Senator Stabenow unveils initiative to help train skilled workers
U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
Caroline MacGregor
September 4, 2013 | WGVU
Senator Debbie Stabenow's
New Skills for New Jobs Act
is designed to help community colleges partner with local businesses to train workers for new high-skilled jobs.
Making the announcement at Grand Rapids Community College's Leslie E. Tassell M-TEC, the Senator said her bill includes a federal match to double the number of workers and businesses that can participate in the Michigan New Jobs Training Program.
The community college will be reimbursed with federal dollars each quarter. By matching the state contribution generated from the new worker's income tax payments, the college will be compensated faster, increasing the number of eligible companies and workers.
The overall hope is that other states will follow Michigan's lead and develop similar job training programs to help create jobs across the country.
"When I ask employers what it is you need, the very first thing I hear is - a skilled workforce - we're creating jobs but we can't find the people to fill the jobs. The jobs are changing and we need to match up the jobs with the skills of individuals."
Senator Stabenow says The New Skills for New Jobs Act will leverage successful job training partnerships between community colleges and local businesses to close the skills gap to help workers find good jobs sooner.
Grand Rapids Community College has received almost $30 million in Michigan New Jobs Training program funding to train more than 45 hundred workers at 10 companies. The program has proven successful: in Michigan, 44 local partnerships have resulted in the training of nearly 10 thousand workers for high-skill jobs. Last year alone the partnerships accounted for 76 million in additional wages and salaries for Michigan workers.

I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations. Mitt Romney's bold choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate ensures that an exchange of correspondence between the Cardinal of New York and the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will now become a part of framing the issues in what promises to be one of the most important Presidential contests in U.S. history. The principles of Catholic Social Teaching and their application have now entered the 2012 campaign.

NORFOLK, VA. (Catholic Online) - I just returned from the Romney/Ryan campaign event in Norfolk, Virginia. My first experience was complete surprise! The crowd was massive, enthusiastic and hopeful. I don't know what I expected - but what I experienced far exceeded those expectations.
When Presidential candidate Mitt Romney approached the podium and began to speak, he was warm, sincere, comfortable and confident. In fact, he was, "presidential" in his demeanor. He was introduced by the Governor of Virginia, Bob McDonnell, whose gifts continue to mature in office. I could not help but think that I was listening to Governor McDonnell that I was listening to the next Attorney General of the United States - if Mitt Romney is elected to the presidency in November.
However, it was Romney's introduction of his Vice Presidential selection which wowed the crowd. Here is an excerpt from his remarks: "Today we take another step forward in helping restore the promise of America. As we move forward in this campaign and on to help lead the nation to better days, it is an honor to announce my running mate and the next Vice President of the United States: Paul Ryan."
"Paul Ryan is a leader. His leadership begins with character and values. And Paul is a man of tremendous character, shaped in large part by his early life. Paul's father died when he was in high school. That forced him to grow up earlier than any young man should. But Paul did, with the help of his devoted mother, his brothers and sister, and a supportive community. And as he did, he internalized the virtues and hard-working ethic of the Midwest..."
"He does not demonize his opponents. He understands that honorable people can have honest differences. And he appeals to the better angels of our nature. There are a lot of people in the other party who might disagree with Paul Ryan; I don't know of anyone who doesn't respect his character and judgment."
"Paul is in public life for all the right reasons - not to advance his personal ambitions but to advance the ideals of freedom and justice; and to increase opportunity and prosperity to people of every class and faith, every age and ethnic background. A faithful Catholic, Paul believes in the worth and dignity of every human life. With energy and vision, Paul Ryan has become an intellectual leader of the Republican Party. He understands the fiscal challenges facing America: our exploding deficits and crushing debt - and the fiscal catastrophe that awaits us if we don't change course..."
Governor Romney ended with these words, "Today is a good day for America. And there are better days ahead. Join me in welcoming the next Vice President of the United States - Paul Ryan" and the massive crowd exploded in uproarious and sustained applause. That, I also did not expect.
As my readers know, I supported the candidacy of a friend whom I still believe would be a great President, Rick Santorum. However, when he withdrew from the race, I made clear in my writing that I would do everything I can to keep the current president from winning reelection.
That is because I believe that President Obama is the most Anti-Life President we have ever had. In addition, his hostility toward the Church is increasingly evident. Finally, I believe his policies have been a massive failure on almost every front.
I once again write this article as a private citizen. I am expressing my own personal opinion.
I believe Mitt Romney is correct in his assessment of this gifted man. He is a talented public servant, a truly good family man, a faithful, genuinely Pro-Life Catholic and, as I found out today, much, much more. This man is a tremendous communicator. I have never heard him speak in public and I was truly impressed.
When Governor Romney called Congressman Ryan up to the podium, he mistakenly referred to him as "the next President of the United States". He quickly returned to correct the gaffe. However, as Congressman Ryan spoke, I actually wondered if the mistake may someday prove to have been accurate. Ryan's sincerity, down to earth demeanor, warmth and believability reminded me of a young Ronald Reagan. This man is a gifted communicator.
The first decision made by the 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney,choosing Paul Ryan as his running mate, was bold and brilliant. I know there are many who will disagree with me.
The spin has already begun, even in Catholic circles. Part of that spin will be to attempt to argue that Paul Ryan, as a Catholic, does not support the social doctrine of his own Church. I contend that assessment is inaccurate. Clearly, he is unquestionably Pro-Life and Pro-Marriage and family. He is also a strong defender of the first freedom, religious freedom.
The argument with Paul Ryan will come over his economic positions. I simply encourage my readers - be careful of the caricatures of Paul Ryan and his positions. Find out for yourself. Listen to the man. Read his well reasoned efforts to apply the social doctrine of the Catholic Church by exercising his own prudential judgment. Compare it to the Social Teaching. You can find it in the Catholic Catechism and compiled in the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Buy the book and study it! Be wary of the self styled 'experts" and make up your own mind.
In June of 2011 then Archbishop (now Cardinal) Timothy Dolan, the President of the US Bishops Conference, and Congressman Paul Ryan exchanged letters which I claimed in an article back then would "most certainly have an impact in the upcoming 2012 Presidential race." I had no idea how accurate my prediction would be.
Now, Paul Ryan is the nominee of the Republican Party for the second highest office in the nation, Vice President. He not only knows Catholic Social Doctrine, he maintains that he actively seeks to integrate the principles it offers into his own public service and the policy proposals he offers.
The Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church confronts what Pope Benedict properly called the "Dictatorship of Relativism" even before he assumed the Papal office. It insists there are unchangeable truths which are revealed by the Natural Law, can be known through the exercise of reason and should inform the social order in every just society.
At the foundation of those truths is the dignity of every human person at every age and stage. To be Pro-Life is NOT to be "single issue" in your political positions; it is about having a world view. It is the dignity of the human person which requires a respect for every human life whether that life be in the first home of the womb, a wheelchair, a jail cell, a hospital room, a hospice, a senior center or a soup kitchen.
Another one of these truths is that marriage is between one man and one woman, intended for life, and ordered toward the bearing and raising of children in the family. Marriage is not some social construct which can be redefined by courts or legislatures. It is the foundation for family and family is the first society, first church, first school, first economy, first government and first mediating institution. The first community which humanizes and civilizes all of us is the family.
Another is that all human persons created in the Image of God are created for relationship and called to human community. We can never fully experience human flourishing outside of social relationships. These relationships are perfective of our human person because we are by nature - and grace - made for these relationships. Catholic Social Thought does not begin with the individual but with the family. The social doctrine affirms our obligation in solidarity to one another. We are our brother/sister's keeper.
The social doctrine rejects a notion of "freedom" which begins and ends with the isolated, atomistic, person as the measure of its application. Authentic human freedom must be exercised within a moral constitution. We will only grow in freedom when we choose what is good and what is true. Otherwise "freedom" becomes a counterfeit and enslaves us, as individuals and as nations.
The social doctrine offers principles to help us order our economies. It does not propose any particular economic theory. It insists that every economic order be at the service of the human person, human freedom, human flourishing and the family. We are to give a love of preference to the poor, recognizing our solidarity with them. However, this call to solidarity is to be applied through the application of the principle of subsidiarity, rejecting all forms of dehumanizing collectivism, either of the left or the right.
The market economy has been affirmed in recent social teaching - when properly understood and morally structured. However, the Catholic Church stood against the materialism of the atheistic Marxist system and now properly cautions Nations which have adopted a form of liberal capitalism of the dangers of "economism" or materialism which promotes the use of persons as products and fails to recognize the value of being over acquiring.
The truths and principles contained within Catholic social doctrine are not merely "religious" positions, in the sense that only religious people need assent to them. They are revealed by the Natural Law and can be known through the exercise of reason. The truths are true for all people and for all time. The Church calls us to offer them as leaven to be worked into the loaf of human culture.
The April 29, 2011 letter from now Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan to Cardinal Dolan can be read here. Cardinal Dolan's response can be read here. Read them both for yourself.
The Congressman's budget proposals were objected to by some, including some faithful Catholics. What made this letter important is that the Congressman explained the rationale behind his proposals within the framework of a sincere effort to apply the principles found within Catholic Social Thought. He cited the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church throughout the letter referring to both the obligation of solidarity and its application in light of the principle of subsidiarity.
Archbishop Dolan's response began with these words: "Thank you for your kind and enlightening letter of April 29, 2011. I deeply appreciate your letter's assurances of your continued attention to the guidance of Catholic social justice in the current delicate budget considerations in Congress. As you allude to in your letter, the budget is not just about numbers. It reflects the very values of our nation. As many religious leaders have commented, budgets are moral statements."
"As is so clear from your correspondence, the light of our faith - anchored in the Bible, the tradition of the Church, and the Natural Law - can help illumine and guide solid American constitutional wisdom. Thus I commend your letter's attention to the important values of fiscal responsibility; sensitivity to the foundational role of the family; the primacy of the dignity of the human person and the protection of all human life; a concrete solicitude for the poor and the vulnerable, especially those who are hungry and homeless, without work or in poverty; and putting into practice the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity, here at home and internationally within the context of a commitment to the common good shared by government and other mediating institutions alike."
I asked in an article I wrote back then whether that exchange of letters between Paul Ryan and now Cardinal Dolan signaled the liberation of Catholic Social Thought from some who seek to use it as a proof text for their own political agendas. Often, that has meant opposition from those who would be considered "on the left" in contemporary political parlance. Sadly, too often those who might be considered "on the right", have simply ignored it.
The principles contained with Catholic Social thought require the exercise of prudential judgment in their application. Agree or disagree with Paul Ryan's exercise of his prudential judgment - and his proposed legislative solutions to the current fiscal crisis- he did exactly what a Catholic in public service should do with the Social Doctrine of the Church.
Mitt Romney's bold choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate ensures that the exchange of correspondence between the Cardinal of New York and the Republican Vice Presidential nominee will now become a part of framing the issues in what promises to be one of the most important Presidential contests in U.S. history. The principles of Catholic Social Teaching and their application have now entered the 2012 campaign.

Consider divorce over step kids
Hello everyone. Not a great story teller. I will try to be brief.
I have been married 6 years to a widow with two boys11, 13 I had a daughter of myown 11 and now a son 5. Not even sure were to start. I think I need to leave.
My step sons are not terrible. Good grades and some what well behaved. I feel terrible about even speaking about this. But I have been unhappy for very long now.
Starts out. Ss's are spoiled. If they want something they get it regardless of behavior, not really consequences to any actions. I step in and lay some punishments and rules down to only be undermined by my wife. This happens so often it's sad. So. I gave up. I basically don't get involved unless my son is in bio son is involved. He's 5 so the only time he's involved is when he's being mistreated by his older siblings. ( he's not an angel either). But being hit by a 11 year old is a little much for me.
Now my daughter lives about 30 mins away and hasent stayed a weekend at my home since 3 years ago. Basically my wife who has a history of being phycho went nuts on my daughter once agian. Long story short, cops , court, child services lawyers involved. Nightmare! Out come. Visitation modified. Daughter can't stay for weekends unless she chooses to. And she hasent. So basically I see my daughter every other sat. Fml!
Lately I have just been thinking about how easy my life would be had i just never married my wife. I am walking around telling my self how I hate my life. I feel like I am trapped.
Oh btw. I live in my wife's home. She owned it before meeting me. I repectfully don't want any part of it( its not mine). But I say I I want my own home and she Dosent wanna get a new house. Reasons. Where will most of money come from. And if we did have a home together if I died she would have to leave part to my daughter which means my daughters mother would be involved. So basically I hate life right now. Except the other day I took out my daughter and my son together. I felt so in control and free. I thought I could get used to this.
Scraping surface here hope t not to long.
Kind of curious as to why you married someone with a history of being psycho (enjoy living on the edge?) but it does sound like you are unhappy and the differences are unresolvable. If your wife won't come to the party of couples counselling, in your shoes I'd be having a darn good think about cutting my losses. Regain your daughter before it's too late.
too much going on here & only one side of it heard, & everything is someone else's fault.
*Nobody* would want to sell separate property to buy community property.
*Nobody* would want a new spouse to "lay down some punishments" on his/her children.
It's easy to say someone has a history of being psycho, but the story is too general;
police, lawyers, CPS, amended visitation can happen because of any number of reasons.
Once CPS is invited "in", they can't be invited "out", & w've all heard of instances in which CPS is called out of spite.
Your title says the stepsons are the problem, but the post doesn't support that at all.
If you're unhappy, get the heck out.
If you want your own home, buy one.
If your wife really is a nut, file for custody of your son.
Since you now have a son together, you need to carefully think this thru. I could be reading too much into this, but it almost sounds like you're not even in love with your wife anymore. If that's true, you should leave, it's not fair to anyone. Counseling is the first step here though if both of you are willing. I wish you the best.

It's hard to evaluate a GM. But I wouldn't fire him. He hasn't done/not done anything to warrant being on the hot seat.
big deadline acquisitions? check (Hossa, Guerin)
trading strengths for weakness? check (neal, kunitz)
Goes after big time free agents? check (Martin, Parise)
He doesn't overpay for deadline acquisitions (1st for Gaustad? really?), doesn't overpay for FA's (Leino, Gomez). Pens are in a very solid salary cap situation despite having the best core of talent in the league.
IMO his biggest knock is his draft rate. Besides Staal, how many Shero era prospects made the team? Jeffrey and Despres. That's 2 in 6 years. Not impressive.
I also don't think the recent playoff collapses are Shero's fault. 2010, Fleury sucks and Halak and Cammellerri dominate. 2011, Pens are missing Sid and Geno. 2012, Fleury and defense collapse.
IMO, all the pieces are in place. I don't see anything negative within the organization that can be faulted on RS. I would let the entire coaching staff go before Shero.

I usually travel hundreds of kilometers to watch live tennis, so it was a strange feeling to leave home, take the metro, walk about 10 minutes and be there in front of the Stade Pierre Mauroy, ready to attend the much expected Davis Cup final between France and Switzerland.
It's kinda ironic that's the only times I've been to a football stadium were to attend rugby matches (when I was a volunteer for the rugby World Cup in 2007) and tennis matches.
Despite the queue, it took only a few minutes to enter the stadium.
The road to the Davis Cup final has been quite a rollercoaster for me: the excitement when I learned Lille (my hometown) would stage the final, the disappointment when I wasn't able to buy tickets, the relief when I managed to buy tickets (thank you Twitter), the doubts about the visibility from the category 4 seat. But here I am. The court, the crowd, the flags, the atmosphere, as soon as I sat in my place I knew it would be something like I never seen or lived before.
Skip the use
But first, a mini-concert by local band Skip the use. I honestly couldn't care less.
Teams' presentation
First big moment of this historic Davis Cup weekend, the teams presentation. And no surprise, Federer is the most applauded player.
I look at the giant screen and I have a bad feeling: I see Tsonga's face, he looks scared, exactly the same face he had just before his semifinal disaster against Ferrer at Roland Garros last year.
Unfortunately, I was right…
Tsonga vs Wawrinka
3 meters behind the baseline, the French number one can't do anything to counter Wawrinka's powerful grounstrokes. He just can't pull a ball in the court and keeps making errors after errors after errors. A really bad start for Tsonga. Wawrinka wins five straight games to clinch the first set 6-1:
27,432 spectators! The previous record for a tennis match (27,200) had been set in Seville in 2004 for the Davis Cup final between Spain and the USA.
Things look a bit better for Tsonga in the second set, he is more aggressive and Wawrinka starts making a few errors here and there. Second set for Tsonga 6-3, a little hope for the French fans:
Wawrinka breaks in the sixth game of the third set and leads 4-2. Tsonga then saves two set points at 2-5. Tsonga and the French crowd are on fire..
But it only lasts two minutes, the Swiss wins the third set and leads 2 sets to one. An early break for Stan in the fourth set, Tsonga looks resigned and nobody believes in a win from behind. Game, set, match Wawrinka 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-2. Switzerland leads 1-0.
Tsonga's game was bad but his attitude was worst, he kept complaining for nothing, looked at times completely lost, and the only excuse he found for his non-match was that the crowd didn't support him enough. Seriously…
Too much pressure on his shoulders? Too much expectations? Visibly still bothered by his right arm injury (he kept saying "J'y arrive pas" to Clément during the changeovers), he perhaps should have been preserved for Sunday's reverse singles or perhaps Tsonga wanted to play this final at all costs because he missed the Belgrade final in 2010? In any case it is too late to change the course of the final now.
Monfils vs Federer
30 minutes later it's time for Federer and Monfils to enter the court.
There had been much talk about Federer's back injury during the week, his first serve is at 207km/h, the case is closed. A completely different match from the first rubber and a completely different atmosphere: Monfils is on fire from first point on and so is the crowd! First set Monfils 6-1:
He keeps the pressure on Federer in the second set: solid serve, powerful forehands, and 6-4 for Monfils:
Monfils leads two sets to none and I start thinking: please Gael, don't go nuts!, because the last time both players met, at the US Open this year, Monfils led by two sets to none, wasted 2 match points in the fourth set, only to lose in five sets. This time, no regret for the Frenchman who is rock solid on serve: 6-1 6-4 6-3 in less than two hours.
When you watch Monfils playing like that, so focused, you can only ask yourself: what if? What if he had a coach? What if he had a more professional attitude? What if he had taken time to improve his technique. He probably would have been a top 5 and a perennial Grand Slam contender. I guess we'll never know…
It's now time to go home:

After a rough ride from Denver to Breckenridge, (first snow of the season), the rest of the weekend was awesome! Because of the snow from the night before, tee times were delayed to get the snow off the greens. But the experience was well worth the 45 minute wait! My husband and I played the most scenic and varied elevation Elk's course. Beauty with every shot! Snow on the mountain and green, lush grass in town. Make this golf course a must on your bucket list!

The Gist
From Our Editors
Tavares is home to one of cinema's longest-enduring performers. In 1964, this star debuted alongside Robert Redford in This Property Is Condemned, and more and more films would follow that initial role, including True Grit and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? An impressive resume for any actor, but even more so considering this star is over 100 years old. The Orange Blossom Cannonball, appropriately nicknamed "America's movie train," has hurtled down the tracks in classic westerns and other films for half a century, though its roots stretch back much further. The 1907 steam locomotive pulls vintage coaches and a caboose, complete with a potbelly stove made in 1873.
When not sharing screen time with George Clooney or his five identical siblings, the train carries the general public along the banks of Lake Dora. Hours aboard the locomotive seemed ripped from another time?conductors and staff don period costumes, and they spin tales of the train's past as well as the history of the area.

Is the Fury Trait for Andorians Broken / Nonfunctioning?
I've never seen the icon fro this trait pop up as a power when my character went below 50% which makes me suspect that it even works at all. Even worse, like Blasters on City of Heroes, I find that usually (particularly on STF's) my andorian probably is dead if a healer doesn't do some quick work when he gets below 50%. So would this trait even get use? Furthermore, now that the combat is getting made even more peppy in Season 4, is Fury simply a wasted trait altogether? Simply put, its going to be easier to die, and easier to kill in Season 4. If I had my preference, I'd make Fury based on time spent in combat, slowly climbing but never approaching some maximum bonus that it would offer (Much like the Fury bar on Brutes on City of Heroes). I would make a comparison to Champions Online if I could, but my experience with CO is still very minimal. At any regard, the question I have regarding Fury can be boiled down to:
1) Is it currently broken?
2) Is it worthwhile?
3) Is it made completely worthless in Season 4?
I've only noticed the problem now that my Andorian has completed his STF arcs, where I always hammer down a lot of issues with a character mid-admiral.
Whether it's worthwhile or not is up to you, I chose it on my Andorian Tac a long time ago and probably wouldn't choose it if I started over. But I like it on my BOs, even if it is because Andorian BOs don't always have the best traits.
I wouldn't say it was worthless with S4, I'm finding that whilst playing on Tribble my health regularly drops quite low; I seem to spend a lot of time at around %25-%50 so if it does work passively then it'll probably work even better now.
Interesting. I suppose I'll have to wait and see how it will look in Season 4. I am curious if it is functioning though. I love the way my Tellarite gets a little icon for his 'pig headed' trait when its activated, and even how he oinks and squeals with rage every time its activated. I know some people are annoyed by this, but for me I find it particularly comical yet gratifying. Its also wonderful in that it lets me know the power actually works. Maybe they could do something similar, with Andorian style?

Small appliances something else to consdier
Over the last ten years, we have gone through too many toasters and too many coffee pots to make it seem foolish to buy anything but a cheap throwaway. After reading my morning science newsletter, I may have to reconsider. It has been known for many years that it is not safe to heat food in plastic in the microwave due to the transfer of BPA and PCB's. Researchers are now finding that coffee pots with plastic as part of their construction (as are most cheap ones) also can contaminate the coffee with lead, arsenic and trace mercury. I guess that is understandable knowing where they are manufactured and knowing importers really don't care that much for anything but the price. Maybe I'll have to start looking at resale shops for the old style stainless percolators! :-)
I hear you and totally agree. But, but....percolator coffee? Might not be so good, but better than ingesting dangerous chemicals. French press might work too.
Here's a link to one on ebay. The style of those pots was very elegant. My mom used to keep hers so shiny and pretty.
Here is a link that might be useful: coffee pot
One of the big knocks performance-wise on cheapo coffee makers is that they don't get hot enough. Since they don't get anywhere near the boiling point of water, it is not certain if they even get hot enough to trigger any breakdown of their plastic parts.
Percolator coffee is wonderful and makes great hot coffee. French press are only good for a few cups at a time and don't keep coffee hot. I have both a Sunbeam and Farberware electric perk, espresso stove top, and stove top percolator. I fully believe in buying used as much as possible, the materials are much nicer and the design/manufacturing is better too. Only 3 of my 6 coffeemakers are used because it's hard to find them...
catlover: made of metal ? no unfortunately. But Italian manufacturers still make nice metal coffeemakers.

Alicia: "Hey! We're watching a movie!"
Video: "When an authority figure becomes involved with a subordinate, is that sexual harassment?"
Will: "Glad you're not going to jail. Sorry we weren't of more use, but way to take care of that by yourself. You know, when the entire government came after you the other day."
I mean, it's kind of like the whole thing with Caitlin, the storm coming there: We seem to have entered a rule-of-thumb sort of era with this stuff, where it's easier to hide behind slogans than to even admit the possibility of complications or that rules of thumb don't actually work for anything in real life. Is Will preying on Alicia, sexually? No. Is Caitlin using misogyny or something to get ahead? No. But if you asked whether a third-year and a named partner should be dating, you'd automatically say no, and impute a whole irrelevant power structure that isn't in play here.
And what I like about this stuff, what I've always liked about this show, is that it takes those things out of the equation and then looks at the real, organic, actual meat of the situation. Not the slogan, not the rule of thumb, not the hoary old received-wisdom ideas about power dynamics -- the ones that are not only obsolete but woman-hating in their own right, and yet have somehow gotten internalized under the label of "feminism" -- but the actual situation:
Is it okay, for example, for Alicia to be mad at Kalinda for sleeping with Peter and essentially lying about it? A dumbass would say yes, because that's her man. A person of average insight would say no, because Peter's the one that made the call. But the real answer is yes, on the other side of no, because Kalinda was the one that cheated on Alicia and it's not even really about Peter. I feel like that's the telescoping thing that goes on with everything in this show.
So for sexual harassment, it goes: Is it okay for a woman to sleep with her boss? And the stupid older person says no, because that's slutty. An average person says no, because somehow that's him taking advantage of her, in some ill-defined rule-of-thumb way you remember from middle school that involves Annie Potts and Clarence Thomas and whatever else, and even if a woman thinks she's a special case and making the choice for herself, really she's still a victim somehow.
But the real answer is, Let's ask Alicia, because Alicia knows what she's doing, even when she doesn't, and mostly because it's her body and her stuff to decide about, but also because the rest of them are adults: The extent of even Diane exerting her will over any of this is making them watch a movie.

Departments: GMO Traceability–Making it Work
Mad cow disease hit the news again in June, fueling consumer fears about the safety of the food supply chain. Also, a recent report revealed that over a four-year period Swiss biotech firm Syngenta AG sold U.S. farmers an unapproved strain of genetically modified corn seed, which may have entered the food supply and international channels. These two incidents reveal how porous the U.S. agricultural supply system is to contamination. They also highlight the need for robust traceability technologies that...
Departments: New Generation Testing Platforms
In the last few years, technological advancements of DNA detection systems, more commonly known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology, have been remarkable. In fact, parallels can be drawn to the computer industry, where technology that was cutting edge as little as four years ago, barely meets our most basic expectations today.
Departments: Meeting the Need for Speed
Collecting data in a busy lab is always important, and when that lab is testing product for potentially lethal microbes, obtaining accurate data is imperative to public health and commercial success. It is equally important to accurately record, store and report that data.
Departments: Filtration Knocks Out Deadly Bacteria in Nursery
The presence of Enterobacter sakazakii in powdered infant formula has been of serious concern because of recent outbreaks of infectious diseases. The FDA has determined that powdered infant formula has been the source of one-half to two-thirds of the infections caused by this bacterium. One study that sampled 141 cans of various brands of powdered formula concluded that E. sakazakii was present in 14 percent of the samples. In 2002, the FDA recalled 1.5 million cans of powdered infant formula because of...
Departments: Separating the In from the Out
More than the people or the equipment, the one element virtually guaranteed to contact food during processing is the air inside the plant. Indoor air can become the vector that delivers contaminants to food and food contact surfaces. HVAC systems are critical control points (CCPs) in ensuring that food production remains safe from pathogens, allergens and other airborne contaminants.
Departments: Wine Producer Gets Efficient Scheduling with LIMS
The implementation of a new laboratory information management system (LIMS) has expedited sample logging, analysis and results distribution for a large wine producer, saving time and enabling more efficient scheduling. The custom LIMS used in the past was basically an electronic version of the company's previous paper-based system, requiring manual data entry at nearly every stage of the analysis cycle. The company, a customer of PerkinElmer Instruments (Shelton, Conn.) requesting anonymity in for this...
Departments: LIMS Fits Labs
Improving and advancing its information management system was the primary goal for DonLevy Laboratories, a Merrillville, Ind.-based contract microbiology lab and consulting organization dedicated to the food industry. That goal was the primary focus for laboratory manager Peg Exo, who supervises DonLevy's lab operations, including the production of sample labels, bench sheets, analytical reports and invoices. To meet customer expectations, Exo found herself maintaining an increasingly vast collection of...
Departments: Examples from the Real World
Food companies that produce ready-to-eat products face a special challenge related to Listeria testing and prevention. Food quality and safety must be maintained while improving efficiencies and lowering costs at the same time. As environmental Listeria testing requirements increase to meet regulatory pressures, the job has become a little tougher. The biggest challenges with Listeria in a production environment are obvious--assuring you can find Listeria if it is present, eliminating it and preventing its...
Departments: Isolation and Confirmation
In today's modern microbiology laboratory, many scientists recognize the benefits of rapid bacterial testing and identification methods for target pathogens. With the onset of technology, many rapid methods have been developed to significantly reduce time to detection, all the while reducing the cost of the testing process and allowing the release of time-sensitive products more quickly. Imagine a food lab with a time sensitive product. However, due to their traditional Listeria detection method, they...
Departments: Addressing Pesticide Residue
The European Union, through the newly formed European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), is widely recognized as one of the strictest regulatory agencies in the world governing the production and distribution of consumable agricultural products. Whether its zeal is driven by France's long standing claim as the birthplace of gastronomy or the fact that many countries with different food traditions share patch-worked borders or by consumer concern for food safety fueled by well- publicized scares over BSE...

Why Guatemalans, Mexicans and other Latin Americans are coming to the United States and the poor are becoming poorer in their countries.
Progressive Media Advocates
By Caitlin Vega
Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Margo McCall: There's increasing evidence that adopting a plant-based diet is better for human health, the planet, and of course for the more than 9 billion animals that are killed for consumption each year in the U.S alone.

Hi, went on my netbook at the weekend don't usually use it and found this nasty beast of (virus, malware )?. Has anyone any idea how to get rid of it.

You could follow the instructions here.
Or download and run Hitmanpro to see if that removes it.

Same old problem.
System restore to an earlier date is the solution.
Turn off the internet connection.
Start the rig and press F8 new screen follow to set my computer to an earlier time or words to that effect. Use the NSEW [arrow keys] keys on the key board to attain this press enter and merely wait and then allocate the date prior to this incident.
When completed employ a full anti virus and malware programmes and you should be clear.

I've had no luck with System Restore with this virus - the only way I was able to shift it was with a bootable Kaspersky rescue disc. However, there do seem to be several variants of the bug, some of which can be removes with SR, so it's worth a try first.

Hi guys thanks for the interest, I have finished up by using recovery manager and sent it back to factory default settings, there was nothing on it of importance so I cut my losses and got rid of the malware this way. Lucky for me I don't usually use it but if it was my main computer I would be devastated. Thanks for replying

The best way I have found to deal with this infection is to remove the drive from the infected machine, fit it into a suitable usb caddie ,then connect it to a clean machine with an updated copy of Malwarebytes installed , cancel any autorun, after the found new hardware installs drivers , use open or explore to list all the drives , identify the infected drive, use the right mouse click to select "Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware"
It will take quite a long time to do a full scan but you do not have to watch it ,when it is done choose the remove option ,once it is done re-fit the drive it will boot up as normal with no PCEU pop up screens

If people are reading now, I have suffered the new version of this malware. It is very damaging. It now blocks the safe mode completely. After scanning my hard disk in the slave mode, window can no longer start normally. It said the system is impaired. Instead of opening the locked screen, it has been bounced into the log in screen. However, I have never set a log in password for the home use vista. I don't know whether it is the operating system got damaged or the virus is still around? Any help please?

sevenfarn, Hitmanpro (mentioned above by Jock1e) is still good advice. You will need to create separate bootable drive, here is an instruction on how to create it: click here

Mind Wandering: A New Personal Intelligence Perspective
September 25th, 2013 | 5
Once accused of being absent-minded, the founder of American Psychology, William James, quipped that he was really just present-minded to his own thoughts. Most recent studies depict mind wandering as a costly cognitive failure with relatively few benefits (Mooneyham and Schooler, 2013). This perspective makes sense when mind wandering is observed by a third party [...]Keep reading »

My final guest post at the BPS Research Digest went up on Friday, covering recent work by psychologists Crystal Hoyt, Jeni Burnette, and Lisa Auster-Gussman on the motivational implications of formally classifying obesity as a "disease," as the American Medical Association did in July 2013. The good news is that the AMA is right to celebrate the [...]Keep reading »

My name is Roger. I am a freelance UN translator living in Girona. I have recently renovate an old barn in a quiet village of Catalonia, not far from Costa Brava and the Pyrenees. A perfect place to rest and visit many interesting sites.
Roger has completed online and offline ID verification.

It was fantastic. I could not imagine how perfect would be my travel, and the house was a dreaming coming true. It is very clean, the rooms are very big, and the patio is the best place to have your meals.
We had the most wonderful time in this beautifully restored house in the authentically medieval village. The location is serene, the house is beautifully decorated and very spacious with plenty of room for five people that were in our group. Beds are very comfortable with nice and clean linen; well-equipped kitchen; delightful patio. Amazing Lake Banyoles is a short ride away as well as as other area attractions. Special thanks to very helpful, friendly and accommodating hosts!
Una estancia perfecta. La casa es agradable, con todos los detalles, cómoda y con encanto. Roger fue un anfitrión disponible y cuidadoso. El pueblo es bonito, con acceso fácil para realizar excursiones al monte y a la playa. Animales, huerto, un patio en el que leer y silencio que escuchar. Hasta los vecinos son hospitalarios y realzan la simpatía de esta alojamiento. Toda la familia lo pasó estupendamente.
We had a great stay in the barn! Great location on the square in an old village...very quiet! Accommodation was as expected but WiFi did not work at all...disappointing as one need to do research on the area at night. As Jana was not there her father stood in for her and he was a great host.
Thanks very much.
Johan and Welna
PS: Roger's recommendation for a good restaurant in Banyoles was spot on! One of the best meals we had in Spain!
Sometimes we have some troubles with wiffi, tha'ts true, especially for smartphones or Ipods, because the old stone walls of our home are too thick, but not for pcs as we have an electrical connection to Internet that works well if you connect it to your pc. Nevertheless, we have to try to improve it by other means.
Roger is a fantastic host, very kind. The house is lovely and well located, close to beach and cities like Girona and Figueires. Also the house stays nice and cool in the summer heat. would love to go again!
Terrific visit. Roger was super accommodating with check in as he lives next door. He speaks many languages and has nice suggestions for the area. The house is special. Very clean and the bed is one of the few that was solid and quality, the shower too had warm water and real pressure. No a/c and the windows open we were a buffet for the mosquitoes. They had bug spray which was nice but it didn't help. Location was ideal. In a quiet small community of maybe a dozen homes but driving day trips we went to the coast and to France. A haribo factory store nearby was fun. There were even boys in the neighborhood that enjoyed hanging out with our 14 and 17 year old sons. Overall very peaceful and quiet and just what we were looking for. Thanks!
La casa es preciosa y muy acogedora, totalmente reformada manteniendo todo el encanto y los elementos de una casa rústica.
Sin duda una experiencia para repetir.
La casa esta muy bonita y bien cuidada, Jana nos dio lo que necesitabamos espacio :).
Los alrededores muy bonitos.
Un lugar tranquilo, donde disfrutar de los alrededores... Nos encanto!
Wow. Staying here was a great experience. The barn was the perfect retreat for our family for a couple of nights of blissful relaxation. The property has been beautifully restored and is both homely and stylish. It is situated in an idyllic hamlet of old stone buildings located in rural Catalonia, equidistant between the Pyrenees and the Costa Brava. Closer to home (5 mins drive) is the lake at Banyoles: great swimming and walks.
Roger and his daughters were great hosts. Would definitely recommend as a peaceful base from which to explore Northern Catalonial
Leo, Nancy, Lochie and Isla
Nice house, clean was 30 minutes drive from Figueres.
very freindly and correct

FACTS & STATS: Site: State Farm Center (16,618) -- Champaign, Illinois. Television: BTN. Home Record: Ohio St. 14-3, Illinois 9-4. Away Record: Ohio St. 4-3, Illinois 2-6. Neutral Record: Ohio St. 1-0, Illinois 3-1. Conference Record: Ohio St. 6-6, Illinois 3-9. Series Record: Illinois leads, 104-72.
GAME NOTES: Meeting for the second time in less than a month, the 22nd-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and Illinois Fighting Illini get together at State Farm Center on Saturday night for a Big Ten Conference tussle.
Through the first couple of months of the 2013-14 campaign, Ohio State had been considered among the best teams not only in the Big Ten, but the country as well. The start of conference play however, has brought the team back to Earth as it sits with a 6-6 league ledger as part of its 19-6 overall mark. The Buckeyes, who are 4-3 in true road games, are coming off a 70-60 loss at home to bitter rival Michigan, the setback snapping a three-game win streak for the team.
Illinois had enjoyed a solid run through the non-conference portion of its schedule as well, but the Illini have taken it on the chin since Big Ten play got underway as it has won only three of its 12 league bouts. UI dropped a 67-58 decision at Nebraska on Wednesday, marking the team's ninth loss in the last 10 games. A 60-55 win at Penn State three days earlier put the brakes on an embarrassing eight-game skid. One thing going for Illinois tonight is the fact that it is 9-4 at home this season.
LaQuinton Ross scored 18 points and Lenzelle Smith, Jr. added 16, helping the Buckeyes outlast the Illini in the first meeting between the two teams on Jan. 23 in Columbus. Joseph Bertrand paced Illinois with 19 points. Still, the Illini lead the all-time series by a 104-72 margin.
Ross poured in 24 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and Smith, Jr. tacked on 13 points behind a trio of 3-pointers, but the Buckeyes still came out on the short end in a 10-point decision against visiting Michigan. Ohio State went a woeful 3-of-20 from beyond the arc, and it came away with only 27 rebounds compared to 39 for the Wolverines. Michigan drained seven treys and claimed an 18-11 edge in points from the foul line.
Ross (14.6 ppg, 5.6 rpg) and Smith, Jr. (12.0 ppg, 4.8 rpg) are the only two players averaging double figures for Ohio State, which is putting up 71.4 ppg on typical shooting efforts of .455 overall and .345 from distance. The Buckeyes really earn their keep at the defensive end, as they allow their opponents a mere 59.3 ppg, as they shoot just 40.1 percent from the field, which includes a 27.1 percent showing from 3-point land. OSU is +3.5 in turnover margin, forcing 14.5 miscues per outing.
As has been the case in nearly every game it has lost this season, Illinois shot the ball poorly in the recent loss to Nebraska, hitting just 36.7 percent of its field goal attempts, missing 13 of its 17 3-point tries along the way. Rayvonte Rice was the only player to reach double digits in the setback, as he tallied 23 points. Nnanna Egwu led the team with 12 boards. The Cornhuskers claimed a 24-18 edge in points from the foul line, getting a massive 33-point effort from Shavon Shields.
Despite their issues of late, Illinois boasts three double-digit scorers led by Rice and his 16.8 ppg. Tracy Abrams (11.1 ppg) and Bertrand (10.4 ppg) lend a hand, but the team as a whole is shooting only 41.1 percent from the floor, which includes a 30.8 percent showing from downtown. As a result, the Illini are netting only 66.9 ppg. Thankfully, they've played decently on defense in yielding just 64.3 ppg, and they've been able to goad the opposition into nearly a dozen turnovers per contest.
Ohio State isn't playing its best ball of the season, but the Buckeyes are still the much better team in this particular matchup. Despite what will likely be a spirited effort in front of the hometown faithful, the Illini aren't likely to pull off the upset here.
