The news that Jon Huntsman was dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination triggered a flood of memories and thoughts about what it's like to run for office. Exactly ten years ago, I was embroiled in an intense campaign for Congress in Montgomery County, Maryland. Fearful about what the presidency of George W. Bush would mean for the country, in early 2001, I sought the Democratic nomination to run against Connie Morella, the Republican incumbent. Soon afterward, two well- known and well-regarded state legislators, Chris Van Hollen and Mark Shriver, joined the race. The quality of the candidates, including the moderate and popular Ms. Morella, generated an unusual amount of press and public interest. The Washington Post headlined its first front page story: "Shaping up to be an amazing race," and several others followed.."
I had thought about running for office for many years, and it proved to be an exciting, exhilarating and exhausting experience. I had worked in the Senate and the Clinton administration, but Shriver and Van Hollen were far better known than I was. We ran the campaign out of the basement of my house for a year before renting an office in Bethesda. I loved many aspects of campaigning—meeting voters, engaging in debates, plotting strategy, cutting TV ads. Being the clear underdog, I won some attention by calling myself "the overdog." My supporters greeted morning traffic holding up messages about the campaign, ending with me holding a sign "I'm Ira." I didn't love fundraising—who does?—but eventually raised $800,000 without any PAC money. By the summer of 2002, the local press reported that I had run a "great campaign" and had "come out of nowhere to make it a three man race."
I was thrilled when the Potomac Journal said my campaign was "the antidote to cynicism" that I had promised to deliver. The polls showed I had convinced Montgomery County voters that I would be a strong member of Congress. Unfortunately for me, the voters also thought Van Hollen and Shriver would be very good members of Congress, and many appreciated the fact that Chris and Mark had served multiple terms in the state legislature. Voters decided the race was between Van Hollen and Shriver, and I slipped to a distant third, as Van Hollen edged Shriver narrowly, and went on to defeat Rep. Morella.
When you pour all your energy into a political race, and don't win, it's terribly disappointing. But I couldn't find any cosmic injustice in losing to a great candidate who already had spent 12 years in the state legislature. I count Chris and Mark among my good friends, and I'm not surprised that Chris quickly emerged as a leader in the House and the Democratic party nationally.
I came away with a vivid sense of "what it takes" (Richard Ben Cramer's phrase) to be in politics. I was lucky that my wife loved the campaign and my children were grown. The consequences of having a campaign debt to pay off, and need to rebuild my law practice, proved manageable. But it is an extremely demanding life—not like most normal people's—and those who put themselves out there deserve our admiration, win or lose. I sometimes think about Jerry Brown, elected Governor of California in 1974, and returning to the office 36 years later, after being Mayor of Oakland and state attorney general. Brown is an extraordinary example, but most political candidates run for the best of reasons. They want to serve. They see it as the highest calling.
America needs good men and women who continue to feel that way. I worry about a political system that require candidates to raise three or four times more than I raised ten years ago. I also worry about a political culture that is so toxic, unforgiving and partisan that good people will be repelled from seeking office. When I ran for Congress, I was sure that I could accomplish important things if I got elected. Having watched Congress spiral downward in the last decade, would I still be sure now? In addition to strong candidates, we need functional institutions to give them a fighting chance to address our nation's problems if they are elected.
Because of my upcoming book, I am now part of the vast "chattering class." And thoughtful commentary and robust debate over ideas are fundamentally important to our democracy. But we should never forget Teddy Roosevelt's most famous statement:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Any time a non-kinship adoption takes place, you're dealing with a situation in which children are being treated like commodities. Whether agencies and lawyers are profiting (as they do in international and domestic infant adoptions) or state departments are (as in the case of children adopted from foster care and eligible for bonuses created in the Adoption and Safe Families Act), money is changing hands and a child is being sold.
Ever since adoption took off in popularity (around the 1950s in the United States), it's been all about supply and demand. When the demand began to increase (due to rising rates of infertility and social acceptance of adoption), social workers who had previously helped single mothers to parent began coercing them to surrender instead. Historians now refer to that time as the Baby Scoop Era, and things have only gotten worse since then. It's no surprise to me that everything up to and include price tags reflect which babies are most desired by the middle and upper class couples interested in buying them.

David Coulthard's contract extension with Red Bull Racing did not come as much of a surprise - team owner Dietrich Mateschitz has obviously been impressed with Coulthards efforts over the past three seasons.
And with the Scots rekindled working relationship with uber-designer Adrian Newey only a year old, the decision was pretty straightforward.
Here, Coulthard looks ahead to a bright 2008, reveals his thoughts on the arrival of Geoff Willis as technical director and discusses the impact an upgraded RB3 may have on the teams chances this season
Q: Now that your race drive for 2008 is secure, are you relieved?
David Coulthard: I knew about it already some months before and it was just a question of when would be the best time to make an announcement. Dietrich and I had a conversation some time ago where we verbally agreed that we continue. From then on, it was just a question of doing the paperwork again, but because I had the verbal agreement I had no reason to doubt it because he is a man of his word, which is a quite rare quality.
Q: It means its time to pull up your sleeves again and begin work for next year. What is high on the priority list?
DC: At the moment its to get the maximum out of this season snd simultaneously to make sure that we are well prepared for 2008. It is obvious that we are not going to win the championship this year - that is for sure - so everything that we do between now and when we start building the RB4 is to get all the ingredients together and get as much relevant information to the new recruits like Geoff Willis to get us the best development time possible.
Q: What is the state of the RB4? Has it already been designed?
DC: The concept is already there, of course, but aero design will not be ready till late this year, so it will be an evolving process. In fact, the car will be an evolution of the RB3 - with a hopefully successful modified aero package.
Q: Your balance sheet for the season looks rather lopsided - nine races and five retirements. You cannot be too happy about that
DC: No, definitely not. It is disappointing. We had to change the task for 2007 and look to the future by identifying the areas that fail and re-design them. We have been overtaken a little by Toyota and Renault (teams that we were in front of at the beginning of the year) and now we need to focus on the next development.
Q: Your fifth place in Spain gave a hint of what the RB3 is capable of on a perfect day. When will we see another such day?
DC: It is not impossible. But honestly, the top six places are fixed most of the time by Ferrari, McLaren and BMW. Then it is a question of who is taking over seventh and eighth place and that could be Toyota, Honda, Williams, ourselves - there are a lot of people trying to scrap for points so you need to find that half a second to make sure to challenge first Williams and also BMW. But in this business you have to be optimistic and critical as well, to look closely at the faults that came up along the way and learn from them. In some cases we simply have not learned fast enough.
Q: That brings us to the signing of Geoff Willis as technical director. What do you expect the team will gain from his input?
DC: Geoff and Adrian (Newey) have worked together in the past. I think there is good reason to think that he will add substantially to the development of the car in conjunction with the other designers and engineers. We need those kind of brains and we need to make sure that not everything is relying on one person - because a person needs a holiday sometimes and we have to make sure that the department functions. Willis was with Honda when they had their most successful time, finishing second in the constructors' championship, so let's give him some time to settle in and judge him on his efforts.
Q: But isn't his signing just another example of the inbreeding, which is becoming so prevalent in Formula One racing?
DC: It is such a specific business, so it is always a risk to take in new people from the aircraft industry as Formula One has its own special challenges. So what you tend to have is what you see - a bit of inbreeding - people going from team to team and it seems more than it used to be years ago. It must be fantastic to be one of those designers who have a disagreement with their company, then go on gardening leave for five months and then come back. As a driver you don't have that luxury. I have been in this business for 14 years - we do get a little time off in the winter, but that's all. The next time I have five months off it will be in addition to the rest of my life off.
Q: Red Bull Racing announced they would introduce a substantial upgrade for the Turkish Grand Prix. So what are the team hoping for at the European race?
DC: I have not seen it so let's wait till Turkey. All I hope is that it will add extra performance to the car and I really do hope that it is a big step forward because other teams will also introduce upgrades. My expectations for this weekend? I have an open mind, but based on the experiences of the past races it will be difficult to score points. It might work if we have a good qualifying, but otherwise it will be very close in the points area.

Dyson Question
Ok, I know that Dysons have been discussed ad nauseum! I've read lots of the back posts, but I have what I think is a simple question.
Are all Dysons the same vacuum (made to look different), and the difference is in the attachments? That's what I've "heard".
I want one that will clean my area rugs and my hardwood. One that will pick up the fur from my 6 cats and rabbit. Regarding the furniture, I pretty much just use a damp sponge, so am not sure that I'd use the attachment that comes with The Animal.
Is the All Floors going to suffice for me, do you think?
Dyson vacuum cleaners are going to be different when it comes to the model numbers. Example DC07, DC14, DC17, etc. But within each of those model numbers, you will find that they are basically the same, except for color and attachments included. If you look at the DC14, for example, you will have the DC14 Basic yellow and steel(all floors), DC14 Low Reach, DC14 Animal and DC14 Full Gear.
The "all floors" model will be fine for you, but which model number? There is an all floors for each model DC__.
While your researching the Dyson also try to find the Vacuum you will get after you are disappointed with the Dyson. With SO many negative responses and refurbs from returns, you would think people would get the message. If you do decide on one PLEASE wash your filters and replace the "lifetime" HEPA often or the machine will stop working. We get them every week to clean out.
lucky51 -- For all the reviews of the Dyson I read, there are a lot more happy owners than unhappy.
I have a Hoover Self-Propelled Windtunnel but I use a Dyson DC14 at a house I clean. For the most part I like everything about it.
-- Suction is excellent, especially when using the hose
-- Cord is extremely long
-- Simple and clean to empty
-- Very easy to push on low plush carpet (my SIL says it is harder to push on her frieze carpet
The only things I don't like:
-- It acts like it want to eat and destroy some rugs -- if you have alot of rugs, I would not get this vacuum
-- It makes a hissing sound when in the upright position (air coming out of the hose
But -- I still think it does an awesome job.
If you havent changed the Hepa filter, I would bet its not going as strong as you might think. Just for kicks, take the cover off that houses the hepa filter. Hold the filter in place with one hand and turn the machine on with the other. If the filter is hard to keep in place, then you need to change it. If you do change it you will notice that the new filter does not have a gasket while the old one probably does. They removed the gasket because dirty filters were actually breaking the motor housing. By Removing the gasket the machine is not a sealed system anymore. So is it True Hepa?
I got one of the very first Dyson cleaner sold in the USA (at the Terrance Conran shop in New York City). It's been 9 years. My premotor filter is washed once every six months whether or not it needs it. The motor in my machine is original and it still has all the suction it ever did. The only thing I've done is replace the belt (motor to clutch) which cost $2 and the brush roller which cost $10 (HESSCO.com). My Dyson works as well if not better than a brand new one.
When looking on Hessco.com I notice the new Hepa exhaust filter comes without the gasket, which they sell SEPARATELY. Apparently, when one buys a new Hepa filter, they also buy the $1.89 gasket, peel off the sticky backing, and apply it to the outside of the Hepa filter. MY Hepa filter is 9 years old, not clogged up, and still works like it should (NO dust escaping). I would never go back to bags again. I also don't buy paper towels for the same reason - I can wash kitchen towels like I wash out my Dyson.
Who wants to really store dirt in the closet, in a bag? That's why vacuums stink - the filthy old nasty dirty bag sitting in the dark warm closet. No thanks.
"Who wants to really store dirt in the closet, in a bag? That's why vacuums stink - the filthy old nasty dirty bag sitting in the dark warm closet. No thanks".
I do! I have used vacuum cleaners, that use vacuum bags, for years. Using a vacuum cleaner bag is not an issue for everyone. To date, I have not heard of any wide spread illnesses from using a vacuum cleaner bag. Or, storing the dirt-ladden vacuum cleaner in the closet.
Cleaning the pre filter is definitely a good idea but even so, the Hepa filter is on the exhaust and also captures carbon dust off of the motor brushes. So a filter that is 9 yrs old needs to be replaced to maintain proper airflow. Anyone that believes otherwise is only kidding themselves. Also, the gasket on the hepa filter isnt available from Dyson, the new filter comes without it for the reason I mentioned above. Of course this is just one persons opinion but I hate to see people be mislead.
Changing the belt on the clutch is no easy task, the average person probably cant do it, so you must be pretty mechanically inclined. The prices at Hessco seem to be cheap, although I couldnt find a company by that name. I did find Hesco and they dont carry any parts for the Dyson. Then there is Essco, but you have to be a dealer to buy from them. The average consumer will pay 3 or 4 dollars for the belt, 30 or 40 dollars for the roller and another 30 plus for the filter if it is genuine. But most wont be able to install either, so there will also be a labor charge involved.
Of course this is just one persons opinion, but I hate seeing people be mislead
We have the DC17 Animal and it think it does a nice job on rugs. I'm much less than impressed on hard surfaces. Alone the vac does a so-so job. There's a hard floor cleaning attachment included but the nature of the hose makes it very awkward to use.
I also have an Electrolux canister, one of the Oxygen series. Not as good for rugs but does a great job on hard surfaces.
I tried going to HESSCO.com and it redirected me to http://www.scriphessco.com/ - a medical supplies type company.
I would be very interested in getting to the site you purchased your Dyson parts on. I would like to replace the cannister on my original Dyson as I broke off one of the plastic pieces that holds the bottom on the cannister. When I went to the Dyson site, the price was more than I wanted to pay. I would be curious to know if your site is cheaper.
I love my Dyson Animal. I've had it over 5 years, no problems at all. I have the same filter that came with it. Most people that I know love their Dyson's so you can add me to the list. I always thought the certain models come with differnt attachemnts. I would buy another Dyson when the time comes.
My DH bought me the yellow DC14 for our anniversary (yes, I wanted it).
His quote: If I'd known that cat sheds that much I would never have let you get him!
I can't imagine how long I was vacuuming with my old vac with the bag stuffed full.
This is the 3rd Dyson in our extended family (DS, 2 SIL's) and we all love them.
Oh gosh, I'm about to reveal my ignorance. My husband bought us a Dyson Animal about 8 months ago. As a side note, I thought the instructions that come with it were horrible. Anyway, it said to clean the filter at least every 6 mos. When 6 mos. came around, I cleaned it as instructed although it didn't appear dirty. I'm assuming this is the HEPA filter you are referring to. What is the pre-filter?
I like a lot of things about this vacuum--especially its pickup on hard surface floors, but all in all, I still like my 12 yr. old America with the throw away paper bags.
The Dyson HEPA filter will not need to be cleaned regularly, but the premotor filter will. You did not mention what model you have, because the filters are located in different areas. The premotor filter is foam, whereas the HEPA is pleated. Some pre-motor filters are located above the dirtbin. The filter will have writing and/or image that says or means to "wash at 6 mos."

Waitress! what's this fly doing in my coffee?…
Seriously though this looks fantastic in colour. Well done!
Funny. Thanks, Rob. The colour is pretty basic- only solids with some lighting effects applied to each panel. There is four planes of focal depth in the top two panels though,
– Michael Lee
I noticed the focal depth variation. Very effective. Did it take long?
Longer than I thought. A few hours. ~4 hours.

Cowboys & Aliens, Universal's intended blockbuster for next summer based on a troubled comic book, has run into yet another problem: audiences think it's a comedy when seeing the trailer.
Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig in Cowboys & Aliens
Deceived by a title and a premise that many find inherently comic, potential viewers must now cope with a realization that [director Jon] Favreau wasn't kidding when he told fans at the Comic-Con International convention last July that he planned to mix a "by-the-book, right-down-the-middle western" of the kind once made by Sergio Leone and John Ford, with really scary science fiction, like "Alien" or "Predator".
The article goes on to cite the failure of the Wild Wild West remake as causing a change in plans for the film — which was originally intended to be more humorous, in the style of Men in Black, an action comedy — to feature a more serious tone.
Universal's got quite an uphill struggle here. I know I'd be more likely to see a movie with a sense of humor, but this seems instead to want to be boys' action, which bores me if there aren't some lighter touches. I'm not sure anyone is really looking forward to this, although it's a great premise, if handled appropriately.
Actually, Matt and I are both really looking forward to this, but we take for granted it's a guy film. But I like shoot-em-up guy films. :)
Not sure why people think it's comedy, either. Just seeing the preview, it's immediately apparent it's a suspense/action film. There isn't any humor or jokes. It cuts right to the action.
Of course, I think I'd see this just to get Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford in the same film. :D :D :D
I saw the trailer for this just before Harry Potter. It seemed like the crowd may have actually been digging the trailer, showing some fun stuff without digging too much into the premise. But at the end of the trailer, when the name was announced, everyone laughed at the name of the movie.
That's when I knew it was doomed.
That's an interesting clarification of the response, rather like what happened to M. Night Shyamalan with Devil — people were into the idea until his name came up on screen. Ah, the vagaries of marketing.
The problem with Wild Wild West was not that it was a comedy. The problem was that it was *terribly written.* I think that is the first film I ever walked out of, at the pleading of the person I saw it with.
What's really too bad is that the had all the pieces there to have done a good job, script aside. It's odd that Universal would want to dredge up that parallel.
To combat the perception that it's a comedy they should add a scene where Al Swearengen shows up and calls a dinosaur a cocksucker.
I think people would have to be a little slow to watch that trailer and conclude it's a comedy.
Yeah, my reaction is much like Rivkah's, in that I'm not sure why people are thinking it's a comedy. The title's a bit funny, I suppose, but I certainly didn't notice any jokes or comedic bits in the trailer. Guns and explosions, yes. I plan to see it, because I love Westerns and they aren't exactly thick on the ground these days (though not even that scarcity could get me into Jonah Hex), but I'm certainly not expecting Men In Black Go West. That doesn't seem to fit at all.
I think the title alone gives the impression this is a comedy. I saw the preview at the theater and people were laughing. And not with it…more at it. As for me, I'll see just about anything that Harrison Ford is in. Although Indy 4 did shake my faith in him just a tad. ;)
It's the title. When naming a piece of work, things like this should be considered. What sort of expectations would people have had if LOTR was called 4 Hobbits And Some Taller People? I must say that I'm actually disappointed if they didn't do it with comedic elements at all, not even dry comedy, but went with the Alien/Predator route. I guess I just don't see the point. We have loads and loads of generic some-group-of-people vs nasty aliens/monsters movies. Why would you want to go there? You have premise that's inherently silly and such an opportunity to make a fine dark comedy. Something unexpectedly subtle. And they just want people against aliens. It's disappointing. I guess I'll just have to hope it'll be unexpectedly layered and that your two leads live up to their name.
"Cowboys and Aliens" is not the only preview that garnered a laugh that I thought odd. So did "Little Red Riding Hood", which I thought was a pretty decent preview.

Looks like Kimmy is really enjoying motherhood — all parts of it! The reality star and brand new mom is reportedly loving her new life — diapers, breastfeedings, and all.
Kim Kardashian once tweeted her disgust for a woman who was publicly breastfeeding in 2010, but the new mom probably sees where that woman was coming from now! It's been just over a week since Kim and Kanye West welcomed their baby, North, into the world on June 15, and the 32-year-old reality star has reportedly loved every second.
Kim Kardashian Obsessed With Motherhood
Kim has taken to motherhood with real fervor, a source tells TMZ. The new mommy reportedly actually looks forward to her feedings with North, and she doesn't mind changing diapers either!
"She does it all," says the source, who also doesn't fail mention that Kim's breasts have swelled to a G cup since giving birth.
It's an amazing turnaround and probably a great feeling for Kim to actually enjoy motherhood, after saying that she would rather slit her throat than be pregnant on a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Kanye West As A Dad: His 'Softer Side'
She's not the only one cannonballing into parenthood. A source close to Kanye tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that being a dad has brought out a whole new side of him. "Everybody's about to see a softer side of this guy," the source said, adding, "He's emotional. He's a new dad so that's to be expected."
The source also revealed that Kanye cuddles with baby North and even sings lullabies to her!
We can't get enough of how cute these two new parents have been since having their baby girl. North is clearly so loved and adored, there's no question she's going to be raised in an amazing environment.

@Alicia you do realize that some babies don't like to be covered up while nursing don't you as for the woman that changed the kid at the dining table maybe she didn't know were the bathrooms were in the restaurant so she had to make due. highly doubt Kim is breastfeeding she strikes me as too vain and insecure to put her child before her own selfish needs one of the tabs reported that Kim had hired a wet nurse because she didn't want stretch marks and later on teeth marks on her breasts from nursing

Kim and Klan loves publicity makes a load of money from it and yeah have a very public life , but she is stil human , and even though she can be a fake sometimes because most of the episodes have a script so they're like acting mostly.I believe having family like her's who keep her grounded , speakes volumes , I've seen her with Mason and Penelope , whom she adores , is it then not suffice to say she will love her own baby to the bitter end , people who crit obviously have not experienced the love for your first born child , it's an experience that is like no other and you will never be the same ever again. Everything you do after , plans you make , fears you realise , will revolve around the life of your child/children their happiness and safety will be your top most priority, else your just inhuman and should be shot :) That child will be loved to bits , by her Mom and Dad , Granma Kris and Bruce and the rest of the clan , believe it or not those people have reall love they are not afraid to show it good or bad…tv show or not…

Some people have so much hatred in them that they can never see anything good in another. What Kim has done to all her critics is what nobody knows. They just dislike everything about her. Those always referring to the so called sex tape, did she deliberately produce that tape and brought it to the public? Was it not her previous husband who did that? Didn't she go to Court for that to save her reputation? Didn't Court award her some damages for the injury to her image she suffered? Please, people, stop being too judgmental. You people should examine your own private life first and see the rot in you than crucifying Kim all the time. You are no better than her. Just leave her alone and mind your life. Congrats Kim, I love you for sure.

What a load of verbal garbage Tess. She is nothing more than a lying thief and a hussler. she has milked every opportunity to line her pockets at any expense. shes previously stolen from employers ripped third world countries lied cheated milked charities and has done nothing for the community. she is a disgraceful example of humanity.

First of all I agree with Kim on that incident that she tweeted about, that is just nasty to not cover up while breastfeeding in public and even worst to change your kid on a table in a restaurant where people are eating? that is so disgusting an inconsiderate, she had a right to be disgusted, she didn't say she was disgusted by the breastfeeding but by the lady having no cover up and the woman changing her childs diaper, which is just gross. Why are people acting like Kim would not adjust to motherhood? she had two baby sisters and a neice and nephew, she has changed diapers, burped babies, rocked them to sleep and on and on so it's not new to her, I don't see Kim being anything less than a good mother, she is a sweet and loving person and I can't imagine her not showering her kid with love, stop the dumb stories.

Case | HBS Case Collection | November 2014 Oasys Water: Balancing Strategic Partnerships & Financing Decisions Ramana Nanda, William A. Sahlman and Sid Misra Oasys Water had developed a proprietary water treatment technology based on an innovative Forward Osmosis process that could remove dissolved solids from water more effectively and efficiently than existing technologies. As Oasys looked to scale, it was exploring partnerships with various incumbent firms: the most serious were with a set of international oil & gas production companies (IOCs), a global oil and gas (O&G) services provider called National Oilwell Varco (NOV), and Woteer, a Chinese EPC company specializing in industrial water and wastewater systems. Woteer had expressed an interest in gaining exclusive access to Oasys' forward osmosis technology for water treatment applications in China in exchange for an equity investment. Matheson did not have the luxury of choosing a partner solely on the merits of its strategic value to Oasys. He was forced to evaluate the strategic benefit alongside the likelihood of actually closing a deal, the specific terms of each deal, and especially the speed with which a deal could be closed, given Oasys' pressing financing needs. Should he do a deal with Woteer, and if so, on what terms? Keywords: entrepreneurial finance; entrepreneurship; finance; strategy; Entrepreneurship; China; Citation:Nanda, Ramana, William A.

If the book is keeping is optional, then we need a way to make it optional as well. What do we do in the other options scenarios? Kevin's original idea sounds fine to me if that is how we are chosing to handle such things. James

Elkhart University is a former school of medical and dental laboratory technologies. It was founded in 1882 in Elkhart, Indiana by Dr. H. A. Mumaw as a proprietary school.
The University was fully accredited by the Indiana Commission for Post Secondary Proprietary Education, and graduates of the medical laboratory technology curriculum were eligible to take the American Medical Technologist Registry examination.[1] It closed in 1986. The University went through several name changes before it closed. It was called "Elkhart Business University" in 1882, "Elkhart University of Medical and Dental Technique" in the 1950s, and "Elkhart Institute of Technology" in the 1960s. [2] In 1917, Dr. Mumaw, the founder of the University, sold the institution to Mr. Ira Elliot, who was the president until 1938. Financial difficulties caused Elkhart University to close down after operating for 104 years.[3]

"I don't think Natalee was too concerned about setting an example as much as she was about just being herself. She was more just like, "this is me, and if you don't like it, then that's too bad." She was a little bit more outgoing than everybody else. She was just always a fun one to be around. And she was always laughing and having a good time. She had all these, like, figurines of like "Wizard of Oz" characters and stuff. And like paintings and everything, which I mean I guess that was her thing. Beau remembered being at the bar with Holloway that night, and wondering how it could have turned out differently. "It's always in the back of every body's mind. The chaperones are not to blame. They weren't there to hold our hands. By no means should this be put on them at all. " "There were days, just wake up -- I don't know -- around like 10:00 -- and then just go hang out on the beach all day long. And if you wanted to, you could take a cab into the city and go look at the shops and stuff like that. If you wanted to, go hang out in the casino." "We who went on the trip didn't know what to think when Holloway failed to show up for the flight home to Alabama on May 30. Initially it was just disbelief. I wondered if they could have done more to make sure Holloway got back to their hotel safely. That's something you don't need to dwell on because you can't turn back time." |
"They found her bags in her room with her passport and cell phone and were instantly concerned," said Katie Henley. "She said no one wondered about her whereabouts sooner, because the students were spread around the sprawling resort and often camped in each others' rooms." "Natalee's Miss Itinerary, if she knew she was going to miss a flight she'd freak out. It's just not like her. When she wasn't there, we knew something was wrong." |
There was almost a fight between my friend and him (Joran). I had to break them up. That's when I got a good look at them. I saw Joran and the Kalpoe brothers hanging out at the Holiday Inn. They, Joran and the Kalpoe brothers, were the first people I considered as potential suspects. That was the first people (Joran and the Kalpoe brothers) who came to mind. Van der Sloot got into a scuffle with some of the Mountain Brook guys at the bar. I broke it up. It was outside the Carlos 'n Charlie's the second night we were there. |
This was a highly controversial offering from Bryan Reynolds regarding an altercation a couple nights prior between Joran and Natalee's cousin Thomas Twitty. Since it is reported that Joran did not meet any of the Mountain Brook teens until the might of May 30, 2005 who exactly was Bryan Reynolds speaking of?
"I don't know a person that just doesn't like Natalee. She's not mean to anyone. She's just an outgoing, beautiful, just nice girl that everyone is missing and ready for her to come home. It's hard, but it's also just a reminder that we just have to keep praying for her. And the more we can do here, it just makes everybody feel so much better." |

Shahid Khan approved as Jags' owner
IRVING, Texas -- Shahid Khan was 16 when he moved from Pakistan to the United States to attend the University of Illinois.
While hanging out in the basement of his fraternity house, he began his American dream of owning an NFL team.
After building a multibillion-dollar company, Khan started working toward spending some of his fortune on fulfilling that college fantasy. He reached out to owners such as Wayne Weaver of the Jacksonville Jaguars to learn the business from the inside, and for them to get to know him.
Khan's dream-turned-plan crossed the goal line Wednesday. He joined the fraternity of NFL owners as his purchase of the Jaguars from Weaver was unanimously approved by the other owners.
The deal is for an estimated $760 million. The ownership transfer will be complete Jan. 4.
"What I want to share with the Jacksonville fans is: Here I am, reporting for duty and ready to serve the fans. Let the fun begin," Khan said with a smile that never left his face during a 20-minute news conference.
The 61-year-old Khan is the league's first minority owner. But that's not the only reason he stands out among his 31 peers. There's also the prominent mustache he's fancied since 1972, a trademark that he joked enables him to leap tall buildings and "do things I didn't know I could do."
Then again, what he's done to get to this point is pretty remarkable.
Upon graduating from college in 1971, Khan went to work at Flex-N-Gate as an engineering manager. He left in 1978 to start his own company, Bumper Works, and two years later bought his former employer.
Now his privately held company is a major manufacturer of bumper systems for pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles built in North America. Revenue last year topped $3 billion, and Khan is believed to be a billionaire himself.
He tried buying the St. Louis Rams last year, coming close enough that the league had done its homework on him. That helped speed along this sale.
The deal was announced in late November and the league's finance committee formally approved his bid last week. When the agenda item came up Wednesday, there wasn't a single question or dissenting vote.
"I think that's a good sign," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said. "It's certainly an endorsement of his ownership."
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones called the Jaguars sale bittersweet because the league is bidding farewell to Weaver. However, Jones praised Khan for his "commitment, his passion and his skill."
"(Weaver) was a real asset to the league, but he did it right and he really brought a very qualified person to the table in Mr. Khan," Jones said. "It takes some skill to come from where he came from to be where he is today. You add that to your (NFL) ownership group, and we've gotten better. ... The more people we can have sitting around those tables in there that have wanted it real bad, that have a paid a high price to get in, and have a vision of how to grow the pie, the better the NFL will be. "
To Jacksonville fans, the biggest questions are his commitment to keeping the team in their city and to turning around a franchise that's struggling in the standings. He made it clear that he's passionate about both.
"This is a partnership, really, with the fans," Khan said. "I am committed obviously to the rebirth, the reinvigoration, doing whatever it takes to put a winner on the field to make Wayne and the other Jacksonvillians proud."
He will be in Jacksonville this weekend to start meeting with fans and sponsors. He and Weaver also will discuss the process of hiring a new coach; Weaver fired Jack Del Rio on Nov. 29, the same day he announced the deal with Khan.
The Jaguars were chosen as an expansion team in 1993 and began playing in 1995. They were a win away from the Super Bowl in their second season, and have made the playoffs five times since, as recently as 2007. They also have hosted a Super Bowl.
"It's been a great 18 years," Weaver said. "But it was the right time. ... I really feel great about handing over the stewardship to Shahid and to finishing the job of bringing a championship to Jacksonville. ... I'm leaving it in good hands."
In other news from Wednesday's meetings:
• The league renewed its television deals with CBS, Fox and NBC for nine years through the 2022 season. The average rights fees from the three networks will increase by an average of 7 percent annually, a person familiar with the details said. That will take the total revenue from them from the current $1.93 billion per year to $3.1 billion by 2022. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the figures were not made public.
"The thing that I'm most proud of through these deals is that we'll continue to be on free television, working with our networks to expand the interest in our game and bring more football to more fans," Goodell said.
• The league is putting together an investment fund that will pool money from the owners.
"The aim of that is to invest in various technology companies that we think are doing great things that will make our world better, but also the experience in the NFL," Goodell said. "They may or may not be NFL partners. They may be people who provide technology in our stadiums, as an example, on our fields, part of media. So we will look at those different technologies. We will have a committee that will be making those decisions, and we're very excited about it."
• The league is putting more money into a program that helps build and renovate stadiums because they are becoming more complex and more expensive.
"We had to adjust our policy to participate in these projects and to support these projects, both at the club level and the league level," Goodell said. • Goodell also addressed the league's willingness to suspend players for on-field actions, as evidenced by the two-game penalty against Detroit's Ndamukong Suh for stomping on a player and a one-game punishment against Pittsburgh's James Harrison for a concussion-causing hit on Cleveland's Colt McCoy.
"I think we've been very clear about our commitment to player health and safety, and to what happens on the field," Goodell said. "The rules apply to 32 teams and every player. If it becomes necessary to discipline, we have a discipline schedule that is approved with the NFLPA. It does hold out that suspensions, particularly for the offendant, are likely to occur. We want people to conform with the rules. It's in the best interest for all players, and we will not relent on that."

Kayakers found Delilah's body nearly an hour after she disappeared, it said.Search and rescue crews found Alberdi on Sunday, about a quarter mile north of where they were first told he went into the water, according to LouAnne Kincaid, a spokeswoman for Caldwell County.Catawba County officials reported 10 swiftwater rescues for residents needing help getting out of their homes and vehicles Saturday afternoon, said Mark Pettit, an emergency official in the county.Some 52 roads in the inland county had been closed at that point, six of which might not see any traffic for as long as three months, according to Pettit. Lincoln County -- which is just south of Catawba County and about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte -- saw 8 to 10 inches of rain in 12 hours, county emergency management spokesman Dion Burleson said.First responders had done as many as five rescues by late Saturday afternoon, Burleson said, though things appeared to be on the upswing. The spokesman said the water rescue operation had been demobilized because waters were receding.More from usLaGuardia runway reopens after Delta flight skids off itFederal judge shot in apparent robbery attempt in DetroitPowered by Livefyre

GIF a Little Bit
By Matthew Burnside on October 7, 2011
Give a man a GIF and he laughs for awhile. Give a man an entire website dedicated to GIFs and he laughs endlessly until placed in a mental help facility*.
Make your way over to GIF.TV to view a mega-kujillian** different GIFs at random on an old tv screen. I've linked to Q and Deanna Troi winking into the infinite for all of you Next Gen fans. Click on the remote to randomly jump to a different one.
*I'm checking myself in right now.
**I made up a number because I have no clue how many GIFs they have collected. Judging by the submission link at the bottom of the page, I'd say there will never be enough.

I spent hours on that site last week. Missed an entire day of class, time well spent.
Looks like a fun site. Kinda disappointed that I don't see a GIF of Weird Al from UHF when I click on the picture. Guess I'll have to go find that one myself. I guess it's just random as far as what comes up.
What an absolutely wonderful way to waste time when you should probably be doing constructive……Oh who cares!!! I'm going back for more!!!
Probably the best website ever! Spent an hour pretending to work

Well I guess I don\'t have to spend the wekeend figuring this one out!

The Magicians by Lev Grossman
Please join us for an exciting conversation about this bestselling, entertaining and mesmerizing book by Lev Grossman, on November 17!
Amazon.com review:
Mixing the magic of beloved children's fantasy classics (from Narnia and Oz to Harry Potter and Earthsea) with the sex, excess, angst, and anticlimax of life in college and beyond, Lev Grossman's Magicians reimagines modern-day fantasy for grownups. Quentin Coldwater lives in a state of perpetual melancholy, privately obsessed with his childhood books about the enchanted land of Fillory. When he's admitted to the surreptitious Brakebills Academy for an education in magic, Quentin finds mastering spells is tedious (and love is even more fraught). He also discovers his power has thrilling potential--though it's unclear what he should do with it once he's moved with his new magician cohorts to New York City. Then they discover the magical land of Fillory is real and launch an expedition to use their powers to set things right in the kingdom--which, naturally, turns out to be a much murkier proposition than expected. The Magicians breathes life into a cast of characters you want to know--if the people you want to know are charismatic, brilliant, complex, flawed magicians--and does what Quentin claims books never really manage to do: "get you out, really out, of where you were and into somewhere better. " Or if not better, at least a heck of a lot more interesting.

Willys Hurricane F-head I4
The Willys F4-134 Hurricane was an inline-4 piston engine and powered the famous Jeep CJ in the CJ-3B, CJ-5, and CJ-6 models. It was also used in the Willys 473 and 475 pickups, wagons, and sedan deliveries. It replaced the Willys Go Devil engine which was used in the Military Jeep and other primeval Jeep-based models like the Jeepster.

One of few remaining Willys not prefabricated into a drag racer. Small size and light weight prefabricated these a favorite in the sixties. More photos from the Pioneer Auto Show museum in Murdo, South Dakota.

The indentations on the side of the body, where the driver would get in, shows that the primeval CJ-2′ s used the same tub as the MB war Jeep, that being where the pick and shovel fitted on the war Jeep.

text: LerrynIf Lostwithiel is the gateway to River Fowey Valley, then halfway down the estuary and hidden away up its own stunning creek, Lerryn is its gem. Pronounced "Ler-in" the name is Cornish for "waters" and it is the constant coming and going of the tidal river that gives the village its appeal and its ever changing scenery. Nestling at the head of the creek at the tidal limit, the village is surrounded by miles of wild, dense woodland and forest downstream with farmland and meadow upstream above the medieval bridge. Well hidden from the tourist trail, the stunning village spreads itself around both banks of the Lerryn Creek with a central village green beside the waterside which commands views downriver to seemingly endless and uninterrupted forest and creek; inspiration to writers, artists and all who visit. Kenneth Graham based Wind in the Willows and the tales of Ratty and Mole on the riverbanks here, overshadowed by Ethy Manor (Toad Hall) high on the hillside above the village. Years later, "simply messing about in boats" is still a big part of the village life with the ebb and flow of the tide seeing plenty of lazy rowing, leisurely canoeing and the chugging up and down the estuary by locals travelling downriver to Fowey by boat. The river has been bridged here for over 700 years and the current tiny arched stone bridge has survived since 1573. The view straight through the village and onto the forest clad creek beyond is a stunning introduction to a village that really can't be matched in Cornwall for its peace, tranquillity and beauty. Linking both sides of the river at low tide is a span of stepping stones which disappear into the waters as the high tide comes flowing in. Wildlife includes a healthy population of ducks, geese and swans in the village with deer, heron, kingfisher, egrets and buzzard as you head into the woods and away from habitation. Hidden in the woods below the river are miles of superb walking alongside uninhabited creeks and inlets that reveal superb panoramas of the estuary and wildlife. There are former mills, Victorian standing stones and even the overgrown remains of a former ornate garden where a crumbling fountain, plinths and monkey puzzle trees can still be spotted merging into undergrowth now overtaken by natural woodland. FacilitiesCentre spot of the village is the welcoming Ship Inn, a haven for thirsty and hungry visitors with a varied and quality menu. You can enjoy a beer in its lively locals bar, relax in the sunny beer garden or, if you want the full vista, take your drink down onto the riverside to watch the sunset over the creek. The village shop meanwhile provides sandwiches and cream teas on the village green, the perfect spot to relax after a days activity in the River Valley. Lerryn is a small village and we know all the owners of the accommodation available here. Look through our Accommodation pages for information on some of the fantastic and peaceful places to stay in the village. It all gets booked up fast in the main by those that stayed here in previous years, but there are some fantastic B&B and Self Catering options most right on the riverfront with views to die for without even getting out of bed! Staying in Lerryn gives you the best of everything the area has to offer with a real chance to relax in an unspoilt, unhurried and inspiring location.

Two District Men Sentenced to Decades in Prison
For 2010 Murder in Southeast Washington
-Third Defendant, the Gunman, Earlier Pled Guilty, Sentenced to 25-Year Term-
WASHINGTON – Chamontae A. Walker, 36, was sentenced today to 40 years in prison and Corey D. Yates, 23, was sentenced to a 24-year prison term on charges stemming from their participation in the murder of a man in Southeast Washington, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. announced.
The defendants, of Washington, D.C., were found guilty in August 2012 of charges in the murder of Darrel Hendy. The jury verdicts followed a trial in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
Walker was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder while armed, conspiracy, acting as an accessory after the fact, and assault on a police officer. Yates was convicted of second-degree murder while armed and acting as an accessory after the fact. Both men were sentenced this afternoon by the Honorable Thomas J. Motley. Upon completion of their prison terms, the defendants will be placed on five years of supervised release.
A third defendant, Meeko S. Carraway, 20, also of Washington, D.C., pled guilty in February 2012 to second-degree murder while armed and has been sentenced to a 25-year prison term.
According to the government's evidence, on the afternoon of Sept. 25, 2010, Walker met with his close friends Carraway and Yates at a house in Washington, D.C. At the time of the meeting, Walker was upset after an argument with his then-girlfriend and believed that the relationship was over. During this meeting, Walker expressed feelings that Carraway and Yates were now his only friends, and that someone needed to die.
A short time later, the three defendants traveled together to a high-rise building in the 800 block of Southern Avenue SE, where they targeted the victim, Mr. Hendy, 29.
Upon seeing Mr. Hendy's vehicle, Yates made a statement that they should "suit up." Walker, Yates and Carraway entered an apartment in the high-rise building, where Walker gave a nine-millimeter pistol and ammunition to Carraway. Shortly thereafter, the defendants left the high-rise building together, intent upon locating and killing Mr. Hendy. They saw him in a parking lot across the street on the Maryland side of Southern Avenue.
Carraway made a statement to Walker to the effect that he was about to shoot Mr. Hendy in the parking lot. Walker, however, instructed him not to shoot Mr. Hendy at that time because there were cameras in the area. A short time later, Mr. Hendy crossed Southern Avenue, back into the District of Columbia, and began walking in the direction of the high-rise.
Recognizing their opportunity, Walker and Yates began to follow Mr. Hendy. Walker, in the presence of Yates, gestured to Carraway to approach Mr. Hendy from behind. At about 3:45 p.m., in the presence of Walker and Yates, Carraway approached Mr. Hendy from behind and shot him multiple times. Mr. Hendy died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.
On Sept. 28, 2010, an arrest warrant for first-degree murder was issued for Carraway. Walker and Yates assisted him in traveling to North Carolina in hopes of avoiding arrest by law enforcement.
In announcing the sentences, U.S. Attorney Machen praised the detectives, officers and crime scene technicians who worked on the case from the Metropolitan Police Department, as well as the deputy marshals from the U.S. Marshals Service who aided in the investigation.
He also acknowledged the efforts of those who worked on the case from the U.S. Attorney's Office, including Witness Security Specialists David Foster, Katina Adams, and Debra Cannon; Victim Advocate Marcia Rinker; Paralegal Specialists Cynthia Muhammed, Kristy Penny, and Marian Russell; Legal Assistant Charmonique Price; Litigation Technology Specialist Joshua Ellen; Criminal Investigator Tommy Miller; Criminal Analysts Shannon Alexis and William Hamaan, and Michael T. Ambrosino, Special Counsel for DNA and Forensic Evidence Litigation. Finally, he expressed appreciation to Assistant U.S. Attorneys Emily A. Miller and Sharon Donovan, who prosecuted the case.

San Marco Catholic Elementary School in Woodbridge will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a school blessing mass, and a dinner and dance, this April. Students, staff, alumni and the school community are welcome to share in the festivities, reminisce on the school's history and look forward to its future.
San Marco Catholic Elementary School first opened its doors in September 1987 at its temporary location on Islington Avenue in Kleinburg. The school originally provided a Catholic education to students in junior kindergarten to Grade 7, who were bussed in from nearby Woodbridge. The school's first principal was Mr. Joe Collins. In the fall of 1988, the school was relocated to its current building at 250 Coronation Street, Woodbridge.
Mrs. Rotundo-Vergura is the current principal, and the school offers specialty services including: core resource, reading recovery, a hearing centre and an ISA Centre.
San Marco Catholic School offers many extra-curricular activities for students including: an eco-Club; Luke 4:18, a social justice group; a choir and band; a dance/fitness team; radio Maria and several sports teams.
The Catholic school council is very active and supportive of school endeavours, and enjoys leading community building initiatives, including assisting with the 25th anniversary commemorations. Most recently, it also fundraised for and provided up-to-date computers and monitors for the school's computer lab.
San Marco CES is a Catholic community of faith that provides quality learning for students in Grades JK – 8, in a safe and caring environment. It has dedicated staff, students, and a parent community that make for a vibrant, successful and enjoyable school.
The school invites former staff, alumni and the school community to attend a blessing mass, to recognize 25 years in the community, on Tuesday April 24, at 10:45 a.m. in the school gym.
The school is also hosting a dinner and dance at Veneto Centre in Woodbridge on Friday, April 27, starting at 6 p.m. Tickets for this event are already sold out.
