Every school has their standards. If you want to make sure you meet them, click around our site and find out why we're great Bay Area tutors – and to get tips for bettering your study habits, test-taking, and more.
The following table is organized from first to last in terms of school ranking. Simply click on a college to view extended information about that college such as GPA, SAT, ACT, admittance rates and other information and data.
Harvard Rank 1
Princeton University Rank 2
Yale University Rank 3
Columbia University Rank 4
Stanford University Rank 5
Stanford offers housing for students throughout their entire education, but only forces students to live on campus for one year. However, most students choose to remain on campus for the entirety of their education. Greek life is present at Stanford but only accounts for 10% of the students, making it a less important element of school life than some other universities. Stanford offers undergraduate and graduate studies.
University of Pennsylvania Rank 6
Want to travel to the East Coast? Start preparing with some tutoring near Los Angeles and you could be on your way. The University of Pennsylvania is a private university founded in 1740. Located in Philadelphia, Penn has an urban-centric campus that was initially founded by Benjamin Franklin. The sports team, the Penn Quakers, is highly regarded with more than 25 Division I sports teams.
Penn offers student housing in 12 separate college houses, but students are also allowed to live off campus as well. Greek life is very important at Penn with more than 25% of students participating, making Penn a great choice for those interested in the Greek experience.
Penn's most highly regarded programs include the Wharton School, Law School, School of Medicine, School of Dental Medicine and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Alumni include Donald Trump and President William Henry Harrison.
California Institute of Technology Rank 7
Cal Tech is a school that is focused on science and engineering. It is located in Pasadena, CA, close to Los Angeles. It has eight students'houses, which students can live in for their entire tenure at Cal Tech. 80% of students, live in these arrangements despite the opportunity to live elsewhere.
Cal Tech offers highly regarded undergrad programs and is well known for its graduate programs as well: engineering, biology, computer science, mathematics and physics are among the most highly desired.
Cal Tech is regarded as one of the best institutions in the world for science and engineering. Cal Tech is very small, focused on small class sizes and personalized instruction. Its faculty and alumni together have received a staggering 32 Nobel prizes.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Rank 8
MIT graduate coursework is highly regarded, with the top schools being the School of Engineering and the Sloan School of Management. It also offers other programs such as economics, biology, earth sciences, physics and mathematics.
MIT is well known for its collaborative atmosphere and its sense of responsibility. MIT has one of the few dorms where you are, for instance, allowed to paint your walls. This kind of freedom is appreciated across the campus.
Dartmouth University Rank 9
Dartmouth is well regarded for its grad programs, including the Tuck School of Business, Thayer School of Engineering and the Dartmouth Medical School.
It is important to recognize that Dartmouth is a research-heavy institution like many other top schools. Also, almost two-thirds of the students at Dartmouth participate in off-campus programs based in over 20 countries around the world.
Duke University Rank 10
Duke University is located in Durham, North Carolina. Durham offers a variety of activities for students to partake in. Duke requires its students to stay on campus for three years before they can find their own living spaces. The Duke campus is large compared to other top schools but still small enough to foster a sense of community. However, there are so many people here that you are likely to find a social group that meets your needs.
Duke is well known for its sports, especially basketball. The Blue Devils maintains one of the top five college basketball programs in the country. Socially Duke is fairly Greek, with 30% of the student body involved in Greek life. So if you love Greek life and especially basketball you will be right at home at Duke. But don't forget – Duke is a highly academic school, too, so you might need to prepare with some SAT tutoring to ensure your admission.

Genre: Sci-Fi, Thriller
Rated: PG-13
Directed by: J.J. Abrams
Starring: Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee, Gabriel Basso, Kyle Chandler, Ron Eldard
Released by: Paramount Pictures
This New Alien Still Just Wants to Go Home
If the plot of the new science-fiction flick "Super 8" seems kind of familiar, blame its producer, Steven Spielberg. For despite the fact that J. J. Abrams is credited as the writer-director of the film, Spielberg's influence on the project is clear. Even though there are some well-thought-out variations on the story, "Super 8" is basically a re-packaging of Spielberg's 1982 classic "E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial."
Set in the late 1970s in a California suburb, "Super 8" offers up a group of middle school kids who are in the process of making a home movie about zombies. They aren't actually related, like the main kids in "E.T.," but they might as well be, as they have all been friends forever. Four boys make up the main group, but they add a cute girl to the mix because they need her to play a role in their movie. When they all sneak out at midnight one fateful night to film a sequence, a crazy train crash happens before their eyes, and the kids barely make it out alive.
What also makes it out alive from the crash is a seriously scary creature, one that the U. S. government is determined to hide from the world. And away we go, as military troops descend on the idyllic suburban town to try to cover up the crash and everything related to it. Sound familiar?
There's a lot that's derivative in Abrams' film, with elements not only of "E.T.," but also touches of "The Iron Giant," "The Goonies" and another Spielberg classic, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." But that's not to say that "Super 8" is a bad movie; it's actually a pretty fun ride. Abrams has created a nostalgic look at the days when it wasn't easy for kids to make their own films, and has cast it with an assemblage of talented young actors. The ensemble, led by the astonishing Elle Fanning (Dakota's younger sister), are completely believable as regular kids thrust into an extraordinary situation; their performances help move the action right along.
Plus, the film is filled with some eye-popping special effects and exciting sequences that should keep viewers of all ages engaged, regardless of whether they have seen all those other movies or not. Just don't be surprised if you can predict the ending, long before the final sequences unspool.

Your mom and Portland Farmers Market want you to eat your vegetables. But while your mom gave up on you years ago (maybe around the time you started partaking of that other leafy green), the PFM is still at it. Especially when it comes to first-time or infrequent shoppers.
So the PSU Saturday market has scheduled chefs giving cooking demonstrations using ingredients available at the market.
Farmers get it, too. Kale is scary. So, at the Buckman Farmers Market, Gathering Together Farm takes a cue from the butcher and baker and offers samples of their vegetables. On-site, their vendor throws a little olive oil together with the produce and herbs on hand, turning veggies into something that you might actually really want to eat."People want to eat better, but they grew up in a generation where food came in pre-packages boxes," says John Eveland, one of the farm's owners. "They just have no clue about what to do with the vegetables, so we demonstrate how easy it is to cook these things and make them taste good."
So, that's it. With all that education out there, you really have no more excuses not to eat your vegetables. Your mother will be so proud.
Location: Southeast 20th and Salmon between Belmont and Hawthorne, in the parking lot of Hinson Baptist Church.
Time: 3 pm-7 pm. Thursdays, May 3 through Sept. 27.
The crowd: Young east side families and a good collection of committed market veterans.
Freshman sellers: Blackheart Bagels is in its inaugural year and looking to fill the void left by Kettleman's sell-out.
Trending: Cherries and (speaking of odd vegetables) the over-sized fava bean, though its season is almost over.
Highlight: I went in search of Sol Pops, only to learn that the company has frozen its last ice pop. So, I settled with Scoop's Thai Chai Tea ice cream, which is, of course, not settling at all.
Food carts on site: Zuppa, Casa de Tamale.
Dog friendly: Yes.
Parking: Free street parking is fairly easy to find.

"SHAZAM!"- Gomer Pyle
Dateline: NASCAR. NEWS FLASH! Another woman found racing in the Nationwide Series! When last we checked in at the end of July there was only one woman in NASCAR - Danica Patrick - by the TV coverage. Which is not to take away from her, but there are other women in Charlotte, thank you very much. There are female owners, racers, NASCAR techs and more in many other positions. But for all of NASCAR's talk about diversity, you better be wearing a green racing suit if you want TV time.
Fast forward to last Friday night and I thought I had tuned into the wrong channel. It was all Johanna Long all the time. Normally for a small, one-car team to achieve this type of sudden notoriety, the driver has needed to be involved in some tantalizing or salacious story that is irresistible to the press. Having followed and interviewed Long, I knew this wasn't the case. Not only did they interview her, they followed her throughout the race until her brakes overheated, causing a blowout and ending her night.
Article Photos
What happened? You happened. In my July 31 column I asked you to call the various cable channels that carry NASCAR about the one-sided coverage. And it worked. Of course they will deny it, but here's a secret to the public image of major companies. One, two or three calls, or, even more, letter-writing can change things. They know if a few people will take the time to articulate an issue they, too, represent hundreds of thousands more who feel the same way.
To those who took the time to call, thank you very much - You did it! There was no other reason for the increased coverage. Long qualified eighth but has outqualified and out-raced top drivers including Patrick, and they didn't even whisper her name previously. Since the column in July, she has only raced Iowa and in Bristol where Patrick practically carried an ESPN camera crew on her back. The coverage was so dense you'd have thought that everyone else went home.
Some may say it was the power of the press, but in what I wrote, I simply made an observation and asked for your help and you delivered. Another beneficiary of this renewed interest in diversity on the part of the broadcasters was the attention paid to Darrell Wallace, the African-American driver running for Joe Gibbs Racing. He drove a smart race and will pick up a whole new group of fans.
With racing canceled throughout the Mid-Atlantic Saturday night I thought I'd take a minute to explain why I include coverage of many of the female racers. Part of it is simply, I root for the underdog. Yes, there a woman racers in top cars, like Patrick, Jessica Zemken and Sierra Jackson in 410s, or Erica Santos In the Northeast Midget Association just to name a few. But sometimes it can be more psychic.
Most of them have popular and familiar male drivers whom they look up to, but who are their female racing icons? Other than the long career of Shirley Muldowney in NHRA, many female racers have had a few cups of coffee in NASCAR or IRL, but not the regular rides at a Hendrick or Roush-Fenway. Other than Patrick, some of them have developed their own teams, such as Sarah Fisher in IRL or Jennifer Jo Cobb in the NASCAR Camping World Truck?Series. Others have gone onto support roles such as the Project Podium formed by Lyn St. James to help support female racers.
But where are the female racers running a full 36-race schedule for the championship? And further down the food chain are male drivers you never heard of, somehow or another, gathering up a ride in the Nationwide or Truck series. A young, new face who can appeal to a broad spectrum of people might garner a little more press for a small-time sponsor than just another male racer.
But there is a sea change coming. All you have to do is go to a Quarter Midget race, almost anywhere, and you'll see a large number of female racers. The interest is there, the talent is there now they need the rides. If you have a minute, why not put pen to paper and ask your favorite race team when they're going to have a woman racing full time. Good luck.
This Friday and Saturday is the Small Car Nationals at Hagerstown. Good racing to be had all night, both nights. And at the end of the month, Sept. 28 and 29, it's time for a battle royale as the Outlaws come into the home of the Pennsylvania Posse at Williams Grove. This will be better than the NASCAR chase.
Remember, if you don't have dirt on ya, it wasn't a race.

Epic Legendary Pure Kush (Malibu Pure Kush X Legendary Pure Kush) Strain Review
Name: Epic Legendary Pure Kush
Dispensary: Medical Marijuana Relief Clinic (Sherman Oaks)
Grade: A
Type: Mostly Indica
Lineage: Legendary Pure Kush crossed with Malibu Pure Kush. Same grower as Epic Malibu Pure Kush.
Price: $20/gram, $55/8th, $110/ quarter, $210 half ounce
Looks: Dense, tightly trimmed, blinged out nugs. Medium green nugs with many burnt orange hairs and heavy, white hued trichome coverage. Dank and sticky.
Smell: Pine, fuel and citrus with a hint of menthol and sweet rosewater. A floral, pine-fuel aroma.
Taste: A piney, sweet floral flavor similar to the the smell. Rich vapor with heavy lung expansion.
Buzz: Heavy peaceful buzz. Clearheaded, miildly euphoric and sedating. Couch lock-y with a powerful, numbing body high felt from head to toe. Best for late in the evening and bedtime.
Summary: Another gem from MMRC. This batch had desirable traits from both of its parents. The buzz, however, was heavier and more sedating than both strains on their own. One of the heaviest hitting and sleepiest PKs I've sampled.

When researcher Robert Guthrie, MD, PhD (1916-1995), began developing a new screening test for phenylketonuria (PKU) in the late 1950s, prospects for children with the disorder were poor. There was evidence that a diet low in phenylalanine could improve outcomes for children with PKU, but most children were not being diagnosed as having the disorder in time to prevent irreversible damage.
Guthrie, who began his clinical career as a cancer researcher, became interested in treatments for developmental disabilities because he had a young niece with PKU and a young son with an intellectual disorder, according to Edward McCabe, MD, PhD, medical director of the March of Dimes, which funded Guthrie's work on PKU. By the early 1960s, Guthrie had demonstrated that his test was effective (Guthrie R. JAMA. 1961;178[8]:863 and Guthrie R and Susi A. Pediatrics. 1963;32[3]:338-343). According to the March of Dimes, Massachusetts was the first state to begin using the test for newborn screening, and others soon followed suit. Guthrie predicted that the use of dried blood spots for the test would be an important part of his legacy, McCabe said.

Updated May 19th, with clearer code examples.
Customizing SharePoint's user interface, or even updating your own interfaces, can be a tiresome thing to do. Usually you'll have to deal with multiple master pages, many master page overrides, multiple css files and a wide array of dynamic code from XSLTs or web parts. All this makes it quite difficult to maintain a clear understanding and overview of the UIs you're customizing, or what the impact of your changes will be.
To add to the already high stress levels, many changes - especially those where you're deploying changes to your own web parts - will require recompiles, iis resets, feature reactivation or similar time consuming steps.
In this article I want to propose an alternative approach to UI changes, using jQuery prototyping. While jQuery isn't necessarily something you'd want to use to do all SharePoint UI restructuring, it does come in handy if you want to make simple runtime enhancements to the current UI, or even want to extend your custom parts with simple asynchronous behavior, or neat visual effects.
- FireFox (3.0.10 is the latest at the time of writing)
- FireBug
- Greasemonkey
- Knowledge of JavaScript and HTML / DOM.
- Download and install FireFox, if you haven't done this already.
- Start FireFox, and open the Addons config screen, available from the Tool menu.
- Activate "Get Addons" function on the top bar, then search for and install FireBug and Greasemonkey.
- Restart FireFox.
- Navigate to a SharePoint portal you wish to prototype, and confirm that you've got a set of FireBug / Greasemonkey icons in your browser status bar, such as:
- Right click the Greasemonkey icon, make sure it's set to enabled, and click New User script:
- Fill in values for the namespace and script title, such as:
The "Includes" box should be the url to the page you wish to prototype. This can be changed later, so stick with the default value for now. In other words, don't copy this from my example above.
- Next you'll be asked to select which editor to use for script editing. This can be any text editor of your choice, such as notepad, or in my case, Visual Studio.
- Once the editor selection is completed, it will be opened, you'll see an empty script. To test that you've got it all setup correctly, you can try adding an alert statement, and reload the page.
- Next click the FireBug icon, and activate the HTML function:
- If you're unfamiliar with FireBug, play around with the Inspect function, to see how various UI elements correspond to the HTML source code. Selecting an element also enables you to immediately see the active CSS styles for said element.
Prototyping something useful
Assignment: Making the Quick Launch on the left collapsible.
"Useful" is relative, I agree, but this is at least example use of how to hotplug jQuery into the mix, and how you can use that to experiment with UI changes you'd later wish to deploy to a master page, or portal page.
From here on we'll concentrate mainly on the script opened in your chosen editor. As of now, all the content should be a commented "UserScript" section - which is good. If you've entered anything else, feel free to remove that now.
So, without further stalling, lets code.
Loading scripts (such as jQuery) at runtime
Greasemonkey lets us inject custom scripts, but rather than messing any more around with it's configuration, we'll do the rest of the script loading with code. Since this is a prototype, and we'll be doing all of the prototyping in FireFox; loading scripts is simple.
The only complicating step, is the fact that Greasemonkey will execute Greasemonkey scripts in a sandbox, isolating certain functionality from the scripts already loaded in the browser. The reasoning here is that Greasemonkey, and its scripts, will execute with greater privileges than those loaded by the browser. To prevent browser-loaded scripts from getting unwanted access from your custom Greasemonkey scripts, and possible do naughty stuff on your system, Greasemonkey forces us to take certain actions to access the stuff outside the sandbox. If you wish to read more about that, search for "unsafeWindow" in your favorite search engine.
I've put together a set of functions, which will load custom scripts in order, and map the objects from these into the namespace available from the Greasemonkey sandbox. The functions looks as follows, and you can go ahead and input these in your prototype script. Reading and understanding them are optional steps -- we'll soon be getting to the interesting stuff.
1: function mapUnsafeObjects(objectArray) {
2: if (objectArray == null) {
3: return;
4: }
6: for (var i in objectArray) {
7: var objectName = objectArray[i];
8: window[objectName] = unsafeWindow[objectName];
9: }
10: }
12: function loadScript(url, objectArray, loadCallback) {
13: var js = document.createElement('script');
14: js.src = url;
15: js.type = 'text/javascript';
16: js.wrappedJSObject.onload = function() {
17: mapUnsafeObjects(objectArray);
18: loadCallback();
19: };
20: document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);
21: }
23: function loadScripts(scriptArray, completeCallback) {
24: if (scriptArray.length == 0) {
25: completeCallback();
26: }
27: var scriptEntry = scriptArray.shift();
28: loadScript(scriptEntry.url, scriptEntry.objects, function() { loadScripts(scriptArray, completeCallback); });
29: }
So these are the only utility functions you need to load external scripts. You can reuse them in any prototyping scripts you feed into Greasemonkey, to load whatever external content you need.
Here's an example on how to load the jQuery, jQuery UI and JSON2. We won't be needing more than the first in the following prototype, but if you wish to play around with jQuery UI (which has some cool drag and drop features, among other things), or the ajax + JSON functionality in jQuery, the others will be handy.
1: loadScripts([
2: {url: "http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.js", objects: ["jQuery", "$"]},
3: {url: "http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ui/minified/jquery-ui.min.js", objects: []},
4: {url: "http://www.json.org/json2.js", objects: ["JSON"]}
5: ], onLoadComplete);
What this will do, is load one script at a time, making sure it's completely loaded before skipping to the next in line. For each script loaded, an array of objects is mapped into the sandbox namespace, for easy access in the prototype script. Once all scripts are loaded, the callback function named at the end will be called.
First jQuery action
Thus, the onLoadComplete function will be where our action will take place. Once this is called, jQuery will be fully loaded, and available for use. To demonstrate this, create a callback such as follows:
1: function onLoadComplete()
2: {
3: $("a").css({ fontSize: '18pt' });
4: }
Once you save this, along with the previous code snippets, in the Greasemonkey script opened in your chosen browser, and reload the portal, all html anchor elements will get a ridiculous font size. Not too useful, but it at least confirms everything is working properly. If the jQuery syntax is unfamiliar to you, now would be a good time to read up on some basic examples at jQuery.com.
Collapsible Quick Launch
This is when FireBug will come in handy. Writing the code is simple, and Greasemonkey is great, but without a proper tool to navigate the html, we'd be banging heads into walls before long.
With the FireBug window opened, and pointed to "HTML" mode, hit Inspect and select the section just below a main quick launch link, as shown in this screen shot:
Doing this tells us that the quick launch main menu items have IDs such as "zz2_QuickLaunchMenunN", where N is the menu item index. Tapping into this with jQuery is pretty simple, with a selector such as $("tr[id^=zz2_QuickLaunchMenun]"). What we'd like to do with this, is to attach a click handler to collapse / expand the table row below it, if the following table row isn't another main menu item.
Adding such a handler, in a pretty straight-forward manner, would look like:
1: function onLoadComplete() {
2: $(function() {
3: $("tr[id^=zz2_QuickLaunchMenun]")
4: .next("[id=]").toggle()
5: .prev().click(function(evt) {
6: $(this).next().toggle();
7: evt.preventDefault();
8: });
9: });
10: }
This function will install a handler to be run once the DOM tree is loaded and ready for manipulation: the "$(function(){})" syntax. This handler will, noted by line number:
- 3
- Select all tr nodes with an id beginning with "zz2_QuickLaunchMenun". Hence forth called "main items".
- 4
- For each of these main items, select the next sibling, if it has an empty id attribute. The empty id is an important point, as we don't want one main item to collapse the following main item, in the case of there being no child menu between the two. If there's no child menu, lines 5-8 will do nothing more for this main item. In this case, the selector from line 3 will bring us to the next main item instead.
- 4
- Toggle (collapse) the child menu.
- 5
- Select the sibling's previous item, which brings the selection state back to the main item
- 5
- Install a click handler to the main item.
- 6
- Use the toggle() function from jQuery to collapse or expand the sibling (child menu).
- 7
- Simply prevents the click handler from bubbling further on to other nodes down the tree.
Saving and reloading the page, should confirm that the above code is working. When you click the background of the main quick launch items, the section will collapse or expand.
To wrap things up, we're going to add another piece of UI code, to animate the font size of the quick launch menu items, as they are mouse hovered. Expand / replace the function to resemble the following:
1: function onLoadComplete() {
2: $(function() {
3: $("tr[id^=zz2_QuickLaunchMenun]")
4: .mouseenter(function(evt) {
5: $(this).find("a").animate({ fontSize: '14px' });
6: })
7: .mouseleave(function(evt) {
8: $(this).find("a").animate({ fontSize: '11px' });
9: })
10: .next("[id=]").toggle()
11: .prev().click(function(evt) {
12: $(this).next().toggle();
13: evt.preventDefault();
14: });
15: });
16: }
Saving the script and reloading the page will actually uncover a bug in our previous selector, which wrongfully assumed that only the main items of the quick launch menu have the previously mentioned IDs. As it happens, sub items also employ this ID. While the click handler won't be affected (due to the sibling check), the mouseenter and mouseleave hover effect will be. Hovering the menu will now animate everything, while we want only the main items to be affected.
Pulling FireBug back up real quick will show that the items we actually want to attach to, have a parent table with an ID of "zz2_QuickLaunchMenu". To fix the issue we can thus take advantage of a more specific jQuery selector syntax: $("#zz2_QuickLaunchMenu > tbody > tr[id^=zz2_QuickLaunchMenun]").
This tells jQuery to look for a tr node with an id which starts with "zz2_QuickLaunchMenun", that has a direct parent element of type tbody, which in turn has a direct parent element with id "zz2_QuickLaunchMenu". Saving and reloading the page will confirm that the hover effect now only affects the main menu items.
Where to go from here
What I've demonstrated is a way to install and setup a hotpluggable SharePoint UI development environment. jQuery, and various other scripts, have vast possibilities for expanding SharePoints UI, and essential to exploring these, is a way to doing so quickly, without redeploying a bunch of stuff to the development environment (possibly polluting that, with nonsensical experiments).
Once you're done with the prototyping, you would obviously have to deploy jQuery, or whatever scripts you use, to the portal. Either in shape of a master page change, a new aspx page, web parts page template or similar. How you should deploy it depends largely on what you're installing, and what you want it to override.
There's no doubt in my mind that SharePoint development can benefit from such hotplug prototyping, however. Both the previously blogged about CodeConsole web part, and this simple prototyping environment, can - if used with care - simplify your life as a SharePoint developer or designer. Any opinions on how it could be done differently, are much obliged of course!

Football drops fourth straight
Final home game Thursday at 7 p.m.
By Matt Phelps
Mercer Island Reporter
The Mercer Island High School football team lost its fourth consecutive game Friday night, 35-12, at Issaquah High School.
The Eagles took it to the Islanders from the opening kickoff.
Issaquah drove the field and scored on a six-yard run for a 7-0 lead. A 60-yard touchdown pass on the team's next possession put Mercer Island behind by two scores.
The Islanders finally got on the board when sophomore Carson Kilburn scooped up an Issaquah fumble and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown. But the blocked extra point resulted in the lead only being cut by six points.
Grant Gellatly, who ran over and through the Mercer Island defense, scored again on the Eagles' next drive and added his third touchdown two possessions later.
Issaquah completed its scoring with a three-yard touchdown run to open the fourth period. Mercer Island earned one more touchdown as sophomore Treston Donovan returned the next kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown. But the Eagles would stop the two-point conversion attempt and end all hopes of more Mercer Island points.
Mercer Island fans will have something to cheer for this week as the Islanders host Liberty during all-Island band night at 7 p.m. on Thursday night. The game will also be the final home appearance for the seniors on the team and all will be recognized for their contribution to the football program.

I have always been amazed that the only demographics that matter to advertisers are the 18-49 year olds. You are completely right; the 50+ have MONEY! I remember when they canceled "Murder, She Wrote," even though it was the most watched show on television. It wasn't the most watched in their desired age range.
In thinking about your dilemma, there is another option to getting publicity: Start your own group and grow it. Strength lies not in a large number of separate individuals but in an organized group of size. I'm sure that you could build a community both online and in person. Then I'm sure they would take some notice.

East Lyme - Residents at a public hearing Wednesday were divided on a proposed ordinance that would limit the noise a property owner could make.
Some at the hearing, attended by more than 20 residents, said the ordinance is needed to promote the town's quality of life and preserve residents' well-being. Others criticized it as a costly and unnecessary measure, saying it could lead to possible lawsuits stemming from enforcement.
The ordinance would limit noise to specified decibel levels for residential and nonresidential properties and for daytime and nighttime hours. But the ordinance would not regulate certain sounds, including those arising from farm equipment, train horns, school bells and government-mandated warning devices. Daytime construction, snow removal equipment and sounds arising from emergency situations would also be exempt.
At previous Board of Selectmen meetings, resident Robert Scheel had implored the town to adopt the noise ordinances because of noise from ATVs in his neighborhood.
During the hearing, resident Greg Decker said he has heard noises from parties and radios late at night and has called the police, who told him they could do nothing about the noise. He said he and his neighbors are "in full support of this ordinance."
But other residents were strongly opposed.
"I am 100 percent against the noise ordinance," said resident Ron Rando. "We do not need any more laws or ordinances against this town." He said the $5,500 for publishing the legal advertisement was a "waste of taxpayers' money" and that the town could already send the police to address disturbances.
Scheel said he contacted the state about noise disturbances by his home and was advised that he could either seek protection through additional town ordinances or take civil action.
Addressing some opposition to the ordinance at Wednesday's meeting, he said it would be unreasonable to call the police simply over a noisy vehicle passing by, but the noise he is describing occurs adjacent to his house. "You can be sitting there late at night, and the noise shakes you," he said.
He added that the dozens of towns with noise ordinances hadn't had any problems with lawsuits.
Some residents sympathized but wondered why the police couldn't use existing statutes or cite the neighbors for violations, such as breach of peace.
Some residents also said that the town shouldn't have to solve a civil dispute through the ordinance. Scheel responded that he has heard many other complaints from other people.
Selectman Kevin Seery, also a resident trooper in Salem, a town without a noise ordinance, said there are state laws for noise for enforcing public disturbances.
The selectmen took no action on the proposal Wednesday and decided to continue the discussion at the next meeting. The selectmen favored seeking input from the resident trooper and further clarifying technical issues.

Editor's note: For Christmas, we present this extra entry in the 2012 Buffalo News Short Story Contest, in which writer Joan Wickett of Hamburg followed our opening prompt about a table and a dog all the way to Bethlehem.
By Joan Wickett
t least the table looks good."
It did – everything was shiny and perfect. The other preparations were coming along, too, though there was much still to do. With luck, they would have it all ready in time.
And then: "Grrrrrr-GRRRRR," loud and louder!
What on earth was upsetting the dog?
"Here's a biscuit … What's the matter? You don't want it?"
The growling continued. The hair on the dog's back stood on end as she glared at, but did not approach, the door.
"Hush, dog, don't you know it may be him! We must make him welcome – no growling! – dumb dog!"
The sound of heavy boots approached the door. A thunderous knock – could it be him? No, a king would not come unescorted; it could be his people – perhaps his army.
He will need an army, yes, if he is to rescue us. There must be an army to throw the tyrants out – to give us back our rightful land.
The pounding continued
"Open in the name of Herod – open this door, or we will break it in!"
The growling continued.
"Hush, you will get us in trouble!," the man said to the dog, then he turned to his wife: "I will answer the door. We must appease them – at least for now."
Hesitantly he opened the door – just far enough to see two very large men in Roman army regalia.
"Is he here?," they demanded. "We heard he was coming – is he here?"
"Who is it you seek?" the man asked.
"The king, of course. Herod was told he would come tonight. We are here to welcome him and bring him to Herod so that he, too, may honor him," the soldiers said.
"No. I know of no king but Caesar," the man replied. "Why do you ask me?"
"Yours is the only inn in town," the soldiers answered. "We thought perhaps he would seek shelter here."
"No, but I will surely tell him, if he comes, that you are seeking him."
As he closed the door, the innkeeper called to Sarah, his wife.
"Come quickly! Soldiers were here – they are seeking him, too," he said. "I told you the prophets were right! This is the day – and this is the place! The Messiah is coming – perhaps to our very door and this very night! I have saved our best room for him."
Checking with Sarah, he asked, "Is everything else ready – how goes the meal?"
"All is ready," she responded. "The table is set with our finest. The calf is over the fire. All is perfect, just as you requested."
She couldn't help but add, "The inn is full. We could have sold that room many times over. A young couple came while you were talking to the soldiers. She was expecting – very close, it looked like. A sweet young thing – I think her first. I told them they could spend the night in the stable – at least it will keep them out of the weather."
"That's fine, Sarah," her husband said. "You had better check on the dinner. It can't be long now."
Another knock came at the door. Perhaps it is he!
The sound of animals came through the heavy wooden door. Opening it revealed a humble shepherd boy clutching his staff, a look of anxiety on his weathered face.
"What is it you want?" the innkeeper said. "We have no room. We are busy tonight – quick, state your business."
"We saw the star, and an angel appeared and told us to follow it," the young shepherd said. "We seek the new king. The star is over your town. Have you seen him? Is he here?"
"No, no king – not yet. We, too, are waiting," the innkeeper answered, kinder now. "We hope it won't be long. You may water your animals in our stable. There is a young family there taking shelter, and they have a newborn child – be sure not to disturb him."
As he turned away, an almost angelic smile crossed the shepherd's face.
"Strange people these shepherds were," the innkeeper said, "so simple and so easy to please. Who would think they would be so happy to share a stable with a poor couple and a baby?
Then, he added: "Sarah, why don't you check on the baby and mother. Perhaps take them some food – we have plenty.
"It may be a long night. We must stay awake for his coming! He probably will have his army with him.
"Yes, Sarah, the Messiah is coming – he is coming!!"

Jane Scott is 68. She wears bifocals. At the moment she is wearing tennis shoes, standing backstage at Cleveland's Phantasy Theater doing an interview with Gibby Haynes, 29, lead singer for a punk band whose name is insufficiently wholesome to mention here. Suffice it to say that the opening act for Haynes' group is called My Dad Is Dead.
"What type of people come to see your concerts?" asks Scott.
"F—-ing burnouts," says Haynes, simultaneously spilling beer onto his torn jeans. "S—-heads who think we like them."
"Uh huh," says Scott. "And who are your musical influences?"
"Julio Iglesias!" offers one band member. "Madonna!" says another. "Walter Brennan!" adds a third.
"And what do you hope to be doing at age 40?" asks Scott. Haynes, in Ianguage that is colorful, precise and, alas, unprintable, expresses the fervent hope that he will be able to maintain a robust and satisfying sex life. For an encore—and as a preview of his band's stage antics—he concludes the interview by setting his hand on fire.
To many 68-year-olds, such behavior might seem alarming or, at the very least, rude; to Scott, it's simply good material. As the rock critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, she has long been inured to rock's egos and excesses. "Jane is pretty well shock-proof," says her editor, Tom Feran. She is also busy. Before attending Haynes' concert on a Friday, the self-described "only rock critic for a major metropolitan daily who has a senior citizen bus pass" had seen Billy Idol on Monday and Eric Clapton and Robert Cray on Thursday. "I cover all these groups," she says. "You have to speak the kids' language. Once they know I've been to the Dead Kennedys, they talk to me."
Scott, who has a degree in English and speech from the University of Michigan, began her newspaper career selling ads for the Cleveland Press in the '40s and later became a society reporter for the Plain Dealer. That led to a job writing a weekly teen page, which put Scott on the cultural frontlines when the Beatles first came to America in 1964. "That was a turning point for me," she says. "It really changed my life. I started to look at things from a rock point of view." Although a generation older than most of her subjects, Scott immersed herself in the spirit of the era, and along the way scored interviews with everyone from John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Jim Morrison, David Bowie, Lou Reed and Meat Loaf. Among her favorite interviewees: Grace Slick and Frank Zappa, "who always have a point of view and say just what they think." Her worst interview? Debbie Harry. "She just didn't give anything out, even though I was with her for a couple of hours."
Although she thinks musical generation gaps are inevitable—"Kids need their own music, even if it's lewd"—she also thinks parents are wrong to dismiss rock as dumb. "There's a Stardust syndrome," she says. "People think nothing has happened since Stardust." She credits her own career longevity to persistence. "You have to be there at the beginning, the first time a group comes to Cleveland. Once you sit behind a desk and do only established people, you're on your way out."
Earlier this year it seemed that Scott herself might be on the way out: Editor Feran admits that there was talk of reassigning her. But 126 of her Plain Dealer colleagues signed a pro-Scott petition, and the paper left her on the rock beat. Scott, who has never married and whose principal other passion is antiques, was relieved. "What else would I do?" she says. "Write about the PTA? Or real estate? No. Once I found rock, I was never interested in anything else."
Cleveland Rock Critic Jane Scott May Be Pushing 70, but She's Still Got the Beat

Coach Leavitt talks about Matt Grothe, B.J. Daniels, upcoming FSU & more.
Part 1
Part 2.
Part 3.
Part 4.
Opening Statement
"Reviewing last week like I always do, I thought our guys came out and played very well. I thought they did what they should have done, which I'd already said before. We got some good action out of our defensive front. Our linebackers played better. Our secondary did some good things, especially not having Quenton (Washington) out there. I thought our offensive line handled a lot of different stunts and movements that they hadn't really seen much of. Our quarterbacks both did a really good job."
"I thought we had a good practice last night. They had good meetings. I thought their focus was there. They're excited about playing Florida State certainly. I thought their demeanor was really good. I was happy with that. I expected that to be the case. We need to get off a good practice today and just really focus on today. We've got a lot to do today. We're playing an awfully good football team, a team that is one of the better teams in the country and certainly traditionally has been one of the great stories of college football."
On Grothe's attitude following the injury
"What choice does he have? You can sit there and be down - I'm sure that it's tough on him. You're not going to come out - it'd be tough on all of us. It is what it is. It happened. You've got to move forward. There's not a lot you can do about it right now. He can certainly help our football team in a lot of really important ways. He already is. You know how I feel about him. He's a tremendous young man. He's going to handle things the best he can."
On how Daniels looked out in practice
"The same as he's looked since he's been here the last few years. He's always had the confidence, always acted as if he's the No. 1 guy, which I hope all your quarterbacks always do. Not really any differences in what we've had. During two-a-days Matt was down for a little over a week. B.J. ran everything. It was really no difference with him or Evan (Landi) in there. They both are very strong leaders. They both work extremely hard. They're both very confident."

Intel Next Unit of Computing (NUC - DC3217BY) Review
Out of the Box Experience & First Impressions
I'm a big fan of first impressions and when something is done so radically different, it really needs to be told to the world. Instead of writing, I'm going to show you in a video, then explain underneath.
How. Amazing. Is. That. I was in my office when I first opened it, with my wife sitting on the couch across from me. Bum, bum, bum, bum... the normal Intel noise you hear on advertisements, fills the room. I was shocked, speechless. This is the simplest, smallest touch, but left a huge impression on me.
Intel didn't need to do that - at all, but they did and that's what matters. It feels different, special, and unique. This is its Next Unit of Computing, and this is the Next Generation of Marketing. That little noise left can go a long way to impress a user.
As you can see in the video, the box slides out to the slide very stylishly, exposing the NUC inside. Intel has provided us with the Thunderbolt-based model, the DC3217BY.
A 3-pin "Cloverleaf" cable that you'll need to purchase separately (the top cable).
Once the device is built, it is a little bit heavier than stock - as the SO-DIMMs, mSATA SSD and Wi-Fi card don't weigh all that much. I did have to run down to my local electronics store and buy a 3-pin "Cloverleaf" power connector, as it doesn't come included in the box.
I had a miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort connector that I was able to use on the Thunderbolt port for my monitor connectivity - with my monitor being the Samsung S27A950D, 27-inch, 120Hz, 1920x1080 display. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 from a USB flash drive, and away I went.

After earning 10 all-district team spots, the Rockets had two members gain attention with The Associated Press All-State Team. Offensive lineman Matt Axline and kicker Matt Nakatani both received honorable mention spots. They were two of only nine Louisville-area players to receive votes for the first or second teams and honorable mention.
When the Shelby County School Board meets Thursday it will consider the approval of a Resolution of Opposition to a proposed plan that would allow the state to capture local school district contingency funds to help with its projected fiscal shortfall for the 2010-12 fiscal biennium.
Kentucky state law requires local school districts to maintain a contingency fund equal to at least 2 percent of their annual budgets.

The SCHS girls' basketball team tried to rally late in the game at Dunbar Tuesday, but the Lady Rockets came up short, 85-70.
Dunbar (6-2) slowly pulled away throughout the first half and pushed the lead to 22 in the third quarter before Shelby County started to claw back in to the game.
The Lady Rockets cut the lead to 13 but could get no closer.
Although the loss dropped Shelby to 1-4 on the season, SCHS Coach Phillip Conder isn't discouraged.
Shelby County Fiscal Court voted on a zoning issue Tuesday morning just as it had three months ago to the day – but this time the result was the opposite.
Magistrates unanimously approved a motion to rescind a 150-acre zone change from agricultural to industrial for the Shelby County Industrial Park, one of the parcels targeted to attract Harley-Davidson.
If you've ignored the wooly worms and the squirrels and all the other dire forecasts that a cruel winter may be upon us, Shelby County Fiscal Court wants to make sure you don't miss the news.
Magistrates proclaimed this week as Winter Weather Awareness week, and that's more than just a slogan to Emergency Management Agency Director Charlie Frazee, the man who proposed it.
I'm considering a predominately homemade holiday. My friend Pernilla suggested that all gifts should be ones that can "be used up" for a good purpose. So, something one could eat, use to cook with, to bathe with; perhaps something we could decorate with and when finished it would be a good addition to the compost pile?
Shelby County Fiscal Court voted Tuesday to accept the 2010 budget submitted by Shelby County Sheriff Mike Armstrong that included a slight increase from 2009. Armstrong's 2010 budget is projected to include $1,310,200 in tax receipt
The Christmas Parade held Saturday in downtown Shelbyville had something for everyone, for kids from 1 to 92.
No one complained as Jack Frost nipped at their noses, and the crowd delighted in floats, marching bands, fire trucks decked out in holiday bows, dancing groups, and best of all, the jolly old elf himself as Santa Claus brought up the rear of a nearly 2-hour procession.
A Frankfort woman who had been in critical condition since being injured in a single-vehicle auto accident Wednesday has died. Clarice Agnes Barber Burch, 46, of Frankfort, died Saturday at the University of Louisville Hospital, where she had been airlifted following the accident late Wednesday afternoon.

Is Corporate Governance Risk Valued? Evidence from Directors' and Officers' Insurance
Lea Henny Stern
Syracuse University - Department of Finance

October 15, 2011
Journal of Corporate Finance, Vol. 18, No. 2, 2012
We find that common equity firms pay lower D&O insurance premiums than income trusts, an alternative and riskier ownership form. This result has wide-ranging implications for investors insofar as the information provided by D&O insurers provides investors with an unbiased signal of the firm's governance risk. The signal is unbiased because it comes from an entity (i.e. the insurer) that has a direct financial incentive to correctly assess an organization's governance risk, in contrast to other ad hoc governance measures and indices.

You know what today is? It's only Celebrity Big Brother final day! Which is a bit like Christmas, only with slightly less tinsel. Actually we haven't see what Rylan's wearing yet, so we could be very wrong about that. We'll get back to you.
So who've we got left? Well with Sam Robertson, Kathy Beale, Lacey actual name Banghard, Tricia Penrose, Frankie Dettori and Paula Hamilton all gone from the CBB house, the remaining housemates are the core massive.
There's Claire from Steps (she might as well change it by deed poll), Toadie from Neighbours, evil-but-awesome Speidi, Razor Ruddock - our secret favourite apart from when he does... scratching of things - and, of course, Rylan.
The way things stand at the moment, there seems to be no way that Rylan could possibly be beaten – especially since the second favourite, Tricia (we know, baffling) has now gone home to her own bed.
Mostly though, we're just sad it's over. We get a lot of things in our own home, but what we do not get is buffets in a secret basement, fights with people from The Hills, naked glamour girls, or the phrase Drop Me Attttttt. CBB, it's been awesome. Now let's see who our winner will be (if it's not Rylan, we'll build a basement and invite you all round for a buffet. A brilliant one. With a cheese board).
Oh wait. Do we even need to watch it? Or does this mean it's all in the bag already?
WAIT, Razor's camp aren't giving in just yet. They should probably just promise us he'll wear some trousers if he wins, that would get us voting.
Rylan maybe the bookies favourite but keep voting for @realrazor he has a chance to win #CBB #Teamrazor #Razortowin twitter.com/RealRazor/stat…— Neil Ruddock (@RealRazor) January 25, 2013
But guess who else thinks they're going to win. Well obviously it's Speidi. This is what they were saying in the house this morning.
"If we win it shows we played the game so awesome," Spencer yelled. "When Ryan said he thought we would come fifth it made me want to win even more."
"Me too," agreed Heidi.
A strange part of us wants it to happen. No we don't. OH WE CAN'T DECIDE...
They're campaigning too...
Don't assume Rylan's safe! Pick up the phone and vote for him to win! Call 090 20 50 58 09 from a landline & 6 50 58 09 from a mob! #RylanHQ— Rylan Ross Clark (@RylanClark) January 25, 2013
BUT FORGET THEM. What about you? This is your Friday night, here, you want to do some planning, work out what time to put the wine in the fridge and get your onesie on. So let's get all the practical information you need here.
Oh hello, we're upping the ante. It's celebrity fan time.
Anyone else hooked on this years CBB?! Who do you want to win tonight?! Im #TeamRylan #CBB— Tulisa Contostavlos (@officialtulisa) January 25, 2013
In the interests of fairness, let's hear from ClairefromSteps' team.
Well done lovely @_clairerichards who has made it all the way to the #cbb final! she would be SO suprised to win - so lets make it happen!!— Urban Associates (@UrbanAssociates) January 25, 2013
We've only gone and looked back through every CBB episode to bring you the BEST photos of the series, haven't we? That's right - relive the laughs, tears, tasks and nudity (oh so much nudity)with our special photo gallery here. Featuring pictures like this...
And this...
And THIS.
After making up with the housemates following 'clapping-gate', Spencer broke down during an emotional speech to the housemates last night.
When asked whether he has any regrets during the final dinner, he said: "To be honest I wanted to come in here and be the ultimate baddie and hoped to hate everyone with every cell in my body.
"I tried as hard as I could, but it's difficult in here.
"I think America is where I can shine and continue my level of badness.
"England is my weakness, my kryptonite."
BUT DO WE BELIEVE HIM? Is this the real Spencer or a last ditch attempt for the BB title?
Now let's see Twitter campaigns Ryan-style, which is a bit like Rylan-style, only with fewer medleys and more gym weights.
Do it! "@rhyslawsonfans: All @neighbours fans please spread the word. Vote #RyanToWin #cbb . Let's do this #TeamToadie twitter.com/RhysLawsonFans…"— Neighbours (@neighbours) January 25, 2013
Looks like the
cast sorry, came over a bit Spencer there, we mean housemates, are pretty excited about the final then, going by the most recent antics* in the house.
*Antics? Antics? Not sure where that came from,
Pre-show LOL, anyone?
I swear this for my ears for my ear pieces tonight!! twitter.com/brianofficial/…— Brian Dowling (@brianofficial) January 25, 2013
Team X Factor are out in support too...
Good luck tonight to @rylanclark hoping you win matey much love JJx— Union J (@UnionJworld) January 25, 2013
Some news from the house: This is how the finalists are filling their hours before the big eviction frenzy.
Ryan: Running
Rylan: Catwalking
Speidi: Dozing
Razor: Trumping
ClairefromSteps: Bathing
Sounds about right.
"It's just the waiting. I hate the waiting."
Poor ClairefromSteps isn't enjoying today...
If it's about Twitter campaigns, Rylan wins hands down. If it's about actual votes.... yeah he probably wins that too.
#VOTERYLAN Let's get it trending! #RylanHQ— Rylan Ross Clark (@RylanClark) January 25, 2013
Aaaaaaaaaand it worked.
#VoteRylan is trending! We can't wait to tell Rylan how supportive you've all been during CBB. #TeamRylan #RylanToWinCBB #RylanHQ— Rylan Ross Clark (@RylanClark) January 25, 2013

There's nothing new about Bolshoi Ballet star Andris Liepa amazing audiences and fellow dancers with his leaps—he does that all the time—but last year he caused jaws to drop by merely stepping onto a stage. In December, Liepa visited a Bolshoi rehearsal in Moscow to chat with his friends. "I saw them gasp," he recalls. 'They are so surprised, they can't say to me nothing." The cause of amazement Liepa had been in the U.S. on a one year stint with New York's American Ballet Theatre—and he hadn't defected. Instead, Liepa, 27, the first top Soviet dancer ever allowed unlimited travel by his government, went home for vacation, then returned to his U.S. tour. Even he has trouble adjusting to his unusual freedom. "It's incredible—they give me multiple visa!" he says. "I don't need to ask anybody for permission."
Sometimes referred to by ABT director Mikhail Baryshnikov, who is his idol, as the "Perestroika Kid," Liepa has managed to straddle two worlds in his dancing as well as in his life. He has retained all the poetry and grandeur of the classic Soviet style while adapting to the more abstract technique favored in the U.S. After a seven-city tour that began last January, he is currently dazzling New York audiences in Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet, among other works. "Andris Liepa justified his importation and then some," wrote the San Francisco Examiner, calling his Romeo "the very model of an impassioned, impulsive, star-crossed lover."
Liepa first became a glasnost beneficiary in 1986 as a member of the first Soviet group to enter the International Ballet Competition in Jackson, Miss. He and his partner took home the grand prize. The next year critics across this country hailed him as "superb" and "enormously engaging" when the Bolshoi made a historic U.S. tour, ending an eight-year cultural exchange freeze that began with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Early last year precedent was again shattered when Liepa and his Bolshoi partner, Nina Ananiashvili, were allowed to join the New York City Ballet for a month. At a dinner party during that run, Liepa met Baryshnikov and told him of his desire to spend a season learning the ABT repertoire. Baryshnikov extended the invitation. Moscow quickly approved. Liepa eagerly accepted. "If they give to us new freedom," he says, "we need to use."
Shortly after he arrived last September, Liepa wed American Vivian MacMurry, 37, a UN secretary he had met at the Mississippi competition. He says the liaison was actually set up by his mother, actress Margarita Zhigunova, who had befriended the MacMurry family when Vivian's father was stationed in Moscow as a Pan Am exec. Liepa insists he does not intend to defect, à la Baryshnikov, Rudolf Nureyev, Alexander Godunov and Natalia Makarova. "To defect is to cut half of yourself," he says, "it's very strange situation to know you can't go anymore to your country, see anymore your friends. your family."
Liepa (who has been married once before) and Vivian rent a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. They haven't decided what they'll do after his ABT year ends. "Who knows?" he says. "Maybe Vivian will find some job in Russia. Maybe I will stay here one more year. Or if there are people who will give me interesting work in China, I will go to China." Fascinated by America, he now lugs a video camera wherever he goes. His weekly SI ,200 ABT salary far exceeds the 100 rubles a week (about $160) he earns back home, but it disappears just as fast. "We don't pay taxes in Russia," he says. "And we use just cash. Now I have American Express, and it's like some kind of magic. You give to the store your card, and you get everything you want! When I got my first bill, it was terrible."
Money was never a problem in the Liepa household when Andris and his sister, Ilze, 25, were growing up. His father was Bolshoi star Maris Liepa, and Andris began dancing at 7, entering the Bolshoi school at 10. At 18, he was accepted into the company, and for three years he danced in minor roles. Then in 1984 he was suddenly asked to substitute for a lead dancer in a Moscow competition. Rejecting his father's advice to decline ("He said, 'If you win nothing, it will be very bad' "), he entered and won a silver medal. "I think he didn't always believe I had the possibility to be a good dancer," Liepa says. "But I'm glad, because later when I got from him some good words, it felt real good." When Maris died of a heart attack at 52 last March, Andris interrupted his ABT tour to fly home for a memorial service. "I was shocked," he says. "He didn't have a problem with his heart." To an extent he has found a second paternal figure in his "great teacher" Baryshnikov, who knew Maris and is now "my boss and I'm his dancer."
Wherever Liepa goes, people ask him what will happen if glasnost fails. "It's impossible to turn politic back," he says. "What happens now is a revolution without blood. Gorbachev is trying to change the mentality of a full country. It's really difficult work. But I believe in this way." He is also pioneering it.

Those lyrics from a famous Neil Diamond song also represent the primary mode of argument among today's liberals, and that goes a long way toward explaining the vast political divide that shows up daily on these pages of The Signal.
Today's progressive left is concerned primarily with feelings — how conservatives are mean, heartless, divisive (or even downright evil) and how our government should spend more, regulate more and tax certain people and businesses more in the interest of this or that special cause.
In response, conservatives argue that liberal solutions have proven both ineffective and destructive — in every single case — but such argument falls on deaf ears because the hearer's focus is entirely different.
While conservatives are driven by cognitive appeals like limited government, liberty, history and actual results, liberals are driven by emotional appeals like equality, fairness, need and activism ("doing something" as an end in itself).
The old saying goes, "If you're conservative in your 20s, you have no heart; if you're liberal in your 40s, you have no head." But perhaps the Neil
Diamond summation is a bit more generous.

How to Throw a Slider
Two Methods:Getting a GripMastering the DeliveryCommunity Q&A
The slider is the third-fastest pitch in baseball, ranking closely behind the 4-seam fastball and 2-seam fastball. It's important to know how to properly throw this pitch to avoid injury to your arm. A well-thrown slider should break late in its flight in the same direction as a curveball. A left-handed pitcher's slider should break down and away from left-handed hitters, and down and in on right-handed hitters.
Method 1
Getting a Grip
1Grip the baseball with your index and middle fingers placed tightly together across an outer seam of the ball. Locate the U-shaped seam. For right-handers, place your middle finger across the right half of the seam. This should position your fingers towards the outside of the ball (off-center).
2Place your thumb under the inside seam of the ball. These 2 fingers should not make any real contact with the ball's surface. If your index and middle fingers are at a 10 or 11 o'clock position, your thumb should be at a 4 or 5 o'clock position.
4Cock your wrist slightly to the thumb side of the throwing hand. Most pitchers do this to ensure that the ball releases on the thumb-side of your index finger. You're not going to twist your wrist side to side as you release the ball, so this adjustment helps give the pitch a better slide.
Method 2
Mastering the Delivery
1Go into your windup. Pivot and shift your body weight from the back foot forward toward home plate.
2Keep your wrist loose as you release the ball. Remember to have it cocked slightly, but resist the urge to twist it (side to side) it when you release the pitch.
- Try not to drive your wrist forward with more than an adequate amount of force.
3Snap your wrist (up to down) to make the ball drop as it crosses the plate.
4Think fastball as you release the pitch. Prepare to come right down through with your wrist, just like you would with a fastball.
5Remember to let the spin of the slider come from your index finger releasing from the ball, not a twisting of your wrist. Snapping is an up and down motion, while twisting is a side to side motion. The greater the angle created by turning the fingers, the wider the break on the slider.
6Follow through with your motion. Your feet should be parallel at the end of the pitch and your throwing arm should come across the front of your body.
Community Q&A
- The further your thumb is from your other 2 fingers, the more the pitch will drop & the closer they are, the more it will slide.
- There should be noticeable spin on the ball if you are throwing the pitch correctly.
- If you aren't getting the movement you want on the ball, try throwing it harder or slower, slightly change your grip on the ball or try applying different amounts of pressure with different fingers.
- Throw a slider to the inside part of the plate to a left-handed batter and the outside to a right hander.
- Try to hit the corners of the strike zone with a slider. Leaving a slider down the middle of the plate makes it more hittable.
- Pitcher under under the age of 18 should attempt this pitch with caution. The stress placed on the throwing elbow greatly increases the risk of fracture to the medial epicondyle growth plate.
