Philadelphia Budget Surplus Drop Concerns Morningstar
March 19 (Bloomberg) -- Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter's proposal to reduce the city's annual budget surplus by more than 50 percent in a year "is a concern," Morningstar Inc. said in a report.
Philadelphia's surplus, known as the general-fund balance, would drop from $107 million this year to $50 million in fiscal 2015, and to $24 million the following year, analyst Rachel Barkley said in the report dated March 17.
Nutter said in a statement that he would set aside more than $44 million for potential labor costs, which Barkley called "a positive note." Nutter's $4.5 billion spending plan for the year beginning in July awaits approval by the city council.
The budget also calls for $146 million in capital spending and $131.5 million of new general-obligation bonds, the highest sums for each since 2001, Barkley said. The nation's fifth-most populous city had $8.6 billion in debt as of December, a bond document shows.
A Philadelphia general-obligation bond due July 2023 traded March 17 at an average yield of 3.1 percent, or 1.15 percentage point above top-rated municipal debt. The spread averaged 1.36 percentage point since January, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Weaker wage taxes are projected to reduce balances for the next two years, Mark McDonald, a spokesman for Nutter, said by e-mail. The revenue, originally expected to rise about 3.6 percent in the year through June, may now grow by about 1.8 percent, he said.

I enjoy just about everything and will try new things. I enjoy outdoors, hunting and fishing, riding horses, traveling and being home.
My friends think I am easy going and work to much. It is said that my eyes smile and maybe they do. I have found that I like to write and have a published book titled Truth Is, (Life,Love and Humor). It is a book of poetry that has been written over the years, some true, some fiction. I am in the process of wrtiing a fictional story that i hope will come out by the end of the year. I am grateful for my son and step daughter and spending time with family and friends. I enjoy traveling when the opportunity arises and should be in that position in a little over a year. My hopes are to go to Gettisburg, an Alaskian Cruise and travel to the western states. I would also enjoy going on a round up or cattle drive in Montana or Colarodo. My likes are Alabama Football, riding horses, fishing, hunting and writing. Other things I enjoy are camping out and refereeing football. Making me smile is not hard just have a heart that is warm and caring and be a friend that is wanting to find someone to spend time and if things work out, a soul mate till the end. By the way, I can cook some too. If you would like to know more then I would enjoy meeting and talking . A poem in my book is called Typical Me, and that describes me pretty much. I am just me and no one else. I don't like drama. I do enjoy good company and I am looking for someone that likes to share things. If there is a connection then we will know and let our direction in life take over. Look forward to hearing from you.

I enjoy fishing and hunting. Not much on dancing but will give it a shot. Like watching college football and going to Alabama games. Camping out and riding horses,

Joined: 1/5/2008I switched from 4″ vanes to Blazers when I used a Whisker Bisquit as they were more durable and stabilize my Montecs better.February 11, 2008 at 3:38 pm #518068 Back to Top REPORT
Joined: 3/5/2006BlazersFebruary 11, 2008 at 4:41 pm #518069 Back to Top REPORTI'm thinking of switching away from Blazers. I think I was having a problem where they were hitting on my riser sometimes. Every once in a while I would see my arrow go down range kind of funny. So I switch to 4″ feather and I've never had that problem. I know the Blazers are a little wider.
Anyone else have that problem?February 11, 2008 at 4:45 pm #518070 Back to Top REPORT

I use Blazers because they are lighter than most standard veins giving you a lighter arrow and a higher FOC. They steer like a feather but are quieter and more durable. They have also improved my accuracy with fixed heads, even in wind, if fletched at a one degree offset out to and including 70 yards. They do everything I want out of a vein and then some

your not 'right' unless you got a whole bucket full of arrows fletched with everything!
for hunting………..ive shot regular, quikspins, blazers. currently i shoot blazers.
for 3D ive shot reg vanes, quikspins, and feathers. back to regular AAE 4″ vanes for right now.

Joined: 11/24/2005Interesting almost 75% are using Blazer'sFebruary 11, 2008 at 5:58 pm #518074 Back to Top REPORTI'm using the Flex Fletch FFP360 with a right helical fletch. I'm in the process of testing other vanes as well and found the FFP360 have the second least drop in speed (7 fps) and the fastest recovery time with the smallest group size at 20yds. Group size is determined by taking 25 shots and recording only the 12 best shots as a filter to remove shooter error. Two groups of 25 arrows were shot then the results averaged. This is a standard method used to measure weapons accuracy in the military, called a Circular Error Probable (CEP).
The Blazers at 2º offset, as recommended by Bohning, had the second most speed loss as determined by averaging 5 shots through a chronograph at 6′ and then at 20 yds. From the speed drop, a drag profile was heuristically fitted and speed was predicted at 40 yds and wind drift in a 10mph crosswind was predicted at 60 yds. When weather allows, I will shot through the chrongraph at 40 yds and 60 yds to measure speed drop and group size and conduct the wind drift tests at 60yds. Several vane manufacturers make claims concerning aerodynamic effect of their vanes to either extend range and/or reduce wind drift, so simple drag profile may not fully describe the ballistic path and must be verified by actual test.[/u:1lf4vzcs]
The Blazers had terrible variation in weight and height and base not square to the vane. http://www.flexfletch.com/flashvs.htm I checked some Blazers and the results were in line with the link. I weighed the Blazers individually and found that the White varied from 5.85 – 6.1 gr, the Black from 5.78 – 6.1 gr, and the Orange to be very uniform at 6.0 gr. When checking the vane-base angle, the Orange Blazers were the most uniform. Since I only had a small sample to test, the variations might be dependent on Lot# and not color, but it is evident Bohning QC is not tight (see image below showing base-vane angle variation, on the right are 3 FFP360).
I selected three identical Blazer vanes that weighed 6 gr/each with good vane-base angle for testing, so that the test results wouldn't be screwed by vane inconsistency. I have requested some Flex Fletch Flash vanes to include in the testing, but they have not yet arrived.
I thank Jeff K in IL and KILL EM ALL[/b:1lf4vzcs] who sent me some Blazers for the tests. Also I thank Paul Morris of Starrflight for sending me the FOBs and Bowhntr22 for sending me the Bi-Delta 3D/Hunter vanes.
All testing is done with a Drenalin 67.3# 28.5″ and Victory VForce V1 400 shafts cut to 29″ AMO and 125 gr FP and RM Ti 125 fixed-blade Broadhead[/size:1lf4vzcs].

… if fletched at a one degree offset out to and including 70 yards. They do everything I want out of a vein and then some
I agree with the 1º offset
I contacted Bohning and confirmed they recommend 2º, so that is the offset being used for testing. If the test results prove bad, which is what I expect based on past experience, I'll have to redo the test with a 1º offset.
We recommend a 2° offset for the Blazer Vanes.

QuickSpin ST speed Hunters. They work great for me.
I only tested with Blazers and QS Speed Hunter STs and my testing wasn't quite in the same league as Brian's (sort of like the difference between a stick and a string and a Dren ) but the QSs flew the best for me with my setup.

Two staples of her program over the last half decade, Chanda Bell and Brittany Cervantes, had completed their playing careers and degrees and were moving on. Bell earned a job at Marshall as a pitching coach, while Cervantes accepted an assistant coaching job at Loyola (Chicago), giving the Rachel Lawson coaching tree its first two Kentucky limbs.
Months later, Lawson faces a pupil for the first time in what should be a unique Tuesday afternoon in Huntington, W.Va., as No. 8 Kentucky plays Marshall in a non-conference showdown at Dot Hicks Field at 4 p.m. ET.
"It is going to be great to see her and I love her dearly, but I know that she will have her game face on and I will have to bring my A game as well," Lawson said. "Chanda was as emotional as I can remember someone being on Senior Day a few years back and she turned a page that day and threw a no-hitter to get us to postseason play. I am pretty sure she has ice water running through those veins so as much as I want to view her as my own, I will have to see her as an opponent."
Bell, who spent last season at Kentucky as an undergraduate assistant coach, is the most decorated pitcher in school history, ranking first all-time in opponent batting average, strikeouts, wins and saves.
But the uniqueness of Tuesday's battle doesn't center solely around Bell having played for Lawson, but more so that she had such a positive impact as a coach last season on the winningest team in program history.
Lawson, who gives Bell a lot of credit for the development of All-Southeastern Conference pitcher Kelsey Nunley, said Bell spent more time with the UK pitching staff last year during practice than she did. And every pitch that Lawson called last year from her bucket at the top step of UK's dugout, Bell was by her said, soaking it all in, and helping execute game plans.
"I think it is going to be a good game," said Cervantes, who stated she was jealous of Bell for getting a chance to play against Kentucky this season. "I think Chanda is going to be pretty competitive sitting in that dugout. The thing is, Chanda knows a lot of the UK hitters really well and I am really anxious to see how that goes."
Lawson and Co. started planning ahead this summer, developing a new system for signs.
"We changed our signs this year knowing that this was going to happen," Lawson said. "We will be using a set that Chanda won't know. As much as I know she bleeds blue, she will want to win and is very competitive."
Bell said the realization of how unique this experience Tuesday would be hit her when she returned to Lexington to help coach at a youth camp this winter. Bell, who wore her green Thundering Herd gear to the camp, said the UK players were giving her a hard time about the game and asking what pitches she would call against them.
"Nikki (Sagermann) asked me what pitch I thought she couldn't hit," Bell said laughing. "It was all in fun and the game is going to be fun, whatever the outcome is."
Tuesday will not be the only time this season that Bell has looked in the opposing dugout and seen a familiar face. On the second day of the season, Bell and Cervantes, who spent the better part of five years on the same team building the UK program into a national contender, squared off for the first time against each other as Marshall defeated Loyola (Chicago) 8-1 in a tournament in Auburn, Ala.
"I was like, 'Hey, you are in the wrong dugout, get over here,'" Bell said about seeing Cervantes in the other dugout. "It was definitely surreal knowing that we are not playing together anymore but still on the field because we love it so much."
"It was kind of weird because she is my friend and my pitcher and over there calling pitches again my hitters," Cervantes said. "I was trying to put myself in the mind of Chanda and how she would call pitches and then I knew she learned from Coach Lawson so I was trying to think how Coach Lawson would pitch my hitters. It was fun. It was like a little piece of home when I saw her."
Lawson said she watched the game from a distance, keeping her eye on the box score and reading the recaps online to see what happened. The veteran head coach said it was an impossible position for her to be in.
"It is kind of like a parent when you have two siblings play against other," Lawson said. "I don't know whose side I would take. On one hand, Chanda was my pitcher and we spent a lot of time in the bullpen together, but on the other hand Brittany spent as much time with me in the bullpen. I figured it was best to stay out of that one."
Although Lawson didn't partake in that game close up, she said she would drop everything to help one of them if they needed it.
When Lawson was coming up through the coaching ranks her mentors let her develop her own coaching style and personality. That's what she wants to do with Bell and Cervantes.
"I would be there for them anytime they needed me at the drop of a hat, but I think it is important that an individual establishes who they are as a coach and have their own personality," Lawson said. "After you figure out who you are, then you will be a better coach and the technical stuff is easier to deal with."
Cervantes, who earned three SEC weekly honors during her time at Kentucky, ranks first all-time in runs batted in and home runs at UK, while she is also fifth in games played, tied for fourth in doubles, second in walks, third in runs scored and second in slugging percentage. The Chatsworth, Calif., native said her biggest adjustment has been learning there are only so many things you can do to impact a game, something she now realizes Lawson tried to impart to her when she was playing.
"Anytime I am out there, I don't know how Coach Lawson did it," Cervantes said. "You want them to play so hard and I know Coach Lawson talks about that all the time. There are things that I say and I'm like, 'Holy cow, I sound just like her.' It is scary when you can relate to Coach Lawson because she is a unique person."
For the ever humble Lawson, having the two branches of the coaching tree fulfil their dreams this year doesn't reflect on her. She gives the credit to the sport they fell in love with and the institution that gave them a chance to play it.
"When people leave and want to stay in the sport of softball and want to coach that says that they love the game and loved their experience as a division I athlete and continuing it means, I think, that we are doing things right at this program," Lawson said. "I am very proud."

This is Rob O'Neill, the Navy SEAL who killed Osama bin Laden, according to The Daily Mail.
Up until now, the identity of the man who actually fired the bullet in 2011 during the top secret raid in Pakistan has been kept under wraps.
He was supposed to make the big reveal in an exclusive Fox News interview later this month, but O'Neill's father has come forward in advance with the information. And he isn't very worried about becoming a target for terrorism now that his son has been outed.
'People are asking if we are worried that ISIS will come and get us because Rob is going public. I say I'll paint a big target on my front door and say come and get us.'
Maybe he should be worried about what Fox News is going to do them now that they lost their big scoop?

Falcons to crank up air show starring Julio Jones, Roddy White and a stronger Matt Ryan
By Michael Silver | Yahoo! Sports – 23 hours ago
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – As the latest, costliest addition to a star-studded attack, Julio Jones still struggles to reconcile the fade route the Atlanta Falcons ran in their one-and-done 2011 postseason with the team's wealth of offensive talent.
After all, with Matt Ryan throwing to Jones, Pro Bowl wideout Roddy White and future Hall of Fame tonight Tony Gonzalez – when he's not handing off to workhorse halfback Michael Turner – the promising receiver believes defensive coordinators are faced with an untenable task.
"You know what I would do? Just pack up my stuff and go home," Jones said, laughing, after a training camp practice at the team's training facility last Saturday. "I mean, who are you gonna double? Tony? Roddy? Me? That's six people. What are you gonna do?" The Falcons are expecting big things from second-year receiver Julio Jones. (US Presswire)
That was the vision that inspired Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff to swing one of the biggest draft day blockbusters of recent years, dealing five picks, including a pair of first-rounders, to the Cleveland Browns to trade up to land Jones with the sixth overall selection of the 2011 draft. Yet the injection of Jones, a fast and ferocious receiver with serious playmaking potential, into an already productive offense never went as smoothly as planned during his rookie season, one which ended in the most inglorious fashion imaginable.
After taking a 2-0 lead early in the second quarter of their first-round playoff clash with the New York Giants last January, the Falcons allowed 24 consecutive points while scoring none of their own. The offensive shutout represented the biggest embarrassment of the trio of lopsided playoff defeats they've experienced since the arrival of Dimitroff, coach Mike Smith and Ryan reshaped the franchise following the 2007 season.
Still looking for its first playoff victory during that span, Atlanta has been bounced by conference champions on each occasion, with the past two postseason foes (the 2010 Green Bay Packers and last season's Giants) going on to win the Super Bowl. The Falcons believe they're capable of ascending to that level, but if Matty Ice and his receivers stay frigid under the warm glare of the playoff spotlight, it won't be opposing coaches who'll be told to start packing.

The Falcons do, in fact, have a pair of new coordinators for 2012, with Dirk Koetter taking over the offense and Mike Nolan now presiding over the defense. It's unclear whether the departure of their predecessors was considered a fortuitous development by Smith, who might have decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey (now the Jaguars' head coach) or defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder (who'll fill the same role at Auburn) had they not bolted within days of the defeat to the Giants.
In what amounted to a de facto trade with the Jags, Koetter, Jacksonville's offensive coordinator for the past five seasons, will now take a shot at doing what Mularkey couldn't in 2011: Coalesce a host of skilled players into a consistently cohesive unit.
"It was kind of difficult because we didn't have any rhythm to the offense," recalls White, who caught 100 passes for 1,296 yards and eight touchdowns in 2011 to earn his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection. "We were trying to do this, experiment with this, see what Julio could do and what he can't do. It took a while."
Matt Ryan pumped iron this offseason in order to get his arm stronger for the 2012 campaign. (Getty Images)The Falcons had the league's 10th-ranked offense in 2011 and averaged more than 25 points per game, but they still seemed oddly out of sync at key times. One persistent criticism of Mularkey was that Atlanta tended to look better using a no-huddle attack, with Ryan calling the plays, than when it ran a conventional attack.
Ryan's comfort level in the no-huddle has certainly been hammered home to Koetter – "I think everybody's kind of told him, including myself," Ryan says, laughing – which means it will still be employed liberally.
And when Koetter calls the plays, look for the Falcons to take more chances than they did in 2011.
"He's more aggressive," White says, comparing Koetter to Mularkey. "He's not gun-shy whatsoever. He will have no bullets left in the chamber at the end of the game, I can tell you that. He has so much confidence in all of us as playmakers – he just dials 'em up and he expects us to make plays."
Ryan, for one, has prepared himself to do some serious slinging in 2012. He hit the weight room hard over the offseason in a concerted effort to get stronger, with increased durability and arm strength as his goals.
"He's a lot stronger than he was last year," White says of Ryan. "He's got a lot more zip on the ball. He just wants to be able to push the ball downfield, get it deep."
Ryan, who played in the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season, says he is driven by past playoff disappointments but is careful not to look ahead to his next postseason test.
"If you're concentrating on what you're gonna do in the playoffs all the time," Ryan says, "you'll probably be at home watching the playoffs. You have to do the little things to get there and give yourself that chance. And when we do get back, if we do, we have to take better advantage of it."
Says White: I just feel like when we get into playoff games nobody plays their best football. It's kind of crazy. We're all kind of tentative, not playing fast and up to our expectations, not doing stuff that we do in the regular season. I just think we're too anxious, that everybody's got to relax and just go play football. We're too talented on offense to come up with zero."
Smith began breaking down his preparation for the three playoff defeats during his tenure a day after the Giants game, looking for ways to tweak the schedule and overall approach in the future. One thing the coach says he won't do is start getting conservative on fourth down. The Falcons were stopped on a pair of fourth-and-short plays against the Giants, a continuation that had plagued them throughout the season.
"We're gonna be aggressive," Smith says. "I feel very confident in the statistics that say what you should and shouldn't do, and I have a whole lot of confidence in our players. And heck, I heard some boos the other night on the first drive of the [second] preseason game [a 24-19 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals in the Georgia Dome] when I didn't go for it on fourth-and-1 [from the Cinci 46]."
[Related: Matt Ryan remains a top fantasy QB option ]
With Turner, a two-time Pro Bowl selection who turned 30 in February, perhaps starting to feel the effect of having carried 300-plus times in three of his four seasons with the Falcons, it's likely Koetter will compensate by shifting some of the responsibility to Ryan. And why not? With an elusive slot receiver in Harry Douglas – "He gets lost in the fray," Ryan says, "but he's a super, super smart guy that's kind of a crutch for me in the no-huddle" – and perhaps the NFL's most potent pair of outside receivers, it's logical to expect an air show in 2012 and beyond.The workload for Michael Turner (33) might drop with Atlanta's new focus on airing it out to Roddy White and others. …
Jones, who missed four games in the middle of the season with a hamstring injury, caught 54 passes for 959 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie – and the Falcons are counting on much more in 2012.
"I think the guy can catch 80 sleepwalking," says Falcons receivers coach Terry Robiskie, whose tough love helped turn White from a perceived bust into a star upon Ryan's arrival. "We'll have some new wrinkles, a couple of things designed to get it in Julio's hands faster, so he can get it and go."
Jones has shed his dreadlocks and his disquieting practice of laying out for balls in practice, a sign of the former Alabama star's hyper-competitive nature. He loves being challenged on the line of scrimmage by physical cornerbacks, saying, "Yeah, it's like fighting, man. I mean, you ain't gonna let nobody whup you. I don't care who is across from me. It's just my mentality. You can write that down."
Robiskie believes that Jones, who stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 220, needs to play faster than he did as a rookie. "I've told him, 'Quit break-dancing,'" Robiskie says. "He just needs to get off the ball and go, and not do much thinking. Julio is a massive man. When he runs, it's like being at a morning workout with horses in Kentucky – you can literally close your eyes and hear him running with power. He needs to stop thinking and start running as soon as the ball is snapped."
With secondaries forced to choose between sliding toward one side or the other, somebody should be running free much of the time. For that reason, Ryan envisions Jones joining White among the NFL's receiving leaders in 2012 – and into what should be a scary future together.
"I think they both have a chance to have big seasons," Ryan says. "That's the goal, to become an offense that makes people scratch their head, because they don't know how to defend us. I think we're capable of being that kind of team."
If they can do that in the postseason, at long last, maybe the Falcons won't be the team forced to pack up and go home.

Saw this yesterday, how much more effusive can you get. JGlazer echoed the same at practice. Maybe TD isn't looking quite as dumb if this all comes together now.

Re: Gee Roddy, what do you really think about Mularkey?
I hope this isn't the classic case of preseason hype. You know, where people talk up how this and that are going to change, and then nothing changes. It all sounds good. But history of being a Falcon fan, makes you reluctant to believe what you hear, until you see it.

I agree, atleast for now. Granted, I'm in Jersey, so I had to find a bar, and they only had the *NFL Look-In. Thus, I could only watch about a 3rd of the offensive snaps. What I saw was our O-line getting blown the F up. Julio can gallop all he wants, but it does no good if he looks over his shoulder and sees Matty on the ground.
*I was at a place called Rusty Kale's. I was talking to the owner (Rusty...obviously), and he did everything he could to get me a tv in the corner (the Giants were playing), just to watch the Birds. Awesome guy!!! He even called Direct tv when the station wouldn't load. Here's the thing: This bar pays a good deal for the Sunday Ticket, but either their package or Sunday Ticket in general does not include all of the pre-season games. Yet, if you want to buy actual season tickets, you are usually FORCED to buy tickets for all of the pre-season games. How is this fair? F U NFL!!! F U RIGHT IN THE EAR!!!...but I'll still watch, and drop $$$ on the inevitable pay-per-view playoffs one day.
Disregard anything I say that may offend you, as I am most likely drunk.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Taylor Snow
Moody M.S., social studies
Asked to imagine a place where they can escape from the stresses of daily life, few people would suggest a middle school classroom.
Count Taylor Snow as one of those few.
His toughest challenges as a middle school teacher, says Snow, are only rarely student-related. "In fact, the time I spend with my students is a real sanctuary," he says, "from the sometimes overwhelming central office paperwork and data collection required of us." And when it comes to his students – many of whom face difficult issues in their home lives -- Snow hopes that the classroom is a refuge as well.
"The reason I teach," says Snow, "is that I believe that the classroom should be a sanctuary from [the challenges of daily life].
"The students are the ones that make my classes what they are with their varied abilities and talents," adds Snow. "All I do is try to provide them a forum where they can grow and use those abilities and talents."
A student who wrote to nominate Snow noted that the teacher cultivates the atmosphere of an open forum in the classroom by telling his students at the outset of the school year that he will teach not only world history, but also arts, literature, the sciences, and most importantly, current events.
"Instead of lectures and static Powerpoints, Mr. Snow encourages class conversations and extracurricular activities," said the student. "He always lets us state our beliefs, and we can truly be who we are in his class."
The student added that in addition to supporting a Model UN program for Moody students – and signing them up for competition with high school delegates "because he firmly believes we are just as good" – Snow has formed an international studies course that is primarily student-directed. The international studies group, which includes members of every social group at school, explores current events and requires students to present both sides of every argument. As a result, many formerly-reserved students have become more confident about sharing their ideas.
"To have an adult treat us like equals, and teach us to always do the impossible, has inspired the whole class," wrote the student. "I want to become a UN ambassador because of [Snow]."
The son of a high school English teacher who taught for more than 30 years in Pulaski County, Snow credits both his mother's example and his reading of Jonathan Kozol's book Savage Inequalities (about inequality in public education) for inspiring him to teach.
He also treasures his second-grade memories of being allowed to visit the classroom "Reading Barrel" when he finished his work early, and credits those visits with kindling the love of reading for pleasure that he tries to share with his students daily.
Snow says that his most rewarding moments are those in which he sees students becoming empowered as learners – moments "when they learn not for the sake of passing a test or improving a grade, but simply by becoming someone who loves to learn for learning's sake."
With so much time and effort focused on test results, data and the achievement of certain benchmarks, says Snow, "we forget that what matters the most is helping foster a love of knowledge that helps create a lifelong learner."
A recent email from a former student illustrated the kind of impact that Snow enjoys having on students. In his thank-you note, the student recalled that Snow would occasionally play music in class, and the student would go home and look up the artist, then listen on his own. "This led me to my transformed music taste," said the student, "which is surprisingly how I met most of my current friends: through discussing music!"
The student also thanked Snow for sparking lifelong interests in history and in running. When a classroom announcement was made urging rising ninth graders to look into cross country at Hermitage H.S., he reminded his teacher, "Guess who told me I should go check it out? You! And now, eight running seasons later, I'm still doing it."
But Snow insists he gets just as much from working with his "creative, enthusiastic, and funny" students as they do from him.
"I never dread going to work in the morning or returning to school after long breaks," he says, "because I can say with all honesty that I really do love what I do."
Short Pump Rotary volunteers help with rebuild, repair
On June 13, the Short Pump Rotary Club partnered with Schnabel Engineering for a day of volunteer work with Rebuilding Together Richmond. Team members (among them [from left] Chris Rufe, Melissa Abraham, Rick Naschold, and Micky Ogburn) completed a variety of repairs and home improvements ranging from painting and landscaping to cabinet installation and fence building.
"It was a privilege to be involved in this project," said club president Melissa Abraham. "The homeowner kept thanking the volunteers, but I think all of us would agree we are the ones who actually benefited. It was an opportunity to help a community member, fellowship with great people and improve our handyman skills." > Read more.

I got my suit for lap swimming, it is very comfortable and so far very durable, I had it for more than one year now; the only thing I dislike is the color fading, the original color was navy blue, very little after the purchase it turned into a kind of purpleish. Besides that it is a very good swimming suit.

The bathing suit was too big in the bottom. If you need extra room in the rear it would be a good fit. I do not. The leg area had too many gathers for a regular size rear end. I loved it other wise. I had planned to return it but it is too much trouble. I will not be doing mail order with this company anymore.
Not Good for Tall or "Big" Gals
from Michigan
on 4/9/2013
Got this one over a competition suit to be more "conservative." Hip and backside coverage is good, but topside, not so good. Back straps did loosen after first wear, but "bra shelf" is somewhere around mid-rib (and I don't have much up top). I am 5" 8", so maybe this is best for small to mid-length torso ladies. Longer torso, and you'll be worried about showing the headlights. The top front looks high, but each time I come out of the water to stand, I'm pulling up the front. It's more "scoop" than it looks in the picture. Big gals, beware. As many noted, this might be the motivator suit to make you lose a few, but for me, I would rather grow out of a suit than into one.
perfect suit
from Utah
on 4/1/2013
This is the third time i've ordered this suit. It fits perfectly, stays put, is stretchy AND supportive, soft - no chafing. It lasts a really long time in the heavily chlorinated pool I swim in 4-6 days a week. Please never discontinue this suit!!
Great suit!
from Cleveland Ohio
on 3/24/2013
This is the third time I have ordered this suit. So I have worn it for many years now. It lasts a long time and I love the fit. It does not go too low in back to show my love handles. That is important. I can swim hard and it stays in place.
Fits well, good fabric
Mary S.
from Savannah, GA
on 3/23/2013
I am an 8 and ordered a 10, which fits very well. I always have to size up with speedo. I like the ultraback, and the fabric seems very sturdy. I like the higher cut legs in the contemporary style, but did not realize the style also has a lower cut front. Not too revealing, but definitely lower than a moderate cut.
Very pleased
Golden Girl

Needed swimsuit in a hurry for water aerobics and I hate to shop because I live over an hour away from a mall. I'm a first time on line swimsuit buyer and not disappointed. The suit looks great, feels great and works well in the water. I think maybe I'll try a "long" size next since the straps are a wee bit tight and my rear end peeks out some if you know what I mean, but not enough to embarrass me. I'm 5"5-1/2, size 10 clothes so ordered a12 suit but need an extra inch. I plan on ordering more. I really like the look of the suit.

Suit fits great - easy to get on and off and I glide through the water with no resistance. Extra bra support is great!
from lakeport CA
on 3/9/2013
I usually wear a 12 and I bought a size 12 suit. Looked super from the front but the straps across the back cut into my flesh and caused very unattractive overlapping of the skin. I could lose some weight, admittedly, and it might work. This suit is very comfortable and flattering except for the back, in my case.
Speedo Ultraback Contempory Swimsuit
from Chicago
on 3/4/2013
Always wanted a Speedo and ordered a size 8; the 10 wasn't available in black... This suit has great lines but the shelf-bra wasn't for me and didn't provide enough coverage and the "head lights"; more than I wanted to show. I exchanged it for the Sporti that has a very similar cut with a light built in bra that was perfect for me.
Durable for Lap Swimming!
from Petaluma, CA
on 3/1/2013
I am a tall mature lap swimmer. My last suit was Tall which you no longer manufacture. I am OK with the suit I ordered. Most importantly my current suit in the same style has lasted about 1 year and still looks good! I swim at least 4 times per week. It would be better to have more choice in stylish suits for mature lap swimmers. Thanks!
swim suit
from Great Falls, MT
on 2/27/2013
I love the color, blue, and it fits very well. I swim a lot and need a suit that can take the chlorine. My black Speedo lasted for 3 years! before the lining wore out. Hoping this one lasts as long.
Great Fit
from Boston, MA
on 2/26/2013
I lap swim three to four times per week and usually go thru a bathing suit every 6 - 9 months. I liked the tight fit, double lining and the leg rise. The fit is tight but comfortable. The front is a little low cut but not too much exposure. I bought this suit in black and fushia.
Not a comfortable fit

The design of back felt too confining for aqua exercise. Better for swimming
Great Suit

Super Swimsuit

I swim a mile at least three times a week . . . this suit is very durable, covers everything and the straps stay in place. I have owned many of these in every color.

Program Governance
By Muhammad Ehsan Khan
Auerbach Publications – 2014 – 220 pages
Series: Best Practices and Advances in Program Management Series
Auerbach Publications – 2014 – 220 pages
Series: Best Practices and Advances in Program Management Series
Although program management has received much attention in recent books, program governance remains a relatively new subject. While selected books and standards touch on this important topic, few are devoted to program governance as a subject. This book fills that need.
Program Governance provides a thorough understanding of governance while reviewing the underlying theories. The first book dedicated to this subject, it caters to the needs of practitioners, researchers, and students of management and governance.
The book provides a holistic view of program governance while covering multiple elements of program governance. Topics covered include the governance structure, governance roles, governance functions, governance mechanisms, factors influencing the governance framework, and different domains of programs that come under the jurisdiction of a governance framework.
The book presents the author's own program governance framework, called the Contingent Governance Framework for Programs (CGFPrgTM), which is adaptable to suit different program contexts. This adaptability ensures that the different elements of governance, including structure and mechanisms, are aligned with program requirements. Such alignment results in an efficient and effective environment with an increased probability of program success.
The text supplies references to research and case studies to help readers understand key concepts in more detail. It also includes objectives at the end of each chapter to help readers gauge their knowledge of the subject.
The book clarifies the linkage/dependencies between program governance and other governance levels, such as international governance and corporate governance, which have a strong influence on governance framework for programs. It also explains the difference between the dynamics of temporary organizations, such as projects and programs, and permanent organizations. This distinction between temporary and permanent organizations provides readers with a practical understanding of how governance should be implemented in both types of organizations.

Misunderstandings about hemorrhoids are quite common. In fact, for thousands of years now, hemorrhoids have been misunderstood in countless cases. It is very surprising that this is the case since so many people across the world suffer from the disease. Likewise, there is a lot of misunderstanding about thrombosed external hemorrhoids. In fact, very few know what thrombosed hemorrhoids actually are.
There are two kinds of hemorrhoids – external and internal, thrombosed hemorrhoids are a complication of the conditions. When there is a complication in the external type, it is referred to as thrombosed external hemorrhoids.
Sometimes a clot develops on the anus or the rectum. Since these are located on the outside (being external in nature), they can be seen with the naked eye and can be felt too. They appear like peas that are frozen. Sometimes they are soft to the touch, and at other times they appear hard. When they become inflamed, thrombosed external hemorrhoids turn red in color (this happens because the vein can become strangulated and this leads to irritation), at other times they are either purple or blue in appearance.
Thrombosed external hemorrhoids cause a lot of problems to the sufferer as often there is more than minor pain. Even though the pain may become unbearable, surgery is usually not recommended. Lotion, creams and warm baths in most cases can assist in solving the issue. Changing one's diet can also help ease one's thrombosed external hemorrhoid problems. Doctors often recommend a diet of fiber – the idea being to soften the stool and ease the growth to reduce pressure on the anus. Natural healing products like H-Hemorrhoids to treat the symptoms as opposed to surgery is a great option.
However in some cases, diet, warm baths and creams cannot solve the problems. In such cases, surgery is recommended. Surgery aims to cut or drain the clot and in some instances, even the entire affected vein can be detached.
Though thrombosed external hemorrhoids often create immense pain, itch and swell, rarely do they cause bleeding.
What to do when someone is suffering from thrombosed external hemorrhoids?
Since they are located on the outside and can be seen with the naked eye, and felt too, it is possible that in many cases, the patient will feel that something is wrong themselves. The best thing to do is approach a medical professional, such as your doctor, who can confirm that it is indeed a case of thrombosed external hemorrhoids and advise on a course of action to take care of the condition.
There are some very effective natural solutions for treating the symptoms of thrombosed external hemorrhoids that can be tried out.

This is a heretical view and if it were left at that, I don't think much good would come of it.

text: Michael Bay's 2007 Transformers offered Bay at his most surprisingly reflective and unexpectedly restrained — the domestic scenes involving Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) and his parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White) felt particularly sincere — and also his most ingenious, as he merged man and machine in beautifully choreographed fight sequences to get us wondering, "How'd he do that?" Well, he's done it again — it, but nothing more. It bores, which isn't to suggest that Bay's not entirely into it. There are scant moments in this, um, story about a matrix keymajiggy that unlocks the sun-killing whoziwhatsis when he seems to be paying attention, such as a sequence during which a resurrected Megatron (hoo-boy) kidnaps Sam and fills the kid's orifices with insectlike Decepticons that slither around his innards for a look-see. Bay's in touch with his inner Cronenberg during this lone, profoundly isolated moment, the one scene during which you can actually tell what's happening — and to whom, because he lets the gross-out speak for itself. But why speak when you can SCREAM for almost two and a half hours?

In Response to Re: Comparing the D and the O : Ahh...another smart guy from Texas like myself. You are absolutely right Gary. This offense isn't all that's it cracked up to be. I feel like we are in the middle of a transformation but haven't yet completed it for whatever reason. Maybe it's timing, maybe it's lack of vision..i don't know. Your point about have some WRs that can stretch it is key. A point I made on another thread is that we have basically Gronk, Wes and Hern catching passes consistenly. We all know if you jam Wes and disrput his route, and play successful man coverage on Gronk, this offense sputters to say the least. Watch GB and NO. They have 4 good to great WRs that can create mismatches because of their strength and speed combination (Colston) and get seperation on their routes. Harder to jam off the line, and also opposing defenses can't keep 4 WRs in front of them. We unfortunately don't have that luxury as our offense is predicated on the short/middle of the field game. Here we go to my main point.... Lets complete the transformation. We have a big decision to make in resigning Wes. If we have $8-$10M to put into the WR spot, what do you do? Do you resign Wes, or do you go grab a guy like Colston or Jackson who play outside the numbers? Where do you spend your money? My feeling is we have 2 to 3 possible players that can play the slot well enough. Notice, I didn't say as good as Wes, but good enough for what we need. Hern, Edelman and possibly Vereen. OR, you draft a kid like Broyles out of Oklahoma and he becomes your new slot WR, but you don't have to tie up big money to do it. So, in essence you could have Broyles in the slot, Colston/Jackson outwide with Price. Then, you go get another big TE in the mold of Gronk. Good blocker/pass catcher like the Fleener kid out of Standford. That to me completes the transformation. 2 WRs who can play outside the numbers and stretch the field, 2 blocking/pass catching TE's, a mix of slot WRs in Broyles/Hern/Edelman/Vereen, and a TE in Hern that can pretty much line up anywhere on the field (HB, Slot, Outwide). Now, you have out of 1 personnel grouping, the ability to run heavy (primary 2 TE's) + Hern in the backfield with Ridley/BJGE/etc. running the ball, OR using same personnel grouping, you split those 2 TE's outwide, Hern in teh slot, Ridley/Vereen/BJGE passblock or release out of the backfield. You mix in your run as stated above, and you use Colston/someone like him and Price to stretch the field, keep D's honest. That's my solution to the offense problem. The defense is going to take some more time, but here is my high level on it via the draft and FA next year. I'm looking ahead by the way.... 1. Sign Matt Roth to play opposite Carter. Extend Carter for another year or two. 2. Sign RMathis from Jacksonville to play opposite McCourty. I don't want to see another rookie drafted at CB as we already have to develop Ras and the others. We need a vet. 3. Draft Manti Te'O, Luke Kuehly to play OLB (4-3) opposite Mayo (Mayo/Spikes/Manti) good LB corps. GUyton, Fletcher, Nink as depth. 4. Draft Jerel Worthy to play DT. Insurance and we can let Warren, Ellis or Haynesworth walk. Worthy starts next to Vince, Love/Pryor provide depth. 5. Draft Lester or TJ McDonald to play FS opposite Chung. Brown/Ihedegbo for depth. There you go, a remade team for next season. Unfortunately, we have what we have this year, but we need to remake both the O and D next and I think the above is a look into how I would do it if I were GM.

not yet there with you. why would we want to talk about what they should do in the offseason? are we really giving up already? better to discuss thoughts where improvements in o and d could come from based on the assets they have.

Due to my profession and location (I work in South Central, Compton, Inglewood area) I have grown as an individual and have learned to appreciate life and its blessings. I'm very family oriented and some call me a social butterfly. I love to meet new people and learn their cultural backgrounds and life experiences. I'm energetic and willing to embrace new adventures. I love to travel, so I would like someone who can keep up. Spontaneity is a necessity. I love to getaway for the weekend to relieve stress from the work week and treat myself to a cold beer! Yes, I said beer. I am looking for someone to make new memories with; someone who can be my partner through life's up's and down's. I give my all to my relationship; therefore, I'm looking for someone who'll have my back, as I would his. The purpose in life is to meet someone who you share the same moral and values and to create a family. Not only do I like to go out and have fun with my significant other, I also like to spend quality time, doing more simple things; such as, snuggling on the couch and watching a movie. If you believe you are strong, confident, ambitious, with a great sense of humor, let me hear from you!

Not just that our sharemarket is mirroring the big falls worldwide, but by the fact that most of us here in Australia are worried about our debt, and, as the Reserve Bank of Australia has reported, we are doing everything we can to pay down this debt as quickly as possible.
And what is the relevance here to housing? Other analysts may say that more of us will now buy housing because of the sharemarket volatility.
However, due to the fact that the primary concern here is debt, and for most buying a property means taking a massive loan, I strongly beg to differ.
Even before the events of this month, house prices were largely falling around the country.
And that was because of our own excessive levels of mortgage debt, which is at such a point that even having low lending rates of 7 per cent is too much to bear.
And to think we will all now go and buy a property because we sold out of shares?
Not a chance!
No, what will be happening is most of us will use the proceeds to pay down debt or leave the money in the bank.
So the answer is, the market is not about to take off, given what has happened in the sharemarket. And it is not yet the right time to buy.
But for those of you want to roll the dice and can afford to take a risk, perhaps now it is time to start to look and to get ready to buy.
If buyers are going to attempt to time the cycle, they are best off waiting until it is obvious the RBA is about to cut rates or has just cut rates.
That should herald the bottom of this downturn. This is what has triggered market recoveries in the past. And for now, the odds have increased that rates may well be cut.
But even if there is a rate cut before Christmas, there still isn't any rush to jump into the housing market. You see, stock listings are in oversupply around the country, including Sydney.
Right now there are 32,000 properties for sale on the Sydney market. Not the highest ever recorded, but nevertheless it is elevated and likely to rise given the approaching spring selling season.
For sellers, the message is this: gone are the days when you may just get some poor sucker to come along and pay an overinflated price for your property.
No, if you want to sell in this market, you will need to price your property at the market, no matter how slick your marketing campaign is.

Gear Review
Pretty Good...Standard +
This chalk bag makes me happy.
1. I have larger sized hands so it helps that it is a decently deep bag (but not too deep/cumbersome)
2. The dual belt loops do their job to keep the bag in a vertical position for ease of ambidextrous access.
3. The drawstring does it is job.
4. The belt is generous and does what it is supposed to do with its simple plastic clip.
5. Solid stitching and well laid logo paired with (in my opinion) a really cool design. <-- I got the Navy Corduroy pattern.
The only thing that would make this bag better is if it had a pocket for tape. Obviously this is not a major issue or I would not have bought it.
Just hit the button.. Add to Cart.. I don't even mind if you get the Blue one ;-)
