(Updates with comments from finance minister starting in second paragraph.)
June 27 (Bloomberg) -- Finance Minister Elena Salgado said Spain won't need a bailout even as a surge in borrowing costs "worries" her, with the yield on the country's benchmark 10- year bond at its highest level since 2000.
While demand for Spanish debt remains strong, "of course" the yield "worries me," she said in an interview today on TVE television in Madrid. "We are not, nor will we be, on the verge of any bailout."
Spain's government, facing general elections in March that polls indicate it will lose to the opposition People's Party, is trying to convince investors it can reorder its public finances and avoid following Greece, Ireland and Portugal into a bailout. Spain's 10-year bond yield climbed to an 11-year high of 5.77 percent today as the cost of insuring against default on European sovereign debt rose to a record.
"Each time we ask for money, there are lots of people willing to lend us the money we need, many funds, many sovereign-wealth funds, many countries, many investors," Salgado said.
Uncertainty over the Greek government's ability to secure parliamentary support for its austerity program is pushing up Spanish borrowing costs, Salgado said, adding that she's "not contemplating" the possibility of lawmakers rejecting the plan.
"For a day and a half, till the result of the vote on austerity measures is known in Greece, this uncertainty is going to be there in the markets," she said.
The first session of a three-day debate in Greece on new budget cuts is scheduled to begin today. A vote is expected on June 29 on the plan, which European leaders have said is a prerequisite for further aid.

Flex Belt
Product: Flex BeltCost: $199.99Claim: Get strong, firm, toned abs in just 6 weeks
The Flex Belt, designed to be worn under clothing, delivers short pulses of electrical stimulation to the muscles and nerves in the abdominal area, prompting them to contract and relax. In as little as six weeks, the makers claim, the process will lead to leaner, toned abs. Yet not only is this device costly and its claim empty, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose, the Flex Belt may even be hazardous to your health. "Electrical currents may be unsafe for those with heart and other serious health conditions," says Haley. For better results, she says, stick with the Bender Ball or try bodyweight exercises like the plank to slim and tone your core.
Verdict: Scam!

Orthodox Tidbits Why the Nativity Fast Has Been Established
The Orthodox Church prepares its faithful to welcome the Nativity of Christ in a worthy manner by means of a
40-day Nativity fast, which lasts from November 15th to December 25.
Besides generally known reasons, the Nativity fast is also undertaken by Orthodox Christians in order to venerate the suffering and sorrow
undergone by the Holy Mother of God at the hands of the scribes and the Pharisees just prior to the sacred event of
Christ's Nativity.

She was just 19 years old
When she left her home
The morning desert sun was at her back
She knew right then
There would be no truning back
Leaving home was the best thought that she had
But now in a parking lot in washington
She asked to herself what had she done
Earth mother bear and eagle was on the run
Two more nights till colorado
And the scene was done
And if flying back home
Was as easy as the run
She realized the there'd be no turning back
Where will you take me?
What will we do?
Where will you take me?
What will we do?
Then a man drove off in a bright white cadillac
She got in that ride and she never came back
She knows what she needs
She said it feels so good to me
She knows what she needs
She said it feels so good to me
Ain't no turning back

Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have much ground to cover; that they do so with intense pacing and epic sweep is impressive enough, but by investing greater depth and consequence in the actions of fellow Hobbits Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), they ensure that Return of the King maintains the trilogy's emphasis on intimate fellowship. While several major characters appear only briefly, and one (Christopher Lee's evil wizard, Saruman) relegated entirely to the extended version on DVD, Jackson is to be commended for his editorial acumen; like Legolas the archer, his aim as a filmmaker is consistently true, and he remains faithful to Tolkien's overall vision. If Return suffers from too many endings, as some critic suggested, it's only because the epic's conclusion is so loyally inclusive of the actors--most notably Astin--who gave it such strength to begin with. By ending the LOTR trilogy with noble integrity and faith in the power of imaginative storytelling, The Return of the King, like its predecessors, will stand as an adventure for the ages. --Jeff Shannon

How can she be dubbed "world's worst mom" for something so trivial. How could that be worse than growing up in a broken home with a mother who's addicted to crack?
Frigggin' overprotective SUV driving soccer moms...
I agree with you...
Everyone faces dangers the minute we are brought into this world.
As we grow older, we face new (or the same) dangers that we faced as children.
Adult men are targets for mugging, random assault and even rape.
Teenage girls are often targets for kidnap or rape.
College teens often go missing and are often tricked into scams.
The elderly are abused and taken advantage of....
My point is, no matter what stage you are in your life, you will face dangers. This does not prevent us from going forward and facing the day...at least, it should not prevent any of us.
If you think about it, there are plenty of dangerous situations for children in our own homes. Priests, nannys and teachers have been known to take advantage of children in many ways.
I think letting a child take the subway is the least of our worries, in this world today.
The child wanted to be left alone. The mother talked it over with her husband. The mother provided a map and money and coins for a phone. The mother told the child why she was leaving him, in a department store. It's not like she abandoned him on a sketchy street corner, with no warning and no supplies.
Besides, how many cases have we heard of kids getting taken when the parents are only feet away?
"Stuff" happens, even if you are exceptionally careful. Unless you live in a glass dome...and even then, your dome can be shattered
~mM ... Curiosity killed the cat... Mm~

Abu Dhabi (Jun 27, 2010)
that Mom has a good head on her shoulders, first and foremost.
She knows her child and what's he capable of, which is a HECKUVA lot more than most parents know (i see it first hand, working at an elementary school and all). Plus, she even talked it over with her husband before letting him try it!! how is that not good parenting? he had a bus pass, extra money, quarters, what the hell else does he need? an f-ing gun?
come on U.S. media! you complain about how kids are wrapped up in drugs, video games, and obesity, but you all freak out when a kid takes public transportation!!
and you, Moms! why aren't you raising your children to take care of themselves!? They can wash their own clothes, they can clean their own rooms, and if they're ready, they can take the damn train by themselves.
HolderOfTheDarkChalice (Jun 27, 2010)
I wish I had that kind of mom. 'World's Worst Mom' is for me someone who dumps kids in rooms full of crack, or leaves toddlers out on the sidewalk without supervision while they go buy booze - pretty much all moms in COPS episodes with that theme in mind gets my vote. In that regard, obsessive controlling soccer moms are only about second to stage moms, imho.

On topic: Every kid is different and so is every city. That sort of thing should be the right of any parent to decide for themselves and none of our business.
l Stone Hold l Now We're Cooking! l Thanks to Kaos for the awesome sig!
I'm not sure actually how I feel about this. I guess I can't say I really care all that much.
I think it's the parents' business how they raise their children.
However, SHE is the one who told everyone about it. Did she expect to be praised? No. She knew what the reaction would be, so she simply cannot complain about what anyone has to say.
That aside, I am not sure if what she did was wrong or right. My parents raised me to be independent, clever, and logical. They taught me how to think for myself in all aspects of life. They certainly did NOT coddle me. I rode my bike all over town and did stuff on my own all the time. I stayed home for the first time when I was about 9-10. I hiked all through the woods all by myself when I was a kid. I grew up in a very small town, so it's much different out here than in New York. I understand what the mom was doing... The kid is fine, so really... who cares at this point? The kid is proud of himself, anyway!
Regardless of how you feel about the about the situation... The simple fact is that boy could have been kidnapped and all manner of horrible things could have happened to him. It's a horrific possibility that the mother doesn't seem to mention. (I didn't see the interview or read her stupid book, mind you.) It's something to be kept in mind whether you are a child or adult out on your own!
On the other side of the coin... Most of the crimes committed against children are from people they know. Family and family friends. I would know: I was the victim of violence when I was a kid... at the hands of someone I had known for over 10 years. *shrug* Someone he loves and trusts could hurt the kid more than strangers on the bus. That's a fact.
It's certainly not my business per say. But I do hope that the mother realizes she needs to also protect and talk to her child about the these things, and not just let him ride the subway home. You don't have to be paranoid, but you need to be aware and protect yourself and your family.
So yeah... See? I'm sort of all over the place on this. It's not a situation that has a wrong or right answer. :S
Our news isn't censored by our government. Our populous wouldn't stand for it. I'm offended that you would say that, and I ask for proof of your claim. We don't sensationalize bad news. Every time I watch CNN I see stuff like "Are Escalators safe? Tune in to our special on "Stairway to death". The US Media empire is based on fear to boost ratings and earn money. Don't confuse censorship with journalistic integrity.

Corey CoCo Brother Condrey is leaving radio. He shared a copy of his resignation letter with fans in which he states:
[quote][/quote]I feel like I need to spread my wings in order to grow at the level that I'm being called to.
The split with Reach and Radio One was an amicable one so there is no drama to report. He simply wants to do what God is calling him to do. Faith requires that we leave it all and follow God's voice much like the Father of Faith, Abraham.
Condrey sent out an email to all of his fans to explain his departure. Here's a excerpt:
[quote][/quote]"My goal was to be the first African American male syndicated at night on a mainstream platform. Syndicated on R&B, Hip- Hop and Gospel stations…. ministering the Gospel of Jesus across the country. No one believed that a night time urban radio show could be syndicated, this was truly The LORD'S doing!"

Bulls Come Back to Youku Tudou
By Mike Yamamoto of OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Youku Tudou (YOKU) jumped Thursday, and traders piled into the name for the second time in as many weeks.
OptionMonster's tracking systems detected the purchase of about 3,700 August 27 calls for 75 cents in the session. There was no open interest before the trades appeared, which indicates that this is fresh buying.
Several other strikes expiring in the next two months saw bullish activity as well. The trades followed call buying in the July 20 contracts about two weeks ago.
Long calls lock in the price where the stock can be purchased no matter how far it might climb. They could be sold before expiration at a profit if premiums rise with a rally, providing potentially significant leverage, but the contracts can quickly lose value if shares stall or pull back.Youku's stock rose 4.37% to $22.95 on Thursday. The Chinese video-streaming company got hammered on May 23 after its last earnings report but found support around $19 and has been working higher this month. Short interest is more than 10% of the float. Overall option volume in Youku Thursday was six times its daily average for the last month, with calls accounting for a bullish 81% of the total. Yamamoto owns YOKU shares.

text: 5 A timeless Sci-Fi classic by one of the genres best authors.Darkstar | 20/08/2008 | See all Darkstar's reviews (87)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer The Time Machine is a classic and brilliant book by one of the best authors of the genre, HG Wells. His book was written years before Einstein's theory of relativity which makes his description and concept of time travel all the more amazing. The Time Traveller, whose name is never revealed, is an extremely likeable man whom you can connect with straight away. The futuristic world that Wells creates is both amazing and disturbing at the same time. But what is really clever about the book is that it symbolised the class division of the time which is captured perfectly by the two different 'species' within the book. The chilling truth when it is revealed is both shocking and unforgettable.What is also hard to believe that for all the descriptions and ideas contained in the book, it is only 144 pages long. However what it manages to achieve in those few pages many books struggle to achieve in an entire series. This is without doubt one of the finest examples of Sci-Fi writing and I would whole heartedly recommend any SF fan to have this in their collection.Wells style of writing is also so descriptive and the language he uses conveys his vision so accurately, you feel like you are imagining what he must have done when thinking of the story. From his own time to that of the distant future, the landscapes, colours and sensations are all these to be enjoyed and you would believe that he has experienced them himself. In fact at no time do you question the possibility of time travel as you are so engrossed with the story.This is one of my all time favourite books and one which I have read over and over again. So if you like Sci-Fi what are you waiting for, you need this book.

To the administrator, Great Plains Regional Medical Center: I recently had the good fortune to be transported by North Platte Fire and Rescue to your fine Emergency Department.
They saw I was in distress and gently calmed me. They made a diagnosis and started me on the road to recovery.
I spent five days on 2 East. The only thing I could think of that would make patients feel more at home would be if you made a card stating the channel name and number for the TV and laminated them.
It can get irritating to the patient and roommate to continually flip through the channels. The laminated cards would be cost-effective also, if purchased at RSVP, 900 East 10th, in North Platte.
I praise the entire staff, including the LPN students, for making my stay one of safety and pleasure. My first few days I was lucky enough to see, through my window, the leaves on the trees turn red and our glorious American Flag flying high.
I would especially like to commend one of your nurses, Lynne Ward. She went above and beyond what her position required. She answered all my questions in a manner I could understand. If she saw I was having an anxiety attack, she could talk me down without medication. When I needed help, she was always there for me. Although your entire nursing staff is wonderful, in Lynne Ward you have an angel in disguise.

Here is the list of FE participants for you to print out if you are not on the Facebook group but ARE in the FE group and need the list:
I have added your thread to the cruise meet list :thumbsup2
Have a great cruise!
All booked... So we will be on board!!! Can't wait! :yay:
It's official. We put down our deposit today! This will be our 3rd trip. Looking forward to a "New Year's" special cruise!!! Hopefully we'll have more than just us three "dis" members going! :rotfl2:
We plan on going. Just saving up our deposit. Will be booking it in the next couple of weeks. This will be our first Disney trip ever!:yay:
This will be our third cruise (all on Disney). We went on the Alaska trip in June. Going on MV of Fantasy in March for our 20th anniversary. Then this one for New Year's. I can't wait for either of them. Loved the Alaska trip. I didn't ever want to get off the ship. I think we could have all sea days and I'd still be happy!
Anyway, I hope we can form a group and meet up after embarkation. Maybe we'll even do FE groups or something. That would be fun for a New Year's cruise, don't you all think?
I would love to do FE's! I have a ton of ideas for handmade items! I am a big crafter and I know my son (3yrs) would love to help deliver "gifts" to everyone.
We have booked the Disney Dream (5 Night -12/28/12) for our very first cruise ever!
It will be me, DH, DD15 and DS9 (their ages at the time of sailing).
We plan to do WDW first before the cruise.
Lots to read and learn!
Welcome, Chokky! This cruise will be DH and my third cruise and DS(19 at cruise) and DD(15 at cruise) second cruise. We loved our first trip and we now are hooked! Hope you have the same great experience!
I am the planner of our group so am reading lots over the next year.
DH and I booked this while onboard the Aug. 27 Med cruise. Another couple (who were our table mates) booked it, too! We can't wait to spend NYE on the Dream! This time we decided to let the kids come with us. :rotfl:
It will be:
Me, DH, DS12, DS10 (ages at time of sailing).
It will be interesting to read the trip reports from this year's Dream cruise over New Years.
Can't wait to see what kind of things they offer/do on-board for the holiday cruise so I can get an idea for next year.
Hi everyone, we just booked too, well I say we but it is going to be a surprise for my two girls, plan on letting them know Christmas morning 2012:santa:
It will be myself, my hubby and two girls who will be aged 11 and 13 at time of cruise.
Very excited:banana:

Another great, albeit subtle, redesign of the Sparrow iOS icon. I really like the way the background colour of the icon perfectly matches the blue colours on the paper plane. It's simple but effective.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
I particularly like the distressed look of this logo design, although I'm unconvinced by the way the marks go outside the circle. The strong use of monochrome and symmetry helps to mark this logo out.Posted in Branding → Logo
A beautiful example of a logo that uses an ink stamp effect. I love the typography and the way in which the letters have been set. The evident texture and the unique gold colour of the ink help to give this logo real character.Posted in Branding → Logo
I really like the subtle yet beautiful background that gives this portfolio site its character. The restrained use of text and navigation means that visitors are guided into direct contact with this designers work, and then straight to the contact information.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
A strong example of a rigid grid layout that works perfectly as the landing page for an artist management agency. I like the bold use of imagery and the strict use of black and white for the rest of the text and navigation, it gives extra weight to the photographs.Posted in Web Design → Misc
A simply great example of a business card that perfectly suits a graphic designer. I really like the nature of the brush strokes and the choice to use black on white for the whole card, it's a bold one.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
I really like the strong image focus that this site has, the huge background images giving a real sense of character and consistency to the site. The use of typography and simple iconography helps to unite the site and create a engaging experience.Posted in Web Design → Misc
Sometimes, the colour of an element can do wonders for an interface. This is one of those occasions. Another grey slider would have made this a mundane design at best, but the perspective and bright colour of the slider makes it jump right out at you.Posted in Interface → Element
This is a business card design of the previous logo. I love the bright and bold use of red, and the strength of the two-colour design. The simplicity of this logo works beautifully for a business card, and could work perfectly as the primary logo.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
This is a fantastically understated, yet perfect, site for one of the most accomplished and well-respected hair stylists in the world. I love the simple grid of photographs and the reluctance to use any text that isn't absolutely necessary.Posted in Web Design → Misc
A superb element that makes effortless use of texture to immediately bring the object to life. I really like the use of lighting and the way the depth of perspective works.Posted in Interface → Element
A strong logo that makes perfect sense, I really appreciate the use of bold and purposefully fiery colours. It's not too complex, which is good for reproducing the logo in a variety of different contexts.Posted in Branding → Logo
Here we have a simply gorgeous site that's dedicated to fixed gear bicycles. I love the minimal layout and restrained use of text, but the thing that shines through is the phenomenal photography - it's jaw-droppingly good!Posted in Web Design → Sport
Here we have some nautical themed process icons for a new portfolio website. I really like the consistent illustrative style and the pure clarity of the icons, they all work beautifully together.Posted in Interface → Element
Minima is a theme that combines minimal and unique design with functionality and usability. It's a superb PSD template that emphasises the power of clean and minimal design.Posted in Web Design → Design
A simple, but nonetheless beautiful, icon for the website of a design studio. I love the use of line and little details to make an impact with the concept.Posted in Interface → Element
A simply beautiful design for a business card that has a very unique feel about it. I really like the colour palette and the use of simple shapes to create an image, the opening door idea perfect for the giving out of a business card.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A modern and effortlessly crisp WordPress theme that would work perfectly for a huge variety of uses. I really like the strong use of imagery and the subtle textures.Posted in Web Design → Corporate
A great button element that makes a bold distinction between the pressed and unpressed version of the button. I like the clean design and subtle use of textures.Posted in Interface → Element
A great logo for a non-profit that delivers movies, CDs, and other related materials to the elderly. I like way the logo takes the concept put forth in the name and runs with it, the use of a consistent illustrative style giving the company a strong brand.Posted in Branding → Logo

TWT Columnist Lands Book Deal, Author to Warn of Impending Doom for Children
By Betsy Rothstein on June 21, 2010 1:10 PM
The good news? Marybeth Hicks, a weekly culture columnist for TWT, is getting a book deal.
Regnery Publishing announced today that it has signed a publishing contract with Hicks. Her new book, Generation S, comes out in the winter of 2011. In a nutshell, Generation S "explores the Left's systematic indoctrination of America's children and the socialist agenda that threatens to destroy our children."
And now for the bad news: "Hicks will warn that our children may become the first generation of American socialists, succumbing to a governmental system that robs them of liberty and prosperity in the name of social order," states a release from Regnery on her book.

The Luckenbill Legacy
When it came time to apply to college, there was only one option for Kirstin Luckenbill '16. She visited three schools but submitted her only application to Lebanon Valley College, following in the footsteps of her father, Brian Luckenbill '88.
Father and daughter have more in common than choice of college. Brian graduated with a degree in music education with a voice concentration. His daughter shares the same major with the same concentration but with ambitions of expanding to piano.
"We're very into music," Brian said. "I've been into music all my life. When I went to college, I didn't look at any college other than Lebanon Valley either. I heard that Lebanon Valley was great for music. It wasn't far from my home. That's how I decided."
"His stories definitely influenced me, but he wasn't the only reason I came here," Kirstin said. "My parents didn't pressure me to come here – though they were obviously thrilled that I was going to come here. They wanted me to apply to more than one school, but I just didn't want that."
At home and in church, Kirstin either sings or plays flute in accompaniment to Brian's piano playing. Though he did not end up teaching music professionally, Brian serves as director of music in his church and works as a third grade teacher.
Kirstin aspires to someday teach private lessons in a studio setting. While that goal will require a great deal of real-world experience, she is consistently building her résumé. In high school, she was involved in chorus, band, musical, show choir, county chorus, and the National Honor Society. "I've looked into a lot of activities on campus already, but I'm trying not to overload myself right away," she said. "I'm in concert choir and marching band, but I'm still looking for things to get involved in."
Kirstin is one of 18 legacy students to come to LVC this fall – each with one or both of their parents listed among LVC's alumni. Though she also has friends who have graduated from the College, her father's remains the most trusted voice when Kirsten wants to hear about college life and LVC history.
"It was really a lot of fun," Brian said. "We'd be with a tour guide going around. The guide would say something, and I'd have to interject. I had to let them know different things about when I was there. It was a lot of fun."
Legacy students at LVC also benefit from the
Children of Alumni Award
– a scholarship program that grants $2,500 per year, for a maximum per-student benefit of $10,000 over the course of four years.

Do you like the new Strenght of the Borg?
(please don't merge this with the other post as it is kind of different - as I don't know HOW they have been made stronger just that they have - this is specific discussion not general)
Personnally I think that the new stronger Borg is better - if they did not make them stronger all the new gear everyone will have over the next few months would just make the Borg too easy.
I really noticed the power yesterday - though I thought what they were doing was a bit much - It still made ISE more of a challenge.
I was flying a Fleet Nebula - SCI toon - shield tank and crowd control build.
18.8k shield facing strength - RSP/EPS/TSS/TT etc - I can pretty much keep my shield up under full Borg gate attack.
The ship had 50% plasma resist - My shields where holding up but my hull was being vapourized right though my shields?? MACO XII(old) shields and my hull is disapearing faster than I can heal it. I thought it was kind of rediculous blowing up with full shields!!
What do you guys think of that and of the new power to the Borg?
The borg were never week. 39 ship against 1 cube (BOTW). That's how I like them. Tough but and a challenge.
No. I don't like the current strength of the Borg.
And this is why -
I want the Borg to be more difficult as an opponent, not more unfair. There is a difference.
Giving the Borg weaponry that hits you for a critical of 120k (sometimes more... I'm looking at you, Borg Queen) which, realistically, circumvent every possible defence, boils down to a strategy of "the only way to win, is not to play".
Threat control is broken. It is not possible for the Engineers to take heat off an escort, because the AI does not appear to respect threat control (even when fully specced) when you are next to an escort that is putting out in the order of 10k DPS (Which the good ones can, and will do).
This makes threat control a wasted skill - you're better off throwing those same skill points in to healing specializations and hammering the escort with as many instances of HE, Aux2SIF, ET, TSS and Extend Shields as you can, and even then - there is no guarantee the Escort would survive.
The endless graveyard run has never been a sign of good game design.
I'd rather see the Borg fight with some intelligence (maybe give the AI an overhaul) and/or a broader range of abilities, instead of single-shot wonder weapons to which there is no defence.
They have always had the ability to cause kinetic dmg thru shields from what I have experienced, and yes plasma dmg bypasses shileds at times and it can also proc a crit killing you even faster. Any1 else throw your 2 cents this mans way plz. 8)
My Hull is not Oddy strenght but spec'd out with skills it comes to 47.5k
Idk really, I am more curious what builds these people are running... For me in ISE, I just get one shotted every once in a while if I am not careful at what or when I am shooting at. Cure ticks me off with the Neg'vars tho...
If you are getting one shotted more than 2 or 3 times in ISE, maybe it something you are doing that is attracting it. I always considered ISE to be a total joke as far as difficulty and I have won the optional while holding a baby in my lap... KSE is pretty easy too. Cure tho... idk CSE and I are not getting along right now....
I honestly haven't noticed any increase in difficulty running STFs whatsoever. There have always been insane 100k+ crits from tac cubes and the gate in ISE - but they don't happen all that often and they're pretty much the only times you die anyway.
Negh'Vars are excellent in Cure, they really feel tough and you need a decent strategy if you want to solo them - but I really don't think they are too hard at all.
Tone down the crits, they should be recoverable. I've not yet run Hive Space Elite yet, so I can't vouch for the borg queen crits which a lot are moaning about...
Haven't really noticed to tell you the truth.
With all due respect to hive onslaught elite and the idea of it, it's just too risky to pug.
Regular stf's are business as usual, I have to actively try to make a dysfunctional build to not be able to hold up my end.
Last week I made a sci beam boat with all tos phasers and a VII shield because I was bored, works fine.
I've flown t4 ships into stf's and I have even had the tos ship in there and taken hits from cubes without dying.
I never had a time where I could tell a difference from using one space set or another so I just randomly slap on whatever visuals I like.
The STFs are Task Force missions and like any other game that has used the term, for example City of Heroes, they should be tough, take time and require experienced players as well as willing novices looking to learn.
If the new STFs Borg help thos be tru then I aprove.
Of course if they do not REWARD in fair amounts equal to the effort, then that means they are not worth doing.

A pregnant inmate in Luzerne County's prison system kept claiming she was in labor, and prison officials suspected she was faking it.
"She's been warned about it, but she likes to go to the hospital," county Correctional Services Division Head J. Allen Nesbitt recently told County Council during his 2014 budget presentation.
Unwilling to take chances, prison officials immediately whisked her to the hospital, only to learn she was not nearing delivery, he said. The prison can bill inmates for medical care if it's determined they "abuse the system," he said.
"The hospital told us this is the third time that she's fooled around with it. We have now charged her restitution for that trip of $635," he said. "We will try to get that from her."
The situation was among several examples Nesbitt provided to show he's exhausting all available opportunities to bring in new revenue and cut costs in the prison system, which is the largest single department expense in the county's proposed $127.1 million 2014 general fund operating budget.
The proposed budget calls for $30.99 million to fund the prison system next year. While some county departments bring in fees and outside government funding to offset expenses, the prison system is expected to generate only $522,732 in revenue next year.
The county budgeted $29.5 million in prison expenses this year.
"The division of corrections historically has been the big elephant in the room when it comes to budget time," Nesbitt said.
On the revenue side, Nesbitt told council he charges inmates when possible, including a $100 processing fee when they enter the prison system.
If inmates ask to see the doctor and have no medical problem, a $5 fee is charged, he said. Inmates also pay $5 if they must go to a hearing officer for violating prison rules or if they lose their identification or their prison handbook, he said.
Nesbitt told council he could further reduce staff and save on building upkeep by replacing the aging, five-story prison with a modern facility, but that option is not on the table at this time because prior administrations maxed out borrowing. The county's debt repayments are estimated at $27 million next year.
"The answer is a new facility, but I know we're not going to see that for a long time," Nesbitt said.
County officials have exempted the correctional system from potential budget-related layoffs, saying the prison is down to minimum staffing levels needed to ensure public safety.
Nesbitt said he is still trying to streamline staff. The canine program will be eliminated, and the remaining dog handler on the workforce will transfer to a corrections officer position vacated by a retiring employee, which will save $99,000, he said.
The day reporting center director resigned in September, and her duties are now handled by existing employees, he said.
Nesbitt said he is proposing the creation of an employee to handle the classification of inmates because that service costs $25,000 more when handled by an outside contractor. Inmate classification involves assessments to determine which section of the prison system offenders should be lodged.
A lieutenant has been overseeing prison food ordering since the kitchen supervisor was furloughed in the last round of layoffs, and increased competition has resulted in reduced prices, Nesbitt said.
He's budgeting $871,533 for food next year, compared to $950,000 in 2013. The prison spent $1.02 million on food in 2012 and $939,400 in 2011, records show.
Overtime is increasing from $400,000 in this year's budget to $650,000 next year primarily because additional staffers must be called in to transport inmates to the hospital, with as many as four runs some days, he told council.
Nesbitt said the prison is staffed "bare bones" and has no cushion to handle transport on each shift.
Personal days also cause a problem because as many as a dozen unionized guards may take off the same day, but Nesbitt said he is working on a solution with the union.
The union agreement, which covers roughly 280 of the 302 prison employees, expires the end of this year. The current contract provides six personal days, 12 holidays and 18 sick days in addition to vacation leave. The union has the right to binding arbitration if negotiations reach an impasse.
The prison also has realized savings with energy efficient bulbs for exterior and interior lighting and motion detectors that dim lighting in offices, hallways and fire stairways when these areas are not in use.
"We lost our maintenance supervisor in layoffs last year, and one of the union workers has stepped up to come up with this program," Nesbitt said.

Christmas, meet Hanukkah
Winter's most festive holidays swap some recipes and stories
Driving around the neighborhood, my kids were wistfully admiring the fairyland of colored lights and wire-sculpted reindeer adorning the lawns. Even the orthodontist had a spectacular tree in the waiting area, appropriately decorated with ceramic apples, wrapped toothbrushes and berry-flavored dental floss.
Every holiday season Jewish children suffer from Christmas-envy. That's where Hanukkah fills the void. Once a minor holiday in the Jewish line-up of celebrations, it has been elevated in importance to the A-list.
I was reminded of this when we left the orthodontist's office and my daughters were ranking their favorite holidays, and the winter festivals topped the list. Their choice was probably once again due to the bright lights during the longer winter nights (not to mention the presents and child-friendly foods).
From Pagan times to the present, people have been pushing back the darkness first with fires, then candles, lanterns and electric bulbs. Christmas has a lighted tree while Hanukkah has a lighted menorah (Jewish candelabra), although the cross-cultural pollination today finds many Hanukkah bushes in Jewish homes.
When my grandmother was growing up in Russia, her family performed a beautiful "festival of lights" ritual called the Flaming Tea Ceremony. Chunks of sugar were doused with brandy and everyone was given a glass of hot tea and a teaspoon full of the spiked sugar. The lights were dimmed and a lit taper was passed around the room, lighting everyone's high-octane sugar. When the last person's sugar was ablaze, they dropped the flaming cubes into their tea and the room sizzled. Oooh's and aaah's filled the home, then they sang Hanukkah songs and noshed on my great-grandma's potato latkes and famous old-world apple strudel.
This year Hanukkah is rather late, with the first candle-lighting taking place Dec. 22. Since Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar, the dates are ever-changing, while Christmas has a standing reservation on the 25th day of December on the Gregorian calendar, locking in the date year after year.
Hanukkah is a celebration of the miraculous flame that kept the drop of purified oil burning for eight days to help Judah Macabee rededicate the desecrated temple in Jerusalem. Those eight days are now the excuse for giving children eight separate presents on each night of the holiday during the candle-lighting and sing-along ceremony.
Even though Christmas technically lasts for 12 days, the big bonanza is on Christmas Day, Jesus' birthday. Still, gift-giving is a central theme of both holidays. Shushing down the chimney, Santa Claus bears gifts to good little boys and girls, while Hanukkah-celebrating families pile on the gifts around the menorah to all children, whether naughty or nice.
Hanukkah is also a festival of cholesterol, celebrating the eight-day miracle with jellied doughnuts and latkes or potato pancakes fried in (what else) oil, served with applesauce and sour cream. The true miracle is if you can manage not resembling a sack of potatoes after stuffing your face silly with these fattening latkes for more than a week!
