Big box store has ads for electronic items to go on sale at 5 a.m. They don't put in their ads about getting a voucher at 3 a.m. Then what? Stand in the store for two hours until 5 a.m.? By 5:12, most of those items are vouchered out. A smaller electronic store down the street had two items per store on one item. So after you sell the items you have in stock, what is the purpose of the sale? To the big box store..do you really think I am going to stand in those line for a $5 doll or game at 5:12 a.m.? I and many other people found our way to the door empty handed.

Battery Life, Hyperions Vs Miniaviation.
Just for info, not scientific, no test figures, no earth shattering proof, just my experience.
After months of stress caused by an intermittent contact on my tail my Baby is now flying like a dream and backward flight mixed in with lots of flips and attempts at Tic-Tocs are on the menu every flight. At the start of my troubles I thought that my cells were getting tiered so I purchased 2 Hyperions and 4 Mini Aviations to try, both types were a vast improvement on my old tiered 240 Hyperions giving me my 4,5 minutes flight time back (when my Baby survived a whole flight) but due to all the crashing I didn't really get to test and compare. I try to use my cells in rotation so that all 6 have had around the same use but cannot accurately say how many cycles (maybe 30 50) that they have had. I only charge at 1C but have parallel charged them and have left them fully charge for up to a week at a time (me bad).
Anyway, I can now objectively compare the cells and can report that all 4 MAs trigger LVC at between 2,30 and 4 minutes with a lack of power for the last minute. The Hyperions sound to have a higher head speed (really noticeable for the first 2 minutes, she really buzzes) and when my timer goes off at 4,30 I can still flip really tight and the tail holds in fast backward flight. I flew all 6 packs today and have just put between 158 and 172 mAh back into the MAs and 252-267 into the Hyperions (too much, I know).
Not meant to criticize or plug a product, just to report what I have found at the moment, both types seemed to be pretty good at first but the Hyperions seem to have held up better than the Mini Aviations in the long term.
I will be buying Mini Aviation products again but in this case the Hyerions won the 'life expectancy' test.
Hello all... I'm kind of new to this side of the forum, as I have spent most of my short time here in the foamy planes section.... but with the help of a friend and fellow club member, I decided to get my first heli. Being as I have flown planes for a while, sport and 3d, and some coaxial heli's, he suggested the mcpx for my first "real" heli. I wanted something a tad bigger, like the 130x, but since the mcpx is a little cheaper, and from what I have seen, can handle some crashes (over tall grass), i went with it. Also, hoping to work on hovering in my house over the winter.
So, here I am. Got my mcpx last week, read over the manual a few times, back and forth from forums to forums... reading, learning, reading... I decided to maiden it last night. Just brief hovers 6"-12" off the carpet for a couple of seconds at a time... but wow... this is definately a big step up from the coaxials. I went to bed a happy camper last night. i can't wait to practice again! I haven't read through this entire thread yet, as it will take some time, but plan to do so. This is an awesome little heli!!!

Welcome to the collective pitch world, JForbes. Watch the main rotor "plate". It moves before the heli does. Also don't just react to what it does, TELL it what to do. You will learn much faster that way. Good luck,
Garry K.
@jforbes You made the right choice learning collective pitch with this heli vs. 130x or nano, both great helis in their own ways but not quite as forgiving in crashes (130x) or flitty (nano). My advice for indoor flying is keep the mcpx away from walls, drinking glasses, TVs or parked cars in the garage, you'd be surprised what it can do, don't ask how i know.
Have fun, heli 3d is super addictive.

welcome to our family, and just go slow on the learning curve and do time your flight. also read the charger so that your lipos batt. are ready charged when you get the led s sweeping from side to side on the charger. Good Luck and Best Regards.
Thanks guys! I've been practicing a little over carpet. Taking it slow. I'm getting together with a friend from our club tomorrow who is an experienced heli pilot to have him verify all my radio settings and maybe do a few flights on it just to make sure all is well. I love rcgroups forum. I have met some great folks here and found a great wealth of knowledge. Thank you all!!
anyone with a plug and play brushless setup for this heli?
Got my first official "maiden flight" on my mcpx. I love this little thing. I'd been practicing some hovers in my house, but got it out at the flying club yesterday and beautiful and very calm weather. This thing is a blast! This is my first cp heli, but I'm so glad I went this this one. I know that it will be great to learn and grow with! I really wanted a 130x and even looked at some 450 size heli's, but I think I made the right move now. I can't wait to fly it again!
I'm currently thinking of taking a mcpx for next forthcoming Christmas...
Will be the v2 for sure, but I've read here and there about different versions of the 3-in-1 called e.g. 1.3 and 1.5. Do I need to check anything else beyond the heli version before buying, or If I take the mcpx v2 I'm sure I get the latest hardware and firmware?

PerfTrack is the feedback and monitoring system inside of Windows 7 that performs measurements on, well, all things related to the overall performance of the OS, especially as it relates to system responsiveness to user actions. So, when you click on something
(an icon, a folder name, etc...), how long does it take for the user to receive an expected reaction from the system? What are the bottlenecks that lead to a poor experience (user-observable latency) when using some feature in Windows? Is the root problem
in the design of the feature itself or with the underlying OS? Enter PerfTrack.
Here, Development Manager David Fields and Group Program Manager Bill Karagounis share their wisdom and experience in the world of OS performance analysis. David and Bill explain how PerfTrack works and we digress into an interesting conversation about power management.
PerfTrack is an example of a technology that provides incredibly important real-world information to Windows engineers that can be used to solve performance problems in Windows.
Oops, something didn't work.
Perftrack mentioned here just used internally at Microsoft ? Are they any similar benchmark programs ? is this part of the undocumented APIs?

A federal jury in North Carolina convicted three Muslin men Thursday for plotting to commit acts of terror.
The trial centered on a plot to carry out terrorist attacks on a U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico, Va., and overseas targets.
According to prosecutors, Omar Aly Hassan, 22, Ziyad Yaghi, 21, and Hysen Sherifi, 24, raised money and trained with weapons to support the jihadist plot. An American Muslim-convert led the small group of jihadists, which were based near Raleigh, N.C.
The three men were convicted after two days of deliberations.
Sherifi and Yaghi could receive life-sentences for their role in the plot. Hassan could to face up to 15 years in prison.

MORRISTOWN — The city will issue nine building code and zoning violations to the landlord of a four-family home where an arson fire routed more than 20 residents and injured a firefighter early Sunday, officials said today.
The blaze at 50 Sussex Ave. occurred Sunday at 4:34 a.m. One of the four rental units showed "every indication of stacking," or illegal overcrowding, said Morristown Mayor Tim Dougherty.
As a result, the town today will issue seven code enforcement violations and two zoning violations, all of which carry a maximum $2,000 fine, said Dougherty, noting that jail time also is a possible penalty for stacking.
The building, owned by "absentee (out-of-town) landlords," also has had "numerous violations from stacking to zoning violations and numerous police calls over a nine-year period. It's been a troubled site over many years," Dougherty said. "We're going to take this (enforcement) as far as we can to the letter of law, to send a message to absentee landlords that this is unacceptable."
The building's owners could not be reached for comment.
No arrests have been made. An investigation that remains ongoing has determined the fire was deliberately set, authorities have said.
Upon arrival, Morristown Fire Capt. John Practhauser and police officers Kevin Beal and Teddy Jones ran into the building to evacuate residents, as other firefighters began battling the blaze at the rear of the home, authorities said.
Firefighter Dominick Prizzi was injured when a portion of the house collapsed, striking him and knocking off his helmet and face mask. Prizzi was hospitalized for injuries and smoke inhalation and released.
"I can't speak highly enough of our police officers and our fire department. They put their own lives at risk to save lives," Dougherty said.

HOLLAND – Holland's City Council is expected to vote next week on the Board of Public Works plan to build a controversial new $182 million natural gas-fired power plant.
The 114-megawatt facility, which was approved by the Board of Public Works last week, would be built at another location around the Holland area instead of the present coal-fired James DeYoung plant on Lake Macatawa.
The council is expected to vote Nov. 28 on whether to give the project the go-ahead.
"The (proposed project) would lead to dramatic reductions in greenhouse gases and particulate emissions, while at the same time making big gains in energy and cost efficiency," utility General Manager Dave Koster said.
The project calls for a generating configuration that combines two gas-powered turbines and one steam turbine. The new facility would become the primary source of electric power generation for BPW, as several coal-fired units at DeYoung are phased out.
"We want to make sure that we provide a highly reliable system of power for our community that is fiscally sound, but is also able to significantly reduce our environment impact," BPW board Chairman Tim Hemingway said.
The BPW's action also calls for no further capital investments in pollution control technology at the DeYoung plant, where a 28-megawatt unit is set to stop burning coal in three to four years. Two other units totaling 33 megawatts could also be affected under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations that are being reconsidered, Koster said.
All three of the DeYoung units could be used to burn natural gas once they are no longer burning coal, Koster said.
While pleased that BPW decided against a coal-powered expansion, environmental interests want a firm date for retiring the DeYoung units.
"I'm happy that Holland is moving in the right direction, but we can do even better," said Monica Hallacy, a Holland resident who has advocated for greater use of renewable energy as part of BPW's portfolio. "It's time to set a date to retire the DeYoung plant, so Holland families like mine can breathe easier."
Hallacy has been critical of the utility's decision-making process and environmental concerns that she feels have not gotten the attention they deserve.
The BPW considered a 78-megawatt natural gas facility, but the larger unit will provide many more advantages for the utility and the Holland community, Koster said.
"This option provides economy of scale, an operational efficiency at least 7.5 percent better than the smaller option, additional waste heat for snowmelt and a potential district heating utility, an opportunity to collaborate with other municipal (utilities) and the ability to power our system and community internally," he said.
If the city council approves the proposal, a process for selecting a site would begin. In addition, BPW would engage the services of an owner's engineer to assist in development of the project, which would include applying for an air quality permit.

Barton: God Will Hold You Accountable For How You Vote
David Barton has released a nearly nine minute video explaining to Christians that God will only bless this nation if we are righteous and that our national righteousness is determined by our public policies. As such, if we want God to bless our nation, we have to give him a reason to do so and that is why Christians must vote.
But not only do Christians have an obligation to vote, Barton says, but they will one day have to answer to God for exactly how they used that vote:
We're to seek righteousness first, and dozens of Bible passages affirm that a nation's righteousness is determined by its public policies, by how well those policies conform to God's standards. We love to sing "God Bless America," but if we really want God to bless America, we've got to give him something to work with.
For Christians, voting is not a right, it's a duty. It's a stewardship that we owe to God and it's a stewardship for which we'll answer directly to him. One day we'll stand before him and he'll say "what did you do with that vote I gave you?" And we'll have to answer.
Righteousness must be the issue. It must be the measure to define what we're for politically and what we're against. And each of us will answer to God not only for whether we voted, but for how we voted, for what issues drove our vote.
If we stand before God and He says "why did you vote for a leader who's attempting to redefine my institution of marriage and who wills the unborn children that I knew before they were in the womb?" If He asks us that and our answer is "Because that leader was good on jobs and the economy," He's not going to accept that.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is giving each Texan the agency's entire $11 billion budget to use as they wish.
Press release from TxDOT:
Beginning Monday, June 9, the Texas Department of Transportation will host a series of 25 statewide public meetings to welcome citizens' feedback on a long-range plan for the state's future transportation needs. A meeting will be held in Beaumont Tuesday, June 10, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission.
TxDOT announced that the $68 million dollar project to reconstruct Interstate 10 from West of Adams Bayou in Orange to West of the Sabine River is about to begin and warned drivers to be wary of workers along the roadway.
Drivers heading to work in Port Arthur should expect road delays Monday morning, May 12 as the Port Arthur Police and Texas Department of Transportation will closing off several southbound lanes on Highway 69 to reconstruct an accident that occurred on May 2.

arena football is a very cool sport. it is like normal football except it is played on a 50 yard field with sideboards. the sideboards make for great fun because lots of people tend to run into them while trying to make a catch. It is also very fasted-paced and there are about 100 points scored between both teams on average

Arena Football is like the NFL, only the stadiums are smaller, the players arn't as good, it dosn't nearly have as much strategy, they only usually pass the ball, it's not as exciting, there uniforms are ugly, and there is NO defence!
Announcer: Now it's time for arena football! Now the first team gets the ball passes it deep and it's a touchdown. OK now the other team gets the ball they pass it long and it's a touchdown. Now hears the kickoff he takes it in for a touchdown. Now the other team gets the ball they throw it long and it's a touchdown.

Bently Spang: On Fire
February 1 – March 22, 2014
South Two Gallery
On Fire is part of an ongoing series of works by artist Bently Spang (American, b. 1960) that tells the story of the 2012 Ash Creek wildfire, a fire that devastated his family's ranch located on their ancestral homeland of the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana. In this work, Spang seeks out the story of the fire from the perspective of the trees he grew up with on his family's land. He facilitates their voice through a series of video-documented, performative rubbings on paper of the now charred trees. The resulting installation juxtaposes performance video alongside the rubbings, recalling the dialogue Spang's people have always had with the natural world as a function of maintaining a crucial balance between human and nature. And, the artist posits, with the challenges faced today with climate change, this conversation is more important than ever.

King said what struck her most watching archival interviews in the film was how she and other women in sports in the 1970s tip-toed their way through interviews.
"We were very measured, that we didn't want to alienate people," she said at an August PBS press conference (pictured at left). "We were trying to promote our sport. But I can remember feeling I was always on tightrope when I was speaking. It was never easy. I just could not really be myself. And I think François Duret from France, also, when she commented -- it's like we're always getting asked, "When are you going retire," "When are you going to get married," "When are you going to have babies," "When are you going to do this." And, you know, the men didn't get asked those questions. And yet we were a part of the culture, in how we handled it. We were very concerned, always, with our answers."
And while strides are measureable, King points out the ways in which women continue to lag behind their male counterparts, and not just in sports.
"Sports are a microcosm of society, and all it does is reflect the reality of what it is for women," she said. "It's just difficult. Everything takes time. You know, we're still getting 77 cents on the dollar. We have so far to go, still. I mean, in Congress we're at 19 percent. 4 percent of engineers are women. Thank God for Title IX, 1972, or we'd be even much worse off."

I don't know what VLS and HTTPY are, but it sounds very interesting. Mojo Nation already has a comms system that does automatic firewall-hopping, and a working "introducer" (which is called a "MetaTracker") which maps public key ids to comms addresses and a few other bits of generally useful info. We are in fact trying to promote the comms system as a separately useful package, much as Tyler is advocating for some of the E components. The introductory attempt to do that is visible on my web site in the form of a proposed presentation for the second O'Reilly p2p conference[1]. (By the way, I think that "proposed standard" is premature and inflammatory, so I'm going to change it to something like "a useful tool that you can start using now".) However what we, and everyone else, need is a distributed, attack-resistant, scalable mutable namespace, which seems like a difficult problem and perhaps not even feasible. I'm actively talking to various people who are interested in that project. There are *many* people thinking about variations on that theme and many of them don't know about each other or about the shape of the design space that they are exploring.

AYURVEDA is the 5000-year old science of health and longevity that forms the core of traditional Indian and Tibetan medicine. And the lifestyle, healing modalities, and its many bodywork treatments of Ayurveda make it today's most sought after form of traditional medicine for people looking to reduce stress, heal, and experience rejuvenation. Ayurveda is also the most successful holistic health paradigm in the spa and beauty industries. Massage therapists, aestheticians, personal trainers, and wellness counselors working privately, in clinics, day and destination spas are seeing every day the benefits that Ayurveda is bringing to their clients - and their business.

Our spa products are made with high quality, organic essential oils and are designed to please those who prefer more western aromas. Most of our equipment items are manufactured by local artisans and craftsmen in the USA. Other equipment is sourced with the same high standards in mind.

They are all professional quality, but you do not need to be a professional to order from us, either on our website or by phone.
Both Robert and Melanie are massage professionals and offer these five treatments, other Ayurvedic spa services, and lifestyle counseling.
As part of our mission, we endeavor to preserve Indian and Tibetan Ayurvedic techniques that have become rare even in their homelands. It is our fervent wish that interest in them will not only preserve these techniques, but will also spark greater interest in the entire Ayurvedic and Tibetan medical traditions and other cultural and spiritual contributions offered to humanity by both the peoples of India and Tibet. At the same time, we endeavor to be true to the spirit of both the Indian and Tibetan traditions of Ayurveda in creating new, exciting, and effective treatments for the spa and beauty industries.

Skip to comments.1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed
Posted on 04/27/2012 7:24:15 AM PDT by Academiadotorg
WASHINGTON (AP) The college class of 2012 is in for a rude welcome to the world of work.
A weak labor market already has left half of young college graduates either jobless or underemployed in positions that don't fully use their skills and knowledge.
Young adults with bachelor's degrees are increasingly scraping by in lower-wage jobs waiter or waitress, bartender, retail clerk or receptionist, for example and that's confounding their hopes a degree would pay off despite higher tuition and mounting student loans.
An analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press lays bare the highly uneven prospects for holders of bachelor's degrees.
Opportunities for college graduates vary widely.
While there's strong demand in science, education and health fields, arts and humanities flounder. Median wages for those with bachelor's degrees are down from 2000, hit by technological changes that are eliminating midlevel jobs such as bank tellers. Most future job openings are projected to be in lower-skilled positions such as home health aides, who can provide personalized attention as the U.S. population ages.
Taking underemployment into consideration, the job prospects for bachelor's degree holders fell last year to the lowest level in more than a decade.
"I don't even know what I'm looking for," says Michael Bledsoe, who described months of fruitless job searches as he served customers at a Seattle coffeehouse. The 23-year-old graduated in 2010 with a creative writing degree.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
43% of last years, 38% the year before. And about 63% live with their parents. THE GREAT SOCIETY!!! Way to many degrees in NOTHING!
Most owe tens of thousands of dollars in student loans from their nanny government, too. Lots of luck, grads. You are starting out way behind.
43% of last years, 38% the year before. And about 63% live with their parents. THE GREAT SOCIETY!!! Way to many degrees in NOTHING!
Plus, potential employers are not impressed when they find out a candidate funded their education through loans, instead of working their way through college.
You mean you didn't get an education suited towards the career you wanted? If you got a creative writing degree, you should be looking for a job...where you write creatively.
Apparently the critical thinking class has been cancelled at the local college. At the very least the barista should be offering a resume writing service to his customers...
"The 23-year-old graduated in 2010 with a creative writing degree."
There ya go..is this the new fancy diploma for capuccino maker?
"Saw this in our local newspaper as well. Frightening, as we are about to send our first to college. Have you heard about law school graduates suing their universities for misleading them about employment statistics? I've heard Wake Forest Law used to boast a 90% employment figure prior to graduation - it is now only about 10%. Last year our neighborhood swim team had a Wake law grad as our part-time coach. How's that for "underemployed"?
Get ready for huge healthcare layoffs as well. Medicare and Medicaid payments are supposed to be slashed by 27% over the next 3 years. Private insurance uses these payments as benchmarks, so consider it more of a 25% across the board cut for healthcare. Sounds great if you are the payor, not so great if you are a practice owner or manager.
Our neighbor, a family practice physician, just resigned after working 15-17 hour days for the past 4 months with no relief in sight. Reimbursements for primary caregivers are too low to operate a practice, so they are told to "see more". However, how can you provide quality care in under 10 minutes per patient? Don't forget that you must document every thought, feeling, and action so you don't get sued for "missing something".
Have you seen how much the electronic medical record, so touted in the last election, has improved healthcare??
Are you wallowing in the savings yet??"
Seems to me people of any major should be able to write well, why do they need a degree solely for writing? Write what?
What the hell is a Creative Writing Degree?
It is a degree for people who want to be novelists, playwrights, or scriptwriters, but who lack the talent.
But they never report what all these degrees are in. Are they in some technical field or Creative Writing (professional resume writers)?? I saw on BBC where one employer was wanting all the computer design or software people he could find. History or Classical Studies don't cut it.
I love how the title says "1 out of 2"
It throws people off that aren't good in math :)
I dare them to write "Half of..." LOL
Let's see if they can figure out why...
I see so many businesses requiring degrees. I'm not sure how else they expect their potential candidates to pay for the OUTRAGEOUS prices charged by these overpaid insitutions. I could see 30k or 40k over 4-6 years being worked off, but 100k? It's ridiculous. These insitutions of higher learning should be forced to pay it back.
At the same time, I can't blame anyone who's not impressed with someone's six figure school loan debt, I know I'm not. A few members in my family are in this exact situation and they continue to borrow more. It's insane.
Well maybe if our colleges stopped acting as leftist indoctrination factories, companies would be more willing to hire. Companies want to MAKE money, not give it to the freakin' government. Putting "Marxism" as an interest on your resume doesn't quite cut it.
If it were Bush: 50% of graduates can't find jobs, 4 Times the national unemployment rate.
Not saying to pay their entire way through, but at least enough to pay for maybe books or other expenses instead of just having a free ride, to party all the time.
Obama keeps promoting college education for everyone while also hinting that the government will pay for it if he gets another term.
What percent of jobs in the U.S. actually require a college education?
I doubt if it's a large percent. It would be interesting to know.
Too many kids have been brainwashed into thinking they have to go to college to get a good job.
For the most part, a college education is overrated, particularly in view of the liberal agenda and the soft subjects being taught.
Obama does 'his people' no favors.
***There ya go..is this the new fancy diploma for capuccino maker?****
My thoughts is everyone who wants a college diploma in some off the wall field should first have a background in trades.
Welder-Machinest, Electrician, Plumber-Pipefitter, Heavy equipment operator, truck driver, diesel mechanics, Auto Mechanics, Crane Operator, and many other REAL JOBS.
That way when your pipe dream of a high dollar management job right out of college falls through, you will have a REAL JOB to fall back on.
Now that there is funny I don't care who you are . . .
To increase empoyment, America has to change.
To begin with, our employees must get the same pay and benefits as China. Further, all corporations would have to pay a the same tax as GE. All corporations must not have unions like IBM. The nation would have to live with the same environmental regulations as China. This would make us the lowest cost country in the world.
One more thing. Before starting to work, you would have to become proficient in Chinese. You might not have to relocate.
Young adults with bachelor's degrees are increasingly scraping by in lower-wage jobs waiter or waitress, bartender, retail clerk or receptionist, for example
A degree doesn't equal talent and work ethic. Half of the college graduates don't deserve to even work at McDonalds.
I graduated high school in the early 80's - even back then it was drilled into everyone's minds that you needed a college diploma because having a high school diploma was useless.
A college diploma is the new high school diploma - that is the educational systems plan...
I do understand that young people have kind of been bamboozled by Big Education and growing up thinking EVERYONE goes to college. Well, welcome to reality—it can be harsh. Not everyone should go to college. I'd say half at state unis should be learning a trade. Oh, but their poor widdle self esteem! Seems they were raised by the idiots in the schools that gave everybody a trophy for "participating" and never got a big fat F on their crappy book report because...why, that would damage widdle precious.
I can't tell you how many people I know with a CHILD of 25 living in the basement, asking for $$$ to go out and being absoutely livid when Mammy and Pappy tell them to at least go get a job at Target while waiting for that $85,000 per year position—with massive benefits...the one they got trained for with that fab Gender Studies degree: Diversity Coordinator for a crappy Big Education college.
I heard a guy on a touchy-feely NPR financial program call in and say he had...drum roll....$450,000 in student loans. I kid you not. It made my jaw drop. He had quite the attitude...explaining how he was going to be quite the surgeon in a JUST A FEW MORE YEARS. AND this dope had 2 kids and a wife...seems like the wife is a tad worried and wants him to knock of the additional medical school specialty and GET A JOB. I just don't understand the lack of living in reality lately.
My wonderful Doctor is hanging it up and moving to a little ranch in NM. He can't take it anymore.
I hate Obama.
Become a Doctor of Social Justice! Go to riots, protest Whitey, attend sit-ins, read screeds from history's greatest communists and America-haters, demand Israel be destroyed, demand slavery reparations, assault campus conservatives! All this can be yours, probably tuition-free if you are of an Officially Oppressed Minority. Once a doctor, you will be in high demand by NBC and CBS to appear on their networks and condemn America for not giving you a $200K/year job. Apply today!!
ROFl!!! I hear the capstone experience can be found at any OWLS gathering in one of our nation's city parks ...
Our dear daughter is employed now 2 years after graduation, thankfully. And she worked dang hard for it.
But even she is experiencing a stagnant wage, no raises (just be glad your'e still employed type of attitude), and watches everyday as colleagues say 5-7 years ahead of her who have reached a certain level are increasingly canned once they become "too expensive" for the company to retain.
In other words ...work hard, advance, and they will pull the rug out from under you anyway a few years into it.
Ha ha ha! Hilarious!
But absolutely true. As pointed out elsewhere, the great novelists and poets of all time--how many of them had "Creative Writing" degrees? If you want to write creatively, do so. You may eventually become a success. Of course, if you want someone to foot the bill while you're writing creatively, you may want to get another job, just in case you're not as creative as you think.
Submitted here is an example of student reaction to one of his visits this week to UNC-CH. Clearly, this student cannot appropriately relate the facts disclosed on this thread to the campaigning President in Chapel Hill.
Had students been taught that the debtor is slave to the debtholder, and that the role of government is not to enslave people, but to provide a framework of laws to protect their freedom, they might not be attracted to shallow "rock star" leadership, but to someone who would tell them the truth about their Constitution's limits on power in government.
Sadly, the facts presented in the articles on this thread are not presented to these students, who, likely will not find jobs available because of the "taking" and "spending" philosophy of the redistributionist policies of the past 3+ years, and decades of government's ignoring Constitutional limits on spending, deficits, and debt.
Yep. The people I know have some nice credit card bills to go with their student loans. lol
It's terrible.
Capstone clap or crabs? Or both?
This is exactly the information we need to keep hammering Obama with, non-stop through election day. High unemployment, 50% of college graduates can't get a job, rising energy prices, lower and lower home values, etc.
Obama and his folks have no answer for these numbers, other than try to demonize us. Even the MSM, which has been complicit with Obama all along, can't fudge the numbers enough to make Americans feel better about the direction this country his headed.
Like him or not, Romney has chosen the right path to the White House, focusing on Obama's failures. I expect the notoriously thin-skinned Obama to react wildly.
To understand why so many people are pursuing degrees (even in fields that make no sense), look up the 1971 Supreme Court decision Griggs v. Duke Power. This set in motion the excessive demand for college education as employers, denied the right to winnow out applicants via such means as IQ texts, sought a proxy. That proxy was the sheepskin. They figured that anyone who had graduated from college possessed a certain degree of intelligence.
I am sure that other factors played a role but this makes sense to me.
I might mention that one additional factor is the maturation of the baby boomer generation and their desire to send their children to college.
That should be "IQ tests."
That would not be good
Thanks for citing Griggs v. Duke Power. I knew of the case and its relevance but I couldn't name it just now.
Of course, now that college degrees mean little more than that the bearer paid a bunch of money for a sheet of paper, companies are once again bringing back "assessment tests"...ON TOP OF the degree.
I must admit that I am ignorant of assessment tests. Are they some kind of tests to determine what the student learned in college? Or sre they different from that?
I know that my college administered a series of tests along the lines of what we learned of a grouping of broad categories (history of western civilization, mathematics, etc), but you are saying that companies do this, so the subjects certainly would be different.
Please advise.
My cousin "accidentally" got on a waiting list for a college diploma he wanted because the registrar's office were idiots (his description).
Eventually he got bored and saw the adult education course for HVAC and plumbing. Years later/fast forward, he owns pretty much the contracts for multiple condos and small hotels in downtown. Plumbers and electricians make more money than 9-5 clerks.
I'm not entirely clear on them myself...about the best I can figure out is that they're geared towards understanding the testee's thought processes as well as knowledge.

It all comes down to this.
With one game remaining in the Foothill League boys soccer season, the Valencia Vikings and West Ranch Wildcats remain separated by a single point.
Both teams missed an opportunity on Tuesday, with West Ranch drawing 1-1 with the Golden Valley Grizzlies and Valencia drawing 1-1 with the Hart Indians.
As a result, West Ranch enters today's matchup with 22 points to the Vikings' 21. The two teams play today at West Ranch at 3:15 p.m.
It's pretty simple from here — West Ranch needs a win or a tie to win its third straight Foothill League title. Valencia wins, and the Vikings take the crown.
"The bottom line is we wanted to be able to control our own destiny and we're in the driver's seat," said Valencia head coach Tony Scalercio. "Our goal was to make playoffs this season. To have an opportunity to play for the league championship in the last game, we're really grateful for that."
In the first meeting between the two squads, on Jan. 15, it was Valencia coming out with a 1-0 victory at home.
"I expect we'll be ready for the game (today) and I think we're peaking at the right time," Scalercio said. "And I honestly think it's going to be a great game."
For Golden Valley, the tie with West Ranch was a way to show people it's better than its 1-5-3 league record.
But for Hart, the reward was even greater.
The Indians' draw with Valencia leaves them in third place in the Foothill League, needing only a draw today at home against Canyon at 3:15 p.m. to clinch a CIF-Southern Section Division IV playoff berth.
Things were bleak for Hart right off the bat, as Valencia scored in the second minute off a goal from Jesus Fernandez to put the Vikings ahead.
But Hart senior Jonathan Rose answered back, equalizing in the 58th minute off an assist from Gabriel Robinson.
Robinson has been sidelined for the majority of the season due to a hamstring injury, but provided the pivotal assist to move Hart one step closer to the postseason.
The tie improved the Indians' league record to 4-3-2, giving them 14 points to fourth-place Saugus' 11 points.
The Centurions need a lot of help, though, if they are going to qualify for the postseason.
At 6-9-5 overall, they are unlikely to receive an at-large spot with an overall record under .500. As a result, Saugus needs to defeat Golden Valley at home today at 3:15 p.m., hope Hart loses to last-place Canyon and send the third-place spot from the Foothill League to a tiebreaker.
The first tiebreaker, head-to-head, is even at 1-1. The second tiebreaker would consist of a point system to be determined by the final standings, where a victory over the league champion is worth six points (a tie three points), second-place worth five points, and so on continuing down the standings.
Saugus did everything it could to keep its hopes alive on Tuesday, defeating Canyon 3-0.
Brian Perez scored 10 minutes into the game to put Saugus ahead for good. Danny Torres added the next two goals, both in the second half off assists from Perez.
"I think that my team is finally starting to peak the last six games with us playing every team in our league and playing Canyon twice," said Saugus head coach Seth Groller. "The last six games, only giving up two goals and our only loss in those six games was against West Ranch and that was a 1-0 loss where we were definitely in it. The ball wasn't bouncing our way that day. Regardless with what happens (today) I told my players at practice (Wednesday), knowing this could be our last practice, I'm proud of them and we're playing the kind of soccer that we all knew we were capable of. It's nice to see that, to get a little validation in terms of the hard work everyone has been putting in throughout the season."
Girls soccer
Things aren't so cloudy on the girls side, as Valencia defeated Hart 3-1 on Tuesday afternoon to win its third Foothill League title in program history, and first since 2009.
The championship also marked the first time since 2001 Valencia has won the title outright, after sharing it with Canyon the last time around.
The team also rose to No. 20 in Elite Soccer Report's top 50 national rankings.
Things remained interesting farther down the standings, though, with Canyon, Hart, Saugus and West Ranch jockeying for playoff position.
The Wildcats, thought to be out of the playoff picture after failing to win a game in its first seven league contests, have suddenly surged into fourth-place.
Here's where things stand through nine games: The automatic playoff seeds are gone, with Valencia assured the league's No. 1 seed, and some combination of Hart and Canyon taking the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds, with the two teams battling it out today at Canyon High at 5 p.m.
Canyon, with 15 points, needs only a draw or better to clinch the second seed, while Hart, at 14 points, needs a victory.
"We talked about it (Wednesday) at practice," said Canyon head coach Derek Rusk. "We win or tie and we take second place and we have no interest in a tie. Their mind set is we're going to go in and we have every intention of winning."
Where things get interesting is the fourth-seed, where the finisher would need to apply for an at-large bid into the CIF-Southern Section Division II playoffs, provided it has a .500 record or better.
Saugus, which was stellar during the preleague season, would likely get in, due in large part to its 15-0-0 preleague record.
But a 2-0 loss to West Ranch on Feb. 1 and a 1-1 draw with Canyon on Tuesday have dropped Saugus to nine points, one point behind the Wildcats.
Saugus finishes the season at Golden Valley, a team still looking for its first Foothill League win of the season, but the same team that tied the Centurions 0-0 on Jan. 22.
West Ranch's road is far from smooth, though, with Valencia playing host to the Wildcats at 5 p.m. tonight.
A win locks the Wildcats into fourth, and would give them an over .500 record, as they sit at 7-6-5 entering the final day.
"It feels great to even be in a situation where it's possible to make playoffs," West Ranch head coach Jared White said. "We are excited for the opportunity and ready for the challenge."

This newly added technology plays a vital role in satisfying industries' technology requirements for instantaneous integration through zero latency messaging. 29West, founded in 2002, focused on addressing the lowest-level latency integration that can operate within the largest trading environments; it has more than 100 customers and a significant presence in financial services organizations. This messaging technology can be used for market data distribution of the kind offered by the likes of Reuters and also for trade order routing, trade matching and back office processing in financial services; it has applicability to other industries as well.
This technology acquisition is a significant step that moves Informatica in the messaging market space beyond where IBM and Tibco operate. This technology can be used across a broad range of network and other industry requirements to address customer order processing or supply chain integration and across communications industry integration with hundreds of millions of mobile devices. In fact, the addition of 29West will complement and work well with the recent acquisition of AgentLogic (See: "Informatica Acquires Agent Logic and Enters Operational Intelligence Market") for CEP to enable what I call Operational Intelligence. Our benchmark research on the topic clearly identified the need for real time integration across the enterprise and Internet.
This acquisition announcement comes on the heels of my recent analysis of Informatica at its global analyst summit (See: "Informatica Demonstrates the Value of Data for Every Organization"). The acquisition moves Informatica into a more strategic position in the financial services and global banking industry, but the technology will play a strategic role for a broader market opportunity within the PowerCenter product line. Informatica is busy making acquisitions, including recently acquiring Siperian for MDM to expand its footprint and be seen as the logical provider of integration technologies compared to IBM and Oracle. I believe that Informatica is a critical provider of integration technology across the enterprise and the Internet as well as via cloud computing. It will be important for Informatica to better inform the market on the future of its acquisitions to the product portfolio as the acquisition occurs. With its broadened range of offerings, Informatica will find itself in more CIO strategic review discussions, being invited to address the largest challenges in IT portfolios today – those that involve leveraging existing investments for maximum value through integration.Let me know your thoughts or come and collaborate with me on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

Maurice Cheeks has reached terms to become the 33rd head coach of the Detroit Pistons.
The 56-year-old former head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers replaces Lawrence Frank, who was fired after last season.
Contract terms were not immediately available.
"We're pleased to welcome Maurice Cheeks to the Pistons organization," Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said in a press release. "The leadership and player development qualities he brings as a former player and coach blends nicely with the roster we are building for the future."
Cheeks becomes the Pistons' third coach in four years and their eighth in 14 years.
He worked most recently as an assistant coach with the Oklahoma City and is the second head coach hired on the watch of Pistons owner Tom Gores.
"After spending some time with Maurice, I was very impressed not only with his basketball knowledge but his communication and leadership skills," Gores said. "We are very excited to have someone of his experience and talent help take this franchise into the future."
Cheeks was a star guard for 15 years in the NBA, four of them as an All-Star, after a standout college career at West Texas State.
He led the 76ers to a 1983 NBA championship.
Cheeks' hiring had been expected since he emerged last week as the lead candidate over the other finalist, Nate McMillan.

Holiday travel
Q. Ive started planning early for my holiday travel. Do you have any tips to help me save money?
A. Youre already tapping into one of the ways to save on holiday travel. Buying your tickets a month or more in advance will help you save in a big way. It helps to have flexible travel dates, too.
As for online tools that can help, check out Hipmunk, www.komando.com/coolsites/index.aspx?id=9750, and Kayak, www.komando.com/apps/category.aspx?id=9824.
Both search multiple airlines at once to make sure youre seeing the cheapest fares. As soon as you find a fare within your budget, jump on it. Its likely that the fare will only go up as time passes. And if it goes down, some travel sites will give you back the difference.
Friends on Facebook
Q. I accidentally blocked one of my friends on Facebook. How do I unblock them?
A. Good question. Go to your Facebook page and click the upside-down triangle in the top right corner. Choose Privacy settings and then click Manage Blocking in the Blocked People and Apps section. Youll see a list of names in the Block users section. Click the Unblock button next to any name you want to take off of your block list.
When you block someone on Facebook, they will be removed from your friends list. So, youll have to visit their profile and click Add Friend. Make sure you send them a nice message explaining what happened.
Voice-controlled computer
Q. My brother has limited movement in his arms. Were looking for software that could help him control his computer with his voice. Do you know any good downloads?
A. Yes, I do. However, there are some voice-to-text features already inside both PCs and Macs. In Windows 7 and Vista, go to Start>>Control Panel>>Speech Recognition. Now, as long as you have a microphone I recommend a headset mic for this purpose you can have some voice control.
For Macs, go to System Preferences>>Speech. Youll find a list of pre-defined commands you can say to control your system. If these arent enough control for your brother, look into the programs Dragon Naturally Speaking (PCs) and Dictate (Macs).
Also, there are more powerful medical versions that your brother may be able to qualify for.
Hard drive noise?
Q. My hard drive is suddenly making weird clicking noises. Are these noises anything to worry about?
A. Hard drives can make noise when reading or writing files. However, if youre hearing these sounds more often or louder than usual, its not a good sign. It means your hard drive is struggling and could be near death.
Of course, you should always double check. Use a tool like CrystalDiskInfo, www.komando.com/downloads/category.aspx?id=11513, to analyze what exactly is causing your hard drive noises.
If it turns out that your hard drive is close to dying, theres not much you can do other than buy a new one and back up all of your information. Make sure youre backing up regularly to avoid losing any precious data.
Road trip gadgets
Q. Im going to go on a trip in an RV. Would a laptop, smartphone or tablet be the best gadget to take along?
A. I would recommend taking along a smartphone and a laptop. The smartphone will be useful when you have to call home, and the laptop will make it easier to surf the Web without running up a cellular data plan. Laptops also make it easier to download and watch movies on your trip than tablets would, since laptops have more storage space. Tablets are more useful if you have Wi-Fi on-board. Thats not easy on the open road between stops. You can use JiWires Wi-Fi finder, www.komando.com/coolsites/index.aspx?id=11678, to help you find campsites and rest stops that offer free Wi-Fi when youre not driving, though.

IFP and Festival Genius are in the midst of the first round of voting for their 3rd annual Audience Award for the 22nd Gotham Independent Film Awards. This award celebrates audience award winners from across the Top 50 U.S. and Canadian film festivals.
For those who hit the festival circuit this year, it is no secret that there were a bevy of fantastic independent films circulating the various festivals. From enlightening documentaries to heartwarming features, filmmakers had audiences laughing, crying, and reminiscing along with their characters on screen. None more so than Neil Berkeley's Beauty is Embarrassing, which is up for the Gotham Independent Film Awards.
The ITVS-funded film, which is coming to Independent Lens this season, is a funny, irreverent, and inspiring documentary featuring the life and times of one of America's most idiosyncratic artists, Wayne White. The film chronicles the vaulted highs and crushing lows of the Tennessean commercial artist, who got his big break when he helped create the marvelously unhinged children's show Pee-Wee's Playhouse. His off-kilter style and self-deprecating sense of humor offer a peak into an imagination that refuses to grow up.
The first round of voting for the Audience Award is well underway, with the winner to be announced at the 22nd Gotham Independent Film Awards on November 26th, 2012.

New Developments
New Biomedical Waste Vendor
The University has switched to a new vendor for our biohazardous waste, and this change comes with new containers. While EHLS will still provide cardboard biohazard boxes as a temporary measure while the campus transitions to new reusable plastic containers. The containers are compatible with "lab lids" that provide an approved closure for accumulation in compliance with existing requirements for closed containers. For more information on the transition and what biohazardous waste producers need to know, check out our quick tutorial.
Texas Tech Laboratory Releases Report on 02/02/2015 Incident
Three undergraduate students and a graduate assistant were injured in February, and investigation has determined that improper segregation of waste was the culprit. In this case, the storage of nitric acid (an inorganic acid) with organic waste from the laboratory experiment resulted in the catastrophic failure of the container when one student attempted to open it to add waste. EHLS is committed to the safe and proper storage, handling and disposal of hazardous waste on campus. Should you have any concerns about your waste streams or other practices, please contact us so that we can determine the best practices for your waste. The full article is available from Texas Tech University's Office of Responsible Research.
New Web-based Training and Registration System
EHLS has officially embarked upon the outward-facing transition to the use of integrated web-based training and registration systems for our courses. Many courses have already migrated, however some are still in the process. You can continue to find the appropriate method of registration by browsing our available training. Each course will have the appropriate link to register or take training. Completion of either method will still result in a recorded training completion for you. Should you have any questions, you can contact EHLS.

You may feel thoughtful and considerate of your loved ones today, which could encourage you to spend time caring for them in meaningful ways. While your friends and family members will appreciate any kind gesture, you can also choose a more specific direction for your love to flow. One fulfilling way to help is by focusing your attention on those who need your guidance, support, or encouragement while in the midst of life changes. By sharing your knowledge and wisdom with those less experienced, you can serve as a powerful example to the important people in your life. You might also consider volunteering your time to youth programs in your local community so you can further be a role model for those in need of guidance today.
Sharing our wisdom and experience with others can deepen our journey and reinforce the knowledge we have gained in our own minds. Though our life lessons are worthwhile simply because of the growth we have gained from them, choosing to share them with others can help us to actualize them more deeply in our own lives. As we convey our knowledge to others, we gain a deeper understanding of our lessons and the richness they have brought to our experience. At the same time, blessing others with our wisdom and experience allows us to create an ongoing benefit that enhances the lives of everyone it touches. By sharing your wisdom with those in need of guidance today, you can expand the reach of the growth you have achieved through your experiences.

Hart, 60, whose hosting duties will be fulfilled by Nancy O'Dell, 45, was surprised with a party on stage after her final taping on Thursday. Unexpected guests, including Hart's former co-hosts John Tesh (co-hosted from 1982-1996), Bob Goen (co-hosted from 1993-2004) and Robb Weller (co-hosted from 1984-1986), were brought out for the big farewell.
Additionally, Natalie Cole surprised Hart and serenaded the departing host with her hit, "Unforgettable."
Admitting in November that leaving ET was "not an easy decision," Hart said, "Knowing I will pass the baton to Nancy O'Dell makes that decision much easier."
Fans can reach out to Hart and send their own messages via Twitter by Tweeting @ETonlinealert using the hash tag #WeHartMary.

Step by Step Procedure
|Put warm water (80 to 110°F) into a bowl. Add salt and honey and mix with a spoon. Add yeast, mix and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
|Gradually add flour and olive oil and start mixing.
|When the mixture gets too heavy to mix, start kneading the dough with your hands.
|Knead the dough until you have a smooth ball. If the dough cracks it is too dry. Add water bit by bit until if forms a nice coherent ball. If your doug feels more like batter, it is too wet and you need to add flour bit by bit. If you need to add water or flour, do it by small amounts.
|Coat the dough with olive oil, place it in a large bowl and cover it with kitchen wrap or a grocery bag. Let the doug rise for about an hour at room temperature, then push it down again so it deflates. Let it sit for about another hour. If you want to use it the next day, put it in a refrigerator.
|Put the dough on a lightly floured surface, put a bit of flour on top and make it into the shape of a pie by stretching it out from the center outwards. Use a rolling pin until the dough is about 1/4" thick. Punch some holes in the dough with a fork to let the air escape while the pizza is in the oven
|Put on your pizza sauce of choice.
Put on your favorite pizza toppings.
|Bake the pizza in you oven at 400 - 450° F for about 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is light brown.
