Now, America isn't the only country that adores fried Chinese food. In Japan, diners go wild for karaage, Chinese-style fried chicken. According to Maki from Just Hungry, "the word kara refers to China, meaning that this method of preparing chicken originated in Chinese cooking (age means deep-fried)". Like the Chinese, the Japanese also marinate their chicken with ginger "to get rid of any gaminess". (Check out Maki's recipe.)
If biting into the crispy shell of General Tso's chicken releases pent-up sugar, biting into karaage will unleash a dark and brooding mix of soy sauce and sake. Dark meat, skin on, is best. And this is a dish that begs to be washed down with cold sake or beer.
Lucky residents of L.A. or New York you can easily find karaage in the izakayas that dot the cities. In Shanghai, the Japanese spots cluster mainly in the French Concession, and not many serve the dual-Asian fried chicken dish of my dreams. So hurray for Bankura Soba Kitchen, which has the added advantage of being half a block from my apartment. Their karaage had a deeper soy flavor and a darker reddish brown color than others I've had. I couldn't resist dipping it in the extra sesame sauce that came with my cold soba. Really, more chicken should be fried with skin on, heart health be damned.
And I swear, the side salad with Kewpie mayo tastes better than it looks in the picture.

BEIJING, April 20 (UPI) -- A magnitude-7 earthquake rocked Sichuan province in southwestern China early Saturday, killing 180 people, officials said.
Provincial emergency response officials said 11,227 others were injured and 24 people were missing, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
The quake hit just after 8 a.m. local time and was followed by about 1,165 aftershocks, the strongest measured at 5.8-magnitude, the Chinese seismological center said.
The temblor was measured at 6.6 by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake occurred on the same fault as the massive 2008 earthquake that killed almost 90,000 people, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"Comparatively speaking, the scale of the disaster is not as extensive as in 2008, although there are still multiple locations effected," Meimei Leung, emergency response director for World Vision's China office, told the newspaper.
The quake was centered in Ya'an, The New York Times said. The quake's center was 7.5 miles below the surface, a relatively shallow depth that usually indicates a potential for extensive damage.
President Xi Jinping ordered the army to assist in rescue and recovery efforts, Xinhua reported.
Residents of the affected area are without power, water and communications, and in some places 90 percent of the buildings were reported destroyed.
"Now the houses on both sides of the street have become dangerous buildings," a survivor, Zhang Linpeng, told the Sichuan news service. "I've seen people trapped in the ruins, and some people died. Many of the injured have been pulled out."
Prime Minister Li Keqiang flew to Sichuan with some of his senior officials, the New York Times said.
"The current most urgent issue is grasping the first 24 hours after the quake's occurrence, the golden time for saving lives, to take scientific rescue measures and save people's lives," Li told Xinhua.
Landslides made the task of rescue more difficult. A truck carrying soldiers to the area went off a road into a river, killing one of those aboard and seriously injuring three of his comrades, the Los Angeles Times said.

Alright, special elections might be a little premature, but can any elected official in Queens stay out of hot water? While nobody has been charged with doing anything wrong, per se, but news came down last week that three sitting Queens politicians and a former congressman from the borough are being investigated by a federal grand jury.
Pol Position isn't always proud of its past - we've done some things that we would like to take back - but trust us when we say that none of our transgressions would interest a federal grand jury (we hope).
So while Borough President Helen Marshall, State Senator Malcolm Smith, Congressman Gregory Meeks, and former congressman Reverend Floyd Flake maybe didn't do anything wrong, is it really a good thing for the borough that these four very powerful figures in Queens have caught the attention of the federal government?
The past few years the elected officials in Queens have really tried to take the crown of crooked-est in the city. Sure, in the grand scheme of things there are far more honest and upstanding citizens among the electeds in the borough than dishonest ones, but when they screw up, they screw up bad.
Over the past few years, Queens politicians have been forced from office because of assault, sexual assault, embezzlement, and taking bribes, to name a few of our favorites. The special election to fill their vacated seats is becoming the norm in Queens.
What is this, the Bronx?
When Clarence Norman – the former head of the Kings County Democratic Party - was sent to jail, it looked like Crooklyn was going to be the poster borough for shady politics, but since then the borough has kept its nose squeaky clean, at least as far as what is out there in the public.
The latest brewing scandal in Queens involves a charter school, 930 units of affordable housing, a lavish home for Meeks, and a two-family home owned by Marshall and her husband that was converted into a four family home in 2008. The allegation is that the politicians used a network of non-profits to funnel public money that would in turn benefit their friends and family.
Again, at this point it's just an investigation, but we seen our fair share of Queens elected officials either being found guilty or pleading guilty recently, so nothing would shock us anymore.
We can't wait to find out who comes under scrutiny next!

Less is more for Cook; Street contract details, Contreras gone
DENVER — An open clubhouse at Coors Field provided an opportunity to catch up with several Rockies today. I will have more later on many of these topics, but wanted to give you folks a taste of some of the more notable tidbits:
–Aaron Cook has lost 16 pounds, dropping to 204. He was barely recognizable with his full head of hair and noticeably thinner face. Cook believes the weight loss can help him avoid injuries that have sidelined him at the end of the past few seasons. "I trained the same way. I just watched what I ate, and I stopped eating late. I feel really good."
–Huston Street began the offseason looking for a contract between $24-$27 million. He didn't think a deal would get done when the Rockies' first offer was for $18 million. The sides bridged the gap, settling on a three-year, $22.5 million deal with a mutual option for $9 million and a $500,000 buyout. It happened for two reasons: Street really wanted to be a Rockie — "It doesn't do much good to be on a team that's not going to win. And this team is going to win a lot." And the closer market next winter could have featured as many as six solid free agents, making it a bigger risk to wait.
–ESPN is reporting that Jose Contreras has signed with the Phillies. The Rockies wanted to bring him back, but the sides were far apart financially. The Phillies make sense for Contreras, who will be given an opporunity to start and relieve. The chance to start in Colorado, as it stands, wasn't there.
–Todd Helton was able to do heavier lifting this year, his back less of an issue. But he conceded that he was tired at the end of last season. "I would like to do something special and hit a home run, and not just slap the ball (at the end of the year)." That may mean he's rests more during the season, especially with Brad Hawpe slated to get some time at first base.
–Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez never considered saying no. He loves baseball, so he played winterball for six weeks in Venezuela. "It's fun. It's what I do," said Gonzalez, who will be featured in some of the TV promo ads this year.
–Troy Tulowitzki conducted a baseball clinic in New York with his idol Derek Jeter. "It was great to get to know him a little better. Some guys don't like to do stuff like that, but I am sure they knew how much I look up to Jeter. He's everything right about baseball."
–Eric Young Jr. left winter ball early because of a bruised knee as a precaution. He's been training in Denver all month, and looks forward to the challenge ahead. He's going to see time at third base and left field in spring training, along with second and center. "I played left in high school, so it won't be a huge adjustment. Third base is new to me, but I an anxious to get out there. Junior will also be joining his dad at Fantasy Camp in Tucson. Eric Young Sr. has taken over the role of camp commissioner if you will.
–Jason Hammel said his arm has responded well to a career-high workload. He believes working out with catcher Chris Iannetta all winter will only help his development.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
The election is over and regardless of whether your candidate won or lost, everyone can admit that our president has a lot of challenges to face over the next four years.
With that in mind we'd like to suggest a short reading list for our commander-in-chief that we hope will keep him grounded, open-minded and remind him why he ran for office in the first place.
Our first recommendation is also the most recently published: Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the end of American Debate. In the book, the author, First Amendment lawyer Greg Lukianoff, chronicles cases of censorship at America's colleges and universities and reveals how higher education fails to teach students to become critical thinkers. By stifling open debate, he points out that campuses are energizing ideological divisions, promoting groupthink and encouraging an unscholarly certainty about complex issues.
Although the book looks at America's campuses, the overall theme can be carried to our wider culture, especially among the media where pundits are paid to encourage ideology instead of discussion, pulling readers and viewers along with passionate personalities instead of asking us to think for ourselves.
The president would be well served to consider how intolerance for dissent threatens all of our freedoms. After all, controversy is still a wonderful teacher.
When he finishes this we'd suggest he take up Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain's Finn can help him remember why he cares about the people he leads. The book, a scathing look at entrenched attitudes, never lets us forget that while facing down threats "a sound heart is a surer guide than an ill-trained conscience," according to Twain. Obviously the president's economic decision-making will have far-reaching impacts across America and the world and we think he (and others) would do well to take advice from someone outside his political inner-circle. For this, may we suggest the Oracle of Omaha himself, Warren Buffett.
Living and working in Omaha, Buffett is one of the richest men in the world and arguably one of the greatest investors of all time. His investment picks and comments on the market are closely followed by everyone who thinks about sticking a toe in the market. Buffet's annual Berkshire Hathaway reports are collected in The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America.
Not just for the president or corporate America, Buffett's writings are lessons for everyone and can teach us that the best investing, like anything else, has a value system attached to it. We hope the president keeps a copy on his presidential night-stand.
After reading Buffett, the president should dip into some fantasy reading like Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, a reminder that human endeavours that try to usurp the Creator often go haywire and with tragic consequences.
And what better way for a president to brush up on his job skills than by studying the original. So we recommend 1776 by David McCullough. The book, as described by McCullough himself is: "The portrait of a leader, George Washington, who in the face of every calamity continued to persevere with an iron will and a public persona that never spoke of his private anguish and despair."
As the president (regardless of who won) tries to face down Congress, perhaps no work could be more beneficial than the classic How to Win Friends and Influence People. Dale Carnegie's book first published in 1937 still resonates today to the age-old adage that "it's not what you know but whom you know - and whether or not they like you."
The original self-help book offers advice like: "Offer honest appreciation to others"; "Don't ever call direct attention to people's mistakes"; and "Show respect for other peoples' opinions [even if you are the President of the United States]."
Our final recommendation is Ulysses - just to see if anyone can actually finish this perplexing classic. If our president does, maybe he will explain it to us. Anyone who can read one of the longest "sentences" in English literature at 4,391 words can get through anything, including leading the free world.

The reason why I decided to write this article is because, I was learning myself how to use sockets under windows, I could not find one place that had a tutorial which included everything I was looking for, or if it did it was way too complicated for me to understand. In the end after doing my research, I put together my resources and came up with this tutorial. I hope that it is clear and informative so that other people can benefit from it.
This article can be divided into 3 sections:
To use WinSock before we start writing any code, we must include the wsock32.lib and include the:
#pragma comment(lib, "wsock32.lib")
Normally, a socket that waits for a connection is a server, Once the connection has been made, it can spawn off a new Thread to deal with that connection.
Before going into the actual code, let's have a look at some struct we will need to set up a socket:
Any code that is compiled using a winsock accesses the ws2_32.dll and this struct is used during the process of doing so. The program MUST call WSAstartup to initialise the DLL for later use.
This is used to specify how the socket is used and contains the field for the IP and port.
This is an object that stores a handle to the socket
WSAStartup(WORD wVersionRequested, LPWSADATA lpWSAData )
This function must be the first Windows Sockets function called by an application or DLL. It allows an application or DLL to specify the version of Windows Sockets API required and to retrieve details of the specific Windows Sockets implementation. The application or DLL may only issue further Windows Sockets API functions after a successful WSAStartup invocation.
socket(int af, int type, int protocol)
This method creates the socket:
bind(SOCKET s, const struct sockaddr FAR * name, int namelen)
Associates a local address with a socket This routine is used on an unconnected datagram or stream socket, before subsequent connects or listens. When a socket is created with socket, it exists in a name space (address family), but it has no name assigned. bind establishes the local association (host address/port number) of the socket by assigning a local name to an unnamed socket. In the Internet address family, a name consists of several components. For SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_STREAM, the name consists of three parts: a host address, the protocol number (set implicitly to UDP or TCP, respectively), and a port number which identifies the application. If an application does not care what address is assigned to it, it may specify an Internet address equal to INADDR_ANY, a port equal to 0, or both. If the Internet address is equal to INADDR_ANY, any appropriate network interface will be used; this simplifies application programming in the presence of multi- homed hosts. If the port is specified as 0, the Windows Sockets implementation will assign a unique port to the application with a value between 1024 and 5000. The application may use getsockname after bind to learn the address that has been assigned to it, but note that getsockname will not necessarily fill in the Internet address until the socket is connected, since several Internet addresses may be valid if the host is multi-homed. If no error occurs, bind returns 0. Otherwise, it returns SOCKET_ERROR, and a specific error code may be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.
listen(SOCKET s, int backlog )
Establishes a socket to listen to an incoming connection To accept connections, a socket is first created with socket, a backlog for incoming connections is specified with listen, and then the connections are accepted with accept. listen applies only to sockets that support connections, i.e., those of type SOCK_STREAM. The socket s is put into "passive'' mode where incoming connections are acknowledged and queued pending acceptance by the process. This function is typically used by servers that could have more than one connection request at a time: if a connection request arrives with the queue full, the client will receive an error with an indication of WSAECONNREFUSED. listen attempts to continue to function rationally when there are no available descriptors. It will accept connections until the queue is emptied. If descriptors become available, a later call to listen or accept will re-fill the queue to the current or most recent "backlog'', if possible, and resume listening for incoming connections.
accept(SOCKET s, struct sockaddr FAR * addr, int FAR * addrlen)
This routine extracts the first connection on the queue of pending connections on s, creates a new socket with the same properties as s and returns a handle to the new socket. If no pending connections are present on the queue, and the socket is not marked as non- blocking, accept blocks the caller until a connection is present. If the socket is marked non-blocking and no pending connections are present on the queue, accept returns an error as described below. The accepted socket may not be used to accept more connections. The original socket remains open. The argument addr is a result parameter that is filled in with the address of the connecting entity, as known to the communications layer. The exact format of the addr parameter is determined by the address family in which the communication is occurring. The addrlen is a value-result parameter; it should initially contain the amount of space pointed to by addr; on return it will contain the actual length (in bytes) of the address returned. This call is used with connection-based socket types such as SOCK_STREAM. If addr and/or addrlen are equal to NULL, then no information about the remote address of the accepted socket is returned.
closesocket(SOCKET s)
closes a socket.
ends the use of the Windows Sockets DLL.

In order to create a socket that connects to another socket uses most of the functions from the previous code with the exception of a struct called HOSTENT.
This struct is used to tell the socket to which computer and port to connect to. These structs can appear as LPHOSTENT, but it actually means that they are pointer to HOSTENT.
Most of the functions that have been used for the client to connect to the server are the same as the server with the exception of a few. I will just go through the different functions that have been used for the client.
gethostbyname(const char* FAR name)
gethostbyname returns a pointer to a hostent structure as described under gethostbyaddr. The contents of this structure correspond to the hostname name. The pointer which is returned points to a structure which is allocated by the Windows Sockets implementation. The application must never attempt to modify this structure or to free any of its components. Furthermore, only one copy of this structure is allocated per thread, and so the application should copy any information which it needs before issuing any other Windows Sockets API calls. A gethostbyname implementation must not resolve IP address strings passed to it. Such a request should be treated exactly as if an unknown host name were passed. An application with an IP address string to resolve should use inet_addr to convert the string to an IP address, then gethostbyaddr to obtain the hostent structure.

return CS_ERROR;
MessageBox(NULL, "Connection was made", "SOCKET", MB_OK);
return CS_OK;
void sError(char *str)
MessageBox(NULL, str, "SOCKET ERROR", MB_OK);
Up to this point, we have managed to connect with our client to the server. Clearly, this is not going to be enough in a real-life application. In this section, we are going to look into more details how to use the send/recv functions in order to get some communication going between the two applications.
Factually, this is not going to be difficult because most of the hard work has been done setting up the server and the client app. Before going into the code, we are going to look into more details of the two functions:
send(SOCKET s, const char FAR * buf, int len, int flags)
send is used on connected datagram or stream sockets and is used to write outgoing data on a socket. For datagram sockets, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum IP packet size of the underlying subnets, which is given by the iMaxUdpDg element in the WSAData structure returned by WSAStartup. If the data is too long to pass atomically through the underlying protocol the error WSAEMSGSIZE is returned, and no data is transmitted.
recv(SOCKET s, const char FAR * buf, int len, int flags)
For sockets of type SOCK_STREAM, as much information as is currently available up to the size of the buffer supplied is returned. If the socket has been configured for in- line reception of out-of-band data (socket option SO_OOBINLINE) and out-of-band data is unread, only out-of-band data will be returned. The application may use the ioctlsocket SIOCATMARK to determine whether any more out-of-band data remains to be read.
The following code example demonstrates how to make use of the recv function. The recv function is used after the accept function, and the socket must be connected in order to receive the data.
client = accept(s, NULL, NULL);
cout << "newclient found" << endl;
if(client == INVALID_SOCKET)
socketError("Failed accept()");
return SERVER_SOCKET_ERROR;
char buf[4];
rVal = recv(client, buf, 4, 0);
if(rVal == SOCKET_ERROR)
int val = WSAGetLastError();
if(val == WSAENOTCONN)
cout << "socket not connected" << endl;
else if(val == WSAESHUTDOWN )
cout << "socket has been shut down!" << endl;
socketError("Failed recv()");
return SERVER_SOCKET_ERROR;
cout << buf << endl;
This code example below works fine when you know exactly how much data you are about to receive. The problem comes when you do not know how much data will arrive. For now we will ignore this problem because the aim here is actually to prove that data has been received. In the next section, we will evolve the way we receive data.
Now we are going to look at how to implement the send function. In actual fact, it is the reverse of receiving data!
rVal=connect(theSocket,(LPSOCKADDR)&serverInfo, sizeof(serverInfo));
sError("Failed connect()");
return CS_ERROR;
char *buf = "data";
rVal = send(theSocket, buf, strlen(buf), 0);
if(rVal == SOCKET_ERROR)
sError("Failed send()");
return CS_ERROR;
As mentioned earlier in part 2, we are now going to expand on the way that we receive data. The problem we had before is that if we did not know the size of data that we were expecting, then we would end up with problems.
In order to fix this, here we create a new function that receives a pointer to the client socket, and then read a char at the time, placing each char into a vector until we find the '\n' character that signifies the end of the message.
This solution is clearly not a robust or industrial way that read data from one socket to an other, but it's a way to start reading unknown length strings. the function will be called after the accept method.
char * readline(SOCKET *client)
vector<char> theVector;
char buffer;
int rVal;
rVal = recv(*(client), &buffer, 1, 0);
if(rVal == SOCKET_ERROR)
int errorVal = WSAGetLastError();
if(errorVal == WSAENOTCONN)
socketError("Socket not connected!");
socketError("Failed recv()");
if(buffer == '\n')
char *data = new char[theVector.size() + 1];
memset(data, 0, theVector.size()+1);
for(int i=0; i<theVector.size(); i+=1)
data[i] = theVector[i];
cout << data << endl;
return data;
As we can see, this is a simple and rudimentary way to read a line, we can increase its functionality adding support for \b, \r, \0, and others depending on what the need is.
I hope this tutorial has been of some use, even if the code implementation is fairly simple, it might be of help to further develop programs that need to implement the socket API.
There are many more things to consider when developing with sockets, i.e., NON-Blocking and Asynchronous Socket. I intend to write some more regarding the above topics mentioned as they are very important for more robust and industrial programs.

With the Tim Tebow drama dominating the headlines, this week's truly juicy subplot has been overlooked. The New York Jets are taking on last season's scapegoat, now-St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
"Schotty" was blamed for a lot of New York's problems last season. He wasn't brought back to the Jets, although the team took pains to make it seem like he wasn't fired. The offense has only grown worse without him, and the Rams' offense has made improvements overall this season.
In short, it has been a good year so far for Schottenheimer.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said Thursday that he's looking forward to the "cat and mouse" game with his ex-assistant.
"He's probably anticipating certain things from us, and we're anticipating certain things as well," Ryan said.
Ryan has long said Schottenheimer would be an "excellent head coach." Ryan said he admired and respected Schottenheimer. In the end, however, Ryan got rid of him. Schottenheimer has a chance to speed up Ryan's descent this season and end any debate about the Jets' future this season.

What to Consider When Selecting a Mobile Food Platform
Determining what platform, or vehicle — food truck, trailer, or cart — to use to present your menu to your customers requires that you consider the following factors:
What equipment will your menu require? If your menu requires that you need a flat-top grill, fryers, and other assorted kitchen equipment, you may want to use a food truck or full-sized trailer.
How many sales a day are you planning? The more sales you intend to make on a daily basis, the more storage space you need. Smaller platforms, such as food carts, can sell as much as a food truck or trailer; however, you may need to make multiple trips to your kitchen to keep yourself stocked to meet your sales needs.
What are the local parking restrictions? Every city has its own set of parking restrictions related to the mobile food industry. Some allow for trucks to stay in one location for a brief period of time, and others keep vendors from parking near brick-and-mortar food establishments. Check with your local municipality to find out what applies to you. If you can park only in certain areas for limited times, look at food truck options that allow you to quickly pick up and move to another location without the need of another vehicle to tow your establishment to your next stop.
What type of atmosphere does your concept require? Does your concept include being part of a stationary group of food carts (also known as cart pods as found in Portland, Oregon, or Ann Arbor, Michigan) or trailers (as in Austin, Texas), or do you need to be on the road, moving from location to location throughout the day? If you need to be more mobile, a food truck is a great option.
What are the local commercial truck restrictions? If you plan to use a food truck, you need to know the vehicle restrictions for your area. Some cities have limits on the length of commercial trucks, so you have to consider the length of vehicle you use. How big are the parking spots you plan to sell from? Food trucks can vary in length from 10 to 26 feet long, and a 16-foot trailer being towed by a pickup truck can extend even longer.
How many staff members will you need to operate? If you determine that you need more than two or three employees to operate your mobile business, you may not be interested in operating a food cart with only 120 square feet of floor space. Food trucks and trailers have much more room for equipment, storage, and staff members. The advantage of a smaller staff allows you to get a much smaller platform, which makes it easier to fit into tighter parking spaces and even save money on the fuel you need to keep it moving.

Americans are in deeper in debt than at any time in our history. For many, debt has become a critical safety valve in financial emergencies. For others, it's a useful tool for managing the cash flow ups and downs that come from seasonal work or a job that doesn't provide a steady income. Without mortgage debt, few people would be able to own a home.
And then there are those who just don't get it: No matter how easy lenders make it for you to borrow, you're eventually going to have to pay it back.
But what if someone you know is in the latter category — falling further behind every day? What should you do? This week, one reader wants to know: Should I lend more money to bail out my in-laws? If not, what can I do?
My wife and I have been married for six years. ... Her parents have gotten themselves into a situation where I just don't see an easy resolution. With $71,000 left on their mortgage, they refinanced and took out $100,000. … They did it again and invested $100,000 in a business venture. ... They then decided to take out a home equity line for $52,000. They have over $20,000 in credit card debt at 16 percent. They put their car up for collateral for a loan for $15,000. They borrowed $22,000 from a family friend, $9,000 from me, and who knows what else. ... They have no life insurance, $18,000 in one 401(k), and are nearing retirement 58 and 62 years of age. Their bills are twice as much as their income.
I can usually come up with a plan on how to recover from such situations, but this one seems too far gone for me. … I am conservative by nature, I am 32 years old and have been saving for all the things I know I will need in the future — my retirement, my children's education, a larger house. Do I sacrifice my own savings to help out more? What can we do in this situation?
-- Sam, address withheld
Lending money to friends and family is often a perilous undertaking even with the most creditworthy and reliable borrowers. No matter how hard you try, it's almost impossible to make this a business-like transaction. It's always a good idea, for example, to write a quick note briefly outlining the terms for repayment. If the beneficiary of your family loan takes offense, just tell them it's for "tax purposes." The emotional distress you'll avoid from any confusion down the road will more than make up for any awkwardness when you hand over the check.
In your case, it's hard to see how throwing good money after bad is going to help anyone here. Your in-laws clearly have no idea how to handle debt; giving them more money is akin to buying them drugs just because they're pleading for a fix.
Clearly, they need help learning how to better manage their financial affairs. The question is whether you're the one who can provide that help. Giving them more money will only keep them headed in the wrong direction.
The first step would be to try to help them recognize their problem: that they need credit counseling, not more debt. You can start by politely informing them that you can't lend them more money for precisely the reasons you've cited. You need to save for your own family's needs.
It's unlikely that refusing them more money alone will turn things around. For that, you should urge them to find a certified credit counselor through the National Federation for Credit Counseling. This national group of community-based agencies helps thousands of people like your in-laws every day.
If the situation is dire — if they're at risk of losing their house, for example — urge them to act sooner rather than later. These days, lenders are busy working with hundreds of thousands of families at risk of default to figure out a way to keep them from losing their homes. The most important single step borrowers need to take is to call as soon as it looks like they're getting into trouble. If they wait until they've missed too many payments, it becomes a lot harder to work out a solution with a happy ending.
As a member of the U.S. Navy, I am currently investing a small percentage of my wages into a TSP (thrift savings plan) account. I am 26 years old, currently married (wife is attending nursing school), and I have a 2-year-old son. What other types of investing would you suggest for an individual like myself? I feel that I am behind in getting this started. With my son growing up so fast, I am looking towards the future and him attending college.
-- Dennis S., Goose Creek, S.C.
First off, congratulations on getting started. Some people — especially financial advisers trying to sell you their products and services — tend to overcomplicate the process of saving for college or retirement. The hardest part isn't so much deciding what to do with the money. The hardest part is saving the money — especially with a growing family.
The most important thing on the saving side is to make sure you take full advantage of any and all accounts that help you save faster. For civilians, this starts at work with either a 401(k) plan. For those in the military, the equivalent account is a thrift savings plan, or TSP, which also covers federal government employees. Before you start looking for alternatives, make sure you're taking maximum advantage of these accounts. That's because no other investment plan will supercharge your savings with matching contributions — for every dollar you kick in up to a limit, Uncle Sam (or your employer, usually) will give you another one. (Clarification: If you're in uniform, unfortunately, matching contributions are only available to some "critical specialities" designated by the secretary repsonsible for each service. )
For college savings, you may want to look into a so-called 529 account. These are offered by most states and give you tax breaks and other incentives for money used to pay for tuition and other college expenses. You can also set up an account in your child's name under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act (a so-called UGMA account) that taxes investments at the child's rate. (The downside is that when your child turns 18, they get control over the money.) One of our favorite sites for information on college savings is
If you set up your own investment account, you'll probably want to start with managed funds (which pick stocks for you) or index funds (which have lower fees and just invest in all the stocks of a specific index, like the Standard & Poor's 500). Just like your TSP, the safer investments usually give you a lower return. So spread your savings around. Don't keep everything in stocks; put some money in bonds and maybe some in funds that invest overseas. There are a number of good Web sites out there to get you started. Companies like Fidelity and Charles Schwab that cater to small investors have lots of information and tools to learn more.
And while it doesn't hurt to start investing outside your TSP, so far this year the five managed funds you get to choose from under your plan have done pretty well. The Government Securities account, which invests in U.S. Treasuries, is up 3.7 percent so far this year; the Fixed Income account, which invests in other types of bonds, is up 4.2 percent; the Common Stock fund is ahead by 10.1 percent; the Small Cap fund — which invests in smaller, fast-growing companies — is up by 10.9 percent; and the International fund is up 13.8 percent.

Problem I don't see mentioned very often, while Gail was given a spot for the statue it's not the spot she wanted, and the Council has not been receptive to the location Gail wants. Thus, the statue is nowhere close to being ready to go until this location is set.ReplyDelete

Olympic cycling gold medalist, Victoria Pendleton, has helped launch a new superfast inkjet printer technology called Memjet here in the UK.
The new technology is a variation on normal inkjets that squirt tiny droplets of ink onto the page. But instead of a small print head that slides back and forth it has a print head that's the full width of a page (page wide array), enabling much faster print speeds – up to 60 pages a minute or one page per second. This is much faster than conventoinal inkjet printers and akin to laser print speeds. But, unlike laser printing, Memjet is a full colour photo-quality print technology.

This was amply demonstrated by Victoria Pendleton who was on hand to be photographed with her Olympics 2012 medals. Once the photo was taken Pendleton was able to print out a full photo-qualtity A4 copy of the image and sign it, all in a matter of seconds.
Memjet isn't just innovating on the technology front but also on its distribution model too. While you can buy a printer featuring the technology, you can also buy a subscription which includes the printer, ink and paper. Prices start from £49 per month and currently stop at £149.
The new technology is coming to market here in the UK in partnership with Lomond with its range of EvoJet printers, the entry level model of which, the Evojet Office 2, you can buy for around £600.
Other advantages of the technology include its low power usage, which for the Evojet Office 2 is just 32W, compared to many more for an office-grade laser printer.
So confident is Memjet of the advantages of its technology that President of Memjet Office, Bill McGlynn, declared that page wide array technology would kill all other forms of printer technology. Meanwhile Kim Beswick, VP Marketing for Memjet added that the install base is expected to be "in the millions in 5 years".
These large posters strewn across the floor were printed in less than ten seconds.
Memjet isn't just limited to small scale printing either. The technology is also being used in large format printers such as those by Océ. Here, multiple Memjet print heads are ranged alongside each other to allow for continuous printing across the full width of large format posters. Whole A0 posters can be printed in a matter of seconds.
Okay, so it's not the iPad mini but this Memjet technology is something that has to be seen to be believed.

Tiger Woods' strong start in the 2012 PGA Championships may be making up for the fact that he recently sold his condo in Corona del Mar, Calif., at a loss.
The PGA champion sold his home, which he bought for $3 million in 2004, for just $2.2 million, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Here are nine celebrities who took a loss on the sale of their homes or mansions. Fortunately for them, most have second or multiple homes to give them shelter from adoring fans and paparazzi, and all but one of these homes sold in the multi-million dollar range.
quicklist: category: Corona del Mar, California title: Tiger Woods media: 16977319 text:
Tiger Woods' condo with beach views, reportedly one of the locations for Woods's infamous affairs, was first listed in April 2012. The property, near Laguna Beach and south of Los Angeles, has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and spans 2,000 square feet.
The listing showed a price cut in June before it ultimately sold for $2.2 million. Woods' main residence is an estate with a golf course in Jupiter, Fla., Zillow reports.
quicklist: category: Beverly Hills, California title: Britney Spears media: 16303786 text:
Pop princess Britney Spears reportedly took a hit on her Beverly Hills home that she bought in January 2007 for $6.8 million and first listed in September 2008 for $7.9 million.
Zillow reports the listing sold for $4.5 million in April 2012 after six price cuts. Spears bought the five-bed, six-bath home for $6.75 million after her divorce to Kevin Federline in 2006.
"Built in 2001, the Mediterranean-style villa is located in the high-security, prestigious Summit neighborhood," Zillow reports. The 5-bedroom, 6-bath home has a master suite with his-and-her bathrooms and a fireplace.
quicklist: category: New York, New York title: Jennifer Aniston media: 16305165 text:
Actress Jennifer Aniston bought two New York City apartments in 2011 for $7 million with the intent to combine them.
A year before that, Aniston told ABC's "Good Morning America" she was looking to return to New York City.
"I grew up here. I miss it," Aniston said in February 2010. "There's nothing like being in the city…[it's] the city of every man. It's all walks and I love that."
Fast forward to April 2012. Aniston has said she felt overwhelmed by paparazzi in New York City. She sold the units with a loss of $500,000, the New York Daily News reported.
quicklist: category: Beverly Hills, California title: Rihanna media: 16305175 text:
Singer Rihanna sold her Beverly Hills eight-bedroom home in December 2011 for $5.03 million. She listed it in November 2010 for $4.5 million after paying $6.9 million in September 2009. The home reportedly has water damage from the roof and windows and was described as a "major fixer," which previously led to legal wrangling against her landlord.
The gated, three-story home spans 8,520-square feet and has eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and three fireplaces.
quicklist: category: Los Angeles, California title: Penelope Cruz media: 16303994 text:
Actress Penelope Cruz sold her 3,334-square foot home in Los Angeles for $2.88 million in December 2011, after buying it for $3.14 million in May 2005.
On the market for over a year, the final sale price was $807,000 less than Cruz originally sought and $250,000 less than what she paid.
"The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Balinese-modern style home was built in 1956, and as since been completely updated by the star and husband Javier Bardem," Zillow reported. "The unique piece of Hollywood Hills real estate is tucked in a cul-de-sac near Sunset Strip and features high ceilings, carved-wood doors, private courtyard, bamboo floors, and an in-ground heated pool with a luxurious tented cabana."
quicklist: category: West Hollywood, California title: John Krasinski media: 16304047 text:
"The Office's" John Krasinski bought a two-bedroom, two bath home in West Hollywood in March 2006 for $1.05 million, just one year into his role as "Jim" in the popular mockumentary. Krasinski's career took off while the economy took a turn for the worse.
He listed it in March 2011 for $945,000 and it sold for $880,000 in June 2011.
quicklist: category: Encino, California title: Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott media: 16305106 text:
Despite being featured on television, the home in which Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's reality television show, "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood," was filmed for the Oxygen network sold at a loss.
The couple bought the home in Encino, Calif. for $2.95 million in October 2008 and listed it in April 2011 $3.20 million. They sold it for $2.5 million in December 2011, according to public records.
quicklist: category: Sherman Oaks, California title: Kaley Cuoco media: 16304149 text:
Emmy-nominated actress Kaley Cuoco of "The Big Bang Theory" bought a home in Sherman Oaks, Calif. for $1.36 million in 2005 after ending her role on ABC's comedy-drama, "8 Simple Rules" which aired from 2002 to 2005.
She listed it for sale at $995,000 in February 2011 before slicing the price twice. For her third price cut, Cuoco listed the home for $849,000 in July 2011. The three bedroom, two bathroom Spanish home sold below that for $822,500 in August 2011.
"The private home, below, features "park-like" grounds, hardwood floors and period details from its 1937 construction date," Zillow reported.
quicklist: category: Encino, California title: Marcos Siega media: 16305347 text:
The director and producer of CW's television show, "The Vampire Diaries," from 2009 to 2011 sold his home in Encino, Calif. for $1.65 million in January 2012.

The Arvin Center provides a number of career-based courses for students at each district high school.
Students continue taking general education courses at their home school while attending classes at the Arvin Center, located on the Oldham County High School campus in Buckner.
"The vision of the school is for students to leave here with dual credit or a certification that puts them ahead in college or able to be employed in a field of interest while they gain further certification," said Matt Watkins, associate principal and director of the Arvin Center.
The center offers four career clusters — automative, culinary arts, information technology and health sciences.
Many courses are dual credit with specific post-secondary schools.
Students can take entry-level classes as stand-alones to fill elective credits — courses like automotive basics or basic cooking.
In the past three years, the Arvin Center has seen considerable growth — more than 60 students were turned away just in the health sciences program, according to Watkins. This year, about 350 students are enrolled in Arvin Center programs.
As fewer college students are able to find employment after graduation, there's a shift nationwide to career-oriented education.
According to a Rutgers University study released in May, only 51 percent of students graduating college since 2006 have a full-time job.
And it's getting worse — fewer than half of students who graduated since 2009 found their first job within 12 months of graduation.
Several years ago, the state legislature cut funding for technical and career programs at local high schools. Oldham County Board of Education members voted to direct local funding to the Arvin Center.
In August, Gov. Steve Beshear combined local and state career and technical education systems under one umbrella to create a unified system at the middle and high school level.
Both local and state systems are now part of the Kentucky Department of Education.
The state also has 53 technical centers for 123 school districts, paid for with state funds.
Local high schools operate career and technical schools using state and local funds.
"In order to offer more complete majors, we — as a district and a school — will have to find ways to meet facility needs for space and instructor needs for great education," Watkins said.
While he hopes the merger will offer some relief to those issues, he plans to continue improving offerings for student careers before, during and after college.
Students interested in Arvin Center classes should meet with a guidance counselor at their high school.

A Geospatial Framework for the Coastal Zone: National Needs in Mapping and Charting (January 2004)Report in Brief
High quality maps and charts of the coastal zone are essential for safe navigation, resolving jurisdictional boundaries, developing new policies and programs, and establishing inventories of resources and habitats. With 14 of the country's 20 largest urban corridors along the nation's coastline, coastal mapping and charting should be a priority. This report proposes an integrated and coordinated coastal mapping strategy for the nation, based on a consistent geospatial framework that would be the foundation for all data collection, analyses, and products. It also suggests mechanisms for enhanced communication among the many agencies and entities with mapping and charting responsibilities in the coastal zone in order to minimize redundancy and maximize operational efficiencies.

Honeypots have been actively used by the security community for over ten years now. They are used for a variety of purposes, but now a days primarily for information gathering. When honeypots first were being used they generated a great deal of discussion about the legal issues. However, through the years this debate has died down, most organizations feeling these issues are minor. I just wanted to share an update on these thoughts.

OSWEGO — SUNY Oswego has been designated a military-friendly college in Military Advanced Education's 2013 guide.
The publication, which helps inform education service officers, transition officers and the service members they counsel, named SUNY Oswego to its annual list in the "2013 Guide to Military-Friendly Colleges & Universities," noting that schools on the list "go out of their way to implement military-friendly policies in support of our men and women in uniform."
SUNY Oswego joined Syracuse University, Canisius College, Rochester Institute of Technology and SUNY colleges at Canton and Potsdam, among other New York institutions, on the national list.
"I think the designation shows the extent the campus goes to to provide a welcoming environment (for current service members and those transitioning to civilian life) and to give them the specific support they need," said Benjamin Parker, academic planning coordinator for SUNY Oswego's Division of Extended Learning.
"There are specific challenges for veterans," Parker said. "Oswego has put in the effort to be knowledgeable about those challenges and to put in the support structures to minimize those challenges."
Among the attributes considered in evaluating this year's colleges and universities for inclusion in the Military Advanced Education guide are the flexibility of online learning options, extent of transfer credits accepted by degree level, on-campus active duty and veteran assistance, faculty trained in veteran reintegration issues, presence on military installations, and full-time counselors trained in veteran-specific mental health concerns.
Parker said Oswego's services to veterans include counselors who have made it a priority to obtain professional development and training around veterans issues, weekly in-person presence of a college representative at Fort Drum, acceptance at full value of credits earned for military schooling and training, increased opportunities for faculty and staff to learn the challenges facing returning service members, establishing relationships with community institutions that routinely assist veterans and promoting flexibility in academic options, such as the college's all-online Master of Business Administration degree.
"I advise all the evening degree and online students," Parker said. "If a veteran student needs that flexibility, they're already talking to the person who can help them get into the (class) sections."
The college has a cross-campus, interoffice committee working to further improve veterans' services, he said. For example, it has named a trained single point of contact for veterans in Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Accounts and other offices that deal frequently with service members. Additionally, Parker makes himself available at the outset to military members and veterans transitioning to college life.
"We've streamlined the whole process to get them the information they need," Parker said. "They come here focused. They know why they're here. They know what they want. We pave the way."

Purchase improved to 6-6 overall and 2-3 in Skyline play, while the Rams fell to 5-7, 2-1.

In the final 5:01 of a low scoring first half, the Rams closed on a 15-5 run and took a 30-22 advantage into the break. Junior guard Camille Romero (Queens, N.Y.) had a team-high 12 points in the half for Farmingdale State, while Garcia had nine points for the Panthers.
Tied 43-43 with 9:11 remaining, Romero hit a 3-pointer and senior forward Lushanta Savadel (Bellport, N.Y.) made a pair at the free-throw line in the Rams next possession to give Farmingdale State a 48-43 lead.
After the Rams regained the lead 56-55, Garcia scored the final 11 points for Purchase as they earned the 66-59 conference win.
Romero had a team-high 22 points, while Merrill added 12 points and eight rebounds for Farmingdale State.

Hi, We use a Seaward Europa Plus for testing inhouse at various sites. One of them has what looks like a 'pre-war' bench grinder. Using the standard tests for Class 1 Handheld, it fails the insulation test where it applies a 500v DC across the Earth and Live and Neutral pins. It gives a reading of <0.01 MOhm (from the Patguard print out) and fails. It suggests that if an appliance fails it might have an overvoltage protection and try the 250v settings. I tried this and it also fails.
There is a more modern similar appliance which passed the same test. Looking at the results on the actual tester...
the passed appliance shows
INSULATION 500vDC 1.00 MOhm 33.35
the failed appliance shows
INSULATION 500vDC 1.00 MOhm <0.10
I have failed the appliance and told them not to use it.
My question is : Are there any circumstances during which an appliance would fail this test but still be deemed safe, or is it an automatic fail?
Any help would be appreciated,
