I finally had enough. I went to the police station - had to push the officer to write it up. He's going on about how it just sounds like he wants to see B. I had to drag out all of the paperwork showing how he hasn't showed at the dates or mediation, etc. He went to check the details of the harrassment law and sure enough since I have explictly told him he can not contact me, only the lawyer and I'm in the right. I have to go to the courthouse tomorrow with the "sealed envelope" and give it to the clerk. We'll get a court date and both go before the judge. I'm pretty sure my lawyer can also prove stalking based on what he wrote to the social worker. I just want all of this over with!
Another interesting tibit - he claims he's not working, but I googled a few things. Found he has 2 new phone numbers and addresses at PO boxes for the business + he's running ads to race his race car for the 2009 season. - No income my ass!

I'm obsessed with my new floral J. Brand jeans. (Seriously. Instagramming a picture of my legs in them now.)
They're the perfect summer pant to roll up with Supergas and a cotton t-shirt, but can easily transition into fall with a big slouchy sweater and boots. They're also SO comfortable—I want to wear them every day. Do you think anyone will notice?

It's said you can never be too rich or too thin, but new research suggests otherwise. People who are clinically underweight face an even higher risk for dying than obese individuals, the study shows.
Compared to normal-weight folks, the excessively thin have nearly twice the risk of death, researchers concluded after reviewing more than 50 prior studies.
Obesity has occupied center stage under the public health spotlight, but "we have an obligation to ensure that we avoid creating an epidemic of underweight adults and fetuses who are otherwise at the correct weight," said study leader Dr. ...

Kidder, Peabody Case Impels a Closer Look at Securities Industry WALL STREET ETHICS
Guy Halverson, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
THE multibillion-dollar securities industry is finding itself in its least favorite setting: in the glare of media attention. This is thanks to increasing concerns about ethical standards within the industry, as well as more tepid growth in both corporate earnings and the United States national economy.
Last week, General Electric Company removed the top management of its investment-house subsidiary, Kidder, Peabody & Co., bringing in a new team of GE officials. Kidder's chief executive officer, Michael Carpenter, is out. GE's chief financial officer, Dennis Dammerman, is in. Mr. Dammerman will run Kidder in the summer and through part of the fall; Denis Nayden, also a top GE official, will take over the investment house later in the fall.
The changes at Kidder come after the firm's top government bond trader, Joseph Jett, was fired. Mr. Jett allegedly conducted up to $350 million in bogus trades at Kidder. GE investigators are trying to determine whether Jett acted alone or in concert with other Kidder employees.
Although brokerage-house officials are reluctant to comment publicly on the case, the changes at Kidder clearly have sent repercussions throughout the industry. "Every firm will tighten its {ethics} compliance programs because of what's happened at Kidder," says Dean Eberling, who follows the securities industry for investment house Prudential Securities Inc. in New York.
"The Kidder {scandal} raises questions, not so much about compliance programs per se, but internal accounting systems," says veteran Wall Street analyst Perrin Long Jr., an official of First of Michigan Corporation. "Compliance programs have been gradually tightened now for the past decade."
Mr. Long recalls the insider-trading scandals of the mid-to-late 1980s. "In addition, investment houses have tightened their {ethics} programs because of the increasing number of arbitration suits" brought against securities firms by clients who feel that they have not received full earnings or profits on their investments.
Many of the past junk-bond and insider-trading scandals involved what were considered "go-go investment houses," including Drexel Burnham Lambert, and E. …

Now without further delay I will turn your call over to Mr. Bob Ready.
Bob Ready
Thank you. Good morning everybody. As you are probably aware of the fact, we really don't have any slides this morning. We felt that the conference call this morning should be really more of a Q&A, but as always there is a lot of information on our webpage and financial results are there as well, later today. So that you guys, people can follow-up on that and is always will be available as well.
I think somebody just chipped on-board there, we were having some international technology problems with Fred out of Canada. Fred, are you on-board?
That was his line with the hold music. One moment.
Bob Ready
Okay. Well anyway. As an opening my comments are obviously very-very straight forward as it relates to the economy. It's obviously a very-very tough time out there. No surprises to anybody.
LSI is in a very-very straight forward direction. We really [batted] down one of the hatches, so to speak. And really structuring our business plan around the expected volume, as we understand it today.
The automotive industry as we all know is in rather dire straights. The trade show that we have coming up in February will give us some more indication of how the dealers are really faring. But there is no question that for time being we'll see a very, very slowdown direction in the automotive industry.
The retail economy, it speaks for itself based on the results of Christmas, as we all know that Christmas season is the area that the retailers depend on most for their year. And as we all know that was a very, very tough year for the retailers.
Our national account business all of our primary customers are more or less on a wait and see attitude. It is just tough out there, the commercial/industrial business continues to shrink, there is certainly an indication by the announcement of some of our competitors in the directions that they are taking.
For LSI, my guidance to our management team and to the rest of our employees is to really focus in two areas. The two areas obviously are at the continuation of keeping our balance sheet strong, this is a commandment here, has been for 32 years. And everybody understands that, that is our goal. We can accomplish it in many ways and certainly the efforts that are in place now to align our company through the existing markets and the volume of those markets is in place.
The second part of the direction is obviously to do the best we can to improve the bottom line and we're doing it in a manner that will not cut the heart out of this company.
Its my personal opinion based on history, that with our large customer base and certainly the efforts that we have put forth in the years to build that relationship, build that confidence with our large customers that LSI is the kind of company that can handle the best and the diverse. The diversity that comes into an economy like we are experiencing now and we've proven that many times before and we'll prove that to them again.
What's more interesting I think about some of this is that we are beginning to see some of our competitors on a fall to the wayside. Just couple of weeks ago one of our larger competitors in the graphics business filed Chapter 7.
Those are indications of I am sure it's still worst to come. And from our perspective I think it does open opportunity even more so than during our best years of increasing our market share, and developing a direction with our customer base like they've never seen before. The ability to supply lighting and graphics, and influence that with technology, and last but not least our ability to install.
It is important to note that even as tough as the market is out there, there is a lot of dialog going on with some of our larger customers. I am not in a position to share it by name, or even by market because things would obviously be put together to-on-to. But it's encouraging that people are now starting to look at things and look at things a little bit differently and if history proves itself as it has in the past. When this starts to come back this pent-up need will break out. And it's so important that LSI maintains its capability, its financial stability to react to those needs and get our company back on a strong growth direction as we were prior to this.
It's also important to remember that we are in the last quarter now of all those major roll-out programs that were successful in later part of '07 and '08 that will be behind us and as we start to move forward that ability to match that, obviously will be behind us.
What we are going to do this morning is, I am going to turn the meeting over to Scott. Scott Ready is the President of our Lighting Group. And then we will talk to David, and if we can find Fred, we'll even have Fred on-board. We will have Fred to bring you up-to-date on what we are doing on the international plans.
So, with that I would like to turn it over to Scott, and if you would Scott, kind of bring the folks up-to-date and where we are with all of our LED technology.
Scott Ready
Sure, good morning. Second quarter was really not a great surprise in any area for us. We continue to see the shrinkage not only in volume opportunity translate into some tougher pricing and margin pictures. We absorbed really, I think the remaining part of the inventory that carry a little higher material costs this second quarter, and we look forward to some hopefully favorable conditions as we move into the third quarter on that front.
What's really exciting about where we are today with everything that we have in place, is the degree of acceptance we are seeing in our solid-state lighting. Our day-to-day business will continue to be flat in the trenches as it always has been. And again, we see no reason to believe that we won't see a very similar level of volume at this point in time in a similar level of margin.
However, the improving environment for LED lighting, both improving from a customer perspective as well as from an LSI perspective, given the work that we have done to develop and translate the original platform that was introduced a year ago is really very, very encouraging right now.

HURON, S.D. – The Pierre Post 8 American Legion baseball team got off to a great start, but the finish was just the opposite as Yankton eliminated Post 8 from the South Dakota State American Legion baseball championship tournament on Friday. Colin Muth hit a three run home in the 5th inning as Yankton rallied from a 4-0 deficit to a 7-5 win on Friday. Tanner Termandsen allowed 4 runs in the first inning as Pierre scored all of their runs in the first inning. But he shut down the Post 8 squad until the 9th inning when Pierre scored a run. Alex Gray had a pair of hits for Pierre. Cooper Walton started but allowed 5 runs and took the loss. Quinn Reimers came on in relief and pitched into the 9th inning. Nick Rabern allowed two runs in the 9th that was the difference in the game. Pierre ends their season with a 19-24 record. Yankton will play the loser of the Rapid City Post 22 and Brandon Valley in an elimination game Saturday.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY? WHAT'S THAT THEN?; AN Echo Report Today Reveals What People in South Wales REALLY Think of the National Assembly. Here's Your Shock Verdict, Region by Region, on the People Who Represent You in Cardiff Bay
Byline: Chris Herdman, Steve Tucker, Mike Taggart, Sarah Welsh, Laura Nicklin, Kathryn Summers, Peter Collins, Wayne Nowaczyk, Abby Alford, Louise Day, Sian Harris, Jackie Bow, Wendy Horton, Jean Parry
ALMOST three years after the birth of the National Assembly, six out of 10 people in South Wales do not know who their own Assembly Member is.
An Echo survey has revealed 57.5 per cent of people polled had no idea who is representing them in Cardiff Bay.
And just 8.25 per cent of voters could tell us the names of four or more cabinet members at the assembly - people with a massive say over education, health and the economy of Wales.
But the same voters who didn't know who was representing them in Cardiff did not want to see the assembly abolished.
Nearly two-thirds told us that they wanted to keep the assembly - significantly more than the 50-50 vote in the 1997 devolution referendum.
And Rhodri Morgan's profile is high among those the Echo questioned.
More than two-thirds of voters - 68 per cent - could name Mr Morgan as the assembly's First Minister when quizzed by our reporters.
But while 100 per cent of those questioned in Mr Morgan's own constituency of Cardiff West knew he was the assembly's first minister, 70 per cent did not know that he was also their AM.
The Echo's survey also highlights major differences in attitudes within the regions of South Wales.
Voters in Cardiff, who voted "no" in the 1997 devolution referendum, are still lukewarm - at best - about the institution still taking shape in the Bay.
A majority - 44 per cent against 43 per cent - still want to see the assembly abolished.
A comment typical of Cardiff voters came from Robert Holley, of Radyr.
He said: "The assembly is another unnecessary level of bureaucracy and a waste of public money."
But in the Valleys, the assembly is proving more popular.
A resounding 75 per cent of people in the Merthyr Tydfil and Rumney, Pontypridd, Rhondda, Caerphilly and Cynon Valley constituencies said they wanted to keep Wales's first-ever directly elected national body, while 70 per cent knew who their AM was.
Paul O'Neill, from Treharris, told the Echo: "The assembly is a good idea - we've just got to give it more time to come up with the goods."
RHONDDA AND TAFF ELY FAR from perfect, but the National Assembly may be worth keeping in the long-term - that's the verdict of most people in Rhondda and Taff Ely.
Three years after its birth in Cardiff Bay, the assembly is known much better for what it gets wrong than right. Nine out of 10 people could name some disaster.
Respondents said the assembly was, variously, too busy with its own problems; squabbling over its privileges; all talk no action; making a fiasco over buildings; failing to get Westminster money to trigger Objective One spending, among other things, and too focused on Cardiff.
Few had intimate knowledge or interest in assembly affairs. As student Chris Lloyd, 24, from Llantwit Fardre said: "I wouldn't recognise one of their cabinet members if they stood up in my soup!"
Nigel Griffiths, 40, of Pontypridd said the assembly's greatest achievement was "getting established", and market trader June Roberts, 51, sagely added: "I believe in a Welsh assembly - just not this one."
CAERPHILLY THEY MAY openly grumble a lot about it, but most people in the Caerphilly constituency want to hang on in there with the National Assembly.
Of the 20 questioned, 14 emphatically said "no" when asked whether the assembly should be abolished.
Generally, their reasoning is that we have come this far and spent so much money that to cut loose now would be even more of a disaster.
Father-of-four Rhys Morris, 40, of Bedwellty Road, Aberbargoed said:
"The people of Wales deserve a voice. …

According to a recent study commissioned by Grand & Toy, a popular Canadian office products retailer, the average office desk contains up to 400 times more germs and bacteria than a toilet seat.
Yes, you read that correctly -- that same desk you lay your hands on (and perhaps eat snacks at) each day.
The good news is you can help reduce the number of germs at your desk by regularly cleaning your most used items -- likely your mouse, keyboard, and phone -- as well as keeping a bottle of hand sanitizer nearby to apply after using the bathroom, eating lunch, or after a cigarette break.
Keyboard cleanliness
Keeping your desktop clean isn't just for reducing germs that can cause illness but to keep your computer equipment working properly, says Ken Newman, spokesman for Falcon Safety Products, the Branchburg, N.J.-based manufacturer and marketer of Dust-Off consumer electronics cleaning products.
"Regularly cleaning maintains the performance of the product," explains Newman. "You probably eat at your desk and crumbs fall in between the keys, as does dust and other particles, so you should clean underneath every so often to avoid the keys from sticking."
Newman says to hold your keyboard on its side and take a compressed gas duster, which costs between $5 and $10 for a 10-ounce can, and then deliver a series of pressurized blasts in between the keys. "You'll be amazed at what comes out."
Not mousing around
For the top of a mouse, keyboard, or phone, Newman says to use a disinfectant wipe, also offered in the Dust-Off line of products.
In a pinch, even a baby wipe will do, suggests Mike Rogers, product marketing manager for hardware at Microsoft, in Redmond, Wash. "Believe it or not baby wipes work well, or even a clean and slightly damp -- not wet -- cloth can clean away any residue on your mouse."
"The issue boils down to germs and performance," mirrors Rogers, "so anywhere you've got contact, you should keep it clean." Rogers says Newman's suggestion on compressed air or gas for underneath the keyboard is a good one, too "but just a couple of times a year is probably fine."
Other computer parts
- Rogers says it's also a good idea for people to clean out the dust that often gets trapped inside a desktop computer's fan -- especially when the tower is kept on the floor, perhaps underneath a desk. "People with allergies might do this, but dust stuck in the fan can also affect your computer performance as the PC might get too hot without proper ventilation," he says.
- A monitor can be cleaned to remove dust, but you need to be cautious about what kind of material you're using to avoid possible damage. Be sure to first unplug the monitor from the wall socket before spraying a special LCD or CRT microfiber material or using pre-moistened wipes. When in doubt, check with the monitor manufacturer for recommended products.
- Some products were designed for those concerned about germs. Belkin, for example, recently introduced a completely washable mouse. Fellowes' line of PC accessories, such as mice and keyboards, feature Microban antimicrobial protection. Paper Mate's new FlexGrip pen with anti-germ coating includes an antibacterial surface designed to protect the pen's surface.
"Cleanliness will help keep you healthy while also providing you with a workstation that won't give you too many performance frustrations," concludes Newman.

Call of Duty: Ghosts launch-day shipments were down on last year's game, Black Ops 2, and the console transition is to blame, Activision has said.
The publisher confirmed earlier today that retailers has spent $1 billion on Call of Duty: Ghosts stock for last week's launch - as opposed to using actual sales figures as it has done in previous years. Even this figure, however, is down on last year, and the publisher is blaming the volatility of the console transition.

Enchanted Garden Wreath
This one caught our attention because it's so lush and colorful (if you can say that about dried flowers and foliage). It's composed of an abundance of dried blooms in yellow, deep blue, and violet shades against the mix of sage and white tones of Hydrangea, Caspia flowers, and Winged Everlasting. You can't walk past these rich blends of colors and textures without stopping to admire it. Approximately 14" in diameter.

the first round is tonight.
I'm not sure about 1A, 2A, and 3A but here are the 4A matchups.
Dowling (10-0) hosts DM East (7-3)
Marshalltown (10-0) hosts Waukee (7-3)
Iowa City High (10-0) hosts Hempstead (8-2)
Clinton (10-0) hosts Cedar Falls (8-2)
Ankeny (9-1) hosts Johnston (6-4)
Linn-Mar (9-1) hosts CR Xavier (8-2)
Urbandale (8-2) hosts Valley (6-4)
CR Washington (8-2) hosts CR Kennedy (5-5)
Any of you guys following any of the games or going to any of them. I'm listening to the Dowling game which is on 1150 KWKY. I hope that Urbandale beats Valley because its good to see a team like Urbandale, who hasn't had much success before, do good, and also, to show a team like Valley that you can't just screw around in the offseason and expect to do things in the playoffs.
I'm going to the M'town game.
Urbandale ftw. I wish I could go to that game, but I've been waiting since february for the first men's bball game. So that's more important.
Originally Posted by Cyclones01

Yeah, tough decision for me too.
I'll be at the Linn-Mar game.
Let's Go Cedar Falls! Knock the MAC out!
I may make the Linn Mar game.
LutherClone- If you go to the Cedar Falls-Clinton game I'd be interested to know what you think of Clinton's David Johnson.
CR Xavier knocks off Linn-Mar 41-3. Is that right?
"Seven minutes to glory."
Harlan keeps rolling. Who was the Urbandale kid that lit up Valley?
Dowling spanked East. East couldn't do anything on offense. Dowling was sloppy on offense for most of the first 3 quarters.
Originally Posted by cycloner29

Chad Gilson.
He plays quarterback but he can run it. He also plays linebacker and apparently ran a fumble recovery back for a TD. They play dowling next though I believe. They played without gilson last time they played Dowling and got spanked
Urbandale's best player is probably jevoury wedderburn though.
He went off this season
308 yards 3 TD's against S.C. East
134 yards against Ankeny (lost 7 - 3)
230 yards 3 TD's against Southeast Polk
252 yards 3 TD's against Indianola
271 yards 4 TD's against S.C. East
Tonight they slaughtered Valley, i don't what his stats were like though
Waukee gave M'town a scare tonight. They looked much better than the first match-up but the Bobcats pulled it out with a 5 pt win. Can't remember the final, I had to leave at the start of the 4th because my kids were cold I listened to the end on the radio and Waukee was threatening to score at the end. The refs were very flag happy tonight on both sides.
i was at the Urbandale game and Chad Gilson was a man amongst boys tonight. he was part of 5 touchdowns. he passed for 1, ran for 2, intercepted 1 for a td and i think had the fumble recovery return for a td as well. Jevoury did well, had over 100 yards and got 1 td. When UHS played DHS last time Gilson had just injured his hand and was not very effective. Friday will be a different game.

2014 was the year I took a step back from writing and dug into my backlog without worrying too much about whether I should pen my thoughts or not. Yet, despite playing more than usual, this list is somewhat shorter than my previous years'. That probably makes it about normal size then.
If you're a Tap-Repeatedly veteran you know our Game of the Year lists are not always lists, not always games, and almost never devoted entirely to the previous year. This year, when discussion about the feature began shortly before Christmas, everyone said it had been a bad year for games. "I don't know what I'll write about," they moaned, meaning what games. Me, I worried I wouldn't know how to write about them. It's a feeling I've become familiar with in the last twelve months, to my sorrow and my detriment.
Hi Tappers! Thanks for tuning in for our Games of the Year lists. Once again it seems like I'm the one to kick this series off here in January, so let's ring in the new year and with a list of my favorite or most interesting games of 2014.
Haven't got time to preamble. Too many games to cover.
Remember when I said something like "maybe I'll get to Red Dead Redemption in 2012!" ?? That still hasn't happened! Oh all of those lols and such, et cetera as that guy from that Fallout game would say! What I learned– or continued to learn– above all else, in 2013, is that no one should try too hard to do things. For example, why bother saying you'll try to eat seventeen bushels of broccoli in 2014? When you end up eating one bushel you'll be ashamed of yourself. Instead, just buy some broccoli when you walk past it and your eyeballs and brain get together and say I guess that broccoli looks like some of the good eating times. Just do that. And heck, on your way out maybe you'll grab a peach pie too. What does it matter? At the end of the year you'll have purchased six quarts of broccolis, let four go rotten, and then eat a taco and buy some dumb games on Steam. Whatever, man.
The American holiday of Thanksgiving marks the start of shopping and gluttony, and also the Hollywood Oscar Season, when movies considered "Oscar-worthy" are released in theatres. The thinking is it keeps important films fresh in the minds of the nominating committee, whereas something that came out last spring is easily forgotten. The same happens with gaming, for different reasons, yet this year's holiday was a very quiet time. Practically nothing of interest happened.
No, not even that.
It's that time of year again. A time for quiet reflection. A time for looking ahead. A time for staying up super late and celebrating solar mechanics. Most importantly, though, it's a time for reminding ourselves of some awesome games we played in the last 365 days – measured in the gaming world as "the time between the releases of Retro City Rampage and Dr. Luigi."
Some years there are games that characterize my gaming experience. That sum up everything that was most memorable about that year in gaming. Other years, like this one, it's hard to point at any one title or experience. This last year was, for me, more of a tidal shift. I'm a lot more of an indie player than I was twelve months ago (though that's a highly relative thing). For probably the first year ever, the pinnacle of my gaming experience didn't come (at least not definitely so) from a console release from a major publisher. That's not to say I'm shelving my PS3 and swearing off the AAAs, but the reality of how much they're losing their power really struck home for me personally, rather than just academically, in 2013.
I am proud to announce that as of 2013 I am finally a qualified games journalist. I got an Achievement that told me so, and that's the recognition that I absolutely needed. As a fully qualified games journalist, I write Games of the Year articles… kind of like I did in previous years. Some things don't change.
2012 was a lot of things, as most years are. My colleagues have discussed most of these things quite entertainingly, and so I will spare you from further use of the words "Kickstarter," "Greenlight," "Entitlement" and so on. Except for right there, just then.
If you're intensely plugged into the independent gaming scene then you probably consider 2012 a banner year for the continuing rise of the indie. I'm only slightly plugged into that scene, so I consider 2012 an okay year in which The Last Guardian still saw no light of day and increasingly slight hopes for a new Half-Life could be taken off life support with rumors buzzing that Valve intends to focus their energy on entering the console market.
However, those disappointments have been quelled almost wholly by my games of the year…
When I read Brandon's post on 'gamer's block' I took a step back to consider whether I'd suffered from it at any point and, truth be told, I don't think I have. Like many others around here, I've got an absurd backlog of games and while the size and my distinct lack of time to make even a dent in it intimidates me, it also excites me, especially when I've finished off whatever it is I'm currently playing and have the time to pluck something else from my virtual shelf.

First two teams selected for 400 new BSF academies
BDP and Napper Architects are part of the first two teams to be selected to provide the first of 400 new academies under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
Napper Architects will be giving design advice to Balfour Beatty, which will be building three new academies in Sunderland, while BDP has teamed up with Kier Group to deliver the new Milton Keynes Academy.
The two schemes are the first to reach this stage since Partnership for Schools (PfS) launched its design-and-build national framework in January 2007, which was introduced to streamline and accelerate the academies programme. Previously, BSF had been used solely to procure secondary schools.
Chief executive of PfS Tim Byles said: 'The new academies are excellent news for Milton Keynes and for Sunderland, providing facilities and resources which students, teachers and the local community deserve, and helping to improve the life chances for young people in these areas for generations to come.
'The PfS National Framework was created to help local authorities and sponsors to design and deliver their academies in the most cost-effective and efficient way, providing best value for money for taxpayers and educational transformation for communities.'
The 1,550-pupil Milton Keynes Academy is expected to open in September 2009, and the Sunderland academies are due to open between September 2008 and December 2009.

"I loved this card because it allowed me to display a "then" and "now" image of my twin girls - just like the website sample. I love the simplicity of the design and how it allows the photos to be the focus of the card."
"The colors in this card are very vibrant and fun! Perfect for any Graduation celebration. I love the layout, picture quality, and there is plenty of room to add your own personalization! The option of having pearl paper is also a plus. I ordered the pearl paper and received many compliments on that elegant detail. Thanks, Tiny Prints for always getting it right!"
"This design was fun to work with and easy to fit all the details into the designated text area. The photo layout fell into place with ease. I love the finished product and quality of paper. Delivery turnaround was extremely fast - I just love this card!"
"We used these for a Graduation Open House Invitation. Loved everything about them. It was nice to have an invitation that showed off a senior picture so nicely. The banner was in the perfect spot!"

There are options - more options than ever before - and those students clutching their A Level results wondering what to do next need more support to help them explore exactly what is available to them, rather than being rushed into a decision that just isn't right for them.
Some brains can't be measured in the confines of an exam hall or in an essay. Do you take in the world around you? Are you curious enough to ask questions? Are you engaged enough to have strong opinions?
For too long, a stigma clouded apprenticeships. But now that stigma has gone. A degree is no longer the only route that the ambitious and capable can take on their way to fulfilling their potential. Apprenticeships are a wholly viable option. A-Level leavers must make the choice that is right for them as individuals.
The cost of helping children to achieve their educational ambitions is arguably most acutely felt by single mothers, especially those who were not married when their relationships ended and so are not entitled to receive spousal maintenance.
As a postgraduate recruiter once told me, "These days, it's next to impossible to secure a job with a BA. Just like in Europe, MAs are becoming a necessity". If this assertion holds true, then we truly live in a rather sorry state of affairs. Rather than a university education empowering students, the necessity of advanced degrees seem to illustrate how the higher education industry has profited from student vulnerability.
Often, you'll see evil parents in films threatening their naughty children with boarding school, like it's the ultimate punishment. Well, that's just a load of nonsense. When I was eight years old I went to boarding school. A lot of people will automatically think 'how awful' - it wasn't. As the youngest of four I knew boarding school was going to be on the cards one day.
Our research further highlighted that outdated views are still prevalent with nearly half of parents (48 per cent) thinking that apprenticeships are geared more towards boys than girls and almost a third (32 per cent) thinking they are for less academically able young people. This is certainly not the case.
Each year the cost of living as a student goes up, with rent rates being hiked by landlords hoping to scratch a living and the fear of overdraft fees, not to mention the prospect of up to £53,000 of debt looming once you leave University, it's not surprising that an ever increasing number of students are turning to sex work as a way to make money quickly - cash in hand that will fit around a busy schedule of studying and socialising... The work that these students are doing isn't simply prostitution, with many turning to stripping on webcam services and working as lap dancers and strippers.
The CBI's well-publicised report, Tomorrow's Growth, as well as providing a welcome reminder of the parlous state of careers guidance available to young people, makes a strong case for tackling 'the idea that the A-levels and three-year degree model is the only route to a good career'.
As we head towards the start of the second year under the coalition's new Higher Education funding regime and with A-Level Results day (and the chaos that is clearing) looming on 15 August, universities, politicians and journalists alike are examining the effect on UCAS applications.
Oxford is a place where people are paid to research, and write about a vast array of subjects, most of which are united in their irrelevance to society. A tutor of mine has spent the last few years on a grammar of ancient Greek - pointless not least because the zenith of Greek grammar-writing was reached in the 19th Century. But one recent piece of research might even have topped my tutor's efforts...
The current situation means that UK students are agreeing to pay fees which they may never meet, on the basis that they agree to pay at a rate which, combined with income tax, means they may never pay off the capital on their loans.
The most common question people ask about depression is 'How do you know the difference between depression and just feeling sad?'. What marks me and all the others who suffer from depression out from people who are just down in the dumps, feeling the weight of the world or having a bit of a crap day? It's an interesting question, not least because it's one that doctors have to deal with on a daily basis.
As soon as the country falls into the mess of recession, that's when the prudence comes in, but by then it's too late. We're used to getting what we want when we want it in this country, and we've provided our own undoing as a result by living beyond our means.
Dr Sally Mapstone of Oxford University suggested that MOOCs were an extension of a lecture based style of higher education, in contrast the the small group teaching they provide at Oxford. There's an implication here about a trade-off between quality higher education and the sort of massive higher education opportunities that MOOCs might offer.
Over the last three years the Coalition Government has mounted savage attacks on teachers' pay, pensions and conditions of service. To justify these attacks and education reforms, the Secretary of State has sought to denigrate teachers and present our public education system as broken. As a result the teaching profession is now in crisis.

Minor league report – a look at how 10 of the Texas Rangers' best prospects fared this week (July 21-27)
Photo: AP Photos
Ronald Guzman, 1B, class-A Hickory: Guzman, who's been chugging along all season, finally went cold at the plate. He was just 1 for 15 at the plate, including an 0-for-13 stretch to end the week. But Guzman's "slump" seems owed at least partly to bad luck. The 18-year-old put the ball in play with regularity (he only had one strikeout on the week), but his batting average on balls in play was a ridiculously low .071. For context, Guzman's BABIP on the season is .304. In other words, this bump in the road isn't cause for concern just yet.

Political Opposition
NO doubt, it matters much that a responsible political opposition should formulate and clarify alternative policy positions and inform the people to simplify meaningful choices when their support is needed.
I mean responsible political opposition that forms part of a strong political system.
The problem with the opposition today is that it is so woefully out of touch with popular opinions that its position on issues, often enough, fails to win widespread support from the masses.
In the first place, as is obvious, it does not have coherent political platform on which to base its leaders' actions.
It has been observed that the opposition merely reacts - and precipitously - devoid whatsoever of any hint of the kind of statesmanship that makes opposition leaders great.
What it thrives on are cheap denunciations and sterile diatribes that make its members look and sound like villains in the incoherent drama they create.
So it's really pathetic.
Sometimes they ride on issues raised by some disgruntled groups but it cheapens them more in the eyes of the thinking public.
Even the leftists among the politicians who likewise abhor the government are careful not to identify with them.
Where are the Salongas, Tolentinos, Pelaezes, Padillas, Rodrigos, the Osmenas, Tanadas, Guanzons, the Laurels, among others of those golden eras of past Congresses?
Probably the reason for this malaise is the absence of enduring party system that Sen. Edgardo Angara, chairman of the opposition Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, said was responsible for the stunted development of democracy in the country which in turn restrains foreign investments and hinders national progress. …

Gunner Ladd doesn't watch cartoons. He watches bull riding. In fact, according to his mom Kimberly, that's all the 3 year old wants to do.
Lucky for him, his parents like bull riding, too.
And, Gunner the aspiring bull rider seems to be living the life of his dreams- his parents own a mechanical bull.
The family hails from Nashville, Tenn. and travels the country operating their mechanical thrill ride for events and parties. Young Gunner likes having the 1700 pound motorized family pet, but the new family venture also means the 3-year-old gets more time with his dad.
Gunner's father, Jason, was injured on his fourth overseas tour of duty and recently medically retired from the U.S. Army after 11 years of service. As a former bull rider, Jason didn't want to abandon the sport but knew he couldn't ride due to his injury.
So they bought the bull.
"My son really hated his dad being gone, so this is great for all of us." Kimberly said.
It took Gunner a while to willingly "share" his bull with others, but now he is a huge component in grabbing the attention of passersby as they scan the many vendors at the Dodge City RoundUp PRCA Rodeo.
"He's never met a stranger," Kimberly laughed. "He really gets the kids involved, he always says 'come on, ride the bull!'"
The Ladd's have no age-limit to ride, and with Gunner's enthusiasm, they cater to people of all ages. Since the bull is manually operated, the intensity of the ride can be tailored to each individual rider.
"We had an 80 year-old get on last night," Kimberly said. "He is having heart surgery next week! It was awesome."
The best part for Kimberly though is the family time their unique business provides.
"This is something we can all do together."
And they do. Each of the Ladds plays a role - Kimberly and Jason take turns operating the bull, keeping the line moving and answering the questions of eager riders.
Gunner, in his one of a kind bullfighter gear- bandanas tied around his waist, knee-high socks, orange crocs and face paint- keeps everyone smiling and entertained.
But in the heat of day, and in surprising maturity for his age, Gunner has been known to share some true western wisdom from his travels.
Taking off his cowboy hat and wiping sweat off his three-year-old brow, he turned to Kimberly and said, "Mommy, it's a hard life being a cowboy, isn't it?"
The Ladd family and their mechanical bull will be at the Dodge City RoundUp PRCA Rodeo through Sunday night. The cost to ride the bull is $5.

Do the fields below the site always have a crop growing in them?
We don't own the fields below our site. They are maintained by farmers who plant according to weather and market price. The are constantly going through the rotation that produces vegetables for market. The solid is tilled, rows are formed, planting occurs, followed by water, sun, and time. Harvest comes about, followed by the soil being tilled. And so, it all begins again. There is never an odor that comes from the fields, farmers rarely work during weddings, but in the off chance they a quiet, and the only crop they spray is corn, but spraying happens in the morning when the air is still.
Can we pick our own caterer?
No, Command Performance is our exclusive caterer. As you may know, they also are the caterer for the Reagan Library, and as such, cook for heads of state and international dignitaries. They are known for their ability to create the dinner that completes your day. You have a selection of five price points, and within that range there are numerous choices. If you have a special idea, I always encourage you to take it to our Catering Coordinator. One thing couples appreciate about them is their flexibility and desire to help you create the wedding of your dreams. We have tested them for over a decade, and have found them to be consistently awesome.
What is included in your package? What is it that I will need to supply?
Our brides and grooms are looking for a perfect wedding day that they can enjoy with their friends and family, and is easy to plan. We have accomplished this by including in our presentation the site, caterer, day of coordinator, and all the rentals. We do not provide music, flowers, photography, or the officiate. You will be responsible for bringing your own alcohol without a corkage fee, and dessert without a cutting cost. Please contact us for packages.
When can I visit?
We like to show the venue by appointment only. In that way, we are here to focus on you and your needs. Simply email us through our contact page with all your details.
How do I reserve my date?
Most couples sign the contract and put down the $3000 deposit after they tour. But, we also have several couples each year who sign without first seeing the site in person because they live too far away.
How long before my wedding can I book with you?
Typically, we book 18 months prior to a wedding season begins, but we are open to booking earlier. Our season begins the second weekend in April and ends the second to last weekend in October.
When do I make payments?
A $3000 deposit is made when you sign the contract, an additional payment of $7000 is due at 6 months prior to the wedding, the balance is due 60 days before the wedding, any the final payment and the security deposit is due 10 days before the wedding. That is when you give us your final payment.
Is there a rehearsal?
Yes. Typically, our rehearsals are held either on our first available afternoon or evening prior to your wedding, or from 12:00-1:00 if we have a wedding the day before your wedding.
How many guests can you accommodate?
We have the ability of host up to 300 guests at a time. More than ample parking is available with 150 designated spaces.
How late can we stay in the evening?
You get the site from 2:30 pm to 10:30 pm, vendors can arrive at 1:30. The music must be off by 10:00, in accordance with our Ventura County ordinance and cannot be extended. If you would like an after party, we recommend Safire American Bistro, just down the road and will stay open until 2:00 am. The Courtyard Marriott shares the same parking lot, making it easy for guests to walk straight from the after party to their rooms at the end of the night.
Is there a coordinator included? When do I start working with her? What will she do for us?
Yes, there is a "Day Of" Site Coordinator included. She begins working with you 30 days before your wedding, once you know the details of the day. She provides guidelines to design a timeline for the day and attends your 10-day prior meeting. On the day of your wedding, she will coordinate between the vendors you have hired, as well as the caterer, to keep your schedule on track. She arrives one hour before you and arranges all of your set-up items. She directs your guests throughout the evening, from when it is time to begin the wedding ceremony, until you drive away. It is her aim that you and your family can relax and enjoy your wedding day.
Is your site handicapped accessible?
Yes, it is.
What do you do if it rains?
That is one of the good things about living in a desert; it seldom rains between late April and the end of October. If by the off chance there would be rain, Command Performance is able to arrange for you to rent a tent. After reserving one at your 10-day meeting, they will watch the weather to see if it is really needed. We have never had a tent needed between April and October.
Where are the restrooms?
Our restrooms are located at the level of the cocktails and reception. This makes them very accessible.
What is your site fee?
Our site fee is $5,700 for 2015 and $5,950 for 2016. If you choose to get married on a Saturday, there is an additional fee of $6.00 per guest and includes an assistant site coordinator. That fee is waived for Friday and Sunday events, except for the Sundays prior to Memorial Day, a Sunday when Monday is the 4th of July, and Labor Day. Any major holiday is an additional $5.00 per person.
What is your minimum number of guests for Friday, Saturday and Sunday?
Our minimum number of guests for Saturday is 150 guests. For Friday and Sunday, it is 75 guests. If you would like to be married at Maravilla Gardens, but do not have the required number of guests, you can still be married here, but you would have to pay for the minimum for the day. The minimum number of 150 guests is required for the Sundays prior to Memorial Day, a Monday 4th of July, and Labor Day.
What lighting is included in your site fee? Can more be added?
Our standard lighting is sufficient for your wedding. There are twinkle lights in four of the large trees in the reception area, market lights strung across our reception area, as well as accessory lighting around the perimeter, and landscape lighting throughout the site.
Is the dance floor included? How many can it accommodate?
We have a wonderful built in dance floor of stamped and stained concrete, designed to be sufficient for 300 guests.
Can we have candles on the tables?
Yes, though we do require that they be in glass votives or hurricane shields. Be sure they are designed to burn for 6 hours.
Do you recommend vendors?
Yes. When you complete your signing packet we give you a list of vendors. These are vendors who have worked here previously and we know and love.
What form of payment do you accept?
Check is the most common, but we can also accept cash, money order, or cashier's check. We are not equipped to accept credit cards.
What can we do if it is too hot or too cold?
At your 10-day meeting, we take a look at the weather forecast. At that time I will advise you according to our experience. We have heaters available on site and they will take care of any drop in temperature. You will need 1 heater per every 20 guests, and they rent for $85 each. Although we do have a mild coastal breeze, we have a lovely shade canopy that covers the ceremony site.
Do I need Liability Insurance?
Yes, you will need day of insurance. Our insurance will cover general liability for the property. Your insurance will cover any unforeseen issues related to you and your guests. Additional insurance protects both of us. Often you can get this insurance through your homeowner's policy or we recommend R.V. Nuccio at www.rvnuccio.com.
Do you require security?
Yes, you will need to purchase security through Sandman Security at your 60-day prior meeting. The cost is $200 for 5 1/2 hours of security. The security man comes dressed as a wedding guest and is available to respond to any unexpected situations and makes sure your guests stay safe the entire evening.

Equal Pay Day is the symbolic day where women's earnings finally catch up to men's earnings for the previous year. The gender pay gap results in women receiving about 23 percent less in pay than men, and it takes women an extra three months of wages to make up that difference each year.
Equal Pay Day 2014 falls on April 8 in 2014.
Our country has made recent strides in attempting to remedy gender pay inequity.
On Jan. 29, 2009, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed into law. Lilly worked for nearly two decades at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in Gadsden, Ala.
Ledbetter made less money than her male coworkers with the exact same job. By the time she retired, Lilly lost more than $200,000 in salary, benefits and retirement savings due to gender pay discrimination. Lilly later filed a lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was awarded back pay and other remedies in a jury trial.
The U.S. Supreme Court later reversed this decision, finding that Lilly did not bring her suit in time. In response, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was signed into law by President Obama as the first bill he signed after taking office. The act itself makes it easier for plaintiffs to bring a lawsuit on the basis of pay discrimination.
As a member of the American Association of University Women, we are thrilled that we were able to pass this legislation to reverse the 2007 Supreme Court decision that tried to rob women such as Lilly of their day in court to challenge unequal pay. But we need additional legislation to give employers and employees the tools to prevent wage discrimination in the first place — and we've been waiting too long for that.
The legislation designed to help ensure equal pay hasn't been updated in 50 years, even though the work force has significantly changed since then.
That's why Congress needs to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would close loopholes that prevent the original legislation from fully addressing the pay gap.
The Paycheck Fairness Act would require employers to prove that pay disparity is based on a legitimate business reason not related to gender, or due to seniority, merit or productivity. It would also prohibit retaliation against workers who discuss or ask about salary information.
Lawmakers who do not actively support the Paycheck Fairness Act are denying women their economic security and simply refusing to acknowledge our state's needs.

It seems that the last two paragraphs says it all. Instead of more legislation and regulation why not just enforce the laws, legislation and regulation already on the books?
Will freedom survive?

Namvet, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on Wednesday to open debate on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would hold employers more accountable for wage discrimination against women. The Senate voted 53 to 44 to move forward on the bill, falling short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster.
Maybe you could help by calling your Republican senator and ask her to give us her vote the next time this comes for a vote.
Yes, freedom will survive!

paco - let me help you understand
This should explain my first post that you didn't read correctly.
downhillracer 1 year, 7 months ago
An opinion piece by Michelle Malkin, and you represent this as a source of factual information? Why am I not surprised.
Iopine 1 year, 7 months ago
are you trying to be a troll or a cyberbully - your failure is evident with just unsubstantive comments!
downhillracer 1 year, 7 months ago
I was making a legitimate inquiry as to the bias of your source of information regarding a very serious topic.
Again, you demonstrate a classic example of psychological projection.
Iopine 1 year, 7 months ago
It is your unsolicited gravitas that is very annoying. If you thought it was being in a bias mode is probably because it was. But trying to keep it civil: If you read my first post you would know that this being the opinion page that it was my opinion. Then paco answered with his liberal overtones of more legislation. That is why I countered with a conservative editorial as a response. So in the future try to keep up with the confab. Thanks
downhillracer 1 year, 7 months ago
Now you are just going full-on psycho. You suggest that my opinion or commentary is only acceptable if "solicited", whereas yours must be accepted without rebuttal? Incredible, but not at all a surprise, given the source. "Gravitas"? Tip: context is important, as is the actual choice of words. You're welcome. ~Bill Anderson

If every difference in pay between co-workers is presumptively grounds for a lawsuit, forcing employers to prove in court that it was NOT based on gender, most rational people would demand a considerably higher reward for investing in a business, since the risks would be higher. This necessarily reduces the capital available for economic growth. If women are in fact less privileged in the job market, lower economic growth will disproportionately harm them.
And frankly, though I'm a woman myself and have hired mostly women in my business life and paid good wages, I'd be less inclined to do so, not more so, when it subjects me to the risk that every single decision I might make about compensation, benefits or job conditions could be second-guessed in a lawsuit if some woman employee gets annoyed with me. Business decisions should not be subject to jury review unless there's some evidence to start with that there was discriminatory intent on the part of the employer.
This legislation is actually bad for women in the job market, but politicians no longer care about that.
chicoli 1 year, 7 months ago
This legislation is good for women in that it will, not only level the salary plain field but the psychological one as well. The 100 cents on the dollar women will get, such cents will be churned back into the economy which in turn will benefit all of us as citizens.
Sorry for "Big Money" as they would have to pay a bit more to the ladies...well, I'm not really sorry for them!
One wonders why conservatives are repeatedly defending Big Money...as if they expect a quid pro quo in the whole affair?

I keep seeing this on the auction site, and the price makes it very tempting.
7x17 Large Format B & W Sheet Film Silver Rich
Has anyone had experience with this film?
The auction says it's Kodak Industrex film. I'm not sure what that is, but it's coated on both sides, which sounds like an X-ray film.
Thanks David - I had similar thoughts.
Industrex is used for nondestructive testing, that is, x raying welds, castings etc for , well, industry [and all kinds of stuff] It's apparently made to survive abuse and nasty climate conditions. One weird website descibes it as single side emulsion, but the data sheets I've looked at say overcoated 2 sides on sheet film base.
I surfed for this account the NDT folks use various widths of roll film [60 70 100 mm] and I've not found 70mm recently that didn't have a HUGE minimum quantity. Sadly, Industrex appears to be too thick for camera rolls.
But it's CHEAP -less than $300 for 150 meters. Then again that's waaay too $much to try for pictorial work without some better idea of suitability for pictorial use. I'll continue to investigate cuz Fuji and Agfa still list similar products. The NDT and health folks just don't speak in terms that pictorialists use. Whudda THEY mean by "high contrast" "high speed" and "fine grain" ? I can accept "fine grain" for basic ortho emulsions, and would guess "high contrast" could be tamed in manual processing with familiar developers like D76 or Xtol- I've made aerial film so behave, but what is "high" for speed.??
Oh yeah, one last thing, Kodak touts this as T-grain tech
Hope you try some and report !! :>))
AND another dang thing
Agfa's NDT product "Structurix" is available in 200 ft rolls in widths of 5,7,12 and 14 inches.
How about a 14x17 roll film camera? :D
Does Kodak give processing info? Might give an idea if a normal[or low contrast] developer might have a chance taming it.
Hey Justin, when I was revisiting the xray sites I found that "full spinal" film [IIRC 14x36] comes in flat sheets as well as folded in thirds, so how about ULF panoramas too, without those problematic Cirkut motors? Then I found that Fuji sells 17 inch rolls, lets say 20 shots per 100 feet 17x 51............
Hey Nick
Some aerial films still have recommendations for near-normal processing, albeit for high CI. I started there and guessed backward for pictorial umbers and hit it. Someplace Jim Galli reported similar results with aero film, and IIRC he just took it on faith (and his usual informed good luck :>) But I have yet to find any official hints for THUS stuff. Over on the other site (?) "Phototone" and others have reported success with "hospital" xray film and standard processing. I imagine industrial use film varies mostly with respect to physical toughness and processing-by-machine abuse: Do it Hot, DO it Fast, Do it HiContrast.
I work a great deal with x-rays producing art. www.x-rayarts.com and have plenty of experience with x-ray films. It's true that most ,edical x-ray films are coated on both sides but mammography films are single side coated. the catch to x-ray film is it's either high green sensitivity pr high blue sensitivity depending on the application and screen system used. Resolution of x-ray film, particularly double sised, is not as good as say HP5 which I use a great deal in my art. X-ray film for medical use is more light sensitive to the blue or green than to x-rays where as industrial is less sensitive to visible light and more to x-rays. In the medical industry an intensifying screen that fluoresces when struck by x-rays is used in a film holder on each side of the film (double coated film) and the screen either fluoresces blue or green depending on the screen. Most of the exposure is from the light not x-rays. In industrial use the film often has to be wrapped around a pipe or object and no screen can be used. In this case x-ray sensitivity is highest. To my knowledge all x-ray films have odd spectral sensitivity and may not even be orthochromatic. Contrast does tend to be higher and grain is not as good as photographic films. Resolution is lower too and this is why I use FP-4 and HP-5 for my applications where long scale and highe resolution with fine grain are needed to capture the finest details of my subject. My guess is it's not going to be very good for photographic use.
Aerials films are a better choice but do tend to be contrastier and have low blue sensitivity.
Ecxept for dental films I guess the majority of medical films are designed for use with fluorescent srcreens.
I further guess in industrial use there will be less employment of screens which will result in different emulsion design.
I somehow overlooked your post... You said it all.
However industrial films will need more likely less speed than medical films. Thus an unsensitized industrial film could be less grainy than an unsensitized medical film.
