Borja Valero has admitted that he has given up hope of playing in the World Cup for Spain.
The midfielder has been one of the standout performers for Fiorentina this season, but having made just one appearance for the Roja, the 28-year-old has conceded that he won't be in Brazil next summer.
"I honestly don't think about it anymore," he told AS. "The squad has now come together and is essentially closed.
"I always play to give my best, but I think for me, it is almost impossible to play at the World Cup."
The former Villarreal man then went on to comment on his form so far for Vincenzo Montella's men.
"When I arrived there was a bit of scepticism towards me – there hasn't been a great tradition of Spanish players in Italy.
"But luckily I found Montella who plays the game in a Spanish sort of way.
"I've settled here very quickly."

The Ongoing Administration-Wide Response to the Deepwater BP Oil Spill
White House Blog.* For a full timeline of the Administration-wide response, visit the
Drilling of the Relief Well Continues
Development Driller III continues to condition the first relief well in preparation for laying the casing line, a necessary step before beginning the static diagnostics test—pumping mud and cement in through the top of the well—which will provide more information about well integrity and ultimately improves the probability of success for the relief well. The Q4000 has completed pressure testing and is fully operational and ready for the static diagnostics test. Development Driller II will hold operations and await results of the DDIII relief well.
Development Driller III has drilled the first relief well to a depth of 17,864 feet below the Gulf surface and Development Driller II has drilled the second relief well—a redundancy measure taken at the direction of the administration—to a depth of 15,963 feet below the surface.
Seismic and Acoustic Testing Continue to Ensure the Integrity of the Wellhead
In order to ensure the integrity of the wellhead and search for and respond to anomalies, the research vessel Geco Topaz and the NOAA Ship Henry R. Bigelow are conducting seismic and acoustic tests around the wellhead—part of continued efforts to use the best scientific tools available in response to the BP oil spill. The pressure in the wellhead continues to rise, demonstrating that it has integrity, and is currently at 6,970 pounds per square inch.
FWS Personnel Continue Wildlife Rescue and Recovery Missions Across the Region

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has inked a security pact with Iran, setting the stage for long-term security, economic and political cooperation between Kabul and Tehran.
The Afghan-Iran deal represents a "long-term friendship and cooperation pact" with Iran that "will be for long-term political, security, economic and cultural cooperation, regional peace," according to Karzai's spokesman Aimal Faizi.
The postwar plan, known inside the Pentagon as the bilateral security agreement (BSA), was "overwhelmingly approved" by an assembly of the Afghanistan's most powerful tribal leaders, called the Loya Jirga, earlier this month, according to Defense Secretary Chuck HagelCharles (Chuck) Timothy HagelIntel chief: Federal debt poses 'dire threat' to national security Hagel: Trump is 'an embarrassment' Tax cut complete, hawks push for military increase MORE.
But a slew of last-minute demands by Karzai, including the release of all Afghan prisoners at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay and banning members of a U.S. postwar force from entering Afghan homes, has Obama considering a complete withdrawal from Afghanistan next year.
Iran has been a vocal opponent of a U.S-Afghan postwar pact since negotiations between Kabul and Washington began earlier this year.
On Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani again blasted Afghanistan's pending deal with the United States.
"We are concerned about tension arising out of the presence of foreign forces in the region, believing that all foreign forces should get out of the region and the task of guaranteeing Afghan security should be entrusted to the country's people," Rouhani told Iranian state-run news agency IRNA.

Polish Retail-Sales Growth Unexpectedly Slowed in June
Polish retail-sales growth unexpectedly decelerated in June on limited hiring and pay concerns, suggesting the slowdown of the European Union's largest eastern economy has worsened.
Sales advanced 6.4 percent from a year earlier, compared with a 7.7 percent increase in May, the Warsaw-based Central Statistical Office said today. The median estimate of 27 economists surveyed by Bloomberg was 9 percent. Sales rose 0.2 percent from the previous month.
"The current labor-market situation, with a moderate increase in wages and a gradual decrease in employment in the corporate sector, doesn't support higher consumer spending," Maciej Reluga, chief economist at Bank Zachodni WBK in Warsaw, said in a note after the report. "Consequently, a further weakening of consumption demand may be expected in the following quarters."
With the debt crisis intensifying in the euro area, where Poland sells more than half its exports, Polish employers are losing confidence in their prospects and limiting hiring. Job growth at companies with more than nine workers rose 0.1 percent from a year earlier in June, the least since April two years ago. Industrial-output growth also missed the forecast, rising 1.2 percent, compared with May's 4.6 percent increase.
Zloty, Bonds
Three-month forward rate agreements, used to speculate on official borrowing costs, dropped 10 basis points in the last two days to 32 points, heading for a new low after falling to 26 points last week, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The zloty traded at 4.1817 per euro at 11:40 a.m. in Warsaw, little changed from yesterday. The government's two-year yield fell 6 basis points to 4.27 percent.
"The market interpreted the retail-sales figures as an argument in favor of interest-rate cuts." Reluga said. "June's data from the real economy should moderate the Monetary Policy Council's stance and trigger its transition to a neutral bias."
The Narodowy Bank Polski is keeping interest rates at the highest level since 2009 for a second year, diverging from central banks worldwide as they undertake the broadest reduction in borrowing costs in three years to avert a global slump stemming from Europe's sovereign-debt crisis. Poland raised its main rate by a quarter-point to 4.75 percent in May.
Jobs, Consumption
A weakening job market may sap household confidence and income already hit by inflation of about 4 percent for a second year. Individual consumption, which accounts for about 60 percent of the economy, will slow to 2.9 percent this year and to 2.1 percent in 2013, the central bank said July 9.
The bank forecasts the economy will expand 2.9 percent this year, compared with 4.3 percent last year. Still, growth is slowing faster than the bank's latest projections and will "certainly" be less than its forecast, policy maker Andrzej Bratkowski told the central bank-operated obserwatorfinansowy.pl website last week.
"I see no reason not to submit a cut motion in September," Bratkowski said in a July 24 interview with the Rzeczpospolita newspaper. Elzbieta Chojna-Duch, another MPC member, told reporters yesterday she would support a quarter- point rate cut.

it was ok not worth waiting around for. got there and waiting around for ever and finally decided to eat but not worth the wait
We decided to have breakfast at Jack's Seafood Shack which is attached to the Crowne Plaza hotel where we were staying for a few days. The waitress was a little slow and the food just ok, the amount of the check is a bit high....More
We stopped here for lunch and found the menu very accommodating and varied. The service was good as well as the food. The prices were very reasonable.
Outdoors dining is under small umbrellas with plastic chairs and not too clean flooring. Food was good but service was only ok.
I understand that the Crowne Plaza La Concha was soon to be renovated so that probably explains the glowing reviews that I read here but......what I learned from this breakfast experience is to always check and see what the food looks like before you decide...More
The well stocked breakfast buffet at Jack's is topped off with a delightful omelette bar. The colorful omelet chef was the star of the show, though!
The bar staff made our evening nightcap worth the trip! The La Concha is undergoing renovations so you can only have the breakfast buffet. They do have menus available from local restaurants for delivery and you do get to try some very good local food...More
I stop here every time I'm in K.W. About 6-8 times a year. I never miss lunch and always order the lobster roll. Excellent value. RIght about mid Duval Street. My friend likes their breakfast omelets.
We stopped in for lunch while shopping on Duval Street The food was just okay, the service was adequate, however the restaurant or the Crowne Plaza hotel which owns the restaurant, appears to be engaging in questionable practices with regard to billing. My credit card...More
I know it is on Duval Street and I know it is housed in the same building with the La Concha but there are many better places for a good breakfast at a reasonable price. We (2 adults 2 children) had very basic breakfasts (eggs,...More

AbstractMassively-parallel classical equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to investigate the computational performance of the Simple Point Charge (SPC) model and single-particle model of Molinero et al. applied to simulation of methane hydrates, using systems consisting of several million particles, on a variety of Blue Gene/L, P and Q platforms. It was found that the newer Blue Gene/Q platform offers attractive performance for massively-parallel simulation. View Full-Text

Live-Fire Security Testing with Armitage and Metasploit
Armitage's Hail Mary feature uses your scan results to launch exploits automatically. Go to Attacks→Hail Mary→by port. Armitage finds, filters and sorts exploits into an optimal order. Armitage then launches these exploits against each of your hosts.
At the end of this attack, Armitage lists the compromised hosts and the successful exploits. This attack is noisy, and some exploits may crash a service before the correct exploit reaches it. However, this attack requires little skill to run. Try this attack from outside your network to see what your intrusion-detection system finds.
Use Attacks→Find Attacks→by port to get exploit recommendations. Armitage creates an Attack menu (Figure 3) for each host with relevant exploits. These are the same exploits launched by the Hail Mary attack. Right-click a host in the targets area to reach this menu.
Armitage organizes each Attack menu by exploitable service. On my network, I have a Windows XP SP2 host. To exploit it, I right-click the host and navigate to Attacks→smb→ms08_067_netapi. This opens the launch dialog shown in Figure 4.
The exploit launch dialog has a table of preconfigured options. Double-click any value to edit it. Click Show advanced options to see other options. Most of the time you don't need to change these. Click Launch to run the exploit against your target. If the attack succeeds, your target turns red with lightning bolts around it (Figure 5).
Exploiting services is a risky business. You're introducing input into your applications that executes flawed code paths. When possible, you should test nonproduction systems. If you must test against a production host, it helps to understand Metasploit's exploit rating system.
Metasploit rates each exploit as poor, normal, good, great or excellent. Excellent rated exploits use simple command injection flaws. These are the safest and most reliable exploits. Exploits rated great are reliable memory corruption exploits. These may crash your system, but it's extremely unlikely. Exploits rated good and below have more risk associated with them, and they're less reliable. Armitage's Hail Mary and exploit recommendation features use exploits rated at the great and excellent levels only. You can change this through Armitage→Preferences.
Metasploit rates some exploits as manual. These exploits need extra information, such as a user name and password, to launch. Manual exploits are not available using the automatic and semi-automatic approaches.
Manual exploitation requires matching your devices and services to Metasploit modules. This step requires some preparation. Create an inventory of your network devices and the software running on each host.
Type each software package and device into the search field below the module browser. Press Enter to execute the search. If you know a Linux host is running ProFTPD 1.3.3, type ProFTPD into the search field. Armitage displays all matching modules in the module browser.
Highlight hosts in the targets area to preconfigure the module's RHOSTS option. Double-click a module to open its launcher. Click Launch to run the attack.
You sometimes will see auxiliary modules in your search results. Figure 6 shows a search for Cisco. This search reveals auxiliary modules to scan for known authorization bypass vulnerabilities and access configuration files using SNMP. Pay attention to the auxiliary modules. They offer a lot of attack value.
The manual exploitation approach is the best way to learn what capabilities Metasploit has against your network. This approach requires more time and skill to get access, but it's also more thorough.

Story highlights
- Party: Pervez Musharraf is waiting for court cases against him to be resolved in Pakistan
- Musharraf has lived in exile since 2008
- The Pakistani prime minister says Musharraf will be arrested upon his return to Pakistan
- The charges are in connection with Bhutto's assassination
Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has postponed his return from exile until the political situation in Pakistan and the court cases against him are resolved, a senior leader in his party said Friday.
Another party source who is close to Musharraf but did not want to be named said Musharraf will not return in the next year and is stepping out of politics.
Musharraf has lived in exile in London and Dubai since resigning in 2008. He has vowed to return to his home country and run in upcoming elections, though his party recently said he was reassessing those plans after Pakistan's upper house of parliament demanded his arrest.
"Musharraf didn't want to postpone it; the party forced him to do this," said Muhammad Ali Saif, a senior leader in Musharraf's All Pakistan Muslim League. He said the party made the decision after two days of meetings in Dubai.
The party will decide Musharraf's plan for return once the political situation has been resolved, he added.
The unnamed party source said there has also been talk within the All Pakistan Muslim League about whether to disband because Musharraf's supporters are "disheartened and frustrated."
Pakistan's upper house of Parliament passed a nonbinding resolution this week demanding Musharraf be arrested and tried for treason for unconstitutional acts during his regime, Sen. Muhammad Ibrahim Khan said.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Friday that Musharraf will "certainly" be arrested if he returns to Pakistan.
The charges against Musharraf are in connection with the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. A U.N. report in 2010 accused Musharraf's government of failing to protect Bhutto, who had returned to Pakistan from exile to run for office.
Musharraf has denied the allegations, arguing that Bhutto had police protection and took unnecessary risks.
Pakistan is facing its most serious political crisis in years, with rapidly escalating conflicts between the civilian government, the military and the judiciary against the backdrop of a faltering economy, widespread poverty, corruption and the bloody war with Islamist militant groups.

NASCAR Needs A Road Course In The Chase—But Which One?July 24, 2008
NASCAR's chase has proved to provide a different look to the end of the season.
The bad about it, though, is not choosing an overall great driver. How can you say you the best if you did not race at a road course? This is a problem that needs to be looked at.
The track choice is crucial. You need an exciting track one that will prove to be a very passing-active track. A problem we have here is the season the chase is in so you need to pick a warm setting and will not have any weather problem.
The track I would choose is Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This track will provide amazing racing—you come down to turn one, and it replicates the turn at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
You then get to the horsepower part of the track. This part will prove whose cars are fast. You'll pass turn six and then uphill to the most recognizable part of the track. It is at the top of the hill and is known as the corkscrew—it's is a instant left and an instant right. The rest of the track is a series of tight turns.
This track will provide the most excitement and be the best racing. I think that it should be in the chase and replace the Dickies 500, which is held at Texas. If not that, the track should be put in the regular schedule.
With a road course in the chase, we will be able to say we truly have the best driver overall.

In the end, beat is beat. Flowers didn't get beat appreciably more often than Carr, but folks were harder on Carr because Flowers didn't look as bad in getting burned.
Arenas is the same way. He often looks like he's where he's supposed to be, but he's just a hair too slow or too small so the ball gets caught. He looks like he had 'decent coverage', but in the end his physical limitations are just too much for him to be very good (because he's nowhere near as skilled as Flowers).
It's why he doesn't look awful on tape, but PFF just destroys him and his catch rates are so poor.
Close doesn't count in this league. Beat is beat and Arenas gets beat as often as anyone in the game. If you can improve on him as your
you should, let alone as your starter. He's an easily replaceable player, IMO.

Place the oil in a large skillet and heat over high heat. Add the onion and saute until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the tomatoes, salt and chile flakes and cook over medium-high heat, uncovered, 6 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar, sugar, raisins and pine nuts and cook, stirring, another 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and add the fish in a single layer, if possible. Baste with the sauce and cook, covered, for 7 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the liquid is greatly reduced and the fish is in a thick, flavorful sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Based on PHP/MySQL, b2evolution can be run on most servers, but many hosting companies provide one-click installation. For b2evolution hosting, we recommend SiteGround.
What is b2evolution Hosting?
Blogging, Blogger, Blogspot, the list of web log ("blog") platforms goes on and on. You've no doubt heard buzz about WordPress if you're not using it already. In many ways, it's become a standard favorite of many website publishers. But it's not the only game in town. If you look around a bit, you'll find plenty of content management system (CMS) alternatives to WordPress, and b2evolution is one of them.
The good news is you can try both and you would find at the end of the day that b2evolution is a worthwhile platform depending on what your needs are. So if you're a beginning blogger, you'll find plenty of built-in tools and features that will delight you right out of the box.
If you are an advanced web publisher, b2evolution is also a great choice because it is much closer to CMS functionality and features. You can easily run multiple blogs, newsfeeds, and photo streams with a world of features still left in the tank. B2evolution is free to run on your own web site and domain.
It features include extended & multipaged posts, draft mode, advanced browsing, image management, RSS feeds, Atom feeds, skins/themes, and plugins. The b2evolution platform runs on the nearly universal combination platform of PHP and MySQL, meaning it will run on a standalone server or nearly any web hosting service of your choice.
b2evolution: Out of the Box Goodness
While WordPress is pretty agile and offers a lot of functionality through the too-numerous-to-count plugins available for it, b2evolution comes already integrated with much of that functionality right out of the box. In fact, the company that makes it calls b2evolution a CCMS, which stands for Content and Community Management Software.
If offers the CMS features you'd expect, such as the ability to manage multiple blogs, accommodate multiple site pages, host photo albums, and more. But it also adds community management features such as user profiles, a directory, forums, and even private messaging. b2evolution also generates its web pages dynamically from its configuration on the MySQL database, which means the pages are dynamic but not rebuilt every time it is rendered.
Not only that, b2evolution includes a whole list of marketing features such as goal tracking, email subscriptions, and server side analytics so you can gather all the data you need to manage your site and keep your users happy.
While b2evolution is used by a comparatively small group of bloggers, the b2evolution community is quite active. The result of this zeal is a constant drive to improve the versatility of the CMS and the user experience at all times. For many organizations, b2evolution is the best choice for their needs where professionals and advanced bloggers need a polished platform to run on. That is especially true as b2evolution is somewhat of a hybrid from a full on CMS and a blogging platform. With its polished and updated documentation, further customizing the platform to an organization's needs is a relatively simple task that can be accomplished by organizations of any size.
The reasons why you are looking for a CMS or a blog could be anything, but you know that regardless of the size of your business, blogging for business is an critical component of any online marketing strategy. It is well known that blogs help drive traffic and a great platform is the key to getting this strategy going. It brings people to the site and helps turn them into customers. It helps your link count, it helps Search Engine Optimization (SEO), it helps you utilize your keyword strategy, and it helps you raise your profile as an industry and thought leader. With helpful and thoughtful articles, your name and company name can becomes a trusted resource and trusted brand. The goal is to connect with your audience with a clear message, helping the customer on their journey.
Hosting b2evolution
b2evolution is open-source software, and is available for free. The only requirement is to find a host that either offers it on its list of one-click installation software (as WordPress most often is), or that will accommodate it should you choose to install it yourself.
If you're using either virtual private server hosting or dedicated server hosting, this shouldn't be a problem. But if you're on a shared hosting plan, you may need to contact your hosting provider to make sure you can install b2evolution.
b2evolution Hosting Frequently Asked Questions
What is b2evolution?
b2evolution is a 'CCMS' - a Content and Community Management System. When originally developed, b2evolution was most commonly used as a multi-user and multi-blog platform, commonly used for online publishing. In its current stable releases, b2evolution has integrated online community solutions (like forum and social networking functions) and online marketing tools to make itself a one-stop shop website platform. Unlike many other platforms that require you to build these features into your site through individual applications, b2evolution already has all of these capabilities included in one system.
What are some good reasons to use b2evolution?
b2evolution's premier feature is its multiple blogging platform. With one installation, a webmaster can run multiple blogs, domains, users and authors at the same time. As a way to protect its users, b2evolution has active and passive spam management solutions, including a community-driven shared blacklist managed by users. Like many other popular blogging platforms, b2evolution also has custom skins/themes, widgets, plugins, and languages. The platform download also comes with an automated installer.
Are there any reasons not to use b2evolution?
Like many other platforms originally created as a "blogging software", the current stable release of b2evolution seems very capable of being a reliable, feature-rich CMS for websites with any purpose. If you are looking to run a simple blog or small business website with little need for the additional features that come with b2evolution (forum capability, social networking, multi-blogging, etc.) it could potentially be too robust for your needs.
What are the alternatives to b2evolution?
The most commonly compared alternative to b2evolution is Wordpress. The main reason these two are compared to each other is because they are open source blogging platforms that are "forks" of a precursor blogging platform called b2/cafelog. Many times, content management systems like Drupal and Joomla are also compared to b2evolution as alternative options.
What are the requirements for b2evolution web hosting?
In order to run b2evolution as your content management system, your hosting provider will need to provide you with a LAMP platform. For most modern web site hosting providers, this will not be an issue. If you are installing b2evolution on a dedicated server, Debian is the preferred Linux installation - RedHat and CentOS will work also, however. To complete your LAMP stack, you should also deploy Apache 2.0, MySQL 5.0+, and PHP 5.2+. Review these system requirements with your hosting provider if you are unsure if your server is equipped to meet these requirements.
Are there any additional specific hosting recommendations?
As long as your LAMP server has the software requirements listed in the above section, you should be fine to run b2evolution as your content management system. Windows servers are not an officially supported platform outside of development. As an alternative to Apache, you can run Lighttpd or NginX, but they are not officially supported. There are also a variety of customizations you may need made to PHP in order to get the most out of your b2evolution platform, so check with your hosting provider before you start building your site to make sure everything is optimized.
Do I need to be concerned about installation?
b2evolution is a fairly straightforward platform to install with most hosting providers. In fact, many mainstream website hosting providers offer b2evolution as a 1-click install for new customers when they are setting up a new hosting package and a new website domain. If the hosting provider you select does not offer b2evolution in its 1-click install options, download the latest stable release from b2evolution's website and install it via FTP client.
Is there any reason not to use a one-click installation wizard?
No. If you have the option of a 1-click installation for b2evolution, you will save yourself a lot of time installing this as your platform. The risk of human error is also greatly reduced. Of course, if you are trying to install b2evolution with some advanced configurations or you have multiple installations, you may need to install it yourself. If you are unsure if 1-click installation is right for you, check with the support team at your hosting provider.
What does self-hosted mean? I don't have to run a server myself, do I?
Self-hosted websites do not require YOU to personally own a server and manage it to host your site. Instead, self-hosted simply means that hosting is not provided directly by the development team that created b2evolution. In order to use a self-hosted content management system like b2evolution, you will need to contract a hosting provider before building your website.
Can I host a b2evolution blog on a shared hosting plan?
Yes. Shared hosting plans will work with b2evolution. Make sure your shared hosting is built on a Linux platform and you should be ready to go. Depending on the customizations and the volume of blogs you may host on your b2evolution platform, you may want to consider a dedicated hosting solution. However, that is not required in order to host a b2evolution installation.
Do I have to know how to program to use b2evolution?
The answer to this question depends on your answer to the question "how much do you want to customize your b2evolution website?" The more you customize your site with widgets, plugins, and theme changes, the more programming knowledge you will need to have. The reason you will need to know how to program is because many widgets and themes do not perfectly integrate with each other. To be fair to b2evolution, this is the case with any open source, self-hosted content management system - not just b2evolution.
How does b2evolution compare to Joomla as a CMS?
If you have any issues with programming, b2evolution will be a better platform for you to use when compared to Joomla. There may be a larger community of users who work with Joomla, but even experienced developers have issues with Joomla. Our suggestion for most aspiring website owners who lack expertise in development would be to avoid Joomla and use b2evolution.
How does b2evolution compare to Wordpress as a CMS?
b2evolution and WordPress were originally built upon the same framework, a blogging platform called b2/cafelog. As the two platforms have evolved, WordPress has become more focused on third-party app development to extend its capabilities, while b2evolution is touted as being built on a stronger framework. If you are a small business or blogger that does not need a fully-featured website platform - then Wordpress should be able to work as a platform for you. However, businesses looking for a professional-grade, open source content management platform may find b2evolution to be a better solution for their needs.
Do I need managed hosting in order to use b2evolution as my CMS?
The answer to this question depends on your answer to the question "how much responsibility are you willing to accept for the maintenance of your website?" The more complex your site becomes with widgets, plugins, multiple blogs and theme changes, the greater your need will be for professionally managed website hosting. Shared hosting often comes with some managed services included. If you have a dedicated hosting solution, however, managed services are likely required as part of your agreement. To be fair to b2evolution, this is the case with any self-hosted content management system - not just b2evolution.
How does b2evolution compare to Drupal as a CMS?
Compared to Drupal, b2evolution is more friendly to website managers who are using a website to edit content and create multiple blogs. Drupal is a more complex platform and probably better to use if you are a developer who really wants to customize a website. If your primary purpose is using a website as a multi-blogging, community portal, b2evolution may be the best fit for you.

Truancy Definition, Facts and Laws
What is Truancy?
The definition of truancy is usually established by school district policy and may vary across districts. Definitions for an excused absence, an unexcused absence, or a truancy can vary by state and even school districts.
Any unexcused absence from school is considered a truancy, but states enact their own school attendance laws. State law determines 1) the age at which a child is required to begin attending school, 2) the age at which a child may legally drop out of school, and 3), the number of unexcused absences at which a student is considered legally truant.
Truancy is a status offense – an act that is a crime due to the young age of the actor, but would not be illegal for someone older. The other most common status offenses are running away from home, alcohol use, curfew violations, and ungovernability.
Truancy: An Overview of the Problem
Generally, absentee rates are highest in public schools in the inner-city where larger numbers of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches source: (Heaviside et al., 1998). (Higher truancy rates generally correlate with poverty; higher rates of free and reduced-price lunches are typically used as evidence of poverty.)
National Truancy Statistics:
Truancy and ungovernability case rates peaked at age 15 and runaway case rates peaked at age 16. In contrast, status liquor law violation case rates increased continuously with age: from 1.8 at age 15 to 6.3 at age 17.
While there is not an abundance of national truancy data, some metropolitan areas report thousands of unexcused absences each day.
(source: DeKalb, Jay, "Student Truancy," ERIC Digest 125, April 1999.)
Data from Wisconsin show that during the 1998-99 school year, 15,600 students or 1.6% of enrolled students were truant per day. Truancy accounted for about 1/3 of total
absences that year. Truancy rates in the 10 largest urban school districts were twice as high as the state average.
Legislative Audit Committee of the State of Wisconsin, "A Best Practices Review: Truancy Reduction Efforts," August 2000.
Students with behavioral problems are often assigned to a counselor, but school counselors have large caseloads. Public high schools employed one counselor for every 284 students in 2002. Large schools (1,200+ students) employed one counselor for every 335 students. Counselors in schools with over 50% minority enrollment were responsible for 22% more students than their colleagues in low minority enrollment schools – 313 compared to 256 students.
National Center for Education Statistics, Fast Response Survey System, "Table 12: Number of guidance staff and counselors, and the number of students per guidance staff and per counselor assigned to public high school students, by selected school,"
http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/frss/publications/2003015/images/tab12.gif, October 1, 2004.
Boys are only slightly more likely to be sent to court for truancy than girls.
According to juvenile court statistics collected by the National Center for Juvenile Justice, 54% of all petitioned truancy cases between 1990 and 1999 were for males, and 46% were for females. [source: Puzzanchera, C., et. al., Juvenile Court Statistics 1999, National Center for Juvenile Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, July 2003
Consequences of Truancy
• Dropping out of school. Students who are chronically truant typically fall behind in grade level and drop out of school.
• Delinquency. Students who are chronically truant are also at-risk for other behaviors, such as alcohol and drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, and delinquency.
• Negative effect upon other students. Students who are chronically truant require extra time from teachers; teachers have less time to spend with the regularly-attending students in the classroom when they must create make-up work for truants.
Causes of Truancy
What influences truancy? In early research, depending upon the perspective of the researcher, truancy was said to be caused by the student, the student's family, or the school. More recently, it is understood that a combination of all three factors usually affect truancy:
Characteristics of the Student:
• low grades in reading and mathematics
• neurological factors, such as dyslexia
• inability to make friends with mainstream students or teachers
• negative attitudes toward school or teachers
Characteristics of the Student's Family:
• parent(s) who do not value education
• parent(s) who did not complete school, were truant themselves
• poor parenting skills
• low socio-economic status
• physical or mental health problems of parents
• family history of delinquency
• single parent families
• many children in the family
Characteristics of the School:
• weak or no monitoring of daily attendance
• inconsistent attendance policies
• lack of parent involvement in the school
• lack of personalized attention to students
• lack of teacher expectations for high student achievement
Results of high school failure
No one really knows what the drop out rate for truants is; most school districts do not collect the data. Data from the 2000 census show that high school dropouts had only a 52% employment rate in 1999, compared to 71% for high school graduates, and 83% for college graduates. Of those who worked full-time year-round in 1999, high school drop outs earned only 65% of the median earnings.
For every race and gender group, high school dropouts claim more in government-funded social services expenditures than high school graduates. For men in particular,
dropouts incur more in criminal justice costs. The average dropout costs more than $200,000 in current dollars over the course of his or her lifetime.
Vernez, Georges, Richard A. Krop, and C. Peter Rydell, Closing the Education Gap: Benefits and Costs, RAND MR-1036-EDU, 1999.
As of 1997, 41% of prison inmates, and 31% percent of probationers 18 years and older had not graduated from high school or earned a GED, compared with 18% of the general population. Harlow, C. W., "Education and Correctional Populations," Bureau of Justice Statistics Special Report, January 2003, NCJ 195670.
School attendance laws
Compulsory education laws are determined by state legislation. States typically require school attendance from the ages of six to 16, but variations in laws meanthat depending on a child's state of residence, (s)he is required to attend as few as nine or as many as thirteen years of school. Only 16 states require attendance until the age typical of high school graduation.
In most states, young people are entitled to receive public education until the age of 21, yet anecdotal evidence suggests that failing students who are expected tolower schools' standardized test scores are often encouraged to withdraw. State laws also vary regarding the definition of truancy.
South Carolina attendance law is reproduced in an appendix. The No Child Left Behind Act requires schools and districts to report attendance rates for the first time, yet differences in state definitions mean that no aggregated national data on truancy will be available even under the new regulations.

A problem with a heater for an auxiliary power unit forced NASA to scrub its first attempt to launch space shuttle Endeavour on its final voyage into space today.
Due to time needed to troubleshoot the problem, NASA estimates the next launch attempt will now not come until at least 1:33 p.m. Monday.
"It's unfortunate for Mark Kelly and his crew," said shuttle launch director Mike Leinbach. "But today the orbiter is not ready to fly, and we will not fly until we're ready. It's the nature of our business."
The auxiliary power units are part of the shuttle's hydraulic system, and are especially important during the return flight to Earth. Redundant electrical heater systems and insulation thermally control the system above 45 degrees to prevent fuel from freezing and to maintain required lube oil viscosity.
One of the two heaters to auxiliary power unit no. 1 (of three) failed during the launch countdown and could not be restarted. Engineers speculate it might be a problem with an electrical system that routes power to the heater, but they won't know until they actually go into the orbiter to check it out.
NASA had attempted to troubleshoot the problem a few hours before this afternoon's launch time, but could not become comfortable with any work-around solutions. They were unwilling to fly without a back-up heater in place.
During the next day technicians need to gain access into the aft compartment of Endeavour to diagnose the problem, and this cannot be done while the shuttle is fueled. The shuttle's external tanks were filled earlier this morning and they must now be drained.
The minimum 72-hour delay will come as a huge disappointment to the estimated 750,000 people who crowded the east coast of Florida to watch the launch this afternoon, including President Obama and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Endeavour will remain on the pad this afternoon.
Scrubs are nothing new with regard to shuttle launches. Since the program began in 1981 only about 40 percent of shuttles have launched on the first attempt, and 30 percent on the second attempt.
The most common reason for a shuttle delay has been a technical issue, such as the problem today with the APU heaters, which scrubbed about 55 percent of launches. Weather accounted for another 30 percent of scrubs.
The present launch window extends through May 4, after which time NASA will have to stand down to allow the Air Force to launch an Atlas 5 rocket carrying a military satellite. Mission managers have said the shuttle launch window would subsequently re-open around May 8 and then extend through nearly the end of the month.

Twenty courses of bricks have been laid, and the new prayer wall is nearly complete. Young masons work five steps apart, and a human chain brings them bricks from a fresh pile in a corner of Subhas Park. Though it is a mosque they are building, the work is slapdash. The point, as everyone here knows, is not to do it beautifully but to get it done quickly. This Friday, namaaz was offered here, as more than one person on site says proudly, "for the first time in 155 years".
Less than three weeks after a Muslim machinery operator — so the local gossip goes — on the Jama Masjid Metro station site next door came upon a buried stone wall, MLA Shoaib Iqbal and local residents have decided that the remains mark the plinth of the Akbarabadi Masjid, and resolved to rebuild it. The find is in the news because of the unusual way in which the mosque was searched for and, perhaps, found — not by archaeologists but by diggers funded by the MLA, who is the sole legislative member of the Lok Janshakti Party. The new brick wall sits atop the old stone wall.
The historical Akbarabadi Masjid was built by a wife of Shah Jahan in around 1650, about the same time as the Jama Masjid nearby. It was large and located at the point where Faiz Bazar (now Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg), bent as it neared the Red Fort. It is visible in maps of Delhi before 1857, and there is one woodcut print from 1847. That shows the mosque without its courtyard walls, and with half the north minaret missing — damage wrought in Delhi's violent 18th century. But 1858 saw the worst damage of all. The British, after the 1857 Revolt, razed the mosque and hundreds of other buildings to create an artillery esplanade for the Red Fort.
For the last decade, says middle-aged Sultan, who is plainly of some consequence on this building site, his boss the local MLA has been searching for this mosque. Four years ago, says Sultan, he found his boss poring over a big map of Shahjahanabad. "What's this?" he says Iqbal asked him, pointing. "It looks like a mosque," Sultan replied. Iqbal laughed and said, "You've played a lot of football on this ground." Sultan says he was surprised: "How could I have played football in a mosque?"
He could, because the stone wall was discovered beneath Subhas Park. Now the entire space has been cleared, and many from the stream of locals and the curious coming to see or lend a hand point out that the mosque, if it is one, would have extended onto what are now the main road and the petrol station nearby. The single rediscovered wall is so long that they may be right. The new mosque "will be built up the first storey", says one young man.
In front of the arch facing Makkah, an elderly man is praying. A neatly dressed young man on a plastic chair yells at passersby to take off their shoes. "Can't you see the Kalima," he barks at defaulters, referring to banners carrying the Islamic declaration of the faith. A curious little girl in salwar-kameez is scolded away altogether.
Under an enormous old tree behind the wall, and next to a clear patch where another bystander says a madrasa will soon stand, a young boy named Abdus sits guard over two trunks full of finds. They include pottery and ceramic fragments, pieces of bone and stonework. He is busy cleaning, sorting and supervising, and is happy to let the small, curious crowd see and handle them. Until Sultan comes roaring up angrily to ask who has opened the trunks. In the blink of an eye Abdus has vanished — only to hop into the deep new ditch nearby to poke around for even more treasure.

Protect Your Mortgage Data from Hackers
September 25, 2014 1:28 am
Because they're part of the financial industry, mortgage lending sites have the benefit of regulation that extends to online cyber security. Though mortgage websites are more secure than others, homeowners must still take steps to ensure their mortgage documents remain inaccessible to hackers. Research a lender thoroughly before handing over any personal information, and confirm that their website is secure by considering these qualifications.
Source: Bankrate
1. Is the site securely connected? The best indicator of a secure connection is the 'https' URL and lock symbol beside it. If a pop-up warning arises, don't ignore it.Once you've evaluated a website for security clearance, continue to view credit reports throughout the year to find evidence of identity theft, especially if you have a new mortgage. Be aware that while some information will be public record (address, purchase price, etc.), sensitive data such as a Social Security number and tax returns should always remain between you and the lender.
2. Does the site require a password? Make sure the password prompt requires a strong code with combinations of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.
3. Does the site offer an alternative message form? Seek out another form of communicating with your lender other than email.
4. Has the lender informed you of their security measures? If not, ask. You will be able to gauge whether or not security is a priority for them by their response.

text: One of my faculty colleagues, Dr. Tim Berra, has prepared an excellent illustrated talk on the life and times of Charles Darwin. He has received many compliments on his presentations at several prominent universities, some of which are mentioned below. He has asked me to forward the following information to my colleagues in botany who might be planning a Darwin Day at their own university. Please contact Dr. Berra directly if you are interested. Dave Kramer Asst. Prof. of EEOB Ohio State Unviersity at Mansfield **************************** If your university has a Darwin Day, you may want to know about my lecture on Charles Darwin's life. Please pass this on to the people who organize Darwin Day. For Darwin Day background, before you approach chairpersons, deans, etc. for funding, you might want to read the Darwin Day story in 10 Feb. 06 Science: 769-771. I was the keynote speaker at Darwin Day at University of Tennessee and Southern Illinois University in Feb. 06 and at University of Nebraska last year. I have a 105 minute Power Point lecture with 100+ slides that covers the life of Charles Darwin from birth to death and deals with his family, friends, books, and significance to Western thought. It is entitled Charles Darwin: The Man 1809-1882. Attached is a poster from the University of Tennessee. Some people who might attend will know my name as the author of Evolution and the Myth of Creationism (Stanford Uni. Pr. 1990). I would be delighted to give this lecture at your university or museum. It is a painless way to teach about evolution and to show the public that "Darwin" is not a dirty word. I have found the audiences very receptive. My lecture fee is $2,000 plus expenses. I've also given this lecture in 2001 and again in 2005 at the Northern Territory Museum in Darwin, NT, Australia, where I am Research Associate. I got a standing ovation and an invitation to make a presentation before the Lord Mayor and the Darwin City Council. I'm trying to get them to produce a monument to the city's namesake in time for 2009, the bicentennial of Darwin's birth. I get very popular around 12 Feb. so now is the time to plan. Of course, I can give this talk almost any time throughout the year, except January. You can check out my web site listed below and download my recent papers on nurseryfish (males carry eggs on a hook on their head) that I study in tropical rivers near Darwin, Australia. I could also give a biology departmental seminar on my nurseryfish work while at your university entitled Chasing Nurseryfish and Avoiding Crocodiles in Northern Australia. Cheers, Tim Tim M.

Story highlights
- Moroccan man was arrested in sting and later pleaded guilty to bombing charges
- Prosecutors said Amine El Khalifi had donned suicide vest, which was disabled
- Lawyer said El Khalifi has no ill will toward Americans, was relieved plot was thwarted
A Moroccan man who admitted to a plot to bomb the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.
"I just want to say that I love Allah. That's it," Amine El Khalifi said before his sentencing at U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.
El Khalifi, 29, agreed to plead guilty in June to attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against government property. Prosecutors and defense lawyers agreed to a sentencing range of 25 to 30 years as part of a plea agreement.
El Khalifi was arrested in an FBI sting last February after authorities said he donned a suicide vest and accepted an automatic weapon in a parking garage near the Capitol complex. The vest and the gun had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement.
"This case is the first suicide bomber in America," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg in arguing for the higher sentence to send a message. "We cannot wait until there are real dead victims."
Kromberg also referred to the attack on Tuesday by armed militants on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on the anniversary of the al Qaeda attacks of September 11, 2001.
"We just had an ambassador killed in Libya," said Kromberg. "These things can't be tolerated."
El Khalifi's lawyer, Kenneth Troccoli, argued his client should get the lower range of the sentence.
"His motive was to do what he thought God had told him to do," Troccoli said.
El Khalifi has no ill will toward Americans and was relieved his plot was thwarted and no one was injured, Troccoli said, adding that his client admitted culpability to a serious offense but was "enabled" in the plot by two men who he didn't know were working for the FBI.
Kromberg stressed at the sentencing hearing that El Khalifi was driving the plot and was not pushed into it by undercover officers.
But Troccoli said the undercover agents offered to send martyrdom payments to El Khalifi's parents in Morocco and also paid off his debts. El Khalifi's religion would not allow him to give up his life while in debt or leave his family in financial trouble, Troccoli said.
The attorney also described his client as a young man who came to the United States at 16 as a visitor and liked it so much he stayed. El Khalifi overstayed his visa and was in the country illegally at the time of his arrest.
Troccoli said El Khalifi's main interest was in mixing music but that led him to a lifestyle that included spending time in night clubs and using drugs. At his mother's urging, El Khalifi became more religious and started regularly attending a mosque and reading the Quran, the attorney said.
According toTroccoli, his client thought his religion required him to mount his attack but it didn't matter if it was successful.
"He has no desire to ever do this again," said Troccoli.
But U.S. District Judge James Cacheris asked: "What if God tells him to do this again when he gets out?"
Troccoli said El Khalifi believed he had "satisfied his faith" and also noted the plea agreement called for his client to be deported to Morroco after he serves his time.
Cacheris nevertheless imposed the maximum sentence under the plea agreement.
According to a statement of facts in the case, El Khalifi changed his mind about what to target and at various times considered a restaurant, a military installation and a synagogue.
He eventually decided to try to blow himself up in the Capitol, according to the court document, and said "he would be happy killing 30 people."
El Khalifi admitted performing surveillance at the Capitol and asking an associate, who was secretly part of the FBI sting, to remotely detonate the bomb if he ran into problems with security.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
The order is in force until our son finishes his first degree. He has to send me his wage slips every year to see if he has had a wage increase. He has set up new pension facilities so he does not have to give me an increase. He has only increase once in the first year from £475 per month to £493 and that is what it has staid since then. His wage increases have been swallowed up by his increase in his pension contributions and last year he started up a new one for £200 per month. Oliver starts University in Plymouth hopefully in September if he gets the grades on his offer to them.He has messed me about before.
Thank you for your reply. I am disappointed that all you can reply is a website. I thought I would have got a personal reply especially when I mentioned that he increased his pension during the time we have been divorced instead of increasing my payment for maintenance. I appear to have had no reply to that part of my questioning. This is important as I did not agree to any of that. There was no mention of him increasing his payment instead of increasing the payment for maintenance. He works for the MOD and they they his pension, his contributions are an extra towards his pension so surely his maintenance towards his son takes precedence.

|Oracle9i Database Concepts
Release 2 (9.2)
Part Number A96524-01
This manual describes all features of the Oracle server, an object-relational database management system. It describes how the Oracle server functions and lays a conceptual foundation for much of the practical information contained in other Oracle server manuals. Information in this manual applies to the Oracle server running on all operating systems.
This preface contains these topics:
Oracle9i Database Concepts is intended for database administrators, system administrators, and database application developers.
To use this document, you need to know the following:
This document contains:
This chapter provides an overview of the concepts and features you need for understanding the Oracle data server. You should read this overview before using the detailed information in the remainder of this manual.
This chapter discusses how data is stored and how storage space is allocated for and consumed by various objects within an Oracle database.
This chapter discusses how physical storage space in an Oracle database is divided into logical divisions called tablespaces. It also discusses the physical operating system files associated with tablespaces (datafiles) and files used in recovery (control files).
This chapter describes the data dictionary, which is a set of reference tables and views that contain read-only information about an Oracle database.
This chapter describes an Oracle instance and explains how the database administrator can control the accessibility of an Oracle database system.
This chapter discusses distributed processing environments in which the Oracle data server can operate.
This chapter describes the memory structures used by an Oracle database system.
This chapter describes the process architecture of an Oracle instance and the different process configurations available for Oracle.
This chapter describes how the Database Resource Manager can be used to control resource use.
This chapter describes the database objects that can be created in the domain of a specific user (a schema), including tables, views, numeric sequences, and synonyms. Optional structures that make data retrieval more efficient, including indexes, materialized views, dimensions, and clusters, are also described.
This chapter describes how partitioning can be used to split large tables and indexes into more manageable pieces.
This chapter describes the types of relational data that can be stored in an Oracle database table, such as fixed- and variable-length character strings, numbers, dates, and binary large objects (BLOBs).
This chapter gives an overview of the object extensions that Oracle provides.
This chapter briefly describes SQL (Structured Query Language), the language used to communicate with Oracle, as well as PL/SQL, the Oracle procedural language extension to SQL. It also discusses the procedural language constructs called procedures, functions, and packages, which are PL/SQL program units that are stored in the database.
This chapter explains how Oracle manages the dependencies for objects such as procedures, packages, triggers, and views.
This chapter defines the concept of transactions and explains the SQL statements used to control them. Transactions are logical units of work that are run together as a unit.
This chapter discusses triggers, which are procedures written in PL/SQL, Java, or C that run implicitly whenever a table or view is modified or when some user actions or database system actions occur.
This chapter describes parallel execution of SQL statements (queries, DML, and DDL statements) and explains the rules for parallelizing SQL statements.
This chapter describes the Oracle direct-path
INSERT feature for serial or parallel inserts, and the
NOLOGGING clause.
This chapter explains how Oracle provides concurrent access to and maintains the accuracy of shared information in a multiuser environment. It describes the automatic mechanisms that Oracle uses to guarantee that the concurrent operations of multiple users do not interfere with each other.
This chapter discusses data integrity and the declarative integrity constraints that you can use to enforce data integrity.
This chapter describes how to control user access to data and database resources.
This chapter discusses security at the system and schema object levels.
This chapter discusses how the Oracle auditing feature tracks database activity.
This appendix lists all the operating system specific references within this manual.
This appendix contains conceptual information that might be of interest if you created your database with an earlier version of Oracle.
The glossary defines terms used in this manual.

'It's a witch-hunt' says Sarkozy, as he is charged with corruption
Nicolas Sarkozy has been charged with corruption in a probe linked to allegations that the French ex-president received up to €50m in illegal campaign financing from the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
After 15 hours of questioning by police, the conservative politician was driven to offices of a judge in the early hours of yesterday where he, his lawyer and a senior magistrate were told they were being charged with corruption and "influence-peddling".
Responding to the charge last night, Mr Sarkozy said:that he was the victim of a "grotesque" political witch-hunt only hours after he was charged with corruption in a long-running inquiry surrounding campaign finances.
"I am profoundly shocked by what has happened," he said in his first television interview since he lost the presidency two years ago. "I have never committed any act contrary to the values of the republic or the rule of law."
In an interview with the TF1 station recorded after he was released early yesterday following 15 hours of police questioning, Mr Sarkozy said:
"Everything is being done to present an image of me that does not conform to reality.
"There is a desire to humiliate me. The charges against me are grotesque."
"I would like to say to those listening that I have never betrayed their trust. I have never committed an act against the principles of the republic or the rule of law."
Accusing the magistrates' trade union of seeking to destroy him, he said: "Everything is being done to give me a reputation that is not true." Mr Sarkozy is accused of using his position of power to try to find out information about legal proceedings against him.
"Sarkozy: The Shock Wave" was the front-page headline in 'Le Figaro' newspaper which described his questioning on Tuesday as "spectacular" and noted that it was the first time in modern history that a French ex-president had been detained by police.
Investigators must now decide if there is enough evidence to bring Mr Sarkozy and the other two suspects to trial on the charges of influence-peddling, which can be punished by up to five years in prison, and "active corruption", which carries a sentence of up to 10 years.
Mr Sarkozy, who has denied any wrong-doing in this and the various other affairs for which he is being investigated, was due to speak yesterday evening on French television station TF1, the broadcaster said.
The corruption charges will deal a severe blow to Mr Sarkozy's rumoured plans to attempt a political comeback in time for the 2017 presidential election.
They come at a time of turmoil in French politics, with Mr Hollande's government deeply unpopular as it struggles with a sluggish economy and record unemployment, a surge in support for the far-right Front National, and Mr Sarkozy's UMP party riven by in-fighting and weighed down by a campaign finance scandal.
The Hollande government has denied it is carrying out a witch-hunt against Mr Sarkozy. Both Mr Hollande and his Prime Minister Manuel Valls said judges were acting independently and that Mr Sarkozy benefited like all suspects from the presumption of innocence.
Police are trying to establish whether Mr Sarkozy promised a job in Monaco to a judge in return for letting him know whether allegations against him would go to court.
French media in March revealed police intercepts of Mr Sarkozy's phone conversations with his lawyer, Thierry Herzog, which suggested that the two men may have persuaded a judge to provide inside information on a case against the former president.
The phone taps had initially been ordered by judges probing allegations that Libya's Gaddafi had donated up to €50m in illegal financing for Mr Sarkozy's successful 2007 presidential campaign.
After four fruitless months the judges discovered Mr Sarkozy had a secret phone registered under an assumed name. Recordings from that device led to the opening of the influence peddling investigation.
Mr Sarkozy, who is a lawyer by trade, was charged last year in a probe into allegations his party took envelopes stuffed with cash from France's richest woman, L'Oreal heiress Liliane Bettencourt. Those charges were later dropped but his campaign treasurer is one of 10 people awaiting trial in that case. Mr Sarkozy's encounters with the law began only a short time after he lost his presidential immunity a month after leaving the Elysee, when anti-corruption police raided the Paris home he shares with his third wife Carla Bruni.
