Bestselling author William Bernhardt is an unsurpassed master at blending psychological suspense with gripping, surprise-filled legal action. Now, Bernhardt and his crusading attorney Ben Kincaid return in a thrilling story of love, hate, and the power of a courtroom to separate deception from the truth.
In Tulsa, Ben Kincaid has built a national reputation as a stalwart defense attorney who will fight tirelessly for his clients. In Evanston, Illinois, Johnny Christensen has built a national reputation as a sadistic bigot who beat and stabbed a gay man and left him to die. When Johnny's mother comes to Ben and begs him to defend her son, he has one secret reason for saying no.
But while Ben turns down the case, his younger, beautiful partner, Christina McCall, does not. Traveling to Chicago and facing an explosion of controversy and deadly violence surrounding the trial, Christina steps into a case that is already nearly lost. Her client's only defense is his claim that he left his victim bludgeoned but alive. To prove that someone else committed the actual murder, Christina needs a little bit of evidence—and a good motive to go with it.
When unforeseen circumstances force Ben Kincaid to enter the trial, the defense attorney sees only one way to prove Johnny's innocence. But Ben's plan means luring a killer out of the woodwork—even though he may kill again. . . .
A novel of gut-wrenching twists and surprises, this thriller brilliantly explores the passions between lovers—and the passions behind society's most heinous crimes. Once again, the remarkable William Bernhardt makes us challenge every assumption, second-guess every judgment, and feel the terror of the truth.
About the Author
William Bernhardt (b. 1960), a former attorney, is a bestselling thriller author. Born in Oklahoma, he began writing as a child, submitting a poem about the Oklahoma Land Run to "Highlights" and receiving his first rejection letter when he was eleven years old. Twenty years later, he had his first success, with the publication of "Primary Justice" (1991), the first novel in the long-running Ben Kincaid series.The success of "Primary Justice" marked Bernhardt as a promising young talent, and he followed the book with seventeen more mysteries starring the idealistic defense attorney, including "Murder One "(2001) and "Hate Crime" (2004). Bernhardt s other novels include "Double Jeopardy "(1995) and "The Midnight Before Christmas" (1998), a holiday-themed thriller. In 1999, Bernhardt founded Bernhardt Books (formerly HAWK Publishing Group) as a way to help boost the careers of struggling young writers. In addition to writing and publishing, Bernhardt teaches writing workshops around the country. He currently lives with his family in Oklahoma.

NACUBO Submits Comments on E-Verify
August 12, 2008
NACUBO joined ACE and other higher education associations on a comment letter in response to a notice of proposed rulemaking issued by the General Services Administration. The proposed rule is intended to carry out the Executive Order dated June 6, 2008, which requires that certain federal contractors and subcontractors use the "E-Verify" employment verification program to verify the work eligibility of certain employees.
Specific concerns outlined in the comment letter are:
- The proposed rule exceeds and circumvents statutory limitations placed on the program.
- The proposed rule mandates that contractors use the E-Verify program, contrary to the express intent of Congress that the program be voluntary. Furthermore, it would require that employers use E-Verify to verify current employees directly engaged in work under the contract, despite the fact that the law permits verification of new hires only.
- Error rates are very high in the existing system and the heavy influx of employers who will have to enroll will burden it even further. The government should take a more measured approach or a phased approach in increasing E-Verify participation.
- The threat of error rates is amplified by the current lack of recourse employees and employers have in the event of a false non-confirmation.
- The rule fails to account for problems international personnel have encountered obtaining social security numbers.
- The requirement to re-verify existing employees poses administrative problems.
- Clarity is needed in the final rule ensuring that primary contractors would not be held liable for E-Verify violations committed by subcontractors.
NACUBO and other higher education associations are committed to enhancing homeland and national security and remain unequivocal in support of effective employment verification.

Where are the Originals? Once were photographs… Peter Lyssiotis
Where are the Originals? slows down the frantic pace of photography in the modern era, pausing for a breath in our rush to capture every moment by taking an over-the-shoulder look at photography and interrogating it. Amongst other things this exhibition posits the view that once an idea has been stretched, almost to breaking point, it will return inevitably to the original.
Lyssiotis' process of scratching, erasing, sanding and over drawing an existing image is a way of drawing those photographs, which have been made and already reproduced back to their essence… light. So that the immediacy of photography goes arm-in-arm with the meditative nature of drawing.
Based on two series of works, "Men of Flowers" and "… & Now?" these works look at the challenge of making visible that which the initial photographer has not foreseen, revealing, in the process, what was hidden in the original, with a view, always, to reach for those unexpected levels of poetry (and perhaps humour).

FOUND IN TRANSLATION: DEAKIN UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY is part of Gosia Wlodarczak's ongoing Instruction Drawing project. Taking a drawing produced during a residency at the Western Washington University Art Gallery in 2012 as her starting point, Wlodarczak has developed two pictorial alphabets, each letter of the English alphabet represented by a small detail of this drawing.
Using these pictorial alphabets, Wlodarczak has created a series of three site-specific wall drawings, each containing encoded texts. The first has been completed by the artist; the second, by Deakin University Art Gallery staff using a manual provided by the artist, INSTRUCTION FOR THE MAKER; and the third will be a collaboration with visitors to the exhibition. Texts selected by the artist and University staff, which relate to project and to the specific context of the University setting, are encoded within two of the drawings, which may be decoded using a set of instructions provided by the artist: INSTRUCTION FOR THE VIEWER. Visitors to the exhibition are invited to contribute a word to the project, which the artist will translate into a third wall drawing during a four day residency from 28 April to 1 May, culminating in a collaborative concrete poem.
Gosia Wlodarczak extends the practice of drawing in performative, interactive and conceptual projects that respond to her direct environment and explore the idea of drawing and language being coded modes of communication.

Hi I'm so used to drinking coffee and tea everyday. So itt's been so hard to keep awake at work suddenly cutting all those off, what can you drink during this time, anything that can boost your energy level?
What do/can you drink during pregnancy?
Comments (7)
I do find that cold water actually helps. I think your body feels more tired when you are dehydrated so drinking some cold water is a little pick-me-up. It's nothing like coffee, but it helps a little.
You can drink instead of coffee freshly squeezed juices.. Healthier and more beneficial.
I still drink tea, but in moderation.
Wife to an awesome husband....
Mother to an awesome daughter...and a rainbow on the way!!!
I'm sarcastic. AND WHAT?!?!?
You can still have a cup of coffee! If you usually drink your coffee strong, make it weaker, otherwise limit yourself to one cup. The container for whatever coffee you drink should say how much caffeine is in it.
From this page: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/caffeine.html
"Statement: A pregnant woman should not consume ANY caffeine.
Facts: Experts have stated that moderate levels of caffeine have not been found to have a negative effect on pregnancy. The definition of moderate varies anywhere from 150 mg - 300 mg a day."
I gave up everything with my son and I was miserable the entire pregnancy. This time, I'm still have 1 cup coffee each morning and I feel sooooo much different this time around then I did with my son, so far. I limit myself to no more than 200 mg of caffeine per day.
So, have a cup of coffee, just limit yourself to one, and read the instructions about how much caffeine is in your particular brand/preference of coffee. Make it at home so you know. Don't drink espresso and no Starbucks drinks.
Don't forget that chocolate also contains caffeine, so if you decide to drink coffee, limit chocolate, or pay close attention to the caffeine content - hot chocolate too.

1 PLUG-ON CIRCUIT BREAKER MOUNTING DEVICE PLU GGABLE ONTO A BUS BAR STACK FOR RELATIVELY LARGE PLUG-ON CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND INCLUDING MEANS FOR MOUNTING RELATIVELY SMALL PLUG-ON CIRCUIT BREAKERS NOT PLUGGABLE DIRECTLY ONTO THE BUS BAR STACK This invention relates generally to electrical panelboards and more particularly to a plug-on circuit breaker mounting device for'service section switchboards. 1
It is an object of the present invention to provide such a circuit breakermounting device for mounting in a switchboard which permits simple, reliable and safe conversion of a switchboard having a main bus with a relatively high current carrying capacity at least partially into a plurality of distribution circuits each having a relatively lower current carrying capacity.
It is another object of the invention to provide such a circuit breaker mounting device which is an integral unit, which may be selectively installed in or removed from a switchboard and which simply and safely receives and supports a plurality of circuit controlling devices each having substantially the relatively lower current carrying capacity.
- Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of a particular embodiment, taken together with the attached drawings thereof, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, taken generally from the bottom, and partially broken away, of a plug-on circuit breaker mounting device constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a view in bottom elevation of the circuit breaker mounting device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view-in front elevation of the mounting device;
FIG. 4 is a view in side elevation of the mounting device; and
FIG. 5 is a front perspective view, partially broken away, showing portions of a switchboard enclosure with a circuit breaker mounting device mounted therein.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a plug-on circuit breaker mounting device, generally designated 10, suitable for use with an electrical switchboard of the type shown in copending application, Ser. No. 298,320, filed Oct. 17, 1972, and assigned to the assignee of this application and which includes an enclosure and an electrical panelboard, similar to those disclosed in Jorgensen et al., US. Reissue Pat. No. 26,737, dated Dec. 9, 1969, which has a three-phase electrical circuit including three parallel electrical buses suitably separated by parallel member molded of insulating material. Mounting device includes a sheet metal base member or mounting pan 12 having its sides turned upwardly at 14 and return looped upon themselves to present continuous rolled-over mounting beads or bars at 16 and 18 which extend substantially the entire length of pan 12. The insulating portions of the mounting device 10 include, at one end, an end insulator 20 which constitutes an end barrier and, at the other end,
an insulating shroud 22, to be discussed in greater det ail below. Four insulating base sections 24 (See FIG.
ing base sections are shown, for example, in Stanback et al., US. Pat. No. 2,902,632, dated Sept. 1, 1959. As is illustrated in FIG. 6 of that patent, each insulating base section is provided with a slot along its lower legs and a complementary projection at the opposite end of the insulating base section with the slots and projections in adjacent insulating base sections being interengageable to provide for alignment of adjacent insulating base sections. One end of each insulating base section is provided with a recess to allow accommodation space for a complementary portion at the opposite end of the adjacent insulating base section so that the adjacent sections fit snugly to present a continuous row of insulating units.
In assembling the insulating base sections within the pan l2, terminal end insulator 20 is fixed in place with screws 25 extending through end insulator 20 and pan 12 and four insulating base sections 24 are assembled and joined together and placed in the pan 12 against end insulator 20. Then, the shroud 22 is positioned and secured by suitable screws 26 (See FIG. 3) extending through the shroud 22 and pan 12 to hold the insulating base sections tight against end insulator 20, the entire assembly being insulated from the metallic portions of pan 12 by suitable strips of insulating material to be described below. A neutral bar (not shown), provided with a plurality of neutral connectingterminals, may be supported on end insulator 20 by suitable means.
Three main buses are provided extending substantially the length of the pan 12 at 28, 30 and 32 and are positioned at one end in slots in end insulator 20 near the base portion thereof. Buses 28, 30 and 32 are mounted on suitable screws in shroud 22 and secured respectively with three nuts 34. Three conducting straps 36, 38 and 40 are secured to buses'28, 30 and 32, respectively, by the nuts (FIGS. 2 and 3) and extend downwardly from buses 28, 30 and 32, respectively, into the shroud 22. Conducting straps 36, 38 and 40 are formed to extend through openings 44, 46 and 48, respectively, (FIG. 2) through the shroud 22 and termi nate in pairs of metallic jaws 50, 52 and 54, respectively, which-are separated by suitable pairs of molded insulating strips 56 and 58 formed on the base of the shroud 22. Front and rear molded insulating strips 60 and 62, respectively, are also formed on the base of the shroud 22 and rectangular laminar paper and plastic insulating strips 63 and 64 (FIG. 4), respectively, are provided between pan 12 and end insulator 20, insulating base sections 24, the shroud 22 and buses 28, 30 and 32.
As is best shown in FIG. 3, the branch buses for the two outer main buses 28 and 32 are constituted by offset conducting straps 66 and 68, respectively. The terminal attachment bus for the central main bus 30 is constituted by a solid or formed conductor extending through a central hole.72 in each of the four insulating base sections 24. The branch buses 66 and 68 are individually attached to their respective main buses 28 and 32, respectively, by suitable screws as shown in FIG. 3 and the branch bus 70 for the central main bus 30 is provided with suitable side ribs cooperating with grooves in each insulating base section 24 to assure proper alignment therewith. The branch buses 66 and 68 are maintained in proper alignment through cooperation with respective portions of the branch units of the insulating base sections 24.
As shown in FIG. 3, the interior ends of buses 66 and 68 are reduced in width and extend beyond the centers of insulating base sections 24 to provide terminal areas accessible to circuit controlling units (See FIG. 1, for example) which may be supported at both sides of the mounting device as will be explained more fully hereinafter. The branch bus 70. has similar widths at both sides of the central panelboard to provide access for end-to-end mounting of circuit breakers.
Insulating base sections 24 are each provided with upwardly extending insulation barriers 74 separating the branch buses 66, 68 and 70 and defining the access areas for the circuit controlling units to be mounted in the circuit breaker mounting device.
A pair of mounting brackets, each generally designated 76, are suitably secured, for example, by welding,
' to the rear surface 78 of pan 12. Each bracket 76 is formed to define a bight portion 80, an inner leg portion 82, the free end portion of which is provided with a hook portion 84, and forwardly of the leg portion 82 an L-shaped portion 86 defining a mounting plate 88 having a threaded aperture 90 therethrough which is arranged toreceive a suitable mounting screw (not shown) to secure pan 12 to a mounting pan or interior wall in the switchboard enclosure. A rectangular aperture 92 is provided within bight portion 80 and is arranged to receive the tip of a screwdriver or other appropriate tool which may be inserted into a corresponding aperture in the-interior wall in the switchboard enclosure.
A single-pole circuit breaker or controlling unit 94 is shown in a mounted position in FIG. 1 for purposes of illustration. it will be readily appreciated from the discussion which follows that twoor three-pole devices also may be employed with a plug-on circuit breaker mounting device constructed in accordance with the instant invention. As is disclosed in the above Stanback et a]. patent, circuit controlling unit 94 has spring clips and terminals for mechanically and electrically connecting the unit into the mounting device. The unit has a pair of spring clip devices 96 and 98. Spring clip device 96 is insulated from the mechanism of the circuit controlling unit and the spring clip device 98 constitutes a current carrying terminal. Spring clip device 96 is constituted by a resilient, non-current carrying spring clip supported on insulation portions of the circuit controlling unit and secured between the cover and base of the unit during assembly thereof. Spring clip device 98 is constituted by a current carrying portion of the circpit controlling unit cooperating with the interior mechanism of the unit and may be a conducting jaw carrying at its inner portions a stationary contact which cooperates with the movable contact of the circuit controlling unit. Spring clip device 98 cooperates with portions of the insulating base of circuit controlling unit 94 and is supported in unit 94 and maintained in place by the insulating cover and base of unit 94 when unit 94 is assembled. it should be noted that the axes of spring clip devices 96 and 98 in each unit 94 are rotated 90 with respect to each other in order to facilitate the location and mounting of theelectricaland mechanical supporting parts for the circuit controlling units in the mounting device 10.
As shown in FIG. 1, the non-conductive spring jaws 96 of circuit controlling unit 94 are mechanically engaged and clamped over the rolled over mounting bead or bar 18 provided onpan l2 and, therefore, the current carrying spring clips electrically and mechanically engage an erid of the associated branch bus 66.
FIG. 5 shows portions of a service section switchboard 100 including an enclosure, generally designated 102, and having within enclosure 102 a main circuit breaker 104 supported on an interior mounting pan 106 and, extending from terminal straps on the base of main breaker 104, three parallel horizontal main electrical bus bars 108, 110 and 112 suitably supported within enclosure 102 on another mounting pan (not shown) and separated from each other by strips 114 of insulating material. The mouting pan 106 is provided with two series of ratchet slots 116 (only one series shown in FIG. 5) and, below each series of slots 116, an aperture (designated 118, but not shown in the drawings), which is positioned to be aligned with an aperture in the L-shaped portion 86 of a mounting bracket 76 when the jaws 50, 52, and 54 of a mounting device 10 have been firmly positioned in place respectively on bus bars 108, 110 and 112. A suitable aperture is provided in the mounting pan 106 adjacent each series of ratchet slots 116 and is arranged to receive a hook portion 84.
When it is desired to install a plug-on circuit breaker mounting device 10, the front covers (not shown) of the switchboard are removed, jaws 50, 52 and 54 of the circuit breaker mounting device are plugged onto bus bars 108, and 112, respectively, within enclosure 102, with the insulating strips 114 positioned in the recesses between pairs 56 and 58 of insulating strips on the shroud 22. 'A screwdriver or other tool may be inserted in either'ap'erture 92 through bight portions 80. The handle of the tool may then be moved toward bus bars 108, 110 and 112 to force the pairs of plug-on jaws thereon. Several prying steps may be used with the tip of the tool engaging successive ratchet slots in each series 116. When the circuit breaker mounting device 10 is in the proper position, a screw may be inserted through each aperture 90 and turned until the tip of screw 120 enters the appropriate aperture 118 in the interior panelboard 106 to maintain the mounting device 10 in mounted position, with the plug-on jaws 50, 52 and 54 properly engaged respectively with corresponding edge portions of the bus bars 108, 110 and 112. Hook portions 84 received in the apertures adjacent the series of ratchet slots 116 prevent the pulling of the circuit breaker mounting device 10 away from interior mounting pan 106 at the end portion of mounting device 10 adjacent brackets 76. The desired number of one-, twoand three-pole circuit controlling units may be inserted in place on the mounting beads 16 and 18 and appropriate branch buses 66, 68 and 70 (which are disposed parallel to the three-phase main bus bars 108, 110 and 112 when the mounting device 10 is installed) on the mounting device 10 after the mounting device 10 has been installed on the mounting pan 106 of the switchboard 100.
It will be apparent that the circuit controlling units may be mounted to either the right or left hand side of the circuit breaker mounting device 10 and have access to branch buses attached to either of the outer main buses 28 and 32 or to the central main bus 30 since a portion of each branch bus extends on both sides of the center of the insulating base sections. Thus, as many as 24 individual single-pole circuit controlling units may be accommodated by the described embodiment of the invention and correspondingly smaller numbers of twoand three-pole circuit controlling units may be received thereon.
In a typical installation employing a plug-on circuit breaker mounting device 10, constructed in accordance with the invention, a 240 volt A.C., 600-800 ampere main buses 108, 110 and 112 are provided in the switchboard enclosure and the mounting device furnishes 24 single-pole spaces suitable for mounting one-, twoor three-pole circuit breakers, rated from through 100 amperes.
While a particular embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
I claim:
1. An assembly comprising a switchboard having a plurality of flat bus bars aligned flatwise in a stack and spaced to receive plug-on jaws of relatively large circuit breakers and a plug-on mounting device for relatively small circuit breakers not suitable for plugging directly onto the bus bars of the switchboard, the plug-on mounting device comprising a plurality of main buses each having a smaller current capacity than each of said switchborad bus bars, each of the main buses having a plurality of branch buses and each of the branch buses receiving plug-on jaws ofa relatively small circuit breaker, a plurality of pairs of plug-on jaws on said mounting device spaced from each other in one direction correspondingly to the spacing of the bus bars of the switchboard and plugged thereon, and means electrically connecting the pairs of plug-0n jaws respectively to the main buses.
2. A plug-on mounting device as claimed in claim 1 including a shroud of insulating material for the pairs of plug-on jaws.

Common-Core Standards in Reading Not 'Flawed'
To the Editor:
Joanne Yatvin protests teaching children the skills and knowledge they need to become competent and joyful readers ("A Flawed Approach to Reading in the Common-Core Standards,", Commentary, Feb. 29, 2012). Worse, she underestimates the capability and interest of young children. I, too, was an elementary school principal and saw firsthand the interest children took in the world around them. Kindergarten children devoured nonfiction about dinosaurs. They requested over and over again the Magic School Bus books about their bodies.
While I agree that the Common Core State Standards demand more of children and that analytical skills must be developed thoughtfully, young children can grapple with such texts.
Additionally, Ms. Yatvin protests the statement that students should receive explicit and systematic instruction in the reading-foundation skills in order to develop automaticity. This was exactly what the National Reading Panel found, and the finding is well supported by research.
Furthermore, the statement she decries does not say that comprehension comes automatically. The quoted portion states that independent and automatic reading is important "to ensure" that the focus can be on comprehension. It is well supported that students who lack automaticity and fluent reading ability have a harder time focusing on meaning.
Finally, the argument against the vocabulary focus is particularly troubling. Tier 2 words (as studied by Isabel L. Beck at the University of Pittsburgh) are not just academic words, but also vocabulary common to much of children's literature. By addressing academic language early, we can attempt to overcome the socioeconomic and language discrepancies noted in Todd R. Risley and Betty Hart's book Meaningful Differences in Everyday Experience of Young American Children (1995).
Developing academic and important vocabulary knowledge is an equity issue. I cannot believe Ms. Yatvin doesn't want our English-learners and children with impoverished vocabulary to develop language on par with their more advantaged peers.

|Eclipse Setup
|Tue, 23 Feb 2010 21:44:40 GMT
Searching the archive, I found a couple of threads on setting up an Eclipse workspace for Roller, but none of them really seemed to answer the question. Of course, there's more than one way to do it, and the solution depends on your personal preferences. I tried to make things work with Eclipse WTP, m2eclipse and Tomcat. This was not quite trivial, so I thought I'd better take a few notes: http://hwellmann.blogspot.com/2010/02/setting-up-eclipse-for-roller.html I'd be happy if anyone could suggest an easier way...

So I'm having some issues with adding ArrayLists to my ArrayList. Think of this as a table.
Here's some example code:
ArrayList<String> currentRow = new ArrayList<String>();
while ((myLine = myBuffered.readLine()) != null) {
if(rowCount == 0) {// get Column names since it's the first row
String[] mySplits;
mySplits = myLine.split(","); //split the first row
for(int i = 0;i<mySplits.length;++i){ //add each element of the splits array to the myColumns ArrayList
else{ //rowCount is not zero, so this is data, not column names.
String[] mySplits = myLine.split(","); //split the line
for(int i = 0; i<mySplits.length;++i){
currentRow.add(mySplits[i]); //add each element to the row Arraylist
myTable.myRows.add(currentRow);//add the row arrayList to the myRows ArrayList
currentRow.clear(); //clear the row since it's already added
//the problem lies here *****************
rowCount++;//increment rowCount
The problem is when I don't call
currentRow.clear() to clear the contents of the ArrayList that I'm using in each iteration (to put into my ArrayList of ArrayList), with each iteration, I get that row PLUS every other row.
But when I do call
currentRow.clear() after I add
currentRow to my
arrayList<ArrayList<String>, it actually clears the data that I added to the master arrayList as well as the currentRow object.... and I just want the currentRow ArrayList empty but not the ArrayList that I just added to my ArrayList (Mytable.MyRows[currentRow]).
Can anyone explain what's going on here?

Lindsey Graham Calls Out Fellow Republican Candidates Over Climate Change Views
In an interview Sunday with CNN's "State of the Union," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) continued to distance himself from the growing field of GOP presidential candidates when it comes to climate change and environmental policy.
"If I'm president of the United States, we're going to address climate change, CO2 emissions in a business-friendly way," Graham said during the interview, noting that he does "believe that climate change is real."
The interview was taped Saturday in Boone, Iowa, where a number of GOP candidates gathered to attend a "Roast and Ride" event put on by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA). Declared GOP presidential candidates Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Carly Fiorina, and former Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), as well as potential candidate Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI), attended the event alongside Graham.
When it comes to the environment, however, Graham feels he has little in common with the other GOP nominees.
"Here's a question you need to ask everybody running as a Republican: What is the environmental policy of the Republican party?" he asked. "When I ask that question, I get a blank stare."
Though Graham's own record in shepherding environmentally-friendly policies through Congress is somewhat mixed, he is currently one of only two Republican presidential candidates who accepts the science behind man-made climate change. Candidates like Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have gone on record outwardly denying humanity's contribution to the problem, and candidates like Fiorina and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) have questioned the basic science behind climate change. Besides Graham, in the Republican presidential field, only former New York governor George Pataki has shown that he accepts the science behind climate change and wants to address the issue.
Within the scientific community, there is a 97 percent consensus that the climate is changing, and that human activity is the cause — scientists are about as sure man-man activity is creating climate change as they are that smoking cigarettes leads to lung cancer.
"When 90 percent of the doctors tell you you've got a problem, do you listen to the one?" Graham asked.
In a different interview on Sunday, GOP candidate and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum highlighted the scientific consensus around climate change as evidence against its existence.
"All of this certainty, which is what bothers me about the debate, the idea that science is settled," Santorum told Fox News Sunday. "Any time you hear a scientist say science is settled, that's political science, not real science."

Actually what you have is a very good stock pick that you have held onto. If you pull up a 10-year chart of the S&P 500 you will see two very large 50% drops in the last 10-years. This argues to keep some cash in reserve to buy more good stocks when the market "crashes." Or to make sure you do some asset allocation to keep 30% money markets, CDs and 2-year to 10-year notes. The S&P 500 is actually down over the last 10-years -- not a good way to preserve capital.Put TEF up on the same chart. You will see that TEF underperformed and then outperformed the S&P 500 until about 2006. Then TEF really took off and has outperformed the S&P 500.Reinvesting dividends gives 40-60% of the return that you can attribute to stocks. If you have reinvested the dividends, you would be buying some stock at low prices, some at high prices and some at average prices. But you would have a much bigger pot of TEF gold. Bear with me now and put S up on the 10-year chart. This shows that holding onto an individual stock can really waste away capital, so you need to be very careful. A friend of mine sat on S from $20+ to the recent ~$4. this is quite a hit to your capital and much more likely to happen to an individual stock than the market overall. So, check up on your long term investments and get out as the story changes to bad from good. I like TEF albeit at lower prices. With a market cap of $344 billion, it may slow down just due to its large size.

From the Author
Passion, drama and excitement fill the pages of my follow-up to THE HIGHEST STAKES. Set deep in the world of 18th century gaming, FORTUNE'S SON immerses the reader in a time and place where nothing is sacred and virtually anything might be wagered on the turn of a card, or a roll of the dice.
Beginning with their first chance meeting over a Hazard table, and with motives known only to themselves, FORTUNE'S SON chronicles the tumultuous romantic journey between a young but seasoned gamester and a widowed courtier, who refuses to be the next Royal Mistress regardless of the cost.
Experiencing the agonies and ecstasies of the gaming tables, Philip Drake and Lady Susannah Messingham precariously navigate their way in the high-stakes world of card sharps, courtesans, and the intriguers of Georgian England. As their tale of passion and drama plays out, they are led through hardship, heartbreak and loss before final culmination in redemption and enduring love.
With romance, a bit of adventure, and the excitement of gaming coupled with a supporting cast of the wits, gamesters, sporting men, and roués of Georgian England, I promise great fun and a riveting read!

first... yes i run off a child theme.
now.... i've been making some tweaks to my site, and through trial and error have gotten it close to acceptable. I am pretty novice when it comes to code, which is most likely why i'm running into the problem i am.
Anyway, I noticed that my menu bar seems to be aligned too far to the left... when you hover over the "Home" button, it highlights an area outside the body of my site. I'm not sure how that happened, or how to fix it. below is a link to my site and I hope someone can help me fix this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Why carry all those cards when a smartphone does the job?
We've all seen it. Invariably you notice someone with a keychain with more store loyalty cards on it than keys. Perhaps it's the wallet with more loyalty cards than cash. I know when I open my wallet a couple of these cards try to slide out.
In many instances, managing all of these cards can be a hassle. Even if it doesn't take much time to find the correct loyalty card for scanning at checkout, there is an inconvenience to managing all of the cards.
That's why I was pleased to finally take advantage of the mobile phone-based loyalty programs offered by a couple of my favorite restaurants. One is Starbucks Corp. and the other is Jersey Mike's Subs sandwich shop. Both are in the same strip mall I frequent. Each wants to offer enough incentives to entice customers to return, but each takes a slightly different approach.
Starbucks, the behemoth coffee chain that counts more than 17,000 global locations, has enough resources to build its own app that performs many functions. Consumers can use it to pay for their beverages, send electronic Starbucks gift cards, reload their Starbucks prepaid cards and monitor their rewards. My epiphany with this app happened when it updated my rewards program tally without me doing anything more than using the app to pay for my mocha. It was simple.
Jersey Mike's Subs, while a good-size chain with 500 locations, uses a different method to encourage repeat customers. Consumers at my local shop supply their mobile phone numbers to receive text messages with offers. While this scheme focuses on offers rather than rewards points, it has the same goal as the Starbucks smartphone app: get me to return and buy more products. Jersey Mike's Subs also has an e-mail-based program available through its corporate web site.
Both approaches have their place within retailing. The Starbucks smartphone app in some ways gives the consumer control over transactions typically made only at the cash register, such as purchasing electronic gift cards. Starbucks has the money and technical expertise to develop the app and keep it updated. Jersey Mike's Sub has a different business, relying on franchisees for growth, and a different approach. These small business owners want simple services that don't have a lot of cost associated with them. Text-based programs can serve them well.
I'm satisfied with the loyalty programs of both merchants. The best thing about them, in addition to the perks, is that I no longer have to twist my keychain or pick through my wallet to find a loyalty card to scan. My phone takes care of it for me.

(Aug. 15, 2014) -- The annual UTSA Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI) welcomed an all-time high of 450 teachers, both American and international, to the Main Campus last week.
Conducted by the Office of Extended Education, the fifth APSI included 19 workshops in science, math, and humanities, as well as field trips and informational sessions on the Top Scholars program and the Academy for Teacher Excellence.
AP teachers participate in this four-day program to complete 30 contact hours with the guidance of qualified College Board consultants holding doctorates or decades of experience in their subject field.
"The UTSA APSI is a great resource to prepare middle school and high school teachers to teach college-bound students," said Marty Gutierrez Saul, extended education coordinator. "Our program has grown to meet an increasing demand for AP institute workshops, thereby bringing a more diverse group of teachers to UTSA each year."
Frank Salazar, director of extended education, said, "The success of APSI at UTSA stems from great collaboration, coordination and concord among Extended Education personnel."
For more information about programs and workshops, visit the UTSA Office of Extended Education website.
