Student Spotlight: Victoria (Vick) Pineiro
Student Spotlight: Victoria (Vick) Pineiro
MSW candidate, Graduation expected May 2014
Where Vick grew up:
I was extremely lucky to have grown up all over the world. I was in born in Argentina and raised in New Zealand. I spent my time chasing sheep and sailboats in NZ and sweltering in the Buenos Aires heat drinking 'mate' with my grandparents in the summer. I moved to Utah, US with my mother and stepfather when I was 15 and spent my subsequent summers with my father who lived in Belize. My stepfather taught me how to ride powder waves in the winter and get lost on the trails in the Uinta mountains in the spring. My father opened up the world of SCUBA, jungle adventures and Mayan ruins in the soup like heat of Central America. As an adult I traded it for tartan, rain and whiskey in Scotland, returning to the US about three years ago.
Undergraduate Institution:
I went to the University of Utah for my undergraduate degree where I graduated with a degree in psychology. I was highly involved in student government, various campus organizations and greek life. My undergrad was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I met some of the most inspiring, incredible people and I have the good fortune to still count many as my close personal friends. My psych degree and community service feeds directly into my Master's program. Social Work is heavily rooted in community, understanding and celebrating differences, as well as empowering each individual. All of these things I developed and laid the foundation for in my undergrad.
Vick's life pre-BC:
I have worked in various places, the most relevant to my current degree is working for Felony Drug Court in Utah and in Scottish Parliament doing policy work in the UK. I also was the Director of Student Advocacy at the University of Utah as an undergrad. I have been very lucky to have been given many wonderful opportunities that have allowed me to sample multiple aspects of community service and social work areas.
What led Vick to Boston College:
I first heard about Boston College from one of my close friends that wanted to study here for her Masters. I ended up coming to Boston with her to visit BC and I fell in love. The campus is gorgeous, the academic reputation is outstanding and the size/feel of the community was what I was looking for.
Vick's experience at BC:
I have not had much of an experience so far, as I am entering my first year. However what I have experienced has been tremendous. Everyone is so welcoming, helpful and really pleasant. I am looking forward to being part of this community not only as a student but also an alum.
Vick's current projects:
I am in the incoming Director of Advocacy and Outreach.
Vick's Hobbies:
I used to play roller derby in Utah, which I would really like to continue here if time permits (any roller girls out there that want to get in touch?) I also love to hike, camp and cook.
Post-graduation plans:
I think like almost everyone else, I want to get a job that I love in my field of study.
Parting words/advice to those interested in pursuing a similar career path:
I am still at the beginning of my path so I'm not a wealth of information yet. However I would say that getting involved is the best thing you can do for yourself and community. Pick a passion and run with it.
Vick wants you to know:
I am approachable, enjoy meeting new people and really want to hear what you have to say. Please say hi to me on campus and if there is anything the GSA can do for you please come see me.

Lost Lullaby Leaguer LbNA # 60461

This little lullaby leaguer has ventured away from the comforts of Munchkinland. After bidding Glenda farewell, she meandered eastward for some time, enjoying the sounds of the water and wildlife all around her. Hildred lost track of time and found herself far from home, and it was almost dark! Up ahead was a sign that read: Bridge 13 19 mi. - Oh no, it was too far to turn back now! Instead, she ran through the scary tunnel and decided it was best to settle down into a safe place and wait for help to arrive. Surely, Glenda or maybe the wizard would come to her rescue. Just ahead up on the right, Hildred spied the biggest tree she'd ever seen. The trunk was so big around! She nestled down near this giant in a little concrete "bunker" and waited for someone to come for her.
The SZS Rocks family successfully completed the entire Wizard of Oz series, and then they decided to add one more box to our collection.
In their own words, the story behind this letterbox:
"On September 19, 1906, in Dassel, Minnesota, a baby girl was born to John and Cecelia Olson. They named her Hildred. Hildred and her older sister, Olga, were midgets. When Hildred was older, she joined a traveling troupe of midget performers. From this experience, she auditioned for a part in an upcoming film, the 1939 production of "The Wizard of Oz." She was offered and accepted the part of a member of the Lullaby League. Although she was 32 at the time of filming, she was one of the smallest Munchkinettes. Hildred is clearly visible in the movie. The star of the movie, Judy Garland, was from Minnesota, too. Hildred and Judy became friends due to this common bond. Hildred stayed in show business throughout her life. She never married and died in 1958 at the age of 52.
Why did we choose to dedicate this box to Hildred C. Olson? Hildred is Steve's (Mr. of SZSRocks) great-aunt and she is our favorite Ozite! Steve carved this image of his great-aunt, Hildred, in the costume she wore in the 1939 movie, "The Wizard of Oz". We hope you enjoy meeting Hildred!"

Army to test world's first combat laser
News Staff Writer
HUNTSVILLE The Army will soon try to zap and destroy a small rocket in Star Wars fashion with what could become the world's first combat laser system.
Success of the Tactical High Energy Laser prototype could revolutionize the way battles are fought, says the man who heads up the program for the Army.
In the test, a laser will try to destroy a Katyusha rocket as it streaks at hundreds of miles an hour over the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. That will take place in the next six to eight weeks, said Gerald Wilson, manager of the program at the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command in Huntsville."The single rocket shootdown is the most critical because it will once and for all show that we've been able to design and develop ... a bona fide high-powered laser system," Wilson said.
The laser is a joint project between the United States and Israel, which wants to use the system to defend its northern borders against the 122mm Katyusha rockets fired by Hezbollah guerrillas based in southern Lebanon.
About a dozen people work — most of them part time — on the project in Huntsville. That includes some local contractors that provide engineering support for the Army.
THEL is a chemical laser system that includes command, control, communications and intelligence systems, radar and a laser pointer/tracker. It produces laser beams by mixing chemicals to produce intense heat and light. The system funnels off the heat and captures the light to beam it toward a target.
The beam must stay on the target for a short time — exactly how long is classified information — to destroy it, Wilson said.
"What we do is put somewhere close to 10,000 times the surface temperature of the sun on these particular rockets or targets, and not too many substances known by mankind can withstand that," he said.
The laser system consists of a half dozen cargo-like trailers of various sizes that can be transported by ship, airplane, or tractor trailer rigs. The laser-beam director, which resembles a squatty telescope atop an 8-foot cube, can swivel to track its targets.
THEL is designed to shoot for up to 60 shots without reloading, according to a publication from prime contractor TRW Inc., which built the prototype in California.
Because of its ability to fire multiple shots, the Army hopes to get the cost per shot at a relatively inexpensive $3,000 or under, Wilson said. That compares to tens of thousands of dollars to fire just one missile, he said.
For close-in fighting
THEL is being developed primarily for close-in fighting where there is little or no warning that a small rocket or artillery shell has been fired at troops. It allows speed-of-light — 186,000 miles per second — interception of an enemy rocket or artillery mortar. And the beam can be moved around until it hits its target.
Wilson said the system offers a chance to protect troops in situations where for years their only defense "was basically jumping in the fox hole and start praying."
If the test is successful, it will be followed by other tests against multiple rockets fired from various angles and ranges, Wilson said. If those tests are successful, the system will be shipped to Israel in September for further testing, he said.
Neither the United States nor Israel has committed to buying THEL systems.
The Pentagon has not requested any funding for THEL in its 2001 budget, according to a story last week in Jane's Defense Weekly. But that story quoted unnamed sources as saying they hope to persuade Congress to allocate funding for the joint U.S.-Israel program should the tests succeed.
The Air Force already is developing a laser mounted on an airplane that can shoot down missiles. And the Ballistic Missile Defense Command is working on a space-based laser that can shoot down enemy missiles soon after they are launched.
Huntsville is on a short list to land a facility that would integrate and test the more than $2 billion-space based program.
THEL won't end the need for defensive missiles because lasers have their limitations, Wilson said. Although he would not discuss what those limitations are, he said poor weather is one thing that hampers lasers.
The military has been working on laser technology for more than 20 years with a large high-energy laser it built in New Mexico. The Army used that laser to shoot down a short-range rocket in February 1996.
Based on the success of that joint project between the United States and Israel, the two nations signed the agreement in 1996 to develop the mobile THEL prototype.
$89 million contract
TRW was awarded an $89 million contract — two thirds from the United States and the rest from Israel — to build a system using subcontractors from both countries. TRW later was given a $42 million contract to add field testing to the prototype system.
Since then, the program has a had a series of delays and cost overruns.
The program is about a year behind schedule and has cost $250 million so far, Wilson said. Last year the United States and Israel renegotiated TRW's contract so the company pays for half the cost overruns, with the two governments splitting the other half. Once there is a successful test, TRW will begin paying 25 percent of cost overruns, with the two nations cov ering the rest.
TRW officials declined an interview for this story.
John Pike, policy analyst for the Federation of American Scientists, said he believes there may be no real use for such a laser system.
Since Israel and the United States began discussing the project some six years ago, a peace has been reached in the region and there is not much need for the program, he said. "At this point, I think it is a solution in search of a problem," he said.
But Jane's Defense Weekly said Israeli officials are eager to complete the THEL program and deploy the system in the next few months. Israel's prime minister has pledged to remove troops from southern Lebanon by July, and Israeli military commanders expect an increase in attacks on their positions.© 2000 The Birmingham News

For second language learners, the value of the explicit teaching of English grammar has never been questioned. However, in recent times there has been dissent about whether or not to teach English grammar to native speakers. From the late 1960s onwards English grammar teaching in the United Kingdom largely disappeared from the curriculum, and was replaced by teachers focusing on students learning to express themselves. This was in the main not a bad thing, because it made students active participants in their own learning, and they were expected to think critically and express themselves well. The teaching of grammar, with its emphasis on rules, drilling and learning by rote, was seen as conformist, dull and unnecessary, and this view seemed to be confirmed by research into the effectiveness of grammar teaching.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I called the company between 9 to 7 day's before the move to get a quote and give the details of the move. I spoke to a gentleman named John. He was very polite and reassuring. I was told that the movers would take my mothers bed down and put back up in her new residence and that they would bring 2 wardrobe boxes to place her clothing.
With the description of what my mother owned we were quoted a price of $366.00. The move date was for Tuesday July 1st 2012. We were told the appointment time would be any where between 2 and 4 pm and that the movers would contact us an hour before their arrival time so that either my husband or myself could get to her home before the movers arrived. I was also told that I would receive an e- mail confirmation of our move.
Funny thing I didn't recieve the confirmation until the day before the move so after reading the fine print it would be to late before the move to hire another company. I am posting the exact confirmation by copy and paste for all to read. The reason why is at the bottom they tell you if you post anything on the internet that they feel isn't factual or the feel has discrepancy they have this whole lawyer thing on there, but you the public can read it for yourselves and wonder about why it's on there in the first place, Hmmm ? Please read it in it's entirety even if it seems lengthy so you are aware of companies like this.
My husband decided to get to my mother's place before 2 pm to help her with any last minute packing as I have back problems and have my retarded brother living with us it was best I stayed home.
My husband started calling me about 3:00 pm no movers yet, than at 4:00 pm I believe he called the office at that time or the movers called us really I'm not sure because there were several calls between us and them. We were told however that they ran into some heavy rains and were behind. They were unable now to do my mother's move until 6 or 7 pm and again they would call before arriving so that my husband could meet them there. I told my husband to come back home and to bring my mom so they can at least have dinner as we were 15 miles away.
By 6:30 we still haven't heard from the movers. My husband drove back to Tampa again to wait for the movers leaving my 74 yr. old mother with me as she was already stressed and very tired. I told my husband to take down her bed and get all her clothes out of the closet as to give the movers a head start because it was getting late.
At 8:47 pm I recieved a call that they would were not going to be able to move my mother for another hour and a half. I told them well you should reschedule the mover said no it would still get done no matter how late it was. Now let's not forget my mothers bed is torn down she is 74 years old and moving into a senior community it's pitch black out and these people still needed 3 hours to move my mothers things plus drive from point a to point b.
I tried calling all 3 phone numbers listed on the web sight of course you can't get a hold of a live person to reschedule the move or have them put her up in a hotel as this was no time to move her. My mom is on social security and was paying for the move she couldn't pay for a hotel and nor could my husband and I financially help. We offered her to stay in either my bed or my brothers and felt that she couldn't impose we wanted her to stay with us but she was so upset and refused.
By 9:45 pm or later I'm really not sure the movers called and said they were on their way, my husband said oh no your not you have your boss call in the morning. He told the movers there were low tree limbs they wouldn't be able to see and that this was a senior mobile home park You can't be making all that noise and putting beds together at that time. My poor mother had to sleep on the floor that night on top of a couple of blankets with none of her diabetic dogs stuff nor any food dishes or any of her pj's, nothing it was horrible what they did to her.
The next morning we were called and told again that they would be arriving between 2 and 4 pm now it's August 1st 2012. John from the office assured my husband guaranteed they would be there, that they only had a small move before my mother so they didn't foresee any delays. I again called John to express we were not happy and he told me again there shouldn't be any problems. I expressed I wanted to file a complaint he told me let's get your moms move done first and he gave me an e-mail address to their customer service reps, which are the above 2 women I named. He stated and I quote " after your mother is moved send an e-mail with your concerns and than follow up with a phone call. That they would take care of it, that that's what those 2 women do for the company and they were good about complaint's.
Well the movers didn't arrive till 6:49 pm after screwing her the day before. Needless to say I did what John said I composed an email stating that they should have rescheduled my mother, they should have put her up in a hotel, they should return $250 back to her debit card because had we canceled on them that's what they would have charged her or at least give her a discount.
My mother was in pain all day from sleeping on the floor. I than called a couple of times these people never returned my calls. I can't believe that in the USA businesses like this are allowed to operate. Now I will copy and paste the e-mail I sent them and the e-mail they sent me back. Although I must remove the words advantage, feeble, weak as they would like to take me to court for slander lol ONLY IN AMERICA. I will let you the public be the judge please read in it's entirety should I get an attorney and sue the pants off them? Do you think we have a case? Should my mom have gotten a discount for this crap? I want to hear from you. Has anyone else dealt with this company and if so what was your experience.
I would not recommend them. They never apologized to my mom and my mom should have been the first move of that next day. The boys who actually finally moved my mom were very sweet but we couldn't take out on them what this company did to my mom. And finally the funniest thing I was told by the customer service rep was we don't guarantee appointment times, my question is than why give them? What a JOKE! Stay away from BIG BOYS MOVERS of FLORIDA they are nothing but a BIG PAIN in the you know what.

Copy of e-mail I sent:
Susan Anderson, Brittany Smith
I am writing to you on behalf of my 74 year old mother, whom diligently waited for your moving service for over 24 hours on July 1st 2012. Confirmed time was between 2 and 4 P.M. When we set the move up her bed was to be taken down and her clothes were to be placed in boxes. My husband went to Tampa 2x on the 31 st to meet with your movers. He tore down her bed and removed her clothing himself in order to give your movers a head start. We were confirmed 2 to 4 and than we were told 6 to 7 via telephone. Your movers were in route at 9:45 P.M. to the Tampa address. This was unacceptable!
We than were called in the morning 8/1/2012 and guaranteed the movers would be again arrival between 2 and 4 p.m. They arrived at 6:49 p.m. My 74 year old mother slept on the floor in her new home because we had no bed for her to sleep on due to the fact she is on Social Security she could not afford a hotel room with her 10 year old dog and I am on disability and could not afford to help her with a hotel. I have my 55 year old developmentally disabled brother living with so I had no place to put my mother to sleep.
We did not get the wardrobe boxes as stated you did not tear down the bed as stated, you didn't show up at the right time not even the right date. I am really disgusted with the way you conduct business. You should have called to reschedule and put her up in a hotel. She was extremely distraught and woke up with severe pain in her spine from arthritis and having to sleep on the floor. I believe your terms in your contract are if she canceled on you , you would have charged $250.00, we expect that you will either deduct this from her charges or completely compensate her for the entire move and the amount of gas it took my husband to drive back and fourth from Tampa to Dunedin a total of 2 x waiting for your no show movers.
I would appreciate to hear from you immediately with some type of retribution for this ridiculous attempt of conducting business. If we cannot come to some acceptable terms of restitution. You will leave me no options except to contact an attorney at your expense as we will for full compensation for this atrocity that my 74 year old rheumatoid arthritic mother went through as a result of your businesses conduct. I will also contact the better business bureau, Chamber of commerce, Federal trade commission, Florida's attorney general, www.ripoffreport.com as well as Facebook and every other social network that I see big boy movers is affiliated with so this will never happen to another senior citizen again.
Please do not put this complaint off as I no longer have tolerance for inept uncaring businesses who take advantage of the xxxx and xxxxxx. I may be reached between 11:30 am and 2 pm at the following number xxx-xxx-xxxx or xxx-xxx-xxxx you will be asking for me Carolyn xxxxxxxxx. I would also like to state the the guys who did the move were polite, careful and very professional which surprised me considering the company they worked for didn't have the decency to reschedule my mothers move.
Copy of the e-mail they answered in reply to mine:
August 2, 2012Ms. Carolyn xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx My address xxxx-a Tampa, FL xxxxx Dear Ms. xxxxxxxxx: We have reviewed your most recent correspondence to our office along with all previous written correspondence between you and our office, your contract for moving services and phone records with our office and your move crew. We are pleased that you were satisfied with the service you received as your crew performed moving services and noted that they were professional, polite and careful. It is the remaining portion of your email that I will address with the following: You requested that a $250 cancellation be refunded to your mother.
She was not charged a cancellation fee so no refund could be made. If you have records that indicate a cancellation fee was charged please forward this information to me. The move contract (signed by you and your mother in multiple locations indicating your agreement to the terms) and the confirmation email sent to you (with your IP address recorded indicating your receipt) both outline the terms that no refunds are permitted after the move service has begun. Furthermore, both of these (the contract and the confirmation email) outline that we cannot nor do we guarantee arrival time.
Due to many variables outside of our control it is standard policy to never guarantee arrival time. Upon our review of your signed move contract I have found that all terms, conditions, services provided and rate at which services were to be provided were adhered to completely by Big Boys Moving Company. It is imperative that the following be clarified so that our office can address your email in its entirety. You stated that if you do not receive a refund for moving services in addition to a reimbursement for gas expense you will utilize any social network to malign our reputation and cause harm using unfounded and inaccurate accusations/characterizations of an uncaring business that takes advantage of the weak and feeble.
Your willingness to use language such as retribution and restitution indicate that you are trying to portray that either a crime was committed or revenge is threatened. Although we value our customers opinions it is unacceptable that our hard earned reputation be maligned with inaccuracies in an attempt to gain monetary compensation. We take defamation of character, slander and libel very seriously and any inaccurate portrayals of the truth or documented threats will be forwarded to our Attorney and formal complaints will be filed.
You have agreed to and verified with your signature the following outlined in your move contract and confirmation email: You understand and agree that any internet posting/print material written by you or on your behalf naming our company, employees or move crews is to include only factual accurate information. Should any discrepancy arise regarding the factual inaccuracies of any/all internet posting/print material, you now also understand and agree to remove this material within 24 hours of our removal notification and agree that if you fail to remove the material as agreed it will be necessary for our office to initiate a lawsuit.
You understand and agree that you will be held responsible for any/all court costs, legal fees and attorney's fees in association with such a lawsuit or any lawsuit in reference to this agreement. Should further action be required please verify that you are the above named and that you reside in Pinellas County at the same address as your mother and not the address in Hillsborough County address for legal filings.

She again sent the same info from the bottom of the confirmation so I did not re copy and paste that again.
The woman didn't even understand what I was saying about how they charge $250 if we canceled, she assumed I was saying they charged my mother that. Goes to show the lack of education. I would love to hear from the public. Thanks to all who have read and listened to my mothers grief. What should have been a happy time of moving to a new place, became a stressful painful ordeal.

Huggies Baby dry diapers 1-2
I recently recieved a box of Huggies diapers as a gift for my new baby. It is a 228 diaper box of size 1-2.
It clearly stated on the box that these diapers should fit a child upto 15 lb. My baby is 12lb, and on the smaller side.
I have only used 4-5 diapers from this huge box, and each time have found the diapers to be too small, they are difficult to put on my baby, too snug on her and feel small. The worse part is, they leak. Everytime she poops, it comes out the top at the back of the diaper, soiling all her clothes and bedding. I used a diaper from a differnt brand, and a no-name brand, made for babies upto 15 or 17lb, and these diapers both held her poop in.
I am wondering if Huggies is aware of the confusing message they are giving new moms. In any case, my recommendation is that if you are buying huggies diapers, buy larger sizes than printed on the box.

Help me choose a graphics card :)
Posted 22 August 2012 - 06:35 PM
The cards im looking at are:
Sapphire RADEON HD 7950 OC Graphics card - 3 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM
Sapphire RADEON HD 7870 GHz Edition Graphics card - 2 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM
Sapphire RADEON HD 7850 Graphics card - 2 GB - GDDR5 SDRAM
Asus nVIDIA SLI GeForce GTX 570 DirectCu II Graphics Card 1.28GB
I currently have at the moment:
CPU - Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz Dual Core
Power Supply - 600W
Now I know some are better than others, but like I said, im not a massive PC gamer, so im rarely buying all the latest games, I just need one suitable for the latest games available.
Which is the best card for the job in your opinion, keepind in mind performance, price etc...?
Im tempted with the HD7950, but its quite pricey.
Thanks guys!
(If you need anymore specs just say)
Posted 22 August 2012 - 06:56 PM
It's a fairly good card. In the last stress test it could play this game with everything turned up max smoothly, only dropping FPS (15 is the lowest I seen) in big WvWvW fights.
Don't quote me on this, but I think your I5 provides better gaming performance than my amd phenom 2 x6 2.8ghz. So if I were you i'd go for the 7850 and just overclock it a little bit. If i'm right about your CPU, you should have no problems running this game with all settings maxed.
Note: I didn't have any OC on the GPU or CPU during last stress test - and my resolution is 1920x1080

If you can wait a few months when the HD 8xxx series comes it will be cheaper like the HD 6870 is now (~$130-170). You only need about a HD 6870.

Unless you are planning on a new cpu/mobo, as Life_Infusion suggested I think a 7850 would be a nice price/performance point for you.
Edited by SuperNova, 22 August 2012 - 10:20 PM.
Posted 22 August 2012 - 11:43 PM
So, instead of going for 7950, it's best if you get 7850 and a quad core cpu. Btw, the brand doesn't matter much, it does not affect performance, the only thing it does is the cooling part, which Sapphire brand does a good job with it. There is a better brand that provide better cooling though, but with my experience with my Sapphire HD7850, it is more than enough.

Dinner with some of the team at "L'Isola d'Ora", fantastic fish restaurant, huge starters and good company.
The journey back to the hotel was very 'dolce vita', small, narrow cobbled streets, full of parked cars and we swung past the Colosseum before heading out to the outskirts where I had been advised to book in.

Portrait in Georgia
by Jean Toomer
Analysis: What's Up With the Title?
"Portrait in Georgia" is just that—a portrait, in Georgia. By that, all we really mean is that Toomer is, with words, painting a picture of a person for us, and that person is probably in Georgia.
But just whom is he painting, so to speak? When we try to suss that out, well, that's where things start to get all kinds of confusing. Is the portrait of a black person, who has been lynched in Georgia? Or is it of a beautiful woman, who resembles, in frightening ways, a black person who has been lynched in Georgia? Unclear. It's like Rubin's vase or one of those optical illusions in which you can't tell if you're looking and an old lady or a beautiful maiden.
If we're looking for the scoop on what's really going down, the title's not going to take us very far. But it does clue us in on how this poem's shenanigans are going to go down—in a series of images. In fact, the entire poem is really just one image—of a woman, being described in terms that might describe a lynching victim—with more and more details added as we move through the lines. We really are looking at a portrait, in words.

Are you kidding me? We have just reached a new level of cuteness. Animals doing cute things always grab our attention. Look at this video of a dog and a puppy going on a journey in a shopping cart.
Michael Phelps, eat your heart out.
AC/DC is an awesome band. They've stood the test of time, and you can't help but start rocking out as soon as one of their songs comes on the radio. "Thunderstruck" is one of my all time favorites by them, and now it's been made even more awesome. A street performer has learned to play the song on the bagpipes, which is pretty cool on its own. But, the best part is that these particular bagpipes shoot flames. Check it out after the jump!
What happens when two new releases that look like sure-things smash into the unstoppable wall that is a Pixar movie? Well, you get one second place hit and one severe disappointment. 'The Heat' still looks good next to the continued success of 'Monsters University,' but it made 'White House Down' stumbling at the starting line look all the more horrible.
Grand Rapids makes it on a lot of "best of" lists. While we're not near the top on this one, it's still a pretty impressive ranking considering the number of cities and areas they surveyed...
You know what they say: Never say never. We want to give you the real-life chance to see the biggest pop star in America. Justin Bieber is playing in the nation's capital on August 3, and we want to send you there.
I love all boybands equally. Okay, I can't really say that. I prefer the New Kids over the rest of them, but only because they were my first boyband loves. I don't love them so much more than the Backstreet Boys that I would beat up a BSB member's little brother on the street over it, though. But, that's exactly what happened in Boston over the weekend.
I have seen some bathroom attendants at many fancy eateries and hotels, but not any place as fancy as where these guys try to pull some pranks.
The annual "Kids Count" survey shows that the number of Michigan children living in poverty is rising.
This little statue has people freaking out! This Egyptian statue has been spinning in it's locked case and people are wondering if it's something supernatural or can be explained by science.
Ugly has never been so beautiful.

NOTE: Do not replace the timing belt if it has oil on it from the auto tensioner. Residual oil from the tensioner does not affect timing belt performance. 1. Follow steps 1 thru 12 of Timing Belt Removal in the engine mechanical section of the appropriate shop manual. 2. Secure the timing belt to both cam pulleys using plastic wire ties. This helps to keep the timing belt in place while you replace the auto-tensioner. WIRE TIES 3. Remove the timing belt auto-tensioner. 4. Install the new auto-tensioner. Refer to the engine mechanical section of the appropriate shop manual. 5. Remove the pin from the auto-tensioner, and remove the wire ties from the cam pulleys. 6. Replace the dipstick tube O-ring. 7. Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal. Tighten all nuts and bolts to the specifications shown in the appropriate shop manual. NOTE: Overtightening the power steering belt would cause the power steering pulley to fail, so make sure you set the belt tension to the used belt specification. Refer to the steering section of the appropriate shop manual. 8. Center-punch a completion mark above the fourth character of the engine compartment VIN.

Officers said they were called to the store about 7:30 p.m. after hearing reports that someone was stabbed inside the store.
Investigators initially said the person was attacked during a dispute that started outside the store. They later said that it appears that the victim cut himself with a sharp object.
Police said the victim suffered serious injuries but was expected to survive.

The View from Saturday
by E. L. Konigsburg
The View from Saturday Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Why do you think Mrs. Olinski really chose these four students to be on her team? Does the book give a satisfying answer to this question?
- What is the hardest question asked in the book? Would each of the characters give a different answer?
- Since each character sees all the others from his/her own perspective, how do we know which perspective is the "real" one? In other words, how do we know who each person really is?
- The book gives an explanation for how each character knows the answer to his or her question. Does there seem to be a reason why each character is tied to a particular question?
- Are The Souls all separate characters, or do they all function as different aspects of the same character? In other words, is "The Souls" a more important character than each of the individual Souls?
- Why are New York and Florida the two most important places in the book? Does there seem to be a reason?
- Why is the competition an academic competition and not an athletic competition? How does the focus on academics change up the familiar story of a triumphant underdog team?
- How believable is this story supposed to be? It seems incredible that a sixth-grade team could win the state competition, and the characters themselves seem a little unbelievable. Does it matter? Does not believing in the reality of the story change your feelings toward it?

Functions, Graphs, and Limits
Finding Vertical Asymptotes
Vertical asymptotes most frequently show up in rational functions. When a rational function, f(x), has a non-zero constant in the numerator and an expression with a variable in the denominator, the function f(x) will have vertical asymptotes at all values of x that make the denominator 0. If the denominator has no roots, then f(x) will have no vertical asymptotes.This works for the same reason that 1⁄x has a vertical asymptote at zero: the numerator is a non-zero constant and the denominator is getting smaller and smaller, therefore the fraction will get bigger and bigger.
If we use a different constant, the principle is still the same.
If a rational function has something besides a non-zero constant in the numerator, we may need to be creative: factor the numerator and denominator, cancel and common factors, and find the roots of whatever polynomial remains in the denominator after factoring.
Be Careful: Remember to simplify the rational functions.

So awhile back, I decided that I wanted to dip my toes into the pool of siliconed products and you never heard back about it because my first attempt was awful. Absolutely awful. My hair was SO dry, crispy, and frizzy that after a week I high-tailed it right back to the all-natural goodness I keep around for naturally curly hair.
Then in preparation for Texture on the Runway, I spent a good deal of time talking with Anthony Dickey of Hair Rules and his team about not only about their vision for the show, but also about their products. I had initially stayed away from this product line purely because of the 'cones, but as I said in my original Adventures in Silicones post, I DO believe that with the cleansing and conditioning regimen, silicones aren't the worst things imaginable for natural hair. I think that by biggest mistake in my initial silicone trials was that I used products not geared towards tightly coiled hair, but after chatting so much with Dickey, I decided that if a man who has dedicated his life to the world of curl can get behind 'cones, well I just had to see what he was brewing up!
So I checked out a couple Hair Rules products just to see, the first being the gel-cream styler called Curly Whip that I received a little sample of and the second being the creamier Kinky Curling Cream I received in my CurlBox. I was pleasantly surprised by both products, not because they worked well, but because I've found that neither have caused any issues with dryness or build up –IF used with a good clarifying cleanser and conditioner.
I will say that I am more a fan of the Curly Whip because of the awesome gel-induced clumping and my finely textured coils can get with the product. The final results are awesome definition without any crunch plus movement and softness! I'm digging it! While in Chicago last week, I actually pulled Dickey aside to ask him about the presence of 'cones in his products in face of so much anti-cone speak out there. His response? It's all about performance. Meaning that his products are formulated to to deliver the best results for curly hair, and the best results in this case also mean maintaining the moisture levels and condition. Makes sense to me!
Here's what I've been digging in the line:
And the finished look using these two products for a wash'n'go:
Now, after my first trial of using Hair Rules back in NYC, I posted the following pic to my NaturalSelection Facebook page and someone asked me to do a video because they were having some problems getting the products to work. It's been a hot minute since I've done a vid, so I thought this would be a great one to jump back into vlogging with! Be warned theres a lot goin on in this vid from my plastic bag to a little bit of shimmying, but what the hey– IT'S FRIDAY!!! Enjoy and happy weekend y'all!
What do you think about silicones being used for "performance"? Do they work for you?

Reviewed By Dung D (HOUSTON, TX) Reviewed for a 2016 Toyota Tundra —8/25/2016 10:00 PM
I had weathertech floor mats before and after reading reviews on the Husky floor liners I decided to give them a try. I am very glad I did! I own a Toyota Tundra Crewmax and I ordered the Husky X-act fit floor mats with the extended coverage for the rear mats and very happy I did! The material is different from weathertech in the suppleness of the rubber. It feels better on your feet and the passenger side mats does not slip because the tab that is included on the install. Overall quality A+!

Germany Is Exporting Its Grandmas
Merkel's government helps defray costs in a Polish nursing home
Sonja Miskulin has forgotten Pooki, her beloved cat. She can't remember whether she has grandchildren and has no recollection of the nine-hour journey that separated her from her German home forever. Suffering from dementia, the wheelchair-bound former translator just celebrated her 94th birthday in a Polish nursing home. Her daughter sent her there in a bid for a better life and more affordable care.
Miskulin has joined the vanguard of a controversial movement: emigrant nursing home residents. The so-called grandma export trend has hands wringing in Germany; Munich's leading newspaper denounced it as "gerontologic colonialism" and compared it to exporting trash. Yet more and more families say it's their best option to provide a dignified old age for their parents—and save money—given the lack of affordable care at home. One in five Germans would now consider going abroad for a nursing home, according to a March survey by TNS Emnid, a German pollster.
The Poland-bound seniors are an early warning sign of a challenge of global proportions. As birthrates drop, life expectancies increase, and the Baby Boom generation heads into old age, the United Nations estimates the world's population of people older than 60 will more than triple to almost 2 billion by 2050. Meanwhile, even for seniors cushioned by government aid in such countries as Germany, the cost of nursing home care is becoming prohibitive. German spending on long-term care for seniors is expected to increase from 1.4 percent of gross domestic product to 3.3 percent by 2060, the European Commission said in a report last year.
Miskulin's new home is in a picturesque ski resort called Szklarska Poreba, which roughly translates to "glassmaking clearing," named for the many glassworks that once defined the area. Her daughter, Ilona von Haldenwang, chose the nursing home unseen after studying its website and meeting with a placement broker. What began as an act of desperation—exporting her own mother—quickly began to make sense.
For four years, von Haldenwang watched with increasing despair as her mother's health deteriorated in what she says was a poorly run German facility, even as it strained the women's finances. Now, for about a third of the price, Sonja lives in a restored century-old luxury villa where she enjoys fine meals, around-the-clock nursing, and extensive physical therapy.
The trade-off for both mother and daughter is the 350 miles between them. The two used to live a two-minute walk apart. Von Haldenwang recalls the friend who helped move her mother protesting in disbelief as they climbed into the fir-covered Karkonosze Mountains on Poland's border with the Czech Republic. " 'Oh God, oh God, where are we going? It's the end of the earth,' " she remembers her friend saying. "Then we drove up the hill and she said, 'Oh! It's a palace!' And I said, 'See, I told you, everything will be good.' "
The facility's owners say half the residents will soon be Germans, who have state-mandated long-term care insurance through a nearly 20-year-old program, a benefit out of the reach of most people outside Europe, including in the U.S.
The insurance pays €1,550 a month ($2,060) to German citizens who, like Miskulin, need the highest level of care. That's less than half of the €3,250 average monthly bill for such care inside Germany. Nursing homes in Poland are marketing services that in some cases may be similar or better for about €1,200 per month, thanks to lower labor costs. The German government will pay as much as €700 toward nursing care outside the country. Though less than half the amount provided for in-country homes, it's enough, together with most retirees' pensions, to pay for monthly care costs—with cash to spare.
The arithmetic is compelling for older Germans and their grown children. The population is expected to be among the world's oldest by 2050, on par with Japan, South Korea, and Italy, with about 15 percent of residents age 80 and older, according to an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development report.
Ingrid Fetz, 74, did the math after four back operations got her thinking about her financial vulnerability. "I worked so hard for what I have," she says. She fears her savings won't last if she has to pay for a nursing home near her 52-year-old daughter's Munich home. And she's concerned she'll eventually have to sell the apartment she'd hoped to leave her family. "It would break my heart," Fetz says. In Poland she would have money left over each month after paying for her care.
She began her search at a German-language website that promises affordable homes in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and the country that piqued her interest most of all, Poland. Like many of the German seniors searching there, Fetz has roots in the country: Her mother grew up speaking a Polish dialect in an ethnic German family near Warsaw, and Fetz spent her own childhood in what is now Poland before the end of World War II.
The lure of elderly Germans with money in the bank has caught the attention of Polish entrepreneurs and owners of resorts that have seen better days. One new facility has sought to recreate a piece of Germany within the Polish town of Zabelkow. Like Szklarska Poreba, Zabelkow is in Silesia, a region that was once part of German-speaking Europe. Ruled by the Habsburg Empire and then Prussia, it became part of Poland in 1945.
Fetz spent a week at the Zabelkow home to see if she liked it. She was impressed. Nurses speak German, the elevator announcement is in German, and the kitchen comes from a high-end German brand, Robert Bosch. Residents dine on classic German meals such as a cold supper of bread, cured meats, and cheese, while German Bundesliga soccer teams like Wolfsburg and Mönchengladbach face off on the large flat-screen television. The linens, the emergency call system, and the hospital gloves all come from Germany. Even the teaspoons are a German brand. The home quickly filled its 34 beds after an Easter opening; it's finishing six more single rooms in the attic, which are already reserved for this November, says Fabrice Gerdes, who built the home together with his Polish father-in-law.
To find a home, Miskulin's daughter, von Haldenwang, turned to a fixer. Guenter Stobrawe, a retired traveling salesman, started a placement service for Germans seeking Polish nursing homes last year with his wife, who is Polish and a former nursing home administrator in Germany, and a friend. Business has picked up in the past few months, Stobrawe says. The company has advised more than 100 families, placed eight seniors, and signed contracts for seven more to move in coming months to Poland, where it has partnerships with eight nursing homes. "Our clients aren't on welfare," Stobrawe says. "They're people who have saved something."

Data Buffet: China Deal Value Hit New High in 2011
By Sonja Cheung
Private equity deal-making in China hit record levels in 2011, forcing general partners to adjust their models to remain competitive, according to a report issued by Bain & Co.
Chinese private equity deal value hit $15.2 billion last year, up from $13.9 billion in 2010, data compiled by the Asian Venture Capital Journal and Bain show. That total has increased steadily in an 11-year period from 2000, only slowing significantly in 2008 and 2009 to reflect the fall-out from the global financial crisis. The average deal size, $88 million, was also a record, and has more than doubled since 2005. Growth capital remained the most popular type of investment.
Domestic Chinese firms continued to expand their investing, with local currency renminbi funds for the first time accounting for more activity during the year than dollar funds.
Bain said that to remain competitive, firms have been increasing their teams, especially at the local level and have been showing more flexibility in their investment approach, including sometimes making use of public investments in private equity.
Despite the impressive totals, there was a slowdown in deal-making in the second half of 2011. During the whole year there were 173 deals, compared with 193 deals in 2010, when the average deal size was $72 million, according to the report.
China-focused funds closed on $32 billion in new capital in 2011, up 39% from $23 billion the year before, with local currency funds totaling 68% of China's fund pool, the report said. It estimated that firms are attempting to raise $82 billion in new capital.
Initial public offerings remained the main way in which private equity firms exited investments, although this method may prove more challenging this year as post-listing share prices have disappointed, according to the report.

Indian IT firms worry as Canada toughens visa rules
Yes, the Indian IT firms are a worried lot following announcement of new toughened visa rules.
Tougher Canada skilled worker immigration visas—Canada's announced new skilled worker immigration visa rules have made the IT firms become increasingly concerned. As per the information available, such changes could prove dampening for Indian IT firms wishing to get service orders in Canada.
Nasscom smells changes to be disruptive—Nasscom, the IT industry body, has stated that the rules could prove deterimental for IT firms. It may be notable in this regard that urgent intervention has been sought by Nasscom. For this, emails have been forwarded to external affairs ministery.
Speaking about the new rules, R Chandrashekhar, president of Nasscom, said each year, around 15,000 Canada work visas or Canada work permits are used by Indian IT firms.
And the decision of having tougher visa norms has been quite disappointing in respect of treatment towards skilled foreign workers under ICT(Intra-company transfers).
Canada has sent shock waves among the IT industry in India after its decision to introduce tougher skilled worker visa norms.
Changes wont affect IT firms—assures Canada minister—Canada immigration minister Chris Alexander, who is on a visit to India these days, has, meanwhile, assured that all such changes will not have any limiting effect on IT firms in any manner.
A meeting was held between Nasscom and Canada immigration minister Alexander. Giving further details about the new Canada ICT(Intra Company Transfer) visa norms, Alexander said a host of Canada visa options are going to become available to IT firms for sending their staff to Canada.
As per the government of Canada, the decision to have tougher Canada ICT visa rules was in response to the concerns over the misuse of ICT facility. Indian firms, as of now, can issue Canada work visa(under ICT scheme) to personnel having specialisd knowledge.
Clarifying about the new rules, Canada immigration minister said employees not qualifying in ICT scheme can be sent to Canada by IT firms on Canada temporary work permits provided they fulfill some conditions or on Canada Permanent Resident Visas.
The only requirement in this regard for IT firms will be to make an advertisement in Canada for recruitment of workers locally and a labor market assessment will be conducted if the firm is unable to get applicants with required skills/experience.
Its in such a scenario that IT firms can make an application for Canada temporary work permit for its workers. Another option for IT workers is to make an application for Canada permanent resident visa where workers will not stay in Canada permanently.

CHARLESTON - All the issues Parkersburg South girls basketball coach Scott Stephens had with his team's effort in Friday night's Class AAA state semifinal game are just a blip on the radar now that the Patriots are one game away from defending last year's title.
Keya Bartlett scored a game-high 27 points and top-seeded Parkersburg South pulled away from a tight first half to defeat fifth-seeded Martinsburg, 51-37. The Patriots' opponent for today's 7:15 championship game will be Morgantown.
"The state championship game is where we want to be," Stephens said. "We've wanted an opportunity to defend what's ours. We have the title and we don't want anybody else to have it."

Parkersburg South's Taryn McCutcheon, center, goes for a layup between two Martinsburg defenders during their Class AAA state semifinal Friday. The Patriots won, 51-37, to face Morgantown in today's final.
While Parkersburg South improved to 25-0, Martinsburg closed out the season at 22-5. The Bulldogs received 16 points and 14 rebounds from Essence Underwood and another 14 points from Kristen Nunn. Their leading scorer from Thursday morning's quarterfinal win against South Charleston, Taylor Ferguson, was limited to five shot attempts and five total points.
Given the assignment of guarding Ferguson was McCutcheon, who mastered her role beautifully.
"Parkersburg South took us out of our sets and out of our system," said Martinsburg coach Wes Hall. "It was their intense man defense."
"It was very frustrating trying to find openings," Ferguson added. "(McCutcheon) is a very good ballplayer. She had great defense on me and it was hard for me to get open. I just didn't produce like I could have."
South established control early and built its largest lead of the first half, 18-8 at the 5:12 mark of the second quarter. Martinsburg, though, built momentum heading into the locker room by outscoring the Patriots 10-5 and trailed 23-18 at intermission.
"You keep it to minus-five going into halftime against an undefeated team with the history and tradition of Parkersburg South, we were feeling good," Hall said.
South could not have scripted a better opening to the third quarter as Bartlett made one of her five 3-pointers to push the advantage to 26-18. After a bucket from Underwood, the Patriots ripped off four straight points, including a putback by Bartlett on her own miss.
Bartlett's second trey of the quarter, both off assists from McCutcheon, closed out the period and gave South a cushion at 37-25.
"I like shooting from anywhere on the court," Bartlett said. "I love playing here (at the Charleston Civic Center) because you always have a big crowd to play in front of."
The Bartlett show took center stage once again at the start of the fourth quarter. After knocking down one bucket, the junior was fouled attempting a 3-pointer. She made all three free throws and the gap was now 17 at 42-25 with 6 minutes left in regulation.
The difference remained in double digits, and even hit a high-water mark of 18 at 48-30 with just under three minutes showing.
Producing a double-double for South was Anna Hayton with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Teammate Carlie Wilson led the way with 11 boards, while McCutcheon finished with eight points and nine assists.
"It's so new playing here at the state tournament," Hayton said. "You come from playing middle school to a bigger atmosphere. You're nervous at first then once you start playing, it all goes away."

Roger loses doubles
30.04.2010 | Tennis
Roger and Yves Allegro were defeated in their quarter finals in the doubles today. They lost 4-6, 4-6 against America's John Isner and Sam Querrey, bringing an end to Roger's appearance in Rome. He doesn't have much time to prepare, though, as the next tournament is right on the doorstep: the Estoril Open in Portugal starts coming Monday.
I love Roger. But i think Nadal will win FO this time.The ones who can take advantage on Nadal are those tall double handed backhand big hitters like DelPo, Murray, Cilic and Soderling as they can hit the over-shoulder top-spin ball of Nadal comfortably.
Roger you just concentrate on singles and you win in doubles or lose it doesn't matter and please please work hard on your singles game and you need to work very very hard to defend your crown which I know you will so best of luck
From your die heart

Ames, Ia. — Iowa State's Melvin Ejimi apologized after getting ejected for the final 4 1/2 minutes of Saturday's 80-69 victory against Oklahoma at Hilton Coliseum.
