AbstractThis SBIR Phase I project will develop a water separator media to protect heavy duty engines from the water content in modern ultra low sulfur diesel fuels. The ultra low sulfur diesel fuel typically found in the field has very low interfacial tension allowing water to be present in the form of very fine droplets which pass through conventional water separators and end up in the fuel injection system. This project will quantify and develop a functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube-based water separator to be used with all ultra low sulfur diesel fuels on the market with nearly 100% water removal efficiency. The objective is to enhance the separator performance to cost ratio by working to further increase the separation efficiency and lower the media cost through process scaling and materials development. The broader impact/commercial potential of the project are focused on benefits related to enhanced ultra low sulfur diesel fuel separation, including more consistent fuel delivery to the engine, longer injector/engine life, better combustion of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, lower maintenance costs, new jobs enabled by the use of high-sulfur fuel reserves, and more efficient combustion of bio-fuels. Reduced water content in the fuel will help to improve performance of the high pressure fuel injection systems, maintain tolerances of the fuel injection system components, and reduce maintenance costs.

Gymrev Competes at I LOVE NY CUP February 4 & 5, 2005.
Binghamton, NY
level 7 gymnasts from Gymnastics Revolution stepped onto the
competitive floor at the Broome County Veteran's Memorial Arena
on Friday, February 4th. They knew that in order to
be competitive, they would have to be fantastic. This would be
their most challenging meet of the season, meeting teams from
Lehigh Valley Sports Academy, Brestyan's, and Southern Tier
Gymnastics Academy.
Inexperience did not prove
to be a detriment, though, as the girls started out strong on
the Floor Exercise. This would prove to be a meet full of
success for the team's quieter members. Taylor, a younger
member of the Gym Rev team, started out the night with a 9.125.
Her teammates followed, scoring several other 9.0's or better,
highlighted by Kim's 9.175.
On the Vault,
Meagan started off the team with a top score of 9.35. Many
other Gym Rev girls medaled, including Destiny, who had the top
score of the 7-10 age group.
Moving to the
bars, there were several factors at play. Lizzie had yet to
score below a 9.0 in the meet. Kim was unveiling
her new giant, and the girls were challenged by their coach
to hit all 9 routines. Although they came up with 7 out of 9
"hit" routines, they had several major successes: Lizzie
continued her run of 9.0's, and Kim hit her new skills
easily, and Alanna and Allie both scored well with very clean
With only the
beam to go, the Gym Rev girls were looking good. Although there
were some better gyms in the competition, Gymnastics
Revolution's Level 7's were right in the mix. They stepped onto
the beam with confidence, and came out with high scores of 8.85
(Katie) 9.0 (Lizzie) and 9.2 (Allie).
The Team ended
up solidly in third place, beaten out only by Lehigh Valley and
STGA. With room still for improvement, and a tremendous desire
for more success, the girls from Gym Rev are striding
confidently toward the State Championships in April!

(CNSNews.com) - President Bush's top legislative priority, the education bill, which he still hopes Congress will pass before its August recess, has a loud and powerful critic in House Majority Whip Tom Delay (R-Texas). Despite already having voted for a House version of the legislation, DeLay now says he has serious reservations about what he calls "that awful education bill."
House and Senate bills are in the process of being reconciled, but there are large differences between the two, especially over the cost of the new program that would, among other things, require annual testing of students in reading and math and force local school districts to improve student performance or risk the loss of federal aid.
However, Delay told the July 2001 edition of the "Limbaugh Letter" that his vote in favor of the president's education bill was "pure politics" rather than a vote on principle.
"I came to (Congress to) eliminate the Department of Education, so it was very hard for me to vote for something that expands the Department of Education," Delay said in the Limbaugh Letter. "I can't even remember another time that I've actually voted against my principles."
Delay's disagreement with the White House over education revolves around whether local and state governments should decide education policy rather than the federal government.
"I think that the president is absolutely right in what he thinks should be done to our school systems' accountability. Unfortunately, it shouldn't be the federal government doing it. But, this is one of his big agenda items," Delay said.
Delay's press secretary, Jonathan Grella, said the congressman believes the problems with the legislation are a result of the president's desire to compromise with a closely divided Congress.
"This is not all the president's fault," said Grella. "Perhaps some will criticize the president for the desire to pass this by a lot of votes, and in order to garner that significant majority that he (Bush) sought...he had to give to get.
"Mr. Delay backs choice and opposes expanding the size of the Department of Education," he said. "We're interested in putting kids before bureaucrats and before anything else.
Many conservative activist groups share Delay's concerns about the education bill's reliance on federal instead of state and local control.
"The importance of the federal role will grow with the amount of money that it put into it (federal education funding)," said Nathaniel Koonce, educational policy analyst for Empower America. "It has already grown tremendously. The new programs that have been created, especially in the new Senate bill, are doing nothing to stop the encroachment of the federal government into what should be a state and local matter."
The libertarian CATO Institute also sees the education bill as a threat to parental and local control of education.
"It (the Bush education plan) was a greater centralization of authority than we have ever seen," said Darcy Olsen, director of education and child policy at the Cato Institute. "This whole idea of a national standard, which basically becomes a national test...that's a massive move toward centralization, and that's why the superintendents from all over the country are up in arms."
Cultural conservatives are likewise dismayed by President Bush's education initiative.
"We're concerned that this doesn't go far enough to restore local control and to restore parental options, parental choice for children who are in failing schools," said Laura McGee, legislative assistant for the Family Research Council. "We just don't see where this bill helps families and children very well."
While Delay stops short of singling out the president for blame, other conservatives are not as reluctant.
"There was the massive increase in spending, there was a pretty significant increase over last year's budget, so there was no sort of looking for efficiency-type things that you might expect from Republicans," said Olsen. "When it comes to leading, he (Bush) didn't fight hard to keep in the most important provisions, which were vouchers, so that you would have a choice of an actual decent school."
Bush dropped his proposal for private school vouchers in exchange for funds that would go for private tutoring. "I don't know how much of that (changes in the bill) to attribute to Democrats, and how much of that to attribute to Republicans," she said.
Koonce believes Bush's eagerness to get a bill passed has compromised his conservative principles on education.
"I think that he has been so eager to get a bill passed and has given that signal so clearly, that he has allowed compromises, which in our view at least, were too great," Koonce said. "Unfortunately, in the spirit of compromise, in the spirit of bipartisanship, he lost the real meat of his original proposals, and we would have liked to have seen him (Bush) fight a little harder for those proposals."
According to Department of Education spokeswoman Lindsay Kozberg, the education plan's critics miss the actual progress contained in the Bush plan.
"Some critics have focused upon what's not in the bill, [rather] than what's in it," she said. "That's a mistake because they're missing the sweeping and comprehensive reforms that are underway."
Kozberg points out that the Bush plan includes several measures that would return power to local governments and to parents. The amount that parents can deposit in educational savings accounts would be boosted from $500 per year to $2,000 per year, she said.
"Parents who have children in persistently failing schools can have the benefit of federal resources to obtain supplemental education services, whether that's from a private provider such as a Kaplan or Sylvan, or from an individual teacher tutor, or Internet learning opportunities," Kozberg said. "It's a very wide set of options that have never been available to parents under the ESEA (Elementary and Secondary Education Act)."
The autonomy of local school boards would also be enhanced under the Bush plan, according to Kozberg, through the consolidation of several federal educational programs, and the awarding of block grants to states and local school districts.

Last evening, Thursday, coming out from Century 20 movies in Redwood City at 9:00 PM, we walked by a long line of high school teens, sitting and waiting to see a movie.
We had no idea what would generate such interest. Well turning on the TV local news we find we had witnessed what was apparently an area, probably State wide, situation. They were waiting to see the grand opening of a new movie "Twilight" based on a book series that apparently has taken the place of the Harry Potter series.
What I find disturbing is the movie was not going to start until 12:00 AM and this is a school night. Quite obviously those attending are hardly going to be getting much done in the way of school work today.
I don't understand parents allowing their kids to attend such a late showing. Even more to the point is what I see as greed on the part of the theater owners, movie producers etc., for showing the movie at this time of day.
Town Square
Twilight -- grand opening at 12:00 AM Friday morning

Surprisingly warm
By cyclist with a running habit
from RI
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about GORE BIKE WEAR Gore-Tex Thermo Shoe Covers:
For years I used heavy neoprene booties which I can no longer get. I was skeptical that the GoreTex booties would be as warm I cycle in New England all winter, only stopping when the roads are snow covered. After a dozen rides in temperatures from 15 to 40 deg F I'm surprised to find the GoreTex booties are warmer than the Neoprene. An hour and a half at 15 degrees and my toes just start to feel cold. Easy to put on over road shoes. Velcro is better than the zippers on the old neoprene booties, which would jam and eventually tear.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fit the bill
By StoneCold
from Pagosa Springs, CO
I got these to replace some old neoprene shoe covers and for riding my fat tire bike in snow. So far these have fit the bill; they are as warm as the neoprene, but my feet don't get wet (and then cold) after an hour on the bike. I'll use them on my road bike as well.
Love these because of Velcro and cover on the bottom
By Mike
from Allentown, Pa
This is my second pair of the same shoe cover. The first pair got ruined after years of abuse and a fall tore the toe. I love the Velcro instead of a zipper. I have recommended these to many people I ride with.

Save your money...not waterproof
By Roadkill
from Warner Robins, GA
Rode twice this week in moderate to heavy rain, experiencing breakthrough about 10 miles into my rides. Shoe, socks soaked by the end of the ride. Purchased based off of the Gore-Tex name and disappointed in the performance in relation to the cost of the product. Looks like best use will be for wind/thermal protection.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Couple tackle Mont Blanc to raise funds
Having met several injured serving and former soldiers, Vesna Hargreaves and her husband Dan were inspired by their courage and mental fortitude; they have decided to take on a challenge which will enable them to raise funds to help Walking With The Wounded re-train and re-skill injured service personnel.
"I was so impressed with their courage in overcoming their injuries", said Vesna, who works in an accountancy practice. She continued, "it was so humbling to meet them; we wanted to actively do something to raise funds to help those who have made huge sacrifices in the line of duty".
The couple, who have walked recreationally in the Alps previously, will climb the imposing mountain and reach altitude of up to 15,781ft. Tackling the the imposing slopes of Mont Blanc will be a and hope to reach the summit on the 19th of July, raising upwards of £1,500 for Walking With The Wounded in the process. "We really want to do our bit to support these fantastic young men and women who have been badly injured", said Dan.
The recent fatalities on Mont Blanc have certainly highlighted the huge challenge that faces them. Vesna commented that the avalanche which claimed nine lives was a "terrible tragedy" and that they were unnerved by the incident. They are under no illusions as to the need for proper advice and safety procedures: "we've consulted a professional guide who understands the mountain, the terrain and the region very well and we are obviously going to take the utmost guidance and care. But we're dedicated to raising money for the charity, so it was an obvious decision to go ahead with our trek".
Co-founder of Walking With The Wounded Edward Parker commented that Dan and Vesna "are a perfect example of people being inspired by what this charity has achieved so far. We are all about inspiring people to overcome challenges. For our wounded military community that may mean learning to walk again having lost a leg and for people like Dan and Vesna it's about taking on a mountain to raise funds to help others – we are all very grateful to them. It's great to hear of their ambition and I wish them every success".
To support Dan and Vesna's courageous fundraising trek click here. All donations go to help re-train and re-skill wounded service personnel and assist them in finding long-term civilian employment following their military service.

The second phase of Churchill Downs' $121 million renovation project took another step forward on July 11 as the demolition of a large section of the historic track's clubhouse began. The demolition work began near the Gate 10 entrance to the
Clubhouse. A colonnade walkway, first used in the 1924 Spring Meet and connected to that entrance, was the first area of the track to be demolished and the structure was on the ground in minutes. A large section of the Clubhouse will be razed and rebuilt in the $95 million second phase of the renovation. The demolition is scheduled to be finished in September. The beginning of the massive job of razing those sections of the Clubhouse began a few days ahead of schedule. Efforts to clear out the areas of the track that are slated for demolition, which began with the completion of the Churchill Downs Spring Meet on July 6, have moved more quickly than expected and that has allowed the demolition effort to be
launched earlier than anticipated. The start of the demolition effort had been tentatively set for July 16. "We have set a very ambitious schedule for the second phase of our renovation project, so we are very pleased to gain a few days on the front end of that schedule," said Steve Sexton, president of Churchill Downs. "This quick start is a credit to our dedicated employees, who have worked tirelessly since the end of the meet to get the facility ready for this effort and we appreciate their work to accelerate one of the most important endeavors in Churchill Downs history." Phase II of the renovation will transform the Clubhouse into a year-round facility with new seating, 15 additional luxury suites, a new Turf Club, dining areas, meeting rooms, a Gold Room for Twin Spires Club members, and new Press Box. It is scheduled for completion in early 2005. The $26 million first phase of the renovation, which included the construction of 64 Jockey Club Suites and a restoration of the historic Twin Spires, is scheduled for completion in September.

A new still from the set of 'Fast and Furious 7' shows that Vin Diesel's fan favourite character Dominic Toretto is about to be reunited with the Dodge Charger that has featured in numerous previous entries of the franchise. It is yet another moody still released by the star through his Facebook account that pays homage to earlier films in the series.
'Fast and Furious 7' has been speedily put into production with new director James Wan at the helm and shooting has been occurring all around the Atlanta area before it zooms off to Abu Dhabi in the coming months.
Dom's history with the Dodge Charger
The beautiful black Dodge Charger first made an appearance way back in the original film in the franchise. In 'The Fast and the Furious', Dom told Paul Walker's undercover cop Brian that he built the car with his father but had always been too afraid to drive it. When he finally raced it with Brian's colourful import, it ended badly for the car as Dom ploughed it into a truck. It was rebuilt by Letty in the fourth film, then totalled again and rebuilt in time for the fifth film when Brian used it to break Dom out of a prison bus. It then featured heavily in 'Fast Five' as Dom used it repeatedly to win cars for their heist plans. Diesel's Dom switched it up in 'Fast and Furious 6', instead driving a Dodge Charger Daytona for the spectacular action.
The present
With Dom and the gang finally getting to return to home turf in 'Fast and Furious 7', the original Dodge Charger is getting the dust blown off and the new image shows Dom staring at his beloved baby. The still also reveals Dom is wounded, with a bloodied bandage round his hand. After the recent pictures that feature staring stars and funeral suits, this is yet another moody still from the film, promising things are going to get increasingly dark under the direction of James Wan, best known for horrors 'Saw' and 'Insidious'. Have Dom and the gang finally met their match?
The future
'Fast and Furious 7' has a mountain to climb in terms of beating the box office of the sixth film of the franchise. 'Fast and Furious 6' has made over $780 million worldwide to date and the franchise has become one of the biggest in Universal's history. The inclusion of the Dodge Charger in this new photo is a tantalising glimpse at what is in store for the seventh film and a reward for fans that have stuck with the franchise since the very beginning.
How excited are you to see Dom behind the wheel of his roaring monster again?
Pete is a cautious fan of the Fast and Furious films; enjoying the fast cars and furious fights but not so keen on the cheesy dialogue. However he's not going to be telling Vin Diesel that last bit any time in a hurry. Follow Pete on Twitter or check out his film and TV blog: I Love That Film.

Kevin Love had 16 points and 21 rebounds for his 52nd consecutive double-double as the Minnesota Timberwolves routed the visiting Indiana Pacers, 101-75, on Wednesday.
Love surpassed Moses Malone (1978-79) for the longest double-double streak since the NBA-ABA merger in 1976. Love also has 13 20-rebounds game this season.
Michael Beasley also scored 16 points for Minnesota (16-50), which snapped a three-game losing streak.
Tyler Hansbrough had 21 points and 10 rebounds for Indiana (27-37), which has lost five straight games and seven of eight.
The Timberwolves led, 50-40, at halftime, then went on a 10-0 run over the first three minutes of the second half. The lead reached 30 on Anthony Tolliver's 3-point basket with 6:31 to play.
Love already had a double-double before the midway mark of the second quarter.
Indiana shot just 29.6 percent from the field. Leading scorer Danny Granger suffered through a miserable performance, hitting just 2 of 19 shots – missing all nine 3-pointers – while scoring 10 points.
Tolliver and Anthony Randolph scored 14 points apiece and Luke Ridnour had 13 points for the Timberwolves.
A.J. Price added 13 points for Indiana.

How cute. I love both pieces.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
How cute. I love both pieces.
Wow u have the touch! I don't have much imagination!
lovely!! I love the " hay stalk " in her mouth...
I'm on the search for a bowling ball to upcycle into a gazing ball... I'm thinking I might paint mine with glow in the dark paint and then apply the glass baubbles over it... figure it can't hurt... I've love it to glow at night.....
Good Morning, This scarecrow is probly the cutes one I've ever seen............nice job!
Both projects are great. I have an old bowling bowl I have to convert to a gazing ball as well. My daughter gave it to me 3 years ago and I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I have all the supplies except the silicone grout. Someday.
Those are wonderful creations!!! That scarcrow is adorable!!
LOL! Love the expression on the scarecrow!
What creativity! Great job!

This was done in a round robin swap and the star was made first then each person added a border.
This really turned out nice. With so many people working on one project, how do you decide who gets to have it in the end?
This is really beautiful.
this is a beautiful wall hanging ,Thank you so much for sharing it with us ..Barbara
This turned out beautifully.
This turned out really neat! I just completed my first round robin quilt. Each month, it seemed like it became harder because we had so many different quilting levels in our group. Towards the end, some of the quilts were not very square or even. The big reveal will be next week, so I'll be anxious to see how mine came out! Yours is beautiful!!!!
wow I have been in some round robins and never had one like this. It is gorgeous! they all took care and planning in making your gorgeous RR love it

Once you design and print your photo ID cards, you need to provide a method for your employees, students or staff to display them. Lanyards are one of the most popular ID card display accessories, and many customers prefer to create a custom lanyard for their organization.
Around IDville, our employees use lanyards to express their individual style. Employees get to pick the lanyard of their choice from our sample wall, and many change their lanyard on a regular basis depending on their mood or outfit. Most employees prefer our premium theme lanyards because of their fun and colorful designs.
I recommend giving your employees the same choice and flexibility when it comes to their everyday lanyard. Get a bundle of different lanyard styles, and let individuals pick the one they prefer. When employees like their lanyards, they're more likely to wear their photo ID card.
If you want to have a more uniform look to your employee lanyards, create a custom lanyard for your organization. IDville's Lanyard Wizard walks you through the process to choose the lanyard style that best fits your organization's needs and budget. You'll need to know if you want a full color lanyard, like our themed lanyards, or a one color imprint on a colored lanyard.
The next step in creating a custom lanyard is selecting an attachment. The attachment connects to your ID card and impacts how it is displayed. Take your card's orientation, whether it is one sided or two and its most frequent uses into consideration when you select your attachment.
After that, have fun designing your lanyard! I recommend incorporating your organization's logo, mascot or corporate values into your custom lanyard design. Since employees will wear their lanyards around the office, in front of customers, visitors and when they go out to lunch., you should utilize the custom lanyards to promote your organization's image.

The Canadiens held an optional morning skate in Brossard ahead of Saturday night's final regular-season game against the New York Rangers at the Bell Centre (7 p.m., CBC, RDS, TSN Radio 690).
Michael Blunden, who was called up from the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs on Friday afternoon because of Lars Eller battling the flu, took part in the skate and will be in the lineup against the Rangers. Brandon Prust, still recovering from an upper-body injury, was also on the ice.
The Canadiens no longer control their destiny when it comes to securing home-ice advantage for their first-round playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning, backed by goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis making his first NHL start, beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 Friday night to move a point ahead of the Canadiens for second place in the Atlantic Division.
The Lightning plays its final regular-season game Sunday afternoon in Washington and can clinch home-ice advantage with a victory no matter what the Canadiens do Saturday night against the Rangers. The Lightning will be without forward Ryan Malone, who was stopped by a Tampa police officer early Saturday morning and charged with DUI and possession of cocaine. The Associated Press reported that according to a police report an officer found 1.3 grams of cocaine in one of Malone's pockets. The AP added that Malone refused to take field sobriety tests, but a breath test given at the jail recorded blood alcohol levels of 0.112 and 0.116 per cent. Florida law considers a driver impaired at 0.08.
"We are aware of the situation concerning Ryan Malone this morning," general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement Saturday. "Ryan will not travel with the team to Washington today, but beyond that we cannot comment further at this time."
The Rangers, who have already clinched second place in the Metropolitan Division and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs, are expected to rest some veterans against the Canadiens, including Martin St. Louis. Cam Talbot is expected to start in goal for the Rangers with Carey Price starting for the Canadiens.
Defenceman Josh Gorges told reporters on Friday that the Canadiens want to do what they can Saturday night to secure home-ice advantage.
"I think it's something to strive for, but our focus should more be on the way we're playing," he said. "Make sure that coming into playoffs — whether we have home ice or not — we're playing the right way. We're playing at the top of our game. We fine tune the details and make sure there are no holes."
The Canadiens announced Saturday morning that Bulldogs goalie Dustin Tokarski has been signed to a two-year contract extension taking him through the 2015-16 season. Tokarski has played three games with the Canadiens this season, posting a 2-0-0 record with one shutout, a 1.84 goals-against average and .946 save percentage. With the Bulldogs, Tokarski has a 20-15-3 record with one shutout, a 2.36 GAA and .920 save percentage. The Canadiens acquired him from the Tampa Bay Lightning on Feb. 14, 2013 in exchange for goaltender Cedrick Desjardins.

Instagram has become a way of life for few chaps, lets take a look at the different breeds of instagrammers we have around!
This-Is-What-Is-Going-Into-My-Stomach-And-Coming-Out-Later PicsWe know you exist, we all do. We know how much you love to take the most disheartening of food and make it look digestable. Supposedly, French fries look more French, Slurpy looks slurpier, and mess looks messier. If I really liked the food, I'd eat it rather than take a picture, add a dozen filters, go on the internet and upload it for the world to see. Sorry, you might be making the neighbourhood obese kids, but not us.
The Instagram PhilosophersI look pretty, I also googled about 'Love Quotes'. I click a cutesy picture of mine, blur it, add filters and effects, maybe a gradient if I'm in the mood, put the status right across my face or other vital assets, and upload it. Such has been the life that oozes SWAG and other such frivoulous objects to highlight an emotion or a sense of belonging. All we can say to this is, YOLO.
Mirror Mirror On The Wall, I'm The Hottest Of 'Em AllWe love this breed. We really do. And we follow them religiously on Instagram. These are our every day Tom Dick and Harries of the normal world, and they've gained a faithful fan following over the years, all thanks to an iPhone, a mirror, Instagram and drop-dead gorgeous looks. A sure shot way of gathering some online fame if you're good looking is by making a profile and posting some really sensous pics for the fans to drool at! Instant fame, guaranteed.
Brand LoyaltyYOLO comes into play again, albeit this time around while showing off the SWAG you own. That might be your new pair of shoes, caps, clothes, and everything else that may classify you as a cut above the rest. Honestly, we're yet to decipher the reason behind such an act. Wouldn't it make more sense to just wear it and show off than just click pics and post them on the Internet. That's equivalent to going to a mall, clicking pics, and claiming those things to be yours. Wait, did we just unearth a conspiracy theory here?
My Cellphone Is My DSLR Is My CellphoneWe humans blessed with a cellphone and Instagram have a grave and common misconception that we're professional photographers, and tend to act like one. A purist loaded with a DSLR would beat you up with his lens and stand if you tag yourself as a professional photographer all thanks to Instagram. Don't steal their thunder, you're only making it sound like a fart.
Instagram Is My Grandpa's CameraInstagram is a brilliant app, we completely agree. And some of their filters and effects are astonishingly beautiful. And then there are people who use these effects to their hilt. Meaning, bombarding a single image with a gazillion filters to make it resemble a painting by a 3-year-old kid with bad bowel movements (Read Diarrhea). You're welcome for the last graphic description.

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Several years ago I purchased a whole life policy from Northwestern Mutual Insurance. Later when I asked for information, I was informed that the "the payer" has no rights. In other words they sold me the policy and forget to tell me that The payer has no rights. The also failed to let me know that there is more than one ownership option. when I complained to the compay, their reply was that "no law was broken". No apology, no concern at all for my sense of being scammed. I would like the world to know that this company cares more for its brokers than the customers. I would never ever recommend them to anyone - the contrary, I would tell people that their brokers may not be properly trained and if they mislead you, you have no recourse. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Created collaboratively between American manufacturing company Herman Miller and industrial designer and Fuseproject founder Yves Béhar, you're looking at the "Sayl" chair. Over 2.5 years in the making, the chair's design is influenced by the suspension bridges of San Francisco, where the chair was created. For maximum comfort, various degrees of tension are infused into the injection-molded back, providing sacral, lumbar and spine support. The chair's elegant form also works to adapt to the user's movement, particularly given the structure's integrated 3-dimensional intelligence. Now available in both side and work chair forms in various colors, the chairs are importantly made from 93% recyclable material.

Blazer Bits
Shining Like a Dy'man
Sophomore Dy'man Webb has really made an impact since joining the starting lineup for the Blazers in 2013-14.

Karisma Chapman led the Blazers with a career-high 37 points in the win over Sam Houston State. Chapman also recorded her third double-double of the season after grabbing 11 rebounds in the game. She netted a career-high 16 field goals and made five-of-seven free throws to lead the team.
20-Point Performances
Three different players have tallied at least 20 points in a single game this season for UAB. Senior Ashley Grimes opened the season with 26 points against Fairfield in the Emerald Beach Islanders Classic. Sophomore Chelsee Black followed that up with 23 points in the second game of the tournament, when the Blazers took on Western Illinois. Most recently, senior Karisma Chapman scored 37 points to help propel UAB past Sam Houston State.
Blazers Attacking the Boards
The Blazers have been strong on the boards in the 2013-14 season. They have outrebounded their opponents in eight of the nine games so far this season. UAB is averaging 42.1 rebounds per game as a team, while its opponents are averaging 33.9. Four different players are averaging over 5.0 rebounds per game so far this season.

BurgerFuel Worldwide, the fast food chain franchisor, boosted annual profit 55 per cent as sales in the Middle East continued to surge. The company won't pay a dividend as it builds up cash for investments.
Net profit rose to $1.1 million, or 2.05 cents per share, in the 12 months ended March 31, from $708,000, or 1.32 cents, a year earlier, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. Sales climbed 25 per cent to $12 million, led by a 35 per cent gain in Middle East revenue.
The company raised $2 million in December in a placement to Milford Asset Management in a year when its operating cash flows slumped 45 per cent to $337,000. As at March 31, the company held cash of $4.2 million.
"In accordance with the previously outlined policy, since listing on the NZAX, there will be no dividends paid," the company said. "This is to ensure that the group can build up and maintain adequate cash reserves for further investment into the business."
In recent years BurgerFuel has increased its exposure to the Middle East by signing master licensing agreements, which earns the company up-front territory fees and on-going royalties based on store turnover.
The fast food chain is focused on breaking into Middle East nations, and is part the Beachheads Global public-private partnership run by New Zealand Trade & Enterprise, which provides tailored mentoring for high-growth local companies.
The company lifted system sales 29 per cent to $49.3 million. Total system sales represent till takings across all company-owned and franchise stores.
BurgerFuel increased New Zealand sales 17 per cent to $8 million in the year, though earnings more than halved to $481,000. Its Australian segment revenue more than doubled to $560,000, turning profitable with earnings of $519,000.
The Middle East unit boosted sales to $3.5 million from $2.6 million a year earlier, with earnings more than doubling to $314,000.
The tightly-held stock trades infrequently on the small-cap NZAX, and was unchanged at $1.55 today, valuing it at $85.6 million. When the company went public in 2007 it sold 15 million shares at $1 apiece.

Now, Affirmative Action May Help White Menby
At first glance, it looks like a ringing endorsement of affirmative action. But look again. The modest reforms President Clinton unveiled in a July 19 speech mark a turning point for civil rights. For the first time since their creation in 1965, affirmative action programs may extend help to economically disadvantaged white men, as well as to women and minorities. The shift could prompt business and academia to follow suit. "We need to do more to help disadvantaged people in distressed communities, no matter what their race or gender," Clinton declared.
The President gave few specifics, but a report released by the White House details his plan. Under pressure from recent Supreme Court rulings limiting affirmative action, Clinton wants to offer whites access to an array of federal programs, ranging from university scholarships to federal contracts. "It's an opening gambit and reflects some new thinking," says Paul R. Huard, chief lobbyist for the National Association of Manufacturers.
A GAMBLE. Republicans see the President as too tied to existing programs and don't think he actually will alter the impact of affirmative action in the workplace. "President Clinton believes that in the eyes of their government, some Americans should be more equal than others," rails Senator Phil Gramm (R-Tex.).
GOP lawmakers haven't backed off their plans to kill affirmative action for good. But Clinton is gambling that his modest changes--including new preferences for whites--will sell with the public. "Mend it, but don't end it," he said.
His solution: Give breaks to small companies--even those owned by white men--who locate or offer jobs in blighted neighborhoods. And Clinton urged the Education Dept. to reexamine scholarships for minorities. The intent: Award financial aid to the first members of families who attend college, regardless of race. "That will be a major change," says William E. Kirwan, president of the University of Maryland.
Advocates for women and minorities see a disturbing shift in the move to extend preferences to whites. They think it is a betrayal of affirmative action's original intent. "The sentiment does seem to be shifting toward need rather than race," frets Reginald Wilson, racial issues expert at the American Council on Education.
Such critics worry that Clinton's moves will, in the end, simply gut affirmative action. After all, the Administration still must narrow its programs according to strict new standards laid out in a June 12 Supreme Court decision holding that the government must prove past bias before it can enact programs granting preferences. Universities are rethinking affirmative action, too. The University of California Board of Regents, for instance, is debating whether to scuttle its minority admissions policy altogether.
Companies large and small may welcome some changes. They already see gold in the Administration's "empowerment contracting" program to give breaks for federal contracts to companies operating in distressed neighborhoods. If companies "realize that they can win federal business as a result of location, they'd move tomorrow," says Jeffrey Finkle, executive director of the National Council for Urban Economic Development. Adds Patty DeDominic, CEO of Los Angeles-based PDQ Personnel Services Inc.: "It's smart business to give such incentives to companies."
Small companies also are cheering White House recommendations to whittle down the numbers of women and minorities who can benefit from federal contracting breaks. The Administration wants minority and female entrepreneurs to graduate from sheltered government programs once they become strong enough to compete on their own. "That's a step in the right direction," says Joyce Newman of Reed & Reed, a white-owned construction firm in Woolwich, Me. "Subcontractors that have to compete with [minority] firms are really hurting."
Big companies could benefit from White House plans to free them from bureaucratic red tape. If they establish good hiring and promotion records, they would get fewer reviews from the Labor Dept. "If you have an effective program, it's burdensome to go through reviews every two years," says David M. Sampson, vice-president for diversity at Marriott International Inc.
Call it the 5% solution. While 95% of Clinton's recommendations back affirmative action as it is, his modest innovations may lead to fundamental change. The debate now: Will the change be for the better?

LONDON -- Seven months before the vote, the IOC is sending a panel of experts on a series of site-inspection visits that could prove influential in the race to host the 2020 Olympics.
The IOC's evaluation commission is heading to Japan this week on the first leg of its three-city tour to examine the bids from Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul.
Chaired by IOC vice president Craig Reedie of Britain, the panel will meet bid leaders, visit proposed venues and study issues such as finances, transportation, security and public support.
The visits come with all three countries facing serious political or economic challenges.
Reedie calls the evaluation process "a risk assessment."
His commission will compile a report for IOC members, who will select the host city Sept. 7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Me, Myself, and Why
Searching for the Science of Self by Jennifer Ouellette
By Meghan Rosen, 14:27 PM February 20, 2014
Near the end of Ouellette's new book — a personal journey exploring what shapes people's sense of self — she pops a candy tablet of LSD and settles in for her first psychedelic experience. Ouellette had heard that once the drug wore off and the acid-induced wonderland slipped away, the "self" came barreling back.
"I had to experience this firsthand," she writes. "After all, it was 'research.' " As the chemical toyed with her brain, Ouellette saw kaleidoscopes of swirling patterns and watched h...

Date of Stay: March, 2010
This is a snowbird park about 15 miles south of Tucson on the I-10. Facilities and activities are the best we have found. Gymnasium, pools and spas were excellent and well maintained. Park is for over 50's and not family friendly. Activities include silversmith, lapidary, stained glass, glass fusion and many others. Workshops are very well equipped and maintained. Most activities are run by volunteers and all are welcomed to try for a minimal cost. There is a large development next door connected to the park and many of the residents attend events in the park, which ensures a large attendance at market days, shows, etc. If you are after a park with the very best in activities and facilities, you will not be disappointed. We extended our stay for 6 weeks and the nightly rate is averaged over our stay.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
In an excellent location on the river facing the city of Little Rock. Was within walking distance to the city and restaurants along the river walk and over a converted rail bridge. Trolley stop about 1/2 mile away, takes you to the local attractions. A great place to stay for a couple of days to visit the city and local area.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
Park is in an excellent location: walking distance to mall, restaurants and the movie theater. Facilities are in average condition, however the staff was friendly and the park was well run.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
This is a very basic park with minimal facilities in below average condition. Was OK for an overnight stay.
Date of Stay: November, 2009
Great campsite on the banks of the Neuse river. Walking distance to the center of Kinston over the bridge on the other side of the river. Free "zoo" with good collection of snakes.
Date of Stay: November, 2009
Campground is located in suburban area of Hampton at the rear of a 100 acre city park. Park office is located nearby and staff are very helpful and friendly. Sites are fairly grass/gravel with large evergreens providing shade. Electric is 30amp. Water & electric are padlocked until you register. Arrive before 4:30 otherwise you will have to camp rough for the night/weekend unless you can catch the caretaker cleaning the showers, or driving through the grounds. HRT (bus) stops 400 yards from campground cnr Clemwood Pwy & Little Back River Rd & covers Hampton, Virginia Beach & Newport pretty well. $3.50 buys all day pass. $5.50 allows use of ferries & express buses. Park locked after dark, however road through Campground left open (turn left at 7-11 on Back River Rd) - which creates traffic - especially in the early morning. Nearby Air Force base (other side of bay) also can be noisy - but only during daylight hours. Great place to stay if you have business/visits to do in Hampton/Virginia Beach area & don't have other transport.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Overall park is very good; however, internet access is poor (connection to Wi-Fi hub @34MB/s; however, little or no bandwidth to internet available.) No cable or local TV reduce the overall score. Confirm comments regarding staff; however, this is to benefit campers like us without pets or children. Facilities are clean and well kept. Site was 15 level within 6" with left to right fall. Do not expect a refund if you change your booking. The rules were made very clear.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
Quiet family park about 2 miles from town. Located behind a motel & adjacent to a stream. Large shady trees and close to playground. Dump station on site. Clean & well kept grounds. Back in asphalt sites. Fairly level.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
Small private campground about 2 miles from town. Trails through park lead to town. Park adjacent to cafe and boat ramp. Well grassed sites with fire rings and table & chairs. Union Pacific railway line about .5 miles away, so regular horn & rail noise.

What is Fika?Fika is a Swedish coffee break, but it's actually a lot more than that.
Fika is a social institution in Sweden that dates back to the 1700s. Fika is all about taking time during the day to indulge in the simple pleasures of life, like coffee and good company. Fika is usually a time for friends, families and co-workers to take a little break from their day and share a moment together. You can Fika anywhere. At home, outside, or in your office's Fika room. In addition to coffee, sweet snacks like cinnamon rolls or gingerbread cookies are traditionally enjoyed while "Fika-ing".

Georgia Swimmers, Divers Continue Record-Breaking Performance On Day Three of SECs
Feb. 20, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. --- The Georgia Lady Bulldogs continued their streak of dominance with six new medals and two school records on Thursday, the third day of the 2014 Southeastern Conference Swimming and Diving Championships.
The No. 3 Lady Bulldogs extended their first-place lead to 879 points. The Florida women's team sits in second with a score of 642. The No. 10 Bulldogs maintained their third-place position with 588 points. Florida and Auburn hold the first two spots with 773.5 and 721.5 points, respectively.
"We thought it was a really important today to keep the pressure on," Senior Associate Head Coach Harvey Humphries said. "We wanted to come in this morning and put ourselves in a position to keep everyone at bay. We didn't have a lot of swimmers, but the ones that we did have, we wanted in the finals. The kids did a great job of doing that."
For the first time in Georgia history, the Lady Bulldogs finished 1-2 on the 3-meter sprinboard. Laura Ryan took gold for the second consecutive year with a Georgia, SEC and Gabrielsen Natatorium record-breaking score of 413.75. That mark was a lifetime best for Ryan and made her the first woman to score over 400 points in an SEC meet. Ann-Perry Blank earned her second medal of the championship with a score of 363.80, also a lifetime best.
"Tonight was so much fun," Ryan said. "To have both Ann-Perry [Blank] and I light it up is something that I will remember forever."
Melanie Margalis continued her record-setting week in the 400 individual medley with an NCAA automatic qualifying time of 3:59.85, breaking her previous Georgia record by almost six seconds. She finished second to Florida's Elizabeth Beisel whose time of 3:59.26 set new SEC and Gabrielsen Natatorium records. Amber McDermott was fourth with a time of 4:07.09, Nicole Vernon clocked in at 4:07.85 to take fifth and Hali Flickinger secured the sixth spot in 4:07.91.
Lauren Harrington swam to a third-place time of 52.07 in the 100 butterfly, moving her to second all-time in the Georgia record books. Maddie Locus finished 18th with a time of 53.06 and Courtney Peters posted a time of 54.22 to finish 24th.
Shannon Vreeland won gold in the 200 freestyle and made SEC history with her A-cut time of 1:41.83. She also set a new Gabrielsen Natatorium record and broke her own mark by more than one second. Brittany MacLean also medaled for the Lady Bulldogs, posting an A-cut time of 1:43.88 in the event. Jordan Mattern finished fourth in 1:44.19, Olivia Boggs went 1:47.22 to claim the 13th spot and Anna Kolanowski finished 20th with a time of 1:47.87.
The Bulldogs remained in the hunt with a history-making swim by Chase Kalisz in the 400 individual medley. Kalisz swam a 3:36.89 to take gold, the third-fastest short-course yards time in the history of the sport. He broke his own school record and set new SEC and Gabrielsen Natatorium records, as well.
"I feel pretty good," Kalisz said. "I had my eyes set on the American record. I'm only a second off of it so I feel pretty good about it."
Also in the 400 IM, Jared Markham touched the wall at 3:44.93 to place fifth. Andrew Gemmell won the consolation final and placed ninth overall with a time of 3:46.29. Derek Onken finished in the 14th spot, touching the wall at 3:50.43.
Doug Reynolds broke the Georgia record in the 100 butterfly with his second-place time of 45.90. Taylor Dale and Pace Clark also scored for the Bulldogs with times of 46.84 and 47.86, respectively.
Matias Koski closed the night for Georgia with a swim of 1:34.54 in the 200 freestyle to finish fifth. Will Freeman clocked in at 1:36.85 with a 14th-place finish, and Alec Cohen swam a 1:36.45 to place 21st in the event.
The Georgia swimmers and divers look to continue their dominance on day four of the SEC Championships. Friday's events will include the 200 butterfly, 100 backstroke, 100 breaststroke, 400 medley relay and men's platform diving. Visit georgiadogs.com for ticket information.

Last week, I went to the mall and found this beautiful pearl collared necklace at H&M. I've seen a few collared necklaces before, but it seems like this fall they are really being embraced. However, it is not just any collared necklaces, but the embellished collars that are stepping on the scene. These necklaces are a fun way to make any outfit pop.
I think this accessory looks best with a collarless plain or simple blouse. Wearing this with a deeply patterned top would make your top half look too busy. I have seen this kind of necklace with scoop tops, dresses, deep v-necks, and even T-shirts. Elizabeth Banks was seen wearing a collared top with an all red dress. Since the neckline of the dress is so high, a collared necklace was a perfect choice of jewelry. Then Holland Roden wore a silver collar with an all lace top. This pairing made her look all the more youthful and feminine.
If you do not like the idea of trying to find a necklace to match a top, you can always buy a blouse with an embellished collar. Olivia Palermo is wearing a sheer top with an embellished top that looks absolutely amazing! If you like that top, you are sure to love the Bead-sy Bee Sheer Black Button-Up Top from Lulu's.com
Would you rock this accessory? If so, how would you rock it? Find out other fall/winter accessories other MuT members are craving! Do't forget to comment below. Until next time!

The European "Clean Sky" initiative is one major step closer to reality following the signature of a memorandum of understanding in Vienna by Airbus and eight other leading aeronautics companies. This effort is aimed at further reducing the impact of air transportation on the environment through new solutions to reduce noise, lower emissions and cut fuel consumption for airliners of the future.
Airbus is one of nine leading European aeronautics companies that have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the aeronautics Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) called 'Clean Sky' at the annual meeting of the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) in Vienna.
The Clean Sky initiative is a European technological research programme that aims to radically improve the impact of air transport on the environment through new technologies and solutions to reduce noise, emissions and fuel consumption for future aircraft. The project is closely linked to the Advisory Council for Aeronautical Research in Europe's (ACARE) objectives for the industry, called Vision 2020.
ACARE goals, to be met by 2020, include a 50 per cent reduction of CO2 emissions through drastic reduction of fuel consumption, an 80 per cent reduction of NOx emissions and a 50 per cent reduction of perceived noise. It also aims for green product life cycle design including manufacturing, maintenance and disposal.
With an estimated total budget of 1.7 billion euros, Clean Sky will be the largest and most ambitious European aeronautics project ever. Participating companies will co-operate in public-private partnerships with the European Commission, to stimulate groundbreaking research across businesses, universities and research centres, as European Science Commissioner Janez Potocnik explained.
"By working together, we can identify and overcome obstacles to the implementation of this technology in all its very many applications," he said. "We can tackle technology bottlenecks, raise public awareness and appreciation, address issues such as safety and develop standards that ensure technology developed in Europe is used not just here, but around the world."
Along with Airbus, Agusta Westland, Alenia Aeronautica, Dassault Aviation, Eurocopter, Liebherr Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, SAFRAN (est-ce que SAFRAN s'écrit uniquement en majuscules? Sinon, le mettre au meme niveau que les autres en minuscule) and Thales are all signatories to the memorandum and confirmation of the initiative is expected early next year.

Thanks a ton to Anon @ 4:10 PM in this post who found out some more information about the setting of Anthropologie's March 2010 catalogue. It turns out the sculptural shots were taken not in a country like Cambodia or Thailand like I first thought but somewhere much closer: Mexico. Specifically at Los Pazas in Xilitla, a tiny town a few hours north and east of Mexico City.
Photo from Lucy Nieto's flickr set
The gardens are a creation of English millionaire Edward James as a tribute to surrealism. Here's some more information Atlas Obscura, the online curiosities compendium:
Construction on Las Pozas began in 1962, and carried on for the next 20 plus years until James' death in 1984. Las Pozas means "the pools" in Spanish, named for the 9 pools on the property created from waters that flow naturally through the property. The gardens feature more than thirty structures, ranging from plant sculptures to winding staircases to nowhere, and cathedral inspired screens - some ornately finished, others seemingly incomplete, although it is unclear if they were ever intended to be "finished". Most of the construction was done by Plutaco Gastelum, James' friend and co-designer, who was described in Smithsonian magazine as "part Yaqui indian, part Spanish aristocrat and a swashbuckling former rancher, boxer, telegrapher and amateur architect". Gastelum's home is now an eclectic hotel near to Las Pozas.
The full article is fascinating. Truly amazing stuff -- I can't believe that I knew NOTHING about this place before. I am going to Mexico in June and all of a sudden I want to take a detour up to this beautiful garden! I am such a sucker for architecture and sculpture. Here's an amazing flickr set with tons of great pictures from the garden, and below is a video from the BBC series "Around the World in 80 Gardens" with Monty Don. Thanks again to Anonymous for the tip, and to Joyce James in Anthropologie's customer service department for all the great info!

You are herecontent / Defund the Bangor Wharf to Nowhere
Defund the Bangor Wharf to Nowhere
The U.S. Navy is planning to build a $715 million Second Explosives Handling Wharf at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor in Washington State. It is intended to handle the Trident nuclear armed missiles deployed on the eight ballistic missile submarines homeported there.
The Navy has not needed this second wharf for the past 30 years, but now claims it needs a second wharf to handle missile maintenance demands. Trident submarines at Bangor currently carry reduced numbers of nuclear warheads and U.S. treaty obligations call for continued reductions in nuclear weapons.
There is no reason to build a Second Explosives Handling Wharf. It is quite simply a make work project - the ultimate PORK! This unnecessary project would divert desperately needed funds from important social programs.
Put a stop to this wasteful project by removing its funding, and spend that money on useful programs like Head Start and treatment for soldiers with PTSD.
See www.gzcenter.org and www.psnukefree.org for more information. Read Plan for new Navy wharf at Bangor fires up nuke debate at The Seattle Times.
