Thank you to everyone finding and posting the shirt codes
Quote from Daisypug :Now it says that I need to enter 6 codes
Thank you to everyone finding and posting the shirt codes
Enter in each of the four shirt codes, one at a time and only once, select your shirt each time.
Enter in six more MCR codes.
Then, enter in the four shirt codes once again.
The shirt codes can be used twice and the six MRC codes cover the first round of shirts. Then, just rinse and repeat.
EDIT: Apparently, I forgot, there is one code that has men's L shirts.
Yep! My Boise State "Large" shirt might end up being a medium after one or two washings. That is the only size they offered with the "TOUCHDOWN" code.
All of the rest of the code offerings (TSHIRT, MYTEAM & FOOTBALL) were XL's which is what I prefer with the shrinkage of 100% cotton and all. Hey! They are Hanes shirts so the quality is there. But, 100 % cotton does shrink when you wash them no matter what. Ehh, I have a couple of friends of smaller stature who will appreciate it. I wish there were more Pac 10 teams. (or is it Pac 36 teams now or something.) (No, JK. It's 12 now - lol)
...me too. I can help too - no way I need 8 shirts!!

How I bought all my gifts this year without ever having to look for parking.
It hit me during a rather mundane task. After procrastinating about as long as lawmakers did in crafting a plan to avoid the U.S. going over a fiscal cliff, I finally sat down last night, cup of joe in hand, in front of our fire and began the oh-so-thrilling chore of sifting through holiday sales receipts.
Oh boy. $79.87 at Amazon.com, $22.47 at Etsy, $33.55 at RibbedTee.com.
Wait...Could it be? No? Really? Yes. It was true.
I bought every single holiday gift online this year. Every. Single. One. That's saying a lot for a gal who has to shop for eight nieces and nephews, three siblings, a set of parents and a fiancé.
The thing is, I didn't mean to. Yes, I write about e-commerce 40 hours a week, so perhaps it was a subconscious gesture. But in most cases it simply made the most sense. Surfing the web helped me find what I was looking for—and in many cases they were pretty specific items—fast, look at reviews, and visit multiple stores to comparison shop without fighting Chicago traffic and giving the evil eye to the jerk who steals my parking spot.
We all know shopping the web is faster and more convenient than getting in a car and toddling around town to those cute little boutiques praying they have the perfect, thoughtful gift. However, I've selected a handful of examples from my Santa sack this year that I feel really drive home the argument for shopping online.
Exhibit A: Mission Impossible
After sending the yearly "Please-tell-me-what-you-want-for-Christmas-this-year" e-mail to my family, my brother presented me with a challenge.
Here is the transcript:
You are the perfect person to get me what I cannot seem to find myself.... I have tried LOTS of different plain white t-shirts and can't find any that I like. All I want is a white undershirt that
1 stays white after washing
2 holds its own shape (especially in the collar)
3 is soft and wrinkle free (aka nicer looking than plain ol cotton)
Don't even bother with Hanes, Fruit of the Loom or anything like that. I have a Claiborne that is close but I'm sure you could find me the holy grail of undershirts. I just need one. If I like it I will stock up on my own dime. My size is XL. Good luck on your mission if you wish to accept it."
Never one to shy away from a clothing-related mission, I took to the web and Googled "best men's undershirts". Up came a digital edition of the men's magazine GQ with a Top 10 ranking. I then headed to Facebook and messaged a few of my more fashionable guy friends. I even found a blog devoted specifically to this one item: "The Undershirt Guy Blog." After gathering all the suggestions, I visited the e-commerce sites that sold each of the brands and styles recommended to check them out myself and price compare, keeping the tabs open for each one at the top of my computer screen so I could quickly toggle back and forth. I was done in an hour, settling on a style from RibbedTee.com. My brother loves his shirt and has since purchased three.
Exhibit B: The Case for Catalogs:
I'm endlessly annoyed at the amount of catalogs I receive in the mail in general. That annoyance triples around Nov. 1 at the start of the holiday season. They seem to multiply each week. But one caught my eye this December. Uncommon Goods.
You see, my other brother is slightly obsessed with 1940s and 1950s decor for this new home. He is picky to the point of OCD, spending hours scouring forums and blogs for such items as a perfectly restored Eames Lounge Chair. I cannot afford purchasing such pricey items, but I did want to get him something in my budget that would meet his standards and add a nice touch to his home. Paging through the Uncommon Goods catalog, I was pleasantly surprised with their healthy selection of retro and vintage goods in my price range. I headed online to UncommonGoods.com and found and even wider selection. I stumbled upon a set of coasters and a serving bowl made from real old vinyl records. Perfect. I was sold. And although I wasn't able to select the artists or albums and my brother isn't exactly a fan of "The Tennessee Waltz" by Patti Page, he loves the gift nonetheless.
Exhibit C: The Picky Eater:
My fiancé is one of the pickiest eaters I know. His meals rotate between french fries, chicken fingers, and ...french fries. Looking for a small stocking stuffer, I decided to get him the third type of food his palate won't reject, his favorite snack: sesame sticks. Those suckers are surprisingly hard to find. They aren't like Doritos or Snickers bars, gracing the aisles of every supermarket. I've found them occasionally in trail mixes, but those typically include other savory snacks my other half does not enjoy. I've found them at supermarket Jewel Osco once in awhile only to return to find they are out or no longer carry them. That's where Google and Nuts.com come in. A quick search led me to a one-pound bag and they were at my office in two days. They were gone, however, in one.
Exhibit D: A Special Request:
As I alluded to earlier, I am engaged and in full wedding-planning mode. My 3-year-old niece is going to be my flower girl, but at Christmastime, only her mother knew this. I wanted to find a special way to ask her that also incorporated her Christmas present. Thank you, Esty.com and your never-ending customizable selection of all things wedding-related. Scouring various offerings from independent designers (including a flask that the bride and bridesmaids could slip under a garter!), I found a lady who would make customized flower girl T-shirts complete with the flower girl's name. There were several options to tweak the design and I could pick the color of the script and the shirt. I called my sister-in-law who asked Aubrey her favorite color. While the designer didn't carry "rainbow" she did carry Aubrey's second-favorite color, purple. Done. A thoughtful gift that took less than one hour to find.

"Ninety-five days, and then I'll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It's hard to be patient. It's hard not to be afraid while I'm still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn't touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don't."
Lauren Oliver astonished readers with her stunning debut, Before I Fall. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it "raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful. An end as brave as it is heartbreaking." Her much-awaited second novel fulfills her promise as an exceptionally talented and versatile writer.
Also included is a sneak listen to the first chapter of the next book in the series. Enjoy!

I am so glad I ran across this book! YesterdayI was looking for something to listen to until Twice Tempted came out today. I stumbled across this series and talked to a friend to see if she had read it yet. She had not read it, but it WAS in her wish list. SO we decided to start at the same time. I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! By the third chapter I was hooked and couldnt sleep. I finished it this morning and have already bought the second audiobook.
I was HIGHLY impressed by the narrator, Sarah Drew. She showed the type of deep connection to this book that is rare to find. She really put her all into it. She is one of those narrators that can take a good book and make it fantastic! But in this case both writer AND narrator were spot on.
Your turn Lis!
"Engaging story, entertaining narration"
While a young adult novel, it certainly has plenty of questions to ponder for adults. I think the author did a wonderful job capturing the angst and emotionality of first love as did the narrator. I considered using it for a book club choice because I thought the discussions would have been quite interesting.
Other reviewers felt it may be too similar to other current popular YA fiction. I think good vs evil, adult vs teen, rebellion, governmental control, etc have always been themes seen in novels and the author does a great job of putting those to use in unique ways.
I wouldnt hesitate to listen to another of her books regardless of subject.
100% of the books I read are in audible format. I enjoy reading apocalyptic, WWII, psychology, classics, contemporary and non-fiction.
"Delicious Narration"
I loved this book -- the positive reviews are warranted. This is one of those books that falls into the category of "must listen to instead of reading" where I feel listening enhances the experience to the max. The narration was superb and the tone of Alex and Lena's voices -- so real and appealing. The concept is slightly dystopian, where love is not allowed in America (strictly enforced), which caught my attention. The storyline is not predictable, as it could easily be.....I thought I knew where it was headed, but I'd be proven wrong every time. Although a YA book -- definitely would appeal to those of ALL ages -- especially women --but I think boys and girls would enjoy it equally. What a great listen !
"Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them." --Lemony Snicket
"Excellent narration"
My colleague Emily recommended Delirium to me - it was one of her picks for the Best of 2011, and she raves about the book at every opportunity. While I didn't love the book as much as she does, I did find it entertaining. I was impressed with the concept - that love is a disease that everyone needs to be cured of - but found myself growing a bit impatient with our heroine, Lena, who took a little too long to put together that the government's restrictions were not in her best interest. And while the pace picked up in the last hour or so, which was exciting, it also accelerated Lena's transition from a young, naive girl to a mature enemy of the government in a forced way.
Despite these criticisms, I did enjoy the book - and, more importantly, I loved Sarah Drew's performance. She was able to channel all the different nuances of this full cast, and was especially chilling as Lena's already cured sister. Drew's performance alone might get me to check out the rest of this trilogy...
"You have to LISTEN to this one!"
I'm an adult who is a sucker for ya dystopian fiction, and this one has become one of my favs. To be honest, I'm not certain I would have enjoyed reading it as much as I loved listening to it. The narrator is wonderful - she brings Oliver's wonderfully descriptive prose to life. Can't wait for the next book!
Retired and retiring old Oirisher/Brit who has now escaped first to Atlanta, now living in Bourbon country in Kentucky.
"Wonderful narration, so romantic"
Who would have thought that this 62 year old geezah could enjoy YA novels? Turns out, I do. I ripped right through The Hunger Games and bought this one on a whim and the numerous good reviews.
The narrator just about took my breath away, what a wonderful talent. I don't know how old the reader is, but she sure sounds to my addled old head like a teenager ought.
There are sections in the second half, where the two lovers are recognizing the pace and power of their passion and melted me right away. Never heard Browning or Cummings quite like that, beautiful.
The pace tears along a bout de souffle.
I purchased the second part of what I believe to be a trilogy immediately upon finishing the first.
A cracking read, and a wonderful narrator.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Often tedious, but great cliffhanger ending"
STORY - Delirium is a YA book, but it also has some very mature themes. It was too immature for me at times, but overall it is an unusual and touching story. The romance is innocent and sweet, but the young characters are very strong. I did feel like the author described the dystopia and the "cured" people in Portland way, way too often. OMG, stop!
The second half of the book is much better than the first. The tension begins to build, and the action toward the end is very tense! Cliffhanger ending is frustrating but good. You will want to continue with the series.
NARRATION - The reader has a high-pitched voice, perfect for the young characters in the book. She does a great job portraying teenaged emotions, and I really liked the young male voice she gave to Alex.
OVERALL - Delirium wasn't awesome, but I recommend it mainly because I expect a lot from the rest of the trilogy.
I became a fan of Lauren Oliver with her last book Before I Fall. She provides a new perspective on time honored themes. If you enjoyed Before I Fall, I would recommend spending a credit on this book. It is well written and narrated. This is not a romance novel in my opinion, but more a commentary on the power of society and the things that can happen when we grant
our leaders too much authority. It illustrates how we can lose what is really important. It has a similar feel to Unwind by Neal Shusterman or Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. It could even be compared to Suzanne Collins Mockinjay series--though it is not action packed as that series but does make a similar statement about society. It is Lauren Oliver's twist on what could have happened had our society proceeded with the 'frontal lobotomy' mentality we once had.
I am a book junkie...I read and enjoy a variety of stories, so please don't "define me" by one book or review! :)
A great story from the uniquely talented Lauren Oliver. I find her style very poignant with a refreshing and novel approach to the themes explored. Sarah Drew's talented narration totally draws us in to Lena's mind and emotions as she faces a new reality and discovers a world beyond the carefully constructed and controlled "society" she has been brought up in. Very interesting dystopian premise that love is a "disease" that must be carefully prevented and controlled at all costs. A touching love story develops between the characters, and I am "holding my breath" for the next installment...please bring it on, Ms. Oliver!
So I agree with several reviewers - I don't really like Lena. Its hard for me to recommend a book where I can't get behind the heroine. There are some interesting moments, but the book is SLOW, painfully slow for those of us who are not buying the chemistry between Alex and Lena. I can't get into those quotes/thoughts/speeches about love, especially when the reader's voice impression of Alex, reminds me of Pauly Shore.You wont be TOTALLY disappointed, you will just be MEH. Then you will have to decide if the cliffhanger is enough to get you to use a credit on Pandemonium. I

August 4, 2011 —
As much as I love doling out my opinion on the various events happening throughout the Hudson Valley, there are times (believe it or not) that I look to the audience for inspiration. This past week offered a perfect opportunity to keep my mouth shut (yes, it's possible) and tune in to conversations heard 'round every corner. I managed to get my two cents in from time to time, but felt it prudent to hear what others had to say.
The Forestburgh Playhouse (www.FBplayhouse.org [2]) is currently presenting Alan Jones' "The Buddy Holly Story," a musical tribute to the late, great country-turned-Doo Wop master of all things "Peggy Sue." The show is packed with tidbits about Holly's life, his meteoric rise in the music scene of the late 1950s and his untimely death just as his star was reaching a zenith that few performers experience in an entire lifetime.
Musician/actor Todd Meredith embodies the spirit of Holly and croons his way into the hearts of the audience as the story unfolds. Performing more than 20 songs in Holly's repertoire, Meredith is assisted by the glowing talent of Bill Morey (who works that bass into a frenzy) Kyle Axman and Jerry Allison, with excellent turns by supporting players Kevin Confoy, Galyana Castillo and Ariana Sepulveda. The first act left the packed house breathless with anticipation.
Eavesdropping was fun, but I couldn't resist a few comments of my own. Hearing me wonder how the show would address Holly's untimely death in 1959, a horrified ticket holder took me aside, saying that I had just "ruined the ending" for her. I explained that I thought it was understood how the story ends, since (not unlike "Titanic") we took our seats knowing the ship would sink before the final curtain.
But the woman argued with me, insisting that J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson was very much alive and had not died in that fateful crash along with mega-star Richie Valens (portrayed with gyrating style by David Marmanillo). Not wanting to burst more bubbles, I admitted that I could be wrong (knowing full well that I was not) and promised not to give away any more plot points.
Now in his second season at the playhouse, Max Nussbaum (as the Bopper) embraced his role and rocked the house with a dead-on rendition of "Chantilly Lace," lending even more credence to the perception that these guys are still alive. Their music has never died.
While I enjoyed the ride, it was the audience reaction that really moved me, since the sold-out crowd was on its feet, clapping and singing along as the show reached it's crescendo, culminating in a rare standing ovation that was (IMHO) well deserved, an opinion that does not often cross my mind. Sheepishly avoiding my gaze, the gal whose bubble had been burst at intermission slinked out of the theatre, clearly loath to acknowledge that (for something completely different) my musical history lesson was correct.
Feeling that I was on to something, I veered off the road and into my seat at the Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center (www.bethelwoodscenter.org [3]) to learn more about '80s rock explosion The Goo Goo Dolls. Again, I observed more than participated as the seats filled for opening band Parachute and the wildly popular Michelle Branch, who performed fresh hits from her new album, before The Dolls hit the stage, electric guitars wailing.
Lead singer John Rzeznik (no clue how that is pronounced) illustrated what crowd pleasing is as the band rocked the pavilion with their unique brand of entertainment (translation: loud—really, really loud) as I adjusted my earplugs and came to understand why millions of fans are "Ga Ga for Goo Goo." Ingenuous and disarming, the band mates were in synch and I found myself digging the (slightly muffled) intricate sound.
"Thanks for being our friend for all these years" Rzeznik shouted to the audience, which encompassed generations. Ranging from teens to senior citizens, Goo Goo Dolls aficionados come in a variety of flavors, and I overheard several commenting on the scope and complexity of the bands' history, which has enjoyed a healthy run that shows no signs of slowing down.
I could have felt like a dinosaur at a show such as this, but thankfully did not, and have developed a new appreciation for '80s rock that I thought had passed me by. Grasping the fact that there are gaps in my musical education is good for me, but I am looking forward to upcoming shows at Bethel Woods featuring Janet Jackson and Elton John, since I suspect I'll be on firmer ground. All hail rock and roll!

Ball, Burkhead should be at best in Big 10 title game
Nebraska RB healthy after being hurt much of the season
Two of the Big Ten's best running backs will be on the field when Wisconsin and No. 14 Nebraska meet in Saturday night's conference championship game.
Wisconsin's Montee Ball has been at his best lately after a slow start.
Nebraska's Rex Burkhead is running strong after aggravating a knee sprain.
Ball, a 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist after rushing for 1,923 yards and 33 touchdowns, this week earned first-team All-Big Ten honors for the second straight year with 1,528 yards and 18 TDs.
Burkhead was a first-team All-Big Ten pick in 2011 after a 1,357-yard, 15-TD season. He sprained his left knee in the opener against Southern Mississippi, has aggravated the injury twice and appeared in only six games. He has 474 yards on 63 carries, a 7.5-yard average.

Our office loves the biotone gel, so when the organic version came out we were curious but skeptical. This gel definitely holds up the original but with much better ingredients. We love it and will continue to use indefinitely.
Used this when trading a massage with another therapist. You don't have to use a lot and the glide and friction against the skin is controlled and perfect . Feels great on the skin. Now will be my new product gel of choice!
I love this massage gel and so do my clients. I find it easy to use for Swedish or Deep tissue.
This is a velvety smooth gel that absorbs nicely and continues to give a nice easy glide throughout a massage.
Good gel for deep tissue work, provides grip and just enough glide. I like to use products that are organic and have a limited number of ingredients. I like that this is organic but does have quite a few oils blended so can be an issue for people with allergies. But over all I am very happy with it.

Police: Man shot in Danby dies, woman stabbed expected to surviveJune 17,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Vermont State Police investigate a shooting and stabbing Monday in Danby.
Staff Report
The stepmother of a Danby man who police said fatally shot a New York man Sunday night said the day after the incident that Michael White was only acting to defend his girlfriend and their children from harm.
"If he weren't there, he could have killed her. He defended his family," said Debbie White, the stepmother of Michael White, who police named Monday morning as the man who fatally shot Aaron Allen, 28, of Hudson Falls, N.Y.
Standing outside her home just hundreds of feet from the scene of the incident on John Corey Road, Debbie White said Allen had made repeated visits to the road and issued multiple threats.
"He said he was going to come up here and shoot everyone," Debbie White said of Allen.
The stepmother said that Michael White and his girlfriend, 22-year-old Heather Thompson, had been living together in a rented mobile home owned by her husband. The pair was fixing up the unit while raising two children, White's 6-year-old daughter and Thompson's 15-month-old daughter, who was fathered by Allen, according to Debbie White.
Allen, who police said had been shot twice by Michael White, was pronounced dead at Rutland Regional Medical Center. Thompson, who police said Allen stabbed multiple times, is being treated at the Rutland hospital and is expected to survive. Debbie White said Thompson had to undergo surgery and was recovering at the hospital Monday with Michael White by her side.
The stepmother added that Michael White was never taken into custody.
Police said they were called to a home on John Corey Road in Danby around 7:30 p.m. Sunday for a reported shooting and stabbing. Police said through an investigation they learned that Allen arrived at the home and attacked Thompson. Michael White, 24, of Danby, who was at the residence and is Thompson's current boyfriend, witnessed the attacked, according to police.
"White subsequently discharged a rifle, of an undetermined make and caliber, striking Allen twice," police wrote in a press release.
Police said the Thompson had an active restraining order from New York against Allen, and Allen also had pending criminal charges in New York involving the woman for an incident that took place in April for offenses including unlawful imprisonment.
Once the investigation is complete, police said, it will be forwarded to the Rutland County state's attorney's office for review.

I noticed that I was making lots more milk than my baby needed when he was about three months old (it had been going on for about a month by then) and started to block feed for 2 to 3 hours. I did get more yellow diapers in the morning and early afternoon but green and watery/sometimes mucus in early evening.
Now ALL his BM's are green! and have been for about two months! Even though he eats on one side per meal every 2-3 hours. I'm not feeling engorged between feedings anymore (full but still comfortable). He is in great shape though and growing like a weed (18lbs @ 5 months w/ a birth weight of 7.3 lbs).
Is it okay for him to still have green BM's? Could I still be over producing?

Gov. Susana Martinez will have three candidates to chose from when deciding who will replace retiring District Court Chief Judge Teddy Hartley following a sometimes dramatic session Friday of a special judicial nominating commission.
The candidates picked by the panel include former two-term Clovis City Commissioner and assistant district attorney Fred Van Soelen, Assistant District Attorney Brian Stover and Portales attorney Wesley Pool.
The names of the three finalists were revealed in a motion by Portales attorney Randy Knudson following about a half hour of closed deliberations. Most of the three-hour session in Hartley's courtroom was open to the public, and included questions from each member of the panel to each of the candidates.
The only other candidate for Hartley's job, Public Defender Christian Christiansen of Portales, wasn't selected after facing some of the session's toughest questions, initiated by District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Chandler, appointed to the panel by the governor, noted Christiansen pleaded to a misdemeanor in 2007 for advising a client to violate terms of their probation. The governor, then-district attorney in Dona Ana County, served as a special prosecutor in the Christiansen case.
Christiansen responded that if he had to do it over again, he would have handled the situation differently. Christiansen insisted, however, that his client's bond had been revoked when he advised her how to avoid a bondsmen waiting outside his office, telling her there was another door out.
Panel member Mark Sweetman, a Clovis attorney, said it appeared while Christiansen pleaded guilty to the charge, he was now saying he did nothing illegal.
"I did accept a plea," said Christiansen, his wife and three daughters listening from the audience. "Did I approach the situation right? I did not. Did I break the law? I feel I did not.
"The situation could have been handled better," Christiansen said. "Should have been handled better."
In retrospect, Christiansen said, he should have talked to the bondsmen to try and resolve the issue.
"I made a mistake," Christiansen said. "I'm not dodging that."
Clovis attorney Sarah Field asked Stover how he planned to handle public perception should he be picked by Martinez to succeed Hartley. Wright noted that should Stover be picked, it would mean Judge Stephen Quinn would be the only 9th Judicial District Judge who hadn't first worked in Chandler's office
"As a judge I would be independent of District Attorney Matt Chandler," Stover said. Stover also said he would need to get involved in more community activities to "let people know who you are and what you believe in."
In a lighter moment, Chandler also acknowledged that many of the 9th District judges first served in his office. Chandler added that he was asking the judiciary to please "stop fishing in my pond," provoking laughter through much of the courtroom.
Panel member John Chavez of Clovis, appointed by New Mexico's speaker of the House of Representatives Ken Martinez, a Democrat, asked Stover how well he knew Republican governor Martinez.
Stover said he was introduced to the governor and spoke with her momentarily during a recent political function in Clovis.
"I wouldn't say I know Susana Martinez, no," Stover said.
Martinez has 30 days to select one of the three final candidates to replace Hartley, who plans to retire later this month.

Of rats and hitmenJune 20,2013It all depends how you look at it, really.
One mans hit man is anothers humanitarian.
Johnny The Executioner Martorano, who turned government witness and copped to killing 20 men and women as part of Whitey Bulgers Winter Hill Gang, explained to Whiteys lawyer Tuesday in federal court here that he was motivated by love of family and friends.
I didnt enjoy killing anybody, he said. I enjoyed helping a friend if I could.
If anybody insulted, implicated or roughed up his brother or a friends brother, if anybody looked at him funny while he was with a date, if anybody ratted on his fellow gang members, if anybody could eyewitness a crime committed by an associate, he grabbed a .38 or a knife, a fake beard, a walkie-talkie or a towel to keep the blood off his car, and sprang into action. And somebody usually ended up in a trunk somewhere, sometimes still groaning.
Family and friends come first, said the bulldog-faced enforcer, looking natty with slicked back, suspiciously black hair, a dark suit, pink-tinted wire-rim glasses and a kerchief the color of fresh blood. The priests and the nuns I grew up with taught me that. They always talked about Judas. A Judas is the worst person in the world.
The 72-year-old Cambridge native did not look at his former pal, the short, trim 83-year-old Bulger of South Boston, sitting military straight at the defense table, and Bulgers ice-blue eyes did not turn toward him.
So many Judases, so little time.
Whitey sees Martorano as a Judas for making a deal with the feds and testifying against the Irish gang boss, whos pleading not guilty to involvement in 19 murders. Martorano sees Whitey as a Judas for his years as a snitch for John Zip Connolly, a Boston FBI agent who was a Judas to the FBI because he helped Whitey steer clear of trouble. (They were from the same ZIP code.) Whiteys younger brother, William, who rose to be a political boss in Massachusetts, was a mentor to Connolly when he was a young man.
Martorano testified Monday that when he learned that Whitey and Stevie The Rifleman Flemmi were FBI informants, it sort of broke my heart. They were his childrens godfathers, and his youngest son, James Stephen, was named for them.
In a gravelly monotone, with utter aplomb, Martorano talked about those he had taken out with a shot to the temple or heart, between the eyes or in the back of the head plus several who were hit by mistake, including a teenage boy and girl. In a sneering cross-examination Tuesday, Henry Brennan, a lawyer on Whiteys defense team, referred to Martoranos deal for a so-called sentence of 14 years (12 served) for 20 murders and asked the Executioner if he felt he was killing out of honor and integrity.
I thought both, Martorano replied.
Brennan sarcastically asked, And that makes you a vigilante like Batman?
I would rather be considered as a vigilante than a serial killer, Martorano answered, adding: A serial murderer kills for fun. They like it. I didnt like doing any of it. I didnt like risking my life either. I never had any joy, never had any joy at all.
He doesnt consider himself a hit man either, even though the book he wrote with the Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr, which has been sold to Hollywood, is called Hitman.
There was no talk about money for murder, ever, he said primly.
On the lam in Florida from charges of horse-race fixing and racketeering, he flew to Tulsa, Okla., in 1981 to kill a stranger, Roger Wheeler, the owner of World Jai Alai, as a favor to his friend John Callahan, who had been president of World Jai Alai and who was worried that Wheeler suspected him of skimming money from jai alai frontons. (Martorano described the sport as a game they throw a racket around, a ball around, a Spanish game, I believe.)
He shot Wheeler in his car at a country club after he came off the golf course, and Callahan rewarded the Executioner with $50,000 for the Winter Hill pot. But it was not a quid pro kill, Martorano explained with gangsta gall: He gave me that money in appreciation for me risking my life for him so that he wouldnt go to jail.
The following year, his old friends Whitey and Stevie wanted Martorano to kill his new friend Callahan and blame it on the Cubans in Miami; they were afraid Callahan, whom they considered a wannabe gangster, would fold and finger the gang for killing Wheeler. Martorano later said he felt lousy about having to kill a guy who I had just killed a guy for. It was so distasteful, he said, that he never murdered anyone else. (He slyly hinted on 60 Minutes that he might make an exception for Whitey.)
The lawyers did their best to make sure everyone understood the criminal argot peppering the testimony.
They had Martorano explain the meaning of a boiler (a stolen car), a crash car (a car that can slow down or bump a police car), a throw-off (planting evidence to throw off the investigation to go a different direction) and even a gang.
What was a gang? asked the prosecutor.
A group of guys that got together and formed a gang, Martorano replied.
For what purpose? the prosecutor asked.
Illegal purposes, the Executioner explained.

Tagg Romney, Voting Machines And Ohio 'In Context'
By Tamara Keith • Nov 2, 2012
Social media and the liberal blogosphere have raised questions about a Texas-based voting system company's connections to several fundraisers for Mitt Romney and Romney's son Tagg. Further stirring concern, the voting systems are used in two counties in Ohio. We look at the issue in the latest installment of our series In Context. Tamara Keith talks to Audie Cornish.

White Christmas is fairly uncommon in London and parts of the UK, so rare the fact it only happens once every decade or so the climate is gradually getting warmer and drier, I must say it's a drought-thirsty Christmas. The island needs to fill its tank.
Christmas Day is a day for gathering families and friends together, a unity of between neighbouring countries and cultures from all religions, forgiveness and unhate, share old hopes into new hopes – no more wars, shake hands, move forward and lastly world peace.
Happy Holidays and roll on 2012!

Girls on the Run shows positive resultsJune 16,2014Photo by Josh Hummel
Girls on the Run participants jubilantly cross the finish line at the Rutland 5K event.Ive written a lot about the need for opportunities in Rutland County for girls and women to become empowered, and I always have my eye out for new ones.
I recently heard about Girls on the Run, an organization that aims to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun curriculum that integrates running. The 12-week after-school program is for third- through eighth-grade girls. It helps them develop self-esteem, a positive body image, healthy habits and strategies for dealing with lifes challenges.
Part of the idea is to keep girls from thinking they need to conform to certain societally imposed standards in order to be happy and successful. Evidence-based evaluations of the program have shown a significant improvement in the girls body image, eating attitudes and self-esteem as a result of the program.
The Rutland area teams held their walk/run event May 31 at the fairgrounds. The turnout was impressive more than 800 girls who were program participants and 600 members of the community. Girls from the Rutland area have been involved in the program for more than 10 years, but the first Rutland 5K happened last year. Before that, the girls from this area participated in either the Brattleboro or Essex events.
In a unique twist, the girls can choose to walk, run, skip, jump or even dance their way along the route and across the finish line. Instead of being competitive, the focus is on setting and reaching goals, team building, maintaining a positive attitude and building strong, supportive relationships.
The event also provides girls an opportunity to raise money to provide scholarships for those who otherwise could not afford to participate in the program. Last year, more than $70,000 was raised statewide to help participants afford the program and to award small scholarships to several graduating seniors who were previous program participants.
Leading up to the 5K event, the teams of eight to 15 girls meet twice weekly to gain a better understanding of who they are and whats important to them. They also explore how they can positively connect with and shape the world around them. Each team is required to create and execute a local community service project that empowers them to make a difference.
When asked about the outcomes the organization has seen in Rutland, executive director Nancy Heydinger was very enthusiastic. We love Rutland and are so amazed at how popular the program is with families in the area. This year we had over 800 girls participating, and every one learned important skills that will help them grow up to be strong, healthy, confident, compassionate young women. Its all about honoring and celebrating their individual uniqueness.
Regarding the support that Girls on the Run has received from the Rutland community, Heydinger was equally positive. Last year Governor Shumlin and Mayor Louras spoke at the inaugural 5K, she reflected, and this year Superintendent Mary Moran said some wonderfully inspiring words to the girls before the 5K began. She also served as our honorary 5K starter and cheered the girls on at the finish line with me. Were very grateful to have so much support from the school district, local businesses, families and Rutland residents overall. We cant wait to come back next year!
Parents are encouraged to get involved with Girls on the Run. Along with helping their child register, providing transportation and just plain being supportive, parents can also choose to volunteer as coaches for the teams.
There are more than 140 program sites in Vermont. To find one near you, visit the Girls on the Run website at www.girlsontherunvermont.org or call 246-1476. With only two volunteer coaches, you can start a new team in your area if one does not exist. Coach training happens in January and February, and the program starts up again in March 2015. Girls on the Run also encourages businesses to sponsor this valuable programming.

Dear Committee Chair and Cubmaster:
Let's talk about one of the key elements of all successful packs and an indicator of a potentially successful year. Of course that would be the Pack's Annual Program Plan and Planning Conference.
A research project done by Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, Indiana, showed that a common element of strong packs is they all have a good annual pack program planned a year in advance that is then shared with all families in the form of a calendar. The important result of a shared annual program calendar is that your pack will attract more families, and Cub Scouts will stay for a long time.
Just as an aside, the other two key elements of successful packs identified in that study was training and just having the right leader to start with.
Here is how a pack program planning conference works. A month or two before the scheduled face-to-face conference, the committee chair and Cubmaster gather the following information:
To maximize the efficiency of your planning, the following people should attend conference.
If you choose, you can use a new electronic program planning conference guide for a pack to add some color to the process. This narrated PowerPoint presentation, which takes the pack step-by-step through the planning process, can be found here:
The result is an annual calendar and plan that all parties agree upon.
Here's a quick rundown of the steps.
Before you start the planning process: Explain to the group the importance of annual program planning, why you are doing it and the rules for the process during this meeting.
Step 1: This part is easy. Just take the dates you collected and put them into your pack's master calendar—including den meeting dates—either on a hard copy or by plugging the information into an electronic calendar on a computer. An electronic template can be found at the following link:
Step 2: Before you begin rounding out the master calendar with things you want to do, review what the pack did last year. You might even want to write what you come up with on a flip chart or dry erase board. Ask yourself questions like, what events went well, what events didn't go so well? Did we earn the National Summertime Pack Award? The Journey to Excellence Award? How did we do with den and pack attendance? Did we participate in Cub Scout day camp or family camp? Did we sell popcorn?
Feel free to ask as many questions as you want, but don't spend too much time on this, as the key issue is planning the upcoming year. Just use this research to help guide what you might want to keep, replace, or improve.
Step 3: Do some brainstorming on activities your pack might want to do in addition to den and pack meetings. This could be things such as a blue and gold banquet, pinewood derby, family picnic, first-aid training, pet show, and so on. Remember the brainstorming rule, which is anybody can suggest anything without critique or criticism. Feedback and analysis come later, after all the ideas have been captured. Once you have a list of things your dens and pack might want to do, start prioritizing the list. Is a particular activity something for dens or the pack as a whole? Could the activity be incorporated into a den or pack meeting? And so on.
Take a vote on which activities to include on the den and pack meeting schedule, then add the activities to your calendar.
Step 4: By now, the calendar should be taking shape. It should include school and community dates, holidays, some personal conflict dates, den and pack meetings, additional den and pack activities, and district and council dates. The next step is to assign the person who will be responsible for each event, as well as den responsibilities at pack meetings. This would include names, like "Bob Smith" will be the chair for the blue and gold banquet.
If you are really ambitious, you can even put in event details such as, "Bob will send invitation and assignments to each family by January 1," and, "By November 1, we will get confirmation from the school we can use the cafeteria." Remember that good planning and preparation will lead to family satisfaction. Some of this might have to come after your program planning conference, if you choose activities now and have to recruit chairs later. However, if you know you will be doing some activities again such as your blue and gold banquet, you might already have a commitment from "Bob" by the time the program planning conference happens.
Step 5: You're almost finished. The final step is to review your annual plan to ensure you have captured everything you and your families want to do in the upcoming year. Once you feel comfortable, publish or email your annual plan to each family. A reminder that not everyone has an email account, so be sure your distribution reaches all families. They will feel much more a part of your pack and be able to plan their own family calendar with the pack's calendar in hand. Sharing the annual plan with your families could be the most important step in retaining your Scouts and building tenure, so don't shortcut this one.
Step 6: Annual program planning is an ongoing process. Review the plan each month at your pack leaders' meeting to make sure you are still on track, to recruit chairs and other help, you participate in important meetings, or to make assignments or changes as needed.
A great pack program plan leads to a great pack and den program, which leads to Cub Scouts and their families staying and growing in Scouting.
Good luck! You are taking a big step toward being a great pack!
These tools should make it easier to have up-to-date newsletters and calendars ready when you need them.
Pack calendar templates (Excel). Fill in dates and events in the spaces provided. Save and print or email. It's that easy! When you first know about an addition or change to pack activities, add that to the calendar so it will always be up-to-date and ready to print or send.
Pack newsletter template (Excel). Save the template file, then "Save As" for your first newsletter. This file includes two worksheets (see tabs at the bottom of the screen). Enter the information you want in the newsletter in the "Type Information Here" worksheet. Save the file. Then go to the "View&Print Newsletter" tab to see if the newsletter is as you want it to be. Make any changes on the "Type Information Here" worksheet.* When the newsletter is as you want it, save the file and then print it. If you plan to email the file, first delete the "Type Information Here" worksheet so that the recipients will get only the "View&Print Newsletter."
*Note: The worksheets are protected without a password to allow changes only in certain cells and prevent mistakes. To learn how to change those protected cells in your version of Microsoft Excel®, search for "protection" in the Excel help section. We recommend that after you make the intended changes, you protect the worksheet to prevent unintended changes.)

As you may have experienced yourself, most of the hospitals and clinics built in the 20th century were not designed for the healing of patients and comfort of family. Consider, for example, how the focus of many hospital rooms is the somewhat frightening medical equipment, while the halls throughout are painted in practical, but depressing hospital green with noisy, but easy-to-clean linoleum floors.
Some people have even compared these settings to prison: an institutional environment with few concessions to aesthetics, where furthermore, personal clothes and effects are taken away and the inmate/patient has few choices about what happens. It is often a dehumanizing environment that runs counter to healing.
However, this is beginning to change as healthcare moves towards a more patient-centered and holistic model.
Moreover, evidence points to the real benefits of healthcare facilities designed around patient, family, and staff needs and preferences.These benefits not only improve patient outcomes and increase staff effectiveness and morale, they also help administrators meet key safety goals, reduce costs, and increase market share. They include:
The Institute of Medicine [9] (IOM) has published a number of reports that stress the importance of improving quality and safety in healthcare settings. Research demonstrates that design that is patient-, family-, and staff-focused does much to meet IOM goals and improve quality and safety.
Currently many hospitals and other healthcare facilities, such as long-term care facilities are being constructed to replace those at the end of their life and to meet the demand as the baby boomer population grows older. Many of these are designed according to a new understanding of the healing environment [10] and the research behind evidence-based design.
Clinics are also beginning to change, not least because the American healthcare system can no longer afford a system that focuses on disease-based care. Healthcare is beginning to recognize the central place that wellbeing [11] of mind, body, and spirit plays in health.
Springing from this, clinics are realizing that a healing environment can contribute greatly to the wellbeing of patients coming in for procedures or to manage a chronic disease.
In addition, as healthcare consumers become more aware of their choices, healthcare organizations hope to attract their business with a welcoming environment. The physical setting is the patient's first impression of a healthcare facility and one of the most important factors in the patient's perceptions of the quality of care and their overall satisfaction.
The Center for Health Design [12] is a non-profit research organization that advocates for change in healthcare design. Its mission is to "transform healthcare settings into healing environments that improve outcomes through the creative use of evidence-based design."
The Center summarized the available research in this area in its 2004 publication, The Role of the Physical Environment in the Hospital of the 21st Century, which suggests that evidence-based design positively impacts the following factors in healthcare organizations:
The Center created an agenda for research in this area, out of which grew the Pebble Project, so called because the research conducted in individual hospitals has a ripple effect throughout the healthcare industry as results show important benefits.
Planetree [13] was started by a patient after her less-than-positive experience in a hospital, and it has had a major influence in moving patient-centered care into the mainstream of healthcare today. The organization has created a model for patient-centered care that lists nine elements:
The Planetree research shows these changes result in an increase in patient satisfaction and decrease in patient length of stay. They also result in increased staff retention and ability to recruit new staff.
One of the biggest trends in new hospital construction and renovations is the move to single rooms. There are many reasons for a hospital to move exclusively to single rooms, not the least is the greatly reduced risk of infection. Single rooms remove the roommate as a source of infection and are easier to clean. In addition, some evidence indicates that staff wash hands more often in single rooms.
Single rooms also offer:
The evidence for the benefit of single rooms is strong, so if you have any choice in the matter, get a single room.
Below is a list of other trends in new and renovated hospitals and the reasons behind them:
One of the key factors driving changes in healthcare is the concept of patient-centered care. In this new approach, patients are treated with dignity and their needs for privacy and individual expression respected. Likewise, patients are informed about their clinical status, progress, and prognosis, and their test results and treatments are clearly explained.
Patients and their families are seen as partners in decisions about treatment and care, and their concerns are addressed. They are offered options including access to complementary therapies and healing practices.
Increasingly hospitals and other healthcare facilities are offering an integrative care approach, where complementary therapies are available to help patients cope with the effects of their disease or condition.
For example, Woodwinds Hospital in Minnesota offers massages to women in labor to promote relaxation. At Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, nurses use guided imagery [16] with patients before surgery to reduce emotional symptoms such as anxiety and fear, and physical symptoms such as rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, and high blood pressure. At North Hawaii hospital, nurses offer Healing Touch both before and after surgery.
It is not uncommon to find various complementary therapies available at hospitals, either as part of nursing care, or as an extended service. Therapies offered include: Reiki [3], Healing Touch [4], aromatherapy [5], massage [6], acupuncture [17], imagery [7], music therapy, and other creative therapies [18], such as art therapy.
Another beneficial change is a renewed recognition of the importance of nutrition. Planetree hospitals offer patients a menu that they can order from when they are hungry, and the healthy, tasty food is cooked to order (as opposed to hospital meals delivered at set times).

Verification is the process whereby the Office of Financial Aid verifies that the information on your FAFSA matches the data reported on your tax returns. The government requires that at least 30% of all FAFSA filers be selected for verification and most of the time the government selects people at random. However, we reserve the right to select students for verification as well. Click here for the 2015-2016 verification forms.
Do I really need to respond to this request? How do I send you the information? Why do I need to give you this information? Isn't it on the FAFSA Form? Will my information be kept confidential? How long do I have to respond?Do you really need all of the pages of my (and my parent's) federal tax transcript? What if I (or my parents) don't have a copy of the federal tax transcript and/or W-2s? What if my parents don't want to give me a copy of their federal tax transcript? Once I've sent the Office of Student Aid a copy of the verification forms, taxes, and W-2s, I'm done, right? What if I (or my parents) have applied for an extension to file our tax return? What if I didn't file a federal tax return? How will I know if you have received my paperwork? How long will the review take? Will I be notified when the verification is complete? Will my financial aid be affected? How do I know who to include on the Household Verification return? My parents are divorced. Whose information do I include? I am an independent student (as defined on the FAFSA) and someone other than a spouse provides support for me. Do I include that on the FAFSA? Am I required to submit my stepfather's (or stepmother's) information for the verification? What if they don't support me financially? What if a prenuptial agreement states that my stepfather (or stepmother) is not required to support me financially and/or contribute to my college education? What if my parents don't support me? What if I need help completing the verification forms?
The U.S. Department of Education requires that you comply with our requests for financial information. If you do not complete and return all the requested information within 30 days, the YU Office of Financial Aid is required to cancel your financial aid. Completion of verification is necessary to remain eligible for both federal aid and also for most types of YU scholarships.
Back to Top
Be sure all forms are complete and that you have included all requested information and documents before you submit the paperwork to the OFA. Mail the completed forms, signed federal tax returns, and W-2s and any other supplemental information to:
Office of Financial AidYeshiva University500 West 185th St. FH 121New York, NY 10033
Or fax the documents to: 212-960-0037You may also drop the information off in person at:
Office of Financial AidYeshiva University500 West 185th st.Furst Hall 121New York, NY 10033
The U.S. Department of Education requires that YU verify a certain percentage of our students. Students and families must provide the Office of Financial Aid with the financial information necessary to complete the verification.
The purpose of the process is to allow the Office of Financial Aid to collect the documents necessary to verify that the information reported on the FAFSA is correct. If any information is incorrect, the Office of Financial Aid must make corrections and submit the corrections to the Department of Education for reprocessing.
You and your family agreed to provide financial information when you completed the FAFSA. Everyone who signs the FAFSA agrees to "If asked, provide information that will verify the accuracy of your completed form."
Yes; all of your financial information, including your federal tax returns, will be kept confidential. However, if corrections are necessary, the Office of Financial Aid will transmit them electronically to the U.S. Department of Education.
You must complete all forms and return them to the Office of Financial Aid by the deadline stated on the verification forms. Be sure that all forms are appropriately signed. You must include with the completed verification forms signed copies of current federal income tax returns for you and your parents, if you are a dependent student (or for you and your spouse, if you are an independent student). All schedules (all pages) of the tax returns must be submitted. Additionally, you must submit copies of all W-2s for the requested tax year.
Yes. You must submit a copy of all pages of the federal tax transcript, including all schedules (such as Schedules B, C, C-EZ, D, E, F, J, and SE) and all supplementary forms. The Office of Financial Aid needs a complete federal tax transcript to conduct our review. We do not, however, need copies of state income transcript.
You must immediately notify the Office of Financial Aid. Also, you must immediately request copies of your W-2s from your employers (who are required by law to provide an additional copy) and/or contact the Internal Revenue Service (toll-free 1-800-829-1040) or www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript to obtain a copy of their federal tax transcript.
Your parents may submit a copy of their tax transcript directly to the Office of Financial Aid. Though we prefer that your parent's tax transcript be enclosed with your other completed verification forms, it can be submitted separately. However, they must write your YU ID on each page of the return so that we can match it with the rest of your verification paperwork.
Not necessarily. After reviewing the documents you submitted we may need to request additional information and/or documentation to resolve any discrepancies. You must respond to these requests for additional information within two weeks.
As instructed by the verification forms, submit to the Office of Financial Aid a copy of your Form 4868 (the request for an extension to file a federal return). You (and/or your parents) must immediately submit the federal tax transcript as soon as the extension expires.
If federal regulations did not require that you (or your parents) file a return, you will need to request a Verification of Non-Filing Letter from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript. If you (or your parents) were required to file a federal tax return but did not, you must file immediately and submit a copy to the Office of Financial Aid to remain eligible for financial aid. Failure to comply with federal tax law will force the Office of Financial Aid to cancel your financial aid.
You can check MYYU for the message "verification documents received.
Typically, documents are reviewed within two weeks of receipt. However, the Office of Financial Aid may request additional documents and/or information. You must respond to these additional requests within two weeks.
You will not be sent an e-mail, but you can check MYYU for the message "verification complete."
It is possible that your aid will be affected. The awards most likely to be affected are any Federal Pell Grants, Federal Academic Competitiveness Grants, and the Federal SMART Grants. These awards may increase or decrease. If you under-reported your income or assets on the FAFSA, the above awards are likely to be reduced or cancelled. Other federal aid, FSEOG Grants, Stafford and Perkins Loans, and YU scholarships could also be affected.
Most of the time â€" though not always â€" the people listed as exemptions on your federal income tax return (or your parent's, if you are a dependent student) qualify as members of the household.
For dependent students:
The student and the parents with whom they reside always count as members of the household. Brothers and sisters of the student also count, if the parents provide more than 50% of their support (though they may not necessarily live with your parents). Other people count as part of the household if they lived with the student's parents last year, will continue to do so from July 1 this year to June 30 next year, and will receive more than 50% of their support from the student's parents.
For independent students:
The student and their spouse (as long as they are not separated or divorced) always count as members of the household. Other people count as part of the student's household if they lived with the student last year, will continue to do so from July 1 this year to June 30 next year, and will receive more than 50% of their support from the student and/or the student's spouse.
You should include the information for the parent with whom you lived for most of the year. This is typically the custodial parent. If your custodial parent has remarried you must also include the financial information for the new spouse. If your non-custodial parent contributed money to you (for your education or otherwise) it must be included as your (you, the student) other untaxed income. If the non-custodial parent does not provide any financial support to you at all, then they are excluded from the FAFSA data.
Include the information only if they provide money to you as support. If they are providing "support in kind" (i.e. housing or food) then it does not need to be included.
Yes, you must include your stepparent's information on the verification forms and submit copies of their federal income tax returns and W-2s. The U.S. Department of Education requires that you submit all requested information for the parent(s) with whom you live and also anyone married to the parent with whom you live. You must comply with the Office of Financial Aid's requests whether or not the stepparent provides any financial support.
You must still submit that stepparent's financial information. Neither pre-nuptial agreements nor any other sort of legal agreement release a stepparent from the obligation to provide financial information necessary to complete verification. Of course, simply submitting information for verification in no way obliges your stepparent to support you or to pay for your education. They are simply providing information that will be used to determine your financial need.
If, according to federal guidelines, you are a dependent student, your parents must submit any and all financial information requested by the Office of Financial Aid, regardless of whether or not they support you or intend to continue supporting you.
You can contact the Office of Financial Aid by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at 212-960-5399. You may visit us in person between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Furst Hall, room 121.
