Systems and methods for in-context editing of web pages in which the
production format of a web page is visible while the web page is being
edited, and the editable image is not distorted by the editing tools. In
one embodiment, a system includes a server computer, a client computer
and a transmission channel coupled between them. The server computer
receives a request for a web page from the client computer and
responsively transmits a web page containing in-context editing tools to
the client computer. The client computer operate alternately in a first
mode in which the in-context editing tools are superimposed on a web page
image, or a second mode in which the web page image is displayed, but the
in-context editing tools are hidden. The tools overlay in the first mode
does not alter the production format of the web page image as displayed
in the second mode.
1. A server for facilitating in-context editing of web pages in a client
browser at a client device, the server comprising: a network interface to
connect to a network coupled between the server and the client device; a
processor; a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of
computer instructions executable by the processor to: receive from the
client device, via the network, a request for a web page; determine a set
of in-context editing tools associated with a first component of the web
page based on a template associated with the web page, wherein the
template specifies actions associated with the first component of the web
page; generate a production view of the web page and generate an overlay
of in-context editing tools based on the on the determined set of
in-context editing tools; transmit page source to the client device
corresponding to the production view and the overlay of in-context
editing tools, the page source configured to cause the client browser to
operate alternatively in a plurality of modes and to switch between a
first mode and a second mode without refreshing the web page, wherein: in
the first mode of the plurality of modes, the in-context editing tools
are enabled and the client browser renders the overlay of in-context
editing tools superimposed on the production view of the web page with
in-context editing tools applicable to the first component of the web
page displayed near the first component without distorting a size and
placement of components of the production view; and in the second mode of
the plurality of modes, the in-context editing tools are disabled and the
client browser renders the production view of the web page but hides the
overlay of in-context editing tools; and receive an edit to the first
component in the production view using an in-context editing tool and
refresh the first component without refreshing the entire web page.
[0001] This application is a continuation of, and claims a benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. 120 of the filing date of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/280,951, entitled "System, Method and Computer Program Product for Editing Web Pages In-Context of a Production View," filed on Oct. 25, 2011, which in turn claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/406,475 entitled "System and Method for Editing Web Pages In-Context of a Production View," filed Oct. 25, 2010, which are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein in their entirety.
[0002] This disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for web page editing, and more particularly to systems and methods for in-context editing of web pages so that the production format of the web page is visible while the web page is being edited, and is not altered by the available editing tools.
[0003] Many companies have large websites that require management of 100,000s and even millions of content items (web pages, images, documents or other content items). Traditionally, editing a web involved displaying the web site in a special preview window that altered how the web page looked when compared to how the web page would look to an external browser. For example, the preview window would include sections of text such as "edit text in this box" between text boxes. Because the instructions "edit text in this box" does not appear in the final web page (e.g., as seen by a site visitor), the user editing the web page had a distorted view of what the web site looked like. In order to see what the web site really looked like, the user would have to open the page with a browser or enter a separate viewing mode. This made managing edits cumbersome.
[0004] While some systems allowed the content of the web page to be viewed while the web page was being edited, these systems typically inserted editing tools between the content components. This caused the positions of the components and other aspects of the web page format to change in comparison to the actual production format of the web page. In order to view the production format of the web page, a preview option was provided in which the editing tools were removed to allow the web page components to be viewed in the final production format. Having to switch between the editing and preview environments, however, was inefficient and unwieldy.
[0005] Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and computer program products for in-context editing of web pages in which the production format of a web page is visible while the web page is being edited, and the editable image is not distorted by the editing tools. In one particular embodiment, a system for in-context editing of web pages includes a server computer, a client computer and an interconnect coupled between them. The server computer is configured to receive from the client computer a request for a web page, and to transmit a web page to the client computer in response to the request, where the web page contains in-context editing tools. The client computer is configured to operate alternately in one of two modes. In the first mode, the client computer displays the in-context editing tools superimposed on a web page image. In the second mode, the client computer displays the web page image but hides the in-context editing tools. The overlay of the editing tools in the first mode does not alter the production format of the web page image as displayed in the second mode. The server computer may generate the web page using a template that contains the in-context editing tools. The template may be stored in a repository device coupled to the server computer. The in-context editing tools may be developed using Javascript, CSS and HTML elements that reside in a namespace that is unique from a namespace in which components of the web page reside so that they do not present any conflict with the web page components. The system may maintain edited components of the web page in a preview environment until the edited components are published, and may maintain the edited components in a production environment after the edited components are published.
[0006] Another embodiment comprises an apparatus. The apparatus includes a computer which is configured to receive a web page template and one or more web page components, and to generate a web page image based upon the template and web page components. The web page image appears in a production format. The computer generates an overlay of one or more editing tools and displays an editable image to a user in an editing environment, where the editable image has the overlay of the editing tools superimposed on the web page image. The overlay of the editing tools does not alter the production format of the web page image. The computer may be configured to update the web page image according to edits entered by a user on the computer, where the updated web page image displayed with the overlay of the editing tools is identical to a production format of the updated web page image.
[0008] Another alternative embodiment is a software program product. The software program product comprises a non-transitory computer-readable medium which stores one or more program instructions. These instructions are executable by the computer to perform the method that includes receiving a web page template and web page components, generating a production-format web page image based upon the received template and components, generating an overlay of editing tools, and displaying an editable image to a user in an editing environment. The editable image comprises the overlay of the editing tools superimposed on the web page image. The overlay of the editing tools does not alter the production format of the web page image. The method performed by the software product may include selectively enabling or disabling the in-context editing tools. When the in-context editing tools are enabled, an icon for each of the in-context editing tools is superimposed on a portion of a corresponding component or region of the web page image with which the in-context editing tool is associated. Enabling or disabling the in-context editing tools does not alter the format of the web page image. The template may contain the in-context editing tools. Enabling or disabling the in-context editing tools may comprise enabling or disabling all template elements included in a unique namespace associated with the in-context editing tools. The method performed by the software product may include generating, for each of the in-context editing tools, an associated visual indicator that demarcates the corresponding component or region of the web page image with which each in-context editing tool is associated. These visual indicators are superimposed on the boundaries of the corresponding component or region of the web page image. The method performed by the software product may include maintaining edited components of the web page in a preview environment until the edited components are published and, after the edited components are published, maintaining the edited components in a production environment.
[0009] Numerous other alternative embodiments are also possible.
[0010] A more complete understanding of the disclosure and the advantages thereof may be acquired by referring to the following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like reference numbers indicate like features and wherein:
[0011] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a simplified client-server computer system in accordance with one embodiment;

Various substitutions, modifications, additions and/or rearrangements within the spirit and/or scope of the underlying inventive concept will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure.
[0016] Software implementing embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented in suitable computer-executable instructions that may reside on a computer-readable storage medium. Within this disclosure, the term "computer-readable storage medium" encompasses all types of data storage medium that can be read by a processor. Examples of computer-readable storage media can include random access memories, read-only memories, hard drives, data cartridges, magnetic tapes, floppy diskettes, flash memory drives, optical data storage devices, compact-disc read-only memories, and other appropriate computer memories and data storage devices.
[0017] As used herein, the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including," "has," "having," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, product, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, process, article, or apparatus. Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, "or" refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
[0018] Additionally, any examples or illustrations given herein are not to be regarded in any way as restrictions on, limits to, or express definitions of, any term or terms with which they are utilized. Instead these examples or illustrations are to be regarded as being described with respect to one particular embodiment and as illustrative only. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that any term or terms with which these examples or illustrations are utilized encompass other embodiments as well as implementations and adaptations thereof which may or may not be given therewith or elsewhere in the specification and all such embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of that term or terms. Language designating such non-limiting examples and illustrations includes, but is not limited to: "for example," "for instance," "e.g.," "in one embodiment," and the like.
[0019] Embodiments described herein provide an intuitive system for editing web pages that overlays tools on a production view of the web page to allow the user to preview changes to the production view as edits to the production view are made. Thus, the user can edit the content of the web page as it would appear in its production format.
[0020] FIG. 1 illustrates a simplified client-server computer system 20. System 20 includes client computers 22 and 76 and computer 24. Client computers 22, 76 and server computer 24 are connected by a transmission channel 26, which may be a network including a LAN, WAN, the internet or other network.
[0021] Client computer 22 can be a standard computer including a central processing unit ("CPU") 30 connected to a computer readable medium 32 (primary and/or secondary). Computer readable medium 32 can comprise any combination of RAM, ROM and/or a magnetic storage device such as a hard drive or other non-transitory computer readable storage medium. Computer readable medium 32 stores a number of computer programs, including a "browser" 34, as known to those in the art. Browser 34 can be used to communicate with remote server computers 24 and to visually present the information received from server computers 24. Client computer 22 establishes network communications through a standard network connection device 36.
[0022] Server computer 24 can include standard server computer components, including a network connection device 40, a CPU 42, and a non-transitory computer readable medium 44 (primary and/or secondary memory, disk drives or other non-transitory computer readable media). As shown in FIG. 1, server computer 24 stores a web server program 48 and a page generator program 50 to generate and return web pages in response to requests from server program 48. Server computer 24 can also act as a content management system running content management system program 66 (CMS 66) that manages objects and used to generate web pages. Content and related information can be stored in repository 70. CMS 66 and repository 70 can be used to create, test, modify, manage and store page templates and other content that can be made available to page generator program 50.
[0023] According to one embodiment, CMS 66 manages content for web sites as a collection of objects. The collection of objects in a site includes file assets and non-file assets. Non-file assets include assets such as users, groups, modules, module types, pages, menus, themes, structures, styles and templates, logon permissions, administrative permissions, site branding, site content, site navigation, instantiated programming language objects, permissions, user preferences and settings. Various content objects may reference file assets including resources such as code including JSP pages, ASP pages, Java classes and/or object oriented programming language classes, and images including GIF files, etc.
[0024] Content items can be stored as corresponding content objects in a repository 70. In some cases, rather than storing the content items, repository 70 can include references to another system and its corresponding objects or repository). Each content object can have an arbitrary amount of metadata associated with it. For purposes of managing a web site, such metadata may include whether the content object has been approved for publication, whether it was published, or any other information that is useful in classifying the content object for web site management.
[0025] It should be noted that while CMS 66 may manage a content item, the content item may be stored at another location and a reference to the content item stored in repository 70. For example, a bank statement may reside in an enterprise system, but CMS 66 can access it.
[0027] According to one embodiment, in-context editing program 75 can request information or initiate actions at server 24 by sending URL requests to server 24 that are translated into API calls to API 72 (e.g., by server program 48 or other program). Requests for data or to take actions can be sent as URL requests to server 24. Based on the URL, CMS 66 will return the appropriate data or take the appropriate actions.
[0028] FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of one embodiment of providing a web page to a user in a production environment and a preview environment. In the production environment, a client 22 (FIG. 1) can request web pages using browser 34. In response to calls from server program 48 (FIG. 1), page generator program 50 can generate a file for a web page.
[0029] In general, page generator program 50 can request content for the web page from CMS 66 to build the web page. In one embodiment, the web page is laid out according to a template 105. Template 105 provides a pattern for the web page. A template defines regions (e.g., regions 110, 115 and 120) that define where content appears in the page. Each region can be populated by one or more components including, but not limited navigation components, text components, content items, content lists, images, smart lists, or other information. Template 105 can also specify what actions are available for a component (e.g., change, move, remove or other action).
[0030] Based on template 105, page generator 50 can generate a web page file 125 to send to browser 34 to cause browser 34 to render a production view 130 of the web page. This may include causing the browser to execute scripts, make additional requests or take other actions used to render web pages.
[0031] In a preview environment, in-context editing program 75 interfaces with CMS 66 to edit items in the web page. When a web page is accessed by in-context editing program 75, page generator 50 can build a web page file 135 that will cause in-context editing program to render the production view 130 of the web page with an overlay of editing tools. According to one embodiment, the tools can be overlaid as a "div" overlay through CSS.
[0032] Page generator 50, can parse the template to determine the regions where components are placed. For each region and/or component in a region, the types of actions that are available can be determined. This can be based on metadata associated with the template, metadata associated with the components or other information. Page generator 50 can change the DOM and HTML of the web page to include information for the editing tools in web page file 135.
[0034] According to one embodiment, editing tools can include a set of editing tools to allow editing of the overall page or template, shown as the floating tools palette 140. Additionally, editing tools applicable to individual components can be displayed near the associated region or component (shown as component menus 145 at the top corner of each region). Editable components or regions can be demarcated. For example, editable regions can be outlined with a dashed line or other indicator. The various editing tools are overlaid on view 130 so that they do not distort the production view.
[0035] FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic representation of one embodiment of presenting tools to a user for in-context editing. An editable web page image 137 is rendered in the web browser showing a production view of the web page (the web page as it would appear in the production environment). A tools palette 140 is presented floating over the production view of the web site. Each component of the web site is presented with a component menu icon 147. When the user clicks on the component menu icon 147, the user is presented with a component menu with icons representing various types of actions the user can take with respect to the component. When the user scrolls over each icon, a drop down menu 150 of actions appears.
[0036] The actions made available for a page or component of the page can be based on settings in template 105 (FIG. 2), the type of component, user permissions or other information. For example, one set of options may be available for a text component while another set is available for an image component. As another example, one type of administrator may have permissions to edit text components, but not image components, while another type of administrator may have permission to edit both types of components.
[0037] When a user edits a component, the region of the web page in which the component is positioned or the component itself is refreshed to show the changed web page in the GUI. This can be done without refreshing the remainder of the page. Because the edits take place not just in the production view, but in the preview environment, the user sees in near real time how the production view of the web page will look when the changes are implemented.
[0038] It may not be desirable for the changes to appear in the production environment until the changes have been approved or published. In one embodiment, edits are not pushed to the production environment until the occurrence of a predefined event. To maintain separation between the production environment and preview environment, the in-context editing environment functions as an overlay of the underlying production web site. The page generator can use unique namespaces for JavaScript, CSS or HTML elements used in the preview environment. The DOM/HTML changes used to provide in-context editing are inserted using unique namespaced ids that will not conflict with the production environment or vice versa. Similarly, CSS used for the preview environment uses unique namespacing to avoid affecting the production environment. The in-context editing JavaScript also uses namespacing to avoid polluting the production environment. The JavaScript namespacing can be further extended to third party libraries which can be re-namespaced for the preview environment. This allows a web site provider to use the same third party library but with a different version and/or different plugins & extensions in the production environment without being affected by the in-context editing environment.
[0039] Thus, embodiments described herein provide a system for in-context editing that overlays editing/workflow tools on a production view of web page. Tools can be presented in a variety of formats. For example, tool icons can be presented in floating tool palettes. In other embodiments, tool icons can be presented proximate to or on the region or component to which the tools apply. Editing and workflow actions can be made available by clicking on the icons or from dropdown lists accessible from the icons. The in-context editing environment can limit the actions available to a user based on information specified in a page template, metadata associated with a component of the web page, user permissions or other information.
[0040] Edits and actions taken during in-context editing can be done in a unique namespace and the changes to the web page pushed to the production namespace at the occurrence of a specified event (e.g., publication). Consequently, editing will not change the production environment until the appropriate time in a workflow.
[0041] Embodiments described herein can be implemented in a computing environment having one or more client machines connected to one or more servers by a network. The network can be characterized as an internal network and/or external network. The Internet might be an example of an external network and a company's intranet might be an example of an internal network. Each network can be bi-directionally coupled to a variety of networked systems, devices, repositories, etc.
[0042] Virtually any piece of hardware or electronic device capable of running appropriate software may be a server or client. As an example, a computer may include a central processing unit (CPU), read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), hard drive or non-volatile memory, and input/output (I/O) device(s). An I/O device may be a keyboard, monitor, printer, electronic pointing device (e.g., mouse, trackball, etc.), or the like. The hardware configuration of the computer can be representative to other devices and computers alike coupled to the network (e.g., desktop computers, laptop computers, personal digital assistants, handheld computers, cellular phones, and any electronic devices capable of storing and processing information and network communication.
[0043] Embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented in suitable software including computer-executable instructions. As one skilled in the art can appreciate, a computer program product implementing an embodiment disclosed herein may comprise one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing computer instructions translatable by one or more processors in a computing environment. Examples of computer readable media may include, but are not limited to, volatile and non-volatile computer memories and storage devices such as ROM, RAM, HD, direct access storage device arrays, magnetic tapes, floppy diskettes, optical storage devices, etc. In an illustrative embodiment, some or all of the software components may reside on a single server computer or on any combination of separate server computers.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer,
Under IRC sections 105 and 106, employer-provided health benefits, including reimbursement and insurance, are generally excluded from the income of employees. This applies to any employer-paid system, whether the benefit is provided directly (i.e., through self-insurance) to employees or through an insurance provider or a trust. However, if the plan discriminates in favor of highly compensated employees, the amounts paid to those employees are subject to Federal income tax.
IRC § 105(h) If you would like the IRS guide on benefits, here is a linkhttp://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/fringe_benefit_fslg.pdf
Thank you for your precise response.
Can benefit amounts differ between SIngle, Married, and Married with Family employees without having negative tax consequences?
As long as the plan does not discriminate based on higher compensatred employees being favored over others, the plan would be fine.
THank you again. THat answers my queston completely.
Glad to assist
Dear Robin,
Some follow up questions if I may:
1. If the annual maximum amount is not used up by the employee within a calendar year, the remaining amounts will be carried over to the following years, and if the employee terminates employment the company will pay off the employee (minus 5% to allow for adminstrative fee and corporate payroll tax) along with other severance payments (e.g. accrued vacation) minus income tax deductions.
Do you see anything wrong with this procedure from TAX perspective?
2. If the employee elects to take the HELTH CARE ALLOWANCE option instead of the REIMBURSEMENT option, we will add the allowance amount (which is 10% lower than the maxmimum reimbursement amount) to his regular monthly salary., with proper deductions.
Do you see anything wrong with this option given to the employee?
In number 1 it would make the pay off taxable like the severance.
In number 2 employee would have the tax deduction on their tax return providing they use Schedule A to itemize their deductions. The amounts that can be excluded from wages are the employer's contributions. If the allowance for health care is deducted from the wages of the employee pretaxed they are still taxable for FICA, if this is like a health savings plan that the employee can choose to be in as opposed to a reimbursement.
I understand now that the health benefit program that we had been talking about is called HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement) allowed by IRS. Since one of the requirement is to write up a PLAN DOCUMENT, I have been reading up on its regulations.
Under IRS publication 969, it specifically states, "YOUR EMPLOYER IS NOT PERMITTED TO REFUND ANY PART OF THE BALANCE TO YOU".
It sounds like the rule we established of making the balance of the account as part of severance payment at termination of employment is against that regulation.
On the other hand, I believe that the employer has the right to pay off any kind of severance pay.
Since the employer can establish the rule to forfeit the balance of the account, can we not establish the rule to forfeit the balance, and on the other hand pay off a severance pay based on the balance figure of the account?
If we can not, then it puts me in a bind.
Jeff Kamachi
I understand that there is a difference between "severance agreement payment" and payment at the time of termination no matter what.
So are you saying that we should treat this rule as "deferred compensation" for any type of termination? Can we not pay for termination for cause?
I am not 100% clear on what I shall do.
Excerpt from,<http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-02-45.pdf>, reads:
An HRA does not qualify for the exclusion under § 105(b) if any person has the
right to receive cash or any other taxable or non-taxable benefit under the arrangement
other than the reimbursement of medical care expenses. If any person has such a right
under an arrangement currently or for any future year, all distributions to all persons
made from the arrangement in the current tax year are included in gross income, even
amounts paid to reimburse medical care expenses. For example, if an arrangement
pays a death benefit without regard to medical care expenses, no amounts paid under
the arrangement to any person are reimbursements for medical care expenses
excluded under § 105(b). See § 1.105-2 of the Income Tax Regulations. Arrangements
formally outside the HRA that provide for the adjustment of an employee's
compensation or an employee's receipt of any other benefit will be considered in4
determining whether the arrangement is an HRA and whether the benefits are eligible
for the exclusions under §§ 106 and 105(b). If, for example, in the year an employee
retires, the employee receives a bonus and the amount of the bonus is related to that
employee's maximum reimbursement amount remaining in an HRA at the time of
retirement, no amounts paid under the arrangement are reimbursements for medical
care expenses for purposes of § 105(b). Similarly, if an employer provides severance
pay only to employees who have reimbursement amounts remaining in a purported
HRA at the time of termination of employment, no amounts paid under the arrangement
are reimbursements for medical care expenses for purposes of § 105(b).
This sound like what we are trying to set up is not possible without jeopardizing the essence of the program. What do you think?
Severance being taxable is not a problem. I believe TAX free reimbursements of medical expenses will not be allowed if we set up severance payment based on the balance of the HRA account.

This is a traditional recipe in my family, as well as in pretty much any Ukrainian family fried zucchini with tomato and mayo-dill sauce. It's resembles a lot the eggplant recipe, but, zucchini, as a base component gives it a different twist.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Servings: 5 people
Cost per serving $0.48 view details
- 1 midsized zucchini
- 1-2 tomatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons mayo

- 1 clove of garlic (optional)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 5 tablespoons cooking oil
- Wash zucchini, cut it in full round slices (they shouldnât be thick- about ¼ inches) and rub in salt and pepper, let it stand for 5 minutes. Take an egg, mix it with some water and pour the flour on a separate dish. Set a frying pan on medium gas and add some cooking oil, then: cover zucchini slice in flour then put it in egg-water mixture and put frying. Repeat with all the slices. Fry zucchini from both sides until soft inside and has golden brown crust.
- Meanwhile: wash your tomato, dill. Cut tomato in slices or half round slices (depending on how big the tomato is). Mix mayo with finely chopped dill and add a little bit of salt.( you may add pressed garlic to the sauce, if you wish). Put the fried zucchini on the plate, cover it with mayo dill sauce and put the tomato slice on top. Repeat with all the zucchini slices. You may put zucchini in layers , as I did.
- The dish should be served warm and may be served cold; is good with mashed potato and meat, or with salad, also the dish is very good when cold; in sandwiches.
- Enjoy!

Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) is concerned about the welfare of people suffering under the government shutdown. Furloughed workers are suddenly without a paycheck to count on and as the government remains closed, the uncertainty of when the next one will come is growing. Luckily Rep. Pearce has a solution: Just take out a private loan.
On his Facebook page Friday, the Congressman sent out this message of advice to people who may be in trouble:
"If you are a furloughed government employee, we encourage you to reach out to your financial institution as soon as you worry you may miss a paycheck. Financial Institutions often offer short-term loans and other resources. Don't wait until you are behind on a bill; call now and explore your options"
Yes, nothing helps the economic insecurity of being furloughed like adding interest rates to your mounting debt.
The post was quickly taken down and now Rep. Pearce's spokesman is claiming that it was not the Congressman himself that even wrote it:
Pearce spokesman Eric Layer said a staffer, not the congressman, posted the comment. He acknowledged it wasn't the most tactful message, since it's the fault of Congress, not the workers, that the government shut down and paychecks have stopped.
"Yes that post was in error and placed by staff. It was removed because it was wrong," Layer told The Huffington Post. "What the badly worded post should have conveyed is that many financial institutions have said they will not penalize people who have payment issues due to the federal furlough. But the important part is not to wait, but contact your financial institutions now, so they can adjust things."[source]
It does, however, remind us of just how out of touch members of Congress can be when it comes to the plight of the average American. It doesn't help that Rep. Pearce is ranked as the 46th richest member of Congress by Roll Call, which "reviews the financial disclosures of all 541 senators, representatives and delegates to determine the 50 richest members of Congress". His fortune is estimated to be around $8 million.
Adding insult to injury, New Mexico was ranked the 8th poorest state in the country in 2012, and in the last 12 months has seen a 3.6% decline in jobs. It might be easy for a millionaire to get a short term loan, but his constituents will find no easy solutions. ProgressNow New Mexico's Patrick Davis, who has been covering this story from the beginning, had this to say:
"His constituents are among the poorest in the country, so going to the bank to take out a quick signature loan is not an option," Davis said in a statement. "We urge New Mexicans to call Pearce and ask for a loan from him. He's one of the richest millionaires in Congress. If he thinks private loans are the answer, he should be the first to offer them."
Something tells me he won't be as generous with his money as he is with his bad advice.

Jake Canuso, James Dreyfuss, Matt Evers & More Set for West End Bares 2014 Fundraiser 'Nudedunnit?!
Stars of stage and screen Jake Canuso, James Dreyfuss, Matt Evers, Jill Halfpenny, Helen Lederer, Harriet Thorpe are amongst the special guest presenters to be announced* for this year's West End Bares 'Nudedunnit?!' gala performances at Café de Paris in London's West End on Sunday 7 September (*further names to be announced shortly). Tickets are available from www.westendbares.com.
Now in its fifth year, West End Bares sees performers from across the heart of London's West End volunteering to put on a show and strip in aid of The Make A Difference Trust (MAD Trust) - the entertainment industry charity dedicated to helping people living with HIV and AIDS in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Following previous themed nights - Strip Britannia, Clothing Optional, On Your Marks...Get Set...Strip! and All the Fun of the Bare - Nudedunnit?! will pay homage to the murder mystery genre featuring the usual suspects, large concealed weapons and the most revealing of motives!
There are two performances on Sunday 7 September, at 9.30pm and midnight, with the latter being notoriously more risqué than the first. Audience members can show their appreciation during 'The Rotation' at the end of the night, when they can donate hard cash (pre-purchased money notes) into the underwear of their favourite performers as they dance around the venue.
Those who cannot make it to the show can still join in with the fun and donate through a brand new fundraising initiative this year - the West End Bares Stripathon - which has so far already raised more than £14,000 for MAD Trust. The more donations roll in, the more is revealed...! Visit www.westendbares.com to find out more.
West End Bares was the brainchild of Jerry Mitchell, the legendary Broadway Director and Choreographer, who began the American version over 25 years ago on Broadway in the middle of the HIV and AIDS pandemic. It has since gone on to raise millions of dollars and has branched out to London and Las Vegas. The London edition began five years ago after Artistic Director, Darren Carnall worked with Mitchell on Legally Blonde and demanded that the Bares phenomenon be brought over the pond to London. Mitchell's response was "If you want it to happen - you do it. I'll support you the whole way" and Mitchell has kept his promise.
West End Bares has raised more than £100,000 for MAD Trust over the past four years. Originally founded as West End Cares in 1991 and later becoming Theatrecares, The Make A Difference Trust is the entertainment industries response to HIV and AIDS.
Working with The Make A Difference Trust, the event aims to promote safe sex and raise awareness about the HIV and AIDS climate that we now live in. Recent statistics show:
· Over 100,000 people are living with HIV in the UK
· Of these, 22% are undiagnosed and not aware of their status
· Nearly half (47%) of people diagnosed with HIV in 2012 were diagnosed late - after they should have already started treatment

Southwest Corporate Says Imaging Suite Launch Was a Big Success
"I think we can definitely say this is the fastest growing payments-related product we've ever launched," said Brad Ganey, senior vice president of payment services. Twenty-two credit unions are already live, he said.
The new service automates the process of handling returned items from member deposits, eliminating paper check delivery to the credit union. Returns are sent directly to Southwest Corporate from its image exchange networks, the Federal Reserve and direct-exchange banks, reducing potential for losses by providing faster information delivery.
Using credit union-specific criteria, Southwest Corporate can automate the redeposit of nonsufficient funds items, report additional maker and payee information and provide deposit detail reports through an online account management system. Credit unions are able to see return items online the same day they are processed.
"The online reports will provide a link to display images of returned items, item level MICR information, large-dollar notifications and provide a downloadable file for printing returned item substitute checks to give to members," said Bill Brennan, director of item processing operations. "Final settlement will occur between Southwest Corporate and the credit union, simplifying and removing the Federal Reserve Bank from the reconcilement process."
The Federal Reserve's announcement of its intent to collapse all paper check processing into the Cleveland office by fourth-quarter 2009 has left many credit unions wondering about changes in the cost and timing for the delivery of their deposit returns and has helped stir interest in the new product, Ganey said.
Despite the recession, Southwest members haven't experienced an increase in returned items or NSFs, according to returned items statistics provided by the corporate.
Image Deposit Return completes Southwest Corporate's self-mandate to fully automate the credit union deposit process.

How many ways are there to say 'hello'? Karolina Kurkova's 3-year-old son, Tobin Jack, already knows quite a few of them. Speaking English at home with his Czech Republic-born mom and actor/producer dad Archie Drury, the little boy is also getting a language lesson at his New York City preschool.
"He's learning Spanish and Mandarin -- for a three year old. So that's pretty cool," Kurkova, 29, told Us Weekly at a recent event promoting her new Oxygen modeling reality series The Face. "He's incredible. Good in everything he does -- sports, music. He's a cool kid. He's my buddy."
Music is one pastime New York City-based Kurkova says her son -- born Oct. 29, 2009 -- takes to the extreme, especially when Korean breakout artist Psy is involved.
"His favorite thing is the "Gangnam Style" song -- he plays it all the time, super loud," Kurkova told Jay Leno of Tobin, who mispronounces the title in Spanish, calling it 'como estas.' "He goes around the playground with my iPhone -- really loud -- and he goes to all the kids [singing] como estas, como estas. [When he does the dance, he looks] like an elephant," explains mom. "It's so cute."

by Hannah Wayte
(Dublin, Ireland)
About a year and a half ago a little switch flipped in my mind and lit up the equivalent of a flashing, neon sign right in front of my eyes; 'Travel', it said. It was something I had thought about in passing before but hadn't really paid much attention to. After all, travelling was something other people did, not me. Right? The moment that switch flipped, though, I could think of nothing else. And I haven't thought of anything else since. Thankfully, I have been doing something about it and soon enough I will be packing up and heading out on the road for my first taste of solo travel.
When I first got the urge to travel I contacted a friend of a friend, whom I knew had travelled extensively, and asked for a few tips. The first thing she told me was to decide where it was that I wanted to go and then work out a budget accordingly, as opposed to only going where my current budget could afford to take me. This is sound advice and probably the first thing I would recommend to anyone else myself. Looking at a world map, I felt stuck – so many places to go but where to start? My head was telling me to go easy for the first trip; perhaps take a few months out to travel around Europe. But my heart ... well, my heart kept drawing me toward Africa.
It wasn't until after I had settled on an actual route through Africa that I stopped to think about why that was my choice of destination. To be honest, I'm still not completely sure but I've come up with a few reasons that seem to make sense of it. When I was young, one of my favourite films to watch was The Lion King. Just after the film was released, they started to publish a weekly magazine related to the film, which had loads of information in it about Africa – its countries, people, animals ... I was enthralled. Every week I would rush through my chores to earn my pocket money and then run over to the local newsagent to pick up a copy of the magazine. This is my earliest memory of a love affair with Africa. As a teen my dad introduced me to Wilbur Smith, and I was hooked. His books conjured up images of a wild, untamed continent, ravaged by war and greed but standing strong and proud despite this. I have carried on to read books by travel writers based in Africa, as well as literature by some of the great African novelists like Chinua Achebe and Ngugi Wa Thiong'o.
Perhaps these early, romantic ideas of Africa lay behind my initial choice of destination. What really sealed the deal, however, is that if I am going to uproot myself then it needs to be for the best of reasons. Wherever I am going needs to challenge me on a daily basis; it needs to teach me more about myself than I thought I could learn and open me up to people and places that I would never otherwise be able to encounter. No matter how many books I may read or documentaries I may watch about Africa, I cannot relate to what I read/see; this makes it the perfect spot for what I want.
I have settled on a 75-day trip from Nairobi down to Cape Town, passing through roughly nine countries along the way. The route is planned out by an overlanding company, which makes it a bit easier on me for my first solo trip and also means I will be able to meet like-minded people along the way. I am both scared and incredibly excited about the journey to come knowing full well that no matter how much research I do, I know nothing about where I am going. I hope to come away from Africa able to word my own impressions of the small part of it that I will have seen instead of relying on others' stories to fill in the blanks.
Born in England, raised in Malta, living in Ireland and planning where to go next. I have itchy feet and my blog, Hannah and the World (hannahandtheworld.com) is all about my plans to cure that, as well as observations I make about different countries and all that comes with moving about and settling in along the way.

Ryan Zimmerman returned to the lineup for the Washington Nationals on Friday night, finished with the frustration of watching his team play without him.
"It's tough," Zimmerman said. "Over the last three or four years, unfortunately, I've learned how to deal with that stuff a little better than I used to."
He went 0 for 4 with four strikeouts in a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Zimmerman hopes to avoid another stint on the disabled list, a place he has been infuriatingly familiar with in recent seasons. Zimmerman has missed time on the DL the past three seasons, and in 2010 an injury sidelined him for the final 10 games. Zimmerman also missed two months in 2008 because of a shoulder injury.
If Zimmerman plays every game for the remainder of this season, he will end the year having played 140 games per season since his 2006 rookie year. Meanwhile, at only age 28, he has spent 133 games on the disabled list.
"It's part of the game," Zimmerman said. "You're not going to play this sport or any sport for a long period of time and not have to miss any games. It happens. You learn from it and move on. It does no good to get mad or get frustrated when you can't do anything about it."
Zimmerman could be forgiven for being miffed about his frequent trips to the disabled list. He keeps himself in good shape — he has weighed the same for the past five years. He starts hitting and throwing at the same point in the winter now as when he used to, including the 2007 season, when he played in all 162 games. He has no chronic injuries — he missed time the past three seasons with a torn abdominal muscle, an inflamed shoulder joint and a pulled hamstring.
"There's nothing you can really do," Zimmerman said. "My body has felt good every year. I've done the same thing in the offseason that I've done in the past. It's just a matter of playing games. I think the more games you play, the more apt you are to get hurt. That's why guys who play 155, 160 games every year for 10, 12 years is so incredible."
While the Nationals re-inserted one middle-of-the-order bat into their lineup with the return of Zimmerman, right fielder Jayson Werth likely will miss the weekend series in Pittsburgh with a balky left hamstring, Manager Davey Johnson said. Tyler Moore, who played right field and batted sixth on Friday, will likely take Werth's place in all three starting lineups.
Werth talked his way into Thursday night's lineup against the Braves, only to leave in the fourth inning with tightness in his left hamstring after he felt a slight twinge reaching for a ball in the outfield.
Though hamstring injuries have landed Zimmerman and catcher Wilson Ramos on the disabled list, Werth's injury is more mild and different in nature.

Equal parts punk and pixie, singer Kristen May is our kind of pop star — she's got the smudgy liner and statement boots, but she's also got a heartbreakingly clear voice and a no-nonsense attitude. May is the frontwoman of the poised-to-explode Vedera, a Kansas City foursome that just released Stages, their second album. We snagged her in between shows to get her beauty faves.
What's your beauty routine?
When we're on tour I stick to a fairly consistent routine so I can focus on things outside of my makeup. I start with primer so everything stays on, then use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. It has apricot kernel extract and chamomile to calm the skin and never feels heavy. I have to have some sunscreen in there — no sunburn for me!
Go-to makeup?
I always use bronzer or blush to define my cheekbones. Usually I go for a semi-neutral to soft pink lip, like Becca's Beach Tint. I rarely make it to the beach but at least I can live vicariously through my makeup!
And on stage?
For night I add some black eyeliner, play up my eyes a bit more, and add extra blush. Smokey eyes are always fun for night and stage.
Any eye makeup tips?
I trust MAC's line of eyeshadows but I like to mix the colors up. For a natural-looking smokey eye, Kid is great for the crease. Then I experiment with different shades: Dazzlelight, Hoodwinked, Saddle, Mulch, and Embark. Whatever the color, make sure when you use eyeliner it blends into the shadow — so much more natural if you can't see the line!
What's your survival kit?
Chapstick, mascara, and an eyelash curler. And I love love Oscar Blandi's Pronto Dry Shampoo for the road.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Help with Nemesis?
I need help knocking down the Nemesis when you have to give him that shot I think?
ttoelover67 - 5 years ago
Shoot him. A lot.
zxSnake - 5 years ago
easy way is use lupo with guns a blasing... shoot from the ground floor behind boxes and not from the raptors. Because nemesis is shooting from the hip the boxes on the ground level block all his shoots so just get close depending on the weapon and lay into him.
jvnnyd - 5 years ago
Another good way is to simply allow the army peeps to wear him down for you also a solid team of 4 should do it as well. I also agree with the previous statement getting close behind boxes is the way to go. Another good weapon to use is the preferator its an auto shotgun that works well at taking him down.
owenii54 - 5 years ago
Character: Vector
Weapon: Any
Perk: Active Camo
Strat: When the level first begins, camp at the ammo box using it for cover + ammo.
Eventually the Spec ops will come and start to hammer on Nemesis, they with a combined effort of your team will eventually bring Nemesis down to a knee, from there activate your camo, then rush him and proceed to "repairing him"
meisei - 5 years ago
i thought this bit was well hard, and i failed too many times. but i did crack it in the end so here goes,
also before i start in contrary to the other answers, i stayed on the upper level right the way through and i used the militia rifle with assault class and incendinary bullets.
when you start off stay near the ammo cache after immediately collecting a first aid spray and the infection spray of course, and forget about nemesis for now. instead start popping all the zombies around your squad and then refill your ammo and then sprint straight over to where there is a green herb, (notice that your squad doesnt follow you but instead keep the zombies off your back) and shoot the red barrel in front of you to stop it getting blown up in your face. from this position you can stand so you can just see nemesis' head through the railings and its bullets wont pass through the grill your stood on so your pretty safe. all you have to do is keep and eye on your squad because if they get infected they WILL run at you so kill them before they turn and all thats left is the odd zombie that might get to you. As with any tough enemy, shoot only in its head using incendinary bullets when you can and eventually it will move away to the further part of the area. now kill the spec ops directly in front of you by shooting the barrel or whatever, its up to you. resupply ammo, health and revive any sqaud members that are fallen aslong as they are on the upper level, try not to go downstairs because there is a high chance (i found) that you will get hit by stray bullets and attract a shedload of zombies which obviously is not wanted. after doing this, its time for you to move onto the platform OPPOSITE from where you just shot a load of spec ops, beware though, as you move closer to the nemesis more spec ops will appear from the same position( the grey tin shed), and also from the left walkway, the ones from the left can be easily dispatched by shooting barrels as they walk past them (theres two barrels i think) and thats where you want to go, to the left and you will find another ammo cache and some covver directly facing the nemesis. from here take out all spec ops remaining before you even look at nemesis cos they will shoot you before him. now your squad will follow you here and take care of most of the zombies that come running at you but not all. this is the part i died the most because you have to watch out for zombies and when you need an ammo refill the nemesis can shoot you quite easily and health ca be lost very quickly with no first aids or herbs, this bit is a bugger. anyway once all spec ops are dealt with, and with your team there helping you, you will find less and less zombies seem to come upstairs after so long. now start shooting at the nemesis again preferably in the head using incendinary bullets when you can do seem to help somewhat. the only thing is now, is to only shoot him, when hes not shooting at you. this may take a few tries to get used to using this method but i found it the most hassle free. good luck
molefeatures - 5 years ago
Just stand anywhere on the second floor walkways to where you're you can shoot his head between the railing bars, but with the floor blocking his Chaingun.
As for the Spec Ops, bring an SMG. Then shoot one of them till they get Blood Frenzy and watch the zombies swarm them. Rinse and repeat until you only have zombies and Nemesis to deal with, at which point dispatch the zombies as needed.
I used an SMG for this fight. Seemed to work quite well.
Crunchyz - 5 years ago
Beat the living S*** out of him died 16 times on that part and finnaly killed him with specters gun (multia rifle).
roflman546 - 5 years ago
I defeat him very easy by doing this.
First thing - Find your Ammo Crate as ammo source, then find cover that near ammo crate. (I refer use box as cover on catwalk near ammo crate)
2nd step - I keep firing to Nemesis's head from cover. when ammo run out, straight for ammo create, then back to cover for continue attacking
repeat 2nd step until Nemesis is down.
also. keep eye out for zombie. let some special ops soldier alive if they not brother you, they seem attack to Nemesis as well.

VietNamNet Bridge – The 27th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Myanmar next year is likely to have less events than in previous years.
VietNamNet Bridge – The 27th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Myanmar next year is likely to have less events than in previous years.
The host revealed that a plan had been proposed to the Olympic Council of Asia outlining 28 sports, 12 less than the 26th Games in Indonesia last November.
According to U Khin Maung Lwin, joint general secretary of the Myanmar Olympic Committee, they had selected sports that played to their strengths and were in keeping with their culture.
Lwin said he would present a comprehensive plan to the participating countries at a meeting at the end of April in Indonesia.
As host of the Games, Myanmar has the right to propose the number of sports and include national favourites. However, it also has to ensure the inclusion of two basic events in track-and-field and aquatic sports.
What do you want to play?
27th SEA Games sports: track-and-field, aquatic sports, archery, badminton, basketball, billiards and snooker, boxing, canoeing and rowing, cycling, football, golf, hockey, judo, karate, sepak takraw, shooting, table tennis, taekwondo, indoor volleyball, weightlifting, wushu, tennis, chess, bodybuilding, petanque, traditional boat racing and yatching.
Gymnastics, an event Myanmar is weak in but one in which Viet Nam won 11 gold medals last year, along with beach volleyball and dance sport will be among those axed.
Lwin said beach volleyball and dance sport were cut because they were not in keeping with the customs of local women.
At the Indonesian Games, Myanmar finished seventh overall, with 16 gold, 27 silver and 37 bronze medals. The top three places went to Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam.

Williams seeks donor to help wife battle cancer
Real Salt Lake forward Andy Williams' team bio details his soccer career. His 11 seasons in MLS. His years with the Jamaican national team. His time at the University of Rhode Island.
Now, after years of Marcia Williams pulling for her husband to win on the pitch, Andy Williams is determined to do all he can to help her come up with the kind of victory that dwarfs any soccer outcome.
On July 3, 2008, Marcia was diagnosed with leukemia. After months of feeling tired and with tests showing no abnormalities, she asked her doctor to test her for cancer. Initially, her doctor thought she was overreacting. She was young and had no risk factors, but Marcia had taken a class on nursing years before, and it had stuck with her. She pushed for the test.
The oncologist assured her it would be nothing as well. And then her test results came back. Marcia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia type 6, a variation that impacts about 5 percent of those with the disease and has a worse than average prognosis.
It felt like the world stopped. The couple sat down with their daughters and explained difficult times lay ahead, but Marcia made it very clear that she was going to do everything she could to beat the disease.
"Originally when we found out, we didn't really tell anyone," Andy said. "But word got around, and people started coming and offering support."
One of those people was Deb Harper, who knew the Williams family as a fan and longtime volunteer with Real Salt Lake.
"When Marcia was diagnosed, we just knew that they were going to need a lot of help," Harper recalled.
Harper and a few friends decided to do whatever they could to provide that assistance, and Soccer Unites was born. Soccer Unites was created to help find a bone marrow donor for Marcia, but the organization is not about just one woman. The group partnered with DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center. DKMS registers potential donors and places their information in a database where they can be matched with patients.
Soccer Unites has organized a number of drives to register people as bone marrow donors, and it's a relatively simple procedure.
"For me, I had no clue what testing would entail, and I was pretty sure it would be some crazy procedure," Andy said. "But it's a just a simple procedure where you get your cheek swabbed and you go into a database that checks to see if you match anyone else. If it does, then they give you a call if you want to donate your bone marrow."
Both the testing and the donation process have come a long way in recent years. In the past, procedures involved drilling into the bone. Now, the most common form of donation is similar to donating blood platelets, where blood is taken from one arm, run through a machine and then returned to the body in the other arm.
"With these drives, just because we might not find a match from Marcia doesn't mean we won't find a match for somebody else, including a lot of children that have leukemia," Harper said. "Blood type doesn't matter. Nationality doesn't matter. Ethnicity doesn't matter. It's just if you're a match."
However, minority groups may be more likely to share traits that make them a match for one another, and minorities are severely underrepresented in the donor registry. Williams said his wife's doctor put the number of minority donors in the registry at 12 percent, and other national figures show extremely low numbers as well. This disparity is something the Williams family is trying to bring attention to as Marcia continues her own personal fight with cancer.
"We'd like to find a match for ourselves," Andy said. "But God put this on her to maybe open other people's eyes."
Bringing attention to the cause is not something the family set out to do, but the Williamses are using the platform they have -- and the results have been overwhelming.
When Harper first spoke with DKMS, she was told the average turnout for a bone marrow drive was 25 people. Previous Soccer Unites drives have brought in almost 200 each. And the organization hopes to attract even more potential donors to its upcoming drives, something it is confident it can do, especially with the help of Real Salt Lake.
On Sunday, Soccer Unites held a drive that was publicized with Real Salt Lake's help and registered 210 donors. Another is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 29 from 3 to 7 p.m. and will take place at Real Salt Lake's Rio Tinto Stadium. Three other drives -- Feb. 20 in Tampa and Feb. 21-22 in Fort Lauderdale -- are planned to coincide with the team's preseason training in Florida.
"With this whole [bone marrow drive] effort, it really takes precedence over everything else," Real Salt Lake president Bill Manning said. "The guys aren't worried about Andy and how he plays on the field, they're worried about his wife.
"We realize there are things that are more important than soccer," Manning said. "If someone is in need or can be helped by others, and if a public organization, like we are -- or sports teams in general -- can come together to help a cause, I think that's good. This is about more than wins and losses on the field."
The outreach has come not just from Real Salt Lake but from teams throughout MLS, from Chivas USA to FC Dallas to Red Bull New York. In fact, RSL rival Colorado was the first club to get involved, Andy Williams noted.
"It's been amazing how it's come together," Harper said. "You see these guys on the field battling, but there's such a friendship and bond off the field."
The support has aided the Williamses during this trying time.
"Some days are better than others," Andy said. "We go into the hospital once a week to see if she has any infections or how her blood count is doing. It's been steadily declining. It's at the point where chemo is around the corner. It's been tough, but we have great family and neighbors. The team has been awesome. There's nothing more we can ask for, except to find a match."
The ideal window in which to do that is closing. If a match for Marcia is found, doctors would like to perform the transplant after her first round of chemotherapy, meaning the next six to eight weeks are crucial. As with every other part of this ordeal, such a deadline can seem overwhelming, but the family works to focus on the present.
"Since we've had all this stuff, it's one day at a time," Andy said. "Some days we almost forget about it, and other days it comes up and it can be kind of gloomy and everyone is in a bad mood. ... But we've learned don't take anything for granted. You never know what life will give, so you enjoy the moment. You look forward and look for the best. We certainly look forward. Some days, it feels like a dream, that you'll wake up and it was just a dream."
Instead, the family hopes a real-life dream is soon realized -- that a donor can be found for Marcia.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Many don't consider Microsoft (MSFT) the sexiest of technology stocks, but rising portfolios never go out of fashion. I've been solidly bullish on Microsoft in 2013, and as we move toward 2014, I consider the tech giant a strong buy. After writing "Microsoft Is a Must-Have for Your Portfolio," I received exorbitant praise for my insights in the comments:
"I've read stories like this for the past ten years. And the stock has barely moved. They've acquired companies, tried new things, but still a flat stock. I believe it's a cultural issue and it's not easy to change the culture in such a large company for a new CEO. And if they choose Elop, it's doomed from the beginning. Look at what happened to Nokia's stock after he joined."
"Windows based servers on the cloud? Give me a break. Windows is a POS, only surviving because of inertia. It is stunningly fragile, has a truly disgusting architecture (if you could call it that) resembling a pile of excrement on top of a pile of vomit in a pool of pus. Finally, Microsoft has singlehandedly set back computing by 20 years."
Well, commenters may not agree with me, but the numbers are on my side. Since the article, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) returned 4.85%. Very respectable. But Microsoft returned over 15% while also paying a greater dividend yield. Not bad for three months. The mobile market has me excited for Microsoft in 2014, and I'll explain why.
In the battle of mobile market share dominance, Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) are normally viewed as the winners while BlackBerry (BBRY) is considered the loser, having lost its way and income stream. With BlackBerry trading at under $6 a share, the market has all but lost faith in the company.
But I'm long BlackBerry. Shares of BlackBerry are so cheap! I think the most shareholder value would come from a sale that may not happen in time, but I'm still long. I don't suggest betting the farm on it, but as a small-allocation lottery ticket, it's compelling.
One way or another, I think BlackBerry won't be the same this time next year. In my opinion, the real mobile space winner in 2014 won't be BlackBerry, though. Watch for Microsoft in 2014 to capture market share from Google.
It's hard to deny the recent success of Microsoft and Nokia (NOK), although not so long ago they were left for dead on the side of the information superhighway. According to Counterpoint, Nokia is now the fourth largest smartphone brand in the United States and holds a record high 4% market share. That's greater than Google's Motorola Mobility. Beating Motorola isn't the end goal, but it does demonstrate that, to paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Windows Mobile's death are greatly exaggerated. For Microsoft investors, the best is yet to come.
Microsoft can say what they will about Bing, but "just as good" isn't good enough for me to switch my searches from Google to Bing. Still, Microsoft has another compelling reason for consumers and business users alike to migrate some Google activities to Microsoft.
SkyDrive, the Microsoft web offering that includes online versions of Outlook mail, Office Word and Excel isn't new. I've used it for a couple of years now, along with Google's Drive and Gmail. What's new is that SkyDrive has leapt ahead of Google in terms of features and ease, and users are starting to catch on.

Internal Hostname Lookup
I manage a small network in my home with a combination of windows and linux hosts. For a while I have simply accessed other pc's using their ip address as linux does not automatically resolve the internal host names with my router. I'm wanting to change this.
I was thinking the way to go about it would be to set up a custom dhcp and dns server on my server to do this, however I would like it not to be static, i.e. when a new host registers with the dhcp server, its hostname is automatically added to the dns entry, and then removed again when the dhcp entry expires (or updated the next time the same hostname reconnects).
Does anyone know how to do this? Or any decent howto's online? Can you recommend anything else instead? I have spent a while trying to find this information but all I can find is how to set up a dhcp server with no name resolution, or a dns server with static name resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Just an idea, I don't know if it will work though. If you are running an open source router firmware, and perhaps even with a closed source firmware that allows telnet, you may be able to run a cron script to pull the current dhcp table from the router on a regular basis. Parse this information and add it into your /etc/hosts file for your machine. Make sure the script can identify your static hosts and your dynamic hosts (those pulled from the cron script.)
Hope this gives you a lead.

Brad Rock: Jazz's Hayward an investment with a qualifier
TerryHaimes Sturgis, MSJan. 23, 2014 2:52 p.m.
I think Rock's article on Hayward is about as accurate as his article on Jeff H. adjustment period coaching the Suns. I would like to build a team around Hayward. I believe he can lead a team to become NBA champions.
Jazz management is counting on the restricted free agent hammer to hold Hayward. Don't be surprised when he signs the qualifying offer which is for one year.
USA basketball has picked him as one of the best 28 American players. Favors did not get included.
LongTermThinker SLC, UTJan. 22, 2014 10:25 a.m.
While I agree with your analysis of the current Jazz position with Hayward, the problem is they have to sign the contract before they know if they have a superstar to put next to him. That could happen next year or the year after.
If Burke learns to pass the ball at the appropriate time, Hayward could be a 20 pt per game guy. Right now Burke wants to be the show, so we'll see how that turns out.
I've always felt the reason the Jazz didn't sign the extension was they wanted to see how the 2014 draft turned out. DL seems like too much of a money ball player, and he makes decisions like signing John Lucas that don't seem to make much sense given the fact that everyone in the NBA knows Lucas has never seen a shot he didn't like or want to take. He's totally incompatible with this team but Corbin is hung with him mostly because DL really likes him.
Hayward is worth the $50 mil for a lot of reasons and the Jazz should keep him and Favors for their careers.
Jazz Source Alpine, UTJan. 22, 2014 10:04 a.m.
Hayward is getting better as the season progresses. Guess what? He has a pattern of doing this. Go back and look at his stats. He starts each season poorly and gets better as the months roll by.
If you are looking for difference makers on this team I would say he is third. As the team/players currently exist Trey Burke is the #1 impact player as evidenced by our horrific start and immediate turn around once he was starting.
2nd is Derrick Favors. Favors defends the middle and patrols the paint and changes a boatload of shots every single game. We lose when he is not in the linuep because Kanter can't guard his own grandmother let alone the rim.
Hayward is third because he can score and do other things that "help" the team win.
Last night we watched Kanter go in and out of the lineup exchanging places with Gobert who is raw and green. Gobert in the deficit dropped by 10-13 points. Kanter in immediately a layup drill by Minnesota. There is no denying. Kanter is Al Jefferson his mentor.
Anyways, to summarize Hayward is not a franchise player but rather a complementary player.
Little Andy Tremonton, UTJan. 22, 2014 7:06 a.m.
Hayward still shows signs of greatness but also not being there all the time. Like him on the team but if Jazz could get some good pieces from lets say a three way trade with Boston included then I woulod pull the trigger.
Problem with last nights game is when Ty plays Lucas at all he is throwing in the towel.

A state parks official says tests have confirmed that an animal killed by hunters in Trego County in December was a wolf.
DNA testing conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed the animal was a western Great Lakes wolf, a subspecies of the gray wolf.
Ron Kaufman, a spokesman for the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, says officials haven't determined if the wolf was wild or had been in captivity.
The animal's body has been turned over to the federal wildlife agency. Gray wolves are a protected species outside extreme northern United States.

When positive results will be visible after first fraxel for acne scars. I have taken my first sitting on 4th August 2012. Please suggest which face wash should i use?
When Will Positive Results Will Be Visible After First Fraxel for Acne Scars?
Doctor Answers 2
Fraxel laser smooths acne scars
There are several types of Fraxel laser. Assuming you had an ablative treatment like Fraxel Repair, you should see some improvement after the basic healing is complete in 2-3 weeks. Healing and remodeling continues under the skin for several months providing further smoothing and tightening of the skin. Typically, my patients and I will look at the result after 6th months and decide if a second treatment should be done, which is common for acne scars and somewhat less so for wrinkle treatments.

NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Zebra Technologies (ZBRA), a maker of barcode scanners, printers and other tools, said Tuesday it would acquire the enterprise unit of Motorola Solutions (MSI) in a deal valued at $3.45 billion.
The Motorola business to be acquired is a manufacturer of rugged computers, tablets and scanners used by retailers, logistics firms, manufacturers and other corporate users. The business generated sales of about $2.5 billion in 2013.
Lincolnshire, Ill.-based Zebra said that the purchase would create a $3.5 billion business that is able to offer a full line of mobile asset tracking technology. Post-deal Zebra would boast 20,000 channel partners in more than 100 countries and a portfolio of more than 4,500 U.S. and international patents issued and pending.
The company said it would fund the deal, which is not subject to a financing condition, with about $200 million in cash on hand and $3.25 billion in new credit facilities and the sale of debt.
"This acquisition will transform Zebra into a leading provider of solutions that deliver greater intelligence and insights into our customers' enterprises and extended value chains," Zebra CEO Anders Gustafsson said in a statement. "It positions Zebra as a leading technology innovator, with the accelerating convergence of mobility, data analytics and cloud computing."
The sale continues the dismantling of communications pioneer Motorola, which split its handset and cable box division off in 2010. That unit, Motorola Mobility, was acquired by Google (GOOG) in $12.5 billion, with Google later splitting it further and selling most of the assets.

The lone vaper at my company.
Published by cantmissamy in the blog My journey into becoming a non-smoker.. Views: 179
I started a new job and so far I am the only vaper there. How lonely it is to stand outside with the smokers and have to smell them and think I use to be one of you. I do get some strange looks. It really feels good though knowing that no matter how many smoker's I can vape and not be tempted to smoke.
