In the line of various MBA entrance exams, SNAP is also one of the popular exams among MBA aspirants. The test is conducted in 30 cities all over India.
Until last year a candidate used to register for SNAP Test & then register with the institutes offering his choice of program by paying separate institution registration fees. If shortlisted, he would then attend the Group Exercise & Personal Interaction (GE&PI) process conducted by each of these institutes. But this year Symbiosis International University has revamped admission process by introducing single registration and single PI-WAT for admission to all its constituent B-schools for academic session 2014-16. The last date to register for the test is November 22, 2013. The test will be conducted on December 15, 2013 and the results will be out on January 09, 2014. The proposed date for the final merit list for all the programmes of the institute is February 28, 2014.
Talking to MBAUniverse.com about the changes in the admission process Dr. Vidya Yeravdekar, Vice Chancellor, Symbiosis International University, said that, "We have brought the complete admission process under one umbrella from this year. The process has been completely revamped. A simplified, streamlined process which is candidate friendly, convenient, advantageous and economical to a candidate has been brought in for the coming Academic session."

SNAP 2013 Exam pattern
Since 2007, candidates aspiring to join MBA programs offered by constituent units of Symbiosis International University have had to take the common, mandatory Symbiosis National Aptitude (SNAP) Test. Until last year a candidate used to register for SNAP Test & then register with the institutes offering his choice of program by paying separate institution registration fees. If shortlisted, he would then attend the Group Exercise & Personal Interaction (GE&PI) process conducted by each of these institutes
Symbiosis International University has revamped their SNAP 2013 Exam pattern and have brought the complete admission process under one umbrella to make it convenient, advantageous and economical to a candidate for the Academic Year 2014-15. Symbiosis International University will conduct the complete process centrally under its aegis.
The salient features of the SNAP 2013 Exam pattern and application process are as following:
• Single registration process for all MBA programs at all institutes of SIU.
• Reduced registration fees for multiple programs.
• Single Personal Interaction and Writing Ability Test (PI-WAT) process for all MBA programs, at multiple locations (Pune, NOIDA and Bengaluru campuses of SIU)
• SNAP Test Score + Academic Profile Score will form the basis for short listing candidates for Personal Interaction and Writing Ability Test (PI-WAT).
• Academic Profile Score will be computed on the basis of weights assigned to academic performance in 10th Std.,12th Std. and Graduation.
• Group Exercise (GE) process has been eliminated.
As per the eligibility criteria graduates in any discipline from Statutory University with minimum of 50% marks for all the Master of Business Administration Programme, except for the Programmes, which requires graduate with specific subject specializations can apply for the test.
SNAP 2013 Preparation tips
According to Prof. S.K. Agarwal, Verbal expert with MBAUniverse.com, 'All the four sections in SNAP are equally important as you need to remain in merit. If you are serious enough and have prepared well for CAT and XAT you must continue in the same spirit for SNAP 2013 Preparation. Most of the questions are similar and based on the same concepts of English language, Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning as appear in both these examinations; the need is to improve your attempts in limited time. Time management is another important part in SNAP 2013 Preparation to deliver better in the examination. Avoid wrong and doubtful answer options as there is a penalty provision.'0 Likes 0 DisLikes

Shipping of the offshore substation for Borkum Riffgrund 1 Offshore Wind Farm.
Photo: DONG Energy
The first great milestone in the construction of the offshore wind farm Borkum Riffgrund 1 is about to be fulfilled: The shipping of the offshore substation. With a total capacity of 3,500 tonnes and a total height of 65 metres, it is in terms of logistics a tremendous achievement to load the topside and the jacket construction of the substation onto the barge. In the Danish town Aalborg, the weather conditions are good and the giant moves slowly forward on a load-out platform designed for heavy loads in order to be shipped to the construction site located approximately 54km off the East Frisian North See coast and installed on the seabed.
Everything goes according to plan, and both components are placed on the barge called 'Boa Barge 36'. Then, around 30 hours later, depending on the weather conditions, the 465m2 large substation will arrive at the construction site. In the first week of August, the installation of the two components will begin: the eight-legged steel jacket construction will be installed at almost 30 metres water depths.
Subsequently, the topside, which is the beating heart of any offshore wind farm, will be installed. When in operation, the produced electricity from the 77 wind turbines will be led to the topside and here transformed into the required 155kV. The 155kV electricity will then be led through the so-called converter station of the transmission system operator, where it will be transformed again and transported to shore.
The offshore wind farm Borkum Riffgrund 1 covers an area of 36km2 and is located in the German part of the North Sea, approximately 37km north-west of the island of Borkum. The 77 wind turbines have a total capacity of 277MW and from 2014, they will be produce green electricity to 285,00 German households. Borkum Riffgrund 1 is DONG Energy's first German offshore wind farm project.
DONG Energy is one of the leading energy groups in Northern Europe. Our business is based on procuring, producing, distributing and trading in energy and related products in Northern Europe.

text: Robert Lopez Becomes Youngest EGOT Winner with 'Frozen' Oscar Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 3 Mar 2014 post a comment The NBC sitcom 30 Rock never garnered the big ratings that other critically hailed shows, like Cheers or Seinfeld, received. The Tina Fey series did help one word enter the popular lexicon--EGOT. The term stands for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, the four major arts awards given to the best of the best. Sunday night, Robert Lopez became the youngest member of the exclusive EGOT club when a song he co-wrote, the Frozen anthem Let It Go, earned the Best Original Song Oscar. Lopez earned his Grammy for "The Book of Mormon," He won two Tony Awards, the first in 2004 for "Avenue Q" and the second for "The Book of Mormon" in 2011. He also has two Daytime Emmy Awards, both for "Wonder Pets." But despite all the accolades, he's quick to acknowledge his colleagues. Sadly, one of the other 12 EGOT winners, Liza Minnelli, got taunted by Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres during the show's opening monologue. DeGeneres quipped that Minnelli was merely a great Liza impersonator, later referring to the star as a "he." The Daily News notes that 30 Rock didn't create the term EGOT. Former Miami Vice star Philip Michael Thomas is credited with an obsession with winning all four EGOT awards and donning an EGOT medallion for inspiration. Fey's show merely ratched up interest in the term.

Hi. Wondering if any have tried the SUAD, or switched to the Tap 3 Device, or vice versa? I was recommended each by different dentists. With the TAP 3 you obviously can not open your mouth and I have read many don't like the comfort factor regarding the tongue being pressed up against the adjustment area in the front. I have not tried either but need to make my decision soon. I have also read mouth breathers like myself do not tolerate the TAP well. Again, I have only read this on different sites and one DDS said patients had complained about the tongue issue.
Regarding the SUAD device, I understand it allows the mouth to open but keeps the jaw forward with struts along both sides. The DDS pushing this one said it would be better for mouth breathing and more comfortable overall and I would have better luck with it. She said my tongue is large which she believed would be a problem with the TAP 3 regarding comfort and toleration. She also sold SomnoMed Mas, and chose the SUAD over that one as well. She did not sell the Tap.
Here is a link showing all of the oral appliances today, over 30 to choose. The SUAD is 5th from bottom. Thanks. I am worried about the long term changes to my bite and teeth as some have stated they are fighting those problems now.
http://www.quietsleep.com/oralappliance ... iption.cfm
I have exhausted all avenues with CPAP, all surgeries, and all over the counter gimmicks and gadgets. You name it, I have tried it. If I could tolerate a permanent Trachea, I would have one put in again. I had a trachea for about 2 weeks and it was something that worked well, no obstruction obviously, but there were many issues that went along with it, so I had it taken out.
My total apneic index is 56.2 episodes per hour. 31 seconds being the longest episode, 21 seconds average. Like most I have chronic fatigue, no energy, and can fall sleep anywhere anytime. I have even run off the road in my car because I dozed off. Anytime I feel sleepy in the car now, I pull over and sleep for 15 minutes so that never happens again. I am not overweight so losing weight is not an option. I know it is the tongue that is causing my problem. My throat is gutted so there is nothing but the tongue to block the airway.
So, anyone know the best device for a very large tongue for compliance. Will any of the 3 mentioned above be better/ worse. It is hard to trust the DDS when each is guiding me to their device they sell. I would rather hear from other personal experiences. I would hate to think it was based on profit for them, but it is a business first.
It seems so many people have trouble with their bite changing, tooth pain, numerous visits to correct the device, etc, etc. It is the only thing I have not tried aside from breaking my jaw to pull it forward, I'll pass on that surgery, no more for me.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Tim Beasley has appeared and performed as US President Abe Lincoln for some mighty high - level political events, including for the "Lincoln Day Dinner" fundraiser for the GOP. This appearance was honored to have the venerable Senator John Warner (R - Virginia) in attendance which was succesful in the bid for Warner's senatorial race, and also for Jim Gilmore to become Governor of Virginia.
Events have also included appearing for the traveling retail promotional attraction 1/4 scale (over 40 feet long!) White House replica, also featuring the full-sized "Lincoln Bedroom" exhibit for Military Circle Mall, Norfolk , VA's grand re-opening.
Plus as 'Abe," Tim was chosen from the many national actors in this role to appear in the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade in Washington, DC, for a conservatively estimated attendance of over 100,000 vistors from around the globe!

This makes a fabulous brunch! Plan ahead since this needs to be refrigerated for a minimum of 3-8 hours. Although the recipe calls for a chopped tomato, I usually use about 2 cups chunky salsa that has been drained through a small strainer for about 25 minutes instead. I like it much better than with the tomato, so that is an optional change.

Supreme Court RoundUP: Pivotal Cases for the Clean Air Act
How greenhouse gases and Best Available Control Technology could shape the regulatory landscape—and the environment.
NSPS requires that EPA adopt identical regulatory tests for determining what is an "emissions increase" for the two programs. 34 "Congress's repeated use of an ambiguous term," the government argues, "reflects a repeated delegation, not a command of parity." 35, 36
Duke reiterates the arguments it advanced to the Fourth Circuit that EPA historically intended its regulations to apply a consistent test. Specifically, Duke argues under the "plain language" of both NSPS and NSR, a project is a "modification" only if it causes an increase in a unit's basic emissions capacity, as measured by its hourly emissions rate, and that EPA engaged in an erroneous "reinterpretation" of the rules that is inconsistent with Congress' intent. 37
Before deciding who is right about the meaning of EPA's definitions of "modification," the Supreme Court first must consider whether the Fourth Circuit properly had authority to consider Congress' intent in the context on an enforcement action. EPA argues that the Fourth Circuit (and the Supreme Court in the Duke Energy case) does not have the power to consider that issue, because the CAA requires that it be considered only in a challenge to the validity of the rule itself, such as occurred in the New York case. 38
EPA bases its claim that the lower courts lacked jurisdiction 39 on Section 307 of the CAA, which provides that any petition for review of regulations promulgated under the CAA must be filed in the D.C. Circuit within 60 days of notice in the Federal Register .40 Section 307 further specifies that regulations are not "subject to judicial review in civil or criminal proceedings for enforcement" if such review "could have been obtained" under the first provision. 41 EPA contends that although the Fourth Circuit framed its decision as an "interpretation" of NSR regulations, the ruling actually affected the validity of the regulation and therefore "could have been" heard by the D.C. Circuit. 42 Moreover, the EPA argues that the express purpose of the jurisdictional provision is to prevent the inconsistent results that follow from Duke Energy and New York. 43
In contrast, Duke claims that, in this case, there was no EPA action that could have been resolved in a challenge to the rule because Duke was objecting only to EPA's interpretation of the NSR rules, not to the validity of the rules themselves. 44 Duke further claims that it could not have challenged EPA's enforcement position facially at the time the rules were issued because EPA did not then interpret the rules then the way it does now. 45 Rather, Duke argues that EPA originally interpreted the emissions test for PSD to require an hourly emissions rate increase, just like the NSPS emissions test, and only at the time of the enforcement cases in the late 1990s did EPA announce its new position. 46 Indeed, Duke argues, had they filed such a petition challenging the rules in 1980, it would have been dismissed as "unripe." 47 As a result, Duke urges, EPA is "essentially … seeking a ruling that its enforcement position is

[12:20] <esden> I mean the command ... I think it took you some time to generate it ;) [12:20] <blindcoder> blog entry is in the works, already sent it to linux-l and asked for ways on how to do it in other distributions [12:20] <blindcoder> yeha, around 5 minutes :) [12:21] <esden> right ... when I look further into it it looks not so complicated .. you simply reinstall that gems that contain an opt directory [12:21] <esden> is that right? [12:22] <blindcoder> I remove the packages that have files in /opt/ in their flist and then reinstall them [12:22] <esden> I think that you can shoot yourself in the foot if you have bad luck [12:22] <blindcoder> I'm not sure if removing them was strictly necessary, though [12:23] <esden> you should tell mine to only exctarct files targettet at /opt/ from packages that are currently installed and have files in /opt [12:23] <blindcoder> how so? [12:23] <blindcoder> why? [12:24] <esden> because it may be that some packet that has a file in /opt may have a library or a binary in /usr or even in / ... and if you have bad luck this library/binary is needed for propper operation of the system ... [12:24] <esden> and in the middle of this process you showed above you delete the unlucky file and the whole system stands still [12:24] <blindcoder> actually, I did [12:24] <blindcoder> openldap is used by pam, for example [12:24] rocklogbot (email@example.com) left irc: Remote closed the connection [12:25] <blindcoder> but packages in /opt don't have libraries or binaries installed outside of /opt [12:26] <esden> perhups ... but are you 100% shure? ... and what if someone wants to use your process to restore ... say ... /usr/games ?

[12:28] <blindcoder> and I could reduce that to mine and sh :) [12:28] <blindcoder> mine.static and sh, actually [12:28] <esden> then do it ;) [12:28] rocklogbot (email@example.com) joined #rocklinux. [12:29] <blindcoder> that'll become ugly code... [12:29] <blindcoder> but I will [12:29] <esden> and do not remove the packet before reinstalling it [12:29] <esden> and while installing tell mine to only install files that are in the broken directory [12:29] <esden> in your case only files in /opt [12:30] <blindcoder> does an option like that actually exists? [12:30] <blindcoder> besides, it won't matter if I remove it [12:31] <blindcoder> I can start a bash and then mine -r -s bash [12:31] <blindcoder> and the bash will continue to run until I close it [12:31] <esden> be carefull with the command line length ;) [12:33] <esden> I do not know if such an option exists ... if it does not it should be added if you ask me ...

super helpful for managers of introverts
I liked how she put a spotlight on introverts and showing their place in the world. It was refreshing to view the world in a non-extrovert context and to show how introverts are undervalued.
Very enlightening and well written.
In a society where being "outgoing" is highly valued, "Quiet" is a breath of fresh air. It is an insightful and well-written book, which I recommend to everyone, especially parents.
This book offers some interesting insights into how introverted people interact with the world. A great book to read for those who are more introspective, but also for outgoing people trying to understand how a family member or friend sees the world. I took some of her remedial suggestions with a grain of salt, but they certainly get you thinking about how and why we structure things in institutions.

The proudly introverted author investigates differences between extroversion and introversion, portrays the lives of successful introverts, and argues that extroversion has been unfairly valued in our society.
- Selection Team
The proudly introverted author investigates differences between extroversion and introversion, portrays the lives of successful introverts, and argues that extroversion has been unfairly valued in our society.
The book itself is interesting and nicely written, more like fiction. However, as already mentioned here in the comments, I believe human beings are to complex to define them solely as being introvert or extrovert.
The book though is interesting and informative.
I found this book extremely interesting and very validating. The style is very readable and the facts are well researched. It considers many facets of life, from childhood through career development, romantic relationships through parenting. My associations with the song, "Singing in the Rain" have been permanently altered as a result of this book.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is introverted or who knows someone who is--in other words, to everyone.
This book taught me a lot about society's view of introverts, as well as what introversion is and isn't. Even though it was a science/psychology book, I enjoyed it as much as any fiction I've read in a long time.

The Laughing Pint
|3531 Gough St.
Baltimore, MD 21224
More on The Laughing Pint.
The Laughing Pint may look like your average windowless Highlandtown corner bar, but it's actually a homey hipster haven in disguise. Inside, rotating art exhibits adorn the turquoise walls, there's free wi-fi, cheap pool, and shuffleboard, and the staff is as friendly as they come. In fact, you might be bosom buddies with the bartender and three sheets to the wind before you realize the place even has a kitchen. But oh, does it ever. The juicy "pint" burger--with caramelized onions, bacon, tomato, and spinach-arugula pesto--is among the best in the city. (OK, so at $11 it's not exactly a "cheap eat," but it is so worth it.) And, like all the sandwiches, it comes with a side of spicy potato wedges or a bowl of creamy Havarti and cheddar mac 'n' cheese. The baked hot wings ($9) are vinegary and addictive, as well as skinless, so you can kid yourself that they're healthy. And there are lots of options for the meat-avoidant, like the sandwich piled with melted Havarti and slices of crisp apple ($7) or the homemade veggie burger ($9), which is delicious, and unlike many of its brethren, bears no resemblance to a shuffleboard puck.

Guide was good and onto time
Soooooo informative and well worth it!!!! Our guide was simply amazing!
Wonderful tour and explanations. Definitely worth it.
I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very knowledgable, and easily answered any questions that we had. I think the length of the tour was about right.
As requested arrived at San Luca at 12.45. (Why meet so far from the Theater?)
At 1.00 a lady appeared to tell us that there was a delay as we had already been informed. This was obviously incorrect.
At 1.30 the guide arrived. The walk to the theater took approximately five minutes and by 2.00 the tour was over. It consisted of a brief talk outside the theater, another brief talk in the reception area (mostly a repeat of what had been said inside) and a general walk around some of the first floor. The only reason we were able to see into the auditorium was because we joined a group of schoolchildren, otherwise all the doors were locked.
Very disappointing.

WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT - 1965 What's New Pussycat is a sex comedy that's actually quite funny, in its own bizarre way. It's deemed politically incorrect now, and back when it first opened American movie critics lambasted it as immoral & decadent. Not much has changed. Enjoy! It was the '60s. Things didn't have to make sense. The story centers around the very complicated love life of the character Michael James (Peter O'Toole), who is trying to stop seeing other women so that he can focus on the one woman he really loves, Carol (Romy Schneider). To help him overcome his sexual addictions, he seeks professional help from the pschotherapist Dr. Fritz Fassbender (Peter Sellers). Unfortuneately, Dr. Fassbander is a sex-crazed nut in pursuit of patient Renee (Capucine). Written by Woody Allen. Starring: Peter Sellers, Peter O'Toole, Romy Schneider, Capucine, Paula Prentiss, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen. Directed by: Clive Donner. Quality: Very Good Xvid from DVD. Length: 1hr. 44min. Language: English. Size: 720 x 448
This IS quite funny!
Much appreciated, Cheers.
Excellent job! Many thanks!
default aspect ratio is set at 16:10, but I think it is actually 16:9.
Thank you.
nice! cheers mate!

What a very handsome man, and talented too.
He needs to be in the Handsome Rakes gallery! What a beautiful photo.
I was surprised when I saw the date on this photo. At first, I thought it was from maybe around the 50's or so. Now that I look at it, two things stand out. He isn't wearing a suit, and his hair doesn't have that typical greasy look (maybe it's just because it's curly).
He's a very handsome young man. His hand, to me, looks strong but sensitive.
Wonderful DOF here. The sculpting hand is put at the focal point, leaving the forward arm in focus, the face in slightly soft focus, and the rearward arm out of focus, giving the photograph great depth.

Coverage of Virginia politics and the 2014 election.
State Democratic lawmakers to file gun bills
In the wake of last week's school shooting in Connecticut, at least two Democratic state lawmakers have said they'll file bills in the upcoming 2013 General Assembly session to restrict access to certain firearms or add penalties for gun owners who don't try to protect their guns from theft.
Sen. Dave Marsden, D-Fairfax, said in a press release today that he'll file two related bills that "will make it substantially harder for criminals or the mentally ill to obtain the type of dangerous weapons used to commit mass killings in Aurora, Colorado, Newtown, Connecticut, and countless other American cities."
One of Marsden's bills would create a civil liability for gun owners if their gun is stolen, used in a crime and they "they failed to take adequate care and control to prevent the theft." The other would set a $250 penalty for failing to report the theft of one's gun.
"Every single gun owner needs to take personal responsibility and follow basic safety measures to protect their property from misuse by criminals or the mentally ill," Marsden said in his release. "Responsible gun owners, who use basic precautions like trigger locks or gun safes to safely secure their firearms, will not be affected by these proposals."
Del. Joe Morrissey, D-Richmond, would go further — he announced today plans to file a bill to ban the sale of "assault-style weapons" and high-capacity magazines.
In a release, Morrissey said several other states — New York, Massachusetts, California and New Jersey — currently have such weapons bans.
"I'm tired of hearing some folk claim that law abiding sportsman need these weapons," Morrissey said. "How is it 'sport' to go out and shoot Bambi using an assault rifle and accompanying 50 cartridge magazine?"
Sen. Don McEachin, D-Richmond, also said this week that he plans to introduce some form of gun-limitation legislation.
Also today, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe said he believes localities should make school resource officers available to elementary schools that request them.
"We already have these trained officers at the majority of high schools and middle schools in Virginia and should simply extend this common sense option to as many elementary schools as possible," McAuliffe said in a release. "These officers are professionals who are specifically trained to respond to dangerous situations and would be available to deal with any threat our children might face. The cost for the commonwealth to fund such a program would be manageable considering that many schools sharing facilities may already be covered, federal funds are available, and it is of course the decision of each school whether to pursue this option."
McAuliffe cited 2007 statistics — the most recent available, he said –from the Virginia School Resource Officer Program that 95 percent of state high schools and 74 percent of middle schools had a school resource officer, but only one percent of elementary schools did.

Moore and Naciuk Close 2009 President's Choice
 Canadian K2 Championships With Slalom Titles

VERNON, BC (April 3, 2009) – The 2009 President's Choice Canadian K2 Championships concluded at Silver Star Mountain Resort under welcomed clear skies for the ladies' and men's slaloms. More than 170 racers from Canada and the United States took part in the day's event which saw an excess of 250 timed runs.

Ladies' Slalom

Kelly Moore from Quebec took the 2009 K2 Canadian slalom title with a combined time of 1:48.87. Moore, who dominated the field in the morning with a 2.18 lead managed to secure the title after losing only 0.03 seconds with the second fastest run of the afternoon.

"I had such a great day," said Kelly Moore. "My first run was amazing – everything worked well. I was a bit nervous for the second run but I managed to stay calm and focused. Fortunately, I was able to preserve my first run lead to take the win."

Mary Beth Hemphill from Ontario captured her second consecutive silver medal of these championships thanks to a cumulative time of 1:51.52. Hemphill, who was sitting in third place after the first leg, moved up to second place following the fourth best time of the afternoon.

Alix Wells from British Columbia finished third in 1:51.90. Wells, who was holding strong in second place after the first run, encountered challenges in the ultimate run and was pushed back to the bronze medal after clocking the seventh fastest time of the afternoon.

Men's Slalom

Tony Naciuk from Alberta skied to his second consecutive national title thanks to two consistent slalom runs and a combined time of 1:42.41. Naciuk, who clinched the giant slalom gold on Thursday, was the third best slalom skier of the morning and the fourth fastest racer of the afternoon.

"To get the win, I focused on staying calm and was able to push away all the stress," admitted Naciuk. "Even though I grew up training and racing in Edmonton on a very short slope, I have a lot of confidence in my technique and I know I can do well on challenging hills. I have good mental strength and that was also key this week in helping me face the challenging weather and demanding courses."

Thompson from British Columbia confidently tackled the lengthy slalom to take home his second silver medal of these championships. Thompson completed both runs in 1:43.26 After finishing second in the men's super combined, Broderick

Vincent Boulianne from Quebec rounded out the podium with a third-place aggregate time of 1:44.16. Boulianne, who was the 85th racer out of the gate in the morning, battled through a turny and bumpy course to clock the 19th best time. Taking advantage of an earlier start number and cleaner course, Boulianne moved up to bronze after clocking the second fastest run of the afternoon.

Clarke and Naciuk Clinch Overall Titles

The fourth and final day of racing saw the crowing of the overall title champions. The overall champions are ranked based on point performances attributed following the super combined, super G, giant slalom, and slalom results.

On the ladies' side, Devon Clarke from Ontario topped the standings with 240 points. She was followed by her teammate Mary Beth Hemphill who accumulated 184 points. Brittany Lathrop came in third with 162 points.

"I was a bit worried this morning because I knew I had a shot at the overall title," admitted Clarke who won the super G earlier this week. "I didn't ski my best today but I managed to finish both runs and that helped my standings," added the skier who finished 13th in the final slalom event. "Now, I'm really looking forward to going to the Whistler Cup to represent Canada and ski my best."

The men's overall title went to Tony Naciuk from Alberta who captured 240 points. Logan Mackie from the USA came in second with 180 points, followed by Broderick Thompson from British Columbia who captured 160 points.

"It's awesome to win the overall," said Naciuk who was the event's only racer to clinch two titles, the giant slalom and the slalom. "I'm particularly happy to finish on a high note in the slalom. The conditions were so great today. I really had a lot of fun and that,s what helped me keep my cool."

Islanders Bounced from First Round, Skate off to Standing Ovation
It's not often you see a team skate off to a standing ovation, but that's what went down Saturday night in the final Islanders game to be played at the Nassau Coliseum. They gave the fans one heck of a show, leading the Penguins 3-2 14:44 into the 3rd before a Paul Martin shot found the back of the net and sent the game to Overtime. The Isles continued the offensive, as they had all game, but it was a chance off the stick of a Penguin, Brooks Orpik, that ended the game 4-3 and the series 4-2.

Vertically aligned carbon nanofiber (VACNF) electrode arrays were tested for their potential application in recording neuro-electrophysiological activity. We report, for the first time, stimulation and extracellular recording of spontaneous and evoked neuroelectrical activity in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures with ultramicroelectrode VACNF arrays. Because the electrodes are carbon-based, these arrays have potential advantages over metal electrodes and could enable a variety of future applications as precise, informative, and biocompatible neural interfaces.

A notable win for Cullinane
It escaped the immediate attention of the daily press in Boston this week, but Tuesday's nomination of Dan Cullinane by Democratic voters in the 12th Suffolk District certainly merits more than a glancing look from the city's political class. The 28-year-old Dorchester resident won a decisive victory across the district, which includes his home base area around Cedar Grove, but also farther-flung precincts in Hyde Park, where voters of color have been gaining serious clout in recent elections.
Cullinane, who is white, beat out two well-qualified women of color for the nomination: Stephanie Everett and Marydith Tuitt. His campaign was better financed, but he also seemed to run a more robust volunteer-driven effort that drew seasoned political activists under his tent from across the district. That paid off on Tuesday, as Cullinane carried both predominantly white and black precincts alike on his way to a convincing win. It's a reminder that the right candidate can — and will — upend conventional wisdom about racial voting patterns by building a bonafide multicultural campaign. Those who make presumptions about voters based just on their skin color — or gender — would be well advised to take note of the results of this election.
Cullinane still must win over voters in a final election, in which he'll face opposition from two independent candidates, Edmond Romulus and Lincoln Larmond. He'll be heavily favored on Sept. 10 as the Democratic nominee. (In the interest of full disclosure, Cullinane has been endorsed in the final election by his predecessor, Senator Linda Dorcena Forry, a fellow Democrat who is also my wife. She stayed neutral prior to the primary balloting on Tuesday.)
On a more troubling note, Tuesday's election was marred by a very poor turnout. Some blame voter "fatigue," summer vacation schedules, or the mayoral race just now ramping into full gear. We would add to it the astounding fact that — aside from an endorsement of Cullinane by the Globe last Saturday — not a single line of newsprint about the 12th Suffolk race was expended by either daily news outlet in our city over the last three months. The papers' lack of interest in the election may not be the primary culprit in the low turnout, but it certainly was not helpful.
Forward on the Greenway
The news that the Patrick administration has committed to paying for the long-delayed expansion of the Neponset Greenway trail will make next week's tour of the proposed route into Mattapan and Milton all the more interesting. Planners from the state's Dept. of Conservation and Recreation will lead the Wed. evening (Aug. 21) tour, along with longtime Greenway advocates from the Boston Natural Areas Network. The event starts at 5:30 p.m. from the Central Ave. stop on the Mattapan high-speed trolley line.
A compromise route that will extend the current Greenway from its terminus at Central Ave. into Milton and then across into Mattapan Square has been in place for the last two years. The tour will also show off a new piece of land acquired by the DCR last year: An old furniture building at Mattapan Square that will one day be converted into a visitor's center for the Greenway. It's a great chance for trail stakeholders and novices alike to get a glimpse into the now not-so-distant future of reclaiming access to the Neponset.

Rain smeared blood all over the pavement at Sonoma Valley High School Thursday as students screamed in pain and cried in devastation at a horrific two-car collision caused by drunk drivers. Emergency personnel responded to the gruesome accident and one student was taken away in handcuffs while several others were rushed to the hospital or the morgue. A palpable lesson hung in the air as the junior and senior classes witnessed the aftermath of the alcohol-related accident – don't drink and drive.
The realistic scene was staged as part of the national program, Every 15 Minutes, which seeks to prevent alcohol-related car accidents among teens by promoting awareness of the severity of these types of crashes and how they affect a community.
Sixteen juniors and seniors were nominated by teachers to participate in the dramatized program with "victims" played by Javia Headley, Aaron Pino, Jazmin Chavez, Dylan Arias, Danny Banales, Adalid Hernandez, Dylan Ferreira, Ava Gonzales, Luis Ikeo, Gina Peil, Rodrigo Rico, Bryan Ruiz, Christen Silkey, Sam Sondheim and Crystal Vences. Student Owen Ljung played the grim reaper.
The event, which is organized by School Resource Officer Matt Regan, Sonoma Valley Fire Rescue Capt. Jeff Paganini and SVHS history teacher Bernadette Weissmann, takes about six months to plan, with involvement from the Sonoma Police Department, Sonoma County Sheriff's Office, California Highway Patrol, Sonoma Valley Hospital, Sonoma County Coroner's Office, Sonoma Valley Fire Rescue, Bonneau's Towing and Mechanical, Duggan's Mission Chapel and numerous other volunteers.
The 24-hour simulation began with the staged accident on Thursday morning, with six student participants and an assembly of juniors and seniors who witness the crash scene and see what could happen if their peers were actually drinking and texting while driving, and caused a fatal accident. Throughout the day, more students are removed from class to demonstrate the program's founding idea "every 15 minutes someone dies in an alcohol-related crash."
The 16 students were secluded from the rest of their peers and their families and taken to jail, the morgue and the hospital as if they really were involved in that tragic accident.
They then spent a night away from their families, with no cellphone or outside communication, under the supervision of designated chaperones. During the retreat, students and parents wrote letters to each other as if they had a chance to say goodbye before "dying" in a drunk driving accident.
While parents are notified their children will be participating in the simulation, they aren't told in exactly what capacity. As a result, they experience very real emotions, parent Victor Headley said. It wasn't until he sat down to write the letter to his daughter, Javia Headley, that Victor Headley realized the gravity of the program. Javia Headley played one of the passengers in the crash and was "paralyzed" in the accident. "This could be a possibility and it really hits home. You never think something like this could happen and this helps students understand it's possible," Victor Headley said.
Tombstones are set up on campus to honor the "victims" of the crash. On Friday, a mock memorial service was held at an assembly with all juniors and seniors – including the sixteen student participants and their families – and members of local law enforcement, fire and rescue and health services in attendance.
The assembly, centered around a casket to symbolize those "killed" Thursday, started with a video showing the students in the crash acting out a morning of drinking, and the drunk driving that led to the fatal accident. The storyline for this year's event pointedly included a scene in which one of the drivers is texting while driving, adding to the distractions drivers face today.
Guest speaker Wendy Reynolds addressed students with a powerful story about her own involvement in an alcohol-related accident. Reynolds, who lives in Walnut Creek, is a lawyer and part-time judge in Alameda County. In the past, she was a prosecutor and "worked to put people like the (student drivers) in the accident behind bars." But the personal story Reynolds shared was much more powerful and visibly moved students in the audience. Tears flowed and a somber mood swept the room as Reynolds recalled how a drunk driver killed her father, mother and 1-year-old sister in a car accident in a small Illinois town years ago. Reynolds was only 5 at the time and was the only survivor in her family's car. "One minute I was with my family and the next minute I was an orphan and an only child," she told the crowd.
When it comes to drinking or drinking and driving, Reynolds told students they have a choice to make, just like the driver who killed her family had a choice. "He had a choice to make and he chose to drive," she said of her family's killer. "His friends had a choice to not let him drive, too."
"The prison ended up releasing a killer, but the caskets and the ground my parents and sister were buried in never released them," a teary-eyed Reynolds said. Her heartbreaking story of finding out her family was killed, and living with that knowledge, is part of the program's attempt to make the mock accident into something real. "I am your warning call. It happens to people you know," Reynolds said. "I'm Wendy Reynolds, you know me now."
Reynolds, who travels around the country speaking at Every 15 Minutes events, said she feels that part of the reason she is alive today is to share her experience to help others. "Maybe my purpose for living is to talk to you guys," she told the students. "Maybe I can save one of you from making a bad choice."
She explained to the students that when they go to a party, or choose to drink or do drugs, they have a life or death decision to make: "How are you getting home?" Reynolds urged students to designate a driver, prevent others from driving impaired and texting while driving, and even to call a friend or parent to give them a ride. "Your parents would much rather get a call from you than from the morgue."
One student, Aaron Pino, who was "killed" in the crash and taken away in a body bag, read the letter he wrote to his parents. Parents also had the opportunity to share their letters.
"We're here because, every 15 minutes, this happens," Reynolds said to the silent crowd. "It's the consequences of your choices, the consequences of your actions that can affect a community. … Do what you have to do to keep people on the roads safe."
Deputy Regan explained how students constantly hear the message, "Don't drink and drive," but the Every 15 Minutes event puts that message into perspective. "You hear it so much, but what does it mean 'don't drink and drive'?" he said. "It's important to show the dangers so you know what can actually happen if you drink and drive."
This year was the fourth time the school has held the program, Regan said, adding the event is only put on every two years. In the past, the school has sought grants to fund the event, but this year, funds accrued in previous years paid for the entire program.
"There are roughly 600 juniors and seniors at the high school this year," Regan said. "If we make a difference with one kid, then we have done our job."
At the end of Friday's assembly, before students filed back to their classrooms, there was a quiet reflection and teens and adults alike took a moment to hug one another, remembering just how precious life is and thankful that the staged event – though elaborate – was not real life.

The very first MAC brush I ever bought, and I'm in love! I don't really wear foundation that much...only on my t-zone if I'm having a bad day, but when I do, I use this brush, and I also use it for applying cream blush. It blends super well and does give an airbrushed look. And it doesn't shed! I definitely recommend!
I only wear foundation for special occasions or when I'm sleep-deprived and need extra help pulling off a fresh-faced look in the morning. I bought this foundation brush along with Studio Fix Fluid because I wanted to be able to replicate the look the SA created on me. I love the brush--I really can't imagine ever applying foundation without it. It is somewhat pricey, but you get what you pay for.
I am a brush connoisseur. I have tons of 187s and 188s among my huge stash of brushes. I'd had my eye on this, but wasn't sure what I'd use this for. I purchased this with my Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation compact, and wow, I love it! The 187 is too long for my liking with foundation, and so is the 188, but the duo fibers on the 130 are perfect! Just firm enough, but still springy, and doesn't leave that dreaded streaked look! I was afraid the tiny brush head would mean tedious work, but I was wrong. It's so easy to buff all over! It's even easy to get under my jaw line and feel confident I don't have a streaky mess. Because it is tiny, I think this could work well with highlighters, but I can't see it being beneficial for blush (too tiny/concentrated). Yes, it is expensive, but in the long run I find in general MAC's brushes hold up very well, and I've experienced no shedding yet. A fantastic brush that I would repurchase if the product called for it/I lost it.

This is my first MAC foundation brush. I was using another brand of foundation brush similar in size & diameter to the MAC 187. The 130 is indeed considerably smaller than the 187 (which appeared to be a major factor in many reviews I read prior to purchase), however, I like the smaller size as it is much easier to use given the shorter handle. I read reviews of the 130 that complained that it took "too long" to apply foundation due to its small size, however, for me this just did not hold true. It took the same amount of time for me to apply my liquid foundation using the 130 as it did using the 187 "clone". The 130's smaller size made it much easier to apply foundation around the eyes and nose compared to the larger 187.
At $40, this brush is indeed pricey but I decided to go with the higher priced MAC as my $16 "187 clone" keeps bleeding "black color" every time I wash it....not sure whats up with that! (Guess the old saying you get what you pay for holds true in makeup tools to) I will have to wait longer on the MAC brush to add to this review when it comes to any color bleeding when washed.
For now I find the MAC 130 living up to its reputation as one of the best foundation brushes on the market. I used the Pink Egg Beauty Blender sponges for several years now and really like them that is until I tried the 130!, Now I'm sticking with the MAC 130 as it does give an "air brushed" look and uses a lot less foundation in the process. ( I still love the Beauty Blender for applying my concealer).

I was dubious at first, but this brush has become indispensable for me. It is perfect for liquid foundation--you get the benefits of using a 187-type brush and a kabuki or 109-type brush. It works well for cream blushes, powders, and blending concealer as well. It's small so it fits everywhere on the face. I'm not happy with the price but it's MAC so I just have to bite the bullet. I would buy it again if I lost it.

MAC's brushes are expensive, but worth it. If you take care of them, like any brush, you will have them for a while. I wanted a good powder brush, but I got so much more. This gives me great coverage with my powder foundation. I also use it to apply cream blush on clients, liquid foundation and moisturizer. This is a must have brush!

this brush is in 1 word AMAZING! though I love my Beauty Blender, it can't beat this MAC 130 brush.
this is my first MAC brush ever, and I LOVE it. though it's quite expensive, it's worth it! it gives me this airbrush finish like nothing else,,, it actually makes me look like I'm not wearing make up, while I have pretty uneven (bad..) skin.. i absolutely adore how it makes my skin look like its perfect!
I absolutely don't regret buying it! HG for putting my foundation on!

MACs DONE IT AGAIN!!!
man you gotta love MAC... this brush is PERFECT... it gives me the kind of finish that the 109 does WITHOUT THE SHEDDING... flawless finish.... i am a FIRM believer that you can use the best foundation in the world but if your applicator is below par... youve wasted your money. the brush isnt cheap but its worth it... if you care for your brushes they last a lifetime so its worth the investment. ENJOY LOOKING FABULOUS LADIES :o)

I've decided to dedicate my first MUA review to this lovely, tiny and awesome brush. Yes, I did pay $35 for it, but it lives up to EVERY PENNY. First off, I got the mac 187 for my liquid foundation because I think stippling brushes are great tools for achieving a flawless, light yet an even look, but both of my liquid foundations, the Diorskin Nude and Revlon Colorstay, are quite thick and would leave streaks on my face if I applied them with the 187. So, I got the 130, thinking that its tiny brush head is more firm and would reach areas like the undereye area and the nose. Turned out it lived up to EVERY expectation I had! It left absolutely no streaks on my face because of its denser and firmer bristles compared with the 187, and it buffs like a dream. It also reached small areas for an absolutely flawless look. I'm just in LOVE and would never go to another brush again for my liquid foundation! Though I'm thinking of getting a lighter liquid foundation to use with my 187, this won't happen in short term because I have the 130 already, which is just perfect.
I also read elsewhere that this brush is also awesome for multiples and cream-based blush. Would love to try that sometime.

One of my favourite brushes by mac..I use this to apply my liquid foundation, it takes a bit longer than a 187 but does the job just as well, if not better! cos it easily gets into the crevices of your face i.e sides of your nose and creates a really nice finish. Doesn't shed either with is great.

|Gerard Butler
The 43-year-old actor has homes in Los Angeles and 'The Big Apple' but he tends to spend more time at his LA base because he gets distracted too easily in New York to focus on his career.
He said: "I enjoy living in LA but I also have a place in New York. Only I love New York so much that I don't get any work done. I can't get my head down and read scripts. I want to be out walking or going to the theatre. In LA you get disciplined - you train, you write."
Butler is originally from Scotland but has been based in Hollywood since his career really exploded.
The 'Olympus Has Fallen' star misses his home country but accepts he needs to be Stateside to be a successful leading man.
In an interview with the new UK issue of OK! magazine, he added: "You can live in Britain, but without a doubt it helps to live over there, especially if you're producing too as often a meeting will come up and the director's in town for one day and everyone else is based there."
