Age Replacement Under Alternative Cost Criteria
Due to the complexity of optimum replacement problems over finite lime horizons various asymptotic criteria based upon fixed age replacement policies have been employed in the literature and in practice. In this paper the relationships between the optimum policies under three alternative cost criteria are considered. An ordering of the accounting costs under two of these is obtained, and for distributions with Increasing Hazard Rate an ordering of the optimum replacement time is derived. For a finite time horizon the policies are compared to the optimal sequential and fixed-age replacement polices through the example of a gamma distribution previously investigated by Barlow and Proschan (Barlow, R. E., F. Proschan. 1962. Planned replacement. K. J. Arrow, S. Karlin, W. L. Smith, eds. Studies in Applied Probability and Management Science. Stanford University Press, Stanford, Cal.; Barlow, R. E., F. Proschan. 1965. Mathematical Theory of Reliability. Wiley, New York.).

The High Court said it wouldn't hear an appeal by SingTel Optus against a ban of its time-shifting product TV Now, a decision that ends the service which deeply upset the Australian Football League.
It allowed Optus subscribers to record free-to-air television, including sport, on a mobile handset or tablet device and play it back within minutes of a live broadcast.
In April, a full bench of the Federal Court found TV Now was in breach of copyright laws, overturning a previous ruling in its favour.
Yesterday, after a brief submission from Optus's lawyers, Justice William Gummow said there were insufficient grounds for leave to appeal before the High Court to be granted and that such an appeal was unlikely to be successful.
Optus vice-president of corporate and regulatory affairs David Epstein said debate over the legality of the service was not over and it would pursue the matter through an Australian Law Reform Commission review of copyright laws.
The service prompted AFL chief executive

Newly re-mastered in HD one of John Waynes most beloved classics co-starring his beautiful Wake of the Red Witch co-star Gail Russell. Angel and the Badman is also the first film produced by the legendary star and one of the loveliest westerns ever filmed. Wayne stars as Quirt Evans a notorious gunfighter whos wounded and sheltered by a Quaker family. Attracted to the familys angelic daughter, the hard-bitten Wayne undergoes a slow and subtle character transformation, but is still obsessed with killing Laredo Stevens (Bruce Cabot), the man who murdered his foster father. Harry Carey plays Wistful McClintock, a single-minded sheriff whos determined to bring Evans and Stevens to justice. Entrusting the direction to screenwriter James Edward Grant (Donovans Reef), Wayne bolstered Grants debut by tapping veteran Yakima Canutt (G-Men Never Forget) to handle the hard-riding second unit direction.

Hello! I have -MANY- Nokia IP3xx series boxes running m0n0 locally and
in our remote locations. I've just acquired a T1 card designed for the
expansion slots found on these units and was wondering if anyone has had
any experience using it with m0n0. Are there any 'secret' directives for
the config file that will allow this to work? Is it even possible to use
it with m0n0? Ideally, it would simply show another interface which
could be assigned to the WAN side of things. Thank you!

NE Texas Choral Society director predicts snow, sets June auditions
By TERRY MATHEWS, News-Telegram Arts Editor
June 6, 2008 - Carol Allen, music director of the Northeast Texas Choral Society, is a woman of many talents, but who knew she could forecast the weather?
"It's going to snow the first weekend in December," Allen said Tuesday. "If it's not snowing outside, I promise it will be snowing inside the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center."
According to Allen, the theme for this year's choral society holiday show, held the first weekend in December, is 'White Christmas. Allen said the theme calls for "1940s type costuming and staging." During the program, the choral society has set aside a moment to remember veterans and acknowledge troops on active duty, some of whom may be home for the holidays. The program will include a time for the children to come onstage in their Christmas finest and sing some favorite carols, and Allen hints at the possibity of some extra-special entertainment.
"I think we're going to have a few special moments in the show," Allen promised. "It's likely that our 'paradocs' - Dr. Chuck Jones and Dr. I.L. Baucom IV - will be featured in the show, which always gives us a moment of grace and hilarity."
In order to get a jump on the program's costuming and staging needs, Allen has decided to hold auditions on Saturday, June 14, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the choir room at First United Methodist Church. No prepared audition piece is necessary, and an accompanist will be provided. Mid-August auditions are also scheduled.
"While the ability to read music is helpful, it is not a prerequisite," Allen explained. "You do not need to make an appointment; just come and don't be jittery. We have a great time at auditions."
Singers rehearse every Monday night for two hours, starting in August until the concert.
First semester singer Linda Mabe plans to be there.
"Sitting in the audience and listening to the sounds of the Northeast Texas Choral Society is great," Mabe said. "But it does not even compare to actually singing with and becoming a part of the lyrical magic of their voices. Monday night rehearsals can not start soon enough for me."

With senior night festivities leading up to Michigan's contest with the Purdue Boilermakers, and a chance to finish with an undefeated record at home, many expected the Wolverines to throw the first punch Saturday. Unfortunately for John Beilein and company, it was Purdue who got off to the hot start.
"We got down early and we missed some things, and there's a lot of times it's not our two seniors that are making the mistakes and when they run their stuff they run it at such a high speed they don't turn it over and they really look for each other," said Beilein afterward. "You couldn't give them much room, they were very selective with their three point shots and they made them."
Purdue's efficient shooting from three point range was too much for the Wolverines to overcome early, and then again late after two huge three's from senior Robbie Hummel. Despite the disappointment of defeat on a night for celebration, Michigan continues to look ahead.
"We're fine," said Beilein, "Stu told the team in the locker room, hey if this helps us get better…I didn't come to Michigan to win on senior night, I came to Michigan to win. If you know this team, I hope that trend continues that when we get beat by a team that played better that night that we get better ourselves."
Michigan now needs plenty of help if they hope to grab a share of the Big Ten title -- an Ohio State loss and two Michigan State losses would give the Wolverines that chance if they win out.
"We're going to keep fighting, even if we were mathematically out of it there's still a lot left to be played for," said Novak. "It's not something we can control. We need to control what we can control, we've got another one at Illinois coming up, got to win that one and take it one game at a time."
The immediate emotions after a loss, especially in the midst of a title hunt, are often anger and frustration. But Douglass and the wolverines plan to move on quickly and get the losing out of the way now.
"You don't want to dwell too much on this," said Douglass. "We might look back on it and it might be a good thing for us to not achieve one of our goals. This can only be used as motivation, you've got to have that back to the wall mentality and I think this will put us closer back to where we need to think and be from a mental standpoint. If we use it like we have every time we've lost , it'll only help us."

SPORTS >> All Stars relish experience
Leader sports editor
IN SHORT: Sylvan Hills duo Raefe Jenkins and T.J. Fenton excel during the annual football classic in Razorback Stadium.
What was supposed to be five local players battling for the East squad in the 2006 All-Star football game last Friday turned into just three, and one of those got in on one play. Searcy place kicker Tanner Gibbs scored the Easts only points with a field goal midway through the fourth quarter.
Sylvan Hills Bears Raefe Jenkins and T.J. Fenton started and played almost the entire game for the East team. Jenkins played tight end and carried every other play into the huddle from the sideline, working closely with legendary coach Frank McClellan, who was coaching his final game after a storied career that included five consecutive state championships in the 80s and 90s, and a national record 65-consecutive victories.
Fenton started at inside linebacker, and played every defensive series except those in the second quarter when the substitutes took the field.
Also invited to the game were Harding Academy quarterback Zach Tribble, and Jacksonville wide receiver Lavar Neely.
Tribble suffered a minor injury during practice on Wednesday, and sat out of the game for precautionary reasons.
Neely left Fayetteville for undisclosed reasons during Tuesdays practice.
The East struggled to move the ball and suffered a 20-3 loss, but Jenkins and Fenton were still ecstatic after the game.
This whole week has been awesome, Jenkins said. Its truly been a blessing. Gods blessed me with this opportunity to play here, and make a few new friends and give me an experience that Ill never forget.
Its been a real good week, Fenton said. Coach McClellan, its an honor to get to play for him. Being up here with all these D1 prospects, in a big stadium with a hall of fame coach, its been great.
Jenkins was also excited and honored to play for McClellan. Being one of the two signal carriers, Jenkins got closer to the legend than most others at the camp, and was inspired.
I loved playing for him, Jenkins said. His leadership and motivation was awesome. Hes an amazing coach. I wish I could have played for him for him in high school. I just lived too far away.
Jenkins is headed to North Texas where hell continue his football career, while Fenton will play for Southwest Baptist in Missouri.

The Fertile Focus is a pocket sized microscope used to detect ovulation using saliva. This lipstick-sized and shaped monitor is a light source and slide. The top cover comes off and the lower half is separated into two. You place saliva on the glass slide and wait for it to dry. Then you put it together and press a small button on the bottom of the case to light up the saliva specimen. You can then match the pattern you see with the instruction booklet. When you see a ferning pattern you are ovulating and should plan sex accordingly to help you get pregnant.

Using the Fertile Focus to try for pregnancy is cost-effective. Since you can reuse the Fertile Focus indefinitely, you save a lot of money on ovulation prediction kits. I also like the fact that you can test every few hours if that makes you happy, without spending a ton of money. In fact, the entire Fertile Focus kit costs less than one month's ovulation prediction testing on the cheap end.

The housing for the microscope is metallic, so it feels sturdy. And yet it's light weight. This makes it easy to slip into your pocket or purse. The nice thing about microscope testing is that it's hard to tell what you're doing, so you can use it in public. The Fertile Focus has its name on the outside label, so if you are trying to keep your baby plans a secret, this might be a drawback for you.

It does come with instructions on use and care. This includes sample photos of ferning and transitional phases. You can also use vaginal secretions with the monitor.

One of the things that makes Fertile Focus so helpful is that you can use it over and over. There is no need to buy something every month or even with every pregnancy attempt. Most of the people I know who use Fertile Focus use the same one every time they are trying to conceive. I did have to replace mine, but that was because I lost it when we moved.

Being able to test throughout the day also gave me the peace of mind that I would be able to really tell when I was close to ovulation. So when I'd get a transitional looking pattern, I'd start testing every few hours. This made me feel more in control. It was also helpful because I didn't have to remember first-morning urine or wait to test at certain times of the day.

My husband liked it because, as someone who had studied chemistry, he could really understand how the hormones shifted. He was fascinated by how the patterns changed. It really helped him be more involved in the whole process.

Roasted Corn & Orzo Salad With Cilantro Pesto

Top Review by averybird
Very tasty orzo salad using all kinds of FRESH ingredients! I tightly packed my cilantro and it made for a pretty strong pesto. You could loosely pack the cilantro for a more mild result. This dish could also be made with a basil or spinach pesto and taste great. For this version I served lime wedges on the side. Very enjoyable, thanks G. Ramirez. [Made for Bargain Basement Tag]

Thanks for the opinion. I had asked if the attorney would review the 350 word doc so I hope you don't mind that I pasted it in below. The problemmatic clauses are in blue. You can see that the cause for the damages is simply not completing the assignment. .
My issues are:
1. The statement that they can extend the assignment with or without notice (not at all OK with me), especially if I leave 'the assignment' before completion and the resulting damages, below.
2. The $8500 liquidated damages. Their concern is that they cannot bill the client hospital until after we have completed training, 240 hours, and worked an additional 80 hours. In the meantime, for these 320 hours, they are paying me/us weekly. Their cash is at risk if we leave prematurely during training. Beyond training.....not as clear, except it is a bad reflection on them if nurses don't fulfill the assignment.
Please just read through and verify if this is unenforceable as was your initial opinion.
(may be extended with or without notice)
By signing this document, I hereby agree to the terms detailed below governing the assignment at xxxx STATE HOSPITAL:
1. I understand that I will be provided 240 hours of training and orientation at the start of my assignment, at no cost to me, as per the schedule specified by xxxx State Hospital.
2. I also understand that there can be no flexibility in the training schedule and that upon accepting the assignment I am agreeing to abide by the schedule without exception, except in the case of an unforeseen and reasonable emergency.
3. I understand that I am required to satisfactorily complete all hours of the orientation and training before I can be deployed by the facility. I understand that if I fail to satisfactorily complete the training as scheduled b yXXXX State Hospital that ZZZZZ Healthcare will be severely harmed and will suffer considerable financial loss as a result of my actions.
4. I understand that upon accepting this assignment, I am also agreeing to complete the entire duration of the assignment. I understand that ZZZZZZ Healthcare is investing in my training and orientation and that if I fail to complete my assignment as agreed, they will be severely harmed and suffer considerable financial loss as a result of my actions.
5. I thereby agree that if I either fail to satisfactorily complete the training, or if I fail to complete my assignment as I have agreed, ZZZZZ Healthcare may recover from me, $8500.00 as liquidated damages, which will become payable immediately upon demand. I also agree that Platinum Healthcare may adjust part or the entire amount against any compensation that is owed to me by the Company.
6. I agree that Platinum Healthcare may recover from me, reasonable attorney fees and legal costs that they may incur as a result of trying to recover the liquidated damages.
As a condition of my accepting the assignment with Coalinga State Hospital, I hereby acknowledge and agree to the above
Thank you for this follow up. This was my first time using the system and I pressed 'accept answer' after the initial response when I really should have requested the follow-up (because I had wanted the commentary on the document itself). With more experience I would have approached this a different way to get that result. I am very appreciative of your answer but will not be able to pay double as the system is directing me to do by pressing 'accept answer' for part 2. Regardless, I thank you very much, and should I require additional employment law expertise I will request you again.

I recently have been bitten by a lot of mosquitoes. I have about 50+ on my legs. They are really itching, and it is preventing me from sleeping since I am in so much pain. Is there anything I can do to reduce the pain? Hydrocortisone 1% does not really help that much.
The most effective thing for multiple bites is oral antihistamines to reduce your itching reaction--benedryl, loratidine are possibilities.
It is unlikely that you have this many bites from mosquitoes (unless you know for a fact you were attacked by that many!) so the possibility of flea bites is more likely (or bedbugs). You can be evaluated in clinic if you are uncertain.

The drunken oil trader who lost his employer $10 million in a binge of unauthorized trading (see original ICIS news article) was back in the news this week as he had his day in court.
Steve Perkins, formerly of PVM Oil Futures, was fined £72,000 by the Financial Services Authority, but what caught the Blog's eye in this article in the Evening Standard was that he was reportedly "in talks with a Swiss commodity broker Starsupply Renewables about a possible job in Geneva."
Since then it has emerged that Perkins is already working at Starsupply Renewables, the world's largest biofuels brokerage, in Switzerland, following the route of so many of our own petchem traders in recent months. He will not be trading during his five-year FSA suspension, but creating trading manuals for graduate recruits.

We've watched quite a few films this week–I blame the crappy weather–so I thought it might be fun to do some quick reviews. I doubt that I'll be challenging the brilliant Kermode & Mayo as film critics and reviewers any time soon, but I enjoyed watching these films so I thought I'd tell you a little about them!
At the cinema: The LEGO Movie
I went along to The LEGO Movie thinking that it would be mainly a film for Lucas, but I ended up having a really, really good time. The highlight of the film, for me, was LEGO Batman who was awesome.
BATMAN: I only work in black. And sometimes, very, very dark gray.
I thought the LEGO DC characters came off really well in the film–loved the Superman/Green Lantern interactions–and we've been wandering around all week singing "Everything is awesome"!
There's a surprise twist about 2/3 of the way through which I swear I've seen before which serves to make the entire movie more awesome. Go and see it, especially if you have kids! (You should probably take them, too.)
Rented: Despicable Me 2
I'm not sure why I didn't go and see this at the cinema with the boys, but this was another hilarious outing with Gru and the Minions. Not quite as poignant as the first film, but still thoroughly enjoyable with loads of great laughs. I'm quite excited about the forthcoming Minions movie which promises to be utterly hilarious. (It will no doubt spawn even more amazing minion cakes! That's a good thing, by the way!)
A long, long time ago: The Last Boy Scout
You can tell this one is from ages ago…aside from the atrocious dress-sense on display, Bruce Willis has hair. It also briefly features a very young Halle Berry as a stripper, sorry, exotic dancer.
The plot revolves around a conspiracy, which Bruce Willis–as a disgraced (but for doing the honourable thing) former Secret Service Agent–is trying to untangle with the help of dead!Halle's boyfriend whose name I never bothered to learn. It's an 18, which gives it serious novelty value these days, so expect lots of explosions, swearing, and violence. Oh yes, guns. Many, many guns. There's even smoking…indoors!
It's not my favourite Bruce Willis film by any stretch of the imagination, but it was amusing for a couple of hours!
On the subject of films, have you seen the amazing Disney Dream Portrait Series by Annie Leibovitz?
|Scarlett Johanssen as Cinderella
Annie Leibovitz has cleverly photographed celebrities as Disney princesses and characters. Scarlett Johanssen is perfect as Cinderella and I adore Rachel Weisz as Snow White. Check the series out here!

Pour your blueberries, strawberries, apple, raspberries, and peach syrup into the skillet.
As sunset hit, a stream of colors from turquoise to pink and peach blended seamlessly on the ceiling, illuminating the room.
A sweet 17-year-old Georgia peach, Melanie Oudin, finds herself astonished to be seeded right behind the Williams sisters.
Several inspectors accepted tickets and a private plane ride to the peach Bowl.
There will be no peach state Todd Akin after the disparate Tea Party strands in Georgia failed to produce a competitive candidate.
I have learned nothing more definite about the word krd than that it is the name of a superior kind of peach (Ghiysul-lughat).
This will be the stuffing with which you will fill the cavities of the twelve halves of peach.
Fill them two thirds with apple, peach, or any other marmalade preferred, and send them to a hot oven twelve minutes.
peach trees are abundant, and bear fruit equal to the best which can be found in France.
Put into a jar French brandy, and rose or peach leaves, in the proportion of a quart of the former to half a pint of the latter.
c.1400 (late 12c. as a surname), from Old French pesche "peach, peach tree" (Old North French peske, Modern French pêche), and directly from Medieval Latin pesca, from Late Latin pessica, variant of persica "peach, peach tree," from Latin malum Persicum, literally "Persian apple," translating Greek Persikon malon, from Persis "Persia" (see Persian).
In ancient Greek Persikos could mean "Persian" or "the peach." The tree is native to China, but reached Europe via Persia. By 1663 William Penn observed peaches in cultivation on American plantations. Meaning "attractive woman" is attested from 1754; that of "good person" is from 1904. Peaches and cream in reference to a type of complexion is from 1901. Peach blossom as a color is from 1702. Georgia has been the Peach State since 1939.
"to inform against," 1560s (earlier "to accuse, indict, bring to trial," mid-15c.), a shortening of appeach, an obsolete variant of impeach. Related: Peached; peaching.

Miley Cyrus' Dang Ol' Gluten Algae Worked Fast
Back in November, Miley Cyrus suddenly became the Twitter advocate for curvy women everywhere after some outlets commented on her weight. This is what she wrote, according to ABC News:
On Nov. 11 the teen star posted a photo of an emaciated woman alongside a Tweet to her more than three million followers, writing, "By calling girls like me fat, this is what you're doing to other people."
She added, "I love MYSELF & if you could say the same… I don't wanna be shaped like a girl I LOVE being shaped like a WOMAN & trust me ladies your man won't mind either."
Cyrus also shared a snapshot of blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe with the caption, "Proof that you can be adored by thousands of men even when your thighs touch."
All of it sounded very empowering and clearly the words of a young woman completely confident with her body encouraging others to embrace their curves. Which is why Miley's next course of action was to immediately shed those curves by presumably starving herself and constantly doing Pilates (As seen here, here, here, here, here and here) then blaming her sudden weight loss on a gluten allergy:
For everyone calling me anorexic I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!
So here is she yesterday leaving Pilates class where I'm pretty sure her thighs couldn't touch if her daddy was pushin' 'em together like two kin at a tractor pull. So sorry, fatties, but Miley's squirrel needs its helpin' of Australian sausage. You know how hunger works.

Retroactive application of a law, rule or regulation
St.Clair Nation v City of New York, Court of Appeals, 2010 NY Slip Op 03471, Decided on April 29, 2010
May the provisions of a law, rule or regulation be applied to the individual with respect to his or her conduct prior to the effective date of the law, rule or regulation? This was the significant issue in Leon St.Clair Nation v City of New York.
St. Clair Nation, an engineer licensed by the New York State Department of Education, was alleged to have placed his seal on digitally altered photographs submitted to the New York City Department of Buildings [DOB] in connection with a pavement plan for a building under construction in Brooklyn. It was further alleged that he subsequently attested the accuracy of a falsified photograph in support of another pavement plan for a separate Brooklyn property and, in the following year, he offered a false application to DOB for alterations to a nonexistent second floor of a third Brooklyn parcel.
DOB initiated an administrative proceeding before the New York City Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings seeking to revoke St. Clair Nation's professional certification privileges. The OATH Administrative Law Judge found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that St. Clair Nation had "negligently certified the accuracy of the altered photographs and submitted a deceptive application." The ALJ recommended St. Clair Nation's professional certification privileges be rescinded.
Accepting the ALJ's recommendation, and relying on a recently enacted amendment to the City's Administrative Code — Administrative Code § 26-124 (c)* — the Commissioner also precluded St. Clair Nation from filing any application or document with DOB for two years, effective January 15, 2008, to be followed by a three-year probationary period.
St. Clair Nation filed an Article 78 proceeding challenging the Commissioner's determination. He argued that [1] the determination was not supported by substantial evidence; [2] the revocation of his certification privileges was excessive; and [3] that Administrative Code §26-124(c) was inapplicable in this instance because it was enacted in 2007, after he engaged in the acts with which he had been charged.
The Appellate Division held although substantial evidence supported the Commissioner's determination as to the falsification of documents, the provisions Administrative Code §26-124(c) relied upon by the Commissioner could not be applied retroactively by the Commissioner to bar St. Clair Nation from submitting any documents to DOB for two years, together with the three-year probationary period.
DOB appealed and the Court of Appeal held that Administrative Code §26-124(c) could be applied retroactively under the circumstances. The court ruled that the Commissioner's refusal to accept documents from St. Clair Nation for a future period of time did not amount to an improper retroactive application of the provision.
Although, the Court of Appeals, citing Forti v New York State Ethics Commn., 75 NY2d 596, said that "It is well settled under New York law that retroactive operation of legislation 'is not favored by courts and statutes will not be given such construction unless the language expressly or by necessary implication requires it' … it is also true that '[a] statute is not retroactive . . . when made to apply to future transactions merely because such transactions relate to and are founded upon antecedent events.'"
Matter of Miller v DeBuono, 90 NY2d 783, was a case involving a nurse aide found to have physically abused a nursing home patient in 1991 and was thereafter terminated. The Commissioner of Health barred her from future employment in a nursing home on the authority of 10 NYCRR 415.4 (b) (1) (ii) (b), a provision that had been enacted after the underlying incident of abuse took place. The Court of Appeals concluded that in Miller's case the regulation had not been inappropriately applied retroactively.
The court's rationale in Miller: "where the requirements for engaging in specified professional activity are changed to govern future professional eligibility, a statute does not operate retroactively in any true sense even though its application may be triggered by an event which occurred prior to its effective date."
Further, the court noted that provision relied upon in Miller was "a safety measure designed to regulate future employment by precluding nursing homes from hiring nurse aides who had been previously found guilty of abuse." Thus, the court concluded, the Commissioner of Health's application of the regulation was not improper merely because the nurse aide's disqualifying conduct occurred before its promulgation.
Rejecting St. Clair Nation's argument that Administrative Code §26-124(c), as applied to him, constitutes an ex post facto law** in violation of the Federal Constitution, the Court of Appeals held that "The Commissioner therefore properly relied on Administrative Code §26-124 (c) in determining that DOB would preclude petitioner from submitting any documents for two years, with a three-year probationary period thereafter."
Further, said the court, based on St. Clair Nation repeated certification and submission of false materials, "we further conclude that the Commissioner's determination does not shock the conscience."
* New York City Administrative Code §26-124(c) provides, in relevant part: "In addition to any other penalty provided by law, the commissioner may refuse to accept any application or other document . . . that bears the signature of any person who has been found, after a hearing at the office of administrative trials and hearings pursuant to the department's rules, . . . to have knowingly or negligently falsified or allowed to be falsified any certificate, form, signed statement, application, [or] report." The Court of Appeals noted that the provision was adopted by the Legislature in 2007, this provision was designed to "promote public safety and prevent the waste of taxpayer dollars by eliminating the repeated filing of false information relating to the construction and repair of buildings in New York City" (Senate Memorandum in Support, Bill Jacket, L 2007, Chapter 542, at 8)."
** Ex post facto typically refers to enacting a criminal law that criminalizes conduct that was lawful when it was originally performed. In the Matter of Keith T. Bush v New York State Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders, 2010 NY Slip Op 03441, decided on April 27, 2010, the Appellate Division said that requiring Bush to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act (Correction Law Article 6-C) does not violate the ex post facto clause of the federal constitution (US Constitution Article I, §10[1]), the due process clauses of the state or federal constitutions (NY Constitution, Article I, § 6; US Constitution, Amendment XIV), or Bush's right to equal protection of the law.

Stomach and Back Pain
Do back pain and stomach pain go together? For many people, the answer is yes. This situation is rarely serious, but it can be difficult to live with: back pain is bad enough, but coupled with abdominal pain and intestinal distress it's even worse. Missing work, being unable to enjoy meals with the family and not knowing what to do about the situation creates additional stress you just don't need. Medication only relieves back pain temporarily, without addressing the underlying causes – so the pain returns again and again. But don't despair! There's a solution to your stomach and back pain that's 100% safe and natural.
Back and Stomach Pain
Back pain is often caused by dysfunction of the facet joints (interlocking "fingers" on the back of each vertebra) or by degeneration such as bulging discs. Muscle strain is another common culprit. And while it may seem illogical that any of these should affect your abdomen or digestion, it actually makes sense when you understand how the back works.When any part of the spinal structure isn't working properly, it affects the many nerves traveling along the spinal canal. These nerves carry instructions from the brain to every single part of your body. So if a bulging disc that causes lower back pain is pressing on a nerve that serves the stomach, for example, there's an excellent chance that the stomach will also experience pain and function at a diminished capacity. The compressed nerves may affect the intestines also, creating digestive upset along with the stomachache. And when muscles in the back are strained, compensatory muscles in the front may become overworked as well, resulting in abdominal muscle pain.
Finally, from an emotional perspective, dealing with chronic back pain can cause stress and emotional turmoil, which often directly affects digestion.
More Serious Problems
The majority of people with back and stomach pain do not have a serious illness. However, if your abdominal pain is severe, it's important to have it checked out, as it could be a sign of one or more of the following:
- Kidney stones
- Gall stones
- Appendicitis
- Diverticulitis
If your stomach and back pain is more typical, there's hope for you as well. A natural approach to stomach and back pain relief is available.
Bon Appetit!"Locating these underlying spinal malfunctions and restoring proper functioning to the nerves is what chiropractors do," offers this busy chiropractor in Phoenix.
By precisely adjusting the structures of the back, nerve interference is reduced or eliminated and those communications from your brain can get to where they're supposed to go! The result? No back or stomach pain.

There are too many Black athletes who refuse to hire other African-Americans. Considering how much money these guys earn, if they used Black professionals, it would have a huge effect on the African-American economy. Imagine how many Black real estate agents could earn commissions on the mansions purchased and sold by Black athletes. It makes no sense for us to keep crying over what we do not have, while we are steadily giving what we do have away to others.
As our young boys and girls are practicing their sport of choice, they should also spend some time learning how to practice collective economics. It is one thing to have millions of dollars, but knowing what to do and not to do with that money is far more important. Just ask Allen Iverson, Kenny Anderson, and Antoine Walker. Twenty year-olds need good advice on how to spend and invest millions of dollars. And they must be exposed to the fact that Black professionals can provide that advice. The Jerry Maguire's of the business must get up every morning and thank their lucky stars for Black athletes.
I read a magazine article about one of our mega-millionaire ball players buying 22 pairs of shoes from a famous store that many Black athletes patronize. Of course, the store is not Black-owned, but what else is new? Anyway, the shoes cost $16,000. Throw in about 10 suits for a couple of grand each, and multiply that by 30 other Black professional athletes who frequent the store, and you're talking about a serious positive cash flow. You know how we like to look good. Unfortunately, other groups know it much better than we do—and they sure do take advantage of it. They make it; we buy it—no matter how it looks.
I know there are competent White agents out there, but as Ware said in the article, "It's no longer a question of ability, but one of opportunity." Some White agents were crying foul when more African-Americans got into the game. In a television special, a White agent accused Black agents of "playing the race card" to get Black athletes to sign with them. He suggested Black athletes should select their agents and others who work for them solely on the basis of talent. Ironically, he was asking for a "level playing field."
If Asian athletes comprised 70 percent of NBA players, we would see nearly 70 percent Asian agents. A similar scenario would prevail if there were a majority of Jewish or Hispanic players. Why are we accused of playing the race card when we suggest African-American athletes hire Black agents? (I wonder how many White athletes are represented by Black agents.) If we play it right, one day not only will we win the game, we win the championship.

Not only can Laws be disruptive in the backfield, but he also screams being a "Jaguar" type of player, as he's considered a hustle guy with a non-stop motor. The former Irishman is very powerful and quick for his size, which often causes match up problems with guards and centers, and allows him to penetrate into the backfield. With the Jaguars struggling to find a pass rush and the amount of lackluster defensive ends that will be hanging around late in the first round, Laws could be the type of player the Jaguars will look to. Another area in which Laws is very versatile is that he has played defensive tackle in a 4-3 scheme, and has also played defensive end in the 3-4 scheme in which the Irish transitioned to last season. This means that Laws has experience in multiple ways to attack an offensive line from various positions and angles. In short, Laws could line up at either position for the Jaguars in certain situations, and would not be totally lost.
Trevor Laws
It also grants mentioning that Trevor Laws was undefeated with a 49-0 super-heavyweight wrestling record in high school. Laws went to high school in Minnesota, which is know as a wrestling factory state. Couple his wrestling ability, which relates a lot to playing defensive tackle, his smarts, his motor, and his versatility; it is easy to see why he is continually shooting up draft boards and has perked the Jaguars interest. Don't be shocked if the Law is selected by Jacksonville with the 26th pick in this April's draft.

(CNSNews.com) – Contrary to Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) statement on the Senate floor that "every penny" of potential profit derived from the government's purchase and resale of troubled mortgage-backed securities "will go directly back to the American people," the law says the money will go to pay off federal debt – some of which is held by foreign entities.
In a speech in support of the financial bailout before the U.S. Senate Wednesday night, the Democratic presidential candidate claimed that American taxpayers would get their money back, raising the possibility they might even profit from the bailout.
"If this is managed correctly, and that is an important 'if,' we will hopefully get most of our money back, and possibly even turn a profit on the government's investment -- every penny of which will go directly back to the American people," Obama said.
The claim is false. According to the bill that passed, the government will get all of its money back – but none will be returned directly to taxpayers.
Under Section 106(d) of the bill, entitled "Transfer to the Treasury," "(all) revenues of, and proceeds from the sale of troubled assets purchased under this Act . . . shall be paid into the general fund of the Treasury for reduction of the public debt."
This means that any money generated by the bailout would go directly into the federal treasury, regardless of whether the federal government turns a profit or not.
The section directly prohibits the refund Obama talked about – returning the money to the taxpayer – by specifying that all proceeds be used to pay off the national debt, prohibiting it from being used for new government spending.
Obama was not alone in touting the possibility of recouping most or all of the $700 billion authorized in Wednesday's rescue package.
Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) made a similar claim, telling CNSNews.com after the vote: "We'll get most of it back, as we sell the assets. It [the bailout] isn't going to cost anything, compared with doing nothing."
But Obama's claim that those revenues would go directly back to taxpayers stood out because it is false.
As Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) told CNSNews.com, the bill's provisions "make sure the money goes to pay down the debt."
According to the Congressional Research Service, a majority – for FY 2007, 53.1 percent – of the federal debt is held by foreign investors.
Among that debt, 69.7 percent is held by foreign governments, including Japan (24.7 percent); China (20.3 percent); the United Kingdom (6.7 percent) and "all oil exporters" – including Saudi Arabia – at 5.9 percent.
Only 46 percent of the national debt is held domestically, and is either owned by state governments that bought Treasury bonds, or by private investors.
The $700 billion is expected to come from Treasury bonds to buy what the law calls "troubled assets," i.e., any "residential or commercial mortgages, any securities, obligations . . . or any other financial instrument that the Secretary determines the purchase of which is necessary to promote financial market stability."

Late Leaf Rust
The disease infects red and purple raspberries but not black raspberries or blackberries. This rust, unlike orange rust, is not systemic.
Yellow masses of spores are noticed primarily on fall fruit of primocane-bearing varieties, making the fruit unmarketable. Because symptoms on the fruit do not usually develop until late in the season, infections in plantings of summer-bearing varieties may go unnoticed. Powdery yellow spores also form on the undersides of leaves, causing badly infected leaves to drop prematurely, but this symptom is generally not noticed until infected fruit is seen.
Disease Cycle
There are several species of late leaf rust fungi worldwide. In our region, Pucciniastrum americanum is believed to be the causal agent. White spruce and Engelmann spruce serve as alternate hosts, and their closeness to a planting may increase the likelihood of occurrence. Spores are produced on infected spruce needles in early summer and can infect raspberries. High humidity is necessary for infection to take place. The raspberries will show symptoms shortly afterward. However, spruce are thought not to be necessary for the rust to survive in a planting once infected since this disease has occurred in successive years in plantings with no spruce in the vicinity. Spores are disseminated by wind but may also be physically moved from infected to uninfected plantings by people or machinery.
Disease Management
Clean nursery stock is important since planting stock can be the initial source of inoculum. Control is aided by cultural practices that increase air circulation within the planting such as thinning canes, keeping rows narrow, and practicing good weed control. Prune fall bearers to the ground; do not keep canes around for a summer crop and rake and dispose of all old leaves. Removing floricanes and infected primocanes in winter will reduce the amount of inoculum. This disease has been especially problematic on summer-bearing Festival and fall-bearing Heritage and Jaclyn. Fall-bearing Josephine and spring-bearing Nova and Esta red raspberries tend to be resistant. Because this fungus is not systemic, eliminating the disease from plants is possible. Refer to Table 7.5 for pesticide recommendations.
The important insects and diseases to be controlled, except for viruses, are listed in the right-hand column of this spray schedule. Always consult the label before making pesticide applications. Labels vary greatly among commercial products of the same material. It is important to refer to the label for the best timing and application rates when applying pesticides. Also read the text for information on cultural practices to minimize the application of pesticides. Due to a wide array of various products containing the same active ingredient, for insecticide recommendations, when appropriate, the active ingredient is listed instead of the name of the formulated product.

Web inventor claims government control limits Net's potential
By Danny Kemp ,AFP Sunday, January 27, 2013, 12:04 am TWN
DAVOS, Switzerland -- The inventor of the World Wide Web warned Friday that government control is limiting the possibilities of the Internet, as dozens of countries and businesses signed a cybersecurity deal at the Davos forum.
The comments by Tim Berners-Lee at the World Economic Forum plugged into a wider debate among the delegates on the future of the Internet, particularly how to balance openness with privacy and security.
While Yahoo chief Marissa Mayer told the forum there was a "trade off" between privacy and the benefits of increasingly personalized services offered by Internet giants, the network's founding father took up the ethical issues at stake.
"The dream is of a more open web," Berners-Lee told the gathering in the Swiss ski resort, citing social media as a way of breaking down barriers.
But he said the recent suicide of Aaron Swartz, a 26-year-old U.S. Internet activist who faced charges of illegally copying and distributing millions of academic articles, highlighted government efforts to police the Internet.
"He downloaded a lot and so the secret service in the U.S. decided that he was a hacker. For them that isn't the term of great praise that it is when I use it. For me a hacker is someone who is creative and does wonderful things," he said.
Berners-Lee — who launched the first Web page on Christmas Day 1990 and is credited with creating the World Wide Web — called on international governments to release more data, saying that others could use it to find solutions to problems including economic and health issues.
"They can give you 101 reasons for not doing it but it comes down to control," the Briton told the forum.
But Yahoo CEO Mayer had a different take when it came to data about individual users held by companies such as hers and by other Internet giants such as Facebook and Google.
"I think that privacy will always be something that users should consider. But I also think that privacy is a trade off," she said.
"Because where you give that personal information you get functionality in return."
Mayer, 37, who took over in July at Yahoo after 13 years at Google in a move aimed at reinvigorating the faded Internet firm, said the future lay in the increased "personalization" of the Web.
She predicted the dominance in coming years of handheld Internet devices to take personalized content.
But she added: "The real question is making money from it."
Joichi Ito, director of the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the Internet worked best when it was governed only by the needs of individual users and communities.
"The Internet is a bunch of humble little small pieces loosely joined. There's no one on the Internet that tries to control the whole of it," he said.
"When you're in a network and you've got YouTube and Facebook and you've got all these other things, lots of little features together make the whole work."

As you may know, all the things really worth insuring, the small cost involved in getting diamond engagement rings insured is obviously worth the cost when you take into account the peace of mind that comes with it. The cost of insurance cover in the case of precious jewellery depends upon its estimated value.
For this reason, it's also essential to get your precious jewellery properly evaluated because this is definitely the base on which insurance coverage amount is determined. Why there is necessity for jewellery insurance? It has been observed that jewellery insurance is done for Retail Replacement Value. Which indicate that the insurance company is responsible to replace the item in like sort and quality. It doesn't mean that the insurance provider will write you a check for the cost stated on the evaluation. More

Choosing your jewellery is no different than choosing your wardrobe. Most important is to stick within your comfort zone and your personal fashion style. That said it never hurts to step out of the box once in awhile.
What's most important is that your jewellery matches up with your outfit. Your jewellery is the finishing touch on your total look. Make your fashion statement count!
You need to determine what you want your jewelry to do. Do you want it front and center stage? Do you want it to compliment? Do you want it subtle? The occasion or event you'll be wearing your jewellery to is also important – make certain it is fitting. A sexy oversized choker might be perfect for a night on the town but may not be fitting for the boardroom.

The idea that parent could be verb as well as noun would have been absurd to her.
The word is a verb being used as a noun to describe $85 billion in defense and domestic discretionary cuts to the federal budget.
One of my favorite teachers at Choate, Mr. Yankus, had a similar warning against using the verb "to be" in any essay.
The verb "to deprecate" entered the English language in the 17th century.
The verb shovel is not a figure of speech; a garden shovel actually is used to serve the oysters.
The infinitive of a verb is treated almost exactly like a noun.
In one case, Horniblow for horn-blow, the verb comes after its object.
Subordinate infinitives and participles take their time from the verb in the principal clause.

You will find as we study the verb phrases in later lessons that these participles are used in forming verb phrases.

On Receiving FedScoop 50 Industry Leadership Award; A Great Team Recognition
I'm deeply honored to be one of only seven in the private sector to receive a FedScoop 50 Industry Leadership Award for 2013. It's humbling to be placed in the company of public sector leaders such as DoD CIO Teri Takai and Marine Corps CIO Brig. Gen. Kevin Nally, among others.
I have a long list of thanks, but let me start with Goldy Kamali and FedScoop for sponsoring these awards and putting on a great evening of celebration; it was first rate. And of course I owe a debt of gratitude to all of you who voted for me; it means a lot to have earned your confidence.
My thanks don't stop here, however. A leader ultimately is only as strong as his team, and I've got an outstanding team here at McAfee Federal. It's a privilege to work with each of you and accomplish all that we do. And I have to say I'm extremely proud of what we're accomplishing. When I think of all the professions I could be in, I feel very good about this one. Where else could I help keep the U.S. government's IT systems secure with innovative, continually evolving technology? This is what we do at McAfee Federal, and I don't think it's hyperbole to say it's pretty important.
From our work on the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program to our collaboration with government and industry on the NIST cyber security framework, we're making contributions that matter to our government and nation. Receiving this recognition from FedScoop and my peers makes me want to work even harder and achieve even more. Many thanks to all again.
