Another way to look at this plugin is that it provides (non-automatic) revisions for widgets. Note that this only adds functionality to widgets managed in the Customizer.

Julie Ryder Lammers
We are just a month into a new presidential administration and the 115th Congress, but there is a lot on the horizon that might be of interest to the higher education community.
Who are the higher education players in the new Trump Administration?
First, there is the much discussed and debated Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos. Like many Secretaries of Education before her, Secretary DeVos' expertise is in the K-12 education reform space and she comes to ED with very little practical experience in higher education administration. It will be incumbent on all who have personal interaction and experience in higher education to inform her and her staff of the priorities to pursue in the years to come. The good thing about a clean slate is that it can be filled with great ideas. We just need to make sure that they are the right ideas for higher education and student borrowers.
However, while there was a lot of press floating around about Secretary DeVos, the confirmation process to fill the Department of Education (and every other administrative agency) is far from over. There are approximately 4,000 jobs in the federal government that are filled by political appointment. Of these, about 1,200 are positions (like Cabinet secretaries, agency directors, and ambassadors) that must be confirmed by the Senate. Of the most high profile 549 positions of President Trump's Administration, currently only 14 members have been confirmed, 20 are awaiting confirmation and 515 have yet to be nominated.
Some of those still awaiting nomination are the key players who will direct higher education policy for the administration. In total, there are about 150 political appointee positions to be filled at ED. There has been talk that Secretary DeVos will eliminate one of these key positions, the Office of the Under Secretary. In previous presidential administrations, this office oversaw Federal Student Aid, postsecondary education, and career and technical education. This post was held by Martha Kanter and then Ted Mitchell in the Obama Administration, and is currently held by career ED staffer Lynn Mahaffie. DeVos is reportedly thinking about eliminating the Under Secretary, which could shift higher education policy to the Department of Education's chief of staff and the Office of the Deputy Secretary. Multiple political reports have Josh Venable as a leading pick for chief of staff and Allan B. Hubbard as the pick for Deputy Secretary. Venable is the former national director of advocacy and legislation at the Foundation for Excellence in Education, and an advisor to the Jeb Bush presidential campaign. The good thing for higher education is that Gov. Bush was the only Republican presidential nominee with a fully articulated higher education plan. Whether you liked the Bush plan or not, Venable has likely given some thought to higher education policy. Possible Deputy Secretary Allan B. Hubbard is a former economic advisor to both Presidents Bush and is currently the Chairman of E & A Industries.
In addition, other staffers the Trump administration will rely on to conduct education policy include:
There are also a number of career employees leading offices until new appointees are confirmed. Some of these appointees may stay on permanently, or they may be replaced by the administration. They includeJoe Conaty in the Office of the Deputy Secretary; Sandra Battle in the Office for Civil Rights; James Runcie in Federal Student Aid; Kim Ford in the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education; and Lynn Mahaffie in the Office of Postsecondary Education and the Office of the Under Secretary.
Finally, Jerry Falwell, Jr., President of Liberty University. has been asked by President Trump to lead a new task force on higher education. The task force will be asked to identify changes to policies and procedures at the Department of Education, and work on eliminating higher education regulations. The other members of the task force, and the exact scope of their work, has not yet been outlined.
In addition to the Administration, there is plenty going on in Congress that will impact student borrowers. In this session of Congress there is likely to be a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA). This reauthorization was due in 2014 and has been extended several times as it waited in the Congressional queue of priorities. With no other major education legislation on the docket, this is likely the year Congress will try to take up HEA. Right now the Senate HELP committee (the Senate Committee with jurisdiction over the HEA) is bogged down with the aforementioned administration nominees and the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Once those two things move off the docket, they may turn their attention to higher education, which HELP Committee Chairman Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) has said is his number one education priority for this session.
Senator Alexander has said that he would like to focus on issues like simplification of the FASFA and elimination of higher education regulations in the reauthorization. He has also proposed that colleges and universities should somehow be responsible for defaulted federal student loans through a risk-sharing or "skin-in-the-game" program, but has not clarified the details of such a proposal.
Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC-5 ), the chair of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, has also outlined her priorities for HEA reauthorization. These include, "empowering students and families to make informed decisions," "simplifying and improving federal student loans," "promoting innovation, access and completion," and "deregulation." Her simplification proposal includes recommendations to streamline the system to a one grant/one loan/one work study federal loan program, and her "empowering students" proposal includes providing annual financial counseling and information on the true costs to attend college.
While no HEA reauthorization has been drafted, a number of pieces of legislation that impact higher education have been proposed in both houses of Congress. If they fall under the purview of the HEA, they will likely be rolled into that bill during a full reauthorization. This would likely include most legislation that relates to higher education unless it is a tax proposal.
The proposed bills most relevant to Salt student borrowers are listed below. We will track these bills and let you know if and when they make their way through Congress.

Employment Forms Made Easy with RightSignature
By: Daryl Bernstein / Thursday, August 2, 2012
You need to get new hires onboard efficiently and quickly – the days of printing, emailing, faxing, scanning, and loading up FedEx packages with hiring documents are over. Sending forms for e-signature with RightSignature makes a great first impression, showing new hires that they are joining a professional operation from the start.
Plus, managing onboarding with RightSignature improves compliance (employment forms must be fully completed before submission) and diminishes legal risk (hires must sign the exact version of the contract you sent).
Employment Forms for Online SigningRightSignature is an HR power tool. Here are 8 employment forms you can get signed electronically to streamline your hiring process:
- Tax Forms. Get W-4's signed quickly to withhold the correct amount of federal income tax with verified employee consent.
- Non-Disclosure Agreements. Safeguarding your intellectual property is vital— NDA's keep confidential information private and protect your trade secrets.
- Questionnaires. Entrance/Exit interviews, Career Development surveys, and Job Empowerment surveys help employees receive effective training and support.
- Health Enrollment Forms. Make new enrollments seamless and simplify open enrollment periods with online distribution of plan selection forms.
- Employment Agreements. Leave no room for confusion by documenting all employment and compensation terms in a referenceable agreement.
- Direct Deposit Authorizations. Direct deposit participation makes payroll easier, keeps employees happy, and provides accurate, accessible financial records.
- Performance Reviews. Quickly dispense vital feedback and ensure performance reviews are read, understood, and signed, eliminating miscommunication.
- Employee Handbook Acknowledgements. Decrease legal risk and liability by having employees sign off on handbook terms annually.
Hiring is integral to your business growth, and RightSignature makes getting employment forms completed easier than ever. And if you're looking for a full-featured HR software to track employee compensation, vacation time, and benefits, check out the BambooHR integration with RightSignature.

Theater Reviews
Empty TWITTER
EmptyWadsworth Theatre, Los Angeles
Through June 17
In a packed Wadsworth Theatre roaring at every funny line, relishing every wicked innuendo and embracing the "Alice in Wonderland" characters with heartfelt glee, it's easy to see why the smash hit musical about a flock of campy nerds won two Tony Awards in 2005.
Director James Lapine makes sure that there is not one wasted second in the intermission-less 110 minutes, and that the succession of monologues, arias, ensembles and dance numbers doesn't get too tangled up in its headlong race to the finish line. The dowdy Wadsworth Theatre cleans up well, and the expressionistic perspectives of the brightly colored sets add to the merriment.
Ultimately, of course, it's about the high school spelling bee finalists, and it's a treat to watch as each member of the original Broadway cast, reunited for this limited run, struts his or her stuff. The strutters are led by Tony winner Dan Fogler as the Tweedledum-Tweedledee-sized anger management candidate who learns that it's even more fun to win while falling in love. Whether fuming, dancing or losing his heart, Fogler is an irresistible force of nature.
He's hotly pursued, however, for the night's top honors by Jesse Tyler Ferguson, playing the apparently brain-damaged son of a hippie couple, updating the hysterical sexual transcendence that was Alan Sues' trademark long ago on "Laugh-In," and who also contributes a regal turn (along with Derrick Baskin) as one of a bickering, all-dad parenting duo. The cutest contestant, hands down, is the daughter of the dads, Sarah Saltzberg, whose adorable lisp and Teutonic manner keep the audiences in stitches.
Deborah S. Craig as an Asian overachiever is totally marvelous, pouting as she exposes her fun-loving Valley Girl ego for everyone to see. Jose Llana, as a frustrated Eagle-type scout, expends a lot of energy and astonishes the audience with his erectile dysfunction -- not! Celia Keenan-Bolger, with a nightingale of a voice, blooms just as a virginal teenager ought to, and her puppy love affection provides Fogler with a humanizing touch.
None of the hilarity would be possible without the stable instability of the two "adults," led by Lisa Howard as a real estate agent and past winner who, as the bee's moderator, puts on a happy face from the word "go." Not to mention that she has a glorious voice, and maintains it long after a Stepford wife would have given up.
Meanwhile, what would a spelling bee be without a professional dork making sure every word is pronounced correctly and providing occasionally snide definitions ("Billy, put down that phylactery. We're Episcopalians!")? As the dork, Jay Reiss is up to the task.
There is a certain amount of tailoring included in this production to make the audience feel at home. While Putnam County itself is geographically ambiguous, finalists refer to schools in Topanga Canyon and elsewhere, and one mentions the VA grounds (where Wadsworth Theatre is located). And the company's trademark interactive element, selecting volunteers from the audience to join the finalists (and presumably stay as long as they can spell the words they are given), is maintained to the great enjoyment of all.
Aside from one comment earnestly lisped by Saltzberg, that "all anyone cares about is whether Paris Hilton is going to jail, yet no one minds that President Bush isn't," there isn't a serious word spoken all evening. And to tell the truth, no one cares.

Aberdeen is a small town in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, located 12km north from Muswellbrook. The New England Highway goes through the town, one side of the highway is the Chocolate Cafe and a small park on the other side of the highway, some people camp in this small park which is thought to be the free camp. The free camp is at the Aberdeen Golf and Bowling Clubs which allows free camping near the amenities block between the playing fields and suitable for caravans, camper vans and RV's.
Make a turn into the golf and bowling clubs driveway, drive past both till you see the brown brick amenities block next to cricket pitch, this is the free camp, the ground is flat with picnic tables, rubbish bin and one of the toilet is left open (male toilets the night we stayed). There is a free shower at the club if you have a meal and a drink.
We didn't hear much highway noise, also trains do pass by on the other side of the highway quiet regularly, but this didn't bother us or upset our sleep.

In the U.S.
How can my organization, city council, government agency, business, or other entity help the national effort to ratify the convention in the United States?
For the US to become a ratifying nation, the presidential administration must first sign the CRPD (this is known as becoming a signatory to the treaty). At that point, the Senate is the governing body that Ratifies the treaty for the US.
Many disability advocacy groups and individual activists have taken the lead in promoting the CRPD in the US by getting their own local governments (cities & counties) to officially endorse the treaty. For more info go to our page on The Local Initiatives Project.
Other groups or individuals can support these efforts through activities such as writing letters to Congress or the President and including links on your websites to information about the CRPD.
For those who are interested in becoming involved more directly, organizations such as the United States International Council on Disabilities (USICD) would be happy to assist, and of course, Ratify CRPD Now is always here to help organizations and individuals to build support. Please feel free to contact us.

Au Revoir, Armoire
Why the furniture mainstay is being driven to extinction
America's obsession with flat-panel TVs has been a boon for sports nuts and videogame addicts. But it's sounded the death knell of the entertainment armoire, that bulky living-room fixture that has been used for decades to hide mammoth old-school sets.
The anti-armoire movement is most visible in the nation's hotel chains, which are dumping the clunky closets by the tens of thousands as they undergo renovations. Industry analysts estimate that as many as 40,000 armoires could be looking for new homes by the end of the year.
The rejects are ending up in some unlikely spots. Some are retiring to the Dominican Republic, where they're being used in bed-and-breakfasts and private living rooms. Craigslist and eBay have hundreds of postings by people trying to unload the units. But most are gathering dust in warehouses from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
National Content Liquidators, an Ohio-based company specializing in hotel liquidations, recently picked up 200 cabinets from Le Meridien in Beverly Hills, Calif. In part because of the glut, the company has dropped the prices on some of its armoires from several hundred dollars apiece to $50. In Los Angeles, Hotel Surplus Outlet, which has between 400 and 500 armoires from places such as the Venetian in Las Vegas, says it's at armoire overload and has been refusing hundreds of them since the summer.
"We don't want to have a warehouse full of buggy whips," says Michael Grimmé, owner of AMC Liquidators in Fort Lauderdale, where unsold armoires from luxury properties are piling up. Mr. Grimmé says he has cut prices by about 25%, which has attracted buyers who need to outfit lower-end hotels and motels.
Don Fenning, president and owner of Hotel Surplus Outlet, says that since July he has turned down six hotels offering a total of 2,200 cabinets. Some end up being donated to charity. "The fact is, it's an obsolete piece of furniture for a hotel room these days," he says.
Mr. Fenning has instructed his employees to play up the versatility of the furniture. Tops can be chopped off and the rest redone to make nightstands, he says. He says he is fond of a recent episode of HGTV's "Design on a Dime" that showcases one of his entertainment armoires being turned into a computer workstation.
Where to Find Them
Hotel Surplus Outlet, www.hotelsurplus.com
This Los Angeles liquidator is encouraging customers to buy armoires and convert them into computer stations.
Universal Hotel Liquidators, www.furnishcheap.com
Armoires start at $89.95. Starting next year, the company plans to throw in free tube TVs to help move inventory.
National Content Liquidators, www.nclsales.com
Starting prices for armoires here are down to $50. Among its hotel clients: Le Meridien in Beverly Hills.
AMC Liquidators, www.amcliquidators.com
This Fort Lauderdale liquidator has sold armoires that were once used to furnish the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach.

Interior designer Ann Lantello turned to Hotel Surplus Outlet when she furnished Passages, a Malibu, Calif., rehab clinic, with armoires and other finds. But she says she's through with the cabinets: "We're putting in flat screens." Unlike the old 27-inch tube TVs in guest rooms, the new ones "look great on the wall," says Ms. Lantello.
Hotels began introducing entertainment armoires in the 1960s to conceal the ungainly TV sets they were also rolling out at the time. The cabinets became fixtures in the '70s and '80s, as sets shrank and became easier to place inside them.
Now, furniture manufacturers such as Vaughan-Bassett and Hooker Furniture are coming out with media dressers and consoles that display televisions rather than hide them. Vaughan-Bassett estimates sales of entertainment armoires have fallen by at least a third this year compared to last year.
By 2009, Hilton Hotels says it hopes to have ditched 93,000 27-inch tube TVs and replaced them with 32- and 37-inch LCD sets, displayed on dressers. Marriott International says it placed nearly 25,000 LCD TVs into its full-service hotels in the U.S. and Canada this year, phasing out the corresponding armoires. To reflect the changes, AAA is adjusting its criteria for rating hotels. Current guidelines recommend that guest rooms have TVs in closed armoires to merit a four- or five-diamond rating; its updated guidelines, scheduled for release this month, will allow sets to be displayed on walls or dressers.
Consumers are having their own problems trying to get rid of entertainment cabinets. Jamie Ross, a 36-year-old resident of Manhattan, recently tried to sell an armoire online for $2,000. He has since lowered the price several times -- it's now $750 "or best offer" -- but says his hope is flagging after more than a month of no legitimate offers. "I can't get rid of this damn thing," says Mr. Ross, who is trying to clear the way for a 40-inch LCD. He plans to put the armoire in storage rather than dramatically lower the price. "It's still a nice piece," he says. "It's solid cherry."
There is one place where armoires are getting a warmer reception: the Dominican Republic. Miami aircraft leaser Fernando Jimenez discovered AMC Liquidators several years ago when he was looking to furnish his brother's recently opened bed-and-breakfast on the island. Impressed by the relatively low prices and rising quality of the armoires, Mr. Jimenez started buying up all sorts of furniture from the liquidator and shipping it to the Dominican Republic, where his brother resells them.
In the last year, they have resold two 40-foot containers' worth of furniture, Mr. Jimenez estimates, including eight armoires from the historic Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Fla. Some of them are headed for a new apartment development in Punta Cana, a beachside resort town. "The stuff is actually in pretty good shape," Mr. Jimenez says. "It has easily another five years of life."
Give Your Cabinet a Makeover
Buying a flat-panel TV doesn't mean you have to junk your entertainment armoire. Here, Spencer Anderson, a design consultant for HGTV's "Design on a Dime," tells how to convert that obsolete storage unit into a wardrobe.
Materials: A screw gun or Allen wrench, wooden clothing rod and two mounting cups (available at hardware stores), primer, paint, paintbrush and roller.
- Unscrew the TV shelf and slider and remove them.
- Cut the clothing rod down to size, or ask the hardware store to do it for you.
- Screw the mounting cups onto either side of the armoire's interior, then insert the rod into the cups.
- Prime the interior using a high-quality paintbrush to avoid leaving hair in the finish.
- Paint the interior, using a foam roller for a more uniform finish. Using a different color from the outside "can make the interior pop," says Mr. Anderson, who adds that black can look particularly elegant. Mr. Anderson also recommends using semigloss paint.

#375: Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. by Bruce Springsteen
Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. by Bruce Springsteen (1973)
Favorite Track(s): "Blinded By the Light" and "Growin' Up" and "Lost in the Flood" and "The Angel" and "For You" and "Spirit in the Night" and "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City"
Thoughts: EVERYTHING IS EARLY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND NOTHING HURTS. And by early, I mean his first studio album. And I will start by saying, leave my blog now, and go to a music-listening site of your choice, and listen to this album. Just do it. All you will find here is my inability to express with words how I love this man's music, and specifically this album. Also my favorite lyrics!
We've only had one Bruce album so far, my beloved Tunnel of Love, but this is our first album with the E Street Band!* Well, one of its earliest incarnations, at least.
Some lyrics from "Growin' Up":
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up.
I mean, come on.
Yes, "For You" is on my Doctor Who playlist, and especially makes me think of Rose.** Like "For You" I think I prefer "Spirit in the Night" live, but the lyrics are lovely:
I think I really dug her 'cause I was too loose to fake
I said, "I'm hurt." She said, "Honey let me heal it".
And we danced all night to a soul fairy band
and she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can
She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night (all night)
And "It's Hard to Be A Saint in the City" (which Bowie covered):
I had skin like leather and the diamond-hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
I could walk like Brando right into the sun
Then dance just like a Casanova
With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat
When I strut down the street I could hear its heartbeat
The sisters fell back and said "Don't that man look pretty"
The cripple on the corner cried out "Nickels for your pity"
Them gasoline boys downtown sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the city
I mean, if the best part of these songs were just the lyrics, I'd love them, but then you add in this fantastic sax and piano and guitar and rhythm. I just love to listen to this music.
Ok, enough gushing.
Is This Better Than A Hard Day's Night?: It is such a relief to finally be able to say, YES.
*I think. I hear disputing reports, some saying that they were all on Tunnel of Love? Perhaps I just need to revisit my album's sleeve.
**Welcome to my deconstruction of "For You" as a Who song! If you are reading this you are one of two people who I think would even be remotely interested in this, but if I can't relate a 1973 rock song to a 2005/2006 sci-fi show on my blog, where can I?
Right, so The Doctor and Rose. So I'm going to post the whole song's lyrics, then put the bits I find relevant to Doctor Who in blue (like his sonic screwdriver, of course) with episode/line/relationship reference in parentheses after it.
Princess cards she sends me with her regards
barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted (Doctor after the Time War!)
To her Cheshire smile (Rose's toothy grin!). I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.
But you let your blue walls (Tardis!) get in the way of these facts
honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
you wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks.
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks".
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you, (companions being picked up by the Tardis in general) but you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask.
And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back
you and your pony face and your union jack (Rose wears a Union Jack shirt in "The Empty Child")
well take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
able to leap tall buildings in a single bound? (Every time the Doctor tells a companion how brilliant they are)
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
you could laugh and cry in a single sound
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds (the strength of the companions)
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god? (When the Doctor acts like a god)
You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach ("Doomsday" episode, at Bad Wolf Bay beach and the Doctor found Rose there)
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach (he doesn't say he loves her)
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
That ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech.
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore (Rose choosing to stay with the Doctor to close the void)
So you, left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
and it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores? (The Doctor thinking he should travel alone because he just messes with people's lives and families and they end up leaving him in the end)
And you should know that's true...
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
and your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
(And yes, I am aware a need to get a life...)

Posted on 07/07/2013 6:28:30 PM PDT by NotYourAverageDhimmi
Children who encounter family break-up are far more likely to be violent, unhappy and feel unfulfilled throughout their lives, according to an NHS study.
Researchers found that the turmoil endured by youngsters has a crucial influence on nearly every facet of their later life.
A cross-section of 1,500 people were asked if they had faced a range of 11 circumstances, known as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), covering abuse, family break-up, being raised with domestic violence and drink or drug addiction.
Coupled with details of their current lives, the research revealed the legacy of broken homes appears to weigh more heavily than any other factor, as among the worst affected group those with four or more ACEs two thirds had seen their parents go their separate ways, compared with an average of 24 per cent.
The chances of suffering a difficult childhood leapt for those born after 1971, when the law changed to make divorce easier. This generation was found to be significantly more likely to smoke, drink heavily, take drugs, fight, be mentally ill and have sex underage.
Norman Wells of the Family Education Trust, a campaign group which researches the causes and consequences of family breakdown, said: Casting aside traditional patterns of family life carries a high price tag in terms of the health, education and employment prospects of the next generation.
The relaxation of divorce laws along with the increasing proportion of births outside marriage has resulted in a growing number of children lacking the benefit of being raised by both their natural parents in a stable unit.
The report a joint venture between Liverpool John Moores University and the NHS
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Well said. In my own limited world of experience, I can say that every psychologist I have known has been a little (or a lot) unstable, neurotic or just downright strange.
I don't think deserving has anything to do with it
I wonder when the divorce was because of domestic violence or addiction problems (for example)whether early exposure to these factors remains a significant influence on the child even after the divorce?
I don't think there is any such thing as a non traumatic divorce for children. So there better be damn good cause to tear apart their life. Daddy needing his space or Mommy wanting to find herself ain't it.
all that easier to TWIST, m'dear (cue evil laugh with lots of reverb)
Forgiving really means passing the burden on to God. It doesn't mean excusing and it doesn't mean taking foolish chances.
I have not read the report, do you know if the results were the same regardless of income?
Because of the example their supposedly responsible adult parents set (and get away with).
We are to forgive but we are not required to keep the abuser in our midst or ever trust them again. Sometimes forgiveness requires healing from the past first and they may still be living it or simply haven't healed yet.
An adult cannot control another adult and if she wants to be abusive 24/7 then at some point a father would want to get some distance between his kids and his psycho wife.
I agree with you but it is very hard to forgive someone who has caused such emotional turmoil. I had a friend who caused me great pain. I finally cut things off with her, then felt guilty for treating her that way. I asked for forgiveness for my treatment of her but I still do not need her in my life. It also took some time before I asked the forgiveness, even though she was clearly the one who needed intervention.

In Robinson v. Commissioner, the Tax Court held that an individual cannot deduct interest paid on tax deficiencies when the deficiencies arose in the conduct of the business of a sole proprietorship. While the Robinson holding itself is not surprising in light of six courts of appeals decisions that arrived at the same result, the fact that the Robinson court relied heavily on congressional staffers' statements printed in the Blue Book ignited immediate controversy: only six judges signed the plurality opinion in Robinson, and eight other judges, whether concurring or dissenting, articulated strong concern that the plurality opinion accorded too much interpretative weight to non-authoritative explanations in the Blue Book. Furthermore, following the issuance of the Robinson opinion, several leading tax practitioners voiced concerns that the Robinson plurality had further confused basic principles of statutory construction by overvaluing statements from the Blue Book; they further predicted that this confusion would have widespread repercussions throughout the field of tax law and beyond. In little more than a year, these predictions began to be fulfilled as the first court to attempt to rely on the Blue Book in a Robinson fashion notably struggled to understand the extent of the Blue Book's authority as a tool for statutory construction.

It is a lingering dark cloud over the head of every women, but much more ominous post-menopause. Young women, while still having a low risk of heart disease (given health is good) have a risk equal to that of men, but in the period of time following cessation of ovulation (menopause) the risk is amplified significantly for the softer sex.
Though this threat is much more pronounced in older women, it is important to understand why this is so, so possible preventative measures can be instituted as soon as possible.
Frequently, the reasons women may experience more symptoms of heart disease include:
Altered Blood Lipids (Cholesterol Values)
A pre-menopausal woman is generally at a reduced risk of heart disease compared to a man of the same age. Why? One major factor; estrogen. Estrogen is able to increase the levels of the good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood, while simultaneously reducing the bad (LDL). As menopause occurs, and estrogen levels plummet, this natural "defense" mechanism in lost, and the tide changes.
However, HDL and LDL are not the only indicators of impending heart disease, as triglycerides play an equal and likely greater role in development. Low HDL and high triglyceride levels are likely the culprits of heart disease.
Traditionally, women are less active than men, and are often less likely to get involved in some sort of physical activity. This is one of the major contributing factors to heart disease, as exercise helps to reduce blood lipid levels, improve insulin sensitivity and function and build muscle mass (which then supports a healthy metabolism).
Women that do not partake in physical exercise are predisposed to development of metabolic syndrome, a group of symptoms, which include resistance to insulin, excessive abdominal fat and more. Metabolic syndrome exponentially increases the risk of developing heart disease or death via heart attack.
Smoking is bad for everyone, but women who smoke may experience a two-fold risk of heart disease than when compared to men. Women are also more likely to be unsuccessful in cessation treatment (such as with using nicotine) and coupled with reduced estrogen protection post-menopause, is a recipe for disaster.
Stress And Depression
Women suffer from symptoms of depression more frequently than men do, and may not handle the influence of stress as efficiently.
The result?
Disruption of the normal hormonal and neuro-chemical balance ion the body, predisposing to other conditions such as high blood pressure, hastened atherosclerotic blockages (deposits in blood vessels) and reduced amount of circulating endorphins.
Endorphins are protective on the heart, and keeping stress levels low. Depression and stress act in a negative synergistic way to promote development of heart disease.
How Can Women Reduce Their Risk?
The good news is, by making smart lifestyle changes today, you can minimize your risk of developing heart disease later in life, or if you are already en route, to take it in hand. Try following these tips:
Take Nutrition Seriously
Don't take youth for granted. Eat lots of dark green vegetables, some of which help promote excretion of bile acids. Bile acids are made from cholesterol, so every time you promote removal, cholesterol levels drop in an attempt to make more. Fiber, and including good fats in your diet are a solid insurance option against heart disease.
Perform both a mix of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which will keep the heart pumping efficiently, burning fatty acids, and strengthening muscle and bones, which will enable movement for a long time to come. Exercise also boosts endorphin levels, which help control depression and stress levels.
Don't Smoke
Smoking does nothing for you. The best way is to never start, a quitting is often difficult. Don't fall victim to peer pressure or the "in-crowd." Stand out, and do it for years to come!

I made these for a friend last year. One for mommy-to-be and one for daddy-to-be. Well, this year baby joined the group and she needed a stocking. I couldn't find the font I used for the names, so I tried to copy it as best I could. It came out a little wonky, I think. Or maybe I was just rushed because I finished this right in the middle of finals (yikes!).
I think the colors were so cute and I bought a little more of the fabric so I could make one for my baby girl. Not the unborn one, but the one who just turned two. I am working on that this week, they will be done my Christmas, I just keep telling myself that, you have to think positive you know. :o)
What last minute projects are you working on this week?

The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) conducts health policy and legislative analysis on health care and budget issues affecting Indian health programs. The Board analyzes the Indian Health Service budget and other health care financing programs that impact Indian health care programs. NPAIHB also prepares Congressional testimony for health care financing and other important health policy issues at the federal and state levels. Click on the respective links to access detailed information about each aspect.
Policy Overview
There is a "legal and political relationship" between the United States and Indian Tribes, which establishes a federal responsibility to provide health services to Indian people. This federal obligation is established in the US Constitution, through treaties and Presidential Executive Orders entered into between the United States and Indian Tribes. This obligation has been affirmed through numerous court decisions, legislation, and policy declarations by Presidential Administrations. This federal relationship forms the legal and moral foundation for the creation of health policies between the United States and Indian Tribes.
The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board is dedicated to upholding the responsibility of the United States to provide health services to Indian people under the federal trust relationship by:
- Advocating and educating Congressional representatives on treaty rights and how such rights relate to health care in Indian Country.
- Developing an Annual Legislative plan to provide recommendations on the President's annual budget and other health care financing programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
- Tracking legislation and other important health policy issues that affect the delivery of health care to American Indian and Alaska Native people.
- Finally, facilitating consultation between state and federal agencies and Tribal leaders on health policy issues in order to understand respective concerns to make important decisions on programs and services that effect Indian people.
To learn about Senate Bills and House Reports that may affect American Indian and Alaska Native people in the Northwest read on, or visit Resolutions.
See the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and the House Resources SubCommittee on Indian and alaska Native Affairs for a list of legislation that impacts Indian programs. Pending legislation can be tracked using the Floor Activity weekly feature of Thomas.

The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB or Board) understands the significance of tracking appropriations for the Indian Health Service (IHS) budget. The IHS budget is the most important source of funding for Indian health programs, and is a recognized obligation of the federal government to provide health services to Indian people.
NPAIHB continues a long-standing tradition of close scrutiny of the IHS budget that began in the 1980s. The federal trust responsibility and the relationship between Tribes and the federal government, by definition, require a partnership in developing the IHS budget. Northwest Tribes are dedicated to this partnership by creating an Annual Budget Analysis and Recommendations Report as well as tracking appropriations to IHS programs.

The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board's (NPAIHB) resolution process is an important mechanism for policy making and is used to assist decision makers on Indian health matters. The usefulness and need of the Board's resolution process and decision making are clear:
* Resolutions are used in the Board's projects, programs, and policies.
* Resolutions assist in the development of Indian health policies.
* Resolutions are used to unite policies and people.
* Resolutions involve input from Tribal constituents (Tribal Leaders, Health Directors, Indian health policy experts, and other Indian health interests).
* Resolutions provide information about Tribal positions for decision makers.
* Resolution development is a proactive process that works toward positive outcomes.
Resolutions are introduced at NPAIHB Quarterly Board Meetings and carried on for introduction at the annual Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) conference. A number of resolutions adopted by ATNI are later introduced at the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and form the basis of becoming national Indian health policy issues. This process establishes an national Indian health policy agenda that becomes a focal point for Tribal leader and Congressional advocacy.
The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board is charged with facilitating State–Tribal relationships in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. This important aspect is carried out via quarterly meetings between key representatives from State health agencies, Tribal leaders and Health Directors, as well as other Indian health advocates to assure Tribal interests are taken into account as health policy is formulated.

Colours presents
Fri 20 Sep 2013 | 10pm-3am | SOLD OUT
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike make their Arches debut on Friday 20th September, following their much-talked-about closing set at the Super You&Me Main Arena at this year's Coloursfest.
If you want to Smash The House this September, then this is the only gig for you… Belgian brothers Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike have come a very long way in a very short period of time, taking just two years to become not only Number 1 hitmakers, but also sought after producers and remixers to the A List elite.
As well as working with some of the biggest names in the industry, in 2010 the brothers were picked by Dutch 'electronic music experience' company ID&T to provide the official theme tune for Belgian mega-fest Tomorrowland. The result, a collaboration with Dada Life and Tara McDonald, was Tomorrow Give In – the incredible muscular EDM anthem heard across the world that summer, and which made them the natural choice for the following year's Tomorrowland festival too.
We have no doubt that this is just the beginning of a very eventful journey for two of dance music's most talented producers of the moment. Get involved and jump on board…
18+ (ID will be required)
Please enter through Midland Street
Arches clubs are open to 18s and over, with valid ID required for entry. We work closely with Police Scotland and have adopted many operational procedures which we believe help provide a safer clubbing environment. The Arches operates a strict zero tolerance drugs policy and is committed to protecting the health and safety of our customers, whom we urge to act responsibly at all times.
The Arches want everyone to enjoy themselves when clubbing so please stay safe and look after each other.
If you have any queries, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call us on 0141 565 1000.
As Scotland's original superclub, the Arches is the stuff of clubbing legend. There really is no other venue like it in the world.
Repeatedly voted one of the top 100 clubs in the world in DJ magazine, the industrial brick arches are home to a continuous roster of the world's most in demand DJs and producers from across the dance spectrum, whether it be minimal techno, big bassline electro, hardstyle, deep house, UK bass, dubstep or trance.
With a Funktion 1 soundsystem and three fully stocked bars spread over six subterranean arches, the space is transformed each weekend depending on the faces behind the decks. From huge, sell out nights with platinum selling Ibiza trendsetters such as Alesso and Laidback Luke or legendary acts such as Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox and Jeff Mills, to the hottest, most-hyped names on the dance scene's lips – from Jamie Jones and Nina Kraviz to Jackmaster and Omar S, ours is one of the most diverse club programmes in the city.
As well as the Arches' own club nights, which have recently brought the likes of Hot Creations label, Madeon and Chase & Status to the venue, for many fans the Arches is synonymous with either of its two biggest nights, Pressure and Colours.
Slam have now been playing and promoting in the Arches since 1992 with their monthly techno and house night Pressure celebrating it's 16th anniversary in November 2014. Normally taking place on the last Friday of the month, Pressure sees the biggest names in the game playing regularly, with guests like Richie Hawtin, Ben Klock, Laurent Garnier, Joris Voorn, Maya Jane Coles, Pan-Pot, Chris Liebing, Dave Clarke, Len Faki, Dubfire, Gary Beck, Visonquest, Heidi, Vitalic and Green Velvet joining resident DJs Slam in recent times.
Scotland's biggest dance promoter, Colours regularly bring the biggest and best names in big room house, tech-house, electro and trance to the venue, with recent guests including Alesso, Otto Knows, Laidback Luke, Dannic, Hardwell, Markus Schulz, Showtek, Gareth Emery, Nervo, AN21 & Max Vangeli, Nicky Romero and many more.

A SUBSTITUTE English teacher arrives at a troubled inner-city school where he faces a daily struggle to control an unruly class.
It may sound a lot like one of those ghastly, production line inspirational teacher movies (see Dangerous Minds, Freedom Writers or Coach Carter), but Detachment is a different beast.
Amid the confrontations are a series of nihilistic monologues concerning life's pointlessness. You don't get that in Dead Poets Society.
Adrien Brody plays the teacher trying to get his pupils to believe in themselves but, at the same time, he's unable, or unwilling, to relate to anyone around him, including a teenage hooker (the excellent Sami Gayle) he takes in from the streets. To Sir With Love it most certainly ain't.

A lot of the slang used in California is also used by the rest of the United States, partly because of Hollywood and partly because a lot of people want to move to California. (Bail also means the temporary release of someone awaiting trial for a crime.) For example, if you're at a friend's house and you want to go home, you can say, "Hey man, I'm tired.
People from California tend to use much more slang than people in other parts of the U. I'm gonna bail."Bomb(ie) – you can say something is bomb when you really like it.
Reallife cam com
You use this to emphasize how easily someone got upset about something so small.
For example, Joe got butthurt when Cami didn't answer her phone.
Claimin' it – what you say when someone is bragging.
(Claim also means to state something is true, usually without evidence.) For example, if someone's talking about how cool they are because they can do a backflip on a snowboard, you can say while rolling your eyes, "Claimin' it," or "he claims so hard."Clutch – when someone unexpectedly has something that helps a situation.
(Clutch also means to grab tightly.) For example, if you buy some wine but you don't have a wine opener at your house, but your friend has one in his backpack, that's clutch.
Cruise – another way to say "come" or "leave." (Cruise also means to sail about for pleasure, often with no desitination.) For example, "Hey man, you wanna cruise over to my place after work? I'm gonna cruise."Dank – another way to say something is good.
(Dank also means disagreeably damp and stale.) This originated from marijuana, but is commonly used for other things as well.
For example, "This food is dank, I could eat it every day."Heavy – when something is very sad or depressing.
(Heavy also means something that weighs a lot.) For example, if someone tells you their cousin died yesterday, you could say, "Damn, dude.

BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel starts a four-day visit to China Thursday, her fourth trip here and third since becoming chancellor in 2005.
Merkel's visit will bring new cooperation opportunities for the two sides and push bilateral ties to a new stage.
Merkel's visit, from July 15 to 18, will continue the sound development momentum of bilateral ties as evidenced by frequent high-level contacts between the two sides since early this year.
In April, Merkel held a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao during the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington. A month later, then German President Horst Koehler made a state visit to China at the invitation of Hu.
Leaders of the two sides have also maintained close contact through various ways such as hotline. The frequent high-level exchanges between China and Germany play a positive role in promoting the sound development of their relations.
A closer tie between China and Germany is in line with the interests of the two nations.
China is Germany's biggest trading partner in Asia, while Germany is China's leading trading partner in Europe.
Last year, despite the economic downturn, bilateral trade topped 105.73 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for more than a quarter of the total China-Europe trade volume.
According to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany's exports to China rose by 7 percent last year. The rise contrasted with an 18 percent overall decline in exports from the biggest economy in Europe.
Trade and economic issues are expected to dominate Merkel's upcoming China visit. A German official revealed Tuesday that Merkel's entourage included senior officials of many large German enterprises in such sectors as energy, automobiles, chemicals, finance and retail trade as well as representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Marianapolis education continues on athletic fields, across dance floors, and behind camera lenses. Each student must participate in two seasons of extracurricular activities every year.
With over a dozen varsity options to choose from, the elite, competitive athlete is in good company here. Students can learn a competitive sport for the first time, too, accessing JV and IIIs level options. And for some of our brightest scholars, the Math Team is the ideal venue for competition.
Many students use extracurriculars to stay healthy - mind and body. Whether they take center stage in a dramatic production, or find spiritual balance through yoga, students grow in countless ways outside the classroom. For a full list of athletic teams, click here.

text: dressing down 19:54 Jacket - Zara Jumper - Zara Trousers - Mango Bag - H&M Shoes - Kurt Geiger Sunglasses - Westward Leaning Just a quick post of what I wore to have a mooch around town on Sunday. This outfit is pretty laid back for me and I rarely wear trousers these days, it's always a skirt or dress. But anyway, I got these gorgeous Mango tartan pants for Christmas and I have been dying to wear them since. They are such a nice fit, much nicer than any Zara trousers fit me (I know, I did just find a fault with Zara. Whats wrong with me?!) and I love the colour! I think these would look great with heels so I will have to produce a few outfit posts including those too. I got these slip ons last year and I still love them, I thought blue was so much more interesting than the black Zara pony fur's that were everywhere last year. It's so nice to wear flat shoes for once too; is it just me or does anyone else find that small heeled boots hurt more than sky-scraper heels?! Here is another one of my fave mini messenger bags that I have become obsessed with lately. I can't believe this is from H&M! Granted it was from their premium range, but still. This bag ticks all the right boxes; stylish, good quality leather and surprisingly roomy! It's my mini Mary Poppins.

Go Diving with Roctopus
Choose from:
Discover Scuba Diving
This is a great way for non-divers to experience diving for the first time, under the direct supervision of a dive leader, with a minimal amount of instruction and classroom time. The academic session focuses on the immediate needs of divers such as equipment adjustment, equalizing pressure, breathing, moving through the water and orientation.
Open Water Diver
SSI's personalized training approach accelerates the process of making you a serious diver in a way that is comfortable and enjoyable for you. After all, everyone learns at a different pace and has personal objectives for their diving. Under the guidance of a professional SSI Instructor, you will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to enjoy a lifetime of underwater exploration.
Advanced Adventurer
This two day course really increases your skill and confidence underwater and also unlocks many doors to becoming a diver. During the Advanced Adventurer course you will have the chance to try out 5 different specialties. You will complete one open water training dive per specialty in order to get a better understanding for each specialty area.
Speciality Diver
This course will further your underwater experience and give you a deeper understanding of the underwater world through fun and relaxed learning. You become more independent from your Instructor.
Stress and Rescue Diver
Stress is a major contributor to rescue situations and diving accidents. Learn accident prevention, as well as how to correctly deal with problem situations if they occur. Make diving safer and more fun by identifying and preventing potential problems. This course is about avoiding, recognizing and solving problems on the surface and under water.
Dive Control Specialist DiveCon
The Dive Con is a combination of Dive Master and Assistant Instructor. As a rule of thumb, in the Dive Master role you are directly responsible for and work primarily with certified divers. In the assistant instructor role, you are indirectly responsible for, and work primarily with, uncertified divers in training. The perfect step to becoming an Instructor!
Dive Master
As a Dive Master you are becoming an expert in your field of dive leadership. This comprehensive course is a mix of classroom-based and practical lessons that will give you the confidence to plan, lead and manage dives, and deal with emergencies. Leading a dive will develop your enjoyment, confidence and experience as a diver. After qualifying, and if you wish, depth can be built progressively to a maximum of 50m. Dive Leaders are eligible to progress to an Instructor.

…and obviously, some measure of proficiency in the art, too. I'm referring to my August 12, 2016 prognostication of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential Election, to which I correctly predicted a Donald J. Trump victory. This was a prediction that I made in opposition to my peers' adamant and unanimous prognostication of a Trump defeat. ( Here's a link to the ANS story: http://astrologynewsservice.com/news/astrologers-align-against-trump/ ).
Why did I get it right and they did not? Were we not all looking at the same Heavenly bodies? The answer to that question is: objectivity. And for that objectivity, I can thank my cynicism. Mind you, I didn't begin life as a cynic. My cynicism is the product of years of disappointment. And in no other area of life have I been so profoundly disappointed as I have been by what we here in America refer to as our "two party system," comprised of the Democratic and the Republican parties – something that many of us have come to regard as, "the one-party fraud." And when I say that the two political parties have disappointed me it is because, in my opinion, from the day that British warships made their final departure from American shores, the greatest injuries done to the USA have been done by US citizens – those members of the Democratic and Republican parties who, once elected to office, have broken their sworn oaths and succumbed to the bribes of foreign interests and to the graft of domestic corruption.
To reiterate, in the matter of my correctly predicting the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential Election, it was this cynical objectivity combined with proficiency in the art that allowed me to recognize that during the 2016 solar cycle the USA's CEO would change from a Saturnine figure to a Jovial figure, and it was this same cynical objectivity that allowed me to differentiate among the several candidates exactly who was truly the Jovial figure.
This of course, and quite reasonably so, raises this question: how is it that I alone am in possession of such a great measure of objectivity and my peers so greatly deprived of objectivity? I do have an answer for this, and this answer is certain to leave me with even fewer friends within the world community of astrologers than at present.
I'll explain…
As anyone who has read my newsletters or blogs will understand, my political and sociological views are a combination of America-first nationalism, unity among all patriotic Americans no matter their race or religion, the belief in limited government and maximum personal liberty, an ardent resistance towards any of the unrealistic Utopian economic systems, and an equally ardent resistance towards collectivism and globalism. It was over a decade ago that I realized that, within the world of astrology, people who shared my political and sociological views were in the great minority – as in almost a zero. I came to the realization that my peers within the community of astrologers were, and nearly to a number, a combination of hard-core party-line Democrats, many of whom regard the only reliable sources of truth in world events as being the big corporate media entities (print and broadcast) and, a significant number of people embracing the very same unrealistic (and ultimately self-injurious) Utopian economic systems and desires to surrender to collectivism and globalism that I disdain. (In the old days, we called these people "pinkos.") During this time I listened as the portion of the community of astrologers with whom I came into contact with discussed their delineation of the nativities of people like Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and gave zero criticism, and only high praise. I realized at that time, that my peers were hopelessly blinded by their zeal for the realization of their Utopian ideologies, and were incapable of objective analysis in the matter of US political events.
So there you have it. And as the recent post-election events have revealed to the whole world the irrefutable truth that it is the 'political left' that is actually populated with the world's violent 'haters', I say, "let the hate mail and all the standard accompanying threats of violence begin!"
