Oksana Grigorieva got more than she bargained for today -- a marathon court session lasting seven hours.
We shot this video of Oksana leaving the courthouse in downtown L.A. just before 5 PM.
We're told among the items on the court agenda today ... a petition for increased child support, yanking baby Lucia's passport, and attorney's fees.
You're gonna answer one day, boy, you're gonna answer.

LOL those words are going to haunt her I'm sure.
Hey MTT!
In fairness, court folks were being very firm about no cameramen. They'd chased ROL out earlier.
Looks like Miss Oksana is finally learning what they mean by gag.
Mel requested the baby's passport be pulled to keep her from going to Russia, where Oksana had lined up an apartment outside of Moscow. Source was Russian news. Her intention is to keep him from ever having contact with his baby daughter. That is the goal of her entire case. Prove how abusive he is so she can have Lucia to herself. And get more child support as a result. Wicked, vindictive, spiteful.
I think her pointy nose and bulbous lips are fake. I bet she takes them off and puts them in a jar every night before going to bed.
Hey curious!
TMZ needs to get the glasses with the camera built into them so they don't get caught!
Like the porn sites have...Oksana should know about those guys and cameras!!!
yeah but Paula, Marysyka (sp?) said not to trust the Russian papers at this point. Do you agree?
I suspect that Mel Gibson's legal team "indirectly" continued their deposition of Oksana. Her initial incomplete deposition probably gave them ample ammunition to expand their examination into custody related issues. Frankly, I can't really see her coming out ahead since all of her baby's essential living expenses are being paid which would enable Oksana to ACTUALLY WORK AND PROVIDE FOR HER OWN FINANCIAL WELL BEING. It's probably time for the "Russian relatives" she's trying to support to accept that the "Gibson gravy train" has come to a "screeching halt". They're going to have to find "another victim's bones to pick clean". Perhaps Oksana's younger sister(s) will have better luck since she's past her "expiration date".
Since wondering isn't here, I'll fill in -
mo money . . . mo money . . .mine, it was suppose to be mine!
I know wondering will probably steal my nifty tiara for that. =D
The picture of her from maybe 10 years ago.
How about a picture of him from 10 years ago...looking good and not stressed out.
TMZ why do you have the deceased babysitters picture showing on this report?? Please take it down.

The names of roses are as varied as the roses themselves. We look for plants that are easy to care for and a joy to view. This year's selection includes:
Our inventory changes often, so come visit our shop to see what we have on hand.
It's good to feed your roses three to six times a year, depending upon the health of the plant and the type of fertilizer you apply. Use a good organic fertilizer with a ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potash mixed especially for roses. Also, be sure to give your rose beds a 1 to 2 inch layer of good composting mulch. This will give the organic fertilizer the matter it needs for biodegradation. When you visit our shop, ask us about our rose garden supplies.

A single hybrid rose bush needs about 1 inch of water per week, and there are good techniques for watering your plants. If newly planted, be sure to water your roses thoroughly to help settle the soil. Keep the ground moist until the roots establish themselves. It's a good idea to water your roses in the morning. Water slowly so that the moisture will seep deeply. Avoid rust, mildew and black spots by testing the soil before you water. Test the soil with your finger. If the soil is dry below two or three inches, it's probably time to water.
Here are some tips on cutting roses we've gathered over the years:
In Europe, fossilized roses and their fruit have been carbon dated to 35 million years! No one was around to name them then, but at least by 2500 B.C.E. the ancient Greeks were calling roses the tears of the goddess, Aphrodite and the Egyptians were already including them in the tombs of the great kings. In the Western Hemisphere, the wild rose has flourished from Alaska to Mexico and beyond for millennia where it supplied countless indigenous cultures with both food and medicine. In fact, the ubiquity of the rose in human history suggests such a deep, primeval attachment that it's no wonder poets and artists are so compelled to articulate its meaning and its place in the human psyche.

A Better Site Visit January 21, 2004
By Howard Husock
The power to approve a grant can be an intelligence booster: everything one says is suddenly sharp and witty, especially when one visits a program seeking a grant. A site visit, in other words, requires skepticism, but thats not sufficient. A funder must ask, "What, exactly, am I trying to learn, and how should I look for it?" The best site visit requires intellectual engagement before, during, and after.
For three years Ive served as director of the Manhattan Institutes Social Entrepreneurship Initiative awards program, established with support from the J.M. Kaplan Fund. Ive grappled with these questions as I make ten site visits annually for a program that gives, at most, five awards each year. To win an award, a group must meet several criteria:
It must have at its center a bona fide entrepreneur—someone whos started up the organization in the past few years; it must provide a tangible service, not just advocacy, that helps the disadvantaged; and it must receive minimal (at most) government funding. Nominations are invited from donors throughout the country. In each of the past three years, among the 80 to 100 nominees we have found at least twice as many worthy semi-finalists as there were $10,000 awards. How to judge?
Other traps besides flattery await anyone answering that question. A site visitor can, for instance, see himself as no more than the audience for a performance. Or one may see oneself as an auditor, charged with looking through financial reports to ensure a program is managed on the up-and-up and to see how much money goes to programming versus overhead. Or one can search for results, also preferably quantified in some "outcome-related" way, as many United Way chapters have begun to demand.
Such approaches are not wrong, just too limited. Charities should not be judged simply on some standardized rating sheet. Because these programs are products of the intellectual reflection of their founders, a site visitor who knows the larger context of the group hes visiting will have a different, more revealing experience than one who does not.
On my site visits, I meet entrepreneurs who have not only set out to fill unmet needs but have also learned their fields and acquired strong professional views. When I ask them to discuss those views, after first learning what questions will engage them, I greatly increase the likelihood they will go beyond a standard show for visitors and reveal what matters to them, and what frustrations theyve encountered, including mistakes they may be making. Informed empathy encourages candor.
The interview, then, is the heart of an effective site visit based on intellectual engagement. You must not only come with questions but be prepared to draw out those you meet, based on what you hear. When a knowledgeable observer asks someone about the concerns closest to his heart, much can be revealed. But drawing someone out requires inquiry and challenge: If that is true, why would you not also believe X? How do you respond to criticisms Y and Z?
The conversation that develops during this sort of intellectual exchange helps a visitor to see whether the donors and the grantseekers beliefs overlap sufficiently. The Manhattan Institute, for instance, is looking for social entrepreneurs who function largely without government funding, because its ultimate goal is identifying which social services are best provided privately. Only through conversation can I discern whether a revenue statements lack of government monies merely reflects the past or indicates real aversion to government funding.
The intellectually engaged site visit can also reveal inconsistencies. The director of a group serving the formerly homeless, for example, assured me his self-help philosophy sees federal housing programs as counter-productive; so I was surprised to see the organization note—in fine print in its annual report—that it was involved with publicly subsidized housing. Similarly, I noticed the contrast between the emphasis, in conversation, which the founder of a tutoring program for disadvantaged students placed on long-term results, and the lack of such results in the groups annual report. These interviews enhanced my reading of the groups annual reports.
Much can also be learned by talking to people outside the organization whom the groups leaders cite as intellectual influences. I ask organization heads, "Who has influenced or mentored you?" The suggestions alone can be revealing, much less conversation with the persons cited.
This approach to a site visit can be reduced to a series of steps:
Preparation before the visit. Telephone discussion with groups director, review of the organizations literature (brochures, website, annual report, audited financial statement—if no current versions of the last two exist, one has learned something right away).
Self-directed inquiry. The most difficult step, this involves searching for materials—contemporary, historical, cross-cultural—that will let you place a program in the broadest possible context. For instance, before visiting an African-American self-help group, one may want to review W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washingtons debate over black self-help a century ago. Conversations with knowledgeable persons in the field can suggest the best literature to study and also give a sense of the organizations reputation. Im assuming the site visitor is an intellectually curious person who regularly reads a range of "thought magazines" (from the Public Interest and First Things to American Prospect and the New Republic) and op-ed pages. The online Social Science Research Network (www.ssrn.com) is a good source, as are course syllabi, now widely available online on university websites. Frequently quoted academic experts have often assembled reading lists that can serve as great primers.
Site visit itself. Its important not only to have the opportunity for extended conversation with an organizations leaders but also to see the actual programs in progress. I found, for instance, that some classroom-based programs that looked attractive on paper suffered from poor teaching. Casual conversations with staff members can be revealing, too.
Post-visit "due diligence." A review of audited financial statements and annual reports should compare the vision and reach of the organization with its quantifiable results, as well as scrutinizing the nature of income and expenditure, and the types of outside directors on the board. Boards made up of advocates for the cause are normally less helpful than those whose members bring specific skills and community ties, as well as outside perspective.
"Outside" conversation. At this point, having learned much about both the field and the organization, its good to talk to others, perhaps persons who are recommended by the organization and familiar with it or members of its board.
In the end, the key to a successful site visit lies less in following a checklist of dos and donts than in adopting the psychology of intellectual engagement. This approach makes site visiting a hard job. A generalist site visitor may have to learn a field from scratch; seek to understand its historical context; read key new writing that has shaped it and current political debate that surrounds it. The standard for such preparation is the ability, after the visit, to write something knowledgeable about the project in a way that goes beyond sheer observation. But the payoff for all this work is great: the prospect of more discerning judgment about which programs deserve support, and informed advice for those one chooses to support. And not least, the intellectually engaged site visitor should never be bored.

A friend is wanting a Tokarev TT-33 or a variant there of & almost has me talked into one as well. Have any of you seen any at the online dealers lately? I didn't see any at J&G Sales, Aimsurplus, ClassicArms, or any of the few other places i know to try. I'm not looking for anything mint, just a decent shooter. I don't want to deal with Gunbroker for this. Suggestions? If i just find a single, i won't get to keep it, so i really want to find a place with a few in inventory. I did see that Century Arms lists some TTC's, but i'm not 100% on the differences from the TT-33 (don't think I can order direct from them anyway, no FFL or C&R license).

"I'd rather people know God through me and not know me at all
than for people to know me and not know God at all."
My name is Corey Burkhead. I am married to Meredith Burkhead and I am an Associate Pastor at River City Worship Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
I've lived in Louisville, KY my whole life and it wasn't until I was about 18 that I gave my life to Jesus Christ. A few months after this God just laid on my heart a passion to preach His word and share with others what I've learned and experienced.
The heart of my message to everyone is that Jesus loves each and everyone of us and that no matter who you are or what you have done, it's not your past mistakes God is focused on…it's your future potential that He sees.
I attend River City Worship Center right here in Louisville, KY and I encourage you to come visit us any Sunday. If you do I guarantee you'll experience something you've never seen or felt before.
God Bless!
Corey Burkhead

SHANGHAI Chinas crude steel production for the final 10 days of November increased 0.4 percent from the preceding 10 days, according to estimates from the China Iron and Steel Association (Cisa).
Daily crude steel production averaged 1.96 million tonnes in late November, up from 1.952 million tonnes in the second 10 days of the month.
Cisa members, including state-owned and large steel mills, contributed an average daily volume of 1.641 million tonnes during the period. Thats up 0.5 percent in the same comparison.
"Though the fall in long product prices in November gave some steel mills a hard time, firm prices of flats offset the negative effect and encouraged steel mills to produce more," an industry analyst in Beijing told AMM sister publication Steel First.
Average daily crude steel production for November as a whole totaled 1.956 million tonnes. A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Steel First.

There are a few parts of our country which are as fascinating as the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and about which unfortunately, so little is known. The author has successfully traced the gradual development of these islands which initially were a Penal Settlement for the freedom fighters of 1857 but have now turned into a tourist's paradise. This book provides a bird's eye-view of the islands distinctive features and the customs and occupations of the simple primitive tribes as well as the present day development of the islands.

The temple is the most significant monument of Indian architecture as it sums up and represents the subtle values of Indian culture. Elaborations of the temple structure followed the firm temple structure followed the firm establishment of image worship and the accompanying development of the ritual, which took time to crystallise. The evolution of different architectural forms in north, south and other parts of India was a later development. This book presents a comprehensive picture of the chronologicallyuninterrupted chain of extant south Indian temples, explaining the niceties of their architecture, the many subtle variations in style and their evolutin over the years.

Charlie Wilsons War
Written by John Walker
May 08, 2008
Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts star in this true-life tale of a politician who helps fund Afghan rebels so that they can defeat the Russian army. Phillip Seymour Hoffman almost steals the film as a renegade CIA agent who helps Wilson.
Charlie Wilson was a coke-snorting womanizer who drank to excess. He also was a congressman from the great state of Texas. While enjoying a dip in a hot tub with some strippers, he spies a
60 Minutes
piece about Afghan rebels fighting the Russian army. He is immediately inspired to do something.
Wilson uses his political tact combined with the help of CIA agent Gust Avrakotos (Hoffman) and the influence of Joanne Herring (Roberts), the sixth richest woman in Texas, to covertly fund to the rebels without the Russians or Americans finding out.
Director Mike Nichols does a great job keeping this an enjoyable film while showing that the end result was not only the collapse of the Soviet Union but also America's indifference in finishing what it started in Afghanistan and the resultant after-effects of that decision.
Charlie Wilson's War
is definitely worth renting. Any time a film has this much talent you know you can't go wrong. Terrific performances, superb writing and great directing all serve to make this one of the best and most enjoyable films you will have seen in a while.
In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale
Uwe Boll, you rascal you! You've done it again! You convinced some group of suckers to invest money in one of your horrible films! Did you buy a pair of hypnotizing glasses from the back of a comic book that actually worked?
Oh, wait! According to Wikipedia the reason people invest in your films is because of a German law that allows investors in German films to write off 100 percent of their investment if the film loses money!
So in a way, a bunch of wealthy Germans are banking on Uwe Boll's ineptitude and complete lack of cinematic talent to save them some money. So he is getting paid to do something he is completely unqualified for. In America we have something similar but instead of filmmakers we call them politicians.
For those of you who don't know, Uwe Boll is a film director whose only cinematic weakness is his inability to be a film director. But some may argue that
In The Name Of The King
shows a little improvement for Boll and that he may be overcoming his weakness as a director/filmmaker. As the great Jack Handy once said, "If you think a weakness can be turned into a strength, I hate to tell you this, but that's another weakness."
In The Name Of The King
is snore-out-loud bad! It steals generously from
Lord Of The Rings
as well as
. Instead of releasing adrenaline, the action scenes fill your body with pure, 100 percent melatonin! As your mind races with logs being sawed, the films drags along to its absurd and obvious conclusion.
Believe it or not, Uwe Boll does have fans beside rich Germans looking for tax write-offs. These fans talk of how Hollywood will one day be caught in the Uwe Boll movement. I felt after watching this film that I was in some kind of movement. I wouldn't call it a Uwe Boll movement, though strangely enough the movement I'm thinking of does begin with a B.
Did I mention that this film was horrible? Just checking.
In The Name Of the King
stars Jason Statham as Farmer, who is named so because he is a farmer. Burt Reynolds stars as King Toupee and Ray Liotta stars as an evil wizard or a guy that just raided Prince's closet; I never really figured that one out.
The film, based on a video game, follows Farmer, who gets sucked into battle reluctantly when his child is killed and his wife is kidnapped by the evil Krugs. Krugs are basically badly costumed orcs that are controlled by an evil wizard.
Farmer leads an all-star cast on a fantastic odyssey to the magical kingdom of Boredom. With many pit stops in Ripoffville and Insultyourintelligenceburgh, the group finally engages in a final battle that will leave you breathless – mainly because you will be bored to death.
I suggest that you avoid any films by Uwe Boll unless of course you are looking for a sound tax write-off. The investors in this film put up $70 million. The total box-office take? $4,535,117. Ching Ching! Tax write-off, boys! It's a shame I can't write off the four bucks it cost me to rent this film.

For-Sale Romney Is A False Prophet For For-Profit Universities
The New York Times panned Mitt Romney—on its weekend front page no less—for claiming that the way to cut soaring college tuition is through competition by for-profit colleges. "Mitt is shamelessly shilling for his donors," was the story's not-so-subtle message. And about that, the Times might well be right. After all, Bill Heavener, the chief executive of Florida's Full Sail University that Romney singled out twice during campaign stops as his model, has contributed $2,500 to Romney's campaign (as has his wife), the maximum allowed. Heavener also gave $45,000 to Restore Our Future, a Romney "super Pac" as did C. Kevin Laundry, the chairman of the private equity fund that owns Full Sail.
None of this would have mattered if Full Sail actually had a record of providing an affordable, quality education. But NYT found that the college charges more than $80,000 for a 21-month program in "video game art" that graduates just 14 percent of its 272 students on time and only 38 percent at all. And its students carried a median debt load of nearly $59,000 in federal and private loans in 2008.
This is pretty damning stuff— and Full Sail might well be the dog that NYT makes it out to be. But remember what they said about the University of Phoenix? Its recruitment practices are over aggressive. It's over priced. Its class hours are skimpy. Its graduation rates are low. Its faculty and instruction are sub par and yada, yada, yada. All of this was absolutely true, Katherine Mangu-Ward's 10-page investigation of the university two years ago found—but also utterly irrelevant. That's because, she explained:
The university aims to meet underserved demand for post-secondary education, tailor-made to fit the individual circumstances of harried adults. Like other for-profit schools such as DeVry and ITT, Phoenix offers the educational equivalent of a subprime mortgage: not the best product the industry has to offer, but a potentially valuable option for people who might not otherwise get into a desired market.
As with subprimes, a nonnegligible portion of consumers won't be able to stay afloat, exiting school moderately poorer and perhaps not much wiser. But the students who do graduate—like the millions who use subprime deals to gain a firmer foothold in the housing market—have a much different story to tell. Their tales are not about sunshine on the quad, Saturday night football games, or ivy-covered walls. They're about a kind of practical, bare-bones education that you never see in coming-of-age films but that is usually superior to no education at all.
In other words, context matters, and, call me cynical, but I just don't trust the NYT to offer it. For-profit colleges offend liberals so much that they'd find something wrong with Aristotle's Lyceum if it happened to make money.
That said, I think Romney is wrong even about the substance of his claim. I don't think for-profit colleges can cut tuition rates any more than private schools have helped rein in the cost of the public K-12 system. They might make a difference on the margins, but they are no panacea. Why? Because when government pours money into an industry, it bids up the price of the factors of production for everyone. Doling taxpayer dollars to public universities means that they can: pay more to hire professors (which is not an entirely bad thing as my husband works for Michigan State University); spend more on erecting Club Med campuses with hot tubs in dorms etc. etc. And private universities that wish to compete have to match the salaries and facilities offered by their public school peers or go out of business.
Hence, the first step in cutting college tuition inflation is to get government spending out of higher education—not getting for-profit colleges in. But don't expect Romney to say that — unless, maybe, if a donor pays him to do so.
Perhaps we should start a collection?

Jesus is this shit depressing.
We're gonna have to choose between President Furious Solyndra and Mittens "I Get Speakers' Fees From Time To Time, But Not Very Much ($362,000 last year alone) and hey, I 'probably' only pay about 15 percent in taxes anyway"
What's fucked up is that in terms of libertarianism Romney is the only candidate who is at least lying about his desires to shrink government. Obama despises the idea.
So we have that going for us, which is nice I guess.
Gee, and I thought nobody understood me. Welcome to most of my adult life. Can you see why I've been so excited since Ron Paul started polling double digits?
Did you see Uncle Ron's performance at the debates last night?
If you like the guy, don't let him get nominated. He'll just get embarrassed. And I agree with most of what he says.
No one left besides Mittens has a shot in hell of beating the Chosen One.
Mittens. Really.
And now I has a sad again, and must go drink.
"No one left besides Mittens has a shot in hell of beating the Chosen One."
Not much good if the person who beats Obama basically continues all of his policies, as Obama continued Bush's.
I just won't have a pony in this race then... again. It gets tiring having a choice between tyrants, or registering a protest vote.
Another Shit Sandwich/Giant Douche slugfest this November.
"Can you see why I've been so excited since Ron Paul started polling double digits?"
No, he doesn't have a chance. -
Of course he does. It may still be an outside chance, but the second-place candidate when only a few small states have voted can hardly be said to have no chance at all. This isn't 2008.
Intrade has Ron Paul being elected president at 2.5%.
Maybe wishful thinking putting it that high, but I'd say he has a non-zero chance of winning.
It isn't about him having a chance as much as it is about seeing the number of people grow who have a decent sense of life. Ron Paul has doubled and tripled his numbers from 4 years ago. That's a lot of relatively young people coming our way. And they're changing the landscape. We aren't as fringe as we were just a few years ago.
This election cycle is about more than getting Ron Paul elected. It's about laying the field for more libertarianism.
That Team RED primary races have RP polling 20% or higher in the early stages is a good sign that perhaps things are ripe for a huge shift in the near future. Libertarianism is more than a fringe. 1 of 5 or better shows it clearly.
Hope so, but we're up against Team Statism, which comes in two colors...
I agree.
But even a small portion of Congress would make a big difference. We don't need enough to control it; just enough to prohibit shit from going through unchecked (aka Obamacare). 10% would change the dynamics of our political quagmire significantly.
Getting the WH would be huge as well.
The battle is up hill, and it appears that we won't be rid of rank statists. Ever. But ANY influence is a good one.
Doling taxpayer dollars to public universities means that they can: pay more to hire professors (which is not an entirely bad thing as my husband works for Michigan State University)
Sorry guys, it will never happen. How in the fuck could Libertarianism ever take political hold when it's supposed practitioners do not follow it's principles? You work for a "Libertarian" publication decrying coercion and wealth transfers while your husband, and yourself, benefit greatly from the same?
Oh, of course. Driving on public roads is just like making 6 figures working for the Department of Education. Are you claiming that a principled Libertarian would take any form of welfare also, since they drive on public roads? You validate my point.
I suppose you missed in the very next breath she writes:
Hence, the first step in cutting college tuition inflation is to get government spending out of higher education—not getting for-profit colleges in.
Stop trashing America's CEO. When your fucking worth a couple hundred million, 362,000 is a drop in bucket. Romney is fucking loaded, he's fucking Mormon, he's a Masshole, he's likes to play footsie with the wrecking ball of the military industrial complex - -he's flawed, dammit. But he is not a European Socialist and he won't grab our guys. So cease and desist from calling attention to his many flaws -- WE FUCKING GET IT.
that is: won't grab our guns.
Republicans aren't above passing bullshit gun laws.
Reagan managed to do all kinds of damage in California, and didn't he sign the bill outlawing civilians from buyin machine guns manufactured after 86?
Republicans can blow me just as hard as democrats
What is with these stupid children trying to act like journalists with this tripe? You're not a journalist. Get a damn job and do something with your life.
Patience, the Times wasn't bankrupted in a day.
If we just ended the federal student loan program, watch these schools dry up.
I'm for RonPaul 2012, but if drops out i'm voting for Mittens because I need a fucking job. I will vote for Obama or satan himself before I will support a Santorum (google it) let alone a tweaked out cabbage patch doll like Newton Gingrich.
This is how Hitler came to power. We need moral virtue. We need a man of substance like Santorum (google it) or a soothsaying fundamental change agent and Freddie Mac lobbyist like Newton Leroy Gingrich in 2012. *white static resumes*
You're on the internet. Everyone here has already googled Santorum.
Dude, you're fucking crazy.
Umm, I think you owe this guy an apology. Rick Perry has been highly successful in his life. He's married to a great CHRISTIAN woman. He is a college graduate and commander and chief of thousands of warriors who protect our borders for the drug runners and Jack in the Box employees. He has wonderful hair. And was a highly intelligent agricultural commissioner. Some of the Ron Paul supporters need to take a bath!
You forgot the s/ --- /s/ tags
No. She just thinks she's at a Team RED website rather than one that has actual (fiscal) conservative values.
I ate a possum the other day. Callista worked her magic all over it. Then we had sex on the display case at Tiffany's. Freddie Mac has made me, fundamentally, a change agent across the cheaper suburbs of America. WAR IN 2012!
I think I am going to puke now.
Don't puke in the flute.
That should be "War in 2013". Inauguration is in January, not the fucking day after the election.
i know you think you're smart, but elections are all about choices. Uno mas tequilla.
You're a douche.
The Iranians released the hostages as soon as Reagan was elected, not waiting for the inauguration. They might not wait for Neutron to get his finger on the bunker buster button if they know it was coming.
The Iranians released the hostages as soon as Reagan was elected, not waiting for the inauguration.
Not in my timeline. The Iranian govt made sure they did not clear their airspace until immediately after Reagan's oath of office. Speculated that they wanted to deny Carter any claim he "freed" the hostages on his watch.
Reading you again, are you talking about the suddenly productive release negotiations in November and December?
The election most certainly had an impact there. But the release was not assured until January 20th, 1981.
Why would private, for-profit universities drive down the cost of post-secondary education in a way that private not-for-profit universities have not? The not-for-profits are certainly willing to compete with public universities. What makes the for-profits any different?
As long as the student loan market is distorted by the non-dischargeability of student loan debt, don't expect any competitive pressures to bring the cost of education down. Without that distortion, I doubt many of these for-profit schools would even exist.
^ this.
So long as they're both sucking the public teat, the difference is that the non-profits aren't as well run, while the for-profits are run well enough to collect, say, 5% for the investors. -
Agreed. It has to do with the unlimted cheap money, not whether an institution is called "for profit" or not. Students have to start making their college decisions based on how much it costs. Only then will schools start competing on bringing their price tags down.
We can't trust Flip Romney. In other words: He's a Flippin' Mormon. He is also from Massachuetes and he is rich. We need an unprincipled, pork chop from the swag part of Georgia who is a fundamental change agent and a highly sucessful lobbyist for Freddie Mac. Remember The Mountain Meadows!
Hi Idiot. It's schwag, not "swag". Hope this fucking helps. Low grade marijuna in 2012!
Dude, I think you just got PWN3D by a Mormon!
I am a false prophet! The Gold Plates are a superstition!
False prophet or prescient gold bug?
*white static*
Together and alone at last. Giving truth the Gingrich treatment!
"You better know I know what hard times is"
Bring me dope, cocaine, a new wife, and a new roster of GOP candidates. I will try to be good.
You know what you have to do.
Ahh, you've done grand, laddie. Now you know what you have to do. Burn the house down! Burn 'em all!
The vast majority of these comments make absolutely no sense. Tuesday's a little early in the week to be hitting the bottle in earnest, don'cha think?
You said it. Something's in the water (or air) tonight. Hopefully we can get back to the prickly pedantic pretentiousness of petrified personages in short order.
Vote for Obama?
Vote for Romney?
Have my penis cut off? -
Tough call.
It is said that the Amish vote on their knees. Perhaps they are on to something.
As bad as Mutt Rummy is, it's better to take money from universities and suck up to them on the campaign trail than it is to take money from racists and write racism in your newsletter.
You're so clever.
No, mustard isn't clever; mustard is boring.
Hot mustard is not boring. Put a little of that with some sour kraut on a brat and wash it down with a cold Guinness served in a frost stein mug and you will know heaven.
Spicy horseradish mustard is the shit. It does make you shit, though. Also got to have that chinamustard on egg roll.
Mayonnaise is boring. Except for cajun mayonnaise. -
Yeah, but the poster ain't *hot*; s/he's boring.
Still on the Max-pad, eh, mustard?
What the hell happened to this thread already?
Better ask quick.
WRT education, it's interesting Full Sail was brought up since I've also looked into them before and have discounted them.
There are other non-degree schools that provide post-secondary education that are career and/or skills focused which don't rely government subsidies or loan programs to grab students. You can go to traditional art university or a 'modern' art university and pay through the nose or be in massive debt, or if you don't need a degree (or have one already) there are other schools teaching the same skills for much much less.
"There are other non-degree schools that provide post-secondary education that are career and/or skills focused which don't rely government subsidies or loan programs to grab students."
From the article:
"And its students carried a median debt load of nearly $59,000 in *federal* and private loans in 2008."Maybe I'm missing the point, but see that *federal* up there? Comment?
I was referring specifically to other schools, particular those that don't offer degrees (Full Sail and University of Phoenix do) -
Oops. Thanks.
This thread is being trolled hard.
rather's super-manic phase, I think. Yesterday she was shitting up the threads with Dadaist nonsense from "Cleverbot".
Rev. Blue Moon, I think you are as foolish as the person you accused today; look into the mirror
Mardy Fish lost, heller. Again. And he was being a whiny bitch about it too.
I didn't catch any of it because of work. What did he say?
He was getting pissy during the match because he wasn't playing well, yelling at his trainer and friends, and then started complaining to the ref that Falla was getting too much medical attention for leg cramps (which was somewhat warranted, but the way he did it was whiny).
Nadal just won, and now Donald Young is up on Court 6, and I really want to see him win.
"The room's startin to spin real fast... cause of... cause of all the gayness"
And for your amusement, CA cities are now desperately searching for a replacement for the slush-funds which were formerly used to employ poor, drunken Uncle Max until the court said "No!":
"Cities struggle with ending redevelopment agencies"
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/.....1MP58K.DTL -
"Thousands of city workers empty their desks. Offices go dark. Rows of deteriorated buildings may sit untouched.
This is how California's redevelopment program dies."
Thanks. Those sentences made me giggle a lot.
If there is any justice, we'll hear stories like this from all around the country.
Rows of deteriorated buildings may sit untouched.
If they're so fucking deteriorated, then the redevelopment goons weren't doing their jobs anyway, were they?
Note also, that any sentence that contains the word "may" does not have its meaning affecting by inserting "or may not".
So... it's *okay* for, say, Bill Clinton, to get speakers' fees... do I have it right so far?
Pretty much, yeah.
Nothing about the premier of Justified?
I am disappoint.
Oh yeah, I sort of forgot about that show, I'll have to download the second season.
And it appears from episode 1 of season 3 that you will need to have seen season 2 for it to make sense. At least early on.
Season 3 seems to be when dramas tend to go down the shitter. Not always, of course, but many run out of steam and turn melodramatic or repetitive on S3.
Let us hope this is not the case with Justified.
This is like the worst chat room ever.
This is like the worst chat room ever.

"which is not an entirely bad thing as my husband works for Michigan State University"
Government spending is good when it benefits me, is that your reasoning, Shikha? Sounds like a pretty low bar.
Via Alan Vanneman: "Sherlock Holmes and the Giant Roadzzzzzz! of Sumatra."
Who shat the thread?
not for profit universities don't sell subprime degrees as well? what was OWS about other than that?
Man I never would have thought about it like like that. Makes sesne dude.
Romney also got donations from Todd Nelson, of EDMC.
The private loans created by for-profit colleges like "AI" Art Institutes, run by EDMC, and other for-profit colleges were given out ala sub prime housing crisis. These balance were nothing more than a supplement to jack up the prices so they could maximize FEDERAL loans, grants, and GI Bill Money. They lure in and target low income people with big dreams by creating impulsed based programs that in reality have no value in the real world due to their low pay. They fluffed the value of these degrees. Their recruiters lied. Their loan officers lied. They knew these loans go bad. They've created a system that the Department of Education doesn't see it happen in the 2 year window. I firmly believe that the schools' loan officers were rewarded to steer students to these absurd private loans. I know in my case, I was told that Private loans were "loans from Sallie Mae, our preferred FEDERAL lender." abusing the relationships the schools had prior to the healthcare laws. They have Sallie Mae and their subsidiaries push students into deferments and forbearance and then Sallie Mae collects the defaulted government loans. The private loans are written off in their books far away from the eyes of regulators investors, and anyone who could change the system and most of all parents. These students are now trapped in these balances. The lenders have NO incentive to work with students. The students can't declare bankruptcy. The players keep lobbying away more and more rights so they win. Its the perfect scam. By the time the student is aware of what is happening, they're locked in balances they can never afford and their legal right to sue the schools is either expired or taken away with arbitration agreements, hurried through in high pressure "interviews".
These for-profit colleges must be stopped and all students should be refunded. This is the new subprime crisis. Why else would Goldman Sachs own 41% of EDMC

New England Patriots: 5 Players Who Stood out in Preseason
By Andrew Ralph ,
With the New England Patriots preseason coming to a conclusion in Foxboro with a loss to the New York Giants, it is time to look back at all four of the games and see which five Patriots have stood out in the stat book.
The New England Patriots got off to a good start in the first two games as they took the first one in Foxboro as they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars by a score of 47-12. The second game, they had the same type of game, but this time it was away against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Patriots defeated the Buccaneers by a score of 31-14.
However, games three and four for the Patriots, they did not lead to the same fate. The Patriots fell to the Detroit Lions in embarrassing fashion as they lost 34-10 and the next week lost to the New York Giants by the score of 18-17.
Through all of these games, there were a few Patriots who really stood out, and it is time to take a look at those players and what they did for the team.
Aaron Hernandez has been quite the surprise so far in only his second year with the team after being drafted out of Florida, and this preseason has just been a continuation of where he left off. Hernandez had 6 catches for 68 yards in the preseason opener just to show fans that last year where he caught 45 passes for a combined 563 yards was not just a fluke.
In the second game against the Buccaneers, Hernandez kept being a threat in the passing game when he caught 3 passes for 42 yards and a touchdown. These numbers would continue to stack up as he was able to catch 6 balls in the following two losses for a combined 68 yards.
Hernandez is going to be a target for Tom Brady in the upcoming season as he is an athletic tight end with very good hands. The Patriots have always been known to use their tight ends as weapons in the red zone as well as options to open up other receivers over the middle.
Expect Aaron to have a better year than last year with a year of experience under his belt.
Rookie back Stevan Ridley was selected in the third round of this years draft by the Patriots out of LSU. Ridley had a great first two games in which he rushed for a combined 148 yards and 2 touchdowns on 30 carries. However, Ridley did not see action in the final two games of the preseason with an undisclosed injury.
The injury should not really be a concern for anyone as this back looked explosive out of the backfield as well as showing a lot of athletic ability shaking tacklers. Ridley in combination with BenJarvis Green-Ellis and Danny Woodhead should make for a deadly trio for Tom Brady to use.
Expect the Patriots to use Stevan Ridley on some third downs as well as some halfback screens in which allows him to use his speed a lot like Danny Woodhead would. With a couple years under Ridley's belt, he could be a real steal in the third round.
Quarterback Ryan Mallett has some big shoes to fill when he takes over this team in a few seasons. However, Mallett did look very good in the couple of snaps each game he did take.
In game one against the Jaguars, Mallett was 12/19 with 164 yards and a touchdown passing. He looked to have a lot of power behind the ball and continuing where he left off in college. From the first game, he saw a few less snaps and looked a little more out of sync, but there really should not be anything to worry about.
Ryan Mallett looked very calm in the pocket which should be a very big relief for Patriots fans in only his rookie season. In all of the preseason, Mallet only threw one interception which is a very good statistic considering he threw 63 passes.
In one game alone, Michael Vick was able to throw three interceptions. This is not a comparison of the two players, it is just a statistic.
Expect Mallett to be a solid quarterback as he will be behind one of the best in the league, Tom Brady. With time, he will be able to learn the Patriots offense and take over the team in the future.
The defensive secondary was one of the biggest question marks last season for the New England Patriots beside their rookie, Devin McCourty. However, it was not McCourty making plays this preseason, it was Darius Butler.
Darius Butler had 15 tackles and one tackle for loss in the four preseason games in which the Patriots played. This statistic should be one in which stands out to a lot of fans because finding a cornerback that knows how to tackle is one you really want to keep.
Expect Butler to have a pretty quiet season as there will be a lot of quarterbacks throwing at Devin McCourty after seeing how the Lions ripped him to shreds. Butler has the skill to make a big play, but do not expect that many out of him this season.
Jerod Mayo is going to need to step up for the Patriots defense in order to be successful in this upcoming season. Mayo is an explosive linebacker who can tackle as well as one who can cover receivers, tight ends, or even running backs.
This preseason, Mayo showed exactly those skills as he had 13 tackles and 2 sacks in the two preseason games he played. Those numbers are really not a surprise to Patriots fans because Mayo has really become the playmaker on the defense.
Expect the same numbers or even better from Jerod Mayo this year as he probably will be used in more blitz packages coming from the inside linebacker position. Mayo will make a few very good plays to open up more eyes just like he has so far in his couple years in New England.

A MAN has been charged with the murder of Birkenhead market trader Bashir Ahmed.
Gerard Brian Murphy, 33, of no fixed abode, was set to appear before Wirral Magistrates this afternoon.
Mr Ahmed was assaulted in his flat on the Woodlands, Birkenhead on August 9 2007.
He remained virtually paralysed and on a ventilator after the attack, until he died from his injuries in August 2009 at Manchester Royal Infirmary.
Stall holders reacted with shock to the attack at the time, describing Mr Ahmed, known locally as 'Pete', as a loved and respected member of the Birkenhead community.
Danny Doyle, marketing director at the market, said: "He's a really likeable character, and everyone here knows him as a thorough gentleman.
"Bashir was the first Asian trader at the market and he came here in 1973, he was part of that vanguard of people who really became part of the community, he had respect here."

Goodbye Branson!
Today was our last day in Branson and we're sorry to say goodbye. The day started off sunny and bright once again. We have had exceptional weather this whole trip so far. No rain since a little bit on our first day. It's been really warm, in the 90s every day, but there is no humidity so it's not bad. We started off with a 'Breakfast with the Stars' here at the resort. ...

The moment we walked into the Chapel, the beauty of it brought tears to my eyes, of course Tom laughed at me and said he'd wait for me outside. I did the tour and loved every minute of it. As we left the grounds, I realized that we were only about 18 miles from the border of Oklahoma ...

Liquid Bar & Lounge's menu of small plates puts a tropical twist on classic pub fare. Duos or quartets can sip on a revolving daily soup, such as pumpkin (Tuesdays) or pepperpot (Mondays), or weigh down flighty tummies with wings slathered in buffalo, barbecue, garlic-parmesan, jerk, spicy, or chipotle sauce. A cadre of island-influenced fare includes conch fritters, fried calamari with cherry jalapeño, and shrimp riding a wave of guacamole on a corn-chip surfboard. Once small plates have sated their stomachs' appetite for savories, diners can break promises to the tooth fairy with desserts such as bread pudding drenched in rum sauce, sweet spanish fritters, or slabs of red-velvet cake.
The culinary artists at Xaga Sushi furl comestibles from a menu that gives diners glimpses of sashimi sea legs and flirtatious fusion winks. During roll call, guests give shout outs to a Pink Lady roll ($12) and her mix of spicy crab, eel, avocado, and tobiko, all wrapped in a pink soy paper. Caribbean rolls ($12) sparkle with a regal blend of eel, spicy crunch tuna, avocado, and a four-tiered crown of caviar ($12). Those who prefer their aquatic life cooked may scale Xaga's Snow Mountain rolls of tempura shrimp ($11), and others toss black pepper steak cubes ($15) across tables like a game of meat dice in the alley.
Pantano's Kitchen keeps its chefs busy all day. Starting with the morning's frittatas and pancakes, they transition to paninis, burgers, and deli fare as the hours progress. But they'll gladly make breakfast specialties all day alongside the more than 200 menu options diverse enough to please entire families or each head of a picky Cerberus. As diners deliberate further on build-your-own burger and salad choices, flat-screen TVs flicker with stock quotes and sporting events.
Owners Sarac and Eddie divide up duties at Mermaid Restaurant, as Sarac infuses traditional Italian and French recipes with his signature flair in the kitchen and Eddie dotes on patrons and their imaginary dates in the dining room. Eddie and Sarac's symbiotic relationship mirrors that of their Italian and French dishes, which seamlessly mingle on the menu. Upscale entrees bridge the gap between the two countries: short cavatelli pasta brings the flavors of Italy, while côtelettes d'agneau, grilled baby lamb chops in a rhone red wine demi glace sauce, fills patrons' mouths with French-born flavors without anyone having to lick the Eiffel Tower.
A hefty list of wines complements both the upscale fare and the ambience, with racks full of bottles surrounding the dining room. Soft light shines down, accenting hardwood floors, and crisp white tablecloths make an elegant landing pad for each dish or drink.
Sanibel Chophouse's owner was inspired by summers spent on Sanibel Island (on Florida's Gulf Coast) to create a restaurant with an elegant, island-resort atmosphere and classically prepared steak and seafood dishes. Navigate Sanibel's surf-and-turf matrix to perform a linear computation of six meats, such as filet mignon and chicken cutlets, and four seafoods, including lobster tail and Maryland crab cake (range $24–$45, mean $32.42, median $32.50, mode $28 and $32). Or go for the easy-to-hold chophouse burger: applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, fried onion strings, and special sauce stacked atop a huge, juicy ground-beef circle (served with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and fries, $14). The menu is rife with meaty eats, such as cider-brined pork chops ($21), and dry-aged steaks, including a 20-ounce rib eye ($32).

In this brief contribution, an efficient pipeline architecture is proposed for the realization of the Prime Factor Algorithm (PFA) for digital signal processing. By using the extended diagonal feature of the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) mapping, we show that the input data sequence can be directly loaded into a multidimensional array for the PFA computation without any permutation. Short length modules are modified such that an in-place and in-order computation is allowed. The computed results can then be directly restored back to the memory array without the need for further reordering. More importantly, the CRT mapping can also be used to represent the output data, hence we can utilize the extended diagonal feature of the CRT mapping to directly send the computed results to the outside world. As compared to the previous approaches, the present approach requires no shifting or rotation during the data loading and retrieval processes. In the case of multidimensional PFA computation, it does not require the computation to be split up into a number of two-dimensional computations. Hence, the overhead required for data loading and retrieval in each two-dimensional stage can be saved.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. —
Half way around the world, nearly a lifetime ago, a young man from rural Indiana found himself as a prisoner of war.
At 19, Robert Gene Archer was still a teenager in late 1950 when he was reportedly captured near the Chosin Reservoir in communist North Korea. Cpl. Archer, a light truck driver and infantryman, would die as a captive of the North Korean forces in that distant place, far from his family, friends and home.
Now, thanks to DNA testing by the U.S. military using samples from Archer's surviving relatives, Cpl. Archer's remains have been identified and returned to his hometown of Brazil. They arrived at the French Funeral Home early Tuesday afternoon.
"It's really good that they brought him home," said Jim Archer, a nephew of Cpl. Archer. "We're just honored."
Jim Archer and his cousin, John Archer were too young to recall their uncle, who died serving in the Korean War, 1950-1953. But they said their older relatives never forgot "Uncle Robert."
"My mom and dad always talked about him," John Archer said, standing outside the French Funeral Home, where services for his uncle are scheduled for Saturday morning. Burial will follow the services with full military honors.
A large contingent, including veterans groups, escorted Archer's remains Tuesday from the Indianapolis International Airport to Clay County, where Robert Archer attended high school and worked at Mohr's Garage in Brazil before enlisting in the U.S. Army.
"We try to do this whenever we can," said Toni Brown, a member of the Greenwood American Legion Post, who was part of the large escort. "We still have a lot of [military men and women missing in action]," she said. "We need to get more of them home."
Archer is one of six U.S. veterans identified through DNA testing so far this year, according to the Defense Department. His remains were identified on Jan. 14.
There are approximately 88,000 military men and women missing in action from World War II through the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to U.S. government data.
Archer has been awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Prisoner of War Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal.
For his family members still living in Clay County, having their uncle back home brings a long-overdue sense of closure and satisfaction. It also brings a sense of pride.
"You've got to admire the people that go in the service and fight for our country," said John Archer leaving the funeral home. "How can you not be proud?"

PHILADELPHIA — Higher education experts say an accreditation warning issued to Penn State is serious and appropriate given the issues raised by a recent child sex-abuse scandal, but the school is unlikely to lose its accreditation.
They also expect the university to comply quickly with demands to show its governance, finances and integrity meet standards set by its accreditation agency.
The Middle States Commission on Higher Education issued the warning last week based on the school's handling of molestation allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Judith Eaton, president of the Commission on Higher Education Accreditation, said Tuesday that it's highly unlikely Penn State will end up on probation or lose its accreditation.
Students cannot use federal funds — including Pell grants and government loans — to attend unaccredited schools.

Talents are completely different to specs. You choose a spec say Prot or Holy for Paladin, which equates to a role with some characteristics e.g. Tank or Healer. The talents allow you to customise your character to make it more personal to your playstyle, while still theoretically performing the role as well as someone else with the same spec but different talents.
Dual spec allows a character to have 2 roles, which is really useful for levelling a healer or a tank by having a dps levelling spec, or allowing a char to have a PvP spec. Dual specs aren't going anywhere.
