SACRAMENTO, July 17 (UPI) -- The United States has settled a suit against a logging company for $122.5 million in money and land over California's Moonlight Fire.
The forest fire was among the most devastating in California history, the U.S. Justice Department said. Besides old growth trees destroyed, the fire also destroyed thousands of acres of critical habitat reserved for sensitive species, including the California spotted owl, the northern goshawk and the American martin.
The Moonlight Fire began Sept. 3, 2007, on private land in Plumas County, Calif., and blazed for more than two weeks, the U.S. Justice Department said. The fire eventually consumed about 65,000 acres of land, more than 46,000 public lands in the Plumas and Lassen National Forests.
The Moonlight Fire was the result of logging operations by industry giant Sierra Pacific Industries and its contractor, the department alleged in a statement. Two employees operated bulldozers in a remote area on a "red flag warning" day -- high fire danger weather declared by the National Weather Service.
The employees were unsupervised, and the fire ignited when the track or blade of one of the bulldozers struck a rock and created sparks that ignited the surrounding dry ground fuels, the department said.
The fire went undetected for some time, the department said, because the employees did not conduct their company-required fire patrol after shutdown. The department said the designated fire watch employee left and drove 30 minutes away to get a soda. When he returned over an hour later, the fire was obvious, but the employee had no means of reporting it.
The logging company denies liability for the fire.
A jury trial in the department's suit was scheduled to begin on July 9 in Sacramento before the settlement of $55 million in cash and the conveyance of 22,500 acres of land in California owned by Sierra Pacific.

Agri-Pinoy is the strategic framework for all functions and programs of the Department of Agriculture. A set of principles and practices for the optimum development of Philippine resources, natural and human, to meet Philippine goals in agriculture and fisheries. These four guiding principles are:
1) Food security and self-sufficiency
2) Sustainable agriculture and fisheries
3) Natural resource management
4) Local development.
1. Food security and self-sufficiency
· Accessible, affordable, safe and nutritious food (especially staple food) for all Filipinos.
· "Sapat, ligtas at abot-kayang pagkain para sa lahat ng Pilipino".
· Minimize our dependence on food imports.
2. Sustainable agriculture and fisheries
· Consider the limited carrying capacity of our natural resources while increasing the
capabilities of our human resources.
· Sustainability is both ecological and economic.
3. Natural resource management
· Manage our natural resource endowments and "optimize" their development, to enhance their
competitive advantage while insuring that they are not exhausted.
4. Local development
· Agriculture and fisheries are site specific.
· Agri-fisheries development should be integrated into local development plans, using an eco-system framework of governance and development.
Pursue the Rice Self-Sufficiency Program
Key Strategies:
· Expand areas planted with high yielding variety seeds coupled with location-specific interventions (ordinary
seeds →quality seeds; hybrid)
· Generate new, rehabilitate and restore existing irrigation areas;
· Provide postharvest facilities;
· Construct and rehabilitate more farm-to-market roads; and
· Implement NFA reforms
Key Strategies:
· Improvement of genetic materials
· Disease prevention, control and eradication
· Establishment of meat centers (w/ slaughterhouse, cutting floor, cold storage, and processing/packaging plant)
Key Strategies:
· Provision of open-pollinated variety as support to white corn
· Provision of planting materials for cassava as corn substitute
· Farm mechanization
· Provision of postharvest facilities
High Value Commercial Crop
Key Strategies:
· Provision of quality seeds and planting materials
· Construction of production, postharvest facilities and trading centers
· Intensify extension services
Key Strategies:
· Maintenance and operation of existing mariculture parks
· Establishment of seaweed nurseries
· Provision of training and technical assistance
· Establishment of multi-species hatcheries
· Implementation of Coastal Resource Management projects
· Ensure compliance with global food safety standards
· Pursue bilateral talks with neighboring coastal states for fishing access
· Actively participate in the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI)
Rationalize government support & investments on the following priorities:
Irrigation Farm-to-market roads
Fish ports Postharvest facilities
Trading Centers Research and development
Extension services Regulatory and quarantine services
High-quality genetic materials
· Risk Assessment and Disaster Management
· Quality Infrastructure
· Investment in Technology Development and Extension:
· Development of crops, livestock, and fish varieties that are able to adapt to the changing environment
· Weather-based insurance
· Strengthen and modernize data collection
· Intensify IEC efforts to all stakeholders
The shift to organic farming shall be encouraged, however, the right of choice of farmers to adopt different production systems shall be respected.
· Commercial establishment of Modified Rapid Composting Production Farms;
· Establishment of community-based composting facilities;
· Advocacy and training, publication, and promotion;
· Subsidy for certification of organic products and organic farms; and
· Administrative support to the National Organic Agricultural Board.
The three principal rural development agencies, DA, DAR and DENR, have agreed to take the Convergence Initiative to a higher level. There will be harmonization of our support services at the field level that would result to the elimination of wasteful duplication, better quality of service and wider coverage. This will substantially increase the real presence of government in the rural areas.

No smoking gun. No eye-popping scandal. Instead, it appears that the former president of the University of North Texas was locked in a power struggle with the chancellor of the UNT System over details of running the university.
Thousands of documents released Thursday afternoon show Gretchen Bataille and System Chancellor Lee Jackson disagreed on how much to raise tuition, whether to consolidate some campus technology and human resource departments, and the future of downtown Dallas classroom facilities.
The mystery of what drove off Bataille, who was popular with faculty and students, has remained as neither Bataille nor Jackson would say what finally ended their working relationship when she abruptly resigned last month.
The documents, obtained through an open-records request, show ongoing strife over several issues but do not reveal a thunderbolt moment that explains the sudden departure.
In an interview Thursday, Bataille said the reasons for what she described as a forced resignation are just as vague to her.
"I resigned, but I don't know what issues there were that caused the actions that happened," Bataille said. "It really is the chancellor that needs to answer that."
Jackson was unavailable for comment Thursday, but in a statement he said the documents "make clear that there were serious business conflicts and operating disagreements."
"These issues escalated throughout 2009, and they were not minor issues of courtesy, communications, or personality. Instead, they affected the most important operating aspects of our organization: our budgets, efforts to save money through technology, planning and review of proposed new facilities, and the tuition paid by our students. "
Bataille challenged Jackson to cite specific examples where she was defiant or did not provide him information.
"Communication is a two-way street and it takes two people to communicate," she said.
Bataille has said she was not aware her job was at stake until a meeting Feb. 7 with Jackson to discuss an upcoming Board of Regents meeting. In an e-mail two days earlier, Bataille offered to bring a budget officer with her to adjust a tuition proposal.
Jackson replied that Bataille should not bring anyone, saying the two of them needed to talk about several other issues. Her resignation resulted.
Shortly after, she wrote the following in an email to a colleague, records show:
"I am sure that by now you have done all the Googling that everyone else is doing, so you know what is in the news. The irony is that there really isn't much else! No smoking guns, no actions that warrant termination, and mostly no good sense exhibited in any of this. It is just a major debacle for a university that is moving ahead quickly and effectively."
E-mails, memos and other documents show Bataille clashed frequently with Jackson, who as chancellor oversees the entire UNT system, with campuses in Denton, Dallas and Fort Worth, plus a future law school in downtown Dallas.
In the days before her resignation, Bataille and Jackson disagreed over how much to raise tuition at UNT.
Jackson had asked Bataille and other presidents in the UNT System to plan for tuition increases of no more than 3.5 percent a year. He also said they could show what they'd do with larger tuition increases.
On Feb. 3 exactly a week before she announced her resignation Bataille publicly announced a potential 5-percent annual increase. On Feb. 5, Jackson e-mailed her, clearly surprised and unhappy with her proposal. He said he thought she had agreed to no more than a 3.95 percent hike.
Jackson wrote that when Texas public university leaders recently met, the chairman asked if anyone planned tuition increases of 5 percent or more. "I'm told that no one raised their hand, including you," Jackson e-mailed. "I was not there and I will be interested in your version of that meeting."
He added, "This is a much less collaborative budget process than we should have."
Bataille replied that she must have left the meeting when the tuition question arose, because she "surely would have responded." She said students gave positive feedback on her proposal. She said a UNT financial official had briefed Jackson on the tuition proposal and he didn't "push back," so Bataille didn't follow up with him.
The board later approved a 3.95 percent annual increase.
Downtown classes
Jackson and Bataille also butted heads over what was essentially a landlord-tenant dispute.
The UNT System owns a building in downtown Dallas called the Universities Center at Dallas. Through a consortium, UNT and Texas A&M University-Commerce offer several classes there.
Last fall, UNT System officially moved its headquarters to the building, located at 1901 Main St. A future UNT law school plans to hold classes there in two years.
In December, Bataille and A&M Commerce president Dan Jones wrote to Jackson that they needed more space and would leave when their lease expired in August 2010.
Jackson wrote back, concerned: Many civic and business leaders helped renovate that building and need to be consulted. He also said the building had two empty floors that could be renovated.
In late January, Jackson told Bataille she could not relocate any UNT classes in Dallas without giving more information and getting his approval.
On Feb. 5 Jackson wrote to regents, "She would not acknowledge that she owed me any particular information."
Adding to the breakdown: The university consortium had hired a commercial real estate agent to study their relocation options.
Jackson wrote to regents, "I regret the need to share this much detail with you, but I want to underscore the profound impact this, and other similar discussions about Shared Services, are having on the professional climate within the UNT System."
Shared services
Jackson and Bataille battled over his push to consolidate all of the system's information technology and human resource departments.
Bataille expressed frustration in emails that she was left out of the loop.
In November, Bataille emailed the president of UNT Health Science Center, Scott Ransom, that she hadn't received materials for the upcoming regents meeting. "I find this response very disheartening and regret the approach Lee has chosen to take."
She and Ransom laid out their objections to the plan in a letter to Jackson. They said the consultants found no other university system to have successfully enacted such a model. They said consolidating the various departments would be "costly and disruptive."
In November, regents approved a plan to seek consolidation in the coming years.
Jackson wrote to regents that the new arrangement would make financial sense. And he said similar efforts are underway at campuses in Missouri and Tennessee. AT A GLANCE: UNT FACULTY PAY
Most faculty and staff at the University of North Texas in Denton will not get pay raises in the 2010-11 school year because of a budget crunch.
DIFFERENT PLANS: On Feb. 12, regents approved a 3.95 percent tuition increase. UNT wants to spend that money on funding scholarships, hiring more faculty, and advising and recruiting students, interim President Phil Diebel wrote in a memo dated Monday.
OTHER OPTIONS: Employees could get raises if their pay is lower than that of people in similar positions at other schools. State lawmakers also could approve cost-of-living pay increases, but that is unlikely given a projected $10 billion to $20 billion state budget shortfall.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram WHAT WAS SAID AS TENSIONS ROSE
Documents and e-mails provided by the University of North Texas show the tension between Gretchen Bataille and UNT Chancellor Lee Jackson.
Nov. 17: Memo from Jackson to the UNT Board of Regents, related to the idea of centralizing information technology and human resources services across the UNT system:
"The primary purpose of a shared services initiative will be to work smarter with better high-level review of all spending and service changes. We may discover opportunities for significant cost savings, but it is more likely that any direct savings we find will be used to support other high priority and smarter strategic investments that will benefit students, staff, and faculty."
Nov. 22: E-mail from Bataille to three IT specialists, related to the idea of combining IT and HR services:
"The Chancellor hired a consulting firm, Alvarez and Marsal, with an outcome in mind. He wants all IT and HR functions at the system level. It is my understanding that the chancellor plans to secure the services of one or more consultants in the IT arena to pursue his wish to consolidate these services at the system level. Of course, I would recommend the three of you, but I imagine that my recommendations wouldn't be followed."
Jan. 29: Letter from Jackson to Bataille, related to the idea of relocating UNT programs from the Universities Center at Dallas building:
"You are not authorized to relocate any of UNT's activities or course offerings outside of 1901 Main Street or enter into any space-related agreement for UNT in Dallas, either as part of the UCD governance or independently of the UCD, until all of the necessary information about your plans has been provided to the System and you have received my written approval."
Feb. 5: E-mail from Jackson to Bataille, about proposed tuition increases:
"Until the last few days, when the first documents were filed for the upcoming Board meeting, I believed that you recognized the importance of limiting UNT's increases for the next two years to 3.5 or 3.95 percent. When I asked you about your intentions recently, you indicated that you see it as your job to propose what the campus needs and the task of the System and Board of Regents to trim this request as needed. This is a much less collaborative budget process than we should have."

By SUNNY LOCKWOOD
Arnold-area Rotarians want to build an amphitheater at White Pines Park and asked Calaveras County Water District directors yesterday to support the plan.
Because the district owns the White Pines Park property and leases it to the White Pines Park Committee to maintain, Rotarian Ron Glass sought CCWD's approval of the 500-seat amphitheater.
But directors, concerned about CCWD's liability and certain that the county Planning Department could require changes to the plan that the district might not like, directors voted instead to approve the plan "in concept."
White Pines Park stretches along the shore of White Pines Lake, near both Hazel Fischer Elementary School and the Sierra Nevada Logging Museum.
Glass told CCWD directors the amphitheater would be unobtrusive, built on a scale to match the rest of the park. He said its proximity to the school just across Dunbar Road from the school parking lot would make it convenient for students to use for educational events. That location would also provide easy parking on the weekends or other times when the amphitheater would be in use but school would be out.
He said the Arnold Rotary Club wants to build the amphitheater in celebration of Rotary International's centennial.
"Our main purpose is to have an outdoor educational forum for the community," said Glass.
Don Anctil, president of White Pines Park Committee, and Karin Lubin, principal of Hazel Fischer School, spoke passionately about what the amphitheater could
offer students, their parents and the White Pines community.
In response, CCWD Board President Jeff Davidson acknowledged that the project would benefit many, "but there are going to be consequences. More diverse groups will want to use it. We don't want this to reflect on (the district). We want to be protected from any discrimination lawsuits."
Davidson also said he expects the Planning Department to require "parking for about 50 cars."
Glass said the plan is flexible, and the number of seats can be reduced.

Symbolic is an enterprise platform designed to build, configure, and manage your huge and globally distributed data centers. It features cloud computing, Web manager virtual environments (Xen, KVM, and libvirt), clustering support, custom operations and scripts support, and user and role definitions.
slkvm is an application to provide some system tools to work with clustering and virtualization. It focuses on depending on as few external tools as possible but to also support as many virtualization technologies as possible. It works in a cluster environment where heartbeat runs virtual machines of nodes that have failed. It builds an "unheaded" cluster to avoid having a clear point of failure. It is able to build a two node cluster with everything redundant. It avoids compiling a new kernel or newer version of applications, so you can benefit from Debian security updates.
OpenSVC is a 'service' manager, as in clustered service manager. Services are described as collections of resources (IP, disk groups, filesystems, file synchronizations, and application launchers). Services can be started, stopped and queried for status, providing a consistent command set for wildly different service integrations. Services can be administered using a stand-alone free software stack deployed on the nodes (nodeware). Service configurations, status, and logs are pushed to a central database coupled to a Web front-end (collector).
Lingua Server is a fast multi-protocol application service server in Java. Its main features are very fast response times, a pluggable protocol and transport architecture, very easy application service development (MVC), built-in cluster support using multicast, auto-discovery, and distributed shared objects.
Libfairydust is a small wrapper library intended for use with GPU clusters that 'hijacks' CUDA and OpenCL calls. It can be used to 're-route' calls to a certain GPU, so a process requesting GPU#0 might end up running on GPU#4 without knowing (or caring) about it. This works completely transparently and does not need any sort of 'cooperation' from the application, changes to code, or relinking.
wsrep-enabled MySQL (previously MySQL/Galera cluster) can use wsrep replication providers, such as Galera, to form a cluster. wsrep API is an abstract replication interface that supports global transaction ID, true multi-master capability, conflict detection and resolution, and parallel applying and is transparent to triggers, stored procedures, and functions by replicating only final transaction results. Only the InnoDB storage engine and DDL commands are supported by this patch.
LavaFlow creates useful reports on the usage of high-performance computing clusters. It takes data from the batch scheduling system, monitoring, and other tooling, and creates reports which help administrators, managers, and end users better understand their cluster environment. The reports are modular, and new modules are easy to create using templates and Django's query set API. LavaFlow uses human-readable RESTful URLs, making it easy to automate and share links to reports.

Dave Matthews Band Light Lift Me Up Lyrics

Oh searching tired of love grown up, now it all falls out,
oh lovely dreamer, magic prince,
come and swoop you up, swoop you up.
but now no I, just might guess,
man at all, i'll grow up, I came your way.
nobody so special, will dream us away,
nobody to sweep you away,
and oh light, oh light come and lift me up.
Oh light please, come lift me up,
oh sweet light come lift me up,
when you go down, remember your steps as a baby,
remembering how you walked,
remembering all the sweetest dreamin' you did,
while you tick-tack alone.
Now all gone, there's nothin' left,
but your dream I wrote in a song.
Just like the bent back of an old woman,
you know it's all gone and severed alone,
and so I rhyme.
So now all your secrets,
they all look the same as all inside,
she feels swallowed up, oh she feels tired as she could,
but creepin' will roll us along.
But it's all over, oh,
it's all alone, so long,
oh Lucy's alone,
sweet Lucy loves the way of the world,
like the bent back of an old woman.
Why soon, this way ?
Why soon, my way ?
I came cryin' till you came, upon my knees,
beggin father lift me up please,
but no, answer came down, oh flower child,
just emptiness inside of me.
Oh light lift me up, please lift me up,
come down and pick me away.
Forgive me all my selfish ways,
sweet light pick me up from my misery.
Why, do I come back to you,
the way, I do,
the way, I picture you,
in the way that I picture you.
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light.
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light.
Lift me up from bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light.
Lift me up from the bottom to the top,
lift me up, sweet light
Thanks to Douglas Murken / email@example.com for submitting Light Lift Me Up Lyrics.

Take a train ride through pine forests to lush alpine meadows laden with flowers, a cable car over dreamy mountain lakes and majestic glaciers, cycle through the myriad red, orange and yellow autumn colours that burst at you through the hills—St Moritz stuns with its varied natural feast. As Hi! Blitz discovers, all this wonder is packaged with incredible chic elegance, reflective of the discreet wealth that this resort town attracts. Like someone described it, St Moritz is like sparkling, dry champagne.
It is where the rich and famous come to escape, many having bought homes here. St Moritz as they would say reeks discreetly of old money. It does not try too hard to seduce you with anything other than what its god-given landscape has to offer. Maybe that's why Bollywood has not reached this part of Switzerland; its chic casualness is not overwhelming or picture perfect. Rather it disarms you and helps you find yourself.
I took a stroll through the tiny holiday village with my guide. The town clearly sets its wealthy tone with its hotels and shops. This tiny mountain village contains six five-star resorts and 39 hotels; for a small place that's an incredible amount of hotels. The shops are all the world's leading luxury brands and so confident are they of the eclectic well-heeled clientele here that fashionista friends who have scoured leading boutiques in cities for a particular design in vain have finally found their much-coveted bag here.
St Moritz was of course discovered by the English. In 1909 it was the all-powerful British Empire that set where it was trendy to holiday. A local visionary Johannes Badrutt challenged some famous holidaying types from England to come to St Moritz, stay at his hotel during the winter as long as they wanted and—this was the deal breaker—if they didn't enjoy the experience they did not have to pay him anything. Further, he would fund their travel bills to and fro as compensation. The challenge was accepted and as they say the rest is history. St Moritz arrived on the winter holiday map of the world's wealthy, a position it has retained through dogged determination and some extraordinary vision and effort from the local government. Today, St Moritz plays host to glamorous events like the British Classic Car Meeting, the Festival da Jazz and the Match Race.
Everything in this town is geared for skiing, but if you want to skip the adventures of ice and snow and prefer a more amiable climate, this alpine resort town charms with its fun activities. A big thrill is e-biking that allows you to pedal at double your normal efficiency. If you are a bit lazy, like me, take in the delights on an electric bike. The additional power provided by the electric battery makes pedalling a lot easier, and the numerous rental outfits and recharging stations make exploring the countryside on bike very easy. The hills of St Moritz are generously strewn with biker tracks that allow you to cycle through woods, past waterfalls, scenic villages, up mountain slopes and through meadows. Kids are delighted to explore nature in such a happy energetic way. Your hotel will organise a small picnic basket just in case the heart and body yearn to linger anywhere. I decided to take in a lazy brunch at a cheese farm, Alp-Schaukaserei Morteratsch, in the woods. There I gorged on a resplendent variety of Swiss cheese all freshly manufactured by the owners who then thoughtfully took me on a tour of the place to show me how handmade cheese is crafted.
The Swiss Alps are a feast of icy peaks. To get the full force of its magnificent glory, take the Diavolezza cable cars that transport you efficiently and quickly and from which you get a fabulous view of the peaks of Bernina, so close you almost feel you can reach out and touch them. Catch a romantic lunch at the Segantini hut or if you are lucky enough like me to be greeted by fresh snowfall, do the Bollywood thing and run through the snow singing songs and even build a mini snowman. Apparently there is even a seven-day walking tour of the Bernina massif that allows you to enjoy the spectacular trail at close quarters, but alas I am not so intrepid, so like a good Indian I settle for the cable car.
A Swiss holiday is incomplete if you do not experience the gentle relaxation of a train journey through hills, meadows, forests and villages. I took the Rhatische Bahn train from Zurich that transported me to St Moritz in about four hours. The train ride prepares you for the more intense wonders ahead. It also harks back to nostalgic days of your childhood when you were not a hostage to time. The superb Swiss railway allows you the endearing return of those salubrious train journeys as you stare wondrously at the moving marvels outside. The train is sparkling clean, but do carry water with you as the Swiss are not used to catering to water guzzling Indians like me.
So enraptured was I by this train journey that I took another one, this time on the Bernina Express which is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites as the highest altitude mountain railway. It links St Moritz to the Mediterranean town of Tirano in Italy. (One is always amazed at the easy access of Switzerland to its neighbours. A lady I encountered at lunch at Hotel Schweizerhof's famous restaurant Acla told me how she drives from Munich to St Moritz almost every second weekend.) To return to the Bernina Express, one travels through 55 tunnels and 196 bridges. It is an incredible feeling to journey from glaciers that seem close enough to touch and eventually wind up in a sunny Mediterranean village dotted with palm trees. All this in just two hours! And back in time to take a lovely stroll down to the Engadine Museum where I walk through a magnificently restored mansion that shows you exactly how the Engadine people of the region lived in the old times. The furniture here would be an interior designer's delight.
And talking about homes is that LN Mittal's house I see up on the hill? My guide concurs. Ah well, one of our desi rich and famous have managed a parking address in one of the world's most exclusive residences. Très bon!

What Do We Think Of RingCentral?
using Ring Central and it's been pretty good. Fully hosted with lots of settings and parameters. 1-800 (or other toll free like 888, 855, etc) also included.
I have it set so you get a main custom greeting, then you press 1 for computers, 2 for websites, etc. Each "department" has a "you have reached the X department. Please wait while you are connected." and then it forwards to my cell phone. The caller ID shows their number plus the extension dialed, so I have a preview of what they're calling about. Plus ring central has PC-based and app-based programs that let you dial out through your 1-800 number, so when you call someone they see your company name and 1-800 number on caller id.
Call quality has been fairly consistent, but there was one instance where the call kept breaking up (yes, I did have excellent cell phone signal).
I can also send and receive faxes through the same phone number, and those faxes are PDF'd right to my email address
... it's well worth the cost to be able to present my company as a much bigger company."
jdpetrov, technibble.com
I use Ring Central VoIP service for my small business. I would like to have presence or BLP as a feature. For those of you who don't know, presence/BLP is the feature that shows when others in your office are on the phone. It would keep my secretary from ringing me when I am already talking to someone else and vice versa
spindler, answers.yahoo.com
I too use RingCentral which has been 9 month now. At first I took out the package for 1000 minutes but I simply was not getting the calls to warrant paying $49 a month so I now have a 100 minute plan for the $15 which suits me well and even if I did go over the 100 minutes, it is the same rate so I would just pay for those minutes anyway.
I downloaded the softphone to my PC, nice feature to have.
The only problem I've had with the 800 number is evidently someone else who previously had it, they must have some collection agencies after them and so finally I had to block those numbers so I would not get them.
So yes, Ring Central seems super and so far their customer service seem great!"
Jan R., 3dcart.com
I can vouch for ring central. Great service and a lot of features. Much better than Grasshopper.
You also can get a free iPhone, android or blackberry app that allows you to track call, make calls using you ring central phone number and many other features."
ownerop, brokeroutpost.com
I subscribe to Ringcentral.com and they have a phone app. It allows me to access any faxes coming in on my iPhone4 as well as on my computer."
Hella R., activerain.com
We currently use ringcentral for VOIP call forwarding, but need call hold, transfer, and multi-location transfer/hold capabilities. 8 user minimum."
crmb, honda-tech.com
I use RingCentral's mobile office service so when people call the toll free number they are routed to my cell phone and I answer calls on my bluetooth headset. Nobody knows the difference as it gives options, plays music in the background while on hold, and can dictate messages. I usually get about 8-10 calls a day which usually takes a few minutes to answer."
Melvin G., betternetworker.com
I use Ring Central for my small business. It's a virtual PBX and incoming calls are automatically forwarded to my cell phone or any other phone I designate. You can set up a toll-free number or local number for a low monthly fee. You can set up mailboxes for each person in your company, and although I don't use it, there is a dial by directory feature as well. You can even set up different voice mail messages for when you're out of the office or on the phone. I have been using it for over a year, and I have been very pleased!"
winnie, voipinfoguide.com
For a startup, with limited customer base - get a $50 phone from walmart and be done with it. That's what we used for 2 years. When you start getting sales volume I would suggest ringcentral ($50-$100 a month) for voicemail and phone forwarding. When you start having intra-network call forwarding requirements and multiple locations that's when you need to step it up."
I was using ring central (ringcentral.com) and their efax service was freaking awesome. However, I couldn't justify paying $50+ a month just for that, when I hardly used the 800 service
GeorgeB, freewebspace.net
I use ringcentral.com for anyone who still needs to send/receive a fax. It comes to my computer, and I can access them with an app on my iPhone 4. Only costs me $7.99/month. Don't use it much but there are times this is the only way - so that amount is worth it to me."

This year's International AIDS Conference aims to mobilize political will to effectively distribute new medicines to combat the deadly disease, a conference organizer said Monday.
Now that scientific breakthroughs have created effective and affordable medicines, a political commitment is needed from governments to ensure that these medicines reach the needy, said Gustaaf Wolvaart, a senior adviser to the conference. "Most of the monetary restrictions in terms of providing the antiretroviral drugs have been addressed," he said, referring to price cuts, production of generic drugs, and subsidy programs. "Now the issue is going to be how to mobilize the political will to roll these things out."
Some 15,000-20,000 people are expected to attend the 15th International AIDS Conference, scheduled for July 11-16 in Bangkok, Thailand, said Wolvaart. It will probably be the biggest AIDS conference yet as well as one of the world's biggest medical meetings, he told a news conference.
Wolvaart said the need for much more money to fight AIDS, the danger of complacency in prevention programs, and the increasing role of religious organizations in combating the disease would also be addressed at the conference. Wolvaart, who organized the 2000 AIDS meeting in Durban, South Africa, said that year's conference changed perceptions about access to antiretroviral drugs. Afterward, the high prices of the drugs used to treat AIDS sufferers began to fall, making them affordable for developing countries. Antiretroviral drugs slow down the replication of HIV and, if taken regularly, can reduce the damage the virus does to the body and improve a patient's health and quality of life.
Similarly, an earlier conference helped spread the idea that contracting AIDS is not necessarily a death sentence, Wolvaart said. The leaders of six nations--China, India, Brazil, Nigeria, Uganda, and Russia--have been formally invited by Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to the conference and are expected to attend.

Product Details
The ADE7763 provides a serial interface to read data and a pulse output frequency (CF) that is proportional to the active power. Various system calibration features such as channel offset correction, phase calibration, and power calibration ensure high accuracy. The part also detects short duration, low or high voltage variations.
The positive-only accumulation mode gives the option to accumulate energy only when positive power is detected. An internal no-load threshold ensures that the part does not exhibit any creep when there is no load. The zero-crossing output (ZX) produces a pulse that is synchronized to the zero-crossing point of the line voltage. This signal is used internally in the line cycle active and apparent energy accumulation modes, which enables faster calibration.
The interrupt status register indicates the nature of the interrupt, and the interrupt enable register controls which event produces an output on the IRQ pin, an open-drain, active low logic output.
The ADE7763 is available in a 20-lead SSOP package.

Product Details
This documentation describes the ADE7763 Evaluation Kit Hardware and Software functionality. The ADE7763 evaluation board, together with the ADE7763 data sheet and this documentation, provides a complete evaluation platform for the ADE7763. The evaluation board has been designed so that the ADE7763 can be evaluated in its end application easily. Using the appropriate transducers on the current channel (e.g., shunt, CT, di/dt sensor, etc.), the evaluation board can be connected to a test bench or high voltage (240 V rms) test circuit. An on-board resistor divider network provides the attenuation for the line voltage. This application note also describes how the current transducers should be connected for the best performance. The evaluation board (watt-hour meter) is configured and calibrated via the parallel port of a PC. The data interface between the evaluation board and the PC is fully isolated. Windows™ based software is provided with the evaluation board, which allows it to be quickly configured as an energy meter. The evaluation board also functions as a stand-alone evaluation system, which can be easily incorporated into an existing system via a 25 way D-Sub connector. The evaluation board requires two external 5V power supplies (one is required for isolation purposes) and the appropriate current transducer.

From producer Zach Green and writer/director Richard Powell, the duo responsible for the darkly comical genre short "Worm", comes the wickedly enjoyable short "Familiar", a film that owes as much to the body horror of David Cronenberg as it does the outrageousness of Frank Henenlotter. It's my favorite kind of horror flick: The movie takes an inherently silly premise and treats it very seriously. The end result is nothing sort of brilliant, and cements Fatal Pictures as one of the most daring genre outlets currently in operation. I sincerely hope that these guys put together a full-length feature in the future, as they I think they could definitely pull it off with very little effort. What these guys accomplish on a miniscule budget is nothing short of impressive.
"Word" star Robert Nolan skillfully embodies the role of bored husband John, a man who is growing increasingly displeased with his typical suburban life. As he cruises through his 40's on autopilot, our hero often daydreams about his parasitic daughter heading off the college, though most of his time is spent obsessing over how much he detests his wife Charlotte (Astrida Auza). Just when he thinks that he's free of his stale marriage and his pathetic existence, his spouse drops a bomb: she's pregnant, a revelation which causes John to have a complete psychological breakdown. Under control of the persuasive voice inside his head, John embarks on a dark journey to free himself from his self-imposed shackles, that is, until things go too far.
"Familiar" is powered entirely by John's narration; there are very few actual conversations in the movie, and the ones we do get are tied directly to the tyrannical voice controlling John's life. Nolan, who knocked one out of the cinematic park in Powell's "Worm", gives a suitably sinister performance as a husband on the brink of utter madness. He seems to thoroughly understand what Green and Powell are looking for, and it's ultimately his ability to bring these unstable characters to life that make these films work as well as they do. Of course, the filmmakers do a wonderful job stretching their limited production budgets to the breaking point, particularly during the picture's blood-soaked finale. If you're at all squeamish, it's probably going to mess with you.
Fatal Pictures continues to impress the hell out of me. The company's short films completely blow away anything you're getting in mainstream American theaters right now, and they're doing it for a fraction of the cost. "Familiar" is easily their best cinematic endeavor to-date, as it features strong performances, an intriguing story, and a third act freak-out that should make body horror aficionados squeal with unbridled delight. As I said before, I'd love to see Zach Green and Richard Powell tackle a full-length feature down the road. As long as they bring Robert Nolan and cinematographer Michael Jari Davidson along for the ride, I'm down for whatever.

MEXICO CITY, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Moody's on Tuesday downgraded Mexican state-oil giant Pemex's foreign and local currency ratings to Baa1 from A3.
"Moody's believes that Pemex's credit metrics will deteriorate further in the short to medium term as oil prices remain depressed, production continues to drop, taxes remain high, and the company's capex needs are financed with debt," Moody's credit officer Nymia Almeida said in a statement.
In response, Pemex said it had expected the downgrade since Aug. 25, and added that it had taken various measures to improve its finances, including renegotiating pension liabilities and cost-cutting.
The company also said that last June, it discovered new oil fields that could hold reserves of up to 350 million barrels. (Reporting by Gabriel Stargardter and Luis Rojas; Editing by Sandra Maler)

Dr. Mac: When a gift is just picture-perfect
This gift is picture-perfect
Published 6:30 am, Tuesday, December 21, 2010
I've loved photography since I was a kid.
I still remember the sulfurous smell of my little darkroom in a dank closet in our basement. I started with a cheap Kodak Instamatic (are you old enough to remember Kodak 126 film cartridges?) and ended with a pair of 35 mm SLR camera bodies and an assortment of lenses and filters.
Then came digital photography. With no darkroom, smelly chemicals, costly film or need for film processing — not to mention the new tools like iPhoto and Photoshop - I loved it from the start.
I've had Apple QuickTake cameras with resolutions as low as 640 x 480. I remember at least half a dozen Canon, Nikon and Kodak digital cameras over the years. More recently I've been using the two-display Samsung DualView TL225 I raved about last March.
But up to this point I had only owned point-and-shoot digital cameras with fixed lenses. I've been lusting for a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera with interchangeable lenses for as long as I can remember. The only problem was that I couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars on a camera.
Guess what my wife gave me for Hanukkah ? If you said a Canon EOS Rebel T2i DSLR camera body and two Canon lenses - an EF-S 18-55mm IS and an EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 - you're right. She's a relentless bargain hunter, and she found all that with a 4GB SDHC memory card at Amazon.com for $1,249. There's still no way to justify it, but my wife and kids insisted I have it.
In a word, it's awesome. I get shots I would never have gotten with a fixed lens camera.
Here are some things I can do now that I couldn't do with my previous cameras:
Blur the background or foreground at will. Full control over depth of field is a huge thing for me. Sure, I could jigger the manual exposure and aperture controls on other cameras and occasionally get the shot I wanted. But now I have total control. And unlike my other cameras, I see exactly what the picture is going to look like in the viewfinder or on the LCD display.
Capture up to 3.7 shots per second. And since it will capture up to 30 shots in roughly 10 seconds, I figure I'll get at least one shot that doesn't totally stink.
Trigger the shutter instantly. It shoots when you press the button so there's virtually no shutter lag. I've yet to miss a shot because the camera didn't respond quickly enough.
Shoot full HD movies (1,920 x 1080 @ 30fps) with sound. They look incredible, too.
My conclusion: DSLR cameras are even better than I had hoped.

Sadly, most people have no idea where the Christmas holiday traditions come from, but they swear that it is all about Jesus.
Surprise! The Christmas holiday as we know it is really an aggregation of a bunch of mythology and customs that were actually around before the birth of Jesus, who, according to Scripture, was actually born in September.
And, while some Christians may not want to hear it, even the story of a god's rebirth into a new being predates Jesus.
December 25 as a commemorative date was a Roman celebration of Saturn, who was the rebirth of the Sun God. According to the Romans, the Sun God was resurrected three days after his death. This resurrection caused the Romans to celebrate with gift giving and processions of celebration featuring priests carrying wreaths of Evergreen boughs.
As for the actual Christmas tree, the Germans used the Evergreen tree to worship the Yule God. Sound familiar? Of course-Yuletide greetings…Yule logs…"Yuletide carols being sung by the choir…" The Germans also had a tradition of giving gifts as a part of the Yule celebration.
A Winter Solstice celebration, Yule was Christianized as Christmas and imbued with the birth of Jesus story. The Romans incorporated this and a number of other pagan celebrations when Constantine recreated, rewrote and consolidated Christianity and the Bible in 432 AD.
And finally, the German Yule celebration included hanging mistletoe and holly. How "Christian" are these symbols? Let's see…going back to the Sun God, worshippers believed that the White berries on the mistletoe represented the Sun God's semen, while the red holly was held by witches to represent the menstrual blood of heaven's queen, Diana.
Of course, since many Christians never really read the Bible or study history, I will be seen as evil and a hater of Christians.
But, let's take a look at who believes in God.
According to a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, ten per cent of Protestants, twenty-one per cent of Roman Catholics and fifty-two per cent of Jews do not believe in God. Surprised? Well, there's more that may also shock you.
Eighty-four per cent of women believe in God, while only seventy-three per cent of men do.
In terms of education and faith, eighty-two per cent of those with no college education believe in God, while only seventy-three per cent of those who went to college have faith.
Eighty-seven per cent of Republicans believe, while seventy-eight per cent of Democrats and seventy-five per cent of Independents have faith.
When it comes to race, guess who has the greatest faith? African Americans lead the faithful at ninety-one per cent, while eighty-one per cent of Hispanics and only seventy-eight per cent of Whites have faith.
That brings us back to the holiday season. Many people do not believe in God and yet they celebrate Christmas. Still, others believe in God, but do not believe in Jesus Christ and yet, they too, celebrate Christmas.
The season has come to symbolize much more than the Christian holiday it originally was designed to be. It is now a season-a season of love and giving, a season of understanding and a season of peace and kindness.
Such a powerful season should have a powerful impact on people, particularly men and women who claim to love and believe in Jesus Christ, who, incidentally, was not a Christian, but a Hebrew.
My point? Well, it's rather simple. As a man of God, I am at once disgusted and saddened by the lunatics and overbearing heretics who claim to represent God and who claim to know Jesus (Yahshua, the Black revolutionary). As a scholar, I already know that they have more than likely never read the Bible for themselves or studied history and therefore, have no real clue as to the reality of Jesus of Nazareth.
If you really read the Bible, then you will know that Jesus was not trying to convince people to worship within any religion, and he certainly wasn't trying to push people to worship him. If you claim to aspire to be like Jesus, you should realize that you only do that when you are tolerant of other belief systems.
Knowledge of the Bible and of history will reveal that what Jesus was trying to deliver to other humans, more than anything else, was an understanding of conscious evolution, which means that he had mastered the power of critical thinking. What would Jesus do? Well, he wouldn't be hating people because they hold divergent faiths. Believe that.
In organizations such as the Green Beret, the slogan goes, "Many are called but few are chosen." Such is also the case with universal conscious evolution.
Jesus states in Matthew 7:14: "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
Jesus is saying that "narrow is the way," and "few there be that find it," which means that the true path will not be followed by the majority. In other words, whatever is popular, is more than likely NOT the correct path. Also, by saying "few there be that find it," Jesus is illustrating that the path is not a mass pursuit, but that each individual should determine for self the way which "leadeth unto life."
As A HEBREW HIMSELF, Jesus advocated for intrinsic spiritual enlightenment and conscious evolution, not blind and exclusionary participation in any one religion. Also, like many other prophets and revolutionaries, Jesus was not very popular during his time, and neither were his doctrines.
Remember, Jesus was not a Christian, and promoted only love for humanity and for his father, God, not for any religion. Christianity was manufactured following his murder at the hands of crazed religious zealots, who curiously, were promoting THEIR religious beliefs when they killed him.
Please allow me to quote three immortal thinkers:
According to Mark Twain, "If Christ were here there is one thing he would not be…a Christian."
"There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread," said Mahatma Ghandi.
And, finally, from the new school of conscious evolution and critical thinking, Darryl James preaches that "There are perhaps more atheists created from the unwitting repulsion generated by religious zealots than the careful work of the devil himself."
The conscious evolution promoted by Jesus, Mohammed and other historical visionaries allows humans to transcend the clannishness of religions in order to focus on the universal love found in the true Kingdom of God. There is no evolution in promoting one religion over another. If all paths lead to God, then your path is as valid as my own, unless of course, you have spoken directly to God—in which case, you are either delusional, a prophet, or full of crap.
Religion, faith and spirituality are individual pursuits that are very elusive in their purity. There is no evolution in pushing the same vapid thoughts to the masses without critical thinking and a historical perspective.
Take that into consideration the next time you send out your insipid Jesus emails or otherwise deliver such messages unwarranted without a care in the world for your brethren who did not ask for them. How mean spirited and witless is it to continue to flood the masses with information that you yourself more than likely don't really understand?
This Christmas season, spread love, spread holiday cheer and spread the spirit of giving and sharing, which does not mean jamming your religion down the throats of the masses.
Quite frankly, in doing so, you are moving away from the conscious evolution pursued by Jesus of Nazareth, and are therefore, DANCING WITH THE DEVIL. Nevertheless, our God has given you the freedom to do so, just as Hitler, the slave masters, and the warmongering leaders of this nation were allowed to make their own choices on God's green earth.
Just don't lie and claim to do it in the name of Jesus.
Happy Holidays!

Romney says US 'attacked successfully' in Libya
lost in DC West Jordan, UTOct. 12, 2012 5:39 a.m.
is BO still claiming it was a spontaneous uprising when the streets were normal prior to the coordinated attack on the anniversary of 9/11 with automatic weapons, RPGs, and mortars?
BO sent a spokeswoman in front of FIVE news networks a week after the attack to claim it was a spontaneous riot over some video that had been out for 3 months. Is there no lie they will not tell, not depth to which they won't sink, no diplomats' deaths they will not desecrate to appear competent?

But the issue is the upper part easily slides down while workouts and its been annoying for me to again strech it back.. pls rectigu this issue
Since I am a ligament injury wala patient, I always need a knee brace for running, gyming or such kind of things. I have used many kinds of knee braces cheap one and costly one too. but this brace gives me a feeling of completeness coz the kind of mash it has is amazing, elasticity is great, gives u a proper movement while running and jogging and nicely support my ligaments while doing these activities. Amazing Product

IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG! The Natal Sharks will play the Crusaders in a monumental Super Rugby clash at Twickenham, London on Sunday 27th March! It's gonna happen! Now Now, lets try remain calm 🙂
You may remember last week we were hit with the possibility of watching the Sharks play the Crusaders at Twickenham right here in London on 26th March. I must admit I couldn't contain the excitement at the thought, however the excitement was short lived and our dreams were shattered shortly after as RFU advised that it would not be possible to as the Quins would be played Gloucester that Saturday at the Stoop which is literally less than a mile down the road. As you can imagine, two massive rugby matches within such a small area would become quite plainly put, one big massive traffic jam. Wembley wasn't an option due to England playing Ghana in a football friendly. However this wasn't going to stop the Crusaders from having another crack at it by simply suggesting the day after... so after a bit of head scratching, RFU have tjooned, Ja cool, lets do it!
The match will kick off at 4pm on Sunday 27th March and become the stage for a massive Red Cross Weekend Fundraising Appeal to raise over £1million for those affected by the recent earthquake in Christchurch, home of the Crusaders. £5 from each ticket sold will go towards the appeal.
Twickers will become the first stadium to ever host a Super Rugby match outside of the three host nations, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Tickets go on sale on this afternoon on Ticketmaster.
Due to the decision being made mere minutes ago, there's been no word on the price yet but we will obviously know in the next couple of hours.
So get those click fingers ready gang, as I think this is going to be one massive sell out... EISH! 🙂
Personally I'd like to thank the Crusaders for not giving up on a brilliant idea for a good cause, The Sharks for gladly accepting (and for playing like champions) and of course RFU for making a plan, because this is AWESOME! 🙂 Not to mention everyone of you that showed your support to get this game to London! 🙂
The Ballie could hardly contain himself when I txt him a few minutes ago to let him know... as many of you know, he's a die hard Sharks Supporter... Sharks tattoo and all 🙂
See you all at the game! WOOT! WOOT! 🙂
P.S... I'm feeling a little special, a few weeks after this game I'm going to be watching the Sharks taking on the Lions at Kings Park... and what made my trip cheaper... 20% Discount on flights to South Africa on SAA with a £10 Springbok Supporters Club Membership... not frickin bad ey!UPDATE: tickets will be priced at £30,£40 and £50 depending on where you want to sit.

Tagged: close cart
Hi on landing my cart icon in the headers says the word "close" and if I click the word close then I get the desired cart icon. I am not sure why it says close I would love it to just show the cart, any assistance is appreciated.
http://tiny.cc/pqw9cw is the link
Add following code to css/custom.css – this should solve the issue:

My XPS 420 stopped working today, and it's showing the 1, 3 and 4 Diagnostic lights, with the fan blowing superfast (and noisy). I've checked prior posts on this Forum, and it seems this is not an unheard of problem, although the solutions seemed varied. In my case, this happened about 8 months ago, and after a number of hours on the phone with Dell (India Branch), they finally sent someone out and replaced the motherboard, graphics card and all 4 memory modules. This solved the problem until yesterday, when the exact same thing happened. Of course, now, I'm out of warranty, and Dell's response is about what you might imagine.
In any event, I've done a number of the things recommended -- blew out all the dust, pulled and reseated the memory modules, pulled and reseated the little silver battery, pulled and reseated the graphics card, etc. No luck. So then I started pulling out the cards one by one, and when I got to the graphics card, success. I put everything else back in place, except for the graphics card, and the computer booted up, and the little miniscreen display lit up as normal. No crazy blowing fan, no lit diagnostic lights and the power button is steady blue. Problem is, of course, no monitor. Logic tells me that I need to replace the graphics card, but the question is, with what? As I've digested this, it appears that the PSU is underpowered (375W) for the graphics card.
Here are my specs:
-- XPS 420 (Intel Core2 quad processor Q6600 (8 MB cache)
-- NVIDIA 8600 GTS graphics card
So what should I use to replace the NVIDIA card? Ideally, I'd like to get something that works with the existing PSU. I don't do any gaming or any graphics intensive stuff, so I don't need the top of the line card. Just something that will work, and that won't cost me as much as a new computer. Suggestions?
Either the SAPPHIRE 100293L Radeon HD 5570 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16, video card shown HERE, or the EVGA 01G-P3-N959-TR GeForce 9500 GT 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 video card shown HERE should work fine with the XPS 420 and the default 375w power supply.
Dell rates their power supplies at Steady State loads, not Peak loads like most other manufacturers.
I have a EVGA Geforce 9400GT in an Inspiron 530 MT running on default 305w power supply without any issues.
If my answer was helpful, please use the 'Did this answer the question' and click: YesForum Member since 2001I am not employed by Dell
Thanks for your post. My computer is 3 1/2 yrs old and this EXACT same thing just happened to me 2 days ago for the first time. I'm not sure what to do. Wondering how you ended up? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
- Harry
I replaced the graphics card, and that seemed to solve the problem (at least, it hasn't happned again). I went with the GeForce 9500. Good luck!
I have had the same - frequent crashes until it hit the same problem you described above. I had suspicions it was the graphics card so substituted this for an old one (also AGP but not a particularly advanced one) and hey presto, it worked.

Thought Leadership
Retirement planning: an income strategy for old age
There is no single answer to the problem of how to make increasingly inadequate pension savings cover ever-lengthening lives at a time of low investment returns. Having looked at the way a number of countries tackle the issue, we think any solution needs to combine investment income with longevity insurance.
We have been looking into what people from around the world do with their defined contribution savings after they retire. No market has yet found the ideal strategy. The risks and degree of uncertainty involved often lead to conflicting objectives. Last year, we suggested some principles that any investment solution would need to follow to reconcile these conflicts. Having since drawn on the experience of other markets, we now propose an income strategy that combines stable, real growth in early retirement with some sort of longevity insurance in later old age.
In arriving at this solution, we discovered that certain risks and requirements were common to pensioners the world over. Four key areas of uncertainty stood out:
- Investment – the risk of earning less than expected
- Longevity – the risk of living longer than expected
- Inflation – the risk of prices rising faster than expected
- Consumption – the risk of spending more than expected.
Of these risks, the only one where the individual has any direct control is consumption. The relative importance of the other three changes over time. Figure 1 shows the impact of a small change in each of these key variables. Early in retirement, the risk of not achieving sufficient returns is the major worry, as there is still a significant period of time over which to grow the assets. The threat from inflation is also at its highest early on for the same reason: there is a long period of time over which the uncertainty can manifest itself. Longevity risk starts out relatively small, owing to the high probability of survival through the early years. However, this risk grows with age, reflecting the fact that longevity is self-fulfilling, i.e. the probability of reaching 90 is much higher at 89 than at 65.
This insight helps to focus the solution on the appropriate risk at each stage of retirement. When the savings are largest, generating strong real investment returns with limited losses will provide the biggest benefit. As the pensioner ages, and withdraws income from the account, protecting them against the risk of their outliving their savings should be the main focus.
There is a clear gap between what individuals need in their post-retirement solution and what they want. To manage the economic and actuarial risks outlined above, individuals require a solution to provide certain features. Their most basic needs would include flexibility, stable returns, inflation protection and longevity protection (primary criteria). But they are also likely to want predictable income, simplicity, adequacy and legacy benefits (secondary criteria).
Clearly a number of these factors conflict with each other (for example, predictability versus flexibility) and it is therefore difficult to rank them in order of importance. As with many investment decisions for individuals, a balance of factors is likely to be most effective.
