Because in his one start he amassed 7 wins, apparently.
Because I update my location with our current record and have a comment about the last game.
Last week it said Disgusted, before that it said lookout for michael crabtree, before that I forgot.
Why read into it? lol.

I dont want another rookie returning punts for us in the playoffs like last season. Why can't tedd ginn do punts and kick offs??
He can, and likely will, but we need a quality backup in case Ted gets hurt (I'm guessing LaMichael will fill that role). Ted is currently dealing with a sprained wrist. Most figure he'll be good to play, but it is not certain as of now.
By the way, Kyle Williams wasn't a rookie last year. He was a second year player.
Barrows reporting Hunter's ankle serious, team considering activating Jewel Hampton
Matt Barrows says that he is hearing that Hunter's ankle injury is serious. That's not good. He's more important to this team than people realize.

carbonettis has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey Monks,
I would like to write a subroutine to look for command-line arguments such as -help, -h, and --help. I wanna call my subrutine from a main program and the thing is: if I give the program any of the named command-line arguments, when you
pass them into the subroutine it should return a true value. If this is the case, the program should print out a help message in a $USAGE variable and exit.
My try is:
But it looks like not working and I cannot find the reason. Any ideas? when I run it it returns "syntax error at ex4HW01.pl line 13, near "0;" THANKS!

Property type | villa |
Minimum Stay | 3 - 7 nights |
A picturesque and charming finca, Las Rosas is located at the foot of the hills between Puerto Pollenca and the sandy beaches of Cala San Vicente. The main property consists of two double bedrooms, both en-suite. There is a cozy atmosphere attached to the lounge and fitted kitchen, both lead onto a paved terrace that surrounds a large and ornate swimming pool.(15mx6m) The guest house, attached to the main house, comprises a double bedroom, bathroom and lounge all with garden and pool views. As its name suggests, colorful and fragrant flowers adorn the entrance to Las Rosas, and adjacent to the pool and landscaped gardens, maintained and secluded lawns are ideal for children or sunbathers. The sheltered barbeque area always enjoys the evening sun, making it a romantic spot for 'Al-fresco' dining. The 'Mallorcan' tiled sun deck provides a spectacular setting, overlooking the Mediterranean fruit tress and grape vines that adorn the private grounds. Less than a 10min walk to restaurants.
Mallorca/Pollenca: A 45 minute drive from the airport and Palma in the north of Mallorca lies the delightful municipality of Pollensa and the Port of Pollensa / Puerto Pollensa – a spectacular combination of sandy beaches, turquoise crystalline waters and beautiful countryside against a backdrop of stunning mountain scenery. As more and more people are discovering, Pollensa in Majorca is a delightfully unspoilt haven enticing families and couples to return year after year to this ideal holiday spot.
Puerto Pollenca/Cala San Vicente: The picturesque countryside around Pollensa is a colorful mixture of fertile fruit orchards and lightly wooded glades, bordered by hills to the south and dramatic rocky outcrops of Mallorca's northern mountains. Contained within ten square kilometers, the region stretches along the coast to Alcudia from the golden beaches of Puerto Pollensa and inland to the quaint, historic small town of Pollensa itself. To the north the shores of Puerto Pollensa and Cala San Vicente are fringed with kilometers of golden sand with water sports and ideal sun bathing for the more relaxing holiday. Both Puerto Pollensa and Pollensa offer a good selection of restaurants, ranging from cafes and tapas bars to fine dining. Pollensa, apart from its pretty square has the Via Crucis which is a notable attraction with its long stairway which ascends Calvary Hill, from which there are superb views over the coast. Puerto Pollensa is a pretty, unaffected resort that is a firm favorite with families.
Golf Information: The Pollensa Golf Club is open to non members. The challenging 9 hole courses have been described as some of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean, with a clubhouse, a restaurant which also welcomes non-golfers, a swimming pool, rental of clubs, trolleys and golf cars also available. Tuition can be arranged and there are regular tournaments.
We had a lovely stay at Las Rosas. The weather was excellent given that it was February, so we made a lot of use of the beautiful garden and terrace. The house is in an excellent position, close to the town but in a quiet location and with a country feel. It took only 15 mins stroll to reach the sea. The heating in the house was good so that in the chilly evenings the house was cosy and warm. Daniel was extremely helpful when we had any enquiry.
Last year we had the idea to spend Christmas and New Year in a house on Mallorca. We had never rented a house before and had searched the internet for hours to finally find Daniel's house. For us it was like love at first sight. The house with its beautiful bougainvillea, the garden, the whole setting was as we had expected it. The kitchen well equipped, the rooms cosy, a lovely garden with a nice and clean pool – the water pretty cold though! The weather couldn't have been better. Almost every day sunny and warm. So we often had lunch in the garden and enjoyed reading outside. We had a wonderful time and can
highly recommend "Las Rosas". Daniel is a great and considerate host and he went through great efforts to make our stay a memorable one.
Werner and Monica, Switzerland
The only thing disappointing about this holiday when we arrived was the weather as it was very overcast followed by a couple of days of rain. The grounds have been accurately photographed and I would say the the internal photos don't do the villa justice as it was surprisingly large. The grounds and villa were clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and crockery. When the sun finally came out the garden really came into its own and is very pretty. There is lots of space to relax, a dining area, a garden, a roof terrace and around the poolside. The pool was freezing at this time of year as was expected but I expect it's fantastic in the summer. It's a 10 minute walk to the local supermarket Eroski which is much better value than the Spar shops along the front. It's about a 20 minute walk to the sea front. From the garden you get a picturesque view of the mountains behind and the local area is quiet and peaceful. So if you want the tranquility of a rural retreat but don't want to hire a car this is perfect. Daniel made sure everything was ok at the beginning of the holiday. I thoroughly recommend this rental property. Thank you for renting us your villa Daniel.
We came to stay with friends. We occupied the smaller house which suited us very well. The beds were comfortable and we had our own bathroom. The pool was a very good size. We didn't have a car and could walk very easily into town with all the seaside restaurants you could wish for. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly with any queries we had. The Kitchen was fairly well equipped.
This villa comes highly recommended for all - young, old, families or just 3 couples looking for a memorable holiday. The finca is timeless in character, charming inside and astonishing outside. The pool and outside eating area are truly amazing and it will not be long before we shall be rebooking! The location makes this holiday villa perfect for access to the main square and beach plus Pinewalk and even my 6 year old daughter managed the 15 minute walk without a moan! Great communication with Daniel before, during and after our stay, making the whole process very easy. Thank you Daniel!
Had a great time at 'Las Rosas'. The location is great - quiet with wonderful views over the countryside. The finca has a lovely garden and pool as and we enjoyed using the outdoor bbq several nights.
It's about a 20 minute walk to the seafront where most of the restaurants are, and a good base to drive to other beaches. We went with a toddler and found Pollensa very child-friendly.
Highly recommended and I'm sure we'll be back!
With fantastic soft sandy beaches, beautiful countryside and rugged mountain scenery, Pollenca is the idyllic retreat. Puerto Pollenca, a picturesque resort, which curves around a magnificent bay edged with a fabulous sandy beach, is ideal for families and couples alike. Las Rosas is the perfect retreat, and is just a 10 minute walk to the beaches and restaurants. Very secluded in beautiful grounds.

"We are thrilled to add the premier San Francisco area airport to our route map this summer. Customers have been clamoring for service to the City by the Bay and we are delighted to satisfy those cravings for sourdough, chocolate, and trolley cars for less. Providing low fares, great service and brand new planes isn't virgin territory for Spirit. San Francisco will be our 29th city and we see blue skies ahead for a great start of service this May."

The realities underlying the immigration debate are that we have more than enough people, more than enough imported poor people (see The Characteristics of Unauthorized Immigrants in California, Los Angeles County, and the United States by Karina Fortuny et al; the February 9, 2006 report by the California Legislative Analysts Office (LAO) on efficacy of border police; the Analysis of the California 2001-02 Budget Bill by the LAO), and more than enough imported criminals (read about Jamiel Shaw, Kate Steinle, Juan Francisco De Luna Vasquez, ); consider the disproportionate medicare fraud, food stamp fraud, and mortgage fraud by recent arrivals from cultures in which crime and fraud are normal - look up Glendale medicare fraud. Look up HHS OIG Most Wanted.
George Rockwell has a valid point. We should also implement the visa entry exit system that was legislated years ago. It has been 17 years since the entry-exit system was first enacted in the 1996 immigration bill.
However. the forces for easy entry are wealthy and powerful. Look up Gelbaum and the Sierra Club. Look up Clinton, Huang, andJames Riady.
About this 'Wall' business, and the illegals it is supposed to keep out: Sweep it aside for a moment and riddle me this--Why is there NEVER a discussion about what is required to become a LEGAL immigrant? What do these wretches have to do that they haven't or won't,.. present a fortune in fees, fill out forms in legible English, grease the right consular/embassy palms (as if..), and wait, and wait, and wait, like in 'Casablanca'? This aspect really should be admitted as evidence.. for the source of the problem. Well, one source, the other being US' Monrovian foreign policy..
I agree George needs a hug and Micheal comes off as an angry troll. Your not helping the liberal cause spewing venom. You make us sound as bad as the otherside dude. Open your mind and your ass will follow.
george rockwell has the problem all bigots and fools suffer...
belief in his own stunted humanity and lack of informed real world solutions... racist and jingoist with a touch of sexist nonsense for distraction... a black female, namely Rep. Barbara Lee has been the voice for reason and justifiable restraint from hatred and war mongering just for one prominent example... george rockwell has not made any convincing points to justify his ignorance... george rockwell is a constant embarrassment to any sentient being...
I totally agree with Clarence C. Johnson. Did NOT understand the brouhaha about where in the building the affordable units were located. I'd like to point out some advantages of living on lower floors: Residents of the lower floors will spend less time waiting for elevators, will possibly be able to walk the stairs to and from their apartments whenever they want to, and will be able to get in and out a lot faster than residents of the upper floors. Upper floor residents will have better views. Life is a trade-off.
Jerry. How old are you? Have you ever served in the military? Worked as a paramedic? Assisted in a soup kitchen? I hope you provide yourself with the opportunity to engage with the human race as a complete human, to experience him/she/their/it suffering first hand. Your nonchalant critiques are cruel.
Jerry, and other people that fall for these right wind talking points, are ultimately spending a lot more money than they would be if we had a better welfare state. They'd rather be spiteful about those in dire straits than realize how much of their tax dollars go to making the rich richer, and how little those rich people pay.
What should be recalled about Biffs was its Colossus of Rhodes goofy sign. That was worth preserving, but it was the first thing to go. The other iconic beacon, also on Broadway, was the sign for Daves Coffee Shop. That too just seemed to disappear overnight. Not so strange is the fact that it was purchased by the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art. Both signs had a friendly, folksy zing to them. The friendly, folksy zing seems to be an element in short supply.

A 1320 in good shape really ought to do fairly well, as the load is only about 10-11C. However, I did notice a touch more oomph in the same model (not a Seawind) going from a 3S 1320 TP prolite to a 3S Dualsky 1700, and both packs were on their third cycle and were bought at the same time. |
Latest blog entry: 2014 events and travel
I just finished mine tonight, using a berg 4l mounted forward as is the 25 amp heli-max speed control and rimfire motor. Would not balance with the 1320 as I was hoping, a 2200 align 20c all the way forward was the ticket, as was the 2100 TP, I was getting about 7050 rpm with the stock prop and 11.5 amps peak, about 135 watts. AUW is around 20 ounces-20.5.
Hoping to maiden tomorrow. Kit went together nicely, no real modifications, did some hinge tape over the wing joints above and below to seal out water. Crud, I just realized I never glued in the servo tray, it was a nice snug press fit...........good thing I decided to type this up.........man, don't work on planes when tired. Frank |
There must be some differences in molded fuse weight, or something....perhaps in the weight of paint applied.
My Berg 4L is under the wing and my lighter 3S 1700 is not all the way forward in the battery compartment and I am making the stock CG.......which I still think it a little conservative on the part of GP. I am going to pull the CG back about 1/8-3/16 this weekend on the next flights. |
Latest blog entry: 2014 events and travel
Maiden this morning....
What a Sweatheart! I put in two flights with an Align 2100 20C 3S and a TP 2100 3S 12C pack. CG was spot on, plane was very stable, could probably move it back to get better snaps.
I was worried that the 8x6 prop wouldn't be sufficient, I checked it at 7050 rpm, thrusthp said about .6 pounds of thrust, however the plane flew great. Takeoff was pretty uneventful. I did notice you do have to hold full up elevator and keep the throttle up to get good steering response when taxiing. If you don't hold the tail down with throttle/elevator it doesn't respond well. I was also worried that the throws were a little on the low side, but I found that the low rates were quite good and I only used high rate for faster rolls. The ailerons were quite effective on takeoff, as soon as a little speed is built up you can use them easily to keep the wings level. This plane has a very nice scale takeoff run, it isn't short, won't shoot off the water, but it accellerates quickly, I found holding full up elevator, it tracked very straight, if it did catch a wingtip, it just yawed, and didn't do anything drastic. So, hold full up elevator, full throttle, keep wings level and let it break off the water. Flying at half throttle was nice and easy and kept altitude, if you don't bank too hard. Split Esses at 60% throttle were nice and big, rolls took a bit of down elevator when inverted. If flies inverted very well, nice outside loops. I did notice that even with the large amount of throw on full rates the rudder isn't very effective in the air, you can't really fly it rudder/elevator only, and it didn't want to do stall turns well. landing was a piece of cake, chop throttle on downwind, gentle turn to base and final, keep the nose level and let it slow, I greased a few landings, and a few stalled a few inches above the water and it just plopped and skipped a couple of times, but never dug the nose in. All in all a real pleasure to assemble, and fly, a nice generic aerobatic seaplane! Frank |
I picked up one from my LHS today. Overall a pretty good kit although a bit pricey (by about $15) for foam. I was impressed with the amount of finishing done and not a lot of shipping rash. I got the recommended Rimfire 28-30-950. Everything fit just fine except that the pushrod for the elevator is too short! I got two rudder pushrods. No big worries, just a hassle. Otherwise it would be a one night build.
Jim |
I ran into one other problem.
I noticed that my wing did not seem to lock down tightly and I found that the hold down screw was not long inough to extend into it's hardpoint enough. I went ahead and popped off the little foam wing support because I was going to glue on a taller hardwood block for the screw to meet. What I found was that there was a 3mm steel blind nut in there, but the hold down screw is a wood screw. I am going to have to find a 3mm machine screw long enough to reach the blind nut. Or just replace the entire wing mount set up with something else. Did everyone else have a wood screw for the hold down screw? Tim |
That's interesting, yes I had a wood screw, or at least a very coarse machine screw, mine also didn't feel real snug, till I held the wing down tight and carefully tightened it down till it was bottomed out fully, I didn't dig around and see a blind nut since I saw it was a wood screw I think my attachment is pretty snug, and I don't see that I'll ever need to pull the wing off any time soon, In fact I taped over all the wing joints to keep water out.

Editors' Review
+Although it delivers information from some of the most well-known sources to gauge link popularity, the interface design makes it a bit awkward to see all the info provided. And Link Popularity Checker only exports information in .CSV format.
Link Popularity Checker's interface is professionally designed, but the ads and links to increase site traffic hint at this free tool's true purpose. It is easy to navigate, even with no Help file in sight. Command buttons line the top of the interface and allow you to quickly add URLs, get data, and export it. The final of the fourth buttons says simply Make Money, and we wish it was as easy as clicking a button. The link led to a site that was no longer available. As for Link Popularity Checker's primary stated purpose, it displayed information for Google Page Rank, Alexa Traffic Ranks, and other link- and page-ranking data. The information is displayed in a spreadsheet-style window, and you can resize the window and the columns. You can read numbers fine, but sometimes only text is displayed. The text doesn't wrap and you can't always resize the column to read it all. Your only export option is in .CSV format, and we would have liked to see other file formats. The interface also has links to "Create A Instant Avalanche of Free Website Traffic" and "Get Thousands of High Quality, 1 way links To Your Site," and unlike the Make Money button, these links worked. The sites, however, had that get-rich-quick look about them.
Link Popularity Checker is free, and it does give you some information about the popularity of a URL, but we tend to stay away from tools that seem to be selling something else besides what they promise.

Lil' Wayne GETS GROUNDED By His Doctor + Rita Ora ROCKS THE STAGE On "Late Show" + 50 Cent BREAKS UP The Money Team
Rapper Lil' Wayne has been ordered to stay out of the friendly skies following his two health scares. Get the deets inside and find out about 50 Cent disbanding The Money Team (TMT) and see Rita Ora on "The Late Show."
As Lil' Wayne recovers at his mom's home, he's been grounded by his doctors and ordered to stay out of airplanes. We told you earlier about Weezy's two health scares while in the air, so now he's only going to be traveling by bus.
Sources close to him say he's been to the doctor twice since getting out of the hospital and has nurses who check on him regularly.
Though he's still recovering, his reps say he plans to take a luxury bus to his home in Miami where he will continue to get rest and get better.
Get well Weezy!
And on late night television....
Rita Ora, who just went public with her relationship with Rob Kardashian, performed her hit track "R.I.P" on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night. The track appears on her debut, ORA. She later tweeted, "letterman was awsoooome!"
In other music news.....
50 Cent has been dropping a few bombshells on Twitter lately, but unlike the old days, his barbs aren't aimed at fellow rappers.
He's revealed that TMT (The Money Team) has broken up and ironicallly....money was one of the reasons for the split. And now that TMT is no longer....he's discounting TMT merchandise. And to add salt to the wound, he's selling some of his personal TMT items for a dollar. WOMP.
So what led to this? Well for starters, 50 is getting into the boxing game, as a promoter, and working with Manny Pacquiao. This business relationship couldn't have done much for his bromance with Floyd Mayweather (especially since Manny is his chief rival and there are rumors Floyd and 50 aren't getting along). Sigh......
We wonder if 50 is working with Manny strictly to make money or is this to get under Floyd's skin? Kowing Fif....it's a little of both.

Tuesday Tomlin
Tomlin said Holmes spoke with his teammates Monday afternoon and he will be back in the starting linup next Monday night against Washington.
He also said on more than one occasion he wants the media to let this one go. That, of course, can't happen. But it does kind of show how Tomlin wants to try to control things.
Holmes will likely offer up a no comment Wednesday, but Tomlin has to understand, we have to ask him about it.
© Ryan Clark will open the week as doubtful, though Tomlin said Clark was better than the team anticipated.
Tyrone Carter will likely start if Clark can't play, showing just how far Anthony Smith has fallen in the pecking order.
© Willie Parker worked out on Tuesday morning and according to Tomlin looked good. But Tomlin has been optimistic before. They'll see how he is Wednesday before getting too excited.
© Tomlin was pressed about the return game and said Najeh Davenport is their best/only option at this point. If Parker returns, however, Mewelde Moore could go back to returning kickoffs.
© The team will sign a long snapper today. They also have a punter ready if Mitch Berger is not ready to go this week.

why the freak is dookie the only option at KR? if and when parker is back, dookie should be cut. holmes can return punts with moore as KR.
- Dale Lolley said...
They're not sure Parker will be back yet.
Retofsky was signed as the new long snapper.
I can't believe they won't give Anthony Smith another shot. He showed signs of being a great player, but he just needed to mature (in several ways). Tyrone Carter should be nothing but a special teamer at this point in his career. I agree with a lot that this coaching staff does, but this is surprising to me.
- Patrick said...
the anthony smith thing bothers me too. It seems like this has become a personal thing and not a talent issue. If he is still in the doghouse, then just release him and stop wasting everyone's time.
Ask yourself, is anything Smith has done worse than what Santonio just did?
If its based on talent, fine, but I have a hard time beleiving Smith is less of a talent then Ty Carter.
As long as Davenport doesn't fumble the kickoffs and gets around the 20-30, then I'm fine with it. We don't have a goodkick returner that isn't a starter. Have to deal with that. - 7:58 PM
- Dale Lolley said...
Smith isn't a talent thing? Did you see his performance overall last year? He blew more than his share of assignments. Tyrone Carter is limited to be sure, but they just don't trust Smith to handle his coverages.
- Patrick said...
thats fair, but we also saw Carter in he playoff game look like he was glued to the ground.
If they think Carter is just that much more dependable, then I'm ok with the reasons. But I think we'll see Carter exploited and I almost hope we see Smith. Its his last chance for sure, maybe he'll step up. I will say the Manning pass to Toomer was pretty much perfect, but Carter definitely was a step behind. But that pass might be completed no matter what. - 8:46 PM
- Dale Lolley said...
It was pretty much a perfect pass. No guarantee that Clark gets there, either.
I'm no Ty Carter fan. I'm just telling you what their thinking is. - 11:08 PM
Personally I would roll the dice with Smith and let him start. Sure he's had some brain farts, but at least he has the skills to make plays and big hits that can change a game... Yes, I know, he can change a game in the other direction too, but Carter will be dressed anyway, so if Smith blows an assignment or two, he can be pulled.

WEATHER: More or less the exact same as yesterday, except maybe a little more sunshine. A nice day with the wind blowing in.
UMPIRES: HP Sam Holbrook, 1B Todd Tichenor, 2B Gerry Davis, 3B Greg Gibson
HUGHES REHAB: Phil Hughes is schedule to make a rehab start on Sunday for short-season Staten Island. The game will be at Brooklyn. On Tuesday he threw 49 pitches in an extended spring training intrasquad game.
STILL A RELIEF: The Yankees bullpen has gone through a series of injuries, but the team still has the lower bullpen ERA in the American League (2.84) and the third lowest in the Majors behind San Diego (2.46) and Atlanta (2.57).
ON THIS DATE: On June 18, 2005, Derek Jeter hit the only grand slam of his Major League career. It came off the Cubs' Joe Borowski in an 8-1 Yankees win at Yankee Stadium. Jeter had previous hit 156 career homers, the most by any active player and any Yankee before finally hitting a grand slam.
UPDATE, 4:33 p.m.: Wasted opportunity for the Yankees in the top of the first. Burnett stranded a runner in the bottom half.
UPDATE, 5:05 p.m.: There's some production from the big hitters in this lineup. RBI double by Cano. Deep sac fly by Swisher. Granderson and Rodriguez have scored for a 2-0 Yankees lead in the third.
UPDATE, 5:27 p.m.: Granderson has reached base three times already.
UPDATE, 5:37 p.m.: The Yankees are pretty familiar with Carlos Pena. This two-run homer in the fourth has tied the game at 2.
UPDATE, 6:11 p.m.: Huge double play for Burnett to get out of the fifth inning. Still tied at two.
UPDATE, 6:25 p.m.: Leadoff single by Nunez has led to a run and a Yankees lead. Sac bunt, runner-advancing single and a sac fly have put the Yankees in front 3-2 in the sixth.
UPDATE, 6:38 p.m.: Obviously Jeter's range is bad, but is there any chance he would have botched that DP ball? Any chance at all?
UPDATE, 6:42 p.m.: Wow. Wade got the ground ball he needed, but Cano did exactly what Nunez did, he tried to throw the ball before he caught the ball.
UPDATE, 6:46 p.m.: Wow. Again. On target throw by Gardner, nice job by Martin to hold on through a big collision.
UPDATE, 6:57 p.m.: Here's Hector Noesi. New seventh-inning guy?

Second day back at work. I'm struggling trying to find a routine to balance work, school, writing, working out, AND SLEEP. I have to fit these in and be able to get 7 to 8 hours sleep, else I'm no good. I hear people all the time talking about how they can get by with only 4 or 5 hours of sleep each day. Okay, I do not find this admirable at all. LOL And that's not something that I'm striving to do. I want to balance my priorities, and still give my body (and muscles) the proper time to get well rested so I can be as fully alert as possible.
Today I'm going to try 10 - 15 minutes of strength training this mnorning, schoolwork (complete a discussion question and a response) and writing (minimum 1000 words) after work. Debating on whether I can do 40 minutes of cardio this evening.
I'm determined to find the proper balance to complete my goals in each area of my life this year.

Tom Binder wanted to prepare for the future--including the possibility that he or his wife could be stricken by a long, debilitating illness in the years ahead.
"I don't think it's a good bet that you're just going to drop dead," said Binder, 50, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based art dealer. "What if you suffer a stroke in your 60s or 70s, and through the miracles of medicine you live into your 90s?"That was my worst-case scenario: that I would linger for many years."
To make sure that he could survive financially, Binder made a purchase that has become increasingly common for a generation that once focused almost obsessively on being young: He agreed to pay $4,500 a year for insurance to cover the costs of long-term care for him and his wife, Betsy Cantor.
Advocates of the insurance say it offers needed protection and peace of mind in an era of greater longevity and rising health-care costs. Nonetheless, some experts warn consumers to proceed with caution.
"If you can afford it, it's a good thing," said Glenn Kantor, a Northridge, Calif., lawyer who specializes in insurance issues. "But there are lots of caveats."
Most policies reserve the option to increase premiums, and rate hikes as high as 40 percent have shocked purchasers--in some cases forcing retirees to quit their plans or scale back coverage.
Some consumers also have complained of excessive waits for payment or that insurers have resisted paying legitimate claims.
Despite those potential drawbacks, proponents say good reasons exist for considering long-term-care coverage, especially for those without relatives willing to see them through a long bout of frailty.
Nursing home care can cost $75,000 or more a year, leaving once-middle-class people dependent on Medicaid, a program for poor Americans. And hiring someone for help at home with the most basic chores of living--bathing, dressing and eating--can ravage a lifetime of savings. Long-term-care insurance can enhance people's options for the help they need to survive, at home or in an institution.
"If you want to get care at home, you can get it. You have choice and control," said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance in Westlake Village, Calif.
"People still look at this as a purely financial product," he said, "but the intangible benefits are worth their weight in gold."Plans vary widely in cost, in how soon benefits may take effect and how much money a person might have to pay out of pocket should care be needed. That means consumers need to pay attention to the fine print before they buy.
A typical long-term-care policy offers various provisions, each of which can affect the cost and has the potential to confuse consumers, experts said.
Most policies provide a set daily benefit, often in the range of $100 to $150. They also come with waiting periods that must elapse before benefits begin, commonly 60 to 90 days. Benefits are typically restricted to a set number of years and are triggered only by certain events, such as the onset of severe dementia or the inability to perform certain basic living tasks.
A typical policy purchased by a 60-year-old in 2005 cost about $2,000, but consumers can spend less or substantially more, depending on the policy's various provisions.
Consumer advocates strongly recommend that people buy inflation protection. You might not make a claim for 20 years or more, and over that much time the value of your benefits could be eviscerated by inflation.
Beyond that, unknowable developments--such as changes in medical technology and advances in treating chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease--can make it impossible to be certain that a long-term-care policy bought today will meet a person's needs in the future, said John Rother, director of policy and strategy for AARP.
The odds of needing long-term care are yet another wild card for consumers. About two-thirds of people 65 or older may require such help during their lives, researchers say. But about one-third will never need it. Of those who do need care, about 3 in 10 will require it for two years or less.
Out-of-pocket payments, Medicaid and help from relatives all remain larger sources of care for those who need it. About 8 million long-term-care policies are in force, covering a fraction of the nation's older population.
Experts say buying such coverage is a personal decision. The insurance may be less valued by those with modest savings to protect, and the richer you are, the greater likelihood that you can cover your own care costs.
Complaints by beneficiaries--centering on rejected claims and slow reimbursements--have further complicated the decision, prompting Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) to recently ask large insurers for details on how they process claims.
Supporters of the industry insist that horror stories are rare exceptions. Overall, just 3.3 percent of claims are denied, said Mohit Ghose, a spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade group. "The vast majority of claims are paid," he said.
A flurry of rate hikes in the 1990s and since 2000 also has caused controversy. Industry advocates say such increases mostly reflected growing pains of insurers that were still learning about the real costs and risks of products introduced in the 1970s and 1980s.
Consumer critics say the price increases often followed "low-ball" premiums, cynically intended to draw in customers.
Though insurers cannot raise rates on individual policies, they can raise rates for entire categories of policyholders--based on age, for example--and records show that a portion of the industry has done so.
The price hikes are not universal, however, and the three biggest providers of such coverage--representing about 70 percent of the market--have shown restraint.
Among the top three, for example, John Hancock and MetLife have never raised premiums on the long-term-care policies they have issued. Genworth Financial, the industry leader, recently applied for its first increase, which will average 10 percent and affect just under half of its current long-term-care policies.
Companies that made the biggest errors in pricing "have largely left the market," said Laura Moore, president of John Hancock's long-term-care business.
Despite such issues, the industry may be finding an increasingly receptive market among Baby Boomers.
"We're all experiencing the same phenomenon," Moore said. "People are starting to have experience with LTC situations with their parents, and they're saying, `I don't want this to happen to me.' "
Younger consumers who opt for the insurance have certain advantages. They are more likely to be accepted for coverage than older counterparts. And when they get it, their premiums will be cheaper.
Researchers at Georgetown University found, for example, that one policy that cost 50-year-olds an average of $2,447 in 2005 shot up to $6,178 for applicants who had hit 70.
The industry is counting on people like Sharon Taylor, 45, to keep sales growing. When her husband died a year ago she confronted tough questions about surviving on her own and ultimately chose to buy a long-term-care policy.
"At first you don't want to hear about it because it's creepy--the whole thing," said Taylor, a Chatsworth, Calif., resident who types closed captions for television. But "I don't want to be a burden on someone," she said, and, "I'm not one to leave something like that to chance."

Oh, Venice Beach....what can I say about this place that has not
50 comments:
GORGEOUS! I grew up in SOFL and this reminds me a little of South Beach Miami... but still i'm sure it's totally unique all on it's own.
I'm so bummed that the USMC isnt letting us move to Cali -- they chose NC for us over San Diego. Womp Womp!
Jenn @ Peas & CrayonsVal, I love the photos so much! I think I need to visit California someday and Venice Beach is a must-see. Lots of lovely ice falling from the sky here today to lay on top of the massive snowfall that we got this weekend. 1-3 inches predicted for Saturday night ended up somewhere around 8 inches instead and that was on top of the foot or so that we got on Friday. :)
Thank you for the tour! CandaceThese gorgeous pictures have me yearning for summer! We're fortunate to live by the ocean, too, BUT, it's a tad bit chillier here. :( You're so fortunate to have such beautiful weather! Thanks for sharing such wonderful pics. And, thank you for your super sweet note about my dining room! Have a great day, Becca

That's why I like using the method of slab-built. I use slabs of clay like paper. Because of the limitations of the shape I can make, using my method sometimes brings me interesting shapes of pots. Then I get inspired by those shapes and make new work."

Rodrigo (not his real name) sits at the table and looks at his hands as if searching for answers. They are lined and calloused from a life of hard work as a subsistence farmer. Speaking clearly in a steady and measured voice so as not to miss any detail, he mentions his farm more a smallholding on the Colombian Pacific coast. He talks of his 12 hectares where he harvested bananas, papaya and coconuts. And he remembers his small motorised chalupa from which he would fish, and a far-away gaze transports him there.
Home is a long way from this table in the offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the south-western city of Cali.
Home is a place he has had to flee, in fear of death by one of the many armed groups that operate in the country. Home is a place he is unlikely to revisit until the complexities that make the Colombian conflict a Byzantine quagmire can be resolved or, at the very least, clarified and unravelled. The Colombian government estimates there could be as many as three million internally displaced people, or IDPs, like Rodrigo in the country.
"Since March 2006 the situation of displaced persons living in remote areas has unfortunately not changed," says Barbara Hintermann, head of the ICRC delegation in Colombia, speaking in the head office in Bogota. "We have assisted more IDPs in 2007 and I believe that next year the situation will be no different."
Statistics compiled by the ICRC show that in 10 years of working with displaced people in Colombia, up to the beginning of 2007 they have assisted one million people, and between January and September of this year they assisted 54,703 people. That is 54,703 people who have been in most circumstances forced to leave everything behind: their homes, belongings, their farms, land and animals; in short, their livelihoods.
The probability of Rodrigo returning home is slim and, while he seems eager to go back, he is in the minority as numbers show that 80 per cent of IDPs do not wish to return. The ICRC acts as as neutral intermediary. Its role is one of facilitation, getting involved only when humanitarian issues resulting from the conflict come to the fore. Calls are made to and received from chief contacts in the Government and any one of the armed groups.
Perhaps the best example of this was the recovery in September of the bodies of 11 politicians from Cali. The 11 had been held in captivity for five years by the leftist Farc rebels (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) and were reportedly killed in a skirmish between the rebel group and government troops, although accounts of the incident are contradictory. An arrangement was reached between the Colombian government and the Farc rebels using the ICRC as a channel of communication between the two parties. The ICRC subsequently received the coordinates of the locations of the bodies and was able to recover them.
While the example of the recovery of the bodies seems straightforward, in practice it is anything but. Reaching compromises between the parties involved is an arduous process, as is receiving a guarantee of security. The ICRC needs to tread carefully when discussing territories under control by rebel groups since the Government, of course, does not accept nor recognise these claims.
But where does this leave individuals such as Rodrigo? What happens to the civilian survivors fleeing battles between the military, the rebel movements and new insurgent groups. What happens to them after they line up outside one of the 11 ICRC offices located around Colombia?
Some people who have fled their homes remain in constant danger, even after seeking refuge through the ICRC. "There was a recent case of a woman with three children who was displaced along with her family to Bogota and while she was being processed in the capital, she saw some of those who had been threatening her elsewhere, outside her safe-house," says Hintermann. "This is a particularly sad case: her husband had been killed, her eldest daughter raped and various family members murdered. We had to use our contacts in embassies and I believe they are now safely in asylum in a European country."
The ICRC office in Medellin which deals with all displaced people from the five regions of Choco, Antioquia, Risaralda, Quindio and Caldas, a total area of 124,500 sq kms (an area marginally smaller than England) has so far this year attended to 5,878 people making claims. These people may have been displaced for any number of reasons: from activities by armed groups, the army, or from floods and other natural disasters.
The ICRC only assists those affected by conflict: this is its mandate. Other organisations, including the Government, assist in cases of flooding or the sensitive issue of coca fumigation. The ICRC focuses on those displaced due to threats, killing of family members, pressure to collaborate, and forced recruitment, as well as the fighting itself. The ICRC maintains a confidential dialogue with all the parties involved in the conflict, including the government forces, the armed groups and some of the newer paramilitary outfits, both in order to ensure access to the conflict zones, and to address and transmit its concerns about human rights violations, in line with international law.
There are pros and cons for the ICRC resulting from the demobilization of parts of the AUC (Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia the right-wing umbrella organisation under which many of the local armed groups operate) in recent years. For one, there are fewer combatants and this in itself,is a positive, but a drawback is that splinter groups form. These splinter groups are tough to approach, since there is often not the central chain of command of a larger, established group. Conversely, some are not averse to talking to the ICRC because they have usually met under the mandate of another group and so are familiar with the ICRC's practices.
Regardless of the respect that all parties in this internal war may have for the ICRC, there are many problems; rife are summary executions and other violations of International Humanitarian Law, which the ICRC endeavours to document. The hottest areas of conflict are in the most remote parts of the country, making the ICRC's task an arduous one.
The government may have you believe that they are winning the war, but in terms of IDPs there is a long way to go, as so much goes unseen and therefore unacknowledged. The situation for Rodrigo and his family and thousands of others like them in Colombia does not appear to be improving.

Here are some comments... * In CutOffTermCollector: {code} final BytesRefHash pendingTerms = new BytesRefHash(new ByteBlockPool(new RecyclingByteBlockAllocator()));{code} Sice we do not reuse the allocator we don't need to use the synced one here. There is no reset call anywhere to free the allocated blocks too. We should just use new BytesRefHash() here. * BooleanQueryRewrite#rewrite uses a HashMap to keep track of BytesRef and TermFreqBoost. I wonder if we should make use of the ParallelArray technique we us in the indexing chain together with a BytesRefHash which could safe us lots of object creation and GC cost would be lower to once MTQ gets under load. Those MTQ can create a very large amount of objects though and this seems to be a hot spot. I currently have use-cases for direct support of something like a ParallelArray base class in LUCENE-2186 and it seems we can use it here too. * In FloatsUtil#nextAfter I wonder if we need the following lines: {code} return new Float(direction) ... return Double.valueOf(direction).floatValue(); {code} since those methods do nothing else than a (float) direction case really. > Do MultiTermQuery boolean rewrites per segment > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2690 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2690 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 4.0 > Reporter: Uwe Schindler > Assignee: Uwe Schindler > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2690.patch, LUCENE-2690.patch, LUCENE-2690.patch, LUCENE-2690.patch, LUCENE-2690.patch > > > MultiTermQuery currently rewrites FuzzyQuery (using TopTermsBooleanQueryRewrite), the auto constant rewrite method and the ScoringBQ rewrite methods using a MultiFields wrapper on the top-level reader.

FDIC Enforcement Decisions and Orders |
FDIC issues order of prohibition against respondent who failed to participate in proceeding in which administrative law judge found that he engaged in unsafe and unsound banking practices and breached his fiduciary duty.
[.1] HearingsFailure to Appear
[.2] AnswerMailing
[.3] AnswerFailure to FileProhibition, Removal, or Suspension
{{6-30-96 p.A-2763}}
In the Matter of
This uncontested matter is before the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") following a Decision Recommending Issuance of Order Prohibiting Further Participation in the Affairs of Federally Insured Depository Institutions (the "Recommended Decision")1 by Administrative Law Judge Walter A. Alprin (the "ALJ"), an order reopening the record and remanding to the ALJ, and a supplemental ruling by the ALJ on remand.
On July 12, 1994, the FDIC issued a Notice of Intention to Prohibit From Further Participation (the "Notice") 3 seeking to prohibit Respondent from participating in the affairs of federally insured financial institutions, pursuant to the provisions of section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDI Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e).4 The Notice was sent to Respondent by certified mail, return receipt requested, at 24 Roslyn Lane, New City, New York 10956 (the "New City Address"), under cover of a letter advising him:
The Board concurs in and adopts the ALJ's Recommended Decision.
[.1] Although a respondent who fails to appear at a hearing is deemed to have consented to issuance of an order of prohibition, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(4), the Order to Reopen noted that this section could not be deemed operative if a respondent failed to receive actual or constructive notice of the time and place that the hearing is to be held. Accordingly, the Order to Reopen directed the ALJ to ascertain whether Respondent received actual or constructive notice of the time and place of the hearing. The ALJ found on remand that Respondent had received such notice, and the Board concurs in that conclusion.
[.2] While it is unfortunate that Respondent may not have received documents filed in this matter after issuance of the Notice but prior to December 1, 1994, the Board finds under the circumstances of this case
[.3] Notwithstanding his receipt of these documents, Respondent failed to answer, failed to enter an appearance, failed to participate in the hearing, and failed to communicate with the ALJ in any manner at any time. Respondent's conduct, therefore, clearly demonstrates an intentional disregard of, or willful failure to follow, the FDIC's procedural requirements as noted in several earlier default cases. See In the Matter of Harold Dean Ingram, FDIC-92-343k, 2 P-H FDIC Enf. Dec. ¶5217, at A-2471 (August 2, 1994); In the Matter of Billy Gene Humphrey, Jr., FDIC-93-55e, 2 P-H FDIC Enf. Dec. ¶5207, at A-2346 (November 23, 1993); In the Matter of George W. Glover, FDIC-93-54e, 2 P-H FDIC Enf. Dec. ¶5206, at A-2343 (November 23, 1993).
[.4] Even when a decision on the merits is issued, as was done in the instant case, it is appropriate to make an alternative finding of default. See In the Matter of Hiram L. Fong, Jr., FDIC-94-81e, 1 P-H FDIC Enf. Dec. ¶5230, at A-2749 (December 1, 1995); In the Matter of Chul Song, FDIC-92-140e, 92-350k, 2 P-H FDIC Enf. Dec. ¶5214, at A-2444 (May 17, 1994). Based upon Respondent's failure to appear at the hearing in this matter, the Board expressly makes an alternative finding that Respondent has defaulted.10
After a thorough review of the record in this proceeding, and for the reasons set forth above, the Board adopts the ALJ's Recommended Decision, as supplemented herein.
Accordingly, the Board, having considered the entire record in this proceeding, HEREBY ORDERS that, without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the appropriate federal financial institutions regulatory agency, as that term is defined in section 8(e)(7)(D) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7)(D), John F. Higgins is hereby prohibited from:
On July 12, 1994, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") issued a Notice of Intention to Prohibit Oscar Lindskog ("Lindskog"), John F. Fitzgerald ("Fitzgerald"), and John F. Higgins ("Respondent"), individually and as former officers, directors, and institution-affiliated parties of State Bank of Westchester, n/k/a Reliance Bank, White Plains, New York ("Bank"), from further participation in the affairs of Federally insured depository institutions ("Notice"). The Notice was issued pursuant to the provisions of section 8(e)1 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), and Part 308 of the FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 12 C.F.R. Part 308. Lindskog and Fitzgerald each stipulated to the Issuance of an Order of Prohibition From Further Participation leaving Higgins as the remaining respondent.
Respondent is charged with engaging in unsafe or unsound banking practices and with breaching his fiduciary duty as a director and officer of the Bank, through his lax lending and supervisory practices, as a result of which the Bank suffered substantial losses.
At all times pertinent to this proceeding the Bank was a corporation existing and doing business under the laws of the State of New York, having its principal place of business in White Plains, New York. FDIC Ex 2; Admitted Fact at paragraph 1 of the Notice pursuant to 12 C.F.R. § 308.21.3
The primary issue is whether Respondent's conduct justifies the institution of a Prohibition Order. This determination depends on whether Respondent engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices or breached his fiduciary duty. If so, Respondent should be prohibited from further participation in affairs of Federally insured depository institutions.
Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(1), banking regulatory agencies are authorized to remove directors and officers from an insured bank and to prohibit their further participation in the affairs of a Federally insured financial institution. A removal and/or prohibition order may issue where it is found that a director or officer has:
The phrase "unsafe or unsound practices" is not defined in section 8(b) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b). The statute also does not specify practices which are deemed to be unsafe or unsound. However, the phrase has been commonly defined as follows:
Respondent served as president, lending officer, and member of the board of directors of the Bank from August, 1986 until June 2, 1989, (AF, ¶ 3), and the Bank's chief operating officer from March, 1987 to June 2, 1989. Respondent had a lending authority of $500,000 for unsecured credits and $750,000 for secured credits. FDIC Ex. 14, p. 6; Tr 59.
Respondent and Lindskog worked together at three different institutions: Bankers Trust Company for three years, Nanuet National Bank for seven years, and at the Bank for two years.9 In each instance, Respondent was Lindskog's immediate supervisor. FDIC Ex. 11 pp. 10-12.
Many of the loans originated by Lindskog were made without regard to financial analysis, without proper documentation and without any regard to internally approved lending policies or lending limits. The loans described below are a few instances of Lindskog's lax lending practices.
The Board of Directors of the FDIC has established the parameters of the fiduciary duty expected of directors under the requirements of section 8(e) of the Act as follows:
The issue under the "effects" portion of the prohibition analysis is whether, as a result of Respondent's misconduct, the Bank suffered or will likely suffer substantial financial loss or other harm to the interests of its depositors, or whether Respondent received a financial gain. The undersigned finds that the effect of Respondent's misconduct is a loss to the Bank of $5,254,213.00.10
The final issue to be determined is whether Respondent's actions manifest either personal dishonesty, or willful or continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the bank. Personal dishonesty also includes a disposition to lie, cheat, defraud, misrepresent, or deceive, or a lack of straightforwardness and a lack of integrity.11
The facts presented demonstrate that Respondent engaged in flagrant banking misconduct, but not that he lied, defrauded, or stole from the institution or others. However, the facts presented indicate a complete disregard for the limits of his position or even common sense limits of loan making which impugns Respondent's integrity and raises serious questions of whether he was acting in a straightforward manner. Enforcement Counsel does not argue that Respondent acted with personal dishonesty, and accordingly the undersigned makes no finding on the issue but specifies that he might consider similar conduct in some other matter to constitute evidence of personal dishonesty.
The applicable standard for issuing a section 8(e) order of prohibition requires a determination that the Respondent's conduct involved either personal dishonesty, or willful, or continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Bank. 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e) (1982). Neither the Act nor its legislative history defines "willful or continuing disregard." The FDIC and the courts have interpreted "willful disregard" and "continuing disregard" to provide two distinct and alternative standards for removal and/or prohibition. In Brickner v. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 747 F.2d 1198, 12021203 (8th Cir. 1984), the Court ruled that:
1. The Bank is and was at all times pertinent to this proceeding subject to the Act, 12 U.S.C. §§ 1811 et seq., the Rules and Regulations of the FDIC, 12 C.F.R. Chapter III, and the laws of the State of New York.
A supervising agency, in this matter the FDIC, is authorized to issue orders prohibiting persons from further participation in the conduct of the affairs of any Federally insured depository institution when such orders are necessary to remedy violations of the applicable statutory provisions. The record of this proceeding clearly demonstrates that Respondent engaged in conduct and practices at the Bank which constitute unsafe or unsound practices and breaches of fiduciary duty, and which resulted in substantial financial losses to the Bank. As a result of the definite pattern of unsafe or unsound practices and breaches of fiduciary duty, the Respondent demonstrated both a willful and a continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Bank. It is recommended that a Final Order similar in form to the attached be entered prohibiting Respondent from further participation in the affairs of Federally insured depository institutions.
1. John F. Higgins is hereby prohibited, without the prior written approval of the FDIC and the appropriate Federal financial institutions regulatory agency, as that term is defined in section 8(e)(7)(D) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e)(7)(D), from: |

Their reluctance has nothing to do with the charms of the Italian-born PhD, wife of Charles Letts of diary fame, and everything to do with the fact that they were creditors of the Accademia and two of the minority who rejected the proposals for a Corporate Voluntary Arrangement last summer, under which the Accademia's creditors were offered around 70p in the pound over five years.
The CVA became inevitable because of total debts of around pounds 500,000, despite the backing of Prince Charles (who threw a fund-raising garden party), Rocco Forte and other worthies. It led to the abandonment of the mansion in Rutland Gate that the Accademia had leased from Glaxo - which has now sold the lease at a profit. The Accademia is using Smith's Galleries only until it completes negotiations for leasing the magnificent Victorian Royal College of Organists building in Kensington.
If Dr Letts' plan works - and it will if her past record has anything to do with it - the building will feature not only a gallery but also a club and restaurant, to be run by a Well- Known Restaurateur.
Future plans could even include an exhibition of paintings by an as-yet unknown artist, who has proved surprisingly reticent about her talents but was first spotted by another artist called in to paint her with her two daughters. Step forward the Rosa Bonheur of the 1990s - none other than Fergie.

Bit-error-rate performance analysis of self-heterodyne detected radio-over-fiber links using phase and intensity modulation
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2010
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the performance of two self-heterodyne detected radio-over-fiber (RoF) links employing phase modulation (PM) and quadrature biased intensity modulation (IM), in term of bit-error-rate (BER) and optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR). In both links, self-heterodyne receivers perform down-conversion of radio frequency (RF) subcarrier signal. A theoretical model including noise analysis is constructed to calculate the Q factor and estimate the BER performance. Furthermore, we experimentally validate our prediction in the theoretical modeling. Both the experimental and theoretical results show that the PM link offers superior OSNR receiver sensitivity performance (higher than 6 dB) over the quadrature biased IM counterpart.

CEO: Dante Malagrino
Embrane prides itself as having already looked beyond the SDN trend, which according to President and CEO Dante Malagrino, "tends to be focused very narrowly on Layer 2 and Layer 3" networking. Embrane has won good notices for Heleos, the nearly year-old distributed software platform it offers for driving the programmable networking trend into Layer 4-7 functions such as load balancers, firewalls, VPN and WAN optimization. A good fit for a larger data center player?
