Apple Safari Browser renders web pages at lightning speed, believed to be the fastest web browser in the market. It delivers never-before-seen features that make browsing more fun. And it works on the Mac, PC, iPhone, and iPod touch. Meet Safari, the world's most innovative browser, some of the new features are:
- Support for the next generation HTML 5 media tags, CSS animation, and CSS effects.
- Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
- The first browser to support International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles
- CSS 3 web fonts
Safari is designed to emphasize the browsing, not the browser. The browser frame is a single pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when needed. By default, there's no status bar. Instead, a progress indicator turns as your page loads. You'll find tabs at the very top of the browser, opening an even wider window for viewing websites. A great browser, Safari lets you simply enjoy the web — whether you're exploring it from a Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPod touch. Download Apple Safari 4 web browser for Mac and Windows Xp / Vista!
Internet Explorer, Firefox vs Safari Comparison
One of the biggest differences between Firefox and IE against Safari is the font rendering engine, as critics pointed out earlier, it is unlike for Safari to gain any new converts from Firefox and IE due to their way Safari handles font rendering. The way Apple does fonts is very different from the way Microsoft does fonts, and there seems to be little to no common ground.
Apple begins a design cautious company tries to keep the design of the typeface as close to the actual look, thus explains the blurring. Whereas Microsoft trims the typeface to fit with the pixel on the LCD monitor, thus explain the sharper look.
Browser Test and Comparison
Chrome 27 vs. Firefox 22 vs. Internet Explorer 11 vs. Opera 15 vs. Safari 5 for which is the best and fastest browser for both Mac and windows.

Qualcomm partners with Burger King on payments pilot for iOS, Android
Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is teaming with fast food chain Burger King for BK Mobile Crown Card, a pilot program enabling consumers to pay for their meal by scanning a QR code with their Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone or Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android smartphone.
Qualcomm's wholly owned Firethorn Mobile m-commerce subsidiary is rolling out the Mobile Crown Card pilot across roughly 50 Burger King locations in and around Salt Lake City, Utah. Participating restaurants will place QR tags on their counters and drive-up windows; consumers who download the free BK Mobile Crown Card application from Apple's App Store or Google Play scan the code to bill their purchases to the credit or debit card account linked to the app, which leverages payment processor First Data Universal Commerce's prepaid technology.
"This unique solution works on any Android or iOS phone and does not require new hardware investments in order to deliver this experience to restaurant guests," said Firethorn Mobile President Rocco Fabiano.
Burger King operates in more than 12,500 locations across in 82 countries and territories, serving 11 million guests each day. Approximately 90 percent of Burger King restaurants are owned and operated by independent franchisees.
Experts believe that mobile payment offerings like BK Mobile Crown Card could eliminate the need for consumers to carry cash and credit cards by the year 2020, according to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project. Sixty-five percent of technology experts surveyed agree that within the next eight years, most consumers will fully trust and embrace smart devices and mobile wallet services to fund digital and in-store purchases, with cash and credit cards essentially disappearing in advanced nations.

Video shows blast, which Gaza sources say was result of IDF's Sunday airstrike on Gaza, in retaliation for rocket fire on Israel's south
Elior Levy
Published: 01.19.14, 22:35 / Israel News
Elior Levy
Gaza media released a video which they claim presents Sunday's IDF
airstrike in Gaza.
Related stories:
Official Palestinian sources identified the two as a 22-year-old who was seriously wounded, and a 12-year-old boy who sustained moderate injuries. A Gaza emergency services spokesperson told AFP that the boy had been standing nearby when Israel
fired on the the motorbike driven by the terrorist. He had suffered head injuries as a result, he said.
The IDF
named the 22-year-old as Ahmad Saad, and said he was directly involved in firing rockets at Israeli civilian populations last week. He also played a large role in fighting the IDF during Operation Pillar of Defense
in November 2012, and in the escalation of rockets fired at Israel in March 2012, the IDF Spokesperson said.
The strike comes after the IAF attacked two terror hubs in the center of Gaza Strip overnight Saturday, which came after rockets were launched at Israel from Gaza on Saturday night. The IDF said that all the Air Force strikes were direct hits on the intended targets.
The rockets fired at Israel landed in an open area between two communities in Sha'ar Hanegev; no injuries were reported. The rocket fire was the third such attack in one week.

It was a very educational course. Definitely helped me better understand how to progress my clients better.
Very inspiring teacher. Thank you!
More content for the visual learner.
thank u
More practice with the IFT the better!
very good course
Training was straight forward and easy to follow. Good training for a refresher course.
Appreciated the integration of stability & mobility in FM & RT. Information given and explained very well.
Perfect for a starting trainer
This is a great refresher course - and considering it is free and you get CEC for it - why not take it?
A great introductory model for anyone with or without experience in training!
was very helpful for me to put it all together
Very informative course.
Very clear information
Tough quizzes, need to take good notes
This is a great review of the Integrated Fitness Model for people who already have their ACE Cert. If you are looking into getting certified with ACE, then this should be a great overview of how ACE trainers work with their clients. It will show newcomers the fundamental approaches of training as an ACE trainer. I give it a 4 stars because it references the fourth edition and not the fifth edition. I have the fifth edition and the approach is still the same. Once again, this course will giver viewers a broad overview of the IFT model. If you want a more detailed look, you should buy the book and check it out.
This is a good course for refreshing your mind on the ACE IFT model. The content is good, however, I would have welcomed more questions in the quiz at the end.
good recap...
Good review, handy PDF to have available when designing programs.
Great for your clients
good course
Great new experience.. Learnd a lot .. Like definitions of words
Very informative ,short and crisp very useful for personal trainers ..esp who have time constraints..
It's Okay. It's a good reinforcement of material and is good if one hasn't already read all about it in the book. The test has a couple of typos. There is a missing forth answer choice on Question #10 (pretty big error there). There is another typo on Question #3. The word "behavior" is missing its final "r". I might have given this course a higher rating had there not been these errors.

Kathy Griffin: Kylie And Kendall Jenner Are Morons
March 28, 2013 01:13 PM by Stephanie Gustafson
Everyone has something to say about Keeping Up With The Kardashians teenagers Kylie and Kendall Jenner. Kendall in particular has been criticized for her thin figure. This time, Kathy Griffin is on the attack, but instead of accusing Kendall of being skinny, she's calling her a moron!
Kathy Griffin really knows how to get under the skin of some of today's most prominent celebrities. This time, her focus was on Kendall and Kylie Jenner, the two youngest members of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. Apparently, she hasn't bothered to figure out the names of the two sisters, referring to them as Kendall and Francine. And when Kylie approached Kathy to tell her that she's not named Francine, the comedian really let loose.
Later telling Anderson Cooper all about the incident, Kathy Griffin explained, "I ran into two of them at some concert and then either Kendall or Francine goes, 'My name isn't Francine, stop saying that on TV. Whatevs, obvi.'" Of course, Kathy wasn't too pleased about this outburst, but it wasn't the name correction that really bothered her. No, she didn't particularly appreciate
Francine Kylie's jargon. Kathy's response? "I am like finish your word you moron, finish your word, whatevs, obvi, totes."
Although she didn't mention the whole Kendall Jenner skinny bashing issue, Kathy did describe the sisters as "multiplying" and being eight-foot tall models. And when asked their ages, she responded, "They're like eleven or forty. You know, I can't really tell anymore." We're assuming Kathy's referring to the fact that these sisters seem to avoid wearing age-appropriate clothing.
Do you agree with Kathy that Kendall and Kylie are annoying? Or did she go too far? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section below!

I agree with her. They are the definition of annoying and lost of teen girls I see think just cause they don't look like them they are stupid. I say get these girls a fast food job and film how grossed out they get.

Kathy Griffin is the only MORON here. She's the one that started the entire situation. She saw a chance to gain something from the girl's family fame.

A Show's Second Helping
"Bob's Burgers" is expanding. In the first season of the animated TV comedy, its central nuclear family didn't stray far from the greasy spoon they run. With a new season starting Sunday on Fox, executive producer Loren Bouchard says his mental map of the show's world is growing—a "wonderful nerdy knowledge" that will lead his characters to misadventures at the local pool and their dentist's time-share condo in the mountains.
It's the kind of virtual sprawl that gradually enlivened Springfield and Quahog, the fictional towns of the "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy," the long-running hits that sandwich "Bob's Burgers" on Sunday nights.
Compared with the antic satire of those shows, "Bob's Burgers" is low-key and deadpan. In that regard—and in the cult following the show has developed—it's an heir to "King of the Hill," the cartoon about a middle-class Texas family that chugged along for 13 seasons on Sunday nights.
"Bob's Burgers" is a "character-driven show, and we'll be that to our death," says Mr. Bouchard, whose previous animated series include '90s cult hit "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist." Though "Bob's Burgers" didn't sizzle in the ratings, the show pleased Fox executives by retaining typically 80% of the "Simpsons" audience.
Unlike the way most cartoons are developed, Mr. Bouchard cast his main voice actors first, then built characters around them: Bob, the put-upon patriarch (Jon Benjamin), his frisky wife, Linda (John Roberts), and their kids, pubescent Tina (Dan Mintz), frenetic Gene (Eugene Mirman) and scheming 9-year-old Louise (Kristen Schaal).
To stay motivated, Mr. Bouchard remains as pessimistic about the show's fate as he was last year. "You're either a smash hit, or anything can happen," he says. "We knew we weren't the former."

Question about the physics of a hi-start
I used to fly RC a lot and lurk around these forums a bunch, and a project I'm working on now involves similar characteristics of a hi-start, so I figured you guys would be the ones to ask.
What is the function of the non-elastic string in a hi-start system? How/why does the system benefit from the string rather than being completely rubber? Does it allow for more power? Ultimately, I'm looking for ways to extract more power out of a small amount of elastic materials, most commonly rubber. Are there easy ways to do this?
Any input is appreciated. Thank you.
Total energy expended is determined by the amount you can store by stretching the rubber (typically 300% elongation, or 4 times its relaxed length). You can get higher force for a shorter time by doubling up the rubber (and thereby halving the length), but total energy only goes up if you have more rubber - either by using a longer piece, or one with a larger cross section. See Dick Williamson's article on high-starts for details.

Imagine launching a kite in little to no air. A hi-start is basically like a kite string with the rubber section acting as a runner. You want the string to be as light as possible with as little drag as possible, with only enough rubber to keep the line under tension during the climb phase of your launch. Less rubber equals less weight but gives you a shorter pulse of energy. More rubber is more weight but you get longer or stronger pulls depending on diameter and stretching properties of the power source you are using.
The wing loading, head wind, desired launch height and spar strength are all factors that you should think about when choosing the rubber and line length ratios. Hand towing is also very effective but your wing better be up to the task.
If what you are doing has nothing to do with flying and you just want to get more power from a given source of energy, the only way to do that without violating the laws of physics is to convert the energy stored in the rubber or elastic into a shorter pull through the use of pulleys or some other system of reduction like a lever and fulcrum. Compound bows may be of interest as well.

If you used a 100% rubber high start, the total energy in the system would be greater - ie 30m of rubber vs 100m of rubber. In order to "climb" rather than be "catapulted", the glider wing has to be able to pull against the rubber, to maintain the stretch in the rubber, and thus keep it "pulling" against the glider, to keep it moving.
If there is too much "energy" in the rubber for the glider to pull against, then it won't be able to counter the stretch, and will, in effect, be simply catapulted towards the horizon.
This is where some people make an error in going for a powerful high start, and using it on a smaller model, which won't be able to generate sufficient lift to hold the stretch in the rubber, so they get short, low launches.
Thats why some of the EDF guys use a very short, full rubber "bungee" to launch a model, as it very quickly gets the model to flying speed in a short distance.
As above, the energy potential of a particular length of rubber is the same, regardless of whether a line is attached or not, the difference is in the rate at which the energy in the rubber is released.
Note, there should always be some stretch left in the rubber at the top of the launch, and in fact, with a bit of a breeze and a strong model, you can stretch the rubber further during the launch than it was stretched when you let go of the model. A high start isn't a catapult

I'm not hi starting, but to me, and take this with a grain of salt...If you stretch a 25 foot band to a hundred feet and attach the plane and let it go, the vector will be towards the point of ground where the rubber is attached and the glider must convert that all to lift, the lift must fight completely against the contraction of the rubber and thus your glider is going to go forward and ?up...but only to the height of the non stretched rubber plus what ever lift overcoming strength of the rubber can be produced. So if you need 15 pounds of pull to stretch the rubber to full length, your plane will need to generate that lift to maximize elevation. Now if we add a hundred feet of 20 pound power pro fishing line to the end, no stretch, the plane will lift, the rubber will contract but at the apex you will have the length of the rubber in neutral, plus the lift generated by the plane, plus the length of the power pro leader. So now a hundred and 3 feet? Again, not a hi-start specialist, but I did stay at a holiday in last month
PS, I like power pro for fishing, it has zero stretch with very good feedback, 20 pound power pro has like a 6-8 pound mono diameter. I'd actually consider going to 50 pound PP just to have a larger feel in the hand. The stuff will cut you to the bone if you wrap it around and your hand and pull tight. treat it with respect!
Now a slightly different question...could you hi start in series??? A double hi start? Scott

Gary Learned put together a nice summary of various brands of high starts and how they match to the weights of sailplanes.

Physics aside don't forget about safety when using strong bungee cords......the longer length of string also separates the user from the rubber and protects you in case the bungee breaks and keeps you at a safer distance from the end of the whip.
A high start uses another unique force that has not been considered here and that is apparent wind speed. The exact math for which I will not go into detail about. A brief explanation, if any of you have any sailing or kiteboarding experience you will know that an airfoil passing through a plane that rotates around an axis perpendicular to wind will generate additional speed, this effect is known as apparent wind and can depending on the angle of attack generate incredible force! A 15 sq. meter wing in a 10 mile per hour wind can lift a 200 lb. man 30 feet off the water. The only difference is that the anchor point is fixed and not moving in relation to the wing, however, if there is wind it will add force to the stored energy in the elastic. If there is a significant gust that energy is multiplied and can result in a failure in either the system or the aircraft. Also the amount of force is in relative the the angle of attack. To some extent that could be controlled by elevator.

Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard this, but it makes PERFECT sense. If your rubber is too strong, it will just "drag" your model along while it contracts. A smaller model will not have enough wing area/lift to counteract the load, so it will just get dragged through the air without climbing.
That really is an awesome little detail. Thanks for pointing this out. I was just about to grab a heavy-duty Hi-start for my 2M and 3M gliders, because I figured more power has to be a good thing, but after looking at Dick Williamson's breakdown of the rubber cords, it doesn't look like the "heavy duty" is really any different than the 2M version. My 3M model is around 40 oz., so it's apparently too heavy even for the "heavy duty" version. But man, those Aerofoam launchers are expensive, and even the 3M rubber at Hobby Lobby is $80 (when it's in stock).
Hmmmm, I need to find a cheaper alternative to launching my old-timers. It's almost cheaper just to go electric!
The string allows the glider to remain tethered to the hi-start at a greater distance from the pin. The more distance you have on the ground, the more altitude you can have when you cross over the top.
What you can do easily is either vary the rubber thickness and length or add other mechanisms to change the power release into a form that is most useful for your application-- tune it to release a lot of force over a short distance/time, or a small amount of force over a long distance/time, or someplace in between.

The voices of those who have been helped
April 26, 2012
Dear Readers,
I would like to share with you some of the many thank you notes we have received in the past weeks. So many are grateful for our helping hand and I felt you should all know what our assistance means to those struggling in poverty. I thank you from the bottom of my heart daily, but thought you would also like to hear directly from the fellow Americans we have helped to ease the pains of poverty for.
Dear Sal and everyone at The Time Is Now to Help,
My heart is so full of gratitude for the compassion you have shown my daughter. Your caring leaves me speechless! The Lord himself must be delighted with all of you and may God's blessings be returned tenfold. My daughter said to me, "Angels do walk the earth." Thank you and may Gods grace shine upon us all.
We provided this woman's daughter with rent and utility assistance.
Dear The Time Is Now to Help,
As I read in the paper all of the wonderful people whom have given to this organization it reminds me of how good others are. They and the wonderful dentist have blessed us, and my grand-daughter. With your help, I watched her sit in a dentist chair for the first time in her life. As I thought of the blessing from all of you, The Time is Now, I cried. Thanks to you she has signed up for summer school. She wants so badly to learn and you have helped her begin. That will never be forgotten. She is a good young lady and so kind to me, so full of love. God has blessed me to have her. Thank you to all at The Time Is Now to Help for lighting the hearts of a Grandma, Grandpa, and Grand-daughter
We provided rent and utility assistance for these grandparents and grand-daughter. The granddaughter received dental care from a generous dentist. She had never been to a dentist her whole life as they could not afford it.
Dear The Time Is Now to Help,
No one has reached out to me in years. But you reached out to help. That is a miracle. You have no idea how that touched my heart and my soul. A complete stranger that cares about humanity, with many friends who want to help, that actually do something to help. When social security denied me and my unemployment was removed, even though I am legally blind, I cried for a long, long time. I prayed. I looked to God to help me, Jesus to heal my eyes and the Holy Spirit to guide me. A few days later you called. If that isn't a miracle, I don't know what is. Thank you for helping when help was needed the most. I will pray that more people help each other like all of you do. May God Bless You Always
This letter was written by a woman that is caring for two mentally disabled children and several senior citizens. She is slowly going blind from an eye disease. We paid their overdue rent and utilities. We also offered them comfort and reassurance that there are people that care in the world.
Dear The Time Is Now to Help,
Thank you so much for what you and your organization have done for me. You have made a big difference in my life. You have given me the hope and consideration that I needed. I can actually see now thanks to the glasses you provided me. My teeth feel so much better. I have not been to a dentist in over twenty years. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless The Time Is Now to Help.
A woman living with multiple disabilities was provided with rent assistance. We also paid off her payday loans that were used to pay her medical bills. We paid for a long overdue eye exam, glasses, and dental care. This assistance made a major improvement in her quality of life. God Bless all of you for caring and sharing, and making our God's work possible.
Dear The Time Is Now to Help,
Thank you so much for your kind and generous donation for a new wheel chair for me. I was so touched when my friend told me you had purchased this for me that I could not stop crying. You inspire me to want to do the same and be as giving as I can. God is so good and I want you to know that all of you really have changed my life for the better. Your beautiful selflessness fills my heart with so much joy! When I get rich and famous The Time Is Now to Help will be the first organization I donate to.
This was written by a young woman that has been paralyzed her entire life, yet goes to college fulltime and works. She supports herself and lives alone. She is an amazing woman that was being hampered by her old wheelchair. She was continually trapped when it broke down on campus and reliant on friends to rescue her regularly. Her caring friends were holding fundraisers for her for over a year. How could we let this woman that wants so much to succeed be subjected to the fear, danger, and embarrassment of relying on a broke down wheel chair? God Bless all of you for following your heart to live around our author of life, "God".
Dear The Time Is Now to Help,
Thank you for all you and The Time Is Now to Help have done for me and my family. It has allowed me to get gas for my car, buy groceries, and allowed me to keep our lights and heat on. May God continue to bless The Time Is Now to Help.
Dear The Time Is Now to Help,
On Tuesday you had five mattress sets and frames delivered to residents most in need at our elderly/disabled apartment complex. Thank you for donating the beds and organizing the delivery. Your work with local elderly and poverty stricken families is so generous and unselfish, and so many of these deserving individuals seem to have been forgotten. The beds provided to these five individuals may seem a small gesture to a large corporation or politician, but to these five people it is the difference of a healthy night sleep in a safe apartment and warm bed. We cannot express enough our sincere gratitude for the help The Time Is Now to Help provided our residents, and for your continuing mission of serving our local communities' most vulnerable seniors and at risk families. This reminds me of the words spoken by Mother Teresa, "We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love." Sincerely, Property Manager and Service Coordinator
This letter shows the gratitude from a property manager of a senior citizen and disabled apartment complex. Many of these residents live in great poverty and have never slept on a new mattress in their whole lives. We have provided them this great comfort. And yes, together, "we" do many, many small things with great, great love.
God Bless all of you for helping our fellow creations by removing their pains of poverty. Your help is what makes The Time Is Now to Help so successful in its fight to end the suffering of poverty. Thank you for your caring and sharing for our fellow Americans in desperate need.
Health and Happiness, God Bless Everyone, W.C./Sal

New Products: Multinational team
The latest innovations in payroll and benefits
Multinational team
The TalentSoft suite provides multinational employers with an integrated performance management tool.
Employees are able to self-serve through TS my profile, TS my events and TS my actions, helping to give them control over their career progression. The software is multilingual and features elements such as assessment interviews, performance reviews, training, succession, mobility, recruitment and compensation plans.
Giant benefits scheme
A benefits and rewards scheme has been launched by giant group plc for contractors.
The package provides temporary, freelance and contractors with comparable benefits to those working within a large national organisation. When workers join the company they become employees and gain access to giant advantages; it is also open to umbrella companies.
Matthew Brown, Managing Director of giant, commented: "Our contractors have the best of both worlds: the kind of benefits employees might expect from a blue chip employer while retaining the flexibility that contractors value so highly."
SMEs get big pension
Encompass from Enrich has given small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access to the type of pension scheme that was traditionally only available to larger firms.
The umbrella plan features a simple pension which is designed specifically for SMEs. It includes policy terms, governance, and member reports. The scheme was built with auto-enrolment scheme governance rules in mind.
Nick Oram, Head of Pensions at Enrich, said: "Within Encompass, governance reports are included at significantly reduced rates than are usually associated with such forms of scheme evaluation."
Maternity stages
Talking Talent has released an App to help women through maternity or adoption leave and returning to work.
By adding departure and expected return dates the App recognises when a woman reaches different stages in her leave and prompts her to take the necessary action. The App content includes communicating with key people, career options, planning the return to work, choosing childcare, settling in and achieving a work–life balance.
Mobile attendance
A mobile attendance and absenteeism solution has been unveiled by Bodet.
Kelio V10.2 allows managers to monitor up to 10,000 members of staff at multiple sites. The touch-screen tool enables self-service and virtual clocking. It also includes activity job costing, attendance board display and absence request management.
Marc Clavereau, UK Managing Director at Bodet, said: "The new functionality offers an exciting range of new features which we are confident our customers will be delighted with."
HR in the cloud
Armstrong Watson has revealed its HR software service utilising cloud technology.
The solution allows employers to create, store and retrieve staff details from any location. It also provides enhanced communication and employee self-service, and allows absences, benefits, training, performance and discipline to be managed.
Brian Stenhouse, Director of Group Payroll Services at Armstrong Watson, said: "Employers will be able to maintain accurate records and monitor and report on a wide range of employment matters at any time and from anywhere using their internet browser."

Greys Distance Marker:
The original marker rod.
A very good looking rod with understated looks give these rods something a bit different, super slim blanks are a real head turner, and the progressive action provides ample power when needed. These rods can deal with hard work from punching leads and dealing with PVA bags, and of course dealing with large fish.
The finish of the rods has a small logo, abbreviated handle and a gun smoked finished butt cap. A very good looking rod coupled with the slim blanks makes this a popular option.
The Greys distance marker a real useful piece of equipment.
Unfortunately, we do not have the model in stock that you are looking for today.
However, hundreds of new items are added to the site each week – and there is a good chance we will have the item in very shortly.

Many investors have correctly commented on the weakened condition of the American banking system, yet many banks that have emerged from the financial crisis healthy and sound. Several of these banks are using the financial crisis to their advantage by acquiring the deposits and loan books of failed banks at cheap prices. These acquisitions come with loss sharing agreements with the federal government that makes the deals highly lucrative for the banks involved.
IN PICTURES: How To Make Your First $1 Million
In a typical loss sharing agreement, the FDIC covers 80% of the losses incurred by the buyer on the asset pool. The agreement covers credit losses as well as certain expenses. The FDIC uses loss-sharing agreements in certain situations because it considers them the least costly method of seizing a failed bank.
The FDIC has entered into 53 loss sharing agreements through August 2009, covering $80 billion in total assets.
Taking In Some Sun
IberiaBank Corp (Nasdaq:IBKC) recently took over two banks in Florida. Iberiabank Corp took over Orion Bank, located in Naples, and Century Bank F.S.B. located in Sarasota. The takeovers gave IberiaBank Corp an entry into the formerly coveted Florida market, and $3.1 billion in total assets, along with total deposits of $2.5 billion.
The important part of the deal is that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is providing a loss sharing agreement to IberiaBank Corp. The FDIC consents to share a portion of the loss on a specified pool of assets. For Century Bank F.S.B., the size of the pool is $656 million, and for Orion Bank, the pool size is $1.9 billion.
The deals were a home run for IberiaBank Corp., as the institution was able to get into the Florida market at a cheap valuation, while its competitors bought into Florida years ago at as much as three times book value at the peak of the bank acquisition craze. The bank estimates the purchases will be accretive by $1.00 to earnings per share in 2010. (Learn more about accretion and dilution in Accretion/Dilution Analysis: A Merger Mystery.)
Other Banks Buying In
Other publicly traded banks have also bought the assets of failed banks and entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. In October 2009, U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) purchased the assets of nine banks and has a loss covering agreement covering $14.4 billion in assets.
When Colonial Bank failed back in August 2009, BB & T Corp (NYSE:BBT) bought $22 billion of its assets and got loss sharing on $15 billion of them.
Loss sharing doesn't always happen when the FDIC seizes a bank and seeks to dispose of the assets. Earlier in 2009, Omni National failed and the FDIC became the receiver of the
bank. SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE:STI) became the paying agent and operated the six branches of Omni Bank for the government. This was done presumably because the assets of Omni Bank were unattractive even with a loss sharing agreement.
The Bottom Line
Many banks that sat out the bank acquisition binge are acting like bottom fishing value investors, acting in a way that would make Warren Buffett himself proud. These institutions now have a weekly pick of assets in coveted areas to consider at bargain prices.

The principal was too busy "handling other issues," so my parents' concern was dumped onto the vice principal, Mrs. Ross (who is now retired in Florida and quite happy, I suppose.) To Mrs. Ross, it didn't matter what Mitchel had said or what he had done, her response to all of it was simple: "there's nothing we can do about it." It was taking place on a bus which, technically, isn't during school. She could talk to him, which she did, but it really wasn't her place to get involved, as she explained to us. So Mrs. Ross spoke to Mitchel, and the harassment ceased for a couple days, but then came back threefold with biting words I had never heard (I just knew they were evil by his tone), combined with consistent kicking and smacking, despite my tears.
If Mrs. Ross wasn't going to do anything — although my parents had spoken with her several times and pleaded for help in the situation — my mother was going to do the only thing she could, and drove me back and forth to school every day so I didn't have to deal with the bus. I was lucky enough that Mitchel was a year ahead of me, and I only saw him once in the hallway during that time, but it didn't take away the words or make the physical abuse any less painful.
By the time I reached third grade, Mitchel was gone; he had moved out of the town, and the bus was safe again. Although I'd be subjected to bullies several times throughout my awkward years (aren't we all?), it was nothing compared to Mitchel. I may have only been in second grade, but when you need to go home and ask your mom what "abortion" means after you've been kicked to the ground, that shit stays with you forever.
Again, we could chalk it up to "he has a crush on you," or "boys will be boys," but haven't we done that enough? Haven't we made excuses for this type of behavior one too many times?
I don't know where Mitchel is these days. I like to assume he has a full time job at a gas station somewhere in New Hampshire and is tied down to three or four kids, a wife he probably dislikes and has to drive to work in a Ford Escort that's been on its last leg since 2000. I don't wish him ill will or harm, but I do find a bit of solace in the potential that he is miserable wherever he is, if only to feel that I've been vindicated.
Bullying, in all its forms, is vile and inappropriate behavior. I understand that kids are rarely aware of the influence they have on a peer or fellow classmate when they're spewing such vulgarity, but that right there should be enough to educate kids about the possible deadly results of their words and actions.
As I said, I'm not looking for a "woe is me" reaction to this; what I am looking for is for school administrations to fucking step up to the plate and take responsibility for this behavior. Dismissing any type of bullying with "there's nothing we can do about it," is turning a blind eye to an epidemic that is a serious matter.
I realize my case is minimal in the grand scheme of things. I didn't take my life over it, and although it is something that probably scarred me more than I'm willing to admit, I'd like to think it made me stronger. However, I'm lucky in that regard; others are not so lucky and as long as we live in a society that doesn't take bullying as serious as it is, we all lose.

Sound management begins
with a COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Whether you want a complete financial plan or a more specific solution, our first step is to understand your needs. Together we explore your risk tolerance, goals, time horizon and other concerns. We carefully review your financial documents, such as bank and investment statements, insurance policies, wills and tax returns. We then consider how your success could be affected by outside influences, such as life expectancy, the market environment, inflation estimates and other economic factors. This foundation of knowledge is the key to helping you achieve your objectives.
A thorough plan of action
A Synovus financial plan recommends specific, practical steps to help shape the financial future you envision, and can address these five areas:
- Asset allocation analysis forms the foundation of any financial plan. In fact, determining the right mix of stocks, bonds, cash and other asset classes may be one of the most important investment decisions.
- Retirement planning analysis calculates your retirement needs, taking into consideration assets, expenses, saving rates, expected rate of return and various sources of income. This analysis can reveal whether you are on track to retiring when you want, the way you want.
- Education funding analysis provides a plan for achieving your dreams for your children. It projects savings requirements and helps you choose from a variety of investment vehicles.
- Risk management analysis illustrates ways to protect your family from unexpected events. Upon thorough evaluation, we may recommend the insurance coverage best suited to your needs.
- Estate planning analysis offers sophisticated strategies that help you transfer assets to family members or favorite charities. It can protect your legacy against unwanted outcomes and unnecessary tax liabilities.

I've seen plenty of posts providing the
-W0 flag as an answer to this issue, but I don't want to suppress all warnings, just warnings of a particular value.
I'm running a non-rails app (which uses ActiveRecord, notwithstanding) on Ruby 1.8.7. I want to keep all warnings except for the following DEPRECATION WARNING:
Object#id will be deprecated; use Object#object_id
If that's not possible, I'd like to jettison all deprecation warnings. Java, at least, lets you do this. How about Ruby?
Update: I've upvoted both answers but checked the one that later searchers will expect to find here.

She recently tried a old LWB Ryan recumbent and loved the underseat steering and it was easier on her knees. She does alot of touring with her bent so any new bike would have to be suitable for that.

Conditional logic can be used to conditionally show/hide fields or sections of your form if any or all of several criteria are met.
Conditionally show a field
- Go into edit your form.
- Open the Field Options for the field that you want to conditionally hide or show.
- Select Use Conditional Logic and add any criteria that you want. For example, you may want to only show the current field if the 'Would you like to add your email address?' field is equal to 'Yes'.
- Now, when the user meets the criteria in the conditional logic, the hidden field will appear.
Show a field when another is completed
- Go into edit your form.
- Open the Field Options for the field that you want to conditionally show.
- Select Use Conditional Logic and set it up to say:
Show this field if any of the following match: Field X is NOT equal to ______(leave blank).
Conditionally display a section
To hide or show a section of your form, add a Section Heading field which uses conditional logic. All the fields inside the section will hide or show with the heading.
- Add a 'Section' → 'Heading' field. Drag and drop fields into the Section.
- Open the Section field's options click 'Use Conditional Logic' and add any criteria that you want.
- If you do not want to see the heading for this section, open the Field Options and set the Label Position to 'None'.
- When the user meets the criteria in the conditional logic, all the fields inside of the Section Heading will appear.
Display selected number of fields
If you would like to allow users to fill out an identical field n times, where n is dependent on the number selected in another field, follow the instructions below to set this up. This may come in handy if you have a field where a user selects the number of tickets and you want 3 text fields to show up if '3' is selected for the number of tickets.
- Add a dropdown field for selecting the number of sets to show. The options for this field would simply be numbers: 1, 2, 3, etc.
- Add a 'Single Line Text' field and title it 'Name'.
- Use the duplicate icon in the upper-right of each of your new fields to create the exact same field. Continue duplicating each field until you have the maximum number of fields that you need. For example, if your user can select up to five from your dropdown created in Step 1, you need create five 'Name' fields.
- Add conditional logic to each of the 'Name' fields.
- Conditional logic settings for the first 'Name' field:
If you want your first 'Name' field to always be visible, do not use any conditional logic for this field.
- Conditional logic settings for the second 'Name' field:
- Conditional logic settings for the third 'Name' field:
- Add similar logic to the rest of the 'Name' fields in your form.
- Conditional logic settings for the first 'Name' field:
Now when the user selects the number of names to input, the selected number of fields will show.
Conditionally skip a page
Conditionally skip a page based on a response from the user. Please note: You cannot use conditional logic on the last Page Break field in your form.
- Add a Page Break field to your form and open its Field Options.
- Click Use Conditional Logic and add any criteria that you want.

Quick Takes
Radio Ray
Texans do love their cars, but this might be stretching it. Pastor David Ray on Aug. 27 began holding church services in the parking lot of a suburban Dallas high school-a kind of drive-thru church he calls Sanctuary Under the Sky. Parishioners of Ray's Presbyterian Church of the Master drive into a parking spot outside the high school, pick up a bulletin and tune into the worship service on their car radios while watching him through the windshield. Ray says he wanted to reach out to unchurched people. "I think [Jesus] would like it. His stuff was outdoors," Ray told WFAA-TV. "A lot of trouble He had was indoors."
Knockout plan
Knocking down old casinos is hardly news in Las Vegas. But the planned demise for the Harmon Hotel is unusual even by Vegas standards. Building owner MGM halted construction on the non-gaming, 27-floor hotel in 2008 and on Aug. 15 announced plans to implode the building before it opened. Back in 2008, engineers on the project discovered major construction flaws that would make the building unstable in the event of a major earthquake. MGM officials say building contractor Perini botched installation of support steel making the project untenable-a claim Perini plans to fight in court.
Heavy lifter
He may be a non-commissioned officer, but Marine Sgt. David Douglas really knows how to push some weight around. The Camp Pendleton Marine notched a world record, bench-pressing 738.5 pounds at the U.S. Powerlifting Association Open in the event for lifters weighing under 308 pounds. "People were really patting me on the back," Douglas told WTKR. "And [making] little jokes here and there about, 'Can you pick up my car if I have a flat tire?'" No, but Douglas said he probably could lift a small elephant. The 6-foot, 272-pound man nicknamed "The Beast" said he could only get 145 pounds up in high school and credits the Marines' powerlifting team for his record-breaking performance.
Needing some space?
Feeling a bit squeezed for hard drive space? An IBM project being constructed in California is sure to make you a bit jealous. Researchers and engineers are constructing a data storage system that, when completed, should allow for 120 petabytes of storage. By comparison, that's enough data storage capacity to store 24 billion MP3s or the storage equivalent to more than 83 billion 3.5-inch floppy disks from the 1990s. IBM said it's constructing the system by piecing together 200,000 conventional hard drives for a customer that wants to use the system for complex computer simulations. "This 120 petabyte system is on the lunatic fringe now, but in a few years it may be that all cloud computing systems are like it," project leader Bruce Hillsberg told MIT's Technology Review.
Diamond dinner
For a Georgia jewelry store owner, there's only one consolation to the news that your dog has just eaten $10,000 worth of diamonds: This too shall pass. Chuck Roberts of Albany, Ga., said his small dog Honey Bun is only supposed to greet customers at the door as they enter the jewelry shop he co-owns. But sometime in early August, Honey Bun managed to stumble upon a pack of small, loose diamonds valued at over $10,000. Honey Bun apparently gobbled up the diamonds as if they were kibbles. After eliminating most other possibilities, Roberts took Honey Bun to a clinic to be X-rayed on a hunch. Sure enough, Honey Bun had some precious cargo in her stomach. The next day, Roberts paid close attention to her droppings and successfully recovered diamonds.
Electric biker
What do you do when Guinness World Records doesn't have a category to fit your particular specialty? You petition them to create one for you. Electric bicycle enthusiast Allan Lear of Queensland, Australia, did just that and the organization said it would credit him with a world record if he can manage to electrically pedal his way more than 745 miles in one week. If Lear's plans to ride more than 185 miles every day into the Australian outback beginning Aug. 26 come to fruition, he will have set the record much closer to 1,000 miles. The 45-year-old's highly modified bike will do much of the pedaling for him thanks to its electrical drive, provided his support car can properly charge the bicycle's batteries.
Pant protection
Florida has a new dress code for schools this fall, but it's one that almost all students until recent years would have thought obvious: Keep your pants up. State Sen. Gary Siplin, D-Orlando, championed a law in the Florida legislature banning the popular saggy pants on school campuses, and as classes began this semester he went to several schools to hand out belts. Students who do not comply face suspensions from school and extracurricular activities. Siplin, who is African-American, saw opposition to the law from the ACLU and the NAACP, but he told the Reuters news service that he found support in communities. "The parents, the grandmothers, the professional people, they say, 'How can they walk down the street showing their behinds?' It's not civilized."
Your brain on drugs
A Port Richey, Fla., resident learned an elementary lesson in street life in August: When your drug dealer shortchanges you on a deal, sheriff's deputies aren't so interested in helping you get your change back. Donald M. Hughes told a sheriff's deputy that he was robbed by a woman who had taken a $20 bill from him but hadn't made change. According to official reports, Hughes paid Tammy Lucas $5 he owed her and purchased $5 worth of Xanax pills. When Lucas failed to give him his $10 change, he called authorities. Sheriff's officials in turn arrested Hughes and charged him with filing a false police report.
Animal crazy
Even many small and uncontroversial items don't make it through security at American airports, but an alleged smuggler in Miami apparently thought he could trick the TSA by stuffing seven exotic snakes and three tortoises into his pants. It didn't work. Security officials spotted the animals, which were stuffed into small bags, as the man went through airport security checkpoints on Aug. 25 before a scheduled trip to Brazil. Authorities did not identify the man.

The Ultimate PS3 Games Showdown has officially kicked off! We've set out to decide the Best PS3 Game of All Time, but we need your help. Through a series of match-ups, we'll narrow the field until only the best of the best remain. All you need to do is click the link below and cast YOUR vote in our official poll!
The Contenders:
Resistance 2
Insomniac's second entry in the Resistance franchise was met with both acclaim and alarm. As a shooter, the game was very different from its predecessor in terms of mechanics and atmosphere. But it wasn't all bad; in fact, some of it was downright awesome. With its one-of-a-kind "MMOFPS" co-op mode, expansive competitive multiplayer options, and globe-trotting campaign with no shortage of epic, there was enough content in Resistance 2 to warrant a spot on this list. It's not the game everybody wanted, but it certainly did Resistance fans justice.
Resistance 3
After its predecessor's mixed reception, Insomniac went back to the drawing board and ripped the franchise apart. When sewing it back together, the team included everything that made the first game so special, and more. The campaign can be, from moment to moment, thrilling, saddening, inspiring, and even scary. Resistance 3 is said to be the last console entry in the franchise, and we couldn't have asked for a better send-off. All hail the weapon wheel, and may your Bullseye tags fly ever true.
Which of these two games deserves to move forward in our competition? Cast your votes in the official polling thread, and be sure to vote in all our match-ups to decide the Best PS3 Game Ever!

2 questions on the stock noah's arc-like bars set up on a Specialized Langster Seattle.
Are there any disadvantages to cutting down the bars a bit to fit my shoulder width a bit better? I like the idea of going thru busy downtown streets with narrower bars. However, I am not sure if this is psychological but sometimes, I feel like I am getting some decent shock absorption when I grip near the end of the bars now. By trimming an inch on the ends, would I lose some of that?
Secondly, does anyone know if there are disadvantages to mounting a 26mm bullhorns on a 31.8 stem with the appropriate shims (ie: Problem Solvers 26>31.8 shim). It'd be nice if I can switch up the bars depending on the type of riding that I'll be doing.

News: 'Dagger' brigade hosts 2014 Days of Remembrance ceremony
Story by Staff Sgt. John Johnson
FORT RILEY, Kan. - Days of Remembrance ceremony 2014 featured descendents of the Holocaust who shared their families' stories April 9 at Fort Riley.
This year's event, hosted by 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, featured the theme, as designated by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, "Confronting the Holocaust: American Responses."
During the observance, two 1st Inf. Div. Jewish American Soldiers and two Kansas residents shared their families' experiences during the Holocaust era.
The family of Lt. Col. Matthew Weinshel, commander, 1st Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, Inf. Div., did not experience the Holocaust but he shared their feelings towards it during that time.
"Although my family did not directly experience the Holocaust, they heard some of the terrible atrocities occurring in Europe," Weinshel said. "Like many others, they did not believe what they heard." Weinshel went to the Auschwitz former German Nazi concentration camp in present day Poland 20 years ago as a cadet.
"When one walks through the gates, it makes a person think about the fear these families, men, women, children and the elderly, felt upon arrival in the late 1930s and 1940s," Weinshel said.
Special guests at the April 9 observance also included Allen Lebovitz, a graduate of the University of Kansas and who has a Juris Doctorate from the University of Missouri, and son Michael Lebovitz, senior at the University of Kansas, who shared their family's experiences.
Allen Lebovitz is the son of Holocaust survivors Eugene and Kate Lebovitz, who migrated to the United States in June 1946.
The ceremony also included Jewish cultural food such as corned beef catered by Riley's Conference Center.
The 2014 Days of Remembrance ceremony marked the beginning of an observance that lasts from April 27 through May 4 nationwide to remember the families who were lost during the Holocaust.

Over two weeks ago my XC90 with 2500 miles experienced electrical system failure. Dash went black, no turn signals, RPM and MPH flatlined to zero, no air/heat controls, and no window usage capability. Car was taken to German dealership (I'm an American living in Germany). They had car two weeks and said they replaced the CEM and updated software. So I get in the car and the radio automatically syncs to my phone Bluetooth and starts playing music and then I checked and my station presets are still there. This is a bit fishy to me. If they replaced CEM, wouldn't the radio need to be reset with my preferences? My seat memory also worked to my settings without me having to reset. I am by no means an auto technician, but I would think I would have to reset my preferences on some of these things just like if the electricity in a house went out and I had to reset clocks, microwaves, etc. Any advice/feedback? Thank you!
Does replacing the CEM reset the whole electrical system? on 2013 Volvo XC90

ANSWER by Bret Bodas , January 25, 2013
Hello, Great question, but I believe all the presets for the above listed items reside in different modules so replacement of the CEM will not affect them. I can't speak for this dealer but if they said they replaced the CEM, then they likely did. Anyway, hope this helps and your Volvo is back in tip top shape.

Million Dollars Otter
Because of the price on their furs they are called "soft gold otter". People have came all the way from Europe to America just to hunt them. In marina's dock in Monterrey there are many yachts anchored, but in the water below them, the whole new world is showing. Sea otters- Enhydra lutris, rare species from northern coast of the Pacific Ocean. When the yacht's owners aren't around you can easily see how otters are resting on the deck. That's not a common behavior for a little mammals. Usually they spend most of their time under the water. On the square centimeter of skin they have about 400.000 hairs. Russian hunters almost exterminate them in Alaska 1741. From Californian coast they were also almost exterminated in 1900. The value of one fur was about 1000 dollars ( 36000 dollars today) . Hunting them was prohibited and they became protected by law in 1911.

Every year before Thanksgiving, my mother managed to have at least 40 dozen cookies baked and in the freezer for the holidays! Of all her recipes, this is the one I like most.
Makes 4 dozen.
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon water
2 cups all-purpose flour
6-oz. package chocolate chips
Powdered sugar
Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast at 375° for 5 minutes; watch carefully to avoid burning pecans. Set aside to cool. Cream the butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and beat again. Thoroughly mix in the water and flour, then add chocolate chips and pecans. Shape into small balls, approximately 2 teaspoons of dough each. Place on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 300° for about 20 minutes. While still warm, roll cookies in powdered sugar and place on cookie rack to cool.

It's time to ban Bitcoin.
I've been writing for a long time about how Bitcoin, if adopted widely, would be a grave threat to property rights. You see, while property rights are an inalienable human right, Bitcoin is an anarchic currency that resists any attempts to enforce such property rights. Criminal transactions cannot be reversed, and unlawfully obtained Bitcoins cannot be sent back to their rightful owners. The criminals have | Read More »

text: Thanks to the reporters of tickets #1108, #1197 (similar to #1279), and #1222. Pointing out these problems allowed me to find and squash two subtle memory leaks and one just plain stupid bug lurking in reduce-at (when using the buffered internal loop). I think I fixed the problems. I added a test for #1108, but I don't have good tests for the memory leak fixes. I'm not sure how to write a good test for those. Even though it may take several months to get to the tickets with my limited time, please do continue to report problems. I'm hoping to have more time for NumPy next year.

In case of emergency
On campus?
Call 6-3333.
Off campus
Call 911.
Do you have an urgent health concern that cannot wait until the next business day? Call the on-call health center clinician for advice at (781) 239-1948.
Urgent care is for health needs that cannot wait until the health center is open.
Examples of this include:
- the possible need for an x-ray
- urinary pain with back pain
- a deep laceration that may need stitches
- need for IV hydration due to severe vomiting, or unresolved high fevers.
Urgent care should not replace seeing a provider in an ambulatory office setting as it is a more expensive setting intended for more acute health care needs. The Health Center staff will assist with transferring you to urgent or emergency care as needed.
If you do go to the emergency or urgent care centers please let them know you are a Brandeis student and would like a record of your visit sent to the health center so we can provide follow up care.
