What the players' answer to the owners' last proposal will determine if that proposal really was progress … or if they're going to be stalemated for a while.

WASHINGTON — Two weeks into the launch of the federal health insurance exchange, the website is still plagued with problems, leading critics to wonder if the problem is worse than it appears.
There are two key issues at the core of the problem, said Dan Schuyler, a director at Leavitt Partners, a health care group by former Health and Human Services secretary Mike Leavitt. One is the volume, which HHS estimates at 14.6 million unique visitors, and the second is the platform's design.
The main problem, Schuyler said, could be "core fundamental design flow," but it's impossible to know because HHS is saying so little. "Only the contractors and HHS know that," he said.
They need to figure out the problem soon, Schuyler said, if the government is to meet its goal of 7 million new health customers signing up on the exchanges by March 31. "That's 39,000 enrolled a day, and we're not seeing anywhere near that volume," Schuyler said. "If they don't get it fixed within two or three weeks, we're going to have a backlog of consumers who won't be able to enroll."
HHS didn't have enough time to test its system for "one of the most complex IT platforms undertaken by the feds or the states," Schuyler said.
HHS did not respond to a request for information, and its website states that there are too many media requests now to answer all of them. However, at the end of the first two weeks, HHS issued a statement:
"We won't stop improving HealthCare.gov until its doors are wide open, and at the end of the six-month open enrollment, millions of Americans gain affordable coverage," said HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters.
President Obama criticized the problems in a Tuesday interview with KCCI, a Des Moines TV station. "I am the first to acknowledge that the website that was supposed to do this all in a seamless way has had way more glitches than I think are acceptable and we've got people working around the clock to do that," he told the Iowa station. "We've seen some significant progress but until it's 100% I'm not going to be satisfied."
Tuesday, Millward Brown Digital released an analysis showing that 36,000 of the 9.47 million people who visited the site the first week made it to the enrollment page at healthcare.gov, with the assumption that only a small percentage of the visitors were able to enroll. HHS has not released enrollment numbers. Millward Brown is an international market-research group.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is scheduled to make an announcement Wednesday morning at a speech in Cincinnati about the number of insurance applications the exchanges have received since Oct. 1.
Schuyler described the system as analogous to building a house. The core is the foundation, and the ancillary pieces are the windows and deck. If the problem is core, that would be similar to deciding that the ranch house the government already built needs a basement. If it's ancillary, they're just replacing single-pane windows with double-pane windows.
"This feels like a core issue," he said, "but I think we'll have a little bit more insight over the next two weeks."
He said he's concerned that the easy pieces of code — logging in and creating an account — shouldn't be causing a problem, and it worries him that the more complex areas, such as verifying identity, will also cause problems after the "upfront" problems are fixed.
Part of the problem with the federal exchange is that HHS had to wait until the states had all decided if they were going to have their exchanges before the federal government could build and test their program, said Mark Pauly, professor of health care management at the University of Pennsylvania.
As a member of the first Bush administration, Pauly helped develop the idea of the requirement for individuals to buy health insurance, which is the reason for the creation of the health care exchanges.
However, "I think the history of Medicare Part D is that people eventually figure out their problems, or they get fired and somebody else fixes their problem," Pauly said. "I'll state the obvious: It's going to take time."
They do have time, Pauly said, adding that if he were looking for insurance, he'd probably give the government some time before heading for the website.
HHS should focus on making the exchanges more shopper friendly, said Joel Ario, managing director at Manatt Health Solutions and former director of health insurance exchanges under Obama.
Now, shoppers want to see what plans are available and how much those plans will cost, and they need to be able to do that without creating an account — especially if people haven't been able to get past that step without being booted out of the system.
"I think the concerns are more talk among the careful observers," he said. "The consumers — it's more curiosity. They want to see what's available at this point."

support for gnome would be great.
support for gnome would be great.
Probably not going to happen anytime soon. This has been tried and was more trouble and broke more things that it was worth.
That is why I moved your post.
Also please use better thread titles in the future.
While I agree it would be nice, AA's point stands... it's a pain and it breaks alot. There were some previous guides on getting it to work but I think they went down when remote-exploit forums went down.
Given the nature of BT4, I doubt it'd be worth the time to try and implement. Being focused on professional pen testing, it's not really a priority to make it an everyday distro... more of a (excuse the American in me) "git r done" distro. Simple and powerful, but lacking customization. For example... the only account by default is "root"... for a while BT4 Beta was like that, BT4 pre-final briefly had you add another user when you used the ubiquity installer, and BT4 final removed that making root the only default option again. This practice would be a big no-no on a distro like ubuntu.... but since almost everything you do in BT4 needs root level privilages it would have been very unnecessary having to constantly type "sudo" before every single command.
TLDR; This isn't your every day distro. But if you're feeling ambitious try and find one of the older guides of getting Gnome on BT4 Beta... atleast I think it was on the beta.
Good luck!

to further add to snowman and archangel's posts, backtrack was never intended to be a desktop distro, as far as i can tell from how they built the system over the years. and as such, should only be used as a livecd distro. just imagine how insecure this would be if it actually was intended for home and office use!
the installer was (as far as i can tell) only included as a 'convenience' for the professionals who actually have laptops dedicated to pentesting and can't be bothered to bring a disc with them everywhere they go.
if you want a desktop os that you can still crack wep with (i am _not_ condoning illegal activities here), my suggestion is to get yourself a shiny copy of the ubuntu 9.10 iso, install it, and then run apt-get install aircrack-ng. although some tools will break a gnome install, you could still take at least some from the backtrack iso.

We like KDE and that's really about it. We may add support for other desktops WAY in the future but currently we will be staying with KDE. Is there any reason you think Gnome is better than KDE? i.e. What can it do for security and pentesting that KDE cannot?

i think KDE is better.... we just thanked to what being preserved....

Ananta Chaturdasi is believed to be the day when Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Anantapadmanabha – the Ananta Sayana form of Lord Vishnu – reclining on Ananta. In 2017, the date of Ananta Chaturdasi is September 5. Ananta Chaturdashi is also the last day of the 12-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
Also known as Anandapadmanabha Vrata or Ananta Vrata, it falls on the fourteenth day after the new moon in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada.
In the Mahabharata, Shri Krishna advises Yudhishtara to observe Ananta Vrata for 14 years to get back his lost kingdom. A fast is observed from sunrise to sunset by Lord Vishnu devotees.
Special pujas are offered in temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Ananta Dharam a sacred thread of 14 knots is tied on hands after puja by devotees.
Today, Ananta Chaturdasi is popular with several devotees as the last day of Vinayaka Chaurthi festival – the day to perform the Ganesh Visarjan.
More details about Ananta Chaturdasi can be found in this post.

For years, motorists have been told that drugs and driving don't mix. This woman missed the memo.
The 29-year-old from Melton was driving an unregistered and unroadworthy Holden Calais on a suspended licence.
But police were staggered to discover when they pulled her over on Wurundjeri Way, Docklands, on Wednesday that she also had a baby in the back seat.
The woman also returned a positive drug test, police said.
She was just one of 22,000 similarly stupid drivers caught in a six-week Victoria Police operation targeting roads deemed to be high-risk.
Police say that while there was a record low number of fatalities in January, the first few weeks of February were proving the opposite.
In just over two weeks, 18 people have died on the state's roads.
Assistant commissioner Robert Hill said the community needed to work together to end the deaths.
"If you break the law and run risks on the road, we will stop you before someone gets hurt," he said.
"We can't afford to lose any more loved ones on our roads so we need the community to come together and put a stop to the bloodshed."
During the operation, police detected 4800 traffic and criminal offences, 502 people using their mobile phones, more than 1400 speeding drivers and 236 people were caught not wearing a seatbelt.
The 29-year-old Melton woman was charged on summons and her male passenger, the car's owner, was given an infringement notice.

I have been looking for the ideal lyrical piece for festival that my group could play this spring. The problem is that I have MANY talented percussionists that I hate to bore/ignore during this preparation time. Please help! Its a middle school band with quite nice instrumentation (except too many talented/wild percussionists). Thanks
What's a GREAT Grade 2 lyrical festival piece?

I am not sure of the percussion demands on these tunes but two nice lyrical works for this level are:
Hearland Heritage
Childhood Hymn

Another tune that you may find useful in the grade II level that works with percussion and with some lyrical components is "Beyond the Seven Hills"
#4 Guest_Jon Fulkerson_*
Posted 17 February 2005 - 03:28 PM
Check out "Pinnacle" by Rob Grice. It's available on pepper or through Grand Mesa directly. It's about a grade 2 (although Texas called it a grade 1.) You'll certainly find that it is a challenge for all percussion involved.
#5 Guest_Kathy Azari_*
Posted 27 February 2005 - 09:47 AM
Thanks for the replies! I'm already playing Zeal by Rob Grice so Pinnacle is out...but I really think Beyond the Seven Hills is the Ticket!!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 18 November 2006 - 06:23 PM
In the Shining of the Stars by Robert Sheldon is nice.
#7 Guest_Brad_*
Posted 16 January 2007 - 11:23 AM
In The Shining of the Stars would be my first suggestion. Also, you may want to check out Canticum by Curnow. It's not very hard and has a great lyrical section in the middle. The percussion parts are very easy but still involved enough to keep them busy.
Posted 23 February 2007 - 08:15 AM
I would also check out "Country Wildflowers"-Daehn or a little easier "Song for Friends" -Daehn

Great percussion parts involving many different instruments. Amazing lyrical lines.

i would never buy from a dealer they are always over priced. if it help i have just brought a 2008 mondeo titanium X 40.000 miles with all the trimmings heated seats electric seats and i even got the touch screen sat nav ( £1800 extra ) and it only cost me £7000 from bca auctions. if you have the ready cash to hand and not looking at finance i would recommend buying a car from a big auction compnay that take the fleet cars like bca or manhiem auctions.

All Aboard the Hogwarts ExpressLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
On the Hogwarts Express, the conductor completely screwed up and lost his seating notes! However, he has managed to get his hands on the following clues. Can you help him solve the clues and seat everyone in their proper place?
The Hogwarts Express has two different rows. Each row has two compartments. Each compartment has two rows of seats, and each row in the compartment can hold three people. In this case, there is a left compartment and a right compartment, like the following:
Left (corridor) Right
1) Harry is sitting across from Neville.
2) Neville is in the left compartment.
3) Ginny is sitting next to Neville, Luna, or both.
4) Hermione, who is sitting completely diagonal from Neville, is next to either Harry, Ron, or both.
5) Malfoy cannot be in the left compartment.
6) Ron is sitting between Harry and Hermione.
7) Luna is sitting diagonally from Harry.
8) Malfoy is sitting next to Parkinson or Crabbe.
9) Zabini is sitting opposite Nott.
10) Crabbe and Goyle are sitting together next to one other person.
11) Nott is diagonal from Parkinson.
12) Harry must get a window seat.
13) Hermione is in the aisle across the row from Malfoy.
14) Crabbe is in the aisle across the row from Luna.
15) Harry is closer to the front of the train.
Note about the clues: Diagonal can mean completely diagonal (across, over 2) or it can mean slightly diagonal (across, over 1).
AnswerHarry, Ron, Hermione | Malfoy, Parkinson, Zabini
Neville, Ginny, Luna | Crabbe, Goyle, Nott

Micron Announces 16nm 128Gb MLC NAND, SSDs in 2014by Anand Lal Shimpi on 7/16/2013 5:58 PM EST

Back to Article
TridentTrinity - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkWait a minute. Is it really 16 nm or is it one of those "1Xnm class" marketing type things with a FEOL of 16 nm and BEOL of 20 nm etc? I wonder if that is another reason they aren't mentioning size etc. Once real products are in the market it won't be long before Chipworks/UBM do their magic and reveal the data.
I'm guessing the lithography for Flash products is at a different timescale/node because otherwise I haven't heard of anyone shipping digital logic devices at anything below Intel's 22nm now. Reply
Spunjji - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkThe lithography for flash is indeed different, and they're not shipping, just sampling. Reply
iwod - Tuesday, July 16, 2013 - linkLots of SSD/NAND Questions
It looks like 16nm will mainly be a cost drive down node then. Sell things for the same price and better margins. We will have to wait for node to mature a bit more before we see 256Gbit NAND in 2014. 10nm 512Gbit in 2015/2016.
Will NAND be on 400mm Wafers? Or would be cost of switching not justify because of the lower margin from NAND.
TLC doesn't bring much cost reduction while bringing a lot of compromise to performance and Erase Cycles. Whats the future for that? Will we see even QLC ( Quad Bit ) or even TSV like NAND where the NAND are stacked up together?
Why has Apple decided to use PCI-Express 2x instead of 4x for their Mac? Any ideas or technical reasons behind it? While Samsung manage to do the same package with PCI-E 4x.
What new SSD Controller coming soon? Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - link"We will have to wait for node to mature a bit more before we see 256Gbit NAND in 2014. 10nm 512Gbit in 2015/2016."
As long as they don't increase the interface bandwidth larger NAND dies reduce performance (fewer dies to hit a given capacity) while driving the cost for a given capacity down slightly. If you're aiming for a minimum performance target (i.e. "all channels occupied with 1 die") cost actually increases substantially, since you have to buy double the capacity!
"Will NAND be on 400mm Wafers?"
They'll move to 450 mm wafers when building new fabs at some pointin the next few years.. but don't expect any miracles.
"TLC doesn't bring much cost reduction"
Well, from my point of view the Samsung 840 is easily the best value today, and by quite some margin, unless you're expecting a heavy write load (most people should not).
"Whats the future for that? Will we see even QLC ( Quad Bit ) or even TSV like NAND where the NAND are stacked up together?"
I guess Samsung will tell us in due time. If their next mainstream SSD doesn't use TLC then that's an answer ;) QLC will surely remain reserved for memory cards etc. TSV probably doesn't help much in terms of cost savings compared to the current solution of packaging several dies together. TSV could surely make the package smaller, though.
"Why has Apple decided to use PCI-Express 2x instead of 4x for their Mac?"
Maybe their controller and NAND are not bottlenecked at 2x yet? Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - link"Why has Apple decided to use PCI-Express 2x instead of 4x for their Mac? Any ideas or technical reasons behind it? While Samsung manage to do the same package with PCI-E 4x."
Product line consistency, and the limited number of pcie lanes in haswell mobile? The 15W parts only have a dozen 2.0 lanes (16 3.0 for the 28W parts); and IIRC the forthcoming 7/10W ones are only 6 or 8. With thunderbolt needing a few lanes, 802.11ac needing more than one to avoid bottle necking, that doesn't leave many lanes available for anything else. Reply
overseer - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - linkWould be nice if you also give typical "$ per GB" numbers in the NAND table. Reply
Minion4Hire - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - linkSo the latest and greatest NAND has to erase 8MBs worth of pages at one time? As this keeps going up won't that adversely affect write amplification? Reply
sleepeeg3 - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - link8MB of pages and 3,000 write cycles? At one time it was 512kb and 10,000 write cycles… Have not read any recent articles on this issue, but this has to be having a serious effect on reliability and longevity… What is the current status on this? Reply
jimhsu - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - linkFrom my understanding, better write-caching algorithms and much, much larger caches (who would have thought that SSDs ship with GB-worth of memory these days, 5 years ago?) largely mitigate this problem, except in certain pathological cases. That said in typical (desktop-oriented) uses, SSDs still last much longer than the average service life of the computer they're used in. THe enterprise market is totally different, and much more expensive. Reply
iwod - Wednesday, July 17, 2013 - linkArhaha... Thx. I didn't know the Lower Power Part Haswell has less PCI-E 3.0 lanes and Thunderport has already taken up most of those. Reply

Library to host West Nile virus information sessions
Updated 12:12 am, Friday, August 31, 2012
As of Thursday, San Antonio has seen nine cases of West Nile virus, two of them fatal, and a couple of information sessions are scheduled for the public.
In Brownsville, meanwhile, health officials urged residents to take caution after a mosquito trap sample tested positive for the virus.
While no human cases have been confirmed in that city or deep South Texas, "local doctors and other medical officials have been made aware to be on the lookout for symptoms related to the disease," Brownsville Public Health Director Arturo Rodriguez said.
He said city crews would continue spraying to keep the mosquito population down. Residents were advised to wear insect repellent when outdoors, drain standing water, shut screens, doors, and windows, and wear long sleeves and pants at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.
To answer questions about the illness, the San Antonio Public Library and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service will sponsor two West Nile virus information sessions in September.
The events will be at the Central Library Auditorium, 600 Soledad St., Thursday from noon to 1:30 p.m. and Sept. 13 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
News Channel
A board-certified entomologist will discuss protective measures and what to do if the virus has been contracted.
Seating is limited. To register, call 210-207-2500 or go online to mysapl.org.

The free hands-on activities will be delivered by the cathedral's education department on Tuesday, February 18 from 10.30am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 4pm.
Families can make clay gargoyles to take away inspired by some of the uglier stone carvings in the cathedral or help create a large flower collage, with donations invited to cover the cost of materials.
From Saturday, February 15 to Saturday, February 22, there will be safari trail around the church so children can hire a safari back pack containing binoculars to spy on the different animals or fruit and flowers.
The cathedral's assistant education officer, Sara Hayward, said: "The trails are designed to introduce children to different aspects of the cathedral and make them aware of aspects they may otherwise not have noticed.
"We have a pink giraffe here and also pomegranates to find. They are easy to follow and include opportunities to draw as well as word puzzles and jokes."

Selecting Apartments Effectively
A home is the foundation of everyone who dwells there. Many things can happen at your home. It is one of the primary needs of the family. You and your home are interchangeably connecting to each other. You home's appearance reflects your personality, and your character is being developed in the house where you dwell.
People who are urgently looking for houses sometimes are deciding quickly. It leads them to regret the choice they selected. Yes, apartments are suitable for those who need to relocate immediately but think that apartments are not all perfect to be convenient for all people. You have to consider major things when selecting the right apartment for you. You will still be going to live there even if in a short period. Select the best for you to save money and efforts.
First, think about the purpose why you are relocating and how long you will be staying in that apartment. If you are relocating because will stay there temporarily until your house is done, do not spend lots of money out of your pocket. See rooms in non-commercial areas and those with fewer amenities but can accommodate the number of people who will stay. If you are looking for an apartment because you are just on vacation or doing any project within that particular area, choose the one nearest to your subject location with comfortable surroundings. Don't let that apartment ruin your mood, this might affect your performance. If you are looking for an apartment to stay in there for a long period such as you have a job, choose an apartment near the establishment you are working and also, look for secure one. You might be out of your apartment for a long time since you have a job, so better considers the security of your things.
You have to check if the transportation if it is easy, check if not only you are a tenant there if so, the better question yourself why. In addition, check for the emergency exits of the building. If the building is too high, check the foundation, elevation, or floor plan of it. Finally, think and imagine in advance if you would be comfortable with living there. If you are looking for an apartment with complete amenities such as swimming pool, sauna, laundry, and utilities, expect for a high cost especially when it is private and within the commercial area. In apartments in Stockbridge, Georgia, those qualities are non-questionable. Do not choose an apartment with Wi-Fi and cable if you do not have such things or gadgets to use it, it would just charge you more without having been able to use it.
After you considered all those, estimate if the price offered is reasonable. Remember, quality beats quantity. After you had imagined life there and that is already enough, go for the price. Talk politely to the landlady or the landlord to have negotiations for the price. Do not hesitate to bid for the price if you think that it is still high. Some landladies and landlords are offering negotiable price as long as the tenant is a good player.

Expanding Your Horizon with a New Lease on Life
A Christian View for Beheading Your Goliaths
de Dr. C.A. Yopp
Acerca del libro
We live in a quick-fix, I want it without the sacrifices, society. Too many people in this society seem to fail to realize that the quick fixes are actually just cover-ups, not fixes at all. Until God is the center of your life, your life will remain just a cover-up of fear, pain, anger, lack of self-esteem, spiritual death, and all other "Goliaths" you suffer from.
This is a compilation of a few essays the author has written over the past four years; each dealing with certain giants life's journey presents---marital issues, sexual abuse, child rearing, inability to forgive, et cetera. Although the topics highlighted in this book are not all inclusive of the challenges, trials, and tribulations we endure, they are ones the author feels a great need to highlight as a result of personal experiences and the enjoining of the Holy Spirit. It is the author's intent to offer a Christian perspective to handling the problems and situations that seem to be giants (Goliaths) in your life.

Picking up a assault rifle or carbine rifle in GTA IV will raise ammunition for 30 rounds.
After collecting the carbine rifle in the abandoned warehouse in Lompoc Avenue in Bohan Industrial for the second occasion this will change: From now on you'll get 80 rounds everytime you swap the gun in this weapon slot from carbine rifle to assault rifle and reverse. This works everywhere in the original game and both addons and is quite useful for Niko as he has to wait a long time until he can buy this equipment.
As to whether or not this glitch was deliberate or not from the developers is unknown.

Cancer Genetics
Lynch Syndrome and Brain Cancer
How common is Brain Cancer for someone with Lynch Syndrome? I have had colon cancer (age 23) and renal cell (age 45). Genetic testing was positive for MLh1 mutation.
You ask a challenging question; in trying to find an answer to your question, there were only 3-4 studies that clearly reported on this information. It appears that the lifetime risk to develop brain cancer in Lynch syndrome, or HNPCC (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer susceptibilty) is on the order of 2-5%. This may be an over-estimation, as a number of studies did not report finding brain cancers in their study populations. For more detailed information, you should contact the genetic counselor you worked with when you had testing; if you did not work with a genetic counselor, it would be a good idea to find a genetic counselor near where you live. I have attached a website for the National Societ of Genetic Counselors. This should help you find a genetic counselor.
As background information, Lynch syndrome, or HNPCC, is one of the colon cancer susceptibility syndromes. It is caused by mutations in a class of genes called the "mismatch repair genes." The three mismatch repair genes that account for most of the families with HNPCC are called "MLH1", "MSH2" and MSH6." There are at least three other genes that are included in this class of genes, but they appear to be responsible for only a small proportion of hereditary colon cancer.
Having a mutation in one of these genes increases one's chance of developing a number of cancers, but predominantly colon cancer, uterine or endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and cancers of the genitouriary tract. The exact cancer risk varies between genes. Individuals who are found to have HNPCC, or those who have family members with HNPCC should begin colon cancer screening in their early 20s, and they should have colonoscopies every 1-2 years. Women with HNPCC should also have regular screening for uterine cancer and ovarian cancer beginning in their 30s, or should consider having their ovaries and uterus removed once they finish having children.
As with most hereditary cancer syndromes, HNPCC is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner; this means that each child of an individual with HNPCC will have 50% chance of inheriting the susceptibilty from their parent, and will have a substantially increased risk for colon and other cancers. They will need to begin cancer screening substantially earlier than the average man or woman will. If a child does not inherit the HNPCC mutation, they will not be at substantially increased risk to develop cancer. They will still have the same cancer risk as the average man or woman.
For additional information about HNPCC you can visit the website for National Cancer Institutes. The website is listed below.

Geological GroupsThese brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
Find the odd one out in each of the following:
a) fjords, stacks, tombolos, waterfalls
b) sea arches, bays, headlands, valleys
c) basalt, granite, obsidian, pumice
d) Hawaiian Islands, Ryukyu Islands, Marianas Islands, Aleutian Islands
Hinta) Think about the four processes of denudation.
b) Think about the nature of the rocks in these landforms.
c) Where were these rocks formed?
d Where are these islands found?
Answera) Tombolos. Tombolos are depositional landforms; the rest are erosional landforms. Fjords are formed by glacial erosion, stacks by wave erosion and waterfalls by fluvial erosion.
b) Headlands. Headlands are made of resistant rocks and are less vulnerable to erosion, which is why they stand out from the neighbouring bays. The other three, being less resistant, have been eroded more.
c) Granite. Although all four are igneous rocks, granite is the only plutonic rock. The other three are volcanic rocks.
d) Hawaiian Islands. They are the only island chain formed in the middle of a plate. The location of the hot spot in the asthenosphere is fixed while the Pacific Plate moves northwest. This carries old volcanoes away and creates new volcanoes, forming the chain. The other three island chains were created along destructive plate boundaries.

There are many blunders that can come with sudden wealth, but the aftermath of the largest single payout in the Mega Millions jackpot illustrates one of the biggest screw-ups lottery winners make: not safeguarding the ticket.
It may seem an obvious precaution, but in April, a 37-year-old woman came forward, claiming to be one of the three winners of the record $656 million Mega Millions payout, but was unable to produce the ticket. Sorry, no dice. The ticket has to be present for you to win. Let's look at a few other examples of what lottery winners do wrong, provided by Frank Fantozzi, CEO of Planned Financial Services, and published in Investment News.
They change their lifestyle too much. Rocketing yourself into the stratosphere of the uber-rich may seem fun for a while, but you may later regret losing touch with the common folk who used to be your friends and family.
They don't have a financial plan. Having a road map is essential. Otherwise, it's too easy to spend as if you have a bottomless pit. You don't. It's a good reason lottery winners don't come forward immediately; they're developing a financial strategy first.
They think they're getting all the money. Up to 50 percent will go toward taxes, so before commissioning the yacht, make sure you know how much you really have.
They don't get professional advice. Attorneys and accountants can save you a lot in taxes and help you design a plan that will not leave you wondering where all the money went after a few years.
They don't follow their own instincts. This may sound counterintuitive to getting professional advice, but it's not. People will come out of the woodwork to offer help, so make sure you choose wisely and find a team that is prudent with an immediate plan as well as one for the long term.
They make stupid investments. See the tip above: Everyone will have a "hot" investment tip. Don't fall for it.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Mayor Alvin Brown on Monday announced legislation to help restore city services that were cut during the last budget process.
He said his goal is to make an immediate impact on economic development and quality of life.
The legislation will provide about $660,000 to increase the frequency of mowing city right-of-ways, $300,000 to reactivate streetlights in industrial and commercial areas, and nearly $90,000 to help Jacksonville Sheriff's Office employees with job-related educational expenses. The legislation will also provide a nearly $500,000 boost to economic development in Northwest Jacksonville and near Jacksonville International Airport.
"In last year's challenging fiscal environment, I worked with City Council to close a nearly $80 million deficit without increasing taxes," Brown said in a news release. "We had to make difficult choices to balance the budget, and at times those choices impacted services. I am pleased that we now have the ability to make some of these investments in our economic future and quality of life."
Earlier, the Brown Administration introduced the legislation to use funds remaining in a former Jacksonville Economic Development Commission account and local matching funds set aside for unrealized Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) grants to provide additional funding to right-of-way mowing and park maintenance and cover the lapse in the budget, according to the news release.
Following the end of the last fiscal year on Sept. 30, the City Finance Department embarked on its annual financial review and determined that the city had additional unspent funds from the previous fiscal year, according to the release. Based on those findings, the Brown Administration proposes to amend the legislation and make the following investments:
- $660,000 to increase the frequency of maintaining city right-of-ways.
- $300,000 for streetlight activation to restore the lighting-related cutbacks in last year's budget. The city will work with JEA and commercial property owners to explore whether LED lighting would be appropriate to replace the more expensive photo cell bulbs.
- $89,500 to help Fraternal Order of Police employees in the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office with job-related educational expenses. The city's contract with the Fraternal Order of Police provides that the city contribute $60,000 to educational reimbursements for JSO employees. That required funding has been exhausted and this investment would allow additional JSO employees to receive educational reimbursement.
Additionally, the Brown Administration is seeking to allow two economic development zones to keep funds that were unspent at the end of the last fiscal year:
- $430,000 for the Soutel/King Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), an economic zone in Northwest Jacksonville focused on housing, retail and commercial development.
- $67,000 for the JIA CRA, an economic zone near the Jacksonville International Airport focused on increasing employment and recruiting businesses.

"Clear and sweet is my soul, and clear and sweet is all that is not my soul … and such as it is to be of these more or less I am, and of these one and all I weave the song of myself." Walt Whitman.
I used to brag that I've seen Slayer seven times. When I would hear of another member in the know of brutal rumblings coming from the stage of an army-laden amphitheatre, I would tune into their language to gauge what form of fan they were to the tunes I had found such rhythm in. I would ask a few simple questions relating to specific entities of carnal sound and continue forward systematically depending on their answers. If they knew a tune or two I required as part of the example being made, they were welcomed. If they knew many, they were designated a seat at my feast.
My roommate at Arizona State University gave me a new set of ears. This fresh duo of drums did not require an animalistic thrash of a restless tempo, but rather a sway into the tranquility of sound. I slowed down and began to hear what I had once sworn against simply for its lack of radical notion during my initial take when combining pace with perceptivity.
In the sense that my ears found fire instantaneous many times during the origin of my descent into the listen, I was now of the practice of adding one log at a time, feeding the flame that needed no inferno, but the warmth of each and every shoot that leaped off the body of the lava lacking flow, and into the invisibility of soulful recognition.
I smiled as I sat at my desk the other evening, an example being made of the words enveloped within this current form of explanation. A string of songs came onto the radio application that accompanies my phone, and a gold mine was struck. These songs were of simple sounds, beats with the personality to walk any street in town, to lie down in the middle of the road in the off chance there would be untold stories in the stars, a feat only seen from an original seat in the theater.
I no longer cling to the story that began this article with the ferocity of tongue that I once did, but my pride still resides within. I've been reading some words wondrously manipulated by Walt Whitman lately, and his language is of an angle that I've never seen before — but only felt deep inside on a thought-by-thought basis. I glimpse his take on life as if it is defined by nothing and everything simultaneously. He speaks of every moment with equality, as if one has no zest without the rest, and of each experience as if it were the greatest he ever had because it was plain as day, every view through the eyes simply a disciple of vision in its depiction of image, currently absolute.
I realized my own hypocrisy after many years of unnecessary critique. I used to quote blasphemy whenever a statement discredited my musical interests, and harshly circumvent any positive conclusion toward notes I found to sound of bad taste. In my most recent years of actually listening instead of waiting for presumably useless noise to conclude, I have heard songs that birds were born to utter, that a mother might sing to her young.
I have never hung to a crumbling string, for the twines which bind my kind have always been of radical solidity, be that only my opinion, but I failed to realize there were many shoots in the jungle to swing from. I've learned to open my feet to wherever the road is leading me, and as Whitman so eloquently states, I'm now "adorning myself to bestow myself on the first day that will take me."
The ears I hear with are of no use to anyone but me, and the sounds that come streaming down from the clouds scream of souls that wear a smile, regardless of their appearance to the eye. I compare the gently trickling tickle when I hear about a boy with a coin in an Iron and Wine song to the raw pulsation that rattled my bones when I was creatively convulsing above a concrete slab with a hundred dark knights surrounding, as we smashed with class into each other during three minutes of auditory electricity and voices made of metal. I am no better than the person that swears against any of the bands of which I'm a fan, but I've become a better person because of each and every listen I've enlisted within.
Music is the soothe; it is the juice; it's in the roots, regardless of where the dial is tuned. Be not a judge of my song, but simply let it play for ... I ever long to hear your sound waves swaying in whichever way they may.
