'Race to the Top' gives schools nearly $400M in grants
WASHINGTON (AP) - Schools from 55 districts in 11 states plus the District of Columbia have won nearly $400 million in federal grants to promote school reform.
This year's version of President Barack Obama's Race to the Top competition let districts, rather than states, apply. The goal is to promote local solutions and personalized learning.
The grants range from $10 million to $40 million. Some districts teamed up to submit joint proposals. More than 300 proposals were rejected.
The winners include three charter school organizations.
Miami schools won $30 million for a proposal to put a math center in every middle school. Other districts will focus on training teachers, expanding technology and increasing accountability.
Education Secretary Arne (AR'-nee) Duncan says the winners demonstrated a vision to go beyond a one-size-fits-all model for reform.

Jonathan Audy-Marchessault, C/W |
Shoots: R |
Height: 5-9 |
Weight: 163 |
Born: 1990-12-27 |
Hometown: Cap-Rouge, Que, CAN |
Drafted: undrafted |
March 2014 - NHL Trade Deadline: The undersized Jonathan Marchessault was part of a four player trade that sent him and Dalton Smith to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Dana Tyrell and Matt Taormina. Playing for Springfield, Marchessualt has posted 14 goals and 40 points in 57 games this season. Brendan Ross
March 2013 – Its rather disappointing Columbus is not giving Marchessault a proper opportunity yet. He is showing the dominance at the AHL level that Dobber alluded to in his comparisons of Cory Conacher and David Desharnais, and is in my viewings he is even more of a game breaker than that pair. His puck dispersal will bring you up from your seat and he is not totally one dimensional. He does need a little work with his positioning without the puck, but when needed he is rather responsible. Columbus sniped a strong 'diamond in the rough' from the Rangers when they signed him to an NHL contract in the summer. For a team struggling to produce goals, it is beyond comprehension for them not to try anything to help the goalies who are wasting quality starts. If the Blue Jackets get extremely desperate and give him a real run in the top six, he is a prospect to watch and to pluck off the waiver wire and ride for a bit and see where it goes. (Personally, I did that with David Desharnais when we was originally recalled and eventually sold him off in a trade that led me to win a championship last year.) His size makes him a bit of a question mark long-term, but Marty St. Louis proves it can be done and be very profitable. Jason Banks
November, 2012 – An undersized, skilled forward reminds of Cory Conacher without the tenacity. JAM's stature, combined with good, but not great QMJHL numbers caused him to be overlooked in the draft both years. A 95-point breakout for Quebec as an over-ager caught the attention of the Rangers and he received a training camp invite in 2011. He parlayed that into an AHL job with Connecticut where his 64 points as a rookie impressed. The Blue Jackets gave him an NHL contract, and he rightfully figured that he would have more opportunity to crack the roster there than in New York. Currently ninth in AHL scoring with 12 points in 10 games. He's also playing with more bite. If he finishes the season this way, he could be the next (goal-scoring version) of David Desharnais.
As with all undersized players, it's an uphill battle. Not worth pinning your hopes on unless and until he dominates the AHL the way Conacher did in 2011-12.

This is a good black lager.
Deep brown, almost black, medium-big tan head steadily shrinks.
Aroma is toasty, hint of burnt toast & prunes but all very light.
Taste clean, light but tasty dark toast, hint of prunes & wine, light zesty bitterness. It's not complex, flavour is light but it's firm with some depth, a very good drinkable dark lager, clean with nice light bitterness to back it up.

Found this in a cooler of a Korean grocery. Never seen it before.
A: Black in color, but a thin black, somewhat translucent. Forms a moderate sized tan head. Decent retention, but does eventually fall to a thick ring around the edge.
S: Aroma is sweet and roasty. There is a slight milk-stout quality to the beer.
T: Taste reminds me of a sweet, light, black IPA. Roasty malts. Mild sweetness. Chocolate. A bit of dark fruit.
M: On the lighter side of medium. Low bitterness. Low carbonation.
O: An interesting find. Not a bad beer. Rather approachable. But nothing too complex or exciting either.

I poured this really black brew into my tumbler at 40 degrees. The beer was uhhh black. I said That. The beer poured a really nice big head and I like that. The beer had a slight beer smell, oh I guess it should. Really could not come up with anything else. I liked the beer and its a good product that I believe I will will have to buy again.

Perhaps it was my expectation of how it should taste that interfered with my assertion of how it "did" taste. Poured thick, with a dark brown cola color that produced a medium head of coffee. I attempted to pair with sushi, as you would a traditional Japanese beer, but this failed to compliment the richness of the fish.
I will have to try again, because I feel like I gave the beer a raw deal based upon the circumstances on which it was consumed. However, the taste was lacking in my opinion, done better by many American stouts.
That being said, the beer had a rich mouth-feel and a silky texture which I did enjoy.

Poured from a 11.3 oz bottle, into a pilsner.
A: Very dark brown. Pours a hefty, cascading, brown-white head. Craters slowly and unevenly leaving lots of dry sticky residue behind as it does. Plenty of persistent lacing.
S: Char roasted malt grains, a little peat, and a little dish soap.
T: Roasted pecans, a little licorice, even less unsweetened dark chocolate, and even less still molasses.
M: Hearty body, but feels a little washed out. A little bit of a peaty aftertaste hangs on the palate.
D: Sip or session.
Atmosphere is pretty good. Dark, with a giant head, and plenty of lacing. Nose is roasty, with some pungency, and an unsettling soapy component. Roasted nuts, chocolate, licorice, molasses... well-balanced, as each of the components are lacking a bit. A little shallow when it's all said and done. Overall, this is a pretty good quaff.

Who knew that there would be a market for Dark German Lagers in the land of Rice Beers?
Asahi Black pours with a deep garnet, nearly bark brown color. Its brilliant clarity casts ruby highlights and bronze shaddows. Ample carbonation streams through the lager to form a dainty sheet of foam on the beer's surface. Dissipating fairly quickly, the lager trails with random spots of lace.
Distinctive aromas of light roast, toast, light coffee grounds and a hint of chocolate. Decorated with mild raisin and licorice fruitiness, the clean toasted malt profile shows a delicate ester profile. Its early palate is slightly of caramel and sweet cereal grain. Dry on the middle palate, the taste is scant with the robust pilsner malt to back up the toast and fruit and leaves the scent and taste needing a tad more support. Its finish is short, toasted and nutty with the flavor of more delicate coffee and dates.
Light on the palate, the lager sheds its carbonation quickly as it has little malt support to retain much creaminess. Though the beer thins out considerably, it remains refreshing from the try toast elements and slight coffee-like bitterness. Shy alcohol warmth and mild grain-derived astringency closes the beer with a linger of fruit and toast.
Though largely void of malt underpinnings and roundness, its understated savory taste lends itself to seared fish and robust sushi dishes.

Cola brown that's garnet in light with puffy sepia head that fades fast.
Ash, tin, cherry stones, and grass on the muted nose.
Brown bread dough, sugar coated raisins, miso and cola, a little roasty edge, then cut hay hops.
Malteser finish and tingly linger.
Crisp, fizzy, light, flinty.
Confused by this one - Roger Protz says that Japanese black lagers are "more Saxon than Franconian" - schwarzbiers, not dunkels.
Nevertheless, this lines up with all the right sweet, bready dunkel notes (albeit in a watered down fashion) and the hops are there. Maybe I'm supposed to ignore the rice and corn, but this is thin by any lager standard, yet still sweet enough to almost cloy, and the roast is more burnt sugar than chocolate.
Quenching, but I feel like a headache is not far away.

Pours a hazy dark orange-brown with a foamy khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Small streaks of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, biscuit, and slight char-like aromas. Taste is much the same with roasted grain flavors on the finish. There is a very mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is drinkable but it smells slightly better in my opinion.

Today has been a good day… and I have some time to kill before meeting my buddy Scott for dinner, so I figured we could review a beer. I am not sure if I have had this before, but reading they use rice has me pumped up. I have been on a rice IPA kick lately… just something that smooths out the mouthfeel and provides a more enjoyable experience. Also a cool story about how Asahi basically took over from being the name of the beer to being the name of the brewery. We are having sushi for dinner… so this is only fitting!
Here is another small bottle… 11.3 ounces on this one. Would it really kill them to send a full beer? No worries. I am ready to drink! Oh, and we are meeting Scott at Angel's Trumpet Ale House… so I will be drinking plenty there.
In the Glass: It's dark, but it's not black. I wish I knew Japanese… I wonder what the label says/means. It could say, "This is the best beer ever!" and we would never know. When I was pouring it, the beer produced a really nice creamy head… but it was gone as fast as I could turn around. Not much lace to speak of. Let's see what she smells like. (I still feel weird writing that…)
Nose: This smells like rich malty bread. The rice isn't really coming through, but I am sure it will in both the mouthfeel and the flavor. A second whiff has me smelling some of those dark malts that were tacked about. I hope the flavor delivers.
Flavor: It's nice, but not until the end. There is a lot going on with the mouthfeel… but the flavor is really lacking for a beer that is sold by the palate. Or is it palette? You know what I mean. The best part of this beer is the finish. In the tasting notes they mentioned coffee several times, but I am not getting much coffee from this. There might be a hint of coffee in the finish, but the dark malts are all I am getting here.
Mouthfeel: At first, there isn't much going on and then it explodes into a crisp sharp malty backbone. Then, as it sits on the palate it begins to dry. I get a hint of coffee notes as it finishes, but that isn't really changing the mouthfeel. I don't want to call it boring, but it's nothing to write home about.
Aftertaste: This is the best part. It has a nice drying finish to it, but the flavor dwindles in a hurry. Right after I swallow it tastes good… and I want that flavor to continue. But it doesn't. I am still not getting any rice from this. Grab a Flying Fish Wild Rice Double IPA… THAT is what rice is supposed to taste like in a beer. If I were to buy an Asahi beer again, it would be the Super Dry. We are having sushi later. I hope they have Asahi Super Dry!

T: The taste has flavors of nutty and caramel malts with hints of cola; there are some hints of initial sweetness which are then followed by a slight amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light-bodied, a little watery and a bit smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is extremely easy to drink and can be considered sessionable.

334cl bottle poured @ home into a Westmalle chalice during October 2012, just after it's best before date.
Deep ruby red body with thinning tanned head on top: the head becoming a wisp and collar a bit too quickly for my liking.
Struggled to find any aroma at all: hints of maltiness as it warmed I suppose.
The taste was too close towards a Pepsi Cola with alcohol for me. Wasn't impressed at all. It had almost the same texture and body feel as well.

A 334ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2012. Purchased from a supermarket some time back. Imported from Japan - a pleasant surprise as Asahi Super Dry lager is contract brewed over here. The bottle cap says 'munich type', and the ingredients include maize and rice.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. A deep reddish-brown hue that appears black unless held to the light. Low carbonation. Yields a huge head of creamy tan foam that lasts for a while before reducing to a thin surface layer. Aroma of sweet dark malt with notes of caramel, dried fruit, a hint of brown sugar, faint chocolate and mild stewed hops. Not bad.
Tastes of sweet dark malt with a mild bitter finish. Notes of roasted grain, caramel, dried fruit, brown sugar and stewed hops. Whispers of chocolate and coffee aromas in the background. Quite dry, with a restrained bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth and thick, with light, tingly carbonation. Aftertaste of sweet dark malt and hints of dried fruit.
A decent dark lager, particularly coming from such a large brewery. It looks great, and the aroma is relatively complex. The flavour is OK but lacklustre - some vitality is missing . Nice, smooth body. Pleasant and easy-drinking; I could imagine having this again. Worth trying.

A black beer with a bubbly, tan brown coloured head on top that settles as a thin, patchy lacing after about a minute.
Very dark with lots of strong malts coming through with a good amount of chocolate and toffee. It also has some spice, a sweet sugar aroma and a touch of nut with some bread and very light alcohol right at the end.
Strong roasted barely flavour to begin with along with some nice roasted malts and good amounts of spice. There is a some mild alcohol notes and and a nice, rich chocolate flavour to it.
Light side of medium bodied with a nice amount of spice to it and good, solid carbonation and a nice tang to it.
An excellent beer all round without really excelling in any one area individually. The flavours and aroma were well balanced and complimented each other quite well without overpowering you and the drink was very smooth.

Asahi Black has a thick, beige head and a clear, dark red appearance, with lots of streaming bubbles and good, thick lacing. The aroma is of sweet, dark, sugary malt and grain husks. Taste is of dark-roasted malts, sweetness, dark cherries, grain husks, cream, cocoa powder, and some bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Asahi Black finishes crisp, clean, refreshing, and mostly dry. This bottle was stamped 10/2008, but still, this was excellent.

Pours a lovely pitch black body but I would never have guessed that the Japanese would give such good head, tan and big and proud.
Lovely malt smells and a hint of toffee.
The taste is dark indeed malty and a hint of liquorice slightly sweet but just slightest bitterness on the way out of the door not much else though.
A very thin mouthfeel but good carbonation.
I guess if I found myself in the land of the rising sun, I would be supping this, quite good, indeed worth trying

Forms an easy head and keeps a fine line of head for the duration of the glass this is black but with many reddish brown highlights. Medium roasty flavour, some sweetness and a quick dash of treacle but slightly on the dilute side. Thinnish and easy drinking. Reminscent of Labatt Velevet Cream Porter but without the shrilling zing.
Terribly OK.
This beer has been terribly miscateogrised on BA. A bottom fermented black lager is as much an English Stout as sake. Total BS.

The beer pours a dark brown to black color with a tan head. The aroma is a mix of cocoa and roasted malt. Smells a bit like a stout and nothing like I expected. The flavor is also stout-like. I get a lot of chocolate and roasted malt, mixed with some light coffee and milky lactose notes. Overall, this reminds me a lot of a milk stout. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

334ml bottle poured into a 16oz pint glass.
A - Big, billowy mocha head off the pour. Dark brown-black with a lot of ruby highlights. Head settles nicely.
S - Dark, roasty malt and molasses with some brown sugar sweetness.
T - A lot of roasted malt creating a light bitterness in the aftertaste. A little thin to be honest. Still pretty strong on the molasses, but the brown sugar and dark chocolate sweetness backed off a lot. Fairly easy to drink, but nothing really exceptional here.
M - Pretty smooth, without a ton of carbonation. Body is surprisingly thin and feels a little watered down.
D - Lacks something in the flavor profile. I'm usually not a fan of really bitter flavors, but even this was a little tame for me. A nice drinkable stout, but nothing fantastic.

James Robinson's pass leads to a Montrezl Harrell alley-oop in USA Basketball's Under-19 win over Australia (VIDEO)
Jul 2, 2013, 11:04 PM EDT
USA Basketball Under-19 team moved to 5-0 with a lopsided 94-51 win over Australia in the 2013 FIBA World Championship on Tuesday Prague, Czech Republic. The U.S. forced 23 turnovers, leading to 26 points. The U.S. also used a high-paced offense to remain undefeated in tournament play — as seen in the video above. James Robinson corralled the rebound and launched a near full-court pass that led to an alley-oop for Montrezl Harrell.
Arizona-bound Aaron Gordon was one of five U.S. players to score in double figures with 15 points. High school senior, Justise Winslow had 10 points and 10 boards.
The U.S. plays 5-0 Serbia. The winner will be the No. 1 Group F seed for the medal round quarterfinals.

Sts. Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions
Sts. Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang, and Companions
Feastday: September 20
The evangelization of Korea began during the 17th century through a group of lay persons. A strong vital Christian community flourished there under lay leadership until missionaries arrived from the Paris Foreign Mission Society.
During the terrible persecutions that occurred in the 19th century (in 1839, 1866, and 1867), one hundred and three members of the Christian community gave their lives as martyrs. Outstanding among these witnesses to the faith were the first Korean priest and pastor, Andrew Kim Taegon, and the lay apostle, Paul Chong Hasang.
Among the other martyrs were a few bishops and priests, but for the most part lay people, men and women, married and unmarried, children, young people, and the elderly. All suffered greatly for the Faith and consecrated the rich beginnings of the Church of Korea with their blood as martyrs.
Pope John Paul II, during his trip to Korea, canonized these martyrs on May 6, 1984, and inserted their feast into the Calendar of the Universal Church.

St. Andrew Kim and companions were very courageous in their faith. This article gives a brief description of their lives. Sufficient to have some idea about the martyrs.

St. Andrew Kim Taegon and companions, as a Catholic of Asian descent, I'm truly proud to remember you today. I pay tribute to Blessed Pope John Paul, for honouring these martyrs who are so far away geographically, from Rome, meaning that our Church is truly universal. St. Andrew, pray for the pilgrim Church in all Asian countries, where subtle persecution, is experienced. In some countries, it is blatant, brutal and sadly, even violent. As the story says, the Church of Christ in Korea, as indeed all over the world, was founded on the blood of Martyrs. We love you and pray to you St. Andrew, help all the sick and suffering in Karachi (Pakistan) and nearby areas that have been affected by the recent floods. Give me the special assistance I need in organising some financial aid for them. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

G-d bless the martyrs in Korea and all who die for their love of G-d. We take so many things for granted in the USA. We can go to church to worship freely, but we don't. We can pray and say thank you Lord for all our graces and blessings, but we don't. We can love and help our neighbors who are sick, hungry, homeless and lonely, but we don't. Our purpose in life is to love and do G-d's will. When are we going to wake up and love G-d above everything else so we can have eternal life in heaven? Pray, love, obey and believe!
Pray, pray, pray because it is power.

LANDS' END EXPANDS INTERNATIONAL REACH: Lands' End has partnered with global e-commerce platform provider Borderfree to enhance its online shopping experience for international shoppers.
The new interface is geo-targeted based on the user's IP address, which defaults to the country where the user is located. That automatically sets the local pricing as if one was ordering from a local site. It also displays all fees, such as duty, tax and shipping, and includes it in the order total at checkout. Before, users saw amounts in U.S. dollars and had to manually configure all related costs.
Lands' End has been doing business in seven countries and has shipped to over 170 countries. The new platform can convert U.S. dollar amounts to more than 60 local currencies, thereby expanding the brand's presence to consumers in as many countries.

- " Tucked away just behing one of the main streets this little Hotel was a nice surprise. (Get your taxi driver to ring the hotel for directions) I was actually upgraded for free, which considering how cheap my room was in the first place was unexpected and delighted. The staff, especially Jilly, are extremely helpful, obliging and organised. Nothing is too hard. Safe, quiet, friendly, clean, spacious and in a great location just minutes from the city wall. I highly recommend this Canaan. A++ "

- " We've been two times in the Canaan, 3 nights in a new renovated room in the 15th floor, which was perfect. After a night in hua shan we came back with a new reservation via hostels.com but the staf wanted more moeney than we booked it for because of a public holiday! They can change the rates online, I hate the discussions at the reception after I booked something. In the second room the Internet didn't work plus there is no pool like in the description on this homepage. "

Dino Snores sleepovers at the Natural History Museum
With Christmas over and winter truly behaving like winter, kids have a tendency to become a bit 'fidgety' in January. This has to be the perfect solution! On January 15th 2011, the Natural History Museum is holding a Dino Snores event, the first ever of a series of sleepovers at the popular museum.
Dino Snores will allow kids to explore the Natural History Museum outside its normal opening hours and take part in many exciting and educational activities. In short, this fun dinosaur themed event may be just the ticket to lift children's spirits in mid-January.
London night activities have never been this much fun.
Luckily, the Dino Snore event is not exclusively for children. Adults who have a soft spot for our terrifying gigantic ancient ancestors, can accompany children on the sleepovers. The Dino Snores sleepover will consist of different, stimulating activities, including a torch lit tour of some of the museums most exciting and well-known galleries, including the department displaying the dinosaurs.
Gazing up at the monumental T-Rex will be made infinitely more thrilling when surrounded by shadows in the dead of night! Children will also have the chance to make a plastic dinosaur fossil to take home, as well as watching film screenings of these fascinating creatures.
For added authenticity and excitement, the Dino Snores sleepover takes place beneath the fossilized skeleton of Diplodocus in the Central Hall of the Museum. Breakfast and additional fun is served before the museum resumes its normal activities the following day.
The first of the Dino Snores series takes place on Saturday January 15th 2011 from 7.45pm to 9.30 am. Further Dino Snore sleepovers at the Natural History Museum are scheduled from February 18th to March 12th 2011. Tickets cost £46.00 per person for non-members of the museum. Groups must consist of a least five children with one accompanying adult.
If you are looking for fun activities for children in london, this is just perfect!

I'm gonna get mauled for this, but I usually run with 40ish hit, and the Expertise soft cap (23). I don't feel that I am having a huge problem with threat, either. And for tanking trash? Ya that's what shield block rating and SBV were made for.
Got a couple questions Ive been pondering.
1) For tanking trash in 25 mans is it more benificial to stack SBV and sacrafice some Expertise? In a short battle and possibly limited rage situation is SBV>Expertise?
2) Hit rating cap for warriors is 142 hit rating.
- How important is it to reach that cap?
- Wich would benifit more from a hit cap set, tanking Bosses or Trash?
3) If I am only able to reach 52 expertise rating wich is about 5-6 skill short of the parry hard cap, should I focus on other stats and just make sure I have enough for the dodge hard cap? Or should I keep that 52 at all costs for a boss fight and hope they dont exceed 52?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.

Playing a warrior tank well is its own reward.
1&2) You need less hit and expertise for trash.
Miss rates are 70/5.0%, 71/5.5%, 72/6.0%.
So far as we know, trash mobs have parry and dodge rates equal, and are 70/5.0%, 71/5.2%, 72/5.4%
For level 72 trash, then, you need 95 hit rating (6%) and 22 expertise (5.4%) to cap out. Wearing more than these is wasted. SBV is rarely better than hit or expertise. For bosses, wear the stats you need for the particular fight.
3) Wear the stats you need for the particular fight.
Some bosses can't parry gib you, so 50-whatever expertise is perhaps not as useful. Some fights are threat sensitive so you need to go all out on threat stats. Some fights, you need to focus on surviving first. Gear for the fight; there is no universal answer.
That brings me to another question is there a list somone has compiled of bosses that can parry gib?
Thanks for the responses so far.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
All bosses that can parry especially fast or hard hitting bosses can insta-gib you
oh, I wasn't aware of that - good thing someone corrected me then
Prince can do it too if I remember correctly - but most tanks with expertise to prevent it have enough EH to manage anyway.
Its the thrash skill he has that gibs you, not the parry mechanic there if I remember right, which is why you stack avoidance is possible for that fight.
I think I'm gonna shut up now :P All I know is I've seen tanks go down from 13k to death in a matter of seconds, kinda assumed it was a combination of crushes and parry-hastes. But reading up on him a combination of crushes, trash and a parry-haste is death unless you avoid some of the blows (which is why it is an avoidance fight, right?)
I really need to check myself but is lvl 72 the highest lvl for trash in a 25 man instance?
If so, then would it be fair to say the ideal Trash Set would have:
-95 hit rating
-22 expertise skill
-As much SBV as you can stack
Does that sound about right?

This seems good, stack SBV and other threat stats, such as strenght and agility.
22 expertise is expertise SKILL not expertise RATING, be careful. Expertise skill=expertise rating / 3.95 correct me if I'm wrong
1) Well opening with a Shield Slam favors BV for obvious reasons, although missing is annoying. In the end, I wear survival gear because wiping due to healers afking is alot more likely then wiping because of a DPS pulling aggro.
Not at all.
Neither. You would be sacrificing too many other stats to realistically hit the hit cap.
3)Never focus on one stat. Choose whatever option maximizes your goal. If your options are item A with 15 expertise rating and option B with 20 hit rating, choose option B.
The only time you should even think about a cap is when you are over a cap.
T5+ pve gear and recent badge loot have a lot of hit/expertise combined with survival stats, I found hitting dodge and hit cap (or getting close to that) in just about any of my tank gear set very easy. Even my Hydross res gear contains 20 expertise skill and ~80 hit rating.
Being draenei certainly helps with the hit cap, but it's pretty easy to reach 6-7% hit and expertise nowadays, without nerfing survival stats. No, it shouldn't be your first goal and it's not #1 priority on most bosses, but it's not hard.

I aboslutely LOVE this mascara! I had tried several others where after a little while it'd start irritating my eyes. Others would flake off and get into my contacts. Which is not the most comfortable thing in school all day. I'd tried almost all the drug store brands and had no luck. It never flakes into my contacts. The waterproof formula doesn't budge but when you go to remove it with makeup remover, comes off easily. A really good value for the price! I will definitely rebuy! see less

It is a time-honored tradition to make resolutions at this time of year. If your resolution is to lose weight - and keep it off, then keep reading! Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way. 1. Lose weight with water.Water is essential for everybody - it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.
By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant.2. Soup up your weight loss program.A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don't eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals.3. Eat early to keep weight off.The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m. 4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently.Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks. 5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet.Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don't last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function - not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources. Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat.
Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods.6. Walk off the weight.The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening.I hope this article helps you shed some pounds and add on the years! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me. May you live long, live strong, and live happy!-Dr. Mao

December 29, 2011
The U.S.-based curbside carrier has filed at least three challenges with the U.S. Surface Transportation Board since May 2010.
November 1, 2011
The association's response to the NTSB's curbside motorcoach safety report also cites the need for inspections of motorcoaches in facilities at their point of origin or destination.
The fatal accident rate for curbside carriers from January 2005 to March 2011 was 7 times that of conventional bus operations: 1.4 fatal accidents per 100 vehicles for curbside carriers compared with 0.2 fatal accidents per 100 vehicles for conventional scheduled carriers.
August 2, 2011
Researchers found that Megabus and other curbside operators are attracting more riders, primarily younger ones, drawn to the convenience of amenities such as onboard Wi-Fi. Acela ridership remains unaffected.

Transatlantic Aviation:
Effects of Easing Restrictions on U.S.-European Markets
GAO-04-835: Published: Jul 21, 2004. Publicly Released: Aug 20, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
Transatlantic airline operations between the United States and European Union (EU) nations are currently governed by bilateral agreements that are specific to the United States and each EU country. Since 1992, the United States has signed so-called "Open Skies" agreements with 15 of the 25 EU countries. A "nationality clause" in each agreement allows only those airlines designated by the signatory countries to participate in their transatlantic markets. In November 2002, the European Court of Justice ruled that existing Open Skies agreements were illegal under EU law, in part because their nationality clauses discriminated against airlines of other EU nations. The United States and the EU have been negotiating revisions to these agreements. Experts agree that removing the nationality clause is central to any new agreement. GAO was asked to report on (1) how prevalent Open Skies agreements are and what their effects on airlines and consumers are, (2) what the key ways that commercial aviation between the United States and the EU could be changed by the Court of Justice decision are, and (3) how the elimination of nationality clause restrictions might affect airlines and consumers. GAO's work included both analyzing data on transatlantic air service and evaluating information from and positions of industry officials, subject-matter experts, and stakeholder groups. GAO is making no recommendations.
Open Skies agreements have benefited airlines and consumers. Airlines benefited by being able to create integrated alliances with foreign airlines. Through such alliances, airlines connected their networks with that of their partner's (e.g., by code-sharing agreements), expanded the number of cities they could serve, and increased passenger traffic. Consumers benefited by being able to reach more destinations with this "on-line" service, and from additional competition and lower prices. GAO's analysis found that travelers have a choice of competitors in the majority of the combinations of U.S.-EU destinations (such as Kansas City-Berlin). The Court of Justice decision could alter commercial aviation in four key ways. First, it would essentially create one Open Skies agreement for the United States and EU, thereby extending U.S. airline access to markets that are now restricted under traditional bilateral agreements. Notably, more U.S. airlines would gain legal access to London's Heathrow airport, which is restricted by the U.S. agreement with the United Kingdom. Second, it would also allow EU airlines to operate into the United States from airports outside their own countries. Third, for EU airlines, a revised agreement could alleviate some obstacles to merging with other EU carriers or creating subsidiary operations in other countries. Finally, the possibility that EU airlines might move some operations into other EU nations raises concerns about which EU nations' regulatory and legal systems would govern. U.S. airlines and consumers are likely to benefit from the elimination of the nationality clause, but the benefits may not be realized in the near term. Both U.S. consumers and airlines would benefit from gaining access to markets restricted under bilateral agreements, especially London's Heathrow airport, though capacity considerations there are likely to postpone and limit such access. Consolidation within the EU aviation industry could occur, with the effect on U.S. consumers varying, depending on whether consolidation creates additional competition or reduces it in particular markets. EU airlines could begin new transatlantic service in countries other than the airline's own, which would provide consumers with additional competitive choices. However, those airlines would likely face difficulties in competing successfully at another airline's hub.

Is it time for Detroit Lions fans to pull out the paper bags again? (John T. Greilick / The Detroit News)
Why would I passionately cheer for a professional football team that hasn�t ever given me anything back? Good question.
Did I ever really have a choice to root for anyone but the Detroit Lions? I grew up in the �90s, and those Lions teams weren�t really that bad. In fact, they were quite competitive in that decade. In the 1991 season they went 12-4 and made it the NFC Championship game thanks to the greatest running back of all time, Barry Sanders. As a kid it was easy to root for Barry and the Lions. After every game my friends and I would go outside and try to emulate Barry�s ankle-breaking moves. But those good times didn�t last long, and most fan bases would laugh that we would even call them �good.�
Everybody knows what happened next. Barry unexpectedly retired, we had the Matt Millen era, and then finished 0-16 in 2008. Jim Schwartz gave us some temporary happiness during the 2011, 10-6 playoff season, but then won 11 games his next two seasons combined. He will probably be yet another coach who never gets another head coaching gig thanks to the damage he endured with the Honolulu Blue Leos.
Sadly, this is an addiction for me. I will never give up on this team. I have loved them from the start and could never love another team like I do the Lions. I keep telling myself all of this losing is only going to make winning sweeter. Am I an idiot for telling myself that? Do I even believe it? I have to.
In all of this losing there has been one constant, one staple, one name: William Clay Ford Sr. Ford Sr. has owned the Detroit Lions since 1963, and in all of those years has witnessed only one playoff win. His son, Bill Ford Jr., has recently taken more of a hands-on role, but unfortunately it hasn�t made much of a difference, outside of the Millen firing.
In the billionaire community, too often a professional sports franchise is just another trophy. When you are on top, it�s just something to have fun with, to play with, and to show off to friends. I guess you can compare it to what a puppy is to us 99 percenters. The Ford name is probably the most prominent name in the Detroit community, so it would almost be a crime if they didn�t represent one of our four professional teams.
Do I hate William Clay Ford Sr. and Jr.? Of course not. Do I wish they were obsessively involved with the team like Jerry Jones of the Cowboys? Of course not. I just want some sort of change. The Ford Motor Company is doing something right. They didn�t take the bailout and they have continually maintained profits for a while now. The Ford family put the right people in charge to make sure the Ford name is never tainted in regard to cars. I just wish they would do the same with football.
I am in my 30s now and can�t take another decade of losing. The children of today now have Calvin Johnson to emulate in their front yards, and I hope and pray he doesn�t retire out of frustration and break their hearts like Barry did to ours. I am not sure if Jim Caldwell will do anything to help, but I will wait and see.
I wait and see each year if anything will change. I wait and see if this team will someday place a large Band-Aid on a dying city. I�ve seen what winning can do when other Detroit teams have won, but none of them play football. Football is king.
I didn�t write this to tell you I am done with the Lions. I didn�t write this to tell you I will be rooting for another team in 2014.
I wrote this because I believe in the Ford family.
They know what it takes to be the best. It may sound like a cheesy, feel-good motivational speech, but it is the truth. Please get this right.
Carl Coffee, Woodhaven

Down with MNE-centric theories! Market entry and expansion as the bundling of MNE and local assets
Both Anderson and Gatignon and the Uppsala internationalization model see the initial mode of foreign market entry and subsequent modes of operation as unilaterally determined by multinational enterprises (MNEs) arbitraging control and risk and increasing their commitment as they gain experience in the target market. OLI and internalization models do recognize that foreign market entry requires the bundling of MNE and complementary local assets, which they call location or country-specific advantages, but implicitly assume that those assets are freely accessible to MNEs. In contrast to both of these MNE-centric views, I explicitly consider the transactional characteristics of complementary local assets and model foreign market entry as the optimal assignment of equity between their owners and MNEs. By looking at the relative efficiency of the different markets in which MNE and complementary local assets are traded, and at how these two categories of assets match, I am able to predict whether equity will be held by MNEs or by local firms, or shared between them, and whether MNEs will enter through greenfields, brownfields, or acquisitions. The bundling model I propose has interesting implications for the evolution of the MNE footprint in host countries, and for the reasons behind the emergence of Dragon MNEs.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)
