Chapman has its eyes set on the postseason after matching the best record in school history at 8-1 in 2013. The Panthers finished second in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
"It's always been our goal, since we've been in the SCIAC, to be able to win the SCIAC," said coach Bob Owens.
Senior quarterback and team captain Michael Lahey returns as the conference's reigning Offensive Player of the Year. He led the nation in completion percentage and ranked fifth in passing efficiency, throwing for 1,961 yards and 16 touchdowns with just four interceptions.
"Michael is a tremendous leader," Owens said. "We expect him to bring the kind of continuous leadership that he gives us on a day to day basis."
Senior Raymond Huizar and junior Andrew Chavez will back up Lahey at quarterback.
Though the Panthers lost several starters, including wide receiver Robin Harris and offensive lineman Justin LaLonde, the team is loaded with returners who played extensive minutes.
Seniors Cody Chapple, Kean Stancil and Terrell Dolberry return at running back. Chapple led the team with 1,084 all-purpose yards and scored 11 touchdowns in 2013.
Jeremiah McKibbins, who sat out last season with a knee injury, will bolster the running backs. In 2012, McKibbins rushed for a school-record 148.8 yards per game, which ranked sixth in the nation.
The core of the offensive line returns, including junior Chris Hicks. The line will be helped by senior tight end and All-SCIAC selection Anthony Ezeakunne, who caught 14 passes for 173 yards and three touchdowns in 2013.
The Panthers' offense ranked in the top 10 in Division III in total offense and scoring last season.
On defense, Chapman returns its anchor in senior linebacker Greg Johnson. The team captain led the Panthers with 64 tackles in 2013, including a pair of sacks. He will be helped by linebackers Garrett Frediani, a junior, and Miles Ahles, a sophomore.
Most of the secondary from last season returns, including senior Osayande Aikhionbare, who led Chapman with 44 solo tackles and finished with 56 total tackles and one interception.
The Panthers will open the season Sept. 13 at home against powerhouse Linfield College. Linfield has won five consecutive conference championships and owns the all-divisions record of 58 consecutive winning seasons.
"It will be an exciting football game," Owens said. "It's a great home opener, and it'll tell us a lot about ourselves and it'll speak a lot to how much growth we've had up to this point."VOLLEYBALL
The women's team returns several starters from its 2013 squad that finished with a 17-12 overall record and earned a trip to the SCIAC postseason tournament semifinals.

Here again the same inconsistency. One speculation and not the other. You're happy moving some of the conditions of Nadal's time, like an all-hardcourt USO, into Borg's time. But other conditions of Nadal's time, you won't give to Borg. Imagine if Borg, Connors and McEnroe had an AO in their time that was on par with the other Slams, in terms of prize money, prestige, attendance and ranking points; and imagine it was played in January, starting a new season rather than cutting into the off-season. There is no way that under those conditions, Borg, Connors and McEnroe would not be playing the AO every year.
About your first speculation, putting the USO at Flushing Meadow throughout Borg's career: as I said above, he would probably be taking early losses in those early years. But paradoxically I think it improves his chances of winning at Flushing when he hits his peak. In '78 when the USO moved to Flushing, it was a necessary but controversial move; people complained about the surface, the planes, the noise, the lights, you name it. But after a few years, the hullabaloo died down to some extent, as people realized this was what the USO was going to be. There were a lot of things about Flushing that Borg did not like, but if he'd been playing there from the start, as a teen, I think there would have been a good chance that he would have settled in by the late 70s and adapted to the place -- like Stefan Edberg did after many uncomfortable years there.
So no, I don't agree with your "absolute best unlikely case scenario no better". I think if you put Borg at Flushing from the beginning of his career, his chances of taking the title late in his career (as Nadal did) improve.

Meanwhile if we want to do a hypothetical for all from Borg's vantage point, now the Australian Open is on grass for all 3 rather than hards, and all playing in full fields like a regular slam each year, all time grass GOAT Sampras then gains a TON more slams vs the few Borg gains, and Nadal probably even gains an additional 1 or 2 as he is better on grass than hard courts himself. So in the latter scenario Borg might stand in better stead vs Nadal, but yet even worse vs Sampras.
You can't assume zero wins for Borg on AO hardcourts just because he didn't win at Flushing. He lost at Flushing to three Americans (Connors, Tanner and McEnroe) who had the highest possible motivation -- winning their home Slam -- and who all fed off the rowdy energy at Flushing, or were, at worst, comfortable with it. Connors was never better than in front of the New York crowd; and McEnroe was born in New York.
In Australia it would have been reversed. Sampras mentioned in his book how he didn't particularly like the AO, for various little reasons (including the surface); obviously he found his deepest motivation at Wimbledon and at his home Slam. I guess that would have been generally true for the Americans that Borg lost to.
Sampras also mentioned how much the Swedes tended to like the AO. I think he put it down to how they thrived in the intense heat. Do I even need to go into how Borg would have thrived in that heat, especially against his less fit American rivals?
Wilander loved playing in Australia when it was still at Kooyong and won that title early. He did well when it moved to Rebound Ace, winning on his first try, with big wins over defending champion Edberg and hometown hero Cash. New York was a tougher place for him throughout his career; it took him longer to adapt there, though he did eventually (just like Edberg).
And I think Rebound Ace would have suited Borg more than DecoTurf. The high bounce would have been to his liking (same as it was for Chris Evert and, of course, for Agassi). His main obstacle, McEnroe, would have done better, imo, on the fast courts at Flushing.
Same with the Australian grass. The bounce there was higher than at Wimbledon or Forest Hills, because the dry heat hardened the turf. The one year that Wimbledon played close to that was 1976, in the middle of a long English heat wave. Dan Maskell noted how the high bounce that year was to Borg's liking: and Borg won that Wimbledon without dropping a set, not having any of the problems he usually had in Wimbledon's first week when the grass is typically still thick and often slippery.
Sampras, as the grasscourt GOAT, would have done great on any grass surface. But I hope you're not assuming that because he won 7 Wimbledons we might as well imagine 6 to 8 AO titles for him. As he said himself, he never especially liked the AO, for various reasons; now imagine him playing at the inferior Kooyong facilities, for less prize money, in December. How motivated do you think he would have been there, compared to Wimbledon or the USO?
Rod Laver won 4 Wimbledons, but he didn't win 4 times at the other grasscourt majors. He took the AO three times; the USO just twice. Sampras' haul of AO titles, even if he got to play it on grass, could have been significantly lower than his 7 Wimbledon titles.

Press release from CNW Group
Exchange Income Corporation to acquire Westower Communications for $79 million and enters into a new $235 million long- term debt facility
Wednesday, March 09, 2011
Exchange Income Corporation to acquire Westower Communications for $79 million and enters into a new $235 million long- term debt facility19:07 EST Wednesday, March 09, 2011NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES- Acquisition will triple the size of Exchange's manufacturing segment - WINNIPEG, March 9 /CNW/ - Exchange Income Corporation (TSX:EIF) (the "Corporation" or "Exchange"), announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire the operations and assets of Westower Communications, a privately-owned company that designs, builds, maintains and services wireless phone and other communications towers throughout North America. The acquisition is valued at CDN $79 million.The Company also announced that it has entered into a new long-term debt facility with its syndicate of banks. The facility has been increased in size from $106 million to $235 million. The increased facility reflects the Company's strong performance and includes reduced borrowing costs and a more flexible covenant package."We believe the time is ripe for us to execute the next phase of our growth strategy," said Mr. Mike Pyle, President and CEO of Exchange. "In particular, our strong balance sheet, proven acquisition model, and ready access to capital effectively position us to take advantage of existing market conditions and enhance the growth of our company. We have been very cautious in our manufacturing segment during the economic turmoil over the last three years, focusing our attention on minimizing costs and improving efficiencies. Westower provides the opportunity to again grow this segment of our business."Mr. Pyle added, "Consistent with our acquisitions track record, we have identified a company that operates as a leader in a niche market, generates positive cash flow and is expected to produce results that are immediately accretive to each of our key financial metrics, including revenue, EBITDA, and earnings per share. With continued demand for its products and services expected in the coming years as a result of ongoing investments by telecom carriers in network and infrastructure upgrades, we believe that Westower is an ideal target company and will nicely complement our existing manufacturing segment subsidiaries."Adam Terwin, Exchange's CFO, commented, "The vendor will be taking approximately 15% of the purchase price in shares of our company, and we will fund the rest from our credit facilities. The recent exercise of warrants and conversion of convertible debentures has significantly de-levered our balance sheet, and the Westower acquisition will enable us to put that capital back to work. Even after this transaction closes, we will be well below our previously stated target of secured debt of two times EBITDA. We have also increased our bank facility at this time to ensure we have access to capital to fund future acquisitions."Pending final due diligence and satisfaction of typical conditions, including regulatory approval, the acquisition is expected to close early in the second quarter.Acquisition HighlightsThe purchase price is $79 million.Approximately 15% of the purchase price will be paid through the issuance of common shares; the balance will be financed using the Corporation's senior credit facility.The purchase price represents a multiple of approximately 4.8 times the average EBITDA generated over the past three years.In 2010, Westower generated approximately $200 million in revenue.Westower was founded in 1990 and has amongst the largest market share in its industry in both Canada and the U.S.Westower has 24 regional offices, three manufacturing facilities and a total of 750 employees throughout North America.Westower's current management team will be retained through long-term contracts.Westower's operations will report directly to Darwin Sparrow, Vice President of Exchange's Manufacturing Segment.About Exchange Income Corporation Exchange Income Corporation is a diversified acquisition-oriented company, focused on opportunities in the industrial products and transportation sectors which are ideally suited for public markets except for their size. The strategy of the Corporation is to invest in profitable, well-established companies with strong cash flows operating in niche markets in Canada and/or the United States.The Corporation is currently operating in two niche business segments: aviation and specialty manufacturing.

The festival brings together scientists, artists, institutions, and fiery creative souls with a programme that is both creative and has an edge.
There will be salons, concerts, dinners, literary nights, films, and exhibitions presenting scientists, authors, musicians, and artists side-by-side. The focus is on knowledge, yet it is always with the cultural experience as a sensual spice.
In keeping with tradition – opening festivities on 5 March
The festival kicks off with a grand opening celebration Thursday 5 March. Take part in a festival for the mind and senses when the scientists and artists expand your knowledge and understanding about man, the world and the universe.
The festival has teamed up with the SPOT festival so get out those dancing shoes when two exciting bands step on it with lyrics that make you think about all those small everyday things – the embarrassing, pleasant, fun, or perhaps terrible things.

She may be at the height of her career, but Perrie Edwards is already thinking ahead to what she'd like to do after Little Mix.
Perrie Edwards says she'd love to get married and have children. Copyright [WENN]And it seems that Perrie Edwards is a traditional girl at heart, wanting to get married and have kids. We hope Zayn Malik has the same idea.
[Related article: Perrie Edwards: I want to marry Zayn Malik]
[Related article: Zayn Malik left Twitter over rumours that he cheated]
The Little Mix singer revealed: "I can't wait to get married and have kids, but it's Little Mix at the minute. I want Little Mix to explode and be massive, then I think we'll all settle down and get married and have kids and stuff like that."
Perrie Edwards went on to say: "It's going to be lovely. I can't wait."
Little Mix are currently at number one with their single, Wings. Copyright [PA]And when we spoke to the singer exclusively, she told us that she'd happily marry Zayn Malik in the future.
Her comments come just a week after nasty rumours that Zayn had cheated on Perrie.
However, sources say that the Little Mix stunner totally trusts her One Direction boyfriend: "Perrie trusts Zayn implicitly. She took no notice of the story whatsoever. Right now, things are going from strength to strength.
"Perrie has learned not to pay any attention to online rumours. She completely trusts him. She's basically moved into his place and has a wardrobe of stuff."

Published on 29-05-13
The European Commission has adopted recommendations to EU Member States including six specific recommendations for the UK designed to move Europe beyond the crisis and strengthen the foundations for growth. These recommendations are based on detailed analyses of each country's situation and provide guidance to governments on how to boost their growth potential, increase competitiveness and create jobs in 2013-2014.
Taken together, they represent an ambitious set of reforms for the EU economy. As part of today's package, which marks the culmination of the third European Semester of policy coordination, the Commission has also adopted several decisions under the Excessive Deficit Procedure.
The Commission's 2013 recommendations for the United Kingdom in brief
The Commission has issued six country specific recommendations (CSRs) to the UK to help it improve its economic performance. These are in the areas of:
Sustainable public finances
The UK has very high levels of government debt and a large fiscal deficit. To get public finances back on a sustainable footing, the UK should continue to prioritise the reduction of its debt and deficit, whilst balancing this with targeted growth-enhancing expenditure.
The housing market
The level of household debt in the UK is well above the euro area average. A housing shortage and lack of residential construction is also contributing to keeping house prices high. The UK should take measures to increase the housing supply and strengthen the rental market, whilst avoiding a return to imprudent mortgage lending.
Youth unemployment
Youth unemployment is over 2.5 times greater than the overall unemployment rate in the UK. The UK should improve the quality of vocational training on offer and reduce the number of young people without sufficient skills to enter the labour market.
Support to low income households
The UK has the second highest percentage of people living in households with a very low work intensity in the EU. The UK should ensure its tax-benefit system is both fair and offers clear work incentives. To allow more women, who wish to, to take up full-time work, the UK should improve the affordability and quality of childcare provision.
Access to finance for businesses
The UK is one of the most difficult countries in the EU for businesses to obtain bank credit, according to SMEs. The UK should take measures to encourage banks to lend to businesses, whilst avoiding excessive risk taking.
Investment in infrastructure
The UK needs to invest in its energy and transport infrastructure if it is to continue to meet the needs of the rest of the economy over the coming decade. In terms of contribution from renewable energy sources the UK is ranked 25th out of the 27 Member States in the EU and should make significant improvements when upgrading its energy infrastructure. With regard to transport, there is a significant gap between the investment needed to improve transport infrastructure and finances committed. The UK should look to provide greater certainty in investment from both public and private sources.
Apart from the UK specific aspects, a number of key EU-wide messages have emerged from this round of country-specific recommendations (CSRs). The Commission's analysis shows that rebalancing is underway in the EU. Most Member States are making progress on fiscal consolidation and are implementing reforms to increase competitiveness. However, the pace and impact of these efforts varies. Some Member States need to accelerate reforms or to implement them with greater urgency.
A major challenge is to tackle rising unemployment, especially youth unemployment, by increasing the use of active labour market policies or by reforming education and training systems to make sure jobseekers are equipped with the right skills for the jobs we have. More can also be done to create the conditions for businesses to invest and create jobs, including by improving competition in product and service markets and promoting investment in research, innovation and resource efficiency. Moreover, fiscal consolidation should continue, albeit at a different pace, while remaining pockets of vulnerability in the banking sector need to be addressed.
The package:
The package includes:
• A Communication outlining the main findings of the Commission's country by country analysis, and how this can boost growth and job creation in the EU as a whole.
• 24 sets of recommendations, one set for every Member State - excluding Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus,- and a separate set for the euro area as a whole. The recommendations contain country-specific guidance on budgetary, economic and social policies, taking account of the individual situation of each Member State.
• Detailed analyses underpinning the recommendations, presented in 29 staff working documents (one for every EU Member State, one for the euro area and one for Croatia).
• In parallel with the European Semester recommendations, the Commission has also adopted a number of recommendations under the Excessive Deficit Procedure, reflecting the latest developments in Member States that already have or are expected to bring their government deficit below the EU's 3% of GDP threshold in future.

Several games have been postponed or canceled due to the latest round of weather. The forecast for Thursday may force more postponements or cancellations.
Monday, Surry Central was to play baseball at Elkin; East Wilkes was to play baseball at North Stokes; South Stokes was to play Elkin in girls soccer; and Starmount was to travel to North Surry for girls soccer. None of those games were played due to icy conditions.
On Monday, decisions to move the baseball scheduled at Forbush Tuesday has been moved to today. Forbush will host Starmount at 4 p.m.
Softball at Forbush changes as follows: the West Forsyth game, originally scheduled for Thursday, is moving to Wednesday at 5 p.m. The East Surry game, originally scheduled for Tuesday, will probably move to Friday, Forbush Athletic Director Burl Love said Monday. Both of those games are scheduled to be played at Forbush.
"This is typical baseball weather," East Wilkes Coach Todd Welborn said. "We should be used to it. It's cold in February and March.
"Last year was the coldest I can remember. It went on so long. It was windy. Every time we played it was cold and the wind was blowing."
Rocky Horton, the throwing coach for for track and field at Starmount, said the team was outside finally "last Thursday and Friday" for the first time since practice began in mid-February. He said they expected to be outside again yesterday. "We may be behind," he added.
It isn't weather-related but East Wilkes will host Walkertown for baseball Saturday. The games were to be played at Walkertown, but were moved to Ronda to accommodate East Wilkes, who has several players taking the SAT in Wilkesboro Saturday morning. The JV game will begin at 1 p.m., with the varsity to follow.
The forecast for Elkin calls for a high of 55 today and mostly cloudy. Thursday, the high of 43 is expected with a potential for wintry mix. Seasonal temperatures are forecast to return this weekend.

nothin to do with dodge but i found my second car
lexus sc400 an they run about 3500 bucks! haha
they do mention hemi in the first video hahaha
It's amazing what you can pull from import engines, I'll give em' that. But I am a Proud American Muscle Car and Truck owner through and through. I never have cared for the "po'ed bees in a Folgers can" exhaust. Now get some 300's or Challengers together and you're singing my song! We have a car club here that my husband and I started that is nothing but Challengers. When we get together it is awesome! To coin Car and Driver, "it's of orgasmic proportions". Pure, raw, hot American muscle wrapped in sleek, aggressive styling with full luxuries....hot damn!
Honestly, the first generation of the SC model was no slouch. Easy to mod, good bang for the buck, pretty nice inside. You can pull some good numbers from the engine with a minimal investment.
No match for a 6.1L HEMI or a 5.9L Cummins but a decent car nonetheless.
Thanks for the clips . Neat cars .
kinda like how it sounds in the 2nd vid
Nice videos :smileup:
That first video was serious haha. That is a pretty nice car and for the money it is worth it. That second clip has a pretty good sounding exhaust on it

This post brought to you by Manwich. All opinions are 100% mine.
This has been a crazy busy year for us, as our children are growing older and transitioning into middle school and competitive level sports. We were busy before with three kids in recreation level sports, and have had a little bit of culture shock with the increased amount of time required for sports on a competitive level. Between all the practice time and regular school activities keeping us on the go until practically bedtime, having an arsenal of Easy Weeknight Meals has saved us from cold cut sandwiches seven nights a week. One thing I do is I look at our schedule for the upcoming week, and plan out our meals for every day ahead of time. This allows me to visit the store just once per week to save time (and money!), and to do some minor prep work ahead of time. I chop my veggies when I get home from the store, put them in a freezer safe zip top bag, label them, and pop them in the freezer. I also brown my ground beef, cook my chicken and shred it, etc. and freeze it in meal size portions too. Each morning, I pull out the ingredients for that nights dinner and move them to the refrigerator to unthaw all day, and when we get home, I just need to heat it all up, mix it together, and viola! dinner is served! Manwich is a favorite in our home. The guys all love the sweet and tangy taste, I love that it's free of artificial flavors and preservatives. The guys are already messy and dirty when we get home from practice every night (I do make them wash their hands and faces right away), so it's not a big deal if they dive right into the sandwiches and get dirtier, they are showering immediately after dinner anyway! There are three different varieties of Manwich flavors – Manwich Original, Manwich Bold, and Manwich Thick & Chunky. Manwich Recipes & Ideas:
Make your sandwiches the traditional way, and eat on hamburger buns!
Boil some penne pasta or macaroni & cheese, mix with Manwich, and top with some shredded cheese!
Add to some chili in the slow cooker for a sweet and tangy burst of flavor!

Aquino likes it 'hot' this Christmas
President Benigno Aquino plans to have something especially "hot" this Christmas.
Before anyone gets the idea that the country's most eligible bachelor—who has had no steady date since his last reported squeeze, Manila-based Korean television host Grace Lee—is thinking of someone special, Mr. Aquino is quick to knock such ideas down.
What he actually has in mind is a popular local dish—arroz caldo (rice porridge with chicken broth).
The subject came up when Mr. Aquino was asked by reporters during a break in the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Leaders Summit in Vladivostok, Russia, whether he had someone special to keep him warm when the weather gets cold this December.
The President, who can be occasionally candid about his personal life, replied: "Arroz caldo."
Pressed to reveal more, Mr. Aquino said: "I'm really only expecting arroz caldo. Probably, ham and pan de sal. Joshua (his nephew) might cook for me. You can add queso de bola. But that's not warm, it's normally served cold."
Other women
Lee was the President's date in December 2011 and they continued to go out until around the first quarter of this year, when they reportedly drifted apart.
Other women have also been romantically linked with Mr. Aquino.
One of them was Valenzuela Councilor Shalani Soledad, who later became a TV host. Their two-year relationship reportedly began after they had a chance meeting in a restaurant in Quezon City, and they were seen as an item during the 2010 presidential election campaign and at his oath-taking as President in June that year.
It was reported that sometime in September 2010, they called it quits.
In January 2012, Soledad tied the knot with Pasig Representative Roman Romulo.
From regular to light to zero
The rumor mill later linked the President with four more women—stylist Liz Uy, stockbroker Len Lopez, teacher Bunny Calica and then Lee.
In November 2010, Mr. Aquino admitted to a TV5 reporter during the 18th Apec summit in Japan that he had been dating Uy. In December that year, he was rumored to be dating Lopez.
In May 2011, the President was spotted on a date with a woman eventually identified as Calica, a teacher who is into early education and is working with Korean students. They were seen at a Hotdog reunion concert at the ballroom of Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City.
Later that year, the President compared his love life—or lack of it—to a sugar-free cola. "Before it was 'regular.' Then it became 'light.' Now it's 'zero,'" he said.
Reporters, too
Then in February this year, he confirmed he was dating Lee. The two were spotted in April at the Sergio Mendes concert at Smart Araneta Coliseum.
A month later, in an interview, the President was quoted as saying that he and Lee were "friends."
Before becoming president, Aquino was romantically linked to television reporters Korina Sanchez in the 1990s and Bernadette Sembrano in 2002. Sanchez and Sembrano have since gotten married. With a report from Inquirer Research

Santa Ana-based homebuilder City Ventures is constructing new "Green Key" communities, reputed to be the world's first neighborhoods of solar-powered, all-electric homes that do not use gas. A total of more than 190 homes are being built in Brea, Signal Hill, Santa Barbara, Alhambra and Covina.
Prices begin in the high $200,000s.
"A Green Key residence puts homeowners farther on the path to net-zero-energy independence than any other new home," said Herb Gardner, president of City Ventures' Homebuilding Division. "Its built-in solar power provides 'off-the-grid' energy, while its highly efficient appliances and materials reduce energy consumption compared to most new homes. The electric bills are exceptionally low, and there are no gas bills. All of this makes for a green earth and green wallet, returning immediate savings to the owner."
New Green Key elements include high-performance integrated solar power, hybrid electric water heaters, low-flow faucets and showerheads, high-efficiency dishwashers and low-emission windows to insulate against cold and heat.
City Ventures began the initiative as part of its goal to design and develop environmentally responsible homes at competitive prices. In the future, it intends to build only net-zero-energy communities.
All Green Key homes will exceed state-mandated Title 24 environmental efficiency standards – established in 1978 in the wake of a legislative call to reduce California's energy consumption – by at least 30 percent.
In addition, the homes are certified at the Gold Level by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system, created by the U.S. Green Building Council to promote energy savings, water efficiency and improved indoor environmental quality, along with reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

The film's final trailer is a two-and-a-half minute clip that introduces the relationship between Peter Parker and his best friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) before exploding into a sequence of action shots. Like the earlier trailers, this one too gives us a a glimpse of the multiple villains to be featured (The Sinister Six) as well as all the trials Spidey will have to face in order to save the day one more. 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' debuts on May 2, 2014.

Our Beach Days in Florida
The other day we were supposed to put together a storybook of a day for our music class. So instead of printing photos and glueing them to paper ( who has time for that), I put together a quick (and very basic) slideshow of our beach trip with friends.
I picked out some of the better photos to post here and since I already had the slideshow ready, I am publishing it as well.

Why have the power button? Display the infamous apple logo and you sell them like there is no tomorrow! Perhaps sell them without the LED

After dinner, the Marines push away from the table for a short walk before dessert.
That's when Klucsar sits for the first time all day. Not to rest. But to write her own letters.
She writes them by hand. Each addressed by name.
And drops them in four goody bags by the door filled with Red Bull, Cheez-Its and corn nuts.
"I hug the Marines when they come in" she says. "And I always feel a warmer hug when they leave."
It's a bittersweet moment. But they must be back by 7:30 p.m. Up before dawn. Back to a life of push-ups and field rations.
"I ask for their e-mail addresses," Klucsar says. "But I never really hear from them because their lives go on, so it's a spectacular day, and then it ends."
But in a few days, Klucsar will get on the intercom at Venado Middle School, where she now works, to say thank-you.
She will be shaking as she says: "I want you to know that when you stand and put your hand over your heart and say, 'I pledge allegiance to the flag,' that you are thinking of all those men and women over there in our service. And you're saying, in other words, a small prayer for them."
About that same day, four Marines will empty their goody bags of corn nuts and Cheez-Its to discover a personal note on bottom as they prepare to head out – many to war.
"Thank-you for sharing your day with us," they'll read. "I was honored to have you at my home."

GM CEO says July sales appear weaker than year ago
ANN ARBOR, Mich. General Motors Co.'s top executive described July auto sales as weak compared with the same month last year, but said it's still early.
CEO Fritz Henderson, speaking to reporters Tuesday at an event to launch the redesigned Buick LaCrosse sedan, said it seems like industrywide U.S. sales will once again fall below an annual rate of 10 million vehicles this month.
The new GM, which just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Friday, has said its debt load and other expenses have been reduced so much that it can become profitable at a 10 million to 10.5 million annual sales rate. The struggling automaker has lost more than $80 billion in the past four years and has received $50 billion in loans from the U.S. government.
U.S. industry sales so far this year have been running below a 10 million annual sales rate as the economy has sputtered. GM's sales for the first half of the year are off 40 percent, while the overall U.S. market is down 35 percent.
Henderson said the company has struggled all year with weak sales while trying to significantly reduce its dealer inventory, but the inventory problem has been corrected. He said he's optimistic about a second-half recovery in auto sales because most of the government's economic stimulus measures have not yet kicked in.
"Certainly there's a huge amount to be yet injected into the economy and I think we're pretty optimistic about it," he said.
Also, the government's "cash for clunkers" law has not fully taken effect. The program gives owners of inefficient, older vehicles up to a $4,500 incentive to trade them in on more efficient models.
GM is hoping some will consider the LaCrosse, which the company is counting on to help bring younger buyers back to the Buick brand. The average age of the current LaCrosse buyer is around 70, and GM is hoping to lower that into the 50s with a product that is far more competitive with similar-size models from Japanese luxury brands Lexus and Acura.
The LaCrosse, on midsize car underpinnings but stretched into the large car category, is the first new GM vehicle to be introduced after the automaker's 40-day stay in bankruptcy protection. It is due in showrooms in about two weeks.
GM has high expectations for the sedan, which engineers say has the quietest wind noise level in company history, in part due to aerodynamics and windshield and front-seat side windows made of glass laminated with quieting plastic in the middle.
Mark Meyers, a GM engineer who is in charge of the LaCrosse's performance, said GM tests showed the car tied the Mercedes S Class sedan in wind noise levels, even though it costs far less. The Mercedes has a base price of $90,225 while the LaCrosse has a sticker price of $28,585. Both prices include shipping.
The old LaCrosse was not a big seller and was much more like Buick's current image of stodgy cars for old men. So far this year GM has sold only 9,942 LaCrosses, with sales off 53 percent. The company stopped building the old version late last year.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Cultures around the world have regarded self-fulfillment as the ultimate goal of human striving and as the fundamental test of the goodness of a human life. The ideal has also been criticized, however, as egotistical or as so value-neutral that it fails to distinguish between, for example, self-fulfilled sinners and self-fulfilled saints. Alan Gewirth presents here a systematic and highly original study of self-fulfillment that seeks to overcome these and other arguments and to justify the high place that the ideal has been accorded. He does so by developing an ethical theory that ultimately grounds the value of self-fulfillment in the idea of the dignity of human beings.
Gewirth begins by distinguishing two models of self- fulfillment--aspiration-fulfillment and capacity-fulfillment--and shows how each of these contributes to the intrinsic value of human life. He then distinguishes between three types of morality--universalist, particularist, and personalist--and shows how each contributes to the values embodied in self-fulfillment. Building on these ideas, he develops a Odialectical' conception of reason that shows how human rights are central to self-fulfillment. Gewirth also argues that self-fulfillment has a social as well as an individual dimension: that the nature of society and the obstacles that disadvantaged groups face affect strongly the character of the self-fulfillment that persons can achieve.
Bold in scope and rigorous in execution, Self-Fulfillment is a powerful new contribution to moral, social, and political philosophy.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Absolutely Beautiful!
The invitations were everything my fiancé and I wanted, and more. I am incredibly pleased with every aspect of the invitation, and with how prompt delivery was. These are probably the nicest invitations for a wedding I have ever seen!
Very Pleased
I was surprised with how easy the whole invitation process was. We were able to order our customized sample, make our changes, and order the final product with no hassle. Plus, at checkout I googled promo codes and got $75 bucks off. I had initially started working with another website but they wouldn't even let me order a sample. So glad we found Magnet Street! We got several compliments on the invitations and were completely satisfied.
Exactly as pictured
My invitations came out exactly as they were pictured, I was very happy with the flexibility to add additional elements, the quality, the design, everything!
Gorgeous Invitations
My fiance and I had Magnetstreet recommended to us by his cousin who was married last year. We ordered our Save The Dates and were so happy with the service that we ordered our invitations as well! My only complaint was that the numbers of our items were slightly off-- when all was said and mailed, we were left with about 7 extra invitations, ZERO envelopes, and about 20 extra reply cards-- I think there might have been a mixup in the inventory when they compiled our order. I would have complained to the company but anyone who has been a bride-to-be with a full time job knows that there is little time for customer service battles, especially when you're at your deadline for sending those invites.. That, combined with the groom's mother having a couple extra ivory colored envelopes that fit our invites lying around, we were able to send our last few invites despite the envelope shortage. Despite that little envelope snafu, I still highly back the company. The online design tools are spectacular such that I felt confident ordering my invites/reply cards, knowing exactly what they would look like before they even came. Both our Save The Date Magnets and our Invitations got rave reviews, and we will surely be returning to order our Thank You cards after our special day.
beautiful result!
We tried different ways to personalize as an older couple's wedding. Great input and help from staff. Wide flexibility in print options made the difference.

Are Tennis Players More Delusional About Their Abilities Than Other People?
View Single Post
Join Date: May 2008

I think most of us need to be somewhat delusional about our games or we would quit playing all together! There are definitely times when I think that I should quit cause I was soooo bad, but then I have a good match and I think, maybe I still can improve!!! That is probably very delusional!
Anyway, the player I played last weekend week singles in a tournament is a perfect example. She self rated at 3.5; played up to 4.0 and was at best a 3.0 player. I beat her 0 and 0 and felt kind of sad doing it.
She kept saying that she was sorry that she was playing so poorly when she just could not hit a groundstroke that would stay in the court and then when we were done, she stated that she was really used to playing against players who hit a lot harder than I do so that she was at a disadvantage. In warmup, I fed her balls and every ground stroke went out by about 2-5 feet.

Fil-Americans sweep top figure skating honors
MANILA, Philippines—It's A decision Filipino-American Melissa Bulanhagui certainly doesn't regret.
A former Team USA skater, Bulanhagui showcased her talent for the first time in the Philippines to capture the senior ladies crown in the National Figure Skating Championship Sunday at the SM Mall of Asia ice skating rink.
"My parents have been begging me to do it," said Bulanhagui, a 21-year-old Delaware native whose Filipino parents, Alfredo and Lourdes, trace their roots in Bauan, Batangas.
"I'm proud of what I've done for Team USA and I'm now ready to do my work for the Philippines."
Bulanhagui earned a total of 120.20 points with routines set to "Egyptian Disco" and "Rachmaninoff" and dethrone last year's champion and fellow Filipino-American Zhaira Costiniano.
"I finished off with a good double axel," said Bulanhagui, who has topped several international competitions, including the 2008-2009 Junior Grand Prix.
"All my spins and footwork were there. I think I did all the other elements well."
Costiniano, who set a record last year as the youngest women's champion at 15, settled for second this time with 110.39 points. Mericien Venzon rounded out the podium finishers with a score of 88.13.
Christopher Caluza also boosted the strong showing of several foreign skaters with Filipino roots by copping the senior men's title with 173.66 points.
"I always wanted to represent the Filipino community because I was inspired by Manny Pacquiao," said the 21-year-old Caluza of San Diego, California.
Allison Perticheto, a 14-year-old Filipino-Italian charmer based in Switzerland, clinched the junior ladies crown with 109.97 points in her Philippine debut.
"I think my performance was really good," said Perticheto. "I'm happy that I'll be representing the Philippines in other competitions."
The brother-sister tandem of Carlotta and David Powers also topped the junior pairs. The other winners were Estefani Guerra (ladies advanced novice A), Sabine Katigbak (ladies basic novice A), Chloe Ramirez (ladies basic novice B), Jules Vince Alpe (men's advanced novice A), Audrey Alcaraz (juvenile) and Gabrielle Panlilio (pre-juvenile).

Washington coalition aims to defeat I-1033
From Ballotpedia
September 25, 2009
OLYMPIA, Washington: In Washington a coalition of business, labor, education and senior citizens formed this week in an effort to defeated Washington Initiative 1033, which is scheduled to appear on the November 2009 ballot.[1] I-1033, referred to by supporters as the "Lower Property Taxes" initiative and by opponents as the "Jobs Killing" initiative, proposes to limit growth of certain state, county and city revenue to annual inflation and population growth.[2][3] The No on 1033 campaign has not yet disclosed their financial goals for the campaign but did note that they plan to purchase TV time in the coming weeks. AARP state director, Doug Shadel, said,"1033 is bad for jobs and it would greatly diminish access to health care."[2]

Book Talk: Dog Star Delights
My life is simple now. I sleep outside under the stars with my dog, Jasper. I hunt for fresh meat once a week and grow tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, and peas in my little garden. When not hunting, I take the plane up to secure the perimeter.
My neighbor, Bangley, moved in a couple of years after I took residence at the airport. He came with his little camper full of firepower. I am not sure where he lays his head at night, but I know it is close. He is there before I count to 200 when we have intruders.

Watch The Apprentice
The Apprentice is a reality television show broadcast on NBC and hosted by Donald Trump. On the show, Trump, a world-renowned real estate magnate, businessman, and multi-billionaire oversees a competition between up to 18 business people that strive to be the next winner of a $250,000 business starting contract for one of Trump's companies. Like most reality shows, The Apprentice is based on weekly eliminations to narrow down the pool of competitors to the most promising finalists. At the end of each episode, the eliminated contestant will be sent home with Trump's final words, "You're Fired."
Each season of The Apprentice features a group of competitive contestants from different business backgrounds and areas of expertise, including marketing, real estate, accounting, and consulting. Upon arrival, the contestants will share space and build relationships with other competitors at a communal penthouse provided by Trump. In the first week, the candidates are divided into separate teams that face challenges together and compete against each other. Each team selects a project manager for the week's task to be completed satisfactorily. The team that wins the weekly challenge is rewarded and the losing team will face elimination in a two stage board room meeting.
During eliminations, it is up to the project manager to choose those team members that he believes to be the most detrimental to the team's integrity and cohesiveness. This is stage one of the elimination process. In step two, the project manager along with the selected candidates will partake in a second board meeting, in which Trump then decides which of the candidates will leave the show. Sometimes unforeseen twists in the show will bring about the elimination of multiple players who are not expected to deliver satisfactory performance in the future or cause candidates to resign prematurely.
After all except the final three or four candidates have been eliminated, company executives come in to conduct interviews with the remaining contestants and assess their competencies. Trump will then proceed to eliminate other candidates to bring the remaining total down to the final two, who will perform a series of tasks with the help of support teams comprised of former candidates to prove that they are the best match for Trump's company in question. The winner is then selected in a final boardroom meeting, where testimonials from other candidates are weighed in and both remaining candidates are able to make a final case to the company's CEO. The winner automatically becomes the season's Apprentice.

The Apprentice News
Sometimes, in either politics or entertainment, the headlines just make you throw up your hands and say "Sure, why not?" As America today awaited controversial GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain's promised definitive announcement concerning whether or not he'll keep seeking the White House in 2012, billionaire real estate mogul and originator of NBC's "The Apprentice" Donald Trump made his own headlines: according to Entertainment Weekly and the New York Times, he'll be moderating a Dec.
Mark Burnett, the reality show genius behind Survivor and The Apprentice is set to launch another show in the future. The Voice of America, he hopes, will compete and beat American Idol in the future. He is hoping to capitalize on Idol's falling viewership numbers and major shakeup at the judges table. He is banking on the fact that the judges won't be as well liked as past ones and viewers will be looking for something hotter and newer to watch. The new show is going to be broadcast on the NBC network.

SEATTLE People in Western Washington have been waiting for all the snow this La Nina winter was supposed to bring.
Wait no longer. Indications are snow will reach sea level this weekend.
KING 5 Meteorologist Jim Guy says a cold front will move down the BC coast Saturday, spreading increasing rain into western Washington during the day, with high temperatures warming a little into the mid 40s. Latest forecast
Much cooler will follow the front Saturday night, lowering snow levels to near sea level by Sunday morning for snow showers or mixed rain and snow showers. The air will continue to cool on Sunday, changing the showers to mostly snow showers during the day. High temperatures will only be in the upper 30s to near 40.
Early next week cold air will continue to move into Western Washington.
It will flow in off the Pacific rather than from the interior of BC so we won't sink into a deep freeze but it will continue to keep snow levels at or near sea level, said Guy.

US levies new sanctions on key Syrian bank
WASHINGTON - The Obama administration added new sanctions on a Syrian bank Wednesday as a top White House official said the U.S. wants to economically throttle the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad and cut off salaries of pro-government thugs blamed for the grisly massacre in Houla.
The Treasury Department said the Syria International Islamic Bank has been acting as a front for other Syrian financial institutions seeking to circumvent sanctions. The new penalties will prohibit the SIIB from engaging in financial transactions in the U.S. and will freeze any assets under U.S. jurisdiction.
With the Obama administration unwilling at this point to pursue military options in Syria, the U.S. has relied heavily on economic sanctions as a means for pressing Assad to leave power. The United States will host other nations in Washington next week to look at ways to tighten international sanctions further.
"We are strangling the regime economically," White House deputy national security adviser Denis McDonough said.
David Cohen, Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said the toll taken by sanctions on Syria is "mounting day by day."
"They're drawing down their reserves without a ready means of replenishing those reserves," Cohen said.
The White House also blamed Iran for stirring up violence inside Syria and said Assad's fall would be a huge blow to Tehran. The United States is increasingly linking Syria and Iran rhetorically and tactically, applying economic pressure with and without help from the United Nations or other countries.
Iran is Syria's only staunch defender in the Middle East, and the Syria crisis has united Sunni Arab neighbors who see in Syria a way to weaken Iran, their main Shiite enemy.
"The Assad clique will end up, ultimately, in the dustbin of history and the people of Syria will have the chance to determine their own destiny," McDonough said. "When that happens, it will also be the most profound strategic setback that Syria's closest ally, Iran, has faced in decades. That is surely why Iran has provided material support and advice to the regime in brutalizing the Syrian people."
Speaking to a Brookings Institution forum in Doha, Qatar, McDonough pointed to what he called a recent "stunning" admission from Iran that its armed forces were joining the fight in support of the regime in Syria, and said Iran had tried to backtrack and "cover up" the announcement.
He blamed the Assad regime squarely for the massacre of 108 civilians last weekend in the town of Houla, and said claims that the killings were carried out by unaffiliated roughnecks are "a lie." Assad's associates pay the pro-government gunmen known as the shabiha, he claimed.
"Our objective is straightforward: Starve the regime of the resources it requires to pay the army, and deprive Assad's cronies of the money they need to buy the shabiha's brutal conspiracy."
The violence in Syria is spiraling out of control as an uprising against Assad that began in March 2011 has morphed into an armed insurgency.
In the wake of the Houla massacre, the United States and several other countries expelled Syrian diplomats to protest the killings.

Cavalier (fortification)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Cavalier has been adopted from the French as a term in fortification for a work of great height constructed in the interior of a fort, bastion or other defence, so as to fire over the main parapet without interfering with the fire of the latter. A greater volume of fire can thus be obtained, but the great height of the cavalier makes it an easy target for a besieger's guns.[1]
