The skipper of the storeship was a Dutchman -- a chicken-hearted swab, who turned green at the sight of a nigger with a bunch of spears, or a club in his hand.
The most important of these, the hulk of the Gold Rush-era storeship General Harrison, was situated at the northwest corner of Clay and Battery streets, in the heart of the city's present-day Financial District.
This clay penny pipe was found during the excavation of the storeship the General Harrison.
So for example, where we found the buried hulk of the Gold Rush storeship General Harrison, or when we encounter a prehistoric site with human burials, like CA-SFR-114, there's no doubt that the client is going to curse the day he ever met me.
I asked that the admiral send a storeship there at once.
Two-thirds rations were a symptom of the fact that two years had gone by without a single ship from England; the long-awaited Guardian storeship which carried so much marine private property as well as tons of flour, salt meat, other provisions and animals had never arrived, and no one knew why.
The naval agent, Lieutenant John Shortland, was another had defected; he was in Fishburn the storeship, though one of his two sons was second mate in Alexander.
The reality was more like a year, which meant that the first storeship due would not come in time.
The big one is an old Navy storeship, the Berwick.
Then storeship Justinian had sailed in, to be followed at the end of the month by Surprize, Neptune and none other than Scarborough, on a second venture to New South Wales.

Taking the Fight To Where They Live (Prologue):
The Rude Pundit has been on a weeklong visit to the deepest, darkest nether regions of Red State America. When he first arrived, he was greeted by car after car on the highway near the airport still sporting "George Bush for President" bumper stickers. The Rude Pundit is a listener, an eavesdropper. In plate lunch joints and bars, he heard the same things over and over: about how great it was that the President was tough enough to fight the terrorists in Iraq. Hell, the fuckin' newspaper here, in an end of 2004 story on the soldiers from this region, directly stated that the war in Iraq was about avenging 9/11. How do you counter that kind of localized propaganda? But, you know, there's something interesting that happens whenever you engage anyone who believes these things in a conversation: they get really, really defensive about Bush. And not in a coherent way. And not even in the knee-jerk-"I-support-my-President" kind of way. No, it's more of an "I don't wanna talk about it - shutupshutupshutup" kind of way, with ears covered and eyes clenched shut. In other words, they know. They know it's all been a huge failure. But they don't wanna know. And it's just easier to pretend that everything's fantabulous than face that horror, that abyss, of mistrust, of awareness of one's own complicity in the voting booth.
Sitting in a bar with people cheering on Auburn last night, the Rude Pundit explained to a friend about the snobbery of some of the intellectual elite in the Northeast. The friend, who is a university professor, smirked and said, "It's the reverse down here." Yeah, you know what he's talking about - the ones who think that Blue State liberals are snotty little fags and dykes who've never done a hard day's work and who wanna spread the liberal message like so many Bolsheviks in a Red Square coffee house. This is where the fight is. And all the many pundits and prognosticators of the "future" of the Democratic party have it absolutely, exactly wrong when they think the Democrats can triangulate themselves back into consequence. That way lies irrelevance and madness.
The simple truth is that Democrats, moderates, liberals, anyone, won't win by saying, "Lookeeme, I'm like you, Farmer Brown or Factory Worker Sally, look at me compromise on abortion rights and put on shit-stained boots to go out into the fields and talk about how much I hate queers." No, winning comes by saying, "Look here, Farmer Brown and Factory Worker Sally, you are like me." And that means on each and every coming battle - Social Security, judges, tax cuts, Iraq. The people don't want leaders who identify with them. They want leaders who they identify with. It's a fine, but important distinction.
The Rude Pundit is returning back to the warm embrace of Blue State America tomorrow, so he'll be posting some new Tales of the Christ Weary. But starting Thursday with Social Security "reform," the Rude Pundit will offer the path back to power. It ain't gonna be pretty. We'll lose some good people along the way. But their bones will make our stepladders as we climb higher and higher. Gird your loins, motherfuckers, 'cause it's gonna get hot.

* Potential offer at $44 to $46 per share in cash
* TPC says will consider the non-binding proposal
* Shares of TPC closes 12.8 pct higher
(Adds Sandell comment, TPC and Innospec share close)
Oct 8 (Reuters) - Chemicals maker TPC Group Inc on Monday said it received a buyout proposal from Innospec Inc
worth as much as $721 million, topping an offer from two private equity firms made in August.
Private equity firms First Reserve Corp and SK Capital Partners in August had offered $627.2 million to acquire TPC.
The deals pit the private equity industry's desire to expand into a high-margin sector against a chemical industry veteran's attempt to expand.
TPC's main product is butadiene, used to make synthetic rubber for tires and other automotive products. But weak demand has pressured its business this year as prices for butadiene have fallen sharply, causing a trough in TPC's market.
Innospec, a specialty chemical maker, could offer $44 to $46 per share in cash, TPC said in a statement on Monday.
First Reserve and SK Capital offered $40 a share in late August.
TPC shares have consistently traded above the $40 price offered by the private equity firms, and at least two of TPC's top-10 shareholders have said they will vote against the deal.
"We urge TPCG to abandon the First Reserve deal, pursue the Innospec bid and solicit interest from other potential buyers in a full-blown auction to ensure that shareholder value is maximized," third-largest shareholder Sandell Asset Management Corp said in a statement late Monday.
Sandell owns about 7 percent of TPC as of Oct. 2, according to Thomson Reuters data.
TPC said it will consider the non-binding proposal from Innospec. It previously said a transaction with First Reserve and SK Capital Partners would be in the best interest of shareholders.
Perella Weinberg Partners LP is advising TPC. Blackstone is providing equity financing for Innospec.
TPC shares closed at $45.88 while Innospec shares closed at $33.37 on Monday on the Nasdaq.

Forty percent of American women over the age of 50 will have a bone fracture related to low bone mass. Find out why taking calcium supplements alone may be like flushing money down the drain.
Forty percent of women 50 or older in the United States will break a hip, spine, or wrist during their lifetime. It's a scary statistic, because nearly twenty percent of people who have a hip fracture will die within a year from complications associated with that fracture.
More and more baby boomers are boning up on calcium supplements with the idea that their daily dose of calcium is going to solve the osteoporosis problem.
The More Calcium Myth
Mass media would have us believe that taking a calcium supplement will prevent osteoporosis. The truth is that calcium is only a small part of the equation for maintaining healthy bones. As Americans we have one of the highest intakes of calcium in the world (approximately 1000 mg/day), yet we also have one of the world's highest rates of osteoporosis. Hip fracture rates per 100,000 women in the United States exceed 100. On the other hand, South Africans consume only 200 mg of calcium per day, and have less than 7 hip fractures per 100,000 women.
Your Source of Calcium Matters
Consider the source. Much of the average American's dietary calcium comes from milk. Studies show that calcium in milk is not as well absorbed as calcium from vegetable sources such as dark leafy greens, broccoli, beans, and some fruits.
If you're taking a calcium supplement, the source of calcium should be either calcium citrate, or calcium lactate. Avoid calcium carbonate, which is poorly absorbed by the body.
Other Nutrients
We need more than calcium to have strong bones. Studies also show that calcium combined with vitamin D seems to protect against bone loss. Vitamin D not only strengthens bones, it also strengthens muscles. Early evidence on vitamin D also shows that it enhances the immune system, and may even prevent certain types of cancer.
Where can you get vitamin D--- from the sunshine in summer months. A few minutes limited exposure of the throat and chest to sunshine daily is all your body needs to produce vitamin D. During winter months moderate supplements, may be necessary, but consult with your physician, as too much vitamin D can be toxic.
Exercise Builds Bones
One factor that is a huge contributor to the health of our bones is weight-bearing exercise. Whenever a bone is stressed by weight bearing exercise the bone responds by laying down new, stronger bone to reinforce existing bones. Hence weight-bearing exercises like walking, jogging, hiking and weight lifting can help build stronger hips and spines that resist the ravages of time.
Antacids Promote Osteoporosis
If you're taking over the counter antacids or prescription medications for heartburn or acid reflux you are increasing your risk for developing osteoporosis. Reducing stomach acid directly correlates to bone loss. The side effects of decreased stomach acid are decreased absorption of important bone building minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, and decreased protein digestion. Adequate protein digestion is necessary for calcium to be transported in the blood. Protein also provides the lattice for calcium and other components of bone to be attached to so bone can be formed.
The Most Neglected Factor
While many of us seek some sort of magic cure for osteoporosis by finding the right supplement, combinations of supplements, or medications, the answer to preventing osteoporosis may actually be as simple as looking at what we are eating.
One factor that is over looked by many doctors and health professionals is the role that dietary factors play in the creation of osteoporosis. The body's major building blocks are fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Excessive intake or inadequate digestion of any of these major food groups will result in bone loss.
The standard American diet – with excessive amounts of fat, and simple sugars - is the perfect combination for promoting bone loss because it can cause the body to lose calcium.
When we have excessive fat in the diet, the un-utilized fat combines with calcium in our intestines to form an insoluble soap that is excreted with our stool. This is exactly the same chemical reaction that soap manufacturers use to make soap from animal fat!
When we have excessive amounts of sugar and simple carbohydrates (e.g. white bread, pasta etc.) the process of metabolizing all those carbohydrates causes us to lose calcium in our urine, which then is taken from the bones to rebalance the body's blood calcium levels.
Be Proactive
Here are five steps to preventing osteoporosis:
First, its important to know how much bone mass you actually have. If you're in your forties and have not had a bone scan of the hips, pelvis and lumbar spine, ask your doctor to order one before you start menopause. This will give you an accurate baseline to monitor any bone loss during and after menopause.
Next, evaluate your diet. Reduce fats, sugars and simple carbs, and use the new food pyramid's recommendation of nine servings of vegetables and fruits per day. Vegetables are the best source of calcium you can absorb.
If you are using a supplement, make sure that it provides a comprehensive mix of calcium, phosphorous, vitamin D and other bone building minerals.
If you're taking drugs to control heartburn, or reflux, address the real cause of your condition instead of medicating away your symptoms and placing yourself at risk for osteoporosis.
Lastly, get moving on a weight bearing exercise program where you stimulate bone growth by walking and lifting weights.
Preventing osteoporosis involves more than popping a pill. However the changes you make to prevent bone loss will benefit your health at nearly every level.

Donald 'DC' Carpenter Q&A
Hailing from the Midwest, the South, and the heart of Texas, Eye Empire is preparing to shake the Earth's crust, or at least the music scene. With its edgy, energetic, and intelligent brand of rock and metal this quartet is ready to make people take notice. This week Metalholic caught up with vocalist Donald "DC" Carpenter to talk about the group's debut album and his take on the state of America.
The seeds of Eye Empire were planted as far back as 2007. Bassist Corey Lowery (Stuck Mojo, Stereomud, Dark New Day) and guitarist B.C. Kochmit (Switched) began kicking up some dust and waiting to see what settled. The empire was founded on that ground.
Fast forward to 2009 and the band reached out to former Submersed frontman, Carpenter, to give voice to its volcanic sonic hell. For a brief tenure Will Hunt (Evanescence, Black Label Society) backstopped the band behind the kit. However, it wasn't until the recent addition of former Texas Hippie Coalition drummer Ryan Bennett that the band found its final piece.
In 2011, the band self-released a couple of limited album variations as "Moment of Impact", but the moment wasn't yet right. Last month, the band, now armed with new management, has realized "Impact". The band's debut two-disc set offers the group's original recordings along with a handful of new tracks and some acoustic and live material: 24 total performances.
If the talent in the band already wasn't enough on its own, Lowery's brother, guitarist Clint, along with his fellow Sevendust bandmates, vocalist Lejon Witherspoon and drummer Morgan Rose all played a role in the band's debut album.
DC talked about the Eye Empire's ballsy decision to kick off its career with a double album:
"We always look at it as an evolution and a kind of progression. We're trying to do something that's different. This industry is in a transition, and we figured it was the only way for us. In a day and age when the album is losing its value we figured we'd give more for your money and bring that value back."
Carpenter can write lyrics that are straight up rock and roll, and then there is his other side where he likes to get deep. "It's a bi-polar type of world, and a bi-polar type of life," he laughed. The socially savvy singer then got serious, talking about the state of America.
"You never want to come from a judgmental perspective. Me as an individual, I'm always trying to search for truth, for an answer within myself. I feel a lot of where we're at now is the natural evolution process of man, and where our arrogance and lack of focus has brought us too. For a long time I think a lot of us have been content to say, 'I'm gonna stay on my block. I'm gonna take care of myself. And as long as I'm fine, screw everybody else.' I think nowadays were starting to see we're not inconsequential. We're very much a part of the bigger picture. I know I personally start to notice some of that complacency that comes along with feeling insignificant. I think for [Eye Empire] we want to try and come out, and our impact is making people feel significant again. Let them know that complacency is not going to work."
Carpenter stated that it is the same thing for our country as it is for the music and keeping music alive. "I think if we don't get actively involved. If we don't give ourselves a voice and a chance, then it's not gonna work. We're at that day and age where we have to find that significance again. We have to find that fire, and for me I think music is one of the best tools to really ignite fire in people and bring that focus back to life."

The bumblebee was traditionally known as the humblebee, after naturalist Charles Darwin began observing and documenting the insects in records dating back to 1841. The name humblebee refers to the humming noise the bees make as they rapidly beat their wings while flying—it is estimated the insects can fly at speeds of approximately 10 miles (16 km) per hour. By the early 20th century, the name gradually was phased out and replaced with the modern name of bumblebee as more scientists began to study the insects. Darwin was among the first to recognize the importance of bumblebees' role in fertilizing plants as they collected nectar and pollen, and even noted certain plants' risk for extinction if bumblebees disappeared and were unable to help fertilize.

Loving: Mini-getaways. I didn't think I'd be the type to want to hang out at the beach for the weekend -- or surf for that matter, but apparently, I am. And that weekend with officemeates at the beach was both unexpected and totally enjoyable. I need more of these surprise, spontaneous trips.
Reading: I finally got around to starting Attachments and everything Rainbow Rowell and I'm happy to report that I enjoyed her debut novel so much. I initially thought it was YA which it probably is but given that the characters worked at an office, I guess not. I loved it. So much. Too much.
Watching: The 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who had the most tremendously satisfying episode and I'm so in love with Tenant, I'm going to watch his past work. But really, it was written and executed so magnificently, I need more Eleven (and Twelve) in my life. Also, Broadchurch blew my brains out so bad, I'm scared for Gracepoint. Still, it's more Tenant so that can't be all bad.
Anticipating: The 'holiday break' and my siblings coming home. Sure, my brother from SG has to work over the holidays (it sucks to be the newbie at a law firm, I suppose), but my brother in LA is coming home and my sister will be here, so we're practically complete. I'm just raring for those few precious days when I hope I won't have to work.
Listening to: I've been listening to The 1975's Chocolate on repeat now and I know they have a whole album but I'm too lazy to get around to it. Instead, I'm happy to just remember the surf and the waves and the very bumpy ride going and coming as I listen to them.
Planning: To really fix my room. I promise. My mom, embarrassingly, couldn't take it anymore, she did my closet. And that's a sad fact. I'm thankful but terribly mortified. So slowly but surely, I'm going to work through little sections of my tiny but packed room. It's got to stop. I need to throw half this stuff away anyway.
Working on: My Fitness! Fergie said it best (how retro to reference her) but I'm trying!!! The Nike Training Camp app has been pretty nifty but I still have to actually get around to doing these things. I'm trying the 15 minute-ones cause I'm terribly lazy and weak to do a full 30. Heck, i'm too weak to do a 15. but I am trying.
Wishing: I was more patient. I know I've been waiting around for quite some time and I know they say it comes when you least expect it, but patience has never been my virtue and it needs to be. I should probably just pray more and more about it. It will come, I know it. I just wish I knew when.

The Green Drink.
I'm not going to bother saying it again, but in case you're new to SUM, I can't cook to save my life. Seriously. (I eat froast, for crying out loud.)
Thankfully, Chris is always on the hunt for healthy, and tasty, recipes that work with his regimen and are easy on my bloodsugars. And lately, he's been making this Green Drink. (Capitalized, because it's sort of official and better than when he pretends it's called "Pretty Green," after the Liam Gallagher clothing line - which it is NOT. But Liam Gallagher is beyond funny in the interviews about his clothing line, so if you have a chance to watch this arrogant popstar wax on about his clothing line, you can follow him on Twitter. And now I've digressed myself right into a stupor.)
Point is, it looks a smidge like "You Can't Do That On Television!" sludge but it tastes very nice.
The recipe is pretty basic: Three stalks of celery, one apple, a handful of baby spinach, all chopped up so they can be obliterated by the blender. Add in approximately three quarter cups of water, a good dash of cinnamon, and blend it until the cats' ears get all panicked.
When it's done, you'll have a frothy glass of Green Drink that tastes very nice and is about 8 grams of carbs.
How do you guys get more vegetables in your diet? Since I'm doing what I can to keep the carbs at a minimum to (hopefully) lower my A1C, I'm eating more fresh green beans and celery as snacks, and drinking the Green Drink, too. Will you like it? I don't know - ahhhhh! - but it's currently topping my favorite way to get some extra servings of fruits and vegetables, so I'm for it.

Success comes to technical writers in many ways. Each of them requires focus, writing expertise, and work.
For some writers, writing is difficult, so the road to success is hard work. For others, writing is fun, so the work is easy, almost like play.
There are as many paths to success in the technical writing field as there are writers. Here are 6 of the most common.
1. Choose a field to specialize in, for example, hardware, software, semiconductors, scientific analysis, and more.
2. Work as a generalist in several fields where technical writers are needed.
3. Select a particular type of documentation to write: user guides, internal documentation, academic research, white papers, to name a few.
4. Teach. You can leverage your expertise in a particular technical field to teach others about it.
5. Consult only with startups.
6. Consult only with a particular type of company: local, national, or international corporations.
I'll expand upon each of these technical writing fields in future posts. Until then, remember that whether you consider writing hard work or play, the road you travel on your journey to success is your choice.
Sometimes it's crowded. Sometimes it's the road less traveled. Dip your pen into the Inkwell and tell us in the comments below about the road you've chosen to travel on your journey to success.
At my Business of Freelancing workshop, I recommend that each freelance writer or editor set their rates based on research and on the number that feels most comfortable to them. I still set my rate this way. Why?
You must feel comfortable with the rate you are charging. By comfortable, I mean you must feel and believe that the rate you charge is right for you and fair for your clients, as well as competitive in the marketplace.
But what do you do when a potential client asks you to lower your rate just for them? This is something every freelance writer and editor deals with on occasion. The solution is simple. Let me give you an example:
Over the years, there have been times when potential clients have challenged the rate I was charging. Some presented strong, but usually selfish arguments for lowering my rate, such as they only wanted to spend a certain amount or they thought that because theirs was a non-profit they should get a discounted rate.
On the few occasions when I granted a potential client's request to lower my rate, I struggled to complete those jobs. Why? First, I felt that I was not getting paid a fair rate for the work I was doing. Consequently, my self esteem and my self confidence faltered. Second, those clients proved to be extremely high maintenance.
Comparing notes with other freelance writers and editors, I've found that if a potential client does not want to pay the going rate, which is fair and competitive, they are more likely to be a high maintenance client, which means the writer or editor will be working harder for less pay.
If you are charging a fair rate, one that is competitive with other technical writers and editors in your field, and if you are good at what you do, there is no reason for you to lower your rate. In my opinion, to do so shortchanges both you and your client—it short changes you because you don't get paid what your services are worth and it short changes your fellow technical writers and editors because it sets clients' expectations that prices are random and can be lowered upon request. In other words, it under values the services offered.
In addition, the almost inevitable high maintenance factor results in you getting paid less than the project is worth because you have to spend a lot of time dealing with the drama created by these high-maintenance clients.
Shortly after those experiences, I realized that I was quite comfortable charging clients my current going rate. I am also quite comfortable ending the conversation when a client presses me to lower my rates. I calmly explain that the rate I charge is fair and competitive and in line with the experience I bring to each project. I then suggest that they may be more comfortable working with someone whose rates are more in line with their budget and I politely close the conversation.
As a result, I enjoy my work and my clients, which makes my workdays worthwhile.
Dip your pen into the inkwell and tell us how you deal with clients who ask you to lower your rate.

Why, for the love of all that's good, do students NOT show up to my office hours with questions or problems during the semester, but the MOMENT the final exam is turned in, they are e-mailing me either begging me for "extra credit" (Oh honey. Oh honey. Don't ask me to do something unethical. And yes, it is unethical to offer one student extra credit that the others don't have the opportunity to receive) or berating me for not teaching them something well enough (I am required by
law my admins to hold ten hours of office hours a week. They are so you may meet with me about things you don't understand. Everyone else in the class got the topic; it is not my place to back the truck up to catch up one person who may simply not be paying attention).
I'm just TIRED. I almost snapped at a student during the review session the other day because she kept stopping me and asking me to repeat stuff I had covered five or more minutes previously. This is also someone who would sit in the back of the room - with spaces open on the two front rows - and then yell "I can't read what you are writing on the board!" at me, which would make me sigh, and increase the size of my handwriting.
I mean, it's good to be diligent about stuff, but it's another thing to constantly berate your prof.
(I have three e-mails - in a class of 15 - that are all about extra credit and were all mailed within three hours of the exam being finished. Dammit.)

Gets me right here....
Heard this on the radio this morning. I had to sit down on the foot of my bed and cry for a couple minutes:
Man undergoing chemo films his "father-daughter dance" in case he won't be around for her wedding.
My own father is healthy, but he's closing in on 80, and so every story like that gets to me a little, because like every adult kid that loves their parents, I know some day there will be that phone call that will change everything.

Arrrgh, it's 6 pm
First off:: Fair enough, Joel. I haven't seen the article (I don't care that much for Rolling Stone) but it seems often our culture has the habit of glorifying that which should not be, so it sounds like they did a better job than I might have hoped.
My last lab of the summer ended. It should have ended at 5:30 but I have two SLOWPOKES who just can't get done on time, and I can't justify turfing them because there's no class after mine in the room. (During the regular semester, they'd be so gone).
But today, they overstayed their welcome by a half hour. So gone are my plans of working out tonight (it was way too humid to this morning) or even mowing my lawn.
I can't really get too angry at them - it's not that they goof off, they're just methodical and SLOW.
But I've been on campus since 7 this morning and I'm tired. And I don't get a weekend this morning because it's prepwork for fall time. So blah. Anyone who believes college profs are lazy bums with too much free time on their hands are welcome to come do my gig for a week and see. I'm lucky if I get 45 minutes of an evening to do what I "want" to do. (Well, unless you count sleeping. If I could get by on five hours of sleep then I could have maybe 2 hours a night. But I can't, so I don't.)
The "Rolling Stone" cover
Some years back, I commented to a friend that pirates, which were once viewed as hateful, murderous scum (And rightly so: some of the accounts I've read of what they even did to one of their own, were he to desert or simply not live up to "the pirate code" are pretty horrific). But now, they've been rehabilitated: they're figures of fun, almost-heroes in movies, romantic. There is even a very small children's show featuring a pirate crew. (Granted, everything's been sanitized even more than what Disney did to Grimm's Fairy Tales - but still: pirates. Who were by definition thieves and killers).
And I remarked: I wonder if in a couple hundred years, what remains of our culture will treat the terrorists of today the same way? If they'll be seen as almost-heroes, as romantic figures, as people living "outside the box" (I think that's part of the attraction of pirates, for some: they don't have a 9 to 5 job, they don't follow the rules of polite society, and somehow that's cool).
Well, I didn't need to wait that long. One of the murderous thugs who tried to cause a mass killing (and succeeded in killing 3 and maiming far more) at the Boston Marathon has been given the Glamour Shots treatment by Rolling Stone.
Granted, Rolling Stone is known for wanting to be "transgressive," I suspect for them, "But it won't play in Peoria" is probably considered high praise. But really, I wonder how Bostonians feel - how people who know someone injured feel - to walk past a newsstand and see that. I admit I growl low in my throat, and I didn't even know anyone injured.
And supposedly the article addresses "How his family failed him"? Um, how about how HE failed his adopted country - the one that granted his family asylum when they claimed mistreatment at the hands of non-Muslims in their own country?
I don't know. I still feel angry over every stupid teenybopper (or superannuated teenybopper - there are women out of teenybopper age who said this) who claimed he was too "pretty" to be evil. NO. Often evil hides behind a mask of attractiveness, that's how it sucks you in. Stop being stupid.
What do I hope happens to this guy? I hope he is quietly tried, quietly found guilty, and either quietly executed or spends the rest of his live in isolation bored in prison somewhere. That he DOESN'T become any kind of a romantic figure. There's NOTHING romantic about wanting to kill innocent people.

Here's an idea...
They upfront note it's a "gamble," but I think this is an interesting concept:
Oregon to let college-bound choose: pay up-front, or pay over the course of your career. Either students can pay the roughly $25K per year upfront, or they can "mortgage" the first 24 years of their career at 3% of their earnings per year.
It's an interesting concept, though now that I read it, there are some problems:
1. Apparently the IRS would have to administer it. I don't want the IRS involved in more things; I want them involved in fewer things.
2. The higher-earning-potential students will opt to pay up front, so the university system won't "win" off of them - if you're going to be an engineer or architect or lawyer potentially making six figures a year, you're not going to opt for 3% of that to go for half or more of your career. Lower-earning-potential students will opt in, and some will "win" whereas others - say, someone who goes into writing and strikes it big with a couple novels that get optioned by Hollywood - will "lose" and the university system will "win." But I suspect most in the humanities, and many in the so-called "helping professions" (outside of, maybe, nursing) would be money ahead to take the 3% deal.
3. It will probably come back to bite state taxpayers somehow, or else the school will find itself needing to cut corners when it has unexpected shortfalls.
On the other hand, I like the idea of a tuition plan where no student can come back and sue the school because they "aren't making enough money." (There have been a few cases of graduates trying to sue their alma maters, either because said graduates believed they were "guaranteed" a job upon graduation, or that they weren't makign the big bucks the brochures implied they would).
Would it be a reasonable deal for someone like me? As an out-of-state student at a Public Ivy back some 20 years ago, I was probably paying close to $20K a year (Well, *I* wasn't, per se....I was one of those evil trust-fund kids - when my grandparents' estate was sold, the money went into an eduction trust for my brother and me, and we wrote our tuition checks out of that. But $20K seems reasonable including room, cheap board (I ate a lot of beans and rice) and textbooks).
So. I'm making roughly $65K a year (let's not count capital gains on investments, though I'm sure Oregon would like to do that). Three percent of $65K is $1950. So, presuming my entire undergrad costs were on the order of $60K (I graduated in 3 years: APs and taking summer classes at a local commuter community college helped), and assuming my earnings remained constant.....it would take 30.7 years to pay off my cost of education at my current income. (Of course, with experience, ones income goes up, and in some years at least, we've gotten inflation-indexed pay raises).
Of course, if they included everything the IRS likes to look at - capital gains (yes, I do have some investments), interest, dividends, income from stuff like textbook reviewing (it's small, but it's something).....they'd probably get at least their money back out of me, likely more. Of course, at today's prices for Oregon, it would be a little longer for the payoff, but still. (I don't even want to know what a four-year degree at my alma mater would cost these days. If I were doing it again I'd go to a smaller school, possibly a private one, maybe even a church-affiliated one. The culture at my alma mater did not always agree with me.)
I don't think it would work in practice but it's an interesting idea in theory. I also wonder if a university's various committees would be so eager to approve new majors in less-marketable fields (e.g., Peace Studies) if they thought a large number of those majors would opt for the "3% of my income for the next 24 years" option.

My main thought:
Added, later on: To all the people (ESPECIALLY white hipsters) putting on hoodies and declaring "I am Trayvon Martin," stop it. You can sympathize with him and his family. But you - especially if you are from a more-privileged background - are NOT him. This is annoying me.This is not the same thing as walking a mile in someone's shoes; this is co-opting someone else for your own purposes.
Okay, disclaimer: I watched as little of the Zimmerman trial as possible. (Trying to find "other" news of the world in the middle of a "trial of the century number 5" means you wind up seeing some of that trial). So I don't know all the facts. Hell, I suspect that no one, outside of God, really knows all the facts.
But a phrase keeps going through my head: an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
I'm willing to accept that Zimmerman acted in self-defense; that seems to be what the jury found. But now, the folks calling for his head, what does that solve? It doesn't make Martin any less dead. It doesn't make two families' lives any less awful now.
And I fail to see what the non-peaceful, property-damaging protests solve - why is burning stuff or breaking the windows of someone who probably never did anything to you an answer? I'm wondering if some of the people are acting that way because they feel like they have been told to act a certain way, or that it's the only way they will see "justice" - to make some other person, someone probably totally uninvolved, to make their life worse. (My minimum goal in life is to not make the lives worse of innocent people around me. It's a pretty small goal.)
Or is it just easier to be angry about this? I don't know. I've been avoiding social media since Saturday night because the frothing on the part of some just gets to me.
For that matter, if we want to be angry about unnecessary deaths, what about all the kids who are dying in Chicago due, mostly, to gang violence? What about the report (I have not been able to substantiate it from what I consider a reliable source, so it may not be true) that a 17 year old kid in Chicago was killed by gang members because he refused to join a gang?
Our society is broken in a lot of ways but it seems that the media wants to focus on only certain ways.Yes, it's awful that Trayvon Martin died. Yes, there were probably things he could have done differently, things Zimmerman could have done differently, maybe even things the local police could have done differently that would have led to a different ending - but that didn't happen. It's sad and unfortunate but I don't think it's the huge indictment of "A Racist America" that some people are playing it up to be. (There is no solid evidence that Zimmerman used a racial slur, for example - if he had been witnessed chasing Martin down the street screaming epithets at him, then I'd say it was definitely a crime in which race played a part. But from what I've seen of the case, that does not seem to be the situation.)
I don't know. This just makes me feel more and more like we're living in a fractured country, where people are being taught to distrust even their neighbors - and while there are genuinely people out there you cannot trust, distrusting and being suspicious of everyone is a bad way to have to live.
I find myself watching less and less news, because I feel like I'm being told what to think, what to feel, what someone else thinks is important - rather than what might actually be important.

Something funny
Escape-artist babies. I know this is all over the web but it made me laugh.
I particularly like the one towards the end of the toddler who gets out of her crib, goes over to her sister's crib, lowers the side so her sister can get out and then *puts the side back up to avoid detection*

"Trial of the century"
(I've been really busy with summer classes. Trying to teach AND do research is craziness)
Anyway. The other night, when Morsi fell in Egypt, I wanted to see what was going on without firing up my archaic home computer. So I flipped on the tv.
Every news station (And I MEAN every - I even checked MSNBC) was showing highlights of the Zimmerman trial. (CNN apparently even has theme music for it)
This frustrates me on a couple of levels - first of all, what's going on in Egypt now is likely going to have a greater effect on our lives in the long run than some trial of a guy who killed a kid who may or may not have been attacking him. What happened in Florida was unfortunate and ugly and regardless of whether Martin was a "bad kid" or whether he attacked Zimmerman, he's still dead and his family is still mourning him. And Zimmerman's life has been disrupted; he's been painted as a vigilante and worse in the media.
The other thing that I really dislike is the thought that this is the new reality, that every big spectacular trial gets its own tv show. Surely this kind of thing is going to interfere with how justice is done? All we as citizens really need to know is (a) the case is going to trial and (b) the verdict (and sentence, if there is one) after the trial is over.
I don't know if it's that there are sufficiently large numbers of people lacking drama in their lives, that they feel they need the real-life soap opera of following a trial as it happens (I know people who watched almost every minute of the Casey Anthony trial). Or if people have somehow become convinced that watching a trial is doing some kind of civic duty akin to actually serving on a jury.
I don't know. But I worry about the ability for justice to be served in really high-profile trials, where there has been so much media speculation before the fact, and then the whole thing is on tv - so on some level, the attorneys and the court officers and the witnesses and perhaps even the jury know that millions of people are watching them - in some, that may raise an impulse to grandstand, a sense that "this is my ticket to fame (or at least to become a 'consultant' for Fox News)"
I tend to think putting a camera in front of most people changes their behavior, and not necessarily in a good way.

Gisele Bundchen Says She's Never Spent More Than Three Hours Away From Her Son!
The supermodel says she can't bear to be separated from her son Benjamin. Do you feel the same way?
Aww! Just look at this adorable mommy-baby pair! Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her 9-month-old baby boy Benjamin Brady were out and about Sept. 14 in New York City. Aren't they simply the cutest duo you've ever seen? We could just eat up little Benjy — he's that delicious! The-30-year-old clearly feels that way, she barely lets her son out of her sight!
Gisele, who caused an uproar in August when she said that breastfeeding should be mandatory, says that she likes to take her little bundle of joy around with her wherever she goes. "I am so lucky that I can bring him everywhere," she says of her son with Tom Brady. "I don't do anything without him. The maximum he has been without me in his life is three hours."
The model mom also said she has new-found respect for her own mom, now that she's experienced motherhood herself. "My mother is a hero. I have never appreciated my mother more," Gisele says. "My mother worked all the time, too. The neighbors all helped. With all the neighbors in my town, it was like a big happy family; that doesn't really exist anymore. People have forgotten to help each other, and that it's all about community. You can't live in a bubble."

The story of Patek Philippe watches with a 10-day power reserve started in 2000, when Patek Philippe introduced the 10-day Ref. 5100 and the trend for watches, offering 4-, 6-, 8-day power reserve, was born.
Three year later, Patek Philippe premiered the Ref. 5101P, already mentioned above. The timepiece boasted not only the 10-day power reserve but also a tourbillon escapement and up to this day, it is still the only wristwatch with a winding crown that boasts such a remarkable autonomy.
The dial features a power-reserve indicator at 12 o'clock that keeps the watchs owner aware of the residual power reserve. The 11th segment of the power reserve scale is distinctively red, as a signal that it is necessary to rewind the watch. To make the movement regain the 10-day power reserve, it is necessary to turn the crown 100 times!
The extraordinary Patek Philippe movement incorporates a tourbillon escapement that comprises 72 individual parts, weighing just 0.3 grams. The steel parts of the filigreed cage all demonstrate meticulous hand-finishing.
The elegant rectangular case of the Patek Philippe watch is performed in the art deco style. The case, sculptured in 18K rose gold, features sleek three-tiered flanks. The anatomically curved case, with convex sapphire-crystal glass and screwed sapphire-crystal case back, provides supreme comfort on the wrist. The timepiece
, reviewed by Watches.InfoNIAC.com, is 25-meter water-resistant.
The 18K gold dial, featuring dark silvery gray hue, demonstrates two bright silvery guilloche-patterned sub-dials for the seconds at 6 o'clock and the power-reserve indicator at 12 o'clock. The dial also shows the movements serial number and the inscriptions Patek Philippe and Tourbillon.
The dial is completed with leaf-shaped hour and minute hands and applied Breguet numerals, also performed in 18K rose gold. The sapphire-crystal case back allows to see the nicely decorated plate and bridges, the sophisticated tourbillon, and the jewels in gold chatons.
The Patek Philippe Ref. 5101R 10-Day Tourbillon watch is secured to the wrist on a hand-stitched, large-scale alligator strap fitted with a rose gold prong buckle.

Radio Frequency Welding
Radio Frequency Welding versus Hot Air Welding
As a result of efficiencies in technology and other key advantages, hot air and hot wedge welding machines are preferred over radio frequency welding equipment. Here are the advantages of Miller Weldmaster's hot wedge welding machines.
Miller Weldmaster hot air and hot wedge welding machines have significantly faster welding times than most radio frequency welder equipment.
Seam Strength
Our more efficient technology does not compromise seam strength, seam appearance or seam integrity. Our customers have been depending on Miller Weldmaster machines for over 45 years. We have customers constructing people-carrying blimps, white water rafts, airplane rescue escape shoots and various military applications with our hot air and hot wedge welding machines.
Seam Appearance
The molecular bonded seam is welded from the inside, not over the two outside layers. This significantly improves seam appearance over radio frequency welding seams.
With an array of different fabrics on the market, most manufacturers need to be able to weld all thermoplastic materials. Radio frequency welding can only weld polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane, while hot air and hot wedge can weld a variety of thermoplastic fabrics and films. Hot air and hot wedge welding machines also allow you to more easily make three-dimensional products. Miller Weldmaster technology can allow you to make almost your whole product with just one welder.
Work Space
Most printer and machine manufacturers will dictate that equipment needs to be at least 15 meters away from any radio frequency device. There are no distance limitations with Miller Weldmaster's hot air and hot wedge welding machines and your existing office or manufacturing equipment.
Finally, Miller Weldmaster machines are significantly less expensive to maintain than radio frequency sealer machines.
With over 3,000 machines installed in numerous industries in over 100 countries, hot air and hot wedge welding provides distinct advantage over radio frequency welding.Contact Us
Advantages of the 112 Extreme
The 112 Extreme is a complete heat sealing system for straight seam welding of billboard and sign panels. The two vinyl panels are positioned on the bed of the machine and held in place with our exclusive vacuum track holding system. Once the fabric is positioned and held down, the traveling welding head is driven down the track to produce the heat sealed seam. A laser line is built into the machine for alignment of printed images.
Furthermore, if it is required that the machine needs to be stopped mid-weld, a stop control the length of the machine is always and easily accessible. During the seaming process, it is not necessary for the operator to touch the fabric being overlap welded, thus greatly reducing the chance for operator error.
