In my Java class we are currently learning about Dynamic Arrays, but the problem is that the lesson does not teach you how to use them, or the syntax, or anything like that. It tells you what you MIGHT use it for, then it throws you into an example program that is (in my opinion) way too complex for where the class is at right now.
So, what exactly is a Dynamic Array and how do I use it?
Everytime I Google it, it returns something about ArrayList, which is not was I need.
Dynamic Arrays?

I have another question. In the assignment, we're supposed to print out the first 20 numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence. I slowed down and was able to understand how to use dynamic arrays, but I'm having trouble tying it into the Fibonacci Sequence. This is what I have, but it's not working:
It's giving me an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception.

Ok ok. He can use that solution. But it's quite practical.

@Branislav Lazic, how is that not a dynamic array?
The example code is an array that grows when more space is needed and It only allows random access (you have to specify which element you want to access 0,1,2 etc.). I would say that the given example definitely satisfies the requirements of a dynamic array.
I agree that ArrayList is a dynamic array, BUT it is also acts as a list. It's more of a hybrid thingy. Which makes it pretty useful, but I think that for Austin Elliott's class they want the students to implement their own data structures.

Oh, my teacher as well as the lesson called it a Dynamic Array.
But anyway, thank you so much! :]
Branislav Lazic
· March 1, 2015
That's not dynamic array!
So basically, you are declaring "data" array of integers that has size of 1 (can have hold 1 integer primitive value).
Then in method "put", you are creating new array called "newData" with new size and you are assigning that array to "data" array.
It's just one array that mutates.
I never in my life used that practice! Yes yes.. List can hold only objects while array can hold primitives too. But that unnecessary amount of verbosity is simply not worth of it.
It's like... using regular "for" loop to iterate over collection of 10 million objects instead of "for each" loop to process your data 0.03 seconds faster!
Plus, in Java 10, collections that take primitives as type argument should arrive. So you will be able to declare your List as:

Ok, then give us that "example code".

See, when I first Googled it, that's what everybody was saying. But ArrayList is not mentioned at all in the lesson, and it's not used in the example code either.

The seventh- and eighth-grade varsity football team from Calvary Day School was one of several area teams that picked up key wins during SPAL Week 7, beating Savannah Country Day 22-12 in the AAAA Division.
Cavalier workhorse Salvador Calderon, who has rushed for more than 1,000 yards this season, scored all three of his team's touchdowns on runs of 47, 33 and 29 yards. The eighth-grade standout contributed with a pair of two-point conversions and finished with 215 yards of total offense.

Will Sampey scored both of the Hornet touchdowns.
In other results:
The Patriots' (6-0) Jake Woolard scored both touchdowns including the decisive touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and Parks Hagan sealed the win by intercepting a Raider pass at Raider Field.
The Patriots remained undefeated heading into the final week of the league season.
The Raiders' Joshua Kelley got his team on the board first by finishing off a 50-yard drive by running 35 yards for the touchdown. Chris Dettling ran in the conversion to give SCPS (3-2) the 8-0 lead.
Rams quarterback Adam King scored three times, and running back Drew Tison added two touchdowns in leading SPA (5-1) to the big win over the winless Braves at O'Brien Field.
Tison scored the first touchdown early in the first quarter as he ended a 60-yard drive by scampering 6 yards. Garrett Ducey, Matthew Lowenthal and Aidan Anderson had key runs on the scoring drive.
The Rams scored their second TD on their next possession, as King finished off a 53-yard drive by plunging in from the 1.
Tison, who had 38 yards on the drive, set up the score and also added the conversion off a short handoff from King to make the it 14-0.
King, who ended up with 175 yards offensively, scored his second TD on a 15-yard run. The drive was started by a Kado Dang interception.
On the ensuing kickoff early in the second quarter, the Rams' Lawson Remler recovered the ball at the Braves' 32 to set up the third SPA score.
King passed to Tison for the 22 yards, and Joseph Dodd ran for the conversion to give the Rams a comfortable 22-0 lead heading into the second half.
After allowing the Braves an early third quarter score, the Rams scored their fourth touchdown on their first possession, thanks in part to a 19-yard jaunt by King. A drive that amassed 50 yards and was set up by runs from King, Dodd, Tison, Dang and Lowenthal. Remler started the drove by returning the ball 20 yards.
Cameron Parrish scored the final Rams touchdown midway through the fourth quarter as he sprinted 20 yards for the score. King added the conversion in which SPA rolled up 400 yards of total offense.
Mills Thompson, Ryan Ducey, Garrett Ducey, Hunter Harrison, Lowenthal, King, Dodd, Parrish, Tison and Dang all keyed the defense.
The Chargers (5-1) controlled SCPS on both sides of the ball en route to nearly 400 yards of total offense and picked up a key win heading into the final week of the league season.
Quarterback Ben Winders, who finished with 100 yards rushing and passing, scored first on a 75-yard run. Chris Bovee added the second touchdown on a 60-yard jaunt. John Thorpe scored the third touchdown by plunging in from the 4. And Will Kropp ended the touchdown scoring as he hauled in a 50-yard pass from Winders.
Grayson South, who led the defense with 12 tackles, also had another 100-
plus-yard game and three conversions.
Other offensive stalwarts included Ben Mahoney, Jonah Griffin and Tony Harty. Top defenders included Gage Blackston, Thorpe, Cohen, Griffin, Winders and Kropp.
Tyler Richards scored the lone Raiders (3-3) TD off a 40-yard halfback pass from Justin Anderson.
Despite the loss, other offensive stars included Will Sharpe, Eric Davidson, Mark Carlson, Jack Deal and Darvaughn Johnson. Ashton Reese, Tyler Robinett, Kyle Jackson, Jacob Wigand, Nick Arrowood and Drew Malphrus were leaders on defense.
After giving up an early interception and going down 6-0, the first-year Eagles (1-4) bounced back to score 37 unanswered points en route to their second win.
Logan Toomer scored multiple touchdowns on runs and also passed to John Burke for a 25-yard score. James Bartholomue, Dalton Shaw, Craig Oliver, Jefferson Dial and Chandler Edmonds all keyed the defense.
Gage Winters and Colin Hogan each scored Irish TDs in leading BSS (4-1) to the win over the previously undefeated Hornets at Benedictine.
In a contest that was evenly matched, the Irish prevailed. After a scoreless first half, the BSS squad took control to begin the third quarter, and they scored on their second possession as Winters finished off a 57-yard drive by running 8 yards for the first TD. After the conversion failed, the Hornets (4-0) took their only lead of the game as Turner Hilliard returned the kickoff 70 yards for the game-tying TD. And after a Logan Zeigler run for the conversion, the Hornets led 8-6.
That lead was short-lived, as the Irish reclaimed the lead when Hogan finished off a 62-yard drive by plunging in from the 1. Tony Iannone, who led the Irish with 134 yards rushing, then added the crucial conversion to make the score 14-8. John Thomas Foran, Sean Hammen and Emil Faulk all cleared paths for the fleet-footed Iannone and the Irish to run through.
Michael Mowers caused a fumble on the first play of the game and on the next play from scrimmage intercepted a Hornet pass at the SCDS 3-yard line. Nolan Schwerin, Jordi Tawil, Sam Wilson, Aidan Coleman, Michael Koncul, Grayson White, Logan Winters, Alex Vierheilig, CJ Outler and Richard Guerard all played solid on defense as well.
Namon Pointer (11-101 yards) scored both Cavalier touchdowns in powering Calvary (3-2) over the Eagles.
Grant Thomas, who ended up with 27 yards and also was a key on defense, added one conversion. Pointer scored his first TD on the second play from scrimmage and added his second with 5 minutes left in the second quarter. With the score 14-0, the winless Eagles scored their two touchdowns during the third quarter. Jake Reese, who has scored all the Hancock touchdowns this season including the two in last week's loss to rival SPA, scored both on runs of 44 and 2 yards to cut the lead to 14-12.
Excellent defense from Davis Gaylord, Jadon Snider and Jackson Singletary kept the Eagles (0-5) from converting after the scores.
The game was sealed with 2:40 left in the fourth quarter as Jay Wetherington halted a Hancock drive by intercepting a Eagles pass.
Hard running by Hayden Clark and Gaylord then allowed the Cavaliers to run out the clock and take a knee. Kaleb Park, Michael Stubbs, Brandon Culberson and Jordan Cribbs all were standouts on defense.

Savannah, through the lens of her adoring visitors
Palms near Savannah's Cathedral of St. John the Baptist - Lafayette Square | Palms are a symbol of fertility and good luck. Symbolic of safe returns, happy homecomings, safety and assurance, palm fronds are strewn upon the path of returning heroes from battle and returning pilgrims to the Holy Land. The Asian symbolism of the palm is one of renewal. In Judaism, the date palm represents peace and plenty. Palm stems represented long life to the Ancient Egyptians. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all originated and developed in these lands shaded by date palms. Photo used with permission. © Lisa Tomlinson.
The Deep Shade of Emmet Park | Here a centuries old oak reaches toward the Savannah River Bluff along Factor's Walk. Bordering East Bay Street (former "The Bay") is Emmet Park, the beautiful, tree-shaded park named for Irish patriot and orator Robert Emmet. Found here are Savannah's Vietnam Veterans Memorial and historic Harbor Light (1858), a gas-powered light erected as a navigational aid to vessels in the Savannah River. The light stands 77 feet above the river and helped ships avoid the hulls of ships scuttled by British forces during the siege of 1779 in an effort to prevent French warships from using the harbor.

Quaint Little Savannah House | This tiny, one-room cottage on Green Square is considered Savannah's smallest house in the historic district. The charming little home is featured in the book Savannah's Little Crooked Houses: If These Walls Could Talk? by Susan B. Johnson. An interview with Ms. Johnson may be read at this link. Just down the street -- 416 E. State Street -- is the first home built in Savannah by Isaiah Davenport, known locally as Laura's House." Photo used with permission. © Rachel
Sorrel Weed House on Madison Square, 6 West Harris Street | Featured on HGTV, "If Walls Could Talk," the haunted corridors of Sorrel Weed House were once walked by some of Savannah's most famous guests, including General Robert E. Lee and General William Tecumseh Sherman. It was the first structure built on Madison Square in 1841 by acclaimed architect Charles Cluskey. At the time, the squares were called a "green," where Savannahians gathered for parties. Its 16,000 square feet makes it the largest house in Savannah. Photo used with permission. © Robert E. Parish.
Resurrection Fern on Historic Savannah Steps | Typically, the Live Oak trees in Forsyth Park and Savannah's squares sport vibrant green manes of resurrection fern, seen here on historic Savannah steps. When the weather is extremely dry, the fern's leaves dry and curl up. After a rain, the ferns earn their name by coming alive with emerald green color. Photo used with permission. © Diane Fields.
Foggy Savannah Riverfront of Rousakis Plaza | It was in 1733 that settlers from Great Britain landed at the base of the 40-foot high river bluff overlooking the Savannah River. Georgia founder James Edward Oglethorpe, a military officer and Parliamentarian, and 114 colonists had sailed from Gravesend, England on the Anne, a 200-ton frigate commanded by Captain John Thomas. On arrival to England's new colony, Oglethorpe's first official act was to kneel with the company to offer thanksgiving and prayer to God. Now the State of Georgia in the United States, it was the last colony established on the North American mainland. Photo used with permission. © LD Royal.
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge | Savannah NWR, which lies on both the South Carolina and Georgia sides of the Savannah River just upriver from the city of Savannah, Georgia, was established April 6, 1927. The refuge is home to a large variety of wildlife including: ducks, geese, wading birds, shorebirds and several endangered and/or threatened species including bald eagles, wood storks, manatees and short nose sturgeon. The refuge also provides nesting areas for wood ducks, great horned owls, bald eagles, osprey and swallow-tailed kites among others. Savannah NWR is located one mile north of Port Wentworth, Georgia on GA 25/SC 170 (take I-95 Exit 109 to GA 21 South, then east on GA 30 to GA 25 North). Photo used with permission. © Dwain Moody.
Brilliant Bouquet of Color in Savannah Gardens | Savannah, Georgia offers visitors a visual banquet of texture and color.

Savannah Park Musician | Known among cities where blues was born in the American South, the ever-captivating street musicians and artists entertain in Savannah. From the Savannah River wharf and through the historic district, musicians blend into the unhurried to lively atmosphere, almost as character-inspired props in Savannah's intriguing backdrops.

Historic Row Houses | In the article "What's Doing in Savannah," John C. Williams for the New York Times points to Savannah and "the country's largest urban National Historic Landmark District, which includes free-standing mansions, row houses, and 22 squares." Historically preserved, the grand to modest row houses are part what is most admired in the American South. "Unlike some other time-worn towns, Savannah doesn't believe in keeping the family treasures in a display case, to be seen but not touched," writes Williams.

"First Saturday on the River" | On the first Saturday of each month a festival atmosphere enlivens River Street. Adding to the ambiance on Rousakis Plaza along the Savannah riverfront, a 1930s-era streetcar began rolling along River Street in February 2009. Parallel to the Savannah River wharf, River Street is an icon in Savannah, with his repurposed cotton warehouses, now shops, restaurants, offices and chic apartments.

Ellis Square [now complete] Under Reconstruction | Near City Market, this street bolder displays the hopeful optimism expressed by inconvenienced tourists and Savannah's citizens during Ellis Square multi-year construction. The City Market Parking Garage (located on what was once Savannah's vibrant City Market) was torn down on January 11, 2006. Today the infrastructure is complete. A large underground parking garage accommodates tourists and downtown Savannah's working professionals. Jerry Lominack of Lominack Kolman Smith Architects, one of the firms working on the project, said, "[Ellis Square] will have trees and grass, but it will be a more active square than the others. Possible concerts, art exhibitions, markets will be held there. Families can go and do things and kids can play. Basically, it will be an active entertainment square."

Forsyth Fountain's Tritons | Located in Forsyth Park's fountain, four tritons -- half man and half sea serpent, each with his left hand on his waist and his right hand holding a shell-horn – spout water in an arc. During its installation in 1858, the water gushed too vigorously. The fountain was supplied with fresh water and ran only in the afternoons. Today the lighted fountain gushes water around the clock. For the Savannah's St. Patrick's Day festivities, the water is turned green. Source: City of Savannah | Photo used with permission. © Marc Holtzberg.
Old South's Street Appeal in Savannah | Along the unique city's grid of straight streets and inner city squares, historic preservation in Savannah embraces street appeal and elegance associated with the Old South. Part of fun-filled a journey in Savannah, is to discover that appearances matter … a lot! For example, among other approvals, a Certificate of Appropriateness is required to alter the exterior appearance, including sidewalks and the color of structures. Scholar Laura Bell Palmer and her grandson Malcolm Bell III asserted that the grids and squares in 17th century Beijing and in Sicily's old fortified towns respectively were found in Oglethorpe's design in Savannah.

Avenue of Live Oak, Wormsloe Plantation a Georgia State Park, Isle of Hope | In 1890, the road to Wormsloe Plantation was lined with live oak trees, creating the stunning, mile-long "Avenue of Live Oak" entrance so frequently associated with the historic plantation. Noble Jones was a man on whom Georgia founder, James Oglethorpe, could depend. Jones, who had served as carpenter, constable and doctor to the colonists, was also the man who laid out the city of Augusta, when Oglethorpe ordered him to do so in 1736. That same year Oglethorpe and the Trustees leased 500 acres to Jones, who began work on a combination plantation/fort along the Skidaway River, one of a myriad of Georgia's coastal rivers. Two other colonists, John Fallowfield and Henry Parker, joined Jones on this "Isle of Hope." Photo used with permission. © Jim Hasapis.
The Pirates' House dining | Savannah's famous Pirates House restaurant is located on one of the most historic spots in Georgia. It is here that Trustees Garden, the first experimental garden in America, was located. The small building adjoining the Pirates' House was erected in 1734 and is said to be the oldest house in the State of Georgia. The building originally housed the gardener of Trustees' Garden. His office and tool room were in the front section, while his stable occupied the back room and his hayloft, upstairs. The bricks used in the construction of this old "Herb House," as it is called today, were manufactured only a short block away under the bluff by the Savannah River where the colonists began brick making as early as 1733. Savannah is mentioned numerous times in the classic, Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Tis' said that old Captain Flint, who originally buried the fabulous treasure on Treasure Island, died at The Pirates' House in an upstairs room. In the novel, Flint's faithful mate, Billy Bones, was at his side when he breathed his last breathe, muttering "Darby, bring aft the rum." Today many swear that the ghost of Captain Flint still haunts The Pirates' House on moonless nights. Photo used with permission. © Tom Warner.
Beautiful Verandah in Lush Savannah | Here a spectacular home is set in the emerald green, sub-tropical climate of beautiful Savannah. "Whenever I think of Savannah, Georgia, I always think of an exotic, steamy woman with her Spanish moss hair, her lush green landscape as eyes, her multi-colored flora as her seductive wardrobe, and her wrought-iron balustrades as her attractive jewels," writes one Savannah visitor.

A Savannah Protector | A lion holding a shield is located on each corner of the base of the statue of James Edward Oglethorpe in Chippewa Square. On these shields are found Oglethorpe's coat of arms and the seals of the colony, the state, and the city of Savannah. Daniel Chester French's bronze statue of the Georgia founder was unveiled on November 23, 1910. The nine-foot statue stands atop a pedestal on which is carved a portion of the charter of the colony. New York architect Henry Bacon designed the pedestal and base. A few years later he and Daniel French team up to produce the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. A Tarrcado Lion statue near the Cotton Exchange on Bay Street was damaged in 2009, but other lions in the historic district decorate the landscape. Photo (c) Eric Miller. Used with permission.
Wright Square Cherubs | This monument in Wright Square commemorates William Washington Gordon (1796 - 1842), early mayor of Savannah, and founder and president of Georgia's first railroad -- the Central Railroad and Banking Co. The monument was designed by architects Henry Van Brunt and Frank M. Howe, and completed in 1883. Gordon's granddaughter is Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts.

Forsyth Park Fountain, Forsyth Park in the Savannah Historic District | The Fountain is located in Forsyth Park, which extends from Gaston Street to Park Avenue along the Bull Street corridor. "Culturally speaking, it is not insignificant that the Forsyth Park fountain was thought to be a copy of the one in the Place de la Concorde, by Hittorff, who completed two monumental fountains in that square only a few short years before Forsyth Place (now Forsyth Park) was created. Bull Street was thought of as a boulevard and promenade (both French terms) and the fountain served as a focal point of a long vista, all the way from the Exchange, which was City Hall. In an economic context, the park and the fountain would not have been possible if Savannah were not experiencing economic prosperity. The 1850's were the first consistently prosperous period throughout the South, which admired and emulated the high style of the French Empire." Source: City of Savannah.

Tybee Island Lighthouse, Tybee Island, Georgia | Shortly after Georgia founder, James Edward Oglethorpe landed in 1732, he assigned carpenters to the task of prefabricating an octagonal wooden tower, something that mariners could take a bearing on. A storm toppled it in 1741 and a replacement was floated down river and set in place in March 1742. The second tower served until the eve of the Revolution when sea erosion threatened it.

Tybee Island Lighthouse, Tybee Island, Georgia | The Revolutionary government erected a brick tower (1771-73). George Washington personally reviewed the rebuilding of the woodwork of Tybee Lighthouse.

Owens-Thomas House, A Telfair Museum on Oglethorpe Square | Famed as a place where General Marquis de Lafayette spent the night in 1825, this house evokes the heyday of Savannah's golden age. English architect William Jay, who captured the grace of Georgian Bath in England and the splendor of Regency London, designed it in 1816. The place has been called a "jewel box."

The ballast stones from ships were used to pave the narrow alleys and stairs that lead down to the Savannah River are not technically cobblestones, as any local will gladly tell you. Rather, they're rubble of various compositions that crossed the ocean in frigates, serving as ballast in holds that would return bearing cotton, the venerated "white gold."

A minute ago it was an approaching rain squall that was distracting Pat Powers.
"We'd better get to the house if you don't want to drown," he says. But then something else catches his eye – a white saloon car turning off the highway. Reflexively he is alert to peril, like a rabbit watching a passing fox. In his trouser pocket, his phone begins to buzz.
Things work a bit differently here at Miracle Village, a collection of squat yellow bungalows deep in Florida's sugar cane country south of Lake Okeechobee – because they have to. More than half the residents are convicted sex offenders, many of them recently released from prison and still on probation.
Like everyone else, Pat has just received a POP text from the office that monitors who comes in and out. It stands for "probation officer on property". He spies a young man standing in the doorway of one of the homes and yells at him to get inside. "He is under house arrest," he explains.
A "gated community" this may be, but to live here is not exactly a privilege. It's a predicament. In Florida, as elsewhere in the US, sex offenders are not done when they leave prison. They are placed on a sex offenders' registry which anyone can access online. Wherever they move, police distribute fliers alerting neighbours to their arrival.
More punitive are the restrictions on where they can live. In Florida, it can't be within 1,000 feet of anywhere children might gather, be it a school, a playground, a park or even a bus stop. Those conditions are extremely hard to meet, and explain why the space under a freeway flyover was home to scores of sex offenders in Miami, because everywhere else was ruled out for them. And it's also the reason for Miracle Village, founded in 2009 by an activist preacher named Richard Witherow and now bursting at the seams.
Mr Witherow, who has since died, was the leader of a small church called Matthew 25 Ministries and the author of a little-known book called The Modern Day Leper, which detailed the burden of registry and distance laws heaped upon sex offenders leaving prison. The solution came to him quickly: lepers need a colony so he and his number two in the church set about looking for a viable location. That was Pat Powers, 66, himself a former sex offender.
Not that finding the right spot was easy. But Powers recalls one day hearing a message from God. "A voice told me, 'Go to Pahokee'," he says, smiling. He had never heard of it. Instead of Pahokee, a once thriving but now threadbare town on the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee, a sequence of mishaps and road diversions led him a few miles east. Miracle Village, then called Pelican Lake, had been built in 1965 as housing for farm labourers. "No, God, this can't be it," he declared. "It's just such a dump."
Nearly four years later, the village has become a sanctuary that is unique, certainly in its size and longevity. Each of the 52 bungalows, set amid neatly mown lawns, holds two homes, some still occupied by the now retired cane workers. At the last count, 110 of the 200 residents are former sex offenders, among them only one woman.
There have been bumps in the road, not least the day Powers first approached the City Council in nearby Pahokee. "We were the plague. They wanted to hang us. They wanted to knock the crap out of us and they had to give us a police escort to leave." In the end the village was approved. Whether that was a good thing depends on who you talk to.
For the men inside the village, it was. Mostly they express gratitude at being here, mixed with anger at the system. "It's difficult when you do the amount of time they give you and you have always admitted what you did, and then you get out finally only to find out there are still more stipulations," says Lee White, 31, taking a break from strimming weeds on the grounds of the village. He recently arrived after spending 13 years behind bars for attempted sexual battery with a minor under 12. Luis Santiago, 29, who was convicted of the same crime, says: "You do the crime, you do the time. Yet, I still have to face the internet for the rest of my life."
Among the first to arrive was Matt Richey. Still only 23, he was turned in to the authorities by his mother when, aged 18, he had sex with a younger brother. He was in prison for two years but then struck a deal to move to Miracle Village to live on probation. Given the choice, he would move to Oklahoma where he has family but for now it's out of the question. "If everything stays the way that they want it, I will be here for a very long time," he observes wryly.
Yet in a way Matt may have found his niche. He is in training to become the assistant to another former sex offender, Chad Stoffel, the director of the village and right hand man to Powers. Between them they run the village. Out of every 20 who apply to move here, only one is generally accepted. No diagnosed paedophiles are accepted, or convicted child rapists. When an approved applicant leaves prison, Powers is there to pick them up, no matter where in Florida. They often help in court cases too. Last week Stoffel testified for a young man accused in a sex offence case. The court was the same one that had convicted him, and the judge too.
"It was an odd dynamic," says Stoffel, who taught music at a private school in West Palm Beach when, at 29, he met an under-age boy while rehearsing for an amateur musical. They had sex and the boy's father threatened to report him. He didn't have to. Stoffel resigned and enrolled at a Tennessee retreat that offered to "cure" his homosexuality. When he realised that was hopeless, he confessed to the Florida authorities and was immediately charged.
His story shows another problem with the system, he says. "If I go and ask for help, all of a sudden I've incriminated myself. No one stood up and testified against me. Everything that was used against me was from my own confession."
Not everyone in Pahokee has come to terms with the village. "I think it's real bad," mutters English Gaskew, 63, a retired cane worker. "We don't need them, period. I would tell them to go, I would tell them that right now." But the pastor of the First United Methodist Church, Patti Aupperlee, takes the opposite view. Two years ago she attended a service at the tiny church at Miracle Village and witnessed Stoffel singing. She was spellbound. Since then, he has taken over as music director of her church and others from the village have joined her congregation.
"You commit a crime, you do your time, and when you are released the assumption is you have paid your debt to society. But not with this group of folks," she says. "There is no other crime that follows you for the rest of your life. You can kill a person and you get out of prison and you're done. Our laws are not rational or even meaningful."
Like everyone else at the village, Powers doesn't hide that he did wrong. In his case it was young students when he was a sports coach. But he skips the details. "This isn't about me any more. That's in the past. I am talking about the future." First, that means getting as many residents as possible back with their families. His broader, more difficult goal is reform of the sex registry laws he calls unconstitutional. That means changing the minds of politicians. "Give me your votes and I will make your families feel safe: I think that's what's really happening now. You're supposed to be in a free society, but you're not."
And it's not even about the rest of your life, Powers notes. "Even when sex offenders die, they will still be on the registry. I don't know why they keep them on the registry, but they don't take them off. Not here in Florida."Reuse content

Amid growing fears that EMI is preparing to slash its 16p dividend by more than 40% to save £50m cash, Levy is under great pressure to reduce its burgeoning £1.1bn debt. Rumours suggest Levy will announce disposal of non-core assets, including part of the £285m property portfolio. The famous Abbey Road recording studios in St John's Wood, London, where the Beatles recorded many of their albums, could come under the hammer.
Another possibility is that Levy will sell its 42.7% stake in HMV Media, which has more than 500 stores around the world, including Waterstone's bookshops. That could raise £130m. Levy must reduce short-term debt whilst creating long-term savings by reducing overheads in recorded music.
EMI is desperate to get investors back on its side. February's shock profit warning - the second in five months - came after it paid £19.6m to cancel its contract with diva Mariah Carey. It also took a £18.5m hit for write- offs on money already spent promoting her.
Reuters was sold down to 494p before closing 4p off at 516p on turnover of 28m. Several analysts downgraded current-year earnings forecasts because of disappointing trading at Instinet. The electronic broking unit has cut commission rates to customers because of increasing competition. Merrill Lynch slashed its pretax profit forecast by £115m to £463m.
As many hopeful traders backed thirdplaced See More Business in the Cheltenham Tote Gold Cup, the Footsie refused to go better. It closed 10.6 down at 5261.4. Sterling firmed to $1.4205, while the euro edged up to 62.07p.
Buyers were uninterested following Wall Street's overnight decline of 130 points on disappointing February US retail sales data and Fed chairman Alan Greenspan's restrained statement on the economy. Wall Street had heard it all before.
The Dow Jones yesterday retrieved an initial 26-point deficit to trade 49 higher after a surprise 3,000 reduction to 377,000 in first-time US jobless claims last week. Dealers believe it shows the economy is recovering.
A Competition Commission report accused big banks of overcharging small firms. The response was muted, apart from perennial bid favourite Alliance & Leicester gaining 13p at 848 1/2p and Royal Bank of Scotland rising 9p at 1827p.
Oxford Glycosciences advanced 35p to 415p on a three-year agreement with BioInvent International to identify, develop and produce new therapeutic antibodies.
Fund manager Aberdeen Asset Management collapsed 41 1/2p to 265p on nervous selling. About 19% of its funds (£6bn-plus) are in investment trusts, of which £2.7bn are split capital. Aberdeen's revenues from splits in 2001 were £18m, or 10% of the total. They will be considerably lower this year.
The Financial Services Authority is investigating these arcane investment vehicles. The big fear now is that it will force all of the remaining funds to be repatriated to investors. If so, Aberdeen's reputation would be damaged and it could cause investors to withdraw funds held in many of its other products.
Aim-listed Firestone Diamonds gained 16p to 82 1/2p. Record prices have been obtained from production at its Oena Mine in South Africa. A parcel of 208 carats sold for an average $1,080 per carat, up 49% on the last reported sale price of $723.
Technology management company Medical Marketing improved 2p to 58 1/2p after winning a contract from the National Blood Service to manage technologies from its 12 UK laboratories.
Trafficmaster, which supplies digital traffic information, accelerated 2 1/2p to 32p on annual results. It made a pretax loss of £16.4m but expects to be cash generative this year.
Leisure group Wembley jumped 55p to 745p on a Merrill Lynch buy recommendation. It lifted its target price £2 to £11.Reuse content

Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I would like to set up a prediction market website. I understand that gambling is illegal in the US, but if users play with fake money that they buy off the website, will it be legal? The Users will receive prizes for how much they win and bet. So is this legal? And do I need to do something with the government to set up the website.
Whether the players receive money, goods (gifts), or anything which can be converted to money and if they are buying online money with real money, you have created a gambling site. You can consult a local attorney as to gambling, but if your site can be reached outside of CA, then the issue is gambling, state by state, and as to the Feds. If the users are not paying and only receive "bragging rights" for winning, then I can see no gambling involved.
We do not have a client/attorney relationship until you make an appointment, we discuss your case face to face, I accept a retainer, and we explictly agree to enter into representation.Ask a similar question
I agree with Mr. Poulson although I would really suggest that you hire a lawyer to advise you.
I agree with Mr. Poulson and Ms. Johns. You really need to invest in the business and get legal advice on the issue. I really think that the issue which will cause you problems is if the "Prizes" are real versus virtual. I play online poker and there doesn't appear to be a problem (based solely on experience) with the sites where you are given chips and can buy additional chips and win virtual prizes. That is not the same as being able to turn those virtual chips into real world cash like items. You definitely need to consult a knowledgable attorney about the legality of that issue.
Yes, I do agree that the attorney consult is the only way to be sure, and a must befoer proceeding.
You should have this business model reviewed by an online gaming lawyer. Some states will treat virtual currency that has any value whatsoever, as sufficient 'consideration' to support a finding of gambling. The laws of each state are potentially applicable, unless you geo-block users from specific states, to avoid application of those states' laws. Also, if the 'predictions' involve a sufficient element of skill, that may take the business model out of the realm of gambling. Currently, the federal government does not issue licenses for this sort of business. Nevada has issued initial approval for licensure of some online gaming companies, but your goal will probably be to avoid any business model that requires licensure.

ARS Animal Improvement Programs Lab Honored by Government ExecutiveBy Hank Becker
BELTSVILLE, Md., Dec. 11--Government Executive magazine has presented the Agricultural Research Services Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory here with one of its 1998 Government Technology Leadership Awards. The award was presented earlier this month at the Reagan International Trade Center in Washington.
The award recognizes ARS' Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) for initiating a project that increases the rate of genetic improvement of dairy cows. To achieve this, scientists at the lab--led by geneticist H. Duane Norman--provide breeders with timely information to identify dairy cattle with the highest genetic merit.
The Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory is responsible for evaluating the genetics of dairy cattle. This information is vital to dairy breeders and breeding companies looking for the next generation of the U.S. milking herd, said Caird Rexroad, ARS Associate Deputy Administrator for Animal Production, Product Value and Safety.
Genetic merit of over 11 million dairy cows is estimated each year, requiring the AIPL staff to process over 60 million milk records. These evaluations are available to 38,000 U.S. dairy breeders, 100 artificial-insemination organizations, 65 extension specialists, 6 dairy records processing centers, and hundreds of researchers in the United States and many foreign countries.
AIPL's evaluation system reduces by one half the time between receiving the incoming information and releasing the genetic evaluations to the industry. Because of this gain--and the fact that the information is processed twice as often--users receive the new data 11 weeks sooner than in the past.
Reducing the time of providing new information is one key way of increasing the rate of genetic improvement," Rexroad said. The AIPL project annually provides $60 million of additional value to dairy producers and consumers while saving $85,000 a year at the laboratory.
AIPL reports the ranking data quarterly and makes the information available to producers globally via its website (http://aipl.arsusda.gov). AIPL also provides an electronic file-transfer system via the Internet for cooperating user organizations and common files available to the general public.
In addition to Norman, the research leader, the AIPL staff includes geneticists Rex. L. Powell, George R. Wiggans, Curtis P. Van Tassell and Paul M. VanRaden; five support scientists and seven data-processing specialists.
For the last 7 years, Government Executive has named about 20 awardees yearly. This year, in addition to AIPL, Government Executive honored 18 other awardees, including two other USDA groups, selected from nearly 200 nominations. Individual members of the groups cited received plaques at the ceremony.

Dirty Loops, 'Sayonara Love' [SONG PREMIERE]
You may have not yet heard of Swedish pop-fusion group Dirty Loops, but with their unique blend of perfectly harmonized vocals and funky, electro-pop beats, you won't be forgetting them any time soon. The group, whose covers of songs by Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears (and more) have gone viral, are back with their own insanely upbeat tune, 'Sayonara Love' — and PopCrush has the exclusive premiere of the track!
'Sayonara Love' kicks off with an EDM vibe at the beginning, intriguing the audience with its futuristic-sounding beats and the repetition of the song's catchy title. As the tune builds, the band's vocals almost have a Backstreet Boys-like quality, only mixing those swoon-worthy harmonies over an intense electric, club-like beat. The resulting sound is an awesome, funky twist on both pop and EDM, perfect for a fan of either genre, and especially for a fan of that slick fusion sound.
Listen to the exclusive premiere of Dirty Loops' 'Sayonara Love' above! Like what you hear? You can pre-order the group's upcoming album, 'Loopified,' on iTunes here!
Plus, the band will be doing a special performance at Guitar Center in NYC on Aug. 20 at 6PM ET. If you're in the city, be sure to stop by to see them live and meet the band!

Deed of trust may refer to:
Transactions involving trust deeds are normally structured, at least in theory, so that the lender gives the borrower/trustor the money to buy the property; the borrower/trustor tenders the money to the seller; the seller executes a grant deed giving the property to the borrower/trustor; and the borrower/trustor immediately executes a trust deed giving the property to the trustee to be held in trust for the lender/beneficiary.
deed of trust n : a written instrument legally conveying property to a trustee often used to secure an obligation such as a mortgage or promissory note [syn: {trust deed}]
A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property through the use of a mortgage note which evidences the existence of the loan and the encumbrance of that realty through the granting of a mortgage which secures the loan.

So...What do you all folks think of Sgt. Alvin York?
I think he absolutely kicks it! A True American hero!
"York's role as hero went beyond his exploit in the Argonne and continues to both inspire and confound. On October 8, 1918, Corporal Alvin C. York and sixteen other soldiers under the command of Sergeant Bernard Early were dispatched before sunrise to take command of the Decauville railroad behind Hill 223 in the Chatel-Chehery sector of the Meuse-Argonne sector. The seventeen men, due to a misreading of their map (which was in French not English) mistakenly wound up behind enemy lines. A brief fire fight ensued which resulted in the confusion and the unexpected surrender of a superior German force to the seventeen soldiers. Once the Germans realized that the American contingent was limited, machine gunners on the hill overlooking the scene turned the gun away from the front and toward their own troops. After ordering the German soldiers to lie down, the machine gun opened fire resulting in the deaths of nine Americans, including York's best friend in the outfit, Murray Savage. Sergeant Early received seventeen bullet wounds and turned the command over to corporals Harry Parsons and William Cutting, who ordered York to silence the machine gun. York was successful and when all was said and done, nine men had captured 132 prisoners."

Here comes the Sun
Aug 15 2014
Fascinating history and art make Konark temple a must visit
Just then, a 12-year-old boy asks to meet Maharana. He detects the problem, offers a solution. Work goes on through the moonlit night. The capstone is finally in place. The boy has saved 1,200 lives, or has he really? If the king hears that a mere boy could solve an issue 1,200 skilled workers could not, will he not execute them anyway?
The workers urge Bisu Maharana to kill the boy. About to do so, Maharana discovers that it is his own son Dharmapada, born soon after he had left home. To spare Maharana his agonising dilemma, his son jumps to his death from the temple top. Just as Arka, the sun, rises from a "kona" or a corner of the sky to shine on the magnificent Konark sun temple.
While Konark sun temple in Odisha is dedicated to the rising sun, the sun temple at Martand in Jammu and Kashmir worships the mid-day sun and the one at Modhera in Gujarat, the setting sun.
The drive to Konark is pleasant, through the Balukhanda Konark wildlife sanctuary, the path dotted with frequent "deer crossing" signs. National highway 316 then runs parallel to the casuarinas of Chandrabhaga beach. But for the temple, and the annual dance festival in winter, there is not much else in Konark.
At dawn, I watch the sun light up the temple, its magnificence but a memory that still draws curious multitudes. As they enter the precincts this morning —men in spotless dhotis and women in colourful sarees — they are snapped up by guides eager to dispense with their knowledge for a fee. I am atop a nearby rampart, and cannot be offered such guidance. But then I have been here before, drawn by the fascinating history and the art.
The Konark temple is the idea of a sun god riding a chariot with 12 pairs of wheels and seven horses exquisitely expressed in stone. The wheels represent the cyclical passage of the months, and the horses, the days of the week. The larger-than-life idols of the sun wear waist girdles and boots. The attire reveals foreign influence: worship of Mehr — or Mihira or the Sun God — came to India with the Magas from Persia.
Different levels of the temple are named after parts of the human body. The temple offers a holistic view of the journey of life. Intricate sculptures show cavalry, indolent damsels, erotic couples and playful children. There are elephants, horses, lions and geese. Men, presumed to be from east Africa, are gifting a giraffe to the king. There is music and martial arts, sex and sermon. Or there was.
All the sculptures we see now are on the porch or the Jagamohana, and the pillared bhoga-mandapa, a hall without a roof. When the main sanctum crumbled, those clearing the debris found no deity within. Many explanations were given: that the idol had been made of wood, and so it had crumbled too, that it had been taken away by Muslim invaders, that no worship had ever been held because of Dharmapada's sacrifice.
The soul has left. The body remains in the care of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). A few of the sculptures have been preserved in the professional, sanitised and lifeless confines of the ASI museum nearby. Plain blocks of stone and ugly iron pipes hold up the crumbling structure — even as a relentless sun slowly claims what was always his own. zz

The Museum is open Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday-Sunday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Museums is also open most holidays (please call in advance). Admission is free of charge. Researchers should make an appointment. All the collections are available for short-term loan to appropriate institutions. Responses to request for information on medical topics are limited due to small staff. The primary use of the collections is display in onsite galleries, but they are also used for educational programs and onsite research by scholars and students.
The collections of the UIHC Medical Museum consist of objects and other items related to the history of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, the state of Iowa, and the Midwest region of the United States, which are suitable for display, research, educational use, and loan. The collections also reflect our focus on current health care issues.
Permanent Artifact Collection, late 19th century to present day
Approximately 5,000 objects
The stimulus for the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) Medical Museum was the donation of a case of surgical instruments to the UIHC by Phoebe Wilcox of Newton, Iowa, in 1982. These instruments belonged to her grandfather, Dr. Vinton S. Wilcox, who was a member of the fourth graduating class of the University of Iowa Medical Department in 1874, and who became a general practitioner in Malcolm, Iowa. With these instruments as one of many exhibits designed to appeal to an audience of patients, visitors, the hospital community, and the general public, the Museum opened in February, 1989. Since then, its goals to promote patient welfare and an understanding of the history of health care and current issues in the health sciences have been implemented through exhibitions and programs.
The Permanent Collection: consists of objects and other items (photographs, documents, books, etc.), which are significant or related to the mission and collecting objectives of the Museum. The three-dimensional artifact collections are approximately 3,000 strong. Some of the major categories are ophthalmology, dentistry, phlebotomy, surgical instruments, UIHC history, diagnostic equipment, obstetrics/gynecology, cardiology, and otolaryngology.
Collection items relating to the history of artificial organs include:
- heart valves;
- mold for prosthetic blood vessels;
- iron lung;
- pacemakers;
- hearing aids;
- Distal Ulnar Head and Scaphoid implants
- Miller/Galante Total Knee System
Consult Museum Director.
Consult Museum Director.
Education Collection: consists of objects and other items which are related to the mission of the Museum but are either in relatively poor condition or represent unnecessary duplication of items in the permanent collection. This collection is used for educational programs and demonstrations to groups of all ages. The education collection was started in 1995 so it is currently small, but growing.
Archives Collection: consists of any and all documentation related to the history of the Medical Museum. The archives include all correspondence, policies and procedures, financial records, and any other documentation relevant to the institutional history of the UIHC Medical Museum. These records are used by appropriate parties for research on the Museum and its history within the UIHC and the University of Iowa.
Museum Photographic Collection: consists of approximately 500 photographs related to medicine in Iowa

You are herecontent / Kafka Does Iraq: The Disturbing Case of Abdul Amir Younes Hussein
Kafka Does Iraq: The Disturbing Case of Abdul Amir Younes Hussein
Published on Saturday, September 24, 2005 by the Huffington Post
By Arianna Huffington
The disturbing case of Abdul Amir Younes Hussein, the CBS cameraman who has been detained by U.S. forces in Iraq for over five months without a shred of evidence being publicly presented against him, has taken yet another bizarre turn.
As reported by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal last week, Hussein is a 25-year-old freelancer who has found himself trapped in a nightmare of secrecy, suspicion, and legal uncertainty since being wounded by U.S. forces while filming the aftermath of a car bombing in Mosul on April 5th.
At first the military expressed regret for Hussein's minor injuries. But three days later they arrested him, claiming he had been "engaged in anti-coalition activity." Thus began his Kafka-esque legal odyssey, which has seen the reportedly timid reporter shuttled from prison to prison (including Abu Ghraib), while the military has changed its story multiple times, refused to release any evidence against him, refused to let Hussein be visited by friends or relatives, and rebuffed the efforts of CBS to have his case adjudicated in a conclusive manner.
"We're not insisting that Abdul Amir is innocent," CBS President Andrew Heyward told me. "We're just asking for due process and some answers, which so far the military has refused to provide. What are the specific charges against him? What is the evidence against him? Why can't we see it? Instead, we've seen shifting explanations and seemingly arbitrary rulings."
The latest twist in the case came earlier this week. Back in July -- already three months after his arrest -- Hussein was scheduled to have his case heard by the Combined Review and Release Board, a panel made up of American military officials and Iraqi government officials. In preparation for the hearing, CBS News submitted evidence it had gathered supporting Hussein's innocence. But the hearing was abruptly cancelled and his case turned over to Iraqi criminal authorities. They in turn reviewed the case and, in late August, declined to prosecute him.
Once again we see that Iraqi authorities are sovereign only as long as they agree with the Americans actually in charge. This time they didn't agree, so instead of releasing him, the military kept him in jail claiming it had access to classified information the Iraqi authorities didn't. Another hearing with the CRRB was set for September 22. But on September 12, CBS News was informed that the hearing had already been held -- without Hussein, his lawyer, or anyone from CBS News in attendance. Then, on Tuesday, came word that the CRRB had decided to keep Hussein in jail, with no review of his case for another six months.
It's an outrage. And not just for Abdul Hussein. Cases like his can't help but have a chilling effect on news coverage of Iraq. With Western reporters holed up away from the action, news organizations are relying on Iraqi personnel to get the story.
At such a crucial time in the war, we need the most accurate accounting of what is actually happening on the ground as is possible -- and anything that closes down that flow of information (like the prolonged detention of those trying to report from the front) needs to be fought tooth and nail.
The American people deserve the truth. About the war and about Abdul Amir Younes Hussein.

I lived, studied and taught in Germany for a number of years. There were a lot of latent fascists walking around still in Hamburg. Most had died off, so those remaining stood out.
Some of these "fellows" took up teaching (after De-Nazification). I debated these old-line nazi's many times; the words coming out of the Bush WH are very familiar.
Incarcerations, phony trials, no real legal rep, sweeps (random round up hundreds of men who fall into the appropriate group in the hope somebody may know something).
Mothers, awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of the door being battered in. They beg and howl for their children or husbands or fathers taken away by heavily armed monsters.
These sweeps and random round-ups create 25 new enemies for every person taken into custody and not heard from again.

This article pretty much sums up why I spent Saturday September 24, 2005 in Washington, D.C. As an attorney, I am completely convinced that the entire Bush administraton and all of its supporters are fascists and this incident about the CBS cameraman is a clear example among many others.
As we were leaving our bus yesterday, I advised the bus leader that I was an attorney and gave her my phone number. I was concerned that there might be incidents akin to the tactics used in Manhattan during the 2004 RNC.
Fortunately, all three of our buses came back with all aboard and no incidents. The sooner all Americans realize just what is at stake with this fascist administration, the faster our country will be restored to the people and taken away from the elite wealthy interests who have brought us to this brink of totalitarianism.

Steeped in Local History
Our hotel has a long history and has been welcoming travellers since the 16th century, when it gave shelter and sustenance to drovers moving their flocks to market.
Unique and Secluded
On the southern shore of Loch Tay, amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe, Ardeonaig is a very special hotel in a spectacular location, offering peace, tranquility, relaxation and luxury. We are all about showcasing the very best Scotland has to offer without the pretention.
With ten acres of garden, commanding views straight over Loch Tay to the spectacular Lawers mountain range, snow capped from October to May, our own orchard and vinyard, a variety of accommodation types to suit all budgets, you'll find that the further you venture past the front door, the more awe inspiring the Ardeonaig experience becomes.
From Glasgow or Edinburgh you can reach us in a couple of hours, but while you're here, you'll feel a million miles away from the pressures of modern life.
With a Contemporary Twist
Today, the heart of Ardeonaig remains the original inn.
These days we maintain a rather more contemporary level of comfort in our guest bedrooms and throughout the hotel - though the welcome is as warm and genuine as it's always been.

Pope rules Vatican bank to stay operative, approves reforms
By Philip Pullella
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis has approved a reform proposal keeping the Vatican bank operative, ending a year of speculation over whether the pontiff would close the institution that has embarrassed the Church for decades.
The bank's stated purpose is to manage funds for Roman Catholic orders of priests and nuns, charitable institutions and Vatican employees and retirees. But it has been dogged by episodes of malpractice by people authorised to hold accounts there and murky dealings with Italian financial institutions.
"The IOR will continue to serve with prudence and provide specialized financial services to the Catholic Church worldwide," the Vatican said on Monday in a statement announcing that Francis had approved recommendations for the future of the bank, known as the Institute for Works of Religion (IOR).
Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, a former senior Vatican accountant
who had close ties to the IOR, is currently on trial accused of plotting to smuggle millions of dollars into Italy from Switzerland as part of a scheme to help rich friends avoid taxes.
Scarano has also been indicted on separate charges of laundering millions of euros through the IOR. Paolo Cipriani and
Massimo Tulli, the IOR's director and deputy director, who resigned last July after Scarano's arrest, have been ordered to stand trial on charges of violating anti-money laundering norms.
The most infamous scandal involving the IOR was in 1982, when it was caught up in the fraudulent bankruptcy of Italy's Banco Ambrosiano, whose president Roberto Calvi was found hanged under a bridge in London. Continued...

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell was unable to summon Senior Night magic as they fell 38-6 to UNC Greensboro in their home finale Tuesday inside the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center.

Junior Jake Fose won an exciting 10-8 overtime decision over UNC Greensboro's Travis Sheehy in the 157 pound spot just nine seconds into the extra period.
With the win, the Spartans improve to 8-7 on the season. Campbell finishes the regular season 1-13.
Tuesday marked the final home match for Campbell seniors Richie Apolinar, Kelin Bidelspach, Jeff Cote, Gittens, Chris Mazzatta, and David Wise. The six received recognition for their accomplishments in a ceremony that followed the match.
With the conclusion of the regular season, the Camels will look forward to the East Region Championships in Millersville, Pa., which are slated to begin Saturday, March 6.

Sarah Jessica Parker: Off to School with the Girls!
A mother's work is never done, and Sarah Jessica Parker escorted her daughters to their West Village school earlier today (January 29).
The "Sex and the City" actress held hands with little Tabitha and Marion as they strolled through Manhattan, both dressed in adorable attire.
In her recent interview with Marie Claire, SJP confessed that she loves her life, though she could definitely do without the constant attention from the public.
"I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way. I am so desperately worried about anybody saying, 'She cut in line' or 'She took our table' or 'She got out of jury duty' or 'She doesn't do her own grocery shopping.'"
"The things that bother me are counter to who I am and the way I live. It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well-behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school. But it almost doesn't matter to a certain segment of the populace — they're projecting onto you this status and entitlement I don't have."

When the conditions are like this a for day or two you shrug your shoulders. When it stays like this for most of the week the margaritas start tasting bad and you are glad the guns are hidden. If you have never been to Ascension Bay you also start to think there are no fish here – of any species!

Meg Whitman has out-raised Jerry Brown four to one in large contributions during the month-plus since the June 8 primary, further adding to her already massive cash advantage heading into election season, state campaign records show.
Not counting the $20 million check she wrote to her campaign two days after the primary – almost as much as Brown had in the bank at the time – Whitman has reported raising just more than $2 million since June 9, compared to about $516,000 for Brown. Late-contribution reporting rules require only donations of at least $5,000 to be disclosed in the weeks since the primary.
Whitman has also narrowed the gap or pulled ahead in several recent polls, which her campaign has hyped as indicators that she is gaining on Brown, who led going into the general election season.
The money disparity has been a popular narrative for Brown, who has portrayed himself as an insurgent underdog, running a low-cost campaign against Whitman's seemingly bottomless bank account. But that narrative has largely assailed Whitman's personal fortune, which continues to constitute the overwhelming bulk of her campaign cash, and not the money she has raised.
Several of Whitman's largest contributions came from business executives in other states. For example, Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris gave Whitman the maximum $25,900, as did Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne. California moguls such as Hilton Hotels chairman Barron Hilton and former Univision CEO Jerry Perenchio chipped in as well.
Brown's biggest donors include George Marcus, chairman of real-estate investment firm Marcus & Millichap and several members of his family. A couple of unions, the California Teamsters and the United Food and Commercial Workers, also gave the max.

Special Survey on Vacant Faculty Positions for Academic Year 2010-2011
New data from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) on the number of nursing school faculty vacancies finds an end to a multi-year trend toward fewer vacancies. In fact, the number of nurse faculty vacancies increased last year.
Released in September, AACN's survey found a total of 880 faculty vacancies at 556 nursing schools with baccalaureate and/or graduate programs. That represented a 6.9 percent vacancy rate for the year, up from last year's rate of 6.6 percent. From 2007 to 2009, the vacancy rate declined from 8.8 percent to 6.6 percent, before inching up this year.
U.S. nursing schools turned away some 54,991 qualified student applicants in 2009, even as the nation faced a mounting shortage in practicing nurses. Almost two-thirds of nursing schools responding to AACN's survey this year laid some of the blame for turning away so many would-be nurses on faculty shortages that prevented the schools from admitting as many entry-level baccalaureate students as intended.
Those shortages are themselves partly the result of faculty shortages at the doctoral and master's levels. According to the schools, more than half of the vacant teaching positions (55.5 percent) required a doctorate degree, and either a doctorate or a master's degree was required or preferred for another two-fifths (43.9 percent) of the positions. But there are not enough advanced-degree nurses to meet the demand, and nearly a third of schools (30.4 percent) said that the limited pool of would-be faculty with doctorates was a major barrier to filling vacancies. Virtually the same number of schools cited non-competitive salaries as a barrier (30.2 percent).
"Moving to prepare more nurses with doctoral degrees must be a priority for the profession if we are to meet the nation's expanding need for nurse faculty, researchers and primary care providers," says AACN President Kathleen Potempa, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N. "With the faculty shortage expected to balloon over the next 10 years and the demand for expert nurses increasing in response to health care reform, policy-makers and other stakeholders must take decisive action now to maximize enrollment in graduate nursing programs."
Improving nursing education and dramatically increasing the number of nurses with advanced degrees is a key finding of The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health—a new report from the Institute of Medicine, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The report calls for more nurses to pursue higher degrees and sets a goal to double the number of nurses with doctoral degrees by the year 2020. Several RWJF programs, including the New Jersey Nursing Initiative and the Nurse Faculty Scholars program, are addressing the shortage of nurse faculty.
