Student Veterans of America (SVA), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on addressing the needs and concerns of American military veterans in higher education. SVA is best known for being an umbrella organization for student veterans' groups that advocates for improvements in veterans educational benefits. Its efforts, combined with other veterans' service organizations, led to passage of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Senator Jim Webb (D-VA), a lead sponsor of the legislation, has cited SVA's efforts as one of the primary reasons the new G.I. Bill was signed into law on June 30, 2008.[1]

SVA has two major components: the executive leadership staff at SVA National Headquarters, and the on-campus SVA chapters of student veterans. The local SVA chapters are student groups that have formed on college and university campuses to provide peer-to-peer networks for veterans who are attending those schools. The chapters are designed to be an advocate for student veterans, and to help bridge the campus-to-career transition. They coordinate on-campus and community outreach activities, facilitate pre-professional networking, and provide a touchstone for student veterans in higher education.[2] These SVA chapters are an important part of ensuring that every veteran is successful after their service.
The executive leadership staff, led by President and CEO D. Wayne Robinson, facilitates communication between the SVA chapters, connects them with external resources, and organizes these chapters to advocate at the state and national level for the common needs of student veterans.
Prior to taking the helm at SVA, Robinson served in the U.S. Army and rose to the pinnacle of enlisted ranks as a Command Sergeant Major. During his career he held many leadership positions in Artillery, Special Operations, and Recruiting and graduated from every enlisted leadership course offered by the Army. After his military career, he graduated with an MBA from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago, where his team won the Global New Venture Challenge. Under his guidance, the chapter network has continued to expand along with the programs that SVA provides.
Chapter Affiliates[edit]
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently highlighted the inextricable link between education and employment in noting that over 60% of all new jobs created from now until 2018 will require a postsecondary degree or credential.[3] Veterans, however, face significant barriers to degree attainment that range from feeling like an outsider on a campus of 18-year-old traditional students to coping with the visible and invisible wounds of war.[4] SVA classifies these barriers into three categories: administrative, reintegration, and academic. Administrative challenges are linked to accessing benefits and navigating campus bureaucracies. Reintegration issues arise as transitioning veterans try to develop a new identity and sense of belonging. Academic struggles typically stem from long periods away from academia due to military service. Vincent Tinto, renowned education researcher, notes that without peer support these challenges can become insurmountable obstacles that lead to isolation and high dropout rates.[5]
SVA chapters do not pay any dues to associate with the national organization and each group is encouraged to utilize national best-practices to address local issues. A recent RAND study noted that 61% of student veterans found the support they received from fellow veterans as "quite or extremely helpful to the pursuit of their educational goals." [6] SVA chapters are fulfilling a critical function on hundreds of campuses nationwide.
National Organization[edit]
Student Veterans of America's national office is located in Washington, DC and consists of a number of professional, paid staff members. Professional staff leadership bios and more information on the organization can be found on the Student Veterans of America homepage.
SVA's Predecessors[edit]
Before the end of World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt signed into law the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, otherwise known as the G.I. Bill of Rights.[7] After demobilizing, returning veterans flooded colleges and universities around the country. Not only did these student veterans face basic challenges associated with reintegrating into civilian life, but schools were unprepared for this influx of students, which led to additional problems for veterans like severe housing shortages and lack of transitional assistance. Student veterans banded together, forming peer-to-peer support networks to overcome these challenges and earn their college degrees.
Through the 70s, 80s, and 90s, veterans continued to transition to campus following their military service, albeit in smaller numbers. The revised Montgomery G.I. Bill was offered as a recruitment incentive for the all-volunteer force. Some of the local student veteran groups that formed on campuses after conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, like those at Northern Illinois University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, still exist today.
SVA's Genesis – The Post-9/11 G.I. Bill[edit]
Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. launched Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) (Afghanistan) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) (Iraq). As OEF and OIF veterans returned home to use G.I. Bill benefits, they found that their campuses did not provide adequate support services to assist student veterans as they worked towards their educational goals.
Lacking support, student veterans decided to organize on campuses across the country. These groups began to connect with one another through social media - spreading best practices, sharing success stories, and supporting fellow chapters to further strengthen the student veteran community. In 2008, members from roughly 20 schools convened in Chicago to formalize this grassroots movement and found Student Veterans of America.
SVA was officially incorporated between the 18th and 20 January 2008 to provide programs, resources, and support to the ever-evolving network of local student veteran organizations—today known as SVA chapters.
Concurrently, SVA and a number of Veteran Service Organizations were tirelessly advocating for an overhaul of the G.I. Bill to address the needs of the 21st Century student veteran. Six months after SVA's founding, President George W. Bush signed into law the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
Programs & Initiatives[edit]
With nearly 1,000 chapters, SVA has established a number of programs and services to meet the needs of an ever-growing constituency. These programs and services fall into 5 strategic initiatives: 1) Increase Support for Chapters, 2) Invest in Data & Research, 3) Build a Thriving Alumni Network, 4) Invest in High-Impact Partnerships, and 5) Advocate Effectively for Student Veterans.
Increase Support For Chapters[edit]
The heart of SVA is the student veteran led chapter. To support this growing network, SVA invests in high-impact programs that sustain chapters and empower student veterans to achieve their academic goals.
SVA also hosts an annual National Conference. While the conference theme changes each year, networking, the sharing of best-practices, and a thriving national community of student veterans always remain constant.
The annual programs are supplemented by scholarship opportunities and initiatives. During the 2013-2014 semesters, SVA offered a variety of scholarship opportunities, including ones for students studying STEM fields, film, and business. Also, SVA and the Home Depot Foundation helped student veterans build Vet Centers - a "home on campus" - with the VetCenter Initiative. Each program aims to help veterans succeed as they transition from their military service into higher education.
SVA also operates the National Veterans Center, located in Washington, DC.
Along with chapter organization and funding, SVA partnered with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) to offer a new program called "1 Student Veteran", which directly connects student veterans who are experiencing problems accessing their G.I. Bill or other earned benefits to a VFW service officer. Student Veterans can email firstname.lastname@example.com for direct assistance.
Invest in Data & Research[edit]
Over $23.7 billion has been invested in Post-9/11 G.I. Bill benefits since 2009. Yet, no organization has tracked the academic outcomes of beneficiaries. No one knows the return on the G.I. Bill investment.[citation needed]
Student Veterans of America was a leading advocate for reform of GI Bill benefits leading to passage of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008.
On October 28, 2013, the House passed the Veterans' Advisory Committee on Education Improvement Act of 2013 (H.R. 2011; 113th Congress), a bill that would extend through the end of 2015 the Veterans' Advisory Committee on Education.[8] It would also change the composition of people sitting on that board by including members from more recent wars. Student Veterans of America issued a press release on August 7, 2013, announcing their support for H.R. 2011.[9]
On February 3, 2014, the United States House of Representatives passed the GI Bill Tuition Fairness Act of 2013 (H.R. 357; 113th Congress).[10] If enacted, the bill would require states to offer veterans the in-state tuition price instead of the out-of-state tuition price regardless of whether the veteran met the residency requirement. The bill would also make other changes to veterans' benefits.[11] Student Veterans of America supports the bill, arguing that "having that across-the-board ease with all 50 states and the District of Columbia will make it easier for student veterans to figure out how much they will be paying for their college education."[12]

In heartbreaking moment, John gives Swisher a "Swishalichous" even though he's playing in another city and another game
Originally written on IT IS HIGH, IT IS FAR, IT IS caught | Last updated 4/14/13
Every new dad, watching his child take those first suckling gurgles, reacts with pride, jubilation and - yes - a bit of amazement, realizing that kids grow up fast and life is never be the same. So it was yesterday, as John and Suzyn reported the bittersweet news of Nick Swisher's first homerun as an ex-Yankee. It came during Suzyn's scoreboard: Swish had hit one, his first since the - you know, the breakup. John said it was wonderful news. "Swishalicious," he added. In radio, no one can see you cry.Let's hope John Swishaliciousalizes every Swish swat this year and next. That would make him the first lifetime Yankee, in the Sterling Hall of Fame.

Tony & Emmy Winner Eli Wallach Dies at Age 98
The New York Times reports that film, television and stage actor Eli Wallach, whose career spanned more than six decades, beginning in the late 1940s, died on Tuesday, June 24th at the age of 98. His death was confirmed by his daughter Katherine.
Wallach received a BAFTA Award, Tony Award and Emmy Award for his work, and received an Honorary Academy Award at the 2nd Annual Governors Awards, presented on November 13, 2010.
In 1945 he made his Broadway debut and won a Tony Award in 1951 for his performance alongside Maureen Stapleton in the Tennessee Williams play The Rose Tattoo. His other theater credits include Mister Roberts, The Teahouse of the August Moon, Camino Real, Major Barbara, Luv, and Staircase, co-starring Milo O'Shea, which was a serious depiction of an aging homosexual couple. He last starred on stage as the title character in Visiting Mr. Green.
Wallach's film debut was in Elia Kazan's controversial 1956 Baby Doll, for which he won the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) for "Most Promising Newcomer." Other early films include The Lineup, The Misfitswith Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, The Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen, Lord Jim with Peter O'Toole, a comic role in How to Steal a Million with Audrey Hepburn, and as Tuco (the 'Ugly') in Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with Clint Eastwood followed by several other spaghetti westerns, including Ace High.
Wallach appeared in many television dramas during the "Golden Age" of the 1950s, including Studio One, The Philco Television Playhouse, The Armstrong Circle Theatre, Playhouse 90, and The Hallmark Hall of Fame, among others. He won the 1966-1967 Emmy Award for his role in the telefilm The Poppy is Also a Flower. In 2006 Wallach appeared on NBC's Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, playing a former writer who was blacklisted in the 1950s. Wallach earned a 2007 Emmy nomination for his work on the show.
Wallach played Mr. Freeze in the 1960s Batman television series. He wrote in his autobiography that he received more fan mail about his role as Mr. Freeze than about all of his other roles combined.
On November 13, 2010, at the age of 94, Wallach received an Honorary Academy Award for his contribution to the film industry at the 2010 Governor's Awards ceremony of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

LG versus Sony: Round two
LG is at war with Sony after the Seoul-based manufacturer filed two complaints with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) over a series of patent infringements.
Blu-ray technology used for the PlayStation 3 is said to have infringed on four LG patents, with Sony HD TVs also claimed to have infringed on a further four patents.
.relatedLinksLeft { font-size:12px; width:300px; margin:12px 12px 12px 0; float:left; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background:#ececec; } h3.rlTitle {margin:0px; display:block; padding:5px 0 4px 15px !important; background:#ddd; }
Patents under scrutiny relating to Blu-ray patents include dealing with multiple data streams like different camera angles, and a system to reproduce data that's stored on a read-only device. The Sony TV claim relates to high-definition receivers and receiving and processing signals.
This latest legal wrangling follows closely on from an investigation carried out by the ITC late last year into claims that LG mobile phones are infringing on seven Sony patents.
In what could be a messy period of legal wrangling, we sincerely hope it doesn't result in our Stateside friends being denied some PS3 gaming action.

Electronic System-Level (ESL) Design
Keysight provides the most accurate communications system design tools which accelerate PHY development and verification time by reducing cross domain iterations. With Keysight, you'll be able bring real-world effects higher in the design validation process.
ESL Design Challenges
- Analog/RF and baseband/DSP/embedded teams often work in relative isolation in the design or HW validation phases, increasing the risk of time consuming and expensive iterations.
- Traditional single domain "point tools" have poor to no interaction with the real world and rely on mathematical models to capture real-world effects.
- Validating hardware after systems achieve hardware integration may mask critical design flaws and require complicated physical test benches for verification of final designs.

|And never look behind!
VENT. I'll rather die, than take it. Will you go?
ANT. Go! whither? Go from all that's excellent?
|Faith, honor, virtue, all good things forbid
Give to your boy, your Cæsar,
This rattle of a globe to play withal,
|This gewgaw world, and put him cheaply off:
CLEO. She['s] wholly yours. My heart's so full
of joy,
That I shall do some wild extravagance
Of love, in public; and the foolish world,
Which knows not tenderness, will think me
VENT. O women! women! women! all the gods
Have not such pow'r of doing good to man,
As you of doing harm. Exit.
ANT. Our men are armed.
Unbar the gate that looks to Cæsar's camp;
|I would revenge the treachery he meant me;
For, all the pleasures I have known beat thick
On my remembrance. How I long for night!
That both the sweets of mutual love may try, 460
And once triúmph o'er Cæsar [ere] we die.
At one door, enter CLEOPATRA, CHARMION, IRAS, and
ALEXAS, a train of Egyptians: at the other, ANTONYand Romans. The entrance on both sides is prepared by music, The trumpets first sounding an ANTONY'S part, then answered by timbrels, etc., on CLEOPATRA'S. CHARMION and IRAS hold a laurel wreath betwixt them. A dance of Egyptians. After the ceremony, CLEOPATRA crowns ANTONY,
ANT. I thought how those white arms would fold
me in,
And strain me close, and melt me into love;
So pleased with that sweet image, I sprung forwards,
And added all my strength to every blow.
CLEO. Come to me, come, my soldier, to my
With broken murmurs, and with amorous sighs,
I'll say, you were unkind, and punish you,
|And mark you red with many an eager kiss.
ANT. My brighter Venus!
CLEO. O my greater Mars!
ANT. Thou join'st us well, my love!
Suppose me come from the Phlegræan plains,1
Where gasping giants lay, cleft by my sword,
|And mountain-tops pared off each other blow,
In thy embraces I would be beheld
By heav'n and earth at once;
And make their envy what they meant their
As their superior god.
There's no satiety of love in thee;
|Enjoyed, thou still art-new; perpetual spring
And I grow rich by giving.
Enter VENTIDIUS, and stands apart.
ALEX. Oh, now the danger's past, your general
He joins not in your joys, nor minds your tri
ANT. Now, on my soul, he loves me; truly loves
He never flattered me in any vice,
|But awes me with his virtue: ev'n this minute,
It checks too strong upon me.
Exeunt the rest. As ANTONYis going, VENTEDIUS pulls him by the robe.
VENT. Emperor!
ANT. (looking back). 'Tis the old argument; I pr'ythee, spare me.
VENT. But this one hearing, emperor.
|ANT. Let go
VENT. By Hercules his father, that's yet greater,
I bring you somewhat you would wish to know.
ANT. Thou see'st we are observed; attend me

I would like to make a server (A) in Java. Some clients (B) connect to A and send informations. When (A) receives data from (B) it must store those information into a PostgreSQL server (C).
I want to know how can I manage the connection between (A) and (C). I have two ideas:
1) Create an initial connection from (A) to (B). This connection remains always active. 2) Create a connection between (A) and (B) every time (A) receive a connection from (B), then close the connection (open/close a connection to the db from every client connect to the server)
My worry is about the database timeout.
Thank you

This one got me. I can easily see the dress being designed by either. Although I've always thought of Oscar de la Renta to be more daring.

January 20, 1998 in Nation/World
Oldest Metal Statue Restored, On Display
The oldest metal statue in the world, a 4,300-year-old copper figure of an Egyptian pharaoh, is back on display after a $274,000 German-funded restoration.
The 2-foot-high statue of Pepy I was found in the 1890s buried in a temple at Edfu in southern Egypt, where it had been preserved by the surrounding sand and mud, said its restorer, Christian Eckmann of Roman-Germanic Museum in Mainz, Germany.
The statue was on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo until 1996, when the government asked Germany for help with the restoration. It was restored together with a life-sized statue of Pepy.
At the unveiling ceremony at the Egyptian Museum on Sunday, Ambassador Wolf-Dietrich Schilling said Germany had not forgotten the killing of nine German tourists in an attack at the museum last September.
A former mental patient and his brother who claimed they were defending Islam were convicted and sentenced to death for the assault.

LO has, for several weeks now, been sleeping pretty much like clockwork as follows:
7:00 p.m. – nap
9:00 p.m. –eat, play for a little bit, and go to bed
2:30 a.m.—wake up briefly to eat and return to bed
5:30 a.m.—wake up briefly to eat and return to bed until 6:30 a.m.
All of a sudden, she is out of wack. She is 11 weeks today. For the past few nights, she has woken up almost every hour and after a feeding, she doesn't pass out like she usually does. Instead, I'll lay her back down and she'll fuss, and we'll go a couple of rounds. It's like we're back to week 1.
Any ideas why this may be happening? Lately, a few other things have happened—she gained a bunch of weight last week (almost a lb., which is good because she has been in the 10th percentile for a while); for the past two days, she has only pooped once per day (usually 3-5 times per day); she's been more fussy and drooling more than normal (and really chomping on a pacifier if I stick it in her mouth with my finger in it), making me think teething is a possibility. I know teething is usually later, but I've talked to a few whose children were teething very early on. Does anybody have any thoughts? I hope this is just a very brief bump because it's wearing me out!!!

Help support your MeetupChip in
Spiritual psychology and Consciousness Group
Spiritual, psychic, mental, emotional, physical, experiential, and behavioral aspects are all interrelated. We will be sharing about those relationships and techniques for facilitating wholeness and expansion as individuals and in relationships. Cindy's presentations include stories from personal experience and insight as well as gleanings from works of various authors. Each presentation will be a fascinating weave of concepts. Each meetup is an offering and an opportunity for getting ideas to play with for better results in your life.
Insights, I have decided, are nourishment for the mind and spirit/soul...( how does one define and distinguish mind/spirit/soul/psyche etc? Different cultures have different definitions. Even the definitions influence thinking and perception!........)
Questions for clarification of points in the presentations are welcome. Perhaps someone else will be able to explain something better than me. Or maybe someone will have an experience that is in the scope of the presented material. In this way, we can contribute to each others knowledge and understanding and awareness of possibilities.
These topics and more will be included: Influences of how we experience life and what to do about it, ways of defining ourselves and consequences. Thoughts, concepts, beliefs as tools. Spiritual guidance and intuition.
Energy transactions within the self and amongst people and what to do about it. Handling inner conflict, discomfort and pain. Common threads in religion, philosophy, and psychology. Stories of psychic and shamanic adventures, past lives, healings, etc. Stories of psychic side of relationship dynamics.

Is Owning Safer? »
Pilots decide to buy their own airplane for a variety of reasons. It could be a business decision, helping ensure coverage of a relatively wide sales area, or perhaps an aerial photography business. Specialized flight traininglike acro, or a quicky instrument ratingalso can be a reason. Recreation or personal transportation is yet another. One of my major motivations was safety. More

I already own a cat (male) and hubby wanted one of his own. So shortly after getting her I decided to look into getting her spayed. From the information I've found she's too small, weight wise, for the procedure. She's a small cat so I figure we still have time before we really needed to worry about getting her fixed. Boy was I wrong!
She is driving me nuts!!! She's constantly meowing non-stop, trying to spray, sticking her ass in the air and chasing around our older cat (he's fixed) who get irritated and tries to attack her to get her to stop. I don't know what to do until she meets the right weight requirement for the surgery. So alas I come to you for any recommendations. Please help!

Miller, who met with Ehrlich yesterday morning, said he expects the governor to announce his changes to the bill in about two weeks.
The clear implication of Miller's remarks is that the governor has agreed to take responsibility for potentially unpopular changes to the distribution formula -- albeit with the Senate president's blessing. Earlier, Ehrlich aides indicated they would let the General Assembly make the changes.
The Senate president, a staunch backer of slots at Maryland racetracks, is working to salvage a bill that has been severely criticized by the racetrack industry, horse breeders, local governments and leading lawmakers.
But Miller's efforts were complicated by reports of more than $500,000 in gambling industry contributions -- including $200,000 from the owners of Pimlico and Laurel -- to a national Democratic Party campaign committee that he heads.
The report came as the slots issue continued to percolate in Annapolis. Among other developments:
"How are you going to incorporate some ownership?" demanded Del. Nathaniel T. Oaks, a Baltimore Democrat. "The ownership issue gets sticky because we want to make sure the licenses aren't portable," Ehrlich replied.
In an interview yesterday, Miller sought to minimize criticism of the governor -- noting that Ehrlich "is not a bill drafter."
Kenneth Masters, Ehrlich's chief legislative aide, said in an interview that changes "will definitely have to be made."
"It needs some fine-tuning certainly, but I think the bill is going to pass," Masters said.
Miller did not directly say that the governor would have to reduce the 64 percent share of slots proceeds he allocated to education in his legislation. But the Senate president said the new version of the bill would have to increase aid to localities and improve its treatment of the racing industry.
"The industry is not going to pay $400 million in licensing fees for a bill that does not work," he said.
That leaves the state's share, which the governor has proposed dedicating to education, as the only large piece of the pie.
Miller also said the governor's proposal must address what horse owners have identified as a glaring omission in the bill: the lack of any provision requiring that the tracks with slots have a guaranteed minimum number of racing days. The legislation also needs language ensuring that the Preakness remains at Pimlico, the Prince George's County Democrat said.
The Senate president is a longtime advocate for the horse-racing industry, but his support was viewed in light of the disclosure that gambling interests had given at least $550,000 in contributions to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, which Miller heads.
Those contributions include gambling groups from around the country, including many Indian tribes that operate casinos. The largest gambling-related contributor was a subsidiary of the owner of Pimlico and Laurel Park, which gave $200,000. The contributions were first reported yesterday by The Washington Post.
Miller said yesterday that the contributions were within legal limits.
"There' s no quid pro quo here at all. The company has given to a number of national political organizations, both Republicans and Democrats," he said.
Miller declined to say whether he had solicited the contribution from De Francis, telling a reporter to ask the racetrack executive.
De Francis declined to comment on the contribution, except to say the donation was made after the Maryland Jockey Club announced its agreement to be acquired by Magna Entertainment Corp., which owns racetracks in eight states.
Miller said the legislative campaign committee had played a "very little" role in last year's election in Maryland.
But the committee pumped $53,000 into Maryland political races, including some of the tightest state Senate contests.
Maryland Democrats who received contributions from the committee during the 2002 election include Miller, Del. Maggie L. McIntosh of Baltimore, Sen. Verna L. Jones of Baltimore, Sen. James Brochin of Baltimore County and Sen. John A. Giannetti Jr. of Prince George's.
Finance reports filed with the Internal Revenue Service show the committee also received hundreds of thousands of contributions from such groups as labor unions, teacher organizations, tobacco manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies.

Greg Johnson: In real world, raises, pensions not a given
As Knox County teachers gripe about raises, as retirees from the city of Knoxville and their children, grandchildren, cats and parakeets collect or prepare to collect super-sweet pension benefits and as current city employees prepare to receive their guaranteed raises, a word from the real world: Huh?
In the unreal world of government, teachers receive raises every year, just for keeping their jobs. According to the Tennessee Education Association website, Knox County teachers receive "step raises" that range from 1.7 percent to 2.2 percent, as their experience steps from one year to the next.
Knoxville government workers get a 2.5 percent pay raise each year. Guaranteed. It's the law, put into effect in the inflationary times of the late 1970s. When one councilman suggested change, city workers went wild, exposing their entitled mentality. Offered the opportunity to execute the executive function of setting pay raises, progressive Mayor Madeline Rogero demurred, clinging to the past.
Then there are exorbitant city pensions due to the extravagant clause in the city's pension plan that allows children and grandchildren to be beneficiaries. Since little Sam and Sally live a long time after Mommy and Daddy are dead, the city is on the hook for multiple millions. Plus, due to another clause, this dire debt inflates at about 3 percent per year.
In the real world, pensions are a thing of the past, pay is based on performance and inflation adjustments are pegged to today's reality. Since 1980, in the real world of the private sector, the percentage of Americans covered by traditional defined benefit retirement plans dropped from 38 percent to 20 percent as of 2008. Why?
Corporations didn't one day wake up and decide to stick it to their workers. In the real world, realistic executives saw the plain truth that Americans are living longer and inflation was receding from horrific highs. In the real world, workers and retirees get by without unreal guarantees.
Last year, for instance, Social Security recipients got a 1.5 percent increase after a 1.7 percent raise in 2012. For the 10 years ending in 2013, Social Security cost-of-living adjustments averaged 2.5 percent, one-third the 7.7 percent average annual increase between 1975 and 1984, when many of Knoxville's generous (to employees) and/or onerous (to taxpayers) pension policies were enacted.
In the real world, corporate America ended pensions 30 or 40 years ago to compete with the world, making employees responsible for their own retirement. Additionally, real-world workers, competing with machines here at home and hungry workers in the Third World, saw wages grow slowly, while some simply saw their jobs disappear.
In the real world, where most of us live and work and earn our livings, there is risk and reward, success and failure, consequences for excellence, mediocrity and incompetence. In the unreal world of government, city budgets, like Knoxville's, rise 9.5 percent — six times the inflation rate — as real-world workers struggle. Pay raises come with the click of the calendar and pensions become trust funds, funded by taxpayers.
This cannot continue for one very real reason: Math.

Keeping It Simple
Down to earth, sincere person. I have passion--about my chosen work, my hobbies and favorite activities, and about life. There is so much to explore and see and I think it's important not to limit yourself and to take risks. I value friendship and human relationships and am concerned that nationally we are losing a sense of community. Does that sound too serious? I have thought about moving to a smaller town but I know I would miss everything that L.A. has to offer--culturally and artistically. I am in a good place with my work and my work is here so I will continue with my life as an Angelino--and maybe plan for a simpler, more scenic life in my "golden years". In the meantime, I choose to enjoy my life in this incredible and peculiar city! I am interested in human nature and love to hear people's stories so my job as a therapist (LCSW style) has worked so far for me. I know about hunan struggle but I also see how optimism and hope can help with even the most daunting of challenges. I am looking for someone who is interested in happiness and optimism. (Someone who is happy and optimistic!) I believe that profiles and emails (and even phone conversations) only tell you so much, and that the best way to get to know someone is to actually sit across from her and share some face-to-face interaction. Call me old-fashioned...

Middle of the Road
I love traveling and feel it it's the best education. I've spent six months in Guatemala and it was amazing. I think you can have that traveling-feeling in the city as well. It's about being open to new things, flexibility and a sense of adventure.
Love hanging out with friends and sitting around and gabbing. I love feeling passion about my work and having fun on the clock. I love rocking to Earth Wind and Fire, Parliament and David Bowie in traffic. I love Thursday nights. Favorite color: red
I live in Hollywood so it's not surprising that I love movies--particularly independent films and docs. Hiking and swimming, escaping the city, being spontaneous--all get thumbs up. I also do Bikram Yoga--not "fun" per se but makes me feel great.
I read a lot of things at once and think of it as a mild occasion when I finish something--especially fiction. Currently I'm reading The What's Right With You (work related) and Your Movie Sucks by Roger Ebert (fun related).
