University of Georgia Open Records
Updated: October 25, 2012
The University of Georgia Public Affairs Division is responsible for administering the University's compliance with the Georgia Open Records Act. This law places important responsibilities on you as a University administrator or staff member. Please familiarize yourself with this material. Most of all be sure to notify Public Affairs (706-542-8090) immediately when you receive a request for any record held by your office.
We in Public Affairs seek to make the University's open records compliance procedures user-friendly, non-adversarial, and open. The laws of Georgia make virtually every record held by UGA, with only a few specific exceptions, accessible to any citizen who requests to see it. Placing unnecessary barriers between the people and the records to which the law entitles them access serves no positive purpose for the institution. Therefore, it is the University's goal to comply with requests for records under the provisions of the Open Records Act. The procedures outlined here will help you and us determine in a timely way whether the records exist and whether they fall under the Act, and to make them quickly accessible to the requestor.
Please call the UGA Public Affairs Division (706-542-8090) immediately whenever an issue arises regarding the application of the Georgia Open Records Act.
Procedure for handling open records requests
Any University employee receiving a request for records held under his/her individual or departmental responsibility should immediately notify the Open Records Manager in the UGA Public Affairs Division, 706-542-8090. A request may be verbal—it is not necessary that a request be in writing — although any requestor may submit a written request under the law if they so desire.
We will contact the requestor directly to determine what they want to know, and will work with them to determine which records will best provide them that information. We then will contact the administrator responsible for those records to determine whether they exist, how voluminous they might be, and how much time might be required to search and assemble them. If the answer is simple and the records minimal, we will try to respond immediately. In more complicated requests, and within three business days of the original request as required by law, the requestor will be notified of the existence of records, an estimate of the cost of searching, assembling and copying, and asked whether they care to proceed. If their answer is affirmative, the department will be notified to gather the records and provide them to the Open Records Manager in Public Affairs as promptly as possible for delivery to the requestor.
Open record request
A request can be made by contacting Mitch Clayton, Open Records Manager in Public Affairs at 706-542-8090. However, most requests are received by e-mail at email@example.com. Requests can also be sent by fax (706-542-9492) or by mail:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Georgia Open Records Act?
It is a state law requiring that public records be open and available for inspection by any member of the public.
What is a public record?
Public records include virtually all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, computer based or generated information, or similar material prepared, maintained or received in the course of the operation of a public office or agency. Records held by private persons for a state agency and records held away from the work site all are subject to the law.
Does the Open Records Act apply to the University of Georgia?
Yes. The University is a public agency; therefore it is subject to the act.
Who may make an open records request?
Any member of the public may request an inspection of any public record. It is not necessary for the requestor to show particular need or interest in the matters covered by the record in order to gain access.
How can I make an Open Records Request?
A request can be made by contacting Mitch Clayton, Open Records Manager in Public Affairs at 706-542-8090. However, most requests are received by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Requests can also be sent by fax (706-542-9492) or by mail:

What is the purpose of the Open Records Act?
The purpose is not only to encourage public access to certain information, but to maintain the public's confidence in government by discouraging secrecy and closed records. The act allows the public to evaluate the functioning of its institutions.
What obligation does the Open Records Act place on the University of Georgia?
The University must provide access to existing public records in its custody or under its control within three business days, including those the University created and those it has received in the course of its operation. We are not required to create a record which does not exist at the time of the request. We are not required to compile requested information into a single document.
Are there records which may be exempted from disclosure under the Open Records Act?
There are exemptions, but they are limited and have been interpreted very narrowly by the courts. The law presumes all records are open and places the burden on the University to demonstrate that any requested materials are exempt. If a public record contains both exempt and non-exempt material, the exempt portion must be removed and the remaining non-exempt material disclosed. The exemptions most relevant to UGA are:
- medical and veterinary records and other materials involving matters of personal privacy;
- records relating to pending investigations;
- records required by the federal government to be kept confidential, such as student educational records;
- trade secrets and certain information of a proprietary nature;
- certain research data, records, or information that has not been published, patented, or otherwise publicly disseminated;
- personal and financial information of donors
- confidential evaluations submitted to a public agency in connection with the hiring of a public employee.
Are student evaluations of academic courses subject to disclosure under the Open Records Act?
Yes. Since 1988, it has been the opinion of the state Attorney General that such documents are open.
Are personnel files subject to disclosure under the Open Records Act?
Yes. Any exempt material in personnel files, such as social security numbers, medical information, home address and telephone number, or information relating to the designation of beneficiaries, may be redacted.
Are performance evaluations subject to disclosure under the Open Records Act?
Yes. There is no exemption for performance evaluations.
Are e-mails I send and receive subject to disclosure under the Open Records Act?
Yes, e-mails are open records, whether or not the subject matter is business-related, if one or more of the following criteria are met:
- they involve state business
- they are sent over a UGA account (even if on a privately-owned computer from home)
- they are sent on or through UGA-owned equipment, no matter where it is located.
Except under very limited exceptions, such e-mails are subject to disclosure if requested under the Georgia Open Records Act.
As a University employee, what is my responsibility to preserve public records?
Although other federal and state laws require the University to maintain certain records for a period of years, no particular records are required to be maintained by the Georgia Open Records Act until they have been requested. Once they are the subject of a request, records may not be erased, shredded, or otherwise disposed of under penalty of law.
Must the University notify employees named in records being disclosed?
While there is no such requirement in the law, the University's policy is to notify employees whose performance evaluations or personnel files have been requested and are being released under compliance of the Open Records Act.
What if I have a question about whether the records requested from me fall under the law?
Whenever you receive a request, you should immediately contact the Open Records Manager in Public Affairs at 706-542-8090. We will evaluate the request for applicability under the law. If there are legal questions, we will consult with the Office of Legal Affairs for advice.
Can the University charge requestors for the cost of copies and staff time used in the search?
The law allows a copying fee not more than 25 cents per page and a charge for staff time used in the search. This fee is based on the pay rate of the lowest-paid employee qualified to search and assemble the documents.
How critical is the time element in complying with the Open Records Act?
It is very critical that any unit receiving a request for records immediately notify the Public Affairs Division. The three-day timeframe for the University to comply under the law starts running when it arrives in our office. It is the responsibility of department heads to assure there is no delay in this notification to the Office of Public Affairs, which is responsible for compliance under University policy.

Law enforcement is still asking for your help to solve a hit and run case that killed a Sisseton man.
It was along a state highway north of Sisseton 27-year-old A.J. Four Star's body lay earlier this month. But authorities still don't know who was behind what they're calling a hit and run that killed the father of two.
"I hope they do find him because the family needs some closure and they need to know what happened," Ricardo Rodriques Fuentes said.
A bus driver from Tiospa Zina Tribal School found Four Star by this bridge. That driver said he didn't even know if he was looking at a human body at first because it was in such bad condition.
The highway patrol is asking anyone with information to contact them and help move the case forward.
Someone let Four Star out of a vehicle at 2 a.m. April 9. The bus driver found him four hours later.
Fuentes was good friends with Four Star and is waiting to hear anything.
"Well I hope they come forward because it would be the right thing to do. In my opinion, to do something like that and to walk away and not do anything there's something seriously wrong," Fuentes said.
Family members have already honored Four Star at the place his body was found.
A ribbon hanging along the bridge's rail also reminds anyone who sees it how many unanswered questions remain.
"By coming forward you're going to put closure to your family. And you can also put closure to yourself," Fuentes said.
According to the Highway Patrol, they're haven't been recent developments in the case. But the Patrol Captain in the area says information from the public could help piece things together.
The Division of Criminal Investigation and the Roberts County Sheriff are also investigating.

Chipper Jones will miss the rest of the World Baseball Classic because of a strain in his right side.
Jones, who is 0-for-10 with six strikeouts in the WBC, was
scratched from Sunday's game against the Netherlands after he
aggravated the injury. He planned to return to the Atlanta Braves'
camp in Kissimmee for treatment.
Jones left last Sunday's game against Venezuela after five
innings because of the injury. He missed a game Wednesday and went
0-for-3 Saturday in an 11-1 seven-inning loss to Puerto Rico that
left the Americans one defeat from elimination.
He was replaced as the designated hitter Sunday by Derek Jeter.

Iran floats restart of nuclear talks, snubs UN
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran has floated specific dates for reopening talks with the United States and other world powers about its nuclear program. At the same time, Tehran has left United Nations nuclear inspectors empty-handed when it comes to addressing Western suspicions that it's conducting tests related to nuclear weapons.
Iran's split personality has complicated calculations by Washington and allies on whether to head back into negotiations more than six months after the last round ended in stalemate. It also offers insight into Tehran's strategy as Western sanctions press harder on the economy, experts say.
Iranian leaders know the only route to ease the economic pressures — and possibly undercut threats of military action by Israel — is through potential deal-making with six world powers — the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany.
Making gestures to the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, would likely bring praise from the West, but it is unlikely to roll back sanctions, which so far have reduced Iran's critical oil exports by 45 percent.
"Tehran ... sees any cooperation with the IAEA as a potential bargaining chip that is better reserved for the talks that really matter," said Suzanne Maloney, an Iranian affairs expert at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
There still are no clear signals on whether Iran's desire to revive dialogue means a greater willingness to make concessions.
Three rounds of talks last year made no headway on the West's main demand: that Iran halt its highest-level uranium enrichment.
Washington and others worry this level of nuclear fuel, at 20 percent enrichment, could be turned into warhead-grade material much faster than the 3.5 percent enriched uranium needed for Iran's lone energy-producing reactor.
Iranian envoys appear to favor getting the dialogue restarted at least to keep channels open with Washington. That could gain support from the Obama administration, which favors diplomatic efforts to end the nuclear standoff.
Critics, including Israel's Prime Benjamin Netanyahu, contend Iran is only seeking to drag out negotiations while it expands its stockpile of enriched uranium.

Where To Invest Now? Goldman Cautiously 'Un'-Optimistic
We have discussed at length the slowing forward expectations for the next 12 months EPS of the S&P 500 and while every long-only equity strategist enjoys the same talking points of record profits, margins, global growth, and cash-on-the-sidelines, it seems Goldman is increasingly skewing back to a sense of reality. At cycle turns, analysts are always the 'most' wrong with their Birinyi-like extrapolations but a cautious outlook with expectations of a de minimus equity market over the next 12 months leaves Goldman rightly concerned that margins are peaking as consensus sees them growing and multiples will drop as policies remain volatile.
An S&P 500 target of 1200 for Dec11 and 1300 for Dec12 and a focus on quality, dividends, and defensives doesn't sound like the high beta momo double-bogey performance-chasing we have seen in the last few weeks is sustainable. Furthermore, their perspective on the October rally is it reflects a drop in the cost of equity as opposed to better fundamentals.
In one of the most complete (and truthy) discussions we have seen recently (and expanding on the note we discussed in late September), GS notes forward EPS reductions, high correlations, fund under-performance, and basic fundamentals around the business cycle - as well as indicating growing areas of concern.
A topic often discussed here recently is the accelerating drop in consensus EPS for next year that seems to be ignored by all and every top-down strategist's projections for equity exposure.
P/E multiples are another side of the valuation coin and given uncertainties, GS is hardly positive:
And finally, some perspective on the huge October rally, that GS believes is more reflective of the low cost of equity than any improvement in fundamentals - and given the performance post-early October, WACCs have retraced.

I don't know... Maybe 50% gold and 50% cash FRN$ for any new money coming in...
This was also my investment plan beginning Q2 2011, but being payed in zEURos I have thereafter adjusted my plan to lean more towards PMs. I now only keep enough cash to comfortably go from pay-day to pay-day, plus a little emergency fund, for just in case.
I split investments approx:
- Stocks (Growth, Defensive)
- Commodities (Softs, PMs)
- Property (Residential, Commercial)
- Bonds (Corporate, Sovereign)
- Cash (Foreign, Domestic)
If you consider where been and what you think is coming. You can take your picks from the list, they've all got different characteristics, some characteristics will protect your wealth in the future and some won't.
Growth stocks: P/E (DOW) is cratering from a 2000 high of about 40. Is that going to bounce back? Um, "Growth" is growth in credit... We're mostly all tapped out there until the Central Banks go an order of magnitude bigger on QE and wipe out debt holders through inflation. So no (western) Growth stocks for me. Buh bye Apple.
Defensive stocks: Dividend yields are about as low as they've ever been... seems likely to increase again. Kind of interesting, but only for already low p/e stocks which will definitely be able to push dividends up cos p/e is heading down not up.
Commodities: ..... etc etc.
I'm not going to do it for you. Take a look at generational charts, they can give you a map of where we've been and you can equate that to why. Then look at today and translate that into where we're probably going. Need to get off the today, tomorrow and next quarter mindset, the trends to catch run for decades. You can try fighting them head on, and most will cos they don't know any better but I reckon it's best not to be standing in front of the freight train as it comes. Strategic (interrelated) themes being: Energy peak, Debt crisis, West -> East (China), Boomer retirement.
The best analysis I've seen has been here on ZH but overall it's a bit balkanised and tends to be micro as opposed to macro; lots of noise.
On the other hand: Argentum Bitchezzz!!!!!!!!!!
where to invest?
the glass is half-broken!
Hey Kostin, what's the matter, no Maiden Lane "assets" for Goldman to pump up to its idiot "clients" while Goldman takes the opposite side of the trade, shorting shit all the way down a la "shitty deal" Abacus while Goldman's "clients" take it in the ass? Richard Perry's going to be extremely disappointed. How ever will GS afford $1MM bonuses while pushing utilities returning 4%?
But who cares. Time to get those end-year self-evaluations in, in yet another stupid ritual where utterly worthless investment bankers and traders proclaim how wonderful their GS "team" performed, delivering extraordinary results to the "franchise." If I was Blankfein, I'd tell each and every one of you to shut the fuck up: Goldman Sachs invents nothing, creates nothing, and does nothing that is productive.
GS bankers: epitome of a stunningly worthless skillset, which is moving money in circles and betting opposite your clients and public reccomendations, making journal entries at each turn and collecting a fee. Oh, you have some new balance-sheet "technology" to sell me a la Enron, Worldcom, Qwest, Abacus, Timberwolf, or Magnetar? Yeah, let's ask the EU how well your advice worked out, masking debt while you shorted Greek paper. Go fuck yourselves.
well put.
This sort of comment from GS is very bullish. It means they are short CMG, LULU, etc. and maybe even commodities. They don't give away free advice as god's work. They are talking their book undoubtedly.
where to invest? GOLD, MAN!
Deflation-inlation-deflation will actually change places in the USA periodically starting from q4 2011:

FDIC loan loss sharing details are a total taxpayer ripoff to big money types and billionaires like Soros, Dell, GS execs. Look up OneWest Bank started by those guys. FDIC sold them a portfolio at up to 50% discount and the FDIC backs up to 90% of losses, not based on what OneWest paid, but the ORIGINAL amount of loans. OneWest makes more money not working out any loans and letting them foreclose and cashing in from the FDIC.

Although Doppler radar has been transformative, it is not perfect. It leaves meteorologists like Forsyth blind to the shape of a given particle, which can distinguish, say, a rainstorm from a dust storm. Ironically, the trajectory of his career path changed when a failed eye exam led him from U.S. Air Force pilot ambitions to a career in meteorology. Since then, Forsyth has focused on radar upgrades that give forecasters a better view of the atmosphere.
One critical upgrade is called dual polarization. This technology allows forecasters to differentiate more confidently between types of precipitation and amount. Although raindrops and hailstones may sometimes have the same horizontal width—and therefore appear the same in Doppler radar images—raindrops are flatter. Knowing the difference in particle shape reduces the guesswork required by a forecaster to identify features in the radar scans. That understanding helps to produce more accurate forecasts, so residents know they should prepare for hail and not rain, for example.
Information about particle size and shape also helps to distinguish airborne bits of debris lofted by tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, so meteorologists can identify an ongoing damaging storm. Particle data are especially important when trackers are dealing with a tornado that is invisible to the human eye. If a tornado is cloaked in heavy rainfall or is occurring at night, dual polarization can still detect the airborne debris.
The National Weather Service is integrating dual-polarization technology—which is also helpful for monitoring precipitation in hurricanes and blizzards—into all 160 Doppler radars across the nation, expecting to finish by mid-2013. At the same time, NOAA personnel are training forecasters to interpret the new images. The Weather Forecast Office in Newport/Morehead City, N.C., was the first to scan a tropical cyclone using such radar when Hurricane Irene made landfall in North Carolina in 2011. During that storm, dual-polarization radars proved more accurate in detecting precipitation rates, and therefore predicting flooding, than conventional Doppler radars farther north. The improved capabilities surely saved lives in the Carolinas; farther up the coast, without this technology, Hurricane Irene was deadlier despite early warnings, claiming nearly 30 lives.
NOAA research meteorologist Pam Heinselman believes another advanced radar technology used by the U.S. Navy to detect and track enemy ships and missiles has great potential to improve weather forecasting as well. Heinselman leads a team of electrical engineers, forecasters and social scientists at the National Weather Radar Testbed in Norman, Okla., focused on a technology called phased-array radar.
Current Doppler radars scan at one elevation angle at a time, with a parabolic dish that is mechanically turned. Once the dish completes a full 360-degree slice, it tilts up to sample another small sector of the atmosphere. After sampling from lowest to highest elevation, which during severe weather equates to 14 individual slices, the radar returns to the lowest angle and begins the process all over again. Scanning the entire atmosphere during severe weather takes Doppler radar four to six minutes.
In contrast, phased-array radar sends out multiple beams simultaneously, eliminating the need to tilt the antennas, decreasing the time between scans of storms to less than a minute. The improvement will allow meteorologists to "see" rapidly evolving changes in thunderstorm circulations and, ultimately, to more quickly detect the changes that cause tornadoes. Heinselman and her team have demonstrated that phased-array radar can also gather storm information not currently available, such as fast changes in wind fields, which can precede rapid changes in storm intensity.
Heinselman and others believe phased-array technology alone could extend tornado warnings to more than 18 minutes, but much more research and development needs to be done. Ideally, the phased-array system would have four panels that emitted and received radio waves, to provide a 360-degree view of the atmosphere—one each for the north, south, east and west. Researchers in Norman have made only one-panel systems operable for weather surveillance, and it is likely to be at least a decade before phased arrays become the norm across the country.

If I get student loans in the amount of 34900.00, and put into a checking account (private student loan) is this income that I have to report?
8 thoughts on "Are Student Loans considered income to the IRS?"
No it is a LOAN. You will have to report and gains from it, such as interest etc.
I am Canadian, but I am 100% sure that student loans are not considered income here, and I seriously doubt they would be considered income down there! The government usually tries to give students a break!
No, a loan is not income.
No, but if you use the money for anything other than school (tuition, books, etc.) you have to report the money as income on Line 21 of your tax return.
Yes and no, If you use the loan as for tution, it will not be concider income. But it does however help you use the intrest you pay as a deduction later on. And for now that your in school and u use it toward tution and books, it help you apply for a education credit on taxes. Yes it's income if you use it for boarding expenses and personal needs.
No the loan is not income. You should receive a form at the end of the year stating how much interest you paid to the financial institution you are paying the money back to and that is a credit on your tax return. Any interest you EARN on the money is taxable and you should receive a 1099-int from the financial institution you have the money in IF it is an interest bearing account. Check out the irs.gov website. There are many deductions and credits for college students.
A loan, student loan or not, is not income no matter what you use it for – a loan means you have to pay it back.
If you default on a loan and the lender writes it off, then you could become liable for tax on the amount written off since it could be considered as income.

Big Data: Store Everything And Watch Storage Grow11/17/2010
One of the big stories from the Teradata Partners conference that just finished up in San Diego was the huge advantage that retailers gain by the tracking the buying actions of their customers online and the enormous impact that's going to have on your storage assets in the years ahead. Business managers can't predict what questions they want to ask about their customers and can't say which collected data is useful or not. The answer is to store it all.

Happy Sunday Bonita Springs
Fort Myers Rodeo on Bayshore
Near Bonita Springs ... We went to "Saturday Night Live" at the Lee County Posse Grounds on Bayshore Drive in North Fort Myers Florida for the Rodeo. These boys were fascinated with the rodeo clown who was dishing out free advice on the rails. It was a good time and something different to do. The drive is only about 20-30 minutes up the interstate from Bonita Springs, Florida. If you'd like to learn more about attending the rodeo visit: leecountyposse.com

"I Love You. Did I Just Say That . . . Out Loud??"
I'd had nightmares about standing up in church and uncontrollably bellowing no-no words, but I never expected this. Without a blip of warning my mouth hijacked the controls and blurted it out. The first hint I had of what was going on was the sound of my voice crashing into my eardrums.
I love you.
It would have been nice if you said it first. Then again, it would have been nice if I had given you the chance.
These days, those three words usually come with an extra phrase or two, like "I love you, babe, AND NO YOU MAY NOT SUCK ON HIS FACE!" or "Love ya. Muah! Cat food is not a toy, Micah!" Parenting has changed almost everything about our lives, but it hasn't changed this: I am crazy in love with you. How could I not be?
You're the kind of guy that nose-nurses until you get blisters . . .
Catches puke like it's going out of style
Keeps a coffee date for two years running
Keeps This Photo As His Screen Saver At Work
And Is The Preferred Pillow For The Whole Household
Oh, and you rock a nursing cover like nobody's business
I said it first and I'll say it now: I love you, Daddypotamus! You're a phenomenal dad, and we're going to dogpile you with kisses now.
Happy Father's Day

Nice Pet Supply Store
posted 6 years ago
I've shopped at this store many times. It's not a large store, but they have a nice variety of pet products. Their prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. I love the location, as it is right on Route 206 in a strip mall with other stores.
Pros: Convenient location, decent selection of products
Cons: none

Maternal investment can play an important role for offspring fitness, especially in birds, as females have to provide their eggs with all the necessary nutrients for the development of the embryo. It is known that this type of maternal investment can be influenced by the quality of the male partner. In this study, we first verify that male song is important in the mate choice of female Eurasian reed warblers, as males mate faster when their singing is more complex. Furthermore, female egg investment varies in relation to male song characteristics. Interestingly, clutch size, egg weight, or size, which can be considered as an high-cost investment, is not influenced by male song characteristics, whereas comparably low-cost investment types like investment into diverse egg components are adjusted to male song characteristics. In line with this, our results suggest that female allocation rules depend on investment type as well as song characteristics. For example, egg white lysozyme is positively correlated with male song complexity. In contrast, a negative correlation exists between-song speed and syllable repetitiveness and egg yolk weight as well as egg yolk testosterone concentration. Thus, our results suggest that female egg investment is related to male song performance in several aspects, but female investment patterns regarding various egg compounds are not simply correlated.

It would be very good business for Blu-Ray if Sony would give Apple a discount on Blu-Ray drives in iTV so that they could include a model of the iTV that also acted as a blu-ray player. Because Sony is discounting blu-ray drives to Apple, Apple doesn't have to charge much more to customers to include it as a secondary option for iTV, and Sony also wins because this pulls in Apple's media success to maybe lock in Blu-Ray as the champion in the DVD race, which would ultimately give Sony revenue on Blu-Ray DVD sales to make up for the at-loss drives they sold to Apple until the prices come down so that it is not at-loss anymore.

Use this calculator to calculate CHA2DS2-VASc score and risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation.
About this calculator
The CHA2DS2-VASc score can be considered an extension of the CHADS2 schema by considering additional stroke risk factors that may influence a decision whether or not to anticoagulate. When compared to the CHADS2 score, CHA2DS2-VASc performed better in predicting patients at high risk, and those categorised as low risk by CHA2DS2-VASc were truly at low risk for thromboembolism.
Warfarin anticoagulation titrated to an INR of 2.0-3.0 is recommended for the average patient with a CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2 unless contraindicated (e.g., history of frequent falls, clinically significant bleeding, inability to obtain regular INR). Either Warfarin or Aspirin can be used for the average patient with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1 depending on physician discretion and patient preference. Aspirin 325 mg daily is recommended for the average patient with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 0.

Revised 9-15-14
(a) Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) Child Support Services (CSS) establishes current child support per:
(b) CSS uses the child support guidelines in 43 O.S. §§ 118-118I and 119 to:
(c) Per 43 O.S. §§ 118-118I, CSS uses the best evidence available to determine a parent's monthly gross income for the child support computation form, including written earning records, past job history, and earning ability based on education and training, with a continued emphasis on setting child support orders that are fair and equitable. When requesting the court enter or modify child support orders in a noncustodial parent's (NCP) multiple cases, CSS may request the court deviate from the child support guidelines amounts per 43 O.S. § 118H. • 7 & • 8
(d) To establish the amount of current support, CSS considers "actual" child care expenses to be the amount paid to the child care provider by the custodial person (CP) except when (e) of this Section applies. CSS determines the amount of prospective annual child care costs and allocates this amount between the parents in the same proportion as their adjusted gross income. The amount allocated to the NCP becomes part of the fixed monthly child support obligation.
(e) When the CP is participating in the DHS Child Care Subsidy Program per 56 O.S. § 230.50, CSS uses DHS Appendix C‑4, Page 1, Child Care Eligibility/Rates Schedule, to determine the family share co-payment amount considered as actual child care costs on the child support computation form per 43 O.S. § 118G.
(f) CSS establishes child support orders in deprived court actions per 10A O.S. § 1-4-702 and prepares the child support order on the standard child support order form prescribed by CSS and published by the Administrative Office of the Courts on the Oklahoma State Courts Network website. • 10
(g) CSS establishes child support orders for a child(ren) for whom child support is imposable under applicable law. • 11
(h) When the NCP is a minor, CSS establishes paternity per Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) 340:25-5-176 when necessary and establishes a child support order. When a minor NCP or a CP is under 16 years of age, CSS does not impute gross income for the minor parent in the child support computation and only uses actual income. When a minor NCP or CP is between 16 and 18 years of age and regularly and continuously attending high school, unless it is otherwise inappropriate, CSS uses either the imputed gross income for the minor parent based on minimum wage at 20 hours per week, or actual income.
(i) CSS enforces child support orders for adults with disabilities per 43 O.S. § 112.1A.
(j) CSS establishes or modifies child support orders to continue after the child reaches the age of majority per 43 O.S. § 112.1A when the application or referral for Title IV-D services is received during the period when child support is due per 43 O.S. § 112.
(k) CSS establishes a child support and medical support order on an incarcerated NCP and requests the court order that the child support obligation begins the first day of the month following a lapse of 45 calendar days from release from incarceration. CSS requests the court reserve the amount of child support for the time period prior to the entry of the court order per OAC 340:25-5-179.1 through the time of incarceration to the date the current child support obligation begins. • 12
(l) When CSS establishes a child support order for a child of a NCP or a CP who is a servicemember, CSS applies the provisions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, codified in 50A U.S.C. §§ 501 through 596. • 13
(m) CSS does not impute gross income to a person determined disabled by the Social Security Administration. • 3 & • 5
(n) When a default order for child support has been ordered and either party contacts CSS in writing within 30 calendar days of entry of the default order and provides information to calculate an accurate child support obligation, CSS treats the request as a motion to vacate or modify and requests the court enter a new order consistent with the evidence presented. • 14 & • 15
1. Oklahoma Department of Human Services Child Support Services CSS staff must calculate, per Section 118 of Title 43 of the Oklahoma Statutes (43 O.S. § 118), on the child support computation form, each parent's contribution toward:
(1) the base child support according to the combined adjusted gross income of both parents following the child support guidelines schedule per 43 O.S. § 119;
(2) any actual medical and dental insurance premium; and
(3) any actual employment related child care expenses per 43 O.S. § 118(E)(13) and Oklahoma Administrative Code 340:25-5-178.
2. When the child(ren) is receiving monthly Social Security (SS) benefits from the noncustodial parent's (NCP) claim, either disability or retirement, the benefit is offset from current child support per 43 O.S. § 118B(G), and the remainder is offset against any cash medical support.
3. (a) When a parent or minor child is disabled and receiving monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI), CSS excludes SSI from either parent's gross income per 43 O.S. § 118(E)(2)(b).
(b) When an NCP's Social Security Disability Insurance (SSD) benefit amount or a combination of SSD and SSI benefits does not exceed the maximum monthly SSI benefit amount, CSS staff uses only the SSD amount as income and requests the court deviate from the guidelines to set the current child support at $0. In support of the deviation, CSS state's attorneys advocate the guidelines amount is unjust or inappropriate under the circumstances, because it treats a similarly situated NCP who receives only SSI benefits differently from an NCP receiving a combination of benefits that equals the SSI amount.
(1) An example of the unjust guideline amount is:
(A) an NCP with some work history receives a total of $710 in monthly Social Security benefits. This includes $350 SSD and $360 SSI benefits. Under the guidelines, child support is calculated based on the monthly $350 SSD benefit. The NCP would be ordered to pay child support because the child is not receiving a SSD benefit at this payment level.
(B) A similarly disabled NCP without work history would receive the full $710 as SSI benefits and not be ordered to pay any child support. Therefore, CSS state's attorneys request the court to deviate from the guideline computation per 43 O.S. § 118H, due to the guideline amount being unjust and inappropriate under these circumstances.
(2) The maximum monthly SSI benefit amount may be found at SSI Federal Payment Amounts webpage, at: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/cola/SSIamts.html.
4. (a) When CSS staff verifies an NCP is receiving disability through the Veterans Administration (VA) and the custodial person (CP) is receiving an apportionment of the benefits on behalf of a minor child, CSS requests the court:
(1) consider the apportionment as alternative compliance with the child support order; and
(2) calculate child support in the same manner as when SSD benefits are received on behalf of a minor child per 43 O.S. § 118B(G).
(b) CSS staff requests the court include the apportionment as part of the NCP's income.
(c) When the child support amount is:
(1) greater than the apportionment, CSS requests the court find the apportionment partially satisfied the child support obligation and the NCP pay only the amount in excess of the apportionment; or
(2) equal to, or less than the apportionment, CSS requests the court find the child support obligation is met and no additional child support amount is paid by the NCP.
(d) When the court grants the CSS request, CSS staff memorializes the court's order regarding the offset of the current child support amount by the apportionment. For example, CSS staff includes the following language in the child support order. When the child support amount is:
(1) greater than the apportionment: "The court finds the obligor is satisfying the child support obligation by the apportionment of VA benefits in the amount of $x.xx. Therefore, the obligor is ordered to pay the remaining amount of $x.xx. If at any time the apportionment is not in effect, the obligor is responsible for payment of the full, current child support as shown on the guidelines computation attached."; or
(2) equal to, or less than the apportionment: "The court finds the obligor is satisfying the child support obligation by the apportionment of VA benefits in the amount of $x.xx. Therefore, the court finds the child support obligation is met in full and no further payment by the obligor is required. If at any time the apportionment is not in effect, the obligor is responsible for payment of the full, current child support as shown on the guidelines computation attached."
5. CSS staff consults with their district office CSS state's attorneys for a legal interpretation when the amount of the monthly child support obligation in the body of an order conflicts with the amount in the child support computation form.
6. CSS staff computes the child support obligation on the basis of actual monthly gross income for an NCP or a CP who is permanently physically or mentally incapacitated per 43 O.S. § 118(E)(4)(c). The documentation required to determine if the NCP or CP is permanently physically or mentally incapacitated, includes a Social Security Administration award letter or a physician's statement affirming the:
(1) person is unable to do the work they did before and cannot adjust to other work because of a medical condition; and
(2) disability must continue or be expected to continue for at least one year or to result in death.
7. CSS staff accesses the Guidelines screen (GLS) on the CSS Oklahoma Support Information System. CSS staff may also use Form 03EN025E, Child Support Computation, and its child support guidelines computation form completion instructions, available on the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) website at http://www.okdhs.org.
8. (a) CSS staff reviews information provided by the parents to determine if a parent's earning records or other evidence of income is in accordance with the parent's prior job history. CSS staff consults with their district office CSS state's attorneys when the information provided by the parent differs significantly from the parent's known job history or earning ability.
(b) CSS applies the following hierarchy, subject to other evidence of a parent's job history or earning ability, when requesting the court determine a parent's monthly gross income.
(1) Written earning record.
(A) When a parent has a written earning record, CSS uses the:
(i) actual monthly gross income; or
(ii) average of the gross monthly income for the time actually employed during the previous three years.
(B) When a parent has a written earning record from an employer, such as a paystub or employer verification of hourly wages, CSS uses that written earning record as the parent's income in the child support computation form.
(C) When a parent has evidence of employment for the last three years, but the parent's wages are inconsistent, CSS uses the average of the last three years income.
(D) When the biological parent is receiving family assistance benefits, CSS uses the total wages listed in the Information Management System, even when it is less than minimum wage. To determine income for an individual, CSS staff follows the Training Minute: Determining Individual Income Using IV-A Screens located in the Establishment section of the Education page on the CSS InfoNet.
(2) Earning ability and no pay record. For time periods when a parent has an earning ability, but no e written pay records, CSS uses the most equitable of the minimum wage paid for a 40-hour work week or an amount of gross income a person with comparable education, training, and experience could reasonably expect to earn using either Oklahoma Wage Report from the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission's website at http://www.oesc.state.ok.us/lmi/publications/publication.asp?publD=12 or Oklahoma State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates from the United States Department of Labor website available at: www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes/ok.htm. For example, when:
(A) the parent is purposefully underemployed, CSS uses at least minimum wage in the child support computation forms; or
(B) there is information a parent is a plumber and CSS has no evidence of income, CSS may use the median hourly wage for a plumber in the child support computation form.
(3) Combination of written earning record and no pay record.
(A) When a parent has a written earning record for some months, but no written earning record for other months, CSS may apply both (2) and (3) of this subsection.
(B) For example, a parent may have a written earning record showing earnings of $6,000 in a quarter and no written earning record for the other quarters of the year. Staff inquires about the parent's earning ability for those quarters without a written earning record and may impute income for those quarters or use actual wages, according to the evidence.
(4) Reduced earning ability. CSS uses actual income when a parent has reduced earning ability due to the parent's limited education, physical or mental disability, incarceration, or other obstacle to employment, and there is evidence the parent has income of less than minimum wage for 40 hours per week. For example, when:
(A) a parent works 10 hours a week at $8 an hour, CSS uses actual income of $347.66 per month in the child support computation form;
(B) an incarcerated parent has no assets or income, CSS uses actual income of $0 per month in the child support computation form. When an NCP is incarcerated for crimes against the CP or child, CSS does not modify the order using $0 for the income; or
(C) a parent has documentation of a disability that prevents him or her from working at least 40 hours a week and is not receiving any disability benefits, CSS uses actual income, even when it is $0 per month, in the child support computation form.
(c) When establishing or modifying a child support order, CSS considers the Compliance Predictor Tool available on the Infonet. As part of the Healthy Families Initiative, The Compliance Predictor Tool is designed to encourage staff to request the court enter realistic child support orders. A realistic child support order is 20 percent or less of an NCP's gross monthly income.
9. When a CP is participating in the DHS Child Care Subsidy Program, CSS staff uses the child support guidelines computation form for child care subsidy cases.
10. (a) CSS staff requests the court establish child support orders for each parent in a deprived court action.
(b) When the parent has lost custody of more than one child and one or more of these children has a different mother or father, CSS staff requests the court deviate from the child support guidelines and set a child support order for the parent who lost custody per (c) of this Instruction.
(c) To determine the former CP's gross monthly income (Line 1 of the child support computation form), CSS staff follows 43 O.S. § 118(E)(4)(a)-(c).
(1) CSS staff calculates the child support obligation by using the former CP's gross monthly income and the average gross income amount of the other parent's in Line 1 of the child support computation form.
(2) To determine the amount to use in Line 1 for the other parent's income, CSS staff averages all of the other parents' gross incomes and divide the total by the number of the other parents.
(d) For example, a mother has three children with three different fathers. The mother's gross monthly income is $1,000 per month. Father # 1 earns $1,500 per month, father # 2 earns $1,800 per month, and father # 3 is imputed at minimum wage, or $893 per month. CSS staff totals the fathers' income ($1,500 + $1,800 + $893) to obtain a total of $4,193. This amount is divided by three to obtain an average of $1,397.66. CSS staff calculates the total child support obligation using $1,000 for the mother and $1,397.66 for the father. The mother's child support obligation would be $299.04 for three children, $254.41 for two children, and $176 for one child. If there is a prior order against this former custodial parent, a new child support order supersedes that order.
11. The age of majority varies by state. CSS staff may use the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) Online Intergovernmental Reference Guide (IRG) on the Internet at https://extranet.acf.hhs.gov/irg/welcome.html to obtain information about referrals to other states for establishment of support orders.
12. (a) In an incarcerated NCP's order, CSS staff calculates a sum certain under the child support guidelines for the current child support obligation and requests the court order that amount to begin the first day of the month following a 45 calendar day lapse after the NCP is released from incarceration.
(1) CSS staff updates the obligation on the OSIS Obligation (OBLN) screen as "A" for active or "C" for concurrent.
(2) When CSS staff updates the child page of the CSS automated Oklahoma Support Information System OBLN screen, both the "effective date" and the "from date" are calculated as the expected release date plus 45 calendar days. To determine the expected release date, CSS staff contacts the incarcerating facility and registers on VINE Link to be notified of the release.
(3) CSS staff registers on VINE Link at www.vinelink.com to be notified of the imminent release or transfer of an incarcerated NCP. When registering, staff provides the anonymous district office email address as the method of contact.
(b) For example, a child is born January 28, 2003. CSS files a paternity action April 1, 2008. The court entered an order on June 1, 2008. Current support for one child is calculated at $212 per month beginning on the first day of the month following a 45 calendar day lapse after the NCP is released from incarceration. Judgment for support from April, 2003, forward is reserved. The NCP is released from incarceration August 1, 2010. Current support begins October 1, 2010. CSS may request a judgment for the reserved time period of April, 2003, through September, 2010.
(c) For example, when an incarcerated NCP has an estimated parole date of August 1, 2010, CSS staff includes the October 1, 2010, effective date of current support in the establishment order.
13. CSS staff follows the Guide to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), available from the CSS InfoNet for procedures regarding:
(1) waivers of rights and protection under SCRA;
(2) appearance in court actions;
(3) stays of court; and
(4) default orders.
14. When a party contacts CSS within 30 calendar days to request reconsideration of a default support order, CSS staff notifies the party that he or she must make the request in writing within 30 calendar days of the entry of the default order. CSS staff provides the party with CSS pro se self-help motion to vacate.
15. After one party files a written request, CSS sets the case for hearing and notifies the parties by mail under Rule 2 of the Rules for District Courts. After considering the income information provided, CSS requests the court:
(1) dismiss or deny the motion to vacate and leave the default order in effect; or
(2) enter a new order replacing the default order.

Logic has nothing to do with "it." I've reminded my nephew-in-law of that axiom many times when we've discussed government/political decisions. Logic is based on presuppositions, and one's presuppositions virtually guarantee or skew what one will conclude using logic ... or not.
Do you believe President Obama is a great guy doing a great job? Would you like to hear about how his promises and policies have failed the American people? Probably not because, after all, President Obama is a great guy doing a great job! That's all you need to know or want to know for that matter.

BEIJING—China has pledged to allow charities, industry associations and other independent nonprofit groups to play a greater role in society, in an acknowledgement of the growing importance of groups that the authoritarian government traditionally has treated with suspicion.
Civil Affairs Minister Li Liguo said Wednesday that such groups, which China terms "social organizations," would no longer need to find government sponsors in order to obtain the official registration that grants them nonprofit status.
Li says groups will be able to register themselves directly with his ministry, though he did not provide details on how the ministry would assess applications.
Registration allows nonprofits operate legally, raise funds domestically and become eligible for tax exemptions.

Let's say, theoretically, I'm a pedophile.
I'm not stupid or evil, so I'm not gonna do anything. I'm not even gonna look at porn. I don't even look at kids in public, and anyone of whatever orientation who's been to a crowded beach knows how hard that can be.
So what the fuck should I do? Chemical castration? But I haven't DONE anything and I don't plan to. Am I obliged to tell anyone? Good way to lose friends and get the shit kicked out of me. Can I keep babysitting my friends' kids when they need a hand? After all, if I were into adult women, people wouldn't see anything wrong with leaving me alone with a couple of those.
My sex drive was put together wrong, Dan. What the fuck do I do? Live alone and hope Japan starts producing affordable sexbots before I'm too old to care?
You know, theoretically. If I were a pedophile.
Knows It's Wrong
"My heart goes out to people to whom nature has given something as powerful and as distracting as a sex drive and no healthy way to express it," says Dr. James Cantor, a psychologist and the editor in chief of the research journal Sexual Abuse. "Pedophiles are not the only folks in this position, but they are by far the most demonized, regardless of whether they have ever actually caused anyone any kind of harm."
My heart is going out to you, too, KIW. As I've written before, we should acknowledge the existence of "good pedophiles," who are burdened with a sexual interest in children but who possess the moral sense to resist acting on that interest. It's a lifelong struggle for "good pedophiles," and most manage to succeed without any emotional support—to say nothing of credit—whatsoever.
Unfortunately, science doesn't know much about pedophiles like you, pedophiles who haven't done anything, because the social stigma is so great that most nonoffending pedophiles never seek treatment. And what research has been done, says Cantor, isn't very encouraging if you're looking to free yourself from your attraction to children.
"There is no known way of turning a pedophile into a nonpedophile," says Cantor. "The best we can do is help a person maximize their self-control and to help them build an otherwise happy and productive life."
The psychotherapies that are available, says Cantor, "were designed to assist people who have already committed an offense. These therapies have less to provide to people who already have the skills and drive to keep themselves from 'acting out.'" Your best option, according to Cantor, may be the one you're clearly not too enthused about: "Castration, both chemical and physical," says Cantor, "can indeed be used to eliminate or take the edge off one's sex drive."
"Nonoffender pedophiles have told me that chemical castration has given them relief," Cantor adds. "So it's unfortunate that we use the term 'chemical castration,' which evokes all kinds of emotions. When you get right down to it, we are talking only about taking the same medication used by, for example, prostate-cancer patients—some cancers are accelerated by testosterone, so blocking testosterone is part of the treatment."
And as for babysitting …
"It is true that a regular, heterosexual man is not going to commit an offense against every woman he finds attractive; however, most women are capable of recognizing when an interaction is starting to go south. Most children are not. So although there is every reason to believe that there exist cats that can successfully be in charge of the canary, it's not a good idea for the cat to be the one making that call."
So no babysitting for you, KIW—to protect the kids, first and foremost, but yourself as well. If it ever comes out that you are a pedophile and you were in the habit of babysitting-without-touching, your friends are unlikely to take your protestations—you've never touched a child—at face value.
"I wish I had better news," concludes Cantor. "I also wish that more people did good research on this so that one day I could have better news to give."
One of the reasons given for the nomination of Pope John Paul II for sainthood is that he "whipped himself with a belt, even on vacation," according to a new book. If that's what it takes, why isn't David Carradine a saint? What is the link between Catholicism and sadomasochism? As a former seminarian, perhaps you can explain this.
When Holiness Is Painful
First, I was in the preparatory seminary—a high school for boys considering the priesthood—not a full-blown seminary, WHIP. (I stopped considering the priesthood when it dawned on me that I could still wear dresses, fuck boys, and live in a big house filled with Catholic kitsch without becoming a priest.)
"Paedophilia destroys innocence, childhoods, and lives. There is no such thing as a good paedophile. The 'theoretical' paedophile is not a paedophile if he has no thoughts on molesting, any more than Dan Savage is a theoretical woman."
"Interesting hypothetical. Here's another.
Lets say a man - an ordinary, good, man, has a button. This button, is connected to a series of detonators, each wired with explosives, inside the heads of 5 random people all over the world. The man with the button has no knowledge of who these people are, where they are, or what they do - they are total strangers to him, and he has no way of ever knowing who they are, until he presses that button.
Now, this man says he doesn't wish to ever use the button. He resists the urge to use the button, as he knows full well the button would hurt people. But he has a sick urge to press that button. He says he can supress it, but you know he's tempted to push it every day of his life.
I'm asking he get rid of the button.
There is nothing good to be gained from the button. There is no way he can use the button to help someone, it can only be used to hurt people. He says he doesn't want to hurt people, so why does he need the button?"
"You people make me sick, he is a pedophile because thats what he's attracted to, not that's hurt anyone. You think he should be locked up? What about every man that ever thought, "god I'd love to see that woman naked," is he also a rapist now? This isnt hard to understand, if he didnt commit a crime, and is keeping himself in control, he does NOT belong in jail nor is he to be detested. He is asking for help and clearly deserves it, have some compassion.
Grow the fuck up you asshats."
"The button is not him, its his sexual urges. Chemical castration will get rid of the button, with no major effects to any other area of his life. It will also take a load off his mind, because if, as he claimed, he does not wish to ever act on these urges, chemical castration will remove his urge to."
"Theoretically, if someone were to be a pedophile, then the right thing to do would be to tattoo their forehead, describing themselves as such, so that parents would know who to protect their children from. Theoretically. Then if hypothetically speaking, some poor child were victimized, it would be easier to find the person to castrate. Theoretically. Poor sick wack-job!"
"If you think you will harm a kid, do whatever it takes to permanently and irrevocably stop yourself. Period.
I don't envy those whose deviant urges can potentially devastate the lives of others, but clearly the vast majority do not restrain themselves. Such is the nature of perversion; perverse individuals are driven to express their foul urges with extreme frequency and variety. Whether the gay circuit or child porn rings, deviants are never satisfied with occasional expressions of their urges. It must be constant and thus the danger to society. Print that if you dare."
"All you people commenting are fucked up in the head and need mental help and consoling. Pedophiles are not bad— they just like children, like how other children likes children and how parents like their children. Studies show that the most common pedophiles are aged 12—15. Yeah, go casturate your 12 year old son, you sick fuck. Pedophiles are not a threat to harm, child molesters are, so find a moelester and do your dirty work. And I guess you should also casturate all the gays too because if you are gay, it's a mental disease. Grow up and your head out of your ass, pedophiles are awesome and they run your local YMCA so holla up in the hood ;)"
"Actually I know some pedophiles, my babysitter, Jerry confessed to me that he is a pedophile after a while because he cares about the safety and security of my little Emily and I appreciate that he told me so. I still use him regularly because Emily is so fond if him and they many fun games together and now she actually enjoys bath time, which is a miracle; she always hated bath time and to physically undress her and get her in the tub was like bloody murder and now she undresses by herself so easily. She gets so excited for this bath time she and Jerry play together in the tub, but she wont tell me what It is, it's a secret she says So all in all they are ok in my book."
"Dan Savage is a sick, angerous invidivual. He is not pursuing "human rights" or "equality" in the true sense, but lives for the day when the homosexual agenda in all its ever demanding, sick, sadistic, self-centered, narcissistic glory is successfully implemented into every facet of society. Pedophilia is a mental disorder, as is homosexuality. Many homosexuals (but not all) are pedophiles. NAMBLA, the most vile organization in the USA, is regularly defended pro bono by the ACLU, the second most evil organization in the USA.
Let us never forget 10 year old Jeffrey Curely, who was stalked, abducted, molested, tortured, mutilated, then strangled by Charles Jaynes and Salvatore Sicari, on October 1, 1997. Earlier that dasy the two homosexual sickos accessed NAMBLA's website at the Boston Public Library. The ACLU rushed to defend them and NAMBLA. The case was dismissed on a terchnicality. pedohpiles are dangerous. They MUST be removed from society for the good of our children."
"The real sick and evil monsters are the people who think this man should be thrown in jail. He hasn't done anything wrong and doesn't plan too"
"I do not agree with castration for pedophiles because as a straight male, I know my libido serves more useful functions to my daily living than the urge for sexual relations. Libido also works as a stimulant in helping one get up and out of bed, have work-related ambitions, think up great academic ideas, and you will even see most focus-related prescription medications have the side effect of increasing libido. I would argue that there is another option besides eliminating the libido of a pedophile; it's to channel that energy in a more positive way. Also I bet there are pedophiles out there who can actually, in part because of their biology, sincerely care for children in a way that is actually beneficial to them. Michael Jackson was one of them."
"Fuck all of you....I'm 16 and a pedophile. I'm no rapist and I don't have the urge to rape. Those who do have that urge to hurt a kid are fucked up and should be hanged instantly or in a mental institution away from everyone else. That being said, why the fuck are you guys demonizing something you know nothing about. You guys are fucked up for that, the reason I have not one person in the world to confess to is cause of people like you. Saying I want to rape a kid without knowing is offensive. It's like saying "oh that model has a cute butt" is equivalent to saying "I want to...do fucked up rape stuff to her"
It's not fuckin right, I never would consider hurting a kid but people I never met think I would if I happen to babysit or anything. Just makes me feel....depressed. That the whole world would probably want a bullet in the back of my head if they heard the small insignificant part of me that happens to be a pedo....fuck you guys ._."
"I'm pedo and proud. I'm also an elementary teacher with a great record and a higher moral compass than most people you'll ever meet.
I think I'm in the prime of my life, and even the suggestion that all pedophiles should seek help is annoying to me. If you don't like that we're everywhere you go and many of us are people you talk to on a daily basis, then you should probably be the one seeking help because we're not going anywhere."
"I am completely against pedophiles but all of you are cruel individuals who don't understand the concept of humanity, decency, and love. This person recognizes a flaw and is seeking help and you attacked him...which is why he seeks help here on an anonymous site.
I am a teacher at a school for abused kids and everyday I wish that the parents could have had the emotional support they needed when they were younger to have been better parents and not put their kids into the dire, hopeless situations they are now in. At least this person WANTS help."

compile from the terminal ok but error running from terminal

Howdy (I've always wanted to say that (and mean it) from some strange reason),
I'de first like to say that this site is awsome, I love the theme and with all these
experts around, I am wondering if I can hang my hat for a little while (ok, enough with the silliness(SP?), I am aware that it can annoy some grumpy folks after a while :-)).
Ok, down to business. I have the JDK 5.0 release 7 and I have it installed in just one folder away from my lettered drive on Windows XP, for example; (F:\Java). When I edit source code through a text editor and then compile it through the terminal it seems to compile fine and I get a pretty little class file afterwords. However, the trouble comes when I try and run the program with the 'java' command. I get a weird error? message. It reads as follows:
Exception in thread "main"
: helloWorld
Of course in this example I used helloWorld as the name of the class that I was trying to run. It's not the code, at least I don't think so because my Mac runs the same code on the same JDK (just a different release, release 5) perfectly. This is not just isolated to one incedent either, it happens every time.
Because of my problem (well not the entire reason, I love eclipse), I am using eclipse and ofcourse with eclipse, everything works perfectly but it just erks me that I can't run my classes/apps from the terminal on my wondows machine. I also have a windows laptop but I am affraid to edit the path variables on that machine as well for fear that I might screw it up in the same way. I am new to the Windows Environment, having come back to windows because of .NET around a year ago but other than that I am used to *nix platforms such as Linux and OS X so my knowledge of windows is slim. Does anyone know what's wrong? I tried to look up:
in Java in a Nutshell (latest edition) and I can't seem to find anything about it, as if it doesn't exsist?
Please excuse my ignorance, I am brand spanking new to Java but not to programming (some C (old school, lol I'm 25y/o, what am I doing talking about old school?), .NET, Python and ActionScript) If anyone could help, I would be very greatful and extremely happy. (I'll have my itch scatched, you know the one the is starting to sting a little.) No really, I would be very greatful for a fix to my seemingly small but notoriously big problem. Thanks in advance
You can contact me through this e-mail.

Most likely you have a problem with your CLASSPATH.
You need to make sure that the directory containing your .class file is in your CLASSPATH.
Try this
java -cp . helloWorld
Are you sure the name of the class is helloWorld?
Remember that you have to have the exact name.

Hello Matt, welcome to the forums.
Try typing in "NoClassDefFoundError" in Google. You'll find that it's one of the pitfalls that almost all new Java programmers hit.
In addition to that, in my signature (below this message) there is a link to The Java Tutorial. It's a very useful online tutorial, and the "Hello World" example there explains exactly what this error means and what you have to do about it.
Have fun with Java.

Thanks guys,
Keith, so my workspace (whichever that may be) has to be named in my CLASSPATH?
Jesper, I am still going through the links in your signature. I still havent found anything on the issue at hand (but I have just looked through briefly.) I got it to work by putting my workspace or the folder containing my source and class file in my CLASSPATH variable, However, I had to delete the the package name in the source file in order for it to work.
I agree. Here's the link:
