Comment: Great product! Fast Delivery!
John Morris
Comment: I received this just as it started getting cold, finaly. My first ride using this balaclava was at night with the temperature in the low 40's. With the wind chill, I have to say I still felt the cold wind on my neck. But, I bought this for my regular every day ride, which is to and from work at about 10:30 in the morning. The temperature was in the low 50's and this time around I did not feel the cold at all. So, this balaclava works when I need it to. It fits great, is not bulky and doesn't bunch under the helmet, which is what I wanted to avoid. Plus, you can't beat the price.

Winston Salem, NC
Comment: This balaclava is great for cool weather riding. As another reviewer stated, you can still feel the wind a bit in low temperatures (30-40 F), but it definitely takes the bite off. Makes it easier to put on my Vega Altura Stryker Helmet, an doesn't make my face too sweaty.

Chrissy Jean
Hopedale, MA
Comment: These are a great price and comfortable, I only wish they were a little longer in the front or split on neck so they would protect the neck a little better.Overall they do help quite a bit.
Comment: This is the first time I have ever worn anything under the helmet and it does keep me warmer than not having it. As always, Jafrum provides good quality products at a great price and fast shipping.
Portland, OR
Comment: This thing is awesome in cold weather, under a full face helmet or layered under my half helmet. On particularly cold days, I use this as a base layer, with a microfleece balaclava on top. It fits very tightly, and I wear glasses, so getting my glasses on while wearing this and my full helmet is an interesting experience. I actually snapped my glasses trying to wedge the earpiece under the balaclava. Not the product's fault at all, of course.
Comment: I love this item, it keeps my ears warmand also keeps me from having helmet hair.
Charlotte N.C.
Comment: I use for snowmobiling, riding four wheeler when it's chilly out and just bought this one as a extra for my bike!

Comment: Great product as always and fast shipping! I was very surprised when I wore this product as to how much of a difference it made on the cool mornings. Didn't think it would do much but works great!
Buffalo NY
Comment: Good fit and keeps wind off your face
West Islip NY
Comment: Used the frist time on fri was 61 kept face warm and dry worth way more than I expected as always great product at a great price!!!!!
SE Iowa
Comment: very thin material is still durable and definitely adds warmth, decreases air around neck and entering helmet. Fog can be an issue if rainy/humid. Also helps to limit chaffing on neck from jacket collar/helmet strap. Great to stuff in bag for cold days.
Comment: At this $ what more can I say??? Get one now.
Mattapoisett Mass.
Comment: Light weight, comfortable under helmet, and takes up very little space in the saddlebag...so I keep a couple handy year round. Blocks the wind from ears and whatever portion of the face you wish to cover -- and even helps a bit with helmet head! :) I've recommended these to everyone!
Georgia Mtns
Comment: Light material fits great under helmet , protects good from the wind.I used in temperature of 50 to 55 degrees and it work very good.
Jose Cancel
Temple, TX
Comment: Makes a world of difference! Glad that I bought two so that I always have a clean one available.
Lead Dog
Hiram GA
Comment: EVERYONE needs three or four of these. I just purchase three. Out for a ride with a two friends of mine and their kids. Temps began dropping. I had 4 of these in my bag and we were all able to get warm and keep the wind off us until the sun came out and warmed us up. They are light weight and take no room in your bag. So worth the few dollars. Plus I will use mine for skiing and snowsledding this winter.
Roberta Fogg
Turner, Maine
Comment: I bought two of these. One for me and one for my wife. Great product. We love the way it keeps the cold air from hitting our necks. It also makes it easier to put on our full helmets!
Larry Foreman
Chesapeake, Virginia
Comment: Very comfortable and cuts cold wind well with a 3/4 helmet. Don't need often, but works very well when needed. Bought two to have one available for rider.
Jacksonville, FL
Comment: At the Yamaha dealership they were asking $12-$20 for basically the same balaclava. Good pricing at Jafrum and fast delivery. Thanks.
Larry Ruby
Sykesville, MD
Comment: Bought for husband! Exactly as expected! Fast service
Comment: I bought this not knowing what to expect and saw the small package and thought- "no way this is going to keep me warm"---WRONG! It works great and keeps the wind off my neck.
Grapevine, TX
Comment: Its a must have if you ride in cold weather. Its a great piece of equip, keeps your head/ face warm. Use mine regularly. For the price you can't go wrong.
Comment: Fits real well but I am just unconfortable with having any zipper or stitched seam on my mouth or lips. I wear it inside out for a more pleasant feeling. Perhaps manufacturers can make the seam on the sides instead? Also, you may still feel the cold when riding in below freezing temperatures
Philadelphia Pa
Comment: This one is OK, it is more of a summer one to keep out the dry air in my opinion, it works OK for the cool, however the COLD you will have to add something. It"s light weight.
Ruben III
Orange County Ca
Comment: Does a good job of protecting one from the elements. Unfortunately, I'm moving to Florida so I guess my days using this are marked. A great bargain.
Comment: It Works, Its Affordable & Its Comfortable. What more can you ask for!
Matt USA
Midwest Missouri
Comment: I road with my new balaclava and it made the difference. It was 45 degree weather and it does the job to keep you from getting cold face. I would recommend this to anyone who rides in the cold!
Alex Acosta
Weslaco, TX
Comment: I bought 2 of these for my grandsons to wear while riding our ATV.They work great in midtemps.We have heavier ones for colder temps but we are very happy with these.
Galveston Indiana
Comment: This would be great if your on a budget. For the price its great. Comfort is not too good. The seam comes right over the nose. Wish I spent a little more and got a better one. Its still a good balaclava for the price.
Tony S.
San Bruno
Comment: I am using it every time I ride. It protect my face against bugs, stones, cold weather, and the heat of the sun. It is very useful. Go get your own.
Nanie Encarnacion
Comment: I was not sure about this when I bought it but it works great and fits my overly huge head.
Big Jim
Comment: Nothing against the product, my wife loves hers and it fits her perfectly,, she wears a small helmet.. Now I'm here to say without malice that one size does not fit all.. I wear a XX helmet and the balaclava is way too tight. Within 6 miles I was ripping it off my big head. Appears to be a quality product if they offered other sizes.
Joseph, Oregon
Comment: Does as it's described. Can't beat the price either,
Comment: Goo0d qaulity materials and workmanship. Very effective to ward off the cold and keep your face warm. Can't beat the price. Great service from Jafrum too.

Comment: comfortable and warm exactly what I need
Texas (TX)
Comment: Nice fit. Very comfortable. Cuts the wind.
state college, pennsylvania
Comment: Polyester or satin is what you want in material. It puts a middle dent on my forehead from the seam and my tight helmet, but that is ok. These are the best product and the best price!
Phil Bailey
Anaheim, CA

adrian hernandez
perris, california
Comment: This a great product, all-in-one unit; very satisfied.
Wesley Malone Sr
Whiteriver, AZ
Comment: I haven't got to use it yet. It looks like a robbers stocking mask with the face cut out, but price is cheap. I will have to listen to reviews and try it before commenting, but all other gear I ordered was great price and quality and free shipping. Very pleased.
seffner fl
Comment: Definitely blocks the wind. Most, not all, of the cold as well. Only issue I didn't care for was the seam runs down the middle of the front. The seam rubs against your nose and mouth, seems like they could move it to a more comfortable spot.
Brandon Barlage
Miller City OH
Comment: Always the best Products from Jafrum, my third purchase!
Comment: Been riding around NY past couple of weeks
this bala is good for me at 40f<40mph. Colder
or faster gets a little brisk.
Westchester County NY
Comment: As advertised. A little shorter than expected, very comfortable.
Comment: About what I expected for $3.95. Warn and fits under my helmet very nicely. The only problem I have with it is the seam at my chin is a little rough.
Meansville, Ga.
Comment: for the price, you should not expect much .. it does provide good insulation between the skull and the helmet, but not warm enough for Northeast weather where I live.
New York, NY
Comment: Can't complain. Cheap enough. Seam along the middle is slightly annoying. Always fast shipping from Jafrum.
Browns Mills NJ
Comment: Just used mine for the first time last weekend ,worked better then expected kept wind and cold off my face without over heating my head

- See also: Virginia attorney general election, 2013
Bell ran for the Republican nomination for attorney general in 2013.[5] Bell lost to Harrisonburg State Senator Mark Obenshain at the Republican Party of Virginia's statewide primary nominating convention on May 17-18. The general election took place on November 5, 2013.
Race background
In March 2013, Governing magazine rated Virginia's open attorney general seat as "vulnerable" heading into the 2013-2014 elections because incumbent Republican Ken Cuccinelli was not running for re-election.[6]
The race to replace Cuccinelli began at the primary nomination stage; both Republican convention and Democratic election candidates drew primary contests. On May 18, two "strong fiscal and social conservatives"[6] -- state Sen. Mark Obenshain and state Rep. Rob Bell -- competed for delegate votes at the Republican Party of Virginia's closed nominating convention, which Obenshain won.[7] The nominee's late father, GOP politician Richard Obenshain, died in a plane crash during his 1978 campaign for U.S. Senate. Obenshain faced state Sen. Mark Herring in the general election. Herring defeated former assistant U.S. Attorney for Virginia Justin Fairfax in the Democratic primary election, which took place on June 11, 2013.[8][6]
Although Obenshain was considered the early front-runner, polls showed Herring leading by a very slim margin in late October 2013, a likely effect, or occupational hazard, for Obenshain, of sharing what had become a contaminated GOP ticket. One week before election day, at least two influential backers - Planned Parenthood and Independence USA PAC - hoped to widen the gap with roughly one million dollars worth of media spots lampooning Obenshain for his past support of a "personhood" amendment, which would have banned birth control and abortions regardless of the circumstances," in addition to his stance against increased background checks on prospective gun owners. Independence USA PAC was heavily driven by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The PAC had already invested millions into ads hammering "far-right" Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli for his affiliation with the National Rifle Assocation (NRA), and the buys against Obenshain sought to lump the lesser-known AG contender together with Cuccinelli, who was the most recognizable, and possiblly most troubled, candidate appearing on the party's statewide ticket in 2013. Meanwhile, the NRA went on the counterattack; the organization unleashed a $500,000 anti-Herring ad into targeted Virginia markets.[9][10] The NRA's assistance paled in comparison, however, to the $2.6 million infusion from the Republican State Leadership Committee into the effort to elect Obenshain, whom the committee viewed as the only hope for preventing Democrats from scoring a clean sweep of the state-row races in 2013.[11]
On November 8, 2011, Bell won re-election to District 58 of the Virginia House of Delegates. He was uncontested in the August 23 primary and ran unopposed the November 8 general election.[12]
In 2009, Bell was re-elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.[13]

Keo, in his News24 column writes that childish decision-making among South Africa's rugby bosses continues to stifle any progress.
Weak national leadership has also once again suffocated the Boks' 2007 World Cup challenge.
South African rugby was summed up this week in the decisions following the debate as to who should and should not play in the remainder of the Currie Cup. The inability to compromise and the reluctance to embrace the immediate situation meant that everyone lost.
Jake White now has a national camp and he has to work with players he knows he won't take on the end of year tour or to next year's World Cup. He has to do this because these players have national contracts. Other players, new to the national side but not nationally contracted, are off limits to any national workshops in the next two months.
The provinces want to get rid of those out of form national players and palm them off to the national coach because it means the national governing body pays their salary for the next two months. What a few months ago was a discussion that would supposedly benefit the national equation now only gives comfort to the unions.
Those players who made their test debuts this season, but have played in most test matches still have to play Currie Cup rugby. The province gains and the Springboks' World Cup campaign suffers.
The situation reached the ridiculous this week when it was argued that Western Province had an unfair advantage if De Wet Barry, Hanyani Shimange and Eddie Andrews were released for Currie Cup duty, but Victor Matfield and company were not. The three Western Province players have lost their places in the national squad and have struggled to make the starting XV at their unions.
Common sense failed to triumph in the latest discussions. National teams' general manager Andy Marinos was a desperate man, totally dumbfounded by the inability of the provinces to be rational. The provinces were non-plussed. They had agreed to a formula that the 24 nationally-contracted players would not play in the Currie Cup and that is the way it would remain. They now wanted their financial compensation.
It highlighted why South African rugby will always be in trouble. Provinces determine the national well-being when it should be the other way around.
New Zealand, a day after completing their Tri Nations schedule, released a list detailing exactly when each one of their national squad of 30 would return to domestic rugby. For some it was one week. For others it would be in five weeks.
A week after that the national coach released a list of 22 players who would not play in the first seven matches of the Super 14. The regions unanimously backed the move. Robbie Deans, coach of the champion Crusaders and the hardest hit by the absentee of Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, applauded the decision, arguing it was in the best interests of the All Blacks. He said it would also provide a new generation of player with exposure to Super rugby.
New Zealand rugby boss Jock Hobbs was defiant when questioned about the absence of 22 All Blacks from the Super 14. He said that New Zealand would still dominate the competition. He had full confidence in the other talent.
When NewsCorp threatened legal action and financial compensation, Hobbs told them to bring it on. The New Zealand Rugby Union is doing everything to give the All Blacks the best possible chance of winning the World Cup.
In South Africa everything is being done to trip up the Boks. Jake White has been guilty of too many implosions this year, but it does not mean that those around him have to do the same thing.
White needs common sense to be the unifying factor in South African rugby, but the decisions around the Boks are being made for the wrong reasons.
The Currie Cup coaches and CEO's won't budge because it does not suit them. Forget the national relevance. Even SARU president Oregan Hoskins has motivated the decision of not withdrawing national squad players from next year's Super 14 on the basis that South Africa did not want to upset the broadcaster.
Who gives a toss about the broadcaster in this instance? The broadcaster has never cared about the needs of the player or any specific World Cup campaign. This week showcased the weak leadership of South African rugby.
It was a week that demanded the right decisions be made for the right reasons, which is the 2007 World Cup. The situation demanded healthy confrontation and a decisive hand to be played by the SARU president.
It never happened.
There was a definite lack of confrontation and all that was confirmed was that the rugby leadership in this country stills values a Currie Cup campaign more than a World Cup campaign.
It highlights the insular mess that is South African rugby.
In the next month Pierre Spies will play for the Bulls, while De Wet Barry will be getting French lessons for a trip he is unlikely to make. And the guys who make these decisions then go cap in hand to the public and sponsors for emotional and financial support of the national team.
It's bloody ridiculous and darn right shameful.

Blessed John Pelingotto
- John Pelino Goto
- Giovanni Pelino Goto
Son of a wealthy merchant, John cared nothing for business, wealth or worldly success and preferred to live as a hermit. He eventually felt a call to help the poor and sick in the world, and gave away food, clothes and wealth, going hungry, living in rags, wearing a rope around his neck to indicate that he was a sinner in need of punishment, and falling into lengthy ecstasy. His family worried about his health, both physical and mental, and they had to bring him in from the street. He became a Franciscan tertiary, and with the support and discipline they provided, he was able to properly devote his life to prayer and charity

The New York Yankees are in Baltimore for Easter Weekend to play a three game set against their division rival Orioles. So far in 2011, the Yankees are 2-0 against the Orioles.
The first game on Friday night the Orioles will send 25-year-old, righty Brad Bergesen to the mound to face Yankees ace and one of the best pitchers in baseball CC Sabathia.
Orioles Brad Bergesen:
Bergesen will have his hands full with the hot Yankees bats of Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Alex Rodriguez.
Cano has an 11-hitting streak going; and A-rod has hit a home-run and two RBIs in nine at-bats vs. Bergesen. In Granderson's seven at-bats against Bergesen, he has a .555 batting average; with three hits, one double, three RBIs, a walk and zero strikeouts.
Bergesen has had some success versus the Yankees, as Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter have yet to get a hit in a combined 17 at-bats. He also pitched two innings of relief in New York back on April 13th, not giving up a hit and striking out two of the six Bombers he faced even though the Orioles lost the game 7-4.
Still, for the Orioles to have any chance to win the first game of the weekend, Bergesen has to pitch like he did in relief 10 days ago, but for about four more innings.
He has made two prior starts in 2011 posting a 0-2 record, throwing a combined 8.2 innings, allowing seven hits, three homers, four earned runs and striking out five. That isn't going to cut it with the way the Yankees are hitting.
Sabathia's 0-1 record over four starts is not an accurate account of his performances. Sabathia has a 2.52 ERA in just over 25 innings pitched.
This is Sabathia's slowest start and the only time he hasn't posted a win in four outings in his 10 past seasons. Sabathia would throw nine innings all the time, but skipper Joe Girardi is not going to allow Sabathia or any Yankee pitcher get overused.
Sabathia is 14-2 in his career against the Orioles, so going eight innings is something Girardi would love to see. Whether Sabathia can keep his pitch count below 100 through seven innings is the question. Sabathia's pitch count has been over 100 in all four outings, but only once vs. the Twins did he throw an efficient 104 pitches in seven full innings.
MY PREDICTION (and plea):
The motto in baseball or any other team sport is you win as a team; you lose, as a team. With the idea that no player is supposed to ever ask or imply otherwise, but this is America and to say it has never happened would be lying.
I can guarantee that selfish attitude has and never will materialize from a player like CC Sabathia. So I have no reason not to hope that Sabathia's Yankee teammates win this game for their ace, who has come through above and beyond for the team, both as a player and a person.
Obviously the Yankees and the O's both want to come away with the win, but the Yankees have an extra reason to make sure it happens in this game.
It would be hard to imagine that the Yankee players aren't thinking about winning for CC and my guess is that is exactly what will happen.
Yankees beat the Orioles with a final score of 10-2.
2011 MLB FACT: The Bombers are the only team in baseball who has not lost two games in a row this season. They also have the most homeruns with 30 already on the season.

Round 4 of Mid-States Conference Concludes At Hallett On Sunday
JENNINGS, Okla. (April 7, 2013) – The SCCA Mid-States Conference Majors Tour wrapped Round Four of 10 on Sunday at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, with four drivers still alive in the hunt for a perfect season.
Matt Reynolds, of Fair Oaks, Texas, drove his No. 71 Reynolds Brothers Racing/Jesse Prather Motorsports Mazda Miata away from the field for his fourth-consecutive win in E Production, matched in the opening race group by Kent Prather's No. 26 PratherRacing/Mazdaspeed/Moss Mtrs Mazda Miata in GT-Lite and Charlie James' No. 0 SafeRacer/BFGoodrich Tires MINI Cooper in B-Spec.
CJ McAbee, of Topeka, Kan., equaled the closed-wheel trio with an overall win in Group Two, despite starting his Formula 500 machine in the second wave of the split start. McAbee's No. 15 AJ's Import Garage/Hoosier AJ's 2012/Rotax got a boost in the overall race by an opening lap incident that slowed the 25-lap race for six laps behind the pace car.
Naturally, each leads his respective class point standings.
Denny Stripling swept the weekend in Spec Racer Ford. Two wins in the No. 34 Lightspeed Motorsports Spec Racer Ford, along with a pair of podium finishes in the opening weekend at Circuit of the Americas, is worth a five point advantage over Verges' No. 69 Apex Driving Academy SRF. Stripling had garnered a lead of several seconds in the opening laps before Verges spun, falling all the way back to fifth before climbing the ladder into second place.
Reynolds garnered a second win on Sunday by wrestling his No. 74 Reynolds Bros. Racing/Race Engineering Mazda Miata to victory in Spec Miata. Reynolds stalked polesitter Jim Drago's No. 2 East Street Racing Mazda Miata and Chris Haldeman's No. 73 Complete Dent Repair/X-factorracing.com Miata early, until Haldeman fell out on Lap Five with transmission trouble. Reynolds ran laps nine and 10 at an average of 0.7 seconds per lap quicker than Drago to close the gap, and then drove past Drago under braking into Turn One to take the lead on lap 11.
Drago reclaimed the lead on lap 17, holding the point until lap 20. With five to go, the pair made side-to-side contact while battling for the lead. Drago spun off course, and Reynolds was able to drive to the checkered flag.
Defending National Champion Drago rejoined the race in fifth position, climbing back up and passing the No. 97 Miata of Eric Stearns on the final lap for the final podium position. James – he of two B-Spec wins this weekend – finished second in the No. 40 SafeRacer Miata.
Though Hallett is known as a tight, twisty circuit, the GT-1 drivers put on a show for the second time in as many days. Tom Smith's No. 62 USA Metal Recycling Chevrolet Camaro started on pole, followed within a car length by David Fershtand's No. 05 Fershtand Race Prepared Chevrolet Corvette.
Like Saturday's race, Fershtand was unable to find a way around Smith, with Smith crossing the stripe 0.503-second in front for the win.
After sitting behind the No. 23 Hillenburg Motorsports Formula Mazda of Darryl Wills for 24 laps, Alan McCallum drove the No. 1 Alan McCallum Racing Formula Mazda into the lead on the final lap of the day to grab his second win of the weekend.
The SCCA Mid-States Conference Majors Tour continues at Pikes Peak International Raceway, May 24-26, for Rounds Five and Six of 10.

Booze cruise leads to Powell axing
Andy Powell has been removed from the Wales squad after being arrested for drink driving.
Police arrested the Wales loose forward on Sunday and Powell has since been charged for the offence. After discussions with the player himself, it has been decided by management that he should be suspended from the squad for behaviour contrary to the squad's code of conduct.
'This kind of behaviour cannot be tolerated in a professional, elite sporting environment and we have acted quickly and incisively in order to leave no ambiguity over the dim view we take of this situation,' said team manager Alan Phillips.'
No replacement has been called for although hooker Ken Owens comes in as cover for Matthew Rees (groin) and Gareth Williams (knee).
Kearney crocked
Rob Kearney will miss Ireland's next Test against England due to a knee injury sustained last Saturday.
The fullback strained a medial ligament in his right knee in the 33-10 defeat to France. Reports from Dublin confirm Kearney will miss the 27 February match at Twickenham.
Brian O'Driscoll (knee), Leo Cullen (ankle) and John Hayes (head) are all carrying niggles but should be fit for this Test.
Flannery collared for kick
Jerry Flannery has been cited for a kick on a French player and will face a disciplinary hearing this week.
The Ireland hooker was nailed by Independent Citing Commissioner for the France vs Ireland match, Peter Brown (Scotland), for an alleged kick on France's wing Alexis Palisson in contravention of Law 10.4 (c).
Flannery will face an independent Six Nations disciplinary committee this week.

Made of durable 75-denier polyester fabric, the house has a sound sensor that detects when smaller candy-seekers and hand-holding parents walk under its 72"-high arched portal. When triggered, the house's 60 LEDs flash and change color from red to green while its built-in sound chip plays a 15-second loop of scary sounds. A witch perches on a flaming cauldron in front, a leafless tree sits at the front corner, and a skeleton and black cat peer out of the top windows. Eleven stakes and five ropes tether the house to the ground during the season's breezes. The included air blower provides constant inflation in less than 15 minutes. 4 1/2' cord plugs into AC. 12' H x 11 3/4' W x 5' D. (14 lbs.)

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve and Treasury announced a new program to further shore up the banking industry in the face of a recession that appears to still be worsening. The program would devote $200 billion to shoring up consumer credit markets, including credit cards, car loans, and student loans. The hope is that this new program will make these forms of credit more widely available to people who need them, including students who depend on private loans to help pay for school.
The New York Times explains that this is the first time the federal government has intervened to finance consumer debt and describes the program as " com[ing] close to being a government bank." Coupled with recent efforts to expand and sustain federal student financial aid programs, namely the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), the federal government has expended a fairly vast amount of resources on student financial aid. However, some are questioning how the money is being spent.
The Project on Student Debt is one organization that has encouraged the federal government to exclude private student loans from rescue packages. While the lending industry has been hit hard in the last year, this organization is one of several voices urging that students be steered towards more affordable means of financing their educations. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, while supporting the Treasury's decision, also called for a reevaluation of the role of private loans in paying for college. Private student loans, which carry higher interest rates than federal loans, are intended to be used as a last resort after Federal Stafford Loans, campus-based aid programs, and scholarship money have been exhausted and students are still coming up short on their education expenses.

It's hard to believe, but next week it will be December. While it's tempting to train your eyes on the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and the accompanying problem of consuming enough homecooked food to sustain you through finals, the next few months will be busy, especially if you're planning to apply for any sort of financial aid. Between your high school or college coursework and adjusting your schedule and budget to accommodate winter holidays, December and January tend to fly by. Since many scholarship application deadlines happen in December and January, now is the perfect time to do a quick scholarship search and double check that you don't miss out on applying for scholarships while you're in Thursday night's turkey-induced coma.
A Thanksgiving week scholarship application checklist:
November 24, 2008
High school students, you know that part-time job you have? It turns out it might be worth more than minimum wage and the very first line on your resume. Through programs like this week's Scholarship of the Week, part-time student employees can find money for college beyond what they see in their paychecks.
Burger King's Have It Your Way Foundation offers $1,000 college scholarships to high school seniors in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico who participate in co-curricular or volunteer activities (such as athletics or community service) and maintain their grades while working at least 15 hours a week.
Prize: $1000
Eligibility: Current high school seniors with a minimum GPA of 2.5 (out of 4.0) who work part-time and demonstrate community or extracurricular involvement and who plan to enroll in an accredited college or university the following fall.
Deadline: February 2, 2009
Required Materials: Completed online scholarship application, found on the Burger King website.
Further details about the application process can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search on Scholarships.com. Once the search is completed, students eligible for this scholarship award will find it in their search results.

Interested in online courses? You may want to look into attending college in Minnesota. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and David Olson, the chair of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) board of trustees, announced a plan to make 25% of the university system's courses available online by 2015. Other state universities, including the University of Minnesota campuses, are strongly encouraged to work towards this goal, as well.
Online courses can benefit students in multiple ways, most notably by saving students living off-campus the cost of commuting and giving them a more flexible schedule so they can more easily juggle work and family commitments in addition to coursework. Additionally, in the cold Minnesota winters, being able to attend class from the comfort of your home is a definite plus (though still having class on those rare snow days could also be seen as a drawback). While online learning requires students to be more self-motivated than those in traditional classes, more and more students are finding such courses appealing.
Online degree programs are gaining popularity across the country. A recent study revealed that over 20 percent of American college students took at least one online course in 2007 and that distance learning enrollment continues to increase. A number of colleges and universities are interested in increasing their online course offerings, and the MnSCU system hopes to beat them to the punch.
November 20, 2008
Amid news of tightening budgets and declining endowments, several colleges and universities are putting a greater focus on shoring up financial aid programs and helping their students find money for college. While reports of hiring freezes and halted construction plans has come from numerous institutions, keeping students in school has remained a priority.
This focus on student financial aid is reflected in recent fund raising shifts, as reported in the Wall Street Journal. Several schools are introducing or ramping up fund raising efforts directed at providing college scholarships and grants for their students. Among the private colleges increasing fund raising efforts are Cornell University and Barnard College. State universities, such as the University of Texas at Austin, are also increasing effort to meet students' growing financial needs.
College presidents at multiple institutions are even dipping into their own salaries and savings to help their schools. A recent news post in the Chronicle of Higher Education reports that the chancellor of Washington University in St. Louis has taken a voluntary 10% pay cut to help reduce operating costs, and the president of the University of Pennsylvania has donated $100,000 to help fund undergraduate research at her university.
All of this goes to show that despite economic trouble, scholarship opportunities are still out there. Keep plugging away at your scholarship search and you can still afford a college education.
November 19, 2008
A struggling economy, shrinking endowments, turmoil in the student loan marketplace, and state budget cuts have all raised questions about students' continued ability to pay for school. However, despite economic troubles, at least one state has plans to launch a new program to help its students find money for college in the form of low-interest student loans.
Connecticut students will soon have one more source of student financial aid, thanks to a new partnership between the state and its credit unions. The loan program, announced yesterday by the governor's office, would provide up to $17.5 million in student loans for college students from Connecticut and students attending college in the state.
Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell met with officials from the state's credit unions on Tuesday to discuss the partnership. Under the proposed college loan program, students would borrow directly from the credit unions at interest rates of 5.75 or 6 percent. Each credit union would be required to offer at least $100,000 in student loans to participate in the program. The loans are designed to help families who don't have access to sufficient amounts of financial aid, such as federal Stafford loans, to cover their tuition bills. The governor's press release did not make mention of borrowing limits or requirements.
November 18, 2008
Are you considering a career in public service, such as working for the government or a non-profit organization, but more than slightly overwhelmed by the thought of repaying your student loans with an often minuscule salary? Realizing that you may actually be taking a pay cut to transition from your summer job to your "grown up" career can be demoralizing, and dealing with debt on top of that certainly doesn't help. While many noble individuals certainly make this sacrifice, perhaps you were hoping to forget where the grocery store kept its "manager's special" items after you graduated. And who can blame you? The college budget diet, and the accompanying lifestyle of cramming half a dozen people into one run-down apartment, eventually does get old. Luckily, there are forms of financial aid out there to minimize or relieve your debt and help you stretch that public servant salary a little further.
Some of the most well-known career-based assistance programs are designed for teachers. The TEACH grant contributes $4000 a year towards the tuition of students who agree to teach a high-need subject at a low-income school for four years. Other programs such as Teach for America offer teaching certification, a stipend, and assistance with student loan repayment to individuals agreeing to teach in certain schools.
Teachers and other public servants can also qualify to have their Federal Perkins Loans canceled, saving up to $16,000. Nursing students and other medical students can get in on this program, as well. The federal government also launched a public service loan repayment program a year ago that will forgive qualifying federal student loan debt for those who commit ten years to public service. In addition, a variety of government scholarships provide incentives for students in various majors to consider federal work.
An article appearing in USA Today this week also mentions some university-specific programs to help steer students towards public service careers. Harvard Law School will waive tuition for one year for students who commit to five years in government or non-profit fields, and Princeton University will provide free master's degrees to eight 2008 graduates who first put in two years in federal jobs. Tufts University is also helping its undergraduate students pay down debt or pursue graduate degrees if they commit a few years to public service work.
If you're leaning towards a career with a government agency or non-profit organization, be aware of the scholarships, grants, fellowships, internships, and loan repayment programs out there. Include a free college scholarship search in your research to find out about many of your options for funding your education and minimizing your debt.

Lean Six Sigma
- 16-weeks
- 3 credits
- Prerequisite: X201 or X202
The purpose of this course is to introduce undergraduate business students to the Lean Six Sigma methodology and related statistical tools at the green belt level of competency, and to equip those students to become significant contributors on lean six sigma projects in the future. Our goal is for every student to understand the framework, tools and have the ability to use those tools at the level of proficiency identified by the American Society of Quality (ASQ) at the greenbelt level. Toward that end we will be using the "official" training material as our course material. At the end of the class, students will take a final exam that is a simulation of the exam that is given by ASQ-(in terms of coverage and length. Actual ASQ questions and exams are confidential and only revealed during an actual certification exam.)

Energy is essential to life. Living creatures draw on energy flowing through the environment and convert it to forms they can use. Over time, many different sources of energy have been discovered, developed, used and in some cases, abused. Some energy sources, such as solar and wind (among others) are considered renewable, and therefore environmentally friendly, because they do not deplete the planet of valuable resources, nor do they contribute heavily to greenhouse gas emissions.
Other energy sources are cause for concern because they produce serious pollutants, specifically coal and petroleum (oil), which are both ubiquitous in the world of energy production. The burning of these, which produces power for electricity, emits CO2, NO3, ozone and other greenhouse gases that contribute directly to climate change. Scientists and researchers worldwide have worked for years to establish prevalence of cleaner, more renewable forms of energy in order to decrease human exacerbation of global warming and climate change.

- Got A Question?
When it comes to detailing the exterior of a vehicle, it is essential to use the right product and equipment to achieve the goal set forth. Because there are so many products on the market, sometimes it's hard to know what to use and when.
If you've been in the business for a few years you probably know most of the products and tricks of the trade. However, if you're new to the industry, it can be quite confusing. The idea behind this article is to inform you of the different types of products and equipment needed to perform professional detail services.The right way to apply
The first step in understanding the different products is to properly clean the vehicle. Before you get started, the vehicle should be washed of all road grime or contaminants on the surface. Next is determining which service you are offering.
For instance:
Certain waxes will offer better protection than others, so consult with your supplier for your best options. A paint sealant offers some of the best protection and lasts longer than conventional waxes. Studies have shown that most waxes get soft and begin to break down at 80° F degrees, while many paint sealants are heat resistant up to 250° F degrees. Many car dealers offer this as a protection plan and charge roughly $400 to $800.Compounds
Compounds are made to remove light scratches, scuffs, oxidation and many other contaminants such as bird deposits, bugs, road grime, and tree sap, etc. The degree of difficulty to remove or minimize the problem in the paint will dictate which compound to use.
If you're not sure which product to use, it's a good idea to start with the mildest first, and then upgrade if needed. Most vehicles have a clear coat paint finish and using a clear coat compound does the trick 90 percent of the time.
You will need a more aggressive compound in order to take out deeper scratches or after wet sanding a scratch. Although you can rub out scratches by hand, using a professional buffer is much easier and less labor intensive. A buffer is good for light problems or a hi–speed buffer when speed and heat is needed to repair the problem.
You can finish the job by applying a swirl wax, paint sealant, cream wax or polish.Speed glazes
Speed glazes are one of the best quick wax products on the market. Most of these products are made to be used as a quick finish. You can apply them to the paint while wet or dry.
Many carwashes use this product for a quick and inexpensive express detail. Car dealers will use this product to wipe off finger prints on showroom vehicles. It's as easy as spray on and wipe off.Waxes
Waxes include a multitude of products. Basically, all of these (whether paste, one–step, swirl, polish cream or finish) work the same way. Once the paint has been treated with a compound or clay to remove overspray and other contaminants, you can use any of these products to finish the job.
Any type of buffer, orbital, cyclo or hi–speed, will do the job, just make sure you use the correct pad for finishing. Talk to your supplier if you're not sure of which pads to use. The rule of thumb is, if it feels course or rough, it is used for cutting. With compounds, if it feels soft, it is used for finishing.
When using the orbital, usually there is a terry cloth side and a velour side. Use the velour side for finishing.Clays
Clay bars are used with a lubricant that removes the contamination from the surface. A clay bar is not designed to remove scratches or oxidation. It is a great product to get a paint finish to feel like glass. A step–by–step procedure would be to clay the paint, then compound it if needed, and then finish with wax or a sealant.
Caution: If you have never used a hi–speed buffer, it would be a good idea to go to the junk yard and get a hood to practice on before starting. Or attend a professional training program that many companies offer.
Once you know what to use and how to use it, you will not waste materials, time, or money, which of course, helps your bottom line.

The objective of the Manual Review feature is to be able to assign a violation to a user and start a discussion thread which should possibly lead to the correction of the violation.
Review lifecycle
A review has four possible status : Open, Resolved, Reopened and Closed. Sonar automatically takes care of closing a review as soon as its underlying violation gets resolved, which means that no one can close an issue manually.
The first status of review is Open. From there a review can be resolved with one the the two resolution types : Fixed or False-Positive. At any point of time a Resolved review can be reopened either by the user or by Sonar. Indeed, if a review is marked as Resolved with resolution Fixed but the violation is still there after a new Sonar analysis, Sonar automatically reopens the review.
Reviews can be managed in action plans.
Create a review
To create a review, you must be first logged in and have the Users role on the project containing the violation to review. Then, directly in the resource viewer, a new "Review" link appears to start creating a new review when placing the mouse over the violation title :
A comment must be filled before being able to really create the review by clicking on the "Add comment" button :
By default, a review is assigned to the creator of the review but the assignee can be changed or simply removed.
Once a review has been created on a violation, every Sonar user can see the review below the violation :
Only the last comment on a review can be edited by the creator of this last comment.
Flag as false-positive
If a violation is a false-positive, this is pretty straight forward to switch off this violation by clicking on the "Flag as false-positive" link:
Once a violation is switched off, this violation is no more displayed by default in the resource viewer. The option "False-Positives only" must be selected to display those false-positive violations:
Moreover, all measures on the project like the number of violations will be updated the next time a Sonar analysis will run.
Reopen a review
Once a review has been fixed or flagged as false positive, it's stil possible to reopen it at any point of time :
Search for reviews
The Reviews page allows to search for any review with optional filter parameters like the project, the author of the review, the severity of the violations, the status of the review,... :
By default, all reviews assigned to the current user are displayed.
Clicking on the title of a review allows to display the detail of this review :
Since Sonar 2.9, it's also possible to track false-positive reviews from this search engine :
Create a manual violation
Whenever a quality defect is detected "manually", the person who detected it has the ability to create a new violation (with its associated review) directly into Sonar.
The related violation is then displayed within the source code and will be accounted for in metrics after the next analysis of the project.
Change the severity of a violation
Create an action plan
Action plans can be created to group reviews together. Action plans are buckets of reviews that you want to group as they are going to have similar timeframe for resolution
Link a review to an action plan
Each review can be linked to an action plan.
Sonar comes with several widgets that are specialized to display reviews information in dashboards. Those widgets are grouped in their own category in the dashboard configuration:
Here is the type of dashboard you can create to manage reviews:
