Bill Manning has been a central figure in contemporary art hereabouts for something close to five decades. He started showing his work in 1960 and over the years has had dozens of exhibitions here in Maine, in New York, and in many other places. He is a dedicated abstract painter with a deep understanding of modernist thought and its function in artistic, and that is to say human, perception.
His influence can't be overstated. In the late '60s he started what was called the Concept School, after being fired from the Portland School (now the Maine College) of Art following a fundamental artistic disagreement with the management. Concept only lasted about four years and yet produced way more than its share of artists with accomplished careers, among them Katherine Bradford, Don Voisine, and Noriko Sakanishi.
The 25 recent paintings and drawings in the current show at Icon Contemporary Art in Brunswick demonstrate once again the nature of his thinking about how we apprehend the visual world and apply our human understanding to it. At a recent gathering in those rooms a veteran art-watcher and writer asked Manning how he would teach someone to draw. Manning replied, without a moment's hesitation, "If you can write in longhand, you draw." This is correct, and makes a couple of essential points: Drawing has been the same since long before writing was invented, and it is always an abstraction — technical details are just that, details. It's important also to note that the drawn rendering of, say, a rock's shadow is not a really a shadow — it is marks that convey an abstraction of a particular experience (looking at a rock with a shadow) from one person (the artist) to another (the viewer). We can follow this analytic, expressive thinking quite directly in Manning's work.
For example, "Painting #324," 2011, acrylic on Masonite, takes its undertone from the mottled brown of the support, carried unchanged around the border of the four-foot panel. Hard-edged shapes of fairly thin color on the right produce both a rhythm and a slightly modulated illusion of space. A large gray section occupies the center of both the panel and the viewer's attention, and supports a discrete area of activity. Some of this section is executed on a collaged area where paper has been glued on the Masonite, effectively blocking the brown undertone from affecting the final color. There are denser colors here, as well as some loose, improvisational paint handling. Stripes and hard-edged shapes of more saturated color provide counterpoint.
There's an old truism in jazz that there are no rules, but there are reasons; this guide may be applied to visual art in general and Manning's paintings in particular. Color values and hues create their own dynamic with respect to each other, as do shapes and tones. Things advance and recede in illusionistic space, producing their own syncopation and order. Nothing here is left to chance, even the areas of improvisation. The elements are not representational, but they are relational, each to another.

Brian Hayes
One of the cherished customs of childhood is choosing up sides for a ball game. Where I grew up, we did it this way: The two chief bullies of the neighborhood would appoint themselves captains of the opposing teams, and then they would take turns picking other players. On each round, a captain would choose the most capable (or, toward the end, the least inept) player from the pool of remaining candidates, until everyone present had been assigned to one side or the other. The aim of this ritual was to produce two evenly matched teams and, along the way, to remind each of us of our precise ranking in the neighborhood pecking order. It usually worked.
None of us in those days—not the hopefuls waiting for our name to be called, and certainly not the two thick-necked team leaders—recognized that our scheme for choosing sides implements a greedy heuristic for the balanced number partitioning problem. And we had no idea that this problem is NP-complete—that finding the optimum team rosters is certifiably hard. We just wanted to get on with the game.
And therein lies a paradox: If computer scientists find the partitioning problem so intractable, how come children the world over solve it every day? Are the kids that much smarter? Quite possibly they are. On the other hand, the success of playground algorithms for partitioning might be a clue that the task is not always as hard as that forbidding term "NP-complete" tends to suggest. As a matter of fact, finding a hard instance of this famously hard problem can be a hard problem—unless you know where to look. Some recent results, which make use of tools borrowed from physics and mathematics as well as computer science, have now shown exactly where the hard problems hide.
The organizers of sandlot ball games are not the only ones with an interest in efficient partitioning. Closely related problems arise in many other resource-allocation tasks. For example, scheduling a series of jobs on a dual-processor computer is a partitioning problem: Sorting the jobs into two sets with equal running time will balance the load on the processors. Another example is apportioning the miscellaneous assets of an estate between two heirs.

WHAT IS Smartlipo™?
Smartlipo™ laser-assisted lipolysis is a highly effective, minimally invasive, in-office procedure that destroys and permanently eliminates fat cells while promoting skin tightening up to 70%. It has been shown to improve cellulite and stretch marks. A very small cannula (tube) through which the laser fiber is introduced is gently inserted in the skin. The cannula is moved back and forth delivering laser energy directly to fat cells causing them to burst and form a liquid substance. Concurrently the fat melting laser energy emitted also stimulates collagen resulting in tissue tightening. The use of such a small cannula makes the procedure minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. The small blood vessels coagulate immediately on contact resulting in less bleeding, swelling and bruising with faster recovery time.
- Smartlipo™ is a highly effective in destroying and permanently eliminating fat cells, including improving cellulite.

text: Well...I assume I can write off this tranny, but just in case, this is what happened... First, it is a 2001 Silverado Z71 regular cab, short bed. 5.3 liter, 4L60E (I am assuming, I haven't confirmed the tranny model). 207,000 miles. This transmission has 130,000 miles on it, and has not been treated kindly. I was towing a car over the mountains when it started acting funny. It runs normal through first and second gear, then, rather than shifting into third, it acts like it shifts out of gear (allowing the RPMs to drop to engine idle speed while coasting)...if I hit the gas again, once the RPMs are back up, it grabs second gear again and pulls in second until I let off the gas again. Pulled into a gas station, and found I have a very minor tranny fluid drip near the back of the transmission (might be a symptom, might be a cause). Checked the tranny fluid, and I was a quart low. No idea how long I have been running it low, I haven't been in the habit of checking it. Regardless, I filled it up, and it did nothing to help it. I dropped the trailer, and limped the truck 45 miles home in second gear. Now...what to do. Assuming there isn't an easy fix for this transmission (I'm sure you agree that is a safe assumption), my choices are to rebuild this one, or replace it. I can remove and replace the tranny myself, but I won't touch the internals of it. There isn't a shop in town that I would trust my transmission to. I was thinking about simply purchasing this tranny -> http://monstertrans.com/store/products/4L60E-4L65E-Transmission-4X4-Heavy-Duty.html along with their new torque converter and calling it a day. But...before I spend $2000 on this, I figured I would see if anyone else had a better idea. On a side note, I was curious about what it would take to upgrade to the 6L80. Or, is that not considered an upgrade? I assume my current PCM won't run it? Can it be programmed to run it? What problems would I have with mounts/bellhousing/shift cable/transfer case? Thanx for your thoughts, Greg

Bachelor's in Film and Digital Media
Film and digital media have become the most dynamic and ubiquitous form of communication globally. Traditional film and television have been joined by "new" media and digital technologies, such as video games, social media and the web, in shaping the way we communicate, profoundly changing our culture and society. These sweeping changes call for a new approach to the study, creation, and discussion of film and digital media. Such an approach emphasizes interdisciplinary skills, cultural diversity, technological literacy, storytelling, and sensitivity to the promotion of social justice.
Located in one of the largest media markets in the world, students in the Film and Digital Media program work with a variety of filmmakers, digital media producers and scholars. Screenwriters, new-media artists, and other professionals in the industry, join with the full-time faculty to help students learn the latest techniques and theory. Students are also within easy reach of media companies for internships and hands-on experience and ultimately job opportunities.
Loyola's interdisciplinary, 43-credit Film and Digital Media (FDM) program focuses on the critical analysis, production, and use of film and digital media in all of its varieties, and explores the migration of communication and entertainment media across platforms, from film screens, to mobile devices, to video games. Students in FDM choose from one of three major concentrations:
- International Film Studies prepares students for further work or study in media criticism, history, and theory, curation, and related media professions
- Film and Media Production provides students with the conceptual and practical skills for working in film, digital video, and new-media production
- Digital Media Studies which gives students experience in the production and critical study of multiple new media modes, including web design, social media, information management, game design, or technology development.
In keeping with Loyola's Jesuit, Catholic values of social justice and ethical practices, the film and digital media program offers opportunities for community outreach and service-learning, and emphasizes both the practice and theory of film and digital media, striving to create thoughtful practitioners and media critics. Located at the School of Communication on Loyola's Water Tower Campus, the program is ideally situated in downtown Chicago and in close proximity to the city's many media production centers.
*Students majoring in Advertising & Public Relations, Communication Studies (including Advocacy and Social Change), International Film and Media Studies (Production), Film and Digital Media or Journalism cannot major (or minor) in another program within the School of Communication.

What a super quilt. Very eyecatching!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What a super quilt. Very eyecatching!
Absolutely gorgeous, wonder how it would look with red in stead of pink. Thanks for sharing.
l love the hot pink... very nice
What pattern is this and where can I get it....
It's beautiful, I love it. I'm sure she will love it also.
Your quilt is beautiful. I love that pattern.
The 10-minute block is my go to block. There is so much you can do with it. Love your color choices.
Remember, people will see your quilts long after you are gone....NOT your housework!
well hot pink is better than baby pink.
I think it looks good.
and I like the way some of the quilting looks like part of the fabric design weaving in and out of the petals!
Good job.

Canadiens goaltending coach Pierre Groulx recently sat down with The Gazette's Dave Stubbs for his first in-depth interview since he joined the Canadiens in the summer of 2009. He talked about the maturation of Habs cornerstone Carey Price: from the goalie's arrival as a young phenom in 2007 to his development into an elite netminder, from his insecurities of losing the starter's job during the 2010 playoffs to the quiet confidence he's since developed, in Groulx's eyes having become a top-flight netminder from those playoffs during which he warmed the bench.
Below are links to this week's Hockey Inside/Out special section stories as we wait for the puck to drop Thursday night in Florida when the Canadiens take on the Panthers (7:30 p.m., TSN-HABS, RDS, TSN 690 Radio).
General manager Marc Bergevin announced on Thursday morning that the Canadiens have acquired goaltender Dustin Tokarski from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Cédrick Desjardins.
Tokarski, 23, played 33 games with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch this season, posting a record of 18-8-4 with a 2.46 goals-against average and .900 save percentage. Desjardins was a member of the Canadiens organization from 2006 to 2010 before returning to the Canadiens on July 1, 2012 as a free agent. He had a 7-13-2 record this season with the Hamilton Bulldogs along with a 2.94 goals-against average.

While I believe it is important to keep our kids somewhat up to date with current affairs, do they really need to know and digest every piece of bad information that hits the ever expanding radar? A local station used to announce, just prior to the news, "It's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?" I say, better yet, "Do your children always need to know what you know?"

I want Novak to go off today in LA! I'm just eager to see one of those games where he has 4-5 3's and scores 16-19 points.. Were 7-0 when Novak scores double digits.. That means were 13-7 when he dosen't.. So obviously were much better when novak is on his game shooting..
I can't believe the Knicks have sent out Syracuse to play in their stead. Lazy ol' geezers.

NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
Man, Knicks defense is getting embaressed lately.. I had a feeling guys like Melo and Co weren't gonna be able to commit for a full season of Defenes, and were starting to look like a middle of the pack team because of it... We gotta get Shumpert and Amare back pronto, becuase our depth isn't looking so formidable like it was either.. ROnnie Brewer is stinking it up , and Prigioni isn't doing much, and novak is in a mini slump, and felton is starting to beocme one of the more annoying players in the league..
Why does Felton shoot so much now? Is he crazy? Hes killing us with his awful shooting.. I love what he was bringing to the table but it seems it might of gone to his head or something? I mean, guys shooting 20plus times a game is ridiculous and should never happen unless theres like 4guys out...lol What a terrible game he played vs lakers..
I can't wait for Shump and Amare to get back!
Does anyone know when Amare comes back. I thought it would be this week but i haven't heard anything.
We actually really need Amare's scoring and size, becasue guys aren't playing like they did early on.. Brewer, Prigioni, and Novak are all kinda slumping and Amare could be a huge lift for us..
Wow, no felton for 4-6 wks, making the kidd and prigioni pickups that much bigger for us.. Kidd was flat out brilliant in the buzzer beater win last night at Phoenix.. With no Melo and Felton, Kidd and JR were just brilliant! A solid Double Double for Ty Chandler, and my guy Chris Copelands 14pts off the bench also helped..
We def need Amare and Shump back here soon, with Felton now out, and Wallace still out.. I mean, thank god for our depth this yr, becuase we've all ready had our fill of injuries..
Amare said he thinks he'll be back against Portland Jan 1st...

"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I think a couple of things factor in to peoples perception of Eli. For Giant fans, its familiarity. We see him all of the time and critique every move he makes. There isn't a QB in the NFL, past or present, who hasn't, at times, looked terrible. This includes Tom Terrific, Joe Montana, John Elway etc... For non-Giant fans, its a combo of "he isn't as good as Peyton" syndrome and Eli's inherent goofiness. Eli being as good as Peyton may or may not be valid. As far as goofy, he may be, but he is also a tough SOB.
I'll take a guy like Eli on my team any day of the week.
Funny how you guys take the OP's bait hook, line and sinker every time.

Here's a guess: you probably know what Twilight: New Moon is all about already. And so you probably also know who Kellan Lutz is, then, also. He was in town yesterday to promote the new film (as though it needs promoting), so we dispatched Chris Faraone and Maddy Myers (who had previously teamed up to interview him last year when the first movie came out) to ask him a few questions.

The next time Tressa came in the doctor said she was having two sets of twins. Two boys shared one placenta and the other two shared another. The husband says he wants a girl so they will be having more babies.

The scenario.
I have two hives, one Langstroth and on Top bar hive both with large (4-5 lb) swarms I captured hived in them. The TBH is doing remarkabley well with comb, brood, queen, etc. The Lang on the other hand has had two swarms WITH QUEENS hived into it and has both times swarmed out after a week. These swarms were captured 20 miles away.
I believe everything is right with the Lang, no new paint, new frames, great location.
It's a ten frame, 1 super, inner cover, outer cover,.... the works. No insect infestation.
I just don't get it.
Any insight?

Reid apologizes for questioning Obama's racial authenticity; Update: Apology accepted, says Obama; Update: Sharpton backs Reid, of course; Update: Obama 2002: The GOP must drive Lott out
posted at 3:31 pm on January 9, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
The top Democrat in the U.S. Senate apologized on Saturday for comments he made about Barack Obama's race during the 2008 presidential bid.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described then-Sen. Barack Obama as "light skinned" and "with no Negro dialect." Obama is the nation's first African-American president.
"I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African-Americans for my improper comments," Reid said in a statement released after the excerpts were reported on the Web site of The Atlantic.
Why did Reid suddenly feel the need to confess? He's trying to beat the media to it:
Reid's comments are included in a book set to be published on Monday. "Game Change" was written by Time Magazine's Mark Halperin and New York magazine's John Heilemann; the pair describe the book in interviews during Sunday's "60 Minutes" on CBS.
Reid, facing a tough 2010 re-election bid, needs the White House's help if he wants to keep his seat. Obama's administration has dispatched officials on dozens of trip to buoy his bid and Obama has raised money for his campaign.
When Trent Lott made a foolish statement at Strom Thurmond's birthday party about his presidential run on a segregation tick, the media outcry forced Lott to resign his leadership position. Will this more explicit insult create any consequences for Reid? It certainly won't help his favorability ratings, which have tanked even before this incident.
Update (AP): That was fast.
Reid folks in overdrive to shut story down. Obama puts out statement on Reid's apology: " I accepted Harry's apology without question."
Update (AP): Reader Geoff A. e-mails with a reminder that when Don Imus made his own problematic racial crack a few years ago and then apologized, The One was … less forgiving.
Update (AP): A day dedicated to revisiting liberal racial hypocrisy ends happily, with a statement from demagogue par excellence Al Sharpton that all is instantly forgiven for his Democratic comrade in arms.
I have learned of certain unfortunate comments made by Senator Reid regarding President Barack Obama and have spoken with Senator Reid about those comments. While there is no question that Senator Reid did not select the best word choice in this instance, these comments should not distract America from its continued focus on securing healthcare or creating jobs for its people. Nor should they detract from the unquestionable leadership role Senator Reid has played on these issues or in the area of civil rights. Senator Reid's door has always been open on hearing from the civil rights community on these issues and I look forward to continue to work with Senator Reid wherever possible to improve the lives of Americans everywhere.
Update (AP): A little more kindling on the flames of hypocrisy. Obama 2002:
"It seems to be that we can forgive a 100-year-old senator for some of the indiscretion of his youth, but, what is more difficult to forgive is the current president of the U.S. Senate (Lott) suggesting we had been better off if we had followed a segregationist path in this country after all of the battles and fights for civil rights and all the work that we still have to do," said Obama.
He said: "The Republican Party itself has to drive out Trent Lott. If they have to stand for something, they have to stand up and say this is not the person we want representing our party."

Posted: August 18, 2010 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (August 18, 2010) — The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's leading authority on fitness and the largest fitness certification, education and training organization in the world, has teamed with Henkel, the company behind some of the nation's leading brands such as Dial®, Purex®, Renuzit®, Right Guard®, and Soft Scrub®, to support the company's Henkel Helps Get Kids Fit campaign through the launch of new educational tools on the Youth Fitness section of the ACE Get FitTM website. These online resources support the Henkel Helps Get Kids Fit campaign, which was recently launched to address, and help bring more attention to, the growing health and fitness concerns among the nation's youth.
"Childhood obesity has become a critical concern, as have the budget issues faced by schools across the country that have negatively impacted physical education programs," said Scott Goudeseune, ACE president and CEO. "We continuously strive to educate parents, teachers and ACE-certified fitness professionals on safe and effective physical activities for children, but we also believe it's important to support initiatives such as Henkel Helps Get Kids Fit to further motivate people and encourage them to inspire change in their communities."
According to the National Foundation on Physical Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, over 25 million American children over the age of six are obese or overweight—a five-fold increase in the last 30 years. As the leading authority on fitness, ACE is proud to offer its exclusive Operation FitKids™ curriculum, which was designed for educators, health and fitness professionals, and parents looking to integrate health and fitness into, and outside of, the classroom. The free curriculum (a $99.95 value) is composed of two seven-lesson modules—one developed for grades 3-5, and a brand new curriculum geared towards grades 6-8—both of which teach students the extreme dangers of being overweight and the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. In addition to housing the latest Operation FitKids curriculum, the Youth Fitness section of the ACE Get Fit website also features new youth-based resources including Fit Facts, exercise programming, answers to commonly asked questions and kid-friendly recipes.
Henkel Helps Get Kids Fit encourages parents, students, educators and community members to visit http://www.HenkelHelps.com to nominate their local school by answering a fundamental question with inspirational answers: "What Would Your School Do with $25,000 to Improve Youth Fitness?" Essay nominations will be accepted through September 30, 2010. Ten finalists, chosen by Henkel and ACE, will receive a free Flip™ video camera to create a brief video that brings to life the health and fitness issues facing their school and their idea for making the most of the $25,000 prize. Consumers will vote online at http://www.HenkelHelps.com to select the $25,000 winning school entry. At the same time, consumers can enter the Henkel Helps Get Kids Fit Sweepstakes, where someone will win $5,000 in fitness cash.
"The Henkel campaign falls right in line with our mission to inspire people of all ages to get active so we ultimately become a more-fit America," continued Goudeseune. "We are proud to support such an initiative and look forward to announcing a winner of the essay in January; however, we hope that the charge of motivating our youth will be carried out by every community."
Operation FitKids is available in an easy-to-download PDF format and is offered as a public service of ACE.
For more information on ACE and the Henkel Helps Get Kids Fit campaign, please visit http://www.acefitness.org/ofk/default.aspx. To nominate a school, go online to Henkel's promotion site at http://www.henkelhelps.com/EntertoWin/EntertoWinSchool.aspx.

Senior living facility throws mock Valentine's Day wedding
Guests entering Senior Class Care assisted living facility in Pequot Lakes on Thursday, Feb. 14, immediately found themselves in a makeshift "chapel."
Residents and guests sat on either side of the white aisle strewn with pink paper petals that flower girl Honor St. John dropped there.
The front of the "chapel" was adorned with streamers, balloons, bows, bells and flowers. Soft piano music wafted into the room that included three couples who have been married for a combined 130 years.
The mood was festive.
The scene was set for the Valentine's Day non-wedding of resident Virginia Wilson and adult day services client Bill Doolittle of Breezy Point.
"I, Virginia Wilson, take you, Bill, as my non-husband," Wilson repeated after "officiant" Carmen Schnoor, a Senior Class Care aide.
"I, George Bill Doolittle, take you, Ginny, as my non-wife," Doolittle repeated after Schnoor.
When vows were complete and rings exchanged, the non-couple walked down the aisle as confetti was thrown and bubbles blown. They had their first non-dance before the non-bride and non-groom retired to the dining room with their guests for dinner.
Where did this non-couple sit? At the head table, of course, under a sign that read "Just Married."

Gun-control group's list of victims of gun violence includes … Tamerlan Tsarnaev; Update: Group apologizes
posted at 12:41 pm on June 19, 2013 by Allahpundit
Wasn't Dzhokhar also wounded by the cops at some point? He's a victim of gun violence too, you know.
The event [in Concord, New Hampshire] had people supporting the Mayors Against Illegal Guns movement, founded by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, reading the names of those "killed with guns" since the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary outside their "No More Names" bus…
Some of the loudest shouts came when a reader spoke the name of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects who was killed by police during a gunfight.
"He's a terrorist," several protesters shouted.
Tamerlan himself usually avoided using guns when murdering people, of course. He blew some of them up at the marathon and allegedly slit the throats of three others a few years ago. I guess they figured he deserved mention because his hands are sort of "clean."
Seriously, do these cretins mean to imply that cops shouldn't have guns? Bloomberg's police force in NYC is so heavily armed that they're supposedly capable of shooting down a plane in a pinch. I'm guessing that means Bloomy himself is a "no" on that question, although I can't be sure: The hypocrisy of wealthy/privileged liberals in calling for the population to be disarmed while their own security teams remain armed to the teeth is legendary. As of this writing, the Mayors Against Illegal Guns website says 6,170 Americans have been murdered by people using guns since Newtown; I can't believe I have to ask this, but does that list include criminals — or terrorists — killed by police in an exchange of gunfire?
I can't believe I have to ask this either but I guess I do. Was the name of Sean Collier, the MIT police officer ambushed and murdered by the Tsarnaevs because they wanted his gun, also read at the Concord rally? If not, why not?
Update: Here's the inevitable clean-up attempt of a PR disaster. I still want to know whether Collier's name was read.
Alex Katz, deputy communications director for the Mayors Against Illegal Guns campaign, said rally organizers relied on a list compiled by Slate.com of people killed by guns since the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., "and his name was on the list."…
Tsarnaev "was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read. It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize," Katz said.

Fund your education though loans, scholarships, grants, and student employment.
Take advantage of several funding options for your undergraduate degree. There are also funding options for international students, such as scholarships, grants, and loans.
Grants and scholarships provide free money to help overcome financial challenges in getting a degree. There are university scholarships, grants from federal and state governments, as well as private funding to pursue.
Through the generosity of donors and organizations, endowed and scholarship funding is available to enrolled Lesley University students. Learn more about available donor scholarships.
Here is a list of private scholarships and scholarships search resources that may be of interest to you.
To receive your maximum eligibility for federal and/or state grants, you must register for all classes, including independent studies, and must have submitted completed consortium agreements before the end of each semester's add/drop period.
Several states provide grants and scholarships to assist undergraduate students with their higher education. Through agreements with grant agencies in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont, funds from these states may be disbursed to our students. Undergraduates in our bachelor's degree completion programs have received funding from the state of Massachusetts, including the Paraprofessional Teacher Preparation Grant, the Early Childhood Educators Scholarship, and the Math and Science Teachers Scholarship.
This program provides significant tuition discounts to veterans or their eligible dependents. Learn more about the Yellow Ribbon Program, including eligibility criteria.
You may be eligible for two types of discounts — one now, and one for your future graduate studies.
There is a 10% tuition discount for Lesley Alumni, Cambridge, Mass. residents, seniors ages 55+, and Cambridge Public School teachers for some campus-based courses within our Adult Bachelor's programs. Some restrictions apply. Inquire about the discount when you register.
If you decide to pursue a master's degree in one of our campus-based programs immediately after completing your bachelor's degree at Lesley, you may be eligible to receive 12 free graduate credits. The Lesley Dividend award is for Lesley students who have earned a minimum GPA of 3.6 in their undergraduate studies, were in an undergraduate program here for six consecutive semesters, and are enrolling full-time in one of our master's degree programs.
Federal loans help students finance a college education by borrowing federally backed funds at a reasonable interest rate.
Getting a loan from a private lender is one way to make up the difference between your education costs and the funding you have received from other sources. Before pursuing a private education loan, we recommend that you first research funding options, such as scholarships, grants, and state or federal loans.
Work part-time to cover personal expenses, tuition, or fees. We have two work programs available for undergraduate and graduate students — Federal Work Study, and Lesley Works. Pursue student employment through one of these two programs. You can also contact our Career Resource Center for a listing of jobs located off campus.

PL first-graders learn flag etiquette
1 / 2
2 / 2
First-graders at Eagle View Elementary School ventured to the Pequot Lakes American Legion on Friday, Sept. 27, where they learned all about the American flag.
Students attended a flag etiquette ceremony with the Post 49 Color Guard, which covered the Civic Values and Principals of Democracy Minnesota Social Studies Standard.
Students watched the movie, "For Which It Stands," learned basic flag etiquette and had hands-on instruction of proper folding of the U.S. flag.
They learned how to properly dispose of the flag before having lunch at the Legion with the color guard.


text: As I stated in another post, I have a hive that re-queened it's self. It has been almost two weeks and still there is no capped brood. Should I replace this queen, now? I am worried about the hive--there are still lots of bees and they have lots of honey(maybe too much)! I replaced some of the frames with drawn comb to give her more room to lay. Thanks for the help!

It was this 16th century pub where we settled in for the night - the Falkland Arms. With flagstone floors, oak beams and several English ales on tap, it proved to be the perfect English pub. In the evening we enjoyed baked English cheese, ciders and live folk music.
Throughout the weekend, we traveled down narrow roads past fields of bright yellow flowers, ancient stone alters and random roadside pubs. On Monday we ventured into a couple of the more tourist recognised towns - Broadway and Chipping Camden and while the crowds were not ideal, even bus loads of geriatrics couldn't take away from the beauty of the Cotswold stone cottages.
The other piece of news to update - it seems many could not follow directions so we received many votes for our June trip via emails. And the winner is.............

Should the Giants just do whatever it takes to get this guy? Last year the Cowboys traded up from 14 to 6 to pick a player who they thought would be a superstar in Claibourne. The Giants will most likely pick 18-20 and could use their 2nd to get into the top 10. Some people want to say that MLBs aren't worth that high of a pick but I beg to differ. Te'o could instantly step in and make a HUGE impact on this defense. He is a great leader with the ability to not only stop the run, but also cover the pass well. Plus is he a playmaker as he proved this year by almost winning the Heisman!
The Giants are sorely missing a man to hold down the middle and have been for years. Chase Blackburn is horrible in pass coverage but according to PFF he's even worse against the run. Te'o would solve this problem.

'Outsider' Network Access
We have some inventory software that scans our network and will show when other workgroups/domains have been connected. It came up recently and I brought this to the attention of our IT Director stating that some other computers had been connected to our network. She asked for some suggestions on how to control this, so I figured I'd ask here to see what everyone else does. My thoughts are to hook up a switch or wireless access point to a separate port on our firewall and just segment all the traffic off from the internal network. That way they can get access to the Internet, but nothing else. If it were my choice, I wouldn't even allow them to connect but I don't think that will fly

Statement of Faith
We believe that there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is God's written revelation to man and that it is verbally inspired, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory.
We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of the new birth in an unbeliever and indwells believers, enabling them to live a godly life.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. That alienation can be removed only by accepting through faith God's gift of salvation which was made possible by Christ's death.

Yes I belive that finding a "how to assemble a Para FAL A-Z" is kind of hard because much of it will be intrisically understood if you have all of the pieces on a table and can fondle them.
The big thing about the "para cut" receiver is that it needs the notch up front for the slightly different bolt carrier/top cover that the para uses.
The short answer is if you get the entire rear assembly from DSA etc (the $450 kit) you need only to notch the receiver to use it. Or buy a Para scope mount top cover as well, which doesn't have the ear. Can't remember now, need to look at it again.
Much of this was discussed a few years back:
If you search the entire forum for "para conversion" or "para receiver" or "para ____" etc. you should be able to find all the info you'll need.

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
we should definitely resign the guy
jacobs got paid the money he was looking for and took one snap if memory serves. he got cut before the season ended. no more jacobs. most RB's life spans in the league are roughly 5 years
I think we can get a even cheaper alternative, and Bennett was not making some plays he should of at end of season.. I think a guy like Travis Kelce Cincy can be every bit as good as Bennett , and probably better, and is also cheaper.. Jake Ballard and Kevin Boss were every bit as good, and they just happened to get the bulk of playing time, just like Bennett.. If Bennett was so good, he'd of clearly jumped those guys statistaclly, and i don't think he really did, and we got Boss in Rd5, and Ballard as UDF.. A guy like Kelce could be had in RD4 probably and is a studly blocker with speed and size, and wonderful hands.. U give him the bulk of playing time, and u will truly see a diffrence maker...
keep bennet and stop playing musical tight ends i think he will only get better and he played through injury plus hes a good in the run game and can be even better if he gets the knack staying on his blocks with a little more consistency.

Museum Hopping and Brownstone Shopping
Newton Hotel • New York, NY
Escape Kit
- A Minimum Two-Night Stay for Two in a Superior Queen Room (Priced per Night)
The Destination
Sandwiched between two of the city's most spectacular green spaces—Central Park and Riverside Park—the Upper West Side's bevy of tree-lined streets, one-of-a-kind boutiques, impressive cathedrals, and pre-war brownstones make this storied borough one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods. Culture vultures can easily spend hours in the nearby American Museum of Natural History or the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, but there's far more to the area than these illustrious institutions. On sunny weekends, make like the locals and stroll along the neighborhood's wide sidewalks en route to a gourmet grocer or a cheery French bistro.
The Digs
Located just two blocks away from both Central Park and Riverside Park, the Newton Hotel offers cozy accommodations within walking distance of the neighborhood's most unique attractions. Each Superior Queen room is adorned with stately, custom-made furniture and draperies, as well as contemporary amenities like Wi-Fi, an iPod docking station, and a 32-inch flat-screen TV. A complimentary continental breakfast and consultation with the friendly concierge is the perfect start to your two-night stay (priced per night). Afterward, spend the day shopping, museum hopping, and lunching at low-key cafes.
The Diversions
• American Museum of Natural History
• Bar Boulad
• Central Park
• Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
• The Metropolitan Museum of Art
"The Upper West Side is one of the city's quieter, more family-oriented neighborhoods, with wide sidewalks, a relatively slower pace, and more of a residential feel than you'll find in many other parts of New York City."-- Read Fodor's Review of the Upper West Side

Sister of Phylicia Barnes testifies at murder trial
BALTIMORE - Jurors in the murder trial of a man accused of killing a North Carolina teenager saw a sexually explicit cell phone video of the victim, her sister, the man accused of killing her and his younger brother.
The dead teen's sister also testified Monday at the trial of 28-year-old Michael Maurice Johnson, who is accused of killing 16-year-old Phylicia Barnes (seen above).
Twenty-nine-year-old Deena Barnes admitted that she gave Phylicia alcohol and said she and Phylicia were intoxicated when the cell phone video was recorded.
Johnson's lawyers have said there is no DNA evidence linking their client to the 2010 slaying of Phylicia, who lived in Monroe, N.C. The teenager was visiting relatives in Baltimore when she disappeared. Her body was found in the Susquehanna River months after she went missing.

Key Facts
#GOPshutdownThis is a #GOP Shutdown and even the Republicans know it. Click HERE for more information.
Budget Showdown
Download [PDF]
Republicans are driving America's middle class off a cliff – risking government shutdown and economic collapse in order to protect the ultra-wealthy, insurance company profits and corporate special interests.
- Republicans are voting to shut down the government if they can't make insurance companies richer by letting them have free rein to raise rates and take away protections that keep families from getting sick.
- There are commonsense solutions that can cut our deficit if we end tax breaks for millionaires and taxpayer subsidies for big corporations – but this Republican Congress refuses to ask millionaires and big corporations to pay their fair share, demanding that millions of middle class families face higher health care costs and fewer benefits instead.
Even business-oriented conservatives and Republican leaders know this is bad policy and bad politics. A recent CNN poll found that if there were a government shutdown, 51 percent of Americans would blame Republicans while just 33 percent would blame the President.
- The conservative Wall Street Journal Editorial Board compared the plan to "threaten(ing) to crash their Zeros into the aircraft carrier of ObamaCare" and a "kamikaze mission" that "rarely turns out well, least of all for the pilots."
- The United States Chamber of Commerce criticized the plan and Karl Rove, former advisor to President George W. Bush, wrote that this strategy is an "ill-conceived tactic" and "means we'll get" a government shutdown.
- Republicans, including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, former NRCC Chairman Tom Cole, Senator John McCain, WI Governor Scott Walker and others, have spoken out against the Republican approach.
If Republicans succeed at forcing a government shutdown, Members of Congress would still get paid, but:
- Social Security benefits for seniors who depend on them could be delayed
- Troops in harm's way would not get paid
- Returning veterans wouldn't get the benefits they're owed
Americans want Congress to listen to people of the other party and work with those they disagree with – but Republicans have taken an ideological, my-way-or-the-highway approach to get their demands.
- The House Republican leaders have given the keys to their Majority over to the Tea Party extremists. Speaker Boehner is more interested in keeping his gavel than keeping the economy running.
- Congressional Republicans are so focused on undermining the President and his agenda to boost the economy that they are willing to risk harming the economy and squeezing the middle class.
If Republicans can't succeed at shutting down government, their next target is to shut down the economy and force the country to default on its debts.
- Republicans are threatening an economic crisis that would be worse than the stock market crash 5 years ago, and they want the middle class to pay the price.
- Republicans won't pay the bills they've already racked up and want middle class families to pay the costs in higher Medicare bills, higher health care premiums and higher interest rates.
Social Security Benefit Payments Could be Delayed. "But the White House has warned there could be possible delays, and if the last shutdown in 1996 is any indication seniors should be ready for them […] In 1996, the Social Security Administration, unable to keep employees because of lack of funding, had to delay processing and payment of new entitlement claims. There was no one to answer phones at Social Security offices and the agency had to eventually request money to bring back some of the furloughed employees." [ABC, 2/28/11]
American Troops Would Not Get Paid. "The 27-year-old mother of four is 'furious' that parts of the federal government could shut down tomorrow if Congress cannot agree on a budget. If that happens, paychecks for military workers could be delayed indefinitely. Troops are guaranteed back-pay, but not knowing when they'll receive a check could put some military families in financial crisis […] All troops and certain civilian workers would not be paid during a shutdown, but would still be required to work because of national security operations. Many military families say they weren't even aware that this was a possibility." [CNN, 4/08/11]
- Politico: "Shutdown would delay military pay" [Politico, 9/20/13]
Veterans Affairs May Not Process New GI Bill Claims, Processing of Current Benefit Claims Could Happen on Reduced Schedule. "The Department of Veterans Affairs will continue to pay benefits to veterans who are already entitled to them, but won't process any new claims for the GI Bill during a government shutdown […] With the exception of the new GI Bill claims, the VA says processing of claims for benefits with [sic] continue, but probably on a reduced schedule." [Stars & Stripes, 4/07/11]
Some Civilian Defense Workers Would Not Get Paid, And May Not Receive Back Pay. "While troops and civilian workers would not be paid during an extended shutdown, all troops and certain civilians will still have to work, as part of national security operations. The troops are guaranteed back pay if they miss any checks. The civilians' back pay depends on congressional authorization." CBS reported, "And a number of Pentagon civilians, State Department officials and USAID staff would likely be furloughed." [CNN, 4/05/11; CBS, 4/06/11]
Families Would Have a Tougher Time Getting Mortgage Loans. "The shutdown could also make it harder for lower-income families to get mortgage loans because the Federal Housing Administration would suspend its guarantee program. The F.H.A. guaranteed about 21 percent of new mortgage loans in 2010, federal data shows." [New York Times, 4/07/11]
Last Shutdown Delayed ATF Applications, Recruitment of Law Enforcement Officials, Processing of Delinquent Child-Support Cases. "Delays occurred in the processing of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and explosives applications by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; work on more than 3,500 bankruptcy cases reportedly was suspended; cancellation of the recruitment and testing of federal law enforcement officials reportedly occurred, including the hiring of 400 border patrol agents; and delinquent child-support cases were delayed." [Congressional Research Service, 2/18/11]
In the 1990s, Government Shutdown Cost Taxpayers $1.25 Billion. "The Office of Management and Budget estimated early in 1996 that the first of two government shutdowns- for six days in November 1995- cost taxpayers an estimated $100 million per day. The final price tag for that closing and the record three-week shutdown later that year- including back pay to workers who did not go to work over that time: Over $1.25 billion. Other shutdowns have been costly too. According to the Government Accountability Office, a funding gap of just three days in 1991 rang up a $607 million bill, including $363 million in lost revenue and fees." [NBC, 2/24/11]
Despite bipartisan support, the only group that isn't willing to compromise on immigration reform appears to be Tea Party House Republicans. Politico reports that the bipartisan plan "landed with a thud" among Tea Party Republicans.

"Who the president called and did not call on that night matters, not only to Fox News hosts."
posted at 10:22 am on February 11, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham
The Washington Post media critic concedes there may be a story here after all. First, Eric Wemple notes CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson's attempts to get answers from the White House, which were repeatedly rebuffed. But Sen. Kelly Ayotte was able to take up the torch at Benghazi hearings, questioning Sec. Leon Panetta directly:
Ayotte coaxed these admissions out of Panetta:
AYOTTE: Did you have any other further communications? Did he ever call you that night to say how are things going, what's going on, where is the consulate?
PANETTA: No.
AYOTTE: Did you communicate with anyone else at the White House that night?
PANETTA: No.
AYOTTE: No one else called you to say, what, how are things going?
PANETTA: No.
Fox News sees significance behind the revelations. Sean Hannity last night tilted at the possibility that the president had done "AWOL" on Benghazi. Today the network has produced various follow-ups on the story. The rest of the media? Not a lot there, if searches of Google and Nexis are any indication. The confirmation hearing of CIA director nominee John O. Brennan, the case of Christopher J. Dorner and a Northeastern snowstorm have buried the Panetta story.
Well, yes, the Benghazi story has often been buried as other stories continue to take precedence, and I suspect it's not always because said stories are more important. Wemple's conclusion is one I hope shows up on the WaPo editorial page or will become evident in its reporting, which is right now focusing on whether it's "appropriate" for Sen. Lindsey Graham to hold up nominations to force answers on Benghazi:
The call for greater and greater detail on just what the president was doing on the night of Sept. 11 has strong footing: The United States, after all, lost an ambassador and three other personnel to terrorists on the anniversary of Sept. 11. Precisely who the president called and did not call on that night matters, not only to media critics and Fox News hosts, but also to the American public and the families of the Benghazi fallen. Even if the details may not expose a full-on scandal.
