For starters I am an arson investigator, employed by a fire department with LE certifications. I am looking to conceal my jframe revolver as my BUG while on duty. Our department has strict uniform guidelines. Duty type police, fire, poly-cotton shirt, standard black trousers (2 front pockets, 2 back). 8" duty boots. It IS the same for our arson units as well but now we add the duty belt, Glock 22, extra mags, flashlight, CPR mask, baton, and cuffs. My back pockets contain personal wallet and department wallet, front pockets contain cell phone and keys. Ankle carry is not an option with boots and my calfskin are 22". Pocket carry I am not find of nor can I access it quickly with belt accessories. I also need it deeper concealment than a pocket..
100% new at LE carry or BUG carry.
Would a belly band be a workable option?
With uniform constraints carrying a J frame as a BUG may not be workable, although SmartCarry - Concealed Gun Holsters system may work depending on the fit of your pants. Have you explored something smaller, say a Ruger LCP or Kahr CM9?

Any consideration of a shoulder rig like this (Concealed Carry Holsters | Deep Conceal) underneath your outer shirt? yeah, it won't be as easy to get to, but you'll have it if necessary.
I'm assuming you don't wear body armor because there are a variety of options to attach something to the vest carrier.
"I got a lot of problems with you people!" - Frank Costanza
Body armor is worn, when I am in uniform. I have not looked into or considered a semi auto bug. Bug will only be a close combat necessity, if I need to it will be pressed against an assailant and discharged. I want the reassurance the weapon will not be out of batterey and will discharge as many rounds as necessary.
vest holster that might work with your body armor. I don't know anything about it, but the Mika pocket holster is well respected.
I tried a couple of different soft vest holsters and ultimately they just didn't work for me. Too hard to reholster if you had to disarm for a secure area. After some trial and error I got Oahi Modular Holster from Crossbreed. It's stuck to velcro on the side of my vest under my arm and the vest strap goes over it for a nice secure rig. Reholstering is a breeze due to the kydex. They also make a "Last ditch" holster made specifically for a vest but it's also only made for smaller guns, j-frame not included.
I also carry the BUG on the strong side for a support hand draw in case the strong hand is disabled or busy doing firearm retention. A shirt with a concealed zipper (dummy buttons) helps aid that draw.
"I got a lot of problems with you people!" - Frank Costanza
+1 for vest strap carry. Bianchi, Safariland, Desantis, etc. all have inexpensive nylon vest holsters. Based on your description, I don't see any other practical or comfortable way.

"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
I'm also from a jurisdiction where Fire Marshals (arson investigators) enjoy police powers, and are responsible for investigating arson crimes, arresting the offerders, and testifying in court. Arson IMO is a very very high stakes game. Often involving big money and very long sentences... even to the death penalty. Fire Marshals are not just firemen with gun's.
I'm curious that your made to work in uniform. That must be tough working a scene. How do you ever do stake outs?, or tails?
Anyway Every fire marshal I worked with always carried a second gun as did the regular cops. I'd recomend staying away from an ankle holster. They are notoriously slow on the draw, and expose the firearm to all manner of water, salt, sand, dirt, dust... what ever environment your walking in. The guys I worked with carried turn out gear in the trunk of their dept car.... to wear at a scene... I cant see wearing turn out boots or bunker gear over an ankle holster.
Most of my cxareer was spent working plain clothes of one kind or another. Until I started wearing a vest every day I carried a J frame in an inside the pants holster. After I started wearing the vest I carried exclusively in a vest strap holster. It takes a little getting used to... but worked out fine for me.
Safety Pin a Blackhawk / Uncle Mikes Cloth Pocket Holster to your T-Shirt under your Uniform Shirt at the Belt line so the holster rests on your belt but, it's under your Uniform Shirt.

The season isn't over for Indiana, not by any means. But the WPIAL Section 2-AAA baseball championship is likely out of the question.
Indiana squandered its best offensive chance by running into a triple play, then gave up three seventh-inning runs and lost to first-place Laurel Highlands, 4-1, on Tuesday afternoon at Keystone Rehabilitation Field.
Second-place Indiana dropped to 5-3 in the section, 7-6 overall. The Mustangs are 8-0 in the section and 10-3 overall.
"They pretty much won the section," Indiana coach Ryan Davies said of Laurel Highlands. "It was (the section title), along with going undefeated at home, that was pretty high on our list of goals. I don't think there's a way we can get (the section title) now, but I told the guys I still believe in them down the stretch. We've got to make a playoff push now, but I still believe we have a team that can get into the playoffs and go on a run. We just have to figure it out pretty soon."
With ace pitcher Sean Thompson on the mound, Indiana found itself in a tight battle with the section leaders. A lone unearned run was all the Mustangs got in the early going, and Indiana tied the game at 1 with Blake Shields' bases-loaded walk in the fourth inning.
Indiana still had the bases loaded with no outs following Shields' walk, and Laurel Highlands starter Colin McKee was on the ropes. What happened next turned the tables in the section race.
Jordan Hudzicki flew out to right field, and Davies, coaching third, had Thompson take a few steps off the base to draw a throw. The trailing runners, however, kept going, and Thompson and Shields both ended up tagged out after rundowns.
Inning over.
"I like to get down the line as a coach so my guy can see me," Davies said. "I was there early enough, and it just wasn't a deep enough fly. I like my guy at third to get a couple good steps to try to draw a throw, maybe get a wild one. We just have to watch the baserunners in front of us a little better."
The consequences were dire.
"The triple play was the turning point of the game," Laurel Highlands coach Scott DeBerry said. "Bases loaded, one run in, nobody out, that's the ballgame, because when Thompson's on the mound, you get more than one or two runs up and expect to win the ballgame."
"Had that not happened, the game's totally different," Davies said. "Momentum shifts in our favor. Their pitcher was getting into trouble. It's just kind of stuff that's been going on all season, just not thinking, not knowing the situation. It came back to bite us. Even after that, we were in a position to win, but we have to play smarter. If you make a mistake, pick your head up, go out and make a play later. We didn't do that."
Indiana got a few guys on in the following innings, but never did any damage. Once Thompson was lifted after six innings, with seven strikeouts and a walk, the Mustangs broke through for three runs on three hits in the seventh.
"I considered it a playoff game," DeBerry said. "I knew that we would see their best, and I wanted to see how our team would react to seeing somebody like (Thompson). … I knew if we could play good defense and get good pitching and stay close that maybe something would happen at the end, and that's what happened."
Indiana drew eight walks but got just three hits on the day.
Davies' message going forward is this: Forget about it.
"We've got some good ballplayers here," he said. "You remember the mistakes you've made and you learn from them, but as far as dwelling on the loss, I don't think that serves any purpose. The best approach for these guys is water under the bridge. Get after the next one, and the more wins you can stack on top, the easier it is to forget. We'll just turn the page and go from there."

Nordonia Hills — The Ohio Elections Commission ruled today that School Superintendent Joe Clark violated state law when he asked district employees to donate to a potential levy campaign, but decided not to impose a penalty.
"There was a violation, but [there was] good cause not to impose a fine or further prosecution," said Commission Executive Director Philip Richter.
Clark did not immediately return a call for comment.
A complaint was filed with the commission Dec. 5 by John Brachna, chairman of the Citizens for Strong Nordonia Hills Schools, a PAC that campaigned against the Nov. 6 levy. The complaint alleged Clark misused his position as superintendent by asking employees to donate to a political group.
"It's a sad day for our school district because nobody wins, including our children," he said. "We need Dr. Clark to do what we pay him to do, lead our district's educational efforts."
The issue stemmed from a Nov. 9 email Clark sent to district employees asking that they donate to Friends of Nordonia Schools, a political action committee that campaigned for a 3-mill operating levy voters rejected three days earlier. Clark wrote that the campaign had drained the PACs coffers and it would need more funding for another levy attempt as early as November this year.
Richter said the fact that Clark sent employees a Nov. 14 email retracting and apologizing for the initial email after he learned his request had been improper was a factor in the commission's decision. He said Clark's cooperation with the commission, including his response to the complaint and his appearance at the commission's review, were also taken into account.
"From our perspective, the matter is resolved," he said.

T&D News
T&D Alum Uses Program Skills at NERC & Army Cyber Intelligence
T&D Alumnus Sam Chanoski ('15) started the program when he was working as a shift supervisor at Duquesne Light in Pittsburgh. After beginning Gonzaga's T&D coursework, Sam moved to NERC (North American Electric Reliability Corporation) and just before graduating was promoted to Director of Situation Awareness and Event Analysis. He credits the program with giving him important skills needed for his new responsibilities.
"The perspective I gained across an end-to-end breadth of the technical side of transmission and distribution has been invaluable," he says. He notes the knowledge and skills he gained in the T&D program help him "confidently add value to, and sometimes lead, a number of significant initiatives that would have been outside my capacities before the program."
Those responsibilities include leading NERC's Situation Awareness and Event Analysis departments. Situation Awareness serves as the eyes and ears of NERC, to constantly understand operational conditions on the bulk power system. Event Analysis, "helps all of us understand the true causes behind system disturbances and learn from each other to continually improve reliability performance."
Sam is currently deployed to Kuwait with the Army Reserve and is acting as Cyber Intelligence Chief for the Southwest Asia Cyber Center.
He leads a team of military intelligence and signal soldiers and contractors to "provide timely, actionable, threat intelligence to improve the defense of the Army's computer networks across the Middle East."
While not a new skill, Sam says the critical thinking he honed in the METD program is something he uses every day. "The program gave me repeated opportunities to practice and learn new techniques in an environment far more intellectually diverse than I could find at any single employer."
While he appreciates the depth of his coursework, he admits TADP 548 (TLine Electrical Aspects) and TADP 521 (Utility Communications) were his favorites. "Both courses flowed well to a comprehensive final project that closely resembled a real-world undertaking."
The program has asked Sam to help rebuild the TADP 543 Grid Operations course when he returns to his duties at NERC. We look forward to working with Sam in his transition from student to faculty!

T&D Alum Prepares for Cloud Invastion
Josh Lankford, (METD, '13) is the only fulltime engineer working at the Umatilla Electric Cooperative in Oregon. The UEC is a small rural power company serving a growing customer base drawn by a busy Columbia River port and affordable energy prices.
When he started there in 2009, UEC served 14,000 members and provided 875 million average kilowatt-hours (kWH) of power a year. Now, several technology-based companies have opened, or are planning, large data centers in the coop's territory and within five years the power load is expected to increase by 400%.
It was serendipity that Josh had entered Gonzaga's Transmission and Distribution Master's program, hoping to find mentoring and practical knowledge as he tackled the complex problems from such a dramatic shift in his company's power load.
Josh describes his job duties as, "a little bit of everything that we have going on, including, but not limited to: construction workplan development, GIS conversion, new transmission lines and substations, rebuilds of aged infrastructure , upgrades to existing lines and substations, power quality, SCADA system upgrades and development, and anything else that passes through the engineering department."
Josh says that over time his work has moved into managing teams of consultants and he appreciates the broad knowledge the T&D program gave him. "I have used something that I've learned from each class since I graduated. I didn't realize how helpful the program really was until I finished it... The T&D classes aren't like the classes I've taken where I ask myself, 'how does this help me?' or 'when will I ever use this in my career?'; they are all relatable to my job in some way."
Josh feels that he gained more than ten years of experience in the twelve classes he took toward the master's and that depth fits well with his varied responsibilities. "The calculations I learned, stories I heard, and reasonings you discuss within the transmission line design classes help me every day while I oversee the design and construction of the transmission line projects we have going on here at UEC."
He continues, "The leadership and project development classes help me with my every day interactions with the membership, colleagues, and consultants, or project management in general. The underground system design course helped me put a safety demonstration together on pulling in underground cable for our lineman. Each class gave me the tools I needed, I just need more time in the day to put them all to use!"
Congratulations 2015 Graduates!
Several ME students were able to complete their coursework and Graduation Portfolios in time to graduate in the 2014-15 school year and five students traveled to Spokane to attend Gonzaga's Graduate commencement ceremony on May 9. Congratulations everyone!

"Back in the spring, things were going badly, I was riding badly and I thought about giving up, I was so depressed," she said at the Burghley Horse Trials.
"Then I went on holiday and took advice from Pippa Funnell. She motivated me and told me to do something different.
"Eventually, things got better and I was able to focus on the World Games."
Among a run of disappointing form was a day at Belton Horse Trials in early April where Phillips took three horses.
She fell from Ardfield Magic Star, finished with a heavy score of 129 penalties on Red Baron and made five showjumping mistakes with Toytown.
But a pep talk from Olympic-medallist Funnell had the desired effect despite Phillips then suffering a bereavement when her great friend, Irish rider Sherelle Duke, was killed in a freak fall at a horse trials in Hampshire.
"It was a massive shock," admitted Phillips, "Sherelle was a very special

The Shutdown Gm Needs?
How dramatically will General Motors Corp. change as a result of its latest showdown with the United Auto Workers? By late June--four weeks after workers struck two Flint (Mich.) plants and slowly brought GM's North American production to a halt--the auto maker was dropping tantalizing clues. Might the company use the shutdown to make fundamental changes--reducing plant capacity to match its reduced market share, killing off poor-selling models and, perhaps, getting rid of entire marketing divisions?
For investors eager to see such reforms, there are encouraging signs. A June 30 GM filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission stated that the company is "carefully reviewing future spending for products and facilities." That followed a series of internal memos leaked by GM that hinted at similar plans. And on July 1, Ronald L. Zarrella, GM's vice-president for sales and marketing, told reporters: "We may well take this situation as an opportunity to move up some future plans in terms of eliminating overlap in our portfolio."
WORRIED WALL STREET. Even if the auto maker isn't definitively signaling a major overhaul, many analysts and academics think it should. On Wall Street, where analysts are increasingly worried by the strike that has already cost GM $1.2 billion in net income, there's hope that this time the carmaker will go further than the long-expected cutbacks of a few more parts plants and a couple of car models. They would applaud a broad restructuring that would finally get GM in fighting trim. That would mean cuts in management and hourly ranks, and revamping products, marketing, and manufacturing. Furman Selz analyst Maryann N. Keller is eager for such a clean-sweep approach. "I would love it if they were making those decisions," she says.
Clearly, GM's decade-long "death by a thousand cuts" strategy of gradual downsizing isn't working. The company has not come close to its overall productivity goals. Its manufacturing inefficiency puts it at a $411-per-vehicle disadvantage to Ford Motor Corp., estimates Stephen J. Girsky, a Morgan Stanley Dean Witter analyst. And GM's declining market share in recent years has only made the need for lower costs more acute. At the same time, the never-ending cuts exact a high toll on labor relations. "Does GM honestly think there's going to be less pain in doing these things one at a time?" Keller asks. "It just makes the UAW madder."
True, getting all the bad news out at once might cause more labor friction in the near term. Analysts say GM needs to shrink hourly rolls by 40,000 to 50,000 workers out of 220,000 to match competitors' efficiency--hardly welcome news to the union and its members. But such moves are inevitable, and GM hopes to make many cuts through attrition over the next few years.
In some cases, workers whose plants are sold could be better off in the long run working for new owners, as former GM workers at Detroit Diesel and American Axle have discovered. Meanwhile, greater investment in new equipment for the remaining factories could improve productivity and preserve jobs.
A one-fell-swoop strategy could actually result in better labor relations in the long haul. Says Trevor Bain, a University of Alabama management professor: "Whatever it is, they need to enunciate it clearly and let the union in on the secret, too." Workers would stop waiting for the other shoe to drop--and looking for real or imagined actions against them by management--if they believed the cuts were over and the rebuilding was beginning. It worked at Ford and Chrysler Corp., both of which downsized radically in the early 1980s and went on to rebuild solid labor relations once the bloodletting was over. Says Merrill Lynch & Co. analyst Nicholas Lobaccaro: "Once you get right-sized and you don't need to lay people off any more, labor relations can improve dramatically."
And nobody should be surprised by more GM plant closings. The company is widely believed to be planning to close or sell both Flint plants that struck in June, as well as the Dayton brake plant that struck in 1996, and voted on June 30 to authorize another strike. "This strike may highlight a bunch of parts operations that have been living on borrowed time for quite a while and are finally going to be shuttered," says Lehman Brothers analyst Joseph S. Phillippi. Adds David E. Cole, director of the University of Michigan's Office for the Study of Automotive Transportation: "They'll probably clean the plate here. This is a crisis."
The auto maker is also expected to spin off all of its Delphi Automotive Systems parts maker, which had $26 billion in revenues in 1997. GM has said only that it is planning a partial spin-off. The sooner that happens, the better, analysts say. Likewise, GM is expected eventually to announce it will close at least one assembly plant--the Ste. Therese (Que.) factory that builds Chevrolet Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds that analysts say will be dropped.
Wall Street would like to see the same discipline applied to salaried ranks. Analyst Girsky notes that GM's senior management ranks have ballooned 47% since its 1992 reorganization; rival Ford has reduced its top ranks by 37% in that time. GM would have to shrink its top management by 20% to 25% to match Ford's levels, he says. Labor experts say GM would gain credibility with its union workers if top management's bonuses were linked to the same efficiency standards being used to decide workers' fates.
"GRADE-B MOVIE." The most painful reductions could come by streamlining GM's marketing system. It has more than twice as many brands and 70% more U.S. dealerships than Ford, Girsky points out--even though GM's unit sales are only 19% greater. Analysts and investors say GM should stop trying to resuscitate dying divisions, and instead spend more on promising newcomers like Saturn Corp. "This is like watching a grade-B movie--you know exactly how it ends," says Keller. "Either Buick or Oldsmobile is going to have to disappear." Analysts also would like GM to add more high-profit trucks and new car-truck hybrids like Honda's CR-V and Lexus' RX300. Zarrella acknowledges that "we have more cars than we need, and not enough trucks." The strike may result "in getting out of those cars faster," he says.
GM's biggest problem is that it is chasing moving targets. When it comes to factory efficiency, "the competition is getting better faster than they are--and GM was already behind," says Phillippi. The company's U.S. market share has tumbled faster than it can close plants, and in June stood near 31%, down from 36% a decade ago. Even a rash of plant closings in the early '90s barely kept up with the declining demand. GM still has about 50% more assembly plants than Ford, which owns 24% of the market.
So how can GM level with the union about its capacity needs when management doesn't know how far market share will fall? Its executives will have to take a hard look at where sales are heading. For decades, they have declared that market share is about to rebound, only to be proven wrong. Early this year, market share tumbled below 29% for the second time in a year. A spring auto buying boom, fueled by a GM-led rebate push, helped the auto giant's share rebound temporarily. But Zarrella predicts that market share will be "well under 25%" in July and drop further if the strike continues. And some analysts believe the decline will continue longer term. Says Lobaccaro: "If you're doing long-term planning for GM, I think you have to look at 29% market share."
That's tough medicine for GM, its union, and its investors. But delaying the inevitable won't make it any less bitter--and will likely prolong the pain.

The Local Online Disconnect for National Brands
One would expect all companies with regional or local customer-bases would be leveraging all methods for driving local traffic, but this is not entirely the case. GMA Local, part of GroupM, recently conducted a study of the local marketing practices for national US brands that have 500+ physical locations in a range of industries and verticals. The findings were surprising showing a significant gap between the perception marketers had of their local marketing and the amount they were actually doing.
Looking at the numbers, 70% of respondents spend 60% of their ad budgets on local vs. national campaigns, and again 70% said they spend more than a quarter of their local ad budget on digital media. So local online is getting attention and will only get more as over 80% said their online local spend will be greater than the projected national growth rate of 25% for the next three years.
However, what exactly are they doing to maximize local? Only a third of respondents did local business directories, 45% participated in review sites, and just over half do geo-targeted paid search. Thus, it is clear that this category of company, national brands with over 500+ physical locations, could benefit from a redesign of their online marketing strategies. Businesses looking to capitalize on local traffic need to assess their current practices and develop a multi-faceted marketing strategy that maximizes their local exposure. A renewed multi-faceted strategy would include geo-targeted SEO, utilization of online review sites and directories, geo-targeted ppc management, and social media integration, among other elements if needed. These efforts would work in conjunction with one another complimenting the impact gained by each.
Further, utilizing the guidance of an expert SEO company in this process can be most beneficial, especially considering how money can often be wasted in activities that do not achieve results. According to the above mentioned research from GMA Local, 58% of respondents said it was a lack in budget that prevented their companies from using more local online marketing. Thus, companies need to be as efficient as possible when engaging in these activities.Partnering with an SEO company allows businesses to assess what specifically brings them the best results and then concentrate efforts to maximize those activities per their budget, assembling as much of a multi-faceted and coordinated approach as possible. This process allows businesses to be more efficient and get the most return out of their marketing spend to ultimately shore up the gap between perceived and actual activity, as well as increase return in the form of targeted traffic.

About This Wine
The California Gold Rush brought tens of thousands of people to California.
When they weren't seeking their fortunes panning for gold, those people needed food. And even in the mid-1800s, when folks needed food, they also needed wine. Because it thrived in California's climate and soils, Zinfandel was widely planted.
Although its origins remain a matter of debate — some believe it's a native grape, others opine that it came from Italy, while scientific evidence now points to Croatia — there's no question that Zinfandel is "the unofficial official winegrape" of the Golden State. And Longstreet Winery makes a particularly tasty rendition of Zin.
Longstreet's 2009 vintage is a blend that consists of 87% Zinfandel and 13% other red varieties. Those other varieties were added to tame the extremely spicy quality of the Zin grapes and make the finished wine more food-friendly. It was a wise move, as Longwood's 2009 Zin is so delicious it's like drinking liquid gold.
About Zinfandel
California's own grape variety. Red Zinfandel (not to be confused with "white" Zinfandel) can produce full-bodied wines packed with ripe berry fruit and smooth tannins. Flavors of blackberries and spicy pepper.More About Zinfandel

eBay announced results, and Skype was part of them. Skype revenues have increased 61% year-on-year to reach $126M. Skype added 33M new users for a total of 309M. Skype makes most of its revenue with SkypeOut, where the tariffs barely cover the interconnection costs to finalize the calls in the telco's networks. So even if revenues grow, the margins are still slim, and there is no outlook that the margin will improve unless there are new (paid) features or the business model changes.
Even if the number of users would grow exponentially, that would also have an impact is cannibalizing SkypeOut, as some users move from traditional phones to Skype, making SkypeOut not required to reach them.
Being optimistic we could forecast net profits in the range of $10-$30M per year, that at a Price-Earning Ratio (PER) of 15 would value Skype at a maximum of $450M.
As a user, Skype rocks. Technically it is superb: very wise P2P concept, high voice quality with bandwidth adaptation, very decent videocalls, IM, file sharing, SkypeOut… Even with a proprietary technology, non-IMS compliant, it delivers all that IMS promises to deliver. Absolutely great.
But the value to the user is not necessarily related to the market value of the company. eBay is aware of that, and according to GigaOM, expect news over the weekend. TechCrunch predicts that an alliance with Google could be coming.

Year in Review: Ups and Downs for Student Financial Aid in 2011
Mark Kantrowitz
January 05, 2012
New Gainful Employment regulations establish affordable debt restrictions on most programs at for-profit colleges and on non-degree certificate programs at public and non-profit colleges starting on July 1, 2012. The gainful employment rules establish minimum loan repayment rates (35%) and maximum debt-service-to-income (12%) and debt-service-to-discretionary-income (30%) ratios that the programs must satisfy to retain eligibility for federal student aid. New rules restricting substantial misrepresentation and incentive compensation became effective on July 1, 2011. These rules ban false advertising and commissioned recruiting at all types of colleges.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25, August 2, 2011) eliminated new subsidized Stafford loans for graduate and professional students and discounts on new federal student loans in the Direct Loan program (other than auto-debit discounts) starting July 1, 2012, saving $21.6 billion over ten years. Of this, $17 billion was used to address an existing funding shortfall in the Pell Grant program for 2012-13, leaving the program with a $1.3 billion funding shortfall. The remaining $4.6 billion in savings was used for deficit reduction. The Budget Control Act of 2011 also mandates unspecified cuts in all federal spending (not just student aid) totaling $2.1 trillion over the next ten fiscal years. But federal student aid remains a big target for further cuts.
A student aid policy analysis paper, The Distribution of Grants and Scholarships by Race, found that white students are 40% more likely to win private scholarships than minority students. White students were more likely to win private scholarships even after controlling for differences in income and academic performance. This paper debunked the myth that minority students win more than their fair share of scholarships.
Short-term cohort default rates on federal student loans increased to 8.8% from 7.1% the year before. This is the highest cohort default rate in 13 years. The main drivers of default rates are interest rates, unemployment rates, graduation rates and increases in the amount of debt.
Robert Applebaum, a New York attorney, organized an online petition calling for forgiveness of all student loan debt. The petition endorses a proposed Congressional resolution calling for student loan forgiveness that was introduced by Rep. Hansen Clarke (D-MI-13) in the US House of Representatives on July 22, 2011. The petition has collected more than 659,500 signatures from September 2, 2011 through the end of 2011.
The Occupy Wall Street protest movement began in Zuccotti Park on September 17, 2011. Among the many grievances are complaints about student loans. Many of the protesters have high education debt and are having difficulty getting jobs. The Occupy Student Debt Campaign has called for forgiveness of all student loans, zero-interest student loans, free tuition at public colleges and universities and greater transparency on how tuition dollars are spent at private non-profit and for-profit colleges and universities. On November 21, 2011, the Occupy Student Debt Campaign called for student loan borrowers to sign a pledge to stop making payments on their student loans after one million people have signed the pledge.

A dancer turns up dead in her hotel room and an investigation begins into the motive for the murder. Her room mate suggests that she might have been using her feminine wiles to advance her career and may have taken her onto stages she was ill-prepared to dance upon.
A fairly good story and I wasn't able to guess who did it. Perhaps if I had been paying more attention I may have gotten it, but I doubt it. I did appreciate that it shows a little bit of the policemen's interests outside of the case, even while on the case.
The Slick And The Dead (Aired January 23, 1976) The CBS Radio Mystery Theater (or CBSRMT) was an ambitious and sustained attempt to revive the great drama of old-time radio in the 1970s

Do not Miss on The Economic And Operational Advantages of Cloud Computing In India
What is cloud computing? And to ensure that people do not miss out on the economic and operational advantages of cloud computing. These are some of the major questions of the users that have been revealed through this release.
"Whereas a big talking point in the business and technology world, not everyone is fully aware, what is cloud computing? And what it can do for them? To ensure that people do not miss out on the economic and operational advantages of cloud computing, we have published what we consider are the present markets chief advantages of cloud computing in India" those are:
• Remote Access – "Data is not stored on your computer. Instead, you log on to a service and access your information about 3rd party servers stored in the cloud. This means that you can do work from anywhere and from any gadget that has an internet connection, and you do not even have to be at your desk for working."
• Reduce Software Costs – "Business owners no longer have to purchase individual software licenses for each of their employees. They can just use 3rd party software stored in the cloud as and when it is required for work."
• Less Complex Hardware Needed – "Because all software and applications are accessed remotely, you do not need any complex processing power on your local machine or even much in the way of storage. This saves money of both individuals and the businesses."
Nowadays, multiple advantages of cloud computing attract a lot of customers. Usage of cloud technology is quite profitable for enterprises and considerably facilitates their work; that's why cloud computing solution is widely implemented by many organizations. Nevertheless, cloud and security issue still causes a lot of concerns among users and impedes to cloud adoption. It's worth mentioning that to protect on-premises data and data stored in the cloud, the typical security methods are used. Moving data to an external storage does not inevitably pose new risks. Moreover, storing information on the cloud can be even more secure and cost-effective in case of professional support.
However, while using cloud computing it is necessary to protect not only the data that is already stored in the cloud, but also data in motion. These data include not only information transmitted between the local server and the cloud, but also usernames and passwords that are considered to be the most sensitive pieces of this kind of data. While in transition, information is more likely to be accessed by the third party. Encryption is the best way of this risk elimination.
Among of the threats to cloud computing data security are phishing, inappropriate access to data by cloud service provider http://www.cloudcomputinginindia.net/
About the Author:
Cloud computing in India is a consumer information website that provides individuals and businesses all the information that they need in order to decide 1. What is cloud computing? 2. What are its advantages? 3. Recent developments in cloud computing India and much more. It also provides top level of cloud computing in India that will revolutionize the education and economy.

Christmas is approaching, so I'm giving those who do read a present. The first three chapters from my twelve chapter fantasy novel titled: The Sky People-Battlefield Earth, coming out on 24th December 2012.It's an awesome book. Action packed and it will definitely challenge your thinking and beliefs about the world. The book is the first in The Sky People sequence. It is a twelve chapter novel with estimated word count of about 120 000. It is along the lines of Star trek, Star wars, The Avengers, Avatar, resident evil, sorcery and magic etc. An awesome fantasy/sci-fi read with a very strong and interesting storyline.
awesome fantasy/sci-fi read with a very strong and interesting storyline.
What is it about?
Battlefield Earth is a high romping, action packed, fantasy novel based on Greek mythology, African stories, and other worldwide creation myths from different cultures around the world. It tells the story of Khama, a strong, adventurous young man, with psychic abilities, whose uncle and father are at war with each other over kingship. Khama's uncle, Sekai, have broken away with close to a third of the Ngwato tribe, and started a rebellion against the kingdom. With the help of AIs and robots from the future, he has tied an ancient horror; a monstrous fire spiting flying serpent dubbed 'Nyanyabulembu', to him and uses the monster to wage war on the Ngwato Kingdom. But the alien machines have tricked him; they have put his mind under their control using their advanced science to use him as a puppet for their own agendas. They intend to use him to do their dirty work on the outer earth surface because they are trapped in their underground cities, they can't roam outer earth freely. Their creators and enemies, are looking for them to exterminate them. Meanwhile, Tilyhn, a blond haired white woman from the technologically advanced alien civilization at the inner hollow center of the earth, is caught and imprisoned by Sekai to be kept as a sex slave forever, and she tries hard to escape from his clutches.
I'm doing this intentionally, steal my book and idea and I 'll sue you all you got. That said, here is the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?b9z81ot44ofwat4
NB:There might be spelling mistakes in there, the book is still being edited.

Well, you misspelled "Battlefield," for starters.
Plus I'm pretty sure the people who already made the movie based on the book by that name are not going to be happy.

The book is crap. Sorry it is. Its a god awful child like attempt at a wannabe generational Othello. I think reading it actually makes you dumber.
BTW Battlefield Earth, by L Ron Hubbard, was an actual good book.(The movie was crap) And Sky People I believe was a book written by S. M. Stirling.
Not only is the Prologue a mind numbing instant book killer, the rest of what I read was just taken piece by piece from other decent and not so decent works of fiction. Not to mention that the writing alone in unimaginative and lame. Like reading a 6th graders summer vacation report.
Stephenie Meyer is a better writer than this, and she should have her hands broken for the trash she writes.

Biotherm Nourishing Shampoo for Dry and Damaged Hair
You highlight. You blow dry. You straighten. You've even permed (admit it, already). After all that abuse, your often-unruly mop still consents to the occasional good hair day and the rare phenomenal hair day. Yet still you lather, rinse and repeat the vicious cycle. I tried Biotherm's Nourishing Shampoo on my uber processed hair (yes, I even permed it once, but that was back in the '80s), and my damaged strands actually felt...soft. Apparently those shampoo commercials showing the flowy-haired models aren't special effects. Who knew?

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
I assume no one is discussing this poll because they're shocked by the omission of Idris Elba as Charles Miner.
Robert California had the confidence and gave that creepy sexuality to the show that I found very hilarious. Michael Scott was funny but after 2 or 3 seasons I found most of what he did to be relatively predictable and stale. Still a funny and great show, but they should have done a couple seasons with RC. Just my opinion.

Ferris freshman guard Dontae Molden finished with 11 points in the win over LSSU. He is shown here against Calvin earlier this year (Photo/Sandy Gholston)
The Ferris State University men's basketball squad put together one of its best performances of the season in a 86-59 triumph over one of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's (GLIAC) hottest teams in Lake Superior State on Thursday (Jan. 8) evening at LSSU's Bud Cooper Gymnasium in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
The visiting Bulldogs sank 59.3% (35-59) of their field goal attempts and hit nine-of-15 (60%) three-pointers in snapping the Lakers' five-game winning streak. FSU jumped out to an early 15-3 edge only four minutes into the contest and never trailed in the game.
Ferris led 48-30 at halftime after shooting 63% in the opening stanza and then limited the Lakers to only 31% shooting in the final 20 minutes in improving to 5-6 overall and 3-3 in GLIAC action. LSSU dropped to 7-5 overall and 4-3 in conference play.
Sophomore forward/center Justin Keenan tallied a game-high 25 points for FSU in the win while junior guard Josh Young added 14 points, freshman guard Dontae Molden netted 11 points and sophomore guard Darien Gay contributed 10 points. All 11 Bulldog players in uniform saw action in the victory.
Meanwhile, the Lakers had only a single player reach double-figure scoring as Tim VanOudheusden totaled 14 points. Lake Superior State shot 34.7% (17-49) from the floor for the game and was only five-of-16 (31.3%) behind the three-point line.
FSU posted a 40-23 rebounding edge and came up with 11 offensive boards. The Bulldogs also finished with 18 assists as Molden had six and Gay added five. FSU totaled four steals and three blocked shots while the Lakers recorded 11 assists, six steals and two blocks.
The victory was Ferris' second consecutive triumph this season and stopped a two-game skid in conference action. Ferris led by 20 or more points the final 12 minutes of the game and jumped the lead to as much as 30 points in the contest.
The Bulldogs continue their two-game league road swing by visiting Saginaw Valley State on Saturday (Jan. 10) for a 3 p.m. (EST) game in University Center, Mich. FSU then returns home to begin a five-game homestand against rival Grand Valley State in a "Big Monday" matchup next Monday evening (Jan. 12) with tipoff set for 8 p.m. (EST) at Wink Arena in Big Rapids, Mich.
