About 40 years ago, they were told to cut their hair and find a real job. Today, this same massive segment of the American population, better known as baby boomers, is getting another ultimatum: stop spending so much money and work even longer at that real job.
Oh, and while you're at it, get a reverse mortgage — if you're lucky enough to still own a home — because someone's going to have to pay for your exorbitant, long-term health care.
This shape-up-because-you're-not-shipping-out-anytime-soon message was hammered home by Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, during a keynote address at the "OneVoice 2011: FSI Dealer-Broker Conference."
The economic and social ramifications of an aging population that's living longer (women on average 3.5 years longer than they did in 1990; men 1.5 years), retiring earlier, saving less and absorbing much higher healthcare costs is taking its toll not only on older people, but the overall economy and younger workers who will do most of the heavy lifting as the population ages.
Throw in the fiscal meltdowns that accompanied the housing market implosion, Sept. 11 and this latest Great Recession and it's easy to see why Munnell and other economists and retirement pundits are gnashing their teeth and pleading with boomers and policymakers to take some responsible, corrective measures before this situation becomes untenable.
"We have needs increasing, early retirement and rising health care," Munnell told attendees. "The whole system is contracting. Social security is producing less and people make too many mistakes and don't save on their own."
"And this," she added, "was before the financial crisis. The tonic, according to Munnell, is an old refrain that somehow still hasn't caught on with baby boomers, who should be older and wiser, much less the Gen X and Gen Y sets.
"People need to work longer," she said. "It reduces spending, extends 401(k) and other pension and defined contribution plans and gives people a much higher annuity from their Social Security insurance."
However, one of the problems with working longer, beyond most people's inherent distaste for the prospect, is that companies have historically been less likely to hire and invest in older employees because they don't know how long they'll be around to see any return on their investment.
It doesn't help that most companies of all sizes have — and some still continue to — cut their headcount across the board in the wake of the economic tsunami that gripped the country for the better part of the last four years.
"[Boomers] flooded back into the labor market between 2007 and 2009," Munnell said. When this happened, there was a dramatic increase in the unemployment rate for workers 55 years and older. The confluence of the economy depleting retirement benefits and forcing more of these people into the workforce resulted in even higher unemployment rates for younger workers."
And while boomers may have been aghast at how quickly the value of all their stocks, mutual funds and other assets — particularly their homes — retreated, they actually have it much better today and into the future than younger folks.
"Boomers actually look better than other groups because they enjoyed high market returns for years, even though they've also endured some big corrections," she said.
Munnell said the average 401(k) investor who was 30 years old in 1979 has enjoyed a 9.9% run-up despite the dot-com and housing bubbles. A 30 year-old who invested in a 401(k) in 1989 has only realized a 6.6% gain and the poor youngster who started contributing in 1999 at 30 has only seen a 2.8% improvement.
In other words, much of this doom and gloom and uncertainty falls in the lap of the now suddenly motivated boomers themselves.
And scared they are. According to a survey of 1,300 baby boomers commissioned by the Center for Retirement Research shortly after the stock market plummeted 49% between October 2007 and March 2009, 26% of respondents said the ensuing fiscal distress was "as bad" or "worse" than the emotional tumult they experienced immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks.
Meanwhile, in this same general timeframe, housing prices tumbled 31%, unemployment surged to between 9% and 10% and, perhaps most damaging of all, boomers were given the option to begin tapping Social Security benefits at age 62 — locking them into a significantly lower fixed income for the rest of their lives.
"The only good thing about this was that at least there was some place for these people to get some income," Munnell said.
As if this all weren't depressing enough, Munnell and the Center for Retirement Research established something called the National Retirement Risk Index, a device she described as a mechanism to quantify the retirement-readiness of baby boomers that factored in the projected — and optimistic — value of income, assets and other investments accumulated over 30 years versus the expected costs of an extended and more costly retirement.
Munnell said the calculations determined that the overall risk that people of all ages would not be prepared for a comfortable retirement rose from 44% to 51% and among baby boomers alone jumped 4%.
Besides working longer and saving more, Munnell said policymakers, investment advisors and boomers themselves need to make more use of the retirement assets they have.
Most notably, she advocates reverse mortgages and annuities that she concedes "most people hate" and, in the case of reverse mortgages, the numbers (only 2% of eligible homeowners opt for one) confirm this emotional if impractical attachment to their homes.
Finally, Munnell said companies and the government need to make enrollment in available 401k programs automatic — only 56% of large programs do now — and encourage or create yet another retirement savings tier beyond social security, pensions, IRAs and personal savings to make retirement feasible for everyone.
"But there really is no free lunch," she said. "It's going to cost and it's something that needs to happen sooner than later.

An overwhelming majority of people in the United Kingdom haven't taken the time to sit down and create a Will. According to research from Investec Wealth & Investment, nearly two-thirds of people in the UK don't have a Will and of those that have, almost one-third are out of date.
"It's a cliché but I never cease to be amazed by how many people don't get around to doing a Will – even people with quite complex lives and sophisticated assets drag their heels about this," says Julian Washington, head of intermediary relationship management for RBC Wealth Management International.
"The crux of it is the death rate is still 100 percent."
Although many people would rather not think about death, dying intestate – that is, without a Will – could leave your loved ones in difficulty.
"Sooner or later our affairs, our property and everything we own is going to have to be dealt with [when we are no longer around]," says Washington. "And that will happen in one of two ways: either you make a Will and plan who inherits in an orderly way or you don't and the law will decide for you."
The benefits of drafting a Will
"The obvious and most important reason to draft a Will is to have control over who inherits your property," says Washington.
If you don't make a Will at all, the inheritance issue -- as well as the separate question of who will be responsible for winding up your affairs -- is dealt with by the blunt instrument of the law, he adds.
According to intestacy rules in the UK, if you're married and don't have children, all assets will go to your surviving spouse upon your death if a written Will is not in existence.
"If you're married, and there are children, the complexity starts immediately because your surviving spouse gets only a fixed amount outright, which is a fairly limited sum of £250,000," says Washington. "If you compare that to real estate prices in the UK, in London in particular, that £250,000 allowance may not even cover the home that you live in."
Beyond that, the widow or widower is entitled to half of everything and the children inherit the other half.
"The tax system here, and in many other countries, recognizes marriage and it gives all sorts of tax exemptions," says Washington. While the amount given to a spouse will generally not be taxable, the amount given to your children is taxable. With a Will, you can direct all your assets to the surviving spouse in a more tax-advantaged way.
Connect with a relationship managerDon't have an RBC relationship manager and wish to find one? Let us match you with one.
But the benefits aren't just limited to taxes, says Roberta Ruddy, director of RBC Wealth Management's International Wealth Solutions in New York, noting many of the same benefits apply regardless of which side of the Atlantic a client is on.
She says it helps when making a Will to look past the fact that it can be an unpleasant thing and focus on the opportunity that comes with taking some time to review your assets.
"It [gives you] a handle on the assets that you have, how they're currently titled, how you want to leave your legacy, how you want to deal with issues around transferring wealth to children and to charities," says Ruddy.
Guarding your children
In the event that both partners die simultaneously, a Will can offer guidance on who should take over guardianship of the children if they are still minors.
"That's a really important thing and something people struggle with because it's not an easy decision," says Washington. "People don't like thinking about it but it's much better to have thought about it and planned for it rather than leave that as a major loose end."
Of course Wills can also determine the children's inheritances.
"Children become adults legally at age 18 in the UK. Are you happy for your kids to be inheriting large amounts of money as young as 18 or would you rather delay it until they're more mature?" asks Washington.
"Some wealthy families with complex assets would be concerned that 18 is too young, so again, if you're making a Will you have the option to plan and decide what the correct age is and set up a trust to manage that sort of inheritance and take account of the tax consequences of the different options."
Building a trust
The most straightforward Wills include simple gifts which take effect on the person's death. It's also possible to create on-going trusts by will, which can be used to manage longer-term gifts.
Your trustees can be entrusted with the funds until the children reach a certain age, Washington says. The trustee will also have powers to make payments along the way. For example, if the children need a capital sum to help with university fees or to buy their first home.
Flexibility is key here. It is important to choose the trustees wisely and ensure they have sufficient powers to respond to changing circumstances as the children grow up – rather than being too prescriptive because no one can predict the future.
Of course, trusts aren't just limited to individual inheritances; they can also be used to carry on longer-term philanthropic goals.
"Some people want to set aside parts of their inheritance for their favourite causes – [This can be] a simple immediate cash gift to a charity, or a range of charities," Washington says.
In some cases, for bigger and wealthier families, it can involve the endowing of a new charity or foundation to carry on the family name and its philanthropic work.
"Some of the great philanthropists throughout history have done that," Washington adds.
Funeral instructions
It's also worth noting Wills can be used to record any specific requests for your funeral.
"Many people will have specific religious requirements for their funeral, different religious traditions, different rituals and timing," Washington says. "My advice is always record these in the Will, but also to let your nearest and dearest know about those requests as well."
Washington notes sometimes those wishes can get overlooked in the immediate emotional upheaval of a bereavement and so it's wise not to rely on the Will alone as the sole record of these instructions.
Peace of mind
The peace of mind that comes with drafting a Will shouldn't be overlooked as well.
"People don't like thinking about all the negative aspects of Wills because, obviously, it's an intrinsically macabre subject," says Washington. "But you can do some good by supporting your favourite charities and make sure your family is well provided for and your affairs are looked after."
Having a Will can often be an important component of a complete and comprehensive estate plan, says Ruddy. While other planning techniques and structures are often used, a written will may ensure any inadvertent planning gaps will be addressed.
"I think it's a good base, catch-all to the extent that if you don't have it covered elsewhere, you can always fall back to the Will to pick up anything that hasn't been addressed in other planning documents," says Ruddy.
But while enjoying the peace of mind, don't forget to review your Will every few years after significant life events.
The law intervenes to change an individual's Will in certain circumstances, says Washington, pointing out a will is automatically revoked when you get married.
"If you're married, you've made a Will but then gotten divorced, it's not an automatic revocation," he says.
In that case the Will is interpreted as if your former spouse had been removed from the document.
"So peace of mind, yes, but this isn't a one-time task, you need to return to it from time to time."

It was a dark and stormy night.
Sponsored By
No, really, it was. I was soaked with rain on the short walk from my car to Lalime's on a Friday evening. It was the kind of ugly Bay Area weekend that makes one want to cuddle up in a comfy house with someone special and forget about the outside world. Lucky for me, that's just the kind of experience Lalime's delivers without fail every time I visit.
Upon arrival, my lucky dining companion and I were immediately ushered to our table by the gracious hostess. The restaurant was full and vibrant, but not so loud that it detracted from the feeling of intimacy and casual comfort. Our server greeted us soon after we were seated, and for the rest of the evening we were wrapped in the warm embrace of the magical dining experience that is Lalime's.
The best restaurants in the world are those that can, with seeming effortlessness, deliver an experience that transforms every guest's outlook on the world through the simple act of feeding them. With a sublime combination of memorably impeccable service and dishes that delight not just the taste buds, but also the soul, Lalime's possesses that intangible sorcery that can turn a cold and wet evening into a warm and wonderful night.
On this particular evening, every course was brilliant and unusual, but seemed somehow as familiar as an old friend. We began with two seafood appetizers. The Dungeness crab salad combined deliciously crunchy lettuces with a peppery bite and perfect buttery bits of sweet crab. The textures meshed well together with bits of avocado-topped toast. We also shared the carpaccio of yellowfin tuna, which was such a thrill! While tuna carpaccio is perhaps one of the most overdone dishes in American restaurants these days, I've never had one that tasted quite like this. The secret to this dish is truly in the sauce, an arugula vinaigrette drizzled ever so lightly atop the fish, which is then sprinkled with edamame. The chef's delicate touch could have easily been overwrought; too much dressing or too many edamame, and the meaty satisfaction of the fish could have been drowned out. As it was presented, however, these ingredients perfectly complemented each other and added to the sense of freshness that one demands in a seafood carpaccio. It was a great way to start the meal.
Our main courses took us deeper into the bliss that great dining can be. Grilled Eel River grass-fed NY steak with mashed potatoes and red wine jus was earthy and solid, true comfort food; but the roast rack of lamb with Meyer lemon confit, couscous, and pine nuts was out of this world! Every bit of flavor was exciting to taste, either on its own or as a "combo bite" with all the other ingredients. The lamb was succulent and tender, and the citrus flavors sang together like a choir of angels. It deserves a standing ovation. That is exactly the type of dish one should come to Lalime's to experience. With an ever-changing menu, I can't promise it will be available the following week, but I can guarantee you that something deeply satisfying will take its place.
A word now about the wine list: I think Lalime's wine list is great. It's not overpriced, nor so long as to be daunting. One can certainly find a wine that perfectly complements the food and not feel frightened by the price tag. Most wines seem to fall in the $30-50 range. We shared a bottle of Brown Estate Zinfandel ($63), which brought out the fruity flavors in the lamb quite nicely. Then, all too soon, the bottle was empty, and our plates were, too.
But we did find room for a bit of dessert. The Noisette was greatly satisfying for my chocaholic date, but I preferred the Angel's Pillows. It was like four lightly sweet cheese ravioli, topped with a richly satisfying blueberry sauce. It was served just slightly warm and was a soothing and fresh way to end the meal, especially when washed down with a bit of Taylor Fladgate port.
I don't think it's too much to say that Lalime's is a magical place because, like a great magician, the chef and staff at Lalime's and even its unsuspecting street front locale have mastered the art of surprise in a way that delights and amazes the senses. Every dish seems sprinkled with a bit of mood-enhancing mystery. And I swear, they may be cooking up something even more powerful in the kitchen than the food… they might control the weather, too. Because as we left the restaurant, the last drops of rain ceased falling from the sky, and I felt warm, dry, and cozy all night long. I'm not entirely sure the magicians in the kitchen didn't have something to do with that, either.

We arrived in Berkeley/Albany around 6:45, and the streets were quiet. Lalime's is situated in a nice neighborhood with little shops and cottage homes. A large picture window-front framed the restaurant from the sidewalk giving passers-by a glimpse of the linen-tablecloth life. It looked very inviting with orchids modeling on tables and snazzy waiters and bussers eager to assist, and fixtures straight from Restoration Hardware.
We made a reservation, but for that night, it was not necessary. Three were plenty of empty tables. The hostess was warm and inviting, and we were seated immediately. A half-loaf of fresh, crusty bread and butter found its way to our table.
We started with the carpaccio of yellowfin tuna. It was a delightful, rather large-slice of yellowfin with arugula vinaigrette, edemame, and sesame crisps. I found it to be very good and the lemon wedge that came on the plate took away any sense of fishiness. We saved some of the bread for the carpaccio, which was a solid move on our part. Sipping my beer, the restaurant evoked years to come. I think we were the youngest people in there and the air of sophistication was palpable. No regard for the Super Bowl, just a nice dinner. You got a good sense of the true foodies who come to enjoy Lalime's. Come dressed for a nice dinner and some good eavesdropping.
For our entrees, we have the seafood stew and the grilled yellowtail (do you sense a theme?) I thought the seafood stew once one of the best I've ever had! I had a wonderfully bold seafood broth displaced by large shrimp, mussels, and rockfish. The dish also came with a toasted piece of bread, which held up nicely in the broth. The other dish was the grilled yellowtail (seared medium-rare) over a bed of lentils and flanked by roasted fennel. Topping off the fish was a blood orange sauce and thinly sliced fennel. We both thought the fish was excellent and cooked perfectly. It was a good hunk of tuna and could easily be shared by two people. As a side dish, we shared the white beans with the dinosaur kale. I would have liked to see more kale and fewer beans. The beans were cooked nicely and the buttery beans went well with the fish.
For desert, we shared the apple chausson. This was an awesome dessert and the portion was monstrous! I noticed the person next to us ordered the same dessert, but it lacked size. It came on a large rectangular plate with a pastry turnover crowned with vanilla ice cream and surrounded by flambéed Fuji apples. I found the pastry to be a bit salty, but other than that, it was a great dessert.
All in all, I found the experience to be quite enjoyable. The food was good and one would expect that with the price. This is not a cheap place, but if you were going for an anniversary dinner or a parent's birthday, I would recommend this place. The price reflects the service, food and atmosphere. For the money, I would expect nothing else and Lalime's was solid on all accounts.

Lalime's is a welcoming, beautifully lit restaurant in a charming neighborhood in Berkeley. I wanted to fall in love with this restaurant, and as we walked in, I was instantly wishing it was in my neighborhood. Unfortunately, my food experience failed with each dish. I hate that feeling of going to a nice restaurant and walking out feeling I had made the wrong decisions on what I ordered, as if it were up to me to know what to order and what not to order. This, of course, makes you a little angry on your way home.
I invited my partner, Patricia, to a dinner at Lalime's on a Wednesday night. The hostess and our waitress were attentive and welcoming and yet we felt rushed. What was the reason for that? It was a Wednesday night at 7:00, it wasn't necessarily busy. As we ordered our first glass of wine, our waitress informed us that if we were ordering a cassoulet there was a 35-minute wait on that. Again, what was the hurry? I started out with the onion soup with Gruyère toast, and Patricia had a salad with blue cheese dressing. Her salad was fantastic. It was another cold night, and I wanted hot soup to warm me up. There was no broth in this soup. It was a piece of bread with cheese on it surrounded by pureed onions. My first thought was, "Is this how it's served in France?" I've never been there; maybe this is how it's done. The onions tasted very good, but I really wanted some soup.
Within minutes of our soup and salad dishes being removed from our table, our main dishes were served, mine being the duck cassoulet. The 35-minute dish arrived 20 minutes after ordering it from the waitress. Both Patricia and I were wondering why they served it so quickly, we would have loved a little break and possibly ordered more wine. Patricia's a vegetarian and was going to side dishes for her meal, but the waitress strongly recommended that she order the one veggie dinner item. Patricia did order the one item, crêpes with mushrooms. She loved it, instantly giving it the thumbs up. My cassoulet at the beginning was very good. There was a slight broth to it, which helped satisfy my broth craving, and the flavor was delicious along with the white beans. My surprise was biting into the duck and it was COLD! It was cold, and I couldn't believe it. I had to send it back. While we were waiting, Patricia ate her meal. I could tell she was trying to stretch it out, but I encouraged her to eat it while it was still warm. After about 12 minutes or so, my cassoulet came back and not only was the duck warm, but the cassoulet itself was dry; it was like mush. I was so disappointed and I believe that is when I gave up. I ate most of it because I was hungry and then after putting my fork down, I discovered that I was thirsty from all of the salt in the dish. So salty in fact that I wasn't interested in the beautiful looking desserts going by. I just wanted to drink a glass of water.
After returning home I reflected upon my experience at Lalime's. I thought about how there really wasn't any fun in going to this restaurant. Although it is a very nice looking place and people are very nice, there wasn't any character there. It is a neighborhood restaurant and yet I didn't feel anything very special about this place except nice lighting and fancy food. It was disturbingly quiet to the point where we could hear conversations right next to us. Maybe they need some music or a piano player? Something to give it some character, something special, because to me it wasn't in the food. Would I go back? Probably not. I choose restaurants carefully and look at them almost as an investment. An investment of my time and money. I would not invest my time or money into Lalime's. My advice to those of you who go is to be careful what you order.

BERKELEY, CA--(Marketwire - November 29, 2010) - Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported in the JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE (JEM) new data that suggests an important role of the key innate immune receptors TLR7 and TLR9 in cutaneous lupus and related skin conditions. In the issue of JEM (Volume 207, Number 13), which was published online today and will appear in print December 20, 2010, Dynavax scientists report development of a novel mouse model for evaluating skin conditions similar to cutaneous lupus. Using that model, Dynavax show that its inhibitor of TLR7 and TLR9 prevents and reverses disease in this model, suggesting therapeutic application of the inhibitor for the treatment of cutaneous lupus and related skin conditions.
"This work demonstrates the central role of two innate immune receptors, TLR7 and TLR9, in the inflammatory response to skin injury and shows how injury can lead to chronic disease in mice predisposed to develop lupus. It also significantly extends the list of diseases for which an inhibitor of TLR7 and TLR9 may provide benefit," commented Robert Coffman, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Dynavax.
The work was partly supported by a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) intended to advance Dynavax's oligonucleotide-based Toll-like Receptor (TLR) inhibitors for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases including cutaneous lupus and dermatomyositis.
About Dynavax's TLR Inhibitors
Dynavax's TLR inhibitors are a novel class of oligonucleotides, called immunoregulatory sequences (IRS), that specifically inhibit the TLR-induced inflammatory response associated with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Preclinical data from animal model studies show Dynavax's TLR inhibitors block induction of IFN-alpha and also reduce symptoms in animal models of multiple autoimmune diseases, such as lupus, inflammatory skin disorders, and rheumatoid arthritis. Dynavax is developing its TLR inhibitors under a worldwide strategic alliance with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), whereby GSK has an exclusive option to obtain a license to the program.
About Dynavax

Americans have a lot to learn about Chechnya
disturbing, but inevitable
Eric LaMont Gregory
26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev (right), 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar
I do not know if this is the first time that the decade's long war in Chechnya has spilled onto the streets of America, but it has now and in a bloodbath. The Russian public knows all too well the carnage that is the Chechen conflict, and the way that it spilled over into some quite dramatic and deadly incidents on their mass transit systems, schools, and concert halls; notably the October 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis. And now onto the streets of Boston, why?
The answer to that question will require the American people, our government and the larger international community to come to grips with and place in a more proper perspective Chechnya, Saudi Arabia, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And, for the American public specifically, given our past and current involvement in Afghanistan it raises many more questions than are answered.
The Bolsheviks after waging 100 years of terror against the Czars took power in 1917, and suppressed religious practice. The religion of what became the southern Soviet republics with some notable exceptions such as Armenia was Islam. Many of these republics had been a part of Turkey until the end of their 100 year long war with Russia, and the Ottoman Empire before that.
Two events that would later converge happened in 1957. Nikita Khrushchev denounced Stalin and that began the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The bear was now wounded and it is well known that a wounded animal is a dangerous animal. And, successive Soviet leaders proved that repeatedly. There had been a tactic agreement between the Soviets and the Americans that in the interest of world peace, that no one who had been in charge of their intelligence service should become head of state. When the Soviets made the near death and former head of the KGB Andropov premier for the last month of his life, the Americans took that as breaking the agreement and that opened the door for GHW Bush the former head of the CIA to seek the presidency of the United States.
Also in 1957 the first International Jihad Conference was held in Cairo. Qutb, the mentor of Bin Laden was there, as was Bin Laden's and still at large second in command of Al Qaeda. The conference was held as a means of discovering why the Arab world, more correctly the Islamic world was in disarray, down trodden, and lacking its former glory. The answer was that they had turned from the true source of their strength, Islam. And, most of the things that have happened towards reversing that trend over the past 56 years were born in that and subsequent international jihad conferences. Notably the series of international jihad meeting organized by Bin Laden and held in the Sudan between 1991 and 1996.
Rome was not built in a day, and Rome did not fall in a day. The jihadist movement took years to grow, and the Soviet Union took years to dissolve; but grow they did, and dissolve they did.
Saudi Arabia is governed by a strict interpretation of Islamic law, Wahhabism. Saudi Arabia was eager to spread its form of Islam and was willing to foment unrest in the southern Soviet republics to do so. During the 1970's largely financed by the Saudis a war was waged against Soviet religious suppression. Soviet officials were killed, and Soviet administrative buildings were bombed, especially those that had been located in former mosques. Towards the end of the decade the Soviet Union aware that the source of the Islamic radicalism and training of Islamic fighters was centered in Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan decided to put down the rebellion and go into Afghanistan to go after those responsible for the killings and bombings in their southern republics.
In the Pentagon Papers, McNamara is quoted as saying: if, the North Vietnamese are going to do for Vietnam what they say they are going to do, then we - the Americans - are fighting on the wrong side.
The question raised is this, how could the Saudis be so successful in their effort to fight the Soviet suppression of Islam, to an extent that the Soviets felt it necessary to carry out a massive cross international border policing action in Afghanistan to put down a rebellion in its own southern republics. And, this should be an object lesson for American foreign aid. The Saudis go into countries that are abjectly poor, and they house the people, feed them, clothe them, and educate them. But, that education was only in the strict Wahhabi interpretation of Islam whose message is that anyone who does not practice your religion is your devout enemy. And, so they raise an army to fight the infidel Soviets.
Dan Rather dons Mujahedeen attire and Charlie Wilson's folly begins to manifest. Bin Laden at this time is just the latest in a long line of Saudis who had been involved in the Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan incursions into the Soviet southern republics to wage jihad against their suppression of Islam. The Soviet policing action in Afghanistan is coined an invasion by the Americans, and we're off.
Unfortunately there was no McNamara on the scene to say; if, the Soviets are going to do in Afghanistan what they say they going to do, then we – the Americans – are fighting on the wrong side.
And, so two young southern republic Chechen brothers isolated from the promise of America, but steeped in a jihadist fervor to right the wrongs the infidels have occasioned upon them and their fellow believers, are not being told to stop playing video games and do their homework, or come in out of the garage and stop working on that piece of junk car, but they are assembling bombs.
And, while putting together these intricate but lethal devices they are listening to speeches by an Islamic teacher named Shaykh Feiz Mohammed, talking about the unfair treatment of Muslims in the North Caucasus and about terrorists and Islam. Such speeches always find a way to remind them of the brutality of the infidel Stalin, and to suggest that America stands behind all the evil in the world, and we need to be taught a lesson, and it is the duty of all true believers to join in that fight.
And, there are no young Americans coming to their door saying, hey we are going for a pizza why don't you and brother come with us. The problem does not lie in the stars.
The crimes associated with the Boston Marathon Massacre did not begin when the bombs went off maiming and killing those assembled to participate in or to watch the race. The attacks were planned; the pressure cooker explosive devices were assembled, brought to the scene, and then detonated. And, it is at that precise point when the conspiracy to commit murder became an act of murder.
Although the death of one of the suspects and the arrest of the other are welcomed events, it should be remembered that this investigation is very much in its early days.
As each aspect of the case is unraveled there will be more revelations and more arrests, some will be expected, while others will simply be shocking. Because from the planning stage of this crime to the detonation of the explosive devices is a long trail involving many people, some knowing others unwittingly involved.

The Library and Archives might be closed today, but we thought we'd take a moment to create a special Christmas week post for all of our patrons who celebrate this holiday. We hope that everyone is having a good time with friends and family this holiday season as well as eating a ton of yummy goodies before the New Year and its inevitable weight-loss resolutions arrive.
The photo we're sharing today is from our Photo Files. The notes on this photo say that this is a photo of the winning house from Jaycees' first Annual Christmas Home Decoration Contest. This is the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Glen Cooper, located 1215 East Indio Street. This photo was taken on Christmas Eve as the homeowners were receiving their prize. The people pictured are (from left to right): Hurlstone Fairchild and Esther Henderson, both judges. Then Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Edith Cooper, the homeowners. Then Mrs. Lilly Merritt Starkweather and Professor Pete Anderson, both judges.
This photo made us think of the Christmas decoration traditions we each have in our homes. Erin's grandmother hides a pickle ornament in the Christmas tree and gives an extra present to the person who finds it first on Christmas Day. Her mother also puts a rubber octopus on the tree, a remnant from the days when it was the only thing keep the kids from touching and breaking all the ornaments. Caitlin's most notable decoration tradition is the constant battle in their house between colored lights or white lights on the Christmas tree.
Does your family have any decoration traditions? Or just family-specific traditions in general? Archivists know it's never too early to start documenting things. Grab some paper, pencils and crayons and have your kids write out their favorite family traditions–with illustrations, of course! Then use a hole-punch and yarn to "bind" them together into a fun little book. You can add to it every year and keep it on the coffee table during Christmas as your own holiday family history.

Laura McKenna flags a piece in the NYT on rising inequality in college faculty pay and adds her own two cents (see also here). As she says, for all the talk about Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) the real paradigm shift in academia today "is that a whole lot of house elves are doing the teaching work, and some day, they are going to get really pissed off". Replacing adjunct faculty with MOOCs just isn't going to save a large amount of money.
McKenna's Atlantic piece points out that given the production values of most online video lectures today, online education is more complementary than supplementary. The typical professor at a research university is not necessarily the greatest public speaker, and making an online lecture engaging is so far a fairly laborious task. We may eventually reach the point where self-starters can complete their entire freshman year of college online, and that would be genuinely useful, but we have a long, long way to go before we get there.

(KTVI)-Throughout the year You Paid For It investigator Elliott Davis has shined a light on the high pay of area school superintendents. At a time school districts are forced to slash millions from the budget, superintendents in districts across the St. Louis region are getting hefty pay hikes. Many are making well over $200,000 a year. From the Rockwood school district to Parkway to Riverview Gardens, residents are asking questions and so is the Your Paid For It Team.
In the Metro East, nowhere has the issue of high paid administrators gotten more attention than in the failed East St. Louis school district. The last superintendent was sent packing, but not without some taxpayers funded goodies.

The second part of chemistry is often neglected during photography sessions, but is vital to the images I am trying to capture. I want my images to speak of emotions. I want you to look back 10 years from now and be able to rekindle that significant moment by looking at an image I took. Chemistry between the couple makes or breaks these types of images I am tying to capture. So what am I going to ask of you during our photography session? To genuinely LOVE on each other. To genuinely LAUGH with each other. To genuinely get lost in the moment with each other and be playful. For instance, look at the second image down. I asked Stephanie to look up at Mason, which could easily be done with a blank stare. But I don't think she is just "looking" at Mason, but rather "gazing" at him. The definition of gaze is a good one: "to look long and intently. Gaze is often indicative of wonder, fascination, awe, or admiration" I don't know about you, but I feel her eyes show you how much she adores him.
I loved this shoot. Not because I magically did something with a camera, or had the most epic location ever, but because Stephanie and Mason walked away from the shoot truly loving each other more. And as a result, their pictures had that special ingredient that sets them apart.

Home loans - Interest rate news
Changes to our variable interest rates
Effective Friday, 30 June 2017, Bank of Melbourne will be adjusting the following variable home loan rates:
- Owner Occupier^ Principal & Interest Home Loan variable rate decreasing by 0.05%p.a. to 5.20%p.a. (comparison rate 5.37%p.a.*)
- Owner Occupier^ Interest Only Home Loan variable rate increasing by 0.34%p.a. to 5.79%p.a. (comparison rate 5.95%p.a.*)
- Residential Investment Interest Only Home Loan variable rate increasing by 0.34%p.a. to 6.32%p.a. (comparison rate 6.48%p.a.*)
- Portfolio loan variable rate increasing by 0.34%p.a. to 6.44%p.a.
At Bank of Melbourne, we are passionate about helping more Australians into their homes. We hope the rate reduction will encourage owner occupier customers with interest only home loans to switch to principal and interest repayments, helping them to pay down their home loan in this low interest rate environment.
APRA's limit on new interest only lending is 30% of new residential mortgage lending. We continue to adjust our interest only rates and lending policies to assist us in meeting this benchmark.
Switching from interest only to principal and interest repayments
We offer lower interest rates to customers who make principal and interest repayments to encourage them to pay down their debt and own their home faster.
If you wish to pay your home loan sooner by switching to principal and interest repayments, you can do so without paying a switch fee by contacting us on 13 22 66 and we'll talk through your options.
Impact on my repayments?
Variable Interest Rate Home Loans
If you are currently paying interest only repayments on your home loan
Your repayments are adjusted automatically. The repayments will change from the first repayment date after the interest rate change becomes effective.
If you are currently paying principal and interest repayments on your home loan
The contractual repayments will be adjusted and letters will be sent to our customers. These will detail both the new minimum monthly repayment amount and the date the new repayment commences, ensuring there is time for our customers to adjust arrangements.
Fixed interest rates home loans
Repayments are not affected by variable interest rate changes during the fixed period of a home loan.
Credit criteria, fees and charges, terms & conditions apply. Based on Bank of Melbourne Bank credit criteria, residential lending is not available for Non-Australian resident borrowers.
^ Excludes investment loan applications where the principal property securing the loan will be used to derive rental income or where the loan application purpose is to invest in real estate or to construct or make improvements to an investment property.
*Comparison rates are based on a loan of $150,000 over a term of 25 years.
WARNING: This comparison rate is true only for the examples given and may not include all fees and charges. Different terms, fees or other loan amounts might result in a different comparison rate.

Re-imaging a SSD.
I have a Intel 320 120GB SSD that I just installed last Tuesday. Everything went well with loading a image on it from my spinning HDD. Offset is correct and thdrive is running well.
I got up the other morning to find that somehow Windows Auto Update had been turned on and the system had restarted after Win Update had downloaded & installed 18 updates without my permission.
So today I re-loaded that original image I had used on Tuesday to get rid of the 18 updates (Whether I do them in the further is up to me not MS).
This started me thinking about loading a image on a SSD drive.
1) Should I first run the Clean All command to wipe the drive before loading a image on it?
2) What effect does re-imaging a SSD have on the data, partitions and files that are already on the drive?
The program I use is Acronis TI 2011 that they say has full SSD support. But what does that really mean. During the re-image TI deletes all partitions and then recreates them as to what is contained in the image, even if they are the same.
Reading some reports about SSDs deleting partitions & formatting the speed of the SSD was reduced by just deleting a partition and then recreating it and wasn't reduced by just formatting it. In fact formatting it seemed to improve the performance.
So now I'm wondering Should I go back and format or run the Clean All command and then re-image the drive with that original image.
Or am I just being totally Anal Retentive.
Thanks for any comment. And I do mean any.

I say leave it alone, when TI puts the image back on the drive it will format it correctly.
I personally use the steps given here when I want to clean my Intel SSDs prior to re-imageing my drives. The info came from the OCZ forum but is applicable to any SSD.

On 1 January 2013, the United States could be looking down the fiscal cliff of about US$600 billion of tax increases and spending cuts. That is, if the Congress fails to reach any compromise.
The fiscal tightening will happen should the congress not extend the Bush tax cuts and the payroll tax cuts (i.e. let them expire). On top of that, as part of the deal for last year's increase of the debt ceiling, a super committee was formed and was asked to come up with some US$1.2 trillion over the next ten years.
And as the super committee failed to do so, an automatic spending cuts will kick in on 1 January 2013 as part of the deal to raise the debt ceiling (known as sequester). Not to mention that the debt ceiling will likely be met again early next year. With the coming election and all the usual gridlock in the congress, political uncertainty is arguably quite high.
The table below by Goldman Sachs illustrates the timeline of the important dates of key political events which could have potential impact of fiscal policy.
We know that the US government has been tightening fiscal policy (sort of) in a sense that deficit reduction in the past year has been the highest in dollar term. As a result, for many quarters now, the government is making negative contribution to GDP growth.
Should the Congress fail to come up with any compromise and let all these tax cuts expire and spending cuts kick in (which is, certainly, not the most likely scenario at the moment), Goldman Sachs expects that the negative impact would be roughly 4% of GDP.
Given the current trend of some 2.0% growth or so, that magnitude of fiscal drag will easily put the US economy into recession. The chart below from Alec Phillips of Goldman Sachs shows the effect of fiscal policy on GDP growth. As you can see, should everything expire on 1 January 2013, the drag on GDP will be close to 4%, enough to put the economy into recession.

Coudal Partners is currently running an interesting project called the Swap Meat. To participate, you send them something that you made or something that you're either selling or giving away, and they'll send you back "some stuff of approximately equal value", consisting of either "stuff we received from someone else or some of our own stuff, or some combination of the two". I'd send them a T-Bone, but I feel the joke would get lost in the execution. Oh well.

Saturday was a beautiful day to take the diamond, and a few hundred fans of the new Worcester Bravehearts baseball team did just that.
The Bravehearts welcomed fans on Saturday to the Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field located at the College of the Holy Cross, where the new team will play its home games. The event featured an egg hunt, along with a bounce house, slide and face painting. Fans also had a chance to explore the stadium and munch on the traditional ball park delicacy: hot dogs.
The Bravehearts, a team in the amateur Futures Collegiate Baseball League, will open their inaugural season later this summer. The first home game is on June 5.
The Bravehearts, named after a fan contest, fill a baseball void left when the Worcester Tornadoes folded in 2012.
