A quick test in home economics: If you pull into your driveway at, say, a hundred miles per hour, and you happen to crash into a truck carrying two hundred gallons of jet fuel, how do you clean up the mess? Laundry detergent, apparently—Tide, specifically.
That scenario played out yesterday at one of the world's biggest driveways, Daytona International Speedway, and NASCAR, which offers more visibility for its sponsors than any other sport, gave Tide some unbeatable product placement when race employees spread the white powder over a swath of Turn 3 that had been scorched by flame. Juan Pablo Montoya had lost control of his car and run into a safety truck that was cleaning the surface. Jet fuel began leaking down the track, and the fire spread along with it. "I've never in my life," said one of NASCAR's TV announcers, too stunned to finish the sentence.Continue Reading >>

Christy and Tammy have each been teaching for 15 years, the past 10 together sharing a first grade classroom. Each teaching at separate schools in our district, we found each other after becoming first time moms and wanting {needing} to return to the classroom and our passion of teaching. We decided to job share until our own kids entered Kindergarten...those kids just turned 10 years old! Though we began this journey as teacher strangers and new moms, we have found a partnership and friendship that will last a lifetime. We are the teachers we are because of each other and we cannot imagine teaching without one another.
Each day is a new adventure in our classroom. When kids enter our room, they are ready to learn, grow and have a lot of fun along the way. We are always implementing creative strategies that engage our students while fostering a lifelong love of learning. We are a community of learners with different needs and unique styles. Our style reflects a whole child, multi-sensory approach to learning which empowers each child to reach their full potential while beginning to take greater responsibility for their own learning.

- 8 Books Every IT Leader Should Read This Year
- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
CIO - Hurricane Sandy left devastation in its wake, first pounding the Caribbean and then pummeling the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the U.S. People and businesses are now struggling to get back on their feet. As a CIO or IT leader, you need to ask yourself: Will your organization be prepared for the next disaster?
Do you have a disaster preparedness plan?
Sandy left at least 106 dead in the U.S. and left millions without power. In New York City, many homes and businesses have suffered severe damage, the public transit system remains snarled, utilities are struggling to reconnect services and gasoline is scarce. Damage from the storm is projected to be as much as $50 billion.
Residents--some of whom are now homeless or without power, heat or running water--are trying to find a way forward. Many businesses, too, were not prepared for the magnitude of the storm and are now struggling to get back on their feet. Disruptions in communications, power and transit are conspiring to make it a challenging prospect at best. But with the right planning, says Nicolas Dubus, IT director for Florida-based eTailer CableOrganizer.com, you can overcome these challenges with little or no business disruption when disasters strike in the future.
Dubus learned this lesson the hard way: In 2005, Hurricane Wilma hit Florida like a hammer, flooding much of the southern portion of the state. Wilma was responsible for $20.6 billion of damage in the U.S. ($24.5 billion in 2012 dollars). CableOrganizer.com, with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, was without power for four days.
Communication Is a Key Issue to Disaster Recovery
"More than power, communication was the issue," Dubus says. "We didn't have Internet. Cell phones weren't working. Regular phone lines weren't working. You couldn't communicate with your vendors."
[Related: How the Cloud Democratizes and Complicates Disaster Recovery]
Wilma was a wakeup call for CableOrganizer.com, a largely IT system-driven business that sells electrical, telecom/datacom/networking, home theater, cable and wire management products. After that experience, it got serious about disaster preparedness.
"Each year, prior to the month of June when hurricane season commences, we review our disaster-prevention procedures to ensure readiness in the event that a tropical storm or a hurricane heads our way," he explains. "But rather than a simple checklist and seasonal preparatory efforts, we review and maintain disaster prevention and recovery plans for all levels of the operation year-round to best assure we're truly prepared."
"Whether you have a small company or a big company, when there's a disaster like Sandy, it's very important to have a plan on paper and review it frequently," he adds. "Now we have a plan and it's documented. We know who's going to do what things and when. We know who's supposed to come here to the building, who's supposed to take care of different things in the building. We even have a blog that is private to the company where the owner is able to post updates and status to the Web."

Chat With a Mormon Online
Your privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy.
Your privacy is important to us. Please read our Privacy Policy.
I am a wife. I am a mother of two daughters. I am a professional actor working in New York City. I am a PTA Mom. I am a blogger. I am an amateur photographer and fiber artist. I'm discovering myself as I walk these city streets. I'm a Mormon.
Though raised a Mormon, I became truly converted as I came of age. When I was heading into my teens I decided to try an experiment. I would obey the commandments set forth for me, and see what happened. After faith, prayer, dedication and some time, I found that obedience = blessings. That formula is always true and has never failed me. That is why I'm a Mormon.
On a daily basis I do my best to say personal prayers and read my scriptures. I find that when I accomplish these daily goals, I have a much better day, no matter what may come my way. Beyond that I support my husband as he serves our congregation as the Bishop, and I also teach the 3-year-old children in primary.

Wine Stain Removal Carpet
Which machine to clean carpets better for stairs / wine rooms.Old / Remove stain solution of weak tea, without marks?
I noticed some machines have not announced an extension to the stairs. Previous attempts to clean up have resulted in leaving a lighter mark on the carpet once dried, possibly as a result of bleach in a solution of shampoo.
Having to go BEFORE RENT a cleaner, CREAM Try using "BARBASOL 'shave the striped red and white can [only]. Scan your tool with your STAIR STEPS TO YOUR SWEEPER then get a brush, a damp towel, towel dry and BARBASOL shaving cream. SHAVE SPRAY cream on the stained area just enough to cover ZONE 1 / 8 "You do not HOG wild with and inch thick. TAKE YOUR BRUSH AND WITH srub A back-N-FORTH movement in all directions through STAIN when shaving cream is rubbed into the carpet TAKE YOUR damp towel and do the same, then after that you do not see REMENENTS shaving cream. TAKE THE towel dry and do the SAME PATTERN RUBBING. AND IT should come out. I laughed when he said, but in all seriousness it works. But make sure to use brand NAME AND RED AND WHITE CAN. IF YOU HAVE BERBER carpet on your stairs you can use 'Windex glass "cleaner in the same way as cream shaving, BUT THE WINDEX Only works on berber carpet.

Residents may have social gatherings in your living space within certain guidelines.
To ensure your safety and to ensure that your guests comply with UIS Housing policies, we ask that parties be registered at least 5 business days in advance of your event.
Parties are described as events with 13 or more people. An event can also be considered a party if it looks, smells, sounds, or feels like a party – as determined by UIS Housing staff or other campus administrators.
When you register your party, the Resident Director for the area will meet with you to review the expectations and conditions of approval. If you have any questions please contact your area's Resident Director.
Additional Details
Apartment residents who wish to have a larger quantity of alcohol for of-age attendees only, and all residents who wish to invite guests equal to thirteen or more people inside/about an apartment (which includes the residents of the hosting apartment), or who sponsor an activity which features excessive noise must register their "party" with the Housing Office.
A mandatory meeting between all apartment residents and a Housing Office administrator will be scheduled as a pre-condition of approval. All listed sponsors must agree on several potential meeting times and be prepared to sign-up for a meeting with the administrator at the time you submit your registration form. If the requesting apartment has previously submitted a party registration form, attended the mandatory meeting, and hosted a successful event (without UIS Police or UIS Housing Staff intervention), then the designated host of the event will be the only required person to attend the registration meeting per event. This remains true only if all occupants of the apartment continue to be the same. The UIS Police Department will be notified when a request is submitted, and again once a permit is confirmed. At a minimum, please contact all neighbors that share a wall, breezeway, and floor with your apartment to discuss your permit application with them.
Parties are sometimes approved to go later than the start of quiet hours, but never beyond the stated time on the party registration form. Please note the strict limits on number of attendees set out in the party permit are to protect campus and residential security, minimize risk of damages and policy violations, and to maintain a manageable environment supporting and complementing the primary academic mission of the University. Participation limits are based on the size of your unit, not including decks and lawn areas. In addition to the registration form being submitted to the Housing Office, a guest list of actual invited attendees must also be provided.
When an unregistered party occurs, a violation exists, and everyone present is a part of that violation. Neither LRH residents nor apartment residents are permitted to be at unapproved parties in the apartments, even if they are not drinking. Similarly, no alcohol is allowed in LRH. Neither residents of campus apartments nor LRH residents are permitted to be in a room in LRH with alcohol, even if they are of age and even if they are not drinking.The Housing Office cannot condone the abuse of alcohol, use of illicit substances or misuse of approved substances.
Some of the situations or circumstances which may affect approval of party registrations include:
- the disciplinary history of the hosts
- prior history of past parties by the host
- number and frequency of parties in the area
- the hosts' relationships with neighbors
timing with regards to the academic calendar (e.g. parties are never approved during final exams) and university sponsored student activities planned for that night.
Failure to properly register and obtain approval will impact ability to host at a later date and may result in disciplinary action. Hosting an unregistered party is a serious breach of the Terms and Conditions as it violates the safety, security and academically sensitive principles upon which housing is provided to you.
To register:
The host of the party must fill out the form below and all roommates must also complete the roommate form below. The party will not be officially registered until each individual has completed the appropriate form.

Hello everyone,
I'm sure you all know how difficult it is to get the courage to take the dreaded before and during pictures. I have included pictures from Week 1, Week 4 and Week 6.
I am in week 8 now and have only lost 4 lbs. This can be very discouraging. Though I have chosen "Optimist" as my user-name, I have been far from being optimist. During these 8 weeks not a day goes by that I don't come to the forums for encouragement. If it weren't for the stories as well as reading the Body for Life book over and over again, I would not be here. I attempted to do the challenge back in 2002 but hurt my back during the 7th week and stopped never returning wanting to do the challenge every year after that but never doing it. Until this year when I turned 47 yrs old. I read the book cover to cover and decided that I needed to do something. I started the journey on Feb 22 2012, day after my birthday. At first I was very skeptical because I am also dealing with Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's Disease) and never thought I could have any results. But here I am in my 8th week and still hanging on.
This has been the best decision I have ever made in my life. I feel stronger, healthier and happier than ever before. I feel GREAT! I am looking foward to completing this competition!
My mental transformation is evident everyday and I see now that certain thought patterns were keeping me back. The mental transformation has trickled over to all other parts of my life.
Words of wisdom that I tell myself every day are:
"Someday I will do it!" – it is self deceptive
"I want to do it!" –it is weak
"I am doing it!" – it is the right way! I AM DOING THE BODY FOR LIFE CHALLENGE!!!!! Finally!
Getting healthy and being able to workout every day is an amazing privilege!
Keep it up! I see a big difference in the lower half especially the waist & thigh areas which are the hardest on us ladies. Did you measure too? I have not lost a lot of wieght & I am in week 10. My mother is actually has hyperthyroid disease (Graves) and it amazes me how one small organ can cause sooo much problems.
oh Wwowwww!
Way to go! You are getting really great results!!
Have you stuck with the program 100%
Keep it, truly inspiring!
Thanks Tonja! With Hashimoto's I have found out that best thing to do is follow a gluten free diet. I haven't gone gluten free completely but will have to tweak my nutrition with gluten free foods. It shouldn't be too hard to follow the BFL nutritional approach. I need to find out with EAS if their products are gluten free.
Thanks RockinRoe! I have to say that I have not follow the program 100%. I've had a hard time with the cardio but the last two weeks I have been incorporating PEAK 8 for cardio (20 minutes). It is also a HIIT Program but I am also trying my best to follow the BFL interval training. Something definately happened.
With nutrition, I did not follow 100% until two weeks ago. Let's just say that my free days were a little bit too free. I felt awful the day after eating "dirty". Now I am eating clean. Lot's of veggies and blueberries. I feel amazing. I have also added supplements like Vitamin D3, Zinc, Magnesium/Calcium, Carnatine, CLA, L-Glutamine and I am also using MCT oil.
Wow! There is definite progress. Abs, higher/firmer tooshie, lean back! This has to keep you motivated. I noticed that other folks saw the same results. Not much difference until after week 5-6. Stick with it!!!! It's working. You can't argue with that. Great work!
You look wonderful - did you do special exercises for your glutes? Wow!
You are doing AMAZING!! I can see a big difference in your hips, back, shoulders... all over!! Keep up the excellent work, and stay optimistic!! Your username is reflected in your progress to date. You are an inspiration! Well done ^_^
"Eat clean, train mean, live lean!"
Fantastic job! You're doing great.
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Hi Dee,
For my glutes I did deadlifts, Squats (dumbbells), adductor and abductor (machine) and leg presses I also incorporated the Lowerback extension (machine). I will be adding lunges to my workout - for some reason I have been a little apprehensive about doing these. I must do them though.
Thanks for the encouragement!
One more thing I forgot to share with you is that I've been doing Planks, front(60 seconds) and sides (30 seconds) every other day. These exercises strengthen you core.
Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement! I am totally pumped!
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Thanks, Optimist - I haven't been able to do squats yet - knees refuse...I kind of wondered about adductor and abductor - if anyone was using them. Funny - I've been apprehensive about lunges too - but I think because of the knee thing.
Thank you for your help,
Wow - I just started planks. Do you do just one for 60 seconds. or do you relax and do another one?
Thanks again.
You can definitely see the improvement. So encouraging to me as I have lots of weight to lose and toning to change, probably 3-4 challenges. I thought I couldn't see any improvement, but sure feel better. Thanks for showing us your photos. Keep up the great work!
WOW!!!!! Congrats!!! You are doing an AMAZING job! You can really see a difference in your upper body from the back side shots! You have completely inspired me! Keep up the great work!

FORTUNE -- It's hard to get excited about expense reports. But Steve Singh, CEO of travel and expense management software provider Concur Technologies, says the corporate travel experience is about to get much, much better. A big part of that improvement will come from tapping into some of the trends on the consumer side, says Singh. To that end, about two years ago Concur acquired TripIt, a consumer-facing app that aggregates travelers' itineraries. In 2012, the company launched the "Perfect Trip Fund," allocating funds to invest in startups that respond "to the needs of business travelers, the companies they work for, and the suppliers that serve them."
Last April, Concur (CNQR) also began opening up some of its APIs (short for application programming interface, or tools used by developers to write apps). That's meant small companies like TripLingo, which sells a mobile translation tool, can easily integrate with Concur's offerings -- sending helpful phrases to a user about to travel abroad, for example. To tap into more innovation, Concur held its first developer conference in San Francisco earlier this week. We caught up with Singh to find out how he's trying to change his company -- and the $250 billion business travel industry -- and why expense reports are still so cumbersome.
FORTUNE: What led you to start making some of the more recent changes at Concur?
Singh: We had this view of what business travel ought to be. When we first introduced it, we called it "The Perfect Trip" and the reaction was that this was kind of idealistic. Our view was, Why is it that something like the perfect trip can't be a reality? One of the early realizations was that there just wasn't a lot of capital available for companies that wanted to drive a massive amount of innovation into corporate travel, but there was a ton of capital for consumer travel. Why? The cost to get into corporate travel was very high, you had to build out a massive sales force to sell into companies. The reason why we looked at how to work with other companies is that there's no way we can solve all of the needs of business travelers ourselves. So we built out a platform that everyone can build on.

How does the "consumerization" trend fit into your strategy?
What the iPhone did is drive consumerization of IT -- apps that you and I could easily download and get engaged with. And that started pushing massive demand on the corporate side -- people were saying, Why aren't my corporate tools as easy to use as my consumer tools? What smart companies did is they said, We can actually build all these enterprise apps in a consumer model, so it's as simple to use as any consumer app. You can download it on the App Store and just start using it. That's forced every supplier to corporations to deal with the fact that the individual is now also a part of the decision process. It's not just a corporate purchase anymore. It's you and I saying what kind of tools we like and that influences heavily what companies buy.
I don't look forward to filing an expense report and don't know many people who do. How are you trying to improve your core travel and expense management software?
Our objective is to get the idea of an expense report to go away. Our view is we think we can actually populate the expense report as you take your trip. When you get off the airplane, we know you took a flight. Why don't we take the electronic receipt from the airline and automatically link it to your expense report, which we are already doing. The exact same thing for a hotel, or even dining or taxis. You should be able to use your phone to book a cab, pay for it and then have the receipt automatically go into Concur. Today if you use our full suite of products, then about 80% to 90% of the expense report we can do for you automatically. We haven't gotten that last 20% but that will take time, and we'll get to that. If you compare this to 20 years ago, what a massive change.
MORE: What could go wrong for BlackBerry now
More and more business travelers are booking through sites like Airbnb [an external website for booking rental accommodations]. Are you partnering with them?
We open up our platforms to companies like Airbnb so you can actually have an option within Airbnb to say, send this to my Concur expense report. It depends on the use case, but the idea behind an open platform is why can't you open this up to everybody in the world.
How far along are you in opening those APIs?
This is our first developers conference. We announced the Concur T&E Cloud about a year ago, and in the first six months we saw 50 application developers build applications on top of our platform. Today we hosted about 160 developers who are also building on top of the platform. We expect over the course of the year to see that number going to 500 or so. When you think about the number of travel apps sitting in the App Store you're talking about 20,000 or thereabouts. Every single one of these apps has the opportunity to integrate onto our platform. Give us a few years, and what you'll find is that's exactly what will happen.
TripIt was an innovative startup that helps users organize travel. Concur is an entrenched leader in the corporate travel world. Their fates tied together will be a playbook--or a warning--for the current generation of startups.

Beef University Boosts Foodservice and Retail Professionals' Beef Knowledge
DENVER, Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Beef Checkoff Program unveiled a new web-based platform for its popular training program, Beef University. For nearly a decade, foodservice and retail professionals have relied on checkoff training tools to educate staff on how beef is brought to market, from farm to fork.
Beef University educates retailers and foodservice operators on all facets of beef from production and product quality to marketing and merchandising. Downloadable tools include PowerPoint presentations, fact sheets and videos; all of which can be used for self-directed education or part of a customized training session facilitated by Beef Checkoff staff or utilized within a company's training program.
"Retail and foodservice operators have a direct connection with the people that consume the beef raised by my family and the entire beef community, and so it's important that we share the knowledge and insights on the care that goes into raising American's favorite high-quality protein," said Sid Viebrock, a beef producer from Washington and chairman of the checkoff's Value Subcommittee. "Because of this, we saw an opportunity to create a forum for increased engagement with those who are on the front lines serving and selling beef every day."
The online community enables users to directly connect with beef subject matter experts and share feedback on resources, express interest in additional education needs and more.To explore the fully-customizable and free resources, become a member of the Beef U online community at www.BeefRetail.org/BeefUniversity.aspx or www.BeefFoodservice.com/BeefUniversity.aspx.
About the Beef Checkoff
The Beef Checkoff Program (www.MyBeefCheckoff.com) was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. In states with qualified beef councils, states retain up to 50 cents of the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

GreatSchools Rating
My youngest child just graduated. Older children attended private high schools. Incoming parents, please note that although GH is a highly rated school, it is still a PUBLIC high school with 2200 students. Due to budgetary cuts, GH staff has been cut significantly since my child arrived in 9th grade. Take this into account when you interact with teachers and staff. My child had 2 lousy teachers, 2 outstanding teachers, and a bunch of pretty good ones. Counselors especially carry a huge workload. Your child may not get much attention until senior year when college applications are prepared. But they will get the help they need if you work with the staff politely and reasonably. Remember, if you want the same personal attention parents and students receive at Cary Academy, Cardinal Gibbons, and Ravenscroft, you'll have to pay for it.
We are looking to move from Texas to the area and are deciding on schools. Any updated information?
For those moving to the triangle area, Green Hope is arguably the best public high school in the state for both academics and athletics. They just won the statewide Wells Fargo Cup (4A) for athletic excellence - and you can see here their academic ratings (top in this area). I will have two graduates soon and both have had great experiences at Green Hope.
A good school is one with good teachers, good parents and good students. GHHS has all these three in place. So now it all depends on you (the student) how to make use of the available resources and in turn bring good name to GHHS. We are also planning to move to GHHS from CA.
Hello I need help I am a student living in California right now and I am going to be a Freshman. Should I move to GHHS? Or not? And why? Help please!
Mostly good teachers, but my daughter, who is a senior, has had some really bad ones, especially her chemistry teacher. Not too impressed with the principal.
I have been impressed with Green Hope High School since arriving in Cary, North Carolina almost 4 years ago. As I now have both a rising Senior and an incoming Freshman, I can attest to the school's overall professionalism, academic acheivements and excellent services. The faculty at Green Hope is "top notch" and clearly dedicated to the students.
I am a current student at GHHS, and I do agree with many of the other reviews that it is a decent school. Yet, there are still many unenthusiastic and honestly, depressing teachers that teach here. I would say out of my 16 teachers that I have had, so far six have been very good, while at least five have not only been incompetent in their subject, but refused to teach and where blatantly disrespectful and used biased grading with the students because they hated their jobs. Green hope is known for excellent test scores, but what most don't know is that there is a percentage of students that does so well that it inflates the average and poor students scores. The school does not look to improve their lower scoring students scores very often. If a student wants to succed in the top half of the class, a tutor outside of school is positively mandatory.The pressure and competition here is insane, while the school lacks any positive reinforcement or incentives to students, or even any inspiration. The student body knows that we are more well off than some i'n economically challenged areas, but that's no excuse for the poor education I feel I am still receiving.
This school is fantastic. Interesting teachers, great students. My son had a teacher that held AP History review in the evening for those who were taking the exam. This was on his own time. Great communication from the principal as well. It rivels any private school.
I attend Green Hope and in my opinion its the best school around. You really cant bash it for drugs/ alcohol or sex. Thats just all high schools. Even private school's its an issue. Its just kids being kids not the school's fault. They do come down very hard on anyone they catch. The school police officer is the best ive ever met and with some of the finest teacher's around. The kids are all pretty well behaved. At neighboring school Panther Creek 8 fights have been had since the year began. At green hope 2 have happened and none of the fighters had been hurt. The faculty had broken them up before they became serious. Its honestly a clean, strict, well run school
I'm a student currently attending Green Hope High School (Senior Year). Green Hope High School is an excellent school.
The academics are pretty good, but the teachers definatly do not care about your kids (with a few exeptions) but I do not blame them, with the large class sizes. There is no school spirit and drugs and alcohol are rampant. However, there is a high graduation rate and most kids go to college. If you want your child to not be horribly bullied because of the clothes they wear, or get into alcohol/drugs/sex too early, be careful who their friends are, or even better, send them to private school.
The academics are fantastic and there is much diversity. Good environment for students to learn!
Because it has really made independent thinkers of my grandkids -- and that's a good thing.
It's a community of students, staff, parents, and volunteers who want all students to graduate on time, ready to realize their full potential.
Green Hope HS cares about the mental health of their students! save the teens project will be there in 2010!
Green Hope is a school of excellence! It meets the needs of all students
Green Hope is a big school with a small town community feel. The teachers are more than helpful and truly care about the students. I have had only positive experiences when contacting a teacher with questions or concerns. GHHS also has one of the largest high school cross country teams in the nation, boasting over 225 runners! What a great message ot send teens ... you dont have to be the fastest runner to be on our team, you only have to believe in yourself and give 110% effort everyday. The coaching staff devotes so much of their time every afternoon and weekend and it is so appreciated. These are just a few reason why I beleive that GHHS should be voted Americas Favorite School. Elaine Mongno
GH meets the needs of all students...It also provides a great opportunity for my daughter to participate in Winterguard....finished 19th in WGI last year
Green Hope High has an amazing, comforting, and welcoming environment. Unlike other clique-driven schools, the students here have the courage to talk to, hang out with, and mingle with other students that aren't in their 'regular' group. I feel we aren't 'cliquey' because of the postive atmosphere many administrators, teachers, and some students try to put forth.

It turns out this presidential election wasn't so much about race after all, but about something bigger, more fundamental and harder to ignore. And there's a lesson here for shellshocked Republicans, still wondering how things went so wrong:
It's time to drop that "Take our country back" stuff and take your party back instead.
Barack Obama's romp took many by surprise. Even as Obama votes piled up on Tuesday night, political operative Dick Morris, who has worked both sides of the aisle, kept predicting a Mitt Romney landslide.
It's hard to argue with the demographic dimensions of Obama's victory. He won in almost every category of voters except senior citizens and white men.
That's led to lots of head-banging for GOP pundits: Romney might have won, they say, if he had eased up on illegal immigration and found a running mate who could attract Latinos or draw votes in swing states.
But this is not a matter of fine-tuning the message or rustling up a candidate with brown skin or serviceable Spanish.
The problem is a platform that staked out the far-right fringe on so many issues that it turned off immigrants, women, minorities, single mothers, young people, gays and lesbians.
The images of winners and losers on election night said it all: the Norman Rockwell tableau in Romney's sullen Boston ballroom versus the kaleidoscopic diversity of Obama's Chicago victory montage.
The America the Republicans want is not the one we have.
Conventional wisdom would credit the win to smart campaigning and coalition-building.
According to exit polls, support for Obama came from 93% of blacks, 71% of Latinos, 73% of Asian Americans, 76% of gays and lesbians, 60% of voters under 30 and 55% of women.
But that is not your classic ideological coalition, with shared interests and concerns. That's a collection of folks alienated, over time, by Republicans and their mission to return America to an era when some people had it really good — and whole groups of others had to settle for leftovers.
People vote their pocketbooks, but they also vote their passions. And those reflect not only their age and ethnic heritage, but the sort of personal lives that right-wingers have made clear they're not willing to abide.
Women are having babies without marrying the fathers. Gays and lesbians aren't willing anymore to stay hidden in the closet. Young people are using social media to lift their champions and bury their opponents. And Latinos and Asian Americans are staking their claim to a growing slice of this American pie.
And that affects the rest of us. If you don't have a family member who's gay, you probably have a friend or co-worker who is. If you have teenagers at home, you've probably learned to accept their bands of multiracial friends.
And if you are, like me, a single mother, you don't want to be made to feel that you are shortchanging your kids. And I'm not willing to allow my daughters' reproductive options to be controlled by a bunch of narrow-minded, self-righteous men.
Voters carried those slights and insults to the voting booth, tired of being treated with contempt by a party that doesn't seem to understand their realities.
We're rejecting hypocritical rhetoric: Newt Gingrich, with three marriages and a string of infidelities, arguing that allowing gays to wed violates the sanctity of marriage.
Women heard a wake-up call in Todd Akin's remarks about rape shutting a woman's body down. That kind of idiocy is frightening, and it brings clarity to what's at stake in the debate over abortion.
And young people rebelled at being written off as society's leeches. They are working full time for poverty wages or desperate for jobs that don't exist, part of that sponger demographic — the 47% — that Romney privately mocked.
I don't know if it's mean-spirited, shortsighted or simply wishful thinking, but the Republican Party is pandering to a base that is rapidly shrinking in a country that's learning to tune them out.
It would be nice to think that this botched campaign reflects the pull of the party's fringe, and is easily correctable.
But the GOP has been tacking right for decades. Obama's ascent to the presidency just escalated the phenomenon by helping to launch the tea party wing, whose mission was getting him out of office.
According to Emory University professor Alan Abramowitz, who has studied the tea party for years, that ultra-conservative activist segment now dominates the Republican Party.
Tea party folks donate more money, attend more meetings and rallies, and pester elected officials more than other party regulars. They are rabidly against abortion and gay marriage and tend to hold hostile attitudes toward blacks and gays.
And more than half of Republicans — 63% of party stalwarts — consider themselves supporters of the tea party movement.
That explains why the muscle-flexing of the "new America" in this election drove party leaders bonkers.
There was Karl Rove on Tuesday night, having a temper tantrum when Fox News called Ohio — and the race — for President Obama. Rove had funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Republican candidates and had very little to show for it.
And there was Bill O'Reilly whining that this country is "not a traditional America anymore," implying that Republicans value hard work and fair play, and those other people just "want stuff."
And Morris, excusing his roundly mocked projection of a Romney landslide by admitting that the "new America" caught him by surprise.
He thought that the election four years ago was nothing but a "one-off," that voter-turnout demographics would "go back to 2004," he said.
I guess he figured the groups that cinched Obama's first term — minorities, women, young people — were only there for the party.
Which means Republicans weren't beaten only by arithmetic this time. They lost through willful blindness.

At the most, his stance is one of a controlled anger that insists on the continuing validity of the community's heritage. It invokes the acknowledgement of the vitalizing force of the community's cultural memory, including Maori legends and myths, as much as the experience of colonization and marginalization. On the one hand, when recalling and naming legendary navigators and explorers like Kupe ('Waka 70'), mythological figures like Tane, the God of forests ('Waka 94'), or the ancestors' historical journeys across the Ocean of Kiwa ('Waka 62'), Sullivan's politico-cultural commitment merges with that of his community to create a highly effective blend of emotion and poetically rendered ideas.
On the other hand, these excursions into the remote or more recent past ('Waka 78') are complemented by imagining a future resurrection of the past "in the blood of the men and women" who relate to the "time of Kupe and before" ('Waka 99'); or by contrast, a future of space travel and the colonization of planets "picking up the tools our culture has given us". It is a world mapped equally by its advanced technology and, metaphorically, of offering total "release from gravity"('Waka 46').
Humour and wit subtly displayed here – and satirically entertaining in 'London Waka' – find their way again and again into Sullivan's poetry, as does a more personal note in poems reminiscing his family and its whakapapa or genealogical roots of Irish, Scottish and Maori descent, especially in his first two poetry collections, Jazz Waiata (1990) and Piki Ake! (1993). Here, poems touch more often on the author's self, his cultural and political views, but nowhere do they resort to the excruciating quest for personal identity we frequently encounter in the writing-back of marginalized people. Sullivan's strong belief in the strength of his Maori heritage translates into powerful poetry and a sovereign command of the medium that ranges from a narrative style close to prose to epigrammatic brevity and poetic succinctness. As the title of his Voice Carried My Family (2005) intimates, Sullivan, reading examples from Star Waka (1999), his perhaps most accomplished collection referred to by him as "one hundred poems, and 2001 lines", impressively mediates his unshakeable yet reflected rootedness in his community by voicing its living memories, beliefs and hopes in a nuanced Maori-accented, balanced and quietly joyful delivery.

It's not official yet, but Dylan Hernandez is reporting that Rafael Furcal will indeed be headed to the disabled list thanks to his strained left hamstring. This is disappointing, but not entirely unexpected. What's far more disheartening is that Hernandez also claims that Nick Green will be called up from AAA to take his place, rather than Chin-Lung Hu.
Somehow, I've actually written about "Green vs. Hu" several times, initially when the first rumors about Green arriving came early last December:
If you don't know much about Green, that's because you shouldn't. This is a guy who is 31 and has played for five teams in parts of five seasons, almost entirely as a backup. In 2009, he was pressed into service as Boston's starting shortstop for nearly half the season thanks to a multitude of injuries, and responded with a pretty bad .236/.303/.366 line. That's not even a case of a guy being exposed due to too much playing time; that mirrors exactly his career line of .239/.307/.352. Even in over 3000 PA appearances in the minors, his OBP is just .324. "Getting on base" is clearly not Nick Green's strength, no matter where he plays.
"But hey," you might say. "He's a shortstop, so if he really can't hit, he must be a whiz with the glove, right?" You'd say that, and you'd be wrong. For his entire career, he's a whopping 0.6 fielding runs above average. That's not horrible, but nor is it an asset.
So please, enlighten me. When you're trying to come up with backup infielders, paying Nick Green more than you'd have to pay Chin-Lung Hu to be 5 years older, a far inferior fielder, and a likely inferior batter (Hu at least has a .342 OBP in the minors, and at his age still has time to improve) makes sense in what way exactly?
Then when he was actually signed in January and it sounded like he'd make the club, I was still not all that happy about it:
Now I will grant that it's a minor-league deal, so the money is negligible and the commitment is zero. But Rosenthal paints it as though he will be the backup shortstop, without even mentioning the possibility of Hu. So someone please explain this math problem to me:
Hu is a better fielder than Green.
Hu is younger than Green.
Hu is healthier than Green.
Hu is likely at least as good of a hitter, if not better, than Green.
Hu has at least a slight chance of upside, while Green has none.
Therefore, Green > Hu. Of course it does.
So what's changed since then? The correct answer is "well, it's only a month into the season, so unless Green's already put up 20 homers while Hu broke his leg, that's not nearly enough time to be more important than the last several years of established history". But we all know it doesn't work like that, because if it did we wouldn't have seen any Ortizii on this squad.
In spring training – and yes, I know that these stats don't mean much, but don't pretend they don't often decide jobs – Hu had a line of .281/.324/.281. Obviously there's no power there, so it's not stellar… but it's also streets ahead of Green's .139/.324/.167. After camp broke, neither one has been hitting very well in the first month at ABQ - Hu at .227/.261/.242, and Green at .219/.242/.438.
So I can't pretend that Hu is forcing his way back into the bigs, and it's quite possible that he'll never be an acceptable major league hitter. But that's sort of it, isn't it? Assuming that Furcal returns from the DL on May 14 when he's eligible, you're just looking for a shortstop fill-in/bench infielder for the next 10 games or so. You don't need or expect any sort of offensive contribution; you just need someone who can play a better shortstop than Jamey Carroll. Now, there should be no question – none, to the point where I don't even need to break out the stats to back it up - that Hu is a superior defender to Green. But not only that, he outhit him in the spring, and he's got a better (if still pretty lousy) OBP so far in AAA.
Sometimes you wonder why this team is floundering… and sometimes you wonder if the list of poor decisions should be updated on a daily basis.

Yankee Magazine's March/April 2013 Issue
DUBLIN, New Hampshire (February 13, 2013)— Yankee Magazine's March/April issue, on newsstands February 26, examines the power of place with feature stories about how land defines us. The theme continues through the entire issue with a reader hometown photo contest; a humorous look at New England's mud season; and Edie Clark's celebration for her 250-year old house.
"In New England— a region so compact, so woven with landscape and history and ancestry and tradition— the sense of place burrows more deeply than anywhere else," says Yankee Magazine's editor Mel Allen. "For editors, every issue is special in its own way, but some speak to us more than others. This is one of them."
To read more, go "Inside the Issue."
Yankee Magazine's editors are experts on all things New England including travel, food, home and garden. They are willing to discuss a wide range of topics with the media. Please contact Heather Atwell with any requests to interview our editors, or with any other questions about covering Yankee.

Holiday 2009
Onboard the Cahuelmo, the expanse of Golfo de Ancud has tightened as we enter the narrow fjord of Reñihué. The sky is abnormally cloudless for these parts, the water calm, and the air eerily still. The muffled gurgling sound of the Cahuelmo's engine permeates the silence. The Tompkins' residence is only accessible by boat or small plane. Located at the base of the remote fjord, it is surrounded by lush jungle and flanked by white-capped mountains.
After dinner one evening, the Tompkins invite us over to their home to watch a few DVDs about the parks they are creating. Before the viewing, Doug talks candidly about his efforts and what has inspired him. He begins his speech with the word "love." The conclusions he draws from the word and its origins make perfect sense to me, but I can't help but be thrown off by this. It sounds so sensitive and esoteric coming from this seemingly tough and stoic revolutionary. "Love," he says, "is what it all boils down to."
In a section of one DVD titled "Sharing the Planet with Others," Doug quotes naturalist Lois Crisler: "Species of every ecosystem around the world are going extinct, not by the hour, but by the minute." In a stern and haunting voice, Doug makes clear which animals are near extinction.

C.H.A Update Info: 09/07/10
I am still writing, honest!
I just picked a funny old time to start up a horror film review site. No sooner had I got it up and running, and shamelessly plugged it as much as I possibly could, I have had to endure the heartache of a break up with my girlfriend. However, I am already getting over it, and moving on with my life – been there done that loads of times! Therefore, with the extra time on my hands, not having to think about somebody else, I am just about to finish the next article.
Much like the 'The Evil Dead' piece, it is a feature/review. Generally, it will be one of my last articles on an American modern horror film, for a while. I will make two exceptions though; the first is for new releases. When I have finished this piece, I will be writing a review of 'Predators' (2010). The second is for sub-genres I have not covered yet. Other than that, I will be concentrating on other countries and eras of cinematic horror. My reason for this, is that my first eight reviews now (six published, two in the works), have all been American, and from the modern era. It is, after all, a Cinematic Horror Archive. When I have a more evened out archive, I will then free myself, and write about whatever I want. If it is horror, I will write about it!
The site has started out pretty well. The number of views per day, for the first two days, was very good, but has slumped since. It has only been up about a week and a half though. It is obvious I just need to keep writing, and publish my work as often as possible. What feedback I have had, has been positive. I would however, like to see more comments for the articles, with your opinions on the films, and talk of my opinions on them. I write to encourage conversation amongst you all, as that is part of the fun of film criticism. An added bonus is that I can get some lesser-known and underrated films out there. For example, 'Frozen' (2010); despite a warm reception from critics, and the people who actually saw it liking it, the distributors – Anchor Bay – shate all over it!
I will never stop plugging my site. However, for now, I need to concentrate on getting some more work published. Every time I finish new material though, I will for dam sure be getting it out there! I have valid opinions on film, and as many people as possible should know about them. This is because, as I said before, one of the parts of film criticism, which I really enjoy, is the conversation that it induces. This is why I do it! I love film, particularly horror, and I really like to write. It makes sense for me to do this, and I certainly do not do it for nothing, so I would like as many people as possible to read my work, and give feedback on it. I have nothing to gain financially, as my site was not created for profit; it is a hobby. Therefore, spamming is not a word that comes into it, as I am not trying to get people to sign up to anything, so I can reap the financial benefits.
The smaller sites I have used to self-promote, I have put links up for on my homepage. Not just for returning the favor, but also because they are also young fledgling sites that need a helping hand – we are all in the same boat. They are also sites I enjoy reading, and I want to make many people aware of them.

It's always tough to leave a tight crew. But, it looks like you have a great opportunity in front of you. Congrats!
Congrats man, sometimes it's bittersweet to leave a place.
Most times NOT!
Looking forward to an update on the new diggz.
No matter how high the throne,
there sits but an ass.
That's a great looking kitchen. Congrats!
Starting this harvest I'm a starving startling artist/
Lyrical arsonist it's arduous spitting this smartest arsenic/
If the last picture was of the kitchen you are going to it looks like you are in for a treat! If it is of the place you are leaving I can't wait to see the new kitchen.
Congrats Chuckles. Looks like a nice gig.

Student learning happens both within the classroom and outside of it. To fully understand student learning outcomes at Northeastern Illinois University means that all programs that take an active role in helping students to learn are reviewed. These include Academic Development Programs, as well as Leadership Development Programs in Student Life and Special Academic Program Initiatives such as the First-year Experience Program , Diversity and Cultural Programs sponsored by the Angelina Pedroso Center, and the Honors Program to name a few.
While these programs do not confer degrees, they enable students to engage in personal and social development, in learning how to study, in learning how to think critically, communicate effectively in diverse settings and "lead in the world.""
Beginning in 2011, these programs are included as part of regular periodic program review activities. The templates below provide some guidelines for the development of the self-study prior to the engagement of an external reviewer. OAPR will contact programs to initiate self study and professional development and necessary consultations to complete the process.
