Will Obama's student loan plan really help?
The president's new plan to ease student loan debt is getting mixed reviews from bloggers and students.
When I graduated from college back in the dark ages, my student loan payments were $51.26 a month. I think I remember the number exactly because it was an important line item on my post-college budget. After graduating, I moved back in with my parents until I found a full-time job six months later.
Today's graduates with student loans are in a different position -- facing payments of about $330 on an average debt of $27,204. In fact, U.S. student loan debt now exceeds the country's credit card debt.
On Wednesday President Obama announced a plan to ease the student loan burden for millions of borrowers with programs to lower monthly payments and consolidate loans, in addition to accelerating changes scheduled to take effect in 2014 through a law passed by Congress last year.
The new plan's major components:
- The income-based repayment program ("pay as you earn") will cap payments at 10% of borrowers' discretionary income. (The current program caps payments at 15%, and last year's law would have set the cap at 10% in 2014.) This could impact as many as 1.6 million Americans.
- Unpaid debt will be forgiven after 20 years of payments (compared with the current 25) -- another change originally planned for 2014.
- The plan's loan consolidation program will allow borrowers who have at least one federal student loan and one federally guaranteed private loan to consolidate the loans and reduce their interest rate by as much as half a percentage point, potentially helping 5.8 million borrowers. Post continues after video.
Shortcomings of the plan
Those most likely to be affected are borrowers in low-paying jobs with large debt. But, wrote a blogger at NonTradLaw:
Most of us aren't deciding whether to ... buy food or pay student loans. But there are huge numbers of graduates who are burdened significantly enough that they are unable to live normal lives; they can't afford to start families, they can't afford to move to more expensive cities to take a better jobs, they can't buy houses (or even move out of their parents' houses), they have no health care and aren't saving a penny for retirement, they can't buy anything that helps the rest of the economy recover, etc.
Other observations:
- It's not enough. "The monthly impact of the president's new effort for most Americans paying off college debt will be between $4 and $8," The Atlantic says.
- The new income-based repayment plan will only benefit new borrowers, Mark Kantrowitz noted on The New York Times' The Choice blog:
Recent college graduates, for example, will not benefit. Instead, the new income-based repayment plan will be available to new borrowers since 2008 who have at least one loan that originated in 2012 or later. Borrowers with loans from 2007 and earlier will not be eligible. Likewise, borrowers who don't have at least one loan from 2012 or later, like students who graduated in 2011 or earlier, also won't be eligible. Borrowers who are already in repayment will not be eligible.
- The plan will have no effect on millions of graduates who have private student loans.
- Borrowers already in default on student loans will not benefit.
- Unlike other types of debt, student loans cannot be forgiven in bankruptcy, and the new plan doesn't change that.
Loan debt reflects rising costs
One reason my loan debt was so low was that college simply cost less. Tuition for a full class load in my first year at the University of Washington was $229 per quarter. A new report says in-state college tuition at four-year public schools averages $8,244 a year, up 8.3% from 2010.
This chart in The Atlantic shows student loans have grown by 511% since 1999, while disposable income has increased by only 73%.
Tuition is increasing across the board, but public university students are feeling it most. As The New York Times reported:
This is the fifth consecutive year in which the public universities that serve most students raised their tuition at a faster rate than the far more expensive private universities. And over the last three decades, the report found, the average tuition at four-year state universities almost quadrupled.
More on MSN Money:
I'm not saying that's always the case...just in most cases
Unlike federal loans (even the unsubsidized ones) the interest rate is not regulated at all (mine are at 11.99% and many are higher) and as of 2005 they are treated the same as federal ones with regard to bankruptcy and collection powers of the lender. However these loans are for substantially higher amounts and do not have the benefits accorded to federal loans, such as easy forbearance, consolidation and income based repayment just to name a few. They are treated as any other unsecured debt except with regard to bankruptcy; this is wrong and gives lenders no reason to work with a borrower as they (the borrower) have no recourse.
Regardless of what "facts" people through around, there is not nor has there ever been a high incidence of bankruptcy fraud regarding student loans (or anything else for that matter) and the 2005 Bankruptcy Act gives lenders too much power and borrowers way to little. I do not advocate bankruptcy and people should pay back what they borrowed (I pay mine), that said there is a reason that we have and need bankruptcy protections. Student loans owed to a bank need to be treated as any other non-secured debt; student loans owed to the government should be treated as any other government debt. Anything else simply isn't just.
Please read the article before rushing to make such bitter comments, comparing yourself to others, you sound like uneducated people yourself. Nowhere in the article talks about paying somebody's bill. The cost of education is way too high even in the public universities (remember education is a "non-profit" entity) and that the plan, in simple words, suggests consolidating the student loans, lowering their interest rates, and implementing some type of income-base program.
So should those graduating from high school, sit around and wait for things to get better or, unless absolutely sure they are going to get a job after four years in college to then go get an education? Many of you want to preach about responsibility when the only responsibility they have at the time, is to go to college, study hard, and get a degree. Society has taught us that education is important that it opens the door to many opportunities, that through education you can make a decent living and be a good contributor to this society.
I pay my way in life too, it has not been easy. I graduated from college in 1999, I was working full-time while studying part-time and had to take student loans to pay for college that I will be done paying in 2016. But I am also aware that times were different then, and thank goodness I have always have a job and been able to pay my loans but firstly, THANKS to my EDUCATION.
Education should be affordable, student loans should have a lower interest rate, and given more time to start payments, 12 months or as soon as you get a job whichever happens first. I don't agree with total forgiveness of a student loan as the protesters are demanding it is an extreme demand but would get something done, forgiveness is not going to happen so calm down, stop been so bitter, and attacking those pursuing an education.
Keep in mind that Obama said his plan "WILL CARRY NO ADDITIONAL COST TO THE TAXPAYER". His plan calls for (1) Reducing the maximum repayment to 10% of discretionary income annually and (2) any remaining debt would be forgiven after 20 years. The definition for discretionary income: The amount of income that is left for spending, investing or saving after taxes and personal necessities (such as food, shelter,clothing, insurance and transportation have been paid. Let's start with a $40,000 student loan and a $40,000 annual salary and $10,000 annual discretionary income. The interest on the loan @ 6% is $2,400 per year and the borrower only has to pay 10% of their discretionary income ($1,000) so after year one their loan is now $41,400. Keep in mind that at the end of 20 years the remaining loan will be forgiven. Since this plan will be no cost to the taxpayer I can only assume the Tooth Fairy will pay the remaining loan.
Well I think that tuition is outrageous, even at the community college level. I think that the Government should not GUARENTEE student loans anymore. Privitize this such as an insurance policy. That is an unrealistic burden to place on those who don't utilize the student loans in the first place. See people aren't forced to attend college, and in turn aren't forced to take out student loans. They do this freely, and banks should either give the loan or not. Insurance companies should be the insurers, not the Government. Tax incentives can be given to companies for extending grants as well as those whom give to the colleges of their choice. Wouldn't it be a great society if no one had to worry or be burdened with paying for an education? But we don't live in such a society.
So when you consolidate loans, why are they still considered "Federal" loans? The Government doesn't consolidate the loans, banks do.

The Arizona Supreme Court on Wednesday will rule on a death row inmate's appeal of his convictions and sentences.
Stephen Reeves was sentenced to death after being convicted in Maricopa County Superior Court for the June 2007 killing of Norma Contreras at the business where she worked.
Reeves took Contreras' car keys, cellphone and wallet but was arrested within minutes because a customer at a nearby business heard Contreras' screams and called 911.
A jury convicted Reeves of murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, burglary and car theft.
Part of Reeve' appeal focused on how he was sentenced to death.
The jury couldn't agree on a sentence during the penalty phase, so the trial judge declared a mistrial. A new jury then determined that Reeves should be sentenced to death.

HTC Releases Android Source Code for Mobile Phones
After repeated calls from developers, HTC has now released the Android source code for a number of its mobile phones.
Publicizing the source code satisfies at least two wishes of HTC fans, as Slashgear.com indicates: it brings HTC up to date with kernel licensing requirements, and provides opportunities to build more custom ROMs to enrich the mobile phone features.
The source code for the HTC Hero, Magic and Dream models is at developer.htc.com, which also contains HTC's proprietary binaries for ADP1.
Nice PostWe need to make sure about the security issues and our expectation are really high

Tread carefully with baby Berkshires
Do your homework before investing in the highly popular Berkshire Hathaway B shares.
By Don Dion, TheStreet
Warren Buffett broke his own rules when he split Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) shares to pay for the acquisition of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI), but the move appears to have paid off.
Since the 50-for-1 split on Jan. 20, Berkshire Hathaway's B Shares (BRK.B) has been on an upward trajectory as investors pile into the firm in hopes of gaining access to the mind of the savviest investor around.
From the day of the split to Feb. 3, the company's B shares have jumped more than 6%, while the S&P has dipped more than 3%. Class A Berkshire shares have gained throughout the period, jumping 7%.
Aside from the strong returns, the reduced price of the baby Berkshires has led to a staggering increase in volume. Prior to the division, high prices have kept B-share volume light.
However, on Jan. 20, the day of the split, the B shares' volume jumped to over 1.2 million shares, more than double of the previous day. At one point since the split, the single-day volume nearly reached 2 million shares. This popularity is expected to continue after the S&P 500 adds the stock to the index.
With prices still within the reach of the average investor, it may be time to consider adding Berkshire B Shares as a small position in a well diversified portfolio. Time is of the essence, however, because of the popularity of the stock and the fact that Buffett has said that no additional B share would be issued in the future.
Before jumping in, investors need to do their homework.
Though it will soon find its place in the S&P 500, Berkshire Hathaway is considerably different from the many of its peers. When buying the B shares, you are not buying a single entity. Rather, holding Berkshire is akin to holding a basket of companies Buffett has taken bets on during his impressive investing tenure. Therefore, as in the case with ETFs and mutual funds, investors need to be aware of the companies they are getting into.
Looking at Buffett's most recent holdings report, it quickly becomes apparent that the company has a huge percentage of its portfolio dedicated to its top two holdings: Coca-Cola (KO) and Wells Fargo (WFC). More than a third of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio is dedicated solely to these two companies.
As with other financial instruments with top-heavy weighting, investors are particularly vulnerable to any violent market swings. If either of these top companies takes a considerable hit, there could be a gut-wrenching drop.
This risk is further multiplied if, on top of owning Berkshire Hathaway, investors already hold large positions in these heavily weighted firms via their common stocks.
Additionally, investors need to be aware that Berkshire Hathaway is not a static company. On the contrary, over the course of holding shares of Buffett's firm, there is a good chance that underlying positions will shift, holdings will be dropped and new positions will be added. As a result, investors need to be prepared for any impact these changes may have on the company's stock value.
Though Buffett has proven his investing excellence time and again, playing Berkshire Hathaway should not be a passive process. Rather, to avoid the risks that can come with holding a dynamic play like B shares, investors need to keep a watchful eye on not just their BRK.B positions, but their entire portfolios.

I love that painting
I love that painting
your couch is fantastic! did you buy it or DIY it?
This room is by far my favorite so far. I love every single thing about it. Its unique with a ton of personality!!
Do I detect a Led Zep album on the turntable ??
just when i thought i couldn't love it anymore, the album! I pinned this room of course.
I need a turntable!
We based our wedding colors on Darjeeling Limited's blue and gold motif! It's nice to see someone else loved the colors as much as we did!
This is great...But it looks a tad harsh where the blue meets the white....did you consider painting the angled part blue also?
That ceiling reminds me so much of the upstairs ceiling in my grandparents' house. I had actually forgotten all about that little detail, so thanks!
Fabulous. Hell, it looks so nice you might as well paint all the walls blue. I loved the look of that movie too!
One of my faves. But you guys should go all out and do the whole room! Accent walls are pfft.
I agree, do the whole room! That blue is fabulous!
I remember this from a couple of years ago. Love the kitty.
Mission accomplished! This looks fantastic!
I loooove your couch!
Super cool, I love it! Just please center the painting over the couch! :)
Oh yeah, definitely do the rest in blue. And I LOVE the rug!
I prefer the one accent wall and the others white. Too much blue would be too much blue. And I love the story of your inspiration!
What a great blue. Keep it just the way it is. The white walls with the sheers let the eye rest. Very nice.
Aweome blue! Looks really great with your orange couch!
I love that you were able to do blue/orange well! My living room leans toward that, but I'm never quite willing to take the plunge. And your couch is ah-mazing!
Favorited because of my shared love the DJ Ltd inspiration.
Wonderful colors!
I recognize the yellow dining chair (or barstool?) In 1974 we bought a table and four chairs and two barstools just like it for our new house. I wish we still had them.
I love this room, but I think I voted for it last year. Are you allowed to enter the same room multiple years? Or am I just thinking of a very similar room?
The blue-gold combo is winner, for sure. That whole first picture is great. I think I prefer the room without the red rug (the second pic shows the room without the rug).
Cassis: Yes, this room has appeared in an AT contest before, as have a number of other rooms.
I love what you started with the couch. You should keep it going around the room! Why not paint the other walls blue? :)

Technical Review Workgroup for Metals and Asbestos (TRW)
The TRW is an interoffice workgroup convened by the U.S. EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response/Office of Superfund Remediation and
Technology Innovation (OSWER/OSRTI). Its goal is to support and promote consistent application of the best science in the field of risk assessment for metals
and asbestos at contaminated sites nationwide. The TRW is composed of several committees: Lead Committee, Arsenic Committee, Asbestos Committee,
and Bioavailability Committee.
Lead Committee MissionThe Lead Committee Mission reviews applications of metals and asbestos risk assessment methodologies at hazardous waste sites. Primarily, these reviews are intended to promote the application of scientifically sound and consistent approaches to risk assessment. The Lead Committee is responsible for developing national guidance and documentation on the structure, application, and validation of the IEUBK model. The Lead Committee reviews applications of other exposure, uptake, and biokinetic models used to assess lead risks at sites in which children are not expected to be the most sensitive population, such as industrial land use scenarios. The Lead Committee also advises Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI) management on risk assessment concerns for metals and asbestos.
Expertise of the Lead CommitteeThe principal members of the Lead Committee are technical staff from EPA Regions, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Headquarters, and Office of Research and Development National Center for Environmental Assessment (ORD/NCEA). Lead Committee members generally have an active interest and recognized scientific expertise in metals or asbestos risk assessment.
Annual Reports
The TRW Lead Committee Annual Reports describing the actions taken by the Committee during the past year. The Annual Report presents the accomplishments and activities of the TRW Lead Committee, as well as a list of current and former TRW Lead Committee members.
- 2013 TRW Lead Committee Annual Report (PDF) (9 pp, 1.49 MB)
If you have questions regarding the reports, please contact Michele Burgess at firstname.lastname@example.com or 703-603-9003.
Accessing the Lead Committee
Regional and state risk assessors and project managers may submit written or electronic requests for Lead Committee review to the Lead Committee co-chairs:
- Scott Everett, email@example.com Utah Department of Environmental Quality
- Charles Partridge, firstname.lastname@example.com U.S. EPA Region 8
- Michele Burgess, email@example.com U.S. EPA OSRTI Washington, D.C.
Response from the Lead Committee
For a response to a site-specific request:
For a response to a technical question:Questions concerning the use of the IEUBK software may be submitted to the Technical Review Workgroup Technical Support.
The time required for the Lead Committee to complete a site-specific review will depend on the nature of the request and the extent of the review requested (i.e., a brief consultation or a thorough, in-depth review). Because the Lead Committee meets bi-monthly via teleconference, a substantial request for assistance should be submitted at least two months prior to a desired response.
The purpose of a Lead Committee review is to provide scientifically sound and consistent guidance to assist Regions and States in the appropriate use of the IEUBK model (or other risk assessment methodologies). The Lead Committee's written response and recommendations offer scientific support for the appropriate applications of the IEUBK model; however, Regions and States are neither required nor obligated to implement Lead Committee recommendations in site-specific risk assessments.

The state has selected six organizations to oversee health care for some of the neediest adults in Massachusetts, as it works to streamline coverage for about 110,000 people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.
The program is aimed at saving money and lessening the confusion for doctors and patients caused by the two programs sharing responsibility for bills. Many dually eligible people have complex and costly health needs, including mental illnesses, developmental disabilities, or drug and alcohol addictions.

Buying all the 364 gifts named in "The Twelve Days of Christmas" song will cost you more than it did last year.
According to the annual PNC Christmas Price Index, the grand total comes to more than $107,000, which is up six-percent over 2011.
Blame the birds, musicians and jewelry. Geese-a-laying are up more than 29-percent this year. Three French Hens and Seven Swans-a-Swimming have also increased because this year's drought drove up feed costs. Eleven pipers piping and 12 drummers drumming cost 5-and-a-half percent more this year, and five golden rings soared more than 16-percent thanks to rising gold prices. Six items mentioned in the song have stayed the same price. They are: the Partridge, Turtle Doves, Calling Birds, Maids-A-Milking, Ladies Dancing and the Lords-A-Leaping.

Old Quarter
Hanoi's Old Quarter is a must see and arguably the most popular of all of Hanoi's sights. Dating back to the 15th century this crowded and bustling district of 36 narrow streets is the perfect place for sightseeing, shopping, eating or sipping tea in one of the many tea houses. Whether you are walking or taking a cyclo tour you'll love visiting the heart and soul of old Hanoi.
Address: near Hoan Kiem lake
Address: Centre of Hanoi
Hanoi Opera House
Built by the French between 1901 and 1911 the Opera House has classic colonial French architecture and is a small-scale replica of the Palais Garnier, the older of Paris's two opera houses. Today the Opera House still plays concerts, ballet, symphonies, opera and jazz concerts.
Address: 1 Trang Tien Street, Hanoi. Get tickets www.ticketvn.com
Dong Xuan Market
Address: Hang Ngang Street, Hanoi (West end of Old Quarter)
Cyclo Tour
Originally known as a Rickshaw today's modern Cyclo is one of the most typical vehicles in Hanoi. (Three wheeled bike with driver riding behind seated passengers) It's a cheap and efficient form of transport but for tourists it's a great way to tour the city and an exhilarating experience but be warned, especially in the bustling downtown area, a Cyclo ride is not for the feint hearted. Hanoi is home to some 4 million motorbikes, and where road rules hardly matter, for the uninitiated the traffic is somewhat overwhelming.
Thang Long Water Puppet Theater
Address: 57b Dinh Tien Hoang Str., Hanoi – Vietnam
Van Mieu – Temple of Literature
Hanoi's first university including the Temple of Literature dating back to the 11th century was built in honour of Confucius. Throughout its more than 700 years of activity, thousands of Vietnamese scholars and philosophers have graduated. Today the collection of buildings and courtyards is a peaceful retreat from the streets of Hanoi and is worth a visit for the traditional Vietnamese architecture and peaceful ambience.
Address: Pho Quoc Tu Giam St, Dong Da District, Hanoi
Address: 1 Bach Thao, Ba Dinh District, Hanoi
Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum
The resting place of the revered leader Ho Chi Minh. Silence reigns as visitors file past for a glimpse of this illustrious leader. Free admission
Address: Ba Dinh Square, Hanoi
Hoa Lo Prison
Address Hoả Lò, Hànội
Halong Bay – Day Tour
Visiting Vietnam travellers cannot miss one destination that epitomises the beauty and the people of Vietnam – Halong Bay. Three hours east of the country's capital Hanoi, Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring thousands of awe inspiring limestone rock formations, islands with caves and grottos. Visit as a day trip from Hanoi or to spend an overnight aboard one of the classic sailing Junks
Hanoi is a wonderful city to explore and obviously there are many more places to visit. If any reader has a personal favourite please help expand this list by adding a comment below

Students from several Las Vegas valley high schools were rewarded for filling local car dealership showrooms with holiday cheer.
The Valley Automall in Henderson played host to the 15th annual Holiday Tree Decorating Contest on Nov. 30.
Centennial High School paid tribute to teachers with its themed tree, also transforming a Fiat into a school bus. The "Teachers Rule" tree won the school's International Club first place and $3,000.
Cheyenne High School took second place honors and $2,000 with a tree inspired by the Las Vegas Strip.
A "CSI" themed tree from Sunrise Mountain High School won third place. The school's student council provided a chalk outline of a snowman as part of its decoration piece. The tree won $1,000 for the school.
A total of 20 schools entered in the contest, which was judged by FOX5's Elizabeth Watts and John Dabkovich, among others.
Organizers said the cash prizes help aid extracurricular programs at the high schools.
You can check out the decorations at each of the 20 dealer showrooms at the Valley Automall located off U.S. 95 at Auto Show Drive. You can also go to valleyautomall.com for more information.

You may have caught the buzz around a recent pitch for IT power in the C-suite. The idea, nicely caught in an ITinCanada headline on a report by Cogeco Data Services, is that "Canadian IT execs want the CEO job." All good stuff, on the IT side of the senior management table.
If only it were that easy. Because the other side of the table may be a little hostile these days. Continue Reading >>

It is only when we no longer compulsively need someone that we can have a real relationship with them.
A happy marriage perhaps represents the ideal of human relationship -- a setting in which each partner, while acknowledging the need of the other, feels free to be what he or she ...
The professional must learn to be moved and touched emotionally, yet at the same time stand back objectively: I've seen a lot of damage done by tea and sympathy.

I want to see the world. I want to wake up under the Tuscan sun; to sip a cup of my morning tea in Morocco; to surf for breakfast in Siargao; to eat the authentic thin crust pizza in Italy for lunch. The list could go on endlessly.
I look for adventure everyday. I want to experience something that I've never experienced ever before. By doing this, I feel that I am making my stay here on Earth worthwhile. Who wants to sit behind a desk for a long time or lie around and watch TV when there's so much to see and experience?
You don't have to go far and wide to get a taste of adventure. As you open your eyes in the morning, something new is definitely bound to happen ONLY IF you well let it happen. Embrace the change in routine and try out something unusual and fresh on a daily basis. Stop living under a rock and continue searching for the experience that will arouse your soul. Make it last but don't linger. Don't waste your time fixating on one thing but rather break the monotony and do something you've never done before!
Here's the start of documenting my own little adventures. :)

Friday Music Block
8 p.m. - Live From the Artists Den
Norah Jones: Brooklyn resident Norah Jones didn't have to travel far from home to film her episode of "Live from the Artists Den." In front of 200 invited guests, she performed a stunning career-spanning set at the historic Green Building in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens neighborhood. The rough-hewn beauty of the former brass foundry was a spectacular backdrop the 20-song retrospective, ranging from her breakthrough hit, "Don't Know Why," to her latest single, "Happy Pills," before concluding with an encore that saw her and her band gathered around an old-time microphone, offering sweet harmonies to send a delighted audience into the night.
9 p.m. - Austin City Limits
Jason Isbell/Neko Case: ACL presents modern roots rock with Jason Isbell and Neko Case. Isbell performs tunes from his acclaimed LP Southeastern, while Case sings songs from her latest album.
Sunday Lifestyle Programming Block
5 p.m. - Illinois Pioneer
5:30 p.m. - Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions
Connecting The Dots In America: During Burt's 40 years of reporting, he has lived through a half-dozen recessions in the United States and visited dozens of countries during their economic downturns. In this program, he travels across the U.S. talking to people who have made our nation economically stronger - creative entrepreneurs with great imaginations who started small businesses based on their innovative ideas and technology and made fortunes for themselves and the people who helped them get started.
6 p.m. - All-Star Orchestra: Mahler: Love, Sorrow and Transcendence
Gustav Mahler: Rueckert Lieder (Songs from Latter Days) Soloist: Nancy Maultsby; Gustav Mahler: "Totenfeier" ("Funerary Rites" - 1st Mvt. from Symphony No. 2); Augusta Read Thomas: Of Paradise and Light; Bernard Rands: Adieu. Mahler's turbulent loves are expressed through his music. His settings of poems by Friedrich Rueckert explore themes of love, nature, and otherworldliness. Mahler was haunted throughout his life by the premonition of his own death. The first movement of his 2nd Symphony draws stark contrasts between the composer's premonition of doom, and his vision of life. Modern parallels can be found in "Adieu" by Bernard Rands and "Of Paradise and Light" by his wife, composer Augusta Read Thomas. Both comment on the unique dynamics of creative/personal partnerships.
7 p.m. - Antiques Roadshow: Vintage Des Moines
Fifteen years after first visiting Des Moines, Iowa, ANTIQUES ROADSHOW looks back on featured items to see if their value has changed. Highlights include a Rambling Mickey Mouse toy with its original box, ca. 1934; Charles Lindbergh memorabilia; and a Samuel McIntire medallion that has soared in value from $70,000-$90,000 to $200,000 - $300,000.

When Did You Start at WEIU? 2010
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: This is a tough one! I'm a fan of everything we do both on the air as well as in the world of education. But truth be told, my favorites are locally produced programs. Heartland Highways gives me a chance to see some of the many amazing places in this wonderful area we call home. I've seen places on Heartland Highways that lifelong east central Illinois residents didn't know existed...and then made the short drive to see those places up close and personal myself. And I've learned so much about some of the most interesting people who are our neighbors.
Another of my top three would be Four Rivers Ag Report. Though I'm not a farmer, I live on a working farm and see the daily ag activity that drives our area. No matter what we do, we are a part of agriculture. And I find that fascinating. The things I've learned about our farm community as a result of Four Rivers are pretty amazing. And as much as Four Rivers Ag Report focuses on the farmers in our area, it does just as good a job of celebrating our rural lifestyle.
Last but not least is News Watch. There is nowhere else to find the kind of coverage News Watch provides our area. Even in a world of 24/7 online and cable/satellite news services, I find News Watch the only place to watch and learn what's happening in OUR community. It's unique.
What have you learned while working at WEIU? This could be a chapter in itself!In my case, I came to WEIU after working in public broadcasting for decades.I'd worked for many stations in many parts of the country. My fascination with WEIU was two-fold: The fact that WEIU is MORE than a PBS station, and the opportunity to live in this incredible community. Being a part of a non-commercial TV station that goes so far beyond programming what most PBS stations provide has allowed me to learn an amazing number of new things about our world. And being in the east central Illinois community has taught me just how special and unique this place is. I've learned that what may appear on the outside to be an unchanging environment becomes a wealth of different sights, sounds and experiences with the march of the seasons, the constantly varying weather and the beautiful lighting variations of each passing day.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? WEIU is certainly not like most TV stations. We're obviously nothing like a commercial TV station which is funded by commercials based on the number of people watching each program. Yet, we're also different than most non-commercial TV stations, as well ... both in what we air and who we aim to serve. And that's important to me. As I've seen more of the media universe surround us with an array of programs, news, shopping channels and pretty much anything you could imagine, I still find WEIU the ONLY place where I can learn about MY neighbors and MY community. I know such a service is not going to be supported by other communities or by commercial sponsors. I frankly wouldn't expect it to be. So I find it important to support that service that serves me and the people who are my neighbors. It seems to be part of the American way of taking care of those things that are important to us. At least that's how I see it!
WEIU is very important to me and I hope to you, as well.
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Jack? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
If I wasn't able to watch WEIU, I don't know what I would do. I would most likely throw my television in the trash! I will continue to support good television and WEIU is GREAT TV.

Red Hat Expands Developer Offerings with JBoss Developer Studio
Red Hat today announced the global availability of JBoss Developer Studio, the first open source, Eclipse-based, integrated development environment combining tooling with runtime. JBoss Developer Studio provides a simple, powerful and easy-to-use solution for developers utilizing JBoss Enterprise Middleware. The solution provides a stable end-to-end, lifecycle environment for application development and deployment, enabling enterprises to respond more quickly and efficiently to rapidly changing business requirements.
JBoss Developer Studio eliminates the need to assemble individual development environments, allowing developers and IT departments to utilize the complete solution from JBoss in one easily delivered installation. Featuring pre-integrated tools and out-of-the-box capabilities, the solution leverages the high-calibre Eclipse-based developer tools that were first made available as open source software on JBoss.org. Since its initial beta release in August, there have been over 100,000 downloads of the test builds for Developer Studio, serving as a clear indicator of the developer community's interest in an open source and friction-free development platform for developing their applications.
"JBoss Developer Studio makes open source middleware software easy to consume, maintain, use and support in cross-platform development environments," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, Middleware Business at Red Hat. "This solution will appeal to developers, while more effectively ensuring that enterprises can develop software better and faster, and with greater confidence. We believe Developer Studio will accelerate the use of open source software around the globe and throughout enterprises."
JBoss Developer Studio incorporates Eclipse tooling, integrated JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, and also comes with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for development use and full access to Red Hat Network. Developer Studio also features tooling for technologies, including Java EE, JBoss Seam and Ajax, Hibernate and Persistence, JBoss jBPM, Struts and Spring IDE. The combination of these components provides developers with a stable solution that offers matched tooling, easy upgrades and the same runtime environment in development as in production.

sashathespudqueenbraus asked: HALLO DA! ...HI!
- First impression: Awww yis, more Heathen frands!
- Truth is: Having you as a follower has been, thus far, a fascinating and unique experience!
- How old do you look: I don't think I've seen your face to judge this. Though I'm sure you look either appropriate for your age, or younger!
- Have you ever made me laugh: Yis!
- Have you ever made me mad: Nuh.
- Best feature: Impeccable taste in people. :B
- Have I ever had a crush on you: More so a squish, really.
- You're my: Reliable bowstring!
- Should you post this too? If you'd like!
The connector is going bad. There is a way to fix it, but it's extremely complicated and requires removing the protective covering over the wiring. Unless you have a lot of experience with wiring, I wouldn't recommend attempting it.
Yeah, no. I usually end up buying new ones. My experience with wire-repair = NOPE.
My sympathies, RB. I've found the closer I get to understanding who I am, the more I disagree with those who'd claim the same label.
Why I don't tell people that I'm an on the fence Heathen.
paronomaniac: Likewise. I'm glad to have a closely-knit group to surround me with in-the-flesh, and help keep me sane, in the Heathen context. But still, the internet is a crazy place for people to shit their nonsense all over other peoples' space.
thorsgoddess: Completely understandable.
Is it sad that my first thought was "Christians are so cute when they think they can convert Pagans."?
Ick. Sorry that happened, Charles. Awkward religion conversion attempts really suck.
I had to explain Fyrnsidu to a Muslim acquaintance of mine yesterday which was super awkward.
I was once approached by the "Campus Crusaders for Christ" (yes I am still trying to figure out how no one caught that during approval) and invited to a Bible study while I was wearing my Mjölnir. Apparently not many people understand what it means..
What, was he crying to try and get you to feel bad for being heathen? SOB YOU HURT MY CHRISTIAN FEELINGS, I AM SO OPPRESSED SOB JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH, WHY DON'T YOU LOVE HIM BACK, HE EVEN DIED FOR YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM
Well done, you! And I must say, I know exactly how you feel.
First off; thank you all for the support. It's a strange situation, and I have the funniest feeling that I may be singled out by the 'group' of Christian music students because I wear a Heathen symbol openly. I don't know for certain.
lokeanconcubine: <3 All of the feels.
musesanonymous: Honestly, I can't say for certain. I won't claim to be able to read people like books, but it started out as a very civil discourse on culture, music, oral tradition, etc. and chosen career paths. Then it went on a downhill spiral, and became progressively weird. :<
thorsgoddess: The word 'crusader' would have tipped me off something fierce. Did they think it was an anchor, perhaps a Tau?
sinnsreachdheathen: It ends up being that way many times, I've found.
ipreferdreamland: That they do, Jenna, that they do.
novashadows: Cute? Maybe, just a little. Insulting? Wholeheartedly.
thorsgoddess said: I think he left the sows and young ones alone. It was the males I think he was more concerned about because they were the most aggressive.
Yes, and no. While solitary males have the most infamy as being aggressive, and in many cases this is true, I'd like to argue that the most aggressive ones are sows with young. Mostly due to the motherly instincts to protect their young, as well as to absolutely destroy anything that believes itself capable of preying on said young, or the mother herself.
I just try to stay away from them all around mating season, because I try to stay as far away from manipulating population growth/control as possible. That kind of stuff, I'd prefer to have no hand in at crucial times of the year.
Edit: though I suppose I could be confusing 'aggressive' and 'dangerous' a touch.
thorsgoddess said: Yeah… my dad used to only go up to hunt boars just to keep them from destroying the deers' habitat.
Understandable. Sometimes culling is necessary from a conservationist perspective, though I often wish it could be accomplished naturally without the aid of humans.
That being said, people often don't know how to react when I vehemently state my requirements when it comes to hunting. No Sounders, or sows with piglets. Only solitary males. I get weird looks sometimes, and it could be my tone of voice, but that's my moral compass when it comes to hunting boar. I stand by it.
I recommend to the anon to try perhaps a different brand of tampons. For me, Tampa Pearl is the most comfortable for me, but Kotex U works in a pinch. It took me a while to correctly insert it. On a day when you're at home just work on inserting it. Looking at a side view of…
thorsgoddess! Please continue on this one, or something like that. Your message cut off.
Also, I hope the Anon in particular is paying attention.
sashathespudqueenbraus asked: I'm playing Homestuck because of you. KDFJF;AFJ;DKFJ;KA THERE GOES MY FREE TIME.
Yes. Good.
thorsgoddess replied to your post: I'm sure you already saw it, but according to the nems360 site, No on Prop 26 won.RICK PERRY YOU BETTER BE FUCKING LOOKING AT THIS.

Responding to the will of God, suffering
By Sean Martin
Like many others within the Siouxland area, I, too, have been affected by the flooding. And like many others, I have been frustrated, upset, and hurt by this natural disaster. I received a phone call from my wife while I was at our Diocesan Totus Tuus Teacher Training that was held at Corpus Christi in Fort Dodge. She explained to me what was happening where we were residing in Dakota Dunes, and what the emergency management officials were telling everyone. After many discussions between us and others and much prayer over the next day or so, we decided that we needed to immediately move our family and all our belongings to higher ground. This was a very difficult decision to make on many levels. It hasn't been easy by any means, but we both think it was the best decision that we could have made at the time. It was made very apparent from the moment we made the decision that the Lord's hand was present in all of it. We were able to rent a moving truck and we were generously offered a place to stay in a matter of hours from when we decided to move. Through many confirmations, it seems to me this move was the will of God.
How do we know the will of God in our lives? What should our response be toward the will of God?
Why do bad things happen to good people?
What should our response be to suffering?

SPOKANE, Wash – It's an unfortunate shooting that has polarized the Inland Northwest: was the shooting death of man killed while in the process of stealing a car a justified shooting?
While there is still no definite answer, we are learning more about the moments that lead up to the shooting in the 1400 block of N. Lee in Spokane just before 8 a.m. Monday.
Court records released Wednesday show that Spokane Police are investigating the shooting death of Brendon Kaluza-Graham, 25, as second-degree murder. However, nobody has been charged in the crime.
Records show Gail Gerlach, 56, told police he left his SUV running in his driveway and stepped into the garage. But when he came out, a man was in the driver's seat backing the SUV out. Gerlach called 911 and chased after his SUV on foot down N. Lee. But then, records show, he saw the man in the driver's seat turn around, raise his arm, and Gerlach saw what he thought was a gun.
He told police he thought the man, later identified as Kaluza-Graham, was going to shoot, so he pulled out his 9 mm and fired one shot into the SUV.
The medical examiner reported that shot hit Kaluza-Graham in the head, and he died at the scene two blocks from where the SUV was stolen.
Gerlach does have a concealed weapons permit, and police say the 9 mm was on his body when the SUV was stolen. Gerlach owns a local plumbing business founded by his father.
Police explained a little more Wednesday about why the case is being investigated as second-degree murder, but no charges have been filed.
"If you look on the search warrant it says 'name the felony herein,' so that's the crime we're investigating," Spokane Police Lt. Mark Griffiths said, referring to the warrant to search the stolen SUV for evidence. "That doesn't mean we're going to find evidence of that crime, but that is what we are looking for."
Lt. Griffiths said the case could still boil down to self-defense; that determination will be up to the prosecutor. Spokane Police may make a recommendation on whether charges should be filed, but have not decided whether they will.
In searching the SUV in which Kaluza-Graham was shot and killed, police did not find a weapon.
