All eyes have focused on Europe lately as the financial crisis there threatens economic recoveries in Massachusetts and the nation. But problems in another of state's key international markets is adding to the worries.
China, which accounted for nearly $1 of every $10 in exports by Massachusetts companies last year, is undergoing a sharp slowdown as global demand for its manufactured products slumps. As a result, Massachusetts-made products shipped to the country — many of which support China's manufacturing sector — have also fallen sharply.
In the first quarter, the state's exports to China plunged about 19 percent from the same period in 2011, nearly equaling the decline during the recent recession, according to World Institute for Strategic Economic Research, a nonprofit research group in Leverett. Previously the state's third-largest export market, China dropped to sixth in the first quarter.
"It's not good news," said Andre Mayer, head of economic research at Associated Industries of Massachusetts, a business trade group. "With Europe slowing down, you would hope China would keep going and maybe pick up some of the slack. But that doesn't appear to be happening."
The decline in exports to China is not enough to push the state into recession, economists said, but it nonetheless adds to a growing list of negatives weighing on the recovery.
Over the past decade, expanding trade with China was a consistent bright spot for the state, serving as a counterbalance that allowed many businesses to offset losses in other markets in difficult times.
Massachusetts companies sold more than $2 billion in merchandise to China last year, primarily sophisticated products such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, instruments, and advanced machinery.
China last year accounted for about half the $1.4 billion in revenue of Skyworks Solutions Inc., a Woburn maker of semiconductors for mobile devices such as cellphones and tablet computers. But after several years of consistent growth, sales in China have been relatively flat recently, said Skyworks' chief executive, David J. Aldrich, who declined to give specific figures.
A number of factors are causing China's economy to cool, economists said, including the slowing European and US economies, which has hurt demand for Chinese-made goods. China's economy depends heavily on exports.
China's economic growth is projected by economists to decline this year to about 8 percent from more than 9 percent last year. Some analysts believe China's growth rate could eventually fall to about 5 percent, a strong pace by the standards of developed nations, but still a dramatic downshift for what has been the engine of the global economy.
Cabot Corp., a Boston chemical maker, said business in China, which accounted for about 18 percent of Cabot's $3.1 billion in revenue last year, has also slowed recently, though the company wouldn't release financial figures.
"China is quite critical to us," said Patrick Prevost, chief executive of Cabot, "There's concern about a slowdown, yes."
But Cabot, which employs 600 workers in China, is still plowing ahead with plans to build its fourth manufacturing facility there to produce carbon black, a material used in tires. "You have to invest in the long term, not the short term," Prevost said.
Exports to China represent only half a percentage point of the state's annual economic output of nearly $400 billion. But it's the cumulative impact of the Chinese slowdown, European financial crisis, and weakening US recovery that economists fear — falling dominoes that could hobble the Massachusetts economy.
The US economy grew at only a 1.9 percent rate last quarter, according to federal government data, while the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent last month from 8.1 percent.
Massachusetts, which releases May figures next week, added 2,500 jobs in April as the state unemployment rate slipped to 6.3 percent.
"If there's just a slowdown in China, it's not going to send us into a recession," said Alan Clayton-Matthews, an economist at Northeastern University. "The question is whether, at the same time, we also see a decrease in activity with Europe and a slowing US economy."
Local executives said they are optimistic that China's huge developing market will flourish in the long term, offering opportunities for Massachusetts firms and boosting the state economy as profits from exports stream back to corporate headquarters here.
But they acknowledge that, in the short run, the once red-hot Chinese economy is cooling — and along with it demand for their products.
Nypro Inc., a Clinton plastics maker with four plants and 9,000 workers in China, sells a wide variety of plastic products to electronic, cellphone, medical device, and other manufacturers that sell in China.
The privately held company, which employs about 1,000 people in Massachusetts, declined to disclose what share of its $1.2 billion in revenue comes from operations in China.
"If there's a slowdown in China, it would be an issue to our customers because they would have problems with consumer demand there," said Nypro spokesman Al Cotton. "I don't know if it will be a huge problem, but any decrease in demand in China would be felt."

It's time for another nonfiction roundup! It has been a while since I posted one of these, and part of the reason is that many of these books were kind of difficult, for one reason or another. Still, I think you'll find some good ones here, covering everything from politics to religion to American culture.
A Year of Biblical Womanhood
Strong-willed and independent, Rachel Held Evans couldn't sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment–a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decides to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible's instructions for women as literally as possible for a year.
Pursuing a different virtue each month, Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires more than a "gentle and quiet spirit" (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her head, obeying her husband, rising before dawn, abstaining from gossip, remaining silent in church, and even camping out in the front yard during her period.
See what happens when a thoroughly modern woman starts referring to her husband as "master" and "praises him at the city gate" with a homemade sign. Learn the insights she receives from an ongoing correspondence with an Orthodox Jewish woman, and find out what she discovers from her exchanges with a polygamist wife. Join her as she wrestles with difficult passages of scripture that portray misogyny and violence against women.
I'm always a fan of Rachel Held Evans, and since feminism and religion are both things that are important to me, I was really excited to read this book. I found some of the things that Evans did a little bit… silly (and I questioned how she made it to the age of 30 without cooking, cleaning, or sewing on a button–no matter what your gender, I feel like these are basic skills that every adult picks up to some extent). But on the whole, I loved how she looked at groups from the Quakers to the Amish to the Jewish people and more to figure out how we have interpreted biblical womanhood in the past and how we can interpret it now.
Evans looks closely at the text and the way different Christian and Jewish traditions have interpreted the Bible's teachings on women and invites us to do the same. Despite a little corniness that seems to come with any book that revolves around a year-long project, I really enjoyed this book. It gave me plenty of food for thought.

Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask
What have you always wanted to know about Indians? Do you think you should already know the answers—or suspect that your questions may be offensive? In matterof-fact responses to over 120 questions, both thoughtful and outrageous, modern and historical, Ojibwe scholar and cultural preservationist Anton Treuer gives a frank, funny, and sometimes personal tour of what's up with Indians, anyway.
• What is the real story of Thanksgiving?
• Why are tribal languages important?
• What do you think of that incident where people died in a sweat lodge?
White/Indian relations are often characterized by guilt and anger. Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians But Were Afraid to Ask cuts through the emotion and builds a foundation for true understanding and positive action.
This book answers a lot of questions about Native Americans that I never even thought to ask–everything from economics to education to history to politics to culture. It's amazing (and depressing) how little I know about the present-day lives of the first residents of this country. (In case you're wondering, Treuer, a member of the Ojibwe people, prefers the term "Indian" rather than "Native American," "indigenous people," or "first people," for reasons that–again–never would have occurred to me.)
If you want to learn more about Native Americans/Indians and their culture, perspectives, and frustrations, this book is a great starting point. If any of you have suggestions about books by and about members of native tribes, I would love to hear them!

The View from the Cheap Seats
An inquisitive observer, thoughtful commentator, and assiduous craftsman, Neil Gaiman has long been celebrated for the sharp intellect and startling imagination that informs his bestselling fiction. Now, The View from the Cheap Seats brings together for the first time ever more than sixty pieces of his outstanding nonfiction. Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, this cornucopia explores a broad range of interests and topics, including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the title piece, at turns touching and self-deprecating, which recounts the author's experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
This book offers a collection of speeches, introductions, and articles Neil Gaiman has written. I know some of the authors and awards; others were unknown to me, but they were all pretty interesting. It's amazing how many famous and influential authors Gaiman has interviewed, worked with, or become friends with! I love listening to Neil Gaiman read his own work, so I recommend you listen to the audio book if this collection catches your interest.

White Trash
Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature and scientific theories over four hundred years, Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society––where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility. Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery.
Reconstruction pitted "poor white trash" against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics–-a widely popular movement embraced by Theodore Roosevelt that targeted poor whites for sterilization. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and LBJ's Great Society; they haunt us in reality TV shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty.Marginalized as a class, "white trash" have always been at or near the center of major political debates over the character of the American identity.
I realized after I started listening to this book that the subtitle refers to "400 years of history," and I strongly wish that weren't the case. Although I did learn some new things about the history of class in America, I was not unaware that class is still an issue in our supposedly classless society, and the book seemed to drag on much longer than I thought necessary. The epilogue discusses how the issue of class affects us today, but I wish the whole book had been that, with only a little history interwoven. I know plenty of people have greatly enjoyed this book, and you might too. I just wanted less history and more modern-day application on this topic.

At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State — and she would do it alone.
Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
I finally read this book because my book club was reading it, and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Cheryl faces outer and inner struggles (bears, aching feet, a too-heavy pack, the death of her mother, her divorce from her husband) as she traverses the Pacific Crest Trail. It's an amazingly difficult trek, and it was satisfying to read about how Cheryl overcomes the obstacles that constantly pop up. Despite the questionable and sometimes outright dumb decisions Cheryl makes as she continues her journey, I found myself rooting for her.

Review: Energizing Orange Citrus
Posted: Feb 20, 2013 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Mar 14, 2013 at 11:48 AM)Mountain Dew Kickstart is a new caffeinated carbonated beverage from Pepsi that is being offered as a morning beverage and is labeled as a "flavored sparkling juice beverage from concentrate." Apparently, adding a small amount of juice (5 percent) to what is otherwise a soda or energy drink makes it okay to drink a product like this at breakfast, right? While this is definitely a questionable move on the part of Pepsi, it seems like a horrible move at a time where social concerns are rising about obesity and energy drink consumption. Beyond that issue, what they've created looks sloppy and tastes like something that has no place in the Mountain Dew family. From a flavor perspective, the Orange Citrus is the better of the two flavors with a pleasant note of orange flavor that is enhanced by the added orange juice as well as added white grape juice. (The fruit punch flavor, on the other hand, tastes like candy). To that end, this is certainly not a bad energy drink or soda formulation, but, again, it seems like a total miss when it comes to crafting something that should be consumed in the morning. It's sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, ace-k, and sucralose, which gives it a moderate level of sweetness and a slight aftertaste. Although we're sure that Pepsi will call this a healthy offering, citing the drink's 80 calories and 20 grams of sugar as being lower than products sweetened exclusively with sugar. On the visual front, we're really disappointed with what they've created; it looks sloppy and hastily thrown together. The word "Kickstart" has been slapped on the can in such a way that feels like a completely separate brand from Mountain Dew. Overall, we're really not terribly fond of this product (in case you couldn't tell) and think that it's a misstep for Pepsi and the Mountain Dew brand.

Hello,I took the alternate trade recommendationWrite puts: If you don't own Western Union and want to write puts for income or to potentially buy shares cheaper, sell to open the May 2012 $18 puts, lately for around $0.80, for a 4.4% yield in four months and $17.20 break-even. Sell one put for every $1,800 you can invest in shares. With the stock trading just south of $18, what do you recommend I do next week prior to expiration date?Regards,R

Tours start any time, as long as it's not too late! Besides exploring food and beverage spots, you can take a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake or the Old Quarter to do some sightseeing with your tour guide - snacks around these popular spots are delicious and definitely worth trying!

When I saw this image, I knew I had to have it. Since it wasn't available in apparel or greeting card format, I bought it as a poster and bought a frame so I could hang it in my room. I had to crop the white border by hand, though. Easier said than done, believe me. But the results are worth it. Rarely have I seen such a splendid combination of innocence and female beauty.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act made necessary and long overdue improvements to the insurance system while also providing incentives to the private sector that help us achieve our goals of healthy aging. With a longtime commitment to seniors' issues, B'nai B'rith considers lifetime access to good health care imperative to ensuring a healthy aging population.
"Access to affordable, quality health care should be a right, not a privilege, and the new law recognizes that," B'nai B'rith President Dennis W. Glick said. "Passed by Congress and signed into law by the president, this measure catches people who were falling through the cracks."
The passage of health care reform last year gave millions of Americans an opportunity to enter a system that for many was previously out of reach.
The law includes such improvements to the system as: free preventive care for Medicare patients (the disabled and people over 65); better coordinated care in Medicare designed to facilitate better health outcomes; relieving the burden of the "donut hole" in Medicare prescription drug coverage that had many seniors paying exorbitant fees for prescriptions; making continued health care coverage possible for more early retirees; ending the outrageous discrimination against older uninsured adults in the private market, and completely ending the discrimination against women of all ages; and expanding Medicaid eligibility for low-income adults to make sure gaps in employment don't lead to gaps in health care, which can have lifetime repercussions.
"The health care reform law was greatly necessary when it passed last year, and the need is still great now," B'nai B'rith Director of Aging Policy Rachel Goldberg, Ph.D., said. "We urge Congress to reconsider any moves to dismantle the measure that finally levels the playing field for so many Americans, especially seniors, in need."
Rather than working to reverse legislation that makes important improvements, we should focus on implementation and making further enhancements wherever possible.

There are times when I will not have enough inventory on hand for you to order the highest quantity of a certain product and receive the discount I offer. This is rare, and I make every effort to avoid this. I do not match the lowest price for these items because the price is based on the quantity sold. If you would like to order more of an item than I currently have in stock, please contact me, and I will give you an estimate of when I will have more inventory so that you can purchase the higher quantity.
❖4- Why are your prices different from another store's?
I do the best I can to offer the largest selection of products at the best prices for my customers. I realize that there will be times when another retailer or wholesaler may have a different price on a product. Many factors affect pricing of products, and these factors can vary among retailers.
❖5- Why has the price of a product changed?
The markets for many products I carry will change over time. With some product lines it becomes necessary to change prices to stay in line with the market. I believe that my prices are competitive and that I offer excellent value for my products. I am always looking for ways to keep my prices competitive and will continue to do so.

If I was chosen as a Monroe-Brown Intern in 2017, will I be able to participate in 2018?
Yes, students are allowed to participate in the program in multiple years if they meet the above eligibility requirements and are selected by one of the participating companies.
How are the interns selected?
Each participating company chooses their interns using their own hiring methods and criteria. Interested students should contact the companies directly and ask them how to apply for a Monroe-Brown Internship.
How much money is awarded in the Monroe-Brown Internship Program?
Students receive at least minimum wage from the company for working a minimum of 400 hours during the summer. Upon completion of the internship, they are then given a $1,000 bonus – $500 from the Monroe-Brown Foundation and $500 from the company. In addition, one payment of $2,500 will be awarded at the end of the semester immediately following the internship. The payment will be made directly to the student's account at their school. Altogether, interns selected to participate in the program will receive $3,500 in scholarship funding plus the hourly wage paid by the employer, totaling at least $6,900.
Why is the scholarship money paid directly to the school and not to the intern?
Upon successful completion of the internship, the employer pays the student a $500 bonus. The Monroe-Brown Foundation then provides a $500 scholarship that must be paid directly to the school into the student's account. Then, one $2,500 payment will also be made to the school in the student's account at the completion of the student's first semester following the internship. This money is paid directly to the school because the Monroe-Brown Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, it cannot provide any funding directly to an individual.
What if my education is already paid for? Will I still receive the $3,000 scholarship?
Yes, each payment of the scholarship from the Monroe-Brown Foundation must go through the school, regardless of whether the student owes money on his or her tuition or if the account is paid in full. Scholarship money will be applied to any outstanding balances or fees in the student's account. In the case that there is no remaining balance to be paid on a student's account, the school should issue a check for the surplus directly to the student.
In addition to the money awarded with this program, what benefits do students receive?
Students chosen to participate in the Monroe-Brown Internship Program will build valuable relationships in Southwest Michigan's business community, not only at their workplaces, but also at program events and activities available exclusively to this group of students. Most importantly, Monroe-Brown internships incorporate hands-on learning of the skills and experience necessary for success in the student's chosen career/industry.

He was a mighty presence when the Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV, a warrior who busted a wedge to make the first tackle that day and went on to make four more. If current coach John Harbaugh is to be believed, even then he was the toughest man in football.
Today O.J. Brigance has limbs that hang limp, his muscles withered. He can move only his lips and eyes and must use a computer to speak. The team's director of player engagement is in his fifth year of battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a lethal and incurable illness.
Yet as his second Super Bowl looms, Brigance, 43, appears stronger than ever, and that lifts the title contenders.
"There aren't enough words to describe what that man means to me and to this team," punter Sam Koch said. "Just seeing 'Juice' here with a smile on his face is inspiring. If I have to choose a word for him, it would be 'powerful.'"

A little more than a year ago, 50 million people lost power during the August 14th blackout in the northeast United States and Canada. Like the Great Northeast Blackout of 1965, this event immediately created a groundswell of activity in government, academic, technical, and public communities. Once the witch-hunt subsided and a scapegoat was identified, most communities settled down and returned to their complacent ways. However, a couple industry groups are out there trying to fight the good fight.
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), an independent, non-profit center for public interest energy and environmental research established in 1973, is one organization that continues to push for a smart, clean power grid for all. In collaboration with more than 200 organizations, EPRI recently released its Electricity Technology Roadmap, an examination of how electricity can serve society in the 21st century. Two of the five "destinations" the report notes as "critical milestones on the path toward achieving a sustainable global energy economy" are strengthening the power delivery infrastructure and enabling the digital society.
EPRI's vision is that "a truly smart power system would include automated capabilities to optimize its own performance, anticipate problems, find robust solutions, and heal itself instantaneously without the need for outside intervention. Such a system would deliver the high-quality power needed by sensitive digital technologies while giving consumers much more control over their energy use."
As an electrical professional and ex-utility engineer, I agree with this assessment. However, some of you may have trouble relating to this and believing this type of system will ever truly exist. In fact, it might just take an organization that's a little closer to home to help push this to reality.
Earlier this month, representatives of the critical power industry announced the formation of the Critical Power Coalition (CPC), a national organization whose mission is to develop common public policy and establish a unified industry voice to ensure the quality, reliability, and continuity of electrical power within critical industries, businesses, and public services. The group's founding members include prominent manufacturers and end-users of critical power products and services.
According to Mark Ascolese, CPC's co-chairman, "While government and public utility companies continue to work on strengthening and improving the grid, companies and government organizations are tasked with designing and managing critical power in their own operations — inside their facilities — and will ultimately need to develop systems and plans to sustain critical operations when the utility grid is unable to provide clean, uninterrupted power."
This brings it down to a level I think we can all relate to: You better take care of number one. Although it's much too early to speculate as to what effect this group will have on our industry, I'm encouraged by its formation and preliminary initiatives.
Although groups like EPRI and CPC continue to swim against the current and fight for you, the bottom line is that if you plan on surviving in this new digital economy, you and your customers are most likely better off managing your own critical power needs.

WASHINGTON — Louisiana victims allegedly bilked of their savings by Texas financier Robert Allen Stanford are getting increasingly frustrated by the delay of an agency deciding whether they can recoup some of their losses.
The Securities Investor Protection Corp. announced earlier in the year that it would decide by Sept. 15 on whether to make about 1,800 Louisiana investors — mostly from Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Covington — eligible to receive at least part of their savings back.
The agency that stands as the U.S. investors' first line of defense is two weeks late in meeting its deadline.
And those who sank money into Stanford's operation are getting increasingly nervous.
"Everyone is just desperately watching it," said Jean Anne Mayhall, founder of the Louisiana Stanford Victims Group.
SIPC chairman Orlan Johnson said the organization needs more time because of the complex issues in the Stanford case.
Stanford stands accused of bilking investors of $7.2 billion, including $1 billion in Louisiana, charges he denies.
"We fully appreciate the gravity of this matter and remain committed to reviewing it thoroughly and with all deliberate speed," Johnson said in a statement.
That isn't soothing investors such as Pete Verbois, a 66-year-old former Exxon Mobil worker who lost about $650,000 with Stanford. Even if SIPC makes a decision, it will be awhile before any victims receive their money, Verbois said.
"It's going to be a lot of red tape before they cut a check," said Verbois, of St. Francisville. "It's pretty frustrating."
In June, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission determined that victims of Stanford should be eligible to recoup some of their losses from the SIPC's special fund created by Congress. The SEC has threatened to sue SIPC if it decides otherwise.
The SIPC fund is replenished by member financial institutions. Federal law allows for each victim to receive up to $500,000 of their losses.
A source of frustration among the Stanford investors is that SIPC paid back $732.6 million to victims of convicted Wall Street swindler Bernard Madoff, Mayhall said.
SIPC has denied paying Stanford victims, saying that unlike in the Madoff case, investors actually received certificates of deposit, even though they eventually lost their money when the CDs became worthless.
"We have had to fight every step of the way for over two years to be granted the same coverage that Madoff victims received in two weeks," Mayhall said.
Mayhall said she contacted SIPC, which meets four times a year, and was told that its next scheduled meeting is in December. She said an agency representative told her that the organization will make a decision before then.
U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, isn't surprised by the SIPC delay, he said. The case is complex, with investors living as far away as South America, he said.
It took months for the SEC to make its determination too, Cassidy said.
"We all want the decision to be made yesterday," Cassidy said. "On the other hand, it's a pretty complicated case. It's not to excuse it, it's just to understand it."

Comedian Tracy Morgan isn't satisfied with legislation that will strengthen current gun control laws.
He wants them banned entirely.
The former 30 Rock star, who visited D.C. over the weekend for the White House Correspondents Dinner bash, told PJ Media reporter Nicholas Ballasy why he wanted to have all guns made illegal.
"I mean, if we could get guns under control, if we could get rid of them, I'm with all of that. I've had a lot of friends that have died violently from guns. Of course. I hope that wasn't a booby trap question," Morgan said at a Creative Coalition event launching White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend.
"Of course I want to get rid of guns. My father fought in the Vietnam War and he forbid us to have guns when he came home when we were little, so yes."

Olaf Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build is dedicated to those who like to get down and dirty and hate micro-damaging in fights.
Ghost can be played offensively or defensively, and ignition is a solid bet against Tyran, and any player who tries to get away with low health.
Most prefer to build Olaf in terms of beefing up the health and health regeneration. I like to grab life-stealing off the start - this allows you to be a little more involved when fighting. Olaf's innate ability increases his attack speed inversely proportionate to the amount of life he has lost; this means that the amount of life you steal is exponential (the more life you've lost, the faster you life-gain, meaning at low health you sometimes reach a point where you're gaining more life than they're dishing out). The item's life-steal entwined with Vicious strike gives you about 25% life-steal (after a bit of levelling).
Speed is always a problem when it comes to battle, so I like to get movement +3 as quickly as I can (and later the ice-mallet to slow movement).
I did a half-***ed job writing the skill sequence, but my logic is that when levelling, you should follow this hierarchy: Ragnarok > Reckless Swing > Vicious Strike > Undertow
The point of this build is that it lulls your opponents into a false sense of security - they see your health going down in marginal chunks, but they may not realize your attack-speed curve.
The weaknesses of this build are tanks and stunners.

Why do parents expect to pay the entire bill for college? Often, parents tell us that they want their kids to apply for scholarships and are frustrated, if that doesn't happen. Yet, they'll move forward with paying for college.
Is it a parents' responsibility to ensure the bills are paid for college, without at least a shared understanding by the kid? What, if any, consequences are there when parents pay the college bills and kids don't feel the weight (or as much of the weight) of the payments?

Criminals to face legal aid ban
Convicted criminals would be barred from claiming legal aid to fund cases involving complaints about the prison system under plans announced by the Government.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said he had been "appalled" that taxpayers' money was being used to allow prisoners to bring "unnecessary legal cases" which could be dealt with by the Prison Service's internal complaints system.
Announcing a consultation on the plans, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said they would annually save £4 million and cut the number of cases brought by prisoners by 11,000.
The proposal comes days after reforms to legal aid came into effect as the Government moves to reduce its £2.2 billion legal aid bill by £350 million.
Mr Grayling said: "I have been appalled that taxpayers pay millions of pounds every year supplying lawyers for prisoners to bring unnecessary legal cases. The vast majority of these types of complaint can and should be dealt with by the Prison Service's complaints system. After years spiralling out of control, the amount spent on legal aid for prisoners is being tackled. Legal aid must be preserved for those most in need and where a lawyer's services are genuinely needed."
The plan would cut access to legal aid for cases such as a prisoner appealing against the category of prison they are held in, a decision to move them to a different section within a prison or taking legal action over issues such as visits or correspondence, the MoJ said.
The proposals will be included in a consultation on changes to legal aid to be published shortly, a spokesman said. Currently there is an internal prison requests and complaints system and on top of that an Independent Prisons and Probation Ombudsman to which appeals can be made. Cases where prisoners are appealing against a sentence or where their actual detention is being reviewed - such as at a parole hearing - would still receive legal aid, the MoJ said.
Andrew Neilson, director of campaigns at the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "The Government's proposals to further curtail legal aid for prisoners are profoundly unfair and will have negative consequences for society as a whole. The misuse of solitary confinement can exacerbate mental health problems and lead to lost lives. Access to behavioural programmes or help with resettlement can mean the difference between a prisoner going on to change their life for the better or to reoffend.
"An internal complaints system is no replacement for external scrutiny by the courts, while the already stretched Prison Ombudsman does not have the power to provide meaningful redress. Without prisoners being able to access legal aid, which has already been restricted to prevent frivolous claims, we may see a collapse in justice in the very place where it should be paramount - within prison walls."
Juliet Lyon, director of the Prison Reform Trust, said: "It's important that the Justice Secretary is opening a consultation rather than, as it might sound, presenting a fait accompli. While no one would support vexatious use of the law, when it comes to people deprived of their liberty and held by the state you do need safeguards to ensure that our prison system is fair, decent and open to legitimate challenge."

In one of his strongest attacks against the U.S., Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told President Barack Obama to ?go to hell.? Photo: Getty Images
PHILIPPINES President Rodrigo Duterte has arrived in Beijing with a "make friends, not war" message for China.
Duterte — dubbed The Punisher — has embarked on a four-day visit to the country, aimed at engaging in dialogue and improving diplomacy between the two countries.
He has brought hundreds of businessmen with him, and local media reports deals worth billions of dollars are expected to be announced during the trip.
Shortly after arriving in Beijing, Duterte stressed the South China Sea dispute was "not on the agenda", despite the conflict being a key source of tension between the two countries.
"It might crop up but it is going to be a soft landing for everyone," he told reporters. "No impositions."
That said, Duterte's arrival comes shortly after he publicly said the Philippines is willing to hold joint military exercises with China and Russia.
During an interview with Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television earlier this week, the controversial Philippines leader was asked if he could consider joint military drills with the opposing countries.
"Yes, I will," he responded. "I have given enough time for the Americans to play with the Filipino soldiers."
In a recent interview with Xinhua, China's state news agency, Duterte stressed he prefers negotiation to confrontation.
"There is no sense in going to war. There is no sense fighting over a body of water," he said. "It is better to talk than war. We want to talk about friendship, we want to talk about co-operation, and most of all, we want to talk about business. War would lead us to nowhere."
He also made it clear he opposed outside meddling in the disputed region.
"We are not interested in allowing other country to talk. I just want to talk to China," he said.
"If we can have the things you have given to other countries by the way of assistance, we'd also like to be a part of it and to be a part of the greater plans of China about the whole of Asia, particularly Southeast Asia.
"All that I would need to do is just to talk and get a firm handshake from the officials and say that we are Filipinos and we are ready to co-operate with you, to help us in building our economy and building our country."
He also stressed he would no longer allow joint exercises with the US, which has traditionally been the country's closest ally.
"This will be the last. It has been programmed," he said.
Meanwhile China's nationalist newspaper The Global Times has just published a new editorial urging Beijing to accept Duterte's "olive branch".
The article praised the Philippines president for "taking the public's attention from the South China Sea back todomestic governance", and "riling the US" by insisting on a more independent foreign policy.
"We call on China to grasp this major strategic opportunity brought by the Duterte administration," the editorial reads. "Washington's strategy of rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific has increased China's diplomatic and economic costs in Southeast Asia, and it is necessary for Beijing to reciprocate Manila for its clear stance of not willing to serve the US' China strategy.
"It is more effective to address the disputes in a friendly, instead of a confrontational way. China should make this clear to the world to win more respect in the world."
Following his arrival, Beijing praised the Philippines president for bringing damaged ties back to "the track of dialogue and cooperation".
But a recent survey has found little support for the emerging superpower among Filipinos.
The September 2016 Social Weather Survey (SWS) examined the population's level of trust towards seven nations, including the US and China.
The US scored the highest trust rating of +66, which the SWS deemed 'Very Good', despite a six-point decline from June.
Australia came second at +47, followed by Japan at +34.
China actually scored the lowest trust net rating of all seven countries at -33, which the SWS deemed 'Bad'.
Judging by his amicable stance, however, Duterte's priority is not to reflect the Filipino population's sentiment.
His move towards China is just the latest blow the leader has dealt to the US. Earlier this month, he made global headlines after he publicly deemed President Barack Obama a "son of a wh*re". He was later quoted as telling the US leader to "go to hell".
A month ago, Duterte ordered all US Special Forces to vacate the southern island of Minanao, where they had been assisting the country's military in the fight against an extremist militant group.
Duterte said America's presence in the region only worsened the situation, declaring: "For as long as we stay with America, we will never have peace".
He also ordered an end to the joint US-Philippine patrols of the South China Sea, expressing a desire for the country to move away from the US and towards independence.
At the same time, he said he was considering purchasing weapons and military equipment from two nations "where they are cheap and where there are no strings attached and it is transparent".
According to Bloomberg, the most likely buyers would be China and Russia — the very nations the Philippines is in conflict against over territorial disputes.

Angels have a curious history, and they underwent some remarkable transformations. The oldest texts have them to be just "messengers", human in appearance and nature, bring a news about something that is about to happen. A messenger, that is the literal meaning of the word.
Later Jewish texts suggest that angels are more or less the "court" of God, his entourage. As such they are sent to deliver a message, but also sometimes to heal people or even to fight a battle. In Rabbinic tradition, angels also are a representation of ORDER: they are assigned "ranks" in a hierarchy, for example. Heaven is becoming rather like earth: with rulers and ruled.
The Christians more or less accepted the Jewish tradition, but their contribution is to give "angels" an IMAGE, quite different from the Jewish one. In Judaism, little is said about appearance of angels, and in many biblical passages they are implicitly described as PEOPLE. The townsfolk of Sodom want to meet the angels, talk to them, share a meal with them, have a good look at them. In Christianity the angel is acquiring a body plan different from humans. He is represented as half animal half human.... a human with bird wings most commonly, but also, as the early Christian mosaics in Ravenna show, sometimes hybrids with other animals, e.g. half bull or half lion....
This development can be explained by the fact that early Christianity originated in the Eastern ROMAN empire, which had many deities which were such hybrids, most being imports from Babylon... Rather than consigning all these to "false gods" or "superstition", some of the old, insulted gods became subordinate beings in the new Christian universe. So the Christian "angel" really is a mixture of Jewish "angels" and old, demoted gods. Hence the wings.
Mohammed never got to question this development. The Islamic "angel" is essentially the medieval Christian one, but he extended some aspects showing even more clearly the background he was using:
He specifically mentions angels for particular PURPOSES. Bring a message is largely Gabriel's job, then there are angel recording good and bad deeds, and also an angel of death.
This is almost re-creating the ROMAN pantheon: a "main" deity with power to judge and punish and many minor deities who have specific jobs: a god of war, of love, of trade, of wisdom, of death, of this that and the other. The only difference is that these beings are now "angels" not "gods".
It is also significant that Mohammed wrote himself into the hierarchy: He called himself a "messenger", the word once reserved for "angel". Because it seems, the "angel" franchise has broadened in Mohammed's universe, there was room again for the "messenger" the angels started out to be when they first appeared in writings.

NY Legislature votes to toughen pet 'lemon' law
Eighteen other states have similar laws
NY Legislature votes to toughen pet 'lemon' law
Eighteen other states have similar laws
New York is trying to make it easier to return a sick pet in hopes of cracking down on puppy mills.
The legislature has voted to strengthen the "pet lemon law" which requires pet sellers to pay for treatment, reimburse the buyer, or provide a replacement if a pet was sold with a serious illness or defect.
The change will give pet owners six months to detect problems, rather than the current 14 days, and aims to put a bite into unscrupulous puppy mills.
Twenty other states have similar laws.
Assemblywoman Amy Paulin says the measure adopted last week aims to discourage pet shops and other retailers from buying from massive breeding operations that traffic in pets with serious health problems that show up only after a pet joins a family.
