Ministry of Faith and Sharing
Centering Prayer
Centering Prayer is a form of silent prayer rooted in the contemplative tradition of the early Christian church. Its purpose is to help us achieve a state of interior silence—what St. Gregory described as "resting in God"—in which we open ourselves to the action of the Holy Spirit within us. Weekly meetings of SLM's Centering Prayer Group are intended to supplement and reinforce the daily practice of the prayer.
CSJ Associates
The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet invite women and men to join as companions on a faith journey expressed in service to God's people, a deepening of prayer life and mutual support. Such companions, known as CSJ Associates, are friends, co-ministers, and cherished members of our faith community wherever the Sisters live and work. Associates extend the mission of the CSJs into their workplaces, families and friendships.
Christian Family Movement
Making a Difference… One Family at a Time!
The Christian Family Movement (CFM) at St. Lawrence Martyr Parish is an organization of families growing together and helping each other recharge Christian family values. CFM has touched the lives of a great many of our parishioners over the years, fostered lifelong friendships and a mutual support system for the families here, and it's fun! CFM activities consist of monthly small group adult meetings, large group family events and many opportunities for social outreach.
The Christian Family Movement is a national network of parish/neighborhood small groups of families which has been going strong for over 50 years. The SLM chapter is one of the largest in the U.S.
Each year we divide our membership into smaller groups of 10-15 families. Separate groups exist for first time members. Each group has a leader who facilitates meetings and activities. Groups are formed in September and meet through June.
More information on CFM can be found on the national website at www.cfm.org
Moms in Touch
Moms in Touch is an international prayer ministry that began in 1984 by one mom who felt called to pray with other moms for their children and schools. She created a format using scripture that was very simple for busy mothers. Moms in Touch is two or more mothers who meet for one hour a week to release God's power on their children and schools through prayer. We invite mothers, grandmothers, or any woman who is willing to pray for one hour a week to join and see how prayer can make a difference in the lives of our children.
Perpetual Adoration
The Adoration Chapel is available at all times, day and night, for those wishing to spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. In order to provide this opportunity , we need scheduled adorers on whom we can count to be there, particularly through the night. Are you willing to commit yourself to one hour of adoration, or as a substitute adorer? Please contact Karen Kallay at (310) 540-8844 to sign-up.
Small Communities of Faith
Small Communities of Faith or SCF are small communities typically of 8-12 members who meet on a regular schedule, determined by the needs of the group. Some meet weekly, others biweekly, and still others monthly. Some groups may meet year-round, others during the school year while others may choose to come together for four to six-week sessions in the Advent/Christmas season and during the Lenten/Easter season.
Each SCF forms based on schedule and interests. Some may consist of a mixed group of members, others may be moms of young children, others empty nesters, others married couples, and others may consist of 6 or so families who come together to form a small community.
In Summary, Small Communities of Faith are:
§ Intentional. The members of each SCF gather for a defined purpose and mission. Not just a social group.
§ Invitational. Within the network, there is a place for all who come and members are respected.
§ Inclusive. Recognizing the diverse charisms within the Catholic community, the network embraces all who gather to bear authentic witness to Christ and His Church.
§ Inspirational. Each SCF is not an end unto itself but inspires each member to live out the mission of Christ in the world. This missionary spirit manifests itself in both the individual and collective actions of the Small Community of Faith.

Trey DePriest won't play in opener
Alabama will begin the season against West Virginia on Saturday without starting inside linebacker Trey DePriest due to an undisclosed NCAA infraction, coach Nick Saban announced.
DePriest, a senior who has started 26 games the past two seasons, is expected to return Week 2 against Florida Atlantic, Saban told reporters in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on Wednesday.
Saban pointed out that since DePriest, a preseason All-SEC selection by both the media and coaches, was limited for much of fall camp with an injury, his backups were able to get plenty of reps.
"Even though this wasn't something we anticipated, it was something we were able to prepare for," he said.
Reuben Foster and Reggie Ragland will fill in for DePriest against West Virginia, Saban said. Dillon Lee and Shaun Dion Hamilton will be next in line.
Saban doesn't expect DePriest's absence to have a noticeable impact on the game plan because West Virginia likes to go with multiple-receiver sets on offense that require fewer linebackers on the field.
"We'll probably be in nickel or dime in this game 70 percent or more," Saban said, "so there won't be a lot of regular [base defenses]."
Alabama and West Virginia are set to kick off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET in Atlanta.
Alabama Bolsters No. 1 Class With ILB
QB: Saban's daughter was 1st kiss
West Virginia starting quarterback Clint Trickett has known Alabama head coach Nick Saban for a long time.
But Trickett apparently had a relationship with another Saban, as well.
"His daughter (Kristen) was my first kiss back in the day," Trickett said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
That revelation could turn into a bit of bulletin-board fodder as Trickett's Mountaineers open against Saban's Crimson Tide in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta on Saturday.
"So yeah ... I don't know if I should have said that," Trickett said. "She's actually engaged now."
Trickett quickly added: "For clarification, we were like 6 years old! Just so everyone knows that."
Trickett has a long history with the Sabans. His father, Rick, who is currently the offensive line coach at Florida State, coached under Saban at LSU in 2000.
Trickett's brother, Travis, who is now at Samford, was a graduate assistant for Saban at Alabama in 2007.
"Coach Nick is one of the greatest there is," Trickett said. "We've known him for years; family friends and just one of the best coaches out there."
Early Offer: Michigan weekend key for ND
Trickett's first kiss was Saban's daughter
West Virginia's opener with Alabama this weekend took an interesting turn Tuesday when Mountaineers quarterback Clint Trickett was asked after practice about his relationship with Alabama coach Nick Saban.
Trickett's father, Rick, who is currently Florida State's offensive line coach, worked at LSU under Saban in 2000.
Trickett, however, apparently had a relationship with another Saban, as well.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Trickett, when prompted that he probably knows Saban well: "His daughter was my first kiss back in the day. So yeah... I don't know if I should have said that [laughs]. She's actually engaged now. Coach Nick is one of the greatest there is. My brother (Travis Trickett) worked for him. He was a GA for him when he first got to Alabama. And we've known him for years, family friends and just one of the best coaches out there."
Trickett cut off the next question to add one more tidbit: "For clarification, we were like six years old! Just so everyone knows that."
It's unclear at the moment whether this news will affect how many blitzes Saban dials up on Saturday.
Preseason predictions and betting guide
Alabama is the most popular pick to win the SEC crown, with Georgia, South Carolina and Auburn also receiving support. The Crimson Tide are the only conference team picked to win it all, although only two of the panel's 23 experts picked Nick Saban's crew to win it all.

Landon Collins eager for the next chapter
That Landon Collins seems long gone now. His body has filled out. His hair has grown some, too. His mustache and chin-strap beard aren't trimmed up neatly like before. The talented special teams gunner fighting for reps is suddenly a veteran in a secondary hoping to return to its former glory. The drama of the past, the questions about his mother and LSU and his very public commitment, are now anecdotes in a larger story about one of the best safeties in the country, a First Team Preseason Coaches All-SEC selection and future NFL draft pick.
"Me and my dad sat down and talked about it before I ever signed to come here," Collins said. "He said by my junior year I'd be starting. I was like, 'No, I'll be playing my freshman year and get my starting job as a sophomore.' We didn't know the outcome, but by God's grace that's what we did.
"I just took it and ran with it."
In a way, both father and son were right. Collins played on special teams as a freshman and was expected to come off the bench as a sophomore. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Vinnie Sunseri, two upperclassmen, were entrenched at safety. But Clinton-Dix missed time sorting out an issue with the NCAA, and right as he returned, Sunseri tore his ACL. Collins stepped in, started nine games and filled up the stat sheet, finishing second on the team in tackles, first in passes defended and tied for second in interceptions and forced fumbles.
With Clinton-Dix and Sunseri off to the NFL and former starting cornerback Deion Belue gone as well, Collins is now the most recognizable face of Alabama's secondary. In fact, he might be the most indispensable player on Alabama's entire defense.
"He's been probably a key guy in a leadership role, defensively for this team in terms of how he's embraced that role and done a really good job," said coach Nick Saban. "The guy practices hard every day, works hard every day."
"I see a guy who's really hungry for this season, a guy who goes out and gets better and better every day" said fellow safety Jarrick Williams, who lauded Collins' speed and ability to tackle. "There's no slacking with him, it's full every day."
Amari Cooper, Alabama's star receiver, said you have to keep an eye on him.
"He's a fast guy getting to the ball," he said. "Like on a reverse, he's coming down really fast. He's always near the ball, so you have to be very aware of him."
Instead of answering questions about his infamous commitment, Collins is now answering for a defense expected to be one the best in the country, despite losing more than half of its starters from last season. On Monday, he talked up rookies, praised the defensive line and assessed the play of another hotly contested recruit, linebacker Reuben Foster. He even answered the tough questions like whether the defense has anything to prove after struggling against hurry-up, no-huddle offenses last season.
His response: "Definitely."
"We've always been known as a defense that's unstoppable [sic]," he said. "You can't run the ball or throw the ball on us. That's how we want to portray our defense like we did in previous years."
We'll know right away whether Collins and Alabama can paint that familiar picture.
The Crimson Tide's opponent to open the season, West Virginia, may have won only four games last season, but coach Dana Holgorsen's offense is potent, having averaged 26.3 points and 410.8 yards per game. It likes to push the tempo, too, as last season it averaged 22.8 seconds of possession per play, 26th quickest in the country.
Collins' leadership, as much as his talent, will be critical to Alabama's success. How he handles Saturday's fast-paced environment will be an indicator of how the defense will fair in the weeks to come.
But talking to Collins, you don't sense any pressure. After having gone through so much already, he's excited about what's ahead.
"Having these guys look up to me and the expectations I have for myself, I think it's going to be a great year," he said.

Watch: Herbstreit's playoff predictions
SEC fearless predictions
Each season we make perfect prediction after perfect prediction. From weekly game picks to preseason teams, we think we've got this whole prognostication thing down to a science!
It's become a tradition here on the SEC blog to release our fearless predictions for the season ahead. I'm riding solo on them this year, but they shouldn't be any less correct this time around.
Here are my 10 fearless predictions for the SEC in 2014:
1. The SEC champion will have two losses ... but still make the playoff: With the talent gap between the teams at the top and the middle of the pack growing tighter, the SEC might be in store for the most exciting divisional races we've seen in a long time. No team is perfect. I've said this since the end of last season: No team will go undefeated in the SEC and no team will leave Atlanta with fewer than two losses. But with how strong the conference is this year, there's no way the SEC champ will be left out of the inaugural College Football Playoff.
3. The SEC will have 12 bowl-eligible teams: Last year, the SEC saw 10 teams go bowling. This year, Florida and Tennessee will reach at least six wins this fall and join the teams that made bowl games last year. Yes, a Tennessee team with brand-new offensive and defensive lines will go bowling, and yes, Florida's offense will be much better.
4. Will Muschamp will finally beat Georgia: After going 0-3 against his alma mater, Muschamp will finally get a win at the World's Largest Outdoor, eh, Party. It's a rebound year in Gainesville with a better offense. Of course, the game will be close, but quarterback Jeff Driskel will engineer a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter to end the bleeding the Bulldogs have caused the Gators the past three years. That means the SEC East title will come down to the Gators' home game with South Carolina on Nov. 15.
5. Arkansas will have two 1,000-yard rushers: The Razorbacks came close last year after Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams combined to rush for 1,926 yards. With so many unknowns still lurking in the passing game, coach Bret Bielema will have no problem handing the ball off to his duo as much as possible. Williams might even lead the Hogs in rushing this year after an impressive offseason. Stacking the box won't stop this duo.
6. The Mississippi schools will reach nine wins: It seems like whenever Mississippi State and Ole Miss have higher expectations, they fail to live up to the hype. Well, that ain't happening this season. With two very manageable seasons, and a host of talent returning, both of these schools will reach at least nine wins this season. Ole Miss gets Alabama, Auburn and Mississippi State at home and should sweep nonconference play. Mississippi State has an extremely soft nonconference slate and gets Auburn and Texas A&M at home. Both Mississippi teams will pull a big upset on their way to nine wins.
7. Leonard Floyd will lead the SEC in sacks: Last year, Floyd led the Bulldogs with 6.5 sacks. This year, Georgia's best pass-rusher will push for All-American status by reaching double-digit sacks and leading the league. He's fast, strong and terrifying off the edge. Floyd had a great offseason and will be a nightmare for quarterbacks.
8. Vanderbilt will make it four bowl trips in a row: No James Franklin? No problem. What Franklin didn't take was the talented core of players the Commodores have. The Commodores return a strong offensive line and a deep, talented group of running backs. New coach Derek Mason also likes what he has defensively. The new 3-4 scheme will make the Dores faster off the edge with Kyle Woestmann and Caleb Azubike moving to outside linebacker. Vandy should win its four nonconference games and will find two more wins to make it back to the postseason.
9. The SEC won't win the national championship: Look at prediction No. 1. While I think the SEC is stronger than ever as a whole, the winner of this league (I'm predicting Alabama) will be pretty beat-up come playoff time -- monthlong break and all. But it isn't just that. I think the country has a great set of teams at the top this year, and I don't see one SEC team really sticking out like seasons past. The seven straight titles were good for the league, but the conference will hit a two-year snag.
10. Ohio State will lose to another SEC team: The loss of quarterback Braxton Miller might have spoiled the Buckeyes' playoff hopes, but they'll find a way to meet an SEC team during the postseason and continue their time-honored tradition of losing to the SEC. Come January, the Buckeyes will be 0-11 against the SEC in bowl games.

my facebook (and real life friend) jeff barnes sent me this picture of best friends harry o. fischer and my grandfather fritz leiber. the two met in college and remained friends for life. and this was before facebook! the inspiration for fritz' s series of novels set in the land of newhon came out of a board game the two created. in february while others are fretting over what to do on the fourteenth, i'm going to be thinking about the fromances of my life.
this is right around the time of year when there's a free treadmill at the gym, when the double stuffed oreos crowd out the kale in your grocery cart, when the pack of cigarettes behind the counter at 7-11 shrieks "buy me!"
the problem with most new year's resolutions is that they're hard. and they're based on the principle that we have to punish ourselves with a good dose of self-discipline and denial. and we can only last two weeks before throwing in the towel. january 14 is the day it all goes south. well, at least it does for me.
in 2011, i had a new year's resolution to meet all my facebook friends in person in one year. that was 325 friends and a lot of travel. a lot of interesting experiences. a lot of new things. 13 countries. 52 weeks of packing my bags. did i meet all 325? no, but i got the asian f. 90%.
since then i have met new facebook friends. and this past week i drove 900 miles in less than 36 hours so that i could meet jim hellman and connie conley in ironwood, michigan–just south of lake superior. i felt so 2011!
connie and jim have known each other forever. well, it feels like forever.
would you believe that connie is younger than me???? i just want to know what moisturizer she uses.
in any event, the duo did not become romantically involved until years later. and how did they connect? on facebook, naturally!
a new year's resolution won't work unless it's fun. and i had fun with my two new friends! they are the 332 and 333rd facebook friends i have met.
just a facebook friend. how many of your friends are "just" a facebook friend? with facebook, linkedin, myspace, twitter we can have friends from all over the world. friends we never meet in real life. friends with whom our interactions occur while we're in our pajamas in front of our laptop or squinting at the smartphone or playing online scrabble (okay, busted on that last one!). we think we know someone but we only know their atavar. we can know them deeply with long heartfelt messages but we really don't know what they'd be like on a road trip, in an emergency, for the long haul.
it's especially easy to rely on these friendship when the rest of the world seems chaotic, hostile, and just plain scary. i think a lot of anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia and depressions have to do with how fast and furious our interactions with the real world are.
i have been isolated for the past two months and i knew that i really needed to change. i was lucky enough to receive an invitation from facebook friends jim hellman and connie conley to visit them in bresmere, michigan—right near lake superior. connie and jim have been my facebook friends for roughly a year and a half. i have never met them before but they invited me. and i am never one to pass up an invitation to visit a facebook friend!
tuesday was sunny and bright. out the door of the bat girl cave by eight o'clock. according to mapquest, it would be a seven hour drive, which means in arlynn driving time nine hours at least.
i find that every new geography means a new food. in this case, something that sounded somewhat disgusting but damn, i ate two of them:
i ended up at the americinn of ironwood michigan and was presented with a slight problem: i had booked my hotel room for monday evening–the day i was online. i didn't read my reservation confirmation. maybe that would have been a good idea. luckily, i have my own personal hotel clerk.
i posted about my stalker a few days ago. william is a facebook friend (well, unfriended now) who became obsessed with me. we are all so easily connected with facebook, email, cell phones, etc. that it's hard to know the proper distance of friendships. over the course of six months, william pressed so hard that i became frightened and overwhelmed. i became completely unhinged when he suggested that he would quit his job in tallahassee and move to chicago to be near me. this was not a romantic obsession, but rather an obsession of friendship.
i blogged about william because i had reached my breaking point. i had not been posting on facebook because i didn't want to deal with him. i had not been blogging or even turning on my phone for the same reason. and i had taken to being extra cautious about leaving and returning to my apartment. i thought of going to the police but then i thought i would trust my friends.
in blogging, i was contacted by a number of friends who had been contacted by william. i heard from friends who advised restraining orders, firearms training, mischief, and mayhem. i received many offers of safehouses, bodyguards, and friends who wanted to speak to william. then i heard from william himself.
he posted a comment to my blog. i made a decision to not approve the comment because i want to protect william's identity–although, to be fair, facebook friends who have been reading my posts can easily figure out who he is and some have already had interactions with him. this is what he had to say:
You are not responsible. This is my fault, and mine alone. I had no idea it was nearly this bad. I wish someone had made it clear to me. You have my word it front of all these witnesses, that you will never hear from me again. And I'm sorry.
i will take him at his word. any suggestions or comments?
stalkers are charming. they have to be, at least at first. because they must scoop up contact information–email addresses, phone numbers, facebook friendship requests, blog subscriptions, street addresses–while the prey still thinks they're harmless.
the target of a stalker has to be, at some level, polite. a polite person doesn't unfriend a friend on facebook. a polite person answers emails. a polite person writes thank you notes, even when the flowers, candy, gifts are sprinkled with discomfort.
politeness on the part of one party and charm on the part of another. makes for a continuing relationship even when both parties don't want one. while it's easily understood that the target doesn't want a relationship with the stalker, it's slightly less apparent that the stalker doesn't want the obsession.
i'm not sure when i became aware that i had a problem with a stalker. my friend bill started off as a facebook friend after he saw me on a television show. he commented on my posts. he poked me. he sent messages. all perfectly harmless and always charming.
he lives in tallahassee, the same city as my father. william sent me a message asking if i would mind if he sent a facebook friendship request to my father. that seemed somewhat reasonable. then he asked if he could friend my two sons. that seemed less reasonable. and then he asked if he could send friendship requests to my friends carolyn, kimberly, and andrea.
i went to tallahassee in the summer to see my father. i posted about how i would be happy to meet facebook friends in the area. william asked to meet me. totally cool. we went to lunch with my dad. i brought flowers, which is what i often do when i meet facebook friends. he brought me a cake, a t-shirt he had tie-dyed and a copy of a book my grandfather had written. william was charming in a sweet, ungainly, awkward sort of way.
when i came home from tallahassee, i started to notice that he was ramping up contact. he might comment on a status update, send a facebook message with a question, then a text with a demand that i respond to his facebook message, then an email to my hotmail account to follow up on the texts. all within the space of an hour. and there's a cycle of charming, flattering, sweet, needy, demanding, angry, hostile and back to charming. william was being unfriended by my circle of friends and family who couldn't stand the obsessive, needy, shrill contact. one of my friends went to the police in her town in order to be reassured that he wouldn't contact her any more. he claimed to have made plans to quit his job in tallahassee and move to be near my home in kenilworth.
i shut down. i stopped checking my facebook account, stopped logging onto email, dreaded the pop up of the text message notification icon on my phone. i stopped responding which made him angry. finally, i unfriended and blocked him on facebook and wordpress. i monitor my hotmail account and my phone for messages because i am concerned that he might decide that he really will come up north from tallahassee. i worry when i leave my apartment and when i return. if there's a knock on the door, i get scared.
i have absolutely no idea why he is obsessed with me.
i have only myself to blame because i ignored every piece of evidence that suggested he was and is nuts. i am scared. really scared. with every tool in the internet toolbox, he knows exactly where i am and how to get to me. and i have no idea how to make him stop. do you?
i am so in awe of my friends. in 2011 i made and delivered — more or less — on a resolution to meet and spend face to face time with my 325 facebook friends. it was harder than i anticipated and way more rewarding than i expected. in 2012 i made and sort of delivered on meeting new facebook friends.
so it's getting to be that time again. i think all of us start the year with optimistic plans to lose weight, quit drinking, give up smoking, be more organized. what's your new years resolution?
how would i feel about being owned by mark zuckerberg? maybe . . . creepy? or maybe like . . . none too happy? this week, facebook users have had to consider this question
when i made a new year's resolution in 2011 to meet all 325 of my facebook friends, i was frequently asked if i understood that facebook owns the copyright on all posts, pics, comments of all of its members. i always thought the original terms of use applied, namely that each member owns the copyright to the content of their profile but that facebook has a license to share that profile information with user's friends.
but over the weekend, as some facebook users noted facebook's announcement that it was amending and altering some of its privacy conditions.
however, mark and facebook haven't actually amended and altered its policy to change copyright claims. it would be silly to do so because copyright isn't something that someone can appropriate like that. instead, facebook has declared it wants to change voting rights for its users. facebook has been forced to publicly announce it was never its intention to make any appropriation of copyright.
but the point remains that facebook and mark have been announcing policy changes so frequently that users can't keep up. so i gotta ask–
in the meantime, i need to get the visual image of being mark's sex slave out of my head!

I crunched the numbers from the White House myself this time. (1)
2001-2008 average 19.86%
1993-2000 average 19.91%
1989-1992 average 21.85%
1981-1989 average 22.40%
1977-1980 average 20.82%
1981-2008 average 20.88%
President Bush spent less as a percent of GDP then Presidents Clinton, Bush I, Reagan, & Carter. There is the FACT.
I am sick to death of viscous sticky internet turd trolls coming here thinking they can spout their ignorant lies. Then when caught out in a lie, they hem, haw, and spout ad hominem attacks and are never held to any kind of standard. They claim to come here to debate or learn or discuss. But the truth is they just want to pound on the ignorant knuckle dragging redneck conservatives and they think we will all take it because they think we will all turn the other cheek. So let's all harrass the meeks over at NewsBusters, eh?
I am here to fact check sticky turd trolls. Check-mate troll. This is now double sourced. BUSH SPENT LESS THAN THE LAST 4 PRESIDENTS before him. I don't know why, but I spent 30 minutes pulling and crunching the numbers to come up with the results. Sticky internet turd trolls ignore facts anyway. But at least we will all have an easy reference the next time a sticky troll pokes up his head and claims Bush was a big spender. Send them here.

During a six-month period last year, in 85 percent of 600 cases for which cellphone information was sought, warrants were obtained, according to information provided by the state to the court. Local or municipal police departments are said to have handled about 60 cases in which no warrants were sought. The court, however, raised the possibility that the data may have overstated the number of cases in which the state specifically sought warrants.
The Earls case has been referred to the appellate court to determine whether the emergency aid doctrine applies. The court observed that the emergency aid doctrine allows police to enter a dwelling without a warrant "for the purpose of protecting or preserving life, or preventing serious injury."

Following a comprehensive investigation, the Justice Department announced today its findings that the Alamance County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) in North Carolina, under the leadership of Sheriff Terry S. Johnson, engages in a pattern or practice of misconduct that violates the Constitution and federal law. The department conducted its investigation, which it opened on June 2, 2010, pursuant to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI).
The Justice Department finds reasonable cause to believe that ACSO engages in a pattern or practice of discriminatory policing against Latinos in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and Title VI. ACSO's discriminatory policing activities include:
Taken together, these practices undermine ACSO's ability to serve and protect Alamance County's Latino residents and the community at large.
"The Alamance County Sheriff's Office's egregious pattern of racial profiling violates the Constitution and federal laws, creates distrust between the police and the community and inhibits the reporting of crime and cooperation in criminal investigations," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "Constitutional policing and effective law enforcement go hand-in-hand. We hope to resolve the concerns outlined in our findings by working collaboratively with ACSO, but we will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action if ACSO chooses a different course."
The Justice Department's thorough and independent investigation included an in-depth review of ACSO policies, procedures, training materials, and data on traffic stops, arrests, citations, vehicle checkpoints and other documentary evidence. Department personnel also conducted interviews with more than 125 individuals, including Alamance County residents and current and former ACSO employees.
Addressing these findings and creating sustainable reforms will require ACSO to commit to long term structural, cultural and institutional change. In particular, ACSO must develop and implement new policies, procedures and training in effective and constitutional policing. Any reform efforts must also include systems of accountability to ensure that ACSO has eliminated unlawful bias from its decision making at all levels.
The department will seek to obtain a court enforceable, comprehensive, written agreement remedying the violations and incorporating these reforms by attempting to work with ACSO officials.
The Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division conducted this investigation with the assistance of consultants in law enforcement and statistical analysis. Members of the Alamance County community who wish to provide information to the department may call 1-877-871-9726 or email firstname.lastname@example.com .

Editors' review
In Slacker Radio, curated stations that are organized by musical genre meet algorithmically generated playlists based on artists you pick (a la Pandora). As with Slacker Radio on other mobile platforms, the Android app lets you stream music from preprogrammed genres and stations, or from stations you set up yourself. As you listen, you can view album art and bios, block a song or vote it a favorite, and skip ahead (limited for free users). If you like what you hear, you can share a link to that station on SlackerRadio.com via e-mail, text message, or Twitter.
Over the years, Slacker has evolved into more than a bunch of simple, programmed radio stations. Now, the streaming service offers talk radio, live sports broadcasts (via ESPN), and even a host of stations curated by some high-profile recording artists.
While Slacker's free service is certainly powerful, its paid accounts offer quite a bit more functionality. The middle tier, Slacker Radio Plus, kills the ads, gives you unlimited song skips, and lets you cache large portions of stations. Meanwhile, Slacker Premium Radio offers an ultimate listening experience, as it adds on-demand listening similar to Spotify. This combination of on-demand listening, curated stations, and algorithm-programmed radio makes for a uniquely rich listening experience.
The widget, which you install by giving the home screen a long press and selecting Slacker Radio from the Widgets list, is embedded with pause, skip, favorite, and blocking controls.
Publisher's Description
With Slacker Radio for Android listen to free personalized radio on your Android smartphone. With millions of songs from thousands of artists, Slacker Radio is the best way to discover new artists and hear your favorite songs.

Flame impingement (6 Posts)

Flame impingementFlame impingement on a cold surface can lead to incomplete combustion, meaning soot and CO. Yet... all gas stoves I know have some degree of flame impingement. I tested my gas burners over the weekend and got some interesting results... I have a big honkin' center burner that I figured would produce the most CO but it actually barely had any, whereas some of the smaller ones had in the range of 100 ppm. And this is for an unvented appliance (range hood notwithstanding.) This was without a pot filled with cold water on top; I'm sure things would be worse with, so I'm almost afraid to test. There's no way to alter the fuel-air mix on these except the big honkin' one.
Ah, well... should have gotten an induction stove, but I likes the flame. Anyone else take a combustion analyzer to their stove or other common appliance?

HmI blame daylight savings, and possibly breathing too much CO. Just kidding on this last one.
Yeah, re-reading what I wrote, it does seem a bit rambling. Just musings about how much care we take (well, some of us, anyway) to properly tune the combustion on an appliance that exhausts to outside, when there are all these other potential sources of carbon monoxide that just dump it into the indoor air.

I do that frequentlyif the stove burners have hooded (adjustable) orifices, you can adjust the flame height by turning them down.
I always test with a pan of cold water on the top burners since that lets me see how they perform under actual working conditions.
With ovens, you want to keep the flame from hitting the "flame spreader" as much as you can. One way to do this is to open the air shutter all the way, assuming this doesn't cause the flames to lift off the burners. This shifts the air supply to more primary air and less secondary air, which shortens the length of the flame. Many oven burners also have hooded orifices as well.
In some cases, the oven will need to be cleaned before you can get acceptable CO-air free readings.

Combustion testing should be done on allfossil fuel burning appliances in the customers home. If you don't and something happens you are liable.When you consider that the ANSI standards for gas ranges allow 800 PPM on an oven that is insanity. Properly set up the gas oven should be less than 25 PPM and no impingement. Impingement will often in addition to CO (colorless, odorless and not detectable by human senses) produce aldehyde a pungent almost kerosene type odor. That is a clear indication of CO being present. I have a complete protocol for use on gas ranges and how to test and set up safely. Actually I would like to see a mandate for a range hood on all domestic gas ranges.

Tim's quote"When you consider that the ANSI standards for gas ranges allow 800 PPM on an oven that is insanity"
is spot on. When I first tested my oven, it was over 1100 PPM air-free. Some simple adjustments cured this.
And this was on a stove that was installed around 1968.

This post announces an update to Graded Browser Support. The GBS page on the YUI site always has the most current information. This post includes a list of primary changes, the updated chart of browsers that receive A-grade support, the GBS forecast, and notes specific to the YUI Library.
These changes are included in this update.
|Win 2000
|Win XP
|Win Vista
|Mac 10.4
|Mac 10.5
|Firefox 3.
|Firefox 2.
|Opera 9.5
|Safari 3.1
The dagger symbol (as in "Firefox 3.") indicates that the most-current non-beta version at that branch level receives support. Put another way, means "the most recent" instead of "all."
In addition to the effective-immediately changes, we're keeping our eyes on pending developments.
GBS does not extend A-grade support to beta versions of browsers. (They receive X-grade support by definition.) However, it's important to be aware of forthcoming releases, especially from established brands that enjoy rapid adoption once generally available (GA). We are currently watching the development progress of Internet Explorer 8.
We made an exception to our "no-betas" stance during IE7′s beta phase in recognition of IE's market share and ability to promote rapid adoption. The exception — committing development and QA resources to provide A-Grade prior to a GA release — gives us an opportunity to learn the new browser's quirks and provide feedback while it is still being developed. And it means our sites are prepared when it goes GA. We will likely extend the same accommodation to IE8. Stay tuned.
YUI 2.5.2, released May 28, 2008, includes full support for Firefox 3.0 and Opera 9.5, even though those two browsers were just added to GBS in this update.
A long time ago the table for GBS showed C-grade and X-grade browsers. Is there a more comprehensive list available somewhere?
I've always thought the Yahoo! GBS concept is reasonable guide when thinking about the browser version problem but I don't remember seeing its manifestation in code. I haven't looked in detail in the YUI libraries for a while but I don't remember any code in the libraries that helped developers ensure that C-grade browsers would receive a C-grade experience. Something like feature testing required features before defining a widget. Is there something I missed on how Yahoo! implements this philosophy?
What should I answer my bosses, if they tell me: "We won't use YUI, because it is not tested on Linux."?
Do your developers use Linux and could this be counted as a kind of test? Or is it sure, that it will work on Linux, if it also works on Mac and Win?
Could you add a comment about Linux to the browser support page that helps me to advocate for Linux?
Sorry: To advocate for YUI, I mean. :-)
How about support for GNU/Linux browsers? I'd expect FF in this overview… ?
We use a similar chart based on a mixture of this and the BBC's version.
I'm interested in the decision to continue support for FF2 in Windows XP but not Vista. Could you explain the thinking there?
[...] Browser compatibilità [...]
Interesting about your compromise for FF2. I had wondered the same thing. Do you have a budget for the number of A-grade green boxes you are allowed in the table?
Why was the choice made for Yahoo to extend A-grade support to Safari 3.0 on Mac and not to 3.1 or to Safari on Windows?
Could you also provide a list of what Yahoo extends C-grade support to separate from the chart?
Re: the GNU/Linux comments — I develop using Firefox on Ubuntu and YUI 2.5.1 and I've never had any problems. Makes sense that you'd like more official support but I thought I'd throw that out there.
[...] Yahoo! has upgraded their browser support gradings. From the Yahoo! User Interface Blog: [...]
[...] GBS Update, 2008-07-03 [...]
I use Ubuntu Linux with Firefox and find that the Yahoo uploader does not work, the "select files" link is covered up by a grey square and no dialog appears when you click it.
Everysooften it says "adobe flash has crashed".

Dear Samardo,
Please man-up on the basketball court. For some reason you continue to get more playing time than Terrence Jennings, so please start playing like you deserve it. These are some things I would like to see in the coming games:
1) You swatting shots into the 20th row of the crowd and then staring at the guy with a psychotic "What the hell were you thinking with that??" glare.
2) When youre in the paint with the ball in double coverage, jump real hard up in the air, knock one guy on his ass, grab the rim, make sure your crotch swings right into the other guys face and then give them an "IM SAMARDO SAMUALS MOTHER F-ER!!!" stare.
3) When the opposing team takes a shot, leap way up high over the other 5 people trying to get the ball, grab it, hit the ground and scream so loud that it scares kids watching at home and the guys on the other teams ask for a breather because they're "tired".
4) A generally dominating and frightening attitude even if your shots aren't falling. I don' t care if you've bricked 5 dunks you can still be scary. Sulking isn't scary though...trust me.
Far be it from me to question Coach's methods, but personally i would send you to some muay thai classes and have them beat on you until your harder than granite. Cardinals fans know you have the potential to be a beast, we just don't want to have to wait till your a senior to see it. I would like to see opposing teams peeing their pants when they have to play you, preferably sooner rather than later.
So start living up to your potential. Now. Thanks.
Sorry for rant, had to get that off my chest.

Real Estate in History
Massachusetts is really a state filled with past and yet oddly modern. Massachusetts property prices are very pricey especially in places like the Manchester MA real estate market.
Massachusetts is surely an incredible combination of past and bustling modern influences. Historically, this state consumed most of the initial European immigrants called the location of crucial battles within the Revolutionary War. Include Manchester MA real estate events for example the Boston Tea Party and you've got a situation using a heritage. While appreciating the past, Massachusetts also pays homage to changing times and is also a hot bed for education, business and sports.
Tiny city. You may&rsquove been aware of it? From colonial architecture to modern skyscrapers, Boston is surely an amazing city that deserves your attention. A favorite big city, Boston is different for putting the old with the new. Statutes and old colonial influences sit below modern amenities for example the financial district. People watching can be a prime hobby at places such as the Quincy Market and Boston Common. College influences is found around Harvard University, Boston College and Boston University. Loafing, exploring and sailing are rife in Boston Harbor along with the Charles River, as well as crab caked galore.
If sports are your thing, Boston will probably be heaven. The Boston Marathon needs no introduction. For professional sports, there is an Bruins, Red Sox, Celtics and, just out of town, Patriots. Add in a major college basketball, hockey and football influence plus you've got an american city which has a major sports passion. Winters are cold, but spring, summer and fall a lot more than comprise it. Boston is an absolutely excellent place to call home.
Nantucket is the house of old colonial architecture, cobblestone streets and seaboard beauty. An island, the location of Nantucket is surprisingly bereft of cars, but does get packed with tourists during the summer. You&rsquoll get the town full of funky little shops, museums and galleries and museums galore. Nantucket is a great place to spend a weekend as prices are outrageous. Make sure you take in a sunset at Madaket Beach.
New Bedford
A fisherman's town through and thru, New Bedford includes a history among the pre-eminent whaling towns in the country. Whaling is against the rules today, however the town still bustles which has a major fishing industry. Whilst the town has lost a variety of it&rsquos charm as a result of development along with a coastal highway, there is a definite feeling of entering into the past in case you move here.
Massachusetts Real Estate Property
Massachusetts property prices are very high. There's zero way for this fact. Just one-house in Boston proper cost a million dollars, while prices vary during the entire state. If you do not&rsquore ready to spend on a $500,000 price, you&rsquore likely to be disappointed while using options.
Massachusetts real estate property includes a solid, but unspectacular appreciation rate, especialy in coastal areas like the Manchester MA real estate. For 2005, property appreciated at rate of a little below 12 percent, slightly below the 13 plus national average.

Big Players in the Retail Market
Snyder" Company. This redevelopment plan aims at building a big outdoor Plaza, which will work as a Civic Square that will attract pedestrians and nearby residents – thanks to some really beautiful fountains, retail kiosks, outdoor restaurants etc.
They believe that this project is only meant for serving the profit motives of a few Big Players in the Retail Market, Santa Monica Houses. A number of people belonging to Low-Income groups are leaving West Hollywood due to this project. These people do not see any other motive than profit of big Retailers, served by this project. Residents who were living in this area happily for a long time are forced to leave this area only due to this project. People who were earlier living in rent-controlled apartments, including many senior citizens, are forced to leave this area as they could not pay the increased market-Value rents, which is a result of construction of new buildings and destruction of the old ones.
All this is happening as the retailers who are backing up this project, have the support of some influential politicians. These politicians have not given any thought about how badly this project will hit the residents of Brentwood Houses, West Hollywood. A number of people, who are living in this area for more than a decade, have received eviction notices due to this project. The redevelopment project is luring the owners of old houses in this area, to sell their houses for reconstruction. The owners are happily selling their houses to developers as they are getting handsome amount in lieu of their old houses. But it is the people living on rent in these houses, who are suffering the most as they are forced to leave theses houses. Many of these people are old and diseased, but nobody cares for them when big profits are luring everyone.
Another issue that is a matter of concern is the "density" issue.

Hi Kim,
You both look absolutely gorgeous!!
I am one of your Australian fans that got to hear you live on the radio as you were walking into the David Letterman show last night.
When are you, Kourtney and Khloe going to come to Australia? I would love it if you girls did a book signing down here.

New East Carolina Athletics Director Jeff Compher was the guest speaker today at the Greater Greenville Sports Club luncheon.
Compher spent his first official day on the job at ECU speaking to the group today. He talked about how excited he was to get started.
Compher also fielded questions from the crowd. He was originally scheduled to begin work on May 1st, but got the early start by a day because of the way the calendar fell for insurance purposes at the school.
"I'm excited to get started," said Compher. "I'm really looking forward to hitting the ground running."

LONDON — Rio mayor Eduardo Paes was worried about what his mop-topped counterpart would do at Sunday night's Closing Ceremonies. "I'm just scared he'll do something crazy when he hands over the flag," he said. Like deliver it by zipline across the top of the stadium. Was there anyone who didn't see the YouTube moment of Boris Johnson stranded and dangling above Victoria Park waving the Union Jack?
If the London hosts opened this global rave-up with Her Majesty parachuting out of the royal chopper with James Bond, what would they do for a finale? What they did was trot out every British cultural icon from decades past — from George Michael to Kate Moss to Annie Lennox to the Spice Girls to The Who — and turned over the party list to Rio de Janeiro, which in 2016 will be the first South American city to host the Summer Games.

Case Study | October 5, 1999
Dissolved Air Flotation(DAF) Clarification For Wastewater Pretreatment Reaps Benefits for Bacon ProcessorSource:

Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) Clarifier Operation
Regulatory compliance management at Marburger Foods Inc. (Peru, IN) report they have taken advantage of dissolved air flotation (DAF) clarification technology in their wastewater pretreatment system for their pre-cooked bacon processing operation. In particular, new capability for salvaging fat has been gained, and continued municipal discharge compliance has been assured for projected wastewater flow increase from plant expansion.
The three DAF clarifiers at the site were manufactured by Precision Environmental Systems of Springfield, MO. Two units for the first stage of pretreatment began operation in mid-1996, and the special unit for second-stage pretreatment, including a flocculation tube assembly, started up in late 1997.
"The results have been excellent," said Jim Walsh, Marburger's regulatory compliance director. "We're probably pulling off fat at an average rate of 35,000 lbs/week, which was more than we anticipated, and the sales of which have already more than paid for the first two DAF units. And since the installation of the third unit in an expansion of the pretreatment operation, we're showing compliance parameters well within the mandates of our state NPDES permit, including oil and grease below detectable levels."
Walsh said the company abandoned its previous lagoon wastewater system in order to gain capability for recovery of fat, which is sold primarily for livestock and pet food. In addition, there was no room for lagoon expansion that would have been required to allow continued regulatory compliance for projected increased wastewater flow.
The company's customized NPDES permit for municipal discharge, developed by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management in consultation with the municipality of Peru, calls for a pH within 6.5-8.5; Total Suspended Solids(TSS) within 250 mg/l; Carbonaceous Biological Oxygen Demand(CBOD) within 200 mg/l; and oil & grease within 100 mg/l.
Walsh reports that their two-stage DAF pretreatment process has typically reduced oil & grease from 140 mg/l to < 4="" mg/l;="" maintained="" a="" ph="" of="" 7.1-7.6="" without="" any="" need="" for="" adjustment;="" lowered="" tss="" from="" 812="" mg/l="" to="" 48="" mg/l;="" and="" reduced="" cbod="" from="" 1760="" mg/l="" to="" 42.3="" mg/l.="" in="" addition,="" dissolved="" oxygen="" measurement="" increased="" from="" 0.3="" mg/l="" to="" 4.7="" mg/l.,="" "demonstrating="" a="" good="" level="" of="" oxygen="" in="" the="" activated="" sludge="" tank".="" (see="" table="">
Wastewater Pretreatment Operation
In the first stage of DAF pretreatment, 70,000 gal./day of process wastewater flows from two plants into concrete receiving pits, which serve as temporary flow equalization tanks. The wastewater is then pumped from the pits into two DAF units, where fat is skimmed off and pumped to a tanker. The first-stage DAF effluent drops into twin concrete receiving pits, and is then pumped to a common, 150,000-gal. flow equalization tank.
In the second stage of DAF pretreatment, water from the common flow equalization tank is pumped into a third DAF unit, which the manufacturer describes as a unique "split" type. Water enters one side for treatment, and is then discharged to a 250,000-gal activated sludge tank. Discharge from the activated sludge tank feeds back to the other side of the "split" DAF unit for further treatment before being gravity fed to the city sewer. Sludge from both sides of the unit is skimmed off and pumped to a sludge storage tank.
Walsh added that the second-stage, "split" DAF unit was equipped with flocculation tubes for each side.
"Each tube assembly contains multiple ports for injection of polymers, coagulants, and pH monitoring," he noted. "We're running a polymer dose of 2-4 lbs./day on the first side, and 1-2 lbs/day, only when needed, on the second side."
Sludge is disposed via land injection according to the terms of a state land application permit. Farmers receive the sludge as free fertilizer in return for allowing it on their land, realizing an agricultural value of about $40/acre.
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) Clarifier Operation
Precision Environmental Systems says the first stage of the DAF pretreatment operation, which began in mid-1996, uses twin vertical, lamella plate-style cells. The company says the second stage, which began in late 1997, features a unique horizontal, open-style split DAF cell. According to a spokesman, the vertical style was chosen because of higher flow rates and lower solids loading, while the horizontal version was specified for lower flow rates and higher solids loadings. Each is said to be constructed entirely of 304 ASME Certified Stainless Steel.
Flocculated wastewater enters each DAF Cell through a Flow Distribution Manifold. As the water passes through the manifold, it is mixed with a side stream of recirculated, clarified water that contains very finely dispersed dissolved air. The dissolved air is produced by a highly efficient, stainless steel, multi-stage pump that maximizes the solubility of air in water.
The dissolved air creates microscopic air bubbles, 30-50 microns, that easily attach to solids particles and carry them to the surface of the water, completing the process of flotation. The floated sludge is then skimmed off and transferred for removal and/or recovery. The clean water, now substantially free of solids, is ready for discharge or further treatment.
Precision Environmental Systems, a division of Precision Stainless, Inc., provides custom designed, engineered, and manufactured DAF Cells and systems for a variety of applications, including meat, poultry, citrus, dairy, fish, and other food processing plants; laundry, cleaning, and mining operations; textile plants; tanneries; refineries; and bakeries. They are designed to remove the majority of all suspended solids, fats, oils, and greases, but will not remove anything dissolved in the water, such as sugars and salts. Flow rates range from 15-700 gpm.
The company says systems can be fully automated with Precision Computerized Process Control, manually operated, or partly automated.

DEWITT, Mich. (WLNS) - A local woman is planning a trip to Texas to raise money for a non-profit in Jackson. But she's not planning to fly or drive there, Janna Rowan is going to cycle 1,200 miles.
She plans to roll out September 1, but this isn't a typical adventure. She's got a long way to go on and off the road.
"My goal is $10,000, but an even bigger goal is raising awareness, telling people there's deaf-blind people out there with needs, they have resources that they don't have access too," said Rowan.
So far, she's raised $120. An interpreter herself, Rowan knows first hand the struggles deaf-blind people face and she hopes more people will saddle-up and donate through her website. The money will help pay for things like "support service providers," who help deaf-blind folks with day-to-day tasks many take for granted.
"When they're in the grocery store, what different name brands of food they have, who's in the store? What's the weather like?
For more information on how you can help Rowan reach her goal, visit Seen on 6.

Trying to style Add to Basket functionality similar to iTunes
Hey there,
I'm having trouble styling an iTunes type Add to basket/Buy button which also has social sharing functionality.
See the visual here:http://www.energycell.co.uk/html5/conundrum1.gif.
the code I currently have for the line item is:
HTML Code:

Mountain Gorilla

By: VanguardCinema

Rent: $99.99

Own: $99.99

I thought about using an unordered list instead of DL but I couldn't figure out how to have the 2 link areas within the one list element. I also want to avoid using Javascript if at all possible, pure CSS if it can be done.
Has anyone seen anything like this before and got any ideas which is the best way?
Thanks a lot in advance...I'm a bit stuck.

We can't do anything without more code . If you have a link then please let us have it.
If you don't, then please post full HTML and CSS at least.
Is the "over" state just not working? I'd check your CSS for any :hover pseudo classes and see if they set any backgrounds.Always looking for web design/development work.

Thesecond disc contains demos,live tracks(2) and rarities includingtheir last demo and 7″.

I thought about writing this post awhile ago, but didn't make the time. But now that I know that there's interest, here's some info on Dino's year in Sweden.
Maryland fan favorite and supreme charge-taker Dino Gregory is currently playing for the Sundsvall Dragons of the Swedish Basketball League (Svenska Basketligan). Sundsvall is in east-central Sweden, and as you can imagine, it's very cold and dark this time of year. Still, it's good to see Dino contributing to a pro team and hopefully he will have a lengthy pro career.
Dino is a regular contributor for the team and is averaging 14 and 7 per game. Recently, he had some key blocks late in a game that secured a win (Google Translate)
The Dragons (who won their league championship last year) have a record this year of 16-12 and are in third place in the league standings. The season will be wrapping up in March, and I believe the top 8 teams go to the playoffs.

McElroy has a concussion and will be replaced by Mark Sanchez as the New York Jets' starting quarterback in the season finale at Buffalo on Sunday.||||||| Coach Rex Ryan says Thursday that McElroy, preparing to make his second NFL start in place of the benched Sanchez, was lifting weights and had headaches.
McElroy was sacked 11 times Sunday in a 27-17 loss to San Diego.||||||| McElroy was 14 of 24 for 185 yards and one INT but he never had a chance. Nevertheless, coach Rex Ryan announced after the game that McElroy would start the season finale next Sunday at Buffalo.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan has benched Mark Sanchez and will start third-string quarterback Greg McElroy in Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers.||||||| Sanchez threw four interceptions Monday night and couldn't handle a low snap with the game on the line as the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention with a 14-10 loss at Tennessee.

(WMC-TV) - College for most students is their first time away from home. Now more than ever, building a good credit history is important.
"Loans mortgages and car loans that we can qualify for but also employers look at credit history insurance companies do," said Odysseas Papadimitriou who runs a finance website called cardhub.com.
He says if a student is out on his or her own for the first time a secured credit card might be the best option.
"It is a normal credit card. The only difference is when you get it, you put a security deposit down the similar way that you put a security deposit down when you rent an apartment," said Papadimitriou.
For example, if a student put a down payment of $500 on a secured credit card, then 500 dollars would be the credit limit for the card holder. The card holder would build up his or her credit paying the bill each month. The safety net is that down payment. Of course, the student can increase credit limit by adding money to the down payment. At the end the cardholder can get that down payment back, or if he or she walks away prematurely the down payment covers your credit costs.
"They also learn how to handle credit in a very responsible way," said Papadimitriou.
Two of the secured credit cards mentioned include Harley Davidson Secured Credit card, it does not charge an annual fee, and Lifemiles visa, it does not have an annual fee the first year and you can earn miles toward free airfare.
Papadimitriou also says prepaid visa cards are like a debit cards. They can be effective, but they build absolutely zero credit history. There are a lot of suggestions for the right credit cards for students in different situations so they can build credit history effectively to see it. Click here to see more.

Leaps of Love

5 Great Leaps
Does your social life need a boost? Or do you want to enhance the relationships you already have? Try these leaps.
- Single? Go on a blind date. If you've been out of the dating pool for a while, asking a friend to fix you up can be a nice way to dip your toe in the water. Even if he doesn't become the love of your life, the experience of going on a date -- wearing a cute outfit, sitting in a dark restaurant with a nice man -- can get you back in the game. Plus, he might have friends! "Anything that expands your world is a good thing, so long as it doesn't wear you out. If after eight blind dates you feel a bit jaded and tired, then it's time to take a break," says Sills.
- Invite an acquaintance out for coffee. When we were younger, making friends was as easy as saying, "Hey, everyone on the floor's getting pizza. You in?" But once we get to be adults, a kind of shyness sets in. It is scarier, but look at it this way. The worst that can happen is that she'll tell you she's busy. The best is that you're beginning a great new friendship!
- Try a costume change -- in the bedroom. Switching from flannel jammies to black silk and lace is definitely a leap worth taking. "The risk is that you'll feel uncomfortable or foolish," says Sills. "But it's a good risk to take because your sex life won't sustain itself -- it needs a little help. So you have to get a little uncomfortable from time to time."
- Be the first to say "I was wrong." After an argument with a partner, we tend to value being "right" over anything else. But imagine how much nicer life would be if you skipped the stalemate for once by making the first move and admitting your error. Sills offers one caveat: "Surrendering the need to be right is a very good thing -- unless you're the one who always does that already. Then that's when you want to do the opposite and hold your ground."
- Compliment a stranger. Have you ever had someone walk up to you and tell you that you had a fantastic pair of shoes or an adorable child? Remember how great it made you feel? Telling that gal walking toward you that she has a wonderful skirt will make her feel terrific, and that feel-good buzz will rub off on you, too.

Netherlands – Vebego under pressure
The Dutch recruitment market has seen a continuous slowdown with industry figures showing a steady decline in staffing revenues. Vebego, one of the 10 largest recruiters in the Netherlands, has now reported more difficult trading conditions.
In an interview with the Dutch daily FD, CEO Ronald Goedmakers said that the recession had impacted business activities and margins have come under pressure. The recruiter, which employs around 50,000 staff, reported that managed turnover in 2012 dropped by -4% to €1,088 million although not all of this is derived from the recruitment business.
Mr Goedmakers said the company expects to make annual savings of €2.5 million, following a change in management structures. The family business operates in the Netherlands, France, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium where recruitment activities have largely dropped in the past year as clients remain costs conscious.
But the structural change is anticipated to improve the company's financial performance after earnings after profits dropped last year. In 2012, EBIT was down by -2.2% to €28.3 million. Vebego is not a sole staffing business and the firm cautioned that its recruitment activities had been sluggish.
"The margins in the [recruitment] sector are under enormous pressure," said Board member Steph Feijen. "Our staffing companies are too small to compete with the market leaders." The turnover of the group's staffing subsidiaries amounted to around €200 million last year. But the company is still expecting to remain profitable in 2013.
