The ceremony and honeymoon are over and reality has now set in. You are living together as one and both of you will need to make some adjustments. This is especially true of money and debts that both of you have incurred prior to your marriage. This article will provide you with some tips on how to begin the process in making your marriage last, being prosperous and taking control of your finances.
Begin With The Basics
- Create a household budget and stick to it!
- Pay down any debt accrued before you got married.
- Start saving for our future together.
- Plan for the unexpected.
- As a couple, create a total financial game plan.
This step requires patience and persistence. Sit down together and begin to formulate your plan. There are tools that you can use to assist you in budget planning. The sooner you do this the better chance you have of not fighting over finances as a couple. SmartMoney indicated this is the biggest problem facing married couples.
Some Tips to Consider
- Update your will if you have one. If not, make one.
- Update your life insurance policy if you have one. If not, buy a term life insurance policy that covers the entire family including children.
- Update your medical power of attorney.
- Decide on guardians for your children.
Suggested Budget Plan
- 35% Housing – includes mortgage or rent, utilities, insurance, taxes and home maintenance.
- 20% Transportation – includes car payments, auto insurance, tag or licenses, maintenance, gasoline, parking, tolls and transit.
- 15% Debt – includes student loans, retail installment contracts, credit cards, personal loans, tax debts and medical debts.
- 20% Other – includes all other expenses: food, clothing, entertainment, childcare, medical expenses and charity.
- 10% Savings – save at least 10% of your income throughout your working years. Pay yourself first!
Keeping finances separate or in a joint bank accounts is a matter of personal preference. But, whatever you decide, do not forget to communicate! This should be done on a regular basis.
Do's and Don'ts
- Do break bad debt habits (90 million households carry credit cards, with an average debt load of more than $10,500 (USA Today, March 22, 2009.)
- Do not delay in paying off credit cards completely. (The average household pays about $1,000 in credit card interest a year. (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, January 18, 2004)
- Do communicate honestly about your spending habits.
- Do not abuse your credit.
- Do communicate on a regular basis converting the household finances. This cannot be stressed enough.
Save For A Rainy Day
Starting a family or retiring from your job might seem like a long way off, but it pays to start planning early. Saving and investing is an essential part of your financial game plan. This means more than just putting a few dollars into a savings account. Here are some suggested areas of saving:
- Emergencies: According to a recent survey, only 28% of households said they have enough money saved to weather a financial difficulty. (Money, April 2004). If you have to make a home repair, pay for an unexpected injury or supplement a spouse's income due to unemployment, you need to have some cash on hand. A good goal to shoot for is to have enough for at least 3 months of core expenses.
- Short Term Goals: Maybe you are dreaming of a summer vacation, new appliances for your home or another big-ticket purchase. Save up for things. It is better to pay cash than getting locked into high interest credit card debt.
- Children's Education: If you plan to start a family, it is a good idea to think about education. With annual tuition at a 4-year public university topping $8,000, starting early can make a big difference. Determine if you plan on paying all or part of this expense. Inform your children how much they will be paying for before they start there first college course.
- Retirement: If you are among those who have not saved a dime for retirement, starting now will pay big dividends later. You need to start saving and investing now. Social Security checks will not cover all of your basic retirement needs. You will have to supplement Social Security with additional retirement funds. The average Social Security check for individuals was $1,079 and $1,761 for couples as of 2008.
Plan For Tomorrow…Today
No one wants to think about tragedy or loss, but you should discuss with your spouse a game plan if something unexpected should happen to either of you. Nothing can replace the loss of a spouse. A term life insurance policy protects your family if something should happen. Depending upon your expenses, if you have children, a policy that covers between 6 and 10 times your income should be enough. (MoneyCNN.com, August 4, 2003).
In addition to the life insurance policy, it is important to talk about each other's wishes if one should die. Discuss burial site, to be cremated or not, and a will covering the distribution of your assets and care of your children.
Next Steps
What has been presented seems like a monumental task for you to think about. It is not that hard. You will need to focus on your situation. Every married couple is unique and their finances are no exception. Good luck! May your marriage be successful and prosperous.


text: I know we're usually taught to not mix different kinds of heads on the same zone. For instance, you normally wouldn't want to put a RB 1804 spray head on the same zone as a RB 5000 rotor. And you normally wouldn't put a MP Rotator on the same zone as zone that was otherwise 1804 with regular nozzles. Matched precip. rate is usually desirable. But I've found certain cases where it was NOT desirable. Where it actually created problems and the solution was to change out one or more heads to a totally different kind of head that had a lower precip. rate. I just wanted to start a discussion. In your experience, what circumstances is it acceptable to throw in different heads with totally different precip. rates within the same zone? Or if you think that's never acceptable, tell me why.

|Monument Wars: Forging National Identity in 21st Century Estonia, Hungary and Poland
|Eckholm, Cara
|Katz, Stanley
|Woodrow Wilson School
|Class Year:
|After the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet Union, protestors affirmed their rejection of Communism by demolishing many of the monuments built by their former oppressor. "Where's Lenin?" became a joke across Eastern Europe. In this thesis, I contemplate a follow-up question: "Who has taken Lenin's place?" The political upheaval of the early 1990s dramatically reconfigured the region, resulting in newly independent states that embarked on the task of creating a fresh identity and a physical iconography befitting their freedom. But that post-Communist transition officially ended in 2004 for some states, when they joined the European Union. I explore the capitals of Estonia (Tallinn), Hungary (Budapest) and Poland (Warsaw) to show how, in the past decade, political actors have again used monuments as a means of re-imagining their nations. Just as the fall of Soviet-imposed Communism created a critical juncture for national identity in the early 1990s, so too the accession to the E.U. in 2004 unleashed new currents. Estonia, Hungary and Poland had proven their fit for Europe, and were simultaneously empowered in their relations with Russia. A nationalist drive to remove remaining Communist monuments—mostly Soviet World War II memorials—was invigorated. But when Estonia acted on that impulse in 2007, leading to calls for similar action in Hungary and Poland, it set off domestic clashes and also elicited a barrage of reprisals from Russia. In response to the E.U.'s eastward expansion, Putin has tried to regain influence in the former Soviet bloc, and the revived threat of Russia has fueled new debates over how to portray the Communist past. At the same time, Estonia, Hungary and Poland have struggled to define their new sense of self. Nationalist political movements have again played a major hand, now fighting the ascending liberal-European vision of society embodied in E.U. norms. Nationalists have designed monuments that incorporate foundational myths, grounded in tales of victimization at the hands of foreign powers and the heroism with which local populations fought those invaders. Opposing political movements have responded with their own structures, choosing to champion more forward-looking ideas. In Estonia, Hungary and Poland, monuments are still pawns in deeper fights over national identity. My thesis illustrates how, even in three places where a new political system is seemingly established, sorting out the competing pulls of Europe and Russia is an unsettled proposition. And it shows the difficulty, in plural societies, of constructing national symbols that reflect the voices of all. It naturally raises the deeper question of how best to achieve that end.

The Koran: A Jail of Perfection
Expand Messages
- Note how, in the Bible, God never speaks through the prophets.
Unlike the Koran, God speaks to his prophets (including Paul and the
Disciples). God's words are revealed to them, instead of channeled.
The Word of God and the words of men intermix during intense
visionary experiences---visions that, by their very nature, are
distinct unto themselves, humanized. Because the prophets and
disciples interjected their own "I" into their visions we have a
collection of unique and individualized testimonies inspired by God.
Their uniqueness is due to the fact that each apostle, each disciple,
each prophet is himself unique, expressing a well-defined level of
consciousness; each gospel, in fact, represents a different mode of
thought, a different way of approaching God; whereas with the Koran,
there is only one way. We are not reading the Prophet Mohammed's
words in the Koran; we are reading the infallible word of God coming
directly through Mohammed's pen. The Koran is without a human "I".
Therefore the Koran cannot be interpreted organically. It has a
built-in theology that is unchangeable, hindering all attempts to
personalize the message from generation to generation as human
society evolves through the Ages. The universal nature of the Koran
holds Islam in the "infallibility and perfection" of its own words.
Mathew Morrell

text: 5 Most Overrated Green Bay Packers Players By Michael Terrill PREV NEXT 5 Most Overrated Green Bay Packers Players Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are less than three weeks away from kicking off the 2014 NFL season against the Seattle Seahawks. With only two preseason games left, the Packers must get their roster down to 53 players. Of those 53, there will be overrated, underrated and players that will deliver exactly as expected. Here's a look at the five most overrated players that will clinch a roster spot. 5. Brad Jones, LB Getty Images 5. Brad Jones, LB Getty Images Inside linebacker Brad Jones had a career year in 2013, which is a big reason why everyone is talking about him being a staple of the defense in 2014. However, the Packers gave up an average of 4.6 rushing yards per gain and 125.0 rushing yards per game last season, which ranked 25th and 30th in the NFL respectively. Jones ranked third on the team in tackles, but he also proved to be incapable of stopping the run last season. 4. B.J. Raji, DT Getty Images 4. B.J. Raji, DT Getty Images B.J. Raji's interception returned for a touchdown in the NFC Championship Game in 2011 will go down as one of the all-time great moments in Packers history. Unfortunately, there are plenty of reasons why he's overrated. The average fan is going to assume he's one of the better players on the team. The reality is he has been a weak link the past few seasons. In three years, he has recorded 65 total tackles and three sacks in 46 games. 3. Morgan Burnett, S Getty Images 3. Morgan Burnett, S Getty Images Morgan Burnett is one of the higher paid safeties in the NFL thanks to a $26.073 million contract extension he signed last summer. He followed that up with the worst statistical season of his career, including being the only strong safety in the NFL to not record a takeaway. Burnett has shown the ability to be a top-notch playmaker, but he will continue to be overrated if he can't put forth a solid effort in 2014. 2. John Kuhn, FB Getty Images 2. John Kuhn, FB Getty Images Like all Packers fans, I'm a huge supporter of John Kuhn. The way he continues to do an outstanding job on special teams and blocking for Aaron Rodgers on offense is awesome. Kuhn developed into a folk hero over the years as fans have embraced the blue-collar style that he brings to the game. However, Kuhn also gets far more credit than he deserves, which includes being named No. 92 on the NFL Network's "Top 100 Players of 2012 list." 1. A.J. Hawk, LB Getty Images 1. A.J. Hawk, LB Getty Images A.J. Hawk stepped up for the Packers big when it mattered most, which was during their 2010 Super Bowl run. That doesn't mean that fans will take away the fact that he's completely overrated. Being drafted fifth overall is going to come with high expectations. Despite Hawk leading the team in tackles in four of his seven seasons, he's still someone who consistently misses out on making the big play.

Porsche has resumed producing its Cayenne sport utility vehicle at its Leipzig site in Germany, after floods in the region forced suspension of the plant's operations. In a statement, plant head Siegfried Buelow said they are resuming production on June 6, 2013, but disclosed that supply situation "remains critical."
Porsche will determine day-by-day the number of vehicles to be produced. Porsche stopped production on the line, which builds the Cayenne and Panamera models, after high water levels in the Czech Republic disrupted freight train delivery of components sourced from Bratislava, Slovakia.
The floods were caused by unseasonal heavy rainfall, and were considered the worst in central Europe since 2002. Around 15,000 people have been evacuated from their homes in the state of Saxony and thousands more in Saxony-Anhalt and Bavaria.
Rising waters have already hampered modes of transportation using rail, roads and rivers. According Julia Pirlich, a spokeswoman for Porsche, the Leipzig site typically builds 450 cars a day on three shifts.
She added that the production stoppage in the Leipzig site affected several hundred of the plant's 1,250 workers. Pirlich noted that thanks to Porsche's flexible production system, they were able to make up for the lost vehicles.
More dynamic and with a more efficient engine, the new Cayenne is a picture of engineering excellence, which boasts of a larger interior space, a lighter overall weight and a unique, elegantly sporty feature. Truly, the Cayenne is a Porsche, with its world-class engineering features.
Porsche introduced its line-up of new generation models, led by the Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, its first ever hybrid-powered production car. As expected, the new generation models has put Porsche in the limelight once more, with trendsetting engineering accomplishments, such as enhanced overall efficiency for its new generation models, resulting in a fuel consumption reduction of up to 23 per cent compared to its predecessors.
For all Porsche vehicles, including the new Cayenne, the principle of Porsche Intelligent Performance was applied in its development. This Porsche principle preaches the mantra of maximized power with minimized fuel, resulting in an increased efficiency with reduced CO2 emissions.
Thus, it is not surprising that Porsche's new generation models have successfully complied with the fuel consumption limits set by the New European Driving Cycle of ten liters per 100 kilometres. Furthermore, two Porsche models have well complied to the prescribed emission limit of 200 grams of CO2 per kilometre- these are the Cayenne Diesel and the Cayenne S Hybrid with an emission rate of 195 grams/km and 193 grams/km respectively.
Through the years, Porsche has exerted continuous efforts to further improve on their engine design and performance, and this resulted in substantial achievements in producing a far more efficient engine, such as Porsche's new eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, complete with Auto Stop. This new engine is the reason why Porsche's Cayenne model enjoys a remarkable reduction in both fuel consumption and carbon emission.
Also contributing to a more efficient performance on the road are other outstanding Porsche features such as a wider range of gear increments, a thermal management system for the engine and transmission cooling circuit, recuperation features of its on-board network, a variable overrun reduction and last but not the least, consistent achievements in weight reduction brought about by well designed lightweight construction.

HC, you probably can help me on this. I have tried this begonia twice now and it just rots away after growing a little while. Same potting mix and same environment as my successful ones.
Thanks to anyone who can help. I really want to have this one.
Begonia bipinnatifida
HC, you probably can help me on this. I have tried this begonia twice now and it just rots away after growing a little while. Same potting mix and same environment as my successful ones.
Put it in a terrarium. When it dries out too much it will wilt, then add a little water to it if it is planted in the terrarium.
I have mine in a big jar in the original pot. When it wilts I remove the pot and water it thoroughly and let it drain in the sink. I also clean any algae and fallen leaves in the jar at this time. I've had it for 3 years so far.
I had a nice bushy one that grew like a weed outdoors in our humid summer weather of the south. When I moved it indoors for winter it died in a few short weeks.
Lesson learned - keep this in a terrairum.
Gotcha. Fortunately I am converting my 125 aquarium to just that. :-)
Your soil mix?
I don't know what the soil mix was (looked like quite a bit of perlite) since I carried this on the plane from the 2007 L.A. convention (bought it while at Kartuz). Half the soil fell out so I added Miracle Gro potting mix a little earlier this year and it holds water a lot better. Kicking myself for not adding more soil a year or two earlier.
Here was my old Bipi that was quite thick while outdoors.
Also, could you post a pic of yours?
oops...posted over you. Beautiful plant.
Wow! 2nd photo is awesome. Thanks.
That is a beautiful Begonia! Too bad it needs a terrarium!

Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) is a program we offer on Sundays from October through May during the 10:30 AM Mass. Children in grades 1-4 are called forward and dismissed from Mass after the opening prayer with our team of teachers and musicians so they may then listen to God's Holy Word on their level of awareness in our youth room. Click here for the 2017-2018 schedule.
Pray and Play is a wonderful experience for preschoolers (ages 3-5) and kindergartners. Children should be dropped off in Room 120 just prior to the 10:30 AM Mass. Here they will engage in
activities and hear the gospel at their level of understanding. They should be picked up immediately following Mass. No registration required. Come see what we are all about or see the parish website for calendars and more information. Click here for the 2017-2018 schedule.
Would You Like to Help Children to Pray?
We welcome special education teachers and Confirmation Candidates to assist us with one-on-one mentoring. Please contact Susan for more details.

FIFA 2014. Germany wins. The end. That's pretty much what you can expect following the conclusion of the month-long sporting event. It's like one big party. No matter how big or how fun the whole thing was, eventually the crowd goes away and it's time to pack up.
This is actually a sticky situation in B2B lead generation. No matter how long or how complicated your sales process, this kind of excitement is still the key to attracting potential clients. That's why you ride on trends like the World Cup. There is a major struggle to be in the biggest conversation because that's where you think your target market is found. So once the party's over, it seems like the game's over too.
Funnily enough, it's like America's own relationship with the sport of soccer. The sport is the iconic sport of suburban kids. But once they hit high-school, it's going to be something else. Sound familiar?
It would be if this story is the one told by a majority of your clients. At first glance, your lead generation campaign was perfect. It got them excited about your solution. They enjoyed the conversation from the telemarketer all the way to seeing that fancy sales presentation. What comes after though? You don't remember. That's the problem.
This superficial nature of trends shouldn't go as far as infect your marketing assets. That's why marketers need to extend their concerns beyond just producing B2B leads. It's important to concern themselves with what happens after those leads are qualified, sent to sales, and become paying customers. How do you keep up the excitement even at the end of a trend?
- Find a new one – Obviously the first thing you'd think of but might hesitate to apply because you don't want to be a trend-hopper. But if marketing is going to have any hard truths, it'd have to be that. You need to stay relevant, stay trendy, and stay within the attention span of your target market. The good news is that once one trend ends, you can be sure another one will already be on the horizon. It only becomes a matter of how fast you can pick it up before they can.
- Focus on business relationships – If you really don't like the trend-hopper label, then take comfort in the fact that your target market isn't always one either. Sometimes what gets them interested can differ from the mainstream. Keeping yourself focused on maintaining good relationships with that particular target market helps you understand what they deem important not just what the whole world is talking about.
- Be consistent in spite of trends – Remember, the only reason why you're trying to get in with a trend is so that you can redirect a prospect's attention to your business. What you provide as a business is the foundation of your relationships with customers. Sticking true to that helps your business deliver on what it promises in its marketing campaigns. It shows that you have a culture and an organizational sense of identity.
Trends can come and go but it'd be a different story if the same went for your business. You don't see McDonald's ending after the World Cup right? That's because they don't let their marketing end with the trends.

Evaluation Of Essure Birth Control Method Urged. On September 24, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will meet to discuss the risks and benefits of Bayer HealthCare's Essure birth control system.
Medical experts take a closer look at problems reported with the birth control implant Essure, including chronic pain, bleeding, headaches, and allergic reactions, US News reports.
Essure was granted FDA approval in November 2002 and is the only permanent birth control method that does not require surgery. Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals' online materials say the implant procedure can be done in a doctor's office and takes about 10 minutes to perform. The procedure does not require hospitalization, incisions, or the recovery time of surgical sterilization.
The FDA has received more than 5,000 complaints about Essure in the 13 years it has been on the market. In April, the FDA said it would investigate Essure following complaints of fraud during the clinical trial and reports of serious side effects.
Essure consists of small, flexible nickel-titanium coils that are inserted through the vagina into the woman's fallopian tubes. The coils cause scar tissue to form in the fallopian tubes, eventually blocking the tubes and preventing pregnancy. Once an X-ray confirms the tubes are fully blocked, the method is considered 99.83 percent effective, National Public Radio (NPR) reports.
Women Have Attributed Health Problems to the Implant
Some studies suggest problems with Essure are relatively rare, but thousands of women have attributed health problems to the implant. Among the more serious concerns are unintended pregnancies and ectopic pregnancies. In an ectopic pregnancy, the embryo implants somewhere other than the uterus, and this can be life threatening. Women have also experienced migration of the device from the fallopian tubes, organ perforation, chronic pain, and allergic reaction to the nickel in the coils.
In a few cases, the coils have been expelled. Some women have had the coils removed to alleviate side effects. NPR reports that a Facebook group for Essure users has drawn thousands of posts from women who have experienced symptoms they attribute to the device.
In May, Bayer released data from a long-term study that it said supports the safety and efficacy of Essure. According to this study, the device caused pelvic pain in only 7 percent of participants in the study. But an article in the New York Times called the company's data into question. The Times cited a long-term trial published in the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology. Only 366 out of 518 original study participants were followed for the full five years, according to the Times. And women who were tracked cited a number of problems tied to the device, including unusually heavy periods and recurrent pelvic pain.
The FDA panel will gather scientific and clinical opinion on the risks and benefits of Essure, as well as comments and written testimony from women who have used Essure. The committee will evaluate the evidence about the safety and effectiveness of Essure, and will provide recommendations to the FDA about appropriate use of the device, product labeling, and the potential need for additional post-market clinical studies.
The panel meeting will be held at the FDA's campus in Silver Spring, Maryland and will be open to the public.

My past childcare experience: I am interested in an opportunity to become a full time or part time nanny for your family! I have worked with infants to preteens so my experience has a wide range; from preparing bottles and changing diapers, to picking up from school and driving to scheduled activities. I am certified in CPR and first aid and also have completed an early childhood development course. I'm looking for a family I can grow with and to provide the children with a caring atmosphere. I'd like to maintain a clean, safe environment for your children and also encourage learning and guided discipline while still having fun of course! I am able to prepare balanced meals and clean up the children's daily messes before you arrive home, also willing to complete light housekeeping and errands upon request. I've discovered families love the idea of a daily journal entry of the day's activities; such as naps, meals, structured learning or accomplishments! I feel comfortable watching multiples and multitasking, caring for a few different aged children at once.

THE independent body that ensures there are enough doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers to meet the nation's needs could be axed in the upcoming Federal Budget, costing about 100 jobs in Adelaide.
The medical fraternity fears that Health Workforce Australia will be absorbed into the federal heath department after the Abbott Government has failed to reappoint board members or a permanent chief executive.
READ MORE: Tony Abbott on notice over paid parental leave plan
TELL US: Do you feel the federal budget will be harsh on low income earners?
The Adelaide-based body was established in 2010 after a Productivity Commission report recommended one be set up because there were significant healthcare workforce deficiencies.
It employs 130 people, mostly in Adelaide, but there are only four appointed board members out of a possible 13. Last year, staff salaries amounted to more than $15 million.
Opposition health parliamentary secretary Amanda Rishworth said the Abbott Government has
demonstrated it was not taking health workforce planning seriously, failing to recruit a permanent chief executive or appoint new board members.
"Furthermore, funds have been frozen within HWA since the election which were earmarked for programs such as support for clinical training," Ms Rishworth said.
"The Coalition's lack of interest in HWA and the programs it delivers is clearly on display."
A spokeswoman for Health Minister Peter Dutton said issues relating to the Budget would be announced on May 13 when the Budget is released.
Australian Medical Association vice president Professor Geoffrey Dobb said the state of the board and executive staff was concerning because it indicated the government was intending to cut it.
"The work that's already been done by HWA illustrates that the medical workforce is a very complex one with long lead times for training, so without proper planning there is a risk Australia will have the wrong sort of medical specialists for the future — or the wrong balance between GPs and other specialists," he said.
"Unless there is a co-ordinating body, the health system is likely to end up in trouble.
"If it were to be subsumed back into the Health Department in Canberra, issues relevant to individual states and territories might not be considered with the same balance as they are in current arrangement."
University of Adelaide health sciences executive dean Professor Justin Beilby said workforce planning must remain outside of the Health Department to ensure a strategic national approach and avoid combative state and federal government negotiations.
"All the rungs gained ... will be lost," he said.
State Health Minister Jack Snelling said the Adelaide staff had been left waiting nervously.
"What we can expect if all these rumours are to be believed is South Australians will be paying more for healthcare and receiving less," he said.

An influence-peddling scandal that began in New York, but is now expanding to other states, broadened Thursday as authorities brought criminal charges against a Dallas executive whose firm advises some of the country's biggest public pension funds.
Saul Meyer, the 38-year-old managing partner of Aldus Equity Partners, was arraigned in Manhattan on charges that he violated state business law.
Prosecutors said Meyer helped his firm land a deal to manage $175 million in New York public pension fund assets by paying $300,000 in kickbacks to an aide to the state's former comptroller.
Court papers said that when Aldus wanted an additional $200 million from the fund, Meyer curried additional favor by arranging for the comptroller's son to get $250,000 in fees on an unrelated investment deal with a public pension fund it advised in New Mexico.
Meyer flew from Texas to New York to surrender to authorities. He was released on $200,000 bail and flew home. His lawyer, Paul Shechtman, said his client is innocent.
"The time and the evidence will show that Saul Meyer did nothing wrong," he said.
Meyer is the fifth person charged in a two-year probe led by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo involving allegations that several investment companies paid millions of dollars in kickbacks to political figures to obtain pension fund business.
Some of the firms that made payments now under scrutiny include the Carlyle Group, one of the nation's biggest private equity firms, and the Quadrangle Group, a private equity firm founded by Steven Rattner, the head of the Obama administration's auto industry task force.
So far, Cuomo's probe has focused on deals struck at New York's $122 billion state pension fund during the tenure of former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi, but he signaled Thursday that the investigation had raised suspicions of wrongdoing elsewhere.
"I believe we are disclosing a national network of actors who often acted in concert and did this all across the country," Cuomo said.
He said his investigators were passing information to law enforcement agencies in several states and that more people and companies could face charges soon.
Asked if Rattner or other investment executives could be among those charged, Cuomo would only say, "stay tuned."
"Just because a company hasn't been charged yet, it doesn't mean it wont be charged," he said.
Aldus Equity has denied any wrongdoing. It released a statement Thursday expressing solidarity with Meyer.
"At Aldus, we can't begin to describe our disappointment and astonishment regarding the unexpected legal developments in New York today," it said. "Our heart goes out to Saul and his family during this unsettling time."
It is not illegal per se for companies to pay politically connected "placement agents" for help obtaining business from the government, but some public pension funds require those arrangements to be disclosed. The payments also cannot be made as a cover for outright bribes.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed court papers Thursday charging Meyer and Aldus with regulatory violations, saying the payments they made to Hevesi political aide Hank Morris amounted to "sham fees."
Prosecutors have described Morris as the driving force behind the scheme, saying he wielded tremendous influence over pension fund investments in New York, and let companies know they could be shut out of investment deals if they weren't willing to pay him.
In a court filing, Cuomo's office said one hedge fund manager involved in the scheme was asked to pass a message from Morris when Meyer got cold feet about their fee arrangement.
"Tell that little peanut of a man that I can take the business away as easily as I provided it," Morris said, according to authorities.
Morris was charged in March along with the retirement fund's former chief investment officer, David Loglisci.
Others swept up in the probe include Dallas businessman Barrett Wissman, who pleaded guilty to helping collect kickbacks for Morris. The former chairman of New York's now-defunct Liberal Party, Raymond Harding, has also been charged with accepting bogus "placement agent" fees in return for political favors.
Neither Hevesi nor his son, Daniel, who briefly worked as a placement agent while his father was in office, have been charged. Both have denied any wrongdoing.
An attorney for Aldus Equity, Matthew Orwig, said in a statement that the SEC's complaint was "appalling and careless."
The scandal quickly threatened to upend Aldus' business.
Deutsche Bank, which owns a minority stake in Aldus, said Thursday that it was pulling out of the company.
New Mexico's State Investment Council fired Aldus as its financial adviser Wednesday because of the concerns raised by the probe. The state's pension fund for public school employees has also suspended the firm and is scheduled to take a vote to fire it in June.
Together, the two funds had been paying Aldus $1.5 million per year to analyze possible investment deals.
Hevesi's successor in New York, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, announced Thursday that he had also ended the state's investment relationship with the company. New York City's comptroller has informed Cuomo's office that he intends to do the same.
Aldus also serves as an adviser to retirement systems managing the pension assets of government workers in San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and at the Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension, where SEC investigators have been seeking documents related to the company.

MaxWebSearch - How To Remove?
MaxWebSearch is a browser hijacker that replaces your preferred search engine, home page and new tab page with its own.

If you try to reset your Internet browser settings and apply another search engine, you will see no changes at the end. MaxWebSearch browser hijacker is programmed to protect the web addresses it promotes from being replaced with anything else. If more than one Internet browser is installed to your computer, unwanted redirections will affect all of them including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Although the search engine might look just like any other, the company behind it earns money for advertisements displayed. The difference from Google or Yahoo or similar legitimate search tools is that MaxWebSearch.com does not make it any different when displaying advertised sites together with the actual search results. When a person performs a search, she sees only a list of links and once she clicks on the one promoted, this generates money for MaxWebSearch.com owners. Moreover, this website does not take any responsibility for the third party promotions which means that after clicking a link you may easily be taken to a corrupted website and infect your computer with viruses.
Those that are concerned with their privacy will have one more reason for this browser hijacker's removal. The toolbar associated with it uses cookies and web beacons for collecting information about your Internet browsing habits. The data is used for displaying of targeted advertisements.
Constant redirections, a danger of getting infected with more viruses, breach of your privacy, unfair display of advertisements are more than enough reasons to wish to get rid of MaxWebSearch.com. Alas it is not as easy as it might seem. Browser hijackers and adware are programmed to be resistant to removal because the longer it stays on an infected computer the more money it earns for the owners of the application. Even if an uninstall wizard is included, it does not work properly and therefore redirections are not removed.
Most likely you will not see MaxWebSearch.com among Add and Remove Programs in Control Panel. If you do see it there, you may wish to remove it manually. After that uninstall all of unfamiliar browser extensions from all of the browsers you have in your computer. Yet if you want a quick and easy solution to the problem, you should use special antivirus tools, such as Spyhunter. The latter is effective with many browser hijackers and removes all of the files related to infection automatically. We recommend using this tool for several reasons: it might be that more than one unwanted application has been installed – Spyhunter will detect and remove them all; if any of viruses infected your computer and your current system security was deactivated, this tool will detect them as well. Please note, not all of antivirus programs can identify and delete this type of threats therefore if you use anything else, make sure it is capable of finding MaxWebSearch and any files related to it.

Film industry supporters will get the chance to have their voices heard at the second annual NC Film Rally
Film industry supporters will get the chance to have their voices heard at the second annual NC Film Rally, 5 p.m. Sunday, May 4, in downtown Wilmington.
Sponsored by the Wilmington Regional Film Commission and the North Carolina Production Alliance (NCPA), the rally will be located at Market and Water streets. Organizers are hoping to use the event to raise awareness of the impact the film industry has on the local economy and the importance of jobs the film industry provides.
The rally comes as the General Assembly is gearing up to begin its short session on May 14, during which time lawmakers will make a decision about whether or not to extend, alter or kill the state's film incentive, which offers qualifying productions a 25 percent refundable tax credit. The incentive program is set to expire at the end of the year.
"The rally is just the beginning of what we hope is a very successful legislative session," the NCPA said in a statement. "So many local families depend upon film for steady work, and this is a great opportunity to show the community that we value their support and recognize the hundreds of folks who want to get more involved."
Katy Feinberg, spokeswoman for the NCPA, confirmed that Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo, Sunny 104.5 FM's Sheila Brothers, representatives from EUE/Screen Gems Studios and local and state legislators will make appearances at the event. The NCPA is also hoping to include stars from the locally filmed TV series "Under the Domee" and "Sleepy Hollow."

Absolutely love your cat litter box liners
October 29, 2016
Purina Tidy Cats cat litter box liners are the best I've ever tried!!! They are very strong and have a nice scent that masks the odor. They are perfect for my needs in cleaning up after my 11 beautiful and loving cats.
Need your JUMBO liners.
April 18, 2016
I've been buying your products for going on 27 years. They're terrific. We adopted 2 new cats and bought all new litterboxes for them. They both have all their claws and only your bags will do. I need JUMBO liners, but cannot find them. Do you still make/sell them?
October 01, 2015
Disappointed- DOES NOT FIT!
August 30, 2015
I purchased the cat litter box liners, for the 15x18 inch box. THESE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT FIT THE SIZE INDICATED. The bags looked like trash bags you'd use in a bathroom waste basket. Luckily I had a smaller litter box for traveling. These 15x18 inch liners barely fit the 10x14 litter box. Kitty is going to need some good aim tonight till I can get her some larger liners... FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER... one that knows how to measure.
Opening on wrong side!
August 25, 2015
My usual brand of litter bags had been discontinued. I have used Tidy Cat litter for many years so I thought I would give the bags a try as well. The size of the Standard bag is 22 x 30 and is supposed to fit a 15 x 18 pan. When I pulled it out of the box, it looked like a tall kitchen garbage bag with the opening on the 22 inch side. Simple math tells you that will not fit int the litter pan specified. And the "light, fresh scent" is very overpowering! I will not be purchasing these again.
Love these!
August 01, 2015
I have been using these litter pan liners for over 20 years and love them. They are so much better than any other pan liners: stronger, more tear resistant, I love that the are scented and stand up to hard use. My only problem is finding them locally. I used to be able to get them at Target, but not any longer. Wish I could find them around here.
Great liner
June 04, 2015
Have ben using Tidy cat liners forever, and love them as the cats don't rip them as easily as the flimsy ones made by others. They are a good quality product, but the only problem I have is I can't get the Jumbo size in my area anymore. Doesn't seem logical to me the stores would sell the jumbo litter boxes and not the Jumbo liners, except the cheapy ones that tear easily. Please get them back to WM or Target stores!
works great have always used
April 18, 2015
Growing up my parents always used these for our cats and since moving out I have been using them for my cat Loki but I can't find then anywhere anymore everyone sells the litter but not the liners very frustrating as other bags do not hold up
jumbo's fit large boxes with ease
February 02, 2015
I really like the tidy cat jumbo liners; however I'm having a hard time locating them. None of the pet stores or grocery stores hear in Racine Wi carry them anymore. Litter-yes liners- no!
Great liners! Much better than what is out there.
January 13, 2015
When will they be available in stores again soon. The other products are inferior and don't fit correctly.

Johannesburg - A number of murder and kidnapping cases linked to suspended crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli are being investigated, some for the first time, according to a report on Wednesday.Included in the new investigations were the disappearance of people believed to be crime intelligence informants from Vosloorus on the East Rand more than 13 years ago, the Times newspaper reported.According to the newspaper a senior Hawks team had been ordered to probe the involvement of Mdluli and one of his co-accused in the murder case, Colonel Nkosana Ximba.Over the past few months investigators had been gathering evidence and compiling dockets, including taking statements from families of the missing people, victims and police officers who worked with Mdluli and Ximba when they were stationed in Vosloorus.One of the cases being investigated was the disappearance of two men from their homes in Vosloorus in 1998.Lunga Khumalo and Thulani Shoba, aged 21 and 24 respectively at the time, were last seen by relatives when Ximba allegedly picked them up from their homes in a police car. Their families had been pleading for help in finding their sons for years, to no avail.Unnamed "sources close to the investigations" were quoted as saying that it was "a matter of time" before more criminal activity was uncovered.Mdluli and three others were expected to go on trial in the High Court in Johannesburg in April next year on charges of intimidation, kidnapping, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder.They are accused of involvement in a decade-old love triangle murder. Mdluli faces an additional charge of defeating or obstructing the course of justice.
This shouldn't come as a suprise, usually people in that position have a tendency of abusing the power of their position.
well he most properly got some tips from the old security police
they also picked up and never dropped off again
Perhaps he received "on the job" training in crime "intelligence" ... :)
What we have seen and what has been revealed, is only the "ears of the hippo"- and that is enough to make any thinking person, sick.(even the non thinking)
No wonder crime is out of hand in RSA! Our top cops involved in murders, drug cartels and fraud! Heaven help us!
How did Mdludi get the appointment in the first place?
Through a friend of a friend of the then President!
This guy needs to be caged and put on display.
Yesterday or the day before, a young would-be thief was assaulted by a crowd; only surviving because he was rescued by the police. There are other similar incidents of vigilantism - 2 thieves thrown off a cliff, etc, - that make heartening reading. Heartening only because it means the people are tired of the ineffectual police and thereby the government. When they will make their dissatisfaction of the anc known, by not voting for them, remains to be seen, but more incidents of vigilantism are going to occur. My question is this: why do these vigilantes not aim for the real criminals and dispense some justice their way? This Mduli could do with a good old-fashioned sjambokking in public. And then, as a public official he would be tarred and feathered, then hanged for the crime of murder. Why do the common people pick on their peers and not on their so-called leaders? Because, they admire a fat-cat in a suit, driving a fancy car and they aspire to be that person, regardless of how that person achieved its wealth. Only when the `majority voters' of this country have opened their eyes and shed their ignorance, shall this country be on track to be civilised once more.
he ran his department like a fiefdom. absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Does ANC has real leadership?

Monday morning was a little sad for me. Tour over. Friends had travelled back to London. I didn't let that stop me from trying to see as much of central Edinburgh as I could before heading to the airport at noon.
I strolled around the corner to The Elephant House, a quaint inner city cafe that earned notoriety as the birthplace of Harry Potter. I order a peppermint tea and a plate of pancakes to enjoy while thinking about J.K. writing that illustrious series. Wondering if I could discipline myself to write more than a blog now and then. There was a young woman writing in the window at one point; perhaps hoping lightening will strike twice on the same forehead? I left with perhaps the only, and most amazing, bathroom selfie I shall ever take. Aside from the banner out front, having a 'very important bathroom' is the only other way the cafe acknowledges its wizarding roots.
A few doors down the road from the cafe is the graveyard where J.K. Rowling found inspiration for some of her famous characters. Most notably, Tom Riddle – Voldemort). Greyfriars Kirk would be creepy in winter if it were not right next to a wonderfully noisy school.
The path down to the Riddle grave is well trodden. Grass has no chance here. Quite a few pilgrims made their way here while I was in the graveyard. They'd arrive, take a picture and leave. I watched this recipe for about fifteen minutes before heading on.
I walked back up towards the Royal Mile with a mind to stroll down one side and back up the other when I came across a couple of eagle owls! This one, I was told, is only 10 months old! The beautiful birds were attracting a lot of attention from passers-by.
When I reached the bottom of the Royal Mile (the Holyroodhouse end) I decided to have a go at view hunting up Arthur's Seat. I only got half way up before running out of time (and energy) and turned back for the aircoach. Sad to leave Edinburgh and holidays behind me – until I leave for Morocco in April.
No official tours were scheduled for the day I was in town. In case you're left in the lurch as well, I've made a wee map of the stroll I did. Left at 9.30 am from the hostel and reached my bus stop at about 1.30 pm.

Golf has come a long way since it was first developed in the 1800s. The game has become more sophisticated over the years, with courses becoming tougher and technologies becoming more advanced. At the same time, more people are getting engaged in the game and competitions are becoming better and stronger. One of the things that sped up the evolution of the game of golf is the technology involved in the equipment. One piece of equipment in particular that benefited from technological advances are golf clubs. This article will put this evolution to perspective.
The real origins of golf are being disputed by a number of historians. The earliest signs of the game are traced in China. In the game of Chui wan, balls are hit into holes using clubs that are bejeweled. Clubs being excavated are believed to have been developed anywhere between the 9th and 12th centuries. The first evidence of modern golf is seen in Europe in the 14th century. While evidences of the game can also be seen in the Netherlands, it is Scotland that is credited for creating golf as we know it. As for the clubs, the material of choice back in the day is wood.
When golf made its way to the United States in the 1800s, the game was developed further. Together with this development, the sophistication of golf clubs also significantly increased. During this time, the most common wood used to construct these clubs is wood from hickory trees. In the same century, golfers also recognized that the head, the part that strikes the ball, should be made of a harder material both for propelling the ball far and for longer durability. Because of this, persimmon, a harder, denser kind of wood, is used for creating the heads.
It won't be long before steel, the most basic material used for making golf clubs nowadays, is incorporated into the construction. It first started with the heads with the development of drop forging technology. With drop forging, mass produced steel heads became possible. It won't be long until steel actually makes it as a component in shafts. In 1931, Billy Burke won the US Open while using steel-shafted clubs that are painted to resemble wood. It has given him a major advantage as steel is more durable and relays force to the ball more efficiently.
By 1939, it has been mandated that golfers can only carry up to 14 clubs with him/her in a single round. This is considered a huge shift at the time, as a number of golfers use up to 30 different kinds of clubs back in the day. This development's direct benefit is that the contents of a golfer's bag are drastically reduced. At the same time, it forced the makers to create a standard in which clubs are made. This is the time when particular parameters for the crafting of drivers, irons, wedges, and putters have been established. It also paved the way for the creation of hybrid clubs.
Since the 1950s, golf club makers have dabbled with the technology of golf clubs with the aim of improving its performance. Thru various adjustments, they allowed golfers to strike the ball with higher strength and accuracy. Lightweight components such as aluminum and graphite became feasible alternatives for steel, especially for women and the elderly. Later on, advanced materials such as carbon fiber and composite resin made it to the construction of golf clubs. Even the weight distribution of the club construction has been tinkered to help the golfer hit his/her target straight. Nowadays, clubs that have adaptable heads are currently being developed.
With people's knowledge of the game and technology expanding, there are more technologies that are expected to come in the horizon. In the aim to be the best, club makers would put all the stops to ensure theirs are the best golf clubs on the market. Of course, the biggest winners of this continuing evolution are the players.

Motilal Oswal has maintained neutral rating on Reliance Communications with a target of Rs 96, in its January 21, 2013 research report.
Motilal Oswal has maintained neutral rating on Reliance Communications with a target of Rs 96, in its January 21, 2013 research report.
"Recent meeting with RCom's wireless business CEO Mr Gurdeep Singh reaffirmed our view that focus on RPM and profitability improvement has increased across operators. As mentioned in our telecom sector report "Consolidation, pricing improvement inevitable; increased focus on profitability" dated January 7, 2013, voice pricing improvement is likely the only major lever available for the industry given high leverage, tapering traffic growth and significant spectrum liabilities. RCom's wireless RPM has been steady over the past 10 quarters. Sustained industry-wide RPM improvement would require lowering of RPM discount for challengers v/s the leader in the respective circles."
"Company has identified its "3G 900" and "3G metro" circles as pockets of strategic strength (account for ~50% of its wireless revenue). In "3G 900" circles, RCom has ~13% adjusted gross revenue (AGR) market share vs 10% in "3G metro" and ~6% in the balance. Post continued decline in AGR share, RCom gained ~100bp during 1HFY13 to reach 7.7% in 2QFY13. Key focus areas for cost reduction include network costs, subscriber acquisition, and employee costs. Management outlined plans for reduction in network costs by 10-12% and lowering subscriber acquisition/employee costs. Our estimates imply 5% opex CAGR over FY13E-15E."
"RCom has low spectrum liability (~INR37b) and high sensitivity to RPM improvement but high leverage remains a concern. Given initiatives on market share improvement and cost reduction, coupled with expected industrywide RPM improvement, we upgrade FY14/15 EBITDA by 7%/12% (FY13-15E EBITDA CAGR of 13%) and TP from INR79 to INR96 based on 6x FY15E EV/EBITDA. Neutral," says Motilal Oswal research report.
