Chet Meeks Memorial Fund
One of our alumni, Chet Meeks, died on January 11, 2008 from colon cancer. Chet graduated from our department in 1995 and received a Ph.D. from SUNY-Albany. He was Assistant Professor of Sociology at Georgia State University at the time of his death.
The Chet Meeks Memorial Fund was established by Oliver Walter, former Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at UW, and his family who were close friends of Chet. Since its establishment, dozens of others have contributed to the fund. Each year, it supports up to two summer research awards to students in our MA program. These awards help support the recipients while they conduct thesis research in the summer.

Flittie Scholarship Fund
Edwin Flittie was head of the Sociology Department for 15 years. The Flittie Scholarship Fund was established by Audie Blevins and Kathy Jensen after Flittie's death in 1987. As a testament to the long-term influence of a teacher, students of Ed Flittie are still contributing to this fund. We are proud to report that this fund has reached endowment level. Consequently, the principle is protected and scholarships are now funded solely through investment returns. Thus the fund will be available in perpetuity for the purpose of awarding scholarships to our top students.
Each year the Department of Sociology awards the Edwin G. Flittie Scholarship ($500) to one or more outstanding undergraduate students. The criteria for the scholarship are:
- A minimum of 90 credit hours earned, with at least 15 credit hours in Sociology
- An overall minimum GPA of 3.5 in sociology course
The department reviews the eligible students and awards the scholarship at its graduation-and-honors banquet near the end of the spring semester of each year.
View the recipients of the Flittie Scholarship.
Wilbourne Excellence Fund
Amy Johnson (now Wilbourne) was a student in our undergraduate program in the mid-1990s and earned her Masters in Sociology in 1997. She and her husband John Wilbourne established the Wilbourne Excellence Fund for our department, which has been a wonderful resource to help us fund educational enrichment activities both of our faculty and our students.
Graduating with Honors in Sociology
Beginning in 2013, the department will award Wilbourne Excellence scholarships to majors who graduate with Honors in Sociology. To graduate with Honors, majors must have a 3.2 overall GPA, a 3.5 GPA in sociology courses, and one graduate-level (5000-level) sociology course.
Wilbourne Junior Scholar Award
In 2014, the department established a new scholarship, the Wilbourne Junior Scholar Award, which is funded by the Wilbourne Excellence Fund. It consists of an award of $500 to a full-time undergraduate major in Sociology who has standing as a Junior (i.e. has completed at least 60 credit hours, but not more than 90 credit hours). The primary purpose of the award is to recognize a junior in our program who meets the following criteria:
- A 3.0 or higher UW cumulative GPA
- A 3.25 or higher UW GPA in Sociology with at least 9 credit hours of coursework
- A demonstrated record of service to UW and/or the community
The department reviews the eligible students and presents the award at its graduation-and-honors banquet near the end of the spring semester of each year.

I ride & I have been hit several times. I have also graduated from an a motorcycle safety trainning course, I have riden for more than 20 years now.. I have had more near misses than I can count, as (Cagers) are in such a rush just last night while the officer was busy watching the (Evil Biker) ride by he totally missed the fact that the teenage girl driving daddy's car decided to change lanes suddenly as the car in front of her was turning ..... but a quick crack of my throttle blasting her ear drums out woke her up & possibly saved my life....... so I guess I should die so someone doesn't have to hear me...LOL but the funniest part.. is the a out of the box lawn mower has a higher decibel reading than my bike my bike is at 85db where a factory built lawnmower is permitted to be 90db... so when are you going to stop my niebour from mowing his lawn at 7am on sunday morning.....

"I have also graduated from an a motorcycle safety trainning course, I have riden for more than 20 years now." One would think with all that training and experience that your first reaction to someone cutting in front of you would be to either hit the brake or blow the horn. Nope, it's hit the throttle. Probably explains why you've been hit so many times.

Virginia, I never said it was only about me, I said I don't care one way or the other. And as for health risks, well almost everything in today's society is a health risk. What about lawnmowers, chainsaws and circular saws, should we ban them too? What about junk food and alcohol? Personally they don't bother me. So I really don't care what the government does on the issue.

How nice for your Frank that you don't have any problem with loud noises. Neither does my 87 year old grandmother now that she's lost her hearing. And neither does my 16 year old nephew who loves loud music and doesn't understand (or care about) the long term implications of listening to it. But the problem of noise pollution from motorcycles isn't about your or me with our personal takes on the issue. It is what the overwhelming majority of the population sees as a serious problem. Surveys conducted in other jurisdictions have confirmed this. Municipalities right across Canada have passed stricter new by-laws to battle it. The EPA in the U.S. has said that motorcycle noise is one of the most frequently cited complaints regarding pollution. Studies have shown that it not only destroys hearing but can lead to heart attacks and a host of other health problems. So you see Frank, unless you can demonstrate that you are in the majority on this matter, or you can produce evidence that noise pollution does not pose health risks, or that your right to pump up the volume trumps my right to peace and quiet - then you should accept that this isn't really about you but about the good of the population at large. The tiresome Mr. Mclovin argues that government has spoken and that the rest of us who are highly offended by this unnecessary noise should suck it up and move on. Yes, we could - but we won't. We won't let this go until the Dunderdale government gets off its rump and passes the necessary legislation to give us back some peace and quiet in our neighbourhoods.

Virginia is high again!! Overwhelming majority? Do you even know what this means? Have you seen how many motorcycles are on the road? These people all have friends and family and I seriously doubt any of them are in agreement with the DT Tree Hugging Association, so there goes your overwhelming majority nonsense right there. A dozen or so people who live in the Downtown area does not represent an overwhelming majority, Virginia. If you had the voting power an "overwhelming majority" would bring, believe me the Government, Oppositions and the City would be tripping over themselves to deal with the issue and to get their faces on TV.

I don't own or never have owned a motorcycle but I must say that the noise doesn't bother me at all. It just sounds like summer to me. I was downtown on Canada Day and the police were escorting a convey of bikers up Water Street and yes they were noisy but I don't know what all the hoopla is. Some people this day and age just complain for something to do. My neighbor who is 87 said that some people will complain if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction.

Hey Virginia. are you on drugs? Seriously? Go back and read my very first post. In it I included "(sarcasm intended)" after my ridiculous comment about the airplanes. But you go ahead, keep shooting your mouth off without having the proper grasp on the situation and without reading all the comments. Just like you are with your after market pipe arguments. And If I did indeed own a bike as you suggest, why would I hide that fact? Seeing as I am this insensitive clod who desperately needs the attention, wouldn't I be bragging about the fact that I have the money and means to not only buy a Harley but also to fit it out with after market parts? Is it that hard to comprehend that there is actually a non-bike owner out there that is not bothered by them or the "noise" they make? Just a couple of questions for you concerning your expert legal, medical and scientific knowledge. How do you plan to prove that the noise from a motorcycle is "abusive" or "damaging". It'll take more than just you saying so. Similarly, I know your group of lawmakers argue that there is no evidence to suggest that the pipes save lives, is there any evidence out there that says they don't save lives? Also, how long does a person have to be exposed to the 85 db before it becomes damaging to your health? How is dB level effected by distance from the source? Anyway, I dont expect answers to these questions, just stated them to show that there are two sides to every argument but I get what you people are saying. You don't want motorcycles in DT St. John's. I get it. But government has decided that it doesn't support your argument. Deal with it and move on OR you can just keep crying and kicking and screaming and insulting like a spoiled child that didn't get his/her way.

"you can just keep crying and kicking and screaming and insulting like a spoiled child". That's funny but only because you started your post with "Hey Virginia. are you on drugs?"

So why not tell us Mclovin - what kind of motorcycle do you have and what kind of aftermarket exhaust did you install. I know you wanted to hide the fact that you're the owner of a hog but - now that bag is out of the cat - why not tell us all about it. You know you want to. No middle age, life crisis mesmerized guy with a Harley can stop themselves from talking about it. Your need to make as much noise as possible driving down the street. It just screams 'look at me - I desperately need the attention'. You're like the Ruffed Grouse puffing himself up for the ladies and intimidating the male competition. All this yelling that your rights - to have fun as you put it - are no less important than my right not to have my eardrums shattered. One concept that you and other insensitive clods seem not to understand is that there is a hierarchy of rights. In that hierarchy, courts have ruled time after time that your right to fun and frolic is trumped by my right not to be abused or damaged by it. But of course you continue to insist that the noise from motorcycles is not abusive - this despite the expert medical evidence that noise levels above 85 db are damaging to health. And, of course, now you tell us - after a great deal of negative reaction to your original posts - that any comparison with aircraft was only sarcasm. Indeed it was.

I'd like to ask all the anti motorcycle people out there who do they expect to enforce this? Neither the province nor the City has the money to hire additional resources for this. Do you expect the RNC to take some of the resources they have addressing real problems to enforce this issue?

This guy gets sillier with each posting. Somehow he thinks people who don't want to be exposed to unnecessary loud noise are "anti motorcycle". Spin it doctor, spin it. How are the police to enforce it, the same way they enforce all those other motor vehicle laws. It would be interesting to hear your odd sense of logic of how a noise restriction would harm the right of bike owners to have "fun". Unless your point is that it's the noise that's fun and not riding the bike.

No issue with noise control but include cars and trucks as well as motorcycles. Otherwise its discriminatory.

The $2.1 Million Kitchen That's Smaller Than Yours
In the market for a Central Park-side home and not much of a cook? This is your place
By Amy Preiser
Love small space living? Then you'll be as tickled as we were to see this Curbed New York piece about a residence in the tony Pierre Hotel. The one-bedroom apartment is for sale for $2.1 million, including a kitchen that's described as a "skillfully hidden kitchenette." So hidden, in fact, that the stovetop seems to be in a pull-out drawer. A genius way to save room, we'll admit, but hardly the kind of clever space-hack that you'd expect for such a lavish price.
Of course, the listing also mentions that the residences also house Sirio's Restaurant, so perhaps there's no need at all for the kitchen, hidden or not.
Tell us: Would you rather have a large kitchen or a fantastic restaurant downstairs?

Arndt and Eck cite Bender, who says "This first American Mennonite Hymnbook isnot to be confused with one of similar title printed by Saur at Germantown in 1753, called erroneously by Seidensticker and Flory a Mennonite hymnbook." Each portion of this item has a separate title-page, with the second section's title-page reading Sammlung altre und neuer Geistreichen Gesänge. The woodcut frontispiece depicts David playing his harp.
Arndt & Eck 2419; Shoemaker 2239. Contemporary calf rebacked some time ago, spine with gilt-stamped leather title and publication labels; rubbed, original clasps now lacking. Front fly-leaves with early inked and pencilled inscriptions. Final leaf (pp. 21/22 of the 22-page appendix of brief hymn texts, not of the main portion of the work) lacking. Edge nicks, chips, and tears, some extending into text; three leaves torn in half from outer margin, without loss of text; two leaves (one index) with lower outer corner torn away, with loss of a few words; last two leaves with outer edges ragged. Some upper corners bumped. Pages browned, with waterstaining to lower inner portions of about a third of the volume. (25569)
There was a separately issued Prospectus that has been found bound in fewer than six copies. It is not present here.
Binding: Contemporary American calf binding over wood boards, tooled in blind on covers using a double-fillet to form three concentric panels, the innermost one with corner devices. Flat spine with modest blind-ruled decoration.
Provenance: 20th-century ownership inscription on front pastedown of Gershon L. Cloison; later in The Howell Bible Collection, Pacific School of Religion; now properly released.
Evans 1946; Holmes, Cotton Mather, 314; Sabin 46471; ESTC W5126; Rumball-Petre 374. Small natural flaw in the leather of the rear cover; front joint (outside) partially open with front and rear free endpapers lacking. Housed and well protected in a faux caramel-brown leather openback slipcase with an inner chemise. (33774)
RARE: ESTC locates only two copies in the U.S. (Emory, Duke) and three in Britain (two at Rylands, other at Congregational).
ESTC T175579. Contemporary calf, covers framed in gilt roll; rubbed, worn, and rebacked with library buckram, spine with typed paper label; hinges (inside) reinforced with cloth tape. Front pastedown with institutional bookplate. Title-page (and one other) with pressure-stamp, pastedowns and verso of title-page rubber-stamped. A few instances of faint foxing, pages otherwise clean. (19509)
Rare: WorldCat locates no U.S. institutional holdings and only two copies in the Netherlands, while STCN seems to locate only the copy at the University of Amsterdam (but there is a reported copy at Tilburg). COPAC finds no copies in Britain or Ireland.
Hillerbrand 4329. Contemporary brown calf, covers framed and panelled in blind with geometric and floral designs, rebacked expertly and front hinge (inside) reinforced; sides with small scuffs refurbished, clasp mounts intact but straps lacking. Unobtrusive repairwork throughout: Title- and final leaf exquisitely restored using leafcasting method; some corners cast and numerous leaves similarly strengthened; fol. 134 torn with upper half of text lost and missing area repaired with blank paper; one leaf with tear across nicely repaired, with minimal obscuring of text to one page. Front pastedown with institutional bookplate; pages trimmed closely, touching shouldernotes; text legible throughout but with notably lighter and darker sections associated with leafcasting. A strong, attractive, and interesting example of this rare book. (27255)
Binding: Dark green publisher's cloth, cover edges bevelled and title gilt-stamped in a cartouche on front one, this within a blind-stamped vaguely "gothic" frame. Glossy brown endpapers and all edges red.
Bound as above, somewhat scuffed and with loss of cloth at head and foot of spine; hinges (inside) open. Ticket of a music publishing concern and "musical merchandise" establishment in Worcester, MA, inside front cover; endpapers chipped. Text age-toned, generally clean; a few pencillings. (3192)
Publisher's quarter sheep with printed sides; neatly respined with cloth tape. Signed by previous owner on front pastedown. (4182)
Nicely printed, this is illustrated with an engraved frontispiece portrait of John Fellows, with the titles of some of his other works (see above) appearing beneath it; preliminary pages (8 pp.) consist of a dedication to the Rev. Mr. John Ryland of Northampton, and a preface. Stated at foot of title-page: "Price One Shilling and Six-Pence."
Rare: ESTC locates only two copies in the U.S., and this is one of them, now deaccessioned; and OCLC adds only the copy at Yale.
ESTC N39616; on Fellows, see: Edwin F. Hatfield's The Poets of the Church (New York, 1884), & Josiah Miller's Singers and Songs of the Church (London, 1869). Recent quarter calf and marbled paper over boards; gilt-stamped leather spine labels, gilt-ruled raised bands, gilt rule where leather meets paper of covers. Title-page chipped at upper right corner, one leaf a little ragged at outer edge, another leaf repaired at outer margin. Pages overall clean, but with some random spotting and slight age-toning, including to title-page and frontispiece; light offsetting to title-page from facing plate. Ex-library with "no. 5" marked in blue crayon at the top of title-page; faintest traces of library call number on the verso; no other markings. Final three pages (pp. 94–96) mispaginated 118, 119, and 120. Handsome. (24459)
Evidence of use/readership: Some hymns marked for use, a handwritten index inside front cover, and many added hymns tipped in from a different hymnal.
Bound as above, hinges cracked, front free endpaper missing. With some small staining and a limited section of pages tattered along bottom edge; "personalizations" as above. (2392)
Pilling, Algonquian, 266; Pilling, Proof-sheets, 2027; Boston Athenaeum, Schoolcraft Collection, 113; Newberry Library, Ayer Indians, Chippewa 110; Banks (rev. ed.), Books in Native Languages, 124. American Imprints 38327; Sabin 17056. Not in Evans. Stitched in original blue-green wrappers, wrappers with small loss of paper at top of spine. A clean, unmarked copy. (31359)
Binding: An example of a painted and tooled vellum binding known in Germany as a "Bauern Einbände," or "Peasant Binding" — but, though betraying a strong influence of folk art, such bindings were certainly not for peasants! The style almost certainly began in Hungary with early examples first appearing in southern Germany, and it was to gain greatest favor in northern Germany and Holland during the 18th century.
This vellum binding is elaborately tooled, embossed, and painted. There is an outer border on each cover lettered in black with a motto; the center area is occupied by an embossed and painted bouquet arising from a heart-shaped jar inscribed with "Das herze mein soll dir Allen a Jesu sein." The bouquet is painted in red, green, and yellow, and below the quoted matter is a stylized device of a "4" above the letters "C G R" (or "C R G"). All edges gilt.
Bound as above, lacking the metal and vellum clasps; binding rubbed, but charming and evocative. Overall in good+ condition. (29117)
Publisher's printed paper–covered boards, rebacked with brown library cloth, spine with inked title and shelving label; paper dimmed and rubbed with spots of staining, front cover with early inked "1854" in upper outer corner.

All edges gilt.
Binding as above with a few small scuffs, back cover with areas of faint discoloration and light scrapes. Pages clean. Very giftable. (29151)

South Central College will have a moment of silence at 8:45 a.m. to remember September 11th.
Let us come together and take a day to remember the day that changed us forever.
"May the lives remembered, the deeds recognized, and the spirit reawakened be eternal beacons, which reaffirm respect
for life, strengthen our resolve to preserve freedom, and inspire an end to hatred, ignorance and intolerance."
These words are the final part of the mission statement of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World
Trade Center in New York City. As the nation and world mark the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, South Central
College shares the sentiments of the 9/11 Memorial and calls upon our students and employees to make Sept. 11, 2013 a
day of commemoration.
Take a moment on this day to remember and honor the thousands of innocent men, women, and children murdered by
terrorists in the horrific attacks of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001. Thank our local first responders for their
dedication to protecting our community.
Remember the many Americans who have served and are currently serving in our nation's military—many of whom
enlisted as a response to the 9/11 attacks.
The moments below outline the timeline of events on September 11, 2001:
8:46 am: Hijackers deliberately crash American Airlines Flight 11 into floors 93 - 99 of the North Tower (1 WTC).
9:03 am: Hijackers deliberately crash United Airlines Flight 175 into floors 77 - 85 of the South Tower (2 WTC).
9:37 am: Hijackers deliberately crash American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon, near Washington, D.C.
9:59 am: The South Tower (2 WTC) collapses.
10:03 am: After learning of the other attacks, passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 launch a counterattack on
hijackers aboard their plane to try to seize control of the aircraft. In response, the hijackers crash the plane
into an empty field near Shanksville, P.A.
10:28 am: The North Tower (1 WTC) collapses. The 16-acre World Trade Center site is in ruins, with collateral damage
affecting all adjacent properties and streets. A rescue and recovery effort begins immediately.

Earth Craters
Name: Rose Status: Student Grade: 9-12 Location: MD Country: United States Date: April 2006
Why are impact craters rare on the earth?
It is not so much that the Earth somehow was not subjected to the same meteor bombardment as the other planets and moons in the solar system. Rather, because there is so quite a bit of geological activity on Earth (wind, rain/erosion, volcanic activity, techtonic plates motion, etc.) and human activity (building of cities, roads, etc), these activities tends to "erase" such features over time.
Greg (Roberto Gregorius)
Scientists believe that the Earth was impacted in its past, and may once have resembled present-day Mercury and our Moon in terms of craters. Earth has very active weathering and erosion, and a lot of rocks and land that were around when the Earth was heavily cratered are no longer present. They have long since eroded and became other rocks and sediments. We no longer have the heavy bombardment thought to have been present in the early solar system, and craters found now are likely to be more recent. So, impact craters are rare on Earth because few impacts are occurring now, and impacts which occurred in the past are long-since eroded away.

CIA Chief Breaks Silence: Pakistan Would Have Jeopardized bin Laden Raid,
"Impressive" Intel Captured
By Massimo Calabresi Tuesday, May 3, 2011 | 82 Comments
Read more:
In his first interview since commanding the mission to kill Osama bin
Laden, CIA chief Leon Panetta tells TIME that U.S. officials feared that
Pakistan could have undermined the operation by leaking word to its
targets. Long before Panetta ordered General William McRaven, head of the
Joint Special Forces Command, to undertake the mission at 1:22 p.m. on
Friday, the CIA had been gaming out how to structure the raid. Months
prior, the U.S. had considered expanding the assault to include
coordination with other countries, notably Pakistan. But the CIA ruled out
participating with its nominal South Asian ally early on because "it was
decided that any effort to work with the Pakistanis could jeopardize the
mission. They might alert the targets," Panetta says.
The U.S. also considered running a high-altitude bombing raid from B-2
bombers or launching a "direct shot" with cruise missiles but ruled out
those options because of the possibility of "too much collateral," Panetta
says. The direct-shot option was still on the table as late as last
Thursday as the CIA and then the White House grappled with how much risk
to take on the mission. Waiting for more intelligence also remained a
On Tuesday, Panetta assembled a group of 15 aides to assess the
credibility of the intelligence they had collected on the compound in
Abbottabad where they believed bin Laden was hiding. They had significant
"circumstantial evidence" that bin Laden was living there, Panetta says -
the residents burned their trash and had extraordinary security measures -
but American satellites had not been able to photograph bin Laden or any
members of his family. The Tuesday meeting included team leaders from the
CIA's counterterrorism center, the special-activities division (which runs
covert operations for the agency) and officials from the office of South
Asian analysis.
Panetta wanted to get those aides' opinions on the potential bin Laden
mission, and he quickly found a lack of unanimity among his team. Some of
the aides had been involved in the Carter Administration's effort to go
after the hostages held by the Iranians 30 years ago; others had been
involved in the ill-fated "Black Hawk Down" raid against Somali warlords
in 1993. "What if you go down and you're in a firefight and the Pakistanis
show up and start firing?" Panetta says some worried. "How do you fight
your way out?"
But Panetta concluded that the evidence was strong enough to risk the
raid, despite the fact that his aides were only 60%-80% confident that bin
Laden was there, and decided to make his case to the President. At the key
Thursday meeting in which President Obama heard the arguments from his top
aides on whether or not to go into Pakistan to kill or capture bin Laden,
Panetta admitted that the evidence of bin Laden's presence at the compound
was circumstantial. But "when you put it all together," Panetta says he
told the room, "we have the best evidence since [the 2001 battle of] Tora
Bora [where bin Laden was last seen], and that then makes it clear that we
have an obligation to act."
Obama decided that Panetta's arguments trumped two other options: striking
the compound remotely or waiting until more evidence was available to
prove bin Laden was there. "If I thought delaying this could in fact
produce better intelligence, that would be one thing," Panetta says he
argued, "but because of the nature of the security at the compound, we're
probably at a point where we've got the best intelligence we can get."
For weeks, Panetta had been pushing the National Geospatial-Intelligence
Agency to try to get photographic confirmation of the presence of the bin
Laden family. "NGA was terrific at doing analysis on imagery of that
compound," he says, but "I kept struggling to say, `Can't you at least try
to get one of the people that looks like [bin Laden]?' " NGA produced
photographs of the two couriers and their families that McRaven's Navy
Seal team used to identify players in the compound as they made their way
toward bin Laden.
Panetta only learned that the President had been convinced by his
arguments on Friday, when Obama said he was authorizing the helicopter
mission and made his order official in a signed letter. After he received
the order, Panetta told McRaven of the President's decision and instructed
him to launch. He told him the mission was "to go in there [and] get bin
Laden, and if bin Laden isn't there, get the hell out!"
CIA officials turned a windowless seventh-floor conference room at Langley
into a command center for the mission, and Panetta watched the operation
unfold from there. As he and his team waited for McRaven to report on
whether bin Laden was indeed at the compound, Panetta says the room was
tense. "I kept asking Bill McRaven, `O.K., what the hell's this mean?,' "
and when McRaven finally said they had ID'd "Geronimo," the mission code
name for bin Laden, "All the air we were holding came out," Panetta says.
When the helicopters left the compound 15 minutes later, the room broke
into applause.
The aftermath of the mission has been productive. The U.S. collected an
"impressive amount" of material from bin Laden's compound, including
computers and other electronics, Panetta says. Panetta has set up a task
force to act on the fresh intelligence. Intelligence reporting suggests
that one of bin Laden's wives who survived the attack has said the family
had been living at the compound since 2005, a source tells TIME.
That will raise questions about the Pakistani government's possible
awareness of bin Laden's location in recent years. But one of Panetta's
predecessors says this can work to U.S. advantage. "It opens up some
opportunities for us with Pakistan," says John McLaughlin, former deputy
CIA chief. "They now should feel under some great pressure to be
cooperative with us on the remaining issues," like going after the Taliban
elsewhere in the country. "It's called leverage."

Too many of us aren't ready for retirementNovember 03,2013At the risk of ruining your Sunday-morning coffee routine, theres some eye-opening news out there that bears your consideration.
Well, its not really news; in one form or another, its something we all know. But for me, its just one more reminder of the seriousness of an important financial challenge for many Americans living after the alarm clock no longer has to go off before the sun comes up.
Retirement is the single most important life event you will plan for. There, I said it. I am not usually one for such demonstrative statements but its really true.
We can borrow to buy a car, a home, for college, a wedding or even a funeral. But you cant borrow to fund retirement. There is no loan program like one that allows you to go to college and pay later.
And yet, despite these facts, according to a recent retirement study, nearly half of Americans do not feel confident they will be able to save enough for retirement. A third of the 1,000 middle-class people surveyed for the study believe they will have to work until they are no longer able, just to get by.
The top savings priority for 59 percent of the middle class was paying bills, while saving for retirement was a distant second at 13 percent. Perhaps even worse, nearly half of the respondents said they did not believe you could save for retirement and pay their bills at the same time.
Talk about disturbing and distressing news. To think that so many Americans, and perhaps you are one of them, believe they will essentially have to work until they no longer can its not what the American Dream is all about.
Granted, two-thirds of those surveyed are confident they will be able to provide for their retirement. That raises the question of what factors separate the confident group from those who are not.
The line in the financial sand is having a plan. Of those who have a written plan, a road map to save for retirement, 70 percent said they feel confident they will be able to save enough to retire. Only 40 percent of those without a plan feel the same way.
Only a third of the respondents have a written plan. Using a nest egg of $200,000 as a benchmark needed for retirement, those with a written plan are at 32 percent of their savings goal. Those without a plan are at only 10 percent of their savings goal.
Having a plan keeps you on track. You have a road map and you have systems in place that provide you with discipline to save.
We are not a country of great savers. We have what economists call a propensity to consume. While this propensity does fuel our economy and a good economy does have its benefits, that urge to buy does not help our savings rate.
Saving is not easy but its definitely harder without a plan. With a plan comes knowledge. And it will give you options.
No matter how much you love your job, none of us wants to work forever. Plan now and know where you are headed tomorrow.

NCAA Power Rankings: Duke and Iowa State Are Actually Playing Defense This Year
10. Maryland Terrapins Maryland is the best team in college basketball that you've never heard of. Truthfully, I went back and forth and back and forth between who I wanted to put at this spot, between Maryland, Kansas, and Utah. I ruled out Utah since they completely looked out-manned against Arizona on Saturday, and Kansas has looked completely out-manned on TWO separate occasions this season, and one of them was to NIT-bound Temple. So naturally, I picked Maryland. The Maryland resurgence is also led by a player you may have never heard of, and that's Melo Trimble. Trimble is essentially college basketball's version of James Harden. He averages over 16 points per game on just over…

I know GE has a bad reputation for refrigeration in general. What is the consensus on the new fridges, made in the USA (Which is great!) We are looking for counter depth, french door, ice and water (preferably in the door). Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I actually got on this forum today to ask the same Q. We just ordered the new GE Cafe french door fridge w the hot water dispenser. On the GE website there are 7 reveiws. All are 5/5 stars. But then on the Home Depot website there are 9 reviews. 7 of the 9 reviews posted are 5/5 stars (all pulled directly from the GE website). The other 2 reviews are from Home Depot customers and are 1/5 stars stating that the fridge is ridiculously noisy and they wouldn't buy again. You really have to be careful reading reviews from the GE website- they seem like they might not be from 'real' people?? I too am so curious to hear from real people about what they think about the new GE fridges... |
Btw, we originally were set on purchasing a counter depth version too but after seeing the GE Profile counter depth we decided against it. The shelves are super shallow- we are a family of 5 and I just couldn't see fitting a pan of leftover ziti or veggie tray, etc. At least look at it before you buy one. It may no be big enough for your family. The cu ft look good on paper but when you actually see it you may be surprised. |

Thanks so much for the information mcfromct! I am planning a trip to home depot later today. Good luck with your new fridge! |
Im also interested. Anyone with brand advice? |
We are about to put the regular depth french with 2 icemakers on order for delivery in aug/sept. confirmed it is Louisville Ky - made. will let you know at that time! |
I would be interested also am looking at the 32 cu ft one which has good rating on consumer reports.Went to Lowes and saw it today its also on sale for 2499 til the 9th of july. |
- Posted by furnitureshopper (My Page) on Sat, Jul 6, 13 at 11:46
I've only seen the GE Cafe counter depth, but disappointed that stainless sides on older models are now replaced with dark gray textured sides. Way too dark for the exposed area in my kitchen. |

"I love this rice, and I'm not a rice person unless it's covered in sauce. I used jasmine rice, onion powder, about a tsp of powdered saffron (it's what I had), threw it in the rice cooker, turned it on and then let it sit on warm for at least an hour once done before eating. Yummy!!"
"Sooo Good!! I used 2 Pasilla Chilis and 1 Red Pepper (my store doesn't have Poblanos). I added some butter (because we love the flavor of mushrooms, butter and cheese) and a bit of cumin. I left out the tomatoes because my husband won't eat them. Delicious!! Served it with Saffron rice as suggested as well. The changes I made were ..."
"Very yummy and made us feel fancy, yet it was so easy! The measurements read all wonky for some reason here is the equivalent so I will have it for next time. 2 tbl butter, flour and mustard, 3/4 cup water and just about a 1 cup of evaporated milk. I didn't remove the skins from the potatoes and used regular flour (it's what I had). ..."
"The flavor of this marinade is very good!. Unfortunately, I only had 4 hours to marinade my london broil, which turned out okay but I imagine would be way better the longer it sits. The meat had been in the freezer and think the flavor would be better on a fresh cut. Thanks for sharing!"
"I'd never had, nor had I ever made a Sheperd's Pie before, and this was very good! I got nothing but compliments at our annual St. Patty's Day shindig. I doubled the recipe for the most part, only used about a cup and a half of wine, but 3 cups of beef stock. I used Merlot, because it's what I had and that added a distinct f..."
"So happy you posted this recipe! Years ago my husband and I used to go to the one in Studio City, and this recipe totally brings back the memories and the flavors! I did use less butter (1/2 cup unsalted, not sure if it matters), added a tsp of crushed red pepper flakes, used half fresh and half dried rosemary and kept it covered while simmering..."
"This was easy and a nice change. Served with grilled Lobster tails and Snow Crab legs for Valentines Day, and it paired well. Although my son didn't seem to like it as much as I thought he would, but I will make it again."
"Delicious! I used unsalted butter (it's what I had) and won't do that again. Even adding a bit of salt doesn't give the butter the same rich flavor. The meat was yummy and the tails looked so pretty with a bit of BBQ char. So good and so easy!!"
"This was tasty but for some reason it wasn't a big hit on Christmas Day. Could be that we did a buffet and it got missed. I used fresh mushrooms and diced red pepper in place of the pimento. Nice change from green bean casserole and loved that I could just throw it in the crock-pot and save space in the oven."

430 Sir John Latham, Minister to Japan, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 197 TOKYO, 25 April 1941, 12.15 p.m.
Your telegram No. 123. [1]
As now advised I am generally in accord with the views contained in your telegram No. 112. I agree strongly that we should avoid mere polemics and pinpricks. I understand suggested measures are intended to be imposed as reprisals should Japan make some definite further move hostile to us and not to be imposed prior to any such move so that the question of action does not arise at the present moment. I share your doubt whether they would be effective and not merely provocative. However I am at present in consultation with the British Ambassador [2] and Canadian Charge d'Affaires [3] with a view to putting forward proposals regarding (a) present economic policy (b) reprisals should such be necessary, and will advise fully as soon as possible.

Blizzard blog explains how to send or receive a Scroll of Resurrection {WoW}
Apr 4th 2012 2:58AM You don't get the mount in the in game mail once the friend has paid. It is added to your battle.net account. There you need to assign it to one of your characters, once you have done that you will get the mount in the in game mail.
I think SoR is a really cool promotion.
I have a friend who has been playing forever but very slowly, he has had an active account for years. At the moment he can't really afford the € 44,99 it takes to upgrade from BC to Cata. I would love to send him a SoR but can't because he has an active account. However my slacker friends that cancelled their BC account get Lich AND Cata for free! (and all the other goodies on top of that)
The Daily Grind: Does MMO magic need a revolution? {Massively}
May 22nd 2011 9:26AM When Asheron's Call started twelve years ago you neede to do research to discover spells. Make combinations of components, try to cast something and if you were lucky you learned a new usefull spell.
That was a long time ago, even in AC you now buy the scrolls you need.
The problem is most MMO's have gotten close to fps games, everything has to be instant and easy, because that is what the majority of the paying customers want.
Can you imagine camping a spot for 24 hours like in EQ?
Sleeping, concentrating, obtaining rare components, all things that will be much closer to the written fantasy worlds are too much of a hassle in games.
Scattered Shots: Reforging ranged weapons? {WoW}
Nov 8th 2010 1:34PM I just hate guns a lot, I do not like crossbows much but I love bows. I don't even upgrade to a better weapon if it is not a bow, and only to a crossbow if the increase is huge.
Finding a gun with better stats and then being able to change it into a weapon I like would be awesome!
Breakfast Topic: What drove you to reach the level cap for the first time? {WoW}
Sep 27th 2010 9:21AM It's what you have to do, 0-60 (amd then 0-70, and then 0-80 and soon 0-85) is the tutorial, where you learn how to control your character and get ready to play the real game, in my case raiding, for other people arenas or bg's
Know Your Lore: High General Turalyon {WoW}
Sep 8th 2010 2:45PM Isn't Athene the greatest paladin in the world? ;)
Great article, the first part I read in the novel, but not about the battle against Ner'zhul, is this from the game lore or from a novel?
Breakfast Topic: Are there atheists in Azeroth? {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 8:37AM In RL there is no proof that gods do exist, therefore there are people that do not believe in the existence of them (atheists) or people who do not consider them a factor as neither their existence or non-existence can be proven (agnostics).
In WoW there is proof that gods exist, you can even go to their layers and slay them. It is impossible to ignore the existance of C'thun or Yogg-Saron therefore being an atheist (or agnostic) is pointless.
Even the non-believing farmer in Durotar can be taken to the dwellings of the gods, be it AQ40 or Ulduar, whether they survive or not is another story.
In real life I still have not seen anyone calling LFM Hell(or Heaven) need 1 tank, 2 healers and 4 dps and actually making that raid happen ;)
Spiritual Guidance: Priest PSA {WoW}
Aug 30th 2010 4:08AM My reaction when they complain about my healing (which tbh hasn't happen in ages, healinh 5 mans in ICC gear is way too easy) :
'I'm here to keep you alive, not to keep you at 100% all the time.'
Usually followed by a comment about bringing your own food or 'we do not need to finish Gundrak in 97 seconds'
Breakfast Topic: Some day my ding will come {WoW}
Aug 19th 2010 10:39AM I dinged 60, 70 and 80 on seven different characters during vanilla, tbc and wrath and it really didn't do anything for me.
Getting to 60 was some work but it was nowhere near the effort it took to get to max level in the MMO's before WoW that I used to play. Getting to the level cap in WoW is actually quite easy, and when things are easy to obtain the thrill of obtaining them is not that huge.
It was kinda fun though because hitting the level cap ment the tutorial was over and it was time to get to work for real ;)

This is the best recipe. We love it. I usually leave out the bacon in the interest of calories and it is fine. Recipe and photo was originally on recipezaar.com by Nimz~. NOte: the sodium content looks really high, but you don't use the seasoning packet in the ramen noodles, so it is actually much lower than stated.

Artist Soo Sunny Park leads us through real-life pearly gates with her large-scale installation Unwoven Light. Using twisting fragments of chain-link fence as massive frames, Park fills the common wire structure with hundreds of plexiglass squares, each piece taking almost ninety hours to complete. Like giant diamonds doused with light, the sinuous installations hung in Rice University's gallery space, transforming the blank white box into a luminous crystalline world sparkling with color and movement.

Lasers create slice of energy storage
Transforming graphite oxide (GO) into a full-fledged supercapacitor turns out to be a simple process, but until recently, was anything but obvious. Scientists already knew that the heat of a laser could convert GO—the oxidized form of graphite, or carbon-based pencil lead—into electrically conducting reduced graphite oxide (RGO). [Read more…]
Virus with sweet tooth makes kids sick
Scientists at Rice University have defined the structure, down to the atomic level, of a virus that is the second-leading cause of juvenile diarrhea. The findings could lead to the development of medications to block it before it becomes infectious. [Read more…]
Pollen fossils from Antarctic's warmer days
By studying fossilized grains of pollen, researchers have reconstructed the climate history of the Antarctic Peninsula, which gave up its vegetation about 12 million years ago. Scientists are studying the region because it has warmed significantly in recent decades. [Read more…]
Coated sand filters dirty water
A bit of nanotech "magic" is turning sand into a super-effective water purifier. By coating coarse grains of sand with graphite oxide, researchers at Rice University have created a material that is several times more efficient at removing contaminants than sand alone. The breakthrough may benefit developing countries where more than a billion people lack clean drinking water. [Read more…]

In the past two decades, there has been growing interest in finding novel and non-toxic antioxidants to meet the requirements in chemical, food and pharmaceutical industries. To accelerate the antioxidant discovery process, various theoretical methods have been employed to investigate the structure-activity relationships of antioxidants. Accordingly, some rational-design strategies for antioxidants have been proposed and applied in practice. This review summarizes the current knowledge on this topic, which will be helpful to direct the practice in related fields.
