Hack Your Program: University of Maryland College of Information Studies
18/10/2011 § 17 Comments
Alexandra Carter is the Digital Imaging Librarian at the University of Maryland Libraries in College Park, Maryland, and previously worked in both public and academic libraries. Her current interests include the digital humanities and reference service in archives and special collections. When not busy with library things she reads and watches lots of sci-fi and fantasy, cooks delicious food, and plays board games with friends.
Disclaimer: These are my impressions of the MLS program at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies, based on my own experiences, and are not meant to be representative of the opinions of all students, the college, or the university. I attended the iSchool, as it is informally known, beginning in Fall 2008, and I graduated in May 2010.
Maryland's iSchool currently offers three degree programs: Masters in Library Science (MLS), Masters in Information Management (MIM), and PhD in Information Studies. As of this fall, a Masters in Human Computer Interaction (HCIM) will also be available. The iSchool enrolls over 500 graduate students each year across all degree programs — I recall being told by an admissions advisor several years ago that about 300 of those were MLS students.
The iSchool is located at the main University of Maryland campus in College Park, Maryland. MLS classes are also offered at the Universities at Shady Grove campus in Rockville, Maryland, and online. Starting this fall, it is now possible to complete the MLS program entirely online.
Specializations, Concentrations, and Dual Degree Programs
There are two MLS specializations — Archives, Records, and Information Management and School Library Media — and three concentrations — E-Government, Lifelong Access, and Information and Diverse Populations, with requirements of varying complexity for each. There is also one dual History and Library Science (HiLS) degree program. Though I did take several Archives course, I opted for what students loving refer to as "the general track." If you're interested in a specilization or concentration, it's a good idea to start planning early to make sure you can complete all the required classes.
Program Requirements
There are both "core" and "required" classes at the iSchool. All are mandatory if you'd like to graduate, but there is a difference. Core classes are supposed to be completed within your first 18 credits (though I know anecdotally that this is more a guideline than a strict rule) while required classes may be taken any time during the program.
The core classes are: Information Access (aka "Reference"), Organization of Information, Information Technology, PLUS one of the following, depending on your concentration: Users and Information Context (aka "User Studies 101″), Archival Principles, Practices, and Programs (aka "Intro to Archives"), or Library Media Specialists as Information Professionals.
The required classes are: A management course (there's a School Library Media specific version, and an "everybody else" version) and a 100 hour field study (after being an optional elective, the field study becomes a requirement for all newly admitted students in Fall 2011).
Students also have the option of writing a Masters thesis, but few actually do.
Program Strengths
One of the program's biggest strengths is, undeniably, the location. Maryland's College Park campus is located just outside Washington, D.C. in Prince George's County, Maryland. As college towns go, College Park isn't the greatest, but a 20-30 minute trip via campus shuttle and Metro gets you in to downtown D.C., which is chock full of things to do in your free time. More importantly for your professional aspirations, there are many libaries, archives, and other information centers in the D.C. Metro area.
If you're looking to work, intern, or volunteer during school, you're certain to find something. (It's less certain whether it'll be a paying gig. Sorry!) I personally worked part time on campus during my two years, but I knew others working at federal libraries, law firms, public libraries, local schools, and more. The National Archives and Records Administration is located in College Park—just a short walk, drive, bus, or bike trip away from campus—and many archives students obtain student positions there. Of course, all of this is just a quirk of geography, not a reflection of the program itself, but it's too much of an asset to be overlooked.
As I noted before, there are a number of concentrations and specializations, many of which are well-regarded. (I don't put too much stock in rankings, though. U.S. News recently reported that Maryland had a great program in Digital Libraries. There is no such program, or even any such class.) If you need a school media certification, want to be an archivist, or are otherwise intrigued by one of the specializations, the variety of choices is great.
Program Weaknesses
The fact that you're reading a post on Hack Library School leads me to believe that you have at least a basic awareness of some of the common problems facing LIS education, for instance the theory/practice divide. Yes, that's also an issue at Maryland. And, yes, course offering often don't quite keep up with the most recent developments in the field.
One of the biggest obstacles that I and my fellow students encountered was the iSchool administration. Communication between the administration and students is generally not good. I experienced this first hand when I wanted to transfer credits from another university and received three conflicting sets of instructions: one from an iSchool administrator, one from the iSchool website, and one from the graduate school website. Be prepared for a sometimes frustrating level of misinformation and confusion.
The flip side of the variety offered at Maryland's iSchool is that resources can be stretched pretty thin. Core and required classes have to be offered on a regular basis, which means that other classes sometimes fall to the wayside. Sadly, this means that some really interesting offerings only come around once every 2-3 years. Their appearances in the course schedules can also be dictated by the college's ability to find adjunct instructors.
One thing that's stood out to me over the past three years is the turnover in the iSchool faculty and staff, which stretches the resources of the school further. I'm not privy to any of the administrative politics that undoubtedly have contributed to this trend, but it doesn't work to the benefit of the students. For instance, for some students this means having two or three different advisors over two years.
Student Involvement
iSchool students have established student chapters of several major professional organizations. They include ALA, SLA, ASIST, and SAA (the student chapter goes by Student Archivists at Maryland, or SAM). The activity level of the various organizations varies from year to year, depending on the interest level of the student leaders and the student body at large. The student groups organize a variety of events from chats with area professionals to library and archives tours to monthly happy hours.
Because most students at the iSchool are very busy, it can be difficult to connect with classmates. Students commute to campus from all over the region and most have at least one job or internship. Outside the initial core classes, students from different specializations and concentrations have little contact with each other, so I urge anyone who chooses Maryland to make an effort to meet people outside your niche area. It may involve a little extra effort on your part, but I know that the connections I've made here were well worth it!
There's not a lot of funding to be had in the iSchool. There are Graduate Assistantships available in the college, either in the college office, research centers, or with individual faculty members, but compared to the total number of students, there really aren't many. The University Libraries used to have about 40 Graduate Assistants, but do to funding cuts, there are now closer to 10. Assistantships typically include tuition remission, health insurance, and a stipend.
The federal government has student employment programs of its own. While these won't pay your tuition directly, you should be able to earn a decent wage, and some student positions transition into regular positions when you graduate. The sheer number of federal agencies with offices in the D.C. Metro area makes these jobs well worth looking into, even if you're not looking for a long term career with the federal government.
Maryland residents pay in-state tuition, which is significantly less than out-of-state tuition. Virginia residents are also eligible for in-state tuition through the Academic Common Market because there are no ALA-accredited LIS programs in Virginia. If you're from out of state and would like to come to Maryland, I'd strongly recommend establishing residency first—I definitely wish I had. I had an assistantship for my second year, but took out loans to cover the first year of out of state tuition, which isn't cheap. Also, keep in mind the high cost of living in the region! (I yearn Columbus, Ohio rents.)
The Bottom Line
I took a few great classes at Maryland, and other classes ranging from adequate to irritating. After talking to many librarians who attended programs around the country, I expect this is pretty normal. What I think makes the iSchool experience stand apart are the practical experiences available in the D.C. area for students.
Is it worth moving here from out of state to attend the iSchool? In my opinion, no. There are good things about the program, but it's not so amazing different than any other that it's worth taking on that much debt. If you are a local resident (or are willing to establish residency before enrolling) it's a much better deal.

"For instance, for some students this means having two or three different advisors over two years"
I'm one of those students and, yes, it has been very, very frustrating.
"Communication between the administration and students is generally not good… Be prepared for a sometimes frustrating level of misinformation and confusion."
Heh. Yeah, try doing a semester abroad through another school and getting those credits to count, even if you think you've followed everyone's instructions to the letter before you go. I almost didn't graduate because of that one! :/
Seriously though, as somebody who moved from out of state to go to UMD, the opportunities in DC would've made up for it if it weren't for the INCREDIBLY HIGH cost of living in the area. My rent (for a HOUSE) in Tampa is less than half of what it was (for an apartment) in the DC area. I cannot stress that enough: you will feel like you are hemorrhaging money while you live there.
I went through the process of getting my status changed from non-resident to resident. Prepare to share your life story and disclose your entire financial picture. If you are married, your spouse has to disclose as well. Everything, including copies of your bank statements and cancelled rent checks. But the in-state tuition is about a third of the non-resident tuition.
I was one of the students to have three advisors in my two-year program.
A note about the required courses – they are LIBRARY courses. If you are in the archives track, they are only semi-helpful.
One of the reasons I chose University of Maryland is because of their highly rated Archives program. I don't know what that rating was based on, but it was one of the most neglected departments in the iSchool. There were only two full time professors. Maryland, like many other library schools, massively over-recruited thanks to a shitty economy. I had to beg my way into the REQUIRED intro archives class. I am so disappointed by my experience. I think only two good things came out of the program for me: my friends (hi Alex) and my internships.
Another major failure in my eyes was the lack of a specialized career center, like the one at University of Michigan. We only had the general UMD career center, mostly aimed at undergrads. It was utterly useless. Library science is an incredibly specialized field, with some jobs in higher education, public sector, private corporations, law firms, and government. There is no way a general career center counselor could understand what kinds of qualifications librarians are looking for when they hire.
I think you are right with the theory/practice stuff. Librarians use standards. As a librarian, you should be required to know all of them. You should not receive an MLS without being able to use all the major cataloging standards, and you should not be an archivist without getting training in all the standards associated with that field (DACS, RAD, EAD, MODS, etc). If I had my way, I would get rid of half the core classes and replace them with a class called "All the library and archives standards you will ever have to know ever (except the ones that have not been invented yet)." As it stands now, I guess we're supposed to magically pick up everything we need to know from internships and occasional $70 training session at a conference. For a professional degree, there is no reason to get into philosophical discussion as deep as the ones I had in some of my classes.

I've been really disappointed in my experience @ the iSchool, for a number of reasons, starting with the way they have handled trying to offer an online program. That was supposed to start in Fall of 2010. It was postponed until Fall 2011, and then you can only take classes if you are part of the cohort. Joining the cohort would have slowed me down, so I didn't and I'm having a hard time finding classes to take online. I am willing to commute to College Park, but now they seem to be moving classes to Shady Grove, which is a long commute for me, so I'm really stuck.
That stuff is just my problem, but there are other larger problems. I've gotten conflicting information from my advisor, who seems really nice, but completely clueless. I don't think this is really her fault. The communication problems mentioned here seem to be internal among the staff, in addition to being with the students.
Class quality does vary widely. Unfortunately, my worst class was the one that would have been most relevant and practical if it were well taught. There have been some new teachers added this year, which hopefully will bring new energy and experience to the program.
I have heard a lot about UMD from word of mouth. I'm currently at CUA and it all really gave me MLIS-envy. It does seem like UMD is more progressive in the aspect of tech-oriented classes. But I have to admit that it is nice to hear first-hand that it isn't the utopia I've built in my mind. I believe that a lot of MLIS programs suffer the same deficiencies.
From your Lib School brethren across the border in the District, keep your head up.
I am a perspective student and this post is tremendously helpful, thank you all!
I am wondering if anyone is willing to provide advice for the admissions essays? What to include, what not to include, what will make my admission stand out, etc.
Also, with a current GPA of 3.8, UMD does not require me to submit my GRE scores. Would it be lucrative to do so anyway?
I would be so grateful for advice, tips, recommendations, or any type of input!
thank you!
[...] Other posts have mentioned the overemphasis on theory in some programs. My experience with SIS has been that the faculty balance the dichotomy between theory and practice very well. I believe one of the program's strengths is the background of the faculty, many of whom worked for many years in a library environment. [...]
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website?

An ugly game, that features an ugly tape. The Bills loss to the Jets featured a variety of defensive looks that EJ Manuel had little experience against. The Jets mixed their looks, and had a go-to package that shut down the Bills passing game. Here's the "book" on the Bills offense, for now. All-22 review.
The Buffalo Bills did things right at the NFL Draft. The Sabres can get it done too, with or without the help of a lottery ball. Buffalo is lacking for stars these days, and the near future could see us losing another big one, in Ryan Miller. A new era begins for both teams, and we will need stars if it's ever going to work.

(PARIS) Isabel Marant
With two stores opening in the United States in 2010, Isabel Marant is ready for her close-up. This longtime favorite of French editors (not to mention shoppers), Marant's Fall offering consisted of loads of future best-sellers, from more straightforward leather motorcycle jackets to brocade pants. Red velvet cropped pants, a faded denim jacket (circa 1990s), and a purple mohair strong-shouldered sweater dress aptly reflected what the chicest sent wants to wear rightthisveryminute. A white rabbit fur coat was equally covetable. Same goes for all those lamé jackets and skirts. Expect to hear more--lots more--from this rapidly-rising star.
How delightful. Vanessa Seward has a very particular aesthetic, and luckily, it's one that proves irresistable to many women. After all, who doesn't aim for elegance injected with a dose of quirky chic? For Fall, she played with tuxedo dressing, masculin/feminin blazers, ponchos, black and white cocktail options, as well as adorable prints designed by Florence Deygas that reflect Seward's cat Monsieur Joe's pawprints. The military-inspired jackets and dresses are ripe for day dressing; as good for wearing with jeans on Vielle du Temple as they are with collants and Chablis at le Bar 228. Very femme shirtdresses with the aforementioned paw print were equally chic, but it's in evening and cocktail categories where Seward shines brightest. On that note, there were splendid bustier tuxedos and raw silk frocks featuring panels of delicate eyelash lace. In a series called "The Mermaid and the Sailor," a stunning white and silver coat featured oversized, scale-like sequins. An entirely embroidered gold lurex rock was just as red carpet-ready.
Costume National
For Fall, Ennio Capasa explored the concept of "morphing," which translated to the use of raw materials mixing and mingling with lean, tailored shapes. Most memorably, laser-cut coats made of everything from felted wool to orgaza were a gently- deconstructed appeal to an urban warrior. Both high-concept and approachable, the beige and black styles will become this season's basic. A series of short day dresses were folded, origami-style, around the body; they nicely balanced the sheepskin biker jackets and lame leather pants. The standout pieces were a jacket and dress treated with a bark-like embroidery made of gold sequins wrapped in voile.

How to Select
How to Shop Extra Quiet Bath Exhaust Fans
Every time we purchase a new household appliance we often think about the dozens of variations and possibilities. Any device, which is used within a small family realm, should perfectly meet the requirements and demands of all family members. It is not a secret, that a high quality bathroom exhaust fan is an extremely useful home appliance that can easily refresh the air in your bathroom, saving homeowners more time away from their daily chores. Only one wise decision can make you forget about such problems as moisture, fog on the mirrors, stale air and unpleasant odors, mold and mildew accumulations, dangerous fungi and must.
Among all the evident benefits successfully combined in this small electric device, there is one more extremely important feature. Amidst various types of bathroom fans the most popular are the extra- or ultra-quiet models. This type could be especially useful for families with little children. While the new exhaust fan works, protecting the whole family from moisture and related diseases, the kids are sweetly sleeping. What a harmony!
In order to select a suitable extra-quiet bath exhaust fan it is necessarily to follow several tips. All the bath fans characterized by whisper silent workflow depend on two main features: CFM value and Sones value.
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute and measures the volumetric flow of a bathroom exhaust fan. In other words, this value shows the overall power of a bath fan. The CFM level shows the volume of pushed through air. The efficiency of a bath fan also depends of the CFM number and fan's general application. A 50 CFM bath fan will be quite enough for a standard bathroom size under 50 square feet. For each extra square feet it is recommended to add at least 1 CFM.
Sones are responsible for the general noise level. Mainly all the powerful bath fans emit a sufficient amount of noise. In this case it is necessary to look for the lowest sones value. 1 Sone noise level can be compared with a running refrigerator. That is why, looking for an extra-quiet model of a bathroom exhaust fan, a customer should choose those devices that are featured with a noise level below 1 Sone value. Just think which level of noise you can tolerate during 15 – 20 minutes. This time will be enough for air cleaning inside the bathroom.
Silent workflow is only one out of many other benefits provided by this type of household appliance. If you are interested in a clean bathroom, free from bacteria and convenient for daily usage, it's highly recommended that you install a bathroom exhaust fan. It will not only protect you from dangers connected with moisture and mildew accumulation, but also become a faithful ally in home economy and efficiency.

London Spring 2013: Mulberry, Thomas Tait
FirstView View Gallery
(LONDON) Mulberry
Mulberry's creative director Emma Hill has never been one to skimp on inspiration. In fact, she relishes the moment of reveal as much as her buzzy front row at Claridge's. If you received a LFW invite, accompanied by a crafty Winsor and Newton mini watercolor box and brush set, you know what we mean. This season, Hill drew references from the "craft of color and painting" along with vintage military uniforms and seventies silhouettes, awash in muted neutrals with flashes of sapphire, orange, and mint. Accordingly, menswear-inspired outerwear of the soldierly variety came in oversized bikers and peacoats, a blooming copper jacquard on-duty topper, and an army-like summer cape outfitted with butter soft Nappa leather. Meanwhile, floral-splattered, calf-skimming frocks with loose, pleated skirts and wide-leg trousers sitting high on the hip picked up the seventies theme. A new ankle boot donned the springtime treatment with intricate floral detailing and a bespoke jacquard finish. Also new: The oversized "Willow" tote constructed in classic leather with an Ostrich trim on the detachable envelope front clutch. A covetable token for Mulberry's front row gal pals including Alexa Chung, a raven-haired Lana Del Rey (carrying her Del Rey bag, of course), and Kate Moss.
Thomas Tait
Despite chillier temps in Paris, a crowd of showgoers gathered inside the graffitied skate park in the South Bank for Thomas Tait's rousing teenage mutant ninja turtles meets cosmic disco trip collection. The look centered on Tait's trademark: minimal, tailored silhouettes purged of fancy trappings and balanced with strategically placed sweeping volume. Add a little streetwear and a dose of sixties, space-age drame and you'll have a pretty good concept of the catwalk. Take the starchy white collared button-up tucked into precisely pleated shorts and combined with white, mid-calf moon boots. That was paired under a cobalt coat cocooned for that turtle-in-a-half-shell shape. Tait riffed on this sportif uniform in varying degrees throughout the show as seen in swishy black silk Bermudas teamed with a structured, black leather embossed vest. Or an acid yellow quilted v-neck sweater and breezy silk warm-up pants, cinched at the ankle, and topped off with a sharp, white collarless jacket with rounded shoulders. Additional highlights include a white moto with a black collar and a streamlined white lab coat lined in that same spunky shade of yellow.

Runway Reviews: Michael Kors Resort 2011
Giorgio Niro View Gallery
(NEW YORK) "It's all about banishing the word 'resort,'" instructed Michael Kors as he presented his, um, Resort 2011 collection to editors at his 42nd Street showroom yesterday afternoon. "If we could, we'd call it destination." Granted, Kors understands his customers so intimately that not only does he know their preferred means of wintering, he has probably even internalized their NetJets preferences. Happily, these women will find plenty of pieces to love at Kors' myriad boutiques, which number five at the collection level and too many to count otherwise.
The palette was mostly neutral shades of coffee, linen, cream, with plenty of ultra-washed, unlined snakeskin thrown in for good measure, while the silhouettes represented Kors' particular amalgamation of modernism and utility. And eco-minded types will be pleased to learn that Kors is using organic Italian cashmere, linen, Swiss lace, and cotton for the first time. "It took a lot of tries, and then even more tries," he laughed. "But we finally got there." And on that note, irreproachable cappuccino cardigans and matching tanks were juxtaposed with ultra-slim, java washed charmeuse trousers---"like dressing the arms on the legs"---and ultra-thin washed snakeskin minis. The snakeskin also appeared in slouchy, unlined boots, some of which came in suede and were decked out with an espadrille heel. Flat sandals are de rigeur, intended for w alking around Capri, Madison Avenue, Bhutan, or anywhere in between.
A destroyed silk duchess called "mudcloth" was nipped and tucked into easy day sheaths, which are accessorized with either an ultra-narrow wrap belt or a small, square leather bag. A narrow black trouser and tie-front silk blouse are Kors' idea of New Year's Eve-style black tie. An ombre cashmere dress, which transitioned from peach at the neckline to flame at the hem, was indeed like "sunset" in frock form. Overall, another strong collection full of luxe, wearable items from the American designer who does this lifestyle best.

I think if we go to right to work instead of closed shop, reform the DEEP to get permitting more…Read More realistic, cut all fees and taxes on business (there are a lot more than you think) and move as many state jobs to contractors as possible (including as much education as possible) we have a shot at bringing back some manufacturing (which creates a lot of solid, skilled, good paying jobs, as well as creates lots of small business opportunities -- everything from sandwich shops to job shops). We can't undo the foolishness that resulted in pension and healthcare benefits for former and current state emotes to be breaking us. But, we can stop falling for the let the rich corporations pay instead of us poor workers nonsense, which has resulted in the rich corporations going anywhere but here. But, the unions own the dems, and the dems own the legislature. Nothing will change. Dems don't lead. They don't make hard decisions. They play upon emotions. Despite their lofty claimed goals, they have become the root of evil. And, that's a mighty sad commentary from a determined independent. Dems, your entitlement programs have a proven record of creating dependency and keeping the poor poor. How do you sleep at night? Seriously, where are your ethics? Don't bring up republicans or the tea party. This is not a compare and contrast,; that's a tool of rationalization. The question is, programs like the great society destroyed black families. Head Start is actually holding children back (that one can only be a crisis of execution, but you didn't eliminate the leadership when you increased funding). Unions destroy cities. Nine of this is debatable. How do you sleep? How do you look yourselves in the mirror knowing that you harm people for personal political gain? I'm not asking the voters, they're good people with good intentions. I'm asking the filthy politicians? Don't you know right from wrong?

CT Minimum Wage Hike Passes on Party Lines
cheryl April 3, 2014 at 08:50 am
These are entry level positions. Usually the people applying for such positions are 1st time…Read More employees who do not have any qualifying attributes such as work ethics, experience, must be trained, have little or no knowledge on what the position is. I think its up to the "OWNER" OF EACH BUSINESS to determine that employees benefit to the company. Also, once that employee proves himself in that business a raise might be in order usually its about 3 months. I am a firm believer in merit not just paying someone who might not deserve it. Also again- the minimum wage isn't supposed to provide a 'LIVING WAGE" that is a Marxist Communist play on words. Who's to say what a living wage is? Is it $500, $1000 a week, and you might ask what does it do to a business who provides such a "living wage". Will they hire less, will people be fired, will they not provide perks such as benefits to compensate. Companies shouldn't be 'FORCED" by the gov to provide that. It should depend on the merit of the employee and the company's bottom line. Why are people so stupid to fall for the manipulation of the masses by these elites, is beyond me. War on Woman, "FREE" healthcare. All designed to use words - I n the old days we called it "propaganda" to manipulate, nudge people into a certain behavior. and this administration is the best at it. Food for thought.

Wal-Marts in North Dakota pay $10 an hour starting for cashiers and over $15 an hour in the booming…Read More NW corner. Why? Because of supply and demand. In the oil and gas part, $15 an hour is what is needed to secure the employees. Why? Because demand for labor is so high. What minimum wage supporters do not grasp is government cannot change someone's economic status. Low skilled workers will always be on the lowest end of the economic spectrum. Why? Minimum skills offered. You do not want to raise a family on $8 an hour, then do something that is worth more than $8. Individuals must take initiative and better themselves. They must add something of value to the marketplace. Almost anyone can be a cashier. Not everyone can be a surgeon. There is a reason the pay is quite different.

Her greedy lawyer(s) should have settled for 10% at the 4 mil amount. After all they only processed the paperwork for her and felt none of the pain or suffering, NONE. Bless her heart, I would not want to live that way either and her doctors should have thought bout that and take some of the blame here too. If there is no quality to life the docs should let you die with dignity instead of gouging the insurance money. Why is it we can kill a deer or other animal struck by a car but we are expected to watch our loved ones suffer until they finally die? WHY?? They call the police to "dispatch" a deer, raccoon, or other animal so they won't suffer but to watch our loved ones suffer is OK?

Mr. Bahre - The deduction for the Child Care credit actually ends when the child attains age 13.…Read More So I believe you are talking about the child tax credit. Yes, you are correct; you are no longer eligible for the credit when the child attains age 17. I understand your frustration. Our tax system is very complex and it is often difficult to understand the logic behind some of the rules. As a professional tax preparer, all I can do is explain the rules and adhere to them, and encourage clients to lobby for change. www.leonardcarusi.com
Paul Bahre March 21, 2014 at 10:08 am
How do you go about lobbying for change? You can call your congressman's office but they will give…Read More you pat answers and in the end the idiot who is my congressman has never met a tax he didn't like. Tax code is power and the idiots in Washington are all drunk with power. If you were to go to a straight flat tax that would never happen because those power drunk idiots in Washington would never let that happen. The politicians have stuffed the ballot box with entitlements and that is why we can't get decent elected leaders. We now have too many people on the dole. Johnson's and Obama's "wars on poverty" are frauds to keep people poor and dependent on the federal government. By keeping blacks dependent on them, the Democrats "own" blacks, and keep them doing their bidding, their work. This, my friends, is the modern face of slavery, slavery being something the Democrat party has always owned and has no intention of giving up.
Brian Duffy March 21, 2014 at 10:46 pm
Paul, the child care credit has always had the 17 year old cutoff since Clinton put the credit in…Read More during the 90s. It has nothing to do with Obamacare. It started around $400 i believe, and Bush and Obama both continued it and gradually raised it to $1000. You have had the credit available to you for your kid's entire life. In fact, it was scheduled to expire in 2010 and Obama and Congress made it permanent (for now). So, although your kid has "aged out" as of 2013, you can at least thank Obama for saving you a couple of grand for 2011 and 2012. (Though I doubt you will!)

Can An 'Aid in Dying' Law Pass in Connecticut?
Carma March 21, 2014 at 10:52 am
Interested Party...I don't think that you understand my point(s). I am well aware that health care…Read More is a business...and I feel that doctors and health care providers deserve to make a good living (that is a debte for another day as many seem to feel that health care should be provided to all free of charge)...but I think that it still can/should be provided in a personal and caring manner. As I mentioned, I can already see, from my own experience, that this is slipping away...and I feel that it will only get worse once the government steps deeper into it. I don't know how to turn back the clock, or come up with a hybrid system that can provide the best of both worlds, but I don't like what is happening and what I see coming in the future. I find it frightening and very, very sad. I suppose that we will have to agree to disagree on this. Good health and happiness to you and yours.
Carma March 21, 2014 at 11:04 am
PS..I never, never made the leap into believing/saying that the government has a covert plan to kill…Read More people off (I did state that unscrupulous family or insurance providers could try to scam the system)...I just believe that when the government steps in to make decisions for the masses the individualized, caring, etc. offerings disappear (by necessity, I suppose as there are just too many people to "satisfy" individually). People can home school if they don't like public education and can't afford private school...not so easy (not saying home schooling is easy) to be your own doctor, especially when a severe or catastrophic illness occurs. It is possible to be your own medical advocate, and educate yourself and participate in your health care decisions...but that still doesn't make one a doctor, and it could, IMO, become difficult to self-advocate in a world where the government regulates too much of the system. Medicine/healthcare is a very unique and important "service" and I just hate to see it become cookie cutter and taken out of the hands of the patients and the doctors by red tape and regulations.
Interested Party March 21, 2014 at 06:29 pm
Carm, you are right, medicine is very different now, than it was in the past, and I am afraid that…Read More it will never again be as it was, in the days gone by, when doctors had time to know their patients. I worked in a physician's office in the early 60s. He practiced alone, a general practioner. I was his only office staff. Life was simpler then. He even made house calls. Those days are gone, never to return. It is too bad that is the way it goes, but there are positives to the changes in healthcare, that we do benefit from. Technology is vastly improved, medications and treatment protocols are all improved. Life expectancy is longer, and many diseases can be cured. So, it's not all bad.

Daniella- some people were forced to take jobs farther away from home when the economy crashed.…Read More Some of those people now have upside down mortgages and cannot move closer to work. Many of the commuters make far less than $200,000 a year- never mind 1.5 Million. Many people depend on the train being on time, according to the schedule the RR made, so they can continue to work and make ends meet. There is no reason the RR can't be safe and on time most of the time. It is apparent M.N. Has been mismanaging their funds for years. Public transportation should be very affordable. I see a re-structure in the near future. Hopefully all improves soon.

Putting money aside for retirement while you are still working is important, but it's only part of the solution. Equally important is to have a plan on how to manage your retirement nest egg so it will continue to generate income throughout your life. The pros at Prudential Retirement have some suggestions on how to help make that happen.
Develop a plan on how to use savings
Sri Reddy, head of Institutional Income for Prudential Retirement, advises people nearing retirement to begin shifting their focus from accumulating savings to considering how best to distribute those savings during retirement.
"A critical first step in meeting the new retirement challenge is to develop a plan on how to use your savings to generate income throughout your life," says Reddy. "Take the same approach as you did with saving – plan ahead."
One avenue to explore is to check with your employer to see if there is a guaranteed income option available in your company's retirement plan. Two out of three participants in the Prudential Retirement survey said investing in this type of option made them more confident about their retirement security.
Continuing to work part-time may be a necessity in order to generate needed income for your retirement budget. According to the Prudential survey, nearly three in four middle-class Americans believe they will have to find some work in retirement.
Check out possibilities now for part-time employment. Don't wait until after retirement.
Cut costs before retirement
Once you have a plan in place to generate lifetime income, look at how to cut expenses after you retire. One of the best ways to stretch your retirement savings may be to reduce housing costs, which are a major expense for most Americans.
If your kids are out of the house and your mortgage is paid off, think about downsizing now before you retire. Add any profits from the sale of your house to your retirement savings and move to a less costly situation – such as a smaller house or a condo.
In addition, do an assessment of all the ways you spend money and economize wherever you can. Careful planning now, while you are still working, will help you to achieve your goal of a secure and fulfilling retirement and making it last a lifetime.
Prudential has done extensive research about how people can create better outcomes by modifying their behaviors. For a copy of this white paper, "Better Participant Outcomes Through In-Plan Guaranteed Retirement Income," visit www.prudential.com.

The cuffs
Each cuff features a button at the edge and one further up to provide several style possibilities, from fully closed to a more relaxed, rolled up look. GANT's G Diamond embroidered logo adds a subtle finish.
The print
Featuring GANT's G Diamond logo and a fabric description, the 'stamped' placement print positioned on the bottom left corner adds to the shirt's laid-back feel.
