Is an Accounting Degree Worth it Or Worthless?
There's an age-old saying that "one man's trash is another man's treasure." You've probably heard it, but if not, it simply means that different people can have different ideas about the value of an item. And when it comes to the perceived value inanimate objects – like an accounting degree, for example – it is "worth" whatever value is put on it by the holder, society and potential employers.
The paper on which is a degree is printed is admittedly not worth much, but the value of what that degree symbolizes is another question altogether. Will your degree improve your social status? Will your degree help you find friends or drive fancy cars? Will your degree help you land a job? How about find a lucrative career? These questions represent the potential of a degree.
In order to find quantifiable answers to these questions about potential, we looked at job outlook, salaries and skills for the accounting field. Our aim is to provide indisputable data that will help you answer that single burning question that you're asking yourself right now: Is an accounting degree worth it or worthless?
The number of jobs for accounting majors is remarkable
Benjamin Franklin famously said in 1789: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." And over 200 years later anyone considering an accounting degree should know that the need for accounting professionals continues to be very strong. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts more than 190,000 new accounting professionals will be hired through 2020 – that growth is 5 percent higher than the average occupation!
Along with this job growth you can also expect to see positions available within a wide range of different professional industries. Here are the top industries to target.
These projections allow you to be a bit pickier in your search for a position within a company that best fits your personality, interests and passions. You'll have a chance to find a place that you enjoy working, not just a place to collect a paycheck.
Next, when it comes to the salary you can expect from this field, the numbers don't lie.
The average accounting salary is impressive
Accounting is a career in which people are responsible for tracking and analyzing the financial health of an individual or corporation. So it stands to reason that the average salary for people in those positions reflects that level of accountability.
Compared to the average annual salary among all occupations and industries – $45,790 – the salaries for accounting professionals are quite strong and typically above average. That's great news if earning a substantial income and improving your lifestyle is something that interests you.
Bear in mind, though, that the average salary for accounting positions seems to fluctuate a bit by industry. Once you earn a degree, you'll have the ability to pursue opportunities in different industries so you can target positions that fit your interests and desired salary.
But before you start daydreaming about living the life of a high-roller, wait. In order to be qualified for any of the positions listed above, you need to know which skills potential employers are looking for in top candidates.
The need for accounting skills is high
If you crave a prestigious career, it's going to take hard work and dedication to achieve. A great place to start is to understand the specific accounting skills employers will be looking for on your resume. The 10 skills in greatest demand for careers in accounting* include:
1. Accounting
2. Accounts Payable and Receivable
3. Account Reconciliation
4. General Ledger
5. Financial Statements
6. Financial Reporting
7. Public Accounting
8. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
9. Bookkeeping
10. Internal Auditing
The coursework in an accounting degree program will help you develop many these skills. But being aware of them now will make it easier to take each classroom assignment more seriously than your classmates. Just like you compete with your classmates for the best grades in class, in the real world, you'll be competing with them to land the best jobs.
Almost a million positions over the last year listed "accounting" as a necessary skill for candidates, so if you want the best jobs, that's not enough. The more you focus on developing some of these other skills, the better the chances of impressing the hiring manager and, ultimately, achieving the lifestyle you want. **
You're ready to make a decision
Now that you have seen the number of job opportunities, eye-catching salaries and the demand for skills in accounting, it's clear that the answer to your initial question – Is an accounting degree worth it? – is yes.
But remember, earning an accounting degree only earns you the potential to live a life of luxury. The hard work, dedication and ultimate decision, all need to come from you.
If you're up for the challenge, get started on earning your accounting degree right now.
If you are still debating, learn more about the accounting degree basics or the different types of business degrees to help find the right path for you.

Utah State football: Special teams drives Aggies to win (with video)
Logan • Jojo Natson has a flair for the dramatic, even if he doesn't always run upfield.
Although there were several times Wyoming's defenders couldn't seem to guess what he was doing next, Utah State coach Matt Wells said he's never thrown off by what the 5-foot-8 receiver can do in the punt return game.
"Nothing surprises me with that little sucker; you can't see him out there," Wells said. "We gotta get him figuring out which way is north sometimes, but it's kind of like the guys who shoot 3-pointers and you're like, 'No, no, no nice shot.'"
Wells may have been shouting something like that during Natson's punt return in the second quarter, when he burst out of a pack of defenders then cut across the field and back, cramping up before he hit paydirt. The 64-yard touchdown return was Natson's second this year.
Special teams in general were a weapon for the Aggies on Saturday. Punter Jaron Bentrude continued his run of stellar special-teams play, pinning Wyoming inside its own 20 five times on the day for a 43.3-yard average.
Bentrude also set up a key turnover for the Aggies with a line-drive punt that was muffed by the Wyoming returner. Marquan Ellison recovered the punt deep inside Cowboys territory to set up a short touchdown drive.
DeMartino hits four digits
Senior running back Joey DeMartino joined the 1,000-yard club on Saturday, perhaps the most unlikely Aggie to ever reach the plateau.
With 112 yards, the sixth time he's run over the century mark, DeMartino became the 17th Aggie to run for 1,000 yards, and the fourth in five years. Despite starting the season as the backup, DeMartino assumed the featured role after a season-ending injury to Joe Hill. Since then, he's been the Aggies' main weapon on the ground.
"It's a dream come true," DeMartino said. "It's a tradition left here by Robert Turbin, Kerwynn Williams and Michael Smith. I hope it just keeps continuing on. I'm glad to be a part of it."

Academic Programs | PhD in Nursing
The PhD program in nursing was initiated in 1989 and is the first PhD program in nursing in New Jersey. In order for nurses to engage in evidence-based practice, evidence must be generated by researchers who understand nursing problems and nursing practice. Consequently, nurse scientists and researchers are urgently needed to inform best practices, explore perplexing patient problems, test strategies to increase patient safety and care quality, lead interdisciplinary teams to improve the health care system, and to, overall, add to the profession's valuable body of knowledge. Nurses who hold a PhD are in great demand and a world of opportunity awaits them!
Offered on the Newark Campus
Graduates of the Rutgers School of Nursing PhD Program will be prepared to:
- Develop the Science
- Steward the Discipline
- Lead Interdisciplinary Research Teams
A PhD is a research-focused degree that prepares nurse scientists to generate evidence that will guide effective and safe nursing care. This is important work that MUST occur before evidence-based practice can take place. The DNP degree prepares practice experts who will translate research evidence to affect changes in their practice setting.
At Rutgers we have a large faculty who are actively engaged in their own funded programs of research and who are nationally and internationally renowned for their work. These faculty members will offer you expert guidance and practical advice as you begin to think about your own research interests. You will have the opportunity to work side by side with this expert faculty in a "research practicum" during which you gain hands-on experiences that prepare you for your own dissertation work. Furthermore, as a highly rated research-intensive university, Rutgers offer you bountiful resources such as research centers, links to health care facilities, computer labs, and a world-class library system. Importantly, all of these advantages are available at the reasonable tuition costs available at state universities, making Rutgers an excellent educational value!

Application info
Students entering the PhD program are expected to have successfully completed a master's level course in nursing theory, nursing research, and a basic statistics course before enrolling in the nursing PhD sequence.
The examination is designed to determine whether a student has acquired sufficient mastery of the evolution of nursing knowledge, nursing research, and theory development in nursing to warrant admission to candidacy for the PhD degree.
The written qualifying examination must be taken after the student has satisfactorily completed Philosophy of Nursing Science, Measurement of Healthcare Phenomenon, Qualitative Research Methods, and Theory and Application to Nursing Research and the major portion of the research methods and statistics requirements (9 hours required). It should be taken not later than six years after the student first registered in the Graduate School-Newark. All "incomplete" grades must be removed and all grades for completed course work must be officially recorded in the student's permanent file before the test date.
The Director of the Graduate Program selects Graduate Faculty to develop questions and to be readers. The questions cover the content in the nursing courses in the Ph.D. Program in Nursing. The questions are comprehensive and analytic in nature.

The in-class curriculum requires a minimum of 67 credits. Of that total, 9 credits are allocated to cognate courses; of these cognate credits a minimum of 6 must be taken outside of the discipline of nursing.

All Non-Africans Part Neanderthal, Genetics Confirm
Posted By kurtnimmo On July 18, 2011 @ 10:20 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Science & Technology,Tile | Comments Disabled

If your heritage is non-African, you are part Neanderthal, according to a new study in the July issue of Molecular Biology and Evolution. Discovery News has been reporting on human/Neanderthal interbreeding for some time now, so this latest research confirms earlier findings.
Damian Labuda of the University of Montreal's Department of Pediatrics and the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center conducted the study with his colleagues. They determined some of the human X chromosome originates from Neanderthals, but only in people of non-African heritage.
"This confirms recent findings suggesting that the two populations interbred," Labuda was quoted as saying in a press release. His team believes most, if not all, of the interbreeding took place in the Middle East, while modern humans were migrating out of Africa and spreading to other regions.

How to hang shelves on cinder block walls in a dorm?
Debra from, New jersey
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By pam munro [523]09/07/2007
P.S. if you only want a light decorative shelf for knickknacks, etc. you can put them on the wall with double-backed foam tape (strong) or get ones that have sticky backed applications....but be careful that they don't take off the PAINT. We could only use sticky stuff to put up posters, etc.
By pam munro [523]09/07/2007
You can't - that's why brick & board bookcases are so popular with students - you can use anything inbetween the boads - bricks/cinderblocks/ cans/even other BOOKS.
By AuntyC (Guest Post)09/04/2007
You can make some really great looking shelves with cinder blocks or bricks and 1 inch boards. If the cinder blocks or bricks look too rough, cover them with contact paper or cloth. Your shelves can be up to 12 inches wide and up to 12 feet long. Have the lumber yard or store cut the boards to the length you want. Boards can be painted, stained, or left natural. A big bonus.... it won't be hard to store or take home with you.
By Marty Dick [163]09/03/2007
Check with your builder supply store. There is a little thing which I'll call a nail for want of a better word. They will work on the block walls. They have a special name which the clerks will know if you tell them what you are doing. My son bought an old fixer upper house with block walls and he used them to hang things on the walls.
Check with dorm management first.

Researchers Find Value in Exomes
In a pioneering effort, researchers have demonstrated the value of a new strategy for identifying relatively rare genetic variants that may cause or contribute to disease.
Gene Therapy Shows Promise for Eye Condition
Three young adults who received gene therapy for a blinding eye condition remained healthy and maintained visual gains one year later, researchers reported. One patient also noticed a visual improvement that helped her perform daily tasks.
Scientists Uncover Structure of HIV Genome
Researchers have created the first comprehensive picture of how the entire HIV genome bends and folds. The finding may point to new options for treating or blocking HIV and other viral infections.

Human See, Human Do?
Imitation is the sincerest from of flattery, the old saying goes. It may also help to promote social bonds. A new study reports that monkeys prefer humans who imitate them over those who don't. Mimicry, the researchers suggest, may be an ancient behavior that sets the stage for primates to form social groups.
Why Genital Herpes Boosts the Risk of HIV Infection
Scientists have discovered why people who develop genital herpes sores are at higher risk of contracting HIV despite successful treatment of the lesions. The new insight may lead to better strategies for HIV prevention.
From Nerve Roots to Plant Roots
Sprouting. Branching. Pruning. Neuroscientists have borrowed heavily from botanists to describe the way neurons grow. A new study suggests the analogies may be more than superficial. Neurons and plant root cells may grow using a similar mechanism. The research sheds light on a group of inherited neurological disorders called hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP).

Intensive Glucose Control Reduces Complications of Type 1 Diabetes
Near-normal control of glucose beginning as soon as possible after diagnosis greatly improves the long-term prognosis of type 1 diabetes, a new study found.
Gene Variants Linked to Blood Pressure in African-Americans
Scientists have identified several genetic variants associated with blood pressure in African-Americans. The results of this new genome-wide study offer potential clues to treating and preventing chronic high blood pressure, or hypertension.
Genetic Switch Discovered for Disease-Fighting Antibodies
Scientists have identified 2 proteins that regulate the production of antibodies that fight disease-causing viruses and other pathogens. The findings have potential applications both for vaccine development and for treating autoimmune diseases, in which the body produces antibodies that attack itself.

San Luis city council pushed on park smoking ban
SAN LUIS, Ariz. (AP) - A community in southwest Arizona may ban smoking at all city parks.
The Yuma Sun reports (http://bit.ly/14bFWjg) that San Luis city council is being pressured to consider an ordinance that would prohibit smoking in city-owned parks and athletic fields.
Members of the South Yuma County Anti-Tobacco Youth Coalition appeared before the council recently to push the proposal.
Mayor Gerardo Sanchez made no promises that the council would adopt what would be the first smoking restriction of its kind.
The south Yuma County group is part of a statewide coalition of youths who oppose tobacco use, and its efforts are sponsored by Campesinos Sin Fronteras, a San Luis-based non-profit organization,

Recipe: Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Shots with Candied KumquatsPin It
I meant to post this yummy dessert last month, but better late than never, right? When I was in San Jose for my high school reunion, I stayed with one of my best friends from high school. She and her husband had warned me to come prepared with some bags so that I could relieve them of their surplus of Meyer lemons. I thought they were exaggerating and figured I'd go home with maybe 10 or so, along with a few for mom. But when I went out to their trees, I was absolutely shocked! Both trees' branches were bending under the weight of the enormous amount of beautifully huge lemons. Each time I thought I'd cleared one branch, another million lemons seemed to appear. Needless to say, I left with at least 50 of these sweetly scented fruits, and I've been using them for a number of different things, from regular cooking to fresh lemonade.
Aside from the lemons, they sent me home with some lovely fresh oregano and some kumquats, which was a welcome surprise. I hadn't had kumquats in ages so I happily grabbed several, with no real clue about how I'd use them. Fortunately, my train ride back home to Sacramento is long enough so that you can do a lot of thinking, and it occurred to me that it might be fun to put the two together, since they're both from the citrus family. I figured a simple little cheesecake parfait made from the two would be perfect for summertime, and I was right. The tartness of the kumquats go perfectly with the lightness of the sweet Meyer lemon cheesecake, making this a creamy, yet refreshing dessert for a balmy summer night.
Because lemon trees can be rather common in many backyards across the country, try to take advantage of any fruit these trees may be bearing right now. Not only will you get better tasting produce, but you'll be saving yourself some money by not going to the store to pay for what you can pick on your own. Don't have a tree? Do what I did and relieve your friends or family of some of their excess fruit. In our fast-paced, instant-gratification society, we seem to have forgotten what it's like to share with our neighbors and friends. Have a little fruit-picking party and spend some time with friends while reconnecting with nature.
For those of you who don't have access to kumquats (though they sell them at most major grocery store chains), don't fret: you can acheive the same visual effect with some mandarin orange sections. Though you won't end up with the same tart v. sweet juxtaposition as you would with the kumquats, they'll still give a cool, juicy kick to the creamy cheesecake. And if you're worried about the logistics of cheesecake + tiny shot glass, stop this instant! This is PGEW-in-the-summertime cheesecake, which means quick, easy, and no-bake. In the sweltering heat of Sacramento (and other super-hot places like the South, Arizona, etc.), there's no reason to make matters worse by turning on an oven; save yourself some time and cut back on your energy costs by making this simple, creamy concoction. Lastly, don't limit yourself to regular shot glasses for this one! This recipe yields quite a bit of cheesecake, so you can use regular parfait glasses or small juice glasses to serve these if you prefer.
Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Shots with Candied Kumquats (yields enough for about 15 dessert shots; total cost per serving: ~ $0.85)
1 can condensed milk (regular, not low-sugar)
1/4 c Meyer lemon juice
Zest of one Meyer lemon
30-40 kumquats (1-2 packages)
3/4 c sugar
3/4 water
1 T honey
Rinse the kumquats well and pat dry. Cut each one in half crosswise, remove the seeds, then cut the halves into quarters. Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the kumquats, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the kumquats have softened completely. Remove from heat and allow them to cool in their syrup for a few minutes, then separate them from the syrup. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, whip the softened cream cheese at medium speed until nice and creamy. Add the condensed milk and mix until completely combined, followed by the Meyer lemon juice. Mix for about 2-3 minutes; you will notice that the lemon juice will thicken your mixture significantly, which means it is almost ready to serve. Lastly, add the grated zest of one Meyer lemon and gently fold into the cheesecake mixture.
Assemble your parfait shots by layering the cheesecake and a small amount of the candied kumquats until your shot glasses are filled. Refrigerate for at least one hour, serve after a nice dinner, and enjoy!

A 2014 Michael L. Printz Honor Book
In Sally Gardner's stunning novel, set in a ruthless regime, an unlikely teenager risks all to expose the truth about a heralded moon landing.
What if the football hadn't gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell — who has different-colored eyes, who can't read, can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright — sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big...One hundred very short chapters, told in an utterly original first-person voice, propel readers through a narrative that is by turns gripping and darkly humorous, bleak and chilling, tender and transporting.
"Just when it seems that there's nothing new under the dystopian sun, Gardner (The Red Necklace) produces an original and unforgettable novel about a boy in a totalitarian society who risks everything in the name of friendship. Standish Treadwell narrates in short, fast-paced chapters, illustrated by theatrical designer/director Crouch with flipbook-style images of rats, flies, and maggots: creatures that represent the oppressive forces at work in the Motherland, a brutish government intent on being first to the moon, at whatever cost to its citizens. Fifteen-year-old Standish is dyslexic (as is the author), making him a target of bullies, which is the least of his problems. He lives with his resourceful grandfather in Zone Seven, but the Motherland has taken away his parents, as well as his best friend, Hector. The loss of his parents has created a hole Standish cannot fill; the disappearance of Hector leaves Standish unprotected at school and bereft of a friend who saw past Standish's disability to recognize his intelligence. 'I believe the best thing we have is our imagination,' Standish recalls Hector telling him, 'and you have that in bucketloads.' Though Standish's grandfather keeps the boy purposefully in the dark about many things, Standish figures out one of the government's big secrets on his own, and he concocts a brave and personally risky plan to reveal it. Parts of the story are very hard to read — early on, a classmate is beaten to death by a teacher in the schoolyard — but the violence asks readers to consider what the world would be like if certain events in history had turned out differently. Gardner does a masterful job of portraying Standish's dyslexia through the linguistic swerves of his narration, and although the ending is pure heartbreak, she leaves readers with a hopeful message about the power of one boy to stand up to evil. Ages 12 — up. Agent: Catherine Clarke, Felicity Bryan Associates." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

For the past 10 years, we have identified and cultivated the world's most successful social entrepreneurs. These extraordinary leaders and their organizations are creating the innovative models that can spark large-scale change for seemingly intractable social problems. Every one of our social entrepreneurs operates with other players in a complex ecosystem with entrenched interests that resist change–but timing is everything. There are moments when the dynamics of an ecosystem shift–an inflection point–when changes in the ecosystem present opportunities to act that will have an outsized impact.
|We see an opportunity to increase our impact by analyzing the issue ecosystems where our social entrepreneurs operate and timing our investments when the ecosystem is ripe for change. We look for a convergence of the issue and an inflection point–when innovations will have the maximum potential for impact. We are evaluating our portfolio of social entrepreneurs and their innovations to assess their potential for impact using our "4-I" framework. We will apply our own resources, skills, and assets augmented by those through our networks of investors, media and other strategic partners, to accelerate innovations and break down the barriers to social change. Social entrepreneurs remain central to our strategy, because their vision and innovations are at the core of our hope for a sustainable world of peace and prosperity.

The Power of Change
Posted By titel On March 22, 2012 @ 11:34 am In Spring 2012, The Classes | 1 Comment
Gabrielle Westbrook left her mark on Vanderbilt as a student. Today she's leaving her mark on Washington, D.C., as a teacher.
As a senior, she wrote the resolution adopted by Vanderbilt Student Government successfully urging the administration to suspend classes on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in favor of a day of service and commemoration. "Reflecting on my experiences at Vanderbilt, I have discovered a common thread that has sewn my years here together: the power of change," Westbrook says.
Now serving in her first year with Teach For America, Westbrook is working to change one of the nation's most underprivileged school districts—in the heart of the nation's capital. "I tell my students they deserve to be smart," Westbrook says. "I tell them that no one else can determine their success, no matter their background."
Westbrook's message appears to be getting through. "I think they've really internalized the message because a lot of behavior patterns have changed," she says. "The number of proficient students has doubled as well."
Westbrook wants her students to reach for higher goals. "If a student tells me he wants to be a mechanic when he grows up, I ask him, 'Why not be a mechanical engineer instead?'"

Writing separate stories in the same world
It was simple, really. I found a world I liked, and I didn't want to leave. A rather magical world with a nice little village in the middle of a forest, where two different types of elves had made their homes. I'd been breathing, living, and discovering that village for two to three months at least, got to know their way of life, their characters, their magical talents, and I just couldn't let them go.
Write a sequel, you say? Yeah... No. A sequel was the furthest thing from my mind at that point. No, I already had a new story burrowing its way into my heart and mind. All I had was the opening scene, but it looked good in my head, and I couldn't wait to start writing it. Yet... I couldn't seem to drag myself out of the Forester's world.
And then I started thinking. I can see you rolling your eyes. It's always dangerous when us writers start thinking, I know, but that's how we work, isn't it? We think, we wonder, we ask ourselves questions, and we imagine, and suddenly we've filled page after page with new ideas.
Well, this idea let me stay in that wonderful world I discovered while writing The Forester. Even though I only wrote about one tribe in that short story, there had to be more tribes living in that fantasy world, right? Closing my eyes, I pictured my opening scene in the Forester's world, and it all just clicked. A different tribe in a different village with different characters, and, voila, Oren's Right was born.
If only it was really that easy, my story would have been finished at least two months before I actually ended up finishing it. But it wasn't so simple. Though it felt right, when I started writing that first scene, all sorts of questions rose up in me. Yes, I'd already done the basic ground work for how my elfin society worked, had sussed out the laws of magic, and had a number of occupations I could re-use for these new characters. But... wasn't I just rehashing the same theme?
I needed some basic rules. I needed to create enough changes between both tribes so I wouldn't feel like I was rewriting The Forester. So, I grabbed my notebook and began making a list of things I could change. First, I created a slightly different layout of the new village, different plants and trees, and different ways of how Healers worked. In Kelnaht's village, every Healer has their own infirmary, while in Oren's village there is one large infirmary where all Healers work together.
I imagined a different cloud elf/tree elf ratio, which automatically led me to having an Elders' Court housed in the trunks of two large trees, connected to each other by a Forester, instead of high up in a tree. And from my opening scene, I knew this village was built right next to a river/lake. Slowly, the new tribe took shape, and I started to enjoy creating this new village.
Every addition drew me deeper into my forest world, deepened my understanding of it. When I wrote The Forester, I focused only on that tribe, even though they were only a small part of a complete world. Creating Oren's Right for the Carved in Flesh anthology, I was far more aware of the many possibilities of that world, and it only made me want to explore more.
Once the setting was finished, I moved on to characterisation. Their occupations were more or less set in stone, since every tribe in this world has a Guide, Truth Seeker, Forester, smith, healer, and elders. This meant I had to be careful about creating my characters, and make sure they didn't resemble their colleagues from The Forester too much.
Because the Guide in The Forester was rather young, I made the one in Oren's Right older. Older, a little wiser maybe, and less cryptic, but no less trustworthy as the tribe's confessor and confidant.
The Truth Seeker was a no-brainer. With both Kelnaht and Brem being men, I knew I had to have a female Truth Seeker in Oren's Right. The fact that both Mir and Kelnaht end up in triads happened by accident. I didn't even know Mir had two lovers until I'd written her kissing scene, but it made sense to me, so I let that slide.
Creating a Forester was tricky. I had my main character, Veld, pegged as a bit of an outsider, a traveller, a black elf who hadn't been part of this tribe for very long, but I didn't have an occupation for him. I was a bit stuck on that, to be honest. I was a bit stuck on finding a Forester, too, not knowing whether a Forester would even play a large part in the story. After fruitlessly searching the web for occupations for Veld, I gave up and just wrote Forester behind his name.
That seemed to do the trick, because, once I'd put that down I came up with more and more insight on who Veld was, and what made him stay in this new tribe, aside from falling in love with Oren, of course. It also gave me an opportunity to show readers more about what a Forester did.
As for Oren, the 'real' main character of Oren's Right, even if he isn't the POV-character, the moment I came up with my opening scene, I knew Oren was the gentle giant type. In my mind, I saw him kneading dough, and from that moment on I'd dubbed my story my 'mute magical baker' story, though I can't even remember what made me think he was mute.
Being mute set Oren apart from his tribe in a sense. With a few exceptions, hey treated him as if he was a child, as if he couldn't take care of himself. But Veld, who'd fallen for Oren at their first meeting, understood his gesturing and treated him like an equal. Of course, the path of their love isn't easy, just like the Kelnaht's path to love isn't easy. But easy isn't as fulfilling as having to work hard to get what you want, nor is it any fun to write.
All in all, trying to balance the similarities between both tribes with the differences to keep the world fresh yet recognisable has been challenging, but a lot of fun. I hope everyone enjoys the magic of my forest world, because I'm not done with it yet. Nothing's set in stone, but I'm close to finishing part two of The Forester and already have plans for the third and final part. After that, there are still plenty of villages to visit and plenty of characters to discover. I really do like it here :)

Hi kids, I'm the comical thumper! Oh stop crying, unlike Mayan's who sacrificed quickly, he was torchered and died as a beaten bloody sacrifice. We have this as a cornerstone of our society, human sacrifice for our sins. So in blindly believing in this, evil people get away with things and grow strong but we blame the devil. Easter bunny bible "thumper" is not good.

General Board / Are law school grading curves reasonable?« on: July 04, 2008, 07:32:28 PM »
I've seen several posts that have complained about the fact that law schools grade on a strict curve. Here's a cut-n-paste of one such criticism (with identifying info removed)
"Curve - The curve at (X) was similar to that of (Y). Unfortunately, the difference between a B+ and C+ was usually only a handful of arbitrary points. I found it was often the case that I would get every issue, but still get a B on the exam because everyone else also got every issue. Curves are worthless because they punish a class of very smart people, or reward a dumbass who happens to have stupider classmates. People should get grades based on what they accomplished or demonstrated, not what other people did. If the class had a bunch of lazy slackers who learned nothing, they should all get F's. D level work should not get an A just because of a curve."
Personally, I think that the curves that law schools use serve a valid purpose and I think that criticism like this aren't particularly valid. I'd imagine that few schools have classes full of 'lazy slackers' where a curve would "reward a dumbass who happens to have stupider classmates". Has anyone actually had a class filled with stupid classmates? From what I've seen in my first year, many of my classmates were just as determined once they got to school as they were to get in in the first place and all had comparable academic qualifications to my own. Further, without a strictly enforced grading guideline or mandatory curve, grades become far more subjective and schools quickly become subject to grade inflation, which ultimately devalues what it means to get an A. When everyone gets a top mark, is it really that much of an accomplishment? It would be the norm... and therefore not the exceptional performance that a top mark should denote.
Just bringing it up for discussion...
L.L.M. Board / LLM's at NYU?« on: March 28, 2008, 06:58:52 PM »

St. John's U Law School / 1L books?« on: July 30, 2007, 07:15:15 AM »
Hey All,
Now that the incoming 1L book list is out there, has anyone started pricing out book costs for this upcoming semester? The two books for my Property I class were close to $150 on Amazon... I can't imagine the campus bookstore being any chepaer (my undergrad bookstore was also run by Follet... they were consistantly the most expensive place to buy books).
St. John's U Law School / Seat Deposit is in!« on: April 05, 2007, 01:48:40 PM »

So who else here has committed to St. John's for incoming Fall '07 class? I saw plenty of people at the ASW a few weeks ago... anyone else attend and decide that St. John's was the right choice for them?
General Board / Winter/Christmas break activities?« on: April 04, 2007, 03:27:38 PM »
Hey All,
Out of curiosity, what do 1L's do during the break between the fall and spring semesters? The school I'll be attending has a roughly 2+1/2 week break (12/22 - 1/8) and I was wondering whether it would be reasonable to schedule a vacation during that time or are you expected to use that time to do reading for the Spring semester? I just got the vacation schedule here at my job and it looks like one of the few opportunities I'll have to actually go anyplace.
Any advice or personal experiences would be deeply appreciated.
2L job search / PT Summer Position?« on: March 16, 2007, 09:12:43 AM »
While the vast amjority of law students are full-timers, there are many schools that offer a part-time program. I'd imagine that those PT students wouldn't be able to take a FT position over the summer. Does anyone know of any firms or governmental agencies that have PT openings for summer 2L'? Anyone have any experience with this?

Hey All,
Anyone know what the curve is like at Hofstra? I just got accepted with a merit scholarship that requires me to maintain a 3.25 GPA. Any idea what sort of class standing that's like? Top 1/3? Top 1/4? I'd hate to go in and find out the hard way that only the top 10% of the class breaks a 3.25...
PS: Anyone going to the Accepted Student Open House in late March?

Once You Know Where You Can Meet Cougars Women in Henryetta, Oklahoma You Will Get Further
A lot of boys have heard that there are ladies out there who can realize their needs in a partnership, but they just do not know where these gals could be or how they could go about identifying and getting close to them. For men which are in their youth, many of them are just now discovering that if they really want a romance that they could be thrilled by then cougar women might be the kind of women that they wish to date if they can. Cougars are a subset of ladies who're normally in their later thirties or fourties and are hunting for a great time with a young male because they're now completely independent and free with themselves. A woman like this does not have to answer to anyone and what she needs is a 'cub' that can be her playmate in bed and actually keep up with her at the same time. This works out very well for a guy who is still in his youth simply because the two of them are going to have matching sex drives and also, since she is the one doing the spoiling he's getting a lot better deal than the younger ladies would generally provide him.
Mainly because a woman like this keeps her wild side pretty well hidden you might not recognize her in case you met her in a standard social situation that makes a cougar difficult to find. For males who're looking to understand where to meet cougars in Henryetta, Oklahoma it will be a case of searching on the web first and foremost because this is where these ladies tend to do their hunting. These kind of women are both discrete and informed simply because they ordinarily have a profession and really are good at using the net. If you would like be successful with a cougar you'll need to show her a lot of respect and remain in tune with how she is thinking of the partnership. She is looking for something fun and with no lots of hangups which means you need to make sure that you remain aware of that and do not corner her. If you want to romance her then you're free to do so, but don't put a lot of expectations on her because she'd like to be free.
Actually, a cougar is probably the least complicated kinds of lady around and she can make your life both easy and exciting instead of breaking your heart. Remember that she shouldn't have to pay for every single thing and that you need to be clear with her that you are not attempting to lasso her. You can both have a blast with each other if you stay honest and you demonstrate to her respect by not disturbing the rest of her life outside your romantic relationship.

President Barack Obama walks past reporters after a news conference in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday, his first since winning re-election Nov. 6. He said he's amenable to compromise. / Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama challenged congressional Republicans on Wednesday to let taxes rise on the wealthiest Americans on both economic and political grounds, noting he campaigned successfully for re-election on the point and contending it would instantly ease the threat of the so-called fiscal cliff plunging the nation back into recession.
"A modest tax increase on the wealthy is not going to break their backs," Obama said of the nation's top income-earners. "They'll still be wealthy," he said at his first news conference since winning a second term.
At the same time, the president stressed he was amenable to compromise from Republicans who say they will refuse to raise tax rates. "I believe this is solvable," he said in the news conference.
At a news conference of his own a short while later, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, agreed that a bipartisan "spirit of cooperation" has been evident since the election that augurs well for talks expected to begin Friday at the White House.
However, he said of the president's proposal, "We are not going to hurt our economy and make job creation more difficult, which is exactly what that plan would do."
Obama seemed eager to avoid issuing any ultimatums. Asked whether it would be a deal-breaker for Republicans to refuse to allow the top tax rate to revert to 39.6% from the current 35%, he sidestepped. "I just want to emphasize I am open to new ideas if the Republican counterparts or some Democrats have a great idea" for raising revenue, maintaining progressivity, making sure the middle class isn't getting hit or reducing the deficit.
Wall Street wasn't encouraged that agreement was becoming more likely. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 185 points for the day.
The president's remarks were his first extended public discussion of the issue that is dominating the post-election session of Congress, and they followed statements earlier in the week from Boehner and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Senate GOP leader.
Both men have said they, too, want a compromise, and have said they are willing to support additional tax revenues as part of a deal that includes tax reform and measures to recast the government's largest benefit programs. But they appear to rule out any legislation that increases tax rates.
McConnell issued a statement calling on Obama to "propose a specific plan that includes meaningful entitlement reforms to strengthen and protect these programs for future generations." He referred to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
The president has moved aggressively this week to lay down markers for any negotiations, first meeting with labor leaders and representatives of liberal groups at the White House, then welcoming a delegation of corporate chief executives for a private session Wednesday.
Some of the executives with whom Obama met have backed his call for combining new taxes and spending cuts. They include General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt, Ford CEO Alan Mulally, Honeywell International CEO David Cote and American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault.
"Our country needs a bipartisan solution for the fiscal cliff that promotes jobs and economic growth now, and avoids damage to a still fragile economy. We encouraged collaboration and compromise among our leaders," Mulally said in a statement.
Aides said the president is prepared to go to the public in the coming days to enlist support. He said Wednesday, "The American people understood what they were getting" when they voted for him after a campaign focusing heavily on taxes.
Economists have cautioned that, given the sluggish state of the economy, a return to recession is likely unless a compromise is reached.
Free Press business writer Alisa Priddle contributed to this report.
More Details: Poll: U.S. is optimistic post-election
Confidence has waned in the U.S. since President Barack Obamas historic election four years ago, but most Americans are still optimistic about the next four years as the president heads into his second term, according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll.
After a bruising election season, and as Obama and Congress head into talks on avoiding the so-called fiscal cliff, 69% of Americans perceive the U.S. as a country greatly divided when it comes to the most important values. And perhaps because of this perceived divide, a vast majority 74% think Obama should emphasize programs both parties support.
Analysts said the poll shows that Obama has some leverage after his victory and as he sits down for talks with Republican lawmakers on how to avert $600?billion in automatic budget cuts and tax hikes set to go into effect Jan. 1 but should be careful not to overplay his hand.
Obama has a mandate to move the country forward in a bipartisan sort of way, said Elaine Kamarck of Harvards Kennedy School of Government. The takeaway is that (House Speaker) John Boehner ought to work with the president and make a reasonable deal.
A majority still sees Obama more as a uniter than a divider, though the percentage is down to 55% from 66% four years ago.
Much the same is true in terms of his favorability a majority still has a favorable view, but its not as high as it was in 2008.
The nationwide poll of 1,009 adults was conducted Nov. 9-12 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

If you've got the guts to tear into your 3DS' guts, the promise of 10+ hours per charge awaits you.
As someone who recently built his first gaming PC from scratch (read: watched my brother-in-law build it, held flashlight), I can't help but be curious with the promise of extending my 3DS's battery life.
The replacement battery / procedure comes from Japanese company JTT. Their "high capacity 3DS battery" boasts "4.4 times the battery life" of the native 3DS battery.
But at what cost… both in terms of dollars and hassle?
Well, it'll run you ~ 10,000 yen, or roughly $130 American. In terms of the Operation stress (25 years later, that noise remains troubling), it doesn't seem all that bad – some static vigilance and a few twists of a screwdriver and you're home free.
The new battery will serve to fatten your 3DS, though, and not unnoticeably.
Have a look at the whole process:
So would the extra heft, dollars and hassle be worth potentially quadrupling your 3DS battery life?
The choice is yours…
Also of Note: The battery comes with a cover that comes in several different colors.
