One disadvantage might be to further discourage people to give up more lucrative careers to serve their country. There will be more politicians who start out as research assistants, spend a few years as spin doctors, before standing for election. By that time, any understanding of the outside world or genuine convictions has been submerged beneath a professionalized avoidance of issues, and an urge to destroy their opponents.
It would do no harm to require publication of all declared tax returns of politicians and senior civil servants.
This is already the case in Sweden - shouldn't we do everything possible to eliminate corruption?
Agreed, this isn't as critical as economic policy, tax structure, education, health or public infrastructure.
But - for all these areas - we need enough surveillance over our government representatives so we can keep their actions broadly in line interests of the electorate.
This is going to be a distraction. If Labour had any balls, they'd refuse and point out that as long as individuals paid their taxes and that interests were declared that was all that matters. Instead the pathetic Milliband has said they will publish only after the cabinet has done so. If they really believed in this nonsense they would (at least) publish beforehand.
This will end up being another distracting media circus, and will be so every year when statements are published. In addition, it will add to the pressure that will deter good people becoming politicians.
This adds to the narrative that the politicians are all crooks that we cannot trust. It is a shame.

As an Air Force prisoner of war in the rat infested "Hanoi Hilton" in North Vietnam, the Rev. Robert Certain recalls Ash Wednesday 1973. The prayers that day would be answered and he would be free by Easter.
"As a chore, they would bring in a load of coal dust in a bin, and we POWs had to add water to it, form it into briquettes or coal balls about the size of a grapefruit, and they would set them out to dry to use for the kitchen stoves to cook," said Certain, former assistant rector and later interim rector of St. Barnabas on the Desert Episcopal Church in Paradise Valley.
"We used that coal for our ashes on Ash Wednesday," he said.
An Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, in the hands of a fellow prisoner, provided the Scripture that Certain used in leading the Lenten rite.
The war in Iraq conjures memories for the veteran Episcopal priest and retired Air Force chaplain. Near the end of his second tour of duty in Vietnam, just before Christmas 1972, his B-52 Stratofortress was shot down during a bombing mission.
The navigator-bombardier, then a second lieutenant, parachuted and was quickly captured. The signing of the Paris Peace Accords in early 1973, however, led to Certain's freedom after nearly 3 1 /2 months in the so-called "Heartbreak Hotel" and freedom for the other POWs in the other filthy, primitive Vietnamese prison compounds.
Certain, who has been nominated as a candidate for Episcopal Bishop of Arizona to succeed the Rt. Rev. Robert Shahan upon his retirement next year, has served as the rector of St. Margaret's Episcopal Church in Palm Desert, Calif., since Easter 1998. After 30 years in the Air Force, Certain, 55, retired as a colonel in 1999. His final appointment was senior reserve chaplain at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Certain tells his story in a newly published book, "Unchained Eagle: From Prisoner of War to Prisoner of Christ."
It's a frank and personal book that explores Certain's faith journey, including challenges trying to balance family, far-flung military chaplaincy demands and parish ministry. He chronicles his POW experiences, Episcopalian and Air Force politics and decades of posttraumatic stress disorder from Vietnam that triggered depression, alcoholism and emotional outbursts with colleagues.
Certain has served as rector or assistant rector in six parishes since his ordination in 1976.
Born in Georgia and raised in the United Methodist Church, Certain felt a call to ministry as a teen and had that goal in his scopes during his early years in the Air Force and while a POW.
After Certain's capture, he endured threats and grueling interrogation by the North Vietnamese. He would soon be taken to a Hanoi hotel where his captors, with propaganda in mind, let international photographers take his picture. At the same time, Certain had many questions fired at him.
"I had no intention of compromising my integrity and sense of duty by speaking to these people," Certain wrote. "More threats would mean nothing because the North Vietnamese would never allow an identified POW to be killed or lost."
His photo would appear in an article in The Washington Post titled "Flier Captured on Eve of Visit Home."
"I looked awful in the photo," he recalled. "After all, I had been up for about 30 hours and had been traumatized and interrogated for about 18 hours and had stuffed every emotion I felt as far down into the recesses of my being."
For years, Certain would feel guilty that three from his flight crew died, while two others survived.
"The sense of survival guilt is part of the equation of having been in combat," he said in an interview during a recent visit to Scottsdale. "Why does your buddy die and you live — especially if the buddy had more reason to live and had more investment in life?"
Certain was a newlywed without children, while the pilot had five children, the co-pilot had two youngsters and the gunner was just 15 days from retirement.
Certain would serve on national panels to help determine policy regarding government payment for Agent Orange injuries to servicemen. He coordinated training of Air Force Reserve chaplains and attended the Air War College in Alabama, where he wrote a critique of reserve chaplain employment during Desert Shield/Desert Storm for the Air Force chief of staff.
In his book, he noted, "In the academic setting of the War College, I was finally able to reflect upon some of my own post-war emotions and upon some of the dysfunctional behaviors that formed the cultural caricature of the Vietnam veteran. Was there a spiritual problem that manifested itself in nightmares, domestic violence, withdrawal from society, ritualistic behaviors and even murder and suicide?
"War by its very nature is uncivilized and lies in the gray boundary at the edge of the western ethical conscience," he wrote. "Theologians and philosophers remind us of the evil we engage in war and have given us the intellectual tools to plan our methods of making war so that we do not venture too far into the evil. Governments have articulated the purposes of war and set the rules of engagement, usually in conformity with just war theory."
Certain said that governments then train soldiers in "acceptable war practice and send them out to destroy the evil threat using admittedly, though restrained, evil force."
Chaplains' role in that is to help keep "combat more humane, soldiers more human and peace more redemptive."
The Iraqi execution of American POWs has been painful to follow, Certain said.
"To see them apparently executed by the enemy after they have been captured alive is totally against international law and the treatment of captives."
While the current presiding bishop of the national body of Episcopal Church has been outspoken against the war in Iraq, it's not a position uniformly embraced by clergy, including Certain, and larger portions of the denomination.
Certain writes extensively of his 2 1 /2 years at the 3,000-member St. Barnabas parish in Paradise Valley, where he was able to focus on pastoral care of members, followed by serving as interim rector for seven months.
St. Barnabas member Roland Petak is a strong advocate for Certain to become the next bishop for Arizona.
"He has the full life experience," said Petak, praising Certain's "total honesty" in his book, his skills at preaching and his devotion to Episcopal orthodoxy.
"He really believes in the canons and articles that exist in our Prayer Book," Petak said. "I think a lot of our Episcopalians sorely ignore them."

Medicaid Program Integrity:
Increased Oversight Needed to Ensure Integrity of Growing Managed Care Expenditures
GAO-14-341: Published: May 19, 2014. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO identified a gap in state and federal efforts to ensure Medicaid managed care program integrity. Federal laws require the states and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to ensure the integrity of the Medicaid program, including payments under Medicaid managed care, which are growing at a faster rate than payments under fee-for-service (FFS). However, five state program integrity (PI) units and four Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU) from the seven states included in GAO's review said they primarily focus their efforts on Medicaid FFS claims and have not begun to closely examine program integrity in Medicaid managed care. In addition, federal entities have taken few steps to address Medicaid managed care program integrity.
CMS, the federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that oversees Medicaid has largely delegated managed care program integrity oversight activities to the states, but has not updated its program integrity guidance since 2000.
Additionally, CMS does not require states to audit managed care payments, and state officials GAO interviewed said they require additional CMS support, such as additional guidance and the option to obtain audit assistance from existing Medicaid integrity contractors in overseeing Medicaid managed care program integrity.
The involvement of multiple entities in conducting post-payment reviews, audits, and investigations has resulted in fragmented program integrity efforts; yet the effects of fragmentation are unclear. As GAO has found in past work, coordinating activities can alleviate many problems created by fragmentation, thus allowing entities to avoid unnecessary duplication and overlap. Most of the program integrity officials from the seven states GAO included in this review said that coordination efforts helped them manage overlap and avoid unnecessary duplication; however some officials said that coordination presented additional challenges for time and staff resources. Given that combined federal and state efforts have recovered only a small portion of the estimated improper payments, continued monitoring of federal and state program integrity efforts in Medicaid will be an important means of assessing whether the current structure is effective.
Because of the gap GAO identified between state and federal program integrity efforts in managed care, neither state nor federal entities are well positioned to identify improper payments made to managed care organizations (MCOs), nor are they able to ensure that MCOs are taking appropriate actions to identify, prevent, or discourage improper payments. Improving federal and state efforts to strengthen Medicaid managed care program integrity takes on greater urgency as states that choose to expand their Medicaid programs under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are likely to do so with managed care arrangements, and will receive a 100 percent federal match for newly eligible individuals from 2014 through 2016. Unless CMS takes a larger role in holding states accountable, and provides guidance and support to states to ensure adequate program integrity efforts in Medicaid managed care, the gap between state and federal efforts to monitor managed care program integrity will leave a growing portion of federal Medicaid dollars vulnerable to improper payments.
Why GAO Did This Study
In fiscal year 2013, the Medicaid program covered about 71.7 million individuals at a cost of $431.1 billion, of which CMS estimated that $14.4 billion (5.8 percent) were improper payments. Multiple state and federal entities are involved in program integrity efforts, such as payment review, auditing, and investigating fraud. GAO was asked to examine how these entities ensure comprehensive Medicaid program integrity. This report examines state and federal roles and responsibilities to identify potential (1) gaps in efforts to ensure Medicaid program integrity coverage; and (2) fragmentation, overlap, or duplication of program integrity efforts, and efforts to coordinate activities. GAO examined relevant federal laws and regulations, CMS guidance, and state program integrity reviews. GAO also interviewed officials from CMS and HHS's Office of Inspector General, as well as PI unit and MFCU officials from seven states.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that CMS increase its oversight of program integrity efforts by requiring states to audit payments to and by MCOs; updating its guidance on Medicaid managed care program integrity; and providing states additional support for managed care oversight, such as audit assistance from existing contractors. In its comments, HHS asked for clarification on the first recommendation and concurred with the other two. In response, GAO clarified its first recommendation—that CMS take the added step of requiring states to audit the appropriateness of payments to and by MCOs to better ensure Medicaid program integrity.

Baseball team travels to Akron after home-opening sweep of Kent State
After sweeping conference rival Kent State last weekend and claiming sole possession of first place, the Bulls are headed to Akron to take on the Zips. Joe Malak, The Spectrum
A little more than halfway through its conference schedule, the baseball team has already matched the school record for conference wins.
The Bulls (21-17, 11-4 Mid-American Conference) have catapulted into first place in the MAC East division after a sweep of defending MAC champion Kent State (20-20, 9-6 MAC) last weekend.
This season has been full of firsts for head coach Ron Torgalski's squad. The Bulls have already won more games than they did last season and are just two wins away from the school record. But the season has included disappointments, too.
Buffalo is 1-6 in games played during the week - something Torgalski acknowledged has been an issue over the past few seasons. While everyone has been focused for conference games this season, every player isn't mentally there for the midweek games, according to Torgalski.
"For us to be a good team, our approach has to be the same every time we step out on the field," Torgalski said.
Poor midweek play has been one of the only negatives for the Bulls since they started conference play. Despite playing four of five series away from Buffalo, the Bulls have won every weekend series and, after last weekend's sweep, hold a perfect 3-0 home record against conference opponents.
The Bulls' four series wins to open the conference season were particularly important, according to Torgalski. Those games were pivotal to dictating the Bulls' success this season because they came before they played a single home game.
Torgalski believes the Bulls proved a lot in those series, and the confidence has carried through to this point in the season.
"We grind it out and we come to play, and they showed it again this weekend, grinding out three one-run games against what is supposedly the best team in the conference," Torgalski said.
Because poor weather forced Buffalo to play two of its four conference home series out of town, the squad has only one conference home series remaining. This weekend, the Bulls will travel to Akron (9-29, 6-9 MAC) to take on the Zips in another MAC East showdown.
Torgalski has made sure his team understands just how close the MAC is at this point in the season. There are three teams behind the Bulls with eight or more wins, which means one bad weekend could drop the Bulls from their place atop the standings to third or fourth.
The Bulls can't look past Akron, either. Despite the Zips holding the worst overall record in the conference and winning just six conference games, they have beaten every conference foe they have taken on at least once.
"There is still a long way to go and we haven't accomplished anything yet," Torgalski said. "They know that; we know that we have to keep taking care of business and try to make it a special season."
The Bulls seem to be building on their momentum as they extend their series-winning streak deeper into the season. If they continue winning, it won't be long until they clinch their second-straight MAC Tournament berth.
"Every time we step on a field, our goal is to win a game and I think they're starting to believe it more and more," Torgalski said.
First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Canal Park.

LVMH'S SANDY RELIEF: LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton's contributions to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts are twofold — touching both those employees within its brand portfolio impacted by Sandy and facing hardships as a result, as well as the region's greater efforts.
Shortly after the storm, LVMH started working closely with each of its brands to identify staff members in need of help, and it has been providing support through the brands, as well as additional funding from LVMH Group where necessary.
The various brands have also individually made direct contributions to relief efforts, and, now, LVMH Group pledged to add to these funds to bring the total contribution by the brands and LVMH Group to $1 million. LVMH Group's specific funds will be distributed to the American Red Cross and the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City.

Fairfax County police say they have arrested a door-to-door salesman from North Carolina after he allegedly sexually assaulted a teenage girl.
Police say 26-year-old Tommy Lee Harmon of Greensboro, North Carolina was selling carpet cleaning products Monday, when he knocked on the door of a home and met a 14-year-old girl, who was home alone. They say Harmon went inside and asked to use the bathroom.
After he left the bathroom, officials say he sexually assaulted the girl.
Police say neighbors told them about a group that had been selling items in the area. They later spotted a car matching residents' description and found Harmon, who is charged with taking indecent liberties with a minor.
Police say Harmon was with Pumppers Trust-Mrs. Clean Pump-it-Off Company, based in South Carolina.

Exploring Baltimore's neighborhoods: Greektown
At its peak, Greektown was home to about 1,000 families. Now it's around 600. People come and people go, mostly to the county. But the pull of this Southeast Baltimore neighborhood – particularly for Greek-Americans – remains strong.
"They come down to the restaurants, they come down to the little shops," said Theo Harris, a Greektown resident and prominent local realtor. "Their weddings, their funerals, their baptisms, it's all happening in the community. That's really the bond."

Urban Memory
History and Amnesia in the Modern City
Nine previously unpublished essays form an interdisciplinary assessment of urban memory in the modern city, analysing this burgeoning area of interest from the perspectives of sociology, architectural and art history, psychoanalysis, culture and critical theory. Featuring a wealth of illustrations, images, maps and specially commissioned artwork, this work applies a critical and creative approach to existing theories of urban memory, and examines how these ideas are actualised in the forms of the built environment in the modernist and post-industrial city.
A particular area of focus is post-industrial Manchester, but the book also includes studies of current-day Singapore, New York after 9/11, modern museums in industrial gallery spaces, the writings of Paul Auster and W.G. Sebald, memorials built in concrete, and contemporary art.less

I've read through stack overflow threads multiple times in the past, and they're often quite helpful. However, I've run into a problem that simply doesn't make sense to me, and I'm trying to figure out what I missed. Here's the sections of the code that I'm having trouble with:
class BigInts
static const std::size_t MAXLEN = 100;
BigInts(signed int i); //constructor
BigInts(std::string &); //other constructor
std::size_t size() const;
digit_type operator[](std::size_t ) const;
digit_type _data[MAXLEN];
bool _negative;
int _significant;
//nonmember functions
std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream &, const BigInts &);
BigInts::BigInts(signed int i)
_negative = (i < 0);
if (i < 0)
i = -1*i;
std::fill(_data, _data+MAXLEN, 0);
if (i != 0)
int d(0);
int c(0);
_data[d++] = ( i % 10);
i = i / 10;
c++; //digit counter
}while(i > 0);
//_significant = c; //The problem line
assert(c <= MAXLEN); //checks if int got too big
std::size_t BigInts::size() const
std::size_t pos(MAXLEN-1);
while (pos > 0 && _data[pos] == 0)
return pos+1;
std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream & os, const BigInts & b)
for (int i = (b.size() - 1); i >= 0; --i)
os << b[i];
return os;
int main()
signed int a, b;
std::cout << "enter first number" << std::endl;
std::cin >> a;
std::cout << "enter second number" << std::endl;
std::cin >> b;
BigInts d(a), e(b), f(b);
std::cout << d << " " << e << " " << f;
Major edit, switched from an attempted dummy version of the code to the actual code I'm using, complete with the original variable names. I tried to remove anything that isn't relevant to the code I'm currently working with, but if you see a strange name or call in there, let me know and I can post the associated portion.
The code had been working fine prior to the introduction of _significant, which is a variable I had added to add some more functionality to the class as a whole. However, when I attempted to drive the basic parts of it using the main function you see displayed, it encountered large errors. For example, I inputted 200 and 100 for a and b respectively, it outputted 201, 1, and 3 for d, e, and f. As it currently stands, the ONLY place _significant appears is when I'm attempting to assign the value of c to it.

Strong 2013 auto sales predictedThe Associated Press | January 03,2013DETROIT A healthier economy and more model introductions should push U.S. auto sales above the 15 million mark this year, predicts an auto industry research firm.
The Polk research firm says auto sales should continue to lead the countrys economic recovery, rising nearly 7 percent over 2012 to 15.3 million new vehicle registrations.
Automakers release December and full-year sales for 2012 on Thursday. Analysts think sales reached 14.5 million last year, the strongest performance since 2007 just before Americans felt the impact of the recession.
Sales of more than 15 million are considered a sign of health for the auto industry and the economy, many analysts say.
Polk does not expect pre-recession sales levels of 17 million for several more years, Anthony Pratt, Polks forecasting director for the Americas, said Wednesday.
Polk expects 43 new models to be introduced this year, up 50 percent from last year. New models usually boost sales. The company also predicts a rebound in sales of large pickups and midsize cars.
But Polks optimistic forecast firm hinges on Washington reaching an agreement on spending cuts, which could happen later in the year. On New Years Day, congress approved a compromise to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff. The deal raises taxes for incomes exceeding $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. But it delayed action on dramatic federal spending cuts and debt, setting up another showdown in a divided congress.
Those first showdowns will come over the next three months, when the governments legal ability to borrow money will expire and temporary financing for federal agency budgets will expire.
Polk predicted a handful of other trends for 2013. Sales will grow for big pickup trucks, which are very profitable for automakers. Demand has been depressed for five years due to the weak economy, but should get a lift in 2013 thanks to redesigned trucks from GM, Toyota and Ford.
Polk also said the midsize sedan segment will continue to lead the industry. Its now at 18.5 percent of the market, 2 percentage points larger than any other type of segment.
Recent redesigns of nearly every vehicle in the midsize segment are forcing more competition and continued growth, said Tom Libby, Polks lead North American analysts.
Polk joins many other analysts in predicting 2013 sales at or above 15 million. The consulting firm LMC Automotive, for instance, expects 2013 sales of around 15 million, up from 14.5 million in 2012.
Auto sales peaked at about 17 million in 2005, but dropped to 10.4 million in 2009, the lowest level in more than three decades.MORE IN National / World BusinessLOS ANGELES Its back, and its back on a scale that is well matched to this car-centric city.
