I put this post in the peoples forum as well.
Hi forest folk its Andy (Garden Andy) here.
I just wanted to put forward an idea to you.
As you are aware (or maybe not) I work for the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (please don't hate me for it!). I was thinking that, seen as the new applications are coming out (some are already out) and the fact that most of the Forest is made up of students, would a workshop (or weekly meeting) where students or prospective students come in and can talk to someone face to face (me) about funding be a good idea?
i can help fill out application forms and answer any queries for people.
I'm writing to you to get some feedback as I've never put on a workshop before. If it can even be seen as a workshop that is!
Anyways write and tell me what you think, and whether it's feesable. If so I'll set about sorting it out.
Please note that these workshops would not be a place where people can come and shout at me about funding in this country! hehe. If you want to do that write to the Scottish Ministers...they make the rules not me.

May 22, 2019 (Reuters) Television comedian Volodymyr Zelenskiy took the oath of office as Ukraine's new president on Monday, promising that as hard as he had worked in the past to make Ukrainians laugh, he would now work to keep them from crying. As his first act, he dismissed the parliament still dominated by loyalists of his defeated predecessor, setting up an election in two months in which his new party has a chance to win its first seats. The inauguration day was marked by informal moments that conveyed the outsider persona that helped carry the political novice to a landslide victory last month.

Zelenskiy high fived cheering supporters who held their arms outstretched outside the Soviet-era parliament building, and stopped for a selfie with the crowd. At one point he jumped up to kiss a man on the forehead. He later eschewed a motorcade to make his way to his new office on foot. "Dear people, during my life I tried to do everything to make Ukrainians smile," he said in his speech to parliament. "In the next five years, I will do everything, Ukrainians, so that you do not cry." But there were already signs of friction with a political class in which Zelenskiy has few allies. Parliament is still dominated by the bloc named for Zelenskiy's defeated opponent Petro Poroshenko and smaller parties founded mostly as personal vehicles for political insiders. The decision to dissolve parliament prompted the resignation of Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, who came to power in 2016 as part of Poroshenko's coalition. Groysman said he was stepping down to fight the upcoming snap election. "I proposed to the president, the parliament, that we together form a new agenda and very quickly begin to make decisions that would make Ukraine stronger. The president has chosen a different path," Groysman said. Zelenskiy grew to national fame playing the TV comedy role of a schoolteacher who unexpectedly becomes president after a pupil films him making a foul-mouthed tirade against corrupt politicians and posts the video online. His campaign exploited the parallels with that fictional narrative, portraying him as an everyman who would stand up to a crooked political class. In his inauguration speech, Zelenskiy called on officials to take down the customary portraits of the president that hang in their offices, and put up pictures of their children instead.

Gojira Announce Title, Release Date for Upcoming Album
French metal act Gojira, easily one of the most buzzed about and beloved extreme bands of the past five years, have revealed L'Enfant Sauvage as the title of their Roadrunner Records debut. The title translates to "The Wild Child." The album, which features 11 tracks, is scheduled to land in stores on June 26.
"When you become a musician, you don't have a boss telling you what to do so you have to be very responsible," singer/guitarist/songwriter Joe Duplantier said, shedding a little light on the title and its meaning. "With freedom comes responsibility, so I'm asking myself, 'What is freedom? What does it mean to me?' L'Enfant Sauvage reflects on that. There's no answer though. There's just life and questions."
A special collector's package of L'Enfant Sauvage will feature two bonus tracks and a double-colored vinyl version of the record, along with an exclusive t-shirt. Pre-orders will launch here shortly.
The track listing for L'Enfant Sauvage is as follows:
1. Explosia
2. L'Enfant Sauvage
3. The Axe
4. Liquid Fire
5. The Wild Healer
6. Planned Obsolescence
7. Mouth Of Kala
8. The Gift Of Guilt
9. Pain Is A Master
10. Born In Winter
11. The Fall

|Condition or disease
|Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult
ALI/ARDS is a life-threatening condition that involves inflammation of the lungs and fluid accumulation in the air sacs, which leads to low blood oxygen levels and respiratory failure. Common causes include pneumonia, septic shock, and lung trauma. Symptoms usually develop within 24 to 48 hours of the original injury or illness, and most patients require immediate care in an intensive care unit (ICU). The main form of treatment for ALI/ARDS is the delivery of oxygen and a continuous level of pressure to the damaged lungs through mechanical ventilation. Past research has shown that lower tidal volume ventilation (LTVV), a protective ventilator management technique in which lower volumes of oxygen are administered, improves short-term clinical outcomes in individuals with ALI/ARDS. However, the long-term impact of LTVV remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of LTVV on long-term outcomes in individuals with ALI/ARDS.
This study will enroll individuals admitted to an ICU who have been recently diagnosed with ALI/ARDS. Once enrolled, participants' medical records will be reviewed for demographic and medical information. Participants will be examined to determine level of cognition and delirium. Questionnaires will be used to assess the participant's status prior to ICU admittance, including level of hearing, physical functioning, quality of life, employment, and living status. Questionnaires will be given to participants as well as a close contact to increase the reliability of feedback. While in the ICU, participants will receive normal clinical care. Data on laboratory tests, mechanical ventilator settings, arterial blood gas values, and medical status will be collected throughout the ICU stay. Information regarding the medical staff-to-patient ratio and the use of different medical treatments and therapies will also be collected by reviewing medical records and interviewing nurses. Follow-up evaluations, lasting approximately four hours each, will occur 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months following the ALI/ARDS diagnosis. At each follow-up visit, participants will undergo a physical examination, and standardized surveys and tests will be used to assess medical outcomes, organ impairment, pulmonary function, mental function, and quality of life. If participants are unable to return to the research clinic for the follow-up evaluations, visits may occur at their home or over the phone.
The original 2-year follow-up duration, for which participants were consented, was subsequently extended to allow 5-year follow-up. In recruiting these previously consented participants into the 5-year follow-up extension, they will be randomized to selected recruitment strategies (e.g., different mailing and telephone strategies) in order to gain insight regarding the most effective methods of recruiting participants.

The psychology of art is an interdisciplinary field that studies the perception, cognition and characteristics of art and its production. It is related to architectural psychology and environmental psychology.
The work of Theodor Lipps, a Munich-based research psychologist, played an important role in the early development of the concept of art psychology in the early decade of the twentieth century. His most important contribution in this respect was his attempt to theorize the question of Einfuehlung or "empathy," a term that was to become a key element in many subsequent theories of art psychology.
Scope[edit | edit source]
In the narrow sense, there is no discipline "the psychology of art," for unlike other branches of psychology, with their numerous academies and research programs, there are few Psychology of Art programs in the universities. Nonetheless, the literature on the topic is extensive, given that the issues addressed by art psychology have attracted both professional psychologists as well as non-professionals; it has attracted those who write about the arts, including music and architecture, and those who produce it.
The general principles that guide most of the work in art psychology are
- that art is perceptual and that it can thus be studied by asking questions about our perceptions.
- that art operates in a cultural continuum and that one can come to terms with the continuum through analysis of art.
- that the production of art is a meaningful enterprise and as such is an important avenue by which one comes to terms with human creativity.
Art psychology developed in opposition to 19th century philosophical aesthetics which approached art by first asking about beauty and metaphysics. For most art psychologists, beauty is culturally or socially contingent. Art psychology was, however, also developed initially in opposition to Husserlian phenomenology which made no normative judgments about meaning. Most branches of art psychology emphasize the primacy of consciousness, but there are variants which engage the question of the subconscious. Generally speaking, however, those interested in the psychology of art express an optimism about art and its meanings that moves them away from the concepts discussed by Freud.
History[edit | edit source]
1880-1950[edit | edit source]
One of the earliest to integrate psychology with art history was Heinrich Wölfflin (1864 – 1945), a Swiss art critic and historian, whose dissertation Prolegomena zu einer Psychologie der Architektur (1886) attempted to show that architecture could be understood from a purely psychological (as opposed to a historical-progressivist) point of view.[1]
Another important figure in the development of art psychology was Wilhelm Worringer, who provided some of the earliest theoretical justification for expressionist art. Richard Müller-Freienfels was another important early theorist.
Numerous artists in the twentieth century began to be influenced by the psychological argument, including Naum Gabo, Paul Klee, Vasily Kandinsky, and somewhat Josef Albers and Gyorgy Kepes. The French adventurer and film theorist André Malraux was also interested in the topic and wrote the book La Psychologie de l'Art (1947-9).
1950-present[edit | edit source]
Though the disciplinary foundations of art psychology were first developed in Germany, there were soon advocates, in psychology, the arts or in philosophy, pursuing their own variants in the USSR, England (Clive Bell and Herbert Read), France (André Malraux, Jean-Paul Weber, for example), and the US.
In the US, the philosophical premises of art psychology were strengthened - and given political valence - in the work of John Dewey.[2] His 'Art as Experience was published in 1934, and was the basis for significant revisions in teaching practices whether in the kingergarten or in the university. Manuel Barkan, head of the Arts Education School of Fine and Applied Arts at Ohio State University, and one of the many pedagoges infulenced by the writings of Dewey, explains, for example, in his book, The Foundations of Art Education (1955), that the aesthetic education of children prepares the child for a life in a complex democracy. Dewey himself played a seminal role in setting up the program of the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, which became famous for its attempt to integrate art into the classroom experience.
The growth of art psychology between 1950 and 1970 also coincided with the expansion of art history and museum programs. The popularity of Gestalt psychology in the 1950s added further weight to the discipline. The seminal work was Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and Growth in the Human Personality (1951), that was co-authored by Fritz Perls, Paul Goodman, and Ralph Hefferline. The writings of Rudolf Arnheim (born 1904) were also particularly influential during this period. His Toward a Psychology of Art (Berkeley: University of California Press) was published in 1966. Art therapy drew on many of the lessons of art psychology and tried to implement them in the context of ego repair.[3] Marketing also began to draw on the lessons of art psychology in the layout of stores as well as in the placement and design of commercial goods.[4]
Art psychology, generally speaking, was at odds with the principles of Freudian psychoanalysis with many art psychologists critiquing, what they interpreted as, its reductivism. The writings of Carl Jung, however, had a favorable reception among art psychologists given his optimistic portrayal of the role of art and his belief that the contents of the personal unconscious and, more particularly, the collective unconscious, could be accessed by art and other forms of cultural expression.
By the 1970s, the centrality of art psychology in academe began to wane. Artists became more interested in psychoanalysis and feminism, and architects in phenomenology and the writings of Wittgenstein and Derrida. As for art and architectural historians, they critiqued psychology for being anti-contextual and culturally naive. Erwin Panofsky, who had a tremendous impact on the shape of art history in the US, argued that historians should focus less on what is seen and more on what was thought.[5] Today, psychology still plays an important role in art discourse, though mainly in the field of art appreciation.

13) Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes and Choice of Law.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
WE BOTH AGREE TO ARBITRATE: You and NYRR agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms through final and binding arbitration, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate NYRR's intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights). Under such circumstances NYRR may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
WHAT IS ARBITRATION: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced.
ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in front of one arbitrator. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this TOU, the rules set forth in this TOU will govern. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. To initiate arbitration, you or NYRR must do the following things:
(1) Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com.
(2) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee to: JAMS to your local JAMS office or to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111
(3) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If travelling to New York is a burden, you may participate in the arbitration by phone or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator. Each party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys' fees). Arbitration under this agreement shall be held in the United States in New York, NY under New York law without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR: The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and NYRR, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and NYRR.
NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and NYRR in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND NYRR WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
Choice of Law/Forum Selection
In any circumstances where the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes permits the parties to litigate in court, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of law rules. You further expressly consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of a court of competent jurisdiction located in New York, NY.

In a wide-ranging interview on May 23, Raymond James' Chet Helck provided an update on the company's line of credit products and spoke of how the recent acquisition of Morgan Keegan will provide benefits to all of Raymond James' advisors. He also addressed the importance and the challenges of applying a fiduciary standard to all professional advice givers.
Speaking in Orlando at Raymond James Financial Services' professional development national conference, Helck, the head of RJ's Private Client Group, reported that the line of credit offering, which he said was rolled out in March specifically for use by high-net-worth clients, was "more of a defensive strategy than an offensive" move.
Bigger banks were providing similar services, he said, making loans for the wealthy, often business owners or other professionals, and using as collateral the client's liquid securities. "We can't outspend the bigger banks, but we can be nimbler," Helck said. He noted that the rate of the loans, made through Raymond James Bank, are based on the amount of collateral pledged, not the amount of the loan.
That's just one example of how Raymond James is aligned with its advisors and their end clients, Helck said. That's also where the Morgan Keegan acquisition, finalized in April, will benefit advisors. "Clients are interested in munis," Helck said, and "we'll have a menu" of municipal bond solutions that advisors across Raymond James' various channels can access. However, Raymond James itself won't provide any "encouragement" to advisors to recommend or sell those bonds. While Raymond James does have "a little product," its roots and its current focus are "in the financial advisory business."
Turning to regulatory issues, Helck said that "the world is moving in a direction to a higher standard for those giving advice to the public," and that for Raymond James, "we see that as no problem" if a fiduciary standard is imposed. However, he argued that "the devil is in the details." And while "the world is saying, we want to know" the details of any transaction, doing what's best for the client "doesn't mean it's always the least expensive."
Moreover, there are issues with extending a '40 Act fiduciary duty to all reps. That duty "was designed to cover discretionary accounts; it doesn't work in non-discretionary" accounts, he said, pointing out that "most advisors have multiple accounts." Principal trades are also "forbidden under the '40 Act," which is a problem for broker-dealers who have, for instance, municipal bond inventory. By selling odd lots of bonds to clients, the firm is putting their interests first, because those clients are gaining access to discounted bonds which only institutions could usually afford. The broker-dealer, however, "should be paid" for providing that service to end clients because otherwise "you're going to lose money on that inventory." That means, Helck concluded, that "we've got to write a new rule," which he suggestesd could take some time to accomplish.

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Chronic nasal congestion can be a constant struggle that disrupts sleep, especially during the fall and winter when cold and flu season hits, but the truth is it could be the bedroom that's causing congestion and this is a problem that can be fixed.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121010/NY86543 )
Breathe Right Nasal Strips is teaming up with Trish Suhr, Emmy-winning cleaning expert from Style Network's Clean House, and Dr. Michael Breus, The Sleep Doctor, to show nighttime nasal congestion sufferers how they can create a more "Breathable Bedroom," offering clean-up tips for the fall to gear up for the winter and showing how to improve the quality and quantity of air you breathe to ultimately get a better night's sleep.
"As someone who suffers from nasal congestion, I know how important it is for a bedroom to be clean and organized. Your bedroom – and what's in it – can disrupt your sleep and make you feel congested, impacting your next day," said Trish Suhr. "Fall clean-up is a great time to rid your bedroom and home of items that collect and trap a lot of dust, dirt and allergens and can lead to a stuffy nose."
Expert Bedroom Clean-Up Tips for Fall:
"There's no better or more critical place to start improving breathing than in the bedroom, it's where you sleep and get your energy for the next day," said Dr. Michael Breus. "When you combine the relief of Breathe Right Nasal Strips with a bedroom designed for better quality air, you can breathe better and ultimately sleep better through the night."
Breathe Right Nasal Strips are a simple solution to a better night's sleep for nasal congestion sufferers. They are drug free and clinically proven to lift nasal passages and open the nose, relieving nasal congestion and improving air flow. The strips consist of flexible, "spring-like" bands placed across the nose. They gently lift the sides of the nose and open the nasal passages, providing immediate and continual relief.
Breathable Bedroom Contest
To help millions of Americans exercise their right to breathe better and sleep better, Breathe Right Nasal Strips is launching the "Breathable Bedroom" contest. The contest is designed to allow nasal congestion sufferers – who night after night sleep in an "unbreathable" bedroom – an opportunity to win a breathable bedroom and a Skype interview with Dr. Breus and Trish Suhr.
To enter the contest, nasal congestion suffers can submit a photo and caption on the "Breathable Bedroom" tab on the Breathe Right Facebook® Page, sharing what makes their bedroom "unbreathable" or "congested." Other prizes awarded to the winner include items such as a new bed, new pillows, a cleaning service and a one year supply of Breathe Right Nasal Strips.

High School Graduation Rates, Out-of-Wedlock Births and Median Family Income
Politics 101
Colleges use Affirmative Action to Increase Diversity because only 66.1% of Blacks Graduate from High School
Interest rates recently went up for student loans. Something that greatly angered the left. Blaming the Republicans for playing politics with our children's future. For a college education is the pathway to a good, high-paying job. A college education is so critical to a person's future success that everyone should have access to a low-cost student loan. And because a college education is so important this should not be a privilege of the rich. Or whites. Colleges should use affirmative action to ensure a diversity of students. Because our differences, they say, make us better.
Yes, a college degree is important. And the data backs this up. The median family income in 2009 for someone with a bachelor's degree was $90,530 (see Table 698. Money Income of Families—Distribution by Family Characteristics and Income Level: 2009 posted on census.gov). Those with only a high school diploma earned $48,637. While those who didn't graduate from high school only earned $31,119. So clearly a college degree is the pathway to a good, high-paying job. Of course, to get that college degree you first have to enroll into college. And to do that you need to graduate from high school. So graduating from high school, then, is the gateway to those good, high-paying jobs. Which, as it turns out, is the reason we need affirmative action to ensure that diversity of students.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (see National public high school graduation rate at a four-decade high by Lyndsey Layton posted 1/22/2013 on The Washington Post), not everyone is graduating from high school at the same rate. Looking at the breakout for three races we find that Asians are graduating 93% of the time. Whites are graduating 83% of the time. While blacks are graduating only 66.1% of the time. Which explains the need of affirmative action admission policies to achieve diversity at our colleges and universities. For when blacks are only 13% of the population and only 66.1% of them are graduating from high school you're not going to get a lot of diversity without affirmative action.
Married People with College Degrees have Higher Median Family Incomes than Unmarried High School Dropouts
Going back to the Census data we can see a correlation between these high school graduation rates and median family income. Those with the highest graduation rate (Asians) earned $75,027. Those with the next highest graduation rate (whites) earned $62,545. While those with the lowest graduation rate (blacks) earned $38,409. Which clearly shows that high school graduates earn more than high school dropouts. And because Asians and whites have higher high school graduation rates than blacks they have higher median family incomes than blacks.
So we know that to earn a decent income you need a college degree. And to get that you need a high school diploma. But is there anything else that has a big influence on a family's median income? As it turns out, yes. Going back to the Census data we see that a family with a married couple earned $71,627. A male householder with no spouse present earned $41,501. While a female householder with no spouse present earned only $29,770.
If you want to earn a lot of money, then, the way is clear. Graduate from high school. Go on to college and earn a degree. Then settle down. Get married. And raise a family. A common thread at every stage of this pathway is personal discipline. Staying in and studying instead of going out and partying. And once you start working start a family. For the heavy responsibility of raising children keeps people from staying up late and partying with friends. Get's them to work on time in the morning. And drives them to advance in their careers to provide more for their families. Things employers like in employees. Making it easier for these people to climb the career ladder.
The People with the Highest Median Family Income also have the Lowest Out-of-Wedlock Births
A child growing up in a household with a married couple where at least one has a college degree will probably learn the values of his or her parents. To work hard. Exercise self-discipline. And work towards a long-term goal. Don't take the easy way. Don't take the fun way. Make sacrifices now that will help you attain your long-term goals. And it starts with studying and doing your homework. For a high school diploma is only the first bridge to cross of many to come. And if you don't get across that first bridge you will advance no further down the road towards a good, high-paying job.
The family structure, then, is key. A child needs to learn the values that will let him or her exceed in life. And a married couple provides twice the parenting of a single-parent household. And doubles the earnings potential. By allowing one parent to pursue a full-time career. Which leads to greater income. Without having to sacrifice parenting time. Or risk burning out from trying to do everything alone. And the numbers prove this. According to Census data (see Social and Economic Characteristics of Currently Unmarried Women With a Recent Birth: 2011 posted on census.gov), the number of children being born out-of-wedlock differ greatly across the above three racial groups. Asians have the lowest out-of-wedlock births at 11.3%. While whites come in at 29.2%. And blacks come in at 67.8%.
The people with the highest median family income also have the lowest out-of-wedlock births. Confirming that the path towards a high-paying job is a high school diploma. A college education. Being careful NOT to have any children until you're married. And after you graduate from college and establish a career get married and raise a family. In other words, personal discipline. Sacrificing short-term fun. For long-term success. Suggesting the reason why blacks earn a lower family median income than most is because of their high out-of-wedlock birthrate. Young black women having children before they graduate from high school. Which prevents them from crossing that first bridge on the road towards a good, high-paying job. Making her life more difficult. And giving her children a distinct disadvantage. At least, based on the Census data.

White House says Obama would sign short-term debt limit bill
WASHINGTON -- President Obama likely would sign legislation allowing the government to continue borrowing to cover obligations in the short term, even if it is not coupled with a measure reopening the government, a White House spokesman said Thursday.
"He wants Congress to do both. He wants Congress to fulfill both of its responsibilities," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. "If Congress takes action without partisan strings attached, that would be a good thing."
Later asked if Obama would sign a debt-limit bill without an accompanying spending bill, Carney said, "yes."
The comments came hours after House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) proposed a six-week debt limit increase. Such a measure would remove the threat of federal default when the government runs out of borrowing authority sometime around Oct. 17. Boehner's plan would be linked to a commitment by Obama to negotiate with Republicans over the budget, but would not be tied to any concrete changes in policy.
FULL COVERAGE: The U.S. government shutdown
Boehner's decision constituted the first clear sign that a budget standoff may be reaching an endgame, although it was unclear whether his plan would find broad support among conservatives in his own party. It also remains unknown whether Senate Democrats, who are meeting with Obama on Thursday afternoon, will accept Boehner's plan as is or seek to add a measure to reopen government agencies that have been closed since Oct. 1 because Congress has not passed bills to provide funds for them.
The president repeatedly has said that he won't negotiate with Republicans on the budget until after Congress reopens the government and lifts the threat of a federal default. Obama, along with Senate Democrats, prefers a longer debt limit extension, Carney said, but would not hold out for a longer-term deal as long as no policy amendments were attached.
"If a clean debt limit bill is passed, he would likely sign it," Carney said.
The spokesman resisted the suggestion that signing such a bill would force the president into negotiating with Republicans while the government was shuttered.
House Republican leaders were due to meet with the president later Thursday, a meeting Carney cast as a "conversation" not a negotiation. The president would not offer concessions, Carney said.
"They don't get anything in exchange for holding the economy hostage," he said.
