3 investments for an era of low interest rates
BOSTON The Federal Reserve is making it increasingly hard for investors to earn anything, unless they're willing to accept plenty of risk. Ben Bernanke and his Fed are playing the role of adviser, encouraging Americans to get a little more adventurous by shifting savings out of low-yielding bonds and putting it to work in stocks.
The latest nudge came last week when the Fed said it doesn't expect to raise its benchmark rate until late 2014, at the earliest, because the economic recovery remains fragile. Rates have been near zero since December 2008. The latest extension means borrowers can expect another three years of low-cost loans and mortgages.
However, it's more bad news for savers and retirees depending on investment income, particularly when there's 3 percent inflation. Investors who value earning stable returns from Treasury bonds end up with little more than satisfaction that they're faring better than people keeping money in traditional savings accounts.
Consider that investors committing to lock up their money for a full decade were only being paid 1.8 percent for buying U.S. Treasurys this week. And yields have turned negative for investors trading 10-year Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. On Wednesday, the yield was negative 0.28 percent. In essence, investors are willing to pay Uncle Sam to borrow their dollars for 10 years, because the opportunity to minimize losses is attractive compared with other options.
That may be patriotic if the government puts that borrowed cash to work to stimulate the economy. But it's no way to invest for your future.
"I don't know why people would pay the U.S. government to borrow their money, unless they're very, very pessimistic," says Robert Horrocks, chief investment officer and a portfolio manager with the Matthews Asia mutual funds.
Returns are even smaller for money-market funds, safe harbors where investors can park their cash until they're ready to put it back into the market. Money fund returns are closely tied to interest rates, and their returns have been barely above zero for three years. They're now averaging 0.02 percent - call it nothing. Don't expect improvement until the Fed pushes rates back up.
Here's a look at three relatively low-risk alternatives to generate some income in a low interest rate environment:
1. Dividend stocks
Dick Bristol, a 74-year-old retired Air Force major from Biloxi, Miss., counts on dividend-paying stocks for his retirement security. His investment portfolio is nearly 100 percent in stocks that make regular payouts, and he and his wife count on a few hundred dollars of dividends coming in each month.
Of course, dividend-paying stocks are not immune from market drops. And companies often cut dividends when the economy skids. But Bristol is convinced the potential returns are worth the risks. In August, he invested in Dynex Capital, a real estate investment trust. The stock has since risen 8 percent and has a high dividend yield of 12 percent. That's the amount of the dividend paid divided by the share price.
"Keep in mind that if you invest in something that's earning 1 to 2 percent, you're losing out to the 3 inflation we've got now," Bristol says. "Over the long run, nothing pays like dividend stocks."
2. High-yield bonds
These bonds are issued by companies with credit problems. High-yield investors expect higher returns because there's a greater risk of default than with companies possessing investment-grade ratings. And they've gotten them recently. Mutual funds specializing in high-yield bonds have produced an average annualized return of 19 percent over the last 3-years.
Anne Lester, lead manager of JPMorgan Income Builder (JNBAX), has recently been adding to the fund's holdings in high-yield bonds. They now make up 44 percent of a portfolio that also is invested in stocks. Corporate default rates remain low and high-yields are attractively priced compared with Treasurys and other bonds, Lester says.

Apologies if this is too naive or obvious but after a fair bit of searching around, I'm not 100% sure that I understand the fortran/unix interface. My uncertainty is regarding the nature of .src, .f, then .o, and .out files that you run into when compiling fortran programs into a unix executable. It's tough to google file extensions like this. But if you could tell me if I've got this straight, I'd really appreciate it!
.src is the source file which contains the meaty fortran code
.f is the 'host-language specific include file' that tells your fortran compiler a little bit about the source code. It's sometimes interactive.
--- After you've obtained .o or .out files, can throw away the .src and .f files, yeah?
.o is the binary object file that results from compiling but not linking the fortran .f and .src files. It contains the same meat but now converted into machine-specific instructions? .out is the linked object file(s) which is executable and remains dependent on the .o file(s) and is machine-specific. The .out file extension is not really needed and is often omitted?
I think that covers it. Thanks for any corrects or further descriptions.

In an unprecedented move, a Parliamentary panel has rejected the bill to set up an overarching regulator for India's health sector and asked the Health Ministry to draft a new legislation that addresses the apprehensions raised by states and other stakeholders.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare has objected to the fact that the proposed regulator in the bill neither provides any representation to state governments despite health being a state subject nor does it provide for elections to appoint members of the regulator.
The Committee has also asked the Health Ministry to include medical research (currently covered by Higher Education and Research Bill 2011 of the HRD Ministry) under the proposed medical regulator.
"The Bill cannot be recommended in the present form. We recommend to the Ministry to withdraw the Bill and bring forward a fresh bill after sufficiently addressing all the views and concerns expressed by stakeholders," the panel said
in its report on the 'National Commission for Human Resources for Health Bill 2011' (NCHRH Bill).
The NCHRH Bill, introduced in Rajya Sabha on December 22 last year, was forwarded to the panel for consideration.
The Bill rejected by the Committee seeks to dissolve the four existing health regulators ¿- the Medical Council of India, the Dental Council of India, the Pharmacy Council of India and the Nursing Council of India -- by repealing the parent Acts under which these bodies were set up.
The idea behind the Bill is to create an overarching National Commission for Human Resources for Health which would then have all the power to approve new medical institutions and courses.
Under the Bill, the proposed Commission suggested of setting up three constituent bodies -- the National Board of Health Education, the National Evaluation and Assessment Committee and the National Councils like the MCI, the DCI and the PCI.
The Parliamentary Committee, however, has taken note of the concerns expressed by representatives of the existing regulating councils who claimed their role under the new law had been relegated to merely maintenance of medical registers.
"We note the concerns expressed by Councils that their autonomy and democratic setup have been taken over under the bill. We feel these apprehensions need to be appropriately addressed by the government. Also the concern that there is no element of election in the composition of the commission and its constituents also needs to be addressed. This part has been objected to by the states also,"

Why is this disease called yaws?
The term yaws is thought to be of Caribbean origin. In the language of the Carib Indian people, yaya is the word for "a sore."
Alternatively, the disease term yaws may have come from Africa where the word yaw may have meant "a berry." Because the lesions of yaws look like berries, the disease is also called frambesia (or frambesia tropica) from the French framboise, meaning "raspberry." Other older names for yaws include granuloma tropicum, polypapilloma tropicum, and thymiosis.

BHUBANESWAR: Justice MB Shah commission which is probing into the illegal mining activities in the country, including Odisha, has completed its third phase of inquiry on Sunday. The commission is expected to file its report in two to three months. The Commission is likely to revisit the state if further probe is required.
The three visits by the Commission to the state and its on-the-spot inquiry in Joda, Koida and Barbil mining circles have fuelled speculation that the Commission has got some whiff of large-scale mining irregularities in Odisha and might make a strong recommendation.

Just when fans thought it might be over, more fuel has been added to the Chris Brown and Drake beef.
After the bottle-throwing-ballistics from last summer at a New York City nightclub resulted in lawsuits and a criminal investigation, Brown and Drizzy's relationship has been, obviously, strained.
The lastest incident in the beef is a jab courtesy of Brown on the remix to Young Jeezy's "R.I.P.," where the singer references Drake's single "Started From the Bottom."
"Dearly departed, I bought a plane I departed/ And if you started from the bottom, go on and come out the closet," spit Brown, the sometimes-rapper.
The lines come just days after Brown claimed in an interview that he was looking past the beef.

Dear Grandson,
Your comments have betrayed your anxiety about faith. You have been confused by information coming at you from various sources, words and actions of friends, and awareness of the world in which you live. This is entirely normal, and you should not feel alone. Not all are as forthcoming about their uncertainties as you, and that's why you feel different.
The search for certainty and meaning of existence has occupied man's intellect for millennia. Many have concluded that they have received insight or deduced transcendent truth, and have made it their life's goal to share their revelations with the rest of us. Some used gentle persuasion, others logic, some coercion and fear, while others elected an ascetic lifestyle and/or personal charisma to win followers. Their motivations have varied as widely as their methods. Some gained peace and wanted to share their bliss. Others (judging by their tone and demeanor) have become bitter, and think that vexing others is the way to please God. Some want to justify an institution. Some believe they can placate a vengeful deity and gain preferment for themselves. Some want to get rich. Others crave power. Some are simply cruel and wish to inflict misery on others. Hence, our world has a multitude of competing religious doctrines and practices. No wonder you are confused.
You are fortunate, beloved grandson, to live in a time and place where you are free to consider the work of those gone before, and to choose your own path to faith. For most of human history, people were coerced into observance of the dominant rites. The right to choose is our legacy as Americans.
At this point in your life, however, the right to choose seems less important to you than your desire for certainty. You have been told some things that your intellect finds improbable, and some of your peers have solemnly assured you that they have found God, and you feel that you have been left out. I assure you, you are not the first to feel this way.
For ages, perceptive and intelligent men have asked the same questions and sought the same assurances that you now seek. Some are willing to accept the first plausible explanation presented, elect to believe it, and cease to wonder. They seem very contented, and some of them have lifestyles to be admired. You, like your grandfather, have a skeptic's bent – you need to know more.
I can't tell you what you must believe and do – that is God's prerogative. Those more intelligent, studious, and spiritual than I have spent their lives seeking certainty, and some never found it, viz.: Mother Teresa, John Calvin, and the Apostle Paul. Others (and their name is Legion here in our Southland) are absolutely and unequivocally assured and harbor no doubt whatever that they have found The Way. As you learn the language and understand the phrase "whistling past the graveyard," you will understand your young friends' vociferous assertions belie their anxieties. Many are as confused as you, but not as forthright. After all, churches are built on the rock of dogma. I've never yet seen "I could be wrong" engraved on an altar table.
So, dear one, go on with your quest in your indomitable fashion. Listen and evaluate without snap judgments or hasty decisions. As your skills develop, read. Ask your Dad and Mom about the things that trouble you. They can share what they have learned, and point you toward helpful material and toward people whose judgment and sincerity they trust. Read your Bible, sure, but don't try to read it straight through and don't expect to understand it all at once. It is the world's greatest collection of literature, and all great literature requires diligent study to grasp its meaning. It is a group effort by a diverse group whose life and work spanned many centuries. They had different understandings of the nature of God, so you can expect inconsistencies, even contradictions, but that's all right.
It's the American Way to want it all, now!
It is God's way to learn precept upon precept. "Be still, and know…" the ancient sage advised. And, "Go not with an angry man…" People who show anger and impatience are trying to convince themselves, not you – ignore them. Your life is the workshop in which God will forge His will.
I love you, and so does God.

A Tallahassee woman vanished without a trace five years ago today (February 3, 2006) and there is still no sign of Ali Gilmore and no explanation of what happened to her.
Her disappearance still baffles family and friends and police admit the trail of tips and clues has gone cold.
It was a whodunnit then and a whodunnit now. Ali Gilmore disappeared from her home five years ago today.
"This is pretty surprising, shocking for us."
That was friend and neighbor Scot Poppell in February 2006. He still lives right around the corner.
"She was one of the reasons why it was a nice neighborhood. She was such a nice person and it's said in five years, we haven't heard anything," Poppell said.
"I'm not really too optomistic at five years to find out more. I mean, that would be one of those awesome stories that you hear about if you do," he said.
Gilmore - who was 30 and pregnant when she disappeared - was reported missing when she failed to show up for work. Her home showed no signs of break in or struggle, her purse untouched, her car still in the driveway. And no one ever heard from her again.
"I feel like she's no longer with us and God forgive me if I am wrong," said Ali Gilmore's mother Laurvetta McLawrence from her home in West Palm Beach.
Gilmore's mother still has a missing sign in her front yard and still waits for that phone call.
"I'm ill and I just pray and ask God to let me be around for some kind of closure," McLawrence said.
Despite the fingerprinting, interviewing and searching, police have never been able to find Gilmore, dead or alive.
"We have names of people that we have looked very closely at, but to say that we have a person that we could provide to the public as a suspect? Not at this time," TPD Spokesman David McCranie said.
Gilmore's mother is convinced someone in Tallahassee knows something. It's okay to remain anonymous, she says, but not silent.
You can hear more of our interview with Ali Gilmore's mother later this month in a special report called "The Waiting" which profiles families in unsolved crimes. That's coming up February 20th and 21st.
If you have information that could help solve this case ... call Tallahassee Police or Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS

Two-toned chimera cat with multi-colored face is an internet sensation
She looks like something out of a story book, but she's a real-life pet!
Venus the cat has been getting even more attention after the internet saw her gorgeous face a few years ago.
And off course the internet community loves everything cats, but this one is extra special. See for yourself:
According to Good Morning America, where she was featured live Tuesday morning, this unique feline was found in 2009 as a stray on a farm.
She was born with a two-toned face, so nothing was done with her to make her look this way.
How does it happen?
Venus is known as a "chimera cat," meaning that they are born from two genetically different cells, or two merging fertilized eggs.
When this happens, the organism can end up with two different blood types, different sexual organs or they can simply look like two separate individuals in one- which is the case for Venus.
The term "chimera" came from a Greek term used long ago describing a monster made of different animal parts, somewhat like a centaur, according to an article titled "Which Half is My Mommy?"
Still some are hesitant to believe that Venus is a true chimera cat. Instead, she could simply have differing chromosomes and genetic mutations, as National Geographic states.
Regardless of what makes Venus so unique and beautiful, over 200,000 people have subscribed to her Facebook page to keep up with the cat.
If we ever did 'Cat of the week', Venus the two-toned Chimera would be this week's winner: http://t.co/UOfNvfX3xL pic.twitter.com/PaTfLXxMdT— Yahoo UK News (@YahooNewsUK) July 8, 2014

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
1. My ex-husband fraudulently filed for divorce and child support in 1998, in WA state (where me and my daughter were NOT residing in at the time - we moved in 1996). Thus, WA state is now the tribunal state.
If one spouse lives in-state, then he can initiate a divorce and related actions (e.g. custody, visitation, child support) in that state. However, if the child has not been in the state for six months or more and is not the child's home state, the court will lack jurisdiction on issues concerning the child. Usually this occurs subject to the filing of something by the other spouse to alert the the court of a problem, such as an exception for lack of jurisdiction. I am surprised that your attorney did not raise that issue, or that the court didn't take it up on its own after you advised the judge of it.
2. In 2009 (9 years later), after trying to get him to pay some of our daughter's orthodontist/oral surgery bill, I tried to open a case in my home state but at the last minute, he filed bogus contempt charges against me claiming I would not allow visitation with his daughter (of course he lied about this as well, which I did prove in court and have evidence to support), and this stopped the modification of the child support order where I live and the order was modified in WA state in October 2009. My child support payments were finally increased but when I received the order in the mail, I realized that the court changed the federal exemption paragraph, allowing my ex-husband to claim our daughter in all subsequent tax years. ...he filed contempt charges against me in WA state for not signing and giving him Form 8332. The order never stipulated for me to sign and send him Form 8332 and did not stipulate that the mother could not claim daughter.
Contempt is ordinarily defined as the intentional or willful violation of a court order. Therefore, the order will govern whether or not there has been a violation to even analyze. If the final, enforceable order states that the father is to claim the child on the taxes, then it might arguably be contempt for the mother to interfere with that, such as by refusing to sign a form 8332. A question might be raised, however, as to whether he asked that you sign it timely, why he didn't simply use the order alone (because sometimes it can even in the absence of an 8332), or why he didn't file something sooner. Also, because a violation has to be intentional in order to be deemed contempt, he would likely have to show some ill will on your part in refusing to sign or an attempt to defy the order. His success would depend on the weight of evidence he is able to present, if any.
3. I was never served personally, violating my right to due process, WA state lacks jurisdiction, my ADA rights were also violated - the court in WA is completely ignoring state and US laws, as well as case histories. Since the order was terminated in May of 2012 does WA state still have jurisdiction? Also, my home state was suppose to be enforcing the child support order - which is what he was basically asking the court to do by way of contempt - he was not asking for a modification, shouldn't he have contacted my home state about this issue?
You stated earlier that you proved something in court - by appearing, you may have waived service. It is impossible though for us to really assess the validity of that claim, though, absent documentation. The answer to the question of whether due process has been violated is best answered then by a local attorney who can review the paperwork. Perhaps legal aid, who often review information such as this at no cost, is an option. Regarding jurisdiction, you're right, the court should not have been establishing child support for a child that was not living there and had not been there for years. The time to appeal, however, has likely passed. And lastly, regarding termination of the case, a motion for contempt can be filed anywhere the party making the claim lives, he need only register the out of state order in his home state and ensure the other party is properly served with notice of the proceeding. A motion for contempt is not necessarily the same as a motion to enforce.
4. We had a verbal agreement in place, he purposely waited until I couldn't modify the order as it was expired, other than child support monies due or arrearages, I could not find one law that applies to contempt for me claiming my daughter on my federal income taxes. The court has continued without my presence and I just received paperwork from the last hearing, it orders me to correct my taxes for 2009-2012, send him Forms 8332, and pay his tax bill from 2010 as he filed his income taxes fraudulently and now owes the IRS some of his refund back. Any suggestions? Does he even have a case at this point?
If there is a hearing, were you served with notice, and if so did you make an appearance? You say that you haven't been legally served, but there are differing means of service and an important consideration would be how you found out about the proceeding in the first place. The court hearings can go on without you, if you were served, so it is important to notify the court if you have not - or, if you have, make your position known, such as by responding to his pleadings in the form of an answer and demands of your own. If you cannot appear in person, you can request to appear by phone. But by not appearing, you waive rights each time and could continue to lose more and more ground. If you apply with your local legal aid office, you may be able to get a referral in that state and have that person appear on your behalf and raise the issues you have here in court.
5. Can I open a law suit for violation of my civil rights (there is much more involved then I can go into at this moment)? Thanks!!
If you believe your rights have been violated, you certainly can file suit, however that is again something we cannot say for certain, because we are not familiar with the particulars of the case and have not seen all of the paperwork that would evidence the complaint. Because civil rights suits are often taken on contingency, meaning no up front fee, you should not have a problem contacting a local attorney about taking the case if she or he finds merit in what you produce for and explain to them.
1. if the child has not been in the state for six months or more and is not the child's home state, the court will lack jurisdiction on issues concerning the child. Usually this occurs subject to the filing of something by the other spouse to alert the the court of a problem, such as an exception for lack of jurisdiction. I am surprised that your attorney did not raise that issue, or that the court didn't take it up on its own after you advised the judge of it.
I completely understand this now, as I have read every WA state law pertaining to family law. I have no idea why my attorney from 2000 did not broach this subject (lack of jurisdiction), maybe it had something to do with the amount of work. I've read a lot on US case law and history pertaining to jurisdiction. From what I can tell you can challenge jurisdiction at any time. Is it too late for me to go back to 1999 and challenge WA state's jurisdiction from that point? And yes, I do have all the supporting documentation.
2. A question might be raised, however, as to whether he asked that you sign it timely, why he didn't simply use the order alone (because sometimes it can even in the absence of an 8332), or why he didn't file something sooner. Also, because a violation has to be intentional in order to be deemed contempt, he would likely have to show some ill will on your part in refusing to sign or an attempt to defy the order.
He did try to use the order after he received notice from the IRS in 12/2011 telling him he could not claim our daughter as she did not qualify. The order was vague and ambiguous. According to the IRS (who I spoke with), the order must list the child's social security number (which it did not), it must be signed by the custodial parent (which it wasn't), and the order must mandate Form 8332 and specifically state that the mother shall not claim child on taxes. As far as tax court, I would win hands down. The question is whether 3 years after the order was implemented and 5 months after it terminated would be considered timely? He purposely waited so I could not modify the order and he submitted no proof to the court that I refused to sign Form 8332 because he never asked me. The court now wants me to sign forms, after the fact, but during this time frame he paid less than 50% of my daughter's expenses; I paid all of her vocational school/medical/dental expenses, so now I am refusing to sign forms. What can the court in WA state legally do to me?
3. If there is a hearing, were you served with notice, and if so did you make an appearance? You say that you haven't been legally served, but there are differing means of service and an important consideration would be how you found out about the proceeding in the first place.
According to WA state laws, I had to be served in person, not by regular mail - this has not occurred. The first few hearings, he was a nonappear and the hearing was continued. I was never notified about any continuances (not by mail or anything). The court there is extremely corrupt, and unfortunately, his wife is a paralegal and worked for the court for a few years and has many friends there. I know you don't have the documentation but assuming everything I have told you is based on facts (which it is, as I have all the evidence), would they have jurisdiction even though I appeared in court to tell them about my violation of due process (also, an out-of-state affidavit was never filed, which was required) and their lack of jurisdiction? I thought a court had to first determine whether or not they have jurisdiction before hearing a case?
Please note that I actually did try hiring an attorney in WA state but he took me for all my money as he misrepresented me and I later found out he had a conflict of interest as he had worked with the Pro Tem Commissioner. I could not hire an attorney in my state because they lacked jurisdiction. On the matter of my civil rights being violated, which they were on so many levels, can I hire an attorney in my state or does it have to be in WA state?

by angeline lim bee bee
A sight to behold: The mesmerising and beautiful rice terraces of Pugao, China.
On her trip to Yunnan province in China, a reader and her friends were mesmerised by 'man-made' nature.
WE feasted our eyes on rows and rows of "rice terraces" when the shroud finally lifted on the third day of our stay in this newly appointed Unesco World Heritage site. The Hani tribe in Yuan Yang, Yunnan province, south China, comprises skilled farmers.
These terraces were crafted over approximately 1,500 years, transforming these mountain slopes into magnificent padi terraces, with water glistening under the sun's rays and various colours, especially blue, reflected on the surface of the water. A form of red algae grows on the water, further enhancing the colour mystique.
My friends and I started our journey from Hanoi, Vietnam, in a sleeper train to Lao Chai, the town bordering Hekou, China. Comfortably enough, we slept in a quad cabin. A friend, who had been in the electrical business for aeons, had us guffawing at his jokes about his electrical mishaps.
We soon drifted into dreamland. The next morning, we were awakened by a knock on the door – a wake-up call.
We reached Lao Chai in the early morning and after a signature Vietnamese breakfast of soupy rice noodles with either beef of chicken, we crossed over to Hekou.
From there, it was another four hours' journey by bus, with occasional toilet breaks and a surprisingly sumptuous lunch before reaching our final destination – the village of Pugao (the entry sign read, "Pugao Laozhai Folk Village").
By this time, it was pitch black. Fatigued from the bus journey, we hoisted our backpacks and walked for about 20 minutes to reach our accommodation; we would stay there for the next three nights. This place is equipped with mobile and WiFi connections.
The food served consisted of simple Chinese dishes – broth or noodles for breakfast; a variety of vegetable dishes with pork for lunch and dinner.
The men in our group were mainly carnivorous and they were naturally not too pleased with the fare!
After dinner, we re-collected the day's journey and retired to our beds with electrical blankets to keep us warm. Temperatures hovered around 5°C at night, in late November.
The next morning, we visited a market which sold all the usual stuff. However, a scene of dentists at work and a client actually having a tooth extracted proved to be memorable!
I will not divulge the details of how exquisite the rice terraces appeared at different times of the day.
Avid photographers can tell you that lighting is key to a winning photo. Those countless pictures in the "Web of professional shots" easily overshadowed this writer's amateurish efforts.
On my third and final day there, when the skies opened up, I stayed outside my room which had a nice verandah overlooking those magnificent terraces. I spotted village children frolicking in the mud or just having fun. Some of them wore elaborate ethnic headgear showcasing the intricate workmanship of the women folk.
These children were not shy with strangers and were more than willing to smile or pose for the camera. But then again, candid shots are better and, from the verandah, I zoomed in to capture children tailing the adult visitors on the bund of these terraces, giggling to a song or two, or just going about their daily chores.
On departure day, we were treated to a hearty breakfast of yam broth and a platter of plain and banana pancakes.
With heavy hearts, we bade farewell to this wondrous place. I would like to make a return trip near the harvest season to capture a different scene and colours; yellow would be the dominant colour when the padi ripens.
In our hectic city lives, perhaps a dose of Yuan Yang in different seasons will teach us a thing or two about true human prowess – working with the might of bare hands and basic tools to create terraces in mountain slopes and feeding many mouths in the process.

This talk describes research carried out at Microsoft Bing, regarding user behavior when interacting with search engines, and more generally, browsing the Web. Analysis is based on proprietary large-scale interaction log user data collected in mid 2009. A new action-topic task breakdown of user activity is presented, and compared to those of Broder 2002 and Russell et al 2009. Tasks are characterized by popularity, pivoted on search-specific and general Web activity. The Compare task is explored in more detail, and we detail a sub-task breakdown. Key takeaways about user behavior include: (1) information needs manifest as user tasks which often require multiple queries; (2) such tasks are complex, and may involve sub-tasks; (3) significant time is dedicated to these tasks; (4) user modeling and user task modeling is critical to true understanding of information interaction.

Our broad range of services can cover all of your driveway maintenance needs:
- driveway sealing & conditioning
- crack filling & asphalt patching
- custom-built ramps or lips
Our quality of work is kept at a very high standard to ensure the call back for any and all of your future needs.
The Patch and Seal team is pleased to now offer an expanded array of asphalt-related services:
- new asphalt applications
- asphalt line painting
- parking lot sweeping
When beginning any driveway maintenance job, we always start with a thorough cleaning of the work area with our power broom, high pressure gas powered back pack blower and trimmer. If you are looking specifically for driveway sealing, we go the extra mile to tape off your interlock stones and board off your grass with our specially designed ridged and flexible boards to ensure that there is no overspray in unwanted areas.
Lesser quality products may darken the appearance of your driveway, but they don't restore the asphalt's original moisture and flexibility. Any application that simply coats your driveway with a layer of tar or paint causes the asphalt underneath to become hot and mushy, resulting in ruts and potholes. Our process restores your driveway's strength, durability and appearance while prolonging its life.
Our sealer is 100% hot liquid asphalt, it is the same product used to make pavement but without the sand and rocks. We apply it at high pressure to ensure maximum penetration. We are also equipped to fix all types of cracks - and have three methods to do so. We will always use the best product for your particular situation.
If a ramp, lip or driveway patch is what you require, we use an HL2 mix from Lafarge and use a gas powered compacter. This equipment is made specifically for compacting asphalt along with our hand stamper that is used for perfecting corners. We use only the best hot asphalt on the market for all of our ramps, lips and patches that are custom built to the customer's specifications and satisfaction.

So! That.
But perhaps my description gives the impression that Elizabeth was just the kind of devoted wife who went along with her husband's hobbies, the way someone might take up golf or video games to please their spouse. She was not. That would be incorrect. She was not just killing serving girls because her husband was hovering over her whispering "kill all the virgins!" like some approximation of a mad king in every medieval drama you've ever seen. In fact, it was only after her husband's death that Elizabeth's reign of terror began in earnest.
She moved from her estate to Vienna, where she was quickly taken up by society. She was very popular. She began having a lesbian affair with a woman named Anna Darvula. Periodically, scholars try to make a case for Elizabeth's crimes being blown out of proportion because she was a lesbian and an independent woman. Scholars make cases like that. To which we say: no. You still don't get to kill people. Mary Tyler Moore did not run around tying her co-workers to the desks and letting bugs eat them.
In any case, Anna was said to be a witch and was known for her sadistic tendencies. So, that sounds like another good match.
But all was not well! Elizabeth was concerned about her looks. At 44 she no longer considered herself to be as beautiful as she once was. So, legend has it, one day, as she was beating a servant girl to death with a comb, some of the blood splattered onto Elizabeth's face. Elizabeth noted that it seemed to diminish her own signs of aging.
People think this is a vampire thing, but, good god, of course it did. She was essentially using liquid cheek stain. So, yes, she figured out that blush makes you look rosy and healthy.
However, by that point, Elizabeth had almost exhausted her supply of servant girls. None of the village girls would come to work for her because they'd heard rumors of the killing. So Elizabeth returned to her manor and offered to take in daughters of lesser nobility to teach them "social graces." Like a charm school. Except there would be no teaching, only killing.
It is around this time that she is rumored to have begun bathing in the blood of virgins. It's certainly the most famous rumor about Bathory, though there are few eye witness accounts of this. Do you want to know some of the atrocities people did witness?

It's been said that you can create a C++ WinRT component that you can consume in C#. I have a simple test project - a C# XAML app, and a C++ project using just the basic WinRT Component project template. When I try to add a project reference in the C# XAML project, it says it cannot add the reference (not sure why). I can build the native WinRT component, and a .winmd file is generated, and I can add a reference to this .winmd file manually using the browse button in the add reference dialog. This allows me to access the methods in the native library, but when I build, it says it is using Platform.IDisposable, but that type is defined in an assembly that isn't referenced. I haven't seen any of the sessions demonstrate this scenario.
Found the answer! Looks like it's a glitch, but it has a work-around: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winappswithnativecode/thread/1900bd21-8693-4127-800a-f35cfd5daac2
Basically, first you clean the WinRT component project, then you add the reference, then add a reference manually to platform.winmd located in \VC\bin then you should be good to go.
The C++ WinRT assembly you are referencing probably uses objects that are implementing the IDisposable interface so you also have to reference the C++ assembly containing the interface.
So I run into similar issues, after adding a reference to Microsoft.VCLibs, i wasn't able to deploy. However I noticed, that by default WinRT component is compiled to x86 code whereas the C# Metro style app targets ANY cpu, and this was a root cause in my case. Switching C# app to x86 resolved the problem.

The Federal Communications Commission this week issued a notice of inquiry seeking public comment on a proposed change to how it measures high-speed Internet and to ask if the agency should change the low end threshold. Currently the FCC defines broadband as 4 Mbps download speed and 1 Mbps upload speed. Under the new proposal it wants to up that number to 10 Mbps or higher for a service to qualify as broadband.
"As more people adopt faster broadband speeds, we are asking if all consumers, even in the most rural regions, should have greater access to better broadband," FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said in a statement.
In the notice, the FCC also said that it is seeking input on other broadband related issues such as when it can consider mobile services as a "functional equivalent" for fixed broadband and how it should address broadband availability in areas where multiple ISPs operate but no service meets the broadband benchmark on its own.
The FCC also wants feedback on when it should measure speeds – during hours of regular use or peak usage, and if it should look at the impact of data caps.
The FCC will collect comments on the topic for 45 days as it prepares a new Broadband Progress Report.

Thunder's Kevin Durant says Bulls' Derrick Rose will be 'stronger and better'
Add the three-time reigning NBA scoring champ among those not counting out Chicago star Derrick Rose.
Kevin Durant said the Bulls point guard, who mangled his knee in last year's playoffs, will soon be back and better than ever.
"I know he's going to get back stronger and better," said Durant before the Thunder played the Bulls in Chicago on Tuesday night. "I've been praying for him, of course. And I've been watching the (workout) videos online, so I'm sure he's going to have a really, really nice comeback here for the Bulls and be at full strength."
Durant said he expects Rose to benefit from a stringent workout regimen.
"I think he'll be better," Durant said. "With all that weight training he's doing, strengthening his body and his core, he's doing everything he needs to do."
Thunder guard Eric Maynor, who suffered through a similar knee injury last season, said his best piece of advice to Rose would be to remain patient and not rush back.
"It's going to be good days, it's going to be bad days," Maynor said. "But you just got to keep working. Work throughout all of it."
Chicago native DeAndre Liggins played inside the United Center for the first time Tuesday against the Bulls.
The third-year guard had been to the United Center during his two seasons with Orlando but didn't log minutes.
"It's going to be exciting to play in front of my family," said Liggins, who estimated 10 relatives were in attendance, before the game.
Liggins spent time Monday night with his parents, sister and grandmother and got what he called "a home-cooked meal."
Asked if it ever gets old returning to Chicago, Liggins said "Not at all, because it's not too many times I'll be able to come back home. This is one of the times. We get to come back Nov. 8 — if I'm still here."
After a two-year stint with the Thunder, center Nazr Mohammed joined Chicago to replace Omer Asik as the Bulls' backup center.
So far, Mohammed has impressed, and after averaging 8.4 points and 6.8 rebounds through five preseason games, both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times dedicated articles on Tuesday to the former Thunder center. The Tribune's headline read "Lots in reserve."
"He was a big part of our success," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "That guy is a true professional. He works every day. I've been around players that work when the light is on. But he's always working and always putting in extra time. … He's somebody that you want your young players to be around. And he can still play. He had some good games for us."
Chicago was named by 40 percent of NBA general managers to be the league's best defensive team, according to NBA.com's annual poll of the top executives from every team.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, though, couldn't care less.
"Meaningless," he said when asked about earning top billing.
Durant and Russell Westbrook got the night off Tuesday. Brooks said both will play Wednesday against Dallas in Wichita, Kan. … James Harden started at shooting guard, and Thabo Sefolosha started at small forward in place of Durant. Maynor replaced Westbrook. … Hasheem Thabeet played the primary minutes as the backup center against the Bulls and scored six points with 10 rebounds. … Cole Aldrich, Nick Collison, Daequan Cook, Daniel Orton and Hollis Thompson did not play against the Bulls.

Mosquitoes can turn a pleasant summer barbecue into a somewhat miserable experience. They're also responsible for spreading malaria to 250 million people around the world each year.
Common mosquito repellants include sprays, some of which contain chemicals such as DEET , and bed nets that keep the insects at bay.
There are also mosquito traps. One such device is the Mega-Catch Trap, which comes in three models selling online for $84 to $658. According to the manufacturer, these traps act as decoys, in a sense. They send out signals that mosquitoes associate with blood-pumping humans, which attracts these insects to the trap where they die.
But sprays and traps don't completely eliminate the problem.
Intellectual Ventures, a company based in Bellevue, Wash., that invents and invests in inventions, has come up with another solution.
"Let's try to kill it with consumer electronics," said former chief technology officer at Microsoft, Nathan Myhrvold, at a TED talk held in May 2010. Using technologies found in off-the-shelf electronics, such as a Blu-ray player, a laser printer and a digital camera, Myhrvold and his team have done just that.
Their high-tech solution could create a pseudo-fence around your yard, killing mosquitoes as they attempted to pay a visit to your barbecue, according to Myhrvold. The system is made with two types of lasers. The first laser is non-lethal to mosquitoes and is used to detect the wing beat frequency of the insect an insect "fingerprint" of sorts. If the laser detects a frequency that matches that of a female mosquito, the second laser, which is lethal to mosquitoes, will zap the bug. (Mosquitoes need human blood only to produce eggs, so only female mosquitoes bite.)
While this mosquito-zapping fence isn't for sale yet, according to missile defense expert Jordin Kare, you can build your own system for a few thousand dollars. Kare explains the DIY method in the May issue of IEEE Spectrum.

Former appointed Sen. George LeMieux defended and reiterated his character attacks against his main GOP Senate primary rival, Rep. Connie Mack, during an appearance this morning on MSNBC.
"If Connie Mack is the nominee, I don't think he can beat Bill Nelson. It'll be a race about character. Connie Mack can't win a character contest with Bill Nelson," LeMieux told host Chuck Todd.
LeMieux has called Mack, son of a popular former Florida Senator with the same name, a "Half Mack" and repeatedly criticized the younger Mack's past fistfights, financial woes and residency questions. Todd asked LeMieux if he regretted the personal nature of his attacks on Mack and if he thought they would hurt the GOP if Mack becomes the nominee.
"He's trying to run a campaign where people will mistake him for his father. And we can't make that mistake," LeMieux said. "If he is the nominee we will lose."

One of my favorite responsibilities at Brooklyn College is teaching a two-term course surveying Western theater history (ancient Greece to the present) for aspiring artists and arts administrators.

The Metropolitan King County Council has approved a new traffic infraction — inattentive driving — with fines that could bring in about $75,000 next year.
You know the problem on Seattle-area streets. A green light means you go as soon as the driver in front of you is done texting.
To fight this, and other forms of dangerous cluelessness, the Metropolitan King County Council has approved a new infraction: inattentive driving.
Did we mention the infraction, imposed as part of the county's 2013 budget, also would raise money for the county?
In what county officials call a conservative estimate, they predict the new charge — at $124 per infraction, the same as Seattle and Bellevue charge — would bring in about $75,000 next year.
- Seattle-area home prices set record; 2nd-fastest rising in nation
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Florida man runs over couple on motorcycle during road-rage incident
- The best deli in Seattle that you've probably never heard of
- South Florida officers find 2 alligators eating human body
Most Read Stories
That's small change in a 2013 general-fund budget of $684 million. But as the council has noted, distracted driving resulted in 122 deaths in King County between 2004 and 2008. And, police have reported that incidents of distracted driving are increasing.
The council unanimously approved the new infraction Monday, making it a secondary offense, meaning police officers can't use it as the primary reason for pulling a driver over. An officer would have to have some other cause to stop the driver.
It would become effective next year, with the 2013 budget. According to a council report, inattentive driving includes talking, eating, putting on makeup and attending to children. Using cellphones and other electronics also are considered distractions.
And unlike the more severe offense of negligent driving in the second degree — driving that is negligent and endangers a person or property — inattentive driving would not impact your driving record for insurance purposes or result in suspending your license. It also wouldn't count as a violation that could later classify a driver as a habitual traffic offender.
"I like the fact it doesn't raise insurance rates or criminalize" the infraction, said Councilmember Kathy Lambert. She also noted the new charge doesn't flatly prohibit drivers from eating. "It's saying you can't do that to the point of inattention."
As a council analyst reported, the new charge is "essentially a plea bargain." It aims to get people to acknowledge they weren't driving safely while a more severe charge, such as negligent driving, may not be warranted.
And the new charges come with a side benefit. All revenues collected as a result stay with the county, unlike the state "use of a cellphone" violation, which requires the county to split infraction fees with the state.
In proposing the new charge, county Executive Dow Constantine wrote it "would provide the Prosecuting Attorney and defendants an additional tool to use in the resolution of contested infraction cases."

LONDON (ShareCast) - A fire has destroyed part of the infrastructure at the Tongon gold mine in Côte d'Ivoire owned by Randgold Resources, the company said Thursday.
The FTSE 100 business said the blaze ignited during a planned shutdown for repairs to the No. 1 cyclone feed pipe on December 24th. The fire then spread up into the No.1 cyclone cluster and moved to the No.2 cyclone cluster.
No injuries were reported after the fire was fully extinguished, but part of the mine was damaged including infrastructure of the mill circuits, cyclone clusters, flotation cells and blowers.
Chief executive Mark Bristow said they were still assessing the full extent of the damage. He said they had started on repairs including temporary relining of equipment while sourcing new parts.
"Tongon aims to have both milling circuits operational again within 10 days," the company said in a statement.
The mill classification circuits are expected to be fully operational within three to four weeks after receiving spare parts which are being sourced for air-freighting to the mine.
The flash flotation circuit repairs are dependent on the lead time for the replacement blowers, which are expected to arrive in a week.
Bristow said Randgold's flagship Loulo complex was on track to achieve its full year guidance of 500,000 ounces and Morila would comfortably exceed its guidance at 200,000 ounces.
However the fire has had a negative impact on a difficult year for Tongon. The revised annual production for the operation is now expected to be approximately 208,000 ounces.
The Chief Executive said he would issue a full update when Randgold reports its fourth quarter results in February.

East Nusa Tenggara's Nagekeo regency has so many interesting naturally beautiful places, most of which haven't been touched by tourism.
READ: Flores: A cowboy adventure
The Jakarta Post Travel picks three destinations that are ready to welcome tourists, yet still have that unspoiled charm.
The pristine white sands of Rii Taa Islet
Among the most sought after is the sandbar of Rii Taa Islet, or as the locals call it Pulau Pasir Putih.
When the tide is high, the islet is only about 20 meters square but during the low tide, it can be as vast as 2 hectares.
The islet can be reached by boat in under an hour from Maropokot harbor at Mbay, Nagekeo regency's capital.
Legend has it that the islet used to have fresh grass growing all over its surface hence the name given by the residents of Tonggurambang: Rii Taa, which literally means fresh grass.
Since 2010, the department of tourism and culture of Nagekeo regency has promoted the islet, resulting in increasing numbers of visitors.
Despite there being not much to do on the islet except for sunbathing on the pearly white sand, the magnificent view alone is more than enough to attract tourists to visit this pristine natural beauty spot.
A simple hut is to be built in the middle of the islet, according to Tonggurambang village head, Toa Mualaf. Toa said the hut would not sink despite the usual high tides that only leave a small part of the islet visible above the sea's surface.
The magical healing of Nangadhero natural hot spring
After visiting Pulau Pasir Putih Rii Taa, you can visit the Nangadhero natural hot spring, in Nangadhero village.
The hot spring water is believed to have a lot of health benefits.
During my visit, I met Kalimantan native, Ahmad Taa, whom had regained his ability to walk after several months in a wheelchair. He said he had been taking this treatment for over a year, bathing regularly twice a day until he could finally walk again.
Ahmad is one of many people who has regained their health after bathing in the natural hot spring at Nangadhero.
Marapokot natural hot spring
Another hot spring to visit is the Marapokot natural hot spring, which is located in Marapokot village, not far from Nangadhero.
The unique thing about this hot spring is that the villagers often use the hot water to cook eggs.
How to get there
Visitors can take a bus from Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai or Maumere in the eastern part of Flores to Marapokot harbor at Mbay.
If you want to continue on to Pulau Pasir Putih, you can rent a boat from the harbor. The return trip is said to cost from Rp 200,000 ( US $ 16.95).

Iran Denounces 2012 Olympics Logo as RacistJohn Cave Osborne
The 2012 Olympics will be a great chance for parents to introduce their children to countless cultures around the world — an opportunity to show them that different isn't wrong. In fact, different is right. For it's all of our differences that make the Olympics so special. And when the nations of the world convene for two weeks to engage in countless contests, they do so as both competitors as well as members of the same world-wide community.
Sadly, it appears as if one of the members of the world-wide community has a problem with the logo that represents the event that is supposed to bring everyone together.
Bahram Afsharzadeh, the head of Iran's Olympic committee, says that Iran is officially challenging the logo. The nation feels it's racist. According to an article up on the Huffington Post:
Iran sent a letter to International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge. The letter claims the 2012 logo spells out "Zion," a biblical term widely recognized to refer to the city of Jerusalem.
Afsharzadeh states that the letter urges other Muslim states to oppose the logo as well. The International Olympic Committee has acknowledged receipt of the letter and has joined London organizers in rejecting the complaint. The IOC has issued a short statement pertaining to the matter: "Our response is as follows: The London 2012 logo represents the figure 2012, nothing else."
It's too bad that an event which could be used to teach our kids the concept of tolerance and embracing differences has turned into an ugly episode denouncing those differences. But the 2012 games have started out to be just that. And we've not even gotten to the opening ceremony yet.
I remain hopeful that this mess can be worked out. I love the Olympics as well as what it stands for. And I want to use the games to teach my kids to embrace other areas of the world. It'd be nice if there were no silly drama accompanying a logo to get in the way of that effort.

CBB Betting – Iowa State Cyclones to blow past the Oklahoma State Cowboys on the road Tuesday
Written by North Shore Sports, INC
When you log on to your Bookmaker Sportsbook account on Tuesday, look for the Iowa State Cyclones to blow past the Oklahoma State Cowboys on the CBB betting odds.
NCAAB Betting Online:
Iowa State (16-6, 11-7 ATS) is ranked a surprising 35th in the country on the Pomeroy Ratings right now, so look for the Cyclones to get a big CBB betting road win when they visit Oklahoma State (11-11. 10-10 ATS) at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater, OK on Tuesday, February 7th at 7:00 ET ion ESPN2.
Oklahoma State had some national notoriety recently when it upset Missouri on the CBB betting lines here in Stillwater, but the Cowboys caught the Tigers flat following a big win at Baylor, and even with that stunner, Oklahoma State is still only ranked 102nd by Pomeroy. The Cowboys are a poor shooting team and a poor rebounding team, so look for Iowa State to continue its surprising season here.
Few teams in the Big 12, or in the country for that matter, had as big a turnover in personnel prior to this season as Iowa State did. The Cyclones lost three seniors from last year as well as three other players that transferred out of the school, but they also added four transfers coming in!
The end result of all that shuffling has been quite good on the CBB betting odds, as the Cyclones rank 33rd in the country in offensive efficiency and 67th in defensive efficiency. Iowa State has become a solid basketball team at both ends of the court, and its only real weakness appears to be two-point defense, where it ranks just 232nd nationally at 49.3 percent.
It was thought the biggest returnee for Iowa State from last season was the team's leading scorer Scott Christopherson, but he has actually slipped into more of a role player this season. Instead, the Cyclones have been led in a big way by sophomore Royce White, who leads the team in scoring (14.0), assists (4.5), rebounds (9.5), field goal percentage (54.0) and blocks (1.2).
While White is the obvious MVP of the team, Michigan State transfer Chris Allen and sophomore Melvin Ejim have also played key roles in transforming the Cyclones from a squad that was just 16-16 and missed the post-season last year.
Oklahoma State is probably one of the weakest 11-11 CBB betting teams when you consider that this club ranks 255th in effective field goal percentage, 234th in two-point shooting, 279th in three-point shooting, and 312th in offensive rebounding percentage. This team obviously lacks the offense to take advantage of Iowa State's vulnerable interior defense.
So how do the Cowboys have 11 wins? Well, they do rank 56th in effective field goal percentage allowed on the defensive end, but still, besides the stunner over seventh ranked Missouri, the second highest ranked team on the Pomeroy Ratings that Oklahoma State has beaten is 66th ranked Missouri State, so the schedule has helped.
The Cyclones would mark the second highest ranked team that the Cowboys have beaten, but we do not see that happening.
CBB Betting Pick: Take the Iowa State Cyclones on Tuesday
So will Iowa State continue to be one of the biggest surprises in the Big 12 and live up to its Pomeroy Rating, or will Oklahoma State have another home surprise in store? If you like enormous limits and lightning-quick payouts, back your opinion on this and other CBB betting lines at the world's most respected book, Bookmaker Sportsbook.
