Tips in Potty Training
Start by buying a potty seat and take your child to the bathroom every time you go. I don't expect an 18 month old to "use" the potty but they will start talking about the potty. I call it "suggesting" potty training.
Read stories about the potty at this age. "Elmo goes to the potty", " Dora has a potty", anything that your child enjoys reading that discusses what we all do in the bathroom. You want them to understand that everyone goes to the potty!!
Once your child is showing signs of understanding going to the potty and is actually performing when you take them (not just sitting), it is time to get even more serious about potty training. Get out the star and sticker charts and I used a candy jar with M&M's as well. Start rewarding each success!! The more whoops, hollers and claps, the better.
After you know they are "getting it" real training starts which means they need to be wearing training pants. No pull-ups because children don't mind having an accident in a pull up. Then, take your child to the bathroom every couple of hours. Don't ask "do you need to potty?" Tell your child "It is time to potty!!". Make sure to reward each success!
For most children, it will take a few days to weeks before they are actually more trustworthy and they will let you know they need to go and you don't have to take them quite so often.
Once your child is interested start potty train them! If you miss the window of interest, it may be weeks or months for that window to re-appear and you do not want to miss out.

Ever heard a senior leader in your organization proclaim "Everyone's in sales!"? I have. In fact, it's a phrase I've heard a lot in the last three years from executives at conferences, industry events, client meetings and more. To me, it's right up there with "All hands on deck!" and "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" (only in a less evocative, corporate-speak kind of way).

KathyP Ma'am, I have looked all over this forum and I cannot find anything at all about a "removal section." I will add Duct tape to the list.Mr. Bush, that sounds like my kind of thinking, and of course just starting out I have no Queen Juice. I will have to get that in action sometime! It really started me thinking of the type of people who are attracted to this pastime, part science, part magic!
Mr. Bush, Will the Bee Boost and Lemon Grass oil trick lure them out of a tree or just when they are swarming in the air? If they are on a branch, how close does the "box" have to be?
Thank you JP. I feel like a dummy now, I didn't check the sub forum list. It looks as if I have a lot of reading to do. And a lot of thinking.Danno, I'm thinking I may be getting these bees on a bicycle, but I'm also thinking the 5 gallon bucket would make a good swarm cage. Two questions though:How do you thread the handle to the bottom of the container? My second guess is to attach it to the side.How much weight does this contraption hold?I've been following this practice with a "bootstrap" mentality, I suppose I should get out of this limiting box.

Sunday morning was a masterclass performance from The Arsenal and the supporters.
As usual I woke up and followed the game on my phone. I currently don't have the mental capacity to watch it live (as most of you know), but did catch it later in the day on replay. So my review is a combination of the emotion felt while following on my phone and later in the day pre-Oscars at a pub in Hollywood.
The first half was an amazing showcase of never-say-die, somewhat controlled passing and the will to deliver an effort that supporters would be proud of. Yes, we were blown apart at times in the first 35 minutes, but the last 10 minutes we turned a mental corner. We showed something that the manager of our great club had been saying about this team. Fight. Mental toughness. Desire.
It was an amazing display to end the first half. Our first coming from an unlikely source, but Sagna's positioning showed how much we wanted - and needed to get a goal before half time. Was it aggressive play? Absolutely. But you know what, it was Arsenal. It was a beautiful thumping header - which isn't Arsenal. It was an incredible relief to get what we deserved.
The second. Oh, the second goal. Do we really need to discuss? I think not. If you're not subscriber to Arsenal Player, you had best sign-up just so you have the opportunity to watch it over and over and over and over. And over. I'll be right back as I check it out one more time...
Now, by this time in the game it was closing in on 6:30am out here in Los Angeles. And yes, I was still following the game on my phone, in bed. There was a quiet confidence growing within me at the half, and no doubt it was seen and heard in the dressing room as well. And boy did that confidence show. Our passing was crisp, our recovery was sublime and our finishing was brilliant. Tomas had a beauty and Theo delivered two brilliantly-finished goals.
But I have to say, Song's pass to Theo was just as beautiful as the goal itself. I really love watching Song play this year. He's so in control. He's the keystone to our defensive play and I love knowing we have him holding the midfield and keeping the calm.
Now I've been proud. I've been joyful. And I've been excited. But man, to experience each of those emotions together has been a long time coming. Yes, Sunderland almost packaged them together, but this one was the NLD. A result that will forever be remembered.
And best of all, it will forever remembered by the Spurs fan that was watching the replay with me at the pub in Hollywood. We didn't speak except but for a simple "hello." But did I ever enjoy watching her go from elation to complete sadness.
Man, if I had only recorded her expressions on my phone.

FIFA publishes Garcia World Cups report after leak
ZURICH The global soccer body FIFA said on Tuesday it had decided to publish the Garcia report into the decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively.
PORTO VECCHIO, France Cadel Evans may seem to be past his prime after a mediocre season last year but the Australian still believes he can win another Tour de France despite Team Sky's domination.
Evans, the first Australian to win the Tour in 2011, could not repeat the feat in 2012 when he finished seventh overall behind BMC team mate and U.S. prospect Tejay van Garderen, who took fifth place.
Sky's Bradley Wiggins took the title but Evans is at pains to point out that his flop was mainly down to illness.
"There is some short-term memory from the media, I had a virus last year and I still was seventh in the Tour de France," the 36-year-old told Reuters at the Criterium International in Corsica.
"Of course on paper Tejay was better than me but people seem to forget what I have done on the Tour de France in the six years preceding 2012."
Evans, who also finished runner-up in 2007 and 2008, is determined to stay number one at BMC and have another tilt at a Tour triumph.
"If I'm not sick and everything goes according to plan, yes (I will be team leader). Like I said there seems to be a short-term memory thing in the media, I did actually win the Tour once before," he said.
"That does sort of prove that I can do it."
So far this season, Evans has taken third place in the Tour of Oman behind Sky's Chris Froome and Spaniard Alberto Contador but he was never in contention at Tirreno-Adriatico, finishing 22nd and almost 10 minutes adrift of Italian Vincenzo Nibali.
"This year, it has been a long build-up after a year being sick and ill and so on, and having a break and recovering from that, he said.
"I have to take each day as it comes and I have to be cautious with my progression and training throughout the year.
"Like last year I did not perform well in Tirreno but I came here (to Corsica) and surprised myself," he said referring to his overall win in 2012's two-day Criterium International.
Evans is well-known as a gritty rider who rarely gives up.
"I had a virus last year and it changes everything at this point compared to 2011," he explained, preferring to compare 2013 to 2011.
"I haven't won any races yet (this year) so in that regard I'm behind but it's a slow and steady progress towards the Tour."
On the Tour, which will start in Corsica on June 29 and will suit pure climbers, Evans is confident he and his team can compete with Sky, whose domination was almost total at times last year and has continued in the first few months of 2013.
"They seem to be very, very well prepared for the early part of the season with two whole teams of strong climbers and in the mountains at least they can dictate their own terms," said Evans.
Sky will go to the Tour looking to retain their title, either through Britain's Froome or compatriot Wiggins, who has though made the Giro d'Italia his main goal this season.
Both will be helped by a small army of pure climbers such as Colombians Rigoberto Uran and Sergio Henao or talented all-rounders such as Australian Richie Porte, the Paris-Nice champion.
"Normally, putting guys at such a high level in the early season means you're going to pay for it later in the year, that would be the normal case - time will tell in that regard," said Evans.
"For now they are going to be hard to beat, they're the guys to beat.
"Going towards the Tour it seems that if Sky are going to ride like in 2012, the more guys you have in the mountains the better you're going to be."

We are having a baby girl in November but have yet to decided on a first name. We're pretty sure the middle name will be Violet. Until now, the closest we've come to an agreement on a name was Sibyl Violet but I think that ship has sailed...
I love the name Djuna ("the D is silent") but my spouse is concerned that is sounds too "bohemian" for our taste. Our other two children have more conventional or popular names - Asher and Hazel.
Any thoughts or advice regarding this name, e.g. what immediately comes to mind, do you consider it feminine, etc. Also, if you have any words of encouragement/discouragement as to the name Sibyl, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Okay... I am down to the fine details. The gold spiky thing in the picture below:
I know this is a found item, but I don't know for sure what it is. The twist to the rows of spikes implies certain things, but I don't know exactly what. I've had suggestions for everything from a large-bore thread tap to a rock drill bit. If anyone on here recognizes this piece, or knows someone who might and would be nice enough to show them, I would appreciate it tremendously. Cross-post on other boards to get more brains involved. Whatever. Trying to solve a twenty-four-year-old mystery, and I'm all thunk out. I'm posting this everywhere I'm registered where prop-building geeks hang out.
Thanks in advance for any illumination anyone can provide.

When Robin Williams met Koko — they had a blast
As we grieve the loss of Robin Williams, a truly beloved actor and comedian, it seems fitting to share this video in which he shared a laugh with a famous gorilla.
Koko couldn't know how famous Williams was, but he sensed what a great guy he was meeting. You'll see.
A heartfelt thanks to the Gorilla Foundation (koko.org) in Northern California for sharing this.

Deerfly remedies help keep pesky NH insects from biting
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | July 14. 2013 9:20PM
It may not be fashionable, but a blue plastic cup covered with Tanglefoot and attached to a ball cap can attract and trap deerflies. (NANCY BEAN FOSTER PHOTO)
Aside from staying indoors, people can avoid bites from the flies by covering up and wearing long sleeves and pants, denying the bugs a place to eat. But on sweltering days it can be a toss-up as to whether melting or getting eaten is worse.
Twenty years ago, Dale Stieg, a Christmas tree farmer in Michigan, said the deerflies became too much for him to bear while out tending his trees so he started observing their behavior and thinking of a way to get back at them. He invented a double-stick deerfly patch that adheres to the back of a baseball cap.
After a day outdoors, the patch, and its collection of dead flies, can be peeled off and discarded.
For those who aren't slaves to fashion, there's a home-made deerfly trap that works on the same principle as the patches, but includes a ball cap, a blue plastic cup, a pair of safety pins or paper clips and a tub of sticky stuff called Tanglefoot.
"I've never found anything that works better," Witty said.

text: I attended a Sports Collectibles show this weekend in Houston. I had the honor of meeting Dan Reeves. He signed a mini helmet for me. A buddy hooked me up with a chance to meet Don Talbert, but I missed the opportunity to meet him cause I was delayed eating fajitas and tripas at one of Houston's best Mexican Restaurants. Don Talbert played for the Cowboys in the early 60s and 70s and was part of the SB VI team. He did leave an autographed picture for me though which I think was very nice of him even though he waited for me and my buddies for an hour till he finally had to leave.

Dear Friend,Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence.Please allow me to introduce myself.I am CAPTAIN [reacted], in 4th Battalion, 64th Armored Regiment unit here that Patrols the helmand province, Afghanistan. I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you.I am presently in Afghanistan and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $25m (Twenty five Million United States Dollars) to you,as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.SOURCE OF MONEY:Some money in US DOLLARS was discovered and concealed in barrels at a location in helman province when we conducted a foot patrol and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hellhole.The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a Canadian contact working with the UN here (his office enjoys some immunity) I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, who before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Afghanistan for you to pick up. I do not know how long I will remain here, as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavor to contact me immediately and we would work out the necessary formalities but I pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.Please reply to [redacted]Respectfully,Captain [redacted],United States Soldier:Afghanistan

I think versions of this have already been mentioned by one or more PPs, but I just received a call in which a live person launched into a spiel as soon as I answered: "hello! I am (guy's name) from emergency medical equipment, calling to confirm your shipment..." And I will never know what he was trying to get me to agree to receive/sign up for, or how the rest of the script went. I had been looking at eHell when the phone rang, this thread sprang to mind, I started laughing out loud (for realz) managed to say "you've got to be kidding" and hung up.

No return address on envelope or letter (there's an 866 number to call) but it was postmarked out of Arizona. I like the specificity of the prize amount, but the lack of enthusiasm?

I was able to get a used flight suit for next to nothing. The only issue is that it is a beige color and I need it to be a grey. Any suggestions?
If the suit went through a vinegar wash this may be difficult. I would try some color remover that I believe RIT sells. But you might try just detergent washing it and see if that helps any.
Find a product called RIT color remover, and pick up 2 packs of it. You can pick some up at Michael's craft stores or most any fabric store. Get yourself an enormous tub. Boil up a stock pot full of water (or several), and dump it in. Mix in enough cool water so that
1: there's about 5 or so gallons of water
2: the water temp is around 160-180 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dump in the color remover packs. Do the dumping in as close to the surface of the water as possible, so the chemical dust doesn't get into the air.
Immerse your flight suit and start mixing and churning it around in the water and dye remover bath with a disposable stick, such as a piece of scrap wood. Push the flightsuit left-right and forward-backward inside the tub with the stick. Do this for about 20 to 40 minutes.
Dispose of the color remover bath, and rinse out your flightsuit with cool water. Rinse it several times, until it stops smelling like the color remover.
Repeat this process with the gray color you want to dye the flight suit.
fantastic! thanks for the information

The American occupation of Japan left a legacy of democracy and a pacifist Constitution, but it also left thousands of mixed race children born to Japanese mothers and American fathers. Unfortunately, for the babies, most of the Americans headed home and left the child with a woman dealing with the postwar poverty which devastated her nation. Miki Sawada, in 1963 opened an orphanage for these children, many of whom were not only deserted by their fathers, but abandoned by their mothers. She encountered few, if any, American soldiers who wanted to assume any responsibility for the child they had fathered. In race conscious Japan, a child with western features invariably encountered prejudice at school or work.
One can only wonder if sixty years later, Japanese people continue to display such prejudice against children who are of Asian and Western parents? Hopefully, a Japan which is linked economically and politically with the world has become socially more democratic in being able to accept children who represent the best of two worlds.

'Residing all season long in the NHL's lowest-rent district with teams like Atlanta, Nashville, Columbus and Calgary, the Sabres are gradually emerging from the quagmire, having lost only once in 11 games since New Year's Eve. Welcoming back from injury a pair of key performers last night — forwards Jochen Hecht and Maxim Afinogenov — and supported by, dare we say, Dominik Hasek-like netminding from Martin Biron, the boys from the Queen City are making life difficult for a host of superior teams — a tag the Leafs can hardly claim in this town. Last night's loss dropped Toronto's lifetime mark here to an abysmal 18-41-6.'

Google v. Microsoft Lawsuits Wrap Up Under Cloak of Secrecy

Motorola expert witness claims Microsoft scored $94B USD using its patents without paying a dime
Google Inc. (
) and Microsoft Corp. (
) have had their say in
a patent case
playing out in
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington
Federal Judge James Robart
presided over the case, which wrapped up this week and is expected to give a ruling regarding licensing fees owed to Google by Microsoft and vice versa.
I. Motorola Expert: Microsoft Made $94B USD Using Moto's Patents
Attorneys for Google subsidiary Motorola Mobility and their expert witness Michael Dansky flew in to Microsoft's home state this week to give pivotal testimony.
Key parts of the testimony were delivered in a packed Washington state courtroom, which is open to reporters and the public. During his testimony, Mr. Dansky argued that Microsoft has garnered $94B USD in revenue from Xbox gaming consoles and the Surface tablets (both of which he says use, without proper license, wireless technology Motorola Mobility developed and patented).
Mr. Dansky, "You will have a difficult time selling smart phones or tablets [without Motorola Mobility's technology]."

Microsoft has alleged in past testimony that Motorola Mobility and its parent Google are
trying to price gouge it
when it comes to royalties. Microsoft argues that it should only be obligated to pay a low royalty rate for the mobile device maker's video and wireless patents -- around $0.02 USD per device. Microsoft says it should be allowed to charge Motorola
up to a 1,000x higher licensing rates
as its patents are not part of industry standards.
Judge Robart is set to rule on the Motorola royalties phase of the case, one of the most important parts, in the next several weeks, after both sides have had time to file some final briefs.
If the federal judge decides on a larger royalty, it could help Google justify the
$12.5B USD purchase cost
for the patent-rich, but struggling Android phonemaker, which it is
currently restructuring
. If the judge tosses out a lower royalty, it not only hurts Google's revenues directly, it also sets a precedent for lower royalty rates that other rivals like Apple, Inc. (
) could take advantage of in
future cases
Google is hoping the case helps it monetize its Motorola acquisition.

It is unclear if the judge will release the exact royalty figure to the public, given corporate secrecy concerns.
Both sides have been surprisingly cooperative in jointly supporting keeping details of Microsoft, Motorola Mobility, and their respective partners' licensing agreements out of the public eye. Legal scholars say supporting such an approach
is dangerous
as exposure is a major incentive to corporations to settle their patent differences out of court, rather than wasting taxpayer time.
Indeed, Judge Robart initially said before the trial that the information should be made public. However, this week the Judge reversed his own ruling, deciding that he was unable to order the sessions be made public due to appellate precedent. In other words, judges in higher courts have ruled that such secrecy is mandated in similar cases, so as a District Judge, Judge Robart was unable to defy the secrecy precedent without risking his own reputation.
II. Lawsuits, Junk Patents Swell
The last two years have seen a wild slew of lawsuits and trade complaints bandied about by three of the four leading powers in the smartphone industry -- Google, Microsoft, and Apple -- along with their OEM backers. Some signs -- such as Apple and HTC Corp.'s (
) recent licensing truce -- point to an easing of tensions.
However, the mobile operating system makers continue to file questionable software patents at a frenzied pace. One example: both Google and Apple filed patents on a
page turn animation
(Google filed for a utility patent, Apple for a design patent). Apple was actually granted the patent last week. However, countless examples of prior art exist.
Apple recently patented an animation of turning pages. [Image Source: USPTO]
For example, an Hewlett-Packard Comp. (
demo site
, which first went live in 2002 had a page turn animation that precisely resembles Apple's iPad animation, which it now "owns" rights to. Apple did not cite that earlier and identical work. But at the end of day one must ask -- how can someone patent how turning pages looks and works?
A similar principle applies to many of Google and Apple's recent patents, but the problem looks to only grow as they continue to bombard an overloaded
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
with new applications, hoping some squeak through the cracks.
"It looks like the iPhone 4 might be their Vista, and I'm okay with that." -- Microsoft COO Kevin Turner

When pregnancies are wanted by one partner but not the other, women are usually cast as the culpable party. In keeping with the gender training of romantic comedies and other harmless fluff, women in semi-tenuous relationships are seen as desperate to keep their man, any man, just so they won't be an old spinster. They will do anything to keep a man - even get pregnant accidentally on purpose. The woman who gets pregnant to keep a man is a sexist relationship boogeyman - I've never known or heard of any woman who would put their body through the serious hardship of pregnancy just to keep some loser who doesn't want to be with her.
This sexual scare tactic may be covering up something even grimmer and more malicious than just the construction of women as desperate harridans. Lynn Harris has posted a deeply thought-provoking article over at AlterNet on forced pregnancy as partner abuse:
But many violence and public-health experts agree that at least one major issue was, and has for too long remained, missing from that conversation. For girls like Janey, as you can see, partner violence doesn't show up in police photos as swollen bruises. Instead, the evidence might be their swollen, pregnant bellies.
Sexual coercion and "reproductive control," including contraceptive sabotage, are a common, and devastating, facet of dating and domestic abuse. A growing number of studies, experts and young women themselves are testifying to boyfriends demanding unprotected sex, lying about "pulling out," hiding or destroying birth control -- flushing pills down the toilet, say -- and preventing (or, in some cases, forcing) abortion.
The implications for young women's and public health are profound, among them unintended pregnancy, miscarriage and STDs, including HIV.
Go over. Read it.

Thanks for the help everyone. And thanks for your great site Michael, the Top Bar Hive I built was based on your Kenyan Top Bar Hive plans on your site... lots of awesome info there!I have an Aquaponics system where I am raising tilapia and plants... water is warm, has a nice smell to it, and I hear from lots of people that the bees really like water from their systems, so maybe I will run a drip pipe off it and give them a little pool to see if they don't just take that.Thanks again to all!
Great pic, BoBn!

It's been a month of newsworthy moves. First we heard that bar legend Murray Stenson was leaving his longtime bartending home, Zig Zag, to tend bar at RN74.
Now comes news that Patric Gabre-Kidan--the man who put the Book Bindery together, who talked chef Shaun McCrain into moving to Seattle, and who managed front-of-the-house for owners Sumi and Mike Almquist--has suddenly left the lauded restaurant.
Gabre-Kidan first made a name for himself as co-owner of three restaurants with Ethan Stowell; he helped to design and open Tavolata, How to Cook a Wolf and Anchovies & Olives. He then parted ways with Stowell in early 2010.
It was no surprise that he was quickly snatched up by the Almquists, who paid Gabre-Kidan to design and open Book Bindery. "They needed a little more help, not being restaurant folk, so I agreed to stay on as GM and get the place open and running. I called (chef) Shaun McCrain and got him to come on as chef (he's awesome) and did all the other stuff you need to do like websites, logos, menu designs etc."
Gabre-Kidan tells me he's pursuing his design career now, as that's where his heart is. "My addiction is building and opening restaurants," he told me. "And I had a really good run with Tavolata, How to Cook a Wolf, Anchovies & Olives and Book Bindery."
Gabre-Kidan worked with Method Construction on every detail of the Book Bindery (the company also worked with Gabre-Kidan on the buildout and design of Anchovies & Olives). "I could order light fixtures off the shelf or go pick some up at IKEA, but where's the challenge in that? The most proud I have been is with the results of Book Bindery. Every square inch of that place was custom. From the lighting to the upholstered banquette to the kitchen pass. I was happier than a pig in shit building that place."
It looks like he's moving in the right direction: he's already been hired on at Method Construction. Asked if he'd be moonlighting anywhere, he told me that at this point he wouldn't be, and that he'd miss the "hosting a dinner party every night" aspect of restaurant life. But he's a talented designer, and I, for one, can't wait to see what he puts together next.

So this has been driving me nuts for the past few years finding this pack frame. There was a good chance that it was an older Scott SCBA frame; I think we all kind of knew that. So I have been posting the only pic I had of this frame on a few firefighter boards that I belong to in hopes some old timer could give up some info.
Finally some one gave me an answer. Its a Scott Air-Pak IIA or Scott Air-Pak II with the demand only regulator from the 70s. He told me that he was trained on it when he started out in the fire service.
I cant confirm this because I cant find a single Scott Air-Pak II or IIA frame pic any where on the net. There are pics on EBay but not of the frame, just the entire system.
So theres a clue as to what model it could be.
BTW the pack frame from the MoM or AoSW exhibits is a Scott as well I just dont know what model it is.

text: By PAUL WISEMANWASHINGTON (AP) ⿿ U.S. consumers peering over the "fiscal cliff" don't like what they see. Fears of sharp tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect next week sent consumer confidence tumbling in December to its lowest level since August. The Conference Board said Thursday that its consumer confidence index fell for the second straight month in December to 65.1, down from 71.5 in November. The survey showed consumers' outlook for the next six months deteriorated to its lowest level since 2011 ⿿ a signal to Lynn Franco, the board's director of economic indicators, that consumers are worried about the tax hikes and spending cuts that take effect Jan. 1 if the White House and Congress can't reach a budget deal. Earlier this week a report showed consumers held back shopping this holiday season, another indication of their concerns about possible tax increases. The December drop in confidence "is obvious confirmation that a sudden and serious deterioration in hopes for the future took place in December ⿿ presumably reflecting concern about imminent 'fiscal cliff' tax increases," said Pierre Ellis, an economist with Decision Economics. The decline in confidence comes at a critical time when the economy is showing signs of improvement elsewhere. A recovery in housing market is looking more sustainable. On Thursday, the government said new-home sales increased in November at the fastest seasonally adjusted annual pace in 2½ years. And the job market has made slow but steady gains in recent months. The average number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits over the past month fell to the lowest level since March 2008. But the political wrangling in Washington threatens the economy's slow, steady progress. President Barack Obama and House returned to Washington Thursday to resume talks with just days to go before the deadline.

Federal Direct Loans are fixed-rate, low interest loans available to degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students attending accredited schools at least half time. They are the most common source of college loan funds.There are two types of Direct Loans:
For Direct Loans first disbursed between July 1, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the interest rate for undergraduate students is 4.29% for Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. The interest rate for graduate students is 5.84% for Unsubsidized Loans. For Direct Loans first disbursed between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the interest rate for undergraduate students is 3.76% for Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. The interest rate for graduate students is 5.31% for Unsubsidized Loans.
Due to the changes brought on by the Federal Sequester, any Federal loans that are disbursing on or after October 1, 2015 will have an origination fee of 1.068% for Direct Loans and 4.272% for Parent and Graduate PLUS Loans. Loans with a first disbursement before December 1, 2013 will be charged the original 2013-2014 origination fee of 1.051% for Direct Loans and 4.204% for Parent and Graduate PLUS Loans for any subsequent disbursements. An origination fee is an expense of borrowing a Federal loan and is subtracted from the total loan amount prior to disbursement. The borrower is responsible for repaying the total loan amount.
As an example, a Direct Subsidized or Direct Unsubsidized Loan of $5,500 disbursed prior to December 1, 2013 would have a 1.051% origination fee, for a total of $57.80. On or after October 1, 2015, the same loan would have an increased origination fee of 1.068% for a fee of $58.74. A Parent or Graduate PLUS Loan of $10,000 disbursed prior to December 1, 2013 would have an origination fee of 4.204% for a loan fee of $420.40 versus a 4.272% origination fee and a loan fee of $427.20 for a Parent or Graduate PLUS loan disbursed on or after October 1, 2015.
If you are a
"first-time borrower" on or after July 1, 2013, there is a limit on the maximum
period of time (measured in academic years) that you can receive Direct
Subsidized Loans. A "first-time borrower" is defined as an individual with no
outstanding Direct Loan or FFEL Program Loan balance on July 1, 2013, or on the
date the individual borrows a Direct Loan after July 1, 2013.
defined as "first-time borrowers" may not receive Direct Subsidized Loans for
more than 150 percent of the published length of their academic program. For
example, students enrolled in four-year bachelor's degree program are limited to
six years of Subsidized Loan funding. In some cases, borrowers subjected to
this limit may also become responsible for paying the interest that accrues on
a Direct Subsidized Loan. This interest usually would have been paid by the
U.S. Department of Education.
Get additional information and examples of enrollment that may require the borrower to be responsible for interest..
Federal regulations limit the dollar amount a student may receive in an academic year from a Federal Subsidized Loan (see chart below for limits).To view your federal student loan history, visit the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) and log in with your FAFSA ID and PIN.
Annual Loan Limits for Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans
a -- Dependent students whose parents are unable to borrow PLUS Loans are eligible to apply for the Independent undergraduate loan limits.b -- Second Bachelor candidates are treated as Undergraduate students for purposes of determining loan limits.c -- The Graduate/Professional maximum includes Stafford Loans received for undergraduate study.

text: Is anyone fed up with the Technical Fouls that Sheed and Rip are accumulating faster than the National Debt? Are the Techincal calls justifiable, or are they just some referees trying to insure some pistons players miss enough games to impact the playoffs? Is it realistic to empower Rasheed and now Rip to man up take the call and move on? How much are these ticky tack calls impacting the play of the Pistons? Is it just me, or does every year the players seem to hit the fatigue wall right before the post-season? With Sheed having to sit out on every other tech received, this will undoubtedly affect us going into the home stretch. Rip Hamiliton is only a sneeze away from being in the same predicament, I am at a standstill as to what (if anything)that can be done from a coaching perspective. We have been going deep into the playoffs for the past 5 years or so, with the same core players, how much impact does this have on post-season performance (chicago did it, lakers did it, maybe they changed a few core palyers in between, not sure). Hopefully by the pre-season, I think the tech foul situation resets, whatever players that are fatigue, suffering from malaise, i.e. will pick up their game and the techs will slow down which I doubt seriously.

Green Bay Hosts Red-Hot Loyola in Regular Season Home Finale
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With two more wins in the books following last week's two-game road trip, the No. 20/20 Green Bay women's basketball (24-2, 14-0 HL) will play its final regular season home game against Loyola (14-13, 9-5 HL) on Thursday at 7 p.m. The game pits the two hottest teams in the Horizon League, as Green Bay has won 19 straight games and Loyola has won its previous seven contests. The Phoenix handed Loyola its last loss exactly one month prior to this meeting in a 65-62 nail-biter in Chicago on Feb. 7.
Green Bay capped off last weekend with a dominating defensive performance at UIC, smothering the Flames in a 67-36 victory. The Phoenix jumped out to a 15-0 lead after UIC missed its first 10 shots, and a 9-0 run late in the first half to push the lead to 42-18 was enough to put the game away by the intermission. Senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) scored a game-high 16 points on 6-8 shooting, while the Flames failed to put a player in double-digit scoring. Green Bay shot 46.2 percent overall with a 36.4 percent mark from long range, while UIC hit only 25.5 percent of its field goals and just 8.3 percent from behind the arc.
SCOUTING LOYOLA: The Ramblers have won seven straight and eight of their last 10 to jump in front of Detroit for the third-place spot in the Horizon League standings. During the month-long winning streak, Loyola has defeated both Detroit and second-place Youngstown State and has scored 90 or more points on two occasions. In the last contest, Loyola thrashed Milwaukee 92-76 at home on Feb. 28.
NARROW ESCAPE: Green Bay was able to escape the Windy City on a snowy Feb. 7 evening with a 65-62 win over Loyola at the Gentile Center. Trailing 26-25 at the break, the Phoenix was able to battle back in a game that featured eight ties, 12 lead changes and neither team leading by more than six points. Down 62-61 late in the game, Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) scored four unanswered points to grant the visiting team a 65-62 advantage. The Ramblers had a chance at a 3-point attempt with two seconds remaining, but the shot rimmed off to seal the Phoenix victory.
MISTAKE-FREE MATCHUP: Both Green Bay and Loyola are two of the best teams in Division I women's basketball when it comes to limiting turnovers. The Ramblers enter Thursday's contest with the nation's second-best mark for turnovers per game with an average of just 11.6. Loyola also ranks 11th in assist-to-turnover ratio at 1.19 and 15th in turnover margin at plus-5.52. The Phoenix holds down the 21st ranking in turnovers per game at 13.6 while coming in at 5th in assist-to-turnover ratio. Green Bay's plus-5.42 turnover margin is good for the 21st spot in Division I women's basketball.
TAKING A TOLL ON THE POLLS: The Phoenix continued to move up in both polls this week, first claiming the No. 20 spot in the AP Top-25 poll after holding down the No. 21 spot last week. In the USA Today Coaches poll released on Tuesday, Green Bay jumped three places to No. 20 after coming in last week at No. 23. Green Bay is once again the No. 2 team trailing only Delaware in the College Insider Mid-Major poll, but received just one first-place vote in this week's edition.
GO GREEN: Thursday's game will be a "Green" game as part of "RecyleMania" week on campus. As part of the game, Wisconsin Public Service's NatureWise program will provide renewable energy for the game and will have a booth on hand to promote this new program. The Zero-Waste Coalition will also have a booth at the game to highlight its efforts to make Green Bay a "zero waste" community, and fans are invited to bring their reusable water bottles from home as a special tap will be available to fill them. In addition, a special recycling halftime game will be unveiled. For more information, visit the UW-Green Bay Sustainability Blog.
EICHLER'S EXCELLENCE: Sarah Eichler continued her hot streak in both games last week, first picking up 12 points on a perfect 4-4 shooting from downtown at Detroit. In Saturday's win at UIC, the recent 1,000-point club member led the way with 16 points on a 6-8 day from the field. She's scored 11 or more points in the last six games, and has moved into second-place in the Horizon League for 3-point field goal percentage with a 40.7 percent mark.
TOURNAMENT TALK: Green Bay will once again host the Horizon League Tournament, which begins on Wednesday, March 13. The Kress Center has hosted every Horizon League Tournament since its opening for the 2007-08 season. As of Charlie Creme's ESPN Bracketology update on Monday, the Phoenix is currently predicted to be a No. 7 seed in the Queens, N.Y. regional against No. 10 seed St. John's.
LUKAN GOOD OUT THERE: Redshirt sophomore Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) has been on a tear from long range over the past three games, connecting on 12 of 27 attempts after hitting just six of 34 3-pointers in the 23 games prior. In the win at Detroit, Lukan went 0-5 from behind the arc in the first half before connecting on an incredible 6-8 from downtown in the final 20 minutes. In the effort, she tied the program's third-best mark for 3-point field goals in a game with six, and set the new program record with 13 attempts.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Fans can listen live on Thursday as Bruce VandenPlas will have the call on The Fan 107.5 FM, 1400 AM and TheFan1075.com. Live stats and live video on the Horizon League Network will also be available. Be sure to follow @GBPhoenixWBB and @JustinGrones on Twitter for updates throughout the game.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay closes the 2012-13 regular season with a

In two recently published forecasts — the Forrester Research Mobile Media Application Spending Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (EU-7) and the Forrester Research Mobile Media Application Spending Forecast, 2012 To 2017 (US) — we looked at mobile and tablet content usage for games, music, video, and messaging across the US and seven countries in Western Europe. As content availability becomes more synonymous with handset choice, the forecast helps us understand the proportion of mobile commerce that we can attribute to those who use and pay for digital content.
Even with the increased use of instant messaging, SMS remains the workhorse of mobile — with a 14% increase in the number of SMS messages sent in 2011 compared with 2010. More than 2 trillion SMS messages were sent in the US in 2011, which equates to more than 6 billion SMS messages sent per day. Text messaging users send or receive an average of 35 messages per day. Although by 2017 SMS will dominate mobile content spend less than it does today, it will still remain significant.

Conductor Andrey Boreyko wowed the audience of 750 patrons during the New Vision, New Stars Benefit Concert at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 22 at Jones Hall in the Houston Theater District. Orchestrating the dynamic sounds of the world-renowned Houston Symphony, Boreyko inspired the audience to remember the importance of this musical collaboration with the University of St. Thomas and how events like this stimulate the community to indulge in the promise of students aiming to study music.
With the goal of garnering support for $300,000 in gifts, contributors were truly moved by the music and banded together to raise more than $350,000, which includes underwriting, ticket sales and donations, for the next phase of the forthcoming Performing Arts Center on the St. Thomas campus. The proceeds will go toward commission for the interior design and programming for the Performing Arts Center.
The design, by Studio RED Architects, who also redesigned the Alley Theatre's upcoming construction, will include a proscenium theatre, a black box flex theater and a multi-functional conference center. This world-class theater and conference hall will add another jewel to Houston's Museum District.
Event chairs Jes and John Hagale were an integral part in the progression of the Center, and Jes is enthusiastic about the future.
"The University of St. Thomas's commitment to the vibrant integration of studio arts, music and theater into their liberal arts curriculum is what drew us to this ambitious project of building a new Performing Arts Center at the gateway to the museum district," Jes said. "As a recent graduate of the St. Thomas Master of Liberal Arts program, I can attest first hand to the remarkable dedication of the staff and faculty to their mission to graduate leaders of faith and character from Houston's only Catholic university."
Event attendees included honoree Beth Madison, who gives generously of herself to countless arts organizations in Houston, and Mark Hanson, executive director and CEO of the Houston Symphony.
University President Dr. Robert Ivany thanked all attendees for their generous support and contributions to the future of St. Thomas. Marianne Ivany said the Houston Symphony Benefit Concert was an elegant, first-class affair, which definitely showed that the University of St. Thomas has earned the top spot in the hearts of Houstonians.
"We can be seen as equal partners in the Museum District, on the university scene and as full collaborators with our Houston community partners in this city," Marianne said. "Those that shined most brightly were our student performers and student ambassadors. They are our credentials, and they certainly made UST proud last night. We are definitely forming leaders of faith, character and class."
Other guests included Cora Sue and Harry Mach, Margaret Alkek-Williams and Jim Daniel, Trini Mendenhall Sosa and Frank Sosa, C.C. Conner, Ginger and John Niemann, Barbara Van Postman, Denise and Philip Bahr, Camille and Jim Tichenor, Bob and Nancy Peiser, Frances Marzio, and Raye White.

What goes around comes around! Swimsuit trends are inspired from decades past every year. Relying on classic, flattering shapes from seasons past and re-vamping them with a modern print is one way of re-inventing these looks. Another way swimwear designers rely on a retro inspiration is by using a retro print--such as a polka dot— and integrating into a modern swimsuit style.
Read on for some retro trends and how to make them wearable for your body shape and personal style. Whether you're a size 0 or a size 20, you can alter some of these retro trends to make them extremely flattering.
Retro Swimwear Trends
There are a ton of elements of the 2011 swimwear looks which have clearly been inspired by swimsuit looks of the past. Whether it be structured, Esther Williams-style shapes, flirty swimdresses, or halter swimsuits, the influence is evident.
Halter Swimsuits
Can you guess what the most universally flattering swimsuit choice is? The halter! Halter swimsuits look great on a variety of body types. They're especially flattering to an hourglass, all-over curvy body type.
The halter strap provides extra support for larger busts, and also creates a slimming shape. You can find halter swimsuits in a variety of styles and prints. Whether you choose a solid halter bathing suits with embellished details like side ties, or a halter swimsuit in a fun print, you will look like a movie star!
Swimdresses are versatile, feminine and flattering. They offer a retro feel reminiscent of the bathing beauties of the past. Swimdresses offer coverage and are a great way to camoflauge areas you may be self conscious about, such as your thighs or rear. They draw attention to the waist, bust and up toward the face. A very flattering swimdress style you may want to consider is one with a fun print on top (such as a floral or polka dot) and a slimming color like black on the bottom.
One Piece Swimsuits
One piece swimsuits are an absolute swimsuit staple for any woman's swimwear wardrobe. For one-piece swimsuit styles which give off a vintage feel, search for styles with 40s inspired details such as one-shoulder styling, jeweled embellishments, or draped details. Simple, classic styles which are flattering and offer timeless elegance are the way to go.

Detroit Pistons at Boston Celtics Monday March 15 8:00 pm Local TV: Nat'l TV: ESPN Radio: 950 WWJ
that#30 dude is lying... or...the contract matters. HE may think that he is acting "controversially" in NBA, but his "troublesome image" has earned more money to owners wallet than most of who behave nicely... in short, with his anti-system rant, formerly known as #36 actually works for the system.
And I miss him....
Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
The first quarter in a nutshell. Charlie Garbage lecturing Austin Powers on where he should be positioned on offense.
Tay went down with the score 16-7 and the Celtics put in high gear and pushed it to a 16 pt lead at the end of one and now a 29 pt halftime lead.....what was Saturday's halftime deficet vs the Hawks, 28?? Pistons have 6 assists (3 each by rip and Will) and 10 turnovers... The Celtics have 1 turnover and 15 assists
WHAT A BUNCH OF PUNKS...AND THEY GET TO TAKE HOME A PAYCHECK full pay AFTER A half like that KNOWING they are on National TV.
I think Joe D needs to witness a few games like this so that he isn't disillusioned into thinking that the team is actually close.
Another double double for Maxiell. It's amazing how defense smothers offense. We need more trees near the basket.
All three rookies (Jerebko, Daye, Summers) played pretty well. If they keep getting valuable minutes and the Pistons keep losing, I'm happy.
At least the FANS were having a good time. The ones who stayed.
Well for the 9th game in a row the Pistons offense puts up at least 93 points....and for the 7th time during that period (March) they still come up on the losing end of the score. The Pistons are doing their best to keep up with the Pacers, Wizards, Sixers, Kings and Knicks winning only 2 of their last 12, and still can't make up any real ground because the other teams are experts at and even beating us at the taynk game..... Ok back to tonights game.....Once the again the ugly ESPN curse falls upon the Pistons...on 3/5 it was Stuckey going down and tonight it was Tay who backed into Max's knee and after laying on the floor in pain, was helped up and carried back to the lockeroom being held up by someones shoulders. (and he did not return). The game appeared to be the longest garbage time since....well Saturday's game vs the Hawks. At least in that one they tried to make a comeback,,,but in this one the closest we could get after the 29 pt halftime lead was to get it down to 19 at the end of three. That was short lived and the Celtics eventually got the score back up to the 29 pt lead with less 45 seconds when Tony Allen and NateDog thought they were still at the all star game with Nate practicing one of his prop dunks...which although got the crowd jazzed ,wound up being a unsportsmanlike like play when you are already running your opponent out of the gym. We won't be sure if this win gets the Celtics back on track or not. Hopefully they will continue to struggle and get bounced by the Bucs in the first round Lets hope that Tay is OK and at least get back on the floor, but if I were coach Q I would sit him out tomorrows game vs the Cavs. We know we can't beat them, why continue to feed Tays backache by bringing him back to soon. A couple of bright spots for the Pistons....as they did despite losing by the game by 26 win the 3rd qtr 35-25..... another bright spot was DaJuan Summers playing 18 mins and scoring 12 on 4-5 shooting including 2 three balls. Also another positive was Kwame Brown who after missing his first 5 free throw attempts, finally hit one after swapping jerseys in between FT attempts. He came into the game as the worst FT shooter on the team (even making big Ben look good) shooting 36% making 29 of 81 shots......now he has improved to 30 of 87.
Down 31 or so. Came back to just down 19 to end the 3rd. Kwame and CV come in. BG is in the backcourt. Boston scores all the points from there. It was not entirely bad defense though. Sometimes we defended well and they just made a tuff shot. Finley, even an older version, is still a fine player, and he hurt us pretty bad tonight. Tay is injured. Pretty much inevitable, as this Piston's organization is rather clueless. This was the 3rd game in 4 nights. So why is a guy coming off a back injury out there playing? I will say this once more - when you overdo it - like playing a back-to-back set, its not that 3rd day you feel the hurt from overworking your muscles. Its the day after that - or the 4th day out of the 4. And playing basketball on such a day, like today, is a terrible thing to do to sore muscles. I'd just about trade in the whole Pistons medical team at this point, right along with the coach, for being absolutely clueless about such a simple thing. The good news, we got to see Summers play. And he acquitted himself quite well. Like he pretty much always does when he gets to play any significant minutes. For this game, JJ was totally out of place at power forward. I mean, who is he suppose to guard between Perkins and Garnett? And who between Big Baby and Sheed can JJ guard when their subs are in? But hey, the coach opened the 3rd quarter with JJ at power forward, with nothing else changed but Summers in for Tay. Talking about not making adjustments. Well, we did get off to a 6-2 lead. All downhill from there. And it just got worse and worse as far as the coaching. First small ball, then Atkins came in. And Kwame was out there doing his impression of a basketball player. A very poor impression, as all they got to do is foul him and watch him brick his free throws. One accidentally did go in though. CV gave us no scoring at all until rather late in this one. More bad coaching. Again, this is the 3rd game in 4 nights - but rather than give Bynum rest he was left out there as part of a pointless 3 guard rotation. Daye also got decent minutes and was our only player not negative for the game. Again, he got to play, and he looked good. Way to late to help this season. I wonder how Kuester feels about JJ, Daye, and Summers doing well when they get to play. Does he hate it because it shows he made a mistake to try to exclude them all completely going into the season? Just wondering. In Sum, the only thing Kuester did right in this one - play Daye, play Summers, play JJ, and play JMAX. JMAX had another double double amid the carnage. The only good part of the game was the 2nd half of the 3rd. With two spry youngsters out there, Daye and JJ, we managed to make the game respectable for just a moment. Just think if coach clueless could actually come up with the idea of moving Daye to shooting guard with JJ and Summers as the forwards. In a 30 point blowout - and this guy can't manage to get the 3 rooks on the floor at the same time? Pretty pathetic. We scored the first 6 of 8 points, and then basically listened to the national announcers tell why Bynum was not a point guard as we quit scoring pretty much after that. Boston was pressuring the guy and that pretty much killed our offense. For the game Bynum did do some scoring. And Rip played, of course. Of little help if the point guard is pressured well - since he has a completely one dimensional game.
Playing a game on the road without 3 of our 5 starters was hardly a test of anything for us or for the Celtics. I suppose it was enjoyable, kindof, sortof, in a way -- but I thought the Celtics were totally classless. They beat, as they should, a crippled team - and acted a lot of the time like it was as thrilling as game 7 of the finals. Did they have to act indignant over EVERY call that went against them. Truly, that team seems like a collection of jerks to me. It's official - I hate the C's more than any team in the league. The only interesting thing about this game for the Pistons was the play of Bynum (he sure looked like a sparkplug backup PG to me), JJ (Is there a tougher matchup aside from LeBron than Pierce?), Daye and Summers. JJ was overmatched physically at times, but I remain convinced that he's got a really bright present and future. Summers impressed me a lot. He's really a great athlete - and a nice combination of excellent speed and power. This kid is really strong and can shoot lights out from distance, as well as take it to the hole. I think he has a very bright future. Daye, I think, has a very high ceiling. But I do have one concern that makes me wonder: he seems to have slow feet. Maybe as he gets stronger, he'll improve his agility and his foot speed and/or he'll really learn how to use his length to compensate. I know he'll gain functional strength, but am just not sure how that translates to deal with his foot speed. If someone were to ask me which of the 3 will turn out the best, or who has the highest ceiling, the truth is, I've got no idea. I think Joe really nailed this draft.
LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I equally hate the Celtics and the Cavs now.
He got kneed in the back by his own teammate.
I don't know how Tay's injury can be blamed on anything but Maxiell ramming his knee into his spine as he well down. Tay has been playing some of the best ball of his career right now. There are a lot of bonehead things going on with the Pistons. Dumars' entire team looks like it is built on sand if Stuckey is (as reported) on a heart monitor. I gave up midway through the second when I lost video. The Pistons stopped competing in the first quarter, and when Atkins and Summers were in before halftime, that was an indication that Q had basically given up. As an aside, does anyone else feel a mixture of disgust and revulsion watching Charlie Garbage play? He's now being outplayed by Maxiell and Jerebko.
They all have shooting ability, good attitudes, and they try on defense. Pretty good set of rooks for sure. Jerebko was a steal out of the 2nd round.
