General Off-Topic Board / Question for those who live in a city...« on: October 29, 2004, 10:15:32 PM »
Do you all have a car? My husband and I are trying to decide whether we should keep my car when we move or sell it. I am all about selling it and relying on public transportation for many reasons- most of which is financial. But, we have one big concern- how do you all carry your groceries home?!? I know, this sounds trivial, but I know that we go about everyother week and have too many bags to carry on public transportation. Any creative ideas??
Also, what are your general thoughts on this subject?
Law School Applications / Northwestern Vent« on: October 28, 2004, 02:52:31 PM »
Okay, after a month of hearing nothing, I called... I asked about my off-campus interview and when I would receive the names. She said I should have already heard something and that she would be sure someone emailed me. Then I asked about my report request... this is where it gets frustrating. She said they don't request the report until they receive the hard copy. BUT, they have opted not to have the paper copy sent until the report is requested (according to LSACD). I told her this and she said something like, well we'll make sure it's requested.... how many people are in the same shoes as me?!? Did anyone else transmit online and have their report requested yet?

Law School Applications / GWU and GULC visits« on: October 14, 2004, 09:17:45 AM »
I visited both GWU and GULC the first part of this week. Just wanted to report in and let you all know what I think!
Did a self-guided tour. The campus is in a fairly neat part of town and the law school is on GWU's campus. My husband is applying to a legislative affairs program and their building (which is where crossfire is filmed), is right across the street. The buildings were all very nice, they all seemed to be fairly new or at least renovated! The students were slightly younger than I expected, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I met with an admissions counselor and there really wasn't anything pressing I needed to hear, but he did give me some info. For example, we talked about expected apps and he didn't really indicate that he thought they would go up, etc. He did say that they don't look at apps until Dec. 1, regardless when it was completed.
I sat in on a class (criminal law) and LOVED it! I was very impressed by the quality of the teaching. I had actually met a girl a couple days earlier who is a 1L there and she said that was what sold her on the school, was the teachers.
GULC- I had a meeting with a professor who heads up the domestic violence clinic (something I am interested in doing). I didn't get to sit in on a class, though I wish I had set that up. However, I loved the professor. She was so helpful and we just seemed to click on so many issues. If the other professors are like her, then it would be a great place. The building I saw was nice- it is separate from Gtown's campus, kinda out of the way. But, it is near the capitol.
That's about all I can think of now... let me know if you have any questions.

Cleanup Status
- Corrective Action Status:
Complete with Controls
- Human Exposure Controlled: YES
- Ground Water Controlled:
- The final remedy for the facility is complete and consists of an institutional control to prohibit residential use of the property. This institutional control is codified in an environmental covenant, which can be accessed below. The Final Decision for the facility was issued by EPA on July 12, 2011.
- Several environmental investigations occurred at the facility in the 1980s, among which were a preliminary assessment and a site investigation that characterized soil, sediment, surface water, and groundwater. Further investigations in the 1990s focused on low-level radioactive slag that was characterized and deemed safe for unrestricted use in 2001 (this material was subsequently removed from the facility in 2006). Site decommissioning activities, buried drum and underground storage tank removals, and fire pond characterization activities occurred in the 2000s. More information on the investigation and remediation of the facility can be found in the Statement of Basis, below.
- The former Cabot Supermetals facility is approximately 102 acres in size and is bordered by Rapp Creek to the north, wooded areas to the east and west, and farmland and private residences to the northwest and south. The property is currently owned by the Cabot Corporation
- The facility began operations in 1959 as Penn Rare Metals. Penn Rare Metals primarily extracted beryllium from beryl ore. The Kawecki Division of Cabot Corporation began purchasing interests in Penn Rare Metals in 1960, and by 1963 obtained full ownership. Cabot Corporation continued to operate the facility for the production of cesium, rubidium, and niobium alloys and high-purity germanium and tellurium until 2002, when all operations ceased. All but two buildings (an office building and a warehouse/garage) have been demolished, and the facility is currently vacant.
Contaminants and Risks
- Primary contaminants at the facility included heavy metals and low-level radioactive slag material that was determined not to be of concern to human health or the environment (the slag was nevertheless removed from the facility in 2006). The 2004 Summary Environmental Report included a risk assessment that determined that the levels of heavy metals (primarily arsenic and vanadium) remaining in facility soils fall within acceptable risk levels protective of human health and the environment. However, since the concentrations of these heavy metals exceed Residential Soil Risk-Based Concentrations, an institutional control preventing residential use of the facility property is required.
Institutional Controls
- An environmental covenant between EPA and the facility was recorded in 2011 and includes an institutional control restricting land use of the property to non-residential purposes.

Iran: The nuclear distraction
We must not cast a blind eye on Iran's violations of fundamental rights…
Western preoccupation with Iran's uranium enrichment programme has distracted the international focus away from the other key issue: the government's human rights violations. International groups have called for a UN led effort to hold Iran to account for its violation of international treaty obligations and for the contempt it shows for both the international community and its own citizens. If the UN is to be effective, the international community must apply more consistent pressure.
Voluntary human rights obligations
Iran has ratified numerous international human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and conventions on issues such as racial discrimination and children's rights. Such obligations have been frequently violated. Thus UN reports highlight government persecution of minority groups, imprisonment of political activists, torture and executions of its most ardent opponents.
Iran's response to criticism over its human rights record, that foreign governments shouldn't interfere in its internal political matters, is difficult to justify. Voluntarily undertaken human rights obligations are not internal political matters but legal norms defined and substantiated by international law.
UN inefficacy
Maziar Bahari, an Iranian journalist imprisoned in Iran for 119 days, has argued that the UN must lead the effort to hold Iran to account. He argues that the UN is one of the few international institutions recognised by Iran as legitimate and so has urged the UN to mandate an official investigator in Iran.
But the UN is not the solution. Propositions involving the UN both overestimate the persuasive force of UN demands and fail to recognise the contempt Iran has shown to this institution. The Universal Period Review carried out in February by the UN Office of Human Rights is an example of both the impotence of UN efforts and the lip service paid to this organization by Iran.
The UPR has made recommendations to improve human rights protection in line with Iran's treaty obligations. Iran claims to be willing to cooperate with the UNHRC but its response to the recommendations has been 'cynical', as described by Human Rights Watch. Amnesty International has led the criticism of the inconsistency with which Iran's government responded, condemning in particular Iran's acceptance of the recommendation to respect religious freedom but rejection of the request to end discrimination of Baha'is, a religious minority. The government further rejected recommendations to end juvenile executions, rejected guarantees to uphold fair trials, refused to investigate torture and rape allegations and refused to release people detained for peacefully exercising their human rights. Hassiba Sahraoui, the Middle East Deputy Director at Amnesty International, has argued that the rejection of certain recommendations and acceptance of others similar, casts doubt on the prospect of proper implementation.
Other UN attempts to address the rights' abuses have been restrained and UN General Assembly Resolution 64/176 is timid. In it the General Assembly express their 'deep concern' at extra-judicial executions, floggings and amputations as punishments and of the persistent failure to provide due process of law rights. They also express their 'concern' over the worsening of human rights violations after the 2009 Presidential election. And yet the resolution ends by a mere 'call' for cooperation, a 'request' for the Secretary General to submit another report and commits the UN to continue examining human rights in Iran. A General Assembly resolution is a demand without a sanction.
Missed opportunities
The disputed 2009 elections are emblematic of the gross human rights violations in Iran. Critics of the government were arbitrarily arrested, harassed, detained, imprisoned and tortured. The government claimed to be carrying out investigations into the torture and killings but no one appears to have been brought to justice. Iran continues to mislead the Human Rights Council by making claims that it will implement recommendations made by Governments to conduct transparent and independent investigations. But according to Amnesty International, Iranian security forces continue to arrest, detain or convict those alleged to be involved in the post-election unrest. Political and civil society activists remain in prison and, according to the Iranian judiciary, 250 people have been prosecuted in relation to the post-election unrest and at least six of those accused of taking part are at risk of execution after their death sentences were confirmed by appellate courts.
The flagrant human rights abuses committed during the 2009 election were an opportunity for the international community to unite behind the UN and demand reform. The reluctance of the international community to mount an effective challenge at the time has cost the complete loss of political momentum. With the dust having settled on the election, the international community remains once again singularly focussed on the nuclear threat.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech at the UN Summit last year represented another opportunity lost by the international community to engage directly with Iran over its human rights record. When Obama condemned Mr Ahmadinejad's 'hateful' speech, he was predictably light handed on the issue of human rights. The White House transcript of an interview with Obama after the Summit is embarrassing evidence of just how little political space and time was dedicated to the issue of Iran's human rights abuses. Obama claimed to 'stand by' the Iranian people but not once called on Iran to reform and Obama was quick to say he had 'no interest' in 'meddling' with the rights of people to choose their own government. But what is needed is not a claim to stand by the Iranian people but an effort to speak for the Iranian political and civil activists silenced by imprisonment and torture.
The case for political pressure
Political pressure mounted by the international community is necessary for two reasons. Firstly, the UN is the only international institution that is legally empowered and therefore justified in holding Iran to account. Any action taken by the international community that would circumvent UN machinery would be illegitimate. Instead, UN member states must support this body because is it clear that Iran has no intention of taking the Human Rights Council and, by extension, the UN, seriously.
Secondly, political pressure is necessary because the international community is obliged to speak on behalf of silenced Iranian activists. For Shirin Ebadi, the Nobel Peace Prize Winning Iranian human rights activist, of paramount importance is the release of civil and political detainees in Iran. Like so many others working to restore human rights in Iran, Mrs Ebadi recognises that the Iranian people must be allowed the opportunity to hold their own government to account. So long as civil and political activists are suppressed, the Iranian people are denied the ability to demand their human rights for themselves. The lack of a political voice of the Iranian people is why the international community must speak on their behalf. The international community must not 'meddle' with their rights, must not impose its own understanding of human rights, but simply need do as Obama claims, and stand by the Iranian people by voicing their complaints.
The question that will be asked is whether political pressure will be effective when legal measures have proved futile. But the question should not be one of efficacy but one of necessity. The international community must transform their silent signatures on UN Resolutions into insistent political criticism because the Iranian people, for fear of intimidation, imprisonment and torture, are unable to criticise the government for themselves. The international community must condemn Iran's human rights violations in the same way it has condemned Iran's uranium enrichment. The Iranian government may be blind to the human rights abuses it perpetrates but it cannot be deaf to international political condemnation.
A parliamentary report published in 2009 described the human rights abuses in Iran as systematic, yet little parliamentary time has been spent discussing the government response to these abuses. Occasional political statements and a few early day Parliamentary motions do not amount to political pressure. The British government need to do more and should lead the international community in holding Mr Ahmadinejad's administration to account.
It is widely felt that 'the West' is hesitant to complicate the dialogue with Iran over the nuclear programme by discussing human rights or regional peace. Mrs Ebadi argues that non-democratic, non-liberal states like Iran pose a greater threat to peace in the Middle East than nuclear weapons. She goes further to accuse Western governments of forgetting about the subrogation of human rights in Iran since the beginning of Iran's nuclear programme.
The nuclear programme has ensured that Iran remains central to western foreign policy concerns. The argument made is one of political reemphasis, not of political refocus: concern about the nuclear threat is self-evidently important, but the threatened nuclear capability should not dominate political discussion to the exclusion of gross human rights violations. As a signatory to human rights treaties, Iran is in violation of international law as a result of its abuses of fundamental rights and governments must hold Iran to account for this. The West is obliged to give the issue of rights violations the space it deserves in political discourse because we have a legal and moral duty to hold the Iranian government to account for the violations of voluntarily undertaken human rights obligations.

I'm using Ultimate but it's on Windows 7 so I don't think Blend was part of the install with it being only for Windows 8. Am I missunderstanding, is this the Blend for VS2012 that can be used for silverlight and wpf? I've been using the Preview for a few of months and thought that was what was added today. As you can see I'm utterly confused:-)
Doh! Just had a look on the disk and it's there. Run the installer again to modify the installation and Blend is offered:-) What a fool:-). Thanks for the hint

Tens of thousands march in Paris on January 13 to denounce government plans to legalise same-sex marriage and adoption which have angered many Catholics and Muslims, France's two main faiths, as well as the right-wing opposition. The French parliament is to debate the bill -- one of the key electoral pledges of Socialist President -- at the end of this month.

Pittsburgh columnist John Mehno says coach Mike Tomlin might be repeating "one of the legendary mistakes in Steelers history."
The error: Allowing new coordinator Todd Haley to force the learning of all-new terminology rather than adjusting his language to what the players already know.
"Chuck Noll hired Joe Walton as his offensive coordinator in 1990 and decided the Steelers would learn Walton's language.
"The players, led by Bubby Brister, rebelled, and things were never quite right. Noll retired after the 1991 season."

The Browns aren't the only team to get hit in the broad daylight of spring.
We noted yesterday that Terrell Suggs' Achilles tear is a blow to a Baltimore opponent they will face twice.
Turns out the Eagles, the opening-day foe, have learned that left tackle Jason Peters, a five-time Pro Bowler, has suffered a second rupture to an Achilles.
• • •
Reggie Bush says he wants to lead the NFL in rushing.
And I demand my Pulitzer prize.
• • •
If you had to bet the house on who would run for more yards in 2012 ... Bush or Trent Richardson?
Bush's rushing yards, by season: 565, 581, 404, 390, 150, 1,086.
Guess he's on a roll.

Minnesota GM Rick Spielman's take, via twincities.com, on pursuing free agents in a town that might need a new stadium to stay in town:
"In the past, they were asking where we were going to play. I had no answer for them. I'm sure it always comes down to money and financials."
Is it that simple? Most players would come to, say, Cleveland, if the Browns showed them the money?
Just yesterday, in Canton, Pat Shurmur said, "Philosophically, we believe in signing free agents."
• • •
One of the Browns' best underdog stories ended yesterday when the Browns cut running back Armond Smith. He was let go a week after his 26th birthday. He was the fastest player in Berea last year.
He played at Union College, which has had only one NFL draft pick in its history.
Undrafted rookie Adonis Thomas (Toledo) bumped Smith off the roster.
• • •
The NFL has resumed its practice of using the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a main stage for a rookie orientation.
All 32 teams will be bringing their rookies through the Hall within the next couple of months.
The program was suspended last year, although the Browns brought their rookies to Canton.
• • •
In front of a big crowd in town yesterday, Pat Shurmur chose an interesting way to say he loses his temper and his patience sometimes:
"I've got to pray for forgiveness often. I say a lot of things I shouldn't."
Shurmur said his uncle Fritz, who was a coordinator for Mike Holmgren, would say a bad word on a somewhat regular basis.
• • •
Shurmur has been using a pat response to certain questions projecting things like whether Brandon Weeden will be the man in 2012.
"We're getting way ahead of ourselves."
So, Trent Richardson shouldn't even be looking at this, but ...
Here are draft spots of some selected Hall of Fame running backs:
• No. 1 overall: Earl Campbell, O.J. Simpson
• No. 2 overall: Marshall Faulk, Eric Dickerson, Tony Dorsett
• No. 3 overall: Barry Sanders
• No. 4 overall: Walter Payton, Gale Sayers
• No. 6 overall: John Riggins, Jim Brown
• No. 8 overall: Larry Csonka
• No. 17 overall: Emmitt Smith
• No 74 overall: Curtis Martin
Richardson, of course, was a No. 3 overall pick.

Wednesday, September 23, 2009
For those who didn't know, there happened this tragic incident with me a few weeks back. Some morally corrupt pervert had stolen my beloved mobile N95. As I was so much in love with it, I got another one.
Life was moving on smoothly (no high-tides too) just till yesterday. I got a call at noon from some unknown number, speaking in rapid Hindi 'Ha, Manoj Kumar?? I got your mobile, come to Chinchwad Police Station now.' I asked 'What? Who Manoj Kumar? I guess it's a wrong number.' He replied 'Arre Manoj Kumar, I am Sayeed. Your N95 mobile was lost no? It has been found, come to Chinchwad now.' and he hung up.
At that moment, my expressions were as if I was frozen in the middle of a long belly laugh. The Policemen didn't even file any FIR for my stolen mobile. They verbally thrashed me on asking for an FIR and compensated by lodging one missing report instead of an FIR. I started reading my own thoughts. How can they find my lost mobile? Even if they found it, instead of keeping it with themselves, why do they want to return an N95? Was some spoiled friend playing a prank on me?
I took my PM's permission and started driving in heavy rain to the police station. I knew I had to give them money as baksheesh to get my mobile back. I took all my money from wallet and kept few notes in every pocket. While disbursing the money from every pocket, it somehow gives an impression that you have emptied all your pockets and given all of your money and you don't have more.
Sub Inspector Sayeed wore an formal attire, the one you see encounter specialists wearing in Bollywood movies. He had that look on his face which made him of the rare samaj-se-buraayi-ka-terminator type. He greeted me, 'Aao Manoj Kumar, Do you have doubt on someone?' I showed him copy of missing report stating 'Sir its Tanuj Bhargava. I don't have doubt on anyone'. He then showed me my beloved mobile, completely scratch-less, as good looking as it was when I owned it. I was animated as if I had been supplied an electrical impulse.
He then left the scene by introducing me to Vikrant, who helped him in recovering the mobile, who later I found as The-Man. Vikrant then told me that he has his contacts in all mobile operator companies and he found that someone in town Sholapur was using my mobile. Vikrant asked Syed Sahib who had to go to Sholapur for some work. The new mobile user from Sholapur had bought my N95 for Rs 5000 and Syed Sahib thrashed him, grabbed the mobile from him and bought it to me.
They both could have used the mobile for themselves, could have gifted it to their wives or their children and nobody would have tracked them. I took Vikrant with me to a nearest Chai-waala and finally negotiated the amount to 1700 INR and gave it to Vikrant. Since they had to give some baksheesh to the informer too, this amount was higher than I expected. And since I had no hopes of getting the mobile worth 20K back, and since Syed Sahib went to Sholapur, recovered my mobile and informed me, I was more than happy to give the baksheesh to them.
After some discussion with Syed Sahib, Vikrant came back and recorded my statement in Marathi. He then gave me 200 INR back stating 1500 INR are enough for them. They both came and said 'Don't think all policemen doesn't work. We do work. Whenever anything happens to you, come to us.' as if they were the lines of some poetry.
They were the men of honor.
I drove back happily. I later came to know my pocket wasn't big enough to hold two N95s. :)

3* NCAAF SMASH on Toledo -6.5
3* NCAAF SMASH on Toledo -6.5
Ball State vs. Toledo, 11/06/2012 20:00 EDT, Score: 34 - 27
Point Spread: -6½/-110 Toledo
Sportsbook: BookMaker
Result: Loss
3* NCAAF SMASH on Toledo -6.5
The Rockets have won eight in a row since losing their season opener 24-17 in overtime at Arizona. Their winning streak is very significant. Consider that home favorites matched up against a conference opponent following 7 or more consecutive wins are 82-38 ATS the last 10 seasons. Teams fitting into this situation have won by an average of 24.2 points. This system is 7-2 ATS this season.
Toledo is 5-0 in MAC play and has won these games by an average of 11.4 points. It is 5-2 ATS in its last seven conference games dating back to last season.
The Rockets won last season's meeting 45-28 at Ball State. They have won each of the past three meetings by an average of 10.3 points. It is also worth noting that the favorite is on a 4-1 ATS run in the series.
Toledo is on a 24-10 ATS run as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points, winning these games by an average score of 34.4 to 22.0. It is on a 10-2 ATS run as a home favorite of 3.5 to 7 points and has won these by an average score of 38.3 to 19.8.
The Cardinals are one of the worst defensive teams in the country. They rank 109th in total defense with 465.2 yards allowed per game and 101st in scoring defense with 33.3 points allowed per contest. They will struggle to slow down a Toledo offense that ranks 32nd in the nation in total offense with 454.7 yards per game and 34th in scoring with 34.3 points per game.
The Rockets outgained the Cards 507-395 in last season's win. We'll lay the points.

PCB fines 5 Pak players 5000 dollars each for 'unauthorised' participation in US T20 event
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly fined 5000 dollars each to five of its cricketers for participating in an unauthorised Twenty20 tournament in the United States.
Last month, the PCB formed a three-member committee to investigate players' participation in the tournament.
According to The Dawn, the PCB said that fast bowler Wahab Riaz, all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, middle order batsman Fawad Alam and opening batsmen Nasir Jamshed and Shahzeb Hasan all were fined 500,000 rupees for competing in last month's Friendship Cup T20 tournament in Houston.
The report mentioned that the players, among whom Riaz, Alam and Jamshed are participating in the 40-member training camp in Lahore, admitted their participation in the Houston event although they insisted that they were not aware that a prior approval of the PCB was required, according to ICC regulations.
Legspinner Danish Kaneria, who is serving a life ban, also competed in the tournament and the PCB has referred his case to its integrity committee for further action, the report added.

Pitcher of the Week: Pedro Beato
Why He's Here: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 0.00 ERA
Scoop: You may be surprised to see a reliever here, but most of the starters only made one appearance or had an awful outing. Beato has been a shutdown reliever for the Baysox so far, with 18 strikeouts and only 5 walks in 19.2 IP.
Hitter of the Week: Ryan Adams
Why He's Here: .333/.400/.404 (9 for 27), 2 2B, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 5 K
Scoop: Adams has had a solid season so far (hitting .295), but it seems like he's going unnoticed. Adams had a .926 OPS over his last ten games and he could be in for a breakout season, as some team officials predicted.

Mood CharacteristicsApparent low mood can have causes other than depression, including:
- Pain- Confusion- Loss of control
People with Aphasia may also become more egocentric - concerned primarily with oneself - and this can be very difficult for relatives and friends to deal with.
If you suspect that the person with Aphasia is depressed, seek help from his/her doctor. Or for further information, please follow this link to the NHS Direct website, which provides advice on treating depression and links to depression support charities.
EmotionsDamage to the right side of the brain can affect the ability to express emotions - this can be misinterpreted as depression.
A stroke can cause what is known as "emotional liability" or "emotionalism". People can cry or, in some cases, laugh for no reason; they can swing from one emotional extreme to another.
Medication may help, so do not be afraid to discuss the problem with your doctor.

York, PA -
The 2012 and 2013 York County Junior Golf Association match play championships have been eerily similar for West York's Axel Hartman.
He advanced to the semifinals a year ago as a low seed in the 16-person, two-day tournament. Hartman needed upsets and got them before losing to eventual champion Alex Hofstrand on the final hole.
Hartman returned Tuesday to Grandview Golf Club in Dover Township seeded a little higher for this year's match-play event, but still in the bottom half at No. 9.
He first faced Connor Bacha in the morning and won on the 18th hole. Next up was the tournament's No. 1 seed, Gus Minkin, who, like Bacha, is also from a Central York.
Again, the match went to the final hole in the head-to-head format. Minkin's approach to the green carried right and into a shrubbery part of a tree. Hartman's hit the green.
The difference proved too much in a matchup without many. Minkin conceded the sudden-death hole after his fourth shot, sending Hartman back to the semifinals for another year.
"My first match, it was pretty tough," Hartman said of Bacha, whose younger brother, Carson, caddied for Minkin. "He had me three down at two points in the match. I just had to keep fighting. Even with Gus here, I had to keep fighting back."
Hartman and three other golfers inched closer to the George Barton Match Play Championship Trophy, which will be awarded Wednesday after the semifinals at 8 a.m. and finals around noon.
Both the boys' and girls' titles will be decided.
York Catholic junior-to-be Nick Geiman will play Hartman in one of the semifinals. Geiman defeated fifth-seeded Evan Johnson, who also golfed last year for Central York.
Johnson also suffered through a bizarre final hole. In his case, an initial blast from the tee on hole No. 15 was lost. The quarterfinal foursome scattered around the area in which they thought it landed -- some 30 yards from the hole -- but could not find it. Johnson teed off again before his day ended with a 4-and-3 elimination.
Wednesday's other semifinal will pit No. 2 Michael Bair, a recent Eastern York graduate, and Austin Mertz of Central Dauphin.
The girls' championship will be played between Morgan Wirtz, last year's winner from Harford County High School in Maryland, and Julianne Lee, who will be an eighth-grader at Central York Middle School.
Fairfield's Isaiah Logue, who won the York County Amateur tournament earlier in July, and Josh Rinehart, Hartman's West York Area High School teammate, were absent from Tuesday's tournament. Both were said to be at an out-of-state American Junior Golf Association event.

You must be aware of the value, potential return and risk of your human capital: your job, career and what you do for a living. Human capital is the most valuable asset that you will own over your lifecycle. You need to balance financial decisions with the characteristics of your human capital. The key trends identified in the first edition of the book namely, the decline of Defined Benefit (DB) pension provision, the continued increase in human longevity and the risk of personal inflation, are as relevant today as they were five years ago. The financial crisis has taught us that all types of capital -- human, financial and even social -- are key to a secure financial future. If your career has "stock-like" growth and risk characteristics, Milevsky helps you balance your "portfolio" by tilting investments towards safer "bonds." If your job is more secure but offers lower financial upside, you'll learn to tilt your investments towards stocks that compensate for your lower earning potential. Either way, Milevsky shows you how to integrate investments, insurance, annuities, and retirement plans to generate the safe and reliable income you'll need.
This Edition's updates include:
- New 2012 data, charts, figures, and references
- More coverage of incorporating "human capital" into financial planning
- Advice reflecting the aftermath of the financial crisis
- Easier, more usable techniques, and less math!

I am using One local DNS Server for LAN user for accessing internet.Nowthe problem is when I put a new IP in the server it works fine with Windows machine, but the same ip fails to work with Linux machine.I amm using Class C ip address witth mask 255.255.255.192.Previously added IP address in the server working with Linux machine .Please help me to resolve the problem......
Please help me about the Local dNS problem..It's Urgent... till I cannot solve the problem....
You need to be more specific.
When you say, you enter the IP into your DNS server, do you mean add a new A record, or do you mean setup a new machine with another IP to access your DNS server ?
With a netmask of 255.255.255.192 you do realise that you only have room for 64 IP's, letting your DNS have something like 10.0.0.1 with a given broadcast of 10.0.0.64 gives you only room for IP's to add within 10.0.0.2-63, if your added IP is outside these bounds you're not able to contact it within your network.
If the problem lies within your abillity to resolve the NAME to the newly added IP, then it could be the linux machine is relying on the cached names, where the newly added hasn't propagated yet.
But unless you give us some more specific infos, like which name server, what the entered details are, where the problem occurs, we're not able to zero in on your specific problem.
Don't worry Ma'am. We're university students, - We know what We're doing.

Well another tournament and what do you know Taichi once again fails to advance to Class A, I am sure that there are no shortage of people who will plead that Taichi is simply habitually unlucky that the law of averages does not apply in his case. Perish the thought that Taichi is just not that good or that the cream of Class B is simply better than a rich kid who can't seem to buy his way into Class A. Yes Taichi is most unlucky to be the tragic fellow who cannot get over the hump despite three tries, but wait Harada-sensei has blatantly decided to go for favoritism and offer Taichi a place in Class A for coming close. Never mind that everyone else from the society had to earn their way in, but clearly the rich boy's club is starting to make itself felt and favors are extended. How terribly unlucky it is that Taichi is getting preferential treatment from the leader of his Karuta Society. It is great though that Taichi declined this most dishonorable of paths; however he may soon regret it and shed FAKE TEARS of lamentation when he fails repeatedly to get into Class A the right way. Still losing three tournaments in a row can't possibly be just bad luck, I think Taichi has been cursed. That has to be it, because Taichi's life was going okay until he cheated on his girlfiend and treated her like garbage. I have seen this all before, and yes I can say with certainty that Taichi isn't just unlucky he is in fact CURSED. The longer this goes on the harder it is to deny the Ex-Hex, because hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Taichi's ex-girlfriend, hell he never spoke her name and we still don't know who she is.
So while every Taichi-fan out there was concocting some fantasy where Arata was just some demon given form from Tacihi's nightmares, the truth is after some lost years Arata strikes back in dramatic fashion. I was pleased to see that Arata had been going through Taichi because he thought that Taichi would have been man enough to confess to Chihaya or die in the attempt in the year that they have been reunited. This is not the case, though, and while Taichi, being the loser he is, thought that Arata simply wanted to share Chihaya, he now knows full well that he had fiddled while Rome burned. I have saying all along that Chihaya was Taichi's to lose because despite the ample opportunity and optimally proximity he has never dared risk his heart for the chance at happiness with Chihaya. Quite why this is so hard a task is beyond me, after all Chihaya isn't going to eat him should she choose to reject him. So what is there to fear here? The worst Chihaya could do is say no, but I guess that Taichi is unlucky that Zeus did not miracle his ass some courage or replace the staff with the crew of Gundam SEED Destiny so he could be Jesus Mashima.
Chihaya is finally on her way to getting back on track academically but it was most unfortunate that Desk-kun was given any authority. Clearly the Old Bag wants to remind Chihaya of her inferiority to Desk-kun because she is a girl. Never before have I seen a more ragged old hag that was so hateful and dispeicable. First she meddles with a club Chihaya founded, then she crown's Class B Taichi as president for life, and now to further embarrass Chihaya she puts Desk-kun in charge of her schooling. I dare say what a decrepit system of education they have at this school, parents pay them to teach and yet none of the teachers can bother to make learning fun and engaging and instead force upon their students useless tests that reward mere memorization instead of understanding and cunning. It is clear that Chihaya's talents would be best suited for eavesdropping on conversations and a career in journalism or espionage would suit her best, but leave it to the unimaginative Old Bag to try and shoe horn Chihaya into being a housewife.
Taichi might be praying for his False Gods to make Chihaya confess to him, but Arata while just coming off of his couch is already retaking his place in Chihaya's heart. While the Old Crone is an enemy of friendship Zeus has seen fit to bring Arata and Chihaya back together again. Clearly while Taichi has been making such glacial progress, distance has made Chihaya's heart grow fonder of Arata. Arata has not lost much of a step and gave Hiroshi a bar fight, sadly Arata lost and had to settle for fourth place. Still a grand return considering every Class A player in the tournament was hoping to make the Meijin and Queen qualifier. So while Taichi is still facing an average field Arata decided to take on the cream of the crop and acquitted himself admirably. It is clear that Chihaya still sees Arata as her teacher and friend and while I am sure the water theme had Taichi fans all confused, it was simply a flood of AWESOMENESS. If we accept that Chihaya is a flower like her Hakama would have us believe then clearly Chihaya will need water to bloom. Arata is the water and she wishes to drink deeply from his well of knowledge and take in all that he has to teach her. More worryingly for Taichi though is that as Chihaya starts to understand the romantic aspect of the poems under Kana-chan's tutelage, Chihaya has started comparing her situation with Arata as the something out of Murasaki Shikibu.
Now for those of you who do not know, The Tale of Genji (the principle work which Murasaki Shikibu is associated with) is considered to be one of the oldest known novels and is rather famous in Japan as possibly the greatest story their culture has produced. Basically it is about Prince Genji, son of the Emperor and his most favored concubine, and his many lovers, the very first harem series if you will. So Genji has many lovers but among the notables that he doesn't get bored with are his first love, his step-mom, and his greatest (this is arguable) love, the niece of said step-mom who Genji kidnaps and raises to be his ideal woman. For the three of you out there who think this premise is simply awful (you are not alone), the issue is that when you look at the story it is hard to tell where Murasaki Shikibu's influence ends. You see the Tale of Genji was likely incomplete by the time Murasaki Shikibu died, so other authors wishing to complete the work decided to finish it in her name (if you prefer they were all riding her coattails). Suffice to say the quality does decline in the later chapters but that doesn't diminish how influential the story is not only for its literary merits but also because it paints a sordid picture of the decadent Heian court life before the rise of the Samurai and the AWESOMENESS that is the Tale of Heike (the Greatest and yet least celebrated Japanese tale OF ALL TIME).
The other notable work of Murasaki Shikibu is her diary, in which she seems to rail against the reality of Heian court life about drunken courtiers and other women at court who annoyed the hell out of her. While the Tale of Genji is more widely known it is her dairy which serves as a nice read for historians if only to get a picture of how one person lived at court and how she viewed court life. As for Chihaya's confusion over the poem on on how a girl can speak so lovingly of an osana-jimi who is also a girl, well there a couple ways to interpret it. Firstly same sex intercourse was allowable and was considered beautiful in that period and beyond, at least for men, possibly for women too. Prince Genji even beds a young boy early on after he failed to get into some girl's bed. So yes it is possible that the poem is also referring to a young lover or a bygone days. It cannot also be denied that in her diary Muraskai Shikibu does pay particular attention to Sei Shonogan, her blood rival (they served competing Imperial waifus). While she rails at men for being drunk, Mursaki goes into detail about how much she hates Sei Shonogan while admitting that Sei Shonogan was talented at writing. The malcontent in me holds that Murasaki Shikibu was tsundere for Sei Shonogan, and even there is evidence that Murasaki at least was married the truth is in that decadent court for poncy people wearing make up marrying for love was the exception, political expediency was the usual cause.
So now that you have digested that you all should know that Taichi should be worried because Chihaya is likening her situation to the Tale of Genji. That longing stuff and all the lamentation that her meeting with Arata was so fleeting, yeah it hints that Chihaya is the lover and Arata is her Genji or is it the other way around. While this is not a perfect fit for Arata knows a thing or two about honor and dignity, back in ye olde days in Heian Japan harems were allowed, illicit affairs were rather celebrated by men and women (at least in fiction), and Imperial succession was determined by the possession of a jewel, mirror, and sword. So yeah while Arata is nowhere near as flirtatious as Prince Genji, to Chihaya he is that dashing figure who gives her so much and all she wants to do is study under his AWESOME GLOW. The only thing that would fit Arata as Genji is that both were prodigies and if nothing else Chihaya is always over awed by Arata's presence in the same vein as the women go gaga for Genji while some dudes go gei Genji.
On the Yuri Front though while Arata has returned Kana-chan's devotion to Chihaya has not diminished and Kana-chan seems to be weeping tears of joy that Chihaya is redoubling her efforts to challenge Shinobu. Desk-kun may have been put in charge but it is Kana-chan who at the end of the day still cares the most about Chihaya. When Chihaya wanders it is Kana-chan who brings her back and keeps Chihaya on the right path while Taichi would make snide remarks and Desk-kun couldn't care less. Now that we know that distance makes Chihaya's heart grow fonder I wonder what will happen when Shinobu returns. I am hoping that since Chihaya and Shinobu have common interests that they can have a better relationship, though with four more episodes to go we might not get to it. I still want to see Arata vs. Shinobu if only so that we can start establishing a pecking order. I think that would be a great match and a match that Chihaya would remember forever in her heart.
As for Taichi giving up on making Class A and focusing on being a man who doesn't run away, the problem is though I fail to see what he is running from. The problem is he can't run to Chihaya and confess because at the end of the day it wasn't that he was fleeing from her. Rather he had been waiting in vain for the better part of his life. This is hardly an epiphany and if Taichi can't stand out in karuta I wonder what master plan he has for getting noticed because it seems that confessing still has not occurred to him.
Hana's thoughts: on underwater love
Loved this episode. Not only did we get a proper amount of Arata screentime that included him playing in a Karuta tourney (finally!), but we also got some great development of all three main characters, an interestingly used 'reality check' in the form of impending end-of-year exams, and some of the most striking imagery and use of poetry in the series to date. And a cute montage of mini-flashbacks of the main three as littl'uns. So, the episode was framed by Chihaya's perspective, beginning and ending with her thoughts on Karuta vs. the pressures of study, before concluding with her realision of the importance of doing 'the things you don't want to do, before you can do the things you truly want to do.' Which doesn't exactly need a rocket scientist to figure out, but it was satisfying seeing Chihaya's shifting perspectives, from someone who is so short-sighted at times, to someone who is able to see and deal with the bigger picture. Thus, the process seemed like a mini-journey for her, if you will.
Moving on, I very much enjoyed the development of the three leads and the way this was portrayed via the 'cinematography' in the episode. Red/ fire vs. blue/ ice/ water are oppositions that have been used before in the show, but I found the underwater imagery completely captivating. Water… being engulfed in it, gulping it, the difficulties of walking through it, while others move through it so easily, being doused by it, water as a tranquil presence, but also a fast moving, throbbing, gushing force… Coupled with the poetry and the Genji story (see above for Crusader's explanation), this puts Chihaya, Arata and Taichi in other interesting lights. While Arata isn't exactly a traditional Genji figure in any sense, the excitement and sadness in Chihaya's reading of the respective verses was quite moving, conveying the passion and loss that goes hand in hand with chasing after someone you admire so much and yet being repeatedly torn away from them and their love/ friendship. In short, Chihaya's admiration and passion seemed to be reborn after watching Arata play, and yet she allows Kana-chan to take her away and back to the reality of her academic responsibilites. Thus, to extend the water metaphor further, you could say that Chiahaya was both 'engulfed' by her passion, but it was also 'doused' or tempered by the reality of her circumstances. Finally, Arata and Taichi's blushes did nothing to sway the 'Chiahay x ??' shippers, as clearly both consider her as a potential romantic partner, but I will add that I was pleased that Taichi did not take an underhand or easy way out in either of his roles as a romantic rival and as a professional. Clearly, he, like each of the others, has come a long way.

LOUISVILLE - Following a poll of the more than 30 attendees at the towns public hearing regarding the creation of a third water district in the town, trustees voted unanimously to proceed with the creation of the district via permissive referendum.
At the conclusion of the hearing Town Supervisor Larry R. Legault asked for a show of hands from people who would like to continue the process via permissive referendum and nearly every hand in the building was raised. When he asked if there was anyone who wanted to see a public vote, not a single hand was raised.
This is by far the fastest way, said Town Attorney Eric J. Gustafson. You could begin in 30 days.
Had the town elected to hold a public vote, he said that would delay the nearly five months of engineering and planning work that must be done prior to actually construction by an additional 60 to 75 days.
If you go permissive referendum, short of a petition the project will begin in 30 days, said Engineer Timothy Burley, who is designing the project for the town.
Mr. Gustafson explained in order for a public vote to be held someone must submit a petition containing signatures from 5 percent of the landowners residing within the district.
And thats something that Mr. Legault said he doesnt think is going to happen.
You saw the meeting tonight, people want us to get started, he said.
Once the engineering and design work is complete, likely sometime this fall, Mr. Burley said construction on the project, which will encompass the entire hamlet and several other outlying areas in the town, including a small portion of the town of Norfolk, will begin.
Nicole LaPradd wondered where construction will begin.
That will be up to the contractor, Mr. Burley said. We dont want to get into a neighbor versus neighbor thing.
Town Assessor David Cassort wanted to know if people had to wait for the entire project to be completed before they received their water service.
Absolutely not, Mr. Burley replied.
Mr. Cassort also said he wanted to make sure the project was really going to happen this time.
Weve been disappointed with this once before, he said. Any chance of that happening again?
According to Mr. Burley residents of the water district can be assured that this time the project will actual happen.
This is firm, that money is obligated to you, he said referring to a financing package from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.
That funding package includes a grant for $1,367,771 and a zero interest loan for $7,907,229 to cover the $9.2 million projects total costs. Without that grant, which was announced in January residents of the district were looking at an average cost of $695 per year, with the grant the cost is now $631 per year.
The disappointment though referred to by Mr. Cassort was the loss of stimulus funds that occurred after government officials realized they had awarded more funding than what was actually available.
Once construction does begin, Mr. Burley said by the time the entire district is completed the town could be looking at upwards of 300 days of construction, although he did note that barring extreme circumstances construction will be year-round.
With the size of the equipment theyre using they can do that, he said.
Estimated costs for water service will be $631 per residence and $222.50 per year for vacant parcels that are deemed buildable property. Any parcels that are currently in use as productive agricultural land, with no home or water service on them will be exempt from biller, per New York State Law.
