No consistent decrease in child maltreatment despite years of policy initiatives designed to achieve it
9 December 2011
There has been no consistent decrease in child maltreatment over the last two decades, research published today in The Lancet has found.
Led by Professor Ruth Gilbert, University College London Institute of Child Health (ICH), the study concludes that despite numerous government policy initiatives designed to achieve a reduction in child maltreatment, none has proved successful.
The study used three types of child maltreatment indicators; violent deaths in children, injuries related to maltreatment, and involvement with child protection agencies.
The indicators were gathered from health and child protection agencies, and compared trends in children under 11 across six states and countries, England, Sweden, New Zealand, Western Australia, Manitoba (Canada) and the USA.
The study found large variations between the countries and states in the frequency of involvement with child protection agencies, but little difference between the rates of maltreatment-related injury or violent death.
Trends reflecting low levels of maltreatment in Sweden and high levels in the USA are consistent with lower rates of risk factors, such as child poverty, in Sweden compared with the USA. There is also better provision for parenting support in Sweden, compared with the States.
Professor Ruth Gilbert, professor of clinical epidemiology, ICH said: "Our results suggest the need to focus on preventing factors that contribute to child maltreatment, in order to substantially reduce rates of child maltreatment in the future.
"For too long, policy has been driven by high profile deaths of individual children. We need to invest in population-based data to inform policy and to monitor trends. We also need to be able to link health and social care data to understand which professionals are seeing these children. Such linkage is done in Western Australia and Manitoba, where it is proving to be an important tool in the formulation of child health policy.
"We would urge caution in the interpretation of these results. Small changes may not have been detected by the study."
The funding for the study was provided by organisations including the Department of Health for England and the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy.

Olympus VG-170 review
A 14-megapixel camera for just £80? Despite a few neat features, the Olympus VG-170 has made too many compromises to hit that price. Read more

Olympus X-880 review
For a sub-£100 camera, the metal-bodied, 8-megapixel X-880 feels sturdy, looks smart, and takes clear, crisp pictures. Although the menu system is quirk-ridden, the snappy autofocus and 5x optical zoom make this a speedy point-and-shoot compact camera for undemanding users Read more

kenmore washer and electric dryer
white kenmore washer and electric dryer. both of unknown vintage. I will attempt to look for a manufacturing date/plate on them sometime in the next couple of days.
both working fine. Washer has a small chip in the enamel somewhere that has allowed periodic rust stains to show up some of the time on clothes. $150 worth of repairs went into the drum motor/pump or some such thing in the past year or so. Dryer has never been a problem, and has run like a champ for the past 5 years that we have owned both appliances. they came with our house when we bought it in august 2000. We bought a brand new kenmore elite series front loaders, that are already here, and set up. $50 or best offer. Located in Fenton Michigan. You pick up, I'll help load depending on when you want it... (and how much lift your truck has :p ) for those that don't feel like replying in the thread, or pm-ing me. email@example.com Y! messenger is the same AIM is sgtsour.

What Causes Allergies?
Allergies tend to run in families. If you have allergies, it's very likely that at least one of your parents does too.
Exposure to allergens at times when the body's defenses are weak, such as after an illness or during pregnancy, also may play a role in developing allergies. Although allergies are most common in children, they can occur at any time and any age. Sometimes allergies go away, but they also can come back years later.
If you or your child has allergies, use the Allergy Relief Self-Test to review your symptoms and see if you need to find relief.
An allergist is a doctor who has the specialized training and experience to find out what causes your allergies, prevent and treat symptoms, and help keep them under control. Find an allergist in your zip code and find relief.

Leadership for a Bold Church
We've asked Bill McKinney, PSR's President Emeritus, to write a regular blog for this website, and we're delighted that he's agreed. Bill's academic training in Sociology of Religion, his long tenure as an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, and his many years in theological education make him one of the keenest observers we know of American churches and the public voice of American religion. In his new position as Senior Consultant for the Center for Progressive Renewal, Bill continues his work toward greater vitality for both "historic and emerging faith communities".
Bill will post regularly in this space. He speaks for himself, of course—not on behalf of PSR or the PSR faculty—but we think you'll find his words insightful and provocative as always. You're welcome to post comments, but Bill also welcomes your e-mail to him directly, at wmckinney[at]psr[dot]edu.

2010 Jeep Liberty Sport - a reasonble priced tough little guy :)
by Ponch on 01/13/2012.
Trim: 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X4, Owned 2 years.
Appearance: Great body lines & paint choices, well placed windows.
Structure: Reinforced uniframe strong durable body panels, doors, hood and hatch
Suspension: Resilent - carried about 3/4 max capacity very little sagging or sloppy handling
Engine: 20K on the clock, reliable, runs smooth and quiet, inexpensive sparkplugs runs on reg gas.Sufficent power
Transmission: Shifts smoothly and nice overdrive gear for quiet long hwy cruising - cruse control works awesome.
Ride: Offroad capable, runs very smooth on the road, turn on/off tract cntrl, h.d.c and anti Lck brakes, tow rating :)
Cost: Reasonible - rebates available
Aftermarket: good aftermarket following plenty of options, clubs etc.
Engine: More options i.e.(4.7L v-8, 3.0 Diesel) current 6 would better if it was dohc and vvt with cylinder Deactvatio. 17 mpg average.
Trans: More gears 5-6 instead of 4 fwd gears with a lower 1st gear ratio.
Axles: Lower 4.10 instead of 3.73 converting them to limited slip instead of a standard differential.
Suspension: 3-5 more inches of ground clearance longer shocks and stiffer springs
Tires - They are ok in sand and snow and still have 3/4 life on them, but in the rain the slip and hydroplane.
Needs 400 Watt DC converter since Jeep customers like to go out of bounds a little more than the average consumer.
Overall review:
Everyday I drive it I enjoy it much more. I receive a lot of positive comments on it because of the paint and body lines. The headlights by themselves give out plenty of light and when turning on the fog lights there is very little you don't see. When loaded it up and driving off-road there are no issues on the beach, flooded roads, snow etc. You feel very safe on it because of the amount metal protecting you. The mpg is about the same as other suvs sharing it weight and tow ability excluding diesels. The aftermarket possibilites are pretty good if you wish to make any enhancements or customizations. I hope Jeep maintains makingthe Lib a very solid off-road worthy and good looking vehicle with some extra available options as stated above in the future.

A true American made compact solid SUV.
by An MSN Autos Consumer on 10/14/2012.
Trim: 2010 Jeep Liberty Limited 4X4, Owned less than 1 year.
Front seat very comfortable, like sitting in a leather upright reclining chair. Excellant head room for a 6 footer. Excellant visability all around. Red exterior color and black leather interior with pewter trim rich looking. Practical size for a SUV used in city rural driving.
Radio speakers are awesome. Easy controls. A true rugged SUV not a converted car with AWD. Made in USA.
Wish transmission had additional gear (sixth) for smoother operation and possibly better mileage.
Overall review:
A comfortable strong truck like practical SUV

I like my Jeep
by Old guy in Wisconsin on 10/12/2012.
Trim: 2010 Jeep Liberty Sport 4X4, Owned 2 years.
5000 lbs tow rating, 4x4, tinted glass, it's been very reliable, handles well(don't know why some "expert" reviewers think the handling is sluggish)
gas mileage is low 18 city, 21 highway, I wish the spare was inside the vehicle like my 2000 Grand Cherokee.
Overall review:
I'd buy this car again. I've had it for 2 years, put 44k miles on it commuting every day 45 miles round trip. While I wish it got better mileage, it's done everything I have expected it to do, including towing up to 4000 lbs. There have been two recalls which cost me $0, beyond that it has been without problem.

Chemical Regulation:
Observations on Improving the Toxic Substances Control Act
GAO-10-292T: Published: Dec 2, 2009. Publicly Released: Dec 2, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:

Office of Public Affairs

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is authorized under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to obtain information on the risks of chemicals and to control those that it determines to pose an unreasonable risk. EPA also conducts assessments of chemicals under its Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) program. Nonetheless, EPA does not have sufficient information to determine whether it should establish controls to limit public exposure to many chemicals that may pose substantial health risks. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has recommended statutory changes to TSCA to, among other things, provide EPA with additional authorities to obtain health and safety information from the chemical industry and to shift more of the burden to chemical companies for demonstrating the safety of their chemicals. GAO has also recommended that EPA adopt a streamlined, more transparent IRIS assessment process to address significant productivity and credibility issues. Problems with TSCA and IRIS led GAO to add transforming EPA's processes for assessing and controlling toxic chemicals to its list of high-risk areas warranting attention by Congress and the executive branch This testimony, based on prior GAO work, addresses EPA's implementation of TSCA and IRIS and options for (1) obtaining more information on chemical risks, (2) controlling these risks, and (3) sharing more of the information collected under TSCA.
EPA lacks adequate scientific information on the toxicity of many chemicals. One major reason is that TSCA generally places the burden of obtaining data about existing chemicals on EPA rather than on chemical companies. For example, the act requires EPA to demonstrate certain health or environmental risks before it can require companies to further test their chemicals. As a result, EPA does not routinely assess the risks of the over 83,000 chemicals already in use. Moreover, TSCA does not require chemical companies to test the approximately 700 new chemicals introduced into commerce each year for toxicity, and companies generally do not voluntarily perform such testing. Furthermore, the procedures EPA must follow to obtain test data from companies can take years. Regarding IRIS, in 2008, GAO reported that this significant chemical assessment program--which provides EPA's scientific position on the potential human health effects of exposure to more than 540 chemicals--is at serious risk of becoming obsolete because the agency has not been able to complete timely, credible assessments. In May 2009, EPA announced reforms to its IRIS assessment process, citing GAO's conclusions and its high-risk designation. Overall, GAO believes that, if the reforms are effectively implemented, they will address GAO's recommendations and provide a sound framework for conducting IRIS assessments. However, given the number of obstacles that can impede the progress of IRIS assessments, the viability of this program will depend on effective and sustained management. While TSCA authorizes EPA to ban, limit, or otherwise regulate existing toxic chemicals, EPA must meet a high legal threshold, which has proven difficult. For example, EPA must demonstrate "unreasonable risk" to ban or limit chemical production, which EPA believes requires it to conduct extensive cost-benefit analyses that can take many years to complete. Since 1976, EPA has issued regulations to control only five existing chemicals. Furthermore, its 1989 regulation phasing out most uses of asbestos was largely vacated by a federal appeals court in 1991 because it was not based on "substantial evidence." In contrast, the European Union and a number of other countries have largely banned asbestos, a known human carcinogen that can cause lung cancer and other diseases. GAO previously suggested that Congress amend TSCA to reduce the evidentiary burden EPA must meet to control toxic substances and continues to believe such change warrants consideration. Because of TSCA's prohibitions on the disclosure of confidential business information, EPA has limited ability to share information on chemical production and risk. According to EPA officials, about 95 percent of the notices companies have provided to EPA on new chemicals contain some information claimed as confidential. Evaluating the appropriateness of confidentiality claims is time- and resource-intensive, and EPA does not challenge most claims. GAO previously suggested that Congress, among other things, consider amending TSCA to authorize EPA to share the confidential business information that chemical companies provide to EPA with states.

Amazon has also remained a pioneer in the industry and today you can buy nearly anything you could possibly want from their site, either direct or from smaller retailers using Amazon's impeccable logistics.
As the holiday shopping season gets rolling, our question for you is: How much do you rely on online retailers and where do you prefer to buy stuff? Not only tech, but things in general like clothes, gifts for family and friends, food, flowers, anything you are used to buy online these days. Even if it's a local store, we want to hear about it. Discuss.

Ebay, Abebooks, U-mart, Steam, Impulse, itunes, EB Games, Pop-Cap, JB HiFi, Miele, and an endlessly growing number of smaller online household goods and software retailers (curse all those different passwords!). I didn't even realize they still had real stores out there.
I do as much shopping online as I can, because it's where I find the best deals usually.
The online stores I go to with relative frequency are...
Banana Republic/Gap
New Egg
Tiger Direct
Same as treeski. I think with the exception of food, pretty much everything that I need to function as a human being is purchased online. To be honest, I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than go to a mall.
Steam, Scorptec (online Aussie PC retailer), iTunes and Ebay for selling usually.
Steam, Souq.com (our local version of eBay) and Fry's.com occasionally.
Newegg if I want something new and don't want to mess around. electronics
Ebay used and new
Amazon if i cant get something cheaper on ebay
For games the above 2 or I will follow whatever link the games main site takes me too.
For PC parts Ebay and Newegg.And for whatever things I go to Ebay.
Ncix, Amazon.ca, Steam, Ebay.ca and sometimes Chapters.ca
I usually shop many places, I mainly like and trust Amazon and Play.com for most stuff but I shop at places like Ebuyer and Overclockers aswell for PC hardware if there's deals.
newegg, steam, ebay, amazon, vat19 and sometimes D&H.(although 99.9% of people cant shop there they usually beat newegg in prices.)
Steam, Amazon, Newegg, Ebay if I cant find it there then it isnt something I want or it doesnt exist.
Amazon, Ebay, Newegg, Steam, and just like "Korn007", if I dont get it there, just stop serching...
I buy at Amazon, Newegg, NFL.com, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Electronic Arts, 1-800 Flowers, Home Depot, Lowes, Staples, Wal Mart, and Best Buy. I did buy from Circuit City before they got bought by Tiger Direct.
Ebay only since they ship worldwide
Newegg, TigerDirect, Ebay, Amazon
Newegg, FrozenCPU, and Bed bath & Beyond....oh dear...I've said to much.
Same as treeski.
Newegg, FrozenCPU, and Bed bath & Beyond....oh dear...I've said to much.No red, you've said, "too" much!
Mercadolibre Argentina!
Newegg, Directron.com, Amazon, Thetoolwarehouse.net, Snapon.com, Matcotools.com, Mactools.com, Toolsource.com, Helminc.com (for factory manuals), mscdirect.com and a bunch of others sporadically.
I order everything online, with the exception of fresh meat, which I like to view and choose myself. All my other food shopping is done online, and I regularly use amazon, ebay, etc.
About the only thing I tend to go to a shop for is milk and bread.
Mercadolibre Argentina!?Hay un lugar como esto? Se suene mas como una eslogn de una revolucion.... "Compraremos en libertad, para siempre...!
thanks for all the great sites everybody.
I never used sites such as Woot, Vat19..
good posts.
Let me see... My favorite online shops are Newegg and Thinkgeek for techie stuff, but I would say most of my money is spent on my Mustang at rpmoutlet.com, classicdesignconcepts.com, and americanmuscle.com. This year alone I have probably spent close to $6k on parts for the stang. At the egg, and thinkgeek, I've barely scratched $1200.
For food, clothing, and furniture I shop the old fashioned way, though occasionally I peruse Ikea's website.
I only shop online for electronics stuff, so for that I browse between newegg, tigerdirect, and amazon. One of the three is always guaranteed to have what I'm looking for. As for all the other stuff, I work at walmart so I just buy what I need with my discount card before leaving work.
For food, clothing, and furniture I shop the old fashioned way, though occasionally I peruse Ikea's website.
I know, nothing can be more frustrating than ordering a couple dozen eggs online, only to have them arrive two days after Halloween...!
Since Ikea has stores in most major markets, that's not cheating, that's what I like to call, "dry shopping".
No red, you've said, "too" much!
..oH for god sake! rofl :p
..oH for god sake! rofl :pYou're just hell bent on making me correct this too aren't you...?
You're just hell bent on making me correct this too aren't you...?
Yes Sir!, have at it
....and that.
captaincranky said:Mercadolibre Argentina!?Hay un lugar como esto? Se suene mas como una eslogn de una revolucion.... "Compraremos en libertad, para siempre...!
Look at you! You are an all spanish Sir. I think Mercadolibre is powered by e-bay, the same owners, probably... they even look alike! And yes, the name of the web it's kinda a capitalist "eslogan".... "buy/sell here and gain your freedom!"...
Newegg, FrozenCPU, and Bed bath & Beyond....oh dear...I've said to much.
LOL red! You realize don't you this is breaking Man Law?
Amazon, NewEgg, eBay, and G.O.G.
Newegg, Amazon, and Steam are all I need
Amazon, eBay, and NewEgg.
Dudeism - being an odained minister and all....
Ebuyer, Argos (online) Tesco Direct, Amazon, Game, Play.com, zavvi.co.uk, shop2.net, Ebay, Steam.
I live with a senior citizen and am actually old enough to join aarp myself. We get the Chicago Tribune and shop those retail ads for Fry's, Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, and Comp USA. I also get Micro Center mailings and shop mostly retail. The stack of black friday and related newspaper ads was so big it almost hit the ceiling this weekend. In one ad you could get a 42" lcd hdtv from Wal-mart for $398 on black friday. We bought ours two years ago this way. When I returned my defective macbook pro to Fry's purchased retail, I got a FULL refund with no shipping or restocking fees. I just hope newspapers don't fall by the wayside too quickly.
Hmmmm lets see...
Ebay Australia
StudentBargains.com.au (I think that was the site) xD
Dominos Pizza
Mostly tech stuff, and pizza on the days i'm feeling lazy lol
Just buying from regular places,but always checking with who may have it listed at Google Product Search so I can use Google checkout and get free shipping too.
I usually shop at my favorite computer store which is PC Express. I'm looking forward to getting my GTX 580 this Christmas.
and recently Firebox.com! It's Christmas!

The Golden Apple Dinner Theatre has opened its new cabaret show, "The Musical Magic of Hayes and Hyman," and if you like nostalgia, schtick, great songs that bring back memories and some of the best pianism around, you've got to go!
Dick Hyman, at age 82, is one of the greatest pianists anywhere. He has technique to burn and a way of tearing up the keyboard that brings back memories of Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, Teddy Wilson and Erroll Garner, except he'd make them jealous.
Bill Hayes, at age 84, is suave, commanding and vocally fit. In fact, he sounds pretty much the same as he sounded when he sang on Sid Caesar's "Show of Shows" and made a world-wide hit of "No Other Love" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Me and Juliet," in which he also starred.
In fact, from his hit with "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," to his long-running part in the TV soap, "Days of Our Lives," Hayes' career has scored one hit after another.
The Hayes and Hyman show, however, is going to be much more of a hit with the World War II-through-baby-boomer set than their children or grandchildren. From start to finish, it's an evening of nostalgia and memories. Maybe that's why the second part of the show was so much more endearing than the first, which was snippets of songs and medleys from the '40s and '50s. From Arthur Godfrey — "Strip Polka" and "She's Too Fat for Me" — to the Everly Brothers and early Elvis, Part I was a trip down the pop-memory lane of the 60-plus set.
But Part II brought on the real recollections with a 21st-century, multi-media presentation of their baby pictures; high-school- and college-yearbook photos; war-time slides; and some terrific kinescopes of early, historic television shows featuring Hyman and Hayes with the likes of Olson and Johnson, and Dizzy Gillespie. If you lived through those years, you'll go nuts in this part.
Hyman's droll humor offsets Hayes' schtick. And, together, they have more bad "uncle" jokes than the Internet. The script, which was a bit stilted and self-conscious opening night, is bound to loosen up as the pair starts playing together. But, for sheer spectacular music-making and memories, this is the show to catch. From Hyman's settings of Shakespearian songs sung by Hayes and Woody Allen soundtracks on the screen, to his incredible accompanying of Hayes' tour-de-force presentation of the extremely difficult "Soliloquy" from "Carousel," the Hayes and Hyman show is the perfect way to look back on a golden era.

Auto suppliers say they're eager to add capacityTrade group survey finds sharp rise in confidence and planned spendingBy David Sedgwick
Automotive News Automotive suppliers have been content to let their plants run around the clock rather than build new factories or assembly lines to meet high demand. Until now. According to a September survey by the Original Equipment Suppliers Association, 84 percent of suppliers doing business in North America said they are "somewhat" or "very confident" that their companies will make capital investments in 2014 and 2015. An additional 11 percent said they were "slightly confident" they would add capacity, and only 5 percent said they did not plan any capital expenditures. Survey respondents were more willing to invest than they were in July, when 66 percent were planning for "significant" or "somewhat increased" capital investments. The upbeat survey comes at a time when North American light-vehicle production is on course to hit about 16.1 million units this year, up from 15.5 million units in 2012, according to LMC Automotive, a consulting firm based in suburban Detroit. In 2014, North American vehicle production is expected to rise 3 percent to 16.6 million units, says LMC. As demand rises, automakers are planning to expand capacity in years to come. According to a Morgan Stanley study, carmakers in North America will add 864,000 units of capacity in 2014, plus 400,000 units in 2015. So it comes as no surprise that the OESA survey, which drew 85 responses from OESA's 450 members, showed suppliers at their most optimistic since January 2012. Sixty-four percent said they had grown either "somewhat" or "significantly more optimistic" about their prospects for the next 12 months. In July, only 44 percent of respondents were more optimistic. The survey also suggests that suppliers are struggling to keep up with demand. One respondent said his company was "busting at the seams," while another said "our growth plans continue to be aggressive." Asked to identify their most pressing needs, 29 respondents said they were focusing on personnel issues, such as hiring more engineers, retaining employees and attracting skilled trades. Fourteen suppliers said capacity constraints were their most serious challenge, and 11 identified product launches as their top concern. Neil De Koker, CEO emeritus of OESA, said in September that North American automakers couldn't add any more workers to existing assembly plants and now must build new ones. "Now it's bricks and mortar," De Koker said. At the time he was referring to North American automakers. Now it's true for suppliers, too. Topics in this article: Automotive

The Right, Just, and Moral approach to this problem:
1. Secure the border. Finish the fence and track down the visa over-stayers.
2. Make it impossible for illegals to work. Mandatory E-Verify coupled with strict penalties for hiring illegals. Companies that discover that illegals have duped them (as happened at the factory I worked for when, in preparing the W-2s last year, the HR person found about a dozen people sharing the same SS#), should have to turn over all the contact information they have for those people to Immigration.

When you leave for a trip, your friends or family might need to locate you quickly if an emergency arises. You might need to determine where you are when wandering an unfamiliar city or trying to navigate a subway system or winding streets. Here are some tips that can help you avoid that sinking "Uh-oh, where am I?" feeling. It's actually harder to get lost than you think.
Make Sure Friends or Family Can Find You
An emergency can come up at any time. Here's how to make sure your friends or family can find you while you're traveling.
- Leave an itinerary at home: Not matter how vague your itinerary is, leave at least an outline of your schedule with someone at home. Include flight information and hotels if you know those details. If you're a free-wheeling traveler, at least leave a list of countries you plan on visiting and the approximate dates of your travels.
- Send updates: Once a week or twice a month, send a postcard or e-mail home to update the person who is monitoring your itinerary. Include your location and anticipated destinations for the weeks ahead. It can be difficult to make phone calls home due to time differences and cost.
- In an emergency: If someone from home needs to track you down in an extreme emergency, they should contact the embassy and ask for assistance from local police.
Making Sure You Don't Get Lost
Even if you don't think you have any sense of direction, don't despair! These few tricks can help prevent you from getting lost when traveling.
Transportation Tips
- Ask the ticket agent: Not sure about train schedules or subway maps? Ask someone at the ticket booth. If they don't write down instructions for you, write them down yourself and confirm that what you've written is correct.
- Talk to passengers: If you're not sure about your departure point on a train or subway, ask other passengers.
- Talk to bus drivers: On buses, tell the driver your destination. Most are very friendly and will make sure you get off at the right stop.
General Tips
- Pack a compass: You probably will never need it, but if you ever arrive in town after dark and discover your guidebook says to walk west from the station to the nearest hostel, you'll be thankful you have a compass.
- Look behind you: This is a good habit to develop. Look behind you before leaving a hotel, bus or train to make sure you've got all your stuff. When you're on foot, look behind you and note landmarks so you can find your way back.
- Always bring a map: Even if you're just headed out for a quick morning jog, tuck a small map in your pocket. You can often get small, basic maps for free at many hotels, hostels or tourist offices. To help you navigate, mark your hotel on the map, as well as all the sites you're planning to visit.
- Take the hotel's business card: You could forget the name of your hotel or hostel. Or you could forget how to get back, and mispronounce the hotel's name so badly no one understands where you're trying to go. Either way, that business card will save you. With the address you can find your way back with a map. Or, with the name written down, others can understand where you want to go and give you directions.
- Ask for help: If you're unsure that you're traveling in the right direction, ask for help. Having a map and place names written down can make things a lot easier. Avoid asking yes or no questions such as, "Am I going the right way to the museum?" Someone who doesn't understand English well might reply yes or no without knowing what you asked. Instead, ask open-ended questions such as, "Which way is the museum?"

I must tell you that your last three Wraps were very comforting to hear - your brutal candor inspires great trust. You missed a good trade - you say it like it is. You got stopped out after your "proximity rule" triggered tightening your stop - brutally honest - and refreshing! Thank you for your service and your straight talk.
Scott, I haven't sent you my 2012 numbers yet but ...if it wasn't for you and your data, there is no way I could do that on my own. Thanks!
Hello guys I love service and wanted to thank you! I believe it truly gives a fantastic edge on the markets and is quite easy to manage.
Scott, Haven't communicated in a while. The data is really working for me. Thanks for all of your webinars and hard work. I could not be more pleased with the outcome.
I have a friend who I've been collaborating with a bit regarding gap trades and he has confirmed that your system is VERY profitable. Slowly but surely my confidence is growing, thanks to your great teaching, mentoring and time you take to help teach so many people like me. Once again, thank you for all you do.
This has been a wonderful trading year for me. Your knowledge and site have helped me become more focused, more disciplined and more accountable for my actions... I primarily trade SPY options and use chart patterns in conjunction with your site and my return this year is... This would not have been possible without you. Thank you very much.

Anyone know about the quality of their frames?
Their frames look a little lightweight... good to reduce weight, though not as sturdy as some.
Note they state "All of our $39.00 complete pair packages are made using polycarbonate lenses". If you're ok with that, you're good to go but you can get higher index of refraction with other lenses... at higher cost of course.
Overall, you can't really go wrong with a pair for $25 delivered except sometimes these discount places have funny customer service policies, for example once I ordered a pair from another place and they sent different frames than I ordered and refused to give a refund, instead offering half off my next order. It rubbed me the wrong way but on the other hand I ended up with a couple more pair at an incredibly low price, and it's nice to have spare sunglasses in your car glovebox or a sports impact resistant frame, etc.
However, my experience mentioned above was dealing with a company not located in the US, so they weren't bound by US consumer protection laws... something to keep in mind, next time I'll order from a place that at least has a US address even if they do the same drop shipping from Hong Kong as most of the lower cost ones do.
Tried to check out - $10 off only. Their main page advertises 10% (percent) off - tried that (on an order of $150) - still only $10 off. Call it #failure on Twitter.

Students returned to city schools Wednesday morning without any problems from a threatened strike from bus drivers.
The Department of Education has been seeking bids on new contracts for about one-sixth of its bus routes in an effort to cut spending, a move that could cost some drivers their jobs.
Local 1181, a union representing bus drivers, responded by threatening to strike.
But as classes resumed, no strike materialized.
