Today's thought for the day can be found here.
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Our neighbors were celebrating a special anniversary tonight, so I walked my whisk and skillet down the hill to make dinner for their crew. When you are removed from the day to day feeding of a family, you forget just how much food four teenage boys can consume in a single seating. Fortunately, potatoes and ground beef were in ample supply, so no one went hungry, but I must tell you that the boys went through 3 trays of potatoes, 2 pounds worth of sloppy Joes and a good-sized watermelon before they pushed their chairs away from the table. If you find yourself in a situation where you are cooking for a gang, you might want to keep these potatoes in mind. The recipe comes from Bon Appetit and it is a preparation that defines simplicity. Unpeeled potatoes are cut into wedges, tossed in a seasoned oil and baked. The spices are nicely balanced and the finished potatoes, while more like roasted than fried potatoes, have great flavor. I let mine cook for an extra 5 minutes to insure all the surfaces would be crisp. This is a nice substitute for French-fried potatoes. Here is how they are made.
Spicy Oven Fries...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Bon Appetit
3 russet potatoes (about 1-1/2 lb.), unpeeled, each cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2) Toss potato wedges, oil, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper on a foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet to evenly coat; season potatoes with salt and pepper.
3) Roast, turning once, until wedges are golden brown and crisp, 25-30 minutes. Yield: 4 servings.

Dad: Teen being 'savaged' for filing suit
MORRISTOWN, N.J. -- The father of a high school senior who is suing her parents for child support and college costs said Saturday he just wants his daughter to return home and is upset that she publicly is perceived as "a spoiled brat."
Rachel Canning, 18, has garnered international attention -- often critical and disparaging -- since she filed a lawsuit Feb. 24 in Superior Court against her parents, Sean and Elizabeth Canning, of Lincoln Park.
Rachel contends her parents informed her she would be cut off financially as of Nov. 1, her 18th birthday, unless she started being more respectful at home, stick to a curfew and break up with a boyfriend they don't like. The parents maintain that Rachel voluntarily left home because she didn't want to obey their rules, and that she emancipated herself from any obligation on their part to support her and foot a college tuition bill.
Sean Canning, a retired Lincoln Park police chief, said Saturday that he and his wife cannot bear to see Rachel being "savaged" in the court of public opinion and want her home. He has said that a college tuition fund in her name will be there for her.
"The war drums keep beating against her," Canning said. "My wife and I are pained to see this, to see her be savaged, to see Rachel be tabloid fodder."
While Rachel, an honor student, cheerleader, basketball and lacrosse player, could not immediately be reached Saturday, Sean Canning said he does not believe she is the author of rants against "greedy parents" posted on a Facebook page titled "Education for Rachel" and established Wednesday.
At least one post uses the pronoun "I" so that it appears to have been written by Rachel. That comment asserts that Rachel's parents should pay for college. But others use the pronoun "We" so that the author is unclear.
"We have been stunned by the financial greed of modern parents who are more concerned with retiring into some fantasy world rather than provide for their children's college and young adult years," says one post, seemingly attributable to Rachel on the page.
Another purported Rachel comment on the page says : "We see parents like this every day, children were always an accessory to them and nothing more."
Sean Canning said: "We don't think Rachel wrote those; maybe it's someone close to her. We just think this is a terrible tragedy, it's just become tabloid material. We want Rachel to come home."
Since her falling out with her parents, Rachel has been living with the family of a friend, Jaime Inglesino, in Rockaway Township. Father John Inglesino, a former township mayor and powerful attorney, is funding Rachel's lawsuit. He contends that the action was started after he had two unproductive meetings with Sean Canning about Rachel's future. The Canning's court papers state the Inglesinos have interfered and made the situation worse.
Judge Peter Bogaard ruled this week that Rachel was not immediately entitled to weekly child support and college costs and has set April 22 for a hearing on whether the young woman is emancipated or still within the legal "sphere of influence" by her parents and entitled to their financial support.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Golfers with the nighttime breathing disorder obstructive sleep apnea can improve their scores by treating their problem, according to study findings presented this week at the CHEST 2009 meeting in San Diego, California.
After a few months of using a night-time device that provides nasal positive airway pressure (NPAP) — a treatment that has been shown effective for curbing sleep apnea — a dozen golfers saw their average handicap fall significantly from 12.4 to 11.0. The effect was even more pronounced in better golfers (handicap <12), whose average handicap dropped from 9.2 to 6.3.
"The original intent of the study was to investigate whether there would be improvement in the performance of golfers with sleep apnea once treated. That was seen and was no surprise to me. The surprise was that the most significant improvement was noted in the lower handicap golfers, many of whom were older," study co-author Dr. Marc L. Benton told Reuters Health.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder in which the tissues at the back of the throat temporarily collapse during sleep, causing repeated stops and starts in breathing during the night. This leads to poor-quality sleep and, often, daytime drowsiness, fatigue, and cognitive impairment, "all side effects which can negatively impact a person's ability to golf to the best of one's ability," Benton noted in a prepared statement.
"As any golfer knows," Benton added, "when your ability to think clearly or make good decisions is compromised, the likelihood of playing your best is greatly diminished. Through treatment with NPAP, we can improve many cognitive metrics, such as attention span, memory, decision-making abilities, and frustration management, which may, in turn, positively affect a person's golf game."
Benton, from Atlantic Sleep and Pulmonary Associates in Madison, New Jersey, and Neil Friedman from nearby Morristown Memorial Hospital studied 12 golfers with moderate to severe sleep apnea who were treated with NPAP and 12 control golfers. Handicap and levels of sleepiness were assessed at the start of the study and again after 20 rounds of golf during NPAP treatment.
In addition to reduced handicaps, the NPAP-treated golfers had significant improvements in their levels of sleepiness. The control golfers, by contrast, showed no significant improvements in any parameters, including handicap.
Rates of compliance with NPAP therapy were high in this study - greater than 90 percent. Prior studies have reported compliance rates as low as 40 percent. People cite many reasons for noncompliance with NPAP, including discomfort, inconvenience, cost, noise, or embarrassment.
"Providers typically attempt to maximize compliance with NPAP by promoting its medical benefits or warning patients of the risks involved in not being treated, but this approach does not always work," said Benton.
"In the case of this study, the possibility of improving one's ability to play golf appears to have been a significant motivation to improve treatment compliance," he added. Benton estimates that there are 1 to 3 million regular golfers who suffer from sleep apnea, and most are undiagnosed or untreated.

Oh I love those! The art deco frames just add so much flavor to the photos. how fun.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comment. I couldn't agree more! ;-)ReplyDelete
Love Grandma's picture!!! she is so young!!ReplyDelete
Allison, that was exactly what I was thinking as I put it up. You are so right. Thanks! ;-)ReplyDelete
They are fabulous photographs. Don't you think young people in the 1920s through the 1940s looked older than their years? When I see graduation photographs from that time period I nearly always thing the young folks look like they're in their mid-20s (or older, sometimes) rather than about 18 years old. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos.ReplyDelete
I do know what you mean, Nancy. I found that 'feeling' came and went, over the years. I appreciate your comments. ;-)ReplyDelete
Great pics! Treasures indeed!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Jana. Couldn't agree more! ;-)ReplyDelete

Are you ready to play the Yum or Yuck game? Don't know? It's simple.
When you play this game, the most important thing is to write YUM or YUCK and another type of food after that.
Step one:
See what type of food the user above your post wrote and then if you think it's something yummy, post Yum. If not, post Yuck.
Step two:
Don't forget to type in another type of food after you write Yum or Yuck. So that the next player can write Yum or Yuck.
And this is how easy the game is.
Let's start!

Hi All,
I was cooking dinner last night and the phone rang, straight away I was suspicious as that is when these types of calls usually happen.
I answer, "Hello" and there is silence on the end of the line, I say again "Hello", this time I here a click and I know what is going on but decide to stay on the line out of curiosity.
In a heavy sub continent accent I hear "Hello Mr <My Surname>, my name is" ..pause.. "Dan Smith, I am from XXXX Technical Support, we are partners with Microsoft"
I say "Oh Yeah, what can I do for you"
'Dan' - "Do you be lucky enough to have computer at home sir?"
Me - "Yep sure am, I am living the dream here"
'Dan' - "Oh that is good sir, Mr <my surname>, we have received reports from the 'Internet Router System' that your computer is producing suspicious traffic and infected with lots of viruses"
Me - "Really, that sounds bad. Question for you though, if you had to ask me if I have a computer, how can you then tell me that my computer, which you didn't know about, is showing signs of having all these viruses"
'Dan' - "Oh Sir, I am telling you that this is really bad, your computer has lots of viruses and and is very badly infected, however we at XXXXX Technical Support can help you out"
Me - "Well Dan, sounds to me like this is a scam and you are full of sh!@, unfortunately for you, you have called the wrong person here, I suggest you p!5s off and call the next person on that list of yours" and then I hang up the phone.
I thought that if this scam was properly targeted it could be successful against people with no idea, it is the phone version of the fake antivirus scam. Thought I would share it as it is praying on people's computer security fears.
If they used perhaps the name of a large ISP (instead of Microsoft) then they could be more successful, if they said they were from my ISP, I would have at least thought twice before I told my sub-continent friend "Dan Smith" to get lost.
As background I am in Australia and I have received about 3 of these calls in the last 4 days.

You will recall that yesterday I went into great detail on the character assassination of Valene Harris, candidate for Christina School Board.
Today, Voices 4 Delaware Education PAC's mailer in support of Ms. Harris started hitting mailboxes:
To be clear: I think the flier is going to end up costing Ms. Harris votes (although you never know), but I also think that the publication of such a flier was inevitable. More on that in a moment.
John Young (both of Transparent Christina and a sitting member of the Christina School Board) offers several responses. This one interests me as a starting point:
Do you think this endears you to the BOE that, if you win, you will have to work with 6 of its members?
Interesting question, but possibly not in the manner John intends, because in many upstate districts we've already seen sitting school board members actively campaigning against people who eventually won seats on their own board.
In last year's Red Clay elections, no fewer than three of the sitting board members teamed up in support of another incumbent to campaign against the challenger--who won the seat.
Likewise, in one upstate election this year a glance at one candidate's financial report will show a sitting board president having donated to the cause. Do we ask that question of the board president? How do you sit down and work with the other candidate, if your chosen one loses?
The answer is that you just sit down and do it. That's politics.
Oh, by the way, don't try the link above. As I have been writing this, John has pulled the post. The new one concentrates not on Valene Harris but on Voices 4 Delaware Education:
Super secret money now in play, any questions?
I have a few:
Who is Voices 4 Delaware Education Action Fund?
What is their tax status? 501(c)4?
Who runs the organization?
Who funds the organization?
Since there are no action words in my mailer today like vote, elect, re-elect etc this must be an issue piece no?
If it is about issues such as the abject failures of the CSD BOE, who is funding the dissemination of this message?
Why are they inside a shell company?
Why won't they expose their identity and own their views?
Absent that transparency, will Valene Harris disavow their support?
The problem I have with all this virtuous angst is that "super secret money" has been in play for years and years and years with regard to Delaware elections.
So the same questions, unfortunately, could be asked of multiple school board and General Assembly candidates in years like, say, 2007-2011, when the DSEA Advocacy Fund for Children and Education dumped over a million dollars into school board and political campaigns across the State, while also legally laundering funds into various incarnations of the Working Families of Delaware PAC.
Here are some highlights, which anyone can verify via the Delaware Department of Elections PAC page by entering the keyword "DSEA" and the year range 2007-2011:
Funds raised by DSEA AFCE (these numbers are probably low; report totals don't add up):
2007: $148,522.63 (Including $32,500 directly from DSEA to its own PAC)
2008: $383,000 (Including over $300K from DSEA to its own PAC)
2009: $138,932.02 (By this point Dept of Elections figures show over $561,000 aggregate contributions from DSEA to this PAC over the previous several years)
2010: $167,304.90 (Mostly direct from DSEA)
2011: $207,839.00 (Including another $70K plus from DSEA to its own PAC)
That's how much raised in five years to be spent influencing Delaware elections?
Ah, uh . . . over a million dollars. . .
And how much was spent?
2007: $63,691.38
Highlight: over $20K shipped back to DSEA to pay DSEA staff (to work on political campaigns?)2008: $712,000 plus
Highlights: Nearly $30,000 in polling (how much of that was push polling?)2009: $38,757.51
Highlights: Over $16K laundered into yet another PAC (Working Families of Delaware); political contributions to BOTH the DE GOP and Dem parties, as well as over two dozen candidates including school board candidates in Christina, Red Clay, Colonial, and Cape Henlopen, all of whom benefited from the max direct contributions and the ubiquitous DSEA/Working Families glossy fliers)2010: $202,677.70 plus
Highlight: dozens of additional candidates supported and over $16,000 sent to Belden, Russonello & Stewart of Washington DC for "polling" (They proudly list DSEA as one of their favorite customers) and another $20,000 to Public Policy Polling for same.2011: $32,798.14
Highlights: Over $16,000 for glossy mailers for dozens more candidates.
Please note: these numbers are low. You have to go dig back through at least four different interlocking DSEA-controlled PACs and a whole cartload of "independent expenditures" reports that are often not rolled up in the other totals.
And the DSEA PACs have been equal opportunity donators--Republicans and Democrats alike, anybody who can later be counted on.
Now it could be argued (a) that at least I can know who contributed this money, and (b) who is supporting all these candidates.
The fact of the matter is that Voices 4 Delaware Education will have to file all the same paperwork; you only get know about any of this after the fact.
It is also often argued that one "side" in the Delaware Education Civil War is "wall street" and the other "side" is teachers, and that it is preferrable to have "teachers" shaping our elections with hundreds of thousands of dollars annually than to have corporate leaders doing so.
Two fallacies there.
1--The teachers, after they pay their mandated dues, have absolutely no say in how the money is spent once that money is turned over to the PAC. In fact, it would be illegal for them to have any say in it at that point. A small group of essentially faceless people makes those decisions and is accountable to virtually no one once the checks are signed.
2--Many of the people raising the outcry about "super secret money"--politicans, school board members, and bloggers--had no qualms in previous years about taking their own "super secret money" and benefiting from fliers and mailers and emails and polls over which they maintained the carefully required fictitious position that they had not "coordinated" any of this between the PACs and their campaigns. This is the position that those folks are now criticizing when other people do it.
The system, folks, has been contaminated downward from presidential races all the way to school boards, and it is filthy corrupt now.
But here are two dirty little secrets people don't like to discuss:
1--It was DSEA that monetized school board elections in Delaware, and $1,000,000 of political contributions and PAC spending five years later it is more than a bit disingenuous to pretend that somehow the other "side" is now violating a pristine system.
2--The corporate spending in these elections mirrors everything shabby and wrong with our general election system; fliers like the one condemning the Christina School Board are the logical extension of a process that has long been in motion, and . . .
. . . which nobody on either "side" seems to want to rise above, while those of our children not lucky enough to have effective parental advocacy are the only losers.
Disclaimer: I am supporting and working for Joanne Johansen's campaign for the Red Clay School Board this year. Today we got a mailer in favor of Joanne from the same Voices 4 Delaware Education Fund, which--thankfully--was all positive and did not attack her opponent, who is a gifted teacher and a good man. Joanne is NOT the candidate endorsed by RCEA/DSEA; draw what conclusions you will.

Remember when news broke that Ryan Murphy was going to give Kurt a love interest on this season of Glee? Well, every time a new dude has been cast this year, the internet has gone wild: "This is the guy! This is the one! Kurt's Big Gay Boyfriend!" So far we've all been wrong, wrong, wrong — until now.
This week's episode, "Never Been Kissed," finds Kurt visiting (or transferring) to an all-boys school, and this guy — Blaine (played by Darren Criss) — really is the one! Kurt's very own teenage dream!
The clip has already generated over 100 comments from our brothers at AfterElton.com, and here's what editor in chief Michael Jensen had to say about it:
Like our gay brothers, we wish our high school experience had been a little more like this! And so we've run the clip through our Pop-up Video Translator and Subtext Decoder, so we (and Brittany!) can enjoy it just a little longer!

John Wooden, college basketball's gentlemanly Wizard of Westwood who built one of the greatest dynasties in all of sports at UCLA and became one of the most revered coaches ever, died Friday night. He was 99.
The university said Wooden died Friday night of natural causes at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he had been hospitalized since May 26.
With his signature rolled-up game program in hand, Wooden led the Bruins to 10 NCAA championships, including an unmatched streak of seven in a row from 1967 to 1973.
U.S. & World
Over 27 years, he won 620 games, including 88 straight during one historic stretch, and coached many of the game's greatest players — including Bill Walton and Lew Alcindor.
As a coach, he was groundbreaking trendsetter who demanded his players be in great condition so they could play an up-tempo style not well-known on the West Coast at the time.
But the Wizard's legacy extended well beyond that.
He was the master of the simple one- or two-sentence homily, instructive little messages best presented in his famous "Pyramid of Success," which remains must-read material, not only for fellow coaches but for anyone in a leadership position in American business.
NBC Los Angeles has learned that Wooden's funeral will be private.

DAYTON, Ohio � The preferred way for North Carolina State to reflect on Friday�s NCAA tournament game would have been to break down the late-game comeback.
But that went for naught because too much damage had been done by Temple � if not self-inflicted in several ways � in Friday afternoon�s 76-72 NCAA tournament loss at University of Dayton Arena.
�It�s frustrating to have a start like that,� N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said. �We just didn�t guard them for 40 minutes. It�s real simple. We guarded them for 20. Didn�t guard them for the first 20. Tough way to go out.�
Some of the numbers are mind-boggling considering eighth-seeded N.C. State (24-11) shot 70.4 percent (19 of 27) from the field in the second half, when it limited its turnovers to three.
Guard Khalif Wyatt, despite coping with a re-aggravated thumb injury in the waning minutes, scored 31 points for ninth-seeded Temple (24-9), which has won eight of its last nine games going into Sunday�s game against top-seeded Indiana. The Hoosiers defeated James Madison 83-62 in the second game.
Temple teammate Jake O�Brien, a transfer from Boston University, scored 13 of his 18 points in the first half.
N.C. State�s Lorenzo Brown ended with 22 points and C.J. Leslie had 20 (10 in each half), while Richard Howell supplied 14 points and 15 rebounds. Scott Wood had 10 points.
Even though N.C. State trailed by 18 points early in the second half, it rallied in its tournament opener. Brown missed a potential tying 3 with 1:31 to play. The Wolfpack had seven more possessions, but never with a chance to pull even.
Still, it was the beginning that was the sticking point.
�We didn�t play well at the start and it definitely showed,� Wood said.
After Temple�s 12-4 lead that resulted in an N.C. State time-out, the Wolfpack caught up before the Owls strung together nine points in a row for a 24-15 edge.
�We didn�t come out and match the intensity,� Leslie said.
The halftime count showed Temple with a 38-24 lead, shooting 53.3 percent from the field and feasting at times on 10 N.C. State turnovers.
�It was just us, careless,� Brown said.
The score was 47-30 with less than 16 minutes to play before the Wolfpack racked up nine consecutive points.
Wood, a swingman, notched his first points on a pair of free throws with 5:41 to play, closing the gap to 59-49. His first field goal was a 3-pointer with 3:30 left, making it 62-57.
Temple missed four consecutive free throws coming down the stretch, and when Wood hit another 3 it was 63-60 with more than three minutes left.
Temple was without a field goal for the last 4:39, but the verdict was settled on two Wyatt foul shots with 2.2 seconds showing. Wyatt, a senior, reached the 30-point plateau for the sixth time this season.
The Owls were gracious by missing 11 second-half free throws, but they canned six of their last seven attempts.
�I thought our first half was about as good as we could play,� Temple coach Fran Dunphy said. �� We had a nice lead, but N.C. State is too powerful a team to have it be easy for us down the stretch.�
Temple shot 48 percent from the field for its best rate in nearly a month.
�I don�t think we did a good job contesting shots,� Brown said. �I knew they had shooters, but I didn�t think they would shoot like that.�

These days, the experts aren't just on the trails—they're in the kitchens as well. We asked some of our favorite chefs at our favorite resorts (as chosen in our just-released 2012 Ski Poll) where they go to eat, drink, spa, and—yes—ski.
Artisanal cheeses from Vermont's Jasper Hill Farm, Lazy Lady Farms, and Mt. Mansfield Creamery take center stage in the cheese course at Stowe Mountain Lodge's Solstice restaurant. This winter, Berry is adding Casco Bay cod (pictured) to the menu (802-760-4735; entrées from $19). His suggestions for Stowe-bound skiers include:
Ski "On a powder day, grab the Over Easy Gondola to the main gondola and follow the snow. Switchback is a great run, or hit the bumps on Chin Clip. I get a few turns in and hightail it to the restaurant in time for lunch."
après "You can't beat the views over Mount Washington from the Cliff House Restaurant [top of the Gondola; 802-253-3665; entrées from $18]."

YANKEES: Francisco Cervelli says he consulted with Biogenesis
TAMPA, Fla. -- Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli says he consulted with Biogenesis of America LLC after a foot injury, but did not receive any treatment from the facility.
Cervelli said a recommendation to visit the clinic did not come from another player or an agent. He declined to name the person who gave the recommendation.
"I checked with doctors, people, and somebody recommended me to Biogenesis," Cervelli said Wednesday before New York's first spring training workout for pitchers and catchers. "I went there for, maybe, suggestions, and that's it. I walked away with nothing. No (therapy). I just went there, talked, and that's it."
The Miami New Times reported last month that Cervelli's teammate, Alex Rodriguez, bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances in recent years from Biogenesis, a now-closed clinic in Coral Cables near the three-time AL MVP's offseason home.
Cervelli said he had not talked about Biogenesis with Rodriguez.
"No ... never," Cervelli said.
Major League Baseball is investigating the possible link between players and Biogenesis. Cervelli has not been contacted by MLB officials.
"I believe they have an open investigation right now, so I don't have a lot of things to say," Cervelli said. "If they have to come to me, I will be able to talk to them."
Cervelli sought outside consultations after hurting his foot in 2011.
"Right now, I realize that maybe it's a mistake to go there, but it's already happened," Cervelli said. "So, what can I do?"
Cervelli said he has never used a substance banned by baseball.

Can Money Buy Education?
Radical homemaker Shannon Hayes taught her daughter that their family doesn't buy things they can make or grow at home. She then had to wonder: Does that include higher education?
This past November, I began a home school unit with my six-year-old daughter, Saoirse, on money. We opened our investigation by reading stories on the history of money. To paraphrase, early people originally made the things they needed. Then they began trading for the things they needed or wanted that they couldn't make. The barter system worked out fine, as long as each party in the exchange had something that the other wanted. When that was no longer the case, money entered the marketplace as a tool to facilitate exchange. Eventually, in an effort to devise something that was relatively portable and of somewhat universal value, the Sumerians came up with the first silver coins.
From Ancient Sumerians to Modern SustainabilitySaoirse and I traveled around our home and farm and explored the different things we do to earn money, and the different things we spend it on. When it came to the spending, I explained the basic process that my husband Bob and I adhere to. When we are in a store and see something we think we want or need, the first, most important question we must ask ourselves is, "Is this something we can make or grow ourselves?" To illustrate, we talked about the grocery store. "Would we buy meat in a grocery store?"
"No," she answered.
"Why not?"
"Because we grow it ourselves." I smiled at the aptitude of my brilliant scholar.
Confident she was understanding, I continued my lesson. "If we decide that this is something we can't make ourselves, then we must next ask three questions. One: Is it good for the planet? Two: Is it good for my community? Three: Is it important to me?" In an effort to keep things as simple as possible, I told her that typically, if you can answer "yes" to at least two out of the three questions, then you proceed to the final question: Can I afford it?
Three Jars of Money: Charity, Spending and….College Debt?The next step in our lesson was working for an allowance. Since she is six years old, we selected six jobs, for which she would be paid six dollars at the end of the week. On pay day, I proudly presented her with three jars.
"What are these for?"
"This is how we're going to divide up your money. The first jar is for charity." (Giving money to causes we cared about had been an earlier lesson.) I helped her spell out the word, and she carefully decorated the jar. Then we counted out ten percent of her allowance and tossed it in. "The second jar is your spending money. What you put in here can be used on anything you like." Smiling, crayon in hand, she carefully wrote out "SAOIRSE'S SPENDING MONEY." We counted out $2.70, and she plunked it into the jar. "And the last jar is the most important jar. It's for your savings." She wrote out the word, and as she was about to toss in the remaining money, I added, "that's money you can use to go to college someday."
Saoirse's hand stopped. She didn't drop a single coin in. Instead, she furrowed her brow and stared at me head-on. "But I don't want to go to college."
This? From my own child? Everyone in my family has gone to college. My father, brother, and I all have PhD.s. My father worked for over thirty years as a college professor. From the day we started our family, Bob and I have dutifully kept savings accounts for our children, where we've squirreled away ten to fifteen percent of our income. Each girl receives about $2800 per year.
But despite my outward endorsements of a college education, I believe my daughter was honing in on my own insecurities. According to a simple online college savings calculator, if Saoirse attends a four-year public school in-state, the cost will be $158,447. At my family's current rate of savings, she might be able to purchase one-third of a college degree. To date, I've yet to identify a socially responsible, prudent investment vehicle that would enable our money to keep up with the annual increases in college education.
Still, we are better off than most families. Bob and I paid his college debt off before we were married. I lived at home for my first two years of college, and my parents were able to pay for the remaining two years at a state school while I held a job to cover my incidental expenses. I worked as a research assistant in exchange for my graduate education. The added bonus is that we attended school a number of years ago. College tuition for two kids attending at the same time was about 20 percent of my parents' income. If Bob and I stay on our current trajectory, one year of college for our two children will be almost 200 percent of our family earnings. And we are faring better than many other families. With no college debt of our own, we are an unusual family. Many new parents are saddled with their own school loans while simultaneously facing the expenses of their children's future degrees.
A New Way of Learning for a New EconomyThe above debt figure may seem reasonable to some folks. For many people in this country, assuming debt for an education is an acceptable practice, as is working at jobs that may provide more income to meet these expenses. However, that doesn't resonate well in our family. To the extent possible, we resist debt, because we feel it forces families into situations that compromise their values.
Meet the Radical HomemakersAs Radical Homemakers, Bob and I choose to live our lives by the four tenets of ecological sustainability, social justice, and family and community well-being. Excessive debt or expenses can require parents to spend too many hours away from their children, friends and extended family; to work jobs that may condone the extraction and abuses of our earth's resources and people; and it can tear families and communities apart as people become nomadic employees, traversing the nation and world seeking higher pay and overlooking the things in life that bring them the most joy.
How families are achieving ecological, social, and economic transformation, starting under their own roofs.
How families are achieving ecological, social, and economic transformation, starting under their own roofs.
We could tell our children that they are responsible for their future college expenses. However, while it seems natural to us that a young person may need to borrow some money in order to start her life, stepping out of college with over $100,000 in debt could potentially force our daughters to pursue work that would be an anathema to the values we have tried very hard to uphold as a family. Parents like us must choose between living according to our values and dreams, and having adequate funds for our children to go away to college. Ultimately, Bob and I decided that allowing our kids to witness their parents and grandparents joyously living their beliefs was a far more powerful education for our daughters than any college tuition.
Yet compulsively, even though I know we won't be able to afford it, I tuck money away for Saoirse's schooling. I guess I keep thinking that there will be some kind of divine intervention that will enable us to come up with the funds. As she holds the money over that third jar, I realize that Saoirse is looking at it differently.
"You don't want to go to college?" I ask her to explain her thinking.
"No. I learn at home."
I consider her remark carefully, and try to put it in the context of what we've been studying together. I reflect on our historical lessons. Early people only engaged in exchanges for things that they could not produce for themselves. And then I remember the first, most important question I put before Saoirse when considering spending money: Is this something I can grow or make myself? Saoirse felt that education was something we could produce ourselves.
I am a product of a culture that believes education comes from experts. As a result, it has also taken me thirty years to learn to trust myself to be my own teacher.
As Saoirse hesitates over that third jar, in her innocent questioning, she is identifying a great sickness in our culture. We don't trust ourselves to be our own teachers. We hesitate to regard a person as intelligent or capable without confirmation of a degree. The upshot of this is that bricks and mortar institutions (which, incidentally, must increasingly seek corporate funding and appeal to corporate interests in order to meet their expenses) are regarded as the sole proprietors of new knowledge and new ideas. When advancements happen outside the institutions, they are looked at as extraordinary marvels, unique exceptions to the rule.
Take Back Your Education

"Nobody gives you an education. Only you can educate you—and you can't do it by memorizing."
by John Taylor Gatto
"Nobody gives you an education. Only you can educate you—and you can't do it by memorizing."
Is it really critical that my daughter goes to college? Maybe not. I am thankful for my own schooling, but in truth, I am a product of a culture that believes education comes from experts. As a result, it has also taken me thirty years to learn to trust myself to be my own teacher. That may not be the case for Saoirse. As the parent, my job is to help her develop her intellect and confidence such that she can pursue her education wherever she chooses—in the classroom, with personal mentors, on a farm, at the local library, or through myriad life experiences. Rather than worrying about paying for college, it is more important that I focus on helping my daughter to become her own teacher. And hopefully, by nurturing an ability to self-teach, our family will participate in a cultural shift, where Americans come to realize that we can take responsibility for our own learning. It need not be something that is spoon-fed to us. And maybe someday, as a nation, we will acknowledge that intelligent, capable people can walk many different paths, and there is not one single route to credentials and wisdom.
Saoirse's hand is still poised over that jar. Finally I say, "Well, maybe you will want to go to college someday. Maybe you'll want it for something different. Maybe you'll use it to start a business, or to do something else that's really important to you. I guess that's not something we have to decide today."
"So what am I saving for?"
"Your future. Whatever you may choose."
Satisfied, she plunks the money in the jar.

The storage industry's use of flash memory advanced significantly in 2012, as all the major and many of the secondary vendors unveiled their strategies and products. The years also saw a staggering array of new options for using flash memory to increase storage performance, including:
* Several startup vendors introduced all-flash storage arrays in which the hard drives have been replaced by either SSDs or flash memory modules for ultra-high-performance applications.
* PCIe flash modules for servers, which were introduced last year as a way to increase application performance, got a big boost from a couple of vendors that introduced ways to tie modules from multiple servers to share the cache and applications.
* Network-based flash-based cache devices, which allow multiple servers or storage devices to share flash-based storage across a LAN, also hit the market.

LAS VEGAS — The stack of giant neon letters just beyond the gates of the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas are unlit. Flecks of turquoise, ruby and jade paint chips dot the gravel field. There are rusted metal beams, twisted tubes, cracked light bulbs and 40 foot tall (12 meter tall) skeletons plucked from the rubble of imploded casinos.

Miles from the blinking marquees of the Las Vegas Strip, this is where neon signs go to die.
In a city that hums of impulse and overstimulation, where investors flock to what's hot and new and visitors empty their wallets at the promise of instant entertainment, the three-acre lot that displays relics from classic Las Vegas buildings offers a rare opportunity for retrospection.Slideshow: Viva Las Vegas! (on this page)
Now, after years as a hidden memorial open only to a few, the 15-year-old collection has announced plans to open a fully operating museum in 2011 and an adjacent public park later this month.
As Las Vegas casinos increasingly adopt LED and LCD screens, the expanded Neon Boneyard will allow visitors to regularly tour a unique tribute to a city known for periodically bulldozing its past.
The remote yard features signs from historic wedding chapels, used car lots and prohibition speakeasies. An oversized billiards player clad in bellbottoms stands near a massive skull that recently haunted tourists at the Treasure Island casino and hotel. A few steps away, the looping, 40-foot moniker from the Moulin Rouge is all that remains of Las Vegas' first integrated casino. A mishmash of neon stars and futuristic letters similarly acknowledge the now imploded Stardust hotel and casino, whose cosmic sign was once synonymous with Las Vegas glitz.
For Elvis Presley fans, a gold lamp is a rare artifact from the extinct Aladdin casino, where Presley and Priscilla Ann Wagner married in 1967.
"It's uniquely American," said Susan Shaw, a 50-year-old New York artist who stops by the Neon Boneyard whenever she is in Las Vegas. "There is something about this shady, shameless self-promotion. It's like, 'Here we are, we are open for business.'"
Neon signs were introduced to the United State at the 1893 World Fair in Chicago. But no city embraced the luminous tube lights quite like Las Vegas, where gambling moguls, mob bosses and even mom-and-pop storefronts covered the desert in enough neon to outshine New York's Times Square.
Most popular
"There was so much neon you could walk down the street reading a newspaper at night," said Bill Marion, the museum's board chairman.
Acclaimed architect Robert Venturi's ode to Las Vegas in 1977 captured it well: "What was Rome to the pilgrim, Las Vegas is now for the gambler. In Rome they could walk from church to church, the Obelisks and Piazzas were guiding them. In Las Vegas we can go from casino to casino, guided by the signs and symbols."
His tome helped spark the preservationist movement.
Volunteers became urban detectives, sniffing out demolition projects and rushing to construction sites to beg for doomed signs.

With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.

Developers and signmakers eager to preserve a piece of their work gradually began donating the signs to the collection. The Neon Boneyard officially opened its doors in 1996.
"Really, we do implode and recreate ourselves all the time," said Nancy Deaner, a Boneyard founder and manager of the city's cultural affairs office. "People thought, 'why wouldn't we want to preserve our cultural icons, which are these signs?'"
Until the museum opens next December, volunteers offer twice-daily tours. But tickets, at $15 each, must be reserved at least two weeks in advance. Otherwise, the gates are locked.
The unusual shapes and forms of the yard have been splashed across Harper's BAZAAR magazine and a music video featuring The Killers. Hundreds of couples, engaged or newly married, pose for pictures there every year.
The collection also includes a historic building.Video: $3.9 billion casino opens in Las Vegas (on this page)
The owner of the La Concha Motel on the Las Vegas Strip announced in 2003 that he was going to replace the 1960's hotel with a larger model, effectively condemning the landmark's shell-shaped lobby to a bulldozer. Preservationists intervened and in December 2006 the swooping structure was sliced into eight pieces and moved next to the Neon Boneyard to provide the seeds of the museum's expansion.
As a first step, the menagerie of dusty plexiglass, fluorescent bulbs and crunched steel was temporarily shuttered in February and its 150 vintage signs were arranged for the first time by era to create a chronological narrative. Some of the signs will eventually be lighted again.

Groups warn insecurity compounds aid crisis affecting millions in Central African Republic
DAKAR, Senegal – Human rights and aid groups say continued insecurity in Central African Republic has compounded a humanitarian crisis affecting the country's entire population of 4.6 million people.
Nine aid agencies issued a joint statement Friday saying there was an $80 million funding gap to address a deteriorating situation that has left 60,000 people facing severe food shortages.
Researchers at Human Rights Watch have confirmed attacks on 34 villages and towns since February, leading to the deaths of at least 40 civilians and the destruction of more than 1,000 houses.
The rights group said this week that many of the attacks were carried out by fighters from the Seleka rebel coalition, which ousted President Francois Bozize in March. A minister in the transitional government said Seleka fighters were not responsible.

ok. i liked AFI better than Jim. haha. i'm just that more obsessed with punk rock/music than I am with Jim. anyways, i think that whole coming out on stage thing and all was the most unhumble thing I've ever seen. I don't think I'm calling Jim humble anymore. anyways, it was still an okay show. He looked good in white but I was a little turned off. I don't know why.
Hmmm... I don't know about the applemac problem, but I would think for anyone with a PC (in any country?), you could just link to the link I've pasted below, and then at the bottom of the page where it says On TV on MTV Overdrive, click on the two pictures: the top pic (The 2006 MTV Movie Awards) leads you to the acceptance speech clip, and one below it (All Up In The Movie Awards) leads you to the clip of the backstage stuff.

Fayette's board of education looked at a plan Monday night that should help relieve traffic congestion when the new school opens later this year.
Jim Price of the Buehrer Group architectural firm presented a drawing for a second entry drive onto the school property off County Road R.
The second drive would intersect the front parking lot on the west edge and serve as a convenient entry for parents driving students to school.
Drivers will be able to drop children off in front of the school, then loop around and leave by the same drive, without entering the main traffic path used by school buses and students who are driving themselves to school.
The second drive will enhance safety by splitting up traffic flow, Price said, and it will provide another entry in the case of an accident in the main entrance.
The second drive will be bid as part of the final paving project, but if the cost is too high, funds from the building project contingency fund could be used. About a quarter million dollars of the original $682,000 contingency remains, Price said, and that includes the cost of the storage tank for fire fighting.
"We're doing very well in that respect," he said.
Eighty percent of what isn't used in the contingency fund will go back to Columbus, noted superintendent of schools Russ Griggs.
A long-term goal calls for construction of a road at the back of the school that would connect with Rehn Drive to the west, Griggs said.
BIDS—Board members gave Price the authority to send out specifications for the final two bid packages for the new school.
Bids will be accepted for the top coat paving in the drive and parking lot, striping in the parking areas and the construction of the second drive.
The second package will cover landscape plantings.
The only bid package remaining—though not part of the new school—is the demolition of the old buildings. According to the agreement with DH Holdings, buildings are to be leveled within three months of completion of the new school, Price said, although there's a possibility for an extension of the deadline.
Price said pricing on a 15,000 gallon submerged water tank for use by the fire department came in at $55,767. The state facilities building program approved the engineering plan and a building permit has been obtained.
School board members scheduled a tour of the new school at 5:45 p.m. before the regular March 17 meeting at 7 p.m.

Terulia Relay Chat (TRC) is the only practical system for user-to-user communication between BYOND games currently in existence.
More specifically, by including the TRC library in your game(s), your players will be able to communicate with TRC users in other games. Information is passed between games via the Terulia Forum Service.
What exactly does TRC do?
1) TRC allows players to communicate between games. Each forum hosted by the Terulia Forum Service has a text identifier referred to as a domain. (e.g. "main" is the domain for "Terulia Forum Service: Main") These same domains serve as TRC channels. Thus is you send a chat message to the "main" channel, everyone subscribed to "Terulia Forum Service: Main" will receive the message. Or in cases where you only want to contact a single user, TRC also includes a /tell system.
2) TRC notifies your players of any new private messages as well as new posts in forums to which they have subscribed. If you post in any forum on the Forum Service, everyone subscribed to that particular forum will receive a TRC notification in under 2 seconds.
3) With the simple /join command and a single click, TRC allows players to easily locate and join their friends in hosted games.
TRC channels (corresponding to user-made forums) are moderated by their respective forum administrators, but even in a channel without active moderation, it is easy to avoid unsolicited/spam messages from problem users.
1) Forum Service members will only receive notifications from forums to which they have subscribed.
2) TRC notifications can be specifically disabled on a forum-by-forum basis through the online User Control Panel.
3) Problem users can be blocked directly via the /block command in TRC.
TRC supports the same color schemes as the Terulia Forum Service, allowing for customization on the user's end. If you choose to implement the default interface, the TRC can also save the relative position of the TRC chat window. (Some users prefer it at the top, while others prefer it at the bottom.)
How can you implement TRC in your projects?
1) download the library
2) include the library in your project
3a) compile the library using the included interface (replaces BYOND's default interface), or
3b) create your own interface window and/or input/output system however you like
4) compile and run
v1.4.1 - added new definition TRC_AUTOLOGIN & split trc_parse() from trc_remote_query()
v1.4.0 - support for timestamps; may be toggled via Options
v1.3.3 - small bug fix re: client logouts

It's down while I'm moving into my new apartment. Aside from the past 3 days, it hasn't been down for any appreciable length of time since it went up. It should be back up by this coming weekend. (Contrary to popular belief, I do have non-BYOND obligations.)
KetchupKid: (Jun 11 2011, 5:56 am)
Was going to use this for a game I'm thinking about, but the website isn't up so I may have to think of a more reliable way to do inter-server chat. Great job it seems promising. How often is it down?
National Guardsmen: (Apr 2 2011, 11:39 pm)
Very neat, integrated it into my game Perdita.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday cleared the way for a significant increase in federal dollars for embryonic stem cell research and promised no scientific data will be "distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda."
Obama signed the executive order on the divisive stem cell issue and a memo addressing what he called scientific integrity before an East Room audience packed with scientists. He laced his remarks with several jabs at the way science was handled by former President George W. Bush.
"Promoting science isn't just about providing resources, it is also about protecting free and open inquiry," Obama said. "It is about letting scientists like those here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient especially when it's inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology."
'Scientific integrity'
He said his memorandum is meant to restore "scientific integrity to government decision-making." He called it the beginning of a process of ensuring his administration bases its decision on sound science; appoints scientific advisers based on their credentials, not their politics; and is honest about the science behind its decisions.
Fulfilling a campaign promise, Obama signed the order that on stem cell research that supporters believe could uncover cures for serious ailments from diabetes to paralysis. Proponents from former first lady Nancy Reagan to the late actor Christopher Reeve had pushed for ending the restrictions on research.
Obama paid tribute to Reeve, calling him a tireless advocate who was dedicated to raising awareness to the promise of research.
Obama's action reverses Bush's stem cell policy by undoing his 2001 directive that banned federal funding for research into stem lines created after Aug. 9, 2001.
The president said his administration would work aggressively to make up for the ground he said was lost due to Bush's decision, though it can't be known how much more federal money will be spent on the research until grants are applied for and issued.
"Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident," Obama declared.
Embryonic stem cells are master cells that can morph into any cell of the body. Scientists hope to harness them so they can create replacement tissues to treat a variety of diseases — such as new insulin-producing cells for diabetics, cells that could help those with Parkinson's disease or maybe even Alzheimer's, or new nerve connections to restore movement after spinal injury.
Criticism and praise
House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, criticized Obama, saying in a statement that the president had "rolled back important protections for innocent life, further dividing our nation at a time when we need greater unity to tackle the challenges before us."
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell also expressed disapproval in a statement, saying, "I support biomedical research and I believe the administration would be far better served by directing taxpayer funds to research on non-embryonic stem cells, which is both effective and ethical."
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., applauded the president's actions, saying in a statement, "With today's executive order, President Obama has righted an immense wrong done to the hopes of millions of patients."
The Obama order reverses that without addressing a separate legislative ban, which precludes any federal money for the development of stem cell lines. The legislation, however, does not prevent funds for research on those lines created without federal funding.
Researchers say the newer lines created with private money during the period of the Bush ban are healthier and better suited to creating treatment for diseases.
Obama called his decision a "difficult and delicate balance," an understatement of the intense emotions generated on both sides of the long, contentious debate. He said he came down on the side of the majority of Americans who support increased federal funding for the research, both because strict oversight would prevent problems and because of the great and lifesaving potential it holds.
"Rather than furthering discovery, our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values," Obama said. "In this case, I believe the two are not inconsistent. As a person of faith, I believe we are called to care for each other and work to ease human suffering."
Obama warned against overstating the eventual benefits of the research, but he said his administration "will vigorously support scientists who pursue this research," taking another slap at Bush in the process.
Investing in treatments
"I cannot guarantee that we will find the treatments and cures we seek. No president can promise that. But I can promise that we will seek them actively, responsibly, and with the urgency required to make up for lost ground," he said.
It's a matter of competitive advantage globally as well, the president argued.
"When government fails to make these investments, opportunities are missed. Promising avenues go unexplored," Obama said.
But the president was insistent that his order would not open the door to human cloning.
"We will develop strict guidelines, which we will rigorously enforce, because we cannot ever tolerate misuse or abuse," Obama said. "And we will ensure that our government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction. It is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society, or any society."

Mindful of debt, Alma College to pay for 5th year
- The Alma Commitment goes into effect in fall 2013
- Officials say program is built around protecting students from massive college debt
- 75% of Alma's 2011 graduated owed some sort of federal student loan debt
ALMA, Mich. — The University of Kentucky wants Zakkary Hardyniec to go to school there, not because of his jump shot, but because of the work the Alma College junior is doing on muscle stem cells.
The 21-year-old from Wayne, Mich., has been to the University of Kentucky for one fellowship. The scientists he has worked with with are eager for him to come there for his postgraduate work.
"Alma really opened a lot of doors for me to do some really good research," Hardyniec said recently.
Alma officials want more of the school's students to have the same type of opportunities that Hardyniec and others who have traveled the globe doing internships have had, but realize there is a big barrier to that — money.
That's why the private college, located about 45 minutes north of Lansing, Mich., will make all of its students eligible for a new $2,500 stipend to pursue an internship, a summer research project or some other off-campus study option.
The stipend — likely to be handed out in a student's junior year — is one part of a new program called the Alma Commitment.
The centerpiece of that program is a promise from the college to pay the cost of completing a degree for any student who meets the school's requirements but fails to graduate within four years.
The Alma Commitment goes into effect in fall 2013 and is built around protecting students from massive college debt while increasing their chances at good learning situations.
"We want to enable our students to have an internship or other meaningful experience," said Alma President Jeff Abernathy. "But we know that for many of them, they can't, because they can't afford to not work during the summer because they need that money to help pay for school."
Alma had 1,464 students enroll last fall, with 29% of them qualifying for Pell Grants, which are awarded to lower-income students. Twelve percent of the students on campus are minorities and nearly 40% are first-generation students.
About 80% of Alma students graduate within four years, officials said. That compares with a national average of 31% for public institutions and 52% for private schools, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
The Alma Commitment is not a unique program nationally, but very few places do it, Alma leaders said.
"We believe that graduating in five years instead of four years is more than just having to pay additional tuition and housing costs," Abernathy said. "It's also an opportunity cost. Not only are you paying more if you stay that additional year, you're also losing out on an opportunity to start earning and to start paying off debt. It will put those students ahead a year or two of their peers."
The cost of higher education has been a hot topic in recent years as prices at private and public colleges and universities continue to climb, even as experts say advanced degrees are more necessary to landing a job.
Although Alma has a higher percentage of students who graduate with debt — 75 percent of its 2011 graduates owed some sort of federal student loan debt — the average debt, at $21,907, is several thousand dollars lower. That's despite Alma's much higher tuition.
Tuition for 2012-13 is $30,700 a year, putting Alma in the top 10 of Michigan's private colleges, data submitted to the federal government show. That's nearly triple the average tuition at a Michigan public university.
Alma administrators say they balance those costs with generous financial aid, but also say that's why the Alma Commitment is a big deal.
In order to qualify for it, students have to follow Alma's path, but officials said there's flexibility in it. They also are working to beef up classes offered in the spring term, which runs at the end of the traditional school year, to make sure students can get through the needed classes.
The college said it is also beefing up its advising — making sure faculty and staff are involved early and often with students as they move through their schooling.
Students also will have access to a number of planning conferences and workshops designed to help in areas such as financial management, developing resumes, finding internships and related topics.

I would like to create a ISO file for testing optical drives with the method mentioned here. I want to create an ISO file filled with random data, so I can burn it to a CD, read it back and compare with the original ISO. I think the command bellow will do what I want.
dd if=/dev/urandom of=cd-rom_test.iso bs=2048 count=333000
However, I am unsure of a few things.
First of all what should the block size be? Do ISO images include the header and error correction data that is on a CD? Should the block size be 2048 (without header and error correction) or 2352 (with header and error correction)?
Secondly, a few sites I have come across have
sync in the
conv option (example here). Which as far as I can see fills the header and error correction information with 0s, which surely isn't right.

Is my company breaking the law with its overtime policy?
When is it legal to offer comp time?
With each passing year, the average work week seems to be getting longer. Back in the 1950s or 1960s, the 40-hour work week was standard. But in the hustle and bustle of modern-day America, you almost feel like an underachiever if you're not putting in at least 55 or 60 hours a week.
Even though the length of the work week has changed in the figurative sense, in the eyes of the federal government a standard work week is still 40 hours. If your employer asks you to work more than 40 hours in a given week, they might be required by law to pay you overtime, or time and a half, for every hour worked over 40 hours.
Generally speaking, if you earn an hourly wage, you are likely eligible for overtime pay. But under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), several types of employees are exempt from overtime laws, including:
·Administrative employees
·Small farm employees
·Computer specialists
Most states have overtime laws that include the same exemptions, but many states have laws that go beyond federal law under the FLSA.
Perhaps you work for a company that provides compensation time, or "comp time," in lieu of overtime pay. You might be surprised to learn that if you're in the private sector and are paid by the hour, your company is probably breaking the law. FLSA prohibits a non-government employer from giving comp time instead of overtime pay to a non-exempt employee – even if the worker would rather have the comp time.
Private sector companies are not required to offer overtime or comp time to exempt employees.
"These companies can offer comp time to salaried workers if they wish, but most don't because they feel the negotiated salary fairly compensates the employee for all the work he or she does regardless of how many hours per week it takes to complete that work," explains attorney Martin Sweet of legal information website THELAW.TV
In recent years, there have been several high-profile lawsuits involving overtime pay. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, nearly 208,000 employees received a total of $175.6 million in minimum wage and overtime back wages as a result of FSLA violations in 2010.
"Most often, these violations involve an employer paying straight-time pay for overtime hours instead of time and a half," adds Sweet.
If you believe your employer owes you overtime back wages or is illegally forcing you to take comp time in place of overtime pay, you can file a complaint with the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. You should also consider consulting with an employment lawyer.

Western Wayne's varsity baseball team fall in opening round of the District Two Class AAA playoffs.
Western Wayne's baseball season came to an unceremonious end against Valley View.
The Wildcats traveled to Archbald Thursday for an opening round District Two playoff game against the top-seeded Cougars and simply couldn't contain the home team's high-octane offensive attack.
Valley View jumped all over Western Wayne starter Kyle Johnson, plating 10 earned runs in the first two innings en route to a Mercy Rule shortened 17-2 win.
With this victory, the Cougars advance to the Class AAA quarters an a date with Pittston Area. The Patriots moved on via a 7-3 decision over Wyoming Area Friday afternoon.
The young Wildcats, who were seeded #16 in the bracket, saw their season come to a close with a disappointing 2-12 record.
Big Guns
Veteran skipper Jason Munley sent Max Kranick to the hill as Valley View's starter and the fire-balling righty took control quickly.
Kranick worked three scoreless innings, limiting the 'Cats to just three hits while fanning six.
Once staked to a big lead, Max handed the ball off to reliever Dominic Bordo, who pitched the final frame.
The Cougars wasted no time in getting to Johnson, who lasted just two innings before yielding to Josh Stevens and eventually Kyle Haines.
Valley View erupted for 10 runs in the bottom of the second, thanks in large part to the hitting heroics of Mitch McHale and Connor Kranick.
A slugging sophomore third baseman, McHale enjoyed a perfect 3-for-3 day at the dish. His biggest blow came in the second when he hammered a bases-clearing double.
McHale closed out his day with two runs scored and three RBIs.
A senior designated hitter, Kranick went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI singles. He also tallied twice.
Max Kranick, who moved to shortstop after his mound stint, helped his own cause with two base knocks, two runs scored an an RBI.
Connor Ferguson, Rob Nardelli and Bordo also chipped in with two RBIs each, while Daulton Rissinger and Cody Canaveri added one apiece.
In the End
Stevens came on to pitch the bottom of the third for Western Wayne and allowed only one run.
Haines took over in the fourth and recorded just one out before Valley View closed things out by pushing its lead to 15 runs.
Offensively, Billy Polley paced the 'Cat attack.
A versatile sophomore who catches and plays first base, Polley accounted for all of his team's runs by ripping an RBI double.
This base knock plated Haines and Kolyn Schane, who also had a hit.
Looking Ahead
In other games around the District Two Class AA bracket...
Wilkes Barre Coughlin whitewashed West Scranton by a score of 7-0. Abington Heights also pitched a shutout, dealing Tunkhannock a 4-0 loss.
Berwick blanked Lake Lehman (3-0), while Prep pummeled Crestwood (9-0).
Closer to home, North Pocono blew open what had been a close game en route to an eventual 11-3 victory over Honesdale.
The only game left on the opening round slate as of Monday was #2 Dallas versus #15 Wilkes Barre GAR. That contest was postponed due to rain.
Weather permitting, the semifinals will be played Thursday, May 22 at the fields of the higher seeds.
This year's Class AAA championship game is set for Monday, May 26 at PNC Field in Moosic.
First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.
Score by Innings...

Although little used, there is a fundamental tool that can be employed to protect oneself from suspicious oils: one's nose. Once you learn the basics of oil sampling, you will be able to find the right oil at the right price.
Two roles are usually acknowledged, namely those played by the farmer and the miller. These are indeed two key professions in the field of oil, but they are not the only ones. Of equal importance are the agronomist, the agriculturalist and the agro-technician. And what about the food technologist? Finally there is the oil specialist, who may encompass all these professions or be specialized in only one of them.
Expertise. The Seventh Journées Méditerranéennes de l'Olivier took place last week in Meknès. The increasing popularity of Mediterranean cuisine throughout the world brings quality oil into the limelight. The Italian experience in a speech focusing on the Oleosalusistem project.

Interview with Pasquale Forte: "Nothing is the same any more. Consumers have changed, but so have their philosophy and approach to life. Today they want to live through their emotions: smelling, tasting, trying. Advertising is a serious job. In order to be influential, it is vital to develop new messages" > Luigi Caricato
Interview with Gian Franco Carli: Our oil is "made by the people who bring it, brought by the people who make it", without using middlemen. You have to experience the product. You have to immerse yourself in it. To the point of saturation. Penetrate through to its heart. In fact, if you can't manage to crystallize what you want to tell consumers in one single idea, one single topic, you can't be creative. A good rule is to always tell the truth, and if possible the whole truth. Because in the long term, only the truth will win over people's trust. And what other purpose should there be for advertising, if not to encourage and establish trust? > Luigi Caricato
Interview to Fabrizio Fusi, founded two companies Castel del Chianti and Fiorentini Firenze: "You have to aim for an oil that's as harmonious as possible. Everyone always wants an oil that's not too fruity, not too bitter and not too pungent. A mild oil raises fewer issues with a consumer, but the milder an EVO is, the more criticism it will encounter during panel tests and in any case, it will have a shorter shelf life" > Luigi Caricato
Her greatest dream is that extra virgin olive oil will become popular all over the world. For Maria Flora Monini it is necessary to invest in advertising. Promoting not only the brand, but also the culture of a product. > Luigi Caricato

Marisa Iocco, chef and owner of Spiga Ristorante in Boston, offers us a typically American dessert, very popular and now considered so familiar that it cannot be taken off the menu, as much as it is required.

Extra Virgin Garda DOP olive oil's distinctive traits are its naturally delicate flavor and its elegance. At the taste it can be recognized for harmony or its organoleptic notes and for the light and balanced aromas: the scents of fresh grass, aromatic herbs, hay and artichoke, together with the typical almond aftertaste, make it unique.
