Former Worcester Voke star Tim Collins is getting a hefty raise.
The Kansas City Royals' left-handed relief pitcher avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1,362,500 on Thursday, almost tripling the $534,500 he made the past three seasons.
The 5-foot-7, 165-pound Collins went 3-6 with a 3.54 ERA in 2013. The 24-year-old appeared in 66 games out of the bullpen — second on the team — striking out 52 and walking 28 in 53? innings.
But he was most productive after the All-Star Game when he had a 1.35 ERA, allowing just three earned runs in 20 innings, including a nine-inning scoreless streak from Aug. 26-Sept. 23.
For his career, Collins is 12-14 with a 3.51 ERA, pitching 190 innings in 206 games. His 205 strikeouts ranked ninth all-time for Royals' relievers.
Kansas City acquired Collins in a trade with the Atlanta Braves in 2010. He began his career with the Toronto Blue Jays, who signed him as a free agent in 2007 after he went undrafted.

Border Drones a Wasteful Giveaway, Study Says
Posted on Apr 25, 2013
As Congress considers whether to increase funding for border drones, a report released Wednesday found the technology to be "an inefficient, costly and absurd approach to border security and homeland security."
The Center for International Policy assessed the drone fleet belonging to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which includes seven Predators and three Guardians. A $443.1 million contract suggests the agency will acquire 14 more drones in the next three years.

Destination Weddings
They say weddings are a great place to find love. Bree, Kenzi and Jasmine find that, along with some passionate nights, at other people's weddings.
HIS WEDDING DATE: Ash needs a date to his ex-brother-in-law's wedding and enlists his coworker for what turns into a weekend of passion.
THE ROCK STAR'S WEDDING: She runs into her old flame at a romantic tropical location. Too bad he's there for his wedding.
CHRISTMAS WITH THE BEST MAN: Stuck in Ireland over the holidays, Jasmine finds her companion too tempting.
Christmas with the Best Man
The quirky, sexy continuation of the Destination Weddings series featuring Joey and Jasmine, who we first met in The Rock Star's Wedding.
Christmas in Ireland…what could be more romantic?
The day after her best friend's wedding in Ireland, Jasmine is still riding the romantic high. Then a polar vortex brings in the storm of the century and now she's stuck in Ireland with the to-die-for best man, Joey. That slow sexy smile of his heats her up only to have his alternating hot and cold personality shatter her fantasies.
Locals say it could be a week before they can leave the island. A week alone Joey could handle. A week in a small room with this perky event planner would be hell. Yes, she's beautiful—she might even be hot if she'd slow down long enough for a guy to get to know her, but it's probably a good thing she doesn't. A "one week stand" between the best friends of the bride and groom would make life unbearable down the road.

Honeymoon with a Billionaire by MJ Summers, National Bestselling Author. When good girl librarian, Natasha Jones finds herself alone on her honeymoon, the last thing she expects is to find herself in the arms of billionaire Kirk Tyrrell.

The flames of their attraction run hot as Kirk uncovers the wildly passionate woman hidden inside Natasha, but is it just a rebound or the start of their forever?

It's only after a single's auction to raise money for the rescue that Jill finds her stubborn heart being rescued from the one man she thought she could never forgive.

Cards From The Diaspora
by Stewart Ain
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
Impressed with the outpouring of letters of support to New Yorkers following the 9-11 attacks, a local rabbinical student studying in Israel has organized a similar effort for Israelis. In three months it has triggered 13,000 cards of support. "I won't give up if you don't give up," said a handwritten card from a youngster named Moshe. "Dear Israel," wrote 8-year-old Jared from New York, "I watch the news every day. I pray for Israel when I walk from my house to my school and sometimes I cry. I wish I could come to help, but I'm only a kid." Dana Rone Saroken, 31, a student at the Jewish Theological Seminary's Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies, said she began the campaign by sending an e-mail to 300 friends a week after the Passover massacre killed 29 Jews in Netanya. She asked that they send cards and drawings to her at the institute at P.O. Box 8600, Jerusalem, Israel 91083. The recipients forwarded the e-mail to other friends and cards started pouring in. "I'm profoundly moved by the response," she said. "It's extraordinary how our community has come together. Some kids have sent their e-mail addresses, and I will try to connect them with Israeli children here. I think personal relationships are a way to have stronger ties between diaspora Jews and Israelis." Linda Price, director of public relations for the Schechter Institute, said the letters have been affixed to poster boards and will hang in stores whose income have been hurt by Palestinian terrorist attacks, as well as in the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem. In addition, she said the Institute had a printer make-up 24 posters featuring a collage of letters that the bus station will hang for the next month at every main floor entrance and departure gate. The Egged Bus Company is also considering placing them at other central bus stations in the country and on the back of each bus, she said. For further information, contact Saroken and her husband, Rafi, at email@example.com.

January 28, 2009
I. Roll – The following senators were absent: Cariens, Dowd, Gross, Harper, Kenick, Nimmo and Walsh. Excused were Bachrach, Becker, Hartter, Huang, Lanier, Pringle, Salvio, Sample and Tobin. Lisa MacFarlane, Kevin Linton, and Thomas Pistole were guests.
II. Remarks by and questions to the vice provost – Lisa MacFarlane wished the senators a happy holiday and expressed her willingness to respond to any faculty concerns.
III. Remarks by and questions to the chair – The senate chair said that the UNH budget projection is now in the black for FY 2009; but FY 2010 has a small deficit; and FY 2011 projects a large deficit. Undergraduate enrollments remain strong, but other forms of income present major challenges. The senate chair said that the shared governance situation has been much better this year. The Agenda Committee met with the president and his cabinet during the summer and will meet with the deans for lunch on Tuesday, to discuss how to work well together on shared governance, which can be simply defined as consulting the affected faculty early in the problem-solving process and before a decision is made and deciding adversely to the reasoned view of the faculty only in exceptional circumstances and for reasons communicated to the faculty. Faculty expect to have a major influence on significant academic decisions. A senator expressed concern that recently the membership of important committees or panels has tended to mute the contribution of faculty since, if faculty are not at the table in sufficient numbers, faculty views are more likely to be overridden.
IV. Discovery Program – The student senate has recently discussed the Discovery Program, heard a presentation from Michele Holt-Shannon, and failed to pass a resolution to approve the program, by a vote of seventeen to twenty-four. Opinion expressed in the Student Senate was mixed and included positive responses and also concerns about course availability, work load issues, adding requirements, and possible effects on study abroad, as well as an apparent lack of knowledge of the Discovery Program. Some students said that the system is not broken and so does not need to be fixed. Today a faculty member replied that a system does not need to be broken to be improved and that a revision may be appropriate after some twenty years of use. Another faculty senator expressed the hope that Student Senate might gather more information and reconsider the Discovery Program at a later time.
The chair of the Faculty Senate's Academic Affairs Committee said that his committee is now reviewing the Discovery Program's perspectives-on-social-identity attribute, the interdisciplinary-understanding attribute and the "environment, technology and society" category. Then the Academic Affairs Committee will look at the entire Discovery Program proposal and bring a written recommendation to the Faculty Senate.
V. Minutes – The minutes of the last senate meeting were approved unanimously.
VI. Strategic planning – The senate chair said that recently the strategic planning group held round table discussions with selected individuals. The structure was to identify five or six strategic domains, and then to have work groups develop action plans for each domain. Previously there had been interviews with the selected individuals, and efforts have been made to identify values, criteria and strategic themes. Senators said today that the strategic goals should be academic rather than financial and that the discussion should be about teaching and learning rather than customers and markets. A senator emphasized that, since the main source of the university's income is undergraduate tuition, UNH must above all provide a quality undergraduate education. The senate chair asks senators, who are interested in giving more input on strategic planning, to inform him of their interest so that they may participate in the process.
VII. Export Controls – The chair of the senate's Research and Public Service Committee said that "export controls" refer to policies and regulations designed to limit the exporting of intellectual property, knowledge, classified information or material outside of U.S. borders. Export of technologies may be restricted because: (1) they have actual or potential military applications; (2) they raise trade/economic protection issues; (3) the government has concerns about the country, organization, individual, end-user or end-use of that technology; or (4) control serves to implement foreign policy.[1] The control of the technology or knowledge is intended to protect national interests, specifically: (1) advancing U.S. foreign policy and economic goals; (2) preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; and (3) restricting the export of goods and technologies that could contribute to the military potential of U.S. adversaries.
Of greatest concern to UNH is that the definition of "export" includes transmitting information to an individual who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. This is called "deemed export." Export controls can limit presentation of unpublished research at a conference with foreign nationals in attendance, limit collaborations with foreign colleagues, and limit the ability to have foreign students participate in certain types of research projects. In response to the regulations and federal actions, UNH has developed two policies. The first is entitled "Openness, Access, and Participation in Research and Scholarly Activities" (codified in UNH.VIII.A); and the second is on the conduct of classified work (codified in UNH.VIII.B). In UNH.VIII.A, the university reaffirms a core value of openness, access and participation and states, in part, that "Research and scholarship will be accomplished openly for the exchange of ideas and information and without prohibitions on the dissemination of the results of these activities."
The RPSC chair added that UNH.VIII.A also states in part that, under circumstances where it is clear and demonstrable that the objectives of the University will be served (using the University's Academic Plan or, where applicable, a Unit's Academic or Strategic Plans as guides), rare exceptions to this Policy may be granted by the Vice President for Research. Researchers wanting an exception should forward a written request (endorsed by the relevant Dean or Unit Director) that describes: (1) how the request is consistent with the University's objectives (Academic Plan, Strategic Plan, or other); and (2) how the researcher and others in their lab/research group will comply with the specific requirements and limit the impact of the requirements to the particular sponsored project under consideration.
As motion one, the Research and Public Service Committee recommends that the UNH Faculty Senate fully endorses the policy on Openness, Access and Participation in Research and Scholarly Activities (UNH.VIII.A). The senate appreciates the articulation that the open exchange of research and scholarly information is a core value of the university, and the senate endorses the letter of the policy that clearly spells out support for this central ideal.
In UNH.VIII.B, the university articulates support for the open discovery process and the free exchange of knowledge through dissemination activities and prohibits the conduct of classified work at UNH. This policy applies to the entire UNH community but does not require disclosure of confidential human subjects' data or other confidential student, patient or employee records. As motion two, the Research and Public Service Committee recommends that the UNH Faculty Senate endorses the Policy on Classified Work articulated in UNH.VIII.B.
The RPSC considered whether there may be instances in which classified work may be important to do, for national security or other reasons; and the committee notes that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology apparently solves this problem by having such work done by centers which are not part of the institute. So UNH faculty members could do classified work off campus without using university resources or facilities. The RPSC chair added that policy UNH.VIII.A also states in part that there can be no fundamental limitation on the freedom to disseminate the results of research and scholarship conducted on the part of the University and that therefore the University will enter into no agreement that bars any University researcher or scholar from publishing or otherwise disclosing his/her findings publicly. However, the University may agree to delay a publication or other form of disclosure for no more than 30 days to allow a sponsor to determine whether (a) sponsor proprietary information may be revealed or (b) the sponsor will exercise rights under patent clauses in agreements with the University. With the researcher's written consent, the University may extend such delay for a maximum of an additional 60 days to allow for the filing of appropriate patent protection. All publication or other disclosure delays agreed to by the University must be detailed in the written sponsored project agreement. The University may accept a sponsor's proprietary materials or information when the materials or information convey(s) important background information for a specific research project. Requirements regarding access, use, and protection of such materials or information must be agreed to in a written Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or other confidentiality agreement and must not restrict the dissemination of research results. Sponsor requirements should not proscribe citation of the sponsor name in publications. The Faculty Senate approved motion one, with thirty-three ayes, no nays, and one abstention. The Faculty Senate approved motion two, with twenty-nine ayes, no nays, and three abstentions.
VIII. Blue Ribbon Panel on Research – The chair of the senate's Research and Public Service Committee said that the report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Research is advisory to the president. Some senators said that, as a matter of shared governance, the Faculty Senate has an obligation to respond to the report, because it is an integral part of academic policy and deals with issues that are very important for both research and undergraduate teaching. How would the provisions in the report be funded? Is not faculty productivity already directly measured? A professor strongly objected to the last paragraph on page thirty of the report stating: "The University should recognize the very different nature of courses at various levels (200 through 900) and develop a credit-hour weighting system that provides greater incentives for courses that promote graduate/doctoral research. The current weighting formulae are biased in favor of undergraduate teaching and do not reflect the importance of the actual time devoted to the research mission of the University."
A faculty member said that the key questions from the president were: (1) what does UNH need to do now to ensure the vitality of research, scholarship and creative activity for the next ten years, (2) what is the right mission and organizational structure for the Office of Research and, by extension, the right qualifications for a vice president for research, and (3) how do we ensure that research activities are integrally connected to and supportive of our broader academic mission. The report of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Research lists seven primary recommendations (on page 13). Senators pointed out that these recommendations and the recommendations for the Discovery Program would compete for funding and may be contradictory to each other, for example in respect to teaching loads. The main problem is that funding to enhance research would have to be taken from other programs. How can departments with a hiring freeze and the loss of many faculty in a certain program fulfill the mission of that program? Senators said that many departments are already suffering financially and cannot afford the drain of more funds to research. Faculty said that they need to know where the money would come from before approving recommendations from the Blue Ribbon Panel on Research. A senator said that the report is very disturbing because, if the university decreases course loads and spends more money for research and, to offset that, hires more adjunct faculty and has larger classes for undergraduates, that would lower the quality of undergraduate education. Appendix B on page fifty of the report discusses the impact of reducing course loads from five to four and replacing the course with research/graduate activity. The options would all seem to require increased funds or to lower the quality of undergraduate education.
A senator said that the first sentence on page thirteen of the report stating that, to "excel in teaching and service, UNH must excel in research" could be restated that, to excel in research, UNH needs to excel in teaching and service, in order to strengthen the base for academic programs for undergraduates especially and also for graduate education. Another professor said that, if the current weighting formulae really were biased in favor of undergraduate teaching, we would not be down so many faculty in teaching departments; and he added that UNH should not increase research by diminishing the undergraduate mission. A faculty member said that we should identify areas where we are already excellent and also those where we are not. Many faculty would be happy to have a reduced teaching load, more time for research, and better support for graduate students, if the money did not come from undergraduate education or other important academic needs. Another senator said that the report should be more targeted and not such a broad brush which lacks funding information. A senator suggested that the senate might say that certain principles in the report should be kept and that the document should clarify what is up to the academic departments to decide. The minutes of this senate discussion should be sent to the president and also the strategic planners, including the strategic plan working group on research. A former senate chair asked that the RPSC chair write some text setting the context of what the senate discussed today. The senate chair asked that the senators review the Blue Ribbon Panel report, discuss it with their colleagues, and send comments to the chair of the RPSC, prior to further discussion at a senate meeting in the near future.
IX. Adjournment – The meeting was adjourned.

My daughter had a friend sleep over the other night and the kiddies helped make these for breakfast. The kids loved them with cream cheese and jam.
Delicious thick pancakes just the way I like them, I did change the recipe a little cause when i followed the recipe The pancake batter was very bland and wasnt enough Banana flavour. I just added 2 mashed banana's the the mix, still putting the banana's on top aswel, Add another tsp of vanilla essanceand about a good tablespoon of Maple Syrup and they turned out perfect! TY juenessa
My kids loved these. These are so good. I chose to mash the bananas and add with the wet ingredients, instead of putting them in sliced. I also used orange zest since I didn't have lemon. So very good! Update: I made this today using plain yogurt instead of sour cream. I also blended all the wet ingredients with my hand blender. The batter was so smooth and the pancakes were even better!

The primary treatment for inflammatory bowel disease involves medications, such as steroids, which can decrease inflammation and resolve symptoms. Occasionally, if segments of bowel are very inflamed and are not responding to medication, surgery to remove these segments may be necessary. While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made in the midline of the abdomen.

Check out these teen driving safety tips and information before you head behind the wheel.
An Inconvenient Truth - Cold, Hard Facts
1. Traffic crashes are the leading cost of teen fatalities - accounting for 38% of all teen deaths in the United States.
2. Every day- more than 10 young drivers age 15-20 are killed in crashes and another 745 are injured
3. About 25% of crashes killing young drivers involve alcohol
4. 39% of young male drivers and 26% of young female drivers were speeding at the time of their fatal crash
5. While young drivers only represent 6% of all licensed drivers, they are the drivers in 16% of all crashes.

I've been encouraged to begin a diary if you will so let's begin. I came here searching for answers and was pleasantly surprised to find the aid of some truly wonderful and gifted individuals willing to reach out to little old me.
Over the course of the last calendar year and over some time before that I've been on a personal journey to better understand the cards life has dealt me and on some strange level just how I managed to continue to get up each day. When I arrived here I was grasping, I was desperate, I wanted the answers I wanted to hear. Mind you I didn't know that at the time but I do now. I won't say I don't still have days like that but I'd like to believe they are fewer and farther between than they used to be.
I encourage those reading my postings to offer their own opinions. Share their experiences. Just be present and know you will not harshly be judged for the curiosity.
I will tell you time and time again "I'm no psychic" but I know deep down I have psychic abilities, it has passed from generation to generation amongst my family. Admitting that here is HUGE. And yet I believe everyone is born with those tendencies it is what we do to develop them or discourage them that helps make us who we are today. In a society where such natural yet supernatural tendencies have been seen horrifically, during the times when people were persecuted for sharing their experiences, at a time when such things were thought to be impossible. Yet today we have shows like Charmed, Supernatural, Medium, Ghost Whisperer and more where such gifts are not looked at as acts against the almighty. I won't ask you to agree with me. I was born and raised Catholic but this isn't about religion. It's about a part of us something that awakens within, something that just is and is often times unexplainable. Share with me your thoughts, your feelings, let's learn together, help one another, find strength in numbers. This won't always be about abilities, it will also be about family, friends, everyday life just what makes me tick and at times what makes me tick like a time bomb. Welcome to RCdreamer writes.

Charlotte Musgrave's Diamond Tycoon, far back for most of the way, came charging down the center of the racetrack under Julien Leparoux to take the $125,000 Fair Grounds Handicap (gr. IIIT) Feb. 7.
Fox Hill Farms' Honest Man stayed close to a slow pace, passed My Pal Charlie in upper stretch, and easily pulled away for a 4 1/4-length score in the $125,000 Mineshaft Handicap (gr. III), the first of four graded stakes at Fair Grounds Feb. 7.
For the third time in nine weeks, Cindy Jones' Just Jenda and Heiligbrodt Racing Stable's Four Gifts will have a showdown as they head a field of eight 3-year-old fillies in the $150,000 Silverbulletday Stakes (gr. III) Feb. 7 at Fair Grounds.
A dispute over hub-fee agreements has left some Churchill Downs Inc.-owned tracks and related off-track betting facilities without racing signals from California.
Churchill Downs Inc. has announced several changes to its organizational structure that will include the recruitment of a new president for its signature racetrack.
If you spent your Saturday wagering on horses trained by Steve Asmussen at Fair Grounds, you had reason to smile at the end of the day. Last year's leading trainer nationally by wins saddled starters in seven races on the 10-race card and won six, twice ran one-two, and captured the day's stakes race.
Friesan Fire, a talented 3-year-old colt who had disappointed in his last three starts, finally showed why trainer Larry Jones considered him a legitimate Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) prospect from the outset.
French Beret, with James Graham in the irons, won the $100,000 Colonel E.R. Bradley Handicap (gr. IIIT) for the second consecutive year, putting his nose down perfectly at the wire to edge Golden Yank in a thrilling photo finish Jan. 10 at Fair Grounds.
Jockey Francisco Torres will be out of action for an indefinite period of time after tests Jan. 9 revealed a fractured clavicle. Torres was thrown from a 3-year-old filly trained by Mark Frostad near the half-mile pole during morning workouts Jan.8.

Sam-Son Farms' French Beret will have a tough time defending his title in the $100,000 Colonel E.R. Bradley Handicap (gr. IIIT) Jan. 6 at Fair Grounds, as an evenly-matched field of 10 goes to post in the 1 1/16-mile turf event.
Indygo Mountain, who broke his maiden impressively Nov. 19 at Churchill Downs but had to be scratched from his next start because of a minor injury, was installed as the 3-1 morning-line choice in the $100,000 Lecomte Stakes (gr. III) at Fair Grounds Jan. 10.
TrackNet Media Group is poised to cut off its signals to more than 80 Nevada casinos Jan. 7 unless a new agreement is met for what the content company feels are more equitable fees.
While a barn in Fair Grounds' stable area remains under a Louisiana State Racing Commission quarantine, horses will again be allowed to ship in and race at the track beginning with the Dec. 31 card.
Jockey Donnie Meche sustained apparent injuries when he was thrown from his mount in the first race at Fair Grounds Dec. 28.

Seven graded stakes winners, including grade I winner Square Eddie, lead the list of 93 early-bird nominations to the $600,000 Louisiana Derby (gr. II), the headline event of Fair Grounds' 137th season March 14, 2009.
When 3-year-old filly Talkin Indian won the ninth race at Fair Grounds on Dec. 7, its likely the average racing fan did not notice a unique detail that came along with the first-level allowance victory.
When 3-year-old filly Talkin Indian won the ninth race at Fair Grounds on Dec. 7, the average racing fan likely did not notice a unique detail that came along with the first-level allowance victory.
Wagering on Tampa Bay Downs' 83rd live meet, which opens Dec. 13, will be available to most advance deposit wagering outlets, the Oldsmar, Fla., track announced Dec. 12.

Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots has canceled its live racing program Dec. 11 because of winter weather and track conditions. Snow began falling in the metro New Orleans area during the morning. New Orleans is under a winter storm warning.
In what has to be one of the strongest and deepest 2-year-old allowance fields ever assembled at Fair Grounds, nine juveniles will go to the post in Thursday's one-mile test, several of whom have already excited fans with their dazzling performances.
Barely a year after a career-threatening injury, jockey E.J. Perrodin won his 3,000th career race aboard He's Royal Dee in the ninth race at Fair Grounds Dec. 5.
Bret Calhoun became the first trainer this season to saddle four winners on a single Fair Grounds program Nov. 30, but that achievement pales in comparison to what the Texas-born conditioner is hoping to accomplish before the local season ends March 29, 2009.
A recent deal that allowed expanded distribution of the Fair Grounds racing signal was hailed by some as a step forward in the months-long nationwide dispute between horsemen, racetracks, and advance deposit wagering entities. But some horsemen's groups are categorizing the development as a step backwards in an overall plan to secure higher revenue shares for purses from a growing wagering segment.
After challenging for command entering the lane, Stormy West withstood late challenges from Final Refrain and Barbette to capture the inaugural running of the $60,000 Blushing K.D. Handicap, the co-feature on a wet opening day to Fair Grounds' 137th season Nov. 14.
Fair Grounds continues its increasingly exciting growth pattern when the 137th live Thoroughbred meeting at the nation's third-oldest racetrack gets underway Nov. 14.

Patrick Valenzuela, whose career as a jockey has been both troubled and brilliant, won his 4,000th race Oct. 9. His milestone victory came at Louisiana Downs aboard Burst of Light in a one-mile allowance/optional claiming event.
Mark Conner, a 16-year veteran of the gaming industry, has been named the new director of marketing at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots.
Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots has announced purses for its 137th season of Thoroughbred racing, which begins Nov. 14.
Churchill Downs Inc. announced Aug. 14 that Randall Soth, who since September 2004 has served as president of Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots in New Orleans, is leaving CDI to pursue other career interests.

Churchill Downs Inc. is asking for patience in seeing financial rewards from what it termed an $80 million investment into the advance deposit wagering industry in 2007, and promises to act on opportunities for the company's progress in 2008.
Jockey Joe Patin Jr., arrested earlier this month on 11 criminal counts including possession of crack cocaine, has been suspended indefinitely by the Louisiana Racing Commission.
The doubters said that Pyro's last-to-first victory in the Risen Star (gr. III) was not as good as it looked. There won't be much for the skeptics to say after the Pulpit colt's latest performance, a commanding three-length score in the $600,000 Louisiana Derby (gr. II) March 8 at Fair Grounds, a victory that cemented the Steve Asmussen trainee as one of the top two 3-year-olds in the country.

When does this stuff go off my credit? Dont the Sally Mae ones go off 7 years from the date of first delinquency?
But what about the National Student Loan ones? Dont they go off at the same time as well? Since they are actually the same debt? I didnt sign anything with them they just sold the debt to NSS right?
Basically, when does this bad stuff go away? I really would like to clear up my credit. Any help would be GREATLY apreciated!

The Air Force will remove hundreds of officers in an effort to align its uniformed workforce with congressional mandates.
The military service chose 436 captains and majors in a reduction in force initiative, Air Force spokesperson Mike Dickerson told Federal News Radio. Air Force officials on the Calendar Year 2011 Reduction-in-Force Board considered more than 8,800 officers.
"The objective of the board was to retain the best-qualified officers according to the 'whole-person' concept used in promotion boards,"
Plans to reduce the number of enlisted airmen
Leaders also announced a renewed effort to reduce the number of enlisted personnel by allowing selected airmen to leave the service earlier than planned.
The initiative, known as a date of separation (DOS) rollback, targets airmen in the grades of senior master sergeant and below, according to an " target="_blank"> announced buyouts for up to 6,005 civilian employees. In August, leaders announced a Air Force to offer buyouts to 6,000 civilians

Unless in the case of steroids. XD
Quick facts about me:
1) I am the best at most video games I've played. (Minus Halo. XD)
2) I can skateboard - in real life and in Tony Hawk games (which I've happened to beat ALL of.)
3) I burp more often then most of my guy friends... true fact. XD
4) I LOVE football, and I'm GREAT at playing it. That's not bragging, it's the truth. Not many people I know, male or female, can throw a spiral like I can.
5) I eat like a guy (pig). My friends have to keep reminding me that forks are made for a REASON. ((Mmmm... Cake... Lol.))
6) I have more guy friends then girl ones and have the ability to talk to males easier then to women.
7) For most of my younger life, my favourite colour was blue.
8.) I only noticed this about a week ago, but my loss of weight has created a bit of a six-pack. Not to mention, my strong arms and (apparently...) legs.
9) I love beer. XD
10) I can't stand most 'girly' music. I like punk, hardcore, rock, etc. Lol.
11) And last, but not least, the biggest guy in my grade thinks I could kick his ass due to my... violent streaks...
I've taken a whole lot of animation and computer courses in hopes to become a video game designer. If not that, I'll find something. XD
The only real difference between me and my guy friends is appearance.
It's funny, a few days ago, three of my guy buds were talking about what they look for in a girl (and I was there, duh.) and my friend Hayden said, "They can't be buffer then me." and then another friend goes, "Count Hayley out then." ((It was kinda more of a joke because my friend Hayden's fairly big and strong looking. XD But for most guys, that'd be true.))

COMPTON, Calif. (AP) _ A Southern California woman charged with stabbing to death her three young daughters has pleaded not guilty to murder -- and to the attempted murder of her own mother.
Prosecutors say 30-year-old Carol Coronado was arraigned Thursday. She was charged last week but the hearing was postponed while she was hospitalized with self-inflicted wounds.
Prosecutors haven't decided whether to seek the death penalty.
Authorities say Coronado killed her daughters, ages 2, 16 months and 2 months, on May 20 at the family home near the Los Angeles suburb of Carson.
A neighbor says the woman's mother found Coronado and the children on a bloody bed.
No motive for the killings has been released.

Families in Focus, Harlem at Night
These two touring exhibitions are from En Foco, a nonprofit founded in 1974, that helps minority photographers jump-start their careers with shows in nontraditional sites around the city. En Foco's shows and photographic journal, Nueva Luz, have introduced such successful artists as Kenro Izu to the public.

The 18 medium-format color prints from Groana Melendez's "Family Work Series" are displayed in the New York Public Library's Aquilar branch, a 1905 building with a magnificent facade. Go to the reading-room balcony to meet Ms. Melendez's mother and father, aunts and uncles, and many cousins. Some pictures, like "Papi Born Again, Washington Heights, New York, NY, 2009," were shot in the city, but most were taken in the Dominican Republic. They make clear the affection Ms. Melendez has for her relatives, but also her ability to set them in their different social milieus.
The middle-aged "Tia Chea in the Kitchen, Gazcue, Santo Domingo, R.D., 2008" stands with her hands on a mortar and pestle in a room with modern appliances; her pride in the neatly tiled space is apparent. The teenage "Orquidia del Carmen Tapia Collado, Washington Heights, NY, 2006" wears jeans, a T-shirt and an expression of teenage inwardness; she sits on a bedspread with pink polka dots. "Tio Bolivar, Gazcue, Santo Domingo, R.D., 2006" sits in a wrought-iron rocker on a porch with a terrazzo floor enjoying a comfortable old age, but "Tio Purungo, Guachupita, Santo Domingo, R.D., 2008," who seems to be about the same age, stands in humbler surroundings. Ms. Melendez was born in Brooklyn. The pictures of island cousins are explorations of her life as it could have been.

Kenneth Nelson, also Brooklyn-born, is drawn to photograph Harlem, the cultural center of black America. Eighteen black-and-white photographs from his "Harlem Nocturnal" project are in the concourse-level gallery of the New York Public Library's new state-of-the-art flagship facility in the Bronx.
Since his pictures were taken very late at night, few people are about. The simple but elegant townhouses in "Steps Up (Jumel Terrace), 2002" look much as they did when built in 1882. In "Subway Maze, 2005," Broadway and 125th Street is uncharacteristically deserted, and the elevated subway station, the steel girders that support it and the empty Subway restaurant on the corner take on sculptural qualities. "Sugar Hill Sojourn, 2002" has a panoramic format and Mr. Nelson used a slow shutter speed; on the left side of the picture the street traffic is rendered as streaks of light, the Twin Donut shop to the right of center keeps a lonely vigil, and in the shadows at the far right one man, leaning against a wall, is stationary enough to be seen.

In summer, children, furloughed from school, get to play in the sun—and so are more available to have their adorable selves photographed. This show has 18 such pictures, mostly by Americans. Helen Levitt (1918-2009) memorialized the children of New York, and two of her works are here: In "New York City, 1940," two boys rampage for no apparent reason in the empty cargo bay of a parked truck. In "New York, 1972," one of her color images, a boy examines a plastic bubble he blew, the white tube still in his mouth. A boy in the background looks on quizzically, his face streaked with the black markings of some unknown urban tribe.
In Susan Paulsen's "Wilmot, 2008," a serious young flower girl with pink gown and bouquet is steadied as she goes down the outside steps by an admiring grandmother; the bride is barely visible inside, waiting for her turn. The Norwegian Dag Alveng shot "Ladybird, Grandfather and Karl, 1986" on a beach; the man is pointing out the bug on his knee to a naked little blond boy. Lucky kids and lucky grandparents to have one another.

The Postmarks and the Apples in Stereo at Culture Room Tonight!!
Broward County's the Postmarks have the music industry paying attention to their sugary sounds in a big way. It may have taken two years to put out their debut, self-titled album, but now that it's on shelves, everyone from Spin to the New Pornographers seems to want a piece of them. The reason they draw so much attention is because of the Brian Wilson-like rock that they churn out with the stellar songwriting of band member Christopher Moll. That's made them the new emo darlings of college radio, and it doesn't hurt that lead singer Tim Yehezkely is as dreamy as they come. Her melodic voice (yes, Tim is a she) and baby-soft tone is potent enough to make a grown man cry. The Postmarks sing of love lost and of heartache, not a subject that's underrepresented in the pop universe. But they do it so much better than most.
As for the Denver-based Apples in Stereo...well, shit, we don't know as much about them as we should. Then again, this isn't the Westword, so go read that rag if you want to learn more about them.
Wait...actually, go check out the show tonight at the Culture Room and you'll find out everything there is to know. --Jonathan Cunningham

The police watchdog has announced it is investigating three police forces over the way they handled abuse allegations about former Lostprophets frontman Ian Watkins.
Watkins, 36, is due to be sentenced for a string of vile child sex crimes this morning after pleading guilty to 13 offences - including the attempted rape of a baby - on the day he was due to go on trial last month.
Now the Independent Police Complaints Commission says it is investigating South Wales, South Yorkshire and Bedfordshire Police over the effectiveness of their response to reports of abuse between 2008 and 2012.
In relation to South Wales Police, the watchdog says it began an investigation in January this year to establish whether or not the force "failed to take appropriate and timely actions" in relation to information they were given prior to Watkins' November 2012 arrest.
This includes looking at reports made to the force as early as October 2008, either from members of the public, Crimestoppers or other police forces. A number of these, the IPCC said, originated from the same complainant.
That investigation is also focusing on the actions of one detective sergeant, who is also being investigated in a separate case where it is claimed he failed to act on an allegation that a 15-year-girl had been raped. He has been served with a gross misconduct notice.
South Yorkshire Police faces investigation over its handling of three reports made between March and May 2012. The IPCC said these reports contained allegations against Watkins with potential evidence.
Lastly, the watchdog is also looking at how Bedfordshire Police handled information from a member of the public involving an allegation of child abuse against Watkins in October 2012.
West Yorkshire Police, Essex Police and the Met are all said to have passed information to South Wales Police regarding allegations about Watkins, but these three forces are not being investigated,
IPCC Commissioner Jan Williams said: "No-one can fail to be shocked by the vile details of Ian Watkins offending that emerged in court last month.
"As the criminal proceedings have now ended, questions are now rightly being asked as to whether Ian Watkins could have been brought to justice sooner, what steps were taken by police in response to allegations made against him as far back as 2008 and whether his celebrity status had any impact on the investigation.
"That is exactly what the IPCC is seeking to establish.
"We now have three separate independent investigations into South Wales, South Yorkshire and Bedfordshire Police running alongside each other involving the handling of information held on Mr Watkins prior to his arrest.
"But this is complex and will take time. There are clearly links between the three investigations which cover a four year period and involve numerous allegations and reports and the police response to each must be considered.
"South Wales Police is also continuing to appeal for any other witnesses or potential victims to contact them and therefore it is possible that new information may come to light which the IPCC would need to consider."
