The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro N. Mayorkas published a memo on January 15th, 2010 outlining remedies, other than Temporary Protected Status, that are available to nationals and habitual residents of Haiti affected by the January 12th earthquake there.
In the memo addressed to Field Leadership, USCIS Director Mayorkas outlined the measures saying:
"As discussed in more detail below, USCIS will implement procedures to adjudicate favorably, where possible, applications for change or extension of nonimmigrant status following the expiration of an applicant's period of admission; grant an additional period of parole or advance parole in appropriate cases; and authorize "F" nonimmigrant students' requests for off-campus employment work authorization. USCIS will also expedite the processing of advance parole applications and relative petitions for minor children from affected areas."
Based on this new memo, Haitian nationals currently in the United States in valid nonimmigrant visa status may file a Form I-539 application, to extend their current nonimmigrant visa status or to change their status to a different nonimmigrant visa status. Director Mayorkas encourages field office Directors to exercise their discretion in favor of these applicants absent compelling adverse factors. For instance, Haitian nationals who are currently maintaining B-1/B-2 nonimmigrant status, who are unable to return home, are eligible to file for a 6 month extension of their status. Further, applicants who were unable to extend their status prior to the expiration date their status, as required, will receive a reprieve until March 12, 2010. However, applicants filing after the expiration date of their current status, seeking protection under this reprieve, will need to demonstrate that they were unable to return to Haiti prior to the expiration of their status due to the earthquake that occurred there on January 12th.
USCIS is also granting an automatic extension until March 12, 2010 of advance parole (i.e. travel document), to all foreign nationals who are currently in Haiti and are outside of the United States if their advance parole document expires between January 12, 2010 and March 12, 2010. Parolees (i.e. holder of advance parole documents) may apply for an extension beyond March 12, 2010. Further, persons in the United States on parole may now apply for an Employment Authorization Document (i.e. work permit). Moreover, the USCIS will expedite the processing of any advance parole application, where the applicant needs to travel to Haiti for emergent reasons.
Haitian students who are studying in the U.S. on F-1 student visas are also provided a remedy under this memo. F-1 students who may not be able to continue to cover to cost of attending school on a full-time basis may be granted employment authorization provided that permission was granted to accept off-campus employment by the Designated School Official.
Moreover the USCIS will promptly adjudicate EAD applications for foreign nationals that were granted an Order of Supervision pursuant to a stay of removal proceedings by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys have some issues at the punter position after veteran
It left the Cowboys scrambling for practice on Wednesday with place-kicker
Obviously against the Ravens in a game where field position will be vital, the Cowboys would like to have an experienced punter – and a healthy one, too.
It's likely Moorman won't be able to play this week, but the Cowboys are holding out hope for Jones, who suffered the injury against the Bucs on Sept. 23 when he was roughed by a Tampa Bay defender. The week before, he was hit by the Seahawks, who blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown.
Jones injury prompted the club to sign Moorman, who had a stellar debut against the Bears on Oct. 1, when he had two downed inside the 10-yard line. The 10-year veteran of the Bills was released two weeks ago and the Cowboys promptly signed him after realizing the nature of Jones' injury.
The injuries to both punters have also affected Bailey in the kicking game. Both Jones and Moorman have held for Bailey on place-kicks. So in practice this week, the Cowboys will have to work either

Laurent is a French name which stems from Latin roots referring to 'Laurentum' in Italy. The French meaning of the name is that the bearer of the name is someone who comes from the place with all the laurel trees. In English, the name Laurent became Lawrence or got shortened to Larry or Lori. The feminine version of the name Laurent (since many originally French names had a male and a female version) is Laurence.
Laurent is a decidedly unpopular name in the US, never having made it onto the top 1000 list of baby boys' names. In Belgium, on the other hand, the name Laurent was 252nd in 2002. In Australia it is slightly less popular than in Belgium, but still much more popular than it is in the US. In Australia, the name Laurent was the 533rd most popular given name for boys in 1999.[1]

The victims are the driver and passenger in a car rear-ended by a semi on US-127 Tuesday afternoon.
National Engineers week kicked off in Lansing today, with some Michigan State University students inspiring the young minds of the future.
Impressions 5 Science Center hosted its annual "engineering day", which allows students at MSU to spread their love for the subject with families all across the Mid-Michigan area.
"It can be an interesting and fun area, its not just the math and the equations and the physics," said Justin Roe, MSU junior engineering student.
And they got to share their knowledge and passion today.
"We are celebrating engineering as a science and most importantly getting students involved from our community so MSU is here presenting really cool science that engineers actually did," said Micaela Balzer Director of Innovation & Learning at Impressions 5 Science Center.
Several engineering activities aimed to help engage kids and get them thinking.
"I think its really important to get kids motivated and into engineering and sciences," said Dana Alhasson Student Engineering Council at MSU. "And show them that it is fun and its not a scary field to go into."
"Hopefully students at an early age get out and learn about all these things and get interested in it quick because there is definitely a shortage of engineers and scientists out there," said Roe.
But the students are trying to change that, one child at a time.
"They see someone maybe that is like them," said Balzer. "A young girl could see another young lady in engineering field and so its really interesting for the kids to be able to project and see kind of in the future."
A future that many say is invaluable.
"And once that interest kind of snowballs into a real career choice or a real school choice, that's what going to benefit everybody," said Roe.

Is it possible to have $10-20 Dinner near Bryant Park?
So we're staying just north of Bryant Park and I am looking at the surrounding areas to eat. Many of the places have their dinner entrees in the $20-$35 range which is like a lot in our budget.
I am wondering if anyone could share their experience of somewhere nice in the area they went to but was reasonably priced.
We would be willing to walk away from Broadway to check out better restaurants that could give better value but also great experience.
Hmm I've stumbled upon a St. Andrew's Prix-Fixe dinner that seems pretty reasonable in value.
$29.95 - Appetizer, Entree, Desert, Coffee/Tea
Little Brazil is 46th Street between 5th and 6th. Perhaps someone can give you more specific recommendations. It is not highly regarded on this website, but I like Virgils bbq (44 st between 6th and 7th), and the pigout platter, which is more than enough for two (really, trust me), is like $24. John's pizza on 44th between 7th and 8th is not bad, reasonably priced and is beautiful inside.
Well there are tons of great places in that price range in Hell's Kitchen, which is not TOO far -- over on 9th ave. But for RIGHT there...Right around Bryant Park there's Szechuan Gourmet, which is excellent, 39th btw 5th and 6th.
Minar is great cheap Indian: 46th between 6th and 7th I think. Closes pretty early, no atmosphere, just great cheap food.
Walk over to 9th and go to Market Cafe (btw 37 and 38th st) or Pam Real Thai (49th btw 9th and 10th). You could also walk down to Curry Hill (the area on Lex btw 28 and 29) and go to any of the great Indian places there. My current favorite is Tiffin Wallah, on 28th between Park and Lex -- close to Lex. It's BYOB, so you can go there and drink good wine for cheap with your meal.
re: foodforbrains
Second Curry Hill. Tiffin Wallah is good, so is Saravana Bhavan Dosa Hut, also on Lexington. I do that walk all the time; it's not as far as it sounds when you're new in town (at the risk of being presumptuous). Walking up and down Lexington between the 20s and 30s is a great time, there are also a bunch of fabric and spice stores to pop into. While you are there, stop in Kalustyan's for a good, long browse: http://www.kalustyans.com/
Lazzara's Pizza -- 38th between 7th and 8th, I think, 2nd floor. Nothing to look at, but good square pies and reportedly excellent chicken parm heroes. Caters more to a lunch crowd so you might want to check their hours.
Otherwise heed everyone's advice and head over to Hell's Kitchen -- not much in that neighborhood in terms of cheaper sit-down meals.
re: claireness
apologies sauga 79...i originally read the title of your post as LUNCH. duh.
re: sauga79
Olympic Pita actually manages a pretty elegant interior atmosphere if you're willing to do middle-eastern/Israeli meats and salads, and the price range is right up your alley (though I find their takeout prices to be so far superior that I can rarely justify sitting down for a meal that translates into solid streetfood without too much trouble). It is literally just South of Bryant Park.
Tiffin Wallah and the rest of Curry Hill are admittedly within range and extremely reasonable (though you should stick to the Saravannah's on the East side of 26th & Lex rather than Saravannah Bhavan, if you want genuine southern Indian flavors ).
I really enjoyed Scarlatto on W 47th. Pastas start at $9. Most entrees under $20. A variety of desserts (including molten chocolate) at $7. Nice atmosphere. See dinner menu at http://www.scarlattonyc.com/media/sca.... They have a lunch prix fixe at $14.95.

Living a life that matters… WhatWillMatter
Thank you to Judy Casanola at Classic Coatings Systems in Corona, California for sharing this with me, so I could share it with you.
Achieve your personal goals faster and with less effort
Living a life that matters… WhatWillMatter
Thank you to Judy Casanola at Classic Coatings Systems in Corona, California for sharing this with me, so I could share it with you.
I know my recent blog posts have been lighthearted, because life is a balance between the serious achievement orientation that discipline requires and the creative, fun and adhoc contribution that humour provides. Taking life too seriously serves no purpose – it's to be lived and enjoyed.
Success is in the journey – NOT the destination.
It's easy to forget that…
If you could write to your younger self, using only two words, what would they be?
Respond by placing a comment below.
Every once in a while you witness something special – at this year's Oscars, Matthew McConaughey wowed me with his acceptance speech for Best Actor. It is well worth the 3 minute investment.
I think his sources of inspiration are powerful and priceless:
There are many life-defining moments, statements, incantations, words of wisdom and mantras.
#3 for me is priceless and timeless – embracing the concepts of gratitude and excellence from within.
That is an acceptance speech worthy of its own Oscar!
Every once in a while – take a moment to notice and revel in the beauty and majesty of the world, the earth, those around you…
Take a moment, breathe…
"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."
This is one of those quotes that for me, recently, has been life changing – literally.
I have known and understood that YOUR perception is YOUR reality for a long time, but what and how that perception is warped and distorted has just recently come to light with the full appreciation of its influence. Several recent books have assessed and analysed this with fMRI and other analysis techniques to reveal the neurological evidence of how profound this new distinction is.
Not only is it based on how you are feeling right now, but it's also been shown scientifically to be based on your personality predispositions which we have known for decades affects behaviour. What was not known is that perception is also distorted…
So that brings up the all-important question: Is it the distorted perception that creates the behaviour or is it the other way around?
Instinctively, I am in the perceiver camp – your perception affects your behaviour since I believe that you need to have a view of the world BEFORE you take action. That distorted, warped, modified, filtered perception is YOURS and ONLY yours.
Therein lies the challenge we all have – to reconcile our behaviour (our actions) within different and sometimes opposing (perceived) realities.
That being said, dealing with introspective insights like this is part of the journey we are all on. How you use and leverage them is what makes our Platinum Program unique and special. Imagine having access to this level of insight, self-reflection and awareness to truly craft the life(style) you want for yourself and your family…
It's easier said than done, but with access to cutting edge research that is transforming how we see the world and ourselves, you will enter a journey of self-discovery that I promise will not only be enlightening, but equally rewarding – financially, emotionally, spiritually, professionally, socially and personally.
A holistic approach to life is no longer a "new age" approach. It is the only way to approach success and achievement.
I don't know if you "do" New Year's Resolutions, but I do… It's one of a handful of strategies that changed my life – literally.
It's a quick and easy thing to do, the challenge is to stick with it beyond February 1st!
Most people can't even list 5 of their top 10 New Year's Resolutions by the time Valentine's Day comes around… Which reflects the poor results they get, however those that DO remember them achieve much more.
How much more?
A LOT more. I have developed a New Year's Resolutions 'system' that I call My Best Year Ever. Click on the hyperlink and have a look. It's not to late to make 2014 YOUR best year ever.
Did you make New Year's Resolutions last year?
How'd you go with them?
Can you even remember what they were?
Do you feel like time has gotten away from you, sometimes spinning out of control?
If you're like most people, you do it as an annual ritual (if you think about it in time) and then once they are 'done', you quickly forget about them.
I've devised a simple and easy program to make sure you not only create your list of New Year's Resolutions, but stick with them and achieve more of them.
Click on one of the hyperlinks and decide that 2014 will be your best year ever!

A pair of executive sessions ŌĆö one concerning county-owned property and one dealing with a personnel issue for the Howard County Sheriff's Office ŌĆö await county commissioners Monday afternoon, as the court prepares to hold a special meeting.
The first executive session deals with real estate (county-owned property) pursuant to Texas Government Coade 551.072 and commissioners may take action on the matter once they return to open court.
According to County Judge Mark Barr, the property in question ŌĆö a half-block located on the city's north side, near the County Road and Bridge Office ŌĆö has drawn some inquiries from real estate officials.
ŌĆ£This isn't the first time we've looked at this particular parcel of land,ŌĆØ Barr said. ŌĆ£We had inquiries about it a while back and the commissioners court decided not to sell it. The offer at that time was $90,000. I'm not sure what kind of offer we'll be looking at Monday.ŌĆØ
Barr said the offered sum of money was the primary reason the court shot down the first potential buyer.
ŌĆ£The price was the main reason,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I'm not sure how much these people are going to offer for it, but we'll just have to see what happens.ŌĆØ
The second executive session ŌĆö set aside regarding a personnel matter ŌĆö will take place with Sheriff Stan Parker standing by, pursuant to Texas Government Code 551.071. Commissioners may also take action on this agenda item once they return to open court, although they are not required to do so.
ŌĆ£We have a deputy who is having some medical problems,ŌĆØ Barr said. ŌĆ£It's likely he's going to run out of sick time soon, so Sheriff Parker has asked us to take a look at his situation and decide what to do. This poor guy has been through a lot.ŌĆØ
The meeting is to get under way at 1 p.m. Monday in the old commissioner's courtroom, located on the second floor of the county courthouse.
ŌĆ£We decided to hold it in the second floor courtroom because of the problems we've been having with the sound system and the audience's ability to hear,ŌĆØ Barr said. ŌĆ£Also, we're really not expecting it to take very long.ŌĆØ
For more information on the meeting, contact the County Judge's Office at 432-264-2202.

text: I found it somewhat irresponsible of the Globe Magazine to run Nick Olender's piece without printing a companion essay about why one should wear a helmet (Perspective, October 21). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety states that in 2008 and 2009, 91 percent of those who died in cycling accidents weren't wearing helmets. I urge Olender and all riders to wear a helmet. Olender states he "often meets friends after work, when a helmet would be an unwelcome tagalong." Would crutches or a wheelchair be a better "tagalong"?

Prayed for a Girl ... Got a Boy. Twice.
Tracy McArdle: So proclaimed by 2-year-old son, proudly tweaking his nipples mid-bath one night. His eleven-month-old brother smiled approvingly from the shallow end. I always thought I wanted a daughter, but now that I am the mother of two boys, I wouldn't have it any other way.
When I first became pregnant, I envisioned myself and my daughter riding on the local horse trails together, even going to competitions. Horses have always been a part of my life, and I'd always hoped my kids would ride. The idea of attending football games or worse, hockey practice at 4 AM, didn't appeal. And there are just not many male horse enthusiasts, for whatever reasons. So I prayed for a girl. And I prayed she wouldn't want to be a cheerleader.
Gradually during my pregnancy, I became convinced I was carrying a boy -- and after Ryder was born, I had to make that uncomfortable decision about circumcision, my first taste of gender helplessness. I had to imagine the potential consequences of something I had no idea about -- well, not directly, anyway. Would my son resent my decision ten, twenty years from now?
When I became pregnant a second time, I thought, I'm throwing up -- it must be a girl. I am gargantuan -- it must be a girl. I really feel and look like shit -- according to everyone, it's gotta be a girl! The ultrasound proved me wrong, and I'm ashamed now to admit the disappointment I felt. "Couldn't that be an ... arm?" I protested weakly when the technician pointed out the telltale appendage on the monitor.
"If that's a girl, you come back here and show me!" she laughed.
But then Henry was born and he was so different from my first son -- fussy, spirited, curious, and engaging, particular, physical, and goofy. And watching them together when Henry came home and his big brother adapted to his presence, calling him "Baby Henry" and pointing to my breasts, declaring, "Those are Baby Henry's" -- that's just something I still can't put into words.
I have older friends with daughters approaching the danger years -- ages 13-40. I was lucky that the local barn kept me out of a lot of backseats when I was growing up. I don't envy their present and future spats about curfews, clothes, jewelry, cell phones, money, boys -- you name it. I'm not saying mothers don't argue with their sons -- I just feel grateful not to have to have the conversation about looking like a cheap slut when my daughter thinks she looks good. I know because I tortured my own mother with feather earrings and feathered hair, tight pants, and low-cut tops.
I also admit it's kind of cool being the only chick in my house. I feel special. I know that with boys, I will probably go to the emergency room more. I will probably yell more. I will be heartbroken when some cheap-looking slut steals my son from me. Relax, I'm kidding.
But I guess the moral is, your child's birth is the moment when you let go of expectations, and learn to embrace what you've been given. Because it's almost always richer and more incredible than you could have possibly imagined.

I have 2 boys with number 3 on the way due to medical issue I will not be trying for that girl. I feel your disappoint but hey god has a good plan for you and I. I just wish he'd tell me what it is. Three dare devil, couch jumping boy OMG MOMMIE HELP.
Great piece!
I am a mom of 3 boys (ages 2, 4 and 6).
They are so funny and sweet together (on most days anyway and inbetween the wrestling matches and sibling rivalry).
I have to agree with you, I wouldn't have it any other way and at this point it's hard for me to imagine having a daughter.
I have two boys - 3 and 1. We are thinking about a third child and I know it will be a boy - which is fine. I am the super train track builder in the house! My husband is convinced we will have a girl. I might have to help him through this!! I think he wants a Daddy's Girl!
We had two boys and then 5 yrs trying for No. 3. It was a shock that the third is a girl. Somehow she is the best at sports. She really likes shoes though. The boys still could wear one pair all year. We did not have to decide about circumcision. It removes the main pleasure zones of the male. Once I heard that, there was no decision to make.
I have a son and also felt the "disappointment" when we found out the sex but I also wouldn't have it any other way! I do hope for a girl in the future though :)
Growing up, I always wanted girls. Getting pregnant, Daddy wanted his little girl, but we got a boy. I didn't care either way and now I happily have my mommy's boy! :D
When we were pregnant with our baby (boy) we didn't know what we were having until our final ultrasound. The 1st 3 he always had his back/butt facing us. We only got a squished up looking 3d picture of his face that final one as well. I actually cried when we found out because I so desperately wanted a girl. Now that my lil baby boy is almost a year I couldn't imagine life without him. I still want a girl next time around but will be happy with another boy. We've already got a boys name picked out, leading us to believe we'll have another boy.
Good day, Wonderful site, exactly where did you arrive up from the facts in this summation? Im glad I observed it though, I am going to be checking back soon to determine what other content articles you have.
An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing somewhat analysis on this. And he the truth is bought me breakfast as a result of I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the deal with! However yeah Thnkx for spending the time to debate this, I really feel strongly about it and love studying more on this topic. If doable, as you develop into experience, would you mind updating your weblog with more particulars? It is highly useful for me. Big thumb up for this weblog submit!

ASML is the world's leading provider of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. Headquartered in Veldhoven, the Netherlands, ASML employs more than 7,000 people.
What is EUV?
EUV stands for "extreme ultraviolet" and refers to the light source that is used in the lithography machine. The previous generation of lithography machines used light in the "deep ultraviolet" spectrum. Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. With a wavelength of only 13.5 nanometers, EUV sits in the spectrum between visible light and X-ray.
Why do we need EUV?
For the past decades, the semiconductor industry has been driven by what is called "Moore's Law". It goes back to Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, who observed in the 1960s that the amount of transistors that could be fit on a chip of a given size at an acceptable cost doubled roughly every year. (He later revised the period to two years.)
The entire semiconductor industry operates to this model, which requires chip makers to pack transistors more tightly with every new generation of chips, shrinking the size of transistors. Smaller transistors mean that semiconductor lithography machines must be able to print finer features with every new generation of chips as well.
Since lithography is an optical technology, one of the things that limits the resolution of the equipment is the wavelength of the light that is used. Shortening the wavelength of the light means higher resolution and smaller features. Lithography machines have gone from using ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 365 nanometers to "deep ultraviolet" light of 248 nanometers and 193 nanometers, improving the resolution at every step. EUV is the next step, with light of a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers. (An analogy is painting: we use a smaller brush to paint the finer details)
What makes EUV so challenging?
The technological challenges that had to be overcome to make EUV a reality were enormous. ASML has spent as much R&D money on EUV as on the previous two generations (ArF dry and ArF immersion) combined.
To begin with, EUV photons are difficult to produce. ASML's EUV systems use a "laser-produced plasma" (LPP) source: a high-energy laser fires on a microscopic droplet of molten tin and turns it into plasma, emitting EUV light, which then is focused into a beam.
The glass of a lens would immediately absorb the EUV photons, so the machine has to use mirrors instead. The mirrors must be extremely flat. If one of the mirrors were to be blown up to the size of Germany, the biggest bump would be less than 1 millimeter high. The mirrors are coated with hundreds of layers, which are as thin as 3 nanometers — about a dozen atoms. In fact, even air absorbs EUV light, so the exposure of the wafer must happen in a large vacuum chamber.
What are the benefits for chip makers?
The current lithography technology has been pushed further than many would have thought possible even five years ago, but this has come at the cost of increasing complexity and shrinking margins of error. The industry has had to reach deep into a bag of tricks to continue shrinking feature sizes. Double Patterning in particular is costly because it increases the amount of lithography exposures per wafer, and thus either reduces fab output or requires more equipment. With EUV, chip makers will return to the former situation in which they expose a critical layer in just one single step. EUV also has a credible path to a resolution of less than 10 nanometers.
What resolution has been achieved with EUV?
Single exposure resolutions of 13 nm lines and spaces and 17 nm contact holes have been achieved. Using a spacer-assisted double patterning process a half-pitch resolution of 9nm was demonstrated.
How many EUV systems has ASML sold?
Apart from the two prototype machines (see above), ASML had orders for six NXE:3100 systems, all of which have been shipped. ASML has received 11 orders for the following model, NXE:3300B. The first of those systems were shipped at the end of 2013, with shipments continuing in 2014.

Westbound I-10 was shut down on Sunday morning as crews investigated a fatal rollover accident.
Witnesses say a car was speeding and swerving before rear-ending a pickup truck. The truck rolled over into the median and a 28-year-old woman was ejected. Police say she died at the scene. The driver of the truck was taken to a hospital with moderate injuries, but is expected to survive. According to officers, the car's driver is a 27-year-old man from northern Arizona. Detectives believe impairment played a part in the crash. No name have been released.
Entrance ramps to westbound I-10 at 59th Avenue and 67th Avenue were both shut down for hours.

A Profile of Young People in Debt
Published on - November 21st, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
Each generation believes it faces greater challenges than those that came before. In a way, each generation is correct. The challenges keep changing, forcing young people to cope with problems there parents didn't face. Our grandparents may have struggled with poverty during the Great Depression, but many modern young adults face a slightly different crisis: a crisis of debt.
Mindy Fetterman and Barbara Hansen of USA Today have written a piece exploring the debt problems facing young adults. This article is the first in a six-part series exploring these issues. Despite some alarmist reporting, there's interesting stuff here. For example, the authors report that:
- Nearly two-thirds of twentysomethings carry debt. Those who do have debt have taken on more in the past five years.
- Nearly half of twentysomethings have stopped paying on a debt. (This stat shocks me — when did this become acceptable?)
- Sixty percent of twentysomethings believe they face tougher financial pressures than previous generations.
The article discusses the misperceptions that older generations have regarding young people's debts. The authors believe that while some young adults do get into debt through poor choices, a majority of the problem comes from larger economic effects such as:
- Soaring tuition
- Reduced student grants
- Increased student-loan debt
- Flat wages, especially for young men
- Rising home prices
As a result, more young people are relying on their families for support, both for housing and for money. Young people are also saving less than before, which alarms me. The article quotes several people who essentially complain, "I cannot afford to save." I used to believe this, too, but I was wrong. I'm still paying the price for being wrong. Most people can afford to save something, even if it's just $50 a month. Remember: compound returns favor the young.
The article provides a link to a very rudimentary budgeting spreadsheet. (I'd like to think you can find better options in this list of handy personal finance spreadsheets I shared in May.) It also points to some useful resources:
- The Financial Planning Association
- Quarterlife Crisis (Has anyone read this book? Would you care to review it for GRS?)
- The National Endowment for Financial Education
- Smart About Money
- Project on Student Debt
Despite occasional bits of sensationalism, this is a good article, and I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
Addendum: Jeremy notes that he just posted his perspective on the article at Generation X Finance.
[USA Today: Young people struggle with the kiss of debt]
iTunes money pit…
Found this post about a guy who ran up an tab from 8,000 downloads on iTunes (via Get Rich Slowly )….
To be fair, "rising home prices" only has a dramatic affect on those who insist on buying into today's insane housing market. Rents have been increasing much, much slower.
By not buying a home after getting married at the age of 22, my wife and I have been able to:
- pay off $40,000+ in (mostly college) debt
- contribute steadily to a 401(k)
- save some cash
- invest some money in other accounts
- buy two vehicles (with cash)
- pay for a year of education for my wife at the Art Institute (with cash)
…all on a slightly above-median income.
Had we purchased a home, we would have been rolling in "equity," but at the expense of having tens of thousands of dollars debt hanging over our heads, and not being able to buy nearly as many nice things as we have been able to.
However, as you say, it's easier to complain than to make the hard choices and do what's best with your money.
BTW, we did all the above in about four years.
I just noticed this post after I did a writeup on the same USA Today piece. I focused more on the second half of the article when it discusses the disparity between the younger generations and their parents though.
Looks like it will be an interesting series, I look forward to what the next segment has to say.
Imagine what you'd been able to save by not buying 'as many nice things'.
I would gladly sacrifice being able to buy as many nice things as the Jones's to get a head start on home buying. Though, in our case it's different because we live in one of the few areas in the country where home prices are still increasing (Richmond, VA). It just shows that each situation is individual, however, those individual situations paint a story that is important- as demonstrated by the USA Today article.
I'm not sure why you seemed to latch on to that particular minor point in my comment, but I feel obligated to clarify. The "nice things" don't really approach the kinds of "stuff" that many of my coworkers have accumulated. I'm talking about a few video games here and there, some DVDs, one sub-$1,000 PC… that sort of thing. Heck, even the newest car we've purchased has been five years old.
If we had been dead-set on getting a house four years ago, we could have. However, we would have had unacceptable (to me) levels of debt in addition to the mortgage, and been in a much worse-off financial situation today.
Each situation is indeed individual, of course. I was just pointing out that whether the bullet point of "Rising home prices" affects you or not is a personal choice, not an inescapable reality.
Is it so hard to give out less than what you have?
The young people buy some much useless stuff, I'm not surprised they've got some much debt.
Seems like they have to learn it the hard way …
Perhaps now they'll cut back on mobiles phones, ringtones, videogames, etc.
I guess what I rail against is the idea amongst some of my peers that having anything less than their standard of living is unacceptable. Sorry that I jumped on your nice things comment.
What I've found is that our standard of living takes an immediate dive post-college. How you deal with that goes a way toward determining your financial future. You can either spend your way out of it by continuing to live the way you have with the same habits that now cost so much more– going out to eat all the time, drinking every weekend, going to bars, concerts, etc. Or, you can embrace it and sacrifice the 'nice things' for a few years and end up way ahead. Too many of my cohorts don't change their lifestyle and end up regretting it when they're 30.
But the thing about buying a house is, even though you are taking on $200K in debt, you still have an asset that is worth about $200K. Maybe it will go down in value a bit or maybe it will go up, but its still an asset, and unless something is drastically wrong it will probably stay more or less around what you paid for it or go up in value. Even if it goes down in value, you can still live in it, and historically real estate always tends to go up.
You don't get that with an apartment.
Another thing is you will only have to pay your mortgage for 30 years (heh, only ) or less (if you're smart). Rent is forever. The key is that *when you retire* is when that 30 year investment really begins to pay off. After buying a house, that fixed monthly expense of your mortgage basically becomes (in theory) tax and insurance. Retire after renting for 30 years and you just have to pay more rent.
Not to mention the opportunity to trade down and capitalize a small bundle in cash.
And then there's the tax deductions, potential to rent rooms out, ability to stay in one place for 30 years if you want.
To me, the benefits of buying a house outweigh the risk of carrying more debt and the risk of depreciation. Even if the market is a bit insane right now as someone said.
Granted, I think buying a house fresh out of college at 22 is just looney, unless you don't have debt at that point, and really do have the money to be smart about it.
I can understand how a college student can get into deep debt. I am in college right now and I see it everyday.. My peers have all of their credit cards maxed. We all put our bets on the future hoping that our nice salary when we get out of college will cover these expenses. It's just plain difficult to work during college if you want to keep your social life. Not to mention that the college life does not coincide with the work life. I know one of my peers whos main income source is… get ready for it– playing poker. At any given time he is either up a bunch or deep in debt. It's just difficult to do school work, have a social life, and make $6.75 an hour flipping burgers. It makes credit cards seem like the only easy way out.
I was one of those college students with too many credit cards for my pitiful income. I knew things were bad when I was buying groceries at the Texaco, because only my gas card still had room on it for new charges. I knew things were good when I could open a new card account and use it to pay off other cards with room to spare!
That was years ago now, and I've learned a few things. But some of what I've learned is that the credit card companies play some games with us that need to stop. Now I'm at Consumers Union, publisher of Consumer Reports (where some really smart financial wizards work) and we're getting the word out–using a funny song about credit card debt by the Austin Lounge Lizards– about something we can do to stop card company tricks that can trap people into higher interest or greater debt than they can afford.
[...] I read John Chow's post on his blog which lead me to write this post. I have been with the AdSense program for over 2 years and I'm loving it along with all the other products offered by Google. With all of my stupid past financial mistakes it was hard for me to pay my minimum payments; however, because of Google I slowly paid off alot of my debts. I know I'm not the only one with debt mistakes, look here. AdSense also allowed me to travel; the AdSense revenue payed for alot of my traveling expenses. [...]
No problem. We're all on the same "team" here, rooting for responsible personal finances. I totally agree with your sentiments, I've seen the same things.
J.D. & icup,
I should make it clear that I'm in no way against buying a house, and I hope to be able to buy one myself some day. Under most normal circumstances, buying a home is definitely a smart financial move. I just don't think that we're living in a normal time (in many parts of the country that is–mine included).
I graduated in 2003 and calculated my debt soon after. I owed a little over $50,000.
I have done much better since then in reducing that debt, but of course it is not an easy task.
I think the problems with the debt of youth today are: the lack of financial education, increasing student loans and education costs, and the effect of consumerism. Most young people just don't understand money. They understand that when they have it they can buy things… and there are so many things to buy that are waved in front of their faces on a constant basis, that the little money (or credit) young people do have is put in the wrong places.
I am very happy to have to found this post today as I recently have been writing about this same topic as I am trying to chronicle my way out of debt as a result of these mentioned problems.
Shameless plug, but I am also hoping that I can educate people in mistakes I have made in the past and how to learn from this: http://www.gettingdebtdone.com/
[...] JD @ Get Rich Slowly profiles young people in debt. [...]
I've only started reading your blog a bit here and there. Lots of great advice/thoughts in this.
Right now I'm reading "The Wal-Mart Effect" by Charles Fishman. I'm not sure how I feel about the book yet (I'm a little disturbed by the lack of footnotes) but one of the interesting parts of it, which has been repeated lots of places, is how much Wal-Mart puts the squeeze on their suppliers. In fact, one could argue that it is the practices of this giant retailer which has pushed some suppliers to take their manufacturing overseas. They must cut costs.
My parents and my in-laws are terrific consumers: wasteful and always looking for the bottom line dollar. It got me thinking today, how much is the next generation getting squeezed by the generation before? Is there any way to not go into debt? If millions of jobs go overseas and we are in some price war race to the bottom, is it suprising that there is a lack of opportunity across the board? Anyway, food for thought today.
I've been investigating the credit card industry and have found that the entire money creation process is fraudulent. Quite a wake up!
I graduated a little over a year ago (I'm 23 now) and I was determined not to fall into the same debt trap as most of my friends. I earn a very high income for my age group and I make the most of that by maintaining at least a 40% savings and investment rate. My goal is to get this up to eventually get this up to 60%. I think I enjoy a high standard of living, as in I am happy with the things that I own, but that is because I never buy anything on impulse. I consider purchases,both big and small, at least five times before I take the plunge and when I do I derive a very high sense of satisfaction from everything I own.
Those people who are in debt have only themselves to blame. They just spend and spend; they're upsessed with spending more. In China, where the median wages are 40 times less!, they still manage to save 25%. If people in the US would learn to live more frugally they could save more then 80% of their income. I've done this. I live in an extremely expensive part of the US with a median salary (for the area I'm in) and I can still save more then 80% of my after tax income.
cdude you clearly don't need to use fuel to get to work! I think fuel by it self cost me 20% of my net income.
[...] I slowly paid off alot of my debts. I know I'm not the only one with debt mistakes, look here. AdSense also allowed me to travel; the AdSense revenue payed for alot of my traveling [...]
If The Millenials are in such tremendous debt, then they learned the more destructive behavior from their Baby Boomer parents. Perhaps the Baby Boomers were more frugal, but I know a Baby Boomer who is a parent of a Millenial and Generation Xer and she bails them both out of their debts all the time. Also this mother goes on spending sprees for herself and others at discount stores or any store having a clearance sale. Financial irresponsibility is learned behavior. Also I agree that there should be classes taught in high school, maybe earlier, teaching the importance of saving, budgeting, investing, FICO scores, debt management, interest rates and the like. In terms of anyone who believes that not paying debt is unacceptable, there are young people living off of Ramen Noodles, driving with five dollars worth of gasoline in their used cars and paying $650 a month in day care expenses for a pre-schooler. Not to mention having to contend with shut off notices from utility companies and harassing calls from collection agencies. I know several people who are college grads and they work at eat-in restaurants and retail stores making $8-$10 an hour. A few have entry-level positions making less than $30,000 a year. Two of thm are $120,00 in debt. Another is $250,000 in debt. I read a newspaper article about a grad who hung herself with her credit card statements spread out on her bed. These grads don't make a living wage and they jobs aren't there for them like they were for previous generations.
Also I do know someone who is working while in college, but she's required by the university to do an internship and they won't count her job as an internship. She's getting chest pains and tension headaches from working full-time, doing an internship and taking three grad school level classes, all because of the college's weird policy about your job can't be your internship even if it's in the field your studying. There are no one-size fits all answers. But I know one thing, 80% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck while 2% of the country keeps all the wealth, regadless of age. What does that say about our country? The problem doesn't all lay with young people, public policy needs to change too.
Kind of scary. An entire generation that leverages themselves more than the prior generations — what does our future hold?
i am 21 years old and currently attending college. i was reading this article gathering information for a paper i'm writing on debt among young people and how it is a bit ridiculous the amount of debt that my generation has accumulated. i know many many students and friends that are not even halfway done with college but are up to their ears in debt. i don't think they realize how much their decisions now are going to affect them in the future. many of them feel they need things that they could, in my opinion, do without. others don't want to work so they borrow money or rack up revolving debt to live and pay bill. i work part-time during school and full-time constuction during the summer and i may not have the nicest things and the most glamourous life but my goal is to not have any unnecessary debt when i get out of college. i feel like the problem, as someone mentioned earlier, is lack of education but also a lack of responsibility and maybe being too sheltered or taken care of by parents. unfortunately my friends will get to learn the hard way what living off nickels and dimes is all about.
Hey JD;
I'd be willing to review Quarterlife Crisis. Let me know what I should do (format of review, etc.)Thanks

Miami (Fla.) will face off with No. 18 Louisville in the Russell Athletic Bowl tonight in Orlando. The matchup will be a preview for Louisville's entrance to the ACC next season, featuring Teddy Bridgwater: an initial Hurricane commit and native of Miami (FL). This could be his last collegiate game ever, while most are speculating he'll enter the upcoming 2014 NFL Draft.
This bowl game also has significance for Al Golden and his Hurricanes. It'll be the first opportunity for the team to participate in postseason play after the self imposed bowl bans, in result of the highly covered Nevin Shapiro scandal. This showdown with the Cardinals also gives Miami a chance to reach its first 10-win season since 2003 and the opportunity to win its first bowl game since 2006, when it won the MPC Computers Bowl.
Here are my three keys to the game for Miami:
1. Put pressure on Bridgewater early and often
The Hurricanes must get pressure on Teddy Bridgewater. More importantly, they need to be able to get to him with a four man rush. Anthony Chickillo and Shayon Green have to make an impact on the edge for the Canes. Coach Golden stressed several times that they have to make Bridgewater uncomfortable for them to come out with a win.
"He'll pick you apart if you just stay in one coverage or if you don't put any pressure on him," Al Golden said during Friday's press conference.
If Miami's front seven plays well, it gives the secondary a chance to slow down Louisville's dangerous receiving core.
2. Let Dallas Crawford and the offensive line get into a rhythm
Louisville's defensive line is hyped to be the best unit of the defense, respectably so. However, this defense hasn't faced an offensive line as strong as Miami's.
"In our four years that we've been here, it's the best offense our defense will match up with, the best offense that we've seen since I've been here in our four years," Charlie Strong stated Friday.
If Miami stays committed to running the ball, it'll open up big play opportunities for Stephen Morris.
3. Get Stacy Coley the ball
Stacy Coley has been Miami's big playmaker since Duke Johnson was injured in the Florida State game, and he will be relied upon even more with fellow wide out Herb Waters out for the bowl. Also, senior leading wide receiver Allen Hurns is questionable for the game, showing up to Friday's Russell Athletic Bowl Kickoff Luncheon in a boot. Coley's speed should present problems for the Card's secondary; it's up to Miami to exploit it.

Toyota Avalon Door Sills
- Sherwood® - Front Stainless Door SillsStarting at: $72.73$72.73
Posted by Dale H.
"These are very nice. Glad I paid the extra money and didn't order the cheap plastic kind. My installation in a '96 convertible was a little different that shown. First, the space between the door and where you are supposed to drill the hole is too small for me to actually drill the hole. As a result, mine were attached using only the two existing holes, and there were no screws in the door that had to be replaced. It was a very easy two screw installation that (so far) appears very secure. Great product! "
Posted by Rebecca B.
"My 1988 Corvette needed these door sills to finish out my restoration. Thanks to CARiD, they made it happen with quality customer service. I am a customer for life."
Posted by David C.
"This is a great product and looks good. Would recommend."
Posted by Sal C.
"The door sills fit well, but have small bubble in the lettering that wasn't visible till after installation and protective plastic was removed."
Posted by Michael B.
"These sill covers provide a bit of class when entering your vehicle. My only complaint is the front sills needed a little shaping prior to installation. Before removing the covering of the adhesive tape, dry fit the sills to conform to your vehicle."

Taking a break from the rock and roll stage, he's been touring the country in support of his new album "The Road". During his stop at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, he swung by NRA Headquarters.
A little time on the range, a little tour through the museum and a little concert inside the Petersen Gallery.
Above is part of that concert with his new song "Granddaddy's Gun" ... the new album (The Road) comes out in November. And before you ask yes, there were some problems with the video. The quality was such that added a little texture and stills to the whole thing.
Hope it comes across as intended.

E-Cigarettes Pose Long-Term Addiction Threat to Teens, and Short-Term Risk of Poisoning
Electronic cigarettes are increasingly popular as substitutes for tobacco cigarettes, but as we wrote last year, it's not clear if they are an acceptable alternative to the more traditional nicotine delivery systems. It's also not clear if they might help smokers quit tobacco. And if smoking e-cigarettes has risks, it's not clear exactly what they are, and how harmful.
But according to a recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics, e-cigarettes might very well serve as gateway devices for adolescents to begin cultivating a nicotine addiction. And that's not good.
E-cigarettes are battery powered devices that look like fat pens. They have a reservoir for liquid nicotine that, when heated, becomes vapor that users inhale, just like a tobacco cigarette. They're available in multiple colors and often are flavored with a wide range of options, including bubble gum and peanut butter.
As explained on AboutLawsuits.com, the JAMA study was conducted by researchers from the University of California, San Francisco Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education. They surveyed more than 40,000 middle and high school students across the United States.
Another new report on the "e-liquids" that supply the nicotine in e-cigarettes has disturbing information for any concerned parent. As the New York Times reported last week:
These "e-liquids," the key ingredients in e-cigarettes, are powerful neurotoxins. Tiny amounts, whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, can cause vomiting and seizures and even be lethal. A teaspoon of even highly diluted e-liquid can kill a small child.
But, like e-cigarettes, e-liquids are not regulated by federal authorities. They are mixed on factory floors and in the back rooms of shops, and sold legally in stores and online in small bottles that are kept casually around the house for regular refilling of e-cigarettes.
Evidence of the potential dangers is already emerging. Toxicologists warn that e-liquids pose a significant risk to public health, particularly to children, who may be drawn to their bright colors and fragrant flavorings like cherry, chocolate and bubble gum.
And get this quote from a toxicologist in the Times article:
"It's not a matter of if a child will be seriously poisoned or killed," said Lee Cantrell, director of the San Diego division of the California Poison Control System and a professor of pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco. "It's a matter of when."
In the JAMA Pediatrics study, use of e-cigarettes among kids doubled from 2011 to 2012, from about 3 in 100 to 6.5 in 100. The teens who used e-cigarettes were less likely to abstain from smoking tobacco cigarettes a month, six months and a year later.
About 1 in 5 middle schoolers and 7 in 100 high schoolers who used e-cigarettes had never smoked regular cigarettes. So some teens are introduced to nicotine addiction through e-cigarettes, the researchers concluded, and are on the road to long-term addiction.
The teens who smoked tobacco and who also used e-cigarettes were more likely to intend to quit smoking within the next year, but they actually were less likely to do so. Experimental cigarette smokers also were less likely to abstain from smoking tobacco if they tried e-cigarettes.
As we noted in our blog, manufacturers of e-cigarettes market them specifically to the teenage demographic — it's a rich new market!
As AboutLawsuits notes, e-cigarettes are not regulated by the FDA, and more than 40 state attorneys general have appealed to the agency to do so. More than 20 states ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, and many ban them in certain areas, as they do tobacco cigarettes.
A report released last autumn by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that regular use of e-cigarettes among middle and high school students has more than doubled over the past few years.
A study last year in Nicotine & Tobacco Research concluded that e-cigarettes might expose nonusers involuntarily to nicotine but not to toxic tobacco-specific combustion products. It also said that more research is needed to evaluate the health consequences of secondhand exposure to nicotine, especially among children, pregnant women and people with cardiovascular conditions.
And although it lacks regulatory muscle, the FDA did issue a health warning about the devices nearly five years ago, warning consumers of potentially toxic chemicals in the solution.
So no matter how you slice it, adults should be cautious about taking up electronic cigarettes, and they should be "never" events for kids.

Blue AB Rhinestone Hinged Bangle
This remarkable vintage jewel will really draw attention to beautiful hands. The hinged bangle, also known as a clamper bracelet, is studded with blue aurora borealis rhinestone chatons that flash lavender and green depending on the light. The rhinestones are coronet set in a silvertone openwork finding, and the coronet settings give the piece a lacy look that really adds to the sparkle. The widest portion of the bangle measures 1 1/2", and inside of the bangle measures approximately 2 1/2" x 2", fitting a medium sized wrist perfectly. I see little to no wear to the silver finish, inside or out, and all the rhinestones are bright and fiery as a sun-dappled crystal clear pool. Excellent condition. $55
Amber Guild Gold Filled Bracelet
Amber and gold are enduringly lovely together, especially in this sweet link bracelet signed Amber Guild 12K GF. Glowing genuine amber 10mm beads alternate with gold filled wire twists for a playful space age look. It clasps at 7 1/2" for a medium to large wrist. This great jewel is in Excellent condition, and is hers today for $42.
Mod 1960s Flower Power Plastic Daisy Cuff Bracelet
Yes--rare, because you wont be able to find another like it anywhere online. That's because these pure flower power mod plastic jewels of the 1960s were not made to last for longer than the summer of love, or perhaps a season or two. The pretty light soft yellow plastic cuff is a bit more than 2" at the widest. The diameter is about 2 1/2" x 2", for a small wrist. The big bright daisies appear to be screwed on, the screws covered with gold foil. If you want a real collectible from the 1960s, this is for you. However, I would not recommend it be worn very often. This jewel is in Very Good condition. $55
DeLizza & Elster for Celebrity
Moroccan Matrix Art Glass Bracelet
One of Celebrity's better pieces, this ethnic revival link bracelet offers colorful and exotic molded glass enameled cabochons in each setting. This type of art glass was also used by Delizza & Elster in their own unsigned jewelry and is called "Moroccan Matrix." Feels cool and heavy on the wrist. This jewel is 1" wide and clasps with the large foldover at 7 1/2," roomy enough for a medium to med/large wrist. Complete with safety chain, this chic collectible is signed in back of one of the links (c)Celebrity. Excellent, unworn condition. $55
This razzle-dazzle beauty, an art deco stacked geometric design from the 1930s offers diamante rhinestones in beaded settings. The base metal is rhodium. The push in clasp is jeweled, and the bracelet sports a safety chain. The rhinestones, if you look closely, are uniformly aging, but they still strike sparks. The 5/8" wide jewel clasps at 7" for a medium wrist. Enjoy for $68.
Turquoise Thermoset Wide Vintage Bracelet
For your consideration today is this charming bracelet. The turquoise thermoset curved cabochons have purplish streaks and, along with small faux turquoise beads, pose prettily in an antiqued silvertone ornate floral setting, with floral overlays across the cabs. Width is 1 5/8". Such marvelous design yet no signature, but who cares? I was tempted to keep it for myself; but alas, clasping length is 6 3/4" for a small wrist size. Someone with slender wrists will love this! Very good condition, with tarnishing or wear on the clasp and minor glue residue on the back of the cabs. Enjoy this beauty for $55
Whiting & Davis Hand Painted Porcelain Portrait Bangle Bracelet
Circa 1960. No costume luxury was spared when Whiting and Davis made their famous hinged bangles. Here's a fantastic Victorian Revival piece, a porcelain painting imported from Limoges France, the famous Lady in Blue. The lady is hand painted over a transfer, giving an essential pearled look to her hair decoration and collar. How beautiful. The oval porcelain is encased in a silvertone bezel among intricate silvertone leaves, bows, and other openwork folderol which extends to the side of the bangle. This bracelet is signed Whiting & Davis Mesh Bags over the inside hinge, and you also get the Limoges signature in gold on the back of the porcelain.
The bracelet measures 1 1/2" wide at the portrait and
1/2" in back. The jewel fits a small to small-medium wrist without
pinching; it's just a bit too tight on my regular medium wrist. Inner diameter
is 2" x 2 1/4". Comes complete with safety chain. Excellent condition.
Such a Highly collectible can become an heirloom in your family. $125
Sterling Silver Floral Bracelet
For you--or her--today is this feminine vintage Hobe Sterling bracelet, with a stacked floral arrangement on 6 square links. The sterling has darkened evenly and offers a nice patina. These lovely sterling jewels by Hobe were probably made during the 1940s. This one measures 7" from hook to spring ring catch for a medium wrist. The back is signed Hobe STERLING Design Pat'd. Very Good condition. $110
Three Springtime Pastels Moonglow Bangles
Moon-white, golden peach and coral moonglow Lucite bangles will dress your wrists playfully for all those spring and summer picnics & daytime occasions! Each bangle is 1/2" wide with slightly curved outer edge. Inside diameter is a bit over 2 1/2" and will slip easily over medium to medium-large hands to fit a medium to medium-large wrists. Excellent condition. Enjoy all three beauties for $28.
Reverse Carved Glass Intaglio Oriental Bookchain Bracelet Set
For an exotic look, especially with freshly polished nails (red?) this glass intaglio bracelet is a top choice. The silvertone openwork track of book chain findings support the glass encased figural intaglio plaques of a golden oriental goddess. Oriental motifs were popular in costume jewelry from the '30s through the '50's, and this one is nicely detailed in gold tone against a jet black background. The entire set consists of the bracelet, along with 1 1/8" matching pendant on 17" silvertone chain, and a set of 1 1/2" ornately framed clip on earrings. Everything is in Excellent condition, with crystal clear intaglios and no noticeable finish wear.$78
Classic '50s Faux Pearl Wrap Bracelet
Let's go to the hop! This classic 1950's beauty offers 3 wire strands
of graduated off-white plump faux pearls. The biggest pearls are about
15mm. These are hard to find with the pearl dangles still on the ends,
but these are intact. It's easy to wear and goes with just about
everything, giving you a pure demure look with summer eyelet pastels,
or with black lace for a nice-girl-gone-naughty look. One size fits
most. My wrist is medium and it fits nicely. Width at the widest part
is 1 3/4". Excellent condition. $23

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – A mobile home park south of Wolfforth agreed to pay a fine of $4,408 assessed by the Texas Commission On environmental Quality.
Casey Homes Estates signed an agreed order late last year and this month the TCEQ Commissioners accepted it. TCEQ says Casey Homes Estates did not keep proper records, did not cap an unused water well, and did not monitor disinfection facilities for water wells which are used for public water consumption.
Casey Homes Estates agreed to fix all violations as part of the agreement.
