Don't let property management charges go through the roof
Do you live in an apartment block or housing estate that is managed by an agent? How much is your management fee each year? Is it too much?
"Owners should have seen a 30pc or more reduction in management fees," advises Brian Keenan, Managing Director of Keenan Property Management, "if the finances are in good shape.
"But some owners are paying ridiculously high management charges," claims Keenan. "These are rates which were put in place during boom times and are certainly not reflective of today's landscape."
Keenan points out that there is better value to be had now when it comes to everything from painting to landscaping, lift maintenance and even waste collection. "No one questioned the charges before", he says, "but times have changed. It's time to live in the real world."
If the management charge is too high, chances are fewer people will pay it and this is a very real problem that KPM, who manage 10,000 properties across 90 developments, are seeing.
"In some cases as many as 40pc of owners in a single development are not paying the fee," says Keenan. He adds that this is more likely to happen in newer blocks where owners are in negative equity and struggling to meet bills, and also in the Section 23 investment developments where no owners are residents.
If some people aren't paying, all they can do is write letters and more letters asking them to pay. The only other solution is to take the costly route of court action against the owner.
But what are the consequences of owners not paying the fee? Firstly, other owners may have to pay more in order to have enough money in the pot for services. More worryingly, safety and maintenance could suffer.
Keenan's colleague, Property Manager Sean Waters, says he has seen situations where "fire safety systems have been disabled, there is no lift cover, no fire cover and no buildings insurance." This, he says, is "storing up problems for the future".
So it's crucial that management fees are paid. But no one wants to pay above the odds, so how can you be sure you're getting a good deal?
The key lies in getting involved.
In a nutshell, the complexes that are best are those where everyone pays a reasonable management fee and where owners are involved in its running, ensuring they receive regular financial information and are paying the best price for services.
Here's how to do it:
- Know that, as an owner, you are automatically a member of the management company. This gives you a say, and a vote, in how things are run.
- If the original developer still has a grip on the management, be aware that this is now against the law. Ownership of common areas should have been transferred to the owners' management company by the end of September last year.
- Get involved by becoming a director or asking the directors to organise a meeting where the running of the complex can be discussed.
- Ask the managing agent to attend and to go through all the bills to show how they are getting best value for you.
- Remember, you (the owners' management company) have hired the agent. If you're not happy with the service they provide or the fact that bills are too high, switch to another agent.
- The members of the management company must approve the management charge and the costs to run the particular development.
- Keep attending meetings and in particular the AGM so that you get your say.
- Make sure you receive regular information on bills to be paid and accounts. Check and see if the bills are too high and, if so, ask the agent to find better value.
- Approach all costs as you would in your own home. Make sure that services are switched to find better deals, and that several quotes are sought for any specific work required.
- Ensure money is put aside in a sinking fund. This is important for any big work that may need to happen and it's also a legal requirement.

Backblaze is my favorite online backup service, mostly because everything about it is so simple, especially its pricing and software.

I also like that there are no file size limits, meaning you can finally back up your 100 GB virtual machine files and 3-hour 4K videos!

Backblaze is $5 /month /computer and allows an unlimited amount of storage. The cost can get down to a monthly $3.96 with a two-year plan purchase. This makes Backblaze one of the least expensive unlimited backup plans that I've reviewed.

A Tour of the Backblaze Service

If you're concerned about backing up online being complicated or confusing, you're going to love Backblaze. For what it's worth, this is the cloud backup service I pay for and use on my computers.

CrashPlan is one of my favorite cloud backup services because of the excellent software, cost effective plans, and feature set.

CrashPlan's interface is excellent and the features abound including a web-based restore option, continuous backup, 448-bit encryption level (better than your bank), and the foundation of a proven and excellent backup software program.

CrashPlan Unlimited is $5.99 /month /computer and, as the plan name suggests, allows an unlimited amount of online storage.

CrashPlan Family Unlimited costs $13.99 /month and offers an unlimited amount of online storage for up to 10 computers, all under the same account.

A Tour of the CrashPlan Service

All CrashPlan plans offer slight discounts if you pay for a year in advance.

Any exceptional backup service should be easy to use, automatic, reliable, and easy to restore from. Carbonite is all of these.

Many people rave about Carbonite's online backup plans - they've been popular options for a very long time. My experience has been similarly positive.

All of Carbonite's backup plans allow for an unlimited amount of data backup, are per-computer, and require at least a 1-year prepayment.

Carbonite's lowest tier plan, Personal Basic, runs $5.00 /month ($59.99 /year). There are two higher tiers available as well, called Personal Plus and Personal Prime, and run $8.33 /month ($99.99 /year) and $12.50 /month ($149.99 /year), respectively. Each tier is a bit cheaper if two or three years is paid upfront. Plus, they each have a few extras over the base service like external hard drive and mirror image support.

Carbonite has mobile apps available for iPhone and Android systems and is one of the few online backup services with a BlackBerry app.

A Tour of the Carbonite Service

Carbonite also has business-class cloud backup plans. In fact, it tops my Business Online Backup services list.

Note: Carbonite used to throttle bandwidth after backing up a certain amount of data but is no longer doing so for new customers. This change may still be rolling out to existing customers.

SOS is a big player in the online backup world, and for good reason. It includes only one backup plan but lets you choose between eight different storage capacities, all of which offer unlimited versioning, external and network drive support, and tons of other features, all at fantastic prices.

All of these different storage options offer the same support for 5 computers, but the cheapest is 50 GB and is $3.75 /month if you pay for a whole year at once, while the largest, 10 TB, is $250 /month for a year.

Every plan also supports an unlimited number of iOS and Android devices. Follow the links below to see the specific prices for the 100 GB, 150 GB, 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB, and 5 TB prices.

Note: Unlike some other online backup plans, SOS does not continuously backup all of your data - it occurs once per hour at most. However, certain types of files can be backed up instantly via SOS's LiveProtect feature. I have more on this in my review.

SugarSync is different.... in a good way. It's actually much more than an online backup service.

While SugarSync does "traditional" online backup just as well or better than much of its competition, it can also sync files between all of your devices, gives you access to your backed up data from your smartphone, and much more.

SugarSync has three tiers of online backup service that are each available on a month-to-month purchase plan: 100 GB for $7.49 /month, 250 GB for $9.99 /month, and 500 GB for $18.95.

All three of SugarSync's cloud backup plans offer support for an unlimited number of devices meaning you can back up your smartphones, laptops, tablets, and desktop computers all on the same account without any extra fees!

If you want more than just an online repository for safety's sake, you will no doubt be very happy with SugarSync.

SugarSync also has a business class plan as well as larger plans that you'll have to get a quote for.

SpiderOak is one of the better choices overall among the online backup services out there, especially when it comes to security.

I love any company that puts the effort they did into their Support, tutorials, and FAQ pages. It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of attention to customer support.

Pricing is pretty straightforward at SpiderOak. Everyone starts out with a trial run account that lasts 21 days.

You can select the 100 GB, 250 GB, 1,000 GB, or 5,000 GB plan for $5 /month, $9 /month, $12 /month, or $25 /month, respectively.

Sign Up for SpiderOak

In Depth Review of SpiderOak

A Tour of the SpiderOak Service

If you're after a service run by a company that takes their lack of access to your files very seriously, you're going to love SpiderOak!

A one-year prepayment of any of the plans I mentioned above will save you a little over the listed prices.

Mozy's online backup service works in a similar way to other services - you download and configure a piece of software and the backup is handled automatically in the background.

To get started with Mozy, visit their website and sign up for an account. Download and install their software, tell it what files or types of files to back up, and then set it to automatically backup whenever you like.

MozyHome Free is, you guessed it, completely free and gives you up to 2 GB of storage on Mozy's servers.

MozyHome's pricing is tiered: $5.99 /month for 50 GB from one computer and $9.99 /month for 125 GB of storage from up to three computers. Deep discounts can be had for one or two-year prepayments.

Additional computers and each additional 20 GB of space can be had for an extra $2 per month, each.

Sign Up for Mozy

In Depth Review of Mozy

A Tour of the Mozy Service

Mozy used to offer an extremely popular unlimited backup plan but ended it in favor of its current tiered plan in early 2011. Mozy also seems to be changing focus, away from its consumer business and more toward its small business and enterprise offerings.

Zoolz is an online backup service with just about every limitation removed but with a small trade-off. While most online backup services allow pretty much instant restore, a restore will Zoolz can take 3 to 5 hours to initiate.

Zoolz lets you back up all of your internal, external, and even network drives. There are no file type or size limits and nothing is ever deleted. If you're looking for a backup for archival purposes, Zoolz might be a great choice.

Two consumer-class plans are offered by Zoolz, both of which must be paid by the year at once.

Zoolz Family provides 1,000 GB for $5.83 /month. The last option is Zoolz Heavy - 4,000 GB for $20.83 /month.

Zoolz also offers Zoolz Business, a business-class plan.

Livedrive is an online backup service that offers an interesting mix of backup plans, a cost effective way to add computers, and a really nice computer and mobile app interface.

Livedrive "Backup" and "Pro Suite" are the two backup plans you can purchase. They both offer unlimited online backup, but the "Backup" plan only supports backing up 1 computer, whereas the "Pro Suite" can backup up to 5 computers.

Livedrive "Backup" runs $8.00 /month, and "Pro Suite" is $25 /month. With either plan, more computers can be added for just $1.50 /month for each one.

All Livedrive online backup plans offer significant discounts if you prepay for one year.

Sign Up for Livedrive

In Depth Review of Livedrive

A Tour of the Livedrive Backup Service

Another plan offered by Livedrive is called "Briefcase," and is just an online storage plan that offers 2 TB of space - it doesn't back up your files like a regular backup plan. Other features are included, though, like file sharing, file editing, file syncing, and more. This comes in at $16 /month.

If you purchase the "Pro Suite" plan, you get 5 TB of the "Briefcase" plan included, plus its added features.

"Military grade" AES-256 encryption, an excellent interface, and competitive pricing makes any of the Livedrive plans a good choice.

Acronis, maker of the popular True Image Home backup software program, is also in the online backup business.

When you purchase the backup software, you also get 50 GB of cloud storage for one year included in that price, making it $39.99. However, you can add additional storage too:

 250 GB for $49.98 /year

 500 GB for $59.98 /year

 1 TB for $79.98 /year

 2 TB for $119.97 /year

 3 TB for $159.96 /year

 4 TB for $199.95 /year

 5 TB for $239.94 /year

These prices are if you purchase the storage for a year at once. However, it's a little cheaper to pay for 2 years. Discounts of up to 25% off the first year are sometimes offered.

Also, the prices above are for backing up just one computer. You can instead pick the three or five computer option to backup more computers, but the price, of course, goes up too.

A premium plan is available as well, which starts you off at 1 TB of cloud storage and include additional features not found in the standard plan.

Learn More About Acronis True Image Cloud

Among other options, you can also encrypt your files with a password, schedule the backup to run at a later time, and choose a specific country for the data center where the files will be stored.

IDrive is similar in most ways to other online backup services. Maybe the best thing about IDrive is that it comes with a free offline backup option, something I haven't seen with any other service and should come in really (really) handy for large initial backups.

Some other features that make IDrive stand out among the competition include mapped drive support and excellent mobile apps.

IDrive Basic is completely free and gives you up to 5 GB of storage.

IDrive Pro Personal comes in two tiers and offers support for backup from an unlimited number of computers:

1,000 GB for $69.50 /year

10,000 GB for $499.50 /year

IDrive also has business-class pricing and storage options available, up to 12,500 GB for $2999.50 /month.

All plans are offered in one-year and two-year prepayment forms. Two year IDrive plans are half off for the first year, and one year plans are reduced by 25% for the first year.

Learn More About IDrive

I found the IDrive software to be no more or less intuitive than any other online backup services. However, if their unique features are high on your priority list, IDrive may be just what you're looking for in an online backup service.

Norton Online Backup is just what you'd think: an online backup offering from Norton, the makers of popular antivirus and computer security software.

Norton Online Backup has only one plan which offers 25 GB of storage at a cost of $49.99 /year (about $4.17 /month). You can back up from 5 different computers with your one account.

Learn More About Norton Online Backup

If 25 GB is all you need and you love Norton software, then go for this. However, I found nothing particularly interesting about Norton Online Backup vs other more feature rich offerings on my list.

Data Deposit Box (formerly known as KineticD) is an online backup provider that advertises "true month-to-month."

There are five "volumes" available: 60 GB for $7.99 /month, 100 GB for $12.99 /month, 250 GB for $32.99 /month, and 500 GB for $64.99 /month. There's also a 1 TB plan you can contact their sales team for prices on.

Learn More About Data Deposit Box

Data Deposit Box sports all the excellent features of any online backup service that's in it for the long run, including an excellent history of data recovery, top-of-the-line security, and more.

The ElephantDrive online backup service offers a couple easy to understand plans to choose from, of which is FREE if you just need 2 GB backed up.

The cheapest of these plans is $9.95 /month for 1 TB of backup space. You can add more for the same price and storage, like another 1 TB for another $9.95 /month.

Check the link below for the other plans you can choose from. ElephantDrive also offers business online backup plans.

Learn More About ElephantDrive

One really cool feature with ElephantDrive's service is their "Web Explorer" which you can use to upload files via the browser from wherever you may be. Many online backup services only allow backup from your approved devices and only via their proprietary software.

Jungle Disk is an online backup service provider that works a bit differently than most. Jungle Disk structures their pricing so you only pay for exactly what you use.

Jungle Disk has a base price of $4 /month + storage fees. There are no file size limits, network drive support is included, and you get AES-256 private key encryption.

Storage fees differ depending on the online storage provider you choose to use with Jungle Disk. Amazon S3 (US or EU) or Rackspace are your options, costing $0.125 /GB-Month or $0.15 /GB-month, respectively. In addition to this, you immediately get 10 GB of free storage when you sign up.

Amazon S3 also charges $0.12 /GB downloaded (e.g. when you restore data from your backup) and a very small fee per upload and download request.

Jungle Disk Server is their business-class plan and works similarly but at $5 /month instead of $4.

Learn More About Jungle Disk

If the static plans of other online backup services don't appeal to you, Jungle Disk's pay-for-what-you-use plans might be an excellent fit for you.

Memopal is an online backup service with support for a wide range of operating systems, both desktop, and mobile.

Memopal offers 2 plans:

 3 GB for FREE

 500 GB for $79 /year

The 500 GB plan is for one user at $79 /year (around $7 /month), with each additional computer costing around $6 more each month.

You can upgrade the 500 GB Pro plan to a 1 TB plan, but it, of course, comes with an extra cost.

Learn More About Memopal

Software or apps for Memopal are available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry.

ADrive is an online backup service that sports some interesting features like WebDAV support, online document editing, and more.

There are dozens of online backup plans listed on ADrive's site, ranging from $2.50 /month for 100 GB of space to $250.00 /month for 10 TB (10,240 GB). You can request a quote if you need more space than that, even up to "unlimited."

All ADrive backup plans can be had at deeply discounted prices if you prepay for a longer time period, up to three years.

Learn More About ADrive

Multi-user business plans are also available.

Total Defense Online Backup is another service that offers a number of popular features like an online and local backup with the same tool, file sharing, mobile access to all backed up data, unlimited versioning, and more.

Only one online backup plan is available from Total Defense: $59.99 /year for 25 GB of online backup space.

You can buy the same plan at two or three-year prepayments to bring the price all the way down from the equivalent of $5.00 /month (for one year) to around $3.00 /month (with the three year $119.99 /year option).

Learn More About Total Defense Online Backup

Total Defense doesn't specify how many computers they support on a single account but they do say "multiple" so I'm guessing that means at least a few, possibly unlimited.

OpenDrive is yet another online backup service that I hear good things about. They allow streaming video and music, public folders, and lots more.

OpenDrive has one consumer-grade plan called Personal Unlimited. It costs $9.95 /month and offers an unlimited amount of storage space for your backed up files. Prepay for 1 year at $99 to bring that down to $8.25 /month. You can also add up to four additional computers for $29.85 more each month (or one computer for $9.95 extra).

You also have the option of a custom plan with OpenDrive. Choose the online backup space you need, how much bandwidth you expect to use, and the number of users that should have access to the backups. Most of you probably won't find a better deal using the custom plan, but you might if you have a small amount to back up.

Learn More About OpenDrive

OpenDrive also has a free plan, offering 5 GB of storage, but since this plan doesn't offer file versioning or any kind of encryption, I'd stick to Personal Unlimited if you're looking for a true cloud backup solution from this company.

MiMedia has four backup plans, but they're severely limited in what you can back up. The only supported files are images, videos, documents, and music files.

MiMedia is much different than the other backup services from this list because nearly all of them can upload many more file types, like EXE, ZIP, 7Z, ISO, and others.

These are all of MiMedia's plans:

MiMedia Free: 10 GB for Free

MiMedia Basic: 500 GB for $7.99 /month

MiMedia Plus: 1,000 GB for $9.99 /month

 MiMedia Premium: 2,000 GB for $15.99 /month

MiMedia's can be purchased at a slight discount if you prepay for a year at once. For example, with the Basic plan, paying monthly for a year equates to $96, or you can buy a year at once with one payment of $85.

Learn More About MiMedia

MiMedia can be used on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.

Backing up with MiMedia is great if you only need to back up things like your photos and music. For support for a wider range of file types, I suggest using a different backup service from this list.

Jottacloud is another online backup service with a free plan, as well as an unlimited one, plus support for Windows and Mac, as well as iOS and Android.

Jottacloud has one FREE plan, Jottacloud Free, that allows 5 GB of backup from an unlimited number of devices.

The Jottacloud Unlimited plan gives you unlimited backup space as you need, from an unlimited number of devices. It runs around $9.90 /month or as low as $8.25 /month with a one year plan.

File versioning works a bit differently with Jottacloud. Most online backup services keep old versions of files available for restore based on length of time, like 30-day, 60-day, even unlimited. Jottacloud, on the other hand, keeps the last 5 versions no matter the length of time.

Files you delete from your computer are kept in Jottacloud's Trash folder for 30 days, giving most of you plenty of time to restore that accidentally removed file.

Learn More About Jottacloud

Jottacloud's servers are located in Norway.

MyPCBackup is another online backup service with a really user-friendly web interface and a good selection of backup plans.

The MyPCBackup Ultimate plan offers 1 TB of online backup space for $14.44 /month. Two other limited plans are also available: MyPCBackup Premium which runs $11.94 /month for up to 250 GB of storage space and MyPCBackup Home which allows up to 75 GB of storage for $10.69 /month.

All MyPCBackup plans can be had for several dollars per month less if a full year is paid up front. There's also a 6-month option for all three plans. Since you can't add more than one device for a plan, each device you want to backup requires a plan of its own.

Learn More About MyPCBackup

Note: MyPCBackup is owned by Just Develop It (JDI), which also owns ZipCloud, JustCloud, Backup Genie, and StudyBackup, four additional online backup services with similar feature sets and pricing. I didn't feel right about profiling them individually in this list considering how incredibly similar they are.

It's possible, depending on the total amount of your wife's disability benefit plus your retirement income, and on the amount of your assets other than the value of your home. If your joint income and assets are low enough, your wife might qualify for a state-run program where you live, which can provide some payment directly to your wife for care in the home. She can then use this money to pay you. Even if your wife qualifies for such a program, the payments are not great -- but they can certainly help.
These payments work through a state program usually run through your state's Medicaid program. It's called Cash and Counseling or something similar (the names are different in some states). If your wife qualifies for home care under Medicaid, Medicaid would normally provide that care through a certified home care agency. But this special program directly pays the person needing care the same amount Medicaid would pay an aide from a home care agency. If she qualified, your wife could spend these funds on you or anyone else she chooses to take care of her. She can also use some of the money to make home improvements for safety or comfort, or to buy personal care items. Some states with these programs offer it only to people who qualify for Medicaid under the state's rules. Other states allow people into the program even if they have slightly too much in income or assets to qualify for Medicaid.
To learn more about these cash assistance programs -- not all states have them -- go to the page on this site called How to Get Paid for Being Your Parent's Caregiver. You can help your wife apply for Cash and Counseling or similar state cash assistance program, if your state has one, at a local Medicaid office. To find the local Medicaid office near you, contact the Eldercare Locator by phone toll-free at 800-677-1116, or online you can go to any search engine and type in "Medicaid" and the name of your state.

Wife is 77 years old - I am 76- can I get paid as a caregiver for her
State Medicaid are the programs that pay for Care Giving. Unless your spouse qualifies for Medicaid under a particular Disability Waiver allowed by your State's Medicaid, she and you must qualify under Federal poverty income limits. These are VERY low. My husband has a TBI and is on full SS Disability, but our State does not provide Medicaid for brain injuries. In our State, he has to qualify under the poverty income limits. His $946 month SSDI check will always put him over the limit and keep him ineligible. Same with our combined income as a couple. I took early SS to make ends meet financially. He DID qualify for our State Medicaid program CAPS, but we had to pay the first $720 each month, - almost all of his monthly check. Plus, the paperwork and receipts were a terrible burden.
In our State, spouses are not paid to provide care unless they have passed State certification. Your new income, - whether from being a Care Giver, or working PT out of the home - will be added in and will increase your monthly CAPS deductible costs. After 3 yrs of trying, searching, and applying for every Medicaid program I could find, I've given up on getting help from State programs. I am now working PT caring for a Disabled child. I can and am getting paid for caring for someone else, but not my husband. The mother pays $1,800 each month to get the CAPS services for her daughter! Even with the mother's high salary as a supervising RN, this is a crippling sum to pay each month. In conclusion, I have found that the States have been dismantling the Medicaid programs due to the economy. I have not found the help I had hoped for through the State Medicaid programs. The Medicaid programs change almost weekly. October 2009 when my husband was re-hospitalized, I was applying for State Medicaid Long Term Care. In the middle of my application process, our State eliminated Intermediate level nursing home care. Now only the acutely ill will get LTC. Other States like Florida, are limiting their programs to one or two hundred a year. I hate to be the barer of bad news, but Medicaid help is being dismantled.
Im 27 my father had a stroke sept 09 and has apahisa (speech disorder) and cant walk, talk, or stand on his own. My mother is his 24/7 caregiver. I have 3 sisters who help out as much as we can. My mother too is wondering how she can get goverment help bc she can only work when myself or one of my sisters can look after my father. Im a hairdress and I meet alot of clients. Today actually one of my clients told me about a web site to help out with medication help. This isnt a answer to your question but help for your medication bill. The web site is if you live in FL FloridaDiscountDrugCard.com hope this helps out anyone. God Bless
Taxes keep going up, the government is less and less helpful
I am my wife's caregiver, cooking, cleaning, shopping, the whole thing we call life. I work full time on top of that, if she did not have medicare we would be in world of hurt. That pay her medical expences. By the way, she has hydrocephalus. She has had a total of 24 surgeries from birth till now at age 36. She is a true inspiration to everyone who knows her, never giving up. I think the body pain and headaches are the worst part. She used to be on so many meds to keep the pain at bay, she developed a resistance to them and was in agony. We dumped the meds except for topamax, and are now seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist. She is nearly pain free now. The chiropractor is the key, the adjustments keep her spinal fluid from pushing her bones out of wack, this keeps the spinal fluid flowing away from her brain, less pressure means less headaches and less nerve pain. She can now walk again, talks to the neighbors again, trust me that's a lot. I am writing this because I know, someone out there has hydrocephalus, or knows someone who has it. I know it is a painful road to travel, but God loves you and so do I. Hang in there.
IL will not pay a spouse as a Care Giver. They will pay our children as Care Givers. The Federal government is supposed to be working on assisting Family Care Givers...we shall see.

An outing to popular Hosaks Cave at Salt Fork State Park turned tragic for a West Virginia family Thursday when 14-year-old Aubrey Parsons fell from the top of the cave to the rock- and tree-covered ground 30 feet below.
Miss Parsons was pronounced dead upon arrival at Southeastern Med approximately one hour after the accident was reported via an emergency 911 call from the girls mother.
She was pronounced dead at the hospital due to multiple blunt force injuries due to the fall, said Guernsey County Coroner Dr. Janet Brockwell. Her death has been ruled an accidental death.
According to reports, the 911 call was received at 12:22 p.m. The caller, identified as the girls mother, stated Aubrey was still breathing at that time.
The Liberty Volunteer Fire Department was the next to be dispatched to the scene to assist with the extrication efforts and establishment of a landing zone for a MedFlight helicopter.
Liberty firefighters established the landing zone in the Kennedy Stone House parking lot for MedFlight, which was summoned by United Ambulance.
Emergency medical crews arrived on scene quickly and worked to stabilize the girl before she could be extricated from the rocky terrain in a device known as a Stokes basket.
United personnel administered CPR while Miss Parsons was being extricated from the site.
Once loaded into an ambulance, Miss Parsons was taken to Southeastern Med by United. The MedFlight helicopter was not utilized, but medical personnel from the helicopter reportedly accompanied United personnel to the hospital.
Firefighters from Antrim and Liberty cleared the scene at 1:39 p.m.
No additional information was available regarding the circumstances surrounding Miss Parsons trip to Hosaks Cave or Salt Fork State Park, nor the events that led up to her fall.
The accident is under investigation and we cannot release any information until the investigation is complete, said Hal Harper, Salt Fork State Park manager.

W.W. Grainger Inc. (NYSE: GWW) is a distributor of industrial supplies serving the maintenance, repair, and operational (MRO) needs of businesses across North America through catalog sales and approximately 600 storefront locations. Grainger sells parts in most common industrial product categories—from hydraulic pumps to drill bits. The MRO market is highly fragmented, and Grainger, with 4% market share, is by far the largest player.
Grainger aims to increase sales by reaching new customers and encouraging customers to treat Grainger as a one-stop shop for hardware purchases, including purchases they might otherwise make from a more specialized distributor. Toward those ends, Grainger is increasing store coverage in U.S. cities, recently opened a distribution center in Shanghai, and is expanding catalog offerings dramatically. Furthermore, during 2009 Grainger acquired two businesses in the U.S., one in Canada, one in India, and a majority share of a business in Japan.[1]
Grainger's earnings in the coming years will depend on largely the health of the MRO market in the United States. Revenues may also grow relative to GDP if Grainger succeeds in increasing its customer base and sales per customer.
W. W. Grainger Inc. was founded in 1927 as a wholesale distributor of electric motors. By 1936, Grainger had 15 branches across the United States. By the late 1930s, Grainger had begun to move beyond motors and launched Dayton, a private label brand that Grainger still sells today. The company went public in 1967.
During 2009, Grainger was able to post a net income of $431 million from total revenues of $6.2 billion.[2] Revenues declined by 9.2% when compared to its 2008 revenues of $6.9 billion. This decline was largely due to lower demand for products, as sales volume declined 14% in 2009 due to the tough economic conditions.[3] In particular, the heavy manufacturing customer sector hurt Grainger's sales the most, as their sales declined by 20% for those customers.
Grainger breaks its business into three reportable segments: i) United States, ii) Canada, and iii) Other Businesses.
For the year ended December 31, 2009 Granger's United States segment earned a total of $5.4 billion in revenues, a decrease from its 2008 total revenues of $612 million.[3] As a result, the segment's operating income declined from $840 million in 2008 to $736 million in 2009.[4] The company attributed this decline in large part to the tough economic conditions in 2009. Heavy manufacturing customers were hit particularly hard, as net sales to these customers declined by 20%.
During 2009, Grainger's Canada segment had total revenues of $651 million, a decline of $77 million from its 2008 revenue.[4] As a result of these declining revenues, the Canada segment had its operating earnings decline by $10.5 million in 2009 to $43.7 million. Like the United States segment, these declines were largely driven by heavy manufacturing customers purchasing significantly less.
Grainger's Other Businesses segment includes its operations in Mexico, Panama, Japan, Puerto Rico, and China. Net sales for other businesses increased 47.7% for 2009. The increase in net sales was due mostly to the acquisitions they made in 2009 of companies in India and Japan. Despite the increase in net sales, this segment had an operating loss of $11.6 million in 2009, which was a 1.6% improvement from its 2008 operating loss.[4]
Because Grainger derives the great majority of its revenues from U.S. sales, it is vulnerable to downturns in the U.S. economy. This is particularly noteworthy because most of Grainger's customers are themselves vulnerable to economic cycles. As a result, downturns in the U.S. economy hurt Grainger through lower sales, but even more so because their customers themselves are facing difficulty as well.
However, during 2009 Grainger acquired two foreign businesses, one in India and another in Japan. By expanding overseas, Grainger reduces its dependence on U.S. sales. Whether Grainger continues this trend of international expansion in the future remains to be seen.
Keeping Grainger's stores and distribution centers stocked is a significant logistical task. Fuel costs contribute significantly to the costs of stocking material and shipping to customers. As a result, rising fuel prices may force Grainger to pass on these extra costs to customers, something they may or may not be able to accomplish.
Most of Grainger's competitors are nothing like Grainger. In the highly fragmented MRO market, Grainger's 4% market share is larger than any other distributor's. While Grainger originally dealt only motors and electronics, it now covers almost every industrial product category and derives no more than 15% of revenue from any single one. Most of Grainger's competitors are small, often family-owned, local distributors that specialize in a single area. Even national distributors usually focus more on a single product category.

Whitney Port Gave Her Site a Makeover!
Whitney Port fans rejoice — the fashion designer has given her blog a brand new look!
The 26-year-old revealed a brand new, revamped site and we have to admit it's looking positively fabulous! While it may be new and improved, the colorful site still reflect Whitney's style and personality to a tee.
Whit said on her blog:
"Hi tootsies, I could not be more excited to officially welcome you to the new and improved WhitneyPort.com! As an avid blogaholic for the past few years, I decided it was time for my website to undergo a major makeover to be more aligned with the current ME. I've changed and grown over the time I've been blogging and I wanted my website to reflect that personal and professional transformation. Plus, my main thrill in life is a makeover — it gives me a sense of control in a world full of chaos (Yes, I just quoted Clueless). So over the past few months I've been working with the team at BUZZMEDIA to create a design that was fun, vibrant and representative of my personal style, and this beautiful website is what we came up with! As you explore, you'll notice that the design isn't the only thing that has changed, but the layout and functionality as well. We wanted to make your experience on my site as fun and easy as possible!
Anyway, take the time to click around and let me know what you think. I hope you love it as much as I do!!!
Congrats! And be sure to check it out for yourself HERE.

Leaving the cadi and his party at liberty, the whole band resumed their march, escorting the litter by the way they came.
The vizier showed to the cadi Abou Amr this passage which scandalised him.
On the inspiration of the moment he snatched out the eye of the cat, and placing it in the cadi's head, bound it up.
I fell at the feet of the cadi, and besought him for one moment to hear me.
It was not until the second time that the cadi called to him, that Yussuf moved towards him.
But the cadi must be called to correct the irregularity in the contract of marriage.
Agreed," said the cadi; "it is dear—but one cannot have good wine without paying for it:—it is a bargain.
Every parish had a "cadi," who was appointed by the spiritual chief.
By this time the cadi saw his fat fee vanishing, and his ardour for the lady of the striking beauty rising.
The cadi came on board immediately afterwards and inquired for me.

Computer science PhD student Lingxiang Xiang has comprehensively one-upped all would-be wooers with his girlfriend's birthday prezzie – a working R2-D2 controlled by a Raspberry Pi.
Xiang packed the tech into a toy replica of the astromech droid, endowing it with speech recognition in English and Chinese, face recognition, motion and distance detection, and the ability to record and play audio messages. We can only hope he's working on adding a holographic projector to Artoo, so he can recreate the "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" scene.
Want to build your very own R2-D2? Xiang is planning to release blueprints and a tutorial for budding Anakin Skywalkers in February.

The coach has ordered Tucker Vaughn to report to the team's masseuse Wolfie Blue to relieve stress in his lower back. While exploring Tucker's back, buttocks and thighs for sensitivity, Wolfie casually slips a finger in the young athlete's tight hole. Tucker's moans give him the go ahead to continue to probe his ass which makes his hard cock pop out of his jockstrap. Wolfie gets Tucker on all fours so he can move in and get his tongue deep in-between Tucker's smooth butt cheeks. All of the rimming has made both studs horny so Wolfie climbs up on the massage table and feeds Tucker his big uncut cock. Tucker sucks Wolfie's dick until he can't take it anymore; he wants to be fucked. Wolfie shoves his huge cock in the blond jock's tight ass and fucks a load out of him then pulls out and jerks his load all over Tucker's bubble-butt.

I think the most annoying off-season development has been the creation, mostly from the Boston media (see Simmons and ESPN) of "Hank Steinbrenner as Boss II". Thus far he's issued a few interesting quotes that weren't even that outlandish, and that's about it. He's done nothing to make me think we're about to go back to the Bronx Zoo days of the 70's/80's, yet they're managed to invoke that fear in Yankees fans.
I think ESPN and the Boston media (and eventually the local media) are trying to create a persona there that doesn't exactly exist yet, in the hopes of selling stories. Yawn.
Yep, like I said. I'm 100% fine with the moves the Yanks have made. I don't care what Hank says, all I care about are the results, and the team is still headed in the direction Cashman set, which I think is the right direction.
The Yankees may have a brilliant negotiating tactic here. They've kept A-Rod, Mo and Posada. So far, they haven't bet the farm on anyone. It's fun to watch a team that knows how to negotiate. If they don't land Santana, you can be sure their influence has driven his price way up there and put immense pressure on whoever does land him. Sometimes the best way to hurt your opponents is to make them overpay for talent. Masterful.
I really like to read such an interesting article like this. Thanks for sharing this one.

Falcons, Vick Said to Settle Contract Case
Quarterback Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons reportedly reached a settlement that would limit the range of the possible reimbursement that Vick would have to make to the team for violating the terms of his contract.
Vick will repay either $6.5 million or $7.5 million depending on the outcome of the case in court, ESPN reported.
The Falcons originally were awarded approximately $20 million but that amount was reduced to $3.75 million by a federal judge. The case is now on appeal. Under the terms of the reported settlement, Vick would repay $6.5 million if he prevails in the appeal and $7.5 million if the Falcons prevail.
The settlement could lead to Vick being released by the Falcons, ESPN reported.
However, that would change little about Vick's playing status. The Falcons already had made it clear they didn't want him back and had announced they were attempting to trade him. Vick remains on indefinite suspension by the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell said at last week's annual league meeting that Vick would have to demonstrate remorse to be reinstated. Goodell declined to give a specific timetable for making that decision, leaving it unclear whether he'll rule before the 2009 season.
Vick is serving a 23-month federal prison sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation based at a property that he owned in Virginia. He's scheduled to be released in July.

Coco & The Zen Of Bikini Bike Riding
Here's Coco, the majestic battle beast Ice-T built and forged with his own bare hands from a slab of sex and granite with a whole lot of "Damn, woman" thrown in for good measure, learning how to ride and repair a bike for the first time and she couldn't do everything more right: Using lots of spit on the chain, showing it's her breasts to line up the gears, giving it a handjob and then wildly redistributing her weight while holding leashes in both hands and letting dogs walk in front of the wheels. It's like watching Lance Armstrong if Lance Armstrong was a porno version of the Hulk.

The Toronto stock market closed at a three-year high Friday as traders digested a generally positive bag of economic indicators.
The S&P/TSX composite index closed up 53.11 points at 14,054.76.
The Canadian dollar was off 0.05 of a cent at 91.05 cents (U.S.) as manufacturing shipments declined 0.9 per cent in December, the first month that has happened since August. Another report showed that harsh winter weather led to U.S. factory output falling by 0.8 per cent in January.
But New York indexes turned higher after the latest reading on U.S. consumer confidence, the University of Michigan's index, was unchanged at 81.2. A slight drop had been expected.
The Dow Jones industrials jumped 126.8 points to 16,154.39, the Nasdaq was 3.36 points higher at 4,244.03 and the S&P 500 index rose 8.8 points to 1,838.63.
Elsewhere, data showed Chinese inflation well under control. That is encouraging because it leaves the Chinese government room to stimulate the world's second-biggest economy. Other data showed that economic growth across the euro zone was stronger than expected in the fourth quarter of last year.Report Typo/Error

FLASHBACK - Opiate for the Mrs.
You're U.S. Senator John McCain, and you've got a big problem.
Your wife, Cindy, was addicted to prescription painkillers. She stole pills from a medical-aid charity she heads and she used the names of unsuspecting employees to get prescriptions.
The public is about to find out about it.
Until now, you've managed to keep it all quiet. When Tom Gosinski, a man your wife fired, sued for wrongful termination and threatened to expose the whole sordid story, you didn't hesitate to call in the big guns.
John Dowd, the attorney who got you out of your Keating Five mess, worked on getting your wife a sweetheart deal with federal prosecutors. He also made Gosinski's lawsuit go away.

On the afternoon of November 2, 2010, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hong Lei held a regular press conference.
Hong Lei started the conference with an announcement:
At the invitation of Premier Wen Jiabao, Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will pay an official visit to China from November 9 to 10.
This will be Prime Minister Cameron's first visit to China since he took office this May and will be of great importance to the long-term development of China-UK relations. Attaching great importance to Prime Minister Cameron's visit, China is ready to work with the UK side to make the visit a success and inject new impetus into the bilateral relations. As Prime Minister Cameron's visit coincides with the eve of the G20 Summit, China will strengthen communication and coordination with the UK side to jointly strive for positive results at the Summit.
Q: Please brief us on Prime Minister Cameron's itinerary in China. Which Chinese leaders will meet with him? How do you comment on the current China-UK relations?
A: Prime Minister Cameron is going to head a largest-ever delegation to China in the UK history, including four cabinet ministers of finance, energy, education and commerce and about 50 senior business leaders. During the visit, President Hu Jintao will meet with him and Premier Wen Jiabao will hold talks with him. Prime Minister Cameron will also join Chinese leaders to attend the China-UK Business Summit.
China values developing relations with the UK. At present, China-UK relations enjoy sound development. Since the UK's new government took office this May, China and UK have kept frequent high-level contacts and smooth cooperation in various fields, which is a good beginning of the bilateral relations. In the context that the international financial crisis has brought complicated and profound changes to the world landscape, stronger cooperation between China and the UK is not only in the common interest of both countries and peoples but also conducive to world peace, stability and prosperity. China will make joint efforts with the UK to continuously advance the China-UK comprehensive strategic partnership.
Q: What is China's position on Russian President Medvedev setting foot on the "four northern islands"?
A: The "four northern islands" issue is between Russia and Japan. China hopes the two sides properly handle it through friendly consultations.
Q: Dilma Rousseff has been declared winner of Brazil's presidential election. Could you comment? Has China sent congratulations? What is your expectation of future China-Brazil relations? Second, the Shanghai Expo has recently concluded. Could you comment on China's diplomatic achievements during the Expo?
A: We express congratulations to Madame Rousseff on her election as Brazil's President. President Hu Jintao has sent a message of congratulations to Madame Rousseff. At present, China-Brazil relations enjoy a sound development momentum. China is ready to continue joint efforts with the Brazilian Government and society to promote sustained and in-depth development of China-Brazil strategic partnership.
The Shanghai Expo is another international event that China hosts after the Beijing Olympic Games. It is also the first registered exposition held in a developing country. Altogether 246 countries and international organizations participated in the Shanghai Expo, exceeding all previous Expos. Since the opening ceremony on May 1, Shanghai Expo received over 70 million visitors, a new record in Expo history. The Shanghai Expo has truly achieved the great solidarity of people around the world through most extensive participation.
The Expo diplomacy is a systematic program featured by intensive activities, rich content with distinctive characteristics and sparkling highlights. A combination of summit diplomacy, civil diplomacy, green diplomacy and people's diplomacy, the Expo diplomacy has expanded the channel of cooperation between China and other major countries, strengthened the bond of friendship with neighboring countries, consolidated the basis for cooperation with other developing countries, promoted cooperation with all countries in fields of economy, science and technology, environmental protection, culture, and enriched the connotation of China's diplomacy in the new era.
The success of the Shanghai Expo has enhanced China's confidence and determination to continue its reform and opening up. China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development as well as openness and inclusiveness, draw strength from other civilizations, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries and make greater contribution to human progress.
Q: The Japanese Foreign Ministry said that Prime Minister Naoto Kan had a conversation with Premier Wen Jiabao in Hanoi on October 30. Please brief us on the details.
A: Premier Wen Jiabao exchanged greetings with Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan in a lounge before attending the East Asia Summit.
On China-Japan relations, I would like to point out that China attaches importance to developing relations with Japan. It is in the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples to stick to the direction of China-Japan strategic relations of mutual benefit. We hold that the two sides should solve their problems through dialogue and consultation in accordance with the principles of the four political documents between China and Japan. China's position remains unchanged. We hope Japan meet China halfway and make positive efforts to improve bilateral relations.
Q: Iran recently sent a letter to EU High Representative Ashton for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, expressing its will to resume talks with the six countries within this month. How do you comment?
A: China always upholds a proper settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue through dialogue and negotiations. We hope relevant parties step up diplomatic efforts, reach agreement on exact time and venue of the talks as soon as possible so as to resume the talks at an early date and achieve positive results in bringing the Iranian nuclear issue back to the track of resolution through dialogue.
Q: Tsai Ing-wen, Chairperson of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party said in her recent meeting with former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands belonged to Taiwan. How do you comment? Besides, China once said that issues such as Taiwan and Tibet bear on China's core interest. Is the Diaoyu island issue also part of China's core interest?
A: The Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands have been China's inherent territory since ancient times.
Q: Will President Hu Jintao visit Japan while attending the APEC Leaders' Meeting? Will he hold talks with Prime Minister Kan?
A: It is hoped that Japan make concrete efforts to create suitable conditions and atmosphere for the improvement and development of bilateral relations.
Q: Leaders of China, Japan and the ROK said lately in Hanoi that they would strengthen communication and cooperation within multilateral frameworks such as G20 and APEC. What specific measures will the three take to improve cooperation in this regard?

Simulation of Tesla Model S as a police cruiserEnlarge Photo
The city manager of tony Atherton, California, thinks he'd like some new police cruisers.
In fact, George Rodericks suggested to the San Jose Mercury News, "I'd love to see the [Tesla] Model S be used for Atherton's police cars."
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of millionaires living in the tiny Silicon Valley town, where the median house price is $6.7 million.
Turns out those are just the people who buy Tesla Model S electric cars. In fact, according to Edmunds data, the Tesla Model S now has a 15-percent market share of the new cars sold in Atherton.
So Rodericks' comment got us thinking: The Tesla Model S sedan would actually make a great police cruiser.

Here's why.
What do you think? Would the Tesla Model S be your ideal police car?
The only problem we can foresee is that Atherton's very well-heeled citizens may not want their police force to be driving the same electric luxury cars as they are.
Leave us your thoughts in the Comments below.

Fan Has A Tattoo Of LeBron James' Face On His Leg
I love passion in sports…but isn't getting a tattoo of your favorite player's face on your leg going just a tad bit too far?
Is LeBron James (above) getting too much love from one of his fans?
Kurt Helin, of probasketballtalk.com, reports that Nathan Blackhall doesn't think so.
Blackhall had LeBron James' face tattooed to his leg.

It's always good to go back and see if what you thought you knew in the spring held true over the course of the season.
Rotoworld.com's Matthew Pouliot had the guts to do it with his hitter projections and there were more hits, on average, than misses. He puts those preseason numbers under the microscope in his Strike Zone column.
Pouliot didn't see B.J. Upton struggling so badly (then again, who did?), but he did do a nice job of forecasting a breakout season for the Royals' Billy Butler, among others.

Yup, That's Beyonce's Sideboob
…. NOT attractive!
Well I should have suspected she had implants… Nice scar…
Even her sideboob was over-exposed.
bad scar
Needs introduced to my full-frontal penis.
that isnt a scar, but still a tell tale sign she still has implants. It is the breast tissue on top and the implant underneath. She had them put under the muscle. Looks good and fooled me (and i usually have great implant radar) until now.

JERUSALEM (Oct. 12)
The Soviet Union will be put on public "trial" at a European capital yet to be named, for "violations" of its own laws by the persistent persecution of Jewish culture and the Hebrew language, it was learned here today. An international commission, headed by former Israeli Attorney General Gideon Hausner, will assemble the evidence.
The commission was formed some time ago. Its membership and mission were disclosed when it was learned that the Soviets are going ahead with the trial of losif Begun, a 55-year-old Jewish engineer and an unofficial teacher of Hebrew in Moscow who faces a maximum sentence of 12 years' imprisonment for alleged anti-Soviet activities.
According to a Tass report, the trial began today at Vladimir, 200 kilometers from Moscow. Earlier reports said the trial was scheduled to open tomorrow. Begun's wife and his son Boris were reportedly on their way to Vladimir from Moscow in the hope of being admitted to the court.
Begun has already served prison sentences for Zionist activities. He was arrested in November, 1982 and held in solitary confinement pending trial. He has reportedly said he intends to use his trial as a forum on the "persecution of Jewish culture in the USSR,"
In addition to Hausner, the man who prosecuted Adolf Eichmann, the international commission consists of Telford Taylor, the American prosecutor at the Nurem burg war crimes trial; Prof. Alan Dershowitz of the Harvard Law School; Rita Hauser, former head of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights; and Arthur Goldberg, a former Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and former U.S. Ambassador to the UN.
