That earlier post about the Islamic State possibly having "trained soldiers" in Illinois reminded me of a certain comment left on the popular Chicago police blog Second City Cop last August.
Chiming in on a discussion about Chicago potentially being a top target of terrorists after a security bulletin was issued in light of the threat posed by the Islamic State:

No wonder that "dangerous" label was assigned to Paladin. Yet while dangerous to some, highly-informative and incredibly-interesting material to a number of Survival And Prosperity readers, I'm guessing.

About That 'Sniper Nest' In Chicago
Sorry FOX 32 News in Chicago. As much as I like watching you on TV on weekday mornings (Jake Hamilton, Darlene Hill, Jon Kelley, Melody Mendez are particularly good), whoever penned the following on your website on June 30 needs to be flogged.
The offending article…
Sniper nest discovered near Kennedy-King College
The Chicago Police Department made a frightening discovery on the South Side of the city last week.
Officials say they found a high-powered semi-automatic weapon about a block from the campus of Kennedy King college, near 64th and Lowe last Thursday. Officers say the nest was found on top of a garage across from a soccer field on campus.
At the scene, officers recovered a fully loaded Mac-10…
"Sniper nest?" "High-powered semi-automatic weapon?" "Mac-10?"
I could've sworn the piece originally said "high-powered semi-automatic rifle" when I first read it. But I see it was updated on July 1.
Consider what Elizabeth Kreft reported on TheBlaze website that same day:
The weapon officers recovered at the scene wasn't a rifle but a fully loaded Mac-10.
"I'm not sure why they are calling it a sniper's nest, it was a machine gun, not a rifle," Officer Mike Sullivan, Chicago Police Department spokesman, told TheBlaze.
Sullivan said media members should look up the difference between a Mac-10 and a rifle. "They are very different," he said…
I was kidding with that bit about the author needing to be flogged. But I concur with the CPD- they definitely need to learn more about firearms (Guy Smith's free Gun Facts e-book is a good place to start) or risk "cheapening" the FOX 32 brand.
Not like I'm an expert on the subject of guns myself. But I'm not paid to write about such things.
Now if an unpaid intern wrote the article… lesson learned? I hope so. You'd be doing your future field of work and colleagues a favor.

Signs Of The Time, Part 75
In an era of stagnant wages and a rising cost of living, having a job doesn't guarantee an individual can make ends meet.
In the past, many Americans would rise to the challenge, finding and working a second or third job if that's what it took to put food on the table.
These days, it's just easier for able-bodied, able-minded men and women to latch onto the government "tit" rather than work.
And plenty do it- no doubt about that.
Enter Scott Carroll. A minor league baseball player when he shot the following two-and-a-half years ago, this Kansas City, Missouri-native proclaimed to the world he would do whatever was required to eke out a living:
"Scott Carroll Will Endorse ANYTHING!"
YouTube Video
Okay, so Carroll was just having a good time and probably wasn't hurting as much as many other Americans as a professional baseball player. But there's still an important lesson to be taken away from this funny video:
Scott Carroll just recently made his big-league debut for the Chicago White Sox at age 29.
I doubt his TV pitchman skills got this right-handed pitcher to where he's at today.
Hard work, perhaps?
Welcome to the majors- and Chicago- Mr. Carroll.

Pepper Spray Humor
Speaking of pepper spray, here's a funny comment I saw the other day for one pepper spray product listed on Amazon.com, the world's largest online retailer:
This is now legal in Michigan. Is a foaming spray so you will see it shoot and harder to wipe off. Has a dye added so the person will be marked for days after you spray them. You want a foam so the wind does not blow it back in your face. Has a very good finger safety so you will not set it off easily. Can is a good size and will do the job for sure…. when the attacker falls to the ground be sure to kick the in the head because they need a good kick in the head so they truly know they are stupid
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
Think Amazon may have removed a not-so-nice term after "be sure to kick the" and before "in the head"?

Chicago Strong-Arm Robbery Thwarted 'Crocodile Dundee'-Style
One of my readers sent me a link to an article about a witness to a recent strong-arm robbery at a CTA station who pulled out a large knife to successfully prevent the criminal from escaping. Rachel Cromidas reported on the Chicago Tribune website on October 18:
A box cutter-wielding man was arrested for robbing a woman at a CTA station Thursday after a witness pulled a knife to prevent him from escaping, county prosecutors said.
"Mine is bigger than yours," the witness said to the man as he ran through the Red Line Harrison Street Station with a woman's cell phone and Ventra card, according to court records.
It's a somewhat funny story, which made me think of that famous knife scene out of the 1986 film Crocodile Dundee. Although the robbery victim did get bit on the hand by the robber, which isn't humorous.
In the meantime, more information has come out about the incident. The Tribune's Rosemary Regina Sobol wrote later on about Joel and Andrew Leach, two brothers from Joliet who were responsible for foiling the robbery. Good stuff, which you can read on the Trib site here.
A couple of things about the incident though.
First, in the Sobol piece, the robbery victim, a new resident from Thailand, confided:
"I was scared, but I thought everything that is important is in my cellphone," she said. "Everything about my family is inside it and credit card numbers. So I cannot lose it. I tried to get it back."
You don't need me to tell you it's probably not a very good idea to keep information like that on something that's routinely lost or stolen. I can lose my cellphone today and and barely break a sweat over it- and what's "inside" of it.
Second, in the Sobol article both Andrew and Joel Leach pose for a photo. Leach brothers my butt. They look like the "Bronson Brothers" (referring to actor Charles Bronson of the Death Wish film series-fame) if you ask me. I like it.
Finally, I can't help but think Good Samaritans like the Leaches scare the bejesus out of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Department Superintendent Garry McCarthy, who might see them more as meddling vigilantes than do-gooders, and fear they might inspire others to react in the same manner when criminals prey on their fellow human beings and the police aren't around to stop it. For Emanuel and McCarthy, calling 911 and waiting for law enforcement to arrive would seem to be their answer for incidents like this.
Anyway, nice job Bronson Brothers.

You may have heard about the homecoming queen with a gun in the 80s.
Now there's this story of an alleged bomb-throwing beauty queen out in Riverton, Utah. From Salt Lake City's FOX 13 News website earlier this week:
A beauty queen and her friends are in trouble with the law after authorities say they made and threw explosive devices in Riverton…
Late Friday night, cops found several water bottles with aluminum fragments and chemical residue at two homes near 13800 South and 4100 West. The suspects reportedly threw these homemade bombs onto driveways then sped off.
"4 charged for throwing explosive devices from car"

Signs Of The Time, Part 61
Late last night I took some "me" time to watch the remake of that 1984 cult classic Red Dawn. I blogged back on August 13, 2012:
"Cold Warriors" might remember the flick, which incidentally was the first film to be released with a PG-13 rating. From the IMDb website:
It is the dawn of World War III. In mid-western America, a group of teenagers bands together to defend their town, and their country, from invading Soviet forces.
I also added:
On November 21, 2012- the day before Thanksgiving- Red Dawn 2012 will be released in American movie theaters. According to the IMDb storyline:
A group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of North Korean soldiers.
North Korea?
Already, some are saying that the People's Republic of China with its fast-growing military should have been cast as America's fictitious adversary in the remake.
Or even the bad-a** Russians (Soviets) again.
But according to Wikipedia:
In June 2010, release of the film was delayed due to MGM's financial difficulties. The delay came amid growing controversy in China after excerpts of the script were leaked on the website The Awl. The film drew sharp criticism from the Global Times, one of the leading Chinese state-run newspapers, with headlines such as "U.S. reshoots Cold War movie to demonize China" and "American movie plants hostile seeds against China." One of the articles stated: "China can still feel U.S. distrust and fear, especially among its people. Americans' suspicions about China are the best ground for the hawks to disseminate fear and doubt, which is the biggest concern with the movie, Red Dawn…
In March 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported that MGM is changing the villains in its Red Dawn remake from Chinese to North Korean in order to maintain access to China's lucrative box office.
So, North Korea became the "new" bad guys.
But get a load what was printed up on the Netflix DVD sleeve label:
"When Chinese military forces invade…"
Too funny.
As for the 2013 remake- not bad. I was pleasantly surprised that the storyline wasn't exactly the same as the original movie. However, the movie ended somewhat abruptly, I thought. Still, the film was better than I expected. I especially liked the North Korean invasion scene- my butt popped off the couch for that part. And Kalashnikov aficionados will be impressed by the prolific use of AK-variants in the movie.

On TV: The Simpsons 'Preppers' Episode
So I finally got the chance Monday to watch season 24, episode 9 of The Simpsons, "Homer Goes to Prep School." In this installment of the popular animated sitcom on FOX, Homer prepares for "doomsday." Originally airing back on January 6, the show portrays preppers as extreme and relentlessly pokes fun of them, but should anyone really be surprised considering this is a cartoon we're talking about here? Regardless, I was laughing my butt off a couple of times during the episode. The Simpsons creative staff really nailed some of the more humorous elements associated with the movement. For example, the outlandish "why we prep" movies found in droves on YouTube (not all are hogwash, mind you). Most modern survivalists I've encountered don't come off anywhere near as goofy as the ones portrayed on the show. If preppers are willing to remember that The Simpsons is purely entertainment/humor, they might enjoy watching "Home Goes to Prep School," which can be viewed in it entirety on the FOX website here for a limited time only.

We are running Weblogic Server 5.1.0 service pack 8 on HPUX 11 servers in our production environment. Weblogic is the web front end with an LDAP piece for user verification. At times, Weblogic hangs up and does not recover. My theory is that it is a problem with threads. So, I am looking for a monitoring tool that will give me the status of the threads inside Weblogic. The program would need to be able to display the status in a graph and be able to store the results so that I can look at past history for patterns, etc. The JDK version we are using is 1.2.2.07 and we have a HotSpot Virtual Machine. The monitoring tool would need to run on my desktop (Windows NT) and connect to the Unix servers to monitor them. I have tried unnsuccessfully Sitraka's software, JProbe Threadalyzer and the Glance Utility is not robust enough. Please let me know if you know of a program that fits the above description.

It's woof at the top.
White House dog Bo has his own Christmas video, and in it he's seen inspecting the decorations until he comes across a fluffy version of himself.
The video was made to highlight the White House Holiday celebrations which include tributes to troops, veterans and military families.
But really to us it just highlights how super cute Bo is. The Portuguese water dog was given to President Obama and his family 4 years ago and he seems pretty chilled out.
Let's hope that Bo doesn't leave any special presents of his own lying around.
Dad's got his eye on you.
Happy Holidays.

Dr Dipatri has been awesome... he helped us make a decision to have nerve grafting done on my daughter. after talking with 3 other Dr's Dr DiPatri made us feel like we knew what was best for her. He performed the surgery and now 6 months later we are seeing our little girl moving her arm and hand. He has been wonderful in helping us understand what has happened and what to expect in the future... he has been 100% accurate in his predictions of her recovery ( she has actually surpassed already)...We never have to wait more than 5 minutes and he and his staff are the best Dr's we have ever encountered ...

Dr. Dipatri was called in by another Dr. at the spine clinic at Children's after 2 doctor's had already said our daughter would need neck surgery. Dr. Dipatri's exam was much more thorough than the others. Next he asked for more xrays and MRI's to be done. After looking at these, examining her again and asking her many questions, he opted for no surgery and took more of a wait and see stance. As it turned out, he was correct, she did not need surgery! She is completely fine now and we made it to this point with no invasive surgeries! It is because of Dr. Dipatri's thoroughness that our daughter was spared an unnecessary surgery that two other doctors were eager to do on her. In addition to this, Dr. Dipatri was wonderful with her, she warmed right up to him. Also, he was mindful of our time and our anxiety in helping us to schedule things quickly and get results quickly. We highly recommend Dr. Dipatri!

Dr. DiPatri is a wonderful man and surgeon! He performed spinal surgery on our infant son. During this stressful time for our family, Dr. DiPatri was kind, thorough, and the surgery went wonderfully. He explained everything along the way in great detail and even called us at home one night from his personal cell phone at 9pm just so we wouldn't have to wait until the next day to get some highly anticpated test results back. I honestly wish this man could be my son's pediatrician!

About the Event
Relaxing through Breath and Movement, an Introduction to Yantra Yoga, the Tibetan Yoga of Movement with Naomi Zeitz, authorized second level instructor.
The word Yantra is a Sanskrit word, can mean geometrical form, like a mandala, or it can mean movement of the body. In Tibetan we say trulkhor, which means movement. We use movement to coordinate or guide our prana, or vital energy.
This uninterrupted lineage of Yantra Yoga is a fundamental method to integrate the profound essence of the Dzogchen Teaching in the three doors (body, voice and mind) of the practitioner. Through positions and movements combined with breathing, one's energy is coordinated and harmonized so as to let the mind relax and find its authentic balance, which is the basis for contemplation.
Everyone is welcome!
Please wear loose clothing and bring a mat and cushion.
N.B If you attended Fabio Andrico's Introduction to Yantra Yoga in on October 29th, this will be a perfect class to follow up with.
If you have not taken any classes in Yantra Yoga this will be a perfect place to begin!
Sunday 9th December; 10:00am - noon, 3pm - 5pm

15* AL Sunday No-Doubt Rout on Los Angeles Angels -145
15* AL Sunday No-Doubt Rout on Los Angeles Angels -145
LA Angels vs. Seattle, 05/27/2012 16:10 EDT, Score: 4 - 2
Money Line: -145 LA Angels
Sportsbook: BETONLINE
Result: Win
I've been riding the Los Angeles Angels during their 5-game winning streak. I'm going to back them to win a sixth straight Sunday against the overmatched Seattle Mariners. The Angels have outscored the opposition 22-8 during their winning streak behind dominant pitching.
I see that domination on the mound continuing Sunday with C.J. Wilson, who was an excellent addition to the Angels' rotation this offseason. Wilson is 5-4 with a 2.90 ERA and 1.153 WHIP in 10 starts this season, 3-2 with a 2.65 ERA at home, and 1-1 with a 1.56 ERA over his last three outings.
Hector Noesi is just 2-5 with a 5.26 ERA in nine starts this season for Seattle. Wilson is 27-6 against the money line as a favorite of -125 to -175 over the last 2 seasons. The Mariners are 14-37 in their last 51 home games vs. a left-handed starter. Seattle is 24-55 in their last 79 games vs. a left-handed starter overall. Take the Angels Sunday.

Brachycephalic dogs have unique upper respiratory anatomy with abnormal breathing patterns similar to those in humans with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between anatomical components, clinical signs and several biomarkers, used to determine systemic inflammation and myocardial damage (C-reactive protein, CRP; Haptoglobin, Hp; cardiac troponin I, cTnI), in dogs with brachycephalic upper airway obstructive syndrome (BAOS).
Fifty brachycephalic dogs were included in the study and the following information was studied: signalment, clinical signs, thoracic radiographs, blood work, ECG, components of BAOS, and CRP, Hp and cTnI levels. A high proportion of dogs with BAOS (88%) had gastrointestinal signs. The prevalence of anatomic components of BAOS was: elongated soft palate (100%), stenotic nares (96%), everted laryngeal saccules (32%) and tracheal hypoplasia (29.1%). Increased serum levels of biomarkers were found in a variable proportion of dogs: 14% (7/50) had values of CRP > 20 mg/L, 22.9% (11/48) had values of Hp > 3 g/L and 47.8% (22/46) had levels of cTnI > 0.05 ng/dl. Dogs with everted laryngeal saccules had more severe respiratory signs (p<0.02) and higher values of CRP (p<0.044). No other statistical association between biomarkers levels and severity of clinical signs was found.
According to the low percentage of patients with elevated levels of CRP and Hp, BAOS does not seem to cause an evident systemic inflammatory status. Some degree of myocardial damage may occur in dogs with BAOS that can be detected by cTnI concentration.

News Release
Harper Government increases protection for Canada's water quality
DELTA, B.C. – July 18, 2012 – Today, Canada's Environment Minister, the Honourable Peter Kent, and Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Denis Lebel, announced that the Government of Canada has established an important safeguard for the country's water quality, by implementing Wastewater System Effluent Regulations.
"We want water that is clean, safe and plentiful for future generations of Canadians to enjoy," said Minister Kent. "Through these Regulations, we are addressing one of the largest sources of pollution in our waters. We've set the country's first national standards for sewage treatment. These standards will reduce the levels of harmful substances deposited to surface water from wastewater systems in Canada."
"Safe and reliable wastewater infrastructure is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of families, residents and local business," said Minister Lebel. "These Regulations will contribute to Canada's economic future and help to protect the environment."
The Government of Canada worked with provinces and territories, and also engaged municipalities, to finalize these regulations. It is expected that about 75 percent of existing wastewater systems already meet the minimum secondary wastewater treatment standards in the Regulations. Communities and municipalities that meet the standards will not need to make upgrades to their systems. The other 25 percent will have to upgrade to at least secondary wastewater treatment.
"These standards will ensure untreated and under-treated sewage are not dumped in our country's waterways," said Minister Kent. "The estimated benefits to Canadians and our economy include improving fish and aquatic systems health, and increasing safety for recreational activities that are part of our tourism industry."
For the wastewater systems that do not meet the new standards, there will be time for municipalities to plan and budget funds to complete the upgrades. Wastewater systems posing a high risk must meet the new standards by the end of 2020; those posing medium risk by the end of 2030; and those with low risk by the end of 2040. Owners and operators of the systems will also need to consistently monitor and submit reports on their effluent releases.
Improved water quality is expected to increase property values and reduce water supply costs for municipalities and industry. The new effluent standards align Canada with both the United States and the European Union.

In the comments on a recent post about peer pressure, I mentioned a quote that I'd edited from the original draft. (I write a lot of stuff that doesn't make it into final articles. It's as if there should be "bonus features" for GRS, like on DVDs.)
Anyhow, I re-read John T. Reed's Succeeding recently, and was struck by this passage, which does an excellent job of encapsulating my current philosophy on frugality. Reed writes:
[Frugality] is a necessary evil early in your adult life — like getting an education. Most people are never frugal and, as a result, never rich either. A few people are rich as a result of frugality, but they never stop being frugal, so what's the point? They live like poor people their whole lives.
The correct approach is to start out frugal when you first go out on your own, then gradually shift to an enjoy-life mode where you live up to your means.
Note that Reed never says to live beyond your means. You live below them until you're established. Once things are running smoothly, it's okay to spend on the things and experiences that make you happy.
I'm reminded of my own love of comic books. I used to buy comics, even when I couldn't afford them. I went into debt and was unhappy. As I worked to overcome my debt, I cut my comic book habit. Now that I'm out of debt and building wealth, I've allowed myself to begin buying comic books again. This makes me happy — and as long as I'm not spending beyond my means, everything's okay.
What do you think? Is frugality a means to an end? Or is it an end in and of itself? Is frugality a necessary evil — or is it a way of life?
Note: By coincidence, Trent at The Simple Dollar just posted an article breaking down the numbers on why frugality works. And just to be clear: I think frugality is an important part of personal finance, not matter which stage you're in. But as I'll discuss on Monday, balance is important.

Home Remodeling Contractors
The BBB suggests that you solicit two or three bids for the remodeling work you are planning. Do not automatically accept the lowest offer. Make sure all bids are based on the same set of specifications and materials to be used. Ask for local references and inspect the finished projects. Check to see if the contractor is a member of a professional association which has standards for members. Make sure the contractor is in compliance with all local licensing, bonding, and insurance requirements, and that any necessary building permit is obtained.
Never sign a blank or partially blank contract. Typically a down payment of one-third of the total contract price is made with additional payments made after completion of each phase of work; final payment should not be made until work is completed and you have inspected the work. If the contractor arranges financing for the remodeling work to be done, be sure you understand all aspects of the financial terms, especially if a second mortgage of your home is used as security for the remodeling work. You may want to inquire about inserting an arbitration clause into your contract in case of any dispute between you and your contractor.
Quick Check List-
Before selecting a remodeling contractor, you should do the following:
* Plan your project from start to finish;
* Be specific in explaining exactly what you want;
* Be sure to approve any architectural plans that are involved before the contract work begins;
* Compare costs before making a financial commitment;
* Discuss bids in detail with each contractor;
* Ask the contractor for local references and find out if he or she is a member of a professional remodelers association;
* Contact the BBB to learn how long a contractor has been in business;
* Find out if a contractor is insured against claims covering worker's compensation, property damage, and personal liability;
* Check with state, county, or city housing authorities to be sure that a contractor meets all area licensing/bonding requirements.

Fedora Core2 server.
This is currently on a new isolated (standalone) network.
In the LHN How-To's it mentions copying files the chroot jail, but it also says Fedora never uses them.
I'm confused... so I'll ask some ?
1) should i use the Fedora DNS tool ?
2) i was looking at Webmin, will it help ? It sure looks good.
3) what are best 'tools' that will help configure, validate, test, etc ?
4) didn't see any mention of DHCP update, which I'd like to do from the localhost. Did I miss something ?
Final goal is to implement single sign-on for Linux, IRIX, SUN, windurz,
samba, NFS.

The Lakes Region
The Lakes Region is a summertime haven for fishermen, families and fun. But there is something to offer in every season, from skiing and ice fishing in the winter to a fall foliage flood of color for "leaf peepers" in the autumn. It is home to America's first summer resort, Wolfeboro, thanks to Governor Wentworth, who in 1763 built a summer home on the shores of Lake Wentworth.
Each year motorcyclists of all shapes, sizes and walks of life descend on Laconia for the annual "motorcycle week". The event draws hundreds of thousands of bikes and tourists to the area; some come for the races at nearby New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but most just come to admire the chrome.
The lakes truly define this region of the state. Of the 273 lakes and ponds in this area, Winnipesaukee is the crown jewel. The largest lake in the state at 72 square miles, Winnipesaukee has it all. Scuba dive in 213 feet of water, take a scenic train ride via the HOBO Scenic Railroad or a cruise around the lake on the M/S Mount Washington in Center Harbor; rent a canoe and straddle the perimeter of the lake or swim at the popular Weirs Beach.
For a little less hustle and bustle, try Newfound Lake in Bridgewater, known for its pristine waters, 22 miles of shoreline and the sandy beach at Wellington State Beach. The Lake Ossipee region offers an unspoiled wilderness and crystal clear lakes and rivers. Or, head to the Squam Lakes natural spring-fed waters, where the movie "On Golden Pond" was filmed. Nearby Holderness is home to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, a 200-acre sanctuary for wildlife and exploration of the natural world.
The countryside here is not only decorated with mountains and lakes. You can take a step back in time at the historic Canterbury Shaker Village, tour the historic mansion known as the "Castle in the Clouds" in Moultonborough or feast on an ice cream buffet at Kellerhaus at Weirs Beach.
Shoppers will find a variety of antique shops and country stores along winding back roads. The Tanger Outlet Center's tax-free shopping is a Mecca for those looking for bargains on brand-names such as Coach, Banana Republic and Yankee Candle.
The Lakes Region offers something for everyone, in every season. Explore the small towns and back roads of this magical place and you'll find a reason to keep coming back.

Traumatic Brain Injury Antioxidant Study (Pro-NAC Study)
Overcoming Membrane Transporters to Improve CNS Drug Delivery - Improving Brain Antioxidants After Traumatic Brain Injury
Protocol Description
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the safety of pharmacological therapies that may potentially improve pediatric outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBIs are the leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults. Researchers hope to demonstrate that combinational therapy with a membrane transporter and antioxidant are safe after TBI and can help overcome barriers to the brain, synergistically improving bioavailability and efficacy of the antioxidant content of the body and central nervous system after TBI.
Eligibility Criteria
Subject to certain exclusion criteria, this study is enrolling patients of both genders between the ages of 2 to 18 years who have been admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC with severe TBI.
Females: Ages 2 to 18 years
Males: Ages 2 to 18 years
Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or a combination of probenecid and N-acetyl cysteine (Pro-NAC) via nasogastric or orogastric tube for 3 days. Patients will be monitored for drug safety and to measure antioxidant reserve in serum and cerebral spinal fluid with the presumption that maintaining antioxidant levels within the brain may be neuroprotective.
Visits: Occurs while patient is in the PICU
Duration: PICU length of stay
Status: Open for Enrollment

Document Number: 7425Hidden Benefits: The Impact of High School Graduation on Household Wealth - Several recent reports have highlighted the earnings gap between high school graduates and dropouts; however, earnings tell only part of the story. Families rely on income from salary for regular expenses, but real economic security requires accumulated wealth. Household wealth, also known as �assets,� is broadly defined as the accumulation of investments that appreciate over time. Education can be the key to higher earnings, but it is even more importantly linked to the accumulation of assets. On average, households headed by a high school graduate accumulate 10 times more wealth than households headed by a high school dropout. (Alliance for Excellent Education, February 2007) ...

Amid growing speculation over the collapse of the euro, British embassies are now preparing for worst-case scenarios, such as riots and civil unrest. The Telegraph reported, "British embassies in the eurozone have been told to draw up plans to help British expats through the collapse of the single currency, amid new fears for Italy and Spain. As the Italian government struggled to borrow and Spain considered seeking an international bail-out, British ministers privately warned that the break-up of the euro, once almost unthinkable, is now increasingly plausible."
The euro's endangerment comes as the International Monetary Fund, of which Britain is a large shareholder, may be forced to give Italy a rescue package that would allow its new Prime Minister, Mario Monti, time to implement tax increases and spending cuts.
Likewise, revelations indicate that a pact has been struck between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy that did not include Britain, nor did it include countries outside the European Union. Under that plan, EU member states will be forced to have their budgets approved by the European Union before even being approved by their own national parliaments. Likewise, countries will have to sign on to new rules on the size of debts they may take on and will be sued in the European Court of Justice for any breach of those rules.

A 69-year-old Taylor man was seriously injured in a crash involving a motorcycle he was riding Saturday morning on N. Dixie Hwy. that was struck by another vehicle in Frenchtown Township. Monroe County Sheriff Dale Malone reported the accident occurred at about 10:56 a.m. on N. Dixie near Monrona Dr.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Dakota Tehotsirate-Piscopink Frazier, 21, of Monroe was operating a 1988 Chevrolet Corvette on southbound N. Dixie preparing to make a left turn onto eastbound Monrona. Upon approaching the intersection, Mr.
Frazier made a left turn and failed to yield to a northbound 2002 BMW motorcycle operated by Lynn R. Skeans of Taylor. During the collision, Mr. Skeans was ejected from his motorcycle and struck a speed-limit sign post on the northeast corner of the intersection. Mr. Skeans, who was wearing a helmet, suffered serious injuries in the crash and was taken to Mercy Memorial Hospital in Monroe. The victim was listed in serious condition before he later was transferred to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo, by Life Flight Helicopter, Sheriff Malone said.
Mr. Frazier and his passenger, Mason J. Sovey, 19, of Monroe, were not injured in the crash.
Monroe Community Ambulance and firefighters from Berlin Township and the Village of Estral Beach assisted at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office-Traffic Services Division, along with Deputy Michael McClain of the CARs Division.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call Deputy Tim George at 240-7768.

One of those fires was at the Regatta apartment complex in Northglenn.
The fire started just before 8 a.m. Eight units were either destroyed or damaged. Two families with young children were left with nothing just days before Christmas.
Sadie Whitworth was ready for Christmas. She bought all of her gifts online so she wouldn't have to face the crowds at stores.
"I had it all wrapped and under the tree. All the windows were lit with Christmas lights and red bows," Whitworth said.
While Whitworth was at work Wednesday morning she got a call from her neighbor saying her apartment was on fire.
"I pulled in to the Regatta driveway and you could just see black smoke bellowing into the sky," Whitworth said.
Whitworth and her neighbor, Esperanza Robles, lost everything. Their two units received the most damage and they were the only families with young children in the complex.
Robles has three small kids. Just like Whitworth, she had all of her gifts wrapped and under the tree, but after the fire, she was left with nothing.
"Our apartments had our lives in it," Robles said. "It was where we were raising our family."
When Robles saw smoke she packed up her kids, grabbed their coats and left. Just like Whitworth, all of her belongings and Christmas gifts were burned.
In the midst of both families devastation, they were able to find the true meaning of the holiday season. They were able to realize what is really important in life.
"When you lose everything it hits home," Whitworth said. "You realize what you should be thankful for this time of year. It's not what's wrapped under the tree; it's who sits beside you."
Both families have set up a fund to help them in the days ahead.

Much attention has been focused on providing handicapped children with the least restrictive environment in which the child's needs could be met. For many exceptional children that environment will be the regular classroom. To reduce possible psychological restrictions in the learning environment, these exceptional children should be met with nonprejudicial attitudes by their peers in the mainstream.

With support from groups ranging from the Harvard Republicans to the Harvard Vegetarian Society, Undergraduate Council candidates Michael C. George '14 and Nicole E. Granath '15 have lined up the early endorsements of several campus organizations, which they hope will give them a crucial leg up when students begin voting Tuesday.
Fifteen student groups—many of which have personal ties to one or both candidates—have already thrown their support behind the ticket, far more groups than are backing any of their rivals.
But opponents warned against reading too much into the endorsements, saying many campus organizations had yet to choose a candidate, and that they were hoping they would soon receive backing as well.
"We're going to continue to solicit endorsements," said candidate Spenser Goodman '14, who has yet to receive any student group backing. "We're not going to change our platform. Hopefully people are receptive. We're just being who we are."
Yesterday George and Granath secured the endorsements of Latinas Unidas de Harvard College, the Harvard Parliamentary Debate Society, the Chess Club, and Harvard National Model United Nations.
George is the undersecrtary general of the group's general assembly. The ticket also picked up the backing of International Relations on Campus, the Harvard Program in International Education, and the LowKeys, an a capella group.
But it remains to be seen whether such endorsements will actually swing any votes.
George said he was picking up student-group support because of his platform, which calls for structural changes to the UC and improved communications.
"The reason an organization endorses is because they believe in our platform," George said.
"It most directly impacts life for student groups, which is why we want to try to represent a broad range of student groups."
One early-endorsing group that didn't go George's way is the Harvard College Law Society, a group for pre-laws whose more than 100 members make it one of the largest student organizations on campus.
After an extensive process of five meetings and a club-wide vote, the team of Tara Raghuveer '14 and Jen Q. Y. Zhu '14 won the unanimous backing of the society's board.
"We sent in votes by email. It worked out for me because Jen is my little penguin in Quincy House. But no one in the Law Society knew that," said Marygabrielle Prezioso '13, the co-president of the group.
As Raghuveer continues to meet with clubs and organizations, she said she finds the process of working with clubs to be a helpful step in preparing to hold a UC office.
"The best part is meeting face to face with the leaders of student groups in the context of their board and what concerns them the most," Raghuveer said.
