A Clear-eyed Look at the Higher Education Funding Gap
Sometimes defining a problem can be the most critical step toward developing a solution. While that may not be the case in the effort to secure funds to sustain the quality of Virginia's public colleges and universities, defining the problem in a manner that citizens can understand is indispensable.
Over the past few months, we have been developing a clear definition of the cost of education. Because the arithmetic is simple and the logic is based on goals articulated by the Virginia General Assembly, we believe that the new information can help us address the widening gap between what is needed and what is currently available.
Some years ago, the Virginia General Assembly began to set statewide goals for funding institutions of higher education. Included are the goals of paying faculty members 60 percent of the average salaries of their peers at comparable universities, providing 30 percent of the financial aid needed by Virginia students and, of course, paying staff members – like all state employees – adequate salaries. This thinking was further advanced by the deliberations of the General Assembly's Joint Sub-Committee on Higher Education Funding Policies. After studying the funding allocated to our educational missions, the bipartisan group of legislators arrived at a so-called "base adequacy" amount needed by each university to operate its core academic programs.
When the costs associated with these goals set by the state are totaled, the College of William and Mary needs approximately $119.3 million annually to operate its core academic programs. This year, our allocation from the General Assembly and revenues from tuition and other sources provide only $97.9 million. This leaves a funding shortfall – as defined by the state's own guidelines -- of $21.4 million.
— If the funding gap were eliminated, each year we could award an average of $2,100 more in financial aid to qualified Virginia undergraduates.
— Instead of ranking at the state goal of 60th percentile, professors' salaries now stand near the 23rd percentile of faculty salaries at comparable institutions. Because of this, an exodus of talented professors to other institutions has begun.
— Our library has been forced to cut its purchase of new books by 6,000 volumes per year.
— Approximately 55 percent of the College's teaching facilities are in poor or very poor condition due to the lack of funds for on-going maintenance.
The true cost of the shortfall to our students is fewer classes, larger classes and, ultimately, increased time to earn a degree. To the Commonwealth, the cost is longer term. It can be measured in the diminished and delayed contributions our students and faculty make to the Virginia economy.
Filling the funding gap is critical to our ability to maintain programs benefiting all Virginians. In 1980, state appropriations provided 42.8 percent of William and Mary's budget, and tuition and fees for undergraduate Virginians amounted to $1,076. Today, the state provides only 18.7 percent of our budget and, as a result, tuition and fees for undergraduate Virginians have climbed to $6,430. The direct relationship between these two sets of figures is immediately discernable.
Every public college and university in the Commonwealth suffers from the budget gap, and some are substantially higher than William and Mary's $21.4 million. The plain fact is that someone must fill the gap, and the choices are few. The state can appropriate additional funding, or students and their parents will be forced to pay higher tuition.
As the budget makers in Richmond begin their work, I hope that they will direct some serious consideration to filling this gap over the next few years. If the state decides to pay 40 percent of the educational costs as they did less than a generation ago, then tuition can be kept low. If the state continues to contribute less than 20 percent of our budget, then our only way to maintain the quality of our campuses will be to increase tuition. Thanks to the new definition of the cost of education, the choice is clear.

We stayed at Serenity in October. We were two families with a total of 6 children and four adults. The home was PERFECT!!!!!!! We had the 2 single beds put into the Master which is where the 4 teenage boys slept. They enjoyed having their own space, fridge, t.v and plenty of room in the huge closet to unload their golf attire:) My husband and I shared the Jack and Jill bath with the 11 yr old girls- a perfect set up when you want to be in close proximity to younger children through the night. The other couple enjoyed their private suite and bath on the main level. To be honest- none of the adults minded giving the kids the master because the only place we wanted to be was in the outdoor living area:). We LIVED out there. The kitchen, TV and fireplace makes you feel like a movie star! There was so much to do. All of us became addicted to Pickle Ball and the ping pong and basketball were played constantly. The older teens and men golfed every day and Serenity was in a great location as far as getting to and from some pretty awesome courses. Grocery stores, restaurants and entertainment we're all very close by- and we loved cooking in the spacious, beautiful kitchen. It was above and beyond all of our expectations. Last but not least, Don (the homeowner) was so great! We had a couple of questions about the hot tub while we were there and he was readily available to answer any questions and handle whatever needed attention. He obviously loves his home and it shows in the way he encourages his guests to contact him for anything! Thank you Don! We had a wonderful time!

Llamas are subdivided into two types: the medium coated Curaca and the short coated Ccara. They are devoid of hooves and their foot consists of two toes with soft pads. They were native to the Central Plains of North America but migrated to South America around 3 million years ago.
As of now, the llama population in the U.S. and Canada is around 25,000. In South America, that number is around 7 million. They can carry up to 25% of their body weight.
I find it interesting the way that llamas communicate with one another. They make a humming sound or even communicate by their posture and body language. They use their ears and tails especially. During their breeding season, they make a distinct orgling sound.

If you are out and about in Twickenham this summer, or even Richmond why not take the family out for a yummy Greek meal. Here is a review done by Francesca of EatInTwickenham fame who visits these fine eating houses and reviews the food. Her discerning taste is eloquently conveyed in the video and quite frankly it makes me want to get right on over there and order what she's having!
Be sure to watch the White Swan review too, I ate there on my last visit and the food was yummy…I had the sausages and mash.
The setting too is quite gorgeous, especially on a hot summers day!

Further confusion broke out today (Wednesday) over possible deals on pensions as two unions – Unison and GMB – said they were "back on track" with a deal in local government, but Unite appeared not to be. And Unite general secretary Len McCluskey issued an "action alert" to the union's members stressing that no deals had yet been done.
Unison said this afternoon that "A timeline and set of principles that provide a positive framework for negotiations on the local government pension scheme is back on track" after the withdrawal of a letter from Tory local government secretary Eric Pickles. This had tried to introduce new limits on pension costs. A new letter has been issued which, the union says, provides the basis to proceed to negotiations.
Unison said the "the principles have been jointly agreed by the Local Government Association, Unison and the GMB."
That list notably leaves out Unite, a major union in local government. Unite has said no decision will be made about lifting its suspension of the heads of agreement in local government until 2012.
Unite leader Len McCluskey has sent a circular to members which says, "you will have read over the past few days of 'deals' being reached between government and the joint unions over the future of the schemes affecting millions of public sector workers. This is simply not true. Despite the rhetoric from government ministers, no 'deals' have been concluded in any of the schemes."
He adds, "negotiations is all three schemes [local government, civil service, health] has been extremely frustrating and with government refusing to lift its impositions on RPI/CPI, contributions increases and an increased state retirement age, very difficult at best. Whatever the outcome of actual detailed negotiations, if and when these finally start in the new year, it will be you, our members that will decide whether any deal is indeed acceptable."
Unite says its key meeting will take place on 11 January.
Amid the confusion, two issues stand out: firstly the government has offered nothing on absolutely key issues of work longer, pay more and get less. And some of the so-called improvements (such as over accrual rates) are linked to other changes that may actually worsen the overall result.
Secondly, instead of miring themselves in talks which accept the broad outline of a deal and mean strikes are called off, the unions should call more action now. There ought to be another strike at least as big as 30 November's in January.
As the PCS union has pointed out, nothing significant has changed in the talks since before the strike and it's time for more action.
The unions which are rejecting the "heads of agreement" deals must now work together and make a clear call for more action.
Activists, reps and executive members all have to push for this. While some union leaders flounder now is the time for the rank and file to mobilise

Out of sight, out of mind: Don't ignore potential problems with your basement or foundation. A professional explains why it's best to be proactive.
Contractors say homeowners with this trait are the most satisfied with home improvement projects.
It's easy to do, but forgetting your crawl space can have plenty of negative consequences for the rest of your home from poor air quality to high energy bills.
Angie's Answers
Where is the home located, what is the exterior wall construction and type, how is the space heated?
It could be a whole host of different scenarios that would generate that result. It is nearly impossible to tell but I would say that most basement moisture problems are a result of bulk moisture intrusion or condensation issues.
Given the deep and hard winter this year, it could be a condensation issue that hadn't previously been shown.
Basement Waterproofing reviews in Adair
He suggested lining the pump barrel with stones and leaving the top open so that water could filter down through the stones and into the barrel instead of only through the opening at the top. He also supplied me with a length of flexible hose to extend the exterior pipe so that water would drain well away from the house.
Mr. was professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The work was well done and they even cleaned up afterwards. The price was less than others for the same work. I have already recommended him to my neighbor who came by to ask about having the work done. He spoke with Mr. and inspected the work to his satisfaction.
The office called and confirmed out date a few days out and repeated the info that our sales person had given us to prepare the basement for them to work on.
The crew arrived right on time. They spent the first part of the morning protecting the rest of the area from the dust the process would produce and covering our floors. They worked hard all day and finished the first stage right on time. They returned the next day (right on time) and finished the job. Since the work that they have done, we have not had one drop of water in the basement. I wish we would of found them YEARS ago!
They were a great value and were so nice to deal with.
He clearly explained the details of the job, including the materials to be used, from beginning to end. He and his team were punctual and completed the job on time. There were some issues that they ran into as they began the work, and Christian called immediately to apprise us of the problem and how they would proceed. The job was neatly done and everything was cleaned up after them. I called Christian with questions before, during and after the job, and every time, he graciously spent time with me addressing every concern or question.
We were impressed by Christian's concern for the welfare of his workers. The original day the job was scheduled turned out to be one of the days that the temps were around zero and wind chill was below zero. Christian called me to ask if we could reschedule because he wanted to avoid having his men going in and out of the cold all day in their shirtsleeves, Of course we agreed. It's nice to see someone treat their employees with respect!
So overall, it was a great experience to work with . We have already recommended him to our next door neighbor and, oh yes, his price was the best of four estimates that we received!
We called and they had an estimator, , come out to review our property within a few days, even though they were overwhelmed with calls. The price quoted was fair and either in-line with or below the other three estimates we received. The scope of work ensured we would never have an issue again.
The work was scheduled for late Feb. 2015 but we were able to move it up a week due to other people cancelling, which was easy to schedule with . The crew came and completed their work in two days even though there was a storm inbound (winter 2015...).
All in all, a great experience and I'd highly to anyone having basement water issues. They'll solve them for good.

Little more than a month ago I took my CPL class, after which I started discussing getting a new gun for carrying with my wife. My wife's dad is a gun nut to the extreme, so imagine my surprise when she says she's never been shooting. I had always assumed (I know, never assume) that her dad had taken her. So we borrow a couple of dad's guns and head to the range.
She's not bad and we had fun. A week passes and she asks me to take her to a gun shop . She ends up picking up a DB9. We take it shooting and more fun is had, but her little gun has issues.(My wife's DB9's morning at the range.) We take it in, and the gentleman sends it back to Diamondback under the warranty. All is well... except she ends up bringing this little beauty home.
And she is already researching her next gun!! Two new guns in as many weeks! I'm loving it except they are her guns, pink and purple, and if she keeps it up she's gonna have more guns than me soon and that's not fair!! I have to spend all of my money on bills!! On a positive note, in the two weeks she's had the DB her attitude has gone from it being a "toy" to have fun with (safely of course, she's not stupid), to her telling the guy at the shop we took it to that she can't have it failing when she "might need it most". Might be another trip to the CPL classroom in the future.

Click thumbnails for expanded view.

- Quantity Available: 1
Late eighteenth century American tallcase movement, dial, seatboard, weights, pendulum with the dial engraved "Simon Willard, Grafton" and the pendulum engraved "Warranted By Simon Willard, Grafton, 1780 For Eldbridge Gerry". This is an eight day duration movement with engraved dial, phases of the moon, seconds hand and calendar. There is no case as it obviously was lost in storage at some point in time. The weights seem to be filled with buck shot or pebbles and are correct Simon Willard type weights.
Dial 12" by 16 1/2" (approx.)
Everything appears to be in original condition. The moon wheel has a little restoration from a few spots where the paint flaked. This has not been done recently. The movement is complete and will run and strike. This has been in storage for quite a while. The name Eldbridge Gerry on the pendulum is of a Massachusetts luminary of the eighteenth century.

5.25" Avocado Fruit Clipper, Zenport model H325 The Avocado clippers from Zenport Industries are made of forged stainless steel and used primarily by growers for harvesting avocado. This Avocado clipper tool is designed for rapid, high volume harvesting of avocado and is also used by growers for harvesting other fruits. The avocado clipper has an anvil cutting action with the two sharp blades cutting against each other's faces, as opposed to a bypass cut where the two blades of a scissors cut past each other
Harvesting avocado fruit presents the challenge of first reaching the fruit and then finding ways to harvest it without damaging the fruit skin.
Avocado fruits can dangle from a tree 20 to 40 feet up and the fruit drop only when they become overripe. The avocado stem is tough and hard to break. Commercial growers use avocado clippers such as Zenport H325 and bags to catch the avocados. The bags cushion the fruits and keep them from bruising. Pulling the fruits from stems can leave holes in the fruit skin and making the fruits vulnerable to rot. The commercial growers harvest the fruit close to fruit tops using the hand clippers.
The California avocado industry recognizes that fruit quality plays an increasingly important role in the competitive avocado marketplace and therefore requires critical attention. Growers and marketers have always associated fruit quality with clip harvesting to provide high quality fruits. The clipping motion is such that the blade fits into the stem close to the fruit skin, cutting the stem off as close to the fruit as possible without damage to the fruit. The leather strap attached to the clipper allows the picker to attach the tool to his finger instead of putting the clipper down after each use.
Length: 5.25 inches
Leather strap included

Federalist Society
The Federalist Society logo, depicting the silhouette of James Madison's bust
Type | Legal |
Purpose | To promote the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.[1] |

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies, most frequently called simply the Federalist Society, is an organization of conservatives and libertarians seeking reform of the current American legal system[1] in accordance with a textualist or originalist interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. The Federalist Society began at Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, and the University of Chicago Law School in 1982 as a student organization that challenged what its members perceived as the orthodox American liberal ideology found in most law schools. The Society asserts that it "is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be."[1]
The Society is a membership organization that features a Student Division, a Lawyers Division, and a Faculty Division. The Society currently has chapters at over 200 United States law schools and claims a membership of over 10,000 law students. The Lawyers Division comprises over 30,000 practicing attorneys (organized as "lawyers chapters" and "practice groups" within the Society's Lawyers Division) in sixty cities.[1] Its headquarters are in Washington, D.C.. Through speaking events, lectures, and other activities, the Federalist Society provides a forum for legal experts of opposing views to interact with members of the legal profession, the judiciary, law students, and academics.[1]
The society was started by a group of people including Edwin Meese, then Professor Robert Bork, David M. McIntosh, Lee Liberman Otis, Spence Abraham, and Steven Calabresi. Its membership has since included Supreme Court justices Antonin Scalia, John G. Roberts, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.[5]
The Society looks to Federalist Paper Number 78[6] for an articulation of the virtue of judicial restraint, as written by Alexander Hamilton: "It can be of no weight to say that the courts, on the pretense of a repugnancy, may substitute their own pleasure to the constitutional intentions of the legislature.... The courts must declare the sense of the law; and if they should be disposed to exercise WILL instead of JUDGMENT, the consequence would equally be the substitution of their pleasure to that of the legislative body."
Its logo is a silhouette of former President and Constitution author James Madison, who co-wrote The Federalist Papers. Commissioner Paul S. Atkins of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission considered Federalist Society members "the heirs of James Madison's legacy" in a speech he gave in January 2008 to the Federalist Society Lawyers' Chapter of Dallas, Texas. Madison is generally credited as the father of the Constitution and became the fourth President of the United States.[7]
The Society's name is said to have been based on the 18th-century Federalist Party;[8] however, James Madison associated with Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican Party in opposition to Federalist Party policies borne from a loose interpretation of the Commerce Clause. The Federalist Society's views are more associated with the general meaning of Federalism (particularly the New Federalism) and the content of the Federalist Papers than with the later Federalist Party.
This section requires expansion. (June 2011) |
Federalist Society members helped to encourage President George W. Bush's decision to terminate the American Bar Association's nearly half-century-old practice of rating judicial nominees' qualifications for office. Since the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the American Bar Association has provided the service to presidents of both parties and the nation by vetting the qualifications of those under consideration for lifetime appointment to the federal judiciary. The Federalist Society alleged that the ABA showed a liberal bias in its recommendations.[9][10][11] For example, while former Supreme Court clerks nominated to the Court of Appeals by Democrats had an average rating of slightly below "well qualified", similar Republican nominees were rated on average as only "qualified/well qualified." In addition the ABA gave Ronald Reagan's judicial nominees Richard Posner and Frank H. Easterbrook its lowest possible ratings of "qualified/not qualified".[12] Judges Posner and Easterbrook have gone on to become the two most highly cited judges in the federal appellate judiciary.[13]
Notable members[edit]
Notable members of the Society have included:[14]
- United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (who served as the original faculty advisor to the organization)[15]
- Supreme Court Chief Justice John Glover Roberts, Jr.[citation needed]
- Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito
- Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
- United States Circuit Court Judge Priscilla Owen
- United States Court of Appeals Judge Thomas Griffith
- United States Court of Appeals Judge Edith Clement
- Former United States Assistant Attorney General Peter Keisler, a co-founder of the Federalist Society
- Former United States Court of Appeals Judge Robert Bork
- Former United States Attorney General Edwin Meese
- Former United States Solicitor General Theodore Olson
- President Pro Tempore of the U.S. Senate Orrin Hatch
- President of Baylor University and former independent counsel Kenneth Starr
- Former U.S. Senator and Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham
- Congressman Dan Lungren
- Former Texas State Representative and Dallas lawyer Bill Keffer[16]
The Society also has many prominent libertarians who are members and frequent speakers at Society events, such as:
- Professor Richard Epstein of the New York University School of Law[17]
- Professor Randy Barnett of Georgetown University Law Center[18]
- Bradley A. Smith, a professor at Capital University Law School who formerly served as Chairman of the Federal Election Commission[19]
- Roger Pilon, Director of Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute[20]
Other members include:[citation needed]
- Former United States Ambassador to the European Union C. Boyden Gray
- Columbia Law School Dean David Schizer
- Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff
- University of California, Berkeley law professor John Yoo, who received a Bator Award from the Society for "excellence in legal scholarship and teaching"[21]
- Former United States Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton
- Justice Scalia's son Eugene Scalia
- Former general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget and of the Department of Homeland Security Philip Perry
While not necessarily members, several figures in the public eye have written for Federalist Society publications:[22]
- Shawn Mitchell, a Republican member of the Colorado state senate
- Hans A. von Spakovsky, a commissioner of the Federal Election Commission
- Shannen W. Coffin, general counsel to Vice President Dick Cheney
Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts was reported to have been a member of the Society, but Roberts's membership status was never definitively established. Deputy White House press secretary Dana Perino said Roberts "has no recollection of ever being a member."[23] The Washington Post later located the Federalist Society Lawyers' Division Leadership Directory, 1997-1998, which listed Roberts as a member of the Washington chapter steering committee.[24] Membership in the Society is not a necessary condition for being listed in the leadership directory.[24]

Price: New $
The Wilson Tour series of racquets continues its evolution with this latest nTour Two offering. Wilson's nCode technology combines with two new technologies, nFoam and Double Hole. The result is greater comfort at impact and a pleasingly solid feel off the strings while both racquets retain very similar overall playing characteristics to previous versions. We found a solid blend of power and control from this racquet from all areas of the court. There's still a similar level of control that we liked in previous version, but the overall feel of the nTour Two is slightly more dampened. At net the nTour Two offers a solid response with good maneuverability. Thanks to its even balanced design, the nTour Two swings with good mass from the baseline, making it a great choice for a player looking for a solid playing racquet that's still easy to get around. Spin and pace come easily on serve and we found a predictable response both on flat and spin serves. Stronger intermediate to advanced level players will find this one has a lot to offer from all areas of the court. Recommended for players at the 4.0+ level.

In this edition of The Watch List we look at two potentially tasty outfielders, a possible holds goldmine, and two minor leaguers who are blocked, but are primed and ready for the second half of 2008 no matter where their address may be.
Shin-Soo Choo:
A real hidden gem in Cleveland, Choo has been given the opportunity to be Cleveland's right fielder vs RHP and over his first forty-odd at-bats has grabbed his chance with both hands. He is a career .301/.388/.460 hitter in the minors, and he also has a forty steal season under his belt. Definitely worth a pick-up as your last outfielder as I don't think he'll be hush-hush for much longer.
Jed Lowrie:
During July, Lowrie should be a staple of your watch list. There isn't a whole lot for the Red Sox to gain by keeping him in Triple-A, so (in my opinion) it'll be either Lowrie or Lugo traded. Nearly every team in the majors could use an infielder who slugged .500 last season, so Jed could end up anywhere. If he gets traded, and especially if his team says they'll be using him at shortstop, run, don't walk to waivers and snap him up.
Jose Veras:
If you are in a holds league and are looking for a speculative pick-up, have a look at Jose Veras. On the 8th and 10th of June he was given the eighth inning, and looks to be good enough to win and keep the job. He is a converted starter (like most top relievers), and since moving to relief he is averaging about 10 Ks per 9 innings. Also (even though Triple-A saves are normally given to go-nowhere veterans) he has two twenty save seasons under his belt at Triple-A, so the Yankees obviously like him in pressure situations.
Jason Kubel:
His April and May are best forgotten, but he looks ready to blast off in the tiny June sample so far. In 2008 he is sporting a promising fly-ball percentage of 42%, and a reasonably disappointing BABIP (for him) of .272. Home runs and higher average are just around the corner. Make sure you only start him against RHP and he should be a sweet addition to your team.
Justin Ruggiano:
Here's a real speculative name to throw out there, a player who seems to be a quality hitter, but is blocked by everybody and their monkey in Tampa Bay. Minor league stats of .307/.396/.508 scream "give me a chance", but so far opportunities have been limited. If Tampa Bay gives up on the non-sexy non-platoon of Hinske and Gross, Ruggiano is a name you want to know. Last year he had a 20/26 year in Triple-A while hitting .309/.386/.502.
Daniel Wilson is the future winner of the Cafe's Cold Stove League and the rest of the league knows it. Daniel is also very modest about his fantasy prowess. You can catch up with Daniel in the Cafe's forums where he posts under the name of AussieDodger.

Team principal Flavio Briatore has already conceded that Renaults 2009 title dreams are over. For a two-time world champion like Fernando Alonso that might be a bitter pill to swallow, but the Spaniard is a professional to the core and will deliver whatever his car will allow - even though his hopes for this weekend arent high
Q: How was todays free practice for you?
Fernando Alonso: Today the soft tyres were a little disappointing, as usually they give you a quite good first lap, which was not the case today. In our case the prime tyres seem not only to be better for the race, but also for qualifying. But we are not sure yet, and we will double check this tomorrow. We might use the soft tyres in the beginning, and leave the prime tyres for Q2 and Q3. We will also observe the other teams decisions tomorrow, and make hopefully the right choice.
Q: No KERS in the car today. How satisfied have you been with the balance?
FA: Today we did not get too stressed out on the set-up, as the track evolution was very big during the session, and tomorrow we will find some time to increase the performance of the car, which I hope that we are able to, as with similar fuel loads the car will be not very competitive.
Q: Here in Turkey we have three long straights and there were expectations that you would test KERS. Why is this not the case?
FA: Well, this is always a team decision, and we always try to decide what is the best for the different circuits. Yes, you are right that we have some straights, but also some high-speed corners, where the weight distribution is very important.
Q: How different is it compared to last year with slick tyres and flatter wings?
FA: There is not much difference compared to last year, as I would say the loss of downforce is compensated with the slick tyres and the increase of the grip. We can pretty much see this in the lap times, and they did not change too much compared to last year.
Q: So how would you sum up this Fridays practice overall?
FA: I think it was quite difficult for everybody, as the track conditions are very slippery, as we saw some cars going off the track. From our side we tried to concentrate on the tyre evaluation and some new parts we have introduced here.
Today it was quite windy, and especially in Turn 1 it was a disaster. And tarmac is the same for everybody, and very difficult here, as some corners are physically very demanding. So for Sunday to sustain 60 laps will be hard, and you have to be very fit.
Q: How do you see your chances for tomorrows qualifying?
FA: Pretty much the same as in the last races. Considering the track conditions we have to avoid making any mistakes.
Q: The R29 - where do you think you are with the development of the car?
FA: Basically on the same level as in the first five races. We have not introduced any major update here, so it will be a very tough weekend again. Maybe somewhere between position eight to ten for qualifying, which is not perfect.
Q: You have mentioned that you are worried about the future of the sport. What in particular worries you?
FA: It is the fight between the teams and the FIA, what you can read everyday in the newspapers. We, the drivers, all have contracts with the teams, and if they should decide to leave Formula One this will be not easy for us. So I hope that this matter will go into the right direction within the next few weeks and that we are able to find a solution.
Q: What is your feeling about Renaults future?
FA: In the times of an economic downturn it is not easy for big corporations in the field of the automobile industry. And, as you know, we will not have ING as a sponsor for next year, so we cannot have too many fights on other things, as this makes it much easier for the car manufacturers to find a reason and an excuse to leave Formula One.
Q: There have been some talks about you going to Le Mans. Is this correct?
FA: Well, I have never been there or raced an endurance race before, so I am very curious. I have a very good friend there, Antonio Garcia, who won last years GT1 and was in karting with me. He offered me the invitation to join him, so I will go.

Philly.com – NORTHEAST-born and -bred Val Keil is Playboy's Miss August. "I don't think there's been a centerfold in black-and-white in a long time, so I'm honored to have that," Keil told me, in an unmistakable Philly accent. "It makes me look so glamorous!" Keil, a 2009 graduate of MaST Community Charter School, decided to send her pictures to Playboy on a whim, telling herself she would be a Playmate of the Month or nothing at all. Playboy flew her out to LA, and weeks later she got a call from the mag saying that Hugh Hefner liked her pictures and he wanted her for the August centerfold. Before making the move to LA two months ago, Keil worked at the Torresdale Frankford Country Club, XFINITY Live! and Reedy's Tavern on Frankford Avenue, where she'll be Saturday from 2 to 10 p.m., signing copies of her issue and headshot and hanging with locals. "A lot of people say, 'Where does your accent come from?' I don't think it's that strong," Keil said. "It's simmered down a little bit since I've been in LA. But if I have a strong accent, I don't want to lose it."
Gotta love a girl with a can-do attitude and a thick Philly accent. Well, you don't. But you kinda do when she's a certified 10 who gets flown out to LA to hang with Hef in the Playboy Mansion based on a few pictures. That's heat. When the greatest horndog mind in history flies you to the mecca of beautiful women to make you a centerfold, it's pretty clear you're doing something right.

my gf and i had sex using a condom. now her vagina is iritated and soar on the inside in the bottom and ithing on top inner top of the vagina. can this be from the condom or what could it be?
I thought I was allergic to latex, but it turns out that it is the spermicide that causes the unbelievable irritation on my delicate vaginal area. Through trial an error, I have figured out several brands that work great with no irritation but recently used a brand known for it's larger sizing not realizing they are actually made by the same company I have learned to avoid at all costs.
I would suggest trying Lifestyles or Durex brands as those never give me any irritation issues.
I have the same fucking problem .. i need some help cuz dis shit is crazy
November 4, 2012 - 8:13pmi use a condom last night during sex then when i woke up this morning i have white blotches/ spots on the inside of of my vagina could this be an allergic reaction to the comdom or something else?? im very concerned someone plese help i need answers.
October 5, 2011 - 8:51amHi Anon,
This doesn't sound like an allergic reaction but you do need to get seen by your Gynecologist. Honestly, it could be something as harmless as fatty deposits but you don't want to take the chance of it being a vaginal infection or an STD.
Please keep us posted,
October 6, 2011 - 6:45amI think I'm having the same problem but I'm not really sure.
I don't know I'd it's necessarily itching. I feel like I have to go
To the bathroom non stop. I recently just got rid of a urinary
Tract infection and it was gone so me and my boyfriend have had sex twice since then and both times we used a condom and after both times i've has the same problem. Is it an STD or just irritation of some sort??? HELP
Absolutely. As Tina said, she may be suffering from an allergic reaction. Personally, this is why I am not a fan of condoms. Don't get me wrong, it is a great invention and most people have zero reaction to it but I find that although I can deal with latex on my hands and have never had a severe allergic reaction to it, condoms are simply-- irritating. There are condoms made specifically for those allergic to latex but are on the expensive side. If you and your girlfriend are willing to get tested for STD's and trust each other without a condom, then an alternative such as birth control pills can certainly alleviate your girlfriend from the irritation.
Good Luck.
December 7, 2009 - 4:47amThank you for your insight, anonymous.
December 6, 2009 - 10:53amYes, condoms can and do cause irritation to the tender tissues of the vagina, mouth and anus, and a 2005 German study showed that condoms do indeed contain carcinogens. Condom use is necessitated only when a possible sexual partner is suspected of being infected with a sexually transmittable disease - but in that case - aside from sailors in foreign ports, one would probably refrain from engaging in sexual relations with them anyway! It is a fact that any regularly used product that causes irritation to the skin (tags on clothing, for example, or rubber condoms) or the tender mucous membranes can lead to various forms of cancer in the future. These are synthetically produced substances that are unnatural and foreign to our bodies. In fact, some individuals develop severe allergic reactions to condoms almost immediately - in the rest of us, the reactions may take years to finally work their mischief. The only condoms that do not contain carcinogens are those naturally made from sheep's intestines. Using a rubber condom may help one elude infection from a sexually transmissible disease short term, but we must consider the very extreme danger that exists from long term use which leads to either deadly cervical cancer or ovarian cancer. Any physician who tells people otherwise is either irresponsibly ignorant or deliberately dense.
December 6, 2009 - 10:39amits not an std
November 20, 2009 - 11:57pmHi Steve, Your girlfriend may have had an allergic reation to the condom, particularly to latex. Just to be safe, you may want to find an alternative form of protection. You can find a list of alternatives at at this link.
And just to be sure it's the condom causing the irritation, she may want to pay a visit to the doctor to make sure she doesn't have a health condition that is causing the reaction.

An amusing spat has broken out in Linux-Land where an Intel developer has told Linus Torvalds he has to clean up his act and stop swearing.
Sarah Sharp is a Linux kernel developer who considers Torvalds' trademark swearing a form of abuse.
She wrote in the Linux Kernal blog that violence, whether it be physical intimidation, verbal threats or verbal abuse is not acceptable and Linus should "keep it professional" on the mailing lists.
While Sharp has the backing of some who think it would be good for Linux if its figurehead wore a suit and talked in Intelisms, such calls are unlikely to reform Torvalds.
In fact he has penned a rant, opening with a strategically placed "Bullshit" to vent his displeasure at requests to turn him into a Chipzilla-approved cardboard cut-out.
He claimed Sharp was playing the victim card and simply trying to enforce her particular expectations on others.
"It's the old "think of the children" argument. And it's bogus. Calling things "professional" is just trying to enforce some kind of convention on others by trying to claim that it's the only acceptable way, " Torvalds wrote.
"People are different. I'm not polite, and I get upset easily but generally don't hold a grudge - I have these explosive emails. And that works well for some people. And it probably doesn't work well with you," he said.
He pointed out that not everyone has to get along or work well with each other and if it doesn't work for Sharp it isn't instantly made wrong.
"You think people need to act "nicer". While I think it's natural that people have different behaviour - and different expectations, " Torvalds wrote.
Further advice from Torvalds included telling Sharp not everyone has to like you, or think they have to be liked by you, and that discussions should be about working together "DESPITE people being different".
"I can pretty much guarantee that I'll continue cursing," Torvalds wrote. "To me, the discussion would be about how to work together despite these kinds of cultural differences, not about "how do we make everybody nice and sing songs sound the campfire".
Torvalds said that if Sharp wanted him to "act professional" he was not interested.
"I'm sitting in my home office wearing a bathrobe. The same way I'm not going to start wearing ties, I'm also not going to buy into the fake politeness, the lying, the office politics and backstabbing, the passive aggressiveness, and the buzzwords," he wrote.
Acting professionally results in people resorting to all kinds of really nasty things because they are forced to act out their normal urges in unnatural ways, he said.

Sunday, June 30, 2013
I get a lot of e-mail questions about gardening since each week this column appears in a dozen papers around New England - and I usually include my e-mail address. Among the most common is one that reads something like this, "Dear Henry, Something is eating my (you fill in the blank: roses, cucumbers, broccoli babies). What should I do?" Sometimes I will get a photo of a leaf that has been munched, or a blurry bug. Believe me, I'd love to diagnose and give safe remedies. But often I can't.
As larvae, these pests generally live in lawns, feeding on grass roots. They are whitish grubs of various sizes, but up to an inch long. If you cut open a square foot of lawn with a sharp shovel and peel back the sod, you are likely to see a grub or two. If you count 10 or more in that sample, you have an infestation that will be a problem. The U.S. Department of Agriculture) developed a remedy in the 1940's called milky spore, which is a bacterium that can be suspended in water and sprayed on lawns. It is not a miracle cure, and is quite expensive. Not all entomologists believe that milky spore is an effective cure, at least not in New England where weather conditions can kill the bacterium. Not only that, those darn bugs fly. So you can treat your lawn with milky spore only to have your neighbor's beetles fly over the fence to attack your roses. I did talk to an enterprising gardener once who convinced her neighbors to treat, too, and she feels it made a significant reduction in beetle numbers.
What about those Japanese beetle traps? Give them to neighbors you don't like. They attract lots of beetles, but only capture some – so they attract more hungry beetles to your property if you use them. Really, just don't buy them. I am a firm believer that the best method of insect control for most bad bugs is hand-picking them and dropping in soapy water. Insects often have several life cycles in a summer, so try to reduce numbers before they reproduce. Hand picking works for potato bugs, for example, if you check your plants now, before large numbers have appeared. Look under the leaves, too. If you see orange egg masses, scrape them off and drown them in soapy water, along with the beetles and larvae. If you grow too many potatoes for hand picking bugs, try something called "Bt", another beneficial bacterium. It is readily available at garden centers. It does not act as a contact poison, but sickens the larvae so they stop feeding and don't reach adulthood.
My insect nemesis is the striped cucumber beetle. It is a small striped beetle that can devour an entire small plant in one night. It eats not only cucumber leaves, but anything in that family including squashes and pumpkins. I do two things to help prevent their destruction: I grow my seedlings in pots until they have 3-4 leaves so the beetles can't kill the plant in one night. And I cover my plants with row covers (breathable garden fabric) to physically keep those darn beetles off the leaves. Which is not to say that they can't come up under the covers through the soil, but the method does help. And when the blossoms come, I'll have to remove the row covers to allow pollination. |

This is one of the tamest things Alec Baldwin has ever done — but it still landed him in handcuffs.
On May 13, Alec Baldwin was arrested at Fifth Avenue and E. 16th street in New York City for riding his bicycle the wrong direction. When he was stopped, he reportedly didn't have his ID on him and he became "belligerent" with the police!
Alec Baldwin Arrested
Probably not the best idea to freak out on cops — but apparently Alec, 56, doesn't know that. Around 10:15 a.m., the actor was arrested, police sources told NYDailyNews.
"The officers approached him and told him that he was riding the wrong way on the street and asked him for ID," an NYPD spokesman said. "But he didn't have any ID on him. He then began to act belligerent to police."
An eyewitness also told In Touch magazine that the actor was handcuffed and put in the back of a police car and acted "calm and quiet." However, a different witness said he was going "ballistic on the cops, screaming at them" at first.
A factor of his arrest was apparently that he didn't have his ID so that he couldn't be properly identified by the police when taken into the 13th street precinct. He was alone on the bike, riding for exercise.
He ended up getting a ticket for riding the wrong way, and a separate one for disorderly conduct.

Robert Harrison, King of the Pin Up BIG magazines, cannibalizes his own line of smut by introducing yet another title, Wink.
"Cannibalize" is the term used when a market leader eats into his own sales by introducing a similar product in greed. Harrison was greedy. Wink follows Beauty Parade and Eyeful. Combined, the three took up nearly a yard of shelf space at the newsstand! Compared to Beauty Parade, Wink was filthy. But you know, in a good way. The same cover was used at least twice. Once in 1949. Once in 1953. (They all looked the same to Harrison anyway...like money.)

Since 1881 the Pflueger name has been part of the fishing industry when Ernest F. Pflueger founded a fish hook company called the Enterprise Manufacturing Company. When his son Earnest A. Pflueger took over the family business and founded the E.A. Pflueger Company, he expanded the company from a hook manufacturer to all aspects of fishing tackle & gear. In 1916 the first Pflueger Baitcast reel was manufactured in Akron, Ohio, and became a benchmark of the fishing reel industry. The Pflueger spinning reel was introduced in 1954.

TNP Gaming has recently launched our brand new and innovative League of Legends Arena and are heading into our 2nd Season. Don't miss your chance to join the FIRST and BEST LoL Draft League in the World! Become the Next Great Legend.
TNP Gaming would like to present you with our new and REVOLUTIONARY way to play League of Legends. Over the last few years, League of Legends has become the most popular game in the world and the Professional Circuit has started to become huge in terms of viewership and popularity worldwide. TNP Gaming is an eSports organization that has one goal: To help prepare players to get to the Professional Gaming Circuit. The League of Legends Arena not only features some intense, competitive gameplay from high end players, but also a huge batch of unknown players that can make themselves known to the masses.
What separates us from other League of Legends tournaments is that we are run like a Sports League. What this means in we never cease operation and run yearly. We have 4 seasons a year split between off-seasons where we take new registrations. New sign ups are placed into the rookie draft and scouted during our Scouting Combine Weekend while Veterans (returning players) are place in a bidding war. Teams have a salary cap and a set amount of contract years they can hand out. Whichever team bids the highest earns the player and based on their salary they can be given X amount of years. This is where our RPG kicks in. How you play determines your career. Play well and you could be the hottest commodity in the league and headline all-star weekend. Player poorly and be a bad teammate and you could be released into the Free Agency Pool. Play inconsistently and you could find yourself being traded to another team. Owners in our league have full control of their teams. From trading players to releasing, drafting and bidding owners determine what their team looks like. They set the lines and try to guide their team to victory.
We have a rapid, growing user base with over 300 players signing up on Season 2's registration weekend, after only having 70 summoners in Season 1. We actually have had to cut off some registrations and have a lot of interest for Season 3. Riot Games is aware of what we are doing and we have discuss partnering with them in the near future. They currently provide prizing for Season 2 and hopefully will feature us more prominently in the near future. We have had a few players make the jump to professional gaming teams from Season 1 and we hope to help develop more players for the Professional Circuit.
Here are some player testimonials from Season 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46kYGQznadM
Don't Miss Your Chance to Join the Revolution
We're still taking sign-ups for Season 2! Anyone who wants to get a taste of competitive, high level gameplay should come check us out! We have numerous platinum and gold players as well as the opportunity to get picked up by Professional teams! Come check out the TNP LoL Arena today!

Another product I have using off and on for about 13 yrs. I will wonder off and try something new but always come back to this. I buy it in black. It goes on smooth and is buildable. It is comparable to more expensive brands. I really like this product and will continue to buy in the future.

I've been using L'Oreal Voluminous mascara for a very long time. I personally have very short eye lashes and this product gives my lashes some serious length and volume. When it comes to drugstore brands I definitely think this mascara is the best. Every time I try a new mascara I always find myself going right back to L'Oreal. And the price isn't bad for the quality.... If you haven't tried it yet you have to get a tube of this stuff, it's great!

Bought this product on a whim at bed bath and beyond. I've used it before at my friends house and did like the way it made my lashes look. However the water proof version does take a lot of makeup remover to remove and when I wake up in the morning I still have to use a little bit more remover to get the rest off. Overall i love this mascara and one pump for each eye is all you need! Makes your eyes pop!
Hands down, this is the BEST mascara ever! I've used the Waterproof Voluminous mascara for years and there is nothing else (including dept store brands) that compares to how full/thick it makes my very skimpy lashes look. No clumps. No flakes. NO watery eyes from an allergic reaction. Just perfect FULL lush looking lashes that will stand up to showers, swimming, and hot humid summer days.
As for removing the mascara? I can't believe some members are complaining it's hard to get off. If you use the right remover, there are no issues. The only remover I use is Almay Moisturizing Remover Pads (they are the oily ones). The mascara comes off easily. No issues.
Btw, I just tried the L'Oreal Waterproof Voluminous "Million Lashes" by mistake, and it is HORRIBLE! OMG. :( Worst product ever! It barely put any mascara onto my very fine, thin, pathetic lashes. What a waste of money!! L'Oreal better NOT be replacing my HG mascara with this mess of a product!! Leave my beloved original L'Oreal Waterproof Voluminous Mascara alone!
OOps! I spoke too soon about L'Oreal Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara!
I actually now even reach for this one more often. It did have quite the learning curve (I have to apply a lot more strokes to get the fullness I want), BUT the results are amazing. I get a much more fluttery, light, feathery, FULL look to my lashes. It does make it seem as though I have a lot more lash hairs than I've ever seen before. The effect is gorgeous -- it's full, but not heavy/thick. Whereas the regular Voluminous waterproof (which I still do love!) coats each individual lash a lot more heavily. Both looks are fabulous, and both wear like iron.

I've been repurchasing this mascara for the past 2 years because it works really well for my sparse and straight lashes. I have no problems with smudging or the mascara not being able to hold the curl.
After reading some of the review on MUA, I see lots of people complaining that they can't get this mascara off, but there is a way!! I use almay get up and grow mascara first then I apply the l'oreal voluminous on top (I know some of you are thinking that it's going to clump but it actually doesn't!). Then when I want to take it off, I just use some baby oil on a cotton pad, hold it on my eye for 3 seconds and it's completely gone!
Hope this helps someone!

This is the only mascara I will and can use. The waterproof version holds the curls all day without flaking. It clumps a little but u can easily remove it with a brush when it's still wet. It makes my skinny asian lashes so fat and long and look so dramatic.And it truely is waterproof, crying is no problem but it will eventually run off if u go swimming with it. I gotten so many compliments on my eyes and lashes. With a #1 couple in the mail it's only $5. Must buy!!!
This is definitely my go-to mascara. I have long lashes, and this makes them look like falsies. It will be clumpy if you aren't careful. It lasts all day and is actually very hard to remove for me. When I first get a tube, I don't really like it, but after it thickens up with a few uses, it's just right.
More reviews by Dancingirl0215
While this mascara produced great volume without clumping excessively, it had terrible staying power.
I typically choose waterproof mascaras because they tend to last longer (and survive the occasional, inadvertent eye rub) this mascara actually appeared to slide or 'melt' from my lower lashes onto my lower lids within a matter of hours to produce a sloppy, just-got-out-of-the-pool look.
Although I typically apply a waterproof mascara to my upper & lower lashes, I have NEVER experienced a waterproof mascara with such terrible staying power.
More reviews by livinggreality
accidentally picked this up in a rush, I didn't mean to buy the waterproof version of L'oreal Voluminous.
absolutely hated this mascara.
Only 5 fallen eyelashes later was I able to get the stupid thing off my eyes.
Plus, this stuff smudged and flaked on me throughout my whole day. yeah, my eyes are a bit more watery then the average girl but my non-waterproof mascara held up better than this one.
Didn't even really do anything length wise, or as a matter of fact volume wise either. my lashes are naturally black and fairly long and it was like Clump City with this mascara, even with just one coat.
hated this. went straight in the trash.
After I curl my lashes, I put on a few coats of this and it makes my lashes look really nice considering they're short. I actually thought the brush was huge compared to most mascara brushes but I don't mind that. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with oily skin though. I have oily skin and most of the time I'm wearing glasses so by the end of the day I have mascara smudges underneath my eyes. Other than it's OK.
