Research students can register at The Courtauld with MPhil/PhD status, or with occasional student status.
The Courtauld is an excellent centre for pursuing research in the history of art. Our research facilities are exceptional, including The Courtauld Gallery, the book library and picture libraries, and access to other resources across London and beyond.
We have by far the largest body of postgraduate art history students in the UK, and we support an active research environment in which dialogue between staff and students is central.
MPhil/PhD students register at The Courtauld for the duration of their research, complete all monitoring excercises, and are awarded the degree at the end of their studies. Students may enrol for a full- or part-time PhD. Full-time study is for three years, part-time for six.
Occasional students are usually registered at another university, but wish to spend a period of time at The Courtauld. There are no assessments of their work, and no awards granted to occasional students.

Our teaching staff supervise research from Antiquity to the present. You must identify a member of staff who would be best suited to supervise your research and to contact him or her by e-mail to find out whether they are in a position to take on new research students and whether they are able to supervise your work. However, if you are unable to make this determination and are made an offer, a supervisor will be assigned to you. S/he will support you and equip you with the discipline and training to produce substantial and sustained pieces of research and all the skills that academic work entails.
The Research Forum offers access to a range of visiting speakers from around the world, complementing the wealth of expertise available from our own staff. A series of research training opportunities runs alongside your research activity and is designed to introduce graduate students to the skills needed to operate in the 21st century academy.
Our Research Students' Skills Training Programme, which is designed to help you make the most of your academic work, will provide practical help and advice on presenting your work at conferences, having your research published and getting a job in the Academy. Sessions are also offered on IT skills for research students, completing your PhD and applying for further funding. The Courtauld is a founder member of ReSkIN, a community of scholars in the visual arts from across the University of London. ReSkIN marks the launch of each new academic year with a two-day conference looking at the skills, methodologies and techniques needed for the study of visual culture. In addition to taking advantage of the formal training programme, students are encouraged to discuss their individual training needs with their supervisor with a view to pursuing topic-specific training.
Occasional and guest students attend The Courtauld either for a term, two terms or a year at research level. Both are designed for those engaged in independent research or registered for research degrees at other institutions.
Occasional students will be offered advice by a member of the academic staff on their research topics in terms of resources, contacts, and approaches. Advice does not, however, mean the direction or supervision of research. Students are entitled to a maximum of two meetings each term with a specialist in their field. Students in this category are also allowed to use and borrow from The Courtauld's book and photograph libraries, and they may attend lectures at the discretion of their advisor.
Guest students are permitted only to use (but not borrow from) the book and photograph libraries.
No qualification is offered to occasional or guest students, though certificates of attendance may be provided on request. Please note that, as occasional and guest students are not considered full-time students at the Institute, we are unable to give visa support to applicants.
Research degrees are awarded on assessment of the completed thesis alone. The assessment for the PhD consists of a thesis of around 100,000 words and an oral examination of the thesis. Some recent successful PhD topics include:
- Piety and Purgatory: Wall-mounted Memorials from the Southern Netherlands c. 1380-1520
- The possibility of an island : the adolescent condition in contemporary art in New York
- The avant-garde as Swain : a critical American pastoral
- Architecture and the Government Minister, 1688-1714
- The Fine Art of Displaying a History of Art: Exhibiting and Cataloguing Art in Denmark from c.1760-1900
- Rescuing Wagner: the Cultural Politics of Set-Design in Germany 1924 -1938
Please visit our research pages for further information about postgraduate research.

FARGO, N.D. - "Mom, our teacher told us that we might not have potatoes on the school menu very much anymore," my 13-year-old daughter announced at our dinner table. She didn't sound very happy about it.
"That hasn't been decided yet," I said.
My daughter had an oven-roasted, herbed potato speared on her fork, and she admired it before savoring a bite. She enjoys potatoes and grew some purple and red potato varieties in our backyard garden through the years.
Potatoes have been on the chopping block, so to speak, as debate continues on the revamping of school menus nationwide. Is the issue what's naturally in a potato or what's added to a potato?
Potatoes are not as high in calories as you might imagine. A medium-sized plain potato (5 ounces) has about 110 calories. That's just one-twentieth of the daily calorie needs for an average adult (2,000 calories).
If we put a Nutrition Facts label on that 110-calorie potato, you would see that it provides 3 grams of fiber, 45 percent of the daily recommendation for vitamin C, 18 percent of the daily value for potassium, no sodium, 6 percent of the daily value for folate and 8 percent of the daily recommendation for thiamine and niacin.
Besides their vitamin C content, potatoes are notably high in potassium, which is a mineral that helps muscles contract. Adequate potassium has been shown to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke.
However, if you slice a potato, plunge it into boiling oil and then generously sprinkle it with salt, obviously you will increase the calories and the sodium content.
To put the calories and sodium in perspective, consider this about the 110-calorie, 5-ounce, sodium-free spud. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrient database, a 5-ounce serving of fast-food french fries has about 440 calories and 320 milligrams of sodium. If you ate 5 ounces of potato chips, you would be consuming about 760 calories and 670 grams of sodium.
Actually, a serving size of chips is 1 ounce or about 15 chips. However, eating one chip can easily lead to eating dozens of chips, so measure out a serving in a bowl and put the bag in the cupboard. Yes, you can enjoy a side of french fries and some chips on occasion, but have a small portion and savor it slowly. If you order a side of french fries, remember that today's child-sized portion of fries was the adult-sized portion a few decades ago.
Think about the toppings you add to baked potatoes. Let's say you decide to have a stuffed potato and the chef adds 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of bacon bits. Your 110-calorie potato now has about 460 calories and a heaping dose of sodium.
If you added 1/4 cup of chili to a 5-ounce potato, you would have an entree with less than 200 calories.
Potatoes are an economical menu option that can be made in a wide variety of ways. To preserve nutrients and fiber, cook the potatoes in their skins and eat the skin, or peel as thinly as possible. Many of the nutrients are directly beneath the skin in an area known as the cambium.
When preparation time is short for dinner, try making a baked potato bar featuring toppings such as chili with beans, steamed broccoli, lower-fat cheese (such as mozzarella) and light sour cream or plain yogurt. If you have leftover roasted pork, chicken or beef, add some barbecue sauce and top potatoes with it. How about taco potatoes using leftover taco meat and reduced-fat, Mexican-style cheese?
Enjoy a wide variety of vegetables in your diet. Consider your preparation methods and toppings.
Here's a tasty way to enjoy potatoes. To complete your meal, add meatloaf, mixed veggies, apple slices and milk.
Rosemary Roasted
Baby Red Potatoes
1 pound small, red potatoes
2 Tbsp. olive oil or canola oil
1/2 tsp. crushed, dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 400F. Wash potatoes thoroughly. Cut in half. Arrange in shallow pan. Drizzle with oil and turn to coat well. Sprinkle with rosemary and salt. Stir to mix well. Bake uncovered in a 400 F oven. Stir occasionally until tender (25 to 35 minutes).
Makes four servings. Each serving has 145 calories, 18 grams (g) of carbohydrate, 7 g of fat, 2 g of fiber and 298 milligrams of sodium.

Angie's List: Inaccurate Reviews And Busted Stock
The Better Business Bureau has been doing it for years. Your courthouse can render complaints containing them. And you probably have spoken to enough local confidants that can render the same results. We're, of course, talking about aggregating customer reviews for public display or simply 'discussing the pros and cons of business ethics', the business model that Angie's List, the company that hasn't profited in 17 years, believes is her own. Started in Columbus, OH by going door-to-door collecting customer reviews of local contractors they've hired, the company currently based in Indianapolis, Indiana has seemingly cornered the market in allowing people to sound off on contractors, social workers, dentists, bakeries or whatever business they've experienced in the past...for a fee.
You've seen the commercials touting customers are able to 'find the right contractor to do the job you need'. The things the commercial won't brag too heavily about, however, are the fees involved in doing so. And the fact that businesses, in retrospect, indirectly pay to be on Angie's List. The business model is relatively weak considering it was re-branded from Unified Neighbor, an old-school platform that aggregated the same information except using current technological platforms. Here's the whole enchilada behind the review site:
If you decide to replace your roof, and pay the fee for Angie's List reviews on local contractors, you will surely find someone to do the work. You'll read the reviews, make an educated decision, and eventually hire the company. Said company works on roof, takes 15 days longer to complete process and finally finishes the job. You leave your 'C' review in hopes to wake others up to their lackadaisical work ethic. Unfortunately, those with an "A" or "B" rating are invited to advertise and appear within the first page of search results to assure continued business; if you're a school teacher, two A's and one C nicely come out between a B-A (if graded on the curve). Why mention this? Simple: two of said company's best buddies can pay the small fee, leave their good review under the radar and get reimbursed by said company.
On the flip side, competitor companies can literally bury their competition 'under the radar' by inviting customers to increase their value while demoting (albeit incrementally) their competition. They can pay each other off. And you, the customer, just paid the membership fee just to have inaccurate information presented before you. Not to mention getting your membership fee refunded has been known to pose issues if problems arise with your membership or a review.

"Does the job for me perfectly"
4.0 starson by krisztoforoPros: Easy setup, one button operation, wife-friendly
Cons: Screen could have higher resolution, no RF
Summary: Basic setup is a breeze, I was done with it in 15 minutes and had true 1 button functionality to control my whole setup (major wife pleaser). You need to spend much more time to customize it though if needed (but again, no remote will ever guess everybody's custom preferences). I was debating between the Logitech 880, HK TC30 and this remote, ultimately I chose this because the button layout seemed more intuitive than those other 2.
I don't have an overly complicated setup (TV, AV receiver, DVD/CD player, Cable box with HD, XM radio) but the remote just does its job perfectly for me.
All my devices were in Monster's database (even some functionality that's missing from my original remotes, e.g. my TVs original remote doesn't have an option to select an input, Monster's database had) so there was no need to teach new codes to this remote.
I wish the screen had higher resolution though. Also, it doesn't have RF capability (if you don't know what it is you probably don't need it).
Price seems a bit high, but everything's relative, the other 2 remotes I mentioned are somewhat cheaper.

Childhood Lead Poisoning
Lead poisoning is the No. 1 environmental health threat to children in the U.S. Nationwide, one in every 11 children between the ages of 1 and 5 has an elevated level of lead in his or her blood. Children exposed to too much lead may have reading disabilities and problems with attention and motor coordination when they enter school. They may also exhibit behavioral problems. In most cases, there are no obvious symptoms to indicate that the child is being exposed to dangerous levels of lead. The only way to be sure that your children don't have lead poisoning is to get them tested. New York State requires lead screening of all children under age 6. Children enrolling in licensed day care or preschool must have a certificate of lead screening. Ask your doctor, or call your local health department to find out where to have the test done. Depending on your income, the tests may be free. |

LOL, A&M in a BCS bowl
Let me say first that I think at this point in the season, we should be looking at ANY bowl invitation as a bonus for our program. That being said, I'd have an awful hard time leaving Phoenix for a December trip to New York.
Originally Posted by fenton06 LOL, A&M in a BCS bowl Um.. they are a top 10 team. Not that laughable.
Sure at this point, I'll listen to any bowl talk, but I certainly hope as the victories start piling up... our direction begins to rapidly seek out greener pastures.
Keep in mind that this same guy had some pretty abysmal picks in week 2 in the Big 12. Big 12 predictions: Week 2 - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
Originally Posted by jaretac Not figuring the 6 wins needed and just looking at filling the bowls, at this point there is really no question that we are better than the two Kansas schools. Missouri, who I predicted all along was going to have problems this season, looks like they might be a winnable game for us. And I'm sorry, but Texas and Texas Tech really haven't impressed me yet. Texas rallied at home to beat a team that didn't even finish in the upper half of the MWC last season. Texas Tech had a good second half against Texas St., but Wyoming only put up 5 fewer points against Texas St. this weekend and allowed just as many points. Texas St is a very very bad team and that Tech was down at the half is concerning if your a Tech fan. To get to six wins we have to beat UConn, Kansas, and K-State and then steal a win from Texas/Missouri/Tech. Very doable, but I hope we don't have a letdown against Uconn on Friday.
Wow, we're getting pretty ahead of ourselves. I'm as happy as the next guy over our victory this weekend, but this wasn't a premier Iowa team. With Jantz arriving, and this team playing incredibly scrappy for their coach, there is A LOT to be excited about...i agree with that. But we have a brutal schedule. My goals going into this season: 1. Steal 2 games from teams we "shouldn't" beat on paper. Texas, Oklahoma, A&M, Baylor (they're now in this group...wasn't planning on that), OKSU, Iowa, Mizzou. We got one....I'm asking for one more. If we play inspired football like we did yesterday...we might get that...hell, we might get TWO or THREE if we stay healthy. Texas is under performing, but they're scrappy and will have a chip on their should from last year. Oklahoma is the best team in the country, A&M is a solid team this year, Baylor is total wild card, Mizzou is better than they're playing and if they get their **** together by the time we play them they'll be a hand full. 2. Win all the games that we SHOULD win. UNI obviously, Kansas, K-State, Uconn, and Tech are all winnable games. I'm really hoping for a UConn blow out, but I have a gut feeling they overlooked Vandy in anticipation for us. Could be in a fist fight, but it's winnable. Kansas and K-State are both winnable....we can't take them for granted (you can't take anyone for granted), same with Tech. 3. Show up to every game and don't get blown out. We have some national exposure this year, and need to show up for EVERY game. We can't take a 50-14 drubbing at the hands of anyone. We're a good team and need to earn the countries respect. If we lose, we have to go down swinging. 4. Make a bowl game. Not going to ***** about what Bowl we make...just making a bowl game with this brutal schedule and not getting blown out at all would be a huge win.
Heck yeah NYC....I'll be on the train down there for sure! Also, we should all be rooting for OU to not lose a game (except to us, of course) so they make the title game, which will give the Big 12 an extra bowl participant, assuming we have enough eligible (which will be difficult with 9 game schedule).
Originally Posted by daphins I'm really hoping for a UConn blow out, but I have a gut feeling they overlooked Vandy in anticipation for us. I agree with everything else you said, but to me this statement seems kind of laughable. Although, you may have a point that they were looking ahead to us since it will be a home game at their venue on national television. But there is no way that they are looking past an SEC team, and I don't care that it is Vanderbilt.
Originally Posted by cyclonedave25 Not as good as San Diego or San Antonio or Dallas, but I'll take any bowl game at this point. This. Any bowl talk is a good thing.
It is early for bowl-talk, but I could see New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Thu 12/30 and Cowboys at Giants on Sun, 1/1! Great Weekend in NYC!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion - no matter how wrong they may be.
We could go to a bowl game in Alaska and i would be just as pumped!!!
ill take tempe please!!!!!

Oh, I remember some dude from another board called "Bear" who lived in Adelaide and he had the exact same set up as you do.

I finally scanned a relatively new (3 months) pic of my setup. I've added equipment racks for power conditioning and amplifiers since then along with production equipment. But you see the main DJ equipment there. I keep my records underneath the stand and on shelves behind me.
Nice setup Scottaculous, I like the slipmats too. But I reckon you should have gotten the DJM-600 in black so it would match all of your other equipment

Ouya game console launch pushed back Video
Ouya game console launch pushed back Video Transcript
You'll have to wait to oggle with the Ouya. I'm Bridget Carey, and this is your CNET Update. The video game startup Ouya has pushed back the launch date of its console system until June 25th, which is three weeks later than when it was originally supposed to ship. The Ouya is an Android-based game system for the living room that costs $99, and all games are downloadable and free to try. The company says the launch is delayed because it needs more time to meet high retail demand. And Ouya's CEO also said the company is making adjustments to improve the controller. The Ouya will be sold at Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and Target. But it's already been shipping devices to people who funded its original development through kick-starter donations. Technology has enriched our lives in so many ways. And now, thanks to an invention at Huggies baby's consented tweet when they have peed in their diapers. Yes. This is happening. Huggies TweetPee is a system with a sensor that attaches to the baby's diaper, and when it's time to change, the unit will alert mom and dad with a tweet. And you could re-tweet it to let all your followers know that your baby made a #tinkle. Right now, it's only being promoted in Brazil. But perhaps, someday, it will come to the US. So, we can bless all of our followers with pee-pee tweets. There's another great invention, this time, from South Africa. A company has invented a way to deliver a beer to you by a helicopter drone. During the South African OppiKoppi Music Festival this August, the OppiKoppi beer drone will be loaded with beer and flown over festival goers arriving at the GPS location of anyone who orders a cold one from the mobile app. The beer is dropped by parachute and reloaded at a nearby station. Because it's so new, it's just a promotion right now because it would be tragic to pay for a beer and have it accidentally delivered to the wrong person. In the battle of photo apps with trendy filters, Instagram won the popularity contest, leaving Hipstamatic in the dust. Even though Hipstamatic has more filters and camera effects, it's just that Instagram grew faster because it had a social component. But Hipstamatic is still hanging on. And now, it's trying a new social networking tactic. Hipstamatic is launching a spin-off app called Oggl for iOS. And it's trying to market itself as a network that's more than the bathroom selfie, but rather, for more serious photographers that are passion about photo art. And just like before, users can still share their photos with other networks like Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, Foursquare, and even Instagram. Photo nerds can request an invitation at Oggl.com, it's free. But to get all the lens and film options, it requires a subscription of $1 a month or $10 for a year. That's your Tech News Update. You could find more details at CNET.com/update. From our studios in New York, I'm Bridget Carey.

Last night as I looked at you
Sleeping with a smile on your face
Innocence seems to radiate from you
In my arms I want to hold you for eternity
I could not believe that you loved me
You are everything I ever dreamed of
My dreams are filled with your image
When you wake up I would be gone
But never forget that my love for you is eternal
I will come back later to celebrate our love
For now I want to tell you "I love you"
From your Valentine

Oh, I get it! I love the company and the way Paul does things usually, but to not offer something as simple as a different color tip switch just because HE doesn't like it...well, didn't WE pay a few thousand for a guitar and if we want a cream tip instead of black, shouldn't that be ok with him?!?
Actually I wish there was a market for aftermarket stuff like that, Mira pickguards, etc. - other than the wood tips at Crazy Parts, I don't know of any other way to get a different tip color. PRS would probably charge $20 for one - think he could make some $$ off of us that way! LOL. I wish there were more colors for the knobs too...best knobs available IMO.
(No offense meant to Paul or Shawn or anybody else at PRS)
Paul's Guitar - Charcoal || DGT Std. - Frost Blue Metallic ||DGT 10 Top - Yellow Tiger || DGT Artist - Faded Blue Jean Tobacco Burst || C.A.D. Custom 50 2-Channel - Slate || 2x12 Pine Cabinet - Charcoal
It's all good, I understand completely. With Paul it's not always about making money, he has a specific vision and he wants to keep it on track. I'm not saying selling creme plastic is right or wrong, but it isn't part of the vision he has for PRS guitars. If there is enough demand for aftermarket parts, someone will pick up the mantle and run with it.
PRS, the Henry Ford of guitars. "Any customer can have a switch tip any colour that he wants so long as it is black."
And if the guy who designed and built the guitars doesn't want to be the one to sell them in a world full of aftermarket suppliers that stock them, because he thinks they're ugly on his products, shouldn't that be OK with you? You don't have to agree with his taste. It's not like you can't find them elsewhere. He's not telling you what to do after you buy the guitar.
It bugs me that some folks think buying a product somehow entitles them to make demands, and tell other people how to run their businesses. Really? Where's personal responsibility in all this? You want something customized? How about going out and sourcing something yourself instead of putting it on the other guy?
You didn't buy shares in the company, you bought a guitar. Buying a guitar entitles you to exactly zero right to tell PRS what to do.
What's even sillier about making a fuss over this is that these are things you can buy elsewhere if it really, really bugs you to not have a white one.
Paul Smith isn't telling you that you can't put what you want on your guitar. He's just saying he's not interested in selling them. That's his right. So go put something on the guitar that the guy who designed it doesn't like. That's your right. They are freely available for negligible money.
Just get an aftermarket one. These aren't miracle devices, handmade only for PRSes. They are generally available. They are molded plastic blobs. You can get them elsewhere. What do they cost, a couple of bucks?
You really feel you need one from the PRS shop in order to make yourself feel good? That's silly.
Crazy parts offers not one, but two styles of cream colored plastic Ivoroid 5 way switch tips specifically for PRS in addition to the wooden ones. Allparts has white plastic ones and cream plastic ones that also look like they will fit perfectly. Other people have them, too.
This isn't brain surgery, it isn't unobtainium; if it's what you want, just go and friggin' buy some!
This whole business of "Well I paid X for this product, so they have to listen to me," is absurd. They've sold what, a couple of hundred thousand guitars? Do they have a couple of hundred thousand bosses now, all of whom have differing opinions on a variety of subjects, that they are obligated to listen to?

Jeez, settle down! I'm not demanding anything. Just said it'd be nice to have the choice. I actually don't necessarily want a different tip for any of the PRSi I currently have, but I might later down the road. I was just commenting on Shawn's reply to someone who asked about them earlier in the thread! Just thought it was funny the way Shawn commented "probably not because Paul doesn't like them".
I've never actually seen tips like the PRS ones other than the Crazy Parts one and I wouldn't really want to order from Germany. I don't really care, but maybe some people would prefer actual PRS parts instead of aftermarket.
Didnt mean to upset you, LSchefman!

Sorry, my rant wasn't personal. While the idea that a lot of folks have, that's expressed in your post kinda bugs me, I really was ranting about the idea, not you. I'm sure if we sat down for a beer, or had a jam, we'd have fun.
It's just about that one idea. Nothing more. And reasonable people are free to disagree in any case, and still remain on good terms.

LCSD to host blood drive | Events
In two weeks, the Lexington County Sheriff's Department will conduct a blood drive in cooperation with the South Carolina chapter of the American Red Cross.
The blood drive will be conducted between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Tuesday, January 15 in the Squad Room at the Lexington County James R. Metts Law Enforcement Complex, 521 Gibson Road, Lexington. Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts encourages citizens to participate in the blood drive.
Citizens who would like to schedule an appointment for the blood drive can contact Beth Harmon with the Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-2593.
"The American Red Cross is in need of your help. The Red Cross is experiencing a critical blood shortage across the country," Metts said. "Patients are depending on you to roll up your sleeves and make an appointment to give blood." The Sheriff's Department regularly conducts blood drives in cooperation with the American Red Cross, Metts said. Since 2006, blood drives that the Sheriff's Department conducted resulted in the donation of a total of 1,103 units of blood to the American Red Cross. Blood drives reflect the Sheriff's Department mission of providing professional law enforcement services that enhance the quality of life for all people in Lexington County, Metts said.

Duncan Macrae, Lord Ballister, the laird of a Scottish clan, is a Guardian. He is a weather mage, that is, he can shape and even control the weather. On a trip to England he attends a gathering at Lady Bethany's and is immediately smitten by Gwynne. She also feels a strong attraction between them and has the sense that he is her destiny.
Duncan sets out on a campaign to win Gynne and seems to be well on the way to accomplishing his goal. Gwynne, however, rejects him after they kiss. His kiss brought her immediate, horrible images of battle and death.
The Guardian council asks that she reconsider her decision and marry Duncan. There are fears that the charismatic Charles Stuart will start raising the Scottish clans against the Hanoverian English king and civil war will ensue. If Gwynne is Duncan's wife, she may be able to influence events.
It is on their wedding trip to Scotland that Gwynne is first confronted with the powerful forces within her and without that will cause tension between her and Duncan. She cannot dispel the strong feeling that she will betray him.
This is the first in the author's Guardian series. The supernatural elements increase in importance as the novel progresses. It simplifies things to be able to use a spell to deal with the small inconveniences of life. Want to hide something? Just cast a do-not-see spell. Sometimes it seems to come too easily, that the hero and heroine should be relying on their own abilities not magic.
The strongest aspect of A Kiss of Fate is the romance between Gwynne and Duncan. Their instant attraction is very believable, and their courtship is sweet. The conflict that creates tension between them is caused by outside political forces not by stupid misunderstandings. These two love each other and act like it.
A Kiss of Fate is a romance that's easy to recommend. The narrative flows smoothly. This is one of those books that picks you up and carries you along effortlessly until the final page. For those who are not familiar with mid-eighteenth century English and Scottish history, sufficient necessary background is provided, but the history lesson doesn't overwhelm the romance and the relationship between Gwynne and Duncan.
Fans of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books may wish to check out A Kiss of Fate which is set in the same time period. This book will also appeal to those who enjoy fantasy romance. Those who like their fiction a little more grounded in reality are likely to enjoy this book just because it features a good story and appealing characters. Whatever the reason, A Kiss of Fate is likely to appeal to a wide variety of romance readers.

Sorry, Mr. President, We Really Don't Need 8 Million More College Graduates
Over the summer, Barack Obama promised a college education program that would produce 8 million more college graduates by 2020. Recently uncovered data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that this is a terrible idea.
America is already producing too many college graduates.
Over 317,000 waiters and waitresses have college degrees (over 8,000 of them have doctoral or professional degrees), along with over 80,000 bartenders, and over 18,000 parking lot attendants. All told, some 17,000,000 Americans with college degrees are doing jobs that the BLS says require less than the skill levels associated with a bachelor's degree.
He then produces this table showing the percentages of college grads in low-skilled jobs.
Underemployment Chart
Customer service representatives | 21.62 | 482,784 |
Waiters and waitresses | 13.40 | 317,759 |
Secretaries, except legal, medical, and executive | 16.64 | 311,440 |
Executive secretaries and administrative assistants | 16.64 | 248,131 |
Receptionists and information clerks | 12.89 | 141,476 |
Laborers and freight, stock, and material movers, hand | 5.07 | 118,441 |
Janitors and cleaners, except maids and housekeeping cleaners | 5.01 | 107,457 |
Truck drivers, heavy and tractor-trailer | 5.09 | 85,205 |
Bartenders | 16.00 | 80,542 |
Carpenters | 7.27 | 65,412 |
Food preparation workers | 7.24 | 63,737 |
Amusement and recreation attendants | 24.61 | 63,704 |
Landscaping and groundskeeping workers | 6.77 | 62,414 |
Construction laborers | 5.82 | 59,409 |
Telemarketers | 15.85 | 54,713 |
Postal service mail carriers | 13.95 | 49,452 |
Electrician | 7.76 | 49,109 |
Hotel, motel, and resort desk clerks | 16.14 | 37,156 |
Flight attendants | 29.80 | 29,645 |
Parking lot attendants | 13.74 | 18,749 |
It's from this table very clear that the demand for college graduates is not keeping with the supply. Increasing the number of college graduates will only exacerbate the problem.
It's easy to see why Obama could make the foolish assumption that increasing the number of college graduates would be economically beneficial. After all, going to college helped him tremendously. And college graduates earn more money, on average, than lesser-educated peers. So if more people went to college, more of them would earn more money, right?
This reminds me of a certain kind of thinking that you heard a lot about during the housing bubble. Back when George Bush was campaigning to increase home-ownership, he often argued for the social benefits of home-ownership. Home owners were less likely to rely on government, they stabilized neighborhoods, produced positive externalities for everyone.
Of course, the marginal returns from increasing the number of homeowners were minimal and the costs—well, we're still living with the costs.
Vedder points to a working paper that examines the marginal returns to education.
This week an extraordinarily interesting new study was posted on the Web site of America's most prestigious economic-research organization, the National Bureau of Economic Research. Three highly regarded economists (one of whom has won the Nobel Prize in Economic Science) have produced "Estimating Marginal Returns to Education," Working Paper 16474 of the NBER. After very sophisticated and elaborate analysis, the authors conclude "In general, marginal and average returns to college are not the same." (p. 28)
In other words, even if on average, an investment in higher education yields a good, say 10 percent, rate of return, it does not follow that adding to existing investments will yield that return, partly for reasons outlined above. The authors (Pedro Carneiro, James Heckman, and Edward Vytlacil) make that point explicitly, stating "Some marginal expansions of schooling produce gains that are well below average returns, in general agreement with the analysis of Charles Murray."
College education may very well be to Obama what the home ownership was to Bush: a government induced bubble that leaves Americans buried under a mountain of debt used to buy an asset whose value just keeps dropping.

I cannot believe that Rossi barely even noted the Juggernaut change, this lowers the skillcap drastically, and makes it impossible to close gaps when being kited by Mages, Boomkings, and decent Hunters.
Sure we have heroic leap, but it doesn't work half the time (even less in arenas) and it's on a minute's cooldown, the 3 second stun from Charge isn't even close to compensating for this change.
Not to mention the 4set PvP bonus is useless now, reducing the cooldown of a spell that we don't need, we'll only ever need to go berserker for a Recklessness.
