Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get my program to System.out.println ('"Goodbye") if a negative number is entered. It does everything perfectly for the average but when the user enters a negative number I want it to display the goodbye message. I tried placing it in the program but then it displays "goodbye" and also "the average is Nan" which I don't want it to that just "goodbye." Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
import java.util.Scanner; public class While { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int num; // int numOfAmount = 0; float totalAmout = 0; float average; System.out.println("Enter a score or a negative number to end the program: "); //prompt the user for an input num = input.nextInt(); while(num >= 0) { numOfAmount++; // totalAmount = totalAmount + score; System.out.println("Enter a number or a negative number to end the program: "); // num = input.nextInt(); } average = totalAmount / numOfAmount; //calculate the average score System.out.println("The average score is " + average); }

(CNN) – Democrats were gleeful in 2004 when former Vice President Dick Cheney on the Senate floor told a senior lawmaker to "f**k" himself – a gesture, they thought, that was emblematic of Cheney's hard-heartedness.
Six years later, Cheney is looking back on that moment with pride.
"You'd be surprised how many people liked that," Cheney told conservative comedian and radio host Dennis Miller Thursday. "That's sort of the best thing I ever did."
Audio of the comments were posted on the liberal Web site Think Progress.
Cheney aimed the choice words at Sen. Patrick Leahy, now the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in June 2004. Cheney was upset with Leahy's criticism of Iraq contracting deals that the Bush administration had awarded to Halliburton, the company Cheney used to head.
Senate rules prohibit senators from using "unbecoming" language on the Senate floor when the body is in session, but makes no mention of whether the vice president is permitted to make foul remarks.

Ballooning: Rug shop fine inflates over $3,000
To former rug shop owner Mahmood Pasha, Albemarle County's ban on commercial use of balloons is a "stupid" law. "If balloons are illegal, why sell them?" he wonders after a March 23 General District Court appearance for a zoning violation that could cost him $3,200.
County Code prohibits "floating signs," as balloons are dubbed in a sign ordinance that took an Arby's owner to task in 2003 for flying an Arby's flag. Pennants, ribbons, spinners, and streamers are verboten, as are strobe lights, strings of lights... and balloons.
Pasha was cited October 31 for the balloon above his going-out-of-business Rug Depot shop on U.S. 29 North, and he was ordered to "cease and desist" by November 7.
According to the ordinance, a first violation brings a $200 penalty and that jumps to $500 for each subsequent violation. So when a zoning administrator drove by on November 21, December 2, January 9 and 21, and February 6 and 17 and observed the still-flying balloon, each trip earned Pasha an additional $500 penalty.
"That tenant has had a balloon frequently," says Albemarle zoning enforcement manager Rob Heide, pointing out that Pasha had 30 days to appeal the notice of violation, and didn't.
So what's the big deal with balloons anyway?
"I would imagine it has to do with safety and with aesthetics," answers Heide. "We've seen strong winds where the balloon is blown parallel to the roadway. If they descend into traffic, it's a distraction."
Heide says the county does not prosecute those who would tie balloons to a mailboxes to indicate the scene of a birthday party, nor has it sought to cite the ToyLift, an annual charitable event, notes Heide. The ordinance, he says, is "specifically tied to commercial use."
To area Libertarians, the county's regulation tramples liberty and free speech, and is business-unfriendly.
"We don't need bureaucrats to nitpick," declares John Munchmeyer, chairman of the Jefferson Area Libertarians, a group that rallied around Arby's owner Tom Slonaker when he was told to take down his flag. "This is the land of the free," adds Munchmeyer.
"It's a sign of celebration," agrees Pasha. "What's wrong with that? It's such a stupid law. Who is getting hurt? Is it heroin? Is it cocaine or crack?"
Pasha's store went out of business March 28, but he plans to return to court May 27 to protest the fine.
Meanwhile, his cross-the-street neighbor, Jim Price Chevrolet, has experimented with balloons of its own.
"It certainly has been open knowledge that Albemarle doesn't allow them," says Jim Price general manager Sandy Fewell, pointing out the dealership will fly them for Saturday sales, but hasn't gone in for the long-term inflatables.
"I think customers think it looks festive," says Fewell, who confesses he would like to have his own permanent balloon installation. "I like those little blimps," he says.
"The fact they're picking on [Pasha] is sad," says Fewell. "I thought they just picked on car dealers."

This a perfect way for Albemarle to cut costs. Fire the idiots who go around causing trouble where there is none. They get sales tax on every sale, they get real estate tax on the building and they get more income tax on every employee. Get off of businesses backs and let us create jobs.
If I owned the business I would fly a balloon that says " WARNING don't do business in albemarle county they are anti business"
Then I would appeal it up the line.
If they want to make a reasonable restriction and require a setback that is fine but this is just another example of Government run amok.
This isn't over... was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor? (germans?.(forget it he's rollin) .....and its not over now....
It also says "strings of lights" Are we banning Christmas now??? If not then should not this gentleman be aquitted under the "equal protection" clause in the constitution?
Well I don't know about the rest of you but I am not going to stay here while albemarle county bad mouths the UNTITED STATES OF AMERICA...... Gentleman
This whole "no sign" law is a bunch of hooey. If that is the case, then all of those signs outside the strip malls are illegal, stating what stores are closer in. Why? They're in the right of way. The tall Arby's sign is illegal because it's in the right of way. It also displays religious banter during various times of year, so let's take that away, too. It's offensive and has no place at a franchise. And fair's fair... take down the Sydney signs on 29. That's over and done with. In the right of way. Why not just cover all the signs with black cloth so we don't have to worry which are legal and which aren't?
My way, I'd put up a sign saying: This Is Not A Sign.
People who use Charlottesville as an example of good government are not taken seriously in this neck of the woods.
I'd rather look at balloons when I'm driving than look at what is called local architecture.
Look, Mr. Jefferson had no balloons, ergo no balloons. How did Going-Out-of-Business-Rug-Shop get built without red bricks and Palladian windows also? Coincidence? Hmm....
Any law loses legitamacy when it is not universally enforced. This is a bogus law for a bogus county that has bogus ideals about doing business. Get a clue Albemarle County and join the 21st century!
Clearly these laws (sign and balloon) were not developed by anyone with any kind of common sense, let alone business sense.
Way to help your county LOSE money!
When you enter Albemarle County from another county, there should be a sign...
welcome to Albemarle County
Certified Business Killer.
Too bad business people are not liberal loonbats. If they were, they could unite and shut down for a week. Anything provided by a business....from trinkets at Dollar Store, cars, heart bypass surgery, gasoline, lawn service, cancer treatment, fuel for Albemarle County vehicles, you name it, all services cease for a week. Let Albemarle beg for business.
"Pennants, ribbons, spinners, and streamers are verboten, as are strobe lights, strings of lights"Š and balloons."
Ha, ha! No wonder this town is dull, drab and doofy.
It is just a balloon. There are other businesses in the area that have balloons. They aren't as large, but still I don't see him getting fines. Plus, the county is just kicking this poor man when he is already down. SHAMEFUL!
This law is an embarrassment and should be rewritten by someone with common sense.
most of these laws are written to protect the citizens. dumbass drivers looking at distracting balloons and sparkly lights and not the road cause accidents. additionally, all of these things look terrible. albemarle is not alone in this law. charlottesville is just one example of another community that does not allow balloons and the like. if you want your county to look like a flea market, like virginia beach, then by all means get rid of the ordinance.
If you anyone thinks ballons cause less accidents than mascots parading around then they are the ones we need protection from...
There is nothing wrong with reasonable regulations, but the same government that is facing million dollar shortfalls should not stifle business since they get such a huge cut on every sale.
This town acts like it is superior to anywhere else.. what a joke...
I'd rather see people looking at balloons than texting as they drive( saw 4 drivers just this morning on a run up 29).
Pasha needs more of those pesky spheroids, not less. No matter what happens at his appeal, he should make his exit in a lawnchair powered by weather balloons.

Happy 121st birthday, J.R.R. Tolkien! Little did he know that his incredible fantasy novels would turn into a ridiculous, gazillion-dollar movie franchise, but just goes to show how timeless and beloved his books really are. And he continues to live on in them! So, if you haven't read any of his works, ranging from of course The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit to The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun and his numerous poems, maybe today, on his birthday, would be a good time to start!
Yep, Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892, and to help get you in the spirit and celebrate with some nerdy books and movies, here's a roundup of our 12 favorite funny, poignant, awesome quotes from the brilliant author.
1. "It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish."
2. "It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."
3. "Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to."
4. "It's a dangerous business going out your front door."
5. "His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all."
6. "War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."
7. "Above all shadows rides the sun."
8. "Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and in our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker."
9. "No language is justly studied merely as an aid to other purposes. It will in fact better serve other purposes, philological or historical, when it is studied for love, for itself."
10. "A real taste for fairy-stories was wakened by philology on the threshold of manhood, and quickened to full life by war."
11. "I believe that legends and myths are largely made of 'truth.'"
12. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
Are you a J.R.R. Tolkien fan? Did you know it was his 121st birthday today?

Villages made from mastic?
Unveil the amazing world of Mastic Villages in Chios (Mastihohória) a fortified village complex of superb beauty. Villages' existence is inextricably bound with the valuable crystal "tear" shed by mastic trees that grow only in the southern part of the island. The Genovese built this complex in order to offer shelter to the families who lived there and cultivated mastic. At some point during their occupation, they also erected strong fortresses to protect this blessed land. The massacre of the inhabitants by the Turks destroyed the economic fabric of this closed society.
The villages' turbulent history is miraculously reflected on the architecture of the buildings: for defensive purposes the villages were built out of sea sight surrounded by high walls with a central tower – the last resort in case the walls were breached by Arab pirates. The tower had no door but invaders could enter using ladders as bridges thrown from the rooftops. The streets were narrow and dark with blind alleys, which not only confused the invaders but also formed the perfect hideout for the villagers to carefully plan their attacks.
Today only 24 Mastic villages have withstood the test of time, since many of them were destroyed by the catastrophic earthquake that took place in 1881. Some fortress towns are still intact, such as Mestá, Pirgí, Olýmpi, Kalamotí, Véssa, Patriká, Vounó, Eláta and Kiní forming impressive medieval settlements. Recent restoration works on old stone mansions contributed significantly to the embellishment of the landscape recreating beautifully the once prevailing medieval atmosphere.
Mestá is the best preserved fortified village of the complex. Take a walking tour to help you admire the three impressive castle towers, the ancient churches and the magnificent stone houses which are built side-by-side tightly joined together with arches. In Pyrgí you will encounter an outstanding black and white geometrical decoration on the houses' outer walls only to be found here, the so-called "ksistá". In Avgónima the view will definitely captivate you, as the village overlooks the nearby island of Psará.
31 km south of the town of Chios you will encounter the medieval village of Olýmpi. Wander around Kalamotí's maze-like alleys past two-storey stone houses which proudly stand intact throughout the years. Kallimassiá was almost destroyed by the 1881 earthquake, but you can still discover ruins of medieval towers and rural churches. Enjoy a cup of coffee at the central square and experience the friendliness of the locals, who are only too eager to teach you how mastic is produced according to an ancient practice faithfully followed for the past 2,500 years.

While at Comic-Con for a big presentation in Hall H (you can read our recap of the film's panel here, and a recap of Marvel's new announcements here), co-writer/director Shane Black and actors Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle were joined by Marvel's Kevin Feige to talk to press about Iron Man 3, which kicks of Phase 2 of Marvel's grand plan. During the interview, they talked about the desire to capture and double the intensity of The Avengers, the sides of Tony Stark that they want to dig into this time, making the film its own story, what made Shane Black the right director for the job, the importance of the romance to the story, and keeping all of these films fresh for audiences, so that people don't feel overloaded by Marvel films. Check out what they had to say after the jump. Also, check out our recap of the Marvel Update and Iron Man 3 panels.
Question: The Avengers had such great action and set pieces. What is the pressure for Iron Man 3 to have bigger set pieces and live up to that level?
KEVIN FEIGE: We're not aiming for bigger, necessarily. We're aiming for different and fresh and new.
SHANE BLACK: There is an idea about being big, but to me it's an idea about capturing and doubling the intensity that The Avengers managed to capture. It's that lightening in a bottle feel of really stuffing so much into a limited space. We're trying to get as much in this, as we can. We're just looking to get a ton of thrills in a short space, and make a nice little stew for you.
Kevin and Shane, can you talk about the Iron Patriot rumors, the picture that was online, and how that fits into the film?
FEIGE: The not fun thing is that it's online and you don't have a whole lot of control over that stuff anymore. The fun thing is that the reason it was online is because it's a real practical suit. It was on the set and someone took a picture of it. It's actually an awesomely designed suit that Mr. Cheadle does get to wear, in certain points of the movie.
BLACK: The good news and the fun thing for us, just in terms of the fans and the fan blogs, is just how much all the guessing is so wrong. It's completely off base. We should just get someone to walk around as the most obscure Marvel villain ever, or get some costume at K-Mart and have that show up. But, we love the rumors. That's fun!
Shane, you've written a lot of big movies for other directors and producers. Did that prepare you for directing your own big movie? What's surprised you about being on the director's side of things?
BLACK: What surprised me, frankly, was just how much generous help was available to me. That made it as easy as it could be. Jon Favreau was available to give me all kinds of tips and advice. He just made it like walking off of one platform, onto another and gave me the transitional feel that I needed. Marvel has such an affective special effects machine that they could walk me through this process, hold my hand, and ensure that I was free to concentrate on story and character and scale. I said, "I want to do this," and they said, "Here's how you do it," and within a week, I knew. They're terrific! They've done this a lot. They do it all the time.
Robert and Shane, how did the storyline and the success of The Avengers impact what you wanted to do with this movie, and what did you want to dig into with Tony Stark this time?
ROBERT DOWNEY JR: The Avengers even surprised us, to a certain extent. Looking back on it, you can dissect why it was the right movie with the right people and the right director, at the right time, and we feel the same way about this now. I feel that Rhodey and Tony had not entirely been explored as much as they could be. That was always a big part of the comics, and the heart of it. We also tried to be practical, in a post-Avengers world. What are his challenges now? What are some limitations that might be placed on him? And what sort of threat would have him, as usual, ignore those limitations?
BLACK: Truthfully, the way to go about doing a part 3, if you're ever in that position, as I'm lucky enough to be, is to find a way that the first two weren't done yet. You have to find a way to make sure that the story that's emerging is still ongoing and, by the time you've finished 3, will be something resembling the culmination of a trilogy. It's about, "How has the story not yet been completely told?," and I think we're getting there. I think we've really found ways to make this feel organic and new, based on what's come before, and that's what I'm happy about.
Shane and Kevin, Iron Man 2 really set up pieces for The Avengers movie. How is Iron Man 3 going to focus on Iron Man, rather than setting up the next Avengers?
FEIGE: This is a very Tony Stark centric film, meaning not just Tony, but his world with Pepper and with Rhodey. It was important to us, as part of the grand plan, from Iron Man 1 to The Avengers, to build that up. Frankly, the first step of the grand plan, with Iron Man 3, is to prove they're just as interesting, if not more so, by themselves, as they were when they were all together in The Avengers. Iron Man 3, by design, is a very serious character study. It's not a serious movie, but we seriously dug into exploring more of Tony, of Rhodey and of Pepper, without calling S.H.I.E.L.D. and calling Thor or Cap.
Robert, how was it to re-team with Shane Black on this, after doing Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang?
DOWNEY: Well, I've known Shane for awhile. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang was one of my favorite experiences. The script was practically perfect, but we improvised, anyway.
BLACK: You improvised, anyway.
DOWNEY: The main thing is Shane's storytelling, and that emotional depth that happens without taking itself too seriously. There were times when [Jon] Favreau and I would call Shane when we had a big scene the next day. His payment once was to have us get him a piece of salmon and some fresh blueberries. He became known as Code Word: Blueberries after that. And he works for the same fee now.
Don, will we see you suit up again, in this film?
DON CHEADLE: I do suit up. There are some different iterations that War Machine goes through, in this film. I don't want to give them away, but it's fun to see those things morph and shift. The Iron Man suit is really spectacular in this film, I think, with the innovation that's happened with it.
Robert and Shane, will there be more sides to Tony stark in this?
DOWNEY: Yeah, I think that's the big idea. But also, interestingly enough, this film has a lot of breadth to it. We realized, at the beginning of Iron Man 2, Tony was dying, and then he had a party, and then he was drunk, and some people were going, "We don't like him!" There's a way to enjoy all of that shadowy stuff. We just kept thinking about, "What would it really be like, if this guy was in this country? Where else could he go in this country? What sorts of themes and backdrops could we explore?" If you look to the history of the films that Shane has written and directed, there's a real desire for me, just as someone who loves the movies, to harken back to some of those themes, and they will occur in Iron Man 3.
BLACK: Although, Tony won't fall off the wagon.
DOWNEY: You haven't seen my rewrites! Rhodey picks him up at Betty Ford, in Scene 2.
Can you talk about filming in China and how that will be incorporated?
BLACK: We're not really going to China. Can I say that?
DOWNEY: This is why I love Shane. He says it, and then turns to Kevin [Feige] and asks if he can say it.
BLACK: Basically, we're setting aspects of the film in China, but the First Unit won't be filming there. But, don't tell anybody.
CHEADLE: That stays in this room.
How do you ensure that this film doesn't step on the toes of any larger Marvel projects?
FEIGE: Iron Man 3 is the beginning of the next phase, so it will set the tone, in a lot of ways. Certainly, with Tony's journey, things could spin forward, but it's as self-contained a story that we've done since Iron Man 1.
How important is romance to the story of Iron Man 3?
BLACK: The remarkable thing that Jon Favreau managed to do when he forged these movies was establishing a precedent of espionage, high-tech, Top Gun style thrills, coupled with romantic comedy, in a strange way. That's always been the mainstay of these movies. That's one of my favorite things about it, too. The romance is definitely a part of it. We've got Gwyneth [Paltrow] coming back, and some time has passed. In The Avengers, Pepper and Tony are together and doing great, and living together.
DOWNEY: Kevin said there's never been a movie like this where the lead guy is in a relationship with the girl he's going home to, who's Gwyneth Paltrow, telling him what to do. However, Rhodes is single! What are we gonna do about that?
CHEADLE: Is this a dating service?! Are you starting something?
How do you guys keep all of these films fresh for audiences without people feeling overloaded by Marvel films?
FEIGE: Well, I've been at Marvel for 12 years now, and we've had that concern, going back to when X-Men came out, and then two years later, Spider-Man came out. And then, in one year, there were three films. The trick and the formula is just trying to make great movies. We try to make them all great, all different and all fresh. What you'll see in Iron Man 3, that Shane is bringing to it, is some very unique plot points and directions that were taken with the franchise. The same thing with Thor, and the same thing with Captain America. As long as they all feel fresh and you don't fall into some sort of formulaic mold, I hope [people will want to see them].
BLACK: We were allowed to take some risks, and I think that's very notable. I think it's very admirable, in a superhero movie, to be able to take a few risks. That's why I wanted to do this.
Kevin, what made you decide on Shane Black to step in and direct this film?
FEIGE: He's a great storyteller and he had a great relationship with Robert. His movie was one of the things that Jon and I kept going back to, when we were casting Tony Stark, many years ago. It made a lot of sense to us. Joss [Whedon] hadn't done a movie as big as The Avengers, before we hired him for The Avengers. We're confident in the infrastructure we can provide filmmakers, whether they've dealt with something on this scale of not.
BLACK: Oh, just say it. I work for DVD copies.

Robert, how does it feel to be a hero in all these movies?
CHEADLE: This better be a great answer!

Know Your Numbers
Do you know your numbers? There are three important numbers you should know about your body that contribute to your heart health: blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.
Knowing what your numbers are—and what they mean—is one of the first, crucial steps to taking control of your heart health.
These numbers help your doctor assess your risk of developing heart disease. They can help you assess your own risk, right in the comfort of your home. Use the online Sentara Heart Health Profiler.
Blood Pressure
The Terms
Systolic, the upper number, is the higher of the two numbers. It measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
Diastolic, the bottom number, is the lower of the two numbers. This number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats, when your heart muscle is resting and refilling with blood.
How We Get the Reading
To get your blood pressure reading, healthcare providers use a blood pressure cuff. Your healthcare provider will first tighten the cuff to restrict your blood flow, then slowly release it and check your pulse.
Your healthcare provider is checking how your pulse beats as the cuff is released.
What the Numbers Mean
Ideally, you want to have a systolic number of less than 120, and a diastolic number of less than 80.
If your systolic is higher than 180 or your diastolic is higher than 110, you need emergency care.
The Terms
Total cholesterol: The measure of the total amount of cholesterol in your blood. It is made up of LDL and HDL.
LDL, low-density lipoprotein, is commonly known as the "bad" cholesterol. It can lead to buildup and blockages in your arteries.
HDL, high-density lipoprotein, is commonly known as the "good" cholesterol. HDL cholesterol actually helps remove cholesterol from your arteries.
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. High levels may raise your risk of coronary artery disease.
How We Get the Reading
Checking your blood cholesterol level involves nothing more complicated than a regular old blood test.
The medical name for the test is a lipoprotein panel, and you usually need to fast for 8-12 hours before the test.
What the Numbers Mean
The lower the LDL, the better. The higher the HDL, the better.
For patients with known coronary artery disease, the LDL should be less than 70. Work closely with your doctors to determine your individualized target.
Blood Sugar Testing
The Terms
Glucose, a type of sugar, is a source of energy for cells in your body. Eating carbohydrates raises your blood glucose level.
Insulin is a hormone your body makes to help control blood glucose levels.
How We Get the Reading
A blood test is used to determine your numbers. A fasting blood sugar test is often the first type of blood test to check for signs of prediabetes or diabetes. This means you need to fast for 8-12 hours before the blood test.
What the Numbers Mean
Normal results are between 70-100 mg/dL.
Numbers of 126 or higher mean you probably have diabetes. If your numbers are high, discuss the next steps with your doctor.

Because I need a break in talking about HOW I AM NOT IN LABOR YET, I decided to scan some photos from this kind of hilarious cookbook I found in my office last week. And then say semi-funny things about the photos, like I'm James Lileks and the Gallery of Regrettable Food or something.*
Click here for the The Company Cookbook: A Journey Through the Center of the Middle of the Shredded Cheddar Cheese Universe
*I am so not James Lileks and the Gallery of Regrettable Food or something. I'm just bored and again, NOT IN LABOR YET.
(EDITED TO ADD: Before everybody thinks I'm taking easy potshots at the gentle Midwesterners and their love of the Hotdish and Cream of Mushroom soup, let me state for the record that this company is located in Florida. Which makes zero sense, I know, but yes, Florida.)
(And it's always okay to make fun of Florida, right?)

What change do you want to make at your college or university? Tell us here!
Watch Courtney Giles tell her Winner's Story of our 2012 I am The Change campaign and see how we helped Courtney start her campaign to save Epsom Phab youth club from closure.
Make a change this year
Giving NHS students a minimum wage on placement, as we are expected to do the same hours as staff, without being paid. However the university are unaware of the pressure placed on students as they think we are 'supernumary' to staff.
Access to Uni is unequal and we want to change that! We run a girls' body positive zine project in a local school. We want to run these across Manchester & beyond with other Women's socs, & then host a national Grrrls' Zine Fair/Access Day in the SU.
We want to campaign against the closure of Trafford A&E which will gravely affect surrounding hospitals. They will receive no extra funding while being expected to cope with extra patients, dangerously extending waiting times.
I am a disabled student, and we dont have a big voice, we face issues such as marking problems (dyslexic& still get marked down on spelling) but nothing is ever said or done. I propose to hold disability meetings so the SU can tell the uni our needs!
The waiting lists can be long for counselling, and there is no support for students at night, when statistically people feel at their lowest. I propose a nightline phone support service 8pm-8am for all problems, big or small.
I would like to promote wider knowledge of mental health problems across the UK. Mental health is a very prevalent issue in every community, and I would strive to erase the social stigma and make support services more widely known.
I would like to see my college fully embrace healthy eating and cater for those who have Coeliac disease. Colleges and universities should be fully inclusive so why exclude those who don't want to stuff themselves with pies pastries and chips.
Sussex students are currently campaigning to save their campus services from privatisation. I want to lobby the University to improve it's consultation with the campus community to prevent this happening again, a process I've already started
As I am international student, I want changes during the freshers week such as airport pick up, or more people getting involved with new students and making them comfortable to the place
I bring a plastic mug from home to lunch at the uni so I do not have to use disposable cups. I buy big bottles of juice or soft drinks and put in smaller bottles to carry instead of buying a lot of small bottles.
Fighting for change at my department (SAS) and making sure that unhelpful and inflexible people will not hold course tutor position anymore.
More dedicated cycle routes around campus & car free zones
I would try to encourage all students to actively engage in sports clubs, societies and any other form of responsibility such as being a mentor outside of their academic studies because you develop so much as a person that way.
There needs to be facilities for alumni such as access to library facilities and so forth, all universities provide alumni facilities and the fact Grimsby Institute doesn't is letting down their HE students.
I want to get involved in many more kind of volunteers
Make everyone become less shallow of disabled people, after all - I have Asperger Syndrome
a large proportion of the students at my campus (Harrow) smoke. I think our uni needs to do more to make people aware of the health risks they are causing to themselves and everyone else around them. it's just ignored at the moment!
The change that i would like to make is for students to have different ways of completing assignments if they have dyslexia or are simply not that good at writing long worded essays. They should be able to voice record themselves or video themseleves
welcoming new students. I think new students should be given some kind of pamphlet stating the services the college provides and how to be active in the listed areas
Go to work or school with a SMILE on your face. It won't only open the day for you but also for others!
Smiling is like a spark in fuel, anyone sees you smiling will definately smile as well and feel that all doors are open which just need a knock :
I think the catering options on campus need an urgent improvement since currently the venues providing food is mediocre to bad. Also maybe making a Starbucks or Costa coffee on campus would be a great idea (which some universities already have).
Would love more support in "night security" in halls. Being able to sleep without people banging on doors, getting drunk and shouting in the shared kitchen every day would be ideal. Thank you!!
I am trying to ''change'' enhance Saudi women's life, and seeking her serenity through art. My prospective is to change the situation, and make women's lives better. By encouraging their voices and giving them a platform from which they can be heard.

Tuesday, 25 February 2014 06:07 AM
Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday that state attorneys general who believe that laws in their states banning same-sex marriage are discriminatory are not obligated to defend them. For an example, he cited the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case that led to public school integration.
"If I were attorney general in Kansas in 1953, I would not have defended a Kansas statute that put in place separate-but-equal facilities," Holder said in an interview with The New York Times.
Holder said an attorney general should apply the highest level of scrutiny before reaching a decision on whether to defend laws that touch on core constitutional issues like equal protection. He said the decision should never be political or based on policy objections.
"Engaging in that process and making that determination is something that's appropriate for an attorney general to do," Holder told the Times for a story that appeared on its website late Monday.
Holder was scheduled to address the winter meeting of the National Association of Attorneys General on Tuesday.
Democratic attorneys general in five states — Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois and Nevada — have declined to defend same-sex marriage bans against lawsuits filed by gay couples. New Mexico's attorney general, also a Democrat, has challenged longstanding legal interpretations that said such unions were impermissible there.
Republicans have criticized the view that attorneys general can choose not to defend state laws.
The Times reported that Holder was careful not to encourage state attorneys general to disavow their own laws. Holder himself refused to defend the federal Defense of Marriage Act in 2011, which helped lead to last year's Supreme Court decision striking down a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act that denied gay married couples the federal benefits and privileges enjoyed by heterosexual couples.
The attorney general has been outspoken on issues he sees as highlighting flaws in the criminal justice system that have a disparate impact on minorities. Earlier this month he called on 11 states to restore voting rights to ex-felons, arguing that laws that permanently disenfranchise people who are no longer under federal or state supervision should be reconsidered.
Holder has urged the nation's schools to abandon disciplinary policies that send students to court instead of the principal's office, citing cases in which black students were disciplined more harshly and more frequently than whites.
In addition, he has instructed federal prosecutors to stop charging many nonviolent drug defendants with offenses that carry mandatory minimum sentences, saying that long mandatory terms have flooded the nation's prisons with low-level drug offenders and diverted money away from crime fighting.

This Saturday, EFW will be making the trip to Kingsmeadow to see AFC Wimbledon for the first time. Ahead of the visit of Forest Green Rovers, we dialled up Ray Armfield to find out more about the fairytale that seems destined never to end. Ray is a contributions editor to the AFCW programme, a Dons Trust Board member and has followed the Dons since 1971. Not a bad person to ask the following then:
What makes AFC Wimbledon so special? Personally, I'd say the people. There are so many supporters who give so freely of their time, effort and money to build our club and that unity makes us strong. There's also the shared experiences of watching Wimbledon FC climb the pyramid to the Premiership, punch well beyond its weight (sometimes literally) and then in 2002 to fight back from seeing your club franchised. There is a real sense of wanting to right that wrong and it's a powerful driving force for us all.
Have you outgrown Kingsmeadow? Almost. There have been several games in recent seasons where extra capacity could have seen another 2-3,000 on the gate and the higher we go, the more acute the situation might become. We are currently working towards making Kingsmeadow fully compliant for the Football League, but there are undoubtedly big and important decisions to be made in the future.
How far can the club progress under 'fan ownership' and what would happen if one person came in with a huge sum of money to try and buy the club? I think with the right people continuing to be at the helm there is no reason why we can't sensibly plan to reach the Championship in our present guise. Fan ownership is at the cornerstone of what we stand for though and there aren't many supporters who would jeopardise what we have built here for a 'sugar daddy' – no matter what carrots are dangled in front of us. In fact, a couple of years ago, businessman Darragh MacAnthony wanted to buy into AFC Wimbledon (and made some tempting-sounding statements) but despite saying he simply "wanted to have some fun", ultimately he sought a controlling interest and his offer was quickly dismissed. He has, of course, since taken Peterborough United to the Championship – but there are no regrets on my part.
Is a return to Merton Borough the ultimate goal? It is for most supporters. However 'Merton' can also be sub-divided into other categories, with some (like myself) who want a home specifically in Wimbledon itself and not simply anywhere within the Borough. Merton Council currently appear sympathetic and supportive – but we will still need to see that translated into something more tangible if we are to achieve the dream of going 'home' one day.
Have you gained any friends or foes in your rise through the leagues? I'd like to think we've made many friends along the way. Travelling to games on public transport, I'm often complimented and wished well by fans of other teams and perhaps a wider barometer of that came when we were deducted 18 points by the Ryman League for fielding a player without International Clearance and a (successful) petition to overturn that decision was signed by thousands of supporters from all over the world. Of course, not everyone likes us and the cosy and often insular pond of non-league football has seen the likes of ourselves and FC United put some ripples on it simply by being different. We've had 'issues' with a few clubs for various reasons – Ramsgate, Bromley and Hampton spring to mind – but generally it's been very positive.
It won't be long before you're playing MK Dons on a level playing field. Surely chaos would ensue at that fixture? It's a fixture I never really want to see happen. An away game there would probably split our support – many (like me) wouldn't set foot inside Stadium:MK, some would travel but not enter the ground and others would actually want to see the match. A home game would see a bear pit atmosphere and make Galatasaray look like a genteel afternoon at county cricket by comparison. I'm not even sure I could trust myself to behave. Though I'm sure the likes of Sky Sports would lap it up.
MK Dons got shortlisted as a World Cup venue should England stage it. Any thoughts? Having been completely and utterly failed by the football authorities when Wimbledon FC were franchised to Milton Keynes in 2002, it came as no surprise to me when they were included within the bid. As Jim White so aptly put it in the Daily Telegraph the day after the announcement was made "Meanwhile, in Wimbledon they must be looking on in astonishment at the glittering rewards of theft." We have expressed our anger at the decision to the FA and other movers and shakers, but it has certainly stoked the fire that is always simmering away within many of us.
We like a beer with our football here at European Football Weekends, what is the clubhouse like at Kingsmeadow? Now we can certainly help you there. We have three bars at Kingsmeadow – a President's Lounge (exclusively for match sponsors etc), the Main or 'middle' bar that holds up to 200 people and the 'back' bar that caters for between 60 – 200 and is also used for our successful 'Kingsmeadow Live' comedy nights held on Friday evenings. There is usually real ale available if you get in early and the back bar serves food too. Unless the opposition supporters fall in to the 'proper nawty' category (which doesn't happen very often) then the latter two bars are open to all. Also if the weather's good you can take your pint outside and have a chat before the game – and our ground admission prices are just about the lowest in the division too. Which is nice.
Can you sum up AFC Wimbledon in a Tweet of less than 140 characters? We'll entertain, feed and water you, read an award-winning programme and even meet the players afterwards. And you'll still have change from £20.
Thanks to Matt aka Chalfont Don, Stuart Fuller and Karl Adam for the photos.

Robbery victim says authorities took his marijuana
A robbery victim says Riverside County sheriff's deputies took his marijuana and he wants it back.
John Szwec runs a service that delivers medical marijuana to patients. He was making a delivery last week in Temecula when robbers took an ounce of pot and about $400 in cash.
When they drove off, Szwec chased them in his pickup. The getaway car crashed on a freeway offramp and two men were eventually arrested.
But Szwec tells U-T San Diego ( https://bit.ly/14vYV4m ) that deputies who responded to the scene took the entire supply of marijuana from his pickup.
Sheriff's Deputy Albert Martinez says it's being held as evidence.
Szwec says he could understand holding the stolen ounce of pot but not his entire business supply - and he wants it back.

Industry Forum for Material Research and Microgravity
Weightlessness provides unique conditions for scientific, application-oriented and industrial research. On Earth, if a substance is heated, melted, solidified, crystallised, mixed, sprayed or burnt, then gravity has a strong influence over what will happen. Studying those processes in the absence of gravity allows uncovering the fundamental effects at work.
With the deployment of the European space laboratory Columbus on the International Space Station (ISS) in February 2008, the research capacity of the ISS was nearly doubled and a new era has begun for ESA's activities onboard. The facilities and resources available on Columbus not only allow scientists to carry out their research, but also offer companies the opportunity for their research and development as well as for testing innovative technologies.
In order to inform companies about the opportunities which are available on the ISS and on Columbus for R&D and technology demonstration, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in cooperation with the Max Planck Institut für Eisenforschung (MPIE) will hold the workshop: "Industry Forum for Material Research and Microgravity".
Experts from ESA, DLR, the MPIE, industry and research institutions will illustrate the relevance of microgravity for application oriented material research, the existing opportunities and the kind of support which is available to industry interested in performing experiments under microgravity.
The workshop will take place on: Thursday, 8 May 2008, from 10.00 to 16.15 hours, at the Max Planck Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany.
The workshop language is German. The participation is free of charge. Since the number of participants is limited, registrations will be accepted on the basis of 'first come first serve'. For registering, please contact the address below before 25 April 2008.

[The High Line last fall, as landscaping crews began planting.]
All eyes were on our nation's capital today as President Obama signed the stimulus bill (or, properly, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) into law. Before the $787 billion economic recovery package was finally approved, debate raged over how the funds should be distributed.
On that note, James S. Russell, Bloomberg's architecture critic, argued a point we couldn't agree with more: "If you want bang for taxpayer's buck, build parks and fund the arts."
His recently published article on Bloomberg.com asserts that the arts spur economic development, citing the High Line as a prime example: "From an economic standpoint, starving the arts is suicidal. Consider the case of the High Line, the park in the Meatpacking District. The City of New York invested $170 million in the project, which directly inspired as many as 50 major residential projects worth as much as $5 billion."

Three Things to Expect From Tonight's Sony PlayStation Event
It's finally here — the long-awaited Sony PlayStation event, where the Japanese electronics maker is widely expected to unveil its next-generation videogame console.
While not all of the details are known yet, over the past week there have been advance reports and much speculation about what the "PlayStation 4" will include.
Here are three things to look for at tonight's event, which kicks off at 6 pm ET:
The new PlayStation is expected to stream games over the Web. Remember Sony's acquisition of Gaikai Inc. last year? That $380 million spend wasn't for nothing. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that Sony is indeed expected to offer cloud-based gaming components with the new console (in addition to playing good old-fashioned optical discs). There's a chance that Sony will make older games available only through streaming if the discs aren't forward compatible with the new console. But there could be new streaming content in there, as well.
This is notable mostly because it underscores the shift toward casual, Web- and mobile-based games that has been impacting the hard-core gaming industry. But cloud-based gaming can be technically difficult, as the story points out, so it will be interesting to see how Sony manages this.
Mobile, mobile, mobile. Even videogame consoles aren't immune to the mobile craze. There are a couple of ways Sony could go here — and maybe it will do both — when it comes to mobile: More integration between the console and the PlayStation Vita, Sony's not-exactly-best-selling handheld device, or with complimentary mobile apps that work with games on the PS4 console and network. This would allow for enhanced play both in the living room and, potentially, on the go, too, where consumers generally fire up their casual (free!) games.
Briefly consider, as an example, the Wii U from Nintendo, which recently had to cut its sales forecast for the new console, and might not have aimed right when it made a proprietary tablet-like controller. But take away "proprietary" and "controller" and you've got a tablet — which has proved it has a place in gaming.
Here we are now, entertain us. Most people who watch Web videos and movies on their TV sets don't have "smart" TVs. In fact, most aren't even using Apple TV or Roku. They're using videogame consoles. And in that arena Sony faces formidable competition in Microsoft's Xbox console, which in the past claimed the Most-Popular, Non-PC Video-Streaming Gadget superlative.
But here's an interesting tidbit, reported by my colleague Peter Kafka late last year: Sony's PS3 is Netflix's biggest platform for connected-TV viewing, due in part to the fact that Sony doesn't slap an additional subscription fee on Netflix-watching on the console. There's a good chance that Sony will tout additional home streaming options or features as a way to bolster its brand as a multimedia platform — if not tonight, then in the near future.
AllThingsD will be at the event, bringing you up-to-date coverage, so check back here later this evening.

Few people know that the historic Brown vs. Board of Education case, which in
1954 outlawed racially "separate-but-equal" schools, had roots in the Carolinas.
What the Supreme Court heard was a case brought in Topeka, Kansas, but it included four other similar suits from around the country, including one brought in Clarendon County, S.C.
|Steve Crump
He tells the story of how black parents brought a suit against Clarendon County because their children were required to walk miles to a school, while white children had access to school buses.
Among those interviewed with first-hand memories of those days is J.A. Delaine Jr., whose father was active in the suit and suffered personal loss as a result.
Also interviewed is Dorothy Counts, who was the first black student at Charlotte's Harding High School and was spat upon and jeered while walking into the building the first time. Counts says the racial divide, much reduced, still need attention nowadays. "We have to learn to trust each other," she says.
Crump also looks at how many schools remain semi-segregated by economic and social forces today, including those in Clarendon County.
Others offering perspective in the wide-ranging special, produced by Jennifer Torsiello, include Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools superintendent Heath Morrison, U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, whose district includes Clarenton County, and Tom Hanchett, historian at the Levine Museum of the New South.

Laurels for Cluster-Double Star teams
The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has decided to award The Laurels for Team Achievement Award to the Double Star/Cluster Team. The official ceremony took place in Prague, Czech Republic, on 26 September, in the margin of the International Astronautical Congress.
The Laurels Team Achievement Award is one of two major awards given by the IAA every year, the other being for individual recipients. This team award was established in 2000 and the first Laurels were given to the Russian Mir Space Station team. In the following years, the awardees of the Laurels included the Space Shuttle, SOHO and Hubble Space Telescope teams.
The Chinese Double Star Programme in concert with the ESA Cluster Program provided an unprecedented measurement capability of geospace. The Double Star Programme consisted of two spacecraft, TC-1 and TC-2, which flew in equatorial and polar orbits near the earth. The Cluster mission is comprised of four identical spacecraft and flies in a higher altitude polar orbit. Together, the six spacecraft enabled the first coordinated six-point measurements of the Earth magnetosphere. During the overlapping period of the two missions from 2004 to 2007, they drew significant attention from both the research community and public, providing many scientific discoveries including: the extent of oscillations in the tail of the magnetosphere, density holes in the solar wind, pulsed magnetic reconnection observed for several hours and crustal cracking of a neutron star. Together with the NASA IMAGE spacecraft, it also provided the first image of the inner magnetosphere, from both the north and the south poles simultaneously.
The Chinese Double Star Programme was the first major China-ESA space science collaboration, in which ESA coordinated eight European built instruments onboard TC-1 and TC-2. These instruments were all from Cluster heritage except the Neutral Particle Imager on TC-2. In addition, ESA provided ground station support for data reception and science operations for the European instruments. The Chinese National Space Administration was responsible of all other systems of the programme.
The origin of this cooperation was driven by a Chinese scientific interest in the ESA Cluster mission, leading to close collaboration between Chinese and European scientists working together since 1993. The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) set up a Cluster data analysis centre at the Center for Space Science and Applied Research (CSSAR) in Beijing. Subsequently, many Chinese scientists and students visited ESA and European institutes associated with the Cluster mission, including long period exchange and PhD programs.
The next step came in 1997, when Prof. Liu Zhenxing from CSSAR, proposed the Double Star Programme. In November 1997, ESA sent a delegation, led by the science director of ESA at that time, Dr. Roger Bonnet, to visit CSSAR. After learning the details of the program, a cooperation protocol with CSSAR was signed, to provide Cluster flight spare instruments to the Double Star Programme. This was the first action of this cooperation, which later became a major collaboration between ESA and the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA).
"I am very pleased to see our cooperation with the Cluster team being acknowledged by this award. My cooperation with the Cluster team can be traced back to 1992 when I joined the data analysis program of Cluster mission. Later on, we worked closely on the Double Star Programme. It opened a new era in the study of the magnetosphere with coordinated multiple spacecraft", says Professor Liu, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"The Double Star mission fostered a strong scientific link between Europe and China. Its importance for future collaborations between China and ESA cannot be understated", says Karl Bergquist, administrator, ESA International Relations department at ESA HQ.
"The Double Star programme was highly beneficial for Europe and China. It has not only boosted the scientific achievements of both missions but also built a solid scientific and engineering bridge between Europe and China. Space science is new in China. I am happy that the first space science mission in China sets a model in international cooperation for future missions", underlines Ji Wu, CSSAR Director.
"By coordinating the science operations of the Double Star programme with the Cluster mission, Chinese and European scientists were able to obtain scientific results that were impossible to achieve with the missions independently. We are honoured that this close team work has been so highly rewarded", says Philippe Escoubet, Double Star and Cluster mission manager of the European Space Agency.
The complete list of Double Star-Cluster awardees are:
China: Zhenxing Liu, Ji Wu, Yongwei Zhang, Shigeng Yuan, Qiang Liu, Kaixiang Zeng, Yansong Xu, Hongliang Xu, Zuyin Pu, Jiankui Shi, Jinbin Cao, Chao Shen, Li Lu, Shoulun Dai, Jinrong Cai, Fengyu Liao, Fengmei Bian, Guangwu Zhu, Xiaomin Chen, Xin Meng, Xuzhi Li
Europe: C.Philippe Escoubet, Bodo Gramkow, Karl Bergquist, Henri Reme, Susan Mckenna-Lawlor, Andrew Fazakerley, Christopher Carr, Tielong Zhang, Nicole Cornilleau-Wehrlin, Hugo Alleyne, Klaus Torkar, Trevor Dimbylow, Roland Nord, Stephane Osipenco, Gunter Laky, Eric soerensen

Leona Lewis may be prepping her sophomore album, "Echo," but the "Bleeding Love" singer said she's planning further ahead – to motherhood.
"In the future, definitely," she told the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper of her child-rearing plans. "But not within five years. I can see myself being an older mum."

While motherhood can wait, the 24-year-old star said she's happy with longtime boyfriend, electrician Lou Al-Chamaa, who she's dated since before the "X Factor" win that catapulted her to stardom – and angered by the U.K. press's condescending treatment of him.
"This is real life, it isn't make-believe," she said. "For people to think that you should leave someone because, all of a sudden, you're a singer and you have opportunities. I feel very sorry for them. He's a great person. And it doesn't matter what you do in life, what your job is, where you come from. None of that matters to me, what matters is who you are as a person – nothing else.

"We are best friends," she added, explaining that she's avoided making too many new friends since her rise to fame.
"I feel that all really strong relationships are based on trust. All my friends I've known since I was really little," she said. "It's not that I don't let new people in but I do feel… safe with people that really know me, who know who I am."
Still, the singer said she does love the glamour that comes along with pop stardom.

"Sometimes I think I want to get 'hair and make up' every day, but that's just not possible," she said. "I think some people love fame, some people hate it, and some people just go along with it, and I think that's what I do, I just kind of go along with it."

There has been a bit of a stir up in the community lately regarding the concept of Heal Sniping and how it's viewed by different healers. I've already offered my thoughts on it in several different comments as I worked my way through each post, and I'm not going to rehash them here. However, all of this discussion did get me thinking about a tangentially related topic. Competition.
Competition is not a four letter word.
Something that regularly confuses me a little bit is why people tend to classify healing competition as a bad thing. I mean, we ask all of our DPS to compete with each other regularly. We even go so far as to look at who is on the top and who is on the bottom – and to an extent insinuate that those on the bottom should strive to be on the top. Granted, there are encounters where DPS are given special assignments that will hinder their DPS for the good of the raid, but generally DPS is a rat race to see who can contribute the most for any given encounter.
We expect this of them and consider it good play.
As such, I am always baffled when healers who are competitive often have their play spoken of in a derogatory fashion. Called "snipers" or "meter whores". Granted, healing isn't the same as DPS. Sometimes certain sacrifices have to be made that will invariably have an effect on output. Someone pouring their heart into the tank isn't likely going to match someone freely healing a raid taking heavy damage. But that shouldn't stop someone else pouring heals into the tank from trying to go heal for heal with their team-mate, or someone else healing the raid from trying to keep up with those pesky tranquilities.
In fact, I'll even go as far to say that competition amongst healers is equally as good as, if not better than, competition amongst DPS. I've never understood why someone wouldn't go into a raid and try to perform to their maximum capacity. Why someone wouldn't want to try to be the best on any given fight as both an individual and as a part of a team. I very firmly believe that healing is a team effort, but I also believe that each individual on that team has a responsibility to excel on a personal level every raid as well.
There is little glory winning a race run alone.
When I step into my raid each night, I have the mind set that I want to "win". Not just that we are going to down bosses. Not just that we are going to achieve our goals. But that I am going to push myself as a healer and do what it takes to run a race with my team and cross the finish line first. That isn't to say that I'm going to ignore my assignment. That isn't to say that I'm going to play poorly with my only focus on if I'm on top or on bottom. But it does mean that I'm going to step into that raid and push my limits. I'm not going to be content with "did my target die? No? Then I did my job". Because the truth is that when I'm healing I have twenty-five targets, the life of each is as valuable as the next. And if any one of those twenty-five die, I'm going to ask myself if there is something I could have done that would have made a difference.
Am I going to ignore the tank to blindly throw out rejuvs if he's at 50% health? No, I'm going to toss some love to the tank. But you're also damn skippy that I'm going to prepare the raid for set damage bursts. You can bet that I am going to figure out how to maximize my cooldowns to boost my output. And I'm going to say a small curse about how hard it is to keep up with all of that divine aegis being thrown out at the raid. All while watching 25 life bars and navigating where my heals are needed the most.
But do you know what I'm not going to do?
I'm not going to blame the priest whose casting his safety net around the raid, or the paladin that is just on top of everything and beating me to heal after heal, or that shaman with their damnable blue circles of goodness. I'm going to let them push me. I'm going to let them make my brain work to figure out how I can squeeze out the advantage in that last lap. I'm not going to keep looking behind me as I pass them to see how close they are (listening to them curse that damn tranquility as I gracefully run by), I'm going to keep pushing myself as hard as I can in an attempt to keep my positioning. I'm going to keep fighting as if I'm losing, reminding myself the fight isn't over until the fat dragon sings, because I sure as hell know that they doing the same thing. Just as I know that the healer behind the priest is trying to take that inside lap that will put her ahead of both of us in the eleventh hour.
And this is good for our team. After all, where is fun and the drive if one person is dominating everyone else? Sure, it might be nifty for a bit. But being humbled is healthy, and knowing that you had to work for that win is far more fulfilling.
Build a box, not a staircase.
One of the things that we regularly tell our DPS is that when we look at our parses we want to see a solid block of damage. We don't want to see a stepping stone to the guy at the top. Essentially, a parse that has a block of damage is one where everyone has relatively equal output on the encounter. It's my opinion that healers should largely strive for the same thing.
Healers that compete against each other, race each other in a nightly run, will build boxes much easier. Sure, there will be fights where that is much harder to achieve (I'm never going to keep up with our paladin/disc combo on Baleroc given my task for the fight) – but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try (and you better believe that I do!). Your ultimate goal every fight should be to have your parse look much like the one I linked at the start of this post. Where the top healer and the bottom are so close, that any one or two changes from anyone on the team could have completely shaken up the order of things.
But how do you do that?
With healthy competition. With each healer exploring not only the limits of their class, but their limits as a player. With each member of your healing team knowing their weaknesses and exploiting their strengths. A healer that doesn't know their weaknesses will never be able to effectively counter them with their strengths. In fact, I'd even go as far as to say that a healer who doesn't know their weaknesses will always struggle to be a competitive healer. Not only that, but a healer should also understand the strengths and weaknesses of their team, so that they can better support those weaknesses with their own strengths.
But Beru, you keep talking about healing on an individual level, but referring to it as a team. How can it be both?
Easily, a team player will always make sure that their priority is taken care of first – be it the tanks, the raid, whatever. A competitive team player will ask themselves the more individual questions of what more they can do while handling their given task. And a smart team player will figure out what their limitations are as a player and how far they can push them without hindering the team.
There is no reason that a strong healing team can't also be just as competitive as their DPS team. Healers that are exploring their boundaries and testing the limits of those boundaries to the success of the raid are going to be healers that can grow and adapt to more situations and foster a stronger understanding of their class, themselves as a player and how they fit into their healing team. It is a good thing to have healers with drive as long as they still respect the concept of teamwork. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive concepts.
The Battle for Lower HPS
WHAT?!?! Something that is unique to healing is that the stronger your overall healing team becomes, the lower each individual's HPS will become. While your raid HPS will stay relatively the same, your individual HPS will likely take a dip as your other healers claw their way to the top. That is because there is a more even split amongst the healing between the entire team. And that is a good thing.
As your team becomes stronger you can start to explore the possibility of reducing the number of healers that you bring to up the ante and add additional challenges for healers. This isn't something that we generally do as a guild, because we don't like to list healers just because we technically don't need as many anymore, but as we have more healers building DPS sets, we may start exploring it while letting healers DPS in an effort to keep the encounters fresh and challenging for everyone. However, to get to this point you need to have the drive in each healer to not only run the race every night but to try and win the race as well. The race is healthy, challenging and essential to growth as a player.
Spark some conversation with your fellow class mates to figure out the best way to work with (combat!) that pesky divine aegis or tranquility. Or how to help supplement those divine lights and holy lights with some HoTs to stabilize the tank. Keep in mind that competition isn't about linking the meters afterwards and saying "OWNED!". It's about striving to do better and win a race that you may have lost last week. It's about pushing the boundries of your class. It's about growing as a player. It's about having fun while healing. It's about the tells after a fight "damn that DA! I almost had you!" or "curse that tranquility! So OP!", but knowing that it's meant in a friendly way and acknowledging someone else's achievement.
Compeition Builds Better Healers.
Striving to be the best is not a bad thing. Being a competitive player is not a bad thing. Being on a team that is as equally as competitive as you are is not a bad thing. Encourage your healing team to let everyone spread their wings and explore their boundaries. Use your team mates to bounce ideas from gearing to little tricks you learned in an effort to strengthen each other. Encourage a little healthy competition. Work every raid to build a box. I promise you, your raid will be stronger for it in the end!
And lastly a personal note to my heal team: you guys make me a better player every night I have the privilege to raid with you. You push me to excel and find my limits. I cherish you when you win and even more when I can fight to make a comeback the next week. I look forward to our nightly races and am grateful to have each of you to push me ever farther down the road to exceptional. Someday perhaps we will even get there 🙂

Bridal mask / Gaksital Episode 01 - (English) TYPE5
Bridal Mask (Hangul: 각시탈; Hanja: 新娘面具; RR: Gaksital) is a KBS2 period drama based on the popular Korean manhwa by Huh Young-man. The setting takes place in Seoul, Korea during the 1930s Japanese colonial era. The plot of the TV drama is slightly different from the original graphic novel. The story follows a man named Lee Kang-to, a Korean police officer commissioned by the Japanese Police to betray his own country and aid the Japanese in the annihilation of the Korean rebellion. During his mission, he encounters a notorious masked man who dons a traditional Korean bridal mask to fight for Korea's independence by assassinating Japanese key officers. As the detective's hunt for Gaksital ("Bridal Mask") unravels, his eyes are slowly opened to the treacherous deeds he has been doing to his own countrymen. It stars Joo Won and Jin Se-yeon as the leads and with Shin Hyun-jun as the notorious masked hero of the Korean rebellion and brother to the main character.
Two brothers - Lee Kang-to and Lee Kang-san ? live in Seoul in the 1930's, oppressed under the Japanese rule. Kang-to, the younger brother, is a rising star in the police force and works with the Japanese police to capture "Bridal Mask," a mysterious freedom fighter who fights for independence wearing a Korean Bridal Mask. Later when Lee Kang-to's life is turned upside down, he dons the Bridal Mask and fights injustice and rights wrongs against the Japanese during one of the darkest periods of Korea's history. Kimura Shunji is a gentle Japanese teacher who has come to teach in Korea against his father's will. He is best friends with Kang-to and shares a loving relationship with his Korean nanny. He also falls in love with the fiercely patriotic Mok Dan, a woman who is in love with Kang-to, a twist that begins to change him into a darker person.
