Three journalists to be tried before military court for publishing leaked fax about CIA prisons
Reporters Without Borders today condemned a Swiss military court's announcement yesterday that it has indicted three Swiss journalists working for the weekly SonntagsBlick for publishing a leaked document on 8 January 2006 "dealing with supposed places of detention and interrogation methods used by the US foreign intelligence service (CIA)."
The three journalists - Christoph Grenacher (who is about to leave the newspaper), Sandro Brotz and Beat Jost - will face up to five years in prison for "violating defence secrecy" under article 106, section 1, of the military criminal code when they are tried in April in the northern city of St. Gall.
According to the indictment, publication of the leaked document caused considerable damage to Switzerland's strategic intelligence service. A military justice spokesman said that: "In order to maintain secretary, the questioning of the defendants, the testimony of witnesses and the presentation of the cases for the prosecution and defence will probably take place behind closed doors."
Reporters Without Borders said it questioned the legitimacy of the decision try the journalists before a military court after the idea of a civil prosecution was abandoned.
"We deplore this threat to the practice of journalism in a democracy such as Switzerland and we point out that Switzerland was condemned by the European Court of Human Rights for violating article 10 of the European Human Rights Convention over a similar case in the past," the press freedom organisation said. "We very much hope the military court will issue a verdict that is favourable to press freedom."
The offending SonntagsBlick article confirmed the existence of US detention centres in Europe and was based on a fax from the Egyptian foreign ministry which had been intercepted by Swiss military intelligence and then leaked to the three journalists.
"It was journalistically and politically judicious to publish this document," Botz said. Classified as a "defence secret," it was the first confirmation of the existence of CIA prisons in Europe. A separate military prosecution is bring brought against the persons who allegedly leaked it. The spokesman of the intelligence service was investigated by the public prosecutor's office, but the case was not pursued. The military prosecutors are, however, pursing the case.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first athlete to surpass 200 million followers on social media.
Cristiano Ronaldo has made history on social media by becoming the first athlete to reach 200 million followers across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Ronaldo has 109.7M followers on Facebook, 49.6M on Instagram and 40.7M on Twitter, after a "meteoritic rise" in popularity, according to social media tracking database Hookit,
The Real Madrid star now boasts more followers than prominent past and present NBA stars Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry's combined 187M.
Ronaldo may have lost out to Lionel Messi to the Ballon d'Or in January but the Portuguese easily trumps his long-time rival's 120.8M followers on social media, though the Argentine does not have a Twitter account.
Hookit also detail that Ronaldo saw nearly one billion interactions on social media last year and added 41.8M new followers, the majority of whom came from Instagram.
If you want to feel even worse about your own paltry social media following, the tracking database states Ronaldo averages 135,000 new followers a day!

How to win: Spend, spend, spend
A vital element of the secret of electoral success is quite simply to spend, spend, spend - as a look at the accounts of the main political parties will show.
But even those figures are dwarfed by the outlay on general elections, which not only includes cash for the campaigns but also longer term election spending.
As the committee on standards in public life noted when it looked into the subject of party funding after the 1997 contest, "there has in the past been little information about the parties' income and expenditure and no standardised categorisation of either area".
Party funding is often a murky area and only in recent years has light increasingly been shed on the issue - often only by the parties themselves when it has been deemed politically advantageous or necessary to do so.
As the committee went on to point out, "we have therefore had to rely on the parties' responses to our requests for information".
The Conservative Party's election spending is put at Ł28.3m for the 1997, compared with Labour's campaign spending of Ł14.9m. In comparison, the Liberal Democrats fought the campaign on the cheap with just Ł2.3m.
The ever-increasing amounts have led advocates of state funding and others to complain of an escalating "arms war" between the parties, in effect pricing national political participation out of the reach of all but those whom the super-wealthy will choose to bankroll.
As the war-chests have grown, so the parties have sought more wealthy one-off backers to fill them.
In 1992 Labour listed its inome from donations - small and large - as Ł3.5m. The real leap came after Tony Blair's new business-friendly leadership was installed at the head of the party: in 1996 it listed Ł10.1m in donations (compared with Ł4.2m the previous year); by 1997 it was up to Ł15.6m.
The Tories, more traditionally the party of the big donor, listed a whacking Ł20m of its income as having come from donations in 1992. By 1997 this had climbed to Ł38.2m.
The Lib Dems, in contrast to their bigger rivals, declared Ł2.1m in donations for 1992 and Ł2.5 in 1997.
Campaigners alarmed at the ballooning size of campaign expenditure can expect some relief at the next election: for the first time, a cap has been put on spending.
That relief may not be great, however, as the cap is set at Ł20m.

Both of them kept our small group fully occupied for the whole evening & we will almost certainly be inviting them back soon.
The next three shots where chosen by Elle from the back of my camera.

More photos have been taken in the last 12 months than in all human history, according to Chas Edwards, head of publisher development and chief revenue officer for Luminate, a platform that allows publishers to link advertising and e-commerce to online images.
While most of these photos probably are not spectacular, images account for a growing proportion of
online traffic, with up to 60% of page views for publishers coming from photo galleries, Edwards told the audience at the second day of the American Magazine Conference in San Francisco.
With stats like that, it's no surprise that traditionally text-focused publishers are increasingly embracing images as anchors for targeted advertising. Some 90% of Luminate's revenues come from "CPM advertising," versus just 10% from e-commerce applications.
For example, one campaign that Luminate executed for Garnier -- which targeted female viewers looking at
online images of celebrities with radiant complexions with ads for skin cream -- produced a 116% increase in favorable sentiment for the brand.
Some of Luminate's recent campaigns for advertisers have pushed the boundaries of image-based advertising beyond obvious approaches, such as linking ads to pictured products.
In one campaign for McDonald's, Luminate promoted the fast-food chain's annual Monopoly game by delivering ads highlighting the feeling of "winning" to people looking at ads of athletes and celebrities celebrating their own victories.
Another campaign for M&M's, called "Signs of Affection" and timed to coincide with Valentine's Day, linked targeted ads to images of
people expressing love and friendship. Here, Edwards noted that Luminate carefully filters images to maintain a safe environment for brands.
Looking to the future, Luminate expects strong growth driven by the growing popularity of image-based social media. Pointing to the rise of Pinterest and Facebook's acquisition of Instagram as indicators of the trend, Edwards confidently asserted that "images are the currency of the social Web."
As they say "a picture is worth a thousand impressions." My company Gloto recently introduced some innovative image-centric ad formats such as photo mosaics that are performing very well for clients. Most of the images are dynamically pulled from brand product feeds or publisher networks but increasingly customers are leveraging social channels for personalized content.

The first time I heard Mehldau was with the Josh Redman quintet. Since Mehldau has gone out on his own, having recorded 4 trio CDs, one studioand three live dates at the Village Vanguard, he has blossomed. His piano playing is exquisite. And I feel free to really ask the question: What is he going to be like when he grows up?
Mehldau's playing has been likened to Bill Evans and I can hear a little Keith Jarrett in him but, on the whole, Mehldau has developed a style that is distinctly his own. The fluidity and constancy is immaculate. His control over the keys is startling. It seems like he does not miss one note. His repertoire is expanding. He has moved beyond standards and is exploring the shapes of his own music. He creates more sound with his fingers than motion in his body. Often the whole top of his body disappears and I can only see his hands. He is in a trance when he plays. In an opposite manner, he often stretches his arms full length, his back is fully straight and his head sits in a direct line from where his hands and fingers work the keyboard. But it is not really working that he does. His fingers hit every note; his confidence is so evident about the language he speaks with the piano keys that it is dumb-founding. His often crooked right hand fingers pound out one note after the other constructing tunes, while the left hand, laying flat,backs the right with unadulterated chords.
What makes Mehldau remarkable and separates him from other pianists is his phrasing that stays at one pace and then moves into another without notice; the tempos are selected with the ultimate appropriateness. His timing is exceptional. Of course, he hangs in single successive note groups that make repetitive patterns but these are complemented at just the right point with a change in key, a gesture with a chord, a scalar run up the treble, a bass hand inclusion. Often, his left hand hangs in the air, close to thekeyboard as his right hand plays limitless improvisational melodic trains. His eyes are closed the entire time he plays. Often, when a piece seems to be ending, it is moving into another phase. Incredibly easily, in a mesmerizing continuum.
Grenadier and Rossy create an excellent rhythm section for Mehldau; the two have evolved as an active ambient backdrop for him. The three have played together so long that they are one instrument. None overpowers the other. Yet, Mehldau quietly assumes the lead. One of his Evan-esque traits is that he grabs at chords on the piano when either the bass or drums are peaking towards solo sections. Their solo sections are not explosive but serve to show their gentle temperaments which are completely in keeping with Mehldau. Grenadier and Rossy are both are at ease when listening to Mehldau. They often rest with their instruments, heads bowed.
One distinction of this concert was an instrumental conversation amongst the three. It was notable that this was the first point at which Mehldau sat out. But not for long. The bass went in and out in relation with the drums; then the piano would lead, then the drums, then the bass, and on and on. Each time the instrument that was active would lift the music to bridge to another musical statement given by another instrument. This style of playing was quite effective because there was no landing until, for instance, Mehldau stretched out his arms, his hands poised at the keyboard, and he would play the last chord to close the piece.
Mehldau does not play sleepy music. His music is so well-stated and executed that I could not help but be amazed by how he expresses himself. His musicianship is full, rich and has quality oozing out at its seams. It would be a real mistake to miss seeing this trio. The music that comes from this group is even, sensual, pleasurable and truthful. What more could the listener want.

Drive has finished second in class at the Bathurst 12 Hour race that included a 44-car field made up predominantly of race-bred supercars.
Our tiny Fiat Abarth Assetto Corse - driven by me, professional driver Paul Stokell, journalist Joshua Dowling and Fiat Chrysler New Zealand chairman Clyde Campbell - was beaten only by our team mates in an identical car, with a third Fiat Abarth on standby for a formation finish at the base of the 6.2km Mount Panorama circuit in Bathurst.
While our 1.4-litre turbocharged Abarth led the race early on, some bad luck with safety cars and pit stops saw us lapped by our Fiat-driving rivals.
The race was won outright by Peter Edwards, Craig Lowndes, John Bowe and Mika Salo driving a Ferrari 458 GT3.
It was a thrilling race at the front between various Mercedes-Benz SLS AMGs, a McLaren 12C and various Ferraris. In the end the lead Ferrari won by just 0.4 seconds.
Our challenge was staying out of trouble, with faster cars lapping every five laps or so.
Fortunately we had some technology to help us out in the form of a still-in-development Bosch CAS-M (collision avoidance system for motorsport) using a radar and camera to give us a clear picture of approaching cars. It was invaluable during 1500km of racing and meant we barely used the mirrors, instead relying on the screen.
Our car developed a mild oil leak that required a couple of top-ups in regular pit-stops, but it otherwise ran faultlessly all day.
Having started from pole position for Class F we were competing in Stokell also set the fastest lap times of the Fiats, at 2:31.4393.
We'll also be providing a full race report and a behind the scenes insight into our weekend at Bathurst.

For their part, U.S. officials fear that Japan�s stonewalling may be a reflection of real disarray in the Obuchi government. If the trend continues, then Japan cannot expect Washington�s spirit of camaraderie to last for long.
Rising Shun
Given that Japan�s economy is sinking further into recession each day and the world�s top economists are clamoring for a rescue, and given that American officials, after long criticizing the Japanese government�s inaction, have lately been trying to be conciliatory and quietly helpful, you might have thought that last weekend�s bank-rescue agreement between Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi and the opposition would immediately encourage better relations with Washington. Wrong. Ever since an unproductive meeting between Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Japanese finance minister Kiichi Miyazawa in San Francisco on Sept. 5, Miyazawa�s office has dodged attempts to set further discussions with U.S. officials. And last Friday, on the eve of Obuchi�s summit with Bill Clinton, his chief cabinet secretary abruptly canceled a meeting with U.S. Ambassador Thomas Foley in Tokyo. The cancellation may have been partly in response to what Tokyo sees as a rather flaccid American response to North Korea�s launch of a missile over Japan two weeks ago.

Student Support & Transition
Student Progress and Welfare – Who Does what?
Learning Tutors
These are the staff our students see every morning. They take registers, check uniform and equipment and ensure our students are well prepared to start their day of learning.
The Learning tutors follow a weekly Tutor Activity program which includes reading, current affairs issues, attendance and progress checks and a half termly tutor challenge. This half term, the tutor challenge is based on charity work.
Year Managers
The key role of our year managers is to support our students in their behaviour, attendance and welfare. They do not have a teaching timetable and are accessible to our students throughout the Academy day. As they stay with their year group from Year 8 through to Year 11 they are experts on these students and as such gain a huge amount of important information on them which in turn allows them to reach their full potential.
Achievement Leaders
Achievement Leaders are responsible of the progress and welfare of all of the students in their year group. They work hand in hand with Year Managers and on at least a half termly basis, they monitor the progress and attainment of every student in their year group. They celebrate success through contact home, certificates and other rewards and where necessary coordinate the involvement of other staff and outside agencies to support learning.
Transition and SEND at Consett Academy
Consett Academy values the importance of positive transitions for all students coming into the Academy, moving through the Academy and ultimately leaving the Academy. The Academy works closely with all local feeder primary schools delivering a wide range of transition events for years 4, 5 and 6.
Additional and different year 6 transition programmes run throughout the summer term of year 6 aimed at reducing stress and anxiety for specific, identified students. Parents are encouraged to make an appointment to come and visit the Academy, meet key staff and discuss transition and support.
Similarly students are encouraged to consider their future throughout all key stages, working closely with Academy staff and outside agencies to ensure students, parents and receiving schools, colleges and universities are fully prepared for the move.
• To help students develop new friendships and in doing this, building their self-esteem and confidence.
• To help student settle straight into the Academy so that parents are significantly less worried or anxious about this major change.
• For students to show an increased interest in school and school work by providing a broad and balanced curriculum that meets each individual needs
• To introduce students EARLY to new routines and so that they pick them up with ease once at the Academy.
The Programme
Date Event
Wednesday 23rd & Thursday 24th September 2015 Year 6 Parent Information Evening
Thursday 18th June 2015 Year 6 Parent Information Evening
Monday 20th June 2016 Year 6 Induction Day
Thursday 23rd June 2016 Year 6 Parent Information Evening
*In addition to the Year 6 induction day, the SEN department organise bespoke taster days for students who are particularly anxious about the move into the Academy, this is co-ordinated by Sara Ebbing (Head of Learning Support).
Settling in - We place a high priority on ensuring our new Year 7 students have the best start possible by ensuring we place students in the correct Learning Tutor Groups so that they are with familiar friends yet, have the opportunity to make new friends with students who have similar interests.
In order to effectively do this, the Academy Transition Team spend time visiting each Primary School and meet with the Year 6 teacher to discuss the needs, likes and dislikes of each individual student.
We also ask students and parents to complete a short questionnaire about themselves which is used to generate an individual profile for each student. This information aids in the grouping process and assists us in ensuring a secure and happy start for each student at the beginning and throughout their time at Consett Academy.
The extras
Summer School - Over the summer, the Academy welcomes all students who will be joining us in Year 7, to attend our Summer School. Summer School is a fun, enriching and exciting week where students can re-familiarise themselves with the campus and its surroundings, make new friends ahead of the term beginning and form relationships with members of staff in a less formal setting.
Team building Residential- In the Autumn term, the Academy subsidises a residential trip to an outward bound centre where students can consolidate new friendships, work together to overcome fears and solve problems in teams whilst having fun in the outdoors. (Photos taken on the trip can be viewed in the gallery section)
Sporting Events- Members of the PE department organise a series of sporting events throughout the year which encourage students from as young as Year 1 to attend the Academy to participate in competitive and non-competitive sporting events. These events are supported by students from the Academy who have gained their Young Leaders qualifications.
What do the students think?
"At the weekend Year 7's went to Kingswood near Hexham.Kingswood is an outdoor activity centre. We were sorted into the groups and dormitories.
"We only stayed for one night but we did loads of activities in that time - we got to go on a zip line, quad bike, 3G swing, Jacobs Ladder (which is a giant ladder). We were exhausted when we got back - but it was awesome." (Callum, Year 7)
" I enjoyed my transition events because we were able to explore the new school" (Lauren Mitcheson, Y7)
" I enjoyed my transition events because I made lots of new friends and I was worried about not knowing anyone at first. I especially enjoyed my science day when we got to hold real fire" (Mark Vinton and Tarran Vickers, Year 7)
"I enjoyed summer school because I got to meet my new teachers"(Joseph Carruthers, Year 7
" I enjoyed summer school because the activites were fun and we got to know other people really well" ( Morgan Richardson, Year 7)
" I enjoyed visiting the Academy when I was in Year 6, especially when we came to do CDT. This is my favourite subject as I had not been able to make things with wood before" (Katie Lewins, Year 7)
SEN Provision
Consett Academy serves to meet the needs of all students.
We currently work with students with a wide variety of needs including those with:
- Cognition and Learning Needs
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties
- Communication and Interaction Needs
- Sensory and/or Physical Needs
Pupil assessment is on-going and vital in the support and development of our students, informing practice and provision. Additional to subject assessment all students are assessed for basic literacy and cognition levels at the beginning of year 7. All assessments can be used as an initial referral to the SEND team.
Consett Academy applies the 'Assess, Plan, Do & Review' process for all students with identified concerns or needs. It is important that this process is done hand in hand with pupils, family and other external agents or professionals, where the young person is central to the process.
Consett Academy places responsibility for effective teaching and learning of all Academy students, including SEND, firmly with the classroom teacher, reflecting the principle that SEND is a whole Academy issue.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- An Egyptian government spokesman said peace should prevail but riot police in Alexandria fired tear gas at demonstrators ahead of voting for a new constitution.
The Egyptian government said most voters who took part in a national referendum last weekend supported the new draft constitution. Voting in Cairo, Alexandria and eight other provinces was conducted last weekend. More voting is scheduled for Saturday.
Some political movements in Egypt and U.N. officials have expressed concern about the influence of Islamic law and the rights afforded to some members of society in the proposed constitution.
Clashes between opposition supporters and Islamic backers broke out Friday at a mosque in Alexandria. Tear gas was fired on protesters, though Egyptian news agency al-Ahram reports the situation was under control following mid-day prayers.
The report added that Islamic supporters blamed opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei in part for stoking unrest.
Yasser Ali, a spokesman for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, said the administration was "open to dialogue" on the constitution regardless of the outcome of the vote.
"We are all aware of the rules of democracy, the most important of which is the peaceful transfer of power," he was quoted as saying. "Dialogue is the only solution for those who want a democracy."

Last month, Selena Gomez checked into The Meadows rehab in Arizona for two weeks of treatment, her representative confirmed.
"Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," her rep told RadarOnline.
Sources close to the singer admitted her relationship with Justin Bieber caused her emotional stress and led her to a path she felt unhappy traveling. Allegedly, the "Come and Get It" singer was partying with ex-boyfriend Bieber, smoking marijuana and taking prescription drugs.
Gomez attended the Dawn program at the facility, which focuses on young adults ages 18 to 26 who are struggling with emotional trauma, addiction or dual diagnosis concerns.
Gomez completed two weeks of the 45-day program but continues to work with the facility on an outpatient basis.

Jim, what did Download Statusbar do when it was functioning properly? I'm just curious, since I had never heard of it.
Now the older one without the unknown sponsor thingie (0.9.8 ) is featured as the version to download.
Download Statusbar no longer hosted here.
The more striking part of the problem is how this version made it through mozilla's review.
"Open downloads in a new tab" is alright too. I just don't like window overload.

Why is Cristian in a different shirt than last night? Is there something that he is hiding?
Hi all, I am always reading to see what is happening - since I am on the west coast. I rarely participate but tonight I am really excited to find out what happened to Cristian. I was there last night and I could see it happen.
They haven't said anything yet. I'm wondering if it's because he's supposed to be eliminated tonight anyway.Originally Posted by toads2u;2958863;

I am glad that I'm not the only one who noticed Tony's teeth are way too white, it's almost comical, I mean we all want white teeth but not so much that you need sunglasses when he smiles
Kenny Jerry and Len make a good team, LOL!!!
have they even said who was in the "bottom 2" yet...heck I don't mind...show us a hour of Def ...and just give us the results in the last minute or soOriginally Posted by whitecat;2958867;
That was a little weird with Samantha literally yelling "GIVE IT UP FOR DEF LEPPARD!!" Yikes woman, lol! I mean with that hair tonight she looks like "craz-aay woman".
It is amazing how much better it is in person. They film it so the couples look so small on camera and cut away so much. The dance floor is not that big. My view was blocked some of the time but it was really fun.
I'm so envious, I'd love to see it live. Good for you getting to go!Originally Posted by toads2u;2958878;
Toads2U, I'm always surprised when I see a TV show taped at how much bigger it looks onscreen. Camera tricks! Glad you enjoyed the show, DWTS has to be a hard ticket to come by. How many spectators does the studio hold, would you guess?
Why does Tom keep saying the the fate of the dancers has been changing throughout the day? Wouldn't Christian have found out last night from the medical personel at the hospital whether he was OK to dance next week?
Edyta sure looks nervous for some reason while waiting to find out who is eliminated.

Revival of Folk Club will strike a chord with regulars
One of the nice things about this year's festival is how it's reaching into the cupboard for some of its greatest hits, dusting them down, and putting them on the turntable for its 50th birthday party.
Few events were more popular than the Guinness Folk and Jazz Club, which hundreds of regulars attended each year.
It started in 1972, and six years later transformed into the Harp Folk Club at Queen's Old Library. There it remained until — after almost 500 performances — musicians began to complain of frostbite. So they upped sticks to the Senior Common Room, where they stayed, cosy and content, until the venue closed in 2004. And that was that — or was it?
Folk Club may have gone, but it's never been forgotten by those who were there. And so this year, organisers have decided on a reunion — the opportunity to meet old friends and hear old tunes.
There'll be many familiar faces in the audience — and many on stage, too.
Among those striking a chord will be Galway singer Sean Keane, mandolin player Fergus Feely and guitarist Pat Coyne. And no festival folk club would be worth its salt without Nollaig Casey and Arty McGlynn to get the toes tapping.
During the night — and what a night it's going to be, a bit like flicking through an old photograph album, only with sound — there'll be another blast from the past in the shape of Belfast singer Gerry Creen, who is still going strong after 30 years.
And Rousli will be tuning up too — featuring Paul Evans, Hugh Fearon and Norman Coates, who used to have Folk Club audiences roaring for more during the 1980s.
Folk Club wouldn't be Folk Club without Frank and Jane Cassidy reviving some old favourites, either. Compere for the evening is Colum Sands, who'll keep everyone in tune and on time.
Like all good birthday parties, this will be an evening for fun and fond memories, with a little hint of what's ahead. While you're enjoying the music, raise a glass to my old colleague and former Belfast Telegraph arts correspondent, the late Neil Johnston, who won't be there to sing along. He was a lifelong member and champion of the club, and a bit of a festival folk hero himself.

Designing your own garage is now a dream come true since you can easily avail of garage building plans out in the market at less cost, effort and time. For instance, there are plans for a dry parking spot, a tool shed or a rehearsal space. These garage plans come with special software so that you can make your own modifications or alterations on the computer to suit your taste as well as your budget.
Designs and skills for a do it yourself garage
In practically designing and building your own garage, a little planning and some physical labor is required. Kits for do it yourself garage buildings are complete with data on the foundation and tools needed, construction tips and customer care. They also include some other details such as supplier lists for your needed materials and manufacturing instructions on how to assemble the parts.
Video instructions prove to be most helpful for beginners, as garage building is not a small project. If your proposed garage measures more than 110 sq. ft., you need to secure structure approval from your municipality by submitting detailed drawings for zoning purposes.
Equipped with the proper tools, coupled with the skill, patience and drive, you may now embark on your garage-building task. Giving yourself a timetable for the project through proper work organization may lessen construction time.
Essential details in garage building
Basically, homeowners can completely rely on the do it yourself garage kits for a successful project because of the user-friendly instruction guides that come with them. However, manufacturers also offer extended service like phone call or e-mail assistance. On the part of the homeowner, obtaining the required building approval from the municipality should the garage exceed 100 sq. feet is the most important thing.

QuestionPosted in Credit Scores

The application would require a hard pull on my credit. Also, I'm not sure how the average age of history is calculated exactly so I don't know if opening a new account like this would drastically reduce the "average" age of my accounts (I'm 28 so it's not like I have decades of history).
In the long run, I'm assuming it would positively impact my score because my utilization would decrease since I do not plan on using this line of credit.
I'd love to hear any advice or input on this as I'm really struggling to find information to make the right decision. Thanks!

hard pull vs credit utilization
a hard pull affects the credit for a year. It's usually just a couple points, but applying for a student loan dropped my credit score by 20pts, so it varies. It will also reduce the average of accounts, usually not by much. If it helps keep your utilization under 30%, it could be really helpful overall, though. It's up to you, if your utilaztion % is not that bad, it'll probably just do more harm than good.

When the going gets tough for religious leaders does their belief ever falter? five alumni share how they keep their faith alive.
by Tracy Thomson Teare ´88
The expectation that religious leaders never lose their faith can be a burden in itself. Episcopal priest Barbara Cheney ´63 learned this firsthand when her mother was drowned in the Connecticut floods in 1982. "I was assumed to have my faith all together, but I was really a shocked, deeply grieving child," she recalls. In the face of this challenge, however, Cheney says she found comfort in the idea that "God is a God of life and love." Cheney also took solace in the scores who attended her mother´s funeral. "I felt as if [my mother] was within me, wanting to speak to them, to give them hope, to help them live. … It was those people, making so present the love and respect they had for my mother, and their own sense of loss, who helped make real again for me my own faith in God´s love for us all."
Even without a seismic trigger, the challenges of maintaining faith can be ongoing. "My faith is tested every day," says Mother Augusta Collins ´73, who, like all nuns at the Abbey of Regina Laudis, is cloistered. "What has brought me through and helped me keep my faith alive is love — for those who have been there for me, those who depend on me, and those with me in struggle." Asking who the struggle is for and who you love can make all the difference, she says. "It´s the ´who,´ not the ´what´ that pulls you through and lets the light back in. In those moments, you see the face of Christ in someone you love."
Matthew Stanten ´90, founder of River Ridge Church in West Virginia, is a self-described skeptic. "I am constantly examining and re-affirming my faith," says the evangelical pastor. But instead of leaving his congregation in doubt, he creates dialogue. "I talk about the tough issues instead of glossing over them." Take the contradiction between the idea that God is loving, yet people suffer. "It might be easy to say God loves us all and move on." But Stanten puts the big issues on the table. "Wrestling with this disconnect makes faith authentic and relevant to life today." Stanten says that his congregation appreciates his honesty.
At River Ridge church, it may be the contemporary environment — an automotive-themed space for teens called The Garage, with Starbucks coffee and a casual dress code — that helps bring about this relevance. Conversely, Mother Lucia Kuppens ´73 recognizes the importance of looking back. Way back.
"There´s more focus now on the individual experience, on the need for spirituality more than religion per se," she says, pointing to a revived interest in monastic traditions like the Gregorian chant as evidence. "Going more deeply into the ancient roots of our tradition is one way we respond to spiritual longing."
Having ancient roots can also be problematic, says Rabbi Barras, when different sects of your religion see them in different ways. Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews have different beliefs about the formation of Jewish law, or halakha. These views direct how loosely Jewish law can be interpreted and how strictly the traditions that flow from it are followed. "I´m a rabbi in the most liberal type of congregation, and I wonder if there´s enough tradition and adherence to Jewish law," he explains. "For me, there is a deep theological tension vis-à-vis how I can remain a liberal Jew and still place great credence in the halakha."
Sometimes it´s not faith in God, but faith in our fellow citizens that falters, says Collins. "My faith in God provides for death, disappointment, destruction ... but when a person I trust walks away from a relationship, or there seems to be no way through a conflict, I can find it very hard to keep my bearings, to keep moving with joy," says the nun. She relies on strategies that are accessible to all of us — devout or not. "I look to someone who does have faith, who can maintain buoyancy despite the circumstances, and I try to maintain the same type of buoyancy for others," she explains. And she turns to nature. "There I see that capacity to be renewed and to change. The sun comes up every day. The weather can change from cold, damp rain to a sun-filled breezy morning. I know I can find that in myself if I dig a little deeper and I am willing."l
Matthew Stanten ´90
Pastor and founder, River Ridge Church, Charleston, W. Va.
Stanten´s spirituality was sparked in high school by Young Life, a Christian outreach program for teens. At Connecticut College, he led the College´s chapter of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and helped start a progressive church in Stonington, Conn. Following graduation, Stanten spent five years launching Young Life programs in Ohio and West Virginia. He and his wife started River Ridge Church in 2002, which has grown from 20 worshippers to 450. "God has put a heart in me for starting things," he says.
Rabbi Jeremy Barras ´97
Associate Rabbi, Temple Beth El, Charlotte, N. C.
During junior year abroad at Tel Aviv University, Barras attended the rally in downtown Tel Aviv at which Prime Minister Itzhak Rabin was assassinated. "His impact on people and all he had done for Jewish people made me really examine how my life could have significance." Though faith had always been an important part of Barras´ life, he decided to make it his profession. Roger Brooks, Elie Wiesel Professor of Judaic Studies, helped Barras prepare for rabbinical school at Hebrew Union College. Now an associate rabbi at Temple Beth El, the largest synagogue in the Carolinas, Barras will become senior rabbi at Temple Beth El in Fort Myers, Fla., this summer.
Barbara Cheney ´63
Rector/Episcopal Priest
Episcopal Church of St. Paul & St. James, New Haven, Conn.
For this lifelong Episcopalian, the call of God was always there; the question was how to follow it when she felt the presence of Jesus inviting her to deepen her faith and pursue a leadership role in the church. The church adopted a policy allowing women to be ordained just before she attended Virginia Theological Seminary. She held two positions in Michigan before returning to Connecticut in 1993.
Mother Augusta Collins ´73
Order of Saint Benedict, The Abbey of Regina Laudis, Bethlehem, Conn.
As an undergraduate at CC during the tumultuous late ´60s and early ´70s, Collins — like many young adults — searched for deeper meaning and truth. Though raised Catholic, she didn´t find it easy to picture herself — an active young woman who loved sports — as a nun, yet she was drawn to the cloistered life at the abbey. "The aliveness and beauty of the community and the sense of dedication to a life of faith in love spoke to me more than the arguments against the preposterousness of trying to live such a life." With a newly earned doctorate in agronomy from UConn, she helps operate the Abbey´s 400-acre dairy and beef farm and orchard.
Mother Lucia Kuppens ´73
Order of Saint Benedict, The Abbey of Regina Laudis, Bethlehem, Conn.
Kuppens was a freshman at CC when she first visited Regina Laudis. She was particularly struck by the abbey´s strong sense of community and 1,500 years of tradition. "Regina Laudis had something solid and deep," she says. "Its members radiated a joy that was increasingly hard to come by as the experiments of the ´60s began to fade, and idealism turned to cynicism." With a doctorate in English, she serves as the abbey librarian, heads up the kitchen, and helps produce best-selling recordings of the Gregorian chants that help support the abbey. The nuns´ fourth CD, "Announcement of Christmas," was recorded this spring.

1985 Coto de Imaz Gran Reserva, DOCa Rioja
Second wine of the night, and clearly the most spectacular wine I've drank this year. Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to drink a lot of old wines, and this release was one I was going to buy, regardless of price. From the same producer as the last wine, the 2004 Coto de Imaz. The only difference (besides vintage) was that this wine was a Gran Reserva, implying a longer aging period, both in oak barrel and in the bottle, before the wine was released.
With these older wines, you have to temper your expectations. I wanted really hard to just fall in love, but I had to remind myself that this wine was a year older than I was. Thankfully, there was no need for any trepidation - the wine was spectacular. Shows a very mature colour, all brick red, amber edges, deep orange/red at the core. Holds onto its saturation very well - still showing colour at the rim. The bouquet was stunning. My goodness. Showing a lot of stewed strawberries, very pure, gently aromatic and very mature. The minerality, the narrative connecting this wine with the 2004, underlines the still intense fruit. Focus remains. I'm not going to by hyperbolic and say how young the wine was on the nose. This was clearly a mature wine, clearly one over 20 years. What was so fascinating was its intensity, its focus. A grand old man with all his faculties of mind and body intact, but showing the wear of his years.
Very harmonious on the palate, elegant, showing the fruit aromas - stewed strawberries, plums, red berries. Very balanced, showing how special wine can be when all its elements integrate perfectly. Acidity rides high on the finish, leaving the faint impression of very fine tannins. Extraordinarily long, spice-filled finish. Yes, the wine is old, but still has lots of fight and vigour left. Easily can go for another 10 years.
The wine held up well over the 2 days we drank it. Remains focused - many of these older wines begin breaking apart with air. And with pan-seared steak...wow. Delicious all the way, the acidity perfectly cutting the fat, the flavours just melding and creating a symphony of lights on the palate.
A grand example of how important a wine classically-made Rioja is.DF

Chaperone Safety for Your Children this Valentine'sWe've all been there. All of a sudden eyes connect across gym class or hands touch as notes are passed along that causes a slow blush to creep up onto our cheeks. And all of a sudden we fall in love. Well, that�s what it feels like anyway at such a young tender age.
Young love is a sweet thing, but that doesn�t mean it�s any easier as an adult. While parents always want to see their children happy, they also want to make sure that they are safe.
Now that Valentine's Day is just around the corner there may be an increase in the number of requests from your children to go out with their one true love on this special day. And, however sweet this may be, it is important to remember the threats that linger outside the safety of your home.
Albeit, the young lovers date won�t be doing anything more than a shy cinema date as they enjoy their shared popcorn, unknown threats may be waiting to take advantage of those who have their head up in the clouds away from what�s happening in reality.
So, instead of sending your child off on their innocent date, you should consider these following tips to ensure the safety of your child while also allowing them the freedom to have fun.
• Be a Chaperone. The ideal way of ensuring that your child and their date are safe is by acting as a chaperone. Get a friend or your other half to come alone too, so you can enjoy Valentine�s Day as well. During the date, it can be taken for granted that while the young lovers won't want you near them on their date, simply being close by will give you the peace of mind that they are safe no matter what.
• Act as a Chauffeur. There are too many cases in today's society where children are being snatched off streets and put into cars and taken away from the life that they know. But, by acting as a chauffeur you can avoid these possibilities by ensuring that they arrive safely to their date destination while also having a form of transportation that will get them safely back home.
• Be the Lookout. Of course, during the date maintaining your distance will be extremely appreciated. However, that�s not to say that you shouldn�t still be looking out for them. While they may like the idea of them being able to do their own thing on Valentine�s Day, which will give them a sense of being grown up, they will also be glad to have you in the background just in case something does go wrong during the night. Your role is to be on the lookout for any potential predators who may think the youngsters are by themselves and will be easy prey when the right moment presents itself.
• Have Fun. Even though you are there to make sure your child and their date are safe you should also make sure you have fun as well. After all, it is Valentine�s Day and the perfect time for many to show their appreciation of their loved ones.

SAN DIEGO – A federal judge said Friday he's sticking to his ruling ordering a new criminal trial for San Diego Gas & Electric Co. and two workers convicted of violating asbestos safety standards.
Prosecutors had asked U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw to reconsider his ruling last month ordering a new trial for the utility and David Williamson, an SDG&E environmental specialist, and Kyle Rheubottom, a contractor who worked for the company on a project to remove asbestos from a Lemon Grove site more than seven years ago.
SDG&E was convicted in July of three counts of improperly removing asbestos and one count of making a false statement. The two workers were each convicted of one count of improperly disposing of asbestos.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Melanie Pierson said she will decide within 20 days whether to appeal the ruling. A hearing was set for Feb. 22 to check on the status of the case.

Debt, Boom, Bust: A Theory of Minsky-Veblen Cycles
This paper reflects on the development leading to the recent crisis and interprets this development as a series of events within a Minsky-Veblen Cycle. To illustrate this claim we introduce conspicuous consumption concerns, as described by Veblen, into a stock flow consistent Post Keynesian model and demonstrate that, under these conditions, a decrease in income equality leads to a corresponding increase in debt-financed consumption demand. Here Minskyian dynamics come into play: increased credit demand leads to a corresponding rise in credit supply, which, eventually, gives rise to a debt-financed consumption boom. As the solvency of households decreases and interest rates move up, banks reduce lending, triggering household bankruptcies and, finally, a recession. What follows is a stable period of consolidation, where past debts are repaid, financial stability is regained and conspicuous consumption motives may gradually take over again. We illustrate this approach to the current crisis and its explanatory validity by extending our stock-flow consistent model into a dynamic simulation.

USD/CHF (a 4 hour chart)
General overview
The U.S. currency continued to weaken waiting the data that can show the goods orders index weakening in a long-term and the slowdown in sales in the U.S primary housing market. According to a statement released the other day SNB Swiss franc was overvalued in May by 12%. The assessment was made against a basket of currencies of 40 trading partners. In April figure was 12.5% overvalued.
The price is finding the first support at 0.8920, the next one is at 0.8890. The price is finding the first resistance at 0.8950, the next one is at 0.9000. The price is under the Cloud and under Chinkou-Span, that's a weak and confirmed sell signal. The downward movement remains until Kijun-Sen is above the price. MACD is in the negative territory.
Trading recommendations
We suppose the pair will go to 0.8920 first. Having overcome the first target the price might go down to 0.8880.

BELMONT (KCBS) — The collapse of Solyndra, which went under despite a half-billion dollar federal loan, isn't deterring California politicians from embracing solar power companies.
A new player joined the Golden State's solar market Monday, with Governor Jerry Brown on hand.
SunEdison is moving its corporate headquarters from Maryland to Belmont, a stone's throw from Oracle's headquarters in neighboring Redwood Shores. Governor Brown helped the company dedicate its new building, welcoming a large, well-capitalized solar panel and installation company to the market.
"We're going to invest in solar and make California not only the national leader, which it already is," he said. "We're going to make it the world leader."
KCBS' Doug Sovern Reports:
The governor said California's sunny climate gives the state a natural edge in the field. It started raining soon after he made that remark.
SunEdison got some government help moving here, with a bill clarifying the tax break customers get for going solar, but Governor Brown said this is not another Solyndra in the making.
"There's a certain Darwinian struggle and some make it and some don't," he said.
Officials at SunEdison say this will bring as many as 500 jobs to the Peninsula.

Manning's Comeback Journey Will Go Through Hawaii
NEW YORK (AP) — After missing all of last season and them moving from Indianapolis to Denver, Peyton Manning is headed back to the Pro Bowl. The veteran quarterback ranks fourth in the league in passing. He's thrown for 34 TDs with just 11 interceptions and is one of five Broncos headed to Honolulu for the Jan. 27 game.
Adrian Peterson's comeback from a major knee injury suffered on Christmas Eve last year earned the Minnesota running back a spot on the roster. Peterson is running away with the NFL rushing title. He's got a career-best 1,898 yards with a game still to play.
Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III also gets a roster spot. Fellow standout rookie quarterbacks Andrew Luck, the No. 1 overall draft pick ahead of Griffin, and Seattle's Russell Wilson didn't make it.
San Francisco had the most player selected with nine, while Houston was next with eight.

NCC begins plant expansion
Northern Cement Corp,., which is 35-percent owned by conglomerate San Miguel Corp., held ground breaking ceremonies for its $200-million expansion project in Pangasinan province.
San Miguel said in a statement over the weekend the expansion was based on growing demand for cement products in Northern Luzon as well as across all population centers in the Philippines.
The expansion project will double NCC's annual capacity to over two million tons.
"The economy and infrastructure sector are growing rapidly and by expanding NCC, we are supporting the development efforts of the Philippine government and reducing dependence on imported cement," San Miguel president and chief operating officer Ramon Ang said.
San Miguel in 2013, through packaging unit San Miguel Yamamura Corp., acquired a 35-percent interest in NCC, which is controlled by San Miguel chairman Eduardo Cojuango Jr., for P3 billion to finance the expansion of the company.
Established in 1968, NCC is one of the pioneers in the local cement industry. Its main plant is located in Sison, Pangasinan.
With the entry of the San Miguel group as an equity shareholder in 2012, NCC has since completed a modernization program, acquiring the latest manufacturing technologies for its existing lines.
Last week, Ang announced San Miguel and Eagle Cement Corp. were investing $1 billion to build five new cement plants in the country that would boost combined capacity to 16 million metric tons by 2017.
Eagle Cement in a private cement firm owned by Ang.
Ang said the conglomerate was building a 2-million metric ton cement plant in Pangasinan under Northern Cement, while Eagle Cement was constructing a 2-million MT plant each in Bulacan, Quezon province, Cebu and Davao.
Ang said NCC and Eagle Cement were expanding existing cement capacities amid strong demand from private and public infrastructure spending.
He said the company would continue to bid for infrastructure projects that the government might bid out under the Public-Private Participation scheme.
San Miguel's existing infrastructure projects include the Naia Expressway project, a connector road and MRT Line 7.
The conglomerate is also bidding for the bundled airport project, the P50-billion regional prison facilities, the P170-billion North-South Railway and the P18-billion Davao Sasa Wharf.

As part of the Sheridan County Comprehensive Plan, the County hired a consulting firm in the fall of 2009 to conduct a mapping project of the riparian areas of Sheridan County. The results of that study were presented to county officials at a meeting Tuesday at the Fulmer Library.
That's Sheridan County Planner Mark Reid, who explains that regulation of riparian areas within the county will need to go through the proper channels before being implemented.
One aspect of the consultants study focused on the importance of taking a proactive approach to preserving the natural scenic resources within Sheridan County. Reid said that staying ahead of the curve on preservation of riparian areas will save the county from unneeded expenses in the future.

CALGARY - It was eight years ago Calgary's John Kucera took the ski-racing world by storm, becoming the first Canadian to win at Lake Louise.
He was only 21.
Three years later, he blazed a new trail by becoming the first Canadian to win a World Championship downhill title with a triumph at storied Val D'Isere, France, in 2009.
Then came the injuries.
A badly broken leg just before the '10 Olympics in Vancouver essentially set him back three years before an inner-ear condition producing concussion-like symptoms cost him any chance at an Olympic comeback in Sochi.
On Thursday, he announced his retirement.
"Who would have thought the thing that would take me out was waking up dizzy one morning," laughed the 29-year-old speedster who leaves the sport with a coaching job and an incredibly healthy attitude.
