One of the options for treating your child's lice infestation is to comb them out with a high-quality metal lice comb. Combing can be a highly effective method if you're very careful and consistent about doing it.
Lice combing can be done in addition to applying over-the-counter lice treatments such as permethrin or pyrethrin, or on its own. What you need is a good lice comb, an effective technique, a lot of persistence, and a child who will tolerate the procedure.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends chemical lice treatments instead of combing, but not because combing doesn't work. It simply isn't practical for many parents to rely on combing alone.
Why? Because combing, when done properly, is tedious and extremely time-consuming – especially if you're doing it instead of applying a chemical treatment. If you're determined not to use an OTC lice treatment, though, or lice treatments have failed you, combing can eradicate a lice infestation.
A lice comb is a good diagnostic device, too. Studies have found that a lice comb is the best tool for finding live lice.
A high-quality lice comb has long, fine, metal teeth that are very close together. Some experts say not to bother with plastic combs or the ones that come in the lice medicine packages. The best combs are available online (or possibly at your local drugstore) and from lice salons.
Good combs to try include the Nisska (German-made, stainless steel), about $24 at exit15.com; the Nit Free Terminator, around $13; and the LiceMeister, about $10.
You may see or hear about electronic combs, but according to Richard Pollack, a lice expert at the Harvard School of Public Health, the electronic versions probably offer no advantage over a traditional, well-designed lice comb.
Once you're ready to comb, set yourself up in an area with good, strong light. You may want to be in the bathroom or even outside if there's good daylight.
What to have on hand:
A good comb-out can take up to three hours depending on how long, thick, fine, or curly the hair is. Be ready with an activity for your child. Many parents let their kids play handheld games or watch videos to keep them still. Audio books work well too.
Before beginning the lice comb-out, wet the hair, add some conditioner or detangler, and comb out the tangles with a regular comb. Some people find that using plenty of goopy, white conditioner on the hair makes the combing process easier, slows down the lice, and makes it easier to see them on the comb.
How to do a thorough comb-out
When you've finished the whole head, unclip the hair and rinse out the conditioner. Rinse the comb and clips in hot, soapy water to clean them. Wash the clothes you and your child were wearing during the comb-out.
Print out our illustrated guide that shows you how to do a lice comb-out.
Do a comb-out for everyone who has an active infestation every day or two until you've seen no live lice in the hair for about two weeks. The first combing should get rid of most of the lice. With each subsequent combing, you'll remove more of the remaining lice and some that have hatched in the meantime.
If lice are an ongoing problem in your area, try combing out hair once a month.
"Regular comb-outs are the best prevention," says one mom whose daughter had lice twice. "The minute I see one of those lice warning notes from school, I sit my daughter down for a combing. I also comb her hair out after sleepovers or other outings where the kids are close together. We haven't had lice since."
If your child's hair is too hard to comb – too fine or long or thick or curly to get a comb through over and over again – you're going to have a hard time getting the lice out using a comb.
Though it's pricey, a lice removal service can be a great option, saving you time and worry. These salons and individuals are skilled at comb-outs and topical treatments, and they know how to keep kids occupied. Look online for one in your area or ask at school for a recommendation.
Another option worth considering is cutting your child's hair. A shaved head means an instant end to head lice, but this solution is usually only acceptable to boys.
For girls, you may be able to save yourself and your child a lot of time and frustration by cutting her hair short (so it's easier to comb out) or shaving the back of her neck (a key place for lice to hide and lay their eggs). You'll have to do it yourself, of course, since you can't take a child with lice to a hair salon.

Can you lose money with a 50% interest rate?
The answer is yes. I was recently writing an article on merchant cash advances and stumbled across a surprising piece of information. A company which loans money to small businesses at an interest rate of more than 50% was losing money. A number of companies have entered the alternative lending space.

Some people in Prince Albert are expressing concern for their safety following the horrific — and as-yet unsolved — assault of Marlene Bird.
Homeless woman viciously attacked in PA. This should be making national headlines across the country. Instead we are only hearing about it in Saskatoon (the closest neighbouring city) 2 weeks after it happened, and a week after a hundred people marched in the community to demand answers.
The PA mayor has been quoted as stating, "You would think they would unite and sort of come together and..take care of each other".
It is up to ALL OF US to care for one another and to help the vulnerable and marginalized. Show love to your fellow humans today, our corner of the world needs it.

About 20 individuals in Saskatoon are known to use more than $100,000 per year in health and other community services, she said. "Sometimes it's emergency visits, ambulance, other community services or corrections resources … They really need a wraparound service to help them," Davies said. "Many are homeless."
Society would do better to redirect that $2 million toward providing those 20 people with housing and other supports, she said.

One hundred years ago inside the brand new Barry Hotel, an orchestra played as patrons enjoyed a 50-cent full-course dinner. Nearly 100 years later, items from inside the hotel were auctioned off after a Saskatoon veterinarian bought and decided to tear down the property that by its end had earned a reputation — fair or not — as a home for prostitutes, drug dealers and general thuggery. This is the oral history of Saskatoon's Barry Hotel.

Prime time media outlets seem to suggest that homelessnessand violence go hand in hand. Derek Brook explains why this stigma is not only inaccurate, but systemically perpetuated. Lack of affordable housing and a mental health system in tatters contribute to the problem.
When I talk about the Lighthouse (the homeless shelter I work at) to a group of people, often the very first question is, is there a lot of violence there? Or, what do you do when people are violent?
I talk about our protocol and our procedures, but the truth is, violence is pretty rare. (Cameras, better trained staff, and being more judicial about who is allowed to stay in our suites has changed security a lot in the past couple of years.)
We are the last stop at the station, we are the place of last resort. The other options are the other shelter, a police cell or the streets, and even in summer people don't actually want to sleep outside, unprotected against the elements.
Gang members are also almost non-existent in shelters, even though there are a few hundred gang members in Saskatoon. Gangs take care of their own. When someone threatens someone else that their gang will come get them, we know it is purely posturing and a bluff.
We have no qualms about calling the police about any physical or verbal threats or drug use because it is the only way to keep everyone safe. When you hold people to a high standard, they rise to it, especially if you are consistent with everyone.
The stigma of violence and therefore being afraid or scared of people who are homeless just isn't true. Mental health issues are higher than the national average in people experiencing homelessness but that does not mean their risk of violence against others is higher than other groups.
I have never felt threatened or more worried about my personal safety any more than I did while working at the mall.
But I know people will continue to ask me about how I can work with those 'awful homeless people', forgetting they are PEOPLE just like you or I.

The corner is now a gaping hole, piled high with twisted metal and smashed concrete. It's a palpable symbol of the gentrification of Second Avenue.
But not everyone thinks the downtown needs cleaning up.
"Downtown has a life and vibrancy and something different than living in the suburbs," says DeeAnn Mercier, who works at the Lighthouse Assisted Living on Second Avenue. She spends most of her work week on the downtown streets.
"It has a variety of cultures and demographics. It's actually brushing up against people in the community that you are living in, and that is part of the joy of living downtown," she says.
Mercier doesn't buy the argument that demolishing the McDonald's or getting rid of the Olympia solves anything. While it might make people living in $500,000 condos feel safer when they walk down the street, it's not really fixing the core of the problem, she says.
"There are people who live in poverty, who live downtown, who live in horrible conditions and are probably drug dealing or using (drugs) themselves. That happens downtown, and that's a fact. But that happens in a lot of parts of the city. It's maybe a little more open downtown because there are people. I think that's an aspect of our city that we want to ignore," Mercier says.

Hello, my name is Marcus!
I am a huge roller coaster/water slide enthusiast and love to travel. I do not travel very often, but when I do I always bring my camera just in case something I like pops up.
This is the simple website that I have always wanted so I can show off my work. Currently I have a Photo Index with photos I have taken of many places I have recently visited. Below and above you can find links to my YouTube Channel to see my videos, my Twitter link so you can follow me, and my Vimeo Channel where I keep some other random videos you might not see on YouTube. I have also implemented a NoLimits page above to showcase my work in NoLimits coaster simulation software. Feel free to take a look around. There might be more pages available eventually.

Great tool
By Gurn
from Rexo
Was a little worried that I was buying the right one, as I had never used a spine tester before.Now I know I did the right thing. At three rivers Shawn gave a quick how to lession, and assured me I was buying a good tool. When I got it home I read the instructions, then called Ace to make sure I understood everything. Bob at Ace Archery really made me feel comfortable with operating it, and checking the calibration.Some time later I dropped it and bent a part on the tester. Once again I called Ace Archery, and once again they proved to be more that helpful.They sent me the repair parts out, and made sure I understood how to get it back going again. Thank you Ace and Three Rivers for such fine products and service. I would give it five stars if I could.

• International Obligations. NWS needed to maintain its international obligations, most notably through the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and none were altered by the MAR.
• Budget. NWS and NESDIS are parts of NOAA and the DOC, and thus subject to NOAA and DOC considerations as well as their own.3 Furthermore, NWS worked with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), and FAA and the Department of Defense (DOD) for the Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD).
• Downsizing Government. The NWS expected the MAR to increase the efficiency of its operations and downsize its organization with no degradation of weather services. The agency planned to reduce the number of field offices from 256 to about 120, and to reduce its staffing levels from a pre-MAR level of 5,100 to about 4,000 through restructuring and automation (GAO, 1995d; NWS, 1989).4 The long term net savings in staffing costs was used as part of the justification for the MAR (NWS, 1989).
• Performance Guarantee. Congressional Language (Public Laws 100-685 and 102-567) required certification that services did not degrade. This was an important factor in deciding how the MAR would be executed, with several key processes tied directly to this issue.
• Congressional Politics. In addition to agency-level political issues, NWS was highly sensitive to state, district, and local politics because of the national distribution of field offices and the plan to close or move many of them. There was high potential for politically-influenced congressional and Administration involvement, and resulting risks to the overall plan and delay, that played out in numerous Congressionally-requested reviews of individual office relocation plans (OAR, 2010) and even specific legislative direction for the location of particular offices (U.S. Congress, 1992).
• Labor Relationships. NWS had strong union participation at the field office staff level (National Weather Service Employees Organization; NWSEO). The MAR did not include plans to change the role of NWSEO, but the proposed change in workforce structure meant NWSEO and its members were strongly affected. Prior to the MAR, NWS had generally maintained limited interaction with NWSEO (NRC, 1994a).
• Partnerships. NWS depended on many partnerships with government, academia, media, and private sector entities. At the time of the MAR, some of these were generally strong (e.g., government, academia, research institutions, technology firms), others such as the media and private sector meteorology firms were informal to a fault, or simply absent.
• Shared Responsibilities. The MAR elements of ASOS and NEXRAD required shared responsibility with FAA and DOD. This inevitably introduced challenges from authority and coordinated budgeting. Within NOAA, the shared responsibility with NESDIS for satellites was important, but mostly handled in a cooperative and constructive way.
• Public-Private Interaction. A growing private sector marketing weather products was increasingly performing functions of data acquisition, modeling, and delivery of customized products. At the time, there was considerable friction between NWS and the private sector regarding perceived conflict of roles (NRC, 2003a).
• Completeness. The MAR did not focus primarily on some elements of the enterprise, such as the River Forecast Centers (RFCs). These, while proceeding along in development, did not receive the same priority in planning, implementation, and oversight as the other elements of the MAR.
Budget and Schedule
Information sources available to the committee are surprisingly poor for assessing budget and schedule performance of the MAR. The generally accepted authoritative source is GAO reports published throughout the MAR, which are rather sparse in their supporting details. The annual National Implementation Plans of the MAR documented budget requests; while not always identical to the funds expended, they provide some ability to interpret the GAO numbers.
3One anecdotal comment was that "[i]t is sometimes easier to get funding for new programs than for sustaining existing ones" (Kraus, 2011).
4Staff was ultimately reduced from 5,200 to 4,700 while changing the mix from one third meteorologists and two thirds technicians to the opposite (NRC, 1994a; Sokich, 2011). There were proposals for more dramatic staff reductions early in the planning stages (Booz Allen & Hamilton Inc., 1983).

Two weeks ago, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that it is looking into the technical glitches that plagued Facebook's IPO on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in May. Depending on what they find, regulators may force Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. to upgrade its systems before another instance of high-volume trading creates more problems for investors seeking to capitalize on enticing opportunities that are all-too-rare in the current economic environment.
SEC scrutiny isn't the only problem confronting Nasdaq in the wake of the debacle that befell its largest IPO to date. Brokers are lined up for restitution from losses suffered when trades failed to process and clients of the 41-year-old exchange are now openly questioning whether or not the exchange is still as much of an industry leaders as its reputation portends. Worst of all, many potential listee companies are just as concerned as the SEC and wondering if the glitches will resurface with future IPOs. And let's not forget that Nasdaq's chief rival, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), has already successfully courted tech start-up clients including LinkedIn, Pandora, and Yelp.
Nasdaq's decision to bring in IBM to review current technologies and practices represents a positive first step in regaining trust in the marketplace; but internal efforts will do little to rebuild confidence without an effective public awareness campaign that emphasizes recognition of the underlying problems and a steadfast commitment to solving them.
With Facebook announcing earnings on July 26, and having stated that it will remain with the exchange for now, the situation bears watching. The situation is fluid – and companies have much less tolerance for unforced errors today.
If Facebook defects, it may not be long before other tech start-ups start defriending Nasdaq and hitting the "Like" button for the NYSE.

Each artist has had stunning success in recent months. Lee Foss, part of the Hot Natured quartet has been going from strength to strength; their latest single, Reverse Skydiving, has reached the necessary heights to fulfil its own title.
Similarly, both Andre Crom and Ben Pearce have had their fair share of the limelight too. Perfect Thing has long been a personal favourite of ours and we're pretty confident that everyone and their dog has, at some point, got down to Ben's What I Might Do.
If you're quick, you can still grab your ticket off NJAT.
Oh, and who knows. Maybe, just maybe Anabel Englund will show up.
Audio Asylum bring another stunning line up to the table. The 18th of April will see Bondax and others grace Newcastle's legendary World Headquarters.
Be sure to grab your ticket.
House of Horror at Persistence Sundays
Not content with hosting one of the biggest house music sessions in Newcastle every week, the Persistence team have got together to give you a one-of-a-kind spectacular Halloween treat.
The aptly named House of Horror has arrived. On Sunday the 28th of September, Persistence will be taking over both The Cut and Loja in what is no doubt going to be Newcastle's biggest and best Halloween celebration.
With Persistence being taken to new heights every week, it should come as no surprise that its first one off special is pulling out all the stops. A massive 6 DJ's, yes 6, will be gracing the Halloween special with their presence. Weekly resident CJ Costigan returns among others such as Scottie Disneyland, Adam Christie, Tom Higham, Nathan Williams and ex Ministry of Sound and Pacha resident Jay Stone! With all 6 DJ's focused on bringing you the best in quality house music, and each with their own unique style and twist, this is one line up that you just cannot afford to miss.
And if that wasn't enough, the Persistence team have announced that Paris Percussionauts will be making a return with his legendary bongos! Having preformed with some of the worlds best DJ's, he's certain to bring a spice to the night that you won't find elsewhere.
Of course, a Halloween themed night would be nothing without a well dressed crowd and while it's not a requirement to be looking at your best (or worst?), the most scarily looking boy or girl can expect a bottle of vodka on the house. If that isn't enough inspiration, we don't know what is.
You'll need a ticket for House of Horror and they only cost £7! With the combination of The Cut, Loja and 6 of Newcastle's finest house DJ's, that price is quite literally a steal. Just get in touch with either the event managers Dean Saunders on 07751359424, Emilio Arceri on BBM 21F73CA0, Kalover Loverson on 07564697043, Michael Johnson on BBM 276DC46C for tickets and guestlist. Alternatively check out Persistence on Facebook and Twitter. You'll want to do it soon as it's already proving to be in demand, and you definitely don't want to run the risk of a higher price or even no entry on the night! For details on drink offers and pre bars, check out our original article on Persistence Sundays.
Oh, and trust us when we say that although it's named House of Horrors…the music will be anything but horrific!
Black Light Newcastle
The Big Bad Robot (website and Facebook) team have long already made their mark on Newcastle's clubbing scene. The team behind some of Newcastle's best loved event nights, such as Waikiki (Twitter and Facebook), Social Butterfly (Twitter and Facebook) and Dirty Little Secret (Twitter and Facebook), Big Bad Robot should need no introduction. With nights that not only appeal to Newcastle's diverse range of students but countless well practised locals as well, it's clear that Big Bad Robot are capable of bringing something different to the table. After all, their success speaks for itself.
The team's latest offering is no exception.
Say hello to Black Light (Twitter and Facebook), the newest entry in the Big Bad Robot line up. Running every Thursday at the well established Legends, a favourite among many Newcastle based residents, Black Light brings some of the best in house music to the table. Curated by the Northern Project team (Twitter and Facebook), made up of Dan Stafford and Paul Thomas, you can expect only the very best in house to grace your ears. Coupled with a visual lighting system that's almost seizure inducing, and even Co2 cannons, Black Light is an all out assault on your senses - a truly unique experience.
And the good news doesn't stop there. With £1.50 shots, Fosters and VKs, along with £2 house doubles up until midnight, you don't need to worry about breaking the bank. Standard entry will cost £5 but it takes zero effort to get that down to £4 on guest list.
How do you go about doing that? Simply get in touch with the main men themselves, event managers Adam Dawkins on 07715284775, Will Cooper and Danny Alvarado. Now these guys are not your run of the mill event managers; they are the one-of-a kind charmers. They understand that the key to a great night is all about putting the customers first. Your experience is their priority and making sure the atmosphere is on another level is the only concern they have. Solidified by their hands on approach that brings record numbers through the doors every week, it's an experience that you can't afford to miss! That's not your only option though, a quick word to either Charlton Ndlovu, George Archer or Henry Wade will also ensure you can enjoy that precious guestlist entry.
Introducing Persistence at Tup Tup Palace…
Newcastle has long been missing a quality night that premiers nothing but house music; one that focuses on just the music itself. No gimmicks, just quality house that is the only fitting way to end the week.
With the introduction of Persistence that runs every Sunday, that void has almost definitely been filled. Persistence is an all out 100% house music night brought to you by the well known CJ Costigan (his SoundCloud and Facebook…check it out) in the only venue that can sustain such an eclectic atmosphere - the legendary Tup Tup Palace (Facebook, Website).
With a stellar line up of pre bars that include the infamous Victoria 22, Label, Indigo and Spy Bar - not to mention the superb drink offers available at Persistence on the night itself, Sunday has definitely turned into the one day of the week you look forward to, rather than dread.
So, how can you get guestlist? Persistence already offers an incredible standard entry price of £5 but it takes nothing but a quick word to get that down to £4. Even better, if you're a trade worker, i.e. anyone that works in restaurants or bars in town, you can get this down even further to an unbeatable £3. It's quite honestly the best way to end the week.
Just send a text to 077429850142 or 07751359424, leave a message on the Persistence Facebook wall or even get in touch via the Persistence Twitter.
One night. 100% house music. Persistence at Tup Tup Palace. The only way to end the week.

Top Features of the dhb Aeron Cycling Short 2013
- 'Ceylon 190g' performance stretch fabric (80%Nylon-20%Elastane)
- CyTech Elastic Interface 'Race LT' chamois (cycling pad)
- dhb branded elastic leg opening with silicone gripper

Product Data
dhb has responded to the feedback of our riders and improved the staple garment for any cyclist's wardrobe. We have refined the dhb fit model to a more athletic fit giving greater comfort in the saddle. The Aeron shorts are built from Ceylon performance stretch fabric manufactured by the leading Italian fabric mill. The Nylon-Elastane composition provides positive compression, which allows muscles to work effectively whilst allowing excellent breathability. The Fabric is smooth to touch yet is durable and engineered to work hard. Elasticated leg openings with dhb silicone grippers help to prevent the short leg from rising up to the crotch. At the heart of the short is the Elastic Interface 'Race LT'cycling pad. The pad has a contoured foam construction, designed to keep the rider comfortable in the saddle.
Available in: Black / Red / Blue / White

Cycling pad/chamois information
About Lycra Cycling Shorts
Cycle shorts offer unrestricted movement on the bike with the added benefit of a chamois for comfort. They are the traditional cycling leg wear for any distance rider. Lycra shorts hold their internal pad in the ideal position throughout the ride, offering comfort and cushioning for both on and off road riding. Lycra shorts stretch with your body so there are no seams to rub you up the wrong way or restrict your pedalling motion. They are lightweight in material and since there is only one layer of thin fabric, they breathe well and keep you cool on hot days, or can be used under a pair of winter tights. Higher end models will have more panels and will generally fit better, a good pair of shorts is essential for longer rides and combined with a chamois crème make a wise investment.

Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
Do you wear anything over these?
You can use these on their own just fine but there is nothing to stop you wearing baggies over the top if you like.
but I do not wear anything under them as it is more comfortable without
As for over - whatever will work. I am Ok with the lycra look, but sometimes wear shorts over, if I want to look grungy.
What size is fit me?
Are these shorts suitable for use for a triathlon?
Size for tall and skinny rider
Iwould also be very happy to pucrchase the other colours in small instead of medium when I need to get another pair of light intensity lycra shorts.
The only thing, is that the very bottom of the leg, is quite big, so would fit better if I had a larger quad.
XXL: 42-44" waist
If you go to the product description and scroll down to the sizing chart all the information you'll need is there.
How many shorts are in a pack?
Are theese shorts transparent?
I have the black shorts, and I can confirm that they're not so lightweight as to be see through, even when stretched. However, the fact is that any lycra shorts are figure hugging and its possible that shapes would be visible, depending on how you arrange yourself!
That said, I'm not keen to try the white ones on a rainy day...
What size to go for.
I'm 6ft 3 with a 35" waist. can you recommend the correct size for me.

Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again.
In my mind. Just standing in this dark, cold place, unable to move, all alone, forgotten. My every thought, emotion, voices whispering are overwhelming. And I'm just there slowly turning into a hollow, a shade. Waiting for something to happen, that would drag me from this hell and make me feel…alive.

Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
As our world finds itself in armed conflict in so many volatile regions, give those who work for peace, a cessation of violence, and the care of refugees and the victims of these tragedies the strength and fortitude they need to meet such great needs. Grant success to the work of their hands.
The Members of this assembly have returned home to engage in campaigns for election. Bless them with peace, honesty, and fairness. Bless the people of this great Nation with the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that they might responsibly participate in our American democracy.
Please keep all who work for the people's House in good health, that they might faithfully fulfill the great responsibility given them in their service to the work of the Capitol.
Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
"Prayer is, for me, an outburst from the heart; it is a simple glance darted upwards to Heaven; it is a cry of gratitude and of love in the midst of trial as in the midst of joy! In a word, it is something exalted, supernatural, which dilates the soul and unites it to God. Sometimes when I find myself, spiritually, in dryness so great that I cannot produce a single good thought, I recite very slowly a Pater or an Ave Maria; these prayers alone console me, they suffice, they nourish my soul.
Story of A Soul, Chapter X "

KISHANGANJ: Amidst great fervor and enthusiasm, UPA Chairperson, Smt. Sonia Gandhi today laid down the foundation stone of AMU Kishanganj Centre at AMU Centre's land in Chakla village of the district. Union Minister for Human Resource Development, Mr. Pallam Raju, Bihar Governor, Dr. D. Y. Patil, Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar and Bihar Minister of Education, P. K. Shahi was also present on the occasion.
Addressing the people, Sonia Gandhi assured that allocated fund for the centre will be released soon. She said that she will see that the development process in the centre is not marred by any fund crisis. She assured of full help on her part. On this occasion, Gandhi interacted with the people.

Photos: Criminal charges for HP players
Summary: California Attorney General Bill Lockyer announces that he has filed criminal charges against five people.

Lockyer announces charges
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, far right, announces that he has filed criminal charges against five people involved in Hewlett-Packard's use of "pretexting" to trace boardroom leaks. The defendants include former HP Chairman Patricia Dunn, former HP lawyer Kevin Hunsaker, and three outside investigators. Also present, from left to right, are Robert Morgester, deputy attorney general, special crimes unit; Jo Graves, chief assistant attorney general for the criminal division; and Bob Anderson, chief deputy attorney general for legal affairs.
Press conference
California Attorney General Bill Lockyer speaks at a press conference in Sacramento announcing criminal charges relating to a Hewlett-Packard pretexting investigation. Lockyer said that current HP CEO Mark Hurd is not being charged, though another prosecutor later clarified that "it would be premature at this point to say anyone's cleared."

Advisors are, willfully and intentionally, in an odd position. They are not parents, nor are they teachers or therapists – but they perform some of the functions of each of those, if need be. They are, more than anything, people to be made use of – for guidance, for advocacy, and even for instruction. It is their job to know what forms need to be submitted where and when. It is their job to be able to point their advisees in the right direction, for specific kinds of information and support, academic or spiritual or psychological.
A successful advisor/advisee relationship can only rest on honesty and respect, on both sides; and upon a free and full exchange of information. At most institutions, academic warnings go to the advisor as well as the student (but not, under current law, to parents – advisors are not conduits of information to home – something that they and parents may need to be reminded).
But in most cases, trouble is apparent to the student long before it becomes "official" – and effective corrective action is always best undertaken early. If the worst-case scenario develops, and the student faces disciplinary action or official punishment for academic dereliction, a good advisor can be of great help as a spokesperson; but only if they can honestly say, "X and I have been working on this situation for some time, now, the following steps have already been taken, and we've worked out the following corrective plan of action." But that argument only works if the student has been forthcoming and frank in reporting anything which might be problematic.
One other thing that can be a useful role for the advisor derives from the peculiarly hierarchical nature of colleges. Students can visit office hours or try to call instructors or administrators; but the sad fact is that such efforts are often met with a closed door or a busy signal. It is remarkable how quickly and effectively a call or an e-mail from a faculty member gets through and is answered.
Advisors, usually, are volunteers. They do the job because they want to be helpful. To be helpful, they need to be kept informed, early and fully. And they need to be made use of, politely of course, but clearly nonetheless. And listened to, since they have almost certainly developed a certain empirical sense of how a particular institution operates, which courses or departments are legendary mine fields, and what balance of classroom and extracurricular activity has, in the vast majority of cases, been productive and happy.

These issues have been considered by the Congress in its deliberations on voluntary national testing, and it has called on the National Academy of Sciences to carry out studies addressing several of them. 1 This report addresses the set of questions bearing on the appropriate, nondiscriminatory use of educational tests. Congress has asked the Academy, through its National Research Council, to "conduct a study and make written recommendations on appropriate methods, practices and safeguards to ensure that—
The questions the Congress has framed reflect concern about the increasing reliance on tests that have a direct impact on students, including the impact of high-stakes testing on various minority communities and on children with disabilities or whose native language is not English. This study therefore focuses on tests that have high stakes for individual students, although the committee recognizes that accountability for students is related in important ways to accountability for educators, schools, and school systems. Indeed, the use of tests for accountability of educators, schools, and school districts has significant consequences for individual students, for example, by changing the quality of instruction or affecting school management and budgets. Such indirect effects of large-scale assessment are worth studying in their own right. This report is intended to apply to all schools and school systems in which tests are used for promotion, tracking, or graduation.
Results of the study addressing questions related to the feasibility of a common reporting metric appear in Uncommon Measures: Equivalence and Linkage Among Educational Tests (National Research Council, 1999b). A third study, Evaluation of the Voluntary National Tests: Phase 1 (National Research Council, 1999a), is an evaluation of the first year of the VNT development process.
