Posted on 06/23/2013 8:57:28 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax
The next time we hear about a conservative college professor forcing his/her students to support a political position will be the first time such news comes to us. Pulling stunts like that is the province of the Left.
Like most people of the Left, college professors are cowards and bullies who will do anything to force Americans to support their causes. Leftist college professors have created a hostile environment in our college classrooms.
From first-hand experience I know this has been the case for at least forty years. Being one of only three straights (of 25 students) in a cynically labeled English Lit course taught by a Black Lesbian was not a pleasant experience.
Last year a Leftist professor in Florida forced his students to...

Every conservative student should have the site bookmarked.
Holy smokes. The posting just above this one is about muslims in prison bullying inmate into joining their faith, or else. Is there any difference in the professors using their power over the students?
If students of conscience would stand up to these leftist/progressive so called professors, they could start getting rid of them.
One thing I found out quick on any college campus is that a tenured position is a popularity contest, has nothing to do with competence. This is particularly true in the soft courses.
I understand that these kids want to graduate; but a boycott of bad teachers is a very effective weapon, particularly when you are talking about the students or their parents money.
That title makes it sound like the Constitution is subservient to criminal law.
Conservatives MUST do four things:
1) Close down all government K-12 indoctrination collectives. Remove your own children immediately. Remember that most private school teachers were, and are, trained by Marxist Borgs in Marxist Borg colleges of education.
2) See that all children in the U.S. have access to a private and **conservative** education ( preferably NOT based on the Prussian model of schooling.)
3) Lobby **vigorously** to defund state run colleges and universities. Cease sending donations to Marxist dominated colleges and universities and encourage others to do the same.
4)The **less** time spent on college campuses the better! Charles Murray is RIGHT! We need **private** certifying exams for all individual subjects starting in the first grade. Most of the work done in the U.S. historically NEVER required any college attendance. Literacy and numeracy was sufficient. Except for a very very very few professions college attendance is not needed and with qualifying exams even these students in the professions could spend less time on campus.
Sometimes you have no choice. You have to take the fluff because you need so many credits to fill up your degree.
I agree - that picking the 'least bad' courses is the way to go, but we still need to get a degree. The purpose of school is to get that little piece of paper which the left can't take away.
Academia is where the left dominates and begins its propoganda on the American public. It starts from elementary school all the way through to college. I went to high school during the Reagan years and every social sciences teacher I had hammered him personally and politically,and I lived in a state that President Reagan took twice by over 60% in his elections. The left knows where to strike and academia plus the media are where they staked their flags and frankly they've had decades of almost unopposed opposition from conservatives and non-liberals. Rooting them out completely will never be accomplished. Sadly, conservative ideas and principles are not articulated very well by our side. Our politicians, with rare exceptions, don't do a very good job of it. We can't rely on just Rush, Levin, Savage, and local radio hosts to spread the word. If I'm judging things as they stand today I'm not hopeful for the future of our country.
"We need **private** certifying exams for all individual subjects starting in the first grade. Most of the work done in the U.S. historically NEVER required any college attendance. Literacy and numeracy was sufficient. Except for a very very very few professions college attendance is not needed and with qualifying exams even these students in the professions could spend less time on campus."
The problem is the hiring structure. If conservative students had a pipeline direct into teaching positions for conservative institutions, then much of this nonsense could be bypassed.
Fifty years ago I was a Political Science major at a highly esteemed east coast university. This crap was going on even then, so it is not a new phenomenon. I haven't been back for forty five years and have no intention of attending my fiftieth reunion. I can't remember the last time I gave them any money. When I hear someone is interested in the school I make an attempt to dissuade them.
1) The hiring structure:
How about starting with their own businesses? Use SAT and ACT scores and internships to find motivated and capable employees.
2)The education pipeline:
Abolish the "pipeline"! Let's work to demolish the entire idea of the Prussian-model, brick and mortar, and factory-model school.
It can be done (I'm a private school teacher and run my own tutoring business).
But, my peers are all substantially ahead of me in both pay and hours.
Some are willing to make these sacrifices, others are not. If we want young people, especially young men who we would need for such a scheme, we have to offer them something they aren't getting elsewhere. Either steady work or pay. Until then we aren't going to see it happen.
This began in earnest in the late 1960s and early 1970s, during the Vietnam War.
One of the great fears of young men during that time was the lie that unless they had one of any number of deferments, that at any moment they could be "drafted, sent to Vietnam, and diiiieee!"
The truth was anything but that. The vast majority of soldiers wounded and killed in Vietnam belonged to combat branches in "hot" or "medium" combat zones. These were a tiny minority of all soldiers in Vietnam, must less the majority of all US soldiers, who remained in the US or went to Europe.
Even more, any soldier of good character, in a combat unit who wanted to reenlist and stay with his unit, would get that slot, so the unit would get no replacement. It was not uncommon for soldiers to stay on the front for three or four tours.
By the time of Vietnam, the ratio of combat support and combat service support personnel to combat personnel was about 15 to 1.
In any event, back in the US, radical professors would sometimes blackmail their own students with the refrain: "Unless you go to the anti-war demonstration, you will fail this class, lose your deferment, be drafted, and be sent to Vietnam and diiiieee!"
Students, already frightened a lot by the media, and tantalized by the numerous draft deferments offered by congress, were psychologically brow beaten.
The Tet Offensive, in January of 1968, caused by the last ditch effort of the Viet Cong, who had almost been destroyed by the Phoenix Program, effectively wiped them out, but was declared a huge defeat for the US by the media, starting with Walter Cronkite. From that point on, the Democrat party and the media did everything in their power to undermine the war effort.
This gave campus radicals everything they needed to create chaos. So from then, until president Nixon ended the draft in January of 1973, America was effectively in a Civil War between a tiny number of radicals supported by the media and the Democrats, with passive support from terrified young people.
The radicals were already losing, because after the Kent State incident, a lot of the impulse to radicalism ended, because the mood was that the government had finally lost patience with the radicals.
The end of the draft killed the anti-war movement. All that was left were universities filled with a new generation of leftist professors. And there they remained.
I hear you. I went to college in the 60s, which is when and where I started hearing it; but then, even my lesbian department head defended my right to my conservative opinions against the tobacco-stained, greasy Red Diaper socialist history professor who was banging one of the other students (pre-feminism!). The difference was that the nation was solidly, solidly conservative, even though Kennedy had been elected and Johnson was in the White House.
Now, no way. Their "revolution" is well-advanced. But by my reckoning, it only has at most another decade or so to go, since it started in the 30s. The Soviets didn't make it past 70 years, and the Chinese gave way even sooner to free trade; socially, they will change as prosperity enables them. We all need to stay busy keeping the flame for the sake of our children and grandchildren.
University of Colorado regent supports adding conservative professors
A University of Colorado regent suggests that liberal arts departments should recruit more conservative professors to strike a better political balance on the notoriously liberal Boulder campus.
Jim Geddes, R-Sedalia, will likely raise the issue at a Board of Regents meeting this week when campus chancellors for the first time give formal reports about intellectual diversity efforts on their campuses.
A few years ago, the board added political, intellectual and philosophical diversity to its guiding principles, which Geddes says is a directive from the regents to campuses to enhance conservative faculty in departments where they're underrepresented.
Geddes suggests department leaders in liberal arts disciplines should take an honest assessment of their faculty and ask whether major viewpoints are represented. If there are too few conservatives, he suggests they recruit them when positions open up.
"If I were sending one of my children off to college, I'd tell them I want you to go to a university where you are going to hear smart intellectuals on both sides of issues so you can learn for yourself and form your own opinions," Geddes said. "I wouldn't be in favor of sending my child to a purely conservative university. They've already had that course their whole life living with me."
The regents convene for a public meeting Tuesday at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.
Regent Stephen Ludwig, D-Denver, says he doubts it would be legal to ask job candidates about their political affiliation.
"While we need to encourage a diversity of opinion, we have to be smart about that," he said.
The large, peer-pressuring contingent of Baby Boomers just reaching college age at the outset of the Vietnam conflict;
Post-ww2 affluence sending more young people to college AWAY from home, parents and the values they were raised with than ever before;
The completion of the interstate roadways and access to cars and transportation as never before;
The legalization of the Pill and abortion and the launch of Pop Feminism (Ms. Magazine, Bella Abzug, et cetera) during the Vietnam conflict;
An uptick in non-Christians in positions of power actively seeking to water down cultural solidarity;
Ted Kennedy's 1965 immigration bill favoring nonwhite non-Europeans; and
A generalized rage against "the establishment" arising from the Civil Rights movement.
A perfect storm of inducements to youthful gullibility, rage, fear and irresponsibility.

Larry from South Side Sox comparing Alejandro De Aza and Juan Pierre:
In just a bit over one-third of the plate appearances, De Aza has already produced more extra base hits. He's 60% of the way to Pierre's walk total. He's more than halfway to Pierre's stolen base total. He's more than halfway to Pierre's runs scored total.
Very few knowledgeable people thought Juan Pierre should be batting leadoff everyday for the White Sox. This just goes to prove they were right. De Aza has been one of the Sox 3 or 4 best hitters this season, but besting Pierre doesn't mean a lot.

Using New Media to Understand 19th-Century Literature
Story posted November 20, 2003
The Internet might not seem an obvious tool to use in helping students learn about 19th-century British literature, but it made sense to Mark Phillipson, visiting assistant professor of English.
Phillipson spent several years both teaching English and working on Web content in Silicon Valley. While there, he noticed how interested and engaged his students were when using new media, so he saw the Internet as a way to get Bowdoin students involved in a course.
"I'm trying to get into the trenches with them," he said, "and give them a chance to do something with new media that isn't just passive consumption."
He also saw the potential to help students understand the Romantic writers through their use of the technology: in dealing with the excitement and anxiety created by new technology — the Internet — students could better understand the feelings Romantic writers had toward new printing and distribution techniques enabled by the industrial revolution.
"I wanted the students to experience a position they were studying," Phillipson said. "I wanted them to ponder a connection between the two times."
He approached the information technology staff and asked for a custom built Web site so the students could write essays, analyze poetry and comment generally on the authors and their work — all online. He asked for a site for eight students that was easy to post to, that made it easy to link between different pages, and that would reward students for their interactivity.
Their response: "What you want is a wiki."
Wiki is a type of open source software that Bowdoin's information technology staff were able to customize for Phillipson's needs. Wiki Web sites are collaborative, which means that they depend on their users to build them and to help them evolve.
"They involve a good deal of trust," Phillipson said.
The reason is that on most Wikis, anyone can edit the text, add new text, post a link, or otherwise alter the site. The IT staff made a few changes to Phillipson's site, so that the text couldn't be changed by just anyone. They created a password system so that only Phillipson and the students in the course could make changes, but trust was still key, since any student could add to or alter any other student's entry.
One of the challenges for students was becoming comfortable with the technology. They had pressure to post several assignments a week, which required a great deal of attention and work. They knew that the work they were doing could be seen by anyone in the world with an Internet connection.
"They had a sense of the responsibility of that, the enormity of that," Phillipson said.
In the end, the technology worked well with the class, helping them learn about Romantic literature and relate to the time in which it was written, but also giving them the chance to use skills usually untapped in an English class and helping them build strong relationships with each other and with Phillipson.
"I learned a lot about romanticism; I learned a lot about my students, and I learned a lot about myself as a teacher," he said.
Just as the Internet created new paths for information, advances in printing and marketing in the early nineteenth century opened up authors' work to audiences they had never even considered before. Along with this came anxiety about what Phillipson called "uncertain control" over one's own words because of increased literacy and the availability of books to groups that hadn't previously had that access.
Lord Byron, one of the writers the students studied, struggled with trying to publish his work from a distance.
He learned to submit to a process beyond himself in transmitting the words through the post to a publisher, to be mass produced for an audience he didn't know and couldn't control. He expressed in his poetry his faith that people would be able to understand what he meant even though he was separated from them.
The students in Phillipson's class also had uncertain control over their words because once they'd published their work on the Internet, anyone in the world could read it. They had to trust that their words would find their audience and be understood, just as the Romantic writers did.
"This is something that's exciting, I think, as well as anxiety provoking," Phillipson said. "What I wanted to have students taste was the exhilaration of that process as well."
There were benefits and challenges for both Phillipson and his students.
- The multimedia aspect encouraged creativity, allowing the students to create graphical renditions of poetic text and to scan in photos and drawings to enhance their essays.
- It allowed for more frequent, shorter expression of ideas than normally provided in a course: Students could post something as short as a sentence or a paragraph if they had something they wanted to say, rather than having to write a 5-page paper.
- The collaborative nature of the site gave students a sense of ownership.
- It also kept them engaged with other students. In fact, the students began citing each other's entries on the site.
- It helped keep the students focused and their writing specific.
Phillipson said the tool was easy to use, but there were some downsides
- After a while, he started to feel a little flooded with the quantity of entries posted to the site. He eased the pressure a little by giving specific assignments and telling the students which ones he would be looking at when grading. (Even with specific assignments, though, the students were interested enough in the material that they did much more writing than he'd asked for.)
- The initial posting of text for the students to comment on was a tedious process, since Phillipson had to type it all in himself. He was also the only person with delete privileges, so deleting students mistakes could get time consuming.
- There was a degree of nervousness in using the software because open source software is always in development and can be prone to glitches — but the nervousness turned out to be unwarranted in this case.
In the end, though, the project was worthwhile, and Phillipson plans to do something similar in another class. Plus, he said, it was fun.
"I'm very proud that Bowdoin did something like this. I think it's a good representation of Bowdoin," he said. "Something like this came together here, and really only could come together here."

Milan vice-President Adriano Galliani will meet with Antonio Candreva's agent to discuss a possible move.
Il Tempo have claimed that the Rossoneri are keen on the 26-year-old and will look to make a move within the next few weeks.
Negotiations may take longer than usual however, because the Italy international is currently owned by both Udinese and Lazio.
The Zebrette and the capital club both own 50 per cent of the 26-year-old, which means Massimiliano Allegri's men will have to agree fees with the duo.

Hockey commentator Don Cherry came out swinging Tuesday after a news release incorrectly claimed that an $8-million mansion up for auction was once owned by the Coach's Corner star.
The news release — issued by BuzzPR for the company's client, Ritchies Auctioneers — announced Ritchies would later this month auction off "Don Cherry's former residence." The news release described the property as a sprawling, 10,500-square-foot mansion in Mississauga complete with a tennis court and a 2.5-acre lot.
The news release further described the property — located at 2901 Mississauga Rd. — as having 12 bathrooms and overlooking the Credit River ravine. The release said a Ferrari, fine jewelry and designer handbags were also part of the auction.
Included in the news release was a link to a video tour of the property on YouTube.
The problem was the house was never owned by Cherry. BuzzPR, on behalf of Ritchies, has since issued a retraction.
"Ritchies and BuzzPR would like to apologize to Mr. Cherry, his family and the media for any inconvenience this discrepant information may have caused," it reads.
The retraction said information about the house was provided to BuzzPR "by the trusted owner of the home, and was presented to be factual and was provided for publicity around the sale of the home."
Cherry, never one to mince words, vented about the mix-up on Twitter.
"Pretty low for an auction house to use my name to sell a house," he said in one tweet "People need to check their facts. I have never lived in the house."
"It's ridiculous for anyone to think that I would live in a 10,500-square-foot home," he said.

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Arthritis is the name for a set of conditions that cause inflammation of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune type of joint inflammation in which the body's immune system attacks its own joints, causing swelling and stiffness. This can lead to joint damage, chronic pain, and eventually loss of joint function.
Rheumatoid arthritis usually affects the hands, feet, hips, knees, and elbows on both sides of the body but it can affect any joint and may even affect other body organs. Rheumatoid arthritis is an ongoing condition for which there is no cure but early treatment can limit joint damage and allow rheumatoid arthritis sufferers to live long, productive lives.
Rheumatoid arthritis affects 1.3 million Americans and is two to three times more common in women than in men. People of all ages may be affected by rheumatoid arthritis but the disease usually begins between the ages of 40 and 60. When RA occurs between the ages of 6 months and 16 years it is called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is not a normal consequence of aging and is not caused by excessive wear-and-tear on joints.
Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
- joint pain and tenderness
- joint swelling
- morning stiffness that lasts at least 30 minutes
- loss of energy
- low-grade fever
- weight loss
- fatigue
- loss of appetite
- dry eyes and mouth
- red and puffy hands
- firm bumps of tissue under the skin on your arms and hands (rheumatoid nodules)
One of the main features of RA that differentiates it from other types of arthritis is that the joint stiffness is worst in the morning after waking. When symptoms of RA first begin, they tend to affect your smaller joints first: those of the wrists, hands, ankles and feet. As the disease progresses, larger joints become involved such as the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, jaw and neck.
Another feature of RA is that symptoms tend to come and go: periods of severe symptoms called flare-ups or flares may alternate with periods of remission.
Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system, the body's defense against invading viruses and bacteria, starts to attack the membranes that surround the joints called the synovium. Immune system cells attack these tissues causing inflammation, swelling, pain, and stiffness.
While it is clear that an autoimmune reaction causes rheumatoid arthritis, it is not clear what causes that reaction to occur in certain people and not others. It is likely that several factors interact to cause the disease including genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors such as exposure to certain viruses.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk Factors
- Sex: Women are two to three times more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than men.
- Age: Rheumatoid arthritis occurs most commonly between the ages of 40 and 60.
- Family history: If a family member has rheumatoid arthritis you are at increased risk of the disease. However, the disease is probably not inherited directly; instead you can inherit a predisposition to developing rheumatoid arthritis.
- Smoking: For unknown reasons, smoking cigarettes increases your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
How do I Know if I Have Rheumatoid Arthritis?
One of the hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis is that symptoms develop slowly over weeks or months. Early symptoms usually include fatigue and stiffness upon waking in the morning, especially in the small joints of the hands and feet. If you suspect you may have rheumatoid arthritis, see a doctor right away to be tested. Studies show that the earlier you start treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, the better your outcome will be.
When you visit the doctor: He or she will likely ask about your history of symptoms and about your family history of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases such as lupus and multiple sclerosis. The doctor will also do a physical examination of your joints. He or she may also recommend additional laboratory tests to determine if you have rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatments
Several medications have been recently developed that can help manage the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis allowing most patients to live productive and relatively pain-free lives.
For short-term relief of acute inflammation and stiffness, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and celecoxib can be used. Also, corticosteroids such as prednisone and methylprednisolone can be used to reduce acute inflammation and pain, but cannot be used for long periods due to serious side effects and decreased efficacy.
In addition to the medications mentioned above for treating acute symptoms, most people with rheumatoid arthritis also take some type of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). When used in the early stages of the disease, these drugs can help slow disease progression and help prevent new joints from becoming involved.
Physical and occupational therapy may also help improve symptoms while assistive devices can help take the stress off of some joints. In some cases when joint damage is severe, surgery may be an option to help correct deformities and restore some motion to the joint.
Can I Prevent Rheumatoid Arthritis?
There is no known way to prevent rheumatoid arthritis from occurring and the only risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis that you can control is smoking. However, if you do start having symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, you can prevent permanent damage to your joints by seeing a doctor right away and starting treatment.
When to seek medical care: If you experience persistent discomfort and swelling in multiple joints on both sides of your body that does not go away or seems to get worse over time, contact your doctor to be tested for rheumatoid arthritis. The earlier you start treatment, the less likely you are to have permanent joint damage. If you have been diagnosed with RA already and you have a flare-up of your symptoms or experience side effects of your medication, talk to your doctor right away.

EASY 5 (The Ferro Family)
Volume 5 (final book) in the new series by New York Times Bestselling Author H.M. Ward
After the death of her twin, Joselyn Ferro decides to make radical changes to her life. She's done with loser boyfriends who only her for her body and the billions she'll inherit. It's time to start over.
The only problem is her family. She's a Ferro, the only woman of her generation in a family filled with strong, alpha men. They spell it out for her: NO career and NO getting caught with anything between her legs–whether it's a cello or a lover.
Determined to begin again, Joselyn grabs a fake name and a new look, packs up her musical talent, and heads straight to the New York Symphony. A bit of luck combined with a fluke lands her a coveted seat in the cello section.
Her best friend hooks her up with an easy date, the perfect type of man candy to celebrate her newfound freedom. But when things get hot and heavy, Joselyn realizes she went home with the wrong guy. She bolts spewing lame excuses, terrified he'll blab to the press.
The next day, as Joselyn takes last chair in a section full of men. When she glances up to meet her new conductor she sees the man from the night before. If he recognizes her and figures out who she really is, her new life is over before it has a chance to begin.

XY, XX, or Undeclared: Gender Identity and Children
"Your little girl is so cute", I get this about twice a day. Most of the time my cursory response is an appreciative "thank you" but if I have the time and am not trying to stuff my child into a car seat or avoid life-threatening peril I will correct these well-wishers by saying "thank you, and she is a he." I am rarely bothered by this (sometimes puzzled, but rarely bothered) and figure that my blond, curly-haired toddler son is just that damn cute that he transcends the limitations of boy cuteness and has jumped into a whole other gender quotient of cute.
I reflected on this common occurrence recently when I happened upon the news/social experiment happening in Sweden concerning one young couple and their toddler of uncertain gender. The parents in question are electing to raise their child (going by the gender, and even species, ambiguous name of "Pop") without any clear gender distinction or adherence to any typical gender norms. "We want Pop to grow up more freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset," Pop's mother told a local Swedish newspaper, and she went on to add, "It's cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead."
What this all means for "Pop" and his/her companions, family members, and the like remains to be seen. "Pop", according to the article, sports both girls and boys clothes, and is fully aware of his/her gender, but to everyone else it remains a close kept secret.
While at its core this social experiment seems to be more of an exploit and stunt than a true discipline or benevolent sacrifice for the good of the child. These parents already, no doubt, have countless detractors and critics, and I have no desire to join the fray. With that said, I think there is something genuinely compelling about this particular approach and the obvious nature vs. nurture questions that arise around it. While gender is a biological fact (some in the transgender community would likely argue this point) and not a social or artificial construct, there is little doubt that contemporary society adheres to distinctly rigid ideas of gender conformity (that old "boys will be boys" and "girls are beautiful and sweet" notion of gender identity is still greatly in effect). These relatively unchallenged notions of gender identity (specifically in young boys and girls) often lead to modes of repression (as well as suppression) and imposed limitations without much explanation, rhyme or reason (end product of this is likely pro wrestling and Paris Hilton).
I am confident that you readers out there are holding on to some strong opinions that just want to be liberated right here on the page. Is gender largely a construct or is it simply a biological fact? Are "Pop's" parents visionaries or misguided loons? As a society, are we reinforcing gender stereotypes in an effort to simplify matters for our children or ourselves? Lots of questions here. Feel free to ask more or attempt to answer.

Soap Opera Network is reporting that they have an image captured yesterday of ABC Daytime President, Brian Frons, of what appears to be him chuckling or laughing as he passes by heartbroken and upset soap opera fans, who were outside Lincoln Center at the ABC Upfronts, protesting the decision to cancel All My Children and One Life to Live!
With dedicated ABC Daytime viewers already pushing back on the decision to replace AMC and OLTL with The Chew and The Revolution, this comes across as a untimely reaction from Frons, if this was indeed the case.
Whether he was truly laughing or smiling about the protesters one might never know. But what ever the case, this image is getting fans riled up on the web, once again.

Like salmon returning upstream to spawn, the art cars made a victorious return to Capitol Hill on Friday, on their way to the Fremont Fair.
Art car artists from around the country travel to Seattle to display their cars for several days at Fremont, while making several pit stops and tours around and through the Seattle area.
We were happy to host the welcome party which occurred last night in our usually quiet Capitol Hill neighborhood, where guests dined on pizza and fine boxed wine of a certain vintage.
Saturday and Sunday they'll be displayed on a side street at the Fremont Fair, in all their glory. Make sure you stop by, look at the cars and meet the artists.
(And a special shout-out to all our neighbors. Thanks for not calling the police!)

Dear All,
I've been investigating WSDL 2.0 MEPs.
In the latest
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0: Additional MEPs
) document, I see "In-Optional-Out MEP," "Out-Only MEP," "Robust Out-Only MEP," "Out-In MEP" and "Out-Optional-In MEP"
But I find references around the Internet to other WSDL 2,0 MEPs such as "In-Out" and "In-Only," to name but two. The only reference I can find to these other MEPS in any WSDL specification documentation are ones marked "Candidate Recommendation."
Does this mean this second set of MEPs are not officially part of the WSDL 2,0 specification and never where?
If I dig deeply enough into "In-Optional-Out MEP" would I find that it now includes what used to be "In-Only" and so "In-Only" was deemed redundant?
Thank you for any information and history!

Deleites de la cocina Mexicana
Mexican food, Tex-Mex, Southwestern cuisine call it what you will, the foods that originated in Mexico have become everyone's favorites. Yet as we dig into nachos and enchiladas, many people worry about the fats and calories that traditional Mexican food contains.
Deleites de la Cocina Mexicana proves that Mexican cooking can be both delicious and healthy. In this bilingual cookbook, Maria Luisa Urdaneta and Daryl F. Kanter provide over 200 recipes for some of the most popular Mexican dishes-guacamole, frijoles, Spanish rice, chiles rellenos, chile con carne, chalupas, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, menudo, tamales, and flan-to name only a few. Without sacrificing a bit of flavor, the authors have modified the recipes to increase complex carbohydrates and total dietary fiber, while decreasing saturated and total fats. These modifications make the recipes suitable for people with diabetes-and all those who want to reduce the fats and calories in their diet. Each recipe also includes a nutritional analysis of calories, fats, sodium, etc., and American Diabetic Association exchange rates.
Because diabetes is a growing problem in the Mexican-American community, Deleites de la Cocina Mexicana is vital for all those who need to manage their diet without giving up the foods they love. Let it be your one-stop guide to cooking and eating guilt-free Mexican food.

Haya: You have a job/lifestyle that many people understandably envy. How did you get into this career?
The Cobrasnake: I used to work minimum wage jobs back in high school and i knew then that I needed to try my very best to go from a dead end job to a creative and exciting career with endless opportunities. Photography was my outlet. I started posting photos online over 5 years ago. It's been such an amazing adventure and I am so thankful for all the support I have. The best part about TheCobrasnake is there are no rules. I plan to associate TheCobrasnake brand to many other outlets not just photography… we have only just begun.
Haya: When you're attending events or parties and photographing everything do you ever wish you could just sit back and relax, not having to take photos?
The Cobrasnake: No way! The reason I started this in the first place was to document the amazing creative people in this world from music, fashion, art, ect. I travel the world to discover and expose the things that inspire and excite me. Its what i live for and the deeper I dig the more treasures I find. It makes 14 hour economy flights worth every minute.
Haya: Where do you find all the gorgeous girls you feature on your website?
The Cobrasnake: My bed or my hotel room or my backyard
Haya: Do you ever photoshop anything? It seems like everyone on your site always look perfect.
The Cobrasnake: I wish I had time to use Photoshop. I post on average 100 photos per day. I would drive myself crazy and go blind if I was retouching that many photos…
Haya: Of all the places you've been to, which city is your all time favorite and why?
The Cobrasnake: LOS ANGELES. I was born there and its been really amazing for me. From Santa Monica , to Beverly Hills, to West Hollywood and Hollywood, Downtown, Koreatown, Echo Park -everywhere you go there is something amazing. I live 5 minuntes from a hike which I do almost everyday, I ride my bike to the beach on the weekend, I can eat anything at anytime, the weather is like heaven…and my whole family is there so that's nice too.
Haya: Which city in Europe has the best looking girls & boys?
The Cobrasnake: Well right now I'm on a 3 week Euro tour …so ill have to let you know after the tour.
Haya: What's your favorite restaurant in the world? Tell me where it's located and what kind of food they serve:
The Cobrasnake: BEVERLY HILLS JUICE: On Beverly blvd in Los Angeles- specializes in fresh juice. MOZZA: On Highland and Melrose in Los Angeles- Mario Batali's Italian restaurant.
PF CHANGS: All over the world- amazing Chinese food
PHO CAFÉ: SILVERLAKE –Vietnamese food.
Haya: What's the craziest thing you've seen or experienced since you've started doing this?
The Cobrasnake: Its all a blur.
Haya: I can imagine some of the photos on your website being editorial layouts in a high fashion magazine. Do you have any plans to venture into fashion photography?
The Cobrasnake: Actually I do much more than just TheCobrasnake. I shoot editorial fashion stories for magazines like NYLON, PAPER, ect and I'm really into shooting more commercial stuff like advertising. Also just started this online store selling amazing vintage stuff you should check it out its called TheCobrashop!
Haya: What would you say is your chief characteristic?
The Cobrasnake: I was an EAGLE SCOUT. That's the highest rank in the boy scouts. They teach you to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. I try to do all those things.

An Arctic blast hovered over Wyoming in the middle of the week, plunging temperatures well below freezing. The coldest reported locations in the state so far were Dubois in Fremont County and Grant Village in Yellowstone National Park.
Both reported a numbing 35 below zero, but dozens of locations reported temperatures of 20 below or worse.
In Powell, the low was hit at 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, with a record of 24 below zero, according to Chris Jones, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service. It has been below zero since 7:45 p.m. Monday.
Today (Thursday) should be even worse, if that is possible, according to the forecast. While the temperature may rise to 3 above zero, the windchill is predicted to hit 35 below zero today as the "massive Arctic front" continues to hang over the area, Jones said.
But he said a "gradual warming trend" is on the horizon, with temps in teens and 20s this weekend and a good chance for the high to get above freezing on Monday or Tuesday.
"We're going to try to warm it up," Jones said. "That is the hope."
While it's been teeth-chattering cold, it was worse 25 years ago, he said. February 1989 was a record-setting month, with an average temperature of 9.2 degrees, and average low of 3.4 degrees below zero.
The low hit 33 below on both Feb. 2 and Feb. 5, 1989, Jones said, so no records for all-time lows on specific dates have been set so far this month. However, the "high" on Wednesday was 10 below, and the record for Feb. 5, set of course in 1989, is 9 below.
On Wednesday, a drive through Powell around noon revealed no one was moving around on foot. Local schools remained open during this week's cold spell, but kids haven't gone outside for recesses.
"When it's zero degrees or below — that includes wind chill — the kids stay inside," said Brent Walker, principal at Westside Elementary School.
Walker said kids still get recess time indoors, and that looks different for each class. Some play games or watch a video. He said some students have played chess or participated in reading or math activities this week.
Kids get to choose what they want to do during indoor recess times. "It's unstructured time," Walker said.
At Parkside Elementary, kids have played in the gym during recess or participated in board games and other activities, said Kenny Jones, Parkside principal.
"When it goes on all week, the novelty wears off," Jones said, saying the kids are ready to return to the playground.
"We do give them a break, but it's not quite the same as going outside," he said. "We try to make the best of it."
This school year has seen numerous subzero days and even one day when students were inside because of rain, "which is unheard of," Walker said.
Clark Elementary School had one snow day this school year, but Powell students haven't had any so far. The district rarely cancels school for snow or cold weather.
"It's Wyoming," Walker said.
When kids are outside for recess when it's above zero but still cold, the school helps out kids who don't have warm clothes or gloves, Walker said.
Plumbers were kept running on Wednesday, responding to problems with frozen pipes and malfunctioning furnaces.
"Just heating issues and cold," said Dirk Cozzens of Plumbing Plus. While he did receive a call about a furnace problem, most calls fielded related to frozen pipes.
"Sometimes people aren't as prepared, then something like this happens, you get a little wind, and pipes freeze up," Cozzens said. "The three I did this morning were frozen pipes in mobile homes." "We're trying to get things thawed out and going."
One of those calls was a referral from another plumber who didn't have time to respond, he said. By noon, Cozzens said he was overbooked as well.
Sanders Plumbing also reported receiving numerous calls from people who were having problems with their plumbing or heating — so many calls, in fact, that no one had time to talk about weather-related problems.
At 4-H Plumbing, calls for service related to frozen water lines, broken furnaces or problems with getting enough heat.
"More calls on freeze-ups," said the woman who answered the phone. "Probably double the usual calls, but instead of leaky faucets ... it's freeze-ups."
Wind-blown snow caused a call to the Powell Volunteer Fire Department Wednesday morning when the snow blocked a mesh chimney vent and sent smoke into a Garland-area home. Fire department members were able to quickly unblock the vent and determined the Shalom Lane home was safe, said Fire Chief Joey Darrah. Darrah believed it was only the second time this winter that the department's been called for a chimney problem, which he said is unusually low.
Here's a link to a National Weather Service map of the extreme cold that has settled in the region.

etour | My OHIO Portal
For more than an hour on Friday, attendees gave Benoit a tutorial on Ohio University by noting what they valued, what accomplishments they took pride in, and what issues they were concerned about.
In her brief opening remarks, after praising the hard work of staff and faculty who participated in the three weeks of Bobcat Student Orientation, Benoit shared her intention to survey the academic landscape.
Comparing her project to the 1785 public land survey that established the boundaries for what would become Ohio University, she told a packed room in Bentley Hall that Vision OHIO would be her compass, but she needed their assistance to understand fully the lay of the land.
In a lively conversation that was punctuated by shared laughter, staff and faculty members recounted their appreciation for Ohio University's rich history, its strong sense of community, openness to new ideas and support for students. But Benoit, who started work at Ohio University on July 1, also heard concerns about the budget, staffing levels and the need to improve communication.
Collegiality and a can-do attitude are what make Ohio University unique, said Mark Weinberg, director of the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs.
"You can have an idea here of what you want to accomplish strategically," he said. "The culture supports both innovation and being able to pursue your ideas. I think that's a key component and it's very important to support that."
Sustainability Coordinator Sonia Marcus told Benoit that embracing sustainability has been one of Ohio University's strengths and contributes to the uniqueness of the campus and the Athens community.
"It's a balance," she said. "Before you rush to make Athens a lot like everywhere else, keep in mind how special Athens is."
Budgets -- and the need to do more with less -- permeated many of the comments during the session.
"We don't have enough money coming in every year to cover continuing costs. The budget pressures are serious," said Dawn Weiser, assistant to the senior vice president for finance and administration.
Meanwhile, College of Business IT Support Specialist Adam Yulish said he reaps a good deal of job satisfaction from the autonomy and accountability granted by his college. He said he worries, however, that he might lose both as budgets tighten and the university changes how it conducts its daily business.
"If I didn't have one or the other, I wouldn't be able to do as well as I do," he said.
Benoit acknowledged those concerns, adding that she is counting on the university community to help find solutions to budget issues.
"It is going to be tough, and I'm going to need your help," Benoit said. "We need to think about how we do business and do it in a different way."
Benoit added she would be holding conversations with groups of university constituents over the course of fall quarter. She said she plans to report the initial findings of her survey during Founders Day activities on Feb. 19.
In response to several comments, she also agreed that communication could be improved, and said she hopes to do that during her tenure. Finding the best way to communicate would involve some trial and error.
"I'm going to make mistakes. I know it up front," she said. "But I will work my hardest and try my very best, and I do need your input. I am interested in what you have to say."
Benoit plans to post notes from the forum on her Web site later in the week.

Look in the mirror
Re: "Our gun culture must change," Other Views, Jan. 12:
Mr. Olson is critical of today's "use" of the Second Amendment versus what he sees as the likely intent of the Founding Fathers. He may be right, but doesn't the same likelihood apply to the First Amendment?
It was written when free speech meant posting handbills and shouting from a stump in the town square. Did the Founding Fathers envision an Internet instantly transmitting everything from child pornography to bomb-making recipes? We must be very careful when proposing, re-interpreting or updating the Bill of Rights. Once you open the door, it could be a slippery slope.
Second, why aren't we equally concerned with our "automobile culture" in America? Do we need automobile engines with 300-700 horsepower any more than we need 30-round magazines? Do we need sedans, many of which easily reach 120-130 mph, when, in most states, the speed limit is 70-75, any more than we need semi-automatic weapons?
I'm sure records show the automobile kills far more people in the U.S. than do firearms. Mechanical and electronic speed governors exist; where is the public's — or the politicians' — demand to install them? It would be almost certain political suicide.
The real problem is not the guns, or the cars — or alcohol, or big sodas. It is us.
Pipe Creek
Different times
The U.S. needs more gun regulation now.
This does not mean that the ordinary citizen should not be allowed to own guns, as in other nations including Mexico, where only the police and military are allowed to carry weapons. But we do need stricter background checks, as in Canada.
We can do this without damaging the Second Amendment, contrary to what the NRA and right-wing radio hosts tell you.
Pro-gun people say we need guns to protect ourselves from a dictator trying to take over our nation. To say that restrictions would encroach on our rights is a fallacy. With our democratic form of government, this will never happen, guns or no guns. Besides, does anyone think an AK-47 assault rifle can stand up to a stealth bomber carrying 2,000-pound bombs? Or an armored tank? Or any of the other sophisticated weapons the government has at its disposal?
When the Founding Fathers adopted the Second Amendment, this nation was completely different than it is today. They had muskets, not assault rifles.
If they could see the tragedies happening in this country today, I do not believe the Founding Fathers would oppose stricter gun regulations.
Little angels
The other week the paper had the "cutest" cartoon. A child asked the mother why at the birthday party of Jesus there was only one kid, the little drummer boy. Well, this year there were 20 little ones celebrating with Jesus and each other.
However, these innocent children will not have died in vain. We must change our focus — from the weapons of mass destruction in other countries to the weapons of mass destruction (20 children in a few short minutes) right here in our own country.
We ask these angels to guide our decisions.

'Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains': Exclusive Interview with Colby Donaldson
Tuesday, May 18, 2010
I have been very hard on Colby Donaldson throughout
Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains
. It wasn't until I talked with him today that I understood why he seemed so sad this season, and failed in all of the challenges.
There's a saying that you can't go home again. Like a lot of viewers, I was in awe of Colby's dominance in
The Australian Outback
. He was in a class by himself in the challenges.Ten years later I really wanted to see him dominate again, to prove that Survivors of old could still school the Russells and Coaches of today.
I was shocked when Colby showed up in no condition to beat Chet Welch from Micronesia. He's in his 30s but he acted like he was in his 60s.
I couldn't ask for a more touching explanation than Colby gave me. I love
, but I can easily understand why, compared to
The Australian Outback
, the
of today could seem like the true "Superman in a fat suit," the disappointing imitation. Colby didn't just let the game down. The game let Colby down.
How do you feel about the season now that you've watched it?
I don't have a lot of feelings. I honestly don't.
You didn't seem happy out there. Would that be accurate?
I think it was pretty obvious I wasn't having a very good time. You know? It just wasn't a great experience. There were a lot of contributing factors. It just wasn't a good season. It was a frustrating season.
At what point did you stop having fun?
Unfortunately, I never started. The way the season started, with Stephenie being one of the first ones voted off our beach and Tom going after that, just didn't make any sense. To me, it wasn't a good strategic move for our team to get rid of them. Obviously they were part of my alliance, so I was in trouble from that point forward. The fun kind of left with those two.
Why do you think they decided to get rid of Tom and Stephenie?
This is a discussion I had with Probst after the game. The biggest way the game has changed since I played it is that there's no longer merit given to contributing around camp, providing fish for the tribe, contributing in the challenges or getting along with everybody. None of that matters.
What does?
What really, truly matters now, and trumps all, is having a strong, dominant alliance within your tribe and the game itself. I wasn't on that. I was part of the short straw alliance. The reason Stephenie and Tom was targeted didn't make any strategic sense, except that we weren't part of the big group, the alliance, the numbers. They ultimately didn't want to have to compete against Tom and Stephenie when it came down to an individual game. To me that's just not smart play, and it showed. The Heroes got whipped.
Survival instinct doesn't kick in? People still have to eat and stay warm.
No. No. That didn't play a factor this season. I can tell you for a fact. We weren't catching a lot of fish anyway, because we couldn't go in the ocean to fish. So that wasn't a factor.
Somebody mentioned that on the Reunion Show. Why couldn't you guys go in the water?
The ocean was just horrible. Thank goodness it looks so good on TV, because really it was a complete coral reef where we were, and the water was so turbulent we weren't allowed in the water beyond 20-30 feet off the beach. That's where the fish were and the fishing would have been, and the swimming, and anything like that. You've got to notice too that with six weeks of challenges there wasn't a single swimming challenge. Not one. That's the reason. The water is so bad.
So it was for your own safety.
It was our safety. We were instructed before the game began that we weren't allowed on the reef, and anytime we were that we had to have our shoes on. The reef extended all the way up to our beach. Regardless of where the tide was it was only two to three feet deep all the way out to the edge of the reef, 100-someodd yards out there. There the floor dropped off and that's where the water became so turbulent, so that's where we weren't allowed. There was no place to swim. There was a small little pool - maybe up to our chest - that we could go in to swim. Sometimes if it was high tide we could get in there to bathe and that was it.
Could you go on any adventures on land?
I tried to go around the point of our beach and do some exploring, and I was turned back by production. Around our camp there was a finite amount of space that was all roped off, and we can't go beyond those lines. So it just takes all the adventure away for me.
How big was the area inside the ropes? About a mile?
No, no. It's about 500 yards deep. Yeah, we could probably go about 500 yards into the jungle, off the coast. But the Samoan jungle is so thick it was difficult to do anything there anyway. It was about the same way - 500 yards down the beach on one side, as well. On the other side of our beach we could only go about 50 yards and then it was closed off after that.
I'm guessing at this point you're not going to play a fourth time?
No. I don't know that they'd ever have me back, based on my performance. But it's time to move on, for me.
I expected the show was going to make a big deal out of your history with Jerri, but they never mentioned it. What was the dynamic like between you two?
That's what's unfortunate. Jerri was the only redeeming part of the game for me. We became friends. I really bonded with Jerri considering that we used to go at it and oppose each other. Jerri and I would just peel off during the day, and there was a small fresh water stream. We would go fishing and we were the only ones having any success bringing in fish. And they didn't show any of that. Not a single second.
But no alliance?
We got along great. The problem was that Jerri didn't want to go to the finals with me. She told me that. She was very honest. We were getting along but she said, "Colby, I can't beat you, standing next to you in the finals, so it's not smart for me to align with you in any way." I didn't stand a chance with her.
Do you agree with her perception that if you had made it to the end, the Heroes would have voted for you no matter what?
I don't know. I guess we'll never know. I think I had a pretty good chance, though, yeah. I think it would have worked out well. That's part of the frustration: Knowing that for me [success] came down to my ability to perform in challenges, especially that one Parvati won. That's what's disappointing. I really, really wish I had been able to pull that one challenge out and extend my game a little bit.
You're really not old. Why do you believe you struggled in the challenges?
I don't know. It's very perplexing. Very frustrating, as you can imagine. I couldn't put my finger on it. I couldn't find my rhythm and it just didn't feel comfortable. I was just not performing well and I'm not going to make excuses. It didn't happen.
Do you have athletic hobbies outside the game?
Yeah. That's one reason I love Southern California. I'm always outside. When I got the call [to appear on
Heroes vs. Villains
] about eight weeks out I started training for it. I was in, probably, the best shape of my life. Again, that just adds to the frustration and the perplexing fact that I didn't do well. It sucks.

Orange County Republican Mike Duvall's departure from the cesspool at the State Capitol after he was caught on tape during an appropriation committee hearing bragging about his sexual escapades with a lobbyist for an energy firm barely raised a yawn among Californians who don't expect much anymore from their elected state leaders.
Duvall happens to have served on the utilities and commerce committee which explains why our energy prices are so high. Duvall – who a day after resigning said he didn't really do anything but tell a big whopper to a colleague – also served on the ethics committee. It just re-affirms the futility in letting the foxes guard the hen house and helps make a case for having independent ethics commissions oversee each house of the legislature instead of allowing politicians to police themselves.
At least Duvall didn't do any foot tapping under stalls in the men's bathroom, go swimming fully dressed in the Tidal Basin with a stripper, or hit on boy pages which means he definitely had no chance of ever making his way to serve in Congress. His straight forward tale of infidelity allowing a lobbyist to do what they do best on behalf of their bosses makes him a pure minor leaguer.
Even his explanation was strictly amateur night. He could have come up with something much more creative saying he was stressed and suffering from emasculation by being called a "girlie man" along with the rest of the legislature by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and had to therefore prove to himself that he wasn't.
To be honest, real men don't cheat on their spouses, prey on teen-age pages, or tap their feet in bathroom stalls. And given the political cowardice, shrill name calling, and acting like Monty Hall of "Let's Make a Deal" fame when they're doing the people's business it is hard to believe real men – or women -are serving either in Sacramento or Washington, D.C., these days.
In all fairness to Duvall, his exploits – whether for real or a figment of his imagination – is not nearly as obscene as what was passing as government on Friday in Sacramento as the 119 remaining politicians were busy trying to decide the fate of 800 bills.
That's right, they were considering 800 bills in the expanse of 20 hours that basically will govern and tax Californians. If that doesn't scare the living daylights out of you then nothing well.
The most obscene measure to move through the jam session was penned by state Sen. Mark DeSaulnier, D-Concord, who apparently gets a lot of lobbying - at least with money anyway – from public employee unions to once over taxpayers and local government.
DeSaulnier wants to create state oversight of cities before they can file bankruptcy in the name of trying to "discourage frivolous filings."
It is in response to Vallejo being the third California city ever to file bankruptcy. They did so because union contracts were breaking the city's back financially as revenues dropped.
DeSaulnier should really get a guest spot as a stand-up comedian on the Jay Leno Show. If DeSaulnier and his partners in crime in the state legislature stopped raiding local government agencies for money to cover the mess they make by spending tax dollars like drunken sailors in Sacramento, then there would be no municipal bankruptcies looming on the horizon. Just this year alone DeSaulnier and his buddies ripped off $2 billion in local property taxes and more than $2 billion in local redevelopment agency money.
If they are really worried about frivolous filings and helping cities, then the legislature should keep their hands of local tax dollars and get their own act together.
They claim they are sharing the pain when they are only spreading it by sidestepping the real issues.
Come to think of it, if the entire legislature was doing what Duvall claimed to have been doing and not sticking it to taxpayers and local cities maybe California wouldn't be in the mess they are today.

JK Audio Innkeeper 2 Dual Line Digital Hybrid Rack MountSJKINN2
JK Audio Innkeeper 2 Dual Line Digital Hybrid Rack MountSJKINN2
Innkeeper 2 squeezes two independent digital hybrids in a 1U rack space. The front panel keypad, display, and handset jacks provide easy speed dialing and call setup. Digital hybrids allow you to send signals into the phone line while maintaining excellent separation between your voice and the caller. The balanced XLR output jacks contain only the caller's voice. Digital hybrids connect audio signals to standard analog telephone lines without the transmit / receive crosstalk common to analog hybrids. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) continuously monitors both the phone line and audio signals to deliver excellent separation. This proprietary, dual-convergence echo canceller algorithm can achieve excellent separation, typically exceeding 50 dB, without any setup and without sending a noise burst down the line. The menu driven keypad and back lit display allow you to store 50 phone numbers by name in a phone list. You can also use the display to set features such as the number of rings before auto answer, master send channel selection, and test tone output. An auxiliary telephone jack is provided for each line. The auxiliary telephone is disconnected when you press the �Call" button, and reconnected when you press the �Drop" button. Innkeeper 2 features Auto-Answer/Auto Disconnect for use in IFB and monitoring applications. Call Conferencing is activated by the front panel Conference button or the Remote Interface Unit. The Conference button joins both calls in a 2-way conference when both lines are off hook. Additional options in the configuration menu allow you to tailor the conference feature to your application. These options determine if audio signals on the Send and Caller XLR jacks are mixed or kept separate during a conference. Other applications include: telephone interviews, talk shows, church PA interface, and conference room full duplex applications. *Excellent separation of send and receive audio *Memory / Speed Dial from phone list *16 bit DSP technology *Proprietary auto null algorithm, 50 dB null *XLR line input, one per line *XLR master input sends audio to selected lines *XLR caller output, one per line *Send & Receive level LED *Remote control and LED status indication *Monitor Handset Jacks *Auto answer/disconnect ****Specifications**** *Line Input: (3) Balanced Female XLR, 20k ohms, 500 mV RMS (-4dBu) nom. +10 dBu max *Line Output: (2) Balanced male XLR, 200 ohms 500 mV RMS (-4dBu) nom. +10 dBu max *Handset: Front panel handset jacks biased for electret handset (not included) *Phone Line : (2) RJ11C *Aux Phone: (2) RJ11C *Isolation: 1500 VAC *Ringer: 0.5B REN *Frequency Response: Telephone Side 200 Hz - 3600 Hz *Power: 120-240 VAC power supply (included). *Size: 19" x 7.3" x 1.75" (26.7 x 18.6 x 4.5 cm) *Weight: 7.2 pounds

Before that she served as ABC's senior political editor during the 2006 and 2008 campaigns and spent eight years at This Week as senior producer and then executive producer. Prior to joining ABC, Moseley spent 10 years working in the political unit at CBS News.
"Virginia's arrival is one more piece of excellent news for the CNN Washington Bureau following the launch of our new studios and CNN's election night victory over all of our cable news competition," said Sam Feist, CNN Washington bureau chief in a memo to staff Friday.
Moseley officially starts with CNN the first week of December.

It's not enough that student loan debt is $1 trillion and headed north -- that hasn't stopped the powers that be from tempting the vulnerable with potential traps with offerings all dressed up in the prettiest of wrapping paper.
I just don't get it? Why encourage students drowning in school loan debt to reach for additional credit, for any purpose? In 2009, according to Sallie Mae, on average half of college students had four or more credit cards. That same year, graduating seniors had on average more than $4,100 in credit card debt, up from about $2,9o0 in 2004.
Yet, there are opportunities everywhere. CardHub.com recently released it's 2012 Best Credit Cards for College Graduates. The Journey Student Rewards from Capital One makes the list because it offers 1% cash back across all purchases, as well as a 25% rewards bonus when you pay your bill on time, which works out to be 1.25% cash back when you do the right thing. Then there's the Citi Dividend Platinum Select MasterCard for College Students. You get 5% cash back on utilities and money spent at gas stations, supermarkets, drug stores and convenience stores for the first six months. It also offers 2% cash back on rotating spending categories and 1% cash back on everything else, with no time limit or annual fee. The Discover Open Road Card for Students boasts a 0% introductory APR on new purchases for nine months -- the longest available to students and no annual fee, according to CardHub.com.
For sure the perks are tempting. But truth is, on top of student loan debt, many students are already saddled with credit card debt. Do they need yet another card? Will they spend more than they should in the almighty chase for rewards? You have to notice what's missing on the list -- a 0% transfer balance student credit card. Why not? One could argue that such a card would actually be helpful in managing their finances, if anybody was looking out for their best interest.
I also don't get SmarterBank's recently launched checking account that earns free rewards that help pay down studnet loans. SmarterBank is the brainchild of the folks at SimpleTuition, a student loan comparison company. SmarterBank offers an online checking account, online banking and bill pay, and a SmarterBank Visa Debit card with no monthly fee for active accounts. It offers a network of over 40,000 free ATMs nationwide and is FDIC insured. Banking services are provided by the Bancorp Bank.
The SmarterBucks program automatically makes extra payments to the principal of any student loan, saving borrowers hundreds or even thousands of dollars in interest over the life of a typical loan, is what's being touted. According to the company. "...Students and graduates need tools to help them manage and pay down their debt. We built SmarterBank as a revolutionary way for students and graduates to start chipping away at their student debt," said Kevin Walker, co-founder and CEO of SimpleTuition, in a prepared statement.
But a SmartMoney.com article caught my attention. It pulls the covers off what seems "so promising". According to their analysis, cardholders get 0.5% for rewards for signature-based purchases of up to $100 and 1% on anything over that amount. So truth is, in order to earn enough rewards for you to be able to see any real improvement in your student loan balance you have to spend big. For example, you would need to spend $1,000 to get up to $10 in monthly rewards. What recent college grad needs to be spending $1,000 a month?!
Sorry, but a $10 reward doesn't seem juicy enough to merit shelling out $1,000 a month. Yet on the website, it explains that $10 a month could help you repay your debt 16 months earlier and save up to $1,500. SmartMoney.com says that for the estimated two-thirds of students who graduate college with loans, (that will average nearly $29,000 this year), earning $10 in monthly rewards will shave just five months off their repayment period.
Take into account too, the fact that with the still less than stellar job market many college grads will be challenged to pay off in full the $1,000 they charge monthly. What will accruing interest do to any potential savings on student loans? Then there's the matter of fees, like the $2 you'll get dinged for using an ATM outside of the card's network.
Maybe some new college grads will benefit from these products, but there's also a lot of rope for people to hang themselves, when many are already dangling precariously.

If you decide that you want to get a nursing certificate, then you might want to consider attending one of the 2 nursing schools in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. With an overall population of 16,234 and a student population of 515, approximately 414 of Willow Grove students attend one of Willow Grove's schools that offer nursing programs.
Of the 2 nursing schools in Willow Grove, the largest nursing school, by student population, is Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing. In 2010, approximately 109 students graduated from the Nursing program at Abington Memorial Hospital Dixon School of Nursing.
A total of 189 students graduated with credentials in nursing from nursing schools in Willow Grove in 2010.
If you plan on staying in Willow Grove after graduating from nursing school, you should know that job prospects for nurses in Willow Grove, which is the most popular nursing profession, are good. In 2010, 1 out of every 3 nurses in Pennsylvania were working in the greater Willow Grove area.
