A appellation allowance plan is the purest anatomy of a activity allowance policy. Here, the sum insured is paid to the appointee if afterlife occurs to the insured being during the appellation of the policy. In the blessed bearings that the insured survives the appellation of the policy, annihilation is payable in a lot of cases. In that sense, a appellation allowance is conceptually agnate to a continued appellation motor allowance policy. There are assertive appellation allowance articles area the exceptional is alternate to the policyholder if he (s) survives the action period. These behavior are alleged Appellation With Exceptional Back policies, and would acutely bulk added than a authentic appellation for the aforementioned akin of activity insured.
The basal cold abaft a appellation allowance action is that it should acting the banking blow that the afterlife of a being creates for his ancestors members. Appropriately by definition, a appellation allowance action is acute for a adolescent man affiliated with adolescent children, admitting it ability be beneath important for a man on the border of retirement with a cogent basin of accumulation and accouchement able-bodied settled. There are ten important factors that one should attending at afore purchasing a appellation allowance policy
1. Akin of sum insured: A ample aphorism of deride is 15 times the anniversary assets if one is beneath than 40 years of age, 10 times the anniversary assets if one is amid 40 and 45, and 5 times the anniversary assets if one is 45 or more. If you accept a cogent apartment loan, you should accept that accommodation covered through an added acclaim activity allowance plan, area the allowance aggregation would achieve the accommodation outstanding with your coffer if there is a death. Another access is Sum Insured = (total loans outstanding+ bulk appropriate for children's apprenticeship and wedding) + (average anniversary burning accompanying amount ) *10. One should aswell buck in apperception that one's earning abeyant and costs are acceptable to access through the years, and that we accept a top amount of aggrandizement which will continuously abrade value. Rs 50 lakhs today ability attending like a tidy sum, but twenty years afterwards it ability not be cogent at all.
2. Continuance of the policy: The adolescent you are, the best should be the continuance of the action that you purchase, synchronizing it with retirement age or the age at which one's banking liabilities would a lot of apparently reduce. A aphorism of deride that can be acclimated is that the appellation of the action should be according to Desired Retirement age – Current age.
3. When should I buy: The best time to buy a appellation allowance plan is NOW. This is because appellation affairs get added big-ticket as one gets older. The bigger blow is that one ability arrangement assertive diseases with time which makes access into a appellation plan added complicated. The insurer ability debris to accede the blow or bang up the premiums if you accept appear any medical condition. Future is ambiguous while the banking liabilities are predictable, and abrogation abaft a set of crippling banking liabilities for one's dependants is capricious and avoidable.
4. Should I buy added aegis through Riders: Riders for an allowance action are agnate to the added toppings on a pizza. A authentic allowance action pays out alone on death. But there can be situations such as a analytical affliction or a astringent blow which can absolutely annihilate one's earning power. Riders such as Analytical Affliction riders or Permanent Absolute Disability riders appear to the accomplishment here. These riders ensure that the sum insured is paid out to the policyholder in case any of these adverse situations occur.
5. Who should I buy from: At the end of the day, an allowance arrangement is a arrangement of assurance amid the activity insured and the allowance company. You should buy your action from anyone who you feel will honour the arrangement the best at the time of the claim. You can accept a attending at the IRDA website for the affirmation transaction ratios of the activity allowance companies. Estimates appearance that in 2011, about 16000 activity allowance claims will be rejected. Amount is aswell a actual important variable. Appellation allowance ante accept appear down decidedly over the endure two years because of amount antagonism and added activity expectancy. Thus, you accept a advanced best of 20+ insurers from whom you can buy. Attending about aggressively for the aggregation alms a allotment of the everyman prices. Companies such as Aegon Religare, ICICI Prudential, MetLife and Kotak Activity accept the cheapest rates.
6. Area should I buy from: Given that appellation allowance ante can alter by added than 50% amid altered companies, it is important that you do a absolute analysis afore buying. Your affable adjacency abettor ability not be the best being to await on for admonition due to two reasons- the plan he recommends ability be way too expensive, and it is a lot of acceptable that he will try and advance you appear affairs some added artefact area his agency is higher. Appellation articles accept low commissions for the agents. Over the endure two years, appellation allowance ante accept com down by 40%-50% due to added antagonism and lower bloodshed rates. In our view, the best abode to buy a appellation allowance artefact is online because of the afterward reasons:
You can calmly analyze the appearance and amount of the altered appellation allowance plans
It is fast and simple- would not yield added than 10 minutes.
Medical tests and all added affidavit would be abiding for by the allowance aggregation at home itself
Assertive companies such as Aegon Religare, MetLife and ICICI Prudential accept absolute articles alone for online sales area the commissions are lower, and appropriately the artefact is cheaper than offline products. Sometimes, the online adaptation ability be cheaper than the offline alternative by as abundant as 30%!
Online articles will progressively get cheaper than offline articles as the client contour of online behavior will accept a lower blow rating
You can calmly pay the exceptional through acclaim agenda or through net banking
Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) estimates that about Rs 600 crores of allowance exceptional was paid online in 2010. While a allotment of that would be face-lifting premiums, a cogent block of that would be new appellation and bloom allowance behavior bought online.
7.What advice should I disclose: It is acute that you acknowledge all the accordant advice truthfully. Even a baby bisected accuracy ability be abundant arena for the allowance aggregation to adios the affirmation later. You should accumulate the afterward factors in apperception while commutual the bend form:
a. Acknowledge your medical history in detail: Don't adumbrate anything. If you accept a above-mentioned disease, acknowledgment it clearly. In case of a afterlife which the allowance aggregation thinks is due to a non-disclosed pre absolute disease, the affirmation will be rejected. This is abnormally accurate in non- medical cases
b. Acknowledge your ancestors medical history too
c. If you smoke or drink, accompaniment that clearly. Aswell accompaniment your concrete ambit accurately- height, weight etc
d. Accompaniment your assets and activity accurately. If your activity exposes you to college blow (eg armed forces, mining etc), do accompaniment it clearly
e. Acknowledgment acutely any added allowance behavior that you ability have
f. Make abiding that you abide 18-carat copies of PAN Agenda details, bearing certificate, assets affidavit etc
g. Try and ample up the bend anatomy yourself and do not leave it to the agent
8. Multiple allowance policies: It is bigger to accept two allowance behavior of say Rs 25 lakhs anniversary than to accept one action of Rs 50 lakhs. In this way, you can accept the advantage of continuing with a lower awning if at some point you accept a bargain appellation allowance need
9. Who should be the action beneficiary(s): The ancestors associates who would be the a lot of afflicted in case of your annihilation should be the beneficiaries. In a lot of cases, it would be the spouse, accouchement or parents. You could aswell admeasure altered percentages of the sum insured to the beneficiaries e.g 50% to the apron and 50% to the parents
10. Authentic Appellation allowance or accumulation accompanying allowance products: The primary cold of activity allowance is to accommodate banking aegis to the nominees. It is alone afterwards the aegis bend has been completed covered through a appellation allowance plan that one needs to attending at architecture up accumulation or investment through a activity allowance policy

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
An Italian reporter who entered the Gaza Strip following the recent Israeli assault on Hamas there wrote in his newspaper on Thursday that the casualty figures announced by Hamas and so eagerly passed on by the UN, Red Cross and foreign media were grossly exaggerated.
At most, five or six hundred Palestinians died in Gaza over the past month, according to Lorenzo Cremonesi, a correspondent for Italy's Corriere della Sera. The foreign media has carried numerous sources citing Hamas and UN officials claiming in excess of 1,300 killed.
But Cremonesi explained, "It is sufficient to visit several hospitals [in the Gaza Strip] to understand that the numbers don't add up." He noted that in nearly all of Gaza's major hospitals, and especially those in major conflict zones, he found most beds empty.
On top of that, Cremonesi reported that a doctor at Gaza City's Shifa Hospital who asked to remain anonymous for fear of Hamas acknowledged that the death toll had been inflated. He also told the reporter that many of the dead were "youths between the ages of 17 to 23 who were recruited to the ranks of Hamas and then sent them to the slaughter."
Cremonesi also wrote that Gazans he interviewed confirmed Israeli accusations of Hamas war crimes, especially the deliberate use of the civilian population as human shields.
When local Gazans demanded that Hamas and its allies not take up positions near them, one interviewee said the terrorists responded:
"Traitors, collaborators with Israel, spies of Fatah, cowards! The soldiers of the holy war will punish you. And in any case you will all die, like us. Fighting the Zionist Jews we are all destined for paradise. Do you not wish to die with us?"
Others recounted how Hamas gunmen had disguised themselves as paramedics and commandeered ambulances to avoid being targeted by the Israelis, and how UN facilities were in fact used as launch pads for rockets and mortar shells.

For the last few years, it has been a buyer's market. Low interest rates and home prices gave buyers the undeniable advantage. Sellers on the other hand, struggled to get top dollar for their non-distressed homes, often selling at a loss or having their homes sit on the markets for months and months.
Continue Reading Below
Frustrated by the slow and sometimes unfruitful process of selling their homes the traditional way, more homeowners have taken to selling their homes in a rather unconventional way: at auction.
Why sellers choose auctions
"We launched a special individual home sellers division in January 2012 because of the growing interest among sellers in the auction method," says Fontana Fitzwilson, executive vice president of Williams, Williams and McKissick, a real estate auction company in Tulsa, Okla. "The number one reason sellers like auctions is that they offer a time-definite method of sale."
Read: Is it time to take your home sale online?
In addition to appealing to homeowners who need to sell by a specific date, Fitzwilson says auctions also appeal to out-of-state family members who have inherited homes.
Stephen Karbelk, co-chairman and founder of AmeriBid, another real estate auction company in Tulsa, Okla., says the rising number of individual auction sales is also a function of financially savvy sellers.
"Sophisticated sellers understand the cost of carrying a property," says Karbelk. "Auction marketing offers a way to get your home in front of more people and forces people to make a bid by a certain date."
And it's not just distressed properties that are selling at auctions these days. Jennifer Leuer, senior vice president of Auction.com in Irvine, Calif., says non-distressed property auctions have become more popular this year because sellers like the transparency of the process.
"Sellers know they're getting preapproved buyers and non-contingent contracts," she says. "They also know they're getting the true market value for their property."
Auction.com recently started a residential auction division that sold $47 million in individual seller auctions between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 2012.
All property types sell at auctions
Auctions have become more popular across all types of markets and price ranges.
"In some markets, individual auctions are mostly a way to sell a unique property that needs to be showcased," says Karbelk.
Leuer says that while her company has recently focused on high-end properties, auctions run the gamut from small, single-family homes in rural areas to condos in big cities
"Auctions are a time-honored way to sell something when it's hard to evaluate the value," says Leuer. "We definitely see them at both ends of the home value spectrum, including in areas with low inventory."
6 advantages to selling at an auction
There are a few distinct advantages for homeowners who decide to sell at auction:
No. 1: Qualified borrowers: Auction buyers need to be prepared to pay cash or have confirmed financing prior to the auction. "You need a mortgage preapproval with a lender who can perform within the limited timeframe between the auction and the closing date," says Karbelk.
No. 2: Serious buyers with serious offers: Buyers have plenty of opportunity to do their due diligence on your property well before auction day. Since auction companies post extensive information about properties 30 to 45 days prior to the auction date, and typically hold several open houses and even allow you to schedule a private visit and bring your own home inspector, sellers know they're getting serious buyers with serious offers on auction day. Most auction companies hold a live auction and an online auction simultaneously.
No. 3: Fast closings: Buyers are typically required to close within 30 to 45 days after the auction sale.
"Sellers understand that while they own the property, they need to keep making tax payments, insurance payments, utility payments and mortgage payments," says Fitzwilson. "A quick closing stops those payments."
No. 4: No appraisal issues: Since the buyer and seller have agreed to the price at an auction without negotiations, appraisers typically agree that the final price is the fair market value on that day and at that time.
"An appraiser will usually appraise an auctioned property at or above the final bid, so that's clearly the fair market value," says Karbelk.
No. 5: Lower real estate commissions: Most auction companies charge a "buyer's premium" of 5 to 10% of the final price of the home, says Leuer. This premium goes to the auction company to pay for marketing and other expenses. The seller will usually pay a small commission to the buyer's agent if there is one, but many auction buyers do not work with a Realtor.
No. 6: No contingencies: Your home will be sold "as is, where is," so you won't be expected to paint your walls or fix a leaky faucet before the closing.
Auctions aren't for everyone
While enlisting a real estate agent and selling the traditional way could mean that your home could sit on the market for months, it can open your home up to a wider pool of buyers if you engage in open houses and individual showings.
Often, sellers want complete control over the price they get for their home rather than leaving it up to an auction. Some sellers may prefer to see what buyers will offer for their home before deciding to sell at all, so a traditional sales method could be better than committing to an auction.

Senate Race Heats Up
As a resident of Montana — one of the least populated states in the country — sometimes I can't help but feel like my vote doesn't count on a national level.
When I was a student at the University of Montana, I had a front-row seat for the hype surrounding the 2008 presidential election. There were Obama buttons, T-shirts and bumper stickers everywhere I turned, and I couldn't walk across campus without at least five people trying to hand me a voter registration packet.
When it came down to it, though, the presidential race was pretty much decided before the Montana votes had even been counted, making election night sort of anti-climactic for all of the local campaigners who worked so hard to encourage voter participation, especially among young people.
This coming fall, however, Montanans should have extra motivation to hit the polls. According to political experts, the 2012 election cycle could be the most important one our state has seen in quite some time.
A recent report by the Washington-based publication "Politico" ranked Montana's U.S. Senate race as the most competitive contest in the nation, with current Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester facing a formidable opponent in challenger U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg, who has served in Congress since 2001. Recent polls have shown the two candidates in deadlock.
You've probably already seen a slew of TV attack ads targeting both candidates, and they will only become more prevalent — and, if you ask me, annoying — the closer we get to Nov. 6.
The elections to fill the House seat being vacated by Rehberg and the governorship (Brian Schweitzer has hit his term limit) should also draw plenty of interest.
So even if you tune out the media slugfest, get to know the candidates and the issues. Election Day will sneak up on us before we know it, and you don't want to miss out on an opportunity to truly have your vote count.

Unfortunately it's not very actively developed, though they "recently" (last year) updated their stack to the e1000 (intel Giga ethernet) NIC.

POMONA, Calif. -- Courtney Force raced to victory in Funny Car at the NHRA Winternationals and defending Top Fuel world champion Antron Brown walked away from a fiery crash with only minor injuries on Sunday.
Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel) and Vincent Nobile (Pro Stock) were also winners at the Drag Racing Series season opener at Auto Club Raceway at Pomona.
Force powered her Ford Mustang past Ron Capps' Dodge Charger with a pass of 4.025 seconds at 317.12 mph to claim her second career victory.
The race was delayed for approximately 90 minutes for track cleanup after Brown's dragster went out of control and crashed after crossing the finish line in the second round of eliminations. The car's engine seemed to burst into flames and the dragster slid into a retaining wall.
Brown managed to get out of the wreck under his own power.

Admissions & Financial Aid After Wabash
Wabash prepares young men to meet their futures with intelligence, confidence, and clarity of purpose. A Wabash education brings out the best in young men through its rigor, and a community of mentors and friends—from faculty and staff to peers and alumni—provide the system of support for students to rise to the Wabash challenge. The Schroeder Center for Career Development, ranked 8th in the country, helps students identify and execute plans to become productive and fulfilled men after Wabash.
The outcomes of Wabash men are impressive. Wabash has the #1-ranked Alumni Network in the country, and the College's Internship Program is ranked third nationally. Wabash graduates are accepted to medical and law schools at nearly twice the national average. In the last five years, Wabash graduates have earned impressive fellowships, including Rhodes, Fulbright, and Gilman scholarships. And 98% of the graduates in the Class of 2017 were settled in their chosen plans six months after graduation.
Wabash alumni also represent incredible diversity in their careers. They become doctors, lawyers, scientists, teachers, executives, and entrepreneurs. They attend some of the best graduate and professional schools in the world. They work in major corporations or launch their own startups. But from diversity comes a shared Wabash experience: a commitment to the liberal arts, distinctive opportunities to lead, and the lifelong Wabash brotherhood.
Unapologetic Liberal Arts
When a doctor understands the values of his patient, when a lawyer uncovers surprising analogies between cases, when a scientist identifies the social consequences of his research, when a businessman makes a 10-page proposal more persuasive in two pages—these men execute the virtues and skills of a liberal arts education. A Wabash education develops a young person's ability to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely; it makes the enrichment and development of the whole person the highest priority.
The whole person learns to understand himself, others, and his world, and take responsibility for his actions. A Wabash liberal arts education positions a young man for a life of earned achievement, prodigious integrity, broad understanding, and personal fulfillment.
Opportunities to Lead
At the heart of leadership lies the ability to motivate action in others with a shared vision. In academics, athletics, and extracurricular activities, Wabash students have the opportunity to lead and to collaborate with others in their own visions. The closeness and flexibility of the Wabash community ensures that new clubs and organizations come into existence with ease; established organizations depend on newer students to rise to leadership. Students leave Wabash with the ability to make an impact in their organizations, their communities, and their fields of interest.
Wabash Career Services
The professionals at the nationally ranked Schroeder Center for Career Development understand and amplify the Wabash experience. Career Services offers a full range of services designed to help students prepare for and compete successfully in their post-Wabash lives. Our staff works with students preparing for and seeking on-campus employment, internships, careers, fellowships, entrepreneurial ventures, and graduate school admissions. Students can discover their interests and goals, carve out a career path, network with alumni, employers, and graduate school representatives, and create their own personal success plan. We provide the tools, resources and connections. To ensure success, students provide the participation. And these services extend to alumni for life.

Leave it to George Clinton. This sleazy track (featuring Vanessa Williams) and its dynamite video will sho nuff put a smile on your face. Judging by George's face at 00:52, ladies in mismatched layers make his brain cease activity, and, judging by his pick-up lines, particularly in the linguistic department.
But does it make me question using him as my "historical figure who inspires you the most" during job interviews? Not for a second.
Oh, Georgie, one day we will frolic in a giant chocolate milkshake together, our souls funking as One.

Frontier Flies on Work-Management SoftwareBy Bob Violino | Posted 2009-06-24 Print
The airline uses collaborative work-management software to navigate through turbulent times.
See our slideshow on this topic.
Frontier Airlines Holdings Inc., operator of Frontier Airlines, has had to navigate through turbulent times recently: a bankruptcy filing in 2008, depressed domestic travel, and layoffs. To help manage operations during these challenges, the Denver, Colo., company is relying on collaboration software that it procures via the software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model.
The airline is using SaaS collaborative work management software from Seattle-based Daptiv Inc. to prioritize and track initiatives that help it manage through the difficult times.The application enables better collaboration across departments, so Frontier can oversee essential projects at a time when its workforce is smaller because of layoffs.
Frontier uses the Daptiv software to manage day-to-day projects, providing visibility and accountability across functions and roles in areas such as finance, human resources, flight and station operations, marketing, maintenance and engineering, and inflight services.The software has helped Frontier—the second largest carrier out of Denver International Airport, with an average of 350 daily departures and arrivals—juggle key projects despite layoffs of IT staff.
About 100 full-time employees in IT manage the network, servers, applications and help desk activities that support the company's operations. Many technology initiatives are driven by departments such as finance, human resources and maintenance and engineering and supported by IT, but with no centralized oversight.
Prior to the implementation of the work management software, senior managers were concerned that IT performance, in light of the reduced staff, was affecting the status of projects. Work demand was far exceeding capacity. In addition, there was disorder with projects due to a lack of accountability, visibility and structure.
Managers weren't sure if resources were being optimized and if the right projects were being prioritized.The Frontier IT management team realized they had "little control or visibility into what were the true priorities, andwhat the resources were working on," says CIO Gerry Coady.
In early 2007, the company determined that it needed to alter processes, technology and personnel to better prioritize IT projects. It created a Project Management Office (PMO) to take responsibility for creating a structure to standardize project management processes and facilitate IT project portfolio management.
"We put several formal processes in place to help structure the PMO," Coady says. "That includes how projects get into the pipeline, how they get weighted and prioritized and more importantly, how they get funded and resourced. All projects that require any IT resource must go through this process."
One key aspect of prioritizing IT projects was to identify and implement a portfolio management tool that would provide a single source of information on all projects. Frontier evaluated products from a number of vendors, and with help from a local consulting company, selected Daptiv's offering on the basis of cost, implementation speed and functionality.
Another key factor was that Daptiv offered its software as a service, providing cost benefits that were attractive to a company looking to control expenses. Coady, who joined Frontier as CIO in May 2007, and Tom Hortman, PMO manager, reviewed all the proposals and decided that SaaS "was the fast-track to getting up and running, as well as being most affordable for us a company," Coady says.
Managers now use the software, called Daptiv PPM, on a weekly basis to monitor high priority, in-progress projects. Daptiv PPM's tasks and time-sheet functionality help manage about 10,000 actual hours of effort per month applied to different tasks.
Among the key early benefits of the work management software was a vastly streamlined project status report process, giving the company immediate insights into costs and progress across the enterprise. The company now has much greater visibility into IT projects and portfolios.
"The main benefit was transparency and control over what people worked on," Coady says. "Before [deploying the software], the projects and resources were managed via spreadsheets, and a lot of time and resources went into 'spreadsheet management'", which was frustrating to business users. The workforce management application gave company managers not only visibility into projects being worked on, but a true enterprise view of work in progress, he says.
"From an IT perspective, we can now focus on the executive approved priorities, and focus on execution rather than spreadsheet management," Coady says.

When the form book went out of the window - and the big clubs didn't get their way
You can't take anything for granted when you're chasing glory. As title-chasers face drop-dodgers and mid-tablers, Gary Parkinson looks at past "shock" results that have ended the big boys' dreams...
We are part of The Trust Project What is it?
Steven Gerrard might have been a bit over the top when demanding Liverpool treat Norwich as the best team in the world, but those up the glamorous end of the table can't take wins for granted against the smaller fry – as Everton and Man City found out in midweek. That got us thinking about other times the minnows had bitten the sharks...
Wigan 1-0 Man United (11/04/12)
With six games to go, Wigan were second-bottom while United were eight points clear. Moreover, in seven top-flight seasons Latics had faced United 14 times, including the 2006 League Cup final, and lost them all, shipping 46 goals ands scoring four (only one in the last nine attempts).
So obviously Roberto Martinez's team triumphed, Shaun Maloney's 50th-minute winner vaulting Athletic out of the drop zone, whence they would not return: United lost the title on goal difference. The following season the enraged Red Devils beat Wigan 4-0 home and away, but they wouldn't have been facing Latics had Maloney not made history.

By giving your test team the ability to optimize for client needs, you can transform test from a roadblock into a competitive edge for your business.
Understand the cost drivers of your test organization to stay ahead of constantly shrinking budgets and schedules.
Test is much more than a technical exercise. It is a critical business function. Use total cost of ownership to fully characterize the importance of test when asking for budget and winning new business.
Basing test systems on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology offloads burdensome part maintenance and obsolescence management, so you can use your expertise to produce state-of-the-art aerospace and defense assets instead of building custom test-rack components.
Reduce the operational costs of aging automated test systems through distributed system and data management strategies.
Operations and maintenance make up most of the lifetime cost of a test set, so your engineering teams should plan to minimize them from the start.

Ah the joy of watching movies in the summer! Of course, there are a number of summer blockbusters coming out that will woo crowds to the theaters, but with the sky-high prices of theater tickets these days, nobody will fault you for wanting to stay home and kick back with a rental. If you're looking for a film that will entertain and inspire you, consider adding some of these excellent films about social change to your online queue. If you have any other films to add to this list, please contribute your favorites in the comments section below. (To read more of my film reviews, check out my monthly column in Sojourners magazine.)
Gandhi: The film doesn't delve deeply enough into Gandhi as an individual, but is required viewing for anyone who wants to see an epic about a nonviolent movement that changed the world.
Milk: A moving reflection on the life, death and legacy of Harvey Milk. Not simply a gay rights movie, but a film about social movements and the cost to the individuals who lead them.
A Short Film About Killing: Polish director Krystof Kieslowski announced himself as one of cinema's greatest poets with his series of films based on the Ten Commandments, The Dekalog. His response to "Thou Shalt Not Kill", this film is a story about a murder and the capital punishment meted out to the perpetrator that was so powerful, it led to the abolition of the death penalty in his home country.
Saving Private Ryan/Munich: Spielberg's films about the Second World War and the Middle East conflict; one helped war veterans open up about the trauma of their fight, the other bravely states that violence only begets violence, and no matter how just the cause, taking human life costs more than movies usually like to say.
The Battle of Algiers: A documentary-style drama about colonialism and struggling against it. Both the indigenous activists and the colonialists are shown to have their reasons, and the horror of what is often meant by "repression" on the one hand, and "freedom fighting" on the other is clear.
The Up Series: Filmed in seven-yearly bursts since the early 1960s, Michael Apted's documentary series is a unique record of life in the past half century; the nature-nurture debate; and the question of what makes a meaningful life.
Lone Star: John Sayles explores the necessity of ethnic reconciliation in the U.S. through a complex thriller narrative on the Texas/Mexico border. His answer to the question of how to move on from our preoccupation with violent conflict? "Forget the Alamo."
Field of Dreams: Not an obvious film about social change -- but if the basic unit of society is the family (whatever size or shape), then healing family wounds might be one of the keys to peace in the rest of the world. And you can't watch Field of Dreams without wanting to have a better relationship with your parents!

Smaller restrictors (like 5.0, 5.5, 6.0) help increase fuel mileage, which translates into longer run times between pit stops. Reducing the number of pit stops over the course of a main event could mean the difference between winning and finishing off the podium! They are also an effective way to reduce power output and improve drivability on low-grip or blown-out track surfaces.
Each restrictor is sold individually and features laser etching of the restrictor's size for easy identification.

In a global economy that has been plagued by troubles in the world's financial systems, the words "safe" and "bank" are rarely put together. The shakeup of banking systems around the world raises the question: "Which banks are the safe banks?" These rankings are being published first on CNBC.com.
For the past 18 years, Global Finance has produced a list of the World's 50 Safest Banks, and as the markets move away from their March lows, many banks remain a point of market uncertainty, and long-term safety is of key interest. This ranking of safe banks was created through the comparison of long-term credit ratings (from Moody's Standard & Poor's and Fitch) and analysis of total assets owned by the 500 largest banks in the world.
For ease of comparison, we've listed the highest ranking bank in each country, as well as key statistics for each country's banking system. The size of the banking system was determined by value of assets held by the country's banks. It may surprise you where the safest banks in the world are located... click ahead to find out!

In many ways, the Mac has come a long way since the days of the "not made here" mentality that Apple used to exhibit. For example: NuBus, nonstandard microphones, Ethernet and mouse connectors. All of these are examples of technologies that Apple has dropped in favor of standard technologies.
With the adoption of technologies such as USB, PCI, and IDE, we Mac users have been able to take advantage of the numerous low-cost mass-market products that are cross-platform. Donit like your Apple one-button mouse? Replace it with a 3-button mouse! Need a low-cost hard drive? Pop in an inexpensive IDE model that offers massive amounts of storage for very little money. Overall, itis a great time to be a Mac owner in terms of buying third-party products.
On the graphics card front, much has improved from the days of the thousand dollar cards marketed by RasterOps, Radiance and Newer Technologies. These days, users can purchase Macs with the latest graphic cards from chipset vendors ATI and NVIDIA. However, while new Macs feature some of the best "eye-candy" available, the after-market video card situation is far from heaven.
Although ATI and NVIDIA have done a good job of supporting the Mac market, we can still count on one hand the number of video cards for those who wish to upgrade their older video system. This is troubling because it is well known that Mac users tend to hold on to their machines longer than PC users. So, though the total Mac market might be small in comparison, the number of users who wish to improve their video performance should be an attractive market. One need only look at the history of CPU upgrades on the Mac to confirm this.
This situation only helps to reinforce the notion that "Macs are expensive and canit be upgraded." While we wait for PC video-giants ELSA and MSI to enter the Mac market, and perhaps open the floodgates to low-cost cards based on ATI and NVIDIA chipsets, we must consider what is available today. This article covers some of the facts I have learned in my quest to improve the video performance in my old desktop workhorse. I have refrained from providing links and site names, and specific "how-tos" on the subject because, as with game emulation, it is a subject that is in a "grey area."
I have a G4 (Sawtooth) 400MHz Macintosh that has an AGP slot. This machine came stock with a Rage128. A friend gave me his Radeon after he upgraded to a newer ATI card. The Radeon enables Quartz Extreme in Mac OS X, and of course offers better performance over the stock Rage 128. Recently, the fan on this Radeon seems to be too loud. Having looked around town for a replacement fan, I came to the conclusion that it might be wiser to just upgrade the video card.
So having visited numerous sites, my options were: a new ATI card, a PC version of an ATI card, a used NVIDIA Mac card, or a PC version of an NVIDIA card.
For a new ATI card, the costs would start at around US$160 and up. The newest cards from ATI are great, but far too much power for my humble Mac, which I intend to hold onto for just two more years. The 9000 card seemed like the one to get, but as I mentioned, this card sells for over US$160. A better option for my machine was the ATI 8500, however it is now EOF (End-of-Life) and very hard to locate. You might be able to find them on auction sites, but most likely marked up too high. I havenit come across any NVIDIA cards outside of auction sites.
That leaves us with the final two options -- flashing either an ATI or NVIDIA PC card to work on a Mac.
In a nutshell, most cards are made to a certain spec as outlined by the chipset maker, i.e. ATI and NVIDIA. Located on the card is a ROM chip, just like the ROM in your Mac. Although not always the case, there are a few cards that are identical and sold to Mac and PC users. However, we poor Mac users must pay more money for the "Mac version" (makers claim this is due to driver development, etc.) and also get burnt in terms of software goodies. (PC cards tend to come bundled with a few games and apps.) As I said, some cards are identical, and what sets them apart is what is in the ROM.
Putting a PC card in your Mac -- even if it is an AGP card, and also has a Mac version of the same model -- will not work 9 out of 10 times, of course. Again, this is due to the differences between the ROMs. So what to do?
Hackers (not crackers!) have long learned how to "dump" the data from a ROM chip, and then copy the data to another cardis ROM chip. The result is that the target card will for the most part operate as the reference card that provided the ROM information.
It is important to realize, though, that you canit make a square peg fit in a round hole, and the same thing pretty much applies for flashing cards. For example, if the PC cardis model number is 1200VAGP, and there is a Mac card from the same maker with the model number 100VGP, even if they look somewhat the same, chances are, there is enough differences that it wonit work.
Related to this is the case of "improved" cards. For example, a PC card is numbered 966EVPro, and the Mac version is called 966E, those extra letters at the end of the PC card possibly point to special features, and thus flashing the Mac card with the PC cardis ROM will probably result in a non-working card.
Having spent a week with Google to track down various articles on flashing PC cards to work on the Mac, I will provide you with a summary of what I have learned. First, flashing is NOT for the faint of heart. Rushing in blindly, or buying the wrong item, could result in a card destined for the scrap heap.
Next, I want to mention that having successfully flashed a PC card to work on a Mac, may not bring happiness when Apple updates its OS, or the card maker updates its drivers. There is always the chance that future upgrades might render your card useless. In addition, many people feel that we need to support the card makeris extra expense in bringing us their cards, by purchasing the official Mac product.
I will leave those debates and warnings in your head and allow you to make your own decisions. For me, I would happily purchase a Mac card if a card maker offered me a low-cost solution. However, these days they seem to be focused on the high-end. Which is a shame because many Mac users tend to keep their machines for a long time, and are always looking for ways to squeeze another year from their machine.
And now for the options -- again, I focused on cards for my machine, a G4 AGP 400MHz Sawtooth model.
The first card that I examined was the ATI 8500. This model was made for the Mac and PC, and is an AGP card with good performance. The main difference is that the PC version has a DVI port versus the Mac versionis ADC port. Since I use a standard LCD with DVI connector, this is a non-issue to me. The 8500 comes in 3 versions: 64MB, 128MB and a "Wonder" version. Reports on flashing the 128MB model seem to have failed for the most part.
However, many users have reported good results with flashing 64MB models. Since I wasnit able to find information about flashing the Wonder version -- nor was I interested in its extra features -- I focused on the 64MB model. When shopping for them, you may see them marked as OEM, Retail, bulk, white-box, etc. Do some reading with the help of Google and you will get the low-down on what those terms mean. Some users also report that cheaper cards may not work well, due to slow memory or perhaps clock speeds. I admit that I havenit read up enough on this issue to pass along any advice, and I want to emphasize that you need to do your own research. As far as flashing the 8500, it seems to be pretty straightforward and there are some helpful guides, which you can find with Googleis help.
The next popular option that I have looked into is the NVIDIA GeForce2 chipset, also known as the GeForce MX, GeForce MX 200, and GeForce MX 400. These cards are a bit old by todayis standards and speed-wise, and would be about what my original Radeon offers. So why bother replacing a card with a model that wonit offer a noticeable difference in performance? As I mentioned earlier, my Radeonis chipset fan is as annoying as a mosquito. Iill consider this option simply as a way to reduce the noise!
Interestingly enough, these cards are very inexpensive and can be had for under $40. The downside is that finding one with DVI ports is nearly impossible. If you do find one that has DVI, it might be a GTS or Ultra model. From what I have read, it is best to only use a straight MX200 or MX400 model for flashing. Users with my machine (the G4 Sawtooth) who run Panther might want to read up on using a GeForce2 card, since recent reports point to a problem with this combination.
A step up from this GeForce2 is the GeForce4, or GeForce4 MX 440. This card also comes in various versions, like the "Ti" models. Articles on flashing mention very, very little success in flashing these cards. So I think they are to be avoided, despite being low-cost and offering better performance/features than the GeForce2 line.
In between, NVIDIA released a GeForce3 chipset. Cards based on that chipset seem very difficult to find, and a bit pricey. The ones I located also lacked a DVI port. I also read about questionable image quality with the GeForce3, but canit confirm it. However, there have been users who successfully flashed GeForce3 cards.
There are many new cards with ATI and NVIDIA chipsets. For example the ATI 9200, and 9600 can be found at many stores at very competitive prices. It seems that ATI has reduced the ability to use their PC cards in Macs by doing things like not allowing the entire ROM to be flashed, changing the ROM size, etc. (Macs need 128k, while many of the new PC cards only have 64k ROMs.) Iim not a tech, so I donit know the technical details as to why no one is flashing newer cards, though I did hear about someone flashing a 9800. To me, however, if you plan to spend that much for a PC ATI 9800, you might as well get a Mac 9800 to be on the safe side! I think flashing should be kept in the domain of the low-end cards, where Mac users have very little or no choice!
Apple has sold Macs with a fairly new NVIDIA card called the FX5200 Ultra. These cards are also sold for the PC. Performance isnit bad, and the cost is low. Now, we need some brave souls who can be the pioneers and provide us with their flashing experiences. If enough success is reported, then my eyes will shift from the PC ATI 8500 to the NVIDIA FX 5200-based cards!
Lastly, I want to state again that I am not a tech. Two weeks ago, I knew zero about the world of flashing video cards. With the help of Google and some great Mac sites, I was able to lurk and read many posts in various forums. The information in this article is a summary of my adventures to find a solution to improving my old Macis video performance without breaking the bank.
The last thing I thought I should note is that if you are upgrading an older Mac with a newer video card, make sure you match the card to your AGP slot. AGP currently comes in 2X, 4X, and 8X flavors; video cards come in corresponding designations. Most 4X cards will work in a 2x slot, and 8X cards often work in 4X slots, so just make sure the card you are getting will work in the AGP slot in your Mac.

As leaders from around the world gathered in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly, strengthening democracy was one of the most important topics on the agenda. Much of the work on this issue occurred in a series of meetings organized by the Community of Democracies (CD). When UN Secretary General Kofi Annan welcomed the creation of the Community of Democracies in 2000, he spoke about his hope that the CD would lead to a "renewed global commitment to making this century a century of democracies." Twelve years later, at a time when democratic transitions are taking place throughout the world, the CD is emerging as a key platform for governments and civil society organizations to work together to support democracy. The CD's agenda over the last few days covered everything from the use of technology to support transitions in Moldova and Burma to the challenge of restoring democratic rule in Mali.
On Sunday, September 23, I moderated a panel discussion with the Community of Democracies' Secretary General, senior diplomats from CD countries, and the Managing Director of DialCom at the Social Good Summit. We presented a groundbreaking CD initiative called the LEND Network. LEND -- which stands for Leaders Engaged in New Democracies -- is using technology to help people responsible for guiding democratic transitions connect with each other and exchange best practices in democratic governance. Participants in the Network include former presidents and prime ministers who have navigated the challenges of democratization and current leaders in emerging democracies. The project has received funding from Sweden and the United States, technology from companies including OpenText, Google, and DialCom-Spontania, and backing from civil society organizations such as the Club de Madrid.
On Tuesday, the Community of Democracies held its Fifth Governing Council meeting at UN headquarters. The Council got updates from CD Task Forces supporting transitions in Moldova and Tunisia and explored how to restore democratic rule in Mali. The CD also received reports from working groups focused on defending civil society, empowering women, and promoting democracy education. The CD has used its working groups to promote collaboration between partners inside and outside government on key challenges facing the world's democracies. Later in the day, 18 foreign ministers and leaders from dozens of other countries participated in a meeting of the UN's Democracy Caucus, first organized by the CD in 2004. CD meetings on Wednesday focused on how to support democratic reforms in Burma.
Within the CD, we often say that democracy is a road traveled -- not a destination. And as nations take that journey together, they have an opportunity to support each other along the way. The governments and civil society leaders that came together for the CD's meetings this week recognize that opportunity, and they are committed to working together to make this century a century of democracies.

I hosted it quick on photobucket, thats why it so sucks peach. I'll make a better one later. I assume its the pitstop in Estonia as thats what Sam and Dan are wearing plus there is that confessional with the Globetrotters in the web promo at the same location stating they were not going to let, the brothers I assume, take that cab away from them or something. I'm uploading a sports promo so can't check at the moment what exactly the Globetrotters said but the video is up a few pages back And Hooky ,,,,,, the Brothers MUST know if the Globetrotters are still in the race or not seeing as they clash on the way to the pitstop.
But here's the thing that actually doesn't make sense. Gary and Matt ARE an all male team, (unless we don't know something that they do...)

Gary and Matt ARE an all male team, (unless we don't know something that they do...)I would think that with "the other all-male team" Sam & Dan were just referring to another possible threat.
I also have that nagging feeling about the sighting in Prague.... G/M could have been decoys...but if so should NOT have been with M/C, are not usually at the PitStop at all, and it would be very unusual for a source to invent a pink-haired team.
Quote from: georgiapeach on November 14, 2009, 07:37:21 PMI also have that nagging feeling about the sighting in Prague.... G/M could have been decoys...but if so should NOT have been with M/C, are not usually at the PitStop at all, and it would be very unusual for a source to invent a pink-haired team.Someone went through a lot of trouble to fabricate the Masada supposed spoiler as well as the Mauritius fake spoiler.Meghan and Cheyne are seen working together to get to the roadblock Gary and Matt have a speedbump .. somewhere and then the detourIt appears Cheyne and Meghan arrive first at the mudpitfrom the eyewitness Brian/Ericka The Trotters and the Brothers arrive together at the detour, share the same cab ..and they all arrived earlier than anticipated, hours early.We don't know the other detour and if Brian and Ericka choose that? They could be first to the pitstop too?I think I see a team or teams being filmed behind Sam and Dan, assuming here that they have completed the detour and are on their way to the pitstop with the Trotters in tow.We lose Matt and Gary after their street scene in Tallin looking for a taxi probably. Not seen at the detour but doesn't mean they aren't there. And come on, wouldn' the male teams have an edge in the volleyball pit? My take is the way they are running they are racing for first place.just my 2 cents which could be completly off but its what I think and Gary and Matt, sadly are eliminated. All they need is a bad cab driver/bad directions to put them even farther behind.
There are two people in that shot...heading past the mudpit.I do agree that the other detour has to be very nearby, so always possible another (non-mud) team could come by as well??I have no idea if it is a team, or production, or random Estonian volleyballers. But if the PitStop IS the Watchtower, they may be heading that way...
Okay TAR historians, have we ever had a NEL followed immediately by a TBC? Could TPTB be trying to shake things up this year?
I'm watching the videos over and over and can't see where peach sees the TWO people in that video. peach you could take screenshots, have at it
SO trying to think this through...and I am just speculating so feel free to tell me if/where I go astray:Matt/Gary are not seen at the ferry. Is that because they had already gone thru before primefun arrived?? Or did they come through after he left to go chase the teams. That could be the difference between first and last at that point. Have asked primefun which he thinks is more likely, hope to hear.Primefun saw Gary/Matt in PIKK street first, clue in hand already, right? SO presumably after Matt had done the RB. He had time to chase them for a bit, before returning to the Blackhead house and starting to follow M/C, D/S, and B/E. SO at that point there was a fair bit of bunching.But if he saw G/M already with the clue before the other teams....does that imply that they were FIRST at that point?? If they slipped off the ferry before he arrived, it could be possible. NOTICE I AM NOT SAYING THIS IS FACT, just trying to cover all of our bases. But as puddin says, placement at that point doesn't really matter, a bad taxi could negate all lead they might possibly have had anyway. But then again, with a good taxi.... Just wondering.
This one I have played with as well...And I see a camera guy racing directly behing Nate...but cannot be clear about any other filming. I wonder if this is just the production "huddle" ?? There is one at every task...production, sometimes BVM, aides, in this case maybe extra volleyballers.... but there could be more going on re another team, I just can't be sure.ALL SPEC
Oh one more thing...I watched that video over and over again too...Suppose Herb didn't tackle Dan, just stepped into a hole (he kinda disappears, big splash) and takes Dan down accidentally too??
jerseydude...yes, that's what it looks like.Gator...scarlet and red is cameraguy I think??And I am trying to thingk the best of everyone here. I would much rather believe that it was just a "hole"-y accident, ...but I am not sure I can, based on our screencaps. But we'll see, the camera won't lie.
I do believe, and smell a penalty coming for FT/BE.. it seems as though they really did push Sam or Dan down. It was pretty foul play. Just replay the video a few more times and you'll realise that Sam/Dan was in first.. but FT or BE caught up and sort of grabbed/pushed them??
What if Flight Time says that Dan shoved him first justifying his actions? We do see FT go down first then he comes back to tackle Dan. I'm telling you I expect a slow motion replay at the pitstop

Fabricio Werdum and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira have named their coaching staffs for "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2."
The veteran UFC heavyweights recently were named head coaches for the upcoming reality show, which begins filming early next year for an expected March debut.
Some notable names are part of the coaching squads.
Team Werdum features Wanderlei Silva (MMA), Rafael Cordeiro (muay Thai), Rubens Cobrinha (jiu-jitsu), Kenny Johnson (wrestling) and Felipe Werdum (capoeira), according to a report from Globo.
Team Nogueira, meanwhile, features Luiz Dorea (boxing), Everaldo Penco (jiu-jitsu), Eric Albarracin (wrestling), Sheymon Moraes (muay Thai) and Vitor Miranda (kickboxing).
"TUF: Brazil" was the first international edition of the long-running reality competition series. The show, which featured coaches Silva and Vitor Belfort, debuted in March and aired on Globo in Brazil. In the U.S., the show streamed the same week on TUF.tv, and FUEL TV later carried it.
Following "TUF: Brazil 2," Nogueira and Werdum will fight in the traditional season-ending coaches' fight, though an exact date hasn't been finalized. That bout will be a rematch between the two; Nogueira beat Werdum by decision at a 2006 PRIDE event in the first round of an open-weight grand prix.
Nogueira, who also coached "TUF 8," is coming off a submission victory over Dave Herman at UFC 153 in Rio, though he hasn't posted back-to-back wins in nearly five years. Werdum returned to the UFC earlier this year after a 3-1 stint with Strikeforce, where he upset Antonio Silva and Fedor Emelianenko. He's now on a 5-1 run, including a TKO win over Mike Russow at UFC 147 in Brazil in June.
For more on "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2," stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.
(Pictured: Wanderlei Silva)
(UPDATED on 11/6/12 at 11:30 a.m. ET. According to Globo, Luiz Dorea has taken a coaching slot originally reserved for Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, who was forced off the show to prepare for his UFC 156 bout with Rashad Evans.)

Twist, Stretch, And Repeat
The lying twist releases tension in your lower back and stretches your hip and glute with this simple exercise.
Summer is coming and many of us are working hard to look good for the days when only a few pieces of clothing are required. After all the squats, hip thrusts and lunges you're doing to build your glute muscles for the warm months ahead, you have to stretch it out afterwards. This is when the lying twist is necessary – it stretches your lower back, hip, and glute.
Fitness expert, H&M Sport ambassador and H&M Magazine personal trainer Amanda Bisk shows you how this simple and rewarding stretch exercise is done in three steps. Your body will thank you.
Lay down on your back with your head on the ground and your eyes looking up. Lift your left knee to your chest, put your hands on your shin and hug your leg tight.
When you have your left leg in your hands, make sure your right leg is kept straight and on the ground, keeping your hip open.
Hold this position for five deep breaths.
Let go of your left knee and place your left arm fully extended on the ground next to you. Use your right hand to guide your left knee to the side and slowly begin to twist your body.
Make sure your left shoulder stays on the ground and keep your eyes on your left hand to increase the twist. When doing this twist, your aim should be to bring your left knee to the ground.
Hold this position for five deep breaths.
To increase the stretch, you should try to extend your left leg as much as possible by aiming to grip your toes with your right hand. Remember to keep your left shoulder on the ground and your left arm extended to the side.
Repeat the three steps, now with your other side.

In Asia, Girls Generation is huge. And in their native South Korea, the girl group has shilled DSi units for Nintendo. Yet, the group does not have its own game. But if it did, would it look like this?
This is a fan creation. It's totally made-up and headed to stores sometime between never and ever. Yet, it looks great, and right now, I'm wondering why I'm not cooking with Tiffany.

From the days of the PS one, this downloadable game allows you to play the classic original on your PSP handheld system or PS3 home console.
With the gruesome T-Virus finally dormant, Jill Valentine has resigned from S.T.A.R.S. and is going to leave what's left of Raccoon City. Much to her dismay, her exit has been delayed by the same flesh-eating zombies that plagued her counterparts in the first two games! This time, however, the undead are augmented by bloodthirsty hunters, evil hellhounds, and other terrors of the night. As Jill, you'll meet up with a lot of new faces, and some old ones too. Carlos Olivera, for example, is an Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service Agent that seems to want to help you out; whether you trust him or not is up to you. Each time you meet up with an enemy, you can either confront it or evade it, but your choices all add up in this immersing tale of terror. Of course, you do have some pretty powerful ammo to back you up, and the game even lets you combine weapons to make your own firepower. The third installment in the popular RESIDENT EVIL series, this one boasts improved graphics, sound, and overall gameplay. Hidden at the end of the adventure is a bonus Mercenaries game but you'll be lucky if you live to see it.

Less Money to Spend around Sioux Falls. Payroll Tax is Going Up!
Here we are hopefully getting our 1st paychecks of 2013. Check them out and you'll notice that the government is now taking even more money out. Like they weren't taking enough out already!? According to finance.yahoo.com this is why:
American workers are opening their first paychecks of the year and finding an unpleasant surprise: The government's take has gone up. A temporary cut in Social Security withholdings gave Americans hundreds of extra dollars to spend over the past two years. But Congress allowed that break to expire during the wrangling over the fiscal cliff, meaning that Social Security taxes have reverted to 6.2% of salary from the temporary 4.2%. The noticeable lightening of paychecks as consumers remain tentative threatens to put a drag on economic growth. The effect for companies is that the hit is likely to cement a frugal attitude that led consumers to cut back on eating out and shift to less-expensive store brands. Kari Barker, an accountant in Salt Lake City, recently received her first 2013 paycheck and realized that she and her husband will take home $250 less every month. Roberton Williams, a tax economist and the Sol Price Fellow at the Tax Policy Center in Washington, said the expiration of the payroll-tax cut will leave the average American household with $18 to $20 less to spend each week, or $900 to $1,000 a year.
In these economic times it's tough enough finding the extra cash for a night out to a show at the Washington Pavilion, a quiet dinner at Bracco, or perhaps a little shopping at Dawley Farm. Now we are going to have even less money to stimulate the local economy. Will this tax increase cause you to cut back even further on your social spending? It drives me nuts.
