BYU professor in dispute over 9/11 will retire
Jones had been placed on leave 6 weeks ago
PROVO Professor Steven Jones and Brigham Young University finalized a retirement package Friday, six weeks after the school placed the physicist on paid leave to review his statements and research about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center.
"I am electing to retire so that I can spend more time speaking and conducting research of my own choosing," Jones said in a statement released by the university. "I appreciate the wonderful opportunity I have had to teach and serve and do research at BYU for more than 21 years."
Jones and BYU worked on the package for weeks, Jones said in an interview with the Deseret Morning News. The university abandoned its review of his 9/11-related work Friday after the agreement was reached, university spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said.
Jones' retirement is effective Jan. 1. He hasn't decided what he'll do next, though he has received a feeler from another school and intends to keep talking about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Both sides declined to release details about the retirement package, but Jones said he was told it was pretty standard.
"The university's been great," he said. "I feel like they've been fair with me in this settlement we've reached in this retirement. I feel pretty chipper."
Jenkins said BYU's aborted review, which was expected to last the rest of the semester, was still in the early stages.
"It was at the department level, and we were still in the process of putting together a review panel," she said.
Jones submitted a letter to the editor of the Deseret Morning News via e-mail Friday afternoon. Written two weeks ago, the letter did not mention his decision to retire and avoided any reference to BYU. In it, Jones renounced the Iraqi War, questioned the official explanations of the collapses of the World Trade Center towers and expressed concern that a future terrorist attack might be blamed on Iran or Syria to justify American aggression against those nations.
"I stand firmly against the war in Iraq and any war of aggression," Jones wrote. "I support scientific scrutiny of the events of 9/11/2001, a day which will live in infamy."
BYU stripped Jones of two classes he was teaching when the university placed him on paid leave on Sept. 7 to review a paper he wrote about the physics behind the collapse of three towers on Sept. 11. He published a paper saying experiments he conducted at BYU on material from ground zero and other evidence led him to believe the towers fell because pre-set explosives were detonated throughout the buildings after the hijacked jets struck the Twin Towers.
BYU planned to review the paper to see if it met scientific standards of peer review. The university also expected to look at statements made by Jones at conferences and in the media and determine if Jones was appropriately distancing himself from BYU when he spoke about his explosives theory.
Jones said Friday he welcomed the review because he hoped it would encourage people to read his paper for themselves. He said he feels a responsibility to bring attention to questions about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.
"My stewardship is to get people thinking about and studying these things," he said. "I have my stewardship, and I'm going to keep going at it doggedly. The administrators (at BYU) have their stewardship. We both were just doing our best in our stewardships, and I'm not mad at them at all. I sense it is a friendly type of arrangement. It's probably the best thing, and we'll move on. I feel good about it."
A member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, co-founded by Jones in December 2005, launched a drive to get 10,000 signatures on a petition in support of Jones to send to BYU President Cecil Samuelson. As of Friday afternoon, the petition had 2,924 signatures.
James Fetzer, the other co-founder of the scholars group, published an open letter to Samuelson on www. scholarsfor911truth.org. Fetzer wrote that the buildings were constructed to withstand impact from airplanes and the fires that resulted. Physics can't explain the rapid, pancaking fall of the towers either, he said.
Jones said he hoped news coverage of his retirement would spur media organizations to print his entire letter and explore his paper at www.Journalof911Studies.com.
Jones' letter quoted two Swiss researchers who announced last month that they believe explosives were responsible for the collapse of the building not struck by a plane.
He closed the letter saying he wants to avoid a military draft to fight what he considers unnecessary wars.
"Because of my concern for college-age students I have taught and loved for decades, I am motivated to speak out emphatically against what I judge after thorough study and reflection to be terrible wars, wars of aggression, founded on deceptions."
Jones will finish the semester by transferring duties as chairman of a committee within the Physics Department to his successor and working with students under his tutelage to complete their research.He said his wife hopes he'll spend more time with her and at their home in Sanpete County.

Chapter 74
1Unto the end, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. 2We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works: 3when I shall take a time, I will judge justices. 4The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof. 5I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn. 6Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God. 7For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: 8for God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up: 9for in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink. 10But I will declare for ever: I will sing to the God of Jacob. 11And I will break all the horns of sinners: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.

10 Teams most likely to make it to the Final Four
Week 13
I will post my rankings here every week or so. I will submit my poll to the UTEA and OSUBuckeyeFan is going to put together an accumulative ranking of teams based on everyone's rankings. Just go here and you can learn about the rankings and start doing your own! Thanks!
1.Pittsburgh - I'm done ignoring how good this team really is. I picked them to win the tournament earlier in the year, and I pick them now.
2.Ohio State - There are so many good teams this year, and the truth is I think this team would have won the Championship last year. It will be more difficult this year with the amount of talented teams near the top.
3.Texas - I think they are the best team in the Big 12. What is crazy is that they could go undefeated in that conference... WOW!
4.Notre Dame - They don't have as much talent as the Top 3, but they have more experience. Sometimes that is the most important thing.
5.Kansas - I think the loss to Kansas State was just the typical upset loss against a rival.
6.Brigham Young - Jimmer Fredette is unbelievable. If he gets really hot in the tournament, I don't know if anyone will be able to stop him.
7.Duke - I'm not giving up on them yet. Like Notre Dame, experience can do wonders...
8.Wisconsin - They have to figure out how to win on the road or it will be another great season lost in disappointment because of a early tourney exit.
9.Florida - Those 3 bad losses seems to be behind them, but it still concerns me.
10.Louisville - They look really, really good right now.
Teams to Watch:

3 Seeds: Georgetown (E), Wisconsin (SE), Connecticut (W), Florida (SW)
4 Seeds: Louisville (E), Purdue (SE), Villanova (W), Vanderbilt (SW)
This does not include tonights games.
I would obviously have to adjust teams due to rematches, rivalries, same conference teams, etc. This is just how I would rank these teams at this point.
I will probably post a blind resume examination tonight or tomorrow for a couple of the teams on here!

1.Ohio State - Win or lose today, they have all the pieces to be a serious championship contender.
2.Texas - If you would have asked me two months ago if I thought Texas was a championship contender I would have laughed. Just goes to show, things can change in an instance.
3.Pittsburgh - Beat a very good West Virginia, the keep racking up the wins.
4.Kansas - Another good win this week, seems like they strike when least expected.
5.Notre Dame - Beat a really good Louisville team this week. They don't take a week off. This is a very experienced team, you can not afford to make mistakes against them, they will make you pay.
6.Wisconsin - They came back from FIFTEEN behind against the number 1 team in the nation. If that doesn't tell you that this team is for real, I don't know what will.
7.Brigham Young - Jimmer Freddette. Enough said.
8.Duke - Another team that came from behind in a huge game. I think you'll see them deep in the tournament this year again, but how deep?
9.Florida - The win over Kentucky doesn't look as stunning anymore, but the point is that they won. They handled South Carolina like they should. They have won games in the SEC similar to what they will see in the tournament. They just have to avoid those games.
10.Connecticut - I don't doubt Walker, but I am doubting the rest of their team. I still think they have the ability to get far if they play like they did a couple weeks ago. Though, that's all they have going for them.

Bracketology Teaser
New Plan, I am crunched on time. My Bracketology will either come out tomorrow OR next Friday Night.
I was planning on having it out tonight, but it seems to be taking longer than expected, I'll get faster later. This year seems to be way harder than the past 2 years I have done the bracketology. I have seen a couple of others Bracketology and one thing I noticed is that the bubble varies, a lot.
*The results from tonight and tomorrow will NOT be included in my bracketology so it will be Bracketology February 10th, rather than the 12th.
Here is a little sneak peak of how things are looking.
Last 4 IN: UAB, Clemson, Memphis, Oklahoma State
First SIX OUT: Southern Miss, Colorado St, Richmond, Alabama, Boston College, Washington State

Main Updates
Real Quick: What Is It?
"Crush College: An Unorthodox Guide to Adding Sleep, Reducing Stress, Double-Majoring, Graduating Early, and Getting Way More Out of the College Experience" will be an eBook (AND NOW also a full color paperback!) designed to help college students--whether currently struggling or already feeling "on top of things"--to achieve goals once thought impossible by dramatically increasing their effectiveness, eliminating previously-unthinkable amounts of wasted time in their lives, and then re-directing that time towards what's most important.
Alright: Why Write the Book?
Great question. 60% of college students don't graduate within 4 years. This is nuts.
But 40% don't graduate within six. And to make things worse, students everywhere suffer from sleep-deprivation, stress, physical inactivity, and (of course) huge debt that grows with each extra semester.
Even at MIT (my alma mater), friends of mine dropped out because they thought they "didn't have what it took." Other friends took 9 or 10 semesters--both miserably and hugely costly for young adults already in mountains of debt.
Universally, the cultural norm in the US is that college students are expected to lose sleep and become addicted to caffeine. Just today I walked into Starbucks and saw this--years ago, I wouldn't have blinked, but today I realize it's a sign that something's wrong:
I think all of the above is unacceptable. My mission with "How to Crush College" is to change this
forever, affecting change at the only place it's realistic: with
students themselves. I want to take college students from treading water
to excelling and loving college.
A successful, joyous college career should not be reserved for the lucky few. I want to give everyone a surefire way to achieve this. I want to eradicate burnout and restore fun. I want to make college great.
What Inspired You to Write?
Besides the above stories and statistics, I finally got around to writing after helping enough of my friends one-on-one, and hearing enough of them tell me I should write a book.
Despite being a solid-B student in high school, I managed to sneak out of MIT with a Bachelors (with 2 minors) and a Masters in 4 years, while still getting lots of sleep and never pulling an all-nighter after freshman fall. People with varying levels of success and struggle asked me, "what are you doing differently?" It was hard to describe at first, but I started to try crystallizing what I was doing and help others.
The result was a series of cheat sheets, Excel tools, and a lot of one-on-one coaching time with friends and with my fraternity (where I was Scholarship Chair). For some time, this stuff sat around.
In my work as an operations/management consultant (my day job for the past 4 years), I've kept alight my love of really helping make a difference in people's lives... and I've become more confident in my ability to make major changes in people's lives.
How do You Plan to Save College?
The key principle is this: those that wildly succeed are not separated by those that drop out by superior intellect or work ethic. They have a process, which helps them to constantly shed off unnecessary work and redirect this time to more important stuff (be it studying for a tough test, sleeping more, or taking on extra classes).
In my experience the process has been both consistent and (blessedly) simple. Problem is: we don't teach it to our kids when they're preparing for college, so they show up to their dorms without the tools needed to thrive. I intend to teach people how to thrive.
What Makes You Qualified?
Having spent 4 years in operations/management consulting, I've seen the common principles that help certain business cultures excel, and others flail. I've spent my career to date turning the flailing cultures into effective ones. Clients are consistently amazed at how much they're capable of when they change a few practices and mindsets. With small (no-cost) changes in how clients manage themselves, we've made incredible things happen (like 50% increases in factory productivity) in a matter of a few months.
In college, some of these principles started to emerge in my mind, but it took me some time to put two and two together. Here's my personal experience:
I graduated
from MIT in 4 years with a Bachelors and Masters degree, 2 minors, 2
publications, and some great recommendations. Throughout this, I
averaged 7 hours of sleep per night, partied on weekends, got to the
gym, got involved in student government and my fraternity, and took on
jobs during the school year. I even changed majors twice.
I never pulled an all-nighter after
my freshman fall, when I got fed up with being miserable and decided to
take a hard look at how I was using my time. After settling my own life
(and taking on more), I began to formalize the system I used for my
friends and others around me. I also started actively noticing what systems others were using for themselves to work. And--you guessed it--the most successful in college also had a unique and commons set of mindsets and practices (and not super-smartness or superior work ethic) that set them apart.
What Really Makes "Crush College" Different?
There are some talented authors out there like Cal Newport that have written some hugely popular books on the subject. I've read many of them, as well as the mass of "productivity" books for business.
I think all fall well short of what students need in a few key ways:
1) Their books are long (very long, in the case of Newport), scattered lists of suggestions and advice. Much of it is even very good advice. But which of it applies to you most? Are you prepared to make some 70+ separate changes once you put the book down? Do you know which few really matter?
2) These books (much like Covey's "7 Habits") explain what to do, but do not guide students through the challenging process of making permanent personal changes. We've all tried to change before and have often failed. We've all gotten lots of good advice that we haven't carried through, despite our intent.
3) They're fundamentally limited to the collective wisdom of the very good--placing a fixed ceiling on what's possible. This holds the "very good" back from going further to become truly exceptional.
How is "Crush College" different?
1) "Crush College" provides a straightforward process of helping students identify the key areas in their lives to focus in order to achieve huge results.
(CAUTION: The examples below are examples from my own college experience, and are not necessarily the changes you should make or the sources of time that you're wasting. "Crush College" is about guiding you to find your own biggest, easiest opportunities to eliminate wasted time and improve effectiveness, rather than telling you what changes to make. Use the below for illustrative purposes.)
2) This means, instead of trying to choose from or make dozens of possible changes, students make a few small changes that produce dramatic results.
3) After identifying what changes to make, "Crush College" helps students to easily adopt and stick to new behaviors and habits with minimal time and effort, and no guilt or self-shaming.
4) A process of challenging introspection helps students to identify and eradicate wasted time that nobody ever thought existed--meaning far more is possible than we've ever been taught.
Through these, "Crush College" acts as a guide every detailed step of the way to victory, going far beyond giving advice and listing good ideas. With specific instructions and tools custom-built to execute on each step students aren't left to "do the hard part" on their own--changes are easy and results are both speedy and dramatic. Success builds on itself as students see the impact, work more effectively, and have more available time from each iteration of improvement.
What's in the Book?
These principles, practices, and mindsets are translated into a very clear, simple step-by-step guide that is targeted directly at college students. Its early steps focus on the biggest picture, pursue the most time, and create early wins that motivate students to keep going and keep making progress.
Without giving away too much, the idea is to turn traditional wisdom on its head by helping students do more with fewer hours, less pain, and less guilt. Instead of helping students read more pages, Crush College helps them learn more with fewer. Instead of long, eye-numbing study blocks: short, focused ones that take less than half the time. Instead of the procrastination-guilt cycle: manipulating our own brains to excitedly anti-procrastinate. Instead of following a bunch of tips: systematically hunting down the biggest time sinks and custom-building projects to get that time back.Key Principles:
- Far more improvement is possible than you believe.
- You must aggressively challenge assumptions about your work to find the most time to recover.
- Being deeply in touch with your goals is critical to stay focused and get the most out of college.
- Prioritizing is about choosing what not to do.
- Go after semesters and weeks of time--not minutes.
- 80% of the results come in the first 20% of effort in whatever you do.
Key Time Recovery Steps:
- Clearly define your goals for college and force-rank.
- Strictly and aggressively plan your college schedule.
- Seek out and take the classes that get you the most out of college--with the least headache and stress.
- Break down the toughest projects into smaller chunks.
- Set deadlines well in advance and schedule backwards.
- Schedule each week into focused blocks--including fun.
- Hunt & eliminate waste in everything you do, from goofing off to working hard. Iterate.
- Say "no" to as much break-in work as you can.
- Bonus: ascend to superhuman effectiveness by learning the art of micro-efficiency.
- Learn your own brain: recognize simmering distraction and stop it in its tracks.Make distractions harder to find.
- Learn how to easily increase your willpower.
- Use spurts of focus with precise breaks to maximize effectiveness.
- Track and share progress--accountability is powerful.
- Trust your gut and stay in touch with what's important.
Some Practical Examples: How to...
- Kill the siren song of Facebook once and for all.
- Power through your mid-term paper in less than a week, end-to-end.
- Slash total reading by more than half... and retain more.
- Spend less time in the lab, writing code, or designing.
- Finish 80% of your thesis by the time you officially start.
- Take advantage of "double-dipping" in requirements to shave a semester off your degree without adding classes.
- Say "no" to unwanted work... even to your professors.
"How to Crush College" includes free downloadable tools and applications specifically designed to increase ease and clarity in the entire process.
Why do You Need IndieGoGo Funds?
So: I am done writing! The good news for you is that means you don't have to worry about whether I'll deliver.
The funding I'm raising is going to be used 100% (after costs of the campaign) for paying an editor and publisher to take this labor of love from text to book. Turns out it's very expensive!
The rest
of it (ISBNs, book cover, web page) I am planning to cover out of
pocket, but additional funds will go towards reimbursing for those,
whose costs are upwards of $550. More funding, thus, is always better.
Note! We're going full-color paperback, which will cost an additional $2700 for the first run of 100, and then prices go down after that. Further funding will help cover these expenses.
How Else Can I Help?Share, share, share. You know, the social media thing. Obviously this book isn't for everyone, but you probably know folks that are in college, or will be. What's the likelihood they'll end up in the 60% that graduate late (or the 40% that go past 6 years)? Alternatively, what would it mean to them to never have to pull an all-nighter? What would it mean to get a second major without killing themselves to do it?
In short, there are millions of folks out there that might be interested. So grab the link from way above, put it in your Facebook, Twitter, all that jazz.
You can also give me feedback in comments. I love feedback, especially the constructive kind. Something missing you want to know? Something not convincing? Tell me!
All in all: wanted to give everyone a big "thank you" so far for all the help and interest.

Automating the world one-liner at a time…
Here is a collection of differences between the PowerShell_ise.exe and PowerShell.exe, as well as workaroundsand suggestion if you need them (assuming we have them :))
There could be others, but parity with PowerShell is a big thing for the ISE.

Hey folks,
I have a powershell script that is waiting on a crash event from the event log using register-objectevent. It works fine in PowershellISE however it doesn't in powershell.exe. What gives? I tried a few of these supsect powershell.exe command line switches to no avail. Here's my script:
$eventlog = new-object System.Diagnostics.EventLog
$eventlog.Log = "Application"
$subscription = Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $eventlog -EventName EntryWritten -Action { HandleCrash $EventArgs }
Function HandleCrash($EntryWrittenArgs)
if($EntryWrittenArgs.Entry.InstanceId -ne 1001)
if(-not ($EntryWrittenArgs.Entry.Message -match "P1:\s+.*"))
...More stuff...
This definitely WORKS in powershell ISE. You can imagine my frustration here :-).
Another difference appears to be the ability to end a line with a pipe in the CLI but not in the ISE. Bruce Payette, in his "Windows PowerShell In Action", 2cd ed., p. 28 states that if you end a line with a pipe symbol "|", PS will interpret it as an incomplete command and display ">>" on the next line to get the users further input. This works in the CLI but not in the ISE. This might make sense when you consider that one may be writing a script saved to file that could be run when there was no user around to respond to the secondary prompt, but it is still a difference. Maybe this is control by a profile setting? P.S. I find it amusing that the edit control on this web page shows "PowerShell" with red squiggly under it.
If you get trouble with [Console]::OutputEncoding in Powershell ISE, this thread can give you some hints:
Hey PowerShell Team,
I would like to read some more on this topic regarding the changes in PowerShell V3 and V4. In V4 PowerShell ISE Host 'Start-Transcript' seem to be supported now.
But I cannot debug a call to $host.UI.RawUI.ReadKey() as this throws an error "The method or operation is not implemented."
BR, Wolf.

Photo of the Week: Planting Seeds for Growth in East Africa
May 31, 2013
Training is critical to help farmers build skills that can lead them out of poverty. Our work in Kenya and Uganda is doing just that.
A TechnoServe business advisor holds a passion fruit seedling during a farmer training session in the highlands of western Kenya. For farmers in the developing world, trainings like these are critical to building skills that will improve the quality of their crops and help fetch higher prices from buyers in the marketplace. It's a key step to empower impoverished farmers to increase their incomes, paving the way to a better life.
Project Nurture, a partnership with The Coca-Cola Company, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and TechnoServe, is helping this type of change take root in farming communities across Kenya and Uganda. Through this program, we aim to help more than 50,000 small-scale mango and passion fruit farmers double their fruit incomes. We're also helping to prove that smallholder farmers can generate meaningful income through fruit production and be competitive suppliers in a market system.
Read more about what we've learned from Project Nurture so far.

Beautiful, Nimble, Stout And Fast…
The Extra 330LT hits a homerun
If you've never flown a high-performance aerobatic airplane, that might sound a bit intimidating; but you're in for a surprise. Take the controls, and you'll quickly discover that an Extra is an absolute delight to fly. The controls are well-harmonized yet responsive, the visibility is superb, and the airplane will follow any suggestion that you pass to it through the controls. Sit up, pay attention, and you'll quickly find that it's easy to fly more precisely than you ever thought possible. You don't have to be Patty Wagstaff to enjoy this kind of performance.
The first thing I noticed is that the LT flies a bit more nose-low than the 300L, so forward visibility is improved. Second, that new wing definitely makes a difference when it comes to speed. Leveling at 8,500 feet and trimming the power to 2,400 rpm at about 16.5 gph with the throttle wide open, the 330LT rapidly accelerated to 160 KIAS—right at the top of the green arc. That's over 180 knots true, which is about 20 KTAS faster than a 300L at a similar power setting. I've flown the 300L in a formation takeoff with a 330LT and watched in amazement as the LT very quickly disappeared into a dot in the distance. It wasn't even close. The LT has a published top speed of 205 KTAS, so there's just no comparison when it comes to speed. It's basically an airborne Ferrari—only faster.
|ABOVE, LEFT TO RIGHT: A new externally accessible baggage area holds a small bag or other items for cross-country trips. The wingtips have been reshaped with rounded edges and swept-up wingtips. The MT prop provides maximum thrust at slow airspeed to aid controllability during slow maneuvers.
How About A Little Akro?
When it comes to aerobatics, how does the 330L akro/touring model compare to the more aerobatically tuned 300L that I normally fly? In cruise, the 330LT has a more stable feel. Hands-off, it flies straight and level, whereas the 300L tends to require minor corrections every 10 seconds or so. Straight and level stability is another virtue that makes the LT well-suited to cross-country flying. My first thought was that all that stability might not be so good for aerobatics, but sometimes first impressions can be wrong!
Rolling inverted, I expected the asymmetric wing to require a noticeably higher nose position than the 300L and inadvertently applied a bit too much forward stick. So, we climbed inverted. Oops, I forgot that the wing is still attached to the fuselage at pretty much zero angle of incidence, so the inverted sight picture between the two airplanes is pretty similar. Hammerheads and loops are easy and super fun. Pitch and roll authority are impressive, and the only thing I missed was an aerobatic sight out on the wing tip. Our demo airplane didn't have one, but the good news is that there's room on the new wing for customers who might want one.

Paul R. La Monica of CNN/Money calls Apple "the Teflon tech stock" in his latest column, noting that no amount of bad news seems to damper the company's performance on Wall Street. "Here are just a few of the issues the Mac faithful have had to ponder: CEO Steve Jobs' cancer surgery, intensified online music competition from Real Networks and Roxio (which is renaming itself Napster), rumblings about an imminent online music entry by Microsoft, Sony's debut in the digital music player market, delays in the introduction of the new iMac, concerns about a shortage of the G5 processor and a recall of some PowerBook batteries. Whew! Despite all this, Apple's stock is up more than 45 percent this year. Since my last positive column about Apple in mid-May, the stock is up 16 percent. Meanwhile the Nasdaq lost 2 percent." La Monica remains bullish about Apple despite the recent gains and shaky news, noting that heavy demand continues to surround several Apple products and that Apple's music strategy seems very sound.

Qingdao Olympic Regatta 2008. Anna Tunnicliffe (USA).
Qingdao has impressed the skeptics by mustering enough breeze to run the first three days of sailing on schedule. However, today's six classes were not so lucky and sat onshore in an hour-long postponement before heading out to the race course. Breezes picked up to a suitable six to seven knots for the first races of the day, but by the second races the changing current and growing chop made the conditions feel a bit stickier.
This morning a flotilla of over 300 small boats responded to an overnight algae bloom, and cleaned up as much as possible before racing. Though the algae has been present in small patches recently, today saw a resurgence, but nothing near the devastating caliber of six weeks ago.
The Lasers and Laser Radials sailed their first races today on Course A, which is only about one hundred meters from the seawall. The 43 men started first in the Lasers, and USA sailor Andrew Campbell (San Diego, Calif.) finished in 14th and 18th in his two races, putting him in 13th overall. He said, 'It's not impossible to figure out, it's just really tough racing.' Some Laser class favorites had major ups and downs today, so Campbell's consistent scores show appropriate caution for the first day of a long regatta.
Laser Radial sailor Anna Tunnicliffe (Plantation, Fla.) is a medal favorite going into this event, and came out on top after 4th and 5th place finishes today. She said, 'I made a couple mistakes and could have had a couple top threes, but given the caliber of this fleet I'm happy.' In the second race of the day, Paraguayan Cerutti banged the corner to lead around the top mark. When asked what Anna thought about that risky move, she said, 'She was so far ahead I thought she was a full rig!' This was the debut of the Laser Radial as the women's singlehanded dinghy class, replacing the Europe dinghy sailed in 1992-1004. Twenty-eight Radials are racing here in Qingdao.
In the Women's RS:X, underdog Nancy Rios (Miami, Fla.) had a slightly improved day coming in a 22, 26, but stays in 26th place overall. In the first race today, Rios made it to the top mark in fifth place, and held in sixth by the bottom. Despite dropping back on the second lap, Rios is really enjoying the Olympic experience, 'I'm learning more about myself here. I have to tell myself to calm down and remember to breathe.'
In the 470 Women, Amanda Clark (Shelter Island, N.Y.) and Sarah Mergenthaler (New York, N.Y.) were busy last night in two protests, but won both and were bumped up from 15th to 12th place overall. Today's 10, 15 performance puts them in 14th overall. The duo held sixth place for half of the second race, but Mergenthaler said, 'Then it went Qingdao on us. There was a huge shift and we were on the wrong side so that was tough.' As far as the conditions in Qingdao, Rios said, 'I almost threw up during the last race because it was so hot and I was working so hard.'
Stu McNay (Lincoln, Mass.) and Graham Biehl (San Diego, Calif.) were pulled out of today's first race after having started early, and were penalized OCS, which is 30 points. After a 17th in the second race they are now in 23rd overall in the 29-boat fleet.
In the Men's RS:X, Ben Barger had a slightly worse day and now sits in 24th of the 35-board class. The aerobic demands of the windsurfers are mind boggling and worth checking out on the NBC website. Barger will likely welcome tomorrow's day of rest tomorrow.
Tomorrow's weather calls for more of the same, with Chinese forecasts showing a consistent two to three knots more than other models. Finn and Yngling will return to race tomorrow, as will Men's and Women's 470, Laser and Laser Radial, and the 49er.

In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability. Parents are invited to attend the closing ceremony! Departure immediately following at 3PM.
Transportation is not provided by the camp to or from any airports. If you are flying to or from camp, we recommend using an airport shuttle service. Please schedule flights as close as you can to the check-in times on the first day and check-out times on the last day.
A detailed camper registration packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact numbers, and a checklist of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. The US Sports Camps health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
If five or more campers register together, as a group by mail or fax, each camper will receive a $20 discount. If 10 or more campers register together, as a group by mail or fax, each camper will receive a $40 discount. Click "Get Brochure" above and print the application. All applications must be received at the same time via mail or fax. If all members of your group pay with a Visa or MasterCard, feel free to fax your applications to 415-479-6061 to expedite processing. Late or individual registrations are not eligible to receive the group discount.

St. George's High School is located at 555 Hyetts Corner Road, Middletown, DE 19709.
The highlight of the camp was when we got to play scrimmages and put all of the things that we learned throughout the day into action on the court.
One of the things I enjoyed about the Nike Basketball Camp was the friendships I made. I had the opportunity to play with and learn from some good basketball players.
This camp is no longer available this season.

Hugs. Sorry it's not working out how you wanted. I hope everything else goes well.
I agree kind of... it seems like immediate family should be allowed no matter what and people just have to be responsible to take proper precaution with masks, etc. I can see banning ppl other than immediate family, but it's getting extreme. I'm sorry! Can you try to sneak them in? lol

This is supposed to be the worst flu season since 1910. 48 States are having really bad difficulties. From what I read on the CDC, the anticipated virus mutated so some people may need a second flu shot depending on how early they got it. They're just trying to keep a handle on it. I was even told not to bother going to my doctor's office unless absolutely necessary. They are even asking people who are showing symptoms of the flu to not go in unless it's to the point they need ER attention. They are just trying to reduce the spread of the virus and unfortunately, we have to follow protocol. At my hospital, anyone who has not had their flu shot is not allowed in the maternity ward unless there is a good reason why they could not receive it, but they can't arrive with the slightest sniffle. They are discussing restricting it to mom's and dad's or just the immediate family only though because of the flu outbreak. I hope that isn't the case because I wanted to have both my fiance and my mom there with me. That may not happen though. It really does suck, but there is a really good reason. Death rates from the flu are up in some states as well. :-/ It's better to be cautious. *hugs*

Hello from sunny Orange County, California. I finally decided to start commuting to work 2 days a week via bicycle (35 miles one way). Yes, gas prices have forced me to finally look at this as an alternative. Even with a car that gets 30mpg, spending $6 a day on gas to and from work is too much. I'll only drive once a week, and be carpooling (with my wife) the other days.
I managed to get my old Schwinn High Plains (15 years old) tuned up and running again. I'll ride the beast for a few weeks until I decide (ie., save up enough money) on what I want for my next bike.
For those of you commuting on the Santa Ana River Trail, be on the lookout for a 6' 3" 220lb guy riding a mountian bike. Anybody that lets me draft will get a big thumbs up!

He warns that health care costs are gobbling up money that employers should use to raise wages and worker pay -- yet the plans he backs would require employers to pay 8 percent of their payroll as a tax or provide insurance to their workers.
The Obama plan highlights greater preventive care -- but, at the same time, cuts medical incomes and so will cut the number of doctors who might provide it.
The stimulus package, in the Gospel According to Barack, was "designed" to work over the next two years. But at the time, he demanded immediate passage to "jump-start the economy" -- something that clearly did not happen.
Medicare and Medicaid are "driving the deficit" even as he increased the amount of red ink by at least $800 billion in six months with little, if any, increase in the cost of either program.
He says he "expects" banks to repay their TARP money. In fact, they're lining up around the block to do so -- but the Treasury will only permit a handful of them to do so.
In summary, Obama's health program will promote "lower cost and more choice" by increasing spending by $1 trillion, telling patients what care they're permitted to have, and limiting their access to quality care.

LOS ANGELES -- On a recent weekday afternoon, Sting was sitting in
a Burbank dressing room, quietly reading on a tablet computer as he waited to
make an appearance on �The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.�
A chat with Leno wasn�t the English singer�s only reason for
being in L.A.; two nights earlier, he�d entertained a crowd of celebrities and
showbiz executives at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art�s annual Art + Film
Gala. Asked how the gig went, Sting put down the tablet, took off his glasses
and reported that no one had asked for his or her money back.
�It�s a very well-heeled audience, you know,� he continued. �But
they like to be told what to do. They feel a bit stuffy in their posh clothes,
so you say, �Look, stand up, and if you wanna dance, just do it.��
Soon Sting, 62, will put his work in front of other well-heeled
Next fall, the frontman of the Police, one of rock�s most
successful bands, is set to hit Broadway with a new musical called "The Last
Ship." With songs by Sting and a book co-written by a pair of Tony Award winners
in John Logan and Brian Yorkey, the show depicts the decline of the shipbuilding
industry in Wallsend, the seaside town near Newcastle, England, where Sting grew
It�s full of the folk music of northeastern England -- not unlike
Sting�s 1991 solo album �The Soul Cages� -- and of the region�s factory-working
�It�s about the place I come from,� said Sting, who�s also a
producer on the project. (He doesn�t plan to appear onstage.) �I think these
songs have been gestating for a long, long time.�
But �The Last Ship� also pulls from a rich theater-music
tradition the singer said he �absorbed through osmosis� as a child from cast
recordings of Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals. To demonstrate, he picked up a
small acoustic guitar in his dressing room and strummed an augmented chord with
a kind of unsettled feel.
�You don�t often hear that in pop music,� he said.
EXTRA: Watch Sting perform "The Last Ship."
In September, Sting released an album of his own performances of
songs from the show, his first record of original material since �Sacred Love�
in 2003.
He hadn�t been quiet over the intervening decade. There was a set
of tunes from the English Renaissance, a jazzy holiday album and a collection of
orchestral versions of old hits like �Roxanne� and �Every Little Thing She Does
Is Magic.� (The Police also toured in 2007 and 2008.)
Yet Sting admitted that those projects had kept him busy during a
long stretch of writer�s block.
�I�d been wondering whether I�d lost the mojo,� he said. �But it
turns out I just needed to stop writing about me. Once I said, �OK, I�m gonna
tell somebody else�s story,� I freed up and the songs poured out in a very quick
A blockage like the one he experienced can be useful to a
songwriter, he added: �You need to be on input some of the time, to have
something to say before you say it.�
Though it fulfills the narrative needs of a Broadway score --
something Sting said he had to learn from his co-writers and the show�s
Tony-winning director, Joe Mantello -- �The Last Ship� has dark textures and
surprising melodic turns that distinguish it from other current musicals, most
of which Sting said he had little interest in.
In the album�s title track, he sings of �a strange kind of beauty
/ It�s cold and austere,� and that goes some way toward describing these songs.
Rob Mathes, who produced the record with Sting, recalled devising a string part
for �Practical Arrangement,� a stirring plea from one character to another.
�It was very pretty, not cheesy at all,� Mathes said of what he�d
written. Yet three weeks after they�d recorded it, Sting called him.
�He was, like, �I don�t know about the strings - it feels like a
carpet on the music,�� the producer said. �He�d decided he wanted brass instead,
something less sweet. No one else would have said that.�
For all his artistic quirks, though, Sting knows he�s a
superstar, a guy whose decades of tabloid-scene celebrity -- remember the claims
about tantric sex? -- mean that �The Last Ship� will be under scrutiny from the
moment it opens in Chicago in June on its way to New York.
�There is no out-of-town tryout for this,� he said, acknowledging
that he and his collaborators will be �tinkering� with the show through the
final rehearsal, even as Sting hits the road for a five-week North American
arena tour with Paul Simon.
Sting didn�t say it, but Simon is one of the many pop stars
who�ve found Broadway to be a tough gig. In 1998, Simon�s �The Capeman� famously
closed after only 68 performances, costing its investors a reported $11
But Sting said that at this point in his career, he finds the
creative challenge invigorating.
�It�s tough,� he said of the theater. �And it should be tough.
But no one�s gonna kill me.� He laughed. �Let�s maybe not quote that.�

FTM to Axton Lane, my little Spider Monkey. September 16, 2012.
Yep! My little guy has been rolling back to belly for a couple of weeks now. Right at 4 months. He rolled tummy to back three times in a row last week but since he doesn't like tummy time, he usually just gets mad and hasn't done it since! :) LOL

I applied in-person. I interviewed at AXA Advisors.
They pitched me the job instead of me pitching myself as a canidate. Would have been a red flag had I been older when I applied. I was told I'd be joining a successful FA Team and would be working primarily on managing existing relationships and prospecting through that book of business. What I actually ended up doing was getting a corporate directory and a phone cubicle.
Interview Questions
The process took 3+ weeks. I interviewed at AXA Advisors.
Three step process. Phone interview followed by two in-person interviews. Easy process and just explain the business model. No behavioral questions or logic questions. Overall, it was a good experience.
Interview Questions
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AXA Advisors (New York, NY) in November 2015.
Applied through university and heard back couple of weeks later. Very relaxed group interview and low-pressure environment. There were 7-8 other candidates in the room, so there weren't too many opportunities to speak about yourself and stand out. Received rejection email about week after interview. Very friendly people at the office, and it was a pleasurable experience overall.
Interview Questions

I applied through my campus and had a one on one interview with the assistant of the vice president of the office. I was asked basic questions about why I would be a good financial advisor. During the office visit, I met with more members of the staff and was asked what I knew about the company and my fears going into the position. All was a very relaxed setting.

I applied online. I interviewed at AXA Advisors (Dallas, TX).
I applied online and got a call a few days later about setting up an interview. I had to take a personality test online. The first interview was very laid back. I really enjoyed the interviewer. He ended the interview by telling me how difficult it was to get started as a Financial Advisor and expressing his belief that it may not be the right time for me. There were other interviews after the first one, but we both decided that it would be a waste of my time and theirs. Though it did not end in a job, I really appreciated his honesty.

I was contacted immediately (the day after I submitted my resume) via email/phone. They scheduled me for a 10-minute preliminary interview. The recruiter was very nice and friendly. Overall the process went very smoothly, although the position was more sales oriented than what I was looking for. Therefore, I declined to pursue the job any further.
Interview Questions
First interview was very quick. took all of about 30 minutes. The first interview is really for the employer to make sure that the candidate has an accurate perspective on the job and the high demands that a job in this field would require
Interview Questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at AXA Advisors (Austin, TX) in October 2015.
So far only 2 interviews down, but I have been told the process takes up to 6 here in the Austin Texas area. Fist interview is a face to face meeting in which they told me about their specific team and the great things happing as opposed to promoting the company as a whole. Second interview was over the phone.
Interview Questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AXA Advisors (Fort Worth, TX) in September 2015.
First interview, get to know you sort of questions. Interviewer went into great detail of the company and how they operated. Basically it is a sales job and you make minimum wage and then get commission on top of that. Interviewer was really nice and talked about how he started in the entry level position as well, which showed that the company has great upward mobility. Says company is not a 9-5 typical day job, you work round the clock and you work really hard. Probably because it's commission based, you have to work really hard.
Interview Questions
I applied online. I interviewed at AXA Advisors.
After having a phone interview and a webinar, they finally scheduled an in-person interview. The position requires a lot of preparation with them not able to pay/hire you until you completed several tests and acquire several licenses. The job stresses on having you find your own clients and managing your own sales.
