Graduating debt free: Helping LEO parents select options on financing a child's college education
What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? — Cicero
Question: Will the sacrifice of saving and investing for a child's college education be outweighed by developing a well-educated person, and ultimately eliminating long-term college debt? Answer: Definitely, yes. If a law enforcement parent and/or guardian develops a sound and consistent investment strategy early in a child's life to finance his formal education, one can minimize or eliminate college debt through wise financial planning.
June is a special month in the lives of many American families. High school and college graduations are significant social events and defining rights of passage for many families.
For many law enforcement parents, the culmination of their life's efforts is to be present at their child's college graduation. However, the path to finance and educate a child in today's economy is becoming increasingly challenging and often difficult. A parent who has a new born today must immediately begin to establish an investment and/or financial plan that will allow them to educate their child from grades kindergarten through high school, and ultimately college.
College Planning Begins at Birth
Given the increasing costs of a formal education, a child's college education savings plan now begins at birth. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and extended family members can all contribute toward a child's college fund.
In 2010, the College Board noted that nearly half (47 percent) of all full-time undergraduate college students attended a four-year public college that has published charges of less than $9,000 per year for tuition and fees. At the other end of the spectrum are private four-year colleges that cost $35,000 or more yearly in tuition and fees. These higher-priced colleges sometimes have bigger endowments and more grant aid available — which may mean that you can get more financial help to attend the institution. Finally, public two-year junior colleges charge, on average $2,713 per year in tuition and fees.
A Competitive Society Requires Higher Education
Investing in a college education is usually a smart investment, and money well spent. Employment numbers indicate that a college degree is worth the investment. On August10, 2010, Mr. Lee Bierer of the Chicago Tribune's McClatchy News wrote an article entitled, "Is a four-year college degree worth the cost?" In that article, Mr. Bierer noted, in February 2010, the unemployment rate among those with at least a bachelor's degree was five percent, compared to 15.6 percent for those with a high school diploma.
The United States Census Bureau reports:
"Over an adult's working life, high school graduates can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million; those with a bachelor's degree, $2.1 million; and people with a master's degree, $2.5 million."
How Much You Have to Invest
The College Board noted by 2020, a parent could pay as much as $287,000 at a private institution and $133,000 at a public one for a child's four-year college education. Therefore, the sooner you develop a highly focused college investment strategy that is designed to accumulate the amount you will need for tuition, the less strain college costs will place on the family budget when a child enrolls. However, it is important to start saving right away.
The mutual fund company, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. put together the estimated numbers below that give you a sense of costs of a four-year college education, including tuition, room and board, books, and transportation, and the monthly investments required to pay for them. The calculations assume a five percent annual increase in college costs, an eight percent annual pretax investment return, and no additional investments or earnings once the student enrolls. The return does not reflect the performance of any specific investment.
Also, as a part of your long-term investment strategy, you will want to investigate the various tax breaks that the federal government provides for higher education expenses.
Financing a Vocational or Technical Education
Despite society's push to provide a college education for children, still, college is not for everyone. About 80 percent of students ranking in the bottom quarter of their high school class will probably not get a bachelor's degree, or even a two-year associate's degree.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes, many students would be better off being directed to short-term vocational and career training. Of the 30 fastest-growing jobs in the United States in the next decade, only seven typically require a bachelor's degree. The remaining 23 include registered nurses, home health aides, store clerks and customer service representatives. Nobody wants to reduce expectations for high school students, or tell them that they cannot make it in a four-year college.
However, encouraging a student to truthfully evaluate their readiness for college—academically and financially—does make sense. If a student does start out at a community college, he can develop the tools to succeed and to believe in his capabilities without incurring a large student loan debt.
On 2/01/11, Professor Louis E. Lataif, dean emeritus of Boston University's School of Management wrote a commentary for Forbes.com on "Universities On the Brink" due to the escalating costs of a college education being unsustainable.
Dr. Lataif noted that the number of American students graduating from high school increased from 2.4 million in 1990 to 3.3 million in 2009. However, that number is not expected to grow further for the next 10 years. In fact, for the next several years, the number of high school graduates in the United States will drop. Therefore, Professor Lataif stated that this is not to deny the importance of a college education, but the new demographic exacerbates the student preparation problem for universities.
Professor Lataif noted that happily, free market capitalism abhors a vacuum, so the increasing cost of education has inevitably given rise to alternatives, including a new, for-profit college industry. There are today two million students enrolled in institutions like the University of Phoenix, Corinthian, Kaplan, and DeVry. There are reportedly 5.5 million students — or nearly 30 percent of all higher education students — enrolled in at least one online class.
Dr. Lataif concluded that in today's knowledge economy, if America does not make a rigorous, high-quality, affordable education available to more of its population, our quality of life will erode as will our place in the world. And the important, leading-edge academic research undertaken in America's top universities will not occur if the universities fail to develop a survivable business model.
It is the opinion of this writer that a sound and viable investment strategy for a child's college, technical and/or vocational training must begin sooner rather than later. The importance of investing in a child's personal growth and development through education cannot and should not be short-changed. It is a parent's responsibility to prepare their child for society. The greatest gift that a parent can give to their child is the ability to compete in a world with a quality education, and to ideally have little or no personal debt upon graduation.

What is the Biblical Definition of Unforgiveness?
Bible Summary. A simple definition of unforgiveness is "a grudge against someone who has offended you". Another definition of unforgiveness is not having the compassion to forgive. Unforgiveness is a sin that causes us to think and do evil things. See below for Biblical commentary and advice concerning the definition of unforgiveness.
Unforgiveness Definition: A Grudge Against Someone Who Has Offended You.
In the Bible, Esau had all the excuses in the world to hold a grudge against his brother. Jacob had offended him greatly by taking his father's blessing. Esau could not forgive nor have love for his brother.
See Scripture Commentary: Genesis 27:41 tells us how Esau held unforegiveness for his brother, Jacob.
Unforgiveness Definition: Not Having the Compassion to Forgive.
Another definition of unforgiveness is not having the compassion to forgive. If someone has offended us, we have a choice to either forgive them or not forgive them. Unforgiveness is when we choose not to have compassion for someone that has offended us, and we choose not to have the willingness to forgive them.
See Scripture Commentary: Matthew 18:33 advises us to have compassion for our fellowman as God has had mercy on us.
Unforgiveness Definition: A Resentful Attitude That Spews Out All Types of Evil.
No matter what or how a person offends us, it is our choice whether we forgive or do not forgive them. From a Biblical viewpoint, to forgive is good and to not forgive is bad. Unforgiveness is a sin that causes us to think and do evil things.
See Scripture Commentary: Ephesians 4:31 advises us to put away bitterness, wrath, anger, and malice that comes from unforgiveness.

Assad Prepares Offensive as Obama Promises Rebels Arms
Posted By steve_watson On June 15, 2013 @ 6:27 am In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled

President Barack Obama's decision to send some light weapons to Syrian rebels may be too little and too late to thwart a regime offensive to retake Aleppo, the nation's largest city and commercial capital.
Regime forces supported by fighters from the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah have moved north after defeating rebels in al-Qusair, a setback that triggered concern in Washington that Iran and its Lebanese ally are tipping the balance in favor of Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
"Arming the Syrian rebels is unlikely to tip the balance in their favor," said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Institution's Doha Center. "It might have made a difference a year ago, but, today, the Assad regime — particularly after re-taking Qusair — has the advantage."
Even some U.S. officials are worried that Obama's reluctant decision to provide limited amounts of small arms and ammunition to the Syrian opposition is enough to drag the U.S. into a third Mideast war but not enough to win it.

In New York City today, leaders of 150 countries are gathered for yet another meeting on globalization. Unlike all the other high-level meetings on the same theme, there won't be raucous crowds of environmentalists, workers and human-rights advocates outside, yelling about all the issues that have been bungled by the politicians inside. Why miss a perfectly protestable opportunity like this, in easily accessible, downtown New York?
Because the Millennium Summit isn't hosted by one of the many international agencies whose sole mission is to open up markets for free trade, while assuring a wary public that economic growth will magically eliminate poverty and save our ailing planet.
Oh Those Krazy Kops!

I wasn't thrilled that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service quoted my book in its new report on the anti-globalization "threat." In some of the circles in which I travel, writing for The Globe is enough of a political liability, never mind being a de facto CSIS informant. But there it is on Page 3: No Logo helping CSIS to understand why those crazy kids keep storming trade meetings.
Usually, I welcome any and all readers, but I have this sneaking suspicion that, a few months from now, this report is going to be used to justify smashing in the heads of some very good friends of mine.
In April, Quebec City will play host to the most significant free-trade summit since the World Trade Organization negotiations collapsed in Seattle last December. At the Summit of the Americas, 34 states will meet with the purpose of launching the Free Trade Area of the Americas—a version of the North American free-trade agreement for the entire hemisphere (except, of course, Cuba).
When Is a Moose Just a Moose?
By Naomi Klein - August 23rd, 2000
When Mayor Mel Lastman distributed 326 naked moose statues to artists around Toronto, he imagined himself as a modern Medici. Just as the Medici family kept Renaissance painters in oils and canvases, he would hand out white fibreglass moose and coupons for Benjamin Moore paint, then sit back and let the magic begin.
Mr. Lastman was certain that his beasts would become a vast blank canvas onto which our city's collective creativity, humour and ingenuity would be projected. This had allegedly happened in Chicago, where civic pride was boosted by a herd of painted plastic cows. Or so reported Mel's friend, George Cohon. And Mr. Cohon is an expert in transforming cityscapes with iconic plastic monuments—he brought the Golden Arches to Moscow, as senior chairman of McDonald's Canada.
Cries in the Streets of LA
By Naomi Klein - August 17th, 2000
Tonight is the finale for insiders and outsiders in Los Angeles this week: In a few hours, Al Gore will be giving his acceptance speech at the Staples Center. A few feet away, thousands of activists will hold a rally outside. Yet at the Community Convergence Center, a four-story warehouse on Seventh Street in the Pico-Union neighborhood, the mood is more melancholy last day of camp than first day of the revolution. In the rooms upstairs, activists are collapsed on their knapsacks, sleeping. Downstairs, pacing up the middle of the floor, is a cranky punk with a bullhorn: "Somebody took my black hoodie," she booms, referring to that indispensable anarchist accessory, the black hooded sweatshirt. "I want it back now." She pauses to shoot a death stare at a reporter from Channel 22.
Nearby, the antisweatshop banner-making sessions seem to be taking place in slow motion, and the mood isn't improved with the return of a handful of activists, back from a demonstration outside Citibank. "How was it?" asks Yuki Kidokoro, one of the LA organizers of the Direct Action Network.
"Lame," someone replies.
How I Threw Off the E-Tech Shackles - For, Like, Ten Seconds
By Naomi Klein - August 9th, 2000
Last week, I ended my month-long technology fast: no e-mail, no cellphone, no voice mail. Don't worry, I won't be smug. No extolling the virtues of face-to-face interaction over the vastly inferior, mediated one you're having right now. No sermons on the Zen-like rewards of the media cleanse (such as the ones we've become accustomed to hearing from those who have just had their colons irrigated).
Don't get me wrong: I'd love to make these self-satisfied assertions, but it wouldn't be right. First, I cheated. Second, it wasn't even my idea.
In June, on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver, the person in front of me decided to take a nap. Since we were both enjoying the decadent luxuries of Air Canada economy, his reclining chair instantly crunched my laptop monitor, felling the machine for good. The next day, barely recovered from the loss, I was politely asked to return the borrowed cellphone I had been abusing for, oh, about seven months.

on Thick-Tailed Distributions of Wealth
Lester D. Taylor
|[download paper] [research papers listings]
One of the best-known empirical regularities in economics is the 'Law of Pareto', according to which the upper tails of the distributions of income and wealth are described by the relationship, , for income and wealth levels (x) greater than some value x0 and ? < 2. However, despite its ubiquity across economies and time, the matter of why this 'law' holds remains an open question. Is there, as Mandelbrot has suggested, simply a base "prime mover" that gives rise to scalable distributions, not only for income and wealth, but also to a large number of other economic, social, and natural phenomena? If so, then the question of "why" is, by definition, not answerable. On the other hand, if thick upper tails can somehow emerge through processes that do not assume a Pareto prime mover, then the question is not only potentially answerable, but is also of a great deal of interest. Examining the possibility of this is the purpose of the present notes.
Three scenarios involving highly stylized, artificial economies (all of which can be given a Darwinian interpretation) are simulated under varying assumptions regarding heritability, distribution of talents, and stability of tastes. Simulations with the first two scenarios make it pretty clear that talent differentials and pure randomness of tastes cannot suffice to produce wealth distributions with sufficient thickness to be interesting. However, things change in the third scenario, in which there is an allowance for preference stability, in the sense that once an agent experiences a good, that good is consumed with a non-zero probability in subsequent periods (so long, of course, as the agent remains "alive"). What the results with the third scenario show is that, with strong preference stability and substantial productivity differences amongst agents, thick-tailed distributions of wealth can emerge that have certain Pareto features and are log-log translatable.

New Work: MUSE – Universal, Global, Local
Nestled in the foothills of the Dolomites, the small town of Trento, Italy, is home to MUSE, the new museum of science designed by Renzo Piano. Exhibiting archaeology, geology, geography and cosmology, MUSE is a living museum.
Pearce was inspired by a diagram in the book 'The Keepers of Genesis' that showed the relationship of the Giza plateau pyramids to the stars. From that diagram, Pearce saw the potential to create a logotype for MUSE that related it at once to the mountains that create the Trento valley in which it sits and to its place on earth in Northern Italy. The logotype was therefore able to represent the universal, global and local.
In form, the logo is folded in two to create the metaphor of the mountains and its valley. The MUSE logotype creates its own valley, and is orientated at a particular angle, taken from the building's apex. Images and typography float in the illusionary valley space.
The logotype, just like the museum, is the presenter of stories. Whether bold, quiet, childlike or mature, the chameleon-like identity can shift to accommodate a diversity of content and audience. The logo's colour changes to best fit its context. "The more I liberate logotypes, allowing them to breathe and change to fit different contexts, the more relevant and alive they feel" says Pearce.
The identity can be used in two separate ways: close-in and pulled back. When close-in, the logo offers a local view and narrates a specific story. When pulled back, the identity offers a wider perspective including earth and the solar system. Either can be used, depending on the nature of the narrative.
"With such a powerful architectural statement at the centre of this project it was hard not to be drawn into making the building the visual representation of MUSE. The idea for the identity had to be so much more, it had to be universal." says Pearce.
MUSE will be opening this summer.

The Crafted Keg and The Taco Shack are now open in downtown Stuart | Photos
The wait is over.
After numerous postponements, all the businesses at the renovated 555 Colorado Avenue building in downtown Stuart are open for business.
Both The Crafted Keg and The Taco Shack, originally scheduled to open months ago, finally opened their doors this week.
About 300 people came out to The Crafted Keg's grand opening Dec. 13. The two-story bar serves craft beers, wines, sodas and appetizers.
Owner Matthias Piasecki, a Stuart native said he anticipated a few glitches at the opening.
"We adjusted and fixed things on the fly," Piasecki said. "Everything went really well. We stayed open until 2 a.m."
Permit delays, staffing issues and a dissolved partnership contributed to the hold-up of the original October opening date.
Piasecki says his former business partner Chris Cordero has moved back to Atlanta and no longer has anything to do with the Crafted Keg.
"There was a difference of opinion on commitments that were made," Piasecki said. "And it didn't help that we were the last ones to sign a lease."
The bar's neighbor, The Taco Shack, originally scheduled to open in mid-November had its grand opening Dec. 17. The restaurant was full and owner Julie LaFrance-Lentine sold out of many menu items by 7 p.m.
The Taco Shack offers gourmet tacos with a twist of "mexitarian" — a mix of Mexican inspired and vegetarian friendly food.
Both The Taco Shack and The Crafted Keg can be found on Facebook.

Despite a few bounces and calls that didn't go their way, the Helper American Legion baseball squad picked up a 7-6 win in 10 innings over Cyprus at the state baseball tournament in Logan.
In a tense back and forth contest, Helper took an early 3-0 lead but Cyprus bounced back in the fifth inning scoring four big runs.
The Castle Country team regained the lead in the seventh, scoring three to go up 6-4. Playing for the state title, Cyprus would not go down easy, scoring one run in the seventh and another in the ninth to send the game into extra innings.
Knowing that they would need to beat Cyprus twice to claim the title, Helper wasted no time in the extra frame as Bryce Blackburn scored on a Derek Young chopper to the mound.
Dakota Cisneros pitched the bottom of the tenth and despite an error was able to hold on for the win.
As Cyprus was undefeated heading into tonight's game, Helper will now have to beat them again to claim the championship. Check back here for more about Helper's state title run.

(NEW YORK) -- Even before the San Francisco 49ers reported to training camp, they were dealing with an injury to one of their best players as wide receiver Michael Crabtree tore his right Achilles tendon during the offseason. His head coach, Jim Harbaugh, says Crabtree is recovering nicely.
"I wouldn't categorize it as 'ahead of schedule' because he is just starting to move on it," Harbaugh said of Crabtree's recovery on Monday. "It's just been healing but it looks great. That's from the words of the doctors, so again, optimistic there."
During a practice on May 21, Crabtree suffered the injury and is in the process of rehabbing and working his way back on the field.
Crabtree is the 49ers primary receiving threat on offense, and his absense could have a severe effect on the team's ability to put points on the board. Crabtree's fourth NFL season was his best of his pro career. In 2013, he caught 85 passes for 1,105 yards while catching nine touchdowns.
During the offseason, the team traded for wide receiver Anquan Boldin, and hope that last year's first round pick, A.J. Jenkins, will emerge as the team's number two receiver.
"I really feel like they're making progress," Harbaugh responded when asked about the other wide receivers aside from Boldin. "I feel good about where that stands right now."

In yet another misguided attempt at 'removing' things from the internet, Max Mosley, the former F1 boss, is now suing Google in France and in Germany for not doing enough to remove from its search results websites which featured an alleged compromising video of the man.
The issue stems from a scandal involving the former Formula 1 boss when the defunct British tabloid News of the World revealed a video allegedly showing him in a "Nazi-themed" orgy.
The tabloid has since been brought down by a huge phone hacking scandal, but the video and allegations spread online.
Ever since, Mosley has been fighting to get the video pulled down from any site that would host it. So far, he says, he's spent £500,000, $776,000 on legal fees fighting the websites.
But that is a losing battle he believes, it would be so much easier if Google would simply nuke the sites from its search results.
"If somebody were to stop the search engines producing the material, the actual sites don't really matter, because without a search engine nobody's going to find it," he said earlier today.
Which is true, obviously. And it's exactly why Google doesn't remove results at the whim of one person or another.
It's hardly the first time Google has been sued in order to force to remove results that people have deemed as libelous or damaging to their public image.
Unfortunately, though the matter should be "open and shut" Google has lost several of these lawsuits. It remains to be seen whether courts in Germany and France believe a man's privacy is more important that the freedom of information.
"The fundamental thing is that Google could stop this appearing but they don't or won't as a matter of principle," Mosley also said. "The really dangerous things are the search engines."
The "dangerous" Google responded with a typical statement, it does not remove results on demand and it does not control what others put online. But it will comply with court orders.
"We don't, and can't, control what others post online, but when we're told that a specific page is illegal under a court order, then we move quickly to remove it from our search results," Google said.

A suspected drunken driver was taken into custody after Seminole County deputies say he nearly hit two cars while fleeing from officers.
Deputies tried to pull Ricardo Wilson over after they say he ran several red lights on State Road 46 in Sanford early Monday morning. According to deputies, Wilson refused to stop and fled at a high rate of speed.
At one point, officers say he almost hit two cars during the pursuit on State Road 417.
Helicopter video captured the seconds after deputies deployed Stop Sticks, sending sparks flying from Wilson's car.
Deputies say they eventually arrested Wilson after he stopped on an exit ramp on S.R. 417 at Red Bug Lake Road.
Wilson was taken into custody and faces charges of fleeing and eluding, driving with a suspended license, resisting arrest, reckless driving and driving under the influence.

New Zealand protests to keep "The Hobbit"
OCTOBER 25: Hobbit film supporters rally together at The Village Green on October 25, 2010 in Queenstown, New Zealand. Stakeholders of the film marched through Wellington to protest over the Hobbit films being filmed outside of New Zealand after an international union boycot by local actors demanding collective contracts. The New Zealand Actors Equity has been in negotiations with Warner Brothers as fears grow over future films being shot away from New Zealand, despite the Union do-not-work advice being dropped.
STEVE CHIOTAKIS: Thousands of New Zealanders have taken to the streets to demand that a couple of films in the "Hobbit" franchise continue filming in New Zealand. Peter Jackson's trilogy -- "Lord of the Rings" -- means a lot to the New Zealand economy there, to the tune of as much as $1.5 billion. But now union demands have film execs threatening to make the sequel someplace else.
The BBC's Rebecca Singer reports.
REBECCA SINGER: Some protesters turned up as characters from "Lord of the Rings." Others carried placards reading "New Zealand is Middle Earth" and "We Love Hobbits". They came to demand production of the new Hobbit films remain in their country. The New Zealand movie industry is worth more than $2 billion a year and there are fears it could be severely damaged. A statement from the film's director Sir Peter Jackson was read out to the crowd.
STATEMENT: New Zealand is where "The Hobbit" films should be made. The creative DNA is here. This is where Middle Earth was born, and this is where it should stay.
The protests coincide with the arrival of Warner Brothers executives, who have flown to the country for talks on Tuesday to determine the fate of the films. Even though the union has canceled a strike, the studio says it's still considering other location, like the U.K.
Neither the studio nor the government are disclose what it will take to ensure the production stays in New Zealand. Filming, wherever it is, is set to start in February.
In London, I'm the BBC's Rebecca Singer for Marketplace.

Thanks! That picture (of my avatar) was taken moments after I married my husband! I love the picture because I'm so happy, and it shows.
Actually, here's a funny story.... I use that same picture on a forum for artists, and one of the artists there emailed me and said they wanted to do a painting of that picture, because they liked it so much! They actually did do the painting, and sent me a picture of it--I love it. Maybe I'll post it to my blog-thread later today if I have time!
We have a "Blog Thread" forum on this forum, where people can start a thread that is their own simple blog. I have one
. No pictures of knitting yet, since I just started it!
Hey, if you wanted to, you could just run your blog through an online translater (like
this one
), and have a computer-translated-to-English blog. It's not a perfect translater, of course, but it's workable.

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."

Re: Your Top Five DS9 Supporting Characters
I totally see what you're saying. Maybe I just have a soft spot for Vic because he reminds me of my favorite teacher in high school.
"It's Only a Paper Moon" is one of my favorite episodes. Just one of the many instances where great writing and acting made all the difference between a lame holodeck episode and a true classic. Aron Eisenberg outdid himself in that episode. Nog's breakdown at the end still makes me all emotional and ridiculous.

Step 1Learn about what we fund
Step 2Understand guideline and funding cycles
Step 3Submit a letter of inquiry
Understand guideline and funding cycles
MacArthur publishes program guidelines to help applicants determine whether their idea for a grant fits within a particular grantmaking strategy.
As a general rule, applicants should base this decision on three related criteria that appear in program guidelines: the topical focus addressed by the grantmaking strategy; the geographic area covered by the grantmaking strategy; and, finally, the type of funding (i.e., general operating support, research, program support, etc.) that supports the grantmaking strategy.
Like most strategic grantmaking foundations, the MacArthur Foundation considers funding only those applications that closely match the topical, geographic, and funding criteria for a specific grantmaking strategy.
MacArthur's goals in the area of international peace and security grantmaking are to prevent nuclear terrorism and strengthen stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
What MacArthur Funds
Nuclear Security
Policy Research
Supported policy research projects aim to prevent the theft or diversion of fissile materials from military and civilian sites, ensure that the inevitable growth in nuclear power does not increase the availability of fissile materials for terrorist groups, and end reliance on weapon-usable material.
In addition, we support a limited number of innovative projects that: 1) seek to effectively address, in a stabilizing manner, the strategic implications of deeper reductions in nuclear arsenals; and, 2) provide new insights and approaches to security challenges arising from national efforts to acquire nuclear weapons (e.g. Iran and North Korea).
MacArthur is not considering unsolicited letters of inquiry at this time.
Advanced Education
MacArthur does not consider unsolicited proposals in the area of Advanced Education in Nuclear Security.
Questions about this grantmaking area can be addressed to Director Emma Belcher.
Asia Security Initiative
Policy Research
MacArthur ended the Asia Security Initiative in December, 2014.
The Foundation is proud of the increased communication and dialogue its Asia Security Initiative has sparked between policy experts, and encouraged to see the work of its grantees being used to inform decision-making by policymakers. The Foundation always intended for the initiative, which began in 2009, to be a time-limited investment with the goal of promoting stability and greater security in Asia. Grantmaking under the initiative ended in 2014, and no new grant proposals will be solicited or accepted. The Foundation, however, will continue to make grants related to Asia under its continuing programs, including Conservation and Sustainable Development, Nuclear Security, Girls Secondary Education, and more.
All grants that are still in force under the Asia Security Initiative will continue to receive support from MacArthur staff. Questions about the Asia Security Initiative can be addressed to Program Officer Dr. John Fei.
Updated December 2014

Our knitters group continues to meet the first and third Monday mornings of every month at 10:00, and they always welcome new members.

(Of course, I'd have to run out and buy some knitting needles first…) They meet again this coming Monday, the 20th.

The origin of Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain which took place on the night of October 31st. Celts believed that on that night the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. To commemorate the event, they built huge bonfires, where people gathered and wore costumes, typically of animal heads and skins, and told fortunes.
Later under Romans rule, Roman festivals were combined with traditional Celtic celebrations. Again, celebrations were combined under the influence of Christianity. The church designated November 1st All Saints' Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs and November 2nd All Souls' Day, a day to honor the dead. All Souls' Day was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the celebrations were called Hallowmas.
As European immigrants came to America, they brought their varied Halloween customs with them. However celebration of Halloween in colonial times was extremely limited.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with a new wave of immigrants. They helped to popularize the celebration of Halloween nationally. Americans began to dress up in costumes and go house to house asking for food or money, a practice that eventually became today's "trick-or-treat". Trick-or-treating probably dates back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England. During the festivities, poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called "soul cakes" in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for roaming spirits. The practice, which was referred to as "going a-souling" was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given ale, food, and money.
At the turn of the century, Halloween parties for both children and adults became the most common way to celebrate the day. By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular holiday, with parades and town-wide parties. By the 1950s Trick-or-treating was a major part of the holiday.
Today Halloween is now the second largest commercial Holiday in the united States with Americans spending a near $6.9 million annually on the holiday!

Ruling Gives Unions Leverage In Negotiations With Franchises By editor • Aug 28, 2015 A ruling yesterday from the National Labor Relations Board gave contract workers and employees of franchises a lot more leverage to unionize. The NLRB's decision gives those employees the right to negotiate a union contract not only with a franchise owner, but also with the larger parent company. It has implications in the fast food industry, which is locked in a national debate about worker pay and benefits. Michael Regan of Bloomberg News discusses this with Here & Now's Robin Young. Chinese Action Musical Comes To Denver By editor • Aug 27, 2015 A new Chinese action musical is holding its U.S. premiere on a stage in Denver.

New Hampshire Rape Trial Exposes Alleged 'Hook-Up' Tradition By editor • Aug 27, 2015 A former student at St. Paul's School, an elite New Hampshire prep school, is on trial for allegedly raping a freshman girl two days before graduation in 2014.

Paige Sutherland from Here & Now contributor New Hampshire Public Radio reports. Sheriff: Virginia Suspect Dead From Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound By editor • Aug 26, 2015 Update 2:23 p.m.: Franklin County Sheriff Bill Overton says the suspect in the shooting has died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Wednesday that the suspect is being treated for life-threatening injuries. On TV, Katrina Has Gone Mostly Unseen By editor • Aug 26, 2015 TV journalism was crucial to the country seeing what was and wasn't being done to help the survivors of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Since then, however, there has not been a focus – in either fictionalized television or in journalism – on the underlying issues that were uncovered. NPR TV critic Eric Deggans joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to discuss why issues like poverty and class are generally unattractive to many TV audiences. Mount Everest Reopened To Climbers By editor • Aug 26, 2015 Japanese mountaineer Nobukazu Kuriki is heading up Everest.

Accusations Of Racism After Book Club Is Kicked Off Train By editor • Aug 25, 2015 The Napa Valley Wine Train is facing backlash, after members of women's book club said they were kicked off the train over the weekend because of their race. All but one of the 11 book club members kicked off the train was African-American. The train company says the group was being too noisy. Danielle Belton of The Root discusses the story with Here & Now's Robin Young. An American Music Playlist From The Strokes' Guitarist By editor • Aug 24, 2015 What makes American music "American"?

CDC Study Says School Starts Too Early For Teens By editor • Aug 24, 2015 A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that most U.S. middle and high schools start the school day too early, before 8:30 a.m. Lead author Dr. Anne Wheaton says if teens don't get enough sleep, they are more prone to not getting enough exercise and engaging in risky behavior like drinking alcohol.

Barnett of WCPN brings us the story of Devo's Rust Belt roots. As Nation Remembers Katrina, Mississippi Gulf Feels Forgotten By editor • Aug 21, 2015 As the nation approaches the 10-year anniversary of the destruction from Hurricane Katrina, it's worth remembering that while New Orleans felt the eye of the storm, Katrina also left 238 people dead in Mississippi, and destroyed 230,000 homes in that state. How did the Mississippi Gulf Coast recover after such devastation, and what lingering issues still remain? Evelina Burnett of Mississippi Public Broadcasting discusses this with Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd. Residency Programs For Nurse Practitioners Becoming More Common By editor • Aug 21, 2015 Faced with a shortage of primary care doctors, more and more clinics are relying on nurse practitioners to fill the gap.

By editor • Aug 20, 2015 The debate rages on: Is breakfast the most important meal of your day, or can you skip it without dire consequences?

Des Moines Makes The List By editor • Aug 20, 2015 It seems like every time you log onto Facebook someone has shared a link to one of those lists that rank cities in categories. "The 10 Happiest Cities for Young Professionals" or "America's Best Cities for Barbecue." Why are these lists so popular? And more importantly, what's their impact? Iowa Public Radio's Sarah Boden went in search of answers. Office 'Darwinism': Will Your Company Follow Amazon's Lead? By editor • Aug 19, 2015 The recent New York Times article on the work environment at Amazon has put a spotlight on the culture of the competitive workplace and the increasing difficulty of attaining a satisfying work-life balance.

DJ Session: From New Zealand Country To The Poetic Musings Of The Netherlands By editor • Aug 19, 2015 KCRW DJ Chris Douridas joins Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson to share some new summer music. There's a bit of country and bluegrass with Pokey LaFarge and the Kiwi singer Marlon Williams. There are also some deep electro tracks with Maximum Balloon and the Flemish group Waar is Ken?

By editor • Aug 19, 2015 Security experts are telling multiple news outlets today that the leaked names of Ashley Madison customers appear to be real.

A Cardboard Canoe Regatta For Girls In Science By editor • Aug 18, 2015 You might wonder how cardboard boxes, duct tape and a swimming pool can solve a problem that has stumped researchers for years. That problem is how to get more women working in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM for short. Some think the answer lies in giving girls hands-on projects that spark their curiosity and prepare them for not only advanced science courses in school, but also a STEM career. That's where the tape, cardboard and pool come in. Canadian Election Campaign Is In Full Swing By editor • Aug 18, 2015 The candidates in this fall's election in Canada are running hard as the vote approaches in October. Prime Minister Stephen Harper leads the Conservative Party, but he has been hurt by a Canadian economy suffering from low global commodity prices.

[Youtube] Medicare Gives End-Of-Life Counseling The Go-Ahead By editor • Aug 18, 2015 Remember the "death panels"? That's what Sarah Palin called them when the Affordable Care Act first proposed paying doctors for end-of-life counseling with patients. The uproar killed that plan, but recently Medicare announced that beginning next year, it will pay doctors to have these discussions. Ruby de Luna from Here & Now contributor KUOW reports. White House Allocates More Money To Fight Heroin Epidemic By editor • Aug 17, 2015 The Obama administration today directed $13.4 million to regional drug control agencies known as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA), including $2.5 million for what the White House is calling "an unprecedented partnership" between five regional HIDTA programs in the Northeast. That smaller pot of money would be used to hire new police officers, as well as public health officials who would work together across state lines to identify targets and see where heroin is coming from. Was Margaret Sanger Out To 'Control' The Black Population? By editor • Aug 17, 2015 Correction: The audio above inaccurately describes the accusations against Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood's critics say the video shows staff discussing the sale of fetal tissue, but Planned Parenthood says the tissue has been donated, not sold, and that only the organization's costs have been covered. We regret the error. Pages« first ‹ previous … 3 4 5 6 … next › last »

Pa, daughter hurt in hacking-A A +A
Monday, July 21, 2014
A 50-year-old man and his 15-year-old daughter were hacked by their relative in Barili, Cebu last Sunday afternoon.
Ceriaco Labora, 49, allegedly got angry at his brother-in-law, Melchor Fat, after the latter asked him to open the windows of their house.
Labora got a bolo and hacked Fat, who managed to parry the attack. He was wounded in his left arm.
Fat's daughter, who tried to stop her uncle, suffered injury in her left thigh.
SPO2 Marcelo Quevedo, of Barili Police Station, said the victims were taken to Barili District Hospital for treatment.
Quevedo said they are still waiting for the medical results so they can prepare charges against Labora.
Barili Police arrested Labora and detained him at the station.
In Barangay Pasil, Cebu City, at 1 p.m. last Sunday, an alleged gun-for-hire was shot by his friend on Forbes Bridge, Tupas St.
According to the police's initial investigation, Alfredo Bacalla, 30, a resident of M. de la Concepcion, Barangay Pasil, Cebu City was shot by a man identified only as Nicole, from Balagtas St.
SPO1 Ruth Bongo-Violango of the Cebu City Police Office-Homicide Section said personal grudge could be the motive of the attack.
Bacalla said he saw Nicole on the bridge shooting at him several times and wounding him in his lips.
Police said the victim had been jailed for murder and illegal possession of firearms this year. But the case was dismissed after the complainant didn't file a case against him.
Bongo-Violango also said Bacalla and Nicole were blamed for a number of shootings. Nheru Veraflor/John Cavin Sabonsolin, USJ-R Mass Com Interns

So Many Points, So Little Time, plus Shows Closing October 31, 2012
Dan Sayers
Editor in Chief
As I compile this week's numbers, I had what we call in the military, a BGO (Blinding Glimpse of the Obvious). Apart from our top two dogs, there are only a few opportunities left this year for our top dogs to improve their current position in the standings. more
It seems that many dog clubs today, just like many citizens, businesses and local, state and federal governments, face financial concerns. Everyone is trying to economize and cut operations down to the bare essentials to compensate for budget shortfalls. Looking at a couple of premium lists for shows that close on October 31, I realized anew that one of the best ways to help alleviate financial concerns is for clubs to work together. more

Right To Health, Inc. was created to address an unacceptable disparity in healthcare and outcomes in the minority, underinsured and uninsured communities.
We know that these populations are over-represented in mortality (death), morbidity (sickness) and in frightening care needed in emergency rooms around the country. We seek to address not only the disparity in healthcare, but in researching compliance (ability to change and improve behaviors) in these communities. A mobile health unit will test for early signs of heart disease BEFORE symptoms like pain arise and BEFORE a person has to come to emergency care, costing millions of dollars in treatment and much more in human terms. We will educate, empower and retest participants, helping them regain their Right To Health.
Will minorities comply with health advice?
Minority health advocates confront a unique dilemma in delivering service to special populations: The practice of medicine requires cooperation between the advisor (or doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, midwife) and the patient, whose job it is to do what their advisor or clinician advises and see if it works toward their goal. If the patient doesn't comply, then the riddle of the disease isn't solved. When a practitioner says, "You need to change your diet and/or lifestyle" and the patient feels that the only thing they CAN control or choose for themselves, especially in a world that seems so out of control, they may intend to but just not find a way. When you add problems with transportation and access to the fact that some healthy foods are more expensive than cheaper, often fast food, it can seem like a mountain to climb. Particularly for Blacks, fatty, fried, salty or sugary foods may be a large part of the traditions we want to cling to - the only connections to childhood and/or family memories or comforting thoughts from our past, or simply habits we've formed over the years.
At Right To Health, we believe that when folks take control of their health-related choices, they begin to take back control of other parts of their lives. For instance, did you know that at most warehouse-type groceries, you can get a bag of mixed beans ready for soaking/cooking for about .60-.75 cents/pound? That is really inexpensive when you consider that it contains a lot of fiber, which helps reduce cholesterol and help with digestive health, protein that helps to create the sensation of fullness and may reduce over-eating and to varying degrees iron, a vital trace mineral in blood cell development and management.
If you are stuggling with balance between intention and action, send us a message or post it here! This is a HUGE problem in our culture, especially in minority and underserved communities. But we are all living in a world where temptation and instant gratification is everywhere and self-discipline less valued at least on the surface. Not for nothing, tough economic times and a rapidly changing world also create an environment that may drive us to make short-term decisions that feel good in the moment. The problem is that a series of those kinds of decisions usually leads to a problem with overweight, addiction or simply poor outcomes.
What are the main barriers to behavior change? Send a message and let us know what you find most difficult about complying with medical or elder advisors even when you may know that they are acting in your best interest when they recommend them. Tell us what we can do to make those changes easier or at least more tolerable. If you've had trouble and made the changes anyway, please share what's worked for you! Someone else may see your problem and have suggestions or benefit from your wisdom!!

Here's how RW members rated this race (925 votes).
Date of review: February 10, 2011
In short: Challenging course, very well organisedIn full: Good course heading out of watford and into the countryside. Some tough hills but nothing really nasty. Cannot fault the organisation & supportive marshallsDate of review: February 10, 2011
In short: Excellent, well organised, 3 water stations goodDate of review: February 9, 2011
Date of review: February 9, 2011
In short: RecommendedIn full: Please will you disqualify runners who flout the rules and insist on stuffing their ears with earphones. It's dangerous on open roads, you cut up other runners, can't hear marshals and miss out on race atmosphere. If you don't like the rules, don't blinkin' enter the race!That aside, this was as impeccably organised as ever by the Harriers. More than enough water stations (2 is plenty for a half), loads of marshals, mile markers bang on, the marquee handled very well and a challenging route with some decent scenery. A little congestion over the finish line but that's easily smoothed out. There are a few hills, including the last shallow grind up to the park, but the downs more than compensate. Date of review: February 9, 2011
In short: Would do again Date of review: February 8, 2011
In short: This was my first half marathon and i enjoyed it immensely. The pace makers were very useful and encouraging. There was a big crowd, great scenery and a lively atmosphere.Date of review: February 8, 2011
In short: scenic, hilly, In full: Every year the event is brilliant. Goody bag is always rubbish but I have learnt to accept that and I always return for more!Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Great race to start new yearIn full: Done this race about five times now so used to the hills. Organization is like clockwork with friendly marshals and good crowd at the finish. Would always recommend this half to anyone. Only gripe is the t-shirt at the end, change it for one that you can run in and more then happy to pay extra few quid for it. Alternatively swap for a medalDate of review: February 7, 2011
In short: did not realise watford was so hilly!!!In full: wow this was a a tough race, part of my training plan for the marathon and did not really anticpate the hills being so evil.Good organisation and marshalls were really helpful amd encouraging. dissapointed with goody bag, would really like a medal after those hills!!If i did this again would concentrate on hill training all in all glad to have done it...some of the scenery around the course was lovely..

When news broke Wednesday night that Olivier Theyskens had been tapped to design a capsule collection for Theory, the first word out of almost everybody's mouth was, "Why?" Theory is known for their no-nonsense approach to fashion and median-priced office staples, while Theyskens is known for his vampy, often Victorian, and beautiful red carpet aesthetic, but also for, as Jezebel's Jenna Sauers put it, "his inability or unwillingness to design anything less than astronomically expensive clothes."
Though Fashionista postulated that the Theory-Theyskens collaboration was the brainchild of Theory CEO Andrew Rosen, who is known for "taking an interest in–and investing in–promising designers," both partners had remained mum, until now. Blogger Susie Bubble attended a bookstore signing for Theyskens' and Julien Claessens new tome, "The Other Side of the Picture" and had the chance to speak to the designer about his new plans. Naturally, Bubble asked him, "Why Theory?"
For a long time, I've been looking for a way of working with affordable fashion. I think Theory is the right brand to do this. It was a big intuition for me to do this Theyskens/Theory project – I'm super excited by it! I think today, you can find great things at a great price. As a designer, I'm not a guy that can be put in a niche. I'm a guy who can also put his mind to something more global and accessible. Also, I've always been hoping that my friends can buy what I design.
Well, we've also always been hoping that Theyskens would design something we could buy, so that's nice — but we do find it hard to believe that Theyskens' interest in going mass-market was the driving force. Just a few weeks ago, Theory announced they'd hired a Director of Communications and Celebrity which sounds like it entails getting celebs to wear the clothes, so Theyskens' red-carpet know-how could come in very handy. And in light of Theyskens' — for lack of a better word — joblessness and Rosen's past patronage, we think it's safe to say that Theory made this partnership happen.
But when all is said and done, "Theyskens for Theory" certainly has a very nice ring to it.
