Baby Shower
On Saturday May 9th, 2009 my family threw me a lovely baby shower and it was so much fun. They bbqed some yummy food and bought me a cute cake that said "Look Out World Here I Come" with little babies and booties on it. I got some really good presents; the crib, diaper bag, travel wipes, baby wash, a very cute outfit, two onsies, crib mattress, Mickey Mouse clubhouse Mickey, and two cards with money for the baby. We really appreciate all family members who came to the shower and the gifts they gave to the baby, although they were worried I only got a couple of things I got almost everything I needed. With the money we got I plan on buying the rest that we need which is his crib bed set, homecoming outfit, blanket, and sling. I feel blessed to have such a loving family to throw me a baby shower even though this is my third little one and having two little boys so close in age. I put all of the pictures up from the day so go take a look at my great family.

I don't like the makeup of this team. At all. And I don't like the coaches system even more.
The system is predicated on using an uptempo, in your face heavy forechecking style and it uses the top lines alot more than the checking lines.
The problem with that is besides Gaborik we don't have any other top line fowards. Sorry, Dubinsky isn't a #1 center. So what he does is he wears out the top lines while playing little defense at all. Sorry this is the NHL and positioning will beat pressure all the time. Especially in the playoffs which this team will never sniff. Sitting back on Defense and counter attacking is a much easier more organized style to play and it takes alot less energy.
Secondly as good as Lundqvist is , as with almost any goalie, he play's better when their is an organized team defense playing in front of him. He's great on 1 on 1s but he's going to get exposed on odd man rushes. And his glove side is very weak.
I won't get into the young D we have because with this style it doesn't matter who's on D. It's almost like having a 4th a 5th foward.
Torts won the Cup with Tampa with this system but he had Lecavlier and St. Louis. Big difference than what we got. He says's that conditioining will make us able to play his type of style but I highly doubt that other NHL teams are in far less better shape than the Rangers.

U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer Nicole Wong, who worked for Twitter and Google before entering government service, is returning to California.
After more than a year at the Office of Science and Technology Policy, U.S. Deputy Chief Technology Officer Nicole Wong is leaving government.
Wong's last day is Friday Aug. 15, and she will be moving back to California, an OSTP spokesperson confirmed to FCW.
Wong played a large role in the recent White House big data initiatives, including lead authorship of the May 2014 Big Data report. She was also in charge of leading privacy and Internet policy initiatives at OSTP over the past year.
"Nicole is an incredibly talented and insightful leader, who has made major contributions to big data, privacy, and Internet policy during her time at the White House," U.S. CTO Todd Park said in a statement. "We're deeply grateful to Nicole and her family for her service, and will miss her."
Prior to joining the Administration, Wong was the legal director at Twitter and vice president and deputy general counsel at Google. Wong's background is diverse, including a law degree and masters in journalism; prior to Google she worked at the Perkins Coie law firm in California.

A Virginia man will serve seven years in prison for bribing Panamanian government officials to win a contract to maintain buoys and lighthouses outside the Panama canal.
Charles Paul Edward Jumet pleaded guilty in November to conspiracy to make corrupt payments to foreign officials and lying to investigators about the scheme. The plot involved paying $212,000 in bribes between 1997 and 2000 to secure $18 million in contracts for his Virginia Beach firm Ports Engineering Consults.
At his sentencing Monday, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson also ordered the 53-year-old Fluvanna County resident to pay $15,000 in fines. Another executive, John Warwick, also pleaded guilty. He's scheduled to be sentenced May 18.

The peaceful revolution and the fall of the Wall in autumn 1989 cleared the way for German reunification on 3 October 1990
(© Bundesbildstelle)
The Berlin Wall enclosed West Berlin from August 13, 1961 to November 9, 1989, cutting a line through the entire city center. It was supposed to prevent East Berliners and citizens of East Germany from fleeing to the West, but the Wall was unable to entirely stop the mass of people from fleeing. With the downfall of East Germany in 1989, the Berlin Wall that the SED had for so long tried to use to maintain its power, also fell. The fall of the Wall marked the definitive end of its dictatorship.

The EU Member States' Ambassadors of Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom based in Bahrain, in their statement of 24 September welcomed the legislative elections to be held on 22 and 29 November 2014, and encouraged the participation of all political societies and the people of Bahrain in the electoral process in the spirit of national reconciliation.
It is therefore with deep disappointment that the EU Member States' Ambassadors based in Bahrain note the announcement on 11 October by the National Democratic Opposition societies that they will boycott the legislative and municipal elections. Given the regional situation, we believe it imperative for rebuilding the trust and confidence necessary for stability and progress in Bahrain that all those committed to the democratic process participate in the elections. We therefore urge the National Democratic Opposition parties to reconsider their boycott.

The Second World War began 75 years ago. The fall of the Wall 25 years ago was the first step on the path to German reunification. Essays by and interviews with renowned historians and political scientists analyse the events and their effects on the present. Young people from Europe, the United States and Israel describe how they feel about these historical events and why they actively support their commemoration.

Bing Tiles: Interactive Images In Search Results
Like Google's rich snippets and Yahoo's Search Monkey, Bing is introducing a new flavor of richer search results named "Tiles." Tiles are interatice logos or images displayed next to a search result. The tiles can share data in a more graphical way, such as a call to actions for downloading files, watching movies, movie ratings, restaurant ratings and more.
Currently the Tiles program is a beta program being tested with some webmasters. Microsoft plans on announcing more details of the program at SMX West. A Microsoft spokesperson told us:
"We are always looking at new ways to improve the Bing user experience and today we began testing "Tiles". A tile is an interactive logo or image displayed next to a search result that helps people easily identify a trusted site and make faster, more informed decisions. We are initially partnering with approximately forty-five content providers to test tiles focused on entertainment, local, travel and auto."
Here are some screen shots of Bing Tiles in action:
DON'T MISS OUT! The agenda for Search Engine Land's SMX West search marketing show is now up. Search marketing is the biggest area of digital marketing. You can't afford to get it wrong!

Take out the hip pads for now. Also, not sure if someone else mentioned this already, but the thigh braces should be hitting you just above the knee. Move your foot pegs far enough away that your legs are not contacting the thigh braces. You should not be in contact with the braces when relaxed.

Former Chicago Bears cornerback Nathan Vasher has sold his five-bedroom, Tudor-style house in Mundelein for $340,000.
Vasher, 33, played 10 seasons in the NFL and was cut by San Diego in 2010.
Vasher took a loss on the house, which he bought in 2005 for $440,000. He listed it in April for $349,900 and later cut his asking price to $339,900 before going under contract.
There were multiple offers on the house, said Leslie Silverman of @properties, who represented the buyers. "It's such a beautiful, well-maintained home," she said.
Built in 1991, the house has a recently remodeled kitchen, a finished basement with a snack area, a kitchen with a butler's pantry, vaulted ceilings, two staircases and a master suite with a soaking tub and a separate shower.
Vasher owns a Vernon Hills house that he bought in 2007 for $1.32 million.Read more
Former Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith this week took his 13-room Lake Forest mansion off the market. It had been listed for little less than three months at $1.99 million.
It's not known if Smith, who is head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, just took the house off the market for the holiday season — when homebuying typically slows — or if he is planning to hang on to the home and perhaps rent it out. His listing agent, Katie Hackett of @properties, did not respond to requests for comment.
Smith, 56, was fired by the Bears at the end of 2012 after nine seasons as coach. He sat out the 2013 football season and signed with Tampa Bay in January. The Bears defeated Smith's Buccaneers 21-13 on Sunday at Soldier Field.
Smith paid $1.62 million in late 2004 for the five-bedroom brick house, which was built in 2002 and has five baths, an eat-in kitchen, a two-story family room with a fireplace; a living room with a fireplace; a cherry library; a sweeping staircase; an...Read more
Ken Griffin, the founder of Chicago investment firm Citadel and Illinois' richest man, has listed his three-bedroom, 2,494-square-foot condominium on North Michigan Avenue for $1.4 million.
Griffin, who is in the midst of a contentious divorce from his wife Anne Dias Griffin, owns a penthouse condominium on the 67th floor of the nearby Park Tower that has been his primary residence since he bought it in 2000 for $6.9 million.
In 2012, Griffin expanded his domain by paying $15 million to buy a 7,900-square-foot unit on the 66th floor of the Park Tower, Chicago's priciest-ever condo sale.
The three-bedroom unit that Griffin placed on the market Monday is on the 54th floor of a different tower on North Michigan Avenue. He paid $1.02 million for it in late 1995, according to public records.
Features in the unit that Griffin is trying to sell include three baths, south and west views, a formal entry, a large living room and dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a master suite with a marble bath,...Read more
Singer and songwriter Richard Marx on Wednesday listed his nine-bedroom, 29,475-square-foot, David Adler-designed mansion on Lake Michigan in Lake Bluff for $18 million.
Marx's asking price is the fourth-highest of any Chicago-area residence. In the city, the only higher listing prices are the Trump Tower's penthouse, which is available for $32 million; a 15-room, 30,000-square-foot estate in Barrington Hills that hit the market last week for $19.98 million; and Timothy Mullen's 17-room Lincoln Park mansion, which carries an $18.75 million price tag.
Three other trophy properties whose asking prices once exceeded that of Marx's home — Vince Vaughn's triplex penthouse in the Palmolive building, Michael Jordan's Highland Park mansion and the Le Grand Reve mansion in Winnetka, whose price was cut on Saturday to $15.9 million — all have undergone significant price cuts that place them below the price of Marx's mansion.
A Highland Park native, Marx, 51, rose to stardom with late-1980s pop...Read more
A six-bedroom, 15,000-square-foot house on the Near North Side converted from a ComEd substation was listed Wednesday for $13.9 million.
Located across from Newberry Library, the onetime substation was built in 1916 and sold in 2008 for $3.75 million to its current owner, lawyer Bruce Gelman. Gelman renovated the two-story building and added two floors and an atrium.
Features include six full baths, three half-baths, two kitchens, a greenhouse, an elevator, an exercise room, a wine cellar and a four-car garage.
Neither Gelman nor his listing agent, Kathleen Malone of Related Realty, responded to requests for comment.Read more
Former Chicago TV news anchor Mary Murnane has sold her four-bedroom, 6,238-square-foot Cape Cod-style house in Lake Forest for $1.85 million.
Murnane, 58, was a news anchor at WMAQ-Ch. 5 from 1985 to 1990, and later worked as a freelance reporter at WFLD-Ch. 32. She subsequently ran a production company and worked as a portrait photographer. Murnane runs her own fashion and lifestyle website.
Murnane first listed the house in May 2013 for $2.4 million. She later reduced her asking price to $2.2 million and $2.05 million before finding a buyer.
Features include five baths, a custom kitchen, a master suite with a spa bath, and a four-car heated garage. The house sits on a 1.6-acre parcel.
"It was a beautiful home that they had remodeled and added on to, and it was in gorgeous condition," said listing agent Nancy Adelman of Griffith, Grant & Lackie. "The new owners are very happy there as well."Read more

Following Barack Obama's announcement that he would use executive authority on immigration policy, BC Social Work Professor Westy Egmont went on CNN to discuss what the order means for the millions of immigrants affected by the president's decision.
"I'm sure that tonight, there's a lot of weeping and joy in millions of homes across the United States," Egmont told CNN International anchor Errol Barnett. "This is a profound opportunity for people to come out of the shadows…It means for some people the ability to go to work legally. It means for many people the ability to stay with their children who have already been given under DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] the opportunity to stay in the country. It certainly is going to mean an emotional opportunity to breathe deeper, to feel cohesively a part of the community in which in they live, and to take hope for the future."

The scholarships, awards, and commendations are from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute on Aging, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and other organizations. More about research roundup »

Fidelity beat benchmarks by $35 billion, but does anyone care?
BOSTON (Reuters) - U.S. investors have all but tuned out the boldest and best mutual fund stock pickers, leaving billions of dollars on the table for each of the past five years.
Stung by the 2008 financial crisis, mutual fund investors have plunged into low-cost, low-risk passive investments such as index funds, happy to take whatever the market gives them instead of reaching for excess returns.
But the opportunity cost has been enormous.
An easy way to look at it is to compare rival mutual fund titans Vanguard Group, the reigning champion of the index fund, and Fidelity Investments, whose actively managed portfolios have outperformed benchmarks for the past five years.
Vanguard received $75 billion in net flows in 2013 - more than three times any other firm - while Fidelity had only $5 billion in net flows, lagging about half of the 35 largest fund families, according to Morningstar Inc.
"The Vanguard tsunami leaves all of us a smaller player," said Art Steinmetz, who oversees $232 billion in assets as president of OppenheimerFunds. "You can't do it more cheaply than Vanguard with their scale... Year in and year out, they have every day low prices and they don't have to apologize for performance," he said.
The price tag for playing it safe becomes clearer when you drill deeper into the numbers: The average actively managed stock fund at Fidelity has outperformed its benchmark by 1.33 percentage points, net of fees, each year since 2008. That has resulted in $35 billion worth of added value, or outperformance, for Fidelity's investors, said Brian Hogan, president of Fidelity's Equity Group who oversees $750 billion worth of actively managed stock funds.
Hogan holds up Joel Tillinghast, portfolio manager of the $48 billion Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund (FLPSX.O), as one of Fidelity's ultimate active stock pickers. Over the past 24 years, Tillinghast has outperformed his benchmark by 5 percentage points a year after fees.
But investors are not stampeding into Tillinghast's fund to access his returns. In fact, over the past five years, investors have pulled nearly $3 billion from the fund in outflows, according to Lipper Inc, a Thomson Reuters company.
Christopher Philips, a senior investment analyst at Vanguard, said a lot of money managers are trying to move away from the poor marketing image of no skills and high fees by becoming more active. But he also said there's no guarantee portfolio managers with high active share can beat their benchmarks year after year.
"The case for active management is the opportunity to outperform," Philips said, stressing the word opportunity. "But higher costs are there and so is the risk of underperformance."
While a bad stock pick can undo any manager, recent academic research reinforces the argument that active management provides benefits to investors in the long-run.
Antti Petajisto, a former Yale University finance professor who now works for BlackRock Inc (BLK.N), concluded that the most active stock pickers in the industry have been able to beat their benchmarks by about 1.26 percent a year after all fees and expenses, according to his results published last year in the Financial Analysts Journal.
Fidelity's Hogan said he believes investors will eventually notice, turning the tide of money flows back in his company's direction. "It would be great to get those flows, but they're a lagging indicator," he said.
Still, executives from Fidelity and other mutual funds acknowledge that a significant hurdle to drawing risk-averse investors into actively managed funds is less about the long-term performance, and more about the short-term volatility that sometimes accompanies stock-picking.
The $1.5 billion CGM Focus Fund (CGMFX.O), for example, beat the S&P 500 Index last year by 5.22 percentage points with a 37.61 percent return. Run by Ken Heebner, the fund's composition was 97 percent different than its benchmark. But a key volatility measure was nearly 80 percent higher than the S&P 500, according to Morningstar. The takeaway is that investing in Heebner's fund is akin to a roller coaster ride.
Fidelity and OppenheimerFunds have said they want their portfolio managers to pick stocks while keeping a sharp eye on tracking error, which measures the volatility of a portfolio's returns relative to its benchmark.
If done perfectly, an active manager can look different from his benchmark without straying too far from the benchmark's risk profile, said Laton Spahr, portfolio manager of the $2.4 billion Oppenheimer Value Fund (OGRIX.O).
"With active share you can keep the risk profile of your benchmark, but your returns can be better," Spahr said.

We've got a lot of ground to cover on The-Dream's new Love King remix, so let's not waste any time. First, while the Radio Killa announced on his Twitter that the official-official remix will feature Luda (the duo have already shot a video), in the meantime he's brought on "don't call me Young anymore" Jeezy for the merely "official" remix. Here the original production, by L.O.S. Da Mystro, and Dream's typically hypnotizing vocals remain largely untouched, meaning it's the Snowman's always gritty vocals that make all the difference. While I personally prefer my Jeezy rhymes about flipping kilos, not lovestruck young ladies, those who liked his work on Love in This Club should love his vocals here as well. And now for the question you knew was coming: does Jeezy's verse add or subtract from the original? Well…? Either way, the anticipation surrounding Dream's upcoming third album, which he says might be his last, is sure to only get bigger before it finally drops on May 17. Mark your calendars.
