We're also thrilled to announce that we're playing the first ever Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA May 4th along with The Lumineers, Band of Horses, Gary Clarke Jr., Delta Spirit, Dr. Dog, and the man himself, Jim James! In my humble opinion, the line-up kicks Coachella's butt. You can check the whole thing out here.
Hey yall! Super thrilled to be playing Live105s BFD Music Festival for the first time this year. Better yet, we will be headlining our the Local Stage with many of our friends along side. If you find yourself in the South Bay May 19th, come check it out!
The fact that Saint Patrick's Day felt like a quiet Tuesday afternoon only attests to how much of a riot SXSW was. Anyone that went to the festival was not looking to spend a Sunday afternoon getting day-drunk on overpriced Guinness. This was a day to relax, recover and realize that sadly, the rest of my life was not going to solely consist of zig-zagging across Austin chasing an endless supply of free music and booze between playing shows in bars and hotel lobbies. SXSW is like 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' on steroids, crack, acid and anything else you can think of. For one week only, every nook and cranny turns into a secret show Mecca where all the rumors are true. Prince is doing a club gig, Flaming Lips are playing at a bar, and Erykah Badu is George Clinton's special guest at a garage concert. Unfortunately, it's impossible to get in, but what can you do? What's even more insane is that despite all the big name acts, us and our friends could play a bar at 2PM on a Thursday or a hotel lobby on a Saturday afternoon and it would be packed and awesome. I've done enough hotel lobby and off-night bar gigs to know that this does not happen in real life.
It's kind of strange writing about Sunday at SXSW because the festival was over and Austin was well on it's way to becoming a (somewhat) normal city again. I strolled down a desolate 6th St. to the Flamingo Cantina to catch the set of an Austin native that sang Brazillian folk music accompanied by a ukelele and harmonica only to find the venue closed and no indication that there was ever going to be a show there. As it turns out, she was playing at a Farmer's Market and had been at the Flamingo Cantina the night before. I took this as an opportunity to explore Austin and hang out with a friend from Vermont who I'd run into Tuesday at what was slated to be a Middle Brother reunion show until Matt Vasquez got chased out the club by a giant bouncer for climbing up a forty foot lighting rig and crowd surfing after the sound guy turned off his microphone when Delta Spirit played over the house music that cut their set short, but that's another story.
I had a few hours to kill in the afternoon so I went to a movie theater called the Velvet to cool off. It was then I noticed that my arms were pink as rare meat, turning white every time I poked them before quickly returning to their unnatural hue. In the ginger kingdom, the first burn is to be celebrated because it signals the beginning of spring. So I rejoiced by watching 'West of Memphis,' hardly a movie-hopping kind of film. Balking at the $13 ticket price, which would have emptied my wallet of its last dollar, I snuck in all too easily. I knew nothing of the West Memphis 3, and the documentary did an incredible job of thoroughly and empathetically telling the tragic story of the brutal murder of three 8-year-old boys and the subsequent wrongful imprisonment of three teenagers, what it took to get them released and how f—ed up the Arkansas criminal justice system is to prefer saving face over a wrongful conviction and unfair trial at the expense of three innocent teenagers and their families than to bring the actual killer to justice. Spending a Sunday afternoon alone and crying in the back of a movie theater definitely was not what I'd envisioned when I woke up that morning.
I walked across town to Stubb's only to find that the band before us hadn't shown up, so we had to go onstage right away. Setlist-less we quickly set our gear up and ran through one of our rowdier sets. Our friends got kicked out for bringing cheap beer into the back patio so we left with them, capping the night off by celebrating the end of a seven-week tour with our brother (and sister) band Swear and Shake my favorite way: eating a giant breakfast with good friends at a 24/7 diner at two in the morning.
Beer is not a suitable substitute for water. No mater how many people tell you this is true, no mater how many bars say it's true, it isn't. We want to believe it, and some people try to prove it daily by forcing it into their gullet till shirt buttons pop, but these individuals' efforts are wasted. Beer is not a suitable substitute for water.
The crowds and venues at SXSW don't give a s–t about this truth though. It gets tossed aside with a careless laugh and wave that says, "Hush child, let the adults talk." The beer here flows like the chocolate river with churning waterfalls in 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' and no matter what time of day, area of the city or crowd in attendance, concertgoers will shimmy up to its shores and lap it up. At SXSW, beer just might be a suitable substitute for water after all.
It's day three in Austin, and the vibes are getting better. Before my arrival, I, and many like me, went through the countless number of blogs, apps and friend recommendations trying to find the best bands to go see in a need to precisely plan my day and not waste a single minute.
There are so many stages (100 official, many "unofficial" at the local bars, some number of official private parties and an unknown number of house parties outside of downtown), so many bands (last year there were more than 500 official bands; who knows how many just showed up), so many people (more than 30,000 badges and wrist bands sold, and I swear every college student in Texas and then some) that making sure you have a schedule with exact routes mapped out between venues to minimize loss of time (due to random groups of blond girls stopping and deciding which dive bar to awkwardly get hit on by guys) is very important.
I also just didn't know 95 percent of the groups coming out. So I made my list, headed into town and forgot about sleep and health in my pursuit of great live music.
Most of my efforts were in vain, though. There are many things to b—h about in life, and SXSW is no exception. But I'm here to talk about the great things I saw. But before I move on, I have to give out one warning: Foxygen are like a combination of Jim Morrison and Justin Bieber, with less sex appeal and a lack of bielebers to support them.
After realizing my mistake of keeping a schedule and trying to see everyone all the blog thought was cool, I decided to see the bands I knew were going to be great, stay in one location and drink lots of water — delicious amber-colored hoppy water.
Band one to talk about, Red Baraat: Mix a New Orleans brass band with New York hip-hop served in a highball glass of Indian music ranging from all parts of the country and from all styles (Bollywood being a good feature). They call it "some kind of ethnomusicologist's academic dream." I say it was a damn good whiskey that made me drunk enough to dance (dance being defined as "making an ass out of myself by oddly moving my limbs with no rhyme or reason"). I may also have been drunk off the "water" I had been consuming for the past 12 hours. Everyone was jumping around feeling every drum hit and brass smack (note: It's always cool when a sousaphone plays all the bass lines). The power of music is its ability to move people physically and emotionally. Red Baraat succeeds in blending new genres of music (cue buzzword "globalization") and forcing us in the audience to enjoy it.
Band two to be in love with: Thao and the Get Down Stay Down. She owns everything she does onstage: guitar, slide guitar, mandolin, dancing, singing, rocking the f–k out, making you want to become her soul mate. No joke, after mentioning her name to many concertgoers, all are in agreement that she must be our future wives. I can't go into overly effervescent descriptions of her band because words do a disservice to the music and performance. Go see them, go dance to them and feel emptiness when you realize the set is done and you have to wait until the next show to see them live again.
It's amazing that through the water-induced haze of my 15-hour day I can remember the swagness of the events. SXSW is a Jelly Belly store with every flavor sorted for your convenience. Don't worry about trying every single one. Sample a few, stock up on the flavors you enjoy most and remember that you can always come back for more. Oh, and if you're thirsty, drink the water. It's delicious.
After two months driving all over the country, through every place where the weather reminded us that we are certainly not in California anymore, yesterday's beating sun and warm breeze were a mighty and welcome beacon at the end of my coldest winter. Or perhaps this is just Texas. I spent my first waking hours basking in the midday sun, getting in some important relaxation time before heading into the mad rush of SXSW.
Looking back at our first day of SXSW on Tuesday, our initial notion of the craziness on the streets seems amateur. The combination of the weekend and the last day of the festival brought a whole new level of crowds. The unofficial party goers, both locals and visitors, here to join in on the revelry far outnumbered the 30,000 official attendees, causing 6th Street to be really crowded and keeping every sidewalk within a mile in any direction extremely busy.
We started out at the Empire Garage to see our new friends from Athens, Ga., the District Attorneys. After walking in, you need to take a closer look to realize that the venue is usually an auto-repair shop. The stage, sound system, lights, bars and food cover up this fact incredibly well, turning it, at least for a week, into a better-equipped venue than many that we've played music in this past year.
After the District Attorneys, Florida's Roadkill Ghost Choir came on. I'm a sucker for anything like My Morning Jacket, and Roadkill Ghost Choir falls clearly into that line. May the seed of Jim James be spread over the Earth for the world to hear.
Hungry for a snack, we went on a mission to find some for free, and, lo and behold, a block later, the glowing tower of the Doritos Stage beckoned us like a slightly smaller (but not by much) version of Times Square. Free chips for everyone! SXSW is all about free stuff or really overpriced stuff, but nothing in between. It's an awkward relationship between an independent arts festival and every corporate sponsor America has to offer.
A couple hours later, we made the long, hot walk to our acoustic performance in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency hotel, just across the river from downtown. There were two mics and a speaker, but no employees who knew what the deal was with our live-music gig. We set ourselves up and played at 6 p.m. as planned to an attentive crowd.
In the evening, I found what might be my favorite venue of the festival, the Blackheart Bar, to see some friends of ours from the Bay Area, the Soft White Sixties. The band was great — like a more fleshed out version of the Black Keys. The sound was great, and the outdoor patio was strung with lights in the evening warmth, making the place relaxing and magical.
Waking up feeling hot and drained. Sleeping doesn't seem to work like it used to. At least not since I've been at South By. The neighborhood is loud in the morning, not so much from the sound of cars driving by, but from birds tweeting rude hashtags, chickens just minding their own thing and the sound of seven touring musicians' clothes spinning around the washer and dryer. There's nothing like fresh laundry, especially on tour. Doing laundry becomes a sacred community activity that doesn't happen too frequently. When the cost of clean clothes equals a third of your daily payout, you become wise in the ways of preserving clothes. But who cares about laundry.
Most days start with a coffee for me, just because I love the taste and the warm feeling I get inside. I enjoy caffeine like most Americans, and this morning it was so necessary, otherwise my thoughts would not happen, this blog post would not happen, the piano and organ at our show would not happen, nothing would have happened if it weren't coffee. That's why I wanna give a shout out to all the hard working employees at Thunderbird coffee shop on Manor road. They have good coffee when it cools down and the pumpkin bread was off the chain! It gave me the spicy cinnamon strength to start my day. Today is special, though. It's our first show at South By.
We might be the only band that is early to gigs. For South By, it's kind of a curse, because I have yet to go to a show that was running on time, or running good sound. It is such a massive event that there seems to be a shortage of sound guys with any knowledge of running sound. We show up to the Jackalope at noon, half an hour before our load-in. Fortunately, we only had to carry our gear one block to the venue. This place is pretty weird. The TV's are showing some cult film that features a lot of naked women with parts of flesh missing. It's quite lovely. I asked the bartender the name of it so I could watch it with my girlfriend for our anniversary. Unfortunately, I lost the paper with the name — this was due to the bartender, though. How can you offer free beer to musicians at 1PM? It's a surefire way of turning a soul to alcoholism. Anyways, our set time was 1:55, but we went on closer to 2:30. All the South By set are quick and dirty: load-in, play, load-out and good luck finding parking. Porter Robinson taught me festival sets just have to be "bangers"; that's what everyone likes. This seemed to be the longest 40-minute set I've played in a long time. It felt good playing in a dingy bar, amps set loud and no monitors. It's very much like being a beagle. It's easier if you just let it all go. It is very thrilling. It felt like playing our very first shows again. It's really hard to hear everything, and you just hope beyond hope your musical ideas come across well. Gotta love the dive-bar gigs.
South By has taught me I need better shoes. They need better sound people. The amount of free stuff is ridiculously awesome. If you're late to a show, chances are it probably hasn't started yet. Also, feed yourself. I have a hard time doing that last one. This massive festival is a total mind-f—. It's great — I love it — but I'd rather come to Austin while the festival isn't here and experience the city on its own.
It's been a long time coming, but we're thrilled to share the title track off our new EP, "Worn Down Welcome" with ya'll. The homies at USA Today were kind enough to debut the track. You can check out the article here.
As promised, all of the tracks off our new EP will be available for FREE! Get the first single by clicking the image below!

Thrilled to announce we will be a part of Electric Forest this year in Michigan!!!

OCC moves forward on a new jail
Oconee County will get a smaller jail than first planned and at a lower cost than first estimated. Meeting with architect and contractor representatives and Sheriff Crenshaw, County Council approved a schematic design for a jail to hold 200 inmates, with emergency capacity for an extra 40 beds. It's to be a 65 thousand square foot, two-story building to adjoin the Law Enforcement Center on the cemetery side. County Administrator Scott Moulder says about $15.8 million remains from a $17 million bond issue. By reducing the bed size from 288 to 200, the county expects to lower the price to around $16 million. But it also agreed last night to pay $165 thousand to buy an adjoining home and parcel at 102 Lura Lane. The council received a timeline that shows April 2, 2014 the start of site work and the finished jail by May 2, 2015.

Insurance Comparisons
One of the most profitable investment pathways, we can find on our days, certainly is insurance. This word sometimes can come to fright a few people. Maybe so because means many clauses and different policies so unusual for most people. The important thing to highlight when talking about insurance is to know that this word embodies lots of different kinds of investment. Actually there is one for every kind of situation, so people can choose the one that fits the best. Life insurance stands for real terms for something to become more secure in your life. Roughly speaking, insurance means: somebody strikes some sort of deal with the insurance company, by buying a policy of his own lifetime (in life term insurance, for example), or someone else's (the daughter can buy a life insurance for her father, for example).
If we think through the idea that we live in a world where everything stands a possibility to happen, insuring what you acquired through dedication would be a smart and wise decision. Lots of people dream about free range of motion in order to reach out everywhere they wished for as fast as they can and the answer for that question is figured out by them as if it were their own car. Every day we are bombed out by news where people crash their cars in accidents, and sometimes lose their own lives. This usual news no longer scares us out as consequence of the frequency this kind of accident happens all the time; day in day out. However, we must realize that it can happen to anyone at anytime.
Auto insurance is the best way to drive safely and preocupation free these days. To drive under the laws and being a good driver, sadly, is not enough, today.
If you felt interested in knowing more about how insurance policy works – and consequentially the companies, you may visit a big number of them, by navigating on the internet. There are many companies availing their services online. A quick research on the big search engines can provide a good view of their quotes and politics. There are even online ways to calculate insurance values, for free, and value their services.

- Full coverage of the Australian Open and the hot summer of tennis, free from the Financial Review online
This Australian Open is shaping up as one of the most interesting for some time as there are many questions to be asked of the top players in the men's and women's events.
Djokovic went on to beat
There is no doubt he justifiably holds the No. 1 seed and is favourite for the title. The big question is, has his mind and body had time to recuperate for a repeat of 2011? The answer will come as we observe him over two weeks playing seven five-set matches.
At the beginning of 2011 Nadal was No. 1 and his position looked unassailable. Then along came Djokovic, who beat him six times in finals, including Wimbledon and the US Open, plus a couple on clay. Nadal was like a heavyweight champion who has never been knocked out, and when it happened six times in a row his self-belief faltered.
How Nadal recovers from that in 2012 will determine his year. I suspect it may take him a few months and some tough losses. I can't see him having a great Open but don't count him out. My bet is he will have decided by late April "enough is enough" and will come storming back. After all, "Rafa" is a real champion.
A dollar on Federer would not be money poorly spent. He should have been in the final of the US Open and did not lose another match all year. At age 30 he is at the height of his understanding of himself and his game and would love nothing more than to prove he can still win Grand Slams, not as many as he once did, but one or even two more this year would satisfy him. If he is physically OK, I fancy his chances.
I swore after last year I would never lean towards
Murray has the terrible problem of looking up at his box when the going gets tough. If he does this he will get absolutely no sympathy from Lendl, who knows if you want to become the champion it is at this point in the match you put everything else out of your mind, put your head down, relish the battle, show nothing to your opponent, and try to get inside his head. So far I have not witnessed any of these attributes in Murray's three Slam finals.
Admittedly he has lost to Federer twice and Djokovic once, but it's not the fact he lost, it's the fact that in each of these finals he did not do himself justice. If Lendl can turn those factors around, Murray has the game to win, so that's the big challenge facing the young man who is trying to become the first male Briton to win a Slam since Fred Perry in the 1930s.
After the big four I can't see anyone except maybe Juan Martin del Potro, if he is fit enough, while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych will possibly be in the semis or the finals.
Bernard Tomic is not ready to go all the way, but most players will hope he is not in their section. Tomic is on a steep learning curve and in 2013 will certainly be in the top 16 seeds.
For the other Aussie, Matt Ebden, I like his game and if he gets a good draw he will win a few rounds.
Don't count Sam Stosur out because of poor form in Brisbane and Sydney. She shares a trait with Pat Rafter, what I called his Warrior Mentality. When he over-analysed everything, he played badly. When he simply trusted in his natural abilities and threw himself into the battle the big results came, and that's what Stosur needs to do, it's what we saw at the US Open. If she can achieve this frame of mind she can win the Australian Open.
Having said that, my favourite is Petra Kvitova. At 21 she is already No. 2, verging on being No. 1, and has one of the most powerful games we have seen since Venus and Serena Williams.
Caroline Wozniacki has the game to win a Slam but has to realise they are not won by having a great defence and making few mistakes. Li Na showed what offensive brave play can do by reaching the Open final last year and winning the French.
Victoria Azarenka has the game and determination to win, Maria Sharapova is underdone,

These titles would have been kind of fun if they werent so grindy. The goal was to produce a game with an unlimited gameplay life by reducing the speed of progression and increasing the amount of a time a player must run the same content. The result is that large segment of the consumer population dont then even dare to try.
If a game were to close down, couldnt they try to add the files and content over to some new flagship game in the form of some kind of side quest, bonus game, or mini experience without all of the grind?

Welcome to The Boot Room. This week Darren Cross from Match Magazine gives us his tips on skill moves that may give you the edge over your opponents. All moves listed assume you are running right. Adjust accordingly depending on the direction you are running.
Turn & Spin (Hold LT, RS Right then Up/Down)
Use around the box when a defender is running parallel to you to turn, spin and get space for a cross or a shot. Spin onto your strong foot if attempting a shot on goal unless your player has a high weak foot star rating.
Heel to Heel (Hold LT, RS Right then Left)
Use to fool defenders and buy some space in congested areas.
Heel Chop (Hold LT, RS Diagonally Left Twice)
Use to shift the ball into space, to draw a foul or to beat the goalkeeper.
Scoop Turn (Hold LT, B, A + Direction)
Use when your back is to goal and a defender is close to you to turn them and take a shot on goal.
Roulette (Hold LT, RS Left and ¾ Rotation)
Use to get your body between the ball and the defender to get past them, draw a foul or even beat the goalkeeper.
Join us next week on The Boot Room for some advanced techniques that may give you the edge when playing FIFA 13.
FIFA 13 is availble to buy now on Origin for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC.

Effects of FDI Inflows on Regional Labour Market Differences in Hungary
Post-transitional labour markets of the Central and East European countries have been characterised by marked regional differences. This paper will concentrate on the spatial pattern of job creation, determined by the allocation decisions of foreign and domestic investors. Regions with the highest employment rates may boast high doses of FDI inflows, while low employment regions have been suffering from the persistent lack of outside investments. The paper describes the regional distribution of foreign and domestic employment. The second section analyses the spatial distribution of FDI and domestic firms' employment, and points out the most important explanatory factors of their regional distribution. The third section discusses the time path of regional labour market differences in Hungary and measures the impact of foreign firms' net job creation on employment, in high and low employment regions. The last section concludes with some policy relevant messages.

If the job of a principal conjures up visions of Principal Seymour Skinner chasing Bart Simpson, the reality couldn't be further. Rather than the disciplinarians of the past, today's principals have to know and help every student, cope with parental and political demands and ensure that their school scores highly on standardized tests. It's no wonder the appeal of the job is declining.
"The research for the last 20 years is quite clear, teachers are not attracted to the principalship," says Paul Newton, an associate professor at the University of Alberta who has researched the role of the school leader. "Principals were always responsible for ensuring efficient management of the school, but, increasingly, the principal has become responsible for the academic achievement of students. This is not an insignificant shift."
Principal Lorraine Kinsman, head of Cranston School, which she helped open four years ago in Calgary, has experienced how complex the job can be. She expected to run the school, set up timetables and monitor the day-to-day happenings. Instead, she also has to contend with the involvement of parents, the community, the school board and the province. "Instead of just knowing six courses of study, I now need to know 575 children, and all of the options that are available to them," she says.
Ms. Kinsman is among 40 principals honoured by the Learning Partnership as Canada's best in a role that clearly has some exceptional leaders. But over all, school boards are having a difficult time recruiting new people to the leadership ranks. Studies show that school systems in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States are struggling to recruit teachers to become principals, and research suggests vacancies are expected to climb.
In Ontario, the number of educators receiving their principal qualifications dropped from 1,056 in 2003 to 590 last year, according to data from the Ontario College of Teachers. A spokesman for Alberta Education says school superintendents have indicated a greater challenge than in the past in recruiting teachers to become principals.
Tell us what makes a great principal and we'll publish your opinions.
In spite of those numbers, great principals can make a huge difference in the lives of students and their communities.
"I like helping people solve problems, whether it's a staff member or a student or a family," says John-Paul Elliott, the principal at St. Joseph Catholic School in Gananoque, Ont. "And then when you finally see some success, you know, … you finally see somebody moving forward, it's very motivating."
To become a principal in Ontario, an educator needs at least five years of teaching experience, although most have more, as well as certification that includes the principal's qualification program.
Lately, the role has become more political. Although test scores are not used to penalize a principal, leaders whose schools don't fare well are still scrutinized and questioned by parents and politicians.
"The increased hours, responsibility and public scrutiny are not compensated for by minimal salary increases," says Prof. Newton, who is about to publish a paper on this topic. "Most teachers would prefer to remain in teaching roles than transition into administrative positions." He added that this is particularly acute in remote parts of Canada that have long faced a shortage of school administrators.
In Alberta, the average salary for a teacher with 10 years' experience is about $92,000; and at the top end of the scale, teachers could earn as much as $99,000. A principal at the top end of the scale in Alberta would earn about $99,000, with an "allowance" of between $20,000 and $45,000. Principals in Ontario are on the province's annual sunshine list, earning more than $100,000 annually. Teachers at the top end of the scale earn more than $90,000.
Prof. Newton argues that while principals have always been responsible for the management of school, lately they've taken on an additional task of student achievement. When organizations like the Fraser Institute rank schools based on test scores, provincial governments see principals as key agents in educational improvement efforts and, as Prof. Newton says, "an easy target" when a school is not faring well. The research, however, "is less than conclusive with respect to the impact that principals have on student learning," he adds.
But Andrea McAuley, who is in her fourth year as principal at R.H. Cornish Public School in Port Perry, Ont., and among this year's winners, says "changing the trajectory of outcomes" for students is what keeps her energized. "The role of principal enables us to keep one hand front-line for our students, so we see the individual faces and can support in individual conversations with kids, but also have a wider connection to systemic change," she says.
John Hamilton, president-elect at the Ontario Principals' Council and a principal for the last 10 years, says not only are principals taking on the responsibility of student achievement, they also see an increasing number of students coming to them for help with mental-health issues. Mr. Hamilton, the principal at Sunderland Public School in Brock, Ont., says he and his colleagues spend a lot of their time helping children with emotional needs.
"You're trying to manage a global landscape in an educational setting," he says. "None of the issues that we are expected to deal with are bad things, they are good things. But what is our role? It becomes difficult to define it when you're being pulled in a lot of different directions."Report Typo/Error

Tailored back seat cover Posted by Jane Rouse on 24th Jun 2016
The service was quick and efficient. We rang to ask a question which was answered quickly and efficiently. This is the 3rd cover that we have had, all of which have been great although this has been the first fitted one. Arrived earlier than expected. Worth the money to protect the seats in our new car as we have a dog that does not 'do the boot'.1370

$0.45 Hourly Wage Increase for American Workers in Last Seven Years, While CEO Pay Increases by More than $5 Million
Sep 02, 2013, 07:00 ET from GoBankingRates.com
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Labor Day, which celebrates American workers, GoBankingRates.com investigated the status of the U.S. workforce, finding that hourly wages have barely budged for the average private-sector American worker in the last seven years.
The average American worker in the private-sector earned $23.98(p) per hour in July 2013, up from $20.31 in July 2006 ($23.53 when adjusted for inflation), a mere $0.45 increase. During that same period, the median compensation package for CEOs and executives went from $7 million to more than $12 million -- more than a $5 million increase.
"This $0.45 increase is paltry, to say the least," said Jennifer Calonia, editor for GoBankingRates.com. "This investigation shows the extensive gap between the average working American striving to support their family and the affluent top one percent."
Additional Findings:
- Workers have produced, on average, 1.7 percent more output from 2007 to 2012.
- While a U.S. worker makes an average of $34,645 a year, the average CEO makes 354 times that amount.
- Employed people worked an average of 7.6 hours a work day.
- Considering family income distribution inequality, or gini index scores, the United States has a bigger income gap than other similarly developed countries, including United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Denmark, New Zealand and Italy.
For more information, please click here: http://bit.ly/17mWKmr.
GoBankingRates.com arrived at these findings by evaluating average worker pay from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (2006 – 2013) and CEO compensation from the Institute for Governance of Private and Public Organizations' 'Pay for Value: Cutting the Gordian knot of Executive Compensation' (2012) as well as AFL-CIO's current 'Executive Paywatch.' Worker output data comes the BLS preliminary multifactor productivity trends report (2012); data regarding the distribution of family income (or gini index) comes from the Central Intelligence Agency's 'The World Factbook.'

Professor Terry Herter
Research Area: Stellar Evolution, Galactic Center
Research Project: FORCAST
Biography: My research involves studying evolved massive stars in the Galactic Center region using the Faint Object Infrared Camera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST) on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). I am interested in the environment of the Galactic Center because it is the home to a large portion of the highest mass stars in our galaxy. High mass stars undergo evolutionary phases, such as the Wolf-Rayet phase, or in some cases, the Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) phase, that are different from the evolutionary phases of less massive stars. Many details about the these phases and the transitions between them are not well understood. In particular the LBV phase is exceptionally rare and the mechanism which causes it is unknown.
I received my BS in Physics from the University of Central Arkansas (UCA). While at UCA, I worked in optical and ultraviolet spectroscopy. As an undergraduate, I also participated in two REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) programs. In the summer of 2011, I was an REU student at the University of Michigan. I worked with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) group. While working with the ROTSE collaboration, I contributed to a supernova candidate discovery (ATEL #3438) and a supernova discovery (CBET 2784). In the summer of 2012, I was an REU student at Cornell University. This is where I began my work with the FORCAST group.

Walmart and developer SmartCentres want to build a shopping centre on a 37-acre parcel of land southwest of the corner of the Perimeter and Lagimodiere Boulevard. While the land is in East St. Paul, there is no access to the site from the rural municipality.
North Kildonan residents -- as well as some East St. Paul residents who live inside the Perimeter Highway -- have expressed concern their residential streets will be used as access routes to the development.
In March, council approved a motion to close Raleigh Street and Gateway Road to deny access to the proposed development. North Kildonan Coun. Jeff Browaty authored the motion as a means of pressuring East St. Paul and the regional planning authority, Red River Planning, to ensure highway access to the development is built instead.
The rural municipality has appealed the city decision to the provincial municipal board. A hearing is slated for September.
Browaty said Monday in a statement he hopes that hearing can be delayed until Red River Planning issues a decision about zoning approvals for the development.
Browaty said the development of the site is inevitable, but should be done only after proper transportation infrastructure is built.
East St. Paul Mayor Lawrence Morris said his municipality supports the idea of delaying the appeal until after Red River Planning rules on the development. But he said the appeal has nothing to do with the development.
Morris said East St. Paul is concerned about the loss of access to the Perimeter for existing residents. He also said all parties are waiting to hear whether the Selinger government will support new access from the Perimeter as part of a planned construction of a cloverleaf at the Perimeter and Lagimodiere Boulevard.
He said he hopes the city and his municipality will work together and hopes there will be no hard feelings resulting from this dispute.

Unified Gravity's mission is to replace hydrocarbon-based energy with affordable, clean and safe fusion energy all around the world
We began in 2001 with Hubert and Stephen Lipinski's theoretical research on kinetic energy storage and how this storage effects gravity. Their paper Gravity Theory Based on Mass-Energy Equivalence was published in 2008.
Unified Gravity was established in 2007 in order to experimentally prove the Lipinski's theory and also to verify if it can be used for efficient power generation. This experimental testing began in 2007 and continued through 2014 in a variety of labs. In 2014, the company opened its own laboratory in Morgan Hill, CA and submitted its patent application for the Hydrogen Lithium Fusion Device, a novel technology to obtain highly energetic alpha particles resulting from proton-lithium fusion.
Currently, further research is being conducted concerning fusion drive ion thruster technology as well as the transfer of energy from alpha particles into direct electric current using various solid state methods. Sign up for the newsletter to get the latest news on our groundbreaking research.
Hubert and Stephen Lipinski began their theoretical research on kinetic energy storage
Gravity Theory Based on Mass-Energy Equivalence paper was published. Unified Gravity Corporation established.
The proton-lithium fusion reaction was produced in various locations as well as in Unified Gravity's R&D laboratory. The Hydrogen Lithium Fusion Device is published.
Further research is conducted on a high impulse fusion drive as well as the transfer of alpha particle energy directly into DC electric power.
The ultimate goal for the Unified Gravity Corporation is to manufacture and sell a fusion-based ion thruster and power generator for utilities, companies, and private consumers. We believe such power generator devices can be installed in every household and every car. The benefit of this technology is that it is both clean and safe – no radioactive substances are ever produced.
Hydrogen-lithium fusion contrasts sharply with traditional hot and cold fusion efforts. The different approaches are summarized and compared in the following table
|Unified Gravity
|Hot Fusion
|Cold Fusion
|Hydrogen and Lithium
|Deuterium and tritium
|Heavy water (D2O), hydrogen, and heavy elements
|Fusion creation
|Alternating negative and positive voltage applied to proton-lithium plasma
|Magnetic pulsing or laser heating
|D2O electrolysis and other combination techniques
|Room temperature
|100 million °C
|Room temperature
|Reaction chamber
|Magnetic bottle
|2 cubic feet
|Radioactivity (Byproducts)
|None (Helium ions)
|Strong (Neutrons)
|Strong (Neutrons)
We are fully aware our work cannot be explained by the current state of mainstream physics. Despite this, we were able to reproduce positive results in labs at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette and the University of North Texas with further experiments at our Morgan Hill laboratory. Because our fusion technology is patent pending, we are open for peer-review of our experimental tests. We encourage universities, institutions, and companies to explore and reproduce our results as we believe our technology holds the key to unlocking a paradigm shift in the way we create energy.
We are happy to setup meetings with those who are serious about replication assistance of our fusion process.

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello I'm Neal and I am here to help resolve your issue. If I cannot help I will opt out and refer your question to another expert.
Most likely it is going to be the fuel pump acting up randomly. The best way to confirm it would be to have a fuel pressure gauge on it when it acts up. The other possibility could be the ecm acting up, but it sounds more like the fuel pump, especially if you are not getting a check engine light or any codes.
1) What is an EMC?
2) Are either hard to replace?
I wouldn't say I am a novice but I certainly lack experience on mechanics. Is it something I could do if I got the tools and manuals ( and beer )?

Maria Riesch of Germany gets back on snow
Maria Riesch of Germany gets back on snow{mosimage}Maria Riesch of Germany, the alpine skier whose rapid rise to stardom has been complicated by injuries, got back on snow this week at the Rettenbach glacier above Soelden, Austria.
"The knee held and I could ski without pain," said Riesch, who is considered one of skiing's biggest talents. "Altogether the skiing was a lot of fun. I am glad that the on snow Olympic preparation finally begins for me."
Riesch, who comes from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, blew the ACL in her right knee six months ago, just a few weeks after finishing on the podium in a World Cup super G in St. Moritz, Switzerland. That podium itself (on December 21), came just a month after Riesch fell while training in Colorado and injured her shoulder, forcing her to sit out the November World Cup races in Aspen.
The 20-year-old tore her ACL at Cortina in January. Team doctor Ernst-Otto Muench performed surgery and oversaw her rehabilitation.

CANBERRA (Reuters Life!) - Robin Cook, credited as the inventor of the medical thriller, was a doctor who never set out to be a writer but he just wanted to find a way to explain medical issues to people in an entertaining, understandable way.
Cook, an American physician turned novelist, now has 30 books to his name which have sold nearly 100 million copies. Many of his books have been turned into TV movies, mini-series and feature length movies.
His latest novel, "Cure," released on August 10, is set in Japan and New York and deals with the problematic intersection of big business and medicine, the cut-throat world of medical patents, and stem cell technology.
Cook, 70, whose books include "Coma," "Brain," and "Mortal Fear," spoke to Reuters about writing:
Q: Why did you decide to start writing?
A: "I thought it would be a good way for people to learn about medicine and the problems of medical care and ethics and research. I realized medicine was picking up speed in terms of research but people were falling behind in their understanding of the issues. Everyone thought it was so difficult that they couldn't understand it but I thought it was important that people did understand medical issues."
Q: Was it hard to get people's interest?
A: "No, because there has always been a lot of interest in medical TV shows and medical movies but all the medical books prior to my writing were novels that suggested everything was fine. "Coma" really shocked everyone. It was about medicine and the doctors were the bad guys. "Coma" changed the landscape."
Q: Had you had any training in creative writing?
A: "Not at all but I took on a couple of projects, reading "Jaws" and "Love Story" which were both written as movies first. I wrote "Coma" as a movie first and then the book. But I had to learn the long way. Between my first book and my second book I attempted to give myself a course in creative writing. I never knew I would end up a writer."
Q: How did you teach yourself to write?
A: "I read a ton of books, particularly best-sellers. Until then I was so busy all the time that I had never read a best-seller. When I was at medical school I worked at night and as an undergraduate you needed to get good grades to get into a good medical school so I was a very diligent student."
Q: Do you ever run short of ideas for your books?
A: "I seem to have a lot of ideas. I have this sense of medicine being in such disarray worldwide. There is also the pace of change of discovery which means that almost every year we have some major discovery that leads to ethical issues. I could probably speed up and not run out of things to write about."
Q: Are you still involved in medicine as well as writing?
A: "I don't have a private practice but I still maintain my association with my teaching hospital and I read widely in medicine to stay very current otherwise I would be writing about issues from 50 years ago that don't have a lot of significance today. I still think of myself more as a doctor than a writer."
Q: Where did the idea for "Cure" come from?
A: "I have been interested in stem cell issues from the beginning because it is so important. I became more interested when I saw it was going to get caught up in politics and it put us back about 10 years or so. In 2006 when I saw you could create stem cells without having to use anything to do with embryos I saw that as an immense breakthrough and I have been surprised how little the general public knows about that. Stem cells will revolutionize medicine although it is being pushed back by politics and religion now."
Q: Are you disciplined toward your writing?
A: "Absolutely. I get up and sit myself down even if I want to do something different. You have to push yourself. You have to find that kind of discipline. I figured it out a long time ago. I have to have a separate place in my house to write. Writing is not easy. It takes a lot of effort."
Q: Any advice for aspiring writers?
A: "Most of the best writers that I know have experience in some other career first. I say to people who want to be writers get some experience in something, be it as a physician or a teacher or something."

A pretty relaxing game with handsome Ethan popping up now and then...
My reaction wasn't: "OMG, this game seems awesome!" when I read the description a few days ago. I recalled though that I tried the demo long time ago, but my only memory from it was this reaction: "OMG, that man is gorgeous!!" The game was on sale and I consulted a friend if it would be a bad idea to buy a game only because of a handsome guy. "Of course not, if it isn't a terrible game and you'll get a look at him once in a while." Usually the main characters aren't visible, but this gorgeous man was. A few times he even scared the hell out of me when he popped up.
I don't regret my purchase even though this feels like an average game, that doesn't offer anything remarkable (except for handsome Ethan). It was pleasant to play, I enjoyed it and I'm sure that I will play it again.
The graphics, sound and voice overs are good. In some HOS it is a bit fuzzy and there are only voice overs in the big cutscenes (no lip movements though), otherwise it's only text. The HOS are only standard lists and they are revisited. I found a few of them pretty hard in the wrong way. The mini games aren't especially hard, one made me mad though. I was supposed to switch domino tiles, but when I put one on the other they didn't switch, instead jumped back to its usual place. I don't know what I did wrong. Tried other ways too, but without success.
The pretty useless map shows your location, nothing else. I didn't miss the map, the locations were easy to find and I had no hard time remembering for example where I can use the knife I just found. The hint is directional and works well. This is a CE, but there are no achievements or collectables whatsoever, only a bonus game that took me 90 minutes to complete and some wallpapers etc and soundtracks.
The bonus game is a prequel without Ethan. It was fun too. Overall, this is a pretty long and easy adventure with many HOS. A lot of running back and forth, but with beautiful graphics, nice story and in my opinion a very handsome man.
I think every beginners and people who'd like a relaxing game should try it.

Compression eases Live Migration process in Windows Server 2012 R2

Although migration is typically regarded as a fast and reliable process, it can take several minutes or longer depending on factors such as virtual machine (VM) size, physical distance between the source and destination servers as well as bandwidth and network conditions prevailing during the migration process. For example, it can be much faster to migrate a small VM between two local data center servers across a lightly used network than to migrate a large VM between two remote servers through heavy LAN and WAN traffic.
Migration cannot control the latency between distant servers or the traffic congestion affecting the network, but it's possible to minimize the size of the VM by applying compression to the VHD or VHDX file before migration. You would then decompress the file once it arrives at the destination server.
This is the basis for Live Migration compression. By making the VM file smaller, it can be transferred between systems faster in heavy network traffic with fewer dropped or resent packets. The additional computing overhead needed to compress and decompress files is negligible on modern servers.
It's important to remember that compression works by locating and removing redundant data within a file, and replacing redundant data with small tokens that take up less space. Therefore, files with large amounts of redundant content can achieve high compression, while files with little redundant data only compress a small amount. This means different VMs will likely compress to different levels at different times, but Microsoft claims compression can generally double migration performance. IT administrators should take the time to test the effects of Live Migration compression before enabling the feature on Windows Server 2012 R2 systems in production.

Insurance Worry for Breast Reduction. Do You Think I Will Be Approved?

Insurance Coverage and Breast Reduction
Each #insurance company has their own policy regarding #BreastReduction coverage. The best thing to do is schedule a visit with a plastic surgeon who can contact your insurance company for authorization after performing a #breast examination and documentation of your symptoms. You should also consider going to your primary physician for an examination and documentation as well. Insurance companies have a number of requirements and an examination will be able to determine if you are a candidate for reduction.
Although some practices do not accept insurance, their staff may be able to assist you in obtaining pre-authorization. Then you can attempt to be reimbursed for out of pocket expenses.

Every insurance plan has their own unique criteria on whether they will cover a breast reduction. More and more, we are seeing plans where a breast reduction is not a covered benefit. If it is a covered benefit, some insurance plans set a minimum required amount of tissue to be remove in order to met their threshold for coverage. Some set the amount in relation to your BMI (height and weight). Others require extensive medical records documenting neck pain, back pain, and history of rashes. The other alternative is to opt for a breast reduction as a self-pay option. Start by visiting with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.Best wishes,

Insurance approval
At 5'3 and 175 lbs, your body surface area is 1.87 meters squared. If you have Aetna insurance, they would require 740 grams removed. If you are 32 or 34 then each cup size corresponds to 100 cc's, if you are 36 or 38 then each cup size corresponds to 200 cc's and if you are 40 or 42 then each cup size corresponds to 300 cc's. Using this information, you can predict the size you would end up, which may or may not be satisfactory. Also, insurance companies require you to have symptoms such as pain, rashes or infection, which you have not described. Gaining approval will require letters from your primary care physician, gynecologist or chiropractor describing symptoms of back pain, infections or complications.
Best of Luck,

Insurance Approval for Breast Reduction?
As much as I would like to be able to provide you with reassurance, only communication with your insurance company will be helpful in doing so. It won't hurt for you to call the insurance company; hopefully you will be able to make contact with a helpful person who can tell you the status of your "authorization".
Best wishes.

Breast reduction approval
I think that you have good cause to be a bit nervous. Most insurance companies respond within a few weeks and almost all within a month of the request being issued. I would simply call your insurance company and ask for a status update on your case. You are going to have to endure a few voice prompts, but it will be worth finding out for sure. Even though your surgery is scheduled, I doubt that your surgeon will perform your surgery before there is either an approval from the insurance company or he is holding your check for the out of pocket cost of the procedure. But the worst thing for you would be for you to get bills in the mail from your surgeon, the anestheia team, and the hospital in the case that it wasn't approved.

I blame Windows RT. If they had seamless integration between phone and W8, devs would probably be more keen on developing for the platform. But Microsoft wants to have their walled garden version wedged in between, which has been a failure so far. So instead of WP W8, they have WP RT.
