If you're someone who just doesn't have time for crazy budgeting spreadsheets and over the top money management techniques, you're going to love the 50/30/20 rule.
It's basically the perfect budget for beginners and people who hate budgeting.
The reason this rule is so popular is that it's so easy to understand, unlike some other budgeting methods which can seem complicated and overwhelming at first.
The needs category includes things like rent, groceries, utilities, etc – things you couldn't live without.
If the cost of your needs does exceed 50% of your income, you'll either need to look into your budget and make cuts or you'll need to increase your income.
Wants are things you'd rather not live without. They aren't necessities, but your quality of living wouldn't be the same without them.
Now, although the rule states you can spend 30% of your income in this category, it doesn't mean you have to. It also doesn't mean that you should.
If you're in a lot of debt, you should be trying to pay it off as quickly as possible. That might mean spending less than 30% of your income on wants.
It doesn't include things like saving for a vacation or a fun toy, that would be a want.
Now, although this category is the smallest percentage, it's one of the most important. Your goal should be to save more than 20% of your income if it's possible.
Simplicity – The 50/30/20 budget doesn't require any complicated spreadsheets or big-time commitments. It's simple to set up and easy to maintain.
It works – If you implement the 50/30/20 rule properly it will help you spend less, save more, and reach your financial goals faster.
The first step to using the 50/30/20 rule is to figure out your take-home pay, or after-tax income. This is the money that you receive after you've paid all your taxes.
If you're an employee you can figure out your after-tax income by looking at your paystubs.
If you're self-employed or your income isn't super predictable, you're going to have to estimate a little bit.
Although the 50/30/20 rule ends with the 20% savings, we want to start with it.
Why? Because it's a basic personal finance rule that you should always pay yourself first.
So, figure out what 20% of your take-home pay is and put it into something that will benefit you in the future. I recommend setting up an auto-deposit with WealthSimple and just allowing your savings to be invested automatically. This way, your dollars will be working for you, and you won't even have to think about it.
This is an optional step but it's one that I couldn't live without, and it will help you with the upcoming steps.
A spending tracker is just a piece of software that you hook up to your bank account(s) and it tracks your spending automatically. The good ones will even categorize your spending.
If you're in the US, you're lucky because you have access to Personal Capital, which is arguably the best free personal finance app.
If you're in Canada like me, you won't have access to Personal Capital so I recommend using Mint. It's free, it handles spending tracking really well, and it allows you to do some other stuff like budgets and bill reminders, too.
As a third option, you can also check out Trim. Trim can negotiate bills for you, track subscriptions, track spending, send you reminders to pay bills, and a lot more (check out my Trim Review here). I use Trim and Mint together and it's a great combo.
Take that number you figured out in step 1 and cut it in half. That's how much you have to spend on your needs.
In order to see if you're actually meeting this requirement, you need to figure out how much you're actually spending on your needs.
Groceries – Eating is definitely a necessity but there are so many easy ways to save money on groceries.
Housing – It's hard to find savings here but there are some options. Get a roommate or rent your spare room on Airbnb to save money on rent.
Transportation – There are tons of ways to lower your transportation costs. Carpool, take public transit or drive for Uber/Lyft while you're on your way to work.
Phone – Check your phone bill and see if you're spending more than you need to. If you want a cheaper phone plan check out Mint Mobile (their plans start at $15/month).
Still spending too much? Try increasing your income with these 20 ways to make extra money.
Ok, finally on to the best category – wants!
You're basically going to do the same thing you did above. Figure out what 30% of your income is first, then figure out how much you're currently spending on wants by using your spending tracker from step 3.
If you're spending over 30% of your income on wants, you definitely need to make some changes.
It should actually be your goal to spend less than 30% on wants that so that you can put more money towards your savings as we mentioned above.
Also, if you're paying off any debt you should also try to spend as little as possible in the wants category so that you can put more money towards your debt.
Spend as little as you possibly can on wants. You don't HAVE to spend 30% of your income here, and if you can manage to spend less you'll reach your financial goals much faster.
You should be spending a maximum of 50% of your income on needs.
You should be spending a maximum of 30% of your income on wants.
You should put a minimum of 20% of your income towards savings!!!
Also, once you start using the 50/30/20 rule, make sure to review your spending each month using your spending tracker that we talked about in step 3.
If this budgeting method isn't working for you, I highly recommend trying the zero-based budget method.
Let me know what you think about the 50/30/20 budget rule in the comments below! Do you love it or hate it?

This year, the University of Maine is taking part in the Outdoor Nation Campus Challenge. It is a competition among 90 colleges across the United States to get students engaged in outdoor activities. The challenge officially begins on Sept. 18.
"We are competing against all these other schools to be 'the most outdoorsy school in the nation,''' Lisa Carter, the director of Maine Bound Adventure Center, said.
The competition is conducted entirely through the Outdoor Nation mobile app. Every participant logs their outdoor activities by taking a photo of evidence that they got outside and were active, be it a photo of their shadow or a selfie.
The Outdoor Nation Campus Challenge was created with the goal of getting as many people outside as possible. According to a report by Common Sense Media, teenagers spend over eight hours a day looking at screens. The American College Health Association reports that 29 percent of college students are overweight.
"Those outdoor activities can range from stargazing, bird watching, hammocking, running in the trails, paddling, outdoor or indoor rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding," Carter said.
With the goal of getting students outside, Maine Bound works to make their trips as affordable as possible.
"If you compare our trips to any other trips by another guiding service, they're extremely cheap," Carter said.
Maine Bound charges members between $15 and $80 for all trips leaving the campus.
Carter shared that the hardest part of getting inexperienced students on trips is competing with more accessible and less intimidating means of entertainment, such as eating out or going to the movies.
She believes that it takes more than a flyer to get students to see the value in such an adventure.
Audibert shared that being outdoors is important to her, and that she sees the competition as a great way to meet people with similar values.
Hoffman and Audibert will be tabling on the Mall every day besides Monday for the duration of the challenge, which ends on Oct. 15.
Maine Bound has been leading the way in the effort to promote the challenge, working with the Student Life department and Orono Parks and Recreation. There are several promotional events planned, including a visit by the L.L. Bean Bootmobile for the start of the challenge on Monday and Tuesday. Maine Bound will be doing giveaways and offering students a chance to try slacklining. Maine Bound will also host Ed Webster, a renowned mountaineer and first ascensionist, in the Hauck Auditorium on Sept. 29.
Paddle Fest will be held on Saturday, Sept. 23 at the Steamplant lot. Maine Bound will bring out canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for participants to try out. There will be free food and live music for participants to enjoy. Maine Bound will also be holding the Blackout Climbathon on Oct. 5 and a 5K trail run by headlamp on Oct. 13. All Maine Bound trips can be used to get points for the challenge. Maine Bound's full event and trip schedule can be found at umaine.edu/campusrecreation/mainebound.

Q: WCF binding configuration for SalesForce Api For an application i'm developing i need to make a call on the SalesForce api. With SvcUtil i generated a proxy and integrated this in my solution. After i made a call via code, i get the following request and exception response. I use a normal basicHttpBinding.
  <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

  </soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>

However, if call the service with SoapUI, i don't get any errors. After googling i tried to make some changes in the binding and created a custom binding for forcing the soap version to 1.2, but didn't find a good solution. What should i change in the binding configuration?
This is the SoapUI call:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:partner.soap.sforce.com">
<soapenv:Body>
  <urn:login>
     <urn:username>XXXX</urn:username>
     <urn:password>XXXX</urn:password>
  </urn:login>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

A: After some research i found out that creating a proxy using "Add service reference" creates a proxy that works. So my problem is solved. Still have to check what the difference is between the generated proxies.

US STOCKS-Wall St to open slightly lower on weak profit outlook
Published 3:34 PM ET Sun, 11 Nov 2012
* Alcoa beats expectations but cautions of slowdown
* Yum Brands defies China sluggish growth, raises outlook
* True Religion exploring sale, shares jump
* Futures: Dow off 22 pts, S&P off 1 pt, Nasdaq up 0.25 pt
(Adds comment, updates prices)
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were set for a slightly lower open on Wednesday as earnings season started with a warning from Alcoa about slower aluminum consumption, underscoring concerns about sluggish worldwide growth.
Other large companies warned of slowed growth, including Dow component Chevron and engine maker Cummins Inc.
Stronger demand from airplane and automobile producers helped Alcoa
, the largest U.S. aluminum producer, to report third-quarter results that beat analysts' expectations. Alcoa shares lost 1.6 percent to $8.98 in premarket trade.
Lackluster growth in China, the world's second-largest economy, is expected to rein in corporate earnings in the third quarter and dent profit forecasts as the Asian nation feels the pinch of the debt crisis in the euro zone, a key trading partner.
Earlier in the week, the World Bank cut its growth forecast for East Asia on concerns China's slowdown could last longer than expected.
"You've seen very cautionary earnings results and even forward guidance. Alcoa has good earnings, but their forward guidance is lackluster. It points to a slow China and slow global growth," said Richard Weeks, managing director at HighTower Advisors in Vienna, Virginia.
"The question is when does sentiment change where (bad) news dampens the market."
Analysts forecast third-quarter earnings of Wall Street's S&P 500
companies would fall 2.3 percent from the year-ago quarter, according to Thomson Reuters data, which would be the first drop in U.S. quarterly earnings in three years.
According to data through Tuesday, 94 companies in the benchmark S&P index have issued negative outlooks, compared with 22 positive pre-announcements, for a ratio of 4.3, the weakest showing since the third quarter of 2001.
Going against general declines was Yum Brands Inc
which gained 4.8 percent to $69.20 in premarket trading. The KFC parent company had raised its full-year outlook after sales in China held up, despite that nation's cooling economy.
S&P 500 futures
shed 1 point and were slightly below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures
fell 22 points, while Nasdaq 100 futures
added 0.25 point.
The S&P 500 has fallen for three consecutive sessions on growing concerns about corporate profits, with the index closing on Thursday near the technical support level of 1,440.
Economic data expected Wednesday include wholesale inventories for August at 10 a.m. (1400 GMT) and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book of economic conditions at 2 p.m. (1800 GMT).
dipped 2 percent to $115.02 in premarket after the second-largest U.S. oil company warned third-quarter profits would be "substantially lower" than in the previous quarter as a hurricane and maintenance curbed its oil and gas output and a fire hit its refining arm.
U.S. engine maker Cummins Inc
lowered its 2012 forecast for a second time this year, citing delays in customer spending due to a weakening global economy, and said it would cut up to 1500 jobs. Cummins shares dropped 4.3 percent to $86.90 in premarket.
Earnings from warehouse chain Costco Wholesale Corp
were a bright spot; the company reported a 27 percent jump in fourth quarter profit, on higher sales and membership fees. Costco shares were up 3 percent to $102.60 in premarket trade.
Coming on the heels of a 2013 profit forecast that was cut last month, FedEx Corp
said it plans to slash costs at its underperforming express air freight and services divisions, with profit improvements of $1.7 billion planned at those operations over the next four years. Shares gained 3.6 percent to $88.66 in premarket.
True Religion Apparel Inc
surged 24.4 percent to $26.17 in premarket trading after the denim maker said it was evaluating strategic alternatives which could include a possible sale of the company, after receiving indications of interest from third parties.

¡¡Consensus between govt and people important in fight against pollution¡¡¡¡2017-01-09 ¡¡
AT A MEDIA BRIEFING on Friday, Chen Jining, minister of environmental protection, said he "felt guilty" for the air pollution that has inconvenienced people's lives. Cai Qi, acting mayor of Beijing, expressed similar concerns at a seminar on Saturday that was also attended by 16 citizen representatives. Beijing News commented on Sunday:
Instead of equivocating about the severe air pollution in North China, the two senior officials sought to address it in a candid manner. They not only conveyed how serious the lingering smog was but also proposed long-term, sustainable measures to keep the sky clear.
Such sincerity should make residents and officials in smog-stricken cities like Beijing reach a consensus on how to curb pollution. At the Saturday seminar, the acting mayor admitted that the forecast for heavy air pollution was not accurate enough and some local governments failed to take necessary precautions. He also said diesel-powered trucks, which account for just 5 percent of all local vehicles, could generate nearly half of the oxynitride emissions from vehicles.

"Phool Aur Kaante' is the Hindi dubbed version of 'Maska' the popular Telugu film. The movie showcases the tussle between political rivals, Simhachalam (Mukhesh Rishi) and Shinde (Pradeep Rawat) over a ministerial berth. The fact that Simhachalam has a daughter Meenakshi (Hansika) with a second wife (Sita) might work against him. Meanwhile, an idler, Krishnakanth aka Krish (Ram) plans to marry a girl working in the software industry so that he can fulfill his dream of going to the USA. He begins to lure Manju (Sheela), who is Simhachalam's legitimate daughter. But, then, Meenakshi enters his life. Who does Krish really love and get married to? And who becomes the minister? Watch this gripping tale.

Alphabet Pebbles give you a hands-on approach to letters and word building. You can use them indoors, outdoors, and even in sand and water tubs because they are made from a mixture of stone and resin. It's easy to see why this product has won so many awards. To win the alphabet pebbles, you'll need to visit their Facebook page in the rafflecopter below. (It would be great if you click "LIKE" as well.) This is a $60 gift. WHOOP!
The next fabulous product you can win is The Reading Game. I can tell you that most of the Kinder/First Grade bloggers were buzzing about trying out this product. Erika showed us how to play and we were hooked. Watch the video on the site to see what I mean. Apparently we aren't the only ones impressed...you'll see that this game is winning award after award. This is a $35 value, but YOU can get it for free. All you have to do is visit their Facebook page in the rafflecopter below. (It would be great if you click "LIKE" as well.) But wait, there's MORE! Please check out the free downloads on the site that you can use for pre and post assessments with the game.
Smart friends, that's $190 worth of prizes! All you have to do is enter your email to follow (go to the top of the blog) and then make 5 Facebook hops. Those 6 steps are a MUST and will only take a minute! For an extra chance, you can also follow on Bloglovin'. The winner will be announced Sunday, March 29, 2015. GOOD LUCK!
SC Kinder Teachers Conference...Thanks, Y'all!
It sure was fun spending the day with SC Kindergarten teachers (SDE SC Conference for Kindergarten Teachers). I mean they speak my language, y'all! They were fun and friendly and ready to show their dance moves!
Did you know that brain research says I can only hope to keep your attention for 20 minutes? No problem...here we are up again!
Friends that attended, here are the video links you requested.
Also thanks to Tracie McGovern for sharing information with the group about the Sounds in Motion program. Please go to the link to find out more!
If you have any trouble with the top-secret link to the session handouts, just drop me a note.
How can you get your hands on all the free stuff we shared? Attend an SDE workshop in your state or in VEGAS!!
I am humbled to speak to teachers and leave knowing there is so much for ME to learn, so a special treat for me was getting to hear my friend Kim Hughes present.
If you were at the sessions, I'd love to hear from you. Hope to see you soon!
Through a series of fortunate events and the gracious hospitality of Meghan Harris @ Keeping Up with Mrs. Harris, I was able to attend the EDexpo 2015. What is the Edexpo? It's the annual educational products marketplace...where all the teacher stores and companies buy the cool stuff in their stores. There were over 150 companies exhibiting the latest and greatest products for educating kids. Now why would this crazy bunch of teacher bloggers meet up for that? We each got to vote on our 10 favorite finds. Yeah. Turns out teachers' opinions count! The results were tallied and here is what we loved. Because I was focused on early childhood materials, I didn't see everything on this list, but I'm sure if our group voted the items in, they are HOT NOW! Please PIN these items so other teachers know they are available!
Lucky me...I got a free set! My kinders have already enjoyed using these letters with the iPads. The activities app is free. At less than $30, I think you'll want to try them out.
This is Meghan and Bonnie Kathryn from Bonnie Kathryn Kinders and Beyond learning about this award winning reading game that teaches Dolch and High Frequency Sight words. Watch the video to learn how it works!
The essence of Say It! is turning a card to reveal a word or phrase, which is then used in a sentence or to continue a thought. Aloud. Say It! should be played by 3 or more people.
Here's why the teachers loved this product: They are a great sensory therapy toy. Due to their texture and spring-like action, they help develop fine-motor skills and help kids with ADD, Autism and sensory challenges calm their fidgety fingers.
Girls, start your engines! Here are award-winning books and toys for the young female engineer.
F.U.N. stands for Fluency and Understanding Numbers. This number line is a visual representation for sharing students' thinking and developing number sense. There are different grade level boxes available. I looked at the K-1 kit shown here.
Kids who wear these bands can practice skip counting and multiplication facts wherever they go! No need to keep up with cards. The sets of bands come with an activity guide.
I'm gonna just go ahead and admit I couldn't keep my hands off of these. They have a foam insert for pushing and different textures. They were designed to assist children with social and emotional regulation. (Guess I needed that!) They can be attached (with Velcro) to learning areas where the child works.
by The Pencil Grip, Inc.
If you've got kids that need help with holding a pencil, then this company has options! Just head over to their website to see the right choices for your students.
I love to find new building products! The Kapla concept is simple. No glue, no screws and no clips are needed with the simple pine blocks. Each block is simply placed one on top of the other. The blocks are held in place by gravity and balance alone. A great way to allow children to build, create and use their imaginations!
I missed these as well, but the science teachers loved them. So you lay down a card, solve the puzzle and it lights up. This builds spatial reasoning and abstract thinking.
WHEW! That's only the beginning. In addition to the top products, I found a few of my own that got my votes because they were perfect for our youngest smart kids. I'll share those with you in another post SOON! Remember, pin the items you liked so other teachers can find them.


In the late 1990s, a new "great generation" emerged—the "Baby Bust" generation of children born in the late '60s and '70s. Author Douglas Coupland first called them "Generation X" (hereafter, "GenX") in his 1991 book, "Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture," and the name has stuck.
Against all odds, the young adults now aged between 21 and 36 have reversed every bad social trend of the last four decades, despite getting little help from either their families or the government.
Derided as "slackers" 10 years ago, GenX has helped build a new information-based economy, won several wars, made equality for women and minorities a reality and helped make American society healthier in numerous ways.
As a bonus, GenXers also are the most racially integrated group ever. The police officers and firefighters in their 30s who lost their lives on Sept. 11 saving others were the quintessential example of their GenX generation.
Few people would have had positive thoughts about GenX in 1990. The conventional wisdom about the kids growing up since the baby boom ended in 1965 has been disappointment. Eleven years ago, William Strauss and Neil Howe published "Generations," a study that interpreted American history through an age-based prism. According to their theory, American children alternated between "dominant" and "recessive" generations.
For example, the World War II cohort was definitely an active group, while the so-called "Silent Generation" that followed them in the '50s were reactive. Accordingly, Strauss and Howe classified named the boomers (civil rights, women's rights and anti-war demonstrations galore) as dominant, while GenX kids were reacting to all the changes wrought by the 1960s and 1970s.
Conservatives saw foul-mouthed, abrasive, violent, poorly educated youths from broken homes with dismal family values as crime levels and the out-of-wedlock birthrate set new records every year during the 1980s.
Two years after their first book, Strauss and Howe published their take solely on GenX, using computer lingo to describe what they called another "lost generation." Is it any wonder they felt that way? In 1990, the out-of-wedlock birthrate was nearly 25 percent for all Americans and about 70 percent for blacks. After nearly 35 straight years of a rising crime rate, the United States had more people in prison than any other country except South Africa. In numerous cities, the number of murders set new records. Despite a generally healthy economy, more than 35 million Americans were chronically poor and on welfare.
Well, to paraphrase Art Linkletter, kids do the darndest things. Against all odds and expectations, and to an extent that would have seemed astonishing a decade ago, GenXers have turned their lives around.
Since moving to California a decade ago, I've worked as both a political consultant and teacher. Many of my colleagues in these two fields have been GenXers, and I couldn't help but be impressed by their high energy levels and dedication to their work.
By the late 1970s, jobs in traditional manufacturing industries like autos and steel were in sharp decline. So the GenXers went out and helped create the high-tech industry that fueled the 1990s recovery. Boomer visionaries like Bill Gates may have developed the concepts, but it was GenX who executed them. Virtually all rank and file computer workers were born after 1964.
The results were outstanding, with 16 million more Americans finding jobs during the Clinton years and the lowest peacetime unemployment rate (4.5 percent) since the 1950s. This was the greatest job growth of any eight-year period in history.
These new workers also included 2 million former welfare recipients who found jobs after the Republican Congress passed welfare reform and President Clinton signed it in 1996 (leading to a 50 percent reduction in the welfare rolls). It was the hard work of GenX that drove the Internet-era economy and booming stock market that did so much to balance the federal budget by 1998.
Driving the growth of the "New Economy" has been the substantial increase in college graduates. In 1980, roughly 950,000 Americans received college degrees. By 2001, nearly 1.1 million did, an increase of more than 20 percent. College entrance scores in this time frame also went up by 26 points. Despite the above-average rise in college costs, GenXers have become the best-educated Americans yet.
And a majority of those new college graduates are now women. This year, at least 100,000 more women than men will go to college. GenX is the first generation with full equality for women and minorities (most women work out of economic necessity). Here is one area where baby boom women and minority rights activists of the '60s and '70s should receive some credit for breaking down barriers.
This current generation of young African Americans is the most successful ever. The black unemployment rate dropped from 14 percent in 1980 to a record-low 7 percent in 2001. The percentage of black families below the poverty line fell from 33 percent in 1992 to 23 percent in 1999. More than 70 percent of African-Americans have reached (at least) stable working class status, and a majority could rightly be called middle class.
There are now more than 3 million blacks with college degrees; 14 percent of all blacks over age 25 have college degrees now, compared with just 3 percent in 1960. Undeniably, they owe some of their success to the civil rights pioneers of the '50s and '60s, some of whom literally gave their lives to improve the prospects of future generations.
The improvement has been striking. In retrospect, we can now see that the critics who called GenXers violent, cynical, greedy and dumb were wrong.
This generation has reversed just about every bad social trend: divorce rates have come down from their 1981 peak, the percentage of unwed births has started to decline, infant mortality rates dropped from 20 per 1,000 births in 1970 to 6.9 in 2000, suicide rates decreased by 21 percent from 1970 to 1999, at least 20 percent fewer high school seniors use drugs than in 1980, the total number of crimes committed decreased by 5 percent from 1979 to 1999 while the population was increasing by 24 percent.
GenXers have made the U.S. Armed Forces the most integrated institution in America. In 1975, at the close of the Vietnam era, women and minorities were just 17 percent of the military. By 1999, the military was 22 percent black (compared to 14 percent in 1975), 15 percent women (up from 2 percent) and 9 percent Hispanic (up from 1.4 percent).
Prior to the Persian Gulf War in 1991, a fiftyish congressional chief of staff worried that we might lose because the soldiers consisted of "kids who couldn't get a job during the booming '80s." Yet this fighting force—with more women and minorities than ever—has repeatedly smashed opposing armies pretty much around the world: in Panama, the Persian Gulf, Kosovo and now Afghanistan.
What some elite intellectuals forgot was that kids who come up the hard way often develop traits—toughness, street smarts, adaptability—that can be quite handy in adverse situations. The GenX armed forces have proved particularly skillful with high-tech weapons—apparently all that time the kids spent playing video games wasn't wasted.
In addition, perhaps appropriate to GenX, the spectacular victories won in the Gulf War and Afghanistan came without reports (so far) of a single atrocity like the My Lai massacre in Vietnam.
Despite a number of ugly racial incidents in places like Howard Beach and Forsyth County, Ga., and the rise of Louis Farrakhan, GenXers have proved surprisingly tolerant. For earlier generations, racial harmony was a political statement. For kids today growing up in a time of a record number of immigrants from the Third World and a record number of blacks and Hispanics living in the suburbs, it's simply how they live. It is no accident that the youngest group of white voters in California voted the most heavily against Propositions 187 (to cut off services for illegal immigrants) and 209 (to ban racial preferences).
Intermarriage is the ultimate proof of GenX tolerance: The 2000 Census reported that nearly 7 million Americans called themselves "multiracial." On the West Coast, nearly half of all Asian-American women marry outside their race, as do about a fifth of Hispanics. Thirty years ago, interracial marriage was largely a black man marrying a white or Hispanic woman. In the last decade, over 1 million black women have married white, Hispanic or Asian husbands.
Maggie Linden, a West Coast political consultant with a GenX daughter, recently attended a baby shower in her daughter's Los Angeles home and noticed that virtually every couple there was mixed-race. What was remarkable to her went unremarked-upon among the kids.
When talking about an entire generation, you have to paint in broad strokes. So, broadly speaking, it's fair to evaluate GenX this way: Everything that should be up (work, marriage, education levels), over the past 20 years, is. Every bad social indicator (crime, divorce, suicide, welfare dependency, illegitimacy, drug use) is down.
If the kids who produced the positive social trends of the last decade can keep up the good work, we can all rest assured about the future of America.

IDEAL LIFE and Sprint Introduce New Home Health Wellness Communication Gateway
TORONTO - Jan. 5, 2012 - IDEAL LIFE and Sprint (NYSE:S) today unveiled a new cellular pod that will make it easier than ever for users to manage wellness and monitor chronic conditions remotely. The pod, which will make its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show Jan. 10-13 in Las Vegas, uses wireless Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication to share information over the Nationwide Sprint Network, which reaches more than 312 million people in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (inclusive of roaming).
The device serves as a communication gateway, creating a remote network for instantaneous, secure, two-way communication between a user and his designated healthcare team. Once activated, the pod automatically syncs (pairs) with any of IDEAL LIFE's wireless monitoring devices.
The cost of healthcare is one of the preeminent issues of the 21st century, and IDEAL LIFE's solutions are proven to improve wellness and reduce costs through education and self-management. Because of a shift toward preventive care, the remote health management industry is set to grow exponentially this decade, and Sprint and IDEAL LIFE's collaboration will help facilitate proactive prevention among hospitals, physicians, caregivers and patients.
"IDEAL LIFE's relationship with Sprint was forged early last year with the goal of expanding IDEAL LIFE's product portfolio to include embedded wireless devices," said Harvey Goldberg, CEO of IDEAL LIFE, Inc. "This new offering continues that endeavor and is an example of how wireless technologies, combined with medical applications, can transform healthcare delivery."
The IDEAL LIFE system features FDA-cleared and HIPAA-compliant products, such as the IDEAL LIFE Gluco-ManagerTM (blood glucose meter), IDEAL LIFE BP ManagerTM (blood pressure monitor), and IDEAL LIFE Body-ManagerTM (body weight scale). Users can take readings with their device of choice, and deliver more accurate and immediate data to healthcare providers who can, in turn, share relevant, reliable and actionable information. This information can be delivered on demand, to any location, through collaborative solutions that are mobile, secure and accessible using this new communication gateway.
IDEAL LIFE, an ISO-certified company, which recently received the prestigious Innovations in Healthcare ABBY Award for its efforts to reduce the cost of quality healthcare, is the leader in remote health management and is revolutionizing healthcare by enhancing connectivity with smart technology throughout the care continuum. The most comprehensive system available, the IDEAL LIFE platform enables people to be healthier and more independent, reduces healthcare costs and provides better use of healthcare resources.
IDEAL LIFE provides physicians, caregivers, family and individuals maintaining healthy lifestyles or managing chronic conditions with smart, affordable, wireless, user-friendly technology anytime, anywhere, to fit any lifestyle. Its digital, two-way and interactive technology streamlines the patient-doctor relationship by allowing individuals to become active participants in their own healthcare through education and self-management, involving the physician when appropriate, thereby saving needless trips to the physician's office while allowing physicians to manage more patients more efficiently.
"Wireless M2M solutions present an opportunity to streamline healthcare and provide greater access to critical patient information at significantly less cost and effort," said Wayne Ward, vice president-Emerging Solutions Group, Sprint. "We are proud to collaborate with IDEAL LIFE to facilitate real-time dialogue and data exchange between individuals and medical professionals. The potential to improve patient wellness and physician efficiency in an on-demand setting is just one example of how connected devices are fundamentally changing every aspect of the way we work and live."
The pod is available based on specific user needs, offered separately from other IDEAL LIFE devices, and users are not required to have a Sprint account to achieve connectivity with the device. Some products have a monthly service fee that is available free of charge through select health plans. For more information on IDEAL LIFE, visit www.ideallifeonline.com. To learn more about Sprint's health care solutions, visit www.sprint.com/healthcare.
About the Sprint Emerging Solutions Group
With more than a dozen years of experience with M2M, Sprint has been at the forefront of this wireless industry revolution, teaming with and supporting a large and diverse portfolio of innovative companies to create smarter wireless solutions that change the way people work and live. Last year, Sprint opened the Sprint M2M Collaboration Center in Burlingame, Calif., a hands-on, interactive lab where ideas knowledge and technology unite to produce wirelessly enabled M2M concepts and products. Earlier this year, Sprint also introduced the Sprint Command Center, a Web-based portal that allows businesses with Sprint wireless-connected products the ability to manage, activate and de-activate each device.

Anti-Inflammatory Herbs in the Clinic
By Janet Gulland | Contributing Writer - Vol. 5, No. 4. Winter, 2004
There are solid clinical trials supporting a number of botanical medicines for the treatment of arthritis, low back pain, and other chronic pain conditions. This growing body of literature includes several direct comparisons between herbs and Vioxx or other pharmaceuticals. Following are reviews of data on the most promising herbs for chronic pain, arthritis, and inflammatory conditions.

Birth and Botanicals: Herbal Allies During Pregnancy and Lactation
By Janet Gulland | Staff Writer - Vol. 8, No. 1. Spring, 2007
The idea of pregnant women taking herbal medicines makes a lot of physicians nervous. Dr. Paul Saunders believes the fear is largely unfounded. Herbs, like Viburnum, Mitchella, Rubus, Aletris, and Melissa, can safely mitigate many different health challenges during pregnancy and lactation.
TCM Herbs Help Break the Stress-Insomnia-Obesity Triad
By Bob Garrison, R.Ph. and Kerry Hughes, M.Sc. | Contributing Writers - Vol. 7, No. 3. Fall, 2006
Stress, sleeplessness and weight gain are inter-related and self-reinforcing problems that wreak havoc on an individual's health. Researchers are starting to understand how these problems are connected. The good news is, a combination of two Chinese herbs, Magnolia and Phellodendron, can safely and effectively break the metabolic cycles that drive these conditions.
Botanical Medicine's "Shiny Horse" Rides to the Rescue of Damaged Mucous Membranes
By Janet Gulland | Contributing Writer - Vol. 7, No. 3. Fall, 2006
Named for Pegasus, the flying horse of Greek myth, Sea Buckthorn plant (Hippophae rhamnoides) has been mainstay of traditional medicine in Eastern Europe and Asia for centuries. Its orange berries are very rich in Omega 7 fatty acids as well as vitamin E and other compounds speed the healing and support the integrity of the skin and other mucous membranes. It may have an important role in treating irritable bowel syndrome and other gut problems.
Natural Therapies for Allergic Rhinitis
By Kamyar Hedayat, MD | Contributing Writer - Vol. 9, No. 3. Fall, 2008
Allergic rhinitis may not be the most serious problem confronting us as primary care physicians. But it is very common, affecting up to one-fifth of the US population, including children. This amounts to 40,000,000 people. While not life threatening, it causes a great deal of discomfort, and more importantly, it can be an indicator of dysfunction of the adrenals, liver, immune system, or of dysbiosis and/or chronic stress, all of which warrant careful assessment and treatment.
Black Cohosh Compares Favorably With Drug Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms
By Tori Hudson, ND | Contributing Writer - Vol. 9, No. 3. Fall, 2008
In the first head to head comparison of a botanical therapy versus a drug for management of menopausal symptoms, a standardized formulation of Black Cohosh was equally effective as tibolone, a drug widely used in Europe and Asia; the herbal formula had fewer adverse effects. Pycnogenol, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory derived from the bark of French Maritime Pine trees, can reduce menopausal symptoms while improving women's lipid profiles.
To Sleep, Perchance To Heal: Managing Sleep Disorders Without Medications
Chronic sleep problems are so common that many people simply accept them as an inevitable part of modern life. But lack of sleep is extremely detrimental to health. According to Anne McClenon, ND, chronic sleep loss should be considered a medical emergency. But quick-fix drugs are not the answer. Nutrients like melatonin, herbs like Valerian, and elimination of late night TV or computer use, are a lot safer and more effective in restoring healthy sleep.


La Placita Dining Rooms is a restaurant serving New Mexico cuisine housed in an 1880 building originally known as Casa Armijo. La Placita Dining Rooms was established in 1935 and is rumored to be haunted by at least four ghosts, especially in the women's restroom and the upstairs area. The apparition of a young girl appears in the mirrors of the women's restroom, once part of her bedroom. She is believed to have died here in the late 1880s. A misty apparition, cold spots, and names whispered into employees' ears also have been reported.
I love this restaurant and I discovered it about 6 months ago along with my friend. I had never used the restroom until my 2nd visit and although I didn't see anything I felt VERY uneasy in the bathroom for some reason. I basically ran down the stairs that lead from the upstairs. Very scary and strange feeling I will never let myself feel again.

Q: Can I suggest "Generate method stub" where to store new generated code in Visual C#? I'm using Microsoft Visual C# 2010.
I have one class in two files:
file1.cs
partial class SomeClass {
    // something
}

file2.cs
partial class SomeClass {
    // something else
}

Now, in some third place in project, when I write "SomeClass.SomeMethod()" and press Alt+Shift+F10, and pick "generate method stub..." it always creates code in file1.cs.
My question is: Is it possible to give directive to do it in file2.cs, and how?

A: You can use the Resharper function for it. (you can install it via the extension manager)

A: No, it's not possible by default installation of VS2010

A: You should be able to create the code generation parts with the following file naming convention

Steelers' Saunders still fighting to have suspension reversed
Jul 29, 2012 at 12:01 AM Jul 29, 2012 at 11:45 PM
LATROBE � Weslye Saunders doesn�t believe he did anything wrong to warrant a four-game suspension. He can only hope the NFL agrees.
A reserve tight end for the Steelers, Saunders was punished in February when he failed a drug test. He was deemed guilty of violating the league�s performance-enhancing substance policy.
But the drug in question was Adderall, a stimulant often used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Adderall is also known as a �study drug� often used by students who want to focus and stay awake while cramming.
Saunders, a second-year pro who�s vying for the backup job behind Heath Miller, has already appealed his case to the NFL once but was denied. But he has since tested the appeal process again and hopes to either have the suspension overturned or at least reduced.
�I�m hopeful Commissioner (Roger) Goodell will lighten up on me,� said Saunders, who claims he didn�t know Adderall was illegal in the eyes of the NFL.
In May, Giants running back Andre Brown had his four-game suspension for using Adderall lifted. And Texans punter Brett Hartmann, who also tested positive for Adderall, had his four-game suspension reduced to three games.
�I don�t have any information regards to that,� coach Mike Tomlin said about Saunders� second appeal.
If Saunders� second appeal is denied, he will still be allowed to take part in all training camp practices and the four preseason games. His suspension goes into effect immediately after the Steelers� final exhibition.
Once on suspension, Saunders won�t be allowed to practice or play with the Steelers. He can�t sit in on any team meetings and won�t be allowed to work out in the weight room at team headquarters. And he won�t be paid for the four games he sits out.
When news of Saunders� suspension first became public, there was speculation that the Steelers would cut him. But that probably won�t happen. He�s a big man (6-foot-5, 270 pounds) with plenty of potential.
As the third-team tight end last year behind Miller and David Johnson, Saunders only caught four passes. But he played in every game, started six times when the offense opened in a multiple-tight end sets, and caught a touchdown pass.
This year with Johnson playing mostly at fullback, Saunders has a good chance of beating out Leonard Pope, who played for the Chiefs the past three years, for the backup job.
Is Saunders worried about gettting cut because of his impending suspension?
�It�s something I try not to think about too much,� he said. �I can just control my play at training camp. I know what I�m capable of. If I worry about it too much, it will affect my play on the field.�
It�s early in camp, but Saunders has played well. His forte is pass-catching; he knows he has to improve his blocking. But the past four days with Miller hobbling with an ankle injury, Saunders got plenty of reps with the first-team offense.
�As it stands right now, I won�t be playing the first four games,� Saunders said. �So the preseason is really important to me. It�s my time to show what I can do and prove that I�m worthy of sticking around once the regular season starts even if I am suspended for those first four games.�
