Ghyll:Agony uncle
"Agony uncle" is a derogatory term applied to employees of the Folktown Records weekly newspaper, a long running and esteemed publication with over six hundred issues released. Since the core focus of the Folktown Records is to be a conduit between answers and the innocent questions children ask, a large number of employees are patient and wise men and women, trained to answer tough questions simply, but correctly.
Unfortunately, the trials and tribulations of insatiable and unyielding children can wear anyone down, and such was the case of Windsor Creame, a 57-year old man in his twelfth year of service at the paper. One cool and calm day, the polar opposite of the heated fury to follow, Windsor was touring his nephew, Daniel Mboya, around the Folktown Records office. What follows next was hastily transcribed by a fellow employee:
Windsor: And this is where our answers are edited.
Daniel: What's editing?
Windsor: Well, it's when someone improves your writing.
Daniel: Because it was bad?
Windsor: No, no. They give it a polish that makes it better.
Daniel: If it wasn't bad, why does it need to get better?
Windsor: It could need tightening or clarification, or...
Daniel: What's clarfication [sic]?
Windsor: It's when something is made clearer and more understandable.
Daniel: So, your answer was bad because it wasn't clear?
Windsor (laughing): No, no. It may have just been confusing to read.
Daniel: If the answer was right, how could it be confusing?
Windsor: Oh look, this is the break room. We've got brownies!
Daniel: If your answer isn't wrong or bad, why does it need improving?
Daniel: Improving my reading makes me better at it, right?
Daniel: And clarfication [sic] makes something not confusing.
Daniel: So your answer must have been confusing and not good!
Windsor: No, Daniel, it just means two heads are better than one.
Daniel: I think I need more clarfication [sic]. Is the editing man here?
It was at this point that the transcriber reported Windsor becoming more shifty, nervous, and red-in-the-face, "unbecoming of a job where understanding and civility were crucial." Sadly for poor Daniel, the unfolding events change based on who you question. The transcriber recalls Windsor pushing Daniel roughly into the break room, and slamming him into one of the empty wooden chairs.
On the other hand, the gardener, outside in the bright sun, reports Windsor waving cordially, and "enjoying a brownie with his favorite nephew." The transcriber disagrees, saying that Windsor "forcefully [shoved] food into the boy's mouth." The editor, returning from a meeting down the hall, saw only Windsor, with his hand cupped over Daniel's mouth, leaving "in a huff."
Regardless of what really happened at the Folktown Records that day, the next time Daniel was seen, he was badly bruised and bleeding profusely. When prompted for an explanation, the boy's scratchy and barely discernible voice proved unintelligible. Further medical investigation showed internal bleeding in the throat area, indicative that the boy had literally screamed, presumably in agony, until even that caused further pain.
When Windsor returned home that night, hours after Daniel was discovered leaving bloody footprints on Madam Calvian's marble walkway (herself a neighbor to the transcriber), he was detained and brought in for questioning. After proving "uncooperative" by not stating the "truth" as the authorities figured it, he was locked away in a cell without further due process.
Bavarian Creame, Windsor's wife of seven years, categorically denies that Windsor could do such a thing, stating that "he and poor Daniel had just gone spelunking last week and had a great time!" After being brought in as an accomplice, Bavarian was released due to lack of evidence.
Daniel died the following day due to blood collecting in his lungs, and his death was officially pronounced a murder. As the news swept the community, so did the macabre reason for Daniel's inability to name his abuser: his ragged and raw throat, ripped apart by the screams no one seemed to hear. Even without irrefutable proof, Windsor Creame, newly dubbed the "agony uncle" and pushed "over the edge by the ceaseless accusations of answer ineptitude", was the obvious choice. However, several friends and family of Windsor believe him to be innocent, and at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Unofficially, I have a concern with the sixth floor and the report of the gardener: On the other hand, the gardener, outside in the bright sun, reports Windsor waving cordially, and "enjoying a brownie with his favorite nephew. It's certainly explainable that Windsor waved down upon the gardener, but there's no way said foliager would know that they were enjoying brownies, not when they're six floors up. --Morbus Iff 20:44, 18 Oct 2004 (EDT)
That just deepens the mystery, doesn't it then? --DrBacchus 08:44, 19 Oct 2004 (EDT)
Perhaps the gardener was able to recognize the characteristic wail of a Brownie in orgasm. --John Cowan 13:06, 19 Oct 2004 (EDT)

Fields of Pain and Decay
And as the darkness fell, his armies spread like locusts, consuming all that would sustain the fair folk of Eredane…
Welcome to midnight, the nightmare of your fantasies. 100 years ago the dark god Izrador has defeated the people of Erenland and now he spreads his shadow across the land.
Each of you were born to, or forcefully brought to, the northern land of Bastion. Once, it was a thriving plain of grasslands on the edge of the arctic tundra north. The soils of Bastion were always fertile and as such the Dorns settled there mostly as farmers, sowing endless fields of lush crops to feed the people of Erenland. Since the shadow fell, Bastion fell to treachery and corruption from within and now a pawn prince of Izrador governs Bastion with cruelty and terror.
Long has it been that all the great warriors have been either killed or driven off from Bastion and now it is held firmly by tens of thousands of orcs and goblins. Those unfortunate humans that remained settled in the fields of Bastions were forced into slave labor, sowing their crops for the massive armies of Izrador. Their communities and living conditions have begun to degrade into squalor. Trade is non-existent, except for the shipments of food for the shadow armies, and the trickle of captured slaves shipped in to work the fields. Most can barely feed themselves since the crop quota demanded by the legates are so high, and hoarding food is a crime punishable by crucifixion in the fields.
Since then, dark, over-casting shadows hang over the lands of Bastion, orc and goblins roam the land enforcing their god's will, and a great temple-tower, made of black obsidian, was erected over the once majestic Bastion keep. The soil is mostly leached and dry from over-farming, the water becomes more tainted everyday and plants become sickly and recede from the once lush land of Bastion. Those that refuse to work, try to escape or commit any crime against the shadow are crucified in the fields, where their blood waters the crops. Soon the locusts will turn Bastion to a wasteland in the glory of Izrador.
Despite the misfortunes of you life that ended you up in Bastion, you have been taken in and looked after by a man named Ural Sant. Ural has always done what he could to keep you beneath the notice of the shadow like a slave broken and fearing of the slaver whip, but you suspect there is more to him than what appears.
One night, Ural wakes you and with sweat upon his brow and determination and fear in his eyes, he urges you to meet him in his decaying ruin of a barn. It startles and unsettles you the uncharacteristic waking, the look in his eyes. Yet, after all your years beneath the yoke of the shadow, being whipped 16 hours a day, everyday. Working with bloody, blistered, calloused hands with orc swords at your backs and razor wire between you and safety. Listening to the screaming of the crucified in the field, you sense a change in the winds and the smile of fortune. Perhaps destiny has come…

Be Stiff! The Stiff Records Story
26 March 2014
Press Statement for Jill Sinclair
… you know what! Founded in 1976, we started at the heart of the new wave, bringing the world artists as diverse as Elvis Costello, Kirsty MacColl and Ian Dury and what is generally regarded as the first ever punk rock single, New Rose by The Damned.
We set the yardstick for music business marketing, with artwork by Barney Bubbles and an array of memorable slogans, not least 'It It Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth A F***'.
Stiff still thrives, with a 2012 UK #1 single – Bom Bom by Sam And The Womp – and a back catalogue comprising 150 singles and more than 50 albums of revered 70s and 80s pop, punk and rock.

The best joy emanates from austerity. Agni Yoga series
History shows that austere times can have the capacity to transform people and nations. For example Sparta, the city-state of ancient Greece, became famous for the military prowess of its citizens through their austere way of life. From this city's name, the word "spartan" evolved and is still used today to connote frugality and self-denial. Ironically, it is modern day Greece that is experiencing some of the most severe economic difficulties and being subjected to "austerity packages", but so too are many other debt-ridden countries.
As this economic stringency is bringing hardship to so many, austerity is probably a word that few would see in a positive light, associating it mainly with economic gloom, the loss of an accustomed standard of living, and all without any compensating goal in sight. But there is another kind of austerity that, willingly implemented, is of invaluable assistance in the pursuit of a spiritual goal. Of course, this is of little consolation to those who are currently deprived of a decent livelihood, but the important difference is that spiritual austerity is implemented out of free choice – it is not, in this latter instance, an unwelcome imposition. This is not to advocate the way of the ascetic or raja yoga practitioner for all those suffering from the current world economic crisis, but it is interesting to reflect on the practice of austerity in spirituality to see if there may be at least some compensating spiritual reward for those affected.
"Practising austerity" is called "Tapasya" in Sanskrit and through it the yogi works to free his mind from worldly desires, clearing a space within where the age-long accumulation of forces that hold him enthralled to the physical world are "burned off", allowing the consciousness to rise unimpeded towards an envisioned spiritual goal. Tapasya literally means to burn or heat up, to become as a spiritual affirmation states "a point of sacrificial fire focused within the fiery will of God". While the path of the yogi may be too extreme for most people, a certain control or restraint of the material senses and appetites is essential in providing the inner space needed to explore one's true identity. Spiritual retreats are becoming ever more popular forms of developing Tapasya, often involving silence and fasting as part of their regime. Practising austerity involves a conscious choice to withstand some deprivation without complaint, attachment or aversion. The state of mind when deciding to undertake this observance is paramount.
While the so-called Western world is entering a period of austerity, financially at least, in truth many nations, particularly developing and low income nations, have been living in far worse conditions of poverty and deprivation for years. The realisation must finally dawn that financial instability and economic "boom and bust" will always feature in the world as long as nations advocate a "greed based" economic structure over one of beneficent organisation for the good of the whole. Some economists thought that "boom and bust" had been eradicated from modern day economics, however this polarity reflects the dualism of humanity's collective psychological condition and like all other pairs of opposites cannot be escaped until the spiritual path that lies between them is trodden.
Until this path of spiritual austerity is consciously embraced and joyfully trodden, the pairs of opposites will continue to hand out their harsh but fair lessons. For social change and ultimately evolution, occurs through calamities and crises if not through conscious choice. So better to learn the lessons of duality and choose the middle way sooner rather than later, and then, when consciously chosen, joy can accompany the action of release from the burden of material things. The current austerity measures therefore have some positive potential to reduce excessive consumerism and lead people to think more creatively about the future. There are many examples of people and groups who are leading the way in this area. The Voluntary Simplicity Movement founded by Duane Elgin for example calls humanity to stop living on auto-pilot and deliberately make life-changing choices. This entails releasing ourselves from the non-essential activities that permeate modern life so that it becomes possible to live in accordance with our most important goals and values. The priorities of our consumer and work-oriented culture often run counter to that which enriches and inspires us. "Simplifiers" lives, they say, are often enhanced by choices to reduce consumption, and turning to activities which have a positive effect on relationships, family life, service and the environment.
It is not too idealistic to say that many people today are deeply concerned about the welfare of others across the globe in a way which has never occurred before. To meet the demands which this newly evolving recognition of living in "one world" entails it is essential that spiritual values and qualities such as fairness, compassion, and brotherhood are no longer just abstractions but become woven into the fabric of everyday life. The inner and the outer, the subjective and objective worlds need to be linked together to form a whole – human relationships, economic, social and ecological systems – so that all that manifests in the outer world of daily living is directed consciously from a subjective appreciation of wholeness, of the oneness of the human spirit and of sharing in One Life.
From this it is possible to understand that benevolence and spiritual austerity are one and the same. For the wealthier people of the world, those who possess education, vocations and skills, benevolent actions are becoming increasingly common, as witnessed in the many acts of magnanimous giving and service, and which sow the seeds for a more disciplined, selfless and fulfilling way of life to emerge. For some of these donors and philanthropists, such giving may involve no personal sacrifice and is perhaps just a percentage of income not really affecting the quality of living. Nevertheless, the current trend shows that many givers are becoming personally involved in the distribution of their money or skills and discovering the first flickers of fiery joy that characterises the path of true austerity.
As this attitude intensifies into a life governed by the energy of goodwill and compassion, suffering in terms of personal loss and denial automatically falls away to be replaced by a positive engagement with the world and identification with the soul of all. The goal to be attained outweighs all else, and a refining and simplifying of the personal life in order to live for the good of others and all that lives upon the planet characterises the consciousness. The consciousness of such a person of goodwill is then steadily transformed in the fire of Tapasya for he has set foot upon the path, even if unwittingly, of the true yogi.

The penalty is not applied until they get to the pitstop. At that time, since Jacqueline and Aubrey are the last of all the finshers and have the same penalty as 5 others, they automatically become team #9. with the penalty applied, the other teams with penalties become #5 through #8. If they had applied the penalty immediately, it would have washed out overnight with the hours of operation and been meaningless.
I love it when the girls are told they are #9 (and they celebrate) before being told that means they are last and get eliminated.
The penalthy put Sahil/Prahsant after Sharon/Melody and they were eliminated. They did not accept the validity of the penalty and were very upset about it
THough I was disappointed in the penality that the guys got.I think it was just a 30 minute penality.

Graham Hughes / The Canadian Press via AP
Police vehicles block a road just outside the town of Chertsey, Quebec, on Sunday, during a search for escaped prisoners.
By The Associated Press
Two Quebec inmates climbed up a rope into a hovering helicopter to make a daring daylight escape Sunday from a jail northwest of Montreal, authorities said.
Quebec provincial police said later that they had arrested three people about 30 miles north of the Saint-Jerome jail from which the inmates escaped. One of those arrested was 36-year-old inmate Benjamin Hudon-Barbeau. Authorities late Sunday located the second inmate and said a security perimeter had been set up around the area where 33-year-old Danny Provencal has been found.
Earlier on Sunday, police received a call from the staff at the Saint-Jerome jail, reporting the escape around 2:20 p.m., said Quebec provincial police Sgt. Benoit Richard.
The jail's warden told police that Hudon-Barbeau and Provencal had grabbed a rope dropped from the helicopter to make their getaway, Richard said.
Quebec provincial police tracked down the helicopter used in the escape on Sunday afternoon to Mont-Tremblant, about 53 miles (85 kilometers) away from the jail but only the chopper's pilot was still at the scene. He was taken to a local hospital, Richard said.
"He's going to be questioned later on by investigators, within the next couple of hours," Richard said, adding that it's too early to say what the pilot's role was in the escape.
A Montreal radio station, 98.5 FM, said it received a call Sunday from a man claiming to be Hudon-Barbeau, who said he was "ready to die" as he tried to evade police.
Yves Galarneau, the correctional services manager who oversees the Saint-Jerome jail said he'd never seen anything like the dramatic escape in more than three decades on the job.
Galarneau said there are no security measures in place at the jail to prevent a helicopter from swooping down from above.
"As far as I know, it's a first in Quebec," he told reporters at the scene. "It's exceptional."
The Saint-Jerome jail, located about 37 miles?northwest of Montreal, experienced a mini-riot by about a dozen prisoners a little over a month ago.
In that incident, police were called in to secure the outside of the jail, which holds about 480 inmates, and the jail's staff used pepper spray to disperse the mob.

"Catherine's contributions to nursing education are unparalleled. Through her outstanding
administrative skills and untiring efforts, the ADN program grew from 30 students
in 1966 to 205 incoming students on 1996. The Community College of Rhode Island has
the distinction of being the largest source for registered nurses in the State of
Rhode Island."
Mary Mycroft, Niece of Catherine McGoldrick
Catherine C. McGoldrick was the chief pioneer of RIJC's nursing division, establishing a program that would become the state's leading provider of healthcare workers in the state of Rhode Island. She came to the college in 1967 as dean of the Division of Nursing and associate professor. She served on the president's advisory council, academic dean's committee, sabbatical committee and the admission committee for nursing. She also was a member of the Nursing Faculty Organization and a representative for the Board of Regents.
Prior to joining the college, McGoldrick served as the director of nursing at Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket for 10 years. She was president of the Rhode Island Board of Nurse Registration and Nursing Education. She also was a member of many professional nursing organizations, including New England Council on Higher Education for Nursing, Inter-institutional Committee for Nursing, Statewide Planning Committee for Nursing, Rhode Island Hospital Coordinating Council and Special Committee on Nurse Practitioners.
McGoldrick had a distinguished military career. She entered the Army Reserve in 1945, retired as a full colonel in the reserves in 1979 and held the position of chief nurse in New England. At the time of her promotion to full colonel, she was one of the six nurses to have reached this rank. She holds a diploma in Nursing from Sturdy Memorial Hospital School of Nursing and bachelor's and master's degrees in Nursing from Boston University School of Nursing.
McGoldrick passed away in 1986. The college posthumously inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 1996.

The best performer is Massachusetts, ringing in at No. 17. Minnesota also makes it into the upper-middle tier, followed by Vermont, New Jersey, and Washington. And down it goes from there, all the way to Mississippi, whose students�by this measure at least�might as well be attending school in Thailand or Serbia. Maybe it is all those immigrants and poor people that make the US look bad right? Nope, afraid not: Quote: On a percentage basis, New York state has fewer high performers among white kids than Poland has among kids overall. In Illinois, the percentage of kids with a college-educated parent who are highly skilled at math is lower than the percentage of such kids among all students in Iceland, France, Estonia, and Sweden. So what did Massachussets do to improve its schools? Spend more money? No. Reduce class size? No. Quote: Massachusetts made it harder to become a teacher, requiring newcomers to pass a basic literacy test before entering the classroom. (In the first year, more than a third of the new teachers failed the test.) The state also required students to pass a test before graduating from high school�a notion so heretical that it led to protests in which students burned state superintendent David Driscoll in effigy. To help tutor the kids who failed, the state moved money around to the places where it was needed most. �We had a system of standards and held people to it�adults and students,� Driscoll says. Pretty sensical stuff. The good news: Quote: However haltingly, more states are finally beginning to follow the lead of Massachusetts. At least 35 states and the District of Columbia agreed this year to adopt common standards for what kids should know in math and language arts�standards informed in part by what kids in top-performing countries are learning. Still, all of the states, Massachusetts included, have a long way to go. Last year, a study comparing standardized math tests given to third-graders in Massachusetts and Hong Kong found embarrassing disparities. Even at that early age, kids in Hong Kong were being asked more-demanding questions that required more-complex responses. Better late than never I suppose.

Where US students end up catching up is at the University level. However, with a graduation rate of about 50% in US Universities, and a ~25% population with a bachelor's degree or higher, it seems like University education is just survival of the fittest. Non competitive schools had like a 35% graduation rate while competitive schools were around 80%. Compare that to the graduation rate of say Korean Universities. I recall hearing the graduation rate was above 90%. Stats may be a off a little. I did a report on US education a few years back and am trying to recall the numbers off the top of my head. Anyways, the exact numbers aren't important. In my opinion, even though the education level doesn't measure up, what really matters is productivity, which Americans lead consistently.

Quote: Let's be clear about what we can and cannot learn from this approach. Outside variables -- the diversity of U.S. languages and cultures -- can muddy the results of a standardized test when we're matched up against more uniform classrooms. Some major news outlets treat the PISA scores as a conclusion, rather than a useful, if flawed, indicator of achievement. But the fact that the United States is diverse shouldn't be an excuse for throwing out two decades of international studies showing us falling behind the rest of the world. Researchers who have studied schools in Japan, Singapore, Finland and other consistently "elite" performers note gaping differences in the structure of the school day, the way teachers are incentivized, and the way math and science is taught overseas. Those lessons shouldn't be discounted as irrelevant given our cultural differences, but they should be considered in the context of the United States' unique education challenges. I think American mathematics programs are weak, though. But I've heard even that is getting better. Back to top ArtrisJoined: 09 Jun 2009 Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 4:33 pm Post subject: I really wonder about the public school system in the US. As a child I moved about ten times (that I can remember). I've been to public schools in New York, Virginia and Vermont. The total number of public schools I've been to is five. I've also been to three private schools and I was even home schooled at one point. I have to say that my experience in one of the private schools was excellent (a catholic high school) and in the other two was horrid (christian academies). I feel that the uniforms in the high school helped greatly. The school in general kept the population under control. The christian academies were probably the worst schools I've ever been to. The teachers there cared, of course, but they also focused too much on religion and, overall, the teachers were under qualified. The public schools were a mixed bag. I've been to three different grade schools, one middle school and one high school. I have to say the high school was the most impressive. I recognized drug problems at both the middle school and high school level: I was actually offered drugs in both. I'm pretty sure that a gang was working on recruiting me in the middle school, as well as the high school, level. The grade schools were actually pretty good: both introduced me to some excellent literature for the level and had a decent math department. The high school had an excellent range of courses: they offered German, French, Spanish and Chinese for languages. They had computer labs, a typing class and a library complete with internet access for students (at the time that was impressive). Each year they held a job fair in the gym for all students, of all levels, to attend and talk to professions from their respective industries (I remember seeing a CAD program in action for the first time from one of those fairs). The middle school also had an excellent selection: shop, a class labeled "Technology" which covered everything from programming and circuitry to chemistry and astronomy, they also had classes for aspiring musicians. I played the violin but there were certainly other options. The library here was huge, even compared to the high school I mentioned. The Vermont High School is rather frightening, to be honest. They have a huge selection of programs, but students don't actually get grades as it were. The school is all about keeping the students at ease. The students advance to each level and get write ups based on how they interact with each other and the teachers. There are expressions of concern instead of academic probations. This is my impression from watching my sister and brother deal with it. The other issue is special needs students and teachers salaries. If you look at what it costs on a per student level to run a high school you will find that private schools pay less per student, significantly less. This is because private schools can be far more focused: they offer less options, less languages for example, but do very well with what they offer. They also don't need to deal with special needs students because they don't admit them. Teachers have excellent job security and a lot of time off but, if they were paid more, perhaps schools would get teachers more qualified and gifted (imagine if teachers were paid as much as doctors or lawyers: what sort of teachers would we have?). Attaining a job solely for security doesn't say much about the attainer. To generalize, schools in the USA tend to offer too many options and try to help too many people. It is harsh but I think that the US should reduce the number of languages and arts offered at all levels: instead focus on two language options. If you want your son to learn the piano, hire a tutor. The issue with special needs students is going to make me very unpopular here, but I'm not convinced that a state or federal government should be responsible for them. Perhaps each state should only have a handful of schools to deal with special needs students. The students could commute to these schools. The other option is to refund the education money to the parents of said students and allow the parents to enroll their students in a private school. This may sound bad but actually it could be quite good for the students: again, currently the government spends far more on education than private schools do. Back to top misesJoined: 05 Nov 2007Location: retired Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 5:49 am Post subject: Richard Posner, one of the most cited legal scholars in the US (according to his wiki) discusses the bad schools vs bad students debate: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/2011/01/the-pisa-rankings-and-the-role-of-schools-in-student-performance-on-standardized-testsposner.html Quote: The rankings tend to be interpreted as measures of the quality of a nation�s pre-collegiate school system (primary and secondary education, since primary education influences performance in secondary schools). But this may be a mistake. Schooling is only one, though doubtless an important, input into performance on the PISA tests. Another is IQ. There have been some efforts to compare IQ across countries, notably by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen; see their 2006 book IQ and Global Inequality. Their results cannot be regarded as definitive, given significant limitations in the data, but they are suggestive. The authors find that the East Asian countries, which generally rank highest on the PISA tests (including reading�not just math and sciene), have the highest average IQs; the average IQ of Americans is lower because of our large black and Hispanic populations, which have lower average IQs than whites and Asians. IQ is understood to reflect both genetic endowment and environmental factors, particularly factors operative very early in a child�s life, including prenatal care, maternal health, the educational level of the parents, family stability, and poverty (all these are correlated, and could of course reflect low IQs of parents as well as causing low IQs in their children). The case for very early intervention in children�s development, powerfully urged by the distinguished University of Chicago economist James Heckman, can be understood as an effort to lift IQs in the black and Hispanic communities and by doing so improve the educational performance of black and Hispanic children, including performance on the PISA tests. It is true that Heckman emphasizes noncognitive skills that facilitate learning, but these skills could also increase performance on IQ tests, indicating a positive effect on IQ. The 2009 PISA test scores reveal that in American schools in which only a small percentage (no more than 10 percent) of the students receive free lunches or reduced-cost lunches, which are benefits provided to students from poor families, the PISA reading test scores are the highest in the world. But in the many American schools in which 75 percent or more of the students are from poor families, the scores are the second lowest among the 34 countries of the OECD; and the OECD includes such countries as Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, and Slovakia. If IQ is playing a significant role in America�s mediocre showing on the PISA tests, improvements in secondary school education are unlikely to have dramatic effects. The white and Asian kids in American schools are already doing fine, for the most part; the black and Hispanic kids may not do much better until their early childhood environment is improved to the point at which black and Hispanic IQs are raised significantly. The schools are fine.

We keep hearing growing up that it's the greatest country in the world, but most people have never been able to PERSONALLY benchmark anything American against anything else. Most Americans cannot fathom that health care may be better in other parts of the world. They cannot fathom that there might be graduate schools that are better in other parts of the world. People think that the only good doctors in the world are in the U.S. Best cars? Electronics (Apple excluded)? Internet service? Trains? Airlines? Actors? Movies? The public education system sucks in the U.S. Parents are gigantic vaginas and are responsible for this utter failure of an education ecosystem. They're too concerned with bitching about stupid stuff that doesn't even matter like prayer, pledge of allegiance, evolution, etc. "I'm not gonna allow anyone to tell my kid that he/she should _____" It's like STFU bitch! Your kid doesn't even know where Russia is! Tell your punk ass kid "Cody" that he can't ever leave the house until he gets a B average on his next report card and maybe the US can regain the #1 slot in the world again. The good thing is that all the US has to do to make up for it is to relax some visa rules so we can actually get smart, skilled people into the labor force. Of course this will piss off most Americans and of course we'll have a spike in racism/anti-immigrant sentiment.

Elected officials oppose council system
Five of the eight chief elected officials of the South Western Regional Planning Agency told a state legislator Tuesday that smaller is working just fine with the regional planning group.
"If the state feels they are creating a regional type of government with councils of 20 or more town chief elected officials, I can tell you that is a very poor way to make decisions," Wilton First Selectman Bill Brennan said. "The best organizational structures are smaller ones."
The group met at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford on Tuesday to oppose House Bill 6629, arguing the proposal to consolidate the state's 14 planning regions into councils of governments would especially harm Fairfield County leaders' ability to plan transportation projects and possibly lead to higher property taxes and much less autonomy.
More than half a dozen legislators from the region, including state Sen. Toni Boucher, R-Wilton; Lawrence Cafero, R-Norwalk, and L. Scott Frantz, R-Greenwich, were also on hand to express doubts about the plan.
"We're the smallest town in Fairfield County, and what I would be worried about would be losing our voice," Weston First Selectman Gayle Weinstein said. "If we had to work with a region of 28 municipalities, I feel we might face a serious lack of funding."
If the bill is approved, the state's 14 planning regions would be split up and redistricted by 2015 into councils of government, the composition and size of which would be approved by the state Office of Policy and Management.
The bill provides a formula for providing state funding to cover the greater administrative costs of larger regions, with newly formed regions receiving a higher amount of planning funds based on the number of people in their incorporated region.
Greenwich First Selectman Peter Tesei said revising the boundaries of planning regions seemed like a precursor to a county form of government, raising concerns about taxpayers of smaller towns paying more tax that would be used in ways that don't get results.
Tesei said the structure could result in designation of a wider region's funding to counteract poverty in urban areas, a laudable goal, but one better achieved through a focus on reducing crime and improving the quality of life in those areas to expand their own tax base.
"If I thought giving funding to a community without the same level of resources would make a difference, I'd support it wholeheartedly," Tesei said. "We're talking about the poor urban areas here, which have been a struggle for 50 years. I just see if this happens and we continue to go down this road where the state is imposing, then Connecticut continues to decline as a place to live."
The of eight municipalities represented by SWRPA -- Greenwich, Stamford, Wilton, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Weston and Westport -- share enough commonality of interests and geographic similarity to make regional cooperation and planning fruitful, he said.
"The other part of this that is lost for the communities is the greater involvement of our volunteer board, and we'd be losing the ability to bring in their expertise," Tesei said. "There is great overall skepticism about this."
State Rep. Jason Rojas, D-East Hartford, a co-sponsor of the bill, told the officials some of their concerns were unfounded, sparring with them over whether the council-of-government structure could legally be authorized by the state to levy taxes on member towns and cities.
Leaders said they envisioned the government sooner or later requiring regions to devolve a greater number of services including housing and environmental protection, to the regions.
"Councils of government don't have taxing authority," Rojas maintained.
While Rojas said while the bill could be amended to exempt the eight municipalities from participating in a council of governments, a reduction in reform of government structure on a statewide basis is a hindrance to the state's economic health.
"Connecticut is the poster child for hyper-duplication of services," Rojas said. "We have 169 towns and 318 fire departments."
In response, Brennan said the greatest obstacle to the state's economic potential is the drag caused by labor unions, particularly in the public sector. A concession deal obtained from state unionized workers by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy that guaranteed no layoffs for four years illustrated the clout the unions have to preserve their benefits and blunt efforts to make services more efficient.
"We're not a high-cost state because of our fire departments; we're a high-cost state because of unions," he said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In a men's lacrosse game that saw four ties and four lead changes it was MIT that came out on top, holding the Wentworth Institute of Technology scoreless in the fourth quarter while scoring a pair of its own goals to take a 9-6 victory. Freshman Jake Slonaker (West Windsor, N.J.) scored four goals for the Engineers, while sophomore Steve Glover (Marstons Mills, Mass.) tallied a pair to lead the Leopards.
Slonaker opened the scoring with an unassisted score just seven seconds into the contest after a faceoff win by junior Mike Gibson (Natick, Mass.). A minute later junior Gabe Blanchet (Hadley, Mass.) took a pass from freshman Bill Kelleher (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and found the back of the net for a 2-0 MIT lead.
Wentworth (1-2) then struck back with three unanswered goals over a 10-minutes span. Glover notched his first at the 11:34 mark before the Leopard goalie, junior Jared Proulx (Nashua, N.H.), cleared the ball on his own and put a shot past his counterpart to tie the game. Proulx then assisted on the next Wentworth score, Glover's second of the game, with 1:16 left in the first quarter to give the Leopards their first lead of the game.
MIT (2-1) countered just seconds later when Blanchet notched his second of the game, but junior Mark Pappas (Worcester, Mass.) gave Wentworth the lead again off an assist from junior Tyler Forthofer (Glastonbury, Conn.) with just 12 seconds left in the first.
After the seven-goal first quarter, the defenses took over in the second as only one score was put up on the board. That came off the stick of Slonaker, who tied it up at the 6:49 mark of the quarter.
In the third MIT went up early on a score from junior Sean Burke (Centennial, Colo.), but consecutive goals from sophomore Chris Kipp (Scarborough, Maine) and freshman Michael Cushera (Waltham, Mass.) put Wentworth back on top.
Slonaker then came up big in the final four minutes of the third for MIT. His unassisted score at the 4:22 mark tied the game, and with MIT facing its first man-down situation of the game in the final minute of the quarter he scored again to put MIT up for good. After a Wentworth shot was knocked down, MIT was able to clear the ball and sophomore Elliot Sykora (Wilmette, Ill.) was able to find Slonaker for what proved to be the winning goal.
MIT's defense turned it up a notch in the final quarter, holding Wentworth scoreless again as the Leopards committed nine turnovers while junior Christopher Rullan (Wexford, Pa.) made four save in goal to preserve the MIT advantage. Burke and Gibson added insurance goals for the Engineers.
Rullan and Gibson each picked up eight ground balls to lead MIT, while Proulx also had eight for Wentworth.
MIT will play its next game in Florida on a spring break trip, taking on the University of Tampa at 7:00 p.m. on March 25. Wentworth will host Plymouth State on March 22 at 5:00 p.m.

New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyers Standing Up for Juvenile Justice
Our attorneys in New Jersey help kids and teens handle criminal charges and other fair treatment issues
When children under the age of 18 get in trouble with the law, they are generally treated differently than adults facing similar charges. The goal of the juvenile justice system differs from the criminal justice system in that more of an emphasis is placed on rehabilitation than punishment.
When your child makes a serious mistake, gets caught up in peer pressure or the wrong friends, or acts under the influence of underage drinking or drugs, you need to protect your son or daughter's rights and future. You need a Montgomery County criminal defense attorney well-versed in the juvenile justice system who can help minimize the consequences of a guilty plea or conviction.
Paul W. Tressler, a proud member of our team, served as Administrative Judge of the Juvenile Court, where he instituted the first truancy program in Pennsylvania as well as additional programs geared at better serving children and teenagers. He currently stands on the other side of the courtroom as a Montgomery County criminal law attorney, representing children and teens with juvenile charges pending against them. He knows what it takes to best represent your son, daughter, niece, nephew or grandchild and how to achieve the most favorable outcome.
New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyers fighting to resolve your child's education concerns
If your child has been expelled from school, the law firm of Mandracchia Law, LLC can help. Upon explusion, damaging personal information is added to your child's student record.

The law firm of Mandracchia Law, LLC can also ensure that an Individualized Education Program (IEP) is properly prepared to address the special needs of your child. If you feel that your child's IEP is not being implemented and your complaints go unanswered, contact Mandracchia Law, LLC for professional and compassionate assistance.

COLLEGE STATION – When Kevin Sumlin walked off the practice field mad at some of the players on his team on Thursday evening, and when he walked into Hagner Auditorium still mad at how practice had gone because of a handful of players, his demeanor reminded me of a fellow who used to roam the sidelines around here about five years ago.
One Billy Gillispie, the most beloved coach I've been around at A&M in about 15 years on the beat. The styles are pretty similar, and both appear to use quite a bit of tough love in dealing with their players (basketball's Gillispie, of course, left for Kentucky five years ago and is now at Texas Tech).
"We've got some guys who are coming to the forefront, physical guys who like to play," Sumlin said Thursday night. "And we've had some guys who are pretenders. That are not very tough. We've got to figure out a way to over the next couple of weeks develop some mental and physical toughness.
"Some of the guys who talk about playing and want to play and want to do things get out there, and when we start hitting, they disappear. We've got to eliminate those guys. So that's what this time is about right now."
As for how exactly he determines the pretenders:
"It's not the whole team, but we've got some guys who would rather talk than play football," he said. "And when it gets tough, they disappear. We need to develop and keep developing physical and mental toughness, and that will be goal No. 1 over the next couple of weeks."
Gillispie was tough and all of that stuff, but what made him beloved in Aggieland was winning, pure and simple. Sumlin has taken over a program that is .500 over the past decade, and one moving into the rugged Southeastern Conference this summer. So, like Gillispie, who took over the worst program in the Big 12 and made it a winner, Sumlin has his work cut out for him over the next couple of years (and next couple of weeks).
The Aggies next take the field on Monday, after Sumlin has given them off Easter weekend. Remember that on April 14 (a Saturday) Sumlin is having an open scrimmage at 11 a.m. at Kyle Field, followed by the Aggie Youth Experience at 1 p.m. on Kyle.

This section Distinguishing INFP and ISFP is to help you verify your type if you're still unsure after doing the test and reading the type descriptions.
Although they appear alike at first sight, INFPs and ISFPs are very different personalities. According to David Keirsey's Temperament Theory, the INFP belongs to the Idealist (NFs) type personality while the ISFP belongs to the Artisan (SPs) type personality.
As such there are several distinguishing characteristics of both personalities that will easily help you clarify your type.
These differences should be sufficient for distinguishing INFP and ISFP. While there are other more subtle differences, the above mentioned points are the more observable differences in behavior.

CCLI's Vision
To establish a strong communication network serving the Body of Christ, which enables the dispensing of comprehensive and valuable informational, inspirational resources, both primary and secondary in origination.
CCLI's Mission Statement
To encourage the spirit of worship to churches, organizations, and Christians individually, so that they may enhance their worship expression spontaneously, conveniently, affordably and legally.
From Humble Launch to Worldwide Impact
On October 1, 1988, with representation of 120 publishers, the Church Copyright License was launched. After 1 year, more than 9,500 churches had access to more than 200 publisher catalogs. In April 1990, CCLI expanded its operation to cover the churches in Canada. After 2 years of operation more than 23,000 churches were utilizing the Church Copyright License. On July 1, 1991, Christian Copyright Licensing Ltd. assumed the British CMA operation and began servicing more than 7,200 church license holders in the UK and in 1994 this expanded to serve UK schools for their daily act of Collective Worship. On April 1, 1993, CCLI started its licensing program in Asia-Pacific, initially covering Australia and New Zealand. And in June 1995, the program was expanded to cover churches in South Africa.
On September 1, 1997, CCLI began offering for the first time the Photocopy License, in Australia and New Zealand, to provide a way for songs (including the music) to be legally photocopied.
On February 1, 1998, CCLI expanded for the first time into non-English speaking countries with the launch of the Church Copyright License in Sweden. Today the CCL is also available in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland.
On April 1, 1998 after four years of research and discussion with copyright owners the Music Reproduction License was offered for the first time to provide UK license holders a way to photocopy musical compositions intended for congregational participation.
CCLI now serves more than 200,000 churches worldwide in worship. It was founded as a ministry of the Church and a service to the Church, to educate the Church about copyright laws, to protect the Church from the consequences of copyright infringements and to encourage greater utilization of copyrights in Church services.

When retirement is more than 20 years down the road, it can be hard to get and stay motivated to start saving. But here's a new finding that might spark an interest: a recent survey shows people who starting saving for their nest egg at 30 were more prepared for retirement than those who waited five years.
Continue Reading Below
The recent survey, conducted by TD Ameritrade, also showed that the young savers weren't actively putting away money—it was as simple as having a percentage of their paycheck automatically deducted and placed into an account.
While many people, especially those in their early 30s, are living pay check to pay check, there are ways to save for retirement and still make ends meet. Here's a look at three ways young workers can start growing their retirement nest egg now.
Take Advantage of Company Offerings
One of the easiest and least costly ways to start saving for retirement is to take advantage of a company's retirement plan, which is usually a 401(k) plan.
At 30, retirement may seem far down the road at 30, but the longer workers wait the more they'll have to put aside later.
"If you start at age 30 you have to put 10% of your income away as a benchmark. If you start at 45 you have to put 50% of your salary," says Kevin Luss, president of financial advisory company The Luss Group.
Financial experts say a good savings benchmark is 10% of an income into your 401 (K) plan each year. If a company offers a matching program for a portion of employees' savings, strive to pledge at least that amount because it's free money.
"Every time you get a raise take one-third and put it away," suggests Luss. "If you got a $3,000 raise about $1,000 would go to the IRS, $1,000 would go into savings and the other $1,000 can be spent how you want to."
Under a company 401 (K) plan, the money is automatically deducted from a pay check and early withdrawals from the account would be subject to penalties, which is why advisors recommend never dipping into the money unless absolutely necessary.
"Treat it like a time capsule. Bury the money in 401(k) and forget about it," says John Convery, founder and president of The Educated Wealth Center.
Create an IRA
Individual retirement accounts, more commonly known as IRAs, accounts are retirement saving tools, allow your money to grow tax free until the owner reaches age 59 ½. The accounts can be opened with as little as $50 at some financial institutions and don't require a hefty investment each month.
"You can start with $250 and put $50 a month and what's going to happen is you'll get a statement in a year and all of sudden there will be $1000," says Luss. "It's like losing weight. You'll see the statement and it will give you some inspiration to keep going."
Another investment option is to invest in an index fund instead, according to Convery. Index funds are designed to mirror and match the performance of a stock market like the S&P500 but don't have a lot of fees associated with it because it's not actively managed. "The big mistake a lot of young folks make is they try to beat the market and go chase the best stock," says Convery.
Make Savings Automatic
No matter the savings vehicle, experts recommend having the money automatically deducted from a paycheck or drafted from an account into the savings account.
According to the Ameritrade survey, of the prepared boomers, 74% had money automatically deducted from their pay. "Even with a small denomination get started into something and make it systematic," says Convery. "Putting away small amounts of money in a regular regimented fashion and automating the process are the single best things a young person can do."

Forecasting ACC bowl victories over Southern California and LSU in preseason would have been folly. The Trojans were ranked No. 1 by the Associated Press, LSU No. 3.
But that's what transpired. The wins weren't landmark and don't erase a disappointing regular season, but they were part of the conference's best bowl performance since 2003.
Florida State concluded the ACC's season Tuesday night with a predictable 31-10 Orange Bowl cuffing of 15th-ranked, but athletically overmatched, Northern Illinois. Playing his final college game, Seminoles quarterback EJ Manuel of Virginia Beach's Bayside High threw for 291 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score.
That gave the ACC a 4-2 bowl record, its first above .500 since 5-3 in 2005, its best by percentage since 5-1 in 2003.
Also, Florida State improved the ACC's grim Bowl Championship Series record to 3-13. In most years, a BCS victory is the postseason's highlight. Not this.
First, Florida State's win was workmanlike at best, especially on offense. Second, virtually any effort would have paled to Clemson's drama in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
The Tigers' 25-24 conquest of No. 9 LSU was the postseason's best game to date. The ACC Atlantic runner-up scored the final 12 points — Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired — and showed that, yes, some ACC teams are capable of trading haymakers with a Southeastern Conference heavyweight.
Now some have claimed that LSU lacked motivation and would have preferred a Cotton Bowl bid. But anyone who watched LSU's defense punish Clemson ball carriers knows better — led by Malliciah Goodman's three sacks, Clemson's defense responded in kind.
LSU is the highest-ranked bowl victim for the ACC since Clemson toppled No. 6 Tennessee in 2003. This also marks only the second time the ACC has defeated two top-15 teams in the same bowl season — in 2001, Georgia Tech beat No. 11 Stanford, and Florida State bested No. 15 Virginia Tech, then in the Big East.
Speaking of Georgia Tech — plead guilty to lame segue — the Yellow Jackets snapped their seven-game postseason losing streak with a 21-7 Sun Bowl upset of USC. A defense that appeared helpless at times this season — coach Paul Johnson fired coordinator Al Groh in early October — shut out Florida State in the second half of the ACC championship game and limited the Trojans, albeit without injured quarterback Matt Barkley, to one touchdown.
Virginia Tech's defense was even better in a 13-10 overtime victory over Rutgers in the Russell Athletic Bowl. The Hokies will have plenty of Coastal Division competition next season from Georgia Tech and Miami.
The ACC would have matched 2003's 5-1 bowl record absent Duke's inventive, 48-34 loss to Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl. Tied at 34, the Blue Devils were parked at the Bearcats' 5-yard-line with 1:32 remaining, only to have running back Josh Snead fumble the ball away.
Cincinnati promptly scored on Brendon Kay's 83-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce with 44 seconds left and Nick Temple's 55-yard interception return 30 seconds later. If that doesn't dissuade you from gambling — Duke was favored by nine points — perhaps nothing will.
North Carolina State, a 38-24 loser to Vanderbilt in the Music City, was the only ACC bowl team not positioned to win in the fourth quarter. Playing under interim head coach Dana Bible, the Wolfpack fell behind 14-0 and could not overcome five turnovers and 90 yards in penalties.
As mentioned earlier, the bowls don't heal all the wounds from a regular season in which ACC teams were 0-10 against non-conference opponents ranked by the Associated Press at kickoff. But it does create a positive vibe as the league enters 2013, welcomes Syracuse and Pittsburgh and starts business with 14 teams.
Syracuse routed West Virginia 38-14 in the Pinstripe Bowl to complete an 8-5 season, but coach Doug Marrone reportedly is interviewing for multiple NFL vacancies. Pitt (6-6) plays Ole Miss on Saturday in the BBVA Compass Bowl.
None of the ACC's bowls this season was as daunting as Aug. 31 likely will be. That's when Virginia Tech opens the 2013 season in the Georgia Dome against Alabama.

Results (Valentine's Invitational)
Results (MIT Co-ed Invitational)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The nationally-ranked No. 10 MIT men's track and field fared well over the weekend at the Valentine's Invitational hosted by Boston University. A number of Tech runners set personal-records, running well in their final tune-up before next weekend's Division III New England Championship.
The men's distance medley relay team kicked things off on Friday night, as Richard Prevost, Khalil Dozier, Stephen Serene and Paul Welle combined to run a solid time of 10:24.70. In the mile, Yermie Cohen was able to set a personal-record of 4:13.34, the fourth-fastest time in MIT history.
Two runners ran individual bests in the 400 meters as Nick Leonard finished two laps of the track in 50.13 and Dozier was just behind with a time of 51.63. Dozier also hit a personal-best time 22.70 in the 200 meters later in the day. All-American Stephen Morton ran a season best in the 200m, finishing in 22.43. Dozier continued his busy day, leading off the 4x400 relay with a 51.80 split, teaming up with Matt Bieniosek, David Reshef and Nick Leonard en route to a team time of 3:23.96. In the 1000 meters, Bill Phipps (2:31.28) and Prevost (2:33.99) also set personal records.
Also on Saturday, MIT hosted its annual Coed Invitational as a number of Tech athletes hit personal bests. Freshman Brendan Ensor ran the 55m hurdles in 8.57, the best time in his brief collegiate career. Three Engineers, Chinedum Umachi (44-2.75 feet), Jonathan Garrity (38-1.25 feet) and Douglas Blake (37-4.50 feet), all set personal-records in the weight throw. Greg Tao had a strong all-around performance, clearing 14-8.75 feet to win the pole vault then long jumping 20-7.75 feet for a personal best.
The Cardinal and Grey will host next weekend's Division III New England Championship, hoping to earn additional berths in the NCAA National Championship.
