Everett Golson
It's official: Everett Golson is the Irish's starting QB
Aug 23, 2012, 6:54 PM EDT
Brian Kelly met with the assembled media and confirmed what I tweeted this morning: Sophomore Everett Golson will be the Irish's starting quarterback. "It was a tough decision, but Everett won the starting job," Kelly said after practice tonight. "If everything is going the way we planned it, he will play the whole game." Golson's…
Announced or not: Golson is the man for the job
Aug 21, 2012, 11:16 AM EDT
With classes at Notre Dame started and preparation for Navy underway, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly will meet with the assembled meeting for his weekly Tuesday press conference at noon. And while there's no indication that he's ready to name a signal-caller for the season opener against the Midshipmen, it's time to give up…
And so it begins: BK talks 2012 season
Aug 2, 2012, 7:44 PM EDT
Brian Kelly doesn't officially kick off the 2012 football season until tomorrow, when his opening press conference takes place before the start of training camp. But that didn't stop talk of the quarterbacking race from starting early. Joining WSBT's Sportsbeat with Darin Pritchett and Eric Hansen, Kelly answered questions from fans all across the country…
Counting down the Irish: 15-11
Jul 27, 2012, 3:15 PM EDT
Now that we've got our math mistakes cleaned up, let's get back to some analysis of the Top 25 so far. The inclusion of Zeke Motta at No. 25 makes plenty of sense, and if there's a breakout senior waiting to make his name, Motta is a pretty good candidate. Playing in the shadow of…
Irish eyes will be on the quarterbacks
Apr 21, 2012, 12:02 PM EDT
Anyone that expected a tidy conclusion to the open four-man quarterbacking battle taking place under the close watch of Brian Kelly and new offensive coordinator Chuck Martin should've thought twice before making that assumption. With Kelly entering his third year in South Bend, a season that's largely been a sink-or-swim proposition for Irish head coaches,…
Practice Report: Day Five update
Mar 29, 2012, 10:42 AM EDT
With one third of spring practice finished, the team at UND.com gave us a much anticipated update on the quarterback battle, the main storyline of spring practice. With some nice footage of all four quarterbacks competing, it's clear that head coach Brian Kelly and offensive coordinator Chuck Martin are truly going back to the basics…
With redshirt off, intrigue surrounds Golson
Feb 16, 2012, 5:23 PM EDT
Just about every Irish fan wondered what the quarterbacks not on the field could do for the Irish last season. With the depth chart thrown into disarray after two quarters of football, a chorus of support erupted from all corners of ND nation, with calls for Rees, Crist, Hendrix and Golson heard amongst the shouting.…
Five things we learned: Florida State 18, Notre Dame 14
Dec 29, 2011, 11:47 PM EDT
If you could boil down one game to encapsulate a season, you might have something that looks like the Champs Sports Bowl. During Notre Dame's 18-14 loss, the Irish turned just about every conceivable emotion for a football fan on its head– ecstasy to agony, confidence to frustration, bravado to helplessness. At times, the Irish…
Pregame Six Pack: Primetime at Purdue
Sep 30, 2011, 4:14 AM EDT
Four down, eight to go. After digging themselves into an improbable 0-2 hole, the Irish are ready to push their way above .500, a long slog back after two really disheartening losses. They'll have their chance to do it in primetime Saturday night, with the Irish and Boilermakers kicking off at Rose-Ade Stadium at 8:00…
Pregame Six Pack: Running with the Bulls
Sep 2, 2011, 1:34 PM EDT
Are you talked out yet? Between Charlie Brown, Eleven for '11, USF previews, and a nice little sprinkling of recruiting news, it's been a busy week. As we finally complete our crawl to Friday, the pregame heat has been turned up. Literally. It feels like someone left the oven open in the Midwest, and as…
Dayne Crist named Notre Dame's starting quarterback
Aug 23, 2011, 1:00 PM EDT
When Notre Dame takes the field to play South Florida on September 3, they'll do it with Dayne Crist at the helm. After two weeks of solid competition that saw Crist and Tommy Rees separate themselves from sophomore Andrew Hendrix and freshman Everett Golson, head coach Brian Kelly tapped Crist as his starter, in a…
Handicapping playing time for the freshman
Aug 15, 2011, 4:14 PM EDT
Armed with a full 85-man roster and a depth chart that's finally representative of a top 25 college football program, Brian Kelly and the Irish have the luxury of not needing to force freshmen into the lineup this season. That certainly wasn't the case for the Irish last year, where Kelly opened the season with…
Help wanted: All options being explored on punt returns
Aug 8, 2011, 1:51 AM EDT
Being ranked 101st in the nation is never a good thing. But that's what the Irish got out of their punt return unit, the weakest special teams grouping under Mike Elston's watch. Notre Dame failed to create anything in the return game, with Armando Allen's 38-yard return in the season opener against Purdue the only…
Five things we'll learn: Kicking off 2011
Aug 5, 2011, 3:23 PM EDT
As Brian Kelly stepped to the podium this afternoon, it had been 217 days since he led the Notre Dame football team in a contest that mattered. Last we saw Kelly's Fighting Irish, they were embarrassing a former rival in the Sun Bowl, jumping all over a wayward Miami Hurricane squad that was adrift after…
Williams talks Blue-Gold, NFL Draft
Apr 21, 2011, 3:11 PM EDT

What to take from the Blue-Gold game
Apr 19, 2011, 12:51 PM EDT
The 27,863 fans that paid to see the Blue-Gold game in person might be thawed out and dry by now. For the rest of you that either skipped the festivities or watched on TV, trying to quantify what you saw and reach some conclusions might be a little difficult. First, let's cross off a few…
Five things we learned: The 82nd Blue-Gold game
Apr 16, 2011, 6:44 PM EDT
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The good news? Notre Dame won, with the Gold beating the Blue 17-14. The better news? Nobody got hurt. The best news? The kids are going to be alright. If you were looking to draw conclusions after the spring game, you might be out of luck. Like last year, the Irish…
Pregame six pack: Your guide to the Blue-Gold game
Apr 15, 2011, 3:14 AM EDT
As thousands of Irish fans descend on South Bend for the 82nd annual Blue-Gold game (and the first televised nationally — 2:00 p.m. ET on Versus — likely featuring yours truly), here are six tidbits, quick hits, fun facts or leftovers to get you ready for a Saturday of football. 1.Blue-Gold success isn't necessarily an…
Spring practice heads for the home stretch
Apr 11, 2011, 1:29 PM EDT
With the Blue-Gold game set for this Saturday, Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish are down to their final four football sessions until preseason camp in August. Let's take a quick look at a few of the battles that caught our interest: At 'Dog' linebacker, it's a two-man race, with sophomores Prince Shembo and Danny…
Molnar talks QBs
Apr 7, 2011, 3:27 PM EDT
Offensive coordinator Charley Molnar, now with a load slightly lighter thanks to Ed Warinner's promotion to run game coordinator, talked about his quarterbacks yesterday, shedding light on the four-man race this spring. Much was made of the decision to roll four quarterbacks, with Andrew Hendrix and Everett Golson joining part-time starters Dayne Crist and Tommy…
Open practice gives first look at 2011 Irish
Mar 26, 2011, 10:01 PM EDT
With Notre Dame's star-studded coaching clinic providing an open door to over 1,000 high school coaches, it also gave the media the opportunity to get their first unfiltered look at the 2011 Irish football team. In a Loftus Center pushing capacity, Brian Kelly and his coaching staff put the team on display for Urban Meyer,…
Kelly breaks down Day One
Mar 23, 2011, 8:51 PM EDT
After a long wait and quite a bit of recent drama, the Notre Dame football team finally got a chance to hit the field for the first time in 2011, going through their first practice of the spring yesterday in the Loftus Sports Complex. As the assembled media got their first brief look at guys…
A to Z: Your comprehensive spring breakdown
Mar 23, 2011, 11:33 AM EDT
While the Irish were thrown a major curve ball with Michael Floyd's arrest and indefinite suspension the weekend before spring practice was set to start, there's plenty to be excited about as Brian Kelly kicked off the spring season for the Irish Tuesday with some opening comments. For those of you that've been away from…
Friday notes: Temple, recruiters, numbers and more
Feb 18, 2011, 1:55 PM EDT
As we mentioned a few days ago, Notre Dame and Temple have agreed to a three-game series, with the first game of the series coming in 2014 at Lincoln Financial Stadium in Philadelphia. ""It's been nearly 20 years since a Notre Dame football team has played in Philadelphia, so we're excited about the opportunity to…
Montana's departure official, QB depth chart set
Feb 15, 2011, 5:47 PM EDT
With Luke Massa transitioning to wide receiver, the Irish have finally settled on a four-man depth chart at quarterback, after Nate Montana officially enrolled at University of Montana, according to The Missoulian. "He's admitted as a student, and he started classes today," athletic director Jim O'Day told the paper. "Then I would assume he's a…

Getting WiredThe brain circuitry needed to learn language is in place at birth, but the "wiring" hasn't been hooked up yet. For that to happen, neurons must fire over and over again to strengthen connections called synapses. This is where parents and caretakers play a crucial role: Some scientists speculate that what detonates these charges is repeated auditory, verbal, and sensory experience. You say your baby's name, and your baby hears you. Zap. You smile at your baby, and your baby smiles back. Zap. Do this a thousand times, and with each repetition the faint threads of new connections are fortified in your infant's brain until they're like steel cable. Synapses multiply steadily between 9 months and 2 years old. Then, once the developmental synapses required for early language learning are no longer needed, huge numbers of them wither away.
To compensate for the fact that their linguistic circuits aren't in full working order for at least a year, babies have certain perceptual abilities that help them recognize elements of language -- even before they're born. Peter Jusczyk, a professor of psychology and cognitive science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and author of The Discovery of Spoken Language, says that babies' exposure to speech while in the womb actually affects how they react to language after they're born. "We know that infants are sensitive to rhythms and that newborns can differentiate between the mother's language and a foreign language," he says. What they're picking up on is the musicality of the language they've grown accustomed to hearing during their nine-month gestation. "If you listen to a person talking through a wall, what you hear are rhythms and intonation patterns. That's what comes through in the womb," Jusczyk says.
Along with French colleague Jacques Mehler, Jusczyk played tapes of French and Russian to 4-day-old French babies. In order to hear the voices, the newborns had to suck on their pacifiers. When the voice was in their native language, they sucked harder; when it wasn't, they sucked less. Even when the words were electronically filtered to muffle pronunciation, the infants were still more interested in the melody of their mother tongue.

Tooth Decay HELP
I'm 19 years old, and I have tooth decay on two of my teeth, however one is more...
Posted by
I'm 19 years old, and I have tooth decay on two of my teeth, however one is more noticeable than the other. [br>[br>Here is a picture of it-
[br>[br>I am posting this question with a picture after I brushed my teeth and now both teeth seem to have decay, I am far more concerned with the one on the right, but still about the one on the left. Also, there has been very very minor decay on one of my front teeth for years. [br>[br>My question is, what will the dentist have to do to help it? Will he be forced to pull it, or can he cap it? [br>[br>My final question is, how can I treat this from getting worse? [br>I'm currently waiting on the dentist to return my phone call trying to set an appointment, I'm not sure when I will be able to see the dentist but it should only be a couple weeks at most, if I stop drinking soda, and only drink water will this help? I brush twice a day, I do not floss or use mouth rinse so I'm unsure of how this got so severe, that tooth has had minor decay for years but only the past week has it gotten worse. My mother told me that her and my grandmother have some disease that causes their teeth to rot, I'm not sure if this is affecting me or not. [br>[br>However I am very concerned about this. I'm sorry for the lengthy question, but if someone could guide me in the right direction in terms of how to help this and what to expect from the dentist, I would very much appreciate it.

Liquid Soap?
just1morehostaNovember 28, 2009
Have any of you made a good liquid soap?
I have the book,but it sounds so complicted.Just wondering if any of you have made it,and was it easy?
Was it clear,or milky looking?
I really want to try this,any ideas?Thank you
That depends on how you want to make it. If you want to make it from scratch, it is kind of like making Cold Process soap bars. So if you find that too complex (as I do) it may not be for you. But converting an existing bard of natural soap into liquid is much easier. There are loads of recipes on the net.
I must admit I haven't tried this yet, but the recipes look simple enough that I probably will.

BROOKS, Alberta – XL Foods, Inc. admitted there were problems with its food safety processes and detailed corrective actions the company is taking — which includes installing a remote video auditing system (RVA).
"We believed XL Foods was a leader in the beef processing industry, with our food safety protocols, but we have now learned that it is not enough," the company said in a statement. "We take full responsibility for our plant operations, and the food it produces, which is consumed by Canadians from coast to coast.
"We are doing everything we can to take the lead in an enhanced, comprehensive food safety program at our plant."
Prevention, process verification and correction, response and product control are areas the company said required improvements. The plant will operate under an intensified and enhanced testing protocol in which meat will be quarantined until tests for E. coli are complete and results have been analyzed, the company said. Tests can take up to 18 hours to complete.
"The plant will also include remote video auditing to significantly inform our supervisory oversight as we become the first Canadian business to use this 21st century technology in our food safety program," the company said.
Mt. Kisco, NY-based Arrowsight confirmed the company is providing the RVA technology. Arrowsight is a developer of software programs designed to provide remote video monitoring and auditing of food safety and animal handling practices at meat processing operations throughout the US.
Additional measures XL Food is taking include:
• Extending high pressure, hot water wash intervention and increasing monitoring of this system;
• Redesigning the company's training program to ensure high-quality and consistent training for management and employees; and
• Adding quality control personnel to each shift with primary duties to monitor all sanitary dressing programs and practices.
"These changes, in addition to others, when fully integrated into our existing monitoring and statistical process control programs, will allow us to improve the decision-making in our prevention program," the company said. "When we re-open our plant under direction from the CFIA, we will start with limited production runs with intensified testing protocols.
"We will work collaboratively with the 48 CFIA inspectors who work at XL Foods facility to ensure something like this never happens again."

Higher Education Higher Education is Big Business In the Fall of 2009 7.7 million students were enrolled in public universities and 4 year colleges.1 These institutions spent $225.36 billion, or $36,707 per full time equivalent student (FTES) in the 2008-2009 academic year. Not only is public higher education expensive, it is getting more expensive all of the time. From 2003-4 to 2008-9 expenditure per FTES increased by 21.6%. The annual rate of increase in expenditure/FTES was almost 5% greater than the annual rate of increase in the general price level. Tuition is on the Rise Tuition revenue is not the only source of revenues colleges and universities use to cover their costs. They have access to government grants, endowment income, funded research activities, revenues from auxiliary enterprises, such as athletic events, student housing and food services, etc. In 2008-2009 tuition and fees only accounted for 20% of the total revenues of public, 4 year institutions. This was a smaller percentage of revenues than was provided by appropriations by state governments directly to these institutions. Nevertheless, while tuition represents only a fraction of the revenues received by public universities and 4 year colleges, tuition rates at these institutions have risen more rapidly than the consumer price index for the past three decades. This is placing a significant hurdle in front of children of families of modest means, even as the job market for people who lack a college degree has gotten progressively worse. As of now, however, increases in tuition have not reduced the percentage of recent high school graduates who are attending our colleges and universities. Because they are not private enterprises with stockholders who are interested in how much surplus revenue they can generate and distribute in profits, universities and colleges do not necessarily set their tuition charges and admission policies to maximize the total net income they can derive from educating undergraduates. Indeed, the fact that enrollments have not declined as tuition rates have risen is a clear indicator that colleges and universities can secure more net income, if need be, from increasing their tuition rates further. Of course, colleges and universities compete for students. They are concerned with how their charges affect their ability to attract the kind and number of students they wish to have. So competition prevents any one institution from charging whatever it wants. But when there is a change in policy that 1 Another 5.2 million were enrolled in private 4 year universities and colleges. affects the over-all market for higher education then all institutions are likely to alter their tuition rates in the same direction. So, when governments reduce their appropriations for public universities, and increase scholarship, loans and other student aid, as they have been doing, it is not surprising that public universities increase their tuition rates. Is Undergraduate Instruction A "Cash Cow"? State universities do not simply educate undergraduates. They are major centers of research and of graduate training. From 2000 to 2008 R&D expenditures at universities and colleges grew from $3.01 billion to $5.9 billion, or at an average rate of growth of 6.95%/year. 2 It is not only funded research that is increasing. Much of the research done by regular, tenure stream faculty is not financed by external grants. Indeed, in many disciplines only a very small portion of the scholarly research done is externally financed. At research universities there has been a decrease in the percentage of regular faculty time devoted to classroom instruction and a commensurate increase in time devoted to research that is not externally funded. So, some of the increased cost per student is attributable to the research activities of our public universities. This raises the question as to whether public universities have been using their undergraduate programs as 'cash cows' that subsidize graduate training and research. Just how much it costs a university to operate its undergraduate program is not an easy question to answer. The reason for this is that at universities tenure stream faculty are expected to be engaged in both teaching and scholarly research. Tenured members of the faculty provide the leadership in their respective departments. They can only be dismissed for cause, or if the department with which they are associated is closed for financial reasons. Those individuals who are eligible for tenure, but not yet tenured, have several years to demonstrate that they are recognized within their discipline as scholars of some prominence. Those who fail to do so are dismissed from the faculty. That is, they must 'publish or perish'. Tenure stream faculty represent the core of a university's faculty. The requirement that tenure stream faculty both teach and conduct research reflects an assumption that the quality of the educational experience of undergraduates is enhanced by exposure to scholars who are actively engaged in research. But, because promotion and receipt of outside offers depend upon research records, faculty members have incentive to engage in research that is quite separate from its contribution to the education of undergraduates. The research conducted by faculty presumably contributes to the quality of the education of undergraduates. How much it contributes is an unanswered question. The decline in the participation of tenure stream faculty in classroom instruction has been offset by the increased use of adjunct faculty who may be hired by the course or by the term. There is also increased reliance on graduate students as instructors in undergraduate classes and increases in use of very large lecture classes for instruction of first year courses. So, the direct exposure of undergraduates to research-active faculty at our research universities has declined over time. Of course, undergraduates may be the indirect beneficiaries of the presence of the research 2 http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf10311/pdf/tab1.pdf being conducted by the faculty via exposure to graduate students who are working at the direction of their professors. In addition, the prestige of a university is enhanced by the research its faculty conducts and by the national standing of its faculty within their respective disciplines. Schools proudly advertise Nobel Prize winners and members of National Academies who are, or have been on their faculty. The prestige, or reputation, of a university is important to potential students. They expect to derive some benefit from being known as a graduate of a particular university. People are clearly willing to pay more to attend a more prestigious institution than a less prestigious one. Within Pennsylvania, for example, institutions that are part of the Pennsylvania System of Higher Education, are primarily teaching institutions whose faculty have large teaching loads and who do little, or no research. The Pennsylvania State University is, by contrast, a highly ranked research university. Penn State competes with universities that are part of the Pennsylvania System of Higher Education for students. It is able to attract students even though its tuition and fees for in-state students is approximately double that of universities in the State University System. Since universities compete for students, they have the incentive to expend resources on faculty who will enhance the reputation of the institution, and to provide faculty with the opportunity to engage in research that will further add to the reputation of the university. Does the higher tuition and fees that research universities charge reflect a higher cost of producing the kind of education undergraduates get at a research university? Or does it simply reflect the value that people place on being associated with a prestigious institution, independent of the quality of the education they actually receive? For an individual who chooses to attend a research university the answer to this question may not matter. For the individual, what matters is the value of the package, the education combined with the prestige associated with being a graduate of that university. The two things come as a bundle to be presented to potential employers. Employers, in turn, can evaluate some aspects of a potential employee's education directly. But the institution from which the applicant graduated also carries information of significance to an employer about the unobservable characteristics of the job applicant. Therefore, a potential student might not believe s/he will get a better education at Penn State than at one of the State System universities, but will still choose to pay the higher tuition at Penn State because Penn State graduates have typically earned more money.34 3 While the student may be unconcerned whether it is the quality of the education or the value of being associated with a prestigious institution that increases the market value of graduating from a particular institution, as we will discuss later, society ought not to be indifferent. 4 The University of Florida has a SAT score cut-off for admissions. Hoekstra found that individuals who were admitted to the University of Florida with an SAT score just above the cut-off earned about 20% more than individuals who had SAT scores just below the cut-off and attended one of the 5 next most prestigious florida state supported universities. Mark Hoekstra, "The Effect of Attending the Flagship State University on Earnings," Review of Economics and Statistics, Nov. 2009, pp 717-724 Pursuing Excellence: A Rat Race Administrators in higher education are motivated to pursue excellence, to have their institution be a "leader in education". The degree of excellence achieved by a university is reflected in its status in the educational hierarchy. There are good economic reasons for a university to "pursue excellence". Because potential students do not have the ability to determine just how good an education they will receive at one university relative to another, they use the prestige of the university as an indicator of its quality. Universities, in turn, have a greater incentive to direct their resources to those activities that will enhance their prestige than they would if students could accurately judge the quality of the education they receive. A school which can raise its attractiveness to students by improving its rankings on various external measures can, in turn, become more selective in its admission process. Schools that are successful in admitting students of higher average ability will, in turn, make its graduates more attractive to potential employers, further enhancing its prestige and the value of the school to potential applicants. The better the income earning prospects of its graduates, the more likely is the school to receive financial support from its alumni. Alumni support, in turn, is an indicator of quality that other potential donors consider. So, through various channels, investments that universities make in research which may not have any direct effect on the quality of the education their undergraduates receive, provides both additional financial resources to the university and indirect benefits to its students through their identification with the institution.56 5 Most universities operate their intercollegiate athletics programs at a loss. The race to field nationally ranked teams, even if inter-collegiate athletics do not pay for themselves directly is based on the same argument as seeking excellence through greater emphasis on internally funded research. These programs enhance the university's visibility and attractiveness to students and alumni donors which, in turn, provide additional revenues to the institution. 6 The logic of making investments in activities that raise the prestige of the university is akin to what George Akerlof characterized as participation in a rat race. See, George Akerlof, "The Economics of Caste and of the Rat Race and Other Woeful Tales," Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol 90, No. 4, Nov. 1976, pp. 599-617 The more prestigious a university the more selective is its admission standards. Consequently, in the face of significant growth in the number of high school graduates who are seeking post- secondary education, there has been relatively little growth in undergraduate enrollments at private universities and public research universities. The graph below indicates that the greatest growth in enrollment is in community colleges. This reflects a trend that started in the 1980s with the rise in the so-called college wage premium.7 Associated with this trend is a greater degree of sorting out of students by ability. The most able students are increasingly concentrated in the most selective institutions while the least able students are increasingly concentrated in the least selective institutions. The more selective is the admissions policy of a college, the higher is both the expenditures made per student and the amount of expenditures not covered by tuition. For students who attend the most selective institutions, the percentage of costs covered by tuition is quite low. Similarly students at community colleges or the least selective public colleges and universities have much of their costs covered by non-tuition subsidies. But for students who do not attend either of these types of institutions, tuition covers a majority of the costs of the institutional resources devoted to their education.8 Source:Trends in College Spending 1998-2008, A Report of the Delta Cost Project 7 The college wage premium is the difference in expected life-time earnings of people with a college degree and the who only have a high school degree. 8 See, Caroline Hoxby, "The Changing Selectivity of American Colleges", Journal of Economic Perspectives , 23, No.4 (Fall 2009) The likelihood that a student who enrolls in a post-secondary program will get a BA degree varies markedly with the type of program the student first enters. Not surprisingly, Bound et al found that among a sample of 1992 high school graduates who entered a 2 year post-secondary program less than 20% had received a BA degree within 8 years. What is surprising is the difference in completion rates between those who start at a top-15 public university and those who entered a non-top 15 public university. More than 90% of those who entered a top 15 completed college within 8 years. But only 54% of those who entered a non-top 15 public university received a degree within 8 years. Top tier public universities had significantly lower student/faculty ratios than did non–top 15 public universities. At top tier public universities the completion rates increased and the student/faculty ratio decreased from 1972 to 1992, while the opposite was true of the non-top tier public universities. Therefore, some of the difference in completion rates may be attributable to differences in resources/student. Bound, et al, also found that an increased percentage of those entering college in 1992 had relatively low math achievement test scores in their senior year than did the 1972 cohort. They estimated that increased enrollment of this type of student could account for about 50% of the decrease in college completion rates. With rising tuition and less rapidly rising family incomes, the financial burden of college education was (and still is) growing. They found students at non-top tier institutions responding to financial constraints by significantly increasing their hours of employment. They report, "While the magnitude of the effect of increased employment on degree progress is hard to ascertain with precision, the direction of the effect is unambiguous."9 Undoubtedly, the continuing stratification of higher education, budgetary pressures on state allocations to higher education, and the growing gap between the economic prospects of college graduates and high school graduates will produce an increased concentration of all college applicants in less selective public universities and two year institutions where completion of studies is both less likely and less rewarding than in our top-tier universities. Should Government Subsidize Higher Education? In the United States, government subsidization of higher education originated with the Morrill Act of 1862. That Act gave to every state that had remained in the Union a grant of 30,000 acres of public land for every member of its congressional delegation to be used to establish colleges in engineering, agriculture and military science. After the Civil War this program was extended to the southern states. These colleges expanded into our state university system. The basic economic arguments made for government subsidization of education are two: (1) Increased levels of education raise an individual's productivity and should be considered an investment. However, because individuals may lack collateral for a loan they may under-invest in education relative to the level that maximizes the potential social 9 Bound, J.., Lovenheim, M. and S. Turner, "WHY HAVE COLLEGE COMPLETION RATES DECLINED? AN ANALYSIS OFCHANGING STUDENT PREPARATION AND COLLEGIATE RESOURCES," http://www.nber.org/papers/w15566 return from all investment opportunities; (2) An increase in the level of education in a community increases the rate of technological progress in the community, so that such investments generate social returns that are greater than the returns to those individuals who have invested in their own educations. Since 1980 there has been a steady increase in the college wage premium, or difference between the lifetime earnings of college graduates and high school graduates. Goldin and Katz attribute the increase in this premium to a slowdown in the rate of growth of the supply of college educated Americans relative to the growth in demand for people with a college degree. 10 Peter Orzag, when he was Director of the Office of Management and Budget, argued that this slowdown in the rate of growth in average educational attainment is a problem both because it attenuated economic growth and because it increased economic disparities among Americans.11 The federal government 's response has been to promote policies that would increase the dollar amount of government Pell grants available to individuals who are enrolled in post-secondary programs and whose families meet the income limits. Is this a worthwhile public investment? Alison Wolf, in a book with the provocative title, "Does Education Matter? Myths About Education and Economic Growth," argues in the negative. She notes the case for public financing of higher education rests upon the assumption that individuals who get post-secondary degrees generate benefits to society that are not reflected in the higher incomes that individuals who hold such degrees can command in the workplace. This assumption implies both that (1) additional years of schooling increase an individual's productivity and (2) the increase in an individual's productivity when that individual completes more years of schooling is smaller than the expected increase in output society can produce as a result of that individual's additional years of schooling. Wolf argues that neither of these implications is supported by strong empirical evidence. Her challenge to the first assumption rests on the argument that employers are interested in innate, but unobservable characteristics of job applicants. They know, or believe, that these attributes also contribute to the level of academic achievement that an applicant has attained. Therefore, they use years of schooling completed as a screen to locate applicants with desirable, but not observable attributes which contribute to a worker's productivity. Wolf's argument is that much of the productivity of an individual that is attributed to academic achievement ought, properly, to be attributable to these innate characteristics that have nothing to do with what the individual may have learned in school. Students, in turn, seek ever more education credentials, not to make them inherently better qualified, but rather to be able to pass through the employer's screens. If more education were only a signal that lets innately qualified people pass through an employer's screen then it would generate higher incomes for individuals who pass through the screen, but would not raise total national output. Similarly, attending a more prestigious, higher cost institution might be profitable to an individual if it only serves as a signal of higher ability. The individual benefits from the higher expense, but society would get no additional benefit from the added expense unless the individual becomes more productive by getting more schooling and/or attending a more prestigious school. 10 Cludia Goldin and Lawrence Katz, THE RACE BETWEEN EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY: THE EVOLUTION OF U.S. EDUCATIONAL WAGE DIFFERENTIALS, 1890 TO 2005, NBER Working Paper 12984 11 See, http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/blog/09/04/20/TheCaseforReform inEducationandHealthCare/ Is Schooling Only A Screen? Economists have long been interested in finding ways of factoring out the effects of innate, but unmeasured, attributes on an individual's earnings. One way of doing this is by studying the earnings experience identical twins who completed different years of schooling. This is the approach taken by Orley Ashenfelter and Cecilia Rouse. They find that when statistically appropriate controls are used, there is a strong correlation between the difference in years of schooling of each member of a pair of identical twins and the difference in earnings of the same pair members. Since identical twins share common genetic and familial endowments, this is strong evidence that additional years of schooling produce an increase in an individual's productivity. 12 Similar results are found by Oreopoulos when studying the difference between the earnings of individuals from cohorts of individuals who left school just before and just after a change in laws governing the mandated years of school attendance.13 14 So, the evidence supports the claim that education is not simply an indicator of innate ability. More education enhances productivity. The fact that people with more years of schooling are more productive than people with fewer years of schooling does not mean that everyone should be encouraged to get more schooling. People with more years of schooling are different from people with fewer years of schooling in ways that must be influencing their decisions as to how much schooling to secure. Some individuals who do not choose additional years of schooling beyond high school would undoubtedly make a different choice if they had access to credit to finance the expense. This is an argument for government loan guarantees for those who would otherwise be precluded from making a profitable investment in additional years of schooling. Nevertheless, one must also recognize that post-secondary education, and especially pursuit of a college degree is not necessarily a good investment decision for everyone. It takes both academic ability and personal traits that not all individuals are likely to possess in order to successfully complete a college program of studies. Providing financial incentives to attend college to people who will not successfully complete their program of studies is wasteful.15 It can also increase political pressure on publicly supported institutions to 'water down' their requirements in order to maintain a politically acceptable rate of completion of studies within a four year period. So, a careful balancing of objectives must be made when considering the expansion of public support for investments in post-secondary education. Does Education Increase the Rate of Technical Progress? 12 Ashenfelter, O. and C. Rouse, Income, Schooling and Ability:Evidence from a New Sample of Identical Twins, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 113, No.1 February, 1998, 253-284 13 http://www.nber.org/papers/w10155.pdf 14 I know of no similar studies that effectively identify the effect of quality of education associated with more attending prestigious universities on productivity. 15 While the percentage of high school graduates who enroll in post-secondary education programs has increased, there has been a decline in the percentage of these students who complete their program of studies. For an analysis of the factors contributing to the decline in completion rates see, John Bound, Michael Lovenheim, and Sarah Turner, Why Have College Completion Rates Declined? An Analysis of Changing Student Preparation and Collegiate Resources, NBER Working Paper No. 15566, December 2009 The rate of technical progress depends upon how rapidly new ways of doing things are discovered and upon how rapidly these new ways of doing things are adopted. When a new process is discovered, large profits may be made by early adopters. But these profits will attract additional adopters, expanding output and driving down the price of the product or service being produced. So, ultimately, much of the benefit of the new way of doing things is captured by the consuming public as a whole, rather than by those who invest in the new technology. Therefore, if a better educated population increases the rate of discovery and diffusion of new ways of doing things, investments in education do not simply increase the earning capacity of the individuals who acquire that education. By increasing the rate of technical progress, investments in education also produce benefits that spill over to the population at large. T.W. Schultz was awarded the1979 Nobel Prize in Economics for his work the role of investments in human capital on economic development. He was among the first economists to emphasize the productivity of investments in education. He argued that the value of education came from its enhancement of problem solving abilities, and coping with new situations. For this reason, he was particularly interested in how the level of education of individuals affected the speed with which they adopted new techniques, particularly in farming. His interpretation of the evidence from a number of studies is that " the ability to deal successfully with economic disequilibria is enhanced by education and that this ability is one of the major benefits of education accruing to people privately in a modernizing economy."16 While Schultz focused on the role of the level of education in the general population in speeding the process of adoption of new techniques, modern theories of economic growth have emphasized the effect of the level of education in the population on the rate at which new techniques of production are discovered. Since ideas are easily copied and built upon, the producer of a new idea cannot reap all of the benefit of its discovery. This provides a second channel through which the education of individuals is assumed to produce benefits that extend beyond the increased income secured by any individual who becomes better educated. While one can think of good reasons why increasing the average level of education in the population produces gains beyond the increase in income of those in who become better educated, Wolf asks "Where's the evidence?". It is Wolf's position that, as a matter of fact, there is no evidence that significantly increasing the percentage of the population that has a post-secondary education would benefit anyone other than those people who receive the additional years of schooling. Since we are talking about increasing the rate of productivity growth by raising the average level of education, we must look for the effect at the level of national data. This makes it very difficult to find convincing evidence that either refutes, or supports Wolf's position. It is true that nations with high rates of growth of income tend to have populations in which the average number of years of schooling has been increasing. But one would expect people to spend more on education as their incomes increased. So it is difficult to identify the direction of causation. Furthermore, the concept of a year of schooling is ambiguous when making either cross-national comparisons or comparisons at different points in time within a given country. It is implausible to claim that a year of schooling in Africa is the same as a year of schooling in Southeast Asia, or than a year of schooling in either of these areas is comparable to a year of schooling in South America. Similarly, a year of high school is not necessarily comparable to a year of college. But an increase in the average number of years of schooling in the United States in 1900 would mean an increase in the percentage of people who go to high school, while in 2000 it would mean an 16 Schultz, T.W., 1975. The value of the ability to deal with disequilibria. Journal of Economic Literature 13, 827-846 increase in the percentage of people who go to college. . So, the question as to the empirical significance of the spillovers of the education of an individual to the productivity of other individuals is far from settled. 17 This raises the obvious question as to whether a nation should expand its financial commitment to higher education on the basis of an expectation of getting a productivity growth boost for which there is little evidence. 17 See, A. Krueger and M. Lindahl, "Education for Growth: Why and for Whom?, Journal of Economic Literature, December 2001

Improved Real-Ear Test for Stereophones
An improved real-ear test method has been developed for measurements on high-fidelity headphones. Tests of five high-quality stereophones were made using three couplers, and results are compared to real-ear measurements. Measurements of concha sound pressure response versus frequency were made in a listening room using human subjects. Frequency response requirements for headphones are established as the headphone electroacoustical transfer (HEAT) curve. A personal equalization procedure (PEP) for high-fidelity headphones is discusses as well as requirements for such equalizers.

It's a distressing figure that shines a most unflattering light on affairs here in the United States. According to recent statistics, those participating in the food stamp program, or SNAP outnumbered the number of women who worked full-time, year-round in the United States in 2012.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to data from the Department of Agriculture and the Census Bureau, in any given month of 2012, there were 46,609,000 people participating in the food stamp program, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This stands in stark contrast with the 44,059,000 women who worked full-time, year-round in 2012. According to figures proffered by the Census Bureau's report on Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States, for each woman who worked full-time, year-round in 2012, there was slightly more than 1 other person collecting food stamps.
The average number of people on food stamps last year increased to 47,636,000. (The Census Bureau will not publish its report on Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage for 2013, which includes the data on women working full-time, until September.)

In the meantime, the Department of Agriculture's Web site lists the annual average number of food stamps participants going back to 1969. There were only 2,878,000 people on food stamps last year. Since then, food stamps participants have increased by 44,758,000 ... or about 1,552 percent.
There were only 15,678,000 women who worked full-time, year-round in the United States in 1969. Through 2012, their numbers had increased by 28,381,000, or about 181 percent.
Since the way back years of 1969, there have been three years when the number of Americans taking food stamps outnumbered the women who worked full time, year-round. In 1976, there were 18,549,000 food stamps participants, and only 18,372,000 women working full-time. In 2011, there were 44,709,000 food stamp participants and 43,702,000 women who worked full-time.
To date, the years of 2011 and 2012 are the only back-to-back years on record when the number of Americans taking food stamps outnumbered the women working full-time year-round.

replacing subfloor
analogmusicmanMarch 8, 2014
as you can see in the pic,I've cut out some of the plywood subfloor in my kitchen to make room for new wiring. it looks like the subfloor was first glued down with some black stuff (to prevent creaking maybe?) and then nailed down. my question is simply if I should put something like "liquid nails" down on the joist tops before screwing down the piece of subfloor I'm replacing.
thanks for the response handymac. yes,I was planning to put plenty of "blocking" and some "sistering" in a few places so the subfloor will be good and strong. yes,screws are the way to go. will use lots of them all over the floor to prevent sqeaking under the new engineered wood floor.

Gallery: Living Growing Root Bridges Are 100% Natural Architecture
In the forests of Meghalaya, India, the War-Khasis people have discovered a patient way of crossing the many rivers of their wet region. By guiding the roots of an abundant species of rubber tree, they were able to create a living system of bridges that are in some cases over one hundred feet long and can support the weight of 50 people!
This graceful solution came from a people who saw a problem and solved it using their surrounding environment. The roots are woven and guided in hollowed out betel nut trunks until they reach and grab onto the opposite banks. Over time these root systems become strong enough to support the daily movement of people across the rivers.
The bridges are alive and grow stronger with time, repairing themselves and solidifying their users' relationships with the earth. We hope you enjoy this inspiring glimpse at a solution that is truly in harmony with nature.
