Health Care Spending Growth and the Future of U.S. Tax Rates
The fraction of GDP devoted to health care in the United States is the highest in the world and rising rapidly. Recent economic studies have highlighted the growing value of health improvements, but less attention has been paid to the efficiency costs of tax-financed spending to pay for such improvements. This paper uses a life cycle model of labor supply, saving, and longevity improvement to measure the balanced-budget impact of continued growth in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The model predicts that top marginal tax rates could rise to 70 percent by 2060, depending on the progressivity of future tax changes. The deadweight loss of the tax system is greater when the financing is more progressive. If the share of taxes paid by high-income taxpayers remains the same, the efficiency cost of raising the revenue needed to finance the additional health spending is $1.48 per dollar of revenue collected, and GDP declines (relative to trend) by 11 percent. A proportional payroll tax has a lower efficiency cost (41 cents per dollar of revenue averaged over all tax hikes, a 5 percent drop in GDP) but more than doubles the share of the tax burden borne by lower income taxpayers. Empirical support for the model comes from analysis of OECD country data showing that countries facing higher tax burdens in 1979 experienced slower health care spending growth in subsequent decades. The rising burden imposed by the public financing of health care expenditures may therefore serve as a brake on health care spending growth.

corporate-diversity programs?
Most fear they lose out as people
of color gain opportunities, so they
look at diversity initiatives as a
zero-sum game.
Chairman Tim Fay founded
Adversity.net several weeks after
allegedly being denied a contracting opportunity with the U.S.
Department of Transportation because he wasn't a minority-owned
business. Adversity.net is a nonprofit web-driven organization that
compiles reverse-discrimination
statistics and personal stories.
Fay calls the idea of white
privilege "preposterous." This logic
assumes a level playing field that
remains elusive, but Casellas says
the tendency for whites to claim "
reverse discrimination" is increasing.
"Every few years, the anti-diversity, anti-affirmative-action
people rear their ugly heads and
raise again this issue of alleged
preferences and unfairness,"
Casellas says.
Why now? In tough economic
times, people look for scapegoats,
which may explain the flurry of
noose hangings across the country
and the renewed power and venom
it represents. There's also animosity over the immigration debate.
"A lot of people are facing hard
times because of the effects of
globalization and the economy and
outsourcing, and a lot of whites are
facing hard times as well as people
of color and women of all races,"
says Pincus. "It's unfortunately
easy in our culture to not look at
the real causes of the problems
but to find scapegoats. Race and
gender and immigration status
historically have always been available as sources of blame for things,
when in fact it's harder to hate the
economy or political leaders or
Case Studies
From the Top 50
The key is to engage everyone,
including white males, in diversity
initiatives so they understand
that this really is about everyone.
Companies that consistently fail
to engage white men in corporate-diversity efforts may wonder why
this happens even if "We invited
them to employee-resource-group
and diversity-council meetings,"
or "We asked them to show up for
lunch 'n learn diversity-training
sessions, but they didn't come."
Employers that successfully
engage white men in diversity
understand that extending an
invitation to an employee-resource-group meeting or event,
for example, isn't inclusive unless
the recipient—in this case, the
white male—actually believes
you want them to be there and
that they'll be welcomed if they
come. You've got to do more than
just open the door if you want
someone who's nervous about a
situation to walk inside.
Wachovia, No. 11, encourages
employee authenticity by creating "safe
space" for 360-degree feedback, part of
which is done through diversity councils and mixed-match training with
participants across identity groups in
the bank's Diversity Leadership Team
(DLT) series. Providing context helps
combat real or potential resistance
from white men or others who feel
excluded from diversity efforts.
"It may be operational, institutionalized, or it may simply be the
very real fear that exists in individuals
that 'diversity isn't about me,' so
anything that promotes diversity is
not a good thing," says John Wood,
vice president, senior diversity consultant, Wachovia.
(PwC), No. 12, implemented one-on-one white-male partner conversations with associates of color and
women to understand what "life is
like to be me" on a daily basis from
the other person's perspective. To
back up a well-respected diversity-management infrastructure that's in
line with the business, white-male
executives are actively involved in the
leadership and execution of diversity-related goals and objectives, which
keeps them engaged and sets a positive example for others. PwC also has
networking circles for parents, which
build cross-racial and cross-gender
relationships around the experience of being a parent. The Working

Title: Dragon's Crown
Price: $39.99 on Vita, $49.99 on PS3
System(s): Vita, PS3
Release Date: August 6, 2013
Publisher (Developer): Atlus (Vanillaware)
ESRB Rating: "Teen" for Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol and Tobacco, Violence
There are certain expectations one has of a Vanillaware game. First and foremost, it's going to be stunning. I'm talking so beautiful, a player has to sometimes just stop and stare at the screen, marveling at the way every character, enemy and environment is depicted. Second, it must draw players in, be it with an interesting story, challenging adventure or unexpected gameplay. Third, something about it must keep you coming back for more.
Dragon's Crown fulfills all those criteria. It is a gorgeous adventure with an interesting story. The game gradually grows more difficult, rewarding players with rare loot, extra challenge and more skills. Most importantly, the ability to play as six different heroes either alone, or online with friends, provides plenty of incentive to keep returning, even if your level is already maxed and your character is armed with legendary armaments.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Adventurers get caught up in epic affairs. It's a hazard of the profession. If someone going to go around, exploring ruins and forests, and offering their services to anyone who'll hire them, odds are something big is going to happen and the adventurers will be the ones who have to set things right. Which is exactly how it goes in Dragon's Crown.
Players create a custom character, based on one of six classes. The adventurer could be an Amazon, Archer, Dwarf, Knight, Sorceress or Wizard. Players get to customize their name, choose a color pallette to influence the appearance, decide on the language the character speaks and then sets out to join the Adventurer's Guild and make a name for him or herself around Hydeland.
Naturally, the adventurer gets drawn into royal affairs. The king of Hydeland took off in search of the legendary Dragon's Crown, a relic that supposedly allows the wearer to control dragons. It was an understandable course of action, considering Hydeland is constantly threatened by stronger, outside forces, but now the king is missing, the succession is in question and generally strange happenings are afoot.
Good thing there's a new adventurer in town.
Gorgeous, outrageous, smooth and engaging.
At it's core, Dragon's Crown is a beat'em up with RPG elements. If someone is familiar with Guardian Heroes, Streets of Rage or Golden Axe, then they'll have a pretty good idea of how things will proceed. The group of four, or less if one wishes, explores an area, fighting off every enemy encountered, while also directing Rannie the thief to open locked doors and chests. At one point in an area, a scene will come up guiding the story and, if a certain point in the story has been reached, offering the option to continue down one of two paths and face one of two different bosses. After an area is completed, the party returns to town.
That's when the chores begin. First, experience is applied to the current main character and players can sort through the newly acquired equipment to determine what to appraise and keep, and what to sell. This is also the time to take various adventurer bones found during the prior quest to the temple, to see if any should be resurrected, adding to the pool of potential party members, or buried to make room for more. Currently equipped items have to also be repaired, so they don't break in the field. Not to mention it's always smart to visit the Adventurer's Guild, to see if there's a new skill to spend points on, a completed side-quest to report or a new side-quest to take. After that, it's back to either level grinding in the dungeons or listening to the narrator to see where the adventurer should go next to advance the story.
If it sound repetitious, that's because Dragon's Crown is. However, I wouldn't say that's a bad thing. It's repetitive in the same way Diablo or World of Warcraft is. Yes, players are going through the same area multiple times, but the crew going with them or the character they're currently using can change the experience. Plus, the treasure chests available in each area change, meaning higher quality weapons could appear. Which means multiple playthroughs are required to acquire the best equipment and reach that initial, level 35 level cap. Besides, after a certain point, online and local multiplayer is unlocked, which adds quite a bit of extra replay value, and there are two additional difficulty levels that open up after the first and second playthroughs.
In fact, I'd encourage each Dragon's Crown player to make one of each of the six main adventurers. They all play differently, and you may find an unexpected favorite among the group. For example, the Amazon, Dwarf and Knight are melee fighters, making it easy to get right up on enemies and let loose a barrage of hits. The Archer, Sorceress and Wizard are distant fighters and require players to think strategically, using arrows and magic when the time is right, to avoid being caught unaware and unarmed by enemies. For example, I was one of those people who intended to avoid using the Sorceress because of her appearance. I decided to use her to be fully informed for this review, and now she's my favorite character.
In fact, even any two Sorceresses, or Dwarves, or any other character won't be alike. Players may go with different skill set upgrades at the Adventurer's Guild, which can change the way a character plays. For example, I've given my Archer, Pixie, a melee build, even though she's a distance fighter. She has the hidden dagger skill, which allows me to give her a dagger to replace her bow temporarily in battle. Another skill adds the defense stat of her boots to strength, so her general, close-range physical attacks are stronger. I've also chosen to invest in a magic skill, which allows her to use a short-range magic attack by holding down the square button. The characters are what you make of them.
Speaking of the characters, this is probably a good time to briefly discuss the Dragon's Crown art issue. Some people have a problem with the depiction of the Amazon and Sorceress characters. To this I say, look at some of the male characters, primarily the dwarf. Vanillaware clearly created Dragon's Crown as an homage to classic beat'em up games, hoping to make it more over-the-top and stylized than the games that came before it. Yes, proportions are ridiculous. I'm going to have to play the "it's only a game" card here. If someone doesn't like characters like the Amazon or Sorceress, don't look at them.
Though, even if some players are opposed to some Dragon's Crown characters' appearances, I hope they can still appreciate the overall beauty of the game. Because this game is incredible, and I think it's an example of Vanillaware's finest work. The detail in each characters' appearance is extraordinary, even in the way they move. Every ally and opponent is a work of art. That isn't even getting into the detail of the environment. I spent about five minutes just marveling at the lighting techniques used in the gate area of town, making my characters walk in and out of the shadows and sunlight to bask in the visual effects. I'm glad that the reward for completing sidequests is additional artwork, because I loved what I saw and wanted more.
Actually, that's one of the reasons why I think the Vita version of Dragon's Crown is superior. The ability to take screenshots of this incredible game at any time is a godsend. I was snapping an endless array of pictures, trying to get perfect shots of certain moments. My sorceress riding a dragon mount. My elf eating a piece of fruit. A magician's apprentice squirming after he'd been turned into a mouse. I needed to capture every moment.
But there's even more of a reason why Dragon's Crown works best on the Vita, and that's the touch screen controls. There are so many moments in the game when players need to interact with the background to make something happen. Tapping a door or chest to make Rannie unlock them. Touching a glimmer in the background to make a hidden treasure appear. Pushing runes on the wall and in my inventory, to create a special magical event. These were all so easy and effortless on the Vita, and while it isn't too difficult to use the right analog stick and X button to make these things happen on the PS3, it just felt more natural on the handheld.
Dragon's Crown pays tribute while treading new ground.
I'm in love with Dragon's Crown. I suppose one could call me addicted. I'm taking endless pictures of every moment, because it looks so good and I feel I have to share it. I have an avatar of every character, because I had to see how each one works. I'm going through the same dungeons two, three, eight times alone, because I want to be fully prepared for when I go online and play with other people. I don't want to be dead weight, I want to contribute. I need to collect every piece of extra artwork, because dang it, it's worth the extra effort. It's like part of me is playing, and remembering endless romps through Golden Axe and Streets of Rage as a child, while another is marveling at how gorgeous an intricate a game can be, while also appreciating the rune system, RPG elements and various twists. Vanillaware perfectly captured the spirit of these classic games, while adding in new elements that show the future of a side-scrolling beat'em up. Dragon's Crown is a gorgeous, engaging game that is not only entertaining, but is also a work of art.

The divorce rate is rising in southern Tajikistan as temporary emigrants settle down abroad, leaving their ex-wives to fend for themselves with no alimony payments.
Officials in the ten districts which make up the southern Kulob region say 100 divorces involving husbands abroad were recorded last year, but others say the real figure is much higher if marriages concluded according to the Islamic rite but not registered with the secular authorities are counted.
Gulchehra Murodova runs an advice centre which received hundreds of applications for help last year from women trying to claim alimony from absent ex-husbands.
"My husband went to Russia and didn't come back," one mother-of-five told IWPR. "He divorced me over the phone, and he doesn't take care of us. The children can't go to school so they work at the market pushing barrows. That's how we pay the rent and get by."
"Divorce by phone" is a fairly common phenomenon, where the husband cites a local reading of Islamic law in which it is sufficient to recite the formula "taloq, taloq, taloq" over the phone.
Unlike many in this position, this interviewee had a wedding certificate and birth certificates for the children, but she was nevertheless unsuccessful with her divorce claim in court.
In Tajikistan, husbands are legally bound to provide for their children, including after a divorce, but this becomes difficult to enforce when they are in another country, and especially if the marriage has not been registered and a subsequent statement of divorce thus carries no legal force.
A representative of the Kulob court, Furqat Rahmatulloev, said alimony rulings could not be delivered if either party was absent from the courtroom, and while there was provision to order payments out of state funds in the absence of the husband, this could only happen if the husband could be located, which was rare in the case of migrant workers.
Typically working in Russia, Tajik migrants often settle down, remarry with or without securing a formal divorce, and take out citizenship.
For more on this subject, see Plight of "Abandoned Wives" in Tajikistan.
This audio programme, in Russian and Tajik, went out on national radio stations in Tajikistan, as part of IWPR project work funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Could these be pregnancy symptoms?
I am a mother of one, my bg is almost three and we are ttc again. My period is due the second, past few days i have been feeling dizzy a lot, i never feel dizzy when i am not sick, i feel hot as if i have a fever and i don't, sore muscles, tired, very snappy, a bit of dry scratchy throat and on wednsday i had a fever which went away as fast as it appeared. So i wonder if its a bug, even though i don't feel sick, or if it could be early signs of pregnancy. I don't think i had that with my daughter. Thanks in advance ladies.

They could be pregnancy symptoms but the catch is that the same hormone that causes early pregnancy symptoms also causes PMS. It could be that you had a bug, it could be pregnancy, or it could be PMS. Good luck.posted 09/30/2012 by MonicaMarieB

Largo Afonso de Albuquerque, 1 - 2. EsqExcellent 91%
krisman_uk Very handy location- only 5 mins walk straight up the road from Sintra station.. so quick and easy to find. Being low season, we were the only couple staying this weekend, but were warmly welcomed by Augusto. The room was comfortable and everything very clean. There is also a comfortable common room. Unfortunately the TV was not working- sounded like they were waiting on a repair to a cable problem. Bathroom was clean. Shower worked fine for us (better in men's than ladies bathroom) , though we can see it could have been problem with more folk there as you have to walk past shower to get to the one toilet- so not the most private set up. All very clean though. As far as our stay it was great and very convenient. To anyone going to Sintra for first time.. be sure to choose Quinta de Regaleira as one of the places to visit- for us this was definitely the highlight and SO interesting exploring the gardens there! (We walked it from the hostel .. 20-25 mins pleasant walk)

eissa.khoury Loved the place. We stayed in the private room with an ensuite and it was an extremely charming room. However, we looked in at some of the dorm rooms and the whole place is really nice! Its got a great feel to it, its clean, the staff were great, the views are stunning, and the location is perfect to explore Sintra. Highly recommended! :)

The battle for the republican presidential nomination continues, with primaries coming up next in Arizona and Michigan.
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney continue their fight for delegates with candidates like Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich fighting to stay in the race as well.
Former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, who once chaired the Republican National Committee, says the door could still be open for another candidate.
"If the Republican primary voters continue to split up their votes in such a way that nobody is close to having a majority, then there is a chance that somebody else might get in," says Barbour.
Some party members are pushing for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to put his name in the hat, but Christie says he is still supporting Mitt Romney.

ATLANTA -- When Hannah wants to listen to music louder than what her iPhone can do, she put it in a bowl.
"It will bounce off the sides and that will make it louder," she explains.
And while Hannah's method works, there's a product that claims to work even better.
When Hannah looks at the Egg Beats speaker, she believes she knows how it works.
"Put your phone in here, it would bounce around in this hole here and it would bounce off -- like the sound would come through this tunnel," she says.
As soon as she opens the Egg Beats, she realizes all the neat things it can do, like turn on its side to allow users to watch movies on their phones.
Aesthetically, it works, but Hannah says it also makes the sound on her iPhone much louder. It works when she's listening to music, watching a movie and FaceTiming her mom.
"I think it's cool," Hannah says, adding that the $10 price doesn't hurt either. She gives Egg Beats two thumbs up.

Theater students all face a similar challenge: auditions. The theater department hosted two auditions for upcoming shows on one weekend.
This spring, the theater department will perform the French comedy, "Tartuffe,†written by the renowned 15th century playwright, Molière.
Later this summer The Straw Hat Players will perform a variety of comedy/musicals throughout the summer of 2011.
While the spring play, "Tartuffe,†sounds different from the traditional musical styling productions of The Straw Hat Players, the procedure for auditioning for both of these shows remains the same.
Junior Caroline Stommes has performed in past shows and participated with The Straw Hat Players in past summers, and has been honing in on her auditioning skills through her college career. And with a large portion of Straw Hat shows as musical theatre, one needs to perfect the craft of the audition first.
"For Straw hat, the requirements are that the total audition package has to be one minute and thirty seconds,†says Stommes. "You sing a song and perform a monologue. You can decide, within that timeframe, if you want the song longer or shorter than the monologue. All of the Straw Hat shows are musical theatre. Except for one every season.â€
While the stipulations for a Straw Hat auditions sound clear cut enough, the audition for this performance of "Tartuffe,†had more specific requirements. The way that the play is written is not contemporary theatre language, but in the tradition that Molière was use to in 15th century France.
"A one minute Moliere monologue and it has to be in verse. Because there are different translations of Moliere,†says Stommes. "Some are in verse and prose; so they don't rhyme at all. But for our show, we are doing it in verse.â€
For the audition of the play for "Tartuffe,†it is helpful for the performer, and beneficial to the director to see, to recite a monologue from other Molière plays. Junior Kim Miller, who has performed in recent campus productions, has dedicated more of her time to directing, and used that to her advantage when she auditions for shows.
"If I'm directing, I make sure I know the play inside and out,†says Miller. "If I'm auditioning, I pick the part I'm looking for, like for the play "Tartuffe,†I wanted to play the part of Elmire. So I geared a monologue that was a Moliere show. I picked a different play with a similar part, so I could show the director I was interested in that piece.â€
Not only does choosing a monologue from the same author benefit the performer, but a different play helps too. Choosing a monologue that fits appropriately with the setting of the audition also benefits the actor.
"It's best to have monologues that speak to the audience…and if it's more open-ended, it works better. Says Miller.
While the parameters to an audition seem daunting at first, the process itself takes time. And of course, much like Stommes and Miller, everyone has to start somewhere. The drive one has for performing in front of others isn't the only requirement for acting, but passion as well.
"If you're someone that can really connect with their emotions and are willing to be vulnerable and free with everything, then give acting a shot,†says Stommes.
"Tartuffe†starts April 13-April 16 at 7:30 pm on Gaede Stage at MSUM.
The Straw Hat Players beginning performing shows this summer on Hansen Stage at MSUM.

Question from redheadofdoom
Does your name have to be something specific to encounter Misingno?
I'm just wondering because I'm going to play through it again, and I'd like to at least see Misingno, but I want to know before I start so I don't have to start all over to change my name.
6 years ago
Accepted Answer
It has been my experience that whatever your name, you will encounter MissingNo if you do the Cinnibar Island coast trick. You can also use the Mew Glitch to see MissingNo. The above poster is incorrect, to see MissingNo along the Cinibar Coast, it's not the fossil, it's your name. So if you want to be sure to encounter MissingNo, use one of the Default names.

If im right it isnt your name, its the fossil you get at the end of mt moon.

Ok ok heres the right answer once you reach cinnibar island use fly to go to veridian city and talk to the old man walking in the road he will show you how to catch a weedle and if memory serves right fly back to cinnibar island and surf up and down the right side of the island you will encounter eather a weird pokemon or missingno now if you catch missingno you will screw up your game but allso if you catch him he will evolve once you enter a fight lol he will evolve in to a kangaskan lvl 30 so your best bet is not to catch him you can make your name what ever you want lol i always us eather the name zeke or jade and im fine ^.^ good luck and i hope this helped

Printing Business Could Go Up in Smoke
LAS VEGAS—In a never-ending quest to offer more ancillary products and services than its competitors, a printer here may start branching out in a new, more mellow direction: dope.
It seems A&B Printing, based here, has not been experiencing growth, so owner Kathy Gillespie has sought to get into another growing business by applying to open a medical marijuana dispensary. She is paying the $5,000 application fee to become one of the 10 allotted dispensaries in Clark County.
"The printing industry is not growing. It's not a growing business," Gillespie told KVVU-TV 5. "We very much are interested in getting in on the ground floor and will be applying (for dispensary and cultivation licenses)."
Gillespie's mother, as well as the mother of her partner, both battled cancer. She feels access to the medical marijuana would have eased her mother's pain.
Gillespie, who hopes to eventually operate in two locations, would like to get out of the printing business completely and feels her facility could be converted into a dispensary.

The city of Tallahassee wants you to "Get Smart"... energy smart that is. City officials say they're encouraging people to save energy and money in a campaign called "e-plus". The campaign promotes programs like the smart bill which could save the city about 45-thousand dollars in billing costs each month.
"But from the customer's perspective, not only that, they're able to actually pay for free where in the past there was a charge if you wanted to make a check payment electronically," says Reese Goad, the Director of Tallahassee Utility Business and Customer Service.
"It will go active October 27th so we're really excited about the smart bill, and we have other programs that we have already launched that are under our e-plus," adds Sandra Manning,
Tuesday night, Tallahassee commissioners signed a pledge to be energy efficient in their own homes and lives. If you would like more information about other Tallahassee "e-plus" programs, click onto the link below, then click onto the utilities button on the right of the homepage. There will be a multi-colored "e+" icon in the upper right hand corner.

CEDAR CITY — After dropping an 8-4 decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader with Oral Roberts, Southern Utah bounced back for a 6-0 win over the Golden Eagles in their second meeting of the day behind a complete game shutout from Justin Neubauer.
The junior lefty took a no-hitter into the sixth inning before giving up his lone hit of the contest to help the Thunderbirds improve to 10-24 on the year.
"ORU has been the class of this conference for a long time", said SUU interim head coach Clayton Carson. "Anytime you can get a win against them you know you are where you want to be at."?
The Golden Eagles quickly jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the early game after third baseman Jose Trevino drove in two runs with a triple to right center and Brandon Healy added an RBI single to give ORU three runs in the top of the first.
Southern Utah then trimmed the deficit to one in the following inning when with the bases loaded Dave Ricker put SUU on the board by hitting a ball to the left side of the infield that was scooped up by the third baseman and thrown to second advancing the runner and resulting in a ground out RBI. The second baseman then turned to throw to first, in an attempt at a double play, but the ball deflected off the base runner allowing Tariq Staton to round third and add a second run to bring the score to 3-2.
Oral Roberts increased its advantage by plating another run in the third inning, but Southern Utah tallied two more scores in its half of the frame to even the score at four runs apiece. Mitchell Kauweloa recorded a ground out RBI and Bo Cuthbertson scored on an error to bring the game to a 4-4 tie.
The visitors would then pull away however, collecting four runs over the next two innings and holding SUU scoreless over the last six to set the final score at 8-4.
Senior right-hander Joe Spring (2-1) earned his second win of the season for ORU after striking out seven batters over six innings of scoreless relief. Kelsey Outram (2-6) lasted just four innings on the mound after surrendering six walks and allowing seven runs, four of which were earned.
Southern Utah built an early lead in the second matchup of the day and then cruised behind the pitching of Neubauer. SUU got on the board in the first inning when Justin Neuhart hit a ball over the Golden Eagle outfielder in left for an RBI double. The T-Birds then added three more runs in the third to extend their lead to four. Staton scored on an error and Kauweloa added a two-run RBI single in the frame to stretch the margin to 4-0. Staton and Kevin Kline each added insurance runs in the fourth and fifth innings to set the final count at 6-0.
"Justin really set the tone in that second game," explained Carson. "He got ahead in the count and was pitching for contact and let the defense play behind him. After we got the lead I knew that he could hold them down."?
Kauweloa led Southern Utah with three RBI while Staton went 4-for-7 at the plate with an RBI and two runs scored. Trevino drove in three runs and scored two more, all of which came during the first game, for Oral Roberts.
With the split the two teams are now tied atop the Summit League standings with identical marks of 4-3 in conference play. Therefore, the winner of Saturday's finale will sit alone in first place in the league ranks. The Thunderbirds and Golden Eagles will square off in Thunderbird
Park tomorrow at 1 p.m.
SALT LAKE CITY — Five different Utes registered hits, including junior shortstop Kelsi Hoopiiaina's eighth double of the year, but the University of Utah softball lost a 9-0 decision to No. 19/15 Oregon in the opener of their Pac-12 Conference series on Friday at Ute Softball Field.

Aroma of the final drink is somewhat muted by the crema, but you can still make out typical earthy undertones of the Arabica underneath with even a slight hint of oily characteristics. As for the milk itself, it has a sweet aroma of hot steamed milk with a slight touch of butter which becomes more present as you work your way to the bottom of the cup. The aroma itself keeps evolving as you go through the layers of the drink. Speaking of milk, the Dolce Gusto's 15-bar pressure created one of the BEST milk froth cremas we have ever witnessed from a single-serve coffee machine.
We featured this redesign that we thought might only surface in Europe last Fall, and now it's nice to see we're going to get an "O" shaped Nescafe Dolce Gusto sometime this year in the US. This sneak peek at the new Dolce Gusto coffee brewer at the 2010 Home and Housewares Expo in Chicago was captured by the crew over at CoffeeWiz.com. Thanks for getting the picture - and what do you think? Are you buying? Or are you crying? Sound off in the comments with your feelings about this novel design.
Via Coffeewiz's Photos
It had never dawned on us that we reviewed the Nescafé Dolce Gusto system a while back but had completely forgotten to follow-up with reviews of the individual capsules which were available for it. Well readers, rest assured that glaring omission has now been resolved starting with this very review. From its quirky "alien duck thingy" looks to its professional quality 15-bar pressure (which produces incredibly rich, frothy drinks) to its fully manual controls & 100% no-mess cleanup... we love just about everything on this machine and we love the variety of its coffee capsules even more.
We decided to start with the most basic of all capsules, Nescafé's Caffè Americano, which is actually a recent addition to the lineup as it appeared online & in stores only within the past several months. A quick gander at Wikipedia reveals that an Americano is "a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso, giving a similar strength but different flavor from regular drip coffee". We didn't have any of the cool Nescafé color-coded mugs seen on the packaging and certainly wouldn't mind if the kind folks at Nescafé would send a few our way the next time they have an overstock *cough*. So, all shameless begging aside, pardon us for using a plain 12oz glass mug instead. We decided to limit the amount of water to approx. 8 or 10oz as to not dilute the coffee too much.
Packed in a 3 count box pack, these smart capsules make a perfect Americano using the Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine. We love a good Cafe Americanano, and can't wait to try these for the Nescafe Dolce Gusto. Has anyone else tried them?
At Nescafe Dolce Gusto Caffe Americano
We're still very much in love with our Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine here at single serve coffee (read our review of the Dolce Gusto here). Each week we fire it up and have what we would like to think is a nearly perfect latte or other hot beverage. The thing about the Dolce Gusto is - it just feels different, and makes a great cup of single serve coffee. Operating it is easy - as the capsules come packed with a milk and coffee option in one box, and it has a variety of flavors to keep you interested. It should be an interesting 2010 for the Dolce Gusto, with more flavors available hopefully in the new year.
At Nescafe Dolce Gusto Single Serve Coffee Machine
There's a completely redesigned Dolce Gusto in town, but it's in a town in Europe. Single Serve Coffee reader Cliff wrote in about this crazy post over at Fubiz (a french site) about the new Dolce Gusto single serve coffee maker design. We love our original Dolce Gusto (read our full review here), and we look forward to this alien like cousin to visit our kitchen soon. No word on North American pricing and availability, but click on through to Fubiz for a video of the Dolce Gusto redesign as well.

You can now make rich dark hot chocolate Mocha beverages with your Dolce Gusto singe serve coffee maker. Packed in a 16 count box, you get 8 milk and 8 hot chocolate capsules to make your mochas from. The Hot Chocolate capsule actually has a bit of coffee packed in, and the Mocha Dolce Gusto capsules will work in any Dolce Gusto single serve coffee maker.
At Dolce Gusto Mocha Capsules
We've been thinking a great deal about the Krups Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine as of late. It's one of our favorite single serve coffee machines from last year after we spent many weeks reviewing it, and lately we've had a resurgence in use in the Single Serve Coffee test kitchen. We love how easy it is to use, and how many different types of drinks it can make. One of the key features is milk based drinks like lattes and cappuccinos - and they're both really tasty. If you haven't had a chance to read our review - check it out here. The other main draw is how different it looks on your countertop - just different.
Key Features include:
At Krups Nescafe Dolce Gusto and read our review...
We've been a big fan of the Nescafe Dolce Gusto since we heard about it, and also after reviewing it. We just noticed that all 3 colors of the single serve coffee machine are shipping - Creme, Red, and Black. We think the creme is fitting for a machine that makes amazing lattes and cappuccinos. All three colors have the same set of features, and work with all the coffee capsules available.
At Nescafe Dolce Gusto Single Serve Coffee Machines, Dolce Direct, and Dolce-Gusto
The Nescafe Dolce Gusto (read our full review) or
the Bosch Tassimo Hot Beverage System (read our full review)?
Which one is right for you?
We are currently getting a large number of write ins asking which machine we prefer - the Nescafe Dolce Gusto (read our full review) or the Bosch Tassimo Hot Beverage System (read our full review). We really like both machines, but do understand why some single serve coffee shoppers might be considering one over the other.
The big factor for choosing one machine over the other for most people writing in is price. Both machines are in similar price range - the Bosch Tassimo Hot Beverage System is $139.99 and the Nescafe Dolce Gusto is $169.99, and we can understand why this could be a big factor. The price per single serve coffee cup is also similar, with both machines at the $.50 for a single cup of coffee and the milk based drinks coming in at about $1.00.
As we stated above price is usually a big factor, but we always go on taste and coffee preference. Both machines make very tasty cups of almost all of the hot beverages you would want in a multi-hot beverage system.
The Bosch Tassimo Hot Beverage System can make a large range of drinks including the following:
The Nescafe Dolce Gusto can also make a large variety of drinks including the following:
The big number to think about is also the total number of drinks available. The Nescafe Dolce Gusto has 8 different types of smart capsules you can purchase for it all under the Nescafe coffee brand. The Bosch Tassimo Hot Beverage System has 40+ coffees, teas, and other drinks it can make including coffee from well known brands such as Starbuck's Coffee and Seattle's Best. So if you just picked on the number of drinks the Tassimo is clearly going to give you more choice, but we also always pick on flavor as well.

And with that, we're off on an upstairs/downstairs tour of a 104-year-old bungalow on the north side of Queen Anne. It is both old and new, each in the best of ways.
There in the kitchen is the old breakfast nook. Original many-coats-of-white-painted bench seats surrounding a thoroughly modern table of fin-ply and walnut veneer. It matches the new cabinets Bowie is so crazy about in the otherwise remade kitchen for this young family of three.
"It's modern without being over-the-top dry, sterile modern," Moe says of the combination.
Moe and Thorner had a lot of opportunities to mull their remodel. They bought the house in 2001: "I remember thinking, gosh, we couldn't afford this back then," Thorner says. "Then two years later prices practically doubled."
For eight years they lived in the house as it was, avoiding the finished attic at the top of the killer stairs (each had taken a header to the bottom at least once). But they talked about a better day. A time when the tiny kitchen, laundry, back porch and office would not be a jumbled mess. When the attic would be open and usable.
Fortunately, one of those in on the discussion was longtime friend Kathleen McNeely, an architect (Gray Kat Residential Design Studio) who used to work with both of them at Fremont's Still Life Café and was Moe's bandmate in 11 Phantoms.
"Kathleen was the big-picture vision. Jason Thomson (Corvid General Contractors), Paula Taht (interior designer) and Ashley were the details," Moe says.
The big picture is now a light, bright and economical one. McNeely created a fat galley kitchen open both to the office in the back and to the second floor. She used Ikea cabinets, lowers with custom walnut-veneer fronts, uppers in white, and white quartz counters.
The stairs are now a straightforward, easy-to-climb deal in fir, floated 1/4 of an inch off the wall. At the top is an ethereal master suite with a come-hither view of the large, rectangular Wetstyle tub ("That was my splurge," Thorner says) at the end of the journey through the master bedroom. Walls are the iciest of blue, the shower Milestone beneath a skylight so large it's like washing up outdoors.
Moe and Thorner refinished ancient tongue-and-groove cedar from the attic closet. The wood was reused at the stairwell and in the master-bath ceiling. Nearly all the casework was from Ikea and crafted to fit by Thomson. The sheet-metal wine-storage bins in the kitchen, for example, solved a space-math problem there. "He was definitely a MacGyver," Moe says. He also built sliding barn doors in the master suite and guest room, those using clapboard siding from the back of the house.
In the end, the couple agree it paid off to intimately make the acquaintance of the place they would remake. "You figure out what you like and what has to go," Thorner says. And, thus, everything is now just so, including a new in-floor laundry chute and magnetic office wall.
"We feel so spoiled," she says.

Hough High School
William A. Hough High School opened on August 25, 2010 to meet the needs of the growing population in northern Mecklenburg County. It is built on land on Bailey Road and it is a prototype for future high schools in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system. It consists of 99 classrooms along with a full array of athletic facilities. One of the unique features of our school is the fifteen rain gardens that dot the landscape.

very new to Zimbra (and *nix) no please forgive any newbie errors or mistakes...
I have installed, and finally set up a ZCS open source edition on Ubuntu 10.04
Put it online earlier, created domains, domain aliases, users, forwards -
most of the basic stuff we would need a mail serve to do...
Everything working fine, e-mails sent and received for domain and alias domain (very happy)
decided to enable the "lockout" feature, set the attempts to 3, and time to 15 minutes
After about 1 hour or so, I decided to check the admin e-mail to see if
if there were any important notifications sent.
web mail interface reported an "incorrect password"
(I know I have the correct password entered)
web admin interface also showed incorrect password error...
Q: is this the type of message a user would see if the account is in lockout?
Q: where in the logs can I look to find out if this was a brute force attempt that caused a lockout (if this was the case)
Is this a Zimbra log? or is it logged in Linux?
if the admin account is locked out, how can it be re-set?
through the root user?
(was able to ssh to the server, with Ubuntu username / password, and successfully super user'd to root)
at any rate, got paranoid about this and took the server offline (we have another mail server in use - zimbra is hopefully going to be it's replacement)
I'd like to learn how to check to see if it is a brute force attack, or hack by examining the logs...
Oh, finally...
how exactly does one paste the large amounts of text (i.e. logs) in the forum, where the text pasted has the scroll bars
next to it?

So I checked my chain today - it's measuring 12 1/16. I had replaced it in early October, and I haven't been doing much riding - a hair over 1000 miles since then.
Nothing but new cassettes. In fact, this chain has had three brand new cassettes, don't ask. Completely cleaned twice, lubed about every five days or so.
I've got a 105 chain - it was too cheap at PBK to pass up (~$18) - but recommend a chain that'll last.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, I will be assisting you
Question: Are you creating you own employee handbook?
typo: YOUR own...
Yes. Thank you.
Yes thank you.
Creating your own employee handbook is quite a challenge. Do you use a payroll company?
yes we do but they only do payroll. If you cannot answer that is fine. I will just try SHRM to see if they have a list of Connecticut state laws that should be put into the handbook. Thank you.
The reason why I bring this up is because Connecticut law presumes that employment is at-will and not contractual. However, representations made in employee manuals / handbooks, if not carefully drafted, may be sufficient to create a contractual employment relationship. Once a contractual relationship has been established an employer may terminate that employee only for cause.
"Cause" generally requires an employer to prove that an employee was terminated because of legitimate performance deficiencies, misconduct or other legal justification. In contrast, an employer can terminate an at-will employment relationship for any reason at any time (except for a discriminatory reason)
so as you can see if not drafted carefully the employee handbook can be a double edge sword.
CT does not have specific laws that would need to appear in a handbook rather a general at-will handbook is sufficient
I was looking at laws like Bone marrow donor, breast feeding laws, etc. Thanks again, I will check with SHRM.
these laws generally do not apply to employee and I'm not if they would be relevant in an employee handbook

The Suns' coaching search has included some home-grown talent who played in purple and orange. Next up is one who rooted for the purple and orange.
Phoenix's long-awaited intention to interview San Antonio lead assistant Mike Budenholzer for its head-coaching job is expected to take place in Phoenix on Tuesday, a day after Detroit lead assistant Terry Porter visited for his second interview.
Budenholzer, 38, returns to his home state, where he grew up in basketball country. As much as the Valley's Suns fans adore basketball, Budenholzer's hometown of Holbrook and the northeast Arizona region are crazier about hoops.
Budenholzer grew up on basketball in the 19th century frontier town of about 5,000 people because his father, Vince, was the Holbrook High basketball coach for 18 years and is in the Arizona Coaches Hall of Fame.
"He's always been a gym rat," his father said. "He played all the sports, but basketball was his favorite. . . . He's always been an excellent student of the game. I critiqued him a lot, and I guess it rubbed off."
Budenholzer is the youngest of Vince and Libby Budenholzer's seven children, who are spread about having success in everything but basketball. There is a New York City real-estate developer, a San Diego pharmacist, a Los Angeles chief financial officer, a Scottsdale attorney, an Oracle real-estate agent and a Honolulu teacher.
Budenholzer stuck with basketball, a path that led to Pomona-Pitzer when a coach named Gregg Popovich recruited him in 1988 but left the Division III school before Budenholzer arrived. Popovich became the top assistant for his mentor, Larry Brown, on the San Antonio staff.
Budenholzer stayed and thrived at Pomona and then spent a season as a pro player/coach in Denmark. He returned to the U.S. early in 1994 and looked up Popovich, who was a Golden State assistant and had Budenholzer help out in the Warriors' video room. When Popovich became the Spurs general manager that summer, Budenholzer was a counselor at the Lute Olson Basketball Camp, and Popovich called to make him San Antonio's video coordinator.
Halfway through his second Spurs season, Budenholzer became the NBA's youngest assistant coach at 26. He has spent 12 seasons as a Spurs assistant but was in his first year as lead assistant this season.
"Pop has complete trust in him," Vince Budenholzer said. "He'll come highly recommended from Popovich.
"I'm just as proud of the person he is as much as anything he's done in basketball. He doesn't have a big head. He's down-to-earth and very likeable."

The event has completed.
The event has completed.
Advertising currently faces an epidemic of digital illiteracy. Several generations of professionals have been left behind. Where do they go to learn? For the past decade, employers have underinvested in formal education for employees. Most learn on the job. But many professionals have not advanced their thinking, knowledge or skills to keep pace with technology. This workshop explores ways to design educational programming to infuse digital literacy across your agency.
OverviewWhen it comes to ever-changing digital tools and platforms, people don't know what they don't know, even if they know they need to know more. Still, ignorance or fear may keep your staff from raising their hands to get the help they need, or budgets may limit the kinds of training you can make available.This workshop helps agency leaders understand the components of building an internal training program leveraging skills and competencies they already have on staff to address gaps in learning elsewhere in their organizations.You will learn ways to assess your staff's digital skill levels, gather "buy-in" from the top, use data to shape programming, and gather external and internal talent to instruct and plan a comprehensive program for ongoing digital learning. Become a part of the growing agency movement in talent investment through education and cultural change.
Who Should Attend• Learning and development staff• HR• Department and team leaders• Change-makers and other leadership-types
About Your Seminar LeadersAllison Kent-Smith co-launched Boulder Digital Works, a school for post-graduate digital education. She held director of digital development leadership positions at two agencies – Goodby Silverstein & Partners and Crispin Porter + Bogusky. In 2010, she launched ED, an embedded proprietary digital education program for employees and clients at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco. Dr. Lori Kent is a creativity and adult learning expert and works as learning experience director at smith & beta.

Cinco de Mayo Breakfast EnchiladasOle & Shaina Olmanson
Okay, so Cinco de Mayo is coming, and why not celebrate all day, starting with a proper breakfast of Egg, Sausage, and Pepper Breakfast Enchiladas? Of course, if you can't get your act together by Saturday, I could give you a pass until the following Sunday, as these enchiladas would be worthy of Mother's Day, too.
To make a vegetarian version, omit the chorizo sausage and cook the peppers and onion in a drizzle of olive oil, then fold into the egg mixture a 15-ounce can of rinsed and drained black beans.
Egg, Sausage, and Pepper Breakfast Enchiladas
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeño pepper, diced (optional)
6 large eggs
1 tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. ground black pepper
1½ cups shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
8 9″ flour tortillas
1 cup whole milk
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. ground cumin
Salsa, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with cooking spray; set aside. Brown chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Add red and yellow bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño pepper (if using) and cook 6 to 8 minutes, or until onion is soft and translucent. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper; stir in 1 cup cheese and chorizo mixture.
Lay a tortilla flat on a large plate. Spoon ½ to â…" cup of the egg and sausage mixture in a line down the center of tortilla. Roll up tortilla tightly and place seam side down in baking dish, nestled against the short side of dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
To make sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cornstarch, and cumin. Stir in remaining ½ cup cheese and pour over enchiladas. (At this point, the casserole can be baked immediately or covered and refrigerated overnight.)
Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until eggs are cooked and enchiladas are deep golden brown. Serve immediately with salsa and sour cream.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. New Jersey
Poor Timberwolves. Last season the young squad lost star center Al Jefferson to a torn Achilles tendon and finished with a dismal 24-58 record, making them better than only Oklahoma City in their division (by one measly game). Then in the offseason they drafted Spanish wunderkind Ricky Rubio. That was all for naught, at least for two more years, as getting Rubio out of his Spanish league contract has proved too difficult. But new Timberwolves president David Kahn at least gets an A for effort; he traveled to Spain twice to work with Rubio and his agent. Still, with Jefferson recovered from ACL surgery, this season is looking to be at least a little better than last year's disaster. Well, maybe not. The Wolves' young center Kevin Love broke his left hand during preseason action, so he will be out for several weeks. But that's not all. Jefferson has recently missed practice due to soreness in his Achilles tendon. So, to recap: Hot-shot draft pick is blowing away the competition across the pond, Love is out with a busted hand, and Jefferson is iffy at best. Yes, the Timberwolves' 21st season is looking like it will be a challenging one for fans and new head coach Kurt Rambis.

Having spent their entire working lives in the food and hospitality industry - both locally and internationally - new owners, Kurt and Petra Schramm, have all the right qualifications to firmly place Alpenstube on the destination restaurant map in the picturesque surrounds of Hout Bay. Much needed improvements include a new front patio, a revamped outside bar and beer garden, and a fireplace for the cold winters.
Alpenstube offers a very versatile indoor-outdoor dining experience where you can relax and savour an imported German draught beer in the garden, have coffee and homemade pastries on the front patio, and enjoy a leisurely lunch or intimate dinner in the cosy interior. Aside from its large following of locals who carry them through the winter months, Alpenstube is fortunate to have many overseas visitors – German, Dutch and English - who, like the swallows, return year after year to their favourite Hout Bay haunt.
Now open at lunch time, the well-priced menu features traditional specialties such as Geschnetzeltes, thinly sliced port fillet in a creamy mushroom sauce, alongside light meals such as the Chef's Burger, seasonal salads and a couple of soups. Master Chef Kurt has thoughtfully included several menu items specifically for children so that Alpenstube can be enjoyed by the whole family.
The signature dish must surely be the traditional Eisbein, but please call in advance to check availability. Other dinner recommendations are the grilled Fillet Steak, as well as Schnitzels to suit all tastes – pork, veal and chicken. You will also find fresh fish on the menu when available from the harbor. The pastries, desserts and cakes are all homemade, so why not indulge in whatever takes your fancy.

Must-tries for mains are the lamb shanks in saffron curry and the slow-cooked, pot-roasted Karoo lamb with dried spices.
Vegetarians are definitely not forgotten and for every dish that contains meat, there is one that doesn't. Try cottage cheese dumplings and green pea curry, or apricot and potato cakes with yogurt and sweet chutney.

The Great Mirror
Random Image: Where was this picture taken?
Take three or four trips a year. After 20 or 30 years, what do you have? A couple of passports stuffed with full-page visas. Memories of this place and that. The beginnings of memory failure. Probably more than the beginnings.
What then? Of course you took a camera, but you never had the time to wait for the right light. You didn't even have the time to master your point-and-shoot beyond the most elementary commands. Now you are using a museum piece that, tens of thousands of pictures later, just keeps clicking, testimony to Japanese manufacturing. Worse, you hardly ever took pictures of people, even though people (to paraphrase the song) are more interested in people than in anything else. What was your excuse? You weren't comfortable sticking a camera in people's faces? You didn't have enough time to win a subject's trust? Bah!
Whatever. Whatever. And so now you have a zillion images of things you saw--and nowhere to put them except on memory sticks and social media happy to welcome your property as theirs.
And so you arrive at your fate: your very own website, loaded with just your pictures, grouped and described as you like, sometimes sketchily and sometimes in detail that is almost scholarly. It's your secret library, almost unknown to the search engines purring in darkness.

Wonderfull feet !!!!
Rachel Bilson has been on our style radar since she showed up on The O.C. back in 2003, and we've loved watching her wardrobe grow and evolve over the last decade. In fact, if we could raid her entire closet, we totally would. Bilson's style is a little girly, a little edgy, sometimes boyish, and always on trend. Plus, she tops every outfit off with a gorgeous head of hair and a perfect smokey eye. Really, what's not to love? In case you haven't been
obsessing following Bilson's outfit choices as closely as we have, we've compiled a few of our favorite looks for a little fashion-forward inspiration. And, of course, we couldn't resist putting together our own version of a look inspired by the SoCal native.
Our version:scalloped lace tulle dress, leather jacket, lace-up suede booties Photos courtesy of Pinterest.
What do you think of Rachel Bilson's style? What celebrities have you been style crushing on lately?
Wonderfull feet !!!!
My styler crush is actually a boy.. with a great sense of style! Tyler Glenn! http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n2a0OwHv1qct9tmo1_1280.jpg
