Buying Tips
There are many varieties of sweet potatoes. What most Americans are familiar with is a rather sweet, moist, orange-fleshed potato with very dark skin. When this variety was introduced in the 1930s, it was marketed as a Louisiana "yam," though it's not a yam at all. To make matters more confusing, in the rest of the world, sweet potatoes have rather dry, slightly sweet, white or yellow flesh.
Look for sweet potatoes that feel heavy for their size and have no bruises, soft spots, or sign of sprouting. Handle them gently; they bruise easily.
To Store
Sweet potatoes are quite perishable. Store in a cool, dark place up to one week. Do not refrigerate.
To Prepare
Scrub under cold running water.
To Cook
Sweet potatoes are often treated like their savory (white) cousins and mashed, sautéed, fried, or turned into pancakes. To bake sweet potatoes, preheat oven to 450 degrees F and bake on a cookie sheet until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. See more recipes for sweet potatoes in our Recipe Search.

CEL school board accepts 3 resignations
renovation plans continue: Experts explain funding and advise on
HVAC options
Send a link to a friend
01, 2012]
The Chester-East Lincoln school board
had a special meeting on Thursday to address some important issues
that had come up since the scheduled meeting earlier in the month.
The board also discussed a few more details that were not addressed
at the regular meeting in regard to the potential building projects.
After brief discussion, the board accepted
three resignations. The school board does not have to take action in
the case of a resignation, but as stated in regulations, they do
have to accept resignations at a public hearing.
The first resignation was that of Karen Beverlin. Beverlin will
step down from her position as the school's business and compliance
director on Dec. 20. Superintendent Jennifer Hamm said that Beverlin
will continue to assist the school with the transition to
treasurer's reports beginning in January.
The other two resignations accepted by the board were from board
Joel Vinson has decided to step down from the board due to
conflicting priorities in his personal life. Hamm said Vinson told
her he was working on a special homeland security project that he
could not openly discuss. Vinson also told Hamm that he would be
more than happy to help the school in any capacity that was open to
him in the future.
The other resigning board member is the board president, Keith
Birnbaum. According to Kenny Golden, who has been the vice
president, Birnbaum is also facing conflicting priorities outside of
CEL, though he did not provide exact details.
Public comments
Jeff Brooks, former CEL school board president, stepped forward
to voice some concerns.
Brooks expressed his concern over the financial capabilities of
the school as they move into the future. Brooks said that while he
understands that the potential building projects would not be a
drain on the education fund, other upcoming expenses, such as paying
for teacher retirement, will.
"I understand that that won't affect your (the school board's)
building project, but that's going to affect the ed. fund, it's
going to affect the amount of money you've got coming in, and you're
not going to be able to afford all of that and keep the ed. fund
up," Brooks said.
Brooks also said, as to the school's finances, he has looked at
the figures that have been released to the public, and he does not
believe that the school will be able to pay off the costs of these
"You're (the board) making a lot of assumptions over a 20-year
period," he said, referring to the idea of the 1 percent sales tax
remaining stable over the likely amount of time it would take to pay
off the building projects via financial bonding.
Brooks did say to the board that the recent upgrades to create a
more energy-efficient school -- such as the new windows that have
been installed in the oldest wing -- are a good idea, but overall,
he thinks that the school needs to re-examine their priorities.
Brooks also told the board that he is not satisfied with the lack
of up-to-date meeting minutes on the school website. Furthermore,
Brooks considers the minutes to be vague and lacking in a summary.
"I can't make heads or tails of those minutes," said Brooks.
Paying for the projects
Ann Noble of Stifel Nicolaus was present to address the board.
Stifel Nicolaus is a finance company that will be working with CEL
in trying to sell bonds to pay for any potential building projects.
Noble provided a little more information as to their options.
The school would be using fixed-rate bonds to pay for the
improvements. The bonds would be paid back with a likely, though not
definitive, estimated interest rate of around 3 percent.
[to top of second column]
Before the school can sell any bonds at all, a third party will
need to be brought in to complete a feasibility study as to the
school's ability to repay. Should the borrowing be deemed feasible,
the school could borrow an amount up to 80 percent of the annual 1
percent sales tax received. The remaining 20 percent would be left
as a cushion, which could be used to pay for different projects that
were not specified as being paid for with bonds.
Usually, bonds take 20 years to pay back. Should the school wish
to pay the money back sooner, the interest rate would be higher.
Renovation costs and floor plan
Mark Graves, an employee of CTS Group, was present to inform the
board of a few suggestions to make the most out of their financial
situation in relation to the renovation projects. CTS Group is an
engineering firm that would be working with BLDD Architectural on
the improvements.
Graves echoed statements from previous meetings with the board by
saying that the existing building is structurally very sound, and
the school is fortunate to have a solid structure to work with.
One of Graves' biggest concerns with the existing building is the
heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, or HVAC. As it
stands currently, the school operates with one boiler, no internal
air-conditioning system and poor ventilation. Graves also said that
members of the public who have been engaged in the design process
share the same concern.
Graves suggested that the board could install the new heating
system first and wait to install an air-conditioning system until a
later date. The air-conditioning system would make use of existing
pipework within the school.
Other issues Graves touched on were the outdated electrical
systems in the school, the lack of a secure main entrance to the
building and easier access to the cafeteria during the school day.
Graves also provided some figures to the board as to how much
money is available through grants. There are Illinois Clean Energy
Community Foundation grants available in a total amount of $20,650.
Federal grants could provide another $78,056.
Finally, Graves suggested that the board could defer certain
parts of the project to a later date. Currently, there is no plan
set in stone for which improvement is made to the school first.
However, Graves also warned the board that delaying too much of the
process could result in increased building costs and interest on the
bonds needed. Starting over entirely would cost the school more
money in trying to come up with new designs.
At the previous meeting, the board was shown a potential floor
plan for the school improvements. Jean Underwood, an employee of
BLDD, was present to show the board a slightly altered floor plan.
The largest change in the plan concerned the cafeteria. If the
board sticks with the new floor plan, they could feasibly fit more
students into the new cafeteria and reduce the number of lunch
periods in the school day to two. As a result, students would have a
longer time for lunch than with the current schedule of four lunch
The other major change to the plan was the inclusion of a larger
storage room. This storage room would likely be used for school
records, which are currently stored off-site due to a lack of space.
Hamm said that storing the records on-site would save the school
around $1,400 a year.
A new public hearing will be held on Monday at 5 p.m. to provide
the public with another opportunity to weigh in on this process.
Board members present were Kenny Golden, vice president; Tina
Warfel; Larry Hall; Ben Roland; Leslie Starasta; and Superintendent
Jennifer Hamm.

Apple secures iPhone patent that could be huge blow to rivals
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Editorial
Apple has been awarded its long sought-after patent on the iPhone. Intellectual property experts say it's so broad and far-reaching that the iPhone maker may be able to bully other smart phone manufacturers out of the U.S. market entirely.
Some three-and-a-half years after filing for a patent on the iPhone, Apple on Tuesday was awarded U.S. patent number 7,966,578 for "[a] computer-implemented method, for use in conjunction with a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display, [that] comprises displaying a portion of page content, including a frame displaying a portion of frame content and also including other content of the page, on the touch screen display."
That's just the beginning of the abstract for Apple's iPhone patent, which the company filed back in December 2007. It gets quite a bit more technical in its full form, but there's one thing patent experts consulted by PCMag agree on—Apple has been awarded an incredibly broad patent that could prove to be hugely problematic for other makers of capacitive touch-screen smartphones.
Apple's patent essentially gives it ownership of the capacitive multitouch interface the company pioneered with its iPhone, said one source who has been involved in intellectual property litigation on similar matters. That's likely to produce a new round of lawsuits over the now-ubiquitous multitouch interfaces used in smartphones made by the likes of HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Research in Motion, Nokia, and others that run operating systems similar in nature to Apple's iOS, like Google's Android, said the source, who asked not to be named.
What's more, the patent seems broad enough in scope to cover virtually any mobile device with an interface that incorporates the finger movements used to operate Apple's touchscreen devices, the source said.
That means tablets that are similar to Apple's iPad, and media players with iPod touch-like interfaces could also be targets for Apple's legal team.
Another patent expert said Apple could use its newly awarded patent to "bully" rivals.
"This patent covers a kind of functionality without which it will be hard to build a competitive smartphone," said Florian Mueller, an award-winning intellectual property activist with 25 years of software industry expertise who blogs at Foss Patents.
"Unless this patent becomes invalidated, it would allow Apple to stifle innovation and bully competitors."
Mueller did caution that the courts wouldn't likely take Apple's side if potential legal opponents were able to show that they didn't just ape the iPhone's touchscreen interface finger swipe for finger swipe.
"The way to read a patent claim is that it's only infringed if the accused technology is implemented in its entirety—all of the characteristics must be matched," he said.
"In this case, large parts of the independent claims 1 and 2 describe a smartphone, but there are also specific references to the 'translation' (in terms of relocation) of touchscreen contents with a touch gesture. Only a smartphone providing that functionality could be accused of infringement."
The first source also noted that Apple's intellectual property rights could be construed to cover just the iPhone interface's interaction with Web pages. But that's still a pretty problematic scenario for makers of iPhone-like smartphones, the source added.
"This patent covers smartphones that allow a user to manipulate the display of a Web page with finger gestures using different fingers and/or combinations of fingers, so it appears broad enough to cover all modern touchscreen smartphones because they all allow you to use one finger to move the Web page left or right, and a combination of two fingers to zoom in and zoom out of the Web page," the source said.
There are a few ways the awarding of Apple's iPhone patent could play out in the coming days, said the source.
Apple could conceivably restrict makers of touchscreen smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices from selling their products in the U.S. More likely is that Apple would reach a settlement with such competitors and start licensing its patented technology for a tidy new income stream.
If Apple does decide to play hardball and squeeze out rivals rather than set up cross-licenses, the source said, it's entirely possible that a court could find it in the public interest to scrap the patent rather than allow a monopoly on what has become a defining interface for an entire category of consumer devices.

Maddy McCann Tips Pour in After Televised Appeal for Info
Some tipsters even give a name to man seen carrying a blonde girl.
PRAIA da LUZ, Portugal -- Police received an "overwhelming response" from the public after Monday night's appeal for information relating to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the British girl who vanished six years ago while on a family holiday to Portugal.
The appeal was launched at 9 p.m. Monday on the British TV show Crimewatch and has received over 300 calls and over 170 emails, police say.
"We are extremely pleased with the response to the Crimewatch appeal," Detective Chief Inspector Andy Redwood said.
"It went better than expected," the editor of Crimewatch Joe Mather said when he spoke to the BBC's Radio 4 Today program.
Police showed sketches of several "persons of interest," including one who is described as being between 20-40 years old and of average height and build, was allegedly seen with a young blonde-haired child, around 3-4 years old and possibly wearing pajamas, walking near the McCann's apartment down towards the beach about 10 p.m. on the night she disappeared.
Mather is encouraged by the public's response to this particular sighting. "They received several names for the key 10 p.m. sighting, the sighting of the man carrying a child towards the beach. Several different names, but also several callers mentioning the same name for that man."
Redwood said however that while this could be the man that took Madeleine, there could also be an innocent explanation.
The appeal, which will also be broadcast in the Netherlands, Germany and Ireland, is part of a new push by British police to crack the case of the girl's disappearance on May 3, 2007 from the resort town of Praia da Luz.
Having taken "everything back to the beginning," Redwood says the police are now working with an altered timeline and version of events surrounding Madeleine's disappearance. "Our focus in terms of understanding what happened on the night of May 3 has now given us a shift of emphasis."
The police are looking closely at a window of time around 10 p.m. when Kate McCann says she left dinner at a tapas restaurant less than 100 yards from the apartment to check on Madeleine and her brother and sister only to find her missing.
In previous investigations, the police had been focusing on an earlier timeframe so now police are calling on people that may have seen anything suspicious around the McCann's residence at this later time.
Officials have suggested there are some signs that point to a "pre-planned abduction," with the authorities looking into whether the case could be linked to burglaries and fake charity collections in the area.
Police have released sketches of several "persons of interest" but one, who is described as being between 20-40 years old and of average height and build, was allegedly seen with a young blonde-haired child, around 3-4 years old and possibly wearing pajamas, walking near the McCann's apartment down towards the beach.
As well as releasing e-fit images, the 25-minute Crimewatch appeal also consisted of a reconstruction of events leading up to Madeleine's disappearance and interviews with Kate and Gerry McCann. On the program, Kate revealed the moment that, "panic kicked in," after she arrived back at the apartment to find an open window and Madeleine, gone.
Redwood will now travel to the Netherlands and Germany as there were a number of tourists from these countries staying in Praia da Luz when Madeleine went missing. The program was not broadcast on Portuguese television.

Application Procedures for Degree-Seeking Students
Degree-seeking students applying to UW-Green Bay should submit the University of Wisconsin undergraduate application. The application can be found online at www.apply.wisconsin.edu. If you prefer a paper application, you can print a PDF from that website.
Test Scores
Freshman applicants, and transfer applicants who have completed fewer than 15 transferable college credits at the time of application, must submit official ACT/SAT test scores prior to an admission decision being made. Test scores must be transmitted to UW-Green Bay directly from the testing agency. Personal copies, photocopies, or scores recorded on a high school transcript are not considered official.
New freshmen must request that a copy of the high school transcript be sent directly to the Office of Admissions at UW-Green Bay. Many students are admitted to the University on the basis of grades earned through the junior year in high school, plus a listing of the classes carried in the senior year. In this way, they may be admitted before high school graduation. The University must receive a final copy of the transcript after graduation to verify that the student has, indeed, graduated and has maintained a satisfactory academic record. This must be received prior to the student beginning classes at UW-Green Bay.
Changes on a transcript from what was originally reported (for example, dropped or failed classes or a drop in GPA) may alter the admission decision. A cancellation of admission may result, especially if there is a serious drop in GPA and grades.
Other students may be asked to provide grades through the senior year of high school to assist the Admissions Review Committee in making the best possible evaluation of their potential for achievement.
Students who hold GED or HSED diplomas must have an official score report for the GED/HSED sent directly to UW-Green Bay by the agency or school.
Transfer students must request that official transcripts be sent directly to UW-Green Bay from all post-secondary schools attended. Transfer students with fewer than 15 completed transferable credits must also have a high school transcript and official ACT/SAT scores sent directly to UW-Green Bay.
All students who have attended nursing, business, and vocational and technical colleges must submit those transcripts as well. (Transcripts from noncollege training schools attended as part of military service are not required.) Students must submit the records whether or not the work was completed and regardless of their desire to request UW-Green Bay credit for the courses.
Credits from Wisconsin Technical College System campuses may be accepted on a limited basis, in the areas of general education, science and math. In addition, many nursing programs have articulation agreements for students entering the UW-Green Bay Nursing Completion Program that may allow for transfer of additional credits. Credit transfer equivalencies between UW campuses and the WTCS campuses can be found at http://tis.uwsa.edu.
Admission application priority dates are tentative and may change depending upon enrollment capacities. Applications submitted after priority dates will be considered as space permits. Applications typically are accepted after the priority dates listed below. Deadlines can be found for the current application term at http://www.uwgb.edu/admissions/deadline/.
Note that while we will accept applications on September 1, we comply with the UW System application processing "start date" of September 15. Students applying on September 1 will not be advantaged in any way over students who submit an application on September 15.
Application Fee
A non-refundable application fee is required of anyone applying for admission as a new freshman and for most transfer students. The fee is currently $50. The fee is not required if you last attended a UW Colleges (freshman/sophomore) campus as a degree-seeking student, or if you previously attended UW-Green Bay as a degree-seeking student. The application fee is subject to change based on the actions of the University of Wisconsin System. If the application fee is a hardship for your family please submit the application fee waiver http://www.uwgb.edu/admissions/files/fee-waiver-request.pdf

|Coal miners - Pennsylvania (Luzerne or Carbon County, Pennsylvania)
This is a repost from last Labor Day, but one that I think is worth remembering each year. I hope you enjoy it.
Be thankful we live today. The term "labor" certainly isn't what it used to be. I come from coal miners and teachers. My husband from farmers mostly, but also cheese makers, woodworkers, and my father-in-law was a truck driver.
To be a coal miner...well, I don't really like thinking about it too much. Always wondering if your husband and sons come home that night? If they came home, would they be broken and able to continue working? I can't imagine sending my young sons off to work in the coal mines, but that's what my ancestors did. Boys went to work in the mines as soon as they were able. Girls helped mom raise the babies and do the housework (which was a LOT harder than today). They had gardens and chickens in their yards to help feed their families. They made their own clothes and had few tech-gadgets to make their lives easier.
|Feeding her birds
One room schoolhouses. Teaching all grade levels at once, but eventually schools changed and became more what I remember as a child and teenager. Teaching though is still a thankless job more often than not. Where would we be without our teachers? I get emails and comments about my grandfather and what a wonderful teacher and role model he was (and strict). I have obituaries that show how much my great aunt achieved in her lifetime and how respected she was (you can read about her here).
My father-in-law, like many truck drivers today spent the week driving and would come home on the weekends to see his family. His wife took care of their 5 children while he was away. Sacrifice and a strong and loving family. He worked for Schneider United. The "United" meant it was unionized. Schneider busted that union by hiring new truck drivers that would work for a little more money up front, no pensions and diminished benefits. They didn't fire the unionized drivers, they merely waited for them to retire. Now Schneider National stands in its place. Same company...less security for the drivers and their families. My father-in-law was able to retire comfortably and when he passed my mother-in-law was able to receive his pension and continue to live well.
As for the farmers in our family, well I can only imagine how difficult working on a farm must have been. I am so not a morning person and I can only imagine having to rise early to tend the crops and animals.
|Feeding the chickens
Labor Day hardly means what it once did. What it must have meant to our ancestors. Our ancestors that just wanted an honest day's wage for an honest day's labor. To be able to live in dignity and raise their families from what was frequently an impoverished and brutally hard life. Labor Unions fought for:
-Overtime pay
-A tolerable length for the work week and workday
-Minimum wage
-Paid vacation and sick days
-Safety standards
-Child Labor Laws
-Health benefits
-Retirement security
-Unemployment compensation
You would not have had Labor Day if there had not been unions. Unions pushed for a day to celebrate America's laborers. States passed laws marking the holiday, but it wasn't until August 28, 1893 that Labor Day became a National holiday.
|Schoolhouse from an old family album
I would not dishonor my ancestors to disparage what is a wonderful part of our American history. The Labor Union and Labor Day will always be connected. Even if people sometimes refuse to acknowledge the connection. Our ancestors changed this country so that their children and grandchildren would be able to live a better life than they did. Not a life of sloth as many wrongfully think of unionized labor, but an honest day's wage. An honest day's work.
Today I celebrate Labor Day and my ancestors that helped make working in America better for everyone. I will keep their hard work and intentions alive and I thank them for their sacrifices so that my life was better than theirs. May we always be a country that values it's workers.

MARIE, Mich. – It may have been word of the year in some wheelhouses, but "refudiate" wasn't looked upon favorably by many who sent in nominations for Lake Superior State University's 36th annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness, which was released on New Year's Eve.
In a busy U.S. election year, "the American People" told LSSU they were tired of not only "refudiate," but also "mama grizzlies" who wanted their opponents to "man up."
But words and phrases related to technology and the way we communicate dominated the list for 2011, including "viral," "epic," "fail," and the use of websites "Facebook" and "Google" as verbs. "Viral" received the most nominations.
The "back story" on LSSU's popular list began on Jan. 1, 1976, when former LSSU Public Relations Director Bill Rabe and a group of friends each contributed a few expressions that they disliked to form the first list. After that, the nominations stacked up for future lists and Rabe's group, known then as The Unicorn Hunters, didn't have to make up its own list again. LSSU receives well over 1,000 nominations annually through its website.
And now, here's a look at the 2011 list. Get ready for the "wow factor!" It's full of "epic" "a-ha moments" that are sure to go "viral." It's a no-"fail" list that you'll be "facebooking" and "googling" with your "BFFs." "Just sayin'."
"Often used to describe the spreading of items on the Internet i.e. 'The video went viral.' It is overused. I have no objection to this word's use as a way to differentiate a (viral) illness from bacterial." Jim Cance, Plainwell, Mich.
"This linguistic disease of a term must be quarantined." Kuahmel Allah, Los Angeles, Calif.
"Events, photographs, written pieces and even occasional videos that attracted a great deal of attention once were simply highly publicized, repeated in news broadcasts, and talked about for a few days. Now, it is no longer enough to give such offerings their 15 minutes of fame, but they must be declared to 'go viral.' As a result, any mindless stunt or vapid bit of writing is sent by its creators whirling around the Internet and, once whirled, its creators declare it (trumpets here) 'viral!' Enough already! If anything is to be declared worthy enough to 'go viral,' clearly it should be the LSSU Banished Words list for 2011!" Lawrence Mickel, Coventry, Conn.
"I knew it was time when the 2010 list of banished words appeared in Time magazine's, 'That Viral Thing' column." Dave Schaefer, Glenview, Ill.
"I didn't mind much when 'viral' came to mean an under-handed tactic by advertising companies to make their ads look like pop culture. However, now anything that becomes popular on YouTube is suddenly 'viral.' I just don't get it." Kevin Wood, Wallacetown, Ont.
"Every time I see a viral video on CNN or am asked to 'Let's go viral with this' in another lame e-mail forwarded message, it makes me sick." Lian Schmidt, Bandon, Ore.
More than one nominator says the use of 'epic' has become an epic annoyance.
"Cecil B. DeMille movies are epic. Internet fallouts and opinions delivered in caps-lock are not. 'Epic fail,' 'epic win', 'epic (noun)' -- it doesn't matter; it needs to be banished until people recognize that echoing trite, hyperbolic Internet phrases in an effort to look witty or intelligent actually achieves the opposite." Kim U., Des Moines, Iowa.
"Over-use of the word 'epic' has reached epic proportions. Tim Blaney, Snoqualmie, Wash.
"Anything that this word describes in popular over-usage is rarely ever 'epic' in the traditional sense of being heroic, majestic, or just plain awe-inspiring." Mel F., Dallas, Tex.
"Standards for using 'epic' are so low, even 'awesome' is embarrassed." Mike of Kettering, Ohio.
"I'm sure that when the history books are written or updated and stories have been passed through the generations, the epic powder on the slopes during your last ski trip or your participation in last night's epic flash mob will probably not be included. This may be the root of this epic problem, but it seems as if during the past two years, any idea that was not successful was considered an 'epic-fail.' This includes the PowerPoint presentation you tried to give during this morning's meeting, but couldn't because of technical problems. Also, the ice storm of 'epic proportions' that is blanketing the east coast this winter sure looks a lot like the storm that happened last winter." DV, Seattle, Wash.
One nominator says, "what originally may have been a term for a stockbroker's default is now abused by today's youth as virtually any kind of 'failure.' Whether it is someone tripping, a car accident, a costumed character scaring the living daylights out a kid, or just a poor choice in fashion, these people drive me crazy thinking that anything that is a mistake is a 'fail.' They fail proper language!"
"Fail is not a noun. It is not an adjective. It is a verb. If this word is not banned, then this entire word banishment system is full of FAIL. (Now doesn't that just sound silly?)" Daniel of Carrollton, Ga.
"When FAILblog.org went up, it was a funny way to view videos of unfortunate people in unfortunate situations. The word fail is now used by people, very often just to tease others, when they 'FAIL.' Any time you screw up in life -- a trip up the stairs, a bump into a wall, or a Freudian slip, you get that word thrown in your face." Tyler Lynch, Washington, Iowa.
"Mis-used. Over-used. Used with complete disregard to the 'epic' weight of the word. Silence obnoxious reality TV personalities and sullen, anti-establishment teenagers everywhere by banishing this word." Natalie of Burlington, Ont.
"It has taken over blogs, photo captions, 'status' comments. Anytime someone does something less than perfect, we have to read 'FAIL!' The word has failed us all." Aaron Yunker, Ishpeming, Mich.
"This buzzword is served up with a heaping of cliché factor and a side order of irritation. But the lemmings from cable-TV cooking, whatever design and fashion shows keep dishing it out. I miss the old days when 'factor' was only on the math-and-science menu." Dan Muldoon, Omaha, Neb.
"Done-to-death phrase to point out something with a somewhat significantly appealing appearance." Ann Pepper, Knoxville, Tenn.
"All this means is a point at which you understand something or something becomes clearer. Why can't you just say that?" Audrey Mayo, Killeen, Tex.
"This should be on the list of words that don't need to exist because a perfectly good word has been used for years. In this case, the word is 'history,' or, for those who must be weaned, 'story.'" Jeff Williams, Sherwood, Ariz.
"These chicks call each other BFF (Best Friends Forever) and it lasts about 10 minutes. Now there's BFFA (Best Friends For Awhile), which makes more sense." Kate Rabe Forgach, Ft. Collins, Colo.
"A stupid phrase when directed at men. Even more stupid when directed at a woman, as in 'Alexis, you need to man up and join that Pilates class!'" Sherry Edwards, Clarkston, Mich.
"Another case of 'verbing' a noun and ending with a preposition that goes nowhere. Not only that, the phrase is insulting, especially when voiced by a female, who'd never think to say, 'Woman up!'" Aunt Shecky, East Greenbush, NY.
"Can a woman 'man-up,' or would she be expected to 'woman-up?'" Jay Leslie, Portland, Maine.
"Not just overused (a 2010 top word according to the Global Language Monitor) but bullying and sexist." Christopher K. Philippo, Glenmont, NY.
"We had to put up with 'lawyer up.' Now 'man up,' too? A chest-thumping cultural regression fit for frat boys stacking beer glasses." Craig Chalquist Ph.D., Walnut Creek, Calif.
"Adding this word to the English language simply because a part-time politician lacks a spell checker on her cell phone is an action that needs to be repudiated." Dale Humphreys, Muskegon, Mich.
Kuahmel Allah of Los Angeles, Calif. wants to banish what he called 'Sarah Palin-isms': "Let's 'refudiate' them on the double!"
"Unless you are referring to a scientific study of Ursus arctos horribilis, this analogy of right-wing female politicians should rest in peace." Mark Carlson, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
"These politicians in Congress say 'the American People' as part of what seems like every statement they make! I see that others have noticed it, too, as various websites abound, including an entry on Wikipedia." Paul M. Girouard, St. Louis, Mo.
"No one in Washington can pontificate for more than two sentences without using it. Beyond overuse, these people imply that 'the American people' want/expect/demand all the same things. They don't." Dick Hilker, Loveland, Colo.
"Aren't all Americans people? Every political speech refers to the 'American' people as if simply saying 'Americans' (or 'people') is not enough." Deb Faust, Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
"'A phrase used to diffuse any ill feelings caused by a preceded remark,' according to the Urban Dictionary. Do we really need a qualifier at the end of every sentence? People feel uncomfortable with a comment that was made and then 'just sayin'' comes rolling off the tongue? It really doesn't change what was said. I'm just sayin'." Becky of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
"I'm just sayin'...'I'm not sayin'''…Actually, you ARE saying… SAY what you are saying. DON'T SAY what you aren't saying." Julio Appling, Vancouver, Wash.
"Obviously you are saying it…you just said it!" Catherine Wilson, Granger, Ind.
"And we would never have known if you hadn't told us." Bob Forrest, Tempe, Ariz.
"When a 24-hour news network had the misguided notion to brand this phrase as a commentary segment called, 'Just sayin', I thought I was going to wretch." Casey Conroy, Pleasant Hill, Calif.
FACEBOOK/GOOGLE as verbs
"Facebook is a great, addicting website. Google is a great search engine. However, their use as verbs causes some deep problems. As bad as they are, the trend can only get worse, i.e. 'I'm going to Twitter a few people, then Yahoo the movie listings and maybe Amazon a book or two." Jordan of Waterloo, Ont.
"It's an absurdity followed by a redundancy. First, things are full or they're not; there is no fullest. Second, 'live life' is redundant. Finally, the expression is nauseatingly overused. What's wrong with enjoying life fully or completely? The phrase makes me gag. I'm surprised it hasn't appeared on the list before." Sylvia Hall, Williamsport, Penn.

Recycling is something in which we all have a role to play. It's one of the easiest ways we can contribute to protecting our environment. When it comes to recycling at home, there often seems to be a mismatch between our good intentions and our actions and in many countries around the world, less than a third of us recycle at home.
How can we nudge people to incorporate better recycling habits into their daily routines at home? What tools, campaigns or services might we design to support habit changes that stick? Together with Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) – one of the world's largest independent bottlers of Coca-Cola products – we're asking the OpenIDEO community to help us find creative ways to encourage people to recycle at home.

Country music singer, songwriter and actress Dolly Parton stopped by "The Tonight Show" and dished on her long marriage and new album before making Jimmy Fallon get in touch with his feminine side.
First, Fallon asked Parton how she has managed to keep her marriage with husband Carl Thomas Dean fresh all these years. On the 30th of this month, the couple will celebrate their 48th wedding anniversary.
"I've only had one husband but with all the nips and tucks and plastic surgery I've had he swears he's been with at least three wives," Parton said.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
She explained that the two first met the first day she moved to Nashville in 1964. She was taking a walk outside while doing her laundry when he drove up to her and tossed her a line. Two years later they were married.
"People say how do make it last so long and I say I stay gone," Parton joked.
"Is the romance still there?" Fallon asked.
"I always can tell when he's in the mood cause I'll be piddling around in the house and he'll write a little note that says 'while you're out why don't you pick up some viagra?'" Parton admitted.
"Very subtle," Fallon joked.
Fallon brought up the singer's 42nd album, "Blue Smoke," that includes duets with Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson.
"It actually got better reviews than anything I've released in 10 years," Parton said.
Then, Fallon showed a picture of the 68-year-old's childhood home nestled on the Smokey Mountains in East Tennesse. She was one of 12 kids in the family.
"My dad was a farmer, my mom was the greatest," Parton said. "She had the greatest attitude, she'd say things like 'kids if we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had some eggs.'"
Finally, Fallon discussed the many wigs she wears on a daily basis.
"I do wear wigs all the time cause it's really handy and I'm always busy," Parton said. "I have at least 365, one for each day."
Parton told Fallon to put on the wig, which the late-night host couldn't refuse after the audience cheered him on.
Watch Fallon try on one of Parton's wigs above.

Dear Budget Fashionista,
I'm searching for a black handbag for daily use that will last for years. I am a stay at home mom, who does not have many handbags. I want to invest in a good black purse and make sure it is one that I will use and love for years. My question is this: What do I look for? Is there some sort list of questions I should ask myself before purchasing so that I do not have a remorse purchase?
Here's seven quick things you should do when looking for a quality handbag:
1. Smell It. Leather has a certain, slightly gamey smell to it. If it has no smell or smells like plastic, then most likely it's fake.
2. Do the oil test. Rub your finger on your skin or hair and then rub it on the leather of the purse. If it leaves a stain or a streak then it's not quality leather and/or it hasn't been treated properly. Good Leather repeals oil.
3. Check the stitching. Gently pull the bag the seams- does the stitching pull? If so, the imagine what will happen when you put all your stuff in there.
4. Do the scratch test. Gently scratch the surface of the bag. If the color of the scratch is different than the rest of the bag, than means the leather was painted on, rather than dyed through, and at some point the paint will chip. Also scratch the surface of the hardware to see if it's true metal or painted metallic . Again, if it's painted on, at some point it will chip.
5. Put it on your shoulder. It is comfortable or does it feel like it's slipping off your shoulder. It doesn't matter how cute the bag is, if it's not comfortable
6. Do the fit test. Take everything out of your current bag and place it inside the bag under consideration. Does it fit? If not, you easier have to get rid of some of the stuff in your bag (which is probably a good idea) or move on to the next candidate.
7. Check to see if it's lined. Lining, both in handbags and in clothing, is a sign of a higher quality garment because it costs the manufacturer extra to add it it. In the case of handbags, lining protects the leather of the bag from the wear and tear of the contents of your bag.
8. Keep the embellishments to a minimum. The one thing that can really date a bag is the use of embellishments like feathers or dated fabrics (think stonewashed denim). Make sure the bag has basic black stitching and hardware that errs on the simple side.
Fashion Advice: How to Buy A Purse
Dear Budget Fashionista,

I'll be honest, the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup became sort of an afterthought following the Fire's disappointing overtime exit to the Michigan Bucks back in May.
I believe FDR biographer Hugh Gallagher said it best when speaking about the former President's attitude towards his paralysis, "Denial is a useful thing in its place." With the team knocked out, it just became easier to take this route.
Of course as the summer went on and the tournament reached its final rounds, we were all faced with the scary prospect of seeing Seattle Sounders FC equal our club's MLS-record four Open Cup titles. Come mid-July, the only thing that stood in their way was Sporting KC, who to some great resentment in Cascadia, outbid the three-time defending champions to host the final at LiveSTRONG Sporting Park.
With the news that his second-year stadium would host the final, Sporting CEO and serial tweeter Robb Heineman was understandably excited and encouraged the traveling support from Seattle to join in what would be a vibrant night at his newish stadium.
It is well known in MLS supporter's circles that LiveSTRONG isn't exactly as open in accommodating away fans in the same way that most other MLS stadia are (mainly with the use of flag poles). With that in mind, Sporting KC supporter @KarahM318 followed up on his tweet and Heineman even went a step further.
Flag poles for the final! Why not?
Certainly Heineman had already recognized the stature of the occasion when the bid money cleared his checking account but it was a great move on the club's part to allow Sounders FC fans to support their team in a way they're used to in the Final.
Despite severe weather that delayed the start of the match, the audible and visual atmosphere created by both sides was fantastic. While we're no fan of rave green in these parts, the contrasting flags (on poles) looked great.
(Photo Courtesy of Aaron Riner)
Of course in the end, Sporting thwarted Seattle's bid to tie the Fire's Open Cup record and for that, we're all thankful.
Perhaps enthused by KC's willingness to allow Seattle fans help create more atmosphere at the match, Section 8 Chicago Chairman Joel Biden tweeted to Heineman asking if the same courtesy would be afforded Fire supporters upon their visit there in September…
Robb's response…
And this leads to the crux of the problem.
I have the utmost respect for Robb Heineman and what his group has accomplished in KC but if memory serves, it was he that was the biggest champion of his club's new-found rivalry with the Fire last year. Seeing rivalries as organic things that come through supporters and a history of on-the-field battles, the Fire front office didn't go along with the "plan".
Given Heineman's tweet, I'm left to wonder if he and Sporting have left the "rivalry" behind and if that's the case, then why?
Does it have to do with the Fire's domination since it "started"? (The Men in Red are 3-0-1 against Sporting KC since it "began" last year).
If not, I have to ask why the season series finale against your biggest rival, one that has certain MLS Cup playoff implications isn't deemed, "special"? Certainly allowing the traveling support from Chicago to wave flags in your stadium will make your place that much better for the national television audience tuning in on NBC Sports Network…
When Sporting KC brought 400 people to watch the Men in Red take one of their aforementioned "rivalry" victories this past May, the Fire allowed those from the KC Cauldron to wave flags in support of their team throughout the 2-1 loss. It's a practice that's long been in place at Toyota Park, even going back to those days that Sporting were known as the Wizards (see photo below).
Maybe it's supporter-style gamesmanship, or perhaps PVC piping is just more dangerous in Kansas but the vast majority of MLS stadia allow this type of support from both sides of fans.
MLS has a league-wide list of in-stadium Supporters Exemptions that allow for the use of drums, horns and other musical instruments, banners and signs that meet what can be described as a "good taste" criteria and most importantly to this blog, flags on poles.
The caveat is that all use of the above items are "permitted at locations and times determined by the club or venue management."
LiveSTRONG Sporting Park security has already proven capable of dealing with the waving flags in the stands, so really what is the issue?
Should MLS stadia that currently allow this type of support take a "quid pro quo" approach with fans whose home venues do not? Should there be a true, across the board set of standards for visiting supporters throughout the league's 19 home venues?
In either case, I challenge Fire supporters to agitate for this right at LiveSTRONG Sporting Park when the team looks to sweep the season series there on Friday, September 28.
If you agree with this article, tweet it or even just your thoughts on the subject to @SportingKC and most importantly their CEO @RobbHeineman using hashtag #FearTheFlag. Or use the tweet button to the right and it'll do it all for you!
Flag poles or not, a contingent from Section 8 Chicago and Sector Latino will be heading to support the Fire at next month's all-important match at LiveSTRONG Sporting Park. Secure your bus and match ticket by clicking here.

|How to get rid of a lot of carbon dioxide, quick? Some scientists are saying we need to take emergency action to slow global warming. In this hour, we'll hear from scientist James Lovelock, creator of the Gaia hypothesis, about his idea to spur the oceans to capture large amounts carbon. Under the plan, large vertical tubes placed in the ocean would bring nutrient-rich water from the ocean depths closer to the surface, feeding algal blooms that would absorb excess carbon dioxide. But can clever engineering help the Earth to heal itself? We'll talk about it in this segment.

The tourists, who have been reduced to 10 fit batsmen after an injury to JP Duminy, had Dale Steyn (15 not out) and debutant Rory Kleinveldt (1) at the crease as they approached the kind of position where they might consider a declaration.
Amla scored a third century in his last four Tests before falling for 104 to a harsh-looking lbw decision before lunch, leaving Kallis to bat on to 147 before he too was dismissed in the fourth over after the break.
Australian quick James Pattinson (3-93) had the experienced all rounder caught at gully by debutant Rob Quiney and then came back in his next over to remove AB de Villiers for 40, caught at point by David Warner.
Pace bowler Vernon Philander managed to bring up the 400 mark for his country with a huge six to deep midwicket before he too was caught, in the slips off Peter Siddle by Australia captain Michael Clarke for 11.
Steyn survived an lbw decision off the bowling of Ben Hilfenhaus thanks to the TV review system, leaving Jacques Rudolph to become Australia's seventh victim when he sliced a Nathan Lyon delivery to Quiney at cover for 31.
The tourists had resumed on 255 for two after the second day had been washed away by the Brisbane rain and although Australia's pace attack bowled better than they had on day one, Amla soon had the 10 runs he needed for his 17th Test hundred.
The 29-year-old cut Pattinson for the seventh four of his innings to reach the mark, continuing the purple patch that included a century against England at Lord's and an unbeaten 311 at the Oval.
Amla had added just one more run to his tally when a Peter Siddle ball caught him high on the pad and umpire Asad Rauf sent him back to the pavilion.
TV replays confirmed the ball would have gone over the stumps but Amla decided not to appeal after consulting Kallis and their 165-run partnership was over.
There was now a stiff breeze blowing over the Gabba but in the next over, the evergreen Kallis smacked two runs through midwicket to bring up his 44th Test hundred.
Kallis soon brought up the 300 for his country with a slashed four over point and he and De Villiers put together a 50 partnership in just 99 balls.
The Gabba paused for two minutes' silence in memory of the dead of the two World Wars but reflection failed to galvanise the Australian team and South Africa went into lunch at 357 for three.
South Africa's number one ranking is on the line in the series, which concludes with matches in Adelaide and Perth after Brisbane. – Reuters

A three-minute time-lapse video chronicling a remarkable makeover of a homeless United States Army veteran has received over seven million views online.
The video featuring Jim Wolf of Grand Rapids, Mich., was produced by community event organizer and filmmaker Rob Bliss. Bliss told The Blaze that he wanted to create a time-lapse video of a homeless person to show how "they can look like they're meant for the cover of GQ — they have that potential too."
He teamed up with Dégagé Ministries, a local Christian ministry that helps homeless veterans and others. There he met Wolf, a vet struggling with poverty and alcoholism.
U.S. & World
A local stylist and a production team volunteered to help with Wolf's makeover.
The video begins with a shot of Wolf with unkempt hair and ungroomed beard. For three hours he sits silently in a salon chair as stylist Anna Walt, snips, buzzes and dyes his hair. Wolf occasionally winces and closes his eyes.
His clothing is then changed to a crisp, white button-down. The look is completed with a tie and a navy-blue suit.
Wolf, who has not seen himself through the transformation process, is stunned when he finally sees his reflection.
"We all have an image of ourselves," Marge Palmerlee, executive director of Degage, told The Blaze. "When he saw the difference, he just … felt very enlightened and uplifted. I could just tell the difference in Jim."
Wolf is now attending Alcoholics Anonymous and plans to move into his own apartment, according to The Blaze.
With Veterans Day coming up, the video encourages people to donate to Degage Ministries "to help other homeless veterans."

Long-term immunity to measles after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation: factors associated with seroprotection before revaccination
Measles is a life-threatening viral infection that may occur after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), and until now, there has been no active antiviral treatment [1, 2]. After the introduction of the measles vaccine in the early 1980s, a decreased vaccinal coverage of the population was observed in many countries, leading to measles re-emergence, an increased risk of outbreaks worldwide and of the life-threatening disease appearing in immunocompromised patients. The worldwide number of measles deaths remains around 100,000 yearly [3, 4].

Sickle Cell Disease Fact Sheet
CIRM funds many projects seeking to better understand sickle cell disease and to translate those discoveries into new therapies.
More than 80,000 Americans have sickle cell disease and despite decades of research the average life expectancy has dropped from 42 in 1995 to 39 today. It is a disease that largely targets the African-American community and to a lesser degree the Hispanic community.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that causes red blood cells to assume a sickle shape under stress, clogging blood vessels and producing episodes of excruciating pain, called crises, and leading to progressive organ damage. By twenty years of age about 15 percent of people with sickle cell disease have had major strokes and by 40 almost half of the patients have significant mental dysfunction.
The most common recommendation for people with sickle cell disease is to stay hydrated. The more water a person drinks, the less likely it is that their abnormal blood cells will clog their blood vessels. Another effective treatment is a medication called hydroxyurea, which reduces crises by 50 percent and death by 40 percent, but most adults are not treated. The populations most effected by sickle cell disease also suffer from significant health care disparities, which lower the quality of care they receive for their disease.
Bone marrow transplants are used to treat children with the most severe cases of the disease. In fact one of CIRM's board members, Bert Lubin, MD, the President and CEO of Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland, has been a leader in developing this therapy for kids with sickle cell disease (his bio is here). The replacement bone marrow cells generate an entirely new blood system for the patient. However, bone marrow transplants are extremely risky and require a matched sibling donor and even under the best conditions there is always the risk of rejection.
Research funded by California's stem cell agency focuses on making bone marrow transplants safer and more effective for treating people with sickle cell disease. In one project, the researchers intend to remove bone marrow from the patient and fix the genetic defect in the blood-forming stem cells. Then those cells can be reintroduced into the patient to create a new, healthy blood system. Because the cells come from the patient this technique avoids the issue of rejection. Other researchers are developing ways of making bone marrow transplants safer.
Clinical Stage Programs
University of California, Los Angeles
This team of researchers plans to remove bone marrow cells from people with sickle cell disease and fix the genetic mutation that causes the disease. The team will then reintroduce the new cells into the patient. Those cells will then generate new, healthy blood cells.

Primary storage data reduction techniques for small and medium businesses
Data reduction is essential in a data storage environment. Learn which primary storage data reduction technique is right for your SMB.
Data reduction is a hot topic in enterprise data storage today, and it's easy to understand why. Reducing your data not only saves space, but it also reduces the amount of cables, switch ports and power and cooling equipment you need to have. Data reduction also saves time, money and operational tasks. This tip outlines different primary storage reduction techniques for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), including data deduplication technology, data compression, content-aware compression and source-level post-processing data reduction.
Data deduplication technology
Data deduplication technology is a good data reduction technology because it eliminates duplicate files, blocks or blocklets. Deduplication reduces a lot of data in secondary storage because a lot of duplications show up in data backup sets, snapshots and replications. Dedupe ratios typically range from 10:1 to as much as 500:1 depending on the type of data and timeframe, which is why most data backup software, virtual tape libraries (VTLs), and backup target storage appliances now have built-in data deduplication today.
But most data storage administrators are underwhelmed when target storage data deduplication is utilized on primary data storage systems. Systems such as EMC Corp. Celerra, EMC Data Domain, ExaGrid EX series, NetApp FAS and NetApp V-series, do not produce anywhere near the same results when used on primary data versus the results they get on backup, snapshot, or replicated data. They often average approximately an order of magnitude less as reported by actual production users and vendor testing. Results are worse because there are far less deduplicated data and the dedupe algorithms also tend to have problems with compressed data. Data compression changes the makeup of data blocks severely reducing block or blocklet duplications. And a lot of the unstructured primary data, such as Microsoft Office data (.pptx, .docx, .xlsx), JPEGS, MPEGs, PDFs, ZIPs, etc. are compressed.
The other issue with data deduplication is application and user performance. For example, writing and reading the data response times can be affected. Also, write performance can be negatively affected by either inline deduplication or post-processing deduplication. Inline deduplication takes time and adds latency by deduping the data before it's written. Post-processing deduplication requires data storage system cycles while it dedupes, which slows down system performance. Read performance is also negatively affected from the latency in rehydrating the data. The performance degradation may not matter for some applications such as server virtual machine golden system images and ISO files, which also provide the best dedupe results.
Data compression and primary storage
Data compression, (such as StorWize Inc.'s STN appliances), does a little better than deduplication with primary data (as reported by production users and vendor's testing). Data compression removes nulls from data, which gets the same or even a little better primary data reduction than dedupe with little or no impact on performance. However, data compression also has very little data reduction on already compressed data. The biggest impact comes from structured data, such as databases and email, as well as uncompressed files.
Content-aware compression
Content-aware compression, such as Ocarina Networks' optimizer, is another type of primary data storage reduction technology that surpasses both data deduplication and compression. It's a post-processing technology that decompresses files from their native format, removes duplicate storage objects, then recompresses them in their native formats. Or if they were not already compressed, it can compress the files after removing duplicate storage objects.
The two downsides to this technology is upfront and total cost of ownership and the requirement for a reader/decoder that allows the user or application to read the data after data deduplication and compression. The reader can exist on the user's workstation, server, application, or storage system.
Source-level post-processing data reduction
The third type of primary data storage reduction is source-level post-processing data reduction, which is geared toward SMBs. This type of data reduction is also content-aware but actually reduces application file size by getting rid of the file's "excess baggage" while converting embedded graphics to the most appropriate file format and resolution, which greatly reduces file size while having no affect on its visual content integrity. Source-level data reduction file optimization technology is deployed on file servers and/or desktops and priced well for SMBs. Source-level data reduction supports Microsoft Office files and JPEGS. Also, its effectiveness is similar to other content-aware technologies. Plus, it does not require any software to open or read files that have already been optimized. In other words, any user can read and modify an already optimized Microsoft Office or JPEG file without special software on their workstation.
However, source-level post-processing data reduction is limited to the file types it supports. It doesn't work with other file types or databases. Additionally, it has to be installed on the file servers or the desktops.
Overall, each of these primary data storage reduction technologies can be effective for SMB primary data reduction. Each provides pretty good data reduction, but they all have their downsides as well. Every data storage environment is different. The key thing to remember is to choose the primary data reduction technology that will provide the biggest reduction for the lowest total cost of ownership in your environment.

The FAFSA opens on October 1st this year, which means you should start gathering the information you'll need to complete it NOW! If you have more than one child in college, you may have questions about how to complete the FAFSA for multiple family members. Below you'll find some helpful information from the U.S. Department of Education's Homeroom blog - to read the post in its entirety, click here.
An FSA ID is a username and password combination that serves as your legal electronic signature throughout the financial aid process—from the first time your children fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA®) until the time their loans are paid off. You AND each of your children will need your own FSA ID. Parents and students can create their FSA IDs here. Each of your children will need to fill out a FAFSA.
Example: You have three children who are going to or who are in college. You'll need four FSA IDs—one for you as the parent (only one parent needs an FSA ID) and one for each child. You'll need to fill out three FAFSAs, one for each child.
Your children will also need to provide your (parent) information on their 2017–18 FAFSA unless they are going to graduate school, were born before January 1, 1994, or can answer "yes" to any of these questions.
Yes! Once your first child's FAFSA is complete, you'll get to a confirmation page. On the confirmation page, you'll see a hyperlink that says, "transfer your parents' information into a new FAFSA." Make sure you have your pop-up blocker turned off and click that link.
Tip: If you want the process to go as smoothly as possible, your second child should have his/her FSA ID handy so you're ready for the next step.
Having multiple children enrolled in college at the same time could have an impact on your children's eligibility for need-based federal financial aid. The information you provide on the FAFSA is used to calculate your child's Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is a combination of how much a parent and student are expected to contribute towards the student's cost to attend college. The EFC is not necessarily the amount of money your family will have to pay for college, nor is it the amount of federal student aid you will receive. It is a number used by your child's school to calculate how much financial aid he or she is eligible to receive. Since we recognize that a parent's annual ability to pay doesn't change as you have more children enroll in college, we divide the expected parent contribution portion by the number of children you expect to have in college.

Press freedom in Japan is constitutionally guaranteed and generally respected in practice. However, in December 2010, the general affairs committee of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly approved Bill 156 to amend the Youth Healthy Development Ordinance, which authors and fans of Japan's popular manga (comic books) criticized for limiting freedom of expression. Originally passed in 1964, the ordinance aims to promote the healthy development of minors by restricting their access to harmful published material. The amendment allows for the expansion of the definition of "harmful publications" and allows the government to regulate images if the depictions are "considered to be excessively disrupting of social order." In 2011, a government committee said it planned to submit a bill in 2012 that would create new punishments for leaking "special secrets" related to diplomacy, national security, and public order.
Concerns regarding the lack of diversity and independence in reporting are rooted in Japan's kisha kurabu, or press clubs. Through the press clubs, major media outlets maintain cozy relationships with bureaucrats and politicians, resulting in an arrangement under which journalists are granted access in exchange for refraining for writing critical stories. The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and the resulting disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, magnified this problem. Members of kisha kurabu were among the few journalists admitted to official press conferences, and admission was often granted in exchange for foregoing tough questions regarding the disasters. Additionally, freelance journalists and foreign and online media were excluded from reporting on the nuclear threat and were not allowed into official press conferences. In March 2011, freelance journalist and author Takashi Uesugi was removed from his weekly guest slot on the local TBS radio station because of his regular criticism of the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), which runs the nuclear plant. Following the catastrophe, a group of independent journalists who were fed up with the system launched the Free Press Association of Japan. It remains to be seen if this group will have any influence.
There were accusations of official censorship in the aftermath of the disaster, but the Japanese government denied that it had attempted to withhold negative information. Self-censorship remains a problem in Japan and was further highlighted after the disaster, as many reporters did not question TEPCO about the radiation leaks until two weeks later. The disaster also highlighted the amount of influence TEPCO has in Japan's advertising industry. TEPCO reportedly spends $120 million annually on advertising, a factor that contributed to the media's conservative reporting on the company. In mid-2011, press freedom groups voiced concern that the government might take control of TEPCO, but the organization maintained its independence through the year. Intimidation of journalists in Japan is rare, and there were no reported cases of this in 2011.
Japan has one of the highest print readerships in the world, but print outlets were hurt in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. Major news outlets recovered quickly. One small newspaper in the town of Ishinomaki—with no power or access to a printer or the internet—began writing articles by hand and delivering the papers to evacuation centers and areas where residents were most likely to gather. More than half of the national newspaper market is controlled by "the big three": the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Asahi Shimbun, and the Mainichi Shimbun. There is considerable homogeneity in reports, which relate the news in a factual and neutral manner. Television news content, once dominated by the public broadcaster NHK, has diversified considerably with the rising popularity of TV Asahi, Fuji TV, the Tokyo Broadcasting System, and satellite television. Japan also has roughly 228 community radio stations. The internet remained an important source of news, and around 80 percent of the population accessed the medium in 2011.
