Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Mortgage Applications in U.S. Rose 0.9% Last Week on RefinancingLorraine Woellert
Mortgage applications in the U.S. climbed for the third consecutive week as a drop in interest rates spurred refinancing.
The Mortgage Bankers Association's applications index increased 0.9 percent in the period ended May 16 after a 3.6 percent gain the week before, the Washington-based group said today. The refinancing gauge jumped 3.8 percent to the highest level since the week ended March 14. The purchase-applications measure fell 2.8 percent.
The average rate on a 30-year fixed loan declined to 4.33 percent last week, the lowest since November, from 4.39 percent the prior week. The average on a 15-year mortgage fell to 3.43 percent from 3.48 percent.
The share of applicants seeking to refinance climbed to 52 percent, the highest level since March, from the prior week's 50.3 percent, today's report showed.

Save for its mere presence as a professional outdoor lacrosse team in central Ohio, the Ohio Machine has delivered few victories to its fans at Delaware's Selby Stadium since its inaugural season in 2012.
The Machine won just four of 28 games during its first two seasons in Major League Lacrosse. The team enters its home opener tonight against the New York Lizards with a modest 1-2 record, but also with a brand-new attitude.
"The biggest difference is last year we were going into games hoping we could win," general manager John Algie said. "This year, we're going into games knowing we can win."
The Machine was built to take its lumps early, stockpiling talented but inexperienced players. Those players aren't so raw anymore, and three cycles of high draft picks and player-pool pickups have begun to pay dividends. The Machine's roster includes three Tewaarton Trophy winners — the college equivalent of the Heisman Trophy — including two of the past three (Steele Stanwick and Peter Baum).
Only the Lizards (38 goals) have scored more goals than the Machine (36), which is coming off narrow road losses at Denver (14-12) and Florida (10-9).
The Machine is the only MLL team yet to play a home game.
"The first three games — it's like we score a big goal and it's just dead-quiet," Machine coach Bear Davis said. "I think our fans are ready to be there, in full charge in support, and I think our guys will feed off that. That's nice to have when you're getting into game four and you finally get that."
Machine goalie Scott Rodgers, who left the game against Florida in the second quarter after suffering an ankle injury, should be back in the lineup tonight, Davis said. Rodgers is tied for second in the league in save percentage (.609).
The Machine's goal differential (plus-6) is second only to first-place Denver.
"There are a couple of games there that we'd like to have back," Baum said. "Coming home and trying to get back to .500, this is a monster game for us."

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers For July 28 & 29.
EJ recalls more of the details of his attack and gabs to Taylor about them. "Why would Melanie have been there?" she asks. "That's what I'm trying to find out," he tells her, assuring her that he won't be doing anything nasty to the nurse. Taylor tips Mel off before Elvis can start interrogating her in a bid to incriminate Brady. Mel doesn't tell him much. Nicole is busy telling Brady how great it would be if they both left Salem behind. He's nearly willing to run with that premise until he hears that EJ is getting his memory back. He refuses to leave Mel to face the consequences and decides to get a gun.
After realizing that Abby had suspicions about Carly's addiction, Mel explodes at her. "You don't keep that a secret! Does that make sense, Abigail?" Mel bellows as she and Dario search for her missing mom. Meanwhile, Abby's boyfriend gets a surprising apology. Charles shows up and tries to mend things with his former son. He continues his good deeds by fighting to get Bo demoted from the job of commissioner. It doesn't take much and Bo winds up being partners with Hope again.
Although they aren't getting along, Jenn and Daniel try putting their squabbling aside to find Carly after she's gone missing. Some dude finds her passed out in the alley and is about to attack her when Quinn shows up and takes her back to his place. He cleans her up and she starts telling him about her drug problem as the Salem PD get involved in searching for her.

I love the title of your novel, Echolocation, evoking a bat or dolphin's sensory experience of identifying the relative positions of other objects and beings in the world. I thought it beautifully captures the way your characters felt their way through the novel – on instinct, and sometimes without clear vision. What was your inspiration for the novel and the title – did the concept of echolocation spark the idea for the novel? Did the story give rise to the title?
Thank you. The title came as the novel was coming together. At first it was specific to one of the characters (who has since been cut from the book), but over time, the metaphor became universal to all of the characters and from there came the title.
As for the inspiration, that came from [characters] Cheri and Geneva. When I began, the first two chapters were actually one short story. I wrote the story for the Tin House writers workshop that I attended in 2006. My workshop leader was the inspiring and generous writer and teacher, Dorothy Allison. She kept my story for the last story of the last day. I thought maybe this meant she was ambivalent about it. I was wrong. She praised it highly and told me I should keep going with these characters. She suggested I write a novel using them.
I went home and a couple of months later got to work on the novel and never looked back.
Your characters in Echolocation are flawed and damaged people, souls that have lost their way, and the plot itself takes some rather dark turns. Such characters and stories don't appeal to everyone, but some of us love them – what do you think draws some readers to them, and others not? What draws you to write them?
Great question. I can only speak for myself as a reader. What draws me to such characters and stories in what I read is, yes, that they are dark and unlikable, but also that they are real to me. I can relate to them. My life story has sometimes been dark. I can certainly be and have been unlikable at times. I can also be forgiving and optimistic. So what I am drawn to is the complexity that makes us human. I'm guessing, then, that the readers who appreciate such stories and characters are like me in knowing and acknowledging the dark places within their lives and within their hearts.
As a writer, I tend to write from the perspective that life is complex and not always sunny. I write from the perspective that we have dark moments where there is an opportunity for light. Some of us are broken but pull ourselves up and some of us are broken and lost forever.
My writing road has been long and bumpy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It runs parallel to the road of my life.
I noticed in your credits you have written both fiction and non-fiction – what has your "writer's road" been like? When did you first know you were a writer?
I've known I wanted to be a writer since I was a child. As a teenager I wrote stories, but I didn't really believe that writing creatively was a possibility for me until I was an undergraduate and met the woman who would be my first writing mentor. I approached her about writing an senior honors project and she asked me, "Have you ever thought of writing a novel?" I had thought of it but had never dared say it out loud. That day, though, I said yes. As such, we spent my senior year working on my first (unpublished) novel. We met once a week, when I would turn in the ten pages I'd written since I last saw her and she would go over her feedback from the previous week's pages. One of the many valuable things I learned from her was how to give and receive feedback. It need not be a battle. It's all about opening yourself up to taking it or leaving it.
After I finished writing the novel, she helped me get an agent, who then started shopping it. I don't remember what most of the feedback was other than one editor calling it, "relentlessly depressing" (which still cracks me up). By that time, I was in grad school, studying literature. I still intended to write but MFA programs were few and far between back then and I wanted to further my grounding in literature. Long story short, I finished all of my grad school coursework but never my thesis (I'll get back to this later), and then spent the next several years having several crazy, interesting, and low-paying jobs. I kept up working at writing on the side, doing freelance projects (hence some of the non-fiction credits), and I was writing in my journal and pecking away at stories.
It wasn't until my mother died 11 years ago that I took back to creative writing with full commitment, as I always hoped I would. I wrote one horrendously bad (unpublished, thank god) novel and then focused back on short stories for a while. I joined Zoetrope Virtual Studio and met some terrific writers, many of whom are my friends to this day. There I learned about flash fiction and ezines and the world sort of opened up. I saw possibilities where before there had been boundaries.
Over time, I started going to physical workshops over the summer–I went to Squaw Valley, twice and Tin House, once–and received some wonderful encouragement. While I was working on my third (unpublished) novel, I pulled together a story collection. With that story collection, I was able to sign with my agent. When I turned in my third novel manuscript, she provided feedback and I revised. I could definitely tell the difference between this third novel and the first two. I felt that I had grown.
Then I wrote Echolocation, which is my fourth novel. As Penn, my agent, was shopping it. I started work on my fifth novel, which is waiting to be revised right now.
My writing road has been long and bumpy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It runs parallel to the road of my life.
In addition to your novel, a forthcoming short story collection, and many other writerly endeavors, you have also been busy finishing a thesis – congratulations! Based on a certain Facebook post I can't quote here on LitStack, my interest is piqued – can you tell us a little about your thesis topic and why you chose it? How has your MFA (if am I correct?) experience overall affected or changed you as a writer?
Thank you! Well, I am actually finishing up my MA in English Literature and not an MFA, though I do have hopes of doing an MFA or, preferably, a PhD in creative writing, at some point. I've gone back to the school I left 20 years ago and am now at the tail end (I hope!) of my thesis. I'm finishing up a revision which is due by the end of next week and then my thesis defense is on March 19th.
My thesis topic is flash fiction. Though it seems to have sprung from nowhere, the form has been developing from other narrative fictions such as the novel, short story, and from other forms, like lyric poetry, for many years. As such, flash fiction writers use tools that cleave them to what has come before them—such as archetypal characters—but take a step away from what is typically known in narrative fiction by often leaving readers in ambiguity. Indeed, flash fiction readers are often those readers who are comfortable with such ambiguity because of their understanding of other forms such as drama and poetry. Thus, flash fiction is a part of the larger system, growing alongside that which has come before, and yet surprising readers in ways previously unexpected.
It's a fun topic because there is not much scholarly work on it. So I'm blazing some new-ish ground.
Please tell us a little bit about your forthcoming short fiction collection I AM HOLDING YOUR HAND (PANK Little Books, August 2012).
I have admired PANK for a long time and when I saw that they were accepting submissions for their little books this past summer, I submitted not one, but two manuscripts. The first was a flash fiction chapbook and the second a collection of short stories. I hoped that they might like one or the other. Imagine my surprise when they liked both of them. Total shock and delight. Instead of having two separate books, we decided to combine them as one book of fiction. I turned in a manuscript to them in January. I am so excited about it.
It's funny because I feel like the brain which writes my short fiction is a different brain than the one that writes my novels. I use more humor in the short fiction. I'm still pretty dark, though. And my characters do tend to be flawed. Scratch that. Same brain after all.
Myfanwy, thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions and for the opportunity to read Echolocation!
Thank you for the opportunity. I've enjoyed it and I'm so happy that you liked Echolocation.

I am not picky at all about hotel rooms--but I have to say, this room was super gross. I would wake up in the night and realize my face was touching the pillow case and be horrified. Really, it was that gross. However, if the rooms were clean it would be a fine place to stay--the staff is really friendly and the location was really convenient!

The staff were friendly and although on our first night our room's bathroom light didn't work and in the morning toilet wouldn't flush and wouldn't stop running, the staff gave us another room and were very pleasant. Good place to stay on a budget.

What's on the Grill #154
Fortunately, this recipe was easily adaptable to my second favorite cooking surface: the cast iron skillet. But wait, before the fish, we have to knock out the salsa, which was a mixture of diced pineapple, red pepper, onion, cilantro, mint, and essence of Sammy Hagar, to wit: tequila.
The cast iron skillet was pre-heated to medium. The Mahi Mahi filets were rubbed with olive oil, salt, and pepper. With the skillet at temp, I dropped a dollop of butter which melted across the surface. I then placed the fish. The filets cooked for about 3 minutes a side, until they flaked with a fork...or in my case, the side of a spatula.
The filets were served up on warm plates, topped with the salsa and a side of rice. In the end, the meal worked out great and I stayed warm. Better yet, today the grill fired up with no problems. I guess Mahi Mahi was destined to be pan fried after all!

Dynamo, Magician Impossible Review
July 6, 2012 by Jack Sharp
Filed under Reviews
DYNAMO – MAGICIAN IMPOSSIBLE: Thursday 5th July, WATCH, 9pm
On first impressions, non-magic aficionados could be forgiven for thinking that the British TV magician Dynamo is quite similar to David Blaine, who gained much notoriety in the late '90s with his series Street Magic. But there's in fact one very notable difference that sets the two apart: people, it seems, actually like Dynamo — people, for instance, like Snoop Dogg, who has affectionately referred to the 29-year-old trickster as his "home boy�?.
Blaine never achieved such popularity or any glowing admiration from perpetually spliffed up rappers and after casing himself in Plexiglas box next to the Thames, he became almost universally despised: a fate that the general pubic bestow on all magicians after we get bored with them.
But not Dynamo surely. At the screening for his second TV series Dynamo: Magician Impossible, people are struggling to suppress their love for the Bradford-born illusionist. And when the man himself walks through the door, the room erupts with applause.
"There he is!�? screams one woman. "He's actually magic!�?
The reaction couldn't be more positive in the room, but then ten minutes into the first-episode, I suddenly realise that I've missed something. Where others see magic, I see gratuitous film editing.
For instance, one scene sees Dynamo seemingly melting some loose change that's been given to him by some Bradford teenagers, simply by holding the coins in his hands. The teens are absolutely astounded by what they witness, but for viewers, who see the trick interrupted by a clumsy cutaway shot, the neat little trick loses its credibility.
The same can be said for a similar trick in which Dynamo appears to leave a steaming hot imprint on a pane of glass, and the scene where he signs a DVD copy of the first series of Magician Impossible by shaking it like an Etch A Sketch—both of which feature hilariously convenient cutaways just before the magic supposedly happens.
It's a shame because Dynamo is clearly a remarkably talented magician, as evidenced by the tricks that aren't ruined by surprise camera changes. However, the programme makes it damn near impossible to feel as remotely wowed as its participants appear to be.
Nevertheless, there are some quite impressive tricks, like the one where the trickster repeatedly predicts what card a professional poker player is holding in his hand and his interactions with supposedly random people on the street are a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, though, this is all let down by Dynamo's monotonous, droning voice over, in which he repeatedly tells viewers about how much of a big success he has become in the past few years. This is hardly his fault, however judging by the lack of enthusiasm he reads these lines with, I'd be surprised if he actually wrote the words himself.
Magician Impossible is best when Dynamo comes back down to earth and heads back to Bradford, where he drives around with his mates and tries his tricks out on his adorably sweet grandmother. There are also some touching scenes about the recent passing of his grandfather, who, we learn, inspired Dynamo to become a magician in the first place.
Overall this leaves us with a very mixed bag of tricks, tricks that have been hyped up to laughable extremes by Watch (#everythingwillchange, the channel insists we tweet).
The scenes featuring Dynamo's friends and family are the highlights, but the programme's makers should have just kept it simple. We don't need so much narration, constant cutaways or shots of the magician looking dark and moody. Just having him doing tricks would have sufficed.

Charleston, W.Va. – West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie E. Tennant is reminding citizens to be cautious when donating to charity this holiday season.
The holiday season combined with the impact of Hurricane Sandy may make for a perfect storm for fraudulent organizations to take advantage of generous West Virginians.
"There are thousands of people, some right here in our state, who will struggle to provide a happy holiday for their family because of the damage done by Hurricane Sandy," Secretary Tennant said. "My concern is that people who are running fraudulent organizations will call West Virginians and try to get them to donate money by making them feel like they have to donate money. People in West Virginia are truly caring people, and the information on our website can help citizens protect themselves and not let dishonest people take advantage of them."
There are currently 3,248 charitable organizations registered with the Secretary of State's Office. The online database can be found by following this link. The online database will show the charity's total contribution, the money contributed by West Virginians, and how the charity disbursed their funds, and how much of the funds were disbursed in West Virginia.
"The best thing you can do if you're contacted by a charity you think isn't legitimate, is to ask as many questions as you can. Ask where the charity is located, where the money will be going, and if they could send you literature. The legitimate charities will welcome all of those questions because they have nothing to hide," Secretary Tennant said. "If you think the charity who called you isn't legitimate, and they are not on our online database, call the Secretary of State's Office at (304) 558-6000 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting FREE (304) 558-6000 end_of_the_skype_highlighting or 1-866-767-8683."
The Secretary of State's Guide To Wise Charitable Giving has several tips to help citizens protect themselves from fraudulent charities:
- Know your charity: Never give to a charity that you know nothing about and who refuses to answer questions about where your money will go.
- Don't yield to pressure: Don't feel as though you must donate immediately.
- Demand identification: Ask for identification from both the solicitor and the charity. If the solicitor refuses, hang up immediately.
- Beware the name game: Be wary of crooked charities that have a name similar to a well-respected charity.
- Be prudent when giving your credit card number: Write a check and use the charity's full name. That way you have a record of the contribution and exactly where your money went.
- When in doubt, do research: Check the Secretary of State's searchable database.
Not all charities are found on the Secretary of State's database. The Red Cross, for example, is monitored on the federal level. The Salvation Army is not listed on the charities database because as a religious organization, it is exempt and not required to be registered. Only charities that take in more than $25,000 in a calendar year must register with the Secretary of State's Office unless the charity uses a professional fundraising counsel or solicitor.

I'm too busy with my important jet-set lifestyle keep up with what's going on in the world of cell phone gaming. I use my phone to check movie times and call my mom.
But I guess some people like to use their cell phones to pretend to have sex with women. This harsh review of celly-sex-sim College Girls on Quickly Bored, a site that plays mobile games so I don't have to, got me looking into this sub-genre of games.
I don't see why anyone would play a sex game on their cell phone. Do you really need every waking second of your life taken up with smut? Maybe in the privacy of your house, with your high-tech computer entertainment system and your next-generation gaming console machine rendering the hell out of boobies, but a tiny cell screen just isnt' going to deliver.
And people only play mobile games when they're sitting on buses, right? Can you imagine if you heard the high-pitched squeak of cell-phone sex from the guy next to you on the 154 North? Creepy as hell.
Check out this list: Five pages of smutty java games you can play on the go.
Most of the games listed are some variation on the theme of puzzle-game-that-will-reveal-naked-lady-picture (as if anyone wants to work that hard to see some broad's cans) but some of the titles look intriquing.
Erotic Dream, in which "You have a dream in which you are the most favorite and most powerful male rabbit far and near" sounds adorable.
And "How the Women Do This" has a delightful title.
Honorable mention to "Girls Everywhere," a simple application that superimposes a figure into your camera's viewfinder so you can put an imaginary naked chick anywhere you want. That the kind of combination of desperation and creativity I support.
I don't want to play "Swingers" because I have no idea what this description means: "Meet with great adventure or even exciting play together in four?" and every actual swinger couple I've met has consisted of a lecherous fat guy with a dirty beard and his 50 year-old-wife. Swingers usually have bad teeth, too. I don't know why, but they do.
So, come clean on our comment section: Have you ever played an "erotic" cell phone game? How about an x-rated console or PC title? What do you think of players of these kind of game?

The Reality Deck, constructed with a $1.4 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant and a $600,000 match from Stony Brook University, is the first to break the one billion pixel mark with a resolution five times greater than the second largest in the world. To illustrate the resolution, Project Director, Arie E. Kaufman, PhD, Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Computer Science Department and Chief Scientist of CEWIT, said that the entire United States population of approximately 300 million people could take a "class photo" from a satellite, and "there would be enough resolution for each person to be depicted in five pixels in color demonstrating the super-high resolution of the facility."
Images displayed at the demonstration included water level mapping for storm surge due to extreme weather events, satellite imagery of New York City and parts of Long Island demonstrating next-generation Google map, the 2008 Presidential inauguration, Milky Way visualization from NASA and the European Southern Observatory, protein visualizations of the E. coli bacteria and more.
Another feature of the Reality Deck is the "infinite canvas," a 360-degree smart screen that changes images according to the location of the viewer walking around the Reality Deck, so the same image is never viewed twice and infinitely big data can be explored. Future applications to stream video in real time are also in the works.
"This revolutionary facility will further advance the research impact of Stony Brook University and CEWIT on the national and international research agenda for healthcare, national security, energy research and the STEM disciplines," said Yacov Shamash, Dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Vice President of Economic Development at Stony Brook University. "The Reality Deck will spur medical breakthroughs, groundbreaking new technologies and greater partnerships with industry that will help to create new jobs."
Dr. Kaufman was a pioneer in developing 3-D Virtual Colonoscopy systems that provides patients with a non-invasive cancer screening alternative. A series of patents was awarded to Stony Brook for his work during the past decade, and 3-D Virtual Colonoscopy was approved for colon cancer screening in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration in 2004. In 2008 Siemens Healthcare and another CT manufacturer signed landmark non-exclusive license agreements with the University for the portfolio of innovations related to performing three-dimensional virtual examination, navigation and visualization, including the virtual colonoscopy.
Reality Deck by the numbers
• 416 high-resolution displays
• 1.5 Billion pixels total (first display to break the one billion pixel mark)
• Five times larger than the second largest display in the world
• Immersive 4-wall layout in a 33'x19'x10' room with a tiled-display door
• 20-node visualization cluster
• 240 CPU cores - 2.3 TFLOPs performance, 1.2 TB distributed memory
• 80 GPUs - 220 TFLOPs performance, 320 GB distributed memory visualization applications.
Large gigapixel panoramic images – e.g. 45 gigapixel photograph of Dubai, United Arab Emirates;
6 gigapixel Infrared telescope view of the Milky Way
• Large architectural models – e.g. 40 million polygon model visualized at interactive frame rates
• High-performance sound system with 22 speakers and four subwoofers

John Travolta Wants To Play Bond Villain
Renowned Hollywood actor John Travolta is hoping to land a role opposite Daniel Craig in the next James Bond film as he has long fantasized himself playing a villain in the 007 franchise.
The 59 year-old actor admits he is a big fan of the movie series and hopes to eventually follow in the footsteps of actors including Christopher Walken, Christopher Lee and Javier Bardem who have all previously played Bond's rogues.
The Saturday Night Fever star tells Britain's Daily Telegraph, "I'd love to play a bad guy in James Bond." He adds of the films' lead actors, "I have two favorite Bonds, Sean Connery and Daniel Craig.They both have ruggedness, class and suave."
Travolta isn't the only actor coveting the villainous role; former The Office star Steve Carell was recently quoted saying "My dream is to be a Bond villain."
In March of 2012, Hollywood action hero Bruce Willis admitted "I always thought it would be more fun to play bad guys. I tried it a couple of times but it really wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be, so I'll stay good unless there's a James Bond villain offer."
And former wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is also eager for the role, revealing his grandfather was a Bond Nemesis "I would love to be in Bond. Maybe a Bond baddie. You know, my grandfather (wrestler High Chief Peter Maivia) was in You Only Live Twice. He was a Bond baddie."

You may not agree with or like the use of indentation to define block structure, but the decision to make white space significant was not based on cuteness. It was well and carefully thought out, and decided upon because it makes code easier to read. Programs of almost any size should be indented anyway, and getting rid of brackets cuts down on visual noise.
I indent all my code anyway (or let my editor do it) and I have no problems with it. In fact, I prefer it. My experience mirrored Eric Raymond's:
"Oddly enough, Python's use of whitespace stopped feeling unnatural after about twenty minutes. I just indented code, pretty much as I would have done in a C program anyway, and it worked." (Source: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=3882)

The winning NVC team, matchist (L-R): Stella Fayman, Tim Jahn, Rishi Kumar, Elan Mosbacher, Itamar Bar-Zakay and Prem Panchal
On May 30, room C-25 was packed with venture capitalists, faculty and students. The PE/VC students were sitting in the back taking frantic notes, the judges were mingling and the photographers were capturing the moment. It felt like "Showtime" the blood, sweat and tears of these students all boiled down to one presentation that they could probably dictate in their sleep while having two other dreams simultaneously. The event began with a few words by facilitators Steve Kaplan, Neubauer Family Distinguished Service Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance, and Ellen Rudnick, Clinical Professor of Entrepreneurship and the Executive Director of the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship. This year, 90 teams applied to participate in the New Venture Challenge: 29 of those teams were selected to advance to phase two and only ten teams advanced to phase three. These teams would compete for a share of $100,000 of venture money as well as $100,000 in services.
In turn, each team had time to present their venture and then answer difficult questions from the panel of judges. The ventures included a website for interactive programming for the elderly, a beverage company, a solar tracking system, an application to aid cancer centers, a dating service, a medical device company for sleep apnea, two food service ventures and an integration facilitating venture. Not only were the ventures diverse, but their team members were as well. There was a wide array of accents, colors and personalities that only Booth could pull together. Likewise, the judges came from diverse industries and backgrounds in order to provide useful feedback to the contestants. They asked questions about technology, competition, funding, barriers to entry, feasibility and team members.
One thing was certain the level of passion oozing off the contestants was properly matched with constructive skepticism to make for an interesting Q&A session after each presentation. There was little room for pleasantries as the judges fired question after question, trying to poke holes and offer advice in the same breath.
In the spring quarter, during the Special Topics in Entrepreneurship course, NVC teams practice this type of grilling on a regular basis. It was evident that not only did they have great answers for many of the questions, but they also had the data and proof to back their claims. The teams were well-prepared and the presentations were crisp and clear.
As a spectator and future NVC participant, I had the unique vantage point of sitting alongside the judges and industry experts. After a short conversation with the man next to me, discussing our opinions on various ventures, he showed me his iPad, which showed that a certain idea was not patentable. During the presentations, he was validating the patent potential of every single idea. I spoke to the wife of one of the judges who said, "My husband keeps talking about this event so I wanted to see it for myself." A University of Chicago student PhD student in Biology sitting nearby commented that he attended just because he was interested. Everyone in the room had a different story but all of them appreciated the enthusiasm and poise of the contestants.
More than $200,000 was distributed in awards to the winners. Matchist, a site that allows companies to locate top web and mobile developers, took home the first place prize of $30,000. In second place was Aeos Technology, a cleantech venture that adjusts solar panels to receive optimum sunlight. Project Fixup, a dating service for professionals, was awarded third place. As NVC 2013 comes to an end for these three companies and the other contestants, this is just the beginning of a long, winding and risky road.

Trojans Drop Clarke 74-67
Tuesday, November 8, 2011
by Jordan Argo
DUBUQUE, Iowa – Hannibal-LaGrange picked up its first win of the 2011-12 season Monday evening against Clarke University. The 74-67 victory moves the Trojans' record to 1-2 on the year.
Arii Meuel, Gerrell Wells and Abraham Arinyakono all finished the contest scoring in double figures for the Trojans. Meuel finished the game as the top scorer for Hannibal-LaGrange as he came away with 21 points. Wells finished the night with 16 points scored while Arinyakono came away with 10 points and nine rebounds.
The Trojans started the first half a little cold offensively as it was only able to score 12 points in the opening 10 minutes. But a 8-2 run change a five point deficit in to a 20-19 Trojan lead after Drew Jefferson laid in a basket with 5:38 left in the half.
Hannibal-LaGrange continued to fight for the halftime lead as it swap several leads with Clarke. Wells capped off an entertaining final five minutes after Jefferson found him open for a three point shot to give the Trojans a 31-30 lead at the half.
The Trojans quickly gave up its lead as Clarke built a five point lead at the 18:43 mark. Hannibal-LaGrange could only gain ties with the Crusaders until Allistair McCann's jumper gave the Trojans a 45-43 lead with 12:27 remaining.
The Trojans and Crusaders fought continuously for the lead as the final 12 minutes featured seven ties and six lead changes.
With 1:28 remaining, Hannibal-LaGrange and Clarke were deadlocked at 67 before Wells helped start a 7-0 run and give the Trojans the 74-67 victory.
Hannibal-LaGrange will now travel to Marshall, Mo. to take on Missouri Valley College. The November 9 game is set to tipoff at 7:30 p.m. in Grover C. Redford Gymnasium.
Hannibal-LaGrange University is a Division I NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) institution and a member of the American Midwest Conference.

The book is devoted to the perturbation analysis of matrix equations. The importance of perturbation analysis is that it gives a way to estimate the influence of measurement and/or parametric errors in mathematical models together with the rounding errors done in the computational process. The perturbation bounds may further be incorporated in accuracy estimates for the solution computed in finite arithmetic. This is necessary for the development of reliable computational methods, algorithms and software from the viewpoint of modern numerical analysis.
In this book a general perturbation theory for matrix algebraic equations is presented. Local and non-local perturbation bounds are derived for general types of matrix equations as well as for the most important equations arising in linear algebra and control theory. A large number of examples, tables and figures is included in order to illustrate the perturbation techniques and bounds.
Key features:
• The first book in this field
• Can be used by a variety of specialists
• Material is self-contained
• Results can be used in the development of reliable computational algorithms
• A large number of examples and graphical illustrations are given
• Written by prominent specialists in the field
Scientists, Specialists and Postgraduate Students in Applied Mathematics, Scientific Computing and Control Engineering, Developers of Mathematical Software

The Constitution and Public Policy in U.S. History
- Copyright: 2009

Paperback Edition: $30.95
Despite its crucial importance in U.S. history, the study of the constitutional system fell out of favor with many historians and history departments for several decades during the latter half of the twentieth century. The dawn of the twenty-first century, however, has borne witness to a new interdisciplinary interest among scholars in reviving this important dialogue in American history. This book represents some of the most innovative contributions to this dialogue by a new generation of historians and legal scholars. The essays presented in this volume offer new insights into constitutionalism, legal culture, and the political arena, together contributing to an "ongoing reconceptualization of the historical relationship between the Constitution and public policy."
In this volume of "Issues in Policy History," Julian Zelizer and Bruce Schulman bring together eleven essays from renowned scholars Mary Sarah Bilder, Donald T. Critchlow and Cynthia L. Stachecki, Christine Desan, Morton Keller, Ajay K. Mehrotra, David Quigley, John A. Thompson, Christopher Tomlins, and Michael Willrich. By applying new archival research to questions of policy history and embedding constitutional history in its political context, these scholars breathe new life into the study of public policy and reaffirm Woodrow Wilson's conclusion that the Constitution's "spirit is always the spirit of the age."

WASHINGTON — Repairs to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial have been completed, erasing doubts about whether the site would be ready for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and King's "I Have a Dream" speech on Aug. 28.
The memorial's sculptor, Lei Yixin, was applying the finishing sealant yesterday to an area of the statue of King where a controversial inscription recently was removed, said Carol Johnson, a spokeswoman for the National Park Service.
The statue's scaffolding will be removed this morning, and a crew is expected to finish cleaning up the site over the weekend, she said.
"The Park Service is really glad that we were able to come up with a solution, one that doesn't require Master Lei to come back," she said.
On Monday, officials warned that repairs might not be completed before the anniversary because of problems arising over how to smooth and finish the area near the statue's left leg where the inscription was chiseled out on Aug. 2. The contractor hired by the Park Service was not insured to blast the affected area using the material preferred by Lei. The issue was resolved when a crew from the Park Service's self-insured preservation unit smoothed the area on Thursday using a synthetic mineral.
The issue threatened to delay the work beyond the Aug. 28 anniversary and add thousands of dollars to the repair costs.
The Park Service also let Lei use a sealant on the affected area, as he had when the memorial was built. The agency generally shuns using sealants because water and other elements can seep through and get trapped.
Thousands of visitors are expected in Washington this month for the anniversary of the civil-rights march, which drew about 250,000 people to the capital in 1963 and culminated with King's giving his "I Have a Dream" speech, which envisioned racial equality and harmony.
Civil-rights groups have planned a week of events, including a march from the Lincoln Memorial to the King Memorial on Aug. 24.

Boys get all sorts of messages about what it means to be a man.
They listen to rap music. They play violent video games.
They watch movies and TV programs that glorify risky behavior.
As young athletes, they're encouraged to be aggressive.
Role Model: Ronnie Johnson, assistant wrestling coach at Caprock High School, works with students during an afternoon practice. Johnson appears in one of the Family Support Services TV spots urging men to talk to boys about domestic violence.
Steven firstname.lastname@example.com
Yet, rarely are boys told that abusive behavior against women and girls is wrong.
Family Support Services wants to increase awareness about family and dating violence with a new communitywide program.
Coaching Boys into Men encourages high school and college coaches to be positive role models.

"Current research indicates that the earlier boys are talked to about healthy relationships, the less likely they are to commit acts of violence when they grow up," said Kathy Cobb, FSS sexual assault educator.
Family Support Services recruited five coaches to deliver TV public-service announcements urging men to speak to the boys in their lives about domestic violence.
"It's like sex," said Ronnie Jones, head football coach at West Texas A&M University. "There's a real need to talk about it to kids, but it's not a comfortable subject."
How To Start
Whether you are a father, coach, teacher, uncle, older brother or mentor, you can make a difference in a boy's life.
Here are some suggestions from the Family Violence Prevention Fund:
Teach early.
It's never too soon to talk to a child about violence. Tell him that "hands are not for hitting."
Let him know how you think he should express his anger and frustration - and what is out of bounds.
Talk about what it means to be fair and to share and treat others with respect.
Bring it up.
Try watching television with him or listening to his music. If you see or hear things that depict violence against women, tell him what you think about it.
Help him work through problems in relationships as they arise. Let him know he can talk to you anytime.
Hear what he has to say. Listen to how he and his friends talk about girls.
Ask him if he's ever seen abusive behavior in his friends.
Tell him how.
Teach him ways to express his anger without using violence. When he gets mad, tell him he can walk it out, talk it out, or take a time out.
Give him examples of what you might say or do in situations that could turn violent.
Be a role model.
Make sure you act in a nonviolent way in your relationships and that you always treat women and girls in a way your sons can admire.
Let him know how you define a healthy relationship.
For more information about ending domestic violence, contact Family Support Services at 372-3202 or (800) 749-9026.
The FSS 24-Hour Crisis Hotline number is 374-5433.
Jones and several members of the WT coaching staff attended a Family Support Services presentation that offered tips on how to talk to young men about appropriate ways to treat girls and women.
"Domestic violence is a larger problem than most people are willing to admit," said Jones, who appeared in one of the public service announcements.
During his career as a coach, Jones has dealt with three cases in which his players were abusing a spouse or girlfriend.
"Football is a violent sport," he said. "On the field, we praise the guy who plays rough. Sometimes it's hard for them to separate that behavior when they're at home."
Battering is the single leading cause of injury to women between the ages of 15 and 44, according to information compiled by Family Support Services.
In a 2001 annual crime report, the Amarillo Police Department noted 2,784 incidents of family violence and 256 cases of sexual assault.
Last year, Family Support Services' 24-hour Crisis Hotline received 3,841 calls, an increase of 1,200 in one year.
"What we're asking the coaches to do is share with boys and young men the message that there is no place for violence in relationships," Cobb said.
Mike Carrol, boys basketball coach at Tascosa High School, tries to incorporate that message in several ways.
"I think a lot of young men today don't have respect for women," he said. "You can tell by the language they use. We talk to our students constantly about how to treat women, whether it's a female student trainer who goes with us to games or a waitress in a restaurant."
When a ninth-grade student referred to his tank top as a "wife beater," Carrol said he corrected the boy. "It may just be popular slang, but that's not how we want them to talk."
Ronnie Johnson, wrestling coach at Caprock High School, said he was hesitant about starring in a TV spot.
"But I know that coaches are role models, and I have to accept that. I realize that I have the opportunity to influence someone's life."
Airing the commercials brings the topic out in the open.
"That's so important," said Holly Troth, WT associate athletic director. "We see girls who are victims of dating violence who won't talk about it."
In past years, Troth said, she's had cheerleaders show up at practice with bruised faces.
"When I ask them what happened, they say 'nothing.' Some girls really believe that as long as they have a boyfriend, it doesn't matter if he hurts them."
Cobb said one in five teen-age girls has experienced dating violence. One in three girls and one in five boys will be sexually assaulted by age of 18 - 85 percent by someone they know.
"Sometimes boys think slapping is not abuse," Cobb said. "We want the coaches to teach them ways to express anger that isn't hurtful."
Family Support Services designed a poster that lists what abuse is and gives information on how to refer someone to anger management or counseling.
"It's never too early to talk to a child about violence," Cobb said. "They need to understand what is out of bounds."
Coaching Boys into Men is funded by a $40,000 matching grant from the Philip Morris Foundation of Hope Program.

Very good results when you take the time to master the tool. This is obviously different and more complex than a word processor, but the documents are very nice at the end. Used with graphics from gimp.
A lot of work went into creating a very poor, non-intuitive program that doesn't do simple tasks like changing font size in a text window. I spent over 30 minutes just trying to change from the default size to a larger size. Nothing I tried worked except uninstalling this dud.
It has a lot of features but is totally non-intuitive. Seriously, you have to load it with colors. Really? Desktop publishing that has only 7 or 8 native colors?? Look - there are 4 basic things you need to do with desktop publishing. 1: Format text. 2: Format shapes. 3: Format pictures. 4: Arrange them on a page. These things should be EASY to find and to do, and they are not with Scribus. You should be able to highlight text and format it, as simply as I just said it. But you can't. And I still don't know how to change the color of a shape. I am sure there are those who have taken the time to conform their minds to how the software works and have gotten great results. God bless you. But for me, Scribus stands in the way of my projects rather than facilitates getting them done.
5-star It's an excellent software with plenty of useful features! Appreciated the author(s) and contributors
This is a dissapointing program as it offers all that any desktop publisher would seem to need but then completely dissapoints by disinformation, lack of essential basic features and a website "how-to" that is out of date referring to features that no longer exist in the current version ! I am like tens of thousands of users of Adobe PageMaker who have seen their favourite program sabotaged by the failure of Adobe to update their product for the current version of Windows; instead choosing to force users to buy "InDesign" a bloated expensive program that does not work, has never worked and probably will never work. What is the dedicated PageMaker pro to do then ??? Wait here is salvation - a knight is shining armour, up to date, working with all current OSs with all the features of the best high end DTP programs AND it's Open Source FREE !! What more could you want ? Unfortunately what you get for free doesn't have any support or even basic guides. YES there IS an online guide but it doesn't apply to the current version and constantly refers to "tabs" and "drop down pallets" that no longer exit - very exasperating. I installed this program then AFTER the install the "installation window" popped up (!!!) saying that BEFORE the install another program had to be installed (why isn't it incorporated with the installation procedure then ?) Ghostscript (a PostScript interpreter) but there is no link to that program. No worries - I found it then redid the installation WITH the GhostScript installed. The first time the program starts up it takes about 30 mins before it starts as it is compiling a font cache from the installed fonts. After that no menu item is accessible. You have to exit the program then restart it. After this you are completely on your own to 'trial and error' it into shape. I wanted to have a rectangle filled with a colour (black) - a VERY simple and basic procedure - but there is no way to do this. The help application does not contain any information that is relevant and is basically a reiteration of the programmers description of the program. An online search via Google reveals information only on the Scribus website which, yet again, only repeats the above descriptive information without giving any specific answer. I am sure that this program is capable of doing great things but it is intent on "shooting itself in the foot" so that it is virtually impossible for the first time user to use. Work on updates and improvements to the program should be halted IMMEDIATELY and instead a searchable help index with SPECIFIC IDENTIFIABLE STEP-BY-STEP information added FOR THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE PROGRAM. Then it will start to be useable.

Are you having a good day?
I am.
The boys are out of the house and I am alone.
I need to straighten my house but instead I took a cat nap after working on school for tomorrow.
Somehow I ended up in front of the computer and got suddenly inspired to write about the combination of aqua and red.
That's the way my brain goes...
Anyway, I love the color combination of cool aqua and hot red.
I am seeing it in fabrics and quilts. It is popular in kids rooms but I do not see why adults can'tenjoy it also!
I started perusing Pintrest and found lots of lovely images to support just that idea.
In the kitchen it gives a vintage vibe.
Here red is the focus with the aqua taking the back, just enough to make a great statement.
These two rooms feature the softer side of red and aqua.
white walls set the background for the sprinkling or the two colors.
white walls set the background for the sprinkling or the two colors.
Need something a little more vibrant, yet still sophisticated?
love it!
Or let it pop off of the neutrals...
This looks like a little girls space but could easily transition to a teen room.
I have aqua in my kitchen and used red with it this last Christmas.
OK back to work for me now!
Hope you day is wonderful!

After a dominating performance against Shane Mosely, the stage is set (again) for a superfight pitting Floyd Mayweather Jr against Manny Pacquiao. The two tried to come to terms for a deal to fight in March, but in December neither side could find a comparable compromise thus stalling the fight. Will this fight ever happen? If it doesn't, it stands in a long line of anticipated bouts that never came to fruition. Here's a look at a few.
The Mayweather-Pacquiao Treatment: Five Great Fights That Never Happened
By Justin Davis ,
George Foreman and Larry Holmes were the premier post Ali heavyweights of their time. They shared common opponents, but Foreman abruptly retired following a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977, when Holmes started picking steam. This fight would have rocked this era, but never happened. Foreman retired following a near death experience and a call to preach only to resurface nearly a decade later. A 1999 bout was proposed, but never happened over a purse mishap.
Considering the two were teammates in the 1984 Olympics, the likelihood of this fight was zero to none. However, the two faced Mexican icon Julio Cesar Chavez in thrilling fights and the "what if" question will be posed for generations. Taylor's superior handspeed and combination punching vs "Sweet Pea's" defensive prowess and boxing cunning. Hmmmm...
In the late 90's the heavyweight division was amuck with young talented and hungry lions. The competition was great and the prize for a crack at then champion Lennox Lewis was on the line. Two young guys emerged above the rest. Michael Grant had been crowned the "heir apparent" while Nigerian powerpuncher Ike Ibeabuchi had just knocked out the elusive Chris Byrd. The stage was set for a "winner take all" type of fight untill Ike was jailed on sexual assault charges in Las Vegas and Grant recieved his shot at Lennox Lewis. The result is pictured above, although the guy pictured is not Lewis.
Roy Jones Jr ruled the middleweight-light heavyweight division in heyday during the late 90's early 2000's. While Jones was pounding on the Richard Frazier's, Eric Lucases and Mike McCallum's of the boxing world, a powerpunching German Pole waited overseas to test his skills against Jones. Critics of Jones point to Michalczewski as a quality fighter whom Jones ducked. Whatever the reason terms to bring Michalczewski or Jones overseas could not be negotiated.
This fight would have been huge. These were the two youngest and brightest stars in the heavyweight division at that time. Tyson went to prision and Bowe knocked off Evander Holyfield before losing to him months later. When Tyson came back from prision Bowe was more than willing as this might have grossed in the hundreds of millions, but rival promoters stalled this megafight. We can only dream.
In 1997 there were 3 dominant welterweight title holders. Pernell Whitaker, Ike Quartey and Felix "Tito" Trinidad. The biggest crowd pleasing draw would have been Quartey facing the hard hooking Puerto Rican Trinidad. Whitaker was past his prime as Tito would later prove and Quartey gave De La Hoya his toughest challenge at that time. These two never could figure out how to get in the same ring. Pity.
If Spinks had never fought Tyson and stayed at the light heavyweight division, this fight would have had to happen. There hasn't been two more dominate light heavys since. This fight definitely would have been uttered in the same breathe as Hagler-Hearns or Leonard-Duran as these two were warriors. We will never know because Spinks retired after being annihilated in less than 90 seconds by a streaking Mike Tyson.

JOHANNESBURG — A squabble between Nelson Mandela's eldest grandson and more than a dozen other family members over the bodies of three of the former president's children intensified as police broke down the gates surrounding the burial site to fulfill a judge's order that the bodies be exhumed and returned to a nearby village.
Earlier in the day, a judge in the Eastern Cape High Court in Mthatha, near the rural villages where Mandela was born and raised, ordered the grandson, Mandla Mandela, to return the bodies immediately from the small village of Mvezo, where Nelson Mandela was born, to the nearby village of Qunu, where he was raised and where he has said he wishes to be buried.
Mandla Mandela is not opposed to the bodies' exhumation, his spokesman, Freddy Pelusa, said in a statement after the ruling. The grandson pursued the case only because he thought he had not been treated properly by the court, Pelusa said.
Hearses arrived at the Mvezo site by midafternoon to transport the bodies, and police used a pickax to break through a gate surrounding the property to begin the exhumation. By late afternoon, police and health officials had unearthed the remains and taken them to a nearby mortuary to be prepared for the move to Qunu.
Meanwhile, South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper said it had obtained an affidavit from the court case dated Friday in which the 16 Mandela family members who petitioned to have the bodies returned to Qunu said they had done so because Nelson Mandela, 94, was in "perilous health" and was "assisted in breathing by a life support machine."
"The anticipation of his impending death is based on real and substantial grounds," the affidavit said. "The applicants are desirous of burying their father and committing him to the earth in which his descendants' remains lie."
The affidavit, the paper reported, said the family believed that Mandla Mandela wanted the bodies to remain in Mvezo, his home village, for financial gain, in the anticipation that Nelson Mandela also would be buried there.
The bodies to be exhumed are those of three of Nelson Mandela's children: Mandla Mandela's father, Makgatho Mandela, who died in 2005; his first daughter, also named Makaziwe, who died as an infant in 1948; and a son, Madiba Thembekile Mandela, who died in a traffic accident in 1969.
The feud between Mandla Mandela and the other family members, led by Nelson Mandela's eldest daughter, also named Makaziwe, has riveted the attention of South Africans as Nelson Mandela remains in critical condition in a Pretoria hospital, clinging to life.
The court initially ordered Mandla Mandela on Friday to exhume the bodies, but he fought the order, leading to three more days of court proceedings this week. In her order yesterday morning, Justice Lusindiso Pakade called Mandla Mandela's actions "scandalous" and ordered the bodies exhumed within hours.
Family members said Mandla Mandela moved the bodies in 2011 from Qunu to Mvezo without their permission.

The road to recovery starts with a single step, and for Janice Firlotte the step will probably take place in Picton, Ont.
Firlotte suffered a stoke the end of July 2011, and she and her husband Jerry are seeking hyperbaric chamber oxygen treatment at the Ability Camp.
According to Ability Camp director Kevin Hickling, "the majority of our therapy involves children and adults with cerebral palsy and strokes."
Hickling said therapy sessions can be up to five weeks and involve "pushing them as much as we can."
The stroke therapy offered at Ability Camp combines hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help stimulate the injured brain and an intensive and focused therapeutic exercise program called conductive education to help repair or form new connections from the brain to the muscles.
"If they offered this therapy here, it would save me $20,000," Janice's husband, Jerry, told the Times-Herald. "I think this therapy will help my wife, so this is where we're going and what we're going to do."
He said the five-week treatment involves 60 hours of hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy, along with 50 hours of therapeutic exercise.
Firlotte said Janice presently visits Providence Place twice a week for therapy, but he added he knows he needs to do more for his wife.
"Right now I'm liquidating assets to move on to make my wife better — whatever it takes, as long as there's the slightest improvement, it's worth it," he said.
Firlotte said time is a major factor for stroke victims, with therapy and treatment being more effective the sooner it can begin.
"We'll be having two fundraiser dinners in May to help raise funds for the trip and costs," Brenda White, Janice's sister, said. "Tickets will be available this upcoming week."
A rib and salad fundraiser will be taking place May 9 at Champs, with a steak dinner planned for May 10, also being held at Champs. For tickets and further information, contact Brenda White at 306-693-0263.

P0230 GMC - Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit
- Fuel Pump Relay harness is open or shorted
- Fuel Pump Relay circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON position, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) activates the in-tank fuel pump. The fuel pump remains on as long as the PCM receives reference pulses from the electronic ignition system. If there are no reference pulses, the PCM turns the fuel pump off after about 2-3 seconds. The PCM controls the fuel pump relay by applying B+ to the control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. The primary function of the driver is to supply a voltage to the fuel pump relay. The driver has a fault line which the PCM monitors. When the PCM commands the fuel pump on, the voltage of the control circuit should be high (near battery voltage). When the PCM commands the control circuit to the fuel pump OFF, the voltage potential of the circuit should be low (near 0 volts). This DTC sets when the PCM detects the fuel pump control circuit is shorted to ground.
