HIGHLAND - A Highland man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and arson Thursday after a residence was found fully engulfed in flames.
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials said Saint Yanez, 43, was arrested after he told them he had been in an argument with two other occupants and later set a couch on fire in his bedroom with a lighter.
The incident was reported about 3:30 a.m. Thursday at the 21100 block of Nona Ave. as a domestic dispute, sheriff's department officials said in a news release.
After the argument with Yanez, sheriff's department officials said the other occupants locked themselves in a room and did not allow the 43-year-old to enter.
Sheriff's department officials said Yanez was unsuccessful at breaking in the door and told them he started the fire because he wanted the other occupants "hurt. "
Everyone was able to escape without any injuries but Cal Fire Department is conducting an arson investigation, officials said.
Yanez was booked at the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Central Detention Center.

• sommelier •
Pronunciation: sê-mêl-yay • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: The wine steward of a luxury restaurant, usually an expert on wines.
Notes: Today's Good Word was borrowed so recently from French that it still retains the French pronunciation. It has not had time to propagate, either, and so remains a lexical orphan without relatives. Exclusive restaurants have sommeliers; others have wine stewards.
In Play: The job of the sommelier, of course, is to help the customer match the wine with his meal: "The sommelier was so good at his job that he could tell by the look in Redmond's eyes that he was in desperate need of a glass of California Cabernet Sauvignon." However, since only the poshest of restaurants have sommeliers, you cannot separate the connotation of classiness from this word: "Malcolm poured the oil into the engine of his Jaguar as adroitly as a sommelier in a Parisian restaurant might pour a glass of Pinot Noir."
Word History: We noted that janitor is a lowly job with a celestial title. Well, that of a sommelier is a celestial job of lowly origins. No, the title doesn't reflect the inattentiveness of some sommeliers (sommeil means "sleepy" in French). Rather, it is an alteration of sommerier "packhorse driver", a noun derived from sommier "beast of burden". French inherited sommier from Vulgar (street) Latin saumarius, itself a corruption of sagmarius "packhorse", based on Greek sagma "packsaddle". Sumpter "packhorse driver" is a variant of the same word. Fort Sumter, without the P, where the US Civil War began April 12, 1861, was named for General Thomas Sumter, whose name shares the same origin. (Today we toast Miriam Brown for suggesting this most delicious sip of English vocabulary.)

I should imagine a truly well-educated sommelier would be well-versed in vindemiation.
I must also say that I'm glad this one's not been Americanized. Wouldn't it end up coming out as "smellier"?

Mines to receive DOE funding for nuclear energy research and development project
GOLDEN, Colo., May 7, 2009 – U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu recently announced awards for 71 university research projects, including one at Colorado School of Mines, as part of the Department of Energy's investments in cutting-edge nuclear energy research and development.
The Mines project, "TRISO-Coated Fuel Durability Under Extreme Conditions," is led by Ivar Reimanis, metallurgical and materials engineering professor. It falls under the DOE's Next Generation Nuclear Plant research field.
Under the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP), these 71 projects will receive approximately $44 million over three years to advance new nuclear technologies in support of the nation's energy goals. Contracts for the R&D projects are expected to be awarded by Sept. 30 by the Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC, a management and operating contractor for DOE at the Idaho National Laboratory.
By helping to develop the next generation of advanced nuclear technologies, the NEUP will play a key role in addressing the global climate crisis and moving the nation toward greater use of nuclear energy.
"As a zero-carbon energy source, nuclear power must be part of our energy mix as we work toward energy independence and meeting the challenge of global warming," said Secretary Chu. "The next generation of nuclear power plants — with the highest standards of safety, efficiency and environmental protection — will require the latest advancements in nuclear science and technology. These research and development university awards will ensure that the United States continues to lead the world in the nuclear field for years to come."
In addition to the Next Generation Nuclear Plant, also known as Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems, the DOE will support projects in fields including the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative, Investigator-Initiated Research and Light Water Reactor Sustainability.
In keeping with the Obama Administration's commitment to training the next generation of American scientists, Secretary Chu also announced the DOE is accepting applications for individual nuclear science and engineering scholarships and fellowships under the Nuclear Energy University Program.
As part of the Department's efforts to recruit and train the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers, DOE is offering approximately $2.9 million in university fellowships and scholarships to support students entering the nuclear science and engineering fields. Further details on the Request for Applications are available at: www.caesenergy.org.

Tough economic times trigger a variety of responses from business owners: fear, a new clarity, competitiveness, and, for architects who design houses, turf battles. Anyone who's been following the online forums this past year has seen the cauldron of comments boiling up around a long-simmering debate: Is it time to regulate residential design? After Waterloo, Iowa-based architect Edward J. Shannon, AIA, LEED GA, posed this question about eight months ago on residential architect's LinkedIn group, more than 1,000 posts—some calmly logical, some livid—lit up the message boards and cross-pollinated on the forums of the Congress of Residential Architecture (CORA) and the Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN). Clearly, it touched a nerve.
To put this issue in perspective, residential architects seem especially vulnerable to the insults visited upon the profession these days: industries from IT to lawn services co-opting the term architect, a time-consuming licensing process exacerbated by the weak economy, and a lax regulatory environment for house design that invites sub-par players. Add the drawn-out housing bust, and it's enough to make anyone cranky.
"There's a low amount of work right now, which makes more evident what piece of the pie is being done by non-architects," says Luis Jauregui, AIA, president of Jauregui, a design/build firm based in Austin, and former national chairman of CRAN. "Feelings are rawer in a slow economy. Nobody complains when they have more work than they can handle.''
This contentious conversation may never be resolved, but at its heart is a question of value: If virtually anyone is allowed to design a house, what is registration worth to architects specializing in houses? And what is the value of a residential architect versus a licensed designer?
Basically, the regulatory ideas that have been tossed around for decades are all laudable, but notoriously difficult to apply nationwide. The lack of measurable and consistent credentialing is what prompted Shannon's LinkedIn question. A year ago, he moved from Chicago, where residential designers are required to have a license, to Waterloo, where they are not. He teaches residential design in the local community college's architectural technology program, which emphasizes drafting skills. "As a college instructor, it's hard to look my students in the eye and say, 'If I give you this training, you're qualified to hang your shingle,' yet they are, according to state law," Shannon says. "It was culture shock."
With public health and safety and a solid design sense at stake, Shannon sees merit in a state-mandated competency test for home designers, which would sort out the poorly trained from the professionals. Thomas H. Donalek, AIA, of Chicago drew a harder line on the AIA Young Architects Forum: "I think that the required combination of education/degree and work experience and a test is an example of architects holding our profession to a higher standard than bare minimum. It is the combination of these factors that together do a reasonable job of assuring the protection of the life, welfare, and safety of the general public."
Members of the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD) also chimed in. "I believe that any American has the right to design their own home as long as it meets codes. If you want to regulate 'ugly,' then you need to live in a community with design guidelines," wrote AIBD member Susan P. Berry, CEO of Classical Home Design in Maitland, Fla.
One reason this subject is so heated is because the single-family home is at the heart of the American dream, and our libertarian tendencies run deep. To quote Thomas Jefferson, a famous non-architect, "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." That sounds a little dangerous in a construction context. But Jefferson was, of course, a role model who spent his life building up and tearing down portions of his house, notes Marvin Malecha, FAIA, dean of North Carolina State University College of Design, Raleigh, N.C., and an Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture distinguished professor.
"He did that with great trepidation and was very reluctant to share what he was doing with the architects in the Capitol, so there's always been this tension about what a professional can bring to a job, and what an amateur brings, and what a builder knows that an architect doesn't," Malecha explains. "It's easy to fall into the temptation of 'I know everything.'"

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
The State of Oregon Office of Degree Authorization has approved Multnomah Bible College to begin two new programs: a Bachelors program in Elementary Education and a Master of Arts in Teaching. With one final hurdle remaining in the process, Multnomah is hoping to launch these programs in the fall of 2007.
Dr. Wayne Strickland, the academic dean of Multnomah Bible College said that the new programs "Represent an expansion and larger vision to what constitutes ministry." Multnomah's vision has been to develop a program that accommodates "the needs and vision of graduates whether they are going overseas, staying in a Christian ministry setting, or planning to be a voice for Christ in the marketplace," said Dr. Strickland.
"These programs will allow more men and women to combine a passion for Christ, a love for His word, and a thoroughly biblical worldview with development of skills in helping people to become lifelong learners in a formal setting."
A major step toward certified teaching programs occurred when Multnomah received regional accreditation from NWCCU during the summer of 2006. Regional accreditation allows Multnomah to offer education programs that provide special licensure, such as teaching and counseling. The final hurdle before launching the new programs is to gain approval from the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission with the State of Oregon.
For more information about the anticipated Bachelors program in Elementary Education or the Master of Arts in Teaching, contact the Admissions department at 1.800.275.4672 or email@example.com .

Disc Weights: 177g
Review: This is my 1st reveiew and I didnt see Quest discs listed anywhere, mabye its a sister company of Gateway? The plastic on the 10 m Brick is very soft and sticky like the soft blowfly. All the weight is in the middle of the disc which sounds interesting, but is probably the reason it flips over so drastickly. The 10 M means 10 meters and closer, their not kidding. With no wind you can WORK with it. If you putt hard or fast it will flip so much it will roll. It never made it into my bag, I figured it wasnt worth its weight.

Disc Weights: all
Review: My Review:The 10 meter brick pushes the envelope of what fits in the rulesof disc design to a place it needed to go for certain key situations. The disc is designed so that maximum weight is removed from the periphery leaving the edges of the disc floppy and devoid of rigidity. a result is that the weight is concentrated in the center of the disc. another result is that the edge is so floppy that the weight of the disc itself causes the edge to buckle when the disc is on edge. This disc provides a definite advantage for very windy putts in close (say up to 20 feet or so) where one might get quite nervous with a traditional putter fearing it might get blown off course. Compensating for the wind causes one to putt harder risking an equally tough or tougher comebacker. Because the 10 meter brick's weight is in the center, it is significantly more impervious to the wind than other discs. One can putt in a strong headwind in the normal fashion with confidence and without having to putt harder. The second place this putter excels is for baskets on a steep slope. For the above reasons this disc is the absolute worst rolling disc out there. - not at all likely to roll away. The same applies to a lesser degree for all putts with this disc. Third (possibly) I'd surmise that when the disc hits the chains under any conditions (or the nub of the basket) the central mass causes the disc to rotate in toward the center of the basket with more force than other discs and the floppy edges almost completely prevent it from getting hung on the "nub" and pulling back out of the basket. Thus it is more likely to "stick". For these reasons, it is also far and a way the most likely disc to get caught in the side, or even just buckle and pass on through the side into the basket. Finally the disc, like an aerobie epic, will roll out of a thumber and glide, but will do so with much less effort in the throw. The thumber and tommies are shorter with this, but will not roll away like other discs when they land - thus it is a good choice for a short range thumber onto hard or sloped ground.

Review: I'd like to thank the creators of this putter. Why? Because when I picked up this disc(?) and played with it a few times, I recognized I hit rock bottom with my short game. Like a few reviews below this: if it looks gimmicky, flies gimmicky, and feels gimmicky, chances are its a gimmicky disc. It does roll. It does spit. It does what all putters do (except fly when thrown hard); it doesn't want to go in the basket if you throw badly. It was like a bucket of cold water in the face; if I needed a putter for shots that darn close, I needed more than just a new putter. So after recognizing that the brick was in no way shape or form helping my game, I went back to dx classic rocs, changed my entire putting stroke/stance/release, and I can honestly say I am no longer the worst putter at my local course. So thank you, brick makers. It was worth the price of this... thing... to make me realize what my problem in putting was. A good craftsman doesn't blame his tools. Except when his tools are pewp.

Review: Like any new disc, the Brick takes some getting used to. And the only way to get the feel and characteristics of a disc into your hands is to throw a lot of them. After tossing one back and forth with a buddy, I decided to buy one. I liked it enough to give it a chance and bought four more so I could really give it a test. Grip: At first, it's a little funky to grip due to the floppy rim. But I've learned to grip it a little looser and throw from the center of the disc. It's an "adaptation" thing which you can get quite used to. Flight: I tend to putt hard with a lot of spin. I didn't want to adapt my putting style too much and I had a bit of trouble with the Brick at first. It has a natural anhyzer when you put some zzz's on it so intially I was missing a lot of short putts until I simply adjusted the angle a bit. Once it's flying straight it holds the line very well. I LOVE it for longer putts - the "built-in" anhyzer gives it a bit more distance with a simple flick of the wrist. It does fall with a hard hyzer if you get it up too high. Throw it more on a level plane with the basket with enough force to reach the cage and it won't flex out as severely. I prefer using the Brick for long (40+ feet) rather than a jump putt. And if I miss, it generally doesn't travel very far past the basket. It CAN roll. When it does roll though, it won't roll as far as a 'normal' putter which gives me a little more confidence on longer putts. At the basket: If you hit the heart of the chains...it's staying IN. However I've found it to be a little stingy on the strong side (although that's probably due to how hard I throw). If you don't flatten it out, it's the same deal on the weak side. I'm still working with it and I haven't given up my precious Aviars quite yet. But I am beginning to really enjoy putting with it and it may become my bread and butter putter real quick. I love the way I can use the natural anhyzer as an advantage when I'm trying to weave my way through the trees on a 30 footer. It definitely has won a permanent place in my bag. I think the Brick is worth a try depending on your putting style and how well you adapt to a new disc. Just don't try to drive with it.

Review: I should know by now that gimmick discs are just that. it was so understable I had to totally change my aim and this really threw off my game outside of 10m. I like tio hyzer putt and this just won't do it. The durability is questionable. I may still carry it for short lay-ups that must not roll as I have not been able to get it roll far. I prefer Aviar-X and also carry a birdie and aero. I have also used a steady ed and and a banger (i may get a soft banger now)

Review: This is one odd disc, looks, feel, flight, all odd. Only one round of golf and some practice so far. This thing is massively overstable or understable depending on how and how hard you throw it. 50 throws and 50 putts later I couldn't find any shot it liked other than short straight putts. Try this, pick it up like you would a plate of food, upside down, so with your thumb on the top inside edge throw it like a 50 foot hyzer.... it will go up, flip right side up and land flat dead. since I only carry about 10 discs this one will stay in the car. it does stick in the chains like no other disc...

Review: this "thing" is supposed to increase accuracy from inside 10 meters. very innovative and interesting design/idea, but is probably the largest hunk of dung you'll ever see. there is no rim or lip, therefore no glide or control. all the weight is in a 3 inch section in the middle so the outer three inches is paper thin. therfore no grip. this is a point and shoot disc. it flops around in the air like a wounded duck. there is zero finesse with this thing. i guess its properly named. one thing for sure, it will not roll so this may be an advantage on some pin placements. if you want to increase you putts inside 10 meters practice more. period. a royal hunk of dung. cant beleive its pdga approved, worse yet, i cant beleive i bought into it. once again, innovative idea but way overboard, truly a brick, someone is a marketing genius.

Review: I got this disc on a whim because it looked interesting. A little more consistency at extreme close range was all I was looking for. The disc is made of a plastic that feels like a soft dry rubber with a stiffer inner ring and has little grooves on the outer edge (they let my pointer finger fit in just right for guidance). I usually throw a Pro Rhyno within about 40 feet, and a Star Aero for anything further back that is still considered a "putt" but the Brick changed that. I can consistantely hit with the brick out to about 60 feet and it seems to give up it's momentum really easily, it just hits a chain and drops. On the negative side, I haven't had this disc long and it is already starting to show some wear, nothing serious, just little nicks and a couple smaller chunks gone, but I don't know how well it will hold up in the long term. One last warning; this disc wobbles, a lot. I gave up trying to stop it because it doesn't seem to cause any problems. Overall, I'm very happy with this disc even though it retired my beloved Rhyno.

BREVARD, N.C. – Brevard College freshman Rhem Stubbs nailed a header in the 116th minute to secure a Tornado victory, 2-1, against Erskine in double overtime Saturday at Brevard College Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
The Tornados shook the frustration of the Flying Fleet by defeating the squad for the first time in four seasons. BC (1-0-0) won its opener for the first time since at least 2008 while Erskine fell to 0-2-0 on the young 2013 campaign.
"It is a really sweet victory," said head coach and BC Athletic Director Juan Mascaro. "Every victory is sweet in soccer, but it's always great to win the first game."
Stubbs put the Tornados on the board in the 40th minute when he received a pass from Ryan Mcphillips and rocketed a shot past Erskine goalkeeper Drew Corcoran.
However, the Flying Fleet responded quickly by tying the match 27 seconds later when Jonathan Rutter bested BC goalie Heath Turner from 30 yards out following a pass from Peter Savarese.
Neither team mustered many scoring opportunities until Erskine fired three shots in a span of six seconds, but Turner and the Tornado defense stonewalled all of them to keep it tied.
In the second overtime, Alec Goettl sent a long feed, following a foul, into Stubbs, who headed in the game-winner in the 116th minute and amassed his second goal in his first collegiate game.
"I'm blessed. I have to give credit to my guys. It was a great game," said Stubbs on his collegiate debut. "We applied a lot of pressure. To have two goals in my first game…I'm pretty ecstatic."
Turner made 11 saves in his collegiate debut for the Tornados. Erskine outshot BC, 22-17 and held the advantage in corner kicks, 8-2.
The Tornados look to win consecutive matches for the first time since 2010 when they travel to Belmont Abbey in Belmont, N.C. Wednesday at 4 p.m.

I can succesfully boot with the acpi=off (in all modes excluding Nvid obv) but Im having problems with Compiz. (all the following does not relate to normal KDE/VESA boots, which are fine)
I admit im a Compiz newb so maybe i'm just being stupid but I know that ctrl-alt and the left and right arrow keys would flip the cubez but nothing happens.
furthermore, I cant even click in a window to enter text into it (or move it):
EG: - I open a firefox instance, click within the browser address bar but no text will enter into the addybar/window.
that goes with shell windows as well... it goes pure white when I click on it to enter text and no text will enters the window.
I have noticed that the mini run textbox on the task bar seemed to grab a hold of the text-cursor.
anyone got compiz working properly on the 1501?
also, I have checked my compiz settings and desktop-cubez is definatly eneabled.

Miranda Lambert earns first Billboard 200 number one
Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio
Miranda Lambert's new album hasn't gone platinum yet, but it is topping the charts.
Billboard.com says Platinum is debuting at number one on both the Billboard 200 and the Country Albums list, with first-week sales of 180,000. That figure also represents Miranda's best sales week to date.
While Platinum is Lambert's fifth album to top the country chart, it marks her first number one on the all-genre tally. It also makes Miranda just the eleventh female country singer to have a Billboard 200 number one album since 1956, when the chart became a regular fixture in the publication.

Scene two brings us back to reality, where Ryder Scott is still raging mad at Cory Miles for striking him and ends up at the home of his artist friend, Rip Stone. He intends to call the police, but when he gets there he finds Stone standing in front of a mirror, naked, covering himself in paint. Scott drops the phone and picks up a paint brush, eager to show Stone a few strokes that get them both rock hard and ready to fuck. These two ripped, hung studs give a whole new meaning to 'art appreciation.'

well for one thing, pyrit always works better on the host, rather than in a VM.
Okay, I've search thru this forum to find info on whether it is really required to run the Pyrit Batch command before running the pyrit crack command (pyrit -r test.cap -e MyOtherNetwork attack_db) to crack WPA, but I didn't find any threads about it so i made this one. From the screenshot above , I've been running the pyrit batch for 24 hrs and it's at 14% from an 11gb wordlist import, it seemed to me the wordlist import is faster than batching. i was just wondering if we could just import the wordlist with pyrit and execute the pyrit crack command without batching? Obviously, I am new to pyrit and I hope you guys would guide me. Thank you. I find this cracking stuff very fun, it's like trying to solve a puzzle
well for one thing, pyrit always works better on the host, rather than in a VM.
use this
pyrit -r test.cap -e MyOtherNetwork -i passfile.txt attack_passthrough
Pyrit's fundamental purpose is to create "rainbow tables". Attack functionality wasn't added until later releases. Batching, refers to batch processing all words in the database with a given essid as the salt. If you don't want to create a rainbow table, use attack_passthrough, as previously stated. If you want to create the table, and attack it at the same time use attack_batch. by the way, questions like this, that can be answered by reading a programs documentation REALLY piss people off.(but at least you searched the forums first)
A true gentleman, a good hearty guy.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Screenshot of not working
I also tried this command and doesn't work
pyrit -r test.cap -e MyOtherNetwork -i passfile.txt attack_passthrough
The main reason why I don't want to use Pyrit Batch is because I don't have enough disk space. I only have 30 GB for backtrack and right now it's batching at 16% with 40% of extra space left on hard drive out of the 30GB. So I rather pyrit crack wpa from wordlist directly.
Did you run ayet?Code:pyrit benchmark
Do any GPUs show up or just CPU cores?
Tiocfaidh ár lá
If you have not got enough space you can pass it to cowpatty.
VMware cant use graphics cards on host machines so wont show up in pyrit benchmarks.Code:pyrit -e test1 -i /pentest/passwords/wordlists/wordlist.lst -o- passthrough | /pentest/wireless/cowpatty/cowpatty -d - -s test1 -r wpa.cap
You cant use laptop wireless cards either as both these and the GPU cant be seperated from the host machine like a USB device can.
You could use bridge mode to get to the net.
What i have got is a hard drive with BT4 on it which is 12GB parition, enough to install updates and Nvidia drivers etc, then you can put the password file on the other partition.

MORE Dudley borough children scored five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C than ever before, according to national performance tables published yesterday (Thursday January 24).
A total of 83.2 per cent of pupils across Dudley achieved the top grades compared to 81 per cent last year.
However, the figures show the number of teens leaving school with top grades in subjects including English and maths fell by nearly two per cent.
In 2011 - 58.5 per cent of students gained five GCSES (including English and maths) but statistics show the number dropped to 56.1 per cent last year - compared to the national average of 58.8 per cent.
The hiccup is thought to be because of the controversial change in the marking of the GCSE English exam this time round - which resulted in a dip in achievement figures for a number of schools across the borough and sparked anger from headteachers.
Councillor Tim Crumpton, Dudley's cabinet member for children's services, said: "We all know the English GCSE was messed with centrally. If they'd taken these exams earlier they would have had higher scores."
But he praised the efforts of borough schoolchildren and their teachers and added: "I know these kids did their best."

Look for '20-40%' Hike in Texas Health Insurance Costs Due to Obamacare
San Antonio business owners finally got the answers most of us are looking for as we brace for the start of Obamacare October 1. Mainly...how much are my health insurance premiums going to go up?
"We're saying anywhere from a 20% to a 40% increase in price," Joanna Antongiovanni, Past President of the Texas Association of Health Underwriters told the session, which was sponsored by the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.
But as Antongiovanni and other experts pointed out, those 20 to 40 percent increases won't be absorbed equally. For one, she says the increase in premiums will vary wildly due to age.
"The younger employees will pay more, and the younger employees may end up paying a little bit less," she said.
Also, she says employees of small businesses may end up seeing a higher jump in health insurance premiums than those who work for larger corporations.
One reason for the differential, she says, are rules written in to the Affordable Care Act, believe it or not that's the real name for Obamacare, which will affect the premiums that all of us pay. Most people who receive health insurance through their company are enrolled in what is called a 'cafeteria plan,' where the employee's portion of the premium is deducted from their paycheck.
"In Texas right now we have a one to seven ratio," Antongiovanni said. "That means you can't charge the oldest person in the group more than seven times what you charge the youngest. That is squeezed with what is called 'age band compression', with the community rating, and it goes to a one to three."
Since older people naturally have far more health issues than younger people, historically, younger people have paid far less for health insurance. That is going to change as younger people are being forced to pay more and more of the burden for keeping premiums for older people down.
She says there is also a rule in Obamacare that deductibles can't be more than $2,000, but that will be waived in many cases.
Antongiovanni says there will be huge questions dealing with the implantation of Obamacare in the first several months of 2014, and she says an easy way many employers are getting around those questions...is to start their 2014 insurance plans in December of 2013. That means, they can go the entire 12 months without being subjected to Obamacare rules.
"The ones that are renewing in December may avoid it altogether, because by the time they renew again in 2014, those changes will already have been fixed."
Greater Chamber President Richard Perez says he has not seen a rush of local companies cutting employee hours or reducing staff sizes to try to stay 'under the Obamacare radar.'
"That is kind of one of those urban myths," Perez said. "If I just don't have so many employees than I don't have to worry about it."
Antongiovanni says many employers and workers will find few changes to their health insurance plans, or to the costs they pay.
"There are a lot of employers which are already offering minimum essential coverage at an affordable price," she said. "They will not see the true 'shock factor' that we hear about on the news."

No problem if there is no other complaint. See that you avoid freqent tea and coffee. Avoud alcohol and other stimulants. Drink only as much water as you feel thirsty (8-10 glasses). Adapt a healthy lifestyle. Do go for a routine medical check up if required. Revert with the feed back.

I missed my period on 5 july. I used pregnancy kit, it shows positive result. Now what is my stage .sometimes I have pelvic pain also. I don't have nausea, fatigue.I am always energetic. Sometimes I feel very hungry .Is it sure, I am pregnant?
Hi, Once the UPT test gives positive result, pregnancy is confirmed. Pregnancy duration is already more than 6 weeks. So, do an U/S scan of the pelvis to assess the exact age and growth of the foetus and revert back with the reports.

Here are some quick solutions that worked for my setup of backtrack 5 gnome 64bit
1. To get the database to load with available db_drivers, just start metasploit msfconsole from the terminal or run from the backtrack menu if you are root.
2. When you try to run an auxillary module or scanner you receive an error about pcaprub not being loaded.
My solution
Compile the pcap module from the /msf3/external folder:
1. ruby extconf.rb && make
sudo make install
2. cd /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.2/x86_64-linux
cp pcaprub.so /opt/framework3/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux
I can confirm that this works also on an install of 32-bit BT5 virtual machine, using gnome. As I posted in another thread, the 4.0 version of the framework is available & will hopefully resolve this & other issues.
If I could figure out how to scuba dive & hack at the same time, there would be nothing I couldn't do...
Still a valid fix on the latest rev

It is important for students who have questions about the Alcohol Policy and its enforcement to read and ask questions of members of the Residential Life and/or Student Conduct Programs staff.
The following represent some common questions students have about the policy on alcohol possession and consumption at SVSU:
Where can I find the policy ?
It is available in its entirety in on the web at svsu.edu/studentconduct/policies/alcoholandotherdrugs .
Why does SVSU care if minors drink? After all, it's college!
In short, alcohol use can be an extremely disruptive force in a communal environment, like a college campus. Additionally, statistics support the fact that alcohol is often responsible for students "failing to succeed" in college. Finally, the University is concerned about the potential for medical emergencies that result from alcohol use.
Where can I drink at SVSU?
Only in designated areas of campus. First Year Suites and Living Center North are designated as alcohol-free (zero tolerance) living areas. Assigned residents of Living Center South, Living Center Southwest, University Village East, University Village West and Pine Grove who are 21 years of age or older, and who have obtained a valid alcohol permit initiated through the Resident Director are permitted to possess and consume alcohol in accordance with the Policy.
Can I drink on campus if I'm under 21?
No, you may not drink if you are under 21. SVSU complies with State law. If you are confronted in possession or under the influence of alcohol, University Police Officers have the discretion to issue a citation (MIP). Can I get a campus charge AND an MIP? Yes. The courts will only affect you as a citizen of the State of Michigan; SVSU can only affect you as a student at the University. As a member of both "communities", you are subject to the rules and consequences of each. It's not double-jeopardy, it's multiple jurisdictions.
If I get an MIP, what happens?
Make sure you follow the instructions on the citation!
I heard that RA's are out looking for intoxicated students after 2 am on Friday and Saturday nights. Is that a fact?
No, the RA's are responsible for ensuring that our students are safe. If, in the course of their evening rounds, they observe (see, hear or smell) a student who is obviously intoxicated, they must approach the situation. If they determine a minor is in possession or has consumed alcohol, they are to contact a Resident Director and University Police. RA's are also obligated to check out situations that are referred by other students.
Can I pressure an RA to let me off the hook?
That would NOT be ethical and puts the RA in a really tough position, but in reality, RA's do not determine who is ultimately responsible in any conduct-related matter. They merely record the details of incidents and turn the information in to their Resident Director, who will interview all students involved and determine individual level of participation.
What can I expect if Res Life staff and University Police come into a room?
Staff typically check to see if anyone requires medical attention. After that, you'll be asked to provide identification and questions will be asked. There might be circumstances when you are asked to submit to a PBT to determine blood alcohol level. In most incidents, IF a violation has occurred, you will be told to stop the 'party.' Alcohol may be confiscated or dumped out, depending on the circumstances. If no violation is in progress, you'll get a smile and wish for a good evening!
What happens if I'm not drinking, but other students are?
All circumstances are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and each student's level of accountability for policy violations are considered separately. Generally, if the drinking occasion is in your unit, you will have responsibility for hosting. If you are in a unit authorized for alcohol consumption, and not drinking, the likelihood is that you'll be complimented for making a good decision.
What does "excessive quantities" mean?
A reasonable limit for the amount of alcohol permitted in a single drinking occasion has been defined see web site: svsu.edu/studentconduct/policies/alcoholandother drugs. No kegs, trash cans or other common sources of alcohol is permitted at any time.
I'm collecting empties for cash ... OK?
In areas not authorized for consumption, empty alcohol containers are considered possession and will result in a conduct referral. In areas where alcohol can be consumed, empties may be counted toward the total limit allowed per eligible resident student if it is apparent the containers were consumed as part of that drinking occasion. It is expected that students will appropriately dispose of all beverage containers in a timely manner as part of the Health and Safety/Housekeeping requirement.
But my friends brought the beer!
The resident student who is hosting will be responsible for behaviors introduced in the community by their guests. If you can't control a situation, you should call for help!
I'm 21, but my roommates aren't. Will I be charged with furnishing them if they drink in the room?
It depends! Hopefully they will be honest about where they obtained the alcohol. And we know that it is not necessarily YOU. We certainly attempt to get the facts before passing any judgment on the matter. It would be a good idea to let them know up-front that you won't buy for them! You'd be surprised how much they'll respect you for standing up for yourself.
RA's hand out NTA's. Is this a ticket?
No, it is only a Notice to Appear, which means you have to make an appointment for an interview with a Resident Director or other conduct officer within a stated period of time. If you ignore the NTA, you could be charged with a violation. It's best if you schedule an appointment to speak on your behalf ... it certainly can't hurt!
Who can get information about me if I am charged with a violation of the Alcohol Policy?
If you are under 21, the University notifies your parents after all due process (hearings and appeals) are exhausted. The Athletic Department is notified for student athletes, as well. Otherwise, the information is neither included on your academic transcript nor provided to any future or current employer. You may elect to waive your right to privacy, but must do so in writing in order for anyone else to have access to the information. We recommend that students notify their parents and/or coach before the formal notification reaches them. They seem to react better that way!
When can I pay the fine? Where?
Following your meeting with an RD or other conduct officer, the commensurate fine will show up on your Cardinal Direct account. You can pay at the Cashier's office then.
What's the worst that can happen?
Alcohol violations can be serious ... especially if they are ignored. First time infractions of a serious nature and multiple violations can result in removal from SVSU housing and/or the University. Many students will find themselves on "probation", which means that if found responsible for any other violation of the Code of Student Conduct, a student could be suspended from housing or enrollment. Alcohol violations are cumulative over the course of a student's academic career at SVSU ... so each year builds on the past.
The SVSU Policy Concerning the use of alcohol and Other Drugs was written as evidence of SVSU's commitment to its students by:
• Encouraging a campus environment where healthful choices are made;
• Working to prevent alcohol and other drug abuse;
• Accepting responsibility for one's own choices and behavior;
• Encouraging alcohol-free programs;
• Supporting and empowering those who choose responsibly not to use alcohol;
• Enforcing University, federal, state and local codes, ordinances and statutes which govern alcohol and other drug use.
You are encouraged to seek answers to any questions you have regarding the Policy Concerning the Use of Alcohol and Other Drugs, as well as others. Please feel free to consult with any member of the Residential Life or Student Conduct Programs staff, to learn more.

Tony C. (Conjugacion) is an award-winning recording artist, composer, television personality, stage actor, producer, director, and kumu hula. The recognition of his work in these many artistic endeavors is impressive. In an era where Hawaiian music is realizing a creative expansion of its own and an exposure on an international arena, Tony C. is one of the few artists that is successfully creating new innovative work in both traditional and contemporary genres.
In 1985, Tony's debut recording project, Hawaiian Passion, was released and resulted in a sweep of the major awards at the local equivalent of the Grammys, the Nä Hökü Hanohano Awards. He walked away with Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Traditional Hawaiian Album of the Year, and Male Vocalist of the Year.
This remarkable achievement was only the beginning of a recording career that has spanned two decades and produced 8 recordings and an anticipated new release, Nä Hula Punahele, in early 2007.

Point your waterborne migraine machine south toward those blinking red-and-white towers on the horizon. The warm water around pressurized reactor units three and four is perfect for your radical Jet Ski acrobatics. The yellowish-green foam floating on the surface flies so beautifully when you blast through at full throttle. Live your Waterworld fantasy. Run your screaming engine until it melts. Just remember, the FPL-owned power plant holds distinction among the best nuclear performers in the nation. Go on, get wild. We dare you.
In a town in which park often is synonymous with ball field, and in which much of the public green space is rendered inhospitable by a lack of shade, Morningside Park is a revelation. Indeed it may be one of Miami-Dade's few "big-city parks," the kind envisioned by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted when he created New York's Central Park as an escape from the noise and nervousness of urban life. Located in the historic residential neighborhood of the same name, Morningside Park runs for five blocks along Biscayne Bay and features not only tennis and basketball courts, a playground, a baseball field, and a municipal pool, but also picnic benches, walking trails, and (of all things) trees. Lots of trees. It's a perfect place for curling up with a good book under a banyan, teaching the kids how to ride their bikes, or just staring out over the water.
This isn't so much a park as it is a small oasis. Located on a canal and squeezed between two residential lots on a quiet, secluded street, this little patch of green can't really accommodate more than a dozen or so people at a time. Luckily it's usually empty (who else but the neighbors would even suspect it's there?). The perfect place for an intimate outing, the park features a couple of picnic tables, a grill, some benches, a sandbox and a tot lot for the kids. Pets are not allowed, but if you're an animal lover, keep an eye out for the ducks that make their home in and around the canal.
Many jiu-jitsu schools claim some connection to the Gracie family, a legendary clan of Brazilian fighters whose unique martial arts style continues to reign supreme in famous no-holds-barred confrontations, such as the Ultimate Fighting Competition (UFC). But South Florida has only one school with official accreditation from Helio Gracie himself, founder of the sport and father of an entire family of world-class fighters. Brazilian jiu-jitsu's mix of judo with simple and effective ground-grappling techniques proves incredibly effective against larger and stronger opponents. Small, soft-spoken instructor Pedro Valente, who was a student of Helio Gracie, makes this point painfully clear. At first glance he is unlikely to inspire fear in an opponent, yet his submission hold can bring down just about any once-aggressive rival. Valente's method for strategic conquest, while certainly not easy, is a lot less strenuous than, say, pumping major iron. And for what? Beefcakes, beware: Think twice before picking on some little guy. He just may have been trained at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Ouch!
Don't worry that gyrating in those curve-hugging microbriefs you indulgently purchased during the holidays will make you look like a floozy. At the Winter Party (which is held in March) you can writhe on the beach with a throng of thong-clad dudes until the sun goes down and support equal rights at the same time. Since its 1993 inception, this circuit party, which attracts about 3000 revelers from around the world during tourist season, has helped support the Dade Human Rights Foundation, sponsors of SAVE Dade and half a dozen other groups and programs that fight gay, lesbian, and transgender discrimination throughout the county. So go ahead, shake your booty and shake small-minded bigots out of the trees.
Tugboats and freighters cruise by on the Miami River as you butterfly and breaststroke in the City of Miami's José Martí pool. Overhead the dramatic arch of the I-95 overpass, humming with the fierce pace of city life, reminds you just how far from the rat race you really are. Just minutes from downtown and Brickell Avenue, this pool offers a great lunch-hour escape. Pool hours are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with an adult lap swim until 3:00 p.m. Call for weekend hours. Admission to the pool is free, and the locker rooms are clean. Swimming lessons also are offered here. When you're done bathing, the adjacent park provides a respite for you to meditate as you dry off and watch the world go by. Now you're ready to dive back into real life.

A-Rod Used PEDs in MVP Season— With MLB's Blessing
(NEWSER) – Alex Rodriguez used performance-enhancing drugs in 2007, the year he hit 54 home runs, won his second MVP award, and then opted out of his contract, leading to the biggest pay-day in baseball history—and he did it with the league's blessing. An excerpt from the upcoming book, Blood Sport, published in Sports Illustrated yesterday reveals that Rodriguez applied for a "therapeutic use exemption" to baseball's drug policy, which allows players to take banned substances if they have a medical reason. Rodriguez got an exemption to use testosterone, the league revealed in Rodriguez's 2013 grievance hearing.
