Cedar Springs Girl's Soccer: Athletic Handbook
Athletic Handbook
Revised and Approved by the Board of Education
May 22, 2006
This handbook is designed for students and parents to help define the role of athletics in Cedar Springs Public Schools. The purpose of this athletic handbook is threefold:
1. To help you understand our athletic philosophy.
2. To help you understand our athletic objectives.
3. To help you understand our athletic regulations.
As an athlete or parent representing Cedar Springs Public Schools and its communities, you must fully understand the responsibilities that accompany this privilege. Your actions, attitude and desire will reflect first and foremost on you. Second, it will reflect on your family, your team, school and community.
Your coaches and school athletic department want to help you be successful and make the most of your high school opportunities.
Philosophy of Athletics
Athletics are part of the total educational program of the Cedar Springs Public Schools. We realize not everyone can be a team member, but we do realize everyone can benefit from the program. The criteria upon which our program is judged is as follows:
1. Interscholastic participation is a privilege, not a right and must be earned.
2. Participation in interscholastic athletics is for those that have physical skills appropriate for the respective sport.
3. Success of the program is not necessarily determined by the win/loss record.
4. School and community values should be evident throughout the program.
5. The school community is identified by the publicity generated through the athletic program.
6. The coaching staff, athletes, student body, and adult followers should never act in a manner that would be detrimental to the name of Cedar Springs Public Schools.
Objectives of Athletics
An athletic program must have objectives to be meaningful. These objectives are applicable for all levels. The objective should be consistent with its philosophy and the educational objectives of Cedar Springs Public Schools.
The Cedar Springs Athletic Program is dedicated to the following objectives within available means:
1. Provide all athletes with the best teaching and coaching personnel possible.
2. Provide all athletes with the best facilities and equipment possible.
3. Provide the opportunity for all athletes to participate in the best interscholastic program possible.
4. Provide all spectators an opportunity to identify with and support the interscholastic teams of Cedar Springs.
5. Provide all athletes an opportunity to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally through participation in the athletic program.
The Goals of Athletic Participation
The ultimate goal of every athlete is to become a more effective citizen in our society. This can be realized by achieving the goals through athletic participation.
The Goals of Athletic Participation (continued)
1. YOU LEARN TEAM WORK ¬ To work with others in society a person must develop self-discipline, respect for authority, and the spirit of hard work and sacrifice. You accomplish this by placing the team and its objectives higher than your personal desires.
2. YOU LEARN TO BE SUCCESSFUL Our society is very competitive. You will not always win, but you will succeed when you continually strive to do so.
3. YOU LEARN TO BE A GOOD SPORT You must learn to humbly accept success. You must also learn to accept defeat knowing that youve done your best. You must constantly strive to treat others as you would have them treat you. Through participation in athletics, you must develop positive social traits. Some of these traits worth mentioning are: emotional control, honesty, cooperativeness, and dependability.
4. YOU LEARN TO ENJOY ATHLETICS Students are involved in athletics for many reasons, including the enjoyment derived from participating. It is hoped that you will learn to enjoy this period in your life and appreciate your personal rewards.
5. YOU MUST LEARN DESIRABLE HEALTH HABITS To be an active, contributing citizen, it is important to obtain and maintain a high degree of physical fitness through exercise and good health habits. Your participation in athletics should demonstrate to you the importance of good health habits. It is hoped that you will have developed a desire to maintain this level of physical fitness after formal competition has been completed.
It is important to both our school and our community that Cedar Springs athletic teams and spectators (adults as well as students) show good sportsmanship at all times. Please review the following suggestions for future considerations.
1. A student or adult spectator represents his/her school the same as the athlete.
2. The good name of the school is more valuable than any game won by unfair play.
3. Recognize and show appreciation of fine play or good sportsmanship on the part of the opponent.
4. Accept decisions of officials without dispute.
5. Advocate that any spectator or athlete who continually demonstrates poor sportsmanship be excused from the athletic program.
Conduct of an Athlete
The conduct of an athlete is closely observed in many areas of life. It is important that your behavior be above reproach in the following areas at all times.
1. Students and parents are reminded that the school rules and regulations as set forth in the student handbook are the basis for dealing with all student related matters. The Athletic Code of Conduct is to be viewed as an addition to the high school handbook and is intended to deal with the behavior and conduct of the student athlete.
2. On and off the field of competition, your conduct should be beyond reproach at all times.
3. The way we act and look on campus is of great importance. Athletes should be leaders and fellow students should respect and follow them.
4. The use of school equipment is important. We are committed to purchasing the best at all times. If you destroy or steal equipment, then you are taking from yourself and teammates. Each athlete is financially responsible for all equipment checked out at replacement cost.
5. Any athlete removed from a team for disciplinary reasons will not be allowed to try out for another team during the same season. (Example: wrestling to basketball).
6. Any athlete cut from a team shall be able to try out for another team during that season.
7. Quitting is a very serious manner! Any student athlete who chooses not to fulfill a commitment must meet with the athletic director and coach before trying out for another sport during that season or any other.
Being a student athlete carries with it a great responsibility. Not everyone is fortunate enough in his/her life to participate in athletics. Since you are afforded this opportunity, you will be expected to observe these guidelines while participation in our athletic programs.
General Information
1. There may be occasions when you will have a conflict of responsibilities. We suggest the following set of values to aid you in determining your prime responsibilities. A. Home and Family responsibilities

2. Athletes who have not turned all equipment in from one sport will not be eligible for any future sports participation, either practice or games, until the equipment has been accounted for or the school district reimbursed.
3. To participate in an athletic contest/practice or performance, an athlete must be in school for the entire day. Any deviations to this rule (i.e. doctors appt./college visit) must be cleared by the principal or athletic director prior to the absence. Extenuating circumstances will be dealt with by administration on a case-by-case basis.
4. Students who have been suspended from school for disciplinary reasons (example: skipping school, fighting, smoking, etc.) are not to practice or participate in athletic competition of any kind until they are reinstated in school and have met with the athletic director and his/her coach.
5. No student may practice or participate on any athletic team without a physical and a signed athletic permission form on file in the athletic office.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY AN
8. Communication throughout the athletic department should be complete and thorough. It is suggested that the following pattern of communication be used to avoid misunderstandings.
1) Player > Coach
2) Parent > Coach
3) Player/Parent > coach > athletic director
*Communication should always be conducted in a mature and productive
*Timing is everything communication should always be avoided immediately after a contest. Emotions are usually running high and communication is often nonproductive.

Although tobacco may be legally purchased and used by 18-year olds, and alcohol may be legally consumed in other countries, its purchase and use by Cedar Springs student athletes is prohibited.
Possession by an athlete is defined as the student athlete becoming part of a situation where alcohol or drugs are illegally present or being used. If a student athlete recognizes they are present in this type of an environment, they are expected to make arrangements to leave the situation immediately, or face the consequences of their actions.

All the above training rules have a carry over from year to year. Training rules also apply during summer months. The training rules are the minimal standards which are to be adhered to by Cedar Springs High School athletes and coaching staff. But, any coach may implement his/her own training rules and regulations which go above and beyond the minimum standards previously stated. These rules must be approved by the athletic director and given in writing to the athletes and their parents.
All training rule violations must be served as consecutive athletic contests which will include any and all post season competition as defined in Regulation 1, Section 12, of the M.H.S.A.A. Handbook.
Spectator Guidelines
All spectators are expected to behave in a proper manner when attending athletic events. Any student, parent, or fan that behaves in a manner not acceptable to the administration of the event will be removed from that contest and is subject to denied entry to any Cedar Springs Athletic events for a period of up to one year.
The school district will provide parents the opportunity to purchase athletic insurance coverage. Sign up forms are available from your childs coach, the athletic office, or the
school office. The policy is designed for parents with no insurance protection or those that wish to use it as a supplement to their family insurance. Registration and payment must be made during the first week of the fall season.
Parents and student athletes should fully understand and appreciate the risk of serious personal injury associated with participation in the educational sports program provided by the Cedar Springs Public Schools. Participation in school athletics involves flying objects, swift movement of bodies which many times are airborne, and unavoidable collisions.
Athletic activities are hazardous and taking part in such activities is calculated risk-taking on the part of the student athlete and parents. It is also understandable, that to many young adults, the potential benefits exceed participation and offer stimulating adventure that satisfies the student athletes desires for competition, strenuous effort, and creative activity. Reducing injuries to a minimum without subtracting from this adventure is a continuous goal of our coaching and administration staff.
Beginning with the 2003-04 school year, the Board of Education has supported a participation fee for students to be involved in the athletic program. The fee at the high school level will be $100 and at the middle school level will be $50. This fee is expected to be paid prior to the first contest date of the school year for each student. This fee allows students to participate in as many athletic activities as they desire (following a tryout period) and also provides a pass for entry into all Cedar Springs athletic events for the school year. These fees are subject to change on a year-to-year basis pending recommendations from the athletic office and support from the Board of Education.
The Cedar Springs Public Schools does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, height, weight, marital status, political belief, disability, or handicap in its programs and activities. The following person has been designated to handle inquires regarding the nondiscrimination process:

If you need one golden strategy for ordering your in-flight meal, it's this: always order the stew.
If the stew's not available, go for fried rice and fatty fish. Pasta, noodles, chicken breast or anything deep-fried does not fare so well in the harsh conditions of the aircraft galley.
These recommendations come straight from the people tasked with making the millions of meals served in-flight every day, such as Fritz Gross, director of culinary excellence at LSG Sky Chefs Asia Pacific.
As the guy in charge of LSG Sky Chefs' Hong Kong operation, which churns out 30,000 meals daily for airlines such as DragonAir, United Airlines and British Airways, Gross' challenge is a tough one: serve hundreds of people quality meals, but do so with no knives, no crème brûlée blow torches (or indeed any fancy equipment) and with no fresh ingredients at the point of service.

Evil Molly
I have a tank with Discus, rams, khuli loaches, otos....
Anyway, I did something stupid, but the result is unexpected. A LFS was giving away fish, and my wife fell in love with a black and white molly. I got it, thinking that it could stay in my tank while I hunted for a free 10 gal tank.
Note I understand the water parameters are very different, and I did not change them...the tank remained a Discus tank.
Well, it turned out the molly is evil (like in the SouthPark episode). It immediately started to harass all the other fish. I mean, non-stop. I would tap on the tank when I saw him doing this, and he would swim up to the glass and look at me like "what do you want" By the time I got a tank, it had killed 2 of my Otos, 3 loaches and one Discus (twice as big. I am so pi$$ed with myself for getting it.
Anyway, I got a 10 gal, and put him in there and he seemed fine.
Then yesterday, I had a Ram that looked a bit sick, so I figured I would use the 10 gal for an observation tank (hoping in the back of my mind the molly would have calmed down over this time). Within 10 seconds, the molly was on that Ram, never letting up....like a mad man....
So anyway, I put the Ram back in the main tank (or it would have been dead by now) and I have a 10 gal with nothing but a molly in it.
Because I won't kill it, and now that I have told everyone he is evil, none of my friends want it, I am stuck with it...I am going to make a divider and divide the 10 gal into 2 5 gal, so I still have 5 gal to work with the sick Ram...
But still, I have had fish for many years, and I cannot remember ever having an evil Molly before....was I just lucky? Or do I have an evil fish?
Is there a method to his madness?
im not sure whats going on with your molly but i do know that they are live baring fish that do not like to be alone. after you nurse the ram i would take the divider out and put like 3 more mollies in with your one. also dont beat yourself up over it im a woman myself and i know that what i say goes expecially with my fish and men kind of fold once you get to batting the eyes. if i were in your position i would give that 10 gal. to your wife and tell her its her responsiblity now. lol. when i bought my first molly it was the bully of the tank at the pet store but once i got it home it hide and was scared to be alone. im pretty sure you already know this but if params are not up to the fishes standards it can make them more aggressive. i dont think you have an evil fish but it seems to be very unhappy. get it a girl/ boy friend and see what happens.
working at a fish store, I often get customers coming in complaining about evil mollies. Its not as uncommon as you would think. Consider getting more mollies, especially some females to keep him preoccupied.
i agree that you should get more mollies,but dont just get one more especially if it is the opposet sex,this will trigger aggresion :twisted: .another thing is that mollies like some salt in the water,i personally dint know if that will help with aggression or anything,but it might calm it down.if you can,get some more mollies for that one to play with and possibly some aquarium salt.i keep a black mollie in my 10 gal,but she is not aggressive,im not sure why but i think the guppies keep her comforted,i hope this helps you! :)
salt probably wont calm down the fish but it is true that some livebearers prefer a little saltier of an environment. If you have diseased or injured fish and its a high stress environment, salt will definitely help all of the fish. My vote is to either get soe buddies for it or try to find a new home for it.
i think you should get 3 girl mollies and then he'll be fine, i had a mollie just like that
im a
mollie breeder :P
Re: Evil Molly
i would get a few mollies to put in there like a couple of females if it doesnt straightn out then i have no idea......
I was thinking about adding a female Dalmation Molly to my aquarium, because I think they're adorable, but I hear so many bad things about them. Then I read a thread like this and wonder if I should get one at all. :(

How often do I change a sewing needle?
The sewing machine needle is one of the main parts of the sewing machine, without one it simply will not work. Sewing machine needles do become blunt fairly quickly and need to be changed regularly. Changing the needle is a very easy task as it is always kept in place by a screw, simply undo the screw to remove the needle which should easily come out. The needle always needs to be reattached in a certain way, with domestic machines the needle has a flat shank on one side and can be inserted with ease. The industrial sewing machine has a rounded shank but again it is inserted very easily. If the needle is inserted wrongly and the groove of the needle that feeds the thread is facing the wrong way, the stitches will distort and cause problems. As the domestic machine has a flat shank, this should never happen.
Reasons to change a needle:
1. The needle is damaged, bent, burred or broken.
2. The needle is dull or blunt and makes a popping sound when you are stitching.
3. The thread breaks easily during stitching (it could also be that the needle has been inserted the wrong way around).
4. The machine is skip stitching.
5. A different thread size is required (for decorative top-stitching for example).
6. A different fabric is sewn with a different weight, thickness and construction.
How to change a sewing machine needle:
Turn the power off to the machine and make sure that the needle is in the highest position, you can do this by turning the fly wheel manually at the side of the machine.
Turn the small screw that is holding the needle in place, most domestic machines does not need the use of a screw driver.
Remove the needle from the needle bar, if the needle has shattered make sure you remove all the broken parts. Dispose of the needle safely.
Check the new needle for straightness by rolling it on the machine table. If the needle is straight, the blade of the needle will remain parallel to the table surface when it is rolled. Check the needle point for burrs by running your fingertip over the point.
To check the needle and thread compatibility, thread the needle with a short length of thread. Hold the thread taught at each end in a vertical position. The needle should spin slowly down and around the thread. If it slides to quickly or does not slide at all, try a different size needle or select another thread.
Insert the needle with the flat shank fitting into the housing of machine, it should just slide up with no problems at all. Once the needle can not go up any further tighten the screw to hold the needle in place. This is always located by the side of the needle housing on the sewing machine.
If you have any problems consult your instruction booklet that came with the machine as all needle housing parts can differ.
Sewing machine needles are relatively cheap and its always a good idea to have a box of them spare as needles do break quite frequently. It is always useful to have a good selection of needles in terms of size and also needle type.
Types of needle:
Round point used for knitted materials.
Ball point used for knits and stretch fabrics.
Leather point used for leather, suede and neoprene. The leather point has a built in knife on the needle.
Standard needles are used for most every day sewing projects and range from 70 up to 110 in size
Standard needle 110 is ideal for heavy twill fabrics and denim.

Super 8 Fort Myers
Traveler Comments
The only thing I didn't like about this Super 8 was its location: a $40 taxi ride from SW Florida International Airport. There should have been transportation provided. Other Super 8's do provide transport. The website seemed to indicate there was transport.
Convenient location, in relation to distance from airport and to the area that I needed to be in. Room was nice size, with cold A/C, nice size mini fridge, coffee pot, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, and 32' TV. If the occasion were to arise, would absolutely stay there again.

Say Anything
Say Anything, 1989, USA
No, I hadn't seen this film before! It was one I wanted to watch during the 80s week I did back when I was watching and reviewing the 200 movies for school, but I was unable to get my hands on a copy of it. I recorded it off AMC the other day so I was happy to finally be able to watch it (and see the iconic boom box scene in context!).
Lloyd (John Cusack) is an average student with no real direction in life, other than his aspirations to be a kickboxer. Diane (Ione Skye) is the high school valedictorian who has won a scholarship to study in England. Lloyd calls her up on a whim and asks her out. Diane, who doesn't really know Lloyd, accepts his offer because he makes her laugh. As they spend time together and get to know each other, they fall in love. However, Diane's father (John Mahoney) dislikes the budding relationship because he sees it as a potential distraction for Diane.
I thought the film was lovely – it was very melancholy but it was also very sweet. Lloyd is such an endearing character. I found the contrast between Lloyd and Diane's father to be very interesting, especially when her father's legal troubles are revealed. Diane's divorced father was the only person she could ever count on for much of her life, but her disappointment in him crushes her at a critically important time in her life. In essence, he becomes the distraction he fears so desperately. Her father obsessively planned out her entire life, whereas Lloyd struck me as a floater, content to go with the flow and do whatever feels right at any given time.
The film was surprisingly deep. I suppose I was expecting a lighter romantic comedy instead of the romantic drama it ended up being. But I was very impressed by the depth of the characters, especially Diane's father. Usually parental figures in films like these are fairly cookie cutter, but his motivations and failings as a human being were stark and painfully honest. And in many respects, this film subverts the stereotypical gender roles within romance films. It can be seen in the film's most famous scene, which is achingly bittersweet and reduced me to tears. The ending was brilliant. I loved the subtle implication of it.
Say Anything is an, at times, painfully accurate portrayal of young love, and the frantic emotions and confusion that comes along with it. The acting is fantastic and Cameron Crowe's direction perfectly captured the emotional intensity of falling in love. It was a beautiful film.

Snowpocalypse! Snowmageddon! SNOMG! Whatever portmanteau your local news outlet uses to panty-bunch about major winter weather events, odds are they bury the lede like a Mini Cooper in the path of a city plow. I won't: FREE FOOD is FALLING from the SKY.
Here's how to get your blizzard buffet on for a fraction of the price of Haagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche and feel like you're Laura Ingalls Wilder, hardscrabbling out on the Dakota Territory, minus the outhouse and pig bladder balloons.
The moment you notice snow falling, set the bowl outside in a spot you're sure is out of any animals' splash zones. Sure, you could brush some from the top of a car, but this ensures the cleanest, fluffiest flakes. When the bowl is nearly full, bring it inside.
Here's where the measurements get a tad fuzzy but hey - you're cooking with snow. It's not like you're meting out saffron threads and truffles by the microgram.
Open the sweetened condensed milk and with a spatula, gently, thoroughly fold about a third of the contents into the snow until it's thoroughly mixed. Keep adding condensed milk until the mixture is as rich as you'd like. Then stir in the vanilla, a half teaspoon at a time, until the taste is to your liking. Spoon into bowls, serve immediately.
If you'd like a slightly less creamy version, ditch the sweetened condensed milk and replace it with a mixture of one cup milk and one half cup sugar.
Yes, we are aware that many folks find snow gross and toxic. Others don't. Make at your own risk.
Try "Little House on the Prairie"-sanctioned Hailstone Ice Cream or Snow Candy and read "The Little House Cookbook: Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Classic Stories."
Stay up to date on winter weather

Ok, this miuch we now know...Sun rookie Danielle McCray can drain three-pointers.
"That was my favorite part of the game for me was seeing Danielle McCray come back to being herself," Sun veteran Asjha Jones said. "She has all the potential in the world. We've been throwing many things at her in practice and to see things clicking for her made me happy. She wants to play well and work hard."
Tina Charles, last season's WNBA Rookie of the Year, scored 18 points to lead five Sun players in double-figures as they won their opener, 89-73 over Washington.
Renee Montgomery (15 points), Jones (14 points), McCray (14) and Kara Lawson (11) complemented the scoring.
McCray, the seventh overall pick in 2010 from Kansas who missed last season recovering from ACL surgery was 5 of 5 from the field, including four three-pointers after having her problems shooting in the preseason.
"Rope-a-dope," Thibault said. "She probably just relaxed a little."

Someone Tell Credit Default Swaps The US Is Out Of The Woods
We noted earlier that T-Bills have merely sloshed the risk bucket from Oct/Nov to Feb and it seems CDS markets have apparently not gotten the memo. Joking aside, either CDS traders have gotten really slow or as a result of the recent fiasco US default risk has been repriced to a permanently higher baseline, some 50% higher than where it was one short month ago.
USA CDS is now +3.5bps at 39.5bps - not what one would expect given equity euphoria that it's all fixed...

When is that downgrade coming?
..better kept a secret from those evil instruments.
Out of the woods = going through the eye of the hurricane. Resume nausea in 3 2 1...
< The US is out of the woods
< Collapse only postponed
And none of those bullshit bets/insurance/hedges will ever payout. Biggest scam ever created.
So... who exactly will the US have to bail out in order to make good on those CDSes again? AIG? European banking system? Both?
There have been plenty by many agencies over five years.
A downgrade won't mean very much, it'll be when the primary T-Bill holders dump and the dollar shits the bed which in turn starts a chain reaction through all currencies in the G20 being forcably valued to anything hard, shiny and limited. Basically the western world economy is leveled in one shot.
ZH have to hand it to ya for towing the rhetorical line.....but man, you must be gluttons for punishment! rinse, repeat for Feb. (after the next taper "crisis", Syria "crisis", holiday into January ramp to ES 2000+ etc which will make a 20% correction ES 1600 and myriad "glitches").
Just in time for the start of Congressional Election Season.
Repeat ad infinitum.
another good point, if there are actually 2 parties, one is going to let the other do all of the campaigning for them by continuing to step on their own dick's, surprised they haven't figured this out yet....or not surprised. And yet charlie brown keeps running up to kick the fucking ball...........priceless!
He needs to run up and kick Lucy.
bullish flag if i ever saw one
Nothing is fixed. Congress had made sure of that.
The showmen have agreed but the rest of the circus hasn't voted yet.
Hurry, hurry, step right up and see the amazing can kickers. They can kick it 3 months, 6 months. They can even kick it out past elections. World's best can kickers right under this marble tent. Watch them kick the can.
One day the can is going to get kicked so far it is going over a cliff where it won't be kicked any more.
making Janikowski look like an amateur
One of these days these bastards will finally kick the can into the house of cards that we have constructed. And then the financial scam, er, system, that hs been ongoing will collapse. Until then keep stacking and keep prepping.
Nah, the can will be conveniently booby-trapped to explode pre-kick, that way, the inability to kick can be blamed upon the obstructionist terrorists who insisted upon said trap.
Then, comes the shovel-ready jobs plan of rebuilding an entirely new can-kicking system, complete with self-kicking cans.
Collapse we do already. And as Tyler keeps pointing out : into the new normal!
Imagine waking up in a globalized world as promised :
We would all compete freely in world wide labor markets,communist salaries would no longer matter as each according to his needs we would still need food stamps to make ends meet.
And lots and lots of government to organize all that misallocation of capital .
Jokes aside ; the new normal is just as the old normal for the formerly third world : Unstable government, unstable economy controlled by unstable currency.
Everything will stay the same, just the West will be in for some sort of a surprise.
You were joking?
to late suckers
Please, no CDS is going pay out, ever. WWIII will happen first.
CDS are nothing more than trading vehicles. Anybody who thinks otherwise is just deluding themselves.
Might as well be shooting craps.
Up until now, the mention of a US default would get you funny looks from fund managers. Now that they got the full deer in the headlights experience they will start to prepare themselves for next time. They will start reducing exposure, they will diversify, they will look for other collateral among other things. So next time it may be different. They might actually start shorting quite violently instead of bracing themselves.
Expect interest to rise soon after this debacle. US Treasuries carry real risk from now on.
woah woah woah wait a second
you act like they are fullfilling some kind of fiduciary obligation? lol nm
By law they are.
OK, I'm just trolling here.
Our whole planet needs a way to save that does not involve the promises of others to deliver value in the future. Gold at a higher price would function in this role. It is universally valued and hoarding gold does not damage other industry. The Euro (ECB) has gold held at marked to market rates. If it wanted to it could offer to buy gold at a much higher price. For every Euro it spent to acquire gold and for every Eurpo that that caused the price of gold to rise, it's balance sheet would increase both in weight of gold possessed and in the value of gold held. This could immediately make the Euro a reserve currency but in fact it would allow gold to function as the reserve while the Euro would become simply a preferred Unit of Account and Medium of Exchange. Gold would be the universal Store of Value. No one country would have the 'exorbitant privelege'. Triffin's dilemma would be resolved.
This could happen at any time.
This is the later, markets are coming to the realization that the United States like any other country can default.
We're lost in the fucking woods during a large forest fire and wild rabid animals are all around.
Thank God I didn't understand that or I'd really be worried.
(It's important to preserve one's ignorance for when it really matters.)
Everybody shriek out loud!
1. Junk Silver: Check
2. Guns and Ammo: Check
3. Generator: Check
4. Food and Water: Check
Keep prepping people, you are going to need it soon.
Generator is going to be noisy and attract people short on fuel. Consider getting solar panels, a solar to 12V charger, a 12V battery (boat/lorry best), and USB/AAA 12V adapters.
You also need entertainment. That depends on how many there are of you in your unit. If solo, get a lot of reading material. Even if you are not into reading, you may find it a respite when there is nothing else to do. If you have a friend/family with you, consider a good stock of board games and other group entertainment.
If your food is homogenous, such as a 100kg of white rice, consider buying a large selection of soups, spices and sauces to add a unique flavour to every meal.
Don't die of boredom.

NEW ORLEANS—A trial over the deadly Deepwater Horizon disaster is scheduled to resume Tuesday with testimony expected from Halliburton employee Jesse Gagliano, who was on the rig at the time of the April 2010 explosion.
Gagliano worked on the failed cement job that led to BP's well blowout. He was interviewed by a congressional committee and testified in 2010 before a government panel probing the disaster.
Gagliano invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination at his deposition in 2011, but he later agreed to testify at trial. BP had argued that his late change of heart would give Halliburton an unfair strategic advantage.
The trial started Feb. 25 and is entering its sixth week. BP will begin presenting its defense once Halliburton rests its case, possibly later this week.

Do I Need Permission to Do This? An Introduction to Using Online Content in the Age of Copyright Protections
Copyrighted works are all around you, but you may not know it when you are seeing, touching, or listening to one! This session will introduce graduate students to basic concepts of copyright law, such as what is protected, for how long, and what constitutes public domain works. Through hypothetical situations, we will examine the critical fair use doctrine which allows use of copyrighted works for research and teaching without seeking permission. Students will learn how to assess whether a work is protected by copyright, whether they need to ask permission before using a copyrighted work, and how to create their own fair use analysis.
Early Modern Resources: Exploring the Electronic Labyrinth of Document and Manuscript Collections, or, How Do You Spell "devil?"
We will focus on several resources for the study of the early modern period in Britain and North America. Professor Will West will lead off the demonstration of his use of Early English Books Online (EEBO), a large scale digitization of pre-1700 British publications. Charlotte Cubbage will provide an overview of other digital resources, including manuscript collections, early modern lexicons, and finding tools for secondary resources. Deuel, deuell, deuyl, deuyll, devill, dieul, dieull, divel, dyvel, dyvell––and those are just singular forms. . .
Electronic Resources for Education and Social Policy
This session will introduce students to electronic resources central to the study of education and social policy. Among the resources to be discussed will be ERIC; Education Administration Abstracts; PAIS; Policy File; and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses.
Extending the Idea of a "Lernort" to a Virtual Learning Environment: Bauhaus in Chicago
This presentation will explore teaching in three distinct environments: in the classroom, in an authentic learning site, a "Lernort", and in virtual reality.
Using the topic of Bauhaus architecture in Chicago, we will demonstrate how a topic can be introduced in class, how the idea of a "Lernort" as a place of learning outside the classroom can add to the classroom experience, and how a "Lernort" can be extended to a virtual environment to enrich learning even further.
The focus of the presentation will then shift to a demonstration of an interactive learning site (the virtual environment) which represents a virtual walk through downtown Chicago. Each stop in the virtual tour features a narrated video film focusing on a cultural and architectural significant site. The virtual tour is accompanied by interactive learning modules which contain on-line exercises to help the learner internalize the cultural and architectural information presented.
Interested participants will have a chance to go on a guided tour downtown highlighting the influence of the Bauhaus on Chicago's skyline as an example of integrating a Lernort with classroom experience and virtual reality.

Finding Primary Sources Online: The Virtual Door to the Archives
Personal papers, institutional records, historic photos, and other primary sources are crucial to research in many academic fields. However, these unique materials are more difficult to track down and use because they are organized, indexed, and accessed very differently from books and periodicals. Fortunately, researchers can now benefit from technology that makes archival collections much easier to locate. In this session, you will learn about online databases and other electronic means for locating these materials; how (and why) to use archival finding aids; and what steps to take after you've identified the primary sources you need.

Mapping People Place and Space: A Short Introduction to GIS in the Social Sciences
Geospatial analysis has become an increasingly important approach to research across many fields of inquiry, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) an increasingly essential part of the social scientists toolkit. There has also been an explosion in publicly and commercially available data generated to be used in such analysis. From data visualization to predictive modeling, GIS holds enormous potential in establishing research questions, reducing data, and answering questions in which space and place are important components.
Using examples from archaeology and anthropology, this seminar will serve as a short introduction to the potential of geospatial analysis in the social sciences and the ways in which GIS can be used to map people, place and space. The workshop will also introduce you to the numerous kinds of information from governmental and commercial sources that can be employed in such research.

Putting Music in its Place: Finding First Hand Accounts of Musical Events, Performances, and Recordings
Throughout history, music has been understood in the context of its creation and performance. While we learn to love music on our own terms through recorded performance and museum-like concert halls, we lose knowing music in its original context. By using electronic research tools, we can find firsthand accounts of premier performances, reviews of now important recordings, and learn how music we love was received in its own time and place. Music Library Assistant Head Greg MacAyeal will demonstrate how to find concert and recording reviews, contemporary criticism, and other accounts of musical reception.

Simulating Social Networks Using NetLogo
Everyone knows about the "six degrees of separation" that link you to anyone else on the planet (including, for example, Kevin Bacon--see http://oracleofbacon.org [20]). In fact, the networks of interactions that define our social groupings--and their consequences for human behavior--have been studied scientifically for many years in a number of fields (sociology, political science, linguistics, psychology, communications, etc.).

Student Projects: Graduate Stipends in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Each year the Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences offers a small number of summer stipends to doctoral students in the Humanities and Social Sciences. These stipends are the intended as one of the products of the Electronic Resources Forum, that is, students learn about new technology enhancements during the ERF and apply them in the initial stages of their research. The students who receive the stipends, then return to campus and encourage other students during the next ERF.
The stipends include a small salary and funds to purchase supportive hardware and/or software. The purpose of the stipends is to facilitate research that is substantially enhanced by information technology.
Examples of such research enhancements include: 3-D modeling, digital scanning and recording in the field and at controlled archives, spatial/social mapping, and video archeological surveying and GIS analysis. Join us for a brief overview of the research done this summer by stipend recipients across the Humanities and Social Sciences.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama got new figures Friday to buttress his argument that he's presiding over steady, if slow, economic growth. But the government's report that the overall rate of unemployment actually crept up to 8.3 percent allows Republican rival Mitt Romney to keep pressure on Obama to defend his record.
The new unemployment numbers showed that private employers added 163,000 jobs in July, the best pace of hiring in five months. The jobless rate rose, however, to 8.3 percent from 8.2. percent in June. And Romney jumped on it, calling the figures a "hammer blow" to middle-class families.
No U.S. president since World War II has faced re-election with unemployment over 8 percent.
Obama was expected to comment on the new jobs numbers later Friday morning at a White House event on middle class tax cuts. Romney was campaigning Friday in Nevada, the state with the nation's highest unemployment rate, before heading to fundraise in Idaho.

I know, I know, it's been a long time since my last blog. You may have wondered if I'd fallen down a black hole, been abducted by aliens or downsized to a yurt in deepest Peru. (All of which I have to admit do seem preferable to the endless discussions about the bad weather and the credit crunch.)
But no, I've actually had a very busy summer - even if it does seem a very long time ago now. The JWAAD Summer School was as hectic as ever - in fact, more so, as the Diploma course was running throughout the week and I was teaching a number of modules. But there was plenty of time for playing too - not least at the Thursday night party. Each year has a different theme which fires up people's creativity in a quite extraordinary way. And this year's theme ' Barbies gone Bad' was no different. Seeing Jim Boz and the 'Angels' (ie Summer School helpers) dancing to 'I'm a Barbie Girl' made an indelible impression...
After a week at Summer School, it was off to Verona for five days with my mother to go to the opera. I was a little apprehensive about this one as it was organised by Saga, and I'm still too young to be eligible (hooray!) so I had to be enrolled as my mother's 'carer'! But in fact we had a great time and the other people on the holiday were great. Jean had done VSO with sexually abused children in Russia following her retirement from teaching and Nick was a mine of musical information having been a musician and director with the Royal Philharmonic and London Symphony orchestras. And the music was quite magical; I shall never forget the sheer grandeur of the Triumphal March in Aida, as 150 extras - including dancers, singers and horses - paraded around the stage. Equally memorable was the poignancy of Rigoletto - and wild enthusiasm with which the Veronese audiences applauded the performers, who seem to enjoy an almost superstar status.
Then it was back home, in time to organise the first JWAAD Foundation Course weekend in Stroud. The women on the group were great and Beatrice Curtis, Jan Piggott and I had great fun teaching them. This autumn is jam-packed with Teacher Training in fact, as I'm organising three courses and teaching on the Diploma programme. When I resolved to devote more time to dancing, this wasn't quite what I had in mind, but it's rewarding nevertheless!
So it's been a somewhat hectic Summer. So much for my resolution to do less and relax more. But I think that's a gradual process, after all, as they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. Anyway, now I'm back in the swing of things, I shall get back to blogging like a good 'un - promise!
