CORPUS CHRISTI – Ashley Mills (Kingwood, Texas/Kingwood HS), has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi cross country and track and field teams, Director of Cross Country and Track and Field Shawn Flanagan announced today. Mills will join the Islanders program for the 2012-13 season.
"We are very excited to have her next year," Flanagan said. "She's from a very strong program out of Kingwood. She has competitive times in the 5,000 meters and 800 meter times in cross country. She is running about 2:15 in the 800 and 18:38 in the 5k for cross country. Her high school has been consistently in the top in cross country and she brings some good experience at high caliber running."
During her senior season, Mills finished fourth in the two mile at the state cross country championships with a personal-best time of 11:26.30 to help lead her team to a second-place finish. She followed that performance by placing 14th at the Nike Cross Nationals South Regional in the 5k with a time of 18:48.60. At the 2012 District 14-5A track and field meet, she came in second with a personal-best time of 2:15.71 in the 800m.
She was named to the All-State Team in 2011 after clocking five personal-best times throughout the cross country season. At the Kingwood Andy Wells Invitational, she placed second in the 4000m with a personal-best time of 14:31.92. She clocked a personal-best time of 18:38.70 at the McNeil Invitational in the 5k to place right outside the top 10.
Prior to the 2011 season, Mills and the Mustangs were named to Marc Bloom's Top 25 U.S. High School Cross Country team's list after clinching the 2010 5A cross country championship title.
Mills will join Abel Koskey (Eldoret, Kenya/UTEP), Alexandra Fernandez (Corpus Christi/Carroll HS) Kim Ward (Corpus Christi/Moody HS), Regina Salinas (Corpus Christi/Incarnate Word), Samantha Hardin (Denison/ Montgomery HS) and Joel Gracia (La Joya/Juarez Lincoln HS) for the 2012-13 recruiting class.

Topic: Questions about "new posts" timing out
This isn't really a suggestion, but I didn't know where else to post it.
When I log in and begin to review the new posts, if I stop for a short time or even answer a couple posts myself, I find that the new posts indicators disappear. I then have to remember or find when I posted last and search for the more recent posts that way.
Is there a way to re-set this part of the site or set it for a longer time period. It really seems like it is only about 10 or 15 minutes long before it times out. Am I doing something wrong in the way that I review the messages? I just click on the new posts after signing in.
it's about learning how to dance in the rain."

1. Made it across the monkey bars!: 14:16
Last Friday, I successfully made it across the monkey bars!
Yes, go ahead and laugh. It seems like such a simple goal. Kids can do it. Heck, J- very handily does so without thinking too much about it. But last Thursday, it was a big deal to me. I made it across the monkey bars for the very first time.
I don't remember really playing on the monkey bars before. Sure, I'd clamber up them, but I never swung from bar to bar like, well, a monkey. And at 24 years old, faced with the jungle gym at Lithuania Park, I simply couldn't make it across no matter how much I wanted.
I was afraid that if I let go with one hand, the elbow of my other arm would lock. I was worried that my weak grip meant that my fingers would slip off the bar. I couldn't think of how to reach the next bar, especially if it was above the current one. Heck, I couldn't even hang there for a few moments without my hands hurting. I couldn't make it across. I couldn't even reach for the next bar.
Then I decided to stop making excuses. I watched J- do it and tried my best to do the same. Here's what I learned: Don't pull, just hang. Don't stop. Just keep going, and use your momentum to swing you over.
I did it! =) My hands hurt like anything and my palms were still sore that evening, but I finished it!
Next: figure out how to climb up the pole...

Hey all— Starting with today's deployment, we have begun gradually disabling the Collabs section by removing the ability to upload new art and music. We'll be leaving everything up until after the new year, to give everyone plenty of time to download their stuff* and move it to another site; after that, we'll disable the section and none of the works will be accessible.
Why are we doing this? Well, basically, our goal is to have Kongregate be truly excellent at all the things it does. We've been looking at various aspects of the site and asking ourselves if they are awesome. If they aren't awesome, we're having to decide whether we want to try to make them awesome. Obviously, some things are going to get improved significantly (like all the room mod features); other things (like tipping) are going to be discontinued. Our forum about The Arts will remain, though, so you'll still be able to post links to your work and get feedback from other kongfolks.
*A note about downloading: If your uploaded them as "all rights reserved" it's not currently possible to download them. Whoops! In the next deployment, we'll fix it so that the person who uploaded them can download them regardless of the settings. At that point, we'll whisper or email everyone who uploaded works to the section, so they'll have plenty of notice.
I'm sure y'all have questions that I didn't answer, so go ahead and ask them!

February 2, 2006
With three weeks notice, Dr. Richard Jadick made the decision to travel to Iraq with a Marine batallion as a Navy director. He had no idea that he'd spend a month in the middle of an intense battle in Fallujah. As News 12 reports, what happened there earned him a big reward.
Clearing the city looked a lot like this for Dr. Richard Jadick and the 54 corpsmen with him in Iraq a year ago.
"This was an ambush, this was where they were just shootin'," said Dr. Richard Jadick.
Dr. Jadick tells us the story when soldiers went down.
"We stabilized him, carried him out," Dr. Jadick said.
He picked them up, courage that earned him a rare Bronze Star with a combat V for valor.
"But my battalion said hey we're going to bat for this guy, he deserves this award," Dr. Jadick said.
Dr. Jadick rescued seven wounded Marines at one time from the middle of battle in Fallujah. Despite his help, one of them didn't make it.
"To hear his corpsman say to him, listed doc, Jadick's gotcha, you made it here, you're gonna live and then he doesn't, that's where it's tough," Dr. Jadick said.
Emotional memories that this doctor things about every day.
"I mean, cause you do, you feel like you let somebody down, try not to," Dr. Jadick said.
A man set on saving lives and the people around him knowing what a difference he made.
"Bronze Star with a combat V is a big honor," Dr. Jadick said.
Dr. Jadick helped save the lives of over 90 Marines in Iraq. He actually served in the Marines for six years himself. This was his second deployment to Iraq helping the Marines as a doctor. He's not a urology resident at MCG, and says if he's asked to go back in the future, he will.

Wild Country Tent
This is a new thread for owners of the Wild Country Zephyros to leave their reviews and experiences with the tent. It would be nice to get some photos of the tents in action.
There are two models: The Zephyros 1 & The Zephyros 2.
The tents look similar to Terra Nova Lasers (single tranverse hoop with end struts).
Below is a schematic of the Zephyros 2:
I'm not sure how to go about this - I have 12 photos of the tent added to my gallery. If you view the image can you also view the others rather than me posting all 12? And yes I know the grass needs cutting I like the tent I think it's great, I can see the inner and flysheet touching though in strong gusting winds but not significantly so, I wont know until I use it in anger in some 'orrible conditions and in any case this is the first attempt at pitching it and I couldn't attach the guyline around the back of the tent because of the bushes. The pegs are not bad at all actually but I prefer my other ones. There's a nice big space each end where I could store things, bags of food
It seems not, so here are the other pics.
It looks great, I can't wait to get mine so I can have a play!
Thanks for posting.
It is a good looking tent. Anyone want a Vango Spectre 200 or a Terra Nova Laser Competition?
Nice photos masterluke, I thought this topic would create a lot of interest when I first mentioned about this tent in my original post. It kind of looks too good to be true but I'm sure its a fine tent. I'm thinking of getting one just for the hell of it and to keep my Akto for best if that makes sense. Cant wait to hear the reports on its performance. Also I bet soon their will be people shaving grammes off by changing guy lines and webbing to dyneema and pegs to titanium and the all the usual stufff.
paul baggett wrote (see)
any chance of some pictures of the pack size?
In what form, in it's own bag? I've been trying to figure out how best to pack the tent in my rucksack, my other tent I've been previously using - MH Sprite 1 is inner pitching first so I pack the inner and flysheet separately in the side pockets. Detaching and reattaching the inner/flysheet I will find to be too much faff esp. when it's every day, I want to keep it 'as-one' for ease of pitching. At the moment it's in a compression bag (the sort you seal & squeeze and roll the air out) which has squashed it up well, it's a comparable size to the clothes which I do the same with. Obviously I've had to remove the small end poles first. If anything it has probably freed up space with the space now available in the side pockets for something else. The only problem with squashing things up into compression bags is that it can be difficult/impossible to do when you have freezing cold wet hands!
Colonel Blimp wrote (see)
I also have a Vango Spectre 200, an MSR Zoid 2 and a Vango Spirit 300+! One can never have too many tents though, can one...?!
I'm really being good not buying this tent, just to add it to my Sololite and Aspect 1 and turn into Mr Wild Country
Looks a fine little number for sure!
Many thanks to masterluke for this early review and some great photos! I'll almost certainly be buying one of these later in the year now.
I take it then it pitches inner and fly together?
masterluke wrote (see)
Question for those of you that have used the similar Competition/Laser - how do you best pitch these tents into the wind? They don't have a rear end as such, I haven't used a single pole tent before.
Soooo tempting - somebody stop me.
(Repeat to self 'I have enough tents, I have enough tents, I have enough tents ...')
You can now read all the details about these new tents on the Terra Nova website:

Tuscaloosa set to carry out downtown plan
New zoning district could replace Downtown/Riverfront Overlay District
Published: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The city's Planning and Developmental Services is ready to implement the Greater Downtown Plan.
John McConnell, the Planning and Development Services' director, detailed how the Greater Downtown Plan, which was completed in 2010, will work during Tuesday's meeting of the City Council's Public Projects Committee.
McConnell said he expects the Greater Downtown Plan will result in a new zoning district for downtown by the end of the year.
"We're taking the red tape out of it," McConnell said.
He said the new zoning district, if adopted by the City Council, would replace the Downtown/Riverfront Overlay District, which was enacted in 2007 as a stop-gap measure to halt unbridled development.
McConnell will work to implement the plan with a team consisting of several city department heads.
There will also be a 10-member oversight committee composed of residents from a variety of backgrounds — from University of Alabama professors and business owners to neighborhood and historic preservation representatives.
McConnell said he plans to have a version of the Greater Downtown Plan ready for public viewing by October.
Public comments will be reviewed and any changes to the plan will be made in November.
The Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council could vote on adoption of the new zoning codes and other elements of the Greater Downtown Plan by December.
"Once we get all the technical work done, we're going to bring something back and show it to the community to ask if we got everything right," McConnell said. "A lot of the work is very technical, as you can imagine, but we hope to get it done by the end of the year."
In addition to the new zones, McConnell said the Greater Downtown Plan will include planned infrastructure and transportation upgrades as well as a specialized district tax called a Tax-Increment Financing District that, if adopted, would earmark property tax increases in the area to fund road, sewer and other work within the district.
"We'll be looking at what kind of projects can we do to enhance the walkability and viability of downtown," McConnell said.
As proposed, the district is bordered by the Black Warrior River to the north, 15th Street to the south, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the west and Queen City Avenue to the east.
However, McConnell said the implementation team and oversight committee could determine this area should be reduced to adequately carry out the plan.

Clemson claims baseball series finale vs. No. 1 North Carolina
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 12:46 a.m.
In Chapel Hill, N.C., Garrett Boulware's groundout scored Jay Baum in the 11th inning as Clemson salvaged the third game of a series against top-ranked North Carolina, beating the Tar Heels 5-4 on Monday night.
The win is the 16th all-time for Clemson (17-11, 6-6 ACC) against a No. 1 team.
North Carolina (25-2, 9-2) jumped out to 2-0 and 3-1 leads before the Tigers clawed back with three runs in the sixth inning to take a 4-3 lead.
The Tar Heels tied it in the seventh on a run-scoring groundout.
Scott Firth (3-4) pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings in relief to earn the win. He allowed three hits and two walks, striking out one, and worked his way out of jams in the eighth, 10th and 11th innings.
Chris O'Brien (0-1), the seventh of eight Tar Heel pitchers, suffered the loss.
Shane Kennedy went 2-for-3 with a double, run, and three walks to lead Clemson, who totaled 10 hits in the game. Thomas Brittle added a team-high two RBIs.
Cody Stubbs went 4-for-5 with an RBI to pace the Tar Heels.
Earlier Monday, the teams completed a game that was halted Sunday due to weather, and Tar Heels came away with a 6-2 victory.
UNC right-handers Benton Moss and Trent Thornton combined to allow just six hits, two unearned runs, and one walk with 13 strikeouts.
Clemson starter Clate Schmidt (2-1) suffered the loss, as he yielded five hits, two runs, and one walk in two innings.
Boulware and Kennedy both went 2-for-4 to lead the Tigers, who amassed six hits in the contest.
Landon Lassiter led North Carolina's 11-hit attack by going 4-for-5 with a double and two RBIs.
Clemson will next host Gardner-Webb at Doug Kingsmore Stadium on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Sherri Shepherd�just added another custody battle to her docket.
The View�co-host's first husband Jeffrey Tarpley has filed for an emergency custody modification hearing,�People�reports.
The documents, which were filed in April, claim that their 9-year-old son Jeffrey Jr., who has special needs, is suffering from "neglect."
More shocking celebrity breakups
Blaming Shepherd's work schedule, Tarpley accuses Shepherd of depriving Jeffrey of "access to basic educational needs, a nurturing and loving environment, and care that Jeffrey so desperately needs." Instead, Tarpley says that Shepherd relegates "primary responsibility for our minor child to unskilled nannies." Because of this, Tarpley claims Jeffrey cannot tie his own shoes, reads below his grade level, can barely write and has poor hygiene.
According to�TMZ, Shepherd responded with her own documents, calling Tarpley an absentee father who deserves no part in Jeffrey's life.
Add new fall shows to your Watchlist!
Tarpley is seeking temporary physical custody. And while a judge found no cause for a temporary emergency order, a hearing has been scheduled forJuly 21.
Tarpley filed his petition a month before Shepherd's current husband, Lamar Sally, filed for�divorce�and full legal and physical custody of their unborn son. Sally claims their prenup was invalidated on grounds of fraud, but has requested that Shepherd be granted "reasonable" visitation rights to their child.
Shepherd ended her 10-year marriage to Tarpley in 2011 and married Sally that August.

- NFL: Panthers' Smith expects to play against 49ers
- Purdy: San Francisco 49ers are beating the odds
- 49ers notebook: Kicker Phil Dawson calls rival
The 49ers and Panthers are competing for a spot in the NFC Championship game, where the 49ers have gone the past two seasons (losing to the Giants in 2012 and beating the Falcons in 2013) and the Panthers last went in 2006 (losing to the Seahawks). The Bay Area News Group's Cam Inman breaks them down and picks his winner ...
This is Cam Newton's playoff debut, and he hasn't been one to wilt on a big stage. Three weeks ago, he clinched the NFC South title with a fourth-quarter comeback over New Orleans. Three years ago at Auburn, he dominated the SEC Championship game (408 total yards, six touchdowns) and delivered a national-championship win over Oregon (265 passing yards, two TD passes, 64 rushing yards). Drafted first overall in 2011, he passed for the most yards ever in a debut (422). His ensuing Panthers career hasn't been as consistently dazzling, but he still can make a grand entrance to the playoffs. The 49ers defense, however, didn't let Newton thrive in their Nov. 10 game, and they have the linebacker corps capable of neutralizing him.
Left tackle Joe Staley must set the tone for an offensive line that yielded six sacks in the Nov. 10 loss to Carolina. Staley often will go toe-to-toe with Greg Hardy, who accounts for 15 of the Panthers' league-high 60 sacks. Hardy didn't sack Colin Kaepernick in the teams' last meeting. Staley says the 6-foot-4, 290-pound defensive end is "really slippery" and "finds a way to get off blocks" to make plays. Hardy had four sacks in the Panthers' last game, at Atlanta, after which he was asked if he's ever before dominated like that. Hardy's response: "Man, I dominated breakfast when I woke up." Staley's response upon hearing that: "He must have had a heck of a breakfast."
Colin Kaepernick, barring injury, can't have a worse outing than his career-low 91 passing yards in the last game against the Panthers. This time, Michael Crabtree is in the lineup, fresh from his Lambeau Field masterpiece (eight catches, 125 yards). Also available is tight end Vernon Davis, who left with a second-quarter concussion against the Panthers on Nov. 10. Crabtree, Davis and Anquan Boldin will need to find windows in the Panthers' zone and make more clutch, third-down catches. Obviously, the 49ers must protect Kaepernick better from one of the NFL's best fronts, led by the sack tandem of Greg Hardy (15 sacks) and Charles Johnson (11). Cornerback Captain Munnerlyn has returned five of his seven career interceptions for touchdowns. Safety Mike Mitchell's four interceptions this season were twice as many as his entire Raiders career (2009-12).
Starting running backs are averaging only 43 rushing yards against the Panthers over the past 20 games. But Frank Gore nearly doubled that figure with his 16 carries for 82 yards in Week 10. Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei will clog the middle, but it's Luke Kuechly's sideline-to-sideline speed that makes him the Panthers' most dominant tackler. Fullbacks Will Tukuafu and Anthony Dixon must knock Kuechly out of lanes, something left guard Mike Iupati also could do on the 49ers' favorite power runs. Carolina's zone defense -- especially linebackers Kuechly and Thomas Davis -- will make it harder for Colin Kaepernick to scramble for the big gains he had at Green Bay. The Panthers are allowing just 86.9 rushing yards per game (second only to Arizona; 84.4).
Cam Newton has passed for at least 200 yards in only three of the Panthers' past eight games, completing over 20 passes only once in that span. He will be more elusive than Aaron Rodgers last week, but the 49ers pass rush looks in full gear with Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks. Smith played just 12 snaps last meeting in his first game back from personal issues. The Panthers passing attack won't be as potent if Steve Smith struggles (or plays at all) with a knee sprain. Tight end Greg Olsen (team-high 73 catches, six touchdowns) will be a challenge for linebacker Patrick Willis, as well as safeties Eric Reid and Donte Whitner. Brandon LaFell starts opposite Steve Smith and could be a threat in the slot, where the 49ers are likely to deploy Perrish Cox again in place of Carlos Rogers (hamstring).
DeAngelo Williams, Carolina's all-time leading rusher, wove his way through the 49ers defense for the only touchdown in their Week 10 meeting. Williams (843 yards, 4.2 per carry) has more speed and is a greater receiving threat than the 49ers' Gore, at least in the eyes of 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Cam Newton is the Panthers' other top threat, and NaVorro Bowman might be summoned to chase after him as he did so well in 2011 against Philadelphia's Michael Vick. Newton, who ran for just 15 yards in Week 10, is Pro Bowl bound along with center Ryan Kalil and fullback Mike Tolbert. "As a nose guard, you look forward to games like this, where there is a lot of emphasis on the run," said the 49ers' Glenn Dorsey. The 49ers haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher all season.
If this comes down to a field goal, the 49ers will gladly send in Phil Dawson, who won their past two games on field goals as time expired at Arizona and Green Bay. The Panthers' Graham Gano leads the league in touchback percentage on kickoffs, and he's made 24 of 27 field-goal attempts (6 of 6 on 50 yard-plus). Former 49ers returner Ted Ginn Jr. ranked sixth in the league on punt returns (12.2 yards per return). LaMichael James seems close to breaking a big return for the 49ers, who used his 37-yard kickoff return Sunday to spark a fourth-quarter TD drive at Lambeau. Punter Andy Lee grew up some 2½ hours from Charlotte in Westminster, S.C.
Jim Harbaugh can become the first coach since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to advance to conference championship games in each of his first three seasons. But Harbaugh must first beat his former Chicago Bears teammate and Panthers counterpart Ron Rivera, whose job seemed tenuous after a 1-3 start. Rivera then morphed into "Riverboat Ron" with a gambling, aggressive style that's helped translate into wins in 11 of Carolina's past 12. This is Rivera's playoff debut in three seasons at Carolina. Harbaugh does not believe his assistants have been distracted by job prospects elsewhere, and more success would seem to enhance the résumés of Greg Roman, Vic Fangio and Jim Tomsula.
Overcoming harsh elements -- oh, and the host Green Bay Packers -- should instill the 49ers with confidence that they can conquer anything in their path to Super Bowl XLVIII. Two years ago, the New York Giants knocked off the defending champion Packers at chilly Lambeau en route to the Lombardi Trophy. Winning again on the road won't be easy, but a fully stocked 49ers team makes that possible at Carolina. Cam Newton's inexperience and Steve Smith's injury will hurt the Panthers' chances. The 49ers will take an eight-game win streak into the NFC Championship game next Sunday. Score: 49ers 27, Panthers 16

We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief: The election is over!
No more daily robo-calls; no more negative TV ads; no more campaign flyers filling our mailboxes. Politics have always been polarizing in our nation. There is a long tradition of candidates slinging mud at each other. Elections are, by their very nature, divisive. But this year's presidential campaign seemed to have gone far beyond anything we've experienced before.
The election may be over, but I'm afraid the divide remains. Many are asking the question, "Why can't we all just get along?"
This is not just true in the political arena, however. Lots of folks feel the same way when it comes to religion. Within Christianity, there are tens of thousands of different denominations, branches and sects. Wouldn't the Christian church be better served if we all worked together? Wouldn't Jesus want us to get along with each other as his followers?
The answer to those questions is yes. On the night of his betrayal, Jesus prayed for the unity of his followers. As he prayed for strength for his disciples, he also prayed for those who would come to faith in him in the future. He said, "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me" (John 17:23). Jesus wanted his followers to be united, not divided. Our desire as Christians is the same.
Too often, however, it seems that those who decry the fact that not all Christians are walking together fail to recognize that there are genuine, profound differences in teachings and beliefs among Christian churches. True unity can only be achieved when Christians believe the same thing. Anything short of that is promoting a false unity, one which merely sweeps differences under the rug.
When Jesus prayed for the unity of his followers, he wasn't implying that they should ignore differences or dummy down the Christian faith. Before he ascended into heaven, he commanded his disciples to teach "everything I have commanded you," (Matthew 28:20) not just the basics. Through his apostle Paul, Jesus told his followers to "watch out for" those who preach and teach things that are different from the pure doctrine they have learned from the Bible and to "keep away from them" (Romans 16:17).
True unity among Christians can only be achieved by genuine agreement on what the Bible teaches. That doesn't mean that denominations and churches ought to fight each other and sling mud at one another like candidates in an election battle. We shouldn't. We need to recognize that the body of Christ, that is, the Holy Christian Church, includes all who believe that Jesus is the Son of God and trust in him as their Savior. No one church or denomination has a lock on that.
We should join in our Savior's prayer for unity among Christians. We should work toward reaching that goal. But such unity cannot be achieved on the basis of compromise. Rather, unity can only be achieved by agreeing on what God says in his Word, by professing that faith together, and by holding to that faith without compromise.

Every start-up business makes mistakes frequently. Quite a few of these are common mistakes from which every business must learn.
3 Prerequisites for Capturing Market
1. Build Your Brand
When floating a new business, one must be conversant with all the marketing strategies to build the brand name. Hiring consultants is a good idea for the same.
2. Keep Affordable Prices
Since customers are very price-conscious, one should keep affordable prices for the products and services offered so that customers don't think twice before purchasing. Quality and quantity both must be taken into account.
3. Invest In R&D
For a product-based start-up business, investment in local R&D labs is important, since every customer wants the most advanced product. Investment in R&D can also help in getting government support.
Here are a few pitfalls to avoid:
1. Choosing a Bad Location
Business must be careful while choosing a location, as a bad location can create problems later.
Before establishing any business, one must consider various factors. Availability of all resources near your business area is important. If water, electricity etc. are not available easily it may create hindrance later on.
Also, these resources won't be of any use if the business is not close to the markets. If any problem comes while working, markets must be near-by to get the problem fixed. It would also save time and money.
2. Launching Late
Every entrepreneur must launch its business at the right time. Launching too late will hinder the scheduled completion of the quantum of tasks a start-up faces.
Giving excuses and postponing launch can also give an opportunity to the competitors to capture a significant portion of one's prospective customers.
3. Raising Less Capital
Another common mistake most start ups make is raise less capital in the beginning.
Every start up has only so much capital to go through the gestation period, and you don't want your capital to peter out before the business starts making profits. So it's better to take enough money from investors in the beginning to cushion yourself against lack of funds later on.
4. Trying to Do Everything
Entrepreneurs must be careful not to do everything themselves. Some tasks are better outsourced.
Today, everything from phone call to a large shipment of manufacturing can be outsourced. Even though business will be paying someone else, your own time and efforts can be saved and used wisely on other work areas.
Responsibilities should be spread out to vendors, distributors, and outsourcing agencies etc. as there is always a limit to what a small business can do itself.
5. Not Having The Right Infrastructure
Infrastructure is the backbone of business, and the right set-up is important for a start-up business to get established successfully. But it has been seen that entrepreneurs often start companies without taking the infrastructure issues seriously.
Not having proper plant and machinery, connections, and resources will keep the business from growing. Having a proper infrastructure also leaves a good impression on clients.

Family Portraits told by Donald Davis
Feb. 18, 2012
Frank and Katrina Basile Theater, History Center
7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Back by popular demand, Donald Davis takes us on a journey through his rural North Carolina town, meeting friends, neighbors and family members along the way. His colorful tales of family idiosyncrasies often leave "listeners limp with laughter" according to The New York Times. Smithsonian Magazine says Donald is "a master of timing" and he has his audience "hanging on his every word." In 2010, Donald was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Storytelling Network for his lifelong dedication to expanding the public awareness of the art of storytelling, the teaching of the art of storytelling and for his body of work. For Donald, storytelling is a way of giving and living life. He invites each listener to come along, to pull deep inside for one's own stories, to personally share and co-create the common experiences that celebrate the creative spirit. For Donald Davis storytelling "is not what I do for a living ... it is how I do all that I do while I am living."

A new abortion clinic is scheduled to open in Wichita this week, the first since former abortion provider George Tiller was killed nearly four years ago.
The South Wind Women's Center will provide abortions up to 14 weeks of pregnancy, as well as other services.
Clinic director Julie Burkhart, who worked for Tiller for seven years, said the clinic will open when last-minute details are worked out sometime this week. Three doctors will work on a rotating basis at the clinic.
The Kansas City Star reported abortion opponents are vowing to force the clinic to close.
Burkhart said security will be heightened at the clinic and patients will be safe.
Tiller was gunned down in 2009 at his church in Wichita by anti-abortion activist Scott Roeder.

October 31 and the goblins will be out tonight. Whispering Pines Bed & Breakfast is located about 3 miles outside of town, so even though it is well lit, we seldom have trick or treaters. That's okay because this year it falls on a Saturday and we will be filled with overnight guests celebrating the last weekend of October. Soon the fall will give way to winter and the snow will begin to fall on the pine trees. It really is quite beautiful.
The other day we had a light rain and when the clouds began to move, the sun began to shine once again. I think this was a photographers dream for a few moments. I happened to have my camera in hand and quickly ran outside to take a few pictures. Everything was perfect; the overcast sky, the light trickling in from the sun and soon there was a rainbow as well. Everything turned a bright yellow/gold – it was breath taking. In fact several of our guests also talked about natures light show that early evening. So I wanted to share these photos with you.
Many years ago we traveled by car to Dallas to visit family. We drove through a rain storm on the highway. The rain stopped, the sun came out and there were three rainbows poised in the sky. Cars on both side of the highway stopped to look. It was awesome. I wish we had been camera ready at the moment.
Do you have a favorite scenic photo you would like to share? Would love to see it.
Hope to see you soon,
Hope to see you soon,

Prexton opts for Parkinson drug
23.01.2013 - Merck-Serono spin-out Prexton Therapeutics has secured an exclusive licence option on a Parkinson candidate of Domain Therapeutics.
The Strasbourg-based company's metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4) Positive Allosteric Modulator (PAM) was previously developed through a licensing and collaboration agreement signed between Domain and Merck Serono in January 2011. Prexton was spun out following Merck Serono restructuring, taking on the mother company's R&D portfolio in the field of Parkinson's disease.
Under the terms of the agreement signed between Domain and Prexton, Prexton will benefit from an exclusive license option to progress two mGluR4 PAM drug candidates into clinical development. mGluR4 is a glutamate receptor, member of the G-Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) family and is believed to be a potential therapeutic target for Parkinson's disease. Allosteric modulation of mGluR4 receptors is thought to exert regulatory activity onglutamate-mediated neurotransmission

Posts: 14
a question on the relationship between Tolkien and Esperanto.
Excluded the letter of 1932 on "The British Esperantist" of May 1932 (A Philologist on Esperanto) do you know these two references published on "The British Esperantist" in 1933?
1. 24th British Esperanto Congress, Oxford-Easter 1933.
2. The Educational Value of Esperanto, a document signed also by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Here the English version of my article.

On the Shelf:
Nine Summer Knitting Titles
When it gets too hot to comfortably knit, why not read about knitting instead? I've gone through my rapidly growing library of books and picked some titles you may enjoy. Most are new, and a few have been around longer but are too good to pass up. Happy reading!
  Order it at Amazon.com
We begin with a big, beautiful book from Brandon Mably. I'm tempted to call it a coffee-table book because its glossy pages are filled with lush and evocative photographs from Mably's travels around the world—places like Vietnam, Peru, India, South Africa, and even the United States.
But that doesn't entirely do this book justice because it's also a full-fledged book about color inspiration in knitwear design—a subject Mably knows well. He begins with an abbreviated color workshop and then launches into his travels, showing photographs of places and then presenting the knitted design that was inspired by that image. It's genuine, not contrived, and I love to see how he translates what he sees into what he knits.
There are 20 patterns total, with several jackets and pillows as well as wraps, vests, and other objects. It's a great book for armchair travel and dreaming.
  Order it at Amazon.com
I can't discuss beautiful books without mentioning Teva Durham's new ode to crochet. Her earlier book, Loop-d-Loop, fed the knitting world with bold, modern styles that showed respectful roots in traditional knitting.
A self-professed "knit snob," Durham admits that she viewed crochet as the "poor stepsister to knitting" until she discovered an exquisite crochet piece made by her grandmother. Having learned that crochet was firmly rooted in her own crafting heritage, Durham set herself on a mission to learn more about crochet. "It was like free-falling into a new dimension at first," she writes, but soon she began to contemplate the design potential in front of her. This book is the result of that mission.
The designs all carry Teva's distinct outside-of-the-box style aesthetic, with bold and modern shapes, colors, and textures. The photography is evocative with designs unlike any crochet work I've ever seen.
Speaking of evocative designs, Stefanie Japel—the woman behind Glampyre Knits—has recently published a book of her own original designs. In keeping with the "fitted knits" title, Japel starts out with a very brief three-page explanation about how you can use minor calculations to adjust each of the book's 25 patterns for an ideal fit. I like this, because it means I could knit almost everything in this book and know that it'd fit me just right.
The designs are presented by garment type—tubes, tanks, and tees; shrugs, cardigans, and wraps; sweaters, vests, and coats; and dress-up clothes. Part of what makes Japel's customizing-to-fit instructions work is the fact that all the projects in this book—that is, all those with substantial sleeves—have a raglan shaping. If you're a decidedly anti-raglan kind of knitter, you may not be best served by this book. As for me, my heart has been won by the Textured Tunic pattern shown in detail on the cover.
While summer may not be the best time to work with qiviut—it is the warmest fiber on the planet after all—it is the perfect time to read about it. And nobody has done qiviut more justice than Donna Druchunas in this award-winning book.
Druchunas leaves no stone unturned in her quest to find out everything there is to know about qiviut and the cultural knitting traditions surrounding it. She begins with the story of the Oomingmak Musk Ox Producers' Co-operative and the Native Alaskan women who own and operate it, taking us to several regions and showing the traditional lace pattern from each area. We meet the mythical musk ox and learn just how much work has gone into developing the qiviut yarn you see today.
Then she puts knitting needles back in our hands and teaches us how to knit lace, from choosing needles and casting on to reading charts to working the basic lace stitches. You have three swatch lessons, and then a tutorial on blocking your qiviut project to perfection.
Here's where I should start yelling, "But wait, that's not all—it also comes with a free set of Ginsu knives!" Because in addition to the wonderful history, geography, and culture lesson, Druchunas next presents 20 of her own original designs inspired by the culture and art of the Yup'ik and Inupiat people. They range in skill from relative beginner to advanced knitter, and all are of a reasonable size (which is good because qiviut also happens to be one of the most expensive fibers on the planet). And after showing you her patterns for things like scarves, hats, wrist warmers, and so on, she finally gives you helpful information on how to create your own design.
It comes as no surprise that this book won the Bronze Medal in the Independent Publisher Award contest at this year's Book Expo America.
If the mere notion of reading about warm fibers has you down, Amy Singer's anti-wool manifesto will come in handy. Allergic to wool, Singer has focused her knitterly mind on the subject of wool alternatives. These materials have come a long way since the early days of sticky synthetics. "The fibers we knit with may not all be natural miracles like wool," she tells her fellow non-wool knitters, "but thanks to science and technology, they're still a miracle and are totally knitworthy for their own merits."
In a chatty and conversational tone, she walks you through the qualities of different non-wool fiber types, such as cotton, linen, hemp, silk, bamboo, soy, and so on. But even she shudders at polyester, describing it as "like that creepy relative of yours that won't go home after the family reunion." More helpful fiber tidbits are tucked throughout the rest of the book.
In terms of pattern selection, Singer has assembled a variety of garments, many of which you'd expect to be knit in wool—intricate cabled and colorwork pullovers, and even socks and thrummed mittens.
If you have fond memories of making lanyards in summer camp, this book is for you. I don't know what you'll actually do with the miles of braided, twisted, knotted, looped, and woven stuff you'll end up making. That part is up to you—perhaps funky shoelaces, or bag handles, hair accessories, curtain tie-backs, or even embellishments that you sew onto knitted items. I know I'll bring this book out when my young nieces come to visit later this month.
Speaking of young nieces, if you find yourself trying to entertain kids on summer vacation, perhaps it's time to teach them how to knit? Better yet, hand them a book, some yarn and needles, and let them teach themselves.
Ha! I realize that's easier said than done. But if you know a patient and self-directed five- to ten-year-old who wants to knit, this would be a great book to give him or her. It's well-written and clear without being intimidating. The illustrations and pictures and even projects follow the same style as Guy and Hall's previous knitting books—Mary Poppins meets Amelia Bedelia, but in a knitting context.
If you're in an arts-and-crafts mood but need a little more fiber contact than lanyards, consider making this your summer of felt. We have a lot of good felt books on the market right now, including a lovely new one from Nicki Epstein, but this softcover book from Gillian Harris probably remains the most technically varied and visually gorgeous one I've seen.
The cover picture alone was enough to hook me, but look inside and you'll find page after page of more projects that are just as fresh and attractive. Techniques include flat felt (with an adorable "Ewe and I" sheep wallhanging for beginners), three-dimensional shapes (such as the bag on the cover), knitted felting (including a fun chair cushion), needle felting (with the most adorable tooth fairy bag I've ever seen), and so-called "advanced" techniques, such as nuno felting. Each technique is clearly explained and illustrated, and each pattern has a difficulty rating to help you choose what to do next.
In my dream world, universities would offer degree programs in knitting. The well-rounded curriculum would span not just fibers, yarns, and techniques, but also history and culture. And in the latter category, Wills' book would be one of the textbooks.
With the persistence of an investigative reporter and the passion of a Ph.D. candidate, Wills walks us through her own snapshot of the contemporary knitting world. She does so primarily through interviews with dozens upon dozens of knitters, from knitters to shop owners, prominent knitbloggers, designers, and authors. She goes all over the place, from the influence of Elizabeth Zimmermann to Kate Gilbert and her famous Clapotis. She ends her book with a quote from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, from whom the book's title was taken.
Wills does an admirable job of capturing one slice of our broad and ever-shifting knitting ecosystem into just a little over 100 pages. The textbook feel is enhanced by the book's formal black-and-white layout, high price tag, and the fact that it doesn't come to us from a knitting publisher at all. Rather, it is part of Praeger Publishers' American Subcultures series.

Start strategy to save for your children college education isn't a simple task. Everyone once to start to save as soon as their children are born, but over things seem to get in the way. Purchasing a home, establishing a career or even finishing your own education, are just a few detours you encounter through out your life journey.
The average tuition cost to attend a state university in the 2020 is around 200,000 or more for the four years. Don't give up or not start as soon as you can. Opening a college account and put something away weekly will help no matter when you start. A college savings calculator can be discouraging when you see how much it will cost for four years of college.
Take 10 to 15 percent of your pay per month and deposit it into the college saving account per child. Make sure you make this deposit every month, then when it time for your child to start college neither you or your child will be panicking about the cost of he's education. In the short period of 10 years you would have saved around $44,000, a nice start. In another five years you'll have saved approxily, $80,000, well on your way in paying for the education you child will need for his life to be successful.
Opening a dedicated college fund, a plan 529 is your best bet. The 529 are named for the tax code on the federal tax form. The 529 are available in two varieties: college savings plan or prepaid tuition plan. The prepaid plan will allow you get the current tuition rate at the college of your choice now, remember under this plan you're committing your child to a certain college. The other plan is less restrictive on the choice of schools, is a general savings plan that is invested.
Looking for find scholarships for your child as he get older and closer to entering college will help you pay for his education too.

Cal has fired football coach Jeff Tedford.
Tedford resurrected the Bears upon his arrival in December 2001, but the program has slipped on numerous fronts in recent years.
"This was an extraordinarily difficult decision, one that required a thorough and thoughtful analysis of a complex set of factors," Cal athletic director Sandy Barbour said in a news release from the school. "Ultimately, I believed that we needed a change in direction to get our program back on the right track."
CBSSports.com first reported the news Tuesday morning.
The school scheduled a 3 p.m. news conference with Barbour to discuss the change.
Tedford issued a statement released by the school, part of which follows.
"I want to thank the University of California for the opportunity to be a part of this great university and community," Tedford said. "I am so grateful to all of the coaches, players and support staff for playing such a vital role in making Cal Football relevant while enjoying winning seasons nine of 11 years.
"We all can be very proud of helping to build a renovated Memorial Stadium that will have a positive impact on many athletes, fans and staff members for years to come. I will never forget the most gratifying part of these last 11 years, and that has been the relationships with the players I have had the special opportunity to watch grow academically, physically, socially and spiritually."
Tedford ended his statement by saying, "We wish the university much success — Go Bears!"
A national search for a new head coach, aided by the firm DHR International, will begin immediately, Barbour said in the statement.
The Bears lost five consecutive games to conclude a 3-9 season -- their worst under Tedford.
It's the second time in three seasons that Cal has failed to qualify for the postseason.

Sarasota named 'great waterfront to visit"
Published: Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 5:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 25, 2013 at 5:07 p.m.
This city got some national attention on Saturday, along with Baltimore, San Francisco, New York, Charleston, San Diego and Savannah.
The topic "Great waterfronts to visit across North America." The source of this latest praise for Sarasota: USA Today.
The city was listed among 10 waterfront destinations that also included Vancouver, British Columbia; Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
"Sarasota might not garner as much attention as Miami or Orlando, but this culture-rich city enjoys close proximity to 40 miles of white-sand beaches lining the barrier islands just off shore," the newspaper reported.
"In the city proper, Bayfront Park and Marina is a popular place for biking, walking, kayaking or canoeing with views of Sarasota Bay and the city's skyline," USA Today said.
Sarasota's recognition comes just a week after downtown Bradenton was named one of the South's top 10 central business districts.
Southern Business & Development magazine, which focuses on business site selection, picked small towns with the most vibrant downtown areas. It praised Bradenton as "a bustling area with an eclectic mix of arts, culture and heritage."
The magazine made special note of Bradenton's new Riverwalk and of the adjacent new Manatee Performing Arts Center. "The small-town city ... welcomes its guests with the charm of a laid-back coastal town," the magazine wrote.

State College of Florida cruises past Polk State
Published: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 8:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 8:13 p.m.
WINTER HAVEN — Robby Kalaf tossed seven solid innings and Chase Sandberg's two-run double keyed a four-run fourth inning as State College of Florida beat Polk State College 5-2 Saturday.
The Manatees (20-7, 4-0 Suncoast) used the rally to open up a lead on the Eagles (22-5, 4-3). A sacrifice fly broke a 1-1 tie before Sandberg, a former Manatee High standout, doubled home two more. An error led to the final run of the inning.
Kalaf allowed five hits and an unearned run. He walked one and struck out eight. Orlando Rivera and former Braden River High standout Dalton Busby each had two hits for SCF.
The teams meet at SCF's Robert Wynn Field on Monday at 6 p.m. and are back at PSC on Wednesday.

Golden Gopher wrestler Scott Schiller earned All American honors when he placed fifth at the NCAA National Championship Tournament last weekend.
Schiller has a connection to St. James as his grandfather Dean Schiller and his grandmother Shirely Curry (maiden name) were originally from St. James. Dean is a 1960 graduate and Shirley a 1961 graduate of St. James High School.
Scott's wrestling DNA goes back at least as far as Grandpa Dean who was a four year wrestler for the Saints.
Dean and Shirley moved away from St. James in the early 1960s and live in the Fargo, ND area at the present time.
Scott is a redshirt sophomore and wrestled at the 197 lbs. weight class for the Gophers. He was a three time North Dakota High School State Champion.
The Gophers had eight wrestlers earn All American honors at the recent national championships. The Gopher team finished in third place.

Definition of metonymy in English:
noun (plural metonymies)[mass noun]
The substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example suit for business executive, or the turf for horse racing.
Example sentences
- Another characteristic of the semantics of slang is the tendency to name things indirectly and figuratively, especially through metaphor, metonymy, and irony.
- There is a typology of rhetorical figures of speech made up of four tropes, they in turn govern the way we operate language: metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony.
- Traditional and cognitive rhetorics differ most markedly in their approach to metaphor, metonymy, and other figures.
- Example sentences
- The costume made the man so that costume became the charged metonymic signifier of an interiority, a self, that was only produced in the first place by a uniform and the required props.
- Until now, Burke has refused to let Ransom distinguish scientists from poets, for the metonymic nature of language constrains both parties.
- What's the role of convention in this area - do metonymic norms differ across languages or across genres, and does this matter?
- Example sentences
- There is a need, therefore, for animals used as farm background, similes, and metonymical suggestions.
- At this point, however, Burke recognizes that the poet has a rhetorical aptitude that compensates for metonymical reduction with rhetorical inducement.
- But people get all excited about metaphorical and metonymical changes, missing the crucial point, that in such non - head like cases, things really aren't what they once were.
- Example sentences
- Within a single discourse community, this is feasible: once people understand what the signs represent, they come to expect that a certain combination of textual gestures metonymically present an Other self on a printed page.
- The object doesn't necessarily have to be an activity, though an activity is usually implied metonymically.
- So the book itself stands, metonymically, as a potentially solid architectural edifice, like the Company store and Miss Whitlaw's Victorian house, both of which withstand the earthquake.
Mid 16th century: via Latin from Greek metōnumia, literally 'change of name'.
Words that rhyme with metonymyagronomy, astronomy, autonomy, bonhomie, Deuteronomy, economy, gastronomy, heteronomy, physiognomy, taxonomy

GRANTS PASS — Police have identified the man who allegedly killed a 5-year-old girl with an assault rifle late Thursday in Grants Pass.
Jon Andrew Meyer, Jr., a 30-year-old transient, is held in the Josephine County Jail on charges of second-degree manslaughter, third-degree assault, and unlawful possession of a machine gun, police reported in a news release. His bail is set at $50,000, jail officials said. (Correction: See below)
The shooting occurred at 9:05 p.m. Thursday in the 1000 block of NW C St., No. C.
Grants Pass Department of Public Safety officials allege Meyer fired the gun into the apartment's upper level while on the lower level. The 5-year-girl was found outside the apartment and transported to Three Rivers Medical Center, where she died from her injuries. The condition of another victim, a 44-year-old woman, is not yet known, but police reported she is stable.
The case remains under investigation.
— Ryan Pfeil
Correction: The bail amount has been corrected in this version.

LAS VEGAS -- As San Jose State wide receiver Tyler Winston experienced a breakout freshman season, he maintained a presence that was mostly in the background.
Winston, who was named the Mountain West Freshman of the Year after catching 58 passes for 858 yards and five touchdowns, never did a postgame interview. He spoke after practice a couple of times, but he mostly let other players do the talking.
It's not because he's not necessarily comfortable doing so. Winston, from Antelope in the Sacramento area, is soft, but well-spoken. But it was a specific plan by him to stay out of the limelight and let players such as seniors David Fales and Chandler Jones be the offensive spokesmen.
"I felt like they were more of the leaders of the team," Winston said. "They went through starting from the bottom, so they deserved to speak on how we performed."
Now, with veteran receivers like Jones, Noel Grigsby and Kyle Nunn having graduated, Winston is accepting his new role in the spotlight and feeling more comfortable as a team leader.
"I feel like just having a good season like I did last year, I feel more comfortable stepping into that leader role," Winston said.
Winston said work over the summer was productive and he generally got in about 30 minutes to an hour worth of throwing in daily with the quarterbacks. He had good things to say about both Blake Jurich and Joe Gray.
"They both have good arm strength, a lot of accuracy," Winston said. "I'm just excited to see who it's going to be."
Winston and Gray got a chance to get well-acquainted last year. With Winston slated to redshirt, he spent most of his work during fall camp with the third and fourth teams, the same spot Gray often got repetitions. So if Gray's the starter, the two may have an extra leg up on building a good relationship on the field.
"I think it does help because me and him worked together a lot last camp, so we started to become familiar and comfortable with each other," Winston said.

Cuomo: Gas Shortage 'Getting Better'
UPDATED | New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday that it will be a "couple of days" before the regional gas shortage is fully resolved.
Power failures and distribution issues have led to long lines at the gas pumps and flared tempers and stalled the region's efforts to get back on its feet after superstorm Sandy.
"There will be more of a supply of gasoline and more of a distribution," the governor said at a Midtown news conference, joined by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer . "That does not mean there will be a total alleviation of the problem in the immediate future, but it is getting better."
He said there are continuing issues with delivery and distribution but didn't detail them. "We're not 100% sure when the system will [fully] up and running," the governor said, adding that the shortage was being exacerbated by car owners' panicking and hoarding fuel.

The signs of the lingering disruption to the supply network could be seen at a gas station on Hylan Boulevard near Midland Avenue in Staten Island, where dozens of people lined a sidewalk Sunday afternoon carrying small tanks that might be used to replenish generators and cars. A few in the crowd expressed anger at New York officials for not freeing up enough gas while others argued with neighbors about who had arrived first.
By in large, however, the atmosphere remained civil. "I come out here three or four hours every day to get gas for my generator and our cars," said Sabrina Basso, 40. "We're all in the same boat."
In front of her, Natasha Lizunova was in line for the second time that day. She had waited two hours earlier in the morning and now wanted another fill-up.
"We don't know when the power is coming back, so we need to fill up our generators," she said.
A couple blocks away, dozens of cars lined up at another station as a tanker refilled pumps. Police had blocked an entire lane with cones for those waiting.
In Brooklyn's Crown Heights section, a BP station on Bedford Avenue saw three-hour-long lines for gas that stretched more than a mile, between Eastern Parkway and Atlantic Avenue, for a second straight day.
The station received a shipment on Saturday, ran out of gas in the afternoon and reopened at 5 a.m. Sunday morning after a second shipment arrived. Lines formed almost immediately. Customers were allowed to buy $40 worth of gas in cash.
Police officers had set up a three-tier system for gas, a shorter line for first responders that snaked up a side street, a line for people with cans who were allotted a single pump, and a third along the avenue that snarled traffic on a major thoroughfare.
Gene Cenatos, 55, of Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood, began looking for gas at 5 a.m. and eventually stopped at three gas stations, including one that he said ran out of fuel just as he had reached the front of the line. He was resigned to having to wait, just as long he could fill his empty tank.
"The time doesn't matter as long as I find the gas," he said after finally making his purchase. "I have been looking for gas since Thursday. I couldn't work."
Rob Meynard, 24, arrived three days ago from Miami to see family and found his SUV running on fumes by Sunday. He joined the line near Atlantic Avenue shorty after 7 a.m.
"It's crazy," he said. "It's outrageous. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do."
Belloc Fletcher, 47, chose to avoid the long lines last week and spent much of the weekend walking or taking the bus. But he had to come out Sunday so he could return to his construction job on Monday.
"The line was too long so we didn't bother to come out, but I need gas for work," he said. He, too, had already been to three stations since morning.
The Department of Defense is sending gasoline to 120 gas stations in the New York area by this evening, said Sen. Schumer at Sunday's briefing. Still, he acknowledged that problems would remain.
"It's not going to be solved in a day, but it should get better and better and better," the senator said of the gas shortage. "We know what a disaster this is."

Playwright George Bernard Shaw warned us, "Power does not corrupt men; fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power." It's a forecast of coming attractions should Mitt Romney steal the Seal next Tuesday.
So here's the deal: Mitt Romney's a phony. While Hurricane Sandy's damage proliferated this week, his campaign rally disguised as a "storm relief event" encapsulates the façade. He inherited wealth. He is a man with no core, no principles, no understanding of ordinary citizens' plights, no concrete proposals to fix the country's problems. He respects few besides his super-wealthy cronies. He disrespects journalists. He exudes disdain for women. His disrespect for the President of the United States cascaded with condescension during their first debate. He disrespects the American people's intelligence by misstating his own record and comments, even within hours of having made them, and expects you to buy into his falsehoods.
His campaign has been defined by platitudes and lies, acknowledged by his pollster who said that they would not be deterred by fact-checkers. It's false that President Barack Obama has mismanaged the economy; it's been slowly recovering for years despite Republicans blocking every major jobs and other economic proposals presented by the president to a do-nothing Congress.
Romney's latest lie is his Oct. 25 statement to an Ohio rally that Jeep was thinking of moving all production to China. Despite being immediately refuted by the Chrysler Corporation, the message is continuing in radio and television ads.
So here's a peek into life under a Romney/Ryan administration, telegraphed by campaign pronouncements and practices and Mitt's reign as Massachusetts governor.
Medicare will be replaced by a voucher system that will substantially increase health care costs for seniors.
Secrecy will be widespread, covering issues positions and policies similar to his secrecy during the campaign. Romney has been so secretive that he refused to take questions from any reporter during the past three weeks.
Voting rights will be curtailed over time in a drive for a one-party state, the Republican/Tea Party variety. Republican-promulgated voter suppression laws and voter intimidation projects in the key battleground states have been one of this year's big stories.
Government regulation will increase, not decrease, into private matters such as abortion, contraception and other health issues. The permanency of these changes will be ordained by the appointment of more radically activist justices to the Supreme Court, pushing a 5-4 conservative majority even further to the right and assuring the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Mitt Romney may have aggressively debated Barack Obama but he has been meek elsewhere. He declined to challenge Richard Mourdock when the extreme right-wing Indiana Senate candidate claimed that a rape victim's pregnancy was God's will. He's cowered before Rush Limbaugh.
Shannon O'Brien, his opponent in the 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial race, discounts Romney's promise to work with Democrats. "You can look at how he governed," she said. "He vetoed 800 pieces of legislation ... like the minimum wage or ... access to contraceptive rights ... Sometimes they were petty ... (like) a special bill that would have helped a disabled cop; vetoing money that would have paid for kosher meals for elderly people in nursing homes ... I think something like 750 vetoes were overridden by the Democratic legislature. That doesn't sound like a guy who was playing ball with people on the other side."
During the last few days we've witnessed genuine bipartisan leadership as President Obama, joined by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, illustrated hands-on involvement with the start of clean-up operations in Hurricane Sandy's wake. It is community organizing at the state and national level.
This brings us back to George Bernard Shaw.
Romney's repeated commitments to undo programs that have built this country over several generations and his comments to wealthy donors in a private meeting that he's not concerned about 47 percent of Americans demonstrate clearly that these fools will corrupt the power they'd inherit following a victory next Tuesday.
Martin Sheen, who played President Bartlet in the Emmy-winning series "West Wing," recently said: "Mr. Romney really showed ... how stupid he is and arrogant. There's an old phrase, arrogance is ignorance matured, and that's what we saw ... He's never had to compete for a job or face eviction or struggle to get a college loan. He's a guy that the old phrase applies to: 'he was born on third base and thought he hit a triple.'"
Next Tuesday we'll learn whether all Mitt's resources have enabled him to steal home or whether he'll be tagged out at the plate.

Silicon Valley Pioneer Kurtzig's New Venture: 'Her Timing Is Perfect'
Last August, Sandra Kurtzig–one of Silicon Valley's first female chief executives and the first one to take a technology company public–emerged from retirement with $10.5 million in funding and a new start-up: Kenandy, a company based in Redwood City, Calif., whose software is designed to manage manufacturing processes from the cloud.
Less than nine months later, she's expanding, VentureWire has learned, adding financials and order management to Kenandy's core software, changing the software's name to Social ERP (for Enterprise Resource Planning) and targeting customers that make products.
In the process, she's pitted Kenandy against both software giants like SAP and older manufacturing software companies like QAD, all of which are racing to redesign their software for the cloud. Also among her competitors is software from her previous company, ASK Computer Systems, which she took public in 1981 and sold to CA, then known as Computer Associates International, in 1994.
"I think her timing is perfect," said Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers Investment Partner Ray Lane, who led Kenandy's funding round and sits on the start-up's board. "Three years ago you would have had to evangelize the cloud, but…in the next five years, you'll see a major movement into cloud computing. For an app user who doesn't care about what computer (the app) sits on and wants to place an order and track it, the cloud is perfect."
Kurtzig said she decided to expand the software herself rather than integrating it into a third-party accounting package, which was her original plan, at the request of her customers, who said they needed the extra features but wanted all the software to come from Kenandy.
Lane said he told her to do it when he funded the company. "Every company that comes in here, we find something they need to be doing and that was one of the big ones," he said. "I think ultimately you have to provide financials because they're tied so closely to production systems and order entry and manufacturing planning and supply chain–it all comes back to financials."
In any case, there's been little innovation in enterprise resource planning software until recently. Software from ASK, which Kurtzig launched in 1972, is still the third-largest manufacturing package in revenue, she said.
One of Kenandy's customers, Persnickety Clothing, a maker of children's clothes, was using a manufacturing software system based on DOS, the operating system that predated Microsoft Windows, which launched in 1985. Making a change on an existing customer order took 12 steps, said Persnickety Chief Executive Craig Rickenbach.
Because Kenandy's software is designed for the cloud, it confers advantages for customers that older software does not. Data can be analyzed much faster, in minutes versus hours, Kurtzig said, and users can design their own profiles, so that a chief financial officer, for instance, can have a dashboard reflecting financials that he or she needs to see.
Also, since Kenandy is built on Salesforce.com's Force.com platform (Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is an investor), customers can take advantage of the social aspects of Salesforce, using Chatter to communicate quickly with other companies in their supply chain.
"Facebook is a very interesting company, but I think the whole concept of social is even more powerful in business," she said.
Gartner analyst Donald Feinberg, who followed Kurtzig's career when she was at ASK, said that with Kenandy she has another chance to build a big company.
"Assuming she's successful…she becomes a target for companies like Oracle and SAP to buy (Kenandy) to modernize their manufacturing systems quicker than they could do themselves," he said. "Either she's really successful or she sells it to the one of the big guys and can retire again."

Don't cry for Apple (AAPL). Even though the Cupertino icon saw its stock price plummet last year from more than $700 a share to $532 on New Year's Eve, there's still plenty of cause for celebration at One Infinite Loop.
Even though its market cap fell by 26 percent in 2012, Apple still rules the roost of both the consumer tech sector and the overall SV 150, thanks to its yearly sales of nearly $165 billion and profits of almost $42 billion, up nearly 27 percent from 2011.
Despite growing competition from rivals like Samsung and Google (GOOG), Apple enjoyed phenomenal sales of its iPhone 5, its fourth-generation iPad, and the new iPad mini, contributing to a profit margin of 25 percent, whisker-close to the 26 percent a year earlier.
Among the 10 companies in the consumer tech group, Apple remains in a league of its own, with a mind-boggling $415.6-billion market cap that's larger than all the other companies' values combined. And while eBay (EBAY) made impressive sales gains to jump from 7th to second place on the list, Apple's profits still constituted the lion's share of the sector's overall income of just over $47 billion.
Ranked by sales, Apple kept the top spot in the SV 150 for the second year in a row, leaving second-place Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) in the dust with its $118 billion in annual sales. And underscoring the importance of the sector -- and Apple in particular -- to the Bay Area's economy, consumer tech's $196 billion sales figure represented 29 percent of the sales of all 150 companies on the list.

Still, says analyst Joel Achramowicz with Merriman Capital, Apple's dazzling performance last year was in many ways a legacy of co-founder Steve Jobs.
"I'm waiting for Tim Cook to put his individual stamp on the direction of the company, which we haven't seen yet,'' says Achramowicz. "If he does come out with some exciting new products then he will have done an amazing job of putting his own stamp on Apple. That's a daunting task, but he has to do it.''

OAKLAND — Considering that Justin Verlander beat the A's twice in the American League Division Series last year, it came as something of a surprise to some that Max Scherzer got the call in Game 1 Friday, even though Scherzer was the AL's only 20-game winner.
Former Cy Young Award winner Verlander wasn't one of those surprised. Verlander, who pitches Saturday in Game 2 of the 2013 ALDS against the A's Sonny Gray, went 13-12 this season after having averaged 20 wins the previous four seasons.
``Max is the best pitcher in the American League,'' Verlander said. ``The only reason this is being brought up is what I've done over the last couple of years. Max is without a doubt the best pitcher in the American League, and he absolutely earned this.
``It doesn't matter, especially with the rotation (the Tigers have). I mean it does, but it doesn't. You know what I'm trying to say. The four guys we're throwing out there are four of the best pitchers in the league, and they were all year.''
As for himself, Verlander said he struggled much of the season but thinks he may be hitting stride just in the last few weeks.
``I would fix something, and that would cause a kink in the chain. And I would fix that. It was a matter of getting myself to where I needed to be. It was a year-long battle; I'm not going to lie.
``This is something I worked on from early in the season until a couple of weeks ago, and I felt like the last couple of starts were where I needed to be. It's funny it took all year, but hopefully I figured it out and am peaking at the right time.''
Verlander hasn't seen much of Gray, who only has made 10 big league starts, none of them against Detroit.
``Obviously he's had a tremendous year,'' the Detroit starter said. ``He's been great for these guys. But I'm not pitching against him. I'm pitching against their lineup.''
Verlander went 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA against the A's this season. The last time they saw him, Aug. 27 in Detroit, he was touched for five runs in five innings, including a two-run homer by Brandon Moss. That's the only homer the A's hit off Verlander in two meetings this year, and the current group of A's have only gone deep against him three times, once each by Coco Crisp, Seth Smith and Moss.
