The student-athletes at the University of Pennsylvania are just that -- student athletes. They come to Penn not just to be members of the University's NCAA Division I athletic programs, but also to receive one of the finest undergraduate educations in the United States and the world.
Penn Athletics is proud of the legacy set forth by these student-athletes, and the numerous honors that have been bestowed on them over the years. The department also works hard to recognize and honor those student-athletes who raise the bar for their classmates and set the standard both in the classroom and in the athletic venues...
*Three of Penn's five major senior student-athlete awards are based strictly on a letterwinner or participant's grade-point average, and the other two have a GPA minimum that must be met in order to be eligible.
*Each year, the department hosts an event to honor the student-athletes who had a perfect 4.0 GPA for a semester or academic year.
*At the homecoming football game, Penn recognizes on-field the men's and women's teams that boasted the best overall GPA from the previous academic year.
In the latest NCAA Academic Progress Report (APR), released in June 2012, Penn had 17 of 28 eligible programs receive Public Recognition commendations for finishing in the top 10 percent among all Division I programs in their sport. (Five programs -- men's heavyweight rowing, men's lightweight rowing, sprint football, men's and women's squash -- are not included in the APR, as their sports do not conduct NCAA championships.)

What's the Best Running Shoe Under $100?
This is a question we get a lot at the 'house. We certainly don't blame you for wanting to look out for your wallet when you're shopping for new shoes, especially if you're racking up 70+ mile weeks and needing a new pair every couple of months. Fortunately, there are many solid running shoe options under $100, and the best one for you will depend on what you're looking for.
Light, Flexible Running Shoes under $100
Asics Gel Lyte33 2 ($90 MSRP)
The Asics Gel Lyte33 2 was the surprise of the year for us so far. It feels completely different than it's predecessor (in a good way), and offers a soft yet bouncy feel with a quality ride. We credit the combination SpEVA/Solyte midsole, which gives a particularly nice feel for mid/forefoot strikers where the shoe provides full-thickness SpEVA foam.
New Balance 730 v2 ($75 MSRP)
Flexible might be the first word that comes to mind when you think of the New Balance 730 v2. This shoe has many of the points we loved about the original, including a low offset, responsive ride, and upper that runs on the generous side. We also think it's one of the best looking New Balance shoes for 2013.
Nike Free 4.0 ($95 MSRP)
If you want to get the Nike Free experience on your feet for under a hundo', then reach for the Nike Free 4.0. This Free model doesn't get as much attention as the Free 5.0 (nee Free Run) or the minimal Free 3.0 v5, but it still offers all the classic features of a Free running shoe: extreme flexibility, good cushioning, and a breathable, sock-like upper.
Zero-Drop Running Shoes under $100
Saucony Virrata ($90 MSRP)
In spite of its modest price tag, the Saucony Virrata has the power to amaze. It has a performance fit and a sweet spot just behind the ball of the foot – but it seems to feel good no matter how your foot lands. Unlike most zero-drop designs, this shoe has quite a bit of padding underfoot.
Altra Samson/Delilah ($95 MSRP)
Wide-footed "barefoot" runners of the world, rejoice! The Altra Samson (and the Women's model, the Altra Delilah) has a rectangular toe box that comfortably accommodates wider feet without rubbing or causing blisters. It also has a removable sockliner so you can get extremely close to the ground.
Merrell Vapor Glove ($80 MSRP)
The Merrell Vapor Glove is a great shoe for barefoot runners who want a stowable shoe to take with them in case they hit a rough patch of ground and want a little extra protection. Read more…

Some feeling spurned by Special Olympics
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY firstname.lastname@example.com February 14, 2013 2:18PM
Brendan Leahy, 25, before the start of his team's Special Rec basketball game at Park School in Orland Park Tuesday, February 12, 2013. | Brett Roseman~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 16, 2013 6:19AM
Brendan Leahy loves basketball and practices shooting hoops nearly every day.
His Orland Park team has had such a good season that he was hoping to qualify for the Special Olympics next month.
On the day of the qualifying tournament, however, Mother Nature put those dreams on ice. A winter storm warning and icy conditions on Jan. 27 left 120 teams idle as some 400 games were cancelled at about 10 sites statewide.
The games won't be made up, which has brought a heated reaction from parents of some of the special athletes. They are upset their sons didn't get a chance to compete, and they argue that such crucial games would be rescheduled for other athletes.
But Special Olympics Illinois doesn't own any facilities and relies on volunteers, according to Dave Breen, the organization's president. That makes it almost impossible logistically to reschedule.
The only "fair" option, Breen said, was to randomly select about two dozen teams to advance to the state tournament March 15 and 17 in Bloomington-Normal. Those teams are to compete against teams whose qualifying games were Jan. 26, when the weather was better.
Leahy's team and others won't get the opportunity to earn a spot.
"That's unconscionable," said Susan Leahy, Brendan's mother. "They should be treated like any other athlete, in any other sport. Just because they are special, they still have the right to have events run fair and square."
The kids are "devastated," she said.
She's not the only one who feels that way.
The Special Olympics are "a very big deal. It's an awesome event," said Linda Shute, whose son Brian coaches the team that her other son, Matt, and Brendan Leahy play on.
Much like the international Olympics, there is a torch-lighting ceremony, a parade of athletes and medals to be won.
"I cannot believe they could not find a place (for rescheduled games) in six weeks," Shute said. "They had their chance to compete taken away."
Their sons' team, the Orland Park Chargers, was not among those randomly drawn to participate. Both moms said these events need to be better planned in the future so this does not happen again.
"It hurts that they did not have a backup plan," Shute said. "These kids have so many disappointments in life. It is a real shame that the one thing that is supposed to be for them is the one thing that has caused major disappointment to them this year."
Even if the Chargers team had been randomly chosen, "it would not have been the same as playing those qualifying games," she said. "Most of the kids that participate in these games know that they need to win the gold to advance, and that is the opportunity they wanted, just the chance to try."
"It's wrong. You can't do this to people," Leahy said.
Breen understands their frustration.
"We're as upset as anyone. But I will always err on the side of safety. Safety comes first," he said. "I know there are some upset people and I certainly understand where they are coming from. We want people to compete, but safety is a factor and facility availability is another factor.
"We don't postpone," he said.
That leaves cancellations as the only option under such circumstances, and decisions to cancel are not easily made.
"It takes twice as much work to cancel as to hold an event," he said.
Special recreation groups don't have the "luxury" of owning their own facilities, but usually rent space from schools or park districts, he said.
Special Olympics Illinois serves 21,300 athletes ages 8 and up, in more than 19 different sports, and another 13,000 kids ages 2 to 7 years in a young athletes program, Breen said.
While basketball, bowling and track and field are the biggest draws, all of the sports use qualifying events to determine participants, he said.
The mission of Special Olympics has always been to provide year-round sports training and competitive programs, Breen said. Events are scheduled months in advance, drawing thousands of players, families, officials, volunteers and food concessions.
"It's not worth it to bring that many people together and have them travel in bad weather," he said.
Breen hopes the controversy draws more volunteers to the effort.
"I hope people will take this as a positive. I hope they will join the committee and see how it works. That is what I hope will come out of this," he said. "I hope they will participate in upcoming events. I hope they understand we are doing this for the right reasons."

Unique and beautiful
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations Everyone loved our invitations. They kept telling us how different and unique they were, which was our goal. We didn't want our invites to look like everyone else's. We love them!!!!!
The perfect invitation
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations I searched long and hard for the perfect invitation to my fall wedding. I ordered several sneak peaks from this site before deciding on this design. I also ordered my save the dates from this site. Every magnet street transaction I have made has been completed in a timely manner and has exceeded my expectations. I chose the linen paper for this invitation and personalized it with my fall engagement photos. The results were vibrant and perfectly matched my theme. I loved that I was able to change the colors of the design to match; and the pictures were very easy to upload and place in the design. I showed off my sneak peak (which is also a great service to use because you get a peak of your actual design) and everyone absolutely loved it. People asked how much I paid per invitation because the quality was so high. I couldn't be happier with my invitation, rsvp cards, and envelope purchase, and I spent 200 dollars less than I expected too. I would highly recommend magnet street for all your paper needs.
Very personal with a professional touch
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations I really enjoyed the outcome and production of this invitation, I tried to go abouts doing an easier cheaper way with getting it copied on my own! But found out the outcome was not as beautiful as the original!!!
Pricey but beautiful
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations I absolutely love this card, but honestly I may not have gotten it if I didn't find a discount. These cards were very close to being almost $300, most girls where I'm from (New Mexico) have all told me that's how much they spent on their dress. So other than the price making me feel a little guilty, it is definitely beautiful and I'm excited to mail it, frame it and show it to my future children, which in the end is the only place I see the price fit.
Beautiful photos!
Vision of Love Gate-fold Invitations We made beautiful invitations, filled with photos for a very reasonable price. We chose the envelopes in cream and they are so very nice. Great experience!

BBC is reporting that the Great Man has died of cancer.
BBC is reporting that the Great Man has died of cancer.
Bad week for cricket.
Bugger. Didn't even know he was ill.
RIP. One of the great cricket writers.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The PFA does not represent players when they have broken the law and been convicted on non-football matters."
- Gordon Taylor in 2009 following Marlon King's release after a prison sentence for sexual assault & ABH
As an Australian I never came across CMJ's work on a regular basis, but from all accounts he was a huge figure in the cricketing media and a fantastic writer.
Rest in peace, cricket is far poorer for the losses this week.
wrote an article about Greig's death, which is behind the ****ty paywall
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
I hadn't realised he was ill either, and seems he all but died in harness - sad loss anyway, but the more so as I reckon he might prove to be the last of his line
Oh my God !!
This is a massive loss to the game. What a doyen amongst the game's writers was CMJ. They don't make them like him any more :o(
This is really sad. A great writer and commentator of the old school. A tragic loss.
WWCC - Loyaulte Mi Lie
"People make me happy.. not places.. people"
"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." - Samuel Johnson
"Hope is the fuel of progress and fear is the prison in which you put yourself" - Tony Benn
#408. Sixty three not out forever.
Shocking news. Had no idea he was even ill. RIP.
RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012
RIP Hughesy
Proudly supporting the #2 cricketer of all time.
Yeah, this really end of a line, now we just get ex-players and pro-trolls.
His first para in that Greig ObIt, looks quite telling now.
""Tony Greig died of a heart attack on Saturday. It was probably for him a merciful release because the late stage of any cancer is often hell on earth. So, for most, is the toxic treatment given to try to cure the disease, administered by wonderful health workers. That, Im sure, is much the same in Australia, where Tony, the impetuous enthusiast in a hurry, made his home since Kerry Packer barged his formidable frame through closed committee room doors.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.
Walt Whitman
Shame he's dead but personally I never considered him that good either as a writer or commentator.
Solid County standard when set against the Test level of Arlott, Johnson, Benaud and even Agnew and Atherton (plus many others).
Crap. This leaves only Henry Blofeld from my favourite era of Test Match Special.

Transportation in Edinburgh
Bus travel is an easy and cheap way to get around. The main bus stations are at St Andrew Square and on Waverley Bridge, just outside the railway station. This is the place to catch a tourist open-topped bus with entertaining running commentary. Airport services also run from Waverley Bridge. Day tickets for all buses save money and can be purchased on board.
Walking is a smart way to see Edinburgh's sights. The walk from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the other end of the Royal Mile takes around 20 minutes, and leads you past some of Edinburgh's oldest and most striking buildings. The main parts of the New Town are also easily seen on foot.
Edinburgh has no shortage of taxis. You can hail a black cab from the street (an orange light shows it's available for hire) or grab one at one of the many taxi ranks.
Rent your car
Several roads radiate from the centre of Edinburgh and there's a ring road around the city. To ease congestion, there are several park and ride sites in the outskirts. If you do drive into the centre, you should make note of parking restrictions, particularly time limits.
Transportation tips
A Day Saver Ticket gives unlimited bus travel around Edinburgh. A free bus travels between the National Gallery of Scotland, Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art every 45 minutes. Driving in Edinburgh is not recommended for the uninitiated – there are extensive one-way systems and the numerous parking wardens are notoriously strict. For comfortable travel to the airport, catch a Shuttle van from George Street or order a pick-up from your door.

Klymit Static V
Why sleep poorly anymore? Was searching for more comfort sleeping outside, was gonna buy the NeoAir until I saw this product by Klymit. $45 delivered to my door two years ago. Weight was as advertised. Yeah, you gotta blow it up, but who cares. Size of a Nalgene, 19 oz, $45, and 2.5 inches of snoozing joy! Full review
Klymit Insulated Static V
Overall, not bad. It packs up small and is very light. I weigh 210 and did not bottom out the pad in any position. It is very comfortable. The only issue I ran into was deflating the pad when it was time to pack up. Numerous attempts to get all the air out even with the valve completely open and unblocked. The temperatures I used this pad in were ranging between 5 and 15 degrees F over one week. Honestly, I could not tell a difference between this pad and my summer pad. I was using a very… Full review
Big Agnes Two Track
The best pad, period. Just attach it under the lid at the top of you pack, and you are good to go. A pad that keeps you warm down to -25 degrees. Comes with a repair kit in the stuff sack. Will need to blow a bit of air into the pad after it self inflates, especially if you've stored it in it's stuff sack. Used it recently in sub 40 degree weather, and had a Lafuma 35-degree bag zipped around my feet and then unzipped and draped over my body and I was very comfortable. To pack down to its smallest… Full review
Camp-Tek Microburst
I use this on a Therm-a-Rest NeoAir and have had zero problems and never did all the stuff described in another post. I just hooked it up, went to filter some water, and came back to a FIRM air mattress. I even have to let air out of my Therm-a-Rest to make it comfortable. I love it. Can't add much to what was already said. Full review
Big Agnes Insulated Air Core
Big Agnes Insulated Air Core is a very comfortable, rugged sleeping pad for car-camping as well as backpacking. Spending a bit more money on a high-quality sleeping pad beats cheap discount store sleeping mattresses in the long-run. I already threw out two queen-sized air mattresses on car-camping trips at a cost of about $70. Since I already own two Big Agnes Q-Core sleeping pads for backpacking, I decided to buy the cheaper, heavier Big Agnes Insulated Air Core for car-camping at a cost of $80. Full review
Exped SynMat UL 7
A comfortable compact mattress which is competitively priced, but let down by the stowage bag. I really like this mattress, it is cheaper than the Therm-a-Rest NeoAir, much more comfortable than my more traditional self-inflating mattress, and I got a really comfortable night's sleep on it. I would be happy to use it in all but the coldest of conditions in this country. Unlike self-inflating mattresses it needs to be blown up, which takes more time and effort. This may not seem like a big deal,… Full review
The Instaflator
Thanks, LoneStranger. I use the Instaflator and like it as well. I've been using the Instaflator for a while. Great when you've had a hard day at altitude where the air is thin and you just don't want to take the time and effort to blow up by mouth, especially for the 20+ puffs to blow up a wide/long pad. I also figure that mouth-inflating will introduce moisture from my breath to the inside of my pad, which over time will add weight, so the Instaflator probably saves its own weight, and possibly… Full review
Klymit Inertia XL Recon
Very light, very compact, minimalistic sleeping pad for someone willing to try something different. Here you can watch the review. Have fun. Full review
The Instaflator
Simple, easy to use, human powered tool for filling sleep pads or other inflatable gear. Packs light and small, no batteries required. Would probably work to inflate a pack raft, but definitely a great way to save some breath when making camp at the end of the day. My first reaction when someone here on Trailspace posted a link to The Instaflator was to laugh. Then I got to thinking about the advantages of not having to blow up my sleep pad manually and the idea didn't seem so silly. I ordered two… Full review

More than 60 years have passed since that dream was born.
"From that time forward," Crouch said, "I believed we would go there during my lifetime and the exploration of space was a new adventure I wanted to be part of."
Crouch, a former astronaut and 1958 graduate of Polk County High School, will tell the story of going into space at the special event to be held at the first Baptist Church in Benton on May 25. The Polk County Education Foundation has invited Crouch to speak at the scholarship fundraising dinner. He will be showing videos from his two space flights, also.
Crouch said he had tried for almost 35 years before he was finally selected by NASA to fly. Because he was colorblind, Crouch couldn't be a fighter pilot or a regular astronaut, but eventually, an opening came up that didn't rule him out — as a payload specialist.
Crouch was payload specialist on STS-83, April 4-8, 1997, and STS-94, July 1-17, 1997, and has logged more than 471 hours in space. STS-83, the Microgravity Science Laboratory (MSL-1) Spacelab mission, was cut short because of problems with one of the Shuttle's fuel cell power units. The mission duration was 95 hours and 12 minutes, traveling 1.5 million miles in 63 orbits. STS-94 was a reflight of the MSL-1 and focused on materials and combustion science research. Mission duration was 376 hours and 45 minutes, traveling 6.3 million miles in 251 orbits of the Earth. He trained as the alternate payload specialist on STS-42, the first International Microgravity Laboratory, which flew in January 1992.
"My story is —to a great extent — about persistence," he began. "I would like to make the point — for parents and young people — that children should be given the opportunity to experience frustration, rejection and failure while they are young."
He said if people look at a successful person such as Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King or Helen Keller, "we see that a successful person not only has persistence, but also can be rejected over and over," before eventually triumphing. He added that, even though frustrated by environment or circumstances and working through several failures, you learn from these experiences and use those lessons to make a more successful stab at their goals the next time.
"As lucky as I feel for having the opportunity to have gone into space, it was a milestone in my life rather than a capstone," Crouch explained.
He said he is extremely lucky, also, for having one of the most inspirational people he knows — his mother, Maxine Crouch, who resides in Jamestown. "She has a truly indomitable spirit," he said.
Crouch was born Sept. 12, 1940, in Jamestown and currently resides in Washington, D.C., with his wife, the former Anne Novotny. They have three grown children: Melanie, Kevin and Kenyon. His wife's mother lives in Marston, Md.
The former astronaut enjoys traveling, photography, sports, camping, hiking, fishing and whitewater rafting.
Crouch graduated from PCHS in 1958 and earned a bachelor of science degree in physics from Tennessee Polytechnic Institute in 1962. He received his master's of science degree in 1968 and a doctor of philosophy in physics in 1971 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
Crouch received the Distinguished Alumni Achievement from Virginia Tech in 1998; the Distinguished Alumnus 1997 from Tennessee Technological University; twice the NASA Space Flight Medal, 1997; the NASA Exceptional Performance Award in 1989; NASA Special Achievement Award, 1983; Certificates for Patents/applications 1975, 1985, 1986 and 1987; Certificates for innovative technology for eight years; and the Floyd Thompson Fellowship, 1979-80.
Retired from NASA and MIT, Crouch stays busy as a consultant, giving inspirational and informative lectures; and has served as liaison for Higher Education for the Exploration Systems Directorate and senior scientist for the International Space Station and the Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences, NASA-HQ.
His other activities include crew training, flight and postflight activities, lead scientist of the Microgravity Space and Applications Division, program scientist on five different Spacelab flights and he has helped organize and has served as co-chair for Microgravity Science Working Groups between NASA and space agencies from the European Space Agency, France, Germany, Japan, and Russia.
He was the founding co-chair of the International Microgravity Science Strategic Planning group consisting of these space agencies plus Canada, and was principal investigator on an experiment that flew in the Materials Experiment Apparatus on the D-1 mission in 1985.
Crouch was group leader and researcher for the NASA Langley Research Center from 1962 to 1985 and was leader of a research group investigating the effects of convection on semiconductor materials' properties. From 1977 to 1985, he was a principal investigator in the MSAD flight program.
He has done research in various techniques and types of semiconductor crystal growth, electric and optical properties of materials, electronic devices for remote sensing and flat panel displays, and heat shield protection for re-entry space vehicles. This research resulted in the publication of more than 40 technical paper and over 50 technical conference reports.
He is a member of American Physical Society, American Association for Crystal Growth, Association of Space Explorers and Sigma Pi Sigma, Kappa Mu Epsilon. He was a visiting scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979-80.
Crouch said he became a scientist because "it is sort of like being an explorer." He said you get to see things that others haven't seen before, explore areas that a new and unknown, seeks answers to questions that could have significant impact on others and perhaps even on the quality of life for everyone.
"I am still seeking ways to make a difference in the world and I hope that I can do something that will repay taxpayers for all the opportunities they have made possible," he said.
When he signs photos for people, Crouch says he often uses the mantra: "Work hard, play often and always follow your dreams."

The Word on the Street
It is very important that students learn more about the world and its globality. Students now and in the future will have technology in their hands that they can use to learn more about the international arena.
It was, for me, very important to learn that Oxford Schools is open to global education.

Okay, so I've caught up with this whole thread and with the series. I've recently started getting into Zombies this past year. I've watched all the "...of The Dead" movies by Romero and the 28 days/weeks later. The former reminding me of this series' introduction. I also loved Zombieville and Woody Harrelson's fine ass bubble butt playing in it. Can't wait for the interpretation of World War Z with Brad Pitt next year. Brad Pitt just doesn't accept whatever role, and I certainly didn't expect him to accept or play any Zombie-related movie. If it's anything like the book and with Brad in it, it WILL be good.
I've only JUST now caught up with TWD. Wanted to watch it since last year, but never got around to it. I've recently re-instated my Netflix account and saw they had the first season, so I had a marathon and loved it! Then I bought the first two episodes on iTunes and was all caught up by yesterday's new episode.
As someone in the first page mentioned, that poor horse! I watched through the end of the credits JUST for the AHA disclaimer that no animals were harmed! phew
Comments on the show; I love it. I'm in lust with Rick and sometimes Shane. I like how they keep it human. Someone on this thread mentioned it perfectly; Zombies are more of an afterthought and it's more about how people cope with an epidemic.
Last night's episode was pretty good. Can't wait to see how it turns out. For Rick's wife, I know you want to satisfy your sexual needs, but think about what you might bring into the world (in the show.)
Also, does anyone know where I can read/buy the comics? Reading this thread makes me want to read them more. It's like Manga, usually better than Anime counterparts.

This event, which is completely free, will feature games from the past, refreshments, a scavenger hunt, and live bluegrass music.
This is the second year that the Good Old-Fashioned Day has been held to promote the downtown Cleveland area and the Cleveland's Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum.
As well as a promotional tool, Good Old-Fashioned Day is held as a type of thank you from Cleveland to its citizens and the citizens from surrounding areas for supporting and being involved in Cleveland.
The Good Old-Fashioned Day is sponsored by the Cleveland-Bolivar County Chamber of Commerce's Team Cleveland and the Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum.
Many of the merchants downtown are also involved in the Good Old-Fashioned Day by donating food or money for the event like Moon Pies, cotton candy, hotdogs, popcorn, lemonade, RC Cola, and more.
The Farmer's Market will also be open for business that day in The Alley.
The Good Old-Fashioned Day will feature games such as hopscotch, dominos, horseshoes, croquet, and will also include the Downtown Scavenger Hunt for a chance to win prizes from participating merchants.
The games will be held on the Greenstrip downtown and the musical acts will be performing in front of the Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum, which will be open and running their train models throughout the day.
The musical acts will include The Bogue Phalia Band, Wildwood Flower, The Delta Mountain Boys, and Dan Bell with some of the Tuesday Night Pickers, who will be walking around downtown playing music as well as playing outside the Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum.
Although last year was a great success for the event and the downtown merchants, the sponsors are putting more into the promotion of the Good Old-Fashioned Day this year and hope to have an even better turn out than last year.

Sania Mirza Enters Doubles World Top Ten
September 19, 2011 by TMO
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
India's Sania Mirza on Monday cracked the top 10 in the women's doubles tennis rankings. Her singles rankings, however, slipped 17 places to 81. The top Indian women's player, who is nursing a knee injury, climbed a rung to the 10th position in the new Women's Tennis Association (WTA) doubles rankings.
"Woke up to find out I cracked the top 10 in the world… thanks each and everyone of u for the support and love all these years." Sania wrote on her twitter account. "Needed some good news to lift up spirits after this silly knee injury…hope to recover soon….
Mirza, and her Russian doubles partner Elena Vesnina lost in the third round of the U.S. Open last week. The pair had won two doubles championships this year, in addition to reaching the finals of the French Open. Mirza and Vesnina are ranked number four in the world as a women's doubles team. Mirza also won an additional women's doubles title last month with Kazakhstani partner Yaroslava Shvedova.
The top four women's doubles teams will compete in the WTA end-of-year championships. However, Mirza's knee injury may keep her out of action through the end of the year, which would force Mirza and Vesnina to give up their spot in that elite tournament.

Someone cracked a joke up front and I didn't hear that laugh. The kind of laugh that made me giggle all the way in the back even though I didn't hear the joke.
Small things that people do for us mean a lot and we don't even realize it until they are gone. My friend Renee Walker did that for me.
Renee spent an afternoon on her day off keeping me company when I was on maternity leave. That was awesome. I needed that more than she would ever know, especially since I was real nervous new mommy.
She always listened to my whining when everybody else had had enough. She would listen, even though she was probably fed up too but she still listened and tried to be sympathic. She taught me to listen ... really listen.
I lost not only Renee last year but also three other people dear to me and each one has special memories in my heart.
Caroline Ivy, a retired Bolivar Commercial employee, was as tall as a church mouse but had a personality that shined taller than the clouds. She always had a corny joke to tell or was playing a practical joke. She could make a craft project out of just about anything. She taught me to enjoy life as it comes.
Beverly Mixon, who I've known all my life, but didn't become friends with until she was working at the Hallmark store. She was a light, bright and cheery. She brought me through my wedding, and all my challenges I experienced with pregnancy. She loved to say, "I am your second mama!" when I would call the store to talk to the first. This emotional cheerleader knew there would be a baby and there has been. She taught me to believe.
And then there is my aunt, Pat Montesi. Most people thought my Aunt Pat was just a quiet person. She was sometimes, but when she did smile, you knew you were being smiled at. A caring woman who loved us all even if you didn't realize it at the time.
She lit a candle at church with me when my grandmother died and another in celebration of my new marriage. She stopped by to have coffee with me one morning after I got back from my honeymoon to check on me cause she said my Uncle Brother had been wondering if I was happy. She worried about her children and family. She wanted the best lives for us. She gave us gentle hugs and fussed at us when we needed it. She taught me to pray, in good times or bad and have a quiet strength.
I have come to realize all of us on this amazing earth have gifts we give to each other, without even knowing it. While writing this I think about all the gifts people around me give to me everyday. Maybe if we took the time to think of these special gifts, it would bring us some joy to our busy lives. As for me, I guess I'm luckier in life than I thought.

Urban Forests on Loose Leaf
Strengthening enforcement to protect our forests
by Loose Leaf Contributor
By Faith Campbell, Emeritus environmental advocate and tree-pest expert
As my earlier blogs have demonstrated, highly damaging, tree-killing insects are introduced to North America in crates, pallets and other forms of wood packaging material (WPM).
Since it was first detected in 1996, U.S. and Canadian authorities have spent more than $500 million trying to eliminate the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB). These efforts have eradicated ALB from Chicago, portions of the New York City metropolitan area, and Toronto. However, authorities are still dealing with large outbreaks in Massachusetts and Ohio; with an expanded outbreak on Long Isl... (Read More)

"These Miniature Super-Forests Can Green Cities With Just A Tiny Amount Of Space" —
We covered this a few weeks, but here's an in-depth look into the process! A startup in India has figured out how to soak up pollution and reduce floods for trees in cities. The founder, a young industrial engineer, Shubhendu Sharma, uses an intensive process of building nutrients three feet deep in the soil and carefully plotting out a mix of trees, so thick it's impossible to walk inside. He uses the concept of a multi-layer forests, ensuring that no two tress, once they grow big,... (Read More)
Forest pests: Where is the threat?
by Loose Leaf Contributor
By Faith Campbell, Emeritus environmental advocate and tree-pest expert
As I said in my previous blog, many damaging pests enter the United States by hiding inside wood packaging material (WPM) such as crates and pallets.
What types of imports pose the greatest risk of carrying unwanted insect pests in crates and pallets? Heavy items, such as machinery (including electronics); metals; and tiles and decorative stone (such as marble or granite counter tops). Indeed, more pests have been found in wood supporting tiles and stone than any other type of commodity in 24 of the past 25 years.1
Which parts of the country import the highest ... (Read More)
Shipping containers: Importing insect pests, too
by Loose Leaf Contributor
By Faith Campbell, Emeritus environmental advocate and tree-pest expert
Several of the most damaging tree-killing insects came to America as larvae riding in crates, pallets, or other forms of wood packaging material (WPM).
These include the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), emerald ash borer, and redbay ambrosia beetle. All entered the country since trade opened with China in the late 1980s. The ALB and EAB entered before our government had adopted effective measures to prevent pests from being transported in WPM.
Responding to discovery of the ALB, U.S. and Canadian officials worked with European and other counterparts to adopt an... (Read More)
Trees and Weatherization
by Loose Leaf Team
By John-Miguel Dalbey
The end of winter doesn't officially come until March 21, and as Winter Storm Wiley proved in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, cold temperatures and heavy snowfall can still trigger tree-related problems and fixes. This winter's major snow events, high winds and cold temperatures have many people turning their attention to "weatherizing" their homes from the elements.
Given rising heating costs, increasing home efficiency is both the cheapest and most sustainable means of doing so. An eco-friendly, low-cost way to weatherize your property is to plant a windbreak of trees around your home or, as mentioned i... (Read More)

Parks StandardsSeattle Parks & Recreation (SPR) Standards provide design and construction guidelines for Seattle Parks' facilities. These standardized requirements have proved successful during the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of Seattle Parks' facilities. These Standards are intended as a library of options for individual park design conditions. In certain situations additions, deletions or deviations may be acceptable if approved by the Parks Engineer and/or Construction Manager during the design review process. The Consultant shall verify that contract documents reflect use of the most current Standards. Documents are updated regularly. It is important to refer to this site at the start of each project. Do not carry over this information from one project to the next. The following documents are PDF portfolios containing copies of actual documents. These copies are intended for viewing and printing purposes only and are not to be used as part of the project contract documents. Consultants shall request original versions of the documents in MS Word 2007 or AutoCAD 2009 format as needed by emailing: email@example.com.
*Note: To view a PDF, you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download it for free at www.adobe.com. Updated
August 19, 2014
For More InformationBecky Rufin FAQ'sWhat makes up a PDF Portfolio? A PDF Portfolio contains multiple files assembled into an integrated PDF unit. In some cases we have created a Portfolio with one document enclosed to allow for future expansion. Several Portfolios contain folders which when selected (double click or right click>Open Folder) reveal contained documents. When within a folder a "Back" button will appear above the file names for easy return to the level above. What version of Acrobat Reader do I need for viewing PDF Portfolios? Version 9 or newer should show the file list correctly (a list of contained documents and folders above a preview pane of the currently selected document). Acrobat Reader 8 displays the list but may not display folders in the list, instead listing the all files from the folders at the same level. Older versions may open the first document on the list and show the rest as attachments. Follow this link to download the most recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. How can I see the enclosed documents listed on the side rather than at the top of the preview window? The default view can be changed by selecting Window>Split Vertical from the Reader menu bar. If your browser opens the Portfolio instead of Reader you may not have viewing options. DISCLAIMERThese Standards are not intended to supersede City/State/Federal laws or codes or generally accepted design practices of professional consultants. It is meant to be used on Seattle Parks' projects only. Seattle Parks shall not be held responsible if these standards are used for other purposes. If the Consultant identifies any conflict between these Standards and City of Seattle or other governing codes, he/she shall notify the Project Manager and seek a resolution, which complies with City codes and thereafter is acceptable to the Seattle Parks. |

Order Information
Women were outnumbered 25 to 1 in the Klondike Gold Rush. Thousands more followed their men's dreams to Alaska in the century that followed. This created the myth that Alaska was a "man's country." Not surprisingly, this idea came from men. In ALASKA WOMEN WRITE, women dispel the myth. They learn to fly, work on the pipeline, teach in the Bush, raft wild rivers, discover a love for sport-fishing, and tangle with moose and grizzly bears. These energetic, thoughtful, and very personal stories are written from the heart with passion, humor, self-discovery, and a love of the north.
"Many of the stories are funny; others are touching...no matter what the subect; the tales are all uniquely Alaskan." --Anchorage Daily News
THE WRITERS: Contributing stories to this collection are Linda Billington, Karen Brewster, Barbara Brown, Pati Crofut, Marilyn Forrester, Karen L. Heath, Molly G. Heath, Kathy Hughes, Janet McCart, Betty Monthei, Rosanne Pagano, Megan Rust, Stacey Saunders, Dana Stabenow, and Deb Wahrer.

Correct. Which makes skipping/ff/rw nearly impossible. Same response using Samsung remote and harmony.
Any improvemnt on the sluggish interface? Even if Sammy did realease an update, it's possible that updates to the 34 might improve performance. The reason I ask is that I'm about to pull the trigger on the UN46D6000S this week when the tax return comes. I'll still probably get it, but I'd feel better if I knew there was improvement.
Also I have another question: does the RVU protocol support 5.1 Dolby Digital for the client TV? If so, I assume it passes to a receiver with the television's toslink/optical connection?

Car Forums / Ford / Ford Edge
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Ford Edge Heads Up!!
A friend from work just picked up her EDGE SEL. Two days later she took it back to the dealer to have the remote start installed. On the way home her brakes locked up and the stabillity control indicator went nuts (flashing like a strobe light). Well after finally getting back to the dealership on the back of a tow truck, the dealer told her it wa the BOS (brake on/off switch) that as he claims they have had a problem with on the early production EDGE. The new ones have the problem already corrected. BUT.... of course no-one in the country has the part so she has been without her EDGE for almost a week! Might want to do some preventative maintenance and ask your dealer if your EDGE falls into the "early production" class and get the switch replaced.
Me, I haven't had any problems with my EDGE after 5K (knock on wood!!!). Only complaint is a rattle in the rear passenger side that I can't pin-point. Any body else have that issue?

stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,409Makes you wonder if it was really related to the install of the remote start - maybe the dealer screwed up and is just blaming the BOS?
Sounds like one to watch - if you hear a follow-up from her, please let us know.Moderator
Minivan fan. Feel free to message or email me - firstname.lastname@example.com. -
svofan2 Posts: 440Early production EDGE?....in July?....when the 08 are about to be released?....when you can not get an EDGE the way yu really wanted because there not so many available?....I smell a rat here...that is the reason why I believe those remote starters (as well as any other electronics)if they don't come from factory I don't want to know about...
staci01 Posts: 2I'm having the same problem regarding the rattle in my 2007 ford edge. It is the clips in the sunroof. I have had my car in twice to the dealer (we bought the car 6 weeks ago) and I have another appointment today for the same problem. They have already replaced the clips twice (broken) but as soon as you open the roof and then close it, the clips break. Our service advisor said it is a design defect. The rattle drives me crazy and it just seems to get worse.

Faulty premise there, though... Dish didn't drop the channels. AMC pulled the feed when the contract was up.
Dish said AMC wanted too much, AMC said Dish refused to negotiate. We only have AMC's "word" that Dish refused to negotiate... but we know AMC pulled the feed at the end of the month.
According to a recently former Dish Network employee, now working at a competing cable company that happens to be my client, Dish Network broke off negotiations weeks before the channel went dark, and there have been no negotiations since then.
Take that for what's it worth...this guy volunteered the information as part of a conversation about how Dish drives hard bargains with content providers. He offered no reason why the negotiations were ended and I didn't ask. He simply said "Yeah, and if they don't budge, <negotiator's name> will just walk away...look at AMC..."

Murray State University's Office of Environmental Safety and Health (ESH) investigates complaints about indoor air quality. Working with the Environmental Shop (HVAC), complaints are investigated and inspections are completed in an attempt to locate the source of the problem. Inspections are performed to insure that the building's heating and cooling systems are functioning properly. The Office of Environmental Safety and Health works to correct any problems, through repair or upgrades to the building, and by the education of building users. ESH does not enforce the no smoking regulations. Each individual college and building is responsible for enforcing the no smoking policy in their facility.

^Not really, as if knowing who he is (which, even with a name, I still don't) makes him more attractive than not knowing.
^Not really, as if knowing who he is (which, even with a name, I still don't) makes him more attractive than not knowing.
"As anarchism rears its face,
They are answered by an iron fist..."
He's a 10 for me.
Nope. I knew who he was. Still a 5 for me.
Not hating. Just not attracted to guys that look 16.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beautiful eyes in post #50.
gosh those eyes he gets a 10.
I can't tell. I can't see his penis.
Americans need to keep their guns so they can protect themselves from gun violence just like Nancy Lanza did. And like Chris Kyle did. And like Gabby Giffords did. And like Tom Clements did. And like Michael Piemonte. And Joseph Wilcox.
I endeavour to be accurate.

Can I give him a million out of 10? I just have a really large celebrity crush on Nicholas Hoult, so, you can't really fault me.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently...
Way too pretty for my tastes.
He's very pretty. I always thought he had beautiful facial bone structure-- love those high cheek bones.
I would rate him 8 or 9. Just based on his looks. He is very easy on the eyes.
Objectively I can appreciate that he is conventionally attractive and above average.
But he's never done anything for me. On how much he appeals to me personally, I'd say a 2 and I'm being generous.
5 - he's cute but does nothing for me.
all pics looked at and I would personally rate him a 3 in my book not that cute at all.
well, if todd is 9.5
thomas is not really my type, but i believe he can be very hot to someone else.
Wow I can't believe all the low rates!
I'll go with 10/12
I make my bed with the stars above my head and dream of a place called home.
7 or 7.5
10 characters
I think he's slightly below average in the looks department so I'd say 4. I do, however, see why others find him attractive, especially considering some of the roles he's played.
Very good looking! I d' say a solid 9
I give him a solid 7 but he can look 5ish sometimes. He's cute but meh.
I give him an 8 even though he is not my type but he is definitely cute.
I was going to say a 7, but then post #50 came up and I would now say a 9.
Too pretty for me, but I can see the appeal for others. I give him a 4.
Ya'll are being too generous.
I don't judge people based on their looks but dear lord he does not have to look like that
1 and a half.

text: Recently, when I have been getting incredibly horny, I have put on a jockstrap with a cup on the inside. The cup I use is a couple sizes smaller than I would actually use for practical reasons, and so is the jockstrap. This causes my un-erect dick to be trapped inside the cup, and it can't get very hard. I then lie on my stomach and press my crotch against a pillow or a bed/sofa (fully clothed) and watch porn. I am able to move my hips around a bit to somewhat stimulate my dick, and it feels great. I do this for a few hours at a time before moving on to actual masturbation. The result: a cup FULL of precum. It's the hottest thing in the universe. I just sit there collecting my own precum for hours. Anyone else do anything like this with collecting precum?

Most business professionals are now connected online via social services like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Xing but there are very limited options for companies to "network" to find industry partners. Cloudbridge Consulting, which focuses on the development of go-to-market strategies and channel development concepts for software, IT and telecommunications companies, decided to create a solution for the ICT channel and has developed Partnercloud, a dedicated social network for ICT channel partners.
Partnercloud enables hardware and software vendors, resellers, ISV's, system integrators and consultancies to promote themselves, their products and services, and their partnership opportunities exclusively to the channel community.
"Once we had developed the strategy, our challenge was to find a great solution," said Alexander Woelke, CEO of Cloudbridge Consulting GmbH "we quickly realised that off-the-shelf solutions would not work and that we needed to develop a specific networking platform to meet the ICT channel needs. Having researched various options, we met SITEFORUM and immediately knew that we had found the right technology partner."
The first social B2B-network for the ICT sector
Partnercloud.eu has now been live for a couple of months and features specific networking tools for the ICT sector. Hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecommunications companies can quickly make great use of the system. There are two membership types: free Basic Membership with a restricted scope of functions and Business Membership for a flat fee of 69 Euro per month for corporations.
The full range of social networking functions
Partnercloud offers a large number of fully-integrated tools on its high-performance Web 2.0 platform, including forums, wikis, groups, blogs, webcasts, chats, video conferences, feeds, surveys, virtual events and online exhibitions.
One particularly powerful feature is the Network Groups which have been specially enhanced for this site and are perfect for creating sub-communities such as Channel groups. Companies can create their own Network Groups which they can use for their own private communication and collaboration needs. Based on SITEFORUM's all-in-one Social Business Suite, the system is very easy to use.
Showtime for member companies
Partnercloud is about ICT companies (Cloudbridge Consulting checks all companies upon registration to confirm their ICT focus) and member companies can showcase themselves by uploading sales material, customer references and product demos including audio and video files about their solutions.
Optimal Searching
The site includes a capability profile for each company to help users find exactly the right companies. The capability profile is completed by each company and includes details of their main areas of expertise as well as strategic alliances already in place. This information is automatically fed into an external company catalogue and optimised for search engine queries.
A high-performance platform with no technology requirements
The SITEFORUM all-in-one Social Business Suite is a cloud-based solution providing a comprehensive set of social business tools on one integrated platform. SITEFORUM provides this as a complete managed service providing excellent site-performance and security including PCI-certification awarded by security specialist McAfee.
A Successful Start
Already more than 200 ICT companies and 500 individuals have registered with Partnercloud and Cloudbridge Consulting expects the number of members to rise by up to 1,000 companies and more than 3,000 individuals by the end of the year.
"The time has come for industry-specific social B2B-networks," said SITEFORUM CEO, Dirk Schlenzig. "Following in the footsteps of Facebook, Xing and LinkedIn, it is now time for projects like PartnerCloud to enable companies to network and collaborate. Using the excellent SITEFORUM platform, we have managed to start a new chapter in social networking for business."
To date, Partnercloud.eu has been available in German and English. Its corporate members are from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Cloudbridge Consulting intends to extend Partnercloud on a global scale. The company also intends to develop further social B2B-networks for other industries based on the SITEFORUM-technology.
