Guide to the Hypes Family Papers, 1700s-2010
Materials from the branch of the Hypes family that descended from Henry Hypes of Xenia, Ohio: Samuel Henry Hypes (1826-1916); his son, William Findlay Hypes; his grandson, Samuel Loomis Hypes; and his great-grandson, William P. Hypes.
Collection includes a wide range of material from the Hypes family, particularly William Findlay Hypes, Samuel Loomis Hypes, and William P. Hypes. William Findlay Hypes' materials highlight his career at Marshall Fields and Co. of Chicago and his service as President of the Y.M.C.A. of Chicago, with emphasis on his family's world tour on behalf of the Y.M.C.A. in 1924-1925. Hundreds of postcards and photographs collected by the family are contained in the papers, including images from India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), China, Europe, Egypt, and many more places, most unlabeled. Some material from Samuel Loomis Hypes' army service during World War I is also included, the most noteworthy being 24 black and white photographs featuring crowds awaiting the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the shipping of troops back to the United States, including photographs of African American soldiers. Materials from William P. Hypes relate to his work with the Y.M.C.A. in the mid-twentieth century. The family's research into their genealogy and family history, unidentified family photographs, and smaller amounts of correspondence and material from other family members are also included.

Collection Overview
There is a wide range of material from the Hypes family's many generations present in this collection. Some early material exists from Henry Hypes, including an inventory of his property upon his death, and some correspondence from relatives. Other early materials include family photographs, which are largely unlabeled and undated but include formats such as tintypes, a daguerreotype, cartes de visite, and others. The Hypes' attempts to reconstruct their family tree resulted in several letters between extended family members and distant cousins, as well as genealogical maps and notes, dating from the early to mid-twentieth century.
The majority of the collection dates from William Findlay Hypes and his family. W.F. Hypes' materials include correspondence and clippings about his career with Marshall Fields and Co., as well as news coverage of his world tour on behalf of the Y.M.C.A. from 1924 to 1925. The collection also contains photographs and postcards from this trip, featuring images from India, China, Japan, Egypt, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Europe, and other unidentified places. The photographs are largely gelatin silver prints, and many have silvering. The majority of photographs are amateur shots presumably taken by the Hypes family. However, there are several sets of images which were clearly purchased by W.F. Hypes or other family members as travel souvenirs, including a set from India taken by H.R. Ferger and a set from Taormina, Italy. These all appear to date from the early 1900s. Many types of postcards are present, including real photo postcards and tinted color postcards. Several postcard books were purchased as souvenirs. Most postcards have been sorted by location; real photo postcards have also been sleeved to better protect the images. Real photo postcard locations include Norway, Manila, China, Japan, and a set from the Canadian Rockies.
An earlier trip to Europe and the Middle East by W.F. Hypes and his wife is described in letters between them and their daughter Muriel. This trip appears to have been taken in May and June, 1910. Since most of the collection's photographs are undated, some could date from this trip instead of the world tour trip from 1924-1925.
One part of the collection is closed to researchers: there is a small amount of nitrate and safety negatives that have been collected in Box 6 of the materials. These appear to be from W.F. Hypes, and include family photographs, scenes from Jamaica, and scenes of a tiger hunt during the Hypes' Y.M.C.A. tour. The tiger hunt images are available as prints in the photographs portion of the materials. All negatives are closed to researchers.
Along with the extensive amount of photographs and postcards, W.F. Hypes' portion of the papers includes souvenir booklets and other collectibles from his travels. Also present are materials from the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893, including a set of tickets as well as a stock certificate. Hypes' political leanings can be inferred from a Republican National Convention ticket for the 1904 election, as well as a small, movable medal that spins and denounces William Jennings Bryan.
Another noteworthy part of the collection comes from Samuel Loomis Hypes, W.F. Hypes' son, who served as a captain in the U.S. Army's 803rd Pioneer Infantry during World War I. This portion of the papers contains 24 black-and-white photographs (18? June - 19 July 1919) featuring crowds awaiting the signing of the Treaty of Versailles and the shipping of troops back to the United States. Photographs often have captions in white ink. There are 6 crowd scenes in Paris before and outside Versailles before and after the signing of the treaty. However, the majority of the photographs follow the movement of ships and troops out of Brest Navy yard, including the USS Imperator and the USS Philippine. There are group photos of the 803rd's officers and one photograph of a German submarine. Among the 4,000 troops aboard the Philippine were many African-American soldiers, and there are photographs of these men playing in the 803rd's regimental band and of a boxing match they held during the voyage, as well as other photos. The collection also contains two postcards showing group photographs of soldiers [officers?] taken at Plattsburg, N.Y.[?], in 1916.
Other materials from Samuel Loomis Hypes include his officer's record book, honorary discharge following the war, as well as clippings about Sugar Hollow, a North Carolina development begun by Hypes and his wife in the 1950s.
Finally, the collection also includes several files from William P. Hypes, an officer in the Y.M.C.A. in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly from his work towards the Y.M.C.A. World Action program.

Historical Note
The branch of the Hypes family documented in this collection descended from Nicholas Hipes, a cabinet maker who emigrated from Oberstein, Germany, in 1750. Following his first wife's death at sea, Hipes re-married in Philadelphia and settled with his second wife in Virginia. The couple had three sons, including Henry Hipes, who later changed his name to Hypes following a disagreement with his oldest brother, Peter Hipes. Peter apparently mismanaged the family's land and finances following Nicholas' death, so angering his brothers Henry and John that they changed their names to Hypes.
Henry Hypes and his wife, Patience Reynolds, were married on March 12, 1795, and lived in Virginia. Following a camp meeting, the couple converted to Methodism, freed their slaves, and were subsequently driven out of their Virginia neighborhood by their slave-holding neighbors. In 1811, they moved to Xenia, Ohio, with their children. Patience died in 1823, and Henry re-married the following year. His oldest daughter by his first marriage, Nancy Hypes, married Nathan Horner in Ohio. In 1824, the Horners settled in Lebanon, Illinois, where they ran a mill and general store. Nancy's brother, Benjamin Hypes, soon joined them there and eventually bought out the store.
Henry Hypes also fathered Samuel Henry Hypes, who was born on September 25, 1825, in Xenia, Ohio. Samuel Henry grew up in Xenia and also spent several years clerking for his brother, Benjamin, in Lebanon. While in Lebanon he met Hannah Van Brocklin, a teacher; they married in Oneida, N.Y., on December 31, 1856, and settled permanently in Xenia. Samuel Henry and Hannah Hypes had six children: Henry Martin Hypes (1858-1868); Oran F. Hypes (a senator, d. 1915); William Findlay Hypes; Lincoln R. Hypes; Mrs. William L. McCague; and Carrie Hypes.
Samuel Henry Hypes was a store clerk in Xenia. During the Civil War he traveled to Shiloh and Vicksburg as a photographer, returning to Ohio in 1863. He also served as assistant postmaster of Xenia until the 1870s. In 1872, he entered the insurance business, eventually founding a fire and real estate insurance company. Hannah Hypes died in 1916; Samuel Henry Hypes died in 1917.
Their son William Findlay Hypes moved to Chicago in 1880 and was the general sales manager of the wholesale house of Marshall Field and Co. for over thirty years. Hypes also served as president of the Chicago Y.M.C.A., president of the Union League Club in 1915, and was the first president of the North Shore Musical Festival Association. In 1924, he left with his wife on a nine-month world tour on behalf of the Y.M.C.A. The couple traveled to Y.M.C.A. centers in Japan, China, Manila, Korea, India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Palestine, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and Europe.
William Findlay Hypes had at least three children: Muriel, Samuel Loomis, and Ruth. Samuel Loomis Hypes was a captain the U.S. Army's 803rd Pioneer Infantry during World War I. Following the war, he was a purchasing agent for Marshall Field and Co., and later became President of the Weiboldt Stores of Chicago. He and his wife, Charlotte Hypes, moved to Fairview, North Carolina, and started the Sugar Hollow Development Co. in 1953.
Samuel Loomis Hypes' son, William P. Hypes, also worked for the Y.M.C.A. in the 1960s and 1970s. Several files from his work are present in this collection.

Random matrices and random quantum channels
Speaker(s): Benoit Collins
Abstract: In this talk I will describe how random matrix theory and free probability theory (and in particular, results of Haagerup and Thorbjornsen) can give insight into the problem of understanding all possible eigenvalues of the output of important classes of random quantum channels. I will also describe applications to the minimum output entropy additivity problems.

To me WW, the question isn't as much of "time", but "has God already begun creating life"...IMO, that occurs within the first split-second...I'm not against contraception, preventing...but once it's begun, I just can't see how it's OK to end it. Maybe I don't have the complete understanding here, but that's pretty clearly what I see right now.


text: That is crazy! I don't want to sound rude or anything but man if my step son was a sex offender at least i can tell him off ...right now i am on the verge of telling my step kids off and i can't because its my side against theirs and most likely they will twist and manipulate others to believe they are little angels and they are not. My step son lets see did drugs, went to pscyhologist/therapist, drug center to stay clean, he stole from his great grandmother over 200 dollars, didn't ever pay her back, he lies constantly to everyone, he manipulates, he is selfish, disgusting, inconsiderate; he already flunked classes for 3 years till he moved in with us, his dad and me, he did good, but he hung around with the bad kids, he has skipped school plenty of times. we don't trust him at all. we have a lock now for our door. I don't blame you for hating him.

County Commissioner of District #3, Jimmy Long, has stated that he will not seek reelection when his team expires at the end of this year. Health issues and the stress of the job are contributing factors in his decision.
"After walking in their shoes," stated Long, "I have a lot of respect for all the past commissioners.
Long is in the seventy year of his two year service and has accomplished quite a lot during this time. He sought and obtained new source of revenue to fund the many projects that the north end of the county has needed, including replacing over 40 bridges.
During his final year in office, Long will be focusing on completing several projects, including the Nolia Loop.
The Nolia Loop project, located near Nashoba, began in 2013, The 1.5 miles from Nashoba to S.H. 144. The construction area will extend approximately four miles south and cross the little river to improve drainage and smooth out some of the hilly terrain. It will be a total resurfacing project, including asphalt pavement, new asphalt drives and culverts for the residents. Funding is a part of the County Improvements for Roads and Bridges (CRIB) fund. A total of @2.28 million is allocated for this project, according to Leidos Engineering in Oklahoma City.
Long also has several other projects he has decided to finish before his term is up. They include: The Hansford Road Project in Albion, Fish Farm Road near Tuskahoma, and a income survey by the federal government is being conducted to determine eligibility for funding to replace Tuskahoma streets.
"I've tried to do a good job for the people in my district," said Long "and I've found that you can't please everyone. In fact, your lucky if you can please anyone. But I've had two good terms and I want to thank everyone who supported and encouraged me."

Once the objects have been collected from the beaches by adults, sorted according to object and color and washed, the Mini Club Med® can get on with the creative side of the activity, during which the children invent objects and stories, do photography, create large-scale works of art and put on exhibitions.
The activity is run by GO®s. *For Club Med Resorts that are not by the sea, the objects used are recyclable waste such as disposable cups, straws, corks, etc, from the Resort kitchens and bars.

Things I liked:Light weight compared to others in this power class also it has sling mounts, very nice. If you own an AR gun many of the rail parts will go right on this, sights etc.
Things I would have changed:For what these cost wouldn't really change much got one on sale for under 100.00 so have to consider that price point.
What others should know:I think for people that have no experience using the type of sight on this rifle they could have a longer learning curve. I saw people in the service that could never even qualify with the m-16. I switched the front sight for one designed to sit on the rail they are lower and the front blades are thinner. I sighted in with the stock carry handle sights and it did shoot to the left quite a bit. It takes awhile to break this in, I tested 8 different pellet types and the H&N Baracuda hunter 10.3gr will print single hole from a bench rest at 25 yards with both open sights and scoped. I have this sighted in at 40 yards and pellets touch. The gun is very sensitive to pellet typ, it hated RWS of any kind shot 5 inch groups. Beeman Kodiak 10.6 gr were great also .25 at 25yds. Crossman about 1 inch at 25yds. you need a chrono to really see what is going on. Chp's 7.9gr=928fps, RWS 8.2gr=938fps,JSB exact 8.4gr=812fps, H&N Baracuda hunter 10.3gr=852fps. 7.1 gr=1005fps.
Things I liked:things i liked about the mtr77 was how it looks like a m16 with the full stock..and the sound of some pellets they sound like a 22 rifle
Things I would have changed:cocking the rifle takes alot of effort and is brutal first out of the box my arm actually hurt for a whole day ..and the accuracy of the rifle is not to good at all
What others should know:if you like the m16 or military look this rifle is a+..and it can be a deadly rifle .....as for cocking the rifle the weight of the rifle and accuracy..all a big thumbs down
Things I liked:I absolutely Love the appearance and weight of this AR look alike! I haven't shot it yet because I'm waiting for my aftermarket sights to arrive.
Things I would have changed:The carry handle rear sight is definitely a P.O.S.! The front sight doesn't impress me either. If I was to suggest a change to this gun, it would be that the company put a real carry handle it, not this plastic thing that is neither fish nor fowl. It is only similar in appearance to a carry handle, and doesn't go far enough to be a proper rear sight. The slot into which you place your hand isn't big enough to take an average man sized hand! It is made for a boy! This gun is not made for a boy, as it takes the strengt6h of a man to work the break action. Why put a boys handle on it? Also, and this is a big negative, the carry handle has no hole in the channel to allow for the installation of a carry handle sight base! There isn't any way to mount a scope or dot sight because of this! Many folks would like to be able to mount such sights. The handle channel isn't wide enough to allow for a hole to be drilled into the channel base, so it can't even be modified!
What others should know:Because the carry handle is real junk, you'll probably have to spend another $30-$40 for a good after market AR/4 carry handle w/ mount, to do what the one supplied should have been able to do! That will necessitate matching the front sight to whatever the height of your new after market rear sight/handle might be. You may (should) buy a different, more sturdy front sight as well? You might want to consider buying the scoped version of this gun and then simply make an after market purchase of a proper carry handle w/ channel mount and front sight? The scope isn't much, but you can probably sell it to someone, if you don't like it, or you can mount it on the channel mount of the new after market carry handle. I bought a red dot sight to mount on top of the carry handle, so a proper handle & mount are imperative to my requirements. This gun should have come with a proper set of sights and a carry handle that a hand can fit through! But for these failings, I would have given it 5 stars!
Scope height really affects accuracy in air guns unless shooting at one distance only. Point being the last thing I'd want is a scope up on the handle. Plus the shock when firing the gun would probably break the handle if it had a scope on it. For those reasons I imagine they made the handle to deter mounting a scope on it.
No problem with sights or carry handle on mine. Sure you can buy aluminum handles & sights by spending another $40-60, but what comes w/ gun works just fine as long as instructions arefollowed. Personally I would much rather use that money for pellets & targets. Like this review, several other reviews of this rifle sound like the buyers were expecting a Colt firearm for less than $175.

Lol. You got me. Totally clicked in on this one. Nicely done Rene... nicely done.
PS. Archer rules!!
"Are these the first spy shots of the iPhone 5s?!?!?!?!?!" No. God no. And neither are those KIRF pictures posted by a bunch of sites in Asia today. If Apple follows their previous S-series pattern, iPhone 5s cases wouldn't be high order news anyway. At best, they'd be just another small signpost on the long road towards Apple's next release.
Big news would a re-designed casing, or a casing for a new device, reported by at least semi-reliable sources, and passing normal tests of reason, logic, and sanity.
If you see the photos floating around, ignore them. They're not the iPhone 5s. We now return you to your regularly scheduled, non-Archer-verse Apple coverage...

We don't post link bait. Ever. This post was anti-link bait. If we wanted to link bait you, we would have posted it the way a lot of other sites did.
If the ??!?!?!?!?!?!? in the title and the picture of Archer on the post didn't tell you everything you needed to know, then my humor failed you, and I apologize.
But seriously, it was a ridiculous story and this was the only fitting way I could figure out how to warn people off of it without losing my mind and quitting the internet. Again.
Lol well played sir, well played.
Unfortunately, I came to the blog from a twitter notification where you don't see the picture. I don't think anybody could tell it was a joke from the tweet, if that means your humor failed me, so be it.
Why the Times of India referrance??
Because they posted the bogus iPhone 5S pictures today
Man people get so sensitive about the articles on the site. You obviously find merit in at least part of the reporting or articles offered. If you don't like the content of something, why do you find the need to berate or attempt to belittle something that someone else has put effort into? I don't want to hear about the time you spent reading it, because you spend additional time coming up with something to say and typing into the comments. Take it as entertainment, and if you feel that it is not newsworthy, then do your own research and create your own news.
There are always cat in sweaters, or dogs playing the piano on youtube if that floats your boat.
Man, no one gets comedy these days, eh?

If you've been hanging around design blogs for a while, you know Kelly Wearstler. If you watched Top Design, you know Kelly Wearstler. And once you see her spaces, you definitely know Kelly Wearstler. Like me, you may not know how to pronounce her last name; but you cannot mistake her work!
Think big; think bold; think over-the-top out-of-this-world fab-u-lous. Kelly layers colors, patterns, textures and styles like a pastry chef making the world's wildest strudel. And like a strudel, it's not to everyone's taste, but it's earned plenty of die-hard devotees and wannabes (Pop Tart, anyone?)
Wearstler musts include Hollywood glam pieces like an opulent wing chair, laquered table, and gold china. Get your fix of graphic prints with a rug and pillows designed by Kelly herself, and pay homage to her love of the 70's with a blob-tastic lounger and lamp. Don't forget modern art, a squiggly sculpture, and a giant head--signature touches no KW fan would go without!

Westport While entering the 2013 Section VII/Class D playoffs as a ninth seed, the Willsboro Warriors were not going to give away their title as defending champions without a fight.
In the opening round against Westport Feb. 20, the Warriors fell behind early but clawed their way back to within two points late in the fourth quarter before the combination of Anderson and Jonathan Gay sealed a 43-36 Eagles victory.
"We played really good team defense, as they did," Eagles head coach Michael "Ike" Tyler said after the game. "They made some big shots and they were not going to go away."
"They played hard tonight," Willsboro Head Coach Jim Spring said. "The kids worked hard, worked hard and worked even harder."
The Eagles held a 9-4 lead after the first quarter which they extended to 13-4 early in the second quarter. The Warriors responded, outscoring Westport 10-4 for the rest of the first half, cutting the lead to 17-14 at halftime.
Trailing by seven after three quarters, the Warriors came out firing in the fourth, cutting the Westport lead to just two quickly.
With Westport leading 36-34 with two minutes remaining in the game, Anderson Gay connected on a long three-pointer and then hit the front end of a one-and-one to give the Eagles a 40-34 lead.
"They were playing good defense inside and I was able to get off a good shot," he said. "When I got to the free throw line on the next play, coach told me to use my knees. It's something that we worked on in practice all the time."
Anderson's twin brother, Jonathan, sealed the game connecting on three-of-four free throws in the final minute.
"I was relaxed and I didn't look at the clock," Jonathan said. "I took my time like I do in practice."

continued A nine-year Symetra Tour veteran, Fererro, a California native, a shot a bogey-free 67, while Little, a recent University of Oregon graduate, started her round by holing out for eagle on the par-four 10th, was four under through five holes and played par golf the rest of the way.
Five players - Courtney Massey, Olivia Jordan-Higgins, Michelle Shin, Cydney Clanton and Rachael Schmidt - share fourth place at three-under-par 68, Son and Rohanna sharing the low rounds in the afternoon wave.
Five more, including Breanna Elliott, Amy Meier, Marina Alex, Seehee Son and Rachel Rohanna, are at 69. In all, 23 players broke par and 11 matched it.
Section III girls golf champion Larissa Carter, from Auburn, was one under through two holes, but fell to an 81 by day's end. Defending champion Victoria Elizabeth struggled, too, only managing a 77, while 2009 champion Jenny Suh had a 75, likely knocking both of them out of contention early.

Indonesia Mengglobal
[This article originally appeared in Indonesia Mengglobal, a site where Indonesian students and alumni from US top schools such as Stanford, MIT, Harvard and UC Berkeley share their study-abroad tips and experience. The site aspires to make high-quality global education more accessible for Indonesian students]
Sitting on the south benches of Washington Square Park, overlooking the arch, one should always take the time to be overcome by an alarming sense of historicity. You are currently sitting in the very place where Buddy Holly, the Beatnik generation and college students revived the late 20th century's bohemian spirit.
Across from you, under the arch is where New York University graduates would triumphantly march upon finishing their four years. You are standing in front of the arena where US President Barack Obama delivered his speech at the culmination of his Change '08 campaign. NYU students once again rocked the park with their democratic voices in the fall of 2011 with the Occupy movement.
NYU's President, John Sexton often talks about how close New York University's Washington Square Campus was to bankruptcy in the 1980s. Poor management and the leadership's ignorance of the university's main problems pushed the university to the brink of its existence.
Even then, the decade saw a multi-billion dollar campaign executed to update facilities and a visit from the King of Spain. Ultimately, it was the university's unfaltering persistence in being a part of its own historicity that led David Kirp to call it "the American success story in Higher Education."
A City of Prose and Fantasy – Leon Trotsky
NYU consists of 45,000 undergraduate and graduate students, making it one of the largest private institutions in America. The sheer size of NYU makes it an excellent research university with wonderful facilities.
Although NYU is divided into schools, cross-school registration is an interesting concept that has been well-executed by the administration. Therefore, it is still possible to acquire a holistic liberal arts education despite the restrictions of a major.
The following are some of the most popular majors chosen by NYU students:
1. Business and Management
The Stern School of Business is one of the most selective and highest rated institutions in the finance industry. Stern students are required to take a rigorous set of courses, many of which entail a strong foundation in advanced mathematics and calculus. Most Stern students go through recruitment in their junior year, which means most will graduate university with a good steady job in hand. NYU's setting in the city allows most students to juggle an academic career with an internship at multinational corporations.
2. Journalism
Unlike many other schools, all journalism majors in NYU are required to double-major in another discipline. The reasoning behind the condition states that although journalism teaches students about the presentation a discourse, it is important to also have an understanding of the discourse itself. Some popular majors that accompany this program of study include Art History, Political Science, International Relations and Area Studies. Once again, journalism is another area where many students take advantage of the city's prime location to jumpstart their career in the local scene.
3. Art History
NYU boasts one of the most highly regarded Art History departments in the nation. Moreover, the university's proximity to resources such as the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney and Guggenheim further buttresses in-class learning. Although it is not required, most Art History students double-major in another program of study and draw their own interdisciplinary connections across their undergraduate academic career.
4. Performing Arts
NYU is the university that has produced the most Academy Award winners compared to any other institutions. NYU's preeminence as a performing arts school is bolstered by two factors.
First, the school's facility truly supports the student's academic experience. A film student studying the process of making sitcoms can make use of the school's own indoor TV studio. Conservatory students spend days at work with New York theater companies and put up main stage shows in the school's many black box theaters.
Second, NYU's location in the arts capital of the world provides a twofold relationship between the faculty/students and the industry. Many actors, living playwrights and filmmakers working in New York City would make time to visit students in class. Simultaneously, performing arts students are able to jumpstart their career in the New York arts scene in their youth.
As David Mamet once recalled in a class at the Atlantic Acting Studio, "What actress wouldn't give an arm and a leg to start her career at 18 instead of 22?"
One of the most important aspects of an NYU academic career is the Study Away program. NYU students can choose from a plethora of courses offered in destinations from Washington DC, London, Paris and Florence to Accra, Sydney and Shanghai. Study abroad students are not merely dispensed in another affiliated institution or abandoned in a miserly youth hostel; for instance, NYU's Florence site features a large villa with renaissance statues and a garden, complete with a museum of classical European art.
Above all, an international principle is very important in understanding discourse at a higher level. Knowledge did not only originate in Europe and the universe does not center in New York City; it is not only important but integral to depart from the self and journey through the realm of the Other in order to study even the most basic concepts in a liberal arts education.
A Third-Rate Babylon – H.L. Mencken
Many people have admitted that coming to NYU means you will never go through a normal college experience. There are no frat rows or dorm parties. Nobody is excited for "the big game" tonight. In fact, student life at NYU is inextricably linked with life in the city with studying as your full time occupation.
New York City offers the best of the world's entertainment; there is never a shortage of cheap tickets to film premiers or Broadway shows for NYU students. Music enthusiasts can always enjoy concerts at Madison Square Garden or lesser known indie gigs in Webster Hall. The key is to realize that good entertainment isn't always mainstream; I have seen the best theater in off-off Broadway houses and the most talented bands performing in Washington Square Park.
Even for the less adventurous, New York City's overwhelming sense of historicity again plays a role; from the Bronx Zoo to Coney Island, every inch of the city has something to offer by virtue of their purpose and perseverance in playing the role of the illusionist.
In order to be in New York, you have to be willing to be lucky – E.B. White
Although New York University is considered a highly selective private institution, it is still a realistic reach school for most high-achieving high school students. The average SAT scores of students who are accepted to NYU range from 1800-2160, most of whom are in the top 10 percent of their graduating class.
Due to the volume of applicants, NYU does not grant interviews. However, the key to getting accepted into this university can be easily decoded: First, you need to know what you want. If life in New York City and studying at NYU is your first choice in life, applying early decision will greatly advantage you.
With good standardized test scores, sterling academic and extracurricular performance as well as a gripping essay that is unique and sincere, NYU is definitely within your reach.
If you are applying to a visual/performing arts program (19 percent of NYU students major in these areas), a good portfolio or audition is also required. The complexity of these disciplines makes it impossible to straightly describe a good portfolio/audition, but it is always important to keep in mind that admissions committees are always looking for artistic maturity and potential, as well as a willingness to learn in a successful applicant.
If NYU is an institution that is appropriate to your academic and professional aspirations, that you will one day have the opportunity to sit on a bench in Washington Square Park and admire the zeitgeist of New York City. I hope that your presence will also define another historic moment that contributes to humanity's triumph in the modern world.

FORT POLK, La., May 28, 2010 Enter the tiny, fictional village of West Sangan on this sprawling training base and you'll encounter a world about as far removed from western Louisiana as one can imagine.
The village, one of 22 dotting the Joint Readiness Training Center, looks as if it's been plucked like Dorothy's house in "The Wizard of Oz" from one of the most isolated regions of Afghanistan and transplanted deep within a Louisiana pine forest.
Its plywood structures have been "Hollywoodized," embellished with Styrofoam facings to resemble authentic-looking mosques, homes, food markets and shops. Goats roam freely, some curling beneath fruit and vegetable carts to seek shelter from the hot sun. Clothing hangs from the windows as if set out to dry, and residents dressed in authentic Afghan garb sit together at tables and in doorways, chatting away the hours.
These residents -- portrayed by civilian role players, many from the Middle East – serve as the single most important training feature the Joint Readiness Training Center offers units preparing for deployments to Afghanistan.
The role players represent the people behind the population-centric U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. They're the Afghan citizens who must reject the Taliban and al-Qaida and embrace the Afghan government and its security forces for that strategy to succeed.
So as units encounter these villages during their training rotations here, a huge teaching point is on the line.
West Sagan is "amber," explained Veronica Wilson, team leader for the village's role players. That means its population is neither "red," with allegiances to the insurgency, nor "green," supporting the Afghan government, and by extension, the coalition.
So when U.S. troops enter the village, operating in ways they hope will turn the village fence-sitters in their favor, Wilson and her co-workers do their best to remain in character and maintain a hard line.
"We will accept anything they are telling us and anything they will give us," she said. "We just won't give them any information in return."
Some of the role players, like Darrell Thrasher, serve as Afghan security forces and join the rotational training units in combined operations. Wearing the blue uniform of an Afghan National Police officer with the Afghan flag patch on his sleeve, he explained the big changes over the past five years in how rotational training units interact with host-nation security forces.
"There's been a huge transformation of tactics," Thrasher said. "At the beginning, they would have full-on engagement with the enemy with no local interaction. … But that has all changed. It's gone from the [rotational training unit] acting on its own to one that recognizes the importance of working with the population."
Many of the training center's role-players were born and raised in the Middle East and bring important cultural and language lessons to the training scenarios. Aziz Shoja, who left his native Afghanistan 28 years ago, now serves as a tribal elder here. Abdul Resuli, who arrived in the United States from Afghanistan just last year, plays a religious leader.
As he witnesses realistic training designed to prepare troops for Afghanistan deployments, Shoja takes advantage of every opportunity to impart some of the cultural knowledge that will help their cause.
"We try to teach them everything we can about our country, from A to Z," he said. "This is an important part of the training they get here. And it can save not just their lives, but Afghan lives, too."
James "Fuzzy" Hall, a role player in West Sangan's butcher shop, tries to interject some lessons, too. Hall paid his first visit to Fort Polk to attend Army basic training in 1963 before being stationed in Korea, then deploying to Vietnam. He remembers sadly how many of his buddies returned from Vietnam in body bags, and said he's back at Fort Polk almost 50 years later because he wants to save today's troops from the same fate.
"In Vietnam, we didn't win the hearts and minds of the people, because we didn't learn to show them respect," he said. "If we had had training like this back then, many of the ones who were killed would have come home."
Although Hall is supposed to be a fence-sitter in his training role, he admitted he sometimes breaks out of character to tip off soldiers when he notices them doing something amiss. If, for example, he notices a medic's weapon dragging in the dirt while attending to his simulated injuries, he'll whisper to the soldier to clean his weapon.
"It's so hard when you see them making mistakes that could get them killed," he said. "The way I see it, if I have helped save one soldier's life, I have done my duty."
Across the board, a sense of duty drives the role players here as they pull long hours in often-uninviting conditions to give deploying troops a jump on what they'll encounter in Afghanistan.
Wilson, wife of a retired soldier who deployed to the first Gulf War, understands what the importance of the lessons troops learn here. "When they leave us, they are going to be deployed," she said. "So we do everything we can to help bring someone's husband or son or daughter home.
"You can always be rekeyed here," she continued, referring to the laser gear soldiers wear here that simulates when they've been hit by enemy fire. "You can't be rekeyed over there, when it's real."
John Cummings, known around West Sangan as "Big John," gets up at 2 every morning to drive to Fort Polk. He's been a role player here since January, often incorporating his real-life leg amputation into an exercise scenario.
"All of us feel that the reward for doing this work is the training that we are giving these people," he said. "We're so proud to be doing this, knowing that what we do here is helping keep them out of harm's way when they're overseas."
(This is the last article in a five-part series about how the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk, La., is preparing the 101st Airborne Division's 4th Brigade Combat Team for its upcoming deployment to Afghanistan.)

WASHINGTON, March 27, 2006 Over the past three years Iraq has witnessed a tremendous boom in reconstruction and economic development, the U.S. director of the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office said.
"It's useful to remember where we were in 2003 with liberation," Ambassador Daniel Speckhard said during a press conference in Baghdad March 24. "In 2003, Iraq had the highest debt ... as a share of gross domestic product in the world. And today about two-thirds of that debt has been written off as a result of the support by the international community."
Iraq's per capita income had fallen from around $4,200 per person in 1980, which at the time was higher than Spain, to $500 per person in March 2003, he said. Today it stands at $1,200 -- "a significant advancement in a very short time," Speckhard said.
"The country was a one-man dictatorship, a completely controlled society, no free press, no access to outside information, no voice for the people in their government or their future," he said. "Today we've had ... national elections, with the last national election having participation by 75 percent of the population and broad participation across sectarian and ethnic lines."
Speckhard pointed out that Iraq now has a free press, more than 2,000 Internet cafes, and more than 5 million cell phone users -- up from virtually zero in 2003. All of these things help connect Iraq to the outside world "in ways that it never was before, providing freedom and opportunities for Iraqi citizens," he said.
The Iraqi infrastructure was on the verge of collapse in 2003, he said, but thanks to U.S. aid, rebuilding projects have moved forward at a tremendous clip. "The World Bank in 2003 estimating there was a need for $60 billion in investments in the infrastructure just to bring Iraq back to where it needed to be," he said. "And that's the context in which the U.S. government provided $21 billion in appropriations to support relief and reconstruction in Iraq."
In addition, more than 30,000 Iraqi businesses have been registered in the past year alone, he said.
"If you look out into the streets, ... you'll see a very vibrant economy," Speckhard said. "People (are) buying consumer and durable goods -- refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions and so forth."
He said the demand for electricity has doubled since March 2003, which has presented a significant challenge. "But that's a sign again of the growing economy and the robustness of the economic activity taking place and the freedoms that people are enjoying, which they didn't enjoy in the past to access those goods," he said.
The ambassador emphasized that Iraq is almost at prewar levels in terms of electricity production. The country is now producing 4,100 megawatts of electricity per week compared to 4,300 megawatts before the war, he said.
Nineteen water treatment plants that serve 2.7 million Iraqis also have been built, he said.
Progress has been made on the education front as well, he said. "We have over 3,000 rehabilitation projects in the schools area and have distributed, with the U.N., about 9 million textbooks," he said. "And 36,000 teachers have been trained through programs supporting Iraqi teachers."
A nationwide vaccination program has immunized nearly 100 percent of Iraqi children, he added.
"The U.S. government remains committed to Iraq's future and that we remain committed to continuing our reconstruction efforts and programs and to continue to help Iraqi people during this period of transition," Speckhard said.

Another blow appears to be in store for the controversial completion of the Mark Clark Expressway across Johns and James islands.
Charleston County Council lobbed the political hot potato to the state Department of Transportation early this year. The DOT Commission last week voted unanimously against taking on the project, effectively tossing it back to council, where at least five of the nine members, which constitutes a majority, said they are inclined to vote against it.
But powerful project supporters, such as S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell and Charleston Mayor Joe Riley, continue to push for the $558 million road project.
Council Chairman Teddie Pryor said he has asked staff members to prepare a report on the countys options for Interstate 526, and to present it to council within 45 days.
Pryor is one of three council members who said they continue to support a parkway-style design for the extension of I-526, so the road forms a loop around the Charleston area. One member said she remains undecided.
Pryor acknowledged that the parkway plan, which the DOT selected as its preferred alternative, hasnt garnered widespread support. He wants staffers to find out how much the roads design can be modified without having to repeat a long and arduous DOT approval process. That process involved a dozen public meetings and the presentation of several alternatives.
Harrell said he thinks County Council should settle on another design for the road, one that would satisfy more people. Then it should hold a public hearing on that plan. He added that if the county had to start over on the approval process, it would be worth the effort. Lets do it the right way, Harrell said.
Harrell also said he thinks some council members could reconsider their decisions because money now is available for the project, and a DOT survey found that the majority of people who would be affected by the road support it.
The DOT survey results contradicted the outcome from public hearings on the project, where the majority who commented were opposed to the road.
Coastal Conservation League Director Dana Beach, a vocal opponent of the project, likened modifying the roads design to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Its not the design, Beach said. Its that people dont want the road.
Opponents have said the road would promote sprawl, especially on Johns Island, and that the state has more pressing road projects. Supporters have said the project is needed to alleviate traffic congestion and make local roads safer.
Councilman Herb Sass said he thinks the design is a problem that probably cant be resolved. County Council must build something most people dont want, he said, or give up all the money for the project.
Pryor also said the county would be on the hook for $11.6 million already spent on the project if council decided not to build it. And taxpayers would foot the bill.
Councilman Dickie Schweers, a project opponent, said he thinks Pryor and council Vice Chairman Elliott Summey are inflating the threat that the county could have to pay back the money, using it as a scare tactic to bring more council members to their side.
Schweers said he thinks the money was legitimately spent on the process, and the resulting decision not to build the road is a viable option. Only a judge can determine if the county would have to repay the money, he said. And he thinks the county could make a strong case to support not having to pay it back.
Schweers also said he hopes council makes a decision on I-526 soon, because conflict around the project is diverting councils attention from other local road priorities. As long as I-526 is on the table, nothing else will happen.

Julie Morgenstern Brings Us Delegation Part 1: Providing Clear Directions
Organizing expert Julie Morgenstern on how to delegate
Click here to read the whole story on the BEYOND TODAY blog
Imagine you are shipping something across the country — family heirlooms, a dining set, an old loveseat for your son, the recent college graduate. Now, imagine when the guy driving the truck arrives, you provide fuzzy directions — a town, but no street address, your son's first name only, no deliver-by due date, no hint of how to get there. You slap him on the back on the way out the door, "You'll be great, buddy, just figure it out." Sheer madness, right? This is how people delegate tasks all the time.
By all measures, delegation is a challenging time management skill. People often lament — "by the time I explain it, I could just do it myself" or "every time I delegate something I have to re-do the work anyway." At the root of blurry direction are usually two feelings, either a belief that your guidance might cramp the other person's style; or worse, "I don't know what I want, but I know it when I see it" (fourteen words sure to make anyone with services-for-hire shudder).
Staying vague is costly — you waste bundles of money paying people who don't produce what you want or need, or redoing the work 10 times, as you change your mind. You also pay in gobs of time — taking over tasks that weren't on your to-do list, stealing focus and energy you can't afford.
Whether you're delegating at the office, bringing on a landscaper or hiring a photographer for your daughter's upcoming nuptials (as I am), click here for three ways to improve your "guiding" skills on the Beyond Today blog.

How can advisors gauge social media success?
By Maggie Crowley
Advisor Websites
The social media revolution is under way. Statistics show that half of the entire world uses social media, so you can bet that your target markets are already socially engaged.
From a business standpoint, social media can be defined as an interactive platform from which individuals and communities create and share user-generated content, a social software which mediates human communication.
In March of 2013, 30 percent of advisors reported that compliance is the biggest challenge with social media. Since the SEC's decision to open the door for advisors using social media, there's now few excuses for advisors to avoid the networking platforms. Still not convinced social media is right for you? This blog should be pretty convincing.
What should you measure in order to gauge your social media success? I'm glad you asked.
1. Traffic from social media
Begin by looking at which social media sites send the most traffic to your website. From this measurement, you can establish which social sites you should focus your time and resources on.
2. Social media engagement
Applying marketing analytics to your social media is crucial to help you prioritize where to allocate your time. One of the most revealing metrics is how engaged your audience is. Social media engagement indicates how receptive your audience is to the messages you share. This metric is also, arguably, the toughest to measure.
Using a tool like Hootsuite makes it easier, though. Hootsuite is a tool that allows advisors to streamline and automate social media messages. It's also free. Hootsuite offers free reports that measure engagement indicators like click-through rates and the number of comments and likes your posts receive.
3. Conversion rate
Take it one step further and analyze which social sites offer the highest lead-to-customer rate. Compare your closed-loop data with how engaged your followers are from each social media network.

MADISON - The Department of Justice has settled a lawsuit against Rush Well Drilling, LLC, of Black River Falls for violations of state laws regulating well drilling operations.
According to the complaint, filed at the request of the Department of Natural Resources, Rush improperly constructed two wells drilled in the Town of City Point, Jackson County, in March of 2007, including one on a private campground. Rush subsequently corrected the violations, and has agreed to pay penalties, fees, and costs totaling $8,000 for the violations.
"We will continue to work with the DNR to make sure that Wisconsin's environmental laws are followed," said Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
Assistant Attorney General Shari Eggleson prosecuted the case. The settlement was approved by Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Robert Radcliffe.

Today I couldn't face saying goodbye to my xtracycle. If I would have, I would have cried, in front of Terry & Ralph and maybe they would have thought me a fool, and I just couldn't face it. So I took an extra-hot shower while Ralph wiped the bike down and took it in to trade in at the bike shop. And now it's gone and I even walked in my garage thinking it was there, already, and felt a pang.
This bike was a big, big part of my life, and of the kids' life, for over five years. I could and did take my children everywhere on this bike (as well as lots of other kids and a few grown-ups!). I was biking the Hogachillun on it up until today. In fact, Phoenix – for the first time – rode with her brother on the back, just the other day. Fond memory: biking around Lake Quinault and SMOKING two city-cyclists with their fancy gear and fancier bikes – while going uphill, and while hauling my child (and that may have been how I ruined my knees! so: comeuppance).
I don't know if anyone reading understands, but in this moment it is difficult for me to move on after several years of packing the kids around, all marsupial-like.
Goodbye, X. You were an amazing family vehicle.
My new wheels:
The upgraydd is a Trek 520, with Ortleib roll-top pannier bags. Today, with the trade-in of my bike, we paid off the layaway. I took the new bike on a couple rides, about ten miles total. Just like my first day with the X, this bike felt new and strange. Very different stance, very different weight, handled differently. I did manage to carry books, my purse, a camera, and a potluck chile relleno. It made me feel like maybe I still had a cargo bike. Kinda.
X is awesome! Wow. What a bike, man. So you can put 2 kiddos on that?
Bye bye, X!
Dude! I am trying to buy one right now. LOL.
What an amazing bike (but then, so is the new one)! I never had a bike like your X, but the thing I miss most about Rowan's babyhood–by far–is toting him around in the sling. It was the best ever. I think I understand a little bit of your sadness at not physically carrying the kids around anymore in one form or another. Five years is a long run of great times on the bike!
