Hey GOP 2012ers: You Lie!
How many times can a candidate peddle falsehoods before it's okay to use the L-word?
Let's cut to the chase: The GOP presidential field is a pack of liars.
That sounds like a rather intemperate assessment, the sort of statement that is motivated by bitter partisanship or blinding ideology. But taking a clear-eyed look at both the false statements hurled at Monday's Republican debate (brought to you by the odd merger of CNN and the Tea Party Express) and those deployed at other times in this still burgeoning primary race, it's difficult to reach any other conclusion. Most of these presidential wannabes are shoveling lies—and forcing fact-checkers to work overtime.
Glenn Kessler, who writes the Washington Post's Fact Checker column, spotted numerous whoppers at Monday's debate. (It was easy work.) Some examples:
- Texas Gov. Rick Perry repeated the conservative trope that Obama's stimulus package "created zero jobs." Zero? The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says the bill lifted employment levels—by creating or saving jobs—by up to 3 million jobs. Politifact.com, a Pulitzer Prize-winning site, previously awarded Perry a "pants on fire" verdict for making this untrue claim in September.
- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney claimed that President Barack Obama "cut Medicare by $500 billion," and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), more provocatively (of course) contended that the president "stole over $500 billion out of Medicare to switch it to Obamacare." Not so. Obama's health care plan calls for saving $500 billion over 10 years, to be squeezed from payments to health care providers. The amount of Medicare spending will continue to rise. Moreover, the House GOP budget this year calls for the same level of cuts (even though Republican candidates ran against Democrats in the last election, accusing Obama and the Dems of slashing Medicare).
- Newt Gingrich boasted that he "helped balance the budget for four straight years" when he was the House Speaker. Actually, the budget was only balanced for two of the years covered by his speakership. And it was balanced partly because revenues were increased by President Bill Clinton; Gingrich opposed Clinton's tax hikes.
- Bachmann threw out another one of her favorite fake charges: By trying to raise the debt ceiling, Obama was seeking a "$2.4 trillion blank check." There's nothing true about this charge. Raising the debt ceiling only permitted the federal government to pay its bills for spending already approved; it did not provide the president with any ability to spend. (Note to Bachmann: Per the Constitution, Congress controls spending.)
Politifact.com found other big lies hiding in plain sight:
- Under attack from Romney, Perry defended his claim that Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme," noting, "It has been called a Ponzi scheme by many people before me." Politifact.com declares, "the analogy does not hold up."
- Perry was bashed by Bachmann for issuing a 2007 executive order requiring all Texas girls to receive a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (a vaccine produced by Merck, which had retained Perry's former chief of staff as a lobbyist and donated to his campaign). Perry, admitting he had erred in how he had imposed this requirement, repeatedly asserted that he had allowed an opt-out for parents who didn't want their daughters to receive this vaccine. According to Politifact Texas, this claim is "mostly false."
Oh, and there have been so many more falsehoods flung during the fledgling campaign. At the previous week's debate at the Reagan presidential library, ex-Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania claimed that Obama was forced to take action in Libya by the United Nations. Not even close. Obama's ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, had pushed the Security Council for a very forceful resolution endorsing military intervention in Libya. During this debate, Romney, according to Factcheck.org, "misleadingly claimed that the Massachusetts health care overhaul [he enacted] affected just 8 percent of the state's residents, while the federal law will affect '100 percent of the people.'" Both plans compelled everyone to obtain insurance or pay a penalty.
Perry was not speaking the truth when he called Obama an "abject liar" for claiming that overall crime rates in towns on the US-Mexico border had declined. Crime rates had dropped. Perry also sidestepped the truth when he blamed the high rate of uninsured Texans on the federal government's refusal to grant his state flexibility for its various health care programs. It was the Bush administration that rejected the state's request for a waiver, because its application was shoddy and incomplete. Then Texas never resubmitted the application.
Bachmann, for her part, dropped one false bomb after another. She claimed the CBO had found that "Obamacare is killing jobs." (Nope. The CBO had said that under Obama's health care overhaul a small number of people who are only working to obtain health care insurance would leave their jobs because they would be able to receive health care through other means.) She maintained that "Obamacare took over one-sixth of the American economy." (It was no government takeover. Politifact.com branded this contention the "lie of the year" in 2010.) And she falsely asserted that Obama has told Israel that "they need to shrink back to their indefensible 1967 borders." (Obama said that the 1967 borders should be a starting point for the Israeli-Palestinian talks.)
All told, this is a big pile of collective bull. (And we're only considering two debates.) But this heap of untruths poses a problem to political journalists: Should they take serial liars seriously? Given that one of them might end up in the White House, they must.
The mainstream media tends to shy away from describing candidates as liars. It can be seen as a qualitative judgment, and they like to stick to the facts. Media outlets do provide fact-checking features, such as Kessler's excellent column. But they don't see it as their job to call out the candidates. After all, did CNN's Wolf Blitzer press any of the GOPers on their false statements?
The L-word is heavy artillery—ammo that's tough to deploy. Lying suggests willfully peddling information known to be false. And who can read the mind of a politician? Yet in many of the instances cited above, the perps are repeat offenders—restating false statements that had already been demonstrated to be untrue. So though one cannot see what a candidate is thinking—perhaps Bachmann truly believes that Obama "stole" $500 billion from Medicare—a public figure who willfully (and repeatedly) neglects facts warrants being branded a liar. If not a liar, there's another choice: delusional.
Politicians on all sides do tend to mug the truth. But the GOP race has amounted to a crime spree. And that's as much of a story as who's up and who's down.

Audio Life after foretsry: Where to from here for Tasmania's Economy?
Martin CuddihyTranscript
DAVID MARK: The collapse of the once mighty timber company, Gunns, has forced Tasmanians to refocus their attention on the state's ailing economy.
Forestry is simply not the economic powerhouse it once was.
But with a population of just 500,000, the loss of more than 200 jobs in the island state still stings.
Tasmania's Premier, Lara Giddings, is looking to Asia to drive the next economic boom.
From Hobart Martin Cuddihy reports.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: It's been a sorry few weeks for Tasmania's economy.
The Premier, Lara Giddings.
LARA GIDDINGS: I understand that Tasmania is facing some challenges. There's no denying that. We've got to be careful that we don't slip back when in fact Tasmania has come such a long way.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: The only abattoir on King Island closed down this month and the once all-conquering Gunns is in voluntary administration.
More than 200 workers now face an uncertain future.
Economist and consultant Dr Paul Blacklow has done some quick calculations, and says the recent job losses amount to almost 0.5 per cent of Tasmania's GDP.
PAUL BLACKLOW: It's not that great but it's been a lot worse in the past. I mean, you can use the level of unemployment as a bit of a guide to the level of economic activity. And, you know, it's about 7.5 per cent, sort of around approaching 8 per cent, which isn't, it's not great, but it has been up at 10, 11 per cent in the past.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: Tasmania's Premier, Lara Giddings, is also the state's Treasurer.
She's all too aware of the fiscal situation facing her state.
But she has a strategy to see through the tough times, and the focus is Asia.
LARA GIDDINGS: When you have a middle class of about 500 million people now that's going to expand to about 3 billion over the next 20 years. These are people who have disposable income, who want to ensure that they are feeding their children with the best food that they can give their children, that they're educating their children in the most positive way for their future, and that they can travel the world. These are the opportunities that are there for Tasmania to grab hold of.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: A lot of that is primary industry. So is that where you're really looking to grow the economy, in primary industries.
LARA GIDDINGS: On my recent trade mission we focused on primary industries with dairy and irrigation and cherries; but we also looked at the mining industry, we looked at tourism, we looked at international education, we looked at renewable energy.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: Economist Paul Blacklow says it sounds like the right idea, but...
PAUL BLACKLOW: A lot of economists always propose adopting a particular strategy they would like to see. So set the business environment so it's easy to do business and then let firms decide what the next best thing is. It's not really up to governments.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: Hundreds of Tasmanian farmers have been earning money by leasing their land to grow forestry plantations.
The demise of Gunns has left them without as much as $20 million.
The head of the Farmers and Graziers Association is Jan Davis.
JAN DAVIS: We need to see an environment where farming is encouraged in Tassie, rather than discouraged. So that instead of putting more and more red and green tape barriers up, we can actually streamline some of the things that make it difficult to do business here.
MARTIN CUDDIHY: But Lara Giddings says she doesn't want to hear about the difficulties, because that's half the battle.
LARA GIDDINGS: Somehow we seem to at times fall into a zone of negativity. And we must lift ourselves out of that. And that's not something I can do on my own.
DAVID MARK: Tasmania's Premier, Lara Giddings ending that report by Martin Cuddihy.

On Tuesday I lost my beloved UE-10 Pro. Close to six years of service... shame on me.
After some reading and investigation, I've restricted the spectrum of choices to the two models in the title.
The reason being that I don't want to deal with cross-continent shipping and customs. UK and France, from Italy, mean that I won't pay extra customs and shipping should not be prohibitive (important in case I need to work on perfect fitting).
I've read pretty much all the reviews I could find on the net but, since my appointment with the audiologist for the earprints is on Tuesday... there's still three days before I make up my mind.
Anyone with relevant information, please step up and talk. :D
I've discarded Compact Monitors Stage series, it's more expensive and I don't see the point in spending more without a proper cause (nothing I've read convinces me they're worth €200 more).
Edit: I've read shigzeo's two reviews. I'm currently more inclined toward the T1s (coming from acrylic I'm curious to try silicone) but I'm eager to hear your comments.
Edit 2: if shigzeo reads this, I'd be really curious about isolation. Him or anyone that's tried both acrylic and silicone customs. Does the silicone isolate more or it's just a matter of proper fit. Sensaphonics quotes -37db for their IEMs but ACS report the usual -26db. ???

Fans Generate Sabres Energy
by Staff Writer / Buffalo SabresDespite the massive infrastructure damage and an estimated 200,000 homes without power around the city, a capacity crowd provided the spark that the Sabres needed and fueled the team to its first five-game winning streak to open a season since 1975-76.
"Somewhere in Buffalo needed some electricity, I guess it might as well be here," said goaltender Ryan Miller, who recorded his first regulation victory of the season with 23 saves. "The fans did a great job. I guess they needed a release this weekend with so much hardship and inconvenience going on right now. It was fun to get the people out to the rink and give them a good show."
"We've always said that our fans are absolutely the best and they proved it again tonight," said head coach Lindy Ruff. "I don't know if I saw an empty seat. You look around outside and its absolute devastation in some areas. To come to the rink and see the number of people that showed up, knowing that there is probably a good number with the garage door open and the generator running still, kudos to them.
"That's a big enough lift for our team alone."
The crowd reached a fevered pitch as Chris Drury etched his name alongside the likes of Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin and Danny Gare with is first career hattrick.
The achievement was a long time in the making for the Sabres co-captian. Drury appeared in 555 games before recording the 161st hattrick in franchise history.
"It's a good feeling," said Drury, who became the 54th player in team history to force fans to throw their buckets. "It's not something that I was focusing on night in and night out. It's just one of those things that you never know when it's going to come."
Only four other players currently on the roster have scored three goals in a single game: Maxim Afinogenov; Jochen Hecht; Jason Pominville; and Derek Roy.
Drury added the secondary assist on Ales Kotalik's first period goal to lead all scorers with four points in the game.
Nine other Sabres rounded out the scoring for Buffalo. Daniel Briere registered a goal and two assists, while Kotalik, Afinogenov and Hecht each had a goal.
Rookie Jiri Novotny and Jaroslav Spacek added two assists apiece.
"That was probably as good as I've seen us play in the first five games," said Ruff. "That looked like our team, the way we skated and the type of chances we created."
The blowout victory was a welcomed occasion for a team that has won three of the previous four games in overtime or a shootout. The only negative, according to Drury, was another slow start by the squad.
Buffalo was forced to battle back from a two-goal deficit for the win for the third time in five games this season.
"We can't comeback down by two every night," said Drury. "I'm sure it's something that we're going to work on in the next couple of days.
"But the big picture is that we battled back as a group and turned it into a big night for us."

I KNOW everyone is sick to death of Speidi, but I read Spencer Pratt's twitter post and just couldn't resist re-posting it.
This is the day my earth dad wishes he had worn a condom. No joke.
I'm sure even Spencer's father doesn't really feel this way, but the tweet made me chuckle.

Walsall FC: Sam Mantom backs Reece Flanagan
Sam Mantom today backed Reece Flanagan to break through next season as Walsall saw their hopes of re-signing Febian Brandy extinguished.
The Saddlers had looked favourites to land the 25-year-old after his release from Sheffield United but the winger has signed for Championship side Rotherham.
Brandy had spent the second half of last season back on loan at the Banks's Stadium.
Meanwhile, Mantom has tipped Flanagan to provide him and Adam Chambers with competition in midfield.
"Reece has got a lot of potential," he said. "He went on loan last season and did really well.
"Hopefully he can push me and Adam Chambers."

Hollywood's holiday rush is long over, and we're months away from the blockbuster extravaganza that keeps us entertained through the summer. But that doesn't mean you won't have a reason to hit up a movie theater this month. Throughout February, studios will release several highly anticipated films. From young adult hits and kid-friendly flicks to star-powered thrillers and exciting historical adventures, there will be something for everybody at the cinema this month. Here are just four films people are buzzing about.
1. The Monuments Men, dir. George Clooney
Set at the end of World War II, The Monuments Men tells the true story of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Program. This Allied group of art historians, museum directors, and curators was assigned to rescue valued artworks from Nazi possession and return them to their rightful owners. The comedy-drama features an all-star cast that includes Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Cate Blanchett, and George Clooney, who also directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Grant Heslov. If you're a fan of historical films and ensemble pieces, you've got plenty of reasons to check out The Monuments Men starting this weekend.

In the following code, which can be found in this tutorial, what does the operator ^= mean?
Thanks in advance.Code:#define SWAP(a, b) a ^= b; b ^= a; a ^= b;
^ is the symbol for the logical operator XOR (exclusive OR)
a ^= b is the same as a = a ^ b
Thanks. Appreciate it.
So it means
a equals exclusively a or exclusively b
So why then does it repeat the same thing two times, basically stating
a equals exclusively a or exclusively b
b equals exclusively a or exclusively b
(and then it says it again)
a equals exclusively a or exclusively b

stupid question, what is an exclusive or?
I was going to say that there aren't any stupid questions, but to be honest, after spending years on a forum on computer security(Not this one), I have to say that there are.
Yours, however, isn't.
XOR is an operator(So to speak) that is part of the boolean logic system invented by George Boole.
You should really look it up, as it's a much too complex subject for me to explain in a forum post, but let it suffice to say that the above code, due to the nature of the XOR operator, swaps the values. Also, boolean logic is pretty much the base of all circuitry ever made. Your computer is based on this stuff.
"What's up, Doc?"
"'Up' is a relative concept. It has no intrinsic value."
Sadly there are stupid questions, I work in customer service and deal with them on a daily basis. I think that there people who simply should not be allowed to have computers. I had to try and explain to a woman that if her computer was displaying another language that had to do with the settings on her computer and it had nothing to do with her monitor.
But all that aside
So I did google it, which is what I probably should have done in the first place, and all I can say is what a neat function! I'm a complete noob slowly working my way through my first C++ class. I've just mastered the += function and the basic concept of switches.
I thought I would start haunting programming boards to see what I can learn. I always seem to do better when I get in way over my head and am forced to sink or swim.
Same here. For some strange reason, I tend to learn more when asking a question on a forum, and get an answer, and go through each problem like that (if necessary; I do my best to learn the "normal" way), so its broken down, instead of learning by reading pages on a subject that is way over my head, though I always try to do that (and end up coming to the support forums, anyway, when I get stuck). I guess though if I didn't make an effort to read up first on the subject I'm trying to learn, I wouldn't even have any questions to ask, and so it at least serves as a motivator when I read up on the subject first. My brain seems to be geared to ask, and receive, type of learning. But, I eventually learn (by one method or another), and come back to the same board that helped me, to help other users that may be in the same boat I was.

If your child is sick, you'll probably have many questions to ask your doctor. But have you made a list of questions and concerns to share with your pharmacist?
If you're like most parents, the answer is probably "very few" or "none." But today's pharmacists are trained to provide valuable information about the prescriptions they fill and to answer questions that affect the patients they serve.
To encourage questions from their customers, many pharmacies provide counseling rooms where pharmacists can talk to patients and families privately.
Pharmacists cannot diagnose medical conditions but can answer many questions about medicines, recommend nonprescription drugs, and discuss side effects of specific medications. And some also can provide blood sugar and blood pressure monitoring and offer advice on home monitoring tests.
Most pharmacists who graduated in the 1980s received 5-year bachelor's degrees. Recently, it has become popular for pharmacists to receive a doctor of pharmacy degree. This 6- to 8-year-program requires pharmacists in training to go on hospital rounds with doctors and be there when decisions are made to begin drug use. These skills are particularly useful for pharmacists who operate within hospital settings.
Pharmacists are required to stay up-to-date on the changing world of medicine and to take continuing education classes on drug therapy. (Requirements can vary from state to state.)
Many pharmacies have private counseling areas where you talk without interruption. Some pharmacists also accept questions over the telephone. And if you ask, almost all pharmacies will provide you with detailed literature about a particular medication.
It's never too late to ask your pharmacist a question. Even if you don't think of one until after you get home, you can still call the pharmacist for advice. That's part of his or her job.
A typical question parents have is about allergic reactions. First and foremost, make sure that your pharmacist knows exactly what allergies your child has and what medications your child is already taking. This will help the pharmacist protect against possible drug interactions that could be harmful.
Once you have received the medication, always look at it carefully before you leave the pharmacy. Read the instructions to be sure you understand how to give it to your child. Even if the medication is a refill, check to make sure the drug is the same size, color, and shape that you are used to receiving. If anything doesn't look right, ask.
Consider the following additional questions for your pharmacist:
Some parents may forget to have their children finish a prescription. If the medication (for example, a pain medication) is to be taken "as needed for symptoms," you don't need to finish the entire prescription within a set number of days. But with prescriptions like antibiotics, the medication must be finished for it to be effective.
Throw away any old prescriptions. If your child doesn't finish a medication, don't save it for a future illness because most drugs lose their potency after a year. Do not use after the expiration date and talk with your doctor before giving old prescriptions to your child.
Another common problem is the sharing of medications between siblings. Pharmacists and doctors recommend that no one take a drug prescribed for anyone else or offer prescription drugs to another person, no matter how similar the symptoms or complaints.
Pharmacists offer the following advice:
It's important to establish a relationship with one pharmacy so that your pharmacist has a complete history of your family's prescribed medications. A pharmacist is an important resource when it comes to making sure your child is getting the right medicine.
If you move, you might want to consider staying within the same chain of pharmacy stores to ensure that your patient profiles and records are available in a common computer database. Or you could request that your most recent pharmacist give you a copy of your family's patient profiles and pharmaceutical history to take with you to share with your new pharmacist.

The Macalope doesn't understand why it's so hard for so many pundits to write a reasonable piece about Apple and why its best days may be behind it.
Ah, there's that word. "May." For some reason this simple word doesn't seem to enter into their lexicon. Sadly, there is probably no Word-A-Day calendar so remedial that we can enhance their vocabulary with this three-letter mystery.
But some do know of it. Now, sit back and be prepared to hear a harrowing tale of the unbelievable! Yes, it's the mysterious case of the Article About Apple's Doom The Macalope Approves Of!
The Macalope takes on so many very, very silly pieces about Apple that many a casual and lazy observer has concluded he believes the company should be above criticism. Indeed, this is the old strawman about Apple followers being so in the thrall of the company's patented Reality Distortion Field" that they rage against anyone who dares suggest the company is anything but flawless.
No. We just rage against your criticism because it's a laughable rehash of tired arguments we put to bed years ago and you state with utter conviction that it means Apple's doomed.
This piece by former Apple employee Michael Lopp, on the other hand, the Macalope can live with.
Apple is eventually doomed.
Well, eventually we all are.
That is to say, you all are. Mythical creatures like the Macalope are, of course, immortal. Sorry about that.
Lopp, like others, is concerned about Scott Forstall's departure. Unlike others, Lopp's better at articulating the reason this might be concerning:
...he was the best approximation of Steve Jobs that Apple had left. You came to expect a certain amount of disruption around him because that's how business was done at Apple - it was well-managed internal warfare. Innovation is not born out of a committee; innovation is a fight. It's messy, people die, but when the battle is over, something unimaginably significant has been achieved.
This is probably true. But just because Forstall is gone doesn't mean the fighting stops. And not all fighting is about innovation. Some of it's just about being a jerk.
Love him or hate him, Scott Forstall's departure makes Apple a more stable company, and I wonder if that is how it begins.
It's fine to wonder. Natural, even. What's not fine is stating with certainty you know Apple's doomed now.
How hard is it for pundits to put qualifiers like Lopp uses in? Impossible, apparently.
Heck, some of them are three whole letters.
[Editors' Note: In addition to being a mythical beast, the Macalope is not an employee of Macworld. As a result, the Macalope is always free to criticize any media organization. Even ours.]

Baby Phat and KLS Collection fashion show Fall/Winter 2009
Cape collars on dresses and jackets were a popular design in the early 1930's, and this black crepe "capelet" with silver glass beading dates from that period. It may have been worn originally with a plain black crepe dress (or attached to one), but it will add a touch of elegance and evening glamour to any dress, vintage or modern. The capelet ties in front. The areas next to the ties and all around the outer edge are thickly covered in rows of silvered glass bugle beads. In between the rows of bugle beads are squiggles made of tiny round glass beads. The back of the capelet is unlined, so you can see the threads holding the beadwork on, which in one area are discolored (the threads only--not visible on the front side). This is the only issue with the capelet, which is in very good condition. It will drape over the edge of the shoulders when worn, and has a cute "V" cutout in the center back.

Nottingham Trent edge ice hockey thriller
The University of Nottingham put in a superb shift at the capital FM Arena in the city but still went down 7-5 in the Varsity Series 2012 ice hockey.
In a highly-charged, partisan and vociferous atmosphere the sell-out crowd were treated to a see-saw game with its fair share of passion and aggression, trouble spilling over just a few times into mini brawls.
This event is the biggest of the Varsity Series and with almost 7,000 spectators is almost certainly the biggest event of its kind outside North America.
Both teams normally play together as the Nottingham Universities Mavericks but they split into their respective institutions for this one-off encounter.
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) powered into an easy 2-0 lead at the beginning of the first period looking as if they would overrun a UoN team who were yet to settle. But settle they did and clawed two goals back, through Stewart Bates and Kenneth Klinge, to finish the first period level at 2-2.
The middle period was a much more tense affair as the University took the lead through a Thomas Griffiths power play goal only for NTU to pull one back at the end of the period leaving the teams level at 3-3 going into the final period. Tired legs lead to a further six goals and although UoN took the lead again thanks to Jack Clarkson NTU came back to make it 4-4. The opposition's superior strength and staying power saw them push on to win the game 7-5 at the final hooter. The final UoN goal came from Roland Soltys.
All the money raised on the night will go this year to Cerebral Palsy Sport, a charity which is dedicated to providing opportunities for those4 with cerebral palsy to fulfil their sporting potential.
The Varsity Series 2012 continues now with Swimming, American Football at the Harvey Hadden Stadium and hockey. Find out more about the series at:
Meanwhile, there's a further chance to see the Mavericks during the special Alumni Sports Challenge Weekend on 16th/17th June. A special ice hockey Mavericks versus Ice Hockey Alumni match will take place at the smaller rink at the National Ice Centre. If you would like to play in the match or come along and watch please contact

Local Financial Advisor Joins Leading Association of Fee-Only Financial Planners
Tracy S. Burke of Conrad Siegel Investment Advisors, Inc. accepted for membership in the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA)
HARRISBURG, PA -Tracy S. Burke of Conrad Siegel Investment Advisors, Inc. in Harrisburg, PA has been accepted for membership in the National Association Of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA). With membership, Burke becomes affiliated with an organization of more than 2,400 of the most-qualified financial advisors in the nation who deliver objective, Fee-Only advice.
Membership in NAPFA and the NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisor designation are available only to Fee-Only financial advisors who meet NAPFA's stringent membership qualifications. Those standards require advisors to receive compensation only directly from their clients, to act in clients'' fiduciary interests at all times, and to provide comprehensive planning services. In addition, NAPFA has some of the industry's most rigorous education and training requirements. All candidates for membership are required to submit a complete comprehensive financial plan for a full-scale peer review. Furthermore, NAPFA's continuing education requirements exceed those of any other association of financial advisors.
"I congratulate Tracy for demonstrating his intention to provide transparent, client-centered services by making a commitment to uphold the high standards NAPFA sets for all its members," said NAPFA Chair Lauren Locker.
In contrast to most financial professionals, NAPFA members receive no commissions or other rewards for selling financial products. Those forms of compensation create potential conflicts of interest that may serve to undermine an advisor's objectivity and fiduciary responsibility. It is for this reason that all NAPFA members must sign the Fiduciary Oath that explicitly promises "to place the clients' interests first."
Ms. Locker continued: "NAPFA is leading the charge toward the development of a financial services community that rivals other professions in its desire and ability to foster trust by offering true fiduciary-level care to our clients. We welcome Tracy to our ranks and look forward to his contributions to our organization."
For more information about Fee-Only financial planning and NAPFA, visit www.napfa.org or call toll free 1-800-366-2732. You can also contact Ben Lewis, NAPFA's marketing and communications manager, at (301) 963-7555 or email@example.com.
About NAPFA
Since 1983, The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) has provided Fee-Only financial planners across the country with some of the strictest guidelines possible for professional competency, comprehensive financial planning, and Fee-Only compensation. With more than 2,400 members across the country, NAPFA has become the leading professional association in the United States dedicated to the advancement of Fee-Only financial planning.

This study is part of an Autism Centers of Excellence (ACE) Network. Although autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have a multifactorial etiology they have a large genetic component. It is also becoming clear that comprehensive efforts involving large sample sizes and methods to reduce heterogeneity are necessary to achieve maximal power to identify disease critical regions narrow enough to permit positional cloning of autism susceptibility genes. The investigators in this application aim to continue their collaborative effort that has produced and enhanced a highly successful open data and biomaterials resource for the research community, the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE). This collaborative network application, involving six research sites and the AGRE DCC, will systematically and comprehensively investigate the genetics of ASD to identify rare mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and common variation contributing to ASD susceptibility. The investigators will then perform follow up linkage studies to confirm several new loci identified based on autism-related endophenotypes or co-variants, such as language delay, sex, and head circumference. Genetic risk factors identified in the mostly white European sample will be tested for association in the African American sample to determine whether these cohorts share the same genetic risk factors. All phenotypic and genotype data will be made accessible via the Internet on a rolling basis, including minority families, further enhancing the value of this resource to the community. | Project Status ONGOING 2009 |

BOSTON, Mass. – Sophomore forward Travis Daniel (North Brunswick, N.J.) and senior forward Jim Ennis (Roslindale, Mass.) each scored goals while senior Kevin Bendel (Denville, N.J.) turned aside 22 shots to record the shutout as the University of Massachusetts Boston ice hockey team defeated Wentworth, 2-0, in a non-conference contest at Matthews Arena.
UMass Boston held a 12-5 shot advantage through the opening 20 minutes with half of their shots coming on a pair of power play attempts. However, freshman netminder Alex Peck (Kirkland, Que.) made several key stops to keep the visitors off the scoreboard.
Wentworth controlled play early in the second period, taking the stanza's first four shots before the Beacons created scoring chances of their own. At the 17:29 mark, freshman defenseman John Houston (Pittsburgh, Pa.) took a shot from the right point which was tipped to the high right side by Daniel, breaking the scoreless stalemate. Also assisting on the goal was junior defenseman Rob Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) UMass Boston outshot Wentworth by a 10-7 margin in the second period.
The third period was a back and forth affair with both teams having chances to get on the board, but both Peck and Bendel made 10 saves apiece in the stanza. With 59 seconds remaining Peck was pulled for an extra attacker, however at the 19:46 mark Ennis rifled a shot from the red line into the open net to seal the game.
Peck made 31 saves in the loss as the Leopards were outshot by a 33-22 margin.
Winners of two straight UMass Boston (4-5-2) is idle until the Beacons host the 47th Annual Codfish Bowl and will play Southern New Hampshire on Jan. 6. Wentworth sees its three-game win streak come to an end, falling to 6-4-1. The Leopards host Bowdoin on Jan. 3.

Oops! Prank Party may sound like a belated April Fools' joke but, tragically, it most certainly is not. Because the Wii needs another minigame collection, Hudson answers the call this June with Oops!. This cornucopia of cheap to produce content consists of 100 "brain-teasing, puzzle-solving, reflex-testing" challenges.
Failure in the game results in your individually designed avatar putting on "embarrassing costumes" or submitting to "pranks." The "light-hearted and hilarious" costumes include a monkey suit and cardboard pants. How charming! We'd actually mock this game, but considering how phenomenal Just Dance sales are, the joke's on us.

Survival mode
Monday March 25th 2002, Author: James Boyd, Location: Transoceanic
Nick Moloney reports from on board:
As you know we have been getting pasted over the past few days....very difficult sea conditions to say the least. I cannot remember it being like this at any stage in the Whitbread Round the World Race. I am still having to type wth one hand as the other is to hold the screen open on the computer. anyone who knows my level of typing skill will have an idea how long this mail will have taken to write.
Our poor boat has been copping a hammering throughout this storm, the amount of water that has crossed our decks has been amazing. this whole scenario
developed very quickly and has been so consistently rough. we have been trying to preserve ourselves and our orange home but the seas have been unco-operative.
To hove too in such a course, in such a location was disappointing. We had very little option. We have become the meat in a system sandwich. The initial low that is creating the trouble and that passed us several days a ago has slowed and has given birth to another small but deep depression. while a high moving in from the south has compressed the isobars thus giving us constant strong winds. We have been working on trying to get south lately and in the past hour have begun to fell the effect of the high. We had been doing speeds not in excess of 12kts due to the take off and bone jarring landing, but are now in the high teens.
I keep saying to the lads that for every tough day at sea there are at least five glamours in return. Well right now we are ready to cash in. It's been very wet and last night began to get very, very cold. Our watch is doing 30 minute rotations at the helm for our four hours in the elements. we have managed to keep eating well but today Vlad and I managed to trash the pasta for lunch which hasn't done moral any good. never said I could cook.
The noise in the leeward hull at the communication centre right now is incredible. The pitch of the sea breaking over the hull is deafening. I keep getting throw out of arms reach of the computer.
Many birds are following us now....not sure if they are curious of waiting for us to perish so they can swoop in for a feed. We need the table to turn for us out here otherwise this is going to be a long and dangerous tour.
I was getting a bit down about our progress yesterday, laying about whilst we parked in 45kts and I received a mail from my sister and my niece. I haven't had time to reply due to the conditions but it really made my day and lifted my spirits. It's amazing how much a few words of encouragement and news from home can change your world. bearing onto oz...i feel like I've been away too long
We are all complaining about the conditions but it really is special to see such fury. whilst heaving too the sea was incredible. completely blown out and chaotic. Visions that you keep stored away in your memory forever.

Question: If your will designates your same-sex spouse as the sole beneficiary, will your relatives have a valid (and potentially successful) claim against your estate?
Estate planning can be a very stressful time for all married couples, especially when children and other relatives need to be considered. However, under normal circumstances, one need not be overly concerned with the validity of his will and the possibility of relatives bringing claims against a surviving spouse that has been designated as the sole beneficiary under that will. It is typically very difficult to challenge a will. Approximately 99% of wills are enforced without any issues. Courts interpret wills as the voice of the testator (the person who wrote the will). Since that person is deceased and no longer able to express his wishes, courts are extremely hesitant to alter the terms of the will.
As a general rule, a party must have an interest in order to challenge a will, and that interest must be substantial, direct, and immediate. It is very likely that a court would conclude that close relatives, like children, have a substantial, direct, and immediate interest in your will. Thus, your relatives would likely be able to bring a claim against your estate. However, such a claim is unlikely to prevail.
As an initial matter, Pennsylvania law expressly allows you to disinherit (deprive someone of inheritance) every individual other than your spouse. Furthermore, your relatives, or any other challenger, would have a very limited number of grounds for bringing a claim against your same-sex spouse. Most grounds address the procedural process for the creation of a will and are easily addressed by retaining an attorney to assist in your estate planning. The two substantive grounds are that the individual lacked the mental capacity necessary for creating a valid will and that the will was procured by fraud, forgery, or undue influence.
In order to challenge a will based on mental capacity, the challenger must prove that the testator did not understand the consequences of making the will at the time of the will's creation. Adults are presumed to have the necessary mental capacity required for the creation of a will, thus this argument is usually limited to the context of an individual diagnosed with dementia who revises their will towards the end of their life.
In order to challenge a will based on fraud, forgery or undue influence, the challenger essentially must prove that the will was not created by the deceased or that the deceased was forced via threats to create the will. No matter the situation, it would be wise to have several witnesses, including an attorney, present during the creation of your will. Most states require a typed hard copy of the will signed by the testator in the presence of at least two adult witnesses who are not named as heirs in the will.
It is advisable to consult with a Trusts & Estates attorney as part of your estate planning to ensure that no potential claimant could prevail against your same-sex spouse in challenging the will.
