Q: Postgresql refusing TCP/IP connection after ubuntu restart This one has me baffled.
I rebooted my ubuntu server and now I try to connect with pgadmin and I get the following:
could not connect to server: Connection timed out (0x0000274C/10060)
Is the server running on host "<ip.address>" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

In my postgresql.conf file
listen_addresses = '*'

In my pg_hba.conf
# DO NOT DISABLE!
# If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the
# database superuser can access the database using some other method.
# Noninteractive access to all databases is required during automatic
# maintenance (custom daily cronjobs, replication, and similar tasks).

# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only

host    all     all     86.81.139.21/24         trust

I added the following line to the end
host    all     all     0.0.0.0/0       md5

Still can't connect
I've restarted postgresql after every change.
I can log in to postgresql via the command line via shh.
I'm out of ideas!

A: I think that the problem is not related with authorization (eg. pg_hba.conf) as your error suggest unreachable port. Try to point as much connection parameters as you can. Also try to connect using some simple tool like psql (with all connection parameters given, eg. -h localhost -U user -W -p 5432, etc.) This should give you some hint about what is going on and where to look futher.
Especially give him -h localhost, as it will otherwise use local unix socket insteed of TCP
EDIT: Are you sure, that this is good iptable rule:
-A INPUT -d 127.0.0.0/8 -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
I am no expert here, but try to temporary remove this entry and connect again. Same concern about: -A INPUT -j DROP
EDIT2: If nothing works, please dump all iptables by "iptables-save" insteed of "iptables -S". "iptables-save" dump all available tables (eg. filter, nat, etc.). More info in manual

A: Did you possibly remove it from /etc/services
You should have a line that looks like this
    postgresql      5432/tcp        postgres        # PostgreSQL Database

Irina Bolychevsky: Hello everybody, and today we are taking to Tony Arcieri, the creator of Cryptosphere. And Cryptosphere is an open-source peer-to-peer web application platform which makes it easy to build decentralized privacy-preserving software so that users can keep control of their own content. Hi Tony!
Tony Arcieri: Hi!
Irina: Great to have you here! Why don't you tell us a little more about yourself and what Cryptosphere is.
Tony: So I'm Tony Arcieri. I'm probably best known for a framework for concurrent and distributed computing I created called Celluloid, which is based on this thing called the actor model. So I basically created the [audio skips] because I was writing peer-to-peer software and I thought it was really hard. So in the past there have been some of these other frameworks, like Twisted for Python, EventMachine for Ruby, and probably the most famous of that sort was called node.js.
And I really struggled with them, trying to write this other peer-to-peer software about seven years ago; that software is called DistribuStream. So Cryptosphere is kind of my second attempt at building a peer-to-peer platform now that I've hopefully solved the problem of like, what framework do you even build the peer-to-peer software on top of.
Irina: Right, going through the process once. And what's motivated you to build a peer-to-peer program?
Tony: So, I'm definitely a big fan of privacy, and I think the way the web works right now, basically if you want to use any web application whatsoever you have to hand all your data over to them; you know, everything about you. So you wind up with your Googles, your Facebooks. You're giving them things that you may or may not want to be seen by the entire world, but the interest of say a Facebook is to make all that information as public as possible. So I really want to solve that problem generally. So I'm not trying to make a Diaspora competitor or anything like that, right? I want to build the framework that acts like a Diaspora should be built on top of.
Irina: Right, so you're more focusing on the underlying foundational structure upon which, ideally, the other people would build apps where the communication would be peer-to-peer, or is that. . . ?
Tony: Yeah, definitely. So I'm trying to build, basically, software that should make it easy for anybody to build a Diaspora type of software. And there are a bunch of other people working on these sort of apps, even just like web-based encryption apps. Cryptocat, the chat software [audio skips] and I think what the creators of this type of software are learning is that building secure software within the whole web environment right now is very, very hard. So I'm trying to not only create my own solutions, but put together existing solutions to a comprehensive package to where it should be easy for people to start writing these apps where everything is encrypted everywhere, and all the encryption happens on your local computer before anything is ever sent to the network.
Irina: Ok, so does that include metadata or is it just the content that's going to get encrypted?
Tony: So there are a bunch of places this does leak certain types of information. So one of the other things that Cryptosphere does is store data. And it's storing data on a peer-to-peer network where the peers are unreliable, basically, like you can't really trust anybody in a peer-to-peer network. So one of the things it has to do is make it easy, if peers drop out of the network, to repair the [audio skips]. I mean it adds redundancy but, you know, if some of the peers go away, it has to find new peers to pick up the slack.
So to do that it does leak a little bit of information. It leaks information about the general structure of your data. So I mean, there are various types of metadata that get leaked. Somebody doing deep packet analysis can potentially learn a lot about, basically the behavior of what it's doing. The idea is, beyond the things that are necessary for the network to even work, it tries to keep everything it can confidential.
Irina: Ok, and what stage are you in the project now?
Tony: It's still fairly early on. So one of the downsides of writing your own concurrency framework to build a project on top of is I spend a lot of time maintaining that. The upside is people are actually using that in the review world now, so there are a bunch of projects that are built on top of it, and I have a really good co-contributor on the project. He's basically trying to take over most of the day-to-day work on it, which should hopefully free me up to work on the Cryptosphere more.
Irina: Awesome. And what kind of things are being written on top of it now?
Tony: So the main thing is this job queue called Sidekiq that a lot of people are using, just to do background jobs. There's also a telephony framework that's built on top of it called Adhearsion that makes it easy to do — basically like, telephone calls have an automated telephone directory, that voice menu type of thing. So I mean, yeah, Celluloid's very general. The Cryptosphere is kind of honing down on that generality to be, hopefully immediately useful to HTML and JavaScript developers who want to build, basically apps that [audio skips] and their back end is a peer-to-peer grid.
Irina: So, sorry, could you explain a little bit more of this honing down and the difference between Celluloid that you mentioned?
Tony: So Celluloid itself doesn't really have a security model, so you can use it in what's called a trusted environment to build apps where basically every single node trusts each other. The problem with the peer-to-peer system is that doesn't work at all; basically you have to assume every single node in the entire network is a potential attacker. So the Cryptosphere is a very limited, much more secured version of Celluloid itself, to where basically there are all of these mechanisms in place that make sure greedy peers, malicious peers, etc. can't abuse the system.
Irina: And this extra security — is there a trade-off? What kind of implications does that have? What's the benefit?
Tony: So there are a few things. So the goal of the Cryptosphere is to put people back in control of their own data. So if you don't want Google or Facebook to store all your data, basically you either have to store that, which doesn't work really well, because probably people don't want to maintain their own servers, people are using laptops, their laptops go offline, etc., etc. So what the Cryptosphere does is try to have the peer-to-peer grid store all that data for you. And there are several other peer-to-peer systems that provide this sort of general storage service. Just off the top of my head the big ones are Freenet, GNUnet, and my personal favorite, which is this really obscure one called Tahoe-LAFS, by this guy Zooko.
Yeah, so those systems basically allow the peer-to-peer grid to store data. Some of the big unanswered questions with all these systems are things like accounting — basically, how do you make sure people contribute fairly to the network? Like if you're storing stuff on the network, you should in some way contribute back to the network, right? So you either need to basically turn your home computer into a storage server and contribute equally to the network in order to participate, or if you can't do that, you should be buying storage shares off of other people who are doing that.
Irina: Right. And so at the moment do you have of any of this kind of regulatory aspects in place?
Tony: No, they're all just plans.
Irina: They're all just plans?
Tony: Yeah, so I kind of want to do something somewhat similar to the Bitcoin blockchain. But instead of having one blockchain to rule them all, I want each peer to have their own individual blockchain, where basically they're doing an IOU system. So you find a peer, that peer is like, ok, I'll take your data; you effectively try to set up a lease with that peer, right? So both mutually sign off using digital signatures saying, this guy is going to offer me this storage service, and in exchange for that, if he asks me for storage service I will give it to him, and we'll basically do tit for tat — you store a megabyte of data for a day, I'll store a megabyte of data for a day for you.
Irina: Cool. And so, just to explain a little bit, so obviously the idea of having this way of self-regulation — correct me if I'm misunderstanding — is precisely so there's no central authority that's like saying, yes that's fine, no that's bad, you're not allowed in the network, yes you are; and that you want the system to regulate itself.
Tony: Yeah. So basically my goal is like, each peer decides its own destiny. So every peer tries to learn as much about the network as it can. So they try to model, basically, the entire structure of the Internet is the goal. So this has kind of been a big problem with peer-to-peer systems in the past, that every peer looks alike, which is definitely not the case with the Internet, right? Ideally you're collaborating with peers that are — I want to say geographically, but that isn't really what matters — but basically, you want people who are very few network hops from you, whom you have high bandwidth links with. So there have been a lot of various attempts in peer-to-peer systems to optimize this stuff in the past.
The main thing I can think of is this protocol called P4P, which would basically let internet service providers describe this information. . .
Irina: What was that — P3P, did you say, or?
Tony: P4P, P-the number 4-P.
Irina: P4P.
Tony: I forget what it stands for, specifically [proactive network provider participation for P2P]. So they were trying to let ISPs tell peer-to-peer networks how to organize. And my goal is so they don't have to do that at all, that the peer-to-peer network can actually just learn this information completely automatically.
So the way it does that goes back to that blockchain idea; so basically each peer maintains its own mutually verified history of how fast they can talk to every other peer in the network. And if they download a bunch of these little histories from the other peers that they actually work with on a regular basis and kind of grow to trust, just because the network seems to be working right, [audio skips] to lease out storage and obtain storage service from these other peers. So basically when you do that it's kind of like going to a restaurant a bunch, and you eventually become a regular, right? So then you might ask people at the restaurant. . .
Irina: So you kind of upgrade through the levels of, you know, having proven yourself to be more reliable or more available, like more things get routed through you, or?
Tony: Yeah. So the idea is, basically these peers can talk to each other, right? So you can imagine going to a restaurant or a bar and being a regular, and so you ask the bartender, it's like, 'What other restaurants should I go to?' That kind of thing, right?
Irina: Right, ok. So I'm not entirely sure about the comparison to the blockchain. But so each node — or each peer — in the network has a log of their connection to other peers, and speed or level, location, how convenient it is for you to connect to them. And when it comes to regulating the network or actually routing through this network, what is the actual algorithm or mechanism or way that you envisage that working?
Tony: So when you have all these logs, when you have all this metadata about how effectively was I able to communicate with these other peers, then basically you can start collecting all [audio skips] and so the algorithm you use to select — so what you want to do, you want to expand your network of peers. You have a bunch of peers you've been working with and you want to effectively grow your peer network, because you have either more data then you can store on your existing [audio skips].
So what you would do then is apply an algorithm. So the name for this type of algorithm is called collaborative filtering. It's probably best known as the Amazon recommendation engine. So there are several types of algorithms that fit this category; the main one is known as singular value decomposition. You do all this crazy stuff with sparse matrices. But basically the idea is, based on your history with other peers, you can look at the peers that they have also interacted with, because every time you interact with one of these peers you're going to grab their whole history of every other peer on the network they've interacted with. So basically. . .
Irina: So, wait. So the data for any individual peers, that's stored locally, or what. . .?
Tony: Each peer stores its own history, and then when you want to. . .
Irina: And when you come across a peer, you get that history, or?
Tony: When you want to do something, when you want to engage in one of these leases with a peer, what they're going to do is give you their individual blockchain and you're going to sign off that. Like, yes, I'm giving storage service; or yes, I'm accepting storage service. So just by the way the network operates it's going to grab these histories, you're going to sign them, they're going to sign them, but in the meantime you're collecting; each peer collects all this information about the peers it's interacted with.
And then once you have all that information you can kind of do the Amazon thing, right? You can go, here's my history of peers I've interacted with, kind of like, here's the products I've looked at or bought on Amazon. And you could go, ok, here's all the other peers I know about, and based on that, which peers are most similar to the peers I've interacted with and had good service with?
Irina: Ok, awesome! I love this idea of using this Bitcoin-type style/method. And you talked a bit about other, let's see, peer-to-peer protocols. What is it that made you want to make Cryptosphere? And if you were going to summarize how you think, you know, what does it bring, how does it distinguish itself, what is the focus of it?
Tony: So I should probably first start by talking about Tahoe. So Tahoe-LAFS is a very, very similar system. I'm taking a lot of their ideas, but it's also a project I've contributed to. So they're trying to do a peer-to-peer filesystem. Right now it's mostly targeted at small groups, but they're talking about expanding it out to larger and larger networks. The main thing that I think distinguishes the Cryptosphere from Tahoe is, I want to make it really easy to build web applications on top of the Cryptosphere. And [audio skips] avoiding that mostly because web security is really, really, really hard to get right, and they feel like if you can't get it right, you shouldn't do it at all.
They may be right about that! So even trying to do this, and trying to loop in a web browser and make it really easy for people who build HTML and JavaScript apps to build on top of the Cryptosphere? Yeah, doing all that is pretty scary. There are probably going to be some mistakes made along the way. But I think it's worthwhile, it's worth attempting, and hopefully when we're done we should have something really neat for people to build on top of.
The one other distinguishing characteristic is trying to heavily integrate with Git. So Git is a distributed version control system. It's something people are really familiar with, and it's a great way to manage things like the source code of the HTML apps. So the idea is, if somebody's familiar with Git they can just write all their stuff, check it in to Git, Git push, and this gets kind of blasted out to the whole peer-to-peer network. So anybody who goes to a Cryptosphere address looking for a website gets the latest, greatest version of that code, and everything is kept secure, end to end the entire way without them ever having to think about that.
Irina: Cool! So you're providing this service for web app developers. If you were to think about, in a few years this is where I want this to be, and this is what I really want people to be doing with it, you know, what's the dream, what's the goal?
Tony: I mean, so there are all sorts of things I can think of that you can build on top of this. The goal would be distributed Facebooks, distributed Wikipedias, all these things where there are these systems where a bunch of people are trying to collaborate on something. Or there are social networks.
The social network aspect is way more interesting to me, because you know, people want to share stuff with their friends. They want to keep it just within their group of friends. They don't necessarily want to show the world or their employers or their parents, right? They want to go have a good time and be able to take pictures, but not worry about like, you know, somebody seeing something that is something unseemly that they wouldn't want the entire world to see, right? I want people to be able to have that sort of sharing among their friends but without the sort of Facebook worries of, Facebook just wants all your data, they want everybody to be able to see everything.
Irina: Right. Exactly.
Tony: Yeah. The same with Wikipedia, right? You have this really cool collection of all the world's knowledge, but a lot of people don't like the way Wikipedia is being run right now. It would be great if [audio skips] Wikipedia, and let somebody else maybe experiment with the social policies around how Wikipedia is run or something. Like maybe it shouldn't be that everybody is able to edit everything at all times. Maybe Wikipedia needs more of a security model that isn't just, you know, hey, all these people are editing stuff and we don't like your edits, so we're the mods, we're just going to remove it, right?
So I think if you or a group of people are really unhappy with the way Wikipedia is run, there shouldn't be this giant infrastructural investment to try to make your own Wikipedia replacement, right? It should be as easy as like, I'm going to take Wikipedia, I'm just going to fork it, and the parts of Wikipedia that are shared between the old Wikipedia and the new Wikipedia just get shared by the network, and then just the things that have changed you can control yourself.
Irina: Ok, so that's quite interesting. So I guess you're also seeing this aspect of using Git and the ability to have — so you fork, and have versions, the ability to push — to work with what Cryptosphere is offering.
Tony: Yeah, definitely. I mean, this is something I see all over the place. If you look at something like the Domain Name System, right? There are governments that are like, we don't like these domain names; we're just going to shut them down. So right now DNS is very, very centralized, and it would be cool if DNS itself could be decentralized. There are people also working on this with systems like Namecoin.
I think it would be really neat if we have someone like ICANN who's in control of DNS, and if enough people get mad at ICANN and they're like, we want to make our own domain name registry that's distinct from yours, they could basically fork ICANN and people could go, ok, we're going to trust this alternative ICANN to be the domain name registry. It starts as just a fork of the original but it could be a fork that's ICANN but, you know, the domain names are trying to sensor — well, we're just going to keep all those in there. So basically it makes it really hard for governments to leverage things like centralized entities to censor. . .
Irina: Push control, and push that — so to sort of start wrapping up, what is next, what are you working on, and how do people get involved? And just to kind of answer that, I guess it would be — from a user perspective, say if you are technical, if you're not technical, how do you start using this now? And actually, how reliable is the network at present?
Tony: So the network at present is nonexistent.
Irina: Nonexistent? Ok!
Tony: Yeah. Basically, right now I'm working on the Git server, learning an awful lot about Git, all its intricacies — like .pac files and that kind of thing. I really like Git. I really think it's the right choice for this, especially for imagining things like the source code to HTML and JavaScript applications or for something like Wikipedia, where you have these large text-based documents. Git does a really good job of basically letting you efficiently represent lots and lots of small changes over time, that sort of thing.
So that's where I've been focused on. The other things I've already tackled, which are fairly hard but I think, not the hardest problems in the system — I've done an awful lot of work trying to make sure the [audio skips] is good. So I've developed my own wrapper to a fairly prestigious cryptography library called the Networking and Cryptography library by Dan Bernstein, otherwise known as NaCl, or he says it should be called 'salt'! So Dan Bernstein is pretty much one of the leading cryptographers in the world, and I have built basically a wrapper to his library and worked with other people to make it easier to distribute, easier to install.
So ultimately my goal for the Cryptosphere is basically, you have one thing as an end user, right? You have one thing you can download. You have a nice, simple installer. And ideally what you get is a custom web browser that talks to this little back end that's running locally, encrypting everything locally so nothing's going through a centralized service at all. And basically you have this secure web browser with this complicated peer-to-peer back end that's doing all the magic for you. So yeah, the UI in the end should be a web browser, in my opinion.
Irina: Awesome! Ok, and in terms of the applications that work on top of it, are they going to be just, essentially, apps that are specific for the browser?
Tony: Yeah, so long before the World Wide Web as we know it, there was this system, this hypertext system from the 60s called Xanadu that was trying to solve all these problems. And it was just overcomplicated, never went anywhere. So basically I'm trying to solve all the problems that Xanadu was trying to solve where every single piece of the content in the entire system is securely identifiable. So you're going to build apps specific to this secure version of the web. It's going to have a JavaScript API and it's going to leverage a lot of neat stuff that's only just becoming available in modern web browsers.
Most notably, HTML5 added real sandboxing, this thing called 'iframe' sandbox. So basically I can have this little outer page that's doing all the security stuff — it's doing all the secret management, and the actual apps that are running on the Cryptosphere will run inside of the sandbox, talk over these message channel things to the outer page, and the outer page is going to talk to this actual back end you're going to have to download which I'm writing in Ruby.
And so, basically if you use the API that's exposed inside the sandbox, you as an HTML5/JavaScript app developer are going to be able to leverage this pretty rich peer-to-peer back end to do all sorts of cool stuff for you. Mostly just storing data, providing secure ways to share data among the trusted peers, that sort of thing. So people can build these distributed Facebooks and distributed Wikipedias and that kind of thing.
Irina: Ok, so eventually people will be able to download, have this browser, and then they can go and access and use awesome Facebook phones; everything is automatically encrypted for them, they don't have to set anything up, and there's no central routing — it's all just through the peer-to-peer network. That sounds like an amazing feature! And how far away do you think you are, and what do you need to happen for that to be a reality that's actually dependable and efficient and useable?
Tony: So my goal is to ship this in a year. So 10 years ago I presented my other peer-to-peer system at DEF CON, so my goal is to try to ship this at the 10th anniversary of my last [audio skips] my other system kind of fizzled out. But as far as what I'm looking for with collaborators, on the Ruby side I'm trying to pick people out of my other project, Celluloid. Celluloid itself has gotten a lot of people who are interested in these sort of ideas to come to a single place and talk. So I didn't mention it before, but a lot of people who are using Celluloid now are actually using it to build stuff like Bitcoin trading websites. So there are already a lot of people who are interested in this sort of thing who are kind of hangers-on to Celluloid.
So on the Ruby side, I'd really like to recruit those people to work on the back end. On the front end I'm definitely looking for people who are HTML5 and JavaScript developers who are interested in this sort of thing, who want to build secure, decentralized apps, don't want to write the back end themselves, want somebody to write it for them. I would really love to have some HTML/JavaScript developers get involved and help flesh out these APIs that are going to exist inside the sandbox, and basically be the API that anybody using JavaScript would use.
So there are already a bunch of these sort of people working on the parts I want to use in the browser. These technologies specifically are called Oasis and Conductor. Oasis is the sandboxing and Conductor is the application framework. So they would build these things called cards, kind of like in Twitter, you know, when you click on a Tweet it has media attached to it, right? You get a little tiny embedded view of that media. So that's actually coming offsite, off of Twitter. So it's the same idea. You can pull this third-party content into your system and still have it be secure.
So yeah, I'm looking for, especially people who are interested in Oasis and Conductor, and more generally this other JavaScript framework called Ember.js. So I used to work with some of the guys who created all this stuff. I keep talking to them about how to combine this all together and do a single system to do all this stuff for you. But yeah, definitely if you're interested in building decentralized apps in HTML and JavaScript, definitely talk to me.
Irina: Awesome! Ok, well thank you very much Tony! And for everybody, cryptosphere.org is the new site. Cool! Maybe we can talk to you again.
Tony: Yeah, definitely! Thanks.
Irina: Bye bye!

The US Department of Justice has announced the launch of 10 regional Elder Justice Task Forces. These teams will bring together federal, state and local prosecutors, law enforcement, and agencies that provide services to the elderly, to coordinate and enhance efforts to pursue nursing homes that provide grossly substandard care to their residents. "Millions of seniors count on nursing homes to provide them with quality care and to treat them with dignity and respect when they are most vulnerable," said Acting Associate Attorney General Stuart F. Delery. "Yet, all too often we have found nursing home owners or operators who put their own economic gain before the needs of their residents. These task forces will help ensure that we are working closely with all relevant parties to protect the elderly." The Elder Justice Task Forces will include representatives from the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, state Medicaid Fraud Control Units, state and local prosecutors' offices, the Department of Health and Human Services, state Adult Protective Services agencies, Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs and law enforcement.

A game to look forward to
Corry Evans is eager to head into the international break on a high with a win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
The midfielder will link up with Northern Ireland after the weekend, but first wants to claim a second win on the road for Rovers.
Evans knows it won't be easy against the Villans, a side managed by his former boss Steve Bruce who he played under at Hull City.
"They've had a slow start themselves, but they've picked up recently," Evans told Rovers PlayerHD.
"It's still a massive club and it's a place I'm really looking forward to going and playing, I think everyone is.
"If we get a win on Saturday, it would be a massive boost to the whole team.
"I know they'll be solid and hard working, that's a given if you play for Steve Bruce's teams. That's how he wants them to be.
"They'll be physical and they'll be in your face, and I'm sure it will be a very difficult game."

What Will Apple Do With Its $137 Billion?
Hopefully, something sooner than later.

(TMFRhino)

If the stock market were a social endeavor, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) would be the nouveau riche, or new money. While the company has $137 billion in the bank, this sum has been built up in a staggeringly fast time. In the past year alone, Apple has generated more than $47 billion in free cash flow.
In an article comparing Apple with ExxonMobil, its big-oil nemesis for the crown of the world's most valuable company, I noted how Exxon is in a different category than Apple, having returned a staggering $265 billion to shareholders over the past decade. More than $75 billion of that amount was in dividends alone. Exxon's the old money, having existed in one form or another since 1882 and having a history of 30 straight years of dividend raises.
Yet with a very slight decline in earnings per share last quarter and a forecast for a larger fall-off in earnings next quarter, Apple is finding investors clamoring for it to accept its new reality of lower growth and act like its old-money peers. So let's look at Apple's recent history at giving capital back to its shareholders, and what it can do with its $137 billion across the next year.
How will Apple use its cash?
Simply put, as companies generate operating cash flow, they have five main options for how to use it.
Spend it on capital expenditures.
Use it for acquisitions.
Return the money to shareholders as a dividend.
Buy back their own shares.
Hoard it.
Currently, Apple has been following the final option and has accumulated $137 billion that's managed by its Braeburn investment unit. How might the company attack the other four ways it can use its operating cash flow in the future?
It might shock some investors, but the company's biggest use of its operating cash is actually capital expenditures. Apple spent $9.3 billion in the past 12 months on capex and expects to see that total continue to rise across the coming year. The reason is simple: While Apple uses outsourced manufacturers such as Foxconn to build its devices, it's increasingly had to buy its own equipment for those factories to secure supply-chain stability.
Next, we look at acquisitions. There's no way around it: Most acquisitions fail. Luckily for Apple shareholders, the company isn't very acquisitive. Sure, it'll make smaller bets on interesting technologies, such as when it bought Siri or recently swallowed up fingerprint-recognition company AuthenTec, but these are smaller deals. To this day, Apple's largest acquisition in history is still believed to be its 1997 purchase of NeXT for $404 million.
Point being, as a shareholder, there's little fear that Apple will waste its money on something like Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) later abandoned $45 billion buyout offer for Yahoo! or its later completed $8.6 billion deal for Skype. Today, even after a recent rally, Yahoo! trades for $24 billion, which helps illustrate the dubiousness of the deal.
That leaves us to examine dividends and share repurchases.
How Apple's dividends stack up
Apple first announced its dividend on March 19 of last year. The company announced a dividend of $2.65 per quarter, with those dividends beginning in Apple's September quarter. Along with its dividends, Apple announced a $10 billion share-repurchase program that started last quarter. With these two programs combined, Apple anticipated returning $45 billion to shareholders across three years' time.
At the time of Apple's dividend announcement, it was a solid step in the right direction, but nothing groundbreaking. Apple's dividend of $10.60 per year was about a 1.8% yield of its then-share price of $595 per share. As Apple's share price has dropped, its yield has risen, though it still trails many big-tech peers.
Payout Ratio (%)
Annual Dividend Payout
Apple 2.4% 24% ~$10 billion
Microsoft 3.3% 50%* ~$7.7 billion
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) 4.3% 42% ~$4.5 billion
Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) 0 0 $0
Source: S&P CapitalIQ. Payout ratio is trailing net income divided by annual dividend rate.
*Microsoft took a $6 billion impairment of goodwill in the past year. Without that impairment, its payout ratio would be closer to 35%
Apple's absolute amount of dividend payments trumps its big tech peers aside from Google, a company that has yet to institute a dividend of any kind. Because of Apple's significantly larger market cap than other tech companies, its dividend yield is much smaller. With only a 24% payout ratio, there's plenty of room left for the company to increase its payouts.
Are share repurchases the way to go?
Other than dividends, the other part of Apple's announced $45 billion plan to return capital to shareholders was a $10 billion share-repurchase program. If used correctly, share repurchases can be an effective tool.
The problem with Apple's repurchase program is that it simply isn't significant enough. If averaged over three years, the repurchase program buys back $3.3 billion per year. That's about 7.5 million out of Apple's existing 939.1 million shares outstanding.
However, Apple awarded $1.7 billion in stock-based compensation last fiscal year. That number surged from the $879 million Apple awarded in fiscal 2010. Apple still pays much less in stock-based compensation than a competitor such as Microsoft or Google. (Google has recorded $2.7 billion worth of stock-based compensation in the past year.)
Apple itself noted this situation in commencing its repurchase plan, noting its "primary objective of neutralizing the impact of dilution from future employee equity grants and employee stock purchase programs."
More repurchases on the way
The problem with Apple's announcement of its dividend and repurchase program was that the company set the timeframe over too long a period. If Apple held free cash flow around $50 billion over the coming three years and paid out its full announced $45 billion in dividends and share repurchases, it'd have more than $250 billion in the bank.
Apple surely realizes this coming "problem," however, and I think an astute investor would realize the company is already taking steps in the direction of upping its share-repurchase commitments, even if CFO Peter Oppenheimer has maintained that the company is comfortable with its current $45 billion commitment for the time being.
Last quarter, the first quarter of Apple's $10 billion repurchase program, the company spent $1.95 billion in repurchases. That's already 20% of the purchase commitment in a single quarter. Front-loading repurchases in this fashion seems to indicate that the company will quickly blow through its $10 billion in repurchase commitments.
In giving guidance for the coming quarter, Apple used almost every metric necessary to come up with its earnings per share (EPS) -- revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, the amount of interest its cash will collect, and a tax rate. Yet despite this trail of bread crumbs leading to its EPS, Apple didn't give an EPS. The only major area needed to calculate EPS that Apple didn't give is its share count. Simply put, Apple seems undecided on how many shares it'll purchase in the upcoming quarter.
If Apple was undecided on how to use its repurchase program, the 14% selloff post-earnings gives it a perfect window of opportunity. While Apple has never exactly been nimble when it comes to its cash management, it now has an opportunity to rebuy its own shares at less than 10 times earnings.
Consider that Microsoft has been aggressively repurchasing its stock across the past decade, with little to show for it. However, it predominantly did so when the company wasn't cheap. Microsoft purchased an astounding $27.6 billion of its stock in fiscal 2007, a year when its average P/E was between 22 and 23 times earnings. The surest way to burn a cash hoard is to buy back a company's overpriced stock.
If Apple were to accelerate its share-repurchase program, it'd avoid the trap of past companies. It wouldn't start aggressively buying when the company was at 20 times earnings or more; it'd be when Apple was at a P/E of around 10 or less.
No discussion of Apple's cash hoard would be complete without noting that $94 billion of its cash is held overseas and subject to additional repatriation taxes if the company wants to get more aggressive about returning capital. Yet with Apple still getting about 40% of its sales from the United States, that could leave about $20 billion a year in cash flow from America alone. Given that Apple currently spends only about $13 billion a year between dividends and share repurchases, the path forward looks clear.
It's time for Apple to get off its wallet and start being more strategic repurchasing its shares. Let's hope the initial signs from the company lead to the right decision: increasing its share repurchase allocation and getting more strategic with its cash.

News: July 2, 1998 - Tax rates set, bills out in two weeks
Tax rates set, bills out in two weeks
By David Still II
Values are up and tax rates are down. That's the basic take on this year's revauation of property and its effect on the tax rates.
Each of the six different rates based on the Town of Barnstable's revaluation of property -- the town's and those of the five fire districts-went down.
Tax rates are directly proportional to the property values in each district, as the total tax levy is divided by the amount of taxable property. So although tax levies increased slightly in Fiscal Year '98, the rates went down because of the higher values.
All told, property values in Barnstable increased from $4.57 billion to $4.85 billion.
Taxpayers should remember that the bills that will be issued later this month (July 15 or 16 is now the target) will collect revenues for the fiscal year that just ended. The rates just set are subject to change come October when the next round of bills begins for the FY'99 cycle.
Because tax billing delays are common during revaluation years, the state permits tax revenues collected 30 days after the official close of the fiscal year on June 30 to be credited to the prior year's accounts. This has significant bookkeeping ramifications for municipalities in the amount of free cash the state will certify and allow to be spent. Because of the lateness of Barnstable's bills, the final due date for tax bills will be about two weeks beyond the state-allowed extension, which will affect some reserve accounts.
Think of it as a check deposited after 3 p.m. that won't be credited to the account until the next busness day. The same principal applies with local receipts, except that instead of the next business day, these funds would not be available until the next business year.
It will also mean that there will be a spike in local receipts a year from now because of the payment overlap.
Once tax receipts start coming in, the town expects to pay off a revenue anticipation note it took out last month to cover operational expenses and to replenish reserve accounts used to keep the town flush.
Shift in the Land
According to Assessing Director Robert Whitty, the trend in this revaluation saw values in land increase more than the buildings that sit upon it. He said this was not the case three years ago when buildings and structures saw a greater increase in value.
FY'98 FY'97
Town Barnstable FD Cotuit FD COMM FD Hyannis FD W.Barn.FD
$11.76 $2.63 $2.37 $1.61 $3.25 $1.96
All rates are per $1,000 valuation

I hired these guys because of their experience and the fact that they are licensed and insured and I am glad I did. I have a back yard now that I enjoy and can entertain without embarrassment.
They were knowledgeable, courteous and clean and in uniform. I had them design me a yard and it is fully functional, Water feature, patio, and fire pit. I am ready for summer BBQ's! I have already had my mom call them do help with her yard.
I had this company out to do colored and stamped concrete curbing for me and when they were done, you could not even tell I had a landscaping company out. (They cleaned up everything.) The curbing looked great well beyond what I expected. They even sealed it for me at no additional cost, I was shocked because the other curb companies said it was an extra charge. I am going to have them out this spring to do my backyard.
I wanted a water feature in my front yard and contacted 3 landscape contractors for bids. Legends was the first one here, he took the time to find out what our needs were (style, size, what kind of rock and what kind of feature) I did not know there were different types. This company did a fabulous job!
I bought a new house and needed help with a design for my front yard. Tom showed me his portfolio and gave me some ideas of his own. He didn't just try to sell me on just anything he actually took the time in designing and installing the perfect yard for my family.


ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU-TV) These dogs have escaped a certain death in China, and are now awaiting a forever home here in Alaska.
Chugiak's Kelly Walker has rescued 10 dogs, 5 are here now and 5 more will arrive in December.
Kelly says getting the dogs from overseas and into Alaska was an incredible moment.
Walker says, "Honestly the feeling that Jane and I had when we drove down to pick up the dogs for the first time, we were so filled with excitement but also scared out of our brains. Both of us have never done anything like this before and we actually pulled it off. Then we saw their little faces through the cage and it just broke my heart"
One has already been adopted but there are four more looking for homes just in time for the holidays.

Enoch Heiland (auch: Heyland; * 26. August 1582 in Weißenfels; † 15. Mai 1639 in Leipzig) war ein deutscher Rechtswissenschaftler.

Leben
Enoch war der Sohn des Bürgers und Gastwirts in Weißenfels Wolfgang Heiland und dessen Frau Rebecca (geb. Hermann; † 1589). Nach dem Besuch der Schule in Weißenfels wurde er am 19. Oktober 1596 in die kurfürstlich sächsische Landesschule Pforta aufgenommen. 1602 nahm er an der Universität Leipzig ein Studium auf. Die ersten drei Jahre absolvierte er zunächst philosophische Studien, unter anderem bei dem Mathematiker und Physiker Christoph Hunnich. Im Anschluss beschäftigte er sich mit medizinischen Studien, wendete sich jedoch unter der Führung von Wilhelm Schmuck (1575–1634) dem Studium der Rechtswissenschaften zu.

Hierzu frequentierte er ab dem 21. Mai 1606 die Vorlesungen von Bonaventura Gaur an der Universität Wittenberg und im Wintersemester 1607 die von Ilico Ummius (1581–1643) an der Universität Jena. Nach Leipzig zurückgekehrt, erwarb er sich am 9. Mai. 1611 das Lizenziat und 26. März 1612 den akademischen Grad eines Doktors der Rechte. Anschließend arbeitete er als Anwalt am kurfürstlich sächsischen Appellationsgericht und wurde 1617 Advokat am geistlichen Konsistorium in Leipzig.

1621 erhielt er die Stelle eines Assessors an der juristischen Fakultät der Leipziger Hochschule. Hier stieg er am 30. Juni 1628 zum Professor der Instituten auf und wurde damit verbunden Kanoniker im Stift Naumburg. Am 16. Oktober 1637 übernahm er zudem die Professur des Kodex und erhielt damit verbunden die Stelle eines Domherrn in Merseburg. Auch wirkte Heiland als Assessor am Leipziger Oberhofgericht. Im Wintersemester 1629 und 1637 führte er als Rektor der Leipziger Alma Mater deren Geschicke. Nach seinem Tod wurde sein Leichnam am 19. Mai 1639 in der Leipziger Paulinerkirche begraben. Dort errichtete man ihm ein marmornes Epitaph.

Familie
Heiland heiratete am 28. Oktober 1611 in Leipzig Margarethe Leyser (* 22. Februar 1594 in Wittenberg; † 14. Januar 1662 in Leipzig), die Tochter des Theologen Polykarp Leyser des Älteren und dessen Frau Elisabeth (geb. Cranach). Aus der Ehe stammen fünf Söhne und fünf Töchter.

Problem solving and creativity go hand in hand. So it helps a problem solver to continually hone his creative skills.
Though there are many ways to hone one's creativity we may always learn a new method to do so from Joachim Schmid. He creates new images from 'technically wrong' images.
This is what he did to create this fine work of art. In this case, he came across a box of negatives, cut in half so they could not be used. Just like putting jigsaw puzzle pieces together – he positioned the different images in odd combinations that created a surprising new image with profound fluidity.
Potential for creative work can just be found anywhere. With this technique we learn how to put together seemingly unrelated images, ideas, thoughts to create a surprisingly new image, idea or thought.
You can see the potential anywhere.
Ideas are the most profound of products that we as humans generate and possibly the most democratic of all the activities that we ever undertake. The good thing is this is perhaps the only area of human activity where each one of us is "Simply brilliant." No doubts about that.
Ideas are the fundamental building blocks of creativity. Without such building blocks there would be no stories, no films, no painting, no great scientific discovery, no great analysis or a fine innovation.
We don't need any special permission from bosses, spouse, children, friends to come up with a good idea.
This can be done anywhere at anytime without the help of any special gadgets, equipment, environment or even prior practices of any kind.
It can be done in all conceivable positions — sitting down, standing up, standing on your head, lying down, having lunch, strolling in the park or making love in bed.
The best ideas are usually generated even when we are actually not thinking about anything in particular. We can truly celebrate our freedom to conjure up ideas from nowhere — a great luxury.
Generation of ideas does not depend on race, gender, creed, colour, or age. It is truly global and liberating.
And if an idea blossoms at the right place in the right time then of course it holds the raw power to change the course of human history.
So, are ideas really worth 2 cents?

WTA Pulls Tournaments from China Over Peng Shuai Story
China's Peng Shuai serves to Japan's Nao Hibino during their first round singles match at the Australian Open tennis championship in Melbourne, Australia, on Jan. 21, 2020. China's Foreign Ministry is sticking to its line that it isn't aware of the controversy surrounding tennis professional Peng Shuai, who disappeared after accusing a former top official of sexually assaulting her. (AP Photo/Andy Brownbill, File)
By Evan Weiner |
The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has decided it does not need to do business in China on a short-term basis and has pulled all of its tournaments out of the country. The WTA is not happy with China's silencing of the sexual assault allegations made by Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai against a former top Communist Party official.
The WTA chairman and CEO Steve Simon said: "In good conscience, I don't see how I can ask our athletes to compete there when Peng Shuai is not allowed to communicate freely and has seemingly been pressured to contradict her allegation of sexual assault. Given the current state of affairs, I am also greatly concerned about the risks that all of our players and staff could face if we were to hold events in China in 2022."
The WTA action vastly differs from the International Olympic Committee which has sidestepped the issue as best it could. On November 21, the IOC wrote in a statement that in a video call with IOC president Thomas Bach, Peng seemed to be "relaxed."
IOC members have not seen that video as Dick Pound, a Canadian IOC delegate and a Montreal based lawyer, told CNN but Pound is good with that. It is "the best evidence we have at the moment. There are lots of countries where you can't easily leave the country. I think a lot of that is speculation. What we have is hard evidence as we can have and feel. These are people who have dealt with athletes and dealt with pressure. They can tell whether somebody is behaving under duress or not."
The IOC's 2022 Winter Olympics will be held in China, there is money to be made in China. The WTA doesn't want that money but the IOC does.

Q: normalize column data with maximum value of that column I have a data file with two columns. I want to find out the maximum data value from the second column and divide each entries of second column witht he maximum value. (So I will get all the entries in second column <= 1.00).
I tried with this command below:
awk 'BEGIN {max = 0} {if ($2>max) max=$2} {print  ($2/max)}' angleOut.dat

but I get error message as below.
awk: (FILENAME=angleOut.dat FNR=1) fatal: division by zero attempted

note: There are some data in the second column which is zero value. But when the zero value divide with max value, I should get zero, but I get error as above.
Could I get any help for this?
Many thanks in advance.

A: Let's take this as the sample input file:
$ cat >file
1 5
2 2
3 7
4 6

This awk script will normalize the second column:
$ awk 'FNR==NR{max=($2+0>max)?$2:max;next} {print $1,$2/max}' file file
1 0.714286
2 0.285714
3 1
4 0.857143

This script reads through the input file twice.  The first time, it finds the maximum.  The second time is prints the lines with the second column normalized.
The Ternary Statement
Consider:
max=($2+0>max)?$2:max

This is a compact form of an if-then-else statement.  The "if" part is $2+0>max.  If this evaluates to true, the value following the ? is assigned to max.  If it is false, then the value following the : is assigned to max.
The more explicit form of an if statement works well too.
Also, note that incantation $2+0.  In awk variables can be strings or numbers according to context.  In string context, > compares lexicographic ordering.  We want a numeric comparison.  By adding zero to $2, we are removing all doubt and forcing awk to treat $2 as a number.

A: You cannot determine max before seeing the whole file so you need two passes. This one uses two awk executions to get the normalized output:
awk -vmax=$(awk 'max < $2 { max = $2 } END { print max }' angleOut.dat) \
    '{print $2 / max}' angleOut.dat


Trading your glasses for contact lenses can feel like a daunting but exciting prospect. However, opting for contacts is a big decision and should not be undertaken lightly. They are actually considered a medical device by FDA. First and foremost, you must consider how committed you are to wearing them and how they would fit into your lifestyle.
Your eye doctor will take a case history. He will also do a general exam and ask about the lifestyle you have. After that, they'll put contact lenses in and will have you stick around to make sure they settle, ensure that you feel comfortable, check your vision, and of course teach you the ways to put them in and take them out. It isn't scary and there isn't much more involved compared to a general exam.
It's best not to wear makeup to the appointment and make sure you bring along your prescription glasses. I can feel you cringing at the no makeup rule but your eye doctor needs to be able to see every part of your eyes clearly so leave the liner at home, say no to the eye-shadow and skip the mascara!
Thinking that you cannot wear contacts or soft contact lenses if you have an astigmatism is one of the biggest misconceptions and something that hasn't been true for many years. It is only a myth that is perpetuated. What has changed is that there is now a broader range of available prescriptions for daily disposables for those who have astigmatism.
Just because these lenses have a cosmetic component it does not put them in a separate class as a non-medical device. Your vision and cornea still have to be monitored even though there is no prescription. The problem with these types of lenses as the experts have seen, is when individuals order them over the internet and then share them with friends. Unfortunately in the past this has brought about devastating consequences.
Based on the clinical examination your practitioner will pick out the best materials. Generally, in the practice of some experts, they prefer anybody under twenty-one to wear disposable contact lenses daily. If you are going to go in as new wearer, particularly if you are an active and young teenager, you must tell your eye expert that your preference is daily disposable contact lenses. They are the safest and best way to wear contacts particularly if you are too busy to be fastidious about cleaning them. Imagine how much easier your life would be, simply throwing away your contact lenses every evening and having a brand new set each morning.
Contact lenses are more beneficial than traditional eyeglasses. If you have decided to go for contacts then you now have a few factors to keep in mind. And when you are ready to take the plunge, visit Lensite contact lenses UK to get a 10% discount on your first order.

Iranian Defense Minister: U.S.-Zionist Conspiracy Behind Middle East Turmoil
Iran's defense minister claimed that conflicts in Iraq and Syria are the result of a "deep-seated U.S.-Zionist conspiracy" during a memorial service for Mustafa Baddredine, a Hezbollah commander who was responsible for bombing the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, Iranian media reported on Wednesday.
"Zionists are supporting terrorists and equipping them, i.e. pitting them against Muslims," charged Hossein Dehghan. "What is important for them is to guarantee the Zionist regime's security." Israel has treated over 2,000 Syrians who have been wounded in the country's civil war since it broke out in 2011.
Dehghan, who was also implicated in the Hezbollah plot to bomb the Marine barracks, praised those defending Shiite shrines in Syria, saying, "their martyrdom will encourage more young people to join the battle against Takfiri and terrorist groups."
While Dehghan attributed most of the estimated 400,000 dead in Syria's civil war to foreign fighters, human rights groups say that the vast majority of civilian fatalities were victims of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which Iran heavily backs. Human right investigators are building war crimes cases against Assad and his government, and collecting documentation and testimony to supplement photographs of the regime's thousands of torture and murder victims.
The U.S. House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly approved a resolution calling for a tribunal to investigate human rights violations and war crimes committed by the Assad regime and its allies, including Iran.
Baddredine, who was killed in an explosion of unknown origin in Syria earlier this month, was also praised by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

William Meaker
by Ray Bendici May 28, 2012
written by Ray Bendici
Outcome: Acquitted
Some of those in the annals of state history who were seriously accused of witchcraft were drawn into the hysteria due to their own misunderstood actions. Then there were "witches" like William Meaker, who seems to have been the innocent target of a trouble-making neighbor's churlish shenanigans.
In this case, the neighbor, Thomas Mullener was a inveterate jerk, it seems. According to The Witchcraft Delusion in Colonial Connecticut by John M. Taylor and this well-researched WikiTree article tracing William Meaker's family history, Mullener was well known to the court of New Haven, appearing often in the official New Haven Colonial Records for infractions such as "sending his servants to the oyster banks to gather oysters upon the Sabeth day" (and then eating said oysters), stealing the pigs of neighbors (and marking them as his own), "borrowing" horses and oxens without permission, and for generally not observing the Sabbath properly. In short, Mullener was not exactly the most upstanding member of the community.
William Meaker was a far more respectable gentleman. He born in England in 1620, migrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony around 1630, and then moved to the New Haven colony in 1644. He was then married in about 1646 to a Sarah Jane Preston, with whom he had six children.
From the record, it seems as though Mullener was constantly at odds with Meaker (among other neighbors). In 1657, Mullener decided that one of his pigs was bewitched—a determination that he was able to make after "he did cut of the tayle and eare of one and threw into the fire," which he claimed was "a means used in England by some people to finde out witches." (It also seems like part of a tasty recipe, too!) He formally accused Meaker of being responsible for the bewitching.
William Meaker, of course, vigorously disputed the charge, and in turn, retaliated with his own charge of defamation against Mullener. It appears as though it was an open-and-shut case, given Mullener's reputation; according to the record, the case was brought before the court on May 7, 1657, and was resolved in one day, with Meaker being acquitted on all counts of witchcraft. Meaker then withdrew the defamation charge.
Apparently, this wasn't the end of the conflict between the two, as they were back in court together a year later in October 1658, with Meaker again charging slander against Mullener. Although the Meaker won the case and a financial judgement against Mullener, the level-headed colonist stated that "he would not require the [money] of him, for it was not his estate he sought, but he might live peaceably by him . . ."
That peace may never have come—Meaker moved his family to Elizabethtown, New Jersey, in 1664, where he remained until his death in 1690 at age 70.
This case gives a great insight to how serious the charge of witchcraft was considered—360 years later and William Meaker's name is still on the witchcraft record despite what appears to have been a spurious claim from a crackpot neighbor. Thankfully, it was recognized for that at the time, and Meaker didn't suffer the fate that some others accused of the same crime did.

Damned Interview: Cynthia Wolfe Boynton, author "Connecticut Witch Trials"
JK Greyfriars May 29, 2012 - 1:18 pm
Isn't that a hallmark of most of the witchcraft accusations and trials – that it traces more to a neighbor or someone in the community who is out to get the accused and finds the vague but shocking charge of "witchcraft" a handy tool? So many of these accounts seem to boil down to one or a few persons who scapegoat someone because they have an unrelated grudge. The Salem incidents (OT here, I know) were essentially caused by one town with a grudge against another.

Are you tired of running out of cash before the end of the month? Is your credit card balance steadily increasing because you are using credit to pay your basic expenses each month? It doesn't have to be that way. There are easy ways to save money without feeling deprived.
It might be time to take a long, hard look at exactly where you are spending your cash, and where you could reduce your expenses.
There are ways to stretch your funds if you are willing to be creative in your approach to budgeting.
A little advance planning each week is all it takes to significantly reduce your vehicle expenses each year. Consider a carpool instead of driving your own vehicle each day. If carpooling isn't the answer, consider alternative options like public transportation that could be cheaper. Even better, if you live close enough to work, consider biking when the weather allows. It will save you money AND give you a physical fitness boost. Additionally, consider asking your employer if telecommuting at least part-time is an option to cut expenses. Employers are more willing than ever before to consider telecommuting arrangements. There are many ways to save on commuting expenses if you get creative.
Being physically active is important for your health, but there are cost-effective ways to accomplish that goal. Consider swapping out your expensive gym membership in favor of working out at home. Purchase a second-hand bike and start cycling. Watch exercise videos for free on YouTub. Grab a friend and go for a walk. The options are endless!
Don't waste energy heating water for laundry. It's perfectly acceptable to wash all your clothes in cold water. Don't wash small loads -- only do laundry when you have a full load. Stay on top of the laundry when it is finished so you can throw it into the dryer right away. It's a tremendous waste of money to rewash clothes because they sat too long in the washer without being dried.
An increasing number of individuals own a mobile smartphone. It often doesn't make financial sense to pay for a landline when you can use your smartphone instead. If you absolutely must have a landline, consider cheaper VOIP options to cut back on the expense.
Instead of buying the latest fashions at the beginning of a season, purchase clothing in the off-season. You can save on winter gear by purchasing in the spring and can find fabulous deals by purchasing your next year's summer wardrobe as this year's fall and winter merchandise is starting to arrive. Don't be afraid to shop at consignment shops, thrift stores and even yard sales. Nobody but you will ever know where your clothes came from and how much money you saved!
Stretching your budget and saving money isn't difficult, but it does take focus. Pay attention to your spending habits. Monitoring where you spend the bulk of your money allows you to spot hidden savings opportunities you might have overlooked.
Will you be using any of these budget-friendly tips to get more from your money? Share your comments and tips with us below!

We're just getting local nets started in my area. How again do we get the word of the week? I recall it was via HF net but I can never hear, nor listen at the times the HF net is going. Is there another way to get the net word OTW?
During your net, announce the NWOTW and the Authentication Number. This information originates from the biweekly HF 20m National Net, then broadcasts over the Regional/National Net and finally shared during the local nets. Using a single source demonstrates the effectiveness of the nets, identifies any gaps in the network, and helps us practice passing information. As a Net Control Station, you are responsible for obtaining the NWOTW and Authentication Number using non-conventional communications (other than internet or phone). Practice using methods that would be reliable during an internet and/or phone service outage.
If you do not have HF or Shortwave capabilities, or were unable to copy the NWOTW, access the member directory and look for a Ham Operator in your county that does. Then, submit a Contact Request and ask if that member can relay the NWOTW via local communications. Establishing local relay stations will help strengthen the network. If you do not have a NWOTW and Authentication Number, still conduct your net without that information.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Athletes of all ages are keeping an eye on the forecast for this weekend's Des Moines Triathlon.
"The water is warm which will be nice at the start but towards the end you`ll have the pace yourself and drink plenty of water and it will be a good day. If you get too hot you slow down a little bit and make the best of it," says Ryan Judas of Urbandale.
Race organizers say they've been checking the forecast and are prepared for the hot weather.
It will be an average of 10 degrees warmer than is normal for this time of year. To combat the heat, extra water stations will be available at the transitions as well as the start and finish.
There will also be extra staff to help keep everyone safe.
"A lot of EMS and medical teams there to help with the heat and to keep everyone hydrated with the water stations," says Michele Burke with Premier Event Management.
Organizers say 250 kids registered for Saturday's iron kids triathlon. On Sunday more than 1,000 adults will take part in either the relay, sprint or Olympic triathlon.
