Undergraduates currently enrolled at UT who wish to declare an economics major must first meet with an economics advisor. There is no formal application process. However, there are specific requirements for the Business Economics Option Program (BEOP).
For more information, visit the student affairs page on how to declare a major.
Prospective University of Texas at Austin students should visit to learn about the application process and how to declare a major.
Introduction to Microeconomics (ECO304K) and Introduction to Macroeconomics (ECO304L) are the two introductory level courses offered. Most courses are offered Fall, Spring, and Summer. Important to have your lower division economics and calculus courses completed as soon as possible to progress into upper division economics classes. Also look at the degree plan and/or sample 4-year plan for economics.
The Business Economics Option Program (BEOP) is designed for economics majors who are interested in business, particularly accounting and finance. The BEOP provides access to a set of restricted accounting and finance courses in the Red McCombs School of Business, for completion of a minor in Business Administration, Accounting, or Finance.
Students in the ECON-MPA Path earn a B.A. degree in Economics and a Master in Professional Accounting (MPA) degree from The University of Texas at Austin. This program enables outstanding undergraduates to complete twelve hours of graduate accounting courses in their senior year toward obtaining a master's degree. View information on the application website for the ECON-MPA Path and CPA Exam Requirements.
Students interested in working directly in the field of economics tend to specialize, and therefore their personality may vary by their particular interests. It is important to note that economists often work alone, writing reports, preparing statistical charts, and using computers, but they also may be an integral part of a research team. Students must be comfortable under pressure of deadlines and tight schedules. They must be flexible, critical thinkers, willing to work around special requests for data.

She lets through about 70 percent of the comments that come across her screen, she estimated.
CRs don't include the enforcement bite of a formal budget, but that naunce might come across as inside Washington baseball.
Rumors are an excellent solution, because they can be shaped to fit any gap that we come across.
Old English cuman "come, approach, land; come to oneself, recover; arrive; assemble" (class IV strong verb; past tense cuom, com, past participle cumen), from Proto-Germanic *kwem- (cf. Old Saxon cuman, Old Frisian kuma, Middle Dutch comen, Dutch komen, Old High German queman, German kommen, Old Norse koma, Gothic qiman), from PIE root *gwa-, *gwem- "to go, come" (cf. Sanskrit gamati "he goes," Avestan jamaiti "goes," Tocharian kakmu "come," Lithuanian gemu "to be born," Greek bainein "to go, walk, step," Latin venire "to come").
The substitution of Middle English -o- for Old English -u- before -m-, -n-, or -r- was a scribal habit before minims to avoid misreading the letters in the old style handwriting, which jammed letters. The practice similarly transformed some, monk, tongue, worm. Modern past tense form came is Middle English, probably from Old Norse kvam, replacing Old English cuom.
Remarkably productive with prepositions (NTC's "Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs" lists 198 combinations); consider the varied senses in come to "regain consciousness," come over "possess" (as an emotion), come at "attack," come on (interj.) "be serious," and come off "occur." For sexual senses, see cum.
verb phrase
(also cum) Semen, or any fluid secreted at orgasm (1920s+)

Level Cap: World of Warcraft Subscribers Hold Steady
Oh what a difference a few months can make. When last we checked in on World of Warcraft's green, red, and cow-colored masses, things were looking grim ' or, well, as grim as they can look when you have over 10 million subscribers. But, rolling hills once rife with freshly rolled alts, that number was a far cry from the 12 million of 2010. One empire was in decline, and another ' Stars Wars: The Old Republic ' was seemingly on its way to filling the power vacuum. But then, the gaming world did the industry-wide equivalent of briefly glancing at a roving herd of bison, only to look back and see that nothing was the same. Furniture was on the ceiling, cats were starting small businesses with dogs, and SWTOR was leaping up and down and making lightsaber wooshing sounds at a clearly disinterested crowd. So then, let's check in on World of Warcraft.

The Marion County High School marching band finished the 2011 season Saturday at Barren County High School. The Knights scored a 76.55 to finish 11th in the Class AAAA semifinals.
Band Director Curtis Bennett noted that the season got off to a rough start when the former band director resigned, and Bennett was named as the new director Aug. 11.
"It could have been a disaster and it wasn't," he said. "It was a strong finish for us."
Phillip R. Johnson, 29, of 6345 W. Main Street, Apt. 10, in Lebanon pled guilty to reckless homicide and two counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance in Marion Circuit Court recently.
Johnson faced an original charge of first-degree manslaughter related to the death of Jessica Monday on March 9, 2010.
His sentencing has been scheduled for Jan. 5.

Over the past 13 years, 48 jurors have been asked on three occasions to determine the fate of Michael Dale St. Clair.
And, on all three occasions, the verdict was the same - death.
After twice being struck down by the state Supreme Court, a Bullitt Circuit Court jury took just over two hours to decide Friday that the Oklahoma native should again be sentenced to death in the 1991 murder of Frank Brady, a Marion County native.
Tuesday, Nov. 8, is Election Day, but it's also a chance to donate blood.
The Kentucky Blood Center will be hosting a blood drive from 2 to 6 p.m. at Centre Square. Donors will receive a $10 gift card. Donors should bring a photo ID.
Blood donors should be aware that a voting precinct will also be set up in the gymnasium at Centre Square that day.
The trial for the Campbellsville woman accused of killing her husband, a Lebanon police officer, is on track for this month.
Tonya Ford's case has been set for a final pretrial hearing a week before the trial is set to begin in Taylor Circuit Court.
Ford appeared before Taylor Circuit Court Judge Dan Kelly on Tuesday, Oct. 25, for a three-minute hearing with her attorney, Danny Butler of Greensburg.
Kelly asked if there were any issues in the case that need discussion.
With all the debate in this country about immigration reform and immigrants needing to learn English, I would like to address the language of another group that is really difficult to grasp.
The language of career, professional politicians is just beyond me. I'm glad that I'm a country, hayseed journalist who interviews real people who can answer a question, in plain, everyday English that even a fifth-grader can understand.

I got a flu shot last week. It didn't hurt and I got a nice booklet of coupons for my trouble.
It seems that getting an annual vaccination for a variety of ills has turned routine, something we take for granted. One local pharmacy will even bring the shots to your workplace.
That's one of my nicknames, which was coined by my middle school basketball coach and physical education teacher at St. Charles Middle School - the infamous David Ferriell.
"Girl, you been eatin' too many taters," he would say, teasing me during P.E. class.
Dennis George made an open records request of the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission on Sept. 23. As of Oct. 20, he had not received the records he requested.
That is unacceptable.

2000 Cadillac Eldorado Q&A
2000 Cadillac Eldorado Question: ignition switch is stuck in the on position, what would cause this & due I have
to install a new switch? and if so due I have to have new keys programed to the car? - sad cady
3 Answers
Answer 1
needs a new lock cylinder and yes, the new keys have to be programmed. Roy - mastertech6371
Answer 2
Customer Concern: Ignition key won't come out. REV/LK fuse #31 blows immediately. When the LK/CYL relay is removed, the fuse stops blowing. Tests/Procedures: 1. Unplug the ignition lock cylinder control actuator. If the fuse stops blowing, replace the actuator. 2. If the fuse still blows with the actuator unplugged, inspect circuit #2356 (Dk Green/White) for a short to ground between the actuator and the rear fuse block. - PARTS GUY
Answer 3
Two great answers, does sound like an ignition switch problem, but just goes to show always look to see if there are bulletins from the manufacturer.There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect....

This is SR, veteran of the Durango - Mazatlán off-road ride, and year-round resident of Durango, but originally from Colorado.
SR grew up riding rough stuff up there, and in México only enhanced his Mad Skillz riding with the locals in some of the gnarliest terrain the mountains and valleys of the Sierra have to offer.
He has been a right-hand-man to event organizer Walter Bishop, a Mexican with an American sounding name. SR has been in on a lot of the route planning the last few years, and this year was the one go-to guy loading GPS routes the night before the send-off from the Catedral in Durango on Friday morning a week ago.
He kept his DRZ400 in the garage for me, so all I had to do was to ride my 1200GSA down from San Antonio, through Parras de la Fuente (made a stop there - more on that later) and on to the Gobernador in Durango as the ride HQ.
It was also fun to be with SR, his family, and Schizzman (who took shots of the start and of other goodies forthcoming) for SR's 40th birthday bash at a local restaurant.
Mad props to SR - without whom I would not have thought of this ride, much less attempted it, and while on it, he made sure I made it to Mazatlán.
Like I said before, this is a ride I'll be talking about 30 years from now. SR was huge in making this happen.
PS - be assured SR didn't do the Ruta on his VStrom
And that hooligan Schizzman will pop in because we did the Casa Madero Winery, Parras de la Fuente, and a huge 400 mile Durango state road ride which he was a main ingredient in

SATURDAY SIX: Six Reasons We Love Disney's BoardWalk Resort
This week's SATURDAY SIX takes a look at Six Reasons We Love Disney's BoardWalk Resort. While we have done articles on several of our favorite Walt Disney World resorts, including Animal Kingdom Lodge, Art of Animation, and Port Orleans French Quarter, it was the BoardWalk Inn & Villas which was the hardest to cut down to just our six favorite things. The overall depth of theming and amount of details throughout the resort is second to none.
The BoardWalk was the second of Disney Vacation Club properties to be built (following Old Key West) and its "story" revolves around the great East Coast boardwalk areas of the 1920s and 30s. In the early part of the 20th century places like Coney Island in New York and Atlantic City in New Jersey were the Walt Disney World of their day. Attractions, restaurants, hotels… they were the place to be. Disney Imagineers and architect Robert A.M. Stern pulled from this incredible era of history of America to create Disney's BoardWalk and left tons of wonderful details for guests to appreciate. The details are just one of the many reasons we think this resort is the bee's knees, so let's begin counting down our top six reasons starting with…
# 6 – The Lobby
There are some lobbies at Walt Disney World which will have you picking your jaw off the floor (most notably the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Wilderness Lodge) but what the BoardWalk lacks in expansiveness it makes up for in fantastic show elements, such as the gorgeous Hippocampus Electrolier hanging above. A hippocampus is a creature from Greek mythology that is part horse, part fish, while electrolier is a name for a ceiling fixture holding electric lamps (a name which never took hold and is just referred to as a chandelier today.) Weighing in at 3,000 pounds and intricately detailed, this may very well be the most impressive chandelier on Disney property, and imagine what that is saying.
Where To Get Work Done At Walt Disney World
As much as we'd like a trip to Walt Disney World to be all play, sometimes the career gets in the way. After begrudgingly pulling out your laptop or tablet, you realize the last place you want to be is cooped up in your hotel room. Where else can you go to concentrate and get some work done?
Whether it be answering email or working remotely, here are some places to set up your make-shift office and get down to business ("to defeat…the Huns." Name that film!).
The Supplies
If you know you're going to be working throughout your trip, here are a few extras to consider bringing along for a more comfortable experience:
- A mouse for your laptop
- A stylus for your tablet/iPad
- A keyboard for your tablet
- Chargers for your devices
- A power strip
- Headphones
- Paper and pen (if you don't have technology handy)
The Demographic Disney Forgot: Best Disney World Resorts for Teen Boys
The Disney Parks were designed with families in mind, to serve as escapes from the real world where parents and kids can have fun together. But have you ever noticed that a certain element of the family tends to be overlooked? Do you know what it is? It's the demographic Disney forgot: teen boys. Now I'm not a teenage boy, but I do have a teenage brother who loves Disney World, despite the lack of commercials and ads directed toward his age group; and so, I sat down with him for the scoop on what Disney World has to offer teen boys like himself. Last time, I covered the Best Disney World Restaurants for Teen Boys; but for today, I'm focusing on where to stay in this installment of The Demographic Disney Forgot: Best Disney World Resorts for Teen Boys.
6. Art of Animation Resort
Disney World's newest Value Resort is a celebration of animation and lets guests walk right into the middle of several popular Disney films, such as The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Pixar's Cars, and Pixar's Finding Nemo. The Art of Animation Resort is unique in that it offers family suites which accommodate up to six family members, as well as more heavily themed rooms than what you find at other resorts on property.This particular resort may sound like a surprising pick for teen boys; but my teen Disney Bro has loved this resort since the first time he visited and was quick to name it to this list. The Cars wing is by far his favorite. You really do feel like you've walked into Radiator Springs with the life-size Cars characters, the Cozy Cone Motel, and other familiar fixtures from the hit film. The resort's food court, Landscape of Flavors, is also a big hit with my teen Disney Bro. He likes the build-your-own stations where he can tailor dishes to his own tastes; and he thinks the Big Blue Pool is pretty cool as well. This pool is the largest hotel pool at Disney World and has underwater speakers playing Disney tunes! It's amazing! The Art of Animation is bright, colorful, and packed with Disney characters, so it may not be for all teen boys; but if your teen still smiles at the sight of Nemo and Simba and Mater, or perhaps possesses some artistic talents, this resort may be for them.
Menu Monday: ESPN Club
Recently my boys and I returned from another fun-filled adventure in Disney World. Being huge sports fans, one of our family's favorite spots during every Disney World trip is ESPN Club. We love the wide selection of games to watch and foods to eat that this restaurant has to offer. ESPN Club is very unique and the perfect place to take a break and watch the big game during your vacation. If you have a sports lover in your traveling group, please read on for all of the details.
25 Drinks of Christmas Countdown – Day 8: Old Fashioned at Belle Vue Lounge
The Christmas season is my absolute favorite time of the year. Growing up, one of the little things I loved most was getting an Advent calendar and counting down the days until Santa would be coming down the chimney. As I grew older, I had to leave Advent calendars in the rear view mirror,* but I still miss that daily countdown building anticipation to the big day. So, we're going to start a virtual Advent calendar here at TouringPlans. For 2014, we are going to countdown our favorite drinks at Walt Disney World and the Universal Orlando Resort.
Criteria: Drinks can be alcoholic or nonalcoholic. Drinks can come from any venue on property as well as the Disney Cruise Line. Bonus points awarded for atmosphere where drink is served. Any drink with glow cubes is immediately disqualified. Ready? Let's go!
DAY EIGHT: Old Fashioned at Belle Vue Lounge (Disney's BoardWalk Inn)
Sometimes you just find the perfect drink in the perfect setting, and today we have that with an Old Fashioned at the Belle Vue Lounge. The overall theme of Disney's BoardWalk Inn is a trip back through time, with guests being completely immersed within the aesthetic of an Atlantic seaside resort from the 1930s. Nowhere is that more evident than within the Belle Vue Lounge, which is like no other bar on WDW property and is a true hidden gem. Belle Vue will transport you back to a different era, when people took a break and sat down to enjoy conversation with friends, instead of just searching for an outlet to charge their smart phones. What we enjoy about having an Old Fashioned at the Belle Vue is that the drink is served very strong, a possible nod to the prohibition era the lounge's theme takes place in.
Review of a Disney's Beach Club One Bedroom DVC Villa
While Disney World offers a vast variety of different resorts to choose from for guests staying on property, the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Villas offer even more options and experiences, particularly when it comes to room sizes! During my last few trips to Disney World, I had the opportunity to enjoy stays at several different DVC Villas; but today, I'm zeroing in on Disney's Beach Club Villas in this review of a Disney's Beach Club One Bedroom DVC Villa.
First of all, the Disney Vacation Club is Disney's own timeshare program where members purchase and use points for their vacation experiences. It can be difficult to understand, but Disney Vacation Club (DVC) 101: What is DVC? can help fill in the gaps. If you are not a Disney Vacation Club Member, the good news is that you can still stay at a DVC Resort! You can do so by booking through Disney, just as you would any other resort; however, other guests like to rent points or even buy points from other members, but you definitely want to make sure that the seller is legitimate and reliable.
Earlier this year, my family and I booked a stay at one bedroom DVC Villa at Disney's Beach Club. This resort is very popular and has one of the best locations at Disney World in that it's next door to its sister resort, the Yacht Club, as well as the Swan and Dolphin Resort. Across the water, there is the Boardwalk Inn Resort and the Boardwalk itself with it's dining, shopping, and live entertainment to take advantage of. But wait! It's get even better! The Beach Club is also a short walk from Epcot, and a somewhat longer walk, or boat ride, to Hollywood Studios. In fact, during my stay, I could see the fireworks from Epcot's Illuminations from the Beach Club grounds.
The Beach Club features a light and airy, beach theme with a vintage flair. Pastels and little seaside details can be found all throughout the resort, from the carpets to the light fixtures; but one of the things the Beach Club is most known for is it's pool, Stormalong Bay. Many say it is the best pool on Disney World property and I would agree!
The smallest villa offered at the Beach Club Villas is a Deluxe Villa, which sleeps up to four adults. It's similar to a standard resort room, just with more amenities. The next size villa is a one bedroom, which is what I'm focusing on today. This villa can also sleep up to four adults, but it offers more space than a Deluxe Villa. Finally, the largest villa offered at the Beach Club is a two bedroom villa, which can sleep up to eight adults.
My family and I had stayed at the Beach Club before, but never in a villa so we were excited to enjoy a whole new experience at this gorgeous resort.
Pros and Cons of Going to Disney World during the Holidays
Happy Halloween, everyone! Did you know that the first Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a week from today. And that it's sold out? Enjoy your 6 days of downtime between the 2 month holiday of the Food & Hallowine Festival and the next 2 month holiday of Christmas and New Year's.
Christmas will be here before you know it, and you might be asking yourself, "Hey, self, should I make my holiday season even more magical by going to Disney World?" I'm glad you asked. Disney World during the holidays is one of my favorite times of year to visit. It's a time when there are several unique elements from decorations to food present that transform the parks into something special. That's not to say that it's the perfect time of year to go. Like any season, there are positives and negatives. While I believe that every Disney enthusiast should aim to visit at least once during the holidays, here are some of my personal pros and cons that should help you decide if it's worth it.
PRO: The Decorations
Walking down a fully decorated Main Street, U.S.A., is almost worth the trip alone for me. I already enjoy spending time just wandering around the Magic Kingdom staple but when the decorations are up, the ambiance gets even better. The decorations don't stop there. Obviously the rest of the areas in the parks have decorations, but the hotels do, as well. I enjoy hotel hopping just to see how each one is decorated. The level of detail will vary, but some of the hotels go all out: for example, there's a huge gingerbread house at the BoardWalk!
CON: The Crowds
Like any popular time of year at Disney, you're going to feel cramped at some points. If all you want out of a Disney trip is short wait times and you don't care about Christmas, maybe plan a trip for some other time. I could be perfectly happy just walking around the parks and taking everything in, but I understand how some people might not enjoy this and need plenty of attractions. If this is you, whatever you do, do not go during the week between Christmas and New Year's. It's the busiest time of year by far. Check out our crowd calendar for more information, but generally it's less crowded the earlier you go in the season (besides the week of Thanksgiving, of course).

Walk Disney: A Review of the Boardwalk Ballyhoo Guided Tour
The Walk Disney series will provide a description and review of activities that can be done while walking the grounds at Walt Disney World resorts.
Do you know why the ESPN Club on Disney's BoardWalk is shaped like an octagon? Do you know where the hidden Tinkerbell is near the elevators of Disney's BoardWalk Villas? By taking the free BoardWalk Ballyhoo Guided Tour, you will learn these and many more interesting details about Disney's BoardWalk Inn and Villas resort area.
Before describing the experience that my wife and I had on the tour, here are the tour basics:
What does the tour entail? The tour covers many of the design choices that the Imagineers made when constructing Disney's BoardWalk Resort area. The walking, informational tour begins at the Bellevue Lounge, continues through the main floor of Disney's BoardWalk Inn, and eventually ends up on the boardwalk outside of the Boardwalk Bakery.
Get to Know the Disney World Pools, Part Four: The Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resort Pools
We've given you the basics about Disney resort pools in general and the specifics about the pools at the value and moderate level hotels. The series concludes with an in-depth look at the pools at the Walt Disney World deluxe and villa resorts: Animal Kingdom Lodge and Villas, Boardwalk Inn and Villas, Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower Villas, Grand Floridian, Old Key West, Polynesian, Saratoga Springs and Tree House Villas, Wilderness Lodge and Villas, and the Yacht & Beach Club and Beach Club Villas.
So strap on your swim fins; we're going in …
- How many pools are there? There are two large pools at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Uzima pool at the main Jambo House, and the Samwati Spring pool in the Kidani Village villas area. There is no "quiet pool" area at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
- What is the pool themeing? The African wilderness.
- What's the kiddie pool situation? There are traditional kiddie pools in both the Jambo and Kidani pool areas. Additionally, Kidani has a large interactive water play area intended for children under 48″ tall.
- Are there water slides? Yes, both pool areas have water slides. At Kidani, there is a small slide, appropriate for preschoolers, as well as a larger slide for older children. At Jambo, there is one large water slide.
- Is there a nearby playground? Yes. There are playgrounds near both the Jambo and Kidani pool areas.
- What's the nearest food option? The Maji bar next to the Kidani pool offers drinks and very limited number of cold sandwich options. The Uzima Springs bar next to the Jambo pool offers drinks and a small selection of packaged snacks. The Mara quick service restaurant, with complete food offerings, is steps away from the Jambo pool.
- Are there showers at the pool? Yes, there are restrooms with lockers and shower adjacent to both the Jambo and Kidani pool areas.
- Are there hot tubs? Yes, there are hot tubs at both the Jambo and Kidani pool areas.
- Are there towels available at the pool? Yes, towels are available at both pools.
- How deep is the pool? The Jambo pool is four feet, ten inches at its deepest point. The Kidani pool is four feet, eleven inches at its deepest point.
- Are there zero entry pools available? Yes. The main pools at both Jambo and Kidani have zero entry access.
- Are poolside cabanas available? No.
- Are there poolside activities? Yes. There are activities at both the Jambo and Kidani pools. Schedules may vary seasonally, but recently there were planned events from 1:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. every afternoon, plus a movie under the stars in the evening. Events may include: Bingo, Wild Trivia, Frisbee Toss, Giant Jenga, Chalk Art, Musical Rings, and others. Weather permitting, there is a free campfire with s'mores.
- Anything else? The two sections of the Animal Kingdom Lodge are a substantial walking distance apart. Guests with preschool and elementary age children may prefer the pools at Kidani Village due to the appealing children's water play area. Different evening movies are shown at the Jambo and Kidani areas. Feel free to view whichever film is more appealing to your family. The schedules for both will be available at the front desk.
Resort Exploring: Vol 4 – Epcot Area Resorts
So far I've explored the wonderful resorts of Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans, and Pop Century. You may notice that none of those are in the deluxe category. The reason is that some of the deluxe resorts just don't lend themselves to exploring. Sure, they are beautiful, luxurious, and wonderful to spend time at, but they don't always have the meandering pathways or hidden spots that the more spread out resorts have.
I debated with myself for a while on how to overcome this problem (and yes, I often argue with myself…and win). I had a breakthrough when I thought about walking through a favorite resort of mine; Beach Club. You see, when I spend time at that particular resort, I don't just walk around the Beach Club but instead I wander through all of the bordering Epcot area resorts.
So that's how I'm treating this, as a walk through the Epcot resorts; Beach Club, Yacht Club, Dolphin, Swan, and the Boardwalk Inn. Please remember that combining them is an artistic choice and not laziness (an important, if indiscernible, designation).
Beach and Yacht Clubs
I am further combining these two because they share so much in common (still not laziness). Both are designed with a seaside feel, although the Yacht Club has a more stately and formal feel to it. These are both beautiful resorts with many decorative nautical items, but with very little in the way of "hidden" areas.
I am in no way saying that there aren't lovely spots to sit, stand, or walk (I'll take sit if you please), but most of these areas are along the well-trafficked pathway that abuts Crescent Lake. Yes it is beautiful, photogenic, and peaceful, but it is also very often full of people, which makes it feel less "private" and more "ugh…people are loud."
If you are an early riser like I am you can still stake out your spot, and there are a few very lovely spots. The pool is a free-flowing, meandering behemoth with rockwork, waterfalls, and plenty of trees. There is also a fantastic pier that juts out into the lake complete with a wonderful lighthouse. The primo spot however, is a seat on the beach (a beach? At the Beach Club? Ludicrous!).
From your vantage point on the sand you look out across the lake with vistas of the lighthouse and the exceptionally cool wreckage of a pirate ship (says the 13 year old boy that I mentally am). I suggest, rather than exploring per se, parking your rump on the beach and enjoying the relative peace of the spot.
Dolphin and Swan
As you meander further away from Epcot (This is a special case. Normally I don't recommend walking away from World Showcase) the next resorts you come to are the Dolphin and Swan. I have combined these two again due to the shared amenities (okay, maybe now I'm getting lazy). Comparing what I described above, I'm not sure you can find resorts that are more different than the Swan/Dolphin and Beach/Yacht. The Swan and Dolphin are…uh…well, just different.
Rather than quaint and relaxing, the Swan and Dolphin are modern and angular. They are still beautiful, at least in spots, but I would consider neither of them relaxing. Luckily, the exterior areas are just as well done as you would expect at Disney deluxe resorts.
Walking the circuitous route between the two hotel buildings brings you upon the pool, beach, and several small, tree-lined spots that definitely qualify as relaxing (and many qualify as smoking areas…thanks for that Disney). Enjoying the views looking out onto the water of the beach and palm trees is always time well spent, even if there are strangely shaped modernist hotels in the way.
Boardwalk Inn
The final resort that you come upon on the path is the Boardwalk Inn. Aesthetically speaking, the hotel itself is not my favorite. It is a very pleasant resort in a great location and has that mix of seaside charm and high-class elegance that we all associate with the New Jersey shore (cough…moving on). Mostly what I don't like is that super creepy clown face slide that makes it look like a spaced-out clown is spitting children into the pool.
The main exterior area of the Boardwalk Inn is the boardwalk itself which is a great place for a stroll at any time. When it's empty it is serene and peaceful and has a lot of benches for looking out over Crescent Lake.
When it's busy there is so much hustle there (and even a bit of bustle) that it's one of the best spots to people watch. With face painters, entertainers, and surrey bikes galore I could spend all day just wandering the boardwalk and making fun of people (Oops I mean…uh…yeah, making fun of. I can't sugarcoat it).
That completes my wandering around the Epcot resorts, now I'm going to jump aboard the Friendship Boat and head to World Showcase for a beverage. How do you like the Epcot resorts and do you ever take time to wander around during your stay? I'd love to hear about all the nooks and crannies that I missed.
Thanks for reading!

|Key Info
Dartmoor View is a beautiful refurbished cottage, decorated to an exceptionally high standard with a subtle moor coloured theme flowing throughout. Offering spacious luxury 4 star accommodation for six people this cottage really stands up to it's name. The views from the lounge and garden are breathtaking! Drawing back the curtains in the morning, the landscape unfolding in front of you takes in the rolling undulating hills of the South Hams (a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) with the majestic heights of Dartmoor and her tors balanced in the distance. Watching the sunset over this glorious scene literally takes your breath away!
Although set in a beautiful rural location, a heavenly oasis of 42 acres of woodland and pasture, reached by a half mile private track, local amenities are only 2 miles away and a 15th Century Old Devon Longhouse serving good pub food is just 0.5 miles away - a few minutes walk away from the members only leisure centre featuring indoor heated swimming pool, learner pool, sauna, steam room and gym. All of our guests have some complimentary passes for the pool & gym to use throughout their stay.
Guests are free to roam over the land and through the woods, taking in the abundance of wildlife - buzzards, herons, mallards and the odd cormorant are daily visitors. For dusk walkers, sightings of the resident badgers, foxes and rabbits are not uncommon.
A superb base for exploring Torbay and the South Hams. Luxury 4 STAR accommodation at its best, a very well equipped kitchen, very comfortable and lovely interior with those well thought out touches that make all the difference. Home from home!

The property also boasts six quality coarse fishing lakes for guests to fish at their leisure.
The English Riviera region
South Devon is a popular holiday destination, boasting some of the highest temperatures during the summer months in England. Paignton is part of an area encompassing Torquay and Brixham - a beautiful unspoilt fishing harbour town, commonly known as the English Rivera. Oldway Mansion in the heart of Paignton was once the home of the Singer family, founders of the famous Sewing Machine. Agatha Christie was born and bred in Torquay, The Princess Theatre on the sea front often shows productions written by this legend.
Three miles from Dartmoor View is the lovely town of Totnes which has a fabulous market every Friday in the heart of the town - plenty of local produce, a lot of organic, very original foods and some marvellous interesting artefacts! During the summer months, Elizabethan dress is almost compulsory with the locals going about their everyday business on a Tuesday. The town is definitely worth a visit - plenty of great eating places and some great Tea rooms with irresistible home made cakes!
The English Riviera boasts 22 miles of coastal paths and countless sandy beaches, the nearest is Goodrington Sands but Blackpool Sands is definitely worth a visit - you may have to pay to park in the car park but once it's full no one else is allowed onto this golden beach, therefore never crowded and just fabulous really clean facilities.
During the months of June, July and August there are countless fetes, fairs, festivals, carnivals - literally something happening every week.
Dartmoor View is probably in one of the best locations for exploring South Devon. Few places in the world can genuinely offer you such a wide range of ways to spend your time. Relaxing on the beach, afternoons browsing through designer shops or visiting fascinating museums.
If you have the energy, there is a vast selection of sporting activities to choose from, both on the water and off the water, plus hundreds of place to visit within easy reach and a diary packed with events and festivals. For those looking to spread their wings there are historic towns, expansive moors, picture-postcard villages and heritage-rich cities close by, just waiting to be discovered.
Just a few places to visit:
Paignton Zoo
Quaywest Water Park
Torbay Golf Centre
Junior Quad Bike Centre
Model Village
Kent's Cavern
Torquay Museum
Torre Abbey
Compton Castel
Steam Railway
Princess Theatre
Paignton Harbour

"Wonderful accomodation, helpful owners, exceptional facilities. Great vacation!"
We enjoyed a lovely week. Fishing was superb, and all our needs were more than catered for. Very helpful owners at hand. It was a relaxing rest for myself, husband and son.
Thank you Sally Richard & David, it was lovely to meet you and we look to welcoming you back to Newbarn Farm

"Well equipped"
If I had been feeling well we would have used the pool across the road every day. It was lovely. The cottage was clean and very well equipped and the owner was friendly and helpful. The kids enjoyed playing with other guests in the 'down time' we had. It is well situated near to supermarkets and the local attractions in the nearby towns. Lots to do in the area although I personally prefer the beaches in North Devon. What a lovely spot.
Sorry, forgot to respond sooner, we are so pleased you enjoyed yourselves, hope to see you again soon, have a great Christmas.

Division of Research in Medical Education ambulatory care certification doctor visits health care services job history medical evaluation medicine occupations patients physicians public health treatment work environment working hours NACDA.VI ICPSR.IX HMCA.I This study was conducted in order to gather detailed specialty-specific data for most of the physician population of the United States. Each member of sample groups of physicians in each of 24 specialty areas completed numerically coded "log diaries" (self-enumerated questionnaires) over the course of one week during the survey data gathering period of 1976-1978. With the information obtained from the log diaries, three data files containing detailed information on the activities of the physicians surveyed and on the characteristics of their practices were prepared for each of the 24 specialty areas: allergy, cardiology, dermatology, emergency medicine, endocrinology, family practice, gastroenterology, general practice, general surgery, hematology, infectious diseases, internal medicine, nephrology, neurological surgery, neurology, obstetrics/gynecology, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopaedic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, pediatrics, psychiatry, pulmonary diseases, and rheumatology. As a result, there are 71 discrete datafiles in this dataset (emergency medicine has only two files). Parts 1-24 contain detailed information about each physician's medical or surgical practice, e.g., specialty, major professional activity, board certifications, type of practice, physician's opinion concerning distribution of specialties in the community, number of hours per week worked and in what capacity, and type of employees in physician's practice and number of hours worked. Parts 28-48 contain data on each patient the physician saw in person during the week in which he or she kept the log diary. Parts 49-71 hold the data derived from each encounter the physician had via telephone with a patient during the same period. The data in the latter two groups of files contain patient age, sex, problem focus, role, source, and diagnoses. 2006-01-18 survey data 7782 10.3886/ICPSR07782.v1 self-enumerated questionnaires United States 1976--1978 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).

4.0 out of 5 stars The amazing power of choices, and other parenting tips
Basically, this book is about how to create a positive learning environment for our children, by giving them control of non-essential choices designed to be the desired outcome regardless of which choice they choose. It also provides some great insight into how to create a trusting and positive environment while teaching some positive habits.

Amy A Adams (Manassas, Va United States) - See all my reviews
Parenting with love and Logic was extremely disappointing to me. I am in the process filling out adoption paperwork for a special needs child. the ideas of (as examples stated in this book) putting my child in the basement when they are having a tantrum and harming themselves, or of denying my child supper because he neglected to feed the cat by 5 PM (on the basis of "Mommy feeds 3 mouths. Since you didn't feed the cat, tonight those 3 mouths are Mommy, Daddy and the cat) are appalling. Many examples involved enlisting friends who would be willing to follow your children home after you put them out of the car, were willing to stay overnight at your home (after your child's waking you up in the middle of the night prompted you and your spouse to go to a hotel) or to hang around the store/mall waiting to see if your child would misbehave, so you could call them and have them take the child home. This book operates on the assumption that children are "Miniature Adults" and if that's your theory as well, perhaps this book will be of value to you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Neither love nor logic...,
By A Customer
This book was not helpful at all. It has too many religious references, and also the whole tone is kinda patronizing.
More importantly, it seems to take the idea of natural consequences to the extreme. Don't get me wrong, I truly belive that children have to learn to make their own choices and deal with the consequences, but it is parent's responsibility to guide your child toward the right ones. I don't believe that any parent in her right mind will allow her child to go outside in winter without a jacket... unless she hates her child and wants him to get pneumonia!
And spanking... well, many parents spank their children, but let me tell you from personal experience, spanking is a sign of frustration and hopelessness. Children can sense your frustration which doesn't add any credibility to you as a parent. Also what kind of sick demented person would set a goal of spanking their child as painfully as possible? What most important, this method of parenting doesn't work, as simple as that. Yes, you can manipulate your child into doing what you want, but you are teaching him wrong lesson here. You are teaching him that violence is not just ok, it's the best method of dealing with difficult situations.
If you want a good parentig book, read "Setting Limits : How to Raise Responsible, Independent Children by Providing Clear Boundaries" by Robert J. Mac Kenzie, Robert J. MacKenzie .

1.0 out of 5 stars Goody-goody love-and-logic parenting,
Michael J Welch (Saint Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This book's writing style is not my cup of tea. I don't like the religious references nor the descriptive dialogues used to portray a point. Seems a bit patronizing to me.
But the book does have it right when it says "fighting" words are wrong. I strongly disagree with the spanking and cannot advise any parents to use such "power"-tool even on doggy-basics.
What I absolutely dislike are the questioning "love-and-logic" ways of parenting. When you use that technique it is true that the children do not quite feel like fighting BUT (and that is a big but) you coerce and manipulate the children into a mold that fits your beliefs and when the children get to the point to figure that out you will have lost. The choices cannot only be choices that will in the end not let the children learn their lesson.
It is this manipulative undertone of the book that has me up the wall.
If you are looking for an author who approaches the subject from a similiar viewpoint (healthy authority with love) turn to Kevin Leman. His humorous and engaging writing has me enthralled. His books deal at the same time with the parental interrelation as well as the relation between kids and parents. I enjoy that approach and can recommend his writing.

1.0 out of 5 stars No love, no logic here!,
By A Customer
There are so many better parenting books out now that there is no need to read this one! Where is the love & logic in hitting a child under the age of 3 over & over until he complies? Where is the logic in letting a dog be gassed at the dog pound instead of feeding it? One part of the child rearing technique is called Basic German Shepherd commands (come, sit, go, no stay). The misguided authors actually seem to believe in this! It's scary! This book only got a rating of 1 because there was no choice of 0. If you need a book about firm discipline & don't want to train your children like dogs (which they most certainly are not), try a much more humane approach, such as in Jane Nelsen's "Positive Discipline A to Z" or Jerry Wyckoff's "Without Shouting or Spanking." Please don't use this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not My Favorite,
By A Customer
"Kids suffer too." is about the extent of insight into the effect of divorce on children. These authors use a gender-stereotyped, dogmatic,black and white theory of disciplining kids. They suggest demeaning broadside attacks rather than guidance or setting the child up for success. As an alternative, I would highly recommend "Boundaries"and "Boundaries with Kids"by Cloud and Townsend or "The Explosive Child " by Greene. I was very disappointed with "Love and Logic" and won't buy anymore in the series.Natural consequences are good,this book isn't.
4.0 out of 5 stars The amazing power of choices, and other parenting tips,
Michael Erisman (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
Basically, this book is about how to create a positive learning environment for our children, by giving them control of non-essential choices designed to be the desired outcome regardless of which choice they choose. It also provides some great insight into how to create a trusting and positive environment while teaching some positive habits.
My wife read this book first and I noticed an immediate change in how she reacted to our rather headstrong two-year old. Staying calm, and giving choices like: Do you want to have milk before you go to bed, or juice? This instead of the battle on whether or not she was going to bed. We find ourselves laughing at some of the absurd choices we come up with, and it's harder than it appears to consistently think this way. What is easy to see is that it works, and works well. Some of our biggest battles over dressing, or going to bed, or eating dinner have become much easier and the "uh-oh" said calmly has stopped some poor behavior in its tracks!
While we both embrace the fact that testing the limits is a natural and healthy way for young children to learn, this book gave some great insights on how to facilitate and not discourage that type of learning, and yet still teach the right behaviors.
I was not thrilled with the overall editing and layout of the book, as it jumped around a bit, and half-way through would say things like: This may not work for children under three! OK, this is information we could have used four chapters ago when the authors were making a point we were attempting to follow. That minor complaint notwithstanding, this is an excellent book and is highly recommended for all parents with young children.
5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK!!!,
Amazon Customer (Michigan) - See all my reviews
I was introduced to "Love & Logic" at a professional development seminar for teachers. I started using the principles in my classroom and eliminated so many of the struggles. I decided to buy the parenting book (this book) for my sister when she gave birth to my nephew. I ended up reading the whole thing, too, and have implemented many suggestions when I babysit for her. My nephew, who is only 2-1/2, is now a master at making choices and understanding that he doesn't get to make all the choices. He recently wanted to buy lemonade and chocolate milk at the store. I told him he had to choose...no muss, no fuss, he chose and put the lemonade back in the cooler. He has been making choices for himself since before he could walk, and I fully believe that the empowerment this book, this system, brings to kids helps them make the really big, important choices later in life. I've used the principles in the classroom and with all my nieces and nephews. They feel like they have control and options while understanding that there are consequences for bad decisions. My husband and I are the favorite aunt and uncle...and we have fewer problems when watching the kids than anyone else. They're happy, we're happy. What more could you want? Do yourself and your child's future teachers a favor and BUY THIS BOOK! I've got my copy ready for my daughter on the way.
5.0 out of 5 stars This Turned on the Lights for Me,
ps23 (Edmonton, Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Parenting With Love And Logic (Audio Cassette)
I never thought of myself as a 'hover-mother' and felt I was able to step back and allow my kids to learn from their mistakes, but this book opened my eyes to how 'hands-in' I really was in their lives.
In short, adopting the principles laid out in this book has given me permission to let logical consequences do the teaching. It takes me out of the role of monitor and micro-manager, the bad guy, and other villain roles I had been playing.
The detractors snuff on about letting a child go hungry or without a coat -- missing a snack or meal is a choice they make and, no, they will not starve. We have snow here 5-6 months a year -- so our question is 'do you want to wear your coat or carry it?' The distance between the house and the garage or the car and the schoolyard is enough to help them make up their minds at -20 C! You have to be sensible about how you make the premises work in your own family.
The concepts here have given me a strategy for regaining my sanity. My kids are 6, 5 and 4. My book is out on loan, so I'm buying a couple to pass around.
5.0 out of 5 stars Many Workable Solutions for Raising Good Kids,
By A Customer
Jim Fay believes that we must teach our children HOW to think, not just WHAT to think. I am a very "over-protective mom" and reading his book has encouraged me to stop making so many choices for my children. I am now better able to allow my child to fail and take ownership of the consequence that follows his actions without feeling so much guilt myself. Kids can definitely learn from their mistakes without losing their self-esteem. Although I do not agree nor use every strategy in this book (like "The German Shepard Technique"), I feel the Love and Logic philosophy has contributed positive change in the way we communicate with our children as well as to the degree of compliance we get from them. We like this book because there are many specific suggestions in the real life annecdotes demonstrating the exact words to try. We also recommend another book with quick-read suggestions for parents of 2, 3, 4, and 5-year-olds called 'The Pocket Parent.' This book is not written in paragraphs, but rather hundreds of short bullets of practical information. The philosophies of both authors are very similar--offering many sanity saving alternatives to yelling, bribing, threatening, critizing, and nagging that we often resort to at our wits' end.. Both books are helpful, humorous and worth keeping handy for when you need some quick advice or just some empathy on one of those really bad days when you think you are about to lose your mind!
5.0 out of 5 stars Natural consequences help kids (and adults!) learn best,
Benjamin Slivka "Ben Slivka" (Clyde Hill, WA) - See all my reviews
If you believe your job as a parent is to raise your child to be an independent, responsible adult, and that each day should take your child one step further on the path to independance of thought an action, then this is the book for you. [OTOH, if you are a "helicopter" parent, who hovers over your child to protect her and keep her safe, you should pass.]
The guidelines and ideas and techniques here are very valuable for parents, of course, but also for managers and leaders. The key is to set up learning experience the result in "natural" consequences. For example, if your child does not want to wear a coat to school (and it is not the middle of winter in Chicago), let her make that choice, and if she gets cold or wet that is her consequence. If she doesn't want to eat what you made for breakfast, you say "That's OK, lunch is coming soon enough." (She won't starve) Similarly, if a software developer is writing buggy code, make sure he has to support all of the customers of that code!
This book provides many excellent dialog snippets that help you get on the natural consequences track. Consider bedtime. Dad: It's time for bed. Susie: I don't want to go to bed. Dad: That's OK, stay up as late as you want and get as tired as you want. I hope you're not too tired tomorrow. Susie: I will! [Dad gave Susie the power, and ownership over the consequence. Even if she stays up too late this one night, over time she'll learn to connect staying up too late with being tired the next day.]
The key thing is to give your child choices, and let the *consequences* teach the lesson. Instead of lecturing and hectoring and "I told you so" -- which just focuses your daughter's anger at you -- empathize with her. "I'm sorry you were cold, I would have been cold, too." This way the child can focus on what he might have done differently, and learn to make better choices.

Just what I ordered.

We had our old projector from the ceiling. Needed a stand that could be up front and yet look nice and hide things. This works quite well. I am planning on putting a lap top computer on the inner sheld and video projector on top. Just right. Thanks!

Sweden and England met up in an international friendly on Wednesday at Sweden's new national stadium, and the home squad came away with a 4-2 victory, thanks to striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic's quartet of goals. If you happened to be watching this match you might have thought that Ibrahimovic's third goal, scored on a gorgeous free kick, might have been the best one of the day. You'd have been wrong. His fourth and final goal of the game came on a ridiculously amazing bicycle kick after England goalkeeper Joe Hart' attempted an ill-fated clearing header. The stunner of a goal was worth the price of admission alone for the 50,000 plus in attendance. Unfortunately for Ibrahimovic today was the day FIFA released their candidates for "10 Best Goals of the Year," which—sadly for them—came out a day too early, and will be an incomplete list without this absolute gem on it.

Helter Skelter - pieces of doodles
Hi all,
First off, just wanna to shout out to everyone here a big thank you for being such a big inspiration! Been lurking in the corners for the last three years... Finally mustered up the guts to actually post some stuff here. Hope I'm not too late I am here to learn and improve, so if anyone could spare a little time for some C&C, it would be brilliant and very much appreciated!
Thought I start off with some recent digital stuff I did.
So here goes nothing!

Hey XuperNova. Good studies and sketches so far. I like the second page of pages with the character designs in today's post: they're kinda creepy, but they got a lot of personality. I can definitely sense a story behind them.
It could help to bring your carefully handled traditional drawing style to your digital value sketches. In the traditional studies, the objects' surfaces are clean and the values are believable; in the digital imaginative pieces, the objects' surfaces seem kind of scribbly with a lot of brushmarks--and I believe the values are handled with too much contrast.
Check out this painting (by Bouguereau I think) and the values:
Notice how only the very darkest areas are near black (either because they are in shadow, or because they are naturally darker colored). Save for the armpit, brow, etc. most areas are gradated more gradually. I think if you imitated that, your value sketches would be more three dimensional and realistic. Hope that helps. Keep studying!

Hey there countrymate! (do i know you? ) Your pencil studies are really strong! Well blended. You could use a bigger brush to blend your digital works however. Vary the opacity and flow. That aside, keep it going!

thanks for stopping by my book, i dig your PS works. i think you've got some good ideas and the development is evident. the pencil sketches also harbor some good material. however i'd be remiss to not give you a friendly elbow and suggest you give your dude's hands some TLC. they're suffering from "mitt mode" right now, and i think given your skill, if you put in some hours on just hands, you'd really see improvement quickly. very cool stuff here though, esp. that last post, thats the winner.

Hi XuperNova,
Glad to have you on board here at CA. You'll learn a lot here trust me. YihyoungLi had some good advice in terms of values and studies. You got a good start but I think you might want to put in more concentrated studies on certain things. It might be good to do some more still-life studies and try to use less strokes in your mark making to indicate your values. Keep drawing and keep at it.

JAS: 'Gloves May be Off' in Pennsylvania Supreme Court Elections
"I think the gloves may be off," Justice at Stake Deputy Executive Director Liz Seaton told the Philadelphia Inquirer for its article about high outside spending expected to flow into Pennsylvania's upcoming elections for three open seats on the state Supreme Court.
The article relies on data collected by Justice at Stake and partner organizations to illustrate a huge increase in independent spending in state high court races, and it also quotes former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald Castille about the impact on a judge's thinking of mega-campaign donations. "These people gave me a million dollars," he said. "I mean, wow, how do you get that out of your mind?"
As Pennsylvania gears up for the high court elections this fall, the article offers almost a primer about issues involved with big-spending judicial elections and outside money; it talks about nasty TV ads that have run in some states, their impact on qualified judicial candidates seeking office, and their impact on judicial outcomes.

Nominee for Pennsylvania Supreme Court Withdraws Name
BULLETIN: Judge Thomas Kistler announced on Monday he was withdrawing his name from consideration for a Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacancy, according to the Centre Daily Times. He alluded to circumstances that have newly altered the legal system in Centre County.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's state Supreme Court nominees, Duquesne University School of Law Dean Ken Gormley and Centre County President Judge Thomas Kistler, are facing a swirl of controversy.
News accounts said Judge Kistler was getting scrutiny over an email that he apparently forwarded with what critics questioned as a racially insensitive email. According to Pennlive.com, "An image in the email, bearing the message 'Merry Christmas from the Johnsons,' showed an African-American couple hugging for the camera in a prison visitation scene."
Gormley was facing questions involving a lawsuit filed against him and the university by a female law professor, which was settled, and its terms were not disclosed. News coverage about the nominees' possible troubles appeared in The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Tribune-Review, The Patriot-News and The Centre Daily Times. Judge Kistler Read moreComments are off for this post
Change in Store for Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Change is on the docket for Pennsylvania's Supreme Court in 2015, as voters decide who will fill the three seats in question, and possibly raise the mandatory retirement age for judges.
After three judges retired last year – two in scandal and one as a retiree – then Governor Corbett nominated Justice Correale Stevens to fill one of the seats. The two others are still empty, but the Allentown Morning Call reports that Governor Wolf plans to fill the other two with interim judges soon. The wisdom of appointing two judges to the bench is being debated throughout the state, because his nominees would likely only serve until after the November election. Patriot News reports that although The Court would welcome any temporary colleagues, Chief Justice Thomas Saylor said they are "perfectly capable of operating with five justices for a one-year period.Comments are off for this post
What is the Cost of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Scandal?
An American Law Journal feature on "The Cost of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Scandal and Judges Behaving Badly" includes interviews of guests including Lynn Marks of Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts, a Justice at Stake partner group.
"The porn emails got the headlines," says Marks, referring to the latest scandal (see Gavel Grab), "but that was just the tip of the iceberg." PMC is advocating for a switch from judicial elections to merit selection of judges in Pennsylvania. A Legal Intelligencer article about the show is available through Google.

Former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Drops Appeal
Former Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin has dropped her appeal and has begun serving her sentence, according to an article by the Associated Press. Her sentence on public corruption charges includes sending apology letters to other state judges and three years of house arrest. (For more background see Gavel Grab.)
Melvin has submitted drafted apology letters, but has been met with contention by District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. "[A]ttempting to deflect blame for her actions to members of her staff can hardly be considered an apology," Zappala said. His concerns deal with a specific paragraph in Melvin's draft that reads, "In reflection, I wish I had been more diligent in my supervision of my staff and that I had given them more careful instructions with respect to the prohibition on political activity." Zappala has forwarded his comments to the sentencing judge, but no response has been received.
Melvin was convicted of using her judicial staffers, who are paid with taxpayer money, for her own state Supreme Court campaigns. This scandal involving the court has been quickly followed by another which resulted in the resignation of Justice Seamus McCaffery, leading some to question the process of electing judges.Comments are off for this post
Time of Uncertainty for Pennsylvania Supreme Court
The sudden retirement this week of Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Seamus McCaffery, who was dragged down by a pornographic email scandal, and the upcoming age-required retirement of Chief Justice Ronald Castille will create two openings on the court to be filled temporarily by gubernatorial appointment.
All told, three open seats on the seven-member court will be up for election next year and a "stampede" of high court candidates is expected to run, the Associated Press reported. Meanwhile, Justice McCaffery's retirement may leave the state Supreme Court without a tie-breaking vote for the rest of 2014.
There have been numerous calls for a switch to merit selection of top judges in the wake of the recent scandal (see Gavel Grab). In one of the latest, a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette editorial declared, "Where's the merit? Another bad justice leaves the state's top court/And it's time to say good riddance to the system of electing judges in Pennsylvania."Comments are off for this post
Conflict at Divided Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Allegations of wrongdoing are threatening to cast a cloud over the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. One justice, Seamus McCaffery, "acknowledged sending sexually explicit messages from a personal account," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, and a divided court is weighing action.
There's more to the messy and still-unfolding story. Justice McCaffery has labeled a push for his suspension by Chief Justice Ronald Castille as part of a "vindictive pattern attacks" on McCaffery, according to the Inquirer.
And Justice J. Michael Eakin, the Inquirer said, "was shown to have been sent pornographic and racially tinged e-mails on an anonymous private account"; the article said Justice Eakin "reported himself to the Judicial Conduct Board." He "accused McCaffery of threatening to release the sexually explicit emails in Read moreNo comments
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Reported Under FBI Investigation
Justice Seamus P. McCaffery of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is under FBI investigation, a Philadelphia Inquirer article said. At issue is the payment of referral fees to his wife, Lise Rapaport, who has been his chief aide for "most of the past 16 years," the newspaper said.
She made referrals to personal-injury firms, the Inquirer reported. Separately, it said a federal investigation of the Municipal Court in Philadelphia is in progress.
A lawyer for Rapaport and for Justice McCaffery labeled as "complete nonsense" the idea that there was a federal investigation and said Justice McCaffery has not done anything that was improper.
Ex-Justice Joan Orie Melvin of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently was sentenced to three consecutive one-year terms of house arrest. She was convicted of corruption in the conduct of her two campaigns for the high court (see Gavel Grab).No comments
Suspended Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Resigns
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin submitted her resignation on Monday. The justice, who was suspended earlier from the court, was convicted by a jury last month of public corruption charges arising from two Supreme Court campaigns.
Justice Melvin said she intends to pursue an appeal of her conviction. "In the meantime, however, the citizens of Pennsylvania deserve a fully-staffed Supreme Court," she wrote in her resignation letter, according to a Pittsburgh Tribune-Review article.
She was facing possible impeachment proceedings in the Pennsylvania House. Her resignation is to become effective May 1.
Following her conviction, calls have risen for Pennsylvania to switch from partisan elections to an appointive selection system for choosing judges. To learn about four former governors endorsing the appointive path, see Gavel Grab.No comments
'Sea Change' Possible on Pennsylvania Supreme Court?
Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, who will turn 70 next year, will seek retention election despite a rule requiring retirement at that age. The rule is facing a challenge in court.
A Philadelphia Inquirer article about Justice Castille's plans went further to frame them in a context of possible sweeping change for the court. As many as six of its seven justices could depart within eight years if the retirement age is not changed and if a suspended justice who faces criminal charges, Joan Orie Melvin, is removed.
"It would be a real sea change," said Lynn A. Marks, executive director of Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts, a JAS partner group.
While organized opposition to Justice Castille is not expected, he is concerned that he might have to put time into campaign fundraising for the first time, given the increased politicization of high court elections.No comments

I recently started wearing my grandmother's engagement ring. The other day, I caught my boyfriend staring at my hand. I thought he was admiring my freshly-painted purple nails, but when I asked him about it he said, "Your ring is making me jealous. I feel like you're engaged."
I thought the clouds would part and the angels would descend with a Vera Wang gown. Reality? Not so much. No one ever tells you how to handle the purgatory between knowing you found The One and Saying I Do.

steamrunner class
general overview
One of the last vessels designed and launched before the
debacle at Wolf 359, the Steamrunner Class of starships was the quintessential
utility vessel of Starfleet. The class was originally designed as
a replacement for the elder statesman of the fleet, the Miranda class,
in the role of cruiser and deep space fleet escort.
The Steamrunner class was launched and quickly slipped into the role of exploration and, working in tandem with the Saber class, in the expansion of the Federation. Equipped with modest scientific resources and diplomatic facilities, the Steamrunner proved to be a capable stand-alone deep space vessel.
The Steamrunner Class was born out of necessity. The Miranda Class
had long since passed its expected service life by more than 75 years.
In that time, Starfleet had yet to find an adequate replacement for
the multi-role Miranda-class, so the call went out to the fleet yards
of the United Federation of Planets for a new, small vessel, capable
of adapting to multiple roles, to supplement and ultimately replace
the Miranda class.
Over ten different designs were submitted to Starfleet. Several of these designs went into production under different contracts; the Norway and Saber Class vessels were among those used by Starfleet. The winning design for the Steamrunner Project was awarded to the Nesrun Shipyards in late 2337, and the prefix of NX-52000 was assigned to the project.
Soon after the basic concept for the Steamrunner was outlined, Starfleet did a 180-degree change in its direction for the "Master Plan for the Fleet" and concentrated on developing larger, multi-mission oriented vessels. It wasn't until the late 2340's that Starfleet again decided to expand its smaller, mission-specific fleet. Reviewing the design concept for the Steamrunner, Starfleet gave the go ahead and the project finally continued.
Construction of the first prototype hull, still bearing the designation NX-52000, began in 2353 in Arm 3 of the Nesrun Shipyards. The nacelle / primary hull assembly was completed within the year, and both the Primary and the Auxiliary Computer Cores were put in place by the end of 2354.
The question arose as to what type of power plant to use for both Impulse and Warp engines. Due to the unique profile of the Steamrunner Class, a standard Impulse and M/ARA configuration had to be abandoned. The debate raged as to just how powerful of a plant the vessel needed until 2355, when Consolidated Fusion Inc submitted its M/ARA and Impulse Engine design, originally intended for the Akira class vessel but having lost out to the RamJet propulsion system. Talks between CFI and Project Steamrunner went quickly, and within 2 standard months, the first test Impulse Engines and Warp Core arrived at Nesrun.
Owing to the unique design of the Hull, and that the impulse engines were originally designed for a much larger vessel, some severe modifications to the NX-52000 hull took place. The most visible modification was the extraction of the primary Warp deflector array from the primary hull. The Deflector was mounted 'outboard', in a pod strung by structural beams between the Warp Nacelles. This unique configuration was not the most efficient manner of reconfiguring the deflector network, but it was the most expedient.

Mandrake 9.1b HELP!

And what did you get when you didn't have IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH set? Did you read the ramifications (in the README, one of the appendices) of setting it before you did it? The way that using it can (and very likely will) cause major problems inside the kernel once the kernel module loads?
The nforce driver apparently doesn't use the same build system as the nVidia one. Either that, or Mandrake's gcc is terminally braindead (either one is very possible), and it searches the system include directories first. What it should do is search the -I directories first (the one that was given to it was /usr/src/linux-<version>/include, you will notice), and then the system include directories if it can't find something.
SOOOO... are there files in /usr/include/linux-<version>/include/linux?
You notice the filenames that are giving errors -- /usr/include/linux/something? These are never supposed to be used in a module, only in user programs. They don't even have to correspond to your current kernel (actually, they almost NEVER should correspond to your current kernel, but rather the one that you compiled glibc against). Modules will not work when compiled against them -- and the big long list of errors is Mandrake's way of telling you that. You're going to have to do something so that the compiler looks in the right place for the include files. That can be either making sure they exist in the right place, or moving the other ones somewhere else, or something similar.
