Behavior Intervention
Praise when on task
Praise when on task
Why should I do it:
Students are apt to work for something they want
Some students need outward motivators
It helps keep students engaged
Provides encouragement
When should I do it:
When you want to increase a positive behavior
How do I do it:
Use the "Forced Choice Reinforcement Menu" to determine what sort of reward student best responds (Adult approval, peer approval, consumable rewards, competitive approval, independent rewards
Identify behavior to be increased.
Determine the amount of behavior to be seen during the day.
Track behavior daily.
Reward at the end of each day with previously identified reward
At any time when you witness the student taking part in the behavior to be increased, verbally praise them. Can be done either quietly or if the student is motivated by peer approval, can be done in front of the class.

Boost Your Little Girl's Ego!
It's not just the regal padded seat cushion and heart shaped back pillow that'll make her feel royal...It's that special message displayed for all to see on the very front of this rocker, right beneath a delicately carved crown: 'Always a Princess'! Gold tassles included, as well as a little "test" for all princesses- a tiny green "pea" hides under the seat cushion!
I ordered this rocking chair for my niece who is currently in the Princess phase of her life. She loves it, but is slightly too tall for it, obviously not the rocking chair's fault. It has been quite a challenge to find a rocking chair for a tall 5 yr old.

As I was spending a lot of time just staring at the lightning detector, I had time to ponder. I guess I have plenty of time to ponder - over two hours a day commuting for example but maybe my tiredness and glass of vodka red bull were helping me direct my ponderation. The question I was asking myself was, "how happy am I?".
For sure, I am enjoying my life right now. Saturday I went to a Spanish festival of queuing near Tower Bridge - I could quite happily spend hours just watching that bridge, without being surrounded by beautiful Spanish women. Yesterday I went to, erm, Essex.
Last weekend I had a Sunday afternoon boogie in Greenwich, the weekend before I went to watch us get relegated, I've been to Kew Gardens, I had my parents visiting - I am certainly filling up my weekends with lots of fun things.
The fun doesn't stop, next weekend I'm going to watch Raving Iran, have a political roast dinner, the weekend after is the general election on the Thursday, going to Bodean's (the BBQ place), going out somewhere undecided on the Sunday - there is the cricket at Lord's coming up in the not-too-distant future.
I am definitely taking advantage of the opportunities of living and WORKING in London. I love it. Why the Brexit didn't I move here earlier?
Yet I'm not as happy as I should be. I feel that my underlying levels of happiness are not quite what they should be - and the main reason is my weight. It is the one thing that can get me down very easily. It is good to feel good about how one looks - beautiful hair and short shorts are not enough.
Being unemployed, I lost weight. I went from 90kg to 85kg in a few months. The detox definitely helped. Since gaining employment, I have gained weight. Significantly. I am now 92kg. 7kg on in 7 weeks!!! Oh and if you voted Brexit and are stuck in the past, here is a weight unit converter.
I am pretty annoyed with myself. I know why it is - alcohol.
If I don't drink, I consume around 1,500 to 2,000 calories per day. If I do drink, even just 3 pints, then I consume between 3,500 to 6,500 calories per day. And the day after I consume more too as sausage rolls suddenly appeal more than salad.
Last week I drank on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday - only two days excessively, but still way, way too much.
Getting my weight down to a healthy level has to be my number one priority in life now. I have decided that if I don't get it back in the right direction over the next two months - ie approaching 85kg instead of 95kg, then I need to take drastic action.
Said drastic action will be giving up alcohol.
Totally giving up alcohol.
Well, until I get down to say 78kg.
As much as alcohol is present in many of the good times that I have - I do believe that it is at the centre of any problems too. Most definitely my weight. Being nearly 40 - if I don't sort out being overweight, I expect this will become a health problem. I simply have to do it.
I should be able to lose weight and still have the occasional beer. But at the moment, it isn't the occasional beer.
The other priority in my life is, of course, my job. I've settled in well, and feel like I am contributing now. I don't complete as many tasks as the others, and sometimes are overwhelmed by requirements - but mostly I work out what I need to do, and how.
I did, for the first time, manage to annoy my boss on Friday morning - not on purpose either. Innocuous but avoidable. And I've also made one or two silly mistakes - but nothing you wouldn't expect from a junior developer.
Likewise, I have also done some pretty good work, and I have some good ideas for improving the website into the future.
I do still have to pinch myself about what I have achieved. It was really quite stark last week, thinking that this time last year I was in an office in Bracknell, bored out of my skull, constantly moaning about the heat, being made to wear shitty shirts and trousers that I hated, getting abused by customers, rarely using my brain, and did I mention that I worked in Bracknell?
I did work with very nice people though.
Now I'm in a very cool office in London, doing a job I really enjoy, I can wear what I want - we even have fucking air conditioning! Free cakes, free beer (hmmm maybe that might not help) - working in the centre of the universe, surrounded by good bars, restaurants - a tiny little park to sit in when it is hot and sunny. Loads of beautiful women around...me being too fat to be beautiful in return. An art gallery around the corner, the Barbican within lunchtime walking distance...Shoreditch 5 minutes away (albeit Shoreditch is about as appealing as Leicester Square nowadays).
I do need to book a holiday at some point - I need to go on an adventure some place new. The Bernina Express looks like the trip for me. Trains and mountains - what more could one want in the summer? I also feel the need to meet one or two new people in London, to add something to my life. Apparently drunk James wanted a girlfriend on Saturday night as I apparently messaged various women on Plenty of Fish. Scary. Thankfully none replied.
I have also bought a new computer to upgrade my life which I am waiting to arrive - next will be a new mobile phone as this one is dying a death. And some more short shorts.
Life is pretty close to what I have been aiming for - I am definitely achieving my goals at the moment and living the life I dreamed of (well, apart from the bit about a Spanish wife and living in Ibiza).
If I can put as much effort into losing my belly as I did into getting this career change, then I will be even happier. But it might take quite the sacrifice. And that will have to wait until I am past the excitement of drinking beer in the sun.
I am actually pretty happy.

Lets start with the 3Dmark11 where we notice a 10% improvement in the overall score.
Warhammer 4000: Dawn of War is a CPU bound game where we can see the Intel CPUs take the top spot due to its better single thread performance. Notice that all of the AMD's CPUs perform relative close to each other regardless if it is the older Phenom II, FX series (Bulldozer or Vishera), or the Piledriver based APUs. Compare the FX-8350 to the FX-8150, we see a 5% improvement.
Alien vs Predator performs better with AMD CPU than Intel. This game in particular also performs better with higher CPU clockspeed and as a result, we see the FX-8350 takes the top spot with at 4.0GHz where it is able to deliver 7% gain over the Phenom II X4 980.
In Lost Planet 2, the FX-8350 shows 9% improvement over the FX-8150, putting it on the same level as the Phenom II X6 1100T. However, the Intel Core processors are about 13% faster over the FX-8350.
Just Cause 2 is also another CPU bound game where we can see that single thread performance of the Piledriver based CPU/APU are performing about the same at lower resolution. Up the resolution to 1080p and the FX-8350 starts to pull ahead.
With more GPU demanding game titles, the FX-8350 is able to keep up with the Intel's offering where we can see the FX-8350 narrowly edges out the Core i5 2500K.
Unigine Heaven 3.0 favors the FX-8350 where the CPU edges out the Core i7 3770K by 2%.
Ultimately, what we can conclude from our benchmarks is that in terms of gaming, the latest FX-8350 should be able to perform at least the same level as the older Phenom II based CPUs (light threads), an area where the FX-8150 sometimes fail to accomplish. Under heavy threaded games, the FX-8350 can delivers up to 10% improvements over the FX-8150. In addition, if the games are not particularly CPU bound, then the FX-8350 can certainly keep up with what Intel has to offer at the same price bracket but if it is CPU bound, then the Intel still offers better option with up to 30% improvements.
Power Consumption, Temperature
The idle temperature for the FX-8350 shows a slight improvement over the FX-8150. However, under load, it is tad hotter due to faster clockspeed.
For power consumption, we see the FX-8350 sheds off 20 watts of power or 17% idle. However, under load, we noticed that the system consumes 9 watts more than the FX-8150. The move to a lower idle system power consumption is a right step from AMD. While the FX-8350 is still not up to the same level as Intel's offering, it is significantly improved over the Bulldozer. We do hope that load power can be further reduced in the next iteration.
With FX-8350, we were able to overclock the CPU to 4.4GHz pretty easily with air cooler, which is similar result to what we had seen with the Bulldozer. We kind of expected to see the same result since both chips are based on the same fabrication nodes. However, we did notice that with the FX-8350, overclocking it appears to be slightly more challenging as the system often will hard-lock whenever the temperature reached 65ºC. Thus, if you wish to push the CPU to its limits, it would require some extreme cooling. We are currently testing the overclocking result with water-cooling and/or liquid nitrogen result as well, so stay tuned to see just how far you can push it.

Halloween is scary enough keep it safe by driving sober
U.S. Department of Transportation FastLane
From pumpkin carving, to costume parties, to trick-or-treating, Halloween is an exciting holiday for Americans of all ages not just our children. In fact, many of the ghosts and goblins you'll see this Halloween season are young adults heading out to bars, restaurants, and private homes to celebrate. Unfortunately, sometimes the most frightening part of Halloween isn't the spooky costumes and scary pranks. Halloween is a particularly deadly night due to the number of drunk drivers on our roads. If you're heading out to celebrate this year, make sure you plan a safe and sober way of getting home.
Bus driver hailed as hero in freak accident
The Hawk Eye
Pat Coen, superintendent of the WACO School District, calls Neil Reichenbach a hero. Reichenbach was the driver of a school bus that was struck by a piece of plywood on Oct. 24, near the rural town of Martinsburg, Iowa. It resulted in the bus windshield being shattered. The school bus was carrying more than 30 football players from WACO High School to their Class A playoff game against Lynnville-Sully. "Neil was the hero of the whole deal because while the windshield was caving in around him, he was able to go from highway speed and get off on the side of the road without wrecking," said Coen.
Parents use technology to monitor teen drivers
USA Today
When Rich Pilat's daughter, Jennifer, was 16 and just starting to drive on her own, he wanted to install a device in her car that would monitor her driving activity and allow him to track where she went — along with whether she had done any sudden braking or had been speeding.

Trooper rides on school bus to promote safety
Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Children climb off the school bus and wait until driver Mary Taylor gives them the thumbs up signal, telling them it's okay to cross the road. Taylor, other school bus drivers and the West Virginia State Police are asking other motorists to use just as much caution when students are getting on and off school buses. This past week was National School Bus Safety Week, so state troopers have been riding aboard school buses — and following them — to help catch drivers who ignore stop signs that the buses deploy when students are getting off or climbing aboard.
Addressing school bullying and dropout rates through gay-straight alliances
The Huffington Post
Over the next year the Hispanic Black Gay Coalition, through an initiative funded by the Hyams Foundation, will help at least three Boston schools foster safer environments for LGBQ/T students by helping to establish gay-straight alliances. At a time when reports indicate rising levels of bullying and harassment toward students, particularly LGBQ/T students of color, this initiative marks an important step toward creating schools that are more welcoming and inclusive.
Linda Bluth describes as Exemplary
The training courses created by The School Bus Safety Company are now being used by six of the eight largest contractors plus over 650 school districts. Linda Bluth describes them as exemplary! Surely you should find out why?

Students 'flip' for digital learning
The Huffington Post
Students today live in a wired world. Educators strive to assure high school and post-secondary success for each student. It's a good idea to recognize where students live outside the classroom and provide learning experiences that are real, relevant and engaging during the school day and beyond. This means creating innovative learning environments built around a culture that empowers, curricula that engages, and technology that enables.
'Operation Safe Stop' aims to enforce school bus stop laws
Police are keeping a closer eye on school bus stops by patrolling the Pittsburgh, Pa., area in unmarked cars, looking for drivers who violate school bus stop laws. The new program, called "Operation Safe Stop," is intended to make sure drivers are abiding by school bus stop laws.
'Look Before You Book' this holiday season and every time you travel by bus
U.S. Department of Transportation FastLane
As the weather gets cooler and the leaves on the trees change color, many Americans start to think about booking their holiday travel. If you're planning on taking a motorcoach to visit friends and family this holiday season, or if you know someone who is, be sure to check out the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's SaferBus app for your iPhone or iPad or visit FMCSA's passenger carrier information site.
School bus drivers warn lack of maintenance puts students at risk
NBC Bay Area
The California Highway Patrol has acknowledged to the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit that the agency has never investigated school bus maintenance problems exposed by bus drivers working for Durham School Services. Two veteran bus drivers aired their concerns to the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit in May. They risked their careers and their paychecks to expose what they called a consistent pattern of buses breaking down and not getting repaired.
8 tips to stop your teen's texting and driving habit
Minnesota Public Radio
Distracted drivers killed more than 3,000 people in car crashes in 2010, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It's a particularly deadly problem for teens, as the family of 17-year-old Alex Brown knows tragically well. She died in a single-vehicle crash while texting and driving on her way to school in 2009. Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for American teens, and they're also among the most likely to talk and text behind the wheel.

Veteran's Day: The Dishonor of War Worship
Today is Veteran's Day, a day of war worship in an immoral and rotting empire fueled by more wars. There will be plenty of sanctimonious asses posturing and pontificating patriotism, politics and 'glory' on the usual right-wing vomitories like FOX. Hell, FOX even got into it all early this year with Sunday's travesty NFL pregame show where privileged phonies like Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and the other moron ex-jocks dressed up like toy soldiers to shill for the black ops assassin General Stan McChrystal's bloodlust in overrunning Afghanistan with more American troops, cannon fodder that will not be treated with the reverence of the green Army cadavers of Ft. Hood. I mean who would have given a tin shit if the hallowed Ft. Hood 13 had been blown to smithereens by a mortar round ten seconds after they stepped off the plane to Afghanistan? It suits the neverending war agenda to paint the poor saps as victims you see, and it fuels the fires of both intellectually and economically impoverished Americans to blame it all on the horrible Muslim man who according to the usual anonymous sources is affiliated with al CIAda and if the terrursts [sic] are already carrying out nefarious plots on our military bases well Sally Soccer Mom, just how long will it be before they are blowing up your children in our shopping malls? All rank horseshit, exploited by traitors and cowards to send others to die in the wars that they are too gutless to serve in. Today a military veteran I want all of the right wing war lovers to line up in a single file line and come and kiss my big fat ass….oh, and don't forget to salute me first you filthy chickenhawks.
Veteran's Day Storytime: From Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun
Of course a lot of guys were ashamed. Somebody said let's go out and fight for liberty and so they went and got killed without ever once thinking about liberty. And what kind of liberty were they fighting for anyway? How much liberty and whose idea of liberty? Were they fighting for the liberty of eating free ice cream cones all their lives or for the liberty of robbing anybody they pleased whenever they wanted to or what? You tell a man he can't rob and you take away some of his liberty. You've got to. What the hell does liberty mean anyhow? It's just a word like house or table or any other word. Only it's a special kind of word. A guy says house and he can point to a house to prove it. But a guy says come on let's fight for liberty and he can't show you liberty. He can't prove the thing he's talking about so how in the hell can he be telling you to fight for it?
No sir anybody who went out and got into the front line trenches to fight for liberty was a goddamn fool and the guy who got him there was a liar. Next time anybody came gabbling to him about liberty- what did he mean next time? There wasn't going to be any next time for him. But the hell with that. If there could be a next time and somebody said let's fight for liberty he would say mister my life is important. I'm not a fool and when I swap my life for liberty I've got to know in advance what liberty is and whose idea of liberty we're talking about and just how much of that liberty we're going to have. And what's more mister are you as much interested in liberty as you want me to be? And maybe too much liberty will be as bad as too little liberty and I think you're a goddamn fourflusher talking through your hat and I've already decided that I like the liberty I've got right here the liberty to walk and see and hear and talk and eat and sleep with my girt I think I like that liberty better than fighting for a lot of things we won't get and ending up without any liberty at all. Ending up dead and rotting before my life is even begun good or ending up like a side of beef. Thank you mister. You fight for liberty. Me I don't care for some.
Hell's fire guys had always been fighting for liberty. America fought a war for liberty in 1776. Lots of guys died. And in the end does America have any more liberty than Canada or Australia who didn't fight at all? Maybe so I'm not arguing I'm just asking. Can you look at a guy and say he's an American who fought for his liberty and anybody can see he's a very different guy from a Canadian who didn't? No by god you can't and that's that. So maybe a lot of guys with wives and kids died in 1776 when they didn't need to die at all. They're dead now anyway. Sure but that doesn't do any good. A guy can think of being dead a hundred years from now and he doesn't mind it. But to think of being dead tomorrow morning and to be dead forever to be nothing but dust and stink in the earth is that liberty?
They were always fighting for something the bastards and if anyone dared say the hell with fighting it's all the same each war is like the other and nobody gets any good out of it why they hollered coward. If they weren't fighting for liberty they were fighting for independence or democracy or freedom or decency or honor or their native land or something else that didn't mean anything. The war was to make the world safe for democracy for the little countries for everybody. If the war was over now then the world must be all safe for democracy. Was it? And what kind of democracy? And how much? And whose?
Then there was this freedom the little guys were always getting killed for. Was it freedom from another country? Freedom from work or disease or death? Freedom from your mother-in-law? Please mister give us a bill of sale on this freedom before we go out and get killed. Give us a bill of sale drawn up plainly so we know in advance what we're getting killed for and give us also a first mortgage on something as security so we can be sure after we've won your war that we've got the same kind of freedom we bargained for.
And take decency. Everybody said America was fighting a war for the triumph of decency. But whose idea of decency? And decency for who? Speak up and tell us what decency is. Tell us how much better a decent dead man feels that an indecent live one. Make a comparison there in facts like houses and tables. Make it in words we can understand. And don't talk about honor. The honor of a Chinese or an Englishman or an African negro or an American or a Mexican? Please all you guys who want to fight to preserve our honor let us know what the hell honor is. Is it American honor for the whole world we're fighting for? Maybe the world doesn't like it. Maybe the South Sea Islanders like their honor better.
For Christ sake give us things to fight for we can see and feel and pin down and understand. No more highfalutin words that mean nothing like native land. Motherland fatherland homeland native land. It's all the same. What the hell good to you is your native land after you're dead? Whose native land is it after you're dead? If you get killed fighting for your native land you've bought a pig in a poke. You've paid for something you'll never collect.
And when they couldn't hook the little guys into fighting for liberty or freedom or democracy or independence or decency or honor they tried the women. Look at the dirty Huns they would say look at them how they rape the beautiful French and Belgian girls. Somebody's got to stop all that raping. So come on little au' join the army and save the beautiful French and Belgian girls. So the little guy got bewildered and he signed up and in a little while a shell hit him and his life spattered out of him in red meat pulp and ho was dead. Dead for another word and all the fierce old bats of the D.A.R. get out and hurrah themselves hoarse over his grave because he died for womanhood.
Now it might be that a guy would risk getting killed if his women were being raped. But if he did why he was only striking a bargain. He was simply saying that according to the way he felt at the time the safety of his women was worth more than his own life. But there wasn't anything particularly noble or heroic about it. It was a straight deal his life for something he valued more. It was more or less like any other deal a man might make. But when you change your women to all the women in the world why you begin to defend women in the bulk. To do that you have to fight in the bulk. And by that time you're fighting for a word again.
When armies begin to move and flags wave and slogans pop up watch out little guy because it's somebody else's chestnuts in the fire not yours. It's words you're fighting for and you're not making an honest deal your life for something better. You're being noble and after you're killed the thing you traded your life for won't do you any good and chances are it won't do anybody else any good either.
Maybe that's a bad way to think. There are lots of idealists around who will say have we got so low that nothing is more precious than life? Surely there are ideals worth fighting for even dying for. If not then we are worse than the beasts of the field and have sunk into barbarity. Then you say that's all right let's be barbarous just so long as we don't have war. You keep your ideals just as long as they don't cost me my life. And they say but surely life isn't as important as principle. Then you say oh no? Maybe not yours but mine is. What the hell is principle? Name it and you can have it.
You can always hear the people who are willing to sacrifice somebody else's life. They're plenty loud and they talk all the time. You can find them in churches and schools and newspapers and legislatures and congress. That's their business. They sound wonderful. Death before dishonor. This ground sanctified by blood. These men who died so gloriously.
They shall not have died in vain. Our noble dead.
But what do the dead say?
Did anybody ever come back from the dead any single one of the millions who got killed did any one of them ever come back and say by god I'm glad I'm dead because death is always better than dishonor? Did they say I'm glad I died to make the world safe for democracy] Did they say I like death better than losing liberty? Did any of them ever say it's good to think I got my guts blown out for the honor of my country? Did any of them ever say look at me I'm dead but I died for decency and that's better than being alive? Did any of them ever say here I am and I've been rotting for two years in a foreign grave but it's wonderful to die for your native land? Did any of them say hurray I died for womanhood and I'm happy see how I sing even though my mouth choked with worms?
Nobody but the dead know whether all these things people talk a;bout are worth dying for or not. And the dead can't talk. So the words about noble deaths and sacred blood and honor and such are all put into dead lips by grave robbers and fakes who have no right to speak for the dead. If a man says death before dishonor he is either a fool or a liar because he doesn't know what death is. He isn't able to judge. He only knows about living. He doesn't know anything about dying. If he is a fool and believes in death before dishonor let him go ahead and die. But all the little guys who are too busy to fight should be left alone. And all the guys who say death before dishonor is pure bull the important thing is life before death they should be left alone too. Because the guys who say life isn't worth living without some principle so important you're willing to die for it they are all nuts. And the guys who say you'll see there'll come a time you can't escape you're going to have to fight and die because it'll mean your very life why they are also nuts. They are talking like fools. They are saying that two and two make nothing. They are saying that a man will have to die in order to protect his life. If you agree to fight you agree to die. Now if you die to protect your life you aren't alive anyhow so how is there any sense in a thing like that? A man doesn't say I will starve myself to death to keep from starving. He doesn't say I will spend all my money in order to save my money. He doesn't say I will burn my house down in order to keep it from burning. Why then should he be willing to die for the privilege of living There ought to be at least as much common sense about living and dying as there is about going to the grocery store and buying a loaf of bread.
And all the guys who died all the five million or seven million or ten million who went out and died to make the world safe for democracy to make the world safe for words without meaning how did they feel about it just before they died? How did they feel as they watched their blood pump out into the mud? How did they feel when the gas hit their lungs and began eating them all away? How did they feel as they lay crazed in hospitals and looked death straight in the face and saw him come and take them? I! the thing they were fighting for was important enough to die for then it was also important enough for them to be thinking about it in the last minutes of their lives. That stood to reason. Life is awfully important so if you've given it away you'd ought to think with all your mind in the last moments of your life about the thing you traded it for. So did all those kids die thinking of democracy and freedom and liberty and honor and the safety of the home and the stars and stripes forever?
You're goddamn right they didn't.
They died crying in their minds like little babies. They forgot the thing they were fighting for the things they were dying for. They thought about things a man can understand. They died yearning for the face of a friend. They died whimpering for the voice of a mother a father a wife a child They died with their hearts sick for one more look at the place where they were born please god just one more look. They died moaning and sighing for life. They knew what was important They knew that life was everything and they died with screams and sobs. They died with only one thought in the* minds and that was I want to live I want to live I want to live.
Militarist Masturbation
FOX NFL crew in Afghanistan.
Maybe Terry Bradshaw wasn't really so dumb that he couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the first two letters after all, as former Dallas Cowboy and lottery winner Thomas 'Hollywood' Henderson once said but like all chickenhawks he can't resist the allure of the uniform even if though he never have the guts to wear one in service to anything other than the Pittsburgh Steelers. Much to my horror I turned on the electronic crackpipe for my weekly fix of NFL football on Sunday only to see the pregame jockocracy for FOX in Afghanistan where our fine young men are being blown to bits while the CIA supports the illegal heroin trade. You have to hand it to that vile Aussie roo-fucker Rupert Murdoch, he is nothing short of the modern melding of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Goebbels and by fucking GOD can he furnish the pictures for the wars.
Hitler dabbled in crude forms of television back in his heyday, it never amounted to much given the lack of modern technology and the grim reality that the entire Red Army was about to descend on Berlin with all of the viciousness of the Dick Armey of Darkness leaving Der Fuhrer with other things to deal with but imagine what could have been had the Nazis actually managed to WIN the war. It would be exactly like FOX's flag sucking NFL pregame show today, a miracle of propaganda for millions of unemployed drooling, beer-addled slobs looking for meaningful work and wantin' to open a giant can of Murkan whup ass on them sand niggers after the terrurst [sic] raghead ran amok at Fort Hood and gunned down a bunch of our precious little green Army men. It's another strange contradiction in this land of stupidity and nationalism that were they blown up by the Taliban or whatever druglord's CIA backed army that they happened to stumble upon it wouldn't merit a mention, Americans don't want to know much about their cannon fodder unless their deaths can be used to justify more murderous war crimes and profiteering. Shit, stuff like this must even make an aesthetic like renegade General Stan McChrystal's dick get hard. It is the most overtly fascist thing that I have seen since General Petraeus goose-stepped out in full dress regalia to flip the coin at last year's Super Bowl.
It was the most despicably grotesque immersion in the barrel of shit that is war pornography propaganda since George W. Bush danced the two step like Danny Fucking Kaye with his plastic turkey in Baghdad on Thanksgiving. And it's only getting worse from the looks of it, as this disgustingly phony Barack Obama administration pimps 'CHANGE' while bestowing the power of the state upon insurance industry parasites to force the peasants into buying into the big scam, the coming escalation of the Afghanistan heroin protection racket is coming. Just look at this Newsweek revisionist history swill about how Vietnam could have been WON to float the idea out there again like a Bouncing Betty. It's almost like we are back in the 80's and John Rambo is going back to whup ass, followed by Chuck Norris and Dolph Lundgren. And you wonder why I am pissed off at chrome domed, privileged establishment lapdog Terry Bradshaw dressed up like fucking George S. Patton jacking off into the mouths of moron America during halftime, even whaleshit eventually settles on the bottom of the sea, for the war pornographers at Fuckin Fox they only set up a Halliburton rig and start drilling.
The one thing that I really didn't understand about the NFL's radioactive treatment of the Grand Poobah of white populist propaganda was how hypocritical it is of a sports league to bar Limbaugh from the fraternity of assholes while reducing itself to nothing more than a nationally televised regular recruiting venue for the ruinous illegal wars that have destroyed this country both morally and financially over the past eight or so years. The creeping militarism that has so debased us as a society should not be something that in any sane country would be viewed as some sort of holy virtue but it should rather serve as a pox upon us, a scarlet letter of shame on our foreheads scribbled by Satan's claw dipped in the blood of a freshly decapitated Palestinian or Iraqi child. Were we less sophisticated there would just be parades of missiles and tanks and planes and trains and automobiles and thousands and thousands of precious little green men, after all, that's the way that it is done in any dictatorship and by fucking GOD it is worshipped by all in the OPEN. Here in the star spangled land of misfit toys it is somehow treated as though it's dirty, has to be sanitized and delivered by smooth talkers like Jimmy Johnson, it's the moral equivalent of lurking in alleys to score blow jobs from foreclosed soccer moms turned crack ho's. Does FOX know any shame? Then again, would Jack Bauer crush the testicles of a child with a pair of pliers?
FOX, the slime dispenser that it is used Veteran's Day as an excuse for their worshipping of war but it was only a convenient excuse, one wonders if there will soon be a day when the NFL pregame studio is festooned with Birther, Deather and teabagger paraphernalia with good ole Terry Bradshaw and the others dressed up like Redcoats. I have to give CBS credit, they were just true to their corporatist ways by trotting out Jared Fogle for the thousandth something time, a manufactured celebrity selling shit sandwiches. On FOX there was Howie Long with that big shit-eating grin as he preened in his cammies thinking that he was back on the set of Broken Arrow again, all that was missing was George W. Bush strutting across the deck of the aircraft carrier in full Maverick regalia and Chris 'Pinky' Matthews drooling over his codpiece.
Today the propaganda mills are in full throated roar, the alleged Fort Hood 'shooter' is being tied to the Iman of the mosque of the alleged 9/11 'hijackers' (black ops patsies) that was allegely visited while they were being trained for that oh so glorious day in American history that must be remembered, seared into our little lemming consumerist consciousness and revered for it as nothing else has justified the transformation of a democracy into a corrupt police state as well as justified the wars without end. If there has been a bigger disappointment with the Obama administration than the ongoing wars, corporate sellouts and failure to hold the Bush regime criminals accountable then it has been the use of their phony War on Terror rhetoric to justify the continuation of this shit. These are dangerous times of mass insanity, when Goldman Sachs executives like the reptilian Lloyd Blankfein have the audacity to proclaim that his usurious tower of moneychangers is doing God's work while using their ownership of the government to stockpile flu virus vaccine while the poor, dumb, impoverished military worshipping. Jesus juicing schmucks go without and it's not universally denounced then we truly live in Never, Neverland.
Now from all indications of late, as the long belated Iranian attack is pushed forward by Israeli fifth columnists and the treasonous military brass that they are allied with and with the REAL unemployment rate around 20 percent with the jobs permanently gone, the corporate plunders having cut the flesh to the bone for the sake of the filthy dollar we shall have our holiday stockings filled with fear and the jolly fat bearded man who is the avatar of American capitalism, Santa Claus will be replaced with visions of another bearded man dancing along with sugarplum grenades in the sleeping heads of babes. Osama bin Laden is coming a callin' just in time for Christmas and the holiday stockings will be filled with fear, that you can count on and FOX's demonic elves are already working overtime in their little shop of horrors to fill his sleigh.
As Roy Baty once said, "quite an experience to live in fear isn't it?, That's what it is to be a slave."
Just my two cents over the morning cup o' joe

Rovers have completed the loan signing of highly-rated striker Sam Gallagher from Southampton.
The 20-year-old joins on a season-long deal from the Premier League side, becoming the club's seventh new arrival of the summer.
Originally with Plymouth's youth set-up, the Saints beat a host of top clubs to his signature when the Devon-born forward joined in April 2012 and just over a year later he was making his senior debut in the League Cup.
Gallagher, who has represented both England and Scotland at Under-19 level, made four appearances in the Premier League before scoring his first senior goal as Southampton knocked Yeovil out of the FA Cup in January 2014.
That led to his full debut for the Saints at the age of 18 when he started in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal the following week and he scored his first Premier League goal in a 4-2 win over Norwich that March.
Rovers fans will remember Gallagher for his sensational extra-time winner in the final of the U21 Premier League Cup the following season - the promising youngster lashing home an unstoppable 20-yard strike to secure the trophy for the Saints.
With 20 appearances under his belt for Southampton, the forward gained further first team experience last season whilst on loan at MK Dons, featuring 15 times for Karl Robinson's side.
This summer has seen the striker net for both Saints' senior and Under-23 teams in pre-season, before making the move up to Ewood Park.
Gallagher has been given permission to play for Rovers in the EFL Cup and the Checkatrade Trophy.

What adventure most changed your life?
In 1965, while in my late 30s, I went to live in Barcelona with my wife and two sons. I wanted to learn Spanish. And I wanted to discover if I could live outside the United States. At that time, Barcelona was a lot like Detroit – industrial, polluted, grimy, and it had a working class. That year I didn't make much money, but I had a lot of time to write – and hours and hours to be with my kids. It was one of the best things I ever did with my life.
What's the best advice you've ever received?
In Spain a poet named Tom McGrath read my work. He said, "Let me tell you about your writing life. You know a lot; you can do a lot. What you have to do now is nothing but write until you're 50." He said these are the years of maximum output and don't throw them away. Worry about money later. I took that very seriously.
How should a man handle success?
Accept the fact that one year you'll be the guy, and a few years later, people will say, "Who? Oh, yeah, I remember him. He's still alive?"
How should a man best face his fears?
Fears are often so irrational. The best thing to do is just to think of something else.
What essential tool should every man own?
Life is much more comfortable when you're wearing underwear.
What should every man know about women?
That they have what everybody wants. I was working with a guy in Detroit – I was married to my first wife at the time – and he said one thing you've got to do is try to be faithful to her. I said, Yeah, okay, but why? He said, "It's something I learned the hard way. Women can give away more with a teaspoon than men can with a snow shovel." He was saying, you think you can get away with stuff, but not compared to what a woman can do.
What's the best way to stay out of trouble?
Keep your mouth shut. One late night in 1980, on the New York City subway, I was coming home with my wife from a party uptown and was pretty drunk. These two guys came on – one was a big hulking guy, and the other was little. They sat across from us, and the little guy said, "Give us your watch and your purse, or I'm going to unleash this son of a bitch, and he'll kill you." My wife said, "What do we do?" I said, "Nothing." The guy started screaming, "Come on, you dog-brained faggots!" My wife turned to me and said, "They think I'm in drag." And we started howling with laughter. At the next stop, they got off. I don't recommend this.
What's the best cure for a hangover?
Don't drink.
What's the best cure for heartache?
When is it okay for a man to lie?
Well, certainly to his mother. Don't let your parents worry. Present them with a placid, healthy life, even if you're not living it.
What book should every man experience?
'The Great Gatsby.' I remember the first time I read it, I was up late finishing it, and the next day I woke up and said, I'm going to read this again and discover how he did it. It was just exquisite.
What should every man know about work?
It never ends. And for God's sake, try to get a job that you like. Because if you have a job that you like, it doesn't matter that it doesn't end.
How should a man handle getting old?
Badly. There isn't any other way. Break all the mirrors in the house.

- Starting with the right equipment makes brewing easier.
Good beer isn't cheap, and it never has been. But it used to be worse. Gary Lee remembers how hard it was to find boutique beer before the craft explosion of the 2000s. Typically, a drinker's best option was an import. He recalls Yorkshire, UK-based Samuel Smith Brewery Taddy Porter, going for $12 for a six-pack in the early 1990s — around $20, adjusting for inflation.
But the cheapest way to drink well was and remains homebrewing, and that's Lee's specialty. He has owned and operated Old West Homebrew, a downtown brewing and cheesemaking store, since 1991, supplying not only local homebrewers but some commercial accounts as well. I've been buying most of my supplies there for every beer, mead and cider I've made over the five years I've been brewing.
Let's do the math: Weber Street Liquor sells a 24-pack of Bud Light for $20. That breaks down to 6.9 cents per ounce. For a not-uncommon $10 six-pack of craft beer, it's 14 cents per ounce. But Lee sells boxed brewing kits that make a five gallon batch for as little as $35 — that's 5.5 cents an ounce, cheaper even than the fizzy yellow stuff, equipment costs aside.
Further, brewing allows for total creative control over the beer, from pulling sugars out of malted barley to infusing bitter alpha acids and aromatic terpenes from hops to controlling the fermentation temperature to get different flavors from the yeast.
"You can do whatever you want," says Lee. "You want to make a wheat beer that's IPA hoppy? It's all yours!"
Access to supplies and information has come a long way since the U.S. government re-legalized homebrewing in 1978. In the early '90s, homebrewing meant starting with a can of Munton & Fison (now just Muntons) pre-hopped malt extract with a packet of brewer's yeast under the cap.
"You could kinda get close," says Lee. "You'd get better than Bud-Miller-Coors' major stuff." But it's been in the last 10 years or so that the quality of available supplies and information has exploded. That said, Lee emphasizes the importance of keeping early recipes simple, sticking to malt extracts, hops, an ale yeast that isn't too fussy, and maybe some adjunct grains to add color, body, or head retention.
"Beer is a lot more complicated to make than wine," says Lee, who does sell winemaking equipment. He equates wine to making brownies out of a box: "Throw some things in, some yeast in, and mostly wait... There's no cooking."
Given that, one of the first pieces of equipment he recommends is a good reference book — while the myriad forums and reference articles online are helpful, they can also be less approachable. He recommends The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, by Charlie Papazian, as a starter. It was first published in 1984.
"It was the brewer's bible forever," he says.
For something more in-depth, he recommends the Brewing Elements book series, each of which focuses on one of the four key ingredients for beer: malted barley, yeast, hops and water. Homebrewers interested in specific styles can find recipes and historical information in the Classic Beer Styles Series from Brewers Publications.
Beyond reference material, Lee recommends a simple setup to start with: a pot for boiling the water and malt extract; a glass or food-grade plastic fermenter, with an airlock, for letting the yeast do its work; a hydrometer, to make sure the yeast has eaten all the sugar and figure out how strong the beer is; a bottling bucket, separate from the fermenter; bottles, caps and a capper for storing the beer; as well as sanitation equipment.
And sanitation is critical. Because unfermented beer is basically warm sugar water, a huge range of microorganisms love it. Thanks to alcohol-producing yeast, it isn't easy to make poisonous beer. But it's very easy to get unpleasant tastes from unwelcome microorganisms.
Another obstacle is overcomplicating a recipe. Not every beer needs to be fruit-infused, double dry-hopped or barrel-aged. A simple recipe can let a brewer get a handle on how the four basic ingredients affect the flavor of a beer — there's a huge flavor range there alone. Further, starting with a simpler recipe can help homebrewers isolate and fix flaws in their brew process, getting them closer to making the beer of their dreams.
If there's an actual risk in homebrewing, aside from wasted dollars, it's bottle bombs. Before bottling, the yeast should have fermented out — no fermentable sugars left in the beer. To give the yeast enough food to carbonate the beer, homebrewers add a little corn sugar to the bottle or the bottling bucket. If there's still unfermented sugars in the beer, the yeast can produce so much gas pressure that the glass of the bottle fails, causing an explosion. It's not unheard of for brewers to find bits of sticky glass all over their storage area and a divot in the ceiling from where the cap hit.
Lee's advice: Use a hydrometer to make sure the yeast's done eating before bottling, usually between two weeks and 30 days, barring temperature issues. If a brew seems to be at risk of blowing, chilling bottles can calm the yeast down enough that the beer can be dumped into a bottling bucket and re-bottled with most of the CO2 removed.
Longer term, he strongly advises investing in a kegging kit.
"I've found over the years that one of the things you end up losing more people over is that they get sick of bottling, sick of washing bottles and sanitizing them and going through that whole process," he says. "We've often joked that I'd be better off giving keg systems away to people to keep them as customers."

Homebrew recipe: Wasted Years ESB
In the interest of getting our readers into making their own beer that much sooner, here's a recipe I've found delicious and satisfying, nicknamed for my dad's favorite Iron Maiden song. It's an Extra Special Bitter (or strong bitter, if you're British), brewed with traditional British noble hops — I dig easy-to-find East Kent Goldings hops for their clean bitterness — and bearing a fruitiness from the yeast. I've only brewed it as an all-grain beer, but Old West Homebrewing owner Gary Lee helped convert it to a partial mash beer for ease of brewing. The liquid malt extract provides most of the fermentable sugars, while the crystal malt adds color and body, and the torrified wheat helps with head retention. This recipe makes five gallons of beer. Hop additions are timed for a 60-minute boil. Methods should be adjusted to your brewing setup.
8 lbs. light liquid malt extract
1.5 lbs. 60L crystal malt, for color and flavor
0.5 lbs. torrified wheat, for head retention
1 oz. East Kent Goldings hops, added at start of boil
0.5 oz. East Kent Goldings hops, added at 50 minutes into boil
0.5 oz. East Kent Goldings hops, added at end of boil
1 pack Wyeast 1968 (London ESB) ale yeast
Look for an original gravity of around 1.060. Ferment between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Look for a final gravity of around 1.012, for an ABV of around 6.3 percent.

Yesterday, the WHAM13 news alert popped up on my cell phone while my sons splashed in the kiddie pool in my mother's backyard.
That night, my two little boys would spend the night with my mother so I could clean our house for a real estate showing. I had just yelled at my four-year-old, Johnny, for splashing the water too hard, speckling my phone with droplets. He and his little brother, Sammy, had been playing a game they play often, whether in a pool or not–one lies down, hurt, and the other saves him.
The news alert: Toddler Dies After Drowning in Daycare Swimming Pool. I clicked the link.
Now, I cannot sleep.
The first thing I did after reading the text, was tell my father that the home-daycare was in Sweden Village–the small tract that my sister jokingly referred to as "Snob Hill" when I was a teenager, a name I hated–some of my best friends lived there. We knew the owners of the daycare in our community, their family a part of our lives in small ways. I thought my father might cry.
The second thing I did after reading the text, was call one of my best friends whose son attends daycare where this tragedy occurred, a brave move since I had no idea what to say or ask when she answered the phone. He had not been at the daycare yesterday.
The third thing I did was sob with her on the phone for the pain. We all want to understand the unthinkable so we might draw a circle around ourselves, some thin line to signify that we couldn't be the family tragedy had struck, but there was no line. I almost enrolled my two-year-old in that daycare. And we've all been in charge of another's child at some time.
The fourth thing I did was help my mother bail the water out of the plastic pool while Johnny and Sammy stood, wrapped in towels, giggling, eating Flavor Ice in the sun.
My mother had said, "Let me do it. You don't want to do this."
I said, "No, I want to. I have all this anxious energy. Let me use it for something." I took the small pink tub that Park Ridge Hospital had sent home with me after the birth of my first son almost five years ago, a tub they now use to rinse the grass of their feet before they get in the pool, and scooped the water up, then heaved it out. I tried with ferocity to grab more water than the tub could hold, to empty the alligator-printed pool in one movement, but every time the water splashed out of the tub, it still only looked like the small amount of water I could manage. When the water was low enough for my mother and I to dump out, we tipped the pool over and soaked the lawn. Nothing had changed.
The fifth thing I did was watch the news. The boys put on their dry clothes and rode their bikes in my mother's driveway. We park my mother's little red Honda at the end to keep the boys from entering street traffic: two cars per hour. Sometimes, John scoots his Lightning McQueen bike out past the red car, and I scream frantically at him: "Get on this side of the car!" He looks at me, bewildered, from beneath his helmet, as if he had the phrase, he might say, "Get a grip."
I did many things then, but I only remember uttering parts of phrases, still crying a little. Still wondering what things a mother does after entering this tragedy. How could I be sure it hadn't been me? How didn't I lose myself in her grief? I stopped my imagination, so many times, from going to that moment, the horrible moment that will replay in the poor family's life for years.
After I left John and Sam with my parents, I drove past the house that held the daycare, though I knew the only thing anyone in this tragedy needed right then was privacy. I wanted to hug them all, to ask where God was, but I said little prayers in my head, and though I know few, I made something up in my mind that sounded good enough, and what could ever be good enough for these families anymore?
At home, I cleaned with bleach and Lysol. I went on Facebook to look up photos of the child after they released his name, and sobbed to see the two-year-old's smooth chubby face, his blond hair, the private moments eating popcorn from a Spiderman tub in front of the flat screen with his four-year-old brother, who would wake every morning to remember that someone was missing. I cleaned more.
I called my parents to tell them what news I had learned. I considered going to my childhood home so I could pick up my sons and hug them, bring them home with me and tuck them tight in their beds.
My parents told me not to let my mind "go there." But when I told my father that the toddler had a four-year-old brother, he said, "Oh God."
My mother said, "Jesum."
When my husband got home from work, I told him everything I knew about everything in the world that day, which was mostly the tragedy. No one could give any answers to the questions I didn't know to ask.
At 3:30 a.m., I went in my sons' empty bedrooms on the way to the bathroom and, terrified, thanked God for them both.

A Statement by John Jay College President Karol Mason
January 19, 2018
Over the past few months, there has been much debate in the media and across our campus about who we are at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Is it a police college? Is it a social justice academy? Is it a liberal arts college? The answer is that John Jay is all of these things – and much more. New York Secretary of State Rossana Rosado said it best, that John Jay is essentially the United Nations for justice issues. We are and should be the place where all perspectives are represented and all views are presented.
John Jay grew out of the social turmoil of the 1960s, when crime was on the rise, cities were erupting in protests and law enforcement practices came under greater scrutiny. An idea emerged that police should be educated to better deal with the social and political issues of the time period.
We are living through a period of turmoil reminiscent of the sixties, and the principles that inspired the college's founding remain as relevant, and as vital, today as they were then in 1964. The advantage we have today is that John Jay has established itself as the safe place to wrestle with these difficult issues, difficult questions. Questions such as: What does justice look like? What does it mean to live in a just society, and what is my role in creating one? We are all fierce advocates for justice, whether we wear a police uniform or pursue careers in public service, social justice, the sciences, the arts or business. At John Jay, we recognize that injustice in any form confines liberty, limits opportunity and restricts one's ability to reach her or his full potential.
One of these charged issues is the centuries-old struggle to reconcile our republic's avowed respect for human rights and the eternal imperative of national security. That's why we are simultaneously celebrating the heroism of our first responders on September 11, 2001, with the "Bravery and Sacrifices NYPD Heroes" exhibition in Memorial Hall and recognizing the artistic expression of military detainees with the "Ode to the Sea: Art from Guantanamo Bay" exhibition. We can honor those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the freedoms this country represents, while also challenging ourselves as a country to define together and live up to the ideals of justice.
John Jay is and should be the place where we can vigorously discuss difficult issues, with respect for each other and our varying views and opinions. We have the opportunity to listen to someone who may share a different point of view, exchange ideas, refine long-held notions, and discover new pathways to mutual understanding. In the crucible of debate, our conception of justice takes form as solution. We grow, and we move closer to realizing the ideals on which our country was created. We are stronger as a nation, a more perfect union.

In an increasingly busy modern world, the amount of challenges and obstacles we navigate on a daily basis continue to grow. With so much to do in so little time, accidents are bound to occur and the injuries that result from accidents can be incredibly taxing. A personal injury can drain your wallet, your emotional wellbeing, and your physical health.
Thankfully, there is legal recourse available to victims of negligence. A personal injury attorney can investigate your accident and help you build a case to ensure you receive the compensation you need to recover.
Meaningful Results In A Wide Variety Of Personal Injury Cases
Megeredchian Law specializes in helping injured victims get back up on their feet. Our firm represents victims involved in a number of different types of personal injury accidents.
Car Accidents
Over 400,000 car accidents occur in California each year. In Glendale alone, there have been over 14,000 car accidents in the last five years. Car accidents occur for a number of reasons. Common accident causes include distracted driving, driving under the influence, and speeding. The car accident attorneys at Megeredchian Law can help you settle with the insurance company, get your medical bills paid, and obtain long-term care.
Motorcycle Accidents
The Golden State is a paradise for motorcycle riders. With miles of scenic routes and warm weather throughout the year, it's no wonder California has the largest volume of motorcycle riders in the nation. There are over 800,000 registered motorcycles in the state.
Of course, the roads are not always a paradise for bikers. Many drivers do not share the road respectfully with motorcycle riders. Our motorcycle accident lawyers can help you recover if you've been injured by a negligent driver.
Pedestrian Accidents
The beautiful thing about Glendale is that there's never a bad time to go for a walk. The unceasing warm weather and sunshine provides a great incentive to get out and travel by foot. Nevertheless, pedestrian safety can easily be compromised by aggravated or disrespectful drivers.
When a 4,000 pound steel vehicle collides with an unprotected walker or jogger, the resulting injuries are almost always severe. Contact the pedestrian accident attorneys at Megeredchian Law to explore your legal options.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Whether they know it or not, property owners have a legal obligation to ensure their premises are free of dangerous hazards and defects. If you've slipped and fallen as a result of an unsafe property hazard, you may be entitled to compensation. Our slip and fall lawyers can help you defend your rights and earn compensation for your injuries.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
Believe it or not, Uber & Lyft accidents differ from other types of car accident cases. The source of recovery differs depending on the circumstances surrounding the accident. Thus, it's important to obtain legal representation from an Uber or Lyft lawyer who understands rideshare liability and has experience successfully handling Uber or Lyft accident claims.
Dog Bites
Dogs are undoubtedly man's best friend, but not every dog encounter will be friendly. Victims of dog attacks may sustain serious injuries and often require extensive medical attention. A dog bite can transfer harmful diseases and bacteria, which can lead to life-altering injuries. A dog bite lawyer can help you recover from a traumatizing dog attack.
How Do I Prove Someone Was To Blame For My Injuries?
Earning compensation for injuries sustained in an accident revolves around successfully proving that another individual, company, or group of individuals were responsible for your injuries. Negligence can be proven by illustrating that the following elements are all true:
Every successful injury claim requires the existence of a legal duty. The person or business who is being blamed for the injury must have some type of duty that needed to be fulfilled. For instance, drivers owe a duty of care to other motorists on the road. Duty of care for drivers would include obeying traffic laws, avoiding driving after drinking, and refraining from texting while driving.
Breach of Duty
In addition to showing that there was a duty that needed to be filled, you must also show that the duty had been breached when the defendant failed to exercise a reasonable amount of care.
Cause in Fact
Once the breach of duty has been identified, the breach of duty must be proven to be the cause or a partial cause of the accident. Another component of cause is whether or not the defendant could have foreseen the outcome of his or her negligence. It's possible that if the accident was out of scope, they will be held to a lesser degree of responsibility for the negligence.
Finally, it must be proved that damages in the form of physical pain or suffering were caused as a result of the accident. Damages are ultimately what a personal injury victim will be compensated for.
What Kind of Damages Might I Be Entitled To Receive?
Medical Expenses
Reimbursements for medical expenses are the most common damages requests in personal injury claims. Medical expenses include hospitalization, prescriptions, medical equipment, and surgery. You may be entitled to receive compensation for past medical expenses, as well as, all future medical expenses related to the accident injury as well.
Property Damage
If your property was damaged in the accident you can recover compensation for property damages. Property damage is typically measured by comparing the market value of the asset before and after the accident. In some cases, restitution for property damage may not fully equate to the amount lost. The plaintiff will often receive fair market value for an asset and the fair market value may be less than what the plaintiff owes on the property.
Lost Wages
Your injuries can prevent you from being able to attend work. You may be entitled to compensation for the wages you lost as a result of missed work. You can generally also recover lost wages for any personal, sick, or vacation time you were forced to use while healing.
Loss of Earning Capacity
Your ability to work may be diminished or completely eradicated in a case where an injury is long-lasting or permanent. If you can no longer work or are limited in the amount of work you can do, your attorney can help you seek loss of earning capacity and future earnings. Compensation for loss of earning capacity will be largely dependent on a physician's diagnosis of your condition.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one dies in an accident, there are provisions under the law that allow surviving family members to pursue compensation. Wrongful death damages could include restitution for medical bills, burial expenses, lost wages, and more.
Loss of Consortium
Loss of consortium can be claimed when a loved one is injured or killed. Damages can be sought for a loss of love, comfort, affection, companionship, or sexual relations that the injured or deceased victim can no longer provide. Loss of consortium is typically reserved for death or severe and enduring injuries such as amputation, paralysis, or incontinence.
Punitive Damages
Some courts award punitive damages for certain types of injury claims. Unlike the other forms of damages, punitive damages aren't awarded for a loss or expense incurred as a result of an accident. Rather, punitive damages are awarded as punishment for the wrongdoer to deter others from similar conduct.
Where Do I Begin With A Personal Injury Case?
Accident victims often make the mistake of talking with their insurance or the other party's insurance adjuster as a first step. However, insurance companies will use unfair tactics to reduce or deny your claim and what you say to either party could harm your case.
It's important that you begin pursuing a personal injury claim by first contacting a personal injury attorney for legal advice. A personal injury attorney knows the personal injury claims process inside and out and can help you navigate around any legal pitfalls to obtain a fair settlement.
Megeredchian Law has helped recover millions for injured accident victims throughout Glendale and California. Alex Megeredchian can investigate your accident, arrange medical treatment, explain your legal rights, determine liability, and pursue a personal injury claim.

Prince: doctor in Musicology
Since April the 19th, Prince is back again on the stage and prepares his come back into the charts too. His new CD Musicology is considered as a good Prince CD so the stars seem to announce him some sparkling moments.
Long time no see?
According to some sources it is already almost 10 years ago that Prince produced an album. This may seem correct, but one should not forget the smaller albums he produced and who were distributed by his own label, the NPG, or with a smaller label company. He produced also some albums under the other names than Prince. Remember Symbol, Slave, TAFKAP (The Artist Formerly Known As Prince)
So to be correct, we can state that Prince still is as busy as ever. How about his albums, maybe they have passed without much noise, Rainbow Children and N.E.W.S., and his worldtour for the Rainbow Children, or his Projects with the new Power Generation and the recording studio Paisley Park? Should you have missed out on the two albums, they are really worth purchasing as they express the Prince creativity and propose some very subtil moments.
After having listened to Musicology I definitely recognise the various styles of the Purple Prince. In fact to be honest, that is what I find a bit frustrating, because it is Prince as we already know him. There is nothing really new in his style. Nothing shocking, nothing that pushes the limit. Since we are used with Prince and his new CD's, they come combined with something new. This can be seen as more confirming his styles.
The songs on Musicology are various and very nice. We recognise the qualities of Prince in the art of mixing the sounds, the styles of his voice and his instruments. Its is clear that we do notice the various songs go by, as there is a clear change in each song. From his funky style - Cinnamon Girl - we go to a jaz and blues style - Dear mr Man. We pass some good party melodies and the end of the CD with Reflexion we confirm that the texts are very well written. We recoginse in the lyrics that Prince has changed from his Purple Rain period.
- Cover CD Prince: Musicology
There is no way we can say that Musicology is not nice and it will probably reach a large audience. For the real fans of Prince it is however a pity that there is nothing new in this album. Even the jazzy style was already introduced in N.E.W.S or for the lucky few, in the CD "One Nite Alone .. The Aftershow: It Ain't Over".
Prince and Marketing
Prince is since quite some time very seriously busy with his New Power Generation. Together with his own studio Paisley Park this is his central headoffice for new ideas. As states his website, Prince is clearly not lacking ideas. Being very well aware of nowadays technology and internet he proposes a direct access and downloads as from this website. Even though Sony distributes Musicology, NPG has kept all rights for the distribution of the album by internet.
Being still compared with the major pop artists and seen as a non-contested genius, he also proves to manage nowadays IT solutions. For a real Prince fan, the access by his official website is the only way of staying informed of any new real funky and original input.
Prince seems to choose very seriously for his way of distribution. Working for this album with Sony has been a clear choice too, especially given the type of music it proposes. Musicology is for a large audience, Sony can bring this to him. Musicology has therefor been largely promoted and with the smaller labels ther is not enough budget to follow-up. On the contrary, the previously released Prince albums by the smaller labels, were not the same type of music and the promotion was more by word to mouth. We can thus notice a very clear strategy on a product differentiation.
Prince is generally not very keen on working with major Distributers. Remember his problems with Warner Bros. The problem in the contract with Warner Bros. was also the main reason for Prince to produce under different names. With Sony he seems to have managed to negotiate a one shot contract but rumours abound and are not that certain. We'll see, all depends on the benefits that Musicology will bring.
As to increase the sales of Musicology, The CD also proposes a booklet of 28 pages and a video [1] This proves another way to avoid too much downloading or copying, which seems to be the current evil of the music industry.
Are you looking for Prince?
One thing is for sure, Musicology is a genuine Prince album. See it as a flashback on the past success from Prince and you will be satisfied. Are you looking for someting brilliant from Prince, than you better stay tuned to his website and focus on his smaller productions. You might be dissapointed in finding something that already sounds familiar to you, though you may like it all the same. Whatever way, Prince will still suprise us with new ideas. Though he might have reached 45 years and lost some of his wild hairs he still has all his creativity. As sang Sinaed O'Conner, "Nothing Compares 2 U" so hopefully your reign may continue.
Read some more ...
[1] This is done in the French verion of the CD at least.

Brief overview of our history
AID FOR AIDS Dominican Republic is a local office of AID FOR AIDS International and has existed in the country since 1996.
When the organization first arrived on the island, the local office was situated in the Department of Humanities in the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD), where it served as the administrative headquarters.
The office was officially registered as an NGO in 2002 with the Access to Treatment Program.
Since then, we have implemented a number of programs focused on contributing to the eradication of the pandemic and improving the quality of life for the most vulnerable groups affected by the virus, through the development of skills and empowerment.
Programs in our AID FOR AIDS Dominican Republic
Access to treatment program
Facilitates ART to people with HIV or AIDS who otherwise would not have access to treatment, especially third generation medications not available in the country.
Thanks to this program, people with HIV or AIDS who are resistant to the treatment regimens provided by the Ministry of Health and Social Security are able to access other types of antiretroviral treatments that will save their lives.
Currently, our program provides treatment to 41 beneficiaries monthly, saving the government more than $800,000 in medicine annually.
"How Much Do You Know?" program
"How Much Do You Know?" is a primary prevention program focused on adolescents and young adults in developing countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, who are trained to become leaders and agents of change in their communities.
The program is based on a peer-to-peer education methodology: young adults are trained to afterwards transmit what they have learned to the their peers.
The program offers young people, health professionals, companies and organizations, people with HIV and their families, and the general public correct and current information about HIV and AIDS, and at the same time they incorporate information on life skills, sponsored by the World Health Organization, and promoting the eradication of stigma and discrimination towards people with HIV and AIDS.
All is achieved by incorporating Neurolinguistic Programming techniques, updating false beliefs and including the use of an inclusive language.
By incorporating these skills and knowledge in their daily lives, people are empowered to appropriate their health, achieving a better quality of life and appreciating the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Comprehensive attention program for children and adolescents with HIV or AIDS
This program was first implemented in the Dr. Robert Reid Cabral Children's Hospital since 2010.
Its main objective is to offer orientation and emotional, social, psychopedagogical support to boys, girls, and adolescents with HIV or AIDS and their family members.
The program provides 1) tools of empowerment for children and adolescents about their life and health from an early age, 2) the strengthening of adherence to medical treatment, and 3) the reinforcement of their academic activities as well.
Accomplishments (2002-2017)
- 854 people provided with comprehensive attention.
- 47 Dominicans received ART, diagnostic tests, viral load and CD4 tests in 2012 alone.
- 119 teachers trained to be facilitators and 1,320 young people trained as multiplying agents to reach approximately 29 thousand individuals through more than 58 schools.
- 40 leaders of the LGBT community trained and equipped with the necessary tools to prevent HIV and to multiply important information within their communities.
- 400 children reached in 2012 through the alliance with CONAVIHSIDA, as sub-recipients of the Global Fund.

Monroe College's Bronx campus is an ideal urban campus located in the bustling Fordham section.
Located in downtown New Rochelle, the Monroe College New Rochelle campus is nestled in a diverse, thriving suburban community in Westchester County.
Located on the Vide Boutielle Highway, Monroe College's St. Lucia campus offers a practical education designed to give students a competitive edge in the workplace.
Student Eligibility Requirements for Federal Financial Aid
The U.S. Department of Education may select a student for verification. Selected students will be required to document specific items reported on the student's FAFSA application.
Failure to submit documentation in a timely manner may result in the loss of federal aid.
FAFSA and TAP Filing Tips: Avoid application errors. Use this guide to help you answer the most difficult questions.
To make college more affordable, the federal government offers a
variety of need-based grants and loans for qualified students.
Monroe's Federal Financial Aid school code is 004799.
This need based award is determined by the federal needs analysis from information provided on the FAFSA. Awards are determined by federal Department of Education allocations. For the 2019-20 academic year, full-time student annual awards will range up to $6,195. Students can only receive Pell awards for 12 full-time semesters.
These need based awards are determined by the federal needs
analysis from information provided on the FAFSA. Priority pools based on a
FAFSA filing date have been established for the awarding of SEOG funds. SEOG
funds will be awarded to the neediest students (Pell recipients with the lowest
Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by the federal needs analysis
from the FAFSA. Award amounts may vary based on student enrollment status and
availability of funds.
These need based awards enable students to work in order to earn
funds to help pay for their cost of attendance expenses and are determined by the
federal needs analysis from information provided on the FAFSA. Employment
placement and the amount students can earn depend on the availability of funds
and job sites. Continued eligibility for FWS employment is also contingent upon
continued satisfactory academic progress, attendance, and job performance.
Students must begin the application process at the Office of Student Financial
Services to determine their eligibility. If eligible, they will be sent to the
Office of Career Advancement (OCA). Authorization and job placement is
contingent upon successful completion of OCA requirements and the availability
of a job assignment.
This federal loan program enables eligible applicants to obtain
student loans to meet their cost of attendance expenses. Students must be
matriculated and enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits.
Loan Terms are
determined by federal statute and may vary by the year student obtains their
initial loan.Before loan funds can be disbursed, students must complete an online loan counseling Entrance Interview and
a Master Promissory Note (MPN).
Enhanced Loan Counseling:
Monroe College has
been selected to participate in a Department of Education Experimental Site
initiative involving enhanced loan counseling. (Federal regulation 688.16(b)(1)
and (4). All undergraduate Direct Loan borrowers, who have
previously completed one-time entrance counseling will be identified. Of that
group those with a Social Security number that ends in an even number will be
part of the enhanced counseling group. These students will be required to
complete the enhanced counseling once each year in order to receive their
loans. Those with a Social Security number that ends in an odd number
will be part of the control group and will not be required to complete enhanced
loan counseling. Information about students in both groups will be
reported annually to the Department of Education
The federal government pays the interest on behalf of the
borrower while students are enrolled at least half -time in college and during
times of authorized deferment and forbearance. Repayment of the loan begins six
months after the student graduates or the student's enrollment status changes
to less than half-time. Loan Terms: For disbursements made from July 1, 2019
through June 30, 2020, the interest rate for undergraduate subsidized Direct
Loans is a fixed 4.236%.
Loan Terms are
determined by federal statute and may vary by the year student obtains their
initial loan.
Unlike the subsidized loan program, interest on unsubsidized
loans begins when the loan is disbursed and is paid by the borrower, not the
federal government. Students have the option of paying these interest charges
while attending school. If they choose not to pay the interest, it will accrue
and be capitalized. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the student
graduates or the student's enrollment status changes to less than half-time.
Loan terms are
determined by federal statute and may vary by the year student obtains their
initial loan.
These loans are available to parents of dependent students to
help meet their children's cost of attendance expenses. PLUS loan repayment
begins within 60 days of disbursement of funds. PLUS loan borrowers are subject
to a credit check. If approved, parents are required to complete a Master
Promissory Note (MPN). If a PLUS Loan denial is received, a student is eligible
for an additional $2,000-$2,500 per semester depending on grade level, in unsubsidized loan funds.
In accordance with federal regulations, first-time Direct loan
borrowers must complete entrance counseling sessions on the web at studentloans.gov.
During this counseling session students will learn about the terms of the loan
and their rights and responsibilities as loan borrowers. No loans can be
credited to a student's account until entrance counseling is complete.
All recipients of a Federal Direct Loan who withdraw, drop below
six (6) credits, or graduate must complete an Exit Counseling session on the
web at studentloans.gov.
During this counseling, students will be able to view their loan
history and learn about deferral and repayment options.
Repayment: The repayment of Direct Loans begins six (6)
months after a student graduates or drops below half-time matriculated status.
The amount of the monthly repayment is calculated based upon the total amount
that has been borrowed, as well as the repayment plan selected. Visit studentloans.gov and
click on the link "Repayment Plans and Calculators" to learn more.
Students in need of funds beyond those available from federal,
state, college and outside grants, scholarships, work study and federal loans
may seek non-federal loans. Students should carefully research these options as
interest rates, fees and loan terms vary widely among loan providers.
Students must obtain a form from the Student Financial Services
Office and the form to their lender upon approval of the alternative,
non-federal loan.
