Paul Ryan is amazing.
I always thought I was OK with arithmetic this guy can run circles around the and he has honesty is straightforward he is sincere in the budget he came bored with it just like Paul -- It is a sensible.
Honest serious budget.
Or that was from September of 2011 are symbols of course the co chair of this president's -- commission.
A former chief of staff for Bill Clinton put some good things to say about the man who would -- As the vice presidential candidates toward the Republican ticket.
In 2012 -- -- now from democratic leader.
And Paul Ryan's Budget Committee rival Chris van Holland.
So obviously hot day and then now there are not.
Does it not a -- net -- unanimous pointed anti.
But Ryan views up there among your colleagues what do you make of that and what Erskine Bowles was saying about -- Well -- as you may well know why I get along very well personally with Paul Ryan.
On the Budget Committee we disagree fundamentally on key issues but we always do it.
In a civil manner there's no doubt that Paul Ryan understands his math and I think everybody understands that.
If you're gonna provide a huge additional tax breaks to folks in the very top.
And say at the same time your interest in reducing the deficit it means you're gonna hit everyone and everyone else a lot harder and this is gonna -- -- we're understand that you you ignore.
Of the runaway costs associated for example -- Medicare not that you cut it but.
But or you'd have to know he's that was -- curbing the growth to bed and look people -- alternatives to address.
The grenade that that you and others have acknowledged that -- we don't fix this thing and yet he -- been.
-- rang it is all but pushing granny off a cliff I believe in one -- that's exactly what it's doing is that there is that right and does it do a great disservice.
To Paul Ryan when many in your party espouses that view.
Well -- it's the way that the Ryan plan and now the Romney Ryan plan would deal with Medicare there's no doubt.
That we need to modernize the Medicare system and we begin to do that and Affordable Care Act the issue.
Is whether you do it by trying to reduce the overall health care -- by changing some of very miss align incentives in the program right now there's an incentive.
To provide a greater volume of care greater quantity of care as opposed to value of care.
We began to change that what's different about the Ryan in Enron the approach.
Is they would simply shift they ever rising health care costs.
On the senior citizens we don't think that's the right way to go and we think it's totally unbalanced when you do that.
At the same time that -- providing huge tax breaks to people like Mitt -- When you look at this congress and the united chat about this before but -- clearly the system cannot go on as it's going and and he is not addressing present.
Recipients he's looking at those.
Much younger today 55 and under today and by the time this were an active likely fifty.
Three and under today more or less saying in order to make sure there's a benefit for you here -- justice we can make now.
And and yet that's being treated as if he were you know Satan with a spreadsheet.
I don't know if that's right nine I don't think that's that's accurate deal when you heard what Harry Reid has set -- -- Let me let me make two points the first is that the there Ryan and Romney plan.
Will have an immediate impact.
On many seniors on Medicare in two ways one it will immediately increase cost for people with high prescription drug use because they re open.
Immediately the prescription drug doughnut hole that was closed as part of the Affordable Care Act.
Second when it comes to preventative health care services for seniors it will become immediately much more costly.
In the longer term what I what -- written checks and -- to object to with the Ryan approach.
And the -- approach is that they will give seniors a much worse deal than they give the members of congress.
What that does younger people what's in those aren't seniors now -- -- to whether these days it -- to talk about would be what you said I don't know authority what -- saying is what about all the other people who are coming up the growing older than 101000 were joining the system.
Per day in this country.
What about assurances for them that will be here because you know congressman and you know these numbers -- -- better than anyone.
That the rate we're going it is not sustainable now we can quibble with the right approach wouldn't quibble with the Romney approached.
But today there's no denying -- Baghdad as we are going we've got to make some adjustments and some Democrats are not doing it.
Well to the two things first -- I'm doing more than quibbling with that approach I think it's a fundamentally flawed approach but.
There's no doubt as I said -- we need to make some changes now.
People need to recognize the Affordable Care Act extended the life of Medicare by over seven years we're talking about part -- of Medicare.
That's according to the Medicare actuary.
We need to build on that and the way we would build on that is to change some of these incentives right now.
There's an incentive.
There's no incentive for hospitals for example.
To prevent a patient for -- being readmitted multiple times based on the same condition because the hospital gets paid every time.
We need to move too late payment system that encourages the coordination of care.
That's the way to save money not -- off loading rising health care costs on to seniors on Medicare whose median income is 23000 dollars.
Congressman it's always good having you agree or disagree never disagreeable.
Good seeing you again.
Good to see what you want to bring the --

Woman stops to ask directions, raped by armed men
An investigation underway in Franklin County after a St. Louis woman says she was raped by two armed men.
The woman told officers she was driving home to St. Louis from Cuba, when she became lost. When she pulled over to ask for directions, two men--one man armed with a knife, the other with a gun--approached her car. The men proceeded to sexually assault her.
The woman was treated for the assault at a hospital. Police have only a very vague description of the suspects. The woman was not able to tell authorities which direction the men drove off.
Girl in Missouri rape case writes 1st-person account
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri teen who says she was raped by an older boy at her high school has written an account of her ordeal for an online woman's magazine.
In the article posted Friday on xojane.com, Daisy Coleman writes that the 2012 incident sent her into a spiral and she twice tried to commit suicide.
Mandy Stadtmiller, deputy editor for the website, says she asked Daisy to provide the first-person account after reading about her story.
Felony charges against two teens were dropped after the prosecutor in Maryville said the witnesses refused to cooperate.
On Wednesday, the prosecutor asked for a special prosecutor to re-examine the evidence.
Maryville officials put schools on heightened alert
MARYVILLE, Mo. (AP) - Maryville city and school officials say they are on heightened alert in response to negative attention the city is receiving over a sexual abuse case.
City, school and police officials say they are concerned about reaction expressed on social media and in phone calls after the Nodaway County prosecutor decided to drop sexual assault charges against two 17-year-old boys who were accused of sexually assaulting two younger girls.
On Monday, the activist group Anonymous released an online statement criticizing the city and police for not prosecuting the case. However, the case was handled by Nodaway County, not the city.
The Maryville Daily Forum reports police are increasing patrols to protect anyone involved with the case and school officials met Monday at all three city schools to discuss security.
UPDATE: Man accused of luring teen on phone chat, then drugging, raping her
St. Charles police believe the man accused of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl and taking nude cell phone pictures of her, probably had more victims.
Forty-seven year old Thomas Wilburn is charged with statutory sodomy, statutory rape and enticement of a child under age 14.
St. Charles County Prosecutor Tim Lohmar says Wilburn lured the girl to his apartment in May through a singles' telephone chat service that's supposed to be for adults only. Lohmar calls that disturbing. "It is very concerning that somebody who's underage could find their way, not only into the chat room, but to be able to participate in the chat room," Lohmar said.
Lohmar says this girl probably wasn't the only victim Wilburn met through the chat service. "We have reason to believe that there are other victims out there, for sure," he said.
Police say Wilburn was identified through court ordered phone records.
Wilburn is a registered sex offender with statutory rape convictions in 2007. He's currently jailed on $100,000 bond.
Jury: Ex-Ohio deputy, baby sitter guilty of rape
MARION, Ohio (AP) - A former Ohio sheriff's deputy and correction officer has been convicted of raping a 5-year-old girl while he was baby-sitting.
State Attorney General Mike DeWine announced Thursday a Marion County jury found 28-year-old Randy N. Spencer guilty of four counts of rape. His office says Spencer raped the girl between June 2012 and April.
Defense attorney Rocky Ratliff says Spencer denies the charges. He says Spencer is disappointed with the jury's decision and will appeal his conviction. He says prosecutors had no physical evidence against Spencer, whose girlfriend runs a baby-sitting business.
The Columbus Dispatch reports Spencer baby-sat the girl and other children when his girlfriend wasn't available.
The Marion resident faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. He's scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 27.
BREAKING: 4 men convicted in India gang rape case
NEW DELHI (AP) - An Indian court has convicted four men in the December gang rape of a young woman on a moving bus in New Delhi.
The men were convicted Tuesday and face the possibility of hanging. Sentences are expected to be handed down Wednesday.
The brutal rape set off waves of protest in India, giving voice to years of anger over the treatment of women and a silent epidemic of sexual harassment and rape.
Man cleared of rape and robbery thanks to DNA testing
An East St. Louis man is back home after spending nearly four months in jail for a crime he did not commit.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that DNA evidence cleared 20-year-old Marlon Miller as a suspect in a brutal rape and robbery. The victim was walking home from a Metrolink stop in East St. Louis when someone pointed a gun at her and forced to a secluded area, then robbed and raped her.
Miller may still be headed to court, he alleges that former East St. Louis detective Orlando Ward coerced a confession to the robbery and helped charge him with sexual assault. Ward was arrested last month for allegedly being a part of a drug ring.
Relative accused of sexually assaulting 2-year-old girl
Reports of a disturbing case of sexual assault coming from Belleville.
A 45-year-old man is in custody after allegedly raping a 2-year-old girl. Officers say there was a witness present for the assault. The suspect in the case is a relative of the child. The toddler has been taken to a hospital for evaluation.
The case is now in the hands of the State's Attorney.
St. Clair Co. authorities file charges against DNA profile of unnamed suspect
Determined not to let the statute of limitations keep them from prosecuting a serial rapist, St. Clair County authorities have charged a suspect identified only by his DNA profile with a 2005 assault in East St. Louis.
The profile is linked to four other sexual assault cases between 1997 and 2008.
Prosecutors say they to the action in order to file charges before the 10 year statute of limitations runs out.
Illinois State Police Lt. Dave Wasmuth says he believes the serial rapist will eventually be arrested. "We're just waiting for his DNA to be taken, submitted to the DNA index, and a match will occur, Lt. Wasmuth said. "And then the warrant would be amended and actually put that person's name on the warrant."
St. Clair County State's Attorney Brendan Kelly says the victim, who no longer lives in the St. Louis area, is "happy" that authorities are pursing a conviction so aggressively.
This is the first time St. Clair County prosecutors have filed charges against a suspect identified only by a DNA profile, but similar legal actions have been taken elsewhere in Illinois.
Bail for the unnamed suspect has already been set at $750,000.
Man, convicted of four rapes, admits to fifth
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that all the crimes occurred in 2006 in St. Louis city and county. The fifth case was brought by prosecutors in September on the basis of further DNA testing. Prosecutors say Frost assaulted the victim at gunpoint.
As part of a plea deal, Frost on Monday was sentenced to 30 years plus 10 on charges of forced rape, forced sodomy and sexual abuse. The latest sentence will run concurrently with the time already being served on the other attacks.

What is a Vlog and how do you do it?
I think one of the first times I ever really heard of or paid any attention to a vlog was the infamous Chris Crocker's "Leave Brtiney Alone" video, remember that?
It's one thing to write about whatever in a blog, but it's a whole different world when you put it to video, so I gave it a try. Now I have a pretty thick skin, so you probably won't hurt my feelings, however I have to say it was a little intimidating. You really do put yourself, and your personality, out there. Your sitting there, talking to yourself and you feel really, really stupid and the whole time you are thinking, "I hope I don't sound really really stupid".
So here is my first vlog. Laugh, cry, point, make fun of, tease, whatever…just make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel at the end. And don't forget to make me go viral on Facebook and Twitter like this talking dog that I have to watch on a daily basis or "Blood" or my favorite, the "Charlie bit my finger" kid.
Till next time…

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: Best Laptop for Law School?
« on: June 30, 2005, 02:36:50 PM »Not sure if it's been said already but Apple recently started offering a free 4gb ipod Mini with purchase of laptops for students! $179 value. If you choose a more exensive ipod, the same $179 coupon is given upon sending in the upc, etc. So it makes a nice deal if you're thinking of getting an ipod in addition to a laptop.
Regardless of the free ipod, I plan to buy a 12" powerbook. Can't wait.
My 2 yen.
Just my luck...I bought my iPod and the 12" powerbook just a few weeks ago with only the regular education discount.

Other than that it's very rare you see business yeah I'm optimist here and I think in the last blog definitely not going to last that's the thing build on -- he's chief economist for Indiana idea he says great we were up but.
It's definitely not relax it's too much political uncertainty from the November elections coming up so this bump isn't expected to last and so what's interesting is that in this report.
Capital expenditures are up 55%.
So what does that mean this -- our small businesses are spending on expanding -- facilities they're investing in new vehicles and new technology great but guess what they're not investing and hiring new people -- So where the jobs are always here where the jobs and they're not here they're not in this report so they're they're willing to spend a little bit of money.
Time it.
Those new investments but they're not -- to actually go out there and bring new people into their business and yet that's upsetting and it's they're probably not gonna do that until after the November I'm sure -- -- I actually met with the last month and what he was saying to me is that he isn't expecting any.
Real teens in this index as far as steady optimism increasing and hiring through next July oh well leading for an -- -- -- about uncertainty for.
One hour wrong times so every every month being you'll be happy and -- humanity and I yes meant power was out.
The staffing firm reacts -- -- -- out with survey on the same day the NFIB believes it's and they said companies are not planning to hire new workers in the holiday quarter which is really exciting because that is always nice bump yeah -- appointment and those numbers always thought the bit but in this survey so.
Hiring is essentially at zero because 12% of businesses said that they were adding an average of two point seven workers per firm a bank but 10% or firings -- an average of two point -- exactly so it's essentially at zero same thing happened with sales numbers out.
24% reported higher sales between 9% reported lower sales so it's a penny a little game -- -- -- we're getting one step forward two steps back exactly yes and has always our top three issues were attacks is with 23% of the vote.
Unnecessary regulations and red tape when 21% of the vote and sales again 20% brings us to the candidates so it's obvious at the end but -- -- -- the Republican candidate Mitt Romney -- ask don't endorse any mountain.
In national action so that we're not gonna see them actually come mountainside parent support -- I'm sure that some of the economists that work there any maybe some of the businesses that they represent.
Are likely more conservative but the F could be a lot of -- -- big small business advocacy groups they don't they don't -- -- -- exactly access -- their members could you know whoever they want but -- -- gonna take the position -- when did you regulation.
And over regulation -- nothing in -- -- -- thing of course and that's the freezing to -- that they asked ten questions of about 800 businesses that are in the membership in -- is that.
Survey that they come out so it's all -- -- freeze but -- -- -- always a top concern.
-- you know the September numbers should be interesting and in fact that we haven't said making their decision tomorrow -- whether he should keep interest rates at historic lows for another year so through 2015 that's -- and the possibility on the table -- even more money -- -- which -- -- stimulus but -- stimulus -- for the market well that could -- the -- increasing -- that you brought -- the -- -- of course some people are saying -- this is what the economy -- is just like -- really -- cool products for people are spending their money -- well -- -- -- -- from -- Defcon five -- -- -- -- currency world -- -- -- -- -- yeah -- didn't -- -- economists -- -- -- and said -- could -- GDP in the holiday -- would certainly -- three billion dollars -- policy.
And an aide Ed internationally says it's great that it's a products that could do that because it's made by.
American workers and an American company and its retail sales so will take it right I hope that Apple Store hired some extra employees for the holiday season into the living on small business -- now with cellular out of the small business know.
But apple shares by the way up a little bit today is about twenty bucks off -- all time high of 683 dollars it's scary that I know that the -- Rodgers thank you so much for joining hands you the article on foxbusiness.com.

An international team of astronomers last week detected the most distant gamma-ray burst ever recorded, light that was emitted when the universe was less than 5 percent of its present age.
The burst, called GRB 090423 (after the date it was first seen), appears to signal the death throes of a massive star in the very early universe, just 630 million years after the big bang, according to NASA. (Current estimates peg the universe's age at around 13.7 billion years.)
NASA's Swift satellite picked up the short-lived burst Thursday—gamma-ray bursts usually last just minutes, even seconds—and a suite of follow-up observations of the explosion's afterglow at telescopes around the globe enabled an age estimate.

Financial Times
Few would object to the overall goal of ending extreme poverty. Few, then, wouldoppose this year's "Human Development Report" from the United Nations DevelopmentProgramme. But if the intentions are excellent, the obstacles to success are huge.The report's big plan is the Millennium Development Compact, which emphasises thatrich and poor nations both have obligations: the rich nations to open their markets andprovide more aid; the poor nations to improve their governance. Most problems wouldgo away if poor countries had efficient, accountable and honest governments. But goodgovernance cannot be created by external fiat. It is slow to evolve and fragile onceachieved. For this side of the compact, the citizens of poor nations can only hope thattheir governments live up to the fine words.Meanwhile, donors must encourage and support the highest standards. The best way todo so is to focus their aid selectively. Giving aid to good performers brings threebenefits: it weakens cynicism about the case for aid; it means aid is used moreeffectively; and it provides examples where good governments make real progress.Progress certainly has been made and there is always a poster child to advertise it(Mozambique is this season's star). However, the greatest progress has been achievedin two less photogenic titans, India and China.The Chinese success alone has outweighed failures elsewhere and, against the globaltrend, brought down the number of people worldwide living on less than a dollar a day. Ifthe case of China teaches us anything, however, it is that economies can be reformedwithout resorting to all the Washington orthodoxies. Development policy has to improvemany things simultaneously: low tariff barriers are well and good but little use to acountry without roads, banks and a healthy workforce.The "Human Development Report" does an admirable job of highlighting thesecomplexities. However, the choice of examples displays a worrying scepticism aboutmarket solutions. Successful instances of state provision of utilities are set alongsidestories of failed privatisation. Closer examination makes clear that market-baseddevelopment policy has had many successes, especially where state capabilities areweakest. Functioning market economies have been harder to create than many thought10 years ago. But we should not assume that the alternative to flawed capitalism isbenevolent, capable and well-funded government.With the best will in the world, governments of rich countries cannot solve all theproblems of the developing world. But they should at least try far harder. Aid budgetsneed both to increase and to be more effectively delivered. Developing countries alsoneed better access to agricultural markets in rich countries. Unfortunately, thedeveloped world has failed to lower farm protection over more than half a century. Thisis the time for a change. It is hard to believe it will happen.

Original Message
Let ye know now the true Good Shepard that ye seek.
Let a mystery be given unto ye to know the times in which I shall do these things.
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four cbeasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the asecond seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take apeace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with asword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Let it be known the first four seals to be broken also represent the four horsemen of the apocalyse, let it be known the whitehorse represents the deciever whom shall bring forth the world war to come he that is the Antichrist the king over the antichrists.
Let it be known that the world war will bring pestilence, famine and death. That those whom die in it shall be taken to Hell for they died in their sins. Death comes and Hades follows soon after.
Let ye know also the ecomony shall collapse for a time and a new system come out of the ruins having power of the first system of beast, in which money shall no longer be the way but a new system shall come of simlar design.
Behold I am He whom spoke these things to John the revelator and showed him the things to come and now I translate it for you so ye may know when I begin to break the Seal. Know this all those whom have pretended to be Me shall have great woes in times to come as the Seals are broken and if they repent not Hell shall have them. Many have spoken in my name without my authority and corrupted the field with their poisons.
I am the Truth the Light and the Life no man women nor child goeth unto the Father but by me, I am the bridge to the eternitys there is no future beyond Hell outside coming through me. Man is bound and destined for condemnation and eternal suffering I have offered the world and those whom would believe and follow the example and be humble in doing so a alternative outcome.
Hell is all around you your universe is the realm of darkness the Light holds it back for a time, the spirit is protected while in the body but the body is also corrupt and binding to the spirit. Many whom have died did not go to good places very few even make it to the place of waiting and none but a few have seen Heaven.

Sexual health and aging: Keep the passion alive
Sexual feelings don't disappear as you age. Here's how to keep the flame burning.
By Mayo Clinic staffSexual health is important at any age. And the desire for intimacy is timeless. While sex may not be the same as it was in your 20s, it can still be as fulfilling as ever. Discover which aspects of sexual health are likely to change as you age — and how you and your partner can adapt.
Communication is key
To maintain a satisfying sex life, talk with your partner. Set aside time to be sensual and sexual together. When you're spending intimate time with your partner, share your thoughts about lovemaking. Help your partner understand what you want from him or her. Be honest about what you're experiencing physically and emotionally.
Sexual health and safe sex
People of all ages should know how to practice safe sex. If you're having sex with a new or different partner, always use a condom. Also talk with your doctor about other ways to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections.
If you're in a long-term monogamous relationship and you've both tested negative for sexually transmitted infections, you probably don't need to worry about protection. Until you know for sure, however, use a condom when you have sex.
Aging and men's sexual health
Testosterone plays a critical role in a man's sexual experience. Testosterone levels peak in the late teens and then gradually decline. Most men notice a difference in their sexual response by age 60 to 65. The penis may take longer to become erect, and erections may not be as firm. It may take longer to achieve full arousal and to have orgasmic and ejaculatory experiences. Erectile dysfunction also becomes more common. Several medications are available to help men achieve or sustain an adequate erection for sexual activity.
Aging and women's sexual health
As women approach menopause, their estrogen levels decrease, which may lead to vaginal dryness and slower sexual arousal. Women may experience emotional changes as well. While some women may enjoy sex more without worrying about pregnancy, naturally occurring changes in body shape and size may cause others to feel less sexually desirable.

5/25/2000: Commission Chairman Voices Disappointment with House Vote on China Trade |
Contact: The Chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom today expressed regret over the House vote to grant China Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) status without requiring China to show "substantial improvement" on religious freedom. Such a standard was a major recommendation of the Commission's first Annual Report, issued May 1. "I am disappointed that the House decided to forgo the opportunity that the PNTR vote afforded to require that China show improvement in religious freedom," Rabbi David Saperstein said. "That's especially needed given the serious deterioration in religious freedom in China over the past year." The House vote was the crucial one, he noted, since most political observers believe the measure will easily pass the Senate. "There is a risk that the PNTR vote will be misinterpreted in China as a sign of American indifference to violations of religious freedom there," Chairman Saperstein said. "House approval of PNTR therefore makes it even more critical that Congress act to express its support for religious freedom in that country. We hope that Congress will now address some of the recommendations made in our report." He noted that the passage of the Levin-Bereuter amendment creating a commission to study China's human rights performance and report annually is a step in the right direction. Among other actions the U.S. should now take: -- Undertake a multilateral campaign to seek the release of arrested or detained Chinese religious leaders; -- Increase its efforts, from the President on down, to pass a censure resolution against China in the United Nations Commission on Human Rights; -- Increase exchange opportunities and radio broadcasts for the Muslim Uighur minority in Xinjiang; -- Use its influence to ensure that China is not selected as a site for the Olympic Games until it makes significant improvements in human rights, including religious freedom. In addition, Congress should invite the Dalai Lama, a symbol of the struggle for religious freedom in the face of China's repression, to address a joint session of Congress; The U.S. should also continue to press China on the five standards that the Commission set forth for granting PNTR, Saperstein noted:
The Chinese Foreign Ministry in recent weeks has used the old saw that no one has the right to interfere in China's "internal affairs," Saperstein said. "We and others are not interfering in internal affairs; we are demanding that China live up to the international commitments it has undertaken, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees freedom of religion and belief." Saperstein said the Commission hopes Congress and the administration will study and implement its recommendations regarding China. "In the meantime, we will continue to monitor the condition of religious freedom in China and will make additional recommendations as the situation warrants."

Not all news about American education is awash in doom and gloom. Some of it is downright exciting. And some of the exciting stuff is in our own backyard.
A prime example is the decline in the dropout rate in Cumberland and Robeson county schools. It is plunging. Dramatically. The smaller numbers - which are in a steady decline - have nothing but positive implications for other key statistics, like poverty and the crime rate.
In Cumberland County's public schools, 436 students - or 2.63 percent - dropped out in the 2011-2012 school year, down from 516 the previous year and 650 the year before that. In three years, the dropout rate has gone from exceeding the state average to falling well under it.
Now travel south a bit for more good news: Robeson County's dropout rate is plummeting, too. In the 2007-2008 academic year, it was 6.29 percent. Last year, it was 2.71 percent, also nicely below the state's average of 3.01 percent.
How did it happen? Not by accident, although there is a statewide downward trend in the dropout rate. Both local school systems went far beyond their usual efforts to ratchet the rates down.
Cumberland hired social workers to find dropouts and try to get them back into the classroom. The system held fairs for dropouts and worked hard to target and save at-risk students.
The Robeson schools developed alternative study programs for at-risk students and even set up a Mobile Crisis Unit to help students with the kinds of problems - crime, medical, poverty - that often lead to dropping out.
Leaders of both school systems are pleased with the results of their efforts but acknowledge that it's not enough.
Dropping out of school is a recipe for disaster, whether it's one student or 1,000. It is a life that will not reach its potential, a citizen who almost inevitably ends up in a safety net - the criminal justice system or social services, and probably both. A dropout will be a drain on society. A graduate most likely will be a contributor.
We hope both school systems continue to succeed in this mission, and that others learn a lesson from them.

Referring to the editorial broadcast in 10/08/2012:
Your assertions today that the recent jobs report is a
cooked-up creation of the DOL came as a surprise to me, given that experts
cited on Face the Nation, broadcast on your station yesterday morning, clearly
and unequivocally said the numbers could not be faked. They cited the complex
derivation of the report and flatly stated that the report was above board.
I have to wonder, in your view and those of your ilk, why
the books were not cooked earlier in the campaign.
Give us a break!

I would have to say that my favorite "GOOD GUY"is Harry. Why?, well,how could Harry not be your favorite.
My favorite "BAD GUY" or should I say Lady,is the Lady Karen. Why?,She just...I just...
July 7th, 2004, 02:57 PM #27
My fave has got to be Harry, cos of his warmth.
I quite liked Nathan as well, but I didn't feel the love for him that I did for Harry, plus i couldn't stop thinking why didn't Nathan talk to the Dweller.
I would have liked to get to know the Dweller better as well
July 10th, 2004, 02:58 AM #28
My favorite ever since I read it, Has to be Radu, why because I loved, His finishing move to Fransico(I know I didn't spell that right).
My other favorite was Nester only friend and ally, Canker. But that's because I was more into werewolves long before I ever heard of Brian Lumley. But Ann Rices books on vampires never gave me the kick that I was use to. But Brian Lumley is a very good writer. I own all but 3 of the necro saga now. But Here in colorado, it's alittle harder to find fastasy books outside of a libery, without ordering them online.
Anyway, back on subtect. Radu is my favorite most because of his finish move(I guess is what you can call it). Canker because he's more like me, then any other character I have found in his books. Meaning Loves music, and is far weird then most of his kind.
July 20th, 2004, 02:50 PM #29
That's a pretty strange picture you've painted of yourself there Arkatin, likening yourself to Canker, I'm sure you'll fit in nicely here!
Back to topic - I still can't decide!Where's the Derby Dumpling?!

For some reason I liked Korath the best (after he died), he had a cool sense of twisted humour
September 2nd, 2004, 05:54 PM #32
Of course this one's difficult for there are so many amazing characters. But if I had to narrow it down.........I'd have to go with Faethor. Mostly because of unrelenting will to continue in some way. Also he's one of few to make Harry keep his guard up even after death.

For the hero, I would have to say Nathan. He was full vulnerability, naive as hell, but powerful in the end.
For the villian, it would have to be Radu Lykan, due to the cohones he showed as an ascending lord and the way he dispatched of Francesco Ferenzcy.

I'm new here and to Necroscope. But Faethor, by far is my favorite.He took a horrible situation and turned it to his favor by will alone and continued to struggle to the very end. Personally I would have been crying like a baby.

Let's see, my favorite Necroscope/Vampire World/E-Branch characters.
I loved Darcy Clark, Ben Trask and of course Harry but who doesn't love Harry?
Favorite Wamphyri of all was Canker though. I just loved his 'crazy like a fox' madness.
I also grew quite attached to Nathan by the end of the Vampire World trilogy.
Still not sure if I like Jake Cutter or not. I think I'm due for a reread of the E-Branch Trilogy. Maybe after NaNoWriMo I'll have time for it. =)
November 16th, 2004, 11:06 PM #40
Out of all the Wamphyri, Thibor was my favorite. Ben Trask followed closley by Feathor as the hero.

I have an OCZ modstream 450 Watt, acutally I've had two of them. The first one died roughly 2-3 weeks after I bought it. I waited for the replacement to come from newegg everything worked great for about 3 weeks. Then this one died. What the hell? I thought OCZ was supposed to be good? I have a $35 Raidmax that's less delicate than this. It's been chugging along for 5 months without failing. So any thoughts about why my power supplies keep failing?
I think it's the 20ft extension cord I have my computer plugged into (shhh don't tell OCZ). I'm living in an apartment that the university gave me to me at a reduced rate because they ran out of dorm rooms. The complex is going to be torn down within the next 2-3 years and there are no grounded power outlets in my room. So I have to run an extension cord from one of only two grounded outlets in the apartment.
About half year ago there was at least one manufacturing batch of OCZ ModStream power supplies (450W and 520W), which broke when using Serial ATA hard drives. It was a "bug" in the SATA power cable, and it caused a BOOM for the psu. Maybe you got couple psus from this kind of batches? But it really sounds crazy, if the same bug would still excist...
How would I check the fuse without tearing it apart and thus voiding the warranty? If you're talking about the main breaker for the apartment complex I don't have access to that, but since the outlet still works I imagine it didn't trip. Anyway, I'm sure it's the power supply since my venerable raidmax piece of crap still works . Thanks though
I would still try to measure the PSUs outputs using multimeter. Just plug the PSU alone to electricity and measure the cables that are to be plugged into mobo. There is still some chance that they are not dead since there has been no fireshow It should be caused forexample by your case's power switch.
what you should check if you had problems with other apliances, bad TV reception, cracking and poping in your stereos, having to change lightbolbs quite often, could be that the electrical supply to your house or electrical in house install has problems, in that case you should get a normal cheap UPS to filter out the current, one day one of those psus is going to take out parts of your machine aswell
That's what I'm worried about. This apartment complex was built in the 50's and has almost no upgrade in wiring. The little bit that has been upgraded was done very poorly. I have an okay surge protector. Should I really invest in a UPS? Would this one be okay?
the problem with a surge protector is that it only removes peaks, it does nothing for irregular current, brownouts (when power still flows but tension is below optimal or needed values) you can get whatever you want, as always, APC is the best you can get, but also expencive all you need is any UPS with a battery, just one detail, some have switches that give the device connected to the UPS direct from socket power when there is power and then give it battery power when the socket goes dead, you might want to avoid those, you need something that will feed the computer from the battery and keep charging the battery from the socket have the battery act as a buffer, and the battery will always give a constant and clean 110V. walmart.... somewhat i feel dirty now for having visited their page. forget that wallmark piece of chinese junk (no offence to our chinese readers) http://apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=21#anchor1 39.95, lifetime warranty, full protection, i rather pay 5 bucks more and have a APC,
While I'm sure they are well worth $$$. I'm a college student and don't have $$$ to spend on a UPS. In fact, $$$ would probably empty my bank account at this moment. how about one of these though? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16842101124 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16842107109
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16842107109 this one has the longer bat life and will do for standard home usage looks good for the money
the thing is, APC has a lifetime warranty, and your problem isnt power outages, its irregular current, the APC deals better with that, pay the extra buck, get the APC
I probably will end up buying the APC, lifetime warranties are nice and I've never heard of opti-ups. It makes sense that irregular current could be killing my power supply. What I don't understand is why the better power supply would die every three weeks while the cheap POS has "worked" for months. Could the OCZ be sacrificing itself to prevent damage to my computer?
"Could the OCZ be sacrificing itself to prevent damage to my computer" hmm.. altruistic hardware hey.. he he.. come on dude.. rationalizations as to why good hardware aint quite as good as its made out to be can only be carried so far.. he he trog
Yeah, more that likely the OCZ power supply is an overhyped POS and that's why it's failing. I'm hoping it's not, but the evidence certainly points that way.
i almost forgut something, the grounding line, you can get a grounding line from almost everywhere, water and heat piping, aluminim and steel window frames, with a simple copper wire hooked up, you can get ground, you can test by touching your computer case and several pipes, when you feel the buzz, or the zap in some cases, you found ground, (carefull, could fry equipment or you). btw, have you opened any of your burnt OCZ PSU´s, it could be that all they need is a fuse replacment.
If I open the power supply I believe I void the warranty. If I modify the wiring I have to pay a $250 fine to the university for damaging the apartment. Frogger I have less than $300 period there is no place I can go to get more and I still owe the school $1000. I just can't afford to spend $100 plus on a power supply right now. Maybe this summer when I'm not in school and am making more money but even then..... Next power supply I try will be an APC though okay
well if u need a cheap alternative try the TT420 watter. 18a on the 12v+ and as many leads as you could possibly need. about $40 shipped from newegg too...
The OCZ has a three year warranty and I already have an RMA number. Why should I buy another power supply. I'm happy with it when it works.
