After a yearlong civil war inside Central Park East I, a progressive elementary school in East Harlem, the school's embattled principal has stepped aside, New York City's Education Department said on Monday, handing a victory to parents who had accused her of seeking to dismantle the school's traditions.
The principal, Monika Garg, will retain her title and salary as a principal but will no longer have a school to run. The department said the change was effective immediately.
That was a sudden about-face from Friday, when the Education Department announced that it was giving Ms. Garg a new supervisor but said that she would remain the principal.
The conflict has consumed the school since last year, dividing the parents and the staff. What the groups are fighting over has at times been hard to discern amid the volleys of accusations and counteraccusations. The parents and teachers who opposed Ms. Garg said she was trying to squelch the school's progressive spirit by bringing it in line with department rules. They also accused her of instigating investigations against teachers who defied her.
Parents who supported Ms. Garg, on the other hand, said that the school, which was originally intended to provide a rich, arts-filled education to the children of East Harlem, had over the years become exclusionary and that its traditions had calcified. They said the investigations of teachers were justified and were not pursued out of animus.
For months, the city's schools chancellor, Carmen Fariña, had resisted calls to remove Ms. Garg. Things seemed to change in recent weeks, when a group of parents occupied the school overnight and then began following Mayor Bill de Blasio around the city. Even so, when the mayor was asked about the situation at an unrelated news conference on Thursday, he did not give any hint that he was pushing the chancellor one way or the other on the issue, saying that parents and teachers were divided and that the loudest group did not have "a monopoly on the truth."
Afterward, the Education Department had seemed to waver about what to do. On Friday came the announcement that a supervisor had been placed over Ms. Garg at the school. Then, on Monday, Ms. Garg did not return to the school. In a brief interview there in the early afternoon, her new supervisor, Dolores Esposito, said she could not say why Ms. Garg was not there or whether she would continue as principal.
"We can't answer that," she said as she hurried away from a reporter.
The Education Department did not immediately name an interim leader but said Ms. Esposito would continue to oversee the school.
Central Park East I was founded in 1974 by Deborah Meier, a leader in the small schools movement, who started several other schools and won a MacArthur fellowship, known as a "genius grant," in 1987.

I've used Ubuntu using WUBI for a couple of months and decided that this was not what I wanted and that Ubuntu should have its own partition. I have it set up like that now. My dilemma deals with what bootloader to use as the primary one.
As it is now, after my laptop's splash screen, Grub 2 shows up and one of the options is Windows. My concern is that some problem with either Ubuntu or Windows would make it so the respective bootloader won't work and the operating system that is perfectly fine won't be able to be accessed because of the failure of one of the bootloaders.
So, I was wondering if there is a general consensus as to which bootloader to have in charge. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: So one bootloader is not inherently more secure than the other? I have read that holding shift on boot makes Grub appear but would this be the case even if something happened to the Ubuntu install? Or do I not have much to worry about because Ubuntu is pretty stable, as long as I stay with the 6 month release cycle?

The reasons for refurbishment vary according to each project and type of construction but will invariably involve leakage or deterioration of the fabric, the need to visually upgrade older buildings' or health and safety issues for example with asbestos.
Older buildings are generally inefficient in terms of energy. Recent BSRIA research has shown the average air leakage rates to be more than double the current requirements and in the case of industrial buildings more than 3 times the permitted level leading to significant heat loss and excess energy use.
Insulated panels by the nature of their single piece construction are ideal for re-cladding walls and roofs and have been used extensively on refurbishment projects for over 30 years. Panels offer real practical benefits in terms of speed, minimum disruption, use of existing structure (most cases), improved external and internal environment, low maintenance and increased security.
PIR cored panels have the best insulation performance for lowest thickness and weight and can transform the energy efficiency of a building to current standards with immediate payback on investment.

Cops cast eyes on St. Paddy Day
London police are banking on social media and Mother Nature to help keep a lid on rowdy St. Patrick's Day behaviour Monday.
With an eye to avoiding a repeat of London's booze-fuelled riot on St. Patrick's Day 2012, that boomeranged around the world on the Internet, Police Chief Brad Duncan has for the past two weeks kept a close eye on Monday's weather forecast.
And he likes what he sees.
Environment Canada is calling for unseasonably low temperatures on St. Patrick's Day, with a daytime high of -4 C.
That's a big difference from two years ago when the mercury hit 22 C — the warmest St. Patrick's Day on record in London — and rioters in the Fanshawe College area attacked police, burned vehicles and gave the city an international black eye.
"You're less likely to stand out in frigid temperatures and that's going to be helpful," Duncan said Friday.
Still, police plan to have a beefed up presence on the streets — and online.
Duncan will tweet his movements throughout the day.
Last year police took to Twitter to announce when they broke up parties, seized kegs and handed out hefty tickets.
"We found it an effective way to let folks know where we were. And we know on a number of occasions when we dismantled some keg parties, we quite literally stopped others from going . . . so we'll be doing the same this year," Duncan said.
But police won't take the zero-tolerance approach adopted after the 2012 Fleming Dr. riots. Instead, revellers will be warned before being ticketed.
In the fall, Duncan announced police were backing away from the zero-tolerance ticketing strategy officers have used against rowdy students. The announcement was made shortly after The Free Press reported that police had gone door-to-door in student neighbourhoods during their annual fall crackdown on unruly behaviour, collecting personal information.
The move sparked an outcry from students, who called the tactic intrusive and heavy-handed.
Since then, police and students have worked closely to repair the relationship.
Leading up to St. Patrick's Day, police released a video featuring Pat Whelan, president of Western University Students' Council, and Fanshawe Student Union president Adam Gourlay.
"Respect yourself, respect your neighbours, respect the officers, and most importantly, respect the community," Gourlay says on the video.

Hello Teddy_Bear and anyone else…
I have used the DDWRT firmware for awhile, and it was pretty solid except the QOS wasn't working as efficient, so I switched over to TomatoUSB firmware which is also very solid and the QOS is simply admazing and so easy to configure. Now here is the problem I am facing, the Wireless Signal Quality appears to be very weak on the TomatoUSB firmware compared to DDWRT not sure why that is the case… the router is left in the same position and spot before and after the Firmware change.
Router: Asus RT-N16 with TomatoUSB v1.28
Antenna: Stock Antenna
On Tomato Firmware
Noise to Floor is -85 dBm
Wireless Adapaters:
1. Intel Wifi Link 1000 on laptop Wireless 802.11b/g/n with latest Drivers from Intel. (Mini PCI) -
- Placing Laptop next to Router Antenna - Signal Quality = 90
- 2-3 Feet away for testing - Signal Quality = 52-60
2. TPLINK Wireless N Mini PCI - TL-WN861N with Manufacturer driver (Atherios chipset)
- Main Floor Living Room (30 feet away)
- Signal Quality = 32
3. Rosewill Wireless N USB - Rosewil RNX-100N with Manufacturer driver (RaLink Chipset)
- 1 Room through 1 dry wall (10-20feet away)
- Signal Quality = 40
Here is the interesting thing… with all Hardware in the same spot/position….
I removed all 3 Antenna from the router and the result is a big drop in Signal Quality to me appears to be normal.
1. Intel Card - Signal Quality = 20
2. TPLink - Signal Quality = 0 - Can't connect
3. Rosewill - Signal Quality = 1
Now I plug in the Left Antenna ONLY (I am facing the Router LED Lights)
1. Intel Card - Signal Quality = 52-57
2. TPLink - Signal Quality = 30
3. Rosewill - Signal Quality = 38
So with 1 Left Antenna plugged in the Signal Quality made only dismal drop in quality…
Now I removed Left Antenna, Plug in only middle Antenna - Results is same as no Antenna.
Now I removed Middle Antenna, Plug in Right Antenna - Results is almost Same as No Antenna.
So Is it just my router or is anyone else experiencing the same Wireless Antenna Issue as me with the TomatoUSB v1.28 Firmware on the Asus RT-N16 Router?
All Advance Wireless configuration is left at default. The TX and RX Tranfer is left on Auto as default. I even tried Setting TX to A and RX to B and vice versa and made no difference with the above testing.
Is the TomotoUSB firmware only utilizing 1 Antenna for transfer/receive? Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiecing the same symptoms? I haven't tested this Antenna issue with DDWRT or Stock Firmware as I don't really want to revert back to do any testing unless I have to.
Please share your thoughts and testing if possible…

Within the framework of WOPs activities, two experts from the Office National de l'Eau et de l'Assainissement of Burkina Faso (Burkina Faso National Water and Sanitation Board) (ONEA) spent a week in Cotonou to train staff from SONEB (Société Nationale des Eaux du Bénin/Benin National Water Utility) on Non-Revenue Water related issues.
This activity, which is financed by the African Water Facility, aimed at making participants more operational regarding the methods of quantification of water losses, the sizing of meters and management of meter parks. From December 1st to 5th 2014, there was also a training and evaluation visit of the National Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC) of Uganda to Thika Water and Sewerage Company (THIWASCO) in Kenya. Two Ugandan experts went to train Kenyan agents on Cartography, Geographical Information System (SIG), Customer Management and Non-Revenue Water Management

Getting Sexy in the Kitchen, 1 Day at a Time
"Sexy isn't in your closet; sexy is in your kitchen," writes Candice Kumai in the introduction to her latest cookbook, Cook Yourself Sexy.
This sounds like it's going to be a steamy page turner — at least for a cookbook.
In all seriousness, though, the recipes in this book are all about cooking and eating good food. Take the Japanese and Southeast Asian-influenced Spicy Peanut Soba Noodles, for example: They're cool and refreshing, dressed with a rice-wine vinaigrette that incorporates just enough peanut butter to make the dish satisfyingly rich without going over the top in calories or fat. Or the Chili-Lime Shrimp Tacos, which ditch the greasy meats and fattening cheese found in most tacos and sub in waist-friendly shrimp and an apple-cabbage slaw bursting with flavor. And the Lime Chicken Soup is also flavorful and diet-friendly.
While some of the recipe titles are a bit on the cutesy side, with names like Marry Me Spaghetti and Meatballs, Skinny Jean Sliders, and Pho and Champagne in Bed, that doesn't take away from the fact that they're delicious — and don't taste anything like diet food.
But Kumai also plays naughty by featuring a few true indulgences here and there — Oxtail Ragù with Pappardelle is wonderfully rich and is a testament to Kumai's formal culinary training, but one can't help wondering how this is supposed to fit into a healthy eating regime. Rosemary-Garlic Fries with Agave-Shallot Ketchup also sound amazing — amazingly good and amazingly naughty at the same time, that is. And impossible to ignore is the entire dessert section in the back of the book.
The resolution lies in the seven-day sample diet plan in the beginning of the book based on the book's recipes. Pay careful attention and most people will notice that, at least during the weekdays, both portion sizes and dish choices are going to take some time to get used to — like a new pair of skinny jeans. Take Tuesday for example — the day begins with a cup of tea and just one sliced apple, with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Lunch is equally challenging, with just a beet-quinoa salad and a soda water to wash it all down, and by the time your stomach is rumbling at dinner, there's just a bowl of minestrone soup, a piece of whole-wheat pita, and herbal tea waiting for you. Tough love.
But the weekends are different.
Sunday, for instance, will feel like an all-day feast in comparison — Spelt Pancakes with Blueberry Jam for breakfast, Roasted Tomatoes with Barley for lunch, and at dinner, a roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes. Diet hard on the weekdays, indulge a little — very little — on the weekends. If you treat the recipes in this cookbook like those from any other cookbook and just eat as much as you want, of whatever you want all the time, then it probably won't work for you.
Hey, nobody said it was going to be easy.
After all, Kumai is "here to help you whip your fridge, mind, and a** into shape." If that's not motivation to get back into the kitchen and cook something right for a change, we don't know what is.
It's probably not something that will be on the menu at the local brunch joint, which is why we like it.
Kumai pays homage to her Japanese grandmother with this heartwarming recipe.
Vegetable Gyoza with Ponzu Sauce
Forget frozen — make your own at home instead.

Non-canon warning: This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of the Legend of Zelda series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline.
Sing is a character from the Legend of Zelda animated series. Hailing from a distant land, Sing comes to Hyrule after Ganon steals her pet unicorn.
In the episode "Sing for the Unicorn", Ganon uses a mysterious flying unicorn to kidnap King Harkinian from a tower of Hyrule Castle. Link and Princess Zelda give chase, but fall into a hole on the way to Ganon's hideout. Here they fight several Stalfos, but seem to be in over their head. Out of nowhere, however, a mysterious ninja appears and defeats the remaining Stalfos. With them gone, the ninja turns on Link, but Zelda grabs the figure while Link removed its mask, revealing a young woman. The woman does not speak Hylian, but Princess Zelda manages to decipher that her name is Sing, she is from a distant land and that she has come to Hyrule to rescue her stolen unicorn. Following this verbal exchange, the three continue onward and reach Ganon's hideout where King Harkinian is being held captive. After fighting off various Moblins and other enemies, the three find the unicorn and uncover the hidden chamber where Ganon plans to drop King Harkinian into the Endless Pit. Right when this happens, King Harkinian is dropped into the pit, but Sing steers her unicorn downward and catches King Harkinian, saving his life. With Ganon's plan foiled, Link, Princess Zelda and King Harkinian return to Hyrule Castle while Sing departs for her homeland.

Twenty-one comments
This tune is so daggy it's eye-wateringly beautiful.
I totally agree Dow. This is one you don't dare to play in sessions in case you get laughed at.
DId we not a discussion somewhere before re the dagginess of this tune? And nobody dared to submit it! 🙂
Down with dag!
Dow must have run out of tunes to submit and now he's down to his dag tunes. God help us.
Still - it's a great tune to dance to
That's what it's all about isn't it? - dancing I mean.
I wondered what happened to my pre-school piano tutorial books. Now I know.
Jack put your spectacles on, I didn't submit this. I can submit some dag though, if you like.
Oh… sorry Dag, uh… I mean Dow. You were just the first to comment I guess.
Yes well I think that as a punishment for your error you should have more dag inflicted upon you.
It's a common tune used for "Dashing White Sergeant" dance sets and can be all right in this context-if you can't think of anything better, of course. 🙂
Davy Davy Knick Knack - hornpipe
Its a fairly awful tune played flat BUT if you play it as a well-dotted Tyneside Hornpipe it works well. The Angels of the North play it with Speed the Plough for the Durham version of Speed the Plough and use a simple chanter open smallpipe throughout.

Angels of the North
A Classic!
It's a shame I couldn't comment on this dag tune just after it was submitted. I learned it in west Clare last winter. Well, I just played it along twice with a Northumbrian piano accordion player, and its melody has stuck to my ears since then. The box player was an amazingly great musician who could turn this ugly toad into a charming princess. That was pure magic.
Just found out that I have to learn this for a dance on Monday. Perhaps I can forget it on Tuesday…
Interesting little ditty.
i hate this tune but it holds a lot of good memories
= justification for having it in my tunebook
It could be worse - you could have it stuck to your ears permanently like Slainte 😀
Davy-Davy Knick-Knack
This tune is old. You can find it in Aird's Collection Vol.5 (1801) as "Major Crichton's Fancy", and I have come across it elsewhere (in a manuscript in Perth library) as "Major Duff's Favourite Quickstep". I also came across an old children's rhyme used for picking "het" (or "it") which was a bit like "one potato, two potato," etc, with the particpants holding out their closed fists. It was called "Neevie Neevie Nick Nack" - "neeve" being a Scots word for a fist - and I think it's likely that the title "Davie Davie Knick Knack" is a corruption of that.
I've added the two alternate names mentioned by Nigel Gatherer.
Davy-Davy Knick-Knack
Thanks, Mix. I have a vague memory of seeing another name for it, from an old English MS or book. Doubtless I'll come across it in one of my old notebooks one of these days!
I have just posted the tune with edited ABC format to make display better when converted to notation on this site. I have no suggestions for improving the melody.
My wife says this is the most annoying tune I play!
Is Isadore's Reel the same tune?
The first tune played on https://youtu.be/qno-ac4R7dU is the French Canadian tune Isadore's Reel - and it sounds to me like a version of Davy Davy Knick - somewhat improved.

Used by the United States tax payers, this is a depreciation model that considers all property acquired during a particular year as property acquired at the middle of the year. If the property was acquired in January, depreciation would be considered for only half of the year i.e. from July 1st and the rest is depreciated in the last year of useful life.
Consider a property worth $. 5, 00,000 which has a useful life of 5 years. It has no residual value and depreciates at 10% of the original amount per annum i.e. $. 1, 00,000 per year. The property was purchased in June 2015.
2015: $. 5, 000 depreciation on the property due to the half year convention
2016: $. 10, 000 depreciation on June 30, 2016
2017: $. 10, 000 depreciation on June 30, 2017
2018: $. 10, 000 depreciation on June 30, 2018
2019: $. 10, 000 depreciation on June 30, 2019
2020: $. 5, 000 depreciation on June 30, 2020
For the Revenue Department (in case of taxation), this would be an advantage because even if the property is purchased in the second half of the year, it would still be taxed with respect to the half year convention itself.
For the property owners (or tax payers), it would be an advantage because the exact date of purchase is not required as the depreciation (or tax cut) is done at the exact half of the year.
There is a different convention in case the property owners purchase much property in the last quarter of the year i.e. the last 3 months of a year. This is called the "Mid Quarter" convention.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Half Year Convention for Depreciation along with its overview.

Treatment protocols at Gulf Coast Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center rely upon the conveniently accessible deposits of stem cells found among fat cells in adipose tissue. The adipose tissue is extracted in a simple outpatient procedure, effectively a short round of mini-liposuction, which is much less disruptive and painful than the process of harvesting bone marrow cells. After the adipose tissue is extracted, it is carefully separated into its different components. The fatty portion is separated from the liquid portion, which is the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), and contains many different kinds of cells and active molecules, like growth factors and cytokines. A few of these elements are discussed below.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs): these are multipotent cells that derive from the middle layer of the embryo—the mesoderm—that consists of a loose mass of unspecialized cells, from which connective tissue, bone, cartilage, and the circulatory and lymphatic systems develop. They have the potential to differentiate and become a variety of different kinds of cells, depending on where they are and what is required of them. MSCs are found in every tissue of the body, but different tissues have different concentrations. Adipose tissue appears to have the highest concentration of stem cells in the body; which is understandable when one considers that fat is an excellent storage tissue for food energy, and stem cells provide an endless and ready supply of multipotent cells that can become fat cells for rapid storage.
Growth factors and cytokines: these are the main messengers used by the body, which can affect inflammation, immunity, and various other functions, including cell growth and regeneration and repair of tissue.
There are over 300 different kinds of molecules and a myriad of different types of cells in SVF, so the exact components and proportions of SVF may vary among people and from site to site in the same person. Generally, however, it is widely accepted that most elements of the SVF play a role in the regeneration of surrounding or even distant tissues. With the treatment protocols at Gulf Coast Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Center, we transfer this concentration of regenerative cells and messenger elements to another part of the patient's body where healing and regeneration is desirable. The efficacy of stem cell therapy in individual patients is still the focus of ongoing intense research to identify the potential beneficiaries of SVF treatments and why certain individuals benefit more than others. Meanwhile, our stem cell therapy protocols are based on the principle of bioavailability, which is more easily understood in wound infections. A few hundred bacteria settling in an open wound from dust may not cause wound infection, but a few million implanted during a bite would. The precipitous increased in bacterial numbers favors infection. Likewise, when a higher concentration of regenerative cells and healing molecules is made available at a site of damage or injury, the increased biological availability of these elements favors regeneration and repair. So the bodily systems that have been damaged by disease or trauma can then be given the opportunity to make use of the regenerative cells and beneficial healing substances present in SVF. Furthermore, stem cells have an inbuilt homing characteristic that attracts them to sites of inflammation, damage, and degeneration.
To learn more about our treatment protocols with stem cells and SVF, contact us for a consultation.

700-1500 terrorists. Located in Nangarhar and Kunar Provinces.
Was this a TTP or Taliban stronghold?
US officials say intelligence suggests Islamic State is based overwhelmingly in Nangarhar and neighboring Kunar province.
Estimates of its strength in Afghanistan vary. US officials have said they believe the movement has only 700 fighters but Afghan officials estimate it has about 1,500.
The Afghan Taliban, which is trying to overthrow the US-backed government in Kabul, are fiercely opposed to Islamic State and the two group have clashed as they seek to expand territory and influence.
Or breakaway Taliban?
In which case it another instance of choosing sides and helping the Taliban.

A family were today facing an agonising wait to discover whether a body found in a ditch is their missing son.
A post mortem carried out last night failed to provide conclusive evidence the body was that of Craig Foreman, 20, who went missing from his home in Denecrest, Medomsley, Consett, last year.
His parents Ann and Ian Foreman made an appeal in the Chronicle at Christmas for their son to get in touch after he vanished without trace on October 26.
Durham Police believe the badly decomposed body found by a walker on the outskirts of Shotley Bridge yesterday morning may be Craig's.
But a DNA test could take three days to provide conclusive proof.
In the meantime his parents and their other children Wayne, 21, and Ian, 14, face an agonising wait to see if their worst fears are confirmed.
Det Chief Insp Ron Vine of Derwentside CID said: "It is too early to draw conclusions and DNA analysis might be necessary to officially confirm the identity of the dead man.
"I cannot rule out at this stage the possibility that the body is that of Craig Foreman."
A post mortem was carried out by Home Office pathologist Dr James Sunter at the University Hospital of North Durham last night.
An exact cause of death has still to be established but police said today they were not treating the death as suspicious.
At the time of his disappearance Craig was suffering from depression and was receiving treatment at Shotley Bridge Hospital.
A walker spotted the body in dense undergrowth in a roadside ditch by the B6310 on the outskirts of Shotley Bridge, close to houses at Daisy Hill.
The night before his disappearance Craig had gone to bed as normal at around midnight.
When Ann woke up the following morning there was no sign of him in the house.
Ann, 37, said: "It was a Saturday night and Craig had been watching videos before going to bed.
"There didn't seem to be anything unusual. I got up at 4.40am and noticed his light was on. I looked in the bedroom and saw that he wasn't there. There were empty packets of paracetamol on the floor. He had obviously taken them with him."
Despite an extensive search there was not a single sighting of Craig following his disappearance.

In 1998, author Walter Kirn (Thumbsucker, Up in the Air) agreed to drive a crippled Gordon setter from Montana to New York and deliver the dog to Clark Rockefeller. Kirn's new memoir, Blood Will Out (Liveright, 272 pages) details his fifteen-year friendship with a man he long thought to be a Rockefeller, but turned out to be a wanted murderer.
After the delivery of the dog, Kirn and Rockefeller maintain a long-distance friendship, with Kirn making one additional visit to the East Coast in 2002. But when Clark kidnaps his own daughter in 2008, Kirn, along with the rest of the world, finds out that the man portraying himself as a Rockefeller was actually Christian Gerhartsreiter, a German immigrant wanted for the 1985 murder of John Sohus in San Marino, California. Wanting to know how he, along with everyone else, was duped by a simple con man, Kirn sits through Gerhartsreiter's 2013 trial. "The trial was my chance to right all of this. To call off a deal I shouldn't have agreed to."

The options for window replacement in your current home, or those put into brand new Kansas homes for sale, are so vast when you consider size, quantity, color, and shape. Added to those esthetic choices is the most important choice of "type." We think this site is one of the best sites on the web to compare your options. It will help you understand the types, but remember, the Char MacCallum Real Estate Team, Kansas realtors®, is always happy to point them out as we show you Kansas homes for sale.
We have some general tips to keep in mind. For a family with ball playing children, tempered glass prevents window shattering. Thermal pane windows are a great choice for energy efficiency, but keep in mind, if their seals get "broken" with age they might need to be replaced. Argon gas filled windows work very well to insulate your home which provides high energy efficiency as well. Low-E coatings reduce heat transfer for south facing rooms.
Also among the types listed above: single pane, double pane, thermo pane, triple pane windows, plain glass, leaded glass, and wired glass. Be sure to check out the site to get a head start on window knowledge as you search for Kansas homes for sale or as you decide what type of windows to put in the new home we helped you purchased.

We often receive questions about Social Security from our visitors. Here are some you may find interesting perhaps even helpful. To see the answer for a question, click on the blue Get answer link after that question. When you are finished reading the answer, click on that page's Return to Questions link, or use your browser's Back button, to return to this page.
Question 1. Can I find out online approximately what my Social Security benefits would be with early retirement? Get answer.
Question 2. Do I also apply for Medicare when I apply for Social Security retirement benefits? Get answer.
Question 3. I'm older than my spouse, but my eventual Social Security retirement benefit will be lower than my spouse's (I didn't work as long, and I didn't earn as much money). At this point, we are both still working. If I retire first, will our family's eventual combined Social Security income be lower than it would have been if we both retired at the same time? Get answer.
Question 4. How are Social Security benefits calculated? People keep telling me it's your top five years of income, but that seems incorrect to me. Get answer.
Question 5. My wife will have a very small amount of Social Security coming to her at age 62, about $200 a month. How can she increase that amount in the next few years? Is it true that the government takes your best 5 years and that is what your monthly Social Security retirement check is based on? If this is the case, if she were to show a yearly income of say $35,000 a year for the next few years, would this raise her benefits? At this time she is showing no income. Get answer.
Question 6. Is it true that a divorced couple could receive twice the Social Security income of a married couple? When we retire, will we each be able to collect our full Social Security benefit, or will it be reduced? Get answer.
Question 7. My husband and I were married for about 35 years and recently divorced after a 9 year seperation. He is 63 and will be retiring and collecting Social Security when he is 65. I would like to retire when I am 62. Now I do know that I can draw either his Social Security or mine depending on whose is higher. When I am 62 I will most likely draw on his because I am certain his will be more then mine since I was a stay at home wife for many years. My question is if I retire at 62, do I receive benefits based on me drawing at 62, or based on my ex drawing at 65 which could be a big differance? Get answer.
Question 8. Someone at work said that if your husband retires first, then the wife retires later, that the wife's Social Security benefits are reduced. Is this true? If so, how much? Does this mean that the yearly statement Social Security sends out estimating the wife's benefit would not be correct, but would be a lower amount? Get answer.
Question 9. If I worked and made enough to draw Social Security benefits on my own, but could draw more from my husband, do I have a choice? Get answer.

Driving Economically: How I Do It
With the price of gasoline fluctuating, taking two steps up and one step down, I have found myself making some tough decisions.
About a year and half ago, my wife and I bought a full sized pick-up truck. It was something that we needed here in the Appalachians, especially when it came to hauling hay and firewood around the property. But I also needed it for general transportation.
Back in the first part of 2010, gas prices were tolerable. But driving nearly 100 miles a day, almost every day was costing us close to $600 a month in fuel. I had to try to economize, but with driving a V-8, it was not easy. So we decided to park the truck and get something a little more economical.
I went to the local dealer and drove off the lot 2 hours later with a brand new Malibu. It gets more than twice the mileage of my truck and it is fun to drive. But I found that my tricks for improving the mileage worked better on this low profile 4 cylinder than it did on my big truck. I will try to share with you my method for adding at least 3-5 mpg to your tank.
First, it helps to understand how an internal combustion engine works. If you already know this stuff, forgive me. I am sure there are some readers out there that don't.
When the engine is running, it consumes fuel with every stroke. If you have a tachometer on your car, you can tell how fast your engine is running. Ideally, most engines run at about 1,500 to 1,750 RPM's at 60 MPH, and will idle at 500-750 RPM's. For every revolution of the engine, fuel intake valves are opening and closing. Each time they open (stroke), fuel is squirted in the cylinder to be burned. At higher revolutions, more fuel is being consumed, thus consuming less fuel at lower revolutions.
Back in the late 60's, President Nixon set a national speed limit of 55mph to lower fuel consumption. It worked for a while, but it was short lived. Driving slower does save fuel, but not as much as trying the economical shortcuts that I try to use each day.
Turn off the A/C. You can drive and still keep cool with the air conditioning turned off. What I do is to turn the A/C on when I first start driving, let it get good and cold, and then turn it off with the internal air recirculation vent open. This keeps on recirculating the car's interior air through the evaporator of the air conditioner unit which remains cold for quite a while after it is turned off.
Using the air conditioner puts an extra strain on the car's engine, causing it to burn more gas. Just doing this can net you 1-2 extra miles per gallon.
Drive in Neutral. I live in the mountains, and I have to go up and down a lot of hills to get to and from the nearest town (which is 18 miles away). Going into town I can coast in neutral nearly 65-70% of the distance. This adds another 3-4 miles per gallon to my mileage. Coasting in neutral brings your car's RPM's down to idle speed; it's as if you were stopped at a red light. If you coast in neutral whenever possible, you will be amazed at how much gas you will save. Try it on a downhill run on a freeway.
Keep your windows closed. Driving with your windows open is like dragging a parachute behind you. The open void creates too much drag on the car.
The usual stuff. Keeping your tires properly inflated and the car properly aligned will help a lot. Performing regular maintenance like oil changes and tune-ups all make a big difference in the performance of your car or truck.
I hope this helps. Try it for a tankful. I would be willing to bet that your miles per gallon will increase a lot.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by.

A stunning new report from the San Francisco Chronicle finds only a fraction of the city's public safety officers actually live in the city.
The Chronicle says according to the Department of Human Resources, a quarter of the city's police officers and a third of the firefighters call San Francisco home. The rest live in surrounding bay area cities, though some live as far as Stockton, Modesto and Lake Tahoe.
Critics say this could cause a problem if San Francisco were to have a major disaster, such as an earthquake. However, the firefighters union argues it can be beneficial to have some firefighters living outside the city limits because if there is a major quake, they are not "coping with their own personal losses."
San Francisco has a new law mandating residents of San Francisco be hired for city-funded construction projects, however that law does not extend to emergency responders. That's because a state Constitution article bars local governments from telling workers they have to live in town.

Story By: Tony Madrid

Palace and Reebok are joining forces to releases five new sneakers. The pack includes black and white versions of the classic Reebok silhouette. There are also new black, blue and white styles that feature a suede detail on the body of the shoe. Of course it wouldn't be a collaboration without the right amount of branding, which can be seen on the laces and tongue and heel of the shoes. The collaboration also comes with a funny promotion video staring actor Jonah Hill. He walks the London Palace store as he introduces the brand and the new sneaker.

Both political parties agree: Getting the women's vote is key in 2012 campaign
Story by Kayla Stauffer, NewsNetNebraska
When it comes to U.S. presidential elections, women have the majority vote.
They've outnumbered men at the polls for the past 48 years, according to the Center for American Women and Politics.
And in recent years, they've leaned Democratic. According to Nebraska-based Gallup polling company, the women's vote hasn't gone to a Republican candidate since George H.W. Bush won the election in 1988 – a statistic both President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney appear to be aware of.
Throughout their campaigns, both candidates have targeted women, though experts say their approaches have differed."The Republican Party knows there is a problem," said Elizabeth Theiss-Morse, a professor and chair of the Political Science Department at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. "And it has taken steps to try to decrease the gap in women's support for their party in this election."Those steps have included playing up the impact that the economic downturn has had on women, she said, and emphasizing Republicans' stance on social issues.
The Republican Strategy
August's Republican National Convention was used to do both of these things, Theiss-Morse said. By inviting women like Ann Romney to speak on the party's behalf, Theiss-Morse said Republicans tried to widen their appeal. They also tried to demonstrate their support for and by women. "But they [Republicans] have to face the facts," Theiss-Morse said. "Many women tend to be poorer, in charge of caring for their children and working at lower paying jobs. The Democrats simply have an easier task given their appeal to women over the years."
Which is why Theiss-Morse believes Obama will receive the women's vote in November. "The gender gap has been around for a while, and I don't see anything in Mitt Romney's campaign that will turn that around," she said.
Jordan McGrain, Executive Director of the Nebraska Republican Party, disagrees. He said with five and a half weeks left in the campaign, the election is a toss-up. "I think we have to assume the message is working," McGrain said. "Women are concerned with the prices of gas and groceries and they're seeing how that affects their families. Women are looking at their pocketbooks and responding to it."
While the Republican Party is strategizing ways to win over the women's vote, Madeline Clauff, a sophomore broadcasting major at UNL and Greek house chair for the GOP, said she doesn't think it will be enough to reverse the existing trend. "I think the Democrats are killing the Republicans in this," she said. "So many women are poor and are attracted to the financial safety net that the Democrats offer. Free things like birth control, childcare and food stamps appeal to them."
Clauff said she will vote for Romney in November, but believes the majority of women will not.
Mary Herres, chair of the Nebraska Women's Democratic Caucus, believes the Democratic Party has been more effective at getting the women's vote. "It always has been," Herres said, "and always will be."
The Democratic Strategy
The party's stance on reproductive rights and birth control are particularly appealing to women, Herres said, and are at the center of this year's Democratic campaign. "Everything having to do with us [women] has become an issue-based power trip," she said, "and women are responding."
Herres said she expects more women to vote Democratic than did four years ago.
In 2008, 55 percent of women voted for Obama and 43 percent voted for McCain, she said. Herres forecasts the gap to be even wider in November. "The issues weren't as blatant before," Herres explained. "We didn't have candidates coming out and saying that rape was acceptable or the uber-conservative Republican block trying to defund the Violence Against Women Act. Everything having to do with us [women] has become an issue-based power trip, and women are responding."
McGrain sees the situation differently. "They're saying the only thing women care about are abortions or access to free birth control," he said of the Democrats,"but the women I've encountered in my life want more than that. They want the economy to get better. They want food to be on the table."
Which is why McGrain believes the Republican Party's appeal to women is working. It differs from the Democrats' approach, he said, but it's showing women that the Republican Party is the best place for change.
With three presidential debates and one vice-presidential debate left in the campaign, political scientist Theiss-Morse said some Republicans are approaching the issue not as a 'Republican Party's problem with women' but as a 'Democratic Party's problem with men.'
The GOP's strategy is to put the problem back onto the Democratic Party, she said, which allows the Republicans to pose the question: Why aren't Democrats appealing to men?
While the women's vote is crucial, McGrain said, it also can't be the only thing candidates focus on throughout the election. "You can't just focus on one demographic," he said. "You talk about your vision for the country and focus on it state by state, vote by vote. Then you hope people respond to it."

...and breathe
Well, that wasn't so bad after all. Almost entirely uneventful, in fact. Which comes as a major relief.
The run-up to the Christmas hostilities had been punctuated with so many family rides in ambulances I was worried we were going to make a habit of it. After everyone's finally getting sorted out (or as good as) I was concerned that the sudden onset of proper Winter was going to give one, or more, of the walking wounded the opportunity to do themselves some more damage. Which is where Winter itself made the decisions for us.
The first casualty was a family Sunday dinner at a picturesque restaurant in the middle of nowhere, Lancashire. This was always going to be a tad ambitious as it's a bit of a hike out from our neck of the woods and we take a bit of organising but it's a lovely location and we're assured the food is good. I was a bit worried about the length of the trip out given some of the medical conditions involved. Then it snowed for certain. The (relatively) younger elements of the Pennine Fringe contingent were gung-ho and up for it. For once the elders of the tribe prevailed: in no uncertain terms "have a bit of sense" was the order of the day. Especially as one of those younger elements was only a couple of days out of hospital after cracking her head open in a fall. The trembly bottom lips were assuaged when the restaurant said they were snowed in and couldn't receieve trade. As a consolation, us Southlanders nipped over to the local carvery for what turned out to be quite a nice meal, nothing flash but tasty nonetheless. The state of the roads, and the drivers, even down our way confirmed the sensibility of not trying to go much further.
The week running up to Christmas was characterised by snow. Locally we've had it fairly light, just an inch or two. Up north just slightly, my sister had a scary drive from work in the deeper snow and had to leave her car at the bottom of the hill and walk home. It became very clear that the plan to have Christmas dinner up at her mother-in-law's on the edge of Winter Hill was going to be a no-no. (The original plan had been that my sister would be hosting the meal, but she lives above the garage and my mum's not so good on stairs at the moment. Her mother-in-law suggested the change of venue, with my sister still doing the cooking.) My parents had bought a turkey and the trimmings anyway for Sunday dinner (as my sister was planning on cooking a goose that the cat had caught) so that became Christmas dinner. My sister and her partner stayed put and ate the goose. And my sister's brother-in-law got his skis on and went to his mum's for Christmas.
Ironically, my brother's family travelled up to North Yorkshire to see my sister-in-law's folks without any incident on Christmas Day. On the way back on Boxing Day they had a dead easy ride of it right up to the top of their road where the car slid sideways into a badly-parked Mercedes and scratched both their paintworks slightly.
On the evening of Christmas Day it started pouring down. We'd already had a few days' worth of thaw-and-freeze. On Boxing Day morning the streets and pavements were a single sheet of dead smooth ice with a thin layer of water on top. Even my dad, who'll walk out to the market in a blizzard despite promising to stay at home and use up the stuff in the freezer (we had that conversation last week), took one step out said something rude and decided not to go out for a newspaper after all. Even with my best walking boots, steel grips and a stick it was a scary walk round for dinner. I had earlier rehearsed all my excuses for not going over and they were all a bit too thin to be acceptable.
So nothing went as planned; nearly all the presents are in the wrong place (or so the little boy that Santa Claus forgot imagines); Yuletide celebrations have been muted though still quietly jolly. But the key thing is that nobody got hurt, nobody took any unnecessary risks (pace my Boxing Day stroll) and everyone is in decent health.
Hope you and yours had a good, and safe Christmas. And ditto for New Year.

Doing the fat bloke's work for him
The preparations for Xmas are always a trial. For the most part my preparations consist of two or three weeks' worth of worrying about other people's preparations. I love giving people presents. I like watching people's faces as they open presents. If Xmas were just about giving people some presents, having a cup of tea and a chip butty I'd be quite OK about it.
But it never is, is it? There's always the pressure of creating some miracle of the culinary arts, which I have to admit straight up I could never manage myself. It's a nice meal to be offered, but please don't stress yourself out in the doing of it. Please. I'll be happy with very nearly anything you'd be likely to offer, honestly.
And I can't be doing with all that goodwill to all men crap. I've never been good at handling hypocrisy and it's a bit late in the year to expect it of me.
But I love the giving people presents bit. At this time of year I start fretting terribly that I've not got all the presents. I'm already convinced that I've missed somebody. Or somebodies. The Christmas Cupboard has been being fed throughout the year with whatever caught my eye, or was on sale, or just turned up on the doorstep. There should be enough but I'm not convinced. I'll have a last-minute panic over the next couple of days. Then, on Xmas Eve, I'll start doing the wrapping up and I'll wonder: where did all this stuff come from? Invariably there's more than enough for everyone with a little spare left to seed next year's Christmas Cupboard. And inevitably there'll need to be a bit of creative thinking along the way: who would be thrilled to receive a pair of nutcrackers in the shape of King Leopold I of Belgium? And yet... And yet...
I'll be hitting the shops tomorrow lunchtime.

Always a soft touch for a bit of elfin
It's not entirely EmmaK's fault.
Coincidentally, I'd gone for a meal with friends the other night and was surprised to see that one of them has grown her hair out a bit so that it's an elfin bob rather than the usual very attractive sandpaper. As the lady is not available for bothering I took the opportunity to do a full appraisal and very nice she looked, too. Even so far as to join her partner in paying her a few compliments, which is a 100% sure way of winding up middle-aged women when you're in a mischievous mood. So it's not entirely EmmaK's fault.
The truth of the matter is: show me a gamine with an elfin bob and I'll go all Wembley at the knees every time.
Life is full of trials and tribulations.

Film fun
If you're on the mailing list of The Cornerhouse you can get a copy of their monthly listings booklet, which has been generally pretty good. So of course it couldn't last, could it?
"Our new calendar below hs been created to accommodate flexibility in our film scheduling so we can respond to your demands and give you more opportunity to see popular films. This means for new releases it isn't possible to list times here."
That's right: in order to provide a better customer experience you have to guess when the films start.
I wonder if Orwell would laugh or cry at our clever modern world.

I really must stop walking through mirrors
On the bus into work this morning I actually, really heard somebody say, in a loud, clear voice:
"Hi! I'm just ringing to let you know I'm on the 'phone."

Also posted on the CX-3 forum but I'd like as much input as possible.
2019 CX-3 Touring with 18" wheels, planning on switching to the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail. I know I can put the 225/55R18 on - folks here have done it, and folks on the FB group have done it. That'd increase my overall tire diameter about 1.2"/4.5% - over the 3% generally considered "safe". Alternatively, I can go for new wheels and tires and get 215/65R16 - a modest 1/2" / 1.9% change. Would cost a little more, but the cheaper tires and ability to sell the old wheel/tire combo might offset that a bit. I'm leaning toward the 225, but the biggest factor stopping me is how the size difference might mess with the automatic trans shift points. That was easy enough to adjust on my Jeep, but not so much on the CX-3.
What do you guys think? Make my decision for me!
225/55R18 + Stock Wheels
-Don't need new wheels
-Ground clearance
-Will look bad ass with a lift (and oh yes, I will lift)
-Proven combo for mild trails
-Greater than 3% change (speedo/shifting)
-Less sidewall
-More expensive tire to replace eventually
215/65R16 + New Wheels
-Can sell stock wheels/tires to offset cost
-Look bigger/meaner due to big tire/small wheel
-Cheaper tire
-Closer to stock size
-More faux-flex once lifted (though I'm pretty sure that's a non-issue)
-Less ground clearance
-Have to buy new wheels, so...
-Will be more expensive regardless
-Limited on wheel selection due to offset and bolt pattern

Our office is always more than happy to answer any additional questions you have about our program and ways we can work together. If you have any additional questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Will my students be able to juggle time for service-learning on top of school, work, and other activities?
Though college life can be very busy for a student, many of our Service-Learners ARE able to fit the hours necessary to complete the program. By asking for a minimum of 20 hours per semester, we are giving them the opportunity to serve as little as 2 hours per week on average, giving them plenty of time to manage their time well. Some of the students that complete the required hours even continue to volunteer after the course is finished. In addition, our program has many partners with different needs and different shifts for our students, so there is a lot of flexibility.
should i make service-learning an option or a requirement to my course?
Both approaches can be beneficial to the student - as a requirement, students can be exposed to a potentially new experience and the hands-on learning and they can discuss as a group their experiences with this program; however, some of the students may not necessarily be attracted to community service work, or have the character for it. As an option, Service-Learning can empower the student, as (s)he may feel that (s)he has a voice in the type of learning (s)he prefers, whether it's the option to write a research paper, or replace this research paper for Service-Learning hours.
how do i grade my students on service-learning? their experiences will all be so different!
The purpose of Service-Learning is for students to utilize that which they learn through their courses and connect it to the community issue they are facing at their service site; they are learning what is taught in your course by doing service in the community. One tool that helps professors in grading Service-Learning is assigning a specific amount of journals for the Service-Learning students to write every semester, and grade such according to the quantity that was turned in at the end. The final reflection essay, which students write at the end of the semester as requirement to comply to our program, is also a tool that shows if Service-Learners are using what they have learned in class and applying it at the site of service.
how many hours will my students need to do during the semester? why?
KCC's Service-Learning Program requires a minimum of 20 hours of commitment per semester. Some of our professors require 25 hours or more. Also, some of our organizations, due to the nature of their program, may require a longer commitment (i.e. Waikiki Aquarium, Big Brothers Big Sisters). By asking for the students to do at least 20 hours, the student(s) will have more time to understand and apply the course objectives, and the organization will also benefit from the time the student(s) will spend there.
will service-learning be appropriate for my developmental/entry-level course? how?
Absolutely! Any student can benefit from a Service-Learning experience, so long that the site can be related to the course. Our office can help you and your students in finding an organization that accord with the different levels.
what happens if one of my students has an accident or causes damage at a service-learning site?
During orientation, the students are given a "Required Waiver and Release Form" which they must sign stating that they are aware of the risks they can encounter, "including property damage, personal injury, and death" and that they "assume all risks and responsibilities surrounding this project." In addition, our office has directly visited all partner-sites, and when becoming partners with them, our students' safety has always been top priority.
what can i do to make the service-learning experience smoother for my students?
There are many ways you can help your students enjoy their Service-Learning experience: you can do in-class reflection, which can help them reflect on their time spent in the community and practice skills such observation and critical thinking; keeping active communication with our office also can help in questions students may have about the process of the program. Again, we are here with any help you may need to make this a successful experience for you and your students! Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Server virtualization -- the separation of functionality from the underlying hardware -- offers a tremendous number of advantages. But, according to a Symantec survey, there is a decided downside to this marriage.
The survey, which looked at the opinions of 1,000 organizations, revealed that a lot is slipping through the virtual cracks. The firm found that 35 percent of virtual servers are not included in their firm's disaster recovery planning, according to the internetnews.com story on the survey. The piece said only 37 percent of respondents said they backed up more than 90 percent of their virtual servers. When companies virtualize, only 64 percent reassess and, if necessary, adjust their backup and disaster recovery plans.
A reason may be the lack of adquate tools: Symantec found that there are too many management tools and not enough of them are automated. In short, what is available, despite the number, is inadequate.
Despite these issues, virtualization is an important road to disaster recovery. This posting is, in essence, the executive summary of a white paper to which it links. Instead of focusing on the dangers outlined by Symantec, the white paper positions virtualization as an invaluable aid to disaster recovery. The takeaway is that savvy virtualization can provide far more flexibility and quicker responses in case of an emergency. And it can cut costs. David Demlow, the CTO of Double-Take, concurs. He told IT Business Edge in April that virtualization makes it unnecessary to buy standby machines.
This DABCC piece definitely comes out in favor of virtualized disaster recovery. Indeed, while the writer says disaster recovery is one of the key drivers for corporate adoption of virtualization, he adds that it is not a panacea. After making the case for virtualization, the writer dives into some details. Using VMware's ESX for illustrative purposes, he lists 11 steps that must be manually accomplished for virtual machine recovery. He notes the difficulty of automating these steps but says that VMware industry dominance has enabled it to achieve a high level of automation in its Site Recovery Manager product.
Small businesses face many of the same decisions regarding virtualization. The key difference, however, is that in many cases they will lack the expertise and manpower to make such drastic and basic changes to their infrastructure. It's interesting that this blogger listed backup and disaster recovery before mentioning resource consolidation and infrastructure gains as advantages virtualization brings to small businesses. He says that virtualization provides the ability to make server resources, which now are handled as files, more portable and that it is easier to create a disaster recovery process around them.
