Highway crashes are no accident. Each year, more than 800 people lose their lives on Hoosier roadways. Most of those crashes were caused by driver errors such as impaired driving, speeding, aggressive driving or distracted driving. The good news is that as a driver, you hold the key to crash prevention. The following safety tips will help you avoid the most common fatal errors drivers make, and help you drive defensively to protect yourself against other driver's mistakes.
According to studies, wearing a seatbelt reduces your chance of being killed in a car crash by 60-percent. A seatbelt is your best protection against injury and death in a highway crash. Don't forget the following tips while driving:

In the U.S., an impaired driver kills someone every 30 seconds. Following these safety tips can help keep you from becoming a statistic:
For more information, visit StopImpairedDriving.org.
Aggressive drivers are not thinking clearly behind the wheel, and their dangerous actions often cause crashes. Use the following tips to keep a clear head and protect yourself from aggressive drivers:
For more information, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Driving while distracted or drowsy can have deadly consequences. Follow these steps to stay alert on the highway:
Motorcycles, pedestrians, bicyclists and commercial trucks all need special consideration on the roadway. Pay special attention around these highway users, or you may end up in a crash.
Pedestrians and Bicycles:
Visit SharetheRoadSafely.org for more information.
INDOT wants motorists to be safe as well as keep traffic moving smoothly on busy interstates and roadways.
Our Fender Bender signs reinforce Indiana law that states that drivers involved in crashes that do not result in injury or death shall not obstruct traffic more than necessary. Off the roadway or on a shoulder is a much safer place to exchange information or wait for law enforcement to arrive after a crash. Don't worry - your insurance coverage will not be compromised if you move your vehicle to the shoulder.
INDOT and the Indiana State Police urge motorists to dial 9-1-1 for more serious accidents involving bodily injury or when moving the damaged vehicle could be dangerous.
Driving on a highway in normal conditions can be dangerous, and when roads are slippery or when highway construction is occurring, driving can be even more dangerous. Please visit the following sites to learn more:

brigitta Personally Asia is my dream, but I also think that Europe would be the way to start out, just to get used to the traveling and it would be easier to get intermittent jobs. I'm planning on traveling as soon as possible, next year would be great, so I have some time to save up. But really if someone said "hey we're hiking out of utah today with nothing more than a backpack full of supplies and a map", I'd be like "HECK YEAH!" and join them in a heartbeat! :D So I've fairly flexible. One thing though...I kinda wanna bring my dog, for safety and for awesomeness! But that does provide some restrictions, so he can stay with the fam if I decide not to try. (But it would be wicked fun!) I don't really have anyone to add to the group, most of my friends are in college or the army, so there isn't much time for out of country experiences. How long would you want to travel for?

OK, now let's get practical. What does this have to do with Lent? The Church is a wise mother. She knows that we like to feast more than we like to fast, which is perfectly normal. But she also knows that if we don't fast (practice mortification), we will get spiritually out of shape pretty quickly. So she has built into the liturgical year certain seasons when we focus a little bit more than usual on this aspect of our spiritual life – penitential days and seasons, like Lent. So, fasting (some form of mortification, voluntary self-denial) is a normal part of every Catholic's Lenten journey; it gets us in shape for the holiest days of the year – Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday.
Each of us should choose some form of mortification (something that we notice, but not something that distracts us or overburdens us – balance and realism are important for a healthy spiritual life). In this way, we can unite our increased spiritual efforts to those of our Catholic brothers and sisters throughout the world, making this season a real family affair. Together we go with Jesus into the desert, where he spent 40 days practicing mortification, as a preparation for his public mission…
Yours in Christ, Father John Bartunek

Fr. John Bartunek, LC, S.Th.D, received his BA in History from Stanford University in 1990. He comes from an evangelical Christian background and became a member of the Catholic Church in 1991. After college, he worked as a high school history teacher, drama director, and baseball coach. He then spent a year as a professional actor in Chicago before entering the religious Congregation of the Legionaries of Christ in 1993. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 2003 and earned his doctorate in moral theology in 2010. He provided spiritual support on the set of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" while researching the 2005 Catholic best seller, "Inside the Passion" –the only authorized, behind-the-scene explanation of the film. Fr. John has contributed news commentary regarding religious issues on NBC, CNN, Fox, and the BBC. He also served as the English-language press liaison for the Vatican's 2005 Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist. His most widely known book is called: "The Better Part: A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer" . His most recent books are "Spring Meditations" , "Seeking First the Kingdom: 30 Meditations on How to Love God with All Your Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength" , and "Answers: Catholic Advice for Your Spiritual Questions" . Fr. John currently splits his time between Michigan (where he continues his writing apostolate and serves as a confessor and spiritual director at the Queen of the Family Retreat Center) and Rome, where he teaches theology at Regina Apostolorum. His online, do-it-yourself retreats are available at RCSpirituality.org , and he answers questions about the spiritual life at SpiritualDirection.com .
Disappointment on the part of the – not quite as 'grand' – coalition was one factor why it was difficult to set up a new government. Initial attempts to form a so-called 'Jamaica coalition' of the CDU/CSU, the Greens and the Liberals failed before Christmas, thus the two biggest parties assumed what they described as their 'responsibility' towards the general public to form another coalition to prevent a return to the polls, which would have benefited the populists and would have hurt attempts to reform the European Union. Ms Merkel will be re-elected as Chancellor on 14 March 2018. Continue reading »

In this contribution to the negotiations of a UN Global Compact Migration that the reader will find by clicking , a number of academics and practitioners based at different institutions and different countries have come together to provide their initial views and comments on the first draft. The objective of this document that does not reflect the position of the Odysseus Network as such is to provide an initial response to the Zero Draft from academia and civil society which examine what we consider to be the key parts of the Zero Draft. For each section examined we provide our personal views on the advantages and weaknesses inherent in the approach and some commentary explaining briefly the reasons for our positions. This paper is not intended to be a detailed examination of every aspect of the Zero Draft and should be read together with the Draft.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably.

Set upon a post-apocalyptic earth devastated by natural disasters caused by the sun's solar flares, Ravaged chronicles the struggle between the "Resistance" and the "Scavengers" as they fight one another to gain an upper hand in an ongoing war for survival, territory and resources.
Scavengers are an oppressive group of lawless criminals that wish to claim all land and resources for themselves. They will stop at nothing to accomplish their goal. The Resistance is a group of fighters hell-bent on restoring civilization. These civilians were able to seek shelter as the world succumbed to natural disasters during the year 2012, taking with them precious goods and weapons while the criminals and less fortunate lived off the land.
The developers behind Ravaged wanted to create a fun, over-the-top team-based game and are working with the gaming community to do so. "We at 2 Dawn Games are focused on bringing the fun back into gaming. With skill-based gameplay, community-driven content and frequent updates, we are driven to play hard."
Ravaged is currently in development with a beta planned for early 2012.

Caterpillar Announces Officer Appointments
Feb 15, 2013, 10:00 EST
PEORIA, Ill., Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE : CAT ) announced today the appointment of a new vice president and changes in responsibility for an existing vice president.
New responsibilities for Bluth
Caterpillar is moving Tom Bluth, Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for the Earthmoving Division, to become vice president with responsibility for the Mining Products Division. The Mining Products Division is part of Caterpillar's Resource Industries Group and is responsible for product strategy development, product design and sourcing for Caterpillar's mining business. Bluth will replace Luis de Leon, whose departure from the company was previously announced.
"With important previous leadership assignments in China, Europe and North America during his Caterpillar career, Tom brings significant product and operations experience to this position. Having led the Earthmoving Division since 2009, Tom has improved the market position and profitability for earthmoving machines and has consistently demonstrated the ability to improve product quality while developing and delivering products and services that are critical for the success of our customers around the world," said Steve Wunning, Caterpillar group president with responsibility for Resource Industries.
In 2007, Bluth was first appointed a vice president with responsibility for Caterpillar's Asia Pacific Manufacturing Operations. In 2009, Bluth was appointed a vice president with responsibility for the Earthmoving Division. Bluth joined Caterpillar's Legal Services Division in 1995 from private legal practice in Washington, D.C. He held positions within the Legal Services Division until 1998, and then moved to a series of broad-based business roles including marketing leadership positions in Latin America and North America. Previously, Bluth was worldwide medium wheel loader product manager and Managing Director of Caterpillar France.
Bluth holds a degree in electrical engineering from Iowa State University, a MBA from the University of Chicago and a law degree from Northwestern University.
Karl Weiss named Vice President
Caterpillar's Board of Directors has appointed Karl Weiss to replace Bluth as Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for the Earthmoving Division.
"During his 20-year career with Caterpillar, Karl has held positions with increasing levels of responsibility in the areas of product design, marketing, operations and product management, including significant leadership positions in North America, Europe and Asia," said Ed Rapp, Caterpillar group president with responsibility for Construction Industries. "His previous leadership and success in these global positions has given Karl the type of deep expertise and international experience that provides an ideal background for leading our Earthmoving business," Rapp added.
Since 2009, Weiss has been the world wide product manager for Caterpillar's medium wheel loaders. Previously, he was Asia regional product manager for both Cat and SEM wheel loaders based in Beijing. Weiss joined Caterpillar in 1992 as a design engineer in Caterpillar's Mining Vehicle Center in Decatur, Illinois. Weiss was then promoted to a number of engineering, product support and product manager positions with increasing levels of responsibility.
Weiss holds a degree in agricultural engineering from Purdue University and a MBA from Northern Illinois University.
Both moves will be effective April 1, 2013.

We've all got our little secrets — and Interview knows it. Its latest all-dude shoot takes inspiration from Grindr, the hookup app that you or someone you know is probably using right now. (It's cool, fellas. We won't tell.) Though the app is exclusively tailored to guys, this spread is some equal-opportunity eye candy.
The shots are set up just like those low-light, gritty, duck-lips-in-the-mirror shots you see on certain websites, but instead of, well, normal dudes, these shots are all of high-end male models wearing designer undies. And not much else. Click through for some of our faves. Happy Friday, indeed.

Happy New Years everyone! I'm still blogging away at Altertainment which you should hop on over to right now to check out a review I just posted of Digestate: A Food & Eating Themed Anthology.
Just a note as I'm recovering from the annual Amerikuh tradition of over-eating for a day (a day? isn't that the new normal now...) that I am blogging on an irregular schedule about webcomics and other pop culture topics at ALTERTAINMENT.
Consider yourself invited over there.
Howdy comics fans! Well hope you had a nice summer, I sure did. Still evaluating plans for what to do with COMIXTALK 2: THE TALKENING but I figured I owed someone a post about something.
CONVENTION TIME: Washington DC has both SPX and Intervention happening this month. Plus Baltimore's Comicon is this weekend. When it rains it pours (except when it's humid and it just kind of sticks). I am going to try and make SPX and Intervention this year.
SPX is September 15th and 16th. Going to SPX is like taking a deep dive into comics as comics. \ Very little (NONE!) of the trappings of a more "community" oriented comicon. Although lines have gotten longer over the years also a great place to meet some of the creators of the best comics on the web and off. Plus attendees can vote for the Ignatz Awards.
Intervention is on a different weekend this year, September 21-23 (RELIEF - both cons on the same weekend last year was a killer!) and has more of a general cool stuff from the Internet vibe to it. Still a different animal than a standard comicon but an altogether experience than SPX too. A great list of guests this year -- Shaenon Garrity and Jeffrey Wells, Danielle Corsetto, Jennie Breeden, Pete Abrams, Rob Balder, Christopher Baldwin, Jami Noguchi, actually more more more (I give up, just go to their website).
READING COMICS: I read Drama by Raina Telgemeier. REALLY GOOD - will have a real review up soon. Also got a copy of Superhero Grammar. My kids who are already full fledged GRAMMARIANS said they thought it might be a good book for younger kids learning grammar. (Scholastic gave COMIXTALK review copies of both books). Also saw that AMULET 5 is out -- I need to get ahold of that! I have also been rereading a lot of webcomics over at Comic Rocket; many posts at my new blog ALTERTAINMENT are about that -- check them out.

The New Fellow-Travelers
Why actors and models love to hang out with Hugo Chávez.
Ninety years ago this week, a Bolshevik mob stormed the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, arrested the provisional government, and installed a "dictatorship of the proletariat" in its place. Though the Russian revolution is no longer widely celebrated (not even by the Russians, who instead commemorate the expulsion of the Poles from Moscow in 1612), I felt it important to mark the occasion. In honor of the anniversary, I reread Ten Days That Shook the World, the famed account of the revolution written by John Reed, the American journalist and fellow-traveler. Then I reread last week's press reports of the recent encounter between Hugo Chávez, the Venezuelan president, and Naomi Campbell, the famed British supermodel.
Just as I'd remembered, Reed's book superbly transmits the breathless energy of the autumn of 1917—"Adventure it was, and one of the most marvelous mankind ever embarked upon, sweeping into history at the head of the toiling masses"—as well as his own fascination with, and approval of, the violence he sees around him. After attending a mass funeral, he understands, he writes, why the Russians no longer need religion: "On earth they were building a kingdom more bright than any heaven had to offer, and for which it was a glory to die." By contrast, he is abashed when he has to explain that in America people try to change things by law—a state of affairs that his new Russian comrades find "incredible."
Fast forward 90 years, and surprisingly little has changed. True, the Russian revolution itself is no longer much admired, not even by Reed's heirs on the far left. But the impulse that drew Reed to St. Petersburg remains. The Western weakness for other people's revolutionary violence, the belief in the glamour and benevolence of foreign dictators, and the insistence on seeing both through the prism of Western political debates are still very much with us.
Exhibit A is, of course, Campbell. Though better known for her taste in shoes than her opinions about Latin American economics, she nevertheless pitched up in Caracas last week, gushing about the "love and encouragement" President Chávez pours into his welfare programs. Wearing what a Venezuelan newspaper called "a revolutionary and exquisite white dress from the prestigious Fendi fashion house," she praised the country for its "large waterfalls." Of course, Campbell did not mention the anti-Chávez demonstrations held in Caracas the week before her visit, proposed constitutional changes designed to let Chávez remain in power indefinitely, or Chávez's record of harassing opposition leaders or the media.
But then, that wasn't the point of her visit, just as it wasn't when actor Sean Penn, a self-conscious "radical" and avowed enemy of the American president, spent a whole day with President Chávez. Together, the two of them toured the countryside. "I came here looking for a great country. I found a great country," Penn declared. But of course he found a great country! Penn wanted a country where he would win adulation for his views about U.S. politics, and the Venezuelan president happily provided it.
In fact, for the malcontents of Hollywood, academia, and the catwalks, Chávez is an ideal ally. Just as the sympathetic foreigners whom Lenin called "useful idiots" once supported Russia abroad, their modern equivalents provide the Venezuelan president with legitimacy, attention, and good photographs. He, in turn, helps them overcome the frustration John Reed once felt—the frustration of living in an annoyingly unrevolutionary country where people have to change things by law. For all his brilliance, Reed could not bring socialism to America. For all his wealth, fame, media access, and Hollywood power, Sean Penn cannot oust George W. Bush. But by showing up in the company of Chávez, he can at least get a lot more attention for his opinions.
As for Venezuelan politics, or the Venezuelan people, they don't matter at all. The country is simply playing a role filled in the past by Russia, Cuba, and Nicaragua—a role to which it is, at the moment, uniquely suited. Clearly, Venezuela is easier to idealize than Iran and North Korea, the former's attitude to women being not conducive to fashion models, the latter being downright hostile to Hollywood. Venezuela is also warm, relatively close, and a country of beautiful waterfalls.
Most of all, Venezuela's leader not only dislikes the American president—so do most other heads of state—but refers to him as "the devil," a "dictator," a "madman," and a "killer." Who cares what Chávez actually does when Sean Penn isn't looking? Ninety years after the tragedy of the Russian revolution, Venezuela has become the "kingdom more bright than any heaven had to offer" for a whole new generation of fellow-travelers. As long as the oil lasts.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A sheriff's deputy in Seattle was arrested and charged on Thursday with drug dealing, stealing from his department and acting as his wife's pimp, authorities said.
The arrest of Darrion Keith Holiwell, 49, is part of an investigation into alleged corruption and other wrongdoing at the King County Sheriff's Department and officials said it could lead to charges against other officers.
According to court documents, Holiwell used his position as a SWAT officer and firearms instructor to sell live ammunition and some 19,000 pounds of brass bullet casings stolen from the department's ranges and used the profits to run an illegal "slush fund."
King County Sheriff John Urquhart said Holiwell may have made more than $45,000 from the thefts between 2007 and 2014, which he then allegedly used to buy expensive firearms for himself and the SWAT team.
Holiwell, a 19-year-veteran of the force, has been put on paid administrative leave along with two other deputies - one accused of helping him steal from the ranges, and another who allegedly tipped him off about the internal investigation.
Urquhart criticized what he said was a culture in the department that had allowed the alleged corruption to take root.
"We still have to do more investigation," he told a news conference on Thursday. "What I don't know is how far up the chain it went."
Bail has been set at $150,000 for Holiwell, who is scheduled to make his first court appearance on July 1.
The investigation of Holiwell began last year after a sheriff's deputy told the department that Holiwell may have been physically abusing his estranged wife.
The wife later told investigators he suggested she work as a prostitute and helped her post ads with an online escort agency. Court documents say Holiwell helped his wife find clients and took 80 percent of her earnings.
It was while they were investigating the abuse and prostitution claims that officers became aware of Holiwell's scheme to sell the stolen bullet casings, Urquhart said.
The county sheriff said Holiwell also was charged with selling testosterone to a citizen, and that he also was likely selling it to members of the department.
Illegal prescription drugs, steroids and the club drug "Molly" also were found in Holiwell's home, Urquhart said.
"I am on a witch hunt to root out this type of behavior," he said.

In many cases during 2008, farmers planted a crop not knowing how much it would cost to grow the crop, but banking on high commodity prices to put profit on the bottom line. Farmers who survived that strategy in 2008 will likely find times harder in 2009.
There is no doubt 2008 was a good year for most farmers. Net income likely will top $95 billon — a 10 percent increase over 2007.
Profits from the 2008 crop seem to indicate an ideal time to buy new equipment, land or other assets. However, risk for the 2009 crops may make building working capital and saving money for harder times a better option, according to former Virginia Tech Ag Economist Dave Kohl.
Speaking at a recent Southeast Agriculture Lending School (SEAL) conference at Clemson University, Kohl said, "Farmers make their worst management decisions during good times." Kohl says farmers should build cash reserves and working capital at this time.
Agricultural lending has been impacted less by the current financial situation than other segments of the economy. However, lending to large farming operations will likely be more restricted for the 2009 growing season. Anticipating more restrictive lending policies is a good reason for growers to build cash reserves and working capital, according to Kohl.
In the Southeast, the cost of producing a crop has nearly tripled for grain production and more than doubled for traditional crops like cotton and peanuts. Not only do farmers have to deal with their own financial solvency, they likewise must take a careful look at their input suppliers. Kohl says. " Prepaying for inputs at record high prices, months in advance, is a tough decision to make. Farmers now must worry about the liquidity and solvency of their input suppliers."
Some factors to consider when planning to manage risk, Kohl says:
When prepaying inputs, hedge by making future crop sales with one of the marketing tools available. If possible, spread risk by buying inputs in increments so, if prices decline, you're not wrong on the whole amount purchased.
Know who you are doing business with. When prepaying, ask your suppliers for financial statements.
Utilize revenue-based crop insurance. Buy up to cover higher production costs.
Build working capital to meet current and future obligations and to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
In some parts of the country, pest management companies are offering reduced crop insurance for growers using technology traits that improve the odds of making a profitable crop. For example, corn producers in 11 Midwest states will benefit from using Monsanto's corn hybrids that include in the seed the company's YieldGard Plus, YieldGard VT Triple and YieldGard VT Triple Pro corn.
The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) Board of Directors of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently approved the expansion of a Risk Management Biotechnology Endorsement for the 2009 crop year.
Taking optimum advantage of crop protection opportunities in periods of unprecedented high risk is a must for farmers in 2009.
In 2008 seed supplies in some regions was spotty, though in general soybean, corn and wheat farmers got enough seed to plant as many acres as they wanted. However, they didn't always get the varieties they needed to provide the best fit for their soil and growing conditions. Most experts agree the first step in managing risk is to put the right seed in the ground.
Soybean and corn seed supplies should be good in 2009, better across the board than 2008, according to Bruce Howison, vice-president for marketing for corn and soybeans for Syngenta Seeds.
Most grain seed are grown and sold regionally. The problems with growers getting the seed variety they wanted in 2008 in the Southeast will be less of a problem because companies, like Syngenta, have geared up better for the demand for corn and soybean seed in the region, Howison says.
In the future, probably even to some extent in 2009, growers will be looking at varieties that will produce optimum yields based on fertilizer and pesticide needs rather than simply high yield potential, he adds.
Efficiency will be critical to managing risk in 2009, regardless of the crop grown. High yields will also be critical in 2009.
North Carolina vegetable and sweet potato grower, Kendall Hill is a third generation sweet potato farmer in Kinston, N.C. Never before in the history of Tull Hill Farms has efficiency been so critical to survival, he says.
"It's going to be tough for a cotton farmer to make a go of it, unless he can produce at much higher levels than the state average — same with sweet potatoes, tobacco and vegetable crops," Hill adds.
In 2009, seed supply appears to be less of a problem, though farmers are placing seed orders earlier than at any time in recent years. Though supply is not so much of a question as in 2008, price is a much bigger problem.
Seed corn prices for 2009 may climb close to $300 per bag in some of the Southeastern states, especially in some of the more popular high-end triple stack varieties. The argument for higher prices is that the pest management capabilities of genetically improved varieties lower the overall cost of production by eliminating or reducing the need for certain pesticides.
A veteran Southeastern corn grower countered that contention at a recent corporate-sponsored event by saying, "Technology does not yield anything," he said. "It merely protects the potential for yield which is supplied by the genetics. "If corn does not have a yield potential of 200 bushels an acre, you can apply all the technology you want and it won't yield more than 200 bushels an acre."
There is no doubt the cost of producing a crop will jump dramatically from 2008 to 2009. A recent survey by the University of Illinois predicts the cost of getting a crop in the ground in 2009 may jump by 30-35 percent. Along with input price jumps comes increased risk.
The study projects non-land production costs for corn will total $529 an acre next year, up 36 percent from 2008 and nearly 85 percent higher than the average of $286 per acre from 2003 to 2007.
At $321 an acre, soybean input costs are projected to rise 34 percent from 2008 and more than 78 percent from the 2003-2007 average of $180 an acre.
Assuming cash-rent fees of $200 an acre, the study projects a break-even price of $3.82 a bushel for corn in central Illinois, based on an average yield of 191 bushels an acre. Soybeans would break even at $9.65 a bushel, based on yields of 54 bushels per acre.
The cost of growing the crop is not the only risk a farmer will have in 2009. Speaking at the recent 71st annual meeting of the North Carolina Feed Industry Association, Randy Gordon says the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) which now owns the Chicago Board of Trade admits the wheat futures contract is broken. Corn and soybean futures are similarly affected by the current financial crisis.
Gordon, who is vice-president of communications and government affairs for the National Grain and Feed Association, says the same trends are beginning to be seen in corn and many wonder whether soybeans will be next.
Gordon says elevators managers and feed mills have lost confidence in futures market as a risk management tool.
Down to the farmer level there is little confidence that futures prices are a true barometer of what supply and demand conditions are for crop and commodity values, Gordon says. "Losing the ability to forward contract crops significantly increases what is already a huge risk in farming."
Darlington, S.C., grower Gil Rogers probably put 2009 risk in the proper perspective. He says, "We've just harvested our 39th crop. In the past having a real good crop would get you through two or three years of bad crops. Now, I don't think that will work."

Every time they apologize and tell me that they won't call back (Wink). Long story short, their calls WERE increasing to the point I was getting a phone call 3 times per day. I really don't like blocking callers. I guess it's because I'm an internal optimist and think that one day that caller will have something I need. But what I need right now is for canadian pharmacy cialis them to stop calling so I logged into my RingCentral account and blocked the caller in about 20 seconds.

Michigan Senate Takes Up Bill to Ban Government Union Stewards Working on Taxpayers' Dime
Under a bill being considered by the Michigan Senate, union leaders would no longer be able to receive taxpayer-funded leave time to work on union business rather than educating students or working for public school districts.
The bill was introduced by state Rep. Marty Knollenberg, R-Troy, and passed in the House last year.
"Each dollar spent on a union official is a dollar taken from the classroom," Rep. Knollenberg said last year. "The last thing people should have to worry about is whether their tax dollars are actually being spent on their children, not union activities."
Capitol Confidential broke the story of how much taxpayer money was being spent on strictly union business last March by sending Freedom of Information Act Requests to every district. Michigan public schools spend millions every year paying for this privilege, with 25 districts paying for at least one full-time union head to do non-educational work.
Stay Engaged
As the story from last March documented, some examples were particularly egregious.
For example, Chippewa Valley School District paid a combined $208,287 in compensation for two union personnel to deal 100 percent with union issues. One of those teachers sits on the Michigan Education Association's board of directors. Chippewa Valley asked residents to approve a $27 million special education millage increase last November, which ultimately failed.
Michael Van Beek, director of the education policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, said previously that the cost is two-fold for districts.
"Taxpayers pay twice when districts grant unions these privileges," he said. "They've got to foot the bill for the union boss' pay and for the pay of somebody else to actually teach while the union boss enjoys release time. It's an arrangement that has no positive impact for students, parents or taxpayers."

Applying to US universities can be a challenging process; writing essays,
navigating application portals, sitting standardised tests and keeping your
nerve during interviews all takes preparation. Yet more Australian students are
realising that the opportunities abroad are a springboard for success.
However, studying a degree overseas isn't for everyone. It's a decision that requires consideration, long-term planning and support from family and the school community.
Three key tips:
1. Start researching early - Year 10 or 11
is ideal
2. Establish a timeline (and stick to it!)
3. Gather support to enable your goals
This guide aims to equip you with key information regarding the US university
application processes.
There are more than 3,700 colleges to choose from in the US and it's becoming an increasingly popular study destination for international students.
With such a wide choice of colleges, it's important you do thorough research to help you look beyond brand-name colleges such as Harvard or Stanford and instead find colleges that would be the best fit for you depending on your interests and the kind of lifestyle you want.
At present, the most popular states for international students to study include Texas, New York and California. With the pace of entrepreneurship and growth of technology sectors in the US, the most popular degrees include engineering, business and management, mathematics and computer science. Remember, the vast majority of undergraduate courses in the US are four years.
|In terms of education, the liberal arts degree in the US is one of the main
reasons Australian students apply there. A liberal arts degree allows you to
explore a wide variety of subjects in order to gain a more complex understanding
of the world. Instead of majoring in something specific and vocational, such as
astronomy, you would major in natural sciences. In this instance, many of your
courses will be focused on natural sciences but you will also take a range of
courses in other subjects.
This degree structure has the backing of some of the world's most prominent business people including billionaire Mark Cuban which you can read an article about here.
Here's a quote from a New Zealand student, Jeffrey, who is now studying at Duke University in North Carolina. "For the first two years of a liberal arts degree, you are able to explore different fields before deciding what you want to specialise in. For example, I've taken classes in Chinese, art history, computer science, biology, maths and writing. I'm intending to major in economics but now I've also decided to pick up a second major in computer science. It amazes me to think that if I stayed at the University of Auckland (I attended for one semester initially), I would have never been exposed to computer science and would not have the opportunity to pursue a career in tech."
Smaller liberal arts colleges don't often appear on rankings lists as they only have undergraduate courses. Some of the most well-known and competitive entry liberal arts colleges include Williams, Swarthmore and Amherst.
Application Platforms:
Applying Rounds and Application Strategy:
Knowing when to apply can be confusing in the US as there are three different rounds: early action, early decision and regular decision.
|1. Early Action Round
|Applying for the early action round is looked upon favourably by colleges so it's a good idea to apply in this round if you have the time. If you get accepted, the decision is not final. You'll submit applications in December and get replies in January. Check each college for specific deadlines.
|2. Early Decision Round
|This round is different because if the college accepts you, it is binding. This means you have committed to going to this college so be careful when considering where you apply to via early decision. Again, you'll submit applications in December and find out in January.
|3. Regular Decision Round
|The majority of students will apply through the regular decision round which makes it more competitive. Applications are submitted between late December and early January (depending on the college) and decisions are released between March and April. You will get either accepted, waitlisted or rejected. If you get waitlisted by a college you wish to attend, it's a good idea to send a letter to admissions officers to say that you still want to be considered in case other students don't accept their offer.
The US college year starts late August/early September. We recommend students apply to local universities and start first semester here in Australia while waiting to hear from universities overseas. You can then defer your local university course to take up your offer overseas.
A typical strategy is to apply to eight colleges - two dream colleges, two to three colleges that you're likely to get into and two to three colleges you feel assured of securing an offer.
Keep an eye out for open days, student ambassador webinars, and information sessions, as it's not only a great chance to learn more about prospective colleges but it's a good way to demonstrate your interest to admissions officers who take record of attendance.
|Personal Statements and Supplementary Essays:
The personal statement is your opportunity to convey your individual voice. Keep in mind that admissions officers are not only looking for academic students but those who will make a positive contribution to campus life and go on to be leaders of the future. You are required to write one personal statement of approximately 600 words which is submitted through the Common App. It is sent to all the universities you apply for.
Australian students are more accustomed to writing analytical essays than writing about themselves. For this reason, it is a good idea to download the free personal statement eBook written by Crimson Education consultants.
In addition, many universities will require two to three supplementary essays to
be written, for which they provide prompts. This is where the unique character
of each university starts to show. For example, University of Chicago is known
for its quirky approach so they're looking for similarly alternative students.
Some of their past essay prompts include 'Find X' and 'What's odd about odd
Extracurricular Activities and Leadership:
In the Common App, there are 10 spaces for you to show admissions officers your involvement in extracurricular activities and leadership initiatives, and extra spaces for awards and honours. This is an opportunity to differentiate yourself from the crowd and to give your application a strong narrative. For example, if you are passionate about environmental science, you would ideally be involved in extracurricular and leadership activities related to this, such as planting trees and volunteering for environmental charities or clubs. Most universities will be looking to see your involvement in activities that you have created yourself in addition to existing institutional activities such as school sport and music. For more information, download this free eBook on how to excel in your US application written by Crimson Education.
To attend a US college, you must take either the SAT or ACT exam. The majority of the content on these tests are based on material you would have already covered in high school and because you live in an English speaking country, you have a distinct advantage for the writing and reading sections.
Added advantages of the SAT and ACT is that they are valid for five years, you can take the test multiple times and many colleges (but not all) accept a 'super score' which combines your highest scoring sections across multiple tests.
Both exams have reading, writing and maths sections. The ACT also has a science section. There are six testing dates throughout the year and testing centres are located around Australia. It costs approximately $80AUD to register and take the SAT or ACT.
It is generally recommended students interested in studying in the US take the SAT or ACT once in Year 11 and again in Year 12 to maximise the chance of getting a high score.
Top universities will also require you to sit two SAT Subject Tests. The tests you take are chosen by you although some courses may ask you to take specific tests that align with that course e.g. maths subject test is required by most engineering courses.
For a guide on SAT/ACT scores required to gain admission to US universities, download this free eBook provided by Crimson Education.
Colleges will also take into account your final high school exam marks whether that's an ATAR or IB score but there are no cut-off scores. If you are applying in the early rounds, you can ask your school to provide a predicted ATAR which will usually suffice.

The majority of universities will ask you to provide two written references. These are commonly sourced from a school teacher, sports coach or community leader. It is your responsibility to make sure you ask for these references well in advance and provide your referees with all the necessary information about your achievements and interests.
Colleges also commonly ask to see your academic transcripts from Year 9 through to Year 12. You can request official transcripts from your school.
As a final step, many universities will require you to be interviewed. This is usually with an alumni of the university either face-to-face or over the phone and can be quite informal. This interview is the final step to determine whether you are not only a good fit for the university from a social and cultural standpoint.
As a general guide, US applications are weighted as follows:
50% Academics (SAT / ACT & SAT Subject Tests as well as high school marks and academic transcripts)
30% Extracurricular and Leadership Activities
20% Application Essays and Interview
Admissions Rates:
Top universities are notoriously competitive to gain admission to. As a result, you can expect the top 20 universities in the US will have an admissions rate under 10%.
In Australia, many students go through uni acquiring a HECS debt and in the US, approximately 95% of students are on some kind of Financial Aid. The difference between the two systems is that Financial Aid is not a loan and you will not be asked to pay it back. Financial Aid is awarded to students on a 'needs basis' after reviewing the financial details of families who apply.
As a case study, in 2016 at Harvard, 98% of students were on some kind of financial aid. The average family received approximately $50,000USD a year in aid and contributed $12,000USD which is inclusive of living expenses. Universities are able to afford Financial Aid due to the generosity of alumni donors. For more information on costs, Google 'net calculator' along with the name of the university you're interested in to get rough estimates of the cost per year based on your family's financial situation.
If you have dual citizenship between Australia and the US, we recommend you apply as a US citizen.
Other Reasons to Consider Overseas Study:
|Students attending top-ranked universities may not have to go looking for a job after the degree as the jobs come to them. World-leading companies such as Goldman Sachs, Bain and McKinsey & Co actively recruit on-campus at top universities. See university employability rankings for more information.
|What sets top universities apart from the rest of the world are the exceptional facilities they have. This could be cutting edge science labs through to professional level sport facilities. Whatever your passions are, find the university that has concentrated its investment in that particular field.
|Top universities are also top research institutes. This means that places like Stanford University have 19 Nobel laureates on staff. If you have a specific passion for a subject, research the best professors in the field and apply for universities they teach at. In some cases, it may be a university you had never even heard of.
|Alumni Network
|Top-ranked universities are well-known for having an extensive and supportive alumni network which runs even deeper if you happen to be members of the same clubs and activities.
|And finally there is the on-campus lifestyle. This includes everything from the hundreds of extracurricular clubs on campus, the fraternities and sororities and the unique university spirit in the US to the collegiate life and sense of history in the UK.

More than 200 people from various ethnic and social backgrounds gathered on Friday to support the Green & Gold Foundation and thank their "Three Musketeers."
LAKE WALES — More than 200 people from various ethnic and social backgrounds gathered on Friday to support the Green & Gold Foundation and thank their "Three Musketeers."
Clinton Horne, Albert Hawkins Jr. and Jerome Mack were so named by Carole Kuehn, one of the organizers for the Green & Gold Gala, not only because the Lake Wales natives have been friends since third grade, but they work together to help their community.
Their work includes:
Founding the Green & Gold Foundation, a community assistance non-profit organization that now runs the B Street Community Center
Helping found Unity In Community, a local organization dedicated to bridging gaps between races and religions
Being pivotal in setting up Lake Wales Charter Schools Inc., a six-school system from elementary through high school.
After they graduated in the mid-1950s from Roosevelt Academy — a segregated school at the time — they went their separate ways.
Horne worked in finance, eventually for Texaco in New York City.
Hawkins went into education and, as the Rev. James F Cleare of Allen Temple AME Church said, entered a "battle zone" across the Hudson River from Horne in and around Newark, N.J.
In the evenings, the two men would meet and talk about how they really wanted to return to their hometown to help youth, said attorney Robin Gibson.
"That's what they did," Gibson said.
Gibson met Horne more than a decade ago when Lake Wales residents wanted to convert some schools to charter schools.
Horne's name kept popping up as a person who would help, especially since he tutored students at the B Street Community Center, Gibson said.
The two men went into schools to talk with teachers about conversion, Gibson said. During one visit, three elementary school students in a line of children walking between classes gave Horne high-fives and said, "See you at tutoring," Gibson said.
"I said, 'Clint, you can't buy that,'" Gibson said.
Gibson said that without Horne, there would be no Charter System.
In turn, Horne said Gibson was his "partner in crime" and deserves more than half of the honor for setting up the Charter System.
Beverly Lynne, former principal at Janie Howard Wilson Elementary School said Horne gave money for the science lab at the school.
Jerome Mack — Coach Mack — taught at Janie Howard Wilson Elementary and Polk Avenue Elementary School and also in Auburndale, said attorney Howard Kay, who's known him 30 years.
Mack helped form Unity In Community and is "always there, always helping out" at the B Street Center, Kay said.
"He's a real rock in more ways than one," Kay said.
Friday's gala was to raise funds to help pay operation costs for the B Street Center.
Wanda Howard, with the Lake Wales Branch of the NAACP, said that without fundraisers like the gala, the B Street Center programs wouldn't exist.
Horne said there are now 64 programs at the B Street Center to raise economic, educational, cultural, health, employment and housing opportunities for Lake Wales area families.
Horne has said that the organization is working on a $1 million drive to expand the facility by 7,600 square feet, to provide room for an early childhood learning center, a technology training center, a business incubator, a food pantry, a community-based police office and multi-purpose rooms.
The gala included live and silent auctions, a chance drawing, dining, dancing and live music from the Lake Wales High School Orchestra.

Our two-car, insulated garage combined with our two current vehicles (2003 Pontiac Vibe, 2005 Chevy Aveo LS) definitely constitute the life upgrades that have provided me with the most lasting happiness.
Living close to the vest while in college, driving used vehicles, and dating a woman (the future Mrs. FFP) who had perpetual car trouble forced me to become somewhat of a self-taught backyard mechanic in my late teens. What I lacked in skill and experience I made up for with a determination grounded in the knowledge that failure was not an option, simply because neither she nor I could afford to pay for someone else to perform the repairs.
With no garage available, more often than not this left me on my back under a car in the limestone driveway. I don't miss the cuts, scrapes, and bruises from laying on the rocks, the fire ants biting my legs and back, or the freezing cold and lack of feeling in my fingers caused by mid-winter oil repairs here in Michigan.
The house we purchased after we were married has a large two-car garage (a mandatory requirement during the home-buying process!). The vehicles we drive now are still over 10 years old, but they are well-vetted, highly-regarded, Consumer Reports-recommended models. I still perform all of our own car repairs, but can now do so in the comfort of an insulated and paved garage, while needing to perform them far, far less often. The garage still brings me an immense amount of happiness!
I would say the type of spending that provides me with the least form of lasting happiness is that of eating out. Very temporary happiness boost, more often than not while sabotaging other life goals such as fitness. We don't do it much, but it has probably the lowest ROI on the lasting happiness scale for me.
That Frugal Pharmacist April 10, 2018, 1:25 pm
I hadn't put much thought in to it, but I think my husband may have perfected this without having put any thought in to it.
He's "retired" to take care of our property (and now child), and it made sense financially when we moved where we did for him to not have a job for multiple reasons.
Anyway, he always has 20 different little projects or ideas in the works and is constantly making little tweaks and improvements indoors and out.
I find myself getting frustrated that ideas and plans take so long. But maybe he's actually settled on a formula for giving him the most bang for his buck and effort of keeping busy, spending little and always feeling like he's got something he enjoys to do.
Unlike me who would rather focus and get a project done, he's happy to string it out for weeks. And why not really? It's not like we were really any better or worse off in the end.

One of the best upgrades I've made was to convert an old mountain bike to an electric assist car crushing machine! I ride it on days I am not riding a pedal only bike, or about 2-3 days per week. Money savings, time savings, and sheer joy are some of the benefits derived from this upgrade. I still get a workout and the bike allows me to carry much more weight than a pedal only bike and travel much faster. I get that actual benefit bump every time I throw a leg over the top tube and roll down my driveway!

Discussion in 'General MMA discussion' started by KZUFCchamp2013, Dec 12, 2012.
Haha yes great matchup, tough one to call though. Siver looked amazing his last fight, but Cub has been on a tear as well. I think Siver will take the decision.
Great match. I think this clears out the division now.
Aldo/Edgar winner vs. Siver/Swanson winner
Guida/Hioki winner vs. "Korean Zombie" or Lamas.
Don't forget about the upcoming Lamas/Koch matchup. FW is crazy right now
Ah, right!
That changes my perception. I think now it will be:
Aldo/Edgar vs. Siver/Swanson
"Korean Zombie" gets next title shot
Lamas/Koch vs. Hioki/Guida winners get the shot after Jung's.
Cub Should be in the talks as comeback fighter of the year. Injured most of 2011 and losing his first fight in the UFC. Then in 2012 rattles of 3 really impressive finishes with 2 KOTN bonuses and finds himself in title contention.
But the matchup itself is crazy. Great fight.
I think KZ will probably have to win another fight. He's been out a long time and a lot has happened with new contenders emerging since he's been on the sidelines.
Lamas/Koch winner will almost definitely fight Aldo/Edgar winner
Cub/Siver winner has a great case to be next after that
KZ, Elkins, Oliveira, and Brimage are close too. Maye Brimage/Elkins and KZ/Oliveira?
If I'm not mistaken the zombie says he wants to fight on the Japan card so maybe he will fight Mendes assuming he wins without taking any damage this friday or maybe he fights someone like Mike Brown or Darren Elkins.
Diego Nunes is another guy that gets put up there with those guys. We also have to see one more fight from Hacran Dias although Yuri Alcantara is a damn impressive debut win.
I am so f---ing happy Dennis Siver is at 145, this is an amazing match up. My vote for FOTN already
Yes, the winner of Nunes/Lentz will be up there as well. I am so disappointed that Dias got hurt, hopefully he can be back soon, but I expect big things from him. I also think that Max Holloway and Rony Jason will be in the contender talks by the end of 2013
Could be a good fight. Doubt it goes to the ground at all.
i like swanson in this, i think he'll get outstruck for the opening minute or two of the fight but then he'll connect with a vicious haymaker straight from hell that will knock dennis out cold.
Just got home from the station, and hell yea this is an awesome fight. im pretty sure i called this after siver beat phan. still awesome stand up war. idc who wins all i know is it will be a war. Btw KZU, heres a better quality pic of randy
here we have it guys go lay huge money on Siver
Thanks BRF, I've been waiting for you to tell me what my next bet was going to be.
Amazing fight!
Despite the BRF curse, I could actually see that happening. Siver has been caught before and Cub has been on a roll lately.
oh, haha.
I dont know why I put Oliveira in this group. Completely forgot Cub KO'd him in his last fight
Separate names with a comma.
