|Year Round
|Time commitment
The New England Aquarium is pleased to be able to offer volunteer positions through the new live blue Service Initiative, an innovative volunteer program designed to connect adults throughout the Greater Boston area with the Aquarium and local environmental issues. This program is a great option for those who would like to volunteer with the Aquarium but may be unable to make a weekly commitment!
Volunteers within the live blue Service Corps will be able to volunteer within the main Aquarium building and/or participate in field service events such as beach cleanups, setting up/taking down fencing to protect piping plover nest sites, and removing invasive water chestnuts from the Charles River.
This program has built in flexibility; you only sign up for the service events in which you're interested and for which you have the time. To become a live blue Service Corps member, volunteers are first required to attend a one time, hour long orientation at the Aquarium. During this orientation you'll learn more about the live blue Service Initiative, what kinds of projects we'll be doing, and how to sign up. It's also a great chance to meet other volunteers!
Please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more information and to sign up for an orientation.
All orientations are held at the main Aquarium unless otherwise noted.
Upcoming Orientations:
Sunday, May 8th, 1:00-2:00 p.m.
Thursday, May 19th, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Saturday, June 4th, 1:00-2:00 p.m.
Tuesday, June 14th, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, June 29th, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Saturday, July 16th, 1:00-2:00 p.m.
Wednesday, July 20th, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
**Volunteers for this program must be at least 18 years old to participate in field service events. If you are under 18 please see the live blue™ Ambassador page for similar opportunities!

Summer Aid
At Penn State, the academic year begins with the fall semester and ends with the summer session(s)—Therefore, to be considered for summer student aid, you need to submit the current year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA on the Web). The current academic year FAFSA must be received at the Federal Processor by June 30th. You must also meet certain eligibility requirements.
Keep in mind that your eligibility for summer student aid may be limited if you have used your eligibility during the fall and spring semesters. Many students and families utilize the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan or private alternative educational loans to pay for summer courses.
Summer Aid for Internship Programs at Penn State Altoona
At Penn State, the academic year begins with the fall semester and ends with the summer session(s). Students enrolled during the fall and spring semesters prior to summer enrollment may have limited opportunities to receive student aid for the summer session(s).
It is important to contact the Office of Student Aid, W113 Smith Building, as early as possible to begin discussions on the availability of student aid funding for summer enrollment. If your academic planning includes the possibility of a summer internship, developing funding strategies could begin as early as the fall semester prior to summer enrollment. Successful early planning could include careful budgeting of student aid resources throughout the academic year.
This Web site includes detailed information on applying for summer student aid. A summary of the application process includes the need to complete the current year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by June 30th. For example, students planning on an internship for summer 2009 should complete the 2008/09 FAFSA by June 30, 2009. It is best to complete the FAFSA much earlier than June 30th to allow for sufficient processing time. Summer student aid may include grants, loans and work-study. In addition to completing the FAFSA, additional application procedures are outlined on the web-site and may include filing deadlines. Student aid opportunities for summer generally require enrollment of six or more credits.

How do I get Speech for my 6 year old daughter?
I went to the school but she doesnt qualify for any services because she tested to high. I agree my child is smart and her vocabulary is well above what a normal 6 year old would have. but the problem is that she doesnt pronounce her words correctly. She talks the same way she did when she learned to talk. her words sound the same. When she was accessed they said she would basicly grow out of it around 8 but 2 years ago it was 6 or 7. I feel like they just keep feeding me bull because they dont have enough room for her in speech. I am trying to be aggressive about this because I have noticed that this is affecting everything from school work to her self esteem. She writes how the words sound to her. She wont talk to people if they dont understand her and she gets her feelings hurt when she has to repeat herself because of communication problems. Any suggestions on what I should do now?In Topics: Learning issues and special needs, Speech and language issues

Kim said, "Oh and for the record...I wish I looked half as good as you sans make-up! =D"
Well, Kim (and everyone else), my confession is that I always have some make up on. I've actually been wanting to post about this because I know some runners out there that love their makeup (cough, cough, Jamie) and wouldn't leave home without it. Well, I can't leave home without it because mine is tattooed.
So, I technically didn't have makeup on but also technically did. My eyeliner and eye brows are tattooed and maybe someday when I get the nerve I will get my lipstick tattooed as well. The great thing about tattooed makeup is if you're an athlete you never have to worry about sweat causing your eyeliner to run. My eyeliner is actually very subtle, I chose a brown color and went with a very thin line because I like for my makeup to look natural but you can choose almost any color and go as heavy as you like.
Now, I'm not suggesting to you guys to go out and get your makeup tattooed. I just wanted to make sure people know that I have a little extra help when I'm really not wearing any makeup and if anyone was thinking about getting it done, I'm here if you have any questions. I personally am really glad I chose to do it almost 3 years ago (before I was even a runner) but I know plenty of people think it's insane and would never (in a million years) think of getting it done.
Whew! Glad I got that off my chest. :)
PS If you missed my post on Saturday because you were off doing wonderful weekend things you really should check it out, Nicholas ran 3.1 miles!
PPS Tomorrow I'm going in for surgery so I'm not sure how long it will be till I can run again, doctor says 2-3 weeks. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery because I have the most important 5K ever coming up on September 4!

Wagner: Prelude and "Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde
Richard Wagner
B. May 22, 1813 in Leipzig, Germany
D. Feb. 13, 1883 in Venice, Italy
Illicit passion has been a compelling subject to poets for centuries, its archetypal myth being the legend of Tristan and Isolde. The story of that unhappy couple caught between magic-induced desire for each other and circumstances that bar their love — Isolde is betrothed to King Mark, whom Tristan is sworn to serve — received a number of poetic accounts during the Middle Ages. It also inspired one of the landmark operas of the 19th century, Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. Wagner completed this work in 1859, but had to wait half a dozen years for its first production. Meanwhile, he took to presenting orchestral excerpts from the work at every opportunity. For this performance, we hear the most famous of these, the Prelude and "Liebestod." READ MORE

March 21, 2013
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis

March 4, 2012
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Dunn netted in the 84th minute to equalize in Saturday's eventual 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.
The scrappy old vet needs to do a lot more of that if Rovers want to avoid relegation. It's sure to be a tight run for the Rovers, but Dunn will surely leave it all on the field as they claw for survival.
January 29, 2012
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Dunn signed a contract extension that runs until the summer of 2013, reports the Premier League.
Dunn was part of Blackburn's youth system before moving to Birmingham. He returned to Blackburn, and has been one of Steve Kean's more consistent performers.
January 14, 2012
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Dunn scored in Saturday's 3-1 win over Fulham on Saturday.
Dunn has been one of the most consistent performers in an otherwise disappointing season for Blackburn. Things are absolutely turning around for the Rovers though, all starting with their win over Man United around the holidays.
December 26, 2011
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Dunn limped off late in Blackburn's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
Blackburn's terrible injury record grows more with Dunn to be sidelined with what looked like a hamstring problem.

Dunn has missed the last three matches due to a calf problem, Soccerway.com reports.
He could return this week, but it may be best to se him get on the pitch before considering him for a fantasy lineup.

Prove that if $f: [a, \infty) \rightarrow \Bbb R$ is continuous on $[a, \infty)$ and has a finite limite $ \lim_{x\to \infty} f(x)$, then f is uniformly continuous.
I found such definition of uniform continuity: $\forall x_n,y_n \subset [a, \infty) \lim_{x\to \infty} x_n-y_n=0 \Rightarrow \lim_{x\to \infty} f(x_n)-f(y_n)=0$
and tried to do this using Heine's definitions but i got stuck at one point and can't move on. I'd really appreciate any hints!

Japan Mint
The Japan Mint in Osaka is even more famous for its cherry blossom trees than for its history lessons. The 560-meter long entryway is flanked on both sides more than 100 varieties of cherry blossom trees. In mid-April when the blossoms typically bloom – for no more than a week – crowds flock to the site and spend a leisurely afternoon strolling along the pathway, admiring the trees, and having a picnic beneath the pink petals.
Admission to the Japan Mint is free and open to the public during the cherry blossom season. Many visitors during sakura, or the cherry blossom festival, take the opportunity to explore the Mint Museum. The museum contains exhibits on various coins and medals from within and outside of Japan, along with explaining how currency coins are processed.

She mentions that she likes nipple play, we tie up her nipples, she says she likes to be choked, we collar her and chain her to a post, she says she can cum fast and often, we put her in a circuit where she must crawl back and forth between the Sybian and The Fucksall. All of this is scene one. Holly does amazingly well, she fucks until she can fuck no more - or so she thinks - we put her on the Sybian one last time to see if she has another ounce of orgasm in her clit and sure enough, much to her surprise, there is one more lingering deep within her cumming soul.

LAFAYETTE TWP. — A 22-year-old township man died this morning after running his car off the road and striking a tree.
Ryan T. Ringstmeier was driving south along Lake Road about a half mile north of State Route 162 when he apparently went off the left side of the highway, lost control of his 1998 Pontiac Grand Am and struck a tree on the driver's side of the vehicle, according to Sgt. Mark Neff, of the Ohio Highway Patrol's Medina post.
"Excessive speed appears to be a factor in the accident," Neff said. "It looks like (Ringstmeier) was traveling faster than the posted speed limit, which is either 45 or 50 mph."
The accident occurred about 3:50 a.m. today, and Ringstmeier was pronounced dead at the scene, Neff said. There were no other passengers in Ringstmeier's car. No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
Ringstmeier likely did not apply breaks to his vehicle until after he was off the road and into a grassy area before striking the tree, the sergeant said.
Neff noted that Ringstmeier was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Fire and rescue crews had to extract the body from the car, he said.
The accident remains under investigation.

Confused-Is COPD ALWAYS fatal?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
When I was first diagnosed with COPD one of the first things my EX- lung doctor told me was I had COPD. He then told me I had severe COPD; He told me that COPD is ALWAYS progressive and ALWAYS fatal. After two more tests he told me I had 2 years to live. I fired him.
Whenever I read about COPD, there is almost always a kind of disclaimer, such as this one:
"Quitting smoking won't reverse the condition, but it might stop COPD from getting worse."
My confusion: if COPD is a disease with a 100% mortality rate; why always throw in that sneaky disclaimer?
My FEV1 was 37 at 6 years ago. I haven't been tested since. 6 years ago I could hardly manage to walk 30 feet without sob. Now I walk for miles and miles and go up and down stairs.
Any and all comments appreciated. I am so damned happy I found this site. For 6 years I've had no one to discuss things with. Only internet research and my family doc every 3 months.

I have had COPD for 6 years or more. My FEV is 49 as of August.
My Dr. told me the same thing, but he never told me I was going to die. My aunt had severe COPD and one lung removed, she was in the 30 range for years. She quit smoking and went the other day for another test and her lung function was way up and she's feeling great and she is in her 70's. I personally don't see how a Dr. can tell someone how long they have to live. They are not God. Sounds like you are really doing better.

Glad your doing well Tin, I've read horror stories about how often people are misdiagnosed and told they have COPD, when actually what they have is CLAP....just teasen, serious though about the mis-diagnosing, hell, you could have bronchitis or back then, simplex pneumonia, both very manageable, just keep up what your doing, if you die suddenly I get your boat though!

Dale -
IMEO life is a disease that has a 100% mortality rate. Everything else is a crap shoot.
What appears to be one of the problems with our medical profession (along with major portions of the rest of our society) is the tendency not to think things through, avoid doing research and provide competent answers that can be backed up with science and math. And that is if they are being paid to do it. For free? I'll bet on getting betterinfo through common knowledge and urban myths.
COPD is nothing but a container for several diseases that have similar symptoms. Clinical tests (xray, CAT scan, spirograpy, and blood tests can determine the exact nature of the disease, be it emphysema or bronchitis. they can also determine the relative extent and severity of the disease.
They cannot tell you how long you will live. Anyone that thinks they can is a liar and/or a fool. Only God has a line on that.
Sounds like your doctor got lazy and lied. Deserved getting fired. Mine gets a bit lazy, I remind him what I pay him for. They are human and capable of making mistakes. There is nothing wrong with questioning their judgement - keeps them on their toes.

Dale, I'd be very interested to see what new results on a PFT would be for you. With all your exercise and good care, I'd be surprised if there wasn't significant improvement. It can happen!
My pulmonologist is of the opinion that with the right meds, no smoking, good exercise and eating, we can halt the progression, or even improve things. I know that's true in my case.
Yes, if you don't take it seriously or do the right things, it's fatal. But we are just as likely to be hit by a truck, too.
I firmly believe that attitude is everything. Keep up the great work!
Hugs, Sue

You begin to die the minute you are born. The only thing known, so far, that is an absolute is that if you were born you will die.
It may be you have COPD, but die of a heart attack. Then again, you may have diabetes but die of pneumonia. Sure COPD is a toughie, but your odds of living years longer are greater than say, if you've been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.
So, for me, I'm just gonna focus on living this life the very best I can then, who knows, maybe the afterlife will be pretty good, too.
None of the doctors that have treated me have given me any time line so far....nor do I ask. Figure that's up to my Maker, and apparently, He's not finished with me yet.
I do believe by taking care of ourselves, and though
we may not cure COPD, we can arrest its progression while at the same time understanding our lungs age just as the rest of our bodies.

great insight jams.....i know at first i felt like i had a time stamp on my forehead, but what you stated is so true, we begin dying as we age. Hec, in some ways i think we are lucky. I say this because we know we have an incurable disease and have the advantage to live life to the fullest as much as we can, we appreciate life,we are conscious to say the "i love u's", smelling the flowers along the path of life, appreciating each day for the blessing to breathe and be a part of it... whereas others dont have that same appreciation and go thru life miserable. I really try to think of this as a second chance to another type of beginning rather than an ending. Yea, it takes meds to keep me feeling okay, and i have to pay more attention to my health, weight, etc...but im alive.

When I was first diagnosed with COPD, my doctor somberly said to learn to enjoy each day one at a time. At first I thought he was pronouncing a death sentence of sorts upon me, but later, on I discovered he was only giving me some much needed advice that was actually along the sage divine insight of the Great Physician.
One day at a time. Do not be anxious about tomorrow. Slowing down the pace of life elongates one's measures of remaining breath and lessons the strains of stress on one's body, soul, and spirit. Both the good doctor and the Perfect Doctor were spot on.
I'm still testifying to their spoken truth.

Dale: LIFE IS FATAL. Horror stories about my family not believing me----that I could not breathe, etc. Told me I was a baby & lazy.
Finally, an MD diagnosed me. Then, Pulmonary Doctor said an MD was not qualified to diagnose, so I did not have COPD. 5 hours of medical torture: blood gas; heart echocardiagram; Pulmonary Function Test; chest x-rays; on and on. That Pulmonary Doctor never spoke to me after that many hours of tests. I asked at the "check out" desk of the Pulmonary Clinic what the result of all those tests showed. The receptionist said it was a number code,
and she did NOT know what the number code stood for. I waited while she went and asked around. LOL She comes back and says that I have COPD. Um?? Next up; 3 months later: Pulmonary Doctor tells me that I have ONE year to live. He tells me that and I leave, drive home, and sit alone with my little dog. No one to talk to.
I am still alive. Years after being given ONE year to live. I defy all odds; and my new Pulmonary Doctor told me I could not have raised my FEV1 that much. Really? Started around a 22 FEV1,
years ago. Last PFT test I was a 48 FEV1. I AM smoking.
Higher FEV1 while smoking; 10 years after diagnosis? DISCLAIMER: NO ONE DO ANYTHING I DO.
How does one smoke cigarettes; walk a block at first, then work up to walking 2 miles? How does one that keeps quitting cigarettes and picking them back up----still live? How does one with an FEV1 in the gutter, raise the FEV1 up so much?
ANSWERS THAT I PERSONALLY KNOW: I am too stubborn to believe what the experts tell me. I decide to act in an oppositional
manner. Instead of getting worse and dying; I get better and live.
LIFE IS FATAL. One thing is certain; we will all die. When we die; or how much time we have left is UNKNOWN by any medical professional. The previous statements are my opinions (solely) and not the opinions of anyone but myself. Blessings.

Deepak Chopra, the Indian-born medical doctor, is acknowledged as one of the world's greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine. He is a prolific author with more than 36 books (such as How To Know God, The Seven Spiritual Laws Of Success, What Are You Hungry For?, Perfect Health, The Ultimate Happiness Prescription, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, God: A Story of Revelation, Jesus, Buddha, Quantum Healing) and over 100 audio, video and CD-ROM titles, translated into 35 languages with over 20 million copies sold worldwide. Chopra has appeared on numerous TV shows and even had cameos in Hollywood feature films. He continues to help inform our society's understanding of the meaning of health and happiness, and through his creation of The Chopra Center for Well Being, Chopra has promoted his healing approach of using the integration of the best of Western medicine with natural, alternative, and holistic healing traditions. Chopra has popularized wisdom about the crucial connection between body, mind, spirit, and healing through his mission of "bridging the technological miracles of the West with the wisdom of the East."
While Chopra has numerous fans, he also has some critics, both from the conventional medicine and materialistic science realms and from the alternative and "new age" fields. Chopra and some other interviewees featured in the film Thrive: What on Earth Will It Take? (released in November 2011) wrote a letter distancing themselves from the film due to parts of the content of the film that focused on exposing evidence of conspiratorial factions manipulating human civilization. Since Chopra is a celebrity who represents a politically correct version of alternative medicine for the general public, it is not surprising that he feels uncomfortable being associated with a project that openly exposes the power structure that has deliberately disempowered the public and steered them away from natural healing. Those who do expose conspiracies are typically ostracized by the corporate media and institutions that depend upon funding from government or corporate sources.
Thus, when Deepak Chopra speaks as a VIP at a venue which is supported financially by Bank of America and other corporate sponsors, it is unlikely that he will discuss the conspiratorial forces in the banking, industrial, and health care fields that have affected the way health care and medical education are provided in America. He is more likely to focus on the scientific exploration of mind-body medicine and practical guidance for attendees to reduce stress and create more balance and happiness in their lives. If those are subjects that you would like to learn more about then this will be a great opportunity to hear Dr. Chopra speak in person.

Mention "social media" to someone and they inevitably think of the big three: Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
Truth is, however, that there are plenty of other social media platforms. For instance, Google+ often enters the conversation, but there's debate over whether it's a social media tool or part of a larger Google plan to revamp the nature of Web search. You can even argue that video sites such as YouTube qualify as social media channels since they allow users to share information via the Web.
What are some other alternatives to the big three? Let's consider a few of the more popular options — and examine their current marketing value for law firms.
Pinterest is a photo-sharing website that allows you to build and manage collections of images. You can also share the images, and follow and comment on other users' images.
Yes, it sounds like digital scrapbooking, but Pinterest has grown exponentially since its founding in late 2009, and corporate giants such as The Gap, McDonald's and Sony maintain an active presence on it.
Marketing value for law firms: There's some potential. On one hand, it's hard to picture someone going to the site to find a lawyer. At the same time, you could use it to post visual content such as infographics or photos and bios of your associates and partners to help put a human face on your firm. Combine that with the site's growing traffic base, and it's worth considering as a way to help maximize your firm's online presence.
Tumblr is a "microblogging" (i.e., posts that are typically shorter than regular blogs) platform that's quite popular — it hosts nearly 80 million blogs that collectively attract almost daily visitors. Many of its blogs are focused on imagery, but users can also post text, video or even audio files. As with Pinterest and other social media networks, you can follow other Tumblr users, and they can follow you.
Marketing value for law firms: Similar to Pinterest.
Another site that's grown quickly since its 2009 founding, Quora is essentially a massive and active Q&A warehouse. Users (who must register with their real names) ask questions. Other users answer, and still other users rate the answers and post comments.
Marketing value for law firms: Questionable. Answering questions can position you as a thought leader — and other Quora users can "follow" you. But offering answers could also put you in ethical hot water, particularly if you inadvertently share privileged client information or inadvertently form an attorney-client relationship. (It's a good idea to check with your local bar association with these sorts of questions.)
Pinterest, Tumblr and Quora are by no means the only alternatives. There are hundreds of others, with new ones emerging every day, and others — e.g., Friendster and MySpace — fading into obscurity.
Social media has undeniable benefits, but the question with alternative platforms boils down to ROI. Setting up and maintaining a social media presence is a time-consuming activity. If your firm has the resources, and you can fit one of these alternatives into your marketing strategy, it could be worth exploring. If not, it's smarter to stick with the major players — at least until a new competitor emerges and pushes one of them aside.

A bizarre mystery starts with a corpse of a young woman shipped to a storage facility outside of Tokyo in the city of Hachioji. The dead woman's body was in a six-foot long box that was labeled "doll," according to NBC News on May 27.
The Japanese-Brazilian woman's body was discovered inside the box marked "doll" and it was found that she was riddled with multiple stab wounds. She was identified as a nurse, Rika Okada, 29, from the western city of Osaka. The body was shipped to the storage facility using the dead woman's credit card.
Okada had been reported missing two months ago. Police report that the dead woman showed no signs of defensive wounds on her body, despite the many different stab wounds she suffered, according to NewsMax today.
The short-term storage facility's bill was also paid with a credit card belonging to the dead woman. This bizarre story continues with the dead woman's credit card used to pay for the travel and storage arrangements of her body.
The body was in a storage facility that was not far from a childhood friend of the dead woman. She is also a 29-year-old Brazillian Japanese woman and she was a classmate of the dead woman when they were kids.
The dead woman's passport was used illegally by this childhood friend, who was also a Japanese-Brazilian woman, to travel to Shanghai. Luckily she was detained on suspicion of entering the country illegally, but now she is a suspect in the bizarre death of her childhood friend back in March.
The dead body was delivered back on March 24 and Okada was last seen at work on March 21. She went missing after posting to her Facebook page that she was "meeting an old friend," one that she had not seen in a "decade."
It sounds as if she was on her way to visit her friend, the one authorities are holding for questioning for using her passport. So far there is no word on any charges brought against this woman.

In Spain, Super-Thin Ain't In
Maybe it's different overseas. Clearly, the thinspectors are in full force at Madrid's Cibeles fashion show: There's actually nutritionist and endocrinologist who makes sure models with a body mass index (BMI) of less than 18 get the boot. And three just did.
"Their health might be OK, but their appearance is extremely thin," the doc said.
Well, er, that's great. So these girls are punished because they're too thin—even though they may be healthy—but for the models who DON'T look completely emaciated—but are starving themselves to get there—the show must go on?
I won't fault the nutritionist...I mean, she can't be expected to assess a bunch of models and decide who is naturally an 8 but is forcing herself to be a 2, or who subsists on Marlboro Lights during the collections, etc. etc. But let's be real: Isn't this issue broader than a model's BMI? Are models too thin these days?

Dear Bossip: He Was Taking Care Of Me Financially, But The Past Year His Pockets Have Been On Empty
Dear Bossip,
I have been with my boyfriend for nearly two years. He's 42 and I'm 24. I know the age difference sounds bad but I do love him. When I first met him he was a dream come true. He couldn't do any wrong, but they say all that glitters isn't gold, which I found out as time went by.
When we first got together he didn't mention he had a baby on the way, which I found out about. But, he was with me all the time and he had conceived before I even came into the picture, so I forgave him for it and we moved past it. Then came his crazy ass baby mama who was harassing me calling my phone, and even waiting for me in my building. It even got so bad that I had to fight her (I'm too old to be fighting). At that point I had enough. I decided to leave, but he made me feel guilty because he said it was her and not him and he was right, so once again we stayed together.
Now time has passed and he is no longer able to provide for me financially like he was before. It's been a year and still his finances have not improved. He's been a provider since day one so when things got tough I stuck by his side, but now I'm feeling like I can't it anymore. He doesn't ask me for money and he doesn't live with me. I have my own money, but I'm used to him providing. So, I don't know what to do. Should I stick it out for a little bit longer or should I leave since he's older and should be set right by now. (P.S. – He had a good paying job but left to start his own business and that's when the problems started with the money) Please write back I need help making a decision – Need Him To Be A Provider
Dear Ms. Need Him To Be A Provider,
Sniff, sniff – You smell that? Somebody's a gold digger. I just call 'em as I see 'em.
I guess you're right about your statement, "All that glitters isn't gold." Honey, you got some cheap fake gold. That –ish is rubbing off and now you're scratching and itching. Girl, you better be careful before you get a rash, or some Keloids. (Looks over at that small red spot on your left thigh)
But, I don't understand what a 24 year old have in common with a 42 year old. What could you two possibly be talking about? You're from two generations. Chile, you're not from the same musical era, historical era, or social era. Honey, you have no reference to anything he's experienced or done in life. And, I hope he's not trying to keep up with you, acting young and walking around with braids in his head, wearing some One's, with his white Tees, and pants sagging off his ass. Honey, if he's like that then I totally understand the connection. Simple is as simple does. But, I know it goes beyond that. My bad, how foolish of me, he's been breaking you off financially since day one. I get it. It's all about the Benjamins, ba-by! Girl, get that money!
Now you're mad that he can't afford to get your weave tightened every other month. He can't afford to get your mani and pedi every other week. He can't afford the red bottom Christian Louboutin's and he's getting you the orange bottoms from Kristin Labootown. He can't afford the Gucci or LV bags, and he's getting you the knock-off Cucci and IU bags (The "C" almost looks like a "G" and the "IU" almost looks like "LV"). LMBAO!
Girl, here's the thing. He's 42 years old with a baby momma. And, this chick is running up on you and you're fighting her over a man neither of you are married to. Neither of you can hold claim to him. And, neither of you are benefitting from him financially. SMDH! And, on top of it all, he stopped working to start his own business, so he has no income coming in. Uhm, sweetie, what logical person in their right mind will walk away from a job, with a steady paycheck, to go start a business and have no plan or resources for income? Was that really a smart move for someone who is 42 years old? I'll hold on while you answer that.
And, why are you holding on to a man who has a financial responsibility to another woman and child, and he's running around here banging out young chicks, and not making none of you his wife? You've been with him for two years, and I'm sorry, but help me out here, uhm, what type of future do you see yourself having with him? Really? Really! Let's say that you two decide to get married and start having kids, but hold on sweetie, he already has a child, so the household he has to maintain with your high-maintenance ass, and then take care of his responsibility as a dad, hmmmm, this picture is not looking so good.
Besides, the other woman has already proven to be unstable. Sniff, sniff – You smell that? Baby momma drama. Time to pack your –ish and get the hell out! Why are you sticking around putting up with his issues and problems? I just want to yank your little ass and shake some sense into your head. You do not owe him anything. You are not obligated to him for anything. You running that line he ran on you talking about, "He made me feel guilty because he said it was her and not him." You sound like your 12 years old agreeing and saying he was right. The HELL!??! No one can make you feel guilty about anything, especially if they created the situation, but he ran that old man game on you and you fell for it with your young dumb ass!
It's obvious you want to leave, so get your ass out of that damn relationship and move on with your life. Honey, find someone your age or close to it. There are plenty of young, available, intelligent, smart, hard-working, and sexually vibrant men who will love to be with someone like you. Yes, there are men who like taking care of their women, and don't mind shelling out the dollars to keep you looking good. You've sharpened your gold digging skills, now go out there and make use of them. Dig young gold seeker, dig long, hard, and deep. – Terrance Dean

Satellite, Explorer 6, Reconstructed Replica
This is a full-scale replica of the Explorer 6 satellite. The spacecraft was designed to study the electrical and magnetic fields about the Earth and to test devices for scanning cloud cover. It was launched on August 7, 1959. Over its 60 days of operation it provided the most comprehensive data up to then of the Van Allen radiation belts and the geomagnetic field, as well as the first televised cloud cover pictures. This replica was assembled by the program coordinator, Space Technology Laboratories Inc., from original parts that failed to meet flight specifications. The solar panels are plastic mock-ups. The artifact was displayed at the California Museum of Science and Industry until February 1964, at which time it was donated by STL to the Smithsonian Institution.

Two U.S. states are considering an increase in the required age to purchase tobacco products, according to a Yahoo News article published on February 21, 2014.
Legislators in Colorado and Utah are pushing to raise the age to legally purchase tobacco, from 18 to 21 in Colorado and from 19 to 21 in Utah. Measures were approved by lawmakers in each state on Thursday, February 20, 2014, paving the way for the legislation to possibly become law. The movement to increase the legal tobacco age to 21 was inspired, in part, by research showing that a sizable percentage of smokers take up the habit during the teenage years.
"By raising the age limit, it puts them in a situation where they're not going to pick it up until a much later age," said Utah resident Marla Brannum, a supporter of the legislation.
Similar sentiments were expressed in neighboring Colorado.
"What I'm hoping to do is make it harder for kids to obtain cigarettes," said Colorado Rep. Cheri Gerou, a Republican who sponsored the measure.
Neither Colorado nor Utah has a noteworthy problem with teenage smoking. In fact, the rate of teenage smoking in these states is actually lower than the national average. But lawmakers and many concerned parents seem to support the proactive approach. With the present tobacco purchasing age set at 18 in most states, parents worry that the threshold is low enough that kids 16, 17, etc, can more easily obtain cigarettes and other forms of tobacco. By raising the age to 21, they argue, retailers will start to treat tobacco like alcohol and will enforce the law more strongly than before.
These proposals have not been passed into law yet and are bound to be met with opposition. The tobacco industry is all but certain to lobby against the bills and some may even challenge it on Constitutional grounds. An 18 year old is treated as a legal adult in other ways, so why shouldn't he/she be allowed to purchase tobacco?
Still, parents in general are likely to lineup in support of the plan. If teenagers can delay smoking for a few more years, it will help remove tobacco problems from families and from high schools, many of which have a large number of 18 year- olds in the senior class ranks. And any delay, even if for only a few years, could prevent young adults from taking up the habit in later life.

College Hockey:Disallowed Goals Haunt BC in Loss to Massachusetts-Lowell
Worthington's Breakaway Goal Lifts River Hawks
LOWELL, Mass. — Saturday night was 'Star Wars' night at the Tsongas Arena, which seemed appropriate, given the fact that the game between No. 11 Boston College and No. 19 Massachusetts-Lowell seemed like it was played in a galaxy far, far away.
In the end, the talk was more about non-goals than goals along with non-icings, bouncing pucks and good and bad breaks. The final outcome was a 3-1 victory for the host River Hawks, but you couldn't blame the 5,711 in attendance if they left Saturday's game scratching their heads.
In a tight checking game, Boston College had two goals disallowed in the third period and then were befuddled when the linesmen didn't whistle an icing on Lowell when BC was pressing to tie the game, allowing River Hawks' sniper Cory Falite to score an empty-net goal with 3.7 seconds remaining to seal the victory.
Needless to say, BC head coach Jerry York was left asking questions after the game.
"The linesman said it hit one of our sticks," said York, first discussing the non-icing. "[The Lowell defender] is in the top of the faceoff circle and ripped the puck out of the goal. I don't understand how that's not icing."
Backtracking, York had commentary about the two disallowed goals. Both came with the Eagles trailing, 1-0, early in the third.
Twenty seconds into the frame, BC's Ben Smith appeared to score a goal that deflected off of Lowell netminder Carter Hutton (25 saves). Immediately, though, referee Jeff Bunyon signaled no goal, but didn't make any further signal.
After a lengthy video review, Bunyon confirmed the call and then spent a long time explaining the call to York.
"Jeff [Bunyon] told me that 'Smitty' hit it with his hand and then it hit Hutton and rolled into the net," said York.
Lowell coach Blaise MacDonald, who had a good view of the play from the Lowell bench, jokingly said he approved of the call.
"It looked like they were playing beach volleyball out there," laughed MacDonald.
Minutes later, this time with Lowell on the power play, BC had another great scoring chance and again thought they'd evened the score. Defenseman Brian Dumoulin fired a rebound past Hutton at 2:21, but again Bunyon sat on the goal line waiving his arms, this time because the goal came dislodged before the puck entered the net.
"My understanding is that if the goalie knocks the net off intentionally, you have to have a goal," said York. "They said it was part of the play."
The result was the Eagles remaining a goal down, but to their credit, BC finally did tie the game when Ben Smith knocked home a goal-mouth pass with 12:44 remaining.
That, though, wasn't enough as Lowell's Paul Worthington scored on a breakaway with 7:03 remaining, taking a perfect feed from Michael Budd at the offensive blue line, walking in alone, and snapping a shot through the legs of BC netminder John Muse (26 saves).
"I had the defenseman beat and [Michael] Budd made a nice pass up to me," said Worthington. "As I was going down, I tried to shove it at the net and it went five-hole."
"Paul Worthington has tremendous breakaway speed," said MacDonald. "He was just not going to be stopped; that was a tremendous inspirational event for our team."
It was possibly more inspirational for Lowell given recent results. Since returning from the holiday break, Lowell has struggled in the third period, three times giving up game-winning goals in the final minutes of regulation and twice allowing massive comeback efforts by the opposition before eventually winning the game.
So the ability for Lowell to not only answer BC's tying goal, but to then close the game after Worthington's game winner, is something MacDonald feels is key for the River Hawks heading into the home stretch.
"It's tangible experience with a lot on the line," said MacDonald of Saturday's third-period effort. "You play a team like Boston College at home after winning last night. This was a big game; it was hard fought and we got it done."
The game began with a defensive stalemate in the opening period, which finally turned to solid offensive chances late in the opening frame when the River Hawks got on the power play. Both Ben Holstrom and Michael Scheu had doorstep chances just seconds apart, but in both cases Muse made quick-reaction pad saves to keep the game scoreless through one.
It appeared the second period would be more of the same, as neither team could muster much in the grade 'A' department. A late BC power play seemed to be BC's first hope, but a careless turnover at the offensive blue line forced Carl Sneep to haul down a Lowell player to prevent a breakaway.
It was on the ensuing power play that the River Hawks successfully pinned the Eagles in their own end. As the penalty expired, BC looked to be in the clear, but a turnover by Edwin Shea below the goal line allowed Scott Campbell to pick up the loose puck in the slot, walk in alone and patiently deposit the puck under Muse for the 1-0 lead at 18:21.
The loss for BC provides the Eagles an empty weekend, following a 5-4 overtime loss at Boston University, despite solid efforts in both games.
York said at this point his team needs to learn how to win games when the outcome hangs in the balance.
"We have to finish games better," said York. "We're playing well. We're competing well. We're playing pretty solid hockey. We're right there at game time; we've got to make a play. There just wasn't good players making good plays."

With Keeping Up With the Kardashians somehow one of cable's hottest shows, it seems like fame has gotten to the Kardashians' heads and their ensembles. New press leads to more access to stylish duds, so this week we're taking a peek at one of TV's most messed up reality families.
Khloe Kardashian has got to be our favorite of the three sisters. Primarily because she speaks her mind whenever she pleases and because she's the underdog of the group. Always being called the fat one has its effects on a girl's self esteem which may help to explain why she recently spent all of four weeks dating LA Lakers star Lamar Odom before marrying him in a small ceremony for the E! channel! How ridiculous can these girls get?
Back to fashion before we implode with more unanswered questions, here Khloe is rocking the red carpet in one of this seasons favorite looks: the bustier dress. Similar to the designer one Khloe's got on, this Forever 21 Ready or Not Slip Dress ($23). It's super sexy yet mainly covered up, the bustier gives the illusion of lingerie which is always a turn on.
Congrats,on your marriage,I don't watch soap operas but I love Keeping up with The Kardashins.I am a beautiful black mother of 5 and from a family of 7.This is the first Armenian/caucasian family that makes me feel that families of another race is as crazy,and lovin as mine.Please keep keepin it real.

Darkwing Duck (NES) review
"Play control is tight as can be. If you die, it's not because Darkwing Duck failed to jump where you told him to. He can hop with the best of them, grab onto beams above him, and fire several shots at a time. Switching to his special weapon is a snap, too. You'll find yourself comfortable with the controls to their fullest extent within the first five minutes of play."

I bought the 2 plants and there was quite a difference in the size of the plants, the smaller one looked half dead and I wasn't sure it would survive but it did. Both are growing well in pots. The smaller one is still trying to catch up with the bigger one but, at least, it survived. Can't wait for them to start to blossom

Tulane (10-4, 0-3 C-USA) at Southern Miss (10-3, 1-1)
Sat., Jan. 15, 2000, 5 p.m. CST
Green Coliseum (8,095)
Game Data: Tulane (10-4, 0-3 C-USA) looks to win its first Conference USA game of the year tonight against Southern Miss (10-3, 1-1) at Green Coliseum (8,095) ... A win today would be the Wave?s third road win of the season, equaling the team?s total from all of last season ... Tulane is 6-2 in its last eight games in Hattiesburg.
On the Air: The Tulane Basketball Network will broadcast every Tulane regular season game. The flagship station is 50,000 watt WWL-AM 870 in New Orleans. ?Voice of the Green Wave? Ken Berthelot is in his 11th year of calling the action. Joining Berthelot on the home broadcasts will be color analysts Curtis Amann or Rob Koonce. At least seven of Tulane?s regular season games will be televised this season. Four appearances are scheduled for the ESPN family, two for CSSE and one for Fox Sports South.
Tulane Head Coach Perry Clark: Perry Clark is in his 11th year as the Green Wave head coach with a record of 175-138 (.559). Clark has guided Tulane to five 20-win seasons, six postseason appearances (3 NCAA, 3 NIT) and the Metro Conference championship in 1992. He was the 1992 National Coach of the Year and a two-time Metro Conference Coach of the Year (1991, 1992). Only one other coach in school history has more wins or a longer tenure. He is assisted by Anthony Anderson, Greg Gary and Brock Kantrow. Clark is 12-9 against Southern Miss.
The Series: Tonight?s game is the 49th meeting of the two schools with Tulane holding a 30-18 series advantage. This is the 25th consecutive season in which USM and Tulane have met, the longest active streak in Tulane history. The Golden Eagles have won three of the last four meetings, but Tulane won the last one, 68-61, on Feb. 11, 1999 in Hattiesburg. Tulane has an 17-7 record in series games played in New Orleans, 11-10 in Hattiesburg, and 2-1 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 77 of the Tulane media guide.
Last Time Out: Led by Kenyon Martin?s career high 27 points, top-ranked Cincinnati held Tulane to 26.9 percent shooting and just seven field goals in the second half in earning a 72-59 victory. Martin scored 16 of his points in the second half as UC turned up the defensive pressure and erased a nine-point halftime deficit. Trello Galloway ignited the Wave in the first half, scoring 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting. He was one of three Tulane players to finish in double figures.
Scouting Southern Miss: The Golden Eagles (10-3, 1-1 C-USA) enter play this evening with a perfect 5-0 mark at home this year. USM has not played since a 69-67 loss at Louisville on Jan. 8. As a team, Southern Miss is outscoring the opposition by 8.9 points per game and holds them to just a .372 field goal percentage. Individually, the team is led by David Wall, who averages 17.5 points per game.
Behind the Arc: One positive to come out of Wednesday?s loss to Cincinnati was the Wave?s three-point shooting. Trello Galloway, Sterling Davis and Dylan Osean each connected twice from behind the arc as Tulane equaled a season high with seven treys. For the game, the Wave shot 46.7 percent, the second-best percentage of the year.
Leading By Example: Seniors Sterling Davis and Dylan Osean continue to do a fine job of leading this team with solid efforts. The duo combined to score 19 of the team?s 24 points in the second half vs. Cincinnati, and each finished with a team-high 14 points. Both players carry a double-figure scoring average into today?s game.
Second Half Slump: Despite the fact that Tulane has outscored the opposition by an average of 4.4 points per game in the second half this season, the last two games have not helped that average. In the last two games, the Green Wave has been outscored 88-57 in the second half and lost halftime leads of eight points to Houston and nine to Cincinnati. Opponents have shot 57.7 percent (30-of-52) from the floor in the second half of those two contests.
Finding the Open Man: Dylan Osean and Ledaryl Billingsley displayed unselfish play on Wednesday, as each posted a season high in assists. Osean (4) and Billingsley (3) combined for seven of the squad?s 14 assists.
Nice Effort: Freshman Trello Galloway certainly rose to the occasion against top-ranked Cincinnati. The Myrtle Beach, S.C. native equaled a career high with 12 points and set a new career best with six boards. Galloway was a first-half spark for the Wave with 10 points, including 2-of-2 from three-point range. It was his second double-figure scoring effort of the season.
Take Note: Tulane is 7-0 this season when collecting more assists than turnovers and 8-1 when Waitari Marsh passes out at least five assists.
This Time Last Season... the Wave had a 6-7 record (1-4 C-USA) after a 83-68 loss at Memphis on Jan. 14. At the time Tulane had a .426 FG percentage, a -3.0 rebound margin, and a +3.3 scoring margin. A year later, the Wave has four more wins, a 45.8 FG percentage, a +2.2 rebound margin, and a +9.1 scoring margin.
Up Next:
Tulane has one of its busiest stretches of the season, as the squad will play three games in
the next nine days. The Wave hosts South Florida on Jan. 19, UAB on Jan. 23 and New
Orleans on Jan. 24.

"We are part of a broader community, and we have a responsibility to invest in society today, in order to make sure that there will be a business context where both we and society can thrive tomorrow." James S. Turley, Chairman and CEO
A responsible business strategy and the use of our skills to improve society is how we make a positive contribution to the world — and create a better tomorrow. We all need to ask ourselves: "How can I make a difference?"
At EY, we ask ourselves what we can do to make a difference — not just for our clients or our own business, but:
As an organization and as individuals, our actions affect the world around us. That's why it's important that we combine our energy and enthusiasm with our professional skills to make a difference.
On these pages, we highlight several important aspects of our corporate responsibility. You'll also read how we engage with our communities to drive change and explore ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
Education and entrepreneurship bring real benefits to communities in terms of job creation and social cohesion. And as the world gets smaller, pressures on the environment grow. By focusing on these three areas, we can help build a better future.
Our Corporate Responsibility framework
Our people are the heart and soul of corporate responsibility. With support from our organization, they volunteer their time and experience, making a difference in their communities and building valuable leadership skills along the way.
To demonstrate their commitment to corporate responsibility, some of our people have shared their volunteer stories. Our leaders also discuss EY's commitment to corporate responsibility, sharing why it's important to the company and to them personally.
Our goals are straightforward — to recognize the contributions of our people and to inspire others to ask: "How can I make a difference?"

3:00 update: So busy this morning and anxious to get out there, neglected to update. Beautiful day of Spring skiing with really fun snow, little firmer in the morning at the bottom and just right soft and corning up this afternoon. Groomers reporting in at 5 am with partly cloudy skies, there's been snow off and on through the night, short of an inch. Wind is light on the mountain top and calm on the slopes with a temperature of 26 degrees. Corduroy has been tilled out with a little coat of powder since Sundays closing. Forecast calling for a chance of additional snow, warming temperature. Come up and enjoy the best in spring skiing on our north facing slopes. Purchase your 2014-15 Season Pass and use it for the rest of this season.

I'd like to schedule a report to run weekly that has the beginning and ending parameters change from week to week without having to open the schedule instance to change the parameters manually. Is this possible?
I'm scheduling a Crystal report using Business Objects Server.
Hi Reshma
Which product are you using?Also mention its version.
Hi Reshma,
According to my understanding you have a report with start and end date parameters and you would like to schedule it weekly.
However you want the date parameters to change automatically. I think here you need to change the parameters manually as once a report is scheduled for a particular there are no means to change the parameters values for the next parameter value.
I hope this helps you.
Hi Soni,
I am using the CR developer tool XI R2 and deploying the reports to BO server. The BO Server also has the same version ie CR XI R2.
The requirement that has come up from our clients are:
They would want a report to be generated manually through infoview with the start date and end date they wpuld want to give. They shoudl also be able to schedule the same report and the start date and end date changed automatically each month/week as per the frequency.
Is this possible? If yes then how it can be achieved?
Hi Reshma
It is possible to generate a report manually through infoview and the start date and end date can be provided once the report gets generated.
However it won't be possible to schedule the same report such that the start date and end date would get changed automatically each month/week as per the frequency.
You would definitely need to provide the parameters (start date and end date) once you schedule the report manually each time.
I hope this answers your question.

Formation of Academic Procession
The academic procession, which includes the president, trustees, marshal, provost, deans, faculty, and invited guests, will follow the candidates into the arena. The audience should stand and remain standing until the ceremony is declared open by the Grand Marshal.
Ceremony Closing
To signify the closing of each ceremony, the president will ask candidates to rise at their seats for the conferral of degrees. HPD graduates will recite their professional oaths. Degree conferral is an important part of commencement. To ensure that you do not miss the actual conferring of your degree, please make sure to schedule a sufficient amount of time. NSU Commencement ceremonies are usually less than two-and-a-half hours in length.
At the conclusion of commencement, all will stand while the Grand Marshal leads the stage party from the arena, followed by the faculty and candidates. Guests are asked to remain in their seats until everyone has left the floor and meet their graduates outside on the Alvin Sherman Library Quad.

Despite the dating news update, the publication added the infuriating twist: "We learn that Kristen is keen for a reunion, but Rob is feeling a little insecure and does not want to suffer a heart break again." Not content to stop there, they brought in the old love cheat card, accusing her once again.
Stewart dissed the gossips, on no uncertain terms, in her Marie Claire interview back in January. But what must have hurt was the stinging national poll, a painful reminder of the implications of the hot kisses that ended Stewart's romance with Pattinson, Hot kisses were deemed "infidelity." However, fewer women would have been outraged by Stewart today than those who were angry in 2013.
Men and women's views of cheating kisses 2014 and 2013
In 2013 a full 100 percent of women queried agreed that "passionately kissing someone else is cheating." This year, just 90 percent of women agreed and in terms of the men, those numbers decreased as well -- only 75 percent agreeing in 2014 vs. 86 percent in 2013: "Second Annual State of Dating in America (TM) Report."
Do they have a reconciliation chance?
Is there a chance that the former lovebirds will reunite? As each continued focusing on new films, we thought they would eventually fade from the media and perhaps reunite at Coachella 2014 as they did with Coachella 2013 after keeping out of the public eye. Sad to say this never happened. But time as passed and the two have so much history, that it will be difficult for them to remain apart.
