Latest fight in Congress over Stafford loans is a sideshow.
Once again, a battle is brewing over student loan interest rates. If Congress does nothing — something at which it excels — the rate on some new loans placed after July 1 will double, from 3.4% to 6.8%. Meanwhile, the rates on others will remain as high as 7.9%, allowing government to profit from its lending while total student debt surges toward $1 trillion amid escalating college costs.
This has prompted an outburst of posturing, with President Obama and House Republicans accusing each other of failing to repair a broken system. The irony is that both have proposed reasonable fixes that do not differ by much.
SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN: Give students same rate as banks
Whether they can find common ground, however, remains to be seen. The issue has been further clouded in the Senate, where the Democratic majority has tried to push through a two-year extension of the 3.4% rate for subsidized Stafford loans, available to the roughly one-third of students who qualify on the basis of financial need. Some senators are trying to bring the rate down to an absurdly low 0.75%; others are working on a bipartisan compromise that appeared to pick up momentum on Thursday.
Half of students enrolled in four-year public colleges and universities receive federal student loans, and an overhaul of the system is in order. Interest rates should not be subject to political gamesmanship and brinkmanship every time they are about to rise. And while reforming the loan system, Congress might also end a 10-year old program that provides millions in taxpayer dollars to pay off the loans of government workers, including congressional staffers.
The existing system features a bewildering assortment of interest rates on loans, all of which are set by Washington and not by markets. Both Obama and the House Republicans wisely call for letting the rates on all types of loans float, setting them a few points above the rate on a 10-year U.S. Treasury bond.
To protect taxpayers, there are good reasons to tie interest rates to market conditions, rather than congressional whims. Student loans are risky. They are not collateralized. And default rates are high.
Despite the sound and fury about the July 1 deadline, there is less here than meets the eye. Existing loans are not affected. Nor are unsubsidized Stafford or Direct PLUS loans. The difference between 3.4% and 6.8% on newly issued loans is roughly $10 per month for each $5,500 (the maximum allowed per year). No one would have to pay more money for several years. Hardly world-ending stuff.
As there is little evidence that students decide to go to college based on interest rates, a much better use of taxpayer money in helping strapped students would be to increase the funds available in direct Pell grants.
Even more usefully, Congress should exert pressure on colleges to control costs, rather than use the easy availability of federal loan money as an excuse to duck tough decisions about tuition, teaching loads and administrative bloat. The government should also crack down harder on the for-profit schools with high default rates that are more interested in harvesting federal aid than in providing educations.
As for the loan system, a permanent fix should not be all that difficult, if only a bitterly polarized Congress can put results ahead of finger-pointing.

Comments: I've had these for about two months now and they are extremely comfortable and lightweight. they are super maneuverable and have increased my game dramatically from my previous tour skates. only problem is that the chassis edge are squared which has wore through my boot strap super quickly and I've already had to order new straps. but thats only because of where i place my strap
From: Conor, NY
Comments: These skates perform great. They have a lower profile that helps to lower your center of gravity and can go even lower with smaller wheels. Have used them for 6 months now and they are still structurally solid. Boots are very comfy and breath quite well. Only complaint is that you might have an issue with the toenail of your large toe getting caught on the toe vents and that can be painful. Keep your nails short and you won't have this issue.

Alberta and Laval score upsets to advance to semifinals at CIS Nationals in women's volleyball
EDMONTON – The University of Alberta Pandas and the Université Laval Rouge et Or earned upset victories on Friday to open the CIS Nationals in women's volleyball.
The seventh-seed Pandas capitalized on home court advantage to shock the number-two Université de Montréal Carabins 25-20, 25-18, 25-23. It was the first loss this season for the Carabins which went 22-0 in regular season and playoff action in the Quebec Conference.
Sophomore Krista Zubick led the Pandas attack with 20 points while fifth-year veteran Tiffany Proudfoot added 17. Laetitia Tchoualak earned 12 points for Montreal.
"What weaw tonight were players who want to play and thrive in a pressure environment," said Alberta head coach Laurie Eisler. "They are not afraid of being in that pressure cooker, and that's when they bring their best game."
With the victory, the Pandas advance to the national semifinal against another undefeated squad, the now 23-0 UBC Thunderbirds. The Thunderbirds continued to steamroll through their opposition this time beating St. Mary's 25-17, 25-17, 25-13.
Sophomore outside hitter Shanice Marcelle led UBC with 12 kills while fifth-year Liz Cordonier, named CIS player of the year on Thursday, recorded nine kills, one ace, five digs and two solo blocks.
"The first two sets were close, but I liked that we were making errors of commission," said Mike Reimer, named CIS coach of the year for a record fifth time this season. "We were really going for it both serving and attacking so we might have missed a few too many but it was aggressive which is what you want."
There was another upset on Friday as ninth-seed Université Laval Rouge et Or knocked off the fifth ranked Regina Cougars 25-21, 25-21, 25-19. The Rouge et Or's next opponent is the number-three University of Manitoba Bisons for its semifinal. Manitoba defeated the sixth-ranked University of Toronto Varsity Blues 25-21, 25-20, 25-19.
National team member Mélanie Savoie of St-Slyvestre, Que., led the Rouge et Or, with 12 kills, three aces and 14 digs. Middle Karine Ducharme added eight kills and a .540 attack percentage.
"Mélanie's our captain, and she led us today," said Rouge et Or coach Alain Pelletier. "She made really good reads today, and made really strong decisions."
Tricia Mayba led the Bisons attack with 12 kills while first team all-Canadian and national team member Ashley Voth, added nine kills. Heather Bansley, the OUA player of the year, notched 13 kills and 10 digs. She led the CIS this season in kills per set and aces.
"Emotionally, I thought we were pretty jumpy in that game, and a big part of this tournament, is overcoming that despite it not being your best day," said Ken Bentley, Manitoba's 24-year head coach and a two-time CIS coach of the year.
It is the ninth straight year, an Ontario team has not won a first round match at nationals and also the ninth straight season, there are two Canada West teams in the semifinals. Both semis go Saturday.
Men's playoffs
In the Quebec conference men's volleyball final, the Laval Rouge et Or wrapped up a perfect season defeating the host Université de Montréal Carabins 25-18, 25-22, 25-15 to win the best of three final 2-0. The Rouge et Or head to the CIS Nationals ranked number-one in Canada and with a 20-0 record.
There were a couple of incredible matches at McMaster University in Hamilton, as both Guelph and Queen's overcame 0-2 deficits to win their matches in five games. Guelph defeated McMaster 16-25, 25-27, 25-15, 25-21, 15-8 while Queen's took Western 26-28, 16-25, 25-23, 25-22, 15-12. The Guelph-Queen's final is tonight at 7 p.m.
The Canada West Final Four tournament gets underway today at the University of Alberta in Edmonton featuring Trinity Western University, the University of Calgary, the University of Alberta and Thompson River University.

Disappointing design
"I bought these boots for my four year old. When I first saw them, I was impressed with the quality. However, we just finally received our first snow and these boots performed terribly. The strap to close the boots is too low and allows snow to get on the child's leg. For the price I am terribly dissapointed. I would have been better off buying a pair at target and now I am stuck spending money on another pair. These are essentially useless in the snow."

I just purchased a neo-angle shower kit; the base appears to rest quite solidly when on a level floor.
Is it neccesary to lay down a bed of mortar prior to installing the base? Also, is it best to lay down the base on top of finished flooring or on an unfinished floor? This is to be installed in a basement bath, and I am having a plumber do the DWV system; once the rough-in is complete, I will cover with concrete and install the shower myself...

Thrashed in their season opener against the Waratahs, the Force will look to bounce back at home to the visiting Brumbies this Saturday.
Thrashed in their season opener against the Waratahs, the Force will look to bounce back at home to the visiting Brumbies this Saturday.
Scoring 21 points would be considered an achievement in Europe, but the Force let in six very soft tries away in Sydney to get their season off to shaky start.
And that's a shame, because if they can just begin to work together as a collective on the defensive side of the ball and commit themselves to missing less tackles, then the Force wouldn't be shy of causing upsets in 2014.
There are diamonds in the backline. Luke Morahan scored many a blockbuster try during his time in Queensland and has now been handed the keys to roam free at full-back. Kyle Godwin was one of the breakout Australian players of last season, and that's saying a lot when you consider the achievements of Leali'ifano, Speight, Tomane and Fardy.
Then of course there's Nick Cummins. The Honey Badger's loyalty to the Force is admirable but just imagine what he could achieve at the Brumbies or Reds, or even over in Europe – where he will surely finish up after the next Rugby World Cup.
It's up to the Force's pack to set the tone. Hugh McMeniman, Ben McCalman and Matt Hodgson are no strangers to this level now, while Sam Wykes and Chris Alcock certainly have talent.
There just isn't enough collective spark though to seriously compete in the Australian Conference, let alone the competition, unless they can defend with enough effort and intelligence.
Their set-piece work seems steady enough, and that's great, but can they really take scalps like the Brumbies? Against the big carriers of the Waratahs, the Force just didn't appear to have enough size to compete. Now that's a worry.
Particularly when you take in the Brumbies group of forwards. Led by example through Stephen Moore, guys like Scott Fardy, Sam Carter, Ben Mowen and David Pocock all make metres and are intensely physical. That's with Fotu Auelua out injured.
Monday's review will have been tough on the Brumbies, who appeared to throw literally everything at the Reds in the dying stages last Saturday but couldn't get the job done, and at home as well.
That's a concern for a side that's looking to get back to the Super Rugby Final following last year's agony. Sure, the margin was only two points, but on the flipside of what was a big psychological boost for the Reds, the Brumbies will have no doubt been asking questions about where they want to go this season and know that those tight matches are fundamental.
Laurie Fisher and Stephen Larkham, the promoted coaching contingent, could do with a settling victory here in Perth and will be boosted by the return of Wallabies outside centre Tevita Kuridrani, who partners Pat McCabe in midfield.
Losing Joe Tomane is a pity as the afro'd Wallaby looked sharp against the Reds, but Speight on the opposite flank has enough fire in his feet to keep the Force guessing.
The front-row of Sio, Moore and Ben Alexander have a little bit to prove too after being outdone by the Reds during key scrums last weekend and should expect dominance upfront, with Pocock flourishing at the breakdown.
Prediction: If the Brumbies get enough front-foot ball, then this could get ugly, because the Force simply have to shore up the gaps and be more clicked on than last weekend. Brumbies by ten.
Western Force: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Patrick Dellit, 13 Junior Rasolea, 12 Kyle Godwin, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Alby Mathewson, 8 Ben McCalman, 7 Matt Hodgson (C), 6 Chris Alcock, 5 Hugh McMeniman, 4 Sam Wykes, 3 Kieran Longbottom, 2 Nathan Charles, 1 Tetera Faulkner.
Replacements: 16 Heath Tessmann, 17 Pek Cowan, 18 Ollie Hoskins, 19 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 20 Angus Cottrell, 21 Ian Prior, 22 Sias Ebersohn, 23 Jayden Hayward.
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Tevita Kuridrani, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Robbie Coleman, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Jarrad Butler, 7 David Pocock, 6 Ben Mowen, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Ben Alexander, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Scott Sio

|In response to Re: Multi-pump drainage system for basement clothes washer
What they are asking for is a duplex pump system. It is a bit, actually a lot, of overkill for a washing machine. A true, full blown, duplex system with the proper sized basin, not a makeshift one such as you are planning will cost in the neighborhood of 2,500-3,000 dollars. Plus installation.
: My wife and I have a house in Pasadena, CA with a small sub-basement currently housing a furnace and water heater. We are seeking to install our stacked washer/dryer in the basement to save space in the house and permit us more flexibility in remodeling our kitchen. The difficulty is that the main waste line for the house is just below the floor level, i.e., above the level of the sub-basement. I estimate that the vertical distance between the washer outlet and the drain line inlet is about 8 or 9 feet.
: I read the recent posts a few days back on a similar project (), but my local building department informs me that they will require the following:
: - a drain water storage tank sized to accommodate effluent from at least two wash loads (in other words, at least a 70 gallon tank since the manufacturer informs me that up to 35 gallons can be used in a single load including extra rinse cycles)
: - two redundant pumps to pump gray water from the tank up into the main drain line for our house
: - a check valve for each pump to prevent backflow
: 1) The least expensive tanks I have found are polyethylene - rated for 140 degrees F. I can certainly adjust my water heater thermostat to prevent going higher than this threshold. Can anyone foresee a problem with this tank material?
: 2) To avoid simultaneous activation of both pumps, I propose using two 115V automatic submersible pumps set at different levels within the tank - one close to the bottom and the other set higher. I propose adding a check valve at the outlet of each pump and then merging the streams downstream of the valves to a single waste injection line. I understand that I will need one vent / standpipe for the tank, and another standpipe for the sewer line connection. Can these vent lines be merged into a common standpipe?
: 3) I don't have very many attractive options for running a new standpipe. The best idea appears to be running the standpipe upward through my existing basement stairway corridor. Assuming that it will be secured to the wall behind a handrail (to prevent the standpipe from being damaged by someone using stairs), does anyone see any problems with this idea?
: 4) I am concerned about proper pump sizing. Obviuosly, I will need enough head and flow capacity to elevate the drain water nearly ten feet, but I don't want a large pump to be starting and stopping too often since I expect that would shorten its life. Most submersible pumps I have found, however, are 1/4 horsepower and up. One model that looks promising is available at http://www.aquamasters.com/smartpum.htm but I am certainly open to recommendations for other pumps. (For sizing purposes, it seems to me that a pump capable of flowing between 1 - 2 GPM at 10 ft of head should be sufficient, given that a 35 gallon wash cycle lasts about 30 minutes, for a net gray water generation rate of 1.17 gallons per minute.) Electronic actuation, rather than float actuation, looks more attractive to me due to potentially higher reliability.
: 5) I assume that ABS plastic pipe will be acceptable for connecting the various components. If there are other economical alternatives, however, please let me know.
: 6) I don't yet know where to find appropriate check valves. Any input would be appreciated.
: 7) I would like to place the tank and pumping components underneath my existing basement stairs to keep them out of the way. However, that placement provides a volume limitation. Does anyone see any problem with using a horizontal free standing leg tank such as item no. 8810 available at: http://www.usplastic.com ? (Cost is about $125)
: Another possibly more attractive option would be to use a rectangular open top tank with lid. That would allow easy access to the tank and submersible pumps.
: 8) Finally, if someone can recommend inexpensive sources for finding any or all of the parts I will need, any input is appreciated.
: Sorry for such a long post!
: Thanks in advance,

The goal of cabin 20's meticulous restoration was not only to bring back its original character, but to enhance it. It was restored to assure your stay will be a unique experience.
Great care was given to restore the original knotty pine paneling, doors, hardware, wood floors, kitchen cabinets, and any unique features that originated when they were built in the early 1950's. Their restoration included all new electric, plumbing, heating and air-conditioning.
The living area highlighted by the original wood burning fireplaces constructed with Lyons sandstone. The sandstone came from the local quarries in Lyons and is the same sandstone that makes up the red cliffs at the top of the Stone Mountain Lodge property.
The wood floors and knotty pine paneling provide the hominess of a cabin, enhanced with more elegant furnishings than you might expect. The brass chandelier at the entry has a dimmer, so go ahead and set a romantic mood if you desire. A wood fire or lit candles in the fireplace add to your peace and tranquility.
The kitchen is restored using its original hand crafted knotty pine cabinets. The sink and base cabinet was refinished with a fresh and unique color scheme. There is modern refrigerator and gas range with an oven. The kitchens are stocked with coffee makers, microwaves and all the necessary kitchenware.
Access to the sleeping loft is via a custom designed, hand crafted captain's ladder. It is quite easy to climb. The loft has a pale blue ceiling representing the sky, a deep green carpet of lush grass, and the woodsy feel of knotty pine paneling.
When you look out the window, you could feel like you're in a tree house. Both grown-ups and kids find the sleeping loft to be fun and unique!
The sleeping loft is larger than you might expect. The highest part of the ceiling is about 5-1/2 feet. The loft partially overlooks the living room, yet the queen bed is set back providing quite a bit of privacy. There is a comfy chairs for relaxing, reading and looking out at the scenery.
The bath room was completely restored with an art deco flare that keeps to the 1950's flavor. there is a full bath and a pedestal sink. Each bathroom has it's own design using black and white bath and floor tiles and two tone paint.

|In response to Re: help, outdoor hose bib leak
It is likely the drip is preventing the pipe from freezing, and if you put the hose and noozle on and stop it from dripping, it will likely freeze and possible brust. Insulating will not help. Insulation does not generate heat, it only helps retain it. Is there a big problem with just letting it drip until you can fix it? If possible, open it and let it do more than drip.

It's still not over, now theres a Tsunami warnings. Hope people can find a safe place to stay.
yeah totally not good
its really sad and really not good the us has already started mobilizing the military stationed on japan so at least we are starting to help as much as we can.
here fox coverage
Holyshit! I hope my peeps from Japan alright man! Like dot.com mention yeah we got some members in the forums living there too. Xioaxiao resides in the navy branch hopefully his boat didnt capsize along with other ones. This is crazy I'm going to Hawaii in the Summer hope it's still there or at least nothing happens when we get there. Yo the live coverage of the Tsunami , damn nature you scary.
Is the wave still rolling by? Like Estimated time when it will hit Hawaii ? West Coast? Australia and so on?
Breaking News: Magnitude 6.6 earthquake strikes central Japan.
@ FM: Check this man, a computer generated image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the projected travel times of the tsunami.
Be safe always people!
What's up Motherf*ckers?!...
Yo that's crazy, but wasn't the earth Quake a 8.9? When did this Earth Quake happen around the time Roku posted this thread? If so I'm guessing the waves have already hit hawaii and either hit West Coast already or about too? Would the Tsunami pick up after a long distance or would they decline in power?
Hawaii is already feeling the effects but the highest wave was about 2.8m. Some large waves are happening on the US coast but no casualties so far since they had enough time to put evacuation measures in place.
*sighs* This is so surreal.

@ FM The 6.6 just happened man. I quote this from Yahoo news.
About the Nuke Reactor:Magnitude 6.6 earthquake hits northwest Japan: report
TOKYO (Reuters) – A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 struck northwestern Japan on Saturday after a massive quake hit northeastern Japan, NHK reported.
Japan scrambles to avert radiation crisis at nuclear plant
(Reuters) - Thousands of residents were evacuated from an area around a nuclear plant in quake-hit Japan after radiation levels rose in the reactor, but there was no word on whether there had actually been a leak.
Underscoring grave concerns about the Fukushima plant some 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. air force had delivered coolant to avert a rise in the temperature of the facility's nuclear rods.
Tokyo Electric Power Co said pressure inside a reactor at its Fukushima-Daiichi plant rose after the cooling system was knocked out by the earthquake, the largest on record in Japan.
Kyodo news agency quoted the company as saying that the radiation level was rising in the turbine building and the pressure had risen to 1.5 times the designed capacity.
Experts said there could be leakage if water levels in the Fukushima reactor fell and the temperature of the nuclear rods rose, though this might not happen immediately.
What's up Motherf*ckers?!...

It's that time of year again: bags are packed, students are excited, parents are wondering how quiet their homes are going to be in a few weeks, and roommates are already getting to know each other on Facebook. The fall semester at Denison is about to start, and along with returning students, the college is geared up to welcome the newest Denisonians, the Class of 2014.
"This is another talented and diverse group of first-year students," says Perry Robinson, vice president and director of admission. "Denison is the first-choice college for a growing number of outstanding students from around the country and overseas. We are particularly excited that this class is the most diverse in the college's history, with 30 percent being multicultural students."
By the Numbers
Members of the Class of 2014 hail from 39 states and 20 foreign countries and more than 80 percent graduated from secondary school with distinguished academic honors. Twelve percent are first-generation college students, and more than 80 percent graduated in the upper fifth of their class. In addition, this class includes 12 National Merit finalists. The average SAT composite score for the class is nearly 1300 and the average ACT composite score is 28, an all-time high. And the average GPA for the entire class is above 3.5.
Denison's Class of 2014 is impressive outside the classroom as well, with 21 class presidents, 512 athletes (including 116 who earned all-state recognition), 146 musicians, 413 who were involved in school-related clubs, and eight Eagle Scouts. More than two-thirds have participated in significant community service projects, and more than three-quarters have held full- or part-time jobs through the school year.
Off to a Great Start
To help prepare the incoming class, Denison holds several orientation programs during the summer. Along with a June session and the general three-day orientation held just before the start of fall semester classes, Denison also offers pre-orientation programs for students with specific interests:
- International Student Pre-Orientation, for international students and U.S. students who have been living abroad;
- Paving the Way Pre-Orientation is open to all entering students and is specifically designed to assist those in traditionally under-represented student populations, and includes programming that continues throughout the academic year;
- Denison Outdoor Pre-Orientation is an opportunity for 48 new students to transition to college life and form friendships while hiking and camping in West Virginia's Otter Wilderness Area.
- Denison Service Pre-Orientation is an intensive direct-service experience, with 24 students spending several days in Washington, D.C., working on issues related to homelessness, hunger, and health.
- Denison Experience in Urban Culture and Expression (DEUCE) is a chance for 24 new students to experience the arts in Philadelphia, interacting with artists, and creating their own art in response.

Skip to comments.New Pope- enemy of Catholic tradition
Posted on 03/13/2013 2:37:12 PM PDT by Gillibrand
"I live in Buenos Aires. Bergoglio has destroyed the archdioceses, persecuting every single orthodox priest.
(Excerpt) Read more at cathcon.blogspot.com ...
And the lies begin...Satan is already at work against our new Pope.
The source at that link is to a comment on a blog post. LOL, yep, that's legit.
New Pope Francis called homosexual marriage a machination of the Father of Lies
He's very Orthodox.
Gossip and innuendo on the internet.
Humble, loyal "Catholics" taking to the web to badmouth and denigrate a Pope minutes after he is elected.
But, if "Antonio" from an anonymous blog says it, it must be true.
Now now let's not talk about Satan. Obama hasn't said anything yet.
Oh, brother. What a load of garbanzo beans.
The long knives are out already.
Francis should tell them all to take a flying leap...into Hell!
Hah! He better keep his flappin' lips shut about the Pope.
Said homosexual marriage does not and will not exist in the Catholic church.
Said no pro abortion people will receive communion...sounds all pretty orthodox to me.
That took what - two hours at most? - for the naysayers to come out.
I present for your discernment, a blog pimp, which in this case I prefer his excerpt rather than stinking the place up with the entirety of his rubbish.
Second pimp thread posted by him, too.
I'm really not liking this pimp.
So I guess you're not too wild about Pope Francis?
Can you explain what 'bearing false witness' means?
They were already disparaging the Holy See. The tail end of one commentator brought questions of Human Rights violations in Argentina pretty much just because he was there.
They was more upbeat at the moment, stating, "If he's clean, this is a historic moment!"
Beg your pardon? "If he's clean?" I'm sure he freshened up a little before stepping out on the balcony.
This thread needs to be removed.
The long knives come out already. *sigh*
"Clean"? talking about the internal issues of the catholic church (scandals)? Who knows... only God. So is he just Pope Francis or is he the first, second, etc? Ever been one named that before? Guess this blows the whole malachy prophecy apart?
If he is the enemy of catholic tradition, then he may be the friend of Yeshua's inerrant word.
Let's wait and see who he is; any hard guessing now is shaky at best.
The page at that link is so full of garbage that it can't even load.
Has a typical posting history and M.O.
What happens if Plugs Biden attends a Mass with the delegation to Rome.
Good question.
"Oh, brother. What a load of garbanzo beans."
That will be interesting to see. I hope the Church stands firm and a lot of cameras are around.
"What happens if Plugs Biden attends a Mass with the delegation to Rome."
The dome of St. Peter's will fall off.
Sounds like he just followed the policies of his predecessors, and you can interpret that in various ways: glass half-empty or glass half-full.
Check out the links at the bottom left corner of that website. All anti-Catholic conspiracy crap (priests worshiping spiders, gay Catholics, comparing the Church to the antiChrist, etc).
Looks to be a site trying to mask itself as a Catholic site giving lip service to preserving tradition but it just traffics in the old conspiracy theories and other crap.
On the other hand, he's already being accused on Philly TV of being "anti-gay"......
If he is attracting this much negative attention from unnamed unlabeled sources then he must be doing something right.
Just trash talking or simply talking trash?
It's hard to tell from this angle.
"This thread needs to be removed."
New Pope Francis called homosexual marriage a machination of the Father of Lies
He's very Orthodox.
What? Somebody is "very Orthodox" because he opposes gay marriage? There are tons of Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims who do that. Are they now "orthodox" Christians because of that? I hardly think so. People, stop acting like Christian orthodoxy is defined by nothing more than opposing abortion and gay marriage. There is a bit more to the faith than that.
BTW, I have no knowledge of anything in regards to Pope Francis and his orthodoxy. For all I know he is spectacular, and I fervently pray he is and will be.
You're English. Nuf ced.
I'm Anglican and not Catholic and I think the OP is full of it.
It appears he means that the SSPX sect or perhaps the sedevacantist schism are the Roman orthodox.
'He despises sacrality, and has de facto prohibited the application of Summorum Pontificum. He is an utter enemy of Tradition, ill-minded, almost maffiosi."
Summorum Pontificum"... The document specified the circumstances in which priests of the Latin Church may celebrate Mass according to the "Missal promulgated by John XXIII in 1962" (the form known as the Tridentine Mass), and administer most of the sacraments in the form used before the liturgical reforms that followed the Second Vatican Council. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summorum_Pontificum
I'm sure glad that THIS has been explained!
Do they speak Latin in Latin America?
The first few moments of this video sounded like Hoosier speak!
Doesn't matter, the internet's full of crap like this, and he'll post every one.
"What? Somebody is "very Orthodox" because he opposes gay marriage? There are tons of Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims who do that."
There are child abusers among them as well but do they get the attention the the CC gets? No, because they're not in the media's cross-hairs.
Agree, we don't know yet how Orthodox he is but taking on the president of Argentine publicly on homosexual marriage and inadvertently calling them followers of the Father of Lies is an indicator.
It's an ugly sickness...
Agree, we dont know yet how Orthodox he is but taking on the president of Argentine publicly on homosexual marriage and inadvertently calling them followers of the Father of Lies is an indicator.
Well, I will certainly agree it is an indicator of his boldness, which is very good, and his orthodoxy on that particular position. I just don't go in for the new Christian model of orthodoxy which defines the entirety of the faith in regards to one or two very controversial issues. To be orthodox means more than merely opposing abortion and gay marriage. These are important moral issues, but they don't comprise the Christian faith.

Pesach List
VEGETABLESIt is customary not to eat rice, maize (sweet corn) and leguminous (pulse) vegetables such as all beans and peas (including string beans) because of their similarity to the five grains (wheat, barley, oats, rye and spelt) which are actual chametz. These are called KITNIYOT (This custom is not widely practised amongst Sephardim - ask your rabbi for guidance. See Kitniyot section). Fresh raw vegetables must be thoroughly checked for insects.

|In response to Re: P Trap Assembly
: For a bathroom sink installation I have 1-1/2 inch ABS coming out between two studs for the drain. I have trimmed the ABS as short as it can go from the wall and I have attached the adaptor to the ABS to accept the chrome wall tube. I want to attach a chrome P-Trap because it is a wall mounted sink and the hardware will be exposed. The sink drain is only about 5.5 inches from the finished wall. With a hacksaw, I have trimmed down the wall tube from 7-1/2 inches to about 4 inches (as short as I could get it) and still the vertical part of the j bend is still not lined up with the bottom of the drain (It is an inch further out). Is it ok to turn the P Trap sideways? (Although, this looks funny). What are my other options. Do they make a special "low clearance" p trap assembly?
Have you considered a J trap 11/2" as some codes do not allow the use of 11/4 traps

How Do I Qualify For Financial Aid?
Federal Financial Aid Eligibility
To find out if you qualify for federal student aid you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and demonstrate financial need. The results of your FAFSA are used by the Financial Aid Office to determine your eligibility. If the EXPECTED FAMILY CONTRIBUTION (EFC) is less than the COST OF ATTENDANCE (COA) established by the college, the difference is your NEED, which is used to determine your eligibility for most financial aid programs.
2015-2016 GCC Standard Student Budgets
2016-2017 GCC Standard Student Budgets (below)
The COA at GCC is based on federal guidelines and includes tuition & fees, room, board (meals), transportation, books, supplies and miscellaneous expenses. Other eligibility criteria, enrollment status and funding limitations determine how much a student may receive.
Living with Parent (9mos):
$1,256 - Fees (per sem; $46/unit Enrollment fee x13 units*/sem +$18 Health+ $12 Stud. Serv)
1,792 - Books & Supplies - CSAC budget amount
4,968 - Room & Board - CSAC budget amount
3,178 - Misc. Expenses - CSAC budget amount
1,108 - Transportation - No change from 2010-2011
$12,302 - Total
Living away from Parents (9mos):
$1,256 - Fees (per sem; $46/unit Enrollment fee x13 units*/sem +$18 Health+ $12 Stud. Serv)
1,792 - Books & Supplies - CSAC budget amount
12,492 - Room & Board - CSAC budget amount
2,916 - Misc. Expenses - CSAC budget amount
1,242 - Transportation - No change from 2010-2011
$19,698 - Total
In addition, you must meet the other following general eligibility criteria:
Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOG)
You may complete the GCC BOG Application form to determine if you qualify for BOG A or BOG B. If you do not qualify for BOG A or BOG B, the Financial Aid Office can use the results of your FAFSA to determine if you qualify for BOG C.
Cal Grant
For the 2016-2017 academic year, the deadline for applying for new Entitlement or Competitive Cal Grant is March 2, 2016. An additional deadline for a new Competitive Cal Grant for community college students only is September 2, 2016. For the 2017-2018 academic year, the deadline for applying for new Entitlement or Competitive Cal Grant is March 2, 2017. An additional deadline for a new Competitive Cal Grant for community college students only is September 2, 2017.
Entitlement Cal Grants are available to all graduating high school seniors who meet the GPA and family income and asset requirements and file their FAFSA and high school GPA Verification form (or their high school submits their GPA information electronically) by the March 2 deadline. Students who do not meet these criteria should apply for a Competitive Cal Grant
Students who file a FAFSA and a GPA Verification form (or their school submits their GPA information electronically) by the March 2nd deadline will be considered in the first round of the Competitive Cal Grant awarding process. Students who file a FAFSA and GPA Verification form by the March 2nd and/or September 2nd deadline and are enrolled in a community college for the Fall 2016 semester will be considered in the second round of the Competitive Cal Grant awarding process. GPAs for GCC students who have completed at least 16 degree applicable units at GCC will be sent electronically to the California Student Aid Commission. All other students may need to have a GPA Verification form completed by their Academic Counselor and submitted by the deadline.
EOPS Book Grants
EOPS Book Grants and other assistance is available through the EOPS Office. Contact the Extended Opportunity Program and Services Office for more information about the services they provide.
back to top
Forms, Forms, Forms...
Based on the information on your FAFSA, we may ask you to provide additional information (i.e. residency documentation or Social Security card). In addition the U.S. Department of Education selects applicants for a process called verification. If your file is selected we will ask you to provide copies of tax returns and to complete some additional forms. It is the responsibility of the Financial Aid Office to administer federal funds according to the law and to ensure that only eligible students receive these funds. Therefore, we reserve the right to request documents and other information that will provide the data necessary to accurately determine student eligibility. Many forms can be printed directly from our website. Check out our Required Forms & Documents page for the BOG application, printable forms, and other commonly requested documents.
How Am I Notified?
Once your financial aid file is considered complete, including any necessary corrections, an advisor will review your information and calculate the appropriate aid awards you qualify for at GCC. Once this is done you will receive an Aid Award Notification via email directing you to MyGCC to review your awards.
Students who apply for a BOG Fee Waiver will receive a separate email indicating their eligibility, or they will receive an Aid Award Notification email stating their BOG eligibility.
BOG Fee Waiver
This is a waiver of fees, not an actual cash payment that you receive as a check. However, students who pay their fees prior to receiving a BOG will receive a refund from the Tuition Office.
Pell Grant, SEOG, Cal Grant, Student Success Grant
Federal and State grant funds are disbursed to you in the form of a check that is mailed to you according to the disbursement schedule referred to in your award notification email (see Disbursement Information). After the first disbursement date of the semester checks are issued on a weekly basis for late awards and award adjustments.
Federal Work-Study (FWS)
The FWS award on your award letter indicates that you are eligible for FWS and the maximum amount you may earn. The amount you actually receive will be based on the number of hours you work and your hourly rate of pay. Job opportunities, time sheets, and payroll information are available from Student Employment Services.
Student and Parent Loans
Once you meet all loan application requirements your information is electronically forwarded to the Department of Education (DOE). Then the DOE will electronically process the loan and send the monies to GCC. After verifying your eligibility to receive funds, the check is then mailed to you by the Tuition Office.
Scholarship Checks
Scholarships received by outside agencies are mailed to you by the Scholarship Office.
Real Estate Scholarship Checks
This scholarship's checks are mailed to students by the Financial Aid Office once we receive the necessary state funding each semester.
Americorps Checks
Submit your Americorps voucher to the Financial Aid Office. The voucher is processed and forwarded to the National Service Trust Corps in Washington, DC. Checks, when received, are mailed to students by the Tuition Office.

Brittany Hansen, 7, of Cleveland, went to Hair Clinic in Castle Dale on Aug. 19. She had her hair cut specifically to donate to Locks of Love. Monica Eley did the measuring and cutting of Brittany's hair.
Brittany had her hair trimmed last year, and the stylist mentioned that if she had taken one more inch it would have been enough to donate. This made Brittany curious about Locks of Love. She began to consider donating, and made the decision that when her hair was long enough again, she would cut it and donate it to them. Locks of Love is a non profit organization that makes hair pieces from donated human hair to provide for children and adults who are undergoing medical treatment that may make them lose their hair.
Brittany will be entering the second grade at Cleveland Elementary in Sherrie McMullin's class. She is the daughter of Monica and Bryant Hansen.

text: The RESPECT Program: Will Its Selectivity Increase Teacher Effectiveness? Feb 23, 2012 by Alexis Mattera We've all had at least one teacher that has impacted our lives in a positive way. Whether their passion for the subject they were teaching led you down a new educational path or the skills they imparted are still ones you use today, more educators like that are needed and a newly-funded program may make that possible. The Obama administration showed its support in increasing teacher effectiveness with a budget proposal for a $5 billion grant competition to reward states and districts in a variety of ways including making teacher education programs as selective as their law, medical and business counterparts. While the Department of Education has not revealed full details about the endeavor known as the RESPECT Program, some colleges fear some of the requirements may actually negate the anticipated outcome: The feeling is that exemplary high school grades and standardized test scores are not the only traits that make great teachers and increased selectivity could exclude many students – adult students looking for career changes or students from disadvantaged backgrounds, for example – who could excel at teaching. "We're in education because we believe that education matters, and that people can grow and learn given the right experiences," Virginia McLaughlin, dean of the School of Education at the College of William and Mary, told Inside Higher Ed. She continued to explain that future teachers should be evaluated regularly and judged on their progress, including how well they master both knowledge of the subjects they will teach and the techniques they will use in the classroom. Do you think the RESPECT Program will produce better teachers or could it keep some of the most capable would-be educators out of the classroom?And don't forget, you should pay for your college education with as much free money as possible! Find as many scholarships and grants as you can before turning to student loans. Visit the Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today where you'll get matched with countless scholarships and grants for which you qualify, then apply and win! It's that easy!

Welcome to the KIDS LOVE BOOKS! blog! My name is Angela Morris and I am the Children's Services Manager for North Central Regional Library. I hope to keep everyone up to date on the newest books for kids and also offer reminders for those great classics and hidden gems. One of the early literacy skills that our branch librarians promote to parents and kids is "Book Appreciation". I think this is the most important of the early literacy skills because it means that we are working hard to make sure that reading is fun for kids. We want kids to laugh, ask all kinds of questions and really become engaged when we read to them. If we want kids to love reading time we have to provide wonderful books - and we've got them at your local public library.
One author that seems to hit a home run with every picture book he writes is Mo Willems. He is a former writer and animator for Sesame Street and if you aren't familiar with his books, they are often funny on several different levels - so both you and your child will laugh. One of his best series is the Elephant and Piggie books: I Broke My Trunk!, We Are In a Book!, and Can I Play too? (this one involves a bit of black humor - Elephant and Piggie's friend Snake wants to play catch with them and they have to get very creative to find a solution for the fact that he has no arms or hands). The newest book out is Should I Share My Ice Cream which is a dilemma we have all experienced!
Mo Willems also wrote the series about Knuffle Bunny - a worn, rather shabby, but well-loved stuffed bunny. We can all relate to the experience of loving a toy so much that they cease to be inanimate objects; instead they are objects of love.
Mo Willems won the Theodor Seuss Geisel award for the Elelphant and Piggie books in 2008 and 2009 and three of his books have won Caldecott honors. You can find out more about Mo Willems at his website at http://www.mowillems.com/ and to find his books go to your local public library or request books from the NCRL catalog at http://www.ncrl.org/.
I would love to get your comments on great books for kids - what are your favorites? what are your kids reading right now? We all want our kids to excel at reading and the best way to do that is to find that perfect book for them, so let's talk!

Just a little question, which slot should the level we make take? Should they all be map 01?
Memfis said:
Well, I guess these 3 animations from D2INO (brown and blue bfall/sfall + better lava texture) would be enough. And by different versions I meant that for example Plutonia's waterfall is brighter than Requiem's one. :)

I just updated the OP saying that if people want to use new animated textures/flats and/or switches they can either include the ANIMATED or SWITCHES lumps in their wad, or replace one of the original animated/switch textures/flats and we'll sort it out at the end of 2013.

not to use map07 or map30 slots
Kate said:
...Except you don't specifically need a MAP30 slot to make an Icon of Sin. The IoS ends the current level when he dies, automatically advancing you to the next one, so your map doesn't necessarily need to be the final map for it to really matter in some way if you're using him as long as he's at the end of the map, for the reason I stated above.
The only thing I could see using the MAP30 special slot for is for a map which relies on monsters being able to telefrag you, which is kind of lame anyway.

That's the thing: there needs to be telefragging or I risk the monsters getting stuck together. This doesn't happen that much in ZDoom, but considering my map is for Boom I want to avoid any stuff-ups. I guess I can use the map for some other project but it does mean I need to rethink what I'll make for this, and I really wanted to do an Icon for this. :(

As an 'X', I'm not super-thrilled about that. I'd rather see some sort o' chronological-ish progression similar to what 32in24 does for its pre-release builds.
I say this though mostly because Stove Pipe is still MAP01 in my head.

Memfis said:
I think alphabetic order is better. With chronological order there probably will be more big/complicated maps towards the end since they will take longer to make and will be submitted later. With alphabetic order the distribution will be more even, which is cool IMO.
Xaser said:
The more I think about it though, I guess I'm less bothered about the 'X' placement but more the fact that I cranked out a map rather quickly for the express purpose of it being MAP01. So welp. :P

With the steady increase of fees and deterioration of the quality of graduates, many people ask the question "Is higher education functional?". Some community members complain about unreasonably high prices charged by universities. In the meanwhile, graduate unemployment has become a worrying issue.
There have been growing concerns over the schooling system in U.S and Europe. Today, higher education is not enough to prepare young people for work. Two decades ago, the University diploma did really guaranteed that one can earn high income in his lifetime. Recently, only those who have obtained a master's degree tend to earn more. The extra-university qualification is for those who already have a bachelor degree, or for people who have work experience.
According to a U.S nationwide survey, millions of young Americans have graduated from college but are not able to find work. Some enrolled in college but quit without completing a degree.
What is the reasons for the "disfunctional" higher education? In fact most of the students cannot afford the fees. They are obliged to pay off their higher education until their 40s. Teachers and experts claim that the system of financing higher education has to be changed in order to allow many more people to to get a University Diploma. The increasing demand for highly skilled employees leads to the importance of providing a high level of education. Still, the fact is that higher education has paid off well for a great part of the students. During their working life, employees with a university diploma earn more than non-graduates. Universities and colleges still provide students with academic degree with innovative knowledge and employable skills they need to succeed after graduation. Higher education graduates are more likely to find job than young people with lower educational degree.
So, coming back to the question "Is higher education functional or disfunctional ?" The education could be essential if provides capabilities that young people require to be innovative and economically productive.

Oh hello there. Were you looking for viral videos of cats wearing pyjamas and got lost? Welcome to TheLeafsNation.com instead friend. Sit down and stay a minute won't you?
You might be wondering what it is you are looking at here. Is it a trick? Is it a joke? Is it a phishing site designed to pry your credit card numbers way from you to later commit identity theft?
No, no and no.
TheLeafsNation is the fourth child in a growing family of Canadian hockey websites called the Nation Network. The eldest in the clan is OilersNation.com which launched back in 2007. It was followed a couple of years later by FlamesNation.ca which is coming along quite nicely and poor old CanucksArmy.com which can't seem to catch the attention of anyone but tries so hard it breaks your heart.
In the finest tradition of settlers to the New World who couldn't take pioneer living, we are also headed East and are proud to launch TheLeafsNation.com.
Not really. At the Nation Network we pride ourselves on working with the best bloggers in the business. But we also take it a step further to recruit some of the biggest names in sports media covering each of our Canadian teams. Sports radio hosts, newspaper folks. Real media types with press passes and access and inside information like "breaking news: the backup goalie will be starting in goal tonight."
Shattering inside scoops that we have been breaking regularly in Edmonton and Calgary for almost three years.
In the coming weeks we will be introducing TheLeafsNation team one by one. We hope that you will come to enjoy TheLeafsNation as much as we will all enjoy writing it for you.
Clearly an Oilers fan calling himself "Wanye" isn't about to preach about the Leafs to a bunch of rabid fans. That would be about as legitimate as that honorary PHD Paris Hilton was given by Brown University back in 2006.
No, just think of us as that zany Cousin you see only at family events and holidays. You know, the guy who tells a story that goes nowhere, eats most of the chips and dip and is later considered the prime suspect in the disappearance of your Aunt's purse.
With a little luck, something awesome. Enjoy the 2010-11 Season.
Well I'll be damned. I'm glad I had to stay home with my kids tonight and happened to see this posted on the other site.
October 09 2010, 10:57PM
Good lord! I guess with Wayne's imperial ambitions this was one of the ultimate steps. If there's anything the Leafs/Teachers are all about its shilling yourself out to make a buck. This could be a perfect fit.
Still, it kinda of feels like Master Yoda must be grabbing at his chest right now fighting back the tears.
October 09 2010, 11:11PM
Abandon hope all yee whom enter here.
Just got home, watching the 3rd period of the Leafs/Sens replay... a few nice tilts. Colton Orr's a beast. At least having to watch Leafs games EVERY Saturday night this winter might be entertaining.
Then again, I've always liked Brian Burke teams. But I've also hated the Leafs since the late 90's. But I did love the Leafs of the mid-90's - Pat Burns, Doug Gilmour, Mathie Schnieder, Felix Potvin (chemmy?) - them were the days... until that damn Gretzky went and ruined everything! Anyways...
Congrats all around!

Adding MachinesFull-Keyboard – Hill to Felt & Tarrant
In the mid-19th century, the Unitarian minister, mathematician and inventor Thomas Hill envisioned an adding machine that would have a column of keys for each digit entered. Hill took out a U.S. Patent for the device, but it never became a practical product.
Almost thirty years later, Chicago machinist Dorr E. Felt (1862-1930) decided to design an improved adding machine for accountants. Like Victor Schilt, he was interested in adding machines with keys, but he wanted to add larger numbers and to add them quickly. To do this, he devised a machine with several columns of keys. In each column, the keys were numbered from 1 to 9. The column as a whole represented one digit of a number. Felt first made a crude model using a macaroni box from a local grocer, with meat skewers for key stems and rubber bands for screws. He built several prototypes of the machine, and named it the Comptometer. Felt also soon built a printing version of the machine, which he called the Comptograph. It never sold widely.
On Felt's Comptometer, pushing a key not only set up a digit, but entered it into the mechanism. Felt carefully cultivated customers, and won the financial support of Robert Tarrant as well as orders from government offices, businesses, and scientific observatories. Felt & Tarrant Manufacturing Company sent its products overseas as well as across the country. It built special Comptometers for adding fractions and non-decimal currency, and steadily improved, but did not radically alter, the product. Felt & Tarrant used some of its profits to acquire adding machines of historic interest.
Felt died in 1930. After considerable debate, descendents of Felt and Tarrant decided to take the firm public in 1946, taking the name Comptometer Corporation. The postwar years proved difficult, especially for foreign sales. In 1961, the firm merged with the Victor Adding Machine Company of Chicago to form Victor Comptometer Corporation. The products of this company looked quite different from those of Felt & Tarrant, as they were ten-key, printing machines. Not long thereafter, Victor Comptometer donated Felt's collection of historically important machines to the Smithsonian.

Do you prefer your partner shaved or not shaved in their nether regions?
It would be nice just to have a partner:(ReplyCancel
Not.who wants to see bald balls?ReplyCancel
I dont care. As long im enjoying it down thereReplyCancel
Not that balls are hairy. Yall know what I mean.ReplyCancel
Hard wood floors, may be a throw rug from time to time, but hole to hole carpet only occasionally in the winter.ReplyCancel
I'm not sure I've ever seen full bush on my men or completely shaved. Oh yeah, I remember a shaved….that was good with me.
Trimmed or shaved – or it's a no go.
Grooming is definitely a must but full shave is just weird to me.ReplyCancel
Jesus, Enty!!!ReplyCancel
It is easier for chicks to shave smooth, cause they can wear thongs to soak up ass crack sweat.ReplyCancel
I will only mention that hairy backs and necks are a definite NO!
Y'all are banking too much on our fondness for the Count..
Hahahahaaa!!! WareCat, you crack me the fuck up!!ReplyCancel
neatly maintained: trimmed and shaved low.ReplyCancel
I think the preference either way is an age thing. In a lot of instances not always of course. My young friends prefer the bare path whereas women my age prefer the bear path (neatened up of course). I prefer men's with hair and girls neat. I blame Hefner for the whole damn baby girl pubis. Men seem to think the bldg looks bigger without any vegetation at the base. WRONG!ReplyCancel
For my own person…I like it bare as the day as I born…so much so I had it lasered so I can keep it that way.ReplyCancel
I like a full bush. I don't like feeling like I could be sucking off a preteen boy. I think men think they have to be smooth and shaved because they're brainwashed by porn.ReplyCancel
You gotta keep doing it, every other day if necessary.ReplyCancel
I used to trim the ex, it was fun cuz he was just a little scared of me with a sharp object near his private parts. It was true love.ReplyCancel
One of my exes, up and surprised me with a bare crotch. He was rather manly, so it seemed like a really strange move. Compounded with the fact that he was maybe average to small-ish, he looked like a large, naked child. So yeah, no – never bare. I want to erase that image from my brain.
Plus, isn't a guy who goes as far as to maintain his bikini line is probably more high-maintenance than I am.
You guys are cracking me up.
"Like sucking off a preteen boy" hahahahaha
Trim that shit, especially if its raging out of your butt holeReplyCancel
Natural. And spinning a class ring like a hula-hoop.ReplyCancel
Hahaha @beckymae! Perfect descriptionReplyCancel
I just have a landing strip but for my partner's I prefer they not bring back the 70's. Trimmed.ReplyCancel
Maintained, but not a full on shave for either men or women.ReplyCancel
