thanks man! it looks really good painting it black, especially on the OBS trucks because the chrome that surrounds it usually made it blend in, but with it being black it stands out now which is always a plus.
You know I was curious if I really wanted to do this on my Sandstone 04...now I think I will! That looks AWESOME!

I'd like to begin with an apology for the lack of content on our site. Ted's Army will be undergoing some changes in the near future, resulting in a smaller amount of posts. We figured now is the perfect time to do so, seeing as it is the slowest time in baseball news. Please continue to check back, as we will continue to post to the site. Thank you for your continued support of Ted's Army, and we hope to make it better for you in the future.
Back to the topic...
Shane Victorino underwent successful thumb surgery yesterday, and he is not expected to miss any of Spring Training.
The Red Sox announced that right fielder Shane Victorino underwent successful nerve release surgery on his right thumb on Monday, and that the Gold Glove winner is expected to be ready to participate in spring training. The procedure was performed by Dr. Thomas Graham in Cleveland.
Sure, that's good news. I value Shane more for his glove than his bat, even though he had his moments in the playoffs. The thought of losing him in the outfield worries me more than missing him from the lineup. He won't be missing any time so, all is well with him right now.
Glad to hear more positive news than negative this off-season. It is very refreshing!

The Center for European Studies (CES) on the New Brunswick campus has a long-standing involvement with the former Soviet republics, including Georgia.
Rutgers has hosted a number of Georgian scholars in recent years in cooperation with the Soros Foundation's Open Society Institute (OSI). As part of an OSI Academic Fellowship Program and exchange program for faculty in institutions of higher education in the former Soviet Republics, Rutgers has hosted scholars from Georgia to further the modernization of university curricula, administration, and research. Rutgers' relationship with Georgia dates back to 2001 when the first AFP Professor Iago Kachkachishvili from Tiblisi State University (TSU) arrived in the spring of 2001. Since then, ten TSU faculty members in the social sciences and humanities have visited Rutgers as AFP Fellows, Fulbright scholars, and IREX Fellows. OSI scholars from Georgia at Rutgers include Iago Kachkachishvili (Sociology, 2001-2003), Tamar Kiknadze (Political Science, 2003), Medea Badashvili (Gender and Geography, 2005-2007), Lela Kiria (Gender Studies, 2010), Giorgi Gogsdze (Political and Social Geography, 2010-2012), and George Khelashvili (2011) from the Center for Social Sciences. In cooperation with the US Department of State's Junior Faculty Development (JFDP) Program, the School of Social Work (SSW) hosted Psychiatrist and Professor Eka Chkonia (2010) to study and research adult mental health.
Rutgers faculty and staff members Monica Devanas, Michael Rockland, Jan Kubik, Ira Cohen, Karen Zurlo, and Joanna Regulska have visited TSU several times to work with faculty on the development of curriculum, degree programs and collaborative research in institutional research, American studies, and gender studies. In the spring of 2010, Rutgers University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Tbilisi State University. In 2011, Rector Alexander Kvitashvili visited Rutgers to explore possible collaborations with faculty in social sciences, sciences, and various professional schools. In 2011, TSU awarded Joanna Regulska a Doctor Honoris Causa for her outstanding contribution to the development of gender studies through teaching and research. Currently, Fran Mascia-Lees serves as an International non-Residential Fellow and is assisting the Center for Social Sciences in the further expansion and development of the Gender Studies program.
Joanna Regulska and colleagues from the University of Arizona continue to return to Georgia to conduct National Science Foundation (NSF) sponsored research on every day practices and livelihood strategies of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who were displaced as a result of continuing conflicts between Russia and Georgia.

World Cup 1930
The first ever World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930. Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2. Before the final, neither side could agree on whose ball to use. The solution? The teams played with Argentina's ball during the first half and Uruguay's in the second. That was just the first of many soccer disputes to come!
World Cup 1950
The scheduled World Cups of 1942 and 1946 were canceled due to the outbreak of World War II. Brazil hosted the 1950 competition and was widely expected to beat Uruguay in the final. They were so confident that they prepared gold medals and a victory anthem. But Brazil lost 2-1 and the 210,000-person crowd went silent.
World Cup 1958
Soccer star Pelé broke out on the World Cup stage in 1958. He scored two goals in the final against the host country, Sweden. It was overwhelming for the 17-year-old, who shed tears at the final whistle. Pelé is still regarded by many experts as the best soccer player of all time.
World Cup 1966
The 1966 World Cup was memorable. It was the first to feature a mascot. It also had one of the most controversial goals in a World Cup final. England's Geoff Hurst took a shot in extra time against West Germany. It hit the crossbar and crossed the goal line—according to one official, at least. England, the host, took a 3-2 lead and won 4-2. Hurst scored the only hat trick to date in a final.
World Cup 1982
When you picture an exciting game, you may picture one like the 1982 World Cup. Italy's Marco Tardelli scored the second goal to put his team up 2-0 against West Germany. After he scored, he ran excitedly to the crowd. Tardelli's team won 3-1 and Italy took home its third World Cup.
World Cup 2002
The 2002 World Cup was the first to have joint hosts, in this case Japan and South Korea. At age 13, Souleymane Mamam of Togo became the youngest player ever to participate in a World Cup preliminary game. Brazil won the tournament for a record fifth time, beating Germany 2-0 in the final.
World Cup 2006
The 2006 World Cup was held in Germany. The final, which pitted France against Italy, attracted an estimated audience of 715 million people. Zinedine Zidane of France headbutted the chest of a player on the Italian team. Zidane's foul play got him removed from the game. Italy went on to win 5–3 in a penalty shootout. The 2006 series stands as one of the most-watched events in television history, with about 26.29 billion viewers worldwide.

Shimmer Effect Lotion Sunscreen with Mica Minerals SPF 40 is nearly identical to the SPF 20 version, and similarly disappoints as an option for sunscreen or shimmering highlighter. Primarily, the issue is that if you apply this sunscreen liberally, as you must to get the rated protection, the warm gold finish is really dramatic, probably too much for daytime (and who needs sunscreen at night?). Aside from the shimmer, this is mostly thickening agents, film-formers, and a few emollients at levels that are beneficial for combination to slightly dry skin not prone to breakouts.
While this does contain broad-spectrum sunscreens and antioxidants, it isn't a formula (primarily a mix of synthetic fragrance, a fragrant flower extract, and papaya extract) we recommend considering the dozens of better alternatives available from other brands,. Fragrance, whether natural or synthetic, is a problem for the skin, and papaya can be irritating for those with latex allergies (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
Just in case you're curious, this isn't a quality highlighter option product for the body; the finish is more obviously glittery than luminous, which probably is not what you're going for.
See our list of the Best Sunscreens (including Kids) section for our top picks.
Irritation from Fragrance: Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
Indulge and protect your skin with our line of Sun Protection products. Rich, luxurious formulas infused with an exotic blend of flora and fruit extracts provide your skin with optimal coverage. With our signature tropical coconut scent!
Active Ingredients: Avobenzone (3%), Octocrylene (6%), Oxybenzone (4%); Inactive Ingredients: Water, Diisobutyl Adipate, Ethylhexyl Benzoate, Glyceryl Stearate, Acrylates/C12 22 Alkyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Glycerin, Hydrated Silica, Mica, Polyglyceryl 3 Methylglucose Distearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Sodium Polyacrylate, Titanium Dioxide, Chlorphenesin, Silica, Paraffin, Disodium EDTA, PEG 8 Dimethicone, Colocasia Antiquorum Root Extract, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Fruit Extract, Passiflora Incarnata (Passionflower) Fruit Extract, Plumeria Acutifolia (Plumeria) Flower Extract, Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Juice, Octyldodecanol, Retinyl Acetate (Vitamin A), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Sodium Propoxyhydroxypropyl Thiosulfate Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance
Strengths: Almost all of the sunscreens provide broad-spectrum protection; inexpensive; above-average self-tanner and lip balm with sunscreen.
Weaknesses: Many products have SPF ratings of 15 or less, which medical boards around the world have demonstrated is a problem for the skin; products that encourage tanning, which research has shown causes premature aging and, potentially, cancer; every formula we tested contains multiple fragrance ingredients known to be irritating.
Founded in 1969, Hawaiian Tropic remains one of the oldest brands in the sun-care aisle at the drugstore, and it seems they're short on innovation. Overwhelmingly, this tropical-themed brand lacks the advancements in sunscreen formulas that other drugstore options (including product lines like Neutrogena and Coppertone) have long ago adopted.
Even more mind numbing is the number of sunscreens Hawaiian Tropic sells with an SPF 15 or less. At the time of this review, some of their SPF 14 (and even lower-rated) sunscreens still claim to provide broad-spectrum sun protection. This is a significant step outside of regulations, as the FDA no longer allows sunscreen products to be marketed as broad-spectrum sunscreens if they have an SPF rating of less than 15; some countries have even higher mandatory SPF rating regulations.
In the United States, when a brand chooses to sell a sunscreen with an SPF rating of less than 15, they are required to display the following warning as part of their Drug Fact Labeling:
Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. This product has been shown only to prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.
At the time of this review, none of the Hawaiian Tropic sunscreens we tested (with ratings of less than SPF 15) bore this required label. As disappointing as it is for us to see such products still on the market, they are relatively easy to avoid by sticking to those we recommend in the Best Sunscreens (including Kids) section of Beautypedia.
Adding to the pain in our brain about this line, Hawaiian Tropic is one of the few brands that still sells tanning oils and creams; in other words, they're selling products that actually encourage unprotected sun exposure to get a deeper tan. You might as well hand someone a cigarette at the same time—it is that bad for your skin (and your health) to tan.
They even sell "after-sun" products, which might confuse consumers if they believe any of these after-sun options can reverse or counter the sun damage. Obviously, Hawaiian Tropic knows the sun is damaging; otherwise, why would they sell products to counter the damage? In truth, the research is clear: If the skin is tan after exposure to the sun, there is harm to skin cells (and your DNA), and it's immediate. Such damage can be partially repaired, but only to a certain extent, and only over time—and your skin has a long memory (in terms of damage) from each time it was exposed to damaging UV light, whether the sun was shining or not.
Those with sensitive skin take note: Hawaiian Tropic products are extensively fragranced—every sunscreen, body oil, and lip balm we tested contained a potent array of perfumes (including papaya extract, which can be problematic for those with latex allergies). Also worth mentioning is that there are no mineral sunscreen options available from Hawaiian Tropic, so those who are sensitive to synthetic sunscreen actives are out of luck shopping this line.
Ultimately, the Hawaiian Tropic brand is no vacation for your skin. They offer some reliable, affordable options, but sun-care products from neighboring brands on the drugstore shelves are more desirable—in more ways than one!
For more information about Hawaiian Tropic, visit www.hawaiiantropic.com .
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.
Beautypedia cuts through the hype to bring you product insights and recommendations you won't find anywhere else!

Leave the salsa at home, time to skin little blue!
Ya I was ashamed last game. We just are terrible on defense. Actually scared about tonight, you guys are a great team. I hope our offense can match your offense productivity, otherwise it might be a long game.
**** talk aside, It will be a fun game to watch. I have a lot of New York giant fans friends and I usually trash talk them as we'll. it's just the way I am. It's my way of fun. I have respect for the ny organization, they usually get things done near the end of the season always getting in.

Ah, election time.... The national news is already full of stories about votes not being counted, deranged voting equipment, fraud, corruption, and a thousand-and-one other issues that make us wonder: does our vote really count?
So, as you head to the polls on November 2, are you going to feel like you made a difference when you push that button?

Fun little topic from the people over at Bigblueview ranking the Giants roster in terms of importance/impact 1-53. I won't go quite that far in depth, but I will give you my top 10 Giants of 2012 so far.
1. Eli Manning- Over the last 4 games the Giants offense has racked up 1,877 yards which is the most for any four game stretch in franchise history. If he upsets the Niners this week look for the Eli for MVP campaign to really heat up
2. Victor Cruz- Top 10 in the NFL in catches, yards, first downs and leads the league with 5 TD receptions
3.Bradshaw- He is as physically tough and as competitive as anyone I have ever been around.- Tom Coughlin
4. JPP- The splash plays haven't been there, but he's been among the leagues best DE's against the run and according to PFF he ranks 15th among DE's in pass rush productivty. Again not up to our high standards, but still remains our biggest force on the defensive side of the ball.
5. Beatty- Having a breakout season as he has not allowed a sack or hit all season long. Big test tomorrow against the 49ers will give us an idea just how far he's come
6. Andre Brown- Will probably see his role relegated from here on out, but lets not forget that he performed so well in bradshaws absence that he had the majority of Giant fans thinking he should remain the starter. Also leads the team with 3 rushing TD's.
7. Bennett- 2nd on the team in catches and TD receptions, also looks to have made a huge improvement in the Giant rushing attack
8. Prince- Perhaps the only bright spot in a Giant secondary that currently ranks second to last in yards per attempt.
9 Hynoski- Turning in to one of the league's best FB's and has perhaps the best hands of any Giant fullback since greg comella
10. Sean Locklear- Might not be our future, but he is our present. Has played both left and right tackle admirally and is giving Bennett a run for his money for best NYG FA pickup of the year

My GCIH review
This was the first time I had a chance to use the SANS OnDemand training method and I have some mixed feelings about it:
* Very Portable - while out of the office, I was able to access the material when I needed it. This was very handy while waiting for my Red-eye flights back from California to the East Coast.
* MP3's For Download - SANS makes the MP3's available for download which makes flights go by quickly and allows me to learn while in cramped quarters (In case you don't know I'm 6″4 and don't travel well on Airplanes designed for 1950's sized passengers).
* End of Section Tests - each section ends with a test to ensure that you know the content prior to moving on. This really prevents you from blowing through topics that you THINK you know.
* No Dead Trees - I am the kind of person who like to be able to have the material printed out and in hand. I tend to absorb it better when reading old fashioned printed books. I wish that they'd include them in the cost of the On Demand course.
* Presentation - I know for a fact that these On Demand sessions are SANS' first crack at self-paced training. They are quite rough around the edges and do require some added bells and whistles to keep my interest. Perhaps they should invest in a different Web Based Training package that doesn't look like it's optimized for Netscape 4
* Accuracy - not of the content but the way it is presented to the user. There was one section that was not covered and I would not have been able to pass the test at the end of the section had I not ordered the books (and used them as reference). I emailed in, as per their process, and it was fixed several days later. Had I not had the books I would not have been able to progress to the next section and 7 days would have felt like an eternity.
Anyone else have similar experiences with this method from SANS?

Disability Mentoring Day puts local students to work
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - More than 40 local students got to try out their dream jobs Wednesday. It is part of National Disability Mentoring Day. Students shadowed and even helped out in many local businesses.
"I like it all. I don't have a favorite part," said Kristina, a senior at Idaho Falls High School.
She spent the day at the Defining Line Salon. Her dream is to make people feel beautiful, which is why she wants to become a cosmetologist.
A teacher recommended Kristina participate in Disability Mentoring Day. It's for students with a wide range of challenges, whether that be something like ADHD or maybe a physical limitation.
The annual event sends dozens of students into the community to try out dream jobs.
"Sometimes the kids come back and say, boy it's not what I thought it'd be, which is good information to have, and sometimes they come back and say yeah, this is exactly what I want to do," said Russ Rapp, a special education teacher at IFHS.
"I've learned a lot about the lab, I don't think that's what I want to do. I'm thinking more R.N." said Angelique, a junior from IFHS. She shadowed at Mountain View Hospital, along with several other young women.
Shane and Larry want to work with a different kind of needle. They are talented artists and want to try their hands at tattooing.
Shane brought his portfolio and shared a drawing of an anchor with the word "mom".
"This one I drew for my mom, which eventually I want to get tattooed sooner or later," he said.
Students are not the only ones who benefit from the day.
"It's also great opportunity for employers to see that people with disabilities make excellent employees if they are given the chance," said Irene Jones, disability services coordinator for Eastern Idaho Technical College.
"No matter what a person's strong points or weak points are, we are helping them be all that they can be. I think it's a small business' responsibility to reach out to the community in every way possible and make a difference," said Amy Hanson, owner of Defining Line.
According to Rapp, every year a few students actually are hired for paid work by the business they shadowed.
There will be an awards luncheon this Friday, where the students can reflect on their experience.

Donna Karan Spring 2012
The passions and obsessions of Donna Karan have been a guiding principle of every single thing that the designer has done since she started back in the eighties. Karan's initial success was founded on the Seven Easy Pieces that she came up with, but now the aim of those—to help and empower women through easy to wear, easy to understand, easy to love clothes—has taken on more universal concerns; helping and empowering has taken a bigger, more dramatic narrative arc. So it is that with next spring's collection we travel, courtesy of Karan, to Haiti, where she has been spending a lot of her time, throwing her energies into rebuilding communities there through initiatives that will foster the notion of exporting Haitian craftsmanship and artistry to the world. Karan always puts her money where her mouth is: Her Urban Zen store has carried quietly beautiful graphic mud-colored wraps made in Haiti, with the proceeds of the sales going to charities she supports there. Her spring, though, is all about her idea of the island, with, for instance, the pinwheel prints on full, draped cotton skirts inspired by the likes of Port-au-Prince artist Phillippe Dodard. It is, in essence, a paean to a land she has come to love.
That's the back-story, so what about the clothes? And that's where we return to the guiding impulse that led her to set up the company in the first place; fanciful notions don't mean anything, Karan realizes, unless they're grounded in reality. The more explicitly literal renderings of her theme aside, Karan drew, then, on Haiti to give her an earthy brown and bone-color palette (with the occasional flash of intense violet; purple is the accent color of spring 2012), and used it for clothes that spoke of ways to soften urban dressing, like a chic pale creamy white stretch cotton canvas dress that flatteringly draped at the neck, then narrowed, then let loose in controlled waves of volume. (It's that silhouette that has emerged as marking out the dress of the season). Or she offered up a simple city uniform of organza shirts over gently undulating skirts worn with stretch band sandals on substantial flat-wedge heels. It's the pieces in the Dodard-ian prints that are, though, the heart and soul of the collection. And with the surface of clothes having become so important thus far this season thanks to the endless, endless procession of prints on the runway, Karan's passion for the source of her patterns means that hers go way, way deeper.

PCI Requires Pen Testing
I can't stress enough how vastly important it is that everyone read this thoroughly and understand it. I'm pretty confident that other industries will follow suit.
Release date: 2008-04-15
Standard: Data Security Standard (DSS)
Requirement: 11.3
Date: March 2008
Information Supplement: Requirement 11.3 Penetration Testing
PCI DSS Requirement 11.3 addresses penetration testing, which is different than the external and internal vulnerability assessments required by PCI DSS Requirement 11.2. A vulnerability assessment simply identifies and reports noted vulnerabilities, whereas a penetration test attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible. Penetration testing should include network and application layer testing as well as controls and processes around the networks and applications, and should occur from both outside the network trying to come in (external testing) and from inside the network. Who performs penetration testing The PCI DSS does not require that a QSA or ASV perform the penetration test—it may be performed by either a qualified internal resource or a qualified third party. If internal resources are being used to perform penetration tests, those resources must be experienced penetration testers. The individuals performing penetration testing should be organizationally separate from the management of the environment being tested. For example, the firewall administrator should not perform the firewall-penetration testing.
Reporting and documentation
It is recommended that both the penetration test methodologies and results are documented. PCI SSC has no reporting requirements for penetration tests, however the results should be retained to follow up on the identified issues and as evidence to be reviewed by those performing the PCI DSS assessment.
The scope of penetration testing is the cardholder data environment and all systems and networks connected to it. If network segmentation is in place such that the cardholder data environment is isolated from other systems, and such segmentation has been verified as part of the PCI DSS assessment, the scope of the penetration test can be limited to the cardholder data environment. Frequency Penetration testing should be performed at least annually and anytime there is a significant infrastructure or application upgrade or modification (for example, new system component installations, addition of a sub-network, or addition of a web server). What is deemed "significant" is highly dependent on the configuration of a given environment, and as such cannot be defined by PCI SSC. If the upgrade or modification could impact or allow access to cardholder data, then it should be considered significant. Significance within a highly segmented network where cardholder data is clearly isolated from other data and functions is very different than significance in a flat network where every person and device can potentially access cardholder data. As a security best practice, all upgrades and modifications should be penetration-tested to ensure that controls assumed to be in place are still working effectively after the upgrade or modification.
There are several methodologies that can be used for penetration testing. The first decision that needs to be made is how much knowledge the tester has of the system being tested. Having no prior knowledge is known as "black box testing," where the tester must first identify the location of the systems before attempting any exploits. Having explicit knowledge is known as "white box testing." If it is determined that it would be beneficial for the tester to have prior knowledge, there are several items required by other PCI DSS requirements that generate information that can be used. Those PCI DSS items include:
• A network diagram (1.1.2)
• Results from a QSA review or Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ)
• Annual testing of controls to identify vulnerabilities and stop unauthorized access (11.1)
• Results from quarterly external and internal vulnerability scans (11.2)
• Results from the last penetration test (11.3)
• Annual identification of threats and vulnerabilities resulting in a risk assessment (12.1.2)
• Annual review of security policies (policies that need to be updated may identify new risks in an organization) (12.1.3)
Documentation from all of the above should be evaluated, and threats and vulnerabilities found as part of the normal assessment processes should be considered for inclusion.
Once the threats and vulnerabilities have been evaluated, design the testing to address the risks identified throughout the environment. The penetration test should be appropriate for the complexity and size of an organization. All locations of cardholder data, all key applications that store, process, or transmit cardholder data, all key network connections, and all key access points should be included. The penetration tests should attempt to exploit vulnerabilities and weaknesses throughout the cardholder data environment, attempting to penetrate both at the network level and key applications. The goal of penetration testing is to determine if unauthorized access to key systems and files can be achieved. If access is achieved, the vulnerability should be corrected and the penetration test re-performed until the test is clean and no longer allows unauthorized
access or other malicious activity.
Consider including all of these penetration-testing techniques (as well as others) in the methodology, such as social engineering and the exploitation of exposed vulnerabilities, access controls on key systems and files, web-facing applications, custom applications, and wireless connections.
Important Considerations
• With respect to PCI compliance, testing of vulnerabilities or mis-configurations that may lead to DoS attacks which target resource (network/server) availability should not be taken into consideration by the penetration testing since these vulnerabilities would not lead to compromise of cardholder data.
• Communicate timing and scope of penetration testing to all affected parties throughout the organization.
• Perform testing in accordance with critical company processes including change control, business continuity, and disaster recovery.
• Perform all penetration testing during a monitored maintenance window.
About the PCI Security Standards Council
The mission of the PCI Security Standards Council is to enhance payment account security by driving education and awareness of the PCI Data Security Standard and other standards that increase payment data security.
The PCI Security Standards Council was formed by the major payment card brands American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc. to provide a transparent forum in which all stakeholders can provide input into the ongoing development, enhancement, and dissemination of the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS), PIN Entry Device (PED) Security Requirements, and the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS). Merchants, banks, processors,
and point-of-sale vendors are encouraged to join as Participating Organizations.

August 30, 2010/Detroit Free Press
By Lori Higgins
About half of the 250 students on the Ferris State University campus last week for student orientation had needs more pressing than just signing up for classes: They were trying to figure out how to pay for those classes.
Similar scenes have been unfolding in financial-aid offices at colleges and universities across Michigan as students, for reasons that range from procrastination to a sudden drop in income, find themselves searching for what may seem like a miracle.
Most students are discovering a sliver of hope. Financial-aid experts say they can still apply for some federal loans and grants. Some scholarship money also may be available.
"It's definitely not too late," said Rob Wirt, president of the Michigan Student Financial Aid Association and director of financial aid at Ferris State, where classes are scheduled to begin today.
Students scrambling to pay for tuition
Nijal Journey usually has his financial-aid situation squared away well before the academic year begins at Wayne State University. But this year, with just weeks to go before the start of classes, he found himself in the financial-aid office looking for a way to pay his college bills.
"It was definitely a concern. ... If I didn't get that taken care of, I wouldn't have been able to start," said Journey, 27, of Detroit, a senior secondary education major.
The financial-aid staff at Wayne State helped Journey find enough scholarships and loans that he could use not only to pay off the $1,900 he owed for two summer classes he took this year -- a balance that would have prevented him from registering if it went unpaid -- but also to pay for classes that begin Wednesday.
Financial-aid directors said last-minute problems with paying tuition keep their offices bustling this time of year.
Across Michigan, most universities will begin classes soon; some have already started. "We have some last-minute people. A lot of times, it's the students and parents that didn't realize how long it takes to do some of this stuff," said Rob Wirt, director of financial aid at Ferris State University, where classes are scheduled to begin today.
The good news is that even though the deadline to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is June 30, and most colleges recommend that students file months earlier, students can still file an application and likely receive federal loans or the need-based Pell Grant, which has a maximum award of $5,500 this year. But it may be too late for the federal work-study program, which provides money for tuition in exchange for working part-time campus jobs. "Most schools have awarded those," said Al Hermsen, director of financial aid at Wayne State.
"We simply have more students who want to work than we have funds from the federal government," said Wirt, who tells students to check back in October to see whether any work-study funds have been freed up by students who've opted out of the program.
The financial-aid experts said it's important for stressed-out students to know that if their, or their parent's, financial situation has changed because of a job loss since they filed an application for financial aid, there is still time to make adjustments that could help them pay for school.
Schools generally require such students to file a special consideration appeal "to have us look at what your real financial health is," Wirt said. "We can make adjustments if appropriate."
Whether students file early or at the last minute, they'll find most universities have increased the amount of financial aid available, largely because of increased need and the state's economy. That's important, given that families are increasingly relying on financial aid to pay for college, said Mark Delorey, director of financial aid at Western Michigan University.

Deeper Learning: A Collaborative Classroom Is Key
What's ideal when it comes to collaboration in our classrooms? Here's one coveted scenario: several children gathered at a table engaged in a high-level task, discussing, possibly debating an issue, making shared decisions, and designing a product that demonstrates all this deeper learning.
As teachers, we'd love to see this right out the gate, but this sort of sophisticated teamwork takes scaffolding. It won't just happen by placing students together with a piece of provocative text or an engaging task. (Heck, this deeper learning collaboration is challenging for most adults!)
In preparing our students for college and careers, 21st century skills call on us to develop highly collaborative citizens -- it's one of the 4 Cs, after all.
So how do we begin this scaffolded journey? Once we've shared with students the task or assessment they are challenged to complete with their group, here's some suggested steps for supporting students in deep and meaningful collaboration:
Establish Group Agreements
Deciding on group norms, or agreements, right at the get go will give each student a voice and provide accountability for all. Although the Center for Adaptive Schools' Seven Norms of Collaboration are to be used with adult groups, use them to inspire more "kid-friendly" worded norms to offer up to your students. Children (depending on the age) might come up with things like: "one person talks at a time," "respect each other and all ideas," and "no put downs." A poster of the shared agreements can be displayed and when necessary, called attention to when a student or group needs a reminder.
Accountability is an important factor in group working agreements. Since a teacher must find creative and effective ways to monitor multiple groups working at once in the classroom, assigning roles can be incredibly helpful. For example, if students are working in a group of four reading and analyzing an article, say, on immigration reform in the United States, you may have "an investigator," "a recorder," "a discussion director," and "a reporter." For the group to be successful, each child must complete the jobs that accompany his/her role.
Teach Them How to Listen
Good listeners are both rare and valued in our culture. I share this with students. I also share how people who really listen (make eye contact, offer empathy, restrain from cutting others off in a conversation) are easy to like and respect.
Save The Last Word is a great activity that allows students to practice listening. Provide several rounds of this structured activity followed by time for students to reflect on the experience and evaluate their own listening skills.
Children also need opportunities to restrain themselves from speaking in order to keep their attention on listening. Consider adding "Three then Me" to the class norms/agreements. This simply means that before one can speak again, they need to wait for three others to share first.
Teach Them the Art of Asking Good Questions
Have the class generate questions on any given topic, writing each one on the board. Decide on the most pressing and interesting questions of the bunch and discuss with students what makes these particular ones stand out. Talk about the types of questions that more often yield the best responses -- those that are open-ended, thoughtful and sometimes even daring.
Describe how well-received questions are neutral and don't sound as if someone is being interrogated. Introduce them to invitational questions stems such as, "When you think about ______, what comes to mind?" and, "Considering what we already know about ______, how will we ____?" As a scaffold, provide a handout with question starters for students to use during group discussions.
Students also need to know about wait time. Explain -- better yet, demonstrate -- that once someone in the group poses a question, there needs to be a few seconds of silence, giving everyone time to think.
Teach Them How To Negotiate
A group member who speaks the loudest and frequently asserts may get the most said but that doesn't mean they'll convince a group of anything. A good negotiator listens well, shows patience and flexibility, points out shared ideas and areas of group agreement, and thinks under pressure.
After sharing this list with students, generate together more characteristics to add to it. Indulge them in a brief activity called "Build a Consensus." In this activity, set the timer and give mere minutes to group plan a mock birthday party, fieldtrip, or a lunchtime meal so they can practice their negotiation skills.
Model What We Expect
When it comes to creating a highly collaborative classroom, teachers need to model listening, paraphrasing, artful questioning and negotiation any and every chance they get. In a student-centered classroom, we really do very little actual teaching (in the traditional sense of the word). What we find ourselves mostly doing is facilitating learning experiences for whole and smaller groups. Sending our students out in the world with the incredible ability to effectively facilitate a group is a 21st century skill crucial to success in the university and the work world.
This reminds me of the design company IDEO. An employee there was promoted to guide a team in redesigning the shopping cart not because of seniority but because "he's good with groups." Ultimately, this guy was highly skilled at creating a space for all ideas to be heard, respected, and built on.
Group Brain Power
Learning, and higher-level learning such as synthesizing information from several documents or analyzing scientific data, can hit much deeper when done collaboratively. Let's not forget Lev Vygotsky and his educational theory that proposes learning as a social process. And if he were alive today, he would most likely agree with the saying, Two minds are better than one. He might even add, "Better yet, how about three or four?"

I thought that this was a great article for getting students to work better in groups. I am currently taking a group dynamics class and found that a lot of the recommendations here were the same things that we have been learning and doing in our class to work in groups.
I had never heard the "three then me" rule before, though. I really like this idea because it gives everyone a chance to talk and keeps students from being too overbearing in their groups.
Collaboration is one of the things that students seem to have problems with. In today's society it is becoming easier and easier to have conversations through media and not face to face. Getting students to work together in groups, face to face is hard. Different learning styles and personalities will clash. You'll end up with those who will always speak up and comment and those who will just follow the crowd. Teaching the students right from the start how to work together is a great idea. Allowing them to make up the ground rules and determine what is acceptable gives them a sense of control over what they are suppose to do. Many students will need to do several rounds of the exercises to remember them. This article gives you many great ideas to help you get your students to work together.
I think that having an Collaborative Classroom is a great way to have students learn. Working in a group helps students step outside there norm and allows the student to do something they might not do normally.
I completely agree with the importance of collaborative learning. This will teach students how to work in a group setting, listen effectively, and learn how to ask engaging questions. They will also learn how to respectfully debate an issue with classmates. In this day and age it is highly important to teach students how to respectfully disagree with one another on any issue.
It is very important for there to be collaboration in a classroom. For a student to start working in groups and finding their own roles within their groups gives them more preparation and building skills for whats to come after school. There is a lot of good information throughout this article, I have not yet started teaching inside of a classroom but I will take these ideas with me as I start my journey through my teaching career.
Collaboration is an important part of the classroom. America is one of the most individualistic societies. However, every part of life calls for working well with others, from childhood through adulthood. This skill needs to be taught to our students. Life is not all about the "me" in society. Students must learn listening, paraphrasing, effective questioning, and negotiation skills to excel at home, in the workplace, at school, and elsewhere.
Collaboration causes students to be more actively involved in learning, when students are engaged with their group-mates and fulfilling their part of the whole. Because of the social aspect, students can often be more motivated to learn concepts deeper and demonstrate their knowledge.
Coming from the teacher and student point of view I must say collaboration in the classroom is a necessity, but you must be careful. Teachers must be sure that the students working together feel as though they are in a safe and secure environment. People are more likely to share with the peers they are most comfortable with. Collaboration can work best later in the school year, this way everyone has a chance to get acquainted and feel comfortable sharing. Be sure, as a teacher, to pay attention to the relationships between your students. Everyone must be able to get along and feel open to one another. It is our human nature to want to connect and talk with others; as teacher's let us make sure it is done the right way.
In my experience over recent years, as group work has gotten increasingly more popular and "in demand" in the classroom (from an educator's perspective), it has become clear to me that students who are not group learners, need to be considered. They need to know that their learning styles are respected and given thought when planning daily activities. I'm not saying group work shouldn't be done any less, but that students should have an occasional opportunity to build their own dynamic in their groups. Set up loose guidelines as far as number of people, goals of the assignment, and roles of group members, then let them decide. This is a good way to determine which students need more collaboration experience as well as which ones learn and produce at a higher level while working independently. I agree that everyone needs to know how to collaborate and work in groups to succeed in the workforce, but I believe giving individuals the opportunity to get the most out of their education is just as important.
When the media is focusing on one-"ness" such as an army of 1, or all the individual games kids play, video and computer, that are out there for our children who spend tons of time on it is good to focus on collaboration as a skill.
This article discusses how we need to incorporate this into our teaching skill set. If we are teaching to all exceptional learners we should go and have group time/problem solving in all of our classes. By doing this we do teach the ability of collaboration.
Coming from the "outside world" much of my time as an administrator was taken up in collaboration of a problem and what responses would help in the different problems being faced by the department and what could be done to help the situation. Some of the best bosses I had would let you speak and listened to what was said. It is a skill that everyone needs in the work force.
Classroom collaboration teaches students a lot of important skills that they will use through out their lives. I believe the most important thing on this list is to model what we expect. If we can show that we're able to do the things we say and teach our students will most likely follow in our footsteps and try it out.

Then you suggest we bring in the DC of the defense that was 32nd.
Printable View
and btw, great point on the dump fewell for spags argument.
spags has done nothing on any other team he's coached, and the pass rush he used so masterfully on this one is literally gone now.
That's not on the DC.
I also think (as I have said before) that PF's defense works better in the modern NFL with more mobile QB's. A bunch of press coverage is a recipe for giving up tons of yards by running QB's.
Not saying this is you though. Not all older people are crazy and impatient.
Umm how about Fewel and the D line coach help him ?? I dont understand why they need outside retired player to what motivate a million dollar player ? or is it tactical advice ?. Either way it seems shocking that we need to do this.
Here is a suggestion why dont you send all our lbers to LT to get some advice.
And send our corners to seek Mark Collins, Phillipi Sparks etc advice.

that Eli is just average QB at best. Hear me out...yeah you argue that he has 2 SB rings, but if you look at those SB runs, Giants fed off of the Defense and especially the defensive line when Strahan was the center of it.
Now that's out of the way, if you look at the 2013 season where Giants are 0-4 on the season, the Oline is not protecting but then Eli is not an athletic QB unlike other QB in the NFCE division where he can escape and makes plays CONSISTENTLY. His mobility limitation is on display in the past 4 weeks.
Anyway, GO Giants at 0-4...keep it up guys!

I have seen several posts where apple cider vinegar is used with sugar for feeding, some in pretty large amounts. I have just completed a cider press and was trying to determine how to preserve or what to do with the quantities that I have been squishing out. Does anybody make their own Cider or Vinegar? My search reveals that it is just allowing air to hit the hard cider but tips would be nice because the apples are done and the last 100 lbs of mine are sitting in the garage.
I dont know if this is brewing, more like squishing, fermenting and rotting

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
the action of placing your hand flat across your face in order to show that you are frustrated or embarrassed about something
'… Republican candidates Mike Cox, Tom George, Mike Bouchard and Peter Hoekstra inspired more than a few face palms from those of us who recognized the seriousness of the state's problems – but saw little seriousness from this unimpressive crew.'Michigan View.com 20th May 2011
'… Alexis was let out of her cage for exactly 20 minutes to go buy some ugly cowboy boots. She asked if they carried the "Good Christian" style, you know … pink, bedazzled, and with a four inch heel … the poor sales guy of course facepalmed and said "no" and there was a lot of giggling …'Chicago Now 30th April 2011
A smile, wink, frown, thumbs-up, thumbs-down, clenched fist, scratch of the head, grimace, furrow of the brow – all these are gestures of non-verbal communication which can convey our feelings far more effectively than words. And there's another gesture which you'll doubtless be familiar with, that expression of dismay, frustration or embarrassment conveyed by moving our hand up against our face. Though we may recognize it, how do we describe it? Well now there's finally a single term of reference for it: the word facepalm.
the facepalm is a gesture which is common in many cultures, and even sometimes seen in chimpanzees
If you're still having trouble visualizing exactly what a facepalm is, check out the following image. The facepalm is a gesture which is common in many cultures, and even sometimes seen in chimpanzees! Although a facepalm is usually used to express frustration or embarrassment, in the context of a surrounding conversation it can also be used to express other emotions, such as disgust or dismay. A facepalm is often a reaction to a momentary lapse in common sense, judgement, or logical behaviour. It can be directed towards another person – i.e.: a non-verbal way of saying "I can't believe you just said/did that …" – or used in a self-deprecating way to make it clear to others that you're aware that you've said or done something stupid.
The word facepalm is of course a compound (occurring as closed, hyphenated or open) formed from the nouns face and palm, where the latter refers to the inside part of the hand. It occurs as a countable noun and an intransitive verb.
Facepalm first appeared about five years ago, and has steadily gained ground as a popular term in Internet culture, galvanized by its status as an Internet meme (an idea that spreads very quickly via the Internet). One of the most popular facepalm images circulating the Web is of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, a character in the Star Trek Next Generation TV series, clutching his face in disbelief.
The word itself is most common in online discourse, where, much like LOL (an abbreviation for laughing out loud) it represents a conversational gesture or facial expression, effectively expressing a 'non-verbal' gesture in a 'verbal' way. There's also some evidence for the related term facefist, a kind of hyponym of facepalm which is used when a feeling of frustration is so overwhelming that you feel the need to punch yourself in the face – ouch!

What an A whopping going on. Alabama is just smothering Michigan. Denard Robinson is just not accurate enough QB to beat Bama. 21-0 in the 1st quarter. It really looks like Men against boys so far
Ohio state will be very good with heir new head coach. He just wins. By the way, I said Alabama would beat up on Michigan. It's getting to be embarrassing now.
Agree about their offense. I knew their defense was very good, but the offense surprised me tonight.
by the way, Oliver RB Buff managed to carry 30times 111yrd 1td against Georgia today.. Not great on the YPC pct 3.7, but certainly prooved he can do some damage against big time clubs...
Kenjon Barner is gonna be a 2nd rder.. Hes just so freaking dangerous!
One of my favorite players in the country Kenny Vaccaro got himself a Pick in first game of the yr.. If we can't resign KP, i'm telling you, this is the guy i want! Vaccaro is a beast!

It was grassroots support from early adopters like you that proved to New York publishing houses that there was an audience for Daemon. Without that critical support, my little self-published book might have quietly disappeared.

Reds win!
Redszone never doubted ya, boys!
Can we get Altuve for the Cairo spot?
All wins feel huge, but to win these last two the way they have.... wow. Just wow. What an amazing season this has been.
Homer gets screwed by Logan...
Great outing Homey..
You just know the Pirates are screaming "What do we have to do?!?!?"
It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice... It merely required no character.
― Joseph Heller, Catch 22
What a game! Had it all, great pitching from both teams and two late inning rallies from both teams with the much maligned Stubbs being the hero two nights in a row. Can't get any better than this!

18 over. This team is good. Seems like everything is going our way
"Losing feels worse than winning feels good." -Vin Scully
Personally, Ondrusek is the guy inthe bullpen the Reds don't need. Pare the pen down from seven to six and the remaining guys would stay fresher considering how deep the rotation is going on an almost nightly basis. If they start getting taxed, give a call to L'Ville for Hoover. I'm hoping Ondrusek is in a deal this week.
Cards and Dodgers still playing. 2-2 in the 11th.
"And This One Belongs To The Reds."
Still good
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
The Reds have won 7 games in a row and are still only 2.5 up on the Bucs and 6 up on the Cards. This division is brutal.

Discussion in 'Maintenance & Upkeep' started by zippstripp, Apr 22, 2013.
Has anyone had any experiance with Royal Purple Oil? Good,Bad or Indifferant?
That's all I run in my truck. I use their HPS version. I like it... it seems to stay cleaner longer with regards to carbon pollutants in the oil (I.e. when the oil starts to brown and get that smell). Of course this is just my observations... no scientific data.
I used to get RP for free. So, I had it in everything. Lawn mover, snow blower, truck, wife's car. I never had an issue with it. I was told by an ams oil rep that between RP and mobile one that mobile one is better. He said that research shows that RP breaks down faster than mobile one. That being said, I don't know that someone that drives a truck would have to worry about the break down of the oil like someone who runs a racecar under extreme conditions would. I currently run Mobile 1. I can get it at Wally world for $21 for a 5+ quart jug.
I believe it is a superior product, but only my opinion; I am using it right now (I've only used it for two changes).
Unless you are using the truck under very extreme conditions, all oils meeting GM specs will meet your requirements.
I have used synthetic oil for many, many years, for two reasons, it will provide a little improvement in gas mileage and it does not thicken in cold temps, making it very good for winter starting.
Why did I go with RP? Easy, the guy who changes my oil switched, he buys it in bulk.
Thank you all for your input. The truck will be pretty much just a driver. Just want it to last, too expensive not to take care of. Next question, what about synthetics ATF's?
yes! i looove RP!!
i ust to think lucas and thick oil was the only way to go to get good results... and in old worn cast iron saginaw transmissions thats true. in high millage worn out engines thats true...
but in transmissions, transfer cases, and diffs, nothing is better for them than RP. you only change that oil ever 20,000 miles, min anyway... so might as well invest in something good
I've never had any dealings with Royal Purple synthetic oil, but I do hear that people that use it are satisfied with it. I use Mobil 1 5W-30 with no issues as well.
Love the feedback,gathering good info on a decision.
Of course, modern lubrication technology has made quantum leaps in regard to chemically bonding and variable viscosity. After 26 years of running dino oil in my Silverado, I wonder if things would have been any better if we had this stuff years ago. Or perhaps I didn't have to do so many oil changes... Maybe could have cut the interval in half.
I always use synthetic in all my engines, even lawn mower! Mobile 1 for me because of all the good things I've read about it, and it is easy to find.
P.S., stitch, love your truck! That diamond white is just what I want in new truck!

West Reading police officer charged in scuffle with chief
Police: Officer allegedly struck chief numerous times with a closed fist
READING, Pa. - An embattled West Reading police officer, accused of physically attacking his police chief, has broken his silence, saying he was the victim of workplace harassment for more than decade.
"I've been harassed probably for the 16 out of the 18 years I've been there," said Officer Ronald E. Ladd, 57, who is accused of hitting Chief Edward C. Fabriziani, 51, on Aug. 31, while in Chief Fabriziani's office.
Ladd told 69 News that he went to Chief Fabriziani's office to complain about being verbally attacked by a fellow officer in public.
But Ladd alleges that the discussion quickly turned into an argument.
"The chief jumped out of his chair, and he's screaming at me, and he's pointing his finger at me, and he is spitting on me as he's doing so because he was so out of control," said Ladd, who claims the meeting then became physical.
"He took and hit me with the heels of his hand," said Ladd, "and when he did that, I pushed back, the fight ensued."
But Ladd explains this altercation was the culmination of years of mistreatment.
On one occasion, Ladd alleges that Chief Fabriziani made fun of him.
"I lost between 30 to 35% of my hearing in Iraq. So, it came back to me that [Fabriziani] made fun of me behind my back about wearing hearing aids. How sad is that?"
69 News tried to get the Chief Fabriziani's side of the story, but he referred all comments to his attorney, who issued the following statement:
"Chief Fabriziani looks forward to resuming his duties as Chief of Police of the Borough of West Reading following the attack by Officer Ladd. Officer Ladd will be prosecuted in civil court to the fullest extent of the law for his horrendous acts of violence committed against the Chief. We eagerly await the completion of the Borough's internal investigation so the Chief and the Borough of West Reading can move forward," said Kevin A. Moore, Esq., attorney for Chief Fabriziani.
Court documents indicate that Ladd used his fist to hit Chief Fabriziani in the head and body. Fabriziani was treated at the hospital for cuts and bruises.
"And based upon the physical evidence and our investigation we determined that Officer Ladd was the aggressor of the physical confrontation that took place," said John Adams, District Attorney.
A citation has been filed and could carry a penalty of up to 90 days in jail or $300 fine.
Officer Ladd says he has also been in contact with his attorney, and stands by his claim that he is the victim of harassment.
