When email box sizes were increased 10 years ago
Ten years ago, all the major email service providers increased their free storage size as a response to Google's 1GB offer. Microsoft increased to 250MB, and Yahoo increased to 100MB. Obviously, the bigger seemed beautiful. The size in fact reflected the technology capability that each company can handle and also the vision for the future at that moment. All these in turn determined how they performed in the area of cloud computing and big data in the last 10 years. It is so interesting to look backward and connect the dots.

Football used by Patriots in 'Deflategate' game sells for over $40,000
By Katie Reilly
NEW YORK, July 19 (Reuters) - One of the balls used by the New England Patriots in the NFL's 2015 AFC Championship game, in which the team was infamously found to have deflated footballs, sold for more than $40,000 in an auction on Saturday.
The winning bidder paid $43,740 for the ball, which receiver Brandon LaFell had handed to a couple in the crowd after a Patriots touchdown in the third quarter of the game against the Indianapolis Colts in January.
The National Football League (NFL) later fined the Patriots $1 million for deflating footballs in their 45-7 victory, a win that put them in the 2015 Super Bowl, where they then went on to defeat the Seattle Seahawks. Both victories have since been tainted by the "Deflategate" scandal.
New England quarterback Tom Brady received a four-game suspension for being aware of the plan to deflate the footballs, although Brady himself has denied having any knowledge.
"The ball that will live in infamy," was how auction house Lelands.com described the football.
"The historical importance of this piece cannot be understated. It is the most 'topical' piece of sports memorabilia that we can recall ever being sold so close to the event itself," it said. (Reporting by Katie Reilly; Editing by Scott Malone and Susan Fenton)

Tatra Receptions Wedding Photography
17th April 2014
Today we have the pleasure to relive a wonderful wedding we photographed at Tatra Receptions in Mt Dandenong last November.
We are very excited to be blogging about the wedding as we recently delivered a stunning Coffee Table Book to the lovely Melina and Joseph and we wanted to share the images of their beautiful wedding with you all.
We started the day capturing our radiant bride getting ready. She looked like a bohemian princess.
We loved her elegant dress and her beautiful hairstyle of cascading curls, styled by Veronica Failla and crowned by a gorgeous headband.
We also loved her choice of transportation, a cute VW Kombi van. We had to capture our marvellous bride and her bridesmaids posing with it.
Talking about cuteness, what about the outfits of the little pageboy and flower girls? Just gorgeous!
After a few more formal shots with the stunning bride, her gorgeous bridesmaids and her beautiful family, we rushed to Tatra Receptions to meet Joseph, her gorgeous groom.
Joseph and his groomsmen arrived in two big four-wheel drive trucks. We captured a few formal shots of the boys, looking very dapper in matching grey suits before the arrival of Melina.
The ceremony, officiated by the masterly Lynton Round, took place in the picturesque garden. What a wonderful setting for this gorgeous couple.
Once the couple tied the knot, we captured the traditional family photos and a group shot.
We then strolled through the garden of Tatra Receptions with our happy couple and the bridal party for the Formal Wedding Photography. With such a beautiful location we were really spoiled for choice.
Our favourite shots were captured towards the end of the photo session. Looking at the images, would you believe if we told you they were taken in a dark wet evening? Only a great professional wedding photographer like Andrea Harris-Poddi could produce such artistic images in the worst light conditions.
When planning your wedding, contact Amarcord Photography. We care about your memories as much as you do.

Installing Wildcard Application Mappings (IIS 6.0)
In IIS 6.0, administrators can configure a Web site or virtual directory to run an Internet Server API (ISAPI) application at the beginning of every request to that Web site or virtual directory, regardless of the extension of the requested file.
When an IIS Web server receives a request from a client, the Web server looks at the extension of the file that is named in the request to determine which ISAPI or Common Gateway Interface (CGI) application handles that file. For example, if a request comes in for a Web page called Default.asp, IIS knows from the application mapping list that Default.asp is handled by the Asp.dll ISAPI application.
If you want certain tasks to be executed for every client request before the requested page is sent to its mapped application, you can write an ISAPI Filter which intercepts requests as they arrive. However, ISAPI filters have the following limitations:
By using wildcard application maps, you can intercept every request before the requested page is sent to its mapped application. The effect is like having an Installing Wildcard Application Mappings that handles every file name extension. This is why the term wildcard is used to name this feature. Applications using wildcard application mapping can only be ISAPI applications.
A client request takes the following route:
Using Wildcard Application Mappings
Wildcard application maps can be used in the following scenarios:
Inserting Wildcard Application Mappings
By inserting wildcard application mapping, you can instruct IIS to allow ISAPI applications known as interceptors to intercept and examine every request before the requested page is sent to its mapped application. The effect is an application mapping that handles every file name extension.
You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /User:Administrative_AccountName"mmc systemroot\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Hero by Samantha Young
Narrator: Angelica Lee
Published by Penguin Audio on February 3, 2015
Genres: Contemporary Romance
Format: Audiobook
Length: 12 hours, 16 minutes
Source: Publisher
Audio | Goodreads
The emotional and unforgettable new romance from the New York Times bestselling author of the On Dublin Street series.
Alexa Holland's father was her hero—until her shocking discovery that her mother and she weren't his only family. Ever since, Alexa has worked to turn her life in a different direction and forge her own identity outside of his terrible secrets. But when she meets a man who's as damaged by her father's mistakes as she is, Alexa must help him.
Caine Carraway wants nothing to do with Alexa's efforts at redemption, but it's not so easy to push her away. Determined to make her hate him, he brings her to the edge of her patience and waits for her to walk away. But his actions only draw them together and, despite the odds, they begin an intense and explosive affair.
Only Caine knows he can never be the white knight that Alexa has always longed for. And when they're on the precipice of danger, he finds he'll do anything to protect either one of them from being hurt again....
Quick summary
Alexa Holland, photographer's assistant, has a meltdown on a shoot when she discovers the subject for the day is none other than Caine Carraway, investment management wonderboy and the man her family almost destroyed years ago. When he discovers who she is, he strikes back and tough.
The secrets
There are quite a lot of them in this story, which only made it more interesting as they unfolded gradually, adding layers to the characters and providing intrigue.
The romance
Caine and Alexa make an unlikely couple, until she gets under his skin. Her attempts at destroying his "walls" were admirable and I really liked her spirit. Each time he disappointed her, though, I felt her despair. There were times I wanted her to just run in the opposite direction but once I learned his history, it had me hang in there with him.
The narration
I liked the narrator as she clearly injected the emotion and angst of Alexa throughout the story. There were times, however, that she just projected immaturity, especially when Alexa was being snarky. Otherwise, I enjoyed the performance.
The bottom line
This is a well-told, fast-paced story with interesting characters and a pretty compelling romance. And, there was a bit of intrigue and suspense that cropped up about midway through the book.The ending came too soon for me as I wasn't ready to let these people go. Just wish this was the beginning of a series (like I need another one!).

This is a major geek out, Thomas Dolby sings his classic "She Blinded Me With Science" with Buzz Aldrin taking the role of the late, great Dr Magnus Pike. Shame Aldrin fluffs it at one point and shouts "Silence", but then other members of the crew of Apollo 11 are infamous for fluffing their lines too, albeit on the Moon rather than the TED stage. Great fun and I want to have a go on that machine Dolby is playing!
One thought on "Buzz blinds Dolby"
What an awesome contraption. Buzz has no rhythm. But he was not the one who danced on the moon.

Management Briefing Seminars
TRAVERSE CITY, MI – From the onset of the development of its fullsize Tundra pickup, Toyota Motor Corp. engineers, designers and product planners have eyed the lucrative aftermarket for accessories as a way to increase profits and capture share.
As a newcomer to the segment, which accounts for 13.2% of light-vehicle sales annually, according to Ward's data, and is the most heavily accessorized sector, Toyota studied the Tundra's target buyers to determine their unique needs before the truck was built, says Mike O'Brien, product planning, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., at the Management Briefing Seminars here.
There are two primary reasons why aftermarket companies heavily accessorize fullsize pickups, O'Brien says. "They're put through a large variety of uses," and "they're purchased by a wide variety of buyers. In response, we learned a new way of accessorizing."
The system Toyota had in place for selling accessories at its dealerships wasn't working, because dealers didn't have the necessary items on hand and aftermarket companies were better equipped to handle customer needs.
It was clear Toyota had to do better in offering accessories at the point of sale, O'Brien says, noting studies show that offering add-on items at the dealership increases showroom traffic 10% and improves the closing ratio on sales 25%.
To remedy the problem, Toyota turned to its longstanding product-development philosophy, "gembutsu," which means "go and see."
But to meet the unique needs of the truck market, gembutsu needed a slight modification.
"For Tundra, we decided to 'go, see and do,'" O'Brien says. "We wanted to find out what drove customization. So we decided to hit the road and observe how real people were using their trucks to earn a living. We didn't just see the market, we lived it."
Toyota sent a team on the road for two trips covering several weeks and spanning thousands of miles.
Made up of Tundra engineers, designers and product planners, the team visited aftermarket suppliers and upfitters, as well as construction sites, mining camps, ranches, farms and snowplow manufacturers.
The knowledge gleaned proved invaluable.
They learned, for instance, just how many small accessory manufacturers create products that uniquely suit a local need, and that upfitters provide far more than the product, itself. "In fact, their consulting knowledge weighed in heavily on purchase decisions," O'Brien says.
Construction workers said they didn't want to learn post purchase that a particular item they wanted to add to their pickup wouldn't work because they didn't order a specific package.
"And they told us they expect their truck to perform beyond its stated capability," O'Brien says. "That's the point of upfitting."
Toyota used the information gathered by the team to build a pickup directly aimed at its target audience. For plowing, Toyota engineered the Tundra with frame attach points, ballast weight and an adequate front-end height. "We wanted the best half-ton (pickup) for plowing," O'Brien says.
Toyota also offered transmissions that provide greater towing options.
Dealerships were supplied a wider variety of accessories, doubling the number offered to more than 50.
But, due to the specialized knowledge of many upfitters, the auto maker chose not to dabble in every accessory.
"There are a large number of items better suited for the aftermarket," O'Brien says. "However, we decided that some accessories would benefit greatly by being included at the point of sale. These tend to be basic needs and can be included as part of financing and warranty coverage."
Toyota's efforts have paid off, O'Brien says, noting Tundra sales have climbed 56% in the first seven months, compared with year-ago.

With the current leaks that surfaced late this week it looks like Windows phone UI is on for a fresh revamp, including a redesigned notifications center, if a clutch of screenshots supposedly inadvertently leaked can be believed. The images,we are seeing according to a Reddit user from a Nokia Lumia 920 bought on eBay, apparently show a version of Windows Phone dated May 9, and could well be a misplaced test unit that had been used to put a pre-launch OS build through its paces.
The elephant in the room is the way Windows Phone handles notifications, something Microsoft itself previously conceded was left somewhat half-baked. As on Android and iOS, the notifications pane
apparently supports multiple sections – split by app – with multiple notifications in each section permitted.
I think that is a welcome change, since Windows Phone's current system of pop-up alerts and Live Tile animations lacks comprehensiveness for power-users getting significant numbers of notifications.
Apart from Notifications, there's a new multitasking system evident as well, with the new ability to close apps from the multitasking view. A floating "X" icon seems to suggest apps can be manually shut down with a tap, similar to how iOS multitasking operates.
As we see below, in the calendar, there's a new weekly view for appointments, while the app list has also been tweaked. It's apparently possible to order software according to frequency of use, with titles organized by "most used", "moderately used", etc.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I've been using M$ DataGridView for a while. It suffers from quite a few problems with data binding, and also has certain behaviour which I dislike but and which is difficult or impossible to change.
Yet another bug with the data binding the other week inspired me to google for a replacement and fortunately I came across the SourceGrid. Wow! Given that it is free, it's an impressive piece of work. Overall, it works very well, is pretty powerful
and easy to customize. Well done to all involved in the project.
There is one aspect of the grid's behaviour that I am thinking about modifying. With GridSelectionMode.Row set and EnableMultiSelection true, if you click on a cell (that is not selected) the row gets selected, but then clicking on the same cell
the row is not deselected. However, clicking on another cell in the same row removes the row from the selection.
Looking at the code in MouseSelection.OnMouseDown, this behaviour appears to be "by design". The relevant lines are:
//If the cell is already selected and the user has the ctrl key pressed then deselect the cell
if (controlPress && grid.Selection.IsSelectedCell(sender.Position) && grid.Selection.ActivePosition != sender.Position)
grid.Selection.SelectCell(sender.Position, false);
grid.Selection.Focus(sender.Position, !mantainSelection);
This prevents removing the active cell from the selection. I would like to be able to do this, and was just wondering if it is safe for the grid to have an active cell that is not part of a selection or for that matter have selected cells with no cell
set as active in the grid.
I've not had the chance to dig deep in the source code to see if this would be OK and so would appreciate your feedback.

So, to make sure that my last vist was not a total fluke, we went to Bullshead again last night for the steak dinner.
Once again the orders broke down as a gigantic buffallo burger and an aged new york strip. I immediately went and pointed out the one i wanted to the chef and told him how i wanted it.
Okay, so this time the salad bar was sort of wilted in some spots, but still tasty enough that i ate what ever was not wilted. The fries that came with the burger were great. not too greasy and they serve them with a side of mayo! The Steak was totally perfect again! the waiter was confused that i didn't want anything on it (like sauteed onions or mushrooms or even steak sauce) i finally had to tell him that i just wanted to taste the steak and again, it was perfect. fat, aged perfectly, cooked to the most perfect medium rare!
the main downfall: the baked potato wasn't so good. it tasted like it had been par baked WAY ahead of time and then finished later, so that the potato texture was more solid and wet than flaky and soft (you know how that happens sometimes....) so i couldn't get the potato to break and mash up with my fork to soak up all the juice form the steak. Ah well, no bother, i pushed the potato aside and just focused on the steak.
Oh, and i think there were vegetables on the plate, but i didn't touch them cause that was not the reason i was there.
Here is the one funny thing about the night:
The menu had this big whole diatribe about buffalo meat and how good it is for you and how the native americans that lived off of buffalo had no cancer or heart disease and lived to the avergae age of 80-90 years and that "they would have lived longer if they had proper dental care" WHAT?!?!?!?
I am confused.
the two seem so very not related and the whole comment seemed so weird to me that it has been on my mind since last night.
Has anyone else seen this funny strange piece of information on the Bullshead menu?
Anyway, have a nice day.

Greek mythology) the goddess of divine retribution and vengeance.
Nemesis in Greek thought a personification of the gods' resentment and anger at man's insolence, hubris towards themselves. Thus nemesis was punishment; what overtook and befell the tragic hero.
As a result tragedy is worsened by Oedipus's punishment which is unfitting of the crime he committed. When his nemesis occurs, the chorus, plays a crucial role in generating sympathy towards Oedipus. The tragic nature of the play, is not only brought out by Oedipus's characteristic flaws, but also by the way he was treated by the gods. sending Oedipus away, Oedipus also tries to change his destiny, by leaving Corinth "At this I fled away, putting the stars between me and Corinth, never to see home again. It was the driver that thrust me aside and him I struck" Oedipus at that stage, should have been careful about who he kills, and what he does, but his indiscriminate, violent and careless nature leads him to killing his own father over an incident only pride would cause. Nemesis is inflicted upon Oedipus with his loss of sight, his banishment from Thebes, the death of Jocasta and through the degradation of his children. Good tragedies are filled with irony, and dramatic irony is reflected in the play through the theme of blindness versus sight. Laius orders him out of the way at a crossroad, but Oedipus's pride, anger and temperament drives him to kill Laius for what he perceives as an insult. "Insensate agony! What demon of destiny with swift assault outstriding has ridden you down?" Oedipus's nemesis is like a fate worse than the death, being forced to live on with the sins he had committed. " His language and tone when he accuses Teiresias "Do you think you can say such things with impunity?" displays his rash nature, and tendency to make quick deductions without further thinking. The plague has ended brining a sense of relief and order back to the town, with Oedipus having solved his...

Genesis 12
Abram chosen as the father of the nation Israel
What do we learn about Abram as he is introduced?
Does anything indicate that Abram was better than other people? Was he more holy? More gifted?
When God came to Abram and said, "I will make you into a great nation and bless you," was it because Abram had earned a special blessing?
From here on out, God is going to work with Abram's family in a special way and not with the other nations of the Earth. Israel will be his chosen nation.
Why did God choose just one family, out of all people, to become his special people? Did God not care about the rest of the families and nations around the Earth?
Genesis 12:4-7
God gave one more promise to Abram: a promise of land. What land was it?
Why do you think God may have wanted his newly created nation (Israel) to have its own land?
These promises of multiplying Abram's descendants and ruling a piece of the Earth should remind us of something we have read before. Any ideas?
Genesis 11:27-12:3

In the center of the quaint municipality of Miraflores, Peru, stands Kennedy Park, or Parque Kennedy. In addition to its peaceful setting and picturesque views it also offers … cats. Lots of cats. In fact, approximately 80 stray cats make up the cats of Kennedy Park, where they are cared for and fed by a small group of anonymous guardian angels determined to keep them healthy and happy.
The story of the cats of Kennedy Park is one of mystery and intrigue, where good versus evil and so far at least, goodness prevails. No one knows for sure how it all started or where the first cats came from. But local residents agree that the first cats showed up in the Park at least 20 years ago.
I did not know of the Kennedy Park cats prior to my visit to Miraflores in 2013. It wasn't until I strolled in to the Park, innocently enough, and noticed a couple of cats lazing in the midday sun that I became enlightened. Closer inspection revealed a few more cats … and then a few more. Sleepy cats, playful cats – black, yellow and gray cats – all peacefully at home in their Park.
Local residents are split in their opinions of what to do about the felines. Some are pleased with the status quo, approving of the refuge the strays have found in the park, and appreciative of those who care for them. Others feel the cats of Kennedy Park are a nuisance and health hazard and should be removed, even euthanized. It would appear, however, that those arguments are not valid.
The group of caregivers who tend to the cats capture a couple individuals each week and take them to a local veterinarian who examines them, neuters all the males, vaccinates them and provides any other healthcare they need. They are kept until they have recovered from any treatment, and then taken back to the park.
In addition, the park is cleaned and disinfected twice each day using pet-safe products. This not only kills germs and bacteria, but keeps objectionable odors at bay. During my visit to Parque Kennedy, I saw no evidence of any cat-related bio-hazards.
There is one thing on which everyone seems to agree, however – the current cat population is large enough, and measures are taken to deter residents from dumping any more stray cats in the park.
For me, the cats of Kennedy Park added a delightfully unique experience to our tour of Peru. I can't imagine any tourists who would feel otherwise.

Bonanza for companies as Central Bank forks out €119m in fees
The Central Bank has spent €119m on professional fees since 2011 that includes a spend of €27.55m last year.
Figures released by the Central Bank in response to a Freedom of Information request show that the spend last year was marginally bigger that the 2013 spend of €26.98m.
The largest annual spend over the period was in 2011 when €35.2m was spent.
However, the lowest spend - on a pro-rata basis - is this year with €7m spent on professional fees for the first six months.
The big winner over the period is accountancy firm Ernst & Young (EY) which received €26.8m in fees, including €11m last year.
The payments to EY have slowed down dramatically this year with the firm receiving €396,016 for the first six months of this year.
Famously, EY were auditors of Anglo Irish Bank before the bust, earning €10.3m in fees from the bank over a 10-year period.
EY Ireland recorded an 18pc increase in revenues to the end of June 2014 going from €141.49m to €166m.
Another member of the 'Big Four' accountancy firms, KPMG, received €13.42m in fees while Blackrock Financial Management got €23m in fees with the €22m of that amount paid out in 2012 and 2011.

Deloitte also feature in the top 10 receiving €5.85m for audit fees and accountancy over the five years.

Grant Thornton received fees totalling €2.5m over the period.
Other firms to receive more than €1m over the period include Client Solutions, D-Fine, Equiniti ICS and legal firm Mazars which received €1.8m.

An accounting clerk audits and produces various financial records primarily for businesses and organizations. With the right skills, it can be a rewarding, challenging profession. About one in four accounting clerks work part time, with some working from home while others work in more traditional settings with room for growth and advancement. With an increasingly competitive job market, it's more important than ever to have a resume that stands out from the crowd in a good way.
Job Description & Duties
An accounting clerk may work in an office setting or visit various sites, especially with larger employers with multiple offices within a specific area. Job duties typically include preparing and updating statements, recording financial transactions, checking existing financial data for accuracy, and gathering relevant financial data for audits or tax preparations. An effective accounting clerk resume will highlight only relevant experience related to an employer's specific job duties. Each accounting clerk resume should be tailored to that employer's expectations.
Education & Training
An accounting clerk resume should clearly list any education, training, and previous experience related to the desired position. An accounting clerk should have a high school diploma or the equivalent. An ideal candidate for this line of work should have excellent math skills. While not always required, some employers prefer prior experience or additional education through either a two-year program or relevant college courses. Some employers will provide initial training or allow a qualified candidate to acquire more proficient skills while on the job. Keep in mind that other employers prefer someone who can start right away with little or no training, so it's important to determine what each prospective employer is looking for. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, an accounting clerk earns nearly 17 dollars per hour or approximately 35,000 dollars annually. The job outlook through 2022 is about average when compared with similar professions. The projected job growth for accounting clerks is around 12 percent. With increasingly complex tax codes and more regulations concerning financial accuracy, the demand for qualified individuals is expected to gradually increase. Use MyPerfectResume's sampless to get started with your own accounting clerk resume. Take a moment to view the sample for an sample of how to structure an effective accounting clerk resume. A well-crafted accounting clerk resume coupled with a personalized cover letter can set qualified candidates apart from similarly qualified job seekers.

Access to education beyond higher secondary schooling is a mere 10% among the university-age population in India. This is the finding of a report "Intergenerational and Regional Differentials in Higher Education in India" published by the Washington, DC based US India Policy Institute.
Dr. Bhalchandra Mungekar, Member of Parliament, India and a Patron of the Institute was invited for a 2-week tour of the US during March and April 2013.
US India Policy Institute dinner presentation on "Inclusive Development Strategies for Minorities – In the Decade Ahead" in Houston on April 5, 2014 was a success. With over 100 attendees attentively sitting in Mezban Banquet Hall, USIPI is moving forward in garnering a strong support system of Indian Americans working to make a difference in India.

Unanswered: Cannot call function with optional parameters from query with null data
I have a function that performs some calculations on two numbers and returns the results.
The data tables have blank values for some of the records. (I cannot update the records in this dataset)
If I try to call this function from a query I get #Error returned for the rows with null values. I have to surround the field names in the query with nz([field name],0) in order for the calculations to work correctly.
I have tried setting both of the function parameters as optional with default values of zero. I also tried using the nz call inside the function to handle null values that are passed in.
Is there a way to avoid the need for the nz call inside the query? This function will be used by several people who are ok with access but not great and I would like to be able to just call the function as calculate([field1],[field2]))

One way or the other you need to account for the nulls. You can call the function the way you want as long as you test for/replace nulls within it. Note that the parameters would have to be Variants to be able to pass nulls to the function.Paul

using the variant datatype will be slower than the native datatype, it may not be noticably slower but it is somethign to bear in mind. extensive use of user defined function is queries that process large amounts of data can significnatly affect throughput.
No doubt doing the null checking inside the function makes more sense then having to put a NZ test before each call to the function.

NEW ORLEANS -- Hundreds of thousands of weary Gulf Coast residents remained without power Thursday as Tropical Storm Isaac slowly headed inland, posing new threats of heavy flooding. Already, rising waters have forced scores of residents from their homes.
"Even though Isaac is no longer a hurricane, the life-threatening hazards from storm surge, inland flooding and tornadoes are still ongoing,'' Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman at the National Hurricane Center, told the Los Angeles Times. "We don't want anybody in that area that's being impacted to let their guard down.''
Isaac is expected to become a tropical depression by Thursday night.
The center of slow-moving Isaac, which was over Louisiana on Thursday morning, is expected to move over Arkansas on Friday and southern Missouri on Friday night. "But its impacts will be felt in those areas well before the arrival of the center,'' Feltgen said.
Tommy Jackson, a spokesman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management, said Thursday morning that rain from Isaac had begun falling in the southern part of the state.
The state has been suffering from a severe drought, he said, and officials are worried about the potential for flooding because the ground is so hard.

By Matt Kalish
Idaho's Jim Risch is ranked the country's most conservative senator by the National Journal.
The same magazine ranked Washington's Maria Cantwell as the fifth most liberal senator.
The two sit next to each other on the Senate Small Business Committee -- Cantwell is chairwoman, Risch is the top Republican -- but are miles apart politically.
Still, "we get along really well," Risch said Friday. "We have philosophical debates, which is fair, but a lot of this stuff is overblown."
The senators were in North Idaho to tour Bullet Tools, a Hayden company that makes a line of industrial cutters from raw metal stock. They also announced plans to introduce bipartisan legislation to renew a trade promotion program called STEP that expired in 2013.
Bullet Tools President Ben Toews told the senators that half his company's products go overseas -- exports that were aided with a STEP grant. The company was named the U.S. Small Business Administration's Exporter of the Year for the Northwest in 2009.
"What I've respected about Sen. Risch is from the first time I met him, he always wanted to talk substantively about the policy," Cantwell said in an interview. "If you can have an open and honest dialogue about something, that's what you need to do."
Said Risch, "In general, small-business issues aren't Republican or Democrat, they're American issues."
Cantwell and Risch also have worked closely with Senate colleagues Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, on issues affecting the Northwest. That continues a tradition of bipartisan work on behalf of the region, including the creation of the Bonneville Power Administration, a new bridge between Lewiston and Clarkston, and measures protecting salmon fisheries, said Marty Peterson, former aide to the late Sen. Frank Church, D-Idaho.
The two states' senators got along well in the 1960s and '70s despite disagreements on foreign policy and spending levels, Peterson said. "They just didn't get into areas where they disagreed," he added.
The current foursome agree on extending payments to local governments for land the federal government owns in their boundaries, and getting food products made from local crops into schools. They have also asked the government to act on issues surrounding the BPA and to rework the Columbia River Treaty.
Such cooperation isn't exclusive to the Washington and Idaho delegations, said Kyle Kondik of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, because local interests trump ideology.
The four can work together on issues surrounding forestry, agriculture and the technology industry, Cantwell said, because they share a Northwest frame of mind.
"Our states and region have a lot of products that are so similar," she said recently. "You're talking about things like permitting for hydropower that aren't partisan issues, but they're Northwest issues."
Cornell Clayton, director of Washington State University's Foley Institute for Public Policy, said that mindset might be pushed aside in coming years because the two states are heading in different directions politically.
"Idaho has become a lot more conservative, while the opposite is true for Washington," Clayton said.
Cantwell and Risch still think compromise can be found, such as on the Small Business Administration to help businesses get started and keep going.
"We're not going to agree on everything but we're going to go out and listen," she said. "I think he and I will get creative."

Moms today want to have perfect figure and just like their kids they want to look young. Usually moms gain weight after pregnancy. Perhaps, some mothers feel that they won't be able to reduce weight after that. But this is not true as you can easily get back into shape. Just read this article carefully so that your problem of weight loss could be solved.
In today's world, moms are struggling hard to reduce their weight. After pregnancy, moms want to reduce weight of stomach. It is possible to lose weight and belly fat in safe and effective manner after birth. You need to take care of two basic factors that are eating right and exercise regularly.
You should take proper and balanced diet which are low in calorie content. You should not drink juice but eat raw fruits and vegetables. Instead of eating three meals in a day, you must eat small meals that are five to six meals in a day. Some think that skipping breakfast will help in reducing weight but this is not true. Breakfast is the most important meal in your diet. Also, drink plenty of water in a day. Moreover, exercises are very essential for reducing weight. Therefore, mothers should exercise daily.
So if you want to reduce weight then you need to have nutritious diet and active lifestyle. The above methods will help you but you might not stick to it daily. For this, I would suggest you that you should join CMWM program in California. Working ladies are not able to maintain a proper routine from their busy schedule. It is thus one of the best ways to reduce their weight and get back into shape by this program.
Besides this, mothers who gain weight after pregnancy and want to reduce weight that to quickly should first consult a doctor instead of trying their own exercises. This is because doctor will advise you properly depending upon your body structure.
In this program, moms can get their weight reduce through physician weight loss. This is one of the best ways that I can advise you. Physician will give you proper medicines and will guide you at every step. You will not only reduce weight but will gain benefits. You will not have any health risk problems as your age gets increased and you will live longer. Join this program and you will get a perfect body structure so that you feel easily when you are with your kids.
Nicolas Bell is a famous author for health related articles. He has written many articles on weight loss program, weight loss clinics, weight control, weight loss facts, fitness and facts, weight loss program in San Jose and many more.

Greece struggles to get citizens to pay their taxes
ATHENS—Of all the challenges Greece has faced in recent years, prodding its citizens to pay their taxes has been one of the most difficult.
At the end of 2014, Greeks owed their government about €76 billion ($86 billion) in unpaid taxes accrued over decades; the government says only €9 billion of that can be recovered, with most of the rest lost to insolvency.
Billions more in taxes are owed on never-reported revenue from Greece's vast underground economy, which was estimated before the crisis to equal more than a quarter of the country's gross domestic product....
...Tax rates in Greece are broadly in line with those elsewhere in Europe. But Greeks have a widespread aversion to paying what they owe the state, an attitude often blamed on a combination of cultural and historical forces. During the country's centuries-long occupation by the Ottomans, avoiding taxes was a sign of patriotism. Today, that distrust is focused on the government, which many Greeks see as corrupt, inefficient and unreliable.
"Greeks consider taxes as theft," said Aristides Hatzis, an associate professor of law and economics at the University of Athens. "Normally taxes are considered the price you have to pay for a just state, but this is not accepted by the Greek mentality."

I have spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to estimate how large of a nest egg we will need to retire. I have concluded that there is only one practical way to do this and it involves creating a comprehensive retirement spending budget. Many so-called experts suggest using an income replacement ratio or an income multiplier to arrive at a retirement "number." In my humble opinion, that is a flawed approach.

How Not to Pursue a Second Career
Baby boomers are bombarded with articles and books about how to reinvent themselves, pursue a second career, and "finding their passion" after leaving a traditional workforce position. I support all of these concepts. However, implementing a "second career" plan requires a lot more care than some people realize. Curt Schilling, a highly successful professional baseball player, is now a prominent example of being careless in his "second career" planning.
Social Security Benefits When Your Spouse Retires Early
In 2009, I wrote a post on the key concepts of Social Security spousal benefits. This popular post continues to receive numerous search hits and comments. I regularly receive email questions about different claiming strategies involving married couples and Social Security. A frequent area of confusion is what happens if the spouse with lower lifetime earnings retires early and begins receiving Social Security retirement benefits at age 62.
Low Cost Identity Theft Protection
Identity protection, security and monitoring is a hot topic these days. You can buy identity theft insurance. You can also pay for monitoring services designed to prevent a third-party from using your name and credit for their financial gain. I am skeptical of the need and benefit of a lot of this. I prefer a low cost, pro-active approach. In no particular order, these are the ID protection steps we have taken:
Best States for Retirement – 2012 Edition
Another retirement list has been published by Topretirements.com. This one ranks the ten best states for retirement. I'm confident that many will shake their heads at some of the states on the list. But either way, reviewing retirement location lists and why certain places are there is worth your time.
Monitoring Year to Date 401k Performance
I wrote recently that I am trying to be more active and vigilant in managing our retirement investment holdings. In particular, I want to be sure that (a) there is a reason that we own each of the particular investments in our portfolio and (b) that I have targets for selling if necessary. Part of the vigilance is monitoring the performance of our portfolio in comparison to overall market conditions. If and when the market tanks, I don't want our portfolio to suffer an identical fate.
Does Buy and Hold Work for Today's Boomers?
For me, the last four years of economic turmoil have exposed many personal finance rules of thumb as rules of dumb. One of those may be the entrenched principal of "buy and hold" as a retirement investment strategy.
