Your Guide to Meaningful Action
"We need to get back not only to low tuition, but to no tuition," said Roger Hickey, sporting an "I am a student debt voter" T-shirt outside Senator Elizabeth Warren's office last Thursday. Hickey works for Campaign for America's Future, and on April 30, he helped deliver a petition with over 240,000 signatures to Warren's office. The petition, which gathered its signatures all in one month, demanded that the US government cancel all student debt, public and private.
There are currently 40 million student loan borrowers with $1.3 trillion in debt, which "pales in comparison to what we spent on the Iraq war," said John Hlinko, founder of Left Action. "So what about a similar war on debt?" While there has been a huge increase in military spending, Pell grants, or money given to low-income students that does not need to be repaid, have been cut from the current budget. Many are starting to feel like the right to accessible education is under attack.
The petition given to Warren was sponsored by a coalition of organizations including Campaign for America's Future, Democracy for America, Working Families, Daily Kos, and The Nation, among others. Senator Warren has spoken out frequently about reforming student loans, and she recently tried to introduce a budget amendment that would have decreased the interest rate on loans to 3.9 percent, but Senate Republicans blocked it. She also recently joined a liberal push to make college at least debt-free.
Natalia Abrams, the executive director of StudentDebtCrisis.org, graduated shortly before the UC system increased tuition by 32 percent in one semester in 2009. Many of her friends had to drop out of college. "I started Occupy Colleges, literally a Facebook page and a Twitter page from my bedroom", she said. "But I just had to do something. It felt like that was the economic injustice for students."
Abrams believes that this is also part of a larger movement against austerity and state disinvestment—states have been spending less per student than they have at any time in history. This means that students have to make up that difference. She feels the country needs debt-free college and debt cancellation simultaneously "to be able to get out of this mess."

Student debt has also worsened inequality in the United States by burdening working- and middle-class students and keeping them at the bottom of the social and economic ladder. Other countries, however, despite lower federal budgets, don't seem to be facing this issue with the same severity. Mexico, a poorer country than the United States, currently has certain universities that are free with a high-quality education. Similarly, in Quebec tuition fees are below $2800 per year. In 2012, when the government tried to raise tuition, there was a massive student strike which forced the government to scrap their proposal.
Student debt is bankrupting students before they even enter the workforce. Hlinko said he believes investing in education is beneficial for the future. "This is the best investment we can make, an investment in our people," he said.

This week, members of the House of Representatives plan to mark tax day with a vote to repeal the estate tax, potentially giving millionaires and billionaires a huge tax break that will deprive the government of more than $270 billion over 10 years.
While Republicans want you to think that the estate tax harms small businesses and family farms, it primarily affects the very wealthy. Only individual estates worth more than $5.4 million pay any estate tax. Just two out of every 1,000 estates are affected.
In the meantime, the House recently passed a budget that cuts $5 trillion in benefits and services that mostly help working families. While members of Congress question whether or not parents and children in poor households deserve the smallest bit of help, they're voting on yet another huge tax giveaway to the extremely affluent.
The Nation is part of a new coalition defending the importance of progressive taxation. Join our campaign to preserve the federal estate tax.
The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities compiled a list of "Ten Facts You Should Know About the Federal Estate Tax."
Earlier this year, John Oliver hilariously broke down the absurdity of the wealth gap in America.
Last week, Wikileaks released the "Investment Chapter" of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and what it revealed was scary and surprising. The leak revealed plans to create a supranational tribunal where foreign corporations can sue governments for "expected future profits." We already know the consequences of these tribunals. In 2012, a Swedish company sued Germany for phasing out nuclear power, and the cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris is currently suing Uruguay and Australia for laws that aim to curb smoking.
Experts like Senator Elizabeth Warren fear that the tribunals included in the TPP would make these kinds of lawsuits even more common—allowing multinational corporations to stand in the way of governments looking to protect the environment or the health and safety of their citizens.
In the meantime, President Obama wants Congress to grant him fast track authority for the TPP. That means that he would sign the trade deal without holding a vote and then railroad the deal through Congress in only ninety days with limited debate and no amendments allowed.
Activists believe that our best bet right now to stop the TPP is to convince members of the House of Representatives. Write to your representative now and demand they say 'no' to fast track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
President Obama has said he needs to pass the TPP so that "we" write the rules for trade with Asia. In her column in the Washington Post, Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel points out that currently, "we," the American people, are not writing the trade agreement. Shadowy corporate interests are writing it.
From pushing up drug costs to harming the environment to undermining labor protections, this video breaks down the danger of passing "the dirtiest deal you've never heard of."
Americans now owe more than $1.3 trillion in student loan debt. With 40 million people burdened by this particularly intractable form of debt and the number growing, this crisis is out of control.
It doesn't have to be this way. College costs have increased 1,000 percent since the 1970s. Just a few decades ago, you could pay for a public college education with a common summer job. Now, students are leaving school with an average of more than $25,000 in debt. Some have over $100,000.
This is a problem for all of us. Students burdened by debt struggle to make large purchases like homes or cars, dragging down the economy. Furthermore, debt makes it virtually impossible for many students to pursue indispensable careers that offer only modest paychecks, depriving society of potentially life-changing teachers and social workers.
To draw attention to the magnitude of this crisis, we partnered with Daily Kos, Working Families, the American Federation of Teachers and number of other organizations to call on our elected officials to forgive all student loan debt. Join us by signing onto the campaign.
The United States government already spends billions of dollars on higher education, including subsidies to predatory for-profit institutions with abysmal track records. Strike Debt put together a proposal to reallocate this money to make public higher education free for all.
Watch John Oliver detail the disturbing absurdities of our student loan crisis: debt that can't be discharged in bankruptcy, for-profit colleges that prey on brain-damaged veterans and funding cuts so bad that a nursing program in North Carolina has a waiting list to get on its waiting list.
The FCC voted today to protect net neutrality, and to use Title II reclassification (exactly what open Internet advocates have been demanding) to ensure that it sticks. That means that the Internet will remain an open playing field—no slow lanes and no fast lanes—where small non-profits, every-day people and independent media outlets like The Nation can compete against multi-billion dollar corporate giants.
A hearty congratulations is due to the organizers at Fight for the Future, Free Press, OpenMedia, ColorofChange, the Voices for Internet Freedom Coalition, the Center for Media Justice, the Media Action Grassroots Network, Demand Progress and the many other groups who have been at the forefront of this crucial fight.
Our own readers have also continually stood up for the open Internet. Over the past year, Nation readers sent thousands of comments to the FCC. When Congress threatened to get in the way just as the FCC was coming down on our side, they wrote to their elected officials. Finally, this past week they submitted messages and photos to be streamed on a giant Jumbotron right outside the FCC's headquarters (you can check out some of those messages here).
Now that we've won, our friends at OpenMedia are using the net neutrality Jumbotron to stream celebratory messages and photos from this past year's organizing. Click here to send along a quick message of support.
Although today is a big deal, we can't afford to be complacent. John Nichols outlines the challenges that lie ahead to make sure that net neutrality is here to stay.
Check out Fight for the Future's video of highlights from this year's activism.
We've almost won. Under pressure from millions, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said that he will support Title II reclassification, exactly what we need to ensure that the Internet remains a fair playing field for all.
That said, it's not quite time to celebrate. Telecom lobbyists are pulling out all the stops to undermine real net neutrality before the final vote on February 26. From Time Warner Cable to AT&T to politicians looking to divide the public on what should be a bipartisan issue, we're up against some powerful players.
The FCC has closed formal public comments in the days leading up to the vote. To make sure that commissioners know that we're still watching, our friends at OpenMedia are setting up a Jumbotron right outside FCC headquarters. Send us your pro-net neutrality messages, images and memes and we'll display them on the big screen.
In The Nation, Mychal Denzel Smith makes a forceful case for the indispensable role that net neutrality plays in #BlackLivesMatter and other contemporary social movements.
Still confused as to why net neutrality is important? Watch the John Oliver rant that famously broke the FCC's website.
Key parts of the USA Patriot Act are set to expire this summer—including Section 215, the provision that the NSA cites as justification for the bulk collection of our telephone records.
The spying is so extreme that the original sponsor of the Patriot Act, Republican Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, is urging colleagues to sign a letter asserting that they will vote against reauthorization if the law is not amended to ban mass surveillance.
The Nation has joined a broad coalition to call on all members of Congress to sign on to Representative Sensenbrenner's letter. Urge your elected officials to sign and to commit to ending unconstitutional mass surveillance.
Without the brave sacrifices of whistleblowers, most famously Edward Snowden, we would have no idea of the extent of the government's mass spying. This fall, The Nation spoke with Snowden about the surveillance state, the American political system and the price he's paid for his understanding of patriotism.
In the fall of 2013, Fight for the Future and Demand Progress put together a video breaking down the different ways that the government spies on us.
After the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972, Americans saw a dramatic decline in the pollution of our waterways. But that progress has been eroded. Policies adopted following Supreme Court decisions in 2001 and 2006 undermined the Clean Water Act by creating uncertainty about which waterways were covered. Since then, the EPA has failed to prosecute hundreds of polluters who benefit from the confusion, and countless streams, ponds and wetlands are currently threatened, potentially affecting the drinking water of more than 117 million Americans.
The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers have proposed a new rule that would help protect these vital waterways but polluters want to block these critical changes. Join The Nation and the Natural Resources Defense Council in calling on Congress to defend our nation's water.
Storm-water runoff is another major source of the pollution in our rivers, lakes and coastal areas. In The Nation, Madeline Ostrander reports on the pollution pressure a growing population is putting on Puget Sound and its impact on the salmon, clams and other seafood and shellfish local Indian tribes depend on.
In a video accompanying Ostrander's article, members of the Suquamish tribe and local environmental activists discuss the importance of fishing to the tribe and the local community, as well as the danger that storm-water runoff poses to their way of life.
"We all live upstream," says Fran Wilshusen of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, so we all can fight storm-water runoff. The Nation spoke with activists from the NWIFC, the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, the Washington Environmental Council, the West Central Local Integrating Organization and the Suquamish Tribe about what you can do to keep pollution out of rivers and lakes.
1. Limit your use of pesticides and fertilizers.
2. Wash your car in a commercial car wash, not your driveway. If you wash it at home, do so on your lawn, preventing soap from entering storm drains. And fix any fluid leaks in your car promptly, or, as Chris Wilke from Puget Soundkeeper puts it, "Don't drip and drive!"
3. Scoop your pet's poop and don't litter. Not only is it gross to not pick up after your pet or yourself, it's bad for rivers, streams, and coastal areas.
4. Plant rain gardens or use rain barrels to absorb rainwater where it falls. Rain gardens are built into depressions so that water from impervious surfaces (such as driveways and roofs) will be absorbed into the ground and won't flow into local waterways, picking up dirt and pollution along the way. (You can find directions for building a rain garden here and a rain barrel here). Some cities, such as Seattle, even offer rebates for residents who build a rain garden on their property.
5. Make sure new developments in your community use green building technologies. The Washington Environmental Council and Resource Media collect stories of local businesses that have cut down on storm-water pollution in this way. For instance, in Seattle, a development called Piper Village uses pervious pavement so that rainwater is filtered on-site. The city of Mukilteo, also in Washington State, built a green City Hall using a combination of pervious pavement, bioswales (gently sloping troughs similar to rain gardens) and a grass-covered roof, which both insulates the building and collects water runoff.
6. Speak out. The Puget Soundkeeper Alliance organized its members to push state regulations that require cities and counties to incorporate green technologies in all new developments, and continues to force companies to comply through citizen lawsuits. Thanks to the organization's work, Washington State has some of the strongest regulations in the country.
7. Fight for funding to combat storm-water pollution. As Leonard Forsman, Chairman of the West Central Local Integrating Organization and member of the Suquamish Tribe, points out, infrastructure projects can be expensive and hard to fund, so it's important to support those efforts. Citizens can advocate for state and federal grant programs, or ask their city to implement a storm-water utility fee, a small tax used to fund local infrastructure improvements.
8. Have your state's water regulations kept up with science? States are responsible for implementing elements of the Clean Water Act and many of their standards are dangerously out of date.
9. Educate yourself and your community. In Seattle and some surrounding cities, storm-water drains are decorated with stencils that tell the community where runoff (and pollution) are going. If you see pollution flowing into or out of storm-water drains, be sure to report it. (You can find out more about Puget Soundkeeper's monitoring program here).
10. Support the hardworking folks fighting to protect local waterways. There are organizations similar to those we spoke to from Washington state all over the country. Find the people combating storm-water pollution in your community and get involved.
For even more information, read Madeline Ostrander's piece on storm-water pollution in Puget Sound and check out The Nation's joint action with the Natural Resources Defense Council to defend the Clean Water Act.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has said that he will support Title II reclassification, exactly what we need to ensure that the Internet remains a fair playing field for all. We've almost won the fight for real net neutrality.
But before the FCC votes on the rules on February 26, we have to ensure that cable industry lobbyists and their friends in Congress do not get in the way. They've already tried by pushing fake net-neutrality legislation that would protect cable and telephone companies from real oversight.
Write to Congress now and demand that your elected officials get out of the way and let the FCC do its job. Then to amplify your voice, use the "Internet Countdown" call tool created by the people behind last year's "Internet Slowdown."
John Nichols describes how "people power" is winning net neutrality.
To get yourself pumped to act, watch John Oliver's now classic rant on net neutrality that broke the FCC's website.

How do you make time for each child?

Same here... My kids are 17,8,5, and a 2 year, and one possibly coming in August if all goes well. Anyways I am kinda scared and nervous of the unknown. How am I going to spread myself all around...
Same here... My kids are 17,8,5, and a 2 year, and one possibly coming in August if all goes well. Anyways I am kinda scared and nervous of the unknown. How am I going to spread myself all around...
that is the struggle with a large family. mine are spaced farther apart so my oldest is almost 18 and my youngest is 16 months. their needs are all different ~ i have a his, mine and ours...so i only have 5 dd's half the time and i take full advantage!!! i simply ask them what they would like to do with mom that is special and then have a *date* night or time with just them! being divorced has actually made my life easier as i only have one dd fulltime! good luck ~ it's a challenge!!!
One thing DH and I do is take jsut one kid at a time with us if we need to run an errand. We get them a special treat ro stop at the park for fe wminutes or somethign like that to make it fun for them. I actually just got back from taking my 4 year old to the grocery store with me. We had a nice little chat and she chose donuts to bring home for everyone.

this may sound confusing but i try to spend unexpected time with them on purpose. I mean i might lay in bed one night and say i really need to spend time with #4 or whatever and then the next day i may happen to pick up a book off the floor and say who wants to read this and its her. Or my 6yo is sort of in the middle and not an overly demanding boy so he often gets missed cause he's so good (mind you i homeschool him so we are together a fair bit) but i will often take my cue from what ever is around me (with a house full of little ones one only needs look to the floor) i say let's play cards well the little sisters have gotten their hands on them so a third of them are missing and spur of the moment i say i will give you one card and now pick one of these three, now add them up. And before you know it he is loving a math flashcard game with a mishmash deck of playing cards! Not to mention i simultaneously am showing the Ace, King, Jack and Queen, as letter recognition to my 3 year old as 1 year old gets the scraps. I really am a firm beleiver of quantity time over quality time, yet quality in that quantity is important. My point to this long winded response is, be aware that you want to spend quality moments in all the quantity of time you spend with them. Love them on purpose i guess. The more you have one reality is that there is little time to schedule in 1 on 1. At least for me, but with a house full of people we still manage to find one on one moments if that makes sense. Don't worry the multitasking mother in you will find simple moments to treasure each one.
I am a huge fan of the 5 love langauges books by gary chapman. I agree iwth the principle as well as finding it highly effective with my family. If you haven't read them the idea is that everyone gives and receives love best in one of five ways. (we may like many areas, but have a "best" area) They are touch, time, words,gifts, and acts of service.
My oldest is a time kid. (as am I) I can do all the nice things for her I want, talk with her, give her things and thats nice, but if I don't take time for her to just spend with her she doesn't feel loved and the perception of feeling loved is whats important. So with her I always (or as much as possible) made a point to have a few min at bedtime at the very least to go sit on her bed and talk or to ask her to do something with me.
My 14 yo its words. To go a day without praising him for something however small is to go a day without reading (his favorite activity) And again with him, when I go to tuck them in I make sure to have something I can praise him about.
My 11 is touch, yes he is 11 but still wants his morning snuggle or will sit next to me when we watch a movie.
My 10 yo (and hubby) its acts of service.to make a special treat or know where something is she is looking for is major wow factor.
By meeting their individual best love language daily and trying to hit the rest weekly, I find my kids to be loving and happy, as well as delightful to be around even in these older years.
Homeschool mom to 4 dc's. DD's19 and 10 and Ds's 12 and 14. Yes, I know I have issues with spelling. I apologize in advance.
I'm expecting my 4th but seriously considering a 5th, so I can't really give advice on this topic but I just sent DH a message that I want 5 love languages for Christmas. I've heard so many wonderful things about that book & I could definiately use a good tool to managing my marriage & relationship with my children =) Many times I think I'm doing an okay job, and other days I feel like I've let someone down =/
We have three versions 5 love langauges of children, 5 love languages (geared to those in a relationship) and the mens version of the 5 love languages and prefer the mens version. Just gives better concrete examples.

I'm brushing up on my general programing skills and I've come across a snag. I'm writing a program that simulates a colony of bunnys. Once this program starts it is autonomous, however, at any point the user should be able to press the 'k' key to cull the population by half. I can't think of a way to do this without pausing the program to wait for user input. Nor can I think of a way to make it so that the program will respond immediately (the program runs in semi-real time using the sleep command). Is there a way to accomplish this without multi-treading and years more experience?
I think this article comes close to what you want to do w/o involving ncurses.
Take a look @ the GetAsyncKeyState Windows API call. You should be able to find a suitable place to shoehorn this into your code to detect the keypress.
I'm not sure if this is standard C++, but you can use a C function that checks whether a key is available:
EDIT: as Zan Lynx mentioned, this is not standard C++, or even standard C, which is why there is no header. It will work fine in Visual C++ or DOS C++ compilers.
A library like Qt can help you quite a bit. You would create an "application" object, derived from
Try ncurses it's pretty standard in UNIX enviorments. It has special functions to wait for user input with timeout in case nobody press any key.
C++ doesn't know anything about keyboards, so any answer to this depends on your operating system and its libraries.

IU to honor women who pioneered basketball program
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The roads that lead to and from Bloomington were home to Bea Gorton for the many long hours and longer days she spent with her hands on the wheel of an old, university-owned van and a dozen young faces in the rearview mirror.
Gorton, Indiana's first women's basketball coach, drove her team across the Midwest in the early days of the program. Then she coached the games.
Then she turned that van around and did it all over again.
This was not a pampered life. This was merely the beginning.
In an era of little support or money for women's athletics, Indiana made it work. In the process, the Hoosiers' women's basketball teams of the early 1970s enjoyed the greatest era the program has known.
Now, that era of extraordinary basketball will be immortalized.
IU will celebrate those teams this weekend at Assembly Hall, where two dozen former players from that era will be recognized.
Indiana will salute its women's basketball pioneers during a special halftime ceremony at Saturday's men's game against Northwestern, before raising a banner to commemorate the Hoosiers' 1973 trip to the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Final Four during Sunday's women's game against Minnesota.
"I'm delighted and thrilled for the recognition of the players who were there at the beginning of the program," said Gorton, who coached IU to a 73-28 record from 1972-76. "We had great success, and the players worked hard at their craft."
Women's basketball became a varsity sport at Indiana in the fall of 1971, long before there was any consideration for scholarships, facilities or program support for women's athletics.
But those Hoosiers found a way to thrive.
They sandwiched AIAW Elite Eight appearances in 1972 and 1974 around their Final Four trip in 1973.
And they made lifelong memories while doing so.
"I couldn't wait to get out of class to head to the gym. We loved it," said Debbie (Millbern) Powers, who helped lead IU to its lone Final Four appearance as a senior team captain.
Although there was glory to be had at that time in the program's history, it remained a barebones existence.
The school provided little else but uniforms, which weren't much more than shirts with pressed-on numbers. Players bought their own shoes and washed their own laundry. Their practice uniforms were simple combinations of T-shirts and shorts. They didn't even have their own locker room.
"We would change in the regular, general population physical education locker room," Powers told The Herald-Times. "We had a lock and a locker, and that was that."
Players were attracted to the program through fliers posted around campus. Practice ran five days a week, floating from the HPER building to the fieldhouse and wherever they could get a space in between. The women of the era don't remember having regular access to Assembly Hall for practices and games until sometime in the mid '70s.
"We really didn't know anything else," forward Carol Kegley said. "We didn't have a lot of fancy stuff, but that's all we knew. We played, because we absolutely loved the game. As I look back on it, it was a blast. I always tell people they were the most fun four years of my life."
IU scheduled a dozen or so games per season at the time and, without having the resources for scouting, the contests could become adventures. While a team like Indiana could handle — and beat — big schools like Louisville and Ohio State, it wasn't uncommon to see the Hoosiers struggle against smaller colleges like Franklin and Goshen.
"No one had the money for scouting or recruiting," Powers said. "You just faced them on the court. We wouldn't know what a team would look like until we saw them warm up. To tell the truth, it made coaching much more difficult. Our coach would have to watch the team warm up, and we'd meet in the huddle, and she'd say, 'OK, No. 32 is left-handed. Debbie, you're going to guard No. 41. She looks tall, like a post player. You're going to guard her.' We had no clue until we got on the court."
The year 1973 saw the Hoosiers complete a nearly perfect regular season run before advancing to the National Championship round in Queens, N.Y.
And then something funny happened.
The old van that Gorton used to drive her team to games? That stayed at home. Instead of driving, the university flew the team to New York on its private plane.
"We thought we were really fancy, flying on the IU plane," said Kegley, a local product from Bloomington High School. "In my eyes, it was one of the best experiences of my life."
Those teams also produced a player who would go on to become one of the most decorated coaches in women's basketball history.
Tara VanDerveer was still a student at Albany in 1972, but made the trip to Illinois State to watch the teams compete in the national round. The levels of play and competition at Albany weren't to her liking, and she was looking for transfer options.
"We had just gotten beaten by 3 points by Immaculata, the team that went on to win three consecutive national championships," Powers recalled. "We're sitting in the bleachers, and Tara came up and goes, 'Hello, my name is Tara VanDerveer. I go to college in New York, and I'm going to join your team next year.'
"We said, 'OK, awesome. Why is that?' She said, 'I just love the way you all play, your style and your aggressiveness.'"
It set in motion an IU career that landed VanDerveer in the school's athletic hall of fame. It wasn't until later that she received worldwide acclaim for coaching Stanford to NCAA Championships in 1990 and 1992, among a list of other notable accomplishments in her Hall of Fame career.
While in Bloomington, she played for a coach and with teammates who also knew something about winning.
Now, they'll all be remembered together with a banner in Assembly Hall.

After being linked with many of the higher profile FBS job vacancies this offseason, Cincinnati head coach Butch Jones has decided to firm up his commitment to the Bearcats. Jones and school have agreed to terms on a contract extension that will extend through the 2017 season.
"I think in the next couple of days we'll be able to announce something," Jones said after Monday's bowl practice. "We say we're building the best college football program in America. We have a great thing here. There's a lot of excitement here."
Jones has reportedly been working with athletic director Whit Babcock on a new contract for several weeks. The term sheet has been signed, but the contract still must be approved by the Board of Trustees. The Bearcats are currently preparing to play Vanderbilt in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31 in Memphis.
Jones helped lead the Bearcats on a five-win turnaround in his second season after a disappointing 4-8 finish in 2010. With their win over Connecticut in the regular season finale, Cincinnati earned a share of their third Big East conference title in four years. Jones' impressive turnaround earned him Big East Coach of the Year honors, as well as some attention from other programs looking for a new coach. The second-year Cincinnati coach was contacted by North Carolina, Illinois, and UCLA regarding their open coaching positions, but Jones never expressed serious interest in any of the opportunities.
"I believe in what we're building," Jones explained. "I think there's so many great things to building a successful football program and not just a successful team. We have great practice facilities now. We're in a conference that we can be extremely competitive in, we have a great fan base. We've got a great place to attract the top-caliber student athletes to."
Before departing for the Notre Dame position, Brian Kelly led the Bearcats to three straight 10+ win seasons from 2007-2009. With a win over Vanderbilt in the bowl game on New Years Eve, Jones will have Cincinnati back at the 10-win mark for the fourth time in five years.

I just read in a Dodd article about the Big-12 being a big money maker. Basically, Big-12 teams can expect to earn $20 million plus from media rights, and probably more after 2014-15. I think BE currently has a payout of around $10 million per school. With Boise St, Houston, and SD State coming in, Cincy and Louisville will travel as much, and maybe more than WVU will in the Big-12. So if you must travel, why not go where the money is good? The Big East will still struggle for respect and if the BCS does away with AQ bids then what? The western schools won't need the BE anymore and will likely look to move out, plus the ACC will likely come raiding again when they are ready to go to 16 members. Long term, the Big East is in serious trouble on several fronts. I think it's also a real possibility that the catholic schools will get sick of football and break away.

I will agree that i have really only had issues with the younger fans. The older WV fans seem to be polite and knowledgeable. Big East football is currently better off (on the field). WV has had success but overall what have Cuse and Pitt done lately????? I'll take the 5 we got over those 3 for sure. You may be right however that it may not be sustainable. I guess we'll see. For cincy, wherever we go I just hope we stay with Louisville.

Boooo! 99.99% of the bad rep WVU fans get are caused by the actions of drunken idiots, most of whom are students. Don't buy into the hype. The truth is I feel bad for the schools we are leaving behind. I don't think Big East football is viable long term. It's very unfortunate, and I hope it doesn't play out that way, but my gut tells me the Big East will not survive as a football conference if the BCS status quo and conference realignment continues. I'd like to see Louisville and Cincy taken by the Big 12, maybe even Rutgers.

I can't be certain but is this a WV fan actually being cordial to an opposing team? Is it cold in hell today?

Butch Jones is a heck of a nice guy and a good coach. I was pulling for him to take over for Rich Rod back in 2007. I'm glad to see him stay off the coaching carousel and stick with the Bearcats. I'd even like to see him lead Cincy into the Big 12 sometime down the road. Good in the Liberty Bowl to all you Bearcats out there.

1 out of 2 people found this instruction helpful
In an effort to avoid buying a new refrigerator (sales people had said it sounded like a bad compressor and I likely needed a new one) or spending $$$ on a service call. I researched the problem online and determined that self-defrost failure was typically related to 3 parts; defrost timer, defrost thermastat, and/or evaporator heator. I first replaced the timer. However, the problem persisted, so I then replaced the thermastat and heater. The old thermsatat was visibly damaged as the cap had been distorted and was nearly pushed off the body of the part. Since installation of the new parts the fridge has functioned like new.Total costs for the three parts was under $140.

The first ever night-long session proved too much for Britain's House of Lords, with ageing lawmakers sneaking off for short snoozes in the historic House of Westminster itself.
Beds had been laid out and dormitories marked for different sexes and political parties as the House of Elders debated the issue of reforming UK's voting system.
Free tea and biscuits were served all night-long, but the Lord's bar downed the shutters at its scheduled closing 2230 hours GMT. But, soup and chocolates were at hand from the nearby Bishops sandwich bar.
This was the setting for the first trial of strength of the coalition era between the government and Labour in the House of Lords.
As the House hotly debated the issue, older peers sneaked off to take short snoozes in five rooms set aside, so peers could rest their heads between votes.
With the Leader of the Lords, Lord Strathclyde, accusing the opposition Labour party of slowing down the proceedings, the Monday nights sitting was the longest in living memory and went on well into Tuesday morning.
"It was a test of stamina," said 72-year-old peer David Steel. He said in his thirteen years in the House of Lords, he had never known an all night sitting.
"There were lot of very older members and I don't know how they survived," Lord Steel told BBC radio, adding, he found it a struggle.
While all night debates are a regular feature in the House of Commons, it is a rarity in the House of Lords.
The peers held the debate as the voting reform bill needs to become Law by the middle of the February. If they do not, then existing electoral law says there will not be enough time for officials to prepare for the referendum which is scheduled for May 5.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The turn is Europe is now undeniable, Jim Cramer announced to his "Mad Money" viewers Monday. He said the turn in Europe will have a huge impact on U.S. stocks. However, so far absolutely no one is talking about it.
How did Cramer come to be so confident Europe's bottom has finally arrived? Because companies told him so in their conference calls. That was certainly the case with
General Electric
(GE), a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust,
Management at Honeywell (HON) noted that while it's not ready to declare victory in Europe, things are indeed getting better. Meanwhile, PPG (PPG) said on its conference call that it, too, is seeing stability in Europe.Cramer said this trend was confirmed by Ingersoll-Rand (IR) and Johnson Controls (JCI), along with non-industrial names like VF Corp (VFC) and even Manpower (MAN), which saw hiring pick up in France, Italy and even hard-hit Spain. Cramer said the time is now to being investing in any of these names, but he prefers the Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK), which offers exposure to them all.

Inner-city drama on teen pregnancy opens at Playwrights Horizons
Hanging around a tattoo parlor, three inner-city teenagers impulsively agree to a pregnancy pact as "Milk Like Sugar" begins, and Kirsten Greenidge's insightful 100-minute drama ruefully observes the foolishness of their decision.
Opening on Tuesday at Playwrights Horizons in a very well-acted production, "Milk Like Sugar" may be too obviously cautionary at times in its worthy message, but Greenidge's flavorful language, believable characters and concise storytelling give the audience an absorbing 100 minutes.
Appealingly portrayed by Angela Lewis, the play's central figure is Annie, who soon doubts whether it's a good idea to get pregnant at 16.
Her pals, the reckless Talisha (Cherise Boothe) and empty-headed Margie (Nikiya Mathis), believe it's "gonna be mad cool yo" to pop out babies and increasingly pressure Annie to share their experience.
Such thoughtless hunger for a baby's unconditional love suggests the absence of affection in the girls' families. Certainly there is little love shown in the relationship between Annie and her bitter mom Myrna, balefully depicted by Tonya Pinkins, with a cigarette always dangling from her curled lip.
Their constant chatter about deluxe brands of phones, clothes and accessories reveal how disconnected these teens are from their impoverished reality.
Two boys, earnest Malik (J. Mallory-McCree) and the nice but fairly clueless Antwoine (LeRoy McClain), figure into the drama as does Keera (Adrienne C. Moore), a churchgoing plain Jane who points Annie towards an alternative way to live. The play's outcome is not totally bleak but scarcely can be termed a happy ending.
Director Rebecca Taichman obtains excellent performances from her ensemble – that Angela Lewis is something special to watch as the heroine – and fields a smooth production. Fluent settings by Mimi Lien, hotly-tinted lighting by Justin Townsend, character-insightful clothes by Toni-Leslie James and effective music by Andre Pluess are integral components in this capable production of a thoughtful play.

By contrast, state-of-the-art, safe playgrounds, like the one built by the nonprofit group KaBoom! at Latin American Montessori Bilingual school in Washington, DC, are designed not just for what adults think kids will do, but for what kids really will do.
The same rules apply to home playgrounds.
In fact, more children get hurt on home playgrounds than public playgrounds, because park and recreation departments hear about proper safety practices, whereas parents often don't.
Playground equipment is often attached using 's' hooks. If you can slide a dime between the opening, it is too wide -- another entanglement hazard. Kids clothing -- a neckline or a hood -- can get stuck on this open s-hook and strangle them.
The National Playground Safety Institute developed a list of 12 "Dirty Dozen" hazards that parents should look out for. I've covered a few so far in my report, but here are the rest.
Improper Protective Surfacing
As we already said, improper protective surfacing can be a big hazard for kids. The following are unacceptable surfaces as determined by the NPSI:
Packed Earth
Acceptable surfaces:
Engineered Wood Fiber
Wood Chips
Sand / Pea Gravel
Synthetic / Rubber Tiles
Shredded Rubber
Poured-in-Place Rubber
Trip Hazards
According to the NPSI, tripping hazards are "created by play structure components or items on the playground."
Some examples include:
Exposed Concrete Footings
Abrupt Changes in Surface Elevation
Tree Roots
Tree Stumps
Lack of Supervision
One of the best ways to keep your kids safe is to make sure somebody is keeping an eye on them.
"Young children are constantly challenging their own abilities, often not being able to recognize potential hazards," the NPSI said. "It is estimated that over 40 percent of all playground injuries are directly related to lack of supervision."
Age-Inappropriate Activities
Safe play equipment is different for a 3-year-old than a 12-year-old. The NPSI recommends separating play areas for preschoolers (age 2 to 5) from school-age kids (age 5 to 12).
Sharp Edges
Give the playground equipment a look before your kid goes nuts on it. Keep an eye out for sharp edges or points that could cut skin.
Equipment Not Recommended for Public Playgrounds
Sometimes it's just a matter of playing on the wrong equipment. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends the following equipment not be used on playgrounds:
Heavy swings such as animal figure swings
Multiple occupancy/glider-type Swings
Free-swinging ropes that may fray or form a loop
Swinging exercise rings and trapeze bars

|Bryant, Kupchak endorse Buss heirs
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 19 February 2013 16:36
Bryant said Tuesday that the siblings are ``following the greatest owner in sports,'' but he believes that in their own way the Buss offspring will have success.
The elder Buss died Monday at age 80 of kidney failure as a complication of the cancer that he had struggled with for the last 18 months.
Bryant recalled visiting Buss in the hospital on a day when the owner was in good spirits. They discussed Bryant's career, which began when the Lakers acquired him as a 17-year-old, Magic Johnson and the ``Showtime'' era Lakers, and the rival Boston Celtics.
``That was a good day,'' Bryant said.

Court candidate Granholm to be at White House
By AP
Washington, DC – WASHINGTON, DC (AP)
Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, one of President Barack Obama's candidates for the Supreme Court, will be at the White House on Tuesday. An administration official says the Democratic governor is coming to the White House for an event unrelated to the Supreme Court. It is not clear whether Granholm will be meeting with Obama about the upcoming vacancy on the court.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because details of
Tuesday's event have not been announced.
Granholm is among more than six people Obama is considering for the seat on the court now held by Justice David Souter, who is retiring this summer.
The 50-year-old Granholm is a former federal prosecutor and
Michigan attorney general.

A Dunedin man who has leased a post office box in South
Dunedin for the past three decades has objected to a New
Zealand Post decision to move the boxes away from the main
shopping centre.
New Zealand Post has sent letters to all 477 box holders,
saying the post office box facility would move to the Dunedin
mail centre in Strathallan St.
The boxes are in a one-storey building next to the South
Dunedin PostShop in King Edward St, which will stay where it
The letter said the move was ''around 900m away'', but
Corstorphine resident and box-holder Harold Browett said that
involved negotiating a busy Andersons Bay Rd, and travelling
from the shopping centre to an industrial area.
While that was one thing for people with cars, it was another
for those without.
New Zealand Post responded it had an internal seismic policy
that ''requires a high level of compliance for all the
buildings we occupy'' for the safety of staff and customers.
''This building is leased and fell below our seismic
Mr Browett said he found the post office box more reliable
than the postal service to his home, which he said arrived
sometimes in the morning and other times in the afternoon.
He was surprised to ''suddenly'' get a letter to say the
boxes would close on August 15 and move to Strathallan St.
While Mr Browett had a car, others in the area did not, and
the move would be disruptive, he said.
He was also upset the telephone number on the letter took him
to an employee outside Dunedin.
''I was brusquely told to ring someone in Christchurch.''
Mr Browett said he felt he had a contract with New Zealand
Post until next March for the box in King Edward St,
something he would write to the company about.
''I think they just want to use the old mail centre,'' he
New Zealand Post said through a spokeswoman an upgrade to the
building would have been uneconomic for the property owner
and inconvenient for other tenants in the building.
Asked if the company had considered the disruption to users
in making its decision, she said once it was determined that
the site did not meet seismic standards, New Zealand Post had
been unable to find a suitable site nearby.
''The new location at the Dunedin Mail Centre is
approximately 900m away, or a 7-10 minute flat walk.
''This site offers better parking facilities and a safe
environment for both staff and customers.''
She said the PostShop met the company's seismic policy.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
A hundred and fifty years and who knows how many earthquakes
and these buildings are still here yet those who know have us
running from them like scared mice because of something which
happened on totally different topogaphy 300 km

Ruling Party On Track To Keep Power In Ukraine
Ukraine's parliamentary elections on Sunday pitted an unpopular government against a fragmented opposition. The ruling Party of the Regions is predicted to hang on to its majority, despite widespread allegations of repression and corruption. One of the main opposition leaders, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, is in prison on charges on what her supporters say are trumped up corruption charges. The next most popular opposition leader is a heavyweight boxing champion with no political experience.

Customer reviews
By Katrina Graham 04 Aug 2011
I just read the last page of My Story Can Beat Up Your Story. This is a book full of passion and hard-nosed tough love. After years of writing award winning shorts I turned to my first feature and felt stumped at how to run a marathon when I'd only trained in sprints. I'm now revising my act structure using the principles in the book and taking up Jeffrey Schechter's one year writing challenge - to write one original spec screenplay, one original half-hour tv pilot, one one-hour drama writing sample and one half-hour family comedy script. I recommend this book - it will make you feel like someone's in your corner.

Boundaries: Long Island Rail Road tracks to the north, Woodhaven Boulevard to the east, cemeteries to the south, and Fresh Pond Road to the west.
Transportation: From Manhattan, take the L train to Myrtle Avenue and transfer to the Q55 until you see funeral parlors and cemeteries. From Carroll Gardens, take the M train to Myrtle Avenue and transfer similarly. Motorists can weave through Jackie Robinson Expressway traffic to exit 4, which leads you to Forest Park Drive.
Main Drags: Myrtle Avenue attracts street ballers, stroller-pushers, and sketchpad artists of all ages, with banks and bagel shops dotting the sidewalks. Austin Street answers late-night calls for food and fun, with its smattering of delis and bars.
Average Price to Rent: One-bedrooms: $900 to $1100 ($800 to $1000); two-bedrooms: $1200 to $1400 ($1000 to $1300); three-bedrooms: $1200 to $1600 ($1300 to $1500).
Average Price to Buy: Two-bedroom houses range in price from $300,000 to $450,000 ($300,000 to $400,000); three-bedrooms from $650,000 to $900,000 ($400,000 to $500,000). Sleek, ultramodern castle-like homes are also available.
Green Space: Patchy foliage lines residential streets, but the ominous Forest Park dominates, featuring tennis courts, golf courses, and plenty of space for sun-bathers.
Local Landmarks: Though technically in Forest Hills, Eddies Sweet Shop (105-29 Metropolitan Avenue) deserves award, award, and award for its authentically churned ice cream that Eddie has reportedly been making in his basement for over 50 years. The Q54 bus will take you there. A landmark like no other.
Best Restaurants: Glendale Diner (71-08 Myrtle Avenue), located on an unassuming street corner with easy parking, heats up on weekends, when teenagers' table-manners turn to mush but french fries remain crisp. Belmont Steaks (79-11 Myrtle Avenue), a costlier, fourtysomething divorcée-magnet with long tables and dimmer decor, serves pork chops dressed in applejack gravy for $14.95. Sal's Sweet Shop (65-47 Myrtle Avenue) offers a viscous vanilla egg cream, and let's not skip over Glendale Pizza (68-27 Myrtle Avenue), which serves a scrumptious upside-down Sicilian slice (cheese on bottom, sauce on top) for the price of a subway token.
Best Bars: Dan Folley's (81-01 Myrtle Avenue), an "upscale Irish pub," according to a host there, offers private booths for wining and dining in the lap of luxury. Clientele seems chiller at Eagles Pub (65-52 Myrtle Ave.), which looks and feels like a post-game crash pad by contrast, but serves similarly satiating drinks.
Politicians: Councilman Dennis P. Gallagher, Republican; Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio, Democrat; State Senator Serphin R. Maltese, Republican; and Congresspeople Joseph Crowley, Nydia M. Velazquez, and Anthony D. Weiner, all Democrats.
Happenings: St. Pancras School (69-20 Myrtle Avenue) offers recreational sports, word has it, but Forest Park is the place to scour for summertime concerts, circuses, and carousel rides. Chess players and glassblowers can meet through Christ the King's continuing education classes (718-366-7400 ext. 270); previous experience is not required.
Crime Stats: The 104th Precinct serves Glendale, Ridgewood, Middle Village, and Maspeth. As of November 22, 2005, it reported 2 murders, 209 rapes, 157 robberies, 431 felony assaults, and 477 burglaries. (As of September 14, it reported one murder, down one from last year; 10 rapes, down four; 279 robberies, up 10; 159 felonious assaults, up two; and 540 burglaries, down 10.)

HoopsHype Tyler Hansbrough rumors
The Raptors have five ending contracts: Amir Johnson ($7 million), Landry Fields ($6.25 million), Chuck Hayes ($5.95 million), Lou Williams ($5.45 million) and Tyler Hansbrough ($3.32 million). It's unlikely the Raptors look at anything involving Williams, but it seems that any combination of the others would get traction from Toronto's side. The Raptors do own almost all of their future picks both in the first round and the second round, with their 2015 second going to Atlanta as the only traded pick at this point. The Raptors do have a couple of pick swap options, but for the most part they have draft picks to play with if so inclined. Basketball Insiders
Charles F. Gardner: Raptors will not have Tyler Hansbrough due to a right shoulder AC sprain suffered Wed. vs. Memphis. Lucas Nogueira active for Toronto. Twitter @cf_gardner
Though DeRozan didn't make the trip, Patrick Patterson did and is expected to play despite a broken nose. Fellow power forward Tyler Hansbrough remains questionable with a deep bone bruise in his ankle. Hansbrough will not play until he doesn't feel any pain, as he doesn't want to risk a long-term injury. Toronto Sun
Tyler Hansbrough is not expecting a long absence from the Raptors lineup. The man who has become the poster boy for physicality on the Toronto roster took an elbow directly on top of his left shoulder in the loss Friday in Phoenix. An MRI Saturday in Los Angeles showed the injury to be nothing more than a sprain. "I don't think it's going to be very long," Hansbrough said Sunday before the game. "It's already feeling better and it's just a matter of me being able to play with it." Toronto Sun
Metta World Peace: Tyler Hansbrough is a tough kid . Stop be silly people!!! He is going to be a champ one day. Keep being tough Tyler!! I would play on Tyler's team anyday.. you guys are silly!! Stop adding fire to pre season ball. Fighting doesnt make u tough. win'n does! Tyler Hansbrough, dont listen to these fools. Keep being s hard nose ball player!!! Twitter
On a play that became a video hit on the web, Hansbrough got rough during a scramble underneath getting entangled with World Peace. When World Peace followed Hansbrough out of the scramble, the former UNC star turned, realized it was the former Ron Artest and patted him on the stomach, saying, "My bad. My bad.'' When asked if he saw the play, Anthony laughed. "I was standing right there," Anthony said. "I had front-row, courtside seats. I saw Tyler's apology. It was all good." New York Post
Toronto's Tyler Hansbrough appeared to be upset when he got tangled up with a member of the Knicks during a Monday-night preseason game. He was upset up until the moment he saw that he was tangled up with Metta World Peace. For The Win
Al Iannazzone: Metta World Peace and Tyler Hansbrough were in each other's faces in the game. Metta said he likes Hasnbrough, likes banging with him. Twitter @Al_Iannazzone
The Toronto Raptors announced Monday they have signed free-agent forward-centre Tyler Hansbrough to a multi-year contract. Per team policy, financial details were not disclosed. "Tyler brings physicality and a winning attitude to our club," said Raptors President and General Manager, Basketball Operations Masai Ujiri. "We are extremely excited to bring him to Toronto."

Ryan Wolstat: Tyler Hansbrough will be collecting about $3 million in the first year of his deal with the #Raptors. Twitter @WolstatSun

A careful dance is ahead for the Norfolk County District Attorney and an organization that broadcasts Quincy court proceedings on the Internet after a ruling allowed the publishing of a video that identifies the alleged underage victim of a sex crime
A careful dance is ahead for the Norfolk County District Attorney and an organization that broadcasts Quincy court hearings on the Internet after a high court ruling allowed the publishing of a video that identifies the alleged victim of an underage sex crime.
The Supreme Judicial Court ruling, released Wednesday, allows OpenCourt to archive for public viewing. OpenCourt has agreed to redact from the video any information that would identify the minor.
Click on the image to watch the video of the Norman Barnes hearing on May 27, 2011, posted by OpenCourt following a ruling by the state supreme court. Free registration is required to use the archive. The hearing begins 3 hours 42 minutes and 50 seconds nto the day's proceedings. The video was edited to protect the identity of witnesses and victims.
The decision also assigns a court committee to craft guidelines for the grant-funded OpenCourt project, which began streaming last May.
(Download the ruling on the right side of the page.)
"We applaud the court for recognizing the need for rules and regulations," Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey said. "Had we had rules and regulations in place, I wouldn't have had to go before the Supreme Judicial Court to protect the rights of a 15-year-old."
In question is the dangerousness hearing last May of Norman Barnes, a Boston man charged with kidnapping a 15-year-old girl and enticing her into prostitution in Quincy and other cities.
The court agreed with Open Court's argument that prohibiting the posting of the video constituted prior restraint, which is unconstitutional.
"We conclude that any order restricting OpenCourt's ability to publish ... existing audio and video recordings of court room proceedings represents a form of prior restraint on the freedom of the press and speech protected by the First Amendment," the court ruled.
OpenCourt executive producer John Davidow said the case was about whether the state could control what OpenCourt, a grant-funded effort of WBUR radio, can do with news content it has gathered.
"What we will not do is be taking orders from the state on editorial matters," Davidow said. "Those matters are best handled by OpenCourt and WBUR and the press. That's the position that we took in the case."
After the ruling was released, Morrissey's office sent WBUR a request reiterating that all references to the victim's identity should be removed. He said there were 22 of those references, including the naming of the girl's aunt and uncle, who share her surname.
Page 2 of 2 - The ruling also addressed an adult defendant, Charles Diorio, who claimed the video archiving of his Quincy hearing would violate his rights to a fair trial in a pending matter in another county. The court dismissed that argument.
The decision represents a fresh clarification of the standards and rules under which the media has access to court proceedings, said Jeff Hermes, a member of OpenCourt's advisory board and director of the digital media law project at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society.
"The court was not prepared to shut the OpenCourt project down over these kinds of concerns," he said.
Davidow said the SJC decision, which details the legal principles behind restricting access to court proceedings, makes clear the sensitivity required in broadcasting them.
"This ruling hardly emboldens OpenCourt, and in fact reminds OpenCourt of how fine and how important a line there is between the right to a fair trial and the freedom of the press," he said.
Prior to the Barnes hearing, the district attorney moved to have OpenCourt's cameras shut off. A judge, who instructed the victim's name not be mentioned in court, denied the request.
He later ordered OpenCourt to redact its video after the victim's name was accidentally mentioned. The order was stayed pending Morrissey's appeal to the Supreme Judicial Court.
The court faulted the district attorney for not providing affidavits or other evidence that would enable a judge to verify that disclosing the victim's identity would cause her psychological or physical harm. It also said detailed findings of fact were required to prove that no reasonable, less restrictive alternative to an outright prohibition on posting the video would protect the state's interests.
Morrissey pushed back, saying other high court decisions have established that the identification of an underage sex crime victim leads to trauma.
"A person of ordinary intelligence and understanding would know the kind of damage that can be done to a minor in such circumstances," he said. "Common sense should be the rule to follow."
