You've considered everything from exactly where you are going, what you'll be doing and exactly how long you'll be there. These are the usual preliminary plans that somebody could have when considering vacations. They don't truly bother much concerning the more in-depth planning and wait 'til it's actually time to accomplish that. On the other side, it's got perks. We never can be truly certain of our holiday seeing as there are countless explanations that could make us delay our trip. Once we have planned everything out, it could be a waste of time. This can be the major reason why people tend to plan their trips once they have actually verified that they can go.Are you hunting about http://obasasuites.com/furnished-suites-saskatoon-regina/Saskatoon-Hotels? Look at the earlier outlined site. When all things have been verified, now you may reserve your flight and find the most effective hotel as these are very required. Reserving a flight ticket is simpler than hunting for a lodging. When you are planing a trip to an undiscovered gem or a rather remote spot, you could be in luck. The choices aren't overwhelming yet.
Yet if you select a place with an incredible number of guests, you should be searching a lot earlier than the date you're departing. If you need to identify the absolute best hotel, you have got to look at a number of aspects. Those are the specific location, the price, the amenities of the hotel as well as the room itself. However what most people are looking after is the price of the place. Except if we have a lot to invest, we might want to stick to the hotels with the greatest prices that can match our budget. It requires time for you to find the best deal, nevertheless there are certainly some tips that will help you out. To start with, you may want to test some applications that are centered on finding the best accommodation deals on where you're planning to visit. In there, you'd be getting comparisons of costs and a few of these destinations have discounts. The majority of people use this as a vacation hack.
Nevertheless, it's not the only thing. You will need the world wide web if you're still not discovering the right accommodation. Several hotels aren't found on these applications since they don't actually want to spend on middleman's rates. It'll be easier to hit the net since there are also smaller but certainly cozy inns and hotels which are not on these apps. When you have found the list of the feasible hotels you are considering, calling them can help. There are prices which can change. You may have reserved a room but you may not have scheduled it on the price that you wish. Plus, you can't ensure since some of them may have hidden fees. You could give them a call and then you will know much better about the charges. And of course, think of the basics once again. This will both be the location and also the room. You need something that is clean and comfy for you and whoever you might be flying with. But it's always good to go with a place that's in the center of the place. This gives you access to anything you may require and for some great journey.

World Business Chicago to Hold Logistics Hackathon
CHICAGO — World Business Chicago is recruiting software developers to participate in its first Logistics Hackathon on May 18. The Hackathon will connect the region's transportation and logistics companies to its thriving tech community, in hopes of generating innovative tools to impact the transportation and logistics landscape and ease congestion in the area.
Participants will include students, technology focused industry professionals, startups and entrepreneurs. The Hackathon will provide unique networking opportunities and a chance to hear from innovative transportation leaders including Chicago Department of Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein and Coyote Logistics CIO Bill Driegert.
The event also will provide the opportunity to bring original ideas into one of Chicago's greatest challenges: congestion.
Cash prizes, as well as the opportunity to present to executive leadership at Coyote Logistics and HERE, a Nokia business unit, will be offered for the leading ideas. Hackers will use data from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the City of Chicago's open data portal, Coyote Logistics and HERE.
"The Logistics Hackathon serves as an innovative economic development tool, linking two of our city's greatest assets: a thriving industry and emerging talent," said Rita Athas, president of World Business Chicago. "Chicago's transportation and logistics companies are looking to hire developers and engineers. This project shines a light on those opportunities and connects talent coming out of our universities with those companies, creating a win-win situation."
Continuing to expand its position as a leading transportation and logistics hub is a key strategy of Chicago's Plan for Economic Growth and Jobs, a roadmap for WBC, developed at the request of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Chicago's transportation and logistics industry accounts for $14 billion in gross regional product, with a projected growth rate of 3.4 percent. Chicago is the only U.S. city where six of the major North American railroads intersect. Approximately 25 percent of all domestic rail freight originates in, terminates at or passes through the region. The plan suggests that Chicago must prioritize reducing congestion and supporting the companies and industries that are poised to capture future innovations within the sector. By bringing together transportation and logistics industry leaders, and making connections between them and emerging talent, WBC is helping to create an environment where these companies can flourish.
The Logistics Hackathon will be held May 18 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 1871, the co-working center for digital startups located in Chicago's famed Merchandise Mart. Sponsors include Coyote Logistics, DSC Logistics, HERE and Load Delivered Logistics. Partner organizations include 1871, the CDOT, CMAP and the Supply and Value Chain Center of the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola. To register, or for more information visit http://www.logisticshack.com or follow #LogisticsHack on Twitter.

Rheumatic Fever
Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is an inflammation of the heart, skin, joints and/or brain which develops after infection with Group A streptococci, such as "strep" throat, or scarlet fever. The incubation period is about 20 days. Less than 3% of those with untreated strep infection may develop rheumatic fever. Most of the affected patients are between six and fifteen years of age.
In ARF, antibodies against the M antigen found in the streptococcal cell wall cross- react with cardiac myosin.
Clinical presentation
Signs and symptoms of rheumatic fever include fever, migratory arthritis, abdominal pain, erythema marginatum (a ring-shaped rash located on trunk and upper parts of arms and legs), Sydenham's chorea, subcutaneous nodules, epistaxis, shortness of breath and chest pain.
Making the diagnosis
Using the Jones Criteria to make the diagnosis of ARF, there must first be evidence of previous streptococcal infection.
In addition, the patient must have two major criteria
- Polyarthritis. This is the most common manifestation of ARF, usually involves large joints, and is migratory in nature. It responds dramatically to high-dose salicylates.
Carditis. Occurring in ~50% of patients with ARF, carditis presents with tachycardia out of proportion to the fever. A heart murmur of MR or AI indicates valvulitis. Pericarditis may present with chest pain, friction rub, pericardial effusion and EKG changes. Signs of CHF may be present.
Chorea. Syndenham's chorea occurs in about 15% of patients with ARF and is more common in prepubertal girls. It is characterized by emotional lability, personality changes, poor motor coordination and the classic purposeless spontaneous movements. It is also characterized by hyperextension of the fingers (spooning) and irregular contractions of the muscles of the hands (milkmaid's grip). It usually resolves within 2-4 weeks. This may be oleic manifestation of rheumatic fever and may occur in isolation; however, it is considered pathognomonic for rheumatic fever and the diagnosis can be made on the basis of this finding alone.
- Erythema marginatum. An uncommon sign of ARF, this rash is truncal and is usually nonpruritic and serpiginous with well defined borders.
- Subcutaneous nodule. The least common signs of ARF, these are found on the extensor surfaces of the extremities or along the spine. The nodules are small, non-tender, and freely moveable.
or one major(above) and two minor clinical or laboratory findings .
- Clinical Findings: arthralgia or fever
- Laboratory Findings: elevated acute-phase reactants (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein), or prolonged PR interval
Streptococcal infection should be treated with Benzathine penicillin. The arthritis responds well to high dose salicylates. Corticosteroids may be used in severe carditis. Heart failure, if present, requires diuretics and digoxin. Syndenham's chorea may be treated with Phenobarbital or haloperidol.
Patients with a documented history of ARF should receive antibiotic prophylaxis until age 21, or for a minimum of five years if there is no cardiac involvement. Patients with valvular abnormalities should receive lifetime prophylaxis. Prophylaxis consists of monthly injections of benzathine penicillin; alternatively, twice daily oral penicillin V may be used. Oral sulfadiazine may be used for patients with penicillin allergy, but it is not as effective as penicillin.

Just got started with Web API.
My question is where is the correct place to shim your hypermedia controls (links) into your responses. I would think you wouldn't want to put it in whatever data structure your returning from your action method (its ok URI in my RESTful responses but messy to have it in internal objects).
There might be instances where you also need to read the hypermedia controls from the request. Is there any good links/blog post you can reference that discuss this? Is action filters the answer?

Next time you go see a movie at the Wilma, show up a little early. Sit all alone in that floating space of vaudeville dreams and movie reveries and try to notice what's new about the place—and not just the free popcorn, either.
The Wilma turns 80 this week—on May 11, to be exact, on which day in 1921 original owner W. A. "Billy" Simons christened the lavish 1400-seat theater with a performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. In many ways, the theater has never been healthier, but it's not something you notice right away. In fact, if your access is limited to the cavernous upstairs auditorium, and if you haven't been to a movie here in a while, you might not discern anything different at all. Or is it brighter? Does the air—that theater air, sweet and heady with age and generations of leached-out butter—feel somehow more salutary? Has that sprinkler head always been there?
Yes, yes, and no. After years of what essentially amounts to preventive maintenance, the theater has now entered a period of renewal. A committed group of caretakers have begun the long and expensive process of buying back the Wilma's former grandeur piece by piece, and pretty soon it will really start to show. The first big investments, however, have been mostly systemic—not cosmetic.
"I never thought I'd see the Wilma fully sprinkled," says theater manager Bill Emerson, squinting into the house lights. "Just never thought I'd live to see the day."
A fully up-to-code sprinkler system is the most recently completed improvement for the Wilma. It's been an arduous process, not to mention a teeth-clenchingly loud one at times in a concrete building where workmen often had to bore through several inches or more to install the sprinkler heads. But together with compliant exits recently added in the dressing rooms and residential tower, the new sprinkler system, completed late last year, represents the single biggest safety improvement made in the theater since it opened 80 years ago.
"The fire department is ecstatic," says Barbara Bick, CEO of the theater's vintage-sounding parent company, the Wilma Amusement Company, "They've hated this building since 1921. They get a call at the Wilma and they all go 'Oh, my God.' But now they love it— all the sprinklers, all the egresses, all the alarms. And they know we're in it for the long haul."
Comfort and performance come next. For starters, the house lights are brighter these days—thanks to about $200,000 in new wiring to completely replace the original, which could only handle 25-watt bulbs. Now the chandeliers can take 100-watt bulbs, all controlled by the rheostat in the projection booth. The new air (and, admittedly, this time of year maybe you only really notice the difference once they tell you) is the result of a sophisticated new HVAC system—heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Completed early last fall, the new system replaces a massive and demanding swamp cooler that used to be housed on the fourth floor. The new HVAC also requires a fraction of the power once needed to heat the building in colder months.
"With a big old theater like the Wilma," Bick explains, "the cost of heating all the ambient air is just outrageous. But now, with this system, we actually use one-tenth of the power because it's taking the air differently. It's taking moisture out of the air, and moisture represents the biggest fluctuation in temperature."
"And," she adds, "Yanking the swamp cooler afforded us about 2,000 square feet we didn't have before."
The performance power of the Wilma has also been radically improved. Backstage, Emerson and Bick beam fondly at the pale green housing of a brand-new, 400-amp, three-phase electrical station—more than enough juice to power any road show that comes through town without having to fall back on an auxiliary generator, and without electrical interference between lights and sound.
The blocks and pulleys in the Wilma's stage rigging are all original, although the original hemp ropes have long since been replaced with Dacron—some 15,000 feet of it, says Emerson, who has overseen all the improvements backstage. If all goes according to plan, the next acquisition will be a new screen to make what is already the biggest indoor projection surface in the state even bigger. An honest to goodness silver screen, and a curved one at that—as opposed to the flat, merely pearlescent one the theater has now. The main difference between the two, Emerson explains, is in the way each screen reflects light.
"A pearlescent screen you can bounce light off of anywhere," he says. "The screen diffuses it. With a silver screen, the light comes right back at you."
With the proper curvature, however, a silver screen is the most luminous; "It shines all the brighter," Emerson says, clearly relishing this next big purchase.
There's more, but you get the idea. The Wilma is being renovated from the inside out, starting with the infrastructure and working out toward the aesthetic details. For the time being, the most outward sign of new life is the exterior tower lights fitted over the winter—five on the trapezoidal building's southern edifice, four on the marquee side and four on the side facing downtown—which brush up the brickwork and break in stark Gotham shadows over the vertebrate overhang of each cornice. The effect is spectacular.
Emerson and Bick say they wish there were more aesthetic triumphs for the public to appreciate at this stage, but so far most of the several million dollars that owner Tracy Blakeslee has put into the restoration have gone toward infrastructure. In some cases, Bick explains, the obvious places to start aren't always smartest or the easiest. Consider, she says, the "sagging" apron under the yellow sign out front:
"It's not really saggy," she notes. "It's designed like that to direct water. With paint, you can trick the eye. That's what it really needs—not just to be painted navy blue, but to have the lines created again."
"You can't just touch something halfway," she continues. "You don't really know what's under there, and in what kind of shape. If you go and touch something like that, you have to be ready to do something else."
And sometimes the renovation can actually create new problems. Not long ago, workmen installing ducts for the heating and ventilation system inadvertently cut through a series of important cables, sending several hundred pounds of plaster loose in one chunk from the suspended plaster ceiling over the balcony. The company's insurer paid for repairs with historically proper materials, but the naked white patch will remain on the Wilma's hand-painted ceiling—the largest in the state—until the ceiling can be cleaned and the pigments matched properly so that the whole field will age together. Soon, the molded plaster of the gildwork on the proscenium arch will also be cleaned up and water-damaged pieces, like the battered eagle commanding the arch, fixed and regilded.
Restoring the Wilma has been and will continue to be a massive—and massively expensive—undertaking, but Emerson and Bick are clearly excited about the project and justifiably proud of the progress they've made so far. They also speak glowingly about the commitment and vision of owner Blakeslee, a Missoula native who took control of the Wilma in January 1994.
"He just put double-hung, highly insulated windows in every window in the Wilma tower," Bick says. "You don't do that if you're just going to collect the rent and run. Having a piece of change always helps, but Tracy's imagination and his willingness to take this place and go with it are what will see the process through."
Meanwhile, work on the myriad details has already begun. The plaster ornaments in the lobby are once again in bloom where local artist Catherine Dixon moved in her scaffolding and went to work, Sistine Chapel-style. Four score years after her opulent debut, the Wilma is in safe and patient hands.
"The theater went to sleep," says Bick, "And now we're bringing it back to life again."

Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi went from riding the pine to busting out for 148 yards last week as the Browns fell to 0-4.
Are you wild enough to take a chance on a rookie receiver from an inept offense that changed quarterbacks less than three games into the season? Is Massaquoi the favorite target for new QB Derek Anderson, ahead of the troubled and struggling Braylon Edwards?
Expecting a Browns receiver to emerge as a regular threat is difficult, at best. This big game looks and feels like a one-week wonder. However, the Browns do not have many good options and Edwards is a mess on and off the field.
Sunday's game earns Massaquoi more opportunities for now. That makes him worth a look if you are desperate for receivers, although you should know that continued success is far from certain. The Browns likely will win a game some time, and they also are likely to improve their average of 12.3 points per game. At least Anderson looks like he will push the ball downfield a little more than Brady Quinn, which also might open up some chances in the passing game.
Here are a few other players worth looking at grabbing off waivers this week:
Sam Aiken, WR, Patriots. The Patriots elevated him above the struggling Joey Galloway and Aiken might turn into the team's third wide receiver. That meant plenty of looks last week but only one catch. Watch for improvement if he can turn playing time into production.
Shane Andrus, K, Buccaneers. Andrus makes his first appearance in any sort of relevant fantasy discussion as he takes over for the booted Mike Nugent. Andrus is completely unproven, the Bucs' offense is atrocious and his first game will be in Philadelphia. Not a good combination.
Michael Bush, RB, Raiders. Darren McFadden put us out of our misery for at least a few weeks because of his knee injury, although that just clears the way for Bush to torment us. Bush will start for McFadden with Justin Fargas assuming the backup role. As awful as the Raiders have been, there is little reason to think Bush, or Fargas, will do much.
Jermichael Finley, TE, Packers. His six catches for 128 yards and a TD on Monday night might be the start of something big for the Packers' extraordinarily gifted tight end. Or it might be forgotten when the Packers come back from their bye week. Finley was a popular preseason breakout candidate so this might be a sign of that hype coming to fruition. He's at least worth grabbing if available.
Garrett Hartley, K, Saints. You have to respect a kicker getting busted for a banned substance, which is why Hartley shows up here. His four-game suspension is over but he is not likely to take over as the Saints' main kicker immediately. If, however, Hartley ever takes over for incumbent John Carney for any reason, Hartley will be a No. 1 kicker option because of the Saints' offense and their indoor home.
Sam Hurd, WR, Cowboys. Roy Williams will be iffy this week because of a rib injury, which might push Hurd into the starting lineup. Hurd's big contribution last week was on a 53-yard bailout pass in the fourth quarter. But the Cowboys are desperate for production in the passing game and Hurd will get a chance to deliver it.
Sean Ryan, TE, Chiefs. What's this? Two TDs from a Chiefs player? It is strange but true, as is Ryan's ascension into fantasy consideration. Eleven of his 23 career catches over five seasons have come this year. Ryan appears to have a little rapport working with Matt Cassel, which might make for a few more TDs over the season. This pick really is only for the truly desperate for tight ends.

As there are too many options for latex mattress, choosing can be an overwhelming task. But if you take note of a few of these tips, you can easily round up your choices and purchase the latex mattress that fits your need:
1. Be careful with sythentic materials. Some latex mattresses come with blends made of these, while advertising that they are 100% organic. Synthetic blends already come with chemicals and therefore, not flame retardant. If you're buying to provide a healthy mattress for your family, this type is not the one you need. Synthetic blend mattresses are normally priced cheaper than natural latex mattress. And they tend to off-gas too. Synthetic materials also go for the covering used to seal the foams in.
2. Check for quality. Some manufacturers use glue to bind the layers of a latex mattress. Similar to synthetic materials, the glue is made of chemicals and may reek of it. For someone with very sensitive sense of smell, this may be an irritant.
3. Ask for a warranty. Natural latex mattresses last very long and that is necessary because people stay on their beds for 1/4 of their lives. And companies that offer these normally offer a return-warranty, as well. So, ask these from your dealer.

An Airtrain, or also called Aerotrain or Air Train, is a passanger plane that appears in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
The Airtrain is a model of a Boeing 727. In Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City the plane isn't solid, except the ones parked at the airport. The Airtrain can be spawned with modifications but may crash the game. The Airtrains flight path is determined by the flight1.dat file on the game. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the plane isn't solid. Simply touching the plane while in a vehicle will kill the player and destroy their vehicle. In GTA Vice City Stories, the plane is solid but the player will lose health instead of being wasted instantly if they touch the plane.
- In GTA Vice City Stories, the plane can be entered by the player but can't be controlled. The only thing that the player can control on the plane is the radio stations.

16 Couples Everybody's Friends With — Whether They Like It Or Not
If your Facebook friends list is anywhere near as accurate as your actual friends list, chances are, you know a lot of people in relationships. Some of those relationships are good, but often, they are twisted, bizarre bent up pieces of metal soldered together with tears and awkward sex.
This is about those relationships. Following, we have 16 types of couples you're probably friends with — or have at one time been a part of yourself.
1. The couple who thinks everybody is trying to bone them. They constantly have stories about how their neighbor/coworker/deli guy came onto them. Hey guys, nobody is trying to have sex with you.
2. The couple who is super openly passive-aggressive with each other. They snipe at each other constantly, and you're like, "Why are you two even together when you obviously hate one another?" The reason? Their sex life is probably insane.
3. The couple that breaks up once week. These guys aren't passive-aggressive, they're aggressive-aggressive and they're addicted to high-pitched drama.
4. The couple who's always accusing each other of cheating. He reads her emails, she goes through his texts. They are the most insecure idiots you know, and somehow, like a moth to the flame, they've found each other.
5. The couple who is practically having sex on the table at your dinner party. Oh, these two. Did you forget they're a couple? How could you, since they've constantly got their tongues shoved in each other's orifices.
6. The couple who won't do anything without the other one. You invite her for brunch. He shows up with her. Did you want to get drunk on mimosas and talk about the latest episode of "The Bachelor" with Greg? Probably not. But there he is.
7. The couple that's completely devoid of PDA in public but then you find out they have a crazy good sex life. Sometimes you wonder what keeps these two together, because their spark isn't obvious. And then she lets it slip that they've been having regular marathon bang sessions that leave her in bed all weekend, and you're like, "whaaaaa?"
8. The couple which is obviously gunning to be a "power couple." These two are drawn to each other because they see the obvious ambition and social-climbing capabilities of one another. They're the first couple to split up and try and take over a room at a party, or try and manipulate the social scene they operate in. (See also: The Underwoods on "House of Cards")
9. The couple that baby talks. "You're my Professor Cuddlekins." "I love my Katy-Wady." Come on, fess up, you've done it, too.
10. The couple where one is obviously more intelligent/more attractive/way nicer than the other. You can't understand why she's dating him, because he seems so dumb. You just don't get what he sees in her. But hey, there they are, happy as clams, defying evolution and the general laws of the universe.
11. The couple that still lives like they're in college. How do these two keep at it with the drugs and the partying and the eating pizza 12 times a week? Answer: Trust funds.
12. The couple who could both do better, but stay together because they're afraid. Loneliness, it's one hell of a drug, and it's what keeps these two together, despite the creeping feeling that they should really just break up.
13. The couple that are best friends, but probably nothing more. The love is there, but the passion is gone.
14. The couple who are really into being a team. They love stuff like trivia nights, softball teams and silly summer faux-lympics because it gives them a chance to show off how well they work together! These guys usually like throwing dinner parties, too, not that there's anything wrong with that.
15. The couple where one person is clearly more invested than the other. She keeps subtly dropping hints about how she's like to move across the country — without her girlfriend. Meanwhile, her girlfriend is picking out engagement rings.
16. The couple whose every move is documented via their social networking profiles. These two want the entire world to know how much they love each other. All the time. All up on your Facebook wall or in your Twitter feed. Get a room.

Characterised by dried prunes, wild cherries, as well as a blend of clove and cinnamon flavours it is tasty enough to be a meal on its own. It is also considered one of the Top 10 Pinotage's in South Africa. You can expect a bold-on-fruit wine with well-integrated plum and oak tannins.

text: Rachel Maddow discussed "Redmap," a Republican gerrymandering scheme that enabled them to hold the House even though, by their own admission, voters gave Democratic candidates 1.1 million more votes. Now Republicans in states under their control want to use the same Congressional district maps in order to rig the Electoral College. Under this strategy, Electoral College votes will no longer result in one state-wide victor; instead, states will be carved up into Electoral College voting districts that favor the GOP presidential candidate. Maddow rightly warns us, as she did in December, that this should not be a process that quietly moves forward into 2016. Watch:

In a five-year period from 1906-1911, 13,228 miners were killed in U.S. coal mines. As a result, the Bureau of Mines was established by Congress on July 1, 1910, "to make diligent investigation of the methods of mining, especially in relation to the safety of miners and the appliances best adapted to prevent accidents."
Over the years, Congress passed other legislation designed to promote health and safety in the mines, including the 1966 Federal Metal and Nonmetallic Mine Safety Act (P.L. 89-577) and the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-173). The most recent regulatory legislation combined the coal and metal and nonmetal industries under one law--the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. This act directed that "The National Mine Health and Safety Academy shall be...responsible for the training of mine safety and health inspectors, mining personnel, or other persons as the Secretaries of Labor and Interior shall designate. In performing this function, the Academy shall have the authority to enter into cooperative educational and training agreements with educational institutions, State governments, labor organizations, and mine operators and related industries." It is through the training provisions of this legislation that the National Mine Health and Safety Academy functions.
In response to the mandates of the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, on September 7, 1971, the Academy began inspector training in temporary facilities in Beckley, West Virginia. On August 17, 1976, the permanent facility, situated on 76 acres of land donated by the Raleigh County Airport Authority, opened its doors with an official dedication.
On July 25, 1979, Public Law 96-38 transferred the activities and functions of the National Mine Health and Safety Academy from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Labor.

Oil is lower again, a day after plunging more than 6 percent on fears that a slowing global economy will cut demand.
Benchmark oil fell 55 cents to $79.92 per barrel on Friday in New York. Brent crude rose 10 cents to $105.59 per barrel in London.
Investors are evaluating future demand for energy products after several discouraging reports this week about the slowing economy. They're also keeping an eye on Europe's ongoing debt crisis.
Meanwhile, AAA says gas prices at the pump are down nearly 2 cents to a national average of $3.54 per gallon. That's still about 83 cents more than a year ago.

As a small business owner, it is possible that you are having a hard time managing your payments. One alternative to doing it yourself is hiring a direct debit service to do it for you. They collect payments from your clients and pass them on to your bank on your behalf. You in turn pay them a small fee for their troubles. Direct debit comes with many advantages including the fact that they free you up for other things, they organize your cash flow and they are also secure. Here are some frequently asked questions about direct debits.
What is the difference between a direct debit and a standing order?
Many people are confused by these two terms. You shouldn't be. A direct debit is an instruction to a company to take money from your bank account to pay a creditor. A standing order, on the other hand, is an instruction to a bank to take money out of your bank and pay it to a creditor.
Why choose direct debit?
We have already mentioned some of the benefits of direct debits such as convenience. In addition to that, direct debits will help you save money I n the form of discounts – utility providers, for instance, usually give discounts to clients who pay using direct debits. In addition to that, should the bank pay more than they ought to they will refund you.
Are there any disadvantages?
There is one main disadvantage with direct debits – anyone who pays bills using direct money has to make sure that there is money in the account when direct debits are due. In other words, you have to watch your account closely at certain times of the month.
Who is allowed to use direct debits?
They are usually for people whop have a current account but some banks allow people who have basic accounts to use them. In addition to that, some credit cards and credit unions allow them. As for age, there are some banks that allow them to people over 18 while others allow them for people over 16.
How easy is it to set up a direct debit?
The companies have made it very easy these days to set up a direct debit account. All you need to do is go online and fill a form. The company will then send the instructions to your bank.
Do they cost me anything?
Yes, the direct debit company will charge you a small fee for processing your payment but your bank will not. That said, if you don't have enough money to cover the direct debit you bank can penalize you.
What if I have a problem?
The great thing with direct debits is that should the bank over-pay, they refund you.

Undergraduate Education
Transfer Credit
Transfer Credit ReportA transfer credit report is prepared prior to enrollment for every new undergraduate transfer student admitted to regular standing. To ensure complete evaluation of transfer courses, it is the student's responsibility to submit official transcripts from all post-secondary schools in which course work was completed. The purpose of the credit report is to acknowledge officially all transferable work toward the USC degree sought by the student. Total transferable units attempted and total transferable units accepted toward the degree are posted on the credit report.
For the purposes of making an admissions decision, all grades (including grades of D and below) are calculated into the grade point average and are used in calculating a total grade point average for graduation. Neither subject nor unit credit will be granted for courses that have been graded with less than a C- (1.7).
For limitations on use of transfer courses to fulfill general education and writing requirements see General Education Program.
Subject Credit and Degree CreditSubject credit does not carry unit value toward units required for a degree but may fulfill a required or elective subject area. Degree credit is defined as units that may be applied toward the units required for a USC degree.
Transfer Unit LimitationsA student may earn a maximum of 64 units of credit toward a bachelor's degree from other accredited institutions. The B.Arch. degree and the Engineering "3-2" Program allow a maximum of 80 units of transfer credit, of which a maximum of 70 may be from two-year colleges. Students will receive only subject credit for work completed in excess of the unit limitations.
Transfer Credit for Repeated Course WorkDegree credit will not be given for a transferred undergraduate course that a student has previously taken at USC. (This regulation does not apply to a USC course that a student withdraws from and then takes at another institution.)
Subject credit only will be given for a transferred undergraduate course previously taken at USC, under the following conditions: (1) When the student took the course at USC, he or she received a grade or mark which fails to meet departmental or university requirements. (2) The student obtained prior approval from the department offering the USC course on the USC transfer course work pre-approval form at www.usc.edu/transfercredit.
Permission to Register at Another Institution
Undergraduate Transfer Credit LimitationsAs defined in the Residence Requirement, once students enroll at USC, only courses taken during a summer semester will be considered for transfer credit. No transfer work may be used to satisfy any general education requirements or the writing requirement if those courses are taken after a student has enrolled at USC. In addition, transfer courses taken after enrollment at USC cannot be used to fulfill upper division requirements in the major or minor without prior approval, using the request for exception to residency form at www.usc.edu/articulation.
Students are advised to consult their major department or College Academic Services before taking college course work at another institution. Students should also consult the Degree Progress Department to ensure that the work will transfer.
ProcedureIf students wish to take summer course work elsewhere after admission to USC, they must first obtain appropriate pre-approval from the Degree Progress Department. Even if there is an articulation agreement, pre-approval is necessary to assure the student's eligibility. Visit www.usc.edu/transfercredit for the USC transfer course work pre-approval form.
Once the course work has been completed elsewhere, students must request the other institution to send an official transcript to USC so that the course work can be evaluated and transferred.
Students are required to provide transcripts of all course work attempted at any post-secondary institution, regardless of the type of course(s) or the quality of the work. A student's failure to provide transcripts for all course work attempted while away from USC may result in denial of transferred coursework and a charge of a violation of the university's academic integrity policies.
Students should request that a transcript be sent to the Degree Progress Department, JHH 010, 700 Child's Way, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0912. All transcripts must arrive in a sealed envelope from the issuing institution.
To avoid a possible delay in graduation, official transcripts from post-secondary institutions should be submitted as soon as the course work is completed and graded by the transfer institution. It is advisable to complete all transfer work prior to the final semester of enrollment at USC. If transcripts for transfer course work are not available during the final USC semester, it will likely delay degree posting and result in a later degree date.
Students who have questions concerning the transfer credit shown on the transfer credit report should inquire at the Degree Progress Department. Any questions regarding the applicability of previous course work toward major requirements should be referred to the student's academic advisor.
Leave of AbsenceInterruptions of enrollment can cause problems in the continuity of course work within a student's program. Therefore, leaves of absence are generally discouraged. A student who must interrupt studies for compelling reasons may request a leave for a stated period. Students who find it necessary to be excused from registration in fall or spring semesters should request a leave of absence and withdraw from their classes by the last day to drop or add courses. Students should contact their academic advisor, ask for a Leave of Absence Student Handbook and complete the Leave of Absence form in the back of the handbook (also available at www.usc.edu/loa). Completed forms should be submitted to the student's academic advisor for review and approval. If, as a result of the leave, the student exceeds the time limits for completion of degree or general education requirements, he or she may not be allowed automatically to continue to follow the original catalogue of enrollment. Students who fail to apply for a leave of absence may encounter difficulties with residence requirements and financial aid when returning to USC. A leave of absence does not exempt students from the residence requirement described below.
Program ReactivationStudents who have failed to attempt course work for at least one semester within an academic year without filing a Leave of Absence form will have their POST (Program of Study) expired. Returning undergraduates will be required to meet with their department advisor and complete and sign a POST Reactivation form before registration will be permitted. Graduate students who wish to return will be governed by applicable university policies, including the continuous enrollment requirement.
Residence RequirementA minimum of 64 units toward the bachelor's degree must be earned in residence at USC. A minimum of 80 units toward a bachelor's degree in Architecture must be earned in residence at USC. For students in Engineering's "3-2" Program, at least 48 units must be earned in residence at USC.
All upper-division units required for the major and minor must be earned in residence.
The major or minor department, on a case-by-case basis, may give credit for upper-division courses taken prior to matriculation and may pre-approve required upper- division courses to be taken out of residence.
Once students matriculate at USC, all courses taken for subject or unit credit in the fall and spring semesters must be taken in residence. Only transfer work that appears on the transfer institution's transcript for a summer term will be accepted.
In rare circumstances, exceptions to this fall and spring enrollment policy and approval to take specific courses out of residence may be granted in advance by the student's major department or, for undeclared students, by the Office of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences Dean of Academic Programs. If permission to take courses out of residence is granted, the major (or minor) department must pre-approve use of the courses for the major (or minor), and use of the course to fulfill any other requirements must be pre-approved following the usual approval process for transfer courses. Courses to be used as electives must be pre-approved by the closest equivalent department at USC. Any such approval must be conferred in writing and must follow the procedures outlined on the Request for Exception to Residence form.
Academically disqualified students must meet with an academic review counselor for advisement and forms for departmental preapproval rather than using the Request for Exception to Residency form.
After completion of 64 college-level units applicable to the undergraduate degree, no more than eight additional units may be allowed for transfer credit. In the case of the B.Arch. degree, no more than eight additional units may be allowed for transfer credit after completion of 84 college-level units.
Units earned in overseas studies programs approved by USC's Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and in courses approved by consortial or other institutional agreements are considered to be taken in residence.
Residence Requirement for a Second Bachelor's DegreeFor students with their first bachelor's degree from USC, 32 units applicable to the degree beyond the number of units required for the first USC bachelor's degree must be completed in residence.
For students with their first bachelor's degree from another institution, the second bachelor's degree requires 64 units applicable to the degree completed in residence, except for the B.Arch. degree which when earned concurrently with the M.Arch. degree requires 32 units applicable to the degree completed in residence.

Adnan Oktar: IT IS CLOSE AT HAND THAT THE BORDERS ARE REMOVED. Negotiations with Georgia and Armenia are carried forward and agreements are signed. So it is only a matter of time. IT IS LIKE THAT FOR SYRIA ALSO. IT MAY NOT TAKE EVEN ONE YEAR. Insha'Allah, masha'Allah.
Daily Kıbrıs Post, September 23-2008
Adnan Oktar: Of course, they are all dying for a union in that sense. For example, we have met with the Syrians. SYRIA IS NEARLY BEGGING FOR BEING A PROTECTORATE OF TURKEY. THEY WILL ACCEPT AT NO TIME. Iraq also… Iraq would be very pleased, if it is under the protection of Turkey. They would rejoice it. What does protection of Turkey mean? It means the end of bloodshed, mischief, war and the beginning of abundance, affluence and richness.

Uruguay again shapes as Socceroos' final hurdle
Page Tools
URUGUAY is well placed to take fifth place in the South American qualifying group and again become the barrier Australia must overcome to make the World Cup finals in Germany next year.
Uruguay, fielding a team containing several of the players who destroyed the Socceroos' dreams four years ago, ground out a 0-0 draw with Ecuador in Quito to move to 22 points in the South American group, which is, as in 2001, going down to the wire.
A victory in the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo on Thursday morning (Australian time) over arch-rival Argentina would result in Uruguay moving to 25 points and cementing fifth place in the group and the play-off position against Australia that goes with it.
Four years ago, Argentina also provided Uruguay's opposition in the last match of the South American qualifying tournament, and a Dario Silva goal was enough to give Los Celestes the 1-1 draw it needed to get through to the play-off against Australia, which Uruguay won 3-1 on aggregate.
If the Uruguayans slip up on Thursday, the door would be open for Colombia or Chile to snatch fifth place.
The two met in Barranquila, Colombia, at the weekend for a 1-1 draw.
Both countries now have 21 points, with Colombia having a much better goal difference of plus seven compared with Chile's minus four. Colombia now travels to Paraguay for its final game, knowing it must win and hoping Uruguay doesn't go through.
In Colombia's favour is that Paraguay, with a 1-0 win in Venezuela at the weekend, has made sure it has qualified as one of the top four South American countries alongside Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador, which also guaranteed participation in Germany after the draw with Uruguay.
Chile hosts Ecuador in Santiago and will be hoping its opponent, having qualified, will not be at full strength. If Uruguay and Colombia fail to win, and Chile triumphs, it will become Australia's opponent. If Uruguay loses or draws and both Colombia and Chile win, Colombia would progress.

Washington (AP) - They live in the shadow of the Capitol dome, but District of Columbia residents have never had what Americans in all 50 states do: A voting member of Congress.
Resentment over their long exclusion could soon fade as Congress moves closer to giving D.C. its first full seat in the House. The bill, which a sympathetic President Barack Obama has said he will sign into law, puts the city of 600,000 on the cusp of historic change - if it survives a court challenge.
"Having the vote, having representation, legitimizes us," LaJuan Young, 39, said as she ate breakfast at the Florida Avenue Grill near historic U Street. "It is a respect thing."
D.C. residents have been fighting for voting rights since 1801, when Congress took control of the newly created capital. It wasn't until 1964 that residents were able to cast presidential ballots, and it took nearly another decade for Congress to pass the Home Rule Act, allowing for the direct election of the mayor and other city officials.
Yet a full vote on Capitol Hill has been elusive. Although the district has elected a representative since the 1970s, that House delegate can only vote in committees.
Hopes for a true spot in the people's chamber soared this week when the Senate agreed to take up the bill that would expand the 435-member House by two seats.
The bill, nearly identical to one senators killed two years ago, would give the district a vote in the House beginning in January 2011. To offset the likely election of a Democrat, the bill also adds a fourth seat for Republican-leaning Utah, which narrowly missed out on an extra spot after the 2000 census.
It helps that D.C. has an ally in Obama, who has expressed an eagerness to be a part of the city and has been quick to visit popular neighborhood hangouts such as Ben's Chili Bowl. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty also was among the first to endorse Obama for president after he came out in support of voting rights.
"In many parts of D.C. you can look down the street and see the Capitol dome, and yet so many of these streets couldn't be more disconnected from our government," Obama said during a 2007 campaign appearance in the district.
The Senate could pass the bill within days if supporters can fend off hostile amendments designed to peel away support. In the House, which approved the bill two years ago, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said he expects a floor vote next week.
"We see all lights on go," said a beaming Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the city's nonvoting member of Congress who will have the right to vote if she wins re-election in 2010. "There can't be no turning back now."
The momentum for full voting rights has been building for years. In 2000, the city sought to educate the nation about its plight by introducing license plates that proclaimed "Taxation Without Representation."
Even with growing support, some senators and scholars have pointed out that Washington is a city and the U.S. Constitution says the House should consist of members chosen "by the people of the several states."
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley sympathizes with the plight of D.C. residents, but insists the measure is "flagrantly unconstitutional" and ultimately doomed.
"What these (lawmakers) are doing is extremely dangerous and destabilizing for our system of government," Turley said. "They are claiming the right to create a new type of voting member." The bill opens the door for Congress to give the vote to Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories, he said.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., a co-sponsor of the bill, counters that the district is often treated as a state when it comes to taxation and interstate commerce.
The city has a complicated and often contentious relationship with Congress, which approves its budget.
During a particularly low point for the cash-strapped city in the 1990s, lawmakers stripped then-Mayor Marion Barry and the council of essentially all control over top agencies and appointed a financial control board. "Democracy has been raped," Barry declared then.
For much of the past decade, however, district leaders have worked hard to improve D.C.'s relationship with Congress while also leading the city back to fiscal health, including 12 years of balanced budgets.
"This is a city performing as well or better than any other in America," D.C. Council chairman Vincent Gray said. Full equality, he said, "can't come soon enough."
Becoming a voting member of Congress also will not solve the numerous problems in a city that has some of the worst schools in the country and a high crime rate.
Still, many residents expressed relief that the city finally appeared to be on the verge of getting the vote.
Roman Gabriel said it's difficult for outsiders to understand the depth of frustration.
"There's been a long-standing feeling from residents of D.C. that nobody cares," said Gabriel, 36, who was raised in Washington and just returned after a decade. Having a vote will mean "a real feeling of belonging," he said.
Others were more skeptical.
"I don't trust Congress to do all the right things they should be doing," Douglas Sutcliffe, a sales manager for the Shakespeare Theatre Company, said this week as he took a smoke break on Capitol Hill. "I'm from the Show-me state of Missouri. I'll believe it when I see it."
Sipping coffee at the Big Bear Cafe in D.C.'s Eckington neighborhood, Ted McGinn said it would begin to ease the sense that D.C. residents are second-class citizens.
McGinn said he believes the lack of a vote for the city, which has been majority-black since the 1960s, stems in part from racism. McGinn, who is white, said the attitude from lawmakers seems to have been "We can't trust these people."
Associated Press writer Kamala Lane contributed to this story.

Hamilton Colloquium Series - Emilia Morosan, Rice University: "Exotic superconductivity at the itinerant-to-local moment crossover"
The conventional wisdom that magnetism and superconductivity are immiscible has been losing ground for more than 25 years, in favor of the concept of magnetism-mediated superconductivity. Not only are magnetic interactions required for electron pairing in the famous Cu oxides and the Fe pnictides, but they seem to be the key ingredient for high temperature superconductivity. In this talk, I will follow one of the emerging empirical strategies for design and discovery of novel superconductors: at the crossover between itinerant and local moment magnetism, such exotic, high Tc states have been unveiled. I will illustrate with examples some properties of itinerant magnets, and discuss the interplay of crystallographic and physical properties of two FeX compounds (X = pnictide or chalcogen) as design tools for novel, practical superconductors.

Uber app hails a Town Car for you
SAN FRANCISCO Tried finding a cab at rush hour in the rain lately? It's a soggy business, one that start-up Uber wants to fix with a GPS-enabled smartphone app that helps book and locate rides.
Backed by star Silicon Valley investors, Uber offers people with iPhones and Android-based phones an app that connects them to limo drivers of black Lincoln Town Cars. It's a fancier ride than your everyday cab, and the fare will hurt your wallet twice as much. But at least your money might stay dry.
Uber last week announced its launch in Palo Alto, current digs to Facebook, Apple CEO Steve Jobs and countless young tech companies. Uber hopes to be in 10 major cities by year's end, with New York City expected next.
In less than a year, Uber says the business has gained traction and provides "hundreds" of rides a day. Uber's app is a free download, but the company makes money by taking a 20% cut from the fares of limo drivers who participate.
"The service has just taken off," says Travis Kalanick, co-founder and CEO of Uber.
By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
Travis Kalanick, right, co-founder of Uber, and Yousef Barakat is one of the Uber drivers.
To use the service, people need only download the Uber app to an iPhone or Android phone and enter a credit card into its system. When customers want cabs, they simply open the app, confirm their address and get connected to the closest driver. In an unusual twist, the app gives the driver's name and phone number, providing customers the ability to call and help direct the car to the location. Plus, the driver's route will appear on the phone's Google Maps as the limo approaches.
Upon arrival at a destination, no tip is required because it's already built into the fare, and a receipt is sent by e-mail. Uber partners with local limo companies that work with the start-up to earn some extra business during down times.
The light-bulb moment for Uber came from Garrett Camp, the CEO and founder of social-networking site StumbleUpon, when he was in Paris in 2008 attending a conference.
"Live like a European diplomat, click a button on your iPhone and two minutes later have a great car show up, and a cashless transaction" was what came to mind, he said.
Benchmark Capital and a Who's Who list of prominent backers, including Napster founder Shawn Fanning and Lotus founder Mitch Kapor, among others, have invested $12.5 million in Uber.
Camp, who rarely drives, lives in San Francisco and has transportation options ranging from buses to municipal railway and BART. But they don't easily reach all points of the city. Camp says finding a cab on weekend nights in the city can be a nightmare.
He's not the only one attempting to capitalize on this idea. In San Francisco, two other apps have popped up to help get taxis. Cabulous is similar to Uber in that people can open the app to connect and show their location. There's also Taxi Magic, an app for booking ahead of time, available in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington and Dallas.
Uber resistance
Getting Uber, initially called Uber Cab, off the ground hasn't been smooth. Traditional cab companies and their regulatory agencies complained. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency sent a cease-and-desist letter in October, basically objecting to Uber's taxi-like service without the necessary licenses. Uber responded by taking the word "cab" out of its name.
The state Public Utilities Commission sent a similar letter, telling Uber to stop doing business because it didn't have the proper permit. The PUC says a meeting is scheduled with Uber to resolve differences.
Some argue San Francisco-based Uber provides a service that is a step in the right direction for the environment. Susan Shaheen, co-director of University of California-Berkeley's Innovative Mobility Research center, says that moving passengers from the steering wheel to the back of the car is a start. "If they were driving, they'd have to look for a parking space, and that means cycling around for quite a bit, which contributes to congestion," she says. "If this can take those cars off the road, that's great."
Lisa Bayne, who lives in San Francisco and works in Madison, Wis., uses Uber frequently. The high-priced alternative is worth it, she says. "If it's a rainy Saturday night, and I don't have to wait an hour for a cab, and get into a smoky, smelly cab that bounces up and down, I don't mind the extra expense at all."

Well, if one can't bring creationism into the public school science classroom then what's the next best thing? Why, bringing the science class to creationism of course!
Once again, as part of the never ending stream of atavism that flows from the contemporary, Bible-believing GOP, a state legislator is attempting to find a way to get public school students taught creationism.
Checkmated by multiple Federal court case rulings against introducing creationism into public school science classrooms, legislatures are fighting to find other methods to fight science (evolution.) One such legislator is Alabama state Representative Blaine Galliher (chair of the Alabama House Rules committee). He recently introduced into the Alabama legislature bill SB133.
