General Information
Every fall and spring semester the Office of Residence Life coordinates the CA Selection process. During this process we look for students that will show "both a strong commitment to the residential experience as a community member and a sincere interest in each student as an individual" (CA Job Description). Essentially, we are looking for student leaders that will help continue a tradition of positive community development while also helping others grow in their time at SLU.
While we have many of our CAs return from year to year, we are always thrilled to have new CAs join our fantastic team. If you are interested in becoming a CA, pay attention for informational emails, posters, and SLU Wire announcements with details about the application process. The dates and deadlines are different each semester, but applicants must complete the same steps to be considered. The steps for New-Hire Applicants are:
- Fill out a CA Application for New Hires which includes two short essay questions, a copy of your resume, and 3 references
- Complete an individual interview with 1 current CA and 1 current RC (Residential Coordinator)
- Attend one of the Group Process Nights hosted by the entire Residence Life team
- Wait to hear back within a couple weeks of the Group Process Nights
The application process for other types of applicants is included in the following section, but please reach out to Lauren Stemler if you have questions about any CA Selection Process.
If you are currently abroad and are interested in becoming a CA when you return you are certainly able to apply. If you have been a CA/applied to be a CA before going abroad you would simply complete the CA Application for Re-Hires or the Repeat Applicant Renewal of Interest Form (see below for more details). If you have not been a CA before you would still complete the CA Application for New Hires and then you would participate in a Skype interview with a few professional staff members and a current CA. If you have any questions about this process please contact Lauren Stemler.

It's a time-honored tradition: Companies roll out a new policy, product, or promotion that customers hate, forcing a sheepish about-face. Instagram chief Kevin Systrom got a full dose of wrath on Dec. 17 when the photo-sharing site told users it had the right to sell their content to marketers. (Even the Kardashians felt violated by the new terms.) A day later, Systrom vowed to change the "confusing" language to clarify that it won't sell photos. Embarrassing? Yes. But he's hardly the first leader to reverse course.

The idea was simple enough. Take four South Florida songwriters, chosen for their talent and their disparate styles, get them together, ask them to write a song centered on a certain theme, and then give them a limited time in which to accomplish the feat. When it's all done, post the songs to the SunSentinel's website for all the world to enjoy.
Songwriters, though, are not like journalists. They do not, generally speaking, write on deadline. While this project has been attempted before at a national level to great success -- Esquire magazine has pulled it off in marvelous fashion for three years running -- never to our knowledge had it been tried at a local level.
After a few false starts and a few pleading phone calls to get the song turned in already (notable exception: Shauna Sweeney, who turned her song in ahead of deadline, God bless her), we had in our hands four incredibly different songs about Independence Day. Every song took the phrase in a different direction: folksy sociopolitical commentary; hallucinatory hip-hop homage; early Britpop-influenced paean to love and regret; and dark, accordion-based nightmare to be sung 'round a Gypsy band's campfire on a moonless night. Although most of it is only tangentially related to the actual Fourth of July, all of it turned out to be good music, and musicians proved to be somewhat easier to herd than cats. But only just.
To hear each song in its entirety, visit SunSentinel.com/IndependenceDaySongs.
Garo Gallo
Age: 33
Hometown: Fort Lauderdale
Band: Dooms de Pop
Albums released: Four demos and the soon-to-be-released "Ticker," Dooms de Pop's debut album, for which a release party will take place Aug. 4 at the Bubble (see "Fun fact").
Fun fact: Gallo is also a co-owner and co-founder of the Bubble, a 3,000-square-foot art gallery and performance space located at 810 N.E. Fourth Ave., in Fort Lauderdale.
On songwriting: "It's such a weird thing to try to describe. I mean, sometimes it's one of those things where you're just banging your head against a wall trying to finish something. Other times, you can just sit down and come up with a whole song at once."
Favorite gig: "We were supposed to do this very weird, experimental thing one night – like, we were all dressed in these really odd costumes, makeup … just strange, you know? And we get to the place, and it's closed. So we call up Churchill's and said we were a touring act and that we were coming to Miami for one night only, and could we play tonight? They told us to just come down. So, we show up, all dressed in these bizarre outfits, and sure enough, some band can't play and suddenly – poof! – we're on. I was up there just destroying my guitar, had my eyes closed, wasn't really paying attention to the crowd, and when I looked up, the place had gone from being almost empty to completely packed. And the crowd was just jumping around going crazy."
Song: "Independance Day (4 Adam)." Coming as it does from a man known for fronting a rock band, this song is about as far out in left field as it could get. The Adam of the song's title is Adam Yauch, also known as MCA, the recently deceased member of megafamous hip-hop group the Beastie Boys. While the song doesn't sound quite like the Boys, it's definitely the sort of thing you'd expect if someone with Gallo's experimental, prog-rock sensibilities decided to create an homage to hip-hop by way of the Beastie Boys and Beck.
Chris Horgan
Age: 33
Hometown: Fort Lauderdale
Bands: In chronological order, Chlorine, Catalonia, Eskimohunter (during a brief stay in Los Angeles), and his current outfit, Sweet Bronco, which is also the only group in which he has been the guiding force.
Albums released: "A bunch of EPs," and one full-length album with Catalonia.
Fun fact: Horgan runs his own recording studio in a group of warehouses near Dixie Highway and Oakland Park Boulevard. Although Horgan says the studio doesn't have an official name, it was known as Morning Drinker when it was operated by the local group Whirlaway, a shoegaze-y band active from 1999 to the mid-2000s.
On songwriting: "I have a notebook filled with lyrics that I'll try to pair with music, but that almost always fails. Lyrics usually come with the music, or else the music comes first. It rarely works when you write lyrics ahead of time."

What can i do to fix this? Drop permission properties?
I have a large folder with >100k files. I moved it into my archive folder and its taking forever to move. Why is that? I know on XP it takes <1sec but not on windows 7. I am sure its a permission thing, is there a way i can disable it and make it faster?
-edit- I am moving the folder into another in the same drive/partition. In XP. AFAIK it just moves the folder file from one place to another. In windows 7, it seems like its touching something in every file when i move it.

UPDATE: Eltham Yorkshire Grey roundabout accident lorry 'narrowly missed learner driver on her test'
Updated 5:25pm Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News By Mark Chandler, deputy news editor
AN ELTHAM accident at the Yorkshire Grey roundabout has seen a lorry keel over and hit a van, narrowly missing a learner driver during her test.
Police say they were called at around 9.42am to reports of a collision involving a lorry and a van at Eltham Road.
According to one driver, the lorry was in the wrong lane and tried to take a corner too quickly, tipping over and nearly hitting a learner driver who was taking her test at the time.
Greenwich officers, members of the Met Traffic Unit, London Ambulance and the fire brigade attended.
One man received an injury to his arm and was seen by paramedics
A Lewisham police spokeswoman said: "The lorry had overturned, road closures were put in place and officers remain on scene assisting with the recovery of the vehicle."
Westhorne Avenue is closed and there is queueing traffic eastbound between Clifton's Roundabout and Yorkshire Grey Roundabout, because of recovery work.
A diversion is in operation for buses 122, 160, 321, B15 and B16.
Congestion is reported to the A2212 Burnt Ash Hill junction.

Following on the incredible success of the first Freecycle event this past fall, the second East Brunswick FREECYCLING event will be held Sunday, April 29 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Crystal Springs parking lot. This is a joint project of the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission (www.friendsebec.com), the Division of Recreation, Parks and Community Services (http://www.facebook.com/ebrec) and the Recycling Center (http://www.eastbrunswick.org/departments/recycling.asp).
I suspect many of you reading this that didn't make the first event are asking what the heck is FREECYCLING? Well, it is all of the tenets of the mantra "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" all rolled into one fun program. It's a fleamarket, a yard sale and a picking opportunity and its FREE! Freecycling is the perfect opportunity to get rid of unwanted clutter without the hassle of a garage sale and to score some cool new clutter! As the saying goes "one person's junk is another person's treasure" so come find some new treasure!
The first Freecycle event was an incredible success with more than 28 tons of stuff changing hands! 90% of the materials changed hands and only 10% was recycled or disposed of.
FREECYCLING is simply an opportunity to donate and recycle virtually anything* by bringing it to the Crystal Springs parking lot. But that's only the half of it. The best part is that you can take away anything else you want that someone else left there. It's a big trading event and it's all FREE! It's a way for all of us to find something we need and keep as much stuff out of our landfill as possible in a fun way. We will have a vendor there who will take away anything that is remaining at the end of the day and will recycle it. A portion of the profits from his recycling effort will be donated to the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission (www.friendsebec.com) so that we can continue to bring year round free programming like the Butterfly Park (http://www.friendsebec.com/butterflypark.htm), Moth Nights (http://www.friendsebec.com/mothnight.htm), Salamander Crossings (http://www.friendsebec.com/salamandercrossing.htm), the new Green Book Club (http://ebgreenbookclub.blogspot.com/), the Option Green Lecture Series (http://www.friendsebec.com/optiongreen.htm) and so much more.
*You can bring or take items such as - furniture, clothing, bicycles, fish tanks, kitchen items—dishes, pots and pens, silverware, small appliances; garage items—tools, pipes, screws and nails, power tools; electronics—DVD players, VCR, cables and wires, printers, and any other items made of, or containing metal. Usable items will be freecycled and free for the taking, unusable and broken items will be recycled along with anything left at the end of the day by our vendor. Do not bring TV's, computer monitors, paints, pesticides, or any hazardous material.
Details of the Freecycling event are on the Friends of the East Brunswick Environmental Commission website (www.friendsebec.com). And if you aren't a Friends member, why not? It's FREE!

Ian Smith - Anything20 Aug 2013

Five matches and ten games is a lot of volleyball for one day, and unfortunately for the Lady Chicks, they weren't able to come away with any wins to show for the work.
"It was a long day," head coach Nancy Waters said. "We played well in spurts, but they were few and far between."
Chickasha lost to Skiatook, the Oklahoma City Storm, Tulsa Edison, Holland Hall and Tulsa Memorial.
The matches against the Storm and Holland Hall weren't close, but the Lady Chicks competed better in the other three matches.
"In games where we were competitive, Skiatook, Memorial and Edison, we would be close for the first 10 points or so and then give up a run of seven or eight points and that was the game, we could never recover from those runs."
On the bright side, sophomore Chloe Reyes represented well for the Lady Chicks, making the all-tournament team
Reyes had 17 kills total in the tournament. Ashley Hannah had 14.
Rory Traub had 30 digs in the tournament, including ten against Skiatook. Devyn Crosley had 28 on Saturday.
There's not much time to dwell on the losses, because Chickasha has two games this week.
Tuesday, the Lady Chicks are scheduled to host the Duncan Lady Demons at 4:30 p.m.
Tecumseh, a team Chickasha saw during summer league play, comes to the Chickasha Activity Center on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

I write about luxury hideaways and unique travel experiences.
Located just south of Dubai on the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman is a country filled with white sand beaches, rolling desert dunes and expansive mountain ranges. It's home to the legendary Sinbad the Sailor and the Queen of Sheba, and it's a country that cast a spell on me from the moment I arrived.
A quick 35-minute flight from Dubai landed me in their capital city of Muscat; a place reminiscent of a fairy tale novel filled with warm, friendly people, historical fortresses and colorful palaces; all surrounded by mountain scenery which can only be described as magical. The country itself is known for its abundance of Frankincense and what made this country so enticing to the Portugese, who occupied Oman for nearly two hundred years.
The capital city of Muscat offers a variety of accommodations including the centrally located and uber chic Chedi. Just outside, however, are some beautiful resorts including the Shangri-la and the Al Bustan Palace, A Ritz Carlton-managed resort. The city itself is pristine, with whitewashed low-rise buildings and green, tree-lined streets and its downtown waterfront area is picturesque, with the Sultan's cruise-ship-sized yacht docked prominently in its harbor. I felt surprisingly safe as I traveled alone through this country visiting the main souq, Muttrah souq, teeming with merchants selling frankincense, sandalwood and a variety of crafts. The massive fortress commanding over this area–its roots dating back to the Portuguese occupation during the 16th century–has now been turned into a museum. There are many sights in Muscat to see and one could spends days discovering all its rich offerings including a visit to the Grand Mosque, the third largest in the world, and the Sultan's Palace in Old Muscat. But once a tour of the city is complete there's an entire world of beautiful landscape and ancient villages waiting to be explored.
A trip to Nizwa, the former capital of Oman with its spectacular forts and outdoor markets, is an easy one-day tour and offers a unique cultural experience. The country's highest peak, The Green Mountain (Jebel Al Akhdar) allows for expansive views of canyons and plains while winding mountain roads through the small towns are lined with Date Palm trees and scampering goats.
On the coastline, there are sea turtle reserves, crystal blue waters and quaint villages. Much further south, (and a 90-minute flight away) to the city of Salalah you'll find lush green landscape, powdery white-sand beaches and the magical Frankincense trail, an ancient trading link to Zanzibar. On the northern Musandam Peninsula of the country you'll find the award-winning Six Senses Zighy Bay resort, an oasis in the middle of literally nowhere nestled between a dramatic mountain range and stunning coastline. A trip to Zghy Bay is a nice introduction to the country and it is accessible via a 2 hour drive from Dubai. Once there, you'll experience Omani hospitality set along the Gulf of Oman set within the rugged and majestic coastline.
What's the proper amount of time to spend in this magical country? I stayed for a full week, 5 days more than originally scheduled. I highly suggest that once you've finished marveling at the man-made, glitzy city of Dubai, take the quick flight down to Oman to admire its stunning natural beauty and interesting history.
Among the desert of the Arabian countries, Oman is an oasis of peace, modesty and serenity. A hidden treasure yet to be uncovered.

Let your kiddos be the stars of the show while raising money for Newspapers In Education and the Women's Resource Center at the Karnival Kuties pageant Saturday, Feb. 16, at Woodrow Wilson High School Auditorium.
Jamie Lefler, pageant coordinator, said this natural pageant "gives boys and girls a boost of confidence, and because every contestant gets a trophy and a crown, they each walk away winners."
The first pageant is open to boys ages newborn and up and girls 2 and under and starts at 11 a.m. with registration from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m.
The second pageant is open to girls age 3 and over and will begin at 3 p.m. with registration from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m.
The entry fee for both pageant divisions is $40.
Each girl will receive a crown, trophy and gift bag regardless of where she places, while the winners of the elite and grand supreme pageants will take home a crown, trophy, sash and cash prize.
Crowning ceremonies will follow each pageant before the next one starts.
Lefler stresses that the pageant is open to everyone, experienced contestants and first-timers.
Contestants may wear any Mardi Gras-themed attire or anything purple, green, black or gold, off the rack or out of the closet.
Likewise, the pageant judges score on facial beauty and personality, not attire.
"Karnival Kuties is a good, fun-filled day for the family and gives girls and boys time to shine on stage," explained Lefler. "This is a great way for shy kids to come out of their shell and for all kids to express themselves and have a good time."
In addition to the judges' scores, those who attend the pageant can vote for a Fan Favorite for $1 per vote. The Fan Favorite winner will get a crown, sash, gift and trophy.
Every contestant will need to bring an 8x10 or 5x7 natural photo to registration the day of the pageant, Lefler said. A "Most Photogenic" award will be given out in each age division. Participants may enter additional photos for $5 a photo.
For more information, contact Lefler at 304-237-2079 or Carla Nelson at 304-255-4498.

CBS has One Shining Moment.
And Mercer has the Nae Nae.
In a few weeks, well all have both together, because there is absolutely no doubt that Mercer will make a few appearances during, for my money, the best and most emotion-inspiring three minutes in sports.
Confession: my eyes fill up just Googling to see how long the thing is and before I hear the first sounds or see the first highlights. I just about cant watch it in public.
But we will get some Nae Nae, and well get a rousing wooooo from the self-proclaimed psycho, and there will, yes, be a clip from Sunday that doesnt look so good.
But we might get another postgame shot or two from Sunday to counter it.
Well save assorted other topics -- Bob Hoffmans future, attendance, long-term impact, etc. -- for another time. The serious stuff can wait.
Because as former Georgetown head coach John Thompson, I think it was, said way back when about the tournament. Its indescribably delicious.
And it is.
Then theres what Bud Thomas, flushed and emotional, said Sunday night, Its too good for words.
And it was.
That wont stop any of us from using them to discuss perhaps the most notable weekend -- certainly on a perception and public scale -- in Mercer history and one of the best for Macon. After occupying a sideline seat for the past few seasons, a few hundred thoughts fluttered through my mind on the seven-hour drive home from Raleigh, N.C., that ended around 7 a.m.
The first and most rousing was the support at the NCAA tournament from numbers the players didnt always see at home. The woodwork opened up, and thats fine. Better late to watch a quality team than never.
The superb student throng was mostly courtesy of an extraordinarily wise yet common sense marketing investment by Mercer, footing a substantial bill in some form or fashion to bus oodles of people to Raleigh on Thursday -- $25 for students for bus, ticket and hotel -- and then Sunday.
Whatever it cost -- in the six-figure range -- was worth it. Period. Inarguable. Never understood why schools dont do something similar on a fairly regular basis.
I bet more start now. Lets do like Mercer did.
To say Mercer -- not just the team -- made a walloping impression is an understatement. T-shirts sold out almost before Mercers game Friday started. You heard people talking and talking about Mercer and the support.
And, of course, there were the Bears themselves, who became the second-most popular college basketball team in the state of North Carolina on Friday.
One concession worker was an N.C. State fan.
I was about ready for my medicine after Thursday, he said, citing the Wolfpacks opening loss to St. Louis. But Mercer beat Duke, and I felt a whole lot better. So, thank yall.
He was nowhere near alone.
Then there was the game.
Mercer played Mercer basketball, which, as speculated in one corner beforehand, was enough. More than enough. Mercer didnt do anything outlandishly great, just did everything -- including coach -- better than Duke.
It was actually in most ways a fairly routine Mercer win. Nothing after that was routine.
Oh my goodness, it was not routine.
I didnt see Kevin Canevaris postgame performance for a few hours afterward. See it once, youll giggle forever.
And then theres the fake Canevari social media explosion. As this Vitale guy screams a lot, Are you serious?
Ditto Anthony White Jr.s legendary photo bomb behind Bob Hoffman during the postgame interview.
Pure insanity, indescribably delicious and too good for words.
The best part about such absurd greatness is when all the too-cool-for-school college athletes forget -- not that they did, but people in general do -- that theyre too cool and just be a goofy 21 year old college student.
And boy, the Bears had that going, along with some good basketball.
The other great part is the opposite end of the spectrum, when things dont go so well, as was the case Sunday.
Getting Tennessee was bad, less for the size disadvantage than for the Vols knowing Mercer and how the Bears can beat you. They experienced that a year ago, and no doubt focused as hard Saturday for Mercer as if they were playing Duke.
And it paid off.
Afterward, different emotions. Sniffling in the postgame news conference, the eloquence of Thomas and Jake Gollon on the end.
Not too cool for emotions.
It was a weekend for goose bumps, whether you were nearby or watching with friends and some new friends.
Lives changed during the weekend, as did a university, and hopefully a community, make no mistake.
The Bears lose seven seniors and are reloading but dont be surprised a bit if were in this position a year from now.
But it wont be like this ride, the first ride. It might last longer than this one, but itll be different.
After all, this was too good for words.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were spotted out on a double date in St. Petersburg, Florida earlier in the month with Ashley Benson and Ryan Good. Selena and Ashley are in Florida filming Spring Breakers. Justin and Ryan were visiting and helping the ladies enjoy a little down time.
According to a report from Hollywood Life, the group, along with Ryan's grandparents, visited Ferg's Sports Bar and Grill. They reportedly sat in the back of the restaurant and ordered burgers and wings--the house specialities.
"They were laughing and cracking jokes non-stop," a source from the restaurant says.
Fans tried to get close to the group since many recognized Justin and Selena, but the bodyguards stationed near the table were able to keep people from getting too close--allowing the entire table a bit of privacy. It must be really difficult to try to enjoy an evening out every now and then with people constantly clamoring for photos and autographs. Fortunately many people are polite, and patiently wait for celebrities to finish eating--asking for autographs or photos when they are leaving the restaurant. Others, however, think they have the right to barge right in and intrude on a private gathering.
While waiting for their food to arrive, Justin Bieber and Ryan Good engaged in a bit of healthy competition playing an arcade game.
"At one point, Justin and his friend walked outside the restaurant to play this punching game we have," the restaurant source says. "Basically, you punch the bag and the machine tells you how hard you hit it. They played that a couple times — they were getting really competitive with each other! It was cute to watch."
It sounds like Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber had a great night out with Ashley Benson and Ryan Good, along with his grandparents. It just goes to show you that celebs don't always have to dine in five star restaurants with haute cuisine. They can have a perfectly good time living the normal life, too.

Cameron: 'You can be a patriotic Scot and vote no'
by James Phillipps on Jul 03, 2014 at 07:00
Prime minister David Cameron is in Scotland today and will tell voters 'you can be a patriotic Scot and vote no'.
Speaking at a Rally for the Union event, Cameron is to say that he is speaking for the 'silent majority, who oppose Scottish independence ahead of the vote in 77 days.
'We've heard the noise of the Nationalist few, but now it is time for the voices of the silent majority to be heard,' he will say.
'The silent majority who feel happy being part of the UK; the silent majority who don't want the risks of going it alone; the silent majority who worry about what separation would mean for their children and grandchildren.
'With 77 days to go, we need the voices of the many to ring out across the land. For each one to realise that they are not alone because there are millions just like them.'
The prime minister will also say that 'we're safer and better off together' with the union offering the 'best of both worlds together'.
'You can be proudly Scottish and want to stay in the UK. Too many people in this country have been made to feel that you can't be a proud Scot and say "No thanks",' he'll say.
'You've got to choose between the Saltire and the Union flag. That is wrong. Loving your country means wanting the best for it – and for Scotland that is staying in the UK.
'So yes – you can be a patriotic Scot and vote no.'
Cameron will be joined at the event by Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson MSP.

Great. Another condescending lecture tour from Dave speaking to only the media and not debating with anyone. Coward.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 09:53
The Times had an article a few years ago stating that net net only 270,000 Scottish residents paid income tax, the other 5,000,000 odd were net beneficiaries.
Scotland wish to replace dependence on the South East English taxpayer with dependence on the Europen Union taxpayer, so not quite 'independence' as I would understand it.
Scotland's %age of GDP coming from the State (ie M25 taxpayer) is around 60%, higher than some USSR satellites during the Cold War.
Salmond expects Scotland to be Europe's 'wind capital' - hasn't occurred to him that power purchasers (you and me) have run out of patience with renewal subsidies. He believes Edinburgh will be the film capital of Europe, and Glasgow the music capital - not clear to me how 'independence' will expedite this plan. I say 'plan', I mean 'fantasy'.
The voter will have no idea what the currency will be (Osborne has ruled out Sterling, and Sainsbury have ruled out The Nectar Point), and no idea whether they will be part of the European Union.
The only 'argument' Salmond can come up with includes the words 'Tory Toffs, Battle of Bannockburn, Brave Heart, and patriotism'. Or to put it another way - he doesn't have an argument.
All that said I'm for 'independence' - this 'independence' would be followed very very quickly by a bailot from the IMF who would then ensure that for the first time in 60 years or so there would be a serious attempt to get Scotland to spend less than it earns.
Fiscal discipline is really what Scotland needs not a different teat for the nation to superglue it's collective lips to..report this

Danny - get your facts right. Although the media won't report it (professors and others, as well as many general public know as well as the BBC - there have been protests here - albeit not reported) are being biased, the figures show Scotland has and does pay more into tax system than it gets out. Everyone who knows what they are talking about knows this fact.
Almost everyone apart from WM tribe know that the currency thing is a bluff. Very few in Scotland think it otherwise.
The Yes campaign is more than Salmond. I know many WM folks want to personalise and isolate the Yes campaign - but its simply not true.
It took Iceland 6 years to leave the EU when they voted to leave! (But Scots will be kicked out in 6 minutes!!!)
Cameron is a coward for not debating. For all she was disliked in Scotland, at least Thatcher would have debated, and stood by her principles.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 13:42
Trainspotter, its not DCs role to debate this one.... the decision is for Scotland to make. Cameron cannot vote on it so why should he do more than express his opinion. The debate should be between the Scots who will be most affected by the outcome, eg Salmond vs Darling or Brown or Danny Callaghan or whoever.
Re the tax debate, there's plenty of number fudging going on by both sides. Bearing in mind how diffcult it is to apportion share of expenses like armed forces, national security, welfare administration etc there is probably no "right" answer and even if Scotland do contribute more than they receive, a big chunk of that is oil related which is a volatile and finite income source. Pretty risky to base a countries future on it.
When it comes to EU membership, use of the pound, sharing embassies, new naval ships manufacturing etc, all of the issues that are being flatly contradicted, it seems again like the risk of a "what if" scenario is high enough to place a big question mark over the viability of the project.
Being English, based in London and with no ties to Scotland, I have no strong opinion either way in the larger debate but I find the level of misinformation, vitriol and outright dishonesty being displayed by both sides to be frankly disgraceful and whatever the result there is likely to be unjustified bitterness and recrimination.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 14:24
It is up to Dave - he after all keeps telling the media his is the PM of the whole of the UK
Oil price has been more stable in the past 5 years than the past 30...
Yes there are a lot of ifs, but only cause UK wont pre-negotiate (unless when they do - take devo max off ballot - then make devo max promises, and currency union "no" comments).
Plenty of oil left - including the untapped stuff on the west coast that was not allowed to be drilled cause of Trident subs....(like McCrone - but in the 80s).
Its not a "project" its a countries' freedom we are talking about.
Wonder when it comes to EU debate, if Cameron would debate with Gordon Brown ? (failed back bencher and ex-chancellor - same as Darling?)
And, with the exception of a few idiots online - all of the debate up here has been civilised. Go read what Margo McDonald said about that.
Sadly, the media don't report how well the debate has revitalised interest in politics up here...report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 15:03
Bit more misinformation there I think Trainspotter as its not strictly true about oil prices is it? In the last 5 years Brent Crude has ranged from $66 per barrel to over $120 and is towards the top of that range now. The price has displayed high volatility and for many people oil is a sell at this level given the growth of shale gas.... suggesting prices could fall which will affect tax revenue. That would also make West of Scotland reserves less economically viable to extract.
And yes you are right that DC is PM of the UK, but this is not a UK wide debate as 90% of the UK population does not get a vote on the matter. This is a local question, and evoking the chance of "freedom" from the "oppressive bond" of the UK is part of what is turning the debate from the rational to the emotional.
Of course the UK will not pre-negotiate. That would be like pre-agreeing a divorce and you are insane if you think that a yes vote would not be seen as a huge snub for Westmninster. In that event, you can expect that rUK politicians will make it as painful and expensive as possible for Scotland to leave. There is strong economic rationale for not having a currency union and not sharing monetary policy, and regardless of the counter arguments, you can expect Westminster will be vindictive and spiteful in its enforcement of its rights. Salmond may hold the threat of defaulting on Scotlands share of debt but rUK covering an extra 10% on national debt will be significantly less disruptice than Scotland having to form a currency and monetary system from scratch.
Not sure the EU debate is that relevant but DC is actually pro so he will probably have to argue against Farage on that one. Given that hes recently very openly argued with Merkel et al, its pretty clear that he is happy to debate that issue.
I dont argue that the referendum has ignited the interest in politics, which is a good thing. I argue with the heavily biased and factually incorrect coverage given by SBC, BBC Scotland, The Scotsman etc on both sides.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 16:40
for clarification who are SBC?report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 16:50
Apologies, meant STV. Think SBC is what Salmond said BBC Scotland would become in the event of a yes.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 17:18
My point is although the Edinburgh agreement is not to pre-negotiate - that's exactly what WM parties are doing.
Have you actually read the McCrone report from the 70s that was made top secret for 30+ years ? Kind of speaks to all this oil is crap info we are getting. Why are companies still investing billions - for a laugh ? Suits WM to downplay revenue just now.
BBC Scotland is a joke - do you realise that only Scottish Politics website stories have a ban on "have your say" - they don't want debate...
I don't say that WM is oppressive - it just doesn't provide a representation of Scottish voting. 26 months or so of labour government have actually counted in respect of what Scotland voted in the past 30 years or so...not really fair representation.
I don't expect WM to be vindictive - after all Dave signed the Edinburgh agreement which states they will abide by decision, and negotiate in good faith.
Can't understand why you harp on about Salmond. Very many Yes supporters don't like him. Yes includes, green, labour, tory, socialist etc. Only the media, and WM politicians like to personalise it to one individual. They hate to see it as a movement.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 17:48
Salmond is the face of "Yes" and so of course he will be identified with it. He is the instigator and most vocal supporter. In the same way that this article and your initial comments personalised the reference to DC, the entire debate has become personal.
I must admit to not having read the McCrone report but a quick google shows that it was published in 1974. I'm not sure that relying on a 40 year old assessment is all that reliable. There is no doubt that oil has contributed significantly to UK tax coffers and if Scotland had been independent for the last 40 years then a sovereign wealth fund like Norway's that Salmond keeps alluding to would no doubt have been possible. But it's not the 70's, and the revenue has been spent and so the debate should be about the future. Interestly there has recently been a rise in investment in the deep water stuff due in part to incentives in the March budget. Looks like WM is providing some help in that area.
I don't know about BBC Scotland but a quick look here - http://www.bbc.com/news/16630456 - suggests a reasonable amount of debate.
Regarding representation in WM, that is a side effect of democracy. Not everyone can be represented by the governing party/coalition and there are no doubt plenty of people across the whole country who did not vote for DC to be PM but on the bright side Scotland does have its own parliament with non inconsiderable powers. OK, they don't control everything, but they can do a lot. Spare a thought for the populations of NW or NE England. I'm pretty sure they didn't vote Tory or Lib Dem and they don't have their own assembly..... Haven't heard them clamouring for independence though.
I repeat that I think its naïve to expect negotiations after a yes to be anything other than extremely painful.report this
Jul 03, 2014 at 22:04
are you eligible to vote
I think not as no person living in Scotland would make the mistake of confusing STV for SBC.
If you have no voting rights ( and thats another debate) then do what DC has done and stop trying to debate it
It 30% yes 30% no and 40% either dont know or cant be bothered
If WM keep patronising the voters then they will get told to sling their hookreport this
Jul 04, 2014 at 08:23
Well mcf, if you had read back through the comments you would see that I already admitted to not being able to vote. Doesn't stop me being interested in the outcome though, and I enjoy the discussion, just not the lying and inaccuracy.
It's a shame that we all don't get a vote. Would be good to see the rest of the country involved more wholeheartedly in the conversation.
Interesting that your response to a well reasoned defence of "No" is to want to shut down the debate. Kind of what trainspotter was suggesting didn't happen.report this
Jul 04, 2014 at 09:03
Ha - shame we don't get a vote.
Rest of Britain getting a vote is like the rest of Europe telling WM what to do - seems like many don't like that - but obviously completely different situation!
Actually not got an issue with rest of countries getting involved in the debate - particularly given the lack of knowledge about the facts - and the amount of lies and scares being provided by WM government.
Of course Yes campaign do not have all the answers - but no one can predict the future - if they claimed to - that is obviously a lie...they certainly have been more engaged with public and debating than dour Darling, Brown, Cameron and Gideon - Jesus what a shower!report this
Jul 04, 2014 at 09:21
Clearly Salmond played a masterstroke by getting "Yes" on the ballot. Campaigning for change and yes is positively charged before you even start. Campaigning for "No" and the status quo is by definition negative. Darling was always going to struggle convincing people to vote for more of the same….. and so they have resorted to the only line they have, the "vote no or its going be a disaster" approach.
I would quite like someone to take out a double page spread in The Scotsman (or similar) and lay out 2 columns, of pros and cons. Clear, honest and factually correct. At least then the voters could make at least a vaguely informed choice.report this

Each year, approximately 3 million women change their name. They give up their maiden names and take their husbands' surname upon marriage. That's 90% of women who marry.
It's traditional. It's expected of a woman in our society. It makes it a heck of a lot easier when you're meeting people and introducing yourself and your husband. And after you have children, it avoids any confusion or suggestion that maybe the kids were born out of wedlock.
What's In a Name?
Most women don't think twice about it. But for some it becomes a personal struggle, especially career-oriented professionals who have worked hard to establish themselves and whose names are respected and widely recognized in their fields.
Is keeping your name a matter of convenience? A social convention? Or a political statement?
Name Choice Equality
The Lucy Stone League, promotes name choice equality and advocates for women who wish to retain their own names after marriage. Named after a 19th century figure in the abolition and women's rights movement, the League sees this decision as a politically-charged issue with far-reaching consequences:
This tradition of name-abandonment by women is so much a part of U.S. culture, that few recognize it for what it is: a powerful instance of sex discrimination which has a major effect on women.
When girls are growing up, they see what they have to look forward to: the abandonment of their identity into the identity of another. What incentive do they have to develop their full identities in their adolescence?
In some prison cultures, inmates are given numbers and their names are taken from them. One purpose of this practice is to strip away a sense of importance and humanity from the inmates....the tradition of women giving up their names is equally damning.
Traditional Expectations
Tammy Jo Eckhart hadn't planned on taking her husband's surname. But when she got engaged, everyone around her expected that she would - and those expectations angered her. Writing in Sister, Columbia University's feminist magazine, she says:
Surnames are one of the most powerful tools used by patriarchy to deny women not only equal rights but even personhood.
Tradition is the only reason why American women have taken their spouses' surnames, since there have never been any laws in the United States dictating which surname must be taken upon marriage. Until very recently...some women have had to go to court in order to keep their maiden name or to change back to it after divorce or widowhood. Since the 1970s, it has been established that people may legally use whichever surname they wish.
....But the assumption is still there, and it is promoted in all of our minds through...the attitudes of government agencies and officials, not to mention our neighbors' and families' reactions to those of us who have decided to buck tradition.
I'm afraid that women who change their names are blindly promoting women as second-class persons, though I suspect that they themselves don't think they are doing this.... To me the difference is whether the woman thought about the choice - just blindly doing anything is not acceptable.
Convenience vs. Politics
Yet, as the saying goes, it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind. And the same can be said for changing her name.
Even women who have thought about the choice and decided to stay with their maiden names find their thinking evolves over time. For many, convenience wins out in the long run as children enter the picture. And when they do change their names, they do so with little fuss. In her commentary "The Maiden Name Debate" in Salon.com, Katie Roiphe observes:
...the maiden name is no longer a fraught political issue. These days, no one is shocked when an independent-minded woman takes her husband's name....Today, the decision is one of convenience, of a kind of luxury — which name do you like the sound of? What do you feel like doing?Sources:
....In the end, many...have decided to change their names....because giving in to bureaucratic pressures is easier than clinging to their old identity....And then, of course, the beauty of the contemporary name change is that you don't have to formally decide. You can keep your name professionally and socially, change your name for the purposes of school lists, or airline tickets...in short, you can maintain an extremely confusing relation to your own name (or names)....
Like much of today's shallow, satisfying, lipstick feminism: One can, in the end, have it both ways.

I think much of politics stems from identity construction. Most discussions about identity are approached from the question of the Other -- include them or teach them or change them. But really, any position of otherness must be mediated by what the Self is. The self mediating the self is the "invisible" point of reference that creates this initial distortion.
Post race isn't exactly the same as post identity. Even if it's a class distinction or, say, identifying as a "punk" which…
After the enlightenment, people started to seriously make a distinction that how they distinguished what they really knew from what was really going on around them. The actual knowledge, epistemes, were favored over "opinions" or doxa. The debate that surrounded that distinction amid the turmoil of increasing technology and religious unrest eventually flipped around: doxa became the norm with epistemes being questioned as being attainable. With this flip, after the revolution of…
Well, it's that time of year when prospective grad students around the country are anxiously pacing around their mailboxes waiting for responses from all the PhD programs they applied to. Many are wondering who accepted them, who rejected them, and, of course, if they got funding. That's the big question. Getting a full-funding offer is the highest mark of acceptance and application success. It's like getting the golden seal of academic and departmental approval. It means you're…

Triple Crown: O Ripper Tyler Wright Triumphs at O'Neill World Cup of Surfing, Julian Wilson Grabs Second
Tyler Wright definitely isn't Hawaiian. But her straight rippage at the O'Neill World Cup of Surfing at Sunset on the North Shore this past weekend might have fooled a few folks.
The Australian Oakley Team youngster bested true Sunset Beach local Coco Ho, ASP World Champion Stephanie Gilmore and World No. 2 Sally Fitzgibbons to top the podium and grab the event title in an impressive display. The 16-year-old shredder also bagged honors as the female 'Triple Crown Rookie of the Year.'
Two-to-four foot surf in a barreling section east of the point near Backyards (beyond the usual contest location due to swell) saw Tyler drop a 9.57 (out of a possible 10 points) for the highest scoring ride of the contest. Her performance in the first few minutes of the Finals – laced with forehand hacks and solid carves – placed intense pressure on the other finalists. But Tyler's overall mindset definitely played a solid role.
"I just really had nothing to lose in these events. I just went in there to have fun and catch some waves," said Tyler, who busted out a two-wave total of 17.24 out of a possible 20 points in the final. "It started pulsing there for a little bit and I was happy."
With her top form and solid recent finishes, her win solidified her spot on next year's World Tour.
"I didn't even know there was a Rookie of the Year title for the Triple Crown until someone told me the other day," she said. "It's really cool. I'm happy to be here and having fun so I guess that's the main thing I suppose. It's awesome that I got in to Pipe (2010 ASP Specialty Series Title at Pipeline). I've surfed there a couple of times now and I love it out there, you get some pretty big barrels."
Women's Results:
1 – Tyler Wright (AUS) 17.24
2 – Coco Ho (HAW) 11.43
3 – Stephanie Gilmore (AUS) 10.27
4 – Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS) 9.96
Another Aussie, Oakley's Julian Wilson, charged big time at Sunset Beach, powering his way to a second place finish – barely edged by a mere 0.17 points by Brazil's Raonio Montero.
But what was more impressive was his run through the contest. With killer form, he smashed through heats with relative ease – breezing past the likes of Hawaiian Granger Larson, Josh Kerr, Adrian Buchanan and even fellow Oakley rider (and No. 2 World Ranked) Jordy Smith.
"I felt like I surfed a pretty good final and it's always a good feeling to come in from a final and feel like you had the chance of winning it and you had the waves," he said. "I had my chance to win and I just fell short."
Julian, who was already presented with the Male "Triple Crown Rookie of the Year" honor, is steaming toward a 2011 World Tour appearance with his latest set of successful contests.
A huge congratulations to both of our Aussie Oakley Riders for an amazing competition at Sunset Beach and for taking Rookie of the Year awards…a great sign for the future of O's formidable Surf Squad.

The following is a guest post from my friend and fellow Underground Strength Coach, Frank DiMeo.
It is always an honor to do a guest blog post for another coach, especially regarding martial arts and strength training.
To many people UFC is the only martial arts they are aware of, but the experienced martial artists know how broad a spectrum martial arts cover.
Whether you are training for personal use, sport, law enforcement, or military there are certain things that apply across all those lines. No one wants to lose a fight, and if you are in law enforcement or the military, losing is not an option. There are no 2nd place trophies for dead people.
Here are a few areas of focus
1) It is imperative that you develop "stopping power" in your strikes/kicks
2) You must be able to sustain a strong isometric hold at various angles
3) Your thinking must be fluid and adaptable instantly
One of the things that triggered my search for "the edge" in my martial arts training was a fight I had with a large tough opponent back in the mid-1970's. This guy took a full-force side kick square in his face and shook it off. Things were not looking good to say the least. In the 5th round I woke with the smelling salts. I could hit him hard, but I couldn't drop him. Something had to change in my training; and it did.
A different instance involved a fight at work with another heavy equipment operator. This started while I was sitting down and got sucker-punched straight down on top of my head. Were you ever taught to defend against that in a dojo? I wasn't. Yes, you can get killed at work, but who would expect something like that? Are you mentally prepared for any type of attack from any angle?
After incorporating Underground Strength, Strongman, and CrossFit the three areas mentioned above have all improved quite a bit.
You know, that sometimes the fight is "quick and dirty"; it's over in a few seconds. Other times it's a longer struggle, and you have to be able to just hold on in order to survive it. Both types require a mindset that is unshakeable, and maintains clarity even in the midst of the "adrenalin dump". You might only close with your attacker once, then someone is injured or dead.
We use a wide variety of training tools and strategies at my gym, I have a few videos below showing some of our athletes, plus an informative PDF at the end.
The first video is about developing a strong isometric hold. Static positions have to be held at various times, and may mean the difference between winning and losing overall. Being able to move swiftly from a position like this to a full speed attack is vital.
Bud Jeffries is a Strongman and martial artist. He can squat 1000lbs, do one-arm rows with 275lbs, do a full split, and move with amazing speed at about 280lbs bodyweight. This is not someone you would care to fight if you didn't have to. Bud uses a lot of isometrics and partial lifts, but he can also do 1000 sprawls during a workout.
Trap bar deadlifts & isometric hold with 124lb keg
The next video is one of our Law Enforcement Officers. He's developed a lot of strength, plus he is fast.
He will win the foot chase with one of the bad guys in most cases.
880LB sled push
We do all the standard barbell lifts for Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting, but refuse to be limited to that. Odd-object lifting is a big part of what we do along with very demanding bodyweight work.
The next video shows some of this.
160LB sandbag loading
It is important to not limit yourself in your thinking or your training. Here's the PDF from Bud Jeffries for your use. Click HERE.

The License Plate Relocator looks good and functions well after installed. A little pricey, but it's not at all flimsy how it may appear in the pictures. The only problem I had (with a 1998 Expedition) is the Aries 3" bull bar this fits is butted up against my bumper and left *no* room for this part. Fortunately I had a rubber mallet laying around and I could fairly easily shape it to my bumper better (this would not stop me from buying another if need be).Was this review helpful for you? YesNo

NORMAN — A good idea turned into a very competitive day of golf Sunday at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club, where the Oklahoma State women prevailed 6-5 over Oklahoma in the inaugural Bedlam Cup, also the first dual between the two programs since 1977.
Morning matches consisted of three different alternate shot competitions between the Cowgirls and Sooners. They were followed by eight one-on-one matches.
OU took two of the three morning matches, but OSU stormed back in the afternoon, winning four of eight, and halving two others to clip the Sooners by the one-point margin.
"Today was a lot of fun and it came down to the wire, which made it really exciting for everyone," said OU head coach Veronique Drouin. "It was good to have the girls in pressure situations before the Big 12 tournament. It was great preparation for us and it was a great confidence builder for postseason play."
The No. 31 Sooners and No. 16 Cowgirls begin play at the Big 12 tournament Friday in Lawrence, Kan.
OU match winners included the teams of Emily Collins and Taylor Schmidt, and Anne-Catherine Tanguay and Jacki Marshall in the alternate-shot format. In the one one one competition, OU received victories from Marshall and Tanguay, while Collins and Jade Staggs both produced half-points for halving their matches.
Sooner men fourth: OU continued its trend of getting better each day, and with a final-round 371 secured fourth place at the Aggie Invitational at Traditions Golf Club in Bryan, Texas Sunday.
OU carded a 54-hole total of 1,132 (52 over par). No. 13 Oregon claimed the event with a 1,109 total, 11 strokes in front of both No. 15 Texas A&M and No. 1 Texas.
Charley Saxon led the Sooners with rounds of 73-71-77—221, good for seventh place in the medalist standings.

Rutgers at Camden Law Dean Defends Marketing Pitch Touting Salaries of $130K for 'Many Top Students'
Posted May 22, 2012 12:13 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
A marketing pitch sent to prospective students by Rutgers University School of Law at Camden touted a 90 percent employment rate in the legal field for its employed graduates and top private-practice salaries in excess of $130,000 for "many top students."
Now law dean Rayman Solomon is defending those claims after critics charged that the statistics are misleading, Inside Higher Ed reports.
According an analysis by Law School Transparency, no more than five recent graduates reported a salary of $130,000. And the 90 percent employment statistics include jobs where having a J.D. is an advantage, the group says. Solomon said he didn't dispute the group's figures, but disagreed with its analysis.
Inside Higher Ed asked Solomon if the numbers were misleading. "I don't know how to respond," he replied. "If you have a hundred people, would four of them be misled? Would one be misled? Would 98 be misled? [It was] a piece that was designed to get people to think about something they hadn't thought about. This wasn't the only information they could get about it."
The marketing pitch targeted students who had taken the Graduate Management Admission Test and promised to waive the law school application fee. People were invited to apply if they had a 3.3 grade point average and scores in the 70th percentile or higher for any one core section of the GMAT. The LSAT Blog, Inside the Law School Scam and Above the Law published the marketing pitch by Camille Andrews, associate dean of enrollment at the law school.

im looking to get a 3 spoke steering wheel off a audi a3. Does anyone know would if it would fit a A2 ok?
Last edited by hulland; 1st December 2008 at 21:44. Reason: spelling
What model of A2 do you have? As i'm not entirely sure if an a3 would fit, however the A2 sport comes with a leather stitched 3 spoke steering wheel, i'm sure that would fit.
Its a Audi a2 se. I will look out for that. Thanks
Yeah that makes sense, the SE has a 4 spoke non-leather wheel I think.
This is the 3 spoke Sport wheel that is standard on the A2 Sport, they will probably come up on ebay soon enough. it looks massive in this pic but its smaller than the standard wheel i think, its just the camera angle
thanks alot. ill keep an eye out on ebay
thats the same wheel as my a3 sport id be suprised if they changed the fittings on them as it will keep the manufactoring costs down abit
It will probably fit but I don't think the controls will work. Multifunction steering wheels have their own control unit. So if your A3 doesn't have a multifunction steering wheel it won't have the control unit and wiring.

the A3 steering wheel will fit. I have fitted one to my A2...

NORMAN — The year was 2007. I had finished getting my first-grade room ready to start a new school year.
The week before, I had noticed a pain in my right breast. I went to my gynecologist, who said it was probably a fibroid.
In three days, I was in the Breast Care Center at Norman Regional Hospital getting tests. My mammogram had come out OK, but I had dense breast tissue, so the ultrasound was necessary in order to get a clearer picture.
I could feel the nurses looking at each other as they did the biopsy and knew it was bad news. Sure enough, the next day, I got the call telling me I had a type of breast cancer called invasive lobular.
I could not take in anything else after hearing the word — "cancer."
My twin sister and my two teammates took me home. My husband, who was my rock, came home and we all cried. Thus, began my journey through cancer.
My radiation therapist sister-in-law gave me great advice. She said to take things one step at a time. That is what I did.
As I had the double mastectomy — because this type of cancer often travels from one breast to the other — I made it through one step at a time. As I went to my chemotherapy treatments, I kept going.
When we came to the place where my hair was falling out, I called my brave 22-year-old daughter to shave my head. As she finished, I started weeping. She hugged me and said, "Momma, this is just the next step in the process. Now you are one step closer to being done."
I began writing down encouraging words and Bible verses and posting them all over the house. I read these daily, and they gave me strength to endure the six months of chemo.
