Are you saving up for your long-term-care costs? While some people purchase long-term-care insurance on the private market, many others haven't taken that step.
It's not surprising: Long-term-care insurance is not an inexpensive product, and it's insurance for something that, if you die relatively suddenly, you will never need.
Still, you'll have noticed that nursing homes in the U.S. are not empty, so it's important to at least consider such insurance. Even people who never end up in a nursing home may find, at some point in their lives, that they need some help to stay at home and independent. That last situation is where the CLASS Act aims. That new law, part of the health-care overhaul, will eventually provide a public insurance plan in which people can choose to participate if they want a home-care benefit at some point down the road.
It's not a perfect plan and it has plenty of critics. For one thing, the benefit will not cover your nursing-home costs, by any means. But it also, at a minimum, might provide a couple of hours of home-health-aide care per day — and that's a big help to a lot of people.

Wonkbook: WH plans health reform push; Fed likely to delay; BP well dead Ding-dong, BP's well is dead. Or, at the least, sealed with cement plugs. Tests conducted Sunday affirmed that the "bottom kill" will hold, and thus that particular danger is over. Now there's just the long period of clean-up and damage assessment, and for BP, the long legal fight against claims and suits.
Speaking of long fights, the Obama administration is ramping up its campaigning on the Affordable Care Act. The bill has been battered lately by confident Republican opponents (not to mention poor poll numbers), but unbeknown to most, some of its more populist measures -- like caps on annual limits, and allowing children to stay on their parents' plans until they're 26 -- are taking effect. The White House is hoping they can use these parts as a base on which to build a campaign for the whole.
It's Monday. Welcome to Wonkbook.
Obama is renewing his defense of the Affordable Care Act, report Janet Adamy and Laura Meckler: "The Obama administration this week plans to revive its pitch for the health-care overhaul, hoping that a slate of consumer-friendly provisions will boost public support before midterm elections. Starting Thursday, insurers officially must adhere to about a half-dozen key changes under the law, including eliminating co-payments for preventive services and allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance policy until their 26th birthday. Democrats structured the provisions so they would kick in right before the elections, thinking incumbents would have a tangible achievement to promote on the campaign trail."
The Fed will likely delay action on the economy at tomorrow's meeting, reports Sewell Chan: "The committee's Aug. 10 meeting was dominated by a vigorous discussion over the decision to reinvest the mortgage-related bond proceeds -- an approach Mr. Bernanke favored. The meeting on Tuesday will probably be used to assess actions the committee might take at its meetings on Nov. 2 and 3 and Dec. 14. 'Officials are likely to spend much of the session debating the pros and cons of the various stimulus options so that they can be ready to act should future data prove disappointing,' Richard Berner, chief United States economist at Morgan Stanley, wrote in a report last week."
BP's oil well is now dead, reports Guy Chazan: "BP's well 'is effectively dead,' said Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen in a statement after tests verified the strength of a cement plug placed at its bottom... The 'bottom kill' involved flooding the gap between the well casing and the rock formation that surrounds it with cement through a relief well that intersected the Deepwater Horizon well at a depth of 18,000 feet. The operation finished Friday, and cement tests early Sunday morning confirmed that 'the well has been permanently sealed with cement plugs,' a U.S. government statement said."
Meet the man who finally killed the well. Guy Chazan reports : "Mr. Wright is the man BP brought in to oversee the relief well that has finally closed the book on the Gulf oil spill. It brings to an end a saga that exploded into the public consciousness on April 20 when the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig blew up off the Louisiana coast, killing 11 men. The relief well Mr. Wright drilled for BP is the 41st he has designed and managed in a legendary oil-industry career that took him from the seas of Alaska to the tea plantations of Bangladesh."
Electric blues interlude: The Black Keys play "Countdown" live.
Still to come: Older workers may never be able to re-enter the labor market; BP's responsibilities have not ended even as the spill has; the food safety bill is still stalled in the Senate; and a cat gives another cat a massage.
Unemployed people over 50 face a real chance of never working again, reports Motoko Rich: "Of the 14.9 million unemployed, more than 2.2 million are 55 or older. Nearly half of them have been unemployed six months or longer, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate in the group -- 7.3 percent -- is at a record, more than double what it was at the beginning of the latest recession. After other recent downturns, older people who lost jobs fretted about how long it would take to return to the work force and worried that they might never recover their former incomes. But today, because it will take years to absorb the giant pool of unemployed at the economy's recent pace, many of these older people may simply age out of the labor force before their luck changes."
The recession is hurting family nest eggs, reports Ylan Mui: "In the 1980s and 1990s, the stock and real estate markets helped many families amass wealth to prepare for college costs or retirement. But now there is mounting concern among economists and business leaders over whether high rates of return will be sustainable in this century...Stock markets ended the past 10 years virtually flat. Meanwhile, the real estate crash has wiped out the gains homeowners saw earlier in the decade. Some economists are now dubbing the era a 'lost decade.'"
Neil Irwin explains how a little bit of inflation could help the economy: "The low inflation numbers reflect the reluctance of businesses to raise prices amid weak demand for their products and the inability of most workers to get raises at a time of high unemployment...Inflation would make the heavy debt that Americans carry a bit more manageable as wages rise but the amount owed stays the same. And it would create more incentive for businesses to invest their cash rather than sit on it, because inflation would reduce the value of hoarded money."
Underwater mortgages can help the economy, write Glenn Hubbard and Chris Mayer: "We propose a new program through which the federal government would direct the public and quasi-public entities that guarantee mortgages -- Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, the Department of Veterans Affairs loan-guarantee program and the Federal Housing Administration -- to make it far easier and quicker for homeowners to refinance...The agencies would direct loan servicers -- the middlemen who monitor and report loan payments -- to send a short application to all eligible borrowers promising to allow them to refinance with minimal paperwork. Servicers would receive a fixed fee for each mortgage they refinanced, which would be rolled into the mortgage to eliminate costs to taxpayers."
Paul Krugman critiques the growing populism of the rich: "These days, however, tax-cutters are hardly even trying to make the trickle-down case. Yes, Republicans are pushing the line that raising taxes at the top would hurt small businesses, but their hearts don't really seem in it. Instead, it has become common to hear vehement denials that people making $400,000 or $500,000 a year are rich. I mean, look at the expenses of people in that income class -- the property taxes they have to pay on their expensive houses, the cost of sending their kids to elite private schools, and so on. Why, they can barely make ends meet."
Great moments in cycling interlude: Drum-accompanied bike tricks.
DC's bag tax has proven effective, report Sara Murray and Sudeep Reddy: "The city doesn't have a precise way to measure the bag tax's impact. Prior to the law, residents used an estimated 270 million disposable bags a year, according to the city's chief financial officer; the city estimated that would decline by 50% in the first year after the tax was imposed...Through the end of July, the city collected more than $1.1 million from the bag fee and small donations. At that rate, receipts are likely to fall short of the expected $3.6 million in the first year. Some city officials say that suggests more people than expected are bringing their own bags to stores."
California's progress on climate change faces a threat on the November ballot, reports Peter Henderson: "California is the clear U.S. leader on addressing climate change, unless California voters kill a landmark 2006 state law known as AB32, which was intended to cut carbon dioxide emission to 1990 levels by 2020. On Nov. 2 Californians will vote on Proposition 23, which would put AB32 on hold. The law would go back into effect when unemployment, now more than 12 percent, has remained at or below 5.5 percent for four quarters, which is not expected to happen for years."
Adorable animals being masseuses interlude: One cat gives another cat a massage.
A bill improving food safety is still stalling in the Senate, reports Gardiner Harris: "Cries of alarm about the legislation have arisen from some small farmers and their advocates, who have argued that the new regulations would be too costly and that F.D.A. inspectors would come barging into their homes. Linn Cohen-Cole, a small-farm advocate from Atlanta, calls the bill 'a fascist takeover of the entire food supply.' The bill's sponsors in the Senate agreed to allow some exemptions for small farms and facilities, but those provisions are not forceful enough for Senator Jon Tester, Democrat of Montana.'"
The FDA will not require genetically modified salmon to be labelled, reports Lyndsey Layton: "The labeling question has emerged as the FDA determines whether to approve the fish, an Atlantic salmon known as AquAdvantage that grows twice as fast as its natural counterpart. The decision carries great weight because, while genetically modified agriculture has been permitted for years and engineered crops are widely used in processed foods, this would be the first modified animal allowed for human consumption in the United States.The AquAdvantage salmon has been given a gene from the ocean pout, an eel-like fish, and a growth hormone from a Chinook salmon."
A "college for all" philosophy is leaving students untrained for the workforce, writes Ilana Garon: "It has spawned a steep decline of "shop" and vocational programs at the high school level, which should ideally be the training ground for work in twenty-first-century industries. In 1990, 58 percent of New York City high school students were enrolled in some sort of vocational class, whether in a designated Career and Technical Education (CTE) school or a standard high school offering 'CTE pathways'; by 2007, that number had shrunk to 38 percent, with many of the vocational high schools underperforming in key achievement measures."
Today's standardized tests can't measure students' education, writes Susan Engel: "We should come up with assessments that truly measure the qualities of well-educated children: the ability to understand what they read; an interest in using books to gain knowledge; the capacity to know when a problem calls for mathematics and quantification; the agility to move from concrete examples to abstract principles and back again; the ability to think about a situation in several different ways; and a dynamic working knowledge of the society in which they live...In recent years, psychologists have found ways to measure things as subtle as the forces that govern our moral choices and the thought processes that underlie unconscious stereotyping."

Internet Deep-Dive
The World Wide Web just turned 30, and people on Twitter are sharing their most hilarious early-internet memories

Nope, that's not dial-up you hear—it's the sound of the World Wide Web turning 30. It's a nostalgic day for anyone who grew up during the early, innocent days of the internet. So much has changed in the three decades since 1989, when Tim Berners-Lee debuted the virtual highway that would change the world forever. Gone are the days of dial-up (not being able to use the internet while our parents were on the phone has since become a myth). And of course, AOL has become the webpage of our grandparents—despite being the hub of all our teen angst.
Before we get into Twitter's trip down memory lane about all of this, let's take a moment to revisit some of the highlights of those early days…
That sweet, painful sound of dial-up.
If you listen closely, you can almost hear the sound of someone screaming, "Get off the phone, mom!"
Making one wrong move and dying of dysentery on the Oregon Trail
Going all in and "designing" the loudest and proudest GeoCities pages.
A download could take anywhere from 20 minutes to a few thousand years.
And the pain of having to start over if the connection cut out.
Channeling all the teen angst into the perfect away message on AOL Instant Messenger.
As the web turns 30, brands and fans all over Twitter are celebrating the milestone.

The loss of my beloved grandmother is one of the most life-changing event in my life.I always think of my grandmother more in December, her birthday month. I have heard that my grandfather was a man of dignified character. Sadly, he passed away before my birth and I did not have the privilege to personally know him. My grandparents had built a family legacy together on a solid foundation of traditions, morality and ethics . Thus, my family clan was able to stay firmly grounded and intact through thick and thin of life. My grandmother was our family matriarch and a grand dame. She made many personal sacrifices during the hard times and kept the family intact through the dark times. She was a steel-willed, intelligent, revolutionary woman who was ahead of her time and was without a doubt one of the original feminist. I miss her dearly.
I remember visiting her almost daily while she was in the hospital and then afterward at the nursing home during her final months. Her illness gave me a reality check about the fragility of life, the essentiality of compassion, and the importance of living life meaningfully.
It all happened quickly. In a span of a few months, after she was diagnosed, my grandmother was gone. She received the best possible care until the very end. She never had to suffer. She was constantly surrounded by her loved ones. All her personal sacrifices on behalf of the family was not lost upon her love ones. She was much loved and respected by the clan. I knew that the end was fated. Nevertheless, one is never truly prepared for a loss of a love one. Human being are such fragile creatures. Life is so capricious and unpredictable.
I regretted that I could not make it in time to the hospital to be by her side in her final moments. I arrived about 15 minutes too late. I felt her presence in the room when I said my farewells. She visited me in my dreams, never spoke a word, but I felt her love. I know she will always love me.
I have never really visited a nursing home, until my grandmother became gravely ill and needed 24 hours care. My grandmother was very fortunate to have been in such great nursing home with full amenities and a professional staff. My uncle was her personal physician until the very end and oversaw her every need. She could not have been under better care. I have a large loving family and my grandmother always had visitors and never had to feel alone. All the love and sacrifices she made was neither in vain nor lost her love ones. She was much more lucky than the other residents at the nursing home. I remember passing the other rooms as I came to hers and seeing the other residents in their rooms. I felt sad when I see the loneliness and despair in their eyes. Whenever possible, I would make efforts to say "hello" and briefly chat with them so they would not feel forgotten nor alone. Toward the end of life, the loss of physical capabilities to live independently and the wait for the inevitable is a cruel existence, unless there is faith to guide one toward inner peace and acceptance and easing the anxiety of what is to come.
All the struggles to get ahead, to achieve material things are meaningless in the end. The value of a person is not measured by materialistic gains or haves. I see people often blinded to the fated end and continue to misplace their values and waste their limited lifetime. Mistakenly, people cheapen their self-worth by appraising themselves by their materialistic achievements, rather than measuring their self-worth based on humanitarian and spiritual achievements.
I was one of the first people to arrive at the mortuary for my grandmother's funeral. The setup was not yet completed. It was strange to see my grandmother fully dressed in her finest, lifeless, and laying on a stainless-steel wheeled table. It was both shocking and odd to see her lay there as-if asleep and not yet was placed into the coffin for viewing. Physically, that was all that remained. I really felt the truth of "you can't take it with you." No matter the wealth and riches, in the end, all material things are non-essential and irrelevant. Many people fondly remembered my grandmother and came to pay their final respects. Her funeral was beautiful and dignified and reflective of my grandmother as she was. Ultimately, my grandmother was remembered for her character, her kindness, and her love for others. It made me see that only thing that really matter is leaving behind a legacy of sincere love and kindness to others.
My grandmother was buried that afternoon. I remembered the prayers that was read during the ceremony. I prayed for her soul to be free, to move onward and forward onto a new existence. The prayers had much poignance. It spoke to the newly deceased about the need of letting-go of the past, the attachments, and encouraged the deceased to move forward with wisdom and compassion. One of the wording in the prayer really stuck with me. The prayer addressed the soul as the "essence of a being," since the soul was no longer defined by the confine of the physical form. It made me think about the essence of myself...who is the real me?
No one is immune to aging, disease, or death. The nature of time is to not be on our side. Yet, we often let ourselves be easily distracted by trivial matters and forget to appreciate and experience aliveness. We take for granted our gift of life. We forget to use the human experience wisely during the period when we still have the physical and mental faculty to learn, practice, evolve into an intrinsically virtuous being. Why should we not aim lofty to unlock the full potential within then venture into the world to make a positive impact on others. I believe we have an obligation to pull one another from the quicksand of self-imposed boundaries and make-better each life we encounter. There is nothing random in life. We will eventually pick the fruits from the seeds that we planted.

HOYLAKE, England — Golf has been looking for the next big star the last five years, and Rory McIlroy is the most obvious candidate.
With his name on the claret jug and his Irish eyes now focused on a green jacket, McIlroy took a big step toward the career Grand Slam with four dominant days at Royal Liverpool. He looks unbeatable at times like this. Boy Wonder has it all — skill, strength, shot-making. Throw in a great week with the putter and it's not a fair fight.
But being the next big star is not the same as being the next Tiger Woods.
Or even another Jack Nicklaus.
Nicklaus and Woods are defined by the majors, so it's natural for the 25-year-old McIlroy to be linked with them after his two-shot victory in the British Open. Nicklaus and Woods were the only players younger than McIlroy to win three legs of the Grand Slam.
Nicklaus had the U.S. Open, Masters and PGA Championship when he was 23. He had been a pro for two years. Woods had the Masters, PGA Championship and U.S. Open when he was 24 and in his fourth full year as a pro. Woods added the career slam a month later.
McIlroy had a head start. He turned pro when he was 18. This is his seventh year playing the majors.
More than the majors, however, is a body of work that keeps Woods in a different league. At least for now.
"We used to say there will never be another Nicklaus, and then along came Tiger," Phil Mickelson said. "You never want to discount the possibility of someone coming along and dominating. But nobody has really asserted themselves week in and week out the way Tiger did for such a long period of time. We'll have great performances, like Rory this week, like (Martin) Kaymer at the U.S. Open and so forth.
"But it's very hard to do that week in and week out the way Tiger did," he said. "That's why it was so impressive what he did."
Woods had a dip in his game when he overhauled his swing toward the end of his first full season on tour. Once he sorted that out, he won seven out of 11 majors. More than just majors, however, he won 28 tournaments worldwide in a three-year span.
McIlroy, who now has 13 wins worldwide, has been prone to inconsistent play. He missed four cuts in a five-tournament stretch in the summer of 2012 before going on a tear by winning the PGA Championship, consecutive FedEx Cup playoff events and the money title on both sides of the Atlantic.
He went to No. 1 in the world and looked as if he would stay there for a generation.
But he didn't win last year until late November in Australia. Blame that on a combination of signing a new equipment deal, getting into bad habits with his swing and changing management for the second time, this one leading to a legal dispute that still has to be worked out in court.
Off the course, he got engaged to tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and then surprised everyone five months later by breaking the engagement over the phone.
Never a dull moment with McIlroy.
As great as he looked at Hoylake, even more intriguing is where McIlroy goes from here. With so much emphasis on the Masters and a shot at the Grand Slam, McIlroy had to remind himself there is one major still to play before then. The PGA Championship at Valhalla is three weeks away.
He is still No. 2 in the world behind Adam Scott, who has the consistency McIlroy needs, but not a reliable putter. It seems to be only a matter of time before McIlroy gets to the top and tries to stay there a little longer.
Even if he's not the next Tiger, he can be the next dominant player.
"Some of the guys will have heard me say that golf is looking to someone to put their hand up and try, and I said at that time I want to be that person," McIlroy said. "I want to be the guy that goes on and wins majors, and wins majors regularly, wins tournaments. I'd love to be in that position. And I've had chances before to kick on from there. I did after my second major at Kiawah. I kicked on for another six months and played really well.
"I just want to think ahead and go forward ... because I feel like there's a lot more left in me."
The closer McIlroy gets to being that top player, the more appreciation there is for the dominance Woods enjoyed for so many years. Graeme McDowell is among those who don't expect to see anything like that in his career, if ever.
And this is a guy who has been raving about McIlroy since Boy Wonder was still a boy.
"Someone like Rory or Adam maybe could do it. They're that good," McDowell said. "But so is everyone else, unfortunately. So that type of dominance, I don't think we're going to see that again for a while unless somebody comes out who has perfected the imperfectable."
Is Rory golf's next big star? Possibly.
Another dominant player like Woods?
"I don't see it happening," McDowell said. "Could prove me wrong."


You might think you love the snow. But there's no way you love it as much as Nora, the Oregon Zoo's polar bear cub, or the zoo's river otters.
In this video, taken Thursday by the zoo's videographer, these furry critters revel in the snow day. Nora looks right at home in the snow as she wrestles with a stick, a blanket and a variety of other toys in her her enclosure. The river otters, slightly more grown up, roll around in the snow and use it to assist in a seal impression.
The whole video is adorable, but you're going to want to stay tuned until the end, when Nora does what might go down in history as world's cutest recreation of the climax of "Scarface."
The 1-year-old cub looked right at home in the winter conditions.


It was exactly one year after. The suffocation had started. Memories rushing in, jostling for space. I needed time out. Needed to go somewhere which was uncharted, far from everything I had known. I needed to go far from the Madding Crowd.
A friend had magnanimously offered her beautiful and quaint homestay in Chel Chitong. This is near Gorumara, in a place called Paparkheti.
I decided to pack my bags and leave. I have been travelling quite extensively (extensively for my humble soul, anyway) for the last one year. Something was driving me away from the city, from the known memories, from the life I was living here. Trying to get over the betrayal from so-called friends, of women bringing women down, being portrayed as a typical Bollywood vamp… I was trying to get over a lot of hurt and lick my wounds in private. I needed to go somewhere and gather myself; I was tired of putting up a brave front.
Me with the kids, though Kriti no longer a kid – rather has become a confidante, and Shraboni – my friend turned sis, boarded a train that took us to New Mal Junction. We were met there and started our journey towards Chel Chitong. The serene mountain air, the pines, rhododendrons and the sharp bends were most exhilarating.
We reached Chel in an hour. The homestay is almost in a private gorge. Walking down steep stone curved stairs, we could hear streams gurgling forth. The two rooms currently available are straight out of a fairy tale book. Windows opening up to endless green, colourful and twinkling bamboo lights gently swaying in the wind, tiny fireplaces! Table laden with simple yet delicious food, laid out in the open… under the sparkling blue sky that became overladen with grey clouds when the mountains were sad.
I sat under a tall pine tree and read bo oks. A small waterbody, where Boogie and Homy threw stones to create ripples, the crickets and birds keeping me company. And when the wind blew… the dried leaves made a strange rustling noise… dead leaves being blown away like doing away with all that is redundant, all that is inessential.
We would walk to the private waterfall every day. A narrow, up-hill-down-hill trek leading to the waterfall.
Clear, cold, bubbling water that, perhaps, could mirror your soul. We would lie down on a carpet under a small shed and listen to the sound of the water. Eternal and elemental. Far above, trucks like the ones Boogie played with when he was little, would move by a winding road. Time would pass slowly. Kriti would hum to herself, Boogie and Homy would bring bouquets of unknown small flowers for us. I would lie there with my eyes closed, rewinding life, and then open them to see that the world hasn't changed. It's only me, who's trying to come to terms with the changed times.
Darkness in hills come down suddenly, like a blanket thrown on you. We would light a fire and toast our cold feet or we would have bonfires. Under the clear, starry, inky black sky, we would tell each other ghost stories; every small sound here and there would be like someone walking over a grave!
I have been to places, and I will be going to other places. Chel offered a balm to my soul. It's that gem that is tucked away in your heart, the memories remaining precious forever. The time spent would be like an album, of which I will keep turning the pages.
I will go back to Chel every now and then – to be at peace with myself when the burden of the world becomes a little too much. I will go back to Chel whenever I can. Because I found myself at Chel. Because you find yourself at Chel.
Thanks to Brinda Sirkar, Shraboni Bose and Purba Ray Chaudhuri. Couldn't have made this trip without you.

Championship leader Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) won the opening encounter at the Sepang International Circuit after a race of two halves, which saw Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) slip to fifth at the flag after leading for the first eleven laps. The Ulsterman had a race-long battle with Davies that eventually came down at the last turn, when despite running wide the KRT rider was able to get on the gas early to retake the lead before the chequered flag.
Rea's twelfth race win of the season puts the Briton in a prominent position to clinch the title in Race 2 later on today; he would do so by gaining a further 11-point advantage to Sykes and, at the same time, by finishing ahead of Davies.
Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing Team) claimed a historic 71st podium finish in third, the Italian extending his own record of being the oldest rider to ever stand on a WorldSBK podium.
Sylvain Guintoli claimed a season best fourth, after his Pata Honda appeared to be kinder to its tyres while Poleman Sykes dropped to fifth after setting a blistering pace that saw him shatter the lap record in the early stages.
Alex Lowes was sixth aboard the Voltcom Crescent Suzuki ahead of Leon Haslam (Aprilia Racing Team), Althea Racing pairing Matteo Baiocco and Niccolo Canepa, and Jordi Torres (Aprilia Racing Team) who dropped from what looked like a safe fourth to tenth in the final few laps.
David Salom (Team Pedercini), Randy de Puniet (Voltcom Crescent Suzuki), Leon Camier (MV Agusta Reparto Corse), Roman Ramos (Team Go Eleven) and Leandro Mercado (Barni Racing) completed the point scorers. Michael van der Mark retired his Pata Honda after running inside the top ten.
Race 2 will start at 4.30pm local time and run once again over a duration of 16 laps at the 5.543km Sepang International Circuit.

Q: when clicking the submit button twice the path to the methos is changed I have a form that is something like this:
   <form class="float_left" method="post" action="Home/Start">
   ....
   <input type="submit" value="start"/>
   </form>

When I click on the submit button I will land in the HomeController.Start() method, that performs some things and then it calls again the View (the view is Index.cshtml). Something like this:
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Start(ModelClass model)
    {
        //here I do things

        return View("Index", model);
    }

The first time I click the button everything goes like I expect, but if I click again the button, it will try to reach Home/Home/Start instead of Home/Start. Any idea ? Thanks

A: When formatted like you have it ("Home/Start") it is relative to the current page, so it can change the URL depending on where you are.
Instead you should use Url.Action like so:
<form class="float_left" method="post" action="@Url.Action("Start", "Home")">

This will create an absolute URL, which will always work the same, regardless of what the current URL is.
There are also other HtmlHelpers that you should check out. This blog post by Michael Kennedy is an excellent tutorial.

Nanoxidil is a molecule that has been specifically developed to, compared with the well known Minoxidil, increase the effectiveness against hair loss and to minimize the occurrence of side effects. Nanoxidil is available in the lotion Spectral.DNC-N by DS Laboratories. This formula contains various other ingredients which promote the health of the scalp and can have an effect on the hair growth.
One can expect far fewer side effects from using Nanoxidil compared to Minoxidil. For people who experience side effects with Minoxidil, switching to Nanoxidil is worth considering.
The formula of Spectral.DNC-N contains a concentration of 5% Nanoxidil and a number of other ingredients, including Aminexil, Adenosine, procyanidin B-2 and copper peptides. Spectral.DNC-N also contains nanosomes which allow the scalp and hair follicles to absorb the lotion as effectively as possible.

Q: system_thread_exception not handled in windows I always hear about the system_thread_exception not being handled in Windows OS -
what is the essence of this problem, and how can we avoid it? Also, why is this problem Windows-specific?

A: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED is the bug check 0x7e:

The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug check has a value of 0x0000007E. This bug check indicates that a system thread generated an exception that the error handler did not catch.
...
Cause
The SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug check is a very common bug check. To interpret it, you must identify which exception was generated.
Common exception codes include the following:

*

*0x80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT indicates an unaligned data reference was encountered.

*0x80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT indicates a breakpoint or ASSERT was encountered when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.

*0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation occurred.

To avoid this, read about Handling Exceptions for how driver developers should write code that properly handles exceptions. Is it Windows specific since we're talking about windows drivers development and kernel BSOD codes.

A: Had the same error and tried various drivers for the WiFi card on my Laptop. Nothing worked and I kept getting the blue screen until I bought a new WiFi module card from Intel (Atheros Qualcom was originally installed).
And after that no more blue screens


Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is very prevalent and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Even mild TBI, also known as concussion, can have long-term sequelae. Anesthesia providers will often be faced with the management of these patients, and the primary goals of care are patient resuscitation and avoidance of secondary neurologic injury. The 2016 Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines for the management of severe traumatic brain injury represent an effort to improve outcomes in this patient population through the implementation of evidence-based practices and standardized care encompassing multiple aspects of treatment, monitoring, and hemodynamic thresholds. The perioperative period is a critical time for optimizing outcomes and decreasing mortality in TBI patients. Anesthesia providers play a vital role in the care of this vulnerable population.


Peter Shulman, an associate history professor at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio, was lecturing on the reemergence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s when a student asked an odd question: Was President Warren Harding a member of the KKK?
Back to Shulman and his students. The result Google was quoting came from an article in Trent Online, a site that bills itself as a "leading Internet Newspaper in Nigeria," titled "REVEALED: 5 US Presidents Members Of Racist Cult Ku Klux Klan (PHOTOS)." On closer inspection, the Trent Online article notes that this piece originally appeared on a site called iloveblackpeople.net. The article says that William McKinley, Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Harry Truman were members of the KKK. The only sources cited are the Christian nationalist pseudo-historian David Barton and KKK.org.
According to the Harding Home, a museum in Harding's former residence, the allegation that he was a Klansman was a lie concocted by the KKK and denied by Harding. Biographers of Harding and his wife found no evidence that he was a member. Similarly, there is no reason to believe that William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, or Woodrow Wilson were members, Shulman said. (It should be noted that Wilson was still a notorious racist.) There is evidence that Harry Truman, who was also a horrible racist, met with Klansmen — but if he was a member, he wasn't a very active one, Shulman said, and he later opposed the Klan and allied with its enemies.
So how did this fiction manage to get the spot reserved for Google's one true answer?
Many of Google's direct answers are correct. Ask Google if vaccines cause autism, and it will tell you they do not. Ask it if jet fuel melts steel beams, and it will pull an answer from a Popular Mechanics article debunking the famous 9/11 conspiracy theory. But it's easy to find examples of Google grabbing quick answers from shady places.
Would you trust an answer pulled from the anti-vaccine alternative health content farm Mercola.com?
How about an answer from the Facebook page of a white nationalist group in Australia?
Would you trust a system that falls for a Monty Python joke?
What about a system that thinks Barack Obama is the current king of America — first because of an answer sourced from a Breitbart article, and now because of an article criticizing that answer?
What about a system that thinks Obama is planning a coup d'etat?
Would you trust a system designed to give one true answer to the query, "how to get a date"?
I mean, this isn't terrible advice. But why does Google even want to deliver a single answer to such a subjective question?
Google doesn't always get tripped up like this. Many of its answers, like the date of Mother's Day, come from what Google calls its Knowledge Graph, a database of hard facts sourced from places like Wikipedia and CIA World Factbook. Google started implementing these in 2012, and they're very reliable.
Google added featured snippets sometime in 2014, and it's not like the company doesn't know about this problem. In 2015, users discovered that the query "What happened to the dinosaurs?" produced the quick answer "Dinosaurs are used more than anything else to indoctrinate children and adults in the idea of millions of years of earth history," pulled from a fundamentalist Christian page titled "What Really Happened to the Dinosaurs?" Google didn't comment, but the featured snippet changed to a quote from the University of Illinois Extension.
Google intervened manually after the Guardian piece. "Are women evil?" now pulls up the regular list of search results with no featured snippet.
Google has an excellent reputation, and it's well-deserved. Mammoth forces of spammers, scammers, and other bad actors are constantly trying to manipulate Google's search rankings, and yet they remain incredibly useful for users. Yet the company seems willing to take hits to its reputation while also promoting conspiracy theories, bigotry, and misinformation. Why?
For one thing, people really like this style of search. "It's having a very good impact on the search results. People love them," said Eric Enge, CEO of Stone Temple Consulting, a digital marketing agency that has done three deep-dive studies on featured snippets. In one of his company's surveys, people said the feature they wanted most was the ability to "answer directly without having to visit another website or another app." These quick answers are great when they're accurate, especially if you're on a mobile device, and they often are accurate — or at least accurate enough to satisfy the searcher.
Focusing on direct answers is also a longer-term play. The number of browser-less internet-connected devices is growing fast, and already voice-activated assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home are penetrating the market. Google's traditional list of search results does not translate well to voice — imagine Google Home reading you a list of 10 websites when you just want to know how many calories are in an orange.
The fastest way for Google to improve its featured snippets is to release them into the real world and have users interact with them. Every featured snippet comes with two links in the footnote: "About this result," and "Feedback." The former explains what featured snippets are, with guidelines for webmasters on how to opt out of them or optimize for them. The latter simply asks, "What do you think?" with the option to respond with "This is helpful," "Something is missing," "Something is wrong," or "This isn't useful," and a section for comments.
Google uses this feedback form and other algorithmic signals from users to continuously improve and refine featured snippets. Snippets change a lot, Enge said — webmasters will optimize for a query, score a featured snippet, and then lose it days later. The system appears to work at least part of the time: On February 24, the query "MSG FDA" — my attempt to find the agency's guidelines on MSG as part of fact-checking for this story — turned up a featured snippet from the MSG conspiracy theory website truthinlabeling.org. Within five days, that featured snippet had disappeared.
Again, featured snippets are often incredibly useful, especially when you need to be hands-free.
Google has recently taken heat for its suggested queries, the autocompleted phrases that pop up when you start typing a question. However, those seem much less damaging than the promotion of bad information that is presented as Google's one true answer. As Google attempts to combat the proliferation of fake news by banning publishers from its ad platform, it continues to disseminate fake news itself through featured snippets. Fake news typically comes from hastily built content farms. In this case, it's coming from Google, which surveys show is trusted by around 63 percent of people, more than both social media and traditional media.
"The whole experience was quite shocking," Shulman said. "The good news is this episode turned into a teaching opportunity for my class." Increased information literacy among users seems to be the best solution, as Google doesn't seem to see this as a priority for now.

* After going just 28-60 over the previous five seasons against the Reds, the Cubs are 9-4 in the 2015 season series. Six of the last seven meetings have been decided by one run.
* By going 2-14 since August 14, the Reds have fallen to 7-21 for the month overall. It's Cincinnati's highest loss total in any calendar month since going 9-21 in May 2007. The Reds haven't lost 22 times in any month since a 6-22 performance in May 2001.
* The Cubs snapped a four-game losing streak in a memorable way when Jake Arrieta tossed the Cubs' first no-hitter since Carlos Zambrano in 2008. It was the 14th no-hitter in franchise history as well as the team's ninth since 1900.
* Michael Lorenzen on Monday is expected to make his first start since getting demoted to the minor leagues in mid-August. Prior to then, Lorenzen had gone 0-6 over seven starts since the beginning of July, when he allowed a .333 batting average while compiling a 9.82 ERA.
* Kyle Hendricks has compiled a 6.75 ERA over two career starts against the Reds in Cincinnati, compared to a mark of 1.50 versus the Reds over two outings at Wrigley Field. Hendricks struck out 11 while walking no one over those two home starts.
* Dexter Fowler had three hits on Sunday to raise his batting average to .293 in August. After batting just .189 in May, Fowler has improved to .240 in June, .275 in July and .293 in August. Fowler's 29 hits in August are tied for the highest monthly mark of his career.

Sound Design: Complicatedly Simple
May 25, 2016 June 30, 2016 Porter	Aaron Porter, album art, album covers, album design, bg, bg blues and music news, blur, fall out boy, sound design, stealing sheep, wale
"The more albums there are over time the harder it will be for the albums to stand out." That's one way of looking at it. The other is that as time passes, so do visual tastes. (That's why we don't have a huge demand for Saturday Evening Post-esque images anymore.) It drives artists and clients to push the boundaries of what is album artwork, from the classic to the strange, from the futuristic to retro…
Wale: The Album About Nothing – Just because a design is a bit appalling or erratic doesn't mean that it's bad design. Nor does a safe design guarantee good album artwork. It seems an odd coupling, Wale (Pronounced Wall-eh) and Seinfeld, but there have been odder. "The Intro About Nothing," much like the show, was anything but, and perhaps that's what makes Wale's album so interesting. While it wasn't universal, what happened on Seinfeld was a Shakespearian take on modern life. Considering that, like the blues, rap tells the tale of life from a perspective that is often misunderstood but similarly Shakespearian.
[pullquote]Notice how the heaviness of Wale's wardrobe almost immediately draws your attention. Since we read right to left Seinfeld comes next then the album title.[/pullquote]
Seinfeld's interjections are a little odd, and without the context the Wale gives it, from a fan perspective Jerry Seinfeld's role as narrator comes across as kitschy or cliché. Normally we wouldn't go into the album's music or the process involved in it, but in this case the design of the album is a direct reflection of the music (an uncommon styling).
[pullquote]Not only does the lighter background help the hierarchy but it would allow the artist to bring attention to the most important graffiti.[/pullquote]
The Album About Nothing is intriguing, and the two different covers evoke different thoughts. The first image struggles to convey its roots with a background that is a bit to busy to include both Wale and Seinfeld, not to mention his name and the title of the album. It's very close to having a strong composition but each element is fighting for attention. It's an interesting cover that with a few simple changes might have been fantastic. Softening or blurring the background graffiti would have allowed both the name and men to stand out as #1 and #2 in the hierarchy, as they should.
The second sample of the album artwork has an entirely different look. There is a clear hierarchy here: Normally color in a black and white environment would be the first thing you notice, but because of the deep contrast and the composition of the layout, Wale the man, not the name, is the most powerful element of the piece. Notice how the table perspective leads your eye to Wale on one side and to the horizontal line on the other, which, because the seat is empty, leads you back to Wale. That horizontal line also keeps you from noticing the color first. It's like a wall that you can't get past unless you try.
The strategic placement of the condiments and cup also keeps your eye coming back to Wale. The name of the album brings you to the condiments, which create a hard vertical line that pushes you to him and, conversely, because the seat is empty again, we are drawn to Wale. One empty seat can do and imply so much. Of the two covers the second is so much more powerful, and, as album art goes, more thought-out. Bonus: Wale and Jerry together. Nice!
Blur: The Magic Whip – So, Blur's album cover is a little odd to be sure–and it's a bit different than we normally tackle–but it is nonetheless a very cool cover. First, you have some very simple lines that all connect, keeping your eye moving through the design.
Actually, make that second. First is that Blur's artist decided to take a route that many bands wouldn't have the guts to try: no photo of themselves. And unless you can read Chinese, I doubt you'd know what it says. It makes it, for our purposes, ambiguous. (It literally says BLUR: MAGIC WHIP.) Ice cream is universal; not knowing what an image is or about is sometimes more intriguing than any amount of direct advertising. Okay, back to the lines! Simple and familiar shapes despite the contents will always help designs. Here we have a "Z" rotated, causing our eyes to move in a patt ern that we've known since we were kids.
To outside observers we must look insane. We need the familiar to stay grounded but we crave the unique, strange, and mysterious. Even as adults we retain our curiosity; it's just tempered with sensibility. (I think.) Speaking of the familiar…
Stealing Sheep: Not Real – Not Real uses bright vivid colors to move your eye all over the design but in ways that make sense. [pullquote]How many people are in this photo? What angle did they shoot it at?! SO MANY LEGS! [/pullquote]The placement of the limbs makes sense in the way it connects and imitates the title itself. The green sleeve mimics the stems of the N and R but also frames the title with the help of crooks in the wrist and shoulder. Similarly the pink leg connects the end of "NOT" to the start of "REAL," the ankle bending at the T to follow the cross bar, while the knee lands squarely in the bowl of the "R."
The thing that really brings the design together is the familiarity of human anatomy. If they were just colors and shapes the design wouldn't be nearly as successful. This is a fantastic example of a design that keeps you looking and finding something new and interesting with each viewing.
Fall Out Boy: American Beauty/American Psycho – I have no doubt there's a story behind the title, but frankly, the artistic value of this cover is lessened by almost every element. First, the name and title of the album is about the furthest from maximum effort that you could be. What is that, Copperplate? Seriously? That is, however, the least of my beefs. I admit to feeling quite strongly about the face paint. Is that supposed to evoke some sort of visceral reaction? Like, "Oh no, he's a nice white kid with dark inner demons!"
[pullquote]If you feel like you really need the title and band name on there, try something a little more interesting. There's something to be said for clean and classic, but there's a line between that and lazy and boring. [/pullquote]One thing my mentor taught me was that beating people over the head with a hammer was wrong. (Not literally, you goon.) The photograph by itself would have been infinitely more powerful. Its composition is fantastic, with leading lines that take you exactly where you need to go. We all have darkness that resides within us; seeing him without the face paint would have given us something that we are all more accustomed to: looking in the mirror and wondering about the person looking back at us. The kid's face says it all; it's a look we are all to familiar with. [pullquote]With even the quickest fix to the face (yes I know it looks plastic; it's not the original photo! you can see that the image by itself is striking and tells so much more than the face paint.
[/pullquote] Yes, a little dark and deep, but from the title of the album, I assume it's supposed to be. The face paint is nothing but distracting; in many ways you stop seeing the photo at all. There is only the face paint! All hail the face paint! Wait, where was I? Oh yes: You did wrong Fall Out Boy, which wouldn't be the first time. I've listened to a few of your albums.

Besides her husband, Anna was predeceased by two brothers, John and Peter Maruk and two sisters, Helen Polidoro and Mary Stomsky. She was also predeceased by her nephews William "Billy" Polidoro and Peter Maruk Jr. A special thanks to Billy's wife, Rosemarie Polidoro, for her continued help and support in the care of Anna for all these many years.
The family would like to thank the many caregivers at Wingate, previously known as Melbourne Place, and the staff at Berkshire Place for their excellent care and kindness shown to Auntie Anna.
SERVICES: Funeral services for Anna will be held Monday, July 9th at 12 O'clock at the Devanny-Condron Funeral Home with Rev.

Data Literacy Module 6: Data Security and Digital Rights
Published by: Open Development Thailand
Data literacy is the ability to read, understand, work with, analyze, and argue with data. It is also the ability to derive meaningful information from data. Data literacy is not simply the ability to read text since it requires quantitative and analytical skills (for example: mathematical and statistical) involving reading and understanding data. Hence, with increased data literacy, one will be able to produce more insightful and evidence-based stories.
This program has been localized to meet the local context of Thailand. EWMI-ODI and training team would like to express gratitude to the original program of World Bank's Data Literacy Program, and advisors who supported the curriculum improvement for Thailand.
Working with data in the digital age raises concerns about the privacy and rights of data owners. Key online security practices will be recommended when using technologies, including smart phones, computers, datasets, and the Internet in their daily activities. Participants will learn about threat modeling, risk assessment, and how to ensure data security.

The Myanmar version of the manual was localized by Yan Naung Oak and Phandeeyar, with support from United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO),Australian Aid, Ministry of Foriegn Affairs of Denmark, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland. The Cambodia version of the manual was localized by Yan Oak and Open Development Cambodia, with support from USAID's Cambodia Civil Society Strengthening Project. Additional modules and materials for this version were included to provide greater context to differing thematic issues and needs within the Mekong, including Indigenous Data Sovereignty and applications such as MAPEO with the support of Digital Democracy, developed by Saowalak Jingjunvisut and Open Development Mekong, with support from Voices for Mekong Forests Project and other donors.The materials are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Retiring Chancellor Ed Lumley is moved by a portrait unveiled Monday by Board of Governors chair William Willis.
Service earns honour for outgoing Chancellor
Ed Lumley, who retires as Chancellor of the University of Windsor today — May 28 — has been granted the title Chancellor Emeritus in honour of his exemplary service to the institution and community.
The University's Board of Governors bestowed the title on the outgoing Chancellor during a dinner Monday night to mark the end of his tenure.
"During his 13 years as Chancellor, Ed Lumley has exemplified the qualities of outstanding leadership, fulfilling his duties with honour and commitment to his home town and university," said board chair William Willis. "His support of students and his advocacy for the University have had an enormous impact, and we are honoured to recognize his continuing legacy."
As Chancellor, Lumley conferred nearly 55,000 degrees, representing 40 per cent of the University's 136,000 alumni.
Later today, Lumley will also receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree during the afternoon session of the University's 111th Convocation. The morning session will mark the installation of Chancellor Mary Jo Haddad. Convocation ceremonies continue through Friday.
Lumley was left "speechless" by the tributes.
"My business career had wrapped up, my political career had finished, and to end your career as chancellor of your alma mater in your hometown is an incredible honour," he said. "And for them to name me Chancellor Emeritus… I mean, it's too much for words."
During his time as Chancellor, Lumley has worked tirelessly to promote the University and has helped fundraise over $100 million in support of capital projects and scholarships. Of that total, $80 million came from federal and provincial government contributions for the Centre for Engineering Innovation.
On May 30, 2012, Lumley was also the focus of a benefit attended by former prime ministers, premiers, and federal and provincial cabinet ministers that helped raise $5.3 million for the centre. The $112-million building was the largest capital investment in campus history.
This world-class hub for innovation spans 300,000 square feet, and features the latest in classroom teaching technology, an Industrial Courtyard for collaborative work with the region, and 80 research labs. Lumley's unwavering support of the University resulted in the naming of the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation in 2013.
In fall 2014, Ron Joyce, chair of the Joyce Foundation, announced a $10-million gift in support of students at the University of Windsor in the form of a bursary to be named the Ed Lumley Bursary, in recognition of the Chancellor's commitment to the University and the Windsor-Essex community. Since 2015-16, 58 students have benefited from the bursary and each will qualify for as much as $32,000 in assistance during their four years of study.
Born and raised in Windsor, Lumley graduated in 1961 with a Bachelor of Commerce from Assumption University, the predecessor of the University of Windsor.
Prior to his appointment as Chancellor, Lumley had a distinguished record of achievement as an entrepreneur and mayor of Cornwall, Ontario, before serving 10 years as a Member of Parliament and holding several senior cabinet portfolios in the federal government. Those positions included Minister of Industry, of International Trade, and of Science and Technology. A successful corporate executive, Lumley served as vice-chair of BMO Nesbitt Burns for more than 25 years and was a member of a number of domestic and international corporate boards of directors. He has also been involved in numerous non-profit organizations.
In July 2014, Lumley was invested as a member of the Order of Canada, the country's highest honour for lifetime achievement.
