BELFAST, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - A 25-year-old man from Jackson has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for the drug-related fatal shooting of a Florida firefighter.
In a plea agreement, Daniel Porter pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of 31-year-old Jerry Perdomo of Orange City, Florida.
He was sentenced Monday inside Waldo County Superior Court in Belfast in an agreement that called for a maximum sentence of 30 years.
Porter was arrested in February 2012 at his father's home in Jackson where police say he killed the Seminole County firefighter over a drug debt. Both men had been working to deal prescription Oxycodone in Maine.
Porter told police that he owed Perdomo $3,000 and that Perdomo had threatened him and his family.
An affidavit said Porter and Perdomo had earlier exchanged death threats, with Porter threatening to shoot Perdomo and put him through a wood chipper, and Perdomo threatening to cut off Porter's hands.
In addition to jail time, Porter will also be on probation for a period of four years and have to pay close to $12,000 in restitution to Jerry Perdomo's family.

Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
If you are blind or partially sighted, find out how Jobcentre Plus decides if you can receive Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Here we detail how much you might get and what you will need to do to keep receiving it.
Who is ESA for?
ESA is a benefit for people who:
- have limited capability for work because of sickness or disability
- are not working (although voluntary work and some limited paid work is allowed - see our factsheet for more details)
- are aged 16 or over, but under the age at which you can claim your state pension
- are not entitled to certain other benefits (Statutory Sick Pay, Incapacity Benefit, Income Support, Severe Disablement Allowance or Jobseeker's Allowance).
ESA replaced Incapacity Benefit and Income Support (paid on the basis of incapacity for work) for new claimants on 27 October 2008. Jobcentre Plus will transfer existing Incapacity Benefit and Income Support claimants over to ESA by 2014.
A quick summary of ESA – a story of twos
ESA is a single benefit that you can break down into sets of twos.
ESA has two elements: contributory ESA for people who have paid sufficient National Insurance contributions and income-related ESA for those who are on a low income. You may qualify for one or both elements. The Government is starting to replace Income-related ESA with Universal Credit.
ESA has two phases: first, an assessment phase during which Jobcentre Plus assess your capability for work. Secondly, a main phase when you receive the full rate of ESA - depending on which group you are put into.
ESA has a medical test, called the Work Capability Assessment, that is broken into two parts: the first determines if you are entitled to ESA at all and looks at your ability to carry out everyday activities. If you are blind or partially sighted, the most relevant activities within the Work Capability Assessment are about your ability to get around out of doors independently and communicate with other people. The second part of the medical test determines which group you will be put into.
ESA has two groups: you will be placed into one of two groups - a support group or a work-related activity group - based on the results of the second test. People in the support group receive more ESA and do not have to attend interviews with a Jobcentre Plus adviser. People in the work-related activity group receive less ESA and do have to attend regular interviews with an adviser. If you are in the work-related group, the maximum amount of time that you can receive contributory ESA for is limited to 365 days. Your 13-week assessment phase counts towards the 365-day period. The time limit does not apply to you if you are in the support group.
Our factsheet goes into much more detail about the rates, elements, phases, assessment and groups for ESA:
How do I claim ESA?
Jobcentre Plus administer ESA on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Call them on 0800 055 6688 to make a claim. They will take all the information they need over the phone and then send you a claim form to sign. You may also be asked to attend an interview at a local Jobcentre Plus office.
You will need to get a medical certificate (called a fit note) from your GP at the start of your claim. After 13 weeks Jobcentre Plus will do their own medical test and you will no longer need fit notes.
You can ask for you claim for ESA to be backdated for up to three months.
After you have been on ESA for around eight weeks, Jobcentre Plus will begin the process of assessing you under the Work Capability Assessment. They will send you a form called an ESA50 to fill in. This asks about your disabilities and about the sort of activities that you find difficult. You have four weeks to complete and return the ESA50.
When DWP Medical Services receive your ESA50 they will decide whether you need to attend a face-to-face medical examination. The examination will be carried out at by a Health Care Professional (HCP) who may be a doctor, a nurse or some other suitably qualified person, at a Medical Services examination centre.
It would be a good idea to take a copy of your sight impairment certification document (CVI or BD8) with you to this medical examination.
Revisions and appeals – help for blind and partially sighted people
If the DWP have turned down your claim for ESA, or you are unhappy with how much you have been awarded and believe you are entitled to receive more, you can appeal the DWP's decision. Please see our benefits appeals page for information on how to challenge an ESA claim decision. You can also call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 to speak to one of our benefits advisors or email firstname.lastname@example.com

And whats inside your cleat counts, too. Nike® built the Mercurial with an innovative glass fiber composite outsole.
Choose the cleat thats best-suited for your game. Athletes who play on soft ground should look for a Mercurial with injected blades and screw-in studs, ensuring grip on natural grass. Players who take to firm ground should go for the unmatched traction of TPU-injected studs. The indoor soccer Nike® Mercurial features a flat, molded gum rubber outsole.
The latest line of Nike® Mercurial cleats is built from synthetic leather. Synthetic leather provides a breathable, lightweight feel, and does not require a break-in, as natural leather cleats often do. This leather is treated to be water-resistant, so it will remain durable during play in inclement conditions. This material is also easy to clean and dry out post-game.
The Nike® Mercurial cleat is outfitted with a perforated sockliner that enhances fit and provides added comfort during grueling games. A low-profile heel box improves ball control.

Absolutely, which is exactly the concern. He doesn't do enough with 2 strikes to protect the plate. With his strength he could go with many of those close pitches and muscle them for hits.

It has long been assumed that positive affirmations are the key to happiness. In fact, there are countless books, websites, and resources dedicated to encouraging people to engage in positive thinking by repeating favorable statements about the self. Oprah Winfrey, one of the most iconic social figures in the United States, often encourages her viewers to engage in self-affirmation. However, recent work has found that these practices may actually undermine self-esteem for certain people.
Joanne Wood and colleagues found that when compared to high self-esteem individuals, people with low self-esteem who repeated positive affirmations (e.g., "I am a lovable person") actually experienced a worse mood and expressed feeling less lovable. Moreover, when low self-esteem individuals were asked to focus on the ways in which positive affirmations were true of them (positive focus), they actually experienced worse mood, lower state self-esteem, and lower happiness than individuals who were instructed to think about how the affirmation may or may not be true of them (neutral focus).
These findings indicate that while positive thinking may be somewhat effective for people high in self-esteem, it is likely to be detrimental for low self-esteem individuals, the group these affirmations are supposed to help. One can hope that with further research, the next wave of self-help products will be beneficial for the ones who need it most.

Lessons learned as a kid are pertinent
There are lessons we all learn as children that stick with us the rest of our lives. Hopefully some of those experiences of a young age will save our life some day.
Letter to the Editor: Paying for free speech

Mike Zaneis: November 2013 Archives
The economic consulting firm IHS Global Insight estimates this could place 1.7 million U.S. jobs at risk. Today, advertising sales help support 20 million jobs, or 15% of all jobs in the country.
IAB members have no doubt been exposed to the congressional turmoil of late over budget policy in Washington. From one debt ceiling crisis to the next, to sequestration, and a complete shutdown of the government, U.S. budget deficits are driving policy down the same road as a kicked can.
It is widely understood that a reform of our taxation system is the first step forward to finding a long term solution for deficit reduction and economic growth. Early last year, House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) and Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) established a process to begin review of the U.S. tax code, last overhauled in 1986.
IAB has learned Chairman Camp is prepared to formally release the Committee's draft tax reform bill in the coming days; and, Chairman Baucus will begin briefing Committee members next week to prepare introduction shortly thereafter.
Why does this matter to you?
Many U.S. companies have, for decades, declared advertising as an, "ordinary and necessary cost of doing business." Similar to employee payroll, office rent and other business expenditures, advertising is considered a standard deduction under applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax rules. It is the unified goal of Chairmen Camp and Baucus, and many U.S. industries, to see a lowered corporate tax rate (from 35% to as low as 28%). However, in order to accomplish a lowered overall rate, many deductions find themselves on the chopping block as "pay for's" to offset the reduced revenue.
Specifically, the House Ways and Means Committee has developed draft tax reform legislation that would be funded by imposing a tax on advertising.
Today, businesses may deduct 100% of the cost of their advertising. The proposal in the Committee's draft tax reform legislation would allow a business to deduct only 50% of its advertising costs in the year the ad runs but to delay the deduction for the remaining 50% over 10 years - thus deducting an additional 5% each of those years. The Senate Finance Committee draft is widely rumored to mirror this "Cost Recovery" bill language.
While Leadership in both the House and Senate is not prepared to hold a vote on tax reform this year; once introduced, the draft bills will become THE base line for all future debates.
What are the consequences?
The very real consequence of having advertising re-classified (in whole or in part) as a taxable business activity is that client advertisers will do less of it. Any tax percentage assessed will incline companies to reduce advertising and media spending in order to mitigate or off-set any tax. This impacts ad agencies directly -and can adversely affect entire local economies and job bases where agencies and advertising-related businesses play such an important role.
The proposal also does not consider that companies buy new advertising each year and would feel the brunt of this tax annually. Not only would they have less money to spend on advertising year after year, but media companies would also be impacted as advertisers would be forced to reduce their ad buys.
Consider the impact this proposal would have on the economy:
- Employment in the ad-supported internet ecosystem doubled over the past four years to 5.1 million, making it one of the most dynamic sectors in the recessionary American economy, according to a study by researchers at the Harvard University Business School, commissioned by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).
- The ecosystem contributed $741 billion to the U.S. economy in 2011, close to double 2007 figures, and accounted for 5.1 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), an uptick from 3.5 percent four years ago.
What can I do?
Begin thinking about what this change in tax code would mean to your company's bottom line and ability to keep hiring. Stay plugged into IAB Public Policy news and alerts; and, be prepared for a call to action.

Many kids are naturally generous and care about the struggles of people in their communities and around the world. But Dave Aldrich wants to take that motivation a step further, and train a new generation of skilled philanthropists. Aldrich is the founder of a non-profit called "Grab the Torch," which is hosting a summer camp in western Maine next month. He spoke with Keith Shortall about the mission of the non-profit and its focus on older teens.
Dave Aldrich jokes that he was a career business bad guy, a consultant specializing in corporate turnarounds - until he created Grab The Torch in 2008.
The idea is based on a simple premise: "that 16- and 17-year-old kids - if we get them then, and we get this moving through their heads at that point, they'll set a course for the greater good. And it seems to be working."
The kids who attend Grab the Torch summer institutes, he says, are asked when they arrive at camp about their interests, and about how they'd like to make a difference in the world.
To hear more from Dave Aldrich, click the "Listen" button above.
The Grab the Torch program's summer camp is focused on leadership, ethics and philanthropy. The next camp is at Gould Academy in Bethel from July 14-19.
Dave Aldrich says there are 10 full scholarships for Maine kids still available.

I'm in the minority.
Of the 3 movies, I thought
The Matrix was good.
Reloaded sucked total ass.
Revolutions was better than even The Matrix
If you haven't seen it, you shouldn't be reading this thread, and should make your own mind up on whether it's good or bad. If you have seen it, you've got your own opinions that likely contradict my own as I've only talked with like 2 people who thought it was good.

No venting.
No OP talk.
Strictly reconciling progress between couples. Share your stories as you heal.
"Well I've been had, yeah I guess that's how it looks. And it's not funny like on TV, and it's not smart like it is in books."
From December 18th, 2011
I triggered this morning.
First time in a long, long while. (9 years since dday)
I've been going through some pretty cruddy personal medical issues and that has me down and on top of it something happened this morning and I triggered hard.
My H called me from work and he could tell something was wrong so I told him and then I told him I was hanging up and he needed to get back to work.
I hung up and he called me back.
I told him I didn't want to talk and he needed to work. He has a wonderful job and I don't want there to be any issue with his work performance just because I was having a hissy fit.
He said, "I am calling you back in one minute and you need to answer."
He left his job and walked outside and called me from his cellphone and said "Now, we are talking this out right now and do you need me to come home?"
I told him no and that I knew logically that everything was okay.
He said this wasn't about logic it was about emotions and he wanted me to be okay.
I again expressed concern about his job and he told me
"This job is fine but it isn't more important to me than you. You come first. I can get another job, I can't get another wife. I am staying on this phone with you until I know you are okay."
And he did.
He told me over and over again that he was sorry. That he hated that he put me in this situation.
That he would do whatever it took to help me through this.
That nothing else mattered to him but my wellbeing and happiness.
That whatever I needed was mine.
And on and on for 10 minutes.
He just talked and talked and talked while I came down from my emotional whack.
He didn't once express frustration with me.
He didn't for a single second say that he was needed at work.
He didn't get angry, defensive, huffy.
He didn't say "I thought we were over this by now".
He did everything right.
And that is what remorse is.
And that is what reconciliation is.
And that is why I stay and why I love him.
A lot of them aren't around any more but I give tons of credit to the SI WS's who held my hand and helped me understand.
ETA: it's not really a 'story' as I couldn't really think of just one.

When my H was a boy, he injured his knee climbing over a fence. It was a long, deep cut that bled a great deal and required a lot of stitches to close. Over time it healed, but there is a long, gnarled scar to mark the place of that wound.
We were talking about our progress in reconciling, and I again expressed my sorrow for having hurt him. He took my hand, and placed it on the scar on his knee and said, "This didn't hurt forever. We'll be okay."
Even after 8 years it still humbles me that he could have that kind of compassion for my pain in spite of his. Yes, the scar will always be there, but the infection is gone- the wound is healed and we ARE ok.
"There would be no grand absolution, only forgiveness meted out in these precious sips. It would well up from his heart in spoonfuls, and he would feed it to me. And it would be enough."
D-Day - September 3, 2010, 5:30 am
Currently in reconciliation and happy.
Married 22 years, together 23
Today he texted me saying he had a serious question and a friend of his wanted him to join World of Warcraft which I've heard to be a rather addicting game. I learned today from tsol25 that some guilds have time commitments. Anyways Wbf and I talked about this and I said I know he has changed and I felt that he would know if the game was not something he could handle and I thought he should go for it if he wanted to. We both agreed he has changed and we both think he can handle it but if either of us thinks it's not working he'll stop.
My point is, more than a year out from Dday, wbf asks me my opinion on things (not asking permission, just my opinion) and gaming may not be a big deal to most people but it was a huge part of the A and actually it's never triggered me because I felt it was *him* not the gaming that created the environment for his first A.
I am so happy that he is open and honest with me; he expresses regularly that he's happy I've stayed with him and how happy he is with me; he plans little dates for us since my love language is quality time and I try to plan little massages for him when I do get to see him at either of our homes.
I feel so happy and I trust my gut (#1 thing I learned in IC) that everything is as he says. I know people have said to look out for the "terible 2's" where you feel anger and other stuff in the 2nd year but wbf and I talked about how sometimes reading stories can set up a self-fulfilling prophecy so we agreed we wouldn't go by anyone else's timelines, only take it one day at a time as we have been and just be honest and appreciative of each other
forgiven and in R :)
"To err is human.
To forgive,
The morning of our anniversary, I suggested we go for a walk along the lake. I spotted a bench, and suggested we sit & rest. I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket that I had written a speech. I first asked him to remove his wedding ring. A look of horror crossed his face, I think he thought the worst. He refused to remove it, but I did it for him. Then I asked him to throw it in the lake. Reluctantly, he did so. I told him that along with the ring, he threw away all the terrible memories associated with his infidelities. I then pulled out a brand new shiny ring, and told him it was a symbol of our new beginning, a restart of our marriage which had been interrupted for 4 years. We both had tears in our eyes, and hugged each other for a very long time. That was a real turning point for us.
We have our good days and our bad days, but our bad days aren't nearly as bad, and they are fewer and farther between.
I feel like with our situation, as with many others out here, we are defying the odds.
I'm proud of that.
I have a genuinely remorseful FWW who has worked hard to make many positive changes in herself. And, man... I am so in love with her, mentally, physically and emotionally.
I am at a point now where I honestly have more hope for our future as a married couple than I did pre D-Days.
Things are going good.
I'm ecstatic about the open communication that my wife and I have now. We can talk about anything openly and in depth.
I would say our status at this point is: successfully reconciling.
I'm proud of our happy little team of Losfer, Amerasia and DS7.
Thanks, SI. You've helped us a lot.

When we got married, we were both completely messed up individuals who made a completely messed up M. We had no healthy coping or relationship skills at all. When I got sober 3 years ago, as I got healthier, I longed for the kind of M I had never experienced but thought was possible. My H was not ready for anything like that. It was so hard to see him clearly during those years, when I could see the man he had the potential to be while actually he was something much less.
The past 4 months have been like something from a dream. He is becoming open with his feelings and his thoughts. He tells me every single day that he loves me and wants to be with me for the rest of his life. He is making good financial decisions. He is becoming the leader in our home that I have wanted him to be. I enjoy being around him and I miss him when he goes to work. We are both making changes to work schedules to allow us more time to spend together.
Our M is nothing like it was prior to the A. It is a new creation, built on new ground that has been properly prepared for a foundation.
I need to read these positive stories. They give me hope for the future on my roller coaster ride. I am just 4 months from DDay.
We love each other, are in MC and he is in IC. He is committed to making this marriage work and doing all the right things. Which other than the A, he was doing before. That's what hurts so much.
I want to believe that my M will be stronger and more deeply connected than before.
There is a thread where you have to just say one word on the way you are feeling. My word is renewal. Renewal of hope, happiness, and love.
I look forward to more "success" stories!
This story is a big sad and pathetic and funny, but also hopeful.
Around the time of our one year antiversary, I was really struggling. The ANGER phase was in full force and I was just not doing well. My fWH and I were having a "conversation" via text (which was against our rules) where I was listing in fine order his failures and shortcomings during the affair, and before, and likely after, and how I was not sure WTF I was doing.
At the time, I'd been taking walks during my lunch hour wit a cowworker. In the midst of this fight, I realized that I was a) getting out of control and b) exercise would likely do me good. So I sent him a text which said, "I am going to walk," and then left with my coworker.
Fast forward one hour. I get back to the office and there are 3 phone messages from my spouse, 2 voice mails on my work phone, and about 6 on my cell along with text messages.
I called him wondering WTF was going on. When he picked up, he burst out crying. He was home. He had left work, driven home an hour, called his boss and said he wasn't sure he was coming back. Why? Because when I said, "I am going to walk" he thought I meant OUT OF THE MARRIAGE.
I drove home to see him there, honestly, half laughing at what a dumb ass he was. But when I saw his face, and how utterly distraught and distroyed and terrified he was, from that moment on, I really KNEW he was all in. And that maybe, if he was that in, maybe I could be too.
DH likes himself now, that has been a fundamental shift. Otherwise, whilst we started rebuilding from the foundations, the rebuild was to the previous model, only adapting to allow for a few more windows, and some sacred, adult only private space, only tinkering around the edges therefore because it is fundamentally a very strong, warm and loving house, full of laughter.
And I posted the below on my antiversary in December, which I hope is read as positive, which was its intention:
Three years ago on this day of December, my husband had been so down and unusually depressed that despite having much crap in my life (also having held the reins of the household alone during his many absences that autumn), I offered to do the huge work of his tax return to help him with his stress.
He was so abashed by my evident love, care and concern he blurted out about the five month affair he had ended two weeks previously.
I am - ahem - professionally quite calm in a crisis. I told him I abhorred his need to pass the burden of his guilt and the responsibility of his actions and resulting mess to me and just before Happy Family Christmas. Asked her name, was horrified that I knew her professionally, that I had even published her work, and remembered she was young, single, and very attractive.
I didnt ask for any details, refused all further conversation, and spent all night researching the male menopause on the internet. Went to work the next day and wrote a cracking grant application. Was shocked and amazed by the burning pain in my heart. Head clear, body stupified. Sent him an email asking for details of all other women. Got one name, dates were dubious, I corrected that fact by email.
Spent the rest of the week out in the evenings. Asked for all passwords at the end of the week. His parents arrived for Christmas. In between pretending to eat, I spent late nights on his email and discovered a teenage Lotharios correspondences conducted in bored moments at work. Decided to respond to it as a wake-up call to get myself higher up my list.
Started taking late night walks in total darkness in the countryside to train myself to not be afraid of the unknown and to trust and rely on my senses. One night found myself at the sea, and thought the water looked very inviting and wanted to walk out and be swallowed by its embrace. It was seductive, so seductive
. but the image was ruptured by Edie rising to the surface, irrepressible, enjoying breath and life, she is anyway an incredibly good swimmer. And I remembered my children. I sat for a long time looking at the sea, and did some deep breathing to tap deep into my grief, and finally the tears, body-wrenching sobs, came. For hours. Extraordinary entity, the body.
Went to work overseas, still couldnt sleep or eat a thing, first panic attack and ended up in hospital. Came home eventually and spent the next rollercoaster year piecing together, through sleuthing, disclosure, TT, and much discussion the new narrative of my twenty-four years with WH. Always swimming against waves and underwater currents, trying to recognise which period of my life they came from, from childhood, other, or future. Began carrying a water pistol as a way of dealing with triggers, so many, assailed from all sides, constant. It was, has been, quite a swim, and despite my great fear of drowning, I needed to look on it as an adventure.
But you know, my narratives have not in fact changed. Everything had been genuine and authentic. My perceptions of WH as a whole, good person had always been accurate. I had even known the puer eternus in H really well, but now I was only interested in a whole man not puer eternus. That bit was up to him. If he wanted to be that man. My perceptions of myself had been accurate too.
And now I really do trust myself.
I told him today that if I could freeze how I feel today and where we are at right now that I would be a happy woman. I know the roller-coaster will dip again, but I am so enjoying today!
I had to take they day off because I went for my yearly physical. Kids are gone to grandmas and preschool. Quiet morning....ahhhh breathed in and out and enjoyed the silence for a bit than got ready.
I then went to the docs and got that out of the way and was done about noon. I texted my fws to see if he wanted to grab lunch together. He said sure and off I went to meet him.
He got there before me and had my drink already for me. When I got to the table he got up gave me a kiss and we sat. The best part was that he was truly excited to see me. He was smiling ear to ear like I haven't seen in years. And me I was giddy as a teenager. Butterflies in the belly having a crush giddy I tell ya.
We even held hands at the table. It was like we were 16 all over again!!!
We were so happy just to be able to have this time together as that we rearly get the chance as that we work on complete different sides of the city.
I saw the love in his eyes for me. And me, I am still so completely in love with my husband.
I hope that those that saw us didn't think we were the ones having the affair the way we were acting. The pure joy in both of us was just brimming out of us.
Now this is how to start off a weekend!!!
Tomorrow we are going to MC for probably the last time. It's kind of bittersweet for me. I really like the guy and he helped us tremendously. You could tell that he was rooting for us.
My SI peeps that need a positive post ....here you go.
IASS(my fws) and I are a success story. The stories are out there!!!
ETA:My phone sucks so bad that I had to fire up the computer to get all the typos
FWH and I were cleaning the house, we were listening to a retro rock station and a series of very bad 80s songs came on. we were laughing and singing with our kiddos. FWH was vacuuming the rugs and then started to roll up the big one so it would get filled with pine needles when we took the tree down.
The DDs started sitting on the rug while he was rolling it up and I thought he was going to lose it with them. When he was in A mode he had very little patience for the DDs when he was trying to get housework done so he could go out and play. but today, I saw this small grin on his face and him struggle to keep a straight face with the girls. As well as the girls absolute comfort in pushing his buttons.
At that moment I realized how much he enjoys being with us. And how different he really is.
I can only control myself, no one else. I do not have that kind of power.
I hesitated for a minute and then told him I was laughing at something posted on SI that was directed towards another WH. I told him I thought that mght make him uncomfortable so I wouldn't tell him if he didn't want me to. He said okay and went back to watching TV.
Two minutes later, he tapped me on the leg and said "I changed my mind." I said "About what?"
He said - I don't care if it makes me uncomfortable, you should be able to tell me anything you want. And if it's helping you get through this mess I caused, I'm 100% behind it.
It was just so nice, since I know how uncomfortable he is discussing the A and the choices he made.
We aren't that far out, but that was a nice positive moment!
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
In my life I've battled many things; cancer, strokes, depression, the death of loved ones, etc ... and without question the infidelity that penetrated this family was the bloodiest battle of all. But it is a battle I (we) won.
If you and your S want to win this battle, you can too. Be patient, be deliberate, be strong and remain hopeful.

Priority deadline - October 15, 2015 | Final deadline - Dec. 1, 2015
You must submit applications to the Business Honors Program through the ApplyTexas application and the supplemental Online Honors Application. All applicants must complete both applications to be considered for admission. BHP applicants must choose "Unspecified Business" (200400) as their first choice major on the ApplyTexas application to be considered for admission to the BHP. You can find the the complete application requirements in the checklist below.
Note: Admission to UT Austin and/or the McCombs School of Business does not guarantee admission to the Business Honors Program. We will mail notification of admission to the BHP independently of the UT admissions decision prior to March 15. Freshmen are admitted to the BHP only for the fall semester.
The following criteria are used in selecting candidates for freshman acceptance to BHP:
All materials are sent to UT Admissions where they are processed and routed to the appropriate college or program. UT Admissions will NOT route applications to the BHP Office until the application is complete.
Students who complete their application on or before October 15 will be read first by the admissions committee. This first group of applicants will receive communication before the regular decision pool. Students who applied by the early deadline will be evaluated under the same criteria as students who have applied by the regular deadline of December 1. The possibility of admission will neither be negatively or positively influenced because the file was submitted under the early deadline. The benefit to apply by the early deadline is earlier notification of the status of your application.
If admitted, this is a non-binding admissions decision. Students will not be required to enroll in UT, McCombs, or BHP.
BHP has a limited number of merit-based scholarships to award each year. Every BHP applicant will be considered for these scholarships. There is no separate application for BHP scholarships.
There are scholarships available through the Texas Exes for entering freshmen. You must apply for these scholarships by December 1 through the Texas Exes website. Applicants interested in the Forty Acres Scholars Program must select to apply for that program and write an additional essay. There is not an option to apply for Texas Exes scholarships on the ApplyTexas application. Students must fill out the separate Texas Exes application in order to be considered for one of their scholarships.
To view requirements for all honors programs at the University of Texas, please visit the Special Instructions for Honors on the BeaLonghorn Web site.

Youth Eye Complex
If wrinkles or loss of firmness are a concern, Youth Eye Complex contains ingredients known to improve skin's barrier.
Cleansing Complex
This is a very good but needlessly expensive water-soluble cleanser for all skin types.
Add to Faves?
iS Clinical At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good (but pricey) water-soluble cleanser; one exceptional serum and eye cream; good body lotion.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; repetitive serum formulas; several serums contain skin-damaging alcohol; impossible to assemble a comprehensive skin-care routine; the SPF 20 Powder Sunscreen is terribly dry and a huge mess to use; skin lighteing products whose benefits are iffy, yet they cost a fortune.
From a marketing point of view iS Clinical is trying to be yet another "cosmeceutical" line of products designed by physicians and pharmacologists. The owners of iS Clinical claim to have assembled a "world renowned" team to bring consumers the best in anti-aging skin care and what they describe as "anti-aging medicine," even though iS Clinical products aren't about medicine any more than a spoonful of sugar is about medicine (with apologies to Mary Poppins).
The "iS" in the brand's name stands for "innovative skincare." Couple this with the "clinical" portion of the name and it's hardly surprising that lots of consumers concerned about aging skin are wondering yet again if this is the final frontier for their older looking skin. We'll cut to the chase: iS Clinical isn't the anti-aging line to beat, buy, or borrow. In many ways, several of their products are either dated, antiquated formulations or basic one-note products. Overall, their products don't hold up to lots of other products with far superior formulations, many of which cost a lot less, such as Clinique, Estee Lauder, and Paula's Choice to name a few.
The prices for iS Clinical products are definitely on the high side, which is one reason why it's critical that you know which ones are worth the splurge and which ones are a must to avoid, not only for the sake of your beauty budget but also for the health of your skin. As usual in such lines, there are a handful of outstanding products to consider, but there also are a lot to watch out for.
Back to the team behind this brand: If they're indeed preeminent men and women in their fields, it's truly embarrassing that they've created products whose claims are not based on proven, substantiated scientific research. For example, instead of using thoroughly researched exfoliants, such as glycolic acid or lactic acid, iS Clinical went back to the 1990s fad of including mixed fruit and sugarcane extracts for exfoliation. Think of it as using a typewriter instead of a computer; why would you ever go back to a typewriter?
Another shortcoming is their Active Serum for acne, which contains a lot of skin-damaging alcohol and menthol (both really bad for skin), while being void of ingredients proven to benefit blemish-prone skin.
One more point: iS Clinical promotes, under their "Integrity" header on their Web site, the idea that they "…strive to dispel myths in the skincare industry by disclosing and clinically validating all of the ingredients we use." However, there is absolutely not a shred of clinical validation anywhere to be found. It seems that iS Clinical wants you to think they're doing the consumer a favor by providing ingredient lists on each product, but disclosing ingredient information is required by law and has been in the United States since 1976—it's not a discretionary decision cosmetics companies can sidestep, although some have tried! Besides, the company's site only lists key ingredients (those they want to play up) so you're still not getting the full story.
It's almost funny, but not really, that as a way to explain the rationale behind their formulas, they have a section on their Web site called "Clinical Opinions." Well, "opinions" are not the same as scientifically validated research, and that's precisely what is lacking. In fact, the information presented has little to do with skin care. It's actually bizarre because the only thing they provide is a set of the same tired before-and-after pictures and improvement charts for certain products; but, without knowing key details about how the tests were performed and under what conditions the pictures were taken, they aren't just opinions, they are misleading.
For more information about iS Clinical, call (888) 804-4447 or visit www.isclinical.com.
Note: Now this was a first! When my team contacted iS Clinical to inquire about their animal testing status, we were told that they do not make this claim because they believe human beings are animals, and of course, their products are meant for people. We have no idea what that means.

Zen Shortsby Jon J. Muth
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Michael," said Karl. "There's a really big bear in the backyard."
This is how three children meet Stillwater, a giant panda who moves into the neighborhood and tells amazing tales. To Addie he tells a story about the value of material goods. To Michael he pushes the boundaries of good and bad. And to Karl he demonstrates what it means to hold on to frustration.
With graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth — and Stillwater the bear — present three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch.
"Muth, who has retold traditional stories such as Stone Soup and Tolstoy's The Three Questions, and played up their spiritual elements with his elegant watercolors, here introduces three Zen stories from Japan. He frames the trio of tales within the context of a suburban household. Three siblings befriend a giant panda when his red umbrella blows into their yard. Speaking 'with a slight panda accent,' he introduces himself as Stillwater, and charms Addy and Michael — though Karl, the youngest, is still 'shy around bears he [doesn't] know.' Each day one of the children goes to visit Stillwater, revealing something of him- or herself. The panda chooses an appropriate Zen fable for each child, illustrated with rough-edged, Chinese-style brush-and-ink paintings on duotone pages, to play up the story-within-a-story structure. In the first, Stillwater tells Addy about his Uncle Ry, who disarms a robber by treating him like a guest (older readers will pick up from the closing author's note that 'Uncle Ry' is shorthand for the Zen hermit Ryokan Taigu). In the next, a wise farmer demonstrates that good luck can quickly turn to bad luck and back again (a tale Ed Young also retold in The Lost Horse). In the last, a monk learns how to stop brooding and live in the present. Readers will fall easily into the rhythm of visits to Stillwater and his storytelling sessions, and many more will fall in love with the panda, whose shape and size offer the children many opportunities for cuddling. Ages 4-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Muth's latest is both an accessible, strikingly illustrated story and a thought-provoking meditation....
"Beautifully illustrated in two distinct styles....Appealing enough for a group read-aloud, but also begging to be shared and discussed by caregiver and child, Zen Shorts is a notable achievement." School Library Journal
"Muth's watercolor illustrations...are serene, airy and grounded in ethereal washes of gentle color. The children are satisfyingly childlike in their bearing, and Stillwater's every pose is marked with balance, geometry and lighthearted visual pleasures..." The New York Times Book Review
"Limpidly beautiful watercolors and a wry, puckish gentleness mark these three Zen stories....Every word and image comes to make as perfect a picture book as can be." Kirkus Reviews
When Stillwater the bear moves into the neighborhood, the stories he tells to three siblings teach them to look at the world in new ways.
With graceful art and simple stories that are filled with love and enlightenment, Jon Muth — and Stillwater the bear — presents three ancient Zen tales that are sure to strike a chord in everyone they touch. Full color.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
New Roads Treatment Centers, a mental and behavioral health care service based in Sandy, is expanding into Carbon County.
The company expects to open a facility for outpatient drug treatment and other services in the Business and Technical Assistance Center before Oct. 1.
Out-Patient Director Corey Markisisch and Jessie Dennerline, Director of Business Development, met with business groups and health care providers Monday at Castleview Hospital. The hospital and the Business Expansion and Retention program hosted the meeting.
Karl Kraync of the BEAR program explained that the need for this sort of treatment program became apparent while his team was providing substance abuse education for some 1,300 employees in the coal industry. The number of referrals to health care providers demonstrated the need.
Markisich said that the New Roads treatment program will differ from the ones offered by Four Corners Behavior Health. While Four Corners deals more with clients whose treatment is mandated by the courts or legal system, New Roads clients tend to come from employer referrals or clients themselves, he said.
Four Corners has also been facing budget cuts over the past few years, which have curtailed the agency's ability to handle its case load led to waiting lists.
Dennerline said New Roads partners with psychiatrists, psychologists and addictionologists. This has provided the expertise needed to deal with a spectrum of mental and behavioral disorders ranging from substance abuse to eating disorders, bi-polar disorder and anxiety.
Markisich added that the overall treatment program is centered on life skills development, giving clients the capability and confidence to deal with life challenges.
New Roads has been operating for about three years.
The treatment center in Price will initially offer evening hours, but could expand into daytime treatment later.

Well, what are pros and cons?
If I understand it right, the packages in "Universe" area are not checked by Ubuntu stuff for compartibility. But there are some packages that I need to use from outside of what Ubuntu offer. For example, my MUA is Sylpheed which Ubuntu don't have. I got it from Debian's unstable tree by including Debian's link in sources.list. But if possible, I would like to keep exclusive to Ubuntu's links. I also know that currently, there are npo packages list like what Debian have for Ubuntu but it's in the works.
So, what's in "Universe" area of Ubuntu? I don't like to screw this box up with something I don't know. Educate me, please.
All packages not in the "universe" and "multiverse" repos are 'officially supported' but the Ubuntu team. I think that means that you can hire them to support you if you have problems with what they have in their official repos (this is how the company makes their money). The "universe" and "multiverse" repos are community-supported repos. "universe" is free software, "multiverse" is non-free/different licensing (ie, nvidia drivers/realplayer/et all).
I've been using Ubuntu since September on five different boxes, and the first thing I've done in every case is added Universe and Multiverse to my repos. Universe/Multiverse shouldn't be considered unstable...it's just as stable as the rest of Ubuntu, the company just provides the disclaimer "use at your own risk" to cover their ass. Any software worth having for your desktop system is in Universe, so I'd definitely recommend you enable it.

The correct skin design for the correct device was easy to find on the website. Delivery and payment options were also easy to navigate. I was kept updated throughout with estimated dispatch and delivery times. Most importantly, the quality is good and the skin covers all the edges of the iPhone, not just the front and back.Richard Penney, United Kingdom
