Build the World's most expensive bike 2: We have a winner!
We have a winning build and enough alternatives to put together something really rather expensive
Previous News
Cast your mind back a couple of weeks to our competion to turn the world's most expensive frameset*, the new Litespeed Blade, into the world's most expensive bike** - we've been away at various trade shows looking at slightly less expensive machines but now we're back and we've got a winner.
Stu Field takes the gong, and the road.cc jersey (plus possibly some other stuff too) for coming up with a bike build that added up to £25,317. We had some runners up too or as Lance Armstrong would no doubt have it if he was judging this: first, second, and third losers… actually their builds ran Stu very close. When we looked at the build lists, if you pull the best bits of each together an even more expensive build than Stu's would be possible.
We've attached Stu's build list*** and ones from Schmiken and Worldofbikes. Schmiken was the first to smash the £20k barrier and Stefan at worldofbikes got to £21,000 using only off the shelf products.
Rules of the compo were that the build had to work, (all the bits needed to be compatibile) and it had to work as a time trial or triathlon mount – there is some very fancy ultra-lightweight kit out there (and on some of these builds) but if you were using it on your Blade it had to be applicable to a time trial build.
Some components cropped up again and again in the builds we saw everyone agreeing that if you are going to build yourself a super-expensive bike you would probably need one of the following:
A Lightweight rear mech – a trifle at £799 from Wiggle
AX Lighness Orion Brake callipers – a piffling £680 from Poshbikes
SRM Ergometer - also courtesy of Poshbikes (some people, well me, also went for a built in PowerMETER in the rear wheel – hey, you can never have too much back up when it comes to performance measurment).
Zipp Vuka aero bars featured in a number of builds – including Stu's – again, what price aero excellence at a mere £600 and they come with a satisfyingly expensive list of add-ons including elbow pads at £20 and shifters at £200
3T Ventus 'bars were also popular, scout around and you could have a pair for £600, but that would have been a schoolboy error because these integrated babies come with brake levers and a stem
Stu matched his Vuka's up to a Zipp carbon stem – a steal at £300 from Wiggle. Nice
Where our winner really scored was on the wheels he went for a set of Lew Racing's Custom Pro VT1s with full ceramic bearings in the US they'll set you back $15,534 – which at our compo exchange rate of £1.42 turns into £10,939.44 – which does sound a lot less. Oh, and Stu also found the most expensive tyres too, the Continental Olympic Tubulars at £125 a pop… if that isn't a rather tasteless pun when talking about such pricey rubbber. And he backed up his pick with evidence that even though these are track tubulars they are used by some pros on the road – not necessarily ones that win time trials though.
So what else could be used to get the price even higher? Well Chuffy pointed towards the Oval A9111 Jetstream Aero Bar for £2,608.68 at Peta Cycles (£2,399 at Winstanley's – but still reassuringly expensive nonetheless). Stu also came in with a late suggestion to push the price up still further – the splendid Brookes Swallow Limited Edition at £528 (only 999 of 'em – wonder how many cows that adds up to… but I digress). Not sure how aero that is, also not sure that they haven't already sold all 999. On the other hand more aero, and more expensive than the AX – Lightness Phoenix Custom saddle (a paltry £300) is the Selle SMP Carbon – list is £450 on this baby, it's available in lots of different colours… and it's good for your prostate. Result.
So what about getting it built up? Well the team at Paligap are all out launching Litespeed's new affordable titanium frameset, the Xicon (more on that later) but we're not going to let this one lie, although Stu – we wouldn't count on them letting you ride it in your first evening 10 of the season. We'll ask mind…
* not dipped in gold and encrcusted with Svarowski elements or whatever
** also not dipped in gold and encrusted in etc etc
*** Stu's list is more of a website in it's own right than a list (not why he won btw) some people obviously have waaay too much time on their hands. Pie charts???!!!

Classrooms are becoming high-tech, and teachers are incorporating digital devices & applications into daily curriculum. But how does this affect children's vision? The American Optometric Association shares new guidelines for parents and teachers.
According to the American Optometric Association almost half of Americans say that eyesight is the sense they worry most about losing. Age plays a major factor when caring for our eyes and depending on how old you are, there are steps you can take to preserve your vision.
Bill Nye the Science Guy and Dr. Mike Earley with the American Optometric Association help parents and teachers understand the importance of comprehensive eye exams and the risks that vision impairments can pose to a child's health and education.

While the overall cut to Medicare is a relatively small percentage cut, just 2%, the double-digit dollar figure will put hospitals in a tough spot.
"Hospitals will have to make tough choices about which services to maintain because of potential cuts since hospitals will maintain the highest quality for whatever services they provide," says Marie Watteau of the American Hospital Association.
The AHA already knew a 2% cut to Medicare would heavily impact hospitals. It, along with the AMA and ANA issued its own report, also last week, stating 766,000 healthcare and related jobs would disappear by 2021 if the sequester went into effect.
In a state-by-state comparison, California is shown to be hit the hardest with more than 50,000 job losses forecast for next year alone. The California Hospital Association says the Medicare sequester adds pressure to an already tense budget environment.

Welcome to Our Universe
Photo illustration by JOSON IMAGES
Whenever we gaze at the sky, especially on a dark, clear, moonless night far from city lights, we never fail to be captivated by the ethereal beauty and majesty of our star-studded firmament. It is this beauty that had mesmerized ancient skywatchers and made them yearn to unravel the secrets of the Universe. And it is this same beauty that practically anyone can access and enjoy from the comfort of one's backyard.
Our passion for astronomy and stargazing has now spanned more than three decades. During that time, we have enjoyed countless views through our telescopes — from the desolate, pockmarked surface of the Moon to the glorious orbs of the major planets. We have also marveled at the faint, gossamer tendrils of nebulae and the pale, ghostly glows of galaxies millions of light-years away.
These sessions at the eyepiece have made us realize one very important lesson -- how fragile and unique Earth is. There is so much to explore and understand about this lonely celestial oasis we call home -- from the mind-boggling diversity and adaptability of terrestrial life forms, to the dynamic processes that drive our planet's geology and climate.
Photos by Imelda Joson and Edwin Aguirre
We are so grateful for realizing this lesson early on, for because of this realization, we have become more mindful and appreciative of our environment and of life itself.
We have now become more of a naturalist, observing not only the night sky but also our surroundings. This fondness to observe, coupled with our curiosity to understand and to find explanations for the various phenomena we see in Nature, has made us acutely aware of the effects and consequences of our actions.
Through this website, we would like to share with you the awe-inspiring beauty and wonder of planet Earth and the worlds beyond, as seen through the optics of our cameras and telescopes. Join us in our journeys to the far corners of the globe, from chasing the Moon's shadow as it sweeps across our planet during total solar eclipses, to exploring the magnificent temples and monuments of long-lost civilizations.
We live in such a wonderful planet, with such a wonderful history and in such a wonderful time. We are the writers of our own life story. Each day we live is like a page in our book of life. How colorful and vivid we would like it to be depends solely upon us. So let us make the most of our finite time on this planet. Let us make each moment count and help make a difference in this world.

Workshops provided for young people
"The goal of the urban expression workshop is to promote a little more independent thought outside what you might get in school and family life." Raul Lopez
More than 100 young people from throughout the county gathered Saturday in Oxnard's RiverPark neighborhood to explore everything from finance to art at the inaugural Cabrillo Economic Development Corp. Youth Exchange.
Although the nonprofit corporation mainly provides housing for people lacking opportunity, the Youth Exchange was a testament to its commitment to "people development," said Rodney Fernandez, the organization's executive director.
"As important as the housing side is, the people side is more important," he said. "It makes a lot of sense to go beyond that; it's not about being insular; it's about community and helping people to improve themselves and improve their community."
To that end, the organizers, with the help of other community groups, offered workshops Saturday on a variety of subjects from financial planning and career guidance to theater performance and "urban expression," which included music, poetry and art.
"The goal of the urban expression workshop is to promote a little more independent thought outside what you might get in school and family life," said workshop leader Raul Lopez, Cabrillo's outreach assistant. "We hope to provide an outlet for how they feel, and maybe out of that they'll find what they want to do with their lives."
Workshop participant Jose Cordova, 15, of Santa Paula knows he wants art to be part of his professional life down the road.
On Saturday, he was busy incorporating his artwork into a mural of squares with each participant's representation of something meaningful to them. Jose drew a tree, for inspiration.
"It represents life," he said. "Even though you might get cut down sometimes, you keep growing and growing."
He said drawing allows him to express his feelings in a healthy way. When he's upset, he draws bombs, nuclear weapons or even dark alleys. In better moods, he sketches landscapes, ocean scenes and cityscapes.
The Youth Exchange was the result of 18 months of meetings with more than 200 community members about what was needed in the county. The needs identified included more violence prevention, pride in people's heritage and potential for youth success, said Silvia Rodriguez, Cabrillo's director of community building and revitalization.
"This event is all about violence prevention and trying to help youth develop leadership skills and learn to be the ones who make a difference," she said.
Rodriguez said one of the workshops, for example, had participants study the differences between those who went to college and those who didn't.
They explored not only their dreams but also how to achieve them.

Carbonite is my sixth company since getting out of college in 1969. I am frequently asked to talk about the lessons I've learned that have lead to a string of successful businesses. Since this week marks Global Entrepreneurship Week, it seems a good time to share my top-10 list, and over the coming weeks, I'll elaborate on some of these points.
Dave's 10 rules for Entrepreneurs
I'm going to start with the last point, "Enjoy the Moment," because Carbonite recently went public – an achievement reached by only a tiny percentage of startups. If ever there was a moment to enjoy, this would sure rank up there. I got to ring the opening bell at the NASDAQ exchange, go outside into Times Square and see myself and the Carbonite logo on the 60-foot-high jumbotron, and watch the ticker as the first public shares of Carbonite were traded.
Here's the challenge: We still have a company to run. We still have competitors chasing after us. We still have schedules to hit, milestones to achieve, engineering projects to complete on time, data centers to keep running, and on and on. An IPO doesn't change any of that. Since doing all those things well is what got us to the point of an IPO in the first place, it's pretty hard to stop worrying about them for even a minute.
But life is short. Even though an IPO is just a waypoint on the journey, I have to remember that there are 300 other employees here for whom this is a proud moment. So I did take a breath, and thought about the fact that just a few years ago Carbonite was just an idea we were tossing around on a warm summer day. The curse of being an entrepreneur is that the challenges never let up, but if you can't stop and enjoy the successes along the way, you're going to turn into a grouchy old scrooge. Who would want to work for someone who never seems to get enjoyment out of his work and achievements? So my advice is: stop to savor the moment. It will recharge your batteries for the next round of challenges and it will make you more fun to be around.
- Dave Friend, Carbonite Chairman & CEO

Memes Of Jared Leto Hugging Everything Will Make Your Day!

Need a hug? Jared Leto has got plenty!
Last week, the 30 Seconds to Mars singer and Academy Award winning actor posted a photo on Instagram that showed him embracing nature like a "tree huggin hippy."
Of course, the internet soon got a hold of the pic and with a little bit of clever Photoshopping, turned it into the funniest meme we've seen in a while!
Check out a few of our favorite #HuggyJ pics:
But it seems as though the multi-talented star enjoyed the "Jared Leto Hugging Everything" meme the most, as he reposted it on his Instagram last night, writing, " Bwwwwaaaahaaaahaaaaaaaaaa! #huggyJ"
Happy Friday, everyone!

MANKATO -- Adrian Peterson said it's been a "rollercoaster" offseason, with constant rehab of his knee and an off-field incident at a Houston nightclub.
But as he drove up the Stadium Road hill toward Gage Hall, he started to feel the excitement of a new season.
"I've been working hard," he said. "I'm excited to see where I'm at."
The Minnesota Vikings arrived Thursday and will hold their first two practices today, with a walk-through in the morning and a longer, no-pads workout in the afternoon. There's a chance that Peterson, just seven months removed from a severe knee injury, might be on the physically-unable-to-perform list, working out with a trainer on an adjacent practice field.
"It's going to be their call," Peterson said. "My main focus is to get out there and get myself ready."
The Vikings could put Peterson on the PUP list, which means he can't practice with the team, as a means of protecting him from contact. He can come off the PUP list at anytime.
Peterson said that he's talked a lot with linebacker Chad Greenway, whose been through the knee rehab. He said his knee feels great and that he has been sprinting, jumping and cutting. But he knows it will be different when there are players around him and he has to make football moves.
"I just want to be out there with my teammates and be involved," he said. "To what extent? I don't know."
Frazier vibe
Coach Leslie Frazier arrived for his sixth season in Mankato and proclaimed his players and coaches ready to go.
"There's no comparison," Frazier said. "We are much more prepared with what we have to get done with a new football team. Spending three weeks down here will be a big plus."
Frazier said a big difference in this camp will be better competition for starting positions and roster spots.
"We're excited because there are multiple guys who will win jobs in this camp," he said. "We're talking about guys who weren't here last year and didn't have a major role a year ago. That's going to be interesting to see how that plays out."
No bill for Ponder
Last season, some of the veterans played a joke on quarterback Christian Ponder. At a local restaurant, the veterans stuck the rookie with the bill, which included all the dinners and a few bottles of adult beverages.
"They gave me a fake bill. It was like $14,000," Ponder said. "They said I turned pale, but I was just going to pay it."
This summer, he's more prepared for training camp and shouldn't be the target of such a rookie prank.
"I'm a lot more confident," he said. "Just more comfortable with the coaches, my teammates and the surroundings. That should make it more fun."
The other No. 1
With first-round choice Matt Kalil getting most of the attention, having signed his contract Thursday, safety Harrison Smith walked into Gage nearly unnoticed.
"As a rookie, I really don't know what to expect," Smith said. "I'm pretty excited and anxious. There's a lot of Notre Dame guys who have been here before that have told me a little bit about this."
Smith, who was acquired when the Vikings traded up to No. 29 in the first round, is one of five players on the roster from Notre Dame. He will be given a chance to win a starting safety position.
"This is a huge time for me," he said. "I want to start strong and keep improving."
Johnson at guard
Charlie Johnson came to Mankato a couple days late last summer, taking over at left tackle when Bryant McKinnie was waived. This summer, he's the starting left guard, having slid inside after Kalil was drafted.
"It's not a big deal," he said. "I don't care where I play as long as I'm playing somewhere. I've played guard, it's just been awhile."
Kalil and Johnson will anchor the left side with John Sullivan at center and Phil Loadholt at right guard. There will be competition for the right-guard spot.
"We just need to work together as a unit," Johnson said. "We're all trying to get better."

Customer Reviews

Fantastic tour. Franc our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make the day really enjoyable for us. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone staying in Las Palmas.
July 2014
Bruno and Frans were FANTASTIC tour guides! They had a vast amount of historical knowledge of Gran Canaria and all of the villages we visited. They are incredibly inviting and create a comfortable fun-filled environment. We tasted local food and drink from each place at no cost and without fail, were impressed by the beauty of everything we saw.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- There is a little boy named Jalen who is making a big impact on our city.
He lived for six months in his mother's womb but a strep B infection took his life before he was born. Now, Jalen's Gift Foundation is making Las Vegas a better place to live.
The scrapbook tells the story of two excited parents, the day they learned they were pregnant and the ultrasounds that followed.
Everything was perfect until Gabriela Foster went into labor several months early. "By the time I got to the hospital I was 6 cm in full labor. 102 fever. When they checked baby's heartbeat, they told me he was gone."
Jalen was gone. And his devastated parents had to break the news to their oldest daughter. "I called her and told her you're not going to school today. She said why? Is the baby born? I said, 'Your baby brother is in heaven.' And she just broke down crying."
But the most painful part was walking into the hospital pregnant and walking out with nothing. Now Jalen's parents want to make sure that doesn't happen to anyone else.
"The parent will write. Sorry for your loss. In honor of my baby, I created a package for you. They get to write their baby's date and name. And the person getting it knows they're not alone."
Out of the heartache, a beautiful idea was born. The Fosters started Jalen's Gift Foundation. Now, when a parent loses a baby, they get a beautiful gift box created by another family who lost their baby.
Inside is a blanket to cry on, a canvass for their baby's foot or hand print, an angel bear to hold and a scrapbook that acknowledges life. "A certificate of life. Because we don't get a certificate of life, we get a death certificate."
A gift from Jalen. So that other parents will say his name. So that no one will forget his life mattered. So that the next grieving parent will know they're not alone.
In addition to the boxes, Jalen's Gift Foundation helps cover funeral costs and offers a support group.
Several prominent doctors in town, Dr. Wilkes and Dr. Adeshack, often come to answer questions.
They are holding a vigil Oct. 15 at the District to celebrate all of the babies lost. It's free, and it will be a celebration.
They need volunteers. If you'd like to help or participate in that event, click here.

Irish priest, returned to ministry after acquittal on abuse charges, takes new leave of absence
Catholic World News - March 31, 2014
An Irish priest who was restored to ministry after being cleared of abuse charges has taken a new leave of absence, apparently shaken by the emotional fallout from dealing with the allegations against him.
Father Eugene Boland had returned to active ministry in the Derry diocese just two weeks ago, after being found not guilty of abuse charges. A spokesman for the diocese said that Father Boland had been in therapy to prepare for his return to parish work. "However, it has all too quickly become clear to Fr. Boland and diocesan authorities that he is not ready."

The show's name makes it sound like a gay live-cam site, but the performers here have other talents. In fact, the acts are so gender fluid, they really have very little to do with traditional ideas of masculinity. Isaiah Esquire and Johnny Nuriel glam up their faces and lace up their torsos for sickening dance and aerial acts. MoNika, a champion pole dancer, never skips leg day. A familiar cast of drag queens, jokester jugglers and acrobats joins the lineup as well.

SO easy. A recipe that gets absolute raves. It's amazing because everyone I serve it to says, "what did you put on this salad!?!?" and it's just so simple.flag if inappropriate
simple, fast, and delicius goes perfect with an arugula based saladflag if inappropriate
Perfect lemon vinaigrette for quinoa salad with tomato, scallion, cilantro, and corn.flag if inappropriate
Perfectly yummy!!flag if inappropriate
I've been using this as a base for all my salad dressings for decades. It's best with Meyer lemons. If watching calories, it's even good with equal parts oil and lemon juice. Add Worstershire sauce, more garlic, and dry mustard and it becomes Caesar Dressing. Add basil, green onions, parsley and it becomes Italian dressing. Add grated ginger. . . .well, you get the idea. And as the original recipe states, it is delicious on its own. Once you start with this, you will never purchase a salad dressing again.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The American Conservative Union (ACU) Political Action Committee (PAC) today endorsed Ann Wagner for Missouri's second-district U.S. Congress seat, currently held by Congressman Todd Akin.
"Ann Wagner has a proven record of service to her country and community through promotion and preservation of true conservatism. As Ambassador, she promoted American interests in the global arena. Wagner will bring valuable business experience from her time in the private sector to join conservatives in the Congress working to address today's challenges. Her election to Congress will be a victory for all Missourians," said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. "The American Conservative Union PAC is proud to endorse her for Missouri's Second District, and we look forward to working with her toward a victory in the November election."
"I am honored to have earned the trust and endorsement from the American Conservative Union PAC and thank them for helping our campaign for Congress in Missouri's 2nd District. ACU can count on me in Congress to fight for core conservative principles and against those in Congress who think that more government, more tax revenue and increased spending are the answers to all the Nation's ills. I look forward to joining the fight next year in Congress."
The ACU Political Action Committee is the political arm of the American Conservative Union, the nation's oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization. The committee supports candidates for office who reflect the conservative principles on which ACU was founded. The goals of the ACU PAC are to increase the number of quality candidates who share our commitment to conservative principles and to protecting and advancing the fiscal, social and security priorities of the Reagan era. These funds are utilized in conjunction with endorsements and public announcements to communicate our support for chosen candidates to their constituents and conservatives across the nation.
The ACU recently announced its 2011 Ratings of Congress, the 41st edition of the conservative ratings guide. For more information on the ACU PAC or to download the full 2011 Ratings of Congress, please visit conservative.org. To support, or learn more about, Ann Wagner, visit annwagner.com.

Blue lagoon movie, were they cousins or brother and sister??
The main characters Richard and Emmeline, played by Christopher Atkins and Brooke Shields, were cousins in the 1980 film The Blue Lagoon. The film is an adaptation of a novel by the same name, written by Henry De Vere Stacpoole.
Brooke Shields was only 14 when the film was shot. A body double was used for the nude scenes, and Brooke's hair was glued down to cover her breasts in the topless scenes.
The first choice for the female lead was Jennifer Jason Leigh, but she turned down the role as the director originally wanted to do the film entirely nude. Diane Lane also turned down the role for similar concerns. The director later agreed to let Shields take the role with most of the film being clothed.
Lifetime Television recently aired Blue Lagoon: The Awakening a remake of the 1980 film where the lead characters are classmates.

Sheriff's Office: Man dead after standoff at Fort Pierce home | Photo gallery
Fort Pierce — After a standoff that lasted more than three hours, a man was found dead inside the home where he barricaded himself Tuesday afternoon.
The Sheriff's Office has not confirmed the man's identity or determined the cause of his death.
Law enforcement officials were called to the scene after a noise complaint of loud, obscene music being played was phoned in about 3:15 p.m. from Francis K. Sweet Elementary, 1400 Avenue Q, said Sgt. Adam Goodner, St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office spokesman..
"It was loud enough the children could decipher the words," said Sheriff Ken Mascara.
A pair of deputies drove to the neighborhood and heard the explicit lyrics echoing from a closed garage at the home the 1500 block of Avenue Q. They knocked on the front door, but no one answered. Then they banged on the garage door, Mascara said.
When the door was raised, a man brandishing a handgun was standing inside the garage, the deputies said, according to Mascara. They ordered the man to drop the gun, but instead the man raised it, they said. Several shots were fired by the deputies as the man closed the garage door, Mascara said.
After the gunfire, the Sheriff's Office ordered several more deputies to the scene. Crime scene investigators, the bomb squad, SWAT and the Sheriff's Office armored vehicle also surrounded the home and area. Dozens of residents watched from their homes and along perimeters set up by yellow tape around the block.
The St. Lucie County School District placed a lockdown on Sweet Elementary, where more than 150 students were attending after school programs.
Soon after, school officials transported the students by school bus to the cafeteria at Lincoln Park Academy, where parents were able to pick up their children.
All students had been picked up by parents by 6:30 p.m., said Mark Rendell, deputy superintendent.
Initially, Mascara said deputies were concerned about a child they were told may have been in the home with the gunman. The Sheriff's Office confirmed after a few hours that no one else was inside the residence.
Deputies made several attempts to contact the man but received no response. Shortly after 6 p.m., several pepper spray canisters were tossed into the home, but the gunman still didn't emerge.
Using a remote-controlled camera inserted through the garage door, deputies saw the man on the garage floor, Goodner said. . They entered and after 8 p.m. confirmed he was dead.
Investigators continued to process the crime scene Tuesday night and were expected to be there for several hours, Goodner said.

Active Questions
|Family & Parenting / 12:55 AM - Monday January 10, 2011
Do most parents allow their adult children to move back home?
My significent other insists most parents allow their grown kids to move back home indefinitely no questions asked and have an open door policy. Not in my world. He says I'm wrong. We are planning to get married and he wants me to move in with him. I have young children, and we both have pets. We don't have a lot of money or much room. So I'm not talking about parents with huge homes and big incomes. And his son is a college graduate who is almost 30 years old, and it's not an emergency situation. He has other options, but his dad will allow him to live with him/us rent free without contributing anything (not even chores) to the household. He has done it before. I am not comfortable starting a new marriage with another grown man living in the house, and his son is often rude to all of us, and is intolerant about the younger kids and pets, causing a lot of turmoil. I have always been told that at age 18 or after college graduation, the kids should find their own way. My oldest had to share the rent with 3 roomies for a time, but never moved back home after college. I don't know a lot of people, so my S/O insists I don't know what I'm talking about, and says most parents would allow their kids to return anytime without expecting anything in return, because that's what parents do. I don't really think that's particularly good for either the grown kids or the parents, unless there is extreme need. Then I can understand making an exception. And I do understand how sometimes living with extended family works out well for everyone, but this is not that type of case. This would only benefit one person. Am I being unreasonable or is he?
- Asked by Female, 56-65
I would allow my kids to come back home. However they would have to help around the house,do their own laundry etc . They would have to be respectful and tolerant of young kids and pets. If they didn't act right so to speak,they would be asked to leave. I would always have an open door policy but there would be rules to follow. I live with my mom now but I can't just do what I want. I have to help clean. I buy all the food and cook dinner. If I go somewhere I tell my mom where I'm going and when I'm coming back. I have to respect her and her home or move out.
- Response by misskitty420, A Cool Mom, Female, 29-35, Student
Hmm... Your S/O is dead wrong. I grew up in a time where when you turned 18, you either went to college or you got a job. But, either way, you where out of the house unless you simply needed a place to crash on way to your next job. This idea that children don't have to learn to be self-sufficient is crap and leads to people who don't take responsibility for their actions and choices.

Sounds like there has already been drama surrounded by his son.
- Response by seasons4, A Sportif, Female, 46-55, Financial / Banking
Once they have moved out, there out for good.
- Response by steady4rhyne, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 56-65, Self-Employed
I agree with your boyfriend to an extent. I think 30 is a bit old to be moving back home, but allot of college graduates do move back home until they find a job and get established. This is actually a very common occurance. So he's not too far off in his thinking but one would think at 30 yrs old you should be able to stand on your own.
- Response by kdtxchic30, A Thinker, Female, 36-45, Who Cares?
The world is a different place today and it is harder for young people to make it. When I was 17 I graduated high school traveled across the country made my own pay, paid rent and put myself through college. This is not possible today for young people. Many generations are living together now and it's because they can't afford to be alone. Would you feel this way if it were an elderly parent instead of a child? Family is family.

Read: Glen Sather On Henrik Lundqvist and His New Contract
6:10PM: Bob McKenzie said on TSN Drive, "If you look at the Rangers in any degree of success, he is the reason that they are that. I am sure it's more years and a little more money than they wanted to give him, but I think they were starting to recognize that they were getting into shaky territory. Lundqvist isn't playing terrible but it's a bad goal every other game. There is a theory that the contract was starting to weigh on his mind and there is no margin for error with the Rangers because they don't score a lot of goals. It's a real impotent offense. I think the Rangers thought that the worst case scenario is that he plays poorly, walks himself to UFA and someone will sign him for a lot of money and we will be left with a hole that we can't fill. For a team that needs it's goalie to be out of this world most nights, hopefully he will get it back. "
12:30PM: Marty Biron tweets "On a serious note, goalie is the hardest position to play when contract talks are ongoing. Hank's been good, but watch him turn it on now."
11:31AM: The Rangers have officially announced the contract extension for goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
In the press release, Rangers President and GM Glen Sather said the following about Lundqvist:
"Since his arrival in New York in 2005, Henrik has consistently been one of the elite goaltenders in the NHL. He is a proud representative of the tradition and class of this organization and we are excited to have him remain as a cornerstone of the franchise."
Sather said back in the spring that the Rangers intended to sign Lundqvist to a long-term deal.

The only slight downer is that as the original Note proved a commercial success rather than an entirely niche device limited to geeks/freaks/giants, this second edition is a bit pricier.

Just looking for a sweet girl to have good times with :)
I'm from Canada, and now I'm a first year med student at Hopkins and couldn't be happier to call Baltimore home! I bike to school every day, and I try to spend as much of my down time as possible hanging out with my great classmates. I also like to walk around outside and explore, work out at the gym, read a variety of good and not so good literature, and watch TV shows on Hulu, usually over breakfast.
I graduated from Duke in '07, and since then I've been on the move! I worked for a year in Vancouver on the 2010 Winter Olympics (television production planning), and then I spent 4 months letting loose on a backpacking trip in South America. I then got comfortable at home for a year or so, while working in medical research, and then got my first taste of Baltimore while doing a post-bac premed program here. Last year, for about 10 months, I worked in Ghana leading the field activities of an NGO, and I also shadowed some docs there and vaccinated kids against polio.
I'm personable and moderately outgoing, and truly enjoy fun conversation. I'm also quite ambitious and excitable, and I love adventures and exploring. But frequently after a long week, I just want to spend a quiet night with friends. I also enjoy getting into bed with a great book and reading until I fall asleep.
When you first meet me you'll probably think that I'm composed and mature but, after a while, you'll see that I sometimes like to goof around. I've also been known to be somewhat sarcastic. I can have fun in just about any situation.

Regardless if I bought a falsey labeled product and it worked, there is still the harm to the reliability of representation of a product, here being a legal education (yes, I agree it's a long stretch). So if, as the judge states, lables matter; then regardless of her harm, the policy in play is to make the information school provide match the reality they purport to represent.
To date, every arguement by a law school is "no one relies on these stats so you can't blame us". Then why do they produce them? Because ranking systems and students do consider them a factor, just like claims by a manufacturer of goods.
Not sure this is going to win but much like Al Capone and tax evasion; I don't care about the road taken (assuming it's valid), I care about getting the result which is law schools to stop BS'ing prospective students.
By Jasper on 2012 12 07, 3:59 pm CST
@ Atty Girl and David R M, McL, why are you guys against it? I don't understand, you are lawyers, what did the judge do? he just allowed it to proceed...where is the problem..isn't this the foundation of the US legal system? Let the jury of peers decide if there was harm or not...the same way you guys are arguing here...let a jury argue and reach a conclusion.
I assume everyone here knows Civil Procedure 101 (@ atty girl) if there is enough issue of fact, the case has to move forward... plaintiff does not have to show damages, now, here with certainty etc. Again here, let me refresh your legal memory, that's WHY we have discovery...if we have to prove the case up front then discovery is just an unecessary step.
I don't see why the case should be dismissed on summary judgment.... If you guys are really convinced, I think you guys ought to move to france and practice there. Their procedure civile au tribunal de premiere instance operates as you guys suggest here.
By He Is on 2012 12 07, 4:29 pm CST
(1) TJ Law school needs to clean up their stats, be truthful for goodness sake.
(2) No damages to plaintiffs: Reasons:
...(A) employment rates vary from good times to bad, so no reliance upon entering a law school with high employment rates (even if true) can be relied on to even remotely represent actual employment stats 3-4-5 years later.
...(B) assumption of risk: a student entering law school assumes the risk of not being the 1st in the class or even top 10 in the class that would more likely get a higher paying job/employment sought
...(C) 25%-30% of students fail out or drop out of most law schools from the time they start until the time they are supposed to graduate. So, if you rely on stats, already 25%-30% of students entering law school won't meet the graduation stats.
...(D) the suit is to make the law school report stats truthfully, not really to compensate plaintiffs...OK, so once done, its done.
...(E) reasons for students prior successes could be or should be known to be heavily reliant on many factors that can change over 3-4-5-10 years, such as specific faculty members teaching, law firms still functioning that hired TJ grads before, student IQ make-up, lower number of grads in earlier classes, lower number of grads in all law schools combined in earlier years means fewer open jobs now for higher number of grads

However, for decades, the methodology of law school placement statistics has been openly unreliable. When I started school (before the US News "rankings") applicants for the LSAT would get a large, paperback catalog setting forth comparative information on the accredited law schools. Even then, there were "placement" numbers (I believe it was because they were required by ABA), but by reading the narratives, you could tell what the numbers were worth. For example, schools could (and did) count people with any job (legal or fast foods) as "placed," and they were also allowed to (and did) count graduates no longer looking for jobs as "placed." Finally, then as now, the numbers were always based on last year's graduating class, so they would be four years old before applicants accepted today would come out into the hiring market. The "placement" numbers were never rationally usable to predict employment prospects upon graduation, and never will be. Applicants who ignored all this available information and misused the statistics as predictors of employment prospects (or the abstract "value" of their degrees) were simply dumber than a post hole, and completely unreasonable in their claimed "reliance."
By B. McLeod on 2012 12 10, 7:27 am CST
I just think that these schools should have to go to trial on the issues. That way, the foolish young consumers can have their day in court with snake oil salesman. Hopefully law schools will taught that the cost of falsifying their information or making it misleading could be steep indeed.

By Yankee on 2012 12 10, 10:11 pm CST
Yankee reminds me of when my son says "he doesn't mean to be obnoxious" when he talks back.
Yankee dear, whether you mean to be obnoxious or not, you are. Not "meaning to be obnoxious" still resulted in the same thing:
You were obnoxious.
The article is not focused on the quality of the law school. You just used it as an opportunity to slam my school.
BTW you did not mention your alma mater....
By Atty Girl on 2012 12 10, 11:18 pm CST
1. You proclaim: "You were obnoxious."
If I had any feelings, they'd be hurt.
2. You remind: "The article is not focused on the quality of the law school. "
Thank be to G_d!!
3. You conclude: "You just used it as an opportunity to slam my school."
No. I was not slamming your school; rather, I was questioning the wisdom of those who would matriculate to such an institution in times in which we live.
Listen, if I were the finder of fact in this case, I am not sure where I would come down: In favor of starry-eyed law school aspirant refusing to see an economic reality as plain as the nose on her/his face OR in favor of the not fully candid law school that continues to exjst for the benefit of its tenured facility?

Finally, David, let me respectfully observe - - in the nicest way possible, of course - - that you appear to be just a wee bit defensive about being an alumnus of Thomas Jefferson School of Law. Rest assured that you can hold your head up high in the knowledge that Thomas Jefferson School of Law is among the top three law schools located San Diego County, California - - something I can't say about my own Alma mater

Very interesting....
By Atty Girl on 2012 12 11, 3:53 pm CST
Regarding your questions, I am very old and you are testing the limits of my feeble memory with your legion of questions. The important thing, however, is that my law school provided me with a degree that has allowed me more than 30 years of gainful, continuous employment in my chosen profession at less than half the cost expressed in nominal dollars of a SINGLE YEAR at Thomas Jefferson. Plus, the economy was not as saturated with lawyers as it is now when I graduated, which made it a value proposition.
With all of that said, Thomas Jefferson is clearly a more 'happening' place than my old, run down alma mater and I am frankly jeolous. The reason I say that is because according to Thomas Jefferson's website students will have an opportunity to intern with the Funk Master himself, George Clinton in the coming year. http://www.tjsl.edu/news-media/2012/8071
Circling back to the story, above, it would seem that the the ability to rub elbows with George Clinton would more than offset any theoretical harm associated with misunderstanding concerning past attorney placement statistics.
By Yankee on 2012 12 11, 4:55 pm CST
Still no response as to your law school? Weird. Most assuredly it is not Ivy League.
I went to Pepperdine for undergrad. Maybe you can rip on that next.
Hope you learned a lesson here: think before you type!
Time for me to go practice law now.....
By Atty Girl on 2012 12 11, 5:18 pm CST

C-130J "Super Hercules" is a four-engine turboprop military
transport aircraft. The improvements built into the C-130J, which entered
production in 1997, have enhanced the performance of the aircraft in
terms of its range, cruise ceiling time to climb, speed and airfield
requirements. The Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules is the world's
most advanced tactical airlifter. Designed and developed with mission
flexibility in mind - combat delivery, air-to-air refueling, special
operations, disaster relief and humanitarian missions - the C-130J has
a unique mix of agility and performance to consistently operate at very
high tempo operations efficiently and reliably. The C-130J Super Hercules
is the only airlifter with the range and flexibility for emerging theaters
and evolving concepts of operation. This tactical transport aircraft
has already proven itself in many kinds of missions, many in the harshest
operating conditions possible.

SEC Nominee Signals Cautious Approach to Prosecuting Banks
Follow @jbrezlowMarch 13, 2013, 1:18 pm ET
Watch The Untouchables, FRONTLINE's look at why no Wall Street executives have been prosecuted for fraud in connection with the financial crisis.
President Obama's pick to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission told senators at a confirmation hearing Tuesday that federal prosecutors should consider the "collateral consequences" of bringing a criminal indictment against financial institutions.
The comment by Mary Jo White, a former U.S. attorney herself, comes less than a week after Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers that the Justice Department has considered the impact to the broader economy of prosecuting major banks for the financial crisis. The size of some institutions, Holder said, "has an inhibiting impact" on the department's ability to bring certain cases.
The attorney general's comments were put to White during an exchange with Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.). Asked to respond to Holder's statement, White told the Senate Banking Committee that federal prosecutors are instructed by Justice Department policy to consider the "collateral consequences of a criminal indictment to innocent shareholders, employees, or the public." And while no institution should be considered "too big to charge," she said, "certainly, prosecutors should consider that before proceeding."
White's remarks echoed similar comments made by Lanny Breuer — who led bank enforcement during his tenure as assistant attorney general — in an interview with correspondent Martin Smith for the FRONTLINE film The Untouchables. Breuer's interview (which you can read here) prompted a Jan. 29 letter from Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) seeking an explanation from the Justice Department about how it determines which cases to prosecute.
If confirmed, White would not have the authority to bring criminal charges. She told lawmakers, however, that as a former United States attorney in Manhattan from 1993 to 2002, she spoke with Treasury Department officials on at least one occasion when considering whether to bring charges against a financial firm. Those consultations, she said, addressed not just the possible fallout of a case for the U.S. economy, but global markets as well.
"Essentially, I was seeking information based on an argument that had been made by the lawyers for the institution that I ultimately indicted, as to whether an indictment of that institution would result in great damage to either the Japanese economy or the world economy," explained White. "And the answer I got back is that I should proceed to make my own decision, which I took to mean that it would likely not have that impact."
The SEC does not consider collateral consequences in its charging decisions, White said, "But they do consider consequences in their remedies." She signaled such considerations could factor into decisions over civil penalties.
White also addressed concerns about her work since leaving her post as a U.S. Attorney. She has since worked as a partner for the law firm Debevoise and Plimpton, where she has represented clients such as JPMorgan Chase and former Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis.
Seeking to ease those concerns, White said her work for Wall Street clients "does not change me as a person. It doesn't mean I embrace the policy thoughts of any of my clients. … The American public will be my client, and I will work as zealously as is possible on behalf of them. "
