For the admissions office, it's called "hedge your bets."
But for the applicant who has waited six months or more for a decision, the waitlist is likely to be a one-way ticket to nowhere.
And for an increasing number of students victimized by an enrollment management system designed to attract thousands of applications no one knows what to do with, all we can say is, "Welcome to admissions purgatory."
It's particularly frustrating for the subset of applicants who submitted early—Early Action, Restricted Early Action, Early Decision I or even Early Decision II—only to be shunted off to the waitlist.
You really have to want it to go through all that.
But hope springs eternal, and that's why there are lotteries and waitlists.
For the most part, colleges are entirely unapologetic about using the dreams of waitlisted students to further enrollment goals focused on filling freshman classes with the best and brightest high school students.
After all, the waitlist is simply a tool used to shape a class profile that will be balanced between males and females, is geographically and racially diverse, meets legislated residency requirements, fills the needs of obscure departments or sports teams, and still covers some part of the college operating budget.
Waitlists aren't usually prioritized or predictable.
And quite often, schools advertising "needs blind" admissions quietly convert to "needs sensitive" when it comes to plucking a few lucky students from the list. Consequently, most bets are off for financial aid if you come through the waitlist.
In other words, there's no ranking, no money, and really not much hope.
And sometimes, the list is hardly more than a thinly disguised PR scam designed to keep agitated parents, alums, and other interested parties at arm's length.
Waitlisted is an uncomfortable place to be. If you've been accepted or rejected, at least your status is clear. But waitlisted is fuzzy.
Face it: very few waitlisted students are eventually invited to the dance.
Here are some Common Data Set (CDS) statistics (Question C2) published by local colleges and universities for 2013-14:
University of Virginia
Waitlisted: 4,172 (2,606 accepted a position on the waitlist)
Admitted: 185 (287 the previous year)
Christopher Newport University
Waitlisted: 1639 (524 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 137 (7 the previous year)
College of William & Mary
Waitlisted: 3196 (1474 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 96 (147 the previous year)
George Mason University
Waitlisted: 2228 (929 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 252 (158 the previous year)
University of Mary Washington
Waitlisted: 225 (81 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 55 (73 the previous year)
Virginia Commonwealth University
Waitlisted: 607
Admitted: 1 (0 the previous year)
University of Richmond
Waitlisted: 4129 (1641 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 95 (13 the previous year)
Virginia Tech (2012-13 data)
Waitlisted: 2217 (1367 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 110 (241 the previous year)
Washington & Lee University
Waitlisted: 2261 (705 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 96 (89 the previous year)
American University (2012-13 data)
Waitlisted: 1379 (92 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 0
George Washington University (2012-13 data)
Waitlisted: 2865 (722 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 26 (112 the previous year)
Johns Hopkins University (2012-13 data)
Waitlisted: 2730 (2442 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 1 (19 the previous year)
Goucher College
Waitlisted: 160 (38 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 2 (20 the previous year)
Loyola University of Maryland
Waitlisted: 2504 (560 accepted waitlist)
Admitted: 47 (177 last year)
Numbers vary by year depending on how accurately the admissions office pegged its "yield" or how desperate the need to control the composition of the freshman class. For colleges with unfilled seats after May 1st, the pool of waitlisted students is something like a candy jar from which they can pick and choose depending on needs and wants.
For most students, being waitlisted is more frustrating than simply being rejected.
"There's no way around it," commented Jeannine Lalonde, UVa senior assistant dean of admission. "This is probably the toughest decision to get from a school."
A candidate who is denied admission to his or her first choice school is free to accept other offers. S/he can move on with his or her life. But a waitlisted candidate who really wants to attend a particular school is stuck in limbo.
Sure there are steps you can take to try to get off the list—write a letter, get another recommendation, meet with an admissions rep—but there is an emotional cost which must be factored in.
Is it worth it?
Sometimes, but not usually.
This is the first in a series of articles on waitlists.

Abel Ferrara's 'Pasolini' makes its international debut on Sept 4 at the Venice Film Festival that runs from Aug 27 to Sept 6 . It is part of Venezia 71, the official competition. The US filmmaker of Italian descent was recently misquoted as claiming he knew who murdered the late filmmaker author and poet Pier Paolo Pasolini in a Roman suburb in 1975. Willem Dafoe plays Pasolini and a sneak preview of the film was screened at the Cannes Market in May. Reliable sources claim that it is a strong contender for the Golden Lion of the Venice Festival. Reviews on the film are mixed, some claiming it is Ferrara's best to date, others at odds with the US filmmaker's fragmented story telling.
The brutal murder of Pasolini has long been a source of tension since it is unclear exactly who was behind this execution style attack on one of Italy's most creative filmmakers. Ferrara's film devotes itself to this haunting enigma. Pasolini was anti-fascist, anti-communist, anti- religious and an outspoken artist. His openly gay lifestyle and his viewpoints published on the front page of the daily Italian newspapers made him a formidable figure in Italian culture. One theory of why he was killed was based on how his outspokenness angered Italian fascists. The other was in regards to his refusal to comply with extortionists who withheld the final rolls of his final film "Salo" (Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma, Italy 1975) an allegory about the final days of Italian fascists. Both theories are inextricably related, but were thrown out due to lack of evidence.
Pasolini was in concert with extremely talented people and those who follow his work, his actors, writers who translated his poetry, biographers, or composers of music to his creations were in San Francisco last September to honor his films at the Italian Cultural Institute in North Beach.
Ninetto Davoli was Pasolini's favorite actor and closest friend, and the last one to see him before he died in 1975 (see photo display). He is featured in Ferrara's new film. Still a stunning looking man, Davoli's spirit, sense of humor, warmth and joy of life is contagious and he lights up the room whenever he speaks. It is no wonder that the late filmmaker and poet liked to be in his company. Davoli shared with the San Francisco audience that his work in "Canterbury Tales" (1972) where he plays a happy go lucky unemployed comic was praised by Charlie Chaplin, whose daughter Josephine was in this film. He said it was an honor he still remembers today. Davoli explained that he had no interest in acting but hung around one of Pasolini's films on location and their friendship began. His first non-speaking role was in "The Gospel According to St Matthew"(1964). He was cast opposite the famous Italian comedian Totò in "Hawks and Sparrow" (1966) at the age of 18 and later was a lead actor in Pasolini's "Trilogy of Life". Today Davoli works primarily in Italian television.
Also in San Francisco last September was Barth David Schwartz (interview for Movie Magazine International) who wrote a brilliant and definitive biography of Pasolini – "Pasolini Requiem" in the 90s. He lived in Italy during the time the book was written and traveled to Stockholm which Pasolini visited a few days before his death in 1975. At the time there was discussion about Pasolini as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in literature.
Schwartz's treatment of Pasolini's life is impeccable. While in San Francisco he attacked the Newsweek headline in 1975 "Life Imitating Art" announcing the death of Pasolini and the tragic circumstances leading to his murder. Pino Pelosi was convicted of the brutal attack ( the case was reopened in 2005 after Pelosi claimed his confession was coerced under threat of violence to his family). His lawyer argued that the imagery in Pasolini's last film "Salò" (1975), an allegory on Nazism and Fascism in Italy from 1944-45, proved that he was violent and had instigated his own attack. Schwartz speaks about the trial in this interview. Quite the contrary, Schwartz said that he was full of life and already has several projects in the wings including a film on one of the most complex writers of the gospel of Saint Paul where Ninetto Davoli would play the lead (scenes from this will be screened in Ferrara's film). Ninetto also exuberantly spoke of Pasolini's zest and vitality and added that those who didn't know him shouldn't share their theories of what his life was about. Davoli's appearance in Abel Ferrara's 'Pasolini' would appear to validate its production.
Two local Pasolini experts were also guests at the Pasolini event. Jack Hirschman, a San Francisco poet and social activist, compiled on anthology of Pasolini's literary work, "In Danger" including the last interview of Pasolini before he died. Beverly Allen, guest lecturer in Comparative Literature at Stanford, is the author of "Pier Paolo Pasolini: The Politics of Heresy".
Pasolini's extraordinary films include "Medea" with Maria Callas, "Teorema" with Terence Stamp, the "Trilogy of Life" –"Canterbury Tales", "Decameron", and "Arabian Nights" with Ninetto Davoli, "Mama Roma" with Anna Magnani, "Salò", "Accatone", "Hawks and Sparrows" , "Notes for an African Orestes", and "Oedipus Rex" . There is probably no other filmmaker that has created such visually stunning and poetic magic on the screen than Pier Paolo Pasolini. Those who have studied his work and new converts to Pasolini's magnificent films are inspired by the avenues in which he chose to depict his subjects in film.
Pasolini wrote scathing reports in Italian newspapers about what he considered the new fascism of Italy: television, with its ability to create one middle class that shared the same values, a danger, he argued considering how easy it was to manipulate the masses for political gain. Pasolini also lamented the death of local dialects in Italy because of television. Pasolini often wrote in Friulian, a dialect in the area where his mother was born in Northern Italy.
The Pier Paolo Pasolini Museum in Casarsa della Delizia, Italy is located in the Pasolini home, "Casa Colussi" in Casarsa. It has been made into a small museum called the Center for Pasolinian Studies. The public funeral for Pasolini was held in Rome, but there is a smaller chapel where a ceremony was held in Casarsa - Santa Croce - with frescos depicting the Holy Cross by the Italian painter Pomponio Almateo (1505-1588). Pasolini is buried not far from the family home, next to his mother.

The complaints are being heard. The I told you so's are being said. Yes, two states Colorado and Washington have allowed their citizens the privilege to smoke marijuana but that doesn't give you the right to blow smoke back into their faces. There are still people who don't like the idea of legalized marijuana. So rather than just appreciating being able to enjoy that joint, people are going out and acting like little children who just received a new toy.
Those that are saying we told you so are speaking out and they are being heard. This is not good. All those who have been smoking marijuana in the shadows could very well lose the new-found privilege, that's right privilege, of doing it legally.
Just as with the repeal of prohibition, when alcohol was legalized back in the 30's, there is that madness that comes with change. We must still be responsible. When driving a car, when operating heavy machinery, there is still a safety issue. When you have parties with children around or merely around people who don't smoke, there is still that consideration that must be maintained.
Think about it, the New York Times one of the oldest papers in the country has come out for national legalization. The President and Congress have lightened up about national legalization. We are on the verge of accomplishing what every person who has smoked or still does smoked has desired, the complete legalization of marijuana.
In Florida some 88% of the state want Amendment 2 to be passed. Amendment 2 deals with medical marijuana containing THC which if implemented responsibly could be our pathway toward complete legalization. Unfortunately the states that are considered the testing grounds are acting irresponsibly. So I ask those of you who have those rights, please do not blow it for the rest of the country.
There is much riding on all this and all your fellow countrymen are asking you to smoke responsibly and don't Bogart the joint. Thanks to John Morgan it will become a reality in Florida. For information on the status of the legalization of medical marijuana in the State of Florida please go to forthepeople.com

Computer Security: What Your Constituents Need to Know
October 22, 2004
Overview | Video | Panelist Biographies | Toolkit | Media Advisory
On October 22, 2004, as part of Cyber Security Month, the Internet Caucus Advisory Committee, in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission and the National Cyber Security Alliance, hosted a Constituent Education Workshop, "Computer Security: What Your Constituents Need to Know." An expert panel addressed Congressional staffers, stressing the importance of constituent education in the fight against spammers, phishers, and other online criminals.
FTC Commissioner Orson Swindle opened the proceedings by outlining the growth of online threats, noting that many of these scourges seek to undermine our entire communications infrastructure. Increasingly, cyber attacks target individuals and small businesses, and marshal these computers into powerful "zombie" networks that can be controlled remotely to spam and harass thousands of others. He challenged Congressional offices to make information security a priority, given that more and more constituents are making online activities a part of their daily lives.
While they did acknowledge the gravity of today's online threats, the panelists noted that the majority of attacks could be prevented if household computers simply maintained up-to-date security software. Susan Koehler of Microsoft said that the anti-virus protection on a new computer becomes out-of-date out after a short period, but some consumers are not aware that they are at risk. Wendy Tazelaar of Wells Fargo Online explained that, "There is confusion about what is really risky behavior on the Internet." Many Wells Fargo users surveyed thought that "providing confidential information ... in an email was less risky than paying bills online."
Panelist Michael Aisenberg also noted that often, the weakest link in the security chain is the "18 inches between the screen and the back of the chair," but acknowledged that nothing less than a concerted effort by all parties -- Congressional offices, users, hardware companies, software companies, and law enforcement -- would solve the problem.
Tim Lordan of the Internet Caucus Advisory Committee moderated this event, featuring an expert panel, which included:
- Commissioner Orson Swindle - Federal Trade Commission
- Michael Aisenberg - VeriSign, Inc.
- Susan Koehler - Microsoft Corporation
- Martha Lockwood - National Cyber Security Alliance
- Wendy Tazelaar - Wells Fargo Online
This event was hosted in conjunction with the Internet Caucus and its co-chairs - Senators Burns and Leahy and Congressmen Goodlatte and Boucher.

When it comes to substance abuse and addiction, I try to put things into perspective for people, as the details of how the brain works can get a bit cumbersome at times. Anyone who follows the NFL knows that Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has immense talent, simply based on the numbers he was able to put up this past year without playing the full year due to a suspension for testing positive for codeine. Gordon also tested positive for marijuana 3 times while in college, so there is a pattern here. Many responses focus on his decision-making, which is obviously poor, and that it is up to him to make better choices. That is true, however when it comes to addiction things are not that simple.
Our brains naturally give us pleasure responses and emotional regulation. There are ways that we can enhance these things naturally, like exercise and experiencing an enjoyable event. Many times when learn how to regulate and deal with situations from watching our families. When that is done in a healthy way, we learn how to derive pleasure from daily activities, along with learning coping skills. This also assumes that conflicts, traumas and other negative events are at a minimal, or processed appropriately. That this occurs is a pretty big assumption (or hope). There is also a genetic factor when it comes to any disease, and that applies to addiction as well. Somebody does not have to have the genetic component, or necessarily need to have negative or traumatic events to trigger addiction, but it does increase the possibility dramatically.
I personally do not have knowledge of Josh Gordon's history for an addictions assessment. What I do know is that he is currently making choices that do not make sense to people that are not familiar with addiction. One of the criteria for dependence and addiction is loss of job, family, relationships and using despite these threats or occurrences. Gordon is making a choice to use, but it isn't an even choice. A sober person that is functioning rationally can decide to go right or left at any given time, and there really isn't a reward for that unless it is a quicker way to their destination. This is not the same process for an addict, or your average person that wants to eat ice cream at night. You know you shouldn't, but you do. That is not about willpower, it is mainly a reaction to a brain function that includes impulsivity and lack of reflection to consequences. Add in one's mood at the time, if there is ice cream or a drug/alcohol in the house, if there is an event or others doing it as well, and you are on your way to changing brain chemistry. If someone is willing to jeopardize their career, something that I believe he worked for, a couple weeks prior to the chance of getting that career back, then the decision-making process has been greatly compromised. The DWI gives me the information along with past instances of this occurring, despite the consequences increasing.
There is accountability in this scenario, despite catcalls that this addiction thing is simply a cop-out. Self-awareness and taking steps to change with the help of others. The brain can change, your environment can change, and the choices can change. However, the key is asking for that help and taking the action. That is a difficult proposition for someone who is active in their addiction, as they don't see things the same way based on years of being enabled and surrounded by those that support the distorted thinking. Add in a culture that is promoting alcohol and now marijuana, then wondering why you make a poor decision, and you have a great mixture for a situation like this.
Josh Gordon has an opportunity to turn his life around, and hopefully get the resources to have that happen. His part is utilizing those resources to change and take some action. He probably doesn't want to make many of those changes, and that ultimately is the challenge. An addict's brain is on overdrive when it comes to pleasure, pain and emotion based on drug use, and nothing will match that for a while. That is why the choice is rigged. The fear can be overwhelming, and very few people understand, let alone message boards questioning why and calling him names. I imagine it would feel like taking the field 2 players vs 11 and expecting to compete. That is essentially the challenge that he, and every addict faces.

When asked by publishers if she'd be interested in writing a memoir about her years as a member and chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Mary Frances Berry declined. "People are always writing memoirs," she says, "and sometimes I think it's pretentious. But I said I'd love to write a history of the commission and the role it played in the Civil Rights Movement, which I think has not been emphasized."
Berry's new book, And Justice for All: The United States Commission on Civil Rights and the Continuing Struggle for Freedom in America, is unmistakably not a memoir. Beginning with the commission's establishment under the Civil Rights Act of 1957, Berry offers a meticulously cited account of five decades in the life of this independent federal agency charged with investigating, reporting on and making recommendations concerning civil rights issues in America.
While it would go on to play a key role in framing landmark legislation—including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990—Berry found that the commission was not originally expected to press for change. Rather, she explains, President Eisenhower conceived of it as a sort of safety valve to alleviate building pressures associated with the early Civil Rights Movement.
"There were ordinary people who had grievances, who had tried going to every government agency, asking everybody to help them, and nobody would listen. The commission would listen." - Mary Frances Berry
"It was after Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott," says Berry. "The United States was being criticized by allies in Europe, and by developing nations that were becoming independent, for not giving African Americans first-class citizenship. Eisenhower thought that the commissioners would be good mainstream citizens with reputations that people would respect; but they were, as he put it, 'moderate men' who weren't likely to come up with anything that he would find unpleasant."
To the dismay of some, the Commission on Civil Rights did not shirk its mandate. "It went ahead and did some work," says Berry, "because the first time the commissioners—many of them from the North—went to Alabama and held a hearing, they were shocked about what they saw."
According to Berry, what made the commission so uniquely effective, from its inception up until the Reagan administration, was its willingness to perform what she calls its listening function. "There were ordinary people who had grievances, who had tried going to every government agency, asking everybody to help them, and nobody would listen," Berry explains. "The commission would listen."
Berry herself was appointed to the commission by President Carter in 1980. Her nearly 24-year tenure in that role, serving as chair from 1993 to 2004, was not without its challenges. "When Reagan fired commissioners," says Berry, "I ended up, with a colleague of mine, suing him, and we were reinstated. But after that the commission was broken in terms of its function. When I was chair I tried to do some good work, and we did; but it was always a struggle."
Berry argues that the current rules governing commission appointments present serious problems. "I think it's been a disaster," she says. "When Reagan fired commissioners, and Congress passed a compromise, they changed it into a sort of hybrid, jury-rigged structure—with half the people appointed by Congress with no presidential involvement and half by the president with no Senate confirmation."
Berry also believes that since the Reagan administration, the Republican Party has seen the commission as a way to try to subvert civil rights policy and the courts' interpretations of civil rights legislation. "You have a structure that tries to go in two directions at the same time," she explains. "Half the people will be trying to do what the commission has always done, and the other half will be trying to stop them."
Berry hopes, and has reason to believe, that the Obama administration will take steps to remedy these structural concerns, while also perhaps expanding the scope of the commission's mandate to include sexual orientation and international human rights issues. "I have heard that people on the transition team are in favor of my proposal for a new Commission on Human and Civil Rights," she reports. "So I think that the chances are good that they will in fact do something about the commission."
When asked if she has any plans to get involved in federal politics again, Berry says that she's content to watch her former students take on roles in the Obama administration, pointing out, "I have plenty of opportunities to weigh in when I need to."

Blood is collected under the direction of medical director Richard Halbert., MD.
We adhere to strict regulations and guidelines set by the Food and Drug Administration, the American Association of Blood Banks and the College of American Pathologists.

Toss cauliflower florets and whole garlic cloves with olive oil, then roast and puree. It's the base for a creamy, thick and comforting roasted cauliflower garlic soup. If you are a garlic lover, the smell of the roasting garlic cloves just might make you crazy. It's heavenly.
Roasting Vegetables – Sweet Flavors
Roasting vegetables brings out their sweet qualities and caramelizes their flavors. I am always looking for ways to get more vegetables into our diet, especially non-starchy vegetables. Cauliflower is one of those terrific, non-starchy vegetables I've rediscovered from when I was a kid. For this new recipe, I've pureed it along with leeks, carrots, celery and herbs for a great soup.
Healthy Cruciferous Cauliflower
Cauliflower is a member of the cruciferous vegetable family which includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and bok choy. A healthy option to add to your diet, cauliflower is loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber and disease-fighting phytonutrients. And all cruciferous vegetables have been linked in many studies for reducing the risk of cancer.
Vegetable Prep
Trim any outer leaves then cut the core from a head of cauliflower. Break the head into small florets., trimming any extra stem. Scatter the cauliflower into a large baking dish and add whole, peeled garlic cloves. Toss with olive oil and roast until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife and edges are starting to brown.
While the vegetables are roasting, cook the aromatics (leek, carrot, celery, thyme) softly and gently in a pot to coax out their sweet flavors.
Finish the Soup
When vegetables are done roasting, add cauliflower and broth to the pot and simmer until flavors have blended and all vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Puree with coconut milk, in a food processor or Vitamix, season and serve.
This creamy soup gets it's texture from the pureed vegetables and from the coconut milk. If you have never tried coconut milk in a soup recipe like this, know that it does not taste like coconut at all. Leftovers reheat great the next day.
For garnish, I thin basil pesto down with a little coconut milk and swirl it into the soup, then drizzle with drops of golden olive oil. If you are vegan, make the pesto without Parmesan cheese. it will be more like the French version of pesto called pistou.
One more tidbit, we've discovered that this soup is terrific finished with Maldon Smoked Sea Salt. Maybe it's because we are crazy about smoky flavors, but it really takes it over the top.
Tips on Buying Cauliflower
The most common color is white, although you will see orange, green and even purple varieties. When buying cauliflower, choose head that are firm and white with no brown spots or areas. Florets should not be exasperated. Heads protected by a layer of green leaves are more protected. Cauliflower will last in the refrigerator about a week.

President Obama and Speaker of the House Boehner may be inching closer on a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, but an greement is no guarantee that all our long-term economic problems will be solved. We asked Maya MacGuineas to lend some insight into how we reached this precarious state and how it will impact each one of us.
As the president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget and the head of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, a non-partisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path, MacGuineas testifies to Congress regularly and is a frequent contributor to both broadcast and print news reports. [The Wall Street Journal once called her an "anti-deficit warrior.']
We spoke with her about what citizens can do to let lawmakers know their concerns. An edited version of the interview follows.
MORE: We keep hearing "fiscal cliff," but what, exactly, does that mean?
Maya MacGuineas: The irony of the fiscal cliff is that, for the most part, it was actually created by policymakers to force them to do what they don't want to do. At end of 2012, all of the 2001, 2003, 2010 tax cuts will expire at the same time something called a sequester hits, which means across-the-board spending cuts from most parts of the budget, and a number of other policies will expire all at once.
What this means is that over the next 10 years, we'll have removed about $7 trillion from the economy, or that we'll have so much deficit reduction—and I say this as someone who believes that we desperately need deficit reduction—that it would throw the economy back into a recession.
MORE: Why wasn't this dealt with sooner?
MM: The sequester was the result of the fact that the super committee, a group that was supposed to come up with a bigger budget deal a year ago, failed to get its work done. And so policymakers put the sequester in so that there'd be automatic budgetary savings. Right now, policymakers are trying to figure out how you can change these policies to avoid the fiscal cliff; but you also don't want to punt, and just wave all the policies and extend the tax cuts, which would add tremendously to our already much too high debt. So they're struggling to replace the fiscal cliff with some kind of sensible deficit reduction deal.
That's what they should do, but obviously, it's hard. It's filled with all the kinds of policies that politicians don't like to talk about: raising taxes and cutting spending. That's why we're here, hovering on the edge of the fiscal cliff
MORE: How did the Campaign to Fix the Debt come to be?
MM: We work with policymakers on both sides of the aisle, and they kept saying they weren't hearing enough from business leaders or constituents or civic leaders back at home about how important it was to address the deficit and debt. They weren't sure if people cared. From our work of talking with these constituencies, we know people really do care, and we wanted to create a different kind of campaign.
We wanted to create something that was going to focus on the fact that citizens are actually aware that we have to make these hard choices—because they understand it's critically important for the country. So, we put together an incredibly diverse coalition of over 300,000 citizens, we have operations in 17 different states and are growing, we have over 2,500 business leaders, well over 100 CEOS, many former members of Congress, civic leaders and youth all trying to build a campaign. We want to strengthen the economy and leave this country better off for the next generation. It's the opposite of most lobbying campaigns. It's really not about the normal special interests who come to Washington; it's about the national interest.
MORE: Why haven't the Republicans and Democrats been able to come up with a solution? Is it just politics?

"He has a lot of the characteristics of the great players, whether it's Chris McAlister, Derrick Straight, Roy Williams or Tedy Bruschi. He brings a lot of awareness to the field and he has great instincts and great ability. He is a true competitor and an elite player."
?- Arizona head coach Mike Stoops who has coached Jim Thorpe Award winners Derrick Straight (2003) and Roy Williams (2001)
"He approaches the game with the same desire to be great as some of the outstanding DBs that I've coached before. He wants to be great and he approaches his game very seriously. He works at, studies it and he practices with a game-like mentality "
?- Arizona defensive coordinator and DB coach Mark Stoops
"We put him one-on-one against the best receivers in the nation. Antoine's our guy that we put out there alone for the majority of the game. He gets the least amount of help in our defensive scheme and we challenge him against the best receivers. He enjoys that challenge, and it seems the better the opposition, the more he raises the level of his play."
?- Arizona head coach Mike Stoops
"We put a lot of pressure on Antoine. We roll a lot of our coverage to his side of the field and that means he is consistently matched up one-on-one with the best receivers in the country."
?- Arizona defensive coordinator and DB coach Mark Stoops
"Antoine came here well above his years, he's confident and poised out on the field. Having played with him his first two seasons at Arizona, you could tell that his maturity level was higher than most guys coming in. He plays the ball very well and he makes the big plays when they're needed. I've noticed that he's taken more of a leadership role this year, and he is fantastic example of a leader who leads not only through his actions and play, but vocally too. As he has matured, he has taken charge of the defense and he's the guy that everyone looks to now. Physically he's improved all around, which comes from his dedication to being the best."

'ONE: Two Hands, Many Guitars'
I set myself a challenge to create an album of music using only guitars - acoustic guitars, electric guitars, bass guitars and a crazy guitar-ukulele hybrid.
It gave me the chance to haul out many of the guitars in my collection, and see how they play together.
I experimented with using them melodically, percussively, texturally, sweetly and sometimes aggressively.
The result is an instrumental mix of pop, world, ambient and jazz.
Now on iTunes as a special "Mastered for iTunes" release.
Now available from CD Baby

Not the best
Reviewed: 04 January 2014 by kath90, a Bisexual Engaged Female
Came with 8 batteries. It takes 4 and they lasted about an hour for the full 8 batteries.
Just as I really started to enjoy it, it died. Quite disappointed as I just started to get moist. It does take me a while to reach climax so not recommended if you're the same, but otherwise the vibration is good but could have been stronger for me personally (first time using one).
- Pros
- The size.
- Cons
- Battery life.
- Bottom line
- It could have lasted longer not really for me. :(

Very disappointing
Reviewed: 08 January 2014 by Rydan, a Straight Going Steady Male
Agree with the person above, very disappointing.
Feels cheap and has hardly any power the vibrations are poor, could hardly feel anything.
The egg lasted about 10mins, the last 5 mins being a very very dull vibration. Would never have paid full price of £39.99. It wasn't even worth £12. Avoid!
- Pros
- Honestly, nothing.
- Cons
- Everything.
- Bottom line
- Very poor. Not worth your money.

Reviewed: 05 January 2014 by iceds, a Straight Married Male
Luckily we bought this item in the sale. Had I paid the £39.99 that is now being asked for this item I would of been more than a little peeved.
As stated in the previous review on this item, the egg eats the eight batteries provided. We didn't even get 30 minutes use.
The remote control feels cheap and does not have a positive feel when pressing the button. It failed to cycle accurately through its four settings (three vibration selections and off). The range of the remote was extremely poor and other remote controls in the household caused the egg to turn itself on.
All in all I would steer clear of this toy.
- Pros
- Good size for a first egg, nice feel, comfortable, sturdy recovery cord.
- Cons
- Poor range, poor battery life, poor functionality and poor vibration power.
- Bottom line
- An item to avoid.

Wear and tear on equipment. Tires that wear faster have to be replaced more often; if you're down to the rebar on the concrete floor, equipment will wear faster because it's running over reinforced steel.
Opportunity cost. How often do you replace the floor, and how much revenue do you lose during the time it takes to make the repair?
In an industry where even one day of downtime hurts the bottom line, faster tipping floor repairs can keep a solid-waste-handling facility in tip-top shape.

Test your Movie (Ctrl+Enter).
Floating Gallery Using Flash Cs4
Step 1: open a new flash file. Set the width to 600 pixels and the height to 540 pixels. For this pictorial we need 8 images. We have to resize them with 330*330 for the main image and 75*75 thumbnail images. Name the images image-0 to image-7 and thumb-0 to thumb-7 and then import them into the library (File-> import->import to library).
Step 2: By using oval tool (O) to creating a dark grey circle (#323232) circle, without an outline by using dimensions and positions below. I have reduced the magnification in Flash to 50%, so that it's easier to see.
Step 3: To convert the oval into an MOVIE CLIP (Movie Clip Symbol) called "background", by pressing F8.
Step 4: Convert this Movie Clip into another one called "gallery" and then, from the properties panel, give it the instance name "gallery". After that action script will be used to give the gallery some functionality and the instance names given to the MOVIE CLIP's will be used to reference them.
Step 5: Double click on the "gallery" movie clip and then on the "background" movie clip. Name the layer with the dark oval "background 1". Create the second layer called "background" and with the lighter grey (#505050) oval on this layer.
Step 6: From the properties panel, set the dimensions and positions, as shown below.
Step 7: Next, drag image 0 onto the "images" layer as shown below. Convert the image to a Movie Clip (F8) called "image0", selection "export for action script". This will allow the image to be attached with action script, using the "identifier" as a reference.
Step 8: Convert the Movie Clip again (F8) into another Movie Clip called "image Holder".
Step 9: Use the Oval Tool to create an oval on the mask layer, setting it to have the dimensions and positions as shown below. Right click on the mask layer and choose "mask".
Fig (a):
Step 10: The circle should now be masking the image, as shown below.
Step 11: Now we are going to create a temporary guide which will be used to place the thumbnails. Create a new layer called "guide" and see the Oval Tool to create a circle with just the stroke color and no fill. Set the dimensions and positions as figure shown below.
Step 12: Convert the ring into a Movie Clip (F8) called "guide".
Step 13: Double click on the MOVIE CLIP, create a new layer and draw a line, using the dimensions and positions as figure shown below.
Step 14: Create a vertical line on another new layer as figure shown below.
Step 15: Now copy the 2 lines onto a single new layer.
Step 16: Open the transform panel and set "rotate" to 45 degrees.
Step 17: Now, create a new MOVIE CLIP (Insert > New Symbol) called "thumb0" and create 2 layers called "image" and "mask". Drag the thumbnail thumb_0 on to the "image" layer, placing it at the position shown below.
Step 18: Create a circle on the "mask layer"
Step 19: Right click on the "mask" layer and chose "mask".
Step 20: Convert the mask into an MC (F8) called thumbMask. You can reuse this MC for the other thumbnails.
Step 21: Create a dark grey (#404040) circle on a layer below the image and mask, using the positions and dimensions shown below.
Step 22: This will also be reused for the other thumbnails, so convert it to an MC called "thumbBG". So, that's the 1st thumbnails created, now create the other 7, using steps 18 – 23.
Step 23: Next, create a layer called "thumbs" and drag thumb0 MC onto the stage, positioning it at the top over the guide. From the properties panel, give it the instance name "thumb0".
Step 24: Convert thumb0mc into another MC called thumb Holder. Set the registration point (circled in red) to the center. To rotate the thumbnails with action script, the thumb Holder MC will be rotate so that each thumbnail doesn't have to be rotated individually. Setting the registration point to the center makes sure the MC will rotate from the center.
Step 25: Add all 8 of the thumbnails where the lines intersect with the ring. Place thumb1 at the second point, thumb2 at the 3rd, and so on.
Step 26: When all the thumbnails have been added, go back to the Gallery Movie Clip and give the thumb Holder MC the instance name "thumb Holder".
Step 27: Then the image Holder MC and delete the image MC inside of it. This is because we will be adding the image dynamically with action script.
Step 28: Now we are going to create a gallery with rotating thumbnails. We will now use some action script. To make the thumbnails function and to rotate them around the main image.
Step 29: Code Explanation:
Line 1: A stop() function to stop it from looping
Line 2: A variable to hold the number of images in the gallery
Line 3: A boolean variable which is used to pause / unpause the gallery
Step 30: Code Explanation:
Line 6 – 7: A for loop is created to assign each thumbnail a property containing the name of it's corresponding image. The "i" in the loop will start off at 0 and increment by 1 (i++), while i is below 8 (i Line 8: Now that we are storing "thumb4" in "t", we give it the property "image" and assign it to hold image4 ("image"+i)
Step 31: Code Explanation:
Line 9: An onPress function is create for each thumbnail
Line 10: The last displayed image will be held in current, so we use this function to remove it before the new one is attached (line11), upon pressing the thumbnail
Line 11: We use the t.image property to attach the image to "imageHolder" MC. t.image is refered to as this.image because it's being called from withing an onPress function.
Line 12: When a thumbnail is rolled over with the mouse, the gallery will be pause (see next step), but when the thumbnail is pressed, we want them to start rotating again, so we set "pauseGallery" to equal false.
Step 32: Code Explanation:
Line 14 – 16: "pauseGallery" is set to equal true when the thumbnail is rolled over.
Line 17 – 20: "pauseGallery" is set to equal false when the thumbnail is rolled out.
Step 33: Code Explanation:
Line 21: When the gallery start image0 is attached to be displayed.
Line 22: An onEnterFrame function is created which will execute any code inbetween the braces {} repeatedly, at the frame rate (30) of the movie.
Line 23: Another loop is used to rotate each thumb counter clockwise with 0.5 degrees. This needs to be done because when the thumbnail holder is spinning round (line 27) the thumbnails will stop being upright.
Line 25: Last we rotate the thumbHolder by 0.5 degreess. You can change the value of this and line 27 to increase or decrease the speed of the rotation.

Oct. 17, 2011
By Logan Lee
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Saluki football coach Dale Lennon held his weekly press conference on Monday. Southern Illinois will travel to Northern Iowa for a 3 p.m. game on Saturday. The game will be broadcast locally on WSIU TV.
Q: Could part of the reason that UNI is so efficient on passing is the type of passes they use?
A: Well it is, their pass game is not a typical drop-back passing game where you need the drop-back protection. Most of their passing schemes are off the play-action where the quarterback is on the move. The other thing that he is very good at, is that if it is not there, that he can take off. The tough thing isn't always just defending the pass, it's also being able to grab on to the quarterback and to not let him hurt you with his feet. He has a good added dimension with that combination.
Q: How does Tirrell (Rennie) compare to other dual-threat quarterbacks you've faced?
A: He's the trigger of their offense. We haven't faced them yet, so it's tough to make that comparison, unless you're right up against them, but from our experience last year he is very elusive. He's tough to grab on to in the backfield, he has great speed, he can score from anywhere on the field, so he's that big-play threat for them. He has a good running back corps that compliments him, and his receivers have been making big catches. Plus, he's improved his passing game, and I think that's something that you really see as different from last year to this year. He's much more accurate with his throws.
Q: Does a win for you guys solve things for you?
A: Winning cures everything. It doesn't matter who you're playing but a win would be huge for us and make us feel good about what we're doing.
Q: How was the team after the game?
A: You never know what to expect when you address a team after a game like that, but I liked what I saw. We were disappointed in our performance on Saturday, but I think the determination look was in their eyes. With their meetings and watching the film, I think they saw what we saw as coaches. It's just a fine line between winning and losing and right now we just aren't doing enough to be on the right side of that line. That's what we have to keep plugging away at and eventually we'll get there.
A: You'd like to have the big play to just get the quick scores. If you don't have the big-play threat then you just have to play great defense. If we can do the field position game and give the opponent a long field to work with, that will always bode well for you, but you do want to have that ability to get a quick strike at some point in time.
Q: Why did you guys determine the defense struggled so much in the second half on Saturday?
A: Assignment sharp. A couple of the big plays that we gave up, the long 70-yard run, were just getting the right fits. If we're getting our right fits, that's probably a four or five-yard gain. It's the little things, nothing major. Even with our coverage, there were times that we were there for the big pass plays. We just have to play the ball better, and if we're not positioned to play the ball better, then we have to know what to do to disrupt the pass. Those things are correctable, and right now we aren't doing them and it's not helping us.
Q: Are you guys expecting them to stack the box again against the run?
A: I would think they would want to challenge us to throw the football, and I think that's what we're seeing across the board by most teams that we're playing. They're good enough defensively that I think they'll play their base defense and do what they do best. They'll be ready to adjust accordingly, but right now I don't think they're going to feel like they have to change up their defensive scheme. They'll be aware of what our strengths and weaknesses are, but they'll just play their defense.
Q: You have a lot of people on your team who were there for the win in 2009. Does that give you a lot of confidence?
A: We have confidence every week. You don't go into a game unless you expect to win. There are things that we're doing well that we feel good about that I think can be something that will help us get over the hump. Our guys love going to UNI because of the atmosphere, they love going to the UNI Dome. They'll have a big crowd and it's going to be noisy and hostile. That in itself is something that I think fires our guys up.
Q: How do you use the "underdog" role to your advantage in a game like this?
A: I don't know if you really have to build it up too much. We're the underdog going in as the 2-4 football team and we're playing number two team in the country. I think you mention that once and it should pretty much take hold.
Q: Can you talk about your impressions of Ben Boothby and their front four overall?
A: He's as good as there is. I think he is talented enough to where he could be playing on Sunday. It's fun to watch the film because he's good on one-on-one match ups, and if you give him a one-on-one match up he's going to hurt you. It's amazing how he handles the double teams and he's just a play maker. He's one of the strengths of their defense.
Q: How much tougher does it make it to run against that?
A: It makes it very tough. We have to be very assignment sharp. We have to be able to not be predictable. We have to package our run game in the fashion where we can be effective and not ask our guys to do something that they're not capable of doing. That's the challenge of putting a game plan together.
Q: Your front three and front seven have played very well this year, what has to happen to continue that this weekend?
A: Well, for us it's being assignment sharp, number one. Number two is we have to tackle. When we have the chance to bring someone down then we have to bring them down. It's a pretty simple formula for us and we're capable of both of those facets. We just have to do it on a consistent basis.
Q: Can you talk about your kickoff return? How close were you to breaking one of those open for a score?
A: We had one guy left, so that's about how close we were for each of them. We spent a lot of time working on the kickoff return and our guys believe in it which I think is the key. In fact, our special team players of the week was the kickoff return unit. We just felt that everybody on that unit did a good enough job to help Steve Strother have the type of game that he did on the return end.
Q: Do you expect UNI to kick out of bounds this weekend?
A: No. You never kick out of bounds because you get the ball at the 40, which is no different than getting the ball at midfield. Trust me, they're going to kick right at us.
Q: Did you ever get to talk to the YSU coach and ask him why they kept kicking to Strother?
A: They had a good kickoff unit. When they went up against Michigan State and some other good teams, they were able to kick it deep and cover. You would like to think your coverage unit is capable of doing that. I understand exactly why they kept kicking it.
Q: Can you talk about the type of runner that David Johnson is?
A: He's a good compliment to Carlos Anderson. They're different styles with Johnson being a little more of a long-strider and very smooth with his movement. It's one where he's moving faster than it looks. He has a great career in front of him. It was a good find for Northern Iowa. He kind of went under the radar with the big-time schools and UNI was on him the whole time. They did a great job in recruiting him.
Q: What kept George Danilkowicz out of the game Saturday? Was it something with a previous injury?
A: Yeah, it's just coming off of his knee.
Q: Was there any particular reason why Shariff Harris didn't dress Saturday?
A: It was disciplinary action. That's all I'll say. It has not been determined if he'll play this week.
Q: Will Mulku Kalokoh see more time?
A: Definitely a chance. He had a good week of practice last week, and we're hoping that we can get our run game to the level that we'd like to get it to. He has to be available to see the field.
Q: He's a little bit of a different style runner than the others, isn't he?
A: He's more of a long-strider, definitely faster than what it seems like he's moving out there. Very elusive, agile with the hips, he can break tackles with just a simple little shake. He's a quality back.
Q: What would you say their game is predicated on?
A: They get a lot of big plays because teams are overplaying the run or the option. South Dakota State is a perfect example. If you look at the statistics, SDSU won more of the statistical battles, but it was the big play that did them in. One was an 80 yard touchdown pass with a simple fake that the corner back bit on and the receiver was all by himself down the field. That is what a successful run game can do for you.

Hi All,
The Asset have fiscal year 2010, however we are trying to post the values via t.code ABZO and ABCO in the 02 area only , getting the below error.
we are using deprea key Z007( 100%) in the area 02
You cannot post acquisitions to asset 100000000010 0
Message no. AA394
You want to post an acquisition to this asset. However, according to depreciation key Z007 that was used, acquisition postings are only possible in the year of the initial acquisition or of the capitalization date.
Check the asset number, the asset value date and the transaction type. You have to create sub-numbers for subsequent acquisitions using this depreciation key. However, these sub-numbers cannot adopt their depreciation start date from the main asset number.
Please let us know how to resolve this error.
The error message AA394 is displayed due to customizing settings of the depreciation key in transaction AFAMA .
A workaround can might be to change your settings regarding field 'Acquisition only allowed in capitalization year' to
No. Hope this will work.
Hi Farooq,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I have checked the t.code' AFAMA'Acq.only allowed in capitalization year' selected YES.
If i selected NO is there any harm?
Is there any other alternative orther than config? i.e
Please refer to OSS No. 211283. This will clarify your concerns.
Hi Farooq,
Is ther any other alternative to solve this probelm,?
