Nomination Process for Faculty Awards
The Vice President for Academic Affairs will call for nominations from faculty, staff, and former and current students at DSU. Nominations of full-time faculty will be submitted to the VPAA's office in hard copy or electronically. Nominations must be submitted on nomination forms. Please complete the appropriate nomination form; and specifically address each of the award criteria. Do not attach a nominee's C.V.
Because these are annual awards and are not intended as "lifetime achievement" awards, nomination documentation should focus on recent contributions of the nominee (past 3-5 years) and offer specific supportive information to address the criteria outlined for each award. A faculty member may be recognized in a category once during a five-year period. A faculty member can be recognized in a different category within that same five-year period. (i.e., - Faculty A is recognized for Excellence in Teaching in 2010 and for Excellence in Service in 2012.)
Note: If no nominations are submitted in a specific category, the President may choose to select a faculty member to receive the award.
Awards Selection Committee: The committee will consist of two members chosen from each of the three colleges and one member from the library. Each year one member will be selected as chair. To ensure continuity of policies and procedures, members will serve two-year overlapping terms.
If any member of the committee is nominated for an award, a replacement to the committee will be selected from the respective college or the library. If a member of the committee is a member of a nominee's immediate family (spouse, sibling, parent, or child), a replacement to the committee will be selected from the respective college or the library.
Timeline: Nominations will be solicited approximately three months prior to the scheduled donor recognition banquet. Final selection will be made three weeks prior to the event.
A list of previous nominees to be carried forward for consideration in the current year, as welll as the list of previous winnners, will be provided to the deans for informational purposes at the same time nominations are opened.
Procedures: Nominees who meet these minimum qualifications will be forwarded to the committee for review—
- Nominees from the previous year who were not award winners
- New nominees for whom completed nominations have been received
- Because these awards are to showcase excellence, each nominee must have received a performance evaluation of "2-exceeds expectations" or higher in the nomination category in each of the last three years when rankings are available. This information will be verified by the VPAA office for each nominee.
The nomination forms for qualified nominees will be distributed to the committee members prior to the first meeting. After discussion of candidates, a recommended awardee in each category will be determined by a secret ballot and forwarded to the President for final approval. The committee may provide and/or solicit clarifications on supportive information, but the nomination forms will be the primary source of information. If a final decision cannot be reached in a category, the full list of nominees in that category will be submitted to the President for a final decision.
The President may solicit additional information on the finalists from the VPAA or deans. The President, or his designee, will communicate back to the committee when the final selection has been made. If the President does not support the committee recommendations, he/she will provide further direction/information to the committee.
The nominees not recommended for the award will be included in the file of nominees for the following year before being eliminated for consideration.

Week in review at NAIAS 2013
Updated On: Jan 20 2013 08:18:59 PM EST
From last Sunday's reveal of the Chevy Corvette Stingray to opening day on Saturday, there was plenty to see and experience at this year's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
NAIAS 2013 officially kicked off Monday with a number of new concepts unveiled to the press. The world was introduced to 59 vehicles this past week, including the Lincoln MKC, Acura NSX and Hyundai Genesis concepts.
PHOTOS: Concept vehicles at NAIAS
On Wednesday, automotive professionals gathered in Detroit to take a look not only at the vehicles, but also the engineering and parts that put each vehicle together.
Friday evening was the Auto Show Charity Preview, in which nearly $4 million was raised for nine children's charities from the 13,069 people who attended the gala event, according to NAIAS.
MORE: Nearly $4 million raised at Auto Show Charity Preview
NAIAS officially opened to the public Saturday, with more than 100,000 people attending. Some of the vehicles that seemed to grab the most amount of attention this weekend were the new Chevy Corvette Stingray, the Ford Atlas concept and Tesla Model S.
Besides seeing the latest cars, attendees were able to test their skills in a number of exhibits, including the Toyota "Drive Land" motion-controlled game, texting in answers to Ford questions, and even dancing with the Kia hamsters.
PHOTOS: What to do, experience at 2013 NAIAS
With a week to go for the 2013 North American International Auto Show, there is still plenty to see. If you plan on heading out sometime this week or next weekend, be sure to download the official NAIAS app to your iOS or Android phone.

Former Princess Srirasmi Suwadee became a commoner last weekend as part of her divorce from the heir to the Thai throne. For more minor royals, a title that once offered social capital and access is being edged out by the glamour and power of a monied elite.
What's in a title? In the ranks of Thailand's royal family, one of the last still standing in Asia, the answer is everything – and nothing.

Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear itBible
Being a child at home alone in the summer is a high-risk occupation. If you call your mother at work thirteen times an hour, she can hurt you.Erma Bombeck
Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness. It's a lot easier to be angry at someone than it is to tell them you're hurt.Tom Gates
Of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anybody's feelings?Diogenes
Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, Chief nourisher in life's feast.William Shakespeare
Those have most power to hurt us, that we loveUnknown
Girls are like apples...the best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when, in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree...Unknown
The truth that many people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt.Thomas Merton
Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love.Leo Buscaglia
An honest man is hurt by praise unjustly bestowedFrench Proverb
I've always said that in politics, your enemies can't hurt you, but your friends will kill you.Ann Richards
America has made no reparation to the Vietnamese, nothing. We are the richest people in the world and they are among the poorest. We savaged them, though they had never hurt us, and we cannot find it in our hearts, our honor, to give them help--because the government of Vietnam is Communist. And perhaps because they won.Martha Gellhorn
Since I won't let the critics seal my fate, they keep hollering I'm full of hate. But they don't really hurt me none, 'cause I'm doing good and having fun.Muhammad Ali
The dominion of bad men is hurtful chiefly to themselves who rule, for they destroy their own souls by greater license in wickedness; while those who are put under them in service are not hurt except by their own iniquity. For to the just all the evils imposed on them by unjust rulers are not the punishment of crime, but the test of virtue. Therefore the good man, although he is a slave, is free; but the bad man, even if he reigns, is a slave, and that not of one man, but, what is far more grievous, of as many masters as he has vices; of which vices when the divine Scripture treats, it says, For of whom any man is overcome, to the same he is also the bond-slave.St. Augustine of Hippo
And again, don't misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life, and sexual identity disorders. This is a very real issue. It's not funny, it's sad. Any of you who have members of your family that are in the lifestyle we have a member of our family that is. This is not funny. It's a very sad life. It's part of Satan, I think, to say this is "gay". It's anything but gay. It's profoundly sad to recognize that almost all, if not all, individuals who have gone into the lifestyle have been abused at one time in their life, either by a male or by a female. There's been profound hurt and profound things that have happened in almost all of their lives.Michele Bachmann
But it was drama, high drama: fires at night, the fires that burned people's houses away; bombs fell and left exotically shaped fragments in the form of shrapnel. And we collected it and traded it. As long as we were not hurt -- and I wasn't -- life seemed wonderful.Tom Baker
For there's a lot of masochism in the acting profession. We're willing to take a lot of punishment, but the minute we hit a little bit of success we are liable to run from it. We're frightened of it and develop all kinds of phobias as a consequence. Outsiders who don't understand think we have a chip on our shoulder, but it's not that at all. We're so used to failure, to being hurt and rebuffed, that we can easily come unhinged by success.Lucille Dsire Ball
There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic. A man's own observation, what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of, is the best physic to preserve health.Francis Bacon
I'm a critic. I think the administration has really undermined America's power and reputation and that Iraq may go down in history as the greatest disaster in American foreign policy, which means that I think it's worse than Vietnam in its unintended consequences and for our reputation. This president, because his administration is imposing democracy, which is an oxymoron, has, I think, hurt the concept. It is not just that the administration has been unilateral but that it has been unidimensional. It has paid attention primarily to one part of the world, without enough attention being paid to other parts.Albright, Madeleine
Weep bitterly over the dead, for he is worthy, and then comfort thyself; drive heaviness away: thou shall not do him good, but hurt thyself.Matthew Arnold
Shaw's emotional development was one with his intellectual strength. His path led him into the thick of the scrimmage, where more spontaneous natures defend themselves with the usual weapons of malice, humility, bad temper or conceit. But Shaw used the death ray of imperturbability. His feelings were never hurt, his envy never aroused, his conceit was a transparent fiction, he never quarreled.Jacques Barzun
I went fasting, as is the law. My body hurt but not my heart. When the dawn came, I was out of sight of the village. I prayed and purified myself, waiting for a sign. The sign was an eagle. It flew east. Sometimes signs are sent by bad spirits. I waited again on the flat rock, fasting, taking no food. I was very still I could feel the sky above me and the earth beneath. I waited till the sun was beginning to sink. Then three deer passed in the valley going east they did not mind me or see me. There was a white fawn with them a very great sign.Stephen Vincent Bent

We spent 1 night at Baguio, while we were on our way to Banaue, we slept at hotel Veniz. I wouldn't want to stay there longer than 1 day (only for a stopover). It really stank there and the city had not much to offer.
Baguio was a great city, because it had all facilities like Manila; it's called the cleanest and greenest town of the Philippines. I'm building a house there and I recommend everyone to visit the city if you're in the neighbourhood. The people were very c

Problem Framing
A first step in problem solving involves the "framing" of the problem.
Framing simply means that the school must come to an agreement on the nature of the problem. For example, if a school uncovers evidence that achievement growth stalls for minority students as they proceed through the grades, how shall such a problem be interpreted? What is the "theory" of the problem? Does the school invoke inadequate parent support? Is the "safety net" of second and third chance learning opportunities insufficient? Is there a cultural fit between the curriculum and certain students? Are there deficiencies in the instruction teachers are providing? Are resources to support student learning adequate? Critical to the problem solving process is the conduct of inquiry and deliberation in response to problems, in which various "theories" may be considered and tested, even including the gathering of additional information that might inform decisions.
Problem framing is important to ensuring that a range of options are considered. It does not, in itself, lead directly to proposals for action. Once the options are narrowed, and interrelationships between the frames are identified, the frames provide context for developing specific improvement strategies.
There are many ways to frame problems. An approach that directly engages alternative policies and practices assumes that school improvement occurs against a backdrop of a number of broad beliefs about the reasons why many schools are not more effective. Taken together, these possible explanations illustrate the kinds of starting points that school communities may consider as they confront discrepancies between their goals for students and evidence of student learning. Two of these frames have already been introduced when preconditions for problems solving were identified—the extent to which schools are capable of collaborative problem solving and whether they are places characterized by caring and civility. Without these conditions, existing programs and practices are likely to less effective than they could be. Others include:
- Alignment of Instructional Guidance
- Coherence and Focus
- Instructional Effectiveness
- Cognitive Demand
- Resource Adequacy and Mobilization

One account of the fundamental problems confronting schools reckons that many schools lack a system of instructional guidance that aligns standards for learning, curriculum content, assessment, instructional practice, second chance learning (e.g., summer and after school programs), teacher learning opportunities, and performance sanctions and incentives. Technical aspects of improvement seek to establish better coordination among these factors. To learn more, CLICK HERE [Link 5c]
Coherence and Focus
A second, related account emphasizes not only technical alignment but programmatic coherence and a tight focus on just those programs and initiatives that advance core mission and priority goals. This account reckons that many schools have adopted too many disparate initiatives that fail to "hang together" in support of the basic academic mission, necessitating choices not only about what will be emphasized but also about what will be de-emphasized. In this account, reform occurs not only by addition but also by subtraction or reduction, as the school focuses, relentlessly in some cases, on its primary priorities in ways that are consistent across grades and subjects.

Instructional Effectiveness
Teaching is the core technology of schools. Teacher expertise affects the impact of virtually every other improvement strategy. Step 6 of the KEYS-CSI process deals extensively with professional development strategies. Here the question is whether improving teacher expertise, in itself, absent any other changes in programs or practices, would significantly improve student achievement. As we note in Step 6, almost any new initiative would need to involve professional development.
Instructional effectiveness can be thought of as having two basic aspects. The first is the ability to teach the curriculum, i.e., content pedagogy. The second, which may not get as much attention, is the ability to relate to students in ways that engage them in learning. See resources related to developing a caring and civil school community earlier in this step to learn more about the second aspect of teaching.
These two aspects of teaching are related and reinforcing. Hence, the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future talks about "competent and caring" teachers as the foundation of school effectiveness.

Cognitive Demand
A fourth general explanation for student learning has to do with the delivered curriculum. What students are taught obviously influences the opportunities they have to learn and these opportunities may differ substantially in their content and rigor. The curriculum itself may ask too little of students. Or, even when the curriculum is rigorous, teacher expectations for student performance may be too low. For example, the low performance of students in lower achieving groups within schools or inside classrooms is often associated with low "cognitive demand." In particular, tracking and inflexible "ability" grouping of students typically creates unequal access to opportunities to learn. To learn more, CLICK HERE. [Link 5f]
Resource Adequacy and Mobilization
A fifth account draws attention to the adequacy and allocation of resources of various kinds. According to this perspective, resource inadequacies and inequities often plague low-performing schools. Among school resources that enjoy a reliable relationship with outcomes are small class sizes in early grades and, especially, as noted above, caring and highly competent teachers. Time for learning is another such resource, harking back to an earlier generation of research that emphasized the importance of "engaged time" and "time on task." Issues of resource availability, allocation, and use draw attention to how school leadership effectively mobilizes as well as acquires resources of various kinds. To learn more, CLICK HERE. [Link 5g]
Social Capital
Finally, many have argued that the influences on students' learning in families and communities are so powerful that improvements within schools are inevitably limited in their effects. This account asserts that what is needed are more effective social policies—including those affecting housing, health, income maintenance and social disorganization. For their part, schools need to build partnerships with families and community organizations that reflect a holistic approach to the facilitation of student learning. To learn more, CLICK HERE [Link 5h]
Considering Alternative Explanations
Such a multi-faceted consideration of the challenges facing improvement is daunting, but these accounts help to "frame" the range of possibilities that schools may examine. Any given school often finds that it needs to address more than one of these possible explanations for student under-performance. Notice also that some such problems can pose serious threats to the social relationships in the school, because the discipline of evidence-based continuous improvement opens teaching to public scrutiny, and this surely represents a threat should teachers and valued programs not be producing expected results.
In consequence, the process of problem framing must be direct, fearless, and deliberate. Schools might naturally gravitate to external explanations that avoid the hard questions. Typical examples include lack of parental support, inadequate resources, and stifling regulations; but these are at best partial explanations. Schools must look directly to curriculum and instruction for both problems and solutions. The task of inquiry is to determine what factors in this practice might be impeding learning, then to consider what might be done in response. Such possibilities might trace to the instruction that is provided by some or all of the teachers; cultural aspects of the school, including how well adults work with each other and with students; structural aspects of the school, including how various special programs are integrated with the regular program; personnel issues including the stability of students and staff; or aspects of parental and community relationships.
Focusing on the Needs of Underperforming Students
The "gap analysis" undertaken in Step 4 will likely draw attention to underperformance by students who are placed at risk by reason of their socioeconomic condition, family and community disorganization, language facility, or disability. Many of these students will be students of color whose learning is challenged by discrimination and stereotyping they experience in and out of school. Most of the ways schools can address the needs of underperforming students are, of course, encompassed by the frames above. However, it seems useful to organize resources for improvement in a separate cross-cutting category of improvement initiatives. Much of the literature on school improvement, especially, that literature that emphasizes classroom-level strategies, cover more than one of the frames for problem identification discussed above.

Knights Fall to Saints 9-0
NEW ULM, Minn. - The MLC men's soccer team fell behind in the second minute of play to St. Scholastica and could never get things going in the right direction in a 9-0 loss to the Saints Saturday.
The Saints scored six first half goals off MLC goalkeeper Ben Zietlow. Kyle Farrar scored three times in the half, and finished the game with four goals.
CSS scored three more times in the second half, with Rob Johnson scoring two of his three after the break.
MLC was outshot 36-12 in the game, with John Paustian leading the team with three shots.
With the loss, MLC dropped to 4-13 on the season and 2-9 in league play, while St. Scholastica improved to 13-3-1 overall and 9-0-1 in the UMAC.
The Knights will return to action on Wednesday, October 26, when they travel to UM-Morris.

Sasha: The escalating need for "more"
Dear Sasha,
I'm a 21-year-old female and regularly masturbated to porn as a teen. Now I am bored with a lot of it and find I need more shock value to get aroused.
I'm concerned about this, because for the first time I watched bestiality. I think it is wrong, and I would never consider doing it, but I watched it nonetheless because it had that sexual "shock value." Is there something wrong with me? Is this common, and what can I do?
Sasha: Friends with benefits
Dear Sasha,
I have a very close friend whom I love dearly. (Though I'm not going into that mess. My loving her is not the issue.) I've known for years that this fantastic woman has a hard time reaching orgasm. In the last year we have had two sexual encounters, during the last of which I discovered that not reaching orgasm can be just as painful for women as it is for men. To me this will not do.
So early this week I started looking into reasons why some women have difficulty reaching climax. (I've been discussing it with her as well.)
Sasha: Easy does it
Dear Sasha,
My boyfriend and I have been together for about a year and a half. We're totally in love, committed to each other, have an open and fluent line of communication and plan to spend the rest of our lives together.
I'm bisexual and would love to share that side of me, and another woman, with my boyfriend.
In the beginning of our relationship it was such a turn-on for me to hear stories about him with past lovers and his attraction to other women, but now that our relationship has gotten more serious, I've become possessive and jealous when he expresses this attraction. It now puts a knot in my stomach.
Sasha: STD fears and unionizing strip clubs
Dear Sasha,
I am 40, have been divorced for a few years and, apart from a LDR with a boy who is 25 that ended a year ago, have been very skittish about entering the dating world. I have zero interest in having a serious boyfriend, but as soon as I start thinking about one-night stands or FWB, all I can think about is how guys are walking disease factories who can't be trusted to tell the truth about being disease-free, and I chicken out of trying to mack on anyone.
As a result, I've had zero action for a year and a half.
Sasha: Period sex, threesome partners and Euro-friendly vibrators
Dear Sasha,
I'm in a long-distance relationship and only get to see my boyfriend every few months. The next time we see each other is right bang (pardon the pun) in the middle of my period!
I'm in a profession that doesn't allow me to schedule my own holidays, so I can't choose another date. Same thing happened last time we saw each other, and I would prefer to have a little less technicolour action this time. I know you like the Diva Cup, but the website says it shouldn't be used during intercourse. Is there an alternative (other than a diaphragm) that I could use while having crazy, making-up-for-lost-time sex?
Can't Think of a Name
Sasha: The burden of carnal knowledge
Dear Sasha,
My mother has been in a relationship with a man for over 10 years.
They met in the late 90s on ICQ (if you remember that early social networking application). She had just come out of a really bad and messy divorce from my father, and this man had come out of a divorce as well.
Mum and this man live together. They're common-law, in each other's wills, they share bank accounts. His kids and I are all grouped together as one family now. He makes her happy in a way that she never was with my father. And if she's happy, I'm happy.
Sasha: Female arousal and pony play
Dear Sasha,
I am a 34-year-old queer woman. I was delighted to find that in my early 30s my orgasms became more intense and deeper, without my doing anything different. Lately, however, I seem to be having the opposite problem. Both with lovers and through masturbation, my orgasms have all the physical patterns I'm used to, with none of the climactic pleasure. So there is a mounting of intensity, a plateau and vaginal contractions, and no rush of bliss. Nothing in my emotional life is all that different, though of course I do have ebbs and flows of stress like everyone else. It also doesn't happen every time I come. What do you think could be causing this change?
Bliss Less
Sasha: Sex, video games and the G20 mess
Dear Sasha,
The hunt for a woman has been terrible for the past year, so I'm thinking of using the services of a sex worker for the first time to ease that natural instinct of mine. Is it okay to be selfish when it comes to dealing with a prostitute?
Let me explain myself. I am a gamer. I play a lot of video games. I never asked my ex to blow me while I play because I thought it would be disrespectful and selfish. Can I ask a prostitute to blow me or ride my cock while I play a video game, or will it interfere with her work? It's been my fantasy for a while now. The idea of being a "war hero" and getting rewarded for it at the same time turns me on.
Horny Gamer
Sasha: Masturbation guilt, sex over 60 and indecency
Dear Sasha,
I am a young woman addicted to masturbation since late childhood.
I sometimes masturbate out of real horniness (good), but the strong urges I feel between my legs are always related to feelings of guilt and stress (very, very bad). It's quite different from actual horniness, and often I won't even think about sex but about plans for the future or whatever is stressing me.
There's no correlation between my real sex life and this. My main concerns are that a) it's very time-consuming when I'm most pressed for time, and b) I might get caught and freak someone out. (I'm so ashamed.)

Bears hold off Detroit but get no help from Packers
BY ADAM L. JAHNS Sun-Times Media December 30, 2012 11:42PM

Updated: December 31, 2012 12:37PM
DETROIT — The Bears couldn't take their eyes off the TV. They watched it while getting dressed. They watched it while eating pizza. They watched it while talking to the media. They watched it while on the plane.
They watched and hoped for the Green Bay Packers — of all teams — to win. Their fate was out of their control, and they needed their hated rivals to beat the Minnesota Vikings to make the playoffs.
But in the end, they watched themselves get eliminated on a field goal by Vikings kicker Blair Walsh.
The Bears barely did their part, holding off the Detroit Lions 26-24 on Sunday at Ford Field. But the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers couldn't do enough to hold off the surging Vikings and running back Adrian Peterson in a 37-34 loss at the Metrodome.
The Bears finish 2012 with a 10-6 record. That's typically a solid season and worthy of a playoff berth, but it's deceiving. The Bears lost five of their final eight games after a 7-1 start.
"We got off to a fast start, but we also put ourselves in this situation to [need] help from another team," cornerback Tim Jennings said.
The Bears' skid has led to speculation about coach Lovie Smith's future. He has one year left on his contract, but like the Bears' season, Smith's era might be over if general manager Phil Emery decides so. Considering the Bears have made the playoffs once since 2007, changes seem inevitable.
In some ways, the Bears' victory Sunday was a microcosm of their season. They started fast, began falling apart, then did just enough to keep hope alive.
The Bears took a 20-3 lead thanks to takeaways, an opportunistic offense and numerous Lions blunders. But after Matthew Stafford capped three 80-yard scoring drives with touchdown passes, the Lions trailed by two with 6:55 left in the game. The Lions took possession once more but punted. The Bears held the ball the rest of the game.
Jay Cutler finished 18-for-31 for 257 yards and a touchdown. He also had a crucial 19-yard scramble on a late third down. Brandon Marshall had five catches for 42 yards, but Earl Bennett (five catches, 109 yards, touchdown) and Alshon Jeffery (four catches, 76 yards) produced. Matt Forte ran for 103 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts.
Despite the production, Olindo Mare was called on five times as the offense continued to stall. He made field goals from 33, 40, 28 and 20 yards and missed from 43.
Jennings had his ninth interception, and Israel Idonije had a sack and a forced fumble to pace the defense.
"We couldn't worry about what was going on in the game after us," Bennett said. "We just knew we had to come here and get a win to have a chance."
But the Bears were worried afterward. Some didn't want to talk about a possible Vikings victory. Some seemed convinced the Packers would prevail. Defensive tackle Henry Melton said it would be "really hard" if the Bears didn't advance.
"I feel we're definitely a Super Bowl-caliber team," he said. "And for us not to get in is going to be heart-breaking."
Then it happened.

Back in the day a shopkeeper might hire a barker to loudly tease the goods found inside a store. That changed with technology, with loudspeakers urging you to stop and look in. With today's technology, the practice of capturing a customer's attention is subtler — so much so a person isn't necessarily distracted by the sound or even realize if they are prompted to move inside by it.

Regular recurring expenses question??
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 07-11-2014 - 11:18am
Just feel I need to get an opinion ... do you all out there feel that asking a spouse before paying a regular occuring monthly bill is necessary. Key word, a regular occuring monthly expense. My husband and I (28 years now, although recently not sure if they are entirely happy years - minus my kids of course ...) have hit a rough spot and for the last few years, something has changed, so paying regular monthly expenses seems to have fallen on my income, if I happen to pay a bill without asking first, I get the silent treatment (his coping mechanism I guess, rather than temper rants). I don't know if I have finally just opened my eyes and seen the light or ?. I needs your opinions please.
|Fri, 07-11-2014 - 12:05pm
No, I don't understand why you would need to ask him every month.
How do you handle the money? We deposit both of our paychecks into a joint account so its not his money or my money. Early in our marriage we had separate accounts and each contributed half to the joint expenses and paid our personal expenses separately but after a few years we started pooling the money. We never "kept score" of contributed more.
Why does he get upset if you don't ask him first? Does he want to be in charge of the bill paying? Does he not trust you to manage the money or does he have control issues? Without understand your method for handling money and making financial decisions its hard to answer your question.
|Fri, 07-11-2014 - 1:43pm
Yea, that is odd.
He is wanting you to talk to him first before paying a normal monthly bill? Not sure it matters, but is it one particular bill he seems to want to know about every month? Are you infering that your DH no longer has an income or his income has decreased?
A bit curious if he is just wanting to monitor the water bill or electricity bill, or is this something with a fixed cost?
Anywho, yea... a bit more information would be helpful.
|Fri, 07-11-2014 - 1:56pm
I was married twice. Both times, we had a joint account and I paid ALL the bills and never asked my spouse about paying anything. In my 2nd marriage, my (now ex)H, seemed to want control over paying the cell phone bill because it had been in his name before the marriage and then he added me--after the phone almost got shut off a few times because he forgot to pay it, he realized he was better off letting me handle everything.
|Fri, 07-11-2014 - 10:58pm
All our money is OUR money, regardless of who makes what, or how much. Dh manages the savings, and I manage the checking and bill paying. Whether thay are recurring bills, or a one shot deal, I ask dh to ALWAYS ask me before he takes money from the checking account. It may LOOK like there is money sitting in the account, but it may be there awaiting an incoming bill, or there may be a payment that has not yet cleared. The same thing applies to me, before I take money out of savings. I don't know how much is TRULY liquid, or if it is awaiting transfer to another account, or if it is for a pending investment. I think it is common sense to ask, rather than risk bouncing checks.
BTW, how can you be with someone for 28 YEARS and "recently" not know if you were happy during that time? Heck, how can you suddenly not know if you were happy yesterday? Do you have some kind of memory problem? Perhaps that is why your DH wants you to ask him before you pay a bill.
|Mon, 07-14-2014 - 5:48pm
Hi Rockin--
I'm not understanding the question either, I dont think?
Are you saying that most bills wind up getting paid with your income, and so you are paying most of them, then he's acting like he's mad at you for paying them? (silent treatment?)
All I can guess is that he feels badly that he cant afford to pay them.....and/or (in his mind) is turning this into you dont think he's capable of paying them so you are doing it (emasculating him?).................however, if he truly cant pay them in time...eh.......what does he want to happen...........you DONT pay them, and let them go to default?
Maybe you need some talking or counseling re: what's really his issue---I'd guess feeling bad re: not able to contribute........??
Maybe you can explain further, and we can give you some better input/ideas??
(hugs) and best wishes!

Teen Could Get Two Years for Facebook Photos with Jesus Statue
Some horned-up teen is facing criminal charges and up to two years in a juvie for posting pictures on his MyFace wall of him getting a beejay from a statue of Jesus. "Eat, for this is my body" takes on a new meaning. The picture is kinda funny, but that there is a statute on the books for "Desecration of a Venerated Object" is not.

In the water?) in Kentucky, and they are re-applying for a state tax incentive of more than $18 million because, well, time ran out on their last grift. Anyway, they are hiring!:
"Our work at Ark Encounter is not just a job, it is also a ministry. Our employees work together as a team to serve each other to produce the best solutions for our design requirements. Our purpose through the Ark Encounter is to serve and glorify the Lord with our God-given talents with the goal of edifying believers and evangelizing the lost."
…which should make that whole First Amendment thingy kinda shudder, you know, with the state giving money to a fundamentalist Xristian Xrazie.
"But what about Dawson?," as they used to say in the '90s. Yes, Ken Ham has plans to discriminate against anyone who isn't as nutty as he is:
The ad has specific religious requirements for employment. These include a salvation testimony, a "creation belief statement" and a requirement that applicants agree with the organization's "statement of faith." This required statement includes articles that imply that fundamentalist Christianity is the only acceptable religion and that denigrate non-Christians non-fundamentalist Christians, and homosexuals (regardless of their theological views).
Nice work if you can get it.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order on Monday that prohibits federal contractors from discriminating against LGBT people.
It did not include any broad religious exemption for religious employers, which had been sought by religious leaders in the wake of the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision. White House officials had said Friday that the order would not include such an exemption.
Wingnuttian heads explode in 3… 2… 1…
…because sometimes you get it:
Less than three days after the Supreme Court ruled in Town of Greece v. Galloway that prayers before town meetings did not violate the Constitution's ban on endorsing religion, a self-styled Satanist in Deerfield Beach, Florida has asked city officials to let him open a meeting with a Satanic prayer.
Also note that this Satanist is the same guy who erected the Festivus Pole made of PBR cans in his town square fighting the Xristian Xrazies on the Manger front.

This is what happens when people pervert religion to suit their own agendas.

A specially-created music video using footage from the new movie Nowhere Boy. The song 'In Spite of All The Danger' was written by Paul McCartney & George Harrison in 1958. It was originally sung by John Lennon - with vocal backing by Paul and George. Recorded at the first-ever recording session of The Quarrymen (the band that eventually became the Beatles) in a private Liverpool studio in summer 1958. This version was recorded for the movie soundtrack by Aaron Johnson - who portrays the teenage Lennon in the film.
The music video was directed by Beatles scholar Martin Lewis (whose many Beatles-related credits include producing the DVD edition of 'A Hard Day's Night') and edited by Grammy-nominated editor Peter Shelton - working with extracts from the movie 'Nowhere Boy' filmed by director Sam Taylor-Wood.

I want to buy 2 cvr 15s and run them off a hifonics brutus amp and I wanted to know the differences between the 2 and 4 ohm models. And does 2 ohm mean I wire it straight to the sub and not the terminal on the box??
I want to buy 2 cvr 15s and run them off a hifonics brutus amp and I wanted to know the differences between the 2 and 4 ohm models. And does 2 ohm mean I wire it straight to the sub and not the terminal on the box??
Something tells me 2 15s won't work in a IS300 if that's your car and CVRs may not be your best choice.
But 2 ohm vs 4 ohm just helps u match up to your amps required impedance for the power u need. What Brutus amp do u have? They are 1 ohm stable so you'll need dual 4s and need to wire them to 1 ohm.

MIT's New Robot Cheetah Is a Better Cheetah Than Real Cheetahs
For years, robots have been rendering humans' jobs obsolete. Now, they're about to do the same thing to cheetahs.
In the bowels of MIT's engineering department, researchers have ushered a new creature into being: a 70-lb. robotic cheetah with comparable endurance to an actual cheetah. Though the robo-cheetah runs at around 13mph (less than a Read More

Showers ReturnOctober 18th, 2013 at 4:15 pm by Jason Smith under FOX10 Stormtracker Weather
Twitter: @JasonSmithFox10
Facebook: Meteorologist Jason Smith https://www.facebook.com/jasonsmithfox10?fref=ts
Clouds have stayed with us at times today, but at least it feels better. The humidity is much lower. Daytime high are in the upper 70's. We have also enjoyed a pleasant n'east breeze. The clouds are lingering as the front has stalled in the northern Gulf. A secondary cold front is tracking through the mid-south.
Friday Evening
Clouds and moisture will increase tonight. We only see a 20% chance of rain for this evening, as the front will stay stalled just to our s'east over the Gulf. This boundary will drift back towards us a bit early Saturday. Rain chances will be on the rise after midnight tonight.
Weekend Outlook
This front along the coast is expected to remain in place through Saturday. Over-running rain is likely along the stalled front. Our temperatures will be in the mid 70's for highs, and rain chances will continue through the first half of the weekend. A second front pushes the rain out by Saturday afternoon. Sunday looks dry at this point, with some sunshine and highs in the 70's. The nights turn cooler! Lows will be in the 50's Saturday night and Sunday night.
Even Cooler Late Next Week
Showers return in the forecast for Monday and Tuesday. A third cool front will push through Tuesday. This feature should bring in significant fall-like air for late next week. We see indications of lows in the 40's in the extended range models.
The tropics are quiet. Tropical system formation is not expected this weekend.

It happened 99 years ago this month, but the event has lost none of its grip on the public imagination. In Belfast yesterday, they put out at City Hall a plan of the RMS Titanic, drawn for the Board of Trade inquiry into its sinking, at 2.20am on April 15, 1912, in mid-Atlantic with the deaths of 1,517 passengers and crew. Those statistics chill us still.
Belfast was the birthplace of the Titanic, the world's largest, most luxurious liner. Twenty-two Belfast engineers and ship-hands went down with it, knowing that their "unsinkable" craft carried lifeboats for less than half the people on board. Worse hit was Southampton, which lost 549 men, apprentices and heads of family, who crewed the ship on its maiden voyage. Almost a century later, the port city still pauses to mourn.
These are comprehensible, local responses. Less fathomable is the universal appeal of the legend. Children of the 21st century who can name no other ship have heard of Titanic. An exhibition of artefacts from it is drawing vast crowds to the O2 in London. An Italian company is about to film a 12-part series on how it was built. And Hollywood has never let the legend slip. From the first speckled reality film of 1912, starring survivor Dorothy Gibson, through A Night to Remember (1958, with Kenneth More as Second Officer Lightoller) down to James Cameron's clever cross-class pairing of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in 1997, the tragedy of a luxury liner that hit an iceberg has come to represent almost any issue you care to name.
Class? Around 40 per cent of those in first class drowned, against more than 75 per cent of third-class and crew. Some claim there was wealth discrimination as the lifeboats were loaded. Americans pointed the finger at the British toff system. The sad truth is that the ship tilted too fast for most in steerage to escape, and many who tried to reach the upper levels were blocked by barricades installed by the supposedly class-free US immigration authorities.
Race? There was not one black face among the 2,223 people on board. In a famous Leadbelly song that comes close to rejoicing at the lily-white disaster, Captain Edward J Smith dismisses a black applicant with the words "I ain't haulin' no coal." Awareness of the Titanic was universal; not so, the grief.
Feminism? Entry to the lifeboats was "women and children first". Even at the time, it sounded like an anachronism, the last cry of a long-dead age of chivalry. In Denver, the anarchist Emma Goldman wrote "Suffrage Dealt a Blow by Women of the Titanic". If women wanted to be treated as equals they must, she argued, take their chances like men. Yet even a doctrinaire revolutionary like Goldman wondered at the nobility that inspired men to step aside and give their lives for others.
Nationalism? Captain Smith was heard shouting: "Be British, boys, be British!" What he meant, it's assumed, is "form orderly queues". There was little jostling on deck. A higher percentage of British men drowned than Americans.
Anti-capitalism? The Titanic was built as a blue chip in J P Morgan's rapacious bid to monopolise transatlantic travel. Its owner, J Bruce Ismay, had merged his White Star line with Morgan's International Mercantile Marine Company. Ismay has gone down in calumny for climbing into a lifeboat; his corporate strategy serves as a classic counter-argument for market regulation.

Russia has provisionally agreed to reopen a major Cold War listening post in Cuba that was used to spy on the United States, a Russian daily reported after President Vladimir Putin visited the island-nation last week.
Kommersant newspaper reported on Wednesday that Russia and Cuba had agreed "in principle" to reopen the Lourdes base, mothballed since 2001, citing several sources from the Russian government.
"The agreements were finalised while President Vladimir Putin visited Havana last Friday," the respected daily wrote.
Russia had closed the Lourdes spy base south of Havana on Putin's orders to save money, and due to a rapprochement with the US after the September 11 attacks.
But Moscow has since shown a new interest in Latin America and its Cold War ally Cuba and relations with the West have deteriorated amid the Ukraine crisis.
The base was set up in 1964 after the Cuban missile crisis to spy on the US.
Just 250km from the US coast, it was the Soviet Union's largest covert military outpost abroad with up to 3,000 staff. It was used to listen in to radio signals including those from submarines and ships and satellite communications.
"All I can say is -- finally!" one Russian source told Kommersant of the reported reopening.
The defence ministry and military high command declined to comment on the Kommersant report.
Ahead of Putin's visit to Cuba last week as part of a Latin American tour, Russia agreed to write off 90 percent of Cuba's debt dating back to the Soviet era, totalling around $32bn.
Russia paid Cuba rent of $200mln per year to use the base during the last few years it was open.
A former head of Russia's foreign intelligence service, Vyacheslav Trubnikov, told the newspaper the base would strengthen Russia's international position.
"Lourdes gave the Soviet Union eyes in the whole of the western hemisphere," he said. "For Russia, which is fighting for its lawful rights and place in the international community, it would be no less valuable than for the USSR."
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov was not immediately available for comment on Wednesday.

WPIX's Larry Mendte Speaks Out for First Responders
It's more than nine years since that horrific day left thousands of people dead at the World Trade Center.
But in the ensuing years, the tragedy has taken on a larger significance. Nearly 1,000 First Responders, the heroes of the day, who risked their lives to save as many lives as possible, have died. And thousands of others are up against the clock for their own survival.
Congress has been hard pressed to pass legislation to help the Ground Zero rescue workers, until now.
For the past month, as the House has wrestled with the hot-bed issue, Larry Mendte, who does his "take no prisoners" style commentaries weeknights on the PIX News at Ten, championed their cause.

Some business credit cards found on CardRatings.com require only excellent credit; however, there are some that require only "good" credit. "Less than favorable" is ambiguous. Do you mean "good" credit or "poor" credit? If by "less than favorable" you are referring to "good" credit, "good" is also open to interpretation. Some resources consider "good" as any score above 620, although I think in today's economy you really need to add at least 50 points to that to qualify as "good." Others say "good" credit is a score of 700.
The other part of your question deals with using the card abroad. While most countries will accept the major cards regardless of issuer, be aware that credit card companies generally charge a foreign transaction fee every time you use the card. If foreign transactions are a key element of card usage for you, you should shop around for the best rate.
Now, if by "less than favorable" you mean your credit rating is very low, you might want to consider checking out the cards listed under "bad credit." The problem with these cards is they likely carry a higher APR. While they will probably be accepted in foreign countries, as stated above, in addition to the higher APR, you will very likely have to pay foreign transaction fees.
My recommendation is for you to identify which countries you plan to do business with, and when you find an acceptable card, contact the creditor before you get a card to ask about acceptance in those countries. I would also select a card issuer with the largest network in the country where you expect to transact business, especially if you know you'll be traveling there.

Crispy Baked Chicken Spring Rolls

Crispy Baked Chicken Spring Rolls
Makes About 12 spring rolls
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing on rolls
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 Tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing on rolls
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
2 scallions, finely chopped1 cup sliced shitake mushrooms
2 Tablespoons store-bought hoisin sauce
12 square (7-inch) spring roll wrappers (See Kelly's Notes)
Sweet chili sauce, for serving (See Kelly's Notes)
Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Sauté the garlic and ginger in the sesame and olive oils in large sauté pan set over medium-low heat.
Add the ground chicken to the pan, breaking it apart into small pieces, and sauté until fully cooked.
Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté just until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and drain out any liquid. Stir in the green cabbage, scallions and hoisin sauce until thoroughly combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Arrange the spring roll wrappers on a dry work surface then place 3 to 4 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each of the spring roll wrappers. Roll the wrappers around the mixture, folding the edges inward. Before your final fold, dip your fingers in water and then moisten the outer edge of the wrapper to seal the spring roll shut. (See Kelly's Notes.)
Arrange the spring rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat nonstick baking mat. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil then bake them for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating after 6 minutes, until they're golden brown and crispy. Remove the spring rolls from the oven and serve them immediately with the sweet chili sauce.
Kelly's Notes:
Spring roll wrappers can be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets. I highly recommend the Nasoya Egg Roll wrappers, which are found in the refrigerated section of Whole Foods stores.
Sweet chili sauce can usually be found by the ketchup in most supermarkets. I prefer the Frank's brand of RedHot Sweet Chili Sauce.
The number one rule to successful spring rolls is to roll tightly! The less space you leave within the spring roll, the less chance of it falling apart while baking.
The rolls can be prepared up to three hours in advance and stored in an air-tight container in the fridge. Remove them from the fridge and bake them when ready to serve.

A Tale of Two Cities
Games of compare-and-contrast can be fun. They also provide a method to evaluate and learn from those things being compared and contrasted. In the parks and recreation business, the rules of this game often morph. The simplistic compare-contrast approach yields to the more complex chess-like game of evaluating and defining the needs of each community. The check-mate is declared when facilities are overflowing with satisfied patrons. And so it is with Medina, Ohio and Longmont, Colo., two strikingly similar cities … Continue reading
Fitness Cycles
The biggest lesson learned at Medina and Longmont's fitness centers inside their new recreation centers was to make them bigger. "If there's one thing we could change, it would be the size of the fitness facility. We have about 20 pieces of cardio, free weights and select-drive equipment, and it's really tight in there," says Troy Houtman, facility supervisor for the Longmont Recreation Center. "It's a matter of trying to change the peak times and encouraging people to come during … Continue reading
Swim Lessons
Adaptability is an important concept for Medina's recreation center. The adaptability thread goes from room to room and area to area. In the aquatics area, one of the important adaptable features is the spray ground. "If we see that this isn't as popular as we hope it is, we're able to change it extremely easily. If we need to put a small slide there, or we need to put a climbing net, we might have to do that, so we … Continue reading

Jahromi, M. F. and Juan, Boo Liang and Mohamad, Rosfarizan and Goh, Yong Meng and Shokryazdan, P. and Ho , Yin Wan (2010) Effects of aspergillus niger (K8) on nutritive value of rice straws. African Journal of Biotechnology, 9 (42). pp. 7043-7047. ISSN 1684-5315

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of solid state fermentation for the improvement of the quality of rice straw as animal feed. Rice straw was fermented using Aspergillus niger (K8) with and without additional nitrogen source (urea). Cellulose, hemicelluloses, organic matter (OM), dry matter(DM), acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) contents of rice straw were determined before and after 10 days of fermentation. Fermentation has significant (P < 0.01) effect on NDF, but not ADF and ADL contents. Addition of urea as nitrogen source significantly reduced (P < 0.01) the NDF and hemicellulose contents of fermented rice straw. Cellulose content of the rice straw was not affected (P > 0.05), but crude protein (CP) increased significantly (P < 0.01) after fermentation. In vitro gas production technique was used to evaluate the effect of the biological treatment on activity of rumen microorganisms. Fermentation of rice straw using A. niger significantly reduced total gas production (P < 0.01), DM disappearance (P < 0.01) and acetate, propionate and total volatile fatty acids (VFA) production (P < 0.05). Results of the present study showed that solid state fermentation of rice straw using A. niger reduced lignocellulose content, but has negative effect on microbial activity in the rumen ecosystem, presumably due to antagonistic activity of A. niger, or other intermediate products from the fermentation, on the rumen microorganisms.
