Dear Savvy Senior,
What can you tell me about life settlements? I have a life insurance policy that I really don't need any longer and I've heard that selling it can produce a nice payout.
Interested In Selling
Dear Interested,
If you don't need your life insurance policy any longer, are having a difficult time keeping up with the premium payments or could just use the money, a life settlement is definitely an option worth considering.
How it works
What? I'm expected to be the "best parent" without a manual to learn from? When I buy anything other than groceries or clothes, there is always a manual or an instructional book provided to help learn how this thing should work, and what to do when it doesn't.
But, I'm expected to raise this "thing," or "child," to make it sound human, and be able to do it with little to no previous experience.
When you try to picture what a farmer looks like, you probably don't picture a woman. But women operate more than 30 percent of the more than 3 million farms in America — making them a large part of raising your food.
Stacey Babb's son, Alex, is 5 years old. When he was about 6 months old, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and went through surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
While the cancer seemed to be gone, her medical bills were overwhelming. She was unable to work and her husband, Tim, had to work from home to care for her and her son.
By JIM MILLER
How much? How many? What am I talking about, anyway?
Well, it's not (a) how much money is enough, or (b) how many malted-milk balls you can consume, but how many kids is enough? And, how is it that some parents are satisfied with one and others have as many as the Duggar famiIy in the very popular and enjoyable TV program, "19 And Counting"? That's right, they have 19 children and we, the viewers, do not have any idea how many there will be when they stop "counting."
Dear Savvy Senior
What happens to a person's debt after they die? At age 78, I have accumulated quite a bit of credit card and medical debt over the past few years and am concerned about leaving my son and daughter with a big bill after I die. What can you tell me?
Old and Broke
Dear Old,
In most cases when a person with debt dies, it's their estate, not their kids that's legally responsible. Here's how it works.
In addressing your own problems, try to finish these sentences as honestly as you can. Each sentence relates to what usually happens when you attempt to resolve conflict:
•When we argue, I usually...
•When we disagree and I feel I have lost, I usually...
•When we disagree and I feel I have won, I usually...
•The way our arguments usually end up for me is...

Dr. Michael Copass, "legendary" director of the ER at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center, is finally being put out to pasture.
A little background: Copass, trained in neurology, has been running the ER for thirty-some years. He has run his fiefdom with an iron fist and a cult of personality striking in large part for his antipathy towards the field of Emergency Medicine as a specialty. The University of Washington has become something of a local embarrassment, being the last of the top ten medical schools in the US (actually, the last of the top fifty!) not to have a training program in Emergency Medicine. Copass has sworn, apocraphally, that it will be over his dead body that there will be an EM program in "his" ER.
The consequence is that over the last twenty years, with regard to emergency care and training, UW has slowly slipped further and further behind other mainstream university medical centers. The political environment has been toxic, with even UW faculty members decrying the insitutional hostility towards EM. Matters came to a head a few years back when the ACGME decertified Harborview's EM training program, a move which resulted in the EM residency at Madigan pulling its residents from Harborview, citing "inadequate supervision," specifically a lack of supervision from trained Emergency Physicians. (Others have alleged that supervision at all in Harborview's ER is "nominal.") Madigan now sends its residents to Emanuel in Portland for their trauma training. Seattle, the 15th largest metro area in the US, does not have a dedicated training program in EM; most cities this size have two or three.
The University was, I think, highly embarrassed by the fiasco. Since that time, they have recruited for and hired a number of trained and certified Emergency Physicians. (Some of whom are good friends of mine.) The word on the street is that the UW is finally intent on starting a training program in EM, which would be a welcome and long overdue development. If Copass was encouraged to retire in order to remove one of the last remaining obstacles, it would be an ironic capstone on a career which has in some respects been dedicated to opposing the development of EM as a specialty.
Still, there's going to be yeoman's work to be done at Harborview. The insitutional bias against EM may run deep, and the faculty who take over the reins of the department will have their work cut out to establish control over the department and autonomy of their operations. I admire and respect those colleagues who have signed up to bring about the needed change. It's thankless work, fighting these turf battles. Most of the work to establish EM as an independent specialty was done in the '80s and '90s: it seems very weird and anachronistic to have to go back and revisit those battles. I will be cheering them on, and I look forward to a time not too far in the future when I may have the opportunity to work with UW residents, or to hire graduates from a local program.
I should stipulate here, that I have never worked at UW, did not train there, and have never met Copass. I do not doubt that he has been a dedicated physician and educator. If I have misstated his positions here, I will be only too happy to publicly apologize. However, his reputation is that of a divisive persona who has persisted in fighting one of the last bitter turf battles in the house of medicine. To the degree that is true, he will not be missed.

A Time for Change, Finally
Dr. Michael Copass, "legendary" director of the ER at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center, is finally being put out to pasture.

While I don't like to celebrate people's retirement in a negative way, this made me smile a little, being a med student who grew up in the area and wants to return home for an EM residency. I'd be interested to hear what you think about Dr. Copass's legacy with Medic One, though.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11/11/2008 9:32 AM
I trained at UW, knew Copass, and hated my time at Harboview like I have never hated another few months of my life. Copass is/was a bitter, cruel, nasty, vindictive short man and I for one will not miss having him in this community.ReplyDelete
Cheers~your kids' trusty pediatrician
I've known Dr. Copass for almost 20 years. He routinely came up to Alaska and was intimately involved in EMS up there, as well in Washington State.ReplyDelete
While I acknowledge and understand his negative aspects, for me he was a mentor and inspiration to do better.
While I respect your opinion as an Emergency Physician, Harborview is the best ER in this country for a surgeon to train in, for exactly the reason that it is run by surgery and medicine personnel, rather than EPs. I will be sad to see that change.ReplyDelete
I trained at a variety of ERs and we co-existed very well with the surgeons -- both those working the ED and those serving as consultants. There were times when we humble ER types were able to teach the surgeons some things, believe it or not.
Copass is a polarizing figure for sure. People either love or hate him -- there's no in between.
It's interesting -- Copass could have gotten ABEM certified and been a huge force for good. With a reputation like his, he would have vaulted into the ACEP leadership and contributed so much to the development to the specialty. It's not interesting; it's sad.
Before getting into medical school I worked for AMR in Seattle for a couple of years. During that time I'd often see Dr. Copass while dropping off patients at the Harborview ER. My first impression of him was a grouchy, short, vested man with a big personality, and when I noticed everyone seemed to tread softly when word spread that Copass was wandering the halls, I figured my first impression was accurate. He was somewhat infamous amongst my AMR colleagues, as well: our favorite Copass story was of the poor EMT who gave a lackluster SOAP report in earshot of Copass, who then stormed over and demanded to see his EMT certification. Upon handing him his certificate, Copass tore it to shreds in front of him and told him to get the hell out of his ER. I don't know of any EMTs that actually carry their certificate on them, so the validity of this story is iffy, but I think it reflects Dr. Copass's management style fairly well.ReplyDelete
I used to be a medical assistant at Harborview ED, and Dr. Copass will always be a role model to me for his work ethic, his devotion to Harborview and Medic One, and his constant demand for the best out of everybody.ReplyDelete
Today I am a medical student, planning to go into EM, and I have a feeling that a little bit of flexibility goes a long way as an EM doc. Flexibility is not one of Copass' strengths, unfortunately, and it's too bad that that will be what people remember about him. He did a hell of a good job in that ER.
Go for the job, Shadowfizzle.ReplyDelete
I can't help but wonder if the absence of EM docs running the show at Harborview is the very reason that Medic One has done so well. Would EM docs have allowed paramedic students to participate in the same clinical rotations? Probably not.ReplyDelete

Having completed worked EMS in Seattle and completed med school at UW, I spent much time in the HMC ED. Copass was a very compassionate physician who cared deeply for his patients and I respect him for this. As an Emergency Medicine resident, I feel the HMC ED is run very pooly and provides very poor patient care at times, largely because of the lack of appropriately trained (EM) docs. I have seen patient's wait hours for routine shoulder dislocations, I have seen HMC attendings consult gyn for vaginal discharge making them wait hours for a simple pelvic, I have seen trauma patients lay supine and aspirate their blood while someone frantically pages "anesthesia STAT to the ER" overhead multiple times while the IM attending sits there and waits helplessly, I could go on forever, but I think we all realize the deficiencies an IM attending has in a busy level I trauma center.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11/17/2008 7:17 PM
I spent many months in the HMC ED as a surgical intern. I'm now an emergency physician.ReplyDelete
Copass was dedicated to the ED and Medic One, but is/was a practicing neurologist without any EM training and entirely outdated and misguided in his concept of how to run the ED. That ED could be great, but his stubborn personality and bizarre perceptions of EM have kept it in the 1960s-70s model of ED practice. He thought it was brilliant though. I'm personally a little angry with him for squandering the EDs potential for quality patient care and training/education. The practices that he enforced were nothing short of ridiculous. Q5 min hematocrits on every trauma patient personally drawn and spun by the intern, podiatry interns running traumas, renouncing FAST for DPL- all overseen by a second year surgery resident with no attendings in site. I could go on, but this was several years ago, so it sounds like things have changed some for the better.
Despite all that, I genuinely respect Dr. Copass for his years of dedication to running a very difficult ED and his development of the superb Medic One, and wish him the best personally.
So, are they looking for future faculty? Anyone know anything? Projected time of residency startup?
- Neurologist11/24/2008 11:25 PM
I would suggest that an ER where patients are turfed to appropriate services that deal with a patient's issues is safer than an ER where "certified ER physicians" don't listen, mis-manage patients, and operate at snail pace. Harborview has a can-do attitude and is by far the most efficient ER I've worked in to date. Copass ain't perfect, but the ship is run tightly. Quit crying ER sissies.ReplyDelete
Um, yeah. How many ER's have you worked in? How many were staffed by non-ER docs? I'm willing to bet not too many. See, Harborview is the very last of a dead and dying breed. ER docs now run something like 90% of the ERs in the country. I've worked in, lemme count, nine, big and small, and all were run by EM.
And you show your ignorance as well by criticising ER docs as "slow." Seriously? Slower than internal medicine? C'mon man, there's nothing in life slower than an internist. Except maybe a neurologist.
Tell ya what, don't bother coming down to consult. I'll just call you with the MRI results.
Any updates on UW EM Residency? It'd be awesome to help start up a program at HMC. I remember volunteering at Harborview ER as a college student and thinking, "I will never do EM," because of the sheer craziness. Now, I love it.ReplyDelete
Haven't heard anything lately. Sound like an EM residency is going to happen, but the groundwork will probably take a couple of years to lay.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous8/21/2009 10:12 AM
Dr. Susan Stern is the new Division Head of Emergency Medicine at the UW. She is actively recruiting experienced academic emergency medicine physicians to start an EM residency training program based at HMC and UWMC.ReplyDelete
I've heard good things about Dr Stern, and I look forward to meeting her (and maybe working with her, within the region).ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/11/2010 6:04 AM
As a paramedic from another state, and having attempted to obtain certification in Washington, I came across the same brick wall over and over. I have been told repeatedly that "we have higher standards here" and that the training of all the other states in our great country are "inadequate". This is a direct teaching of Copass, and his dedication to himself and his pet drones.ReplyDelete
My wife is a Nurse at Harborview, and has repeatedly told me of the outrageously dangerous attitudes and treatments of Medic One Paramedics, and the disdain felt by nurses and doctors alike.
I for one say good riddance in regard to his leaving Harborview. I just wonder when we can celebrate the same for his leaving EMS. His ways of teaching for Paramedics in antiquated and unacceptable for modern medicine, and we will never come under ONE standard as long as he is around.

obviously NONE of the people that have posted on this really have had any omg can i say it "TREATMENT" from Dr. Copass...here's a little taste of the reality of how much he does care for his patients.ReplyDelete
I was assualted in 1999 by 5 (yes 5) UW frat guys. I sustained horrible blows to the back of the head, neck. and spine (yes, I said back, they were cowards).
after a couple weeks I had my first grand mal ...I don't know if that many people really understand how horrible , embarassing , awkward , socially debilitating , and depressing rhis would be for someone that worked 6 nights a week in seattles largest nightclub, had a regular dj night on the 7th night and even guest dj'd at least 3 times a month after work..as well as had 2 live bands that played fairly often..I really just wanted to disappear or worse yet die..
please really take all that in
when I met Dr. Copass after my first seizure I was 6'3" , wearing bondage pants and a painted leather jacket, while sporting bright blue hair...
his first words to me (while smiling ) "I'm a grumpy old man and i don't take any BS"..
I loked at him and just said "cool, ok."
he shook my hand and we've been friends ever since....
if anybody out there has a single bad word to say about him I doubt that they have ever REALLY had a conversation with him...his first questions to me every time I see him are not to do with my illness , it's about me , how I'm doing and what I've done to make myself better..it's not always medicine that helps , I feel it's more often the actual caring for the patient that makes a difference...
I have to say that if he is ever not my Dr. anymore .....well I really can't even express the sadness that would be felt...
at least try to understand him his methods his approach and his history....he's a slightly shorter man but he is without a doubt a giant in this current world..it disgusts me that little apathetic weasels can undermine such a wise and caring ICON of medicine and actual humanity..shame on you !! open your eyes..we all fail without people like him!!!

having worked in Harbourview ED in the early 90's and then trained fully as a board certified ER doc and then worked in a number of large and small ER's I now agree with Copass's methods of running ERReplyDelete
Morbity and Mortality is less when run by medical and surgical personal rather than the current ACEP crop of ER physicians-these are big on commentary, self-promotion but lack the skills and depth of internists and surgeons.
Copass's model should be the bench mark of all ER's and current ER docs should only be involved in sutures, minor injuries and plasters.
Long Live Copass's model
- Anonymous5/19/2013 5:33 AM
Any evidence that backs up your opinion?ReplyDelete
- neurosurgeon10/13/2013 11:16 AM
The model at Harborview is the traditional model of medical intake. The emergency medicine folks created a field for themselves and typically are not much more than triage nurses who order dilauded or supplemental oxygen. I applaud Harborview for their stance on this change, hopefully other hospitals will follow their lead.ReplyDelete

Each of these US Mint Peace Silver Dollars arrives in Almost Uncirculated Condition and contains .7734 Troy Ounces of Pure Silver! Dates will Range from 1922-1935. P, D & S Mints Included.Following the conclusion of World War I, there was groundswell of support throughout the American numismatic community for the minting of a new coin to commemorate the restoration of peace. Simultaneously, the passage of the Pittman Act of 1918 required the Treasury Department to produce millions of new silver dollars to replace the more than 270 million silver dollars that were melted and sold as bullion to the British immediately after the war. The silver dollar that was designed to accomplish both of these tasks has come to be known as the Peace Dollar.
Peace Dollars were minted from 1921 through 1928, and again from 1934 through 1935, in Philadelphia (no mintmark), San Francisco ("S" mintmark), and Denver ("D"). Each Peace Dollar is composed of .900 fine silver, yielding a total silver content of .77344 troy ounces per coin, and measures 38.1mm in diameter. To arrive at a design, the federal Commission of Fine Arts held a competition among some of the country's greatest sculptors and medalists which was won by a young Italian immigrant named Anthony de Francisci whose submission was modeled upon his wife Teresa. The obverse of the Peace Dollar depicts the strong profile of a crowned Lady Liberty, facing left, hair flowing behind her. The reverse captures an American eagle at rest upon a rocky outcropping, peering at the sun through a pattern of its rays. The eagle stands upon a rock and upon that rock is written a single word: Peace.

The appearance of OWS has been a thrilling event and incipient movement. It has already shifted the terms of debate in national and electoral politics, even as it has stimulated intense intellectual excitement among academics. How do we (and might we) understand what it is, characterize what it portends, and engage it? My goal here is to wonder out loud about the relationship between this movement or event, and the inherited (or even recently minted) categories we use to interpret it, and so also about how we relate thought and action.

TRENTON, N.J. — The bodies of a woman and her 13-year-old son were found after a dayslong standoff, and her boyfriend was killed as officers stormed the home to rescue three other children he had been holding captive, authorities said Sunday.
Police officers went to the South Trenton home Friday afternoon after reports that some of the children hadn't been to school in 12 days, authorities said at a Sunday news conference. Officers entered the home through a rear door and smelled an odor consistent with that of a decomposing body, authorities said.
They found 38-year-old Gerald Tyrone Murphy in an upstairs bedroom, and he told them he was armed with a gun and explosives and had three children with him, authorities said. Officers retreated from the second floor and rescued a 19-year-old man from the basement, who said he hadn't seen his mother or siblings since about April 24.
Homes on the surrounding block were evacuated as a precaution, and police tape cordoned off the street in front of the house. A SWAT team was called, and an arson bomb unit was also on the scene. Police said Murphy could be seen from a window holding a black handgun.
The standoff ended at about 3:45 a.m. Sunday, 37 hours after it began, when officers stormed the house and shot Murphy because he was threatening one of the children, authorities said. Murphy was taken into custody and later died of his injuries.
Authorities found the bodies of 44-year-old Carmelita Stevens and her teenage son in separate bedrooms. The woman's body was in an advanced state of decomposition, and police said she appeared to have died two weeks ago.
Three of her children — an 18-year-old woman, a 16-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy — were rescued and taken to a medical center for evaluation and treatment.
Murphy and Stevens had been dating for a few months, police said. He was not the father of any of her children.
Police said Murphy was a registered sex offender with a long criminal history including convictions for aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy. He had previously been arrested for robbery and weapons offenses and child endangerment. He also had an arrest warrant in Pennsylvania for failing to register as a sex offender.

NEWPORT BEACH — Dustin Bushnell has played his guitar and sang with "The Dirty Heads," on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and in front of large crowds. But that doesn't compare to the pressure Bushnell admits to feeling when he participated in the inaugural Toshiba Classic Skills Challenge Tuesday morning at Newport Beach Country Club.
Celebrities and Champions Tour pros came together to raise money for the Mary and Dick Allen Diabetes Center. They competed for fun, but the small crowd and participants quieted for each shot on the 10th hole, causing Bushnell to become nervous.
"I'd rather get on stage in front of a million people by myself than do that again," said Bushnell, who teamed with pro Esteban Toledo, sports radio/TV personality Matt "Money" Smith and Patrick Nani, the vice president of sales for Toshiba.
They played against three other teams of four that featured Matt Leinart, Steve Finley and Garret Anderson, as well as John Cook, Fuzzy Zoeller and Gary McCord.
"It was amazing," said Bushnell, who is a member of the band that is based in Huntington Beach. "Just to be able to play out here in the scenery and to be able to play out here with the professionals it was a great experience. But I will say I don't think I ever been more nervous for any thing in my life."
Bushnell came within an inch of giving his team a win. It was the final shot in the Skills Challenge, a chip on to the 10th green. Bushnell needed to get within three feet of the hole.
Instead Cook, who owns a home in Corona del Mar, along with Finley, John Howard, a San Diego television reporter, and Toshiba Classic tournament director Jeff Purser won, 23-22. The winning team earned a $50,0000 check for charity.
Purser said, the Skills Challenge was a fun event to replace the Shot from the Top, which was a competition that took place atop the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa.
"It was our first time, so you never know how something like that is going to go," Purser said. "But we were pretty darned pleased with it. It was a lot of fun. I think the guys had a lot of fun with it. We were testing it out trying to get a signature event this year. I think we want to make it a little better and bigger."
Leinart, the former USC star quarterback out of Mater Dei, said he enjoyed himself even though he had other things occupying his mind. NFL free agency began Tuesday and Leinart is hoping a team will come calling for him.
"This was just a great event," he said. "It was awesome to be a part of. Really cool."
Leinart got a kick out of meeting Zoeller, who provided several laughs during the event. Zoeller connected with Bushnell, giving The Dirty Heads band member fashion tips, that included helping Bushnell with his belt because he had missed a loop.
"He hit some good shots after that," Zoeller said. "I thought [the event] was very interesting. I think it will catch on."

Indic Typing Booster
Indic Typing Booster is a predictive input method for ibus and scim. It suggests complete words based on partial input, which can then simply be selected from a list, and boost one's typing speed for more enjoyable input.
- Name: Pravin Satpute, Naveen Kumar
- Email: psatpute AT redhat DOT com, nkumar AT redhat DOT com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 15
- Last updated: 2011-02-01
- Percentage of completion: 20%
Detailed Description
This is an input method engine using scim-tables or ibus-table to look words in a dictionary table. More information about project can be found at https://fedorahosted.org/indic-typing-booster/
Indic Typing Booster supports currently widely used maps, so the user does not need to switch his existing input maps, like inscirpt, itrans, typewriter. So with this new input method he can type the same way as he did with his older IME's but with prediction.
The mission of this project is to provide user friendly predictive text entry for Indic language users.
Benefit to Fedora
Users can create content in their native language with enhanced speed, accuracy and ease.
After pressing a few characters the user can get the expected word in the candidate list and quickly select that.
Example: Entering the word 'भारतीय' with itrans keyboard normally requires 9 keys presses: 'bhaaratiiy'. With Indic Typing Booster it will only require 6 key presses, after inputting "bhaar" user can get 'भारतीय' in suggestion box, and then just need to press corresponding number key and done.
Since the suggestions come from a validated word dictionary database, the selected words always give 100% accurate spelling. Note: correctly the present generated database is from unreviewed web data, in the long term with community help, they can be reviewed and the correctness checked as per standard. Also infrequent words which may be mis-spellings can be filtered easily from the dictionaries.
Indic scripts are complex since the order of rendering may differ from input order. It has reordering (eg क + ि -> कि ), feature conjunct (eg क + ् + ष -> क्ष), as well as split matras. Often new users are not familiar with these subtleties leading to incorrect or invalid text entry. Indic Typing Booster relaxes this as the user need to enter the complete word.
Adding New Words: One can add new words in to the IME's database, and they will also appear in the suggestion box.
This is easy with scim-tables: type phrase/word and then hit "Ctrl + =", then just enter a corresponding input key, and done.
1) Create dictionary tables from wikipedia dumps for Marathi, Hindi, and Malayalam. More languages will follow later.
2) Fix ibus-table to work well for input with Typing Booster tables.
3) Test with scim-tables and ibus-table.
How To Test
Still not initiated New Package Request
User Experience
1) predictions for entered word. 2) easiness for typing complex words. 3) improved typing speed. 4) Many time native user type language words using latin script (transliteration) so with this IME i think they will type words in there own script.
This feature requires some improvements to be made to ibus-table.
It is already working well with scim-tables.
Contingency Plan
As these are new input methods, no contingency plans necessary.
Release Notes
Indic Typing Booster input methods provide new completing input for Indic languages.

FSF Petition against Secure Boot
If you disagree with Secure Boot consider signing the petition....
Will your computer's "Secure Boot" turn out to be "Restricted Boot"?

that petition is old. Plus Microsoft wouldn't really listen to the minority (and that minority is the Linux User). MS can really do what ever they want as long as they have multiple governments on their side.
EDIT: Also Secure Boot is disable-able

Microsoft have been very cagey about how they implement "secure boot". If a PC vendor wishes to carry the windows 8 logo then they must implement secure boot. Now, this, as I understand, is firmware that replaces the traditional BIOS, much like macs do it. The problem then becomes different for every different PC
It's a complex problem with more than one answer.

I also signed that petition.
But what got my attention afterward was an email supposedly from FSF requesting money to support their efforts to fight secure boot.

From the tone of the website, this secure boot thing seems to be targetted towards females only?
"This could be a feature deserving of the name, as long as the user is able to authorize the programs she wants to use, so she can run free software written and modified by herself or people she trusts".

Its because there is no gender neutral way to refer to a single person in the English language. This has been covered in another murga topic. You either have to use male or female orientation or the clunky s/he his/her. Sometimes those conscious of the default male orientation use the female one for a change.

I signed the petition, knowing it won't do anything. Resistance is resistance, however futile.
If this Secure Boot garbage takes over, I'll just cobble computers together with old parts, until they make it illegal to have old parts under the heading of "national security" or "cybersecurity" or some other BS.
Hm. Secure Boot, SB. Bull****, BS.
I think I just noticed something.
Also, isn't it amazing how the human need for safety and one's internal fear mechanisms (rather a linked pair) are so strong that any perceived threat, however real or fake, has to be addressed almost immediately? Combine that with peoples' current DRASTIC lack of understanding about computers and you get a pile of sheep that will follow the fear-mongers wherever they go... just on the off chance that these fear-mongers are right (which they almost never are).
The world is mad.

The wording in that article says:
When done correctly, "Secure Boot" is designed to protect against malware by preventing computers from loading unauthorized binary programs when booting.
I think an easier way than forcing the user to have a locked up BIOS would be for Microsoft to release their OS on a CD.
That way they could guarantee it would load an "un-tampered" OS into memory.
Of course, the OS code would have to be secure first.... Slight problem for Microsoft.
So by locking down the BIOS what they want to achieve is a secure way to load an insecure operating system. Marvellous. I guess then we will have to tick the box that says "check to allow Microsoft (trusted corporation) to update your secure BIOS every time I connect to the internet"
"Please wait while the computer applies 46 security updates to your BIOS. Do not shut down or power off until all updates are applied..."
Maybe I could support this technology when Microsoft announces that they have issued their last security patch and the OS is now secure.
Not holding my breath.

if one is careful, they can certainly find a gender neutral method to convey information

They do not want to understand. They want computers to be an appliance. My sister decided not to use dropbox to share family photos because she did not want to take the time to learn how to do it.

That, to me, is any number of things --
- it is
; they are choosing the 'easy' path, rather than the smart path -- it's really not easier, and it fails to enrich the mind in the process.
- it is
; they could save a lot of people a lot of trouble if they did learn -- even if they could not do repairs themselves, they'd at least save the techs a lot of trouble doing diagnostics if they knew what they were talking about.
- it is
; most people don't have a friendly nerd like me -- so they pay others to do what they themselves will not. Yes, it is easier, in the narrow sense that they didn't have to diagnose and fix it themselves -- but is it worth the expense that most people pay at eg Best Buy to get a "quick fix" for their computer? (eg removing a virus by wiping the hard drive and hoping the user has good backups) My answer is "**** NO!"
- it is
. Why do they expect someone else to do what they will not themselves do? I realize that there's an element of that to everyone (I myself will eat cooked meat, but I am quite squeamish around the raw stuff and would never want to work in a meatpacking plant), but this is a little more extreme to me. Maybe this one's just me. Not sure.
I would have no problems with this attitude to a limited extent -- someone who was content to be able to dust their desktop's innards twice a year (double that if they have pets) and do very simple hardware repairs (eg adding a data-only hard drive or replacing optical drives or RAM). I really don't expect more than that of the average Tom or Jane. But they should know at least that.
Further, I feel that this all is a cultural trend -- we as a culture, if not as collective humanity, want things to be easier than they are. Our idea of "a better world" is still one in which there are servants for everyone. It's just that those servants are technological instead of biological -- and we like to think that we're not creating new moral issues with that idea -- when, in fact, they're flooding in and we're just refusing to deal with them now.

Your Celeb-Inspired Style Guide To Wearing Baggy Leather Jeans Now
Slim leather leggings will always be a mainstay in cool girls' stylish wardrobes, but this season, it's all about another runway favourite—the baggy leather trouser. These low-slung, slouchy pants are more menswear-chic than their skinny rock 'n' roll counterparts and are becoming increasingly popular among fashion insiders and well-dressed celebs alike. We find them completely desirable too, as they offer the perfect blend of androgyny and understated sex appeal. For tips on how to wear this spring essential and to shop the season's best styles, don't miss today's Trend Report.
On The Runways
At Balmain, designer Olivier Rousteing showed his version of the baggy leather trouser—a high-waisted pant with front-pleat details and a cuffed hem—which perfectly embodied the collection's Miami-in-the-'80s theme. Paired here with the Yellow Short-Sleeved Cropped Top Embroidered with Raffia and Crystal ($34800), the Wide Leather High Waisted Trousers ($5400) result in a subversive version of the power suit.
WHO: Street Style
WHAT: As seen on Stockholm Street Style
WEAR: patchwork chambray shirt; leather trousers.
WHY: Leather trousers that cuff right above the ankle are a flattering choice and perfect for showcasing a chic pair of heels.
WHO: Rihanna
WHAT: Catching a flight at LAX a couple of weeks ago.
WEAR: Mechanical Dummy Limited Edition Love Not Hate Jacket ($300); We Are Massiv No Mental Slavery T-Shirt ($28); Joseph leather trousers (click here for similar styles); Adidas sneakers.
WHY: For a sporty take on the trend, pick leather trousers that are loose throughout the leg and style them with a varsity jacket and sneakers.
WHO: Gwen Stefani
WHAT: Playing at a park in Los Angeles early last month.
WEAR: Paige Lenny Zip Jacket ($229) in Owen; Bleulab jeans from the F/W 13 collection; DITA Savoy Sunglasses ($295).
WHY: Baggy, coated leather jeans play up the street vibe of a denim jacket and wedge sneakers.
WHO: Joanna Hillman
WHAT: At a Harper's Bazaar dinner in New York.
WEAR: The Row blazer; Vince Relaxed Leather Pants ($805) and top; Alexander Wang heels.
WHY: Contrast the baggy fit of leather trousers with a tailored jacket to create a sophisticated work-to-cocktails look.
WHO: Brooklyn Decker
WHAT: Visiting FOX and Friends in New York City last month.
WEAR: Marissa Webb Genevieve Blazer ($795); Tribune Standard top and drawstring leather pants; Jean-Michel Cazabat pumps.
WHY: Cropped, drawstring leather trousers add an air of casualness to polished pieces, like a blazer and silk blouse.
Get The Look
If you're ready to give baggy leather trousers a shot this season, it's important to find the right fit and level of bagginess that works for you. Styles with an elastic waistband that cuff at the ankle, like Vince's Leather Pants ($1150) and J Brand's Blair Leather Pants ($1095), are relatively casual, but an easy-to-wear choice for most body types. Cropped versions, such as Helmut Lang's Cropped Trouser ($906), Alexander Wang's Cropped Leather Combo Pants ($850), and Theory's Kina Leather Pants ($1115), are perhaps the most versatile options too because they're sophisticated enough for your nine-to-five wardrobe. If you're in the market for something slouchier throughout the leg a la Rihanna, check out May Kool's Loose PU Leather Pants ($50) or ASOS Black by Markus Lupfer's Leather Peg Pants ($168), both of which will help you achieve that on-point, athletic-inspired look.

SHELBURNE, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 28, 2013) - Black Bull Resources Inc. (NEX:BBS.H) released the Audited Financial Statements and Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) for the year ended September 30, 2012.
The Company reports a net income for the year of $26,907 (net loss of $368,396 in 2011) or $0.00, per share ($0.00 in 2011). The loss would have been $226,957 except for an adjustment to reclamation obligation. There was no mineral revenue of $35 ($159,065 in 2011) as the Company is in care and maintenance. The Company recorded $228,756 ($82,243 in 2011) in non-cash operating expenses resulting in a net cash loss from operations of $205,851 ($305,117 in 2011) or $0.00 per share ($0.00 in 2011).
During the fourth quarter, the Company reports a net income of $175,354 (net loss of $82,561 in 2011) or $0.00 per share ($0.00 in 2011). The Company recorded -$242,476 ($22,362 in 2011) in non-cash operating items resulting in a net cash loss from operations of $67,127 ($60,199 in 2011) or $0.00 per share ($0.00 in 2011).
On May 10, 2012 the company held its Annual General Meeting. At that time Richard J. Shearer, James Gogan, Joseph MacDonald and David Wood were elected to the Board. In addition, the shareholders authorized an amendment to Articles of Incorporation to consolidate all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Corporation on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share for up to every thirty (30) pre-consolidation shares. Such a consolidation will be initiated as part of implementing a strategic option.
In 2012, as per the resolution of the AGM the Board changed auditors to MacKay LLP. We are very pleased with the work they have done, which includes moving us from GAAP to IFRS. This has been accomplished at a substantially lower cost.
On December 3, 2012 the Company announced that effective November 30, 2012; the Company's listing on the TSX Venture Exchange has been transferred to NEX. The Company's tier classification has changed from Tier 2 to NEX because the Company did not meet the requirements for a Tier 2 listing on the Exchange. As a result, the Company's trading symbol has changed to BBS.H.
"The focus continues to be to reduce cash burn," says Joseph MacDonald President and CEO, "While the Company's future is uncertain with a reduced cash burn the Company can continue to seek longer-term strategic options for its resources."

MARQUETTE, Mich. — The Northern Michigan University Olympic Training Site wrestlers defeated the All-Navy team nine matches to three Tuesday, Feb. 25 at Westwood High School. The dual event that featured Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling.
Winning matches for the NMU-OTS in Greco-Roman were Brandon Rice of Washington, Ill., at 66 kilograms; Trasher Porcher of Chuluota, Fla., at 66 kg.; Nick Alvarez of Miami, Fla., at 71 kg.; Josh Greer of Birmingham, Ala., at 80 kg.; Lee Wildes of Oviedo, Fla., at 85 kg.; and Khymba Johnson of Sacramento, Calif., at 98 kg.
Winning matches for the OTS in Freestyle competition were Sammy Jones of Folsom, La., at 61 kg.; Rice at 70 kg.; and Sergio Guerrero of Rubidoux, Calif. at 74 kg.
The All-Navy team, which only wrestles part-time on top of its military duty, came to Marquette to train with the OTS athletes for several weeks in preparation for the Armed Forces Championships in mid-March.
OTS wrestlers only train for Greco-Roman competition but agreed to incorporate Freestyle into the event because the All-Navy team will wrestle both styles at the Armed Forces Championship.

Welcome to the stock market live blog. Stock losses are deepening 20 minutes after the session. Is this thanks to comments from St. Louis Fed President Bullard?
Dow is off 101 points.

Here's what Bullard is saying:
Sees the first rate hike at the end of the first quarter. That's in contrast to what the fed funds futures market has been saying. Those bets point to a mid-2015 hike.

- Inflation heats up
- by Laura Mandaro
- Add a Comment
Stock index futures didn't respond much to the morning economic reports. But on the subject of rate hikes, we should note that the Fed's favorite inflation indicator — the core PCE inflation index — rose to 1.5% in May from the year ago month, the highest since February 2013. That sent bond yields lower ahead of the Bullard comments.

We're keeping our eyes out for the start of trading for GoPro Inc. /quotes/zigman/34007695/delayed /quotes/nls/gpro GPRO , the company that makes wearable sports cameras. The shares priced Wednesday night at $24 apiece, the high end of earlier expectations. The company raised $427 million, which could increase if underwriters decide to buy additional shares.
In the meantime, Asheesh Advani writes about the offering:
"The valuation is high and the risks are palpable. The $24 per share pricingvalues GoPro at about $3 billion, with a higher price-to-earnings ratio than Apple. Clearly this valuation is not purely based on the business prospects of selling its durable cameras, as most consumer-electronics products become commoditized fairly quickly. The real investor appetite for GoPro is based on the potential to monetize the sharing of all the mind-bending videos filmed by its customers."

- Melting up?
- by Ben Eisen
- Add a Comment
Here are Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategists, led by Michael Hartnett, who are continuing to hammer at the theme that we will get a summer melt-up in stocks until the fat lady sings in the fall. From their equities research note:
"The 2014 risk asset rally started back in February and is incomplete; wait for lower cash levels, lower corporate bond prices and a breach of the magic "8″ figure by our Bull & Bear index before buying vol toward the end of summer."
We've touched on that theory before. Read more here.

- "QE tapering is a rate hike"
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors, said that QE tapering is essentially a rate hike already.
"The fact that we are approaching the targets on inflation and unemployment at a moment when the economy is not particularly healthy, is a source of anxiety for a lot of investors.
Even as the Fed says the rates will stay low, the tapering is essentially a rate hike."

BlackRock Inc. has its mid-year update event on Thursday. Here's what their team of strategists forecasts for the next six months in stocks:
"Stocks have outperformed bonds so far, and are on a pace that suggests returns could end the year in the mid to upper single digits. Not a great year, in other words, but a decent one. Despite the rally in bonds and corresponding sharp drop in interest rates, we maintain our early year outlook: We still expect rates to trend up, if only modestly. Our core view of the economy also stands: improving, but still below-trend growth. And one development we're watching closely: tentative signs of a pickup in U.S. inflation."

- Beating ETFs with Arends
- by Ben Eisen
- Add a Comment
MarketWatch's Brett Arends has a Thursday column about how to beat exchange-traded funds by improving on the formula with a little elbow grease. He mentions five specific strategies, which you can read more about here. He's also got a bone to pick with the growing ETF industry:
"Most ETFs, when you think about it, are built on a contradiction. They tell you to spread your bets across the entire market, but then they pour a disproportionate share of their money into the few stocks with the highest values — Apple and Google and Exxon and so on. They tell you that all stocks offer the same risk-adjusted prospective returns, and then put more money in the most popular stocks than they do in the bottom 100.
"This 'capitalization-weighted' indexing makes sense for only one reason: It serves the interests of the money management companies, because it is easily scalable and easily manageable."

Barclays PLC /quotes/zigman/152323/delayed /quotes/nls/bcs BCS shares fell 6.5% in trading the day after the New York Attorney General accused the bank of favoring high-frequency traders over regular investors.
Eric Schneiderman filed civil charges on Wednesday against Barclays, alleging the bank misrepresented the number of high-frequency traders in its private-trading platform, known as a dark pool.
The Attorney General also accused the British bank of not protecting investors from predatory trading behavior.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has opted to list on the New York Stock Exchange, according to a Bloomberg report that cited a person familiar with the matter. The decision by the Chinese internet giant to list with NYSE is a blow to the Nasdaq, traditionally a haven for tech companies, revealing that confidence in the exchange may still be recovering from the Facebook's botched IPO in May 2012. Alibaba filed for the IPO in May. There is speculation that the IPO could be the largest in U.S. history and that it could happen as soon as August.

Uruguay's Luiz Suarez will be paying a steep price for biting Italian player Giorgio Chiellini during Tuesday's match.

The suspension means Suarez will not be able to play in Uruguay's round of 16 match with Colombia on Saturday, hurting his team's chances of progressing further.
As of yet, there is no word on whether his sponsors, among them soon-to-be-an-Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL company Beats, will drop him.

Volatility on the S&P 500, as measured by the CBOE Vix index remains below 12 and has been in the doldrums for a while.
Vic Reklaitis writes about the 'father of the Vix' who tells us not to worry about it.
"I wouldn't be worried about it," said Robert E. Whaley, a professor at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management known for developing the VIX for the Chicago Board Options Exchange in 1993.
He said the VIX's low levels show people are comfortable that nothing serious will happen in the next 30 days.
But what about fears that there's too much complacency?
"There are too many people out there that want to make money," Whaley said, speaking on the sidelines of ETF.com's Global Macro ETF Strategist Conference in New York. "I assure you that there's no complacency."

- 6 reasons stocks keep grinding out new highs
- by William Watts
- Add a Comment
David Kotok of Cumberland Advisors says rising geopolitical risk prompted him to raise cash reserves in the second half of June but that stocks still appear attractive on a relative basis. He offers a list of 6 reasons why stocks have ground out record high after record high in the second quarter:
1. The short-term interest rate remains close to zero.
2. Long-term government bond rates fell when they were expected to rise worldwide.
3. Reports of worldwide inflation continued at very low levels in most jurisdictions. In Europe, the inflation rate is now recorded at 0.50%.
4. Central bank policies continue to be expansive. Even though the Federal Reserve (Fed) is tapering, it is still expanding excess reserves and acquiring assets onto its balance sheet.
5. The federal deficit continues to shrink. It has gone from a run rate of $1.4 trillion at its peak to an annualized run rate of $400 billion, and the number if falling.
6. The growing U.S. energy self-sufficiency is evolving and is resulting in shrinking trade and current account deficits. We do not import as much oil and energy as we used to. We produce much more. The trends continue in that direction. That means that dollars do not flow abroad; therefore, those dollars do not have to be attracted back to the U.S. by higher interest rates or other investment returns.

Tate, an average ordinary guy, realizes that he has the potential to be the sidekick of his town's hero aptly named Hero. When Hero tells him he isn't good enough to work with him, Tate takes matters into his own hands.

L.A. Neo Noir Film Fest Award Winner for Best Screenplay. CAN YOU SEE ME rocks!
There once was hero who wasn't a hero. Tall he was not nor brave nor strong. He only had one arm, and his life meant almost nothing at all. Then one day war came to his kingdom, and in the ruins of the day he was made to seem a hero. Thus a new journey began for him.
What is a hero? Throughout time and across many cultures, various incarnations of the hero myth have thrived.ćIn the Western United States, one hero has stood out as the greatest and most distinctly American folklore hero--the Cowboy.

Spikes of Wichita, Kansas, an attorney admitted to the practice of law in the state of Kansas, voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law in Kansas, pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 217 (2004 Kan.

Annot. 485) of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct.
This court, having examined the files of the office of the Disciplinary Administrator, finds that the surrender of the respondent's license should be accepted and that the respondent should be disbarred.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Larry B. Spikes be and is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in Kansas and his license and privilege to practice law are hereby revoked.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Appellate Courts strike the name of Larry B. Spikes from the roll of attorneys licensed to practice law in Kansas.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this order shall be published in the Kansas Reports, that the costs herein shall be assessed to the respondent, and that the respondent forthwith shall comply with Supreme Court Rule 218 (2004 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 301).

Even if the person isn't in IT or doesn't use SQL Server – I'd like to get in contact with them. Because they likely know someone that is in IT or may happen to use SQL Server. Heck, you can even introduce me to a recruiter in the area (though, I might try to turn them into a sponsor) – because I am sure they know other people in the area.
Every connection that Jes Schultz Borland (Blog | @grrl_geek), Ted Krueger (Blog | @Onpnt), Sarah Strate (Blog | @DanceM0m), or myself can get in the area is another potential attendee for the SQL Saturday coming up in Fargo in April. And frankly, we don't know a lot of people up there. It's the winter… it's cold and we don't get out much. Seriously… there are days that it is 6 degrees.

Samsung NX20 First Look Preview
Samsung's flagship NX20 Smart Camera looks a lot like a small entry-level digital SLR, but it is actually a mirrorless interchangeable lens compact camera. The NX20 will appeal to consumers because it offers the enhanced creative capabilities and expanded versatility similar to that of a DSLR. It provides photographers an affordable entry to the world of interchangeable lenses and, in addition, retains all the familiar convenience, popular features, and ease-of-use of a point and shoot camera. Samsung took that simple equation one step further by building the NX20 a bit larger than most of its competition to create a more professional looking (and handling) camera. The NX20 replaces the popular NX10, in the top Korean camera-makers line-up.
Digital camera manufacturers introduce new models with almost mind numbing regularity, but the Samsung NX20 isn't just another pretty face in the camera crowd. The NX20 features a 23.5mm x 15.7mm (APS-C sized) 20.3 megapixel CMOS sensor that Samsung claims, "…produces images that rival those of any premium DSLR." The NX20 also provides Full HD (1080p @ 30 fps) video output, an 8 fps burst mode, and Instant Image/Video Sharing via Wi-Fi. The most obvious differences between the NX20 and its predecessor are an articulated LCD monitor – the NX10 had a fixed screen. The new 3.0-inch AMOLED LCD (614K) articulated (tilt-swivel) monitor couples very nicely with the NX20's (800×600 pixels SVGA) eye-level electronic viewfinder (EVF) which automatically turns off the LCD when the camera detects the users eye at the EVF. Eagle-eyed users might notice that the NX20's handgrip has been redesigned – it is now a bit larger and that contributes to more secure handling and better balance. A new electronic first-curtain shutter allows for a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second. Also included is a reduced shutter lag (40 milliseconds) and the ability to save up to three personalized custom shooting setups via the Custom Mode. There's an electronic spirit level, which when used in conjunction with the NX20's customizable grid display, makes correct framing a breeze. Finally, an expanded "Fn" menu is available; this is the most comprehensive and graphic function menu I've seen to date.
Menus are comprehensive and necessarily a bit complex, but the layout is logical, navigation is effortless, and the fonts are easy to read. The user interface is traditional SLR/DSLR style and all controls are logically placed. They should come easy to navigate for right-handed shooters. The NX20 was designed for advanced amateurs, photography enthusiasts, and part-time pros. The NX20 saves images in JPG or RAW formats. Samsung currently offers three camera options in the NX line, but lens options are a bit slim. Presently, this lineup consists of 3 zooms (18-55, 20-50, and 50-200) plus three pancake primes (16mm, 20mm, and 30mm) and a 60mm f/2.8 macro lens – however many lenses from other manufacturers (via adapters) can also be used.
I've only had the NX20 for a few days, but so far I'm impressed. My only complaint, to date, is that the cover of the battery/media storage compartment is hinged on the wrong side, making it slightly awkward to remove or insert the SD card. Image quality is first rate and the Samsung 18-55 kit zoom is noticeably better than similar kit zooms from other manufacturers. Colors are dependably accurate and saturation is more neutral than most of the NX20's competition. So while this camera offers many popular features used in point and shoot cameras, images generated by the NX20 are better quality than those created by that type of camera. The NX20 will do a great job for advanced amateur shooters, photography enthusiasts, and part-time pro users. Beginners, amateur shutterbugs, family photographers, and casual image makers will probably find the smaller, cheaper, less complex, and similarly featured NX200 or NX1000 models more appealing. I'll cover the NX20 more thoroughly in my upcoming full review.

13-Year-Old At Pool Party Is Told She Looks Pregnant And Realizes She Is
By June Rivers
November 14, 2017
Kennedy Griest was a popular 13-year-old, gearing up for her freshman year of high school in Michigan. During the summer, she attended a pool party where one of her classmates snapped a photo of her.
When the photo was posted online, Kennedy's classmates commented on the fact that she looked pregnant in her bathing suit.
"Oh my God, look. Kennedy's pregnant," they wrote.
People started asking if the rumors were true, but Kennedy said there was no way that was possible. But she and her boyfriend had been dating for over a year — and they started having protected sex when they were 13.
Kennedy realized she'd might have missed some telltale symptoms of pregnancy: the missed periods, the emotional highs and lows — she and her mom just attributed it all to puberty.
But then, she took a pregnancy test… and then two more. As it turned out, the speculation was correct. Kennedy was pregnant at the age of 13.
Word spread around town, and Kennedy was bullied and called cruel names. It was hurtful and humiliating, especially since she says many of her friends were sexually active, too.
Her mom, Wendy, was shocked to learn her daughter was pregnant and had not once suspected her youngest child was having sex. Wendy finally realized she hadn't been asking the right questions.
Wendy also knew Kennedy was young and immature.
"How in the world is she going to be able to take care of a baby?!" she asked herself.
Several people suggested the teen abort the baby, but Kennedy refused. She did, however, contemplate adoption.
In October 2014, at the age of 14, Kennedy gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
What happened next will leave you surprised, inspired, and even hopeful… because Kennedy was determined to beat the odds stacked against her.

… well kind of.
Twenty eleven is growing steadily, though it seems like slow going. I'm not entirely sure why, maybe knitting all that black wool? going up a size to compensate for a smaller gauge? In any case, it's one of those projects where I know I must be making progress — it's getting bigger — and yet … there still seems to be a long way to go.
Pretty much like the studying.
Yesterday, I got through both the 19th century *and* the waist shaping, so I shouldn't complain. Goodbye naturalism, hello fitted cardigan!
I won't lie, I spent a lot of time standing at the mirror wondering, is that really the narrowest point of my waist? how exactly does one locate the top of the hip? how long should it be?
Many questions. In the end, it seems like I came close enough.
Today, I'm tackling the 20th century, epistolarity, and hopefully (finally) getting to the armholes. A big day.
