A Light In The Darkness
I have always been none-too fond of light. I like dark, cool places. I guess you could say I am a lot like fungus in that regard. My eyes are somewhat sensitive to light, which could easily be attributed to my not liking it very much – it's a harsh cycle – and so my home tends to be fairly dark as well. I mean, sure I use light to read by and do things like that, but overall my home is really dark. Part of this is that I never bother adjusting the curtains despite the time of day. I simply leave them closed so that I do not forget and leave them open in case of nosy neighbors/potential home invaders. Sure, it might sound paranoid, but that has happened to be before. All in all, it would probably be a good idea for me to get some more light even if that would damage by beautiful death-like pallor. Sure, if I was just being lazy about it, there are remote controlled curtains, but those would only last me until the batteries ran out and I stopped caring enough to change them. This is why I think the idea of automatic, light-activated curtains is absolutely brilliant.
A research team led by Ali Javey, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California, Berkeley and faculty scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab has layered carbon nanotubes, which are atom-thin tubes of carbon, onto a plastic polycarbonate membrane that creates a material that can move quickly in response to light, hereby creating possible curtains, and other materials, that are able to adjust themselves – no batteries needed. Taking as little light as a standard flashlight and only a fraction of a second, the carbon nanotubes take in light, convert it into heat, and then transfer that collected energy to the surface of the polycarbonate membrane. The plastic then expands due to the heat while the nanotubes maintain their original form, which then causes the two-layered material to bend. The best part about the entire process is that these "curtains" are both simple and inexpensive to make. In addition to smart, energy efficient home sand other buildings that would have curtains that open and close themselves automatically depending on the time of day, potential future applications for this new innovation could include light-driven motors and even robots able to move with or against the light.
Videos of this amazingly simple new invention can be seen both here and here.
Necessity is said to be the mother of invention, though I might add that laziness could be viewed as a distant cousin that no one talks about. Though I doubt these automatic curtains were developed because the researchers simply did not want to walk over and adjust the blinds themselves, it certainly could lead to a lazy solution for darker homes for people like me. Even so, the potential of these energy saving, smart-curtains is well worth the effort gone into their creation.

BraveSmart is also setup in a level-based format, with each level being a sort of puzzle, asking you to construct a certain number of complex town buildings using wood planks, pieces of coal and even mine carts. Pieces are placed by villagers, with one villager being assigned to each kind of material. When three or more like materials are touching on the level's hexagonal grid, you can drag your finger over them to create a new item, with the item sitting on last square you ultimately touched. When you finish a level, you'll earn a star rating (with a maximum of three stars being available on each level), and can then move on to complete the same process all over again, but with a different initial layout of items or different obstacles in the way.
You'll be limited in the number of times you can "Undo" an action, and will also be given a limited amount of weights that can be dropped on items to clear a space entirely, but even these power-ups don't stop BraveSmart from becoming incredibly challenging incredibly fast. This is a situation where deliberate strategy is required in order to not back yourself into a corner, where the level eventually becomes impossible to complete (as you'll run out of destruction weights).
BraveSmart offers a clever twist on the Triple Town formula, but the game's quick increase in difficulty is rather daunting to say the least. Still, the game is now available to download on both iOS and Android devices, so feel free to give it a try.

So, for some reason when I try to use a for loop to initialize panels in chess board, it actually loops the loop itself. In other words, it doesn't go on forever, but it starts and completes again and again.
package chessgame;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ChessGame extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
public static final int WIDTH=800;
public static final int HEIGHT=800;
public static void main(String[] args) {
ChessGame gui = new ChessGame();
public ChessGame(){
super("Chess Game Demo");
setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
setLayout(new GridLayout(8,8));
JPanel[] chessSquares = new JPanel[64];
for (int a=0;a<64;a++){
I have included all potentially relevant code because I plan to use indices of chessSquares to color squares black and white. When I do this I also get a NullPointerException. I can understand why I'm getting that given the following error, but I cannot at all understand why a would be printed 0, 1....62, 63 over and over again. I am relatively new to Swing and have absolutely no idea why it does this. If anyone could explain that would be tremendously helpful. Thanks.

KLEM News PM Update January 28, 2011
That's Dr. Bertha Aye, infectious disease specialist at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City. She said that the increase is simply because it is the season for the flu. Aye adds that the case increase usually happens sooner.
If you do get the flu, you don't necessarily have to be treated, but if you are a high risk individual Dr. Aye said you should be treated sooner than later.
High risk individuals include: pregnant women, obese individuals, diabetics and those with kidney and liver disease and neuromuscular disorders.
Dr. Bertha Aye says that the one thing that the public should remember is...
Aye says that now is the right time to vaccinate, but keep in mind that the vaccine takes up to 2 weeks to take affect. It is recommended that anyone 6 months and older be immunized.
Gronstal accepts consequences of marriage debate
JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal says he's willing to accept the reality that his decision to block a debate over same-sex marriage could cost him his leadership post or even his seat in the Legislature.
Gronstal, a Council Bluffs Democrat, says people who get involved in politics have to stand for something, and he's made a decision that banning same-sex marriage is a basic denial of rights he can't accept.
He says taking away the rights of gay people today could lead to taking away the rights of other groups in the future, and he won't allow that.
Gronstal made his comments Friday during a taping of Iowa Public Television's ``Iowa Press'' program airing later in the weekend.
2 sought in robbery at Fort Dodge credit union
FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) Authorities are searching for two people who robbed a credit union in Fort Dodge and escaped in a stolen vehicle.
Police say the pair covered their faces on Thursday morning at the Fort Dodge Family Credit Union. They got away with an undetermined amount of cash. No one was injured.
A police news release says the two fled in a Jeep Grand Cherokee sport utility vehicle that was reported stolen earlier Thursday morning. The SUV was soon found, abandoned in an apartment building parking lot.
Capt. Quintin Nelson told The Messengers newspaper that the robbers may have used another vehicle to leave the area.
Police Chief Tim Carmody (CAHR'-muh-dee) said Friday that no one had been arrested yet.
Weather Service issues early look at Iowa flooding
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Iowa could be at risk of flooding this spring, but a lot depends on what happens during the rest of the winter.
The National Weather Service in Des Moines has issued a flood outlook that shows the risk is ``near to above normal.'' Hydrologist Jeff Zogg says it's vague because Iowa may or may not get a lot of snow between now and mid-March when the spring thaw typically starts.
Current snowfall amounts on the ground range from a trace in extreme southeast Iowa to 20 inches in northern Iowa along the Minnesota border. The statewide seasonal snowfall average for all of last winter was 49 inches, the sixth highest on record.
Iowa was swamped by flooding in 1993 and 2008, and came close last year.
Iowan makes plea deal in killing of family pets
BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) A southeast Iowa man has made a plea deal that would give him probation for killing the family cat and dog.
The Hawk Eye newspaper says Billy Lee Kracht, of Danville, is pleading guilty to one count of animal torture and one of animal neglect.
In exchange, prosecutors will ask the judge to give the 39-year-old Kracht probation under suspended prison sentences of two years for the torture and one year for the neglect.
The Des Moines County sheriff's office says Kracht told deputies this summer that he got upset when he found the cat out of its cage, so he hanged it. He also admitted fatally injuring the dog by falling on it.
His sentencing is set for Feb. 18.
New firewood labeling rules in effect in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) New rules that went into effect this month require all packaged and bulk firewood sold in Iowa to have a label identifying the state and county where it was harvested.
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey says in a news release that the rules that went into effect on Jan. 1 are intended to help slow the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer and other damaging pests, such as the gypsy moth and Asian longhorn beetle.
An Emerald Ash Borer infestation was confirmed last year in northeast Iowa's Allamakee County. Extensive surveys and inspections have found no other infestations in the state.
Northey says firewood has been the primary way of transporting the insect. He says consumers should be careful and contact officials if they see firewood without a label.
Rebuilding in Big Ten challenging for bottom 3
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) The Big Ten seems a little top heavy to coaches on some of the struggling teams.
Indiana, Michigan and Iowa are the three worst teams in one of the nation's best leagues. The Hoosiers, Wolverines are 2-6 in the Big Ten and the Hawkeyes are last at 1-7, seemingly stuck behind a slew of powerhouse programs led by marquee coaches with well-established roots.
The strength and stability of programs like Ohio State, Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin and Illinois have made the challenge of cracking the top half of the Big Ten tougher than perhaps any league outside of the Big East.
The top six teams in the Big Ten standings were also in this week's Top 25, from the top-ranked Buckeyes to the 25th-ranked Spartans.

A prominent Indian-origin hedge fund portfolio manager has been charged with participating in one of the most lucrative insider trading schemes ever in the US.
Mathew Martoma, 38, has been charged with using material, non-public information that he received from a doctor on the clinical trial of an Alzheimers drug to make profits and avoid losses for his hedge fund for an amount totalling approximately $276 million.
Martoma, who was arrested last week from his home in Boca Raton, Florida, was released on Monday on a $5 million bail after a brief hearing at the Manhattan federal court here. He did not enter any plea and the judge set the next hearing for December 26.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has also filed a civil insider trading case against him.

EAST LONDON, South Africa, April 11. COMPARED to last summer, when the South Africans sizzled at the Olympic Games, the times from the South African Nationals were modest – to say the least. Still, the headlining names from Athens took care of business last week.
As expected Ryk Neethling and Roland Schoeman highlighted the action, as they combined for three victories and went head-to-head in a pair of events. The Olympic medalists, who helped South Africa to a world record and gold in the 400 free relay in Athens, split their battles in the 50 and 100 free events.
In the 50 free, Schoeman narrowly edged Neethling, as his 22.84 was slightly quicker than the 22.87 registered by his mate. As for the 100, Neethling turned the tables with a winning time of 49.42, ahead of Schoenman's 49.98. During the semifinals, however, Schoenman hit the wall in 49.45. Neethling also won the 50 butterfly (23.89).
At this summer's World Championships in Montreal, Schoenman and Neethling will look to carry forth their momentum from last summer. Aside from South Africa's win in the 400 free relay, Schoenman left Athens with a silver medal in the 100 free and bronze in the 50 free.
On the women's side, three competitors claimed a trifecta, including Melissa Corfe. The winner of the 200 freestyle in 2:03.37, Corfe won the 100 (1:05.10) and 200 (2:15.08) backstroke events. Meanwhile, Wendy Trott was the winner of the 400 (4:19.36), 800 (8:51.02) and 1,500 freestyle (16:43.84) events. The third triple-winner among the women was Mandy Loots, who finished first in the 100 butterfly (1:00.18), 200 fly (2:13.43) and 200 individual medley (2:18.53).
The silver medalist in the 200 breaststroke at the 2000 Olympics, Terence Parkin won the 100 breast (1:03.81) and 200 breast (2:17.48) while George Du Rand doubled in the 200 backstroke (2:01.72) and 100 fly (54.83). For the women, Suzaan Van Biljon prevailed in the 50 breast (33.10) and 100 breast (1:10.32) and was second to Tammy Laubscher in the 200 breast.
Troyden Prinsloo and Robin Francis were also double-winners, with Prinsloo reaching the wall first in the 800 free (8:01.89) and 1,500 free (15:21.95). Francis was tops in the 200 I.M. (2:04.00) and the 400 I.M. (4:22.65).
Other victories among the men were claimed by Mark Randall in the 400 free (3:53.13), Jasper Venter in the 200 fly (2:06.33), Jean Basson in the 200 free (1:50.97), Marco DiCarli in the 50 back (26.20), Gerhard Zandberg in the 100 back (57.00) and Louis Lotter in the 50 breast (28.93). Other female winners were Lauren Roets in the 50 free (26.47), Chanelle Van Wyk in the 50 back (30.75), Lize-Mari Retief in the 50 fly (27.55), Rene Mouton in the 100 free (58.22) and Keri Shaw in the 400 I.M. (4:56.63).

It's difficult not to consider Barack Obama's first year in office as one of the most successful in American presidential history. Saving the economy from the brink of collapse with the Recovery Act, Stimulus Package, and the recent Health Care Reform bill are major acts of legislation that will help turn our country around. But it's still too early to take a victory lap. There is just too much else to do to clean up the giant mess the President was handed when he took office. Here's a quick look at four critical areas that need to be addressed with all due haste:
Is there another issue more crucial to the average American family right now? Doubtful. But, help is on the way. New legislation would grant employers an exemption from their 6.2% Social Security payroll contribution for every new employee hired through the rest of the year (provided said employee had been out of work for at least 60 days). Employers would also be allowed an additional $1,000 income tax credit for every new employee kept on the payroll for 52 weeks. The measure also would make it easier for businesses to write off equipment purchases and would pump billions into federal highway and mass-transit funding programs, which hopefully will jump-start construction projects. The bill's cost is set to be offset by tax code modifications. Last week, the Senate passed a $140-billion package that contains a series of industry-friendly tax breaks such as a credit for research and development, as well as extensions of unemployment benefits and COBRA insurance subsidies for the unemployed through the rest of the year. It is now under consideration in the House. It is expected the Senate will also consider legislation that would provide struggling small businesses with increased access to credit.
Climate Change
This winter Global Warming deniers attempted to plant the ridiculous notion that because it snowed, there is no such thing as Global Warming. Right. In fact, Climate Change is an extremely serious problem that has to be solved sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, "cap-and-trade" (allowing facilities to buy and sell pollution credits in order to meet a national limit on greenhouse gas emissions) is stalled and perhaps dead in the Senate. However, Senators Graham, Kerry and Lieberman have been working for months to develop an alternative to cap-and-trade, which the House approved eight months ago. They plan to introduce legislation next month that would apply different carbon controls to individual sectors of the economy instead of setting a national target. A good idea, but more certainly needs to be done. Alternative energy needs to be feverishly pursued with the ultimate goal of transitioning our nation's primary energy source from petroleum to Green sources.
Financial Reform
Anger over the banker's bailout is still fresh in the minds of Main Street America, who see their credit card rates continue to rise. Sen. Chris Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, offered a revised "Restoring American Financial Stability" bill and was quoted in The Hill newspaper vowing "We will have financial reform adopted this year." Dodd's legislation would give more power to the Federal Reserve to oversee bank holding companies and create a system to avoid taxpayer-funded bailouts of the financial industry - signaling an end to the "too-big-to-fail" line of thinking. His bill would also set up a consumer protection bureau, but not as a separate agency. The bureau would fall under the Fed. The legislation would also give corporate shareholders a "say on pay," including the right to a non-binding vote on executive compensation. It would require more disclosure of exotic financial instruments (such as derivatives) and would create a new program at the Securities and Exchange Commission, aiding whistleblowers who expose wrongdoing. If enacted, these measures would prove to be positive steps in further regulating an industry that desperately needs oversight. I would urge Congress to put further restrictions on the financial industry's credit card practices - a measure that would have broad support from the public.
Foreign Troop Deployment
Newsweek Magazine's recent expose on the failed attempt to train an Afghani police force is nothing short of shocking. Producing almost zero trained personnel in eight years has cost American taxpayers $6 billion. (And we can't afford Health Care Reform?!) It is a reminder of the monetary cost America's military reach around the world. Do we still need thousands of troops in Germany? It is time to re-think the United States' troop deployment as a matter of sensible national security as well as fiscal responsibility. The Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act, signed in May of 2009, is a good start at reigning in wild military spending. Much more should follow.

Caribbean Wellness Day observed
Under the theme "Love that Body – Make it Last" the Ministry of Health in partnership with CARICOM, the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and Nestle yesterday observed Caribbean Wellness Day.
According to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat, Wellness Day, the second Saturday in September, provides an opportunity for persons to focus in a special way together as a Region, to give even greater focus to the importance of healthy eating habits, avoidance of substance abuse and excessive use of alcohol and the imperative of regular exercise in combating the chronic non –communicable diseases.
Member States united in the observance through health fairs, fitness walks, fruit sales, sport and family day activities and launching of initiatives such as smoke free spaces. Some member states are going beyond the observance of Wellness Day to designate the entire month of September as a time for collective focus on healthy living.
CARICOM's input stems from the Port of Spain declaration; in recognition that citizens of the Caribbean region need to protect their bodies, health and future.
This year the Ministry of Health teamed up with Nestle at the Bourda Mall Georgetown.
The event focuses on five main health points which include eating healthy, controlled eating portions, being active, checking health and being happy.
At the health fair visitors were informed about the five main health points and they were also able to receive massages, test their body mass index, weight, height, and pressure; while some were entertained by edutainment pieces based on substance abuse, singing, dancing, quiz and exercise competitions.
"Our region has led the way with the first ever Summit of Heads of Government on non-communicable diseases and has now successfully advocated at the United Nations for a Special High Level Meeting to address non-communicable diseases to be held in September 2011 in New York.
We, in the Caribbean can only continue to lead the way effectively if every individual takes personal responsibility for healthy living as we strive to promote the 'Wellness Revolution' in our homes, schools, workplaces, communities and countries. We still have a long way to go," the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat stated.

Absolutely the best TV for the money! This was an upgrade from my previous Samsung 40" 720p I purchased 6 years ago for over 3x the price.... Could not ask for a better upgrade. Opted away from a smart model since, as we all do by now, I have multiple other internet connected devices. The picture quality is utterly amazing, unit styling is sleek and sexy, feature functions work flawlessly! This unit is pure awesome sauce! Also, as anyone with a modern home theatre receiver knows, the (2) HDMI inputs are more than enough. I recommend to anyone looking to upgrade in size or resolution!!!

I am very happy with my new Samsung 40" LED HD TV. We were forced to buy an HD tv by the cable company but we chose very well. My only complaint is that I cannot set it up to get the cable channels on the tv tuner. I have to use the cable box. Other than that we are very satisfied and would recommend it highly. I chose Samsung because when I saw its picture compared to all of the other brands that were being display alongside, the Samsung had the best picture quality of the group.
Great TV

This TV has a great picture. The sound is very good. The settings out of the box were almost perfect. Only a few adjustments were needed. The off-angle viewing isn't great, but I use this in a bedroom, so it's not a concern. There are minimal connections, so I wouldn't use this as a home theater for a family room.
Service and delivery comments:
I bought this at the ABT store in Glenview and walked out with it. As usual, the salesman was very helpful and well informed. I wouldn't buy electronics or appliances anywhere else. The service is the best!

Great picture quality, even better than my 50 inch Samsung. Its only about 3 inches thick so is easy to maneuver and installation was a snap. Yet another great product from Samsung.

The Golden Rules of Fraud Prevention
Boating for fun was once a rich person's passion. "Yachting," they called it. The boats were big and lavish. The costs were astronomical.
Sailboats and powerboats eventually became a middle-class pastime in the U.S. But the Great Recession and the rising cost of fuel made clear just how expensive boat ownership can be.
That made it clear to many that the next boat they own should not be theirs alone. Money Talks News finance expert Stacy Johnson explains how that works in this video. Check it out, then read on for more details about how you can substantially cut the cost of your boating pastime.
You couldn't give your boat away
After the economy crashed, you couldn't give away a used boat. In the recession, broke boaters dumped vessels in harbors, rivers and waterways, causing environmental and navigational hazards.
Today's boaters are wiser about the costs. Many conclude that they don't need to own the boat to enjoy boating and that cost-sharing options make much more financial sense. After all, 12.2 million boats are registered in the U.S. and the average boat is used just 26 days a year, according to the Miami Herald.
How much can you save? For starters, check the NADA boat guide for new and used boat prices. Used boats on eBay go for a few thousand dollars to $100,000 and up. There are other costs to consider, too: moorage, dry dock, fuel, repairs, upkeep, gear and engines or sails.
Boat Club LLC in Washington state estimates that (without specifying a boat size) the first-year costs of boat ownership amount to about $11,235, including a $3,500 down payment and $375 in monthly loan payments. In comparison, the club's fees run $2,550 a year for a midrange membership.
Boating without buying
There are many ways to get on the water without buying a boat.
- Rent through one of the new peer-to-peer marketplaces that bring owners and renters together, making boating potentially cheaper for both.
- Share the costs of ownership through a time-share arrangement.
- Join a club that owns a fleet of boats.
- Charter a boat, with or without the skipper and crew.
Peer-to-peer rentals
Peer-to-peer boat-sharing companies match boat owners with renters. Both national and local companies are entering the market.
Owners who rent out their vessel for one or two days a month could cover the boat's costs, one company claims.
Boatbound, a peer-to-peer company, takes a 35 percent cut. So, if you rent your boat for $300 a day, you receive $195. The company's fee covers insurance, towing, listing, promotion and support services.
Another company, Cruzin.com, charges owners 40 percent. Along with other services, it conducts credit and fraud checks and requires renters to have a minimum of two years' boating experience.
Are you crazy?
Is it crazy to give a stranger the key to your boat? Some owners wouldn't do it. But others are happy to let a company manage the risk.
"His boat sits at the dock most of the time and [he] would love to offset the cost of ownership," the New York Boating Club writes of one member who's interested in the option.
The Miami Herald says of Boatbound:
All potential renters go through a vetting process. Every boat gets checked out before it is listed, and for boats over 10 years there may be additional underwriting requirements, Boatbound says. And if something should go wrong, Boatbound carries Lloyd's of London insurance — $1 million for liability and $2 million for hull.
If you do offer your boat for rent, make sure to clear the details of the arrangement with your insurance company.
Like VRBO
For renters, selecting a peer-to-peer boat to rent is like choosing lodging from Craigslist or VRBO. You look through the listings and read user reviews until you find a boat and price you like. Renters and owners rate their experiences and each other on the site.
Depending on the company, the inventory of boats might be huge, including kayaks, yachts, powerboats and sailboats, from 15-footers to 50-footers or larger. Some boats come with a captain. Most you operate yourself.
Prices range from $200 to $14,000 a day. You'll pay extra for things like a late return, dirty boat, no-show, damage, refueling and rental reservation. Some larger companies provide the insurance. Others offer it through third-party companies.
Before hopping aboard
With peer-to-peer renting and the other options below, basic due diligence will prevent ugly surprises. Policies, fees and rules vary by company and sometimes by state. Ask questions before hopping aboard, including:
- Will I need a license or proof I can handle a boat?
- Do you provide training? If so, what does it cost?
- Who pays for the gas? If I buy it through the company, what's the price?
- Who will I call if the engine breaks down or something goes wrong?
- Does the rental fee include insurance for accidents and damage? If so, what's the deductible and who pays it?
Time shares
You may have heard of time shares for vacation lodging. Some CEOs use them to share private jets.
For some vacation time-share owners, time shares have been a source of disappointment and regrets, as Stacy Johnson explains in this post.
Time shares are becoming available to boaters. BoatU.S. magazine says:
In a time share, a fleet of boats is owned by a management company and the consumer purchases a specific block of time each year to use a specific vessel or a fleet of vessels. Time-share agreements usually last for one to five years.
Look for transparency
A search online for boating time shares turns up numerous companies and clubs. But few are transparent about how their deals are structured.
One exception is Spinnaker Sailing, a boat dealer, charter company and time-share operator in the San Francisco Bay area. Here's how it describes its time-share membership program:
- One person buys a new boat through the company.
- A limited number of sailors share the craft's expenses and access.
- All can use the boat for an equal amount of time.
- Monthly fees, covering insurance, marina fees, cleaning and repairs, may come to less than the cost of a day's charter at a local sailing club.
A rental share in one of these high-performance sailboats, including insurance, maintenance and all the rest, costs from $295 to $1,295 a month, plus training fees and a deposit, Spinnaker president Drew Harper said in an interview. Owning a similar, 35-foot, $250,000 boat runs (after a $50,000 down payment) about $2,570 a month, including loan payments, slip fees, maintenance, insurance and other fees.
Approach time shares carefully:
- Don't join impulsively.
- Don't sign a contract you don't thoroughly understand.
- Hire a lawyer to review any documents before you sign.
- If you feel pressure from a salesperson or are presented an offer that's good for one day only, back away from the company.
Boat clubs
Boat clubs offer access to a fleet of boats — often smaller ones — without ownership or long-term commitments.
Prices vary widely and depend on location and types of boats and services. Fees may be charged for sign-up, training, monthly maintenance and refundable security deposits.
Two examples:
- The Rat Island Rowing and Sculling Club, in Port Townsend, Wash., charges $250 a year for unlimited use of rowing shells together with a crew.
- Freedom Boat Club, with locations on the East Coast, Midwest, Texas Gulf Coast and California, has monthly fees ranging from $199 to $399. Additional sign-up fees start at $1,200, depending on the boats you'll use.
Nonprofit small-craft clubs often offer training. They make rowing or sailing accessible and affordable. Ask at colleges, community centers and city or county recreation departments.
With any club, read contracts closely and make certain you understand all benefits, obligations and costs.
Boaters sometimes fantasize about hiring out their boats and retiring to a life on the water. But it's not that easy. One former charter boat captain told BoatU.S. that he just broke even.
Says BoatU.S.:
Consult your tax adviser before putting your boat into charter. Federal tax laws apply when recreational boats are used commercially.
Prices for chartering range greatly, depending on the boat type and size and amenities included. Here are examples at the lower end:
- At Destin Charter Boats, in Destin, Fla., fees start at $660 a day. Boats range from a 25-foot bay fishing boat to a 65-foot deep-sea sportfishing boat to a 90-foot party boat.
- Santa Barbara Sailing Center charges $295 a day ($1,460 a week) plus insurance for a "bareboat" (you operate it) charter of a 28-foot Catalina boat. Prices increase for larger boats.
- At South River Boat Rentals, on Chesapeake Bay, fees start at $800 a day to rent a 21-foot Wellcraft powerboat.
Add a skipper, crew and meals — as many do when chartering — and, as you can imagine, the costs can grow and grow.
For referrals to trustworthy charter captains and companies, try local yacht clubs, marine supply stores and bait-and-tackle shops. The American Sailing Association has links to charter companies in the U.S.

The ability to weather a crisis is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the blue chip stocks we recommend. This multinational, one of the last survivors of the original 12 Dow Jones stocks of 1896, suffered a sharp setback during the financial crisis of 2008-2009. But its deep resources and diverse industrial base have allowed it to stage a recovery.
General Electric Co. (New York symbol GE; www.ge.com) is one of the world's largest manufacturers. It makes equipment for generating and distributing electricity, such as turbines (31% of revenue, 32% of earnings); aircraft engines (13%, 17%); health care equipment, such as medical scanners (13%, 14%); home appliances and lighting (6%, 1%); and locomotives (3%, 4%).
Following the 2008/2009 financial crisis, the company scaled back the activities of its GE Capital subsidiary, which provides loans and other financial services to GE's customers. This business now accounts for 34% of GE's revenue and 32% of its earnings.
In 2011, GE merged its NBC Universal entertainment operations into a 49%-owned joint venture with Comcast Corp. (Nasdaq symbol CMCSA). Because GE owns less than 50% of this venture, it no longer consolidates its results with its overall revenue."What works in Canada is working in the U.S." That's what Mr. Peter Brimelow of Dow Jones MarketWatch recently wrote about Wall Street Stock Forecaster, one of a group of "remarkable Canadian newsletters" that have "assembled a long and very strong record." The record, as compiled by the authoritative Hulbert Financial Digest, shows that the compound annual return of Wall Street Stock Forecaster has beaten the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index by almost 30% over the past decade. You are not getting the full potential out of your investments if you do not include a selection of the best U.S. stocks in your portfolio. And the results show that Wall Street Stock Forecaster uncovers the American stocks with the greatest growth potential. As a new investor, you can get the first month FREE plus you will start profiting from our weekly hotline updates and recommendations immediately. Reply now. Click here.
The company is also using its rising earnings to expand its main industrial businesses. In 2011, it spent a total of $11.2 billion buying companies that make engines, pumps, valves and other machinery. These new businesses contributed $4.6 billion to GE's 2011 revenue.
In the three months ended March 31, 2012, GE's revenue fell 8.2%, to $35.2 billion from $38.3 billion a year earlier. However, if you adjust for the sale of NBC Universal in the year-earlier quarter, revenue rose 4.4%.
GE was one of the original Dow Jones stocks in 1896, has been a household name for many decades and captured even more publicity under celebrity CEO Jack Welch, author of "Winning." Which of today's stocks do you think will show the same resilience and still be around a century from now?
Click here
Earnings fell 4.3% in the quarter, to $3.3 billion from $3.4 billion. Earnings per share were unchanged at $0.31 on fewer shares outstanding. If you exclude a gain on the sale of NBC and other unusual items, earnings per share jumped 17.2%, to $0.34 from $0.29.
The debt is $11.7 billion, or a low 6% of GE's market cap. The company should earn $1.45 a share in 2012. The stock trades at 13.1 times that estimate. GE's improving outlook should also let it increase its $0.68 dividend, which yields 3.6%.
In the latest edition of Wall Street Stock Forecaster, we look at whether GE's acquisitions will pay off. We also examine whether GE can sustain its recovery and keep its share price rising. We conclude with our clear buy-hold-sell advice on the stock.

October 17, 2000
Little Rock, Ark. -
The record book took a beating when the Southern Illinois University Carbondale women's golf team placed fifth at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock Lady Trojan Invitational with a team score of 901. Five team records and four individual records were supplanted when the dust finally settled.
"Obviously I was very pleased," Coach Diane Daugherty said. "Everything was great including the conditions. The golf course was link style and is open and what makes it real tough is the fast greens and the wind. Luckily the wind was down and there was a kind of a misty rain on Monday and it makes for the greens to hold. So it was perfect scorable day and we rose to the occasion."
Junior Alison Hiller shot a 215 to finish second in the tournament, but finished the third round with a career low 69 to break the individual 18-hole record of 70 formerly held by Gi Magnusson set in March of 1985 and the best third round score of 73 set by Jamie Smith in 1998. Her 54-hole score of 215 smashed the previous record by 12 strokes set by Lieschen Eller in 1994 and her first round score of 70 edged her own record round of 71 she set as a freshman.
"I was so proud of Alison," Daugherty said. "It was her second great tournament in the last 10 days and there is not a harder worker on the team. It was a positive way to end the fall." The team records that were obliterated were the all-time team low of 301 (295), the all-time 36-hole scores of 613 (604), the all-time 54-hole score of 924 (901), the best first round score of 304 (295) and the best second round score of 301 (297). Most of those records were 18 years old excluding the 36-hole record with was set in 1997. SIU finished 27 strokes off the pace set by Oklahoma and beat MVC foe Bradley by eight strokes.
"I have nothing but good things to say about the fall," Daugherty said. "We played a lot of good competition and in a lot of different conditions from the altitude an link style in Arizona to the cold in Arkansas. We took third places in Illinois State and Northern Iowa and beat Bradley two out of three times and they are the highest ranked team in our conference in terms of team average. We also beat Northern Iowa two out of three times and last week Wichita State took us by three shots and that is nothing. Our goal at the end of the year is to win our conference championship again. If we do that we get an NCAA berth and with continued hard work that is a very attainable goal."
The Salukis played five fall tournaments starting with the Illinois State Red Bird Classic Sept. 9-10 where they finished third with a two-day score of 644. Liz Uthoff was top dawg on the team finishing second overall with a score 154. Next up was the Northern Iowa Classic Sept. 17-18 where SIU again finished third improving its team score by 17 strokes over the Illinois State total by shooting a 627. Uthoff and Andrea Turner shot 156 to finish tied for ninth and Hiller shot a 158 good for a tie for 17.
The Dawgs finished September at the Northern Arizona Lumberjack Women?s Golf Invitational and ended up 13 out of 19 with a team score of 654. Uthoff was again the top finisher coming in tied for 23 with a score of 157. Hiller was not far behind tied for 49 finishing with a 164.
The Salukis opened October competing at the Arkansas State 2000 Lady Indian Classic with Hiller finding her stride and finishing second with a score of 151. SIU finished ninth overall with Uthoff coming in next in a tie for 29 at 162. And that brought us to the final fall tournament at Arkansas-Little Rock and the record-breaking performance by the team and Hiller.
"What a way to go out," Daugherty said. "We beat Bradley, which is a very strong team, and that gives us a lot of confidence going into the spring."
The top four golfers all season long have been the senior Uthoff, Hiller a junior and two sophomores Jennifer Shutt and Andrea Turner. Hiller averaged 77.2 for 18-holes during the five tournaments with Uthoff next at 78, Shutt at 81.5 and Turner at 81.7. Junior Kendra Hood qualified for three tournaments and averaged an 87.
Daugherty also had a chance to see all of her entire roster play under tournament conditions except Carbondale Community High School freshmen Sara and Stefanie Pate, who are both leaning towards red-shirting. Sophomore Ashley Welch played three of the five tournaments with an 18-hole average of 84.2. Freshmen Megan Tarrolly and Amy Rankin both qualified to play at Arkansas State and with Tarrolly shooting a 173 good for an 86.5 average and Rankin a 175 for 87.5.
"It is a big adjustment from high school golf to college golf," Daugherty said. "If I had my way I would have probably red-shirted Tarrolly and maybe Rankin. The Pates I've left it up to them. They are both convinced that they are going to be a lot better four more years from now than they are currently. We travel our first two trips of the spring and we are not going to qualify. We are going to go off of low averages and the five who made this last trip have the lowest averages, so it's going be our home tournament again (March 25-26) until we see Rankin and Tarrolly in competition. They are an important part of our team by pushing the upper classmen to a different level and making this team better."

Last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission released the "Study Regarding Financial Literacy Among Investors." The study, which was conducted in conjunction with the Library of Congress, found "[…] that investors have a weak grasp of elementary financial concepts and lack critical knowledge of ways to avoid investment fraud."
What I found particularly interesting in the study was the comment that "surveys demonstrate that certain subgroups, including women, African-Americans, Hispanics, the oldest segment of the elderly population, and those who are poorly educated, have an even greater lack of investment knowledge than the average general population." Since our population is over fifty percent women (and in my opinion we have the potential to rule the world, I mean accomplish anything) this statistic is not looking too favorable. The study notes that investors lack an understanding of areas including inflation, diversification, investment types, associated fees and the potential risks when it comes to investing their money. I agree that money may not buy happiness, but understanding how to manage it does provide a certain level of independence that I think all women deserve.
I have always whole-heartedly believed the saying that "no one will every care about your money as much as you do" and I have always known that I need to personally understand the risks and logistics behind any investments I make. Right now I am focusing on paying off my student debt, however at some point I want to begin to invest and create a return on my money beyond a 401k. There are a few areas I want to verify and have a confident understanding of when the time comes to take the plunge.
- Understand My Time Frame-when will I need the money in the future. 10 years? 35 years?
- Develop My Appetite For Risk-how comfortable am I taking risks? This will dictate the types of investments I choose and how I should diversify and put my eggs in different baskets.
- Investigate My Investment Options– research the different stocks, mutual funds, and bonds including the financial statements and their registration. See the tips on investor.gov.
- Research Additional Advice– If I feel the need for a second opinion I will seek out a registered financial advisor ensuring that they are experienced and registered with the SEC. See the SEC recommendations on selecting an advisor here.

Ways to Give Back This Week: Helping San Bruno Explosion Relief Efforts

Here are some ways to do your part in helping out the victims of the San Bruno explosion last week.
Giants Bagging Groceries at the Potrero Center Safeway Today
Baseball fans can catch a rare but special appearance by a few players today, but not on King Street. Giants Aaron Rowand and Jeremy Affeldt will join former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda—hold your jeers, it's for a good cause!—and a group of doctors bagging groceries at the Potrero Center Safeway today at noon. The special guest baggers will ask for $1 donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation so don't be stingy! And if you really hate the Dodgers, buy some Slim-Fast and go to Lasorda's line...

A friend of mine has been flying the with KLM for 9 years, recently on the MD-11. He is colourblind. Now, since KLM merged with Air France, both airlines share policy. Appearently, colourblindness is not allowed with Air France, so he is told hat he will not be flying long anymore, eg, fired.
Is that possible at all?
What are the rules for colour blindness with other airlines?
Thanks !

Mountain hunt for ex-LAPD cop enters 4th day
The flight training that he received in the Navy prompted the Transportation Security Administration to issue an alert, warning the general aviation community to be on the lookout for Dorner. The extent of his potential flying skills wasn't known, the bulletin said.
Feb. 1 was his last day with the Navy and also the day CNN's Anderson Cooper received a package that contained a note on it that read, in part, "I never lied." A coin riddled with bullet holes that former Chief William Bratton gave out as a souvenir was also in the package.
Police said it was a sign of planning by Dorner before the killing began.
On Feb. 3, police say Dorner shot and killed a couple in a parking garage at their condominium in Irvine. The woman was the daughter of a retired police captain who had represented Dorner in the disciplinary proceedings that led to his firing.
Dorner wrote in his manifesto that he believed the retired captain had represented the interests of the department over his.
Hours after authorities identified Dorner as a suspect in the double murder, police believe Dorner shot and grazed an LAPD officer in Corona and then used a rifle to ambush two Riverside police officers early Thursday, killing one and seriously wounding the other.
The crime spree spanned across a wide swath of Southern California, prompting several police agencies, including the FBI and US Marshall Service, to form a joint investigative task force.

Home : Brands : Frederic Fekkai : Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives :
The heat from thermal styling tools, tension and pulling from styling, intense sunlight, dry air and chemicals in the solutions used for dying, perming and straightening treatments each have the ability to do some serious damage to your hair. If your hair is showing signs of damage, including dryness, breakage, frizz, split ends and brittleness, you need to take steps now to improve the health of your hair, as damage to the hair is cumulative and will only worsen over time without proper treatment. Making the switch to the shampoos, conditioners and styling aids in the Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Products collection can help stop the progression of damage in its tracks and restore your hair to its soft, lustrous, strong former self.
The Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Products contain natural proteins, which bind to the hair shaft, filling in places where the cuticle or outer covering of the strands has become worn, nicked and blemished. By repairing the cuticle, the Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Products reverses damage to make your hair more manageable and look and feel its best.
To add one or more items to your bag, check the box to the left of each desired
item and then click the "Add to Bag" button at the top or bottom of the page. Items
are listed in SKU number order.
Whatever the cause of the damage, your dry, brittle, frizzy and broken hair needs special first aid to help it recover. The Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Products use proteins to resurface and strengthen the protective covering on the strands to repair damaged hair.
The Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Shampoo eliminates oil and impurities from the hair and scalp, while leaving behind protein to strengthen the hair follicles. In addition to repairing the hair, the shampoo also helps to protect the strands from future damage. The shampoo comes in its original 6.7-ounce size and in an economy Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Shampoo 16-ounce version.
The Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Conditioner is the perfect follow-up to the PrX Reparatives shampoo. In clinical studies, use of the shampoo and conditioner was shown to reduce breakage by 98 percent in just one week. The conditioner contains a blend of natural ingredients that replenish moisture in the hair shaft while supplementing the protein in the strands' cuticles. Like the shampoo, the Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Conditioner is available in a 16-ounce size in addition to its original 6.7-ounce version.
The Frederic Fekkai PrX Reparatives Intensive Fortifying Mask is a deep conditioning treatment designed to complement the actions of the shampoo and conditioner in the PrX Reparatives collection. When used once per week and left in place for 3 to 5 minutes, the mask accelerates the repair process to help you obtain much softer, silkier and healthier hair in less time.

text: After a nasty crack up a few 2 1/2 weeks ago that road rashed my right side (knee, thigh, arm, shoulder) I started with neosporin and then switched to Bag Balm to help clear up the road rash. My right knee cap was particularly bad as round flexing areas don't heal particularly well with large wound areas. I wore shorts mostly but when wearing pants, I would bandage the area to keep clothing abrasion away. Pretty pleased with using the Bag Balm...any similar experiences with BB or similar products?

UK Property Law
Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
Is this a residential assured shorthold tenancy?
What is the term of the tenancy?Tom
What is the fixed term of the tenancy agreement?
When does it expire?
You had written tenancy agreement and the length of this tenancy agreement was two years. This has expired and you have not received a further tenancy agreement and have just continued to stay in the property and pay monthly rent.
is this correct?
If your assured shorthold tenancy agreement has expired the it has now become a statutory periodic tenancy. This means that the tenancy continues on the same terms but from one rent period to the next (so from month to month if you pay your rent monthly)
This means that your landlord can at any time serve you with a s21 Housing Act 1988 notice requiring possession. The notice period for this is two months and must expire on the final day of a rent period.
He can do this at any time regardless of whether you request repair.
He can only raise the rent if you agree to or if he serves a s21 notice and before the notice period expires offers you a new tenancy on different terms (ie. at a higher rent).
If this is useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. You will be free to ask follow up questions.

Leading Swiss Chocolatier, Lindt & Sprüngli UK, has invested £2.1m in its first ever UK dedicated TV advertising campaign for Lindor this Christmas. The execution will encourage consumers to 'find their moment of bliss' via the TV campaign, which will be supported by a digital campaign and strong in-store campaign.
The TV advertising campaign – which runs until the 24th December – enables Lindt to reach over 11.7m consumers at a peak period and drive them into stores. The aim is to put Lindor forward as the number one premium choice at Christmas and build on 2011 Christmas results where Lindor had its highest market share ever.
Annabelle Delorme, marketing director from Lindt said: "Lindt UK has achieved phenomenal growth year to date, so we are delighted to be able to launch our first ever UK dedicated Lindor TV advertising campaign, just in time for Christmas. We have deliberately selected this media channel to allow consumers to visualise the pleasurable experience Lindor creates and use these thoughts and emotions during the peak Christmas period to select Lindor as their chocolate of choice."
Following already exceptionally strong growth so far this year on Lindt's number one brand Lindor, a UK specific TV advert will only help to propel Lindor performance in the hearts of UK consumers, further building brand equity.
In conjunction with the new UK TV advertisement, Lindor has also introduced a new range of truffles for Christmas. The delicious new range includes three new exciting ways to share moments of bliss with family and friends: the Lindor Maxi Ball (550g), the Lindor Christmas Collection Gift Box (285g) and Lindor Stracciatella Truffles (200g).

Softball Wins Two; Continues Fall Season
Sept. 20, 2012
CHICAGO - The UIC softball team posted two wins Sept. 15, defeating Northern Illinois, 3-1 and Heartland Community College, 12-3 at Flames Field in Chicago, Ill. The Flames play host to a doubleheader against Northwestern Saturday at 11:00 a.m. (CT).
"It was great to have the chance to compete against Northern Illinois and Heartland Community College this past weekend," head softball coach Michelle Venturella said. "We have several new student-athletes on the team, so it was good to see what they are capable of doing. Our returners are doing a nice job of helping the newcomers realize the direction that this program is headed. We are at the beginning of this journey together, and we know there will be ups and down, but this group is determined to do the work and get the results they desire."
Senior pitcher Devin Miller (Chicago, Ill./Loyola Academy) piloted the Flames to a 3-1 victory over the Huskies.
Freshman Lindsay Melson (Harvard, Ill./Marengo Community) started and pitched four innings, while Bridget Boyle (St. John, Ind./Lake Central) closed out the final two innings to propel UIC to a 12-3 win over Heartland.
UIC welcomes the Wildcats to Flames Field Saturday in a doubleheader that begins at 11:00 a.m.
"We are looking forward to playing Northwestern at home this Saturday," Venturella said. "They always compete at a high level, and we are eagerly anticipating the challenge."

JustAnswer is a public forum and questions and responses are not private or confidential or protected by the attorney-client privilege. The Expert above is not your attorney, and the response above is not legal advice. You should not read this response to propose specific action or address specific circumstances, but only to give you a sense of general principles of law that might affect the situation you describe. Application of these general principles to particular circumstances must be done by a lawyer who has spoken with you in confidence, learned all relevant information, and explored various options. Before acting on these general principles, you should hire a lawyer licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction to which your question pertains.
