This is the annual situation – with the accompanying pat-on-the-head – in which Everton currently finds itself: once again with an excellent team, once again needing every break to go its way, once again watching as competitors restock by spending more on transfer fees than Everton does on a season's wages. With eight straight top-eight finishes, including three fifths, Everton is the truest definition of an overachiever in the Premier League, but without the crucial breakthrough into the top four to go with it, the club seems stuck, quality managers and savvy signings notwithstanding. The irony – or, perhaps, frustration – is that the latest bout of "here we go again?" comes following a summer during which Everton actually did shell out some significant money. The Toffees made a permanent purchase of last season's on-loan striker, Romelu Lukaku, for a club record of more than $50 million, and also made a pretty sneaky addition of Samuel Eto'o to help out the attack. TRANSFER TRACKER: Recapping the summer window moves Throw in Muhamed Besic for needed defensive midfield backup and Christian Atsu to replace loanee Gerard Deulofeu on the wing, and this may be a modestly improved version of last season's squad (although Ross Barkley's lengthy injury is a definite wrench). The problem? Everyone else in the mix for the precious and elusive Champions League spots is significantly reinforced, and the team that may have been the most reasonable candidate to catch, local rival Liverpool (or "Liverhampton" after the Reds' raid of the south coast this summer), still looks quite capable in Year 1 A.B. (After Biter). LYTTLETON: Hits, misses from summer's most interesting transfers So, maybe it was due to the recency of Sunday's wild 6-3 home loss to Chelsea, or perhaps it was the sobering macro reality of Everton's margin for error of approximately zero, but many Toffee supporters were immediately put off by a tweet suggesting that the club vastly outperformed expectation last season in Roberto Martinez's debut at the helm and may be poised for some regression. The second half of that sentiment is TBD, but there's no denying the first part. As the interactive chart in this May piece from The Economist shows, you can make a strong argument that last season's Everton was the biggest success story in Premier League history. No team that has spent the league median or less in wages has ever gained as as many as Everton's 72 points last season, or finished higher than the Toffees' fifth-place standing. It was a tremendous season, but it still wasn't good enough. That there is even a discussion to be had about Everton's glass ceiling is in itself somewhat notable. The last decade has changed a lot about the perception of the club, at least in terms of its Premier League era existence. Everton was just fading from some mid-1980s glory in the old First Division (aided by the Heysel Disaster that caused UEFA to ban English teams from European competitions for a number of years) when the Premier League came to be, and the club was effectively that next decade's version of today's Sunderland, staying in the league every season but with only two finishes higher than 13th place. Then, in 2005, modern framing was launched by the club's tremendous one-season jump from 17th place all the way up to fourth, although losing to Celtic in the Champions League playoff round that following August squandered the enormous chance for a breakthrough. Everton hasn't been back in that spot since (and neither has anyone else outside the elite; although Tottenham got hosed a few years ago when sixth-place Chelsea won the Champions League and stole the league's fourth spot for the following season), but it has been more consistently in the mix than anyone else, despite a budget akin more to Sir Alex Ferguson's wine collection than his annual player collections. Tim Howard's goals for Everton FC On Thursday's SI Now, USMNT goalkeeper Tim Howard discusses his team Everton FC getting into one of the top spots next season and what it was like getting use to playing for Roberto Martínez. For a team like Everton to crack the top four, everything needs to go right, and right now, it isn't. Retaining Lukaku was impactful, but perhaps there were better and/or multiple other options for that huge amount of money. After leaking 10 goals in the first three matches, Everton may also have to quickly turn to John Stones in central defense after Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin more or less have turned into stone. The rampant disorganization that carried from two late goals conceded to Arsenal to two early goals vs. Chelsea was alarming in its amateurish frequency, and Martinez has claimed his team is defending with fear. And, of course, there's the Barkley issue. Even with his perpetually frustrating decision-making in the final third (lots of dribbling, little end product), he provides an on-ball dynamic that's now in much shorter supply. Plus, you know, he's still only 21, so maybe the quality final decisions were coming. We won't know for a few months now, and by then, it could be too late for him to help salvage this campaign in terms of anything better than the norm. Yes, Everton worked its way through early sluggishness last season, and there's no way the league's third-stingiest defense last season will remain this bad for much longer. But we also saw last season that Everton's best points total in 27 seasons still wasn't quite enough. When you're staring at the glass ceiling, every opportunity matters. Everton's blown a couple of them already, and there aren't too many more the club can afford to waste. With the added burden of a Europa League campaign further complicating matters, it could be that winning that event – and the newly created UCL spot that goes with it – is Everton's most realistic path to where it really wants to be.

Jason Gore teams up with NASCAR's Kevin Harvick in charity golf event
November 9, 2012
BAKERSFIELD, Calif.– NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and Bakersfield, Calif., native Kevin Harvick hosted the third annual Happy's Classic Golf Tournament Presented by Advanced Distribution and BlackHole Technologies, proceeds from which benefit the Kevin Harvick Foundation, on November 7.
The event, supported with platinum sponsorship from NTS Motorsports, was held at Bakersfield Country Club and was highlighted by the presentation of the Kevin Harvick Athletic Scholarship to California State University-Bakersfield student athlete Chase Goodvin. Goodvin, a member of the university's golf team, receives a one-year, full scholarship toward his collegiate education.
Joining Harvick in the event was PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour player Jason Gore. The two met back in 2009 at the Shell Houston Open during a sponsor event where Harvick was making an appearance. Sharing California roots, they've been friends ever since.
The Kevin Harvick Athletic Scholarship was established to enable collegiate student athletes to pursue their dreams of obtaining an undergraduate degree while participating in athletics. It was first awarded to a California State University-Bakersfield student athlete in 2010 as part of a 12-year commitment to the school and Harvick's effort to give back to his hometown community of Kern County. The Kevin Harvick Foundation recently established a similar initiative at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Harvick, who heads to Phoenix International Raceway this weekend for the penultimate race of the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, took full advantage of his California swing this week by hosting charitable events in his hometown on consecutive days. Harvick teamed up with apparel company TapouT to donate new uniforms and gear to the wrestling team at North High School, the 1994 graduate's alma mater, on Tuesday. Harvick, a former North High School wrestler, and TapouT made the presentation during a school pep rally.
Harvick and TapouT also awarded four student scholarships totaling $11,000, a portion of which was donated by Bob Newberry, owner of NTS Motorsports and an alumnus of the school, to seniors who participated in an essay contest focusing on overcoming adversity in life. Applicants were required to be four-year college-bound, have maintained a minimum grade point average of 3.0 or higher and to have demonstrated excellence in overcoming adversity.

The announcement this week that Facebook is acquiring Pryte should make operators sit up and take notice. The communications landscape is evolving at breakneck speed and operators need to start shouting about where they can bring value, before they get drowned out by the noise.
Because bring value they certainly can. We all know how these partnerships should work in theory: operator brings their established systems and customer insight to the table, OTT brings its innovation and "cool" factor, as well as hoards of happy customers. The two parties "mash up" their services and the resulting revenue is shared between them.
The reality doesn't have to be far from that. Where many operators fall down is that they are not geared to rapidly respond to changing traffic patterns, new applications and user requirements. And that is a real issue. Because to grow revenues and market share in the new world order of the digital economy, it is not so much about survival of the fittest but survival of the fastest.
Failure to improve organisational agility is one of the greatest risks to operators, according to the 'Top Ten Risks In Telecommunications 2014' report from analysts EY.
"Operators have moved from network-centric to customer-facing structures. Simplifying and streamlining these structures while driving new forms of interaction within organizations will be vital if telcos are to cope with a range of escalating trends."
Operators might not be prepared to nail their flag to the mast in terms of what form their OTT Partnership Strategy will take - with the market seemingly in a permanent state of flux, many are sitting back and waiting for the waters to settle - but they all know that in order to execute it, the business, both in terms of processes and supporting infrastructure, needs to support agility.
The three pillars of agility
Fundamentally, this means putting the customer at the centre of the organisation and ensuring that the whole business is geared to bringing them greater value: knowing what it is they want, creating innovative apps/ services that meet those demands and delivering these at the "crucial" moment.
This might sound like pretty basic marketing but the difference is that operators must be set up to act fast on customer insight, if they want to match the pace set by their OTT counterparts and remain a relevant value player.
From pipe dream to revenue stream
This is neatly demonstrated by third-party data sharing, a major emerging revenue stream that a number of operators want to capitalise on through their OTT Partnerships.
Without the systems in place that can sift through the data deluge, and offer real-time insight based on specific customer context parameters, the value of this data assest simply cannot be realised - or, at least, not to its full potential.
Ideally, operators would be looking now at systems that offer out-of-the box capabilities to mine data in real time, so that they can move fast in exploiting the growing demand from OTTs for holistic customer insight. Critical functionality is the ability to set up customer context parameters, and mine for those specific data streams in real-time. This enables Operator and OTT to define circumstances where a subscriber would be sent a relevant offer.
While campaign management tools are advanced, there are few operators who offer this high level data mining. Even fewer who can offer it out-of-the-box. But operators who are serious about monetising their customer data require detailed insight - now.
Partnerships in Practice
Beyond customer insight, operators must be in a position to create new services with the Over The Top (OTT) players and other digital service providers. Integrating on a case-by-case basis is cumbersome, and slows operators down in launching new market-ready services.
Operators are keen to form partnerships, in order to add value to their data bundles. The partnership model is a key tenant in reducing churn and protecting future revenues.
Those operators who are serious about this approach are investing now proprietary collaboration platform that can be directly integrated with the operator's BSS/OSS systems, providing developers with access to both network assets and to the operator's back-office systems (Billing CRM, Analytics) and supporting 'mash ups' of operator/ OTT services. Unlike the inherent bureaucracy of industry-led initiatives, changes to individual deployments can be implemented quickly - essential given the rate at which this market moves.
In other words, being fast and agile is key to success in this new sector. Making investment now in the systems that will support this, and enable operators to turn their customer insight into a sustainable revenue stream, is critical to long-term success.

Curly hair is not so much in fashion but lots of women wish to have curly hair. Curly hair makes woman look pretty. Making your hair curly using artificial methods like perming and rolling can harm your hair. However, you can even make your hair curly and wavy naturally. Read on to find some beauty tips for having natural curly hair.
Natural curly hair is considered sexy and very appealing. Though straight hair is in fashion today, naturally curly hair look very beautiful and makes any girl look attractive. Some women who have straight hair wish to have curls or waves in their hair. But use of perms and other chemical treatments can harm your hair.
There is one most unavoidable defect of getting your hair turned curly; you cannot have your straight hair back if you take help from unnatural and artificial ways. It is always good to turn your hair wavy or have curls in your hair in a natural way. Here are some tips that will help you have your desirable hair and get the sexy look and style.
Tips on Having Curly Hair Naturally
Have a quick look at the tips for having curly hair naturally.
Using Shampoo for Curly Hair
Use a shampoo that helps clear off the dirt and oil that gets deposited on your scalp over time. You might feel that your hair got dried up after that because it also cleans the oiliness of your hair. You need to moisturise your hair after the use of clarifying shampoo. You should spend some extra time and scrub your scalp and this will help the shampoo work in a better way. If you are used to washing your hair regularly or your hair is already dry, you need not use a clarifying shampoo. Try to use natural or herbal shampoos as much as possible.
Using Curl Enhancing Gel
Curl enhancing styling gel can be applied after shampooing your hair. You simply need to pile your hair like a bun after applying the mousse. Let it dry and when you have to go out, just take the elastic or the clutch clip out and let loose your hair. Do not use your fingers to disentangle your hair. Just keep in mind that you brush your hair before applying the gel and piling it like a bun. This process will work even without using the gel. Many herbal curl enhancing gels are available in market. Use these herbal gels instead of using chemical based gels.
Hair Scrunching
If you want your hair look permed, just wash your hair and brush it and take some of the hair in your grip and tighten it and then leave it to dry naturally. You do not even need to tie it or use any clip. Once it gets dried, you will find that they look like you have gone through a perm session. This is a natural method of curling hair which is known as hair scrunching. Scrunching make your hair look curly and voluminous.
Making Hair Bun
Dry your hair after shampooing with a towel and then use a large-toothed comb to untangle your hair. Make a hair bun in such a way that it is not stressing your hair too much. If you want to get curls faster, you can use a blow drier to dry your hair after making the bun. You can use the blow drier after tying a bun out of your hair which is half dry. However, do not blow dry frequently as it may cause harm to your hair.
The best thing about treating your hair naturally is clean it regularly, detoxify it once in a month and do not brush it when it is wet. Just make sure you let your hair dry naturally if your hair is naturally wavy.
If you are planning to go out in the evening, comb your hair and tie the bun in upward direction and keep it till the time you are completely ready. Just leave your hair open and do not comb it again or put fingers to push them back. You will have natural curly hair without much hassle and without damaging your hair as well.

Schizophrenia - Cause
Experts don't know what causes schizophrenia. It may have different causes for different people.
- Genetics: Your chances of getting schizophrenia are greater if your parent, brother, or sister has it. But most people who have a family member with schizophrenia don't get it.
- Brain chemistry and structure: It's possible that neurotransmitters, which send messages between parts of the brain, don't work the right way in people who have schizophrenia.
- Problems during pregnancy: Schizophrenia may be related to problems during the mother's pregnancy that can harm a baby's developing brain and nervous system. These problems include poor nutrition or a viral infection during pregnancy.
Schizophrenia is not caused by anything you did, by personal weakness or bad choices, or by the way your parents raised you.

What Is Paranoid Schizophrenia?
Paranoid schizophrenia, or schizophrenia with paranoia as doctors now call it, is the most common example of this mental illness. Schizophrenia is a kind of psychosis; your mind doesn't agree with reality. It affects how you think and behave. This can show up in different ways and at different times, even in the same person. The illness usually starts in late adolescence or young adulthood. People with paranoid delusions are unreasonably suspicious of others. This can make it hard for them...

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A Long Island town has approved a $20,000 settlement with the family of a girl who was injured by a petting zoo rooster.
The settlement was approved by the Smithtown Town Board on Tuesday night. A judge still needs to sign off on the agreement, Newsday reported.
The Weiss family sued on behalf of their daughter, Kaylie. She was injured by the rooster during a 2011 visit to the petting zoo at the town's Hoyt Farm Nature Preserve.
The rooster caused lacerations to Kaylie's face. Officials also did not specify her age, other than saying she is younger than 18.
An attorney representing the Weiss family did not immediately comment.

Jeter seemed to move well on the field and comically grunted on every throw like some baseball version of Monica Seles. Afterward, he spoke to the media for about six minutes, which can be boiled down to two words: "I'm fine."

When Cisco recruited IBM, HP and NEC for its hush-hush software-defined networking (SDN) consortium code-named Daylight sources say it talked them into signing a non-disclosure agreement forbidding them to join any other similarly minded consortia.
Then Cisco twice missed the deadline set to give them the proprietary code it said it intended to open source as part of the SDN standard it was proposing - and it still hasn't turned the code over to them.
They got scared that Cisco was pulling a bait and switch and that even if the proprietary code was open sourced it was still going to include closed, proprietary links back to Cisco's very proprietary OnePK widgetry, its SDN toolkit, and other Cisco mojo.
Then it started to become clear that Cisco had spun out a stealth effort called Insieme to knock off the Nicira SDN technology that VMware bought for $1.26 billion last year. Cisco reportedly has 25-30 of the boys who created its UCF servers working on it.
Insieme is what they deliciously call a "spin-in," a scheme supposedly unique to Cisco.
Cisco or Cisco CEO John Chambers in his arbiter as venture capitalist is backing Insieme - reportedly to the tune of $50 million - and once it's got a proprietary product that Cisco can import into the Daylight "standard" Cisco will buy it back.
Insieme is reportedly valued at $700 million so roughly $750 million could ultimately shower on the start-up.
Dell has a small networking business and because it's small needs a level playing field, besides its stock-in-trade is commodity widgetry.
Hearing the story just told, never mind from whom, it was persuaded to start a counter-consortium. The only trouble was that companies like IBM being gentlemen - at least on the surface - were hobbled by that darn NDA they signed.
So on Wednesday Dell joined the Object Management Group - an international open standards organization that's always been a little bit over its head - and proposed an SDN standardization working committee that it will chair within the OMG technology working groups.
The companies that are already secretly backing it or are likely recruits already belong to OMG and Cisco's NDA doesn't say anything about using an existing consortium as a counter-measure.
In fact both HP and IBM belong to OMG.
Anyway, the plan is to take the specification and Northbound API that the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) refused to embellish - which may be why Cisco got traction for Daylight to begin with - and add all the stuff the industry thinks is missing.
Sam Greenblatt, now Dell's chief architect - who in previous lives as CTO at HP and CA was on the board on OMG for 11 years - figures it will take four or five month to knock the ONF spec into shape. Then he intends to get it on the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) fast track.
Sam will reportedly return to the OMG board and chair the working group. He means to make sure it's an open process and a meritocracy. Its first meeting will be April 4, a Thursday, probably days before Cisco trots out Daylight at the Open Networking Summit later in the month.
Six OMG members are reportedly ready to join Dell's effort as soon as it's sanctioned by the OMG board next week. It could presumably get all 31 OMG companies, which is supposedly way more than Daylight's got. It also expects end users, government agencies and research institutes to kick in.
The ONF, which is open source-oriented, is supposed to join OMG, which is open standards-oriented, in an arrangement that's happened before with industry standards groups.
Daylight is supposed to produce an open source SDN controller with Cisco as the reference architecture for OpenFlow and SDN and disenfranchise VMware for its temerity in buying Nicira by not allowing it any gateways for VXLAN or VMware/Nicira.
In its OMG announcement Dell pointedly said that "SDN goes beyond the network. This solution should look beyond the data center, in fact across the entire enterprise. A 'controller' which drives disruption on how enterprises operate and is jointly developed, commercialized and promoted, using open standards as a principal, needs to take all infrastructure into consideration."
It went on to say that "open standards are required to build an SDN controller and anything short of that is in fact contrary to the goals of OMG and could lead to a closed or proprietary solution, minimizing customers' choice."
OMG CEO Richard Soley said in a statement that ""Networks are the last bastion of unvirtualized computing infrastructure. The growing interest in software-defined networks needs to be met as early as possible with flexible, transparent, powerful standards that help the industry grow rapidly and allow interoperable and portable solutions, and give customers real choice."
Privately he said he was going to try to get Cisco to join if someone at Cisco will please pick up the phone.

Something very cool just happened...
Wednesday, April 03, 2013
January 2012, just following the break up of my 15-yr relationship, my roommate (and oldest friend) and I took a road trip to San Francisco to visit another friend of mine of 20+ yrs. (As an aside, there is something especially beautiful about having people in my life that have known me as long as these individuals have...It's like coming home--safe and warm.) We had a wonderful time just hanging out--sharing, reminiscing and laughing a LOT. It was just what the doctor ordered after I moved out of the apartment I had shared with my ex.
Well on the way home, my friend and I stopped in Santa Cruz which became my home away from home after attending UCSC for 3 years. It is one of the most magical places to me and retains a special place in my heart to this day. It was here that I gained independence from my family for the first time and began developing into the person I am now. I guess you could say it's where I found myself. My friend and I decided to walk around downtown and we stopped in at my favorite jewelry store where they have a large array of silver rings--of which I am a fan. So I see this rather plain band made out of solid sterling silver. It's kind of wide, narrows at one point and is edged on both sides with a braided pattern. It was love at first sight, simple yet slightly ornate and I wanted it. When I tried it on for the first time I had planned to buy it for the middle finger on my right hand but the store didn't have my size. So I went down a size and purchased it for the ring finger on my right hand. As my friend and I drove home to southern CA, I couldn't stop staring at my hand and my new purchase. It was a little more than I might normally spend but it was heavy for a band and solid silver all the way through. It was also the first thing I had bought for myself since my relationship had ended and it began to symbolize for me not only the start of the new year but also new beginnings. The start of a new me, if you will.
As my weight loss success has unfolded and taken on different forms not always apparent on the scale, I noticed my ring becoming looser and looser to the point that it is now sliding of the ring finger on my right hand. But I am so attached to it, that I hate the idea of leaving the house without it even though the thought of possibly losing it has filled me with dread on occasion. When I look down at my hand, the sight of my ring reminds me of so many positive things (and a few sad ones) but mostly positive-like how far I've come personally, emotionally and mentally since my break-up; how independent I've become, how much healthier I am physcially--the fact that it no longer fit has been a CONSTANT reminder of how successful I have been in the pursuit of better health. But mostly it has come to symbolize not only the possibilities life has to offer but how much care I have taken to love myself--for better or for worse.
Well--I still cannot yet fit my ring on the middle finger of my right hand and just as I was lamenting the fact that I might actually have to start leaving it at home, something told me to try the middle finger on my LEFT hand--and so I did. And. it. fit. Just last week, my left middle finger was also too snug. It made me so happy that I started to tear up. Because you know what that means? It means that my ring's intended home from the very beginning on my right middle finger cannot be too far behind and will soon be thin enough for me to switch back to where I had always wanted to wear it since it's purchase January 2012. The elation I felt at this discovery was, well, unexpected and a tad overwhelming. I feel like for the first time since 2007 when I first embarked on this journey at 257 lbs, before I even knew what a "Sparkpeople" was, that I am finally on my way to becoming the person I was always meant to be.

Love the pics, what a beautiful ring. I can totally see why you had to buy it, it is such a perfect ring for a middle finger. There is something kind of magical about a shimmery piece of silver jewelery that touches something deep inside of me. Thanks for letting me know you posted the pictures. :)

Laurel Avenue
The Partridges' nightmarish inverse, of course, is The Brady Bunch (ABC, 1969-74). It had a believable enough premise (six stepkids who must somehow form a family), but the result is creepily unreal. The philosophical difference between the Partridges and the Bradys can be summed up by their pop singles: Partridge David Cassidy's "I Think I Love You" is a genuine bubble-gum classic. The Brady Kids' "It's a Sunshine Day" sounds like the greet-the-dawn anthem of a communist youth camp.
Fox (Sundays, 7:30 p.m. ET)
Staring solemnly into the camera and rattling off his lines with characteristic deadpan urgency, Robert Vaughn is the perfect host for this half-hour takeoff on a crime-action TV series. This is not exactly a genre that is crying out for parody, but since Airplane!, just about any piece of junk can serve as a target. Danger Theatre is actually two shows, both so-so: The first is The Searcher, with Diedrich Bader as a darkly handsome, deeply stupid. macho do-gooder. Bader is amusing, in a full-lipped, full-throated way (although, come to think of it, that description would apply just as well to Rosalind Russell). The premise, in any event, is too vague to generate very much fun. The second series, Tropical Punch, is a Hawaii-based crime segment stalling old Batman himself Adam West, as a police chief who, like Bader, is mentally opaque. At least you gel to hear West sing the Don Ho classic "Tiny Bubble's."
USA (Thurs., July 8, 9 p.m. FT)
More like deep disaster.
You have Robert Wagner as a grizzled adventurer-treasure hunter and Ben Cross as a kingpin of crime, battling it out in competition for more than a million dollars' worth of diamonds that are submerged just off the coast of France. This is a story that might conceivably have enthralled audiences around, say, 1910. But even they might have gotten fidgety.
The supporting cast is mostly French, and they all speak in a heavily accented form of English. An awful lot of the TV movie's dialogue is on the order of "Don' be stoo-peed! Steek to ze plan!"
Cross, at any rate, appears to be having a good time, swaggering about and barking orders.
HBO (Sal. July 10, 10 p.m. ET)
Director Carl Franklin, who made his feature debut last year with the crime drama One False Move, proves again in this three-hour mini that he has an uncommon ability to capture the psychology of ordinary people—here, working-class blacks in St. Paul, Minn.—who find their world twisted out of shape by pressures they haven't anticipated and don't understand.
Laurel Avenue, originally planned as six half-hour shows but now a two-parter that concludes the following night, is about an unusually arduous weekend in the life of the Arnetts. The show, written by Michael Henry Brown, keeps track of three generations in four different households, bringing them all together for a disastrous Sunday afternoon party where one daughter, Rhonda Stubbins White, turns up battered by an ex-lover and high on drugs. Her addiction is not the family's only problem: Her son, Vonte Sweet, has turned dealer (and her twin sister. Juanita Jennings, a cop, knows what he's up to): her brother, Monte Russell, who manages a Mafia-owned clothing store, is planning on getting a cut of the illegal steroid market.
In some patches, Laurel Avenue is merely a soap opera executed with day-to-day, waxed-floor realism. Will son Woodrow join his father-in-law's funeral business? Should teenage daughter Sheila be carrying condoms in her purse? When will Yolanda (Jennings) and her while husband have children? But a flawless cast—especially Mary Alice, as the mother of the troubled yet loving brood—make the Arnetts as real as any characters that have ever appeared on TV. No fingers are pointed, and the word dysfunctional is never even whispered. But there is always the sense that something really is wrong deeply wrong—with the members of this family. What is it though? The show ends quietly on a Monday morning with nothing resolved. But, should HBO be inspired to transport us back to Laurel Avenue on some future weekend, things could well blow sky-high.

Breakfast links: Follow the rules
It would be interesting to know if DC CAS scores decline at some of the schools with high erasure rates after the stricter test security protocols Henderson initiated are put into place. Either way, it is troubling DCPS didn't look into the erasures matter more thoroughly in response to the OSSE recommendations three years ago.
More evidence (if any were needed) that Barry's essentially a protest vote by folks who feel completely disenfranchised by the system. Of course, not many of his constituents will will care because this is why they elect him. It's the equivalent of electing Zaphod Beeblebrox or Flava Flav.
Blacks do NOT have to support candidates simply in PROTEST to who/what others don't like.
It is the equivalent of electing a former mayor as your ward rep, a responsibility Flava Flav has never had.
Based on my experience living in the area you only comment about, most vote for him because he's the only name (of note) on the damn ballot.
Of course, SNCF (the French national railway) cooperated with the Nazis after France was overrun. They quite literally had guns pointed at their heads.
...unless we want to mock their puny Class 2 vests. Class 3 is mightier in all it's lime green Sprite-flavored awesome.
At the very least, people might stop calling Dan Reed(!) an out-of-touch white guy...
