NEW YORK (AP) — Syria's decision to give up its chemical weapons is sending the U.S. stock market higher and the price of crude oil lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 127 points, or 0.9 percent, to close at 15,191 Tuesday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 12 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,684. The Nasdaq composite rose 22 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,729.
The price of crude, which closed above $110 a barrel on Friday, lost $2.13, or 2 percent, to $107.39 a barrel.
Goldman Sachs, Nike and Visa rose after being added to the Dow average.
Apple fell $11.53, or 2 percent, to $494.64 after announcing two new iPhone models.
Two stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was heavier than usual.

Beyond making you laugh till you soil yourself, the above depiction of the fearmongering of the media should raise some questions. After seeing it, I got to thinking about the role of the media in our society. Freedom of the press, friends of liberty have always thought (and rightly so), is an essential safeguard against government power. The press helps to keep its people informed and to question authorities and expose their failures. Most contemporary media outlets, however, it seems to me, totally fail to serve this purpose. The media are friends of the government, not a means by which it is kept in check. They nurture the fear that big government feeds upon. And this is just as true of Fox News as it is of CNN. The right has scared us into an unnecessary war, and the left has scared us into unprecedented deficit "stimulus" spending. And it's easy to laugh when the media overdramatizes the flu, but maybe we should consider that they've done the same with much more serious problems.

French Inspiration: Rustic Kitchen & Bathroom
Long time followers of what we consider to be the best curated graphic design blog out there — Graphic-ExchanGE — we're thrilled to get a peak into the fabulous French country home of these designer / blogger extraordinaires and owners of the lovely Harmonie Interieure wall sticker workshop...
We thought this was a wonderful way to round out Kitchen and Bath month here on AT. The rustic simplicity of these spaces in combination with the lush greenery everywhere really has us inspired and ready for spring. Thank you so much, Fabien and Frederique, for sharing!

ReactOS released news today regarding the project's status, recent confusion and future development. The news item is slightly confusing in itself though, but the the gist is this: there is no code inside the ReactOS SVN repository that has been directly pasted from Windows source code. However, it might be that some people had access to Windows source code and used it as inspiration-- these developers should mark their code as 'dangerous', and these sections will then be audited by a 'clean' person.

Nvidia Corp. has quietly added low-end DirectX 10-compliant offerings into its product lineup. The novelties are expected to become available from several manufacturers, but at this time there is no recommended price onto the new graphics cards from the chip developer itself.
Nvidia's GeForce 8400 GS graphics cards are based on the code-named G86 graphics processing units (GPUs) and will come equipped with 128MB or 256MB of onboard memory.
There are not a lot of details about Nvidia's G86, but what is known is that it features 16 unified shader processors, 64-bit memory controller and features 450MHz/900MHz clock-speeds for the core, whereas memory operates at 800MHz. The G86 chip is made using 80nm process technology.
Pricing of the new boards remains not totally clear, but neither of the two versions will be priced at higher than $89, according to some sources familiar with the company's plans. Nvidia did not release any statements on the matter of the GeForce 8400 GS announcement by press time, nonetheless, the appropriate product is listed on its web-site.
"Awesome features at an incredible value – Nvidia GeForce 8400 graphics processors deliver. Essential for watching HD DVD and Blu-ray movies on a PC, accelerating the Microsoft Windows Vista experience, and powering Microsoft DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 games," Nvidia's description of the world's first low-end DirectX 10 graphics card reads.
The release of a cost-effective DirectX 10-compliant graphics board implies that Nvidia is ready to cover virtually all market segments with modern GPUs, something, which will take its rival ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, some time, as the company started to ship its new Radeon HD 2000-series graphics chips to partners relatively recently.

(35.6 × 27.8 cm)Medium: PaperDescriptionLithographic print by Arthur P. Freeman titled "A Last Salute to the President" and copyrighted 1964, printed on thin watercolor paper.The print shows a large profile portrait of President John F. Kennedy against a cloudy blue sky and suggestions of an American flag behind him in the upper right corner of the print. In the middle ground is the dome of the United States Capitol building on the left side of the print flanked by various forms of greenery and other cloud forms on the right middle ground. In the right foreground is a likeness of John F. Kennedy, Jr. as a little boy wearing a blue coat, white socks, and shiny brown shoes reminiscent of what he wore the day of his father's funeral, Monday, November 25, 1963. John F. Kennedy, Jr. is shown with his right hand up to his forehead in a saluting position; this is the iconic image of him from President Kennedy's funeral. In the left foreground is an image of a white banner with greenery underneath it; text painted in red on the banner: "a Last Salute to the President - / John F. Kennedy Jr." In the lower right corner is the following text printed over the image in black: "(c) 1964, Arthur P. Freeman".These images are not available online larger than a thumbnail to protect the copyright of their creator(s). For a more detailed examination of this item, please schedule an appointment in the Museum's Reading Room.Curator's NotesIncluded in the Museum's temporary exhibit, "Mourning a President," about the funeral and mourning rites for President John F. Kennedy, this item will be on display on the Museum's seventh floor from November 17, 2017 to February 19, 2018. -- Lindsey Richardson, Curator of CollectionsThree-year-old John F. Kennedy, Jr. saluting his father's casket, as captured by several still and moving photographers that Monday, November 25, was arguably the singular image that affected the nation and the world more profoundly than any other in a weekend filled with vivid and powerful imagery. Those who witnessed that moment live began to "crumple as though struck," as described by William Manchester in "The Death of a Preisdent." Cardinal Cushing, speaking eight months after the Kennedy funeral, recalled watching the young boy's salute: "Oh God, I almost died." It was a moment that inspired poets, artists, musicians and sculptors, and it remains one of the most recognized images of the era. In "The Death of a President," Manchester writes of this moment: "Somehow the mood and meaning of the day had reached the President's son. His elbow was cocked at precisely the right angle, his hand was touching the shock of hair, his left arm was rigidly at his side, his shoulders were squared and his chin in. His bearing was militant, and to see it in a three-year-old, with his bare legs stiff below his short coat, his knees dimpled and his blunt red shoes side by side--to hear the slow swell of the music, and recall how the President had idolized him--was almost insupportable." -- Stephen Fagin, Curator Tags Artwork Funeral Kennedy, John F.

|go ahead... be a heretic
Java programming and Perlby heatblazer (Scribe)
|on Dec 03, 2012 at 18:28 UTC ( #1006922=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
heatblazer has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello, all
I `ve heard rumors that Perl can be glued to other programming languages such as C++. I am interested how can this be done in Java, so I can use some tools from Perl I can`t normally use from Java, also, can I pack it into the jar file, so, let`s say, I can use a java program with Perl bindings on Android device?
I`d really appreciate some small examples and explanations.
Here is an example in Java with it`s defaults scripting engine(JS).
Updated Passing a .js script file will result in executing it, also the js can interact with the program if programmed. Perl has Java modules from CPan, in Java cookbook by F.Darwin there is a topic: "Marrying Perl and Java" which gives a partial answer to my desire, but - it`s going from Perl, I need something as above code but with perls scripts so like I can program my java app with a small perl scirpt, let`s say perl script will search for files, java will read and execute them.(Just example, I won`t do exactly this).
I wonder if it can be done with Perl?

Attempting to keep automatic spending cuts from taking effect on March 1, Senate Democrats, with White House backing, have proposed an alternative to the sequester.
Without congressional action, in coming weeks federal agencies will be forced to implement $85 billion across-the-board cuts as part of $1.2 trillion in cuts mandated over the next 10 years.
In key ways the Democrat's proposal hews closely to the farm bill passed by the Senate last summer. The "alternative sequester" would mean an end to direct payments, which were part of the 2008 farm bill extension passed in early January.
Ending direct payments would provide some $31 billion. Democrats would use $3.5 billion for disaster assistance and to fund programs left out of the aforementioned farm bill extension. The $27 billion-plus left would go to deficit reduction.
"In agriculture, we're being very serious about evaluating government spending and setting priorities for taxpayers as well as farmers and ranchers," said Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, during a Thursday (Feb. 14) afternoon press conference. "In the process of writing the farm bill (in 2012) and evaluating what made sense to spend taxpayer dollars on, we agreed on a bipartisan basis that direct payments didn't make sense, that we shouldn't be providing a subsidy to farmers during good times of high prices or when they didn't have a loss.
Risk-based system
"We moved to a risk-based, market-based system that saved money but also makes a lot more sense."
Having just returned from a series of meetings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Randy Veach, Arkansas Farm Bureau president, said farmers should continue with plans to begin signing up for farm programs on Feb. 19.
In explaining the alternative proposal, "Sen. Reid said he'd take away direct payments for the 2014 through the 2023 farm bill. Obviously absent in that is he didn't attack the direct payments in the 2013 (farm bill) extension. That gives us a little more certainty that we will get those direct payments (this year)."
A vote on the proposal is expected the week after Congress returns from the President's Day break.
Reaction to the plan from farm and rural interest groups was quick and mixed.
"We applaud (Senate Leader Harry Reid) for proposing to fix the fiscally irresponsible and unfair farm bill extension that was slapped together behind closed doors at the end of 2012," said Ferd Hoefner, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition Policy Director.
"The package outlined today is a first step toward restoring both a sane fiscal policy and a fair farm bill extension. With that in mind, the sustainable agriculture community calls on House, Senate, and White House leaders to work immediately toward a deal that averts or substantially modifies the sequester and corrects the farm bill extension so that it actually extends the full farm bill while beginning the long overdue job of reforming subsidies."
Meanwhile, Andrew Grobmyer, executive vice-president of the Agriculture Council of Arkansas, was clearly displeased with the proposal. "The Agricultural Council of Arkansas strongly opposes the Stabenow proposal to eliminate direct payments as part of a 'sequestration alternative.' Eliminating this important program for farmers without a viable safety net alternative for this region is irresponsible and damaging to Arkansas agriculture.
"We would hope that Congress would be wise enough to not eliminate these important programs without providing alternative risk management tools for producers in Arkansas. Chairman Stabenow's plan as proposed will undoubtedly cause substantial harm to farmers, rural banks and agribusinesses, and rural economies in Arkansas."

Bigfork and Sidney teachers chosen as finalists
News update: Paul Andersen has been chosen as one of four national finalists in the National Teacher of the Year event!
Watch Paul's amazing video about teaching.
October 2011 - The Montana Professional Teaching Foundation has announced the 2011 Montana Teacher of the Year: Paul Andersen of Bozeman. To be named Teacher of the Year is the highest honor a Montana teacher can achieve.
Andersen teaches Advanced Placement Biology and Physical Science at Bozeman High School.
"Paul's extraordinary talent is matched only by his ability to get ordinary people to understand the complex topics he teaches," said Andersen's colleague, Ken Gibson. "He has the uncanny skill to connect with students who struggle as well as those who achieve at high levels."
Former students speak of Andersen with "reverence," said colleague Scott Taylor, and many of them say Andersen inspired them to pursue careers in science or medicine themselves.
The Montana Teacher of the Year program annually recognizes a teacher who exemplifies the best in the teaching profession. The program is sponsored and administered by the Montana Professional Teaching Foundation.
An interview committee composed of 2010 Montana Teacher of the Year Anne Keith, other educators, a parent, a high school student, Montana Board of Public Education Chair Patty Myers, and business sponsor Tim Warner of Blue Cross Blue Shield chose Andersen from among three finalists September 11.
Andersen not only shares his fascination with the natural world with his students, he speaks their language in terms of technology, using Facebook, texting, and YouTube as teaching tools.
"We could throw up our hands and ban technology from our schools, or we could see this as a teachable moment," Andersen says. "Curriculum is not just a textbook anymore. It is videos, podcasts, discussion boards, wikis, blogs, primary documents, and much more."
Andersen has been posting lessons to YouTube for two years. (You can see his videos at http://www.youtube.com/bozemanbiology). Students can preview and review lessons from class at home on their own schedule. And it isn't just Bozeman High School students who are benefiting: Andersen's videos have generated over 280,000 views from around the world.
Andersen's leadership and expertise with technology has led the entire Bozeman School District to become more tech-savvy for the benefit of better teaching and learning, according to Bozeman Superintendent Kirk Miller.
In a joint letter of support for Andersen's nomination as Teacher of the Year, Miller and Assistant Superintendent Marilyn King wrote, "Paul is a visionary in the same class as Steve Jobs and Ted Sizer." Plus, they wrote, Andersen has the passion to help students, teachers, and administrators "move toward their personal visions of excellence."
Andersen earned his degrees in biology and science education at Montana State University-Bozeman.
As Montana Teacher of the Year, he will serve as a spokesperson and advocate for the teaching profession and represent Montana in the 2011 National Teacher of the Year event.
Finalists: Finalists in the 2011 Montana Teacher of the Year event are Elaine Stedman, a business, computer, and French teacher in Sidney; and Mary Dockstader Sullivan, an English teacher at Bigfork High School.
Andersen, Stedman, and Sullivan all will be honored at a gala celebration October 21 in Helena. The Montana Professional Teaching Foundation sponsors the celebration in conjunction with the annual MEA-MFT Educators' Conference.
The Montana Professional Teaching Foundation, based in Helena, works to enhance the teaching profession and promote quality education in Montana. The Montana Teacher of the Year program is one of several events and projects sponsored by the foundation. Others include:
• the Karen Cox Memorial Grants to help teachers who pay for classroom resources out of their own pockets;
• the annual Montana Educator Forum that brings educators and policy makers together to address cutting edge issues in education;
• National Board Scholarships & Candidate Support; and
• Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics & Science Teaching.

Review: Siena Tavern
51 W. Kinzie St. 312-595-1322
Rating: 3 (out of four) Off to a good start
Fabio Viviani was a fan favorite on the fifth season of "Top Chef," but since then, I've seen his charming grin and Italian accent all over the place.
There he was on a commercial for Domino's, touting a line of artisan pizzas. Or promoting oatmeal as a healthy breakfast (in red satin pajamas, of course) in an online video for Quaker Oats. And in between, he's teaching his fans Italian one word at a time on Twitter.
His on-screen antics—from the way he pronounced "burger" as "boorger" and declared, "This is 'Top Chef,' it's not 'Top Scallops,' "—were such reality TV gold that Bravo brought him back for two more shows, "Top Chef All-Stars" and "Life After Top Chef."
Now, thanks to a partnership with Luke Stoioff and David Rekhson of newly christened Dineamic Group (the guys that brought you self-serve beer at Bull & Bear and Public House), this Florence-raised, California-based chef is sharing his family recipes with Chicago.
On a research trip to Italy, the Dineamic crew was particularly taken with Siena, a Tuscan city about 45 miles outside of Florence—and more specifically, a small side-street eatery there called La Taverna. "There's a guy making pizza. There's a guy making martinis, pouring wine, making pasta on an old pasta grinder," Stoioff said. "It was literally a bar and a kitchen."
And so, everything at Siena Tavern from the Edison bulbs hanging from the ceiling to the typewriter font on the menu to the layout of multiple bars interspersed with dining nooks can be traced back to this particular place. I pulled up a barstool to see if Fabio and company's food had the potential to charm as much as his one-liners do.
Keep it light
It seems like every other word on the menu is prosciutto, pancetta, truffle or some kind of cheese, but a rich, food coma-inducing meal isn't the only way to go. Raw seafood plates from the crudo bar such as balsamic-drizzled hamachi with jalapeno slices and crispy shallots ($12) are flavor-packed but still light. And even though I usually couldn't care less about salads, combos such as hearts of palm with avocado and marcona almonds ($11) or farro with shrimp, calamari, roasted peppers and green beans ($14) sounded downright tempting.
Or majorly pig out
It's definitely not for a first date, but the mess of an appetizer that is the coccoli ($12) is closely based off a La Taverna dish. Crispy puffs of fried dough arrive on a cutting board with strips of prosciutto, blobs of stracchino (a mild, smooth Italian cheese) and drizzles of truffle honey. You break apart the dough, spread on the cheese, tear off some prosciutto and assemble it into a little bite, covering yourself in honey in the process. In the pasta department, praise for Viviani's gnocchi on "Top Chef" definitely set the bar high for his version served here with a rich truffle cream sauce flecked with fried sage and pancetta ($16). The best gnocchi is feather-light and velvety soft, while the worst is gummy and chalky—and Fabio's unquestionably is the former. Thin-crust pizzas ($14-$17) have more in common with Bar Toma's substantial crust the authentic Neopolitan styles of Nella and Spacca Napoli. The prosciutto-pear pizza reminded me of a traditional argula-topped prosciutto pie, only more indulgent thanks to roasted garlic cream sauce and grilled pears.
Expect a bit of deja vu
Siena Tavern may have been inspired by a quaint little restaurant, but the oversized tufted booths, cleavage-baring bartenders and bar that's three deep by 6:30 p.m. on a Friday are shades of Bull & Bear and Public House, for sure. Whereas beer dominates those hangouts, cocktails ($12) are much more of a focus here, thanks to Revae Schneider of Femme du Coupe (If you've drank at rooftop restaurant Homestead, that's her work, too). The No. 11 was like a memory mashup of vacationing in Mexico and Italy with tequila and grappa mingling in the same glass, while the No. 5 matched bourbon with chai, sparkling apple cider and Averna, an Italian liqueur. The staff is still working through the usual we-just-opened kinks—which means I witnessed a spilled cocktail here, a sloshed crudo plate there and the occasional pasta arriving before antipasti.
Pencil in a return visit
The menu is just too huge to try everything that sounds good in one sitting. Like Balena and RPM Italian, two other Italian restaurants that have opened within the past year or so, Siena serves a massive Florentine-style steak for two dressed with herbs, olive oil and lemon. Convincing another carnivore at the table to go halfsies on this $85 36-ounce porterhouse is easier said than done, though, especially when everyone's in the mood for pasta. My own Italian mother-in-law makes a damn good lasagna, but next time, I'll save room to try Viviani's mama's recipe ($16). Ditto for the bomboloni ($9), holeless Italian doughnuts made with mashed potatoes to give them a gooey consistency. And the house-made gelato. And 12-ounce kobe meatball. See what I mean?
Don't let the reservations situation scare you off
It's true, most of Siena Tavern's prime-time reservations are booked solid into April on opentable.com. But that doesn't mean it's as tough to get into as Chicago's most popular restaurant with "Top Chef" roots, Girl & The Goat. A decent chunk of tables in the dining room are saved for walk-ins and the entire main bar and surrounding tables are first come, first served.
Bottom line: Livelier than a traditional red-sauce joint and fancier than its sports bar siblings—though not as fancy as River North's other celeb-owned modern Italian hangout, RPM—Siena Tavern is on the way to hitting a sweet spot for downtown diners and drinkers.
Hours: 5 p.m.-2 a.m. Monday-Friday and Sunday; 5 p.m.-3 a.m. Saturday. Lunch at 11 a.m. starts March 4
Smells like: Citrus, basil and sage, thanks to bartenders peeling lemon and orange peel garnishes and a wall of herb planters behind the crudo and pizza bar.
Likes: Flavorful crudo, decadent pastas and fab cocktails
Gripes: Is anyone else sick of empty frames on the wall as a design element?
Trivia: This isn't Luke Stoioff and David Rekhson's first tie to "Top Chef." In 2005, they opened high-end lounge Stone Lotus and enlisted Dale Levitksi (who later appeared on the show's third season) to cook bites paired with bottle service.

Metal prices fell as traders anticipate that the Federal Reserve may start easing its support for the economy.
The price of gold for August delivery fell $16.20, or 1.2 percent, to $1,366.90 an ounce. Palladium and silver also declined. Only platinum bucked the trend and edged higher.
The central bank will end its two-day policy meeting Wednesday. Until this year, the Fed's bond-buying stimulus program had helped drive gold prices to record highs. Many investors thought the Fed's efforts to pump money into the financial system would lead to high inflation, and they bought gold as insurance.
Yet inflation has remained tame and the Fed may now signal it intends to ease its stimulus as the economy recovers. Gold has fallen 18 percent this year.
"The bears are maintaining control of the metals until proven otherwise," said Matt Zeman of Kingsview Financial.
Silver for July delivery fell 8.1 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $21.677 an ounce.
Copper for the same month dropped 4.25 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $3.155 a pound. Palladium for September fell $9.50, or 1.3 percent, to $708.35 an ounce.
Platinum for July gained $5.30, or 0.4 percent, to $1,440.10 an ounce.
In trading of agricultural products, wheat, corn and soybeans all rose.
Wheat for July gained 7 cents, or 1 percent, to $6.875 a bushel. Corn for December rose 12 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $5.5050 a bushel. Soybeans for November climbed 4.25 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $12.8975.
The price of oil rose above $98 Tuesday. U.S. benchmark oil for July delivery rose 67 cents to close at $98.44 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Wholesale gasoline rose 2.3 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $2.8794 a gallon. Heating oil gained 1.1 cents to $2.9617 a gallon. Natural gas increased 3 cents to $3.9050 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Of its manifold strengths, the novel is fluid and full of surprises...The author masterfully crafts vivid battle scenes and heart-pounding chases across oceans, over snow-peaked mountains and into city sewers. Neither diehard nor casual fantasy readers will be able to resist this trilogy's rousing start. An exemplar of storytelling and character-driven adventure. -- Kirkus Reviews

Monday 18th December 2012
Here we are a week before Christmas and I'm feeling a bit out of control. Realising that I still have that hat to finish, I busied myself crocheting again in my lunch break. And yet I made another mistake and had to frog a bit of it. Billy Connolly has a lot to answer for.
I stopped on the side of the road on the way home from work to take a photo across the paddocks to Mount Shadwell. I've always thought it kind of cool that Mortlake is based at the foot of the volcano, dormant at that. But then dormant isn't extinct, maybe it will blow at any moment. Ha! Living on the edge! This is the scene, the countryside, that I see each day as I drive in and out to work, sheep grazing, cows on the way to be milked, kamakazee cockatoos, wayward koalas trying to cross the road, whoever would have thought I'd end up such a country girl. But the best sight of all when I am driving is the sight of the mount, because it means I'm nearly home.
Got home tonight to the fresh smell of sweet grass, Mike had mowed the lawn, but it was too thick and sludgy for the catcher to work, so there are clumps of mowed grass in patches. Looks like we'll have a green Lucky dog tomorrow!!
Mike decided after that to head across the road for a bit of festive cheer with the boys. All he was planning to do was to take a map to them so they could find Bushy's farm and see the Christmas lights, but they plied him with wine. He came home with a grin on his face.
Oh ... and Ringo the Elf has finally made an appearance!

Thanks to advances in medicine, Americans are living longer -- but finding a way to pay the bills when your working years are in the rearview mirror can be a challenge.
Continue Reading Below
The National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. says that longevity is expected to increase at the rate of one to two months per year for each age group currently 60 and over. People who are now 60 years old can expect to live more than a year longer than their older siblings who are 70. And nearly 82% of female non-smokers who turned 60 in 1996 will still be alive at age 80.
But having financial security, particularly after age 80, may be hard. The percentage of American workers with virtually no retirement savings has grown for the third straight year, and is now up to 43%, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute's annual Retirement Confidence Survey.
Think you will live beyond age 85?
So how do you avoid outlasting your money? One solution is longevity insurance. This product kicks in at age 85. Your payout depends on the amount you've invested and the interest rate you receive.
But insurance is a bit of a misnomer for this product sold by insurer MetLife and, with some variations, by The Hartford and New York Life.
"It's a deferred annuity," says MetLife's Bennett Kleinberg, a vice president and senior actuary. "The longer people live, the more they get."
How does it work? If a 55- to 65-year-old person bought this annuity from MetLife now for $50,000 or more, it would begin to pay off when they turn 85 and pay out every year until their death.
The insurance company's new clothing
Longevity insurance has come under a lot of criticism. It is essentially a single-premium annuity for senior citizens, or "an old product dressed in new clothing," says economist Steve Weisbart of the Insurance Information Institute (III).
There are two major concerns: inflation, which reduces the real value of your payouts, and interest rates.
"When putting money away in a single premium deferred annuity, the level of long-term interest rates is always critical," says James Hunt, who evaluates life insurance for the Consumer Federation of America. He says another investment might do better, but an insurance product does have the advantage of tax deferral.
Some financial planners believe that you should consider other products that do the same but remove the risk that you will die before you collect.
Wind at our backs
Howard Hagen, a New York City-based independent benefits consultant, says that longevity insurance doesn't always make sense. Hagen warns that "insurers have changed their mortality tables to lower payouts, so you don't get as big a bang for your buck. Investment markets have done better for those who have a large portfolio." And, if you don't have a lot of money, it's a difficult decision to put away $50,000 or more in an account you may never touch, adds Hagen.
MetLife's Kleinberg admits that although longevity insurance has been on the market for several years, sales have been "small for now." Still, he says that with current market volatility and the baby boomer generation looking at the prospect of outliving their money, "the wind is at our back."
Advantage: the insured
One advantage of purchasing longevity insurance is that, unlike some other life insurance policies, no medical exam or medical history is required. You can use longevity insurance as a hedge against traditional life insurance policies, which insure against dying earlier in life.
Another advantage is that those willing to face the reality of their potential demise now have an accurate DNA test, developed by Boston University scientists, that tells you if you have the potential to live a long life.
The test results show the markers for those who may win the "lottery of life," as Science Journal puts it, and could live to be 100. These people will need to put aside money for the longer term. Those who don't take a test can potentially beat the law of averages if they know their family health history. If your parents and grandparents lived long lives, then perhaps you too will "live long and prosper."

Yes Man (UK - BD)
Our Marcus gives a resounding YES to this new Jim Carrey comedy on Blu-ray
After a little while in the mainstream wilderness with the not that bad Fun with Dick and Jane, the admittedly awful Number 23 and the still great but off-screen voice work for Horton Hears a Who, Jim Carrey returns to the sort of fare that made him a megastar.
In this new comedy, Jim plays Carl Allen, a 'No' man who flakes on his friends, hardly ever goes anywhere and after missing his best friend Peter's (Bradley Cooper) engagement party realises that he might have to make a change. Lucky for him, he's recently been told about the YES! seminar that's in town, and after attending Carl's life is about to change forever.
In the last few years the comedy world's sensibilities have shifted. Apatow's dirtier movies are making the big bucks in the box office, comedy actors like Will Ferrell, Seth Rogan and Jack Black are the names that get people out to see comedies and while Jim Carrey is still a big name, he's played the field a little with a few chancier roles, some of which have paid off and some of which have had a lukewarm reception at best. Having never read, or indeed heard of, Danny Wallace's book that the story is based on, it was Jim Carrey that got me to see this and I'm more than happy to say that his sparkle hasn't gone anywhere.
Upfront I was wasn't sure this would work anymore. It seems to have been a fair while since Jim had done this sort of thing. The likes of Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty, in which his character's life is changed by altering something in their lives, aren't my favourites in his filmography and I was worried that this might be a desperate attempt to remind people of Jim's high points and would ultimately come off as a bit of a failure. I am more than glad to report I was totally wrong on that one as well.
Jim Carrey is immediately on form, and thankfully quite grown up in his approach to the role. It's not as level and dramatic as the epically great The Truman Show, The Majestic, Man on the Moon or more recently Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but it's nowhere near as out there as Ace Ventura or Dumb and Dumber either. His character is actually a nice mix of the two styles with a lot more emphasis on the laughs and they come thick and fast. Jim's little remarks about moments or people are as golden as ever, his mannerisms spot on and with a couple of F-Bombs thrown in and some slightly dirtier material in places, Yes Man fits quite snugly into the modern climate without losing the Jim Carrey flavour of old.
The good news doesn't stop there. The supporting cast in this movie are all totally on form as well. To begin with, I don't think there's a comedian around at the moment that puts a smile on my face quite as much as Rhys Darby. I adore him as Murray in Flight of the Conchords and the fact that this is essentially the same role but played against Jim Carrey couldn't have been more welcome. The two have a great on screen chemistry and Jim Carrey seems more than happy to let Darby outshine him in a scene for the sake of more laughs, of which Darby provides a bucket load.
Next up there's Terence Stamp. It's only a small scene but my god, his YES! seminar is some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a while. Playing a character who hilariously is actually called Terrence, I was absolutely pulled into this whole Yes Man idea just by his sheer awesomeness. The moments that have him delivering pure Stamp gold with the announcement 'If the molehill won't come to Terrence, then Terrence will have to come to the molehill' while slipping out of his shoes and running over to Jim is just genius.
Lastly on the roster of delightful supporting cast is Zooey Deschanel. After her terrible turn in The Happening I didn't think I could ever love her again. I was wrong. I fell for her in this in a big bad way. Not only is she using her fantastic singing voice to uber greatness as the lead singer in the movie's band 'Munchausen by Proxy', but she's just about as funny and sweet as she always been (outside of The Crappening).
This was the second time I've watched Yes Man and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time, if not more. It's not Jim Carrey's best comedy, it has a few dud moments that make it feel out of date and the story is predictable as hell but it don't matter because simply put, it's funny and it fits 'like a glove' into his much loved filmography. While I'm more than happy for Jim to pursue meatier and more dramatic roles in the future (especially if we get another as good as The Truman Show), I hope that he still comes back to fun, goofy, silly comedies like this once in a while because he proves without a doubt here that there's still no one quite like him when it comes to this sort of stuff.
Straight off Yes Man looks all warm and clean and bright, just like a good HD transfer should. Black levels are quite good, with only the occasionally hints of them turning a little blue and textures are all represented well.
Even though this is a big glossy Hollywood comedy, I wouldn't say it was as bright or as fond of high contrasts as many other out there. Many shots seemed quite naturally lit, with extremes only coming in warm morning sunlight or well-lit bar scenes.
Generally this is a pleasing transfer, even if it's not an amazing one. It's bit lacking in HD detail, but being a comedy, I wasn't exactly expecting it to be groundbreaking on that front anyway.
The audio here was a little scatty in places. Most of the time it's what you'd expect from a comedy, with dialogue residing comfortably in the front speakers and the odd use of the rears. One slight concern I had was that some scenes had a very noticeable change of range, with much if the dialogue upping sticks and seemingly only sitting in the centre speaker. What made this weirder was that it always seemed to be more noticeable in the wider shots adding a very confined feeling to the track.
This concern was only on a few scenes and largely ignorable but whether in the TrueHD of the basic Dolby Digital selection I couldn't quite get it to feel right.
I'll let you know now, that there isn't as much here as it might seem, at least on overall runtime but I've got to say I enjoyed the majority of the extras included on this Blu-ray way more than I have others lately.
Starting off we get 'Downtime on the Set of Yes Man with Jim Carrey' (03:59 HD). This is essentially a gag reel of Jim's on set hi-jinks and generally it's funny stuff as is the actual 'Gag Reel' (05:35 HD) which had me chuckling a whole lot.
Next up on the funny features is 'Yes Man Party Central with Norman Stokes' (Rhys Darby) (02:36 HD) in which Darby in full Ron Weasley (from Harry Potter) get up , informs us he should not be mistaken for Eric Stoltz (brilliant) and shows us around his appartment in the movie in an MTV Cribs-esq style. For two and a half minutes this is an absolute blast.
Now for the feature I was most excited about, the 'Munchausen by Proxy Music Videos' of which there are five (14:33 HD) and features the songs in their full fantastic glory. Not only that, we get a spoof retro pop documentary 'Future Sound of Munchausen by Proxy' (05:28 HD) which features a history of the band and even a few clips from different music videos from their rise to fame.
Getting a little more serious (though not much) we get 'On Set with Danny Wallace: The original Yes Man' (08:32 HD), which is exactly what it says in the title and has him interviewing the cast and filming his cameo.
'Jim Carrey: Extreme Yes Man' (11:52 HD) runs us through the many stunts Jim had in the movie from downhill body skating (only used in the credits in the end), Ducati motorbike driving and of course the bungee jump. It's all good stuff and rounding off with 'Say 'Yes' to Redbull' (02:06 HD) showing us that the Redbull scene did actually have Jim fuelled by Redbull to plenty of comic effect rounds up some of the most enjoyable Blu-ray features I've watched this year so far.
Yes Man was a pleasant surprise for me despite being a long time Jim Carrey fan. Because of this I can't recommend the movie highly enough even though it's not the smartest, slickest or even funniest comedy I've seen of late.
As for the disc, features wise, all I can say is they put a smile on my face throughout even if they aren't all that long and while the A/V is never staggering, it performs well enough to be considered good. So hey, why not give it a go. Why not say 'Yes' to Yes Man. It won't change your life but it'll make you smile.

Case submitted to DA recommends vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, failure to yield to oncoming traffic
Taft Police are asking the Kern County District Attorney to file a charge of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and failing to yield to oncoming traffic against the truck driver accused of causing a fatal Labor Day weekend accident in Taft.
Vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence is a misdemeanor.
Police submitted their reports to the district attorney earlier this week.
Police initially declined to specify which charges the were seeking when the news broke on Tuesday, but today Lt. Pete Aranda released the charges being sought.
No criminal charges have yet been filed. The district attorney is reviewing the case report submitted by police before deciding whether or not to file charges.
Chad Harrelson of Bakersfield was the driver of a truck that collided with the motorcycle driven by Robert Mansell, 56 of Taft, and critically injuring Mansell's 12-year-old son Nick.
The young boy is undergoing multiple surgeries and recovering at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Harrelson, 36, was not injured in the crash.
Drugs or alcohol was not a factor in the accident, Aranda said.

I never thought I would say this, but I am at my wits end and ready to quit. My goal was to BF until 2 years but we just hit 10 months and I don't think I can go much longer. The baby has lost all patience for initiating letdown. She won't stay latched long enough to initiate and gets frustrated because milk doesn't come out instantly. I have to use my pump to initiate letdown or she will go without nursing. It started 2 months ago with only the bedtime feeding, then went to last 2 feedings of the day, and now it's every feeding except the first one in the morning. It makes me feel like she hates breastfeeding and I am torturing her trying to force her to breastfeed.
We saw a an IBLC LC who recommended getting her tongue and lip clipped but my husband just doesn't support that at 10 months so that's not an option.
Is there any hope, if I keep using the pump to initiate letdown, she will ever nurse on her own again? It's so stressful for both of us, it is impacting our relationship. It's been going on for 2 months.
She gets 3 bottles a day M-F (slowest flow available) but nurses exclusively on weekends and evenings.

Iffy for 15+
This dumb, raunchy series should have given up the ghost.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Scary Movie 5 is the latest in the increasingly tired series of horror movie spoofs begun in 2000 by the Wayans brothers (and now continued by others). Like the others, it's filled with vulgar, rude humor and relies on slapstick, stereotypes, crude bodily jokes, and sexual innuendo for laughs. It also includes some horror violence, notably a scene of dismemberment (out of Evil Dead) that's filled with blood. There are also meant-to-be comical scenes of parents punching and smacking children (both accidentally and on purpose). Though there's no graphic nudity or sex, innuendo is very strong, and there's plenty of racy stuff. In the opening sequence, Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan make a sex tape, there's a lesbian sex scene, and a pool party sequence shows haunted pool vacuum cleaners drinking and doing drugs. Language includes one "f--k" and many uses of "s--t." Some teens may be interested, but otherwise, this series has run out of steam.
Messages: As usual, jokes are based on stereotypes, poop jokes, and bodily humor. Characters never seem to learn anything, let alone demonstrate awareness of what's going on.
Role models: Most of the characters seem pretty dumb and don't really listen to or relate to others around them. Children are treated badly and more or less ignored.
Violence: In one scene, a clueless aunt and uncle punch a couple of little girls in the face (the girls punch back). A baby's head is bashed on a door frame and is also accidentally set on fire. In a scene spoofing Evil Dead, characters saw off their limbs and slice their tongues -- it all happens off screen, though lots of blood is shown. Two characters draw and fire guns. Lots of slapstick falling, characters getting clocked in the head, and comical fighting.
Sex: Tons of sexual innuendo, imagery, and banter. Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan make a "comical" sex tape in the opening scene. There's an additional sex scene, though no graphic nudity. Dogs are shown copulating. There's a "party" of pool vacuum cleaners, and they're shown in sexual positions. Crude drawings of penises are briefly shown. A woman performs a sexy pole dance. Two women in bikinis are shown showering together, soaping each other. 50 Shades of Gray is mentioned. A "naughty nanny" is shown, along with a "crotchless" Santa Claus. A sex toy is shown. A porn website is shown (no nudity).
Language: One use of "f--k" and several uses of "s--t," plus the "N" word, "bitch," "slut," "penis," "vagina," "balls," "hell," "ass," "crap," "damn," and "oh my God."
Consumerism: Mentos are shown in one scene (a girl eats them, drinks a soda, and then shoots across the room like a rocket).
Drinking, drugs and smoking: In one scene, a bunch of "haunted" pool vacuum cleaners have a huge party and are seen "drinking" and snorting cocaine. In an early scene, Snoop Dogg and another character are shown stealing an enormous joint; they also talk about drugs. Two women take Ecstasy in a nightclub.

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – The Yale baseball team scored 27 runs and hammered 31 hits in a doubleheader sweep at the University of Hartford on Saturday, routing the Hawks by scores of 10-0 and 17-5. Meanwhile, junior left-hander Brook Hart allowed just two hits in a complete game shutout, while fellow junior southpaw Vinny Lally surrendered just two earned in the second game. Juniors Trey Rallis and Andrew Moore each had five hits in the twinbill, while Rallis, junior Andy Megee, sophomore Zach Tobolowsky and sophomore Ryan Brenner each homered on the day.
With the doubleheader sweep, Yale takes three of four at Fiondella Field in West Hartford to improve to 9-4-1. Hartford drops to 3-6.
Nine players had two or more RBI for Yale, led by four driven in by both Megee and Tobolowsky. Rallis, senior Trygg Larsson-Danforth and sophomore Matt Schmidt each knocked in three runs, while Brenner, Moore, sophomore Gant Elmore and junior Andrew Kolmar each drove in a pair. Sophomore Charlie Neil rounded out the offensive output with an RBI single. As a team, the Bulldogs had 12 extra base hits and stole three bases.
Hart (2-0) was nearly unhittable in the first game, allowing just a single in the first inning and a double in the second. The southpaw struck out eight Hawks and walked none in the seven-inning complete game and retired the final 12 batters he faced.
"Brook was outstanding," said Mazzuto Family Head Coach John Stuper. "He got ahead of batters and threw strikes with his breaking pitches as well as his fastball. He really set a tone for the day."
After Hart struck out the side in the first inning, the Bulldogs started the scoring in the second as Moore beat out an infield hit to lead off the frame. Tobolowsky then followed with his second two-run home run of the series to put Yale on top, 2-0.
Yale would post another three runs in the next inning, as Rallis led off with his second double of the game. He then moved to third on a base-hit by Brenner and came home as Tobolowsky singled him in for his third RBI of the day. The next batter was Kolmar, who smacked a two-bagger over the centerfielder's head to clear the bases and put the Bulldogs on top, 5-0.
With Hart keeping the Hawks' bats at bay, Yale extended its lead with another five-run burst in the fourth. After Megee legged out an infield single, Rallis went yard for the third time this season to run the score to 7-0. After Larsson-Danforth and Brenner drew walks, Tobolowsky came through again with a single that scored Yale's big first baseman. Kolmar would then walk to load the bases, and Schmidt followed with a base-on-balls to bring in a run. A hard-hit groundball off the bat of Elmore then resulted in an RBI infield single, running the Yale advantage to the eventual final of 10-0.
Right-hander Cory Beahm (0-2) pitched the first 2.2 innings for the Hawks, allowing eight hits and five earned runs in the loss.
Yale got out to an early lead by way of the long ball once again in the nightcap of the afternoon twinbill. After an Elmore single started the game, Megee sent his fourth home run of the season over the 400' sign in centerfield to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead. After Rallis was hit by a pitch, Larsson-Danforth added to the lead with an RBI double that scraped the top of the wall in right centerfield.
Lally kept the Hawks hitless over the first two frames, and the Elis added some extra run support in the top of the third. Rallis singled to lead off the inning and, two batters later, Brenner deposited a home run over the wall in left field for his second home run of the year to give the Bulldogs a 5-0 lead.
Hartford tacked on a trio of unearned runs in its half of the third inning, as an error extended the frame, at which point four walks and the Hawks' first base-hit of the day cut the Yale lead to two runs at 5-3.
The Bulldogs took those runs back and a lot more in their next at-bat, posting eight tallies on the scoreboard to gain a commanding 13-3 advantage. Larsson-Danforth, Schmidt and Megee each had two RBI in the inning, which saw Yale send 14 men to the plate. Rallis and Moore both ripped RBI doubles in the frame as well.
After the Hawks cut the lead to nine runs at 13-5 with two in the bottom of the fourth, Yale responded with three in the top of the fifth inning to reclaim a double-digit lead at 16-5. Moore started things off with a one-out single and moved to second when Tobolowsky was hit by a pitch. Neil then singled to drive Moore home, and Tobolowsky soon followed on a wild pitch. The third run of the frame came on a deep drive to the gap off the bat of Elmore. Andy Drexel tracked down the potential extra-base hit, but Neil tagged up and scored easily from third base.
After Lally set down the Hawks in order to end his day, Moore slapped his third hit- and second double- of the day to drive in Rallis with the Bulldogs' 17th and final run of the contest.
Senior right-hander Joe Castaldi toss two hitless innings of relief to end the contest with Yale taking a 17-5 victory. The captain of the Bulldogs issued one walk and had one strikeout.
Lally (3-0) allowed just two earned runs and three hits in five innings to earn the win but issued eight walks in his 108-pitch outing.
"Vinny struggled with his control, and that's something we need to fix before Ivy play," said Stuper. "But he battled like he always does and our hitters picked him up."
The Bulldogs will be back in action on Wednesday, traveling to Storrs, Conn. for a 3 p.m. tilt with the University of Connecticut. Opening day at Yale Field will be on Saturday, March 27, as Yale hosts the New York Institute of Technology for a noon twinbill.

Johnny Weir: I'm Gay
Johnny Weir is revealing some big news in his upcoming memoir Welcome to My World, which hits stores on Tuesday (January 11).
"In a sexual way, I'm gay, but I would marry a woman tomorrow if it struck me," the 26-year-old figure skating champ said in an excerpt to People. "I don't think sex and relationships necessarily have to go together."
"With people killing themselves and being scared into the closet, I hope that even just one person can gain strength from my story," he added.
Johnny also discusses getting called names in middle school, a secret affair he had with another male skater he only refers to as "Alex," and why he didn't come out earlier.
"A lot of the gays got downright angry about my silence. But pressure is the last thing that would make me want to 'join' a community.'" he said.
