Pretty darn good. Got a full 8 hours in last night and so far I've received 4 compliments on my wardrobe today. Really makes a guy's day, you know?


Well, you have to tell us what you wore to work now.

V neck sweater and tie combo  :D

Nice!  I've never attempted the V neck/tie combo.

Dear Colleague,
As you likely are aware, the U.S. Department of Education is again attempting to impose its “Gainful Employment” rule on our institutions. This rule could have a dramatic and substantial impact on students who attend our institutions, their ability to pursue meaningful careers, and potentially close down certain programs offered at our institutions. This is the Department of Education's second attempt to pass such a rule. Its first attempt was struck down in 2012 by a federal judge in Washington, D.C.
This regulation proposes to cut off federal student aid to students attending certain colleges, like ours, whose former students don't meet particular metrics as determined by the U.S. Department of Education, and measured by factors such as the amount of debt they incur and their default rate.
In response to the these proposed regulations, we are seeking to engage our faculty and staff to make the Department of Education and our elected officials in Washington, DC aware of what may be significant and negative unintended consequences of this regulation. 
I am writing you today to seek your assistance in this regard. As our Government Relations team works to communicate and address our concerns with the proposed GE regulation to lawmakers in Washington, we are asking for your support by writing a letter or an email to convey your concerns about the potential impact of this rule on our students and our institutions. Please note that no employee is under any obligation to take part in these activities.
To this end, we encourage you to visit www.SaveStudentChoice.org, where you can:
•   Learn about the real and potentially harmful impact of this proposed rule on our students and our schools.
•   Make your concerns about this rule known to US Department of Education Secretary Duncan, your Member of Congress, and your US Senator either through an email or a letter crafted in your own words.
•   Download materials you can share with friends and colleagues to educate them on the importance of speaking out for students in support of academic choice and against this rule.
The potential consequences of the proposed rule to our students could be substantial, making the next several weeks critical as we attempt to make the Department and Congress fully aware of our concerns.   
By way of background, the Department of Education’s proposed “Gainful Employment” regulation relies on arbitrary statistics, rather than the academic quality of an institution, to determine whether students studying in a particular program will remain eligible for federal financial aid. Likewise, the proposed rule could have a significant impact on those who staff and support academic programs offered at proprietary institutions, including ours. 
As always, I cannot thank each and every one of you enough for your efforts on behalf of our students. I thank you in advance for your assistance with this project and also and for taking the time to share with the Department of Education and the Congress your views on the true impact of its proposed Gainful Employment rule. 
It's going this bad. :runaway:

I stood up from my desk this morning and now I have a pulled muscle just to the left of my spine halfway down.  I don't know what muscle it is, only that it would be my tenderloin.

the worst, i run into this 3 or 4 times/year and it last for 2 or 3 days.  Dated a physical Therapist and she was convinced 1.) it had to do with spot where the rib connected to spine  :blah: (my explanation sucks) and 2.) i should go to a doctor and get it checked.  But the pain would go away and I would never do anything about it.
