As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

New York Fashion Week Spring 2012 - Jason Wu
The Jason Wu girl is the girl who I want to be. I loved that Wu's designs were so sophisticated and classic but still had a cool edge to them; it was the mix of the uptown and the downtown girl that made this so interesting. I feel that his skirts are going to spark up a trend, I don't think I've seen a lot designers have this kind of shape; I really like that its long in the back and short in the front - it has a certain drama to it! The colors were really fun and just on track for spring, the neons and the prints were fantastic. I can't really afford straight off the runway Jason Wu looks but I CAN NOT WAIT for his special collection with Target. Great job Mr. Wu!

BUSINESSDESK: Meridian Energy will pay a $71.3 million dividend on its earnings for the first half of the financial year, in line with its policy of a 75% payout ratio.
The company declared an underlying net profit after tax of $98.9m for the six months to December 31, down 20% on the previous period, largely thanks to the sale its two Tekapo hydro power stations to Genesis Energy as part of government-mandated electricity sector reforms.
Low hydro inflows during the period also reduced earnings for the largest of the state-owned electricity companies slated for partial privatisation over the next five years.
"Board approval of this level dividend is positive reinforcement of the company's performance during this period," chief executive Mark Binns said.
The company was also ensuring it had sufficient capacity to fund future growth plans.

5 Comments & Questions
Bl**dy dividends. Who needs em? Tell you what lets sell Meridian then we wont need to get them every year. After all cutting a few jobs at various Ministry's is a MUCH better way of balancing the books.
Sell it quick before we get any more of these long term sustainable returns.
Before everyone gets too excited, remember that is a dividend yield of a tad over 1% (on stated commercial value).
Let's see what the listing price actually is. Higher forces are currently driving Contact price down to justify a low IPO price.
Expect them to list this with a 7%+ Div yield.
And still they put up the prices when is enough enough?? do you know we pay people to go to work, to find ways and means of screwing their customers.
It's like the supermarkets, they have raised the prices of commodities to such an extent, that they have specials now and they are still making much more than full retail, it is so staggering this modern world, look at the horrific profits the Banks return....greed is going to destroy this world watch and see.

Previously (Physical Properties of Haloalkanes), we learned that haloalkanes contain a polarized C-X bond, leaving a carbon that is partially positive and a halogen that is partially negative.
Examples of Negatively Charged and Neutral Nucleophiles
Now let's look at two actual examples of these two general equations. In the first reaction shown below, the negative nucleophile, hydroxide, reacts with methyl iodide. Hydroxide takes the place of the leaving group, iodide, forming neutral methanol and an iodide ion. This reaction is the same as the first type of nucleophilic substitution shown above. In the second reaction shown below, the nuetral nucleophile, ammonia, reacts with iodoethane. Ammonia takes the place of the leaving group, iodide, forming the positively charged product, ethylammonium iodide, and an iodide ion. This reaction is the same as the second type of nucleophilic substitution shown above.

ILM's Customs Facility Rated #2 by Pilots
June 17, 2014
ILM's Customs Facility Rated #2 by Pilots
Wilmington, NC – ILM's Customs Facility was recently ranked among the top 5 US Customs & Border Protection Facilities by thousands of pilots on FltPlan.com. The Pilots' Choice Awards are conducted every year and allow pilots across the world to choose their favorites in the following categories: Top US FBO, Top ATC Tower, Top US Customs Facility, among others. Coming in second best to St. Lucie County International Airport in Florida, ILM's Customs Facility was awarded #2 on the list of US Customs & Border Protection Facilities.
Completed in 2008, ILM's Customs Facility provides a full service Federal Inspection Station (FIS) for aircraft seeking an international arrival. Last year alone, 1,542 aircraft cleared customs at ILM. Pilots enjoy the quick turn around times provided by ILM's Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) as well as the option to refuel without having to taxi the plane to a seperate location, a luxury not all customs facilities can provide.
Jon Rosborough, ILM's Airport Director, stated, "We are very proud of our Customs Facility and can see why pilots would vote it so highly in the Pilots' Choice Awards. The state-of-the-art facility offers pilots the comfort and convenience desired after international travel."
With over 145,000 active, registered pilots, most of whom fly multiple weekly trips, FltPlan users are the customers who frequent the awarded FBOs and airports. FltPlan has become the most comprehensive source for FBO information online and in the cockpit. For a full list of awards, please visit http://bit.ly/FltPlanAwards

Lockpick is Easy to Learn and Easy to Put Down
I'm not sure what to make of CLO Software's LockPick game. At first glance, it seemed like a very appealing game. At second glance, it was, even at its modest $0.99 price tag. The big idea behind Lockpick is to use what look like bobby pins to pick locks, with each lock more difficult than the next.

Presenting, LOKI! Since I'm polishing my skills in drawing heads, I thought it best to draw a series of comic book character portraits. This is the second in the series, Catwoman being the first [https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=562195787135875].
Though Tom Hiddleston has become synonymous to Loki because of his magnificent portrayal of the character in the films, this head was based on Adrien Brody!
Loki was created by writer Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, & artist Jack Kirby. He is one of the most powerful beings from Asgard & is Thor's adoptive brother & archenemy. He first appeared historically in Venus #6 (August 1949) & in modern times in Journey into Mystery #85 (October 1962).
"You pretend to be separate. To have your own code. Something that makes up for the horrors. But they're a part of you. And they will never.. go.. away." ~ Loki
Done rendering fur stole. Will ink rest of costume next. I don't know what to do with the background yet
Phase-by-phase drawing development of my most recent fantasy art illustration, Loki.
I was looking forward to drawing Loki's face. I had it all planned in my mind even as I was drawing Thor! So, composing his face only took a minute.
The pose, however, was another story. I tried about 3 poses before finally deciding on this one!
Loki was the son of the giants Farbauti (father) & Laufey (mother). He was not an Aesir, but he lived in Asgard after Odin had taken him in & made Loki Thor's blood brother.
Loki was quite a sorcerer - he had the ability to transform himself into other beings, including animals.
His time with the Aesir did not seem to influence Loki with their high regard for honor & benevelonce. Loki was just not to be trusted! He was full of mischief & as time went on, he became more & more crafty & scheming. Because of this, Loki often got the gods at Asgard in trouble, though he could also make amends on some occasions & make right what he had done wrong.
Did you know, Loki was described as being quite handsome!

Constant and Switched Bias Low Frequency Noise in p-MOSFETs with Varying Gate Oxide Thickness
Kolhatkar, J.S. and Salm, C. and Knitel, M.J. and Wallinga, H. (2002) Constant and Switched Bias Low Frequency Noise in p-MOSFETs with Varying Gate Oxide Thickness. In: 32nd European Solid-State Device Research Conference, ESSDERC, 24-26 September 2002, Firenze, Italy.
|The low-frequency noise power spectral density of MOSFETs is decreased if the MOSFETs are periodically switched 'off' (switched bias conditions). The influence of the gate oxide thickness on fixed bias and switched biased low frequency drain current noise spectral density of PMOS devices has been experimentally investigated. Under constant bias conditions, it is observed that the current noise spectral density increases linearly with increase in the gate oxide thickness. The larger the measured low-frequency noise under constant bias, the larger is the noise reduction after periodically switching the P-MOSFETs off.

Interview Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at L-3 Communications.Interview Details
Spoke with them at a Career Fair at my school. Applied for interview through school's job board website. Within 2 weeks of the application period being closed I received an e-mail saying I had been selected for an interview on campus. Went to interview and then 2 weeks later was called and e-mailed saying they wanted to bring me down to Gainesville for an on-site interview.
The company places you in a hotel nearby and requires that you be at the site around 8:00 in the morning. You first speak with someone from HR discussing all of the benefits the company would offer and then they take you to who would be your boss if you started working there. You speak with that person and several other positions throughout the day. Each person walks you through what they do for the company. They each have a copy of your resume and ask you questions about classes and experience that you may have. Interviews are relatively informal but still very professional and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes and you may be speaking with 1 or 2 people at a time.
You spend practically the entire work day there speaking with and walking around the hangars and offices and even eat lunch with a member of the team you would be working with. At the end of the day, you speak with HR again regarding how the day went and wanting to know if you have any other offers or competition. They take about 1-2 weeks after you interview to respond with an offer or rejection e-mail. The e-mail was sort of disappointing because the one I received was a template of a rejection letter and very impersonal.
Later, you receive a check in the mail as compensation for your travels.Interview Questions

With the 2014 NFL Draft in the books and the regular season fast-approaching, Badger of Honor is taking an in-depth look at each and every Wisconsin Badger in the National Football League.
Up next in the series is another 2014 undrafted free agent hoping to earn his spot on an NFL roster: Brian Wozniak.
Wozniak came to Wisconsin in 2009, and after redshirting his first year on campus, played in 47 games for the Badgers over the course of the next four years.
He was mainly a special teams player until his junior campaign, when he started 11 of 14 games for Wisconsin. He followed that effort in 2013 by starting 10 of Wisconsin's 13 games.
Wozniak was never Wisconsin's primary tight end target in the passing game, but he excelled in his role complimenting Jacob Pedersen.
Over the course of 2012-13, Wozniak recorded 15 receptions for 127 yards. He became a red-zone target last season, as four of his six receptions went for touchdowns.
As you would expect from a Wisconsin tight end, Wozniak excels as a run-blocker, having helped pave the way for the likes of Montee Ball, James White and Melvin Gordon during his two years in the starting lineup.
He's seen as a traditional hand-in-the-ground tight end capable of helping immediately in the run game.
Signed by the Atlanta Falcons following the draft, Wozniak is one of several names the Falcons have competing for the spot left open by the now-retired Tony Gonzalez.
Veteran Bear Pascoe and second-year player Levine Toilolo, as well as fellow undrafted Badger free agent Jacob Pedersen (who will be profiled as this series continues) are the competition Wozniak faces in training camp.
Wozniak's blocking abilities will certainly come in handy for a team hoping to get another couple of years out of Stephen Jackson, and Atlanta's talented group of receivers (if Julio Jones and Roddy White stay healthy) mean Wozniak wouldn't likely be asked to produce instantly as a receiving threat.
Should he make the squad, Wozniak has the chance to be another in a steady stream of Badger tight ends making impacts on NFL rosters.

Easy-to-see LED indicator and quick snap-in installation makes this single-pair surge protector uniquely simple to service. In response to today's increasing reliance on telecommunications and the devastating consequences of interrupted service in commercial, industrial, and multi-unit residential buildings, DITEK Corp., a manufacturer of quality surge protection products for demanding environments, announces its new SNAP LiTE: a quick-connect surge protector for 66-block multiple-line systems. The simple, yet groundbreaking incorporation of a clearly visible LED light on the face of the unit allows trouble-shooting at a glance, as the light only goes out if the surge protector has blown. Its economical single-pair configuration and availability in five service voltages (30-130V) enables the SNAP LiTE to address a variety of telecom, voice data, and twisted-pair video applications on the same 66-block-drastically cutting maintenance time and costs while protecting phone equipment.
Designed as a central point to terminate telephone lines and similar equipment, 66-blocks remain ever susceptible to electrical surges that can be devastatingly costly to vital communication systems. Until now, facility engineers and electrical contractors had to contend with pico fuses and bridge clips that gave little or no indication as to their status. If a phone line went down, a technician would have to use a butt set with special probes to test if the protector was working or not. However, with the diagnostic LED on the SNAP LiTE surge protector, a building or plant manager can avoid a nuisance call simply by noting if the light is on or off. If the light is off, that means the protector has done its job of protecting expensive telecom equipment.
"The SNAP LiTE can withstand thousands of small 'hits', but when it has finally self-sacrificed, you just pop it off, stick another one on, and you're back in business," says Dave Dinsmore, strategic market development manager at DITEK. "For a facility manager that has somebody handling their phone room equipment, it's a no-brainer to take care of. You can't even install it backwards or upside down; there's only one way it can go onto a 66-block. It clamps right over the pins themselves; no tools are necessary."
Each SNAP LiTE model features sneak current protection and guards against both over-amperage and over-voltage conditions. Able to survive thousands of small surges, the SNAP LiTE allows a continuous current of 150 mA (Max), and gives protection modes of tip to ground and ring to ground. All SNAP LiTEs measure a diminutive 3.25" x 1.60" x 0.38" and weigh only 14 grams.
"In real-world telephone operations, there are going to be situations where you will need a variety of different clamping voltages on the same block," notes Dinsmore. "So this gives you the ability to custom tailor each pair. The SNAP LiTE is smaller than an audio cassette, so you can easily fit one over each of the 25 pairs on a single block without taking up extra space on the phone room back board."
The singular-pair configuration of the SNAP LiTE accounts for the lowest per-pair cost in the industry.
"There's a lot of small commercial operations where they have a 66-block, but they only have six lines or less coming in, for example," observes Dinsmore. "You really don't need a 12-pair or 25-pair surge protector to protect just six lines. By using SNAP LiTEs, you only use as many as you need, so money is saved up front."
"Having reliable telecom service is a must for my tenants," says Marios Savvides, owner/developer of several mixed-use projects in Santa Monica, CA, including The Breeze, a 56-unit apartment building with some commercial spaces. "A product like the SNAP LiTE means that I can provide optimum protection at a reduced price, with less service calls and reduced maintenance expenses. I don't see why any other owner wouldn't want to start using these immediately."
SNAP LiTE 66-block surge protectors are immediately available at a MSRP of $22.40. Each is accompanied by a lifetime replacement warranty. DITEK products are made in the USA, and parts are inspected at every stage of component assembly. Final testing on every product built further accounts for top quality and UL497 approval.

Laptop is pretty beast and stands up pretty well in all the benchmarks. I would prefer the touch-pad a little more center but overall design is nice. Good review on this one as usual.
"I have the power!!"
i own the older version of this and i must say after going threw asus and dells like no other this laptop will be sticking with me for a while this is a beast laptop for anyone to own not only gamers i would check it out before buying anything else.
I'm still using an ASUS G73 with AMD 5970m and have yet to find something that it doesn't handle. These ASUS and MSI laptops seem very competative for features across the board.
Smooth Creations LANShark "Blue Flame" + ASUS G750JZ
"This beast of a laptop looks great, its a formidable machine. I have one question though, to the reviewer, How would you rate the screen quality performance, its one important part that was left. Is it crisp and sharp at factory default settings or did you have to do some tweaking, and also, were off angle views good ?
That is one hell of a machine, 12GB of memory in a laptop... I could imagine that this thing would work great for doing some 3D rendering.
On first impression I like this laptop quite a bit and would certainly recommend it .A short time ago member here in HH may have been considering this model or similar for about the same cash.At these prices a laptop that can be easily configed to suit can be had at Maingear and no bloatware, But ths MSI looks like a sweet machine for the price.
Sure the specs are great and the battery life is do-able for performer like this one from MSI. Would have to really see the screen and get the feel of it .& would not hesitate to put on a short-list to consider.
"Don't Panic ! 'cause HH got's your back!"
Specs are great as well as the benchmarks. Is it really necessary for mobile computer makers to put all those logo stickers on such a beautiful piece of hardware? :p
Never stop learning... until you're dead.
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Optimus - I was pleased with the overall screen performance. Also, the viewing angles are excellent.
"Good to know, in the past, at Newegg , people who bough MSI gaming laptops were complaining about the sub-par screen quality and resolution. That was one of my main concerns with the new generation, so I see they have stepped up their game, thanks for the reply.
I think the sound lights would work well for gaming where the enemy might be firing at you but you cannot tell where the shot is coming from.
Or a racing game where you are about to be passed but on what side? The lights might assist you.
I look at it like a poor man's eyefiniti.
Sweet specs....except for the price!
This seems like something you buy and stays flashy for about six months, then turns in to that old Commodore 64 that sits in the corner with nothing but old porn loaded on it, by the same time next year?
@ that price they could have at least made it a 17 incher?
The outside design is sweet as well!
~ My 1st Build ~
~ PCAudioLabs Rok Box MC 7xs ~
So this or Maingear eX-L???? I can't decide.
I ve got the latest NVIDIA gefore GTX 560M chipset laptop, to get more inforemation check the

There is a spring Couch to 5k/Jumpstart Program available. This 7 week program will get you up and off the couch.
The Brooksie Way Training Program, presented by McLaren Health Care, is for those who have never participated in a race before and for those who are looking to improve their time goals. This program will prepare you to run or walk the Half Marathon (13.1 miles), 5k (3.1 miles) or 10K (6.2 miles) on September 28, 2014.
The strength of this program is the weekly group workouts with others going your same pace. At the group workouts, no matter what distance you are training for, most running and walking will be done using an interval method. Runners will run for a designated time, walk for a minute, then run again. Walkers will walk for a designated time, shuffle for a minute then resume their walking. For instance, if it takes you 10 minutes to run a mile, you would be in a group which runs for 3 minutes/walks 1 minute/runs for 3 minutes. You will use this interval method for your entire workout, you will not "graduate" to running without using intervals. The group workouts will help you to build your endurance. We also request that you run or walk 2 other days during the week. The combination of the group workouts and homework will insure your success on race day. We do have a non-interval half marathon group.
There are many different options to take part in this program so please see all the details. This program is designed for adults, no pets or listening devices are allowed at the group workouts. For more details, contact Sue Barnes, 248-841-1313 or email@example.com.

2014 Middle School Challenge Information coming soon.
Types of Programs
We have programs for all levels of runners and walkers. You can also download the Training Program Application Form for all the programs listed below.
Utilizing an interval style of training, groups will train using run/walk/run intervals. For example, if you run a ten minute mile, you would use intervals of running for 3 minutes and walking for 1 minute. At the Placement Expo you will comfortably run a mile or two so that you are placed in the proper group. The intervals will be adjusted for the groups with a faster or slower running pace. There will be groups which are working to finish the race and also speed work groups to improve time. The speed work groups will participate in group runs and also do actual track speed workouts. The run/walk/run method will be used at all distances.
Non-Interval Running Groups
For those who would like to train without using walking intervals. Long runs will be done every other week with speed work session on a track on the other weeks.
Walk/Shuffle/Walk for the Walking Program
The Walk/Shuffle/Walk program uses an interval method of training. Participants will walk at the Placement expo to be placed in the proper groups. The intervals will be walk/shuffle/walk with groups at different paces. There will be non-speed work groups and a speed work group. The walk/shuffle/walk method will be used at all distances.
For questions or for more information contact Sue Barnes, firstname.lastname@example.com, 248-841-1313.
Rochester, Southern Oakland, Clarkston, MacombFitness - groups range from completing the race in 2¼ hours to 4 hours. These groups will meet every week and increase their mileage and endurance. Throughout the summer there may be some hill workouts or a track workout to change things up. No experience needed.Speed work - is for people who have been running for at least a year. Speed work is done to help build stamina, endurance and to help provide for an "extra kick" towards the end of the race. Each week, groups will alternate between long group runs using intervals and workout on a track or some hill workouts. The track workouts will consist of increasing numbers of laps run at a fast pace with recovery in between. Participants should be able to run 3 miles during the first night of training. The goal for these groups will be to finish the half marathon in 2:00 to 2:30 hours. Speed work participants will be broken into smaller groups during the first few weeks of training. To help you decide whether this is a level for you to try, please keep the following information in mind:
To complete a half marathon in 2 hours, you need to run an average of a 9:00 minute mile. Because of the walk intervals, your actual running pace will need to be faster during your running interval.To complete a half marathon in 2:30 hours, you need to run an average of a 11:25 minute mile. Because of the walk intervals, your actual running pace will need to be faster during your running interval.
Non-interval Group - will train to complete the race in less than 2 hours, which is under a 9:00 minute a mile pace and will not be using intervals. This group will also go to the track and do speed work or hill training every other week. The track workouts will consist of increasing numbers of laps run at a fast pace with recovery in between. Participants should be able to run 4 miles during the first night of training. If you are unsure where you should be placed, we will help you at the Placement Expo, it is very important that you are in the group that will be best for you.All groups are not offered in every location. See location page for detailed information on programs offered at each location.Half Marathon Walking, RochesterThere are 2 designations of walking groups in the Thursday evening program. Each of these groups will be broken down into smaller groups as necessary. Make sure you choose a group where you will be comfortable training for 13.1 miles. One way to judge a comfortable training pace is the ability to carry on a conversation while walking. There will be a morning walking program with one group, speed will depend on the participants registered.Walk Blue: 15:00 minute mile pace and faster (complete a 5k faster than 46:00). This is a half marathon finish time of less than 3 hours and 15 minutes. Walk Green: 15:01 minute mile pace and over (complete a 5k slower than 47:00). This is a half marathon finish time of over 3 hours and 16 minutes. If you are unsure where you should be placed, we will help you at the Placement Expo, it is very important that you are in the group that will be best for you. 10k/5kThe 5k and 10k programs will meet once a week, beginning with a combined Placement/Kickoff night on June 19 at the Auburn Hills Community Center. Both groups are asked to do 2 other nights of running or walking to build their stamina.The 10k program, which is 12 weeks will meet for their first workouts on Thursday June 26. The 5k program, which is 10 weeks, will meet for their first workouts on Thursday July 10. Running - 5k/10kFitness - These groups will work on building their endurance to complete their race.

PORTAGE | The Portage City Council on Tuesday voted down the proposed $3.5 million park bond issue.
The vote was not totally along party lines.
Democratic City Council members Liz Modesto, Pat Clem, Matt Scheuer and Sue Lynch voted to deny the issue. Democrat Mark Oprisko and Republicans John Cannon and Ted Uzelac Jr. supported the bond issue.
The majority Democrats said money should not be going to the parks when there are more pressing needs in the city.
"I'll put safety in this community before entertainment," said Clem, saying Portage needs improvements to streets, sidewalks and pump stations that are "ready to fall apart" before spending money on parks.
Modesto said the park department is just paying off a bond issue that provided improvements to the parks.
"It is not that any council person wants to see the parks fail. It is a matter of priorities," Scheuer said.
Cannon defended the need for improvements to the parks, saying facilities need to be maintained and the money needs to be invested.
The majority of the money was earmarked for projects at Woodland and Countryside parks.
Oprisko defended his vote by saying the issue has been in the works for months and has been discussed. He asked his fellow Democrats not to deny it, but table the issue if there were additional questions.
Director of Public Works A.J. Monroe also asked the bond issue be tabled so that council members — who reviewed the proposal last month during a first reading of the ordinance — could have their questions answered.
Monroe said the issue could be pared down, but there were some projects within it, such as reroofing the Sycamore Hall at Woodland Park, that need to be addressed.
He also told members if they had questions before Tuesday night, they should have asked and the purpose of the issue, while laid out in a written plan months ago, would have been explained.
"With some time, I think we can answer some of your questions about priorities. With time, we can give you a prioritized list of projects," Monroe said.

Latest Player Updatesclose
James Butler
Thu Nov 4, 2010 8:52 am Rams SS James Butler did not suffer a high ankle sprain as originally feared.
Fantasy Source Spin: A high ankle sprain would have knocked him out multiple games, but since it's lower on his ankle, he could play in Week 10 after the team's Week 9 bye.
Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch
Mon Nov 1, 2010 3:51 pm Rams SS James Butler is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain in the team's Week 8 win.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler has been banged up all season, so it's surprising that he's appeared in all eight of the Rams' games. He's likely to miss the next 4-6 weeks. St. Louis just signed Michael Lewis and could consider placing Butler on I.R.
Source: Rams on Twitter
Sun Oct 24, 2010 1:58 pm Rams SS James Butler exited in the second quarter Sunday with a knee injury and is questionable to return.
Fantasy Source Spin: It's not clear if Butler aggravated the sprained MCL that caused him to miss most of training camp. Craig Dahl has entered in Butler's place and isn't an obvious downgrade.
Source: St. Louis Rams on Twitter
Wed Sep 8, 2010 8:17 pm Rams SS James Butler has resumed practicing in team drills after missing nearly all of training camp with a sprained MCL.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler is working with the scout team, indicating he's not projected for a big role to open the year. Craig Dahl will stand in as the No. 1 strong safety.
Source: St Louis Post-Dispatch
Sat Aug 7, 2010 11:47 am S James Butler (knee) is expected to miss extended time.
Fantasy Source Spin: This come from coach Steve Spagnuolo, though little else is known about the injury at this time. We'll bring you more when things clear up.
Source: St. Louis Rams on Twitter
Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:13 am Rams agreed to terms with SS James Butler on a four-year, $14 million contract. Another $3 million is available through incentives.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler emerged as a starter for the Giants in 2007. The former undrafted free agent is an imposing specimen at 6'3/215, knows Steve Spagnuolo's system, and is a force against the run. He's not great in coverage, however, and that could be exposed because of St. Louis' pass rush. Butler, 26, is an upgrade over Corey Chavous, but that's not saying much.
Source: ESPN.com
Mon Mar 9, 2009 9:41 pm FOX 31 in Denver reports that free agent S James Butler has agreed to a four-year, $14 million contract with the Rams.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler can reportedly earn another $3 million via incentives. The Niners gave Butler a brief look, but otherwise St. Louis was the only team known to be in pursuit. He'll be a surefire starter there after Corey Chavous' release.
Source: Fox 31 Denver
Mon Mar 2, 2009 6:30 pm Free agent SS James Butler is reportedly leaning towards signing with the Rams.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler never did visit Cleveland and St. Louis has made the most sense all along. The lack of interest in fellow free agent SS Sean Jones is surprising.
Source: New York Daily News
Sun Mar 1, 2009 12:04 pm The player rep for free agent SS James Butler denies reports that his client visited the Browns late Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler may still be weighing his offer from St. Louis, where he knows the scheme and would be comfortable. The Rams are the only club he's visited.
Source: Cleveland Plain Dealer
Sat Feb 28, 2009 12:41 pm Free agent S James Butler may visit the Browns later Saturday.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler is in St. Louis, but it appears he's far apart in contract talks with the Rams. Butler is a solid, if unspectacular, option to start at safety.
Source: Newark Star-Ledger
Fri Feb 27, 2009 4:09 am In addition to G/C Jason Brown, the Rams will host free agent SS James Butler for a visit on Friday.
Fantasy Source Spin: New Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo developed a high opinion of Butler when the two were together in New York. The team has a glaring need at strong safety.
Source: SI.com
Mon Jan 12, 2009 1:21 pm Asked about his future with the Giants, impending free agent S James Butler says "I want to be back, but you never know."
Fantasy Source Spin: "The Giants have to take care of their business, and I have to take care of mine," he said. Butler was a solid starter in a Giants defensive scheme that doesn't value safeties highly. Another team will likely overpay him in March.
Source: Newark Star-Ledger
Wed Apr 30, 2008 9:32 am Giants S James Butler plans on signing his $1.47-million tender offer soon.
Fantasy Source Spin: Butler didn't receive any interest as a restricted free agent, and now he has to contend with first round rookie Kenny Phillips.
Source: Newsday
Wed Feb 27, 2008 11:37 am The Giants extended restricted free agent SS James Butler a second-round tender and QB Jared Lorenzen a low tender.
Fantasy Source Spin: A steady first-year starter in 2007 when healthy, Butler can make $1.417 million in 2008 if he signs the tender. It's a nice upgrade from the $435,000 he got last season. Lorenzen will draw minimal interest around the league.

Publisher Comments:
John Waters is a man happy with his lot in life: genuine satisfaction with his growing business, contentment with the ease of family routines, and the pleasures of watching his daughter bloom. But this happiness is hard-won, and may be less stable than he would like to believe.
Years earlier, Waters escaped an obsessive love affair with the ravishing but disturbed Mallory Candler, a love that he feared might consume him. Mallory disappeared after Waters married, and later he heard that she had been killed in New Orleans. Now, however, he has the uneasy feeling that the secrets they shared have resurfaced to trouble him — and entice him — once again.
"Irresistible pass-the-popcorn fun." People
"This novel should come with a red wrapper marked DANGER: HIGH EXPLOSIVES." Stephen King
Successful businessman and happy family man John Waters suddenly faces his past--an obsession he though he had escaped--when the beautiful stranger meets reminds him too much of his old girlfriend. That's because she is. A "People" Beach Book of the Week.
The beautiful stranger John Waters has just met reminds him too much of his old girlfriend-because she is.

Yoko Ono headlined a benefit concert for Japan at Columbia University's Miller Theater yesterday, March 27, raising an impressive $33,000 according to Rolling Stone. Also participating in the event were "art-rock" heroes Sonic Youth, Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton, as well as several other musicians.
Yoko Ono joins the likes of pop stars like Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani, who have both contributed to relief efforts since the earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan.
The March 27 concert was merely the first in a series of five shows curated by John Zorn; Artist Direct reports that the second show featuring Yoko Ono will be held tomorrow, March 29 at Le Poisson Rouge and will welcome special guest Patti Smith.
As always, it's great to see that musicians of all types are showing us that everyone can find some way to contribute to those in need. Yoko Ono's husband (John Lennon, but we hope we don't need to tell you that) was a man who reminded the world that one of the most important things we can do as human beings is set aside our differences and learn to coexist; we're glad she's carrying on the family tradition as best she can.
Do you think artists are doing enough by performing benefit concerts, or should they find more direct ways to contribute?

Firefighter losing his job
May 15th, 2012 | Uncategorized
Q. I am a federal firefighter with 19 years in. I am shy of three months until I am eligible to retire with my 20 years. I have been told that I am not fit for duty because of some health issues and that I will not be able to retire in August as I had planned. I am being told that I will be let go and that I need to apply for disability. I had 13 years active duty as a firefighter (I already paid back my 13 years). I am also a 10-point veteran. I am trying to figure out what the difference is (if any) if I paid back my military time, and what my disability amount might be. I have tried for a reasonable accommodation and was denied.
A. If you qualify for disability retirement, the fact that you haven't made a deposit for your active-duty service would have no effect on your disability annuity. As a FERS employee, your annuity for the first 12 months would be 60 percent of your high-3 minus 100 percent of any Social Security disability benefit to which you are entitled. (You'd have to apply for Social Security disability benefits at the same time you file for disability retirement under FERS.) After the first 12 months and until age 62, your annuity would be 40 percent of your high-3 minus any Social Security disability benefit. Therefore, making a deposit for your active-duty service would only affect the amount of your annuity at two points in time: if you were determined to be recovered from your disability, or you reached age 62 and had your annuity recomputed. In either case, those years of active-duty service for which you made a deposit would be included in the computation.

Concerned Says:
May 15th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
I find this situation alarming, and would recommend that our veteran firefighter appeal this proposal/retain an attorney. With a disability retirement, he will (if I read the post correctly) after the first year, be losing 7 percent to which he would normally be entitled (20×1.7 plus 13 years military buyback=47%) and also lose the FERS supplement. Unconscionable for the agency to refuse to accomodate him for 90 more days. Request LWOP, etc, there must be other alternatives than to stand idly by while this horrible agency bullies this employee!! Are you covered by the union?

The Associated Press reports on efforts in California, where "a state online drug database went into effect last year to thwart addicts who bounce from doctor to doctor to feed a habit or make a small fortune peddling meds" and efforts to set up a national program "to snare so-called doctor shoppers and curb drug abuse. … Doctors can be hamstrung in making critical decisions about prescribing painkillers if they aren't able to find out if patients filled prescriptions elsewhere. ... More U.S. teens used prescription drugs over any other illicit drug except marijuana, the Office of National Drug Control Policy reported. Forty states have passed legislation to allow prescription drug monitoring programs, but only 34 are operating. Under the National All Schedules Prescription Electronic Reporting Act signed by President Bush in 2005, more than $50 million has been appropriated to states for programs where doctors and other authorized users, such as police in some cases, can access patient records. The law aims to have a coordinated national system, but there are no estimates what that would cost and a majority of the federal money hasn't been allocated."
"Some privacy groups are concerned databases could invade patients' privacy. Virginia's database was hacked into in April 2009 and millions of electronic records were stolen by a thief still at large" (Risling, 5/2).
