The AAVSO online forums, chat room and e-mail discussion groups are available to the public (except where otherwise noted). However, we ask all participants to adhere to the following rules:
Update: The talk is completed. Videos of this talk, and the others, are available here. Also, here is a link to the policy webcast at STScI that Kevin referred to in his talk.
April 6, 2012 Update: The talk is over and went very well. We had a max of around 22 participants and the interaction with Bob was very informative. We attempted to record the talk using the built-in recording feature of the webinar software we are using (GoToWebinar by Citrix). It created a Windows Media Video (.wmv) file that plays correctly on a few Windows computers we tested on. However, when we tested it on OS X machines using a wide variety of video players we could never get it to fully work. We also attempted to upload it to YouTube and their software rejected the format as well. So we can't promise it will work on all computers. We are investigating alternatives for recording future webinars.
Click here to download a recording of the talk (170MB WMV file).
(There is some technical chit chat at the beginning - you may want to skip 5-10 minutes into the recording for the good stuff)
We are hosting two online chats today. The formal topic is the new CHOICE classes, but you can of course stop by to ask any other questions about the AAVSO or VSO as well.
The chats are at:
3-4pm ET (+5UT)

Faced with massive budget deficits, state legislators across the country are looking to chop college education funding to fill the gaps. The federal government will likely trim back aid as well. So, students and their families will have to start shouldering more of the costs themselves.
The above is likely high on your clients' list of worries. Fortunately, college is still one of the smartest investments clients can make for their kids. This article identifies actions you can advise clients to take to put them on the right path.
Get an Early Start
Assuming tuition increases only by 5% per year in the future (that is, only about 2% faster than inflation), parents of a baby born today would have to save $385 each month in order to afford housing and tuition at the average state school. Putting off saving until age 5 bumps the value to $465. The required monthly amount grows to $780 if you don't start saving until your kid is in middle school. These amounts are averages for public schools. Do you want to send Johnny to Yale? Then plan on putting $1,100 a month away starting the day you bring him back from the hospital. In other words, saving early and often is your best strategy for success.
Set Up a 529 Plan
These calculations assume a return on investments equal to 6% for each year before your child actually heads to college. Most people will earn much less than that amount if they save in a bank account. Fortunately, the government encourages saving for college with various tax-preferred college savings programs. Just a few years ago, there was an ongoing debate about the best program choice. However, recent changes in legislation have made for a fairly clear winner for the vast majority of households: the 529 plan.
One neat feature about a 529 plan is that you are not required to use it in your own state to receive the federal tax benefits. Evaluations of which 529 plan to use can be aided by using a website such as www.collegesavings.org. At Veritat Advisors, the firm I co-founded, we often recommend the Iowa 529 plan for many of our clients because of its small minimum required investment, low fees and good user experience. Some non-Iowa residents will forfeit the tax deduction against their own state income taxes; some other states, though, will still allow the deduction. But even if your state does not, your own state's 529 plan might not be the best option if it has high fees.
Veritat's own calculations reveal that a 529 plan with a low expense ratio will often more-than-offset a state tax savings for many households. So, be mindful of expenses as well as taxes.
After choosing a 529 plan, clients should follow a regular savings schedule. There are many online calculators to help them determine how much they need to save. However, some caution is in order. Besides making simple assumptions, these calculators fail to balance out your other life's priorities, such as paying down debt, getting a house, affording retirement, and, oh, paying for your kid's braces before he or she actually goes to college. That's one reason why good financial advisors believe in comprehensive planning: You need to have a game plan that realistically balances your different life objectives since you cannot save for everything. Financial planning is not simply about figuring out how much to save and where to invest. It's first about reflecting about what you really want to accomplish in life.
Moreover, clients need to invest their 529 savings wisely. They should not be seduced by larger projected returns — they come with more risk. Instead, suggest a "safety first" approach and make sure that the risk level of investments matches clients' willingness to potentially fall short of their intended goal. Investment risk should also weigh clients' future capacity to earn and save money in case things do go wrong.
Many 529 plans offer investment options that become more conservative automatically as college approaches. While these target-date funds seem simple enough, they are often still very risky, and some 529 plans indeed suffered large losses in 2008. Even if clients are in one of these funds, their investments should be revisited regularly.
Maximize Assistance
Despite the recent increase in average tuition and fees, the good news is that grants ("financial aid") and federal tax benefits have grown fast enough during recent years to more-than-offset the higher costs for most families. The federal government alone subsidizes higher education to the tune of $200 billion per year. Although much less common, students who decide to work for the Peace Corps or other designated public or private organizations can also qualify for debt relief or even full forgiveness.
However, the bad news is that the government's generosity, at both the federal and state levels, going forward is in serious decline in light of enormous budget deficits. Clients need to consider taking the following measures:
Pay off credit cards and mortgages. When determining financial aid, schools look at assets, not net worth (assets minus debt). So, if clients have some extra cash sitting around, then paying debt reduces their assets but not their net worth, making them better positioned to receive financial aid.
Avoid taking retirement distributions. Retirement assets are not counted when determining financial aid, so it's desirable to keep money in retirement accounts as long as possible. Clients should only take the required minimum distributions when they have to do so. Fortunately, RMDs can be deferred until age 70.5, so that's an unlikely concern for most parents.
Play the intergenerational trading game. In general, a student's assets and income are penalized more heavily in financial aid calculations than the parents' resources. The grandparents' stuff is ignored altogether. So, clients should spend the student's resources before their own. Moreover, while a 529 plan is counted as an asset for determining financial aid, it counts much less if it is held by the parent. Even better, have the child's grandparents hold it so that it does not count at all.
Of course, if clients are really funding the grandparents' 529 plan, then they have to limit annual contributions to avoid producing a gift tax, but that's pretty easy to do.
Snag a Loan
If a clients' savings by the start of classes fall short, they may have to make up the difference with loans. And, they wouldn't be alone. The average student debt has increased over the past decade to almost $25,000. Many students are currently paying a fixed annual interest rate of 6.8% for federal Stafford loans, while some parents are paying 8.5% on PLUS loans. Those rates are pretty high, but, unlike credit card debt, interest on education loans is typically tax-deductible, thereby reducing the true comparable interest rate.
Shop for a Better Price
Another option is to shop for a better price. Although Penn, where I am a professor, ranks high in national rankings, other schools, like Emory in Atlanta or Case Western Reserve in Ohio, might actually be better values when you compare future projected salaries versus the cost of the degree. This principle is fairly general. A child is better off going to a large state school, enrolling in the honors program, and working his or her "tail off" than being average at a top private school. Of course, clients should not rule out applying to the top private schools if their kid happens to be a "smarty pants." Many schools, like Harvard, Princeton and Penn, now offer free tuition to promising students.
Another option is to do the first two years at a local community college and then transfer to a regular four-year college. The average two-year program costs only $2,713 per year. To be sure, community colleges have garnered a bad rap in the past. Indeed, some academic studies have shown that students who start down this path typically don't command as large of a future salary as those who start in a regular four-year college. However, these studies are often biased by "sample selection," that is, the likelihood of lower-performing students to select a community college in the first place. In other words, they would have earned a lower income even if they had attended a regular four-year program from the get-go. Indeed, students who start in community colleges are generally 15% less likely to eventually graduate, and so they might be a different crowd altogether.
While the academic debate over community colleges continues, probably the best advice is for clients to give a community college serious consideration if they live in a state like California where community colleges are widely accepted as entry points into four-year college programs. However, starting at a community college in a state like Florida is a bit riskier, since the standards and norms are different, making it harder to transfer to a four-year program in order to have a strong finish.
So, clients must do their homework when selecting a community college. They should start backward by first picking the eventual intended four-year college (and a backup college if the desired four-year college is highly selective) and find out which courses from the community college will successfully transfer for credit. Then, make sure their kid actually works hard in community college, which can sometimes be a challenge if he or she is still close to home and around his or her friends. Community college is not break time.
Deploy "Kid Share"
Parents should not feel guilty: their child can help pay for his or her own college education. And, yes, consistent with conventional wisdom, it is also true that kids are more likely to value their education if they know that they will need future earnings to pay off loans.
Clients who want to pay part of the schooling can consider creating an incentive schedule based on grades. One tempting approach — to be avoided — is to loan kids the money and claim that they will owe the parents less back if they get good grades. This approach is not credible over time, even if written on paper. If a kid underperforms and can't find a good job, parents will be out the money — and are not really going to report their own child to a credit bureau.
So, instead of giving him or her a personal loan, parents should pay for some of the tuition when it is actually due and have junior take out a student loan for the remainder, so that an official third-party is involved. Then, maybe increase your tuition subsidy over time with better grades. Plus, clients always have the option to help pay back the student loans later on if they decide their kid is pursuing an honorable profession like relief work in South Sudan.
However, parents should try to resist manipulating their child too much when it comes to choice of degree. Paying for that engineering degree could really backfire and build a mountain of debt if the child eventually drops out anyway. A parent could also end up with a kid who resents them and ends up rejecting all of their good wisdom. Of course, it's also bad to loosen your standards too much: Too many gym-like classes on the schedule might require a thoughtful parental conversation. Some balance is most reasonable.
For Some: Plan B
Finally, another option — call it Plan B — is for clients to withdraw monies from their tax-deferred retirement accounts when college time arrives. Unless it is a Roth-based plan where they paid the taxes upfront, they will have to pay income taxes on the money. But, they can avoid the usual additional 10% "early withdrawal penalty" if the monies are used for higher-education expenses. Moreover, retirement accounts are not counted by colleges when, for financial aid calculations, they estimate one's ability to pay. So, it sounds tempting to view retirement accounts as playing double duty, right? It looks even more appealing if you convince yourself that you will eventually pay yourself back before reaching retirement.
However, clients who do this are playing with fire in two ways. First, the payback rarely happens in practice. Second, unlike most 529 plans, retirement accounts have fairly restrictive limits on how much one can contribute each year, thereby limiting one's ability to fund a retirement efficiently.
I recommend Plan B only for older households who clearly have enough cash socked away in retirement accounts and want to support grandchildren or adult kids. For everyone else, a bit of careful planning, following the steps above, should help avoid Plan B, putting your kids on the right path to future success.

Holocaust survivor, writer and philanthropist Elie Wiesel is writing a book with President Barack Obama, he tells Ofer Aderet in an interview published in Haaretz Friday:
Wiesel, who celebrated his 84th birthday on September 30, looks and sounds well and says he is up to his neck in work – despite the open-heart surgery he underwent a year ago. […] Much of his time is devoted to writing …
He did, however, agree to disclose an interesting project that will resume after the presidential elections in the United States. "[President Barack] Obama and I decided to write a book together, a book of two friends," he says.
Wiesel became friends with Obama in 2009, a few months after the Democratic candidate was elected. Obama's staff invited Wiesel to join the president on a visit to the site of Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany. Wiesel had first arrived at the camp at the end of World War II, with his father and other prisoners, following a death march from Auschwitz. His mother and his younger sister were murdered there, while Wiesel and his father, who did forced labor there, survived; his father died at Buchenwald. Only Wiesel and two of his sisters were still alive at the liberation.
When Obama concluded his remarks at Buchenwald, he whispered to Wiesel, "The last word has to be yours here." Choking with tears, Wiesel made an impromptu speech in which he said to Obama, "Mr. President, we have such high hopes for you, because you, with your moral vision of history, will be able and compelled to change this world into a better place … You are our last hope."
Since then, he adds, the two have become good friends and he is occasionally invited to dinner by the president: "We talk about philosophy, contemplation, thought, but never about politics. He is a thinking person, a person with depth and intellectual curiosity."

They Shouldn't Give Up Their Day JobDecember 8, 2011
So while perusing the internets, I stumbled across two of the newest commercials from the fine folks at Dave & Adams Card World.
Sad Pommers and Sad Tyler are just too much. Also, a jpg of players holding a "sale" sign should be included with every single Darcy Regier trade proposal. How could a GM say no to a hockey player holding a for sale sign?
This one is just noteworthy because of Pominville's barely restrained laughter and Myers exuberance at having a whole two lines to say.
This is what the Sabres have driven me to; critiquing their commercials.

Under pressure from feds, WWE cancels poll-day giveaway
It's not often that Vince McMahon calls someone a bully.
But the World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive, who is married to Republican Senate candidate Linda McMahon, is referring to the Justice Department in those terms.
McMahon pulled the plug Monday on a planned Election Day giveaway of wrestling merchandise at select polling locations across Connecticut, citing pressure from the Justice Department, whom he accused of abusing its power.
"This is clearly heavy-handed bullying from big government and would appear to be a desperate political activity in closely contested elections in Connecticut," Vince McMahon said in a statement. "This is consistent with some attorney generals' tactics that threaten litigation for political gain."
McMahon went public with a Nov. 1 letter from the Justice Department warning the Stamford-based wrestling company that it is a federal offense to "pay or offer to pay an individual a thing of value for voting."
The DOJ edict alluded to the controversial giveaway, which WWE announced last Thursday and was said by critics to be an illegal publicity stunt aimed at promoting Linda McMahon's candidacy for Senate.
"Please note the department's understanding that this statute prohibits a person from providing a thing of value -- such as clothing -- in return for an individual's participation in the voting process," Richard Pilger, director of the DOJ's Election Crimes Branch, wrote to Jerry McDevitt, a Pittsburgh lawyer who has served as outside counsel for WWE for 20 years. The penalty is of up to five years imprisonment and a fine of up to $250,000 for a violation of the statute.
The Justice Department is the latest agency to tangle with the WWE in the final throes of the bitter contest between Linda McMahon and longtime Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
Democratic Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz drew the ire of the WWE when her office advised local election officials that they were empowered to make voters wearing company-licensed clothing to cover up because it could be construed as promotional.
"Even bringing it up was totally outlandish," Linda McMahon said of a potential ban on WWE attire in an interview last Thursday.
The company filed a lawsuit against Bysiewicz, who backed down from her position after a judge ruled that wrestling fans could wear WWE apparel to the polls.
Vince McMahon sent out samples of giveaway items to reporters covering the race and to Bysiewicz in turn.
"I can't think of a better way for WWE fans to celebrate their constitutional rights and freedom of expression while voting than to proudly wear the WWE merchandise that Connecticut Secretary of (the) State Susan Bysiewicz attempted to prohibit from the polls," McMahon said.
Linda McMahon denied that there was any clandestine coordination between the WWE and her campaign, as some of her critics have accused.
"I did not know about the lawsuit until it was filed," McMahon said. "So there is not coordination between my campaign and WWE, unlike Mr. Blumenthal. There's absolutely proof that he coordinated with Planned Parenthood."
McMahon was referring to a internal e-mail from a Blumenthal staffer to Democratic operatives that was leaked to the media seeking misogynistic photographs of female WWE wrestlers for a Planned Parenthood hit piece on the Republican.
Asked if she had any knowledge about the merchandise giveaway, McMahon said she only found out about it from the press release that WWE put out last Thursday.
"I think the intent behind is just to say, 'You're free to wear what you want to the polls,' " McMahon said.

College Activities: Not-So-Incidental Learning
So, you're in college or off to college soon.
Big question: Are you having fun yet?
If the answer is "no," what I say is this — get yourself out of the classroom, your nose out of that book, flee the lab, and vacate the library. If you don't, you're going to miss out on a large part of your college education. That's right! The college experience offers a great deal more than scholarship — it also offers countless opportunities to gain confidence and know-how in making things happen.
A long-lost college friend contacted me the other day. She reports that she is now highly successful in college development work: designing and producing an award-winning newsletter and promotional videos, writing and supervising large-scale grants, and planning and executing fundraising events. She loves her work and does it well. "A lot of this stuff," she confides, "is just my work with the Distinguished Visitors Program and the university concert association 'grown up.'" My friend was referring to her undergraduate extracurricular activities.
As I thought about it, I realized that, like her, a great many of my college friends are engaged in careers related to what they did in their "free time" while at school. Oddly enough, almost none of them is making a living at jobs related to their undergraduate majors.
Knowing this, I find it ironic that I don't remember my professors, my parents, or my advisor talking with me about what I did outside of the classroom (except when they thought it was interfering with my grade-point average). The admissions people did stress the sports, cultural activities, clubs, and opportunities for "student life" as part of their marketing strategy. But once I was in school, no one talked with me about how to take advantage of the many enjoyable and rewarding opportunities available. No one helped me to understand that, far from "goofing off," participating in these activities would ultimately have tremendous value for me personally and professionally.
The activities of campus life are not incidental to the "real" work of college. They are the forum for mastering the organizational and people skills that are requisite to being successful in almost any profession. Campus activities provide practice in working with others to solve problems, meet deadlines, prepare and spend within a budget, make money, make something happen, and make sure that others know about it. And, unlike high school, college-level clubs and activities often have little adult involvement; students have the freedom to test their abilities, to make and learn from mistakes, and to celebrate successes that are indeed all their own.

Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na Hindi Movie
Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na is a 2008 Indian movie directed by Abbas Tyrewala starring Imraan Khan, Ganelia, Abbas Tyrewala and Naseeruddin Shah. The feature film is produced by Aamir Khan and MANSOOR KHAN and the music composed by A R Rahman.
Language: Hindi
Director: Abbas Tyrewala
Our story begins at the airport. With a story. When Rotlu. Jiggy, Bombs and Shaleen offer to tell Mala the tale of Ja... Show more
Our story begins at the airport. With a story.
When Rotlu. Jiggy, Bombs and Shaleen offer to tell Mala the tale of Jai and Aditi - a match made in the pastry shop of heaven - Mala is convinced that she is in for yet another clichéd love story with joys and sorrows, happiness and heartbreak, laughter and songs, fights... and a climax at the airport.
And indeed, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na is all of that. And more!
Meet Jai Singh Rathore ('Rats'), the most non-violent Rajput either side of the Aravallis. And meet, if you dare, the violent and passionate Aditi Mahant ('Meow'). Whatever you do, do not pick a fight with her. She scratches. And abuses. If you do get into a scrap, take cover till Jai arrives, as he alone can calm our snarling wildcat.
Never was there a less likely couple. Jai thinks Aditi's parents should have rinsed her mouth with soap when she was a child. Aditi thinks that Jai is the biggest coward she has ever encountered. Heaven, it seems, has mixed up its apples and oranges.
More nuts in this fruitcake scenario: Rotlu weeps secretly for Aditi. Bombs' heart explodes for Jai. Jiggy applies golden mascara to his hair. Shaleen... Well, she's probably the only one who doesn't seem a few notes short of a concerto.
So, to come back to our story: Jai and Aditi are perfect for each other (in some odd, distorted way, impossible to understand). Friends know this. Parents know this. Everybody knows this. But do Rats and Meow know?
Can two people ever, truly, know the secrets of their hearts? And how do you know it's the real thing?
When do you know it's love?
Add to this quandary a quarrelling portrait, strange dreams of a desert warrior, a dope-head brother and his pet mouse, two Rajput 'cowboys', three ancestral conditions, a fateful night in jail, a climactic ride to the airport...
... And there, you have it! Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. The coolest, warmest, hippest, funniest musical-romantic-comedy of the decade.
Well, at least of the last few years.
Ok, maybe this year.
Fine, the coolest, warmest... etc. to release on Friday 4th July, 2008.
For Sure!

To Seize the Moment — or Not
I have been working on a new book. The writing gods have not been as generous this time around as when I wrote "Practical Glamour." So when the words start a-flowing, I type and type and don't stop until the spout is turned off. I seize the moment.
In other words, inspiration comes and goes; it ebbs and flows. So when she or he comes around, it's important to grab it and run with it – whatever the form! If you hear it knocking, and you know it to be good, stride over to the door and open it with a "Hello!"
Listen to "it" and follow — and see what happens. Maybe you'll make that phone call you've been thinking about making forever.
Seizing the moment comes with the task of discernment. In other words, don't let an opportunity pass you by, but it's wise to think before acting.
For instance, if you have doubt as to the goodness (or not) of that knock, call or that instinct, it is advisable to pause before you leap. Pause and become the super-sharp, conscious judge of that instinct.
We all have the inherent judgement of that which is in our rational self-interest – and what is not. There are things that cloud it, whether these things come from our personal psychology, or grasping onto emotions that don't serve us.
The cliche about searching for the answer within yourself is well-worn but accurate. Perhaps you have to dig a bit harder than most, through your own layers. But it is there, and you will find it.
When you do, it is vital to determine that the answer is a pure one, not clouded by edicts of others. Their desires may or may not be consistent with you having a good and decent life.

Saturday football
HUDDERSFIELD vs SPURS (1230 ko)
This has something of the David and Goliath about it, to borrow from the Old Testament. Goliath should be too strong, of course, but league games after a European away day aren't always a given. Speaking ahead of the game, David Wagner said, "We want to pull them down to our level and then neutralise their offensive abilities." Such insight, such honesty. Let's hope they succeed. Away win.
BOURNEMOUTH vs LEICESTER
These teams are the bread of a West Ham sandwich. Neither side has started the season well and both will be looking to boost their league standing today. That should make for an open, entertaining game for anyone that may be watching. Draw.
MAN UTD vs CRYSTAL PALACE
Roy Hodgson knew what he was taking on and this will be as great a test as any for his new charges. Palace have only one fit striker, someone called Ladapo, who has not so far played a game for the first team. Damage limitation is the name of the game, but it'll be no surprise if we see a rugby score after 90 minutes. Home win.
STOKE vs SOUTHAMPTON
The Saints have had real trouble scoring goals and have only scored in one game so far this season. No prizes for guessing who their opponents were then. A clean sheet at the Britannia will be their priority today, which could make for a less than thrilling encounter. Draw.
WEST BROM vs WATFORD
The Baggies are another team that's struggled to find the back of the net. No such worries for Watford, who have won all their away games – but shipped six at home to Man City. There are worse games to whet the neutral's appetite. Draw.
WEST HAM UNITED vs SWANSEA CITY
This is a genuine opportunity to put our season into gear and climb a few places up the table – and the first of four games that we should win. And it's exactly the sort of game that we will need to win if mid-table security is to be achieved. There are many who will have aspired to greater things than that at the start of the campaign, but that's the reality. Swansea have scored in only two league games so far, but have improved their defence since last year. So we can expect to face a well-organised and disciplined side. Antonio should be back in the starting line-up, while Lanzini may make the bench. We're the stronger team, on paper, and have home advantage. All eyes on tactics. Home win.
CHELSEA vs MAN CITY (1730 ko)
The defending champions take on many people's favourites for the title this year in a fine ending to the day's Premier League line-up. City have proved they can still win without Aguero, but his absence is certainly a blow. Chelsea would have been equal on points with City if they hadn't messed up against Burnley on the opening day. They are a strong team that seems little diminished by Costa's departure. I have a feeling they'll sneak this. Home win.

Good win and performance by Burnley. Their goal was a well worked team effort.
We'll do well to get a point up there in a couple of weeks. We have a better squad than Dyche though so there is still a chance of a win.
As for Koeman what has got into him. Three consecutive PL seasons with over 60 points each time and now Everton are finding life difficult.

Recent Court policy changes have facilitated a change in Criminal Defense Attorney Portal (CDAP) access, which are effective as of today. This change will impact all current registered users of CDAP, as well as new users who wish to register for CDAP access. CDAP will no longer require a paid subscription. CDAP will be free of charge.
In order to comply with internal controls and best practices for technology solutions, the Court will be requiring all CDAP users to create a User Profile by newly registering a User Name and Password on the Court's new website. The website can be found at: https://OCPortal.OCCourts.org
The website will provide the ability for Attorneys to select a package entitled CDAP Access and add it to their shopping cart and complete a "purchase". At that point, the Attorney must fill out the online CDAP Application Form and provide all required information, including Bar Number and a valid Case Number. These data will be matched to our system to validate the identity of the Attorney. If the Attorney's identity cannot be automatically validated, he/she will receive a notification advising of next steps.
The User's subscription will be for a duration of one year. Our system will generate an email to each Attorney, as provided in the User Profile, asking him/her to renew access to CDAP. If no response is received within 30 days, CDAP access will be disabled.
The link previously used to access CDAP will remain active for approximately two weeks. All existing and new users should register at the new portal as soon as possible. Thank you!

The ongoing crusade against any domains that feature the word "easy" by Easy Group and its head Stelios Haji-Ioannou may finally have come unstuck with art print site Easyart.com.
CEO of Easyart.com, Simon Matthews, is just one of many people that have been unfairly targeted by the multi-national conglomerate for making use of the word "easy" on the Internet. But, tired of Easy Group's constant legal threats, Mr Matthews has sent the company an ultimatum: sue me or get the lawyers off my back.
In common with hundreds of other sites, Mr Matthews received a letter just before Xmas from Easy Group's lawyers informing him that he was guilty of "passing off" on Easy Group's good name. It demanded he handed over the domain or face the courts.
Mr Matthews consulted his lawyers and found out what many before him had discovered - Mr Haji-Iannou and his company didn't have a leg to stand on but the costs of any legal battle were potentially ruinous. "I've been told the costs will be around £50,000 and even if I win, we will lose 20 per cent of that," Mr Matthews told us, adding that he had already spent £7,000 to £8,000 so far on lawyers.
He refuses to back down though, declaring: "If he [Stelios] does decide to sue us, he'll have a fight on his hands." Easyart.com sells pictures and posters of a wide range of art and currently hires 15 staff. Mr Matthews says he should make a profit in the last quarter of this year. But although its business is a million miles away from the airline flights, car hire and Internet cafes that Easy Group run, the company argues that even by owning an "easy" domain it is trying to feed of its efforts.
The main domain name arbitrator, WIPO, doesn't agree, and ruled that "easy" is an extremely common word and no company can claims rights over it. The High Court doesn't agree either, deciding in one of only two cases to actually go to court (the other was settled) that Easy Group had no rights over the word "easy" and could not prevent anyone from registering a company or domain with the word in.
In that case - relating to easyRealestate.co.uk - Easy Group actually won the case since the domain owner had clearly copied easyJet's set-up, colours and design. He had also attempted to sell the domain to Easy Group at an inflated price.
Easyart.com bears no similarity to any of Easy Group's sites and Mr Haji-Iannou is personally aware that there is no intention to sell the domain since Mr Matthews made the point very clear when he met him face-to-face in April in the hope of clearing up any misunderstanding.
Mr Matthews told us that he thought the issue had been settled after his meeting with the self-proclaimed champion of the people but was stunned when another letter arrived a month ago. In it, Easy Group's lawyers explained that it had taken a survey of 99 random punters and discovered that seven of them felt that Easyart.com was confusingly similar to Easy Group's interests.
"This was clearly a deliberate attempt to prolong my legal fees," Mr Matthews told us. "So I sent back a letter asking for all future correspondence to be sent direct to me." In the letter, he also requested that Stelios make good on his claims to take him to court or leave him be. "I've not heard a peep since," he told us. "And that was a couple of weeks ago."
Mr Matthews is not confident that that will be the end of it though. Whether Easy Group decides to leave Easyart.com alone to avoid setting a legal precedent or goes through with its threat is anyone's guess. Mr Matthews mind is made up ,though: "Someone's got to stop him." ®

The exteriors of a house do make a good impression, but the impression must last inside the residence. A good set of interiors must all start with a concept, a theme, a palette with the help of amazing professionals.
Today at Homify, we're featuring one of Quezon City's finest architectural and interior designing firms, ABG Architects and Builders. Specializing in architectural design built services, consultancy, general construction, and project management, the team definitely is the perfect professional to feature today! Moreover, the company highlights innovative and practical interior designs with a lot of character and style. Let's go check them out!
First on our stylish list of interior design projects is this peaceful bedroom by ABG. Painted all in white, the bedroom shows a very clean and cool vibe that ultimately relaxes the mind, body, and soul of the homeowner. To add a little bit of colorful inspiration, a few touches of color here and there flourish throughout the room. Wooden details such as the flooring, window sidings, and a couple furniture pieces make the bedroom cozier and more grounded.
The palette and theme are two of the most important factors to consider when designing a bedroom. The theme reflects on the homeowner's personality, so it's imperative to know the who you are working for. ABG Architects and Builders are experts on that matter.
This lovely bedroom is obviously owned by a young teenager or a woman with a youthful personality. Drenched in lavender hues and white tones, this pretty bedroom is surely a room to remember.
Ambient, task, and accent lighting are all important lighting components in any room. Pictured above, the room is abundant in lighting fixtures that are accessible and convenient for the homeowner. Plus, a window right beside the bed is an added asset for natural light!
As mentioned above, themes are amazing ideas for a personalized bedroom. A themed bedroom gives character and personality to the room. This specific example features anime wall stickers and paintings that show off the interests of the room dweller. The colors, room decor, and materials used also work in perfect harmony.
Edgy and rustic in one room? Did we hear that right? ABG Architects and Builders's team is an expert on that fusion! Just check out their project featuring this stunning bar and lounge area -- it offers the best of both worlds! The edgy and modern vibe shows through the clean lines and angles while the rustic charm boasts through the warm dark wood elements and colors.
Accent lighting is the perfect way to highlight any spot in the to make it a potential focal point. As shown above, the hidden lighting fixtures create a dramatic aura to the room, making it a showstopper in the entire house.
ABG Architects and Builders is also fond of boasting our country's indigenous works of art as house centerpieces. Pictured above, this bamboo design brings us back to our Filipino roots and shows our Filipino pride. It's best paired with standing potted plants, sitting on a bed of stones and pebbles.
The list doesn't stop when it comes to ABG's projects on natural and indigenous materials. This relaxing area designed by the team features bamboo poles as a backdrop and a rattan lounging chair painted in bold black. Moreover, the accent chairs are also made of deep Mahogany wood.
Check out these 6 popular indigenous materials used in the Filipino home.
ABG Architects and Builders also serves commercial spaces that need a little life to their property. This specific project shows how bright colors should be done. A lovely array of tangerine orange, apple green, and sky blue work in perfect unison in this lobby area. To balance out the vibrancy, a whole dash of white and wooden details match the colors.
This amazing interior designing firm also specializes in creating innovative designs that fit just right in any household. Pictured above, this hidden cabinet is built with a large sliding door/mirror! Aside from its smart dual use, the cabinet is also equipped with numerous shelves for storage.
Here are 11 practical space-saving solutions for the modern home for more storage ideas!
These days, families are more drawn to the modern and contemporary styles. That is why ABG features a lot of sleek and trendy interior designs to the public eye. Along with the ideal palette and design of spaces, modern decor and furniture pieces are shown throughout their projects.
No matter how many styles, themes, and colorful palettes evolve in the interior designing world, an all-white set of interiors still captures a homeowner's heart. There's just a sense of purity and serenity with the all-white approach. Plus, it's very minimal and modern too!

This is the most critical dimension involved in specifying Low Profile Span Track to fit into pallet rack. To determine the track length you need, measure between the beams from the innermost of each beam. The Between Beam Dimension represents the level, horizontal distance between the front and rear beams. Measure the level distance between the innermost part of each beam. If more than one length will fit, you should select the length that provides the most range for your application. You will need to set the discharge elevation later, based on the weight of your cartons. Unsupported spans of up to 10' are possible, depending on product weights. See the list below for a guideline. If you have questions about this dimension or other configuration issues, contact Customer Service.See our comprehensive page on specifying low profile carton flow track.

Higher growth momentum in advanced countries has helped to strengthen the global economy in early 2011, but the prospect of high inflation is becoming a key concern in emerging economies particularly in Asia. Higher oil prices have created a headwind but its impact on global growth will depend on the reaction of policy-makers. While some are questioning the ability of the Asian central bank to intervene, the monetary policies of the United States and Europe may follow different paths. Beyond the potential impact on exchange rates, it may favor an increasing diversity of growth experiences which could hamper the re-balancing of the global economy. The silver-lining may lie in fixed capital formation but only if business confidence proves resilient.
Join us for this webcast and find out about how we effectively use the Leading Economic Index (LEI) for China and other Emerging Economies and the LEI for the Euro Area and the United States to answer the following questions:
Is there a risk of overheating in China?
Will China export inflation?
Can inflation derail growth in Europe?
What indicators to watch for navigating these turbulent times?

Education Jobs Bill Proceeds to Vote
'Partisan politics couldn't kill this bill,' says NEA President
WASHINGTON - August 04, 2010 -
The U.S. Senate today was able reach 61 votes to proceed with H.R. 1586, which includes much-needed funds to help states cope with the Great Recession and to fund an extension of the increased federal match for Medicaid (FMAP). An amendment offered by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) to H.R. 1586, the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act, would create an Education Jobs Fund to stave off massive layoffs of public school educators and harmful cuts to education programs. The Senate also defeated by a vote of 61-38 an attempt by Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) and Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) to further stall the bill with a procedural tactic, claiming that the legislation added to the federal deficit, despite the fact that the Congressional Budget Office reported that the legislation would reduce the deficit by over $1 billion in the next 10 years.
According to a National Education Association analysis, the fund will prevent layoffs of approximately 138,000 educators. Both the education jobs funding and the FMAP extension are fully offset. The Congressional Budget Office confirmed yesterday that H.R. 1586 will actually reduce the budget deficit by $1.4 billion over the next decade.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"The educators, students and parents who have fought hard for crucial funding are now one step closer. This bill is fully paid for, and will actually reduce the budget deficit over the next 10 years. It's a no-brainer. We thank Senator Reid, Senator Murray, Senator Harkin, and Senator Schumer for their steadfast leadership. We applaud Senators Snowe and Collins from Maine in particular for not allowing partisan roadblocks to stand in the way of what students need."

I was diagnosed with cancer on August 25, 2014. It was a shock, like being hit hard on the head. What about my life? What about my plans? What about my dreams? Was my life destined to be full of pain? Was this thing going to kill me?
The doctor said it was Mesothelioma, the type of cancer associated with breathing in asbestos dust. I have no idea how I got it, but luckily, it was caught in the early stage.
Before the diagnosis, I had it all mapped out. I had been approached about an opportunity to relocate from Mauritius, where I was based, to Israel to work for a potential new customer. The future seemed so exciting. It was looking like it might all come together. Then this.
After the diagnosis, I told my Accenture manager, Lana--she is an incredible boss, a good friend and a fabulous mentor. She counselled me, supported me, and put me in touch with people within the company who could help me.
I had to take nearly a year off work. My company gave me all the leave I needed for treatment and recovery and gave me emotional and practical support to navigate things like insurance and medical leave. Personal administration was really the last thing on my mind, but it was important and the support was invaluable.
Earlier this year, I learned that I had received a Mike Scott Trailblazer award from my company. The award honors a colleague who had died of cancer and was a trailblazer at work. Established in the UK, the award is given to employees who have made a significant difference at work and have faced personal challenges.
As my manager mentioned during the award presentation, I'm probably the only Italian employee who never worked in Italy. I joined Accenture, a global professional services company, in Prague in September 2005 and worked in Slovakia, Romania and Mauritius. In collaboration with the recruiting and learning team in Mauritius, we ran a project called "Italian Academy " -- three months of intensive Italian classes and accounting. Over three years, we increased the number of deals transferred from Italy to Mauritius from two to 12.
I won the award because I represent the company's core value of one global network. I worked on cross-cultural assignments. I never lost the client focus. I have always been deeply curious and collaborative. I always look to the best way to operate and improve, while struggling every day to grow, to mentor and to develop people in my team. Even before my diagnosis, "resilient" would have been a key word to describe me.
I always put a lot of passion, interest and energy in the work and brought those same qualities to fighting the cancer.
The award was an incredible honor. People from all over the world sent messages to congratulate me and encourage me to keep fighting my cancer.
I had a wave of e-mails from colleagues sharing their stories about how they had fought cancer or experienced loss in their families. I also had experienced great loss. In a period of two years, I lost my husband-to-be and both of my parents. The support and kindness of my colleagues meant a lot. It gave me real strength and an incredible feeling of belonging to a big company, a big network, and a big family.
My cancer is currently stable. My health is improving, I am back, working from home now, and I am looking forward to working in the Milan office starting in January 2016. I feel like it's a new beginning. I am positive, I am planning, and I am dreaming again. Things are looking up!

GOOD Music veteran, Kid Cudi, closed out Coachella Saturday night performing a myriad of hits we all know and love. Week 1 of the festival has already been filled with heartwarming special moments as we listened to artist remind us to appreciate the special moments of life and the dedications to those we've lost.
It was Cudi's 2010 hit, Pursuit of Happiness that truly gave the perfect ending to the night. The Day 'N' Nite singer took a moment to dedicate his closing song to Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle who both sadly passed recently. The hip-hop community and beyond has drastically felt the loss of two loved artist.
One user tweeted, "this was the best night for the fandom we all came together and were freaking out over kid cudi and tame like we were there and the twins were so happy seeing their favs and us being happy for them, this is an unforgettable night for all of us"
The transparent party song, Pursuit of Happiness, is still one of Cudi's most notable tunes due to its introspective nature. In the song, Cudi discussing chasing happiness with temporary substances but never finding a permanent fix. Many have reveled at the honesty that the Cleveland rapper bares, including comedian, Pete Davidson who has thanked Cudi for saving his life.
"He saved my life. I would have killed myself if I didn't have Kid Cudi." Said Pete during an interview with iHeart Radio's The Breakfast Club.
"I've been in and out of things like that, and I think that's why a lot of kids my age can relate to Cudi and people love him so much," Davidson continue. "He's a very emotional dude and he saves all of us. That's very real and honest and it's comforting to know that your hero goes through the same stuff you do."
Like many artist, for years, Cudi would hide his pain within his art. In 2016, however he opened up and admitted to the world that he battled with depression and suicidal thoughts then checked into a rehab facility for help.
"I am not at peace," he penned in the open letter. "I haven't been since you've known me. If I didn't come here, I would've done something to myself. I simply am a damaged human swimming in a pool of emotions every day of my life. There's a raging violent storm inside of my heart at all times. Idk what peace feels like. Idk how to relax. My anxiety and depression have ruled my life for as long as I can remember and I never leave the house because of it. I can't make new friends because of it. I don't trust anyone because of it and I'm tired of being held back in my life. I deserve to have peace."
Cudi's transparency has helped many listeners, fans, and peers to understand that it is okay to seek help. During an interview on Jada Pinkett's Red Table Talk series, Cudi said that his troubles were just that - his own.
"I was really good at keeping my troubles hidden... even from my friends," Cudi said "I really was good with that. And it's scary because you hear people say, 'I had no clue.' I really went out of my way to keep what I was going through hidden because I was ashamed."

Hi, my name is Jay Underwood and I am the pastor/teacher here at First Baptist Church in Weaverville, CA. Let me take this opportunity to tell you briefly a little bit about myself. My story as a youngster is like many whereas I grew up going to church and heavily involved in youth activities but never had that saving relationship with Jesus Christ. It wasn't until around 1995 that I truly was saved while attending Calvary Bible Church in Burbank, CA. It was the first time I really understood my sin nature – that I was a sinner whose consequence would be eternal hell were it not for the saving grace of Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. Praise God that he saved both me and my wife, Julie, at the same time.
My career, until about 2006, was that of an actor in movies and television.
From childhood on, it was all I ever remember wanting to do and God had blessed me with enough work throughout the years to be able to make my living doing it. In my mind, I was living out my dream and yet there were also many low periods throughout and I would often find myself getting discouraged and wondering if a career in the entertainment industry was really what life was all about. Then of course I got saved and everything started to change.
As my Christian faith grew, I saw how this started affecting my career. I had waning interest in so many of the parts and projects I was being asked to audition for. It seemed there wasn't much out there by way of movies or TV shows that would bring glory to God (1 Cor. 10:31) and so I found myself wondering if it wasn't maybe time to get out of the entertainment industry altogether. That turned out to be the truth of the situation but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think God would redirect my heart and steps to guide me into full-time Christian ministry.
Once I knew in 2003 that God was indeed calling me into this extraordinary vocation, I also realized my need for more knowledge. I wanted to learn the Bible and everything I could to prepare me for ministry. To this end, God opened up the doors for me to attend the Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, CA. The seminary shares the campus with Grace Community Church where John MacArthur has pastored for the last 30 plus years. MacArthur also serves as the seminary's president. The Master's Seminary gave me exactly the kind of Bible training I needed to be able to accurately handle the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15) and to shepherd the flock of God (1 Pet. 5:2).
As for my own ministry experience, prior to seminary I had sung in the church choir for a few years at Calvary Bible and then transitioned into teaching in the children's ministry. During seminary, I became the Jr. High pastor, which did much for my continuing ministry education. I found I had a heart not only for the youth that I had been involved with but also for preaching and teaching the Bible as well as shepherding God's people, whether they be youth or adults.
How did I end up going from Burbank to Weaverville, you ask? Well, as I was winding down my last semester of seminary in the spring of 2007, I applied, interviewed for and was called by the church body for the pastor position of the First Baptist Church here in Weaverville. So I finished school, graduated in May 07, and relocated my wife and three children from 'beautiful downtown Burbank' to the spectacular Trinity Alps and have been loving every minute of it.
My desire as pastor/teacher here at FBCW is to preach the word (2 Tim. 4:2) and shepherd God's people so that they will know that it's the gospel that saves (Rom. 1:16; 1 Cor. 15:3-4), that they would grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 3:18)," that they may be found "complete in Christ (Col. 1:28)," and that their desire would be to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you…(Matt. 28:19-20)." Yes, the challenges of ministry are many, but the eternal joys are incomparable! Glory be to God!

Vail Daily column: When a juvenile is tried as an adult
If Austin Sigg is convicted in the death of Jessica Ridgeway, one thing is for certain; he will not be put to death.
How can I be so certain? After all, the death penalty is available in Colorado, Sigg is accused of the young Westminster girl's kidnapping, murder, and brutal mutilation, and reports are that he confessed. He is accused, too, of attempted kidnapping and murder in a second case and law enforcement would like to speak with him about the failed abductions of at least two other children.
"Good lawyering?" you might ask.
No. The answer is more straightforward; Austin Reed Sigg will not be 18 until January of next year and, because of his age, he cannot – and will not – suffer the death penalty.
At almost-but-not-quite-18, in the eyes of the law – if not those of the devil – Sigg is a mere child. A cold-blooded, murderous one perhaps, but a child nonetheless. The law is clear on this; until one reaches the what sometimes seems the arbitrary age of 18, one is not yet an adult and neither enjoys adult privileges nor may suffer adult consequences. This a matter of long and largely uncontested Western tradition.
The law is often constituted of bright lines: You stole or you did not, your BAC was over or else under 0.80 when you drove, you're guilty or you're not. Age 18 is like that. On the one side, you are a poor deluded waif. On the other, for the same offense, you pay a different piper. Agree or not, that's simply how it is.
And yet …
The law provides that – at least in some circumstances – a child may be tried as an adult. At precisely what age, and for precisely what offense differs from one state to the next.
In Colorado, in determining whether to try a juvenile as an adult, several factors are considered, including: The juvenile's age, the type of offense, and the extent of the juvenile's past history of delinquency. As each of these factors increases, so too does the chance that the juvenile will be tried as an adult. Under Colorado law, the absolute youngest age at which a child may be tried as an adult is 12.
The district attorney for the jurisdiction in which the child is to be charged may either "remove" the case from juvenile to district court or may "direct file" in the district court. Different criteria must be met for direct filing depending on the child's age.
In the case of Sigg, who is older than 16, in order to "direct" file, the D.A. must advance that the accused is alleged to have: Committed a Class 1 or Class 2 felony (felonies of the most serious sort); committed a crime of violence; committed a felony offense involving a weapon and threaten deadly force; committed vehicular homicide, vehicular assault or felonious arson; committed a Class 3 felony or a sexual assault and, within the previous two years, was adjudicated a delinquent for an act constituting a felony; or committed a delinquent act which constitutes a felony and has been determined to be a habitual juvenile offender.
Juveniles over the age of 16 who have been charged by direct file and convicted may be sentenced as adults.
So what about Sigg? He is over 16, appears to satisfy the criteria necessary for direct filing, and District Attorney Scott Storey has made clear his intention is to try Sigg as an adult. If Sigg is tired and convicted why may he not be put to death?
The answer is found in the 2005 United States Supreme Court case of Roper v. Simmons where the justices determined that the death penalty may not be imposed against a juvenile even in the case of aggravated murder.
Citing the 8th and 14th Amendments (respectively, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment and the right to due process of the law), the court banned the execution of those under the age of 18.
Writing for the majority, Justice Kennedy stated: "When a juvenile offender commits a heinous crime, the state can exact forfeiture of some of the most basic liberties, but the state cannot extinguish his life and his potential to attain a mature understanding of his own humanity."
With one stroke, the death penalty was off the table, even for the most depraved crimes. There has since been a further move by the court to deny life sentences without the possibility of parole to underage offenders. In 2010, in the companion cases of Miller v. Alabama and Jackson v. Hobbs, the court ruled that juveniles found guilty of crimes other than homicide could not be sentenced to life without parole and mulled over whether life without parole could ever be imposed upon one under the age of 18.
Despite what demons may be lurking within the soul of Austin Sigg, he (and they) will not be exterminated by the state. Of that, you may be certain. And if modern trends prevail, he may one day, even if convicted, have at least the chance of being out on our streets again.
