10 Best Nail Art Ideas from Fashion Week
From hot new polish colors to elaborate techniques, we've got nail art inspiration for every aspiring DIY nail artist
To create an ombre manicure like the one we spotted backstage at Erickson Beamon, all you need are two bottles of polish (one color, one black), a makeup sponge, and topcoat. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics created this look for Beauty.com using the colors Vintage (a deep red), Blackboard (a deep green) and Tarred (a pure black). Start by painting two coats of whichever color you choose, and sponge on the black, concentrating the polish towards the tips. Then, before it dries, apply the topcoat and use the brush to pull the colors across the nail, blending them together.

Interesting ideas; some are a tad outrageous for me, but they are charming.

Very much like the obmre! Bllack goes with everything and is very sleek, and if all black it too much you can always add some gold sparkels!

Don't care for the crystals. They might be fine for a couple hrs. but they would snag on everything. To make polka dots, I bought tools that you just dap into the polish. They were very cheap. You can also use the tip of a pencil point that is rounded. Don't use a freshly sharpened pencil. It works and is free.

State education officials say the use of public money for private schooling in Kentucky probably would require a constitutional amendment.
The U.S. Supreme Court last month upheld school vouchers in Cleveland. But an analysis by the Kentucky Department of Education says the Kentucky Constitution goes farther in restricting the use of public school money.
At least three sections of the Constitution deal with school funding. All seem to preclude its use for anything other than public schools.
The department's general counsel, Kevin Noland, says merely passing a bill appears not to be enough. But a sponsor of tax-credit legislation in past years says the Supreme Court ruling has generated widespread interest in the subject.
Republican Representative Bob Heleringer of Louisville says he thinks the issue will arise again in the 2003 General Assembly. House Majority Leader Greg Stumbo says he agrees. Stumbo says he, too, thinks people who send their children to private schools should get some type of tax break.

OK listen up: just to be clear, I do not know Jared Padalecki, nor has he ever personally done anything to me to earn my unadulterated hatred or even mild dislike. I'm sure that Jared Padalecki is a swell guy. He probably adopts kittens from animal shelters and gives them to dying orphans with twenty-dollar bills tied around their necks (the kittens, not the orphans). That said, I think the guy still deserves to be punched in the junk.
It would probably be best at this point to clarify. For those who don't know, Jared Padalecki is one of the stars of the popular television show Supernatural. My fiance is a huge fan of the show and, being a good boyfriend, for Christmas this past year, I bought her Season Six on DVD. As far as decisions go, this was slightly better than playing Russian Roulette with a machine gun. Buying Supernatural for a woman is spiritually akin to buying her pornography–but with better looking actors.
Jared Padalecki plays the role of Sam, a smart, sensitive Joe who, along with his brother, battles monsters and demons and other meanies from Hell–all while questioning the moral and ethical implications of demon slaying. Basically, the guy is a saint. And if that's not enough, he also happens to speak a number of archaic languages; is an expert with guns, knives, and hand-to-hand combat; and was accepted to law school at Stanford, but gave it all up to save the world. Strength and sensitivity, brains and badassery, the guy is portrayed as the essentially perfect male specimen. Women see this and it sets a standard that no man could possibly live up to. Dammit, it's not fair! And it gets worse!
Lest you think that I succumb to hyperbole, let's compare the average man to Jared Padalecki.
Ok, this is probably not what the average man looks like, but doesn't it make you feel so much better about yourself?
That's right. Gaze upon the rock-hard, chiseled form and despair. This guy's groin has its own six-pack!
While I have no doubt of my fiance's faithfulness, I fully acknowledge that a woman can only take so much temptation. Under the right circumstances, I could probably be convinced to sleep with the guy. I can only be thankful that my fiance has not called off the wedding in light of an illicit affair with our DVD player. That said, I would just like to say that I hate you, Jared Padalecki. Your godlike physique and breathtaking good looks are an affront to the natural evolution of mankind, and it will only lead to the extinction of our species. After being exposed to your anatomical perfection, how can a woman ever be satisfied with the rest of us? You've doomed us all. Shame on you, Jared Padalecki. Shame.

Issue Date:
June, 2011
The June issue of FIRE Policy News leads with a report on Texas Congressman Ron Paul's efforts to expose the billions of dollars in assistance that, at the height of America's financial crisis, was given to foreign banks. "We now know that the Fed's bailout had nothing to do with helping the American people," Paul said.
Also in this issue:
- New-home construction has fallen to nearly the lowest level ever recorded, according to the U.S. Commerce Department.
- A decade ago, Lee County, Florida experienced some of the nation's steepest climbs in housing prices. Since then housing prices there have plummeted. Apparently not having learned the housing bubble's lesson, the county housing authority wants to send prices up again with a program that allows buyers to purchase a newly built house for virtually no money down.
- An analysis of all 51 major United States insurance markets suggests Texas's system for approving and administering insurance rates ranks among the very worst in the nation.
- Finance expert Robert Genetski was so concerned about Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's House Committee on Banking testimony in March that he decided to decipher the chairman's remarks to reveal their real meaning.
- What used to be roundly condemned as "creeping inflation" in the 1950s is today given the scientific-sounding name "inflation-targeting" and hailed as the proper goal of monetary policy. But this view is based on a fundamental confusion: It conflates deflation and depression, which are two very different phenomena.

ANDERSON, S.C. – Former Anderson University cross country and track standout Parks Edwards has been named to the 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District ® Men's Track & Field/Cross Country Team for NCAA Division II, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Thursday afternoon.
The teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America teams programs since 2011.
Edwards earned Second-Team All-South Atlantic Conference cross country accolades both as a junior and senior and led the Trojans at the 2013 SAC Championships with a season-best time of 26:44.0. The veteran paced the squad at the conference championships, the Royals Challenge, the Winthrop Invitational and the Eye Opener. The Greenville, S.C. native was a member of the SAC Commissioners Honor Roll and was a recipient of the NCAA D-II All-Academic Award.
He was named First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference as a sophomore and was tabbed as a member of the all-freshman team in 2010. Edwards was an NCAA Southeast Regional participant in 2012 and served as a member of the Anderson Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
The Academic All-District ® teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the second year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non- Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America ® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
To be eligible for Academic All-America® consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 20,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.
The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2013-14 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.
First-team Academic All-District ® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.

How would I do this?
I have attempted double clicking on it (obviously) and I get an error of it saying that its not recognized.
My second though was using Disk Utility (the app) to try and change it from an img to an iso. The same error appeared saying that it was not recognized.
My last idea was to do some research on mounting from the terminal. The command that I used was
mount -o loop userdata.img /mnt/testcache
The result of that was:
mount: You must specify a filesystem type with -t.
After that I just ran out of idea and ran out of search queries to try.

Robin Hood used a crossbow?
Maybe you should've said "Van Helsing."
Or "Chewie."
Had he put "Go all Chewie", we might have assumed it was a deal on beef jerky instead.

The 5 Creepiest Serial Killers (Who Were Animals)
#2. The Real JAWS.
The Place: The Jersey Shore. Sadly, the attacks came several decades too early to stop Jersey Shore from entering production.
Where's a man-eating shark when you need one?
The Story:
The Jersey Shore shark attacks were the first example of "shark mania" in American history. They were the seed that grew into Shark Week, as well as the genesis behind the terrible Summer of the Shark. The attacks were also the inspiration for Peter Benchley's landmark novel Jaws, which Steven Spielberg turned in to a block-buster movie we're all duly familiar with.
From July 1 to July 12, a vicious man-eating shark terrorized the Jersey shore. The monster attacked five people, killing four of them. Shark panic soon gripped the entire area and the shore lost a quarter-million in tourist dollars (which was a lot back then), as thousands of bathers decided to spend their vacations somewhere slightly less shark infested.
"You know what else is lovely this time of year? War-torn central Europe."
Eventually, the locals fought back. Hundreds of them gathered with nets and dynamite and guns and set to work murdering every fish they could find with high explosives and random gunfire. 1916 was a different time. A better time.
The campaign was 100 percent unsuccessful. They didn't manage to kill a single shark. While everyone in Jersey was nursing a hangover, a great white with a belly full of human remains was caught by a lion-tamer named Michael Schleisser off the coast of Manhattan. The shark weighed 325-pounds and was 7.5-feet in length. Since there were no more attacks after the 14th, and the attacks had been moving north up the coast of Jersey, people realized they had dodged a terrifying bullet: a great white using the same playbook as Jason Vorhees.
A legend was born.
How He Killed:
Some experts have suggested that the Jersey man-eater couldn't possibly have been a great white. The habitat was all wrong, and the real culprit for at least a few of the attacks was likely a bull shark. More recently, experts not intent on killing the Discovery Channel's buzz have argued that the man-eater was in fact the culprit, and just really eager to eat some people. At this point, all we have to go on is what we know of about the Great White, which brings us back ...
How He Died:
... to the fucking lion tamer.
You knew we couldn't let a nugget like that slip by.
It seems perfectly reasonable for you to assume that a man who tames lions would also hunt sharks on weekends, but you would be wrong. In fact, shame on you for stereotyping. This is the exact reason lion tamers are pigeon-holed in our culture. Schleisser killed the great white out of necessity when it nearly sank his boat. In fact, he had to murder it with a broken oar in self-defense. Altogether, 15-pounds of human flesh were found in the beast's stomach. He may not have been guilty of all the killings, but those hunks of people didn't get inside its stomach by mistake.
#1. Gustave the Crocodile.
The Time:
The Place:
Burundi. One of the least fortunate countries in the least fortunate continent on the face of the planet. The hard-luck people of Burundi have had to deal with the overflow of countless civil wars and at least one genocide, not to mention plenty of civil unrest of their own. And, to top it off, their people are being stalked and systematically slaughtered by the most prolific serial killer of all time.
Source: Hollywood.
The Story:
Gustave was born roughly 66 years ago, somewhere along the Nile River near Burundi. Most of the other crocodiles of Gustave's generation were hunted down by poachers but somehow, Gustave beat the odds (please note, Gustave's distinguishing features are his massive frame and the bullet hole in his goddamn face).
Those blades of grass? They're fucking trees.
Crocodiles, like orcs and goldfish, don't ever stop growing; as long as they get a steady supply of food, they'll get bigger and bigger. A normal Nile Crocodile is about 13 to 14 feet long, but Gustave is believed to be over 20. He weighs around 2,000-pounds and local authorities claim he has devoured as many as 300 people.
How He Killed:
Normal crocodiles generally stick to large game, like cape buffalo, zebras and occasionally cartoon pirates named after their disfigurements. It follows that a larger crocodile would stick to even LARGER game, so you'd theoretically have nothing to fear, because that size requirement limits the kind of food he can eat to killer whales and your nightmares.
Gustave was different. He didn't like to eat whales or buffalo. He liked to eat humans. More accurately, he likes to kill humans. Witnesses have seen Gustave cut through whole groups of people as large as five or six, but he rarely seems to eat a whole person. Instead, he will take a bite and move on, literally killing a man just to watch him die. Maybe he's actually a vegetarian, or maybe he somehow obtains nutrients through human screaming. It wasn't uncommon for Burundi citizens to stumble across a trail of uneaten corpses left behind by Gustave.
How'd He Die?
He didn't. Of fucking course he didn't, because you can't just kill the physical manifestation of hatred. He resurfaced in 2008, and murder monster experts says he is "healthy and his prize list of victims has grown." One new addition? A fisherman that he dragged to the lake and drowned. Didn't eat him, just pulled him out and drowned him and then left because he heard a rumor that someone, somewhere didn't directly fear him.
And now he's just alive, out there. A living, breathing, scream-eating dinosaur that is so sick of his own immortality that he passes the time by destroying life whenever he sees it.
And there's nothing we can do to stop him.

Gun Advocates Have It All Wrong!
I am not an anti-gun advocate…I have owned guns for protection in my home and enjoyed hunting and target shooting, especially black powder. However, I do believe that the government, whether State or Federal, has the right, and the duty, to regulate and control firearms in our society. Regarding a statement that I recently came across by in a LTE, "If that were true then the First Amendment would have been disassembled a very long time ago." This person seems to be saying that there are no limits or controls on the 1st Amendment! If so, then he is wrong! I know the following may be long, but it is essential in understanding our Constitution and how it works!
As everyone knows, free speech rights can be controlled and regulated, especially when such speech is clearly seen as a danger to the physical safety of individuals. That's why no one may yell "Fire" in a crowded theater, when there is no fire. The threat of injury supersedes the person's right to speak.
Also, the Supreme Court has further defined certain speech, also known as "at-risk speech," as being unprotected by the First Amendment, such as:
1) Burning draft cards to protest draft — prohibited because of superior governmental interest.
2) Words likely to incite imminent violence, termed "fighting words."
3) Words immediately jeopardizing national security.
4) Newspaper publishing false and defamatory material — libel.
And, the 1st Amendment has other rights that are regulated, as well, including the taxation of religious organizations…if they want to keep their tax-free status, they may not be active in political activities. The "right of the people to peacefully assemble" is also regulated, where the safety, and even the convenience of the public, is jeopardized. Hence, Occupy Wall Street protestors were removed from certain locations, and protestors, anywhere, may not block streets and thoroughfares or may even be required to obtain permits before being allowed to assemble.
The government, Federal and State, has the right to regulate commerce, land use, the protection of our air and water, and so many other areas of our society. How were any of these actions allowed? Simply put, because the PEOPLE wanted these things. And, the PEOPLE are what allow these policies to continue.
I hear over and over again, how the "Founding Fathers wanted this and the Founding Fathers wanted that!" The fact is that the Founding Fathers knew that their wants and desires were limited by their deaths; that the world is ever evolving and changing, as they, themselves, were witness to. (see the diary of James Madison, from the 1787 Const Convention) They realized that the only way to have a government and country that would endure, was to give the PEOPLE the power and authority to make changes (even if it was just the white, male landowners)! Hence, one of the most important parts of the 1st Amendment: "…the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." If the Founding Fathers didn't want changes to happen, they would never have allowed that right to be included!
Further, the Founding Fathers also realized that they were not infallible. They knew that they were part of a "great experiment" and that, even great experiments fail if their rules and hypotheses are inflexible and not subject to change. Hence, they wanted the Judicial Branch (on par with the Executive and Legislative Branches) to be able to interpret the law and adjudicate disputes. One of the first major cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, under the great Chief Justice, John Marshall, was Marbury v. Madison (1803). It is a landmark decision on this important question: "Does the Supreme Court have the authority to review acts of Congress and determine whether they are unconstitutional and therefore void?" The answer: "Yes! The SCOTUS has the duty and responsibility to review acts of Congress to determine their Constitutionality. What this means is that the Court must be able to interpret the Constitutional intent.
Through 200+ years of interpretation, we are at a point where gun-advocates want the right to own any "military-grade" weapon they want to put into their arsenal. These "strict Constitutionalists" are wrong, not only in their Constitutional approach, but also in their thinking that we would all be safer in our beds at night, if well-armed citizens, capable of fighting against the US military, were camped across the street from us. I'm sorry, but I, for one, would not (and don't) feel safer in that scenario. The result would be not knowing who the "good guys" and the "bad guys" are…and they all want the right to walk down the street with their AR-15, or .44 Magnum! Maybe, we should all get some popcorn and sit along the Washington or Baltimore Beltways at rush hour, and see how that turns out!!

Latin Love
Hundreds of guests gathered at the residence of Colombian Ambassador Luis Carlos Villegas, and his wife, Carmela de Villegas, for the annual Noche de Pasión, a fundraiser celebrating the cultural impact of Latin music and dance. The swank soiree featured live performances by The Washington Ballet, as well as music from the Gregorio Uribe Big Band and Latin Grammy Award-Nominee Adriana Lucía.
The party included plenty of VIPs, such as Ecuador Ambassador Nathalie Cely; Former Ambassador of Mexico Arturo Sarukhan and his wife, Veronica Valencia Sarukhan; Katharine Weymouth of The Washington Post; The Washington Ballet's Septime Webre; Rep. John Delaney and his wife, April McClain-Delaney; restaurateur James Alefantis; and philanthropists Jean-Marie and Raul Fernandez.
The theme of the night, Colombia Tropical, translated into dancing and dining inspired by Colombia's coastal towns. While well-known DJ Chris spun Latin beats late into the night, the real spotlight was on the $159,000 raised for The Washington Ballet's Latino Dance Fund. –Photos by Russell Hirshon

National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is a day to "Share Knowledge. Take Action." The nationwide observance held each March 10 sheds light on the disease's often overlooked impact on women and girls and empowers people to make a difference.Every year on this important day, thousands of people, advocacy organizations, and local and state public health officials share the facts about HIV/AIDS and how it affects women and girls. They also take action in a variety of ways, such as:
You can help, too! Together, we can educate others, change behaviors, and help shape the future for women and girls.

text: I'm going to call it a night and end the tutorial day with another chibi character. He is Mordecai's best friend and they literally do everything together. Up next, you will learn "how to draw chibi Rigby", step by step. Rigby is one of my favorite characters on the Regular Show because he is a little more high strung than Mordecai. Seeing how the two are like peas and carrots, I just couldn't make a chibi out of one of the main characters from Regular Show, I just had to make them both. Like I said before, I'm a little surprised that no one asked for either Mordecai or Rigby to be drawn in chibi form. Anyways, this is going be a little easier than Mordecai. You should be able to breeze through drawing chibi Rigby pretty simply. When you're done, be sure to let me know if you liked the lesson. Adios amigos, I hope you had a fun day!

People are lazy and/or ignorant.
"Web service" is not synonymous with SOAP and WSDL. It's not the only way to do it.
The interesting experiment to run would be to provide a SOAP and WSDL based version of your REST API. Instrument it to see how much each one is used.
I'll bet that, over time, the REST API will get more users due to its simplicity. As long as both are publicized and documented equally well the simpler one will win.
Point them to Wikipedia and point out the "Web Services" part after the "RESTful" and say "it is too!" RESTful Web services at Wikipedia
It has a short blurb about SOAP in there. Or you can point them to this article that goes over SOAP, REST and their use cases.
When they say they want SOAP, do they mention WHICH SOAP features they're really after? When I'm doing Java web services, and .Net clients, I personally prefer SOAP so that VS can generate a bunch of .NET classes that'll automagically handle all the network stuff, XML parsing, and object mapping, which while isn't hard, is a PITA. That addresses the lazy issues. If there are OTHER reasons, being able to fall back to an SMTP or other transport layer, which yes, I have actually done with SOAP. Do they have an older service bus that doesn't support REST? Is your interface actually REST? (ok, I said that earlier ). There are a lot of things in SOAP that are addressed in REST with the old YAGNI argument, which is usually true, but not always.
Good Luck.

More-Classic-Rock.com conducted an interview with Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert of the reunited MR. BIG on October 10 at the Columbiaclub in Berlin, Germany. You can now watch the chat below.MR. BIG's new album, "What If", was released in Europe on January 21 via Frontiers Records. The North American release, also on Frontiers Records, followed on February 8. "What If" is MR. BIG's first "all-original" album since the reunion of the four original members, Eric Martin, Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan and Pat Torpey, back in early 2009. Sixteen years after the release of "Hey Man", the new recording is set to bring back MR. BIG on the height of the current hard rock scene. The CD was produced by Kevin Shirley (AEROSMITH, RUSH, IRON MAIDEN). Formed in 1988, MR. BIG forged its place in hard rock history by combining trademark "shredding" musicianship with awesome vocal harmonies. The original lineup produced numerous hit songs that ranged across a wide array of rock genres, be it ballads, heavy metal, or blues rock. Their hits included "To Be With You" (Billboard Hot 100 number one single in 15 countries for weeks, in 1991, propelling the band the band to huge international success and record sales in the multi-millions), "Wild World", "Green-Tinted Sixties Mind", "Just Take My Heart", and a host of heavy metal songs that were played mostly during their live performances: "Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy", "Addicted to that Rush", "Colorado Bulldog", and "Take Cover".

These goals should apply to everyone
The trademark slogan of the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), tagged on every commercial and found on its website, is "The greatest casualty is being forgotten." What a beautiful and prophetic statement. If not for WWP, many of our remaining veterans would live the remainder of their lives in an institution. WWP's statement supports the observation of Mother Teresa, who said of patients in American nursing homes, "They are hurt because they are forgotten."
The WWP statement stands as a constant reminder to us all, whether we care to believe or admit it, that those in institutional care are "forgotten" Americans. They are forgotten whether they are Medicaid patients or men and women in veteran's homes.

Our child was recently diagnosed with 10q22.3q23.2 microdeletion syndrome. She was also diagnosed with mannose binding lectin deficiency. With these both stemming from Chromosome 10 is there any additional information on these specific deletions and if there is a relation between the two? Additionally, is there any information on what possible health risks we should look out for (crohn's disease, heart, liver etc). Thank you for your time. Click here for answer
My son was diagnosed with this last year. He has had multiple vaccinations. What are the actual numbers of how many Americans have this? Is there any work being done on finding a cure? Are there any ongoing studies? I know a little girl who has the same thing and she has had problems with her urinary tract but my son only had problems with his ears, nose and throat. Are these differences common? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Its very frustrating having so many questions and not many answers. Click here for answer
My child was just diagnosed with mannose binding lectin protein deficiency. There is alot of information out there, but most is confusing. Are there any statistics on how many people have this?

Blood and Memory: The Quickening Book Two (Mass Market Paperback)
The fate of nations hangs
in precarious balance
as a young soldier urgently
seeks answers to a
sinister blessing . . .
General Wyl Thirsk of Morgravia has seen his best friend slain, his sister tortured, and his mentor consigned to a certain death -- all at the sadistic whim of his sovereign, King Celimus. Now Celimus hungrily eyes the neighboring realm, Briavel, and its inexperienced Queen Valentyna, pressuring her into a doomed political marriage -- and thereby forcing Wyl's hand toward confrontation and treason, for only he can save the woman he loves from her hideous fate.
But destiny will send Wyl far from the evil machinations of the despicable king. And as war threatens from the north, where the hated King of the Barbarians plots against the south, Wyl must find the mysterious bestower of Myrren's gift in a bid to control the curse that has thrown his life into chaos . . . and is intricately and terrifyingly woven into the future of three realms.

BG Group completed the sale of a second and final stake in the Quintero LNG regasification terminal in Chile to Terminal de Va lparaiso, a company majority owned by Spain's Enagás, for $176 million.
BG Group on Friday completed the
previously-announced sale of a second and final 20%
equity interest in the Quintero LNG regasification terminal in
Chile to Terminal de Va lparaiso, a company majority owned by
Enagás S.A. of Spain, for $176 million.
An agreement to sell BG Groups entire 40% interest in
Quintero LNG to Enagás was announced in April 2012, with
the transfer of an initial 20% stake completed in September
The sale of the two equity stakes, part of what BG Group
says is an approach to active portfolio management, raised
a combined $352 million.
The sale applies only to BG Groups shareholding in
GNLQ, the owner and operator of the 2.5 million-tpy capacity
regasification terminal in Quintero, Chile.
The agreements do not impact BG's long-term contracts to supply
LNG to the Chilean market, according to the company.

Hindustan Petroleum will own 74% of the project, while the Rajasthan state government will own the rest. The refinery, located in Rajasthan's Bamer town, is expected to go on stream in four years.
By MUKESH JAGOTA
NEW DELHI -- India's cabinet on Friday approved
state-run Hindustan Petroleum Corp.'s (HPCL) 372 billion rupee
($6 billion) refinery and petrochemicals complex in the
northwestern state of Rajasthan, Information and Broadcasting
Minister Manish Tewari said.
The 9 million tpy refinery will mostly draw upon crude
supplies from Cairn India Ltd.'s oilfields in the
Hindustan Petroleum will own 74% of the project, while the Rajasthan state
government will own the rest. The refinery, located in Rajasthan's
Bamer town, is expected to go on stream in four years.
The project's clearance comes ahead of
state elections in Rajasthan, due to take place toward the end
of this year.
India imports three-fourths of its
energy requirement but has one of the world's largest refining capacities. The country has
also emerged as one the largest exporters of refined products
in the world.

Very good decision taken by the cabinet. Let us hope it gets built up without unnecessary delays.
Alan Cross
Please advise if there would be an interest in an innovative low cost design for a cracking heater using vaporized naphtha, ethane or propane feed, for ethylene production in the new Rajasthan refinery.The cracking heater design, however, requires construction and operation of a prototype or a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to verify performance.The proposed design referred to above is also based on an improvement of an existing design for a heavy oil coker described in a U.S.patent by Alan Cross.

CHARLOTTE, NC - The Charlotte 49ers (6-0), who are off to one of the best starts in school history, play in-state rival East Carolina (5-0) in Halton Arena, Saturday, December 1 at 7 pm.
The 49ers return to Halton Arena after capturing the Great Alaska Shootout title last week with wins over Texas State, Oral Roberts and Northeastern. Pierria Henry was named the Tournament's Most Outstanding Player. While, Chris Braswell and Terrence Williams earned All-Tournament honors for their performances in the Shootout.
Braswell leads the 49ers in scoring at 14.6 points per game. He also leads the 49ers in rebounding at 6.6 boards per game. Williams is second on the team in scoring at 10.5 points per game. DeMario Mayfield is third on the team in scoring at 10.3 points per game. Mayfield scored a team game-high 17 points off the bench in the 49ers win over Oral Roberts last week. Henry is fourth on the team in scoring at eight points per game. He leads the team in assists with 26 and steals with 18. Denzel Ingram, who scored 11 points against Texas State, is fifth on the team in scoring at 7.5 points per game. Willie Clayton, who has started every game this season, averages 6.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. Darion Clark, who scored 10 points against Northeastern, averages 6.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. E. Victor Nickerson, who has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, is expected to play against East Carolina. He averages six points per game. JT Thompson has given the 49ers quality minutes off the bench. He averages 4.8 points per game. Ivan Benkovic came off the bench and knocked down several crucial three-pointers for the 49ers last week in Alaska.
This game will mark the 21st meeting between Charlotte and East Carolina. The 49ers hold a 14-6 series lead. Charlotte is 7-2 all-time at home against East Carolina. The 49ers defeated East Carolina, 76-64, in their last meeting which came at East Carolina, December 3, 2011. Charlotte has won the last seven meetings between the two teams at home. Charlotte defeated East Carolina, 80-68, in their last meeting in Halton Arena, December 2, 2009. In that game, former 49ers standout DiJuan Harris led three 49ers in double-figures with 17 points. Braswell scored three points and grabbed eight rebounds in the game.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will join forces with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves to host the ninth annual Toys for Tots drive beginning in December. Fans will have two opportunities to participate in the drive. The first collection will take at the Charlotte-East Carolina game this Saturday. The second collection is set for Saturday, December 8 when the women's basketball team takes on Stetson at 7 p.m. at Halton Arena. During the games, fans are invited to donate new, unwrapped toys that will later be distributed to children in need. Fans can drop donations in the marked "Toys for Tots" bin at the entrance to Halton Arena prior to each game. Toys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to children.

I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 32GB, when I check the storage I have only 25.5GB. Where is the other 6.5GB?
Usually this space is taken up by various things that come with the device, like resources for the OS, built-in apps, and just disk information. Even formatting an 8 GB SD card will only get you 7.49 GB. That same logic would leave you with 30 GB, the rest is most likely the OS, and various system resources.
The 32GB are in 1000Byte = 1KB Logic, and the 25GB should be in Binary Logic, so 1024Byte = 1KB. which gives at first a "loss" of about 2GB: 32GB = 29,8023GiB
the rest of the space is mostly the android system, reserved space for cache etc... one small part will be the journal of the ext file sytstem which is used instead of yaffs. So arround 200-400MB i think will be covered by the ext journal.
you have the same problem with harddisks too. The firms write it in decimal logic but the operating system does it in binary. Some Operating Systems nowadays also write the correct GiB or MiB or KiB but not all...

The Consent Counts project involves the BDSM communities in a nationwide education and activism program coordinated and led by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. This multifaceted campaign includes a comprehensive is analysis of current laws and court decisions, the development of legal arguments for changing the laws, participating in court cases, and ultimately, through lobbying, education and grass-roots activism, changing state laws and the way the public and the courts view BDSM. An important element of the project also includes an Educational Outreach Program (EOP) to educate our own communities of the current state of the law, of the effort NCSF is undertaking and to involve them in our strategic planning process and development of "best practices" by which we can protect ourselves and facilitate change.
Click here to go to the Consent Counts Program Page
According to the February 7th article:
Peter LaBarbera, executive director of Americans for Truth commented that he is not sure if he is more surprised by one of the sponsors of the event or by one of the activists who will be honored. "It's incredible to me," he continues. "But the Democratic Party is endorsing an event where they're actually presenting an award for sadomasochism."
A sponsorship acknowledgement notes that the Democratic National Committee gave at least $2,500 to help pay for the event. The recipient of the "Leather Leadership Award" is Guy Baldwin, a psychotherapist who has successfully lobbied against treating sadomasochism as a mental health problem.
To see the entire article, go to: http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?
In point of fact, the Democratic National Committee did not sponsor Creating Change or the Leather Leadership Award.
The Task Force does have a strong history of supporting the BDSM-leather-fetish communities. In previous years, this included awarding their Leather Leadership Award to Dave Rhodes of The Leather Journal and Tony DeBlase, creator of the Leather Pride Flag, as well as providing tracks and roundtables for activists dedicated to leather community issues.
"Those who persecute our communities know that The Task Force and the BDSM-leather-fetish communities have shared agendas in promoting tolerance and non-discrimination for sexual minorities, including those involved in alternate lifestyles. We grow stronger the more we stand together," says NCSF Spokesperson Susan Wright.
From Guy Balwin's acceptance speech for the Leather Leadership Award at Creating
"One of the many reasons it is important for The Task Force to be sending these signals of acknowledgement and legitimacy out to the LGBTIQQ world is that when our enemies in the struggle for self-determination look in our direction, they can't see the amazing diversity represented in a room like this one. No, to our enemies, we all look the same. They make none of the distinctions that we, ourselves, have made. To our enemies, garbage is garbage, no matter what color we are.....how old we are.....how we smell, or how we play. And that's just one reason it's important that we build bridges between our diverse communities and that's why this award to me today matters to all our communities. But the effort to build these bridges will be
wasted unless they are vigilantly maintained from both sides." b Guy Baldwin
We ask you to send a short note of appreciation to the Task Force:
Roberta Sklar, Communications Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Dear Ms. Sklar,
Thank you for your recognition and inclusion of the BDSM-leather-fetish communities in your annual conference, Creating Change. The Leather Caucus and workshops on alternative sexuality have been very important to the LGBT members of our communities, providing a place where we can gather with our peers and discuss activist issues.
I congratulate you on choosing to give your Leather Leadership Award this year to Guy Baldwin for his activist efforts on behalf of the leather community. I proudly support The Task Force and am glad to join together on our common and shared goals of equality for all Americans.
(your name)
Guy Baldwin is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist, author and activist on behalf of "erotically uncommon people." Baldwin may be best known for his monthly essays which appeared in Drummer Magazine and were collected in his 1993 book, Ties That Bind. Baldwin is a former titleholder, having served in 1989 as Mister National Leather Association and also as the 11th International Mr. Leather. In 1987, Baldwin launched the DSM Project to mobilize mental health professionals worldwide to press for changes to the official clinical definitions that had long been used to label leather people, gay and otherwise, as pathological. The DSM Project succeeded with the publication of new and substantially improved language in 1993 in the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).
The National Coalition for Sexual Freedom is a national organization committed to creating a political, legal, and social environment in the United States that advances equal rights of consenting adults who practice forms of alternative sexual expression. NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.

STEUBENVILLE - City Recreation Director Troy Kirkendall said Wednesday he is considering his future options and may resign from the post he has held since February 2011.
Kirkendall made his announcement during a special parks and recreation board meeting called to discuss the recreation department in 2013.
"I am still considering my options at this point. But I wanted the board to hear about this from me. I don't want to see the recreation program fall apart. I am not just parting ways. I don't have anything else lined up yet. And I am willing to help you out as long as I can. I will be there for you as long as I can. I really don't know where I am going or what I am going to do," Kirkendall told the board members.
Kirkendall was named the director of parks and recreation in early February 2011 to replace Dwan Johnson, who resigned in September 2010.
He moved to Steubenville from Southwestern Kentucky, where he was in charge of nine parks.
"I have worked in several places and Steubenville feels the most like home," Kirkendall commented.
"I am excited to be here and to be taking on these new duties. And I am looking forward to working to grow recreation in the community," Kirkendall said in 2011.
"We are talking about an individual's life here. He can't be expected to tread water. I appreciate everything you have done and I pray you will stay here in Steubenville," board Chairperson Sandi Rue remarked.
But last week Kirkendall had to lay off four part-time recreation aides at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center and move full-time recreation staff workers to the center in order to keep the building open until March on a reduced operating schedule.
City officials have cited a projected deficit in 2012 and a larger projected deficit in 2013 as the reason for the cutback in recreation services.
City Manager Cathy Davison had announced at the November recreation board meeting that the pool would not open next year because of financial issues facing the city.
Davison said Wednesday night she has held discussions with three major interests in the community who expressed interest in re-opening the Belleview Pool in 2013.
"And I had a meeting Monday with local community stakeholders who had a list of 600 people willing to be part of the solution and willing to work to keep the MLK Center open. We will ask them to fill out a volunteer form so a police background check can be done," Davison shared with the recreation board members.
"I have been training city police officers on how to close the recreation center if I am unavailable to be there. And we will be closing for the Christmas and New Year's holidays," Kirkendall noted.
"If there was one thing I have done right while I have been on this board, it was the hiring of Troy as recreation director. He has been great," observed board member Jason Jenkins.
Board member Vicki Nurczyk agreed and called Kirkendall " a true professional."
The recreation board, City Council recreation committee members and Davison said there will be a greater need for volunteers to maintain recreation activities in the city in 2013.
"We can't dwell on yesterday. We have to move forward. I can show you cities that are much worse. We don't want to get that bad. Maybe civic organizations can step up and sponsor a day to keep the recreation center open. People from Steubenville have to help Steubenville," board member Jim Emmerling said.
"I don't think a lot of people realize how many under privileged kids there are in this community. They need recreation activities. We have to figure this out. There are not a whole lot of places for kids to go. At some point we have to get more people involved in our community," continued Emmerling.
City Manager Cathy Davison said she has been in discussions with Franciscan University of Steubenville and Eastern Gateway Community College regarding mentors and interns volunteering at the center.
"I also plan to talk to the Ohio Governor's Office on Appalachia about any possible funding. I do not want to see the recreation center close," said Davison.
"We are all here for the kids in this community. We have to keep the recreation center for the kids," stated 5th Ward Councilman Willie Paul.
Paul also suggested banner advertising at the parks may generate additional money for recreation.
Councilman at large Kenny Davis said he "believes the council, recreation board and city administration will find ways to keep the recreation center open."
"But we need to work together. Recreation may not be what it once was but we are going to do our best," Davis said.

This question is not technical but rather "ideological" - where in WP should favicon be stored (in "correct" way)? Should it be in the root (where wp-config.php) is stored OR should it be in current theme's folder? Or should 2 copies be kept (which I don't want to do)? I know, either way will work and will result in no errors but I'd like to know better/correct/more semantical, etc. way.
I would only store it in the theme folder if I expected the favicon to change when I change the theme. Which I don't.
A favicon is part of the total site identity, not a function of the CMS. What if you use non-WP software to run different parts of the site — e.g., a photo gallery, forum, or wiki (or all of the above)?
Put the favicon in the website root, and all software packages will have access to it, usually automatically (though you may have to remove hardcoded LINKs from individual themes).
(Edit) To clarify: If no LINK is specified, all modern web browsers (except Seamonkey, though an option exists to enable it) automatically look for a favicon at the root directory, i.e., example.com/favicon.ico. So there is no reason to add a LINK element, and good reason not to.
Furthermore, if the LINK element is malformed (has a typo, say) or the file located there is corrupt or in a format the browser doesn't understand, the browser will go looking for /favicon.ico anyway, so not having a file there will result in 404 errors in your logs.
There is one case where a LINK is appropriate, and that is if you want different favicons for different pages of your site.
It should always be in the root folder then it'll work whether you explicitly link to it or not.
You can also use this as a function in your theme's
Even though there are quality answers here, I thought I'd throw in two cents from a different perspective. I manage many blogs and sites in a WordPress MultiSite environment, where the root directory is not an option. In these cases, it's best to put favicons in the theme directory as the WordPress Codex recommends.
The Favicon isn't dynamic and doesn't "conflict" with anything else, with that in mind, I hard code it in the header.php and am then done with it.

How and from where does a mathematician learn physics from a mathematical stand point? I am reading the book by Spivak Elementary Mechanics from a mathematicians view point. The first couple of pages of Lecture 1 of the book summarizes what I intend by physics from a mathematical stand point. I wanted to find out what are the other good sources for other branches of physics.
Before answering, please see our policy on resource recommendation questions. Please write substantial answers that detail the style, content, and prerequisites of the book, paper or other resource. Explain the nature of the resource so that readers can decide which one is best suited for them rather than relying on the opinions of others. Answers containing only a reference to a book or paper will be removed!
You want the book by V.I. Arnold, Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics. It takes a very rigorous, axiomatic approach to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, and it should be accessible to, and enjoyable by, a broad spectrum of mathematicians.
For more details see this review by Ian Sneddon, which also covers Walter Thirring's A course in mathematical physics, vol. 1: Classical dynamical systems.
It is not just local-patriotism, but because I really think this book series should be very accessible to Mathematicians: Walter Thirring, A Course in Mathematical Physics, various volumes.
For more details see this review by Ian Sneddon, which also covers V.I. Arnold's book.
If you're into general relativity, you could try General Relativity for Mathematicians, by Sachs and Wu. I only know general relativity for physicists, so I can't comment on whether this book is any good, but it might be worth a try.
Sachs is the one known to relativists and cosmologists for the Sachs-Wolfe effect. He taught my E&M class when I was a graduate student at Berkeley in the early 1990s. He was housed in the mathematics department, but I guess he had a joint appointment in physics.
For mechanics at the next level (or perhaps skipping a level), you could try Jerrold E. Marsden & Tudor S. Ratiu, "Introduction to Mechanics and Symmetry", Springer, 1994.
For quantum field theory, a recent attempt at a moderately elementary level is http://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Theory-Mathematical-Surveys-Monographs/dp/0821847058, by Gerald B. Folland, which has the subtitle "a tourist guide for mathematicians".
For quantum field theory I like Folland's book "Quantum Field Theory. A Tourist Guide for Mathematicians", because it is written by a mathematician with mathematicians as readers in mind. It is full of comments and explanations that a mathematician needs and are usually not in the physics books. Also he clearly says which parts a rigorous, from a mathematics point of view, and which are not.
I personally don't know of particular books dedicated to the subject covering all areas of physics (maybe "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" by Riley, Hobson and Bence isn't quite what you're looking for), but if you happen to come across the subject of Quantum Field Theory then I suggest you have a look at "Quantum Field Theory for Mathematicians" by Ticciati.
You might try, now in paperback,
Th. Frankel: The Geometry of Physics, An Introduction, Cambridge U.P. (Cambridge), 1997.
It's a course in differential geometry, actually, but one oriented towards physics, with succinct but comprehensive enough developments of physical theories (mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, Yang-Mills ...). It's a bit like Burke's Applied Differential Geometry (which I like too), but longer and more systematic.
E. Zeidler, Quantum Field theory I Basics in Mathematics and Physics, Springer 2006. http://www.mis.mpg.de/zeidler/qft.html
is a book I highly recommend. It is the first volume of a sequence, of which not all volumes have been published yet. This volume gives an overview over the main mathematical techniques used in quantum physics, in a way that you cannot find anywhere else.
It is a mix of rigorous mathematics and intuitive explanation, and tries to build ''A bridge between mathematiciands and physicists'' as the subtitle says.
The main difference between mathematicians and physicists is that the former define their terms, and the latter do not. I.e., mathematicians are logical, physicists, even theoretical physicists, except for Dirac, are willing to be illogical. A novel about Oxford life had in it the line «Of course, you began by defining your terms...» so this distinction is relevant in the rest of life as well....
Do not neglect Laurent Schwartz's wonderful book Mathematics for the Physical Sciences. This is not at all what you asked for.
Hertz and Maxwell were both willing to be logical on occasion and both wrote wonderful physics books attemtping to better Newton's great Principia: do not neglect Hertz's The principles of mechanics : presented in a new form or Maxwell's Matter and Motion. This is not quite what you wanted either.
Sommerfeld's five volume series is still the best: he was a great physicist and everything is presented from a physics viewpoint, but he is logical enough to be undertanded of the pe... I mean, the mathematicians. This is what you wanted. I am not pleased with Arnol'd, Marsden, Sternberg, et hoc genus omne. I would recommend giving them a miss. I consult Greiner's volumes quite often, but you had better avoid them. I do have a high opinion of Thirring's series, but I don't know why.... Feynman is not what you want either. For Quantum Mechanics, though, Dirac's famous textbook is indeed what you want, and there is no alternative (umm. well, maybe Vladimir Fock) (it is not included in Sommerfeld's series).
You mention, in specific, GenRel. Read Weyl. (On this topic, at least, Landau and Lifschitz are not trustworthy.) Or else the original papers by Einstein and Hilbert. It is unfortunate that Weyl and Hilbert, in order to justify to themselves publishing something where they felt Einstein obviously had priority, felt it necessary to include «something more» so each one tried to unify gravity with electromagnetism...and neither Mother Nature nor History has judged their «extras» too kindly...--- but Weyl at least invented gauge field theory while trying to do this, so I cannot decide whether or not to tell you to absolutely skip every part of Weyl's book where he tries to «improve» on Einstein. I would like to, but I cannot bring myself to do it.
Mathematics is a language in which physicist express their ideas. It is mathematics which helps to reach and imagine results which are far beyond reach of direct imagination of a physicist mind, at times. Mathematics really helps to imagine complex ideas.
A mathematician has all the tools ready in his hand to learn physics, as physics utilizes power of mathematics to understand nature. Hence, I believe that it would be of really help if mathematician understands how physicist employs math and how physicist see or interpret math for physical concepts.
With classics like Landau's book, Goldstein's book, I would suggest two other classics: Feynman's Lectures on physics part 1 and Berkeley physics course part 1 for classical mechanics.
Feynman's Lectures will be an exact place to learn physicist point of view.

7 Things 'Good Parents' Do (That Screw Up Kids For Life)
It seems like it's close to impossible to raise a normal child these days, what with the violent video games and the 4chan and the childhood obesity. But if the latest research is to be believed, even the good stuff we thought we were doing for our kids is ruining them.
Yes, as it turns out the most innocent things we do to our kids every day can fuck them up worse than having the Joker shoot their parents in front of them.
#7. Giving Your Kids a Creative Name
You'd Think...
You want your kid to be special. There are a few million Daves, Bobs and Johns running around NOT being totally awesome and obviously it's all because of their boring-ass names. So you decide to name your son something original, like Malcolm, Ivan or Dicksmash McIroncock.
But in Reality...
You have just sent your flesh and blood straight into the middle of a massive man-rape in the prison shower. According to a study at the Shippensburg University, kids growing up with ordinary, popular names have a higher chance to become law abiding citizens, while all the unusually named ones should start deciding what state they want to commit their first felony in (friendly tip, skip Texas). The study lists the top 10 bad boy names in America as: Alec, Ernest, Garland, Ivan, Kareem, Luke, Malcolm, Preston, Tyrell and Walter, which we must point out are not the names of any serial killer or presidential assassin that has ever existed, so we're assuming the research is skewed in a certain direction.
Although, Steve Buscemi played a serial killer named Garland in Con Air, so we guess that's maybe half a point?
The theory is that the additional attention garnered by odd and unusual names can cause peer ridicule and discrimination in the workforce, which tends to result in a few thousand Alecs and Prestons stealing toilet paper from the gas station. So do your kid a favor and give him a typical law-abiding, mentally stable name, like Michael.
OK, how about "Frank?"
#6. Teaching Them To Be Themselves
You'd Think...
Peer pressure is the thing that makes kids smoke cigarettes, do drugs and read pornographic magazines by the time they reach middle school. As countless PSAs and after-school specials taught us, we must teach our kids to be themselves and never give two halves of a fuck about what their "friends" think.
But in Reality...
Remember that smelly kid in school, who never washed his hair, had no friends and once pissed in the sink at that party he wasn't invited to? That's your kid, without peer pressure. A study conducted at the University of Virginia showed that kids who were exposed to peer pressure around the ages of 12 and 13 turned out to be way more well-adjusted than the ones who weren't. They better understood the need to accommodate and make compromises when confronted with social pressure, rather than the "I'll just take my ball and go home" attitude they adopt otherwise.
Totally well-adjusted.
The kids who were taught to be themselves no matter what didn't become walking clones of James Dean. They actually turned out less engaged, socially challenged and statistically less intelligent, their GPAs dropping almost an entire letter grade.
Maybe more importantly, when you actually give a damn about how people view you, it develops a skill of reading the most subtle changes in people's emotional states, leading ultimately to a heightened sense of empathy. In this socially awkward age of the Internet, it turns out peer pressure at the right time can basically give you superpowers.
Empathy Man! He won't piss in your sink (probably)!
#5. Making Them Play Sports
You'd Think...
Nobody wants their child to grow up a dateless nerd, so as soon as his bones harden up, it's off to football practice. There, the guy who used to steal your lunch money and punched a girl at recess in fourth grade will teach your children important life lessons about fair play and sportsmanship, which will naturally transform them into honest, hard working adults.
Like this one.
But in Reality...
Remember your school days, when Steve the quarterback managed to keep passing his classes despite firmly believing that the first president of the United States was George Washington Carver? If you suspected he was cheating somehow, a study of over 5000 students from the Los Angeles-based Josephson Institute seems to confirm it. According to the study, athletes are some of the most dishonest kids in school, with football players turning out the worst with over 72 percent admitting to having cheated during various examinations. Where does this attitude come from? The study suggests it might be the coaches.
"No, no, take the bat with you!"
But let's face it, you're not sending your kid off to practice so he can have a good time and make friends. You want some goddamn trophies, so coaches are not above teaching kids how to cut corners, feign injuries and do whatever humiliating damage they can to their opponents, because hey, nothing else matters but winning, right?
No, nothing else does.
#4. Starting Them In School Early
You'd Think...
Education must not wait. Your parents waited until you were seven before sending you to school and look at how fucking sad you turned out. You'll be damned if your child suffers the same ill-fate. Is six-months old too early to start attending school? Come on, what's the worst that could happen?
Other than this.
But in Reality...
We hope you didn't have any plans to remodel your basement, because your kid will be living there for a very long time. A study by the National Foundation for Educational Research in the UK has concluded that children who start schooling before the age of six are more likely to drop out from higher education facilities, smoke weed and play guitar badly.
Researchers say sending kids to school before they've developed even the basic little-kid skills of a six-year-old can cause them to suffer from anxiety attacks and develop low self-esteem issues, giving them a bad attitude about the whole "going to school" thing that follows them throughout their education.
This does introduce children to the hopeless, bitter disappointment that is life and prepares them for their soul crushing future office workplace, but even those places want at least a high school diploma.

This spring, Staff Council hosted the 38th Annual Years of Service banquet. 154 staff members received recognition for their years of service to CU-Boulder. See the sidebar for this year's honorees.
Chancellor DiStefano, a 40-year honoree this year, opened the event by expressing his deep appreciation for the staff being honored and for the vital role of staff in the everyday operations of the university. Honorees came up to the podium and had their pictures taken with the Chancellor in front of a cheering crowd of colleagues, family and friends.
Each year Staff Council's Awards and Staff Recognition Committee sends out certificates to five, 10 and 15 cumulative years of service awardees using the HRMS database of the previous calendar year; e.g. staff who hit these years of service benchmarks in calendar year 2013 were acknowledged at the May 6 event. The time lag is needed to compile the list because there is no definitive report that tracks cumulative years of service within the CU System. Staff achieving 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service are given gift certificates and pins, and are invited to this event.
Staff who have retired within calendar year 2013 with more than 20 years of service are also invited to come and take one last round of applause for a career worth celebrating.
Pictures that were taken at the event will be sent to the recipients and some will soon be posted on the UCB Staff Council website.
You do not have to be a member of Staff Council to serve on any of our many committees. For more information or to contact us, visit www.colorado.edu/staffcouncil.
