Governors Face Challenges in Improving College-Completion Rates
Lack of money, turnover in ranks are obstacles for ambitious goals
For the United States to have any shot at reaching ambitious college-completion goals, the bulk of the work will have to be shouldered by the states.

Here's your sneak preview of Super Bowl ads
Published: Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 11:19 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 5:51 p.m.
It's time for that annual winter ritual where people gather before their TV screens to whoop and holler as they gobble down unhealthy treats.
Vote for your favorite
Television viewers hoping to take another look at advertisements running during Sunday night's game will be able to view them shortly after they air by going on line to NBC.com, Hulu.com and SuperBowl.com.
Fans can post their favorites on a blog or webpage through both the NBC.com and Hulu.com widget applications. They can vote on their favorite on Hulu, and the results will be announced on Tuesday.
Yes, it's Super Bowl time. And Sunday's NFL championship wouldn't be complete without a look at its uber-expensive advertising, which is priced at an all-time high.
On Friday, NBC, a unit of General Electric Co., said it was in talks to sell the last two of the 67 spots for the game, which have gone for between $2.4 million and $3 million per 30-second slot.
"Considering the state of the economy in the United States, we couldn't be any more thrilled," said Dick Ebersol, chairman of NBC Universal Sports & Olympics.
The Super Bowl remains the premier advertising event: It boasts a U.S. audience of 100 million, the biggest of any American telecast. It's also a marketer's dream: Viewers actually like watching the commercials.
This year, a few commercials will reflect the weak economy, but by and large, the ads aim to deliver glitz, guffaws and groans like they do every year.
There will be celebrity appearances in ads, including Conan O'Brien for Bud Light, John Turturro for Heineken USA Inc. and Jason Statham for Audi of America Inc.
Animals will figure prominently again, with Anheuser-Busch's Clydesdales expected to appear in three of seven commercials from the Budweiser brewer. One is a tearjerker about a horse that joins the circus.
Internet domain registrar The Go Daddy Group Inc., will air a somewhat risque spot, as it has done in the past. While its less-than-slick ads that the company made itself, featuring racer Danica Patrick, are bound to make viewers groan, Go Daddy doesn't care. At least Go Daddy got approved. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals got steamed because NBC rejected its ad for vegetarianism that featured half-naked women playing with vegetables.
To be sure, such tempests are part of the marketing shenanigans surrounding the game. At the very least, it drives people online to watch the banned ad.
John Gerzema, chief insights officer at Y&R, a unit of advertising giant WPP Group PLC, said keeping the brand top of mind after the Super Bowl gets advertisers the most bang for the small fortune spent to buy air time.
A 30-second Super Bowl spot is about 20 times more expensive than the average commercial time on prime time network programs this time of year, according to TNS Media.
As such, "the Super Bowl is a colossal waste of money if you can't integrate your events around it," Gerzema said. The key is to "quickly move from the TV screen to the Internet."
Anheuser-Busch gets it. It created a social media Web site at AB-extras.com that features the stories behind its Super Bowl ads with pictures, videos and interviews.
Monster Worldwide Inc., a job-search company, is linking with the NFL to hire a "Director of Fandemonium" from a base of regular fans. It has a signing bonus of $100,000 and the new hire has one year to appear in promotional events. Monster also started marketing through social networking sites and bought search engine keywords like "fandemonium" for the ad campaign. It bought two ad spots on the Super Bowl.
"At the end of the day, we want to drive traffic to the site," said Ted Gilvar, Monster's global marketing officer. "It's not just airing the spots and waiting."
Here are some Super Bowl advertising highlights.
The old reliables:
Marquee names that return year after year include Anheuser-Busch. This year, the brewer's ads will play up its American identity. That's timely given that the company was bought last year by Belgium's InBev SA for $52 billion. In a Clydesdale ad, one of the horses looks back at its ancestry. The ad with O'Brien depicts the late-night host reluctantly signing up to star in a commercial touting Bud Light in Sweden, with hilarious results.
PepsiCo Inc. is a longtime advertiser but this year it has a first for the Super Bowl. The company's SoBe Life Water division will have a 60-second commercial in 3-D, featuring its ultra-hip lizards. SoBe also is partnering with DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. to give away more than 125 million 3-D glasses for a 90-second sneak preview of "Monsters vs. Aliens," which hits theaters March 27. (Glasses are available at SoBe displays in retail stores.)
Coca-Cola Co. will put Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers in an ad touting Coke Zero called "Mean Troy," reprising a 1979 classic that starred another Steeler, "Mean" Joe Greene. The company's other spots include "Avatar," in which people morph to resemble their digital alter egos, and "Heist," in which insects steal a sleeping man's Coke.
Economy-related advertisers:
Ads from job-listings companies CareerBuilder.com and Monster, which has redesigned its Web site for the first time in more than a decade, are appropriate given the high unemployment rate. One Monster ad shows folks working in jobs for which they're not particularly suited. CareerBuilder.com's ad features a koala bear and a co-worker in a Speedo.
"We know there are a lot of people out there who are feeling anxious about the job market," said Richard Castellini, CareerBuilder's chief marketing officer, in a statement.
The Super Bowl newbies:
GE will air a 30-second ad about efficient and sustainable technologies for delivering electricity. The spot features a scarecrow and a modern adaptation of the "The Wizard of Oz" song "If I Only Had A Brain."
Denny's plans a spot called "Thugs" that makes fun of the breakfasts served at rival restaurants compared to its hefty Grand Slam.
Mars Inc.'s Pedigree pet foods unit will air an ad about pet adoption featuring some exotic pets. It's already available on YouTube.
H&R Block is returning to the Super Bowl after five years, and this time, it's got Abe Vigoda. The "Barney Miller" actor will play the character of Death along the lines that nothing is certain except death and taxes.

Definición de spindrift en inglés:
1Spray blown from the crests of waves by the wind.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- From the dark geometrical precision of its bridge, Ghyll Beck lopes downhill in long slants of water pelting spindrift spray and flooding, pure white, across the wide flat stones at the base of the waterfall.
- It's a fine day, the sun shining but the wind blowing spindrift sharp as staples.
- Its contents smelled of Scottish mildew and stone, and spindrift, and stevedore's spilt beer, and untreated crate wood, and alien scents of faraway cargo, the wafture of seas and continents.
1.1Driving snow or sand.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Sitting on the ledge, looking up at the piles of spindrift snow just waiting to pour down my collar and into my gloves, I realized that I was maybe done for the day.
- At the top there was blue sky, but wind enough to lick fine spindrift snow from the lips of waist-deep drifts.
- The rocks were encased in crusted snow and the wind was driving spindrift across the open slopes.
Early 17th century (originally Scots): variant of spoondrift, from archaic spoon 'run before wind or sea' + the noun drift.

Pardoned poultry preens at Disneyland parade
ANAHEIM, Calif. Better to be the main attraction than the main dish.
"Pumpkin" the turkey was honored as the grand marshal of Disneyland's Thanksgiving Day parade Thursday, a day after being pardoned by President George Bush at the White House.
The 45-pound tom and National Turkey Federation Chairman Paul Hill then flew first-class from Washington to Los Angeles.
After the parade, Pumpkin and his backup bird, "Pecan," moved into their winter residence next to the theme park's seasonal display of live reindeer.
The two retired turkeys will live out their days at a coop for celebrity turkeys at Disneyland's Big Thunder Ranch.

AUTHOR: Don - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 08, 2009POSTED: Monday, June 08, 2009
I have been involved in class actions before. They take a long time but if you are persistant and have a legitimate claim they always work. I know that many many folks have been ripped off by 24 hour fitness and have similiar claims. I'm presently taking offers from any firms that are interested in taking this class action. THere may be other classes in the initial stages and I would be more than willing to join with them as a joint "named plantiff". My only fear is that the ultimate result will be for 24 hour fitness to utilize chapter 11 and wipe out all of our value by reorganizing.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Works like a charm.
This saved my life!
Simple but yet functional, I like plugins like this.
But I have to say this surely needs to have max-width set else it is not responsive.
Also the statement on the wiki that he would fall back to 100% if
$content_width is not set is not true. It actually falls back to fixed 300px on top of error messages popping up witch kind of sucks.
I don't like the general idea to use
$content_width since many themes do not include it. It should just fall back use no width at all by default witch equals to
auto in CSS and that is the BS default and just fine IMO.
I maybe open up a pull request on Github with some changes I have made.
Hi I am new to wordpress and I want to use this plugin. I installed it in my wordpress site and i am putting the php code in my home.php file. How to add the images to this. In the wiki also it is not mentioned anywhere how to add images tot his carouse. can someone give me the list of steps for the same.
Great plugin- very easy to use.
Be sure to attach your files directly to the post, and if you need to manually change the width, the shortcode will also accept a
width= parameter. :)

Video: Fire Drills and Maharishi at Marchesa
There was lots of excitement — and a fire marshal — at the show's Grand Central Terminal location.
Backstage at Marchesa's show at Grand Central yesterday, makeup artists were busily painting specks of gold onto Hilary Rhoda and Carolyn Murphy when suddenly, a horde of MTA officials began herding everyone onto the runway. "It's a fire safety inspection," they explained, as wet-haired models wandered gingerly around in paper flip-flops, their toenails still drying. Once the fire marshal had treated everyone to a lecture on evacuation procedure (while Marchesa designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman stood by, smiling nervously), everyone was allowed to return to their posts.
But despite all the extracurricular preshow activities, the collection — inspired by the Beatles' trip to India with the Maharishi — finally walked beneath Grand Central's majestic chandeliers and soaring columns. See footage from the runway as well as all the additional MTA excitement in our video.

Eamonn Holmes sorry for comparing Man Utd bus attack to Hillsborough
The presenter clarified there is 'no comparison' between violent scenes at West Ham and the tragedy at Hillsborough which killed 96 football fans
The presenter clarified there is 'no comparison' between violent scenes at West Ham and the tragedy at Hillsborough which killed 96 football fans
It was, to be honest, quite a tricky moment. There I was on Sky News yesterday morning being interviewed by Eamonn Holmes about the Twitter 100 feature in yesterday's i.
Having recently jumped ship from the ITV newsroom to the BBC, among Katie Derham's many tasks over the coming months will be winning over the traditionally conservative listenership of Radio 3, where she's been handed the main afternoon slot. Derham has long been hailed the perfect girl next door many a hopeful suitor would have been happy to take home to their maternal parent – although considering the now 40-year-old mother of two has been married for over a decade, perhaps High Street Ken is beginning to show his age.
This glimpse at the home life of the Drewitt-Barlows said more about individual weirdness than gay parenting
I know that we were meant to don black armbands and fly the flags at half-mast when Dawn French and Lenny Henry went bang, but personally I was pleased. I've had beef (and how fitting is that word, considering how fat we both are!) with that bitch since way back in the day, when I refused to be in a 1994 South Bank Show. This was some sort of celebration of morbid obesity – sorry, a "personal celebration of Big Women, drawing on art, photography, fashion, film and sculpture to ask why Big Women, who were revered and celebrated throughout the history of art, are now ignored by today's culture."

Broad stood his ground after edging a ball in the second innings from Ashton Agar to slip, via the gloves of Brad Haddin, when on 37 - he went on to make an important 65 - after umpire Aleem Dar had given him not out.
The 27-year-old received strong criticism in some quarters for his decision, but insists it was not clear cut at the time.
"It was an odd one. There was no particular noise because of the noise of Haddin's gloves," said Broad, who is an Test Cricket Ambassador.
"It's a bit silly when people say it was nicked to slip because actually it was edged to the keeper's gloves and flew off the gloves to slip.
"I went down to the other end and Ian Bell was like 'what happened there, I didn't hear anything?' Agar came up to me and asked if I'd nicked it because he wasn't sure.
"So it wasn't as clear cut as everyone had thought, although I knew I'd hit it.
"Walking's an interesting one. You have a split second and sometimes when you edge it you walk out of pure frustration. You kick yourself and walk away.
"For players on the field not to have known if I nicked it proves there was confusion there."

Long Table Lunch 2016 was a major success - Thank you to all those involved.
Watch this space for Long Table Lunch 2017.
The Long Table Lunch is Breast Cancer Care WA signature fundraising event. Guests will be treated to the ultimate luncheon; a five course menu delivered by top WA chefs, with produce of the highest quality and free flowing, award winning wines.
On board to deliver a five course gourmet delight to 750 people are;
This expert team will create a culinary extravaganza that combines the freshest locally sourced ingredients with the latest in innovative cooking techniques. The day is hosted by Network 10's Narelda Jacobs and Tim Gossage, with live entertainment by The Amplifers. Alongside dozens of exclusive items available to bid on in the seated and live auctions, there are also hundreds of prizes in a series of raffles and competitions to win.
The day will celebrate the strength and resilience of those affected by breast cancer and raise much needed funds, so Breast Cancer Care WA can provide free personalised emotional, practical and financial support to everyone who needs our help.
The Celebration of Women Long Table Lunch was established by Faith Nichols of Comestibles in 2004 to commemorate the life of Pippin Bath, a prominent member of the Perth catering industry who lost her battle with breast cancer at only 37 years of age.
13 years later, it is Breast Cancer Care WA's signature fundraising event where the food is a work of art delivered by top WA chefs, the produce of the highest quality and the company second to none. It is a day to be fabulous, indulge with friends and join us in taking a moment to support those on a breast cancer journey.
The luncheon epitomises the spirit, generosity and giving of the WA community as every item; from the marquee and furniture down to the butter and teaspoons, is donated to ensure that every dollar raised goes directly to help support Western Australians with breast cancer.
Our photographer on the day, Angela Dalla Rosa, captured the moments from the day perfectly. As a gift to you, you can now view and download all the photos for free through her website HERE

I think this says it all about the issue with Silverlight and also WP7:
"tuning phone applications for optimum performance is an important task – and a challenging one!"
Why is it so hard? I don't have to sprinkle BitmapCache selectively and thoughtfully all over my HTML to make it perform in IE9. I don't have to worry about two different threads (UI and Composition), or worry about which properties I animate, or shouldn't animate.
How many poor-performing scrolling listboxes have you seen on for instance iPhone? I don't recall seeing any. Don't tell me all iPhone developers are awesome devs who just knows how to make things perform (I seriously doubt that). I mean… not even the Silverlight Toolkit guys can make a universal listbox that performs well on the phone. Then there is the ProgressBar that now has a "PerformanceProgressBar" in toolkit to address its issues. And then once again there's what this entire blogpost is about.
I pledge you to forward the following question to the Silverlight and WinPhone team: Why is performance so hard? Why are you parsing so much responsibility onto the developer?
Great updates David. Do you mind if I point your readers at a couple of WP7 performance posts that I wrote which might be of interest?
The first one re-enforces the point you make about testing on _real_ hardware by showing the relative performance of the emulator and a real phone:
The second is a DeferredLoadContentControl which displays a loading indicator before the actual content is rendered in order to improve page load times and give a more responsive experience:
Thanks David 🙂
Regards, Colin E.
I'm with Morten here and I have big problems with performances of rendering engine in Silverlight on desktop! Can't event think about phone scenario. Clearly, Silverlight (WPF) rendering engine needs lots of improvements. MS needs to take very seriously rendering problems described into detail here: jeremiahmorrill.com/…/a-critical-deep-dive-into-the-wpf-rendering-system
Morten Nielsen and Danijel,
I don't have sufficient experience with/knowledge of IE9 and iOS internals to provide a meaningful answer, but I'll definitely pass your feedback on to the appropriate folks. Thanks for sharing!
Colin E,
Nope, I don't mind if you share those links – please go right ahead! 🙂
I read both posts when you originally published them, but I'm going to read them again right now to refresh my memory.
"I don't have to sprinkle BitmapCache selectively and thoughtfully all over my HTML to make it perform in IE9"
I would love to see your example of HTML animation performing well within IE9 on a mobile device! If you are talking about the desktop, I challenge you to create an application with the same user-experience as the WP7 metro using cross-platform HTML5 + JavaScript +CSS3 – it can be done, but boy is it hard work!
Also, remember, WP7 is a mobile, it does not have the same power as your desktop. This is true of any mobile development.
You do make a valid point that it is easier to develop a smooth and fluid UI on iPhone. And you are right that Silverlight on WP7 does have a few pretty nasty performance gotchas, however iPhone is a mature, four year old platform, whereas WP7 is barely into its second quarter!
Give it a bit of time to mature – then look again.
Colin E.
Lovely, Many thanks for this. I am using the LowProfileImageLoader quite a lot here: http://bit.ly/hkTkxK
That looks *very* nice – thanks for sharing!
David, thanks for your classes and for the update specially.
We did a little modification to the LowProfileImageLoader – when we are refreshing list data (list with apps, basically), we cancel all pending downloads because we don't need the old images, we need to load new images now.
So when user changes the filter, he receives new images as soon as possible.
Colin E:
IE9 and hardware accelleration is coming to WinPhone 7 as well. Besides by comment was minded on both Silverlight 4 as well as WinPhone. Using the argument "It's the first release" doesn't really work. Remember that WinPhone is based on Silverlight 3, so I could make the argument that this is NOT a new platform (just some new hardware). The complexities that Silverlight has with respect to performance are far harder than on other platforms, so it's really more of a comment in general towards the entire API design. iOS and HTML5+IE9 are only two examples of a simpler rendering model.
I don't argue that it's more work to develop for IE9 with HTML5 than it is for Silverlight – but that's really only because Silverlight gives us cross platform support, better developer tools, a type-safe language and compile time errors. What I do argue is that there is put a lot more responsibility onto the developer wrt rendering performance, than for example HTML5 does. With Microsoft's advances on IE9 and hardware acceleration, it really puts Silverlight in a bad light.
Silverlight has a UI thread and you can in addition do background processing in other threads. Windows Phone 7 makes this even more complex: It has BOTH a UI thread, as well as a composition thread. Granted its there to "help" us get better performance on windows phone. However I argue that the only thing this did was to increase the complexity for those people who really wants to push the envelope. And I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the upcoming Silverlight 5 feature announced: "Fluid user interface enables smoother animation within the UI" really means that they ported this "idea" of a separate composition thread back to Silverlight. If they did, I personally consider that a fail.
Anyway, I'll stop here before I hijack David's amazing blogpost 🙂
Morten Nielsen, the composition offers us a way to perform UI bound tasks that we don't really want affecting critical UI tasks. Having worked in this space for over 3 years (since Silverlight 1) I can say with 100% confidence that there are UI tasks that you want to be completely fluid and non-blocked. This offers us that ability…
And in the future when we start getting more complex UI's where there will be great potential for UI blocking, this composition thread will be a godsend!!!
There are great benefits to the composition thread!!!! And I look forward to a future where we'll be able to build apps with MULTIPLE-UI THREADS!!! That is something RIA developers/designers we need to work towards!!!
Alex S,
Neat – thanks for sharing!
Colin E. and Morten Nielsen and John Mitas,
I think this is a good conversation to have; no worries about "hijacking". 🙂
Thank you for your LowProfileImageLoader.
But it is no way to remove image! It is no effect if I try to set null to LowProfileImageLoader.UriSource.
Why you ignore this case (with null value property)?
Sergey Zwezdin,
Believe it or not, nobody's ever requested that before! 🙂 To be fair, the original scenario was for scrolling lists where image removal never happens. That said, what should work for you here is to set Image.Source to null (as I discuss doing above) whenever you want to clear out an image. Alternatively, you could just remove the Image element from the tree.
However, this is a very reasonable thing to want to do, so I've added a note to look into this next time I do an update.
Thanks for the feedback!
Very nice! The only thing I'd like to add is a property for LowProfileImageLoader that specifies a default image to use in the event of an error. For example images downloaded from the web when there is no network connection, I'd like to display a default / unknown "facebook like" generic image. That looks easy enough for me to do with a modified copy but it'd be nice if it was baked in in the event of any future upgrades.
Thanks! And FYI that I've added your suggestion to my TODO list to consider for a future update. 🙂
Welcome… thank you. Turns out making that change was harder than I thought, at least for me, but perhaps I'll come back to later.
The other thing that crossed my mind as an enhancement was an optional caching ability. In many cases the images won't be changing often and perhaps sometimes reading and writing them to/from isolated storage (when not "expired") might be more efficient and would allow for offline use.
When you talk about caching, you start to get out of the simple scenario I was looking to help with. You might want to see if AgFx (http://agfx.codeplex.com/) would be relevant to what you're doing…
Thanks for the great library!
However, I wanted to read the images from my Isolated Storage. I couldn't get it working without editing the source code.
This is the addition I made: (it expects isolated storage files to have this uri: "isostore:/exampledirectory/examplefile")
(around line 152)
if (pendingRequest.Uri.OriginalString.StartsWith("isostore:", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
var fileStorage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
IsolatedStorageFileStream fileStream = fileStorage.OpenFile(pendingRequest.Uri.LocalPath, FileMode.Open);
pendingCompletions.Enqueue(new PendingCompletion(pendingRequest.Image, pendingRequest.Uri, fileStream));
else if (pendingRequest.Uri.IsAbsoluteUri)
Raymen Scholten,
Thanks for sharing!

So, it's end of the month and Blogworld is only 2 weeks away!! I am still so excited about winning the weekend pass from John Chow and can hardly wait to get there! But here's the thing, getting my ticket a little late in the game has put me a little behind in the whole process of finding sponsors to cover any other costs involved. Guess what that means…

Going to this Expo not only helps helps me grow, but helps my community grow. As I learn, collaborate, and create stronger and new relationships, it gives me a strong voice to represent MarketLikeAChick, professional female entrepreneurs, and the companies we work with. For companies that find themselves wanting to become more involved with new media, but still feeling a bit out of place, I would be happy to provide feedback on the Expo, trending ideas, and assist in forming open relationships between us, as bloggers, and you as a company.
To discuss any sponsorship opportunities, as well as creative marketing concepts for the Expo, please contact me directly and at your earliest convenience. With the expo only two weeks away, I would like to give each Sponsor full promotional opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
