Today's examination of the exit polls in the pop-culture world finds social media front and center, chatter about Diane Sawyer, a grumpy Donald Trump, Beyonce, other things, and the mystery music video.
SORRY, BIEBS: POTUS moves to the top of the charts, per E!, "President Barack Obama didn't just clinch a win against Mitt Romneyhe snagged a huge victory over Justin Bieber, too! His celebratory tweet "Four more years," which went up right after TV networks projected him the winner of the 2012 election, edged out a tweet by Biebs to become the most retweeted post of all time." http://eonli.ne/Uwzqsi
MEANWHILE: The Donald isn't happy, per Entertainment Weekly, "Celebrities from both sides of the aisle agreed on one thing this election: Twitter was their site of choice to express their political beliefs, enthusiasm for the election and excitement or disappointment about the results. Donald Trump started out a long tirade of tweets with a call for revolution, but that particular tweet was deleted. He continued his rant with quotes from George Washington and slams on the electoral college system. But other reactions were more supportive of the President, from Andy Cohen's "mazel" to the "most retweeted tweet ever" from Obama himself." http://bit.ly/VBgpdZ
TRENDING: Tipsy, tired or what?, per the AP, "Diane Sawyer's Election Night performance left some viewers asking if she had begun celebrating Tuesday's election a bit early. Co-anchoring ABC News' coverage, the veteran journalist struck a different manner from her practiced, straight-news-delivering style." http://apne.ws/VT48gh
TEARS OF JOY: In an official capacity, per POLITICO, "Actress Eva Longoria got emotional when President Barack Obama was reelected Tuesday night. "I was in tears," Longoria, an Obama campaign co-chair, said Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "I thought it would be a longer night. So, we were prepared. And I was just in tears. And I was so excited because we did work very hard for the campaign." The "Desperate Housewives" star added that it was a victory for the middle class." http://politi.co/UkbrCq
BILL-O: Of stuff, per The Wrap, "Fox News host Bill O'Reilly said soon before President Obama's re-election that it reflected that "the demographics are changing, and it's not a traditional America" anymore. O'Reilly pointed to Obama's support among African-Americans, Hispanics and women, and said the president's supporters voted for him because they want "stuff." http://bit.ly/RHEE5B
CALCULATED CELEBRITY: Obama's team picked it spots, per TIME, "In late spring, the backroom number crunchers who powered Barack Obama's campaign to victory noticed that George Clooney had an almost gravitational tug on West Coast females ages 40 to 49. The women were far and away the single demographic group most likely to hand over cash, for a chance to dine in Hollywood with Clooney and Obama. So as they did with all the other data collected, stored and analyzed in the two-year drive for re-election, Obama's top campaign aides decided to put this insight to use." http://ti.me/RVWNuR
BEYONCE: She does this, per the Huffington Post, "It's safe to say Beyonce is happy that President Barack Obama was re-elected last night. After the fundraisers, the Obama earring, the letter of support she penned to the President -- and the fact she shared her absentee ballot that showed she had indeed voted for Obama -- we're not surprised by her reaction to his win against Mitt Romney. After learning the results of the election, the 31-year-old singer posted another photo to her Tumblr. On lined paper, she simply wrote: "TAKE THAT MITCHES." http://huff.to/U9cVcq
AND THIS: Per Entertainment Tonight, "Texas native Beyonce Knowles has joined Instagram and her first photo was in support of President Barack Obama. Queen B posted a pic of herself wearing a shirt that read: "Texans For Obama." http://bit.ly/MID3Mk
FLOTUS: What she wore, per People, "Four more years with President Barack Obama in the White House means four more years of amazing fashions from Michelle. The First Lady exercised her right to look stylish after the polls closed Tuesday night, wearing a pintucked magenta silk chine Michael Kors dress (she's a fan of the designer), House of Lavande Vintage brooch and black shrug for her husband's acceptance speech in Chicago." http://bit.ly/PWOuni
THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE ONE I LOVE: Of a song, per Celebuzz, "Mariah Carey is just one of the many famous faces celebrating President Barack Obama's re-election. But in true diva fashion, Carey decided to dedicate an entire song to the Obama family in honor of the president's re-election. Titled "Bring It on Home," the newly released song is a testament to the celebrity power behind the Obama campaign." http://bit.ly/PX9f2t
VINDICATION: A recurring theme, per The Hollywood Reporter, "President Barack Obama's clear victory Nov. 6 over Mitt Romney has both exhilarated and empowered Democratic activists in Hollywood. The exhilaration, of course, comes from the fact that, whatever their initial reservations about his first term, entertainment donors ultimately rallied solidly behind the president, giving at least $30 million to Obama's campaign, the Democratic Party and liberal super PACs." http://bit.ly/RVjP4Q
AND FINALLY: Today's mystery music video. http://bit.ly/Uh6pXk

About Us
English Heritage cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites - from world-famous prehistoric sites to grand medieval castles, from Roman forts on the edges of the empire to a Cold War bunker. Through these, we bring the story of England to life for over 10 million people each year. We are a charity, no. 1140351, and a company, no. 07447221, registered in England.Our history
Our Places
The historic places in our care span six millennia and include palaces, houses, hill figures, castles, abbeys, industrial sites, Roman forts and even deserted medieval villages. Caring for these places and their collections for the benefit of this and future generations is a cornerstone of everything we do. The generous support of many donors enables us to do this. We have now embarked on the largest conservation programme in our history. Highly skilled conservation work will be carried out on an unprecedented scale, and we will allow the public to witness this as it progresses.
Our Vision and Values
Gone are the days when people learned about history simply from reading books. People are increasingly looking for experiences that bring history to life in an engaging way and nothing beats standing on the spot where history happened. We offer a hands-on experience that will inspire and entertain people of all ages. Our work is informed by enduring values of authenticity, quality, imagination, responsibility and fun. Our vision is that people will experience the story of England where it really happened.
Our People
The skill, knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment of our staff and volunteers make English Heritage a special place to work. As a registered charity, we are governed by a board of trustees who delegate day-to-day responsibility for the running of the organisation to a senior management team. Sir Tim Laurence is Chairman of the board of trustees and Kate Mavor is Chief Executive. The range of roles and expertise we cover is immense and draws people from a wide range of sectors and backgrounds.
Our Priorities
With our new freedom as a charity, independent of government, our ability to engage with millions of people is now greatly strengthened. A major priority is to create inspirational visitor experiences that bring the story of England to life. We will also clear a backlog of all high-priority conservation defects, and develop our partnerships. Our target is to become completely self-funding by 2023. Our confidence in achieving this is based on our track record. During the past 10 years commercial income has doubled and we have raised nearly £60m in donated income.
Our History
From small beginnings towards the end of the 19th century, the collection of historic places now managed by English Heritage has grown to over 400, inspired by a determination to put England's heritage ahead of private interest. Originally set up as a government agency in 1983, English Heritage has now become a registered charity. The statutory functions of listing, planning, grants and heritage research and advice are now undertaken by a separate body, Historic England, which is a government service.
Job Opportunities at English Heritage
Being part of English heritage means working somewhere a little different. No matter what they do and where they do it, our people play a crucial role in protecting and presenting some of the greatest places in England for the benefit and enjoyment of all.

Yeoh (third left) officiating at the launch of the community library. With her are USJ 6 Residents Association chairman Sairin Salleh (left) and Ravandram (right).
THE Selangor state government should consider revising its low-cost housing specifications to create a more conducive environment for families, especially children, Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh said.
"Most families have to deal with cramped spaces, which is not conducive for children who want to study," said Yeoh, adding that the government should look into providing a common library or study area in future designs for low-cost flats.
She was speaking at the launch of a community library for children in Subang Perdana Goodyear Court 2, which comprises 12 blocks housing 760 units, in USJ 6. The library was the result of a collaboration between Yeoh's office and the joint management body (JMB).
Located within the premises, it is equipped with facilities including two computers with Internet connection, a printer, books and a space for group discussion and activities.
JMB chairman Ravandram Suppih said it would provide a quiet environment for the children to do their homework.
"They can also use the Internet for research and the printer for their school projects," he said, adding that it would be open from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm, and on weekends upon request.
The library will complement the tuition classes currently run by the Asian Youth Ambassadors (AYA), to provide better educational facilities for the children living there.
AYA spokesman Joel Rajkumar said the programme had been carried out in Goodyear Court 2 since 2011, and it sees young volunteers providing the children with Mathematics and English tuition classes every weekend.
They currently have 44 students from Primary One to Form Five.
Yeoh's office had contributed RM15,500 for the library and the AYA tuition programme.
Those who wish to donate computers, printers, stationery or other items to the library can call the JMB at 03-5621 9318.

On December 3rd, 2013, the Woodbury Branch hosted its Your Life Home--and it was quite a success!
Our goal was to have people come and share things they do for the holidays (whatever holiday it may be)--maybe recipes and/or decoration tips--whatever they wanted to share.

It's no secret the holidays can challenge even the most harmonious family relationships. Someone, somewhere, will be uttering "less is more" while dodging a dinner roll.

2010 PV Manufacturing Initiative Proposal (not funded)
Subject: US DOE Photovoltaic (PV) Manufacturing Initiative
Funding Opportunity: DE-FOA-0000237 (and 0000259)
Title: Great Lakes - University Photovoltaic Manufacturing Initiative
Funding: US DOE $3.0M per year for five years
Due: Oct 6, 2010
The Oakland University (OU) School of Engineering is assembling a collaboration with the University of Michigan (UM), Fraunhofer USA, Wayne State, and other universities, as well as for-profit companies engaged in the manufacture of PV materials/cells/panels, or in the process of developing, demonstrating, and commercializing innovative PV manufacturing technologies. Although the focus of efforts will be on thin film PV technologies, all types of PV materials, cells, modules, and system integration related to manufacturing will be considered for funding of sub-award projects. In addition, this PV initiative will also provide some portion of its resources to support education and training to support PV manufacturing and the entire industry. It is anticipated that some curricula development and workforce training will be undertaken to maximize job creation throughout the PV industry.
A concept paper was submitted to the DOE preliminary solicitation for a "PV Manufacturing Initiative" (PVMI) and received a favorable response; a grant proposal will be written by an OU/UM/Fraunhofer team for submission by October 6.
The OU CERC proposes the following collaborative effort to support and enhance the significant amount of PV manufacturing and innovation already underway in the State of Michigan. The basic concept is to create a structure wherein industry-expressed needs for solutions in the PV manufacturing sector will be funded as University R&D sub-awards under a five to ten year plan. This proposal will apply for approximately $3.0M / year grant from the Department of Energy for five years.
Below are some background documents for your review:
- Two page summary of the proposed collaboration, structure, and focus
- Five page concept paper submitted to the DOE in June 2010

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Monday, January 28, 2013 at 6:00 AM
Governor John Kasich is expected to reveal his plan to overhaul Ohio's school funding formula this week.
It's an issue lawmakers and the courts have tackled before.
Several times.
So what's wrong with the way we fund schools now?
[audio href="http://audio2.ideastream.org/statenews/2010/0125_school_funding_explaine..." title="You Guide to School Funding in Ohio"]Ohio has had a long history of trying to fix its school funding formula.[/audio]
The Ohio Constitution requires the state to provide a "thorough and efficient system of common schools" throughout the state.
What makes that difficult is the way we pay for our schools; most communities rely heavily on property taxes. In fact, about half of the average district's budget comes from local property taxes. The other half is made up of a mix of mostly state funds, and some federal funds.
That's why there are school levies on the ballot nearly every time you go to vote.
Since schools rely on those local dollars, there's a big difference between how much money schools in poor urban and rural areas have, compared to how much schools in wealthy suburbs have.
"It's obviously broken when you see so many districts year after year going back to the ballot for different things," says Nate DeRolph. "That's the test of time."
DeRolph was the face of the most well known attempt to fix Ohio's school funding problem. His case, DeRolph v. The State of Ohio, went all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court.
"Before the DeRolph decision local school buildings were built almost exclusively with local tax dollars and there were districts who could just not afford to build new buildings," says Gerald Stebelton (R - Lancaster). "The lower economy areas could not afford to build new buildings and a couple schools even had outdoor outhouses for their children."
The Ohio Supreme Court declared Ohio's school funding system unconstitutional, and told the legislature they should fix the funding formula. But, they could not force the legislature to do anything.
Over the years, the Supreme Court made largely the same ruling four times before it gave up and said it wouldn't take up the DeRolph case again.
The legislature may not have done what the Supreme Court wanted, but their decisions did have an impact.
Over the years lawmakers also tweaked the formula that helps pay for operating costs, sending more money to districts with poor students.
You'll have to wait a few more days to find out the entire details of Kasich's plan, but plenty of people have been guessing at what the proposal will look like.
"I'm hopeful that he will come out with a broad weighted student funding formula that allows for more local autonomy and local flexibility in decision-making, that tries to encourage more innovations but holds everybody responsible for outcomes," says Eric Hanushek of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He talked with Kasich last year when Kasich was trying to figure out how to fix school funding in Ohio.
Hanushek says it's unclear if the new school funding formula will mean more money for schools.
"I know that the administration in Ohio and probably almost every state in the union is committed to trying to improve their schools," Hanushek says. "That's something different than committed to spending a lot more money."
Many people think the governor's plan will create a different way of distributing money schools already getting, perhaps by sending more money to charter schools and voucher programs.
Some folks say that still won't fix the problems DeRolph's case highlighted.
The struggle for money is built into the system," says Robert Stabile, a former schools superintendent and author of the guidebook on Ohio school funding.
"You've got the schools who are consumers of tax dollars and you've got the residents out there who want their taxes to be low you've got the parents who constantly want more services, you know they want to bus to come closer to their home classes to be smaller more text books more opportunities for kids."

Also: I was curious how one would go about making more slots for attacks, items, abilities, etc on a FireRed hack. Thanks in advance.
If the Pokemon selection doesn't have an animation, then it is very much possible.
All you do is add 2 more pokeballs onto the map, then you just place the give pokemon script into those balls and there you go. You would obviously need to tell the player what Pokemon they make their choice on it. You could use the picture and cry commands to fit with it.
I don't know the script for this myself but you would get an answer from the
Script Help Thread
As for the extra attack slots, That isn't possible with scripts.
I don't think you can do that with ASM hacking. But I don't know a lot about ASM so I'm not 100% sure about it.
Might be worth looking into.
Currently working on a new Pokemon Hack with an in-depth story line!
That's about as much as you're going to get for now...

Has the PlayStation Vita Failed?
The Vita will turn a year old next month, and it feels like it'll be a quiet anniversary, unnoticed by most gamers--who will probably be busy playing Fire Emblem or Etrian Odyssey on their 3DSes instead of salivating over the latest hot Vita release.Read More

Unicorn Skyshark by greyanimebeastWatch
©2013-2016 greyanimebeast
Not as awsome as the other one but hey.
That's a small Skyshark compared to the other two, if that person to the right of him is supposed to be for scaling purposes. His entire tail fluff is... either a 10th or a 15th of his body length (I'm not exactly sure since I'm bad at math). Also, is that your sig on the inside of the skyshark's bottom left wing?
Still looks amazing!! I'd hate to see this flying around!
Very impressive!
Beautiful work. I absolutely love the detail you do in all of your pieces, and your coloring technique is fantastic! (OR: That f***ing rocks, man! keep it up!)
this is such an amazing design
This gives me the shivers it's so good!
this is so awesome!
These are awesome!
I'd love to see a narwhal creature next!
I'd love to see a narwhal creature next!
This one looks more elegant and graceful. I love all the detail you did and didn't put into it

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Federal Highway Administration Research and Technology
Exploratory Advanced Research Program
Exploratory advanced research includes foundational work that anticipates the questions and future needs in applied research or the application of innovations from other industries to the transportation sector.
Under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed partnerships with the public and private sectors. Furthermore, the nature of exploratory advanced research stimulates the use of partnerships to apply ideas across traditional field of research and engage new approaches to problem solving. As a result, FHWA has sought and will continue to seek research partners through extensive outreach. FHWA wants to ensure all competent entities are aware of the solicitation and have an opportunity to compete for the work.
To ensure the highest technical merit, FHWA plans to continue to use peer review panels to evaluate solicitations. The panels are comprised of Federal, State, academic, and international scientific and engineering experts, who have been vetted, to avoid potential conflicts of interest. The panels frequently include multiple disciplines to better assess cross-applications and novel approaches to research. In addition to the peer review, a multidisciplinary management group within FHWA also assesses the mission focus and overall balance of projects within a round of research funding.
For more information, contact David Kuehn, firstname.lastname@example.com, (202) 493-3414, or Terry Halkyard, email@example.com, (202) 493-3467.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) announced $30 million in funding for a NEXT-Generation Energy Technologies for Connected and Automated on-Road-vehicles (NEXTCAR) program that explores the development of new and emerging vehicle dynamic and powertrain (VD&PT) control technologies to reduce the energy consumption of future vehicles through the use of connectivity and vehicle automation. [More]
The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program is working closely with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and other Federal agencies on cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are engineered systems that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. NSF has just released a solicitation for a unique opportunity for investigators to support this CPS program. FHWA has interest in research and development that provides improved safety, mobility, and energy conservation in the development and operation of the Nation's highway system. [More]
Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) and FHWA's Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program have issued a Request for Information (RFI) to find organizations that have developed inductive charging systems for placement in roadway pavement. [More]
The Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) conducts research across a wide range of topics and disciplines. To supplement the expertise of the permanent staff, it is important to bring in researchers with the appropriate backgrounds to investigate specific problems at short-term basis. Through the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program, FHWA utilizes the Resident Associates (or Postdoctoral Fellows) program of the National Research Council (NRC) for this purpose. The NRC provides a process for selecting candidates on a competitive merit basis and subsequently for administration of the Resident Fellows during their tenures at FHWA. [More]

Change up play: Feliciano Lopez was quickly bundled out of this year's Australian Open in the second round by Frenchie Richard Gasquet 6-2, 6-1, 6-3. Maybe that's why we didn't notice the clothing sponsor change by the Spaniard. Feliciano, formerly part of the Nike stable, is currently working Joma Sport, a Spanish sports apparel brand based in his hometown of Toledo, Spain.
Could it be he was dropped by the global sports brand, or did Feli finally get tired of looking like everyone else?

I downloaded the q printer the other day to print a couple q's and my security program just found a trojan in it.� just wanted to share since I have a higher end security program and I know a lot of people just use freeware for it.� my comp is doing a full scan right now but has already quarentined the worm.
swagbucks coupon printer has trojan (virus)
Thanks for the heads up. I finally got my printer hooked up and was going to print coupons tonight.
My pc is infected it said its infected a while back i dont know much about computers but i downlaoded the coupons.com tool bar i think thats why it got infected.I remember ladies saying it had a virus but i just had to print ips from there that i didnt use.im so hard headed.i printed off swagbucks too.

Once upon a time i paid full retail.Then found saving is a hoot-Target.Loving Jesus giving God the praise.Married DH11/2/14 ourGirls17&12ourboy5
is this just for the swagbucks coupons.com or also the coupons.com website toolbag? I have the high end Norton and I haven't had anything pop up. When I printed off swagbucks the other day it didn't even install a coupon printer at all. Maybe I will run a scan anyways to be safe.

Owner of Bunky Fluff Diapers on Hyena Cart
coupons.com has had a problem with trojan viruses for a while now-like 2-3 months. Since swagbucks is still coupons.com it doesnt surprise me.
That's why I'm so hesitant to use the internet coupon sites. They seem so rife with malware. I have a brand new computer that I just put together myself, and malware is the last thing I want to deal with.
Are there any IP sites that don't have these issues?
This space available for rent.
I havent had issues with couponnetwork.com, target.com, and smartsource.com
I'm not sure what installer redplum.com uses
How do you uninstall the toolbar?

See also the study of the Nikon 14-24 and 24-70 zooms and the focus shift study of the Nikon AF-S 24/1.4G and 35/1.4G.
Focus shift and how to mitigate it are discussed in detail in Making Sharp Images.
Test scene
The 36-megapixel Nikon D800E was used as shown below. The test scene measures 15" (38 cm) across, so this corresponds to a tight "head shot" portrait.
Focus was on the doll's eyes (Miss Checkerboard at center), with the ruler as a reference point for observing the amount of focus shift. The doll's eyes correspond to the ~ "14.5" mark on the ruler.

Season 'Live' Seafood (Hai Wei Huo Hai Xian): "Most Atmospheric joint for Seafood" Top 5 Page for this destination Pulau Ubin Restaurant Tip by bpacker
Pulau Ubin Restaurants: 13 reviews and 14 photos
Contrary to belief, the best place to eat Chinese seafood in Singapore is not at the UDMC centre at East Coast but by a little coastal village in Pulau Ubin. Picture yourself sitting by a makeshift table under a tree, sipping on coconut juice and feeling the seabreeze running thru' your hair. On top of that, you'll get to enjoy fresh sea critters at rustic prices.
Favorite Dish: There's lots of seafood joints near the jetty so head for the one joint that is situated just by the waters . For about US$24 in total, hubby and I had a huge and scrumptious seafood dinner...
1) Succulent big prawns, steamed whole, whiskers and all, in ginger and their juices.
2) Crabs, fried with spicy black pepper sauce and spring onions. This was particularly gd as the crab flesh was firm to the taste.
3) Tofu Seafood Soup.
4) Thai coconut juice in their shells with plump, juicy white flesh. The coconuts here are way better than the ones found on the mainland. A lot cheaper too. One coconut cost about US$0.90 on average.
Pretty good, considering, that the portions were huge. A similar meal on the mainland would have cost us at least US$36 or so.
Address: 59E Pulau Ubin S508309
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Head for the opera stage to the left of the island. The eatery is just by the coast.
Phone: 6542 7627
Price: US$21-30

The FIA rules are quite gray, meaning that they could be interpreted in different ways, main players of the Formula 1 like Jean Todt, Briatore and Ron Denis have complained several times about this fact, even the veteran David Coulthard have done so in his column in ITV.
Now coming to the gray rules, the article 19 describes the changes of drivers (in a way....)
19.1 a) During a season each team will be permitted to use four drivers. Changes may be made at any time before the start of the qualifying practice session provided any change proposed after 16.00 on the day of scrutineering receives the consent of the stewards.
Additional changes for reasons of force majeure will be considered separately.
Any new driver may score points in the Championship.
As you can see is quite gray, because it is not talking about new players, nor current ones. So, in the case that Lewis Hamilton is seduced by Ferrari as an example and he jumps (which I see quite unlikely, I explain later), the FIA most probable will not object it according to the article 19.1, thus, Ferrari needs to get rid off of one its drivers, Kimi, Felipe, Luca or Marc, being Luca and Marc the current test drivers and put Lewis to drive, period. Now regarding the points the next question you may ask is:
Will Lewis Hamilton keep his points if he changes of team?
The answer is yes, but it is gray too, there is not any article that says he can't, but there is not any article in the FIA regulations that state he may retain them:
Article 6: The Formula One World Championship driver's title will be awarded to the driver who has scored the highest number of points, taking into consideration all the results obtained during the Events which have actually taken place.
As you can see the article does not mention any team, therefore in theory Lewis will keep his points, so it will McLaren the points achieved by Lewis with the McLaren car.
Now I will tell you why I see that unlikely to happen:
The contract. Lewis Hamilton is a high tech weapon created by McLaren since he was a kid, the boy is a machine and a huge investment, therefore, McLaren for sure designed a contract for him that most probably is almost impossible to break without incurring in a huge amount of money expending, and when I say huge I mean ridiculously huge, therefore I really doubt that any team will dear (neither the almighty hyper high budgeted Ferrari) to acquire him before his contract ends. McLaren is quite an expert on such contracts, Fernando Alonso is in a similar situation and he is far from being a high tech weapon created by McLaren as you know, he is more an internal asset required but problematic for the team and the team knew it in advance and even thought McLaren have a bullet probe contract with him.
Coming back to Lewis Hamilton, under what reason he would like to live McLaren Mercedes? It is his family, it is home for him, that will be a quite weird move. I know money talks, but in his case it is quite different, for me is a really interesting case of study, it never happened before in F1. Time will say.

19.1 covers racing only, a team can use as many test drivers as it likes through the season, but only four drivers are allowed to race for a team within a campaign
article 6, the point of note is 'taking into consideration all the results obtained during the Events which have actually taken place' as this covers two evetualities
the event of a race either being halted before points can be awarded (covered in another article) or not being run at all
the second eventuality is that in the event of a tie in points after the championship rounds that the driver with the most wins will be crowned champion, and if the number of race wins is equal then second places and so on
the event of a race either being halted before points can be awarded (covered in another article) or not being run at all
a drivers tally is his tally regardless of how many teams he drives for
and a teams tally is the combination of the drivers scores per race regardless of which driver scores the points

Military moms and dads serving overseas will be protected from losing custody of their children because of their deployment under two laws signed Wednesday by Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
The new laws prevent a court from changing a child's custody orders or placement while a parent is on active duty unless there is convincing evidence that such a change is in the best interest of the child.
The legislation was developed when Army National Guard Spc. Joe McNeilly of Grand Ledge reported that he lost custody of his son after spending more than a year in Iraq.
McNeilly had shared custody of Joey, his only child, before being deployed in 2004. But his ex-girlfriend, Holly Erb of Mason, had petitioned the court for full custody seven months after McNeilly joined the National Guard in 2003.
He agreed to give Erb temporary full custody until he returned from duty, but a court referee later recommended against restoring custody.

Patagonia Anticipation: Hard Mistress or Enchantress
Elusive Patagonia
Having explored various trip options over the years, we had a fair idea of what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. An internet search for tour operators who specialized in trips to the area led us to Adventure Life. After a few exploratory emails, we were confident that Adventure Life would be able to customize a tour for us, within our price range and time frame, which would include everything on our wish list. Our list was simple as we stated in one of our emails, ''more hiking, less glaciers,'' but ''no overnight treks.'' As avid, but aging, hikers, our backpacking days are behind us. The perfect day for us includes not only a long, challenging hike, but also returning to a hot shower, a good meal, a glass of wine, and a comfortable bed. That's what we were looking for. And that's exactly what Adventure Life delivered for us.
As part of the pre-trip preparation, Adventure Life provided us with a recommended reading list of some classic books about Patagonian history and culture. We read two: Charles Darwin's ''The Voyage of the Beagle'' and Bruce Chatwin's ''In Patagonia.'' Both were fascinating and brought to life different aspects of the region.
Darwin wrote mostly about the natural history of the region, noting that the Patagonian landscape could ''be described only by negative characters; without habitations, without water, without trees, without mountains,'' ''wretched and useless,'' ''extremely uninteresting.'' But he also said that these scenes ''deeply impressed'' his mind and that ''No one can stand in these solitudes unmoved, and not feel that there is more in man than the mere breath of his body.''
Every magazine and newspaper article and every travel guide mentions the Patagonian weather, particularly the incessant wind that blows from October to March, ''stripping men to the raw,'' as Chatwin described. Chatwin's focus was on the inhabitants of the region, the eccentric personalities with their fantastic stories. One of his characters, The Maestro, a poet from Buenos Aires who visited the area and wound up staying for 40 years, provided the best description of the dichotomy of Patagonia. As rain drummed on his tin roof he cried, ''Patagonia! She is a hard mistress. She casts her spell. An enchantress! She folds you in her arms and never lets go.''
So which Patagonia would we experience? The ''hard mistress?'' The ''wretched and useless landscape?'' The winds that would strip us ''to the raw?'' Or the ''enchantress'' that would ''deeply impress'' our minds and ''fold us in her arms and never let us go?'' We were eager to find out. After viewing our travelogue, feel free to draw your own conclusions.
March 17 was a travel day for us, flying from the northeast US to Buenos Aires. It was a long trip made easier by flying first class (a splurge) and being met by family when we landed in Buenos Aires.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or comments.

Posted on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 05:23PM by Barbara Hill Meyers
Due to the ongoing effort required in maintaining and updating gene annotation databases, we have had to end support for the GeneCruiser module. This means GeneCruiser will no longer be installed on any of our servers and will no longer be available from any of our repositories.
We are looking into alternatives for microarray annotation and will be sure to keep you posted as a new option becomes available.
Please note that this also means that the GeneCruiser functionality in the Java Applet versions of ComparativeMarkerSelectionViewer, FeatureSummaryViewer, GeneListSignificanceViewer, HeatMapViewer, HierarchicalClusteringViewer, and Multiplot* is also no longer operational.
If you need to convert Affymetrix probes to their corresponding genes, we recommend CollapseDataset. This module will combine all of the probe sets for a single gene into one representative value, "collapsing" Affymetrix probe sents into their corresponding HUGO gene annotations....

In only a weekend's time, the Karnes City High School Highsteppers had topped even local Victoria East High School as Dance Team of the Week, and were highlighted in the Sept. 30 daily newspaper.
"It is humbling and overwhelming to think that so many would join one another in support of these young ladies who demonstrate such dedication and commitment week after week," Highstepper Sponsor Penny Armstrong, also Karnes City Jr. High principal, said. "Because we are a small town and don't often receive coverage, it was exciting for the entire community and even more so for the Highsteppers."
The Advocate conducted an online poll Sept. 23-26 asking who should be featured as drill team of the week. The Highsteppers garnered 51 percent, or 391 votes, compared to Victoria East's 29 percent, or 223 votes. El Campo and Bay City followed with only10 percent of the votes.
"Each year The Advocate does a Friday football feature, and this year, we decided to focus on drill teams. We add the online poll to the mix to encourage participation and good ol' fashioned rivalry," The Advocate's education reporter Kayla Bell said. "Mrs. Armstrong's husband (KCJHS History teacher and Coach Sean Armstrong) actually wrote me an email just bragging and bragging on how hard the Highsteppers work and how talented the team is. He asked if we could add them to the online poll, so much to Mrs. Armstrong's surprise, we did."
Coach Armstrong called the poll to the attention of his wife and Junior High Secretary April Clark, who then sent out an email urging everyone in the school district to vote for the girls. Other emails followed – including one to Highstepper Lieutenant Bridgette Matula's brother Kevin Matula, a 2011 graduate, who then posted a link to the poll on Facebook.
"When a tight-knit community, such as Karnes City, stands up to support their local school and organizations that represent the school, I think the kids win," Matula said. "What a great representation of school pride and support for such an awesome group of ladies. When an opportunity arises for a small community to receive coverage for an organization that is so determined and dedicated – as a family, we will rise up to support something that we love. Since we are a small community and we don't receive much coverage and found out that Karnes City was in the running for Dance Team of the Week, the news spread like wildfire."
Once the votes were tallied, Bell contacted Penny Armstrong, interviewed the group and its sponsors and wrote a story for the Sept. 23 Crossroads section of the regional paper.
"I quickly became aware of just how much pride the Karnes City schools and community has for the Highsteppers," Bell said about her interview. "We don't usually cover Karnes City, and honestly, I don't think any of us expected, as Mrs. Armstrong put it, 'The little dance team that could' to beat out much larger schools in our online poll. It was clear people had rallied together in support of these girls. As a reporter, it was refreshing to see people so pumped up for something."
Advocate sales in convenience store stands went up on Sept. 30 as the Badger Football team prepared for their first district game against Brooks Academy here at home – a game the boys would go on to win 51-0.
"The spirit we have is good because without spirit there is no point to bring our guys up," Sophomore Stepper Alex Benavides said.
The Highsteppers serve as an example for other groups and teams not only on campus but throughout the area, Highstepper Captain Brianna Hopkins said.
"Being chosen for The Victoria Advocate was a real honor," she said. "I am very proud to be a Badger and we got pushed to our limits. We're not just another dance team. We are a drill team that works hard every day and making sure everything is perfect."
Both Penny Armstrong and Sean Armstrong grew up in the Victoria area, and Penny Armstrong danced with the nationally recognized Victoria High School Victoriadores drill team.
"I must say it was quite thrilling for the girls to even be thought of, let alone, win the poll. Winning the poll has solidified the idea that anyone can achieve great things with hard work, expectations and a positive attitude, regardless of the resources they have or don't have," she said. "We are humbled and grateful for the incredible support and look forward to a great rest of the year."

Two-in-one brightening gommage synergistically promotes deep exfoliation while visibly improving skin's balance, tone and clarity. Helps protect skin with antioxidant-rich Cranberry and Blueberry extracts.
You can feel that this product works. It left my skin smooth and tingly. It is borderline appropriate for my middle-aged skin, the Cranberry Gommage was definitely too harsh for me. The Golden Grain was too mild.
I bought this after reading the overall positive reviews as a replacement exfoliant for the Golden Grain Gommage, which I found somewhat disappointing. Unlike the latter, this product has very fine, sandy grains that really feel like they're doing the job. (Nice tingly sensation, presumably from fruit acids?) I have reasonably sensitive skin prone to redness and have had no trouble using this in the morning as directed. Not sure about the brightening claims, but assume that will take time (I am skeptical about such claims anyway -- I think it takes more than a scrub).
I exfoliate 2x a week. once i started using this people started commenting on my face. Some said my skin just looked beautiful and young, others said it glowed! I love it. It gives you the option to leave it on for 3 minutes..do so! It has a wonderful cooling sensation and when you rinse it off, your skin feels brand new and looks wonderful! I like the gommage but i LOVE this scrub. Use it!
Use 2 times a week in the AM. Appy 1 teaspoon to damp face, neck and decollete in light upward outward circles. Leave on skin for 3-5 minutes for optimal brightening benefits. Rinse well.
