I'm Ready For My Interview, Phil Emery
1/12/13 in NFL | Fishchick17 | 36 respect
OK, OK, so maybe I am not really qualified at all-but is that really stopping him? The guy has already interviewed 9 candidates that we know of, with 4 still on the list to be interviewed and another 6 or 7 that could possibly get in on the action. Then he's going to have a second round of interviews, and then? It will be July and Emery will be meeting with the final candidates in Bourbannais.
I had confidence in Emery. After his quick dismissal of Lovie, and his clear and concise concepts of what Emery was looking for in a Bears head coach, I was excited. REally excited. I was thinking, how great to have a GM in Chicago with a clear vision of the direction he wants this team to go. Key pieces are in place, but without a coach that can turn this team into an offensive force, we will just see more seasons like the last few. So I was psyched.
Then, without batting an eye, Andy Reid gets hired, the Bills hire their new coach and Cleveland just signs their new coach. And the Bears are continuing their world tour of interviewing across the league. This cannot be making other teams happy. And, now the Bears will have to make more coaches angry by turning down more candidates.
Wasn't Phil Emery hired as GM because he knew so many people across the NFL? If he knows all these candidates so well, and has a vision for what he wants in a Bears coach, what the heck is going on? Why is he interviewing every possible candidate? Shouldn't he know what he wants?
I get that he wants to dot all of his "i's" and cross all of his "t's", and cover all his bases, but this is ridiculous. I thought the Bears were down being the joke of the NFL. With all of Jerry Angelo's horrendous draft picks over the years, for this coaching search to go on like it is, makes no sense whatsoever.
Stop the madness Phil Emery! Pick someone. Get on with it. There is a draft to worry about, and an offensive line to replace and decisions about Urlacher and many others. There is a football team to put together, so just decide. You know what you want. find your man and lets get this show on the road. No time to waste. Unless you're on the phone calling me now...then it all makes sense.

The 2012 reds are off to a stellar start
The 2012 season could not have been more normal, with every step of the viticultural annual growth cycle occurring within a few days of Washington's long-term average. A welcome respite after three years of headaches.
Special to The Seattle Times
AFTER THREE challenging harvests, the relatively easy 2012 season was welcomed by Washington's weary grape growers and winemakers.
While you will see primarily 2009, 2010 and 2011 wines in winery tasting rooms and on retailer shelves these days, a few wineries already have moved through those vintages and are into their 2012s.
The 2012 season could not have been more normal, with every step of the viticultural annual growth cycle occurring within a few days of Washington's long-term average. This was a welcome respite after three years of headaches.
They started in 2009, when a normal growing season ended abruptly with a hard frost on Oct. 10 that halted all growth across the Columbia Valley. About half the grapes had been harvested by that point, and growers scrambled to bring the rest in during the next 10 days to avoid having fruit rot on the vine.
Spring 2010 started slowly, and the vines never did catch up, with harvest starting 10 days late. It was a struggle to bring in grapes at full maturity. And then just before Thanksgiving, a deep freeze caused widespread damage to vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills.
That freeze left the 2011 vintage short because it takes a year for vines to recover. On top of that, 2011 was even cooler than 2010 (which many winemakers didn't think was possible). Harvest didn't start until even later that fall.
So 2012's normal weather made harvest and subsequent winemaking relatively easy, and we're just now getting a glimpse of the results. If these early wines are any indication (and the grapes for these three wines came from three different areas), then the 2012 reds you'll see being released over the next two to three years should be stellar.
Barrister Winery 2012 malbec, Walla Walla Valley, $28: This Spokane winery has been crafting some of Washington's best reds for a decade, and now it's exploring malbec, one of the hottest red grapes in the state. This is a gorgeous wine with notes of dark chocolate, black olive and ripe dark plum.
Columbia Crest 2012 H3 cabernet sauvignon, Horse Heaven Hills, $14: The affordable H3 tier from Columbia Crest focuses on fruit from the Horse Heaven Hills, a huge area overlooking the Columbia River and northern Oregon. This luscious cab tastes like it should be twice the price, thanks to complex notes of oak, sage, blackberry and a dusting of cocoa.
Milbrandt Vineyards 2012 Traditions cabernet sauvignon, Columbia Valley, $15: Former Chateau Ste. Michelle red winemaker Josh Maloney now heads up one of Washington's hottest brands. This is crazy good for $15, with stunning notes of wild strawberry, ripe raspberry and black licorice, all backed with bright acidity and modest tannins. Enjoy with grilled meats or spaghetti and meatballs.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - For the fourth time in four games, the Miami Heat have changed their starting lineup against the Indiana Pacers.
Mixing and matching with All-Star forward Chris Bosh out with an abdominal strain, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra started center Ronny Turiaf and forward Shane Battier in Sunday's Game 4 up front with LeBron James. Dwyane Wade, hoping to bounce back from the worst playoff game of his career, is in the backcourt with Mario Chalmers.
Turiaf is making his second start of the series, and Battier is starting his second game in a row.
In Game 3, Spoelstra started seldom-used center Dexter Pittman, who missed two shots and played just three minutes.
Spoelstra has had to juggle his lineup to make up for the loss of Bosh, who is not expected to return in this series.

The Government Administration and Elections Committee met Monday to hear arguments from elected officials and electoral law advocates on a bill that would elect the President of the United States by national popular vote.
The national popular vote law has already been enacted by 10 other jurisdictions, including neighboring states Massachusetts, Vermont and Rhode Island.
Democratic Representative James Albis opened testimony to address the controversial bill\'s bottom line. \"Presidential candidates do not face a national electorate, instead a handful of voters in just eight states,\" Albis said of the current electoral college system.
\"Fundamentally this bill is about equality,\" he said.
Democratic Senator Gary LeBeau supported much of Albis\' sentiment, saying that the electoral college perpetuates a system of favoritism that simply values voters in swing states over lesser competitive states. Albis claimed that in the 2012 election, 4 in 5 Americans were essentially ignored by the presidential candidates as both Romney and Obama only paid campaign visits to 10 of the states.
\"Based on the belief that every vote should matter in a presidential election, our current system is broken. Americans are being ignored – any of us that do not live in battleground states should understand this. Especially those of us living in Connecticut,\" Albis said.
Democratic Representative Brandon McGee, representing Windsor and Hartford, said a National Popular Vote would work to equalize the franchise for minority voters. Currently, McGee pointed out, the electoral college disadvantages African Americans and other minority groups as most elections are determined by a handful of affluent suburbs in several swing states.
\"Look at the counties that are most contentious in the states that are most important. We are talking about roughly 8 counties.\" McGee said. \"Only 7.5 of the total votes from those counties come from minority voters.\"
Representative Brian Becker, a Democrat from West Hartford, opposed the popular vote bill, claiming he still does not see how such legislation will truly impact the state and make a difference in Connecticut.
\"As it stands, Connecticut actually has more weight than others in the electoral college,\" Becker said, referencing what he called strong national political attention the state receives. \"If we switch to a national popular vote, Presidential candidates will just spend time in states with the largest populations – those states aren\'t Connecticut.\"
During the hearing, Governor Malloy and Lt. Governor Wyman released a statement in full support of enacting the popular vote law in Connecticut.

Hull College 'a shining beacon', says England's top inspector (video)
Posted: February 23, 2013|
By Katie Knass
HULL College has been praised as an outstanding example by England's chief inspector of schools.
In a visit to Hull, Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw said the college was a shining beacon.
He said the college, which is rated outstanding by his watchdog, was an example to others and he and his advisors are looking at how they can use the college to benefit others.
But, on his first visit to the city, he warned schools in the city have to up their game.

Hull school falls into special measures
He said: "The college has certainly impressed me.
"It is my third visit to a college and it was a heart-warming experience.
"It is an outstanding college. It certainly was when we last inspected it and I can see the reason why.
"I have spoken to the students and the staff and all of them have said how much they enjoy working here, being here and learning here.
"Aspirations are high, expectations are high and students are achieving very, very well."
Sir Michael has been critical of schools in Hull on a number of occasions and reiterated his concerns during his visit to the city.
He said the excellence of college provision now needed transferring down. He said: "Hull is doing well in terms of its post-16 college provision.
"What needs to happen now is that excellence needs to transfer down to schools.
"We want to see more schools in Hull doing as well as this college is doing. And that's something Ofsted will be looking at closely over the next few months."
Sir Michael said he will now take what he has seen at Hull College and use it as an example to others.
He said: "We are worried about students in quite a lot of colleges in the country.
"This is a shining beacon of good practice and one of the issues we have just discussed is how we can disseminate that good practice to other institutions."
Sir Michael spent four hours at the college, talking to staff and students. He toured the construction centre and also Hull's Studio School. He ate lunch of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding prepared by students in the college's restaurant.
Gary Warke, the college's new chief executive, said: "He wanted to see what it was that was unique about Hull College.
"His background is in schools and he came here to understand us.
"He spoke to students and they were fantastic. He has been able to sample the college restaurant and see the breadth of our provision."

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Correspondent
Cutting-edge computer technology is allowing Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) to have braces designed for patients with spinal and lower limb injuries that are custom fit to the individual's body.
"Our company is the first in the area to use
Rodin 4D laser scanning technology to change the way we measure and fit orthotic braces for all kinds of injuries," says Michael Azarian, a certified orthotist who along with Jesse Anderson staff the National Orthotics and Prosthetics Company (NOPCO) onsite clinic located in the Outpatient Orthopedics Clinic at BIDMC.
"These are proven and safe laser scanners that
result in more accurate measurement of the affected body parts and faster service with more convenience to the patient," he says. "Prior to this technology, we were required to cast the patient or use measurement tapes to obtain the needed information. Now, we get an accurate electronic image to send to our fabrication facility and a
more intimate fit that helps the injury heal better."
plastic braces are fabricated and delivered back to BIDMC usually within 24 hours by NOPCO's parent Company, Boston Brace International, which makes thermoplastic spinal braces and orthotic bracing products for prevention, rehabilitation and correction of a variety of injuries.
"We pass the hand held laser scanner over the spine or lower extremities, and it collects a 3-D image of the body. From that, we can modify the scan on our computer to ensure the brace that will be made from the image produces the desired effect on the body part," Azarian explains.
scanner is portable so it can be used in the emergency department, the patient's room, the operating room or a doctor's office.
Casts and braces are used in the treatment of injuries such as broken and fractured bones. They keep muscles, bones and tendons from moving and creating further injury. There are several different types of casts and braces, made from different types of materials such as plastic and foam.
Most fractures are able to be placed in conventional casts or prefabricated braces.
Braces are generally more convenient as they can be
taken off for hygiene and then put right back on again.
Casting is handled by BIDMC orthopedic technicians located in the same area of the hospital.

"We all have our own little Rebeccas."
She rarely attends CoderDojo now, but tutor after tutor referenced nine-year-old Rebecca. CoderDojo's founder, Rebecca Garcia explained who the eponymous girl was and what she represented. Little Rebecca came to CoderDojo having never heard of computer science. She became engrossed in learning to code, and her parents were thrilled because she struggled with severe ADHD. One day she turned to big Rebecca and asked, "Can you do this for a living?"
Over time, little Rebecca stopped attending CoderDojo sessions. "We called her parents and asked what was wrong," Rebecca Garcia said. "They would say that this weekend Rebecca was at a science fair, or one time she was at Space Camp." All this from a little girl who had never heard of computer science less than a year ago. Rebecca Garcia says this is the success of CoderDojo; it's not about building a famous app, it's about inspiring kids to dive into science and learning.
You can support ambitious kids like nine-year-old Rebecca by making a donation, and encouraging others to help out too on Twitter or Facebook.

I should start by saying the food is delicious here. The guys in the kitchen really know what they are doing. The wait staff, however, is terrible. There is one waitress who has dark hair who literally gets under my skin every time I am there. First of all, she is constantly on her phone or talking to people who appear to be the owners - great managerial skills guys. It takes forever to get her attention. Sorry, but when I am ata restaurant, I shouldn't have to get up to get a waitresses attention. Second of all, she got my order wrong once and when I said "I'm sorry but this isn't what I ordered" she said "Yes it was" and gave me a huge attitude. I've actually stopped going there and have informed others not to go there because of her.
Posted by Jeremiah Bishop on 03/20/2013
Thought this place was incredible. Food was off the hook and about ten times better than Mezcals or Chevy's or one of those other assembly line places. Everything was fresh, hand made. Home made chips and salsa. This is my new spot. Don't go anywhere else for Mexican food.
Posted by Jeff on 02/27/2013
The food was "ok" but I've had better. I prefer Mezcal's which is one block up, even though they are a bit more expensive. The place was pretty empty and the atmosphere was lacking, the music was more annoying, like something you would hear in a club not a sit down restaurant like they are trying to be. I probably won't be back.

October 30, 2014
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Warsaw residents are voting on whether to dismiss the mayor, a member of Poland's ruling party who had been accused by the opposition of a series of costly mistakes.
The referendum on Sunday was called by a member of the nationalist Law and Justice party at a time when opinion polls show it has more support than the ruling Civic Platform.
The ouster of Mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz a year before her term expires would be a blow to Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-market government.
The opposition blames Gronkiewicz-Waltz for recent hikes in transport prices, botched reform of garbage collection and neglecting residents' needs.
A participation rate of at least 29 percent of Warsaw's 1.3 million eligible voters is required to make the vote valid. Turnout is expected to be low.

I worked at Ebix full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
One of the pros of working with Ebix is that there are some truly talented employees. Unfortunately, most of them are with the company through acquisitions Ebix makes and they end up leaving once they realize that working for Ebix means that there is no longer room for career growth, raises, etc.Cons
Executives and people in leadership roles are incapable of making decisions or presenting a clear direction for the company- much less all of the divisions and products that fall under Ebix. The company is constantly making acquisitions but never spends money on R&D, proper staffing, or Marketing. This leads to a lot of frustration internally and an extremely high turnover rate. Also, the office culture in Sandy Springs is terrible. Employees are forced to 'sign in' and 'sign out' like Kindergarteners and management is more focused on whether you are sitting at your desk (god forbid you go to lunch or the bathroom!) than they are about whether you are getting work done and meeting/exceeding your goals.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Nurture the talent that you have instead of constantly hiring from the outside. Hire better leadership. Have better communication with employees regarding the status of the company, earnings, new products rolling out, etc. Everyone is always in the dark unless a press release is issued. Spend money on R&D & hire more people for product development. The current product offering across the board is stagnant and needs a refresh. Hire more people in Marketing & a VP of Marketing to lead them. There are literally 3 people working in Marketing which makes absolutely NO sense for a company the size of Ebix.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I actually forgot my own birthday until my mom had to remind me. I'm that consumed by schoolwork.
The only real time I had to enjoy my birthday yesterday was at 1:00 in the morning while doing physics HW with Rohaine. We celebrated with hot Milo (in my favorite Disney mug!) and cupcakes.
Thanks to Ali, Chris, Kevin, Seana, Sarena, and Buike who showed up at my door to sing me happy birthday…a good distraction to my Carbons HW.
My chemistry teacher invited the class over to his house for dinner yesterday! It was really fun because it was a great family dinner I hadn't had in a while! :D The food was delicious not simply because of taste, but because of the energy and love that went into it. I also had kumquats for the first time—and realized that you're supposed to eat the kumquat with the skin!
My professor's kids were simply wild! His three year old girl would not stop climbing all over me and tugging at my hair, haha!
I have always felt that the spring semester feels the busiest—my classmates start going to sports competitions, harder classes build up on the fall semester, and big projects are due. I feel like warmer weather tends to increase everyone's energy…though that was meant to be more metaphorical. It has been FREEZING these past couple days, and I had to bike in the rain to so many classes.
But in any case, spring season means that the Kogakuin exchange students come over in February again. Remember Sunao, Mika, and Yuki? The class of students a year under them are coming over for the same program they did. I'm going to be pretty excited to meet them at the end of February and get to know them through March.
So why do I talk about March in particular? Last year's March was an emotionally-laden time period. I had a lot of great things happen to me, but many of those great things ended up going down hill a few months down the road. I think it feels weird living another year—it's like I'm rewriting my history with everyday that passes, and I often find myself thinking, "What did I do last year on this day?" It's not too good to think about the past, though, so I'm really trying to let everything go.
Well, technically a "New Year" has started (Chinese New Year, represent), so I hope everything gets better again. I had a couple slips over the weekend, but now that I think of it, that was before the New Year, so I can still make it up :)
Anyways, the purpose of this post was to share what my Kogakuin Exchange employer wrote me in an email:
"They are going to be living in the DoubleTree again, but hopefully not living it up quite as much as last year."
HAHA. I remember -those- memories. Last year's GLR seniors were a crazy, sweet bunch who decided throwing an "International Relations" party would be the best idea to bond with the exchange students. I will not go into the details of what happened, but I can tell you that I was the only sober person in the room that night.
I also remember Kenny saying to me before my bittersweet spring break last year:
We end up hurting each other no matter what we do. There are certain things we do that just hurt people.
Soooooooo, yea. I just wanted to lay some thoughts out on the table and get them off my chest.
I really try my best not to hate on anybody because hate just hurts.
Besides, the Buddha did say, "You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger."
But I'm not going to lie—what really pisses me off sometimes is the elitist attitude of certain engineering major classmates. I can almost swear that some walk or speak with a swagger that clearly states, "I'm an engineer. Therefore, I am more badass than you. Any criticism you say about the engineering core classes or professors don't count
(no matter how true it is) because engineering is better than your major and your major's professors anyways."
Here's to you jerks who say Biology sucks: Without medical advances that have large foundations in the principles of biology and chemistry, you'd probably be dead or deathly ill by now.
Go swallow a screwdriver for all I care. Don't ask me to find a surgeon for you.
…speaks Chinese
…likes to travel
…likes taking landscape photography
…seems to be a patient guy
…respects Biology because he does research in biological signals
This is going to be a great semester. :)
LOVE this! It's so professional looking. Just looking at it instantly makes me motivated to get some work done…either that or spend record time on Tumblr…
Need a professional look for your dorm? Check out our store at www.thegoodlifeoncampus.com.
What do you guys think?
I would totally do this….if my dorm room were large enough. ;__;
I went to a student recital today, and the nickname of that concert for me is "Inspiration." I remember that concert and realize that some of the things I'm sad or worried about just isn't worth it. (項項, that means you.)
My friend Olivia plays in a quartet this semester. As much as she denies it, she is such a boss at managing so many things. Track and field, cello quartet, school work—and she's good at keeping her calm. I just find her to be so…healthy.
I like to call her epic time management skills the "Olivia W Phenomenon", or OWP for short.
And check out that black cello!! Say what!?
Awesome job at the recital, everybody!

Bryan Safi, as regular readers will know, is the creator and host of Infomania's "That's Gay," a smart, comedic take on issues that affect the LGBT community. In addition to being a writer and performer for Infomania, the show responsible for bringing us the comedy gold of Sarah Haskins and Erin Gibson, Safi also performs at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles and blogs at the Huffington Post.
We here at Feministing are so grateful for Safi's ability to shine a funny light on important issues, taking on everything from Don't Ask, Don't Tell to why we see women quite a few straight women making out on TV, but very few lesbians. I personally loved his analysis of media coverage of American figure skater Johnny Weir, and particularly his observation that many commentators were incapable of even calling Weir an "athlete" presumably because they were uncomfortable with his ambiguous sexuality and willingness to play with gender.
Safi did a "That's Gay" half-hour show last month, and for those of you out on the West Coast, he'll be performing a "That's Gay" live show called State of the (Super Gay) Union this week at the Out and Loud festival in San Francisco. Details and tickets are available here.
And now, without further ado, the Feministing Five with Bryan Safi.
Chloe Angyal: How did you get started in comedy, and how did you come to focus specifically on the portrayal of gays and lesbians?
Bryan Safi: I come from Texas. My family is Texan so many generations back, so they're all very conservative and crazy in a lovely way. But I think I recognized from a young age how nuts they were, so I used to imitate my mom and my grandmother in line at the bank or in line at the grocery store getting really frustrated, and that would make them laugh and I liked that. So it started like that. I went to college for acting and any serious thing I did was a joke; I got laughs from people when I didn't mean to. But I got really involved here when I started working on the No on Prop 8 campaign, and I started paying more attention to stuff to how the media was pushing out representations of gays and lesbians – scripted , unscripted, everything. At Current, I was watching that show The Millionaire Matchmaker, which is this really trashy show on Bravo, and I noticed how she kept saying, "the gay," or, "I love the gay," and "are you a bottom or a top?" She was being so inappropriate, and I just felt like this was everywhere, and it was.
CA: Who are your favorite fictional heroines, and who are your heroines in real life?
BS: I love Margo Channing in All About Eve, for sure. I love Ellen Olenska in The Age of Innocence. Because everyone who has shaped me in my life – my mother, my grandmother, my great aunt – are women who dress up and who, in a way, really wear the pants in the family. Most of the women in Texas do.
From a young age my favorite heroine ever was Courtney Love. I just love her. She really brought out something in me from a young age. She has this humorous anger, and I think she knows what she's doing and she's really hilarious. Courtney Love and Dolly Parton were my favorite people growing up. My parents and grandparents listened to Dolly Parton when I was growing up, and she has this larger-than-life, extreme femininity, but she's also very powerful, and I always loved that about her. The joke that no one heard, she was the one making it.
CA: What recent news story made you want to scream?
BS: I touched on this in a recent episode, actually: Focus on the Family kind of a crazy organization, but there's still this idea that gay men and women infiltrating schools with an agenda and teaching kids about anal sex at the age of three. That makes me really angry. And the ones that are always there, of course, are "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and marriage equality.
CA: What, in your opinion, is the greatest challenge facing feminism today?
BS: I think it's that it's still considered a bad word, and in a different way than it used to. The women in my family are feminists, but they would never identify as feminists, and they would also probably never vote for a woman. It's really strange to me and I don't fully understand it, but I think there's a weird stigma that if you're a feminist then you're also a left-wing nut. We're just gotten to a place where you're one or the other – you're with us or against us. And there's no wiggle room left in any definition: You're a Democrat and people think this, you're a Republican and people think this. You're from the East Coast you do this; you're from the West Coast, you're… you know, a hippie. We're in an era of one or another and there's no wiggle room at all. And I think that feminism connotes something that women are afraid of and that men don't like.
CA: You're going to a desert island, and you're allowed to take one food, one drink and one feminist. What do you pick?
BS: An old-fashioned, tabouli and Bjork. Because every day, I'd be entertained and irritated.

DHS Releases Fact Sheet on 2007 Budget Request
Department seeks increase of 6 percent in budget, a focus on emergency preparedness and disaster planning
- The request includes $135 million to expand the current Employment Verification pilot program to support a national electronic employment authorization verification system requirement. The current basic pilot program is a voluntary electronic authorization program enabling an employer to confirm the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.
- The request includes a total of $112 million in fee and discretionary resources within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to accelerate a comprehensive business transformation that will reform existing business processes, including the modernization of critically needed information technology and actions to sustain improvements achieved in reducing the immigration processing backlog.
Enhance maritime and transportation security, with more efficient and secure systems.
- A total of $4.7 billion is requested to support aviation security efforts. Of this amount, $692 million will support the deployment and maintenance of Explosive Detection and Electronic Trace Detection Systems, which provide a higher probability to detect a wide range of explosives.
- A request for $30.3 million to fund the Cargo Advanced Automated Radiography Systems (CAARS) development initiative. The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office will execute a program developing advanced active-imaging radiography systems for cargo inspection at the nation's ports of entry. The CAARS program will significantly improve imaging systems designed to identify concealed nuclear materials. It will eliminate the need for operator interpretation of radiographic images, and reduce overall inspection time of five minutes to approximately thirty seconds.
- Funding of $157 million for the Radiation Portal Monitor Acquisition initiative will secure next-generation passive detection portals for deployment at ports-of-entry to expose nuclear explosive devices, fissile material, or radiological material concealed in cargo or conveyances. Consistent with the global nuclear detection architecture, the deployment strategy will be mutually developed by the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
- A total request of $934.4 million for the Coast Guard's Integrated Deepwater System (IDS) is $10.7 million above previous fiscal year funding. This request will continue to support the following IDS acquisitions: the fourth national security cutter replacement, the High Endurance Cutter; the first Fast Response Cutter patrol boat replacement; additional Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA); and the establishment of a second MPA-equipped air station. It will also complete the re-engineering of the HH-65 helicopter and significantly enhance legacy fixed and rotary wing aircraft capabilities. IDS Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance upgrades to the USCG cutters, boats and aircraft will enhance maritime domain awareness and are critical to the achievement of an integrated, interoperable border and port security system.
Enhance information sharing with our partners. Â
- An increase of $36.3 million for information security and infrastructure to support the IT Infrastructure Transformation Program (ITP). ITP integrates the IT infrastructures of the 22 components of the department into "One Infrastructure,†which includes the creation of one secure network; the establishment of common and reliable e-mail communication; the restructuring of helpdesks and related services; the reduction in number and transformation of data centers; the standardization and modernization of the desktop workstation and site services environment; and voice, video and wireless infrastructure modernization.

After the Memphis Tigers (23-9, 12-6 AAC) suffered an early outing in the AAC Men's Basketball Tournament, the Tigers' mindset was focusing on their seeding in the NCAA Tournament. After watching the committee decide their fate, Memphis name was called but who will they play?
No. 8 Memphis will play No. 9 George Washington of the Atlantic-10 (24-8,11-5 A-10) on Friday. This comes as no surprise to many fans as they were expecting somewhere in between a eighth or ninth seed. If Memphis can get past GW, then they could possibly run into ACC regular season and conference champion Virginia Cavaliers (27-6, 16-2 AAC).
This is Memphis fourth consecutive year going dancing but they haven't faired well in the tournament. In 2011, Memphis lost to the Arizona Wildcats. In 2012, Memphis suffered a loss to Saint Louis. Last season, Memphis was able to get over the hill and got their first win under coach Josh Pastner with a last second win over Saint Mary's (54-52). In the next round, Memphis got embarrassed by the Michigan State Spartans.
Pastner very was upbeat when he was asked where his team could possibly be seeded.
"I still think we could be a six. I think the committee is going to weigh our conference strength very highly."
Going into the tournament, Memphis is 1-3 under Pastner.
I received the quote from a source from the Commercial Appeal.

This charge applies to each Vantage account separately. It is tiered within bands: 0.45% per annum on the first £250,000 of funds; 0.25% for funds between £250,000 and £1m; 0.1% for funds between £1m and £2m, and no charge on the value of funds over £2m.

The £5.95 dealing rate in the Junior SIPP is achieved via a cash rebate at the end of the month, offsetting the difference between the dealing rate that was applied and £5.95.

How we collect fees
We make it as easy as possible by collecting fees automatically from your account.
Charges will first be collected from cash in your SIPP. The "Suggested Minimum Cash Balance" gives you an idea of how much you should hold to meet future fees. It is just a suggestion and you can ignore it if you wish.
If you have no cash in your SIPP, we will collect fees from loyalty bonuses received on units purchased before 1 April 2014, and then from any cash in your Vantage Fund & Share Account.
As a final resort, we will sell holdings in your SIPP to cover the amount owed and restore the minimum cash balance. There will be a small charge of £1.50 per deal. We will normally sell units of the largest fund holding first. If, for whatever reason, we are unable to sell units of the largest fund holding, we will sell units in the next largest fund holding, and if you don't hold funds, we may sell part of other holdings.
To avoid having investments automatically sold, you can easily top up the cash balance of your SIPP with your debit card (subject to the pension allowances) or add money to a Vantage Fund & Share Account.
Government taxes and levies (per deal)
|UK Stamp duty
|0.5% on purchases of UK shares (rounded up to the nearest £5 for residual shares)
(Panel on Takeovers & Mergers)
|£1 on UK share deals over £10,000
When buying overseas-listed investments, additional charges may apply in that country.
Fixed Rate Cash Offers
We regularly offer our clients fixed-rate deals. You can earn a competitive interest rate on the cash in your SIPP, provided you leave the money in cash for three or six months. To find out about future offers, please register your interest.
Standard variable interest
If you want to have some cash in your SIPP ready to invest, you can earn tax-free interest at our variable rate. The higher the cash balance, the higher the interest you earn.
Base rate since 05/03/2009: 0.5%. All rates are variable unless stated otherwise.
|Account Balance
|Gross % for this tier only†
|Net % for this tier only†
|AER % for this tier only†
|£50,000 +
|£7,000 - £49,999.99
|£1,000 - £6,999.99
|£0 - £999.99
† Note: Interest is tiered within bands so you will currently receive 0% on the first £999.99, 0.05% (gross) on the amount above £1,000 and below £49,999.99 and 0.10% on balances above £50,000. These tiered rates should not be directly compared to the AER, gross or net interest rates of accounts which are not tiered or have a different tier structure.
If you hold cash balances in more than one Vantage account (i.e. a Vantage Stocks & Shares NISA and a Vantage Fund & Share Account) these will be considered separately when calculating the tiered interest. Interest is not paid on balances held within your income or Loyalty Bonus account.
|Annuity quotation:
|No charge
|Annuity purchase:
|No transfer-out charge if purchased via Hargreaves Lansdown, otherwise £150 + VAT. Annuity purchase will generate a commission or fee payment to Hargreaves Lansdown, which will be shown on your annuity quotation.

Important information
The above fees exclude the cost of any advice you may require. If you require advice, you would agree this cost separately with an adviser.
If you have more than one SIPP account (for example, an account from which you have not taken an income and an account in drawdown), any charges applied to those accounts will be treated separately.
98.3% of clients would recommend the Vantage SIPP to friends and family*
*HL survey: 303 respondents, August 2013
Important information
A SIPP is a type of pension for people happy to make their own investment decisions. Investments go down in value as well as up so you could get back less than you invest. The rules mentioned are those currently applying and could change in the future. You can normally only access the money from age 55. Tax reliefs depend on your circumstances. This website is not personal advice, if you are unsure an investment is right for you, please seek advice.

Senate OKs postal amendments to limit conference spending, stave off closures
In a marathon series of votes Tuesday, the Senate considered more than a dozen amendments to a postal reform bill, approving a provision to limit all federal agencies' spending on conferences, but voting down an amendment expanding the federal workers' compensation program. Lawmakers also rejected an amendment that would have required retirement-eligible USPS employees to retire without a buyout payment. The Senate will resume voting on amendments Wednesday at 2 p.m. before voting on a final version of the 21st Century Postal Service Act.

(Min 3 characters)
Wallingford priory acquired land in Standlake before 1247, when it
was apparently let to the four owners of
Standlake manor. (fn. 86) In 1528, following the priory's suppression, unspecified lands or rents in
Standlake passed to Thomas Wolsey, archbishop of York, who gave them to Cardinal
College, Oxford; (fn. 87) the college's successor, Christ
Church, seems, however, to have had no interest
in Standlake before acquiring separate estates
there in the 17th century. (fn. 88) Meadows by the
Thames granted in the late 12th century to
Eynsham abbey by Anketil and John de Grey
were retained as part of the abbey's Shifford
manor until the Dissolution. (fn. 89)
An estate centred on Standlake Manor, a house
on the south side of High Street so called from
c. 1860, (fn. 90) was built up from the later Middle
Ages by the Cornewell or Cornwall family and
by their successors the Yates, following the
marriage before 1487 of Margaret, daughter and
heir of John Cornwall (fl. 1480), to Edmund Yate
(d. c. 1516) of Charney Bassett in Longworth
(then Berks.). Edmund Yate's estate, not all of
it derived from the Cornwalls, descended to
John (d. 1545), Robert (d. 1554), James (d.
1608), and Francis Yate (fl. 1613); (fn. 91) he or another Francis sold it in 1647 to Richard Hyde
(d. 1665), gentleman, from whom it passed to
William Hyde (d. 1717) and his relict Mary (d.
1733), to their son Richard (d. 1741), and to
Richard's relict Elizabeth and son Richard. (fn. 92)
Most Yates and some Hydes seem to have
resided, (fn. 93) though the resident Mary Hyde let the
estate and may have occupied a different house. (fn. 94)
Ownership passed to the non-resident Newmans
before 1785 and c. 1792 to the Tomkinses of
Abingdon, who let the house and land to farmers. (fn. 95) In 1860 executors of William Tomkins's
son-in-law G. W. Anstie sold it with 228 a. as
the 'Manor House and farm', and it remained a
farmhouse until 1896 when most of the land was
sold. (fn. 96) Quitrents to Standlake manor remained
due in 1860. (fn. 97)
The house's timber-framed main range,
aligned along the street, is of the 15th century,
and was built perhaps by John Cornwall. (fn. 98)
Though of three bays in the 20th century it
formerly extended further west, the surviving
end bay having apparently formed part of a
larger hall which was open to the roof. The roof
itself has intermediate curved scissor trusses
similar to those at the rectory house, and its
western bay, above the former open hall, is
wind-braced. An evidently re-used ceiling, to
which a badge with part of the Yate family
arms (fn. 99) was nailed, was inserted into the hall in
the later 16th century or early 17th; about the
same time a stack was built into the north-west
corner of the surviving central bay, the rest of
which became a cross passage, and a twostoreyed porch was added against the northern
doorway. The overmantel of the ground-floor
fireplace to the former hall is also re-used and is
decorated with quatrefoils enclosing heraldic
shields of arms, among them the Tudor rose and
crown and other, unidentified, devices. (fn. 1) On the
first floor, the two eastern bays appear to have
formed one large room. The gable created by
the removal of the western end of the hall was
long exposed to the weather before a rubblebuilt wing was added in front of it in the earlier
19th century; timber framing on the street frontage, presumably rendered by 1860 when the
house was said to be of brick and tile, was
exposed and restored in the mid 20th century. (fn. 2)
A freehold centred on Gaunt House was built
up apparently from the later 15th century by the
Gaunt family and their descendants the
Walwyns. Spurious claims in the late 16th century and early 17th that the estate was a manor
were successfully challenged by Magdalen
College, which asserted that Gaunt House was
a cottage held of Standlake manor for quitrent
and suit of court. Though quitrents were owed
for lands then attached to the estate there seems,
however, to have been no rent payable explicitly
for the house. (fn. 3) The earliest known owner was
John Gaunt, who in 1461 held a different house
and half yardland of the Corbets' manor, (fn. 4) and
whose wife Joan (d. 1465/6) was commemorated
by a brass formerly in Standlake church; (fn. 5) the
surname was not recorded in Standlake earlier,
and may indicate Flemish origin. (fn. 6) The name
Tirletts Court, recorded, as an alternative for
Gaunt House, from the 16th century, (fn. 7) may refer
to an earlier owner.
From John (d. c. 1473) the estate passed to his
son Simon (d. c. 1506), (fn. 8) perhaps to Simon's
relict Alice, (fn. 9) and to his son George (d. s.p. c.
1516) and daughter Ann. Ann married George
Walwyn and in 1544 settled it on their son
Edward Walwyn. (fn. 10) He sold some of the land (fn. 11)
and settled the rest c. 1580 on his son George
(d. 1609), whose relict Mary (d. 1626) was in
1623 leasing it to George's son and heir Edward. (fn. 12)
Edward's brother John (d. 1628) left it to his
sister Dorothy Gascoigne with reversion to her
son Stephen Gascoigne, (fn. 13) who sold it in 1638,
including lands in Standlake, Northmoor, and
Shifford, to Samuel Fell (d. 1649), dean of Christ
Church, Oxford; (fn. 14) from him it passed to his
relict Margaret and son John (d. 1686), later
bishop of Oxford, who left it to Christ Church
to found a bursary for poor students. (fn. 15) Small
additions were made in 1715 and 1889, when the
Standlake part of Christ Church's estate totalled
67 a. (fn. 16) From the mid 17th century the estate was
let to local farmers, notably the Marchants and
their descendants the Burfords and Gileses; (fn. 17)
Christ Church sold it in 1955. (fn. 18)
The surviving house, (fn. 19) within a large L-shaped
moat, is of coursed limestone rubble, and comprises a central hall range with cross-passage
doorways at its eastern end, and two cross wings.
That plan, together with the survival of a main
post from a timber-framed wall at the house's
north-west corner and of a section of timberframed wall in the west wing, suggests an early,
probably late-medieval origin, and the hall
fireplace, located on the northern, outside wall,
may be a later addition. Replacement, in stages,
of timber walling by stone appears to have been
substantially complete by the early 17th century,
the date of several doorways and of windows and
plasterwork in the west, parlour, wing; since
both Ann Walwyn and her son Edward leased
the house (fn. 20) those features may reflect remodelling by George Walwyn, resident from c. 1580,
or his successors. (fn. 21) During the Civil War the
house was garrisoned and besieged, (fn. 22) but though
musket loops were cut in the main door there is
no evidence of major damage or rebuilding, and
in 1649 and 1654 the Fells reserved for their
occasional use the hall and parlour, both with
chambers over, the kitchen, and a stable. (fn. 23) Some
minor work may have been carried out c. 1669, (fn. 24)
and the causeway crossing the moat to the main
door is dated 1718, but the house seems to have
undergone no further structural alteration.
There were two restorations in the later 20th
century. (fn. 25)
A freehold of 2¼ yardlands centred on the later
Lincoln Farm was sold in 1545 by William
Tyrling (d. 1546) to Humphrey Bostocke of
Abingdon (then Berks.), draper, who leased it to
Tyrling for life and in 1548 sold it to Robert
Radborne (d. 1557). (fn. 26) Radborne's son Robert, a
London stationer, sold it in 1567 to Lincoln
College, Oxford, with scattered cottages and
tenements formerly part of Standlake manor,
and other small freeholds acquired since the
1540s. (fn. 27) Quitrents to Magdalen College for the
former manor lands were compounded for in
1905, (fn. 28) and in 1918 the entire estate, c. 110 a.
after inclosure, (fn. 29) was sold piecemeal to tenants. (fn. 30)
Lincoln Farm, formerly Tyrlings, (fn. 31) includes a
late medieval hall range parallel to Standlake
High Street and a western cross wing, and is
two-storeyed throughout. The hall, which has a
smoke-blackened roof, was formerly timberframed, but much of the framing has been
replaced by rubble walls. A stack was inserted
in front of the present cross passage presumably
c. 1564, when the lessee was to build a chimney,
flue, and freestone mantel in the 'hall house'
partly at the owner's expense; there was then a
chamber over the parlour, and by 1582 there was
a storage chamber over the hall, (fn. 32) though the
existing beamed ceiling is of early 17th-century
character. The cross wing, also rubble-walled,
includes a two-light window of the later 16th
century and has an added chimney gable on its
west side; traces of ochre paintwork survived
on its roof timbers in 1970. (fn. 33) Rooms in 1582
included a buttery and milkhouse evidently beyond
the cross passage, storage within a timber
pentice at the rear, an apparently free-standing
kitchen, and agricultural buildings around a
'court'; most windows were glazed, though one,
in the chamber over the parlour, had shutters
only, and the parlour had been recently
refitted. (fn. 34) The house's east end, beyond the cross
passage, was rebuilt in the 17th century. Both
Tyrling and the Radbornes apparently occupied
the house, (fn. 35) but from 1564 the estate was let to
prominent farmers and others, among them
Walter Bayley (d. 1592), the queen's physician,
who presumably sublet it, Nicholas Dixon (d.
1627), a local man and servant to the earl of
Salisbury, who resided, and relatives of the
minister Nicholas Shorter (fl. 1650). (fn. 36) The house
continued as a farmhouse following the college's
sale to its tenant in 1918, but was later separated
from the estate. (fn. 37)
A small estate in Brighthampton and Standlake
passed from John Fettiplace (d. 1510) of
Charney Bassett (then Berks.) to his son Philip, (fn. 38)
who in 1524 sold it to Simon Starkey, bursar of
Brasenose College, Oxford. In 1529 Starkey
conveyed it to John Elton or Baker who granted
it to Brasenose, and in 1624 the college acquired
an additional tenement in Cokethorpe. (fn. 39) The
estate, let to tenant farmers and totalling c. 76 a.
after inclosure, (fn. 40) was sold in two parcels in 1911
and 1918. (fn. 41)
Land and cottages belonging to a chantry in
Standlake church passed on its suppression to
the Crown, which in 1590 sold the estate, much
decayed in 1569, to its lessee Walter Bayley. (fn. 42)
Bayley's son William sold some parts piecemeal, (fn. 43) and the rest was absorbed into his manor
of Northmoor. (fn. 44)
