A vagina with an evergrowing yeast infection. In the sun the yeast causes the genetalia to rise like a crumpet being baked.
I'm never going back to Cuba again, half the girls on that beach had crumpets!
Niggslayerによって 2004年11月09日(火)
A noun which is a similie for the term 'pussy' thus meaning the female gentalia. Or, to be blunt, the vagina. Its existence owes itself to the somehow holey and spongy nature of the vagina. It can be used both factually and in slang.
"Her crumpet was perfectly healthy, despite her concerns."
"Lads, I'm on the hunt for some crumpet tonight"
"Lads, I'm on the hunt for some crumpet tonight"

Senior Internet Editor
"Have you ever been or are you now involved in espionage or sabotage; or in terrorist activities; or genocide; or between 1933 and 1945 were involved, in any way, in persecutions associated with Nazi Germany or its allies?"
That might have been a perfectly reasonable question to ask people entering the United States in the past, but since it's still included on CBP Form I-94 (last updated 05/08) it has helped land the Department of Homeland Security with the dubious distinction of the winner of the Wondermark Award for the worst and most unclear communication.
"This form," notes the Center for Plain Language, "which is used by those entering or re-entering the U.S., is filled with language that is confusing, arcane and offensive. The form has a challenging layout making it difficult to complete. The questions are condescending, the content is unrealistic, and the tone is bureaucratic. It is a particularly noteworthy nomination because of its high-volume use and the fact that it presents a first impression of our nation to visitors."
The ClearMark and WonderMark Awards for Best and Worst Language Use in Business, Government and Nonprofits were presented last week.
Dr. Annetta Cheek, chair of the center's board of directors, told Federal News Radio the other side of the Plain Language coin is healthfinder.gov/prevention for its clarity of navigation and helpfulness of information provided.
The secret to the website's success, said Cheek, was the same as DHS's reason for failure: the amount of time invested in the effort. Health and Human Services, said Cheek, "did a lot of testing with users before they put up that site so they were confident that they were getting the right kind of information with the right wording in the right order."
The kind of carelessness found in the DHS document is all too common across the federal government, said Cheek.
Feds are often a little pressured for time, they have a lot to do and the easiest way to do a new whatever, form or report or letter, is to drag out an old one, make the minimal changes and send it on out. I think that happens way too often and they end up with material that is not very helpful and ends up costing them more time because people have to get back to them and say "what did you mean by this? What am I really supposed to do?"
While the administration been talking about plain language, and it's clear they want improvement, said Cheek, "I think there needs to be a little more focused attention on it and a definition because, as you know, if you tell somebody to do something and you don't tell them really what that is, they might try but you're probably not going to get what you want."

News and updates on federal IT initiatives from the 2011 Executive Leadership Conference.
'Fast 50' to give GSA more complete green building picture
WILLIAMSBURG, Va.-The General Services Administration is connecting 50 federal buildings to measure their energy usage and gather data to figure out how best to find savings.
Martha Johnson, GSA's administrator, said the "Fast 50" project is one of several ways the agency is leading the effort to green the government.
"Federal buildings are 22 percent more efficient than the average private-sector building," Johnson said during her keynote speech at the 21st annual Executive Leadership Conference sponsored by ACT and IAC. "We are more intensely gathering micro data about federal buildings to see how they are performing and what we can do to improve the efficiency of their energy use."
Johnson said GSA could save $1 per square foot in energy usage with this approach.
Along with smart buildings, GSA bought 116 electric cars and installed charging stations at government agencies in an effort to green the federal fleet.
GSA also is focusing more on electronic waste, Johnson added.
"The government sheds 10,000 computers a day, and that's just desktops computers," she said. "This is a naughty, wicked problem and we need to better understand it."
Innovation.gov is back?
Dave McClure, GSA's associate administrator in the Office of Citizen Service and Innovative Technologies, once again is pushing the idea of an innovation platform for agencies to share ideas and best practices.
McClure said he's talked to Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel about the idea as well as the innovation council.
McClure said there is a lot going on around innovation between open government, the implementation of the Government Performance and Results (GPRA) Modernization Act and cloud computing that agencies need a place to connect.
He pushed for a similar idea in May, but it got little traction.
The Obama Administration has encouraged agencies to innovate. It launched Challenge.gov to promote the use of challenges to solve problems and several agencies, including the Health and Human Services Department, NASA and the Food and Drug Administration held challenges.
In addition, McClure said more than 1,000 apps have been built off of information from Data.gov.
OPM to develop competencies for COOs
Under the GPRA Modernization Act, Congress instructed the Office of Personnel Management to create competency models for agency performance improvement officers (PIOs) and chief operating officers.
Patsy Stevens, the manager of OPM's Systems Innovation Group, said her office is just getting started defining the requirements.
"We are thinking about what PIOs need to do," she said. "We are working through the CXOs, CIOs, CFOs, chief human capital officers to figure out what skills PIOs need to have."
One area OPM is considering is how to link the competencies to performance management goals, Stevens said.
DHS resuscitating HSIN
The Homeland Security Department failed at developing the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) the first time because no one wanted to admit failure.
But DHS is not making the same mistake twice.
Donna Roy, DHS executive director in the Information Sharing Environment Applied Technology office, said DHS now is breaking down HSIN into 61 major capabilities and working on them in small chunks.
Roy said the department is using an agile software development approach. After every 60 days, users get to review capabilities.
"We have users talk about what works and what doesn't," she said. "We fail fast and we recover fast."
The next big challenge is how to ensure the 40,000 users have the opportunity to give input on the most important capabilities of HSIN.
Roy said she wants to use crowdsourcing, but hasn't figured out how best to bring the disparate communities together.
"We want to validate our requirements in a limited community," she said.
HSPD-12 going mobile?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology wants to evolve the standards for secure identity cards under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 to make it easier employees to use them with mobile devices.
Suzanne Lightman, NIST senior advisor for information security, said the second revision of Federal Information Processing Standard 201 will detail how personal identity verification (PIV) cards for mobile devices will look.
NIST developed a common standard for PIV cards for the government, but mobile devices require different attributes.
Lightman said the current PIV card is too big for mobile device internal card readers.
She said FIPS 201-2 could be completed in 2012.
Along with the PIV standard, NIST is close to finalizing the first revision of Special Publication 800-63, which details how agencies should implement electronic authentication. The draft revision has been through at least three comment periods and should be released by the end of 2011, Lightman said.

Great not so skinny jeans!
By Kelly
from Illinois
About Me Casual, Classic, Trendy
Comments about 7 For All Mankind Slim Cigarette in Los Angeles Dark:
These are great for slightly curvy ladies that like the skinny jean look but don't want just a second skin! Fitted but not super tight like leggings! I'm 5'2 and 130 and I bought a 29. The inseam is a tad long but they are great tucked in boots! Gorgeous color and flattering fit!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

not for straight waisted
By chemgirl
from NJ
These fit perfectly everywhere but in the waist. I am fairly straight waisted and the waistband was a size too small. I think if I ordered a size up they would be too big elsewhere. Too bad. Also, what happened to jeans that felt like JEANS? Anymore they have so much polyester and whatever else mixed in. I want to wear jeans, not fitted sweatpants.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Finally my perfect jeans!
By curvy texas girl
from Tx
About Me Casual
2nd pair....LOVE...... Does not get baggy at the back side like lots of jeans seem to do, and even gives my butt a better shape, as i'm a little wide but also a little flat :) size 31 is perfect and fits like a glove without being too snug, but I also have these in 32 for when I want more of the boyfriend jean feel, but still have a tapered leg.....most boyfriend styles are too boyish, offering no style for my shape and skinnies are usually too skinny. I usually wear a size 12 and sometimes a 10 if the are a little roomy, just for reference.
Perfect fit

I really wanted to love these jeans
By Mia
from Mass.
I was looking for a skinny jean and ordered these based on the description. They were so comfortable on but they fit me oddly. The jeans were baggy in the knees and the lower leg was more of a straight leg fit on me. I am athletic and 5'2'' and the length was awesome, another reason why I wanted to love them. But I sent them back because of the fit in the knees.

About Me Casual, Trendy
I love these jeans! They are perfect for under boots or with flats. I love that they are slim enough to wear with boots but they do not have that skin tight feeling you get from skinny jeans. Very comfortable.

Boehner voices skepticism on budget prospects
Thursday - 2/14/2013, 3:56am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner expressed doubts Wednesday that the Republican-led House and Democratic-controlled Senate could reach agreement on a budget and avoid automatic spending cuts that could jeopardize economic growth.
In a post-State of the Union interview with The Associated Press, Boehner was also skeptical about President Barack Obama's new proposal for federally supported universal pre-school. And he showed little support for Obama's core proposals on immigration reform and gun control, including universal background checks.
But it's the economy and deficit at the top of the congressional priority list as Obama and lawmakers face looming fiscal crises confronting the nation: the deep automatic spending cuts, called a "sequester," to take effect March 1, followed by the government running out of money to fund federal agencies March 27.
Boehner, seeking to keep the government from lurching from one crisis to another, has also pressed for Washington to get back to passing regular budgets. But he expressed pessimism about whether that was possible given the deep divisions on Capitol Hill.
"It's hard to imagine that you could reconcile what the House and Senate pass, but at some point, in some manner, it almost has to happen if we're going to deal with our long-term spending problem," Boehner said.
The Ohio Republican also reiterated his opposition to letting the sequester take effect, and served up a reality check to members of his caucus who say publicly that they would be willing to let the $85 billion in across-the-board cuts take effect on March 1.
"None of them have ever lived under a sequester. For that matter, neither have I," Boehner said. "This is going to be a little bleak around here when this actually happens and people actually have to make decisions."
The president wants to put off the sequester through a combination of targets spending cuts and increased tax revenue. Republicans want to offset the sequester with spending cuts alone.
Obama also used the prime-time speech Tuesday to call for action on a broad agenda that included the economy, guns, immigration, taxes and climate change. He offered new initiatives on voting, manufacturing, and research and development. He said he wanted to raise the minimum wage, lower energy use, and expand pre-school programs for all 4-year-olds.
While Obama left out key details of the pre-school program, including the cost to the federal government, administration officials said ahead of Tuesday's speech that the proposal would include the government providing financial incentives to assist states. The president is expected to campaign on the proposal Thursday in Georgia.
Boehner questioned the need for the federal government to get involved in early childhood education, saying it was "a good way to screw it up."
During a visit Wednesday to Asheville, N.C., Obama promoted his ideas on creating jobs and closing the income gap between the wealthiest and middle-income Americans. The president used a retrofitted former Volvo plant to make a case for proposals designed to encourage companies that have operated overseas to bring back jobs to the U.S.
"We're seeing this trend of what we call insourcing, not just outsourcing," Obama said. "And the reason is because America has got outstanding workers. We're starting to produce more homegrown energy, which is driving down our energy costs. And, obviously, we've still got the biggest market in the world. And if we try to improve our infrastructure a little bit more, then we're going to be even that much more competitive."
The president also used his State of the Union address to call on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration legislation with a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants and hold votes on a series of gun-control measures introduced following the shootings of 20 school children in Newtown, Conn.
Boehner has been noncommittal on his position on key components of both proposals.
On immigration, Boehner told the AP that he was "encouraged" by bipartisan congressional efforts to address immigration reform. But he refused to take a position on providing a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, including for young people who were brought to the country illegally.
"I'm not getting myself locked into a corner on what I'm for or what I'm against," he said.
On gun control, Boehner wouldn't commit to holding votes on universal background checks or bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines. Instead, he focused on exploring the link between mass shootings and mental health.
"What I don't want to be is parceled into some political stunt that has no impact on the problem," Boehner said.

I had a mental image of my paladin, forged by 59 excellent levels. Unfortunately, the reality of the endgame in WoW proved to be different than my image.
I guess I kept hoping that Blizzard would realize this, and make changes that would make the reality more closely match my image. With the advent of Tier 3 armor, and looking at the Paladin review of 1.9 in hindsight, I believe this hope to be futile. Paladins are as Blizzard envisioned them, and if I do not like that vision, I should reroll or quit.
Accordingly, I have chosen to quit.
World of Warcraft was a spectacular game from levels 1 to 59. It was merely a decent game at level 60. There is a bit too much emphasis on raiding, and very little content for other playstyles. I enjoyed raiding, but there was no variety. All the non-raid content, such as PvP, was seriously flawed in implementation.
Still, I enjoyed my stay in Azeroth quite a bit. I met and played with a lot of good people in the various guilds I was part of.
This was really the first MMO that I spent time with, and it was a fun experience. Though next time, I seriously doubt I will pick a hybrid, or jack-of-all-trades, class. It seems like far less hassle to pick a specialist class.
In any case, thanks for reading this blog.

Well that is a sad thing ... I only discovered your blog a couple weeks ago and enjoyed reading it quite a bit and I am not even a Paladin player.
But sometimes it's better to quit. If the game is no fun anymore it doesn't do what it should ...

I almost quit about a year ago, but stayed because I and my best freind were "duoing" all the content with mage and priest alts. That's when i realized how much more fun this game is when you are not gimped as a paladin.
Now we are in a casual raiding guild, and we've gone from raid noobs (the whole guild, that is) to most of MC on farm status and 2 Onyxia kills.
If you haven't tried out the other classes, it might rekindle your interest in the game. I cringe at the thought of being in a raiding guild with a paladin.

I think friends and the guild you're in really are what make the game.
I got bored and aggravated with my 60 rogue and quit for about a month. I eventually came back with an alt priest.
I switched guilds a few times. Now for both characters I'm in small guilds that are part of alliances of other small guilds. All of us are older and not obsessed with getting loot, so there's really no ninjaing or complaining or drama. some of them are hitting ZG now. I finally enjoy the game again.
heh, i just realized, i enjoy the game because "getting ahead", i.e. playing the game/raiding, is not as important to me or the people I play with anymore as just hanging out online is.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
The thing is that I think paladins are *very* close to being correct. We really need only a few small changes (2, in my view) to make us work properly, in line with vision that I think most paladins have (at least, the non-pure-healbot ones).
But instead Blizzard chooses to shuffle talents and make our Tier set healbot armor (especially after the awesomeness that was Judgement).
Maybe I just need to take a break from WoW for a little while.

Pausing Today to Think About Tomorrow
I spent two days this week doing something I haven't done for five if not ten years: going to a retreat to explore who I want to be in the next iteration of my life. The retreat was led by Peter Senge and the Shambhala Institute outside Boston on bright, crisp sunny days that just oh-so-faintly smelled of springtime. We meditated, rolled around on the floor, did some movement that seemed to approximate modern dance and talked about the transformations we were most passionate about effecting in our own lives.
We discussed and explored questions that often elude us in the very focused lives we seem to lead. How do we balance "doing" vs. "being?" What is humanity? Why do we as a society place so little value on being? How much of the effect we have in the world comes from what we do as opposed to who we are? Why is empty space so uncomfortable that we seem to always need to fill it? How can we value what we don't know as much or more than what we do know? Why do we have such a limited capacity to hold the whole of anything and seem to focus on its parts?
Reflections and thoughts. The difference between being committed and being a fanatic is that a fanatic is certain of the answers and has stopped asking questions. Real commitment comes in the midst of profound uncertainty. We live in a world of infinite interdependence. I met a woman who gave away 90% of everything she owned to become what she believed in. I was awe struck. The only emotion that expands creativity, possibility and potential is love.
So for me, the answer is to step out as boldly as possible into the center of the mainstream business world with all my passion and all of my might to inspire the profound change needed to alter the destructive path we are on and to capture the full potential of our humanity to create a world that is equitable, just, peaceful and sustainable.

In February, attorney and father James Brady filed a lawsuit against Wheaton College for having charged the family a Wheaton-sized tuition bill during his daughter's stay abroad. He estimated about $4,500 could have been saved had his daughter been billed for the cost of her South African university tuition. If European students heard the story, they too may have been upset—at the outrageous cost of a South African education.
It comes as no surprise that, even as the dollar weakens against its European counterparts, a college education is still most expensive in the United States. US students who study at four-year public colleges pay an average tuition of $6,185 per year; ones who study at private colleges pay $23,710. According to an article published by the Associated Press, book costs, room & board, living expenses and myriad university fees raise these numbers to $13,589 and $32,307 respectively.
While students abroad undoubtedly have problems of their own, paying for college is unlikely to top the charts. It's still not uncommon for countries to provide a tuition-free education for all, with a reasonable length-of-study limit and minor fees. When you study in Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Norway or Sweden, you can breeze through school with bills that vary from small to nonexistent. In a number of more expensive areas, it may cost you a few thousand dollars. Even then, the government is likely to offer some sort of compensation grant.
US students don't leave their tuition problems behind after graduation. In fact, the problems often get worse. About two-thirds of students borrow to complete a college education. Those who borrow leave school with an average debt of about $19,000. Students who go to private schools and ones who stay for another degree are increasingly taking out student loans that exceed $100,000.
While it's not unheard of for international students to borrow for an education, lower costs mean lower burdens. Oftentimes, income-contingent repayment plans and federal grants offered in exchange for good school performance are an option for struggling students. Comparable opportunities are few and far between for US students. Instead, many overwhelmed students return home again financially dependent on their parents.
That is not to say that tuition hasn't been growing elsewhere, with the United Kingdom being a prime example. In 1998, some college students in the UK were asked to pay for their education, a change that had students taking to the streets in protest. For the 2007-2008 school year, the UK tuition cap was controversially increased to £3,070 ($6,155), a price that would still make private universities blush, one that would make James Brady rethink his lawsuit.
Rising tuition may not be uncommon, but we have perfected the trend. Unfortunately, legislation cannot be willed into action. Until federal Pell Grants increase significantly and tuition costs drop dramatically, students can look to college scholarships and grants for assistance. By completing a free college scholarship search, students can find information about numerous awards they may be eligible to receive.

When you're in school, book reports are worth little more than a headache. When you're applying for college scholarships and grants, they're worth a lot of money---especially when you apply for The Foutainhead Essay Contest. Students who submit their essays can win up to $10,000! That's a pretty good incentive to write, even if you're not a fan of scholarship essay contests.

With all this talk about colleges hoarding snowballing endowments, it may come as a surprise that sometimes, college funds do dry up. Such is the case at numerous universities receiving business scholarship money from the Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Foundation.
Indiana University at Bloomington, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University at University Park, St. Edward's University, Texas A&M University at College Station and Texas State University at San Marcos (which even has a building named after the founders) each received annual financial support from the multi-million dollar fund.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the foundation was worth $26 million in 2006. The loss was said to be caused by a stock market downturn, but there are suspicions that it may also have something to do with the founders' son, Scott Mitte. A past article published by The Boston Globe stated that Mr. Mitte's compensation had increased by $189,000 and his spending on travel and meetings grew by more than $180,000 in just one year. The article dated November 3, 2003 also mentions that a sexual harassment case against Mr. Mitt had cost the foundation $139,000 in legal fees.
Rather than leave their students without promised aid, most of the schools have decided to use their own funds to support them. Texas State University, the alma mater of the founders, will continue to receive scholarship money from the foundation, but other schools must dig into their own pockets to cover the expenses.
During the post-Inconvenient Truth months, I couldn't help but steadfastly pursue an eco-friendly lifestyle. Sure, I sporadically recycled before, but, regardless of attacks on film's accuracy, it made things happen for me. Thanks to a great deal of nagging and a plethora of guilt-tripping orations, I even convinced my mom to recycle--on occasion.
If you haven't been swayed as of yet, here's another good reason to go green: it pays. To encourage students to learn about the environment, alternative energy and about keeping the land and ecosystem safe, numerous scholarship providers have created eco-friendly scholarships. Check out the awards listed below for options you may benefit from, and conduct a free college scholarship search for additional information about college scholarships and grants.The Vegetarian Resource Group Scholarship
Each year, the Vegetarian Resource Group gives away two $5,000 awards to students who promote vegetarianism in their schools and communities. Judges will look for essays that best demonstrate the student's compassion, courage and commitment to promoting a peaceful world through vegetarianism.

Helping someone is a reward in itself, but I guess college scholarships and grants couldn't hurt. After all, you can't control when good karma decides to stop by with financial aid.
To promote volunteer work and help students who help others, scholarship providers have set up the following volunteer awards:
BR!CK Awards Scholarship
Think of the BR!CK Awards as the Oscars for volunteers. Nine winners who have committed exceptional acts of kindness will receive a scholarship of $5,000 as well as a $5,000 reward to be forwarded to their charity of choice. They will also get to participate in an award show where celebrities present their prizes.
Discover Scholarship Program
This corporate scholarship was created for current high school juniors who have demonstrated accomplishments in community service and leadership, faced a significant challenge and maintained a minimum 2.75 GPA. Up to 10 scholarships of $30,000 each will be granted.
Kohl's Kids Who Care Scholarship
With the help of this scholarship, student volunteers between the ages of 6 and 18 can earn $5,000 toward their college education. Other prizes include $50 Kohl's gift certificates and $1,000 scholarships.
A Voice for Animals Scholarship
The Voice for Animals Scholarship, an award provided by the Humane Education Network (HEN) gives students the chance to speak out against animal cruelty. Awards are offered to students who submit the best essays and to those who have worked to improve animal welfare.
Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship
To be eligible for the Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship, high school seniors must first be nominated by their principal. Those who demonstrate leadership skills within the community and who work to engage youth in activities that boost self-esteem and encourage an ethic of service can win $1,000 scholarships.
Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program
The Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program was created in memory of Jesse Brown, a member of the Marine Corp who dedicated his time to assisting disabled American veterans. Students who volunteer at local VA medical centers for a minimum of 100 hours will be able to receive a scholarship from this provider.

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday, students across the nation celebrated the eleventh annual Read Across America day on March 3rd. Though most festivities were aimed at the elementary and middle school crowd, plenty of high school students joined in to encourage the young and old to read on a regular basis.
Their support was both appreciated and needed. In 2005, a report published by the National Education Association (NEA) revealed that reading frequency dropped significantly for people of all ages. Those who struggled the most, individuals between the ages of 18 and 24, experienced a reading drop of 28 percent. To stop this trend from continuing, students are being taught that reading can be fun--really.
A list compiled by the NEA offers a few interesting examples of things students and educators have tried in an effort to encourage reading. They include:
o High school cheerleaders and athletes from Hamler, Ohio who challenged students to become active readers by leading them in reading spirit cheers.
o A Dr. Seuss Party thrown by the Central Lafourche High School Performing Arts Club. The event included a Dr. Seuss show, an appearance by the cat and a cake.
o The school-wide Braxton County High reading celebration in which all students, faculty and staff had to drop everything to read during first period.
o A Washington County event in which all elementary, middle and high school students read every day for a week. In addition to a skit performed by students from a high school drama class, prizes were awarded to the 100th person who entered the library.
o The foreign language event in which students from Edmond Santa Fe High School translated and read "The Cat in the Hat" and "Green Eggs and Ham" in three different languages—English, Spanish and Latin.
But the award for the most interesting (and least appetizing) example goes to the Washington Elementary district which served its students a breakfast of—yuck—green eggs and ham.
The Prosperity Scholarship Fund, a foundation providing Florida scholarships for low-income students residing in the Jacksonville area, received its biggest donation when AT&T announced its $100,000 contribution. According to an AT&T press release, the company was responsible for granting a total of $4 million to Florida philanthropy organizations in 2007 alone, and it was ranked among the top corporate philanthropy foundations by Forbes.
AT&T's contribution to the Prosperity Scholarships Fund matches that collected by all other contributors combined during the foundation's inception in 2006. The new scholarship money will go towards an endowment to be supplemented by the state, individuals and additional corporations. During the 2008-2009 school year, more than 200 students who attend Florida Community College at Jacksonville, the University of North Florida, Jacksonville University and Edward Waters College will be able to use the endowment money to afford a college education. Students who win can receive up to $1,000 per year, to be renewed annually.
Those who graduate from Duval County high school and those who are customers of JEA--the Jacksonville energy, water and sewer system company responsible for administering the fund--may begin applying in May. For additional information about financial aid, scholarship funds and corporate scholarships, students may conduct a free college scholarship search.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has an unparalleled resume. By attacking top companies and preaching justice to the people, he has made himself into something of a public superhero. Pursuing Facebook predators, Comcast, top banks, officials at elite universities, health insurance companies and even the infamous Gambino mafia crime family, each of his investigations is worthy of a motion picture.
After taking a short break from the student-loan investigation, Cuomo is back, and he comes bearing new subpoenas. This time, he is targeting--among others--credit card companies and the colleges and universities who conduct business with them. Of particular concern is the marketing of credit cards with college logos.
If you're a college student who hasn't received a ready-to-go credit card laminated with a picture of your alma mater, you haven't paid sufficient attention to your junk mail. "So what's wrong with logos?" you may ask. According to Cuomo and his entourage, it's a mental thing. He believes that students who may not have otherwise signed up for multiple credit cards, or ones who used them sparingly, are swayed by their new and creative options. These students are at a greater risk of hurting their credit rating (which is adversely affected each time someone applies for a credit card) and spending extra money. The last thing the growing number of indebted students need is another credit card.
According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Cuomo has also expressed concern about students who may be choosing their credit cards based on logos rather than optimal interest rates or good repayment options. Now I'm not saying that I haven't considered a logo card. It truly is "cute" and therefore bears great influence on college students. Still, I have faith that most students are too lazy to go through with the transaction.
For some, the credit card investigation may seem like a bit of a stretch. That may be a fair statement, but I'm all for Cuomo putting schools under the microscope. After discovering that many college and university officials agreed to place lenders on preferred-lender lists in exchange for money, they deserve a turn in the hot seat.

Students eager to work for multiple degrees deserve some credit--the financial kind. Paying for graduate school is difficult, and many students leave burdened by debt they cannot realistically pay off. The federal Pell Grants students may have received as undergraduates are no longer available, and suddenly, graduate school may no longer seem plausible.
The situation is particularly problematic for students interested in receiving a doctor's degree because many such programs take an average of six to seven years to complete. Most students cannot afford to work and study full-time, so completion of school often hinges on one's ability to afford it. To help graduate students pay for their living and research needs, many universities and financial aid providers offer annual research grants, scholarships and fellowships. To get you started, we have listed a few examples below. For additional information about financial aid for graduate students, you may conduct a free college scholarship search.
AMAF Valuing Diversity Ph.D. Scholarship
This scholarship was created by the American Marketing Association Foundation (AMAF) and the AMA Academic Council to assist students from underrepresented populations in their pursuit of a marketing-related degree. African American, Hispanic American and Native American students enrolled in a full-time AACSB-accredited marketing doctoral program are eligible for this award.
Society of Pediatric Psychology Student Research Award
The Society of Pediatric Psychology Student Research Award is available to current student members of the Society of Pediatric Psychology (SPP). Research projects leading toward a master's or doctor's degree, or ones conducted for independent study, will be considered. Work must be relevant to the subject of pediatric psychology. Collaborative Research Grants
Collaborative Research Grants are awarded to students working in teams of two or more to complete work that cannot be funded by a one-person grant. Eligible projects include research or conferences that contribute to understanding of the humanities, archaeological research, translations of important works into English and humanities research used to enhance knowledge in science, technology medicine or the social sciences. Grants may be used to fund up to three years of work.
The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation (HFG) Research Grants
Awards typically ranging from $15,000 to $30,000 per year for one or two years are awarded by the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation (HFG) to students who participate in research that increases the understanding of causes, manifestations and control of violence, aggression and dominance.
The National Network for Environmental Management Fellowship Program
The National Network for Environmental Management (NNEMS) Fellowship can be used to fund a project that directly relates to environmental research. About 20 to 30 awards totaling $300,000 are awarded annually. Individual grants will vary depending on the level of education, location and the length of a fellowship.
Environmental Public Policy & Conflict Resolution Ph.D. Fellowship
Two one-year fellowships of up to $24,000 will be awarded to doctoral candidates by the Udall Foundation. Applicants will have to conduct research on the topic of U.S. environmental public policy or environmental conflict resolution. Students must be entering their final year of dissertation work.
Department of Homeland Security Graduate Fellowship
Undergraduate and graduate students who are pursuing a doctoral or master's degree and working on a thesis dealing with homeland security may be eligible for this federal award. Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.3. Full tuition and a stipend of $2,300 per month for 12 months will be awarded. In addition to a 10-month internship, one-year of homeland security-related work is required.
Beinecke Scholarship
This award is granted to undergraduate juniors who intend to enter a master's or doctor's program in the arts, humanities or social sciences. To be eligible, students will need to be nominated by their school. (Interested students should contact their college counselors.) Preference is given to students with financial need.

VA contract moves 600,000 email users to the cloud
Tuesday - 11/13/2012, 12:30pm EST
The Department of Veterans Affairs awarded a five-year, $36 million contract to HP Enterprise Services to move 600,000 VA users to the cloud for email and calendar use.
VA awarded the contract under its multibillion dollar information technology contract called Transformation 21 Total Technology (T4).
HP will lead and manage the implementation of Microsoft Office 365 for Government.
"Moving to the cloud enables VA to fulfill the Cloud First federal mandate while anticipating improved employee productivity and collaboration and reduced costs," according to an HP release.
Other agencies have also selected Office 365 for cloud email. The Environmental Protection Agency selected it to move 25,000 of its employees to the cloud, as did the FAA to migrate 60,000 employees.
VA, GSA each pushes major IT acquisitions to next steps

Quite possibly never in our nation's history have Washington politicians been more fundamentally divided about the future direction of spending and taxation decisions. Sometimes, it would seem, political gridlock can be a desirable outcome, since Congress seems almost devilishly capable of wreaking havoc with our nation's economy, given the sometimes short-sighted fiscal policy actions enacted. At the present time, however, the political gridlock/opportunism/cowardice (pick your favorite descriptive term) that infects lawmakers is particularly destructive given the monumental issues that must be addressed over the next 13 months.
Of most immediate concern to individual Americans — and to the business community that needs some clarity of direction as they attempt to plan for 2012 operations — are a few major tax/spending decisions. The two getting the most attention are the Social Security tax rate that will apply in 2012 and any extensions in unemployment compensation benefits that may occur.
In the first instance, people who pay into the Social Security System in 2011 are getting a 2 percentage point reduction in the typical tax rate, down from 6.2 to 4.2 percentage points. Earlier this fall the Obama administration, as part of its "deficit reduction" (not "stimulus") effort indicated a desire to give an even bigger break in 2012, dropping the tax rate for both people and businesses to 3.1 percentage points to put more after-tax income into everyone's pockets. Sadly, the whole issue was supposedly going to be addressed by the Congressional super committee, which was charged with finding a minimum of $1.2 trillion is deficit/debt reduction over the next 10 years.
Given that the evenly divided Democrat/Republican super committee admitted defeat early last week, they failed to address the Social Security issue. As a result, within a few short weeks, it is possible that the Social Security tax rate could rise to its normal 6.2 percent. Then again, it could remain stable at 4.2 percent. Or it could fall to 3.1 percent, and extend to the business community and what they owe Uncle Sam.
Now ask yourself, if you were a businessperson trying to plan for next year's activities — including hiring decisions — would you take a chance that one of these three outcomes is most probable, or would you simply defer any risky decisions (including potential new hires) given the uncertainty created by Congressional dithering?
And the issues to be addressed by the end of 2011 do not end there, with major decisions required about unemployed workers' continued access to extended unemployment insurance benefits, the next "fix" associated with the Alternative Minimum Tax system (which might negatively impact 15-plus million Americans in term of 2012 tax obligations), the next extension of the "doctor fix" needed to keep reimbursements to primary care physicians who accept Medicare patients from falling nearly 30 percent, and so on and so forth. Monstrously important legislation that needs to be addressed by a Congress that seems hopelessly deadlocked.
And by the end of 2012 another set of expiring issues must be addressed, with the final disposition of the Bush tax rate reductions being the most significant. And mind you, this is not just about the tax rate paid by the wealthiest Americans, but for all families at all income levels subject to federal income taxes.
And don't forget to throw into this unholy mix of unresolved issues the Supreme Court ruling that will address the constitutionality of ObamaCare and all of its associated mandates.
And finally, as if to demonstrate just how politically toxic decision making has apparently become, the Obama administration has put off a major decision regarding the Keystone XL pipeline which is (was?) supposed to transport Canadian oil sands from Alberta to the Gulf Coast of the U.S. so as to enhance America's energy independence. Rather than giving a thumbs up to the project- and thereby angering environmentalists — or giving it a thumbs down — and alienating the energy industry and some union officials given the jobs that would likely be created — the president decided to "further evaluate" the issue and put off a decision until 2013 which, no doubt coincidentally, just happens to be after the next presidential election. In the meantime, the Canadians have indicated they are looking for alternative markets, including long-term contracts with the Chinese government. If so, there goes some of America's energy independence.
Given such crass political calculations, our dysfunctional government may be insuring Americans, at best, another year of economic drift and the stagnate labor market such indecision produces.

A study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that GameStop Corp (GME) is the #24 broker analyst pick among those stocks screened by The Online Investor for strong stock buyback activity. To make that list, a stock must have repurchased at least 5% of its outstanding shares over the trailing twelve month period. In forming the rank, the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses were tallied, and averaged; then, the list of stocks with strong buyback activity was ranked according to those averages.
Investors are often keenly interested in knowing which companies are buying back their own stock, because companies often will only make such a move if they feel their stock is undervalued. GameStop Corp is a company with strong buyback activity that is also considered a compelling buy by analysts; a bullish investor could take this to mean that sharp analyst minds came to the same bullish conclusion as the company itself that the stock is a good value, and therefore the stock should do well in the future.
Top 25 Analyst Picks With Strong Stock Repurchase Activity »
Analysts studying companies buying back their own stock will also factor into their analysis that future earnings will now be spread over a smaller share count, thereby increasing the per-share earnings the remaining shares will enjoy, versus what that same number would have been absent the stock buyback activity.
According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, GME makes up 2.77% of the Dynamic Retail Portfolio ETF (PMR) which is trading lower by about 0.1% on the day Tuesday.

MARK KEOHANE writes that Lappies Labuschagne has been the South African sensation in this year's Super Rugby.
We've had six rounds of Super Rugby, which is a fair time to assess whose hot and whose not.
These are my five standout players in the first six rounds
1. Lappies Labuschagne – Cheetahs
The Cheetahs flanker has been colossal in everything he has done. His work rate makes even the most industrious loose-forward appear lazy. Lappies is making on average 20-plus tackles a match, carrying the ball effectively and adding such presence to the Cheetahs pack. He is easily my pick of the South African forwards and the pick of all the forwards in the competition this season.
2. Pieter-Stef du Toit – Sharks
The young Sharks lock, with limited initial game time, made an impression every time, but his breakthrough performance was against the Brumbies when he showed the heart, desire and pedigree the older and more experienced players in the pack couldn't match. He was rewarded with a start against the Rebels and played with the authority of a player who had been around forever.
3. Duane Vermeulen – Stormers
He commands presence at the base and sets the tone with his physicality. He is more than just a brute, though, and he has good hands, plays well off the scrumhalf and can create with tactical awareness as much as he can impose with physicality.
4. Jacques Engelbrecht – Kings
Made a wonderful start to the tournament as a replacement for the injured Luke Watson and has excelled in a starting capacity ever since. The challenge for the Kings will be to keep him as already he is negotiating with the Bulls because of the uncertainty about the Kings' 2014 participation.
5. Adriaan Strauss – Cheetahs
The Cheetahs captain has been inspirational in everything he has done as a player and also as a captain. He leads by example, puts his body on the line and his calmness under pressure has been impressive. He just keeps on going, even when there shouldn't be anything left in the tank.
Heinrich Brussow, Andries Bekker and Pierre Spies have also been good, but the only backline player to show X-factor has been Gio Aplon.
Who's your five big SA performers to date? Limit them to five. And form can be the only consideration – form that is so obviously in a class of its own.

Seattle Dr. James Olson's work to help neurosurgeons more precisely see brain tumors is the subject of a short documentary that is a contender for a prize at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival.
Olson, a scientist based at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, worked with experts at the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital to develop Tumor Paint -- a molecule that lights up brain tumors so neurosurgeons can better distinguish cancer from normal tissue.
The documentary film is Bringing Light, and it's one of 20 finalists for the Sundance Film Festival's Focus Film Forward competition. Its backers are urging fans to go to the festival's website and vote to make the documentary an audience favorite, which would result in a screening during the annual gathering next month in Park City, Utah.
Watch and vote for Bringing Light.

Save the Date Magnets
I was so happy with the way my save the date magnets turned out. I opted for the Just One to see how it looked before ordering all of them at once and it was delivered within days of ordering. I was able to personalize my own colors and text. I noticed that the text became too large for the area easily, and I may have had the text in the lower right corner larger if I could have, but I really think it turned out fantastic anyway. The presentation of the items upon delivery was notable. They arrived in a high quality box that I have since used to keep track of stamps and other paper products. I also received 10 extra magnets, which was a pleasant surprise. In addition, a First Look book was included for invitations with a few samples, which was fun. The quality of the magnets is excellent. I did notice that some black flecks were shedding from the edges as we stuffed the envelopes, but that wasn't really anything to complain about. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product!
Save the Dates!!!
I had originally picked this magnet for our "Save the Dates" I changed the colors and even asked to change placement of some things. The sample they sent was great but I still wanted to tweak a few things on it. All of which the helpful people at Magent Street made possible. I then realized that my parents didn't have money in our budget for Save the Dates.... Still I couldn't help saving my work and looking at it every now and then. My fiancee, who noticed this surprised me, by saving some money and ordering them for us! I couldn't be happier with the product that we recieved! I would highly highly suggest buying this product!!!! The possibilities and options with fonts, colors and placement are endless! It is going to set the tone for our whole wedding and I am confident it will do the same for you!!!!
Simple and Classy
I've received so many compliments on the magnet. Everyone thinks it looks so elegant - we went with a white background, red branches and black/red lettering. My only wish is that the font size for the names had been a bit bigger (along with the date). Other than that, these were great!!
Great print quality!
I love my save the dates! The magnets came exactly as designed, and the print quality was flawless. I'm very pleased with my purchase!
Perfect Magnets
I was more than happy with my save the date magnets! The colors and design were exactly as they appeared online. Very happy!

wow...i just watched the fight expecting an absolute robbery because of everything ive been seeing on social media and what not but boy was i wrong. it was a really close fight and a valid case could be made that gsp won three rounds albeit doing way less damage.
i saw people on other sites saying this is worse than shogun/machida. no way in hell was this a worse decision. honestly it is more the scoring system's fault than the judges themselves this time. pride scoring system hendricks would have definitely won the fight

Which one? You'll have to wait and see. That's adding suspense to the shameless plug.

Andrew Carden set the tone early for the offense and a team effort established a stiff defensive effort for the
As a result, the Royals rolled to a 62-28 blowout of visiting
Two and a half minutes into the game, Carden took a pass from Jamison Jeffers while cutting through the right side of the lane and threw down a vicious one-handed dunk.
"It definitely sets the tone … gets everybody energized," Carden said of the play.
Carden and Jeffers each scored 12 points to lead the Royals (9-4 overall, 4-0 league), while Joshua Folwell added 11. Jay Saunders chipped in nine points in a balanced scoring attack.
All four, along with the entire nine-man rotation, contributed to what Jeffers said was the most complete defensive effort of the season.
"That's the first time we actually put a team away like we're supposed to, I think," Jeffers said. "I love playing defense the way I do. I had eight steals, I think, so I love playing defense like that."
Jeffers, who also recorded eight assists, picked up four of his five field goals following steals.
It was a defensive lockdown that forced the Lions (4-11, 1-2) into 32 turnovers.
"Instead of reaching and gambling, they just played help defense and (
