Criminals & Taxation
September 2, 2017Posted by on
This week on Facebook: Sometime in July I read that the fraud scandal carried out at Lloyds bank took the police six years to investigate at a cost £7 million (excluding the cost of the trial). The case was dealt with by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) which, regardless of its successes and failures, as part of the public sector, has an impact on a seemingly inexorable budget deficit. It was only casually reading about the Lloyds bank case that I decided to research some of the government's financial losses¹ for which no one, and especially not a politician or apparently any other public servant is ever held responsible. Certainly some investigative journalism usually results in a story reaching the public, it may even create a furore for a time, but the government know that any furore will eventually subsided and its cause forgotten. Yet if you are taxpayer, and even if you are not, any financial loss by the government has an impact on your well being. For a right or left leaning government, such financial losses become an excuse for increasing government debt and austerity measures. Read more of this post
Aasof on Essays

This week on Facebook: Following last week's offering on books I have turned to essays this week and finding myself with too many articles my week on Facebook has forced me to make another choice. The week is given over mainly to articles from contemporary female essayists with one male contributor, whose article on Monday — Why the essay still matters — begins this week on Facebook. Essayist Christy Wampole begins the female contributions on Tuesday with — The Essayification of Everything — in what the New York Times classifies as a blog. Wampole writes: It seems that, even in the proliferation of new forms of writing and communication before us, the essay has become a talisman of our times. What is behind our attraction to it? Is it the essay's therapeutic properties? Because it brings miniature joys to its writer and its reader? Because it is small enough to fit in our pocket, portable like our own experiences?

This week on Facebook: Follows on from the one I posted last week on cartoons and being more than just cartoons, I deciding to put the 35 funniest cartoons about ebooks and digital reading here. The access to books and ebooks¹²³ these days is phenomenal, but I do remember when it wasn't always so and conditional on access to a good library. With technology offering access to digitised books through websites like Project Gutenberg, The Library of Congress and Project Muse, a new world has been opened. But where to start this post? Perhaps the blacklisting of Winnie the Pooh in China is a good place, especially as the article was really an homage to the bicentennial of Jane Austen's death. Read more of this post
Aasof on Cartoons
August 5, 2017Posted by on
This week on Facebook: This week's post on cartoons is prompted by Monday's article on Peanuts Philosophies but if you click on the link Charles Schulz claims that it was humour and not philosophy that led to the creation of his cartoon characters in Peanuts. I hold the view that a cartoonist must also be a philosopher, perhaps even (as one cartoonist claims) an epistemologist. I intended a single post on literature but when, like Topsy, it had grown to include cartoons, books, essays and poetry I decided to spend a week on each of them all. This week is cartoons and includes those that have historically appeared in newspapers or satirical magazines, it also includes a talk on the history of British cartoons and caricature.

A Quality of Life
July 29, 2017Posted by on
This week on Facebook: I was going to add a comment to Colin's remark that life without quality of life has no value, instead it made wonder what was meant by a quality of life. The remark was made in response to Charles' post Do English Courts Really Believe in the Sanctity of Life? It seems to me that the sanctity of life and the quality of life are both ethical issues in which some may find, or seek, a correlation. However, I found that the sanctity of life focused more on a spiritual connection, which certainly lead to a personal view. A search for a quality of life was more objective but the questions raised could apply to either. Read more of this post
The Deep State & War
July 22, 2017Posted by on
This week on Facebook: I returned to the subject of the Deep State, prompted by three posts on The Burning Platform. It's difficult not to become a conspiracy theorist when reading articles on the internet, to the point at which I no longer know if I am one or not. I know that I tend to focus on those articles that support my particular views, whether or not they lead me to support a conspiratorial view is something that I'm unsure about. I post those articles that I think have at least some truth to them, and the notion of a Deep State is one of them. The problem comes in discerning the truth, which means usually widening a search of the internet, but searching for the truth on the internet is akin to searching for the holy grail.

SAN DIEGO Buster Poseys voice remained raspy one dayafter taking a ball off his throat, but hes in the lineup to catch MadisonBumgarner Saturday night at Petco Park.
Why is Posey killing himself down the stretch when theGiants have clinched already?
Why am I killing myself? Posey said, smiling. I'm notdoing it on purpose.
There is no questioning Poseys toughness after he shook offa pregame stomach ailment, remained in the game following the scary ball offhis larynx, caught all nine innings and also hustled on two extra-base hits towiden his lead in the NL batting race.
But when it comes to plays at the plate, Posey isntbudging. Asked if he would position himself less conservatively in theplayoffs, even blocking the dish when necessary, the probable NL MVP said hewouldnt change what hes done in the regular season.
I dont think you change something youve been doing allyear, Posey told me. Id say no.
And I didnt Ive never sat in front of the plate. Ididnt do that before I got hurt. So it wouldnt be normal for me to startdoing that, blocking like that.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy is just fine with that, too.
We dont want to change anything about how we play the gamein the playoffs, Bochy told me. We want these guys to play the game hard andright, and Buster makes a great point. Hes got to do what is comfortable.
Even before his season-ending collision at the plate on May25 last season, Bochy had forbidden Posey from blocking the plate. It made nodifference that night against the Florida Marlins, when the throw from rightfield beat baserunner Scott Cousins to the plate and he delivered a targeted,shoulder-to-shoulder hit that bowled over Posey, fracturing his leg and rippingthree ankle ligaments.
RELATED: Posey loses voice but not ground in batting race
During the spring, Bochy and bullpen catcher Bill Hayesworked with Posey on positioning in fair territory and reaching back to makeswipe tags. Its something Posey did in the past, but he has been even moreconservative with his positioning this season. A handful of runs might havebeen prevented if Posey had set himself up nearer to the dish.
Its been an adjustment, and not so much on Busters partas much as for the rest of us, Bochy said. Sure, a couple times he said hegot distracted where he was and got out in front a little more. But we saw whatlife was like without him. Its risk vs. reward.
And you know, that play, you dont get a lot of em. Youcan practice it, but its still so hard to simulate a play like that.
They do happen, though and as J.T. Snow and PudgeRodriguez can attest, sometimes they happen with the outcome of a postseasonseries hanging in the balance. The Giants won 100 regular-season games in 2003only to get bounced in the first round when Rodriguez held onto the ball afterSnow plowed into him.
Backup catcher Hector Sanchez has saved more than a coupleof runs this season while blocking the plate, too.
None of this is to suggest that Posey is incapable ofplaying his position. In fact, just last week, he made a terrific pickup ofshortstop Brandon Crawfords relay throw and applied a deft tag.
The throw will take you from certain spots, Posey said. Themain thing is to stay light on your feet and try to be in the best position youcan.
Posey said other than his voice, he felt fine and saw noreason to sit out Saturdays game. Its his last opportunity to catch Bumgarnerbefore theyd work together in the postseason. (Game 2 remains the best guess.)
He said he was in discomfort for roughly three innings aftertaking the ball to the throat. He also showed that his sense of humor is inbetter shape than his voice.
Asked if he had any trouble breathing after the impact, hesmiled and said, I dont believe I wouldve stayed in if I couldnt breathe.
Xavier Nady is getting another start in left field against aleft-handed pitcher. Not only did he take some good swings Friday night anddemonstrate an improved hamstring while hitting his first triple since 2008,but he also made a nice catch on left field after going back aggressively onthe ball.
Happy birthday to Giants third base coach Tim Flannery. Idont know many 55-year-olds who can scamper down the line like he can.

KACE or Sysprep is breaking Office (specifically Outlook)
We use VMware to build our images, and then we sysprep them and upload them to the k2000. However, we put Microsoft Office 2010 on our image to speed the post-image process along. I'm not sure why, but whenever we open Outlook after deploying an image, we get the "upgrade in progress" error, where we are told we have to "upgrade outlook connector". We've been just doing a repair of office and moving on, but I'd like to get it sorted out as to why this is happening. The image is fine before we upload it and deploy it.
0 Comments [ + ] Show Comments
How are you installing Office?
You should be using the office customization tool (setup.exe /admin) to create an msp and then install Office using that file (setup.exe /adminfile "file")
We install Office on our image using this method and never had a problem.
Answered 12/16/2015 by: h2opolo25
Please log in to comment
I configured and installed office with a .msp file, but the issue is still happening. Something between sysprep, the upload to the k2000, or the download to the computer is causing office to break somehow. We have "copy profile" chosen in the answer file as well, I know some people stated that could be an issue.

Throughout history, economic and social development have gone hand in hand with infrastructure development, be it the road networks and sanitation advances of the Romans (what did they do for us?), the Silk Road, or the maritime advances which led to the age of exploration and resulting global trade. Our modern era has been similarly transformed by the availability of energy, electronic communications, and modern travel which have made the world a much smaller place.
However, the amount which we spend on infrastructure has gradually been falling as a percentage of GDP, and, while there are justifications for this, the stock of infrastructure compared to global GDP has fallen.
At the same time, there is an enormous social need for infrastructure investment. Over 1.5 billion people have no access to electricity; just under 1 billion still live without safe drinking water, and over 2.5 billion are without access to basic sanitation. If the UN are right, and we need to accommodate an additional 1.5 billion people in the next 20 years, most of whom will be in emerging markets, and most of them in infrastructure-heavy urban centers, then there will be an ever more pressing need for infrastructure investment.
The global economy though seems mired in a period of sluggish growth. With interest rates close to zero, or in some cases negative in real terms, and the bazooka of QE already widely deployed, policymakers are running out of monetary levers to pull. This leaves us with the potential of fiscal stimulus, one aspect of which is infrastructure spending which can boost growth using both short-term demand effects, and longer-term supply effects, with the so-called multiplier effect implying that, if done correctly, the resulting GDP boost is larger than the initial investment.
However, developed market governments find themselves with debt at typically 100% of GDP, and hence limited capacity to spend, and, while emerging markets are less indebted at 40%, they are reluctant to boost debt and place sovereign ratings at risk. Traditional sources of infrastructure finance such as banks find themselves constrained by regulations such as Basel III, while insurance companies are constrained by Solvency II. Two factors, however, offer an enormous opportunity for the world. Firstly, governments can borrow at historically low rates (if not for free) for incredibly long durations. Perhaps most importantly, though, and the focus of this report, is the potential offered by private sector investment.
Returns on equities and bonds have in recent years been at historic lows, and Investors are crying out for yield, in particular for long-dated, stable cashflows and income streams. Infrastructure assets lend themselves perfectly to this need, with often predictable operating characteristics, and very long, multi-decade, useful lives.
Moreover, the scale of the opportunity is vast — we estimate a global need for infrastructure spending of $58.6 trillion over the next 15 years. In this report we examine why now could be the time for a global infrastructure push, and where the most exciting opportunities are by region and industry. Most importantly, though, with a need for infrastructure from a social and economic perspective and with funding keen to participate, we examine why it isn't happening, and what stakeholders, both government and financial, need to do to make it happen.
We are faced with a rare opportunity to create and grow a new asset class, build a better world that is fit for the future, and create millions of jobs in the process; and who knows, we may just kick-start the global economy in the process.
The Case for Infrastructure
What exactly is infrastructure? We all use it every day, but rarely stop to think about it. As Margaret Thatcher once put it, "You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure."
Infrastructure is not a term that's very well defined, which is the first problem for the industry. Our attempt to define it would be to say that infrastructure refers to the assets that allow the efficient operation of economies and societies, and are an important driver of productivity (i.e., the amount of output we get, measured in GDP or its elements, per unit of input, such as labor or capital).
It is usually split into four main areas of activity, namely:
- Transportation – including rail, road, air, airports, maritime, and ports.
- Telecommunications – encompassing fixed line networks, broadband networks, mobile networks (including towers), and satellite networks.
- Energy – including electricity generation, transmission, distribution, storage, and for oil & gas, upstream activities, refining, conversion, transportation, and distribution and storage, as well as coal mines, nuclear facilities, renewable assets, etc.
- Water & Sanitation – assets such as water treatment facilities and distribution networks, wastewater collection and treatment, sanitation, irrigation, and potentially broader waste collection and treatment.
That list alone captures an enormous amount of activities, but should we include educational infrastructure such as schools, healthcare institutions such as hospitals (that's still the easy bit), social housing, before we even start to think about government buildings, let alone the quality of the judiciary and government?
For the purposes of this economically-focused report we will limit ourselves to the four key sectoral groups, given our focus on economics, financing, and facilitating private sector investment, as it is most applicable to these areas.
Historic spending
If we start by looking at what we have spent on infrastructure historically, one thing becomes very clear: considerably fewer resources are devoted to infrastructure today than was the case in the past.
This is true both in advanced and emerging economies, as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2. These charts adapt a methodology used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to calculate the real stock of public capital. That stock has fallen from an early-1980s peak of almost 75% of GDP to just below 60% today. In emerging economies, the stock has fallen from a late-80s peak of around 130% GDP to a level nearer 90% today.

25 Popular Girl Names From Australia's Top 100 List
- In: Baby Names
When looking for baby names, moms draw inspiration from a ton of places. Friends, family, and pop culture influence what we name our children, and naming a child is one of the first important choices we make for them. It's a good idea to search everywhere for the right fit, and lists from all over the world offer names that are trending.
If mom knows the sex of her little one, she can narrow down her search. Even if mom and dad choose to wait on finding out the sex, it's a good idea to know what names are possibilities for both genders. Having a first and middle name chosen in advance helps parents knock out an essential task early on.
From unisex names to super girly monikers, lists for baby girls are full of choices that will help mom and dad find the right match. The Australian Top 100 List is extremely diverse and offers short names or long choices, old favorites making comebacks and new names that are hot on the current scene.
The laid back vibe of the land down under means all of these girl names carry an air of casual cool. The waves, the beach, and the outback conjure images of nature and beauty unparalleled, and the names that are popular for girls right now reflect that beauty.
From A-Z, these names offer a variety of meanings and history, and moms within or outside of Australia can claim the right one for their little girl.
25 Aaliyah
Making the list at number 93, Aaliyah is a distinctly female name meaning "heavens" or "exalted". This name is ideal for the parents who want a name that lifts their daughter up and also has spiritual connections.
Aaliyah is derived from Arabic and is a form of the name Aliya. It is said to be take from the male name Ali or Aali. The more complicated spelling that appears on Australia's list is probably due to the popularity of singer Aaliyah Haughton, the American hip hop singer who tragically died in a plane crash in 2001.
This name comes in at number 48 in the United States. Though it's fair for a parent to assume their child will have to deal with people misspelling this name regularly, the name is feminine and strong with an uplifting meaning any little girl would love. It's also still unique enough to stand out.
24 Alice
Everyone has heard the name Alice, but that doesn't mean it's lost its appeal. In Australia, this name lands at number 37, and in the United States it sits at number 87 making it a top 100 name in at least two countries. The name means "noble", and it is said to be derived from either German or English.
The most frequent Alice that pops to mind is of course Lewis Carroll's fictional character from Alice in Wonderland. However, Alice is not only a popular name for fictional characters but a popular moniker for phenomenal writers. Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones, and Alice Walker, critically acclaimed author The Color Purple, both have the name. If mom and dad are into literature or have literary dreams for their daughter, this name may bring some luck.
Though Alice is generally assumed to be girl's name, singer Alice Cooper also shares the moniker.
23 Alyssa
This feminine name has Hebrew origins and means "joy" or "great happiness", the perfect descriptor for any little girl. Australians used this name enough to land it at number 65 on the top 100 list, and in the United States it just makes the top 100 names at number 93.
A variation on the names Alice and Alicia, Alyssa can be spelled a variety of ways though it still maintains the same pronunciation. Parents who are fond of flowers might enjoy the fact that this name is connected to the flower called an alyssum, a small plant that blooms in a variety of colors.
Child star and breastfeeding advocate, Alyssa Milano, has this name, and her continued time in the spotlight has kept the name common in pop culture. For parents who want a recognizable name that is not heard all of the time, Alyssa may be a good choice. It's also a great middle name since it is strong but has the easy lulling sound that makes it a good connector.
22 Amelia
Amelia is one of the most popular names for girls on many continents right now. Coming in at number 3 in Australia, it holds the number 12 spot in the United States, and it is also popular in England. Parents in Scotland and Poland are also quite fond of it, so a parent who chooses this name will have to go in aware that their daughter will share it with women across the world. It's very likely that Amelias will have classmates who share their name.
Derived from German and meaning "work", this name often brings to mind tragic flight heroine, Amelia Earhart. The character, Amelia Bedelia, from the beloved children's series of the same name has also kept the name circulating, and there are many literary characters who have this name.
A nickname is the strong, short Amy, though Amelia is short enough not to particularly need a nickname. As long as parents are okay with this name saturating the market, Amelia is a strong girl's name that is also ultra feminine.
21 Audrey
The name Audrey summons the idea of old-school glamour via Audrey Hepburn, the famous actress and Nazi resister from the 20th century. The name means "noble strength" and is derived from English. Audrey comes in at number 40 on Australia's list and number 37 in the United States.
This name also has a spiritual connection since a saint in the 500s carried the moniker. Shakespeare even used the name in his play As You Like It.
This name is easy to spell and pronounce, and though it is growing more common, it never loses its classic, stand-out beauty. Audrey can be paired with a more unique middle name, and it goes with pretty much any surname. It's unclear whether this name will continue its climb up the list of popular names or will make its way back down, but either way, those who like classy names with simple style will do well to choose Audrey.
20 Billie
Another name that harkens to the days of the early 20th century is Billie. At 82 on Australia's list, this unisex name brings to mind Billie Holiday, the jazz singer whose full name was Eleanor. In fact, most parents use the name Billie as a nickname for other names, such as Wilhelmina, Bertha, or even Mary.
With an English origin that means "resolute strength", just like the male name William, Billie has moved from being a male name to now being primary female. Even the writers of Michael Jackson's hit song, "Billie Jean" recognized this.
Some consider this a name for tomboys, those girls who enjoy digging in the dirt as much or more than playing with dolls. However, Billie is a great name for any girl, and the ie spelling gives it a feminine allure, like the female version of Charlie with the ie.
19 Charlotte
Coming in at number 1 on Australia's top 100 list is Charlotte, a name now known for being the name of Prince William's daughter. Charlotte is a feminine version of Charles and means "free man". It's a French name that comes in at number 9 in the United States.
Charlotte has been immortalized in literature by E.B. White who gave the spider that was the heroine of the story, Charlotte's Web, this name. Charlotte Bronte is also a famous Charlotte, and on a lighter note, one of the four female protagonists in the HBO series Sex and the City was named Charlotte.
Lottie works as a nickname for Charlotte, though it doesn't require one. Though it's a long name, it's simple to recognize and pronounce.
Charlotte has had connections to the royal family since at least the late 1700s, and it's a great moniker for any little princess.
18 Evie
Evie, like its origin name Eve, means "life", and it is a spinoff of the name of the first woman on earth. Evie is at number 16 on Australia's list, though in the United States it only ranks in the top 600.
It's possible for mom and dad to choose to name their daughter Eve, Eva, or Evelyn and use Evie as a nickname, but many countries let the name Evie stand on its own. It has cinematic connections through Natalie Portman's character in V is for Vendetta and Rachel Weiss' in The Mummy.
This name comes from Hebrew and has obvious Biblical connections. There's always the connection to the fall of man, but the first woman was also a strong female figure who walked in the Garden of Eden. Though children may be surrounded by classmates and friends who share this name or some form of it, Evie is still the perfect feminine pick for any little lady.
17 Frankie
Another unisex pick making a big splash in Australia but not in the United States is Frankie. Coming from the name Frances, this name is now number 68 on Australia's list while barely breaking into the top 1000 in the United States. Actress Drew Barrymore may change that now that the trendsetter has named her daughter Frankie.
England and Wales have caught onto the allure of this moniker, and it ranks high in both places. Frankie means "from France" or "free man". Those with the name Frankie can go by Fran or Franny, though the name doesn't particularly need a nickname.
For parents who want a unisex name that is spunky and unique, Frankie is a good choice. However, for parents who want their child's name to perfectly express their gender, Frankie may not be a good choice. While it is rising as a girl's name in areas of the world, in other countries it is just as likely to be a boy's name as a girl's.
16 Hannah
Another Biblical name is Hannah, and for parents who love letter play and might enjoy a palindrome, Hannah is spelled the same way backwards as it is forwards.
Hannah is a Hebrew baby name meaning "favor" or "grace", and the Biblical Hannah was a woman of God who gave birth to the prophet Samuel and gave him up to be raised by the high priest, Eli.
This name comes in at number 29 in Australia and number 28 in the United States, and it has been further popularized by the Disney show Hannah Montana starring Miley Cyrus. Those who watch the series Girls will also recognize it as the name of the character Lena Dunham plays.
This name can be spelled without the h on the end or with only one n. It's an extremely popular name that never really goes out of style, making it classic but slightly overused.
15 Harper
Harper was known primarily as a surname for years, but it moved into first name territory as a male name before completely disappearing. When it came back in the 21st century, it had evolved into a unisex name and is now number 10 for girls in the United States and number 19 in Australia.
Harper Lee, the famous writer of To Kill a Mockingbird, helped make this name a first name, though it was actually her middle name. The name means "harp player" and is derived from English. Famous celebrity pair, The Beckham's, chose the name for their daughter, and the name appears in the TV show Gossip Girls.
Since this name is on the rise, parents who want something a bit more unique should look elsewhere. However, for those parents who can't resist the literary connection and the simple charm of the name, Harper is a great choice. Like in the case of Harper Lee, this name can be a middle name connector, and it goes well with other names.
14 Indiana
Remembered as the hero played by Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movies or as the Midwestern state in America, Indiana has hopped out of the mold and landed squarely on Australia's list of popular girl names. It comes in at number 56 and has no meaning but is simply recognized as a place name due to the state and to the country, India.
This name is quirky when used for girls, and that's a good thing. Surprising yet simple, Indiana has plenty of nickname options like Indy or Ana. For parents who have a personal connection to Indiana or India, it can serve as a meaningful moniker with a story behind it. Even for those who have never been to either place, it's a unique choice sure to start conversations.
For the parents who want a recognizable word but surprising name, Indiana is a solid choice.
13 Isla
Isla means "island" and either has a Scottish or Spanish origin. Pronounced eye-la with a long I sound, this name is number 14 on Australia's list, though it only barely lands in the top 150 in the United States.
There is a river name Islay in Scotland, so parents who want a connection to nature can find it here. Isla Fisher, actress and wife of actor Sasha Baron Cohen, wears this name proudly, so it offers a celebrity connection as well.
Though many people haven't seen the naming market saturated with this choice, that could change in the future. The ultra-feminine, simple moniker is skyrocketing in many countries, so parents who opt for this name have to understand that it will be duplicated plenty.
Any family who loves the islands will probably be drawn to this name. It's also a great name for a baby as well as a woman, a simple name that grows with a child into womanhood.
12 Layla
Layla holds the number 35 place on Australia's top 100 list for girls, and in the United States the name is number 30. Made popular by the Eric Clapton song of the same name, Layla can also be spelled Laila or Leila.
This name is from Arabic and means "night", so parents with a nocturnal obsession might find it alluring. It's also known to mean "wine" "intoxication", and "dark beauty", the last the most appropriate for a little girl. Like many popular girl's names right now, the two Ls give it a lilting, feminine flair, and it rolls off the tongue beautifully.
Layla is a name that can grow with a baby as she enters girlhood and becomes an adult. Music lovers have latched onto this one for years due to Clapton's popular tune, and though it is popular, Layla still has a unique sound.
11 Lola
Lola has Spanish origins and means "strong girl" or "lady of sorrows". Sitting on Australia's list at number 59, it still hasn't broken into the top 300 in the United States. Like Layla, this one has a song titled after it, Lola by the Kinks.
Celebrities love this moniker, and Lisa Bonet, Charlie Sheen, and Annie Lennox have all given it to their daughters. Madonna's daughter uses it as a nickname for Lourdes.
It's true that mom and dad can name their child Lolita and call her Lola, but if they want to stay away from that oversexualized connection, Lola on its own is just fine. Cute, girly, and playful, it is probably an easier name for a young child to carry than for an older woman.
Lola is gaining popularity worldwide, so mom and dad should keep that in mind if they are hoping for something with more individual flair.
10 Lucy
Short for Lucille, Lucy means "light" and comes from Latin. It's number 26 on Australia's list, and Lucia and Lucinda can be the formal name for Lucy. However, as it may be obvious from this list, Australians don't mind using supposed nicknames as full first names, and Lucy is one that can stand on its own without a problem.
Lucy is number 55 in the United States, and there are a number of popular Lucys. Lucille Ball was the brains and spirit behind the I Love Lucy show, and Lucy from the Peanuts cartoon is a classic, beloved children's character. Lucy Liu is an actress with this moniker, and the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" offers a musical connection.
For the parent who wants a name that expresses what a light their little girl is in their lives, Lucy is perfect.
9 Maggie
Every little girl is a precious pearl to their parents, and since Maggie means "pearl", this name is becoming quite the hit with moms and dads in Australia. Making the list at number 100, this nickname for Margaret has been around for a while and is gaining steam.
In the United States Maggie is in the top 250 names, and it is creeping out of nickname domain and becoming a full first name of its own. Rod Stewart helped this name gain popularity when he sang his song "Maggie Mae".
Parents with Scottish ties will like that this name was first used there, and parents who want to give their child a unique M name but want a recognizable nickname for everyday use would be wise to latch onto this one. Maggie Gyllenhaal, the famous actress, uses Maggie in place of her first name, the well-know Margaret.
8 Matilda
Actress Michelle Williams and the late Heath Ledger named their daughter Matilda, and the name is taking hold in Australia. At number 18, it is climbing the charts, though in the United States it hasn't yet broken into the top 500.
Coming from German and meaning "battle" or "mighty", Matilda is the perfect name for a strong girl who will make her imprint on the world. The name can also be spelled Mathilda, and it has a variety of nicknames built in such as Tilda, Mattie, and Tillie. Roald Dahl immortalized this name when he used it in his work, and the name is highly recognizable in many parts of the world.
Charles Dicken's book Nicholas Nickleby has a character named Matilda for parents who want a literary connection for their child's name. Though this name is gaining popularity in many countries, it is rising slower in others and is still a great pick for parents hoping to grasp onto something a tad unique.
7 Molly
Molly is considered an offshoot of the popular name Mary, and though the meaning of the name is "bitter", the precious name is proving to be very sweet. Australia ranks it number 79, and it is 144 in the United States. The name has Hebrew origins and has been used for many years.
This name has a plethora of literary connections, with the name appearing in works by Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and James Joyce. The song "Good Golly, Miss Molly" by Little Richard also gave this name a spirited swing, associating it with fun and spunk.
Most people remember the name because of the actress Molly Ringwald who starred in 1980s movies Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles.
Though some parents choose Molly as a first name but use a different nickname in everyday life, Molly stands well on its own without a nickname and is easy to spell and say.
6 Paige
Paige is a name meaning "page to the lord", and like Mason it is considered a name related to an occupation. It's derived from English or French and comes in at number 61 in Australia and number 140 in the United States.
Paige can be spelled without the I for parents who want to make it even simpler. Many television shows have had characters named Paige, including Pretty Little Liars, Charmed, and the aged Knots Landing.
Some see Paige as a down-to-earth moniker while others see it as uppity. How a child carries it will make all the difference, and it works for a woman as well as it does a baby. Paige is generally considered feminine, and the name is still on the cusp of the kind of insane popularity that makes it hard for children to not have three friends with the same name.
5 Piper
Piper is a spunky name of English origin that finds itself at number 49 on Australia's list. In the United States it's number 68. Popular in TV shows like Charmed and Orange is the New Black, this unique moniker is becoming more common and is great for little girls with sass to spare. Piper Perabo, the actress who has been in both television and movies, has carried this name well for years.
The name means "pipe" or "flute player", so parents who enjoy music will love it. Though this name is sometimes mistaken for a nickname, it is perfectly acceptable as a full first name, and it is uniquely feminine.
Parents who want a tamed down name might not like the sound of the spunky Piper, but parents who expect their sweet girl to also have a lot of spice will love it. It goes well with most any surname and is still not too overused.
4 Summer
For baby girls who are born during this season, Summer is the perfect name. This season name is number 45 in Australia and number 195 in the United States, and it fits right in with sister season names like Autumn.
Summer is a time when responsibilities take a break, so it's carefree and fun like many little girls. It's good for an adult or a child, and since it is considered a word name, it isn't held down by any places of origin. Summer is universal.
Besides being connected to the season, many characters on film have the name in movies such as 500 Days of Summer and Napoleon Dynamite, as well as TV shows like Baywatch and The O.C.
Even if mom and dad have a winter baby but want to offer her a bundle of warmth, Summer works. This name is popular and common, but it still stands out.
3 Willow
Derived from English and meaning "willow tree", this nature name is sweet for any little girl. It's number 30 in Australia and number 111 in the United States and seems to be steadily gaining popularity.
Willow is unisex, but it has a certain feminine flair that makes it a likely choice for a girl. Parents in Canada and Scotland are fans of this name, and it's no wonder. The willow is though to offer healing power to those who need it, lending it a mystical as well as nature connection.
The name Willow also shows up often when celebrities are naming their daughters. Will Smith's daughter and Pink's little lady share the name, and a character on the 1990s hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer had it.
Parents who like Willow might also consider Willa, or they may choose to name a future boy Will, another catchy W name.
2 Zara
Sitting at number 31 on Australia's list, this name blooms since it is derived from the Arabic word for flower, zahra. Short, unique, and beautiful, Zara is set to continue its climb.
Zara also has Hebrew origins, where it means "seed", and in Russian it means "princess". Whichever meaning a parent prefers, it offers beautiful imagery and a cute nickname by just using the first letter of the name and calling a child Zee.
Actresses, singers, and a famous cellist all have this name, and it is for the parent who wants something unique. Though the name is on the rise, that's no reason to shy away from it. Parents won't regret giving this name to their child as either a first or middle name. A strong alternative to the common Sara, Zara is eye-catching and strong.
1 Zoe
Pronounced with a long O, Zoe is gaining ground. At number 17 in Australia and number 33 in the United States, the name means "life" and has Greek origins. An alternative spelling is Zoey or Zoie, but we're partial to the shorter version.
Though Zoe stands out as a female name, author J.D. Salinger immortalized it as a male name in his work titled Franny and Zooey. Salinger offers a literary connection, and actress and singer Zoe Kravitz, the daughter of musician Lenny and actress Lisa Bonet, offers it a musical and Hollywood link.
For those who like the meaning of Eve but want something with a little more spunk, Zoe is the translation that was created in the 200s so the name would take on the meaning of "life" like Eve's. This name is on the rise in almost every country it's used in, but it's such a great name that most parents don't mind.

Breaux-Frist Medicare Reform Bill
February 4, 2000
Based on the deliberations of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare -- which failed to endorse any plan -- Sens. John Breaux (D-La.), Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) and Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) have introduced a bill (S.1895) to reform Medicare and expand its benefits.
The "Medicare Preservation and Improvement Act of 1999" would give Medicare beneficiaries control over their health benefits as well as an updated benefit package, using as a model the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).
- Medicare now accounts for 12 percent of the federal budget, and will grow to 28 percent to 38 percent of the federal budget in 2030, according to the Commission.
- The bill's sponsors believe seniors would be more price sensitive and plans would be more competitive if beneficiaries were given a contribution amount based on the national average cost -- adjusted for risk and geography -- of premiums for a standard benefits package.
- The resulting savings could be used to provide higher benefit levels or lower taxes.
Breaux-Frist would peg the government's overall Medicare contribution to 88 percent of the national average of the standard benefit package cost -- more than the government is forecast to provide in 2015 under current law -- with beneficiaries picking up the rest of the cost through premiums and copays (as they do now).
The standard benefit package would be "all services guaranteed under the existing Medicare statute." Seniors would have a choice of plans and could pay more to get higher benefits.
Above an automatic subsidy of up to 40 percent from general revenues, Congress would have to approve any additional expenditures for Medicare.

Dec 30, 2009 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
Liverpool's girls basketball team worked hard throughout last week's Peter Hyde Tournament at Maine-Endwell High School near Binghamton — and that hard work led to a third-place finish.
The Warriors met host Maine-Endwell in the first round and found itself trailing through much of a 61-49 loss to the Spartans.
Instead of eight-minute quarters, the two sides played 16-minute halves, enough time for Maine-Endwell to push its way to a 31-21 halftime edge and maintain it against all of Liverpool's comeback attempts.
Ally Zywicki, back from a brief absence, had just four points. In front of her, Katie Dalton had 12 points, while Sydney Chalifoux got 11 points. Nicole Ciricillo and Nina Tassone got seven points apiece as Lyteshia Price gained six points.
Relegated to the consolation game against Union-Endicott 24 hours later, the Warriors got a big performance from Zywicki in a 59-46 victory over the Tigers.
Liverpool seized a 32-25 first-half lead, then kept it as Zywicki hit on three 3-pointers, finishing her night with 19 points. Price and Nina Tassone had 10 points apiece, with Ciricillo getting eight points and Shannon Seymour six points.
This win improved Liverpool's mark to 3-4 as it returned home to face Nottingham Tuesday night, its first game in 2010.

About PRK Surgery in Honolulu and Maui
PRK surgery is a type of laser vision correction that treats the surface of the eye. Unlike LASIK Surgery, a corneal flap isn't made. At EyeSight Hawaii, we use the latest technology for our pre-operative exams and vision correction procedures including LASIK and PRK surgery. All consultations, surgeries and post-operative examinations are performed by corneal specialist Dr. John Olkowski.
PRK Surgery Pre-Operative Examination
PRK surgery pre-operative examinations are just as important as the actual surgery. During these exams, we gather the information that is used for surgery including measuring corneal thickness and pupil size and dilating the pupils to examine the retina. EyeSight Hawaii is the only laser eye center in Hawaii to perform VISX WaveScan measurements before all laser vision correction procedures. The VISX WaveScan maps your entire visual system in an extremely advanced way that was never before possible and creates a "Fingerprint of your vision". The WaveScan system produces a very accurate and objective measurement of each patient's vision which leads to better results.
Laser Vision Correction PRK Surgery
For all of our laser vision correction procedures, Dr. Olkowski uses the VISX Star S4 IR excimer laser which has the only FDA-approved 3-Dimensional tracking system. There is no need to worry if your eye moves because the laser will follow resulting in more safety and accuracy for the patient.
Numbing drops are used prior to surgery then tiny layers of the cornea are removed. The VISX Star S4 IR excimer laser corrects the vision and then a contact lens is put on the eye which will act as a bandage. This contact is removed about 3 days after surgery.
PRK Surgery Post-Operative Examinations
Post-operative exams after PRK Surgery are extremely important. This is when we can see how the eyes are healing. If you ever have any concerns about your PRK, we are more than happy to take a look at your eyes at any time.
LASIK surgery versus PRK surgery
Disadvantages of PRK surgery are more post-operative discomfort, a slower recovery and the risk of hazing on the surface of the eye. PRK is most useful for patients with corneas that are too thin for LASIK, or who are otherwise not candidates for LASIK.
EyeSight Hawaii offers complimentary LASIK/PRK consultations. Click here to request an appointment. Patients meet our staff and discuss their laser vision correction options. Call us today at (808) 735-1935 and we would be happy to schedule an appointment for you in our main office located in Honolulu, Hawaii or at our Kahului office in Maui and you'll find out if LASIK or PRK surgery is right for you.

Pam Martin, mother of Josh, Zack, and Nick, talks about how football has helped develop her boys. All three of her sons played college football, Josh at the University of Indianapolis while Zack and Nick starred at Notre Dame.
College athletics runs deep in the Martin family, and Pam attended the University of Kentucky as an intramural swimmer and student trainer with the football team. In the above video, Pam pays tribute to football and the relationships the sport has helped her family develop as well as the benefits to her sons.
"We love it as a family because it's shaped who we are," Martin says in the video. "We have had so many great experiences, and it's taught us so much. It's just provided us a lot of joy. It has provided my kids with their educations. It taught them the life lessons that will carry through their whole lives. It has provided a community for us in high school, and the friends we have will be friends for life, and we still get together. I just love the game. I love to watch the game."
Other Football Moms stories include:
Four Boys, Four Teams: How Gail Connors Managed Her Football Family – Gail Connors was so busy with her four boys on four different teams that she created a spreadsheet to keep all the schedules straight. Her son Danny credits her and her husband Rick for helping him in his career and life, "Now that I'm playing in college, I realize a majority of that credit goes to her and my dad for all the time and money spent on us to reach our goals.
Joanna Krah Learned To Love Football By Watching Her Sons Myer And Aaron – Joanna Krah was perfectly happy being a track and field mom, but when her sons started playing football she eventually learned to love the game. The boys' high school coach Antonio King says about Joanna, "It's great for a high school coach to have a parent like their mother," King said. "Sometimes it's hard for a football coach to get parents to understand what you're doing. You need to have people supporting you and speaking on your behalf. She supported the team that way. Those parents did a great job raising their kids.
Stacy Fitzgerald Leads The Way As Youth Football Program President For Her Sons – Stacy, the wife of Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald, is the president of the North Shore Griffins, the Youth Football Program for her three boys. Stacy appreciates the lessons of football, "They learn to work together, to be a teammate, to be a leader, to have to deal with defeat — in a play or a game. Especially on a play, like, 'You got tackled,' or 'You fumbled the ball. Now, you can't sulk, you've got to bounce back on that next play.' It's fun to watch them do it or come up and say, 'Jack helped after that bad play' or, 'Ryan was leading the huddle.' Even though you don't think they're listening, they are actually hearing what I'm saying."
Barbara And Jim Gulyas Finally Won't Have To Travel To Different Games This Season – The Gulyases had four football playing boys, three of whom played in college. They prioritized going to each game they could. This year is the first year that they will only have one boy to worry about, as their youngest, Jeff, is the only boy still playing. Barbara loves the camaraderie of football, "One thing I have noticed is how much they love their teammates and how they will do anything for them. They are always there for each other with support and encouragement. You also learn how to manage your time, which is important."
OSU Coach Mike Gundy Instills Values Learned From His Mother, Judy – Oklahoma State Head Coach Mike Gundy learned lessons from his mother that he teaches his players today. Judy not only raised Mike, who was a star quarterback at OSU, but her younger son Cale was the starting QB for Oklahoma and is currently the running backs coach for the Sooners. Mike says he teaches his players lessons that his mother taught him, "We have 132 players on our team, and things that my mother instilled in me, I'm instilling in them every day."

British Defence Minister Liam Fox said Tuesday there were "practical limitations" to any foreign intervention in Syria, despite NATO taking military action in Libya under similar conditions.
Asked why Western governments had backed armed intervention to protect civilian lives in Libya but not in Syria, Fox said "there are limitations to what we can do."
"We will do what we can to reinforce the values our countries share, but we can't do everything all the time, and we have to recognize that there are practical limitations to what our countries can do, no matter how much we would like to do so," Fox told reporters during a visit to the Pentagon.
Fox condemned the Syrian government for "killing civilians" and urged the political leadership to undertake "political reform" after activists said security forces firing live rounds and tear gas have killed at least 400 people since March 15. Scores more have been arrested.
Syria's southern town of Daraa came under sustained gunfire from troops Tuesday amid a military assault on the center of pro-democracy protests. Some 25 people were killed on Monday alone in the flashpoint town.
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, speaking alongside Fox, said he agreed with his British counterpart on the limits of intervention.
With popular unrest sweeping the Middle East and North Africa, Gates said the same Western principles on human rights and democracy should apply to all countries.
But he added that each nation would require a "tailored" approach.
"I think that our values and principles apply to all countries, in terms of peaceful protest, in terms of the need to address political and economic grievances of populations," said Gates, a former CIA director and intelligence analyst.
"That said, our response in each country will have to be tailored to that country and to the circumstances peculiar to that country."
Gates said the NATO-led intervention in Libya also was backed by "unprecedented" diplomatic support from the Arab League, Gulf countries and the UN Security Council.
"So there was a degree of international support for this humanitarian mission and the no-fly zone that I think was unprecedented," he said.

The staff is by far the hotel's best offering. Every single staff member had a genuine smile and genuine concern for the guests. The breakfast was super delightful, complements to the chef.
The only small thing is there was a plate and empty bottle that remained in the hallway for 2 nights. I couldn't figure it out. Other than that the hotel was very good.

It is an oasis in a busy area. The breakfast was very good. I only used it to overnight for my flight out the next day. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel if staying in the airport area.

Room was spacious and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating.
First room I was given did not have working airconditioning. Hotel does not have elevators. Luggage had to be carried up stairs.

The customer service was excellent. Accommodating and friendly!
It was difficult finding the location. If you missed the exit, you'd go for miles before you could turn back around. Maybe they could put up better signs indicating where there located.

Good breakfast, very friendly staff, free airport shuttle, clean room.
Our room was located at the bottom of some stairs. We could hear people talking, kids shouting, and bags clunking down the stairs all day and night. The bathroom was flooding water from the drain on the floor.

Once closed, it forms an exact square. The complete invitation is then placed into an outside mailing envelope.

NZXT HALE90 V2 1000 W ReviewA Look Inside & Component Analysis »
The white package is quite large because the PSU's dimensions are bigger than usual. The front has a small window through which the white fan can be seen. All badges and texts on the front are small, except for the capacity description that is highlighted in large black fonts.
The most important thing on this side is the power code list depicting what power cord the unit is equipped with. Our sample came with the European variant.
A table describing all available connectors is given on this side. Two graphs also show the acoustic level of the fan and the efficiency of the PSU throughout its entire operational load ranges.
The back of the box exploits a black background and includes interesting information. It holds the power specifications table and a series of photos showing the internals of the PSU. We highly appreciate when a manufacturer is confident enough to show some photos of the internals and a brief description of them on the package; it gives us a clear idea of what to expect from the unit before we even open the box. NZXT also lists the key features of the PSU on this side to outline how this unit will meet its competition eye-to-eye.
The unit is quite well protected by two pieces of packing foam. However, we would highly prefer the top one to be a little thicker, although this would lead to an even larger package. Besides the packing foam, the unit is also protected by a nylon bag. Considering its high price, a velvet or at synthetic pouch should be used, but NZXT preferred to save some money instead.
A large, white bag stores all modular cables. The rest of the bundle includes a heavy-duty AC power cord equipped with a C19 coupler, a set of fixing bolts, several zip ties, and the user's manual.
In the box, you will also find a small tag that includes all the inspections the unit is put through before it leaves the factory. As you can see, the PSU was tested in two different load set-ups (ATE, Automatic Testing Equipment) with an in-between burn-in test at 45°C.
The PSU looks very nice, and we are pretty sure that most of you will agree with us on that. The white color, its similarly colored fan, and the black stripe create a nice combination that will surely not pass on unnoticed, even to normal user who doesn't care so much about the appearance of their PSU. It would be real shame to buy and hide this PSU inside a windowless case. A case with a large side window is the only ideal home for this unit.
On the rear, the modular panel exploits a black background that looks very slick. Lastly, the specifications label is located on the bottom of the unit. The HALE90 V2 still sports a great look thanks to its high aesthetic, although the overall design doesn't utilize ground breaking elements like specially designed vents or a Be Quiet!-style fan grill.

China verified yesterday it's near to finishing the refitting from the former Soviet aircraft company Varyag, now referred to as Shi Lang, which the vessel will quickly be prepared for its first 'research and training' mission.
The repairs from the former Ukrainian vessel continues to be known about and broadly thought on for a while. But Chinese authorities this time around went further in adding that they're also thinking about building their very own company.
'Taking into accounts all elements, government bodies in China are seriously considering the introduction of a plane company. To construct a company is really a complicated process,' Senior Col. Geng Yansheng, spokesperson for that Secretary of state for National Defense, was cited by CNTV as saying.
The announcement comes in a sensitive time in the area. An intensifying row with Southeast Asian neighbours including Vietnam and also the Philippines over territorial claims within the South China Ocean has amplified concerns that China will employ an progressively muscular foreign policy supported with a quickly strengthening military.
Chinese military authorities, though, were quick to protect the nation's company plans.
Inside a front-page editorial, the state Liberation Military Daily contended that past Chinese 'humiliations' have 'left china individuals with the deep discomfort of getting seas they might not defend, helplessly eating the bitter fruit to be beaten to be backward.'
Regardless of the focus on defence, the mention of the 'humiliation' and national pride is certain to stoke concerns among neighbours like Japan that China's military rise is going to be combined having a growing and harmful nationalism.
Speaking yesterday, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano may have spoken for a lot of when he mentioned: 'The problem of transparency regarding China's defense policy and it is military expansion itself are concerns not just for Japan as well as the region and also the worldwide community.'
But China argues that military expansion does not always imply that aggressive guidelines follows.
Within an interview with China Daily, Du Wenlong, an investigation fellow using the Academy of Military Sciences, argues much from the foreign media has misinterpreted China's military development.
'China's growth and development of aircraft service providers is targeted at creating a greater contribution through the Chinese individuals to a harmonious maritime atmosphere. China's growth and development of aircraft service providers isn't directed against anybody or any country, but a type of maintenance and protection for world and regional security,' he stated.
'Some foreign media deliberately produced the "China threat theory," however with the "China threat theory" being there for a lot of years, we're not threatened. The details continues to prove that despite developing aircraft service providers, China will be an opposing player of world peace and stability.'
The question now's whether China expects to make use of the progressively large stick it offers, or simply keep speaking softly.

TheFIX five: Bradley Cooper's lovers' quarrel, Britney's body and an irritated Spice Girl
five videos of awkward and awesome
The awkward factor was turned up this week in entertainment, starting with Bradley Cooper's "argument" with his girlfriend, model Irina Shayk, caught on camera at Wimbledon. Sources later told TMZ that the beauty was battling hay fever…which is obviously really intense.
Also on the cringe-worthy scale was Mel B, aka Scary Spice. She really hated being asked why Posh and Sporty seem to be absent from the upcoming Spice Girls reunion. *FACE PALM*
Kim Kardashian also fielded an uncomfortable question from a toddler about her fame. And finally, on less awkward and more awesome notes, Britney stripped and Michelle Bridges told TheFIX what almost broke her…

Things move slowly in the academic world. It is, however, an important world that I wish would have more direct impact in real time. I am presently working on a small contribution to make my own work more relevant and widespread, although embarrassingly many years behind my initial plans.

By now, I had lost faith in the abstract world of academic research requiring years of theoretical studies completely disconnected from the schools that I already knew how to help.
I have instead chosen a path as an education entrepreneur and will, with my continued interest in education research, combine these two fields to connect my academic knowledge and interest with real time and real world actions.
