The quartzite on Slieve League splits into flagstones and was used for flooring or roof tiles. The mountain is noted for its spectacular array of cliffs descending straight from the summit to the sea, and for the dramatic One Man's Pass (Casán an Aonair). This narrow arete leading to the summit is not for the faint-hearted, especially on a windy day. All the same, it is a doddle beside the route taken in the 19th century by the botanist H.C. Hart, who traversed the cliffs of Slieve League at half-height, 1,000 ft. above the sea and 1,000 ft. below the summit. The entire journey, ending at Malin Beg, took him three days. At one point he was astonished to see footprints in front of him on this precipitous route. As he rounded the next eminence, he met an old man with his son, both eating samphire flowers. The old man was in a state of consternation to see a stranger there and pleaded with him to turn back, but Hart carried on. He reported that the route is known as Thone-na-Culliagh (prob. Tóin na Caillí). Robert Lloyd Praeger was very enthusiastic about the wide range of alpine plants on the north face above Lough Agh. There was a hermitage on Slieve League connected with St. Assicus of Elphin, Co. Roscommon. The ruins are the piles of stone still to be seen just NE of the One Man's Pass. Slieve League is the highest mountain in the Donegal SW area and the 285th highest in Ireland. Slieve League is the second most westerly summit in the Donegal SW area.

Picture from group : Slieve League cliffs from Bunglas upper car park
Slieve League cliffs from Bunglas upper car park
Pass if you dare
Short Summary created by mcrtchly 2 Dec 2010
Due to the popularity of the cliff walk to Slieve League there are problems of path erosion and the small capacity of the car park at Bunglas. These issues have been addressed by the building of a new lower car park and the request that walkers follow the route in a clockwise circuit from the lower car park and return via the Pilgrim's Path.
The recommended route to Slieve League starts at the lower car park at
. From here follow the road for 1.5km to the upper car park at
. In winter it might be possible to park here. The path from the upper car park leads along the top of the cliffs to Cnoc Ramhar. On the next section of the route there is a sharp 100m long rock arête at G5565 77553. Some writers have called this arete the One Man's Path. The arête can be climbed but should be treated with caution in wind or wet conditions. A rope would be advisable for the inexperienced as there is 450m drop on the left. Alternatively there is a by-pass along a path to the right. The final section of the route leads via a large plateau and then to a narrow section (known as One Man's Pass) to the summit of Slieve League.
Return via the same route as far as the plateau and take the Pilgrim's Path on your left at
. Follow the Pilgrim's Path as it descends towards the valley passing the ruins of St. Assicus's Oratory. After crossing a bridge over a river at
turn sharp right and then right again and follow the road back to the car park.

Just a quick comment to highlight a clip I found on YouTube depicting a 'first person' crossing of One Man's Path/Pass/That Exposed Rib At Kerringeer. I've always found that still photos didn't quite get across the true nature of the situation, and this does it admirably.

Picture from murphysw : The Arete which is generally regarded as the One Man's Pass
The Arete which is generally regarded as the One Man's Pass
murphysw on Slieve League, 2005
18 Jul 2005
On the Monday after I had climbed Lavagh More, I decided to tackle Sliabh League. The main reason for this was to experience the famous 'One Man's Pass' (more on this later!). The day was perfect for climbing, clear and not a breath in the air. I parked at Bunglass and started off. It has to be said at the outset that this is an exceptionally busy mountain. I started late in the day, and it was still as busy as the Great Sugar Loaf. It was also very walker damaged. Nonetheless, nothing can take away from the views, which are simply breathtaking. I also found it quite a slog, but then again i'm not the fittest, although the summit is quite a distance from Bunglass to be fair! The summit is unremarkable, simply an extension of the walk with a broken trig pillar. The main attractions are the Eagle's Nest and One Man's Pass. The Eagle's Nest is blatantly obvious and a spectacular sight but there seems to be a bit of ambiguity about One Man's Pass. One candidate is an arete about 300-400m long with very steep but not vertical drops on either side. Its marked by a path which has been gouged into it by wakers feet and is about 5 feet wide on average. I wouldn't try it on a windy day but its not very intimidating. The other candidate is a rib of solid rock which is situated on the ridge. I missed it on the way up because I stayed below the ridge but on the way down it presented me with the fright of my life! Its about 50 feet long and is no wider than a yard. I slid down it on my backside with my heart wedged firmly in my throat. I ran into a group of local hillwakers on the down who didn't seem to perturbed by it. Mike Harding in his 'Footloose in the West of Ireland' (London 1996) says about the pass, " A yard wide at its narrowest point and about forty foot long, I would like suckers on my feet before I crossed it on anything but the stillest day". So he seems to regard the narrow rib of rock as the pass. Joss Lynam in Best Irish Walks (Dublin 2001) notes that most maps regard the wide arete as the Pass but goes on to say that "a short rib of rock north of Crockrower can claim to be the truer 'One Man's Pass'". The O.S. on sheet 10 certainly gives the credit to the arete, as does David Herman in 'Hill Walkers Atlantic Ireland' (Dublin 1999) who calls the arete "a narrow level path with steep grassy slopes on both sides". The Lonely Planet guide to Walking in Ireland (Victoria 2003) says, "the pass is an arete about 1.5m wide, with steep but not vertiginous drops on either side. There is also a rocky knife edge on the way to the first summit from Bunglass, which could be described as a one man's pass". I would love to know which is actually regarded as the real One Man's Pass generally.

The approach to Slieve League is quite an experience before even start walking, the road twists and turns, with big unprotected drops down into the Atlantic below. The carpark (
) gives a fantastic vista of the steep high sea cliffs and the walk to come, with great views out over Donegal Bay.
There is a good path from the carpark and its informative information board, along stone steps and easy grass - this soon changes though and the track becomes quite heavily eroded through areas of peat and rock (a testament to the heavy traffic the hill no doubt attracts). There are breath taking views along the lenghth of the sea cliffs to Rathlin O Birne island. Soon come to a series of little jagged tops which contain the rib of rock already mentioned in other comments - I climbed up to its start but the steady breeze told me it was not a good idea to attempt and the easier track below won out. Ever higher vantage points have the hand reaching for the camera - be prepared for numerous stops to take pictures. After 1 hr 10 minutes i reached a large cairn and a level area at the summit. Continue along the cliff edge - looking back over the cliffs to the now distant carpark. There are cracking views to the Sligo Hills, along the Ox mtns to Nephin and then Corribinnia and Glencar in the Nephin Begs and to lands end at Belmullet. There are also good views N to the Derryveaghs and the Bluestacks.
There are a number of cairns as travel easily along the cliff top before drop down and cross One Mans Pass - the narrow ridge leading to the true summit area - not really anything too worry about unless the wind was howling. The summit area has a "sawn off" trig pillar and a couple of small cairns, with views over to Leahan Mtn (427 m), Rathlin O Birne island with its lighthouse and N to the signal tower and the jagged top of Sturral Head further around this magnificent coastline. The E breeze was whipping down the cliffs and creating spreading patterns on the ocean below - a solitary fishing boat the only other disturbance.
Return back along One Mans Pass to the first large cairn encountered on the climb, i noticed a perfect little igloo shelter built here. Take the E running spur above Lough Agh. there appears to have been some sort of competition here as i counted over 20 sizeable cairns. The going is very good on grass and small stones, with great views down over Lough Agh and across to the slopes which end abruptly at the huge sea cliffs. After reaching a cairn there is a drop down and a small rise to the top of Lergadaghtan Mtn (5
) - from here it is a steep drop down towards sheep pens and the Old Mans track. Follow the track to the road and turn L uphill, this joins the road to Bunglass, turn R and are back at the carpark after 50 minutes of road walking. Absolutely fantastic days walking and as was during the week there were only a few cars in the carpark. It is worthwhile heading down to the signal tower at

One Man's Pass or Casán an Aonair in Irish is the name given to the ridge about 400m long immediately west of the summit of Slieve League. Keeringear (na Círíní Géar, 'the sharp crests') is a series of pointed peaks further east. The difficult rib of rock mentioned by murphysw is part of Keeringear. Bear in mind that most topographical names in Ireland were given by farmers, not climbers. One Man's Pass may be easy for experienced mountaineers, but it is an unavoidable obstacle for anyone who wants to reach the summit from the east. The rib of rock on Keeringear, on the other hand, is much more challenging, but is easily skirted by keeping to the main path. It is therefore not a pass in any sense, but rather a rock-climbing challenge for those who want to push themselves. Such features didn't usually get local names unless their shape was particularly striking or there was some folklore associated with them.

How Government Spying Undermines Climate Action
27 November 2014 Andrew Kerr Greenpeace International
Unless you've been living in a hole in the ground or in a galaxy far, far away you won't have missed media revelations about government security services snooping on our every communication.
Personal phone calls and e-mails are among the data routinely scooped up and stored for possible later scrutiny. It makes a mockery of the notion of personal privacy.
As private citizens we express, or suppress, our outrage and get on with our day-to-day lives. We call, text and mail our nearest and dearest with our most intimate secrets. In the back of our minds we hope that "someone" is there to prevent the descent into an Orwellian dystopia. Or we ignore it and reckon it doesn't affect us.

Food and animal safety products company
Neogen Corp.
's (
) share price increased 2.1% to $60.97 on Sep 24, after reporting
promising first-quarter fiscal 2014 results.
Neogen's earnings rose 14.3% year over year to 32 cents per share
from 28 cents in the year-ago quarter. Earnings were in line with
the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Net income increased 16.8% to $7.8
million, a quarterly record for the company.
Revenues grew 17.7% to a record $58.5 million, beating the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of $56 million. Recent accretive acquisitions
and strategic international expansions led to strong revenue
growth in the reported quarter.
NEOG's gross margin decreased 140 basis points (bps) to 51.9% in
the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from 53.3% in the comparable
year-ago period, mainly due to a product mix shift toward lower
margin products and services. Sales and marketing along with
administrative expenses increased 11.4% to $15.7 million.
Research and development (R&D) expenses also grew 8.3% to
$2.1 million. However, operating margin increased 40 bps to 21.2%
from the year-ago level of 20.8%.
Quarter in Details
Neogen reports in two segments - Food Safety and Animal Safety.
Revenues from the Food Safety Division, representing 51.3% of
total revenues, climbed 14.5% to $30.0 million in the quarter.
Growth was led by solid revenue gains of 54% in Neogen's
Scotland-based Neogen Europe subsidiary on the back of higher
sales of test kits for mycotoxins, food allergens and meat
speciation. Strong sales of animal genomic testing services also
contributed to the growth.
Both Neogen do Brazil and Neogen Latino America had strong
quarters, with revenues increasing 54% and 34%, respectively.
Overall, Neogen's revenues from international markets constituted
42.3% of total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Revenues from NEOG's line of test kits for food allergens and
meat speciation continue to grow at a healthy pace on the back of
strong demand in the underlying market, increasing 30% in the
reported quarter. Revenues from natural toxin diagnostics grew
12%, based on higher demand for Neogen's quick Reveal Q+
quantitative tests for mycotoxins, including aflatoxin and
deoxynivalenol (DON).
The Animal Safety division revenues increased 21.7% to $28.6
million in the reported quarter, driven by the newly acquired
SyrVet veterinary instruments and supplies business, as well as
the earlier acquisition of Uniprim veterinary antibiotic. On an
organic basis, the segment grew 10%.
Revenues from animal care products, and durable and disposable
veterinary instruments jumped 33% and 35% year over year,
respectively. Neogen's GeneSeek subsidiary soared 28% in the
quarter, led by successful market adoption of a new genomic test
for the beef and dairy cattle markets.
Financial Condition
NEOG exited the quarter with cash and cash investments of $84.4
million, lower than $85.4 million as of May 31, 2012. The company
had no long-term debt at the end of the quarter.
Our Take
We are impressed with NEOG's ability to deliver record revenues
and net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The company
continues to expand its top line and product portfolio through
organic and inorganic means. Its recent acquisitions are in
tandem with its strategy to invest in products that can offer
global competitive advantage.
However, we are cognizant regarding potential
integration-related risks and stiff competition from other
players in the market. The stock has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Are You at Risk for Lung Cancer?
Mary Gaffney, RN and Nurse Navigator at the Chancellor Center for Oncology
According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.
An annual test for lung cancer intended for long-term smokers is now being recommended by major medical organizations, including the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Low-dose CT, offered by Deaconess Hospital, can help detect lung cancer at its earliest, most-treatable stages.
Low-dose CT is a lung cancer screening option available to higher-risk patients that utilizes much lower radiation than a typical CT scan—up to 70-90% less—and can find lung cancer in early, more-treatable stages.
To be eligible for the screening, you must have the following risk factors:
Be between the ages of 55-74
Have a 30 pack-year history or more (details below)
Be currently smoking or have smoked within the last 15 years
All three criteria must be met for this testing. Because the test does involve some radiation, the risk for lung cancer must be higher than the overall lifetime radiation risk. The "pack-year history" is determined by calculating how many packs of cigarettes per day have been smoked for what number of years. For example, if an individual started smoking at age 20, and smoked a pack a day until age 50, that would be 30 pack years. If that same person smoked 2 packs per day, 30 pack years would be reached by age 35.
If someone thinks they may be a good candidate for the test, getting started with the process is easy. The first step is to call the Nurse Navigator at Chancellor Center for Oncology at 812-858-2268. The test takes place at the Deaconess Hospital main campus at 600 Mary Street in Evansville, Indiana. The testing appointment will last less than 30 minutes.
The results are interpreted by a board certified radiologist, and are also presented to the Deaconess Multidisciplinary Lung Nodule Review Board where each patient's scan and history is individually reviewed. The patient is then called with results and recommendations, and both the patient and their primary care physician will receive copies of the results.
Many insurance companies currently pay for the screenings, and more are expected to do so soon. Staff at the Chancellor Center will work with individuals' insurance companies to determine coverage, and handle billing. If someone wants this test and is a good candidate, and their insurance doesn't cover the test, we will work with patients on affordable payment options. We want this life-saving service to be available to as many people as possible.

News : Ramdin suspended for two ODIs
News : Misbah questions Ramdin spirit
Players/Officials: Denesh Ramdin
Matches: Pakistan v West Indies at The Oval
Series/Tournaments: ICC Champions Trophy
Teams: West Indies
West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has been charged with breaching the ICC Code of Conduct for claiming a catch off Misbah-ul-Haq during the Champions Trophy match against Pakistan at The Oval. Ramdin has pleaded not guilty and will attend a hearing on Monday.
Ramdin was charged with breaching article 2.2.11 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to "conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game". The range of penalties for all first Level 2 breaches are fines of between 50-100% of a player's match fees and/or suspension for up to two ODIs.
The incident took place in the ninth over of the Pakistan innings, when Misbah bottom-edged a Kemar Roach delivery to Ramdin. The wicketkeeper initially appeared to have caught the ball but lost control of it as he fell forward, and it slipped out of his gloves on to the grass. Instead of bringing his mistake to the notice of the umpires or his team-mates, Ramdin returned the ball to the square-leg umpire and joined his team-mates in the celebratory huddle.
Square-leg umpire Nigel Llong, however, alerted the third umpire and the replay revealed the chance had been dropped. Misbah, who was on 0, was called back and went on to hit an unbeaten 96.
Misbah later said Ramdin's actions were not in the spirit of the game. "What can I say about that?" he said when asked about the catch. "I think he should have told them what happened, but I don't know what he was thinking at that time. I would not be very happy if my wicketkeeper did that.
"If we don't know anything, then it's fine, but if you know clearly that it's not a catch, you should not claim that because it's not in the spirit of the game."
West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo, however, defended Ramdin, saying the wicketkeeper did not act deliberately. "Unfortunately, he did not catch it," Bravo said. "He's a very honest player, and as I said, history shows if you check the records that we don't have any stigma or negatives around us as a team. We have been true in our cricket careers and history has shown that we play the game in true spirit of the way it should be played. I don't think we did something like this deliberately."
In June 2012, Ramdin was fined 20% of his match fee for a protest directed at Viv Richards during the third Test against England at Edgbaston. Ramdin was charged with conduct contrary to the spirit of the game and pleaded guilty to the offence.

In a world faced with an evolving array of challenges – economic, environmental, security, and social – the bar for building performance is continuing to rise. High performance buildings go beyond the basic requirements of codes and standards to significantly reduce energy consumption, increase use of renewables, have a minimal environmental impact in material use and site selection, enhance human comfort and safety, and improve occupant productivity.
High performance buildings also create the flexibility necessary for open-plan space and respond efficiently to inevitable changes within the building. High performance buildings achieve these performance objectives in a cost-effective manner throughout the lifetime of a facility.
According to Legrand, a provider of infrastructure solutions, a host of factors are driving a paradigm shift in performance expectations within the built environment. Key factors include:
The federal government formally defined high performance buildings in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, but in practice, it is building owners and managers and the design teams they commission who define and embody high performance on a day-to-day basis.
Visit our website today to learn about the design flexibility of a Morton building and the endless possibilities of partnering with our designBUILD team.

PGA Tour Sees Young Talent Step Up At Augusta, But Can They Fill Upcoming Void?
Published April 15, 2014
STILL DEPENDENT ON TIGER: Columnist Kevin Blackistone noted Sunday's final round of The Masters drew its lowest rating since '93 for a non-Easter weekend, and said with Woods' absence, the tournament "went back to being a golf tournament watched mostly by golfers and not by the rest of America." Blackistone: "They've got to find a way to rejuvenate The Masters, and I don't know if that personality is going to walk right through the door." The N.Y. Daily News' Frank Isola noted The Masters needs Woods, but ESPN's Bomani Jones said the PGA Tour "does not need Jordan Spieth or anybody else." Jones: "After Tiger Woods goes away, it's going to stick to being what they like it being -- the people who like it watch it and that's that" ("Around The Horn," ESPN, 4/14). ESPN's Dan Le Batard said fans "don't care at all" that Bubba Watson has now won two of the last three Masters, though he is a "charming story." Le Batard: "If Tiger had done the same thing -- two times in three years -- you know we all would have been watching. We wouldn't be complaining about no drama on the back nine. This is all about Tiger Woods, all of it, and this is even on a day where you had a contender who's 20-years-old" ("Highly Questionable," ESPN2, 4/14).

CHICAGO -- Indiana Pacers forward Peja Stojakovic said Tuesday that he'll probably opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent this summer.
"I have the option to do it, so that's something I'm probably going to do," he said before the game at Chicago.
Stojakovic, acquired from Sacramento for Ron Artest on Jan. 25, is scheduled to make $8.2 million next season. Pacers president Larry Bird said in January that the team wants to keep Stojakovic beyond this season. ...

I revealed recently that I sold off the rest of my stake in Intel Corporation (INTC) late last week after the company declared a seventh straight dividend at the same rate - $0.225 per share, quarterly. I rarely sell, as many of you long-time readers are aware, but a static dividend is a big red flag for me. After extremely careful consideration I felt compelled to move on to other companies with better opportunities for continued dividend growth by way of growing profits, ensuring me increased purchasing power going forward.
The great thing is that not only was I able to make up for the lost income from the Intel sale, but I actually increased my dividend income and gave myself a great chance at better dividend growth going forward.
I purchased 60 shares of Omega Healthcare Investors Inc. (OHI) on 1/24/13 for $32.02 per share.
Omega is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that provides financing and capital to the long-term healthcare industry, with a primary focus on skilled nursing facilities. Their properties are located in the U.S., and spread out across 33 states. As of September 30, 2013 they owned or held mortgages on 477 skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities and other specialty hospitals.
I was recently analyzing Omega and really liked what I saw. The growth over the last five years has been strong, and this REIT appears to be very committed to growing the dividend. Furthermore, the entry yield is very enticing at today's price.
From 2008-2012 revenue has grown at a compounded annual rate of 16%. Now, the company also issued a lot of shares during this time which helped propel this substantial growth. Looking at revenue growth per share, OHI was still able to deliver relatively strong growth with a CAGR of 7%.
When looking at a REIT's profitability you don't want to use earnings because REITs have large depreciation costs. Instead, it makes more sense to use FFO (funds from operations), which adds back in depreciation and amortization expenses. And FFO growth over the last five years has been rather robust, with a CAGR of just over 12%.
But what about the dividends? Show me the money, right? As a dividend growth investor it is imperative for me to invest in a company that takes its business relationship with the part-owners (us shareholders) seriously, and so how can management show that it takes this relationship more seriously than handing out more cash every single year as the profits in the underlying company continues to grow?
Well, Omega has been able to grow its dividend for the last 11 years straight. It's 10-year dividend growth rate is over 28%, and the 5-year DGR is just over 9%. These are very solid numbers here, especially considering that OHI currently has a yield of 6.1%. Furthermore, Omega has built up a fairly consistent record of increasing the dividend every quarter or every two quarters over the last few years. Most recently, the company announced a dividend increase to $0.49 quarterly per share, an increase of $0.01, or 2.1%, over the old quarterly dividend of $0.48 per share. And this was after the company increased dividends the last five quarters! A yield of over 6% backed by solid mid-single-digit growth is something I can get very excited about.
Furthermore, the dividend is well covered here by Omega. The company currently has a payout ratio of 80% using TTM FFO, which is healthy for a REIT. This means that there is a reasonable chance for further solid dividend growth from Omega going forward.
Another thing I like about OHI is that it's a rather small company, with a total market cap of just under $4 billion. Most of my holdings are with fairly large blue-chip companies, and this provides me some exposure to a faster growing, mid-cap company.
The balance sheet looks fair, with just over $3 billion in assets against just over $1.8 billion in liabilities. The debt/equity ratio is currently at 1.4, and the interest coverage ratio is over 2. I don't see anything to be concerned about here, as it is leveraged appropriately when comparing to other REITs in this space.
Overall, I really like Omega. The company has a track record of solid growth, and has shown a willingness to share that growth with shareholders in the form of rising dividends. Moreover, the aging population we have here in the U.S. bodes well for this healthcare REIT. According to the Administration on Aging, the population of persons aged 65 or older will be about 72.1 million - more than twice the number in 2000. While being over 65 years old does not necessarily mean one needs the assistance of a skilled nursing facility, the general trend towards an increasing elderly population simply means there is a greater pool of potential clients from which OHI can draw from. In addition, I like the fact that OHI focuses on the financial side of owning these properties or providing financing, while allowing third parties to provide the day to day care and operations. This means OHI can focus on what they specialize in.
Omega has been very active in issuing new shares and using this capital to fund new properties. In 2012, they closed over$500 million in new investments consisting of: 39 skilled nursing facilities, 6 assisted living facilities and 6 independent living facilities. The company continues to aggressively add to its portfolio in a manner that is most profitable for shareholders.
There are risks with this REIT. Clients that use the services of Omega are obviously dependent on income from Medicare. Any cuts in Medicare could impact Omega's clients, and therefore Omega. Medicare is typically hard to target as far as budget cuts, and I feel that any risks there are outweighed by the growth in the population segment that OHI targets. Another potential risk is that Omega is not particularly diversified in other industries, but that's why I like to own REITs in other industries like retail, office space and technology.
I valued shares using my typical Dividend Discount Model analysis. I used a 10% discount rate (my required rate of return) and a 6% long-term growth rate - well below what OHI has managed to deliver thus far. This gave me a fair value on shares of$51.94. I think it's reasonable to assume that a 10%+ margin of safety exists in shares at today's price. OHI currently trades at a P/FFO ratio of 13, using TTM FFO, which is fairly attractive, in my view.
This purchase adds $117.60 to my annual dividend income total based on the current quarterly payout of $0.49 per share. I purchased shares just before the ex-dividend date, so I will receive the February dividend. In addition, this dividend income more than makes up for the income I lost by way of the Intel sale. This purchase did not use up all of the proceeds from the sale of INTC shares, and I'll be discussing what I did with the rest in the coming days.
My portfolio currently holds 43 positions. Although I closed out my position with INTC, reducing the portfolio to 42 investments, OHI was a new position for me and brought the portfolio back up to 43 holdings.
I usually like to include valuation comparisons from analysts with Morningstar and S&P Capital IQ, but neither firm tracks OHI.
I'll update my Freedom Fund in early February to reflect my recent addition.

Why did I purchase shares of Omega Healthcare Investors (OHI)
I revealed recently that I sold off the rest of my stake in Intel Corporation (INTC) late last week after the company declared a seventh straight dividend at the same rate - $0.225 per share, quarterly. I rarely sell, as many of you long-time readers are aware, but a static dividend is a big red flag for me. After extremely careful consideration I felt compelled to move on to other companies with better opportunities for continued dividend growth by way of growing profits, ensuring me increased purchasing power going forward.

Will/are you encouraging your child(ren) into practical or academic pursuits in college?
Do you think your working status has made an impact on your decision?
I am 37 years old and in my first year in college and I am still feeling out my major. At a recent dinner party, I was introduced to a student that attends the same community college that I do. When I told her that I was considering transferring to the state university to pursue a degree in sociology, she nearly spit her drink out of her nose in laughter and told me that it would be completely worthless. She's getting an associate's degree in social work and already knows the wage and benefit package to work as an eligibility specialist at the Department of Human Services. She's going to make $18 an hour and have $7 copays on her comprehensive medical plan.
Aside from her bluntless, I keep having this same conversation with other students no matter their age; they are highly specific in their college plans and know how much they'll make when they finish, and it blows their mind that I really don't a plan. I understand that student debt is an issue, which is exactly why I am going to a community college to knock out the basics and a handful of core credits. I am scheduled for an academic advising appointment next week and I wonder if each degree comes with a sheet selling each student on return of investment for their time and student loan dollars? This attitude is so persistant that I'm considering making an application for the dental hygiene program instead (which I have an interest in), and only return to school once I am settled in a lucrative and flexible position to study what I want.

An AA degree in what? I thought only vocational AA degrees, like lab assistant or daycare worker could get you an actual job.
|Mon, 10-31-2011 - 4:53pm
Education is not about being highly employable. Also no bachelor in the humanities, all on its own, will make you highly employable, so you are basically saying that all humanities bachelors are out for your kids, which then makes the well-rounded thing a little tricky.

County Attorney Heed announces resignation
KEENE - Less than two months after being re-elected as Cheshire County Attorney, Peter Heed has announced he is retiring from public office to work for a private firm.
Heed, 62, plans to join Abramson, Brown and Dugan, a private Manchester law practice known for representing plaintiffs' in medical malpractice cases.
"It's pretty exciting. It's going to be a change for me," Heed said.
Heed, who lives with his wife in Westmoreland, which is just outside of Keene, said the plan is for the law firm to establish a Keene office that Heed would run.
"They are a highly regarded plaintiff litigation firm that focuses primarily on medical malpractice and other serious cases," Heed said. "They're terrific attorneys. It will be an honor to be associated with them and work on a new office over here."
Heed told the Cheshire County delegation about his retirement in a letter Friday.
"We were counting on him being sworn in on the second of January. Mainly it's a big surprise," said John Pratt, chairman of the Cheshire County Commission.
According to a new state law enacted in 2011, the county delegation is charged with hiring Heed's replacement. In the past, a county attorney who left before his or her term was up would have been replaced by a candidate chosen by the state court, Pratt said.
"The commissioner's point of view is he's been a very good county attorney, and we're going to miss him," Pratt said.
Heed said he didn't plan to retire from public office this soon, but when the opportunity came up he wanted to take it.
"I'm able to retire at this point from public service. It's meant a huge amount to me to be a prosecutor and county attorney," Heed said. "It's been wonderful, and I've really enjoyed it."
Heed started his career in homicide prosecution for the N.H. Attorney General's Office in the 1970s. In 1980, he moved to the Keene area to enter private practice. After almost 20 years in the private sector, Heed ran for Cheshire County Attorney in 1999 and won. He served from 2000 to 2003, when he became N.H. attorney general. Heed resigned as attorney general in 2004 and has served as Cheshire County Attorney since 2006.
Pratt said the county delegation plans to advertise for the position and go through a hiring process to fill the position.

Dr. Whitney Rapp Presents "The Desegregation of Our Schools: What We've Done and What We've Left Undone" for First Friday Lecture
Dr. Whitney Rapp, Associate Professor of Special Education in the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. School of Education at St. John Fisher College, will present on Friday, December 4, as part of the College's First Friday Faculty Lecture Series. Her lecture, "The Desegregation of Our Schools: What We've Done and What We've Left Undone," begins at 10 a.m. in Basil 135 on the Fisher campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Dr. Rapp's presentation will discuss how the legal mandates throughout the history of education have moved schools away from segregation and toward inclusion. Through landmark court cases and federal legislation, we have witnessed the impact of the letter of the law on desegregation by race and ability. However, the full impact of the spirit of the law has yet to be seen. In the context of the disability rights movement, Dr. Rapp's lecture covers the history of special education, where we are now in terms of an inclusive society, and where we need to go from here.
Dr. Rapp received her Ph.D. in special education from Michigan State University and has since focused her research on differentiation of instruction and alternative service delivery models for all learners, primarily those with "invisible" neurologically-based disorders. As a parent of three children, one of whom is classified with a disability, Dr. Rapp brings both professional and personal perspectives to her work in preparing future teachers.
The First Friday Faculty Lecture Series takes place on the first Fridays of October through December during the fall semester and February through April in the spring semester.
