CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- A growing number of homeowners are choosing to pay down their mortgages at a faster rate -- even if it means a substantial jump in their monthly payments.
From January through June, 26% of homeowners who refinanced chose a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage, according to data from CoreLogic, a provider of financial, property and consumer information. During all of 2009, 18.5% of borrowers who refinanced opted for a 15-year term. About 9.4% did so in 2007.

What's prompting the shift to shorter loans? Historically low interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages.
Homeowners are doing the math and realizing that rates have fallen enough so the increase in payment between a new 15-year mortgage and their current loan is no longer unbearable for their budgets, said Bob Walters, chief economist at online lender Quicken Loans.
The average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.86% for the week ending Aug. 26, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey of conforming mortgage rates.
A change in thinking
The financial situation of the people capable of refinancing today is a factor in the shift, Walters said. These people typically are homeowners with the best credit and the most equity -- and, therefore, most suited for a shorter-term loan.
But there might be some psychology at work. "We're seeing a different view on debt than maybe we've seen in the past," he said. Today, homeowners are saying, "I really want to pay this off. I'm going to bite the bullet and take the payment and work toward paying this down."
Also, the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage is below 4% right now, and having a mortgage rate that starts with a "3" is attractive for people who can afford it, said Leif Thomsen, chief executive of Mortgage Master, a privately owned lender.
It also acts as somewhat of a forced savings account for homeowners, he said, given that the higher payments help pay down the principal at a quicker clip.
This is a huge shift in borrower thinking. "There was a drive a couple of years ago to take out the biggest mortgage that you could and use all of the money you would have otherwise had in the house and put it into stocks and bonds -- to think of your house and mortgage as part of your entire investment portfolio," said Amy Crews Cutts, deputy chief economist for Freddie Mac.
"That worked for people who do investment finance for a living and are good at managing accounts," she said. "But for the average person, debt is a drag on their psyche as well as their overall budget."
Many Americans have reverted to the goal of paying off their house and getting rid of their mortgage, Cutts said.
Doing the math
Refinancing into a shorter-term mortgage isn't a strategy for everyone, however.

PARISHVILLE - Just months after the Fierce Five won gold in London and inspired a nation of young girls and women to take up gymnastics, the Parishville-Hopkinton Central School District is debating the future of its program following the retirement of long-time coach Ann M. Krueger-Harmon Burrows.
Ms. Burrows has led the program for the past 39 years and said she would like to see it continue under the leadership of two of her former gymnasts. Nikki Perkins and Darcie MacNiel.
In a letter dated Dec. 17, Ms. Burrows said she was disappointed to hear the program may not be coming back.
I am writing to express my disappointment concerning your decision to drop the gymnastics program at PHCS, she wrote. You have two very competent women who wish to get any certifications necessary as required by Sec. X and also within the district for coaching. These two both have more than six years team experience and also coaching experience working with me.
While a formal decision to abolish the program has not yet been made, coaches were not hired when the board met in October and discussed the future of the program, effectively ending it.
At the December board of education meeting, Superintendent Darin P. Saiff and the board was presented a petition containing the signatures of 103 students who wanted to see the gymnastics program brought back to the school.
That petition, which simply read, If you would like gymnastics back, please sign reignited the conversation, with Mr. Saiff now calling the status of the program up in the air.
Brooke E. Newtown attended the meeting and spoke on behalf of the districts gymnasts.
We know you have voted gymnastics out and we made a petition with 103 signatures, she said.
Ms. Newtown then questioned why gymnastics was being targeted for elimination.
So when Mr. Harper (longtime coach, Evan Harper) retires, there will be no varsity soccer or softball, because you dont want any injuries under a new coach? she asked? What sport will those students, including me, play if we dont like any other sports?
Her grandfather, Ron Ferguson also spoke up in support of gymnastics at the meeting.
Whats this thing, liability? he asked. You have liability insurance for other sports programs. How can you say youre worried about liability? It doesnt make sense.
Mr. Remington said comparing gymnastics isnt something that can be accurately compared to other sports.
You have to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges, he said. Look at your insurance policy. Companies are always looking for a reason to drop you.
Mr. Saiff said its not the liability hes worried about, rather its the safety of the districts students.
Im not sure I heard the board say liability was the issue, I think it was serious injury, Mr. Saiff recalling the discussion from Octobers meeting.
He echoed those sentiments after the meeting and with conversations he had with Ms. Perkins and Ms. MacNiel.
Financial liability, to be honest, doesnt concern me nearly as much as the physical well-being of the students and the risk of injury, he said.
And its the superintendents fear of injury that Ms. MacNiel said appears likely to doom the program.
When I talked to Mr. Saiff the other day he told me, To Be honest with you, Im going to discourage it. He said he couldnt stand to see a child get paralyzed, she said recalling her conversation with Mr. Saiff prior to Christmas vacation.
While Mr. Saiff said he realizes the risk for injury was always there, he feels that risk is greater with new coaches than it was with Ms. Burrows.
Was there a risk of injury? Yes, there always will be when youre doing high amplitude stunts. But when you have a coach with 30-plus years of experience the risk likely goes down a little bit, he said.
Ms. Burrows said shes glad the superintendent who was in charge 39 years ago didnt share those same beliefs.
I too was a new and young coach when I first started here at Parishville, she said, adding the start of her career came just a few years removed from a serious injury.
I was told some students snuck into the gymnasium and proceeded to fool around on the vaulting side horse and a student was injured for life, she recalled. Each and every year for many years I was reminded of that accident, and my response and policies always continued to be one of strict safety measures.
When asked if she felt Ms. MacNiel and Ms. Perkins were qualified to run the program, Ms. Burrows said she has no doubt in their abilities or qualifications.
Im absolutely confident in their abilities, she said, adding she would like to see the program return this year.
I would hate to see it go away for a year, she said. It would be a concern that it would never come back.
As for the boards stance, that appears to be split. While not identifying specific board members, Ms. Burrows said in her letter that two of the districts current board members were gymnasts themselves and five of them have children who have participated in the program. Ironically, it would take five yes votes to hire coaches and restore the program.
Board member Fred Wilhelm said he feels like gymnastics is the best bargain the district has.
For the amount of money thats spent (the only expense is a coaching stipend) and the number of students involved, I think we get the best for out investment, he said. Its all in-house, so they dont go to other schools, so theres no transportation cost. Theres no season, they just put on an exhibition.
And while there may not be a season, board member Tim Zellweger said the sport and its equipment take up a lot of time and space.
In the past theyve tied up the gym for three months, he said, to which fellow board member Heidi Simmons wondered if it wasnt a problem then, why is it a problem now.
Ms. Simmons also said she would like to see the sport come back.
All of the people who were willing to help were extremely willing to get their certification, she said.
Board of education member Robert White said he agrees with Mr. Saiff and is worried about the safety of the students involved with the program.
On a scale of one to 10, she was an 11 and I dont want to settle for a five, he said, referring to Ms. Burrows and the prospective coaches. You have to find someone equal to her. If they walk in here with credentials then theyve got a chance.
Board members B. Resa Remington and Dan Taylor both said if the coaches get certified, they would be in favor of bringing the program back.
I thought the reason we turned it down was the two young ladies didnt have a coaching certificate. If they would get their certificate, I think we would let it fly, Ms. Remington said.
If they want the program back, bring the people in here and let us know what their certifications are, Mr. Taylor said. If they had certified coaches that would be great.
James Young also said he would be willing to support the restoration of gymnastics, but only if the program had certified coaches.
The certification has to be in place before they start, he said.
Mr. Remington offered up a bit of advice to those hoping to save the sport, Do your homework and get your ducks in a row, he said.
And thats something that Ms. MacNiel said she would be willing to do.
I havent done any of my certification requirements, because we were turned down in October, she said. I told them I wasnt going to waste money getting certified, if they werent going to bring the program back.
She continued, I talked to Mr. Saiff the other day and told him that if they brought the program back, I would get certified.
Ms. Perkins said she actually began her certification course, but stopped after four weeks of the six-week class after hearing the program had been canceled.
She recalled meeting with Athletic Director Robert Stewart and Mr. Saiff prior to the start of the school year.
They gave us their word that they would get the information about what safety certifications we needed for gymnastics at Parishville, she said, adding when she attended the September board meeting to discuss the program, it was almost as if the meeting had never happened.
They acted like they never had that meeting with us, Ms. Perkins said. I feel they pushed us away, so that we wouldnt be able to get certified and have a season this year.
When asked if she think the program has any future, Ms. Perkins, who has a sister hoping to participate in gymnastics this year, said she really does hope it comes back, but shes doesnt think it will.
I dont really think theyre going to bring it back. If they were, they would have been prepared at that first board meeting, she said.
And even if the program does come back, Ms. Perkins said at this point shes not sure what kind of role she could play.
Now theyre bringing it back up, but Ive kind of thought about doing other things, she said, adding she would be willing to defer leadership of the team to Ms. MacNiel.
I dont know if I could be the leader at this point, but Darcie would do a great job, she said.
This is something special to Parishville, she said. I was in gymnastics from third grade until I was a senior. I really enjoyed the program and ever since I graduated in 2006 I helped out whenever I could. I was hoping to maybe one day take over the program.
Ms. MacNiel also noted that gymnastics has been a part of her life for a long time.
Ive been doing gymnastics since I was seven, she said, adding her involvement with the sport at Parishville-Hopkinton began when her family moved to Parishville when she was in the eighth grade.
Ms. MacNiel has also taught gymnastics at SUNY Potsdam with Mrs. Burrows and even directed a show there.
Thats why I dont understand why theyre doing this to us. Its not like we dont know what were doing, she said.
While Ms. MacNiel said shes willing to do whatever it takes to bring the program back, she too fears that one year without gymnastics would be the death of the program.
I think if its gone for a year, then its going to be gone forever, because I dont think Mr. Saiff wants it to be a part of the school, she said. Thats something that set Parishville apart. I was proud to go to Parishville-Hopkinton because they had a gymnastics program.

Installing and Configuring Nginx
Running a web server is one of the most common uses for the Raspberry Pi. In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to setup Nginx for serving static files (HTML, PNGs, etc.) but I'm also going to show how you how to set it up so that we can also serve PHP (which is probably the most popular server-side scripting language used on Linux). Let's get started.
The first thing we're going to do is update our software sources and install Nginx.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nginx
At this point the service isn't running yet so you can start it with this command.
sudo service nginx start
With the service running, go ahead and navigate to your Pi's IP in a web browser and you should see the following page. This is the default page for Nginx, so if we see this then we know it's working.
By default Nginx serves its static content out of /usr/share/nginx/www. However, the convention among the Linux community is to serve these files out of /var/www since this is commonly how Apache is configured. This folder doesn't exist by default so we're going to create it.
sudo mkdir /var/www
Before we proceed I should explain how Nginx virtual host configurations are organized. Nginx configuration files allow for a person to specify multiple sites that can be hosted by a single server. The convention is that each of these virtual host configurations is stored in its own file. Within /etc/nginx you'll see a sites-available folder, this is where these the virtual host files are stored. When Nginx actually starts up it looks at another folder, sites-enabled, to see if there are any configuration files enabled. To enable a new virtual host configuration you just make a symlink in the sites-enabled that points to the configuration file in the sites-available folder. And likewise if you wanted to stop serving a site you just remove the symlink for it in the sites-enabled folder.
So the process I just described is exactly what we're going to go through right now. If you look in the sites-enabled folder you'll just see a file called default. This is Nginx's default virtual host file that serves out /usr/share/nginx/www. I always like to start fresh, so we're going to go ahead and disable that one.
sudo service nginx stop
sudo unlink /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
Now let's go ahead and create a new virtual host config at /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite. And put the following in it.
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www;
index index.html index.htm;
This is probably the most basic config file you can have. We're telling Nginx to listen on port 80 (default for HTTP traffic), use /var/www as the root folder for serving out our files, and then we tell it the filenames that'll be used when looking for the index page. With that saved, let's enable it and turn Nginx back on.
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/mysite
sudo service nginx start
And if you place a simple HTML file in /var/www now you should be able to navigate to it in your browser. If you're curious about the more detailed configuration options then have a look at the Nginx wiki.
Installing and Configuring PHP
With Nginx all setup, we can now go ahead and install PHP. Now the way PHP and other server side languages work is that they run in a process apart from Nginx. Nginx merely handles the web requests and will send the request over to PHP if PHP code needs to executed. Once PHP is done it returns the response back to Nginx. There are several different technologies for handling this communication between PHP and the web server. Aside from Apache, most web servers use one called FastCGI. So we're actually going to be installing PHP-FPM which is a FastCGI interface that will allow Nginx to send requests to PHP. Along with that we're also going to install a PHP extension called APC that greatly helps accelerate PHP's performance. Let's install it with the following command.
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm php-apc
After that the service should automatically be started and running. But we'll want to restart it to make sure that the APC extension got loaded.
sudo service php5-fpm restart
Now we just need to modify our virtual host configuration file slightly so that it knows where to send the PHP requests. Open up /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite in a text editor and modify it so that it looks like the following.
server {
listen 80;
root /var/www;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
What we've done here is tell Nginx that any requests ending in php need to be passed to PHP-FPM. We've also specified that we want to add index.php as an index page in addition to index.html and index.htm. Now with those changes we should be good to go so let's create a test file at /var/www/test.php and put the following PHP code in it.
And lastly let's restart Nginx for the virtual host changes to take effect.
sudo service nginx restart
Load up a browser now and point it to http://<your Pi's IP>/test.php and you should get the following output.
And there you have it, your Pi is now setup as a lightweight web server that can serve static files and PHP.

I recently got a comment on my blog complaining about all of the editions of SQL Server, so why don't Microsoft just stick to one?
SQL Server gets everywhere, from a smart phone to a data centre and now the cloud (with SQL Sever data services). If you are using media player the metadata is in SQL Server and if you follow any of my links to a Microsoft.com resource then chances are that the link is a row in a SQL Server database. My point is that the scale of the underlying database and the platform it runs on are very different. So the editions reflect the intended use of that edition and have the appropriate features included. For example only standard and enterprise editions include analysis services, as small workgroups, web servers and developers simply won't use the tool.
The next bit of flak I usually get on this is around all of the goodies in Enterprise edition i.e. "why isn't feature X in standard edition?" I don't believe it's about forcing users to adopt enterprise edition I think it's about recognising that in many organisations the database engine is just an appliance that is left in the corner, it's not under significant load and there's no dedicated support for it. In this very common scenario all of these features aren't going to be used and if they are they may well cause more problems than they solve..
So the editions are there so you only pay for what you use, if indeed you do pay as two of them are free (compact and express), but again intended for different uses. I have pasted a short summary of the editions below from the SQL Server site:
* Web Edition is only available for web workloads. Please see the licensing section for more details.
** Developer Edition to be used for Application Development and Testing only. Please see the licensing section for more details.
and for more details on what is in each edition go this page on TechNet.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jerry Jackson, out with the wild things. The weedy plant known as 'Spanish needles' is also sometimes known as 'devil's pitchfork'. To science, it's known as Bidens alba. Bidens means 'two teeth', referring to the two needle-like prongs that extend like tines of a miniature pitchfork from each black, sliver-like seed. All of these names refer to one very functional characteristic of its seeds. A close look at the composite, white-petaled, one inch diameter flower of Spanish needles reveals a tight cluster of yellow tube flowers in the center. Those around the outside mature first, followed by those to the center. The maturing seeds crowd one another at the base, causing the tiny pitchforks to be spread apart, arranged tines-out in a globe much like that formed by the tiny parachutes on the seed heads of a dandelion, another very successful weedy composite flower. A close look at the tines reveals that each is also barbed, an exquisite design for grabbing hold and hanging on for the ride.
'With the Wild Things' is produced at the Whitaker Center in the College of Arts and Sciences at Florida Gulf Coast University. For 'The Wild Things', I'm Dr. Jerry Jackson.

Chinese tennis star Li Na will be featured on the May 26 issue of Time magazine — the second time she will be on the magazine's cover in little over a year.
Li was also featured in the 2013 Time 100, the issue that lists the magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.
"I am really honored to be featured on the cover of Time magazine yet again," Li told the WTA. "As one of the most widely read publications in the world, I am very grateful to be in the position to make an impact on the multitude of people, especially women, and to show them that if you truly believe in yourself and in your talent, and are willing to work hard, your dreams can become reality."
The story, "The Passion of Li Na," (entitled "The Meaning of Li Na" online) focuses on Li's influence beyond the tennis court. Li made history at the 2011 French Open when became the first Asian-born tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles title.
The tennis star is more than a global sports icon – she inspires millions of Chinese as a symbol of independence and freedom
Li, ranked No. 2 in the world, was the third highest paid female athlete in the world in 2013 according to Forbes, behind only fellow tennis players Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams, who ranked first and second, respectively.
Her total earning was $18.2 million with $15 million coming in endorsements.
Li won her second career Grand Slam title this year at the Australian Open and reached the finals at Miami in March. She lost to Italy's Sara Errani at the Italian Open quarterfinals on Friday.

With 3000 ANSI lumens at a 2100:1 contrast ratio the IN2114 can project large, bright images even when it's up against substantial ambient light.
Even with its rugged design and high projection power it has all of the features you'd expect in an advanced projector.
It's got a 100 to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz power supply. Its onscreen display (OSD) offers 17 languages. It can project NTSC, PAL and SECAM video. Its HD capabilities include 720p, 1080i and 1080p and it's PC and Mac cmpatible. The IN2114 can not only project all the time it can do it with a wide variety of signals in most of the world.
With a Texas Instruments DLP imager with BrilliantColor the IN2114 not only works hard but, well, brilliantly. Ironically, DLP chipsets not only produce some of the most intensely vivid and beautiful images of any technology, they actually save you time, money and in permanent installations, the possibility of skinned knuckles too. DLP chips don't require filters that have to be periodically cleaned and replaced.
The IN2114 is ready to plug into your LAN through its RJ45 jack. Once you've got it set up you can remotely monitor and control the projector and have it email you with warning and failure notifications.

How do I remove a hem line when I have lengthened a pair of slacks?
Washing and ironing don't work. Using white vinegar and water don't work. Please help.
- Asked by barb5538, Female, 66 or older
Your last bet is to take it to the dry cleaners and see if they can do something with it .. unfortunately the fiber in the fabric is broken so if ironing vinegar etc.. not working it might not fixable.
- Response by marika62, A Thinker, Female, 46-55, Who Cares?
Sometimes you just can't.....You could take it to a drycleaner/or tailer and see if they can steam it. I have a pair of pants like this, and you just can't do a thing to fix it.
- Response by kmf1, A Life of the Party, Female, 46-55, Minneapolis, Who Cares?
That can be a really tricky problem with certan fabric. I would dampen the hem crease with a light solution of fabric sofener and try steam ironing with a wrapped brick or other heatsafe item inserted into the pant leg so that the steam will hopefully work better. The rather old fashioned pant stretcher may help but they are hard to find. Good luck.

Why wait to do in 2017 what you can do now?
That's what USC coach Lane Kiffin must've been thinking when he offered receiver Nathan Tilford, an eighth grader who'll graduate in 2017, a football scholarship. ESPN.com and the Los Angeles Times both confirmed the offer.
Tilford apparently turned heads this spring during 7-on-7 competition. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound receiver from Upland, Calif., attended USC practices this spring, ESPN.com reports.
USC has also extended offers to seven players in the 2015 class, including defensive back Iman Marshall from Long Beach, Calif. and 2016 receiver Brandon Burton.
But don't think this is a West Coast thing. LSU, Alabama and Texas have offered eighth grader Dylan Moses a scholarship.

Re: E-Books or Paper Books
This one favours e-books for several reasons:
1) Storage: My shelf was about to burst, then I stopped buying physical books and my BF and I begun to get rid of my physical
Star Trek
2) Travelling: At the moment, I'm living in a foreign country. Imagine I'd have to buy all the dead trees individually and then send them home! Instead, everything is on three handy devices: Kindle, laptop, smartphone.
3) Cost: E-books are significantly cheaper than most printed editions, esp. for books no longer available.
4) Availability: New reading sustenance is just a few clicks away, unlike printed editions. Without Kindle, I wouldn't have gotten old books like
. Also, standing in the street waiting for my friend to arrive, I can just flip out my smartphone and continue reading - sparing me to carry a book around.
5) Handiness: No book marks, no back slapping shut when I lie it down for a moment, no different sizes of books making storage a nightmare - just a file on multiple devices. Book marks - good riddance!
6) Vanity: By the Sword of Kahless, this is 21st century technology at its best! Next thing I want to see going the way of dinosaur after printed books are physical cables. "Would you kindly die?"

The global village: an intricately intertwined network of technology that binds together the world's economies, governments, and communication systems. So large, so vital, and so fragile. Now a sophisticated group is seeking to "disconnect the globe" by destroying computer grids, communications satellites, Internet cable centers, and biotech firms. Hard to do? If only that were so.
The major government agencies all lumber into action, but behind the scenes, the special projects office of the Intelligence Analysis Center knows that to catch unconventional terrorists requires unconventional methods. A small team, smart, agile, and quick, immediately starts to sift through a welter of often contradictory information about right-wing militias, Russian organized crime, Jihadist terrorists, and enemy nation-states, and chases leads across the country and overseas. But the attacks begin to come more swiftly and to grow in destructiveness. Soon they will reach the breakpoint. And then there will be nothing anyone can do.
Breakpoint is filled with technology being developed right now for a future just around the corner or, in many cases, already here - a technology certain to cause enormous political, social, and economic change. Will the changes be for better or worse? And what will happen then? The answers will surprise you.
Sometimes you can tell more truths through fiction.

"[A] fast-paced and fascinating novel." (Booklist)
"Veteran counterterrorism official Clarke...proves once again that authenticity, insider information and top-secret access artfully applied trumps fancy writing with this cutting-edge, nail-biter techno-thriller." (Publishers Weekly)
"Interesting but no cigar"
Enjoyable listen but not near as good as his first book. Great insights into current R&D and future uses.
"SciFi Thriller"
I could smell movie all over this. The epilogue of notes should come first, because it really fleshes out some of the SF stuff in the complex story. Richard Clarke has written a better novel than his first thriller. The characters are cookie cutter but the plot pulls on all the sort of things he did as a top DC official: terrorism, military stuff, computer and internet security, etc. A great audio book for a long drive. The narration was very good. Made me want to look into the concepts Clarke weaves thru the story.
"Plot idea good, compsci bad"
I understand the authors intent, and the book had a decent plot line. But much of the speculation around the computer science is very bad and for someone from such a background, it ruins theh book horribly.
"Makes you think."
Enjoyed the story and got a lot out of the book. It's certainly not a literary masterwork, but the ideas presented are important. Sometimes it's best to process our most complicated issues through stories. In that respect, this book is well worth a read.
"A glimpse of the future"
Clarke claims in the epilog that this is not a work of science fiction but is in fact prophetic of the technology we can expect to see within the next few years, some of which has already come into being. He weaves a plot that is suspenseful and gripping. If you are interested in what the future may have in store for the world this can be an important book for you.
Whether it's personal knowledge from his time in government, or just a great imagination, the author has a fascinating insight to our very near future.
This book is a wake up call reminding us that all of the risks involved in the internet which we've all come to love, hate, and depend on, are still unimaginable.
Great Read!!
"To Much of a Political Statement"
Narrator was good. Story was okay. Writer makes his political opinion heroic and demonize others ideas. Enjoyed other books but returning this one.
"Disappointing, flabby writing"
I would not recommend this book to someone interested in espionage literature. The premise of cyber-war is intriguing, perhaps even possible, but the plot of this is weak and the characters colourless.
Stop reading the book. Change my online passwords.
"An Excellent Techno Triller"
This novel is intended to be fiction, but in reality is far closer to the state of current affairs and technologies then most people knew till recently. If you are in the cyber-security field, I recommend you make your CIO or CEO read this book and then come discuss it with you. The content in this book provides a prediction into the next phase of asymmetric war - cyber war and covers a realistic scenario of what we might expect to see play out in the next few years. The prolog of the book cross-walks the reader through the technologies addressed in the story. While most will perceive many of these technologies to be pure scifi, you will learn many of these technologies are deployed, in testing, or in development currently. For those not in the know, I guarantee this will be an eye opener.
Dean's reading of the book was excellent. His differentiation of each character through voice and texture of language made the book come to life.
"Scary theme, disappointing story"
Probably not
Probably not. I've lost even more confidence in the excellence of Washington officials. The threat that Clarke describes is scary, but he imbeds this threat in a sophomoric story. Mark Bowden does a much better job of describing this threat.

US Congress set to end direct payments to farmers-A A +A
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
WASHINGTON -- Congress is poised to send a massive farm bill to President Barack Obama that would end $4.5 billion in yearly direct farm payments, widely criticized government subsidies paid to farmers whether they farm or not.
After years of negotiations, the Senate was finally expected to pass the almost $100 billion-a-year compromise bill Tuesday; the House of Representatives passed it last week. It replaces direct payments with a more politically defensible financial cushion for farmers who face losses because of unpredictable weather and market conditions, while also continuing to subsidize services for rural residents and communities who have hit hard times in recent years.
Much of cost of the old direct payments was redirected into the new insurance-style subsidies. Farmers would now be able to choose between subsidies that pay out when revenue drops or when prices drop.
Cotton and dairy supports were overhauled to similarly pay out when farmers have losses. Those programs may kick in sooner than expected as some crop prices have started to drop in recent months. The bill also includes higher subsidies for Southern rice and peanut farmers.
Direct subsidies to US farmers and other contentious agricultural issues have long bedeviled attempts to expand free trade across the Atlantic, leading the United States and European Union to file complaints against the other before the World Trade Organization, an arbitrator in trade disputes. While the US protests EU restrictions that keep American farm products out of Europe, Europeans have long wanted the US to reduce agricultural subsidies. Despite the disputes, the US and EU have been working on creating the world's largest free trade agreement.
The bill that could soon reach Obama's desk would save around $1.65 billion annually overall. But critics said that under the new subsidies, those savings could disappear if the weather or the market doesn't cooperate.
Craig Cox of the Environmental Working Group, an organization that has fought for subsidy reform for several years, said replacing the direct payments with the new subsidies is simply a "bait and switch."
"The potential for really big payoffs" is huge, he said.
Meat and livestock groups, meanwhile, are upset that Congress opted not to back off from mandatory country of origin labeling requirements and are worried the issue could start a trade war with Canada and Mexico.
Previous labeling rules required only the country of origin to be noted, such as "Product of US" or "Product of US and Canada." New rules that took effect last year require that labels for steaks, ribs and other cuts of meat include clear information about where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered. Labels must specify, for example, "Born in Mexico, raised and slaughtered in the United States."
Congress' decision not to address the issue has drawn criticism from Canadian officials. They say America's biggest trading partner may retaliate by imposing tariffs on a wide range of US products because the detailed origin labels drive up the price of Canadian exports and undermine competitiveness, causing about $1 billion a year in losses. A public hearing before the World Trade Organization is set for Feb. 18 in Geneva.
The majority of the bill's cost is not farm subsidies but food vouchers, which supplement meal costs for 1 in 7 Americans. The food stamp program was cut about 1 percent; the Republican-controlled House had pushed for five times that much.
House Republicans, saying the now $80 billion-a-year food stamp voucher has spiraled out of control, had stalled the bill for more than two years. Conservatives were eventually outnumbered as the Democratic-held Senate, the White House and a still-powerful bipartisan coalition of farm-state lawmakers pushed to get the bill done.
Leaders in both parties have hoped to bolster rural candidates in this year's midterm congressional elections.
Some Democrats objected to the cuts to food vouchers, even though they are much lower than what the House had sought.
Some Republicans took to the Senate floor Monday to say the bill doesn't do enough to trim spending. They include Charles Grassley of Iowa, who said he would vote against the bill because it does not do enough to lower farm subsidies to the wealthiest farmers.
The bill does have a stricter cap on the overall amount of money an individual farmer can receive — $125,000 in a year, while some programs were previously unrestricted. But the legislation otherwise continues a generous level of subsidies for farmers. (AP)

The good news according to study co-investigator, Richard B. Lipton, MD, Professor of Neurology at Einstein and Director of the Montefiore Headache Center, is that chronic migraine, its symptoms, and comorbidities including depression and anxiety are very treatable. Dr. Lipton advises, "Persons living with chronic migraine should speak with a knowledgeable health care professional about available treatments."
The American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention study began in 2004 when questionnaires were mailed to 120,000 U.S. households to identify severe headache sufferers. A sample of 24,000 severe headache sufferers, identified in 2004, have been followed annually through 2009. The 2009 survey included the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6), a self administered, six-item questionnaire that measures pain severity, activity limitations, fatigue, irritability and difficulty concentrating due to headache. Total sum scores range from 36-78 in the following categories: "no/little impact" (<50), "some impact" (50-55), "substantial impact" (56-59), and "severe impact" (60+).
Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by severe, painful headaches that are often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and increased sensitivity to light and sound. Headaches may last for hours or even days. The pain is often on one side of the head and pulsating. Headaches may be preceded by aura: sensory warning signs such as flashes of light, blind spots, tingling in the arms and legs.
Migraine can place a significant burden on headache sufferers, their families, and society. And chronic migraine has been demonstrated to have even greater impact than episodic migraine on a range of factors including socioeconomic status (employment status, household income), headache-related-disability (missed time from work, f

Proper Backup Configuration for an enterprise enviroment
What would be the proper backup configuration for an enterprise size environment with approximately 4TB worth of data and growing at a rate of 500GB a year.
Currently they have Backup Exec 2012.
This would need to include some sort of disaster recovery and data retension for 6 months.
Any thoughts on this?
Thank You
Nathan Berger
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You can also review Best Practice Guide for BE2012, please see link below
Problem is that BackupExec is far from "enterprise class," and 4TB with a 12% YoY growth is still SMB levels of data.
You may want to look at Netbackup if you want enterprise class, as its faster to backup in every way via multistreaming, multiplexing, and via tuning buffers. None of which are available on BackupExec. But its also about 10x the cost...
That said, BE will work providing you're backing up to disk or an OST device(ideal) The moment you introduce tape, be prepared to be disappointed with the performance. Unless its a duplicate job that is a low priority like a weekly set or monthly set.
There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."

The Tattoo
--- Making a Permanent Impression Since 1994 ---
By COLLIN SEGUIN The Tattoo What do a paper pyramid, an empty video box, a pen, and a whole lot of booklets have in common? They are just a few of the prizes you can win on "The Great College Search." The game started for me just after I had taken the PSATs, or practice SATs, for the second time. Colleges started sending me mail, and I was overwhelmed by a deluge of letters congratulating me, and books telling me that I was perfect for the school in question. This overload of attention impressed me. I started to think, wow, I must really be special to these colleges. That was when I realized that I was just one of tens of thousands of students who was being targeted by colleges. I really wasn't special, just another name in a computer. I decided on four colleges that I was especially interested in, and then decided to have a little fun with the rest. No longer did I look at what majors a school offered, but what bonuses the school was willing to give. For example, an Ivy League school didn't stand a chance against Loyola Marymount, because Loyola offered a really cool pen if you sent a reply card. I wasn't interested in Embry Riddle, but the "do-it-yourself" pyramid that they sent me was one of the highlights of the college search. You can imagine my surprise when I received a video carton from Everett College, one that contained no video. Then were the much-less interesting viewbooks that the colleges sent. These were the schools' pathetic attempts to convince you that they deserved your $100,000- plus, and the next four years of your life. Of course, these books were trying to convince you that you can get the full idea of the school from a book received through the mail. One example of a school's statement would be "Mr. ____, we understand that you are interested in our school. While other colleges may try to change your mind with pretty pictures, we have sent along this viewbook to help you make your own decision." This is the point where I realized that there was no way they could know if I was interested in their college, and that the viewbook they sent me was, hey, more "pretty pictures." This is when I realized that it wasn't such a great thing getting all of that college mail. After I had made my choices, the rest was just an annoyance. I had gone from the kid who would open Publisher's Clearinghouse letters, just to say I received mail, to not even caring what I got.

Reply to Jean Paul: yes, normally and apparently in this case one was used. There are pictures posted that reveal what apoear to be ledges below the arch upon which an arch support stricture may have
beautiful, Chinese are great.
Don't look down.
Can someone explain to me as to how they managed to build the arch under the bridge? Normally, when you build an arch like this one you need a temporary arch support, don't you?

"Where does the wind blow from when you stand at the North Pole? From the South!" Our expedition to the Arctic now has first-hand experience of this since the beginning of April. In the early morning hours, reckoned by our Finnish watches, the sun shone in a clear sky and it was almost 30 degrees below zero. The flat, bright ice field around us was immense. Our biggest surprise was the thickness of the sea ice. Almost all of us presumed that the long-term ice would be very thick, but drilli...
