Admission (2013)
Admission SynopsisTina Fey (Date Night, 30 Rock) and Paul Rudd (I Love You Man, Knocked Up) star in Admission, the new film directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz (About a Boy), about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness. Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Fey) is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman (Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted -- but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 25The Arena Family
Jimmy ''Jimboy'' Arena changed an entire community forever. Diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at five years-old Jimboy stayed strong. He inspired hundreds of neighbors, community members, several fire departments, officials and his own family with his infectious smile and spirit. But on September 28th 2005, shortly after his sixth birthday, Jimboy died and the Arena Family lost their only son.
The Arena's had saved enough money to repair and add onto their small home for their growing family but, when Jimboy was diagnosed, the funds went to experimental treatments across the country, medical care and travel expenses. A large Italian clan the Arena's can't enjoy a dinner together and mom loves to cook. Their small, 1400 square-foot rundown house has seen its share of wear and tear from the kids and is literally falling apart and bursting at the seams! With six daughters and one bathroom, the Arenas are in desperate need of bigger and better facilities.
In this episode of ''Extreme Makeover: Home Edition'' we learn how one little boy changed the lives of hundreds as we help his family get back on their feet and into a better and more accommodating home.
The Arena's larger kitchen is now well equipped with custom KraftMaid cabinetry. The solid raised door style is finished in the deep brown Cognac stain, accented with Yorkshire glass inserts and competed with pewter bail and ring pulls.
The master bathroom was styled with KraftMaid's solid raised door style, finished in Kaffe with Oil Rubbed Bronze knobs and pulls. The much-needed girl's bathroom, as well as the dressing room and linen storage areas were all outfitted with maple cabinetry in a creamy Bisque Glaze finish with satin pewter hardware.

text: Brooklyn-based quintet Caveman deliver an ambitious, sprawling take on indie pop by drawing influences from experimental rock, post-rock, wistful indie rock, and African music traditions. Comprised of Matthew Iwanusa (lead vocals, guitar, drums), Jimmy "Cobra" Carbonetti (guitar), Stefan Marolachakis (drums, vocals), Sam Hopkins (synthesizer, vocals), and Jeff Berrall (bass, vocals), the band formed in January 2010, parlaying its attention-getting live shows into opening slots for bands like Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Cursive, and White Rabbits as well as a spot on Stereogum's 40 Best Bands of 2011 list. Their full-length debut, CoCo Beware, arrived digitally in September 2011, followed two months later in physical form on their own Magic Man!/ORG Music label, balancing varied elements like four-part harmonies, tribal drums, trickling keyboards, and hazy guitars with inspired results. A second, self-titled album arrived in 2013. The more subdued, reflective melodies of Caveman drew more than a few comparisons to the Shins, primarily for the similarities between the voices of Shins vocalist James Mercer and Iwanusa. ~ Chrysta Cherrie, Rovi

Black Engineers Conference Lures Students and Professionals
(Updated:Feb. 8, 2013) Some of the nation's best and brightest professional and student minds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics converged on Washington, D.C. Feb. 7 for the annual Black Engineer of the Year Award, or BEYA, STEM Global Competitiveness Conference.
BEYA chairman Tyrone Taborn said the conference was conceived "to recognize and document the significant contributions" of Blacks in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
"In the mid-1980s, the Black Engineer of the Year Awards Conference joined with the Morgan State University School of Engineering to recognize past and present contributions of Blacks [in] engineering, science, technology and math," he said.
The three-day event was held at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Northwest D.C. This year's theme was "Together Towards Tomorrow: Harnessing the Potential of Change" and was expected to draw 10,000 participants.
This year's recipient of the Black Engineer of the Year Award is Freeman Hrabowski, III, president of the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
"I received an amazing phone call from a group of people I would consider to be some of my heroes, well-established in the field of engineering," Hrabowski said of being notified about the award. "I was greatly surprised and humbled."
Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) will deliver the keynote address at the BEYA luncheon Feb. 8, during which Hrabowski will be honored.
The Council of Engineering Deans at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and US Black Engineer & Information Technology magazine are hosting the event.
Taborn said the goal of the conference is to "increase awareness of the significant efforts of outstanding Black engineers and scientists and promote new jobs, careers, businesses, industries and technologies in [STEM] fields."
He said the current economic landscape makes the conference even more relevant.
"Although BEYA's goals and objectives remain the same as when the STEM conference started almost 30 years ago," Taborn said, "the competitive landscape of world economies has changed. To drive productivity and prosperity, the U.S.A. need many more engineers and scientists than ever to compete globally."
He said organizers hope to draw more Blacks into STEM careers.
"As you know, the underrepresentation of Blacks in STEM careers [has] deep historical roots, but as career opportunities open up, more Black freshmen are showing an intention to major in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields," he said, citing data from Science and Engineering Indicators, a study on global science and engineering enterprise.
"Currently, [HBCUs] are leading the way in graduating Black engineers, helping students graduate with bachelor's degrees in STEM fields and go on to a subsequent phase of the STEM career path," he added.
African-Americans have been making significant contributions in STEM for generations. Granville T. Woods was a railroad worker when he became interested in engineering. Using books he asked White acquaintances to check out for him, because Blacks were not allowed to use public libraries at the time, he taught himself details of concepts had picked up from White rail workers.
Woods later attended college and invented several electrical mechanisms, including a system that helped prevent accidents by warning engineers how close they were to other rail cars. He held more than 50 patents in his lifetime.
Elijah McCoy learned mechanical engineering as an apprentice in Scotland. When he was unable to find work, he, too, took a job with a railroad company. He invented a system that allowed train parts to lubricate themselves as the train ran; previously, the work had to be done by hand after the train stopped. In 1920, McCoy founded the Elijah McCoy Manufacturing Company, where he invented everything from the folded ironing board to the lawn sprinkler.
Garrett A. Morgan invented the gas mask and the automatic traffic signal.
Tabron said BEYA has partnered with programs such as Maryland Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement, or MESA, which "seeks to target students who are traditionally underrepresented in these fields—specifically minority and female students."
"Maryland MESA, a [grade] 3-12 STEM initiative, works to identify and support students statewide in order to prepare them to matriculate and graduate from a two-year and/or four-year college or university with a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics," Taborn said.
The conferences includes several events geared to young people, including a job fair with top employers around the country in STEM-oriented companies; STEM career advice; a mentoring program; and an awards dinner. Workshops for young people included "All Work and No Play? Tools and Tips for Navigating Through Academic Pressures" and "Back to School Night: Getting into Graduate School 101."
Hrabowski said he has worked for 40 years to push African Americans into the STEM area. In the last 25 years, he has urged students to pursue advanced degrees in engineering. He said his college is offering a more hands-on approach in its courses, and doing less lecturing.
"Just as many Blacks aspire to be engineers as Whites and Asians, but a small percentage actually succeed," he said. "Twenty percent of Blacks and Hispanics who pursue a math or science degree don't do well in their first year courses. We are working on improving preparation. We are rethinking how we teach and learn math and science courses. We call first-year courses 'weed-out courses.' At UMBC we have figured out a way to help more students succeed."
Scheduled events at the BEYA STEM Conference include the Stars & Stripes Dinner on Feb. 8, which will highlight the military's contribution to STEM; the Student Leaders Dinner on Feb. 8, where "future leaders in the STEM community are showcased," according to the organization's website, BEYA.org. The event will culminate in the black-tie BEYA Gala, nicknamed the "Oscars of the STEM industry," scheduled for Feb. 9.

Hi there. First post, so let me start by saying that Zimbra almost seems to good to be true. I've been trying Open-Xchange, and altough Zimbra has less features, the ones it has are just marvelous.
That been said, here comes the question.
I wonder if it is possible to have several users acessing the same mailbox. I'm not looking for the mailing list feature, but something like calendar sharing, only being applied to mailboxes. In M$ Exchange i know it can be done ( we use it), and that's one of the issues delaying our pilot instalation.
Any help, considerations, are welcome.

I am an absolute newbie to Zimbra and a non-coder. I had a couple of questions, which I thought I would ask the community:
1) I love the feature set of Zimbra Open Source Edition. I run a very small online blog with 4-5 collaborative workers. Can I install zimbra on my server (its, as of now, shared Linux server)?
2) For a non-techie, is it very complicated to run and administer?
3) Is it advisable for a small team like mine? I would like to use the email, calendar and collaboration features...

Re: One More Reason Bed Bugs More Popular Than Congress
there is a way to prevent this business of secretly inserting items into legislation. when a bill is drafted it is sent back to the Senator or Representative for him or her to confer with legislators and negotiate. Then when the draft is finished it is given to the clerk of the House who puts into the "hopper" where it is assigned a number, sent to the government printing office who alerts the Library of Congress who then puts it on Thomas.gov, the public website where you and I can see it.
The solution is that as soon as leglslative services drafts a bill it is instantly put on the Thomas.gov site and every twist and turn is put on that site, complete with RSS reader tracking every change. That way the public would have a chance to view it and the activists amongst us could alert us to any unsavory developments.
We spend too much time worrying about the money and too little about the flow of information. It is the secrecy that makes all this possible.

i just dont want my sole source of knowledge on the subject to be god's ramblings
i cant wait til summer when i wont have classes for once and can actually read things again
GOD I read some of Marx's books (Gotha Programme, Civil War in France, and some of Das Kapital) and I honestly can't see why you don't like his work. I usually can't read books and what have you, but Marx (And Engels) is so straightforward and information dense that it's hard to put it down
i thought the communist manifesto was readable and more or less interesting but kapital was a chore, and i havent tried anything beyond that
If you're planning on reading anything beyond that, I'd recommend the Civil War in France. Although it's more of an overview of the Paris Commune, it's definitely worth reading if you know nothing about that chapter of history

Dr. Paul Wegner grew up in Iowa as the son of a pastor, and as a child remembers many hours spent either playing or working around the church. After graduation from high school, Paul attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois where he majored in Pastoral Training.
He then completed two degrees at Trinity Divinity School. While working on his second degree, Paul met Cathy and they married about a year later. In the last couple of years at Trinity, Paul taught a beginning Hebrew class and found that he really enjoyed teaching. Thus the couple headed to England for doctoral studies.
Paul graduated from Kings College, University of London in 1991 and began teaching at Moody Bible Institute. He taught there for about thirteen years in the Bible department and then became Professor of Old Testament at Phoenix Seminary in 2001, where he remained for about eleven years.
Paul has written several articles and has the following books in print: The Journey from Texts to Translations: The Origin and Development of the Bible (Baker Academic, 2004); A Student's Guide to Textual Criticism: It's History, Methods, and Results (IVP, 2006); and Using Old Testament Hebrew in Preaching: A Guide for Students and Pastors (Kregel Academic, 2009). He is currently revising
Walter C. Kaiser, A History of Israel
(Louisville: Broadman and Holman).
Recently Paul got a chance to work on the new ESV Study Bible, specifically working on the notes for Habakkuk, Daniel, and an article on the Reliability of the Old Testament. In addition, he has delivered many lectures and papers for academic and popular audiences. His specialty is the book of Isaiah, and he is currently under contract with IVP to write an updated commentary on Isaiah for the distinguished Tyndale Old Testament Commentary series (forthcoming 2015).

Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells to Intestinal Fates
The roughly 25 feet of intestine in the adult human play numerous essential roles in daily life, such as nutrient absorption, secretion of hormones, and serving as a barrier to infection. Commensurate with these diverse roles, diseases of the intestine are a considerable source of human morbidity and mortality. Indeed, numerous pathologic conditions including inflammatory bowel diseases, mesenteric ischemia, congenital syndromes and trauma, with or without concomitant intestinal resection, all impair intestinal function to the extent that "short-gut" syndromes develop—resulting in effective intestinal failure. Current therapies rely on supportive measures such as total parenteral nutrition, in which patients receive all of their nutrition intravenously, or even intestinal transplantation.
The adult intestine is populated by specialized but highly active intestinal stem cells, which ideally could be harnessed for stem cell therapies of these disabling conditions. However, despite intensive research, no methods currently exist for identifying, isolating, and growing these intestinal stem cells for therapeutic purposes.
Our goal is to develop technologies enabling human embryonic stem (hES) cells to be reliably converted to intestinal cells in culture. Human ES cells can be readily grown in culture but represent a completely undifferentiated tabula rasa. Here, we propose studies to convert hES cells to intestinal stem cells and thence to mature intestinal cells. Towards this goal, we have developed the first methodology to induce intestinal cells to divide and expand as cultures, or "explants" outside of the body. This success has been reliant on the provision in our explants of a nutritive "niche", a specialized area in which signals conductive to intestinal stem cell survival are highly concentrated. In this proposal, the hES cells will be placed in this niche of our explant culture, amidst signals that would promote their conversion from a naïve state into intestinal stem cells and their mature progeny. We will further refine these methods by coaxing hES cells along the first steps towards intestine prior to placing them in the explant niche, as well as by adding hormones to encourage growth of intestinal cells. The use of hES cells could greatly enhance the growth of our explant cultures, vastly expanding the yield of cultured intestine.
The therapeutic applications of this work are clear. The combination of ES cell technology along with our explant culture system holds considerable promise for the eventual generation of large quantities of intestinal stem cells, or even artificial intestine. Hopefully, these will yield effective therapies for the numerous conditions resulting in effective intestinal failure, for which currently available therapies are decidedly suboptimal.
The proposed research will develop new human embryonic stem cell-based technologies enabling the robust propagation of intestinal tissue and its associated stem cells outside of the human body, in laboratory culture. These studies have implications for the treatment of disabling conditions of the intestinal tract including inflammatory bowel disease, mesenteric ischemia and congentital intestinal disorders.
The human intestine participates in a tremendous array of processes that are essential for daily life, including absorption of nutrients, secretion of hormones, and function as an immune organ against bacteria, viruses and parasites. Because of this, diseases of the intestine such as inflammatory bowel diseases, mesenteric ischemia, congenital short gut syndromes and trauma can produce severe disability and even mortality. In extreme cases where the degree of intestinal compromise is extremely severe, patients may need receive all of their nutrition intravenously, or even undergo intestinal transplantation. The purpose of this research is to induce human embryonic stem cells to develop into intestinal derivatives, to provide a replacement tissue these disorders of severe intestinal dysfunction.
The first goal has been to place human embryonic stem cells into a nurturing enviroment, or niche, where they would be exposed to the same signals that intestinal cells receive in the human body. Accordingly, human embryonic stem cells have been injected into cultures of mouse intestine in which such signals are operative. Under these conditions, the embryonic stem cells incorporate adjacent to the mouse intestine as well as to supporting stromal cells, and undergo a dramatic change in morphology, although they do not acquire an intestinal identity. Injections of embryonic stem cells that have been induced to become endoderm, a precursor tissue to the intestine, appear more encouraging. The second goal has examined the ability of stimulation of the Wnt pathway to induce intestinal growth and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. These studies have confirmed that Wnt pathway stimulation greatly promotes growth of intestinal cultures, suggesting that such a strategy could feasibly promote the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to become intestine. Finally, the third goal is to develop niches for intestinal differentiation of human embryonic stem cells that are fully comprised of mouse tissue. Here, a variety of strategies of tissue preparation and culture are under evaluation.

Veteran's Day falls in November, but Oakland Heights Elementary School chose Wednesday morning to honor those from the community who have served in the military.
The program was called "The Value of Freedom." It focused on the gifts that veterans have given.
"In November, of course, that's when veterans are typically honored. But we chose December because the gift of freedom, what better time to celebrate, than December," said Dr. Kim Benton, principal of Oakland Heights.
Men from several branches of the military came to the school's first-ever celebration of veterans. They all said they are thankful for what the students were doing.
Donald Neece is a Vietnam veteran. He said he believes programs like this help children understand more about the sacrifice that many men and women make.
"I'm thankful for the recognition that all veterans deserve," said Neece.
Students attending the celebration learned that freedom is not free and that it truly is a gift.
"Freedom means doing what you want and not what you have to do," said Oakland Heights student, Joseph Faulkner.
"Freedom means veterans help us live, and without them, we wouldn't be here," said Latisha Davis, also a student at Oakland Heights.

Last Day to See Naked Art (Yep, Like Naked People)
Fall arts are in full force and if there's one "out there" performance you should give a go, it's The Symmetry Project Study #19: Solo Medi(t)ations/Intersections. Presented by Gravity dance-theater at Intersection for the Arts, this live-art fluid installation will be on view for two days only (Tuesday, 9/22 and Wednesday, 9/23). Nothing short of an otherworldly experience, what you see is all you'll get—two naked bodies, one male and one female, negotiating improvisational movement of bodies in space and time. The only rule: self-imposed symmetrical movement, relative to themselves or to each other.

Tightrope walker
Politics | Rick Santorum says faith-aided growth is moving him from angry U.S. senator to authentic presidential candidate
WASHINGTON-Rick Santorum is "more like me" than Mitt Romney is, Ohio voters are telling reporters. The former senator is "basically down to earth," they say. But Santorum says that to maintain that connection he needs to take chances: "The best way for me to do that is to get out there on a tightrope without a net and let folks see what we are really all about."
That's what the former senator from Pennsylvania told me during a Feb. 20 interview when I asked him what underlies his current appeal. "People are looking for someone who is authentic. Not necessarily people agreeing with everything I say, but they know where I am going to be. They know I believe what I am saying. I'm not saying it because it's popular today ... and that resonates with folks."
Santorum was taking media heat in the second half of February for plain-spoken comments he's made-some during this campaign, some years ago-about contraception, homosexuality, Satan, schooling, traditional marriage, and much beside. He's walking the tightrope. But what's been missing from the candidate largely known for his sleeveless sweater vests is the attitude that once gave him the nickname Senator Slash.
Santorum's transformation from a firebrand Senator to a more thoughtful but still "authentic" presidential candidate apparently started with a pruning by both personal and professional losses. "Spiritual maturity takes place when someone has to experience more dependency on God rather than the sort of self-sufficiency that can be felt when you're on top of the world (as a) new freshmen senator," said Mark Rodgers, Santorum's former chief of staff.
The Senator Slash moniker originated soon after a 36-year-old Santorum became the Senate's youngest member in 1995, but his fighting nature wasn't new: High-school classmates nicknamed him "Rooster," and as a young Pittsburgh lawyer Santorum lobbied for the World Wrestling Federation. As a two-term congressman, Santorum helped force the release of the names of lawmakers who had bounced checks at the House of Representatives bank.
Less than two months after joining the Senate, Santorum took on a senior member of his own party, Mark Hatfield, who chaired the powerful Appropriations Committee. When Hatfield cast the decisive vote against a balanced budget constitutional amendment, Santorum pushed to strip Hatfield of his committee chairmanship.
The head of the committee responsible for doling out federal money to Pennsylvania wasn't Santorum's only target. He regularly entered the decorum-ruled Senate floor with a provocative chart that read, "Where's Bill?" He referred to then-President Bill Clinton as "that guy" during speeches attacking Clinton's budget policies.
Santorum's rhetoric outraged liberals and guardians of Senate tradition. "It's about time the freshmen members of this body come into it with a bit of humbleness," protested Sen. James Exon, D-Neb. Santorum responded with a complaint about the "aristocratic" Senate "with all this grandeur."
"They need someone who is going to try and rock the boat around here a little bit," Santorum told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Santorum's in-your-face ways yielded results: He took the Republican lead in the Senate during the welfare reform effort, often managing floor debates against veteran liberal Ted Kennedy. Santorum also became the third-ranking Republican in Senate leadership. Today, nearly 20 years older, he admits he didn't defend his views in the best way.
"I was a young hard charger, frustrated like a lot of folks who have an idealism about what American politics should be," Santorum told me. "That we should talk about high and lofty things. And when you come to Washington, D.C., and find out that isn't really the case, I think it rubbed me the wrong way and probably caused me to say some things and do some things that were more intemperate. That's unfortunate."
Something else was happening to Santorum back in the mid-1990s, and it occurred away from the C-SPAN cameras. Santorum says he went to the Senate and found God: "I had certainly been a Christian ... but it really wasn't the center part of my life. I mean that personal relationship and that center focus of what is the driver in your life every day and in every aspect of your life."
This started to change when Santorum began to attend a Senate Bible study led by then-Senate chaplain Lloyd John Ogilvie and to go to a church in northern Virginia with his wife, Karen.
He said he heard the gospel "like I had never heard it before. That combination for both Karen and me in our personal lives and for me in my professional life was just exactly what I needed at the time to grow in my faith."
Santorum said he began to believe God had a purpose for him to be in the Senate. He found that reason in the battle over legislation to ban partial-birth abortion. Santorum led the Senate floor debates in unsuccessful attempts to override Clinton's 1995 and 1997 vetoes of the measure. The bill banning partial-birth abortions became law under President George W. Bush in 2003.
In the midst of the partial-birth abortion debates, the sanctity of human life became personal for Santorum. His infant son, Gabriel, was born prematurely in 1996 and died within a couple of hours. Santorum tried to pray for understanding. "I was angry," he told an Iowa audience last year. "I had committed myself to the Lord. I was doing the brave and heroic thing of standing up for life, risking my political career in Pennsylvania, and this was my answer: You take my son."
That self-confessed anger showed up in public appearances, others noticed. Michael Geer, president of Pennsylvania Family Council, said Santorum knew he had a reputation for being arrogant, and "I've witnessed that myself at times and seen people not react well to it."
Santorum won reelection in 2000 but lost by 18 points in 2006, the biggest loss ever for an incumbent Pennsylvania Republican senator. Democrats tied him to an unpopular George W. Bush and ran against him State Treasurer Bob Casey Jr., the son of popular former governor Robert Casey Sr. Casey campaigned as a pro-life candidate, nullifying Santorum's social issue edge.
"Losing wasn't the worst thing that ever happened to me," Santorum told me, because it forced him to "look at myself. I don't think I was as nice of a person as I could have been or as kind to others as I should have been. I think there was a lot of focus on that I was doing important things and just was moving and rushing. I am not going to get in that trap again."
Geer of the Pennsylvania Family Council agrees: "His defeat that year was something that really taught him some lessons and really humbled him in a way that I think makes him a much better candidate now in terms of how to deal with other people."
In 2008 Santorum confronted another personal challenge that both softened him and reaffirmed his pro-life stance. When Karen at age 48 became pregnant with their eighth child, doctors recommended an abortion after a sonogram revealed that the baby had a rare genetic disorder that often proves fatal. But the Santorums rejected the idea, and Karen gave birth to Isabella in 2008.
Now 3 years old, Bella has defied the odds. "What we've gone through here with our little girl Bella has ... gentled my condition a little bit," said Santorum, who temporarily left the campaign trail in late January when a sick Bella had to be hospitalized: "When she gets just a cold that's a life-threatening occurrence, and it's very stressful. That definitely has had an impact on how I see my professional career, period. It just creates a real heart for those on the margins of society at least as society sees them on the margins of society."
Now that Santorum has a spot on the race's center stage, he is facing intensifying scrutiny about both his past and his beliefs: Accepts too many earmarks. Pushes for subsidies for dairy farmers. Lacks executive experience. News stories are spotlighting Santorum's criticism of Roe v. Wade and his defense of stay-at-home moms in his 2005 book, It Takes a Family.
Another firestorm erupted over Santorum's Feb. 18 comments that President Barack Obama's goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions is "not about your quality of life. It's not about your jobs. It's about some phony ideal. Some phony theology. Oh, not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology." Democrats accused Santorum of attacking Obama's faith. Santorum responded that he was criticizing an environmentalist worldview that elevates the Earth above man.
The scrutiny of Santorum will increase as voters in 10 states head to the polls for Super Tuesday on March 6. I asked Santorum if he would resurrect his Senator Slash image to survive: "I am not going to ignore when someone says some things that are completely out of line," he said. "We are not going to be a punching bag. We are gong to stand up and defend our record."
That may not be a direct answer to the question, but sometimes pictures speak louder than words. The Santorum campaign uploaded an ad to YouTube on Feb. 14, Valentine's Day no less, in which a Romney look-alike carrying a mud-spewing machine gun stalks a cardboard cut-out of Santorum.
The ad, called "Rombo" and which also aired in Michigan, ends when a mud blast lands on the Romney actor's white dress shirt. Then Santorum gives the familiar line: "I approve this message."
The Friess factor
Hedge fund manager and Christian philanthropist Foster Friess puts big money behind Santorum
By Warren Cole Smith
"I can't tell you how thrilled I am, how much fun I'm having," said Foster Friess. And why shouldn't he? Friess, his money, and his evangelical friends have helped to propel Santorum from also-ran to frontrunner in the last 90 days.
Since December, Friess, 71, has made four donations totaling $1 million to the Red, White and Blue Fund, a pro-Santorum super PAC. The fund raised $2 million in January, according to recent disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission. That's more than double what the political action committee took in during all of 2011.
Friess is not Santorum's only top donor: William Dore, president of Louisiana-based Dore Energy Corp., also has given $1 million to the Red, White and Blue Fund. Overall, the super PAC has directed more than $3.4 in expenditures toward promoting Santorum.
Friess made his money managing other people's money. Friess Associates began in 1974 and, like Santorum's campaign, got off to a slow start. But his flagship product, the Brandywine Fund, was a top performer in the 1990s. Friess Associates gained more than $15 billion in assets. He sold 51 percent interest in the firm to investors in 2001 for $247 million. Friess says he is a "billionaire wanna-be." Wealth-X, a research firm, says his net worth is $530 million.
A Christian since 1978, Friess has been a long-time supporter of conservative and Christian causes. His charity of choice is Water Missions International, a South Carolina-based relief organization that provides engineering for clean water in underdeveloped countries. He donated and raised millions for disaster relief following Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Indonesian earthquake, and the 2010 Haitian earthquake. He's outspoken about his Christian faith and his philanthropy. "In the past two years," he said, "I've paid more than my total income in taxes and philanthropy."
Friess reportedly spent $3 million on Tucker Carlson's conservative website, The Daily Caller, and he's given at least $1 million to various Tea Party groups.
Friess typically gives his money in the form of challenge grants, using a robust rolodex to leverage his personal donations. But a freewheeling style sometimes gets him-and those he supports-in trouble. During the controversy over Obama's contraception mandate, Friess said, "In my days, they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn't that costly." He later apologized, saying the comment was a "joke that bombed."
Friess, who gave $250,000 to a political action committee that backed Santorum's failed Senate campaign in 2006, hasn't ruled out supporting others if Santorum leaves the race. But Friess thinks Santorum is in to stay: "Newt is a visionary. Romney is a manager. Paul is an ideologue. Rick Santorum is a servant," he said. "I believe people are looking for someone who wants to serve." - with reporting by Edward Lee Pitts

Going up to hunt goats in Unit 25 for the first time this year. We will probably have one member with a deer tag. Are the deer in this area located in the desert or the hills to the north end of the unit? On google earth it looks like there's a little bit of elevation at the north end of the unit. I just noticed last night that Eastmans's rates this a green (good) unit for elk. That surprised me a little as I expected it to be mostly desert terrain.
Also, if anybody has any thoughts on where to go for coyotes and prairie dogs it would be much appreciated. We hope to fill antelope tags quickly (even have a few doe tags) and then go play and scout down in 19 for elk.

Poor solubility remains a major challenge in formulation development. As the number of new chemical entities that are poorly soluble keeps increasing, formulation scientists are faced with the important task of addressing these solubility issues so that more compounds can be translated into clinically useful medicines. A popular approach to this problem is to use polymers as solubilizing excipients. Pharmaceutical Technology brought together a panel of industry experts for a special forum to discuss solubilizing polymers and the related formulation strategies for poorly soluble drugs. Participants include Michael Morgen, PhD, director of new technology at Bend Research; Brian Koblinski, strategic marketing manager at Dow Wolff Cellulosics; and Firouz Asgarzadeh, PhD, director of technical services, North America, pharma polymers & services at Evonik Corporation.
Chemical classes and physicochemical properties
Solubilizing polymers are used in many types of formulations, depending on the route of administration, dose, API properties, and specific delivery challenges associated with the particular development program. For oral delivery, solid amorphous dispersions can be an enabling formulation approach for improving the bioavailability of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Class II and IV compounds. Two common processes for making such dispersions are spray-drying and hot-melt extrusion (HME). Spray-drying can be used to form a monolithic dispersion particle or alternatively, the dispersion can be deposited onto a solid support to increase surface area and dissolution rate. Two-phase physical mixtures of polymer and crystalline API in a solid dosage form can be used to solubilize the API. For early scoping studies, liquid solutions of polymer (e.g., PEO) and the API may be valuable. In each case, the choice of formulation type and the manufacturing process will depend on the requirements of the specific drug-development program.
Koblinski (Dow): Cellulose-based polymers, such as hypromellose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS, also known as hypromellose acetate succinate) have high utility in solid dispersions. Their safety and low drug reactivity make them an ideal candidate for most drugs. Spray-dried dispersions (SDDs) and HME are the most common technologies for solubilization used with cellulosic polymers. Cellulosic polymers maintain stable solid dispersions, inhibit API crystallization, and can promote supersaturation of the drug. Options in viscosity and substitution levels both with HPMC and HPMCAS help a formulator to optimize performance in solubility enhancement as well as in material processibility, which includes postprocessing SDDs and HME formulations into traditional dosage forms such as tablets and capsules.
Asgarzadeh (Evonik): The chemical structure and physicochemical properties of APIs and polymers play a major role in the formation of polymer-API solid solutions. Poly(meth)acrylates, cellulosic polymers and PVP are extensively used in solid dispersion formulation development. Each class of polymers contains specific chemical bonds that can interact with specific groups on APIs. HME, SDD, and coprecipitation techniques transform poorly-soluble crystalline drugs into an amorphous, metastable, higher-state-of-energy structure dispersed in a polymer matrix that is more easily solubilized, leading to enhanced solubility. Strong hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions between the amorphous API and the polymer would inhibit or retard the recrystallization of the API even with polymers that have low glass-transition temperatures (Tg's). Because there is a myriad of API structures with different physicochemical characteristics, there is not one class of polymers that would be considered better solubilizers than others. It is essential to select appropriate polymers for screening studies based on a good understanding of both the polymer and drug structures and the possible interactions they may have.

Whatever keeps you from tripping over stuff. I always turn mine off and let my eyes adjust well before shooting light.
So this upcoming elk season is going to be my 2nd elk season and I am willing to learn anything and everything I can. I have been wondering this for a while and I haven't found an answer anywhere so I figured a forum would be best.
Does anyone have any thoughts on using your red light on your headlamp to help your 3/4am hikes a little easier into the back country? I don't know if this would be completely ridiculous or if it may actually work, so any thoughts are appreciated.
Whatever keeps you from tripping over stuff. I always turn mine off and let my eyes adjust well before shooting light.
Unless it is a totally moonless night or heavy timber with no ambient light, I prefer to let my eyes adjust to the dark. That being said there are times when it is so dark or the terrain is so bad that some light is a must. I agree with Bitterroot, anything that you are comfortable with is good. The military still uses red light so it can't be bad.

Thanks guys-
Using your red light helps maintain your visual purple at night and I think I will use it sparingly. My main concern was whether or not elk could see it or if it would spook them easily...
I'll let you know in two days I'm heading into the backcountry for a break and I all was bump into some elk.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
The elk can see very well at night..red lights would be seen by them quite easily. Being they are so different than white, it would be interesting to see how they react to the color differences though. Keep us posted Jen
I hunt because......
I am going to comment on this from my military experience. Using darker lights like reds do not allow your pupils to dialate and contract as much taking less time for you to see clearly and adjust. One advantage of using it. Will elk see it? Without a doubt. It is still light. We used colored lights on the flight deck for the reason I stated above and also that the colored light is absorbed into the atmosphere much easier. This making it less visible at longer distances. White light you can see for miles when unobstructed but a red not so much. I use red lights when hunting to preserve my night vision and to also allow the light to not be seen at longer distances. When you turn it on at first it is hard to get used too but after a few minutes your night vision corrects and you can see more than you think you could. Just my two cents.
I use white light, red light, whatever light when I'm hiking in the dark. When I get close to where I am going to start hunting I usually shut it off. If I'm hiking at 4 a.m. I know I've got a good amount of ground to cover, most of it I won't be hunting anyway - make your life easier and use the light.

Video: Hundreds Arrive To Assist Pepco Ahead Of Storm
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Pepco says it is preparing for the worst case scenario ahead of Wednesday's snowstorm.
Crews from Alabama and Georgia have begun to arrive in the D.C. area to assist in recovery efforts, Pepco said in a press release.
The release also stated that more than 450 line contractors and an additional 300 tree contractors are on hand.
"We are preparing for the possibility of widespread outages, and we ask our customers to prepare now as well," said Thomas H. Graham, president, Pepco Region.
Heavy, wet snow wreaked havoc on the power system during the blizzards of 2010, as trees gave way under the weight of snow.
Since then, PEPCO says its has trimmed trees along more than 5,000 miles of power right-of-ways.
"We are prepared," said spokesman Marcus Beal.
To report outages and/or downed wires call Pepco at 1-877-737-2662.

Exactly. There is NO DirecTV-approved promise or guarantee of any specific model.
Yes, some *individual CSRs* my violate company policy and promise you a specific model, but those CSRs are no more "right" than the McDonalds employee who makes you a burger with a 20-minute-expired burger patty. Does it happen? Yes, we all know it does. Is it *supposed to happen*? No. Is it sanctioned by the company? No.

Executive mansion ghost tales stir spirited discourse
The state's outgoing first lady, Susan Lynch, last week passed along some stories alleging strange goings-on in the Bridges House in East Concord. Tales of towels and tablecloths found out of place, piano music played with no musician present and female voices heard in empty rooms have some people saying they think the historic house is home to one, possibly two ghosts.
"They seem to be more mischievous than malicious," said Lynch. "They seem to move things around, unplug lights, and people have heard the sound of two women laughing. There appears to be a lot of activity in the master bedroom of the house."
The Bridges House, at 21 Mountain Road, was built in 1836 by Charles Graham. Although considered the official residence of the state's governor, few executives have actually made it their home.
Gov. John Lynch and his family have remained in their home in Hopkinton during his four terms in office. Gov.-elect Hassan has said she and her family will continue living in their home in Exeter after she takes the oath of office on Thursday. Republican Gov. Meldrim Thomson of Orford and Democratic Gov. Hugh Gallen of Littleton were the only two governors to have officially taken up residence at Bridges.
The house recently underwent an extensive renovation and expansion, paid for through donations and grants. It opened to the public this holiday season as a show house, spotlighting state treasures, art and furniture from New Hampshire craftsmen.
Mrs. Lynch said many of the contractors working on the house related unusual occurrences.
"I almost think the work may have stirred things up there a bit," said Lynch. "There was an HVAC worker who said he heard women laughing in the master bedroom while he was working in a closet there.
"Another one had a brand-new power tool refuse to start when he tried to use it in the basement, but it would start in other places. Then he was able to start it, and it cut out about halfway through cutting a pipe. He looked over and saw the plug pulled from the wall, even though there was plenty of extension cord coiled on the ground. He didn't pull it out of the outlet himself."
"The ghosts, whoever they are, don't seem interested in causing any damage," said Cindy McLaughlin, a Friends of the Bridges House board member and head designer for the home's renovation project. "I'm sure they could if they wanted to, but they just act in a mischievous way. I have spent a good amount of time in the house the last few years, and I can tell you they are there."
McLaughlin says she has noticed something odd in the house on a few occasions.
"I was in the master bedroom, and this cold chill just came over me," she said. "It's not like a cold breeze, but just like the cold descends on you, sapping your energy. You can feel it happening. Another time, I heard the sounds of a woman walking across the bedroom while I was on the floor below, but there was no one else in the house."
Monogrammed towels play a role in some stories.
"There are towels in a bathroom which have the initials of Dolores Bridges on them," said McLaughlin.
"We'll find them in the tub and across the room near the toilet when no one has been in the house. We put them back in place, and they move again. And they are always positioned so the letters are facing down, so you can't see them, like it's done purposely."
"I have heard the stories," said Bridges House Executive Director Kenneth Moulton. "I haven't encountered any ghosts myself, but I know that quite a few say they have. It's an interesting part of the history of the house that not many people know about."
McLaughlin said she and others wouldn't be surprised if the unexpected laughter some say they have heard resembled what might have been characteristic of the mother of Sally Clement, Gov. Bridges' second wife.
"I don't know her first name, but there are stories that she didn't get along with Gov. Bridges' third wife, Dolores," said McLaughlin.
"That could explain the monogram towels always ending up face down. Some say Dolores enjoyed playing the piano, which could explain that playing briefly by itself. But the truth is we really don't know.''
There are those, however, whose personal experience does not support suggestions the house is haunted.
Peter Thomson, coordinator for the New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency and son of Gov. Thomson, can't recall any scary stories from his days in the house.
"My family probably spent more time there than anyone, but I can't say I have heard anything about a ghost," said Thomson.
"I'm sure if my parents had seen anything, they would have shared it with me, but they never mentioned anything. There were times I would stay there, and I never saw or heard anything like a ghost."
Ray Burton, who has served on the state's Executive Council since 1977, also hasn't heard any ghost stories involving the Mountain Road property.
"I have been on the council for 34 years, and now it's on to my 10th governor," said Burton.
"I've spent a lot of time in that house and attended a lot of events there, but I can't say I've seen anything while I was there," he said.
Marc Goldberg, a spokesman for Hassan, said the incoming governor was unaware of the stories.
With any change in leadership, there is uncertainty over what the future may hold for the Friends of Bridges House, ghosts or no ghosts.
"We are taking a wait-and-see approach," said Moulton. "We expect to hear in the next 30 to 45 days what the governor-elect's plans for Bridges House are."
Fundraising efforts are expected to continue, and both Susan Lynch and McLaughlin have expressed a desire to remain on as board members.
"I have a lot invested in this project," said Lynch. "I'd like to see someone else take over as president of the board, but I want to stay on."
"Governor-elect Hassan believes the renovations made to Bridges House impressively reflect the beauty and rich history of New Hampshire and feels that the space will serve the state well for official functions," said Goldberg. "The governor-elect and her husband, Tom, plan to continue supporting the preservation of the historic house by working with the nonprofit Friends of Bridges House."
McLaughlin said she has been too busy in recent months to hire anyone to look into the veracity of the ghost stories. With the prep work done on the house for the season, however, she has made initial contact with a Massachusetts company about possibly coming in sometime soon.
"It's not just one person saying something strange has happened there," said McLaughlin. "It's more like 12 or 15 people. It's an interesting story, and it would be great to know if they are actually here."

Not really a fan of these but I went with Orko, Mantenna, She-Ra, Sorceress and Mer-Man.
Shadow Weaver
Queen Angella
Ram Man
King Randor
Kobra Khan
Moss Man
Other (please explain)
Comic Images has made Super Deformed Plush "Dolls" out of He-Man, Skeletor, Battle Cat, Beast Man, and Trapjaw. If they were to make more, who would you like to see be the next 5 characters?
Not really a fan of these but I went with Orko, Mantenna, She-Ra, Sorceress and Mer-Man.
"Oh Lord, Bless this M&M... and the mighty cockroach I slain in battle to get it." - Al Bundy
Orko, Mer-Man, She-Ra, Hordak, and MAA.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Instagram & Snapchat: Just_Thommy
I TOTALLY want them to do Swift Wind. The Battle Cat plush is my favorite of the ones released so far, and he's hilarious. SW would be as well
My choices:
Swift Wind
Shadow Weaver
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...
Orko, Imp, and Grizzlor would rock. I threw in Kowl and Kobra Kahn as humans don't translate as well as creatures do.....although Mer Man slipped my mind and I would prefer him to Kowl.
My Trader Feedback: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...mighty-He-Dad!
These have won me over - I was keen at first.
I voted for Evil-Lyn, Orko, Man @ Arms, Mer-Man and Hordak - these will likely all be based on Filmation too.
MOTUC WISHLIST - Karg | Lady Slther | Kothos | Staghorn | Sorceress of Serpos Teela | Hunga the Harpy | Kittrina | Dylamug | Hawke | Angast | Zilora | Artilla | Quakke | Robo-Woman | Great Black Wizard | Enchantress | Red Beast | Delora | DC He-Man | DC Skeletor | Lodar | Fang-Or | Mini Comics Tri-Klops | Filmation Jitsu, Frosta & Kobra Khan | Hans Hammer Holder | Granita |
I think these guys could work well:
MOTUC NA Most Wanted: Kayo, Vizar, Hoove, Lizorr
UK MOTU Fan Club Members - Add You Member Name to this Thread
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
Shadow Weaver
Moss Man
Other (Stinkor, complete with stink)
I'd also have given Grizzlor a runners up. I think the figures with the odd textures, spikes, robes, and smells would make the most interesting plushies.
Edit: Although I guess you could make your own Grizzlor by slapping a face on an existing tribble.
Teela, She-Ra, Glimmer, Angella, Catra. I'm not a fan of these, but if I'm gonna cuddle, I would rather cuddle with Teela or She-Ra than Man-At-Arms or King Randor.
I would buy Orko.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Orko would be my favorite hands down!
I would love a Stinkor too! (What can I say? Stinkor is my Mosquitor.)
my "other" vote was for Lookee. Think that is just fitting and pretty sweet.
Course she ra deserves her due. Catra (as her villian) skipping hordak.
Moss man would be fun fuzzy....
finally Ramman because, well he's so compact and filled out already, he'd be neat even boxier.
But basically, anyone. Orko is a great choice as well, for the same as lookee.
I went with: She-Ra, Hordak (totally envision these two happening), Sorceress (a strong possibilty IMO), Panthor (cause we got BC, Skele needs his pet to even things out) and Roboto ~ (a biased decision because it'll never happen).
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*200X ~ WMD Roboto/Sorceress *Filmation ~ Teela' Na/Hawke *Play-Sets ~ Eternia/Crystal Castle *Vehicles ~ Land Shark/Roton *Beasts ~ Stridor/Dragoon
I want a pine scented plush Moss Man.
Chapter 29
This is an important announcement. This is flight 121 to Los Angeles. If your travel plans today do not include Los Angeles, now would be a perfect time to disembark.
How about:
- Teela
- Man-At-Arms
- Orko
- Mer-Man
- Ram Man
......... ........
MOST WANTED MOTUC figures: Ice Armor He-Man, Sagitar, Master Sebrian, Snake Mountain Man, Filmation Mer-Man, NA Prince Adam, Dylamug, Fang-Or, Major Header, Granita, Great Black Wizard, Quakke, Delora/Hawke, Dree-Elle/Montork, Tuvar, Badrah, Disco Skeletor, Songster, & Stridor

WASHINGTON – Cleaning out the refrigerator is one of those chores nobody likes, especially folks who buy but don't eat what they purchase.
But families looking to stretch their food dollars have options.
Using airtight containers can keep food fresh longer. "Good Housekeeping" recommends Lock-Its from Rubbermaid, as well as Smart Snap from Ziploc.
Coolers are another option, especially for trips to the grocery store when stocking up on perishables and frozen foods. "Good Housekeeping" gives the Rubbermaid DuraChill 5-Day Cooler an "A" rating for staying cool more than 12 hours.
Another way to reduce the $600 a year the typical family tosses is to freeze food. Meat, bread and even cakes freeze well. Prepackaged frozen fruits and vegetables have the same nutrients as fresh ones.
And, for those who have never unpacked the slow cooker their Aunt Jane gave them for a wedding present, dig it out of the attic.
Slow cookers let users save both time and money, and planning dinner saves time. Families looking to save a couple of bucks can easily buy cheaper cuts of meat and dress them up using tasty recipes on Pinterest and other Internet sites.

When you successfully submit your application to Barnard College, the Common Application dashboard will confirm that it has been submitted. Also check your Common Application dashboard to ensure you have submitted your writing supplement and application fee.
Here's what happens on our end: Shortly after we receive your supplementary application materials at Barnard (online or via mail), each required credential is "tracked" separately. We record the date that it was tracked and enter the names of your recommenders into our system. We will track each testing subscore separately, but will use your self reported scores until the official results are processed, so we're not delayed in our reading process by a score report delay.
Once we receive your actual application, a "tracking" email is sent to you, with a unique login for the links below, allowing you to "track" received materials via our online system. Use this system to note when materials have been tracked and to see if we are missing anything from your application. If pieces are tracked at different times, that's okay. We can't read all the applications at the same time, and we don't admit based upon when we read your application. We will contact you directly if we have any questions about your application materials.
It may take a couple of weeks for you to receive a tracking email if you submitted your application at or near the deadline.
Track your first-year application here
Track your transfer/visiting application here
You will not receive an automatic reply from us the minute you hit send on your application. We need a little time to process what we have received and ensure that information is correctly entered into our information system. (Around deadline times, a little time might be 2-3 weeks!) Please be sure to check your common application sent information to confirm that you have sent your application, supplement, and payment or fee waiver request to confirm that you have sent these materials. Thank you in advance for your patience!
If you have questions, feel free to be in touch with us; but please do not panic about missing materials. Leave ample time for documents to be received, opened or printed, and tracked before contacting us, your school, or those who may have sent recommendations.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Raul Ibanez woke up a silent Yankee Stadium in
the ninth inning, then made it erupt in the 12th. Ibanez, pinch-hitting for a
struggling Alex Rodriguez in the ninth, tied the game with a solo homer off
Jim Johnson and three innings later sent a Brian Matusz offering into the
second deck in right field to give the New York Yankees a wild 3-2 victory
over the Baltimore Orioles. The dramatic turnaround gave the Yankees a 2-1
lead in the American League Division Series after the clubs split a pair in
Baltimore. The Orioles had won an unfathomable 16 straight extra-inning games
and had not suffered a walk-off loss all season.

Cass Freight Index is up in November
December 02, 2010
The November edition of the Cass Information Systems Index pointed to an uptick in freight growth following a decline in October. The index, which measures the number of shipments and expenditures that are processed through Cass's account payable systems, has been up in seven of the last nine months.
November shipments at 1.088 were up 2.8 percent compared to October's 1.058 and represent the seventh straight month shipments have been more than 1.0, with May's 1.014 shipment mark being the first time shipments topped 1.0 since November 2008. November shipments were up 15.3 percent year-over-year.
November shipment expenditures at 1.989 were up 0.7 percent compared to October's 1.976 and were up 19.8 percent compared to November 2009.
As LM has previously noted, many trucking industry executives and analysts consider the Cass Freight Index as an accurate barometer of freight volumes and market conditions, with Credit Suisse analyst Chris Ceraso stating in research notes that the Cass Freight Index sometimes leads the American Trucking Associations (ATA) tonnage index at turning points, which lends to the value of the Cass Freight Index.
The ATA recently reported that its advance seasonally-adjusted (SA) For-Hire Truck Tonnage index was up 0.8 percent in October, following a revised 1.8 percent increase in September. The ATA also reported that its not seasonally-adjusted index (NSA), which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by fleets before any seasonal adjustment, hit 112.9 in October for a 0.3 percent gain from September. Compared to October 2009's 109.6 NSA, the October 2010 NSA is up 3.3 percent.
These Cass and ATA numbers represent an economic picture that has been cloudy for several months, with signs of optimism one month tempered by negative news the next. But with Black Friday Weekend sales showing signs of life, coupled with solid October retail numbers, there may be at least some guarded cause for optimism for future freight volumes at least in the short-term.
This type of sentiment was also apparent at last month's TransComp expo in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, with carriers and freight brokers telling LM they are seeing increased signs of demand in recent weeks.
"It may be a seasonal effect, but it is clear things are picking up on a sequential basis lately, but there is still a long way to go to really get back to where things were before the downturn," a truckload carrier told LM at the event.

NRG® Rolling Stool with Removable Back Rest
Our Deluxe NRG Rolling Stool makes seated work so much more comfortable without emptying your pocket! Changing the chair height is as simple as pressing a lever - and you can do it while seated! Makes giving a seated massage or reflexology much easier.The rugged construction and pneumatic controls are designed for years of service.
This is a great chair. I would've loved to give it 5 stars, however it simply doesn't go low enough. It's great quality and a great value, but I wish it lowered just a bit more.
I was in love with this stool as soon as I sat in it. It was much more affordable than other stools that look the same. Within 48 hours I was ordering a second one for my wife. It keeps you in good posture and it's well made. I will most definitely buy more of these in the future.
I love it!!! The NRG rolling stool has a nice and quiet glide on tile,hard wood flooring & carpet. I would recommend this stool to my colleagues.
I've just recently ordered this and so I can't speak to long term use, but it's very comfy and easy to use, and a really nice quality with a large seat cushion. The person who assembeled it for me said it was easy enough to assemble as well.
after many many many years sitting in a little wrought iron dressing table chair, this chair makes all the difference! Back support, large padded seat, and when my beautician friend comes over to cut my hair, I can raise this chair to her hair cutting height!

Best Ski Vacations from New York
by Rob Story. Posted Dec 4th 2013 04:00 PM
Continue ReadingOn the whole, New Yorkers are surprisingly good skiers. And not just because, as the networks always show during the city's blizzards, people cross-country ski in Central Park. Remember that New York is also the global capital of high finance, whose practitioners have long embraced skiing, perhaps the most upper-crust sport not played at a country club. As long as Goldman Sachs perseveres, so will Aspen, Deer Valley and St. Moritz. And so will the small hills in the Catskill Mountains and the larger ones in New York's Adirondacks.

Summary:In the early 1960s, America was in the grip of Cold War paranoia. Calvin Webber was more paranoid than most and built his family a huge bomb shelter. Mistaking a plane crash for a nuclear attack, he moved his family to the shelter, where son Adam was born and spent the first 30 years of his life. When Adam finally emerges, he knows nothing of the contemporary world. He is a man out of time. Then he meets Eve: young, feisty and cynical, she is definitely a woman of her time. But the more Eve watches Adam's innocence and incomprehension of the strange world around him, the more she begins to find herself falling in love.
