As technology continues to advance and the global marketplace expands, how business is conducted constantly changes. Whether you're just entering the business world or you're looking to embark on a new career path, earning an online business degree can help you keep pace with the competition.
Which Business Degrees Can You Earn Online?
You can find online business degrees at every level, from basic diplomas and certificates to a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Your previous education as well as your career goals will dictate which online business degree program you choose.
A diploma, certificate or online business associate's degree will provide you with the entry-level skills needed to enter into a specific area of business like accounting or bookkeeping. A bachelor of science program will help prepare you for higher-ranking positions in management as well pave the way for pursuing an advanced business degree. The most-well known advanced business degree is the MBA, which is designed to give you the leadership skills needed to succeed in areas like corporate organizational management.
If you're looking for additional training, but not necessarily in need of a full degree, consider earning a specialized certificate. Many online degree programs offer specialized training in areas like project management or mentoring and coaching.
What You Can Study
Earning your business degree online doesn't mean you're limited to general areas of study. Many online business degree programs give you the option to focus on a single area of business, like management, marketing and communication, accounting, finance or administration. Additionally, you'll find online business degree programs that focus coursework within a field or industry, including:
- E-commerce. Online business degrees in e-commerce are often a combination of traditional business studies (accounting, finance, etc.) and specialized studies in electronic commerce law and operations, security and privacy, and management information systems.
- Entrepreneurship. Millions of people aspire to go into business for themselves and be their own boss. Online business degrees in entrepreneurship are structured to reflect the various skills entrepreneurs need and typically cover accounting, communication, ethics, finance, human resources and sales and marketing. Real-world case studies are often used as teaching tools.
- Health Care Management. With Baby Boomers getting closer to retirement age, the health care field is growing. There's a need for practitioners, but there's also a need for individuals who can manage the administration of the services and care provided, whether those originate at hospitals, government agencies, insurance or pharmaceutical companies or private-care facilities.
- Information Technology Management. Information technology management is broadly defined as computer hardware, software and network design, including Internet applications. Essentially, how computers process and manage data and information. Online business degrees in information technology management focus heavily on programming, operations, and data management, along with finance, personnel, project management, and communications.
- International Business. Online business degrees in international business helps managers, and thus companies, break through barriers to doing business outside their native country. Traditional business areas of study like accounting and finance show up in a curriculum that includes course work in international laws and trade and other aspects of international business like joint ventures.
Once you know what degree level you wish to pursue and the area of study you'd like to focus your online business degree, you'll need to do some research to locate online business degree programs that offer what you need at a price you can afford.
The most important thing to consider before you commit to any program is determining first, if the school that provides the online business degree is accredited and then, if the accrediting agency for that school is reputable. Accreditation isn't formally regulated and guidelines vary from state to state. Be sure the online business degree program you want to pursue is offered by a school whose accreditation agency is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council on Higher Education.
Financing Your Degree
The cost for an online business degree varies from program to program, however, on average the cost per individual credit of coursework is between $300 and $400. Just because a school is online however, that doesn't mean financial aid isn't available.
If you're working already, be sure to check whether your company offers tuition reimbursement as a benefit and if online business degrees are included in the tuitions covered.
You'll also want to see if the online business degree program you've chosen is offered by a school approved for federal student loans or offers other financial assistance packages to students. Most do, but some don't. Online schools aren't considered by banks to be any different than on-campus schools, so don't rule out a traditional student loan if other sources of financing don't pan out.
Planning for Success
Even the best online business degree programs won't further your education or career unless you're committed to doing the work. Online business degrees are flexible by nature, but that doesn't mean you can forget about time management. Making and sticking to a schedule to complete your course work is essential to succeeding in your online business degree program.
Other tools and tactics that will help you succeed in your online business degree program include establishing communication with your instructors and classmates over e-mail or using chat rooms and discussion boards.
Strong Internet and library research skills are also essential. Finally, if you live in a remote area where high-speed Internet service isn't available, limit your online business degree program options to those with an Internet connection minimum of dial up to ensure you'll always have access to the materials you need to download and can submit your course work on time.

in which we don't need no stinkin' pants.
I'm not that girly. I'm not going to lie. GoldDust tried once to put liquid eyeliner on me, and I cried before she even got one eye done. I'm just not a high maintenance female. I roll out of bed in the morning, brush my hair and teeth, and head out the door.
I forgot pants once because I was in such a daze.
This means, that when I go to the effort of getting dolled up, it's a big effort. On Tuesdays and Thursday mornings, however, sometimes I'll make the extra effort because I know I'll be seeing my BFF Poof, who runs a fashion blog. It's nice when our photos don't feature her being adorable and me in a t-shirt. But that's happened before.
One Tuesday and/or Thursday (I'm not sure which it was), I happened to be dolled up after playing photographer with Poof, and good things happened to happen. I got tickets to the most epic of epic things in the hockey world: tickets to the Winter Classic.
And you guys know that I love my hockey.
So, in a flurry of excitement and high energy, I headed to the most ideal place: Starbucks.
"Coffbanger," I tell my barista. "GUESS WHAT I HAVE?!"
Coffbanger happens to have been my barista for a long time standing, and thus, he knows of my hockey love. He guessed within three tries that it was hockey tickets, and laughed at my outwardly excessive amount of glee.
His co-worker was not such a good sport.
"Wait," the coworker tells me, interrupting Coffbanger's and my conversation. "You can't be a hockey fan."
Eyebrow raise here. The awkward silence says that he should stop talking.
The coworker continues, however. "You can't be a hockey fan. You're in a dress."
Cue the jaw drop. Of course, I would never take this lying down.
I'm so irritated. I'm tired of having to define icing to prove that I actually like hockey, as opposed to just wanting to hump Darren Helm*.
"Well," I tell him. I manage to keep smiling. No amount of anger can wipe my "I'm going to the Winter Classic" smile off my face. And then this spills out faster than they're making my coffee.
"You can't be a man, you're in skinny jeans."
Coffbanger, the coworker, and I are all silent for a moment before Coffbanger lets out a snort of laughter.
Seriously though. Can't a girl like her hockey in a dress?
Seriously. I looked fecking adorable.
Sound off, female hockey fans.
Can't a girl wear a dress and be a hockey fan? Or a sports fan?
I know I'm not the only one with sports colored knee socks for playoff games.
*the writer acknowledges that yes, she would also like to hump Darren Helm.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — One of three people charged in a fatal shooting outside a fast food restaurant in Topeka has been sentenced.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that 17-year-old Shayden Byrd was sentenced Tuesday for first-degree murder and two other charges in the death of 18-year-old Justice Mitchell.
Mitchell was found suffering from two gunshot wounds June 26 in the parking lot of a Church's Chicken. He was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Police say another suspect is accused of shooting Mitchell during a botched effort to rob him of drugs and cash. Byrd is accused of plotting the robbery with the suspected gunman.
Byrd was 16 years old at the time of the shooting and charged as a juvenile. He was sentenced to 60 months plus six months of aftercare.

Psychology Unit 3: Relationships
- Created by: Aagya.P
- Created on: 07-02-15 15:43
Formation: Reward / Need theory
Attraction occurs due to Direct Reinforcement:
- Rewarding stimuli = positive feelings
- Punishing stimuli = negative feelings
- We are more likely to form relationships with people who create positive feelings in us
Attraction can also be fuelled by ASSOCIATION:
- Individuals generate positive feelings in us if we associate them with positive events / situations
- A relationship is most successful when the positive feelings outweight the negatives
Formation: Reward / Need theory (A02)
- Participants asked to rate experimenter
- Found that: experimenter was rated higher if he/she gave them positive feedback
- A stranger was also rated = participants rated them higher if the experimenter had given positive feedback (supporting association)
- Assessed 300 individuals
- Found that satisfaction of reward level was important in determining relationship satisfaction
- HAYS suggested that satisfaction did not just occur by receiving rewards but by GIVING rewards too
- Most of the research has been conducted in labs so it may lack mundane realism
- Culture Bias: Theory was formulated in the west and so, cannot be fully applied in non-western countries as there are differences in our cultures
Formation: Similarity Theory (A01/2)
- Theory suggests that similiraties in attitudes and personality promotes attraction
- First step in the formation of relationships is to eliminate people who are dissimilar to us (then individuals pick from those most similar to them)
- more similarity (in personality and attitudes) = more attraction
- If there are dissimilarities (i.e. in their attitude to politics), an ATTITUDE ALIGNMENT may occur in order to reduce dissimilarities
- CASPI AND HERBENER: found that married couples with similar personalities were more happier than couples with dissimilar personalities
- LEHR AND GEHER: participants were more inclined to like an 'imaginary person' if their description suggested similarity in attitudes and personality
- This theory suggests that similarity is an important factor in formation of relationships because it: a) validates the other person (which is rewarding) and b) lowers chances of being rejected
- ROSENBAUM stated that dissimilarity is the more important trait when it comes to the formation of relationships (bc it avoids chances of rejection): the 'dissimilarity-repulsion' hypothesis has support from US and Singapore (universally applicable?)
Maintenance: Social Exchange Theory (A01)
Theory proposes that relationships are a series of exchanges
- Individuals want rewards (e.g. sex or companionship) in exchange for their costs (e.g. time spent on the relationship)
- The theory suggests that commitment to a relationship is dependent upon the rewards we receive from it (the higher the rewards = the more the commitment)
S.E.T. also introduces the 'Comparison Level':
- The CL is based on past relationships and helps individuals to determine whether their new relationships is more beneficial than their past ones
- If a NEW relationship is found to be more beneficial, a change may occur within the current relationship
Maintenance: Social Exchange Theory (A02/3)
There is evidence for the use of CL in real-life:
- The concept of the CL can help explain why some abuse victims continue to remain in the abusive relationship
- If they have invested a lot into the relationship (e.g. kids) and have no alternative options (no job or house), they may perceive their current relationship to be beneficial (so continue their commitment to it)
Theory is criticise for being too selfish:
- Not every individual is concerned with making person gains while in a relationship
The theory is unable to explain why some people leave relationships regardless of not having an alternative which shows that it provides a very limited explanation of relationships
- MOGHADDAM suggested that the theory is only applicable to individualistic cultures (bc it is focused on personal gains)
- It is not universally applicable since collectivist cultures are concerned about the benefits for their partner and others around them
- Development of IBCT which helps couples replace negative exchanges with positve exchanges to retain relationship satisfaction
Maintenance: Equity Theory (A01/2)
- Theory proposes that indivduals strive to achieve fairness in relationships
- Any sign of inequity can cause disastisfaction and may cause the relationship to breakdown (if the problem is not solved)
- Ratio of giving and receving should be the same for each individual
- Surveyed 200 married couples
- Found that relationship satisfaction was highest for couples who perceived their relationship to be equitable
- Relationship satisfaction lowered for couples who perceived themselves of being under-benefitted
- criticised the theory because they suggested that the theory looks at relationships with colleagues NOT romantic relationship (which are concerned more with wanting to provide support)
Gender differences challenges the study:
- Research found that women perceived their husband's jobs to be more important (a sign of inequity) however, this had no impact on their relationship satisfaction
Breakdown: Duck's reasons for breakdown
Reasons for breakdown:
- Lack of skills
- Lack of stimulation
- Maintenance difficulties
BOEKHOUT - found difference in reasons for breakdown among men and women - men cited sexual boredom / women cited emotional dissatifaction
HOLT AND STONE: management strategies can help avoid maintenance difficulties
Development of training programmes that help improve interpersonal skills
Cina found that the 'trained' couples reported higher satisfaction levels than 'untrained' couples
Breakdown: Duck and Rollie's model of breakdown
- Breakdown
- Intra-psychic process
- Dyadic process
- Social process
- Grave-dressing process
- Resurrection process
- surveyed undergrads who had recently broken up
- found that even though they had experience emotional distress, they had also been able to reflect upon the relationship and learn from it to help make their next relationship better (supporting resurrction process)
Valueing communication has positive implications because it allows for couples to try and employ repair strategies
- this topic is a very sensitive issue and researchers must be very cautious not to cause emotional distress as that may prevent any further research from being carried on
REDUCTIONIST: reduces a complex process to a simplified model
Sexual selection
- Darwin believed that evolution is driven by competition for mates
- There can be a development of certain characteristics which will help in ensuring reproductive success (these traits will then be passed down)
Intrasexual selection: (mate competition) members of one sex compete for the affection of a member from the opposite sex
Intersexual selection: (mate choice) members of one sex show a preference for certain characterisitcs (those who possess the quality will be viewed as a potential partner)
Mate-choice in real life: Studies have only expressed preferences instead of giving a true reflection of real life however, BUSS conducted a study which showed that men chose younger women which supports the mate-choice hypothesis
The logic of sexual selection is rational because individuals do want to acquire the best genes for their offspring (so they are reluctant / very picky when it comes to choosing partners)
Sexual selection: Short-term and Long-term mating
- Parental Investment theory suggests that MEN have evolved a greater desire for casual sex (bc they make less of an investment during reproduction)
- Women aren't able to do the same bc of the costs involved
- Men are more likely to lower standards/expectations when it comes to short-term mating
- CLARKE AND HATFIELD: college students approached by an actor who asked them to hang out/have sex. 75% of male students agreed to have sex whereas 0% of females agreed (supporting the theory)
- IDA: GENDER BIAS: Greiling suggested that research overlooks the fact that women engage in short-term mating / relations too
- Sexual selection is higher bc the investment is much higher
- Women are very picky as they want a partner who can provide them with resources (financial or more emotional)
- Men are attracted to women who are younger + attractive (seen as a sign for fertility
- BUSS: 37 cultures explored = women valued financial prospects; men valued physical attractiveness and both valued intelligence and kindness
- PENTON-VOAK: female mate choice may vary during their menstrual cycle
Sex differences in Parental Investment
Maternal investment:
- significantly higher due to paternal certainty
- also because they have to carry the child for 9 months and provide more post-natal care
- Indiscriminate mating is limited bc the costs of pregnancy are very high SO when they do decide to 'mate', they are very picky since they want to chose the best genes (and much effort is put into it because women have less bodily resources than men)
- GEHER showed undergraduates parenting scenarios and found that men's heartbeats increased rapidly which suggested that they were nervous = led to the conclusion that women are more prepared for parenthood than men
- DALY suggested that there were some benefits of cuckolding (e.g. extra resources) however, the costs (abandonement) significantly outweighed them
Paternal investment:
- considerably lower (possibly) because men are less concerned about wasting their gametes
- theory also suggests that men invest less because of the risk of CUCKOLDRY = they don't want to to look after someone's else child
- REID: men invest by providing financial resources, shelter, protection etc.
- ANDERSON: no discrimination between biological and step children
- ROWE: limiting to only consider evolutionary explanations
- insight from animals
Influence of childhood on adult relationships
- SHAVER identified three things that we learn in infancy (that are imp. for adult relationships): attachment (internal working model); caregiving (PCG) and sexuality (also based on attachment type)
- Childhood abuse can have very negative effects on an adult for e.g. it can lower self-esteem, ability to trust others, cause anxiety etc which can impact the formation of relationships in adulthood
- FRALEY: found positive correlation of .11 between attachment type and adult relationships
- SIMPSON: carried out a longitudinal study and found that the nature of an adult relationship can be related back to a person's early attachment type
- Theory is DETERMINISTIC because it assumes that our attachment type defines what our relationship is going to b like
- Simpson challenged this by finding that insecure attachment types were in happy relationships as adults
Influence of childhood on adult relationships: Int
Childhood friendships have an influence:
- QUALTER AND MUNN: interaction ability as a child helps determine their approach to adult relationships
- NANGLE: childhood friendships promote feelings of trust and understanding which are vital for adult relationships
Adolescent relationships also have an impact:
- Adolescent relationships helps direct interpersonal energy away from parents to allow them to experience emotional and physical intimacy
- MADSEN, however, found that too many adolescent relationships could be maladaptive
- SCHNEIDER et al suggested that there were differences in the nature of childhood relationships (girls were more emotionall open / boys were more competitive)
- HOWEVER, ERWIN claimed that there were definitely more similarities than differences
- HAYNIE found that adolescent relationships can increase deviance // corroborated by NEEMAN who found that it led to poor academic achievement
- ROISMAN challenged all as he/she found that relationships from age 20 had no effect on relationships aged 30
Relationships in other cultures (A01)
- Western cultures: more urban + higher mobility = more chances of interaction and choice of who to connect with
- Non-western cultures:less urban, less forms of mobility = limited chances of interaction so, there is less choice over who to connect with
- Western: individualistic culture = more concerned about personal goals /feelings than that of other individuals
- Non-western: collectivistic culture = group-based decisions are favoured over the individuals wishes
- LEVINE: 11 cultures compared using questionnaire = collectivist cultures willing to marry w/out love
- MOORE AND LEUNG: anglo v/s chinese australians surveyed = both valued love
- SEEPERSAD: Western YA more concerned about loneliness due to the influences of media (depiction of idealistic relationships)
Relationships in other cultures (A02/3)
- EPSTEIN: couples who had arranged marriages were just as happy as couples who married out of love - there were less divorce rats in the former
- MEYERS: no difference in marital satisfaction between indian and american couples
- XIAOHE: chinese couples were happier if they married out of love
Individual v/s group:
- relationships based on love = more compatible BUT those chosen as a group are more useful because it determines long-term compatibility (this doesn't mean the former isn't stable)
- increased urbanisation has led to changing attitudes within CITIES (e.g. divorce rates in Indian cities have rised)
Methodological issue:
- measure of 'love' or 'satisfaction' is different within cultures = cannot enforce idea of one onto another
- This has influenced the creation of INDIGENOUS PSYCHOLOGIES which designs methods + explanations specifically for a culture
- PINKER: love has evolved to promote survival + reproduction (romantic relations exist in over 166 cultures)
- Culture bias in representation of relationships: US Media presents a very idealistic relationship which warps people's sense of reality

Then on tonight's local news...they reported THIS:
Just when you're feeling good about remembering to bring back your reusable bags for groceries comes word from a study out West that bacteria levels can build up if bags aren't washed. The University of Arizona at Tucson and Loma Linda University in California did a joint food safety study randomly testing 84 reusable grocery bags carried by shoppers in the Los Angeles area, San Francisco, and Tucson. They found significant levels of harmful bacteria, and very low awareness of potential risk.
Geographic location appeared to affect the results, with contamination rates higher in L.A. than in the other two locations, with speculation that this is likely due to that region's weather being "more conducive to growth of bacteria in reusable bags." The author, Charles Gerba, Ph.D., professor of soil, water and environmental science, reported that 97% of those interviewed have never washed (or bleached) their reusable bags. Gerba points out that thorough washing kills nearly all bacteria that accumulate.
Wegmans reusable bags are labeled with directions to hand wash with cool water. Our merchant Debbie Hauck points out that the bags will float in a washing machine, since the polypropylene does not absorb water. They are sturdy and flexible enough to machine wash if you make sure they are submerged. The colorful woven ones are a bit stiffer and do not machine wash well, but are easily hand washed. Never put in the dryer…they will melt!
Other tips: Ask the cashier to separate raw foods from other food products. Don't leave meat or produce in hot cars because higher temperatures promote growth of bacteria. And, finally, don't use the same bags for groceries as for gym clothes!
Kind of makes me want to go back to the "Paper or Plastic" days...

Although humans have done much in the way of minimizing, from living in smaller homes to microchips, we still have within us the desire to make or achieve something ginormous.
If country A produces the world's largest building, chances are that country B already has blueprints in the works to outdo them--even if just by one more story. The same applies to the areas of art, jewelry, fountains, swimming pools, and even toys.
In all honesty, I couldn't care less about the tallest buildings or largest diamond. However, when it comes to large structures that produce massive amounts of solar power, turbines or anything having to do with bettering our planet via alternative energy, that gets me excited!

For anonymity I will be fussy on specifics. I was contacted by the section head of a research institute, asking if I would be interested to head another section. It's the type of position I planned to move to in the future. I know this is far from a done deal and there will be long interviews etc before this is more than a "nice email".
The position is about a 15-20 hour flight from my current location and in a place I'm not sure I would like to live for a longer period. My response was to say that I'm very interested but that I'm not note sure about undertaking such a long move, and I asked for some time to think about this. I was honest, but I wonder if this was a good response, was it? Note, I have spent 12 years abroad in five different countries and the person who contacted me knows this.
I have planned to reply with some some questions on the position, their timeline and if the hiring committee want me to send them some information. Stating; that I'm interested but that the best would be if they could invite me for an informal interview which would give me a chance to check out the place. How should I frame this last part? I'm afraid it could come off badly ie. -I don't like your city/country...
Any advice is appreciated. My current position is great but there is no room for growth, location is also great it's "home".

Library News »03/05/2013
Let's Talk About It, Idaho! Ron McFarland to lead discussion of "We Sagebrush Folks"
The final program in the Let's Talk About It, Idaho book discussion series will be held Wednesday, March 20 at 7pm in the University of Idaho Library. Ron McFarland, professor of English at the University of Idaho, will lead a discussion of "We Sagebrush Folks" by Annie Pike Greenwood. Greenwood's memoirchronicles her family's experiences living in an Idaho farming community from 1906-1928. The book is a candid account of her initial optimism and eventual disillusionment with the harsh realities of frontier life and their adverse effects on women.
The book talks call attention to Idaho history as an historical milestone begins, the state's territorial sesquicentennial year. The theme of this year's readings and discussions, "Idaho at 150 – Sesquicentennial Days," explores life in early Idaho and the challenges faced by people settling and developing the state. The University of Idaho Library is partnering with the Moscow Public Library to provide the talks, which bring adult readers together with humanities scholars to discuss fine literature.
The program will begin at 7pm and is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

A Wood-Burning Camp Stove That Doubles As A Gadget Charger• http://www.popsci.com, By Michael Myser
Campers pack a small handful of sticks into the bottom of the stove's dual-walled steel combustion chamber and light the fire. One batch of kindling can boil a liter of water in five minutes.FEED THE FIRE
A one-inch blower fan pushes fresh air into an angled vent near the bottom of the stove and circulates it counterclockwise through a half-inch gap between the combustion-chamber walls. The inner wall is perforated with 34 holes near the top and 11 more near the bottom. As air heats up, it expands and enters the combustion chamber to feed the fire.GATHER ENERGY
A custom thermoelectric generator (TEG) converts heat into voltage. On one side of the TEG, a 1.5-inch copper-and-aluminum heat probe extends into the fire. On the other side, the fan cools a set of heat-sink vanes. As electrons move between the hot and cold sides of the TEG, they are directed into a set of wires.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

We've all heard the stats: compared to incandescent bulbs Compact Fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) use about one-quarter of the energy to produce the same amount of light and save about $30 or more in electricity costs over the lifetime of the bulb. These spiral light bulbs have become quite cost competitive with incandescent bulbs over the past few years, and so many people have switched.
CFLs aren't without their drawbacks, however. As many have noted, they do contain a small amount of mercury, which makes them difficult to recycle and a health concern if they break. Now, a study from Stony Brook University has revealed that trace amounts of mercury might not be the only way CFLs put your health at risk.
The researchers were inspired by a recent European study [PDF] on individuals who claim exposure to CFLs aggravated their diseases, many of which were skin-related. To test whether or not the CFLs were actually capable of making people sick, scientists set up an experiment that exposed healthy human skin tissue (in vitro) light from CFL bulbs purchased in regular stores across New York State.
Results revealed significant levels of UVC and UVA, which appeared to originate from cracks in the phosphor coatings, present in all CFL bulbs studied.
"Our study revealed that the response of healthy skin cells to UV emitted from CFL bulbs is consistent with damage from ultraviolet radiation," said Miriam Rafailovich, professor of materials science and engineering at Stony Brook University. "Skin cell damage was further enhanced when low dosages of TiO2 nanoparticles (found in personal care products normally used for UV absorption) were introduced to the skin cells prior to exposure." Rafailovich added that incandescent light of the same intensity had no effect on healthy skin cells, with or without the presence of TiO2.
Researchers said that this information shouldn't stop people from using CFLs, but that they should be cautious about exposure. "Our research shows that it is best to avoid using them at close distances and that they are safest when placed behind an additional glass cover," said Rafailovich. The study did not compare CFLs to LEDs, which were recently dubbed the most environmentally-friendly lighting source.

For the first time in our history, we Americans have learned what it is like to be the targets of irrational, international hatred. We have learned what is it like to be attacked without provocation. Most of all, we now know how it feels to be accused of being an aggressor when we simply act in self-defense.
Of course, these are things that the Jews have known for millennia. And this puts America and the Jews in a strange but shared category.
When other world nations are subjected to brutal and unmotivated attack, they are usually granted the world's sympathies. Not so with the Jews. Not so with America. The reaction of the world to September 11th was a few moments of shocked silence and then an immediate onslaught of, "I told you so's" and "what do you expect when you throw your weight around with such arrogance?"
Most Americans are rightly outraged as to how our preemptive actions of self-defense are interpreted as unprovoked American aggression. But for the Jews this is just so ho-hum. Israel has, of course, observed this phenomenon for decades. When Israel takes action against terrorists that wreak havoc with suicide bombing after suicide bombing, they are condemned as merciless aggressors. Throughout Europe, Israel is reviled as a state that tramples on Palestinian rights. China has virtually ceased reporting on Palestinian suicide bombings, choosing instead to report only on Israel's response.
How do we explain such patent absurdity (after all, Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein are the manifestly evil ones, right?) unless we see it in the larger context of America experiencing something akin to anti-Semitism?
And the clincher of how America has now become the world's Jews was the recent comparison, by the German "Justice" minister Herta Daeubler-Gmelin, of President George W. Bush to Adolph Hitler. The irony of comparing the leader of the democracy that liberated Germany from Hitler to the dictator himself is matched only by the constant comparisons of Israel, the country that was built by the survivors of Hitler's genocide, to the Nazi beasts who tried to extinguish them.
Now, these contemporary comparisons between the United States and world Jewry can be treated as a mere coincidence. Or else we can make the most of the hand the world has dealt us. I propose that this series of factors suggest a political and practical application. Now that the Americans have become the Jews of the world, I propose to formalize the arrangement by making Israel the 51st state in the Union.
Forming an alliance--officially--between Israel and the U.S. would indeed produce a mutually beneficial situation. Right now Israel is caught between a rock and a terrifying cliff. Israeli civilians are blown up and murdered with weekly and sometimes daily regularity. They cannot ride a bus in peace. They cannot feel comfortable eating pizza. And yet they cannot do what would be necessary to actually eliminate terrorism because of external pressure. To be sure, Israel easily has the military and economic resources to destroy the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure and exile the uber terrorist Yasser Arafat. But international pressures, exercised by the world through the medium of the United States, paralyze Israel. So Israel is prevented from acting firmly and resolutely--as the United States did in Afghanistan.
But what if Israel were actually an American state? Any attack against Israeli civilians would be an attack against Americans. Then it would be absurd for President Bush to be pressured by other world leaders to curb the military response. Israel-turned-American commando units would finally go in and remove Arafat's terror regime once and for all, just as the United States changed regimes in Afghanistan.
The strategic benefits to the United States are also considerable. To those Americans who will surely say, "Why would we want to adopt Israel which is always under attack," I say: Wake up, America. You're under attack anyway and making Israel into the 51st state would decrease, rather than increase terror.
What America most desperately needs in the post-9/11 world is a permanent presence in the region of the world that spawns all the terror. The only way to guarantee American safety in the long term is to have a permanent presence in the Middle East that can be used as a launching pad to eradicate terrorism. Right now, American B-2 bombers need to fly all the way from the United States in bombing sorties against Afghanistan, and America is practically begging the Saudis to allow us to use our bases there in a war against Iraq. For permanent military instillations we've been reduced to aligning ourselves with Qatar, a country that purports to be an American ally while simultaneously operating the worldwide Al Jazeera television network, a major source of anti-American propaganda throughout the Arab world.

They're in, they're out, they're somewhere.
Don Mattingly posted the lineup he hopes will clinch the National League West on Wednesday, and once again players were coming and going.
Back after being out since Saturday with a bad back is outfielder Carl Crawford. Still in after his return Tuesday is Matt Kemp. Still in after experiencing a leg cramp Tuesday is Adrian Gonzalez.
But out of the lineup is shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who had also returned Tuesday from a sore back that had kept him out since Friday. Ramirez looked like the back may have seized up on him during an at-bat Tuesday, when he went one for two with three walks.
And still out indefinitely is Andre Ethier (foot), who has no announced timetable for a return.
So the Dodgers will try to defeat the Diamondbacks in Phoenix tonight with this lineup: Yasiel Puig RF, Crawford LF, Michael Young 3B, Gonzalez 1B, Kemp CF, Mark Ellis 2B, Nick Punto SS, Tim Federowicz C and Stephen Fife P.
A victory tonight, or tomorrow, against the Diamondbacks would give the Dodgers their first division title since 2009. They would become the first baseball team to clinch.

SHOULD I? STATUS: Official Red Flag
Currently in theaters
Don't Breathe? More like Don't Bother
Normally I like to watch movies at least twice before I review them, but in this case, you can bet your damn ass there's no way in hell I'm paying to see Don't Breathe again. And the first time was a matinee.
When I saw previews for Don't Breathe, I thought, "Oh cool! Some producer saw Hush and decided to make another movie in the same vein. OK, the main character's a dude, and instead of being deaf, he's blind, but what a great idea!" I really enjoyed Hush and was excited to see the "sensory handicapped but kickass defender" plotline extrapolated to the next – well, sense.
I was profoundly disappointed.
First, Don't Breathe attempts to humanize its main characters, who are the aggressors, with a pseudo-heart-wrenching backstory to justify their choice to live in crime. You know what? If you want to do that, in a movie set in Detroit, then let me honestly ask: why are they all white? Let's be real here. If you're an American, you know Detroit is shit. It's full of vacant houses and the local economy has basically collapsed due to the car industry tanking, and consequently pulling out of the city. It's also 83% black, which means that the people who are disenfranchised in Detroit are overwhelmingly people of color. Why is the only black person in Don't Breathe a guy buying coffee in the airport at the end of the film? Serious question here. Please, serious answers. I will give that one of the 4 actors in the movie actually is Costa Rican, but he's as white as any other.
Anyway, here's my point: the ends don't justify the means, and this attempt to make them do so rings especially hollow in a movie where the "downtrodden aggressors" clearly belong to privileged classes.
Another one of my huge issues with Don't Breathe is that it's hugely, overwhelmingly gratuitous. Hush does get pretty violent by the end, cringe-worthily violent, even, but as a whole, I'd say the movie justifies the violence which occurs. After all, at some point in scenarios like these (home invasions; predator and prey), there's no real way to avoid an eventual physical confrontation. However, Don't Breathe skips promising opportunities to build psychological terror and therefore, a story that will stick in the audiences' mind for more than sixty seconds after leaving the theater, and instead leaps to grotesque body shots. There's simply no mental challenge in this movie whatsoever. I might as well watch a snuff film for what I got out of Don't Breathe. I don't know where to find a snuff film, but that's because I don't want to.
In sum, I felt as if a producer sat at a table of generic Hollywood movie folx and said "Hey! I've got this idea! Home invasion movie, but gone wrong. And here's a twist! Blind guy." Then all the people around the table, from behind their sunglasses and bored yawns, said "You know what? Great idea. We love it! But…with what you've brought here today…that's only like, 30 minutes of a movie. How can we twist it to make it even better?" And they pounded their hands on the table and someone stood up and said, "I have an idea!" And they twisted it, gratuitously, for time. Then someone realized that even with that twist, the movie was still only an hour long, so they fuckin twisted it again. And it was finally long enough, and it was GTA-4 levels of gratuitous. None of these decisions served the movie in any way, whatsoever.
Do not go watch Don't Breathe. It isn't worth your money, and it's certainly not worth your time.
What does it say that I wasn't surprised at all to see Sam Raimi was one of the producers?
Excuse me now, I have to go watch MURDER PARTY again so I can review it, and get this bad taste out of my mouth.

"Addictions and compulsions will destroy your life"
The american people are people that like to over indulge in everything. This why addiction and compulsions run rampant in this world of ours. When we find something that we love to do, we alawys over do it, whether it's drugs, sex, cigarretes, food, or lying, our inner demon ; makes us crazy for our habits,and if we don't get what we desire, we'll have craving attacks.
I have had a few addictions of my own, one of them was cigarettes , I thought that there wasn't anything to calm my nerves better than smoking a cigarettes. We aren't aware that our minds are playing tricks on us, because we are thinking these addictions or complusions are good for us.
Smoking is a bad habit for anyone to have, I know that now;since I stopped smoking November 1990. Twenty years in November I will be smoke free. We don't realize that any habitual addiction or compulsion, have control over us; whether we"re under the power of sexual addiction, drugs, it's an addiction that we don't need
This an addiction that we need to get a handle on; because it will destroy our lives and leaves us broken and alone. With any addicton or compolsion you have to realize, that nothing is that good; if it's destrying your life or livelihood.
We have to except the fact that we have a problem, then have the guts and determination to get help; to get ourselves back on the right tracks of life. Mind you, this endeaver will not be an easy chore. If we can endure and over come these debilitating habits, we will be healthier and happier people. we all want to live happy and productve and unhampered lives, but it is impossible if we're obsessed with drugs, sex, alcohol, or any of the other addictions or compulsions.
It's time to free ourselves from all of these obstacles and start to live our lives again. Here are a few tips that might help us get started in the right direction.
1. Always pray about your problem and put God first in your life.
2.Take positive steps to get the help we need.
3.accept that we have a problem that's bigger than us.
4.Get medical and mental help, or whatever help we need to solve our mounmental problem.
So, now that you have the tips, we can get the help that we need, to be happy and finally be ourselves again.
Nice again!

Kean University paid out $375,000 to settle age discrimination suit.
In his suit, William DeGarcia, a 30-year employee of Kean University, claimed that he was not selected as Director of Kean's Educational Opportunity Center (EOC). DeGarcia claimed that even though he had served as the EOC's interim director during the period when the EOC received praise from both Governor Chris Christie and Senator Robert Menendez, the Director position was given to employee named Rosa Perez who was under forty and had no prior executive experience. DeGarcia said that his was only one example of pattern of age discrimination by Kean University.
Of the $375,000 DeGarcia received $260,367.41 and DeGarcia's lawyer received $114,632.59.
The case is captioned DeGarcia v. Kean University, Union County Superior Court Docket No. UNN-L-1303-14 and DeGarcia's attorneys were Andrew M. Moskowitz of Springfield. The complaint and settlement agreement are on-line here. (Note: The settlement may not be the final version. According to a January 3, 2017 letter from Kean's attorney, which is included at the link above, there was a dispute over the effect the settlement might have on Mr. DeGarcia's pension benefits. All other aspects of the agreement, however, appear to be agreed to by both parties.)
None of DeGarcia's allegations have been proven or disproven in court. The settlement agreement resolution expressly states that the $375,000 payment does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing by Kean or any of its officials. All that is known for sure is that Kean or its insurer, for whatever reason, decided that it would rather pay DeGarcia $375,000 than take the matter to trial. Perhaps the defendants' decision to settle was done to save further legal expense and the costs of trying what were in fact exaggerated or meritless claims. Or, perhaps the claims were true and the defendants wanted to avoid being embarrassed at trial. This is the problem when cases settle before trial--it is impossible to know the truth of what really happened.

Federal Judge Blasts Unprofessional Behavior of Justice Department Lawyers
Here we go again. Another federal judge has scalded the unprofessional conduct of Justice Department lawyers inside the Civil Rights Division. The first time it was perjury. After that, it was unethical conduct in a trial against New Orleans police officers. Now it's unprofessional behavior and bigotry toward the South in a federal court trial challenging Texas legislative districts.
United States Fifth Circuit Court Judge Jerry Smith has scalded a DOJ lawyer for misbehavior in the courtroom. While it wasn't perjury this time, it was behavior Justice Department lawyers aren't supposed to do. It's behavior Attorney General Jeff Sessions will notice and should address. From the case:
And then there is the United States, appearing through attorneys from the Department of Justice. I have no criticism of their knowledge of the law, and their zeal is, to say the least, more than adequate. But they entered these proceedings with arrogance and condescension. One of the Department's lawyers even exhibited her contempt for Texas and its representatives and her disdain for these proceedings by regularly rolling her eyes at State witnesses' answers that she did not like, and she amused herself by chewing gum while court was in session.
It was obvious, from the start, that the DoJ attorneys viewed state officials and the legislative majority and their staffs as a bunch of backwoods hayseed bigots who bemoan the abolition of the poll tax and pine for the days of literacy tests and lynchings. And the DoJ lawyers saw themselves as an expeditionary landing party arriving here, just in time, to rescue the state from oppression, obviously presuming that plaintiffs' counsel were not up to the task. The Department of Justice moreover views Texas redistricting litigation as the potential grand prize and lusts for the day when it can reimpose preclearance via Section 3(c).
This attitude is in keeping with what Hans von Spakovsky and I have reported here on the pages of PJ Media. An ideological hiring campaign took place during the Obama years where Every Single One of the lawyers hired into the Civil Rights Division were committed leftists. When the DOJ inspector general recommended that hiring criteria be changed to eliminate this perceived bias, then-Assistant Attorney General Tom Perez rejected the recommendation. I also discuss this attitude of Justice Department lawyers in my book Injustice.
I'm told that these reports are popular reading inside the Civil Rights Division. Thanks to everyone there for helping make Injustice a New York Times bestseller. Again, Judge Smith:
The Department of Justice has overplayed its hand and, in the process, has lost credibility. The wound is self-inflicted. The grand theory on which its intervention was mainly based—that invidious racial motives infect and predominate in the drawing of the 2011 district lines—has crashed and burned.

Well, nobody can change the fact that Brett Favre has now officially signed with the hated Minnesota Vikings.
It bites. Really bites. And what can we do? Nothing. Not a single thing.
But, please, though it is distasteful to us all, stop hating the man, Brett Favre!
Today the media and blogosphere is filled with people's raging rants about what a selfish, arrogant jerk Favre is, as if any of this has anything at all to do with a single author or writer. Sorry to break the news to the Favre haters, but it is not about them; at all.
It just is what it is.
Decisions were made. Some wrong ones, some hard ones. But none of us had to make any of them.
I am of the opinion that Ted Thompson is to blame for not letting Favre back on to the Packers in the spring of 2008 and ushered him into a pre-mature retirement.
But none of that, none of what I think or any other writer thinks, makes Brett Favre anything but a Minnesota Viking this year.
Packer fans will be cheering against our former hero this year, but he has given enough of himself to Green Bay fans over the many years over center to earn a little space to do what he thinks he has to do. And I think only the childish will hate him for it.
Furthermore, it will bring an added level of excitement and significance to the Packer-Viking games this year, will it not? There will be mixed emotions, heightened drama and memorable times.
Enjoy that for, well, what it is.

It is What it Is
Well, nobody can change the fact that Brett Favre has now officially signed with the hated Minnesota Vikings.

In the spring of 2008, Thompson and McCarthy offered to fly Favre up to Green Bay and announce his unretirement. Then he changed his mind.
In the summer of 2008, during training camp, Favre changed his mind again. He said he wanted to "stick it to Ted Thompson," then he told Peter King it's "not about revenge."
At the very least, we're dealing with an indecisive hypocrite.

Indecisive, yes.
But probably due to the fact that he needed to feel inwardly that he could play another season and it took longer because his body heals slower the older he gets.

In Michigan under the essential insurance act you cannot be denied insurance coverage solely because of the age of your house, its location or the type of neighborhood you live in. However you can be considered ineligible and denied coverage for these reasons:
- Taxes on your property are over 2 years past due.
- Within the past 5 years, you have been found guilty of a crime of arson, the use of explosives or destroying property.
- The property you want to insure is used for illegal or dangerous purposes.
- If your home has a physical condition which presents an extreme likelihood of a significant loss (such as a bad roof)
- Within the past 5 years you have been denied a claim based on fraud or arson.
- You don't want to buy the minimum coverage required for the type of policy that you want to buy.
Companies can also refuse to write new policies based on the physical condition of your property, adjacent hazards and property vacancies. Companies may not renew policies if during the past 3 years there is a liability claim in which the insured was negligent, 3 property claims of any type totaling over $4000 ($3000 if they are non weather related) or if the insured fails to correct a dangerous condition after being notified by the company.
If you are unable to get homeowners insurance through the regular market, you can ask a local Michigan agent to apply to the Michigan Basic Property Insurance Association (MBPIA). Michigan Basic was created to provide property insurance to qualified individuals who can't get insurance with another company. If you are qualified, you can get a standard HO-2 or HO-3 policy from Michigan Basic which is the same policy as a regular company.
To qualify with MBPIA
- You need to own or rent and live in a qualified property
- "Qualified Property" means residential property which meets building code standards, is not used for farm or business reasons and is not used for illegal activities.
In order to determine if your property is "qualified", MBPIA will have your property inspected (at no cost to you). If MBPIA decides that your property is not qualified, you are entitled to a written explanation of why the property does not qualify and what you need to do to make it eligible.
All MBPIA Policies are issued for 1 year, which can be renewed on a qualified property for the next two years without another inspection, which could be scheduled at MBPIA's discretion. If work is required MBPIA can issue a temporary binder for up to 60 days that will insure your property while you are waiting for an inspection or making the repairs to qualify your property.
Michigan Basic offers two types of homeowner's policies:
- Replacement Cost Policy- This policy will allow you to replace, repair or rebuild your damaged property to its original condition, with the same kind and quality materials. That means if you have plaster walls it will be replace with plaster walls. In order to purchase this type of policy you must insure your home for an amount of insurance equal to or greater than 80% of what it would cost to replace your property.
- Repair Cost Policy-This type of policy allows you to replace, repair or rebuild your damaged property to a condition similar to what it was before the damage, using modern materials. This means that if you have plaster walls the walls will be replaced with drywall. In order to buy this type of policy, you must buy an amount of insurance equal to the market value. In general this type of policy provides less coverage than a Replacement cost policy.
Most MBPIA policies have to be sold through a local Michigan agent if you have been denied coverage through a regular carrier then contact a local Michigan agent to see if you will be eligible for a MBPIA policy.

The FAA, citing navaid coverage limits, is seeking additional comments on the proposed amendment of V-537 between Macon, Ga., and Palm Beach, Fla., which now includes the possible elimination of the airway segment between Macon and Greenville, Fla. Members may submit comments by May 28.
After the comment period on the original airway amendment proposal ended in November 2012, a flight check determined that a radial from the Macon Vortac that was to be used to form an intersection on V-537 after the Moultrie VOR/DME is decommissioned had failed to meet "expanded service volume validation," the FAA said. As newly proposed, the airway would extend between Palm Beach and Greenville, Fla.
AOPA is reviewing the proposal, and is requesting members' input before submitting comments to the FAA.
Members may submit comments online or by mail to U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Operations, M–30, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12–140, Washington, DC 20590–0001.
Please cite FAA Docket No. FAA–2012–0971 and Airspace Docket No. 12–ASO–31 at the beginning of your comments. Please also share your comments with AOPA.

No one ever said I had to have my life planned out by the time I turned 20, I am 19 and don't plan on having a plan anytime soon. I never did have a plan to begin with actually, I did what ever "normal" high school graduate does, went away to school for a semester, and then I realized that I hated my school and everything about it, I was unhappy. I dropped out for a week during winter break, and I regretted it. I was unable to follow through; what was I going to do next? So the week passed and I enrolled in community college (also know as Hell on earth). I was miserable for the spring semester, normally I can make friends anywhere I go, and I take pride in that but not this time. I smiled at no one and talked to as little people as possible. And I was fine with that because for the first time I did not need to try anything or do anything but get my work done and go home, relax and read.
But I knew I needed to do something, I was missing something. I knew what I needed to do; travel. I signed up a volunteer organization that was 10 months long and allowed you to travel and do some good in the world. I signed up without thinking twice.
This program currently ends June 14th 2013- I am currently serving. This is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I have faced challenges that many people won't normally experience. That being said this is one of the most rewarding times of my life. I never imagined myself being in situations living with the same 8 people for 10 months of my life, eating, working, sleeping, breathing together for better or worse we became a family; a family of survivors. I have gained patience beyond my wildest dreams, I have matured in the workplace like I could have never imagined.
Now as my year is coming to a close, what do I do next? I will let the universe unfold as it may and figure it out as I go.
The twenties are meant to be confusing, I am meant to find different places to live and explore, different people to explore.
I think I am ready to face the world, I don't think the world is ready for me though.

The directors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Security Agency will break their public silence on Monday about their investigations into possible links between Russia and President Donald Trump's campaign at a rare open congressional intelligence committee hearing.
Representatives Devin Nunes, chairman of the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Adam Schiff, the panel's top Democrat, have called FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers to testify as part of their committee's probe into allegations that Russia meddled in U.S. elections.
Other congressional committees also are investigating the matter, mostly behind closed doors. But amid a furor over whether Moscow tried to influence the 2016 presidential race on Trump's behalf, lawmakers said they would make public as much of their probes as possible.
Russia denies attempting to influence the election, and on Monday Trump took to Twitter to once again call the allegations "fake news."
Donald Trump tweet
Donald Trump tweet 2
Donald Trump tweet 3
Comey and Rogers are not expected to reveal much in public about the probes, which include information that is classified Top Secret and also separated into different compartments, each of which requires a separate clearance.
But the hearing could become heated as Republicans balance support for their party's leaders and Democrats vent frustration over Republican congressional leaders' refusal to appoint a special prosecutor or select committee to investigate.
