The Perfection Point: Sport Science Predicts the Fastest Man, the Highest Jump, and the Limits of Athletic Performance
ISBN13:by Brenkus, John
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 8/31/2010.

What's the fastest a human can run the 100-meter sprint? What's the longest a human can hold his breath? What are the limits of human performance? Welcome to The Perfection Point. Until 1954, common wisdom and scientific knowledge considered a sub-four-minute mile an impossible feat for a human. But then Roger Bannister broke that mark, followed quickly by a host of other athletes. Today the world record stands at 3 minutes, 43 seconds, yet even that number doesn't tell the full story of how fast humans can run a mile-records are a mark of how well people have done, not how well they can do. What's the actual limit? The answer lies in The Perfection Point. In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, John Brenkus, the host, co-creator, and executive producer of ESPN's Sport Science, ventures across the sports world to provide an in-depth look at the absolute limits of human performance. Beginning with the current world records for a variety of sports, Brenkus finds the "perfection point" for each, zeroing in on the speeds, heights, distances, and times that humans will get closer to but never exceed. Combining cutting-edge science with the fundamentals of each sport, Brenkus answers questions as old as competition itself, exploring the outer realm of what's possible in athletics. Using engrossing and accessible language, he applies statistics, physics, and physiology to uncover perfection points such as: the highest dunk; the longest home run; the fastest mile; the longest golf drive; the heaviest bench press. Intriguing, detailed, and controversial, the answers that Brenkus provides are essential reading for every sports fan. For years, coaches, pundits, and experts have speculated about the extremes of human ability. The Perfection Point finally provides the answers.

Where's Charlie Trie?
The leader of the country implicated in funneling money into U.S. elections comes to America. Several figures in the fundraising scandal, including Charlie Trie, flee to China in order to evade subpoenas.
But other than one 15-second item on Good Morning America on how Clinton had asked China's Jiang Zemin about funneling money into the U.S., the morning and evening shows skipped the subject. Today's Matt Lauer interviewed National Security Adviser Sandy Berger on October 30, but didn't say a thing about fundraising. The night before, however, Ted Koppel did press Berger.
When Berger deflected Koppel's question about what Clinton asked Zemin, by saying the Chinese deny the allegations, Koppel pushed: "No, I understand that. My question was did the President raise it and how forcefully?" Berger claimed Zemin said "he would cooperate." Koppel interjected: "Including sending Charlie Trie back to the United States or anyone else who may be sitting over there with information?" That led to this exchange:
Berger: "I have no idea whether they have control or know where Charlie Trie is or not."
Koppel: "Oh, I'll bet you they could find him if they wanted to and I think you know that, too."
Berger: "No, I think this is an investigation being conducted by the Justice Department, being conducted by congressional committees, not the..."
Koppel: "I'm simply asking did the President or anyone in his behalf ask the Chinese would they send Charlie Trie back?"
Berger: "The President said will you cooperate with investigations and the Chinese said yes."
Koppel: "But is it your understanding that when that sort of broad question is raised that that includes within it, I mean would Chinese cooperation include returning to the United States people who are being sought here under subpoena for questioning by Congress?"
Berger: "Well, if that is something that is part of the investigation."
Koppel: "Well, I think it is. Don't you?"

The gaming industry was shocked when Joseph Staten left his role as Creative Director for "Destiny" at Bungie to return to Microsoft Studios earlier this year. The question of what Xbox One games he has been working on since his return was revealed Saturday via the discovery of an update to his LinkedIn profile, and it's not "Halo."
According to Staten's profile, he is now involved with "IP development, writing and narrative design for XBOX first-party games including Sunset Overdrive, Scalebound and Crackdown."
"Crackdown" took the honors of ending Microsoft's E3 2014 press conference with an impressive CGI trailer showing multiple agents working together to bring down a crime lord. This included bringing down a building, which was the setup for the confirmation that Cloudgine from the original developers of the game on the Xbox 360 would provide destructible environments in the game.
Meanwhile, "Scalebound" is the new exclusive Xbox One title from Platinum Games and game director Hideki Kamiya. Again, all that was shown was a CGI trailer showing a character being chased by monsters before fighting them off with his dragon partner and then facing off against an even larger foe.
Those are the two Xbox One games that Staten will have the most influence as they are still very early in their development with "Crackdown" coming in 2015 and "Scalebound" not having a release date yet. "Sunset Overdrive" has been in development at Insomniac Games for a couple of years now and is due out this October, So, Staten's influence there will primarily be on the finishing touches.
Staten spent 15 years with Bungie and helped create both the "Halo" and "Destiny" universes. This included roles as writer, creative director and design director. He even wrote the "Halo: Contact Harvest" novel which detailed the disastrous first encounter between the humans and Covenant in the "Halo" universe.

If the pre-screening is passed, an audition will be scheduled with one of the Jacobs School of Music choral ensembles during the February audition weekend. The audition process will consist of four parts: 1) a written diagnostic examination, 2) a private conducting session with the Choral Conducting faculty, 3) a conducting session with an SATB choir, and 4) an interview with the Choral Conducting Department faculty.
1.)The written diagnostic examination will be administered to all applicants to determine the depth of their musical knowledge and interests, current research skills, analysis skills, etc. (Note that this examination is not in lieu of the graduate entrance examinations.) This exam will include a short dictation of a four-part Bach chorale and identification of select choral scores.
2.)During the private conducting session with the Choral Conducting faculty, the applicant will be expected to conduct the section "Let Nimrod, the mighty hunter"(Nimrod Chorus) from Benjamin Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb (from rehearsal 2 up to rehearsal 9, Boosey & Hawkes edition). The applicant will also conduct a recitative and be prepared to sing it as well. Applicants should prepare the following recitative according to their intended degree program.
- MM applicants-Handel: Recitative: "Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of Hosts" from Messiah.
- DM applicants-Haydn: Recitative: "Gleich offnet sich die Erde Schoss" ("Straight opening her fertile womb") from Die Schopfung (The Creation)-in German.
Both the choral section from Rejoice in the Lamb and the recitative will be accompanied by piano.
3.)The conducting session with the SATB chorus will last approximately 10-12 minutes. The applicants should choose one of the pieces from the repertoire list below and be prepared to rehearse and perform the selection in the original language. Select one movement of a multi-movement work, but be prepared to discuss the complete work during the interview. The applicant will be expected to show advanced musicianship, knowledge of the voice, and exemplary choral rehearsal techniques. Vocal scores will be provided for the chorus; applicants should bring their own full score. The applicant should communicate with the Choral Conducting Department to make sure he/she is using a compatible edition. Notify the Choral Office (812) 855-0427 of your choice of audition piece at least two weeks before your audition date.
Select from the following:
- Bach, Cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV 4 (Carus Verlag)
- Beethoven, Mass in C Major, Op.86 (Breitkopf)
- Brahms, Ein deutsches requiem (Movements I & IV) (Peters)
- Handel, Messiah, (excluding Hallelujah Chorus) ed. Watkins-Shaw (Novello)

- Verdi, 'Va, pensiero' from Nabucco
Note: For all standard repertoire, be prepared for the chorus to read all notes and dynamics. Do not rehearse pitches except in the few cases where necessary: spend time on interpretive ideas such as articulations, performance practice, rhetorical gestures, etc. The goal is not to get through the music, but rather to take one section and make it sound as you want it to sound.
Please also note: The applicant may be asked to warm-up the ensemble (no more than 5 minutes) on their audition day. It would be prudent to prepare a short warm-up in the event that you are chosen to do so with the ensemble.
4.)The interview portion with members of the faculty will consist of an informal discussion of choral music, the applicant's background,and the morning conducting audition. The applicant will be asked to demonstrate her or his ability in sight singing, keyboard skills, score-reading, transposition, and analysis. The applicant may also be asked to give an analysis of and/or sing parts of the audition repertoiore.
Choral conducting applicants with strong music theory skills are encouraged to schedule an interview for a music theory assistantship with the Office of Music Admissions. (Please read the important qualifying information regarding music theory AI auditions on pages 14-15. Note that this examination is not in lieu of the graduate entrance examinations.)
All applicants to the choral conducting program must audition in person. The Choral Department does not admit students based on video or audio recordings sent with applications to the Jacobs School of Music.
PLEASE NOTE: Evidence of an acceptable TOEFL score must be submitted together with the application by December 1, 2016. If an admissible TOEFL score of (560 PBT, 223 CBT, 84 IBT) for MM admission consideration or (600 PBT, 250 CBT, 100 IBT) for DM admission consideration has not been received by the Office of Admissions by the application deadline of December 1, 2016, the application will not be processed and you will not be scheduled to audition.

As a kid I want to do everything by myself....and I still live like this, except, now I want to play also with others and I love to show and teach how to play with fabric, so I did start to work on sewing step by step tutorials with my own patterns.
Will you play with me? Come, the fun is starting...
Could a woman have too many shoes? Maybe, but I(tm)m not close to that jet, so I design shoes. It is something spatial if you have a handmade pair of shoe. It feels good if you have a designer pair of shoes, and your limit is just a budget.
I think it is special also if you have your own pair of shoes. Not just that you wear them, but that you could make them. With a little help of instructions you could get your perfect pair of shoes in your favorite color combination.
They are totally handmade and they are handmade by you, yes, by you alone.
How good is this? I really like it.
Also you don(tm)t need to have all cobblers(tm) tools, just two needles, and a good knife and shoe cement - glue. That is all.
The shoes are comfortable, this is my big thing. They are gorgeous, simple and chick. Every stitch on them is made by your hands just with two needles. If you have it; you could also use stitching awl, but still they are made by you and just for you or your love ones.
I did make the video too, so it will be even easier, but it is actually not hard to make them, because you just need to make 3 stitches, and they repeat so when you will finish first stitch in the heel section, you will already know how to do everything else too.
So, if you love to have comfy shoes this is for you, enjoy the walk.
PS; pattern document is made for A4 printer settings and for Letter size printer settings.
Have a nice day, and enjoy in sewing.
This pattern is for personal use only. COMMERCIAL USE IS PROHIBITED. (c)Lidija Miklavcic 2013

Living in the Bluegrass Region gives us access to one of the finest exports – Kentucky Whiskey / Bourbon. Whiskey is cured in brand-new oak barrels, so there are always old barrels to be bought from the distilleries or found at flea markets. These barrels make wonderful planters for small gardens or plants, but they also make the perfect container for a water garden.
Whiskey-barrel water gardens are hardy in zones 6 through 9 and look great on a patio, front porch or deck. When searching for the perfect barrel, make sure it is a sturdy half barrel that sits firmly on the ground. Also make sure it has at least two metal hoops.
There are two ways to prepare a barrel to hold water for the garden. Some people like to line their barrels with thick black plastic in order to hold the water, while others like to keep their barrels in the natural state. I feel since these barrels are built to hold whiskey for several years without leaking, then it should be leak-proof enough for water.
Make sure to place the barrel where you want it to be, because once it's full of water, you will not be able to move it. Either line your barrel with plastic up to an inch from the rim, or fill your barrel with water and top off over several days until the oak soaks in enough to make a permanent seal. With either method, drill a small hole about one inch from the top to use as an overflow release in case of extreme rain.
Place clean concrete blocks or bricks in order to bring your plants higher up into the barrel. Select water plants of different varieties, sizes and shapes, also consider the type of plant. Some plants are just oxygenators which need to be underwater, some on float on top of the water, and some must be secured in submergible pots. Here are just a few to choose from:
- • Hornwort – oxygenator, submergible
- • Parrot feather – oxygenator, floater
- • Fairy moss – floater
- • Water hyacinth – floater; cleans water of pollutants
- • Water lilies – used for color; must submerge roots about 8 to 12 inches
- • Pickerel weed – makes a bold statement; submerge up to 12 inches
There are numerous websites and gardening catalogs that have a large variety of water plants to choose from; just remember that less is more.
A word about mosquitoes – you have two options in controlling mosquitoes and their larvae. One is to add the small cakes added to water to destroy mosquitoes, but they don't hurt the plants. The other option is to add goldfish or mosquito fish to the garden; these must be removed before cold weather in order to survive.

Governor signs bill to preserve city arts funding
It's official! The governor today signed a bill preserving arts funding in Seattle.
Here's Mayor Mike McGinn's statement: "This is a great day for arts in our city. Governor Chris Gregoire's signature on SB 6574 today preserves hundreds of thousands of local dollars for Seattle arts organizations this year to help support our city's diverse communities. Fighting for the ability to continue to collect these funds at Husky football games was a priority in our legislative agenda this year. I would like to thank Councilmember Nick Licata for his leadership on the City Council on this effort, Senator Kohl-Welles for prime-sponsoring the bill, and the entire Seattle delegation for their work and support."
The Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs receives 75 percent of city admission tax revenues. Our 2012 allocation is just over $5 million.
SB 6574 addressed an unintended consequence triggered by the UW Husky football team's temporary move this year to CenturyLink Field. The team's move could have resulted in a potential loss of up to $900,000 in estimated admission tax revenue to the city, jeopardizing a projected $675,000 designated for the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs' funding programs.

On the Friday of Memorial Day weekend in bustling Washington, D.C., tourists visiting the White House got to see more than they bargained for when a man stripped down to his birthday suit, assaulted a Secret Service agent and then tried to scale the fence outside of the White House entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue around 3 p.m. on May 23. The naked fence climber has been identified as Michel Bechard, according to NBC News.
A spokesperson for the Secret Service said that agents with the Secret Service that were on the scene quickly subdued the naked Bechard, tackled him to the ground and got him covered up. Prior to his getting naked, Bechard reportedly asked permission to pass through the White House gated entrance to "attend a meeting." When personnel said that he couldn't enter the grounds, Bechard stripped.
Chuck Todd, Chief White House Correspondent for NBC News, happened to be on the scene when Bechard tried scaling the fence. Todd said that officers took control of Bechard and covered the naked man in "silver foil like blankets."
The man was adamant that he had an appointment with President Obama as he yelled and removed his boxers ... That was seconds before his naked body was tackled to the ground.
Lafayette Park, the area where Bechard tried streaking onto the White House property, is a popular vantage point for tourists trying to get a good view of the White House, and is also a popular spot for protest rallies. It isn't known whether or not Bechard was actually protesting anything though. The Secret Service reported that Bechard sustained minor injuries during his scuffle with officers and had to be taken to the hospital.
The Washington Post reported that Bechard's formal arrest would take place after he was examined at the hospital. As of this writing, any charges against the man are still pending. Secret Service spokesperson, George Ogilvie, did not know what Bechard's motive was for getting naked and trying to get onto the White House grounds.

You can't find a woman preacher or priest anywhere in the bible. Show me a bible verse of one and I'll agree with you. Woman can do a lot like prophesy, gifts of the Holy Spirit, be called disciples, be helpers of the church, but nowhere is there ever one preacher in the New Testament to the church, SORRY! [/quote] see my post above, 12 women DID and that was LEFT OUT OF YOUR BIBLE [/quote] That's a down right lie! [/quote]
Original Message
you bet they are!
don't let anyone tell you that women are to be silent.
God used many powerful women to teach, preach, judge, prophesy, etc.
God called and used women preachers in the Old Testament.
a. DEBORAH - Judges 4:4-5. Deborah was a Judge for both civil and criminal cases. The children of Israel came to her for judgment. She was the chief ruler of Israel for 40 years, giving orders to the Generals and all the army. She did the work of an evangelist, prophetess, Judge, and a preacher. God gave her authority over the mighty (Judges 5:13).
b. MIRIAM - Exodus 15:20; Numbers 12:1; Micah 6:4. She was a Prophetess and a Song Leader in Israel.
c. HULDAH - 2 Kings 22:14. Five men went to Sister Huldah and communed with her. She spoke to a congregation of men concerning the book of the Law. A female preached to a man's congregation, and her message was taken to the nation and produced a revival.
d. MAHER-SHALAL-HASH-BAZ'S MOTHER - Isaiah 8:3. She was a prophetess.
8. God called and used women preachers in the New Testament.
a. The first message of the Resurrection of Christ was spoken by women to a group of men.
b. Anna - Luke 2:36-38. She must have prophesied in church, because she did not depart from the temple.
c. Phillip had 4 daughters who prophesied. Acts 21:9.
d. Priscilla assisted Paul in his revival meeting and even taught Apollos in the way of the Lord more perfectly.
e. Phebe - Romans 16:1-2. Paul commended Phoebe to the Church at Rome and requested that they assist her in her business. She was one of Paul's assistants in the work of the Lord and delivered the Book of Romans to the people from the hand of Paul.
9. There is no sound reason why a woman or man should not preach the Gospel. There is a desperate need in the church for more workers. Laborers are few, and God will use any and all who will go for Him. Some say God will not use a woman to preach, because "The woman was deceived," but remember Romans 5:12: "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world." It seems to indicate that Adam was just as guilty as Eve in the fall of man. If anyone should be kept from preaching because of sin, it would be Adam. But God does not forbid anyone from preaching, because of Adam's or Eve's sin.
10. 1 Cor. 14: 34-35 does not say anything about women preachers. If Paul intended this verse as a general rule to bar all women from speaking in church, then they cannot teach Sunday School, testify, pray, prophesy, sing, or even get saved, and this would contradict the rest of the Bible (Acts 2:4; Acts 2:16-18).
Paul was rather dealing with a particular problem in the church. Women were not educated as were the men in that day; therefore the women would talk back and forth to their husbands in church and ask questions concerning the sermon. Paul said, "If they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." If they want to talk things over let them wait until they get home. This rule is still good for the church today, where people are talking and causing confusion in the church service. They should not speak in church. (Not in the back of the church either before or after services.)
If a woman cannot speak in church, then she cannot speak in prayer meeting, young people's service, etc., for who can deny that Sunday School and Prayer meeting, and Youth work are parts of church? Christ's Church is not a building, but rather it is found where two or three are gathered together in His name, whether at a street meeting, in a tent, a home, church, classroom or anywhere else.
11. 1 Timothy 2:12 is not a blanket rule for all women of all churches. If it were, then the women could not speak at all, for the same verse that tells them not to teach also tells them to be silent.
If all women had to keep silent in church, then that would be promoting disobedience to God, for they could not prophesy, pray, testify, sing, exhort, do personal work, or even get saved.
Whenever an interpretation to a verse contradicts the rest of the teaching of the Bible, we know this interpretation is incorrect, for the Holy Spirit will never contradict His own Word.

In the beginning, computers were big and frail and they were kept inside air conditioned buildings. But, as they became much smaller and slightly less frail people started taking them places and so was born a market for rugged laptops and other electronic equipment that could be taken into harsh environments by people such as EMTs, firemen, soldiers, field office workers and airport luggage handlers.
To define what exactly "rugged" means when dealing with electronics such as laptops a few standards have evolved over time:
The military gave us standards such as MIL-STD-810 (now up to revision F). MIL-STD 810F deals with how well the equipment survives harsh environmental factors such as temperature, temperature variations, vibration, moisture and dust. When submitted for compliance testing with this standard a piece of equipment is tested under temperature extremes, subjected to carefully controlled dust and sand storms, dropped from specific heights, shaken with just the right amount of violence and so on. This testing is time consuming and expensive and must be redone for every product line and sometimes for every product in a product line.
Another standard for ruggedness is the International Electrotechnical Commission's IPCODE ratings. These are written as follows: IP followed by two numbers and sometimes some letters after the two numbers. In an IP code, the first digit indicates the smallest size object that will not be able to enter. For example a 1 would mean large body parts such as hands would not be able to enter the equipment. A 6 would mean that dust should not be able to enter the device. The second digit indicates how well the equipment resists intrusion by water. For example a 6 would mean that it would resist "powerful jets of water". That is really how the spec is written.
A piece of equipment rated "IP69K" for example is so well protected from the environment that it can be steam cleaned.
When a manufacturer claims that their equipment is "rugged" it is not always clear what is meant. It is important to read any documentation provided and to discern if the product complies completely with MIL-STD-810F for example. Perhaps it complies partially? Perhaps it would comply if it was submitted for testing, but it has not been submitted and the cost savings has been passed on to you. Lucky you.
Phillip Marlowe: "...I don't mind if you don't like my manners, I don't like them myself. They are pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings."

Here's one thing we can all agree on in this polarized political climate: The shooting in Aurora was an unspeakably horrible tragedy. What many Americans disagree on is what can be done to stop such events. The proposed solutions couldn't be more dissimilar. Anti-gun politicians say the shooting proves the need to restrict gun rights. Meanwhile pro-gun activists argue that a good guy with a gun could've stopped the Aurora shooter, if only the movie theater didn't ban concealed carry.
Ted Nugent weighed in with the following tweet: we pray for all victims&lovedones of demonshooter in CO& we SALUTE the brave warriors who saved lives IF only they would hav had a good gun.
Anti-gun politicians scoff at the idea. They can't cite any examples, yet they insist that somehow a good guy with a gun would only make the situation worse. Could someone with a concealed-carry permit have stopped the Aurora shooting? I'm as pro-gun as they come, but the truth is I don't know. However, I also know that if a man intent on evil enters a room and starts shooting, if I have a gun, at least I've got a fighting chance.
I argue this not merely based on hypotheticals, but actual events in which armed citizens stopped would-be mass killers.
For instance, in 2002 a disgruntled former student opened fire at the Appalachian School of Law, killing two professors and a student. The incident, though tragic, would have been far worse if not for the actions of two brave students, who ran to their vehicles, obtained personal firearms and immobilized the gunman–all without firing a shot. And in the midst of a 1997 shooting spree at a high school in Pearl, Miss., the assistant principal retrieved a gun from his car and held the shooter for police, preventing further tragedy. More recently, a hero with a concealed-carry permit used his gun to stop a knife-wielding man who had already stabbed two random people and sought further victims.
Lawful, armed citizens have squashed similar attacks in Tyler, Texas, at a church in Colorado Springs, Colo., a mall in Salt Lake City, Utah, and elsewhere. In all aforementioned incidents, good, law-abiding people met force with force, and they saved lives. They exercised their rights to self-defense, a basic human liberty that's all but neutralized by "gun-free" zones.
So, I won't argue that an armed good guy would've stopped the Aurora shooter. But it's possible.

Problem A: Given a set of polynomial equations $ f_1=0,\ldots,f_m=0 $, where the $ f_i $'s are multivariate polynomials with $ n $ variables over a field $\mathbb F$, decide whether there is a (simultaneous) solution to these equations.
Question: What is the computational complexity of Problem A?
Note: Over finite fields $\mathbb F$, Problem A seems to be NP-complete. But what about over the reals, rationals, complex numbers?

No Escape
Shannon K. Butcher
October 2008, Romantic Suspense
Forever, $6.99, 452 pages, Amazon ASIN 0446510289
I havent read that many great romantic suspense books lately, but this story certainly met my craving for a romantic, compelling suspense tale.
Grant Kent is on his way to a new security job after leaving the army when he gets a strange call from a former foster sibling, Isabelle Carson. Hes always cared for her, so he makes a detour and stops by her house. She then tells him some startling news: Three of their former siblings, all foster children to a treacherous child molester, are dead due to apparent suicide. Isabelle is convinced its murder.
Together, the two try to warn the others in line to die and also convince the police that theres actually a crime occurring while protecting Isabelles foster son from an abusive, possessive father. In the meantime, the two fight attraction and affection for each other. Both had troubled childhoods, and cope with it in different ways. Isabelle wants to start her own foster family and simply doesnt trust nor expect any man to put up with these dreams, while Grant knows he can never be the father she wants for her children.
I admit, when I read the prologue to this book, I wasnt impressed. However, things quickly turned around. I really liked Isabelle and Grant, and thought they were a wonderful couple (Grants occasional hard-headedness aside). Their romance didnt feel forced, like some suspense romances are, nor was it a case where I couldnt help but doubt their HEA since their love was based more on protectiveness on the part of an alpha hero. Grant genuinely cared for Isabelle, just as she genuinely cared for him. I could very easily picture a romance forming between the two in normal circumstances, which cant be said for all romance novels.
The suspense in this book isnt exactly a mystery - we know who the murderer is about halfway through the book - but rather how it all ties together. In this, Butcher excels. I was very much impressed by how well all of the complex pieces of the story fit together. In the beginning I worried that too many things were going on, but this proved to be a pointless concern as Butcher mapped out the story and its elements very well.
The identity of the murderer was also very interesting, as were his motivations. Though we did know his identity fairly early, it was fascinating to see parts of the story from his perspective. It isnt easy to create a sympathetic serial killer, but I think Butcher managed it. Crazy, yes. But evil? No, not exactly. It was an interesting choice, and one that I enjoyed.
Im not entirely sure why, but I picked up No Escape with fairly low expectations. I put it down more than satisfied. This one is a solid, quality romantic suspense thats well worth reading.

How to Calculate the Tax Paid on a Lease Buyout
Original post by Ash Miller of Demand Media
When purchasing your lease from a bank, expect to pay the car's buyout amount, motor vehicle fees and a tax rate specific to your area. To calculate your tax charges, you'll have to know your lease purchase price and if any additional fees or charges are taxable. If you complete the lease purchase with a dealership, for example, expect to pay a taxable document fee. Other purchases, such as an aftermarket warranty or gap insurance, are also added to your taxable purchase price.
Step 1
Review your contract or call your leasing bank to determine your lease buyout price. Obtain your area's tax rate by contacting your state's department of motor vehicles or by visiting its website. Many states issue a statewide rate, which is increased by individual towns or counties.
Step 2
Ask your lender if it charges additional taxable fees. If you're purchasing from a dealer, ask the finance manager which fees it charges, and which are taxable. If you plan to purchase aftermarket items, add the cost of each item to your car's purchase price.
Step 3
Multiply your taxable purchase price by your tax rate. Round the result up to the nearest cent to determine your tax cost.

Nearly half of the people in the world do not have enough food. According to the United Nations that number amounts to around, "842 million," who each day don't know where their next meal is going to come from.
And the United States, one of the supposed richest countries in the world, hunger is not an unknown commodity. A recent MSN news article states, "1 in 5 Americans" or nearly, "18 million households," didn't have enough to eat in 2012 and the hunger problem has gotten worse since then.
In a nation where so many are going hungry, it is ironic for so many others the poor food choices they make each day are threatening their lives. Obesity in the United States has progressed to epidemic proportions. In 2012 the CDC estimated over 35% of American adults & 17% of children were obese and the number is rising.
Obesity does not discriminate. Obesity is rampant among both younger and older Americans. For younger Americans being overweight means they may not live to see their old age because of the onset of many weight related diseases. For older Americans being overweight means they may not live through a healthy later years of their lives.
There are a number of reasons for the rise in the obesity rate but one of the main reasons is food, lots of food. Not only that but lots of the wrong kinds of food, and lots of processed and high calories snack foods.
First, many Americans, eat too much food. Americans love to eat, eat and eat.The popularity of smorgasbord type restaurants attest to this very fact. Each day Americans consume large portions of foods which are high in fats and calories. One trip to a sit down restaurant may mean consuming more calories in one meal then a person needs in a whole day.
Second, the types of food Americans eat has gone from organic to frozen and processed. The stores are full of prepackaged processed foods which with the touch of a button on the microwave or oven can be prepared and eaten in minutes. The problem with many of these foods is not only are they high in calories and low in nutrients, they are high in a lot of additives and preservatives which are not good for the body. These foods lead to extra pounds being packed on. Add into this the amount of snack food Americans consume and it spells to many calories.
Third, Americans have developed a love for fast food. Drive down any highway, in any metropolitan area and count the number of fast food restaurants which line both sides of the street. Inside each of these restaurants, each year, is served millions if not billions of high calorie, super sized meals which Americans are consuming at an alarming rate.
In America the love of these wrong kind of foods threatens many lives. The cure for the epidemic of obesity has been around for years, it consists of two major components, eat less, eat right and exercise. Getting into shape is a tough mountain to climb but for both the young and old their is healthier future free of the diseases, like diabetes and heart disease.
The news is not new but here it comes again to lose weight, Americans need to switch their high calorie diets and to include more of the good foods, whole grains, vegetables and fruits. Add in some exercisse and it is the start of a healthier lifestyle.
Also for a little added incentive to losing weight, take some of the money saved from not eating out or not buying all the processed food and give it to a food bank where they can use it to feed those who don't have enough food.
Mature living is all about lifestyle choices, which includes making the right choices when it comes to eating.

Isabelle Romée, also known as Isabelle de Vouthon and Isabelle d'Arc and Ysabeau Romee, was the mother of Jeanne. She moved to Orléans in 1440 after and received a pension from the city. She petitioned Pope Nicholas V to reopen the court case that had convicted Jeanne of heresy, and then, in her seventies, addressed the assembly delegation from the Holy See in Paris. The appeals court overturned the conviction of Jeanne on 7 July 1456. Isabelle gave her daughter a religious, Catholic upbringing and taught her the craft of spinning wool. Isabelle spent the rest of her life restoring her daughter's name.
Mother of the Maid, nee Romée, and called Zabilet in her patois, was born at Vouthon, near Domrémy. We learn from the testimony of Brother Pasquerel at the Rehabilitation proceedings that she returned from the great pilgrimage to Puy en Velay at the time when Jeanne was being conducted to the King, while the expedition to Orléans was being prepared. She was ennobled in the month of December, 1429.
A fter the death of her husband Isabelle left Domrémy, and eventually settled at Orléans, where one finds her established in 1440. We may recall that Jeanne had desired to establish herself in Orléans, for before undertaking the expedition to Reims she had taken a long lese on a house in rue des Petits Souliers, in Saint Maclou parish, near the apse of Saint Catherine's church.
"Very ill" upon her arrival, Isabelle, who was then about sixty years old, was cared for at the expense of the city of Orléans, and taken care of by the chambermaid of Messire Bertrand, physician. She lived in the house of Henrier Anquetil and the municipality granted her 48 sous parisis a month "to aid her in living and acquiring her necessities in the said city."
She acted as plaintiff at the time of the Rehabilitation, and lived in the house which her son Pierre occupied in rue des Africains. She was then said to be "decrepit through age," and she asked to be allowed not to attend all the hearings. She appeared before the Archbishop of Reims, not as witness, but always as plaintiff. She died on November 28, 1458, after having testified. In 1428 she founded at Domrémy an obit of two gros barrois for anniversary masses, as did Jacques d'Arc.
Isabelle was granted a pension by the city of Orleans, and upon this she lived out her days, which were many. Twenty-four years after her illustrious child's death she traveled all the way to Paris in the winter-time and was present at the opening of the discussion in the Cathedral of Notre Dame which was the first step in the Rehabilitation. Paris was crowded with people, from all about France, who came to get sight of the venerable dame, and it was a touching spectacle when she moved through these reverent wet-eyed multitudes on her way to the grand honors awaiting her at the cathedral. With her were Jean and Pierre, no longer the light-hearted youths who marched with us from Vaucouleurs, but war-torn veterans with hair beginning to show frost.
"I had a daughter born in lawful wedlock who grew up amid the fields and pastures. I had her baptized and confirmed and brought her up in the fear of God. I taught her respect for the traditions of the Church as much as I was able to do given her age and simplicity of her condition. I succeeded so well that she spent much of her time in church and after having gone to confession she received the sacrament of the Eucharist every month. Because the people suffered so much, she had a great compassion for them in her heart and despite her youth she would fast and pray for them with great devotion and fervor. She never thought, spoke or did anything against the faith. Certain enemies had her arraigned in a religious trial. Despite her disclaimers and appeals, both tacit and expressed, and without any help given to her defense, she was put through a perfidious, violent, iniquitous and sinful trial. The judges condemned her falsely, damnably and criminally, and put her to death in a cruel manner by fire.
For the damnation of their souls and in notorious, infamous and irreparable loss to me, Isabelle, and mine...
I demand that her name be restored."
Overcome with grief, she had to be escorted to the sacristy of the cathedral and thus began Jeanne's Trial of Nullification.
The Case was solemnly opened on November 7th, 1455, in the Church of Notre Dame at Paris.
Pierre d'Arc went to seek his sister "in France," fought along with her at Orléans, lived in the same house with her in that city, accompanied her to Reims, and was ennobled with the rest of the family. He was captured with Jeanne at Compiègne, but was eventually released. Pierre retired to the city of Orléans where he received many gifts from the King, the city of Orléans, and a pension from Duke Charles, among them the Ile aux Boeufs in 1443. The descendants of, Pierre, had in their possession three of Jeanne's letters and a sword that she had worn. The letters were saved but the sword was lost during the chaos of the revolutionary period.
Jean d'Arc, who fled with his sister to Neufchâteau, accompanied her to France, and was lodged at the house of Jacques Boucher at Orléans. He was ennobled in December, 1429. When provost of Vaucouleurs he worked for the rehabilitation of his sister, appeared at Rouen and Paris, and formed a commission to get evidence from their native district and produce witnesses. He was Bailly of Vermandois and captain of Chartres and was discharged from the provostship of Vaucouleurs in 1468.
There is very little known about Jacquemin, than he was born 1402 in Vaudeville, Le Haut and died in 1450. He was married Catherine Corviset who was born 1405 and died in 1430. They were married at Doremy La Pucelle.
There is also very little known about Catherine, than she married, Colin, the son of Greux's mayor, and died young in childbirth near the end of 1429.

Three incidents involving "Funny Money" are being investigated in the city according to Helena-West Helena Police reports. Two of the incidents involve counterfeit $20 bills and the third, a $50 bill. All three reports occurred from Aug. 18 through Aug. 20.
Officer Tekiyah Walker responded to the first call at Hays Grocery Store on Sebastian. The person with the reported counterfeit bill was still in the store at the time Walker arrived according to her narrative. Store Manager John Smith reported that one of his cashiers caught the bill.
The man who attempted to pass the bill explained that he had received it from another man who wanted change for the $50 bill. The man told the officer in the report that the person had pulled the same stunt on him about a year ago involving a $100 bill.
According to the report, the bill was confiscated as evidence.
That same day, Cpl. Phillip Keys reported that he responded to a call involving a bogus $20 bill at Sonic Drive In. In Keys' report, Manager Patrick Roberson told the officer that a female attempted to pay for her food with a fake bill. One of the servers spotted the bill was a phony. She went to get change and turned the bill over to Roberson, who in turn immediately called police.
The driver left the scene before police arrived according to the report. She was described as being light skinned with an earring above her left eye.
On Aug. 20, Cpl. Carson McGee was stopped by a McDonald's employee regarding a counterfeit $20 bill. McGee's report stated that the night manager reported that an unknown person came through the drive-in window around 10:15 p.m. and paid for their purchase with what turned out to be a counterfeit $20 bill.

Before we start in on this much-anticipated workshop (most highly-voted in our previous poll), I'm going to put a quick word out about our current status: tromacom, Shuriken95, and I have been running this on our own for the past few months, (with BeccaJS having had her baby ) and we'd love some workshop host volunteers! So if anyone has an idea for a workshop, send it in a note, and we'll try to get you all set up to host.
Okay, so, that PSA outta the way...I'd like to talk to you about:
Specifically, romantic love. It can be ooey-and-gooey, sweet and innocent, lustful, dangerous, sexy, or even traumatic. It's one of the most universal emotional experiences people have, and it's so powerful people have been compelled to write about it for centuries. But after centuries of being written about, it can be easy to fall into cliches.
People write in cliches because they make sense. They fit! And they were actually creative plotlines or metaphors when they were first thought of. Like the rose, for instance.
"my love is like a rose;
my sweat its scent
it draws you in, quivering butterfly girl,
but get too close
and you'll be pricked by my thorns
get even closer
and you
can unfold
the layers of my petals
drink my vermillion beauty
with your thistle-pricked fingertips."
It's got all the right elements--danger, lust, sweetness, beauty. But that poem sucks, partly because I wrote it in five minutes. But mainly because the metaphor is a cliche! My love is a rose? It's been done to freakin' death.
As a poet, the challenge in de-clicheing a love poem is talking about love in a way that has never been talked about before, but still rings true. Sometimes it can be helpful to pick an element of love you want to talk about--lust, longing, beauty, etc--and think of an object, or action, that can help you talk about it in a new way.
You can also do it the other way around. So, for part one of the Workshop, the challenge for poets is this (the challenge for story-writers comes soon): Pick one of these objects or actions and use it in a poem as a metaphor for love. You can either state its outright (aka, "my love is...; my love does...;") or describe the object or action in a way that the reader can infer you're talking about a relationship.
-- a rock
-- two lego pieces
-- a dandelion
-- a glass eye
-- polishing a shoe
-- combing hair
-- a bowl of soup
-- a velociraptor
-- a top hat
-- a bass drop
-- naked knees
Keep in mind, it doesn't have to be a perfect romantic relationship. You can be describing a flawed relationship. In fact, an element of romance you could be talking about is frustration, or accepting less than you deserve. You could talk about how the relief of having a happy ending can be coupled with the fear of having it fade away. Let these emotions come out in your poem.
Remember, in a poem, "show, don't tell." Describe what's going on, not just visually, but aurally, tactilely, or even olfactorily!
Ask yourself questions like, "what are the naked knees doing? How are they doing it? (description!) Why are they doing it?" and, most importantly, "what is this showing about my love, or my relationship?"
A note: it's okay if, in the course of writing the poem, what you're trying to say about love or romance changes. In fact, it's more than okay--it's excellent! It means you're letting the poem move through you.
Another note: please try to pick just one metaphor on the list, but you can incorporate other metaphors if you want to. Just, you know, don't be like..."Like dandelion seeds / we blow aimlessly / but we're also totally like a rose!" Just, yeah, don't do that.
I dunno what the word for that is...prosests?
Okay, your challenge is going to be a bit tougher. First, I want you to write a romantic scene. It can be a scene of someone confessing their love, someone getting married or rejected, a first kiss, or old-timers looking back on their life. Just the one scene, though, no more than 1000 words. Maybe 1200 if you absolutely need it.
At the same time, I want to to write a true, non-fiction, short creative essay or story about a time when you were in love. Even if the person didn't like you back, or was a total douche. Or, hey, maybe it was awesome and you got married and you're still married! Write about that too! In this essay, don't worry about being formal, just pick a time and write all the details you can remember. About the other person, about you, about how you felt, about how your parents felt if that's relevant. Everything, just let it pour out, raw.
I emphasized short because I know if I just give you permission to rant, some people will go on forever. So, again, 1000 words max. And, hey, if you can write it all out in 200, awesome. Remember, we don't need your whole life's story; just one moment in time when you were in love, or in a romantic relationship.
Some of you may be able to guess where this is going, but I kinda want to keep part two secret until the next few weeks, so it doesn't influence your writing.
Has the same deadlines.
Get your stuff in the new folder by November 26th!
The following week will be the second part of both challenges.
It can only help you. Read some of these great love stories and poems from around the web:
Gryffen's Lieblings is not strictly a romantic love poem, but it's a poem about two people who try to connect and fail, in a way that so often happens with romantic attempts.
LieblingsYou asked me once,
what was my favorite color.I told you it was the ocean on an early summer afternoon with white clouds around the sky.
(it's definitely sunlight shining on crashing water with dolphins in the surf.)You asked me once,
what was my favorite smell.I told you it was twilight October when the sun turns trees to fire and witches come out to play.
(or maybe it's a spring morning in the grass and trees when the sun shines after rain.)You asked me once,
what was my favorite song.I told you it was the flash of white on black when a mockingbird takes wing.
(or maybe it's just the first days of spring when the morning's just begun.)You asked me once,
what was my favorite flavor.I told you it was standing on the front porch during the first thunderstorm of summer.
(it's the heat and ozone that fill the air and the water that soaks your hair.)You asked me once,
what was my favorite texture.I told you it was the crystals in the window beneath the snow sky
A Letter To My Wife is another story about a romantic relationship that maybe could be worked out better.
RalfMaximus's story Visitation remains one of my favorite love stories on this site, and it earned a well-deserved DD.
MariaTala's Math and Poetry uses Math as a metaphor for love and beauty without ever saying it explicitly.
Math and PoetryShe used to tell me
of math and poetry
by the length of her arm
and rhythm of her heart
condensing verse and fraction
with form following the function
of communist theories
and greek philosophies.
she beat out aesthetics
with a perfect symmetry.
because no one understands
the relationship between
seafoam and shoreline
the way she does
[swimming in saltwater sorrows]
reimagining time in an hourglass,
she shot up infinities with a glance
and left me moondrunk in the night.
she emits sparks throughout my system
breaking and entering--
my kingdom under siege.
her name was an amalgam of numbers
1.61803399 . . . .
and I loved her by design.
And, because I admit I'm a little obsessed with myself, (sorry, it's a problem ) here's a poem I published in Pif magazine where the metaphor for love is madness (and a few other things). www.pifmagazine.com/2012/08/hi…
I am going to say, I'm mostly posting it because I feel more comfortable publicly critiquing my own work and using it as an example than I do other people's. I also know my own personal creative process that led to this poem, something I can't say for other people's work, so I'm willing to go into depth about that more during Critique Week.
The folder is open! writers-workshop.deviantart.co…

Welfare Reform:
Former TANF Recipients with Impairments Less Likely to Be Employed and More Likely to Receive Federal Supports
GAO-03-210: Published: Dec 6, 2002. Publicly Released: Dec 6, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7202
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Debates surrounding the reauthorization of welfare reform legislation have involved some discussion regarding outcomes for TANF recipients with physical or mental impairments. To inform this discussion, GAO was asked to report on (1) whether recipients with impairments were as likely to exit TANF as their counterparts without impairments and (2) the sources of income reported by leavers with and without impairments. To obtain this information, GAO analyzed self- reported data for the most recent years available from the Census Bureau's Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)--a national survey of households that includes questions about TANF status and functional impairments.
Recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) who had impairments were found to be half as likely to exit TANF as recipients without impairments, and recipients caring for children with impairments were found to be less than half as likely to exit TANF as recipients not caring for children with impairments, after controlling for demographic differences such as age, race, and marital status. Although impairments affect exits, other factors, including family support and personal motivation, as well as local TANF policies, may also affect whether recipients exit TANF. After leaving TANF, people with impairments were one-third as likely as people without impairments to be employed, according to a statistical model that controlled for demographic differences, and they were more likely to receive federal supports. Forty percent of leavers with impairments reported receiving cash assistance from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a federal program designed to assist low-income individuals who are aged, blind, or disabled. Leavers with impairments were also more likely to receive non cash support in the form of Food Stamps and Medicaid than their counterparts without impairments. These findings underscore the challenge states face in ensuring that recipients with impairments and those caring for children with impairments receive the supports they need to meet the work-focused goals and requirements of TANF.
