Virginia provides free bus service to Metrorail on Jan. 20, 2009
Since personal vehicles are restricted from traveling from Virginia into Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day, motorists planning to drive or carpool to the event must use an alternative form of transportation to enter the city.
Virginia has the following public transportation options available for access into Washington on Jan. 20, 2009:
- Reserve a ticket on Virginia Railway Express (VRE) or Amtrak for service into Washington, D.C., and drive to the appropriate rail station.
Drive to a Northern Virginia Metrorail station and take Metrorail into the city.
Drive to a local bus stop that offers free service to Metrorail.
Drive to a local bus stop that offers free shuttle service to a pedestrian bridge.
Drive to a park-and-ride lot to be served by transit and take a shuttle bus to Metrorail.
Hire a taxi or other for-hire vehicle for service into the city.
- Reserve a seat on a charter bus
Metrorail, VRE and Amtrak are the primary transportation choices for travel from Virginia to Washington, D.C., on Inauguration Day.
A key feature of the commonwealth's plan is that all Virginia bus routes that serve Metrorail stations will provide free service for the day.
"Providing free bus service to Metrorail will make travel easier and encourage more people to take advantage of Virginia's transit options on Inauguration Day. The normal flow of transportation into Washington, D.C., has been adjusted for Jan. 20 to help accommodate a significant increase in traffic, so it's important for travelers to review the choices available, create a detailed plan and stay tuned for transportation updates as we get closer to the event," said DRPT Chief of Public Transportation Corey Hill.
Bus Service and Metrorail Options
Virginia transit operators will operate service on Inauguration Day, but many systems will have a modified schedule.
For transportation into Washington, D.C., bus operators will primarily provide service to Metrorail stations, where travelers can transfer to Metrorail for transportation into the city.
Some operators are also providing bus service to bridges that are accessible for pedestrians to walk into the District.
The Memorial, Chain and Key bridge will be open for pedestrian and bike access on Jan. 20.
Bus service will also be provided to Metrorail from designated park-and-ride lots in Northern Virginia.
Motorists traveling to park-and-ride lots are encouraged to carpool to maximize parking availability and to help manage highway congestion near the lots.
Lots will fill up quickly, so plan to arrive early. Some transit operators will begin operating service as early as 4 a.m. on Jan. 20.
Not all park-and-ride lots will be served by transit on Inauguration Day. Contact transit operators to confirm service availability.
All Virginia bus routes that serve Metrorail stations, pedestrian access points and park-and-ride lots in Northern Virginia will be free on Inauguration Day.
For those who must drive to access transit, parking is limited and available on a first-come first-serve basis.
In addition, Metrobus is offering shuttle bus service from Virginia directly into Washington, D.C. for a fare of $5 for the day, payable through cash or a SmarTrip card.
Metrorail will operate between 4 a.m. on Jan. 20 and 2 a.m. on Jan. 21, with rush hour service between 4 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Inauguration Day.
Metrorail will charge peak fare during rush hour service and standard fare at other times. Visit www.wmata.com for additional information.
Listings for Northern Virginia transit operators by locality and designated park-and-ride lots are available online at www.vsp.state.va.us/Inauguration_2009.shtm.
Hours of operation, schedules and routes may vary by transit operator. Please visit operator Web sites or contact transit operators by phone for detailed information.
Passenger Rail Options
VRE will initiate service routes into Washington, D.C., at 5:05 a.m. and will initiate return trip trains at 1:30 p.m. on Inauguration Day.
Tickets are available through mail-order only and must be reserved in advance.
No one will be permitted to purchase VRE tickets at VRE stations on Inauguration Day.
Visit www.vre.org for additional information.
Currently, Amtrak trains from Virginia to Washington, D.C., that will serve the Inauguration Day events are sold out. Tickets may become available as reservations change. Visit www.amtrak.com for additional information.
Planning Ahead
Creating a personal transportation plan is essential to ensure the safest and most efficient travel experience in the Northern Virginia region on Inauguration Day.
Travelers should take the following steps to create a transportation plan:
- Consider the transportation choices and choose the best option.
Visit the transit/rail operator Web site or call to determine schedules, routes and fares.
Create an itinerary with route numbers/names, pick-up locations and times, fares, transfer locations and drop-off locations for both your destination and return trip.
Determine the round-trip fare (if applicable) and follow the transit/rail operator's instructions for fare collection. For example, some services require exact change.
Consult transit/rail operator guidelines regarding acceptable carry-on items.
- Check the transit/rail operator Web site frequently for changes and adjust your itinerary accordingly.
Those in the Northern Virginia region not attending Inauguration activities should anticipate and plan for significant traffic congestion and delays.
Those needing to travel are encouraged to also seek alternate means of transportation or alternate traffic routes.
Local Web sites should be checked in advance for city and county road closures and traffic restrictions.
Employers in the Capitol region are encouraged to consider offering telework, flex time and/or other leave options for their employees on Jan. 20.
More Virginia-specific Inauguration information is available on the Virginia State Police Web site at www.vsp.state.va.us/Inauguration_2009.shtm.

Former Western Kentucky commitments Chris Huhn and Dontravious Wilson announced they'll be playing college football elsewhere over the weekend.
Huhn, a three-star offensive lineman prospect, announced he plans to attend Marshall University.
"I decommitted from Western Kentucky and committed to Marshall today," Huhn told Midwest field reporter Simone Scott. "I just felt very comfortable with Marshall's staff.
"I just didn't feel a connection with the new coaches at WKU. It's nothing against them though, I'm sure they are good guys."
Wilson, a two-star runningback, flipped his commitment from WKU to Central Florida.
The Hilltoppers still have a commitment from runningback Dishan Romine, and will be hosting four-star runningback Dalyn Dawkins over the Jan. 25 weekend.

Hottest Marisa Miller GIFs Ever
Our top 10 best Marisa Miller GIFs of all time.
Our top 10 best Marisa Miller GIFs of all time.
Perhaps Victoria's most perfect Angel, Miss Candice Swanepoel.
She's the one many of us would pick as Hottest Victoria's Secret Model of All.
We like athletic girls, especially athletic girls who are also Victoria's Secret models.
How's that for a little motivation to hit the gym?
After all of the excitement and hard work that went into the 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, it's no surprise that the VS Angels needed a little bit of fun and relaxation.
Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 took place at the Lexington Avenue Armory on November 7, 2012 in New York City. Here are some pictures from the show.
Candice Swanepoel is a South African model best known for her work for Victoria's Secret.
Candice Swanepoel Bio
Candice Swanepoel was born on October 20, 1988 in Mooi River, KwaZulu-Natal Province in South Africa. At 15, she was scouted by a model agent at a Durban market . By age 16, S
It's hard to believe that the sexy Victoria's Secret Angels have to go on tour to promote the company's "Very Sexy" fragrance, but we're not complaining.
Great news for breast lovers: Victoria's Secret's brand-new "Miraculous" swim collection promises to increase the bust of its wearers by a two full cup sizes.
South African Model and Victoria Secret's Angel Candice Swanepoel demonstrates the effects of this technological break through in the video below, which is basically just a bunch of shots of her floating around and climbing out of a pool (not that we're complaining or anything).
Deception has never looked so good.
According to a new study from the University of Minnesota, women feel sexier by merely putting a shopping bag from Victoria's Secret in their hand.

The J. M. Smucker Management Discusses Q1 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Lastly, our cash from operations was a first quarter record with an increase of $167 million. Our ongoing ability to generate strong cash flow provides continuing opportunities to enhance shareholder value. To that end, last month, the board authorized an 8% increase in the quarterly dividend rate payable in September.
Our first quarter results reflect the progress that continues to be made on the key areas of focus that we discussed at our year-end call. As we have stated, these were designed to address both short-term challenges as well as further position the company for long-term growth and include the following: further building our brands through increased investments in marketing support; continuing to drive our innovation pipeline; optimizing price points to meet our consumer needs and address competition; capitalizing on our recent acquisitions; and continuing to optimize our supply chain. We are pleased with what we've accomplished in these areas and Vince will expand on these as he discusses the segments in a moment. We will remain focused on these priorities as we move ahead.
From an industry perspective, consumers clearly continue to feel pressed by the economy and we don't expect overnight reversals in consumer confidence. However, we are beginning to see some positive indicators in industry volume trends. While total U.S. retail food and beverage volume has been soft for an extended period, the industry has seen gradual improvements from the 52-week to the 12-week to the 4-week reporting periods with volume up slightly in the latest 4-week period. Moderating food inflation, as a result of declining commodity costs, has clearly been a factor in this improvement in the food and beverage volume. That being said, the impact of the current U.S. drought will not be fully understood and realized by the industry for a number of months. We will be monitoring this area and adjusting as appropriate. Overall, while we remain cautious, we are more optimistic about the near term than we were a few months ago.

Gross-Out Halloween Candy
And you thought it was bad enough to get a Charleston Chew or black licorice on your trick-or-treating rounds! Well, this one will surely top your list of grossest Halloween candy: Zit Poppers!
Charmingly called "pimple candy," the product is essentially Gushers re-imagined by the Garbage Pale Kids. Literally "poppable" gum drops filled with edible puss-colored ooze.
Zit Poppers sell for $3.50 a box at Stupid.com and are described by the site as "the most disgusting candy imaginable":
The zits are soft and sticky, and if you squeeze them hard enough, a bloody candy ooze seeps out. Those of you courageous enough to eat Zit Poppers will discover they have a wonderful strawberry and watermelon flavor. (We checked the box, and no actual blood, puss, or sputum is used in making the candy.)
Eat at your own risk.

We hail thee, Carolina, and sing thy high praise
With loyal devotion, remembering the days
When proudly we sought thee, thy children to be:
Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
Since pilgrims of learning, we entered thy walls
And found dearest comrades in thy classic halls
We've honored and loved thee as sons faithfully;
Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
Generations of sons have rejoiced to proclaim
Thy watchword of service, thy beauty and fame;
For ages to come shall their rallying cry be:
Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
Fair shrine of high honor and truth, thou shalt still
Blaze forth as a beacon, thy mission fulfill,
And crowned by all hearts in a new jubilee:
Here's a health, Carolina, forever to thee!
The alma mater was written in 1911 by George A. Wauchope, an English
professor at USC, and set to the music of Jonathan E.
Spilman's "Flow Gently,
Sweet Afton." It was written as a result of the need for this type of
school song. A March 1911 issue of the GAMECOCK reported that a year or
two earlier the faculty, "realizing we should have a soul stirring alma
mater," offered a prize of $50, but not much had been done. Several songs,
including "A Health to Carolina," were written after this and other articles
asked for an alma mater. All of these songs that were submitted were placed
in a songbook and sung at chapel.
Although it was several years before the song written by Dr. Wauchope became known as the Alma Mater of the University, it was apparently the most popular one as soon as it came out.
Ever since Professor George A. Wauchope penned the words to Carolina's Alma
Mater, its singing at athletic events has been one of the University's
most revered traditions. Over the years the custom has arisen of raising
the right hand, with fingers cupped, when the phrase "Here's A Health,
Carolina" occurs, as if offering a toast. To many alumni, the "toast" is
synonymous with events on the athletic field.

The Portland Rose Festival Foundation Board of Directors is the governing body of Portland's Official Festival, the Best Festival in the World. This is a year-round commitment that peaks each spring as all of the parades, events and programs of the Portland Rose Festival are produced under the leadership of these volunteers. The Portland Rose Festival Foundation Board of Directors is made up of up to 75 local leaders who implement the Foundation's mission, work on committees for Rose Festival events, and fulfill assigned roles at these events. Many of these hard-working volunteers even use their own vacation time to work on their assigned events. The Rose Festival truly could not happen without their dedication and commitment.
Mission Statement
The Portland Rose Festival Foundation is a non-profit that serves families and individuals with programs and events that promote the arts, education and volunteerism. We value environmental responsibility, diversity, patriotism and our historic & floral heritage.

Message from the Rose Festival President
In my second term as Rose Festival President, I'm even more aware of the impact of the festival and how important it is to have that impact be both meaningful and lasting. This year's theme, Making Memories, refers to one of Rose Festival's impacts, the way it creates and leaves an impression on everyone it touches, including the volunteers, participants and spectators.
This year we are connecting to the community in contemporary ways, both through technology–social media and our new, responsive website–and in our programming. For the first time in our history, we've selected an official charity, the Knight Cancer Challenge. The Rose Festival is calling on the community to help raise a billion dollars to help end cancer as we know it. With research and resources for treatment and early detection, we can have a lasting impact on people's lives.
To give a donation to the Knight Cancer Challenge, go to GiveFest.com.
We have lots of exciting things in store for this year's festival-goers. We're making new memories with old favorites in 2014. We're pleased to have the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and Canadian Royal Navy back for Fleet Week (link). And for the first time in several years, the World Famous Budweiser Clydesdales will appear in the Grand Floral Parade (link). We're bringing back a program that kept the community buzzing back in the 80s and 90s, the Rose Festival/OregonLive.com Treasure Hunt. The elusive Rose Festival medallion will be hidden somewhere in a five-county area, and even if your idea of a search begins and ends with Google, you'll be as fascinated by the fun clues as the more serious treasure hunters.
Whatever way you choose to connect with Rose Festival, we hope you'll engage with your friends both in person and on line by taking lots of pictures and even sharing those pictures at your favorite social media site. Watch for information about our Rose Festival Selfie contest right here at our website. If we run into each other, you might end up in one of mine!
Now go out and make some great memories at the 2014 Rose Festival.
Todd Johnston
Rose Festival President

GE Spreads 'Ecomagination' Message via iAd
BBDO wasn't satisfied with just a Youtube page to plug GE's "Ecomagination" effort. It's been done to death lately so the agency decided to go with an iAd, which once loaded, invites users to explore a world where they can shake, swipe and spin to discover how GE is working to "help us live in perfect harmony" (wasn't that a lyric from a Coke commercial?).
There are four interactive experiences for you to play around with: Watt Station, making energy from waste, clean water and wind for clean energy- each highlighting a specific GE innovation.
For those who don't possess an iPhone (sorry), there's always GE's Ecomagination brand channel for you to find out more about the experience. Credits after the jump.

One Person Dead as Sailboat Capsizes
(WGN-AM)-One person died and a second person was hospitalized after their sailboat overturned and they had to be pulled out of Lake Michigan near DuSable Harbor this morning, Chicago police said.
The boat overturned at about 10:15 a.m., said Chicago Police Officer Gabrielle Lesniak. A ship-to-shore call was placed at about that time notifying officials that the boat had capsized. DuSable Harbor is near where Lake Shore Drive crosses Randolph Street.
Lesniak said a man was pulled out of the water and was transported to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Information about the deceased person was unavailable.
Divers, along with officials from the Chicago Fire Department, Chicago police Marine Unit, and the U.S. Coast Guard, responded, Lesniak said.
A U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman said neither of the people was wearing a life jacket.

Savvy Pianist
Ashlee Young had her first piano lesson at the age of 4 and pursued it throughout her childhood. She has been an active performer, appearing in many recitals, festivals and competitions, bringing home various awards both locally and internationally.
Apart from performing, Ashlee also loves teaching. She started it at the age of 12 and officially turned it into a business when she turned 18.
Teaching allowed me to work a little less so that I could focus on my own practicing and studying. When I finished my master's degree, I knew I wanted to teach more students, and that's when I came up with the name "Young Musicians Studio".
I have clients who are as young as 3 up through retired adults who are coming back to music after years without it. I think it is important to first provide them with fun and interesting lessons so that their love and appreciation for music can grow, no matter what their age, skill level, or practice habits are.
Ashlee likewise plans performance opportunities and other things for all of the students that will help advance their music education. Her most favourite are always the Young Musician Studio recitals. No one can teach music better than someone who has your best interests at heart!

21 Dec 2014
By Riah Pryor. Market, Issue 233, March 2012Published online: 21 March 2012
A major Greek collector has taken Sotheby's to court in Athens over two alleged fake paintings attributed to the Greek artist Constantin Parthenis (1878-1967). The case has stoked fears that the Greek art market is riddled with fakes, which may have increased significantly in number during the boom.
The collector Diamantis Diamantides, who owns the shipping firm, Marmaras Navigation, is one of the biggest buyers of Greek art. He bought Still Life Before the Acropolis from Sotheby's, London, in 2006 and set a record price for the artist when he paid £670,100 for The Virgin and Child in the same saleroom in 2007. Both works are believed to have been consigned by the same two people, although Sotheby's declined to disclose who they were. Evidence reviewed Doubts were soon raised over the authenticity of the works. Diamantides eventually lodged a complaint against the auction house and Constantine Frangos, the London-based senior director of Greek art at Sotheby's, in February 2010, saying that they fraudulently induced him to buy forgeries. A spokesman for Sotheby's denies this vigorously, saying: "It stands to reason that an auction house that sells billions of dollars of art a year, and relies on its reputation to secure consignments and purchasers, would not put its business at risk by knowingly selling forged works." The spokesman adds: "We are reviewing further evidence that has been submitted concerning the authenticity of the works." A decision on the case is expected shortly. Boom years Sales of Greek art, mostly traded in London, grew rapidly between 2001, when Sotheby's held its first Greek sale, and 2008. The firm sold approximately £50m of Greek art during that period, with a record £15.6m made in 2007. Bonhams also held specialist sales, with works by Parthenis, Constantinos Volanakis and Theodoros Rallis packing salesrooms, with buyers predominately based in London or Greece. "These individuals were not buying with their eyes open about what is fake and what is authentic. For many, art was being bought to boost social status," says the Athens-based journalist Margarita Pournara, who was one of the first to alert Diamantides over doubts circulating about his paintings. She adds that forgers use a network of socially connected individuals to bring fakes to market. Rumours of widespread forgery began in 2008 when Bonhams rejected a work, Lady in White, by Dimitrios Galanis (1880-1966) and said "further research" on the work was needed. The sheer volume of works coming on to the market also raised suspicions, especially as the country has relatively few well known modern artists. The market for Greek art has now seen a dramatic collapse, and Sotheby's dropped its Greek sale in November 2011. "It's a huge deal that one of these cases has finally come to court," says one collector, who bought a fake painting purportedly by Parthenis in 1997, and has been offered more since. "We are not like the UK and the US, people don't talk about the issue here—there's a general lack of trust in justice and new buyers don't want to highlight their naiveté and mistakes," he says, before adding that he wishes to remain anonymous. A further problem that has emerged as part of the Diamantides case is the lack of institutions studying Greek artists, developing catalogues raisonnés and discussing the authentication and provenance of art made in Greece. While works have to be assessed for national significance by the National Gallery in Athens before export licences are issued, the process does not involve authentication. Dealers are concerned that the National Gallery's stamp on works is being used as provenance. While rumours of fakes in the Greek market increase, cultural and government bodies seem unwilling to tackle the problem. "What worries me is that once this case is over, the momentum to look any further will stop," says another collector of Greek art who also wishes to remain anonymous. "There are no bodies on hand to investigate further into whether a crime was committed and we will slip back into how it was before, with no guidelines or regulating bodies—we are working in a vacuum."

The illustrated work is anyway a dead ringer for Meredith Frampton's portrait of the well-known model Marguerite Kelsey. It would be surprising if Frampton had not got there first, but is even more surprising if the work is not oh-so-familiar to any London gallery-visitor - the Tate if my recall is correct

Train Schedule and Information
Book railway tickets for Thailand
Bus remains the most popular and widespread means of transport in Thailand and is used by many Thais and travellers daily across the Kingdom. On the whole the buses are fairly frequent, safe, reliable and comfortable. Usually they leave on time and are always cheap.
Buses depart from Chiang Mai to destinations all over Northern Thailand, as well as hourly buses to and from Bangkok with stops en-route at main centres in central and Northeastern Thailand.
Local buses can get crowded with locals, so you are advised to arrive a little early, however they depart quite regularly. Be sure to check your times for air-conditioned buses, which are far more comfortable in the Thai heat. Long distance buses offer excellent service, with a hostess offering soft-drinks and a snack (tiny packet of peanuts) as well as a wet towel. Videos are shown on most buses, usually in Thai language, and they go on through the night making sleep a little difficult sometimes. Thais also love their air-conditioning on sub-zero temperatures, so remember to dress warmly.
There is stiff competition among bus companies for the Bangkok to Chiang Mai bus route and buses leave hourly. Buses from Chiang Mai to Bangkok leave hourly from the Arcade Bus terminal, east of the city, between 6:30 and 21:00.

Busses from Bangkok to Chiang Mai
Buses from Bangkok to Chiang Mai depart at least every hour between 05:30 and 22:00 from Mo Chit Station and take roughly 10 hours. We recommend VIP buses (fare 400 - 600 baht), offered by either the government or private companies. These can also be arranged from travel agents on Khao San Road, with a pick up there, and at other points around the city.
Bangkok is serviced by several main long distance bus terminals. Mo Chit, in the North, is the largest and busiest since it services Northern and Northeastern Thailand. From here there are limited services to other parts of Thailand. To get to it you need to catch the skytrain to the end of the line at Mor Chit/Chatuchak market and then take a 10 minute taxi ride to the terminal. Buses leave frequently throughout the day, including to Ayuthaya and Kanchanaburi.
The newly renovated Southern bus station is across the river in Thon Buri, servicing destinations to the South and West, and is best reached by taxi. The Eastern bus station besides the Ekkamai skytrain station services Pattaya, Koh Samet, Koh Chang and Eastern destinations.

Just Because of Pass4sure, I got passed"When I bought pass4sure 650-568 exam kit I was not sure if I am going to write Cisco 650-568 Exam or when I am going to write it because I did purchased many Cisco Specialist 650-568 exam prep products earlier also in last 4-5 years. And the journey started from here then I took membership and then I filled the online application and finally after many yes and no I dared to take a date for the exam, rather pass4sure study guide forced me to decide a date. Otherwise I was ON and OFF preparing for the exam since 4-5years but was never ready and could not decide whether I should give this exam or no. I would like to thank entire pass4sure team to motivate me to become a certified person.
Thanks & Regards,

Excellent Exam Preparation Material"I just had to say thank you guys for the excellent exam preparation material for 650-568 test.

I had little hope for passing the test but never knew that all I needed was a study guide from Pass4sure. I read the material only 4 times before the Cisco 650-568 test and it took me through it. Thanks anyways.

Client Support Manager Interview
I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at The Nielsen Company.
Interview process was extremely smooth. Granted, I did work with a recruiter who was given my resume by an internal employee, however after the initial interview with the recruiter I was interviewing with the hiring manager within 5 business days. After a phone-interview with the hiring manager, I was asked to come in for a in-person interview for which the hiring manager, and VP flew in to meet me. The in-person interview was very laid back and casual. After touching on my previous role, we discussed why I wanted to get into market research and what my 1 and 5 year goals were. It was nice to hear about career advancement throughout the interview process from all internal people I spoke to.

For a country to have abundant reserves of oil but run without big enough numbers of the right personnel to serve the industry would be, at best, terribly risky. Earlier this week the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) proudly announced, perhaps understandably, that the country is likely to stumble on abundant oil reserves soon following completion of the first stage of the survey in Lake Tanganyika waters.

Only years ago, Tanzania was critically short of public secondary schools. In fact, in some districts in upcountry regions there were no more than two secondary schools.

Half a century down the road and a survey shows the curse of the nation still remains, poverty, ignorance and disease, in that order.
