Head Start and Early Head Start children at Maben had a special visitor last Thursday.
Major Donnie Joe Hurt visited their classrooms and presented American flags to each. He also read stories to the youngsters, answered their questions and talked a little about life in a foreign country.
Hurt said each flag had been placed inside a compartment in a drone and flown over Afghanistan.
He pointed out Afghanistan on a globe and talked a bit about favorite foods there (goat and lamb meat, pomegranates).
Meetings with Afghans usually involve drinking tea, he explained. "The last thing you talk about is business," Hurt said.
Major Hurt had visited the Head Start before.
"I love talking to the kids," he said.
Hurt has been in the U.S. Army for 13 years.
He was a senior in high school, he noted, when a guest speaker talked to him about the Army and West Point.
"It kind of appealed to me," he remarked.
It's a decision he is glad he made.
"My job provides an opportunity to do meaningful work every day," Hurt stated.
He has been to Afghanistan several times for periods of 10 to 12 months.
Hurt has also been to Korea, Germany and Iraq.
"Korea was really interesting," he commented. "In Iraq and Afghanistan, (we were there) for rebuilding."
Hurt's mother, Sue Bratton,an employee at the Head Start, says Wyoming Countians have been very supportive of her son.
Churches, businesses, the Pineville Masonic Lodge (of which Hurt is a member) have sent him care packages.
"They're always asking if he needs something," she commented. "We appreciate the support from the community.
"You have to support your troops," Bratton added.
Hood will be inducted into the Oceana High School Hall of Fame in May.

Dinham Hall Hotel
what a disappointment!
We have just returned from a weekend in Ludlow and the Dinham Hall Hotel. OK, the Dinham Hall Hotel is a beautiful town house hotel, with tastefully furnished rooms but sadly the service we received and the attitude of the staff left us feeling cheated and disappointed. If you are looking for a warm and relaxing break then I would advise you not to choose this hotel.
We did not receive confirmation booking so I rang day before we were dut to arrive to confirm booking and all was ok. On arrival we were not given any sort of welcome or any introduction to the hotel and layout - I think this is surely basic to the trade. The young girl on reception then walked past us out the front door carrying two keys and when we asked where she was going she said she was taking us to our rooms. To reach our rooms we had to walk down steps, along a very poorly lit path, down more steps and then up more steps to our room which was on the upper floor of what appeared to be a converted barn type building with a rather large gap down the inside of the main door!! On a wet, windy and cold night I would not call this acceptable when you are expecting to stay in the main hotel building!! We were in the upper room and our friends were in the lower room and as mentioned in a previous review they too could hear us moving about in our room. The room was lovely and very tastefully decorated with complimentary tea and coffee facilities. We expressed our disappointment at reception but as far as they were concerned they had sent email confirmation, which would have mentioned we had an annexe room - which I did not recieve hence my phone call to confirm booking - and the problem was ours. I have limited mobility and if this had been mentioned when I made the telephone booking we would have went elsewhere! We were told the member of Staff - Lauren - who had taken our booking was nolonger with them but they were sure she would have mentioned it when she made the booking. Can you believe that within an hour of arriving for a weekend away two insinuations had been made that I was not telling the truth!!!! At breakfast the following morning we found the milk for our cereal to be sour. When we mentioned this to the waiter (who we had to go and find as he appeared to be the jack of all trades!) he told us he thought the milk was ok!!!!!! The milk was SOUR and if a paying customer is unhappy surely you agree and accomodate them to the best of your ability. The full english was lovely except I had a very bad/sour poached egg which I suppose no one could be responsible for but again we had to go looking for the waiter to ask for a new fresh breakfast!!! On booking out of the hotel we mentioned our disappoint to the manager who basically had the attitude that we sent the email so the problem was yours. He was in no way apologetic and not really too interested. To us he had the attitude of not giving a dam, we were booking out, he our £540.00 and so what if were unhappy and disappointed with our much looked forward to weekend. I do not like writing such a negative review but I would not like anyone else to be treated in this way. Ludlow is a very interesting and pleasant town to visit and I am sure you will find better welcoming accomdation than the Dinham Hall Hotel!!
Unique Quality: none really!
Directions: central town location with free parking
Charming English Manor House
Having the Bed and Breakfast feel, this historic house has plenty of charm. Not quite the modern and upscale amenties you might expect of a large city hotel (esp considering the price), but it more than makes up for its historic roots and the feel of the place. Actually had to walk slighly canted since the floors have all settled since it was built back in 400BC or whenever it was constructed. Right across from Ludlow Castle and the market. Food and wine list in the dining hall was quite good as well. Staff very pleasant. Fireplace was perfect for a chilly Spring evening too.
Directions: Directly across from Ludlow Castle.

Getting into range? Burning Speed, Ride the Lightning or Magnetic Grasp both get you close to your foe. They either have 12 or 15 sec recharge which is OK.
Getting out of range? There is always Lightning Flash (utility), which teleports you anywhere you ground target, but you can use your spells to chill and cripple your enemies too, making it difficult for them to follow you (Frozen Burst, Armor of Frost, Churning Earth, Earthquake, Updraft) If you equip the Signets of Air & Water (utility) you have an additional chill (active Water) and a 10% speed boost from the passive air signet. Should (unknown to me) the trait Windborn Dagger stack with the signet's passive effect, your permanent speed boost will be 25% (trait adds 15% speed boost), which should allow you to kite almost everything.

Scholarships.com Staff
Full-tuition scholarships, half-tuition scholarships, and financial aid packages free of student loans continue to be unveiled at institutions across the country. While it may be too late for many students to alter their college application plans, if you are still looking for colleges for 2009, or if you happen to have applied to one of these schools, you may find the following information useful. This week, The Chronicle of Higher Education profiled several significant scholarship programs private, community, and state colleges are launching or expanding for incoming students in 2009.
Northern Illinois University recently announced the Huskie Advantage, a program that will ensure that all incoming freshmen eligible for Federal Pell Grants will receive enough financial aid to meet the full cost of tuition. Similarly, Montgomery County Community College in Pennsylvania is raising money to provide larger scholarships to students who receive a small Pell Grant or narrowly miss the cutoff for Pell eligibility.
The University of Pennsylvania will be eliminating student loans from the financial aid packages of all students this fall. It's the latest in a string of well-endowed private colleges to put forward generous institutional aid for its students. The Sage Colleges of New York are also following suit, promising to offer aid to meet new students' full financial need in the next academic year.
Two private colleges in Georgia and Minnesota aren't eliminating loans, but they are drastically reducing the cost of college for many applicants. Agnes Scott College in Georgia is offering scholarships and grants to nearly halve the cost of attendance for all recipients of the Georgia Hope Scholarship, as well as an additional $3,000 grant for first-year students. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota offers students with family incomes of under $100,000 financial aid packages that will reduce the cost of attendance to the average price of a Big Ten school. For the neediest 25 percent of students, St. Mary's will provide all of this aid institutionally, allowing students to use federal student financial aid to cover much of the rest of their college costs.
March 5, 2009
Paying for college can be a struggle. Nobody wants to repay student loans forever, not everybody is going to land a full-tuition scholarship, and federal student financial aid seldom takes care of all college costs. If you're a parent or relative looking ahead to cover college costs for a child, finding scholarships is a great step now, but you may also want to consider college savings plans.
Read below for information on 529 savings plans, which are one of the most popular and diverse options for college savings. If this is not for you, check back tomorrow for more information on other savings options.
529 Savings Plans While 529 plans have sustained average losses of 21 percent in the last year, they can still be a good idea, especially if you choose your plan carefully and have plenty of time to save. Many 529 plans allow you to move your savings into a much more conservative portfolio when the student nears college, an option they're sure to publicize based on the recent behavior of the stock market. While there are limits on how many changes can be made to a 529 plan per year, the plans are otherwise quite flexible and varied, so it's easy to find one that works for your situation. Plus, 529 plans can be taken out in the parent's name, rather than the student's, so they will only minimally affect a student's financial aid eligibility.
Additionally, contribution limits are high, income limits are nonexistent, minimum contribution requirements tend to be low, and many states offer a variety of incentives for residents who contribute to their plans. As an added bonus, many 529 plans can accept contributions from anybody anywhere, not just the people named on the account, and several programs have been created to take advantage of this. For example, some plans allow a portion of credit card purchases or purchases at certain stores to go towards a particular student's 529 plan.
Prepaid Tuition Savings Plans If you're hesitant about sticking money for college in the stock market with uncertain returns, another type of 529 plan is also gaining popularity. Prepaid tuition plans allow families to contribute a fixed amount now in exchange for a certain portion of tuition being covered in the future. Many states do this for their state colleges and universities, and the Independent 529 plan, which is accepted by over 200 private colleges, also fixes contributions to portions of future tuition. Both of these varieties eliminate worries about tuition inflation, though if tuition actually goes down between now and when the student starts college, a prepaid plan might not be the most lucrative option.
The Down Side 529 plans do have drawbacks and limitations. Money must be spent on education, and the expenses that qualify are limited to undergraduate tuition, fees, educational expenses like books, and now computers. However, if the student is enrolled at least half-time, money from a 529 plan can also go towards room and board, so even if your student earns a full-tuition scholarship, it's possible to still take advantage of 529 savings. Money must stay in a plan for at least 3 years, so if you're saving for a college sophomore, you're out of luck with these. However, you can transfer the unused portion of a 529 plan to another family member without incurring the heavy withdrawal penalties, and it may also be possible to use the funds towards graduate or professional school.
Plans also vary from state to state, so your state's plan might not have the best benefits for you, or might not offer as sweet a deal in terms of tax breaks or low fees as the next state over offers its residents. Luckily, you can shop around among a variety of plans, including ones offered by several other states.
529 plans are not the only college saving option, though they remain the most popular and perhaps the most well-known. Check back tomorrow for information on the rest of the pack.
March 6, 2009
Continuing our theme from yesterday, today's blog post centers on more options for saving for college. Yesterday, we discussed 529 plans, popular college savings vehicles that have been battered by recent financial troubles. If you're considering saving for college but are not sold on a 529 plan, the most common alternatives are discussed below.
Coverdell ESA. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts are similar to 529 plans in most respects, but do have their own benefits and drawbacks. Rather than being sold by a state, they are sold by banks and brokerages, which can charge their own management fees. Because there aren't any state ties, there aren't any residency limitations, though there also aren't any state tax breaks for enrolling in a Coverdell ESA.
Coverdell accounts allow more flexible investment options and unlimited changes to investments. They can also be used to pay for high school and elementary school expenses, in addition to college costs. Otherwise, the expenses Coverdell and 529 plans can be used for are roughly the same: tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board if over half-time, and other qualified educational expenses.
One major limitation to the Coverdell ESA is the $2,000 annual contribution cap. This is the limit per account holder, not per contributor. Additionally, individuals must have an adjusted gross income of $110,000 or below to contribute, and $95,000 or below to contribute the full $2,000. Coverdell accounts are held in the beneficiary's name, so they can hurt the student on the FAFSA. They also must be used or cashed out by the time the beneficiary turns 30, and they go to the beneficiary no matter what, while 529 plans can be given back to the parent in charge of the account if the student chooses not to go to college.
Roth IRA. The Roth IRA, typically used as a retirement account, can also be used to save for school. As long as you're withdrawing contributions, rather than earnings, there is no penalty if you are using the money from your IRA for educational expenses. However, a college savings plan might be the better way to go if you're setting up an account specifically for your student (especially since contributions to a Roth IRA must come from income the beneficiary earned from working), and dipping into your retirement funds to pay for college is widely regarded as a less than ideal choice by financial experts. But if you choose to take it, the option is there.
UTMA. The Uniform Transfer to Minors Act allows assets to be given as gifts to minors without the establishment of a trust. While the options explored up to this point have been savings accounts or investments, UTMA covers everything, including property. An adult manages these assets in a custodial account until the owner reaches the age of 18 or 21, depending on the state. In the meantime, the funds in the account can be used to benefit the child, including taking care of educational expenses. Once the owner reaches the age of majority, the assets are theirs to use as they please. This can mean paying for school, or it can mean making less desirable financial choices. Since these assets belong to the student, they would count against them for student financial aid.
Government Bonds. While typically regarded as the province of grandparents, government savings bonds (Series EE is the most common) are also an option for paying for college. Bonds can be purchased online or at banks, and redeemed later for cash. As opposed to stock market-based savings plans which can lose big during crashes, government bonds are going to continue to grow as long as there's a government to honor them. And if there's no longer a United States government, well, you might have more to worry about than paying for college.
Also, since no rules state that a savings bond must be redeemed for college costs, the money can be used towards paying off student loans, covering college living expenses...or partying it up during spring break in Mexico.
While EE Savings Bonds grow at a steady rate, they do grow very slowly. You're also limited to a purchase of $5,000 per calendar year. Since they're such a safe bet, they can be great gifts for high school students, but a market-based option might be a better way to grow savings and maximize returns for younger children.

One much-discussed aspect of the college experience is gaining exposure to new people and perspectives. Another statement that commonly turns up in the college search process is that different schools serve different groups of students--hence the importance of finding a good fit for you. Many of the most recognizable and commonly referenced differences are based at least in part on the race, gender, socioeconomic status, or country of origin of a college's student population. A college's mission and ideological and cultural base also play an important role, and exposure to ideological and religious diversity can also be a major component of the college experience.
One student at Brown University recently turned his experiences with such ideological diversity into a book, entitled "The Unlikely Disciple: a Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University." The author, Kevin Roose, decided to go on a "domestic study abroad" and enroll at Liberty University, a conservative Christian college, for a semester. What emerges is, at least according to early reviews, an interesting and balanced look at Liberty from an outsider's perspective, as well as an honest exploration of the author's reactions to his new environment.
If you're in the process of choosing a college, or you're just curious about how wide-ranging the student experience can be in America, this book sounds like an interesting read. Roose's story is also a reminder for current college students that you don't necessarily need to go to an exotic locale to be exposed to people with a cultural experience markedly different from your own. Though study abroad occasionally can sound like an expensive and protracted sightseeing trip, Roose's "domestic study abroad" is a reminder of the importance of seeing and experiencing a new culture and place and stepping outside one's own ideological bounds.

Earlier this week, we blogged about the recession making getting into a PhD program more difficult for prospective graduate students. Prospective undergraduates are also facing a changing admissions landscape, but the picture for them is more complicated. Articles about colleges' admission conundrums have abounded this week as acceptance letters and financial aid notices make their way to anxious high school seniors.
Top schools with big endowments and generous financial aid packages, such as virtually the entire Ivy League, are facing increased applications and some of their lowest admission rates ever. Meanwhile, other private colleges are admitting more students than last year, and also putting more students on their waiting lists. Many state colleges and community colleges are also seeing increased interest and jumps in enrollment, and schools with limited resources are forced to turn away a larger percentage of applicants.
All of this adds up to a lot of uncertainty for students, and for colleges trying to create next year's freshman class. Many sources are saying it also means increased flexibility for some students in terms of negotiating admission or financial aid at their top choice schools.
Since schools are hurting financially and admissions offices are as nervous as students this year about their decisions, students who are able to pay full freight (either out-of-pocket or through a generous outside scholarship award) may face an advantage getting off the wait list, since several schools admit to considering ability to pay when deciding whether to admit waitlisted students. Students who have received an acceptance letter from their dream school, but have been offered larger amounts of institutional aid from other colleges may also have more options this year. Students in this boat may want to let their favorite private colleges know about their dilemma to see if they can get a slightly better offer. Many schools may be willing to drop a couple thousand extra dollars on you if it will secure your tuition payment.

If you're planning on attending college, chances are you're also planning on one day graduating. Depending on which school you choose, getting out in six years or less could be anything from a long-shot to a near certain bet. A new study has been published by the American Enterprise Institute comparing graduation rates among colleges based on selectivity ratings as part of an overall push for more accountability and transparency in higher education. In addition to discussing the gaps in graduation rates among schools, the study also lists some of the best and worst performers in each category by name. If you're a high school junior or senior just beginning to compare colleges, this could be good information to have.
Overall, the data show that about 53 percent of first-time college students at four-year universities graduate from the school they enrolled in as freshmen with six years. The study does not include non-traditional students or transfer students. Not surprisingly, students at the most selective schools, such as elite private colleges, were among the most likely to graduate from the school at which they initially enrolled. Six-year graduation rates at individual schools ranged from the single digits to nearly 100 percent across the whole spectrum of schools, with the most competitive category graduating nearly 88 percent of students on average, and the least competitive schools graduating only 35 percent of students.
Graduation rates also varied greatly within selectivity categories. Two schools in similar locations with similar ratings could have vastly different graduation rates. This is where the study becomes particularly useful for students choosing between schools. If you have a roughly equal chance of getting into two colleges, and one graduates a significantly larger percentage of students then the other, it's not hard to imagine that having this information might influence your decision of which school to apply to or attend. You can read more over at Inside Higher Ed, which also includes a link to the full study. Along with things like available financial aid and quality of on-campus housing, graduation rates are definitely something to consider incorporating into your criteria for your college search.

Earlier this week, the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities released information on tuition increases at private colleges and universities for the 2009-2010 academic year. While tuition is increasing on average, the good news is that the tuition increase is the lowest in 37 years.
Tuition and fees are projected to go up an average of 4.3 percent at private colleges and universities nationwide, with some colleges managing to hold their increases even lower or freeze tuition rates to help students struggling to pay for school in the current economic climate. While it still greatly outpaces inflation, it's lower than the average increase over the last 10 years, which has been around 6 percent. The survey did not address changes in the cost of room and board.
Meanwhile, private colleges are also increasing institutional grant and scholarship aid. On average, schools allocated 9 percent more to college scholarships and grants for 2009-2010 than the previous academic year.
July 9, 2009
We've previously blogged about the increase in student borrowing shown by the latest data from the National Center for Education Statistics. As more think tanks and other groups begin to analyze this information, additional reports are emerging to provide more details on who is borrowing the most. The latest report comes from Education Sector and bears the title, "Drowning in Debt: The Emerging Student Loan Crisis." While the report has been criticized by some as alarmist in tone, it does provide insight into students' growing reliance on student loans.
In broad terms, the study showed that over half of undergraduate students (53 percent) borrowed money to attend college in 2007-2008, up from just under 50 percent in 2003-2004. Students also took out larger loans in 2007-2008. Adding to the report published earlier by The Project on Student Debt, this report also looked at the percentage of students borrowing private loans, showing a sharp rise in recent years.
The report also breaks down borrowing by type of institution and type of loan, as well as along other lines. Education Sector found that student loan borrowing is most prevalent among students at private, for-profit colleges, with nearly 92 percent taking out student loans in 2007-2008. For-profit colleges also had one of the highest average loan amounts in 2007-2008, with students borrowing $9,611. Private not-for-profit colleges actually had higher average loan amounts at $9,766, but the percentage of students borrowing was significantly lower, though still higher than at public two-year and four-year colleges.
Students at for-profit and not-for-profit private colleges also relied the most heavily on private loans, with 43 percent of students at for-profit and 27 percent of students at non-profit private schools turning to alternate loans. These schools tend to have the highest tuition, so the greater loan amounts and rates of borrowing are not entirely surprising. Rising tuition and a lack of sufficient need-based financial aid (including a shift in focus from need-based to merit-based scholarships at four-year schools) are cited as two of the main causes for high rates of student borrowing.
A more detailed breakdown, complete with charts, is available on the Education Sector website.

On August 1, the new GI Bill will kick in, bringing with it increased education benefits for people who have served in the military since 2001. At least in theory.
The new GI Bill covers an undergraduate student's full tuition and fees at any four-year state college anywhere in the country, which is a more generous benefit than the veteran aid students received under the old GI Bill. Eligible students will also receive an additional monthly housing stipend and, thanks to the recently approved HEA Technical Corrections legislation, these benefits won't be counted as income for purposes of determining federal student financial aid eligibility.
The GI Bill also includes a new program that gives veterans benefits at private colleges and allows schools to match federal VA benefits for their students. More than 1,100 private colleges signed up to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which should allow veterans to attend a larger number of institutes of higher education at little cost.
However, the formula for determining benefits under the Yellow Ribbon Program has been mired in controversy since its announcement, and as the deadline for the GI Bill to go into effect nears, many people are looking at the wide disparity in Yellow Ribbon benefits nationwide and scratching their heads.
Veterans attending private colleges can receive up to the full amount of tuition and fees at the most expensive public college in the state from the government, with their institution agreeing to assist with additional tuition costs at Yellow Ribbon schools. But the amount the federal government will cover varies widely from state to state, with government benefits ranging from just over $2,000 to just under $40,000, depending on how the department of Veterans Affairs calculated the maximum in-state tuition in each state.
These differences have caused some private schools to limit their Yellow Ribbon participation, meaning many veterans may still be on the hook for most of their college costs if they choose to attend private colleges. The wide variation in benefits also can cause confusion and uncertainty for veterans considering attending private universities but unsure of the financial aid they'll be eligible to receive.
November 3, 2009
More private colleges than ever before are charging $50,000 a year or more in tuition and other fees, according to an analysis of College Board data done by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Last year, only five colleges charged $50,000 a year or more for tuition, fees, room, and board. This year, 58 did.
Most students receive some merit- or need-based scholarship or grant money to help cover some of those costs, but according to the Chronicle, the average scholarship and grant amounts at the highest priced schools was around $13,000 a year, leaving students and their families to fend for themselves when it comes to looking for outside scholarships, grants and student loans. Despite those staggering numbers, many of the most expensive schools haven't suffered in terms of declining enrollment, and have expansion and economic recovery plans in the works where the additional funding will come in handy.
Bucknell University, where tuition, fees, room, and board totaled about $50,300 this year, a 22-percent jump over the last six years, plans to hire more faculty and increase aid. And that school wasn't even in the top five most expensive colleges. Those honors go to Sarah Lawrence College ($55,788), Landmark College ($53,900), Georgetown University ($52,161), New York University ($51,993), and George Washington University ($51,775), in that order.
At the same time, many private colleges and universities are predicting a decrease in revenue and net tuition despite increasing enrollment rates and increasing tuition costs. The Moody's report "New Tuition Challenges at Many U.S. Private Universities" surveyed 100 private schools and found that nearly 30 percent experienced drops in net revenue and fees for the 2010 fiscal year. This suggests those schools are offering more in terms of financial aid. An article in Inside Higher Education today says some schools may have tried to compensate for a weak economy and projections of low enrollment levels (which for many private colleges turned out not to be the case) with more financial aid offered to incoming students. Most of the public institutions surveyed, however, expect increases in revenue, according to Moody's.
So what does this mean for private schools? The Chronicle suggests not much. Enrollments so far have supported high tuition rates (and rising median salaries among presidents at private colleges), and a ceiling hasn't yet been set. Does this suggest that students could be seeing $60,000 in annual costs to attend many of the top private institutions? Possibly. But that would mean financial aid would need to keep up alongside those rising costs. What do you think? How much is too much? If you're facing sticker shock, be sure to evaluate all of your options. If you're set on a school, look outside that college for financial aid assistance. Conduct a free scholarship search to see awards you may qualify for that could make a dent in your cost of attendance, and do your research with a college search so that you know exactly what you could be paying at that dream school.

- You know sequestration, should it occur, will hit your budget hard. Now you'll know how hard. A new Congressional Research Service report pegs
sequestration cuts at 12.1 percent. Unless Congress acts, across-the-board budget cuts will start Jan. 2. Sequestration is the result of last year's Budget Control Act. It calls for 10-year spending cuts of $1.2 trillion starting in 2013. Social Security and Medicare spending are exempt from the sequester. (Federal News Radio)
- Secret Service investigators say prostitutes used by agents in Colombia posed no national security threats. Officials have been poring over interviews with the women. None has been found on a watch list or any other connection to terror groups. Those findings were in a report revealed by Repr. Peter King (R-N.Y.), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. The Secret Service is still sorting out the scandal. Agents brought prostitutes to their hotel rooms just before a presidential trip to Colombia last month. (Federal News Radio)
- Lawmakers are asking the Postal Service for more time to pass a bill to restructure the agency. The Postal Service has put more than 3,000 post offices on the chopping block, but it has agreed not to close any of them until May 15. Backers of a bill that just passed the Senate say they need more time than that to convince the House to go along with their plan. They warn the Postal Service that any attempts to close offices before the bill becomes law — or "get in under the wire" — would be counterproductive and violate their intent. The bill would make it harder for the agency to close post offices. And there's no guarantee the House will go along with it. A radically different overhaul bill is moving through that chamber. (Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee)
- Buyouts are proving popular at the IRS. Federal Times reports, more than 1,200 employees took early retirement and buyout offers in fiscal 2011.That represents more than 1 percent of the agency's total workforce. The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents IRS workers, says the agency has lost 5,000 employees over the past two years, and the cuts are hurting the agency's ability to help customers. Meanwhile, the number of tax returns being filed is growing. (Federal Times)
- A new survey shows federal employees are happier with their Thrift Savings Plan. The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board finds 86 percent of feds say they're satisfied. That's an increase of 5 percent over the last survey in 2008. It says an automatic enrollment plan and revamped website have helped. Most feds who told the board that they do not contribute to the TSP say they cannot afford it. But one-fifth of those who don't participate say it is because their contributions are not matched by the government.They either are in the CSRS retirement plan or in the military. (Federal News Radio)
- The Interior Department's has awarded a $35 million contract for cloud e-mail. The award went to Onix Networking, a Google reseller. Interior had awarded the contract to a Microsoft reseller in 2010. But Onix and Google protested to the Court of Federal Claims. The Onix deal is $17 million lower than the original award. Interior employees will get more than e-mail. They'll also get audio and video chat, and they'll have the option to use several Google online applications such as Google Docs. (Federal News Radio)
- The Social Security Administration has started providing workers with online statements of their estimated retirement benefits. The agency will save an estimated $70 million by eliminating paper statements and the postage to mail them. But recipients over 60 years old will still get the paper forms. Social Security tried online estimates in the late 1990s, but security concerns caused cancellation of the project. (Federal News Radio)
- NOAA says a new tool is helping the United States become a more "weather-ready nation." The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency deployed it yesterday. It says in tests Rapid Refresh has delivered more accurate predictions of fast-developing weather emergencies, like heavy rains that pummeled the Midwest last summer. It updates every hour with an forecast for the next 18 hours. NOAA says that's important for pilots, as well as weather forecasters. The United States is the only country that updates computer model forecasts every hour using a mix of sensors, radars and aircraft. (NOAA)

The American dream—rising socially to achieve success and prosperity—seems alive and well despite the economy. Clark (economics, Univ. of California, Davis; A Farewell to Alms) concedes the popular belief that a good society is marked by high rates of social mobility. But his provocative thesis is that social mobility, in the United States and elsewhere, happens far more slowly than existing studies indicate, because those investigations focus on just one aspect of status (e.g., income or occupation). Clark settled on surnames as the best way to track the rich and poor in various societies. He uses several measures to determine mobility, including occupation, education, income, and wealth. The author's most vexing claim is that social status is inherited in much the same way as biological traits: it's in the genes. To the extent that both rich and poor groups will regress to the social mean over a period of hundreds of years, Clark sees society as ultimately egalitarian. But, oddly enough, because of the genetic component, it's the intermarriage between groups that is the great equalizer. Clark's analysis covers a number of different countries and eras (e.g., modern Sweden and China, medieval England), and various coauthors contribute data. VERDICT No doubt this book will be as controversial as its thesis is thought-provoking. The prose can get a little dense with statistics,but the travels across continents and through time are intriguing enough to make this title worth reading.

Pope Francis I: a litany of firsts
More News from Agence France-Presse
VATICAN CITY—Francis I is the first pope from the Americas, as well as the first Jesuit, and the first non-European to become pope since the eighth century, when Syrian-born Gregory III was pontiff.
Argentina's Jorge Mario Bergoglio, at 76 and three months, is the eighth-oldest pontiff at the moment of his election to accede to Peter's throne, the oldest of all being Clement X in 1670, who was nearly 80. Francis I is nevertheless slightly younger than his predecessor Benedict XVI, who was 78 when he was elected in 2005.
He is the first pope to choose an original name since John Paul I in 1978, who was the first to do so since Lando, elected in 913.
Francis I is also the first Jesuit to become sovereign pontiff. Before him, one has to go back to 1492 and to the famous Alexander VI—the father of Cesar and Lucrece Borgia—to find a pope of Spanish mother tongue.
One also has to go back to Saint Gregory III, born in Syria in 690 and pope between 731 and 741, to find a non-European pope. Before Gregory III, a number of popes came from northern Africa and what is now the Middle East, including the first pope of all, Peter, born in Galilee, who became pope in the year 33.

The plant known internationally as yambean is arguably one of the most interesting of all the world's new food crops.12 This species, which hails from the Americas, looks like a bean plant above ground but is actually grown for the swollen roots it produces below ground. Since the dawn of history these yam-like tubers have fed tropical Americans. Then Spanish galleons3 carried the seed across the Pacific, and this productive, palatable, and nutritious legume subsequently spread through Asia and became a market-garden favorite from China all the way to India.
In recent decades yambean has taken on renewed momentum and is now among the world's fastest rising new crops. Already it is the top selling specialty vegetable in the United States, its tubers being sold in many (if not most) U.S. supermarkets under its Mexican name, jicama. Americans buy the round, squat tubers for use in salads, for replacing scarce water chestnut in Chinese cooking, and for a low-calorie snack food. Demand has risen to such an extent that Mexico now exports half a million tons annually.4
In Europe, this food is catching on, too. Part of Thailand's large yambean output, for instance, is now shipped to many Asian stores in major European cities. This American crop has even entered production trials in Portugal, where, under conditions seemingly so different from its native tropical habitat, it has demonstrated very impressive yields: 54 tons per hectare, with up to 24 percent dry matter containing 10 percent crude protein.5
Several Pachyrhizus species go by this name, but the best known and best developed yambean is Pachyrhizus erosus. It mostly goes by local or indigenous names, including fan-ko (China), sankalu (India), sinkamas (Philippines), dolique tubereux or pais patate (French), Knollige Bohne (German).
Information in this chapter relies heavily on Sørensen, M. 1996 Yam bean (Pachyrhizus DC.). International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, Rome, and personal communications with this tireless Danish crop champion.
Amazingly, these galleons crossed the Pacific from Mexico to the Philippines annually without fail for 400 years.
Its wholesale price has reached $2.50 a kilo, an amazing figure for a root crop traded in bulk.
The yambean here was the Andean species (Pachyrhizus ahipa), and the range of

Livni, Daring Arrest, Will Go To London
This is totally something Clint Eastwood would do!
Tzipi Livni, the head of the Kadima Party, cancelled a trip to London last December after a judge there issued a warrant for her arrest on war-crimes charges (the writ was initiated by a British Palestinian rights group, not the government). Much sniping between Israel and the United Kingdom followed. Now a defiant Livni has pledged to travel to London to make sure it has been made safe for Israelis. "I will do this not for me, not for provocation," she insisted, "but for the right of every Israeli to travel freely. I am not going to be restricted by extremists because I fought terror." The war-crimes accusations concerned Livni's service as interim Prime Minister during last year's Gaza conflict. (Current officials are protected from arrest by diplomatic immunity.)
British officials have since promised Israel to ensure the jail-free vacationing of former Israeli leaders. However, over 100 British Members of Parliament oppose the bill to which an arrest-banning amendment is attached, and there are even reports that Justice Secretary Jack Straw is holding it up.
Meanwhile, is Livni's act truly "not for me," as she claimed? Well, the audacious move certainly couldn't hurt a politician whom some see as on the ropes. But it would nonetheless be brave—even if the British government must be smart enough to ensure her safe passage. (Right, guys?)

Yee-hah! This car is for the perennial kid in some of us (if not all of us). Yes, it's a basic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive four-door sedan. It's just that its mother of invention was somebody who has spent a fair amount of time at a race track and thinks it's just fine to make a four-door […] [Read More]
New air traffic control tower at San Francisco International Airport — a splendid view, more than 200 feet up.

2015 Lexus NX300h — a luxo compact hybrid SUV
It's the age of the compact SUV. Of course, in the world of cars, a few years ago it was the age of the SUV (big, hulking) or the age of the pickup truck (bigger, really hulking).

Olmec: Long ago, a powerful and ruthless man sailed from Spain and conquered Puerto Rico. His name was Ponce de Leon. He owned vast land and riches, but it was not enough. Hearing of The Fountain of Youth, Ponce de Leon explored up and down the Florida Coast with his servant, Pablo, and an old Indian guide. Ponce de Leon: I think this old Indian guide is leading us on a wild goose chase. Olmec: ...grumbled Ponce de Leon. Ponce de Leon: He gets no more water until we find the fountain. Olmec: Pablo liked the Indian and sneaked some of his own water ration. They never did find The Fountain of Youth, but Legend has it that when Ponce de Leon died, the old Indian came to Pablo with a gift. Old Indian Guide: Your master did not deserve this. Olmec: ...said the Indian, pressing a bottle of water into Pablo's hand. Old Indian Guide: The Water of Eternal Youth is only for those who are pure of heart. Olmec: The bottle found its way to The Temple. Your quest is to retrieve The Bottle of Water and bring it back here. Kirk: Thank you, Olmec. So, tell me, where is The Water Bottle? Olmec: The Bottle of Water can be found in The Heart Room.

This paper discusses the "modern contextual approach" to collective agreement interpretation; namely, "In the interpretation of collective agreements, their words must be read in their entire context, in their grammatical and ordinary sense, harmoniously with the scheme of the agreement, its object, and the intention of the parties", or the words of a collective agreement are to be read in their entire context and in their grammatical and ordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the collective agreement, the object (purpose) of the collective agreement, and the intention of the parties to the collective agreement. Part II of this paper discusses the modern contextual approach. Part III of this paper discusses terms implied into collective agreements as a matter of law, and as a matter of fact.
It is necessary, in every case, for the arbitrator charged with interpreting a collective agreement provision to undertake the contextual and purposive approach and thereafter to determine if the words are ambiguous (patently or latently). Other principles of interpretation only receive application where there is ambiguity as to the meaning of a provision. Part IV of this paper discusses the concept of ambiguity, and Part V discusses some "other principles of interpretation" that may be applied if ambiguity is identified. Part VI of the paper discusses the principle of "estoppel"—promissory by conduct (past practice)—in the context of labour arbitration.

Trading my KLR for a Burgman 400....another talk me out of it thread
View Single Post
Joined: Jul 2009
Location: Chandler, AZ
Oddometer: 5,069
None of my cruisers have had fringe or loud pipes, though many cruiser riders go that direction, you don't have to. Most of them have been set up as touring bikes with saddlebags, a windshield, and a riders backrest. I also don't like the looks of a lot of the newer cruisers which try to copy Harley. But I don't ride cruisers for the way they look. I ride them for their comfort and practicality. A cruiser can be set up almost like a Goldwing. I have had 2 Goldwings, an '85 1200 LTD, and currently have a '95 1500 Aspencade. It is also a very comfortable bike, but sometimes more bike than I want. I had planned to trade it for a maxi scooter, but after trying out several, I decided to either keep it, or sell it outright. I didn't see the maxi scooter as an improvement. I guess I just like my scooters small. The Vulcan 750 comes in a very close second comfortwise to the GW and has about the same performance, and actually handles better. The Vulcan with hydraulic valves has a 9500 rpm redline. I have owned 2 of them, a '93 and my current '02. Between the two, I have almost 160,000 miles on them, and have never had any issues with the valves. They have been ridden mostly on the highway, at 75-80 mph.
I'm beginning to think that what the OP really needs is a midsized touring cruiser, like the Yamaha V-Star 950 tourer. It is in the same price range as the Burg 400, and IMO more comfortable, and with better performance. I finally went down to the stealer and sat on one after this came up in another thread. I found it to be extremely comfortable, and with a riders backrest, it would be about as comfortable as driving a car. It comes with really nice bags that have more storage capacity than the Burg, plus you can use a tank bag and a T-Bag, which attaches to the passengers backrest. It has a very low seat height, and if you wanted to mess up such a beautiful bike, it should do a lot better on dirt and gravel roads than a maxi, it has more ground clearance, better suspension, and full sized wheels. It is belt drive, and the valves are super easy to get to. And, it comes with quiet pipes and no fringe, and I recommend leaving it that way.

Hello fellow micechatters,
Since I recently read that Disney's Aladdin will be premiering for the Broadway stages in Seattle this summer I thought this would be an interesting opportunity for a Micechat meet-up. I am thinking we could maybe get group rates if enough of us can commit to going on the same night.
Looking at the 5th avenue website, group rates are offered for 10 or more people being in the group.
Are any of you interested in this opportunity?
Dates and rates will be known later, the info is not on the 5th Ave website yet.
ps - Mods, can you promote this idea to get some of the out of state people up here?
