In Response to AARP Message Board feedback: I don't see a forum where we can discuss the operation of the AARP message board itself. Apparently only Editors can create threads in the "General Discussions About AARP Community"/"Frequently Asked Questions" forum. So since the AARP message board is social media, I'm putting the thread here. Anyway, the whole system for maintaining profiles for members of the message board is very strange. First off, members can't see their own public profiles while logged in; that is, there's no "info" tag displayed in one's own profile when logged in. In other words, if I want to see my own public profile, I have to log out first, then find one of my old messages and click on it, and then I can finally get access to an "info" tag and see my full public profile. It would be helpful to be able to see our profiles while still logged in, so that we can tell instantly how much info we're releasing to the public at any given time. Then more people might be willing to play around with their profiles and include more info. Second off, it's difficult to figure out where to add info for one's own public profile. You can input some info at the "Edit Account" page (via the "Your Online Profile" section). But that only lets you fill in a couple data fields, and the age info doesn't seem to make it into the profile. Meantime, you can input even more info by clicking on the "view your profile" link, mousing-over your avatar, and then clicking on "fill in your profile" link that magically appears when you do the mouse-over. That link allows you to fill in and customize lots of info. But how many people are going to stumble across that hidden link (the "fill in your profile" link)? Meantime, the "Complete your profile" link at the "View your profile" page just takes you back to the "Edit Account" page; that is, it basically does nothing. Again, very confusing. Another issue: I have difficulty refreshing and updating the pages of the message board in my browser (Safari). In order to see an updated page from the message board, I have to keep manually emptying my cache. That seems unusual, because I frequent other message boards and I don't have this problem. (The other boards are mostly vBulletin-style message boards.) I only seem to have this problem with AARP's message board. [Edit:] Also, it would be nice to be able to change our passwords once in a while in the interests of general Internet security. As far as I can tell, we can change our username but not our password at the "Edit Account" page. That's it for now. Just listing a couple minor glitches that I'm finding in my interactions with AARP's message board. Otherwise, the message board seems constructed well and provides opportunity for useful interactions among members. [Edit:] And I appreciate the work that Editors like BettyCM, LynneG, and AARPTeri are doing to stimulate conversation on the message board.

nsd624, have you tried sending them a CERTIFIED letter with a DELIVERY RECEIPT coming back to you as "proof" that you sent them a letter telling them you paid your bill already. I don't have an account with them, tried several times online and one minute it would show as being paid, the next minute it was gone. My bank as no idea what happened. And I no longer use personal checks and that was the only other option they gave me. I guess I could do a Cashiers check or money order, but so not into the long lines at the bank. My heart goes out to you and thanks for bringing this to my attention. It may take you going to the media to get AARP's attention. They are like all BIG corporations, big on billing folks but when you need something - no where to be found/lol

Inspired by vintage design, this diamond ring in 14k white gold features milgrained edges that frame delicate engraving set with micropavé round diamonds.
My fiance bought this as my wedding band. It has such a nice sparkle to it. My ring size is very small (size 5) so the detail on the ring is not as visible as it is in the pictures, but it's still very pretty. I love it!

i've chosen this carriage, and gave it a litle more detail,
the curly stuff in the middle with the litle door is supposed to be an animal cage in art nouveau style metal bars
Looking at your imaginative stuff compared to referenced pictures it looks like you need to study the basics of form. Don't neglect them as they'll you back in spades.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
Nice!! Keep at it!
so a friend of mine told me my previous carriage was dull...so this is the sideview of my final carriage
Those carriage designs are really interesting! I think I like the previous one more, but they both seem to have very different aims, and the new one certainly has a more unique silhouette. Good luck taking it to final! =D
As great as your carriage is, I would like for you to put more thought into perspective and form.

Last edited by Elias Leonard; February 28th, 2013 at 04:13 PM.
Great stuff Elias. I'm still seeing a minor lack in form in your work. Keep up the reference studies as they help you see and feel form. Imagine the object you are drawing piece by piece in 3-D space. Imagine how the light would hit it, wrapping around it revealing the form. Theres more to form that even i am still learning about but those factors jump out at me as the most important. Keep up the good work.

Nice sketchbook. There's such an improvement visible from even such a (relatively) short time ago as the first post. I especially love the self-conscious "#YOLO". I wish you hadn't apologised for that. I'm really enjoying the wine glass you did. I wouldn't worry about the 'cartooniness' though as it still looks very nice. Keep it up.
it's not finished yet, but i thought i'd upload it to make the progress visible

Wow, I skipped through the pages til now, and the improvement is awesome! At first your lines were too clean, but one could see your progress in every new picture!
That's very motivational for myself, as I'm trying to get into an art university myself and still got a lot of work to do! Keep up doing your stuff, I will drop by
Have a good day!

Creighton Barrels Into NCAAs After Edging Wichita State For Valley Double
As the Creighton Bluejays strolled off the floor at Saint Mary's McKeon Pavilion on BracketBusters Saturday, they were edging dangerously toward "Could we miss the NCAAs altogether??!" territory. That thought had seemed impossible a couple weeks earlier, but that defeat to the Gaels was Creighton's fourth in six games, they had dropped behind Wichita State in the Valley standings, and closer examination of their resume was finding it thinner than anyone in Omaha liked.
Five games later, the Bluejays are double champs in the Valley, first having swiped the league crown from the Shockers with a final-day head-to-head win at home, and then staving them off at the end of Sunday's title game to win 68-65.
The recovery, along with pair of title belts, will hopefully help Creighton get treated better in seeding than they were last year, when they were given a really surprising 8-seed and were taken out in the Round of 32 by 1-seed North Carolina. This is a better version of that team, and with seeding more in the 5- or 6-seed range, they have a chance to make the second weekend.
The positive takeaway from Sunday's win was Creighton won with a balanced attack on a day when Doug McDermott was far from his dominating best. Ethan Wragge came off the bench to pop five threes in just 16 minutes on the floor. I don't know that last season's team would have been gritty enough to win this kind of game in this kind of spot with such a pedestrian game from McDermott.
There's a continued word of caution, though. Creighton once again was hurt by a "scoring lead guard," with Wichita State's Malcolm Armstead going for 28 points (along with nine rebounds). The Bluejays have been hurt repeatedly by this type of player this season, so check their matchups in the bracket before you fully buy in.
That's a problem for the next time the Bluejays play, though, which is not for another 11 or 12 days. And as Creighton has proven this season, a lot can change in a short period of time.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Flesh-Eating Disease Victim Likely to Lose Hands and Remaining Foot
The 24-year-old Georgia woman who developed flesh-eating disease after a zip line injury will likely lose her hands and remaining foot, her family says.
Aimee Copeland suffered a gash in her left calf after falling from a zip line on May 1. She developed necrotizing fasciitis and her left leg was amputated at the hip three days after her accident, ABC News reported.
Despite the latest bad news, Copeland has shown signs of recovery and her family has remained optimistic.
"Aimee appears to have normal brain function at this time, which is something I'm celebrating because within Aimee we have a very compassionate heart and an incredible mind of intellect," her father Andy Copeland told ABC News.
The infection was caused by a common bacteria called Aeromonas hydrophila, which thrives in warm climates and fresh water.
Turtle-Linked Salmonella Has Sickened 124 People in 27 States: CDC
To date, 124 people in 27 states have been reported ill in salmonella outbreaks linked to small pet turtles, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in an update issued Friday.
Here are the number of ill people in each state: Alaska (2), Alabama (1), Arizona (3), California (21), Colorado (5), Delaware (3), Georgia (3), Illinois (1), Indiana (1), Kentucky (1), Massachusetts (3), Maryland (6), Michigan (2), Minnesota (1), Nevada (4), New Jersey (7), New Mexico (3), New York (24), North Carolina (1), Ohio (2), Oregon (1), Pennsylvania (9), South Carolina (3), Texas (12), Virginia (3), Vermont (1), and West Virginia (1).
There have been no deaths, but 19 people have been hospitalized. Children age 10 or younger account for 67 percent of the reported cases of illness, the CDC said.
Since the previous update on April 5, two new multistate salmonella outbreaks linked to small pet turtles have been identified, bring to five the total number of multistate outbreaks.
Investigators have determined that the outbreaks were caused by exposure to the turtles or their environments, such as water from their habitats. Seventy-five percent of patients reported being exposed to turtles prior to their illness, and 93 percent of those patients said they had been exposed to small turtles (those with a shell length of less than four inches).
Small turtles are a well-known source of salmonella infections in humans and the sale and distribution of these turtles as pets has been banned in the U.S. since 1975, the CDC said.
Blood Transfusions for Dialysis Patients Rose After Drug Payment Changes
There's been a large increase in the number of U.S. dialysis patients undergoing blood transfusions since Medicare changed how it pays for drugs to treat these patients.
Federal regulators believed the changes introduced last year would save money and protect patient health by correcting what was believed to be a misguided financial incentive for dialysis centers to overprescribe anti-anemia drugs to patients, The New York Times reported.
Before the changes, Medicare paid dialysis centers for anti-anemia drugs separately from the actual blood-cleansing treatments. This may have encouraged overuse of the drugs by patients, which leads to increased red blood counts that boost the risk of heart attack and stroke.
The payment system was changed to reimburse dialysis centers for overall care, bundling together the cost of blood-cleansing treatments and drugs. This meant that the drugs became a drain on profits instead of a profit generator for dialysis centers, The Times reported.
In the first nine months of 2011, the proportion of dialysis patients covered by Medicare who received blood transfusions increased by 9 to 22 percent over the first nine months of 2010, according to the United States Renal Data System.
For example, there were 10,041 transfusions for dialysis patients in September 2011, compared with 8,259 in September 2010, The Times reported.
Between 2009 and 2010, there was virtually no change in blood transfusion rates for dialysis patients.
The research was to be presented Friday at a National Kidney Foundation meeting.
Words in Larger Fonts Cause Stronger Reaction: Study
Words in larger fonts trigger a stronger emotional brain response than those in smaller fonts, according to a new study.
German researchers monitored brain activity in 25 volunteers as they looked at 72 different positive, neutral and negative words in a variety of font sizes, ABC News reported.
Positive (e.g. holiday) and negative (e.g. disease) words printed in larger fonts prompted a stronger emotional brain response than the same words in smaller fonts. The font size of neutral words, such as chair, did not cause the same type of response.
"Our study showed that the effects of emotional meaning are boosted when words are presented in large fonts. In other words, more attention is captured by larger emotional words, probably explaining the power of large fonts in tabloid headlines or catchwords," lead author Mareike Bayer, of Humboldt University in Berlin, told ABC News.
The study was published in the journal PLoS One.

John Hagelin on Tax Reform
2000 Natural Law Party Nominee for President
Follow @ontheissuesorg
Deep-but responsible-tax cuts
The most powerful fiscal action our government can take to stimulate the economy is to lower taxes. I will cut taxes deeply-and responsibly-without adding to the deficit or cutting essential services. Many presidential candidates have promised lower taxes, but they have been unable to fulfill their promises due to the cost and complexity of problems faced by government. Through my cost-effective solutions to crime, spiraling health costs, and other social problems, I can save the nation hundreds of billions of dollars annually. I also support the simplification and overhaul of our tax structure, thereby eliminating corporate welfare and special interest control of our convoluted tax code. On that basis, I can offer a realistic strategy for significant tax reduction that protects the integrity of our important social programs.
Source: www.Hagelin.org, �What Hagelin will do� , Apr 1, 2000
18% flat tax, falling to 10% by 2006
Hagelin supports the following statements regarding taxes:
Supports a flat tax or a national sales tax
Supports a 2/3 majority vote in Congress to raise taxes
Would cut taxes if there were an operating surplus
Hagelin saus he would �save money through scientifically proven solutions to costly social problems, thereby reducing the tax burden; implement a low flat tax beginning in 2001 at 18% and falling to 10% by 2006, with an exemption for America�s poor and lower-income families.�
Source: 2000 National Political Awareness Test , Jan 13, 2000
Supports flat tax or consumption tax over IRS
We can eliminate the IRS through a simple consumption tax or flat tax, so long as it�s fair and eliminates Congress�s continuing ability to provide special tax loopholes for their corporate sponsors. More important than the structure of taxation is that the amount of taxes goes down.
Source: Washington Journal, C-SPAN , Sep 5, 1999
Less taxes popular; less spending unpopular
Cutting taxes is very popular; cutting spending is very unpopular. If you�re going to cut it significantly, it typically means defense, Medicare, or Social Security.

New Product Announcements
Modern Machine Shop
Motoman's enhanced graphics simulator, MotoSim EG, is available with virtual robot controller (VRC) capability, which is said to provide accurate 3D simulation of robot cells. With VRC, the software operates and displays the actual programming pendant interface for the NX100 controller. The interface display is the same whether a programmer uses a teach pendant on the controller or uses the software on a PC. Steps used to accomplish actions in the virtual world of the simulator are identical to those used on the actual robot controller.
In addition, to optimize robot and equipment placement, the simulation software can perform collision detection, reach modeling and cycle calculations. It also provides accurate offline programming of complex systems, the company says. The VRC supports virtually all INFORM (robot language) programming instructions and features complete simulation of the controller software in the PC environment, including system configuration functions and condition file editing.
The software can simulate independent and coordinated motion functions as well as twin synchronous functions that enhance the interaction between the robots and external motion devices. It fully supports actuator-driven SIA-series and dual-arm SDA-series robots with as many as 15 axes of motion.
According to the company, the software increases the "real" robot experience while programming offline on a computer. Offline programming allows manufacturers to keep their actual robot systems running while programming new parts.

Cory Booker and Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Gearing Up For Kosher Jesus Party Tonight
We've been getting emails about Michel Jackson's favorite Jew, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, and his latest book, appropriately titled Kosher Jesus for the past several months. (We say "appropriate" only in relation to his last bestseller, Kosher Sex).
And today is the day of its official launch, which will be celebrated over at Trinity Wall Street (a church!) at 6:30 this evening, with the Rabbi sharing a stage with New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker, Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman, and Wall Street Journal Foreign Affairs Correspondent Bret Stephens.

Patti LuPone
Patti LuPone and Evita were the reasons I initially fell in love with the theatre when I was in sixth grade. I had never seen a musical like that (through-sung with dancing soldiers, movable beds and a torch-filled Act One finale) or heard anyone sing like LuPone (belting Cs, Ds, Es and the occasional F with power and ease). Naturally, after getting the Broadway cast recording of Evita, I started searching for LuPone's solo recordings and couldn't believe that this multitalented young artist didn't have one. I patiently waited for a solo disc… and waited and waited… And 13 years later I was rewarded with the two-CD set "Patti LuPone Live," which I have to admit was worth the wait. Not only did the live concert feature a second act that allowed the gifted actress a chance to explore her Tony and Olivier-winning career (completely thrilling versions of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," "Meadowlark," "As Long As He Needs Me," "I Dreamed a Dream" and more), but the first half was filled with many songs I had never heard LuPone wrap her textured, rangy voice around, including an exciting "I'm a Stranger Here Myself," a touching "It Never Was You," a rousing "I've Got the Sun in the Morning" and the sweetly moving "Dirty Hands! Dirty Face!" Perhaps my favorite track on the first disc is the inspired pairing of the haunting "Calling You" and the great pop hit "Get Here." Or maybe my favorite is the roof-raising "Come to the Supermarket in Old Peking"? Or maybe it's LuPone's sensational "Being Alive"? Truthfully, I can't decide – it's one of those rare recordings that is a complete joy from beginning to end.

Saad Shafqat : Wasim Akram: the gift that keeps on giving
News : Mohammad Akram named Pakistan bowling coach News : Shoaib keen on Pakistan bowling coach role News : Akram offers to coach young Pakistan fast bowlers Players/Officials:
Wasim Akram
The PCB has made a formal offer to Wasim Akram for a short-term coaching role for young fast bowlers. Akram, who hasn't refused the offer, has however, put forth his busy schedule and said the board will need to work around it.
"I am willing to coach because I would like to work with youngsters and train them," Akram said in Karachi on Sunday. "I have always said that I am available to work with young bowlers in Pakistan, but due to my busy schedule I can't do this full time. But whenever I am in Pakistan, I am available to coach and groom the youngsters."
"There is no dearth of talent in Pakistan, it only has to be scouted and groomed properly," he said.
The PCB, who is currently looking for a bowling coach, contacted Akram for his availability but nothing worked out. "PCB is always very keen to utilise his services and this is a positive gesture by him," a PCB spokesman said.
"The Board has established a contact with him but nothing has been worked out due to his availability. Though he has assured to find a window from his busy schedule in near future," the spokesman added.
Akram is presently in Australia as a commentator for the Under-19 World Cup and will be in South Africa during the Champions League with IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders.
"We will have to sit and chalk out training schedules corresponding with his availability ensuring there is no clash with his routine," the spokesman said, without divulging any details about the money. The spokesman, though, said that the PCB is ready to arrange the coaching sessions in Karachi, where Akram is based.
In the past Akram has turned down PCB's offers to coach, citing his professional commitments and offered his services as a part-time bowling coach. He last worked with Pakistan bowlers five years back in 2007 in a coaching camp conducted at the National Cricket Academy. Since then, he has also been involved with Knight Riders franchise as a bowling consultant.

Comments about Poop Patrol Jaw Scoop:
I can see how it could be a good product, but it either arrived broken, or broke the first time I used it. One of the pins on the jaws was missing so it won't open. I'm sure it would be an easy fix if I had time to bother with it, but I don't so I just threw it away.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Why Andrew Cull, founder of Remote Medical International, counts a rescue knife, a flashlight, and a bunch of chickens among his favorite things
Andrew Cull prefers simplicity over flash, buys as much as he can on Craigslist, and tries to keep his carbon footprint small. "I've never been much for trinkets," says Cull, founder of Remote Medical International (No. 147 on the Inc. 500), which provides medical training and equipment in hard-to-reach locales. And his tool kit stays the same whether he is sitting at his desk in Seattle, working at his part-time paramedic job, or training military personnel in Alaska. The chickens, however, stay at home.
"When you put a knife in your pocket, you find uses for it. I started carrying it in my paramedic job and used it to cut people out of their seat belts. But I've also used it to slice cheese and bread in Anchorage, open a box at a client site, and cut a string off my suit in Norway." COST: $127
"You can buy 10 cheap flashlights or invest in one great one. I used mine once when the power went out while I was in Argentina. I like the fact that it's really small." COST: $149
"I love to cook, but organic eggs are expensive, so we bought five chickens. My 2-year-old daughter's favorite game is to push them off our deck -- it's very low. But they follow her everywhere. She's queen of the chickens." COST: $3 each
"I would really like to ride this motorcycle down to Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of South America, or even around the world. But in the meantime, I would be happy just to get on the dirt roads up in the North Cascades." COST: $18,450

then why did we charge the japanese with war crimes for waterboarding after WWII in the Tokyo War Crimes Trial ?
More lies.
The Bush administration has agreed to apply the Geneva Conventions to all terrorism suspects in U.S. custody, bowing to the Supreme Court's recent rejection of policies that have imprisoned hundreds for years without trials. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...071100094.html

More lies.
As far as proof it took place...Is a confession by the Vice President enough ?
WASHINGTON - Dick Cheney, US vice-president, has endorsed the use of "water boarding" for terror suspects and confirmed that the controversial interrogation technique was used on Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the senior al-Qaeda operative now being held at Guantánamo Bay. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15433467
I'm not seeing a date there dumbass. Where is the proof that it occured after 2006? The man was captured in 2003. Show documentation that they waited 4 years to start interrogating him.
And for the record, Water Cure and Water Boarding are two differant things. The Japanese where convicted for using Water Cure, which forces the captive to consume large amounts of water in a short period of tiem, which leads to gastric distentation, water intoxication, and potentially death.
Listen dumb fuck, the use of waterboarding has never been legally outlawed by our country. It is still a legal means of interrogation. Bush AGREED to adhere to the concepts of the Geneva Convetion for the detainees after 2006. Anything that happened to the detainees prior to that cannot be prosecuted by such. Even though he agreed to it, Water Boarding is still recognized as usable by the United States, because it is not a recognized form of torture.
Your basis that the Japanese where convicted for the use of waterboarding is wrong, because they where convicted for the use of Water Cure, which I already explained is rather differant.
So wail and piss and moan all you want, your not proving a damn thing. Waterboarding has never been declared illegal by the United States Government, and as such is a legal means of interrogation. This may, and is likely to change in the future, but thats not now, or then. What happened is in the past has been legal, and despite the incessant whining of toads like you, has helped to keep your ungrateful ass safe from having more planes parked up it.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Last Thursday, we began debate on the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act. I hope that as we discussed last week, today we can proceed efficiently and report the bill to the Senate for prompt action. I appreciate the cooperation of all members in recognizing the impending deadline for action and the need to move forward. This week the President extended the thanks of a grateful Nation to our intelligence community and spoke about the progress we are making in disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda and other extremist networks that continue to plot against the United States and our allies. He talked about our renewed leadership around the world, and al Qaeda's lost operational capacities, as well as its lost credibility and legitimacy. In the words of President Obama, we are "drawing strength from the values that we hold dear" while we "redouble our efforts in the face of a threat that persists." He spoke, as I did last week, about the arrests in Denver and New York, and in Illinois and Texas. I arranged for the classified briefing that Republican Members had requested in addition to those briefings previously provided to the Ranking Republican's staff. I hope it was helpful, and will bring us closer to a shared understanding and a shared commitment to send to the Senate this bill. At our recent hearings, the Assistant Attorney General for National Security and the FBI Director told this Committee about the need for prompt action on tools they consider important to our counterterrorism efforts. I, again, thank Senator Kaufman and Senator Cardin, the Chairman of our Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee, who are original cosponsors of this measure. I thank Senator Feinstein, Senator Whitehouse and Senator Klobuchar for working with us and supporting the substitute amendment and joining as cosponsors. Senator Feinstein, the chair of the Select Committee on Intelligence, asked for the accommodations she thought were needed and I agreed. I thank her for her support and look forward to our moving forward together. As Senator Feinstein and I explained last week, our bill increases judicial and congressional oversight of the use of the Government powers that capture information on U.S. citizens. We have taken the administration up on its offer to work with us to "provide additional protection for the privacy of law abiding Americans" and have done so without undermining the operational effectiveness of the counterterrorism tools provided in the Patriot Act. On that last point, there can be no dispute following the classified briefing for Members yesterday. In our debate last week Senator Cardin and Senator Coburn were especially forceful in support of the use of sunsets as accountability measures that help us do our job on behalf of the American people. I agree. Director Mueller acknowledged the value of oversight, and has recently reiterated his support for "periodic outside review" of their utilization of these authorities. The Assistant Attorney General for National Security, David Kris, testified about the "interlocking methods" we can use to protect against abuses, including oversight by the Office of Inspector General and oversight by Congress, including this Committee, as effective checks. He noted how sunsets can "fuel" that oversight and compliance. House Majority Leader Armey and I knew that when we worked together to include sunsets in the Patriot Act. It brings us to this day in which we strengthen the Patriot Act through the course of another periodic outside review of how authorities can be improved and abuses prevented. Last week, those members of this Committee who have amendments to offer agreed to work with me to complete our consideration this morning so that the bill may be reported to the Senate without delay. I appreciate the cooperation of all members. Those amendments that Senators feel need to be offered today should be down to a handful. Debate on each need not be extended. I will continue to work with Senators on issues of interest to them but strongly urge that amendments seeking to add contentious issues to the bill not be proposed. I will work with Senator Cardin and Senator Kyl, the chairman and ranking Republican on the Terrorism Subcommittee, to provide opportunities to work on such complex and time consuming issues as redefining the crime of providing "material support." With that matter currently pending before the United States Supreme Court, we should proceed carefully. We run the added risk that a hasty amendment will have the effect of undercutting current prosecutions. |

Northwestern broke into the end zone for the first time with 1:47 remaining in the game, but more than 500 yards of offense and five field goals was enough to push the Wildcats past the Boston College Eagles, 22-13, on Saturday afternoon at Ryan Field in Evanston, IL.
Chase Rettig played well for the Eagles (1-2), completing 24-of-44 passes for 290 yards and one touchdown, a 31-yard strike to Jonathan Coleman with 1:38 left in the second quarter. Alex Amidon had 117 receiving yards and Coleman finished with 81 yards for BC. The Eagles' rushing attack was kept in check, as Rolandan Finch, Tahj Kimble, Andre Williams and Rettig combined for 24 rushing yards on 21 carries. Boston College was in the game until the closing minutes prior to a 27-yard touchdown rush from Mike Trumpy.
Kain Colter passed for 145 yards on 16-of-19 passes and Trevor Siemian had 123 yards through the air for Northwestern (3-0). Trumpy rushed for 100 yards and Venric Mark had 81 yards on the ground. Demetrius Field had nine catches for 77 yards. Jeff Budzien was 5-for-5 in the kicking game, accounting for 15 points, with a long field goal of 42 yards.
Boston College now enters its bye week, but will return home to host Clemson on Sept. 29.

Product Summary:
Durango Mens Workin Rebel Brown Camo BootsThe upper of the Workin' Rebel by Durango Western was constructed with a combination of full-grain leather and a Mossy Oak Break-Up® Infinity™ camouflage print. The leather is incredibly hardy and its distressed-looking nicotine hue makes this boot look very masculine; the camo on the shaft reflects that you are proud country boy that appreciates nature. Within this men's Western, there is a cushioned footbed. By adding in this insole, your feet will be comforted and have a constant exposure to air because it is ventilated. Once it begins to wear down and you want to add in more cushioning, this footbed is removable. Goodyear welt construction ensures that this square-toe boot has great durability and strength. It also allows this 11" pull-on boot to be repaired easily once it begins to wear down; instead of constantly having to purchase new boots, you can keep wearing these comfortable and durable Durango boots. The arches of your feet will be supported and you will have steady footing, because a tempered steel shank has been built into this men's footwear. On the bottom, the Workin' Rebel outsole offers great oil resistance and is non-marking, so you won't have to worry about leaving scuff marks all over the floor.Product Features:

for the Vibram Five Fingers Women's Bikila LS
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 26 reviews)
Bad Ass Mo Fo
Sort of Experienced
Probably Shouldn't Listen to Me
I've worn these in DC for the day, worn them to the gym and the mall...I've pretty much worn them everywhere (often for extended periods of time), and my feet never get tired or sore in these shoes! The only thing I would say is if you're wanting these for trails and hiking, try a different model that's a little more substantial. Other than that, these are amazing...especially if you're a beginner with Vibram. Buuuuyyyy themmmmmm!
I am 66 yrs old and if I run something is chasing me. I bought my first pair of Five Fingers on recommendation of a friend. I read the reviews and the instructions on the website. I was having problems walking in regular shoes, if the ground was uneven I couldn't feel the difference and tripped a lot. Hey at my age a twisted ankle is bad news. Once I got used to the Bikilas feel on the ground I noticed I wasn't having a bit of trouble walking.Some days I make jokes about walking like a duck, because I can spread my toes out to feel the terrain. I own three pair of Five Fingers now and only wear something else when I have to, like when riding my motorcycle.
The Bilila LS shoes by Vibram Five Fingers are the best shoes I have ever used, I will never return back to what people consider "normal" shoes (what is normal anyways). They are great for running, walking, conversation starters, you recover faster from workouts with these shoes than with the. I'm ready to order more Five Finger shoes to expand my collection.
I have been a big fan of Vibram Five Fingers--this is the fourth model I've purchased and it is by far my favorite. The first generation (sprints, classics, kso) left empty pockets around my heel, leading to hot spots and blisters. These are harder to get my feet into, but once I do, they fit like a GLOVE. My husband has the corresponding men's model and we will both definitely repurchase this model once ours give out on us.
I've worn several models of FiveFingers shoes for 2 years. No problems.The FiveFingers website (& many commentators) make it clear that one needs to go down a size in these. I went down a size, as directed & I loosened the laces as much as I could. But: the instep is much too tight. I could get them on one foot, but after 2 sessions of 15+ minutes in which I could NOT get my toes aligned, & could not maneuver successfully (even despite the laces), I gave up. The instep is tight, & the laces don't really let you maneuver that much. Maybe these would work for people who don't have much of an instep, or have very narrow feet. But that's not how they were promoted.
They're actually not that hard to get on (unlike the ones that were too small and I had to Cinderella them on) and while they're warm they aren't all sweaty or anything. I really like the blue ones pictured and if I'd have seen those I would have gotten them. Mine are black, gray and yellow which is okay but they're kind of matchy-matchy with the husband which was so totally not on purpose but silly looking anyway. I wear them for everyday use and for recreational running. The only bad thing I have to say about them is that I can't go out while wearing them without someone stopping me to comment or ask me questions :)
I've run in these once but ran in KSOs. I have high arches & had little trouble & no pain adjusting to the BikilaLS. The fit guide worked, though toe width is snug & I can't wear toe socks.Unlike KSOs, I wore these around the house to get my toes used to being separated: It had been a year since I'd worn VFF. After that, no problem getting the shoes on. Soles of the Bikilas are thicker, but all I noticed when running was the ground (not my shoes).W/ the thicker soles, I look forward to easy hikes & wearing them in town. I like the laces better than band around the back that my KSOs have, in terms of care (I removed the band before washing: won't have to do that with laces) & appearance.
I get so much attention everything from how does it fit etc. I should really be a spokesperson I Love this shoe so much I want one in several different colors as well as a pair for my kids,the only negative is they tend to funk up the room so you gotta wash them spray ect. don't take them off if your on a date I guarantee he will leave but perhaps it won't matter if you want to get rid of him anyway I recommend this shoe very comfortable!
I tried on several styles of Vibram Fivefingers at a retail store, and definitely found these to be the most comfortable - especially with the lacing instead of the velcro strap. These are AWESOME for running, but they do require about a month of easy-going running to build up those calf muscles! I would highly recommend trying on this type of shoe at a store, then buying them from Moosejaw!
I just started running in my new Bikilas, and I never got the pain that most avid Vibram users note in their reviews. Maybe I already had good running habits. I do have asthma, so I don't usually last very long running full speed. I took my dog for a 5-mile run today, and by the end I had to stop because I wore her out so badly! She is a Border Collie/German Shephard mix who should be able to outrun me any day of the week. The only reason I dock these shoes a point is because I also have a pair of KSOs, and they are so much more breathable that I'd rather wear them, even though these are specifically made for running. I love them either way though.
I love, love, love Vibrams. This is my second pair after I had to finally retire my first pair( after four long years of use) I will NEVER go back to traditional running shoes. Yes, they do take a while to get used to, yes they do feel awkward at first, but after the first week or so it's the most comfortable shoes you'll ever wear. I have bad knees and can't run in traditional shoes anymore, but with the five fingers my knees do not bother me at all. Make sure you get sized at a store as the vibrams fit differently (European sizes) and try on several models to see which you prefer, but Moosejaw is the place to order from!
This is a fantastic shoe for someone who is looking to wear them casually, with some outdoors activity. I am actually a guy and I bought these because none of the men's Vibrams came in my size in a style that I liked and I figure they're pretty unisex anyway, so I got the black and grey ones and they are very stylish. I cant tell you how much Im enjoying these shoes, I wore them to go hiking/swimming at the river the other day and they stayed tight and comfortable the entire time. My only complaint is that they took several days to break in and in those days my feet hurt pretty bad. All in all I would recommend these in a heart beat.

Writer's workshop geared toward homeless
By Kyle Norris
Would-be writers can take part in a workshop this weekend. Groundcover News is hosting the event Saturday, March 26 from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Groundcover is a monthly paper in Washtenaw County that focuses on poverty and homelessness and many of its writers are struggling with those issues.
The workshop is geared toward people who have written for the paper, but anyone can attend.
Freelance writer Vickie Elmer is teaching the class. She says the idea is to have more voices, telling more compelling stories.
The workshop happens at the First Baptist Church in Ann Arbor. Cost is $20, but admission is free if participants promise to write two future articles for the paper.
More information at: email@example.com or 734-972-0926.

Posted: 9:07 p.m. Thursday, June 27, 2013
By Jamie Dupree
Congress is heading home for a July Fourth break with a step forward for a major immigration bill, the real threat of higher interest rates on some student loans, and a bevy of unfinished legislative items that will greet lawmakers upon their return to Washington, D.C.
The biggest action in the month of June came on Thursday afternoon, as the Senate voted 68-32 to approve a sweeping immigration reform bill. 14 Republicans broke ranks to back the plan, which now goes to the U.S. House.
As for what happens next in the House, Speaker John Boehner still wasn't showing his hand to reporters.
"I think we're going to wait to see what our constituents say next week," Boehner told reporters, referring to the week off for the House and Senate which will likely include some town halls back home.
"We'll make some decisions about how we go forward," Boehner said.
Realistically, there isn't much time - even though the month of June isn't even over.
"It's got to be done between now and the end of the year," said Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), who went straight from the Senate immigration vote to the Speaker's office for talks on immigration reform details.
"Six months goes by in a hurry in D.C.," Chambliss rightly observed.
In fact, the next few months will go by very quickly, as after a break week, lawmakers will have four work weeks until the first Friday in August, and then be off until the week after Labor Day.
If you look at the House schedule, there are only 16 legislative work days on the calendar between now and September 9 - that makes it easy to envision an immigration bill slipping into September.
As for the final Senate version of immigration reform, it's now available for your reading pleasure, weighing in at 1198 pages - so here's your homework assignment during the July Fourth Recess (maybe you can take it to the pool and use it to avoid speaking to that bothersome neighbor of yours.)
While progress was made on immigration reform, the Senate - or more accurately, Senate Democrats - could not strike a deal on student loan interest rates, some of which are set to double effective July 1.
Demonstrating the divide among Democrats yesterday was that there were dueling news conferences involving different factions of the party on the best solution; Republicans meanwhile sat on the sidelines and kept reminding reporters that the House passed its bill back in May.
That plan had some similarities to a White House plan on how to deal with subsidized Stafford loans, as the President only spoke out on the issue one time in the last month, as opposed to last year when he hammered the GOP over the issue.
"We've been working very, very hard," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), one of the Democrats who has resisted the GOP plan. "It's been a very frustrating situation."
Stabenow told reporters that votes might be held on July 10 in the Senate on the student loan interest rate issue.
On the budget front, the House and Senate remain well behind in their work on appropriations bills for next year; those spending measures are supposed to be done by October 1, but Congress hasn't met the deadline of the new fiscal year since 1994.
And they won't hit that deadline again this year, either.
As of now, the House has only approved two spending bills for 2014; the Senate has not pushed one bill to the floor.
More importantly, the divide between the two sides when it comes to the bottom line of those twelve budget bills is even more important - House Republicans would spend $967 billion on the discretionary budget (everything outside of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.)
Senate Democrats meanwhile have a plan that assumes the sequester is wiped away with tax increases that the GOP will not support, as the Democratic budget plan would spend $1.058 trillion - that's a difference of $91 billion.
Sooner or later, some deal will have to be struck on spending, probably in a stop gap budget plan that will have to be approved in September.
Oh, and don't forget that at some point, lawmakers have to deal with the debt ceiling.
That issue played a big role in the budget gridlock that has stopped work on the non-binding budget resolution, as Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked Democratic efforts to start House-Senate negotiations on that budget blueprint.
Remember - this is the document that Republicans ripped Senate Democrats about - charging that Democrats hadn't passed a budget in four years.
But when Democrats did move a budget resolution this year, Republicans weren't interested in trying to bridge the differences between the spending plans of the House and Senate.
(It is also a reminder that House and Senate leaders should ignore the concerns of their lawmakers on this non-binding issue; one reason the Democrats didn't vote on a budget resolution in recent years was the fear that Republicans would drown them in "message" votes which might hurt in the elections. Does anyone remember any of the votes from back in March in the Senate on the budget resolution? Other than maybe one vote on the medical device tax, that answer is most likely "No.")
When lawmakers return in July, the House will have to try again to pass a Farm Bill; there was talk on Thursday that maybe the bill would be split in two in an effort to move it forward. Speaker Boehner did not tip his hand on what he might try.
So as you check your own summer calendar, think about how much time off you would have from work if you only had to work four of the next ten weeks.
That's the schedule that Congress has.
So, don't be surprised if you read another blog post from me on Friday August 2, which says the Congress is going home for an extended summer break with a lot of unfinished business still on the agenda.

U.S. Economy Shows Signs of Stronger Growth this WeekMarch 4 Numerous reports this week pointed to an improving U.S. jobs market and a possible acceleration of the national economic recovery. The economy created 192,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in February while the unemployment rate fell slightly to 8.9%, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported today. The job gains occurred in manufacturing, construction, professional and business services, health care, and transportation & warehousing. During the same period, government jobs fell 30,000, which means the private sector picked up more jobs than is immediately apparent from the overall numbers. There were a revised 63,000 jobs created in January and 152,000 created in December, according to BLS reports. Government jobs declined 5,000 in January. In addition, initial jobless claims fell some 20,000 for the week of February 26, said the U.S. Department of Labor. It was the third week in the last four that initial claims were under 400,000, a further indication of an easing labor situation. Continuing claims are also moving lower, according the Labor Department report. Earlier in the week, the ADP Employment Report, which includes only private sector jobs and is based on records from Automatic Data Processing, Inc., estimated that private payrolls rose 217,000 in February. These jobs are in addition to some 189,000 new private jobs created in January, according to ADP. The Monster Employment Index of online job recruitment also rose sharply in February. The Index, based on analysis of online job demand, rose 7 points to 129 last month. The Index had dipped in January from earlier highs through much of last year. The annual growth rate is now 4%, according to Monster Worldwide. All 28 metro markets included in the report experienced positive growth in February. "Sustained expansionary trends in private sector hiring coupled with growing consumer confidence have led to positive year-over-year growth in the Index" said Jesse Harriott, senior vice president and chief knowledge officer at Monster Worldwide. "Although Index growth has eased since the early summer peak of 2010 due in part to a decline in public sector activity, it has been positive year-over-year since February 2010 as employers continue to maintain a measured approach to growth."

Haden was 18 and a senior in high school when I shot this. He strokes and shoots a nice load. Sorry for the annoying camera sounds....I had a friend taking pics while I filmed and didn't realize his shutter made so much noise. Haden also has vids listed with his girl and another jerking with his best friend Caden.

The Slick of '76: Looking Back and Forward
Jun 29, 2006 — This summer marks the 30th anniversary of the "Slick of '76", a 300,000 gallon oil spill in the heart of the Thousand Islands. Thick, gooey crude coated the shoreline from Alexandria Bay to Massena. The accident remains one of the largest inland oil spills in the United States. Many river residents still remember where they were on June 23, 1976. The event re-shaped the way a generation views its relationship to the river and the giant freighters that ply its waters. David Sommerstein reports.
