Now that Olympic champions, America's Cup winners and other world class talents have scuffled with the high-tech trials of San Francisco Bay, it's time for some seasoned competitors to show their flair at the 2012 18ft Skiff International Regatta.
2012 18ft Skiff International Regatta
This week the feisty 18ft Skiffs return with Nespresso coffee products as the title sponsor of their 11th annual International Regatta running through Saturday, hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club … which, by the way, has no direct involvement in the America's Cup other than a front-row location on the race course in an area where spectators can enjoy the show and the new sponsor's specialties.
Even the celebrated sailors from Ben Ainslie to Dean Barker to Russell Coutts, et al, who raced their AC45 trimarans in last week's opening event of the latest America's Cup World Series admitted they were on a steep learning curve.
Ainslie is now a quadruple gold medalist in the singlehanded Finn class, but he's learning a new game. He commented early on his daily blog, J.P.Morgan BAR, 'When the breeze is up, the pace is incredible. The whole way round the guys are working flat out just handling the boat. As the helmsman I'm the only one who really has any time to look around and make some decisions. It's certainly not like sailing my Finn where I can flick in a few quick tacks to get into a better position.'
The 18s fill the gap between the AC45s that concluded Sunday and St. Francis YC's annual blockbuster Big Boat Regatta starting next week. Tentatively, the 18s' first race is scheduled Monday, but that may be used as a practice day. Otherwise, they'd be rushed to unload their boats from containers arriving from Oakland Monday morning, assemble them on the Crissy Field launching area just west of StFYC and hit the start line hoping all the nuts and bolts are tight.
Instead, they may choose to just practice Monday and race on Thursday's scheduled lay day. They'll do two races daily for a total of 10, including the traditional 7 1/2-mile Ronstan Bridge to Bridge Race from the Golden Gate to the Oakland Bay late Friday afternoon.
A couple of the AC45 crews may hang around to learn something and, possibly, race in the Bridge to Bridge classic, which is open to kiteboarders, windsurfers and almost anything else that sails. After all, that's what the AC45s are: a crew trainer soon to be replaced by the AC72s that will compete for the Cup next year.
normal 18skiffs2011d1-08H~0 - 2012 18ft Skiffs International Regatta
Howard Hamlin thinks that might be a good idea. The Long Beach, Calif. veteran racer of high-tech skiffs and such holds world championships not only in the 18s (the JJ Giltinan classic) but International 14s and 505s, as well. He avows that there is no more challenging venue than The Bay.
'Besides the [wind] pressure and the shifts, we have the current,' Hamlin said.
The Bay's prevailing westerly wind generally builds through the afternoon from the mid-teens into the 20s and even the 30s, bringing a head-on collision with an outgoing ebb tide of 3-4 knots---the ugly afternoon forecast for this week. Let your bow down too much and you plow into a wave and … ask Coutts about his AC45's cartwheel on a practice romp this summer.
Nathan Outteridge, the Australian who just won Olympic gold on a similar 49er skiff, is now on Team Korea's AC45. He told Tom FitzGerald of the San Francisco Chronicle, 'I'd never sailed a boat in [winds] over 18 knots until I got here. We did 29 knots on the boat the other day.'
Most of the 18s are equipped with two masts: tall ones for normal conditions, short ones for abnormal blows. Most leave the tall ones at home when they come to San Francisco.
With boat speeds in the 20s, flood tides also are lethal, as witnessed last week when several AC45s, on a flying carpet of water and wind, rolled and flipped down the course like tumbleweeds.
normal 18skiffs2011d5-02H~0 - 2012 18ft Skiffs International Regatta
The variable tidal flows and currents on the sides of the course also make gauging laylines to the marks tricky upwind and downwind, so Hamlin says the best bet is just 'to get your boat handling down because there are going to be lots of tight situations.'
Otherwise, the AC45s have a couple of close connections to the 18s. AC World Series Regatta Director Iain Murray, a native of Australia, was a pioneer in the class, while Mike Martin, the director of umpiring and rules administration, crewed for Hamlin, a fellow Southern Californian, on the first four of Hamlin's six 18ft Skiff International victories, along with his JJ Giltinan titles that are recognized as the class's world championship.
Maybe they'd like to crew for someone this week, just for fun.

1998 GMC Safari • 6 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 180,000 miles
I am driving a 1998 gmc safari, Why do my oil connections at the rad, keep blowing off even after being replaced 2 times? And why does my van not start after a rain, or if it is damp out, some times it will start, other times it won't?
February 10, 2011.
February 10, 2011.
If the coolerlines blow off after repair, check for an oring missing and make sure the clips are in with the retainers around the clips. If you are having a problem starting when wet/damp then try replacing the dist cap as they will do that. You might also try a new plug wire set as well.
All fittings have been replaced, two months ago and we are back to the same issue, prior to replaing the fittings, connections and rings, this happend twice in one week, oil pressure is about 200 on gm dash gage, has sat at that number for about 2 years prior to this all happening, yesterday before this happend the number was at about 200, I have been able to tow traialers steady without issue, when not pulling a trailer this happens, have had the van sense 84000. Klm, now sits at 180000. Klm
Feb 10, 2011.
Feb 10, 2011.
You may not have the right clips to hold it in. Bu tthere should be a clip that goes into the slot when the lines are all the way in. Then there should be a plastic retainer that pushes on the fitting to hold the clip in place. Not seeing what is going on I am really trying to walk you through the thing. The cooler line may be worn or the slot inthe rad clip line may be worn as well. If it continues to do this then I would relace the lines and fittings in the radiators. I have enclosed a picture.
Replaced heads on 4.7 and found lots of sludge on heads. Once completed and truck runs good but after it heats up the oil pressure drops off to 0. What could be the problem?

PJ Wiggins Memorial Night Two
Our very own Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds put on a 40-lapper in honor of the fallen PJ Wiggins. Alongside them were the Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, Hobby Stocks, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and the Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks.
The first order of business was our Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models 20 lap feature. A few cautions slowed action early on but Forrest Gough was fast enough to lead Carter Stokes and JO Nobles with 18 to go. Under a lap 3 caution Carter Stokes' right rear went flat dropping him outside of the top 5, an unfortunate circumstance for driver #33. On lap 5 David Showers had troubles which cost him a top 3 spot and he would retire from the race moments later. David Ponder climbed the back stretch wall on lap 7 which brought the caution out again; fortunately Ponder was okay after his wild ride. Under caution Forrest Gough broke the rear-end in a heartbreaker for the driver who has had more bad luck than any one else in recent memory. Nobles, Waylon Haynes, and Christian McGillivray were the top 3. The last 7 laps went green with Nobles the winner over Haynes. Christian McGillivray finished a solid 3rd while David Showers, Jr. and Ricky Land completed the top 5.
Second up were our Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks with a tough task to follow. Jesse Foster would lead early on from outside pole before Buddy Pope spun in turn 2 on lap 1. Travis Staats stole the lead on the restart and began to pull away until Reid Christensen spun on lap 5. With 10 to go it was Travis up front with Nick Kerr and Charlie Staats the top 3. With 3 to go Reid Christensen spun while Joel Price did the same elsewhere- up front it was still Travis and Kerr but Buddy Pope was now 3rd. Travis Staats took #2 of the year with Nick Kerr, Jesse Foster, Buddy Pope, and Charlie Staats the top 5.
A 40-lapper was the PJ Wiggins Memorial for the Scorpion Racing Products Modifieds with honorary starters Kyle and Autumn Wiggins, the children of PJ Wiggins. Wayne Hammond's race didn't even get to start as he broke the right-front suspension on the back stretch immediately after the green flag fell. On lap 8 Garret Stewart spun from a solid top 10 spot while Kyle Bronson, Jeff Mathews, and Rich Pratt led the way with 32 to go. As the race progressed, David Reutimann climbed into 3rd and stalked Bronson and Mathews from a comfortable spot. On lap 19 Jeff Mathews slowed costing him the 2nd spot as he had a right rear flat and more as he retired from the race because of it. On lap 28 Tim Powers had a tire go flat which would put the Reutimanns (David over Buzzie) right on Bronson's tail on a restart. With just 2 to go Bubba Christian broke while in 8th before 10th place Jason Intoppa ran into him at nearly full throttle- both were okay. Adding to the story was that Kyle Bronson was involved but it appeared the 40B had no damage. Bronson held on over the last 2 with David and Buzzie Reutimann 2-3, respectively. Devin Dixon and Rich Pratt completed the top 5.
Hobby Stocks set a beautiful pace but Trevor Gamble didn't allow any one else to set it as he dominated en route to a victory- his first since May! Rodney Wright had a dismal night as Gamble led Kevin Durden, Tim Powers, Mike Stalnaker, and Brian Hansford across the stripe.
The 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks completed the night with an intense 15-lapper. Melvin Fockler spun on lap 1 while Brian Mullins led the first few laps. Shane Nichols passed Mullins around the half-way mark before a few late race cautions bunched the field up. Nichols held on with a gaggle of cars fighting for 2nd. The official top-5 order was Nichols, William Gillam, Jonathan Appleby, Mullins, and James Sullivan, III.
Next week we have the RaceCar Engineering Late Models, Buddy's Home Furnishings Limited Late Models, 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, and Barfield Law Group Mini Stocks. In addition to them is a figure-8 race and Rent-N-Roll will give away 2 (two) $500 gift certificates away. For more information you can go to

Colin McRae DiRT 2 PC Game
Colin McRae DiRT 2
Colin McRae DiRT 2 the Colin McRae series has long been considered king of rally racers. With Dirt 2, Codemasters pays fitting homage to the late McRae while trying to appeal to a larger audience. The result is a gorgeous racing game with some satisfying rally sections and a whole lot of wheel-to-wheel racing. While hardcore rally fans may be a bit bummed to find pure rally racing makes up only a fifth of the Career Mode, those who just want a good racing game will be happy.
Colin McRae DiRT 2
The original Dirt, released in 2007, has one of the best menu designs of all time. It's truly a stunning piece of art, just on the frontend alone. Dirt 2 has an equally impressive interface that puts you into a RV that you (somehow) drive across the world. Everything you could want is in and around this trailer — from a world map used to select from 100 different racing events to the multiplayer board on the wall to a TV that shows off instructional videos. Step outside your trailer and you get a look at the festival-like surroundings for each locale and can buy and customize new cars or see the latest tournament results. It's an immersive experience and is in many ways better than the first Dirt.
Colin McRae DiRT 2
The core of Dirt 2 is the Career Mode, which starts you as an up-and-coming racer and builds you into a champion. Each race earns you experience points, which in turn increases your driver's level. Through Level 30 you gain new liveries, unlock new races and earn some lovely parting gifts. These include dashboard items such as a hula girl and fuzzy dice to hang from your rearview mirror. Xbox 360 owners get a special bonus of unlocking their Avatar to dangle from their interior. Rewards are always welcome and Dirt 2 makes certain to spoil you early and often.
Though you can choose from six different difficulties, they don't affect your progression (though you earn a little less cash and experience at lower levels). No matter your skill level, you can make it up the ranks, starting with Amateur events, moving up through the Pro offerings and finishing off with some challenging All-Star races. The 100 events are locked based on experience level, cars owned, or specific races you need to win. Along the way, you'll unlock a series of special races. First, there are a trio of X-Games (Asia, Europe, and North America) to open up and then five World Cup tournaments, each in a different discipline. There's also a special Colin McRae tribute event, which is a very loving touch from a team that had worked with McRae for years.
Colin McRae DiRT 2
One of the best aspects of Dirt 2 is the variety of locales. Rally racing games can start to feel a little redundant with endless desert terrain. Okay, so Dirt 2 has a lot of off-road tracks, but the unique locales are really brought to life — the small villages of Morocco with their narrow streets, the marshes of Malaysia, the serene hillsides of China.
Colin McRae DiRT 2
The rally cars have weight to them and give that sense that you're driving along the edge of losing control. Rookies will struggle as they fail to understand the benefits of braking and pros will be tested at the higher levels by near-flawless AI competitors. The trucks and buggies don't measure up in the same way. They're easy to lose control of, especially with the generous bump of a competitor. This creates a curious dichotomy as any events featuring rally cars (including wheel-to-wheel Rally Cross races) seems to have an element of technical finesse while the bigger vehicles offer more of an arcade style.
Colin McRae DiRT 2
For the most part, Career Mode is well-executed, offering the right balance of challenge and a good variety in locations and tracks. But I must admit that I am one of the previously mentioned rally fans who expects a rally game to have, well, rally racing. Sadly, only about 20% of the events in Dirt 2 are pure time-trial rally races. There are a few other time-based races including Trailblazer (rally races without a co-driver) and Gate Crasher (hit gates to add time to your run) that use elements of rally, but if you just want pure rally racing, it's in short supply. There are no hill climb events either, though there is a track in China called "Hill Climb" that amounts to a half-minute of speeding up a twisting hillside. I'd like my rally games to be two-thirds rally racing and other stuff thrown in for fun, not the other way around.

Hi ladies, i am a ftm, kinda clueless, so please help and thank you very much in advance!!
Lo just turned 18 months today, she goes to daycare and just moved to a classroom where they have potty. She can speak clearly. I want to potty train her next month during July 4th week when she has a week off daycare. because #1 she is very interested in potty. She loves to go to bathroom with me and watches what I do. I am afraid if I waited too long, I will miss the opportunity. #2, she has showed a lot of signs of being ready to train, stayed dry for over 3 hours, hides when she poops, follows instructions really well. #3, we are going to china to visit my family on nov, I want her to be fully trained by then, well at least day time.
So here are the things I am doing to prepare her: let her sit on the potty whenever she wants to. Let her watch us go. I taught her today what is wet and dry. And bought a few potty books will arrive next week. We will work on taking pants off and putting them on next. Here are my questions.
What else should I be doing to prepare her?
I choose to do the 3 days potty training method, how do you keep your active toddler busy for 3 days indoor?
Is it possible to be accident free after a week? I spoke to her teacher briefly about potty training her, she said lo needs to wear pull ups, but I really don't want to put pull ups on her if she has minimum accident.
How long does it take for them to be able to tell you that they need to go?
Will 4 months enough time for her to be able to take a long trip (25 hours door to door) ? My concern is even tho bathroom is available at the airport and plane, but there is always lines, or if we are in the middle of security or car ride (longest will be about 1 hour) and she needs to go, will she be able to hold it like us? I will try to take her to bathrooms before, but things can't always go smoothly. Just wanted to see if we should train her after the trip, but that's another 6 months or so and I really don't want to drag the diapers around!
Also any tips on the 3 days training is greatly appreciated!
Training almost 19 month girl diary
Hi ladies, i am a ftm, kinda clueless, so please help and thank you very much in advance!!
At your daughter's age, yes it is possible she will be accident free by the end of a week. In addition to what you are currently doing to prepare her, I would get her used to sitting on the potty bare, and at times she will always be expected to go, like right before/after bed times and before leaving the house. With my method she will be telling you she needs to go from the start. If the day care requires pull ups, ask about using cloth. This way they feel wet, but prevent the leak at day care. There are several brands listed in the sticky under Amar's message, or I make them. Gerber training pants are just several layers of cotton and do nothing to stop a full release.
As for your trip in 4 months. I think you are right not to wait to potty train. But she might not be 100 percent accident free in four months. Just be sure to pack many extra changes in your carry on. Take her for potty breaks before entering the security lines and before required seat belt times. Every child is different for how long they can go between trips, at 18 months, my son could hold it regularly for 3 hours. By the time you go on your trip, she will be 22 months old, and much more capable of holding it. On your actual travel days, just give her regular potty opportunities. Every 2 hours or so (you'll be able to judge exactly how long after you get into training her) tell her that it's a good time to go potty. Ask her if she would like to go. If the answer is no, just remind her to tell you if she needs to go. Or tell her you have to go and then just take her with you. Chances are she will go as well. Give lots of potty experience outside of the home. Take her many places and get her use to toilets and public restrooms.
For activities during the initial potty training 3 or so days, there are many things you can do together. I plan my kids activities on the hard wood floors so that it's easier to clean up. (You can use your kitchen) I tape (painters or masking tape) a path on the floor, then I put a bucket of toys at one end, and something at the other end to put the toys on. Then we make it a game to pick up a toy, walk along the path and put the toy at the other end, then walk (practice balance) back for the next toy. Magnets and the fridge work well for this game. Tape a start and finish line and have races. Make them silly, like hop, crawl, spin, jump, run, walk backwards from start to finish. Play red light green light. Break out the play dough. Watch a movie together. Do puzzles. Bring in a box of toys and let her take the initiative and pretend you are her age and play with her. Read books. Make cookies. Mix food coloring in water and show the different colors. Color with crayons and coloring books. Make a fort with blankets and chairs. There are many things to do.
Read the sticky, and my post on my blog about potty training myths is good to read as well. It answers many questions. Mamablogger's website is very informative and helpful as well. Good luck!
Check out my blog! www.SAHMto4boysplus.blogspot.com
I LOVE the activies you suggested! i will speak to the daycare again about letting her wear undie see if they will let her.
Thanks again! I will post our progress and I am sure I will have tons of questions when it comes and need your help again.
Just remember it's all about your attitude. If you have a deadline you want her done by, there will probably be more frustration. But if you realize that every child is different and develops at different rates and just follow their progress and continue to be consistent, you will be successful. That is why I don't condone the three day method, it leads to frustration and the feeling of a failure.

Sophia is almost 19 month. Today is Day 1: drank 2 cups of milk between 640 to 830, no pee at all! I am shock how she can hold it so long! Starting around 830, seems like she peed 20 times till noon. Mostly small releases. Caught half in the potty twice, and one bigger one when she was sitting on it watching Elmo. She pooped once this morning, We caught most of the poop in the potty. Before she pooped, she was grabbing her butt and clingy and told me she had to poop, but she didn't poop when i sat her on the potty. I saw it coming out and rushed her to the potty, and finished there.
She started to yell and freaks out when she had to pee but arched her back when I put her on the potty. We haven't caught a drop on the second half of the morning. She has no problem sitting on her potty. In fact she spent most morning on her potty watching Elmo. But as soon as she had to pee, she freaked out and stood up. Even when she was not on the potty, she was freaking out about peeing. I am going to take that as a good sign that she is noticing what her body is doing with bear bum. As soon as I put her diaper on for nap and she did a big release quietly. Strange how bare bum is a total different feeling for her.
She took 3 hours nap. Woke up dry and didn't pee till 30 min later. Again lots small release and freaked out when she peed. We caught half of the last two pee and she seemed to be more comfortable peeing on the potty now.
I asked her where pee and poop go, she answered potty. She told us pee a few times but usually was too late. I didn't let her clean up as we have marble and wood floor, and she was falling all over the place when it's wet. I did tell her it's messy next time she needs to pee in the potty.
Now I have a few questions:
#1. How do you do rewards? I think Sophia is too young to understand the connection. I gave her some raisin and told her it's because she initiated, or she peed in the potty. Then she wanted more, and more and more! And if I stop giving her, she started to cry, so it turned into a punishment rather than a reward. So I stopped rewarding her. Only praise.
#2. She loves to watch Elmo and I let her sit on her potty to watch if she started to show signs she needs to go (grabbing her butt or started to freak out) or when she first woke up. But she would beg to watch longer and longer. So sometimes she sits there for like 15 min without result. Did I let her sit too long? I tried to redirect her to play, but she would pee a few min later on the floor.
#3. How do you teach them to say when they have to go? I taught her to say hurry hurry! Potty potty! But she would only initiate by being clingy and wants me to hold her…I figured that one out after got peed on a few times.
Potty training is no picnic! But I think we are making progress. Tomorrow is another day! I keep telling myself this needs to be done, sooner or later is still hard work, if not harder.
She hasn't pooped yet today and only had one yesterday. She usually poops two to three times a day.
she didn't pee every 5 min with small releases like yesterday, instead she only had 4 full releases this morning. I am hoping she is learning to release fully. She is also doing better to finish on the potty, doesn't freak out when she pees. I am taking these as progress to keep training going. Sigh. We are getting bored staying inside since yesterday lol.
Questions for today:
I found her Virginia is a little red inside, wonder if this is from being bare bum, if any one else experienced this. I will call her pedi tomorrow as well.
Now I feel like I have to put undie on her tomorrow to protect her bottom, but I don't think if she is getting it yet. I guess we will just have to deal w wet undies really not that big of a deal if undies don't delay the training.
I am hoping there will be some sort of improvement this afternoon!! It just doesn't seem like she is getting it at all. It's been raining last few days and we haven't been outside the house, I am going crazy trying to entertain her.
And by the way, dr office told me not to worry about the rash, gave her oatmeal bath and changed diaper cream for bed, hope tomorrow will get better, if not she said in 3 days, we need to go check it out.
Lotion for poop.
Glad it's going so well! 3 days worked for dd as well.

Steven Brigham, founder the homeless encampment in Lakewood is pictured in this October file photo. Brigham is charged with witness tampering and he says he is not guilty.
- Filed Under
With nighttime temperatures predicted to drop to near 20 degrees this weekend, township police said they will start giving tickets to anyone using an open fire outside for warmth come Monday.
The township ordinance that bans burning wood outdoors will affect the 80 to 100 people living at a homeless encampment off Cedar Bridge Avenue known as Tent City.
Police have been giving warnings so far and making the campers douse their fires. But come Monday, police will issue a ticket and a fine, authorities said. On Wednesday, it was unclear how much the fines will be. ...

Canon 17-55 or Sigma 17-50, What do YOU think?
Apr 24, 2011
I have done lots of reading on lenses, and there isn't too many people debating on the sigma vs. canon 17mm-50's it only seems to be tamron vs. sigma with what many people are talking about.
So here is my case, I just bought a 7d and need a lens. I want either a Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 or a Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 OS. Because of my purchase for the 7d, I will be getting a 15% off coupon so I can get a refurb lens for $800.
So... is the Canon 17-55mm REALLY that much better than the Sigma 17-50mm...
it seems like they are very similar, the Sigma is really good quality and comes with a free hood and a cleaning kit and is a noticable $130 less
get the Sigma 17 - 50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM - $670
or the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM- $800

A big underwear fan from way back
For most young boys, girlie magazines are high on the forbidden list, right up there with playing in old buildings, setting the neighbor's yard on fire and feeding your little brother paint thinner. They're uniformly frowned upon by parents and, in the latter case, little brothers.
We know from an early age that Playboy and Penthouse exist, but it's awfully hard to dig one out of your dad's stash given the implied consequences, which are somewhere between a righteous butt-whipping and God sending you straight to hell without your King Dons.
Until that time when sufficient desperation sets in and you're willing to risk all, even damnation, just to finally see at least one naked lady, the best options are every boy's best friend: the lingerie sections of the Sears and JCPenney catalogs. Oh, yeah, mom, I want to look at, uh, G.I. Joes. In my room. With the door closed.
And this seminal, universal introduction to the wonders of the female form is why the video for Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" is so sexy. Pouty model Helena Christensen spends the entire video in either a lacy bra and panty set or a pair of white panties that would look matronly if they weren't on Helena Christensen. She's a lingerie ad come to spectacular life.
The cleverly hidden nudity is all well and good, but it's the classic girl-in-underwear gambit that paid off so well. Director Herb Ritts, who had spent years photographing women in underwear or less, zeroes in on sure crowd-pleasers like Christensen's two-handed shove and lift at the 1:57 mark if memory serves and the timeless arms folded over naked breasts with panties (also a Gauguin, I believe).
Would the video have been as good without the music? Of course not. It's a sexy, beautiful song with a vocal that would make Roy Orbison blush. But does the song resonate through every man's life, back to that moment when shopping took on a whole new meaning? Not even close.
For whom the song remains the thing
From its initial bent notes in the key of B minor falling from the clouds and blending into the visage of seemingly bored model Helena Christensen, Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," from the 1989 album "Heart-Shaped World," is a masterpiece of aching desire and studied indifference.
While the video is undeniably effective at attracting the viewer (fashion photographer Herb Ritts rightly kept it simple, and the black-and-white videography gives it a wistfulness that complements the song), it's the presentation of the song that keeps matters almost-grieving.
You see, in earlier times, B minor was regarded as the key of passive suffering. Musicologists tell us that B minor, as a key, expresses quiet acceptance of fate and cite Bach's "St. John's Passion" as an example. A more modern-day comparison might be the initial note of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb."
And the structure of "Wicked Game" a series of descending intervals of tones followed by punctuating semitones recalls The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" or the Doors' "The End." In other words, we're almost programmed to recognize and relate as soon as we hear the progression.
It's the melancholy of the song to which we're atttracted, not the video. It's why Isaak's "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing" (from 1995's "Forever Blue"), which was made into a music video by Ritts and starred Isaak and model Laetitia Casta, wasn't even close to being as compelling as "Wicked Game."

Microsoft closing sports video-game studio in Redmond
- REDMOND, Wash. - Microsoft is closing its sports video-game studio in Redmond and laying off 76 employees.
The cut is the division's largest single layoff since Microsoft launched Xbox in 2001, although the company has cut hundreds of games jobs over the past year.
A Microsoft spokeswoman says the company no longer has to make as many Xbox games, because third-party developers are filling the pipeline with an abundance of games.
Microsoft's game-development group started out making games for PCs.
The division grew from 350 employees to a peak of 1,200 after the Xbox was launched. The group was down to 1,000 before the layoffs.

Possible meteor streaks across Midwestern skies
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's…something really, really bright.
The National Weather Service in Milwaukee said they received numerous reports of a bright fireball that lit up the skies across the southern half of Wisconsin Wednesday night just after 10 p.m. Central Time.
National Weather Service offices in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Davenport and Des
Moines, Iowa, and St. Louis and Kansas City in Missouri all received numerous reports of a fireball from law enforcement officials and the public around the same time as the reports in the Milwaukee area.
The agency says while no official determination has been made of what caused the fireball, whether it might be space debris, a meteor, etc, there is a meteor shower currently occurring called the Gamma Virginids. It began April 4 and is expected to last through April 21 with the peak activity Wednesday and Thursday.
A large meteorite could have caused the brilliant fireball that has been reported.
Here is a link to see a rough animation from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Emerging stocks hit 1-week highComment on this story
London - Emerging stocks hit one-week highs and most emerging European currencies rallied on Wednesday as investors became less anxious about global currency wars, and Hungary's assets gained after the country issued bumper-sized dollar bonds.
Investors have worried that emerging economies will suffer as developed markets, most recently Japan, race to weaken their currencies to encourage exports.
G20 finance ministers and central bankers meet in Moscow on Friday and Saturday.
The yen rose, however, after a G7 official said late on Tuesday the group's statement earlier that day was meant to signal concerns about excessive yen moves.
Rising inflation in countries like Russia and Turkey may also affect policymakers' views on currencies, said Carlin Doyle, emerging markets strategist at State Street.
"I wonder if the G20 will quietly drop the issue of currency wars because a lot of central banks realize that inflation is beginning to pick up and strong currencies are actually doing their work to combat that," he said.
The MSCI emerging equities index rose half a percent to a one-week high, recovering from recent four-week lows. China, the largest component of the index, was shut for New Year holidays.
Hungarian stocks hit one-week highs and the Hungarian forint hit one-month highs after Hungary issued five- and 10-year dollar bonds totalling $3.25 billion on Tuesday, which the country's debt agency said were nearly four times oversubscribed.
Hungary is seeking to borrow a total of 4 to 5 billion euros on international markets this year to refinance maturing debt.
Central Europe's most indebted nation is without a financing backstop after loan talks with the International Monetary Fund and European Union collapsed last year.
Romania is also holding an investor roadshow this week, and one fund manager said a $1-1.5 billion 10-year bond could follow, while a Belarus roadshow last week is likely to result in a $1 billion bond with maturity of 5-7 years, according to another fund manager.
The Egyptian pound fell to fresh record lows after ratings agency Moody's cut the country's credit rating to B3 with negative outlook on Tuesday, citing doubts about Egypt's ability to secure IMF support and the economic impact of a new round of political unrest. - Reuters

Alternate title: Die Mommie Die
This candy-hued camp comedy presents the latest variation of the playwright and drag performer Charles Busch's long-running and very funny alter ego, a swiveling red-headed diva whose exaggerated graciousness and noblesse oblige embody the ne plus ultra of Great Hollywood Ladies. Mr. Busch's character, Angela Arden, is a semi-retired pop singer, once known as "America's Nightingale," who suggests a hybrid of Joan Crawford, Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Fontaine. The absurdist movie, which is all plot and no plot at the same time, is a broad spoof of so-called women's pictures from the 1940's through the 60's. Elements of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?," "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," "Valley of the Dolls," "Sunset Boulevard," "Portrait in Black" and even "The Little Foxes" are swirled together along with vintage good-twin, bad-twin Hollywood melodramas. The story, set in 1967, even tosses in an LSD trip. — Stephen Holden

Water: Liquid Assets
Liquid Assets 2000: Federal Tools in Action
The Clean Water Act provides many tools to gain clean water. One tool--the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program--has become increasingly important over the last decade. Under the TMDL program, states, territories, and authorized tribes identify their polluted waters, submit a list of these waters to EPA, and work with citizens to set priorities for restoring them to health. State agencies then work with landowners, private companies, and other local stakeholders to develop cleanup plans for these polluted waters. These plans set "pollution budgets" that show how much pollution a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. EPA is working to strengthen existing cleanup efforts by promoting more focused, collaborative efforts at the state, tribal, and local level to identify and clean up polluted waterbodies.
"It is critical that we, as a nation, rededicate ourselves to attaining the Clean Water Act goals that have inspired us for the past 25 years. The TMDL regulations we have proposed draw on the core authorities of the Clean Water Act and refine and strengthen the existing program for identifying and restoring polluted waters. They provide a map that will support us in our effort to fulfill the original promise of the Clean Water Act."
--Carol Browner, EPA Administrator
Clean Water Act Programs at Work
The Clean Water Action Plan
In 1998, President Clinton and Vice President Gore released the Clean Water Action Plan (http://www.epa.gov/history/topics/cwa/03.htm), a comprehensive strategy designed to help protect and restore the nation's water resources using a watershed framework. The plan's 111 key actions focus on achieving cleaner water by strengthening public health protection, targeting high-priority areas, and providing communities with new resources to control polluted runoff and enhance natural resource stewardship. More than one-third of the 111 actions, including new curbs on urban runoff, unified watershed assessments, and a beach action plan, are complete.
Under the Action Plan, many states, tribes, and local organizations are working on watershed restoration action strategies based on new assessments or existing watershed, ecosystem, conservation, or other integrated plans. Work has begun in many watersheds identified as top priorities. Already, more than 300 watershed restoration action strategies are guiding the design and implementation of projects that stem various sources of pollution. Although it will take several years to complete action strategies for all high-priority watersheds, states, territories, and tribes are currently using their watershed restoration action strategies to coordinate their programs and plan for future restoration activities. Together, federal, state, and local governments, tribes, the private sector, and communities are working toward healthy watersheds for our future.
The Safe Drinking Water Act--Protecting Public Health
Tough Federal Standards--EPA has set national enforceable health standards for 90 contaminants. New standards are set for contaminants of greatest risk, providing cost-effective, strong public health protection.
Source Water Protection Programs--States are examining all sources of drinking water sources to identify contaminant threats and determine susceptibility to contamination, allowing water suppliers, local governments, and citizens to design source water protection measures.
Public Health Information--Water systems around the country must provide 250 million Americans with annual reports about where their water comes from, what is in it, and how to protect it. Consumers are also notified when there is a situation posing an immediate threat to public health.
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund--This federal-state partnership provides low-cost financing to water systems to upgrade their facilities and for source water protection activities to ensure compliance with drinking water standards.

firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com
As the United States higher education system changes, UK moves forward with plans to accommodate a new normal.
President Eli Capilouto and Provost Christine Riordan sat down with the Kernel's editorial board on Tuesday and discussed how the university plans to improve the university in upcoming years.
Among the initiatives, the two officials said tighter campus security and living-learning programs are ways they hope to accommodate students and improve retention rates.
The university has put nearly $5 million into campus security this year, including new identification cards.
The new IDs are currently used as room keys for residents of Central Hall. They will serve the same functions for residents of the other dorms being built and will also function as a key for students to access classroom buildings after 5 p.m.
The ID contains a proximity chip, which will unlock the door without requiring students to swipe the card.
Though a database managed by the UK Police Department will record who enters what building and when, Capilouto and Riordan said they do not think students need to worry about this database.
"We do not have goals to snoop or be intrusive," Capilouto said.
In addition to campus security, Riordan said more living-learning programs, like the ones in Keeneland and Patterson Halls, will also help increase retention rates by integrating new students into the academic environment.
Other plans for academic retention include a team that will research why UK's retention rates are so low. For example, about two-thirds of the Class of 2013 are still enrolled at UK, according to the Office of Institutional Research.
Capilouto said the university has a system to check on students who drop out or transfer, but finds they often don't want to share for personal reasons.
"It's a tough thing to track," he said. "We are blocking and tackling for retention."
Federal funding
Capilouto and Riordan said they are finding alternative sources for funding in a time when state appropriations for higher education are shrinking.
Recently, President Barack Obama spoke about a plan to match university success with federal funding.
Capilouto said he thinks Obama's plan is too simple because the value of an education isn't always measurable.
"We can't be so simplistic to just be measuring wages" for federal funds, he said. For example, a student may graduate with a lot of debt, but because of the value of the education, they are able to pay it off and be better prepared for the workforce.
Capilouto said Obama's plan might not measure success accurately in comparison with other universities.
Alcohol policy
The administration is also looking to review policies already in place.
A committee of about 15 people, including Student Government President Roshan Palli and UK Police Chief Joe Monroe, is working to determine the alcohol policy on campus.
Both Capilouto and Riordan said changing the alcohol policy would affect many different groups on campus such as the Resident Life staff, UK Police and off-campus homeowners.
"We want to be certain not to … jump to conclusions," Capilouto said.
Capilouto said he is hoping to hear from the committee by the end of the semester.

eggs yolks contain most of the vitamins that come from an egg...so instead of all egg whites add a yolk or 2 and get some of those vitamins!
Leftover Egg Yolks - home made protein treatment and anti aging face pack
If you're like me and not supposed to eat the egg yolk (but love eggs), use a turkey baster. Take the rubber portion off, squeeze it, hold it over the yolk, and then stop squeezing. The suction will force the yolk (and only the yolk) into the handle. Voilà! Egg whites! :)
This oil, vinegar and egg yolk mixture is a fluffy mass of fat and calories. Use mustard instead

Northern Lights from West Seattle: Aurora visible on AlkiOctober 8, 2012 at 10:40 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle weather | 22 Comments
(Click photo to see larger image – note the Big Dipper!)
10:40 PM: WSB contributing photojournalist Nick Adams got that view of the Northern Lights off Alki a short time ago. We had heard about the Capitol Hill sighting early today – our friends at CapitolHillSeattle.com published photos – then local meteorologist Patrick Kelly tweeted that they were likely visible tonight … and here's what Nick saw. (Here's what he used to track it.)
11:56 PM: Went out to see just how visible it was. From Alki's west end, parallel with 63rd, very faint. Beautiful sky show overall, though, so many stars (and planets) visible. Here's more info from space.com.
22 Comments
So beautiful! what time was the picture taken?

That's an incredible picture!! Thanks for sharing it.

Aurora and the Big Dipper, amazing and beautiful!
Comment by seewhatsealionsstart — 12:10 am October 9, 2012 #
I woke up my daughter an hour ago, headed down to Alki. Considering we were viewing across Eliott Bay the Aurora was impressive – a somewhat faint, pronounced green band arching across the sky with verticle streaks…a beautiful sight.
Comment by chris — 12:16 am October 9, 2012 #
Awesome. I walked around for a bit and didn't see anything but hopefully if theyre back later someone else gets more pictures
Comment by Patrick Elliott — 12:18 am October 9, 2012 #
I'm guessing that pic was a long exposure, it's not likely we'll ever have northern lights that visible here…
Comment by alex — 8:48 am October 9, 2012 #
Patrick, I honestly couldn't see much of anything with my naked eye. It wasn't until my husband took that photo that you could see just how green it really was out there.
Comment by Joan — 9:30 am October 9, 2012 #
Long exposure would have blurred the stars in the shot (the relative motion would have shown visible movement in anything over a second or so.) More likely this is an HDR composite, which a lot of digital cameras can do automatically now. Nick – care to share?
Comment by MAS — 9:51 am October 9, 2012 #
Now I wont have to spend all that money to go to Iceland. :)
Comment by M. — 10:09 am October 9, 2012 #
I also went down to Alki, nr the Alki Tavern around midnight. Did my best to remove light behind me and in front of me. Thought I might have seen a slight bit of green but not sure. Should have taken the ferry West to see it better. Still cool that we have the Northern lights down here!
Comment by JonF — 10:11 am October 9, 2012 #
Thanks, WSB! Husband and I jumped off the couch (half-asleep) at 11:45 and headed toward Alki. Did see several instances of faint vertical bands — my first time seeing the northern lights and something I've wanted to see my entire life.
Can't say last night's modest display was enough to scratch it off the list, but I was still pretty excited about it.
Comment by photon — 11:58 am October 9, 2012 #
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for looking!
The photo is straight from the camera. I've never done any HDR type of photos. I photographed it with my Canon 5D Mark II with ISO at 1250 and aperture at 1.4 and a shutter of 1.6 seconds. I was going to open it up for a longer exposer but the tripod was somewhere deep in my trunk.
Comment by Nick Adams — 12:05 pm October 9, 2012 #
Thanks, Nick, for sharing your work and how you did it:)
Your photography is a treat for the eyes.
Great work, Nick!
Comment by Chris W. — 12:32 pm October 9, 2012 #
Would you be willing to share the original? I would love to use this as my background if I could get a large enough resolution.
Comment by KC — 12:35 pm October 9, 2012 #
Great picture Nick – I sat straight up in bed and sat at my window for 20 minutes hoping to see something (which I unfortunately didn't).
Also love your picture of the whale with the sunset!
Comment by EmmyJane — 1:01 pm October 9, 2012 #
I'm glad you like them! Here is a link to scenic images that can be viewed or purchased.

When's the next time? Had no idea these were 'visible' from down here
Comment by junctioneer — 10:01 pm October 9, 2012 #
Unpredictable, unfortunately … http://spaceweather.com/
I am soooooooooooooooooo going to try to see these tonight. I have never ever seen them. Always miss out. Hope they are visible tonight.
Comment by ~~HockeyWitch~~ — 10:18 pm October 9, 2012 #
We will likely see these more in the future as the sun's energy peaks and over the next 4-5 years..

Military personnel at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam captured a small snake Thursday afternoon in a maintenance bay near the airfield and turned it over to the state Department of Agriculture.
The foot-long snake was identified as a juvenile ornate tree snake, a Department of Agriculture spokeswoman said.
Ornate tree snakes are mildly venomous and are related to the brown tree snake, which has devastated the ecosystem in Guam. They are also known as ornate flying tree snakes for their ability to spring from tree to tree.
Air Force personnel are continuing search the area where the snake was found.

Breadcrumbs coming to AdWords Ads
Breadcrumb navigation for websites has been around for years to help users easily navigate and keep track of where they are on a particular section of the site. This feature can aid in:
- Increased usability
- Better user experience
- Increase conversion
With this in mind it makes sense for Google to integrate something similar into their AdWords ad format – which they now seem to be doing in beta as first reported here by periscopix. This new ad element has not been formally announced however, with Search Engine Land mentioning they had requested, but not received a response from Google as yet.
What do they look like?
In the image below it seems as though this feature will be following the traditional breadcrumb style
Breadcrumbs in AdWords explained
Google notes: "For some advertisers, we'll automatically add breadcrumbs to ads that appear at the top or bottom of Google search results, helping to make your ads more relevant to customers. Customers can click an individual breadcrumb link to quickly navigate to the page or section of your website that they find relevant." Read more about AdWords Breadcrumbs from Google.
Google makes no mention of criteria needed to have the feature displayed; however, I'm certain that factors such as Quality Score will come into play just as they do with AdWords Ad Extension such as, Site Links and Location Extensions.
The cost of a click on a breadcrumb link will be the same as a click on the headline of the ad and I gather will be charged depending on the pricing model you have selected for that campaign (CPC, CPA, etc.)
To view the performance of the ad you will need to go into the ads sections of your campaign and do the following:
- Select a desired date range
- Click on the "Segment' tab below the "Ads" tab
- Click on "Click type"
This will show you what part of the ad generated the click.
How to get it in your ads
Google has a history of testing features like this in the UK or US for months or sometimes even years before they are rolled out in Australia. However, if you advertise in one of these countries or just want to prepare yourself for the feature when/if it comes to Australia then you will need to make sure you have breadcrumbs enabled on the landing page the ad is linked to.
If you already have breadcrumbs enabled on your site then you're already ready for this feature when it fully available in AdWords. If you do not have breabcrumbs enabled you can view this article on rich snippets, which shows you what to do to get your site ready.
This is yet another move by Google to make AdWords ads look more like the organic results which means more revenue for them and less free clicks from your organic results. The upside is this feature will help make you competitive against other advertisers who don't have breadcrumbs enabled. In turn, this will create higher CTRs, higher conversion rate and better Quality Scores (cheaper clicks)

I am thinking of trying to embroider on burlap to make bookmarks. I love the look of the burlap with the frayed edges, and some good heavy stabilizer, which I'm sure it would need, would only enhance the function of a bookmark. Google turned up several interesting articles, but I would love to hear about anyone's personal experience if you've ever tried this, tips for success, pitfalls to avoid, etc.
------"Piecin' a quilt's like livin' a life...The Lord sends us the pieces, but we can cut 'em out and put 'em together pretty much to suit ourselves, and there's a heap more in the cutting' and the sewin' than there is in the caliker...I've had a heap of comfort all my life making quilts, and now in my old age I wouldn't take a fortune for them." (Eliza Calvert Hall, "Aunt Jane of Kentucky", 1898)
Have not done it, but if wanting to make a bookmark of it, and wanting it to hold together later on use and not unravel and fall apart too much, too quick, this is what I would try first.
Stick good strong thick leave in place forever stabilizer in hoop. Or at lest some other matching color to it firmly woven fabric. Spray that with embroidery glue. Press down a piece of that very loose woven and raveling burlap on top of it, embroider what ever you want onto it. Take all out of hoop. Now draw you outside book mark shape over it. Cut out on drawn line, through burlap and leave in forever stabilizer, or other fabric. Now flip to back side and trim down just the stabilizer even more, past the point where you want the fringe all around. Now set whole thing on top of another matching piece of loose burlap, and sew, straight stitch or even better small zig zag in from the end of embroidered piece, through to the separate back loose piece of it, at the depth you want your self fringe. Now trim that back piece to match front one, and pull out the cross threads, and you got "self fringe" on it, that probably will remain for a while and never ravel away. You could try that.

Game console hardware updates usually mean several things: Smaller, sexier designs; quieter fans; less weight; more memory and less electricity consumption. This is definitely the case with the new Xbox 360 Slim, which is great news for anyone interested in saving energy and increasing efficiency. Of course, with more pipelines for digital content and movie distribution, consumers are already using less plastic and gasoline to get their games (the PSPgo is a great example). The real opportunity, looking forward, lies in improving the efficiency of the gaming system hardware and consoles themselves.
The new Xbox 360 Slim (or "Valhalla") system is top-of-mind right now, because it looks great, and is smaller and lighter than its predecessor. Hopefully, it will be less prone to the red ring of death!
What you may not know is that it also has a smaller energy footprint — significantly smaller. The Xbox 360 Slim uses half the electricity of the original design sold from 2005-2007, and that includes gaming use, dashboard, and system idle. This means that high-end games such as Red Dead Redemption will draw only ~85 watts of power, down from ~170. It also means less heat and overheating problems. If, however, you've got a more recent-model 360 (from 2007 onward) your system is probably using 115W for high-end games. But let's face it –who has had the same Xbox 360 for the past three years?
I was at the Zero Hour launch event of the first Xbox 360 held in the Mojave Desert, and I recall being impressed with the system architecture. In retrospect, the desert may not have been the ideal place to premier such a heat-prone system, and that's why they launched at night. It was beautiful and functional — there's no doubt about that — but 360s have always been loud, hot and unreliable. I felt cheated when I saw the size of that huge power brick hanging off the back. No wonder the system looked so good; half of it was outside!
Considering that the original Xbox never got a facelift, the Xbox 360 Slim is a welcome improvement and a step forward for Microsoft. The power supply, while considerably slimmed down, is still external and large. Sony, as a comparison, launched an improved PS3 Slim in September 2009 that takes 35% less power than the original and is also quieter. So the Xbox 360 Slim is Microsoft's way of keeping up and stepping ahead, with 50% less power consumption. Keeping in mind that most people have the newer 360s, which aren't nearly as power-hungry, is this win for Sony?
One of the most amazing improvements to the Xbox 360 S is less "vampire" power consumption. When the system is turned off, the new model takes only 0.6W of power, compared to2.0W-2.8W for the older models. This is thanks to an updated 135W power adapter (the older ones being 150W and 175W). It may only add up to a few dollars a month for most households, but even that is huge incrementally, given that 40,000,000 Xbox 360 systems have been sold worldwide as of April 2010. That's a colossal $40M of wasted vampire power alone.
Overall, a "thumbs up" to Microsoft. The new design has a cooler running system with less noise (45-50 decibels down from 50-55) and it saves energy. Before you rush out and upgrade however, consider how old your current system is. You may already be hovering at ~110W with most games, and it's pretty wasteful to toss a whole system out for a ~20W gain.
For more statistics and tests on the new Xbox 360 Slim and older models visit AnandTech. And if you're really concerned about power use and want to optimize your gaming for the sake of the environment, consider choosing a Wii! Since it was launched in November 2006, the Wii has used 10x less electricity for games than either the Xbox 360 or PS3. "1 UP" Nintendo!
NOTE: In researching this article, I also learned that most stand-alone DVD players consume far less power for movies than the Xbox 360 or PS3 — so a Wii plus DVD might be the perfect fit if your TV is connected to a hamster wheel.

|Label-free detection of proteins from dried-suspended droplets using surface enhanced Raman scattering.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22531213 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|A simple sample preparation method to obtain rich and reproducible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra from proteins regardless of their surface properties and dimensions for label-free detection and identification is reported. The method uses colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as substrates and is based on suspending the droplet of a mixture containing AgNPs and proteins from a hydrophobic surface. Drying the droplet at this suspended configuration allows the accumulation and packing of AgNPs and protein molecules in the middle of the droplet area rather than getting jammed at the edges of drying droplets as the solvent evaporates. A detection limit of down to 0.05 μg mL(-1) for some of the model proteins used in this study is obtained with this simple approach. The advantage of this method is its simplicity and improved sensitivity over other approaches reported in the literature.

Congratulations! Your company is now successful enough for you to afford hiring someone to take care of your social media accounts. In recent years, social media associates or specialists have gotten popular due to the effectiveness of a social media presence for business. This is a relatively new position and because of its infancy, it may lead hiring managers to employ the wrong people. Here are a few useful tips to help any business find the best person to deal with their social media accounts.
Focus on the applicant's professional qualifications
An individual who is well-versed in social media on a personal scale is not necessarily the right person for the job. A lot of social media users that have a large following often got that way by being entertaining or fascinating and this may not translate well when applied to a corporate setting. You should look for people that have received professional training and certification. Your best bets are the people who exhibit maturity and are equipped with the necessary skills that will get your social media presence off the ground.
Ask them about the mistakes they may have made
Recommended for YouWebcast: Sales and Marketing Alignment: 7 Steps To Implement Effective Sales Enablement
One drawback of social media is that if you make a mistake, it seems like the whole world finds out about it in little to no time at all. Because of this, you are not likely to find a person that has never committed a mistake and suffered for it. Ask your candidate to be open and ask them what they learned from any flubs they made. This shows their honesty while teaching you a thing or two in the process.
Ask them to walk you through their process
While it may be much more convenient to rely on the information on a candidate's resume or what they tell you during an interview, it is wiser to request them to give you a sample of what they do on their social media accounts. Take a look at the management tools they use and ask them for reasons why they use them. You might be surprised at how adept an applicant with an underwhelming resume is or how sloppy an applicant with an impressive one might be.
See to it that there are no contradictions
Since you are going to be hiring the person to deal with your business' social media accounts, there is no harm to take a look at the candidates personal and professional media accounts. If you see some things that seem off on their personal account, this could be a potential cause of headaches in the future. Someone who is applying for a job in social media should be able to display propriety in any networking site, personal and otherwise.
Enforce your social media strategy
When you get lucky and find the person that you feel will be a valuable addition to your workforce, it will be your turn to set down some rules. The person you just hired may be in charge of giving your company a voice but it is still up to you and other leaders to make sure that the plan you set out to do is followed. Establish the rules and codes of conduct and make sure your new hire does not just run amuck. One of your goals is to engage and attract people but you should not achieve that by resorting to cheap tricks.

These infections are caused by a blockage of the natural drainage openings of the sinuses. Such blockages can occur when your child has a cold, flu, allergies or bacterial infection. If your child has recurrent sinus infections over a short period of time, has had a complicated sinus infection or has chronic sinusitis that does not resolve with medical therapy, sinus surgery may be discussed as an option to reduce further infection.

CHARLESTOWN - Former Town Council President James M. Mageau has accused some town employees of conducting an illegal fundraising campaign, and has also accused current Councilman Daniel J. Slattery of attempting to cover it up.
Mageau alleges that Town Administrator William DiLibero, Dept. of Parks and Recreation Director Jay Primiano, and Economic Improvement Commission (EIC) Chairman Frank Glista were involved in the fraudulent set-up of an organization called Friends of Ninigret, and illegally solicited tax-deductible donations at the Rhythm and Roots Festival at Ninigret Park on Labor Day weekend.
In a press release, Mageau says that Friends of Ninigret is "an organization that does not now exist and has never existed, either as a separate charitable organization or as a town-created committee or reserve fund."
DiLibero said that he believes no town employee did anything wrong. He said that Friends of Ninigret has been an ongoing project for EIC for about a year, the town council had supplied money for Ninigret Park when they applied the most recent budget, and the town finance department created an account for Friends of Ninigret.
"The council had funded money to do what we did," he said. "There was knowledge of it."
"I think that if there is a mechanism in place to have the money accounted for, I don't have a problem with it," DiLibero added.

Division II Head Coaches Committee Conference Call Minutes
December 18, 2008 * 8 a.m. CT *
Meeting Called to Order: 8:05 a.m. CT
I. Welcome. (Cody)
Cody began the meeting by welcoming everyone and thanked the HCC for taking the time out of their busy schedules to participate in the meeting.
A. AVCA Board Report (Cody)
Cody gave a brief update on the AVCA Board Report, which took place the previous day at the convention. This included:
1. With the slowing economy, it was a tough financial year for the AVCA.
2. 13th Scholarship Update - The 13th scholarship proposal was tabled by the NCAA, along with all other pending proposals. The NCAA has decided to research and evaluate funding for all programs across the board.
3. Sand Volleyball - The NCAA received 12 letters of endorsement from NCAA member institutions proposing the addition of sand volleyball as a sport. The legislation will be voted on by Division I/Division II in January. There was a lot of discussion on running sand tournaments and finding accommodating facilities. Other discussion included the timing of the season, school funding and uniforms.
4. A reminder to all coaches that the inaugural Under Armour High School All-America match will take place on the final day of the convention, Sunday, January 21st in the Qwest Center. All coaches attending the convention can show their badges for admittance; for additional ticket purchase, interested individuals can visit the Qwest Center box office. Please show your support in this first annual event, as it will be televised by ESPNU.
5. Membership and convention reports and numbers
6. Discussion of Head Coach Committee representation and rotations
B. Items for Discussion
1. The committee discussed its interest in having a Division II representative on the AVCA Hall of Fame (HOF) Committee
2. The committee had several questions regarding the format and process of regional rankings provided by the NCAA
* strength of schedule number
* tiebreakers
* The committee determined it would be helpful for this information to be made public to help gain understanding in the matter.
3. The committee also discussed the timing of the Division II All-America press release. The closeness to the actual date of the banquet needs to be evaluated, as travel arrangements for honored athletes are hard to secure.
C. Closing
1. Cody reminded the committee of the general Division II meeting at the convention, which will take place at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, December 19.
2. Cody also reminded the committee that there would be several Division II conference meetings taking place at the convention.
3. It was also suggested in closing that the AVCA look at revamping its Division II poll voter constituency.
Meeting adjourned: 9:25 a.m.
