|PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Release 2 (9.2)
Part Number A96624-01
PL/SQL Language Elements, 34 of 52
OPEN-FOR statement executes the multi-row query associated with a cursor variable. It also allocates resources used by Oracle to process the query and identifies the result set, which consists of all rows that meet the query search criteria. The cursor variable is positioned before the first row in the result set. For more information, see "Using Cursor Variables".
This identifies a cursor variable (or parameter) previously declared within the current scope.
This identifies a cursor variable previously declared in a PL/SQL host environment and passed to PL/SQL as a bind variable. The datatype of the host cursor variable is compatible with the return type of any PL/SQL cursor variable. Host variables must be prefixed with a colon.
This is a query associated with
cursor_variable, which returns a set of values. The query can reference bind variables and PL/SQL variables, parameters, and functions. The syntax of
select_statement is similar to the syntax for
select_into_statement defined in "SELECT INTO Statement", except that
select_statement cannot have an
INTO clause.
You can declare a cursor variable in a PL/SQL host environment such as an OCI or Pro*C program. To open the host cursor variable, you can pass it as a bind variable to an anonymous PL/SQL block. You can reduce network traffic by grouping
OPEN-FOR statements. For example, the following PL/SQL block opens five cursor variables in a single round-trip:
/* anonymous PL/SQL block in host environment */ BEGIN OPEN :emp_cv FOR SELECT * FROM emp; OPEN :dept_cv FOR SELECT * FROM dept; OPEN :grade_cv FOR SELECT * FROM salgrade; OPEN :pay_cv FOR SELECT * FROM payroll; OPEN :ins_cv FOR SELECT * FROM insurance; END;
OPEN-FOR statements can open the same cursor variable for different queries. You need not close a cursor variable before reopening it. When you reopen a cursor variable for a different query, the previous query is lost.
Unlike cursors, cursor variables do not take parameters. No flexibility is lost, however, because you can pass whole queries (not just parameters) to a cursor variable.
You can pass a cursor variable to PL/SQL by calling a stored procedure that declares a cursor variable as one of its formal parameters. However, remote subprograms on another server cannot accept the values of cursor variables. Therefore, you cannot use a remote procedure call (RPC) to open a cursor variable.
When you declare a cursor variable as the formal parameter of a subprogram that opens the cursor variable, you must specify the
OUT mode. That way, the subprogram can pass an open cursor back to the caller.
To centralize data retrieval, you can group type-compatible queries in a stored procedure. When called, the following packaged procedure opens the cursor variable
emp_cv for the chosen query:
CREATE PACKAGE emp_data AS TYPE EmpCurTyp IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp%ROWTYPE; PROCEDURE open_emp_cv (emp_cv IN OUT EmpCurTyp, choice IN INT); END emp_data; CREATE PACKAGE BODY emp_data AS PROCEDURE open_emp_cv (emp_cv IN OUT EmpCurTyp, choice IN INT) IS BEGIN IF choice = 1 THEN OPEN emp_cv FOR SELECT * FROM emp WHERE comm IS NOT NULL; ELSIF choice = 2 THEN OPEN emp_cv FOR SELECT * FROM emp WHERE sal > 2500; ELSIF choice = 3 THEN OPEN emp_cv FOR SELECT * FROM emp WHERE deptno = 20; END IF; END; END emp_data;
For more flexibility, you can pass a cursor variable and a selector to a stored procedure that executes queries with different return types. Here is an example:
CREATE PACKAGE admin_data AS TYPE GenCurTyp IS REF CURSOR; PROCEDURE open_cv (generic_cv IN OUT GenCurTyp, choice INT); END admin_data; CREATE PACKAGE BODY admin_data AS PROCEDURE open_cv (generic_cv IN OUT GenCurTyp, choice INT) IS BEGIN IF choice = 1 THEN OPEN generic_cv FOR SELECT * FROM emp; ELSIF choice = 2 THEN OPEN generic_cv FOR SELECT * FROM dept; ELSIF choice = 3 THEN OPEN generic_cv FOR SELECT * FROM salgrade; END IF; END; END admin_data;

Fla. man still searching for true identity after 8 years
In 2004, Benjaman Kyle woke up with no memory of who he was
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. – He's a detective with a case he's been working eight long years and while he doesn't get paid for his efforts, solving the case would be priceless.
He calls himself "Benjaman Kyle." Channel 4 has been following Mr. Kyle's story for the last two years.
Through a lot of effort between Channel 4 and getting a State Representative involved, Kyle has a Florida legacy ID. He has a name he's given himself, but he can't convince the United States that he deserves a social security number, and he's pleading with people across the U.S. to help.
In 2004, Kyle woke up with no memory of who he was. He'd been beaten and left for dead near Savannah, Ga.
Now, he is living in Jacksonville Beach and trying one more time to get the federal government to admit he's really alive and a citizen of the United States.
"This petition means they will actually look into the situation that I'm in, and they're the highest authority in the land," said Kyle. "Maybe they can actually do something, or will do something."
The petition he's talking about was John Wikstrom's idea. Wikstrom is an Orange Park man who just graduated from Florida State and made a documentary about Kyle.
"We are using the 'We The People' site, which promises a White House response with 25,000 signatures and we're halfway there," said Wikstrom. "We're hoping if we get enough signatures, they'll acknowledge his case and help him out."
Wednesday night, Wikstrom and Kyle hosted an "Ask Me Anything" session on the website, Reddit. They're trying anything they can to get Kyle a social security number or better yet, the number he had by finding out who he really is.
"Eventually, if I knew who I was, I could get my social security number, and I'm sure I've got benefits paid in," said Kyle "So hell, I could retire then. Or semi-retire."
"Nine new numbers that can let Benjaman do whatever he wants for the rest of his life. That's what gives me hope," said Wikstrom.

As the Securities and Exchange Commission prepares to end the ban on general solicitation of private placement offerings, state regulators issued an alert Tuesday warning investors about the risks in such sales.
As it stands now, Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 does not permit general solicitation or advertising of private placement offerings. However, the JOBS Act directs the SEC to lift this ban as long as the sales are limited to "accredited" investors—those who have sufficient wealth or access to information that would presumably allow them to make completely informed investment decisions.
While there's no official date set for when the SEC will finalize the rule, SEC chairwoman nominee Mary Jo White stated at her Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing March 12 that making the remaining rules under the Dodd-Frank and JOBS acts "in as timely and smart a way as possible" would be her top priority at the agency.
As NASAA explains, private placement offerings allow companies to raise money by selling stocks, bonds and other instruments. These offerings may be exempt from federal securities registration requirements. This exemption allows a company to raise business capital without having to comply with the registration requirements of a public securities offering.
Heath Abshure (left), NASAA president and Arkansas securities commissioner, said in a statement that state securities regulators were "concerned that Main Street investors will be lured into high-risk or fraudulent investments when the ban on general solicitation of private placement offerings is lifted."
Once implemented, NASAA says that the SEC's rule will allow companies and promoters to offer securities through direct mail, cold calls, free lunch seminars and television or radio commercials. "As a result, unscrupulous companies and promoters may take advantage of the new rules to offer potentially fraudulent investments," NASAA's advisory says.
Because private placement offerings made in reliance on Rule 506 of Regulation D are not reviewed by regulators, they have become a haven for fraud, NASAA says. For the second consecutive year, NASAA said in October that Regulation D Rule 506 private offerings were one of the most reported products "at the heart" of state securities enforcement actions.
The NASAA advisory includes information on the risks associated with private placement offerings and tips on how investors can protect themselves when considering such an offering.
"Rule 506 has been used by legitimate small businesses as an important source of capital, and state securities regulators want those businesses to be able to thrive and create jobs without unnecessary regulatory impediments," Abshure said. "However, a healthy private placement marketplace requires investors who feel adequately protected."

While all the products might not actually be pink, the partnerships between manufacturers and breast cancer researchers in October always makes me hopeful. It's amazing to see how far we've come in the fight against breast cancer.
I especially love that Gerber NUK has partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) this October. Breastfeeding lowers the risk for breast cancer (even in women where it runs in the family!), so I think this is an excellent match.
NUK is going to donate a portion of its sales from its entire breastfeeding line to NBCF through December 2012. This includes breast pads, breast pumps, milk storage bags, and other accessories.
Looking for other ways to support breast cancer research? Here are some fun pink products.
Infant splatter bib at ShopKomen.com ($8)
Nestly Nuzzles Pink Dog at GUND ($24)
Big Fish computer games ($2.99 and up)
Do you have any "pink" products that you love?

Oscar Pareja got what he wanted out of Wednesday afternoon's scrimmage against the Colorado Foxes, in which rookie Dillon Serna set up the only two goals in a match played on the turf field at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
"We had a challenging session in the morning, and so this afternoon we wanted to play some soccer with the younger players and some of the invited players that are here," Pareja told ColoradoRapids.com after the scrimmage.
Nick LaBrocca, Nathan Sturgis, and Jamie Smith were the senior players that led a group which also included supplemental Draft picks Brenton Griffiths, Marcello Castro and Machael David, trialists David Giraldo, Cesar Romero, and Academy players Isaac Martinez and Ricardo Perez.
MORE: Serna credits Academy for progression to the pros
Serna's first assist came in the first half when he curled in a free kick that Andre Akpan headed in for the first goal of the match. Serna then set up trialist Cesar Romero with 10 minutes to playe when he slipped in a deft pass between two defenders leaving Romero to finish on one touch to extend the lead.
"This exercise was useful so that they can show us a little more what they can do and for us to know them better," Pareja said. "We're still in preseason and we're getting match fit, so it's good to see them play as well."
Colorado Rapids lineup: *Clint Irwin (*Jimmy Maurer 46'), Chris Klute, ^Brenton Griffiths, ^Marcello Castro, Anthony Wallace (#Isaac Martinez 65'), Dillon Powers (#Ricardo Perez 65'), Nathan Sturgis (^Machael David), Kamani Hill (Nick LaBrocca 46'), Jamie Smith (*David Giraldo 46'), Dillon Serna, Andre Akpan (*Cesar Romero 46')

Animal News Desk / Cathy Kangas
The latest combatant in the carriage horse fight is actor Liam Neeson, who supports having carriage horses on the streets of New York. Perhaps his support is because many of the carriage horse drivers are his compatriots from Ireland. Maybe he's looking for a controversial issue that will help promote his latest film.
Whatever his reason, he has now thrown his hat into the ring. Celebrities in support of the ban include Alec Baldwin, Mary Tyler Moore, Miley Cyrus and P!nk. Neeson may be on the wrong side of history here.
Mayor Bill de Blasio has promised to ban carriage horses in New York City. People will argue that there have been carriage horses on the streets for more than a century. This may be true, but New York is a different city in 2014. It is no longer safe for these horses to be on our streets.
The issue is further complicated by the fact that the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has terminated its law enforcement division. One of its jobs was to monitor the treatment of carriage horses. There are rules governing when carriage horses can be out on the streets when it is either too hot or too cold. The ASPCA could also examine horses to ensure they were being properly treated.
Can we really expect the overtaxed New York Police Department to now look out for the welfare of carriage horses?
There is also speculation that groups petitioning the de Blasio administration to ban carriage horses are secretly looking to obtain the real estate where the horses are stabled. Others maintain that if the ban is enforced the carriage horses will be sent to slaughter.
I will join with other animal protection groups to ensure that the horses are taken to sanctuaries. I have worked for years with Squirrel Wood Equine Sanctuary in Montgomery, N.Y.
Its leaders believe that the carriage horses will be celebrities and probably be adopted. The Humane Society of the United States has offered a home for carriage horses at the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas. None of the carriage horses will be sent to slaughter.
More InformationFact box
The tourism industry is a billion-dollar industry in New York City. Banning carriage horses isn't going to have an impact on tourism.
In fact, I believe it can only help tourism because it positions New York City as a humane place to visit.
Two years ago, when a carriage horse was spooked and bolted, tourists were hurt. This news received worldwide coverage.
Recently, a carriage horse driver was arrested for the inhumane treatment of his animal. This also received international attention.
These stories hurt the city.
De Blasio supports replacing the carriage horses with antique cars. I think that this is an excellent solution and one that should be explored. It would get the horses off the street and offer employment to their drivers.
This is not an issue about jobs or real estate. It is about protecting horses from the dangers of the city streets.
De Blasio campaigned on banning carriage horses and he should keep his promise. The City Council should vote immediately on this issue and end the carriage horse trade.

Thousand Knight Weapon Edit
{{#set:Summary=A rare weapon capable of absorbing the enchantments from other weapons to empower itself.}}
"With a flash of green light, the longsword vanished and only the gauntlet remained, flickering with faint flames for a moment."
Like most artifacts, a thousand knight weapon isn't a single weapon, but rather a group of weapons enchanted with the same power. Unfortunately, in modern times, the secrets used to make these weapons has been lost, but the enduring enchantment of these weapons remains.
A base thousand knight weapon is a +1 magical weapon with a peculiar special enchantment. It is this special enchantment that allows it to do unusual things. This weapon can leech enchantments from other magical weapons into itself to improve its own enhancement bonus as well as leech special enchantments (such as the Keen special ability). Let it be noted that it cannot leech from intelligent weapons or weapons attended to by others. As normal, a thousand knight weapon may still be enhanced via typical means for magical weapons.
|A Minor Artifact
| This item is designed for intended use at fairly early levels. With magical weapons becoming fairly common by around 5th or so, a thousand knight weapon could easily be introduced without unbalancing a character. The tradeoff of having such an item is that instead of selling unused magical weapons, and using the money to increase the enchantment of your weapon, or buy a new one, that loot goes into improving the thousand knight weapon, so long as the looted weapons are compatible.
While artifacts don't have set prices, a fair market value for a base thousand knight weapon is roughly 4,800 gp + the value of the base weapon. Thousand knight weapons with additional bonuses should be valued accordingly.
The wielder of a thousand knight weapon may attune himself to it with an hour of training. Once attuned, the wielder instinctually knows how to use the weapon to draw power from other magical weapons as noted below.
When attuned, the wielder can cast identify 1/hour with a command.
Empowering Itself and Leeching Other WeaponsEdit
This magical leeching requires that the thousand knight weapon be held by the wielder. The weapon to be leeched and the thousand knight weapon must be touching for one full hour as he casts identify. Once the hour is complete, the wielder must be able to identify the weapon to be leeched in order to proceed (since other artifacts cannot be identified, he cannot leech from them). Once identified, the wielder may choose which enchantments to leech. If he reduces a weapon to remove all of its base enhancements, the leeched weapon vanishes in a flash of light and is lost forever.
Increasing EnhancementEdit
To increase the enhancement value of a thousand knight weapon, it must leech off of a weapon with a higher enhancement value. Doing so minimally drains the leeched weapon of a value equal to the thousand knight weapon's current enhancement value +1. Special abilities measured in values of gold pieces are not calculated into this equation. The wielder of a thousand knight weapon may choose to leech a higher value if such a higher value is possible.
- Example: The thousand knight weapon currently has a +2 enhancement bonus and the wielder identifies a +5 light mace and decides to leech from it. The thousand knight weapon must minimally leech a value of +3 from the light mace, leaving it as a +2 weapon. The thousand knight weapon would then become a +3 weapon.
- However, the wielder of the thousand knight weapon may also drain off all +5 from the light mace to become a +5 weapon itself. Though, if he does so, the light mace, without any base enhancement value, is completely leeched and vanishes in a flash of light (even if the light mace had remaining special ability enchantments, such as Flaming).
Gaining Special Ability EnchantmentsEdit
A thousand knight weapon may also leech special ability enchantments. Special ability enchantments come in two varieties: those measured in costs of total enchantment value of the weapon, and those with set prices in gold pieces. These two varieties are treated differently.
A thousand knight weapon only has so much "room" on it for special ability enchantments. We'll call these "slots". A thousand knight weapon gains more slots by completely leeching weapons with more filled slots that it has total slots.
- Example: A base thousand knight weapon has 1 slot, which is filled with its +1 enhancement. Enhancement slots are always filled whenever it gains a greater enhancement, but special ability slots can be left open, or filled, at the will of the wielder of a thousand knight weapon. A base thousand knight weapon leeches a +1 longsword of Shock. In order to gain a second slot to fit the Shock (a +1 value special ability), the wielder must leech the longsword's +1 enhancement as well, since he must minimally drain a leeched weapon of a value equal to the thousand knight weapon's current enhancement value +1. The longsword is completely drained, and then vanishes.
- After leeching the longsword, the thousand knight weapon gains a second slot to be filled by the Shock special ability. Additionally, an attuned wielder may choose to "remove" any special abilities by focusing on the weapon for 1 hour, leaving open slots to be later filled from other leechings. Special Abilities removed in this fashion are lost forever.
For special abilities valued in gold pieces, the wielder of a thousand knight weapon may leech a total of 500 gp worth per +1 enhancement of his weapon. As normal, he must minimally drain a leeched weapon of a value equal to the thousand knight weapon's current enhancement value +1.
A thousand knight weapon may not have duplicate special abilities. Duplicate special abilities are automatically excluded, as are any enhancements that cannot be enchanted upon a weapon of its given type (such as Throwing on a bow), though, the thousand knight weapon may still gain open slots from these special abilities where applicable.
- Example: A thousand knight gauntlet eventually becomes a +2 Holy (a +2 valued special ability) thousand knight gauntlet with an open special ability slot (a total value of +5). The wielder finds, and wants to leech a +3 Keen Ghost Touch Undead Bane rapier (valued at a total +6 value). So, he first wants that +3 enhancement, so he knows the weapon will be completely leeched in the process. He can't keep the Keen special ability, because his gauntlet deals bludgeoning damage, so he instead automatically gains a slot used for something else. His thousand knight gauntlet, after the hour of focus, completely leeches the rapier and becomes a +3 Holy gauntlet with an open slot for either Ghost Touch or Undead Bane. He chooses Undead Bane, filling his now available 6 slots (3 with enhancement and 3 with special abilities). The Ghost Touch is simply lost.
- Optionally, in the process, he could choose to drop Holy and gain Ghost Touch and Undead Bane in its place, leaving him still with an open slot.
The whole process might look something like this:
| Starting
| Leeched
| Finishing
The thousand knight weapon takes on small changes in appearance after it has completely leeched a weapon, such as polish, gemstones or design detailing.
Curses and DrawbacksEdit
Curses and drawbacks automatically transfer over to the thousand knight weapon (regardless of how much of the weapon was leeched off) unless the thousand knight weapon ends up with curses or drawbacks of a conflicting nature, in which case there is a 50% chance they cancel each other out and a 50% chance that the new curse or drawback is ignored.
Final NotesEdit
Thousand knight weapons have a tendency to weaken over long ages when unused. If left unused for over 100 years, a thousand knight weapon reverts to its base form, as presented here.
To determine this weapon randomly, see: Table: Weapon Type Determination and the following tables. Often, thousand knight weapons are made from special materials.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Alex Smith might as well have been playing Paul Newman's part from the seminal 1967 film "Cool Hand Luke" after the Kansas City Chiefs struggled in a preseason loss to San Francisco.
You know, where Newman - playing Luke, a young prisoner - repeats a line delivered by the captain earlier in the movie: "What we've got here," he says, "is a failure to communicate."
Yep, there were plenty of failures to communicate last Friday night.
Smith couldn't get on the same page with his wide receivers. The offensive line may as well have been speaking a different language the way they performed. The collective group was unable to put together a sustained drive all game against the 49ers's salty defense.
Smith was among several players who bemoaned the communication issues afterward. Several others said during practice this week that developing better communication, particularly on the offensive side, has been a priority heading into Saturday night's game in Pittsburgh.
Perhaps it's only natural given the amount of turnover in the roster.
Smith is throwing to a slew of new wide receivers, including A.J. Jenkins, who arrived in a trade with San Francisco just this week. His top two tight ends, Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce, are newcomers to the Chiefs. And he's working behind an offensive line that returns center Rodney Hudson from a season-ending injury and welcomes No. 1 pick Eric Fisher at right tackle.
In fact, just five of the 22 offensive players on the Chiefs' two-deep this week are the same as they were for the final game last year.
Throw in what's basically an entirely new coaching staff trying to install a new offense in a condensed timeframe and it's not surprising that messages get crossed.
"There were a couple plays we had a little communication problem, but you just have to keep doing it," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "There were a couple of plays, and they just have to work through those. That's all part of getting better. You look around and most teams are working that out, figuring that out, and we have to do a better job there, too."
That's especially true along the offensive line.
Even though three starters are back, there is still a perilous lack of experience protecting Smith's hide. Left tackle Branden Albert is entering his sixth season, and that's enough to make him the elder statesman by two years. The five players expected to line up for the opener against Jacksonville on Sept. 8 have a combined 120 starts in just 11 seasons in the league.
"We've got some things we need to fix," said Albert, who was part of the first-team line that allowed Smith to be sacked three times by San Francisco. "We're going to figure this thing out. We got no choice. We have to protect our quarterback to win games."
Part of the reason for many of the problems up front? Miscommunication.
"It's up to the player, the person, how well we jell together," Albert said. "I think guys are fighting every day to do it, but it's a work in progress. Guys are trying, they're working hard. They're listening to their coaches. We're working toward it."
Even the old man of the line is finding it hard, though. He's trying to learn his fourth offense in his sixth season in the NFL, and "probably my hardest one," Albert said.

MONTREAL - Let's address the elephant in the room first: the name of this restaurant is probably the single reason I have avoided this place until now. Maybe there was a brief period in the last decade when the use of the colon and the dropped vowels would have been on point, but by the time Art:Brgr opened in 2011, I think we could call that trend done, unless the enterprise happened to be owned by a grammar contrarian like e.e. cummings. The impression it creates is unfortunate because when I did stop by, in search of an item to feature in my Sandwich Club column in The Gazette's Wednesday Food section, there was a little more going on at this Plateau address than its adherence to the postmodern burger-bar genre would suggest.
The space appealed on a bright afternoon, all wood, light and white, with different seating sections inside, a pool table at the back and a patio out front on this angled section of Gilford St. The menu was less "brgr" than anticipated, with a Middle Eastern current giving it some character. That's due in part to the cross-cultural owners — one Israeli (Alon Biron), the other Iranian (Kaveh Zamani) — who seem bonded by a love of comedy movies, in particular Eddie Murphy's standup (if the names of the sandwiches are any indication; the Gounigougou and Um Fufu were a reminder to watch Delirious and Raw again). Biron, who introduced himself to us, was a lawyer in Tel Aviv before falling in love with a Québécoise and moving here three years ago. His personality seems to infuse the premises and the packaging of the food.
For instance, Art:Brgr presents hummus not just as a dip, but as the basis for a meal. It crowns the rim of a bowl, into which can go items to be eaten with it, ranging from merguez to fava beans. They set the bar high, saying if the hummus isn't the best customers have eaten, don't pay for it. The recipe is from Biron's grandmother, and distinctive from the typical chickpea-tahini blend, with a down-to-earth legume taste, flecks of green herbs, a sprinkle of heat and a lot of sweet. When asked what he added that made it so sweet, Biron put his hand on his chest to indicate his heart. No point pressing the issue.
The hummus plate with shakshouka, a spiced tomato stew with a poached egg, was my favourite; I liked how the runny yolk combined with the moist, lively seasoned tomatoes. We also tried the Moroccan, apparently a crowd pleaser, which brought a mound of crumbled minced beef and slivered almonds with caramelized and cinnamon notes that were too candied for my palate, despite hot pepper sauce that went a ways to combating that. I was taken with the meal concept — served with a refreshing chopped salad and warm slices of big, fat, puffy, robust pita from Abu Lafia on the side — and would happily go back to try more of them.
The sandwich we tried, named for the title character from the Adam Sandler film You Don't Mess with the Zohan, had the Sephardic morning combo of eggplant and hard-boiled egg with plentiful condiments (hummus and other items) reworked on country bread from Mamie Clafoutis, plus slaw, pickle and fries. A whole lot going on, but the result was that special-sauce sort of power to reach all taste sensors simultaneously.
With burgers so widely available in so many variations all over town, who's had a chance to really crave one? Still, I returned to try a couple from a personalized list referencing Biron's relatives and friends. (It helps when you ask for the stories behind the names.) The burgers were good. On a quality bun, the beef patties had enough juice and char to contribute some flavour amid the generous layers of toppings. My Mme. Biron, with avocado, mushrooms and Emmenthal, among the more typical lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle, was effectively balanced. Likewise, the Belle Ezra burger, which I feared might be too sweet with its figs caramelized in red wine, blue cheese and bacon (they're not shy on the bacon here), was well proportioned. The fries were salty, browned and in a drier style, and the standard coleslaw had been slightly adapted, delivering a tickle of hot stuff at the end of each mouthful.
It wasn't just the "oh my goodness is that a deep-fried Mars bar with ice cream on the side, all striped with fruit coulis" that came to us for dessert where I found evidence of a sweet tooth at work in the kitchen — it was apparent in many of the dishes we sampled. But overall, the multi-dimensionality of the flavours and textures, and the Middle Eastern warmth, took this burger bar a bit beyond the mainstream.

Shojin in Little Tokyo rocks the vegan sushi
If you're vegan or if you're all about organic dining and you're looking for a fairly upscale restaurant with an artsy vibe and reasonable prices, you've got to visit Shojin! It's a perfect restaurant for a date or birthday celebration. I would find any excuse to eat there. Shojin cuisine, which is all natural and organic, is based on Buddhist vegetarian cooking. They make the best vegan sushi anywhere (hands down) and their entrees and appetizers are superb. I also want to note that they have excellent service and our waiter was a sweetheart.
My hubby and I went to Shojin last weekend for date night and everything we ate was amaaahzing. We started out our meal with 5 different sushi rolls – don't judge! 😉 We had to try them all. Even though I'm just going to highlight a couple of the sushi rolls, they were all fantastic!
We indulged on the Caterpillar Roll, the Shiitake & Avocado Roll, the Crispy Avocado Roll, the Spicy Roll and the Dragon Roll.
As you can see, they don't mess around with these sushi rolls. Their Dragon Roll has shiitake mushrooms and avocado on the inside, BBQ seitan, avocado and sweet soy sauce on the outside. This sushi made my eyes roll back into my head. It's times like these when I feel extra grateful to be a vegan. Being vegan has seriously never been so easy!
The Caterpillar Roll is very similar to the Dragon Roll. It has BBQ seitan on the inside and avocado and sweet soy sauce on the outside. Isn't it beautiful? I think this was my favorite sushi out of all the rolls. I'm such an avocado freak – this one won me over big time.
After we went to town on the sushi, we both split their Fillet-O-Kara-Fish dish, which is a combination of crispy homemade veggie fish and a seitan nugget skewer served with lemony tartar and miso demi-glaze sauce. Seriously these fish fillets reminded me of crab cakes from back in the day. They were delish beyond my wildest fantasies. And the seitan nuggets – fuggedaboutit! They tasted a lil' barbecuey (which I love) and they complemented the fish fillets perfectly! Shojin definitely masters the art of seitan. I'm one of the biggest seitan worshipers on the planet, and there's no doubt in my mind that Shojin makes the best seitan ever! This meal was divine to say the very least.
And can you believe we still had room for dessert? Well, barely. We decided to try the Chocolate Banana Parfait which was absolutely YUM. It's a Japanese style parfait with 4 generous scoops of ice cream, vanilla and banana almond fudge, topped with chocolate sauce, chocolate tofu cream and fresh bananas. As full as we were, we managed to eat the whole thing!
I highly suggest you make dinner plans (pronto-style) and get your Shojin on! You will be beyond stoked!

What's all this power for ?
I am quite new to the freebsd business so sorry for this stupid question.
But I am just reading the hardware thread and I am wondering what is all this power for. As far as I know FreeBSD it runs faster on a 1 Ghz P3 than Windows on a 3 Ghz P4. But what are you looking for ?
I for my needs am a web developer so the only thing my machine needs to do is processing my code editor, maybe emulate a webserver (so it is divided from the main systme) and do some general stuff, fetching mails maybe write some text but that is not a lot of work to do. There is no video processing no 3d rendering nothing (no gaming on a workstation) so what do I need these fast processors for ?
I am just wondering about those hardware notes, nearly all dual core, what for ? Ok I have a dual core at the moment as well and it is quite nice but for general work I never reach 25 % so why not buy a processor that is about a quarter of what I have at the moment ? sure compiling would be slower, but to be honest I do not compile all the time ...
To make a long story short ? Do you think I would be fine with a 1,5 Ghz processor for a mobile web development ! add about 1 GB and a 80 Gb harddisc enough ?
I am just wondering as I can not imagine what to use these power for ...
So what are you doing with all your high powered computer ?
Regrades Snoop1990
I'll bite.
For myself multi-tasking. I'm requirely downloading bittorrents while watching a video and compiling a program or writting code while encoding another video.
A guy I know who uses windows is amazed by the number of things I can do at once. He says his computer can download and watch a movie at the same time.
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words." -Philip K. Dick
Are there any special requirements to play a dvd or hdtv movie ? system requirements ?
Thanks for fast reply !
1.5 should do just fine. I've got very reasonable performance out of my 450Mhz box. It even boots three times faster than my fathers all new *bling* 64 bit dual core machine that still runs the OS that the vendor supplied it with under the pretense of customer satisfaction. I do recommend reading the hardware compatibility list though.
As for all this heavy machinery these people have, I can say that multi tasking gets addictive. Ya know? It's not that you're compiling and watching movies at the same time /all the time/... it's just good to be able to if you want it
I wouldn't know about HDTV, but for watching DVD's 1.5 should do nicely.
Does anyone remember the HP Jornada? For a couple years I did nearly all my on-the-fly computing with a model 728. More recently I was investigating sustainability practices in computing and managed to put together a Pico-ITX machine that has a 1 GHz, 1 GB DDR2-533 and uses 90 watts. The Jornada runs NetBSD though.
If all you are doing is using a text editor, running a web server for testing, and don't need flashy GUIs with tonnes of eye-candy effects, then a 1 to 2 GHz CPU with around 1 GB of RAM and and 80-ish GB HD is plenty.
The more horsepower you have, the more tricks you can do. But that doesn't mean you need it.

All that power comes in handy for multitasking. I've developed a bad habit of just taking a break from something, and leaving that application running while I do something else. Any Unix operating system has superb multitasking, but the hardware makes a difference. Normally, I'll have some maintenance operation going on in the background, a couple of torrents downloading, vim open for writing scripts or some other code, and a video running in mplayer or music playing in the background via mpd. It does take up a lot of resources. Both my Mac and my desktop/server suffer the same torture. All that power goes into making sure there are enough resources to do all of this.
"UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity."
MacBook Pro (Darwin 9), iMac (Darwin 9), iPod Touch (Darwin 9), Dell Optiplex GX620 (FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE)
The hardware you need is all dependent upon what you need it for. If you had to live through Firefoxes download day, a blazing fast daemon might be good -- for the rest of us almost anything that runs works.
P3 500Mhz, 384MB RAM included 8MB shared with gfx, and an 8GB disk served me as a desktop running PC-BSD (FreeBSD 6, KDE 3.4) running such monsters as OpenOffice, MPlayer, and Mozilla.
The more you have the better, especially if you don't like to wait on application start time!
For most people anything comparable to a P4 2.2-2.4Ghz, 1024MB RAM, and enough graphics memory/disk space for your needs will serve anyone until half way through the next decade as a 'comfortable' desktop machine, unless you live with Redmonds pacman development pattern.
the mental checklist I have is some thing like:
GNU/Linux -- A CPU compatible with your kernel build, enough RAM to boot the kernel, run init, and bash, a display, couple hundred megs of HDD. (various between kernel builds and distro bloat)
MS-DOS (later releases) -> Intel X86 CPU, 0.5-1MB of RAM, 4MB of HDD.
Windows XP -- 2000Mhz i686 CPU, 768MB Memory, 1.8GB+Personal space for HDD, any VESA capable graphics card (8MB is enough video memory)
Windows Vista (a real version) -- 2000Mhz i686 CPU, 2048MB Memory, GeForce 4400 or better graphics card, and since I've never used it 15~40GB + Personal space for HDD judging by their system requirements
FreeBSD 33Mhz Intel 80486DX, 128MB of RAM (less with older kernels), serial port or suitable display device, 1GB disk+Personal space, ports, src on HDD.
NetBSD a functioning power supply, serial port, and bootale media ;-)
OpenBSD (i386) Intel 80486DX, 32-64MB of RAM, 900MB of disk space, serial port or suitable display medium.
and you more or less have a functioning system, pardoning hardware support issues.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
So you all agree that for my needs as described above it is enough to have what I explained ! Thank you for advice.
Regrades Snoop1990
Me? I have a 2.66GHz Pentium D running at 3.4GHz on water cooling, 4gb of ram, and a 8600GTS graphics card, 73 GB Raptor
What do I do with it? I play doom 3. I also compile everything from source, even kde, openoffice, firefox, etc. Often times multiple things compiling so long as they don't try to compile the same dependency.
It is really nice to not have to wait for your system. To click things and bam they are open. To have 25 different windows/applications open and still have no slow downs. Somthing I didn't know I needed until I had it. Now anything less that 2gb of ram on my workstations and I get cranky. My servers on the other hand, 500mhz Sparc IIi with 1GB of ram, 233 MHz Pentium MMX 192mb ram, and both of them are lazy, doing next to nothing in terms of CPU. So I really don't need anything faster there.
This is my *GASP* Windows XP machine also, that I use for gaming, more specifically Guitar Hero III. Believe it or not, my computer is just BARELY fast enough to play GHIII without lag, it lags once in a while but nothing unacceptable. It used to lag really bad until they release the latest patch.
I've been hesitant to upgrade my computer's RAM thinking that 2GB of 4-4-4-12 DDR2 800 ought to be overkill anyway. Tad, did you go from 2GB with your install or, did you install from your initial 4GB?
My setup (Just the important stuff):
AMD Athlon64 X2 Black Edition 5000+ (OC at 3.0Ghz/1.375V), L2 is slower than Windsor's.
2x1GB shika DDR2 800@4-4-4-12 w/1.8V
Seagate Barracuda 320GB 7200.10
Asus M2N-E nForce 570 Ultra chipset
Asus GeForce EN7600GT
Running Gnome/FreeBSD7.0/Compiz-Fusion. Why have this power? Multi-tasking like the others have mentioned. Multi-tasking and the quick switching of Gnome spaces rocks the planet with productivity!
As an aside, can KDE switch spaces like Gnome? (ie, Ctrl+Alt+Arrow). Thanks.
Installed Initial 4 GB, I would say add it in a heart beat, it shouldn't hurt anything. I never use my swap at all and usually have 20+ windows open. (ADD a little?) Only 3.5GB registered but was expected.
This applies only if you use the 32 bit version of course.
I ran into this on a P35/8500/4GB board, and it has been reproduced by many others with other video cards. Works fine with 2GB (or 3GB). There is no reason why this should be chipset dependent, though of course the BIOS settings and their defaults can be.
The power of your machine all depends on what your needs are, my workstation is dual core E8400 3ghz which is also overclocked, all software is compiled from source, i use Virutalbox to run and test other OS, i also have to process my raw images for photography. I have 4gb ram but will be updating this to 8gb mainly for virutalbox and raw processing.
If I can get myself away from WoW I think a eeeBox will fit my needs (I hope it runns FreeBSD).
I for example interest in virtualization (Xen/QEMU/VirtualBox) which you cannot do on some old P3, you need some horsepower 2-4 cores expesially for Xen and (propably more important) extensions that are avialable only in new CPUs, like Intel VT or AMD V to make hypervisor work.
If you do much stuff on your box, like graphics in GIMP and Inkscape its pain to do that even on dual Athlon XP 1.6GHz, I have had such system and I can tell you that now I can breath and just do my job instead of watching the progress bar.
3D may not be that useful on the workstation at the first place, but processing windows/screen content CAN and SHOULD be graphics accelrated, not Compiz or other 3D candy stuff, RAW graphics, toolkits like GTK, all the 2D math should be accelrated by drivers for GFX card, unfortunelly FreeBSD does not cope very well here, even on open source Intel graphics.
You can check gtkperf bemchmark to see the diffrence between vesa and accelrated GFX driver.
Also if you do many things at a time with some tasks in backgound dual core or just old plain SMP with dual P2/P3 or even SPARC system makes a lot of sense, much better comfort for the work.
Also (Open)Solaris likes memory and horsepower much more then FreeBSD which I recently ofter use..

This article brings up some of the operating environments that are getting on board the sustainability bandwagon.
I've experimented with different ways of achieving "green" compliance in our data center and the primary means of cutting down on power as I've seen it has been in reducing machines and employing virtualization. CPU throttling during off-peak times, when we usually perform backups and do automated maintenance, meant that the machines took longer to perform those tasks before idling down again. I've had good luck with vendors like Dell and CoolerMaster that have some PSUs that rate above 80% efficiency. There's a list of efficient PSUs at www.80plus.org/manu/psu/psu_join.aspx.

James Franco raves about Stewart's Snow White in online essay
One-time Oscars host James Franco has written an online essay confessing his admiration for the work of Twilight star Kristen Stewart.
The studious 127 Hours star was so blown away by Stewart and co-star Charlize Theron's new movie Snow White & The Huntsman he took to The Huffington Post blog to rave about the performances.
He wrote, "Some might argue that Stewart – or any young upstart buoyed by the surge of a successful franchise, album, or internet meme – is just as unjustly charmed. Some could say she had a lucky break when she was cast in Twilight and then rose to international stardom based less on her own skills than on the success of the project.
"But, whereas Snow White would more than likely be inarticulate, diseased and frail after being confined in a tower for 10 years, Kristen Stewart landed Twilight after years of working with some of the best directors in the business (David Fincher, Sean Penn). She actually does deserve the crown."
He continued, "The images of Snow White as a leader of immense strength, charging on horseback across the beach at the head of an army, has less to do with her character and more to do with the actress who plays her."
It seems Franco also admires the way the 22-year-old actress copes with life in the glare of the spotlight as one of the world's most famous young stars: "Stewart has braved more scrutiny of her private life than most presidents. She has taken big career risks by doing films like Welcome to the Rileys, The Runaways and On the Road (nudity, I hear). She has worked her a** off. Whatever Snow White may be, Kristen is a warrior queen. Give her the crown."

Producing it has been anything but simple -- but after a lot of time and research, solar power is promising to get us closer to that goal than we've ever been before, and fast. Solar power systems, also known as photovoltaic systems, generate power by energy conversion and storage in solar cells inside photovoltaic modules. Traditionally they're produced in panels that are protected from the elements with glass in the form of the most commonly encountered collection method solar panels.
Solar power systems have a compelling case in becoming the next big alternative energy source -- but their development has been halting. A quick look around the Internet reveals as many research dead ends as it does real breakthroughs, and because of soaring silicon costs, installing a photovoltaic system on a residential dwelling can cost as much or more than a luxury hybrid car. For most people, solar power just isn't as sexy. At the same time, enough sun falls on the surface of the Earth in a day to meet our global energy needs for a year -- if we could convert a portion of that every day, the effect would be life-changing for our communities and for our planet, so finding ways to improve the technology and a way to entice consumers has become the all-consuming task of the alternative energy sector.
As the science has finally started to catch up with our ambition, the results look like they could change how we power almost everything in our lives. One of the biggest problems has been efficiency: Only about 12 percent to 15 percent of the energy that hits a typical solar panel is converted into energy. But with new technologies aiming to improve those numbers and lower costs, solar power and its systems are poised to jump into the lead -- and to move from supporting roles to viable alternatives.
Companies such as MiaSolé and Nanosolar have been making technological leaps and bounds in recent years -- both are developing cheap, thin conversion technology that their investors are anticipating will help bridge the consumer divide. MiaSolé has made breakthroughs by developing high-efficiency, nonsilicon, flexible technology that approaches 20 percent conversion efficiency in lab tests. Nanosolar was named TIME magazine's No. 25 best invention of 2008. Its thin-film solar panels work on the same principles as MiaSolé's product, but Nanosolar's panels are produced as a foil that can be cut to any size and are produced by running them through something of an elaborate printing press rather than being baked like the panels with which the public is familiar. Nanosolar shocked the alternative energy market this year when it announced in August that it has raised more than $300 million for startup and production, which has it working with roughly six times as much funding as competitors.
And then there's the hot alternative energy niche within the photovoltaic market to consider: integrated solar systems. Photovoltaic systems that are flexible enough to be integrated into clothing, vehicles and building construction is where much of the research is being focused today. In these integrated systems, the photovoltaic system is a primary power source, but it's also a fundamental part of the makeup of what it's powering.
The emerging options range from streamlined roof-mounted systems to having the outside of a building completely covered in a durable and sleek solar system. Your shingles themselves could gather solar power, or you could have semitransparent panels instead of windows. The options in this market are ever-expanding, and while grid parity may not currently be a reality in the United States, as it creeps closer the companies that are already integrating this technology into their construction are poised to reap the rewards.
To really understand the widespread support behind this clean technology and its small-scale impact, one has to move outside Silicon Valley. In Kenya, solar power is a no-maintenance way to bring power to remote and isolated areas that has changed the way villages and businesses operate. Unlike traditional grid electricity, once the system is installed there are no access fees, no parts to break, no maintenance required. Solar World East Africa rents discounted light-powering solar kits to low-income Kenyans, and sells small family power packs that can provide light and give a 10-hour charge to a transistor radio. Similarly low-tech, in Ohio the Amish are the highest per capita users of photovoltaic systems. Technological decisions are made as a group, and some Amish communities have decided that because solar energy allows their communities grid independence, it's one of the best options they've found so far.
With research racing at a breakneck pace, hope and discoveries are building toward solar power becoming the best option, for low- and high-tech users alike, within the next 10 years.

Rough start to the expansion with the main quest being a bottleneck. How?
Pop into Stormwind, quest appears.
Wander into the castle, cinematic ensues, quest updates and says to go to the airship.
Go to Airship, struggle to click on quest NPC (remembering Cata release, I adjusted my keybinds to target friendly NPCs and interact with them).
Another cinematic.
Gotta hop into the gyrocopter to attack the Horde.
Again, clickie is surrounded by people, lots of lag.
Pop on gyrocopter – snicker at people still unable to click on the vehicle.
Zip out to start shooting orcs and shredders.
There must be 100+ other gyrocopter pilots… overlapping me with a few thousand more already on the rails circling the Horde base. Ugh.
Woot! I manage to kill a few orks despite all the lag and other people shooting at the same targets.
Log back in – on airship need to click on gyrocopter through the masses.
Happens a couple of more times.
Third time is the charm – I manage to finish off what I need and now I land.
More lag trying to target wagons to explode.
Group up and get it done after several disconnects.
Get the rest of that area done and move on to the first village.
Much less lag.
After that things improved a lot and I can't really complain aside from the odd error (when switching to alts to log them out in an inn to let the rack up some rested XP) that says, "Cannot find character." Another downside is Stormrage is wicked full right now – queues of over 1000 people.
Focused on the Rogue mainly and nearing the end of the first zone – sitting at level 86 (just a smidge into it).
That's a slower pace than I would have previously gone at. I've been a little busy and I'm not rushing to raid level or anything. Just playing when I can.

Chinese club Guizhou Renhe have opened talks with Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard, according to reports.
Renhe's deputy board chairman Yang Xiayou was quoted today saying the club were in contact with Lampard but that no deal had been done. It followed reports in which the club's chairman Dai Yongge had claimed Lampard would join them as captain in January.
Lampard's agent declined to comment on speculation about the midfielder's future when contacted and Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo dismissed the link to Renhe when the subject was raised in a press conference following Chelsea's Barclays Premier League match against Liverpool yesterday.
According to reports, Chelsea are not prepared to offer more than a one-year extension to Lampard, who could secure a lucrative payday to finish his career elsewhere.
Former Stamford Bridge team-mates Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka did just that when they joined Shanghai Shenhua this year on contracts said to earn them in excess of £250,000 a week.
Lampard has been linked with a move to China since March, while he has been touted for even longer as a big-name replacement for David Beckham in Major League Soccer.
Renhe, who are based in China's south-western province of Guizhou, qualified for the AFC Champions League for the first time last season following a fourth-place finish in the Super League.
Lampard, who realised his ambition to win the Champions League in Europe last season when he captained Chelsea to their Munich triumph, has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay at Stamford Bridge.
But he has also admitted to concerns about the lack of contact from the club over a new deal in recent months.
He has not played for the Blues since aggravating a calf injury in their Champions League defeat at Shakhtar Donetsk almost three weeks ago and is a doubt for their potential make-or-break Group E showdown at Juventus next week.

I've been thinking about Dorothy's eventual death since she took ill last year, so I've had plenty of time to plan - though I've had no real sense of how Bud would react. He loves his fish, and he talks about them like they're family members. He offers frequent, unprompted declarations of his affection for them: "I love my pets Dorothy and Stevie!" But I didn't want to project onto him what he should feel or inspire uncertainty where none existed, so I decided I'd just react as events unfolded.
For the past couple of weeks we've been watching Dorothy struggle to stay upright as her gills and tail began turning black. I've been planting small seeds with Bud: Dorothy is very sick. Not the regular kind of sick - a different kind of sick.
Yesterday afternoon Bud was playing on the computer and Nana came upstairs to let me know that the end was near. I broke the news to Bud.
"Remember when we talked about Dorothy being very sick? Not regular sick?"
"Well, honey, now she is dying. That means it's time for her to leave us and go to heaven."
"And she will be back soon?"
"No, sweetie. She doesn't get to come back from heaven. She has to stay in heaven, where she will be very happy and she won't be sick anymore. Do you want to go downstairs and say goodbye to her?"
"Goodbye to Dorothy?"
"Stevie's friend?"
"Yes. And we can tell Stevie that it will be okay and that we'll take care of him."
So down the stairs we went. Dorothy was lying on her side near the bottom of the bowl, barely breathing.
Bud peered in and put his nose against the side of the bowl. "She's sleeping?"
"No, honey. She's not sleeping. She's dying. It's almost time for her to go to heaven."
"Goodbye, Dorothy," he said. "We'll miss you."
"We love you, Dorothy," I added.
Bud turned to me. "I can go back to computer now?"
"Sure, honey."
Dorothy died about 30 minutes later, and Nana removed her from the bowl. I told Bud that Dorothy was gone, and asked him if he wanted to go talk to Stevie. He said no.
Poor Stevie is a wreck. He's spent most of his life being bossed around the bowl by the bigger, more dominant Dorothy. It was startling to watch as, over the past few weeks, Dorothy started shrinking and Stevie became the fish in the power position. But he continued to defer to Dorothy, trying to nudge her to the surface when it was time to eat, falling still as she lay struggling for breath. Now, without her, he's darting crazily around the bowl, all bulging eyes and twitching tail.
Bud, in contrast, is serene. He hasn't asked about Dorothy, and he's given Stevie only a fleeting glance. We told him that Dorothy is in a happy place, and it seems he has taken us at our word.
We had planned to buy another goldfish to try to ease the loss for Bud, but as it turns out Bud is just fine. I guess we have to turn our attention instead to the family member who needs it most.
The question is: how do we figure out how to ease the loss for Stevie?

For a small business owner, using qualified plan dollars to purchase life insurance protection is a strategy that can satisfy a variety of needs. It's also a step that can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth transitioning of the business upon the owner's exit. Using pre-tax dollars to purchase an asset that provides for a tax-free benefit can make the cost of life insurance protection much more affordable, but clients need to understand the different tax treatments that apply to life insurance when it is purchased through a qualified plan. Further, strict rules and limitations apply when life insurance is held in a qualified retirement plan, making it essential that your client has all the facts in order to ensure that a life insurance funding strategy is a success.
The Tax Benefits (and Complications)
While life insurance generally cannot be held within a retirement plan, an exception exists for life insurance policies that are held by qualified profit-sharing plans. This exception opens the door to a particularly useful strategy for small business owners because purchasing a permanent life insurance policy with qualified plan dollars can provide an attractive method for funding a buy-sell agreement that will govern in the event of a business owner's death.
While the premiums paid on a life insurance policy outside of a qualified plan may not be tax deductible, when the policy is held within the qualified plan, premiums are paid with pre-tax dollars. This can allow the client to purchase more life insurance protection than would otherwise be affordable and can lower the cost of insurance protection for a client that is in poor health and can qualify only for a more expensive policy.
The policy premiums are paid with pre-tax dollars, but it is important that the client understands the IRS will consider the pure cost of life insurance protection provided under the plan to be an economic benefit that is taxable income to the client. The cost of insurance protection that is taxable is calculated using IRS tables and is generally provided by the insurance company that issues the policy.
Further, if the client dies while still participating in the plan (i.e., prior to retirement), the portion of the proceeds that exceeds the policy cash value will be received tax-free, but the portion of the death proceeds that represents the cash value of the policy in excess of the basis in the policy is taxable.
The Incidental Benefit Rule
Though life insurance may be purchased with qualified plan assets, strict limitations imposed by the IRS require that the life insurance protection be only "incidental" to the retirement benefits provided by the plan. (Note that IRAs and Roth IRAs are not qualified plans and, as such, cannot be used to purchase life insurance protection).
In the case of a defined contribution plan, the IRS rules provide that if a whole life product is used, the premiums paid must represent less than 50% of the contributions that the client makes to the plan. Further, if a universal life product is used, the premiums paid must be less than 25% of the contributions that the client makes to the plan.
If defined benefit plan funds are used to purchase the policy, the client may elect to satisfy a different requirement, which provides that the life insurance is considered incidental if the client's death benefit is no more than 100 times that client's expected monthly retirement benefit.
Removing the Policy from the Plan
One possible downside to the strategy is that the life insurance policy may be held only within the plan while the client is a participant in the plan, which can create complications depending upon the client's circumstances at the time of retirement or plan termination.
One way to remove the policy from the plan is via a distribution of the policy to the insured when he retires (or if the plan is otherwise terminated). The downside to this option is that the client must then include the cash value of the policy that is distributed in his income in the year of distribution. Further, if the client has not yet reached age 59½, the typical 10% early distribution penalty will apply.
Another option that clients can consider is surrendering the policy and rolling the proceeds over into an IRA, but the client must be aware that, depending on the terms of the policy, withdrawal penalties may apply if this option is chosen. However, by rolling the surrender value into an IRA, no immediate income tax liability is generated.
The policy can also be sold to the client or to a grantor trust established by the client, which avoids creating current income tax liability so long as the policy is sold for fair market value. Of course, the risk of choosing this option is that the client must be able to fund the purchase at the time of retirement or plan termination.
Purchasing a life insurance policy within a qualified plan can provide a tax-advantaged method for small business clients to transition their business ownership, but a careful examination of the strict rules that apply is necessary to ensuring that the strategy will succeed for each particular client.

2012 Omnibus Survey of New York Residents on Utilities
AARP's New York State Office, in response to its commitment to ensure affordable electric rates and consumer protections for all residents, commissioned questions on the Empire State Poll to explore the views of residents regarding utility affordability. New York residents express concern about the rising cost of heating/cooling their homes and report that they have experienced an increase in their heating/cooling bills.
Survey highlights include:
- Nearly two-thirds (62%) of New York State residents report that in the past two years, their housing heating or cooling bill has increased.
- More than one-half (53%) of New York State residents age 18 and older are extremely or very concerned about their heating/cooling bill going up.
AARP commissioned the Survey Research Institute at Cornell University to conduct this telephone survey with New York residents age 18+. The survey was conducted between February 22 and April 29, 2012 and a total of 800 interviews were completed. For more information, contact Cassandra Burton at 202-434-3547.

Hollywood star Richard Gere has split from his wife, actress Carey Lowell, according to a report.
The "Pretty Woman" star has separated from his spouse of 11 years, former Bond girl and "Law & Order" regular Lowell, and is moving forward with plans for a divorce, reports New York Post gossip column Page Six.
A source tells the publication that the stars, who have a 13-year-old son named Homer, have been "spending time apart for quite some time".
Gere, 64, was previously married to supermodel Cindy Crawford, while Lowell, 52, has been wed twice before.
A representative for the couple has yet to comment.

I was just wondering...
When exactly was magic banned from Roawia? Was it like during our father's lives...or our father's father's lives? or further?
Was it banned when the three brothers seperated because it says "and to destroy anything that smelled like magic" is this when magic became banned?
It might be a good idea to set this time period.

This statement being so apropos in regard to our recent consecutive snow falls. Our winter weather continues to be cold and very white. Although, you have to admit that the snow is very pretty as it laces our trees and roofs with sparkling white flakes.
Our new little Christmas tree is especially picturesque, being so symmetrical and beautifully trimmed in shimmering white. Thanks again to our Department of Parks and Recreation and our Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski for giving us this, our little Blue Atlas Cedar. But in spite of the frigid weather, snow and ice, our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue from Dexter Court to 100th Street was busy "Taking Care of BIDness."
There were shoppers shopping and eating out on our "Everything Avenue." Even though it was slippery if you were walking, and difficult to park if you were driving, it was worth it just to get out. I think that we needed this break for our psychological well being. We were getting stir crazy.
This burst of shoppers really helped our store and business owners, who are suffering because of the bad economy and bad weather. So now think positively, only 20 days to daylight savings time, when it stays lighter later, and only 31 days until spring, with sun and warmth.
Now get your tax papers together and have your taxes prepared locally. Make sure that you use a reputable long standing company, one that will be here at the same location next year.
The WBID still has decorative benches available to be placed in front of our Jamaica Avenue stores and businesses. So next time you are shopping or doing business, suggest to the owner that they get one of these free benches in front of their location. Please have them call (718) 805-0760 or (718) 805-0202 for information.
The negligent owner of the collapsed building at 78-19 Jamaica Avenue, with thousands of dollars of violations, is now being sued. With all of the heavy snow, we are thankful that this property has not collapsed further. Before it does, it should be demolished.
A big thank you to Assemblyman Michael Miller and State Senator Joseph Addabbo for our Forest Park surveillance cameras. The tentative locations are on Forest Parkway by the tennis courts, Park Lane South and Woodhaven Boulevard and by Victory Field. Also, a big thank you from the WBID to Councilman Eric Ulrich for the Jamaica Avenue surveillance camera to be installed at 75th Street. These cameras will further secure our Jamaica Avenue and our beautiful Forest Park. These cameras should be installed in the next few weeks (weather permitting).
Don't accept being battered. Call the Queens District Attorney Domestic Violence Unit (718-286-6550), NYS Coalition Against Domestic Violence (800-942-6909 for English, 800-942-6907 for Spanish), Domestic Violence Hotline (800-621-HOPE), or Safe Horizons (718-725-6578).
New York's restaurant week has started. More on this next week.
May God bless our leaders, may God bless our armed forces, may God bless our disabled veterans and may God bless our America.
