For students interested in this powerful, dual degree, Miami offers both a top Law School and an excellent Business School. How long it takes to earn both degrees depends on several factors (including whether the student takes summer law courses), but typically students will save about a year.
Credits & Schedule
The School of Law will accept the transfer of six credits from the MBA program. The J.D. degree requires 88 credits, but students in the joint program are permitted to count six credits earned from the School of Business Administration toward the J.D. degree. The M.B.A. degree requires 56 credits, but students in the joint program are permitted to count ten credits earned from the Law School toward the M.B.A. degree. Hence, students in the J.D./M.B.A. program earn both degrees simultaneously, with 16 fewer credits than if the degrees were completed independently.
Course Requirements
In addition to all other requirements for the J.D., students in the joint J.D./M.B.A. program must complete the following courses:
Business Associations (4 credits)
Commercial Law I (4 credits)

Cost and Financial Aid for the Joint Degree Programs
The costs associated with enrolling in a Joint Degree program will depend upon whether students are enrolled on a full-time basis in the School of Law during a particular semester. Students enrolled full-time at the School of Law (11-17 credits) will be charged for full-time Law School tuition. Students enrolled at the School of Law for fewer than 11 credits will be charged a per credit rate for their law credits. Students will pay the School of Business Administration tuition rate for their MBA credits.
A full schedule of tuition and fees for each department is available at www.miami.edu/osas. Students should consult with both the Office of Financial Aid and the Dean of Students to coordinate their course selection in light of the cost of enrolling in a Joint Degree program.
Students requiring financial aid should request information from the Office of Financial Aid at the School of Law. It is strongly recommended that applicants seek counseling from a financial aid advisor in order to determine the feasibility of obtaining adequate student loans to cover tuition costs for both degrees -- the J.D. and M.B.A. -- as well as additional funds required for living and incidental expenses. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information.
Students in the joint degree programs may be eligible for the Federal Work-Study Program or scholarships offered through the School of Law. However, please note that scholarships are only available for law credits; therefore if one's law credits are less than full-time, the scholarship will be prorated. In all cases, financial aid deadlines must be observed.
For additional information concerning financial aid application procedures, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hear From a Student: Why a J.D./M.B.A.?
Students who apply for the joint J.D./M.B.A. program must apply to both the School of Law and the School of Business Administration. The applicant must achieve a qualifying score on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) for admission to the respective schools. The applicant must notify both schools that he or she is applying for the joint J.D./M.B.A. program, and in order to remain in the joint program, the student must meet minimum standards of both the School of Law and the School of Business Administration. Students must complete one year of law studies before commencing their business studies.

Love the picture! My question is... what is the update on the thyroid and are you/can you run anymore? Also, if Alabama goes to the National Championship in Pasadena, we are going, how far away are you? and would you want to meet up? :) Oh... do you have a favorite pair of shoes? What does Hubs do? Oh my.. I have a lot of questions. Sorry. I am nosey.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic. So glad he took it for you. Glad you are getting to feeling better.
My question isn't very fun...but I need help putting together an outfit to wear to court for the divorce...What would you suggest? Please take into consideration I have very little curves and cannot afford a suit and don't like to wear pantyhose. Hmmm...narrows it down a lot huh. LOLWhat an absolutely precious picture, Molly! Too adorable! My question is this... How do you stay adorable and skinny after having a baby? I know that may seem silly but you still look 21 and freaking skinny! I'm SO freaked out to have kids because I'm terrified of losing my body. Of course that is a loooong way off though. Haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet picture! My hubs did the same thing to me last week when Caden and I fell asleep on the couch except I wish I had a blanket covering me. My butt was hanging out of my shorts and there was an over abundance of cleavage! Typical that he chose to take a picture.
What are the top few things you can't live with out on the daily basis?

We spend a lot of time criticizing the TSA in our own country, but what about airport security outside of the U.S.?
We depend on other nations to keep us safe, but sometimes their airport officers can be maddeningly strict—or frighteningly lax.On the one hand, I don't want to criticize TOO much—we depend just as much on airport security abroad as at home to keep us safe. On the other hand, it's worth calling out when things go too far (or not far enough).
This question came up in our office recently in response to an event at Heathrow Airport in which a woman was forced to get rid of the breast milk she was carrying before she was allowed through the security checkpoint. According to her blog, the Heathrow Airport specifies that you may carry baby milk if you "carry only what you need for the flight." When I checked the Heathrow Airport website, I found this statement:
If you are travelling with an infant, these items can exceed 100ml and do not have to fit into the resealable bag. However, the amount must be sufficient for your trip only and you may be asked to open the containers and taste the contents.
Since this woman was not traveling with an infant, whether or not the officers were in the right becomes a little more murky. Still, was it worth it to hassle a mother trying to transport food back to her child? It seems like determining whether or not the contents of the packages were breast milk should have been fairly simple.
I've certainly had my share of frustration with airport security. I'll never forget the time I was denied boarding to a flight because I showed up—literally—thirty seconds too late. My traveling companion was just ahead of me and I saw him enter the plane just as I was turned away. I was furious, but no amount of complaining would convince the gatekeeper to change her mind.
Then again, I've also been in airports where I was waived through security without so much as a second glance. It was fast and easy, but it didn't make feel particularly safe as I boarded that plane.
All of this has me wondering—what's the most outrageous experience you've had with airport security OUTSIDE of the U.S.?
Should TSA Pat-Downs Be Outlawed?

Hola Barcelona
About this blog
So.. back in January.. I had the post Christmas Blues bad. Real bad. It was cold (For those of you who have forgotten, it was the coldest winter since the Great freeze of 78AD) and it was still getting dark at 5pm. I wanted to go somewhere hot, where people didn't need to leave the house in 6 different layers of clothing and a hat.. so booked Barcelona. A city I had never been to before, a country I had never been to before and the only 2 things I knew about the city were the football club and the Queen song from the Olympics:S This is the log of my visit to the city!

Here are a few of the R packages I've developed on my own, and as part of the rOpenSci, rOpenGov, and cloudyr open source projects. My CV lists all of my software projects and you can find source code for all projects on GitHub. The projects below are a few of the more prominent examples.
cloudyr The cloudyr project is an effort to connect R to cloud computing applications, starting with Amazon Web Services and continuous integration services for R package development. See the cloudyr website or GitHub page for more details.
Dataverse packages: dataverse (version >= 4.0) and dvn (version < 4.0)
These R packages provide access to The Dataverse Network APIs. dataverse is the current generation package, providing access to the complete functionality of current Dataverse installations. It is part of the rOpenSci project and is officially supported by Harvard-IQSS, the developers of Dataverse. dvn is a legacy package supporting earlier Dataverse installations.
dataverse: GitHub
dvn: CRAN GitHub
ghit: Lightweight GitHub Package Installer ghit is a lightweight, vectorized drop-in replacement for devtools::install_github()
that uses native git and R methods to clone and install a package from GitHub. It provides a lighter weight alternative to devtools with a very similar API, slightly different defaults, and completely rebuilt internals.
CRAN GitHub
imguR: Imgur API Client Package for R
imguR is an R package, initated by Aaron Statham, that binds the imguR API to R, thus enabling the uploading and management of images on imguR. It might be particularly useful for web-based R projects and knitr documents written in R markdown.
CRAN, GitHub
margins: An R port of Stata's margins command
margins is a an R port of Stata's margins
command. It can be used to calculate (average) marginal effects and their variances from regression models. It is especially helpful for models with power terms, non-linear transformations, and interaction terms, and for generalized linear models.
MTurkR: R Client for the MTurk Requester API
MTurkR is a client library providing access to the Amazon Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing platform through R.
CRAN GitHub Graphical User Interface Wiki
rio: A Swiss-army knife for data I/O
The aim of rio is to make data file I/O in R as easy as possible by implementing data import and export for R that relies on file extensions to make a (reasonable) assumption about how to read a file into a data.frame or, conversely, save a data.frame to disk. It greatly simplifies data import and export and offers a function for easily converting between file formats (possibly from the command line).
CRAN, GitHub
rite: The Right Editor to Write R
A simple, powerful, multi-platform script editor for R, built with tcl/tk, rite provides features typically found in standalone editors and IDEs (e.g., syntax highlighting, command completion, shortcut keys, find and go-to-line commands, one-click access to documentation, etc.) and a helpful color-coded output "sink". It also creates an easy workflow for reproducible research through integration with the knitr package.
CRAN, GitHub
slopegraph: Edward Tufte-inspired Slopegraphs in R
A simple, one-function R package to produce Edward Tufte-inspired slopegraph plots.
sparktex: Generate LaTeX sparklines in R
sparktex is an R companion to the LaTeX sparklines package (by Andreas Loeffler and Dan Luecking), which produces Edward Tufte-inspired sparklines and sparkspikes (in-text histograms) natively in LaTeX.
CRAN, GitHub
tabulizer: Bindings for Tabula PDF Table Extractor Library
tabulizer provides R bindings to the Tabula java library, which extracts tables from PDF documents using a small set of really powerful and accurate algorithms. tabulizer provides a thin client around Tabula, and provides a handy interactive mode to identifying tables in PDFs directly within an R graphics window.
UNF: Tools for Creating Universal Numeric Fingerprints for Data
UNF is an R package for generating variable- and dataset-level universal numeric fingerprint signatures to uniquely identify data. UNF signatures provide a way to uniquely and persistently identify (a version of) a dataset. The UNF algorithm was created by Micah Altman and was updated to version 5 of the UNF algorithm in the current package, which I maintain. The UNF package also provides UNF-based functions to identify discrepancies between dataframes and works well with the dvn package, listed above, for comparing Dataverse-stored datasets against local copies.

This past Sunday we got to see two new images from Rihanna's Spring/Summer 2012 ad campaign for Armani Jeans and today, right on cue, we get to check out a couple of new photos from her S/S '12 ad campaign for Emporio Armani Women's Underwear. As you may know, Ri Ri is the new celebrity spokesmodel for Emporio Armani so these new Spring/Summer images will be the ones we'll be seeing in magazines and on billboards in the coming months. Click below to check out the newest photos of Rihanna in Armani's finest skivvies.
Her lingerie advertising campaign for Armani was voted the sexiest set of 2011 so it's no surprise to see her back showing off the latest line. Rihanna is taking her second stab at being the brand's face and body and is looking as seductive as ever. The singer showed off a cropped blonde look in her first campaign but she has gone dark for the new adverts. The 23-year-old is seen showing off her incredible shape in a lacy set of lingerie as she poses on a bed with her hand tucked behind her head. In another shot Rihanna appears to be displaying her innocence as she tousles with her hair posing in a satin negligee and knickers set … While these shots appear to be a little toned down compared with the sexed up shots of the first shoot there is no doubt that these will prove popular with Rihanna's fans. The daring display was hailed the best of the year in a poll of advertising industry chiefs carried out by U.S. magazine Advertising Age.
I am still really loving Rihanna's look in these new photos. When I posted the earlier Armani Jeans photos on Sunday, a reader commented that Rihanna looks very much like she used to back in her S.O.S. days … and I totally agree. THIS is a fantastic look for her. She looks sexy without trying too hard. I hated the short blonde wig thing she wore in the Armani photos that were release last year. This darker color works well for her. These photos are fantastic … I approve … do you?

big fan of martin simpson and eton tweeters. try out "when I was on horseback" or "cool and unusual" great simpson cd's.
Daedalus Audio Ulysses
All Daedalus speakers are hand-built using solid North American hardwoods and boast hand-rubbed oli-varnish finishes.
Designer Lou Hinkley is a guitarist who may be better known for his acoustic guitar amps. His work in that arena led him to hi-fi. He told me a funny story: He began showing his loudspeakers at hi-fi shows, and showgoers would offer him demo discs with tracks by bands like String Cheese Incident and Rusted Root, which are bands that have used his guitar amps for years. While these showgoers had never heard of Daedulus Audio, they had actually been listening to Hinkley's work all along!
When I asked Hinkley if he had any acoustic guitar music, he quickly introduced me to the work of Martin Simpson, an accomplished guitarist who actually assisted Hinkley in the voicing of the first Daedalus Audio loudspeaker, 16 years ago.

How to choose the most suitable cooking school?
So you have deicded to pursue a culinary career. Now how do you select from over 10,000 culinary, restaurant, and hospitality programs? Do you want to get trained in swiss hospitality at Alps or are you looking for southwestern cooking in Arizona?
It is a personal choice, go for what is most suitable for you than what has the best name. Factor in things like a) your career goal 2)your location choice 3)budget and scholarship 4)accreditation and recognition.
First, ask yourself some fundamental questions. Why do you want to go to culinary school? Is it to become a chef, hotel manager, pastry artist? Do you want to specialize in a particular style of cooking or region? Where do you want to work? Resorts, restaurants, bakeries, catering? And, finally, what kind of degree do you want? A certificate or diploma can take from one month to two years. An associate degree takes from nine months to two years, and a bachelor's degree takes four years. Fourteen-week culinary programs and three-week tours to epicurean centers such as France and Italy are at the other end of the scale.
Another aspect to choosing a school is to examine the reputation of the program and the resumes of the chefs teaching there. Look for the prizes and awards the school has won. Where are current graduates working? Many programs proudly list their placement rates and well-known employers of their students. Is the faculty respected in the culinary world?
Location also can be a significant factor in your choice. By attending programs in large cities, you will have more choices for externships, and when you finish the program, more job possibilities. Externships in leading restaurants and hotels are a big part of high-quality culinary programs.
If you want to learn seafood cooking, for instance, it makes sense to go where there are many seafood restaurants. Culinary schools often have student-run restaurants on campus, but there's nothing like working in a busy restaurant kitchen to gain the knowledge you need to start a culinary career at a higher level.
Accreditation is also important, as the school's facilities, faculty, and curriculum have been investigated and found to meet standards. There are several accrediting organizations, reviewed and evaluated periodically by the U.S. Department of Education, such as the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as well as the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology and the American Culinary Federation Accrediting Commission.

The Impact of Schooling on The Timing of Marriage and Fertility: Evidence from A Change in Compulsory Schooling Law
This paper estimates the impact of schooling on the timing of marriage and early fertility using the 2003 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey and duration analysis methodology. The source of exogenous variation in schooling is the extension of compulsory schooling in Turkey in 1997. The findings indicate that at age 17 — three years after the completion of compulsory schooling — the proportion of women who are married drops from 15.2 to 10 percent and the proportion of women who have given birth falls from 6.2 to 3.5 percent as a result of the new policy. This implies that the impact of increased schooling on marriage and early fertility persists beyond the completion of compulsory schooling for an important duration. In addition, the delay in the timing of first-birth is driven from the delay in the timing of marriage. After a woman is married, schooling does not have an effect on the duration until her first-birth.

Tax Break Nears End For Online Shoppers
Republican Governors, in Need of Revenue, Drop Opposition
Republican governors, eager for new revenue to ease budget strains, are dropping their longtime opposition to imposing sales taxes on online purchases, a significant political shift that could soon bring an end to tax-free sales on the Internet.
Conservative governors, joining their Democratic counterparts, have been making deals with online retail giant Amazon.com to collect state sales taxes. The movement picked up an important ally when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie—widely mentioned as a potential vice-presidential...

An apparent homicide Wednesday of a South Toledo man was suicide, authorities said.
Kevin L. Johnson, 25, of 1406 South Ave., died of a single gunshot wound to the head consistent with suicide, said Dr. Diane Barnett, Lucas County deputy coroner, after an autopsy.
Mr. Johnson, whose birthday was Monday, left a birthday party about 12:15 a.m. at the apartment he shares with his girlfriend, Marcella Frazier, with two men she told police she didn't know, police said.
Mr. Johnson sat down on a stairway with the two, who were friends, smoking a cigarette and drinking beer, Dr. Barnett said.
"Then out of the clear blue sky, he pulls a gun out of his pocket in front of his two buddies," Dr. Barnett said.
Ms. Frazier reported hearing a "pop" sound, then discovered Mr. Johnson lying dead with a gunshot wound to the head on the landing of their second floor apartment.
The two acquaintances fled, police said.
Dr. Barnett said Mr. Johnson's wounds were in keeping with a self-inflicted gunshot.

Think of your skin as a brick wall. There are skin cells (the bricks) and lipids (the mortar). Lipids are the natural fats between your cells that help to conserve moisture and keep skin hydrated and smooth. Unfortunately, these lipids can break down due to harsh cleansers or environmental aggressors. When this happens, skin becomes dehydrated and rough. But don't start smearing lard on your face just yet. You can replace lost lipids and renew your skin's ability to bind moisture with Bioelements Recovery Serum. It's supercharged with skin-repairing lipids to restore your skin's moisture barrier, while it repairs damage from over exfoliation or aging.
What is a serum?
Serums are formulations that deliver a high dosage of complexion repairing or rejuvenating ingredients into the skin. Normally, serums are applied underneath moisturizers. Recovery Serum is special. This silky emollient serum has skin-repairing ceramides, lipids and aromatherapist oils designed to repair damaged, over-exfoliated or aging skin. In addition, this product is also meant to 'seal in' moisture, so it's applied on top of your moisturizer and underneath your makeup. What you'll notice is that your skin will have a smooth-as-glass finish and your makeup will last longer!

In this video you will see leaks on next expansion including Elona, Crystal Desert, new elite specs & mounts. Made by Gaming with GS
Guild Wars 2 is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by ArenaNet and published by NCSOFT. Set in the fantasy world of Tyria, the game follows the re-emergence of Destiny's Edge, a disbanded guild dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons, a Lovecraftian species that has seized control of Tyria in the time since the original Guild Wars.
The game takes place in a persistent world with a story that progresses in instanced environments.
Guild Wars 2 claims to be unique in the genre by featuring a storyline that is responsive to player actions,something which is common in single player role-playing games but rarely seen in multiplayer ones.A dynamic event system replaces traditional questing,utilising the ripple effect to allow players to approach quests in different ways as part of a persistent world.Also of note is the combat system, which aims to be more dynamic than its predecessor by promoting synergy between professions and using the environment as a weapon,as well as reducing the complexity of the Magic-style skill system of the original game.As a sequel to Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2 features the same lack of subscription fees that distinguished its predecessor from other commercially developed online games of the time, though until August 2015 a purchase was still required to install the game. As reported by NCsoft and ArenaNet, by September 13 (about 2 weeks after launch), despite temporarily halting first-party sales, the game has sold over 2 million copies.By August 2013, the peak player concurrency had reached 460,000.By August 2015, over 5 million copies had been sold, at which point the base game became free-to-play.

Hugging is a funny thing. In my experience, either you're a hugger or you're not. I'm not one. However, there are times when a hug is needed, even for an anti-hugger like me. There are times when it just feels good to have that physical connection with someone who wants to support you. The problem is, when and where is this appropriate? Hugging can be an issue between patients and doctors, because of the inequity of the relationship between the two.
The Loyola University Health System in Illinois addresses this issue in a piece called Is It Ever OK to Hug Your Doctor? because it affects both sides of the equation. A doctor may feel that a patient can use a hug just as much as a patient may wish to have one. Some people may argue with our high-tech world, a hug may be even more appropriate now, to maintain that human connection between the person who needs help and the one who is providing it. Interestingly, I have seen many nurses hug patients - I have hugged patients. Most often, they were patients who were struggling through a very tough time and they just needed that contact. Sometimes, the hug was for a relative who was absorbing some bad news or who had just lost a loved one. Other times, they were hugs of thanks as people were leaving the facility. Truth be told, I don't know if we ever discussed the appropriateness of hugging. Of course, some nurses never hugged because they just weren't comfortable with it, but even I, the non-hugger, have hugged a patient or relative in need.
The Loyola article lists ways that doctors who are unsure can make physical contact in another way, that can be just as supportive, such as touching an elbow or forearm. Other body language, such as leaning in towards the patient while talking, is also showing that the doctor is interested and making a connection. In my mind, there is nothing wrong with asking, if you're not sure. There was a doctor who had done a lot for me and really helped me heal. As we were reaching the end of our treatment, I asked for a hug. He knew I didn't usually, but when I asked for one, I got it. And it helped me a lot, I remember.
What do you think? Is hugging appropriate?

Athletic, looking for their first major trophy since 1984, took a 54th-minute lead through Jon Aurtenetxe but Sporting drew level through Emiliano Insua before the impressive Diego Capel – a Spain international – drilled home the match-winner 10 minutes from time to down his countrymen.
The Portuguese outfit pushed hard for a third goal late on but Athletic managed to keep them out to leave the tie firmly in the balance ahead of next week's second leg in the Basque country.
Both sides looked keen to attack throughout the first half, but neither goalkeeper was seriously troubled as the period finished goalless.
Sporting settled the quicker and Emiliano Insua drew an early save out of Athletic custodian Gorka Iraizoz before Ricky van Wolfswinkel fired just wide.
Athletic's first decent opportunity arrived in the 12th minute, and really should have resulted in the opening goal of the game but the unmarked Fernando Llorente, usually so deadly in the air, powered his header from Markel Susaeta's corner a foot over the crossbar.
Susaeta and Ander Herrera saw long-range efforts go wide and saved by Rui Patricio, respectively, as Athletic sought a valuable away goal, but Sporting were looking dangerous on the break and twice came close following lightning-fast counter-attacks.
The first saw Joao Pereira drive in a rising shot from the edge of the box which appeared to strike the outside of the post, although Iraizoz looked to have it covered.
Then, moments after Van Wolfswinkel had seen a 20-yard effort go just wide, Sporting broke away again but Stijn Schaars, after being set up by Capel, fluffed his lines
Sporting also threatened first at the start of the second half but, after Insua had seen his cross-shot parried by Iraizoz, it was Athletic who took the lead.
Susaeta curled in a free-kick from the right and after Insua had failed to cut the ball out – slicing his attempted clearance behind him instead of away from danger – defender Aurtenetxe slotted in at the far post.
That was a huge blow for Sporting, but it could have got even worse five minutes later as Athletic hit the woodwork, Fernando Amorebieta latching onto a loose ball inside the area to drive in a shot that struck the inside of the post before staying out.
Susaeta then saw a looping header land on the roof of the net with Rui Patricio struggling as the visitors went in search of a potentially decisive second goal.
At that stage it looked like Athletic would be left holding all the aces for their return to San Mames, but with their final dreams slipping away, Sporting staged a superb fightback.
Van Wolfswinkel spurned a great chance to equalise in the 69th minute when he glanced a header wide from close range, but within six minutes of that miss the home side were on level terms.
Insua was the quickest to react to a bouncing ball in the Athletic area to guide a header just inside the far post.
Buoyed by that goal, Sporting started to lay siege to the Athletic defence and it was 2-1 four minutes later when Capel drilled in a low 25-yard shot that fizzed into the near corner.
Substitute Bruno Pereirinha, having replaced Capel, should have made it 3-1 in the 84th minute but curled just wide from the near the penalty spot as Athletic survived a late onslaught to limit the damage.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Abbile Early OriginsThe surname Abbile was first found in the counties of Kent, Derbyshire and Essex. "Abell was also an Essex family, although branches spread into the counties of Kent and Derby." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Burke, John Bernard, The Roll of Battle Abbey. London: Edward Churton, 26, Holles Street, 1848, Print. Abbile Spelling VariationsAbbile Spelling VariationsNorman surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Abell, Abel, Able, Habel, Abeel, Abelson, Abelle, Abele, Ablson, Ebelson, Abill, Abilson, Aball, Abeal, Eblson and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationMany English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlanti c. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Abbile or a variant listed above: Robert Abel who came in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630 and landed at Weymouth. Robert his son joined the expedition of Sir William Phipps to Quebec in 1690.. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Lists of listings
I know the above headline sounds redundant. Just check out the number of 2007 year-end real estate listings in a variety of mountain towns as reported by the Rocky Mountain Resort Alliance.
Neighboring Grand County had far and away the most listings at the end of 2007, with 4,176. Of those, 1,784 were single-family homes. The average sales price was $497,500, compared to Steamboat's average sales price of $803,000.
Other year-end listings totals included: Aspen, 1,041; Whistler, B.C., 599; Park City, Utah, 2,902; Summit County, 3,240; Sun Valley, Idaho, 1,611; Telluride, 629; Teton County, Wyo., 409; and Vail, 1,782.
Understanding mortgage rates
The Federal Reserve slashed the Fed Funds rate by three-quarters of a point to 2.25 percent last week. But don't expect mortgage rates to go down as a result.
"This action is likely to drive up mortgage interest rates," said Gibran Nicholas, chairman of the CMPS Institute, an organization that certifies mortgage bankers and brokers.
When the Fed lowers interest rates, they encourage more borrowing and spending in the economy. This has the potential to artificially drive up asset prices and cause money to lose its purchasing power, Nicholas said. This phenomenon is known as inflation and scares bond market investors.
"Fixed mortgage rates are tied to the mortgage-backed bonds that trade on the bond market," Nicholas said. "Inflation erodes the value of bonds by reducing the purchasing power of the income stream associated with the bonds. This causes bond investors to sell out, which drives up bond yields and mortgage interest rates."
The good news, however, is that the bond market has already priced in an inflation premium as mortgage rates have ticked higher in recent weeks. "Mortgage rates started their upward climb in January after reaching a two-year low point, and they are unlikely to go much higher from their current levels," Nicholas said. "Of course, if inflation fears persist, the markets will react accordingly."

Minnesota Wild's defense to blame in Game 2 loss

- Comments Off on Minnesota Wild's defense to blame in Game 2 loss
It may not be a series until each team plays at home. But it's not going to be much of a series anyway if the Wild don't start defending better.
A Wild team that was so structurally sound, so good defensively for so much of this season has been so bad in the first two games of this series. Because of that, they trail the series 2-0 as they head back to St. Paul for Game 3.
Saturday was the more eye-opening game because of the way Colorado's top line made the Wild look. Nathan MacKinnon, Paul Stastny and Gabriel Landeskog were a threat every time they were on the ice. They scored all four goals in Colorado's 4-2 win over the Wild.
MacKinnon, 18, was the best player on the ice. He skated around the ice at will and the Wild seemed hard-pressed to get in his way. Friday, coach Mike Yeo said the Wild played with too much respect for the Avs' forwards in Game 1. That didn't get any better in Game 2.
The Avs — namely their top trio — flew through the neutral zone and scored off the rush.
Before the series started, one of the biggest reasons for optimism regarding the Wild was that Minnesota plays a puck possession game and the Avs don't. The feeling from many — including myself — was that if the Wild cycled well, they could dominate the puck possession game and bottle up the Avs' high-powered offense.
But I underestimated how good the Avs are off the rush. Here's how my colleague and our columnist Tom Powers described it in his column (which you can read here):
"These Avalanche are like a well-shaken container of beer. They're bottled up and bottled up and bottled up, then the top pops off and – whoosh! – they're fizzing all over the place.
At one point in the second period, the Wild had them penned in their zone for almost a full minute. They were grinding along the wall, harassing their defensemen and pinching at the points. Then it was as if the lid blew off and a bunch of Avs escaped and went racing in the opposite direction. In about a second and a half the puck was behind Bryzgalov.
"That's been very much the same in a lot of the games we've played against them this year," Mike Yeo said. "We're playing very well, we've got them sort of hemmed in and then there's one mistake and it goes the other way."
The Wild's defensemen, though, deserve lots of blame for the way the Avs were able to skate around them.
Jared Spurgeon, usually one of the Wild's best defensemen, was turned into a cone twice by MacKinnon. Spurgeon's inability to stand upright as MacKinnon cruised by him on the Avs' first goal will be seen on the highlight reels the rest of the playoffs.
"I'm not going to sit here and dissect him too much because this is a guy who's bounced back continually," Yeo said of Spurgeon. "If he wasn't at his best, I'm confident that he will be next game. That's the kind of character he has, that's the kind of player he is. This is not a matter of one guy. We put our defensemen in some tough positions because of the way we played in front of them at certain times in the game. So this is about our team."
The Wild couldn't get enough going offensively. Looking for a spark in the third period, Yeo switched up the lines. The new lines were:
In net, the Wild will likely go with Darcy Kuemper for Game 3. Here's my story on that situation. But here's the most important number: In his last four starts, Ilya Bryzgalov has allowed 16 goals and was pulled in two of those four starts.
I'll have plenty more from practice tomorrow. Until then, here's my story from Colorado's 4-2 win over the Wild.

The most common type of aggressive behavior is play aggression, which is normal for all young mammals. For cats, play aggression includes stalking, pouncing, and mock fighting. A young cat may hide in a corner and then stalk, chase and pounce on an object or person! Kittens normally play with each other, with their mother and with a variety of moving objects. If none of these are available, they will treat human arms and legs as playthings.
It's important to teach kittens an acceptable way to play right from the beginning. If possible, take home two kittens so they can fulfill their need to play with each other. If this is not feasible, then direct the kitten to "fun" toys such as long strings with toys or feathers attached (don't let your kitten swallow it!) or ping-pong balls. This will help minimize those secret ambushes, and prevent you from becoming, in effect, a big squeaky toy. Always keep these toys, especially the ones with strings, away from your cat when you are not around to supervise. Many people misinterpret play as a sign of serious aggression. Playful cats "attack" silently and do not typically break the skin when they bite. Seriously aggressive and potentially dangerous cats often hiss or growl and bite more severely. Using a water spray bottle to keep the cat at bay is sometimes a helpful temporary measure. Hitting a cat is not recommended since it often causes a defensive reaction, may lead to aggression, and is inhumane.
Inter-Cat Aggression
Inter-cat aggression is the second most common reason owners bring their cats to Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic. Cats may not co-habitate well for a variety of reasons, including incompatible temperaments, territorial competitions or as a consequence of overcrowding. Cats that have gotten along well for a long period of time may experience an abrupt falling out following a separation such as when one cat is returned home after a visit to the veterinarian's office for treatment (non-recognition aggression) or when both cats are startled by an external stimulus and one cat attacks the other as a result of its agitation when, for instance, it views an intruding outdoor cat through the sliding glass door (redirected aggression).
Most of these situations require a gradual reintroduction paired with positive experiences to reunite the feuding felines. How long this process will take depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the meltdown and the duration of the duress. Medication may facilitate your behavior modification efforts, but there are no magic pills and some management changes and training efforts will be required on your part.
Destructive Scratching
This behavior is a common cause of frustration for cat owners. Cat scratching is a normal feline behavior that serves to mark and claim territory. It also helps cats to stretch their muscles and tendons and to remove the husks of old nails.
Some veterinarians feel that declawing is a safe procedure to remedy this complaint, while others feel it is inhumane and painful. The process involves removal of the last digit as well as the claw. Alternatives to declaw surgery are often effective and include: scratching posts, deterrents (both physical and chemical), environmental measures such as reducing stress and territorial squabbles, nail covers and nail trimming.
Scratching posts should be at least three feet tall (to allow the cat to fully stretch), kept in prominent locations near where the scratching behavior occurs, covered with rough fabric such as burlap, and stable enough that the cat cannot knock them over. Deterrent agents include mothball aerosol spray, Boundary pet deterrent spray, or plastic sheeting to cover valuable objects. Smaller objects such as table legs can be covered with double sided tape, and larger objects can be covered with contact paper (sticky side up). Many cat owners have success with nail covers (Soft Paws), plastic caps which are glued on, or with frequent nail trims to reduce damage caused by scratching. Destructive scratching is a behavior problem which can often be easily managed.
Environmental Enrichment and Social Interaction
Many people adopt cats because they believe they are less labor intensive in terms of care requirements than dogs. While in most cases this is true, it does not mean that they don't have physical and social needs! To avoid behavior problems, be sure to enrich your indoor cat's environment. Daily exercise periods can do wonders to burn off your cat's excess steam and prevent the development of unwanted behaviors. Five to 10 minutes once or twice per day may be all that's needed depending upon your cat's energy level and desire to interact. An unoccupied cat will find its own means of entertainment and rest assured it won't be your first choice for occupational therapy! Provide an appropriate release for your cat's predatory tendencies by playing games with a feather wand, laser light or other such object that your cat can "hunt."
Believe it or not, many cats respond well to training, especially when the click and treat method of training is used. You can teach your cat simple tricks such as "sit," "come," "high 5" and jumping on stools on command to complex tricks such as turning off lights and navigating an agility course.
Engaging your cat in interactive aerobic play and training sessions will go a long way to solidifying your relationship and making for a behaviorally healthy feline friend. Cat videos, bird feeders within view, cat grasses, rotated toys, vertical perches and a myriad of other cat entertainment devices can be found at your local pet store or in pet catalogues. Your cat needs a break from excessive solitary snooze time and rotating toys and entertainment devices on a daily basis can keep your cat interested and independently occupied when you're away from home
Inappropriate Urination
This is the most common feline behavior problem presented to Tufts Animal Behavior Clinic. A full medical examination is always necessary to help determine the cause of this behavior. If a clean bill of health is confirmed, you may wish to consult a professional animal behaviorist to help you identify the cause of your cat's change in elimination habits and develop a treatment plan to retrain your cat to the litterbox. Inappropriate elimination typically falls into two motivational categories: 1) litterbox aversion or substrate preference or 2) territorial urine marking.
Housesoiling or a lapse in litterbox usage can be caused by a urinary tract infection, urethral or bladder stones or crystals. Conditions that increase water consumption lead to increased frequency of urination so that the cat may not be able to find a convenient litter box in time. Older cats with arthritis problems may find it difficult to step into the litter box. In these cases, treating the underlying medical condition frequently resolves inappropriate urination.
When medical conditions aren't the cause of a lapse in litterbox training, we begin to look for behavioral explanations. Some cats may become averse to their litter box when something about the box becomes disagreeable. Typical causes include a dirty litter box, a preference for a certain kind of litter or a litterbox that is placed in an inconvenient or noisy area of the home. In multiple cat households, an insufficient number of litter boxes may trigger a cat to find a more suitable location of cleaner substrate for elimination. No one likes to stand in line for a public restroom only to find a filthy toilet! A good rule of thumb is to have one more box than the number of cats in your household. Making the litterbox very attractive and the inappropriately soiled areas unattractive will help to lure your cat back to her litterbox.
Territorial marking is generally but not always directed onto a vertical surface and you may observe your cat twitching his/her erect tail while spraying a small amount of urine. Most frequently, spraying is associated with un-neutered male cats who tend to spray during mating season. Neutered male or female cats may spray as a result of anxiety. If the cat is not spayed or neutered and physical examination findings are normal, neutering or spaying usually resolves the problem of spraying. If the cat is already neutered, identifying and if possible, removing the stressful stimulus is important. This may involve deterring wandering cats from entering your property or addressing social conflict amongst your own indoor cats.
For both house soiling and territorial marking, it is important to remove the odor from the soiled area with an appropriate enzymatic cleanser. If the plush carpet in the quiet corner of your living room smells like a latrine, how is your cat supposed to know it's unacceptable to you? If your cat is leaving "pee-mails" to mark his territory, you can bet your bottom dollar that he'll be upgrading his posts on a regular basis as soon as his odoriferous message begins to wane!
Introducing New Cats Into Your Household
Upon bringing your new cat home, immediately put her into a private room where she will begin to settle in for her first week. Your resident cat should not be allowed to enter this room or to stay at the door growling and hissing. After one week has passed, allow your resident cat to explore the door of the room where your new cat is residing. After all signs of aggression (hissing, growling) have subsided, open the door a crack. Use a doorstop or hook to secure the door. Again wait for the hissing and growling to disappear.
If you have a large carrier or crate, place your new cat in it. Bring the cat into your main living area. Try to feed both cats treats or food at the same time so they associate each other with pleasurable experiences. When the cats are comfortable in this situation, let them interact through the barrier. If there are any signs of aggression, you may want to start out with introductions for only short periods of time (five to ten minutes) or go back to the separation phase. Gradually increase the time the cats spend together as long as they are not aggressive to each other.
Litterbox Training
Since most cats prefer to eliminate in private, put the litter box someplace that's easily accessible, but away from heavy foot traffic. Position the litter box away from your cat's feeding or bedding area as most cats do not like to eliminate in the same vicinity as their feeding or resting areas. Show your kitten a litter box, demonstrate how to scratch in the litter, and she'll get the picture pretty fast. Sand textured scoopable litters are preferred by most cats. Both urine and feces should be scooped from the litter box daily and the entire litter box contents should be changed weekly. If you have multiple cats, keep one suitably sized box for each cat, plus an extra litter box (n+1). If your kitten is still very small or you share your home with an elderly cat, make sure that the litter box is not too deep so that she can easily climb in and out. If the litter box is too small, your cat might be reluctant to use it or, if she does, she might urinate over the edge, missing the box. Some cats will not use covered litter pans, or even open pans that sit beneath closely hanging objects such as brooms or mops.
Overweight cats face serious health risks, lower quality of life and perhaps even a feline form of depression. Fat cats have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, liver disease, diabetes, orthopedic problems, and even neurological problems. As our cats' protectors, we should take obesity seriously and feed and exercise them sensibly.
For cats, twice daily feeding of reasonable amounts of high fiber, low fat cat food is a good approach. Also, treats should be suitably formulated, small and strictly rationed. But even with such measures, some cats still don't lose weight. This is when you should enlist your veterinarian's help to check for medical conditions that may be contributing factors to your cat's obesity. Your veterinarian may also prescribe a specific diet to help with weight loss. Exercise can also help. Not only does regular exercise help to burn calories, but it also provides an outlet for pent-up energy that might otherwise transmute into anxious eating behavior.

Outdoor vs Indoor Cats
There is no one right answer to the question, "Should I let my cat roam outside?" Once you know the facts, you can make an appropriate decision that takes your cat's well being into account. Outdoor cats face many hazards including, but not limited to: traffic fatalities, cat fights, infectious diseases, predation, and environmental extremes.
Indoor cats have an average life span of 14 years, whereas outdoor-indoor cats have an average life span of only four years. However, an exclusively indoor life may be restrictive and is possibly a factor leading to compulsive behaviors such as wool sucking (when the cat sucks, chews or ingests fabric) or psychogenic alopecia (when the cat pulls his own hair out). One solution is to provide supervised (perhaps on harness or by providing a secure outdoor enclosure) outdoor time for your cat. Another is to provide environmental enrichment for your indoor cat. Some ideas include providing company (another cat), toys, climbing frames, fish tanks (with firmly attached lids), window bird feeders, or even videos that are specially designed to keep your cat occupied and happy. Feeding your cat 's meals in play and treat balls will help to satisfy her predatory instincts
Plant Eating
Plant eating is a normal cat behavior that provides cats with dietary fiber to act as a laxative or an emetic (in large quantities) to relieve hairballs. In fact, providing non-toxic grasses such as wheat grass can enrich your cat's environment and provide a safe source of fiber. Toxic plants (such as Easter lilies, Oleander and Dieffenbachia) can kill cats and should not be kept where the cat has access to them. If, however, you have houseplants that are receiving your cat's unwanted attention, you should try to deter your cat's attention from them by placing them out of reach, spraying them with aversive spray (such as Citrus Magic), or adding mothballs to the soil. If your cat persists, it may be helpful to provide your cat with non-toxic grasses which are acceptable for him to eat. If these measures fail, a water pistol or loud noise may sometimes deter your cat from eating your plants.

For many parents, raising children seems pretty manageable until the teenage years. Then fear, confusion, frustration, and lack of understanding begin to invade the hearts and minds of these once-confident parents. The "normal" changes of adolescence seem to be nothing but abnormal to parents who begin to feel like helpless bystanders. But parents don't need to feel alone or paralyzed by these feelings. For nearly twenty years, Walt Mueller has studied adolescents and the culture they're surrounded by. His expertise was put to the test when his own children became teenagers. Now he's bringing wisdom from research and his own experience to help parents through the tumultuous years of adolescence. With empathy and practical tools, parents will address several important issues, including the questions: • How can I begin to facilitate a smoother adolescent period for my teen? • How can I begin to break through the walls of confusion, fear, frustration, and misunderstanding? • How can I be a positive and proactive bridgebuilder into the life and world of my teenager?

Get the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 [PS3/X360] Trailer off WP (60mb)
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 features the biggest roster of challengers to ever square off in a Capcom fighting game, a total of 56 combined brawlers from both the Capcom and Marvel universes. From the world of Capcom comes characters such as Ryu from the Street Fighter series, Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil games and unofficial company mascot Mega Man. Marvel is represented by some of its biggest names, including the Invincible Iron Man, Captain America, the Sentinel of Liberty, and War Machine, Weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D. Players can mix and match from both worlds in order to create their own ideal three man/woman/robot/monster team-up.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is designed to be a gateway for new players to experience the fun of fighting games while providing a deep system for hardcore fighting fans to dig into. Action is based around colorful, exaggerated attacks that include gigantic projectile attacks (such as Ryu's fireball or Dr. Doom's Plasma Beam) and high-flying aerial moves (like Spider-Man's Maximum Spider or Cammy's Killer Bee Attack). The controls are somewhat simplified from the classic six-button system at the heart of Capcom games like Street Fighter® IV, utilizing a four-button control scheme for the action, with two "assist" buttons that pull in your team members for additional support.
Due to the amazing combination of Marvel and Capcom characters and the game's celebrated fighting system and graphics, MvC2 has been a hotly sought-after title on the game collector's circuit. Previously owned copies for older game consoles have been demanding more than $100 in auctions and at specialty video game outlets. Now players who have been desperately searching out used copies of the game will be able to go hands-on and play online with the same great online experience from Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Additionally, Capcom has added an optional advanced visual filter that improves the overall appearance of the game and added online modes, including Ranked Matches and the popular Player "Quarter" Match, that allows up to four people to watch and chat while two others are battling it out.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 achievements:
- Mega Buster: Win 50 Ranked Matches online (10).
- #1 in the Hood: Win 100 Ranked Matches online 20
- I Am Doom: Defeat multiplayer opponent in under 15 second (20).

Japan is a market that James Sullivan, manager of the CF Miton Arcturus Fund, continues to believe is the most realistically valued of all the major equity markets…
The level of the exchange rate is generally viewed as crucial to the prospects for the Japanese economy, therefore the domestic stock market in Japan tends to outperform when the domestic currency weakens against the dollar. This was clearly evident in Q1 when Japanese equities comfortably outperformed US equities, buoyed by a significant depreciation of the yen against the dollar. However, the outperformance has reversed in recent weeks as the yen has recouped some lost ground.
Nonetheless, we expect the yen to remain stable versus the dollar as risk aversion increases into the second half of 2012 (despite potential intervention by the Bank of Japan's asset purchase programme). A strong or stable yen will go some way to softening any downside of Japanese equity exposure to a sterling based investor. We recently introduced the iShares MSCI Japan Fund to the portfolio, taking our long only equity weighting to 13.8%.

A planned new access road that will provide an exit and entrance into Southwestern Community College in Webster should not be a controversial project. The college's growth, the entire country's renewed emphasis on public safety in the post-9/11 era, and SCC's unusual layout running up the side of a hill all point to the need for the project.
But this project has become a hotly debated topic among many in Jackson County now that the chairman of the board of commissioners is criticizing the preference given to the road despite what he says are other important needs in the county.
"There are some projects in our county that have been put off for years for the funding to be acquired for this road right here," Debnam said at a board meeting last week. And, even more pointed, "I told (Department of Transportation officials) this whole thing stinks so bad I can't hardly stand to stay in the room. I told them I was going to do everything in my power to stop them."
What's important here is that those critical of the road be sure to separate what are two different issues: SCC's need for the road versus how this road was OK'd over other projects.
About 11,000 vehicles a day travel past SCC on N.C. 116, right past the school's entrance. The college has seen tremendous growth in the past decade, jumping from 2,372 full-time students in 2000 to 3,668 full-timers in 2010. That's a 54-percent growth in enrollment over the past decade, and yet traffic in and out of the school must use the same roads.
The safety issue is one that has gained priority over the last decade. As we pointed out in an article in last week's newspaper, both Tuscola and Smoky Mountain high schools have had second entrance/exit roads built in recent years to make sure there was more than one way in and out of the campuses. County Commissioner Joe Cowan, in response to Debnam's criticism, was adamant that public safety is a very important aspect of this project.
Finally, in this economy it pays to feed your biggest existing industry. In Jackson County, that industry is education. Between the two colleges, there is no larger employer in the county and no other entities that attract more people. It's good for Jackson County when the state invests money in Western Carolina University and SCC.
But it's easy to understand why the issues raised by Debnam are getting traction.
In Jackson County, the Southern Loop controversy has led to a substantial level of mistrust about just about all Department of Transportation projects. There's also a new, combustible mix on the Jackson County Board of Commissioners — two new GOP members and one Independent, along with two incumbent Democrats.
Conrad Burrell, who is the regional representative on the state Board of Transportation, is also a long-time member of the SCC Board of Trustees. The fact that he openly supported this road, and that some speculate it could provide a ramp that would aid the proposed Southern Loop — which Burrell also supports and many others in Jackson County don't — has opened the door for criticism of the SCC project. Debnam thinks Burrell's support of SCC has pushed this project ahead of others.
Some also think that DOT officials and Burrell are laying the groundwork for the Southern Loop, and that this road getting pushed ahead of others is part of that plan. Let's hope not. Grouping these two projects could put SCC in the crosshairs of a controversy it in which it doesn't need to be involved.
Road building decisions are as byzantine as any process in government. It's never a bad idea to closely examine decisions by state bureaucrats about expenditures, especially when it comes to roads. The DOT has proven itself over the years to be an insular agency that too often makes decisions contrary to the wishes of the taxpayers who are paying its bills. Because of that, the public — and leaders like Debnam — has every right to scrutinize the projects that will affect their communities. Sure, the influence of someone as powerful as Burrell will definitely play a part in which roads are built — that's his job as a DOT board member.
In this case, though, SCC shouldn't be punished because of suspicions about the motives of those who support this project. The road is been discussed for more than a decade. Let's get it done. The other issues will still be there to investigate for as long as anyone wants.

Big K.R.I.T. is on the grind, all the time. Since his breakthrough with "Country Shit," the Mississippi rapper has been releasing tracks on compilations and mixtapes with a frequency that Lil Wayne would have been jealous of at his peak. "Dreamin'" is the first track Justin Scott is releasing from his upcoming 2011 album, entitled ReturnOf4Eva. The self-produced track is an autobiographical, contemplative track with an engaging minimalism. "I guess the story of a country boy just ain't compellin'" K.R.I.T. raps at one point, lacking the sneer that many rappers would include, instead turning into a quiet, dignified victory. You can grab the track for the price of an e-mail address either here or here. The new record drops Mar. 11.
