How to Boost Your Child's Bones for Lifelong Health
Children's bones keep growing throughout childhood. They grow fastest of all very early in life and when children go through puberty.
The bones keep getting denser until they reach what's known as "peak bone mass". This usually happens between the ages of 18 and 25.
The denser your child's bones are at the time of peak bone mass, the greater their reserves of bone to protect against the fragile bone disease osteoporosis later in life.
"The reserve of bone you establish during childhood and the teenage years is with you through early adulthood," explains Dr Paul Arundel, a consultant in paediatric metabolic bone disease at Sheffield Children's Hospital. "We all start to lose bone mass later in life. If you are starting from a low baseline you are more likely to develop osteoporosis sooner."
The good news is that you can protect your child's bone health with some simple lifestyle measures.
Your Child's Bone-friendly Diet
Building strong bones in childhood requires a range of vitamins and minerals. A healthy, balanced diet will provide this. That means a diet that includes:
- fruit and vegetables – at least five portions every day (but no more than one 150ml – *about 5 oz – glass of fruit juice)
- carbohydrates – such as potatoes, pasta, rice and bread (preferably wholegrain)
- protein – such as meat, fish, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds
- dairy products – such as milk, cheese and yoghurts
There are a couple of nutrients that are particularly important for building strong healthy bones.
Calcium for Healthy Bones
Our bodies contain about 1kg (*about 2.2 lbs) of calcium. About 99% of this is found in our bones and teeth – it's what makes them strong and hard. Most of this calcium is laid down during childhood and the teenage years.
Calcium is particularly vital during puberty when the bones grow quicker than at any other time. Puberty takes place over a number of years, typically sometime between 11 to 15 for girls and 12 to 16 for boys.
The recommended calcium intake for children and young people aged from 11 to 18 is 800-1,000mg compared with 700mg for adults. But research shows that, on average, children and young people in this age group don't get enough.
"Teens need more calcium because they're growing," says Dr Arundel. "People don't think about bone health in teenagers as much as they do with toddlers, but teenagers are growing a lot more."
Foods that contain lots of calcium include dairy foods such as milk, cheese and yoghurt, but also tinned sardines (with the bones in), green, leafy vegetables (but not spinach), peas, dried figs, nuts, seeds and anything that's fortified with calcium, including some soya milks.
Vitamin D for Kids' Bone Health
Vitamin D is important for bones because it helps our bodies to absorb calcium.
Our main source of vitamin D is sunlight. Vitamin D is made by our skin when it's exposed to sunlight during the summer months (late March/April to the end of September).
There are only a few foods that are a good source of vitamin D. These include oily fish, eggs and foods that have been fortified with vitamin D, such as fat spreads and some breakfast cereals. Read Food for strong bones.
To ensure they get enough vitamin D, the following groups should take daily vitamin D supplements, to make sure they get enough (*US recommendations are similar – click here):
- All babies from birth to one year of age (including breastfed babies and formula fed babies who have less than 500ml a day of infant formula)
- All children aged one to four years old
Everyone over the age of five years is advised to consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin D.
But most people aged five years and above will probably get enough vitamin D from sunlight in the summer (late March/early April to the end of September), so you might choose not to take a vitamin D supplement during these months.
It's important never to let your child's skin go red or start to burn. Babies under six months should never go in direct sunlight. Find out how to get vitamin D from sunlight safely.
Find out more about who should take vitamin D supplements and how much to take.
If you receive benefits, you may be eligible for free Healthy Start vitamins, which contain vitamin D. Your health visitor can tell you more, or you can visit the Healthy Start website.
Bone-strengthening Exercises for Children
Daily physical activity is important for children's health and development, including their bone health.
Try not to let your child be sedentary for long periods. You can do this by reducing the amount of time they spend sitting down, for example, watching TV or playing video games.
Children under five who aren't yet walking should be encouraged to play actively on the floor. Children who can walk on their own should be physically active daily for at least 180 minutes (three hours) spread throughout the day. This should include some bone-strengthening activities, such as climbing and jumping.
Children aged five to 18 need at least 60 minutes (one hour) of physical activity every day, which should include moderate-intensity activity, such as cycling and playground games.
To strengthen muscles and bones, vigorous-intensity activities should be included at least three times a week. This could be swinging on playground equipment, sports such as gymnastics or tennis, or hopping and skipping.
See 10 ways to get active with your kids.
Eating Disorders and Bone Health
Eating disorders affect people of all ages, both male and female. But girls and women are more likely to be affected and anorexia most commonly develops in the teenage years.
The bones are still growing and strengthening at this time and eating disorders like anorexia can affect their development. Low body weight can lower oestrogen levels, which may reduce bone density. Poor nutrition and reduced muscle strength caused by eating disorders can also lower bone density.
If your teenage child has anorexia or another eating disorder, it's important to seek medical advice about their bone health.

How to Avoid Your Child's Advertising-Fueled Nag Factor
I'll admit it—the first brand name my son recognized was Starbucks. This probably says something about the coffee habits in our family. However, it also says something about the advertising and branded world we live in. At the time of this recognition my son was about 2 or 2.5 years old. It just goes to show how powerful branded messages and advertising are for even the youngest members of our society.
After reading this disturbing article that explained that the 0-3 year old age range is now the prime target for advertisers, I started to delve more into the research on advertising to children.
What I found was not encouraging. It seems clear that advertisers focus a lot of their time and money on ads for food products targeted to kids, most of which are quite unhealthy. A study released by the Kaiser Family Foundation showed that advertising on children's television (aimed at kids under age 12) had the highest proportion of food ads (50% of all ads) compared to all other genres of TV. What types of foods do these ads promote? Much like you might expect, these food ads targeted toward children primarily focus on candy and snacks (34%), cereal (28%), and fast food (10%).
Unfortunately, this type of advertising works. Studies show that children who watch more ads for food products on television are much more likely to prefer unhealthy foods when offered a choice.
So why is this advertising to children so effective? One factor, of course, is the advertisers are smart—they have harnessed the knowledge of psychology and marketing to be able to market products (especially food) to children in just the right way to make it very appealing to little minds.
Additionally, as we all know, children are relatively impressionable. Young children, in particular, have very little power to resist advertising when they see it. They do not yet have the skills to understand the advertisers' persuasive tactics.
Lastly, and perhaps most disturbing, advertisers are aware of and have harnessed the power of "the nag factor." We all know what that means. Kids nag their parents incessantly for products that they've seen advertised, usually on TV. One recent study looked at the "nag factor" and found that kids who are more familiar with commercial television characters are more likely to nag their parents for the products associated with those characters.
For me, one of the most problematic aspects of all this advertising to children is that the advertisers are really trying to indoctrinate kids into the idea that life should be all about purchasing and getting material things.
The good news is that parents are not helpless in this battle with advertisers for their children's minds (and stomachs). Although advertising, particularly related to food items, is very persuasive to children, parents can be quite persuasive too as long as they promote a constant message of healthy food choices.
In a new study just published, several researchers considered the role of parents' messages in the food choices made by children ages 3-5 just after watching advertising for food products. In one part of the study, children watched a commercial for French fries and were then given the option to choose French fries or a healthier food option for a snack. Parents looked on and one group was told to encourage their children to make the healthier choice, while the other group of parents was told to remain neutral about the food choice. When parents remained neutral, 71% of the children chose the French fries over the healthy option. However, when parents encouraged a healthier choice, the percentage of kids choosing French fries dropped to 55%. While this is not a dramatic drop, it does show that parental influence does have power, even in light of direct advertising for unhealthy products.
I think it's unlikely that this type of marketing will end or even slow down, but this research offers encouragement that we as parents can influence good choices by our children, as long as we adhere to a clear, consistent message. It is obvious that advertising has a strong impact on children, so limiting children's exposure to commercials will most likely make your children's choices better in the long run and perhaps your life a little easier as a parent (e.g., less nagging).
Additionally, as children get older, I could see it being helpful to explain to them how advertisers play their game. If kids can understand why and how advertising is so persuasive, they might be more likely to resist it.
With my older son, I have begun explaining how some things we see on TV or the internet are a "trick." The people making the product are trying to "trick" us into spending money on something that is either unhealthy or useless (like a junky toy). I have been reminding him of times when he bought a cheap toy and was bored with it after a day or two. These lessons are starting to sink in but it is an ongoing battle with advertising.
Here are some good resources available for helping kids learn media literacy:
How to Help Your Underweight Teen Boy Get Healthy
You may have friends who are taller, heavier and more muscular than you. We all grow and develop at different rates. Lots of boys don't reach their adult weight until they are over 18.
You can check whether you're a healthy weight by using our healthy weight calculator. If you are underweight, your GP (*pediatrician), practice nurse or school nurse can give you help and advice.
There may be an underlying medical cause for your low weight that needs to be checked out. Gut problems like coeliac disease, for example, can make people lose weight.
Read about other medical problems that can cause unexplained weight loss.
Maybe you're having mental or emotional problems that have affected your eating habits. Depression and anxiety, for example, can both make you lose weight.
Or perhaps you haven't been eating a healthy, balanced diet.
Whatever the situation, if you're concerned about your weight or your diet, the best thing to do is tell someone. There's a lot that can be done to help.
Why Being a Healthy Weight Matters
Being underweight can leave you with no energy and affect your immune system, meaning you could pick up colds and other infections more easily.
If your diet is poor, you may also be missing out on vitamins and minerals you need to grow and develop.
The good news is that, with a little help, you can gradually gain weight until you get to a weight that is healthy for your height and age.
Healthy Diet for Teen Boys
It's important that you gain weight in a healthy way. Try not to go for chocolate, cakes, fizzy drinks and other foods high in fat or sugar. Eating these types of foods too often is likely to increase your body fat, rather than building strong bones and muscles.
Instead, aim to eat three meals and three snacks a day. You should be having:
- Plenty of starchy carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes (choose wholegrain versions or potatoes with their skins on if you can)
- At least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day
- Some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein
- Some milk and dairy food
We all need some fat in our diet, but it's important to keep an eye on the amount and type of fat we're eating. Try to cut down on the amount of saturated fat you eat – that's the fat found in sausages, salami, pies, hard cheese, cream, butter, cakes and biscuits.
Cut down on sugary foods, such as chocolate, sweets, cakes, biscuits and sugary soft drinks.
Strength training can also help to build strong muscles and bones. Find out how to increase your strength and flexibility.
Boost Your Calories
To bump up your energy intake in a healthy way, try these tips:
- Make time for breakfast. Try porridge made with semi-skimmed (*1% or 2% milk) milk and sprinkle some chopped fruit or raisins on top. Or how about eggs on toast with some grilled tomatoes or mushrooms?
- Crumpets, bananas or unsalted nuts all make good snacks.
- A jacket (*baked) potato with baked beans or tuna on top makes a healthy lunch and contains both energy-rich carbohydrates and protein. Adding cheese will provide calcium.
- Try yoghurts and milky puddings, such as rice pudding.
- Have a healthy snack before bed. Cereal with semi-skimmed milk is a good choice (choose a cereal that is lower in sugar), or some toast.
Find out how many calories the average teenager needs.
You should also make sure you get plenty of sleep. About 8 to 10 hours a day is ideal for teenagers. Avoid smoking and alcohol.
Teen Boys and Eating Disorders
Sometimes there can be other issues that stop you from eating a healthy diet.
If you feel anxious when you think about food, or you feel you may be using control over food to help you cope with stress, low self-esteem or a difficult time at home or school, then you may have an eating disorder.
People with eating disorders often say they feel that their eating habits help them keep control of their lives. But that's an illusion: it's not them who are in control, but the eating disorder.
If you feel you may have an eating disorder, help is available.
Tell someone: ideally your parents, guardians or another adult you trust.
The eating disorders charity b-eat has a Youthline, where you can get advice.

How to Help Your Family Eat Healthy in 2017: Processed Foods
Processed foods aren't just microwave meals and other ready meals. The term 'processed food' applies to any food that has been altered from its natural state in some way, either for safety reasons or convenience. This means you may be eating more processed food than you realise.
Processed foods aren't necessarily unhealthy, but anything that's been processed may contain added salt, sugar and fat.
One advantage of cooking food from scratch at home is that you know exactly what is going into it, including the amount of added salt or sugar.
However, even homemade food sometimes uses processed ingredients. Read on to find out how you can eat processed foods as part of a healthy diet.
What Counts as Processed Food?
Most shop-bought foods will have been processed in some way.
Examples of common processed foods include:
- Breakfast cereals
- Cheese
- Tinned vegetables
- Bread
- Savoury snacks, such as crisps (*potato chips)
- Meat products, such as bacon
- "Convenience foods", such as microwave meals or ready meals
- Drinks, such as milk or soft drinks
Food processing techniques include freezing, canning, baking, drying and pasteurising products.
Dietitian Sian Porter says: "Not all processed food is a bad choice. Some foods need processing to make them safe, such as milk, which needs to be pasteurised to remove harmful bacteria. Other foods need processing to make them suitable for use, such as pressing seeds to make oil.
"Freezing fruit and veg preserves most vitamins, while tinned produce (choose those without added sugar and salt) can mean convenient storage, cooking and choice to eat all year round, with less waste and cost than fresh."
What Makes Some Processed Foods Less Healthy?
Ingredients such as salt, sugar and fat are sometimes added to processed foods to make their flavour more appealing and to prolong their shelf life, or in some cases to contribute to the food's structure, such as salt in bread or sugar in cakes.
This can lead to people eating more than the recommended amounts for these additives, as they may not be aware of how much has been added to the food they are buying and eating. These foods can also be higher in calories due to the high amounts of added sugar or fat in them.
Furthermore, a diet high in red and processed meat (regularly eating more than 90g a day) has also been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer. Some studies have also shown that eating a large amount of processed meat may be linked to a higher risk of cancer or heart disease.
What is Processed Meat?
Processed meat refers to meat that has been preserved by smoking, curing, salting or adding preservatives. This includes sausages, bacon, ham, salami and pâtés.
The (*UK) Department of Health recommends that if you currently eat more than 90g (cooked weight) of red and processed meat a day, that you cut down to 70g a day. This is equivalent to two or three rashers (*strips) of bacon, or a little over two slices of roast lamb, beef or pork, with each about the size of half a slice of bread.
However, it's important to remember that the term "processed" applies to a very broad range of foods, many of which can be eaten as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
How Can My Family Eat Processed Foods as Part of a Healthy Diet?
Reading nutrition labels can help you choose between processed products and keep a check on the amount of processed foods you're eating that are high in fat, salt and added sugars.
Adding tinned tomatoes to your shopping basket, for example, is a great way to boost your 5 a day. They can also be stored for longer and cost less than fresh tomatoes – just check the label to make sure there's no added salt or sugar.
Most pre-packed foods have a nutrition label on the back or side of the packaging.
These labels include information on protein, carbohydrate and fat. They may provide additional information on saturated fat, sugars, sodium and salt. All nutrition information is provided per 100 grams and sometimes per portion.
How Do I Know if a Processed Food is High in Fat, Saturated Fat, Sugar or Salt?
There are guidelines to tell you if a food is high or low in fat, saturated fat, salt or sugar. These are:
Total Fat
High: more than 17.5g of fat per 100g (*rougly half an ounce per 3oz)
Low: 3g of fat or less per 100g (*about a tenth of an ounce per 3oz)
Saturated Fat
High: more than 5g of saturated fat per 100g (*100g is about 3.5oz)
Low: 1.5g of saturated fat or less per 100g
High: more than 22.5g of total sugars per 100g (*a little under 3/4 of an ounce per 3 oz)
Low: 5g of total sugars or less per 100g
High: more than 1.5g of salt per 100g (or 0.6g sodium)
Low: 0.3g of salt or less per 100g (or 0.1g sodium)
For example, if you are trying to cut down on saturated fat, try to limit the amount of foods you eat that have more than 5g of saturated fat per 100g.
If the processed food you want to buy has a nutrition label that uses colour-coding, you will often find a mixture of red, amber and green. So, when you're choosing between similar products, try to go for more greens and ambers, and fewer reds, if you want to make a healthier choice.
However, even healthier ready meals may be higher in fat and other additives than a homemade equivalent. That's not to say that homemade foods can't also be high in calories, fat, salt and sugar, but if you make the meal yourself, you'll have a much better idea of what's gone into it. You could even save yourself some money, too.

Supporting Friends or Relatives with Eating Disorders
If a friend or relative has an eating disorder, such as anorexia, bulimia or binge eating, you might want to encourage them to speak to someone about it. You could go with them for support if they want you to.
But there are other things you can do. You're already doing a great job by finding out how to help them – it shows you care.
You may have noticed your friend has changed. They may no longer go out or want to be included in things.
Keep trying to include them, just like before. Even if they don't join in, they will still like to be asked. It will make them feel valued as a person.
You can also try to build up their self-esteem, perhaps by telling them what a great person they are and how much you appreciate having them as a friend.
Try not to give advice or criticism. Give your time and listen to them. This can be tough when you don't agree with what they say about themselves and what they eat.
Remember, you don't have to know all the answers. Just being there is what's important. This is especially true when it feels like your friend or relative is rejecting your friendship, help and support.
How are eating disorders treated?
Treatment for eating disorders varies around the country. Different types of help may be offered depending on where you live.
Treatment includes dealing with the emotional issues as well as the physical, but this must be done slowly so your friend or relative is able to cope with the changes.
Treatment will involve your friend or relative talking to someone about the emotional difficulties that have led to their eating disorder. It will also explore their physical problems, general health and eating patterns. Help with eating and putting on weight is usually not enough.
The earlier your friend or relative embarks on the treatment programme and the more they engage with it, the better their chances of making a good recovery.
Will they have to go into hospital?
Most people with eating disorders are seen as outpatients. This means they visit the hospital – for example, one day a week. In severe cases, they might need to visit the hospital more often, or be admitted to hospital for more intensive support and treatment (known as inpatient care).
Should I visit them in hospital?
This depends on what your friend wants, how you feel and what the treatment centre allows. Let them know you're thinking of them and would like to visit them. If this is not possible, you can always write to them or call to let them know you're still there to support them.
Can people be forced to get help for eating disorders?
If your friend or relative has lost a lot of weight, they may be in danger of starving themselves and developing serious complications. They may not be able to think clearly and may refuse life-saving treatment.
In these circumstances, their doctor may decide to admit them to hospital for specialist treatment. This can only be done after the doctor has consulted colleagues and they agree with the doctor's decision. This is called being sectioned and it is done under the rules of the Mental Health Act (*in the UK).
Will they be cured when they come home?
Your friend or relative will still need your support. Most people with an eating disorder do recover and learn to use more positive ways of coping.
But recovery from an eating disorder can be very difficult and can take a long time. Part of your friend may want to get better, while the other part might be very scared about giving up the eating disorder. They might think, "I want to get better, but just don't want to gain weight."
They will probably have good days and bad days. During times of stress, the eating difficulties may return. Changing the way people with eating disorders think and feel is never easy and it takes time.
The eating disorders charity beat has a dedicated online space for anyone who is supporting someone with an eating disorder.

OK to Salt a Child's Food? I Disagree
I am a fan of the health and wellness articles in the New York Times (NYT). Their reporting is based on scientific studies and evidence – but the articles are engaging and bring the science down to a more readable level. So, this post is a departure for me, because I disagree with a recent NYT article, by Rachel Rabkin Peachman, on whether it's ok to salt a child's food.
The basic argument of the article is that using a little bit of salt on your child's food isn't going to add that much sodium – especially compared to how much is hidden in processed foods. And that if adding a bit of salt to healthy but bitter foods, like broccoli, gets kids to eat more of these – then it's probably worthwhile.
But I strongly disagree.
So What's the Problem?
First of all, salt intake is MUCH too high in most countries, and this causes serious health issues. In the US, adults and children consume around two to three times more salt than is recommended, most of which is added to foods during processing. The Harvard School of Public Health highlights that these excess salt levels lead to high blood pressure and heart disease – as well as stomach cancer and osteoporosis. Nation-wide salt reduction efforts in the UK, starting in 2003, resulted in a 15% drop in salt consumption and very significant drops in blood pressure, stroke and heart attacks.
And these issues are not just adult concerns. Both the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics say that factors leading to high blood pressure and heart disease begin in childhood. Studies have shown that about 15% of kids already have high blood pressure.
Starting in Childhood is Key
Research shows that most food preferences are developed in childhood and are difficult to shift. I've seen this first-hand through my own research dissertation for my Masters in Public Health. My project involved qualitative focus group interviews with employees of companies who offer a home delivery service for fresh produce as part of their wellness program. The people I met with struggled to eat the recommended levels of fruit and vegetables – even if they wanted to. Many cited that not growing up eating a large amount and variety of produce set habits that are tough to break and limited their knowledge about healthier cooking and eating.
Ms Peachman's article states that children who learn to like bitter vegetables with toppings like salt, will like the veggies even after the salt is taken away. Personally, I VERY much doubt that. The study they cited as evidence didn't use salt, but rather cream cheese – plus another New York times article published in 2011 points out that babies fed higher levels of sodium prefer salty foods when they are older. Again, both the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend taking the salt shaker off the table – and trying to reduce the sodium kids get through processed food. Kids will learn to prefer less salty food. That's advice I believe – and how we operate in our house. Now the whole family generally finds that processed and restaurant foods taste too salty.
What to Do Instead?
So, without adding salt, what CAN you do to help kids learn to like certain healthy vegetables that may not be so appealing at first bite? The AAP recommends using other things to alter or boost taste – like herbs, spices and lemon juice.
We do all those in our house. Pepper always gets put on the table, along with Mrs Dash – a salt-free topping. And I use herbs and spices like basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and cumin. I also brown steamed vegetables, like Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, in a frying pan with a bit of butter or olive oil to add to the taste. Another good option is a little bit of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on veggies – or cooked onions or leeks mixed with veggies like broccoli. See the end of this article for more resources for getting kids to eat veggies.
The point is, there are healthier ways to help kids get used to vegetables – ones that can become lifelong habits without concern.

HeadlessBuddha Samples is the manifestation of Mauro Sanches' love and fascination for tape recorders, vintage and lo-fi microphones and experimental instruments. All of this comes out as these sample libraries.
"Think of our libraries as a body just waiting for a head to make it work properly and create something that leads to some sort of benefit."
In eleven years, Sanches has been accumulating expertise in 'standard' studio sessions along with lots of experimentation with his own cheap/old/DIY/experimental gear.
HeadlessBuddha Samples envisions the possibility of extracting lots of good, interesting, and visionary sounds from anything we have in our hands. Our greatest desire is to bring our uniqueness up to you.
We distribute our sample libraries as low priced as we can and most of our profit goes to buying more gear and recording more stuff for you (and us, as we love the sounds we're getting).
We hope to amuse y'all as much as we are amused when we finish each sample library.

La Perla Response:
Style 904936 could be uncomfortable to this customer because it is a bandeau style and the straps are set off to the side. I would recommend La Perla 904742 New Project T-shirt bra. Since she may be looking for a cotton bra; this style offers a better silhouette.
Liliana from D
La Perla Response:
I am almost certain the problem here is that you are in the wrong size bra. From my years of fitting, anytime a bra fits too tight on top, the cup size is way too small. I would imagine the straps feeling uncomfortable as they are likely digging into the client's shoulders. This is a cotton basic bandeau bra and the first time I'm hearing of it feeling scratchy or awful on. I would suggest trying a different style, such as (La Perla Mis Studio Bra 905057.

TextDown also supports text shortcuts for more efficient writing, and you can specify your own text shortcuts in the Words Shortcuts List text area of the TextDown Options section. Here, you can use the default td text shortcut as a template for your custom entries, for example:
"lxm": "Linux Magazine"
To use the defined text shortcut, type lxm, press Esc, and the editor expands the abbreviation to Linux Magazine.
TextDown offers extensive support for keyboard shortcuts, so you can perform practically every available action using the keyboard: from applying text formatting to saving and exporting text files. The app also features dedicated shortcuts for word and character count, a boon for serious writers. TextDown even sports its own built-in calculator: enter { followed by the equation, press Ctrl + Shift + M, and TextDown replaces the equation with its result.
All in all, TextDown is a capable text editor which can come in useful in many situations -- especially if you use Markdown as your preferred way to format text files. TextDown is open source, and its source code is available for your viewing and forking pleasure at the project's GitHub repository.comments powered by Disqus

CBDB is a progressive rock/jam band formed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, whose stock is rising fast. Fresh off the release of their third album, entitled "The FAME EP", they are seeing a pattern of snowballing momentum with large, energetic crowds hungry for their unique brand of progressive jam-rock, dubbed Joyfunk. CBDB blends soulful vocals and virtuosic instrumentation with smart, tasteful songwriting resulting in a sound that can be enjoyed by the casual listener and audiophile alike. On stage, they parade tight; ambitious compositions that seamlessly give way to loose, adventurous improvisation and have quickly become a must-see act.

Donald Trump, the man whom the National Football League portrays as the mastermind behind the United States Football League`s $1.5 billion antitrust suit against it, testified Monday that NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle dangled an NFL franchise before him and urged him not to file suit.
Trump, the owner of the USFL`s New Jersey Generals, said the offer took place in March, 1984, in a meeting with Rozelle at the Pierre Hotel in New York. That was at a time when Trump was urging USFL owners to move from the spring to the fall, a course they finally adopted five months later.

Beijing, (IANS) A total of 197 people have been 'punished' in a special campaign by police targeting online rumours about China's stock market, the recent fatal explosions in Tianjin or other key events.
The ministry of public security said in a statement on Sunday that 165 online accounts were closed for relevant violations, Xinhua reported.
The statement said people punished in the campaign expressed repentance over their misconduct that have "caused panic, misled the public and resulted in disorders in stock market or society".
It said the people were punished for circulating rumours such as "man jumped to death in Beijing due to stock market slump", "at least 1,300 people were killed in Tianjin blasts" and some seditious rumours about China's upcoming commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Trend Micro still finding threat in PendingDeletes after SFC operation
I posted yesterday about sudden threats from PTCH_ZACCESS.SIX popping up on my machine. Using the info on the Trend website, I ran an SFC scan on the Services.exe file, which it found as corrupt and supposedly restored it to its proper state.
Since then Trend has flagged a few other things, including a file called simply "n" listed as the threat TROJ_SIREF64.SM, which showed up in several places. Most of those were quarantined and removed on reboot, except for one that I removed myself this morning from the Local AppData folder in my user profile.
Now this morning Trend has thrown up another notification of that PTCH_ZACCESS.SIX threat, but this time it's a file called "$$DeleteME.services.exe.01cd70f09b4bc3fd.0000" in the Windows\winsxs\Temp\PendingDeletes folder. As I understand it, the files in this folder are created after an SFC scan. Right now I have 6 files in that folder, other files from 2009, not that one. So I guess that file is gone. But I cannot manually delete those other files. The other odd thing is that if I look at the Temp folder, PendingDeletes is not shown, despite Explorer being set to show hidden files and folders. The only folder shown is PendingRenames which has thousands of files in it.
I don't understand why all these threats are popping up all of a sudden. It all started after visiting the Orbea Bikes website yesterday (very high end bicycle manufacturer). I got a notification about an Adobe Flash update, but the update was one version older than what was already installed on my machine. After that my Trend Micro started going crazy with all these threat notifications: Mal_Xin12, PTCH_ZACCESS.SIX, and TROJ_SIREF64.SM, contained within the files services.exe, that weird beacucqitear.exe file, this file called "n", and that $$DeleteMe.services.exe file.
Could there be something else malicious on my machine that's creating this stuff after Trend or myself finds the files and deletes them?

If sounds as if you have one of the newer Sirefef variants. The newer variants are hard to remove, as they take advantage though the registry by presenting a genuine MS file & then switching over to the infected file, thus eluding complete detection.
MS is recommending a complete reinstall for Sirefef and doing a disk wipe would also be a good idea.
Encyclopedia entry: Win32/Sirefef - Learn more about malware - Microsoft Malware Protection Center
Caution: Win32/Sirefef is a dangerous threat that uses advanced stealth techniques in order to hinder its detection and removal. Particular variants of Win32/Sirefef may also make lasting changes to your computer that will NOT be restored - some system files may be irrevocably corrupted and essential security services may be disabled.
Due to the severe consequences associated with this threat, you may need to reinstall your Windows operating system and other computer programs, and restore your files and data from backup.

I just ran a complete, full scan with MBAM, full scan with Spybot S&D, and scan with TDSSKilller, all in safe mode in an administrator account. Nothing at all came up in any scan. I guess I'll wait and see if there are any more problems.

Amid Anti-Incumbent Wave, Colorado Senator Wins
NPR's Melissa Block talks to Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet, who won Tuesday's primary in Colorado. Bennet had the backing of President Obama, and his win may signal that the wave of anti-incumbency may not be as strong as it seemed.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Michele Norris.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
I'm Melissa Block.
And we begin this hour with politics. In Colorado, Democrats and Republicans chose candidates yesterday for their state's open Senate seat. And the winners tell two very different stories. On the Republican side, the candidate of the party establishment, the former lieutenant governor, lost to county prosecutor Ken Buck. He's a Tea Party favorite.
On the Democratic side, incumbent Michael Bennet also faced a spirited challenge from the left. Bennet was appointed to fill the seat 18 months ago. And with help from President Obama, he won big last night. I asked Senator Bennet if he thinks his victory means good news for incumbents elsewhere in the country.
Senator MICHAEL BENNET (Democrat, Colorado): I think all of these races, at the end of the day, are going to be decided on their own merits. And I think in my particular case, because I've spent my entire life outside of politics before I was put in this seat, I was able to make the case to people that I was bringing a completely different perspective than an ordinary politician, or an ordinary incumbent.
BLOCK: Your opponent, though, in the primary, Andrew Romanoff, and certainly your challenger in the race for November will be saying you are an incumbent. You are the Washington insider, and what we need is change.
Sen. BENNET: Well, I think what I'll say is that I've been there for 18 months, and it's enough to see that the place is not particularly responsive to the needs of Americans and Coloradans, going through the most savage economy since the Great Depression. And the people, you know, that go back there and just play political games and scream at each other and don't accomplish terribly much, are wasting everybody's time and energy.
BLOCK: I'd like to talk to you a bit about the White House role in your campaign. President Obama endorsed you, campaigned for you. Do you want his support on the campaign trail with you in the general election?
Sen. BENNET: Well, we'll look at all that over the next three months. I know the White House will look at it, too. It's always nice to be endorsed by the president. And I appreciated their help over the last 18 months.
BLOCK: Do you think that if you look at the general electorate, one-third of whom in Colorado are not affiliated with a party, does Barack Obama standing next to you in Colorado help or hurt?
Sen. BENNET: I don't know. I think it certainly helped during the primary, and we'll make a judgment going forward. I do believe that in a state where you've got a third Democratic voters, a third Republican voters, and a third unaffiliated -and everybody is independent-minded in this state - that what people are really interested in is less partisan solutions to problems, and more interested in trying to have people work together. It is a huge puzzle to people here why no one in Washington can seem to get along with each other.
BLOCK: What do you think accounts for the victory in the Republican primary yesterday of Ken Buck - not the choice of the Republican establishment, and a favorite of the Tea Party. What are voters saying there?
Sen. BENNET: Yeah, I mean, I think he just he was able to tap into an excited base of voters. He obviously ran a good primary campaign, and I congratulate him for it. I think that his views are far to the right of his party and don't reflect, you know, the mainstream in Colorado. But he certainly did what he needed to do to win this primary.
BLOCK: And Ken Buck does campaign as an outsider who's fed up with the Congress. You have been in Congress for 18 months now. Do you think that will work against you in the general election?
Sen. BENNET: I don't think so. I mean, I'm fed up too, but I'll tell you this -and as a father of three little girls - the answer is not to shut everything down or to stop progress or to say we can't fix it, just to throw mud at each other. We've got to fix it. You know, it's broken, and it needs to be fixed. If we can't fix it, we're going to be the first generation of Americans to leave less opportunity to our kids and our grandkids. And no one wants that.
BLOCK: Michael Bennet, thanks for talking with us.
Sen. BENNET: Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. I'm going to go back and get some sleep.
BLOCK: Okay, thank you.
Sen. BENNET: Bye.

Complaint Review: Waffle House
Waffle House Staff Rude, Food Not Right, Picayune Mississippi
I was getting aggrivated, so I got up and stopped a waitress and asked if she could take our order. She replied in a rude manner that we were not her table, or her problem and WALKED AWAY. I confronted her again and asked her who our waitress was, she told me Ms. Frieda and once again WALKED AWAY. Now I was mad. In a very loud voice I called MS.FRIEDA! The woman turned around and told me that I was being rude. I WAS BEING RUDE!!! We timed her, and it STILL took her 10 minutes to come and take our order.
My friend decided to be adventurous and order a pecan waffle. Living in the deep south we encounter pecans on a regular basis, most of us have the d**n trees in our yard. Well, I ordered cheese grits, and when I got them it was a bowl of cold grits with a slice of unmelted american cheese on top. I sent it back and asked them to microwave it or something, and Ms.Frieda informed me that waffle house does NOT have a microwave.
Another girl who was sitting with us got an order of RAW hashbrowns, and was told that since they were taken off the grill they could not be put back on, and what was she supposed to do about it? Well, the girl told her to bring her hashbrowns that were cooked this time. She brought her an order that was so burnt they were inedible.
Well my friend that ordered the pecan waffle took one bite and gagged. It was cold, and when I tried it the pecans were sour. If you have ever had a sour pecan, you know it is not a pleasant thing. Well, once again we had to battle to get Frieda's attention, and when we finally did she started talking to my friend like she was a child. She was saying things like "Do you KNOOW what a pecan is?" "Have you ever eaten a waffle before?" "What do you want me to do about it?" And so on. Well, appetites ruined we all got up to leave. We were just going to walk out, because we had not eaten anything, but the manager told us that he would call the police and have us arrested for theft if we did not pay, so we paid.
Later I found out from another friend that the manager had rear ended her at a stoplight and drove off. She called 911 on her cell and when he was caught, he did not remember hitting her cause he was drunk. None of the people with me that night have returned to waffle house. We would rather starve.

A3 Admin Spotlight - Whitenun and Cwalka

This week I'd like to highlight our A3 Admin team, all of which have been doing a sexcellent job at keeping the server plague/d-bag free.
The first two are Whitenun and Cwalka, who took the time to introduce themselves and give a little bit more than just the normal introduction.
ow did you come upon your gamertag? Any unique stories here with it?
-A friend of mine went on a fishing trip and the boat was called The Blue Nun Too. When he got back, he pretty much made that is online tag (AIM, BF 1942, etc). From there, all my friends and I picked a color for when we played BF 1942 together. From there it just stuck and has had adaptations from being White_Nun_Too down to Whitenun. (And it's
NUN, not RUN. I'm not a city in Skyrim)
What made you want to be an admin on our A3 server? What do you like the most here about our server that you felt set us above what else is out there?
-I've like playing Wasteland since Arma 2 and was excited when we got an Arma 3 server up and running. I wanted to be an admin since I try to be on frequently and I like helping people. I rather be unlocking players so they can play with their friends than banning or kicking people.
-I play on the server since I am a Member of the community so this is where my friends play. Also gotta rep TPG!
What has been some of your past admin experience if any, and if not, then -- ALSO-- what has brought you to this community?
-I used to admin a CS:S and BF2 server for another clan I was in, MI5. The CS server was mildly popular, but the BF2 server was full most the time so dealing with being an admin was a tough job.
-I came to this community originally to play DOTA2. I quickly noticed there was a small DOTA2 community as everyone was playing DayZ, so I got Arma 2 to join in and get to know people. DayZ wasn't so much fun for me, so that's when I started playing Wasteland. Still played with other in things like TF2, CS:GO, and other games the community plays
Times you typically play daily on our A3 Wasteland server, and days?
I get on in the evenings around 7:00 PM EST. I try to get on most days, but weekends are more likely.
Favorite gun and/or vehicle in A3?
Gun: Navid Vehicle: ATV
How did you come upon your gamertag? Any unique stories here with it?
It's been my gamertag on Xbox since way back in middle school when I was lame enough to crip walk and post videos online (which no one will
everbe seeing)...also I'm not clever enough to come up with anything else lol.
What made you want to be an admin on our A3 server? What do you like the most here about our server that you felt set us above what else is out there?
I was playing on the Wasteland server for a few months on a daily basis and loved the community and regular players. Started to post on the forums and thought I could do a lot of good by helping keep the server quality at its best while I am logged in!
What has been some of your past admin experience if any, and if not, then -- ALSO-- what has brought you to this community?
This was the first Wasteland server that I joined. And I have been here ever since. It was pretty much
impossible to
notstick around. With all the great players and welcoming TPG members, playing the game was 10x more exciting.
Times you typically play daily on our A3 Wasteland server, and days?
Used to play at all times of the day and night, but recently got a job in IT as a security auditor which has been consuming my life. So normally anywhere from 6-11pm.
Favorite gun and/or vehicle in A3?
SPMG or Mk1 EBR all day.

I'll still buy it.
This isn't CS:Go, skill-based matchmaking? Feh.
Star Wars Battlefront will not have a server browser. EA community manager Sledgehammer 70 posted the news on the
Star Wars Battlefront subreddit
, saying that Battlefront will "utilize a new skill based matchmaking system" instead.
The thread is full of disappointed players. The Battlefield games, and most shooters worth their salt, give players the option to join servers of their choosing. Server browsers give you greater control over the maps and modes you want to play, and can offer communities stable spots where they can meet and compete. The alternative, matchmaking, is a good way to quickly jump into a game, but is less likely to foster a community that will stick around on PC.
Server browsers can be inconvenient for developers who want to see the user base spread across all of the available maps and modes. Servers give the community the ability to flock to a limited set of favoured maps, to the exclusion of all others. which can effectively kill maps that fall out of favour. Is this why DICE has decided to go with a matchmaking-only option, or is it because accessibility is more important to the wide-ranging audience that a Star Wars game is likely to attract?
We'll find out how good the matchmaking is the "technical test" launches
next month

Under the Sharia law of Islam, the payment or receipt of riba (interest) is prohibited, and thus a conventional mortgage cannot be utilized by a practicing Muslim. Obviously this poses a problem, as home prices are far too expensive to buy outright for the typical consumer.
However, this can be solved by having the bank purchase the property and sell it back to the mortgagee in one of three ways. The bank will either sell the property at a higher price to the mortgagee under an installment plan, or rent it to the tenant/homeowner, and have the mortgagee pay a contribution towards the equity of the home each month until it is paid off in full. The second method is also known as "lease to purchase" because the homeowner "rents" the property while paying down principal and gaining equity. Another option is to create an LLC whereby the finance company and the homebuyer own shares.
With regard to the western world, Islamic Mortgages are probably most common in the United Kingdom, although they seem to be gaining steam in the United States. Roughly five years ago, mortgage financier Freddie Mac agreed to buy these types of mortgages, and at this point, others probably wish they had too.
Because Islamic mortgages tend to be more straightforward than some of the exotic offerings seen in traditional Alt-A and subprime lending, the borrower default rate is probably a lot lower. The lack of trickery and bait-and-switch has also encouraged more Muslims to consider an Islamic mortgage, as it further justifies the choice.

New Saucerian Press is too pleased to present The Passionate Percipient: Illusions I Have Known and Loved, a collection of magazine articles by John A. Keel, the man many consider to have been not only the premiere investigator of all things unusual and Fortean, but who was also our own, twentieth-century Mark Twain.
Many of the articles in this anthology and its companion volumes, Flying Saucer to the Center of Your Mind, The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone, Searching for the String, The Great Phonograph in the Sky, and The Perspicacious Percipient: How to Investigate UFOs and Other Insane Urges, were revolutionary, and explored ideas popularized in Keel's classic books. Written in Keel's engaging trademark style, they are sure to delight fans with their fresh, unparalleled insights into the nature of reality.
John Keel displays the keen observational skills and investigative tenacity that made him the enfant terrible of ufology for decades. In this no-holds-barred analysis - much of it written decades ago - Keel shreds many of the sacred-cow beliefs still held in ufological and cryptozoological circles today, and presents theories so radical that they are only now becoming accepted: the 4-D or interdimensional thesis; the breakaway civilization theory; the possible role of ancient aliens in human history; the synthetic and/or hallucinatory nature of many alien abduction and Men in Black encounters; the role of spy agencies in paranormal research; and the alarming connection between UFOs, animal mutilations, and attacks on unsuspecting humans.

Yes, I have already.
While these ideas are interesting, Keel's ego draws serious suspect on his recounts of things that happened. He's usually always mentioned by people who don't know him, the only one who can calm people, the only one who understands something, supposedly the best investigative journalist ever and everyone else except a select few are pathetic etc. There really are endless examples of this sort of white knighting, self importance through out all of his books and articles.The some people's ego needs to feel superior to everyone else, that it will in fact lie to fit that need. So, while his ideas are interesting and well thought out, his recounts of events are highly unbelievable and are most likely embellished, either on purpose or subconsciously. His name dropping is a bit of a supporting fact.
Again, it's not a horrible book. It's just you really need to keep in mind the guy was an ego maniac and take everything with a grain of salt.
Oh my no. His accents are borderline racist or just absurd. I appreciate the effort, but when you make a man from India sound like a Chinese man, you just need to stop.
Not really. Everything stated here is echoed in every other book. They're almost all exactly the same thing. Which is disappointing.

That's me swinging the kettle bell in CrossFit
It's true. I drank the Kool-Aid and asked for a second glass.
I'm in love with CrossFit.
I haven't talked about it much because, frankly, I don't want it to take over my blog.
I promise I won't be posting daily about WODs (Workouts of the Day) or throwing around acronyms like WOD or AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible) or C&J (Clean and Jerk.)
That just doesn't sound like fun to me.
However, CrossFit has taken over my workouts.
At the end of last year I was ecstatic to find a new CrossFit gym in my area. I dropped in for a class and immediately fell in love.
First there's something you need to know about me and gyms. When I started working out (which I did of my own free will and not something I thought I HAD to do to lose weight) I tried to use all the fancy equipment and hated it.
I hate treadmills, stationary bikes, Nautilus equipment. I also hate working out alone. For me, gym membership = access to classes.
I started with step and Zumba (not a fan, I'll dance in my living room, thank you very much!) and then got more adventurous with Spinning, kickboxing and bootcamps. When I switched gyms 2 years ago I discovered Les Mills BodyCombat and BodyPump. All great stuff, but after about a year, I was bored.
CrossFit was a welcome change and challenge. After a month of dropping in on classes I decided to quit my traditional gym membership and join the CrossFit gym. I've been going consistently 4-5 days a week for the past 2 months — here's why…
1. The Focus on Overall Fitness Goals Not Body Parts
One of the things I always hated about working out with a trainer, or even listening to some of the instructors at the gym, is the constant talk about exercising to achieve a certain body. I'd cringe when the step instructor would mention how tight our asses would be by the summer if we just pushed a little harder. Every trainer I talked to always seemed more preoccupied with sculpting a body then overall fitness. I know some people are into that and get motivated by it, but it's not for me. I've had more success in achieving a healthy body image by allowing my body to be a byproduct of my lifestyle. I think working out to achieve a body shape is a slippery slope, especially when using celebrities as our goals and inspiration.
Not once have I heard this talk at my CrossFit gym. We focus on strength and performance. Did we run a little faster than last week? Could we lift a little heaver? It's all about your overall fitness, strength and flexibility — not your abs, ass and arms. I, for one, am way more motivated in this type of environment.
2. Competitively Supportive Environment
Speaking of the environment, I know a lot of people who are turned off by the timed workouts and seemingly competitive nature of CrossFit. It's true that CrossFit can be and is competitive for those who want to compete, but for day-to-day workouts, the atmosphere could not be more supportive.
Sure, we time ourselves and see how much weight everyone is lifting, but the focus is on doing YOUR best. Maybe it's just the personality type of crossFitters, but I find the atmosphere competitively supportive.
3. Variety of Workouts
Two months of workouts so far and never have I done the same thing twice. Sure, there's core exercises we do over and over again (hello, box jumps!) but every day is a surprise. Sometimes it's a circuit and you are timed, sometimes it's a set time and you see how many rounds you can do. Sometimes you're running, sometimes you're rowing. Sometimes you lift heavy, sometimes you go for reps. Every day is an adventure. As someone who bores easy, this is invaluable.
4. Just Show Up
This isn't necessarily a benefit of only CrossFIt but I have to mention it as it's another thing I find necessary in my workouts. As a wife, mom and business owner, I plan a lot. I'm responsible for a lot. I organize A LOT. When it comes to my workouts I want someone else to do the work. I just want to show up. That may sound odd for a borderline Type-A personality, but it's true. I show up for class, look at the board and just workout. There are no decisions to be made. I'm smiling just thinking about it.
5. Bye Bye Comfort Zone
I think my absolute favorite thing about CrossFit is its ability to literally shove me out of my comfort zone. I haven't mastered everything, by far, but just attempting things I didn't think were possible (I'm talking to you, wall climbs and multiple pull-ups) builds confidence. Even when I fail! Why? Because, well, I had the courage to try and one day I will succeed. I can just feel it.

wikiHow to Calculate Modulus
Three Methods:Understand the Difference Between Stress and StrainGet the Needed Input To the EquationsPerform the CalculationsCommunity Q&A
Modulus is the ability of a material to resist stretching, compressing and shearing forces imposed on it by exterior causes. The modulus defines the amount that the material will deform under such external forces while retaining the memory of the original shape of the material. The material will return to its initial shape when the forces are removed. The ability of the material to return to the initial shape breaks down at a point called the yield stress point. If external forces deform the material past the yield strength point, the material will be permanently deformed and will not return to its initial shape when the external forces are removed. If the external forces drive the material past the tensile strength point of the material, it will cause the material to break. Use these tips to learn how to calculate modulus.
Understand the Difference Between Stress and Strain
1Note that material stress is caused by axial stretching force. For example, pulling straight out on a piece of taffy will stretch the taffy due to applied stress.
2Understand that material strain is caused by shearing force perpendicular to the axis of the material. For example, pushing on the middle of a tennis racket string will bend the string due to applied strain.
Get the Needed Input To the Equations
1Measure the proportional fractional volume change (also known as dilation) of the material. Apply a known force to the material in both the stress and strain directions. Measure the dilation (dSs) that occurs in the material when stress only is applied. Measure the dilation (dSn) that occurs in the material when the external force applies only strain.
Perform the Calculations
1Calculate the bulk modulus. Bulk modulus expresses the strength of the material when external force is applied in the axial direction, producing stress. The external pressure p (force times area over which the force is applied, expressed in MPa) applied to the material equals the dilation (a unitless number) times the bulk modulus K (expressed in MPa). As p = K times dSs, the bulk modulus K is determined as p divided by dSs.
2Figure out the shear modulus. Shear modulus expresses the strength of the material when external force is applied in the perpendicular direction, producing strain. The external pressure p (force times area over which the force is applied, expressed in MPa) applied to the material equals the dilation (a unitless number) times the shear modulus G (expressed in MPa). As p = G times dSn, the bulk modulus G is determined as p divided by dSn.
3Determine the Young's Modulus. Stressing a material will cause a proportional strain and vice versa. Young's modulus describes the relationship between stress and strain in the material. It is a linear relationship up to the yield point of the material. Young's modulus E equals stress divided by strain.
Community Q&A
How do I change modulus?wikiHow ContributorYou cannot change modulus.
When the pressure of a liquid is increased from 2MPa to 5 M.Pa, the corresponding decrease in volume is found to be 0.1 percent. The bulk modulus of elasticity (K) of the fluid is X. How can I find X?
A rubber ball is taken to depth 1 km inside water so that its volume reduces by 0.05% then what is the bulk modulus of the rubber?
- When applying external force to the material to measure proportional fractional volume change, do not apply so much force that the material crosses over the yield strength point. The resulting permanent material deformation will invalidate the data taken.
- A sinusoidal external force used to measure proportional volume change will yield more accurate values than will be achieved by applying a steady state external force.

Case name: Spaeth v. Georgetown University, No. 11-1376 (ESH) (D.D.C. 05/09/13).
Ruling: The U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia granted summary judgment to Georgetown University,
dismissing the plaintiff's age discrimination claims.
What it means: When a plaintiff claims he was not
interviewed for a college or university position because of his age,
it's not sufficient to show that the individuals interviewed and hired
were younger than he was. He must also show that he had all the
qualifications necessary to obtain a tenure-track position.
Summary: Nicholas Spaeth — born in 1950 —
attended Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. He graduated from
Stanford Law School in 1977 after serving as a law review editor.
Following law school, he served as North Dakota state
attorney general for seven years, as general counsel to several Fortune
500 companies, and as a lawyer in private practice. He also taught
constitutional law as an adjunct professor at the University of
Minnesota Law School from 1980 through 1983.
In 2009, he decided to pursue an academic career.
Ultimately, he obtained a non-tenure-track position as a visiting
professor of law at the University of Missouri at Columbia for the
2010-2011 school year.
In 2010, Spaeth submitted a resume to an online resume
system in which 172 law schools participated because his visiting
professor position was only a one-year appointment.
He also wrote to several law schools directly to indicate his interest in being considered for a position.
He did not write directly to Georgetown University because he didn't think that he wanted to live in Washington, D.C.
Spaeth was invited to preliminary interviews by only two schools and received no job offers.
He then filed a suit against Georgetown, claiming that
its failure to interview and hire him violated the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act because it ultimately hired three less-qualified
candidates who were approximately 25 years younger.
Georgetown filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing
that Spaeth's online résumé did not reveal any interest or experience in
producing the kind of original legal research and scholarship that
Georgetown and other top-tier law schools required.
Spaeth countered that Georgetown had no written
requirement that scholarship weighed heavily — or outweighed — teaching
and service.
However, District Judge Ellen Huvelle said that the lack
of a written requirement was irrelevant. She said there was no need to
put in writing what everyone knew: that scholarship was — for better or
worse — one of the overriding concerns among elite law schools in making
hiring decisions.
She recognized that Spaeth strongly felt that law
students should be taught by practitioners instead of academics.
However, she said that he could not dispute that scholarship was indeed a
primary focus of law schools when hiring faculty members, and she
refused to interfere with the university's priorities.
Judge Huvelle found that Spaeth did not demonstrate the
necessary qualifications for an entry-level tenure-track position at
Georgetown because he had no record of scholarly work and had not shown a
potential for producing such work in the future.
She granted summary judgment in favor of the university.
30+ years of law practice are no substitute for scholarship

for when hearts and minds come
together as one,
the union takes mere mortals
to places never been.
The flight of love will allow you to
challenge your wildest dreams.
Side by side you will explore the
endless possibilities of your shared world
And your journey will soar and fly
with bearings sound and direction true.
May your winds be favorable
and your skies remain clear
as you guide your shared flight
towards the rising sun, for in the dawn of each new day
you will find the light to guide your way.
May you enjoy your journey
along the way, and may you feel
the gentle guiding presence of others
who share the skies with you,
the place of freedom,
adventure and endless hope.
