Honey I Shrunk the Class Sizes
When it comes to class sizes, Washington State ranks 47th out of the 50 states (so. . . pretty bad). This means that Washington's K-12 public schools have some of the largest class sizes in the nation. Initiative 1351 would reduce this problem by capping the number of students per class. Smaller class sizes would allow students to succeed in classrooms that are not overcrowded and would give them the opportunity to work more closely with their teachers. Being in large classes may also make it difficult for students to pay attention. But...most research on the benefits of small class sizes don't show a consistent trend in academic gains for students.
What "personalized education" currently looks like in Washington state.
The main concern is that this measure might be too costly and that the state may not be able to fund the measure. With reductions in class sizes more teachers would have to be hired and some programs may need to be cut. Opponents of initiative believe that having a system to filter teachers would be a more favorable plan because even if class sizes are reduced, there is no guarantee that the students are being taught well by their teachers.
Still, smaller class sizes would increase graduation rates and consequently increase post-secondary education attainment. If the measure passes, class sizes be would be reduced from 25 to 17 students in kindergarten through third grade, from 27 to 25 in fourth through sixth grade, and from 29 to 24 in high school.
How Much are You Willing to Pay?
What is college notorious for? We're not talking crazy parties and stressful finals. We're talking about something near and dear to everyone's hearts: tuition costs. Many students go into college thinking that a bachelors degree will give them access to better paying jobs. Education is also a way for everyone to get access to opportunities which will put them at a level playing field with others. But tuition costs are causing college students mo problems than they signed up for.
Tuition costs are at the highest that they've ever been and the amount students need to pay for higher education doesn't seem to be going down anytime soon. Public universities and colleges are seeing the most dramatic rise in tuition. Most costs from increasing need for research funding and salaries for staff.
Student debt is a huge concern for many college grads.
Unfortunately routine budget shortfalls since the beginning of the Great Recession (especially in the state of Washington) have dramatically increased the portion of higher education that students themselves are paying. Where the state used to fund 80 percent (yes, you read that right, eighty!) it is now below 30 percent.
As tuition continues to rise students are beginning to more seriously weigh the costs and benefits of higher education. However, by 2020, around 70% of jobs in Washington will need some kind of post secondary education.
With rising tuition costs dealing with student debt is going to become more difficult for people. What do you think? As a young person, how are you dealing with your student debt?
Saving Metro. . . Again . . .
This blog post was written by Josh Strassman, 2014 Summer Intern and Content Lead at the Bus helping to run the Hella Bus Blog.
It should be obvious by our name, but here at The Washington Bus we are huge supporters of public transit! We organized for Prop 1, which would have stopped large-scale cuts to King County Metro transit. Although Prop 1 passed overwhelmingly (with 66 percent of the vote!) in the City of Seattle, it failed county-wide.
And just in case you forgot how to ride the Metro, this video is a gem.
Fortunately, our city is not out of options when it comes to transit. After the defeat of Prop 1, activists and public officials quickly mobilized to hammer out a proposal to stop most Metro cuts in Seattle. On Thursday, the City Council met to vote on a proposal to send to voters - this time only Seattle voters - to stave off Metro cuts.
How To Train Your 'Dragonfest 2014'
This blog post was written by John Flanagan, 2014 Bus Fellow and Event Coordinator for the Washington Alliance For Gun Responsibility (WAGR), a campaign dedicated to pass I-594 on the November ballot. You can find out more about the Washington Bus Fellowship at busfellows.org
Super awesome $2 food fair? Check.
30-foot half-man half-dragon performance? Yep.
A group of Bus Fellows registering people to vote and spreading the word about I-594? You know it! This past weekend, July 12th and 13th, the Bus Fellows hit up the International District here in Seattle for the 2014 Dragonfest. Together with some of the amazing folks from the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility (WAGR), we were able to spread the word about an upcoming initiative that will be on the November ballot.
I-594 aims to close the gun show and private sales loopholes that currently exist by requiring anyone attempting to purchase a firearm to undergo a background check. On Saturday the Fellows witnessed an incredible response from the local community while spreading word about the initiative in the form of countless voters 'pledging' to vote yes on I-594, and some actually pledging their time to advocate for the initiative. All in all, Dragonfest was a screaming success and allowed the Fellows to engage with the local community in a meaningful and informative way.

Hope For The New American Electorate
This blog post was written by Gladys Gitau, 2014 Bus Fellow and Campaign Manager for the Youth Voter Engagement Campaign (YVEC), a campaign aimed to engage the new American electorate by registering young voters as well as underrepresented voters. You can find out more about the Washington Bus Fellowship at busfellows.org.
It's always bizarre to see the political phenomenon you learn about in class manifest outside in the field. This weekend I got an up close and heartbreaking look into why politics work how they work.
This weekend the YVEC campaign took to Broadway street in the lovely city of Tacoma in a valiant effort to get all of its eligible residents registered to vote. Walking around Tacoma pride, I myself was encouraged to see droves of queer brown youth, out and proud. What would happen if all these beautiful people were registered and excited to vote, I thought? What kind of world would we live in then!
What You Should Know About I-594 & I-591
This post was written by our summer engagement intern Amulya Cherala.
Gun violence is one of the most heavily covered topics in the media today. From the Sandy Hook shooting to the most recent Isla Vista and Seattle Pacific University shootings, gun violence has begun to harm the safety and lives of many Americans in places where they feel should be safe zones.
What's being done? Well...little legislative reform is being made in order to ensure the safety of United States citizens. This is mostly because law makers take into account the concerns of those who believe the government is violating their right to bear arms.
Lax laws in the US make it easy for people to purchase guns.
What's being done?
The Washington Alliance on Gun Responsibility is taking matters into their own hands by pushing forward Initiative 594. I-594 would require background checks for all gun transfers. These checks would include sales conducted privately, at gun shows, and online. Current Federal Law doesn't require background checks at gun shows. With the "gun show loophole" even vote bot can purchase a gun.
The "gun show loophole" is real and people are taking advantage of it.
The opposing initiative on gun control which will also be on the ballot this fall is Initiative 591. This initiative makes it illegal for any government agency to confiscate guns or other firearms from citizens. I-591 would also bar any expansion of background checks unless a national standard for gun control is set.
Both initiatives, according to The Elway Poll have received popular support. Since it is more than likely that both measures will pass, the supreme court will have to step up its game.
If Washington does succeed in implementing universal background checks, it would be following in the footsteps of Colorado, New York and a few other states.
Carbon Tax- B.C. to Washington
This post was written by our summer engagement intern Amulya Cherala.
Cartoon by Rex F. May
With rising carbon emissions, Washington and Oregon are taking some tips from their friendly Canadian neighbor, British Columbia. Many concerned lawmakers are pushing for a carbon tax in hopes that the impact of green house gases on the environment decreases. Carbon tax is always a tricky issue. Lawmakers believe a state-level model of the carbon-tax could serve as an example for a federal model and encourage national support of the tax. But how much should the tax be? How do you decrease the burden of a tax for those who can't afford it?
Washington's Plans
Legislators in Washington are giving the carbon tax a push forward by implementing three major developments that ensure the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions:
1. Under Jay Inslee's bill an evaluation of current efforts to cut carbon emissions in Washington State and elsewhere would be conducted. This evaluation would be used by a newly created group of legislators who would create an action plan with strategies that provide the most environmental benefit to the state.
2. A University of Washington economist recently filed a ballot initiative that would replicate the British Columbia $30 per metric ton carbon tax while rising at 5% a year. The measure would also decrease sales tax and increase tax exemptions and tax credits. It would also use revenue from the tax to support energy efficiency projects.
3. A carbon tax spread sheet model was also developed to track revenue generation and CO2 reduction from the tax. This model was also used in Oregon's evaluation of its carbon emissions.
Increased carbon emissions are killing the earth.
BUT...Some people are worried...
Regulating CO2 emissions but regulating people seems like it will become a problem in and of itself. With taxes on gasoline people may cross he border for energy sources. Some also believe that a federal tax is a more viable option because it would impose taxes on imports from other countries and would encourage those countries to take on their own carbon tax (a carbon tax domino effect!).
Those who oppose the carbon tax believe that additional policies to directly regulate CO2 emissions threatens the economy because indirect regulations on transportation and land-use may smother the construction industry and other industries.
What Can we Expect?
Our state's ballot initiative is based on British Columbia's carbon tax model and is different from other state-level models. As New York and Oregon figure out their legislation on the carbon-tax, it will be exciting to see what unfolds in the state of Washington.

The Fellows!! They're Finally Here!
It's that time of year again! Tomorrow, June 18th, 2014 is the day we finally get to meet the 2014 bus fellows. The fellows are ready to join us at the bus and do some petty awesome local politics work with young Washingtonians and the Bus.
We will kick off the 2014 fellowship with the 2014 Bus Fellows Inauguration which will take place tomorrow at the Wing Luke Museum from 6:00pm-8:00pm.
J O I N Us There! It's a free, all ages event. Food and drinks are on us!!

Historic Vote on 15 Dollar Minimum Wage
This blog post was written by our summer Bus Intern Amulya Cherala.
The plight of low wage workers has been put on the shelf for far too long and Seattle's push towards better pay has been an important step forward in recognizing the problems these workers face. On June 2nd, 2014 the Seattle City Council approved the $15 minimum wage. This vote serves as a milestone decision and gives hope to many low wage workers in other cities around the United States where income inequality is hindering their daily lives and driving them to poverty.
What does it mean now that Seattle has approve the 15 dollar minimum wage?
Currently, low wage workers in the United States struggle to pay bills and provide for their families because they don't make enough money to account for those costs. Some people believe an increased minimum wage will be good for Seattle's economy and will lift thousands out of poverty. However, others worry that it puts a lot of stress on small business owners and reduces the number of jobs because higher wages would force employers to try and compensate for labor costs.
SO...what is Seattle doing to address these concerns?
Seattle is the first major city to take such swift action in addressing the issue of income inequality. Still, the city is taking the aforementioned concerns into account by implementing an incremental plan. Starting April 1st, 2014 the minimum wage will increase to either $10 or $11 depending on the employer. City council members have worked hard to reach a compromise which they feel "recognizes the harm caused by stagnant wages and the harm to local businesses should [they] move forward too quickly."
The hope is that the increased minimum wage will give low wage workers some room to breathe. Although there will continue to be conflicting views and many challenges , there is no denying that the organizational efforts of those who were part of the increased minimum wage movement were successful. Their victory will serve as an example for many cities and states across the country. San Francisco is already following in the footsteps of Seattle. Last week, San Francisco's mayor proposed a measure that, if approved by voters in the fall, would increase the city's minimum wage to $15 by 2018.

Thought Citizens United Was Bad? Meet McCutcheon.
This blog post was written by former Bus Intern Isabella Fuentes, Junior extraordinaire at Ingraham High School in Seattle.
January 21, 2010 was a pretty awful day for democracy. On that hallowed day, our Supreme Court handed down their decision on Citizens United vs. Federal Elections Committee, a ruling that opened the floodgates for corporate money in political campaigns. The Supremes (no, not these Supremes, although they go about as far back) said that political contributions were a form of free speech, and that the FEC couldn't restrict the amount of money a corporation (which is defined for legal purposes as a person) spent independently on a campaign, since that would be restricting their free speech. This decision was denounced by many Americans who reasoned that money is not speech and corporations are not people. Pretty simple, right?
But then came April 2, 2014. The SCOTUS handed down the decision for McCutcheon vs. Federal Elections Committee, which takes everything bad about Citizens United and makes it 500,000 times worse (approximately). While Citizens United struck down corporate contribution limits, McCutcheon removed the aggregate cap that individuals can spend directly on an election. This means that while the $2,600 maximum that an individual can donate to a single candidate remains in effect, the overall cap of $123,200 is removed.
The court was divided in classic 5-4 style, identical to their vote on Citizens United 4 years ago. The conservatives (Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and swing vote Kennedy) argued that the cap on direct individual donations doesn't prevent corruption and is essentially meaningless, while the liberals (Justices Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan) dissented. In a rare and powerful display of significance, Justice Breyer read his dissenting opinion from the bench on the day of the decision. His blistering opinion stated that this decision "eviscerates our Nation's campaign finance laws, leaving a remnant incapable of dealing with the grave problems of democratic legitimacy that those laws were intended to resolve."
In the expensive and polarized political landscape of today, the McCutcheon decision is incredibly relevant and holds major repercussions for future elections. Taken together, Citizens United and McCutcheon create major loopholes where donors can funnel millions of dollars to parties or campaigns.
The 2014 Midterm Elections: presented by The Monopoly Man (source)
The extent of the influence that the money has on elections is questionable. Karl Rove's Crossroads PAC and nonprofit spent a combined $400,000,000 on the 2012 election, more than even the RNC. The flush-with-cash PAC and nonprofit saw 1% and 14% success rates, respectively.
Overall, however, it's undeniable that McCutcheon will add a new dimension to our nation's already questionable and porous campaign finance laws. Look to the 2014 midterms and 2016 general elections to see how the latest influx of money will affect your elections. In light of Citizens United, McCutcheon, and a host of other campaign finance laws, it's important to know that the United States government is of the people, by the people, and for the people; not of the millionaires, by the 1%, and for the corporations. Our Supreme Court would do well to remember that.

Deaf Graver.

Researching the following families:
Steinbrink, Knoll, Haston, Whitlock, Allen, Baumgardner
I have an unique style of grave photos --
1) Close up of name in gravestone
2) Close up of gravestone
3) Overall of gravestone + grave
That way you can feel closer!
Plus, if i notice someone related to the person u ask me to shoot, I will take a chance and shoot it. Be that of a infant, spouse, child. If it is within the same plot, it gets photographed.
If you want the photos emailed to you, Let me know and I will be happy to do it.
** Notice ** Every week, 1 or 2 days, I do a full cemetery run of over 250+ miles, trying to fulfill requests in the Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding cities - 15-20 cemeteries/run ** If I travel out of town, I will make an effort to stop at a few cemeteries to handle your requests.
** If I claimed a photo request that YOU would like me to relinquish to you, please notify me first and the reason. (Doesn't mean I will release the claim) I claim requests usually because 1) Its a cemetery i frequent 2) Its a new cemetery that Ive never been to and want to check it out! **
** If you want to give me a challenging assignment - finding a lost cemetery, a lost grave within a cemetery, tricky directions to get to a cemetery, I will meet all challenges!! Just send me email and see if I can handle it. (Ive gotten a lot of emails challenging me to find some graves -- my success rate so far is about 85%. Believe me, Ive had some grateful people!!!!)
If you really want to say thank you, how about sponsoring one of my memorials that I create here? You're supporting FindaGrave and allows them to connect people with their loved ones. Its only $5 a memorial. =)
** For those of you who want permission to use my photos, have at it. I hold no copyrights to any of the photos that I take. **

Where are the next points coming from..?
Its time for the players to earn their money.
We are so lucky that this season there are several other clubs who are struggling too, there's plenty of points to play for and we could scrape it IF the players play their hearts out and grab us crucial points...For this to happen Southgate needs the full support of the dressing room and thats doesnt seem to be happening at the moment, either get rid of GS or cut loose the rotten wood and bring in some fresh blood...be that from other teams or the reserves.
We desperately need our experienced defenders back in the side, Poggy & Huth. Taylor & McMahon are too inexperienced as was proved against West Brom when McMahon gifted them the first goal. Wheater & Riggot havent the experience to lead the defense yet. Selling Luke Young last year is looking to be a big mistake when its now we could do with him most.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

yes we certainly are not firing at the back or front this year and a young niave middle and back room staff just tops it all off..we have a handful of premiership players but not premiership tactics and coaching....The solution..a goal scorer (scoring goals changes games even when the opposition is on top)..more solid midfield..o'neil is not good enough to play there, digard has shown some great touches but gives far too much ball away(the first thing I tell the boys I coach..if the opposition haven't got the ball they can not score....!!!
I do hope we can turn things around for everyone at the clubs sake especially SG and GS…come on boys play your hearts out…come back room staff just your brains….come on board use your wallets….

AbstractThe proposed program will provide the preliminary design of a 10 kilowatt thermoelectric generator that can be used on the Army's Stryker and other similar vehicles. the proposed generator will directly convert energy in the exhaust of the Stryker's engine to electricity using advanced quantum well thermoelectric materials. It will also investigate the use of this generator as a separate APU by the addition of a logistic fuel burner and control system. The program will also investigate the applicability of this generator to other vehicles such as the FCS, Future Scout and LAV as well as the feasability of using a similar system on the exhaust of the Abrams Tank's gas turbine engine. The preliminary design of a quantum well based thermoelectric module for the 10 kW generator will be completed during Phase I. the eggcrate, element contacts, the necessary tooling, and film production for a prototype quantum well module for the 10 kW generator is proposed during the Phase I Option.

OKC Thunder vs. Mavericks: This isn't the same Dallas team that beat OKC in 2011
The Dallas Mavericks won the 2011 NBA title, then abdicated the throne. Virtually declared that there would be no repeat in 2012.
Having finally captured the carrot he long had chased, Maverick owner Mark Cuban decided to play for long-term glory.
Cuban let defensive demon DeShawn Stevenson go to New Jersey as a free agent (fine).
Let waterbug point guard J.J. Barea go to Minnesota as a free agent (uh, OK).
Let splendid center Tyson Chandler go to New York as a free agent (what was he thinking?).
The Mavs went into rebuilding mode immediately upon grasping the O'Brien Trophy, all in the name of securing payroll cap room for 2012 free agents Dwight Howard and Deron Williams.
Williams, a Dallas guy, is a sensible recruit, since current Mav point guard Jason Kidd debuted in the peach-basket days and will retire any decade now.
But Howard? One thing we've learned this season is that Chandler is the equal of Howard as an NBA center.
Not that the Thunder is complaining. The Baby Boomers were Dallas' Western Conference Finals victims last May, but now it's the Thunder with title hopes, while the Mavs have scraped into the playoffs as the seventh seed.
Which was the plan all along, Cuban said Thursday, the final day of the NBA regular season. Just get to the playoffs and take your chances.
But the Dallas team that needed only five games to beat the Thunder in a seven-game series last season has changed dramatically.
"So many key members of their championship team last year are on other teams," said Thunder point guard Derek Fisher, whose Lakers were swept by Dallas in the 2011 West semifinals. "Tyson Chandler, DeShawn Stevenson, J.J. Barea. (Peja) Stojakovic retires. So there are a number of guys that did great things for them last year that just aren't there."
The Mavs still have their old pros. Superstar Dirk Nowitzki. Supersub Jason Terry. Kidd. Shawn Marion. Just so no one would think Cuban was interested in a youth movement, he signed 35-year-old Vince Carter. That's five prime players at least 33 years old.
Meanwhile, the Thunder's four best players are all under 24.
But give the Mavericks credit. They still play the same way. The foot soldiers have changed; the strategy has not.
Dallas plays tough team defense, then on offense spreads the floor and passes the ball and produces its fair share of open shots.
"They're still trying to put Dirk and Terry into situations where they get an advantage, forcing you to help," said the Thunder's Nick Collison. "Then they're really good passers.
"They're still tough. Maybe they didn't have the regular season they wanted. But now that they're in the playoffs, I think this is where they kind of wanted to get all year."
Still, the Thunder is thrilled that Barea and Chandler are elsewhere.
Chandler dominated the paint defensively a year ago. The Chandler/Brendan Haywood center combo was much tougher than the Haywood/Ian Mahinmi duo that Dallas now deploys.
And Barea long has been a Thunder foil. He's about five-foot-nothing but magically finds his way to the basket possession after possession, no matter if he's in Maverick blue or Timberwolf green.
Delonte West and Roddy Beaubois are good and interesting players in Barea's stead, but the Thunder will take its chances with them, thank you very much.
Still, this won't be an easy series for the Thunder, because of that Dallas defense.
"They're still a veteran team, a smart team," Fisher said. "Any team that's won a championship in recent years … they're still very capable.
"They had some injuries and some ups and downs of the season. But what they've continued to do, similar to last year, was on the defensive end. I think they've figured out a way, even without Chandler's protection at the basket, to still be a really solid defensive team."
The Thunder-Mav series a year ago was fiercely contested. All five games decided by single digits.
The Mavericks were the better team a year ago. This year, the Thunder is the better team. But neither has played well down the stretch, which is why it will take the Thunder awhile to advance.
Thunder wins in seven, then Cuban can hit the free agent market and resume trying to win an NBA championship.

A one months ago, if I pay full price for rage away game license then I understand that I would not be permitted to sell my license of Rage away. Trading me a product, and then telling me its not mine to do with, what I decide, is undesirable. Is any part of the game still absolutely mine upon buy?
if providers are going to tell me which is you do not take delivery of the complete game which is 100 % content upon purchasing a old , or selling a second-hand game. I just wont purchase it while its full cost. As consider that if they didnt tell me if youre not permissible to sell your car" "if you purchase a second-hand car, you will have to give extra charges directly to car to use the pre-owned car.
Software companies can deal one manufactured goods an endless number of period. Create it once and put on the market it a limitless number of periods, for the rest of time. Its to the end where they dont even have to create physical objects anymore. Just copies information. And yet they are still trying to cancel my purchase. Is this right?

It was close, but [artist id="960856″]Linkin Park[/artist] managed to burn a bit brighter than [artist id="1838768″]Trey Songz[/artist] on the Billboard 200, earning their latest, A Thousand Suns, the #1 spot on next week's chart thanks to sales of 241,000 and a boost from a thrilling VMA performance . According to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, the Rick Rubin-produced Suns outpaced Songz's Passion, Pain & Pleasure by just over 1,000 copies, with the R&B lover man's fourth CD sliding in right behind at #2 on sales of 240,000.
Both discs far outpaced the handful of other debuts in the top 10, which also include bearded country outlaw Jamey Johnson's two-disc Guitar Song (#4, 63,000), former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant's rootsy Band of Joy (#5, 49,000) and the indie label debut of Weezer, whose Hurley comes in at #6 thanks to 45,000 units moved.
Also debuting in the top 10 at #8 is the first solo album from Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, Flamingo, which sold 41,000 copies.
The usual suspects make up the rest of the top 10, with Eminem seemingly getting a post-VMA boost as sales ticked up 10 percent for his Recovery. The 89,000 copies sold land him at #3 and push Slim Shady just shy of the 2.6 million mark, making Em less than 40,000 copies shy of taking the 2010 sales championship crown from Lady Antebellum. Also holding in the top 10 are the NOW 35 compilation (#7, 41,000), Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (#9, 40,000) and Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 (#10, 36,000).
It was a brief stay in the top 10 for singer/songwriter Sara Bareilles, whose Kaleidoscope Heart tumbles 11 spots in week two to land at #12 as sales dropped off by 69 percent to 28,000.
One act that undoubtedly got the VMA bump was England's Florence and the Machine , with Lungs rocketing up 30 spots to #14 as sales picked up by 165 percent to 21,000 following the band's thrilling performance at the MTV awards show. Drake, Lady Gaga and Usher also saw modest post-VMA sales gains.
Godsmack singer Sully Erna makes it to #24 with his solo album, Avalon (14,000), and moody rockers the Walkmen are just behind at #27 with Lisbon (13,000). Psychedelic collective Of Montreal hit #34 with False Priest (11,000). Much further down the line, reunited indie legends Superchunk scared up nearly 6,000 buyers for their first studio album in nine years, Majesty Shredding (#85).
Linkin Park did their thing on the iTunes charts as well, taking the top spot, followed by Songz, Eminem, Johnson, Flowers, the online-only release of the latest Kings of Leon album, Come Around Sundown (#6), Bareilles, Florence and the Machine, Weezer and Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More.
Though iTunes does not release sales data, you can be sure Rihanna was celebrating her latest chart topper on the site's singles chart with the Doritos-ad jingle "Only Girl (In the World),"
which pushes Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" down to #2. There was little movement on the chart, with Usher hanging around at #3 with "DJ Got Us Fallin'
in Love," followed by Perry's "Teenage Dream," Nelly's "Just a Dream," Far East Movement's "Like a G6," Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," Flo Rida's "Club Can't Handle Me," Taio Cruz's "Dyamite" and Enrique Iglesias' fist-pumping "I Like It."
There will undoubtedly be more shuffling at the top of the Billboard chart next week with new albums from Maroon 5, Selena Gomez, John Legend and the Roots, the Zac Brown Band and Santana.

Enterprising Students Given a Helping Hand; ENTREPRENEURSHIP Advertising Feature
JMU's Liverpool Business School is committed to helping companies and budding entrepreneurs contribute to the economic development of Merseyside. Below are two examples of how they are making this happen
LIVERPOOL Business School is running a Graduate Enterprise scheme for undergraduates with the help of business advisers Howard Woodcock from Bibby Line and Cris McGuiness from KPMG.
The Graduate Enterprise scheme is a branch of Young Enterprise, which operates in schools and sixth form colleges. A small number of universities have run pilot schemes and, in 1999/2000, JMU was the first university in the North West to introduce such a scheme.
Students can now set up their own "company" as part of their studies. Assessment for academic credit will not depend on whether the company succeeds or fails, but on the learning gained by the experience, demonstrated by producing a portfolio of evidence, a report and a presentation to their tutors and business advisors.
The students are supported by the Young Enterprise Company which provides a pack of information, insurance and the services of their team.
The students set up a company, write a business plan, open a business bank account, sell share capital, market their product or service and deal with the HR issues. They have the assistance of a tutor, two business advisers and the resources of the university.
This year a group of accountancy and finance students have come up with a design for an innovative product under the guidance of tutor Bridget Price. In addition, the students have received invaluable advice from business incubator Hothouse on how to protect their design. Bridget said: "This is a very exciting and rewarding experience for the students to 'practise' their business idea in a safe environment."
The amount of work involved for the students and the difficulties of working together, very often self-directed, is both a challenge and a wonderful learning experience.
One of the previous group, having recently returned from a placement year with Hewlett Packard, is now giving her time to advise this year's students of the pitfalls and how to avoid them.
The Business School is considering lengthening the time that students are able to spend on this scheme, thus allowing further development of their ideas. The school would also like to extend the number of students working on the scheme, opening it up to students from around the university to allow differing skill mixes, as you would have in any small business.
Liverpool Business School is committed to playing a major part in the economic development of Merseyside and the North West, and the development of future entrepreneurs is one of its major objectives. It prides itself on the employability of its students and believes that this innovative entrepreneurial approach to the traditional undergraduate degree will give students a significant career advantage.
Additional business advisors will be needed to support the students, and any interested business person should contact Bridget Price on 0151-231 3830.
AN academic team led by Ann Mulhaney from the Liverpool Business School is currently working in partnership with P&R Laboratory Group of St Helens on a two-year TCS Programme.
The aim is to audit key business and information processes and to structure and redesign these processes to support planned and future growth.
The programme recruited JMU graduate Jackie Hughes in July 2000 to facilitate the twoyear scheme. This has involved an in-depth analysis of the company in order to facilitate a business process re-engineering exercise. The intended result is to achieve streamlined business processes, supported by a fully integrated IT information system in line with ISO 9001:2000 accreditation. …

'He Not Only Identifies with Dylan Thomas but Often the Two Merge' Actor Bob Kingdom Is about to Resurrect His One-Man Show about Dylan Thomas and He's Planning to Premiere Another about King Edward VIII. He Tells Karen Price How He Picks People to Portray
* ichael Sheen isn't the only Welsh actor who's renowned for his accurate portrayals of real people.
For Bob Kingdom is something of a chameleon too.
On the stage he's already brought authors Dylan Thomas and Truman Capote, funnyman Stan Laurel and FBI chief J Edgar Hoover back to life.
In fact, he's even taken on the guise of American high society party hostess Elsa Maxwell.
Now he's looking forward to recreating a royal figure - the Duke of Windsor, the man who abdicated as King Edward VIII.
Kingdom hopes to premiere his one-man show, An Audience With The Duke Of Windsor, in the coming months.
So why was he keen to tackle the role of the playboy royal who gave up the throne to marry American divorcee Wallace Simpson? "I do people I know I can do," admits the Cardiff-born actor.
"I do those who are within my range vocally and physically. I want to be able to become that person.
"I wouldn't think I was giving value for money if that didn't occur."
When he decided to create a show about Hoover, who was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, he decided to introduce Maxwell, who was famous for throwing lavish parties, into the performance.
"I thought it would be nice to portray a woman," says Kingdom. "Setting my vanity to one side I thought I could look like her. Hoover had come out as a cross-dresser so I thought I would put the two characters together. I thought that if he was in drag he wouldn't look unlike Elsa Maxwell."
Kingdom started work on his show about the Duke of Windsor in March and he's now looking forward to staging it.
It will focus on the time when the royal was writing his autobiography and was looking back at his life as he penned his thoughts.
"People have so many opinions about him," he says.
But before then he will be returning to what is perhaps his most famous role of all - that of Dylan Thomas.
Kingdom premiered Dylan Thomas: Return Journey at the Edinburgh Festival in 1985.
Four years later, Hollywood star Sir Anthony Hopkins directed a theatre tour.
The Oscar-winner had watched Kingdom perform the piece at a restaurant in Soho, London, and was keen to get involved.
"For many years I wanted to play Dylan Thomas in either a play or a film," The Silence of the Lambs star revealed in the past. …

More Security for Large Companies: gateprotect Presents Secure Web Gateway
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Hamburg - With its new Secure Web Gateway (SWG), the German IT Security specialist gateprotect is launching a new security product with innovative WebGUI. The solution is a security system for complex IT infrastructures and creates an additional security layer in the network of large companies. The specialized platform is able to respond to threats quickly thanks to a combination of several technologies and thus relieves the firewall and provides for maximum security.
Right in time for the CeBIT (Hall 12, booth C82), gateprotect AG Germany is presenting a new security solution for the enterprise market by launching the Secure Web Gateway (SWG). The security specialists of gateprotect are thus addressing the new security risks that have evolved through working in the cloud and with web-based applications as well as an increased use of social media channels in companies.
The Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is focused on the defense against malware and combines several technologies for detecting and preventing undesired data traffic. For example, the social media guidelines of a company can now be monitored and regulated better.
The platform developed by gateprotect AG Germany combines an innovative WebGUI with a unique multi-admin concept as well as the functionalities of a Secure Web Gateway on a high-performing hardware. "Our new security product can address the manifold and steadily evolving web 2.0 threats in a more targeted manner", explains Stephan Ziegler, CTO of gateprotect AG Germany. "The SWG relieves the firewall and provides for a better performance. Moreover, the unique graphic operating concept of the WebGUI saves time, reduces errors and facilitates the work even for several administrators working simultaneously." In the multi-user concept of the WebGUI, all logged-in administrators as well as the details of current workflows are visible. Thus, it can be seen clearly who is working on what and who has just modified or deleted what. In the chatbox, all logged-in security specialists can exchange their thoughts or follow the communication of the others. This facilitates the work especially in larger networks with a complex IT infrastructure and several responsible administrators and assures a better overview.
As a matter of principle, the SWG platform supports both IPv4 and IPv6, which is important especially in mixed networks. Since the configuration interface is functioning as a web client, only a browser is required.
The functionalities at a glance: detection, recognition of malware and protection against it URL filter: dynamic categorization of websites Content Inspection: filtering of websites based on contents Application Control: control of the way how applications in the web environment (web 2.0 applications) are used and deployed authentication of users: the user context is included in the set of rules central management via the platform-independent WebGUI with multi-user concept extensive reporting / logging and auditing full support of IPv4 and IPv6 Customer benefits at a glance: specific, efficient security platform creates an additional security layer in the network relieves firewall systems in complex infrastructures fit for the future through support of mixed IPv4 and IPv6 networks browser-based user interface, allows for secure administration from different locations unique graphic operating concept saves time, reduces operator errors and facilitates the work even for several administrators working simultaneously administrators working at the same time can communicate directly and efficiently avoid potential conflicts in the configuration Download this press release under:
About gateprotect gateprotect AG Germany has been a leading, globally acting provider of IT security solutions in the area of network security for ten years. These solutions comprise next generation firewalls with all commonly used UTM functionalities, Managed Security as well as VPN client systems. To minimize the risk of operator errors in highly complex security functions, gateprotect has developed the eGUI interface concept. The patented eGUI technology (ergonomic Graphic User Interface) and the Command Center based thereon for the configuration and administration of firewall systems for managed security service providers (MSSPs) increase the factual security in companies and companies and allow for an efficient ongoing maintenance of the systems. Reputable companies and institutions in more than 80 countries are among the users of about 23,000 installed licenses worldwide. Since 2010, gateprotect has been listed in the renowned Gartner "Magic Quadrant" for UTM firewall appliances in the SMB market and is currently going through the "Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL 4+)" - a certification procedure at the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). For the easy handling and comprehensive security of the UTM firewall solutions, gateprotect was the first German company to be awarded the Frost & Sullivan Excellence Award.

1. Your mortgage
Many mortgage agreements state borrowers need written consent from lenders
before they rent out property.
Take a look at your mortgage agreement or ask your mortgage lender directly
to find out whether you need consent.
2. Screening tenants
Visit the Residential Landlords
Association website, which provides 10 tips to screen potential tenants and avoid professional con artists.
3. Written tenancy agreement
Having a signed tenancy agreement will make it easier to deal with any
disputes, should they arise. Find a solicitor who specialises in landlord-tenant law for advice.
4. Energy Performance Certificate
All new rental properties in the UK now require EPCs. Rules vary by
jurisdiction. For more information, read Guide to Energy Performance Certificates (England and
Wales), or visit NI Direct (Northern Ireland) or Scottish Building Standards (Scotland).
5. Property license
Houses in Multiple Occupation are subject to mandatory
licensing by local authorities. Again, rules vary by jurisdiction. Click on a link
below for further information:
6. Local authority registration
Scottish landlords must register with their local authorities. For more
information, visit Better Renting Scotland.
England, Northern Ireland, and Wales do not have mandatory landlord
registration schemes, but that could change soon.
7. Gas & electrics
Landlords must maintain all gas appliances and arrange and pay for an annual
safety check by an engineer certified by Gas Safe
(Great Britain and the Isle of Man) or CORGI (Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands). For more
information, read Gas Safety
In addition, landlords should ensure the electrical system and all appliances
are safe to use. For more information, read Guide to Electrical Safety.

All landlords must comply with UK fire safety regulations. For more
information, read Furniture and Furnishings Fire Safety Requirements and LACORS'

you own a tenement ), Common Sense, Common Property
10. Rental deposit protection
In England and Wales, almost all deposits should be protected by a Tenancy
Deposit Protection Scheme (TDPS). For more information, visit Directgov.
Scotland passed legislation to introduce mandatory TDPS in 2006; however, the
Scottish Government has delayed implementation and encouraged landlords to join
a voluntary accreditation scheme instead.
Currently, there is no mandatory TDPS in Northern Ireland, but the Northern
Ireland Executive recently announced it is being considered.
11. Property management companies
All of the above legal responsibilities should be dealt with before you let your property. If you do not have time to do everything, you should
consider paying a property management company to do it for you.
12. Landlord Insurance
Obtain comprehensive landlord insurance to protect your property.

Dang, now I wish I'd gotten into hacking ROMs just a bit earlier. Maybe Advance Trainer or Pokemon Editor would have stood a chance...
Either way, I'm very impressed by these tools you've made, and they've been very helpful in the hack I'm working on. I'm looking forward to what comes up next.
Hey guys, I'm still alive. Not really sure if I want to continue Twisted Path though.

Hello Stefan,
I looked back a month in the forum but couldn't find my exact problem.
My slideshow was working perfectly until today when I tried editing my search.php file in the theme I'm using. I then noticed that my slideshow was more narrow than the 500 I have the width set at.
I fixed my search.php file to what it was originally, but the slideshow still wasn't working at the correct width. I really can't believe just opening up the search.php would cause the slideshow to stop working. But I wanted to let you know what I had done.
Anyway, since that slideshow would not go to the 500 width any longer, I created a new slide show duplicating the other and set it at 500 width.
It won't go to my desired width. I looked at it in IE and Chrome, both are the same. I did a hard refresh and still not working.
Thanks for any help you can give,

International Society and America's
War on Terrorism
The evidence presented in Chapter 6 contributes to the general argument that the United States prefers an international society of states because it is in this kind of society that it can preserve the preferred image of itself and advance its particular interests. The United States was able to gain through its bilateral relationships with weaker states, and through the UN Security Council, the kind of guarantees that it was unable to gain from the ICC and its supporters. This chapter advances that argument one stage further by focusing on the US response to a postmodern challenge of a very different kind, al-Qaeda. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 were clearly crimes against humanity and for some commentators an appropriate response would have been the creation of a special international court. An ad hoc arrangement such as this would have been required because the attacks fell outside the temporal jurisdiction of the ICC.1 It is clear, however, that the Bush administration's suspicion of international criminal justice was not the only factor preventing such a move. The perception existed that the terrorist threat had developed because the law, particularly under the Clinton administration, had hamstrung US policy.2 After 9/11, the United States would interpret the terrorist threat through the prism of 'war' rather than 'crime' and the President would claim broad executive powers including the ability to determine when international law could restrain US actions. As is explained below this response has been contested in US courts. This is significant to the extent that the Bush administration's perception of international law is not necessarily representative, but this is not the focus of this chapter. The purpose of this chapter is instead to demonstrate how in their response to the threat posed by violent non-state actors, US
