About the programme
Do you want to prepare yourself for working in the real world as a medical practitioner in diverse cultural contexts and with different patient populations?
How about exploring a wide range of healing practices that include everything from shamanism and witchcraft to reproductive technologies and maternal health?
Would you like to have a chance to pursue a dissertation research project of your choice?
Want to immerse yourself in a different world of knowledge and understanding?
Then come and study the IBSc in Medical Anthropology and take a journey of discovery to look at medical training and what it means to be a doctor with fresh eyes.
This Integrated BSc is uniquely designed to provide Medical students with techniques for gaining cross cultural understanding through specially designed courses including 'Clinical Ethnography' and 'Anthropology for Medical Students' to provide them with life long learning skills that they can use throughout their medical career. Students will be taught key concepts in Medical Anthropology to examine how health and well being are socially and culturally constituted in contexts of cultural diversity.
We examine issues such as gender and the body, ritual and religion, new health technologies, global health politics, and barriers and obstacles to health and healing. Beyond this core syllabus, students are able to select from across the full range of disciplinary options in the topic ranging from social and cultural anthropology, evolutionary anthropology and human ecology.
Medical Anthropology at UCL provides a comprehensive and innovative teaching, learning and research environment with an active student society. The department offers one of the best and most exciting programmes of broad based anthropology for graduate and undergraduate study in the UK . We are committed to developing medical anthropology at the intersection of, and in dialogue with clinical practice, primary care, public health, psychiatry, demography, genomic science and technology.
Aims & objectives of core course teaching
- To examine the social and cultural context of health, well being and a variety of diverse medical practices from a cross cultural perspective
- To investigate the political, social, economic and practical dimensions of health care in clinical and non-clinical settings
- To explore health care delivery in international environments through critical examination of NGO work and health policy
- To consider the barriers and obstacles to health in a comparative way in to understand illness and disease experiences in the context of healing and curing especially in circumstances of cultural diversity
- To introduce students to relevant theories and methods within anthropology, including gender, class, kinship, the body, agency, risk, subjectivity and personhood
- To support student development of skills in critical evaluation of evidence and to encourage oral and written expressions of informed opinions about health as understood from both biomedical and nonbiomedical perspectives.
None, other than successful completion of years 1 and 2 of the MBBS programme. No previous academic knowledge of social anthropology is required, though an interest in experiencing ways of thinking beyond scientific biomedicine may be an advantage.
60 credits of compulsory subjects (ANTH0208, ANTH0182, ANTH0033), and a further 60 credits of the student's choice. The course ANTH0033 "Anthropology for Medical Students" is exclusive to the intercalated students taking IBSc Medical Anthropology. It is designed as a 'link course' to the other Anthropology options and focuses on those issues of particular interest to medical students. It is assessed through a dissertation on a subject of the students' choice. Most other courses are assessed by examination and/or essays.

Masterson may be ready to rejoin Tribe
KANSAS CITY -- Sinkerballer Justin Masterson has completed what could be his final step before rejoining the rotation.
On Friday night, Masterson made his second Minor League rehab appearance for Triple-A Columbus, logging 108 pitches in 6 2/3 innings against Norfolk. Prior to the outing, manager Terry Francona said the hope was that Masterson would now be ready to be activated from the 15-day disabled list and in line for his next start.
"We're hoping this is the last one," Francona said before the game against the Royals, a 6-4 loss. "I think we'd like him to kind of be ready to go. We'll see. We've got [Tim Belcher, a special assistant to baseball operations] there, and we'll kind of monitor things. We'll talk to Masty."
Masterson was not particularly sharp for Columbus, issuing six walks and ending with four strikeouts. He was charged with five runs, though three of them scored after he exited. The goal was to have him pitch deep into the game to test his right knee, and he accomplished that by working into the seventh.
Through 19 starts this season -- the last coming on July 7 -- Masterson went 4-6 with a 5.51 ERA, 93 strikeouts and 56 walks in 98 innings. As a first-time American League All-Star in 2013, he won 14 games, posted a 3.45 ERA and piled up 195 strikeouts in 193 innings.
Pitching coach Mickey Callaway said that Cleveland hopes that getting Masterson back to full strength and having Danny Salazar return to form can give the team a lift down the stretch.
"We'd like to get [Masterson] back in the rotation and pitching well," Callaway said. "If we can get him and Salazar going, we'd have a chance to make a run. They've both got to get going and pitch kind of like they did last year."

From one vegetarian to another...
So I have been a vegetarian for about 2.5 months and so far i just have been doing stirfried vegetables and sandwiches and stuff. I work just about every night around dinner time so I am not at home to do big dinners and have leftovers for the next day for lunches. And because of my working hours I dont really eat dinner at all, maybe a snack before and after but nothing really concrete.
Question: What would be a good thing to make a healthy and providing lunch that isnt super complex?
I find i have been getting headaches and lightheadedness since I have started this diet (or only noticed it really since I have started) and so I wonder if I am not getting enough of what i should be.
Also I will be moving out in about a month, is it harder or easier to have a vegetarian diet once you buy your own groceries and such?
You need to eat MORE. Try a wrap and load it up with tons of whatever you want. Get your tortila wrap of choice, then spread some hummus or baba ganoush on it and then add whatever salad style veggies you want. Then roll it up, stick a few toothpicks in it, so that when you slice it they do not unfold. VIOLA, instant sandwich.
I would prep aheand, just like Racheal Ray says. Chop a few veggies so that when you need to throw something together, they are already to go. And just start googling recipes, but put either the word vegna or vegetarin in front of said dish you are searching for. You will get tons of hits. And welcome to the vegan world and to Vegweb!
I would say it's easier because you can buy whatever you want to eat. Try planning your meals in advance. And cook on your days off. Trying taking a multivitamin to help supplement some things you are missing until you can get into the groove of things. I tend to eat a lot of potatoes when I'm in a hurry, raw veggies and fruit, sandwhiches which you mentioned, salad, vegan pizza, and pasta. You can make a huge pot of spaghetti to practically live off of for two or three days.

Why Madison Presidential Listening Tour: Leadership U
"Why Madison?"
President's Journal
Leadership U
Feb. 2, 2013
Students spend a Saturday reflecting on leadership
Today, we're at Grafton-Stovall Theatre for Leadership U, where student organization leaders come together for an all-day event to learn about leadership together. We spent an hour together for another great "Why Madison?" We couldn't ask for a more engaged group than these student leaders who are involved in Leadership U. I just wish I could have spent another two hours with them. They had so many good ideas and are so enthusiastic. This whole idea of Leadership U reflects what JMU does best in terms of the student experience. These students are the leaders of our student organizations across campus. They're here on a Saturday—all day—to think and reflect about leadership. It's great preparation for them, not just while they're here serving in these organizations, but for the rest of their lives. We hear from a lot of our alumni and from employers that they love how JMU graduates come out with these leadership and teamwork skills, in part developed through programs exactly like this.
Activities are such an important part of the Madison education
JMU's curriculum and co-curriculum are so complementary. I think it's really important when we talk about the educational experience to think holistically, about what happens inside the classroom and also what happens outside the classroom. Both of those things are valuable and important and they do fit together. With an event like today, you have people here working together and working on issues that they might also discuss in class, but today makes it real. Student organizations give them great experience in terms of being actual leaders, making decisions, solving problems, and dealing with ethical dilemmas. A lot of them raised their hands when I asked how many volunteer in the community. Many of these student organizations have a community engagement component. These are real life skills that these students are going to need to succeed, so I think those pieces fit together. It's all a part of the education we provide.
Students were appreciative of research opportunities
It was really terrific to hear from a number of students about their personal experiences working directly with the faculty on research—who have published papers and been to conferences with faculty members—and these are undergraduates at JMU. Some of them spoke of the fact that they had friends at other schools who really were somewhat jealous and wished they could have had those sorts of opportunities. Those friends might be at big research universities, but there research opportunities are closed off to a lot of undergraduates. Here at JMU, students have the best of both worlds in a very real sense because it's a small enough school that we offer that faculty-student interaction and engagement, but big enough that we have these cutting-edge, world-class researchers who are solving real-world problems, who are nationally and internationally recognized, and who work directly with our students. Those are the types of faculty members we attract. We're very proud of those professors, and it's great to hear these affirmations. I told the students, "Please thank your faculty members because we want them to realize how important that is to us and how valuable that service is."
Our liberal arts-research hybrid engages with ideas and with the world
Having come from a small liberal arts college (Swarthmore, which had about 1300 students at the time), I loved the faculty-student interaction. I loved the sense of community. As an educator, I have been looking for a place that offered that family feeling. At the same time, JMU also provides the tremendous array of opportunities of different majors, different disciplines, and professional programs that you'd only typically find at a research-intensive university. And yet, we're neither a liberals arts college nor a research-intensive university. We're not trying to be the next Swarthmore or the next William & Mary or the next University of Virginia or Virginia Tech. We take elements that you see at those schools, but then we combine them into something unique and special of our own. When we think about the Engaged University—the idea of being engaged with ideas and the world--that's a combination going forward that can be a real hallmark for JMU and a distinctive niche in American higher education.
Transfers bring a variety of perspectives to our student body
We often hear about the experiences of our students who came to JMU as freshmen. It was terrific to hear several transfer students speak up today and talk about why they chose JMU, what mattered to them, and how they got acclimated into this community. I am very curious always to hear about the experience of transfer students. Some of them mentioned, for example, that they came from small liberal arts colleges and transferred into JMU. We have a lot of other transfer students from community colleges. The question we need to ask ourselves is, "How do we make JMU a welcoming environment and experience for them?" What I heard today is that we've been doing pretty well on this front because we're intentional about it. We try to make sure that the transfers are brought into the community from Day 1. They have an orientation. They meet people. They jump with both feet into the campus community and student organizations. Some of them mentioned that they could get involved here. Their Madison Experience has been more than just coming and going from campus without interacting with people. They can spend a lot of time interacting with their peers. That's part of what made it a great experience for them. It's always important for us to hear from transfer students because—having been at other types of institutions—they bring a special lens to JMU.
Students are asking what they can do to encourage diversity on campus
I think is important to recognize that our alumni and faculty and students are asking questions about and desiring a greater diversity at JMU. We heard it here again today. They recognize the educational value of diversity and its importance when you're preparing students for the global economy. I was especially struck when the students asked, "What can we do to help as we think of diversity going forward?" That's a great question for all of us to be asking. We have a Diversity Task Force that I've appointed that's actively working on these issues now. I'm hoping that these student leaders will give us feedback about how they can serve as ambassadors for us—for example, about how they might go back into high schools and middle schools around the state or the country to encourage younger students to think about college in general and JMU in particular, and to help these younger students know what it will take to come to a place like JMU. Our own students can help make sure that students of all backgrounds recognize that Madison is a welcoming environment for them. I think our students can be great assets in this work and I was delighted to hear them raise it today.
GenEd is giving students different perspectives
I was delighted to hear how open and receptive these students leaders are to GenEd. We hear that as some students are going through GenEd, they ask, "Why do I have to spend my time taking these General Education courses?" This is especially true when students believe that they are fairly focused already on a particular career, major or discipline. But what we hear from alumni is that when they look back, they realize how valuable those GenEd courses were, even if they didn't realize it at the time. Why? They are developing critical thinking skills. They're seeing issues from different perspectives and are encouraged to analyze problems from different lenses. They develop written and oral communication skills, all of which are incredibly valuable no matter what field they pursue. What we hear from employers is how much more valuable our graduates are because of this experience. JMU produces leaders in different fields with a broad background that goes beyond technical expertise in any one field. They know how to solve problems. They know how to work in teams with people who have different perspectives and different strengths. It turns out that GenEd is great preparation for life. And it was great to hear these students so open to it now.
Professors come to JMU to teach, and students appreciate it
It's also a rare opportunity to be taking those kinds of courses with doctoral faculty at this level. It's a great experience here to know that you're learning from the best, and not just having graduate students or TAs the way you might at other schools where you never interact with the full-time faculty member. At JMU, faculty want to teach. They want to interact directly with students, and particularly with undergraduates. It is a great experience. I'm not sure students fully appreciate it sometimes until after they graduate, when they can look back at the accomplishments of those faculty and what they've learned from them. It is one of our core strengths.
Nearly every student in the room had a one-on-one with a faculty member
I asked for a show of hands today to learn how many students have had a one-on-one encounter with a faculty member this semester, and it was nearly universal. Nearly every hand went up. And the semester is just four weeks old. I like to see that. It's a good reality check. We talk a lot about the fact that we value faculty-student interaction. We try to keep the faculty-student ratio at a level that makes it possible, but it's always good to confirm that it's happening as we've gotten bigger. Our faculty and our students are working together, and those interactions are changing lives.
Students ask how to take that Madison feeling with them when they graduate
Lastly, we heard from students who described the community and family feeling that we've heard others talk about, and the difference it makes to them. It was one of those things I had certainly read about—that JMU had a sense of family and community, that people opened doors for each other—but you're always a little skeptical until you actually experience it for yourself. I'm always interested in hearing students confirm that as well. It makes for a community where people feel valued and respected, and part of something larger than themselves. That sense of a true learning community enriches the educational experience. When you're part of a community, you realize you're all interconnected. The great thing we heard today is that our students are thinking, "How do I take that with me as I leave JMU, as I go out into the "real world?" That's what I hope our alumni and our students will do—to demonstrate and personify that "JMU way" out in the world. That's how we can make a difference. That's how we can make an impact in our communities. There is a better way, I think, for us to treat each other in society. I think our students can be great role models in that respect.

Not sure what gauge this is - looks like 50 cm, but very unusual if so in US.
Moderator: GnATTERbox Moderators
In 1879, the Coronado Railroad, a 20 inch, baby gauge, was constructed to link the base of the Longfellow Mine incline to the smelter. In 1880, a steam engine replaced mule power. The railroad continued to operate until 1922. In1882 these operations were sold to a Scottish firm, the Arizona Copper Company.

Unrepentant Reparations Offender Catherine Burke Continues Trans Atlantic Slave Trade (TAST) Holocaust Reparations Denial Despite Divine Racial Karma Killing Daughter
"It was only the Universe's reaching down and, through the Divine Racial Karma edict it has issued against whites, killing of her vile, eighteen year old daughter Saskia, that apparently moved mom Catherine "Cat" Burke to begin to speak publicly on race – not her race's historic and ongoing racial terrorism against blacks and against the planet's other members from the people of the family of color. It is tragic," Southern California Black Foot Soldier Amistad Cruze is quoted as saying.
"Most tragic, however, is that her first apparent discourses on race are in the vain of her kind's forefathers. They are: full of denial of responsibility for her kind's generational racial crimes against blacks, in denial of the Universal force of the Divine Racial Karma that took her daughter's life and missing the asking of forgiveness of her racial sins through public reparations pledges.
"It is impressive that even in Divine Race Karma's great visitation upon her daughter that evil could remain so deeply entrenched within her. Yes, it is a terrible thing to behold."
An excerpt of Catherine's anti black screed is published below:
My name is Catherine Burke. I am a VICTIM of a Violent HATE Crime! Our 18 year old daughter Saskia was viciously, violently stabbed to death here in our home December 20, 2011 by William Gary Simpson! Simpson grew up as a friend of our son's, a friend of our family – we'd known him over 10 years! What we didn't know until after his attack, is that he was raised by a black supremacist! (And) on December 20, 2011William Gary Simpson came into our home that morning, with the intention of killing my husband and three children, myself, and the 7 other children staying with us over Christmas break. Why? Because – he could not stand for such an 'inferior race' to have so much love in their home! He could not tolerate my children, and all the other children, being loved so unconditionally, the way he wanted his 'superior black parents' to love him! And so, he planned for almost one year… He 'practiced', not only by taking self defense, sword fighting and martial arts classes at college – but by killing! And then he came with an entire duffle bag filled with knives, watching our home for over 2 weeks while hiding out in a nearby foreclosed home, waiting for the optimum moment – to annihilate us all!
"Simpson is a continued threat, every day he lives… To be permitted to communicate with the outside world, because as we VICTIMS KNOW – murderers have their RIGHT to their weekly phone calls to ANYWHERE… Something I discovered in April when Simpson called OUR house from jail! Simpson has the RIGHT to contact OTHER BLACK SUPREMACISTS (http://nationalblackfootsoldiernetwork.blogspot.com, http://ghettobraggingrightsmagazine.wordpress.com), who can come to kill us, whether it be to remove the witnesses for him, or to finish what he started… Our REALITY, is that at any moment, it could all happen again!"
"Mrs. Burke writes denying Divine Racial Karma alone is responsible for atrocities that befall today's whites. The NBFSN can in no way control the forces of Divine Racial Karma & does not encourage violence against whites for unrestituted for gener-ationaal racial atrocities they have committed & commit against blacks & other groups in the family of the people of color." NBFSN Counter Terrorism Minister Malachi Louis says.

I am a prisoner at the California Institution for Women in Chino, where I have now been for 25 years. It is a hard and often cold world. On rare occasions, I would see dogs outside the fence, perhaps a stray or one belonging to one of the many dairies surrounding the prison. These sightings brought me both sadness and joy. How I longed to touch and be touched by these creatures, a joy that lived in my memories of "Before …"
Then one day, running late from lunch to my prison job, I turned the corner and there, right on the sidewalk, was a miracle: a lady in a wheelchair with a big fluffy Golden Retriever at her side. I stopped in my tracks. Who was she? Could I perhaps touch the dog? Would I get in trouble if I moved closer? A thousand thoughts flew through my mind while my feet moved forward of their own volition.
I stopped a few feet away and stared, awestruck. Other women stood close by in the same pose. Finally, someone asked if she could pet the dog. The woman in the wheelchair nodded and we approached ever so slowly.
When it was my turn, I went down on one knee and reached out, barely touching his fur with my fingertips. As I slowly stroked him, I felt his breathing, his soft, sun-warmed fur, and silently whispered a humble prayer of gratitude for this gift. When he turned his trusting brown eyes on me, the tears flowed down my face. I realized that the other women were crying too. I looked up and saw several prison administrators, utterly baffled, looking upon the scene: a lady in a wheelchair and a dog surrounded by a bunch of "lifers"—by society's definition, the "most dangerous prisoners"—on their knees, crying as they reverently touched the dog. This was my introduction to Carol R. and Marty of the Canine Support Teams.
Sign up for our newsletter and stay in the know.
Since that day, the California Institution for Women, in conjunction with Canine Support Teams, has started a Prison Pup Program inside the prison. We raise and train dogs to be assistants to physically challenged people. But that statement of goals doesn't begin to touch what the program has accomplished. The unforeseen peripheral results of this program have been nothing short of miraculous in the lives of the women touched by these dogs.
I have seen women without hope or joy light up at the sight and touch of these wonders. I have seen angry, bitter women come out of their darkness to nurture and shower love on a dog. I have seen guilt-ridden and shamed women rise up to give their all to a dog who will give back to a life. For so very many of us, this act of atonement lifts some of the burden of guilt. I have seen even the hardest of gang-bangers soften and break into laughter at the antics of a dog. I have seen the shattered, battered, abused and damaged venture out of their isolation to reach out to a dog.
These are the things I see. What I know is the miracle these dogs have become in someone's life after they leave us. We sometimes get pictures and updates of the dogs we have raised. To know that a child now has not only a helpmate but a companion—a friend to give her a measure of independence impossible before—is a gift to us beyond words. To know that the creature we taught and loved so dearly for a time has moved on to give such a grand gift; to know that we are, in part, responsible for this gift, is beyond expression.
We all suffer from the guilt and shame of what put us here, and this is a mighty and tangible atonement. A little part of us goes out with each dog, the burden lightens, joy grows, pride blossoms. Gratitude and humility suffuse us. As a trained and disciplined service dog emerges from a romping pup, a new, stronger, gentler and loving woman is born as well.

Would you leave your teenager with a key to your liquor cabinet? Does anyone even have a liquor cabinet anymore?
Well, the state of California is hoping to rein in minors walking out of grocery stores with alcohol thanks to self-checkout aisles.
The state Senate approved a bill that would require retailers to process alcohol purchases through the traditional checkout system only. The measure now goes to Governor Schwarzenegger for approval.
Supporters say it will cut down on alcohol purchases by minors.
Opponents, including the California Grocers Association, say self-checkout machines already alert store employees to check ID when a customer scans an alcoholic beverage. They say there's no evidence the technology has allowed minors to sneak through.

On January 6, Mark Bittman offered readers of the Dining & Wine section of the New York Times his opinion regarding the "Out" and "In" pantry staples of 2009. My contributions to the world of writing about food are mere blips on the radar in comparison to Bittman's, so I was highly interested to see what he had to say. As with anything else, I'm never going to learn anything unless I begin to question what's already out there and to form some opinions of me own. I've documented my reactions to Bittman's list here.
Instead, Bittman suggests making fresh bread crumbs and croutons. The idea of making fresh bread crumbs is really appealing because you can season them any way you want or make them from bread you have on hand. I made fresh bread crumbs for use in my Eggplant-Stuffed Mushrooms, so I hear what Bittman's saying. However, if I'm severely pressed for time, I'd probably still reach for my canister of packaged bread crumbs.
This makes complete sense. Of course, if left to sit unused, dried spices will lose their flavor and, in some cases, their color. Although Bittman recommends tossing spices that are a year old, I've heard that dried spices should be replaced in six-month intervals. Which is it? Sure, the "In" to this "Out" is the recommendation to use fresh spices. For me, that would be tough since I'm on a strict budget lately. But I can dream about the possibility of having fresh spices at my fingertips someday, can't I? Ahhh, what a lovely dream...
Bittman asks readers to consider making the switch from canned beans to dried beans since they are "more economical, better tasting, space saving and available in far more varieties." While all of those reasons may be true, most people just don't have the time required to prepare dried beans before cooking. I know I certainly don't! I've only ever cooked with dried beans a few times, so I'm not inclined to forego the convenience of using canned beans just yet.
While I've questioned some of Bittman's suggestions, it looks like I agree with his list for the most part. I don't see anything wrong with taking a shortcut here or there when necessary, but if you have the time to devote to cooking from scratch and/or with real/genuine ingredients, do it. Both you and your food will benefit from it!
I'm dying to know, how you feel about Bittman's "Outs"? Or about my reactions to those "Outs". So, leave a comment and share your thoughts!

Verizon FiOS, the shining hope in cable and Internet providers, is finally rolling out an update to their guide. The new release, Version 1.9 of the Interactive Media Guide, will bring an updated (and finally widescreen!) guide, an all new search, DVR enhancements, better support for 3DTVs and more. Not everyone will be getting the snazzy new guide (Motorola 7100 and 7232 set-top boxes as well as Cisco HD capable devices will though) so be sure to see if your box is capable.
Also! It's only currently rolling out in Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany and Harrisburg. Other markets will get their fill in the next months. I've been an admirer of FiOS TV from afar, this makes it look even more delicious and me even more jealous. [Verizon FiOS]

Më 21 nëntor do të mbahet konkursi muzikor për fëmijë. Mishela Rapo 14-vjeçarja nga Tirana do të marrë pjesë në "Junior Eurovision" me një këngë që flet për paqen dhe që titullohet "Damdaje"
"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"

The following statement below was originally published by The Pyongyang Project:
Response to BBC Panorama Documentary on North Korea
April 16, 2013
Recent news surrounding the dispute between John Sweeney, the London School of Economics (LSE), and the Panorama documentary on North Korea offers us an opportunity to evaluate the different ways we as foreigners can choose to approach North Korea.
On the one hand, we can follow Mr. Sweeney's lead and adopt the attitude of an investigative reporter in search of ever more astonishing reminders that North Korea is indeed a whole lot different from "us"—and not in the good way. The depiction of North Korea as a nation of irate soldiers, inflammatory propaganda and oppressive brainwashing is hackneyed and simplistic at best, and both irresponsible and harmful at worst.
Mr. Sweeney and his crew visited North Korea as part of a highly restricted tour that over forty thousand other foreigners take every year. It is entirely naïve for Mr. Sweeney and his crew to assume that observations from this standard tour, specifically intended for foreign tourists, allowed them to draw meaningful conclusions about daily life in North Korea. To suggest as much, on a national stage, is extremely misleading. In an interview with the BBC, Mr. Sweeney claimed that North Korea is "more like Hitler's Germany than other state in this world…extraordinarily scary, dark and evil." This is a prime example of how simplistic and sensational characterizations absorb public attention away from the far more complex challenge of how to encourage productive engagement.
Criticism of Mr. Sweeney's actions—that he placed LSE students at potential risk while also damaging LSE's academic credibility—has been given much attention in the media and rightfully so. It should also be noted that concocting the identity of a professor and filming a documentary without permission might well have had repercussions in North Korea as well. By betraying the trust of their North Korean hosts, Mr. Sweeney and his crew unwittingly put their tour guides in personal danger. Mr. Sweeney's claims that his actions "only deceived the government" are erroneous and betray his overly simplistic understanding of North Korea; it is false to again assume the "Government" is one cohesive unit.
For those of us who have spent years working with various North Korean ministries, bureaus, companies, institutions, committees, and universities, we understand that organizations operate with relative independence; the only group deceived would have been the tourism operator and agent with whom they arranged their tour. Should the Panorama documentary provoke negative backlash against North Korea, these tour guides may bare the brunt of the blame and the punishment. Considering the extent to which Mr. Sweeney compromised the safety of both his hosts and fellow travellers, it is disappointing that his ruse failed to reveal anything more constructive.
There are more creative ways to approach North Korea. Through our organization we have been working regularly with North Korean students, professors and professionals for the last five years; bringing them abroad for educational enrichment programs, and organizing exchange activities with them in North Korea. We have also brought many Western students to North Korea, South Korea and Northeast China to participate in study tours, language learning programs, and athletic exchanges. What we see is the dedication our North Korean students have for their studies, waking up everyday at six in the morning to prepare for class, asking for extra classroom time and homework to reinforce their lessons, making the most of the opportunity to study abroad under foreign professors. What we do is bring together different viewpoints of Chinese, South Korean, North Korean, and Western professors and practitioners to examine the issues in Korea from as many angles and standpoints as possible. The result: extreme complexity, high emotions, and a very human will to empathize with one another. It is time to be responsible and act constructively; and to stop using the misfortune of others as an entertaining horror show.
Here in Canada alone, there are universities and non-profit organizations implementing educational exchange projects to train North Korean students and professors in economics and humanities. There are also organizations working actively to provide humanitarian assistance to people throughout the North Korean countryside. Can Mr. Sweeney's eight days looking at the country from a very limited lens rife with preconceived notions and half-baked analysis shed as much light on the reality of life in North Korea as years of on the ground experience?
In the face of heightened geopolitical tension the last thing the world needs is more fodder for the fire. With the increased media scrutiny, Mr. Sweeney has a unique opportunity to shift focus away from the customary narrative of North Korea as an irascible pariah state and elicit conversation on what can be done to make things better.

Quick someone apply it to the Forumites!
Who could be the sarcastic one though?
By the way this is LA Commie.
Tessa is in no way the athlete.
Amaya is the one who is always smiling :p
I object to calling David funny...
Tess... well... debatable... Mike... kinda not feeling it... not since the last few chapters...
Mike? the good guy?
Haha no
David is funny.
David is the best thing to happen to comedy, ever.
Put mike as athlete, and McCAIN AS THE GOOD GUY
i really.. disagree with this.
i really have to agree with Obi.
I am disappoint. :[
Lots of wrong ones here IMO.
Jess? Pinky-swear friend? No way. I'd put Rachel as the one who's always smiling. Sue should be the political guru and Amaya should be the good friend.
Wait... no mcCain? this is mutiny!
I miss McCain...he needs mroe screen time. I feel this is fairly accurate to a degree.
But mike as the good guy? I mean, yea i like him and i relate...but really? Not in the last few chapters. id say no
LOL everyone be bitchiiin
I think it's fine other than Tess being athletic!
Abbey=the one you can count on
If someone listens to Commie and does this for the forumites...DIBS ON THE FLIRT! *brick'd*
Mike, the good guy, funny
I object to saying that you actually read the comic.
Argh, since when has it become so damn popular to dislike Mike??
He's been there for Lucy years and years, he saved her life, took her abuse with a smile, he was there for all of his friends, he cared. And now that he stands up for himself on a topic important to him - now that he tries to become more that he was, while still remain himself and still be there for his friends.. now everyone hits on him?
Not fair!
humm.......i like it
political guru should be McCain!
geez you guys complain alot i agree with Carma

I am disappointed with Mani Ratnam. Guru turns out to be a lackluster, slow-paced and very predictive movie. The latter part of the movie turns slow and quite boring. The songs were not spectacular either.
But that's not why I didn't like the movie. I didn't like the movie for the message it conveys- Do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it is the corrupt or illegal means. The message is dangerous and it epitomizes the attitudes of the new generation of India- inimical to itself. When a poll was conducted if the Indian youth would resort to the methods employed by a scandalous stockbroker to earn the 'success', majority of those who polled said a resounding 'yes'. When I saw that result in a magazine few years ago, I couldn't believe it. India has changed. It has changed for good in many ways. And it has changed for the worse in many ways. The Indian youth has wrong role models and that's not a good development.
While I expected the protagonist to be punished for his illegal practices, the movie condones, accepts and legitimizes those actions. Such condoning, then accepting and then legitimizing all pervading corrupt practices leads to institutionalizing them forever. The present India needs to moves away from doing that- we need to move away from corruption that seems to touch every Indian soul. We need to say what is right and follow it, however hard that path may be. We need to know what is wrong and discard it, however hard that path may be.
Babudom, corruption, untouchability, casteism, nepotism, dynastic politics, etc, are all bad things of India. Legitimizing those practices perpetuates them. This movie does the same.
Should judiciary be influenced by public opinion? I think NOT. In this movie, the judiciary falls for the applause and approval of the corrupt protagonist and basically gives him a clean chit. I came out of the movie with a heavy feeling. What has become of us? Why are we rationalizing and explaining away the wrong acts as if we are victims of this system? What Guru Bhai does is plain wrong. Just because the system is wrong, we cannot use subversive tactics to undermine it and capitalize on it, to reap rewards from it.
Just because the tax system in India is fallible, should we stop paying taxes or evade taxes using 'smart' techniques? Should we disobey traffic laws just because they are not perfect? Our corporate laws are not perfect. I face these imperfections everyday in my life. We all get ample opportunities to easily subvert the system, go around it, to basically reap the bounties. That's not right. We need examples of heroes who have done it right in spite of the flawed system. Not the examples of those who have 'smartly' outmaneuvered it.

A Little History on Rosinski Furniture Co.'s Co-Owners [BUFFALO: THEN AND NOW]
The internet doesn't hold much information about the Rosinski Furniture Co. But a trip through Google's search results does reveal a bit about the stores' owners!
Rosinki Furniture Co. operated out of two locations: 760 Fillmore Ave. in the Broadway shopping district (left), and 697 Ridge Rd. out in Lackawanna (right).
The buildings -- and the areas they're in -- are very different today, but you can still spy some leftover touches (the shape of the entryways, the three top windows at the Lackawanna location).
Based on messages in online forums, Rosinski Furniture Co. was owned by Henry and Adolf Rosinski (brothers? Cousins? Not sure). A Polish cabinet-maker, Adolf moved to Buffalo in 1889, opened his own hardware store in 1911, and then -- at some later date -- founded Rosinski Furniture Co. A 2004 post on Geanology.com notes that Adolf's grandsons were still running the Fillmore Avenue location.
Henry Rosinski is more mysterious, at least online; however, his wife's resume is quite impressive. Marcella Rosinski, who passed away last October at the age of 92, was a lawyer -- one of only three women in her graduating class at Cornell Law School in the early 1940s, and one of the first female lawyers at Phillips Lytle. Her Buffalo News obituary notes that Henry died in 1982.

If it feels like you've seen this headline before, that's because you have.
Yes, another Buccaneer had a run-in with police Monday. This time, it was defensive end Alex Magee, who was cited by Tampa police after an officer allegedly found a small amount of marijauna in Magee's car during a traffic stop.
We're not going to get preachy here, because this is far from the most egregious offense an NFL player has been accused of. But what's important here is the context. The Bucs are under tremendous pressure to erase the appearance that theirs is a team with a discipline problem.
The questions are more than fair. This is the fourth member of the organization to find himself in trouble with police since March, beginning with pro scouting coordinator Shelton Quarles (DUI), cornerback Aqib Talib (aggravated assault with a deadly weapon) and coaching assistant Jay Kaiser (DUI). Combined with a series of arrests and troubles last year that include the felony drug arrest of former tight end Jerramy Stevens and the one-year drug suspension of safety Tanard Jackson, and it's not hard to see where the reputation comes from.
The point is, this was a very bad time for Magee -- a promising but still marginal player -- to have this happen. To say that people associated with the franchise are going to be on a short leashes probably goes without saying. Will Magee be cut once the lockout is lifted and NFL teams can resume making roster moves? Well, that's far from a given.
But don't be surprised if the Bucs, at some point, start cracking down in a more public fashion. They know fans are watching. And, more important, so is commissioner Roger Goodell.

bother (one's) (pretty little) head about (something)
bother (one's) (pretty little) head about (something)
To worry or concern oneself with something. Often used in the negative to encourage someone not to worry. When the adjectives "pretty little" are used before "head," the phrase can become patronizing or derisive. I think this issue will resolve itself quickly, so I'm not going to bother my head about it. Oh, don't you bother your pretty little head about the chaos in the kitchen—go back to watching TV.
bother one's (pretty little) head about someone or something
Rur. to worry about something. (Stereotypically polite Southern talk to a woman; often said facetiously or patronizingly.) Now, don't bother your pretty little head about all this. Don't bother your head about me.

Notes from SDSU football Spring Practice No. 1
Let's face it.
Trying to judge anything from Day 1 of spring football practice is like trying to size up a person based on the color of their shirt -- it's a pointless effort. Personnel groups will change, and the players will knock off some rust as we progress through the next month.
Still, there are some nuggets to be gleaned from the first day of spring football
1. Center lost, center found?
Alec Johnson and Jimmy Miller were No. 1 and 2, respectively at center last season, and Johnson was the anchor of the offensive line for four years. But Monday at practice, Zack Dilley was starting at center. The No. 1 offensive line from the first practice appeared to be as follows:
- LT: Bryce Quigley (SR, 6-5, 295)
- LG: Japheth Gordon (SR 6-3, 295)
- C: Zack Dilley (JR 6-5, 295)
- RG: Nico Siragusa (R-FR, 6-5, 315)
- RT: Terry Poole (SR 6-5, 300)
Dilley played right tackle last season, but Rocky Long said after practice that Dilley's move to center isn't all that drastic because he's gotten some reps at the position before. Apparently, the coaches were grooming him to eventually play the center position.
Also, Nico Siragusa looks pretty strong in the right guard position Nik Embernate excelled for so long. The Mater Dei product was so game-ready coming out of high school that the coaches considered playing him in 2012. He worked with the travel team for the first half of the season before the coaches decided to just preserve his eligibility when it became clear toward the end of the year that they wouldn't really need his services.
2. QBs -- Hot, not and everything in between
As expected, Adam Dingwell returns as the starter, but he doesn't have a lock on the position.
"I think right now, Adam is the guy, and somebody has got to beat him out," said new offensive coordinator Bob Toledo. "He is the incumbent, but you have five other guys behind him competing. And six quarterbacks is too many, but we're giving them all a chance right now. Eventually we'll cut back and start giving more reps to people who are going to play."
Toledo said he'd like to get out of spring with a starter at quarterback, but added that he's not opposed to going into the fall with two guys battling for the starting job if the competition level is close enough.
And yes, the Aztecs have SIX quarterbacks on the roster at the moment. Here's the rundown:
SR Jake Bernards, JR Adam Dingwell, SO Chad Jeffries, R-FR Matt Morin, JR Quinn Kaehler and FR Chase Favreau.
Of the Dingwell challengers, Jeffries and Morin looked sharp Monday. Kaehler is a walk-on transfer from Diablo Valley College, while Favreau is a greyshirt who was originally part of the 2012 recruiting class. From the looks of Monday's practice, both newcomers are still trying to get their sea legs under them.
3. Defensive domination
Even though they were not in pads on Monday, the linebackers looked good.
Really good.
Jake Fely and Nick Tenhaeff both look as if they've packed on several pounds of muscle since the end of last season. And Derek Largent just looks huge, as usual.
Micah Seau was running with the twos at the middle linebacker position. Also with the twos -- Vaness Harris and Josh Gavert.
The defense returns nine of 11 starters from last year, sans the two cornerbacks, Leon McFadden and Josh Wade.
J.J. Whittaker and Pierre Romain played first string cornerback Monday, and Whittaker looked particularly good, intercepting one pass and batting at a couple more. First time in a while that he's been healthy after an unlucky spell with two knee injuries and one shoulder injury that have kept him confined to the injured list for the last three years.
David Lamar and Damontae Kazee were running with the twos at corner, while Stan Sedberry (who also appears to have added some impressive bulk) was the backup Aztec safety behind Nat Berhe.

To mark the end of Bill Manhire's directorship of the International Institute of Modern Letters, Victoria University Press have released his new Selected Poems, about a decade after his previous collected works.
This is the most gorgeous book of poetry I have held in a long time: hardback, beautiful paper stock, an internal design that allows the poems breathing space, a font that doesn't distract and Ralph Hotere's elegant drawing of Manhire on the cover.
Manhire is one of the standout poets of his generation - not beholden to trends, a prodigious reader of the poetry of others, with an ear attuned to the wide stretch of the world we inhabit. The poetic result is irresistible.
The selection of 104 poems takes you from Manhire's youthful love of words and life to his most recent engagement with similar things.
Several things have accompanied him in this poetic passage: mysteriousness, musicality, offbeat humour, surprise, gracefulness, graciousness and heart. How these elements work their way into his poems has changed a little over time, but they have stuck.
The musicality of the poems catches the reader first. It is as though the words are a score with infectious rhythms and harmonies always linked to the everyday, which also mimic the way music works its magic beyond words. His words tap their meaning upon your tingling skin.
In the early poems, you find a bare bones kind of music that makes sweet echoes. So in Love Poem (the first in the book), you fall upon "bends", then in the next line "quietens", or "tongue" and in the same line "song".
In 1950s, a poem in Manhire's most recent collection, the musical choices transform a list of mundane things into things that exude poetry. As the poetic magic kicks in, you absorb the music, the nostalgic flare, the autobiographical narrative, the childhood roller coaster:
"The Famous Five. The Secret Seven.
Tarzan of the Apes. My idea of Heaven.
The empty sky. Haere mai.
My View-Master. Sticking plaster.
My Go outside and play. My Anzac Day."
In Erebus Voices, it is a music that profoundly moves you. Manhire has adopted the voice of the mountain followed by the voice of the dead. The mountain's couplets are linked by the simplest of rhymes and the dead by simple repetition - as though this is no occasion for musical cunning.
"I am here beside my brother, Terror.
I am the place of human error."
The second thing that captures is the way the poems are saturated in love. Manhire withholds much - his private life, his domestic life - but intimate details glitter like shards, frequently caught in the mystery and the questions (I love his new The Question Poem).
The arrival of children coincides with the arrival of crayons. The Caravan is not simply transcribing domestic life. There are family details (photographs, conversations, singing), but then the poem tilts into the gaps of mystery and what the poet holds back: "Now/ the words are largely lost in song, and song is lost/ inside the children."
There are so many poems to love in this book - poems that favour found language, anecdote, dialogue, story, other characters as well as the music, mystery and ever-present love. Manhire has written a handful of remarkable poems that can stand as flagship poems of our times. The extraordinary Hotel Emergencies is one such example.
One quibble - it would be useful to have the dates of his books along with the titles in the contents page.
It is a joy to read a Manhire poem. You need to linger and let the words wash through you as you accumulate intricate and subtle delights. If Manhire's poems are discoveries in the writing, they are discoveries in the reading. If you have never bought a book of poetry make this your first. Selected Poems is significant, and utterly satisfying.

Rippin off military widows is criminal.
MetLife, Prudential and six other insurance companies have really screwed the pooch…and themselves if Andrew Cuomo knows wtf he is talking about. The following quote from Robert Gates…
"Until today, I actually believed that the families of our fallen heroes got a check for the full amount of their benefit,"
…Should really piss-the-fuck-off every single person that breathes. If NY AG Andy Cuomo is correct, this shit should be criminal:
The attorney general's office said it appears some insurers tell families of fallen military personnel that policy payouts will be placed in an interest-bearing account. But the bulk of the interest benefits the insurers, and the cash is not placed in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Cuomo's office said.
"It is shocking and just plain wrong for these multinational life insurance companies to pocket hundreds of millions in profits that really belong to those who have lost family members and have already suffered immensely," Cuomo said.
His office said insurers place cash in their corporate accounts, reportedly earning up to 4.8 percent interest while paying families as little as 0.5 percent interest.(emphasis mine)
Subpoenas have been served on eight insurance companies — Prudential Financial Inc., MetLife Inc., Genworth Financial Inc., UnumProvident Corp., Northwestern Mutual, Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, New York Life Insurance Co., and the MONY Life Insurance Co. — though the entire life insurance industry is under investigation, according to the attorney general's office.
I am hoping this isn't a bullshit political move by Cuomo, who is running for NY Governor. I hope to hell he is being honest on this….so he can fuck the living shit out of these smarmy insurance bastards.

Listen to this post
RBC — With record snows and a robust economy, this has been a season of good fortune for the resort town of Crested Butte in western Colorado. Yet our future hangs in the balance as Congress wrestles with an issue that ought to concern Americans everywhere: reform of the 1872 Mining Law.
How Congress proceeds could determine the fate of our community and whether many of the things that make Crested Butte such an attractive place to live and play — our healthy mountain environment and recreation-based economy — will be spoiled by the large-scale molybdenum mine proposed right in our municipal watershed.
Just like many other towns in the West, we treasure our rich mining heritage. But honoring the past doesn't mean we must live with its destructive relics and the mining rules set 136 years ago during the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant are indeed relics.
The mining law made mineral exploration and development the "highest and best use" of our federal lands in 1872. Virtually unchanged since that time, it still regulates hardrock mineral development and mining on our vast system of federal lands. This law may have made sense in the frontier days when Congress was eager to settle the West but it no longer makes sense when Western communities survive in large part because of recreation, tourism and access to public lands.
We know that the federal land managers who oversee our forests and rangelands treasure the open space, clean water, recreation opportunities and wildlife habitat that public lands nourish. But the 1872 Mining Law makes it all but impossible for them to deny mining proposals that could destroy those values. Worst of all, local residents have virtually no clout with the Forest Service about whether a project goes forward. Under current law, local and state officials are even more powerless.
Yet here in Crested Butte, we are faced with a proposed mine just two miles from town. As we understand it today, the "Lucky Jack Project" would deposit hundreds of thousands of tons of tailings and other wastes close to town and harm the valuable recreation lands and wildlife habitats that are our economic lifeblood.
Legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives this past October, H.R. 2262, would go a long way toward correcting these injustices. For the first time in more than a century, it would give federal land managers the power to reject a mine where other values like recreation, sensitive wildlife areas and critical waters are found to be paramount. It would also free special federal lands, including roadless forests and wilderness study areas, from the 1872 Mining Law.
Of particular importance to local and state officials, it would allow us to petition the secretary of interior to withdraw from mining special places like our municipal watershed. This is a good start, though I believe that municipal watersheds should, as a class and without exception, be declared unsuitable for mining.
The House legislation also contains provisions that recognize state and local regulation of hardrock mineral development, ensuring compliance through reclamation and environmental protection standards established under local, state and federal laws. In addition, the House bill would, for the first time, require mining companies to pay royalties for operating on federal lands.
Recently, the U.S. Senate began its review of the 1872 Mining Law. In the coming weeks, senators on the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources will be debating behind closed doors whether and how to overhaul the 1872 Mining Law. For Crested Butte and other recreation-based communities throughout the West, I believe it is essential to retain the environmental protections in the House bill. The mining industry will argue its needs come first: I say the West has moved on to a different reality.
I want to make it clear that I don't oppose mining; it's critical to our nation's security. But it is time for our elected officials to do the right thing for communities that must live with mining on their doorstep. Current laws have failed to protect public lands from the effects of mining, as anyone can attest who has ever hiked in the mountains. Some streams run orange with acid mine drainage and waste from abandoned mines still litters the landscape. It's time to stop adding to that sad legacy.

This week terrorism continued its descent from the greatest, scariest threat known to man to its proper place in the order of things: A bloody tactic that is as old as man and that is declining in frequency as most other forms of violence are.
The National Counterterrorism Center's annual report for 2011 was released on Tuesday and what it points to is a less violent (though still plenty violent) world. Total "terrorist" attacks fell 12 percent from the previous year and are down 29 percent from 2007, which the center says is a five year low. There were over 10,000 attacks classified by the government as terrorism across the world last year, claiming 12,500 lives. None of them were in the US, and three-quarters of the fatalities were in just four countries: Afghanistan (3,353), Iraq (3,063), Pakistan (2,033), and Somalia (1,101).
The cost in American lives? The report says 17 American "private citizens" were killed in terrorist incidents last year, 15 in Afghanistan and one each in Jerusalem and in Iraq. Though the report doesn't say, it's safe to assume the US citizens killed in Afghanistan were mostly aid workers or private contractors. Not to say they deserved what happen to them, but that these were people who placed themselves in a war zone (much as reporters do) fully aware of the risks. Trouble didn't come looking for them. The number of American's killed in terrorist attacks in 2010? 15.
As Micah Zenko points out, between 2000 and 2010 an average of 29 US citizens were killed each year by falling televisions, dressers, and other household furnishings. Yet we haven't declared war on the killer flat-screens rampaging through the heartland.
To be sure, terrorism is declining from a high base, thanks to the surging use of the tactic in Afghanistan and Iraq following the 2002 and 2003 US-led invasions of the two countries. Last year, the US military presence in Iraq was mostly about packing up and leaving, with far fewer patrols or offensives. Iraq, still the second most terrorism plagued country in the world by the US reckoning, saw attacks fall sharply last year. There were 13,600 people killed in terrorist attacks in Iraq in 2007, and that number fell to 3,654 by 2009 and to 3,063 last year.
And then there are issues with how "terrorism" is defined.
The word "Mexico," for instance, appears nowhere in the US report. Mexico had over 13,000 drug-related killings last year, and many of them targeted judges, cops, or citizens who had stood up to drug traffickers. High profile massacres, including leaving the bodies of the dead swinging from busy highway overpasses, were often designed to frighten populations into staying out of the drug dealer's way. The ultimate interests is financial, rather than political, but the tactic is much the same.
Is it time to start thinking about spending less on counterterrorism?
Certainly, part of the safety US citizens enjoy has had to do with the steps taken by the Bush and Obama administrations since 2001. In the past year, Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces in Pakistan, and Abu Yayha al-Libi, an important cleric for Al Qaeda, was killed by a US drone strike in Pakistan in just the past week. Vast sums have been poured into everything from airport security to intelligence. The decade since 9/11 was the longest ten-year stretch without a major terrorist attack on US soil since the 1960s as $1 trillion was poured into various initiatives.
The panicked warnings of politicians after the shock of 9/11 (former New York mayor and self-appointed terrorism expert Rudy Guiliani said in 2005 "Any one of these security experts, including myself, would have told you on Sept. 11, 2001, we're looking at dozens and dozens and multiyears of attacks like this") turned out to be driven more by fear than reason.
So one argument is, the money we're spending is working so we should keep on spending it. Perhaps. But at what other costs?
Last year, John Mueller of Ohio State and Mark G. Stewart of Australia's University of Newcastle, coauthored a paper looking at the costs and benefits of counterterrorism spending. What they found should fill any fiscally conservative politicians heart with glee: Based on our spending, we're grossly overestimating the risks of terrorism on US soil.
"We find that enhanced expenditures have been excessive: to be deemed cost-effective in analyses that substantially bias the consideration toward the opposite conclusion, they would have to deter, prevent, foil, or protect against 1,667 otherwise successful Times-Square type attacks per year, or more than four per day," they write. "Although there are emotional and political pressures on the terrorism issue, this does not relieve politicians and bureaucrats of the fundamental responsibility of informing the public of the limited risk that terrorism presents and of seeking to expend funds wisely."

Total bail was set at $2,740. Also arrested was Katsaris' passenger, Tim Edwin Jacobsen, 19, of Minden, on suspicion of felony possessing ID of another to avoid prosecution, allowing an unlicensed driver to operate vehicle and minor consuming/possessing alcohol.
• 7:05 p.m.: A 36-year-old Carson City man was arrested in the 200 block of Jeanell Drive on suspicion of disorderly conduct.

CLEVELAND – How would you like to be able to pay all your bills and still save enough money to retire comfortably? It's not as difficult as you might think.
Regardless of your income, money experts believe most people can keep more of what they earn and still take care of their financial obligations if they follow five simple rules.
No. 1 and most importantly -- save beyond your 401(k).Bob Smith, of Spero-Smith Investments in Cleveland, said his firm advises people to save the first 10 percent over and above the 401(k)."You have to save that through a payroll deduction as well, and put it into a savings account so that it can build up," said Smith.
Rule no. 2 is to list all your monthly expenditures to determine what you can afford to spend. Smith says to look at what you spend your money on and determine if it really gives you satisfaction.
"As one of my friends says, 'I don't mind spending money, I just hate wasting it,'" said Smith.
Rule no. 3: Resist the temptation to spend unnecessarily.
"Whether it's credit cards, whether it's ATM machines, if they feel they've got money in their pocket or are able to buy things with their credit card, they can easily spend more than they really should," said Smith.
Rule no. 4 is to keep in mind when buying gifts that it's the thought that counts -- don't overspend.
And lastly, consider the cost of that daily cup of coffee or fast-food lunches -- these expenses can add up.
"Three dollars a day on coffee is about $800 a year. If you eat out, assuming $10 a day, that can get to about $2,600, so that can really add up over a year's time," said Smith.

VIDEO DOWNLOAD - Scott Hall Shoot Interview
Scott Hall will go down in the books as one of the most entertaining and compelling shoot interviews in the history of shoots. Hall's passion for the wrestling business comes alive right from the beginning when talking about his memories of breaking in the business and working for Jim Crockett as a rookie. Those who know Scott know that there are very few short answers as Scott goes in depth with his answers to all of our questions. He literally was giving two or three extra stories while answering one question. Scott's memory of recalling all the events throughout his career is amazing to witness. Hall remembers every little detail and had no trouble sharing those experiences without holding anything back. What you will love about Scott is how he wears his heart on his sleeve as he talks honesty about himself. This is a man who has no problem taking responsibility for his actions that others may have found controversial. This exclusive shoot interview is a combination of interesting road stories and compelling answers to questions that spanned from his salad days in Florida as a greenhorn all the way to his current comeback in Puerto Rico.
Some of the many highlights of the interview include: Scott talking about the break Barry Windham gave him early on his career; being ribbed in Kansas City by two of the territories biggest stars, how he reacted, and the surprising reaction he got from Harley Race; Hall's run in the AWA, who helped him during that time, and who tried to sandbag him early on in matches; the lessons he learned wrestling Bruiser Brody early on; the influence that Curt Hennig, Larry Zbysko, and Dusty Rhodes had throughout his career; what he learned from Verne Gagne and the strange way that the meeting went in which he gave Verne his notice; how he wound up in WCW and how the Diamond Stud gimmick developed; and DDP and Hall being ribbed early on and how it turned out for an unlucky wrestler.
It gets better. More topics include: Halls very candid thoughts on Ric Flair leaving WCW while he was holding the strap, and how The Nature Boy took that resentment to him to the WWF and how it almost came out in a booking meeting with Vince McMahon; the process of how Hall got into the WWF and how long it took; the initial meeting with Vince McMahon and how he sold Vince on his character while coming up with the name Razor Ramon (this includes a surreal moment when Hall went into character and it beame immediately apparent as to how truly talented and charismatic this legend truly is); putting Sean Waltman over on Monday Night Raw, why the angle worked, and a match early in his career that inspired the angle; and the legendary WrestleMania X match with Shawn Michaels and some of his peers reactions.
We also were able to get Scott's side of a story told by Shane Douglas, in a previous shoot interview, about the heat between the two of them and what it stemmed from. Hall also gave his view of the infamous weekend the Clique allegedly went on strike and Vince McMahon came to a house show to calm down the locker room. You will hear the evolution of the Kliq and their issues with Chris Candido. Scott talked about what it was like to wrestle Bret Hart and gives his opinion on whether Bret is overrated or not. We found out Hall's side of the story
