Stature and Status: Height, Ability, and Labor Market Outcomes
The well-known association between height and earnings is often thought to reflect factors such as self-esteem, social dominance, and discrimination. We offer a simpler explanation: height is positively associated with cognitive ability, which is rewarded in the labor market. Using data from the United States and the United Kingdom, we show that taller children have higher average cognitive test scores and that these test scores explain a large portion of the height premium in earnings. Children who have higher test scores also experience earlier adolescent growth spurts, so that height in adolescence serves as a marker of cognitive ability. (c) 2008 by The University of Chicago.

Lisa Marie Presley: There's nothing worse than celebrity offspring
After a seven-year hiatus from music making, rock 'n' roll heiress Lisa Marie Presley is back with her own voice. Storm & Grace is her third studio album, and it's nothing like her previous albums -- the pop-centric To Whom It May Concern (2003) and Now What (2005). Here, she is a bold songwriter, with lyrics that spare no one -- not even herself. Her low, husky voice was born into the blues, and at long last, she's letting things flow naturally.
Gimme Noise spoke to Presley about the process of delivering an album like Storm & Grace, what it's like touring with her 3-year-old twin toddlers, and updates on the rest of Elvis' grandchildren.
Tell me about Storm & Grace. You get really personal in your lyrics, and it sounds like you're really coming into your own as a songwriter.
This record happened when I was getting rid of a lot of elements in my life, kind of deconstruction and reconstruction. I went to England and got into songwriting and collaborations while there. I felt like I was just kind of needing to be around genuine people.
Tell me about the song "Un-break." You have the lyrics: "I've got run over by my own parade, I've suffocated in the beds I've made." Are you referring to anything specific?
Yes. You know, it was just kind of a rough period in my life. I was really aware of everything and everyone around me, people that I thought of as friends, and they were not making my life better in any way. It's that silly thing that happens sometimes, and I felt like I needed simplicity.
This album definitely digs into your roots side, as compared to your previous albums, which were far more pop-oriented. Tell me about this transition in sound.
Well, it was all during that period of turmoil. I just got rid of a lot of things. It was like starting at ground zero. I was in another country, and I needed to do something really drastic. I was writing throughout that entire process, so it came really organically. It wasn't like, "This is a rootsy album" or anything like that. It was just sort of this experimental arena... and then song three came with a vengeance, you know, and it was really natural and organic.
I read that your son, 19-year-old Benjamin, is an aspiring bassist and might join you on tour.
Not right now. This is a really rigorous, small tour -- it's only a two-week run -- and I think he might later, but he's got his own stuff going on, too.
What are your feelings about your son being part of the music lineage?
I want him to do the work and get really good at it. I don't want him to be a celebrity -- not that he would be, because that's not who he is. I really want him to absolutely go into it. He knows that there's nothing worse than celebrity offspring, because they don't have to do the work, but for me it's important for him to work hard and be really good [at playing]. That's how I've raised all my kids.
Speaking of your kids, Riley seems to be doing really well. She hasn't joined in the music industry, but her modeling and acting career seems to be taking off.
Yeah! She's in Namibia in Africa at the moment, filming Mad Max. She's doing that for six months, and it's been really hard. We're texting constantly. We'll probably we'll see each other in Graceland -- you know, we have the house there -- in September, but that's months away. I'm not really away from my children for that long. We're all usually back and forth [between California and England] every four or six weeks, so this is hard. Until one of them gets married, I want them with me!
Sounds a little like my mom!
[Laughs] I know! I'm mortified. I don't care how old they are, though. Until they're ready to marry someone who will be with them and commit, I want them with me.
Tell me about your twins, Finley and Harper. You're 44, and the mother of a pair of 3-year-old twins. How are you finding the freshness of motherhood, and how is it having them on tour with you?
I think that I'm really grateful for having them. They've had our undivided attention for three years. This tour is a specific window; they aren't in school yet, so it's okay for them to be traveling with us. It's mostly a balancing act, really. I'm thrilled to have them and to do it again. At times, it's stressful... We did three shows in 24 hours a couple days ago, so I wasn't seeing them as much, and they don't love that. It's just literally balancing all the time. One minute I'm sound-checking and the next I'm running back to check on them from a nap. I'm wearing one hat and then the next minute it's off. It's getting a bit tedious for them, I think, being cooped up in hotel rooms for a lot of it, but it's also been great having them. I need them around. It keeps me sane.
Lisa Marie Presley at the Fine Line Café on Tuesday, June 19. Doors 7 p.m. Show 8 p.m. $20. 18+.

It is a chant, like so many other chants, that starts with one solitary voice. But a second later, the packed, steamy shoebox of a basketball court at the Collegiate School sings and claps in unison, the crowd of about 200 sounding more like 20,000 and is clearly audible on the street three floors below.
"I believe," the chant starts. "I believe that we will win."
It is more than just something for the student body to yell at the Upper West Side Ivy League school. It is also the attitude the Dutchmen, the defending state Federation Class B champions, have when the fourth quarter comes around.
"Winning the championship last year definitely gave us a swagger," senior Christian Fisch said. "Even though we lost a couple of key pieces, we still carry that with us. We know we can get the job done."
On Wednesday afternoon Collegiate proved that in a big way, defeating perennial powerhouse Poly Prep, 49-46, in a critical Ivy League game.
"This was one of our best wins for the simple fact that we shot so poorly," said Collegiate coach Ray Voelkel, whose team shot 1-for-14 from 3-point range. "But we gutted it out at the end and we defended very well until the final couple of minutes."
No one came up bigger down the stretch than Fisch, who seemed to clone himself in the final few minutes because he was all over the court. Whether it was a critical 3-pointer to extend the Dutchmen's lead, grabbing a loose ball or an offense rebound off a missed free throw, Fisch was there.
"It's not unusual for him to come up with a big play like that," Voelkel said. "He's really a tremendous athlete. He's not a leaper per se, but he runs the floor better than any kid I've coached and I've had some good athletes."
Fisch scored a team-high 14 points, but it was some of his intangibles that proved to be the difference for the Dutchmen.
"Christian has a terrific understanding of how to play," Poly Prep coach Bill McNally said. "He plays bigger than he is, he plays faster than he is. He's smart beyond his years for a high-school player."
Also coming up big for Collegiate (17-3, 9-1 Ivy League) was Harrison Green, who struggled offensively, but did a great job defensively to limit Blue Devils scorer Alex Goldfarb to just six points.
"He was known as our best 3-point shooter, but he has become our best guard defender, as well," Voelkel said of Green. "Harrison has been invaluable for us in terms of being the stopper on the other end."
Max Warner scored a game-high 22 points for Poly Prep (8-6, 5-4), including six points in the final 19 seconds of regulation. After being fouled on a 3-point attempt from the top of the key, Warner knocked down his first two free throws to cut the Blue Devils' deficit to 48-46 with 4.1 seconds left. He intentionally missed the third shot, putting the ball hard off the rim and backboard.
"It seems like the last few games we've got to make one more play," McNally said. "I'm hoping as time goes on, we'll make a few more plays."
But Collegiate's Will Bartlett grabbed the rebound and went 1-of-2 from the line with 3.6 seconds left, opening the door for one last desperate equalizing heave for Poly Prep. Warner took the shot, but let it go about a second too soon and missed from the corner of halfcourt as the Dutchmen celebrated another league win.
"This," Fisch said, "was a big one."

Reviews for Big Dog Ranch Rescue, Inc.
One year ago tomorrow we adopted CASH. He was delivered to us here in Pennsylvania by BDRR. A few days after he arrived we took him to our vet for a well check and I remember dr. Paul commenting what awesome condition he was in considering he came from a rescue. He has brought life back into our home after losing our dear Ms. Suzie 6 months prior to his arrival. It was a pleasure dealing with BDRR from beginning to end. A very special THANK YOU to Kristen Cowling for her help in the adoption process and for her friendship since, checking in with us along the way.
I fel in love with the ranch after adopting my dog in 2012. I have since volunteered a few times at the ranch and have felt so grateful each time. It's hard to beat hanging out with incredible dogs and getting to call it "volunteering"
Best experience on the adoption. Payin the $300. was a bit high for me however after all the care our puppy received after we brought her home was amazing. If you add up all the vaccinations you get all the visits not to mention the microchip, spayed. You add everything up and $300 is nothing. Please visit Big Dog rescue. You'll be glad you did.
My husband and I adopted two puppies back in October 2015 (Layla and Biscotti- now Winnie and Walter). The process went smooth and the people who work there were all so helpful and amazing. Our pups are 6 1/2 months old now and they are awesome! We are so happy with our decision to support and adopt from BDRR! Their love and support of these animals is incredible!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
Our experience with BDRR was great, we adopted our dog 4 months ago when they were having a event at petco. We're so happy we walked in to petco that day, Blu is such an amazing dog just like all the other doggys that need homes from BDRR! Other than them not knowing too much info on blu's behavior, like if he would be okay with cats (he was, which was fantastic), they made the whole process easy; we got to take him home right then and there and everyone was super friendly! They really care about the dogs there and I look forward to start volunteering there soon and adopting another dog in the future!!
My boyfriend and I had been wanting to adopt a dog together for some time. After months of research though, we just couldn't find quite the right dog or rescue for us. I happened upon BDRR by chance, and after seeing some adult dogs that looked promising, we made the 3 hour drive over. Even during the process of the move to their new location, everything was incredibly organized! The dogs had so much space to run and play and looked so happy, which was surprising for rescue dogs who can sometimes look sad and lonely! They had so much information and sat down with us to be sure we could find the perfect dog for us.
We didn't find any that really seemed interested in us/ones that would be cat friendly, but were told that there was one puppy left from one of the dog's litters. Olympia immediately locked eyes with my boyfriend and snuggled in his arms, covering his face in kisses. Before we knew it, we realized we were taking a puppy home!
I absolutely love BDRR; the volunteers are so kind and want to make sure you take home the perfect dog for you and your family. They aren't focused on making a quick buck; they are focused on providing forever homes to their resident dogs, and being sure they are happy and lives even while in the shelter. Thank you for helping us find our beautiful girl Midna!!!
We adopt rescues, but truth be told, they rescue us. We adopted our latest little Chi "Sprout".
We are so in love with him we can't imagine our lives without him. His sissy "Zena" is so glad to have a friend again.
Big Dog Ranch interviewed us and we had a visit with Zena at the ranch before we were allowed to officially adopt him. I am so proud of the work they do.
I am also relieved they do more than just hand out dogs to whomever passes their doors.
The volunteers and staff really DO love animals and care about each one that comes to them.
Thank you from our combined hearts.
We adopted Jack last weekend, and he is so happy! Feels good to give a dog a living home after he's been through so much!!!!
Was looking for a perfect pup for our family and bdrr allowed us to find her. We couldn't be happier with our baby

I rescued a dog from Big Dog Ranch Rescue after i lost my dog to lymphoma. When i arrived at the ranch, i asked the adoption coordinator which dog was the sweetest small dog they had and she took me right to *Joseph*. I fell in love instantly. He had been abandoned in a home and when Big Dog Ranch got the call about him, they didn't hesitate to take him and a team of volunteers went right over and rescued him. He had been with Big Dog Ranch Rescue about 3 days when i saw him and just knew that he would help feel the huge hole in my heart after losing my other dog. His name is now Squish. They do a great job, take really good care of their dogs and really help to make sure that people are matched with the right dog.

The 12-year-old All-Star District 73 bracket will be stacked this season and the Turlock National squad is a reason why.
If last year's state run for the Turlock American 12-year-old All-Stars felt like enough, it wasn't, because this team wants to surpass last season's success and build off it.

Cerah Moren of Pitman High School participated in the New Balance High School Outdoor Track and Field National Championships on June 17 in Greensboro, NC, earning her a sixth place finish.

That was the first thing I did. I talked to collections, confirmed it was paid off in full, then my banker called the underwriter and asked that this be added to the application and to their system.

I paid more of my cards today besides the sears cards

Is this still high util?
It takes time for the banks to update their records accross all systems. Since the underwriter has the documentation/confirmation that the collection was paid it should go through.
You have an 11% utilization ratio based on the listed balances and credit lines. That is good. Just make sure the CRA are reporting current information. Sometimes they lag.

The Trash Pack Came to Ki's Birthday Party
We had a fabulous time at Ki's birthday party on October 8th and there is…
After writing the post I wrote yesterday and listening to readers commentary, it dawned on me that maybe my opinion on the whole matters discussed weren't really being heard. Today I take a moment to explain where I stand, as a whole, regarding parents needing to parent their children and schools handling what they should handle.
Number One – I agree wholeheartedly that parents need to be parenting their children, parents need to be held accountable to handle their mean children and parent them to be well rounded, compassionate, respectful little human beings. I agree 100%.
With that being said, sadly we live in the day in age where many parents feel it's the outsiders responsibility to raise their children. I am not lying when I say that about half a year ago I heard my fiance tell me story of this Mom who basically cited that the "police can raise my son, I am done trying" or something like that. I in no way feel it's our public service officials job to raise our children, that includes the school systems. What you will find, though, is that most of these mean and cruel kids have been "raised" {term used lightly} by mean and cruel parents. So what is the school to do about that? Sure the school can go and discuss matters with the parents, but that child will probably get beat at home, be treated poorly and never really be sent the right message that they cannot be cruel and mean to others. Instead, the children will be filled with more rage, negative emotions and come back to school being more mean and cruel.
It's a sad cycle of today's youth.
Number Two – I agree that some of the articles cited online and in my article yesterday pertain to private school systems. I also have seen articles about some religious schools decisions. Whether we agree or disagree on the proper way to handle it, reality is that those type of schools are out of our hands in control. Many choose those type of schools for that strict structure and balance for their children.
Rules are rules. Sure as adults we realize there are some rules we can bend here and there, but overall with the youth being the way they are today – most raising themselves and their siblings. The elders in our school systems have to be strict on rules because the parents are not. Again, it's not the schools responsibility to raise our youth. I totally agree. It is however, the schools responsibility to hold those who have broken rules accountable, such as a bully. To tell the child who was using a My Little Pony lunchbox that he can't bring it simply because other children were picking on him, is wrong. The children that were picking on him needed to be handled and have a note sent home to their parents. The wrong message with that story, I firmly feel, was that a child who was doing no wrong gets punished while the mean and cruel kids get no or less of a punishment than what they deserve.
It's a sad cycle of not wanting to offend parents in our society today.
Number Three – The school systems wouldn't get as much flack if the parents were raising their children instead of having children raise themselves or being their children's friend. Parents are to raise kids, we are not here to befriend our children. NO way is that EVER a good idea.
You don't even know how many "party moms or dads" I ran into back in my partying days. Those parents were the "cool" parents, the ones everyone went to because you could get free beer. It was great from a teens perspective, but as a parent? I realize just how wrong that is. Today's youth do not need anymore friends, they don't need to think an elder is a friend. We are suppose to teach our children that elders who try to befriend them have something wrong with them. How on Earth can an elder have something in common with a teenager? They can't. I am noticing that the school systems are sadly left to handle these troubled youth on their own because the parents are not willing to parent their children. So it's no wonder the school systems are left juggling and trying to find that balance when handling mean and cruel kids. I will be honest, I firmly believe that a majority of mean and cruel kids either have mean and cruel parents or live in a very negative environment. Negative breeds negative. Positive breeds positive.
It's a sad cycle of parents becoming parents before they are willing to be selfless and put their kids needs first.
In all honesty I think I covered my thoughts based on comments from readers yesterday, but just in case you are not sure where I am coming from …. here's my point in a short version;
Parents need to parent their children. Schools need to be able to trust parents to do their jobs so that the school can do theirs. Schools need to hold students accountable for bad behavior, instead of making good kids pay for the ill behaved children. Parents are responsible for those youth that they bring into this world and parents are the ones to teach life lessons; not the schools.
When my kids are at school, I expect the teachers and school staff to take care of my kids and if they see something going on like bullying, they need to take care of it. I want to be notified of course, but they need to handle things.
Robin (Masshole Mommy)´s last blog post ..Things I Don't Understand
I agree with you Robin! I teach them the best that I can, but when they are at school, I cannot watch them and that is where the teachers come in. If someone is being bullied, or whatever, the teachers need to address it and let the parent/s know.
Shop with Me Mama´s last blog post ..12 Mouth Watering Meals To Make For Your Family
Such a huge problem, but I think this sums it up best "sad cycle of not wanting to offend parents".
So glad my daughter graduates this year and we can put this behind us.
deb´s last blog post ..Mealtime with Ragú & a chance to win a trip to Italy
It is a sad cycle and it seems like whatever the problem is, it just keeps getting repeated because that is what people learn. Like the saying, we live what we learn. I think the major problem is that people do not see themselves as offenders of these issues. Hopefully your post will get through to a few people.
Sue´s last blog post ..Warmer Wednesday!
Oh That is true too. Not many people are willing to look in the mirror and cite their own issues that they can fix. I am constantly a work in progress, I have an open mind every day to adjust and adapt in ways that will benefit me as an individual, my children and anyone else I have to work with each day. Being able to admit and work on flaws is something too many lack. The reason I say that is that I am commended every single time I meet with a teacher, or a psychiatrist for my son, or anyone working with me kids for being open minded and willing to adapt, they say it's rare they get to work with parents like me these days.
I believe in parents raising their own kids and I also believe that the school needs to be the ones that help guide them and keep them on track. Schools are meant to teach education but they are also there to keep them on track with how to be a good human being in this world we live in.
aimee fauci´s last blog post ..Ashley Wins the First Day of School- Book Review
I wouldn't last 5 min in a public school system as a teacher these days. NO way. Every kid is NOT outstanding. They aren't all special. They shouldn't get a good grade for trying.
No BOSS in the real world will give you a raise or promotion because you show up for work. YOu have to EARN it.
It's scary what lies ahead for our society
The parent teacher boundaries are difficult to deal with. My son is two years old, and I hope that his teachers do a good job with him at his preschool.
Krystal´s last blog post ..Peppery Shrimp Salad Recipe
With things happening at school like bullying, I think it has to be a combination of the school and parents. The school can't expect parents to handle things during the school day while the child is not with them but the parent does need to address the issue at home after the school has done their part.
Toni´s last blog post ..Quaker Breakfast Shakes Are Perfect For Busy Mornings #QuakerShakes #sponsored
I understand what you're saying and it's sad when parents and teachers can't communicate because the teacher is worried about offending. My daughter is not in grade school yet so it's going to be interesting to see first hand.
Karen´s last blog post ..How To Setup A Home Bar
I totally agree. Parents need to act like parents. It's not up to anyone else to set the VALUES of our children – but parents also need to have the confidence and trust to let others help enforce the rules. I see too many parents interfering with teacher's classrooms and rules – there needs to be some sort of common ground.
My Daughter is a teacher, one parent told her that she wanted to meet to talk about her teaching technique, because her son was misbehaving in class and was not getting his work done.
When I was teacher I had a student who was failing almost everything. When I asked the parents about his homework and reading they said (and I am not kidding or exaggerating) "Learning is an at school thing, that is your job. He doesn't need to read anyway, he is going to play pro football." I can't tell you how many notes about bullying went home and came back with a who cares note. I don't know the answer to this problem, but obviously it is a huge one!
Aimee Smith´s last blog post ..Easy Sunflower Cupcakes
Parents do need to parent. I don't expect the school to do that part of my job for me. Though I also think schools do need to address some of these issues, just because it's impossible to just teach the subjects and not consider the whole child.
Shell´s last blog post ..I Stopped Yelling at My Kids and Now They Are Better Listeners
I totally agree with everything you've said. I definitely think schools need to address SOME issues, and parents need to step up to the plate and stop their kids from being nasty at school. Unfortunately though, a lot of the time the kids that are acting out have a far from perfect home life to learn from 🙁
Chelsea´s last blog post ..day to night outfit

Lisa´s last blog post ..Smellcome to Manhood Giveaway: Chance to WIN an Old Spice Kit (Ends 4/4)
I totally agree with you. I also think you're spot on about why schools are left to do the disciplining.
If my child has done something wrong to another child, I want to be notified so that I can follow up with the instruction, punishment, whatever at home.

Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama´s last blog post ..755+2 = Love
When it comes to raising my kids since they're not always with me I think it's best when the teachers/babysitters/etc and I work together for the greater good of the individual child. Not all parents or all teachers/sitters/mentors/coaches feel the same though.
Jennifer Bullock {MommyBKnowsBest}´s last blog post ..Top 10 Uses for Blankets All Year Long
As a parent I am always concerned and paranoid when my child goes to school. I am confident that the school staff and her teachers are doing their part in keeping my child safe. I don't think it's their responsibility to raise my daughter but I do think it's their job to protect her and keep her best interest in mind while in their care.
Jessica´s last blog post ..Simple Solutions For Busy Parents + #WIN A Keurig Special Edition Brewer! #JustBrewIt
I take full responsibility for raising my child but I would really like to see more of a team approach with the schools. Kids spend a significant amount of time with their teachers so teachers can have a great deal of influence. As they say, it takes a village to raise a child. I'm not with my daughter every moment, so I depend on other people to let me know about the good things she does as well as the opportunities to learn.
April @ My Real Food Family´s last blog post ..Favorite No Bake Desserts
Parents definitely need to parent their children. Do not have a child if you're not going to take the responsibility of raising them!
Melissa´s last blog post ..Disney's Animation Research Library: Old Classics Meet New Technology #PirateFairyBloggers
I'm glad you're writing about this and addressing it. It's a sad cycle and just seems to be getting worse. I pray every day when my girl goes to school that she will be treated with respect and not picked on. If you're going to have kids then you need to raise them and teach them right from wrong. I'm just speaking generally, not to you. The collective you 🙂 I hope this post gets around.
Tiffany (Fabulous Mom Blog)´s last blog post ..The Pirate Fairy and a chat with the filmmakers

Melinda@LookWhatMomFound…andDadtoo´s last blog post ..Silly Monster Faces for Kids #craft
Totally agree that parents need to parent. I have several friends that are teachers and the problem they have is that not only are parents not parenting, but the school administration will not actually discipline the children. Teachers are left with disruptive students and can not teach anyone.
Christina S´s last blog post ..Easter Basket Ideas for Baby
If parents would do what they are supposed to and schools would do what they are supposed to we would avoid a lot of problems. However, there will always be people who don't do what they need to for their children. Just keep setting an example and working to teach your own children how to behave no matter what.
Keikilani´s last blog post ..30 Was a Fabulous Year!
That last one touches home. I saw kids with parents like that in high school. Those kids grew up to raise kids like that too. I believe so anyway, since they post their pictures of them partying with their high school kids. I don't understand it at all.
Rosey´s last blog post ..Daddy & Co Bathtub Book & Rubber Duckie (review & giveaway)
I do hear what you're saying but don't entirely agree. I don't think all children that are hurtful to others are necessarily taught it. What they aren't taught are things like respect, consideration, and acceptance. I was bullied dozens in high school. The school didn't do anything about it. Parents weren't told so they couldn't intervene if they so chose. Now I have a son with special needs. I hear kids throwing about insults and using the word retarded inappropriately and incorrectly all the time. They weren't all taught to do it, I believe many were just never taught what is acceptable behavior.
valmg @ Mom Knows It All´s last blog post ..Not Exactly #WordlessWednesday With Linky – The Messages Sent With Pants
Parents do need to parent first and foremost. A parent doesn't have to be a child's friend.
Jenn @ The Rebel Chick´s last blog post ..Walking With Dinosaurs Blu-ray Combo Pack #Giveaway #WalkingwithDinosDVD
I agree that parents *should* parent their children and teach them right from wrong and how to treat others. However, we'd be naive if we thought that's how it worked in every house with children. So, sometimes the schools do need to step in and teach children important character building skills. They also need to enforce rules that keep all students safe from bullies and the like.

I so agree with you. We need to take on the philosophy of it takes a village and we all need to do our part.

I agree with you 100%! I think that parents need to start stepping up or stepping out of the way! If you aren't going to parent you r child so many couples would love to be given the gift of parenthood!
Amanda´s last blog post ..Free Ebooks
I definitely agree that parents need to parent. But if something happens at school I think the school needs to handle it. Sure, I need to be notified, but schools can't expect a parent to come to the school to take care of a situation.
Amanda Her´s last blog post ..Join Dove Deodorant & Change the Way the World Sees the Armpit
I think the My Little Pony lunchbox incident is horrifying. I fully believe that the wrong message was conveyed to both the child with the lunchbox (you have to conform) and the children picking on him (we will not make an effort to stop you, or have your parents stop you). I do fully agree that parents need to parent. I also expect that my children's teachers will guide them in correcting bad behavior they witness, and let me know about it so that I can deal with it at home.
Katie´s last blog post ..Five Tips for (Less Stressful) Weeknight Dinners (without a single take out order on the list)
I don't understand why parenting has changed so much and kids get so much slack from their parents. It's frustrating when the schools back down from parents, even though they're right.
Liz Mays´s last blog post ..HP LIVE Demo Event #HPShowandTech + Tweet To Win $50 Walmart GC Giveaway
I went to a private Christian school for middlr school. I remember the teachers saying we are your parents when you are here.
Parents need to address their children being bullies and schools should holed parents accountable.
Janeane Davis´s last blog post ..Catch it All Now at Best Buy
I know that there have been many occasions where there have bullying situations in the schools my daughter has attended that were just completely ignored by teachers. It's bad when a kid asks for help and they are told not to be a snitch.

I believe in parents raising their own children. I don't expect my child to learn how to behave from their teachers. Their first teachers have been me!
Stefani´s last blog post ..Words From Captain America Movie Producer Kevin Feige
Teachers are responsible for what happens under their care. They aren't just teachers, they are guardians for that time during the day. If they have to offend a parent to make sure my child is safe, then that's what they need to do.

this.x = event.stageX + (initial.x - initial.stageX); // Move the left edge to the left
this.width += oldX - this.x; // Increase the width to compensate for the move to the left
But that makes the right side jump around, and generally looks ugly.
What is the "right" to do this? Is there something fundamental I've gotten wrong?
Edit: The jitter occurs on the right side of the component. When I set
this.x, the component moves to the left, the screen redraws, then the width is updated, and the screen redraws again.

Two fun things to come from baseball's owners meetings in Presque Isle, Maine (no, we're lying; it was held at a warm-weather resort like they always are). One was expanded replay plans with a three-challenge system for managers, pushed sufficiently by other owners to convince commissioner Bud Selig to follow the crowd of the people who pay his salary.
[RELATED: MLB to expand instant replay in 2014]
The other is Selig's plan for baseball to get personally involved in the impasse over stalled stadium plans in . . . wait for it . . . Tampa St. Petersburg. He didn't say anything about loaning out his floating blue ribbon panel to study the problem, as it is still diligently working in the 53rd month of the conundrum that is Oakland/San Francisco/San Jose. Blue ribbon chair Hello Kitty said progress is being made toward picking the right font and stationery for the report, which is still scheduled for OH SHUT UP THERE IS NO BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE DOING ANY WORK ON THIS.
But Tampa will be fine. A little public official bribery, a little arm-twisting, and before you know it, a new hideous stadium that will be obsolete in 10 years will be built at taxpayer expense. You see, some blue ribbons are built better than others.
But back to replay. Unlike most people, I want the same number of calls missed because I embrace chaos. But what I don't want is umpires with quick trigger fingers. I want Earl Weaver with his hat backwards conjugating the F-bomb in the face of Ken Kaiser, with his own hat backwards and conjugating the F-bomb right back. I want good old-fashioned screaming matches that reduce the dignity of both managers and umpires. I want dirt kicked on legs, and I want fans to tell their children, "This is why I am ashamed for our species."
And I'm not a worshiper of old-time baseball verities either. I just hate both sides of the replay argument, and most of the people who incessantly shout about it, because:
(A) They never stop arguing about it, or for that matter about the Hall of Fame, or performance enhancing drugs, or postseason awards, or statistical analysis, or even stirrups vs. socks, and (B) because they argue the way managers and umpires used to, loudly, profanely and without any desire to reach a sensible accommodation. They not only want to be right, they want their enemies to be wrong, and they want them to feel lousy about it along the way.
And damn it, if it's good enough for people we don't care about arguing about numbers and trophies and plaques and footwear, it surely must be good enough for the ones we do on a play at the games you pay to see. And you know what we like to say – what's good for the cop is good for the informant.
I think the phrase here is, "It's on now."
The World Track and Field Championships in Moscow have become the training site for the gay rights debate at next year's Sochi Olympics, with a few athletes delicately making their feelings clear on gay rights, and at least one, Russian pole vault champion Yelena Isinbaeva, making hers known out loud after winning the event for the third time.
"If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people," she said in English (so no mocking her syntax, as it is not her native language). "We just live with boys with woman, woman with boys. Everything must be fine. It comes from history. We never had any problems, these problems in Russia, and we don't want to have any in the future."
She was unhappy that Swedes Emma Green Tregaro and Moa Hjelmer had pained their fingernails in rainbow colors to show their solidarity for gay rights and to quietly oppose Russia's anti-gay laws.
"It's unrespectful to our country. It's unrespectful to our citizens, because we are Russians. Maybe we are different from European people and other people from different lands. We have our home and everyone has to respect (it). When we arrive to different countries, we try to follow their rules."
Oh yeah. This is definitely on.
And finally, the Arena League just took some of Gene Simmons' and Paul Stanley's money and created the newest franchise, the L.A. Kiss. Honest. The Kiss.
Makes me wish the Wu-Tang Clan had bought a team while Ol' Dirty Bastard was still alive.

Hirschsprung disease; patients with both conditions may present with chronic constipation, intestinal obstruction, and enterocolitis (inflammation of the intestines).[1][2] Patients with hypoganglionosis may also suffer from severe complications including fecaloma (hardening of the feces inside the colon), bleeding or perforation of the intestine, and breathing problems resulting from a distended colon.[1] An accurate diagnosis in adults is often difficult, requiring one or more biopsies of the intestinal wall.[1][3] The exact cause of hypoganglionoisis is not known. In some cases, it is due to factors present at birth (congenital), while other times it is believed to be an acquired condition. The management of isolated hypoganglionosis generally involves surgery to remove the affected bowel segment.[2]Hypoganglionosis, also known as intestinal hypoganglionosis, is a disorder causing a reduced number of nerves in the intestinal wall.

I am not sure why, but since 0.2.1, each error report now triggers multiple times. I'm talking 3 or even 6.
Here's one I got from using Shift-E once and clicking OK: http://i.imgur.com/wmjSY.png
I did also see the confirmation flash on the bottom of the screen this many times, so it seems like there's a pretty big flaw in the front end somewhere.

Great holidays…
Which was your best holiday?
That was to Cuba four years ago. I'd put off going because of my emotional tie, having played Che [in Evita] and read so much about the revolution, but I landed in Havana and thought it was wonderful. You've got extraordinary Spanish colonial architecture that's all crumbling, Fifties American cars – it's unbelievable how they keep them going – and music everywhere. I went to Santa Clara, to the big monument of Che Guevara; it was visual and atmospheric and a bit like going to Mecca for me. Going through the countryside was fantastic. There were tractors from the Forties pulling little old wagons with families on board. The warmth of the people was everything I thought it would be. They would invite you for dinner; so it was special.
And the best hotel you have stayed in?
During the Seventies I would stay at The Welcombe Hotel near Stratford upon Avon when things were very hectic. There was a fantastic suite that overlooked incredible gardens.
What do you need for a perfect holiday?
An adventure, somewhere off the beaten track, that's culturally different. I once had a week off in South Africa and drove all around the Cape on a motorbike with a friend, Bev Bush (who was killed on a bike a couple of years ago, sadly). We were driving down a dusty road when, all of a sudden, a couple of monkeys jumped on us. We were manically trying to get them off and they were shouting and hollering. We stopped up the road and really laughed. I'm not one for relaxing and lying about. It's also good, occasionally, to travel alone. People think: why's he sitting in this restaurant by himself? And you feel a bit like a spy, you can shed your identity. It's a refreshing feeling.
What do you always take with you?
Nothing special. I've got travelling light down to a fine art: three pairs of underpants, two pairs of jeans, three T-shirts, a jumper and a washing kit.
What is your best piece of holiday advice?
Don't walk around with a map and camera, big straw hat and fat wallet. Go to places the locals go and try to feel the rhythm of the country you're in, as opposed to staying in a big ivory tower and sitting in the sun.
Where do you want to go next?
I'm always drawn by South America. I've been to Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, but I'd like to go to Chile, Peru and Costa Rica. I like the music and that looser Latin American temperament.
… and disasters?
Which was your worst holiday?
When I went to Sardinia two years ago, thinking I might buy somewhere because I'd been in the Seventies and had a lovely time. When I went back it was just awful. It rained and rained. Everywhere was closed or, if it wasn't, they resented that you'd gone in. So I cut the holiday short.
And your worst experience on holiday?
I nearly died in Jaipur after I bought an ice cream off a street vendor on a very hot afternoon. The nightmare began that evening. I was so sick: it came out like a hosepipe. Luckily, I was staying with a maharaja. The maharaja called a doctor, who gave me brightly coloured pills and an injection. I was in a room with a tiger's head above the bed and I was so delirious I didn't know what was going on. I was OK after two or three days but if I'd been staying in the usual bed and breakfast, it could have been tricky.
What's the biggest packing mistake you've made?
I tend to adapt. But I've often taken a mobile phone that's never worked. I forget to get world roaming. It means that when you come back there are all sorts of things you should have done that you didn't know about.
What's the worst hotel you've stayed in?
The Adelphi in Liverpool is the worst but in a way I like it. I remember being in bed at about 8am when there was a bang on the door: "Come on, up you get!" Then they came in with the Hoover. The staff are in control. But there was something nice about it because there was no pretence.
What do you avoid on holiday?
The obvious tourist haunts. Of course, when you go to the "real" restaurants and bars, it takes a bit of courage. You'll often hear; "What are you doing in here, señor?" But you get over that by being polite and not sticking an "o" on the end of every word.
What do you hate about holidays?
The security at airports: the rigmarole of getting there two hours beforehand and taking your belt off. I always wonder how many people's trousers have fallen down as they go through the X-ray. I remember coming back from New York with my mum and she had to take her shoes off. It's necessary, I suppose, but there seems to be a lack of common sense.

We have a high-efficiency gas-fired hot water heater (in our a basement) that is vented to the outside of our house. When the weather gets below -30°C the vent has a tendency to frost-over. When the water tank heater is unable to vent, it shuts off, depriving us of hot water. So when it frosts over we have to go outside and clean off the vent. Can you offer any suggestions to avoid having the exterior vent getting frosted over?
If you truly have a high efficiency appliance (a condensing appliance) horizontally vented, which way does your exhaust vent slope? Most manufacturers have requirements that there be a slope on the exhaust vent, either back to the appliance and a condensate pump to discharge the condensate into the domestic waste line or away from the appliance to prevent the accumulation of the condensate. You might try to find an installation manual for your appliance and see if the exhaust vent is sloped as specified by the manufacturer.
Generally two things (be sure either/both suits the maker of your furnace before trying - you might also ask if they have any other suggestions, since your problem would presumably be common in your area.)
Insulate the vent pipe (primarily the section outside your house) and/or make it shorter, if at all possible.
Increase the diameter of the vent pipe (more cross-sectional area means much more frost has to form to clog it.)
One possible solution would be to insulate the exhaust. Any exhaust termination that exceeds the envelope of the house more than 2' is required to be insulated by code so prevent freezing from happening. Another problem may be that the pipe is not sloped back to the appliance, and there may be an elbow that holds condensate water and freezes during the off cycle of the water heater.
Now the best way to find out the issue is for you to post pictures of your appliance, the venting and the termination. Most homes use Power vented water heaters in Canada, however insulating and making sure the venting is sloped can help to keep these from happening in very cold climate areas. However it all depends on the way the appliance is vented.
This is a common problem, is it the suction air pipe that is frosting over or the flue gas exit freezing off? Sometimes the vent is installed with the vent sloped down to the outside of the building which causes the water produced during combustion to freeze in the exhaust. The vent should always be sloped back to the appliance.

Cisco Catalyst 2960S Switch
Intel Dual Port NIC (teamed)
BroadComm Quad Port NIC (teamed 2 ports)
We hired a contractor to setup a fairly simple SQL cluster and SAN storage. With the above switch and NICs, they have teamed two cards on each server (3 servers total) for the domain network communication. There is no problem with the NIC teams, they are functioning fine, I have tested failover of each (unplug one of the cords).
The question I have is, would I gain any benefit from also creating an EtherChannel in my switch for each of these NIC teams? The contractor has not done this, and although everything is working fine, I want to get the top performance and reliability of this buildout.
