- 139mm (8 inch axle) trucks are commonly used with 8 to 8.5 inch decks.
- Low height trucks (flip tricks/smaller wheels/smaller skaters) work great with a wheel size of 50-52mm.
- Mid (standard) height trucks (all-around street/park/ramps) work great with a wheel size of 52-56mm.
- High height trucks (cruising/bigger skaters) work well with a great size of 56mm+.

Human Nature and the Purpose of Existence
Written by: Jacob N. Kinnard
Karma marga
Jnana marga
Bhakti marga
|Path of action
(especially ritual action)
Path of knowledge
(meditation and analysis)
Path of devotion
(especially towards Krishna)
Hinduism articulates several different, overlapping paths, or margas for humans to follow. Although these paths may seem to be inconsistent, and even contradictory, fully developed Hinduism holds that they are in fact three different, and sometimes overlapping, means to fulfill the same religious goal.
In the earliest layer of Hinduism, the purpose of life is quite straightforward: humans are to perform the proper sacrifices to the gods. The Vedas emphasize that the life of the householder is the most exemplary model for humans. One should do one's societal duty (which later becomes worked out as the caste system), bear children (especially sons), and, essentially, live a proper life. This is known as the karma marga, the path of action, particularly ritual action.
| Emphasize one's duty
as householder
| Emphasize asceticism
(disregard material world)
The Upanishads significantly challenge this worldview. The sages responsible for these texts reject the Veda emphasis on the life of the householder and the primacy of sacrifice to the gods. They argue, instead, that there is a higher reality beyond the human realm, Brahman. Human beings can ultimately become one with this higher reality, but only if they change how they see and behave in the world. Specifically, the Upanishads hold that people must renounce the trappings of the world and embark on a life of asceticism.

The storied rivalry between Navy and Notre Dame is no longer a one-sided affair.
Notre Dame ran off an NCAA-record 43 straight wins in the series before Navy ended the run with a 46-44 victory in 2007.
The Midshipmen beat Notre Dame again on the road in 2009, and a victory in 2010 gave Navy's senior class three victories in the series - a feat only accomplished twice before, in 1937 and 1964.
Notre Dame rebounded from the 2010 loss to beat Navy 56-14 last year, and the Irish hope to build on that win Saturday when the rivalry resumes in Dublin, Ireland.
Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo is 2-2 against Notre Dame.

In my limited capacity working in the "venturepreneurial" community here in New York, I've come to realize that this industry is built firmly on relationships. Countless VCs have mentioned that warm intros are the price of entry to getting in the door (cold-calling/emailing has a guaranteed 0% chance of success). Chris Dixon has said that early-stage investing is "99% [the person] and 1% [market/idea]." Fred Wilson, who is one of the most prominent (if not the most prominent) person in the New York venture scene, has espoused managing your own personal brand, with emphasis on your online presence. I don't think that these ideas apply only to the world of venture capital—in fact, I think they apply to the vast majority of other industries where there is any element of human interaction.
So what is the take away? In business that is largely opaque, it's easy for a few bad apples to spoil the bunch. Stories of VCs screwing over entrepreneurs, citing "fiduciary" responsibility, bathe venture capital in a stereotypically bad light. That being said, when it's hard to see into an industry and people say one thing and do another, transparency, integrity and honesty go a long way. Great examples of this are the blogs owned by venture capitalists and entrepreneurs alike. Anything that brings greater clarity to the space makes venture capital less scary, and more about interpersonal relationships. When I meet an entrepreneur, the first thing I do is Google them. In the complex formula that ultimately makes a successful entrepreneur, I consider managing your online presence fundamental. If you can't manage your own online presence, who's to say that you can create a successful product when so much hinges on creating traction and leveraging its online reputation. On the flip side, if you have a thoughtful blog, your LinkedIn profile is up to date, etc. that's a good signal, at least for me.
The same advice goes for venture capitalists. When the landscape is mostly entrepreneurs seeking money from VCs (and rarely VCs seeking to get into an oversubscribed round), it's easy for VCs to exhibit characteristics that will often earn them a bad reputation. Being unresponsive or roundabout is often interpreted by entrepreneurs as negative, when that's not necessarily the case. As Jeff Bussgang mentioned in his book, time is on the side of VCs and against entrepreneurs—it grants VCs more information to make better decisions, but as raising money is a time-consuming process, it's best for entrepreneurs if it is as short as possible. But, as a venture capitalist, if you are timely in your responses and honest in your feedback, regardless of whether you invest or not, an entrepreneur will walk away feeling much better about you. A few months ago, Mark Suster wrote a blog posted called "Don't be a Grin-Fucker." I'd go further and advise not only that, but maybe just try being a stand-up person. Give respect to get respect.
In the past few months, I've had the amazing opportunity to speak with hundreds of people. Of course, every interaction is different, but the ones that stand out most in my mind are when there was no wall between me and the other party. It's hard enough as it is to have a candid conversation with someone. When you factor in the whole investor dynamic, it makes things ever worse. So when I have a conversation with an entrepreneur who respects me and respects him or herself, that goes a long way. I think that it should be the responsibility of venture capitalists and entrepreneurs alike, as the space becomes increasingly transparent, to take the "douche" out of "fiduciary."

When the state Department of Housing and Community Development's 380 employees pack up and move from Crownsville to New Carrollton in 2015, fewer women will work out on their lunch break at Curves.
It also may mean fewer people getting their cars repaired, having their dry cleaning done or picking up lunch at local businesses along Generals Highway.
"It's going to hurt our local economy," said Jodi Kubisiak, manager of Curves, less than a mile from the housing department's office.
The state's Board of Public Works voted May 29 to move the housing department from a state-owned building nestled amid trees in Crownsville to a new private development around the New Carrollton Metro Station.
The vote came over the objections of officials from Anne Arundel County, who didn't want to see so many jobs sent off to another county, leaving behind an empty office building.
"I wasn't happy about it. I didn't think it was in the best interest of taxpayers," said County Executive Laura Neuman, who discussed the move with state officials and sent a letter in opposition.
State Del. Ron George, R-Arnold, had been fighting the move since it was first proposed a few years ago. He thinks his digging into the details of the first contract to move the agency contributed to it being turned down. But the state came back with a second deal that was approved last month.
George, who is now running for governor, and other lawmakers tried to require a feasibility study before the move was approved.
"I think it's an abuse because it's real people," he said.
About 40 percent of the agency's workers live in Anne Arundel County, and they now face longer commutes.
The rationale for moving the agency is to spur economic growth around the New Carrollton Metro Station, where developers Forest City Enterprises and Urban Atlantic have been chosen to build up to 4 million square feet of office, retail and living space with as many as 5,000 residential units. Overall, the 39-acre project could cost as much as $1 billion to finish.
The Department of Housing and Community Development will lease a new 113,000-square-foot headquarters in "New Carrollton East," which also will include 500 residential units and 65,000 square feet of retail space, according to the state.
The department will become the first state agency to be headquartered in Prince George's County, fulfilling a promise made by Gov. Martin O'Malley to move a state agency there.
Kubisiak said workers from the housing department pop into Curves for a workout on their lunch break or after work. In the eight years Curves has been open in the Crownsville Station building, it has had a steady stream of members from the housing department, she said.
Government workers often are stuck behind their desks all day, so "they look forward to coming here and stretching and getting fresh air," Kubisiak said.
When the agency's employees move to New Carrollton, it will mean about 20 fewer customers at Harbor Auto Center, said Megan Anderson, whose husband, Charles, is a co-owner.
With the housing department only about a mile away, they often pick up and drop off customers.
Few of the customers from the housing department live locally, she said.
"It would be upsetting to lose them," Anderson.
For Andy Peter, this will be the second blow for Crownsville Automotive, a repair shop and gas station across Generals Highway from Harbor Auto Center. He owned the business in 2004, when the state shut down the Crownsville Hospital Center, adjacent to the housing department building.

|Celebrate Your Fave Femme Techie
|| Print |
Today is Ada Lovelace Day, so I'm celebrating by blogging about a few of the ladies I admire in technology.
Who the heck is Ada Lovelace and why should we be celebrating her? This fine filly born in 1815 (sprung from the loins of Lord Byron and Annabella, no less) cooked up the first computer program for Charles Babbage's analytical engine, which, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, is 'generally considered the first computer.'
You can peep a trial run of one of these steampunk-tastic things here.
In honor of our techie foremother, I hereby honor the following brilliant women (and, more importantly, friends) in the tech field!
I met Libe at my first 'real' job outta college at a video game website, and we've been friends ever since. She is now the Editor-in-Chief of AOL's GameDaily and my go-to grrl for expert video game skills. And Guitar Hero parties. Same thing. She's tireless, creative, funny, and unstoppable.
The awesome thing is that I know so many more great women techies that I can't really list them all here. I hope you do too. Give 'em a shout out in the comments!

Go 3D with Puzzle Blocks
Perhaps the only thing not to like about puzzles is all those pieces (lose just one and it's a huge bummer). Consider block puzzles instead which have far fewer pieces, make great decor on a shelf and, best of all, are six puzzles (or more) in one.
Above are ten of the best looking ones we could find for different age groups including an open-ended set (by Miller Goodman) to let a child really get creative. And, of course, you could make your own if you are the artsy-crafty type.
A few resources for making your own:
• Wood cube blanks in varying sizes at Casey's Wood
• Seedling's design-your-own 9 block puzzle kit ($40)
• Turn Beat Up Books Into Beautiful Blocks
• Make Mega Blocks With A Designer Twist
• DIY Painted Block Puzzle

Sex, drugs and real estate?
Redfin real-estate agents share their funny, lurid and embarrassing home-tour stories via social media.
Homeowners may wonder what they'd learn "if these walls could talk," but real-estate agents have some amazing stories of their own. Just ask the Redfin agents who say they've encountered "gangsters," naked homeowners and even a couple "basking in post-coital euphoria." All true stories, according to Redfin.
Bringing some levity to the otherwise somber real-estate business these days, the Seattle-based online real-estate service recently launched a Twitter account for its agents to share stories of their experiences touring houses for sale. The tales posted under the handle REConfidential range from amusing to amazing to absurd.
Twitter's microblogging format challenges users to tell stories in 140 characters or less, which is apparently the right length for a to-the-point real-estate agent.
REConfidential's profile states: "What happens on a home tour does not always stay on a home tour . . . Every story shared here is true and straight from the source, our very own Redfin agents." Redfin operates in 17 U.S. markets.
Among the agents' stories:
- "Pretty sure there was a drug deal going on in the backyard while we were inside touring the home."
- "Entered a vacant house, followed a trail of shoes & clothes up the stairs to find 2 realtors 'discussing a deal' -- just without clothes on!"
- "Client picked up a bat (the animal kind) thinking it was a leaf."
- "Unlocked the door to a 'vacant' house to have someone run down the stairs and out the door past my client and me."
- "Porn playing in the bedroom with the TV on mute."
- "Took my clients up to the attic & found a weed growing operation. Apparently it comes with the property because the seller already moved out."
- "Seller took some time to introduce us to the friendly 'house ghost.' Then started convo with ghost."
In addition to a number of stories about walking in on people in the bathroom, the agents have reported finding some interesting collections in homes, including a purple room filled with Prince memorabilia (including a velvet painting of the singer), a David Hasselhoff shrine (with "toys, paintings, autographs & lifeguard floating devices") and a half-empty bottle of whiskey hidden next to the water heater in an otherwise vacant home. Post continues below.
Although its reach is relatively small, with just 567 followers so far, REConfidential has a Klout score of 46 (out of 100), and is influential about guns, moms and video. ("Something we never even dreamed of," Redfin tweeted in response.)
Klout "measures people's influence on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and finds the most influential people on particular topics … how often they post messages, how often the messages are reposted or retweeted, and how much impact they have online," Forbes says. Scores range from 1 to 100, with the average falling at about 20 -- so REConfidential's is well above average.
The posts follow the company's philosophy that there is "no such thing as too much information," Seattle Weekly reported.
More on MSN Money:
Nothing there that a match wouldn't fix.
Or the house with the dead body of the elderly owner in the bedroom, 3 days after death, and discovered by the agents on tour?
Or the time a realtor associate tried to show a house in the dark of evening after having a few drinks with dinner, hit the carport post, causing the carport to fall over into the patio roof and taking whole mess down. In fairness, it was a junk house and looked better to me after that was cleared away.
Or the female agent who loaned her husband her official lockbox key to have a quick look at the 'vacant' house down the street, which wasn't so vacant, and he was treated as an intruder, held at gunpoint by the owners, and arrested by a throng of police with handcuffs, tear gas, and weapons drawn.
My wife and I were looking at this home ,and I noticed some sort of shrine at the end of the hall complete with a church type of kneeler. I was informed by the owner that her husband's ashes were on top of the shrine! I said "hello "when I walked by the ashes!
We decided not to purchase the home!
I've read in these post where" someone' says that real estate agents are responsible for the housing mess we are currently expriencing. Why do people comment about things they have no clue about? Home prices are set by the what a buyer is willing to pay. Realtor's are in the business to bring a willing buyer to a willing seller. Why overprice a home only to have it sit on the market? Truth be told it's the sellers that most times insist on the sky high listing price... sellers are greedy and buyers want the bargin of a lifetime. So who"s right?
This mess we are in is because of the lending practices of the mid 2000s the cheap money offered to people that had no business buying a home. Prices reflect supply and demand. Period. When, like now, there is a gult of homes on the market and no lenders willing to lend...the prices go down. In 05 when homes would sale literally overnight...again demand out stripped the supply so the prices go up. It's not rocket science. To blame a realtor of price gouging is ignorant.
Like in all profession we have the good and bad. Ethics can't be taught, we either have ethics or we don't. An agent may get 6% but this 6% gets split in half with the buyer's agent and split again with their broker. Realtors have expenses.. there is E&O insurance, Realtor fees , MLS fees, Web site, Lock boxes and electronic keys, advertizing, etc. it all adds up..
Selling and buying can be tricky and emotional. A realtor insulates the two parties. If you as a homeowner have the negotiating and legal skills. and the time to close a deal, then more power to you. It's not as easy as a hand shake and an exchange of funds. Disclose the wrong square footage or fail to tell the truth about that leak hidden in the walls you'll find yourself in court. Are you willing to deal with potential buyers that feel free to call out every flaw in your well loved home and cut your financial throat.....and break you heart and ruin your plans when they can't qualify for a loan.
Shame on the agent that doesn't supervise their clients while showing a home. Sellers please, if you know there will be strangers in your home...don't leave your valuable out in plain sight. Pack up and store the things you don't want stolen or exposed. Like your guns or your porn. Common sense. Realtors are not responsible for another's dishonestly. Let's be fair, you don't work for free do you?

Immigration Policy Update for April 19, 2012
April 19, 2012 - Posted by Maurice Belanger
Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Arizona SB 1070
Next Wednesday, April 25, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the federal government's lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's SB 1070. Four key provisions of the Arizona law will be the focus of the Court's review. The most controversial provision is known as the "papers please" provision, which requires state and local police to determine the immigration status of persons stopped, arrested, or detained, if the officer has "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally. Other provisions being reviewed by the Court are: the provision that makes it a state offense for immigrants not to be carrying their federal "alien registration document;" the provision making it a crime in the state to work without authorization; and the section that allows an officer to arrest someone without a warrant if the officer believes that the person has committed a crime that makes him or her removable from the U.S.
A decision in the case is expected by June 25.
The Forum has collected a list of links to useful materials about the Arizona law, the legal issues relating to the Supreme Court case, the economic damage Arizona has suffered since passage of the law and implications of a decision one way or the other. You can find all of that information on this page of our Web site, or by clicking on the Arizona v. United States graphic on our home page, http://www.immigrationforum.org.
Rally and Virtual Vigil
There will be a lot of activity surrounding the Supreme Court arguments. On the day of the argument, April 25 at 10:30 AM, civil rights, religious, labor and community leaders are organizing a rally at the steps of the Supreme Court. For those who cannot join a rally in person in Washington, please consider joining a virtual vigil, the Vigil for Justice and the American Dream, an on-line forum that will allow you to stand in solidarity with those who believe in equal treatment and equal opportunity for all. Join with thousands across the country in lighting candles for justice at VigilforJustice.org.
Senate to Hold Hearing on SB 1070
The day before the Supreme Court argument, the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees, and Border Security will hold a hearing, "Examining the Constitutionality and Prudence of State and Local Governments Enforcing Immigration Law." Subcommittee Chair Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) had invited Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to testify, but she declined. Instead, Russell Pearce will be one of the witnesses. He is the principle author of SB 1070 and was subsequently booted out of office in a recall election. Also testifying will be former U.S. Senator from Arizona Dennis DeConcini, co-author of the Moakley-DeConcini Act of the late 1980s (ultimately incorporated into the 1990 Immigration Act), which provided protection from deportation for Salvadorans fleeing civil war. Arizona state senator Steve Gallardo, and Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform Executive Director Todd Landfried are also on the witness list.
Citizenship Campaign Launched
Anti-immigrant laws such as Arizona's SB 1070 and Alabama's HB 56 have been good motivators for some of the 8.1 million immigrants who are eligible for naturalization to begin taking the steps to become U.S. citizens and have their voice heard in our democracy. A group of advocates and service providers have launched a new campaign to help immigrants obtain information about U.S. citizenship and to begin the application process.
Under the auspices of Reform Immigration FOR America, the campaign, Mas Respeto, Become a Citizen! will make use of a text messaging service created by CitizenshipWorks, where eligible immigrants can text "citizenship" or "ciudadania" to 877877 for the location of nearby citizenship assistance providers. There are also Web sites (www.mycitizenshipmyvote.org and www.masrespeto.org) where immigrants can go to find out more information about the citizenship process and where they will find links to resources such as CitizenshipWorks.
The National Immigration Forum held a press conference about this campaign on April 10. You can read the resulting press release here or find the recording of the press conference on this page of our Web site.
Child Tax Credit Again Under Attack
On April 18, the House Ways and Means Committee voted on a package of proposals intended to begin the process of cutting spending to comply with a Republican budget that passed the House at the end of March. That budget attempts to avert cuts to Defense scheduled to go into effect according to the budget agreement reached last summer. At the same time, it proposes to cut $5.3 trillion from the President's budget over 10 years. According to the New York Times, much of the burden will fall on nutrition, health care and welfare programs.
The Ways and Means Committee met on April 18 to begin drafting a measure to cut $53 billion over 10 years. Included in the package is a proposal to limit the child tax credit only to tax filers using Social Security Numbers (SSNs). (Those filing with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, issued by the IRS to taxpayers without SSNs, would not be able to claim the benefit.) That proposal was approved by the Committee by a vote of 22 to 12.
This issue surfaced in January, when Republicans in the House at first insisted that cutting the child tax credit for tax filers without SSNs should help pay for extension of the Social Security tax reduction. The Senate opposed the measure, and eventually the House dropped its insistence on the measure.
The Senate is not expected to agree to the kinds of cuts the House will be proposing as it completes its budget and appropriations work.
For more information, see this fact sheet, created during the January debate on this subject by First Focus, an organization that advocates for children and families.
Racial Profiling Subject of Senate Hearing
On April 17, the Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Human Rights held a hearing on "Ending Racial Profiling in America." It was the first time the Senate has held a hearing on racial profiling since June 2001, before the terrorist attacks of later that year.
In his opening statement, Subcommittee Chair Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) said that he was sending a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging him to close loopholes in the Justice Department's racial profiling guidance. The guidance, issued in 2003, does not apply to profiling based on religion and national origin, nor does it apply to national security and border security investigations. (You can find the letter from Senator Durbin et al. attached to this press release from the Senator's office.) Another step Congress could take towards ending racial profiling, Senator Durbin suggested, is to pass the End Racial Profiling Act, S. 1670, introduced by Maryland Senator Ben Cardin (D).
Witness included a panel of Members of Congress and a panel that included the Chief of Police of East Palo Alto, California, a law professor, and representatives of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Equal Opportunity and the Fraternal Order of Police. You can obtain a video recording of the hearing, and witness testimony on this page of the Judiciary Committee's Web site, and you can find a statement from the National Immigration Forum here.
National Guard on the Border
On April 17, the House Homeland Security Committee Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security held a hearing, "Boots on the Ground or Eyes in the Sky: How Best to Utilize the National Guard to Achieve Operational Control."
In December of last year, the Obama Administration announced that it would begin to withdraw the 1200 National Guard troops who had been stationed on the Southwest border along with a record number of Border Patrol agents. The Administration is maintaining 300 National Guard troops, who provide a variety of support services to the Border Patrol, until the end of this calendar year.
The hearing provided an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of the Guard's deployment and the current strategy of providing aerial surveillance. Witnesses included representatives of the Defense Department, the Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection's Office of Air and Marine, the Texas National Guard and the Government Accountability Office. You can obtain all the witness testimony on this page of the Homeland Security Committee's Web site.

International Patient Services staff members work hard to make your experience at CHOP as easy as possible. In addition to the services they provide our international patients, we've put together these resources to help you prepare for your journey, understand what will happen when you arrive at the Hospital and support your family when you return home.
From your first contact with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, International Patient Services (IPS) is committed to making your experience as smooth and welcoming as possible.
The first step is for a family member or physician to contact IPS, where multi-lingual team members are available to speak with you and answer your questions.
We will need as much medical information as possible about your child's condition so our treating physicians can make the best possible decisions about treatment options. We ask that families complete a Patient Intake Form in English and provide the child's medical records including specialists' reports, history and physical, and lab, radiology scans, pathology slides, and most importantly, a summary letter from your child's physician that discusses the details of all diagnoses, treatments your child has received, and testing that has been conducted. All medical information must be in English. Our team members are pleased to help you locate translation services for these reports, if needed.
Once the child's information has been submitted, our expert physicians will carefully review it and determine if the patient can benefit from consultation and treatment at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. If so, we will provide the family and referring physician with an initial assessment of the child's condition and information regarding possible treatments available at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. It is important to remember that CHOP physicians will not formulate a final treatment plan until they have a full history of the patient and family and have also examined the patient in Philadelphia.
We want families to have as much information as possible when making decisions about their child's care. Our experienced staff can help families understand what charges are anticipated for our services, and work with them to facilitate payment in advance of consultation, whether through international insurance or self-payment. We will discuss financial arrangements based on the patient's insurance or the family's preferred method of payment. Our team has extensive experience working with many insurance providers and helping families through this process.

International Patient Services is a program within the International Medicine department at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

VATICAN CITY — In front of rapt crowds, Pope Benedict XVI spoke of moments of joy and struggle Wednesday during his final public address from a stage set up in St. Peter's Square.
Dressed all in white and looking serene, the pope used his last general audience to call for a renewal of faith and speak of his own spiritual journey through eight years as leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics.
As he finished, cheers erupted from the tens of thousands gathered in the square -- acknowledged by Benedict with an open-armed embrace.
As well as calling for a renewal of faith, he used his last general audience to discuss his experience as pontiff and his almost unprecedented decision to abdicate the role starting Thursday.
He thanked the cardinals, the clergy in Rome, Vatican officials and priests worldwide, as well as their congregations, saying "the heart of a pope extends to the whole world."
He had taken the step of resignation well aware of its seriousness and novelty, but also "with a deep peace of mind," he said.
"In recent months, I felt that my strength had decreased, and I asked God earnestly in prayer to enlighten me with his light to make me take the right decision not for my sake, but for the good of the Church," he said.
Benedict gave an insight into the life of the pontiff, describing it as without any kind of privacy, with his time devoted entirely to the Church -- perhaps particularly difficult for a man known for his love of scholarship.
His life in retirement will be "simply a return to the private place. My decision is to forgo the exercise of active ministry, not revoke it. In order to return to private life, not to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences and so on," he said.
Vatican officials said 50,000 tickets had been handed out for Benedict's last general audience -- but authorities said they had prepared for as many as 200,000 people to show up to witness the historic moment in person.
He spoke first in Italian, also gave greetings in French, German and English, among other languages, reflecting the Church's global reach.
Benedict, who stunned the world's Catholics when he announced his resignation just over two weeks ago, will leave office at 8 p.m. local time Thursday.

NEW ORLEANS, LA - Four student-athletes from the Iona College women's track and field program were named to the 2012 USTFCCCA Division I All-Academic team. In addition, the team recognized as one of 171 institutions on the USTFCCA All-Academic Team list.
Graduate Heidi Gregson, graduate student Hollie Rowland, rising senior Marion Joly-Testault and rising sophomore Regina Neumeyer were recognized for both their academic and athletic performances during the 2011-12 indoor and outdoor track seasons.
A total of 676 student-athletes representing 171 institutions compose the group. To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Track and Field Team, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 and have met either of the following athletic standards: for the indoor season, a student-athlete must have finished the regular season ranked in the national top 96 in an individual event or ranked in the national top 48 (collective listing) in a relay event on the official NCAA POP list provided by TFRRS.org; for the outdoor season, a student-athlete must have participated in any round of the NCAA Division I Championships (including preliminary rounds).
The Iona quartet was the lone Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's representatives on the list.
As a team, the Gaels were one of 171 institutions to earn the distinction as a result of a cumulative team GPA of 3.00 or better. Iona's 3.46 GPA ranked 10th among the teams honored.

How to create a new UI design using UI Designer in Carbide.c++
How To Create a New UI Design?
You add objects to your existing UI designs visible in the UI Design Editor view using one of the following methods:
• Select the component, then click in the design itself to place it in the design • Click and drag the component to the design
The component is added to the UI design (layout or non-layout regions as appropriate) and also appears in the Layout view.
Below figure tell us how we can add menu to the non layout area of the project. Once the menu bar, menu item and menu item has been added to the non layout of the designer editor it can be used by programmer by Drag and Drop phenomena.

Sexual act in which a woman's vagina is motorboated, yes, motorboated and the resulting mixture of air and pussy juice is then queefed immediately and violently back into her partner's mouth; preferably among lesbians. Not to be confused with a mudslide.

McCormick beats expectations, affirms outlook
The spice maker delivers better-than-expected earnings, driven by cost savings and acquisitions.
By Zacks Equity Research
McCormick & Co. Inc. (MKC) delivered better-than-expected first quarter 2012 earnings of 55 cents per share, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. The results were also ahead of the company's guidance of 51 to 54 cents per share.
The earnings were driven by robust sales and cost management under the company's Comprehensive Continuous Improvement (CCI) program. Product innovation and investments in brand marketing also boosted growth in the quarter.
However, earnings lagged behind the same quarter last year by 2 cents.
Sales and margin details
Total revenue in the quarter grew 16% year-over-year to $906.7 million. Revenue also exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $868.0 million. The completed acquisition of Kamis S.A. of Poland and a joint venture with India-based Kohinoor Foods in fiscal 2011 contributed to the 7% sales growth in the quarter. McCormick's volume and product mix also added 4% to the sales growth, while price increases made in response to high input costs added 5% to overall revenue growth.
Gross profits increased 8% to $355.3 million, while gross margins contracted 270 basis points to 39.2% in the reported quarter, owing to material cost inflation.
Operating income increased 2% in the first quarter of 2012 to $112.5 million, driven by the favorable impact of higher sales and cost savings under the CCI program. However, the results were negatively impacted by a sharp rise in material costs, increases in brand marketing expenses and currency headwinds.
Segment details
Consumer Business: Segment revenue surged 18% year-over-year to $534.2 million in the reported quarter, owing to price increases, favorable volume and product mix and benefit from acquisitions. The foreign currency exchange rates did not have material impact on the segment in this quarter.
Despite increase in revenues, operating income for the segment decreased to $81.4 million in the quarter compared with $86.9 million from the prior-year quarter, due to high material costs. Operating margin declined 390 basis points to 15.2% in the quarter.
Industrial Business: Segment revenue climbed 13% year-over-year to $372.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, attributable to increased prices, favorable volume and product mix.
Operating income for the segment climbed 31% to $31.1 million, mainly from increased sales growth and CCI cost savings. Operating margin increased 110 basis points to 8.3% in the quarter.
Capital structure
The global leader in flavor, McCormick generated cash flows from operations of $23 million in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the negative $23 million in the year-ago period. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to a $21 million increase in pension contributions and better inventory management in the quarter.
For fiscal 2012, McCormick forecasts a difficult global economy and volatility in material costs. However, the company expects to grow sales, generate cost savings, invest in brand marketing support and deliver solid profit growth.
McCormick reiterates its sales guidance growth of 9% to 11%, which includes an expected 4% tailwind from acquisitions completed in 2011 as well as benefits from pricing actions. The company however expects foreign currency exchange rates to lower sales growth by 2%.
For fiscal year 2012, management re-affirmed its earnings guidance in a range of $3.01 to $3.06 per share, and expects cost savings of at least $45 million under the CCI program to offset the rising cost prices.
Our recommendation
We are impressed by the company's results in the first quarter. Even though it has completed multiple acquisitions and expanded its product portfolio in 2011, we remain concerned with the inherent risks involved. Additionally, we expect a tough environment ahead with rising cost pressures.
McCormick which competes with ConAgra Foods, Inc. (CAG) and Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) currently holds a Zacks No. 3 Rank (a short-term "hold" rating). Over the long term, we provide a "neutral" recommendation on the stock.

All the latest Apple news, featuring developments on the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, OS X and much more.
Merging old and new, Fujifilm's Instax Share SP-1 is a fun, portable wireless instant photo printer worth picking up if you don't mind the costs.
The Fujifilm X-T1 is a great camera for advanced photographers as long as its quirks don't bother you.
While Fujifilm hasn't changed much about the inside of the X20, its successor does gain some nice features.
The Fujifilm XF1 is one of the nicest-looking point-and-shoots available and it performs well, too. But its photos and features might not please some enthusiasts.
It's not a general-purpose recommendable camera thanks to subpar video and slightly sluggish performance, but for photo-quality-first photographers who want the analog-ish shooting experience, the Fujifilm X-E1 rules in its price range.
The only weather-resistant 50x megazoom camera around, the Fujifilm FinePix S1 is a fast, flexible camera that comes up a little short in low-light photo quality.
Apple's new pro music app for Mac adds tight iPad integration for mixing, recording, and playing.
Pricing not available
It delivers great images and is still fun to shoot with, but the Fujifilm X-E2 isn't a no-brainer upgrade over the X-E1 and other cameras outfeature it.
The Fujifiilm X20 is a great choice for people looking for a well-designed photographer's camera, but the basic feature set and disappointing video might not be for everyone.
If you crave a compact megazoom that gives you a lot of control over your results, look no further than the Fujifilm FinePix F900EXR.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!

Abby Himes, volunteer with the National Wildlife Refuge, Yigo, Guam
Good-Bye, Gym
"My fitness routine used to be stuck on autopilot; I'd slog through twice-weekly elliptical workouts. Then two years ago I moved to Guam with my husband, who is a lieutenant in the navy. Everyone is so active here that I was inspired to be adventurous."
Finding Sole Mates
"I hooked up with a group of sporty friends and started running with them four times a week. They encouraged me to do my first 5K, and now I run one nearly every weekend. I even won a 48.3-mile relay with an all-female team!"
Banishing Boundaries
"After I pushed past my timid tendencies by snorkeling, zip-lining, and hiking, I realized that there's nothing stopping me from taking other risks. I'm more fit and confident now than I ever imagined I could be."
Push Yourself
Abby went from being stuck in a rut to an adventure lover. So can you, by challenging yourself to run a race or go skydiving. Here's how to start, says psychologist Ronald J. Frederick, PhD, author of Living Like You Mean It.
Get inspired. "Watch movies where someone takes risks and succeeds to find the inspiration to spur yourself into action," Frederick suggests. "Activities that were once daunting will start to seem achievable."
Find a support system. Enlist athletic pals -- say, by joining a running group -- for advice and encouragement, Frederick says. Another newbie can also hold you accountable, and you can urge each other on.
Manage nerves. "Recognize and accept that some anxiety is normal," Frederick says. "Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly will help you calm your nerves."

Cries of "We love peace," "We love Mohammed" and "We must stop the hate" echoed throughout downtown Calgary Saturday.
Outside city hall, almost 200 people gathered with signs and chanting in a peaceful protest over perceived injustices against their religion and freedoms.
The protest, like others, was partly in response to an online video mocking their prophet that has since gone viral and partly a cry for peace.
"This protest is not about a movie — this protest is about a story. This protest is about ending the story of hate and starting the story of love," speaker Mahdi Qas Qas said.
Abraham Ayache called hate a plague.
He said Muslims are targeted everywhere and urged governments of all levels to make a difference and write letters and make phone calls ensuring they do.
"We are here for our right to be heard in a peaceful way, so that society understands and becomes more familiar with Islam and understands our values and our morals and what is near and dear to us," Ayache said.
"We are here for our right to live freely in this society, and to practice our religion."

Black Mountain XC and Marathon - San Diego, California
Black Mountain XC and Marathon - San Diego, California
Racers and Chasers Winter Series
Racers and Chasers Winter Series
Written by: Jens Raz
Written by: Jens Raz
Winter, southern California�s shortest season is still blessed with good
weather and plenty of daylight. Talking full advantage of this, Robert Herber
set up a 4-event series that includes both cross country and Marathon events. Thanks to Robert�s great relationship with
local park rangers he has the ability and approval to use some of San Diego�s most
fun and unique trails. The sold out event went off without a hitch complete
with new timing chips that kept track of individual laps.
Racers and Chasers participants were
able to assist Robert in donating another $450, this time to East Lake High
School�s mountain bike team.
Race conditions this weekend were just about
perfect. The 7am start for the marathon came with a chilly start but higher
temperatures were to be expected for the afternoon. Notably absent in the
marathon (due to recent injury) but present to cheer was Guy Sutton (Cal Coast.)
Fighting for victory were Irish mountain goat Bryan Taylor (Zumwalts Cyclery)
and Sean Donovan (CytomaxKHS.) Sean the veteran pro racer and soil engineer
competing on a 650b hard tail got a great start. The pro�s got to start with
the expert racers on top of the 2 mile descent topping out a 40+mph.
Bryan Taylor had this to say: "I didn�t get a good start, was in 10th place or so going
down the first descents. I moved up on the first climb but could only get to 3rd,
Jens Raz and Sean Donovan had created a bit of a gap - tried to close down the
gap but my legs were not responding. I managed to catch Jens on the steep powerline
climb, (26%+) but by that time Sean had broken away. I settled in to an
uneventful few laps riding pretty much alone, trying to keep myself motivated
to keep on a pace that might allow 6 laps. However, I knew by the start of lap
4 that I was going to miss the 3 � hour cut-off by a few minutes, although at
least by then I had the whole cross country field ahead of me to provide some
company. Up ahead Donovan completed his 5th lap within the 3 �
hour cut-off and completed 6 laps taking 1st place.�
Sean Donovan 6 Laps 4:06:04.6
2. Bryan
Taylor 5 Laps 3:35:21.7
The veteran strong
man Sean Donovan is the first competitor to have completed 6 laps for the
marathon. That is close to 60 miles in just over 4hrs and 6 minutes with 8,000�
of climbing. Check out his average lap times on Racers and Chasers website to
see how he faired compared to the cross country racers.
The 3-lap cross country pro�s had some old and new faces.
Brent Prenzlow (Celo Paific) fresh off his cyclocross season was joined by a
stacked field including perineal favorite Dana Weber (Pro Bike Supply), Nate
Whitman (Herbalife 24), Hal Helbock (Cytomax/KHS) and boy wonder Zach Valdez
racing for the United States junior national mountain biking team.
The gauntlet was thrown by the
young gun Zach Valdez. He took an early lead halfway through the first lap and never
looked back. Increasing his lead to an incredible 3 minutes off 2ndplaced Dana and 4 minutes over 3rd place finisher Brent Prenzlow.
The junior�s efforts awarded his sweat with $300

ON TOPIC: Safety Fashion
"This 'pudding' is a safety hat for a young child learning to walk, designed to fasten horizontally around the head above the ears. The 'pudding' consists of a horseshoe-shaped roll of glazed pink cotton with four lightly padded triangular flaps attached at regular intervals, two of them fastening together over the head. Many small children in the 17th and 18th centuries wore this type of hat, which helped to protect them from head injuries if they fell."
Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell, (14 July 1868 – 12 July 1926) was an English writer, traveller, political officer, administrator, and archaeologist who explored, mapped, and became highly influential to British imperial policy-making due to her extensive travels in Greater Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor, and Arabia.
