I don't think many people use the setting, and I think it's unlikely anyone would decline your request, Jeremy, but if they did I'm sure it would be for reasons that meant they would decline lots of requests rather than anything personal to you!
I really like it if someone adds me as a friend, I think most people would be pleased. I think go ahead and add, you might make someone's day.

9. | deadbeat dad | ||
One of the lowest forms of life on Earth. An incompetent, milquetoast loser. A father who refuses to be a man and take responsibility for caring for his children. If he's divorced, he refuses to pay child support. In the meantime, his children and wife become resentful toward him.
The justice system and prosecuting attorneys are right in wanting to incarcerate any deadbeat dad. They should be locked up with the key thrown away until they take responsibility for the children they have brought into this world.
1. | deadbeat dad | ||
A father who does not provide for a family that he was part of creating. Does not have morals or a responsible enough nature to realize how difficult he is making life for his family. My husband works and keeps his money to himself and decides what he is going to pay and when. He wanted to get married, he wanted to have children and now that we do he isn't stepping up to the plate to ensure our future. I am 6 months pregnant, we have a two year old and I work over 40 hours a week trying to make ends meet. For 4 months he made excuses as to why he was not making any money and yet he takes all the credit playing himself out to be the provider. There should be a definition for a dead beat husband who causes his wife so much grief that she wants to get a divorce and then he becomes the deadbeat father.
2. | deadbeat dad | ||
(n) A male who fathers a child and makes no contributions to its rearing, providing neither emotional nor financial help to his family. Often unmarried to the child's mother or divorced, usually resented by the offspring. 1. Mary's father skipped town when she was five and she never heard from him again. What a deadbeat dad!
2. My dad's always off drinking or gambling. The lousy deadbeat's never around. |
3. | deadbeat dad | ||
A father, no longer living with his wife/girlfriend and child(ren), who refuses to pay child support. A deadbeat dad who can't keep a shirt on his kid's back should be shot in the head.
4. | Deadbeat Dad | ||
A pitiful excuse of a sub-human being. It is likely that you will find this said sub-human in a bar, drinking and playing pool with an unattractive and probably overweight piece of trailer trash you wouldn't want around your kids. Although, this is probably fine because the deadbeat doesn't even come around, so it's probably no big deal. (See barfly) This barfly which is often associated with a deadbeat father probably has child problems of her own. Commonly, the barfly's spawn are from numerous fathers and the children are probably in the father's/state's care, in fact, the barfly probably screwed up so much there's no possible way she could ever get her kids back, even if the said father of the barfly's children were to die.
The deadbeat father can often be seen wearing $150 sunglasses(probably oakley's because he's suffering from Peter Pan syndrome and wants to live in the 90's) and is sporting a $300 cell phone. He probably is unemployed, drawing unemployment, and works under-the-table,(to help support his and his barfly's habit), which he freely admit to the judge because of his dwindling IQ due to the heavy amounts of beer and marijuana comsumption. Due to lack of functioning braincells, he is unable to remember the children or their birthdays and will often call on the wrong date if he even calls at all. Of course, because the deadbeat is so self centered, he believes he is a wonderful father and believes other fathers should be just like him. |
5. | deadbeat dad | ||
A father who makes a good living and bitches about having to pay $256 dollars a month in child support even though he can afford it but would rather spend all his money on whiskey and pot. A true live asshole. I wish someone would take my deadbeat dad out in the back and set his head on fire because he is such an asshole.
6. | deadbeat dad | ||
An irresponsible father who hasn't the decency to do his moral, legal and ethical duty to support his child or at least to offer token payments of child support according to what he can afford or explain why not and what his plan is to make it up in the future. I wish my former son-in-law wasn't a deadbeat dad and that the next time he wanted to get a body piercing he'd send that money to his son.
7. | deadbeat dad | ||
A fucking ass hole point blank . My Dad , MAYBE your dad , the guy next to you on the highway

Hiring a new employee can be the most important single decision an entrepreneur makes. Here's a guide for the task.
What should you do about health insurance for your employees? What benefits really matter? Well, start by expecting things to change rapidly over the next year or so. While the debate rages around us about what to do to improve the situation, you need to know how this works now.
What do you really need to know about insurance? First, you need it. Entrepreneurship is enough of a gamble, without risking your business, your reputation or your freedom because you didn't want to pay for insurance. That said, some insurance you need, and some you don't.

Mostert, Deysel start for Boks
28 Jul 2011
Peter de Villiers has made four changes to his starting line-up for the Springboks' next Tri-Nations clash against the All Blacks in Wellington.
Lock Gerhard Mostert, who was a late injury replacement for Flip van der Merwe, has been rushed into the second row to make his Test debut this Saturday. Blindside flank Jean Deysel is also promoted to a shuffled loose trio, with Danie Rossouw shifting to No 8 and Ashley Johnson falling to the bench. Deon Stegmann keeps his No 6 jumper.
The other two changes are to the backline, with outside centre Adi Jacobs replacing Wynand Olivier in the midfield and Juan de Jongh picked at inside centre. Fullback Pat Lambie fills in for the injured Gio Aplon, who returned home with Van der Merwe on Wednesday.
South Africa – 15 Pat Lambie, 14 Bjorn Basson, 13 Adi Jacobs, 12 Juan de Jongh, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Morne Steyn, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Danie Rossouw, 7 Jean Deysel, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Alistair Hargreaves, 4 Gerhard Mostert, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 John Smit (c), 1 Dean Greyling.
Subs: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 CJ van der Linde, 18 Ryan Kankowski, 19 Ashley Johnson, 20 Charl McLeod, 21 Wynand Olivier, 22 Odwa Ndungane.

Ellen Rometsch
The most potentially damaging woman in the President's stable of beautiful sex partners was Ellen Rometsch, a 27-year-old pricey Washington hooker and Elizabeth Taylor look-alike. Born in what had become East Germany, Rometsch was also a suspected spy. If exposed, the Kennedy-Rometsch affair could have become a major national security issue. For a steep price, J. Edgar Hoover kept the lid on it.
by Don Fulsom
Had the American public known in 1963 what they know now about John F. Kennedy's scores of sexual escapades, would he have been able to survive in office? Though he was charismatic and capable, probably not. Particularly if it were known that one of the President's girl friends was—as is now reputed—a White House intern. And even more especially, if it were known that one of his bedmates were a prostitute and a reputed Soviet Bloc spy.
The intern, Mimi Beardsley Alford, then 19 and now 66, is penning a memoir—Once Upon a Secret—that claims she had an affair with President Kennedy from June 1962 to November 1963.
With several other White House staffers as always-willing sex partners, the President never had far to go for a fling. Aside from Mimi, there were: Pamela Turnure, Jackie Kennedy's appointments secretary; White House press aide Priscilla Weiss, code named "Fiddle" by the Secret Service; and press aide Jill Cowan, code named "Faddle." Jack frequently romped with Fiddle and Faddle—as a nude threesome—in the White House swimming pool.

It is perhaps not uncommon to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of obtaining the best. Competition can be healthy and be fun, but it is also a pristine opportunity for thieves to get your information. Remember, when describing information it is meant towards obtaining your items and accounts. In light of diablo 3 is soon here, this article is to help protect you and your hard earned information. Please note that this is for educational purposes only to safe guard against thieving tactics.
What You Need to Know
First and foremost, Blizzard will never ask for your account items, or passwords. They do not need them because they already have access once installed/created/registered. Anyone impersonating (claiming) to be a Blizzard representative or scamming should be reported to email@example.com. You may also use the Blizzard web report tool to report and obtain what is needed when reporting at https://us.battle.net/support/en/ticket/submit
Secondly, Blizzard does not replace lost or stolen items. There would be too much traffic with claims, so once they are gone, they are gone. If you think this is unfair, try to think of it this way: how would you feel if you traded and legitimately obtained an item (or account) from someone, but all of sudden it is gone because a user claimed it was not a legitimate trade? Or how would you like dealing with hundreds of two party complaints of one saying they did trade/give the item and the other claiming they didnt? Even worse, you make the wrong decision restoring an item to a user who simply did not like what they gave/traded. (RMAH will make this abit better. and blizzard might take action this time becouse of it, but it will take time)
Lastly these scams typically do not require the use of third party programs. This adds to the difficulty on Blizzards end to determine if it was legitimate or not. It is also not uncommon for these scams to be used in combination.
Web/Email Scams
Voting/Nominations: Scammers may try to have you vote for them or register to get a reward, or to become a part of their clan, or to gain something free. This voting or registration" may come in email or website form trying to have you give them your information. Beware and avoid voting with registering your information (especially beyond an account). A clan should not require a cd-key or account password.
Download This: Usually done by an email attachment (sometimes referred to a website) by having you download something with promise of a reward such as an account, item, program, etc. Unfortunately this download turns out to be a virus, keylogger, or bot, which can give them your information, and even compromise your computer resources. Some of these bots are specific enough that you will not be able to exit or stop its movements. If this happens, do a hard (push and hold the power button) shut off of your computer, clean your computer (at least delete temp files and internet history/cookies/temp files), run your protection software, and then assess the damage.
Fake Blizzard: An attempt to make an email seem like it is legitimately from Blizzard. The contents will be along the lines that you are in trouble or your account did not register and you need to complete the appropriate registration. Please ensure it is actually from Blizzard and then check any URL (link) by observing the address in the lower left corner to see if it is taking you to a legitimate website. You may also call Blizzard to see if they had indeed sent you anything.
Chat Scams
DND: Stands for Do Not Disturb and is a chat command that informs those that whisper you to why not to disturb. So, if you did, /dnd accountname is bob and password is sue then that is what will be displayed when whispered. If you /dnd command again then the message will no longer display. (this was a scam way in D2, in diablo 3. they might use some thing close to this.)
Blizzard Says: Usually done by portraying that they are an authority, a Blizzard Representative. This usually coincides with trying to obtain your password...or else (claim you could be banned)! Remember Blizzard does not need your password or cd-key. Also their text is blue and their icon is a fully armored male with a blue cape.
Want my Account: This is an offer for a free account claiming they no longer want to play. The attempt is to have you give your account password and they will immediately attempt to log on. This can be done in games, chat rooms, and even websites. Remember to offer a different password.
Game Scams
Its Me...Whoever: This scam is done by trying to get you to believe you know them. They may try to goad you to reveal an earlier friends account name (who they claim they are) in attempts to get you to loan them items, use your account, etc. Some may even try to drag this out for days, some might even go months. Be careful who you trust in loaning your information. (with real id, battle tag this way IS VERY MUCH a problem in D3.)
Trust for: Usually done in promise of a better item(s), account, initiation into a clan, etc. One or more people may be in on the scam (could be the entire clan). The idea is you have to drop an item, stand, or walk away without picking it up. The others may be able to pick it up and then drop it. The first or even the second item may not be taken in hopes of a better item each drop. The goal is to get you comfortable and once satisfied the item(s) is taken.
Dupe Your Items: It might be possible, but unlikely any user advertising can do so. Scammers may try to demonstrate [/sarcasm) the dupe method of a lower item (such as arrow, gem or even a simple item, or a unique item). Really, they already had the item in possession and typically use items where their stats do not change. Then they try to have you give them a quality item (unique, rare, high lvl gem, etc.) and leave. Do not give your items unless they are intended to be free. (lets hope dupes are out of D3, but there will be ppl that try and scam you like this.)
Drop It: Certain items may allow only one in possession and may not be traded in the trade window (they may only be viewed). Scammers will try to get you to trade by dropping an item standing outside of them being physically seen. This scam is done both inside and outside of town. Counting is usually involved and then the item is not there or it was not what was agreed upon trade. It could even be the same item, but severely lower than what you originally saw. For example, they showed you a perfect windforce and when you pick it up, the stats are heavily adjusted. (allways use the trade system, as far as we know there will not be any items that its uniq(only 1 on each hero) like : Annilus, Gheeds, and Hellfire Torch from D2.)
The Walls: This is where a scammer will try to get you to stand in a specific spot and have you drop the item. They will try to get you to stand near a wall, edge, inside a building, or some area that the item has a chance to drop on the other side or in a position where they can get it before you can. USE THE INGAME TRADE.
Bait and Switch This is probably one of the oldest scams in the Diablo world. Essentially this involves a scammer initially showing an item to trade in the trade window. The scammers inventory is full, they say they need room, or they are in a hurry. Once you put your offer backup they will put the items image in the trade window and click the trade button. Come to find out that it is not the same item. For example, they may even give you the item, but it now has lower stats. Make sure you take your mouse cursor over the item carefully ensuring this is the item you agreed to trade for BEFORE clicking the Accept trade button.
Sockets: The idea of this is to boost certain items features by adding a gem, jewel, or rune. It might make it to look too good to be true. This method is not really a scam, but could be done with other scams. Please be sure to look at the item carefully.
Buy it for Me: Usually this involves more than one scammer. It will look something like that Scammer A has the item Scammer B wants, but Scammer A wont sell. Scammer B is offering to overpay for the item. So, you trade with Scammer A and are successful, but traded some generally good items for a common, or even basic item essentially, you overpaid. Both leave and you are stuck with the item.
D2jsp - forum gold : this was a good way of tradeing back in the diablo 2 prime days, as it worked back then. now the mods/ppl that run this site are corrupt and steals as well, i did go back here to trade D3 related stuff. and got scamed by a high ranked mod. (we where 6 ppl that got scamed at the same time, and all the forum gold was given to him) and they even closed my account as i could show some prof, paypal cant pay you back - but visa can. make sure you pay with visa if you use D2JSP (Warning DONT use D2jsp, blizzards fee for RMAH is not that high.)
thanks to Bobertith.

BTOP in Action
Libraries conjure up memories of books and learning about new subjects, ideas, and places. Today, OSHEAN Inc.'s BEACON 2.0 project is bringing significantly increased broadband capacity and Internet access to public libraries across Rhode Island so that residents can expand learning beyond the printed word.
Made possible by BTOP funds, the BEACON 2.0 project is using a $21.7 million grant to build a fiber-optic network and a $1.2 million grant to improve public computer centers in Rhode Island's libraries. The 339-mile fiber-optic network will bring high speed Internet to over 50 community anchor institutions and provide improved access to over 400 schools and libraries across the state. The public computer center portion of the Beacon 2.0 project is led by Ocean State Libraries and will improve capacity, equipment, and training in computer centers at all of Rhode Island's public libraries.
The Beacon 2.0 Library Computer Centers project will deploy 627 new computer stations in 72 libraries and establish mobile computer centers. OSHEAN and Ocean State Libraries increased the number of mobile labs to 12 after receiving a high level of interest from local libraries. Two multilingual trainers are currently working with libraries to determine how to best address the needs of local communities, including Spanish' and Portuguese' speaking populations. Library staff will then teach classes on a wide range of topics from how to set up an e-mail account to how to use Microsoft Office products and how to apply for a job online. The mobile labs will enable libraries to hold training classes without interfering with other visitors' access to the libraries' main computer stations. The project team hopes to eventually deploy video teleconferencing equipment in the mobile labs to simulcast programming at other branches or to archive training sessions for later use.
Library computer centers across the state will be further enhanced through the development of the Beacon 2.0 Network. The dedicated network will greatly improve access at schools, libraries, and other community anchor institutions statewide and Beacon 2.0's 400 Gbps Internet capacity will allow these local institutions to connect up to 50 times faster than the speeds currently available to Rhode Island residents.
Together, the Beacon 2.0 Network and Library Computer Centers will enhance access across the state and extend the Internet's benefits to all Rhode Islanders.

On June 22, 2011, the Pend Oreille County Public Utility District (PUD) held a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate the start of construction on its broadband infrastructure project. The event had an estimated 120 to 140 people in attendance, including representatives from the offices of local, state, and U.S. elected officials, PUD staff, and other members of the community. Several speakers, including PUD leaders and a representative from the governor's office, delivered remarks about the benefits of broadband and thanked the community and supporters of the project.
The PUD project plans to bring affordable broadband access to unserved and underserved rural areas of the county in northeastern Washington State. Construction began south of Newport along U.S. Route 2, with fiber lines that will be part of a 565-mile network. As of early October 2011, nearly 100 miles had been deployed. When complete, this new network will increase reliability and upgrade broadband speeds to 3,200 households, 360 businesses, and 24 community anchor institutions.
Additionally, PUD used BTOP funds to hire construction crews with 35 total workers, and hired eight staff members, including five contractors as managers and inspectors.

St. Paul, Minnesota celebrated Broadband Access Day on December 9, 2010, in honor of the University of Minnesota's (UMN) Broadband Access Project (BAP). The University is collaborating with 12 community organizations—four in St. Paul, three in South Minneapolis, and five in North Minneapolis—to expand access to high-speed Internet and the opportunities it brings in many areas of life.
The St. Paul public computer centers (PCCs) held grand opening events on December 9, welcoming representatives from municipal, county, state, and Federal elected offices, as well as community partners and PCC users. A bus took visitors to each of the four sites: Asian Community Technology Center, Hmong American Partnership, Lifetrack Resources, and the YWCA St. Paul.
Through UMN's $2.9 million BTOP grant, the organization has renovated 11 public computer sites and has created 16 new jobs in the first year of the program. Training classes at each site are targeted at a wide variety of groups including small/disadvantaged/minority-owned businesses, nonprofit organizations, individuals, and community groups. Currently, users can choose from training classes including introductory Internet classes, Microsoft Office® suite basics, job search help, resume building, and college prep. BAP staff develops additional courses as needs arise.
BAP will primarily benefit individual PCC users, a wide range of people from all age groups, unemployed and underemployed, immigrants, and refugees – by helping them develop important computer skills, search for jobs, and enhance their education. In addition, non-profits affected by significant levels of funding cuts will have the opportunity to support staff development and small business owners will learn how to use technology to increase their customer base through online promotions and other communications.

The Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority (SFCHA) opened the new Hopewell Community Center/Public Computer Center on June 3, 2010, and, four days later, kicked off daily classes for the community. Mayor David Coss and children from the neighborhood cut a ribbon to mark the opening. English as a second language and computer classes were almost at capacity from the beginning and General Equivalency Diploma (GED) classes were generating similar interest. The new center will offer broadband access and computer training to low-income families, minorities, and disadvantaged youth as well as disabled and elderly Santa Fe residents. SFCHA expects to complete improvements on a second PCC by fall 2010.

The School Board of Miami-Dade County launched the Learn Ideas, Navigate Knowledge (LINK) program in 35 low-income elementary, middle, and high schools across the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district. This program promotes broadband adoption among economically distressed populations by providing the necessary training and equipment to students and their families. The school board partners with non- and for-profit organizations to provide computers, Internet service, and multilingual digital literacy training to participating families.
The LINK program created an Introduction to Computers class through its partnership with The Parent Academy. Through this class, participants learn computer basics, Internet fundamentals, and how to use LINK's Parent Portal. Once completed, participating families receive a free personal computer and access to its Parent Portal, an online tool that allows parents to view students' grades and keep in contact with teachers. Additionally, a video of the Introduction to Computers class, available in English, Spanish, and Creole, is pre-loaded onto each computer along with anti-virus and word-processing software.
As of July 2011, BTOP funds have helped the school board distribute computers and provide Internet service to more than 2,400 families. Additionally, BTOP funding has allowed the program to employ instructors from The Parent Academy for its Introduction to Computers class. By the end of the project, the LINK program is expected to provide computers and Internet access to approximately 6,000 households.

On June 21, 2011, Sho-Me Technologies, LLC began construction on the first new fiber segment of the Sho-Me MO middle-mile project. Combined with 880 miles of existing fiber, the project will deploy a total of 500 miles of new fiber to complete a 1380-mile fiber network across 30 counties in south and central Missouri. Sixty workers are diligently constructing the network to bring high-speed access to 100 community anchor institutions, including K-12 schools, community colleges, public libraries, health institutions, and various local governments. This middle-mile fiber backbone will enable distance learning and telehealth, enhance public safety applications, and expand opportunities for economic development across Missouri.
As a middle-mile project, Sho-Me MO is a part of a five-year initiative, MoBroadbandNow, launched by Missouri Governor Jay Nixon in 2009. The initiative is seeking to expand broadband accessibility to 95 percent of the total state population, a significant increase from the current projected accessibility of 80 percent. During the State Fair, Sho-Me Technologies' Jerry Hartman presented project updates to Governor Nixon and other state legislators. The Governor also acknowledged the Sho-Me MO project is advancing his "MoBroadbandNow" initiative to expand broadband access throughout Missouri.
Sho-Me Technologies recently connected the State Fairgrounds near the city of Sedalia to the network, so the Department of Agriculture, State Fair Community College, Sedalia school district buildings, and other public safety agencies operating at the State Fairgrounds could have high-speed Internet access. Missouri's state government has taken an active role in moving agriculture into the Internet age by educating rural farmers on how to use a variety of online tools. For example, the state is teaching farmers how to use smart energy meters to reduce utility bills through energy efficiency methods. In another class, the state is training farmers how to use broadband and GPS technologies to track weather patterns for crop irrigation. The state is also educating farmers on how to trade commodities in real time with global markets using video conferencing and YouTube instructional videos.
Once completed, the network could provide affordable and accessible broadband service for up to 260,000 households and 66,000 businesses by enabling local Internet service providers to utilize the project's open network to extend and improve their offerings.

SDN Communications is moving swiftly to deploy the state's new middle mile network before the ground freezes this winter. Throughout South Dakota, SDN crews are hard at work deploying a network that is the core of a $25 million investment to connect more than 300 anchor institutions – schools, hospitals, public safety agencies, and government offices – in 75 South Dakota communities.
SDN has two years to complete connectivity, an aggressive timeline since South Dakota winters will halt construction for four months a year. One of the first BTOP infrastructure recipients to break ground, the company put an estimated 50 construction workers on the job, not to mention the administrative workers and consultants managing the projects. Work started in Rapid City in August, and crews broke ground in Vermillion, Watertown, and Yankton in September. Vermillion's nine anchor institutions will be service-ready by mid-November. The other three communities will be ready by year's end.
To see local news coverage, please visit here. To experience the impact of the project up close, watch SDN's BTOP Stimulus Project video.

The State Library of Louisiana's BTOP project, "Louisiana Libraries: Connecting People to Their Potential," has held more than 1,200 free digital literacy and software classes and will supply 640 laptop computers to libraries throughout the state by the end of the year. With these efforts, the State Library seeks to improve the workforce skills of Louisiana citizens and provide a solid economic foundation for strengthening Louisiana communities.
The free classes offer provide workers and job seekers the technology skills needed to succeed in the digital economy, including professional-grade classes in the most widely used business software, such as Microsoft® Office, Adobe® Creative Suite, and Quicken®. Louisianans also can take business skills classes to improve their proficiency on topics like Getting Your Job Search Started, Mastering the Interview, and Business Etiquette. Additional training helps people make maximum use of technology with classes in Computer Foundations, Introduction to Home Wireless Setup, and Home Computer Security.
In addition to the classes, the State Library will deploy 10 Internet-ready laptops to each parish, so citizens can borrow them through their local library and connect to any hot spot to get online. The primary goal is to promote broadband use so that citizens may become comfortable and familiar with this technology. The State Library also created the Louisiana Jobs & Career Center website, www.lajacc.org, which offers career tools and displays searchable job postings for the public.

"Having access to the Internet is like having a stove or refrigerator or a phone. You can't function with it," said Jerome Ryans, President and CEO of Tampa Housing Authority (THA). THA is turning this idea into a reality at its 23 housing sites in Tampa, Fla. As part of its AccessALL Tampa project, THA has turned on Internet access in all of the area's 3,554 public housing and low-income housing units.
Since receiving a $2.1 million BTOP grant in August 2010, over 150 residents have completed THA's "Intro to Microsoft Windows 7®" course. An additional 200 students are enrolled in sessions beginning in April 2011. Instructors provide individualized attention to small classes of 15 or 20 students encouraging them to interact and ask questions. A total of 68 students are enrolled in an A+ Certification program, a course designed to teach students how to configure, troubleshoot, install, and upgrade computers. THA hopes these training courses will not only increase broadband adoption, but also provide tenants with marketable skills to increase their employability.
In keeping with the idea of a computer as an appliance, THA is also implementing a SmartUnit pilot program in 197 housing units. Computers are being installed at permanent kiosks in each of the participating units. Tenants in these units are required to attend a six-week introduction to Microsoft Windows 7®. The course also includes Internet safety information targeted towards parents since many of the SmartUnits house families with young children. As part of the pilot program, THA is conducting a survey of school children to determine how access to a computer and the Internet at home affects grades. THA is surveying grades received prior to installing the computer kiosks and plans to compare them to grades received in subsequent semesters. THA hopes that broadband and computer access will have a significantly positive impact on the grades of students living in SmartUnit communities.

In 2011, Technology for All's (TFA) Texas Connects Coalition project created or refurbished 71 public computer centers. These centers are a part of a statewide campaign to help those without access to computers and the Internet acquire the digital literacy skills needed to participate in today's modern workforce.
Using BTOP funds, TFA has been able to make available approximately 350 computers to underserved community members, providing free Internet access to an average of 13,600 users per week. Along with free computer access, the centers provide a variety of resources to help local residents develop technology skills that will make them more competitive in the job market. The centers offer workforce development assistance for resume creation, job searches, and interview preparation. The centers also provide classes covering topics such as computer basics, Internet fundamentals, word processing, and business software, such as Microsoft® Office.
TFA's job training efforts are already making a huge impact on Texas residents. More than 46,000 students have participated in TFA's classes. According to TFA, in many communities, residents are using their newly developed computer skills to find and retain jobs. For example, a single parent who was on a fixed income and could not to purchase a computer or broadband service for her home was able to use a TFA center in Houston, Texas, to connect to the Internet. At the center, she developed computer skills, and learned how to update her resume and search online for employment opportunities.

Ashton Kutcher takes Mila Kunis home for the holidays
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are having a real-people Christmas this year in Iowa, Kutcher's home base.
Glamorous celebrity activities have include trips to Bed Bath & Beyond and a sporting-goods store in Cedar Rapids, Celebuzz reported, as well as a stop for frozen yogurt Saturday night, according to People.
The "Two and a Half Men" star and his newest squeeze "were picking out gifts for his family," a BB&B employee told Celebuzz. "They bought robes, slippers and candles. It's really cold in Iowa right now, so I'm sure it will come in handy."
Also reportedly on the list for the mall trip was more PDAs than is usual for the low-key couple. (Hey, it's cold outside! Can you blame them?)

Cozy way to rebound from being slapped with an anti-Semitic slur by a Ukrainian politician earlier this month (her) and filing for divorce on Friday (him). On the divorce front, incidentally, TMZ reports that a big part of the yearlong delay had to do with the potential financial settlement to be paid out to Demi Moore, who allegedly wanted a payout along the lines of her deal with Bruce Willis. Moore is reportedly the much richer of the estranged spouses, so perhaps that's why this season finds Kutcher at the mall.
Ashton, of course, previously brought Demi for visits to Iowa as well, although one such trip didn't have a very happy ending — for the University of Iowa, at least.
U of I, home to the Hawkeyes and for a few years home to Kutcher's abbreviated college career, admitted to the NCAA that violations took place when football recruits were introduced to the famous couple on the sidelines back in 2010, the Des Moines Register reported.
No need to worry about keeping Mila cloistered on any football sidelines this time of year, however: With a 4-8 record for 2012, there's no postseason play for the Hawkeyes to protect.

Public restrooms design usually pay great attention to hand washing, providing facilities like wash basin (sink) - sometimes with touch free, IR operated taps - soap and hand drier or paper towels.
But when leaving the restroom, in too many cases (IMHO over 90% in United Kingdom) the design of the facility requires you to open doors inwards usually by pulling a handle.
The problem is obvious, whoever didn't wash his hands after using the toilette before you has touched that same handle passing germs and contamination onto that handle. In many cases the construction of the doors really requires you to grab the handle, unlike on the way in where you can simply push the door with a shoulder or feet.
Is there a reason for such design or is it just pure madness?
UPDATE 1: Please note that the door on my picture is transparent, allowing to see who is on the other side. It leads to a short dedicated corridor, not an open public space. Both attributes greatly reduce the chance of knocking a bypasser on either side of the door.
UPDATE 2: I am starting a bounty on this question to get more quality answers. So far all of the highly rated answers are based on assumptions and personal experience while they do not reference any resources or data.

Now that ballot initiatives targeting public employees' pensions have passed in San Diego and San Jose, state legislators and politicians in other cities may be contemplating similar efforts. But new data released this month should give them pause.
It turns out that so-called pension "reforms" will disproportionately affect Hispanic and non-white Californians, as well as women. In the long run, pension changes may cause these future retirees to be disadvantaged to such a degree that they require more government assistance in their old age, draining far more dollars from public coffers than can be saved today.
The data comes from the Federal Reserve, which this month released its annual Survey of Consumer Finances, for the 2010 calendar year. It shows that the current recession has hit various ethnicities far harder than whites. For example, while white families saw their wealth fall by 10 percent between 2007 and 2010, Hispanic families experienced a 26.8 percent plunge. That is something policymakers ought to consider, and answer for, when they contemplate additional reductions and changes to public employee retirement accounts.
The same is true with government-sponsored pension plans. If the police officers, teachers, social workers and road maintenance crews who make up the government workforce in California are required to migrate from defined-benefit pensions into accounts that look more like stock-market based 401(k)s, it means the state will be asking average working families to also serve as their own actuaries. Instead of protecting their retirement accounts in the CalPERS' system that has yielded 8.4 percent annual interest over the past two decades, they will be pushed into the kinds of risky accounts that suffered $2.8 trillion in losses nationwide between 2007 and 2008.
It's important to remember that teachers do not earn Social Security benefits, so they rely almost entirely on pensions through the California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) when they retire. And because California's teachers are mostly female, it means that women have more to lose if CalSTRS is pushed toward 401(k) style investments. Also, because women, on average, earn less than men and also outlive them, they are further disadvantaged by pension reforms that reduce the size of retirement accounts.
In the end, these workers will not have adequate retirement funds and in their older age will turn to the state for assistance.
The crux of the pension "reform" issue comes down to the economy and its ability to generate revenues to support government services. And here's the problem: in 2010 alone, retirement checks paid out by the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) were responsible for generating $26 billion in economic activity in our state and more than 90,000 jobs, according to research by CalPERS and the California State University.
That means, therefore, any structural changes to public employee pensions at the state level threaten a significant economic engine in our state, threaten jobs, and threaten to further reduce the revenues that flow into the state. For a state General Fund that is perpetually in deficit, reductions in pension payouts will only exacerbate the chronic imbalance.
Government pensions did not create the budget problems municipalities and states are currently experiencing. That's why the pension reform debate is not actually about budgets, rather it is about the working families who earn modest wages and retire on limited retirements. It is about the law enforcement officers, school employees, and municipal workers who not only keep our communities safe and our roads running smoothly, but whose wages stimulate our economy.

I like this gift guide...I can't wait to buy the 1st season of girls! I'm going to buy it for my best friend too! I love that tote too! A night out is the best gift of all!! =)
Ergo - BlogI am definitely going to try that avocado dressing (both for myself and as a gift!)- all friend gifts this year are DIY, and I have one friend who doesn't like homemade jam (who the heck doesn't like homemade jam???), so that avocado dressing would be PERFECT. Thanks.
All the other gifts are also nice ideas, like the knitting. Can't wait for your man gift guide- I just got married this summer and want to get my husband something great that wasn't on his list... I'm still looking around for some good ideas :)THANK YOU for providing a gift guide that isn't a zillion dollars for each gift--it's so nice to see so many options at a reasonable price tag.
i'd love to also suggest KIVA cards--this would be great for really any gift guide, male or female, and is a wonderful way to "give back" while still allowing some interaction on the part of the gift-receiver. i'm probably not making much sense, but a quick peek at the KIVA website should make things all clear! i've given these as gifts before, and it's very meaningful for the recipient. :)I just realized you never talk much about your best friend on this blog - just Lucy! Do you have a closest friend?
ReplyDeleteLovely post! God, it's so important to respect the lady friends in life and to treat them like GOLD. Especially the good ones. They really get you through the hard times!
emilyannestyle.comOooh this is a great list! Love the gold bangle and dinner date :)

10 Craft Beers That Aren't
There are the popular kids at Anheuser-Busch InBev
The queen bee of the craft beer set is the Brewers Association, the Denver-based industry trade group that brings together breweries, home brewers and local brewers guilds for cool parties such as the Great American Beer Festival and keeps track of growth within the industry. Oh, and it totally gets exclusive access to the industry slam book that dictates who is and isn't craft.
Boston Beer
But Red Hook and Widmer have decades-old craft brewing roots in the Pacific Northwest and produce less than 700,000 barrels of beer a year combined. Surely they, as members of the Craft Brew Alliance

Patient Information
Important Safety Information
- PHOTOFRIN® is contraindicated in patients with porphyria
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is contraindicated in patients with an existing tracheoesophageal or bronchoesophageal fistula
- PDT is contraindicated in patients with tumors eroding into a major blood vessel
- PDT is not suitable for emergency treatment of patients with severe acute respiratory distress caused by an obstructing endobronchial lesion because 40 to 50 hours are required between injection with PHOTOFRIN® and laser light treatment
- PDT is not suitable for patients with esophagealor gastricvarices, or patients with esophagealulcers >1 cm in diameter
Warnings and Precautions
- Do not initiate PHOTOFRIN® with PDT in patients with esophageal tumors eroding into the trachea or bronchial tree or bronchial wall because of the high likelihood of tracheoesophageal or bronchoesophageal fistula
- Gastrointestinal perforation can occur
- High risk of bleeding in patients with esophageal varices
- High risk for fatal massive hemoptysis with endobronchial tumors that are large, centrally located; cavitating; extensive, extrinsic to the bronchus
- All patients who receive PHOTOFRIN® will be photosensitive and must observe precautions to avoid exposure of skin and eyes to direct sunlight or bright indoor light for at least 30 days. Ocular sensitivity is also possible; instruct patients when out doors to edema, bronchostenosis wear dark sunglasses. See full Prescribing Information
- Allow 2-4 weeks between PDT and subsequent radiotherapy• Substernalchestpainmayoccuraftertreatmentbecause of inflammatory responses within the area of treatment
- Treatment-induced inflammation can cause airway obstruction. Administer with caution to patients with tumors in locations where treatment-induced inflammation can obstruct the main airway
- Patients with hepatic or renal impairment may need longer precautionary measures for photosensitivity• Thromboembolic events can occur following photodynamic therapy with PHOTOFRIN®
Adverse Reaction Profile
- Most toxicities associated with PHOTOFRIN® therapy are local effects seen in the area of illumination and occasionally in surrounding tissues and are characteristic of an inflammatory response
- All patients who receive PHOTOFRIN® will be photosensitive and must observe precautions listed in the Prescribing Information
- Photosensitivity reactions occurred in approximately 20% of cancer patients treated with PHOTOFRIN® in clinical studies
- Typically these reactions were mostly mild to moderate erythema but they also included swelling, pruritus, burning sensation, feeling hot, or blisters. In a single study of 24 healthy subjects, some evidence of photosensitivity reactions occurred in all subjects
- Other less common skin manifestations were also reported in areas where photosensitivity reactions had occurred, such as increased hair growth, skin discoloration, skin nodules, increased wrinkles and increased skin fragility. These manifestations may be attributable to a pseudoporphyria state (temporary drug-induced cutaneous porphyria)
- Conventional ultraviolet (UV) sunscreens will only protect against UV light-related photosensitivity and will be of no value in protecting against induced photosensitivity reactions caused by visible light
Most Common Adverse Reactions
The following adverse reactions were reported in >10% of patients:
- Esophageal Cancer: Anemia, pleuraleffusion, pyrexia, constipation, nausea, chestpain, pain, abdominal pain, dyspnoea, photosensitivity reaction, pneumonia, vomiting, insomnia, back pain, pharyngitis
- Obstructing Endobronchial Cancer: Dyspnea, photosensitivity reaction, hemoptysis, pyrexia, cough, pneumonia
- Superficial Endobronchial Tumors: Exudate, photosensitivity reaction, bronchial obstruction, edema, bronchostenosis

Jurors in the murder trial of Brett Seacat watched a video Thursday of the April 30, 2011, fire that quickly engulfed the upper story of his Kingman home, bursting through the windows on the back of the house before crawling up and over the rooftop.
They also heard two loud popping sounds come from the engulfed home, followed by more popping sounds, and a man could be heard saying "something's going off" and that there were "fireworks in the house."
Shawn Harbert testified he and a friend were walking on Pine Street in Kingman when they smelled smoke and saw the fire. He captured the blaze on video with his cellphone.

A Sedgwick County judge appeared to be teetering between prison and probation Thursday as he prepared to sentence a former Clearwater Middle School teacher for sexually abusing a 15-year-old former student.
In the end, District Judge Terry Pullman concluded "by the narrowest of margins" that Cathleen Balman, 40, would be less likely to re-offend if she were placed in a treatment program rather than be sent to prison for 34 months as prosecutors were recommending.
He placed Balman on probation and ordered her to have no contact with non-relatives under the age of 18.
Three people from North Hollywood, Calif., have been arrested in an alleged scheme in which semi-trailer loads of goods were stolen from companies in California and an attempt to steal a load of processed beef was made in southwest Kansas, U. S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Wednesday.
Two of the three people, Oganes Nagapetian, 53, and his wife, Larisa Nagapetian, 46, are scheduled to be arraigned on a federal indictment in the U.S. District Court in Wichita on June 4; the third defendant, Tigran Nagapetian, 50, a brother of Oganes Nagapetian, appeared Tuesday before a U.S. magistrate judge in Los Angeles. He also is scheduled to appear for arraignment in Kansas on June 4.
All three are charged in the Kansas federal indictment, Grissom said.
