text: Culture 19 July 2012 In the Critics this week Geoffrey Wheatcroft on the crisis of Zionism, Stuart Maconie on the Smiths, Helen Lewis on Fifty Shades, Kate Mossman on pop music's nerds and John Sutherland on English studies. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The leader in this week's New Statesman warns that the window of opportunity for a "two-state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is increasingly imperilled. Many figures on both sides of the debate have moved towards favouring a single binational, secular state. In the Critics section, Geoffrey Wheatcroft reviews Peter Beinart's book The Crisis of Zionism, which charts the former New Republic editor's increasing disenchantment with Israel - typical of the problematic relationship between American Jews and Israel. Wheatcroft writes: "The settler and Palestinian populations are now so mixed up that a rational and fair partition is practically impossible." Beinart remains a Zionist who believes that "the Jewish people deserve a state dedicated to their protection in their historic land" and as such, Wheatcroft observes, makes for a rather unlikely dissident. But a gulf has opened, Wheatcroft writes, "between the broadly liberal Jewish-American mainstream and the ferociously, uncritically pro-Israeli official "Jewish establishment"". In many ways, the reaction to Zionism means we have come full circle, Wheatcroft writes. "A hundred years ago Zionism was an esoteric doctrine, little understood by most Gentiles and of little appeal to most Jews". Wheatcroft notes that Beinart belongs to a line of thinking which believes "that there was a decent Zionism and a decent Israel in the state's early decades when it was ruled by Labour" – a view that Wheatcroft is keen to dispel. Wheatcroft also examines Norman Finkelstein's Knowing Too Much. Finkelstein writes that the problem for American Jews is that they "can no longer reconcile their liberalism with what they have come to know about the Israel-Palestine conflict". Wheatcroft finds that Finkelstein makes for a vexing writer, "who treats fraught or delicate topics such as Zionism or what he calls the 'Holocaust industry' in a sarcastic and rebarbative tone". But Finkelstein does remind us that "the triumph of Israel was once not only a source of healing pride for American Jews but paradoxically made it easier for them to remain American". "Gradually, from being a boon, Israel has become a burden for many Jews," Wheatcroft observes. Also in Books, Stuart Maconie reviews Johnny Rogan's Morrissey and Marr: the Severed Alliance – 20th Anniversary Edition. Rogan's 1992 biography of the Smiths "astonished most with its Herculean endeavour", despite having one especially prominent critic – Morrissey. Twenty years later, Maconie still finds the book "the definitive if daunting account of the most romantically mythic band of those times". Given Morrissey's mythologising approach to his upbringing, Rogan takes an almost paleontological approach to the Smiths' prehistory, tackling the group's family histories in detail. And while Morrissey's brushes with scandal today border on the absurd, "Rogan reminds us of how genuinely subversive the Smiths were at the time, both musically and ideologically". Most telling, perhaps, is how the Smiths' "tortured, arcane financial arrangements underpin the whole narrative". Far from a story of artistic detachment, "there is much that reads like accountancy here," Maconie writes, with "many a page given to bank statements, receipts and the labyrinthine ways that the money was (unevenly) split between the members". Also in the Critics, John Sutherland wonders if change has been good for university English studies. "Centrality is the principal issue," Sutherland writes. "Departments of English now occupy a position in the university constellation comparable to Uranus in the collar system." Universities caused political alarm through the 1960s and 1970s as centres of protest. "One way to bring them to heel was to use funding as a short leash drawn throttlingly tight", Sutherland observes, "less for frugality than to show who was in charge". Extra-departmental management followed, aimed at introducing "that idolised thing at the time, 'competition'". The mandatory PhD for entry-level academics and field specialism have produced a shift in which "a subject that had hitherto fostered the undoctored jack of all trades gradually fragmented into a mosaic of doctored specialists". Heavy undergraduate fees have merely capped off what Sutherland sees as the inexorable deterioration of English studies. In this week's Critic At Large essay, Helen Lewis looks at how E L James's erotic bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey can be better understood as a throwback to the 18th century. Lewis looks back to 1740, with the publication of Pamela by Samuel Richardson – the first bestseller. Just as James's work began life in the "slash fiction" genre, with its inferior and feminine associations, Richardson worked "in the upstart novel genre at a time when the heroic couplets of Alexander Pope were regarded as literature's finest form". And in many ways, the tame sex and minimalist plotting make Fifty Shades a deeply conventional story. "The "mummy porn" label applied by the media might not be as dismissive as it initially sounds", Lewis writes. Also in the Critics, Kate Mossman looks at how a generation of nerds is writing music for grown-ups. "Interesting things happen at the point where ambition meets anonymity", Mossman writes, "you can be a fully formed artistic product before the world even knows you exist". Mossman examines the Belgian-born Australian singer-songwriter Gotye, responsible for the biggest-selling song in the world this year – "Somebody That I Used To Know". Gotye spent his twenties living in a former family home in Melbourne "rent-free, tooling around with vintage synths to his heart's content". Gotye, along with Kimbra and Monáe – musicians who sound like 1980s pop stars – have been defined above all by an isolated upbringing. The reach of the internet and laptop technology mean "there's a new route for the old-fashioned pop star". It's all about perfectionism, Mossman argues: "The more nerdy you are, the more artistic control you retain. The penniless, jack-of-all trades musician can take punk's DIY ethic and reach the world with it now". Elsewhere in the Critics: Suzy Klein on the great conductors; Yo Zushi on the rise of David Bowie; Leo Robson on Dana Spiotta's Stone Arabia; Rachel Cooke on Wallander; Antonia Quirke on the final broadcast from Bush House; Ryan Gilbey reviews the latest Batman film, and Will Self is seduced by his new smartphone. › Rio Ferdinand seems to think his "choc-ice banter" is a private conversation One half of a severed alliance: Morrissey (Photo: Getty Images) Subscribe from just £1 per issue More Related articles Look What You Made Me Do: Taylor Swift's reinvention game falls flat How to talk about Harry Potter if you've never read Harry Potter Everyday superheroes - how pop culture can help overcome trauma Subscription offer 12 issues for £12 + FREE book LEARN MORE Close This week's magazine

I have a riffle that was handed down through the generations. It is a Mauser 98 action as far as I can tell. It has had custom work done to it. It was originally a 300 savage it is now a 308 win. I would like to find out some more on it. I want to get rid of the wood stock and get a Hogue stock and want to make sure it will fit this gun. Hogue has a stock for a Mauser 98. Im planning on handing it down to my son just as my Grandfather and Father did. Just want to update it a little. I have pics but they are not that good. On the bolt release side It has a bird,2067y and Kar 98 stamped on it. On the bolt side it has B Sc and a M all with crowns stamped above them. The B is the only one Im sure of the Sc and M Im just guessing on. Thats what it looks like but I cant make the exact symbols on the computer. Thanks for your time.

Numero Uno Cuban Restaurant
The fact that the owners of Numero Uno Cuban Restaurant chose a location with a dining room that seats up to 72 people is no coincidence. Embracing their Cuban heritage, they and their kitchen staff put an emphasis on family-style dining, showcasing a cuisine famous for tender, grilled meats, roast chicken, and stewed seafood. Each dish is an explosion of color and flavor, with shredded ropa vieja mingling with tomato and green peppers, and sides of earthy black beans or saffron-tinged yellow rice accenting entrees. Seafood staples such as whole fried snapper and lobster stew come in single or party-sized servings with the restaurant's catering services.

Prior to the season even starting, there was already going to be one new champion crowned in Hershey this year. Defending Class AA champion Lancaster Catholic moved up to Class AAA this year, guaranteeing that the Crusaders would not repeat, at least at that level.
This weekend brought another change. Not only did Lancaster Catholic officially bow out of the playoffs with a 27-7 loss to Bishop McDevitt, but defending Class AAAA champion Central Dauphin will not repeat as champion. The Rams fell to Harrisburg 27-21 in the District 3 semifinals.
Central Dauphin had lived dangerously all year, losing to Bishop McDevitt and coming back to win several close games in the final minutes or in overtime. The hole was just too big for the Rams this weekend. Harrisburg roared out to a 27-0 halftime lead, and it appeared Central Dauphin was cooked. But Brandon LaVia, Drew Scales, and Zayd Issah had one last rally.
LaVia tossed touchdowns to each player, and Issah had a 40-yard touchdown run, to pull Central Dauphin within a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. But a late pass fell incomplete, and Harrisburg held on. It was almost a repeat of the regular season contest, which Harrisburg lost 24-21 in overtime.
"This was a heavyweight fight. I knew they weren't going to go away. I knew they would come back punching," Harrisburg coach Calvin Everett told the Harrisburg Patriot-News. "And they hammered us a few times. Luckily, we didn't go to our knees and stay down. We got back up. I knew they were going to hit us."
Not only did the loss end a turbulent season for Central Dauphin, but it also marked the continuation of a streak that's now over a decade long. No Class AAAA state champion has repeat as champion since Central Bucks West capped the 90s with three straight titles. Meanwhile, Lancaster Catholic's move to Class AAA guaranteed that Class AA's streak of never having a repeat champion will also continue.
The games are supposed to get tougher as the season progresses, but for some teams, the playoffs have brought out the best in their offenses. Aliquippa's dominance of Washington and West Allegheny's romp over West Mifflin have already been documented on PaPreps, but the two WPIAL schools were far from alone in running wild this weekend.
Erie McDowell doesn't have a pretty record, but the Trojans were busy fighting off the best of Ohio much of the year. Now that they're in the playoffs, the Class AAAA Trojans have wielded their option offense like a battering ram. Against State College, McDowell backs James Conner and Khyre Drayer pounded out 301 yards between the two of them in a 42-0 romp.
"That was one of the best physical efforts we've had since I've been here. Both sides of the ball, we were as physical as we've been all season," McDowell coach Mark Soboleski told the Erie Times-News.
Conner, a Pitt commit originally recruited for defense but opening eyes for his running ability, picked up 213 yards on 20 carries. Drayer added another 88 yards, and the duo scored four McDowell touchdowns.
In the opposite corner of the state, Coatesville was busy putting an unexpected whipping on Neshaminy. The Red Raiders stacked up 515 yards against Neshaminy, winning a 63-28 rout that caught everyone by surprise.
Coatesville rattled off 514 total yards in the game, 313 of which came courtesy of a masterful performance by quarterback Emmett Hunt. Hunt completed 12-of-13 passes, tossing four touchdowns. Hunt connected with receiver Chris Jones on five of those passes for 156 yards.
"We knew he was really good," Neshaminy defensive back Steve Olenski told the Bucks County Courier Times. "I can't say we were surprised by that. We knew from watching them on film that the kid had a cannon (for an arm). He can really sling it. We prepared for it. I don't know what happened."
Running back Daquan Worley chipped in another 182 yards and three touchdowns in the effort for Coatesville, which erased a 216 yard, 4-touchdown performance from Neshaminy RB Nate Hall.
Several other teams launched punishing ground attacks at their opponents this weekend. West York overwhelmed Susquehanna Township 31-7 with a group that racked up 353 yards on the ground, including three backs with over 80 yards. Parkland hammered out 402 yards on the ground in its 49-41 shootout against Delaware Valley, including 226 yards and three touchdowns from Jared Elder.
Wyomissing also ran wild, as it had two 100-yard performances - including 119 yards and three touchdowns from Alex Anzalone - in a 44-0 rout of Bermudian Springs. In all, Wyomissing had 411 rushing yards in the blowout.
Part of what's made Cathedral Prep so dangerous this year is the dual-threat of quarterback Damion Terry in the backfield. Terry's torched most defenses with his arm, slinging it all over the field for 2,867 yards and 43 touchdowns. But the Michigan State commit can also run, picking up nine more scores on the ground.
But even he can't compete at times with what teammate Delton Williams does. Williams, also a Michigan State commit, has been one of Terry's top receiving threats all year. He's also Prep's leading rusher and a force in the secondary. Friday night, he gave General McLane a taste of what he can do in all three phases of the game.
Williams scored on a running play, a fumble return, and a punt return in propelling Prep to a 48-14 win. It was part of a game that featured three touchdowns without the Prep offense touching the ball. Williams' two returns were augmented by a kick return from Jake DeHart.
- Bristol running back Donte Simmons carried a heavy load in a 20-0 upset of undefeated Williams Valley. Simmons carried 40 times for 218 yards and scored all three touchdowns for Bristol. The win was Bristol's first ever victory in a state playoff game.
- Special teams made the difference for Interboro in a 14-12 win over West Chester Henderson. Henderson had a distinct advantage in total yards, but missed an extra point attempt early in the game and couldn't connect on a two-point conversion later. Interboro also pinned Henderson deep into their own territory with several punts, flipping field position in their favor.
- Pen Argyl running back Mike DePaolo ran for 219 yards and scored three touchdowns in a 21-7 win over Wyoming. DePaolo carried 32 times in place of injured running back Mike Racciato, who was limited for much of the second half.
- Allentown Central Catholic running back Colin McDermott has taken well to the spotlight, and another star performance kept his team alive in the playoffs for one more week. McDermott, now the focal point of the ACC offense, ran for 260 yards and scored three touchdowns as the Vikings beat Abington Heights 23-0.
- Bishop McDevitt quarterback Alec Werner completed 18-of-23 passes for 327 yards and two touchdowns in McDevitt's 27-7 win over Lancaster Catholic. In the process, receiver Brian Lemelle caught nine passes for 121 yards, giving him 251 receptions for his career. Lemelle is now the state's all-time leading receiver, as the effort pushed him past Kevin Gulyas for the all-time mark. Lemelle was already the state's record holder in receiving yards.

Critical Praise
"Vincenzi pulls out all the stops in this orchestral saga. . . . The mystery of who [Baby Bianca's] mother is serves as the spine of this fat, satisfying novel . . . The various narrative themes crescendo through several all-hands-on-deck scenes . . . the women are, without exception, multifaceted, smart and brave, and their happiness is hard won. A U.K. bestseller, the book offers major escape and abandon for summer."
——Publishers Weekly starred review
"It's time Americans caught Vincenzi fever, because it's almost a crime she's not better known here . . . Everything is outsized in Vincenzi's fiction: sex, money, personality, emotions, plot. And yet she gets all the details --- about human behavior and women's conflicted lives --- just right. It's perfect escapism."
——USA Today
"She's the plot-twist queen."
——Adriana Trigiani, author of the Big Stone Gap trilogy and The Queen of the Big Time

Olivier Giroud is 90 per cent an Arsenal player, says Arsene Wenger
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed France forward Olivier Giroud is close to signing for the club next season.
The 25-year-old, who was last year's top scorer in Ligue 1 for champions Montpellier, is widely expected to sign for the Gunners when France's Euro 2012 adventure comes to an end.
Arsenal are believed to have met Giroud's £12million release clause, and Wenger admitted his fellow countryman is just one step away from completing his move to north London.
The Frenchman told TF1: 'Giroud didn't play much, but he's going to be an Arsenal player 90 per cent next season.
'I think he has exceptional potential and will integrate very well in our collective and our way of playing.'He's a real team player and knows how to combine with other players and I'm sure he will do well with us.'
Arsenal have already bolstered their attacking ranks this summer with the purchase of Lukas Podolski, and the former Cologne man has made a good impression on Wenger following some impressive performances for Germany.
'Podolski did a great job for the German team, he has superb team work,' added the Gunners boss.
'He plays in a cautious way sometimes, but he's still scored a very important goal against Denmark for his 100th cap.'I am very happy with what I've seen from him.'

FIREFIGHTERS rescued a man who was in a diabetic coma — after he collapsed making toast.
Emergency crews were called to the smoke-filled home in Nevis Grove, Astley Bridge, at about 8.50pm on Friday when neighbours heard the smoke alarm.
Firefighters broke down the front door and discovered the 53-year-old man collapsed in his bedroom.
The man had fallen into a diabetic coma while making toast in the kitchen.
Paramedics had to resuscitate the man in the front garden while concerned neighbours looked on. Shelley Masters, aged 24, of Nevis Grove, said: "We were banging on the windows and door but we couldn't stir him. We called the fire service right away.
"When they got him out they had to resuscitate him on the lawn. It was awful because he was so confused. The whole street was outside. We're just hoping he'll be okay now."
Another neighbour, who asked not to be named, said: "I heard the fire alarm and I could see the smoke coming from the kitchen. It's actually the second time I've had to do this because we all know he's diabetic.
"He should be okay now, we hope. I was just looking out for a neighbour."
Watch manager Gary Hodson, of Bolton North station, said: "There was some smoke in the flat when we arrived so we had no choice but to break the door down to get the man out.
"We believe he had fallen into a diabetic coma.
"Paramedics treated him on the scene before taking him to hospital.
"It is a good job a smoke alarm was fitted in this property so that the neighbours were alerted to what could have been a much more serious fire."
There was minor damage to the grill of the cooker.

We also talk about the fascinating symbiotic relationships between plants, animals and insects in the primary rainforest and why saving it is so important to our future. We grow a large part of our own fruits which are enjoyed by guests and birds alike. Our 15 acres of lush cultivated gardens provide host to a wide range of edible plant species including citrus, banana, plantain, avocado, starfruit, guanabana, jackfruit, mango, heart of palm, ginger, papaya, pineapple, yucca, cashew, almond and water apple. There are also medicinal plants like noni, aloe and hombre grande.
Birding (more than 300 species of birds):
Due to the abundant fruits, and the diversity of Piedras Blancas National Park, a wide range of birds can be spotted on any given day. The primary rainforest area comprising our lodge supports hundreds of different species of birds, including the Fiery-billed Aracari and the Blue-crowned Motmot featured to the right as well as Scarlet Macaws, and a variety of trogons. Toucans and tanagers abound and the delightful "chip-chip" of hummingbirds can be heard every mornings and evenings. Bring your field guide and binoculars and you will surely be delighted by the diversity.
Relaxing (and a great place to do it):
Feel like doing nothing? We get it. It's your vacation and your time to do what you want to, just relax, breathe the fragrant tropical air and nourish the soul. Read a book on the beach. Take a nap in the hammock. Hang out and scan the gulf for dolphins. The beauty of relaxing at our lodge is there's still plenty to experience while just taking it easy.
Snorkeling (swim amongst exotic tropical fish):
- Los Mogos:
* The area of Los Mogos is a natural biological corridor connecting the Osa Peninsula and the Rio Esquinas area.

* Los Mogos Snorkeling Tour 40 USD per person.

I want to try the Ulthera therapy in HK, when i know the affected zone will be in quite deep area underneath the skin near muscles, i am concerning the effect on my facial nerves, when i asked the doctor, he couldn't assure me so much....therefore i want to make sure with this.
Will Ulthera Cause Damage to Facial Nerves?
Doctor Answers 4
Ultherapy and Nerve damage - rare
Key point to remember is that if the patient is experiencing undue pain or tingling while the procedure is being done, the energy setting should be reduced to prevent the likelihood of these problems in 2 areas:
1) over the brows especially if the patient feels tingling and pain shooting over the scalp and forehead
2) near the jawline for the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.
Surgical anatomic pearl : The relation of the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve with the inferior border of the mandible is extremely important. The marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve is always above the inferior border of the mandible while anterior to the facial artery.
Read the Ultherapy book provided on the link below.

Ulthera and Facial Nerve Damage
Thank you for taking the time to ask your question. The nice thing about Ultherapy is that the depth of the treatment is controlled by which transducer is used. When treating the deeper layers of the skin, injury to the facial nerve should not occur since the energy of the delivered treatment is on the surrounding fascia of the muscle. In the face, the nerve is usually much deeper and innervates the muscle from its underside and therefore should not be affected. Granted proper technique should be used.
Ultherapy and Nerve Damage
The basis of Ultherapy is use of focused ultrasound waves to cause deeper tissue neocollagenesis and subsequent soft tissue tightening. Ultherapy is also a very safe treatment and permanent injury to sensory or motor nerves is hard to imagine. The only possible way this could occur is via pulse stacking, which should not happen in the hands of an experienced Ultherapist.

Ultherapy safe but risks exist including nerves
There have been no permanent problems with nerves reported by the company to-date. There have been temporary areas of sensitivity along sensory nerves such as the forehead nerves that transmit sensation from the scalp and some scalp paresthesias were noted to occur but spontaneoulsy improved. The marginal mandibular nerve along the front of the jaw near the chin can cause a temporary weakness in pulling down the corner of the mouth when trying to open fully. This neuropraxia has been reported rarely to occur and has been self limiting, but caution is now taken not to treat that area of the jaw and lower cheek right near the chin.
Overall, Ultherapy has proven its safety via the numbers of procedures done.

You have the option to import legacy settings from the Symantec System Center when you migrate from Symantec AntiVirus to Symantec Endpoint Protection. However, since this import is not required, you want more information about the process, which settings the Migration Wizard imports, and under which circumstances importing legacy settings might be beneficial.
You are not required to import legacy settings from the Symantec System Center into the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager with the Migration Wizard. You can install the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager into the environment and deploy Symantec Endpoint Protection to existing Symantec AntiVirus clients. To migrate the Symantec AntiVirus clients and servers to Symantec Endpoint Protection client, you must uninstall Symantec AntiVirus and install Symantec Endpoint Protection. The Symantec Endpoint Protection client deployment does this process automatically. The migration does not import client-side settings from Symantec AntiVirus to Symantec Endpoint Protection.
The following settings are imported:
- Antivirus scanning exclusions, which appear in the Exceptions policy.
- Antivirus policies
The following settings are not imported:
- Tamper Protection
- Scheduled scans
- LiveUpdate
- Quarantine purge or custom Quarantine Directory settings
- Custom communications settings, since the mode of communication has changed with the architecture
- Any other setting that is Symantec System Center-specific
- Firewall policies (Symantec System Center only)
- Any settings changed directly on the client
- You have an organizational hierarchy and infrastructure established that you prefer to continue to use, including policy inheritance and client group structure.
- You have specific or highly specialized settings you wish to bring over.
- In the enterprise version, migrating the client group structure may make client migration easier for larger, more complex client group structures. The process of migration assigns existing clients to their respective groups, to which they will check in once Symantec Endpoint Protection is deployed. You do not need to individually create and deploy a group-specific installation package for each group. You only need to ensure that you unlock server groups before you begin. To deploy the client, you first export the installation package. However, when you export the package, you must uncheck group-specific options, including unchecking Add clients automatically to the selected group. You then deploy through the Client Deployment Wizard using an Existing Package Deployment.
See: Exporting client Installation packages
- Your current organizational hierarchy and/or infrastructure within the Symantec System Center no longer meet your needs. You would prefer to start fresh and redesign the structure.
- If your current organizational hierarchy is based on the Symantec AntiVirus architecture of AV servers and AV clients, you may wish to design a new one based on other criteria, such as company department, administrative responsibility, or physical location or subnet. Symantec Endpoint Protection's architecture is radically different than Symantec AntiVirus'; in Symantec Endpoint Protection, there is a management console, and all computers are considered clients. All computers include servers and workstations, even the computer to which the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager is installed.
- If you did not make significant changes to the default Symantec AntiVirus/Symantec System Center installation, there is no reason to prepare for or implement a migration of settings from Symantec AntiVirus.
- If you have a complex organizational structure and you are migrating to the Small Business Edition, you would have to create and deploy individual packages for each group in order to retain that client organization. This may mean a large administrative overhead.
If you choose not to import your settings from the Symantec System Center, you can install Symantec Endpoint Protection as if you are doing so for the first time.
- Getting up and running on Symantec Endpoint Protection for the first time
- Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1: Installing the Manager for the first time and deploying clients
However you decide to proceed, we recommend that you defer the migration of your primary and secondary Symantec AntiVirus servers until you migrate all Symantec AntiVirus clients to Symantec Endpoint Protection. The Symantec AntiVirus servers will continue to provide antivirus content to the Symantec AntiVirus clients until you migrate them.
Applies To
Symantec AntiVirus 10.x or Symantec Client Security 3.x, migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection

Once conventional wisdom always was to put 20 percent down when buying a car -- that's changed. Although the average amount of deposit made on a used car is now about 11.5 percent according to Edmunds, determining the amount of deposit, or upfront money, to pay varies depending on circumstances.
Credit Rating
A major function of a deposit is to lower the risk to the lender if you default on your loan. Buyers with subprime credit scores, or below 670, present a higher risk to lenders than those with higher scores. Lenders will only tolerate a certain amount of risk; so the lower your credit scores, the higher percentage down payment that may be required to gain approval for the loan.
Type of Car
Some makes and models depreciate slower than others. One goal is to never owe more on a car than it is worth. If you pay only 5 percent down on a car that depreciates 15 percent a year, you may become upside down, or owe more than the car is worth, after the first year. If your car is stolen or totaled, insurance often only will give you a check for the value of the car. If you owe more than that, you'll be stuck with a loan and no car. Likewise, if, for some reason you want to sell the car before the end of the loan period, its sales price won't cover repayment of the loan. Researching car depreciation rates through sources such as Kelley Blue Book can help you calculate what size down payment is required to keep you right side up.
Monthly Budget
The more you pay down, the smaller your monthly payment will be each month. In general, your monthly payment will decrease by $25 to $30 for each $1,000 more in deposit, according to Autobytel.
Interest Rate
Another factor is the interest rate relative to how much you can earn by investing the money. For example, if you will only be paying 5 percent annual interest on your car loan, but are earning 7 percent by keeping your money in a mutual fund account, you'd be better off leaving as much money in the mutual account as you can.
Lowering the Down Payment
If you want to keep the down payment low consider the following actions:
- Wait to buy until your credit scores improve.
- Look for gap insurance coverage, which will pay any difference between what you owe and what the insurance company typically would pay if you totaled the car.
- Buy a less expensive car
- Offer your old car as a trade-in and apply the trade-in received to your cash deposit.

The fickle hair follicle
January 31, 2011
Medical news correspondent, Dr. Jennifer Ashton, gave hope to the balding on the January 6, 2011 edition of CBS's "The Early Show." A study at the University of Pennsylvania asked the question, "Do stem cells have an effect on baldness?"
In the study, bald male scalps were compared with those of men with hair in an effort to see if those with hair, and those without, have the same number of stem cells. Stem cells, found in all multi cellular organisms, have the ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types – in this case the much sought after, but fickle, hair follicle.
The study found that the bald men and the men with hair had the same number of stem cells. However, the bald men had fewer of a "more mature type of cell." Therefore, the thinking is that the stem cells of bald men may become deactivated. Now, the goal is to find treatment to activate the deactivated stem cells.
This bodes well for the future, but what if you are currently disturbed by significant hair loss?
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), "By age 50, about 50% of American men, and a substantial number of women, are affected by hair loss, much of which is hereditary."
Micro-hair transplantation is a state-of-the-art hair transplantation technique that has replaced 'plugs' or larger grafts of hair. To find a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon in your area, go to the ASAPS website.

Cris Carter unloaded on the Dallas Cowboys during Monday Night Countdown.
The Cowboys blew a 23-point lead and lost to the Packers 37-36 to move to 7-7. Late in the game, Joe Buck said, "The Cowboys have gone away from their running game, which is impossible to explain."
Buck also said, "This is going to go down as one of the worst defeats in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. I go back to play-calling offense, not running the ball when they had the lead when Green Bay showed they couldn't stop the run."
After the game, Jerry Jones, who recently backed his head coach, made an utterly amazing statement. Jones said, "I was firm for one night (about Garrett) at that time and that doesn't call for me having to be firm every morning I get up."
This evening, Carter said, "Nothing is going to change in Dallas. I don't know why we're pondering like something…
Chris Berman interjected, "Because they're Dallas."
Carter said, "Well, let me tell you what they are. They're like when you go through the drive-thru and say you want a No. 2 and they ask you if you want it jumbo-sized or super-sized. They (the Cowboys) are super sorry, Boom. I'm talking about sorry.
"They are a sorry football team; they are a sorry outfit and I don't even know why we have great expectations for them. Like they are sorry. Not sorry like 'I'm sorry I talked to you that way.' Sorry as in performance. And I don't' expect it to change and I don't expect it to get any better. I don't expect Jerry to come up with any… This is what Jerry is doing right now. It's going to be this way for a long time."
READ: Who should be the next head coach of the Texas Longhorns
Keyshawn believes Jason Garrett isn't the right man for the job, adding that the head coach next to be an authoritative person like Parcells was.
Carter said, "Jerry Jones is not hiring no one who tells him what to do. Call him."
The crazy part is that at 7-7, the Cowboys still control their own destiny to get into the playoffs. It could come down the final week of the regular season when Dallas plays Philadelphia.

Question: What do you think
Total Votes: 174
I don't understand why when someone talks about bills, they always say 'well do you have a college fund set up' as if its some mandatory expense like a mortgage or electric.
We are not low income. We are not rich, but we are well off.
I absolutely can afford to have a college fund set up for my child.
But i refuse to do so.
my daughter is 15. and she understands and agrees with me.
See...I don't believe in just handing everything over to my child. especially once she is an adult.
next year she will be buying her own car. she is already saving up for it. and will be getting a job as soon as she reaches the legal age limit for work. *this summer*
when she decides on college, she will be the one to work for it.
Life doesn't just hand you everything. Anything you have and get, you have to WORK for. and to me that includes your college education.
She can apply for a loan, grants, or get a job and work her way through college.
So...please bash away :)
That being said, we want to be able to give our children the absolute very best start in their adult lives. To us, that means paying for their educations.
I don't care what you do for you kid, no bashing here.
However as someone who's had to raise and support herself since 14 years old, I see the other side of having no help in life.
So a college fund was important for me and my husband to establish even when we were struggling we always found a way to put some aside for the kid.
Turns out he went another route with his life, but that money is still there, incase he changes his mind or when he buys a house.
Your child......Your decision
I paid for all of my kids (4 so far, still have 2 to go) college expenses and all of my grandkids have money in a savings account that will cover all of their college expenses
My girls are 8 months old each and we started their college fund already. By the time they are 18 there should be about 100k for each of them. They can use it for a car... and apartment... college.For cars and apartments, we'll still make them pay for part of it; for college we'll probably have them do a few loans; then help them pay them off so they build their credit too.
I get the idea of not paying for kids college; but if its not paid for (at least partially) I don't think that parents should require college (not that you are). My kids are going to be required to at least start college; so I'll pay what I can. Also, sine my husband makes so much money, our kids won't be able to qualify for financial aid etc. So might as well help them out. I'd rather sacrifice to help pay for college them have them skip college to go work.
And the sacrifice isn't even that much. We still will have our house paid off, a roth IRA, 401k and personall retirement account equaling at least $1mil. Then again, we waited til our retirement had a good foundation and we had lots saved before having kids. Because we always planned to pay for it.
It's your money and your child you can do whatever you want.
We have a college fund set up. However, my child will not know about said college fund and will be made to believe that they have to pay their way through college which i hope encourages them to apply themselves, make good grades and get scholarships. If they choose a local school, they will be allowed to live with us rent free. We haven't decided when we will give him the money. We'll probably play it by ear and see how it goes.
Money I saved up for their college would only BE for college. Not to put down on a house for them, nor a car. It's only my willingness to help with educational costs. That is just help, too, because I share much of the OP's opinion.
Anything I DID save up for my kid, if they didnt' go to college, I would put into my retirement. In the long run, they all would split up anything we had left as an inheritance.
Quoting FooLynRoo:

NEW YORK (Apr. 29)
The thousands who jammed Dag Hammarskjold Plaza across from the United Nations for the eighth annual "Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry, " today joyously welcomed two Soviet Jews who were released from a Siberian prison camp only two days ago and cheered as Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D. Wash.) and New York's two U.S. Senators declared that the Jackson-Vanik Amendment must not be repealed until the Soviet Union agrees to free emigration for all Jews and others who want to leave.
Eduard Kuznetsov and Mark Dymshits, who arrived in New York Friday along with three other Soviet dissidents, thanked American Jews for their efforts on behalf of Soviet Jewry and urged continued support for 14 other Jews in Soviet prisons as well as all Jews who wish to emigrate from the USSR.
The two Jews, along with Aleksandra Ginzburg, a 42-year-old Soviet human rights activist; Georgi Vins, a Soviet Baptist leader; and Valentin Moroz, a leader of the Ukrainian nationalist movement, were exchanged for two Soviet former employes of the UN who had been sentenced to 50-year terms by the U.S. for espionage. The two spies, Valdik Enger and Rudolf Chernyayev, were swapped for the five Soviet dissidents at Kennedy Airport. The exchange, which was announced by the White House Friday, was so sudden that banners for Kuznetsov and Dymshits were still hanging in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza along with those of such other prisoners as Anatoly Shcharansky, Ida Nudel and losif Begun.
Kuznetsov and Dymshits, who still bore their short prison haircuts, responded to the cheers of the crowd with their hands clasped over their heads in a fighter's victory sign. They were joined on the platform by Kuznetsov's wife, Silva Zalmanson, who has lived in Israel since being freed from prison several years ago and who flew here from London when she heard of her husband's release. All three were convicted in the 1970 Leningrad hijack trial.
When New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams, former chairman of the Greater New York Conference on Soviet Jewry (GNYCSJ), the organization which sponsors the annual event, introduced the three to the crowd, many began singing "Havenu Shalom Aleichem, " the traditional Hebrew song of welcome. It was then picked up by the band on the platform and the entire audience began singing the song.
The rally at the plaza followed a parade nine blocks down Fifth Avenue and then six blocks eastward to the plaza which included groups from Jewish organizations and synagogues, Christian ministers and labor officials. Among the many banners that were carried today was one that said, "Don't let the Soviets be the masters in charge, give us our visas."
Marvin Riseman, chairman of the GNYCSJ, said that the rally today not only supported freedom for Soviet Jewry but also for Jews in Syria and Ethiopia. Some 1000 Syrian Jews, representing the Committee to Save Syrian Jewry, marched in today's parade. Riseman thanked President Carter for his efforts in freeing the five Soviet dissidents and said he was "heartened" by Carter's promise to Israeli Premier Menachem Begin that he would not "cease working" until all Soviet prisoners were free.
The Carter Administration was represented by Patricia Harris, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, who said as a Black American she knows the meaning of the words, "Let my people go." She praised the determination of the Soviet Jewry movement in the U.S. and said the Carter Administration will do all it can to help bring Soviet Jewish refugees to the U.S., such as the 613 who arrived from Rome last week. She called on the public to help the new immigrants settle in this country. Mrs. Harris said Carter will continue his efforts in the pursuit of freedom.
Dymshits and Kuznetsov, speaking in Russian expressed their joy at being freed and especially that they would be in Israel tomorrow. "I am very happy to know that tomorrow I will be finally in my historic homeland, Israel," Dymshits said, where he would rejoin his wife and two children. "I hope to meet all of you in the Land of Israel."
Kuznetsov said that during his nine years of prison he said many times, the words, "Next year in Jerusalem. Now it is not next year, but the next day."
In thanking American Jews for their aid, Kuznetsov declared that " your devotion and energy not only shortened my prison term by six years — 2040 unbearable days — but also saved my life. Had it not been for your powerful and mighty voice protest, Soviet authorities would not have hesitated to carry out their original verdict — shooting me and Mark Dymshits to death." Kuznetsov and Dymshits had originally been sentenced to death but after an international outcry their sentences were reduced to 15 years.
Kuznetsov said that despite the severity of his imprisonment he and other Soviet Jews were luckier than non-Jewish prisoners because they knew of the efforts in their behalf outside of the Soviet Union. He said, some of the letters mailed to him from the U.S. reached him but they were all confiscated by the KGB when he was released.
All the speakers expressed their joy at the releases. Charlotte Jacobson, chairman of the World Zionist Organization-American Section who represented the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, called the release by the Soviet government of the five POCs "a major triumph" for Carter's human rights policy. She emphasized, however, that there must be no let-up in efforts on behalf of all those still languishing in Soviet prisons.
Jackson noted that the fact that the five dissidents were exchanged for two spies is "a terrible judgement on the Soviet system that this grotesque expedient was necessary. It is a reminder to the world that the struggle for free emigration continues." Jackson said part of this struggle was "the effort the Soviet Union and its business partners here are making to wiggle out from under the conditions of the Jackson-Vanik Amendment. These conditions are simple: no credits and no most-favored-nation treatment to countries that deny their citizens the right and the opportunity to emigrate."
The Senator, who was given a plaque by the GNYCSJ for his efforts on behalf of Soviet Jewry, stressed that the President has "promised us, in writing" to uphold the Jackson-Vanik Amendment and "I intend to hold him to that promise."
Jackson pointed out "There are those who believe that because of the number of people leaving the Soviet Union has increased we ought to repeal the Jackson Amendment. I want you to know that many of those who are now urging repeal because the numbers have been going up, were urging repeal last year because they said the numbers were going down."
But Jackson warned that the Soviets are interested only in getting U.S. dollars so that they can buy U.S. products. "They are not interested in visas, they're interested in bills of ladings." He said the current situation in which increased emigration has been allowed is not good enough "as long as the prisoners remain in jail. . .when one is punished for asking to emigrate" and as long as "one has to wait, two, three, four even six or seven years for a visa."
Jackson's sentiments were echoed by Sens. Jacob Javits (R.NY) and Daniel Moynihan (D.NY). Javits, who declared that "if there is a hero in this movement in the United States it is Henry Jackson," stressed that "fidelity to Jackson-Vanik will be tested this year." But he said the amendment must remain law until there is a "permanent solution" in which "the doors of the Soviet Union are open" for all who want to leave. Moynihan said the Jackson-Vanik Amendment is the only reason why the Soviets are willing to make concessions and must not be abandoned.
Another participant, Sen. John Heinz (R. Pa.), also called for the continuation of the struggle until "every Jew is free to leave." He said that "ultimately we will win this battle for freedom and the human spirit. . . because the Soviets have failed to learn from the history of the Jewish people the lesson that 2000 years of persecution could never destroy the spirit of the people. How can the Russians?"
Mayor Edward Koch noted that he has participated in all eight rallies, in which the banners for many of the prisoners now freed, were carried. "It makes every one of us feel as though we participated in a modern day miracle," he said.
Among the posters urging support for individual Jews were many for Marina Tiemkin, the 20-year-old Soviet woman who has been denied permission for seven years to join her father in Israel. A Committee to Free Marina Tiemkin has been formed and its campaign was officially launched today. Seven years ago Tiemkin was kidnapped by the KGB shortly after she and her father came to pick up their visas for Israel. She was sent to a Young Communist camp located over 1000 miles from her Moscow home. All forms of communication between her and the outside world have been blacked by the USSR.

Three years after giving up their daughter Carly for adoption, Teen Mom stars Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra still struggle with their decision, but tell Us Weekly it does get easier as time goes on.
"Adoption is a never-ending process," Lowell, 19, admitted to Us during a recent interview promoting Tuesday's Teen Mom season premiere. "Some things have gotten easier -- our relationship with [Carly's adoptive parents] Brandon and Theresa has gotten stronger over the years -- but we still have things that we work on."
Though their daughter just turned three, the couple will chronicle their second annual visit with Carly -- which coincided with her second birthday -- on Tuesday's episode. "It's one of the most emotional things on the premiere," Baltierra, 19, explains. "She's totally different [now] -- she's walking and talking!"
Lowell says that Carly -- who recently became a big sister when Brandon and Theresa adopted a little boy -- is already taking after her biological dad. "She has the biggest attitude now, like Tyler. She's so headstrong and confident. It's funny," Lowell says. "She's really good at counting and knowing all her colors. She started preschool and she's really doing great in school."
For much more from Lowell and Baltierra -- including if their daughter will attend their upcoming 2013 wedding -- watch our exclusive interview now before Teen Mom premieres the couple's final season Tuesday at 10 p.m. (EST) on MTV.

Jobs for New Ph.D.'s in History Show 'Modest' Uptick, Association Reports
After two years of sharp declines, the academic job market for Ph.D.'s in history showed some "modest improvements" in 2010-11, according to a report released on Monday by the American Historical Association. The group issued the report ahead of its annual meeting, which begins on Thursday in Chicago.
The number of jobs advertised in the association's monthly magazine, Perspectives on History, increased by 10.2 percent, from 569 to 627, in the past academic year. And the number of full-time faculty employed in history departments last fall increased slightly.
However, the turnaround is well below the historical high of 1,064 job advertisements two years ago, tempering the association's reaction to the increase. That's because the number of new scholars earning Ph.D.'s continues to outpace the number of jobs available. According to the association's annual Directory of History Departments, the number of new Ph.D.'s in the 2010-11 year was up slightly, by 3.1 percent, or 912. It's a small increase, the report notes, but the total number of new Ph.D.'s recorded by the directory is at the highest level since 2001-2.
"Every year you have about 1,000 new people who get to the stage in their careers where they are earning a Ph.D.," said Robert B. Townsend, deputy director of the association. "To have that line that represents jobs curving back up again is great." Compared with some other disciplines, such as economics, he said, the number of jobs in history is "incrementally inching up."
The job-advertising trend noted in the report continued through 2011, with the number of ads growing 6.2 percent as of last month. Near the end of the month, Mr. Townsend said, ads for "a number of tenure-track jobs" (which would run in Perspectives in January or February) were coming in at a time when positions for visiting assistant professors, fellowships, and other one- and two-year jobs are more likely to surface.
That appears to show that some employers, perhaps in order to make certain that the faculty lines are solid, are waiting until later in the academic year to advertise.
Nearly every major field of history saw a few more positions advertised than the year before. An exception was the history of the Middle East and the Islamic world, where the number of positions fell by one, to 29. The largest number of jobs advertised was in the history of North America, which grew from 164 to 182 last year.
The history report, like others about the job market from scholarly associations recently, also points out a dip in the percentage of tenured and tenure-track jobs posted in the field since the recession. In 2010-11, 69 percent of openings carried that status, down from 75 percent.
With the pool of such jobs increasingly difficult to come by, the historical association over the fall began openly talking about the best ways to expose graduate students in history to careers outside of academe.
That multipart conversation—framed in two essays co-written by Anthony T. Grafton, a historian at Princeton and the association's president—will continue at the meeting at a panel called "Jobs for Historians: Approaching the Crisis From the Demand Side," to be led by Mr. Grafton.

Tonight I found a bug (feature?). Using the "check out as project option" won't bring down empty directories. Annoying. I need to check to see if anyone has already pointed this out. Hopefully, it's not a case of a designer trying to guess "what I want".
Isn't that the default CVS behaviour? I can't seem to remember precisely, but I know there are some nasty defaults and that I've had problems with empty directories. At any rate I'm certain that it's a CVS-level option, and if Eclipse gives you access to those then you can change it.
-- Robin Berjon [berjon.com]
The manual actually suggests putting a dummy file in the directory, which doesn't bode well for me. I'm also not sure how fine my control is with CVS within Eclipse.

A better connection from Queen Anne to the waterfront
I can hear the groans out there when you read the words "construction" and "detour." But the West Thomas Street Pedestrian and Bicycle Overpass is a pretty cool project that will end up being great for bicyclists and pedestrians.
- Provide a dedicated structure for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to Myrtle Edwards Park.
- Connect communities on the east side of the BNSF railroad tracks to Myrtle Edwards Park.
- Help make walking and biking easier and more pleasant ways to get around Seattle.
- Connect the Myrtle Edwards Park bicycle trail to the Lake to Bay Loop, a future bicycle route linking the waterfront with South Lake Union and Seattle Center.
Ultimately, the bridge will help make bicycling safer, which is something I know we all want.
Now what you have all been waiting for, construction details!
Per the Seattle Department of Transportation:
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) started construction in Myrtle Edwards Park on the West Thomas Street Pedestrian and Bicycle Overpass Project the week of August 29.
Bicycle access through Myrtle Edwards Park will be maintained during construction, with the following changes:
- The existing paved pathway will be designated for bicyclists and wheelchair users
- A temporary unpaved path will be created adjacent to the paved bike trail for pedestrian.
- Additional temporary and/or partial closures of sections of the trail may also occur.
- There will be pinch points along the trail - please use caution.
- Expect noise and vibration during certain construction activities and large equipment in the area during construction.
Bicyclists riding on Elliott Avenue West may experience temporary lane closures on Elliott Avenue West in the vicinity of West Thomas Street outside the hours of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
SDOT will update its website and send email alerts to help bicyclists and pedestrians prepare for construction impacts, detours and keep up to date on the project's progress. For more information or to sign up for email alerts contact Maribel Cruz at 206-684-7963 or [email protected].
When construction is completed in spring 2012, the overpass will provide a direct connection for pedestrians and bicyclists traveling between lower Queen Anne and Myrtle Edwards Park.

Charlie is not going to like this! A crew member working on the set of "Charlie's Angels" has been fired after slapping one of its stars, Minka Kelly on the ass. TMZ is reporting that after the slap, Minka said to the man, quote:
"Give it to me baby!"
Just kidding! Her actual response was, quote:
"Please don't ever disrespect me or any other woman like that again."
It was not Minka's intention for the man to be fired. However, ABC was not having it! It is being reported that this is not the slap happy man's first offense. TMZ is also reporting that the man just moved his wife and family to take this job. Boy is his wife going to be pissed! Slapping other women's asses and losing his job? This guy is done!

Kristopher Kum (23 June 1929-15 March 2013[1]) played Fu Peng in the Doctor Who story The Mind of Evil.
He was not the original actor cast for Fu Peng, but stepped in after a disastrous location shoot. Just prior to the studio recording, director Timothy Combe came to Kum — then the head of Oriental Casting, a talent agency for actors of Southeast Asian descent — and Kum put himself forward. However, in a way not detectable to Combe — or most audience members — he was partially inappropriate for the role, since the part required a Hokkien speaker and he natively spoke Cantonese.

Is Project Planning The Same It Was 20 Years Ago?A lot of literature on project management has been focusing on the importance of scheduling to make a project to succeed. You probably already know that it's not all there is to it. Don't get us wrong, being a resource planning software, we think it's really important to schedule. And according to an old but still relevant article by Belassi and Tukel, it was important 20 years ago, too. However, they found other five factor which affects projects' success across industries, and we thought we should share them with you.
For each it' s ownFirstly, it's important to note that not all industries and companies play by the same rules. The factors influencing the success rate of projects were actually the same across industries. However, these factors had different levels of importance for each. Which we thought is kind of comforting to know. A construction project manager had to have the same factors in mind as an environmental activist. We think it hasn't really changed. Although there are whole new industries, aspects of a project are still the same. Don't you agree?
Resources, Resources, Resources
Getting to the actual factors, we found that in four out of six industries, availability of resources ruled the charts according to Belassi and Tukel. And we are lucky because if that hasn't changed, this is where Ganttic can really help you out. If you have all of your company's project managers using Ganttic, you will know exactly how your resources are distributed across your projects, and you will know how much time your project will take with the resources available to you. Using Ganttic or other similar project management software will definitely help you with being too optimistic about the resources you will have or the time it will take to complete a project. If you are working in defense, utilities, environmental or manufacturing - know the status of your resources. However, if you work in construction or MIS, it was the third most important factor to keep your mind on. Taking into account our constantly growing number of users, we are going out on a limb here, and say that available resources are still relevant.

A day after publicly confirming her pregnancy news, Mariah Carey is feeling like millions of moms-to-be around the world.
"Right now, I feel nauseous and exhausted," she admitted during a call-in to husband's radio show, Rollin' With Nick Cannon.
Indeed, Carey, 41, sounded tuckered out as she chatted with Cannon, 30.
Cannon is eager for his wife -- promoting a Christmas album -- to stop working. He noted that she shot two music videos on Thursday and asked when she's going to take a break.
"I guess after New Year's," Carey said.
The Grammy winner took a moment to thank all her friends and fans "for the well wishes" and said "I'm still insulated," and hadn't yet checked her voicemails, texts and emails.
"I wasn't in touch with anybody!" she added.
