Credit Reporting
Your credit report affects your ability to get a loan as well as the interest rate you will be required to pay. Congress has passed credit reporting legislation to give you access to your credit information and to protect you from unfair, fraudulent, or deceptive credit practices. These laws make it possible for you to
Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) provides you with better access to your credit information. Under FACTA, you are entitled to one free credit report every 12 months from each of the three credit bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian). Reviewing these reports enables you to correct any errors in your credit history and to protect your credit identity. Learn more about identity theft. Read Fighting Back against Identity Theft on the Federal Trade Commission Web site and OCC's Answers About Identity Theft.
To order your free credit reports,
Do not contact the three nationwide consumer reporting companies individually.
Fair Credit Reporting
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulates the consumer credit reporting industry. In general, FCRA requires that industry to report your consumer credit information in a fair, timely, and accurate manner. Banks and other lenders use this information to make lending decisions. If a lender denies credit or increases the cost of credit to you, it must give you the name and address of the consumer reporting agency from which it received your report. Under FCRA, you have the right to review that report and correct any errors that may be in it. Read Your Rights: Credit Reporting on the Federal Trade Commission Web site and see OCC's Answers About Credit Reports.

JPA defines an interface to persist normal Java objects (or POJO's in some peoples terminology) to a datastore. JPA is tightly coupled to RDBMS datastores and so is currently of no use when you require an alternative type of datastore (such as XML, OODBMS, etc). JPA is a standard approved in June 2006 as part of "EJB3" though can be used outside of the J2EE container. A later version (JPA2) was approved in December 2009. JPA defines the interface that an implementation has to implement. The whole point of having a standard interface is that users can, in principle, swap between implementations of JPA without changing their code.
JPA has the following principal areas.
This release of DataNucleus AccessPlatform requires JPA2. There is currently no official version however there is an Apache 2 licensed version from Geronimo that included with AccessPlatform
DataNucleus makes no use of the JPA2 TCK. This is because we have been prevented access to it by Oracle and the JCP, which is now nothing more than a charade. We do however use the JPA1 TCK to check compatibility of every release.

Firefox hack to display "accesskey" keyboard shortcuts
I'm a big fan of using accesskeys in Firefox as I just love keyboard shortcuts! One problem is that most websites don't advertise the fact that they have accesskeys and what those shortcuts are.
After a little searching I found this forum post from back in 2004 with a hack to Firefox's UserContent.css file. I changed it slightly to show a nice purple "[shortcut key]" when it finds a keyboard shortcut. This is what it looks like when viewing the Wikipedia site:
To install this hack create a file in your profile's chrome directory called 'userContent.css' and add the following:
/* Display [
textarea[accesskey]:after {
margin-left: 0.3em;
color: Plum;
content: "[" attr(accesskey) "]";
One other thing to remember is the accesskey enabler changed from Alt to Alt-Shift in Firefox2 (release notes):
Access key definitions provided by web pages can now be triggered using Alt+Shift+key on Windows, Ctrl+key on Mac OS X, and Ctrl+Shift+key on Unix.

Neutron Star Collision Creates Kilonova
Panel 1: A pair of neutron stars in a binary system spiral together. Orbital momentum is dissipated through the release of gravitational waves, which are tiny ripples in the fabric of space-time.
Panel 2: In the final milliseconds, the two objects merge and produce a gamma-ray burst lasting just a fraction of a second.
Panel 3: A small fraction of the mass of the merging neutron stars is flung out during the merger. This hot, highly radioactive material expands and its outer layer thins enough for infrared light to escape. At its peak brightness (within a week of the merger) the explosion is about a thousand times brighter than a classical nova and so is called a "kilonova."
Panel 4: A massive neutron star or black hole remains after the event with an expanding cloud of debris around it. In addition, a powerful "wind" of material flows outward.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The well wishes on Twitter from Clippers guard Chris Paul and Heat owner Micky Arison confirmed the rumblings. Heat star LeBron James and his longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson are engaged to be married.
James picked a heck of a way to celebrate the start of a new year, reportedly proposing to his high school sweetheart and the mother of his two sons at a party celebrating New Year's Eve and his 27th birthday, which was Friday. More from People.com:
At a New Year's Eve dinner and party at the Shelborne hotel in South Beach, the Miami Heat star, 27, proposed to his longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson. And he got their kids in on the action as well.
Right after popping the question, James picked up the couple's sons LeBron Jr., 7, and Bryce, 4, and swung them around on the floor. "It was so sweet to watch," a rep for Remy Martin V, who hosted the dinner, tells PEOPLE. "Everyone is extremely happy."
The party, hosted by Heat teammate Dwayne Wade and his girlfriend Gabrielle Union, was also a belated birthday celebration for James, who turned 27 the day before.
Heat star Chris Bosh and Queen Latifah were also on the guest list of 60 friends and family members.
No date has been announced, but we're guessing James gets more than a few questions about this news before and after the Heat's game against the Charlotte Bobcats today in Miami.
And congrats to LeBron and his bride to be. There will be a ring ceremony for him one way or another in the future.

Q. What forms do I need to complete?
A.You need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15,. You and your parents (if you are a dependent student) will need to provide information about your income, assets, household size and number in college. The FAFSA cannot be completed until after October 1. You may complete the FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov or on a hard copy. FAFSA forms are also available in your high school guidance office.
Q. Do I have to wait until I am accepted to King's before I apply for aid?
A.No, you may apply before you are accepted, but you will not receive a financial aid award letter until you are accepted. We encourage you to apply even if you are not accepted yet so that we may process your aid application as soon as possible upon your acceptance.
Q. What is the King's College deadline date for financial aid applications?
A.King's College has a preferred filing deadline of February 15. for incoming first-year students. We ask that you file early so that we can get the results of your FAFSA and notify you of your eligibility beginning in early December. All current students are asked to complete their applications by May 1.
Q. Does King's College offer academic scholarships and how do I apply for them?
A. Yes, King's College offers academic scholarships. You are automatically considered for scholarship when you have applied and been accepted for admission to King's. No additional applications are required.
Q. What is the King's College federal school code for the FAFSA?
Q. What are my chances of receiving financial aid and/or a scholarship at King's College?
A. Over 99% of the Fall 2017 freshman class received some type of assistance from King's College. 87% of those freshmen who applied and were eligible received need-based aid. The average King's College scholarship was $18,589 with awards ranging up to $27, 680--taking a significant amount of the financial obligation away from your family. Overall, over $22 million dollars of King's College funds assisted 94% of all full-time undergraduates in 2017-2018.
Q. How is financial need determined?
A. Financial need is determined by subtracting your EFC (Expected Family Contribution as determined by the FAFSA) from the total cost of education for the year. Since cost varies among colleges and universities, your need will also vary from one institution to another. Your EFC, however, may stay approximately the same at all colleges and universities. Therefore, it is likely that a student will receive more assistance at a higher cost private institution compared to a less expensive public college because the student's financial need will be higher at a private institution. The EFC is influenced by many factors, including parents' and student's income and assets, the household size, and the number enrolled in college. You may get an estimate of your EFC on the internet at: www.finaid.org/finaid/calculators/finaidestimate.phtml
Q. What financial aid is available at King's College?
A. There are many different programs available including the King's College scholarships and need-based grants, federal campus-based programs such as SEOG Grants and federal work-study, the federal Pell Grant and federal Stafford and PLUS Loans. Most King's College students receive a combination of merit-based scholarships, need-based grants, need-based loans and student employment. Go to scholarship and financial aid for a complete listing of aid programs at King's.
Q. Is there an income cut-off for financial aid?
A. No, there is no income cut-off for financial aid. While income is a factor when determining eligibility for need-based aid, there are other factors also taken into account, such as household size, number in college, and the age of the oldest parent. We strongly recommend that all students file for aid in order for their eligibility to be evaluated using all of the necessary information.
Q. When and how will I find out how much aid I can receive?
A. In early March, the Financial Aid Office will begin to send out award letters to students who have been accepted for admission and who has completed the FAFSA. We will notify you of your eligibility for all assistance including scholarships in a financial aid award letter. You will also receive a brochure explaining among other things, the aid programs, requirements for their continued receipt and cost. We will continue to mail award letters on an ongoing basis, as students are accepted and their financial aid files become complete.
Q. What if my family's financial situation changes after we've completed the applications?
A.Contact the Financial Aid Office and we'll tell you what you need to do in order to be evaluated based on the change in circumstances. You will most likely have to complete some additional forms. But as a result, you may be eligible for additional assistance.
Q. If my parents are divorced or separated, whose information is reported on the financial aid applications?
A. The custodial parent is the parent that must complete the FAFSA. If the custodial parent has remarried, then the stepparent's financial information must also be provided.
Q. Will I receive the same amount of financial aid each year?
A. King's College scholarships and grants will be renewed for each year that you are a full-time undergraduate as long as you continue to meet satisfactory academic progress requirements. Eligibility for federal and state aid will be reevaluated each year. You will be required to complete a Renewal FAFSA each year so that eligibility for federal and state aid can be determined. Eligibility may change as information on the FAFSA changes from one year to the next.
Q. What happens if I receive outside scholarships?
A. You must notify the Financial Aid Office of any outside scholarships you've been awarded. We need to know the source and amount of the scholarship and if it is a renewable or one-time only award. Outside scholarships will first be used to meet any unmet financial need. If the financial need has been met and the student is receiving federal and/or state aid, the outside award will first be used to reduce or replace federal loan or work-study eligibility. Outside awards will not reduce or replace any King's College merit-based scholarships.

You've probably heard both sides of this argument: throw hardware at performance problems, no no, improve the code. Jeff Atwood at Coding Horror comes down on the "more hardware" side in this post:
Coding Horror: Hardware is Cheap, Programmers are Expensive
Usually I agree with Jeff, but I don't agree with his thesis here. The commenters on this page present some good convincing counterarguments and examples that tuning or modifying algorithms can be very cost-effective.
But sometimes I do like to throw hardware at a performance problem. Wait, haven't I just contradicted myself?
It's all in the context and the human elements. Let's consider the possibilities:
- You're in charge, you make the decision. Obviously, you'll consider all the pros and cons and make the right choice. Sometimes the right choice for return on investment is to beef up the hardware, sometimes it's to tune the code, change the algorithm.
- Someone else is making the decision, and they're just like you, or they always listen to your good advice. Again, sometimes the choice will go one way, sometimes another, but probably the right path will present itself.
- Someone else is making the decision, and they always prefer one approach or the other. Sometimes they'll make the right choice, sometimes the wrong one. Plenty of examples of both in the article comments.
- Someone else is making the decision, and they are open to either approach, but they don't have enough information to make an informed decision. For example, they may not know the price/performance of available hardware, or may not know the code base or the team's coding skills well enough to estimate the potential for improvement vs. the time involved.
If all situations were equally likely, we could say don't worry, a majority of the time it'll turn out OK. In the real world, scenarios 3 and 4 occur more often than you might like. You'll need to have strong arguments for "more hardware" and "more tuning" at the ready at all times, not just have one dictum for all situations.
