text: Roth IRA is a great way for clients to create tax-free income from their retirement assets. Yet, keep in mind that when you convert your taxable retirement assets into a Roth IRA you will generally pay ordinary income tax on the taxable amount that is converted. The conversion amount is not subject to the 10% early distribution penalty. Your tax-free potential is maximized if you pay the taxes from your current income or personal savings and not from your IRA. Individuals of all income levels are eligible to convert to a Roth IRA.

Duff McKagan Felt 'Culture Shock' Upon Meeting Slash
Duff McKagan recently reflected on the "culture shock" he felt upon meeting Guns N' Roses bandmate Slash.
McKagan joined Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard on the latest episode of Spotify's Rock This With Allison Hagendorf podcast. The rockers discussed their formative years in Seattle's burgeoning punk scene in the early '80s, as well as McKagan's move to Los Angeles, where he quickly linked up with Slash and original Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler.
"I met [Slash] and Steven Adler at Canter's," McKagan said, referencing the 24-hour Jewish deli off the Sunset Strip that became an all-hours hot spot for rock musicians. "I walked in. His name was Slash in the ad. We talked on the payphone, and I thought he'd be some, like, punker guy like me. 'Cause it was '84."
By this point, McKagan explained, punk's early-'80s popularity had started to dwindle, and he and his future bandmates were considering their next moves.
"By '84 — and [Seattle grunge pioneers] Green River is a good testament to this — by '84, people were looking, like, 'Whatever's gonna be next is gonna be on our shoulder. Punk's done,'" McKagan said. "The hardcore had come in and kind of ruined a lot of punk scenes. It was these suburban jock guys who shaved their heads and started beating up people and doing 'sieg heils.' It was like, 'This is not punk, guys.' So whatever was next, it was gonna be up to us."
You can listen to the interview below.
McKagan, whose musical style and aesthetic were still clearly indebted to his Seattle upbringing, was a bit surprised to see two longhaired rockers waiting for him inside Canter's.
"So, this guy's name was Slash. The influences he liked were Fear, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper. I'm, like, okay, but this guy's going kind of where I'm going," McKagan said. "I had blue hair, short blue hair. I walked into Canter's. And they told me what booth they were gonna be at. So I found the booth, and it's these two longhaired guys, and I'm, like, 'Whoa.' It was kind of a culture shock, and I think I was a little bit of a culture shock to them. But we sat down and started talking, and we talked about music. And that's the thing – it's a universal thing."
The initial culture shock obviously did not deter the musicians, as Guns N' Roses became enormously successful and earned the best-selling debut album of all time with Appetite for Destruction. As soon as McKagan started jamming with Slash, he knew he'd found a great collaborator.
"We went back to Slash's house, his mom's basement, and he started playing acoustic guitar," McKagan said. "I had played with these guys. Stone mentioned [Seattle punk guitarist] Paul Solger – he was the guitar player. He could play leads and he was smooth and slick, and I thought he was the best guy on the West Coast. And I got in this basement with Slash, and I'm, like, 'Oh, wow.'"
Last week, McKagan's pre-Guns N' Roses band the Living released their seven-song debut album, the aptly-titled 1982, which they recorded that year. The band also included drummer Greg Gilmore, who went on to play with Gossard in Seattle grunge and alt-metal group Mother Love Bone. The Living released 1982 on Gossard's Loosegroove Records.

For metalwork and machining operations, our range of deburring tools allows precise and high-quality finishing. Featuring ergonomic designs, the deburring tools allow you to follow shapes and contours with confidence and ease, smoothing burred edges quickly and efficiently. Whether you're dealing with wood, plastic or metal, the RS range of deburring tools feature a variety of shapes and blade types to suit your purposes and are a must-have in any machine workshop.
Deburring tool kits are made up of product accessories used for deburring (de-edging) activities like grinding, mass-finishing, spindle finishing, sanding, and abrasive blasting. These tool kits contain components like blades, burrs, handles, countersinks and scrapers.
Deburring toolkits are used in the deburring of materials like steel, plastic, wood, aluminium, stone and ceramics. They can be used in conjunction with almost any type of material or equipment that has a hardened surface or a robust texture.
Deburring handles are casings that hold blades and scrappers during deburring (de-edging) activities. These handles can be made of steel, metal, rubber or plastic. Deburring handles have ergonomic soft grips to protect the hands of the user from chafing.
Deburring handles are used during grinding, mass-finishing, spindle finishing, sanding, and abrasive blasting activities. Deburring handles are available in various sizes and blade handling capabilities. These handles are categorised according to blade size compatibility.
Deburring blades are an element of handheld deburring tools designed for removing materials such as steel, aluminium, stone, ceramics, hardwood and plastics. Hand deburring tools are better for small, precise deburring jobs.
Place the deburring tool against the edge. Hold the tool so that it is right up against the edge you wish to deburr. No need to press hard to deburr the item, just ensure that the tool makes contact with the edge of the object.

The use of integrability has lead to remarkable progress in our understanding of non-perturbative dynamics in gauge theories and their relationship to string theory. Highly unexpected links between supersymmetric field theory, spin chains, and two-dimensional sigma-models have been discovered in recent years. These developments have lead to exact solutions for the dimensions of operators in planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to any loop order. This is the first case where exact results of this type have been found for any interacting four dimensional field theory.
Progress in this field has been continuing at a rapid pace. This includes: applying the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) and the development of the Y-system to compute so called finite size effects for operators with small engineering dimensions; computing scattering amplitudes at strong coupling using the integrability of the string world-sheet; finding new results in superconformal Chern-Simons theory.
The IGST2010 conference is intended to bring together experts in gauge theories, strings, and integrable systems in order to create a discussion forum for future developments in this rapidly evolving field. The conference will consist of 25 talks, each 50 minutes in length and with time allowed for questions afterward. Invitations for many of the speaking slots will be made later to allow for the latest developments.
The last day to register for the conference is 15 May 2010. The conference is part of the program "Integrability in String and Gauge Theories; AdS/CFT Duality and its Applications" which runs from 31 May to 09 July 2010 at Nordita. Please note that the conference registration is different than the registration for the program.

Bernadett Timko is a figurative artist who was born in Hungary in 1992. She began her art education at the Secondary School of Fine Art of Nyíregyháza, Hungary before moving to London to study figurative painting, sculpture and printmaking at The Heatherley School of Fine Art.
Bernadett works from life and it fascinated by people and the atmosphere their presence, or indeed absence can create. However, her paintings are not just limited to putting people at the focus – her subject can be anything as long as it makes her feel a certain kind of way, she has a connection with it and it mirrors her state of mind in that particular moment. Bernadett believes that every painting is abstract so she doesn't try to perfect them, she strives to make the process of painting visible in all of her works as she believes making art is all about the journey
She regularly exhibits at Mall Galleries and received many prizes and awards including the Winsor & Newton Young Artist Award first and second prize, Phyllis Roberts Award, Lynn Painter-Stainers Young Artist Award and the Prince of Wales Portrait Award.

BAE Systems has been selected by Lockheed Martin to modernize head-up displays (HUD) on F-16 aircraft for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Armed Forces, replacing the fleet's analog system with advanced digital technology.
The HUD, which sits directly in a pilot's line of sight, is a see-through display that presents real-time, flight-critical information without obstructing his or her view of the outside world.
BAE Systems will use its cutting-edge Digital Light Engine (DLE) technology to implement a HUD upgrade that integrates seamlessly into the F-16's existing HUD space, requiring no changes to the aircraft, cabling, or computing. The advancement will remove the outdated cathode ray tube image source and replace it with a digital projector.
"To the naked eye, the pilot sees no difference in performance when our DLE HUD is installed. It retains the existing optics, video camera, and control panel," said Andy Humphries, director of Advanced Displays at BAE Systems. "The real difference is the significant cost savings our customer will experience over the product's life cycle as a result of reduced maintenance and spares requirements."
The fully digital system has the potential to reduce life-cycle costs by 20 percent and offers at least four times the reliability of legacy analog systems. The DLE HUD features high-resolution symbology that is viewable under any flight condition, and it is designed to accommodate future advancements in symbology and video.

text: creed, the innocent victim of despotic arrogance or superstitious phrenzy, may there find refuge; his industry encouraged, his piety respected, his ambition animated; with no restraint but those laws which are the same to all, and no distinction but that which his merit may originate. Who can deny that the existence of such a country presents a subject for human congratulation! Who can deny that its gigantic advancement offers a field for the most rational conjecture! At the end of the very next century, if she proceed as she seems to promise, what a wondrous spectacle may she not exhibit ! Who shall say for what purpose a mysterious Providence may not have designed her! Who shall say that when, in its follies or its crimes, the old world may have interred all the pride of its power, and all the pomp of its civilization, human nature may not find its destined renovation in the new! I have not the least doubt that when our temples and our trophies shall have mouldered into dust-when the glories of our name shall be but the legend of tradition, and the light of our achievements. only live in song; philosophy will rise again in the sky of her Franklin, and glory rekindle at the urn of her Washington. * * * * * Though it was the defeat of our arms, and the disgrace of our policy, I almost bless the convulsion in which he had his origin. If the heavens thundered, and the earth rocked, yet when the storm passed, how pure was the climate that it cleared; how bright in the brow of the firmament was the planet which it revealed to us! In the production of Washington, it does really appear as if nature was endeavouring to improve upon herself, and that all the virtues of the ancient world were but so many studies preparatory to the patriot of the new. Individual instances, no doubt, there were; splendid exemplifications of some single qualification: Cæsar was merciful, Scipio was continent, Hannibal was patient; but it was reserved for Washington to blend them all in one, and like the lovely chef d'œuvre of the Grecian artist, to exhibit in one glow of associated beauty, the pride of every model, and the perfection of every master. As a general, he marshalled the peasant into a veteran, and supplied by discipline the absence of experience; as a statesman, he enlarged the policy of the cabinet into the most comprehensive system of general advantage; and such was the wisdom of his views, and the philosophy of his counsels, that to the soldier and the statesman he almost added the character of the sage! A conqueror, he was untainted with the crime of blood: a revolutionist, he was free from any stain of treason; for aggression commenced the contest, and his country called him to the command.-Liberty unsheathed his sword, necessity stained, victory returned it. If he had paused here, history might have doubted what station to assign him, whether at the head of her citizens or her soldiers, her heroes or her patriots. But the last glorious act crowns his career, and banishes all hesitation. Who, like Washington, after having emancipated an hemisphere, resigned its crown, and preferred the retirement of domestic life to the adoration of a land he might be almost said to have created! "How shall we rank thee upon Glory's page, Such, sir, is the testimony of one not to be ac cused of partiality in his estimate of America.Happy, proud America! the lightnings of heaven yielded to your philosophy! The temptations of earth could not seduce your patriotism! ON EDUCATION. Education is a companion which no misfortunes can depress, no clime destroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism enslave; at home a friend, abroad an introduction, in solitude a solace, in society an ornament; it chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once a grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave! a reasoning savage, vacillating between the dignity of an intelligence derived from God, and the degradation of passions participated with brutes; and in the accident of their alternate ascendancy shuddering at the terrors of an hereafter, or embracing the horrid hope of annihilation. What is this wondrous world of his residence? A mighty maze, and all without a plan; a dark, and desolate, and dreary cavern, without wealth, or ornament, or order. But light up within it the torch of knowledge, and how wondrous the transition! The seasons change, the atmosphere breathes, the landscape lives, earth unfolds its fruits, ocean rolls in its magnificence, the heavens display their constellated canopy, and the grand animated spectacle of nature rises revealed before him, its varieties regulated, and its mysteries resolved! The phenomena which bewilder, the prejudices which debase, the superstitions which enslave, vanish before education. Like the holy symbol which blazed upon the cloud before the hesitating Constantine, if man follow but its precepts, purely, it will not only lead him to the victories of this world, but open the very portals of Omnipotence for his admission. SUBJECTS DESCRIPTIVE AND MISCELLANEOUS. THE SELF INFLICTING TORMENTS OF THE GAMESTER. No man who has not felt, can possibly image to himself the tortures of a gamester. Of a gamester like me, who played for the improvement of his fortune, who played with the recollection of a wife and children, dearer to him than the blood that bubbled through the arteries of his heart; who might be said like the savages of ancient Germany, to make these relations the stake for which he threw; who saw all his own happiness and all theirs, through the long vista of life, depending on the turn of a card! All bodily racks and torments are nothing compared with certain states of the human mind. The gamester would be the most pitiable, if he were not the most despicable, creature that exists. Arrange ten bits of painted paper in a certain order, and he is 'ready to go wild with the extravagance of his joy. He is only restrained by some remains of shame from dancing about the room, and displaying the vileness of his spirit by every sort of freak and absurdity. At another time, when his hopes have been gradually worked up into a paroxysm, an unexpected turn arrives, and he is made the most miserable of men. Never shall I cease to recollect the sensation which I have repeatedly felt, in the instantaneous sinking of the spirits, the conscious fire that spread over my visage, the anger in my eye, the burning dryness of my throat, the sentiment that in a moment was ready to overwhelm with curses the cards, the stake, my own existence, and all mankind. How every malignant and insufferable passion seemed to rush upon my soul! What nights of dreadful solitude and despair did I repeatedly pass during the progress of my ruin! It was the night of the soul! My mind was wrapped in a gloom that could not be pierced! My heart was oppressed with a weight that no power appeared equal to remove! My eyelids seemed to press downward with an invincible burthen! My eyeballs were ready to start and crack their sockets! I lay motionless, the victim of ineffable horror! A description of the field of battle, where Varus, the Roman General, and his army, had been destroyed by Armineus. Also of the tribute of respect paid by Germanicus and his legions to the scattered and unburied bones of their slaughtered countrymen. Touched by this affecting circumstance, Germanicus resolved to pay the last human office to the relics of that unfortunate commander, and his slaughtered soldiers. The same tender sentiment diffused itself throughout the army. Some felt the touch of nature for their relations, others for their friends, and all lamented the disasters of war, and the wretched lot of human kind. The army marched through a gloomy solitude; the place presented an awful spectacle, and the memory of a tragical event encreased the horror of the scene. The first camp of Varus appeared in view, the extent of the ground, and the three different enclosures for the eagles, still |

I wanted dark wood.
The walls were light green with white wainscoting and I thought dark wood furniture would make the room feel more grounded. Modern. Just right for my baby boy.
A couple years later, dark finishes would be everywhere, but at the time blond wood was the fashion. I found a crib with an espresso finish, but couldn't find a dresser that was just right: big enough and not too tall so it could double as a changing table.
We found an unfinished dresser. The dresser, in itself, was nothing special. Pine. Simple. But the work we put into it was the very definition of a labor of love.
Jeff stained it to match the crib. I added jungle animal drawer knobs, lined the bottom with shelf paper and filled the drawers with baby clothes.
The top right drawer held diapers. Socks in the middle drawer. Jammies on the left.
As Moe grew, the contents evolved. The bottom drawer had to give up its blankets to make room for shorts and swimsuits. Jeans and t-shirts replaced onesies.
Other things changed. Chewies and sensory items, stretchy vests and a bright green body sock found their home in the top left drawer. Some things stayed the same. Diapers, replaced by pull-ups but diapers nonetheless, remained in the top right drawer.
Last weekend, we had to donate the dresser. Moe had been sleeping in a bed tent, and after a year or so of being climbed on, one of the poles broke. The tents are on back order and we needed a change. So we took down the tent, and to keep Moe safe we took all the other furniture too. The toy chest went to his sister's room. The swing and his little work table can be relocated every night. But there was no place to put the dresser. It had to go.
Jeff brought the dresser to Goodwill. They almost didn't take it at first, but thankfully they did. I busied myself fighting holiday traffic (already!) to get a set of drawers that would fit in Moe's closet. It was the right thing, the safe decision.
The next day I had another donation to make, this time of outgrown clothes that I had collected emptying the drawers. I drove back to Goodwill, and I couldn't help myself. I went inside.
And there it sat. My dresser. I tightened the drawer knob that always came loose. I knew it was just a thing. But that thing had seen us through a journey. A journey that began with hopes and dreams and the cutest little baby you've ever seen. And just as those hopes and dreams have had to be adjusted since Moe's (still the cutest boy you've ever seen) diagnosis, some practical things have had to be adjusted too.
Waiting to be purchased |
Even so, I cried on the way home.

18 Best Beauty ProductsTotalBeauty.com members say you can't live without these makeup and hairstyle wonders from MAC, Clinique and more |
Why it's life-changing: "Works better than any ChapStick. It even looks good as a basic, [clear] gloss. I've even slathered it on my face and slept with it on (put a towel over your pillow case!) when my face was particularly dry. When I washed it off in the morning, my skin was amazingly soft and gorgeous. My under-eye areas are really dry, so when I put concealer there it tends to look even drier, but using a very small amount of this with my concealer makes it work perfectly. For feet, hands, arms, legs, lips, [and] as a makeup remover, this product is so versatile." -- sheshedivine, TotalBeauty.com member

On signing into Google Docs today I saw the following:
I clicked Learn more and was directed to this article. The files you can upload and play:
- WebM files (Vp8 video codec and Vorbis Audio codec)
- .MPEG4, 3GPP and MOV files – (h264 and mpeg4 video codecs and AAC audio codec)
- .AVI (many cameras use this format – typically the video codec is MJPEG and audio is PCM)
- .MPEGPS (MPEG2 video codec and MP2 audio)
- .FLV (Adobe – FLV1 video codec, MP3 audio)
And how do you play a video?
Simply click a video file that you've uploaded to your Documents List and the video opens in a new page that includes a video player. You will need to have Flash installed for the video player to work.
At the same time, Google says it is removing H.264 support from its Chrome browser:
Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.
How do we make sense of this? The implication is that Google is not in fact bothered about H.264, but rather wants to promote Flash for video instead of the HTML 5 <video> element. That is a problem for Apple iOS users who cannot run Flash, and puzzling insofar as you would expect Google to be promoting rather than discouraging HTML 5 adoption.
Possibly the real target is Apple. Flash has become a key selling point for non-Apple mobile devices. By making more use of Flash, Google can make the web more annoying for iOS users and thereby promote Android.
As John Gruber observes, Google has some questions to answer.
Update: Google's Mike Jazayeri has posted some more background on the decision here.

Among the raza gang, excitement seems to be building over the President's State of the Union speech that comprehensive amnesty will be a major policy point. But whatever Obama precious utterances, open-borders enthusiasts intend to mount a massive mobilization against US sovereignty.
Obama's desire to reward his supporters, the illegal aliens, is not shared by the American public, as shown by a January Pew poll. In fact, Obama's priorities are the inverse of the voters, who care about jobs and the economy, not rewarding foreign lawbreakers.
Hopefully, our side, the majority of citizens who want their immigration laws enforced, can respond once more against powerful forces to defeat border and workplace anarchy.
Patriots will be phoning their legislators, writing letters to local paper, organizing protest, faxing using NumbersUSA — whatever they can do to save the country.
The hidden, immediate nature of the amnesty is that illegals will get their hearts' desire, a work permit, on day one after the bill's signing:
The work permit IS amnesty; "normalizing status" IS amnesty.
All the chatter about a "path to citizenship" is designed as a distraction, and is working so far.
Like the other failed amnesty of 1986, the current version promises enforcement in return for a trough of goodies for illegals. But Obama has already ended border security according to recent Congressional testimony and cannot be trusted to require even rudimentary policing.
And to stupid Republicans who hope that an amnesty will make hispanics like them — it won't. Repubs can never compete with Democrats on freebie handouts typical of the big government that hispanics favor for generations.
Besides that, second-generation immigrants grow up in a liberalized America, where the culture has been gradually transformed by the news media, Hollywood and much of the school system. As a result, the second generation has been indoctrinated toward Democrat values like big government, as reported by a recent Pew poll.
Back to the SOTU amnesty mobilization. Notice the emphasis on citizenship — unlike the illegal aliens themselves, the raza elites want them as voters to gain political power. (One example: of the 5.4 million legal Mexican immigrants, only 36 percent of the eligible have become naturalized, much lower than other groups.)
Mobilization for immigration reform after State of the Union, Voxxi.com, February 8, 2013
A pathway to citizenship will be at the forefront of several mobilization efforts being launched in the coming months as the president and Congress engage in moving forward on immigration reform.
Days before the president is expected to deliver his State of the Union (SOTU) speech, supporters for immigration reform have already begun announcing their campaigns. The administration took steps this week to assure the community they're committed in ensuring the 11 million persons who are undocumented that there will be immigration reform.
"We expect him to lay out a range of priorities including immigration reform," said Frank Sharry of America's Voice during a conference call in expectation of SOTU.
"Sometimes, in the past we breathlessly counted the number of words and where it was in his speech—to be honest the fact that he went to Las Vegas and threw down the way he did has really mobilized and motivated many of us in the immigration reform movement."
Said Sharry, "He has already proved that this is going to be his top legislative priority for the first six months of this year."
President Obama met with business leaders and immigration reform advocates
The president met with business leaders, labor unions and immigration reform advocates earlier this week at the White House to bolster support. The Obama administration indicated that the president would like to see immigration legislation in the next four to six weeks, according to the AP. After the meeting, several groups including the AFL-CIO, one of the largest labor unions, Casa de Maryland, and Center for Community Change have indicated that they will be involved in a nationwide lobbying effort that would take place in a dozen of cities.The president met with 16 leaders of immigration advocacy groups on Tuesday.
"We are excited that the momentum launched at hyper-speed in November's election is producing concrete movement. But requiring families to wait, as the Senate would have it, for the full implementation of E-Verify and militarization of the US border with unmanned drones is unfair and not acceptable," said Gustavo Torres, executive director of Casa de Maryland, in a statement.
"First indications from the House are even worse with Tuesday's enforcement-dominated hearing. This is why we need the President to lead."Some of the advocates contend that they will spotlight a pathway to citizenship as a priority, particularly in light of hesitancy from some Republicans to find a middle ground on citizenship. Groups such as America's Voice signaled that they are hoping to lobby in order to get legislation passed by the end of July.
AFL-CIO officially launched its campaign to pursue a full pathway to citizenship
AFL-CIO officially launched its campaign to pursue a full pathway to citizenship on Thursday. The campaign will be spotlighted in events across 14 cities with the first kicking off next week on Wednesday in Raleigh, North Carolina. The other cities include Las Vegas, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Anaheim, Calif., San Francisco, Miami, St. Paul, Minn., Phoenix, New York City and Chicago."What we are fighting for is the ability not for the government to close the doors to citizenship, but for you to be treated like everyone else today," said Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA). "I came to this country undocumented, I became a legal permanent resident, and then I made a choice and my choice was I want to become a citizen."
"And when I became a citizen, I had more voting power, I had a whole bunch of rights and those rights can't be negated to a whole population and so that's what we're fighting for," she added.
Among rising concerns for immigration reform supporters who want a pathway for citizenship are the costs and English language requirements. The Pew Research Hispanic Center noted that nearly two-thirds of the 5.4 million immigrants from Mexico who are eligible to become citizens of the United States have not yet taken that step.
Pathway to citizenship a hurdle
A pathway to citizenship is considered one of the most contentious elements that will be addressed this year in Congress, but that hasn't stopped supporters from signaling that they're bracing for a "heavy lift." On April 10, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) will hold a major rally near the U.S. Capitol, while smaller events will be held across the country the same day.The business community will also be hosting panels starting on Wednesday along with advocates of the faith and law enforcement community. The event will host Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, in support of immigration reform.
While efforts are expected to boost further momentum after SOTU, some analysts such as Sharry were quick to indicate that he doesn't expect the president to elaborate on immigration reform in this upcoming speech. In the past speeches, the president has used his words cautiously and sparingly reflecting a tone that mirrored the present environment in Congress in light of immigration reform.
In 2010, the president spoke of the need to continue to fix the broken immigration system and securing the border, while in 2012 he spoke more directly on behalf of the Dreamers.
"It's going to be not as extensive as Las Vegas because he's going to cover a range of topics," said Sharry.
"For a lot of us, the question was whether the post-election mandate for immigration reform was really translated to momentum and I think given the events of last week and the coming week, the answer seems to be a loud yes."

Can You Name the 2 States That Don't Observe Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Saving Time is upon us. Well, most of us.
Yes, this Sunday, March 12 at 2 a.m., we spring forward by moving our clocks ahead one hour. Why we have to do it at 2 a.m. is a mystery. After all, most people are sleeping, except for all those rabble-rousers enjoying a late Saturday evening of chicanery. But we digress.
And while most of the country will take part (it is a law, after all, and you don't want the cops to bust down your door for failing to change your clock), two states are all like, "Nah, we're cool."
Yes, Arizona and Hawaii don't observe it (although the Navajo Nation in Arizona does) because states are allowed to opt out and these two are either okay with the amount of sunlight they have or are just too lazy to take the few seconds to adjust their clocks, although to be fair, have you ever tried figuring out how to do that in your car? It's harder than learning stick.
The roots of Daylight Saving Time (and it is Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight Savings Time) go all the way back to the grandfather of ideas, Benjamin Franklin, who may or may not have been serious about setting clocks back to save candles. While giving B-Fran credit is a neat and tidy way to explain it, history now suggests a man named George Hudson may have been the brains behind DST.
The idea really got going in the U.S. in 1918 and then Congress made it a permanent thing in Uniform Time Act of 1966 in an attempt to conserve energy by prolonging daylight. That sounds all fine and dandy, but no one is going to be happy Sunday morning when they get one fewer hour of shut-eye. There's also the matter that moving the clock ahead is bad for your health.
Good or bad, Daylight Saving Time is here this weekend. But all you wannabe vampires, take heart. The clocks will go back one hour on November 5.

James Shore's post in 2006, "Quality With a Name" summarizes clearly what I try and express and practice in my systems design work.
This is something to not only read and bookmark, but print out to remind folks who are building systems what exactly is good software design.
A good software design minimizes the time required to create, modify, and maintain the software while achieving acceptable run-time performance.
If you're interested how a number systems I've helped design have had such long lives and have grown from small teams to support large ecosystems, "Quality With a Name" is a great place to start
Recently he gave a presentation on evolutionary design that is a good watch.
I'm looking forward to seeing his presentation at Philly's Emerging Technologies Conference.

YA Fantasy
Date Published: July 5, 2017
When her parents are condemned to death by Morgan Fay for the crime of reading, Arti Penderhagen becomes a fugitive. Hunted by Mordred, the sadistic police captain who recites poetry to enhance his physical strength, Arti escapes to the Isle of Avalon, a sanctuary for outlaws. There she meets an old librarian named Merl who tells her about the Grail Tome, an ancient book in Morgan Fay's possession that can alter the course of history. Can Arti steal the book in time to save her family?
The fire crept across the floor, devouring paper and carpet, gaining momentum as it spread. A thick, black smoke filled the room, rolling over itself like a storm cloud, ravenous flames growling hungrily as they climbed. A moment later, there was another sound: a deep, drum-like thudding, barely audible above the burning tempest. A lower section of the shelf separated from the wall, and a row of hard covers slapped the floor. More books cascaded to the carpet, and a groping hand emerged.
The girl coughed violently, retching as she labored to breath amid the thickening blanket of smoke. She squeezed out from behind the book case, reaching back to pull a duffel bag from the cavity, pushing aside the dish, cup, and utensils her father had cast into the void in the rush to hide her. The bag held provisions, preparations made for a day they prayed would never come.
Making sure her vidlink was in her pocket, she lifted the hood of her sweatshirt and with eyes clenched shut, crawled across the floor, dragging the duffel bag. Scalding heat seared her throat as she gasped for air, her face and hands feeling like they were on fire. Gulping a mouthful of acrid smoke, an intense wave of nausea washed over the girl, and she fell against the wall of books. She was helpless now, certain she was going to die.
As the firestorm raged, her mind floated away from the horror. She was a young child again, sitting on her father's lap, following his finger as it traced words on the page. She giggled and squirmed with excitement as the story unfolded, peeking ahead, eager to find out how the tale would end. Her mother leaned toward her from the adjacent chair, her smiling face awash in the light of the reading lamp. This is our secret, Arti. You can't tell anyone. She could hear herself answer, I promise.
When the story was done, she reached across with her tiny hand and closed the book's cover. She smiled up at her parents expectantly, waiting to say the ritual words together. And they lived happily ever after.
From somewhere in the cloud of her delirium, Arti Penderhagen heard the books on the shelves call to her, drawing her back to the present. Words echoed from their pages, guiding her hand along their bindings, showing her the way out.

Apply today: 3000 € fellowship for excellent students
Admission deadline for fall: April 30.
We will award a limited number of waived tuitions and an additional 3000 € for excellent students.
The Program
Goal and Content of the Program
Universal Computing covers the breadth and depth of computing: From the deep foundation of computing in logic and mathematics to the numerous exciting and permanently evolving new applications in all areas of science, technology, industry, and society.
The Johannes Kepler University, a young (1967) campus-based university in the center of Europe, is the place where such an ambitious view can be implemented thoroughly: Over a hundred professors of mathematics, informatics and related areas excel in a wide range of research and teaching.
The program is organized by RISC (Research Institute for Symbolic Computation), an institute of the JKU with high international research reputation and a long tradition and experience in organizing both international study programs as well as cooperation programs with the industry. The founding chairman of RISC, Professor Bruno Buchberger, is also the mastermind and head of the "Universal Computing and Business" master's program.
The international "Universal Computing and Business" master's program is organized in a flexible way such that international students with a bachelor in mathematics or informatics (or related areas like information technology, business informatics, mechatronics etc.) can enter the program and obtain a Master of Science Degree according to the EU-norm.
The study and working language in this program is English.
Typically, we compose an individual study plan for each student depending on the past course work and the interests and future career goals of the applicant.
We motivate all students, in addition to pursuing their specialization area, to acquire a broad and deep understanding of computing ("Universal Computing") including the business aspect of computing as the central and universal source of current and future industrial innovation. For this, we offer numerous possibilities to do the master thesis project in close cooperation with companies and research institutes, in particular also within the Softwarepark Hagenberg, a spin-off of RISC.
In principle, this master's program comprises four semesters with minimum 140 ECTS points (which is slightly more than the EU standard, since we offer and request a couple of extra general courses like "Working Techniques for Scientists" and "Entrepreneurship Training".
A bachelor degree (with 180 ECTS) in computer science, math or a related subject is the prerequisite for entering our master. Bachelor graduates who had fewer hard-core courses in computer science and math than 180 ECTS, might need to spend an extra semester in our master program.
Conversely, students who graduated from a bachelor or diploma study with more than 180 ECTS or who already earned extra ECTS after their bachelor at their previous university may be eligible to enter at the second or third semester of our master's program.
The possible specialization areas in the frame of the Universal Computing and Business master's program are numerous. They reflect the broad range of expertise of our faculty and adjust to the quickly evolving trends in computing, for example: machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, automated reasoning, natural language processing, cognitive computing, natural language reasoning, heuristic algorithms, pervasive computing, internet of things, big data, cloud computing, web technology, mobile computing, knowledge management, data bases, business intelligence, software verification, testing, model based programming, software engineering, image processing, computer graphics, virtual reality, augmented reality, robotics, medical informatics, bio informatics, mathematical modeling, simulation, financial mathematics, industrial mathematics, educational software, computer algebra, numerical computation, symbolic computation, algorithm theory, formal methods, abstract state machines, complexity theory, mathematical logic, model checking, mathematical knowledge management, universal computing software systems, …
We offer a lively open community for our students in the "International Graduates Club" and provide individual coaching for all phases of the study including the application phase and the phase of transition to professional life and / or PhD study.
Due to the great success of the program in the past ten years (with over 150 graduates who now excel in their jobs at the industry or as PhD students), the number of study places will now be raised to max. 50 per year. Applications for study places and a limited number of scholarships are processed within the ranking on a first-come, first-served basis.

PREP WORK – Clean the joints and Vacuum the grout lines, then scrape any protruding grout using a stiff putty knife and vacuum again. Don't scrape too hard or you may chip the tile glazing on your how to grout tile project.
TAPE OFF THE TILE BEFORE GROUTING - For easier cleanup, tape off painted walls to protect them from grout. Also tape off trim or inset tiles that feature imprinted patterns with crevices.
MIX THE GROUT BY HAND - Mix the grout with a margin trowel until all the powder is dissolved. Roll the bucket frequently while mixing. Scrape the bottom to make sure all the grout is mixed.
A TILER'S BEST FRIEND - Margin trowel is used for mixing grout and thin-set, scraping out joints, cleaning buckets and tools, spreading mayonnaise, flipping pancakes, etc. Mix your grout to the consistency of creamy peanut butter.
LOAD THE GROUT FLOAT - Tip the bucket toward you. Drag some grout "up the slope," then scoop it onto the float. This technique is used by professionals which very useful.
REMOVING TILE GROUT - Simplify ceramic tile grout removal by using a carbide-grit blade in a reciprocating saw or an oscillating tool. Both speed up this tough, tedious chore.
SPREAD THE GROUT - Smear the grout diagonally across the tile to force it deep into the joints and prevent it from being sucked back out as your float slides along. Always grout the walls first for this how to grout tile project, and after they're finished, the floor. That'll keep you from messing up a finished floor.
CLEAN OFF EXCESS GROUT - Remove the bulk of the grout by wiping in a serpentine motion. This helps evenly distribute the grout and prevents the grout float edge from digging into grout lines.
SPONGE THE SURFACE - Sweep a damp (not wet!) sponge diagonally across the tile. Rinse your sponge often and repeat until you're left with a thin haze. Once the grout has started to harden (20 to 30 minutes), begin sponging. Don't use just any sponge, especially one from the kitchen; choose a "hydrophilic" (water-loving) sponge.
TOOL THE GROUT LINES - Depress the sponge with your index finger and smooth out high or uneven grout lines. Don't push too hard. Your goal of this how to grout tile project is grout joints all the same shape and depth.
TOWEL OFF THE HAZE - After the grout film has dried, polish away the haze with a cotton towel or, better yet, a microfiber towel. After all the joints have been dressed, step away for about a half hour to let the surface dry and form a haze
KEEP SOME GROUT FOR REPAIRS - It's a good idea to hold on to a small quantity of unused grout for future touch-ups as you discover how to grout tile.
CAULK ALL INSIDE CORNERS - Use a grouting caulk on inside corners after grouting and cleaning.

Actual news:
Message from Prime Minister Naoto Kan Regarding Assistance Received from Overseas
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
I would like to express my most sincere appreciation for the condolences and assistance Japan has received from approximately 130 countries, more than 30 international organizations, and people all around the world in response to the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake.
The rescue workers, search dogs, and nuclear power experts from various countries, as well as the human resources support from the U.S. Forces in Japan and others, assistance with food, medical supplies, blankets, and other supplies, and offers of assistance from over 670 NGOs and other organizations have all been profoundly uplifting to the Japanese people, who have come to realize acutely that "a friend in need is a friend indeed."
Japan faces an unprecedented crisis, in which an incident at a nuclear power plant has transpired in addition to the enormous earthquake and tsunamis. I firmly believe that, receiving such cooperation from the members of the international community, the Japanese people will mobilize their wisdom to recover from these challenging circumstances through their collective efforts and thereby successfully overcome this trying time.
On behalf of the Japanese people, I would like once again to express my deepest appreciation upon having received this truly tremendous outpouring of cordial assistance from around the world.
Naoto Kan
Prime Minister of Japan
