The University of Michigan men's track and field team will begin its postseason run at the 2012 Big Ten Outdoor Championships from Friday-Sunday (May 11-13) at the University of Wisconsin's McClimon Complex. Competition will begin on Friday at noon and resume again on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and on Sunday at 11 a.m. CDT.
Athletes in Action this Weekend -- Bobby Aprill, Ali Arastu, Mark Beams, Brendon Blacklaws, Brad Bolton, Erik Braun, Matthew Campbell, Justin Clarke, Ethan Dennis, Austin DeWildt, Scott Dvorak, Craig Forys, Justin Gaumer, Erick Gavin, Jack Greenlee, Nick Neuman, Dallas North, Zach Ornelas, Michael Parker Jr., Robert Peddlar, Morsi Rayyan, Kurt Reichenbach, Troy Sneller, Joe Strizich, Aaron Taylor, Taylor Voice, Herman Washington, James Yau, Philip Washington.
Setting the Scene -- Wisconsin's McClimon Complex features a 400-meter, eight-lane track, which is made of a polyurethane "Martin 2000" surface. The track surrounds a spacious field events area, which doubles as a soccer field. The field features a steeplechase water jump, six jump pits, three discus circles, four shot put throwing circles, two pits each for the high jump and pole vault, and two javelin throwing runways.
There are currently five teams from the Big Ten Conference ranked in the USTFCCCA Division I top 25 poll, including No. 8 Indiana, No. 15 Wisconsin, No. 17 Nebraska, No. 21 Iowa and No. 25 Minnesota.
Michigan in the Big Ten -- The Wolverines finished in ninth place at the 2011 Big Ten Outdoor Championships, tallying 52.5 points. Sophomore Bradley James (East Lansing, Mich./Haslett) was Michigan's highest finisher a year ago as a freshman, taking second in the high jump. The Wolverines also had two other freshmen score points, including Ali Arastu (Northville, Mich./Northville), who finished fourth in the 400-meter hurdles and Herman Washington (Blacklick, Ohio/Gahanna Lincoln), who took seventh in the 110-meter hurdles. Arastu was also a member of the 4x400-meter relay team that placed third. Senior/junior Matthew Campbell (Rochester, Mich./Rochester) was also on that relay squad and will return to run for the Wolverines at this year's conference meet.
Michigan has won 31 Big Ten titles in program history with the last coming in 2008. The Maize and Blue won the conference crown with 129 points that year. Since Michigan began competing in the Big Ten Outdoor Championships in 1901, the Wolverines have won 312 individual event and relay titles.
With the addition of Nebraska to the Big Ten Conference, the championship meet will now include 11 teams as Northwestern does not have a track and field program.
Championships on BTN -- The Big Ten Outdoor Championships will be aired on the Big Ten Network on May 20 starting at noon.
Wolverines of the Week -- Each week throughout the season, the track and field coaching staff will select members of the team as Wolverines of the Week. "The team recognition is based on personal accomplishments that enhance team objectives and examples of competitive focus," said head coach Fred LaPlante.
This week's Wolverines of the Week are sophomore Ali Arastu (Northville, Mich./Northville), freshman Scott Dvorak (Westmont, Ill./Westmont), sophomore/freshman Justin Gaumer (Holly, Mich./Holly), senior Nick Neuman (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East), fifth-year senior Taylor Voice (Boyne City, Mich./Boyne City), sophomore Herman Washington (Blacklick, Ohio/Gahanna Lincoln), freshman Philip Washington (West Bloomfield, Mich./West Bloomfield) and sophomore/freshman James Yau (Troy, Mich./Troy).
Each of the selected athletes recorded new personal-best marks at the Len Paddock Invitational and will represent the Maize and Blue at the Big Ten Championships.
Mixing up the Relay -- Nine different athletes have competed on the 4x400-meter relay team in five different meets during the outdoor season. At the Mt. SAC Relays on April 20, the Wolverines ran a season-best time of 3:08.88 to finish second in the event behind Minnesota; the mark currently ranks fifth in the Big Ten. The relay was made up of freshman Philip Washington (West Bloomfield, Mich./West Bloomfield), sophomore Ali Arastu (Northville, Mich./Northville), senior/junior Matthew Campbell (Rochester, Mich./Rochester) and junior/sophomore Troy Sneller (Hamilton, Mich./Hamilton).
During the 2012 indoor season, the relay team of senior Nick Neuman (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East), sophomore/freshman Michael Parker Jr. (Jackson, Mich./Michigan Center), junior Aaron Taylor (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester Adams) and Arastu ran a season-best time of 3:07.75 to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Indoor Championships. All four members of the squad earned All-America second team honors.
Last Time on the Track: Len Paddock Invitational -- Michigan won five total events in front of a home crowd at the Len Paddock Invitational May 3-4. Junior/sophomore Ethan Dennis (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grandville) kicked off Michigan's only home meet of the outdoor season winning the hammer throw with a mark of 62.18 meters (204-0). In his first time running the 400-meter dash this season, sophomore Ali Arastu (Northville, Mich./Northville) won the event, recording the sixth-fastest time in the Big Ten at 47.00. In the 110-meter hurdles, sophomores Herman Washington (Blacklick, Ohio/Gahanna Lincoln) clocked a personal-best time of 14.12 to finish in first place. Senior Nick Neuman (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) also won the 200-meter dash in a personal-best time of 21.53.

Best of the Best -- Three Michigan athletes rank among the top 25 in the nation in their respective events. Fifth-year senior Craig Forys (Howell, N.J./Colts Neck) ranks 10th in the NCAA in the 3,000-meter steeplechase with his time of 8:44.59, which he ran at the Mt. SAC Relays on April 19. After running a personal-best time of 50.54 in the 400-meter hurdles at the Mt. SAC Relays on April 20, sophomore Ali Arastu (Northville, Mich./Northville) owns the 11th-best time in the country in the 400-meter hurdles. In the hammer throw, junior/sophomore Ethan Dennis's (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grandville) school-record setting throw of 62.75 meters (205-10.50) ranks 25th in the NCAA.
Rewriting the Record Book -- Junior/sophomore Ethan Dennis (Grand Rapids, Mich./Grandville) set a new school record in the hammer throw at the Georgia Spec Towns Invitational on April 13. His lifetime-best throw of 62.75 meters (205-10.75) broke the previous record of 62.50 meters (204-5) set by Sean Pruitt in 2009. Dennis has already surpassed his season-best throw from 2011 by nearly 10 feet (59.75 meters, 196-0), which he registered at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships.
Dennis has won the hammer throw at three meets this outdoor season, including the Colonial Relays, Mt. SAC Relays and the Len Paddock Invitational.
Personal Improvement -- Eight Wolverines recorded new personal-best marks at the Len Paddock Invitational last weekend. After six meets this outdoor season, 24 Wolverines have set new PRs in at least one event, with seven improving in at least two events. During the 2012 indoor season, 36 student-athletes recorded new PRs.
Relays Galore -- At the William & Mary Colonial Relays, held April 6-7, Michigan competed in six different relay events. The Wolverines took first in the sprint medley relay and finished runner up in the other five relays, including the 4x100-, 4x200-, 4x1500-, 4x400-meter and distance medley relays. The 4x100- and 4x400-meter relays are the only two events contested at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Eleven different athletes got the opportunity to compete on at least one relay team at the meet. Michigan registered 52 of its 167 total team points during the relay events.
At the Penn Relays April 26-28, Michigan competed in three different relay events -- the distance medley, the 4x400-meter and 4x800-meter relays. The DMR finished runner up in the college division, while the 4x400-meter relay took third in the college division finals.
In the Rankings -- Michigan dropped one spot to No. 5 in the sixth Great Lakes Region poll released Tuesday (May 8) by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). U-M is one of six Big Ten schools in the Great Lakes Region, including No. 1 Wisconsin, No. 2 Indiana, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 7 Michigan State and No. 14 Purdue.
Fresh Faces -- Michigan added 22 new student-athletes to the roster this season. Of those 22, seven competed for the Wolverines during the indoor track and field season. Philip Washington (West Bloomfield, Mich./West Bloomfield) was the only freshman on the 4x400-meter relay team at the Big Ten Indoor Championships, which finished fourth, and was an alternate on the relay at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
At the Colonial Relays (April 6), sophomore/freshman Mark Beams (Vicksburg, Mich./Vicksburg) ran the 5,000-meter run in his outdoor collegiate debut. Three Wolverine freshmen made their collegiate outdoor debuts at the USC Trojan Invitational (March 23-24) -- Brad Bolton (Lake Forest, Calif./El Toro), Scott Dvorak (Westmont, Ill./Westmont) and Philip Washington (West Bloomfield, Mich./West Bloomfield). Redshirt freshmen Justin Gaumer (Holly, Mich./Holly) and James Yau (Troy, Mich./Troy) also competed for U-M in their first collegiate outdoor meet at USC.
Peddlar Returns for Final Season -- Fifth-year senior Robert Peddlar (Kingston, Jamaica/Wolmer's Boys), who exhausted his indoor track and field eligibility in 2011 and could not compete indoor in 2012, returned to the field for his final outdoor season at the USC Trojan Invitational on March 31. He finished second in the long jump in his outdoor season debut. Peddlar is the only current Wolverine to have won an individual Big Ten title as he won the Big Ten indoor long jump in 2010.
DeWildt Family Traditions -- Junior pole vaulter Austin DeWildt (Wyoming, Mich./Catholic Central) was named the team's Most Improved Athlete in 2011. He tied for third at the 2011 Big Ten Outdoor Championships and went on to finish 13th at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds. Austin's older brother, Charles DeWildt, was the last Michigan pole vaulter to win a Big Ten outdoor pole vault title in 2000. Charles ranks second on U-M's all-time outdoor performers list with a vault of 17-4.75, which he cleared in 2000. Their father, Charles Sr., was a pole vaulter at Western Michigan.
2011 Outdoor Rewind -- Michigan finished ninth at the 2011 Big Ten Outdoor Championships and was represented by Craig Forys (Howell, N.J./Colts Neck) at the NCAA Championships. Forys qualified for the finals in the 3,000-meter steeplechase where he finished ninth to earn All-America second team honors.
2012 NCAA OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFYING -- For the third consecutive season, the East and West Preliminary Championship competition will be utilized to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Using a descending order list, the top 48 athletes in each event will participate in two rounds (first round and quarterfinals) during the Preliminary Round. Twelve competitors from each individual event and 12 teams from each relay event will advance from each Preliminary Championship competition to the NCAA Championships. There are no qualifying marks used during the outdoor season. This year's NCAA East Preliminary Round will be held at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Fla.

I usually order my condoms through condomdepot.com but they did not have a specific brand in stock so I decided to try condomman.com. They had them in stock and they were actually a cheaper. I placed my order on 1/3/2011 and I quickly received an order confirmation followed by a shipping confirmation on 1/7/2011. I chose free shipping which takes 6-9 business days. After two weeks, I emailed the company through their website but no response was given. I emailed again through their website 3 days later and I sent an email to green web properties but still no response was given. At this point I am going to have to file a claim with my credit card company. Horrible company, do not order from them!

Metron coat collection running one more week
BELDING — There's still one week left to help make someone a little bit warmer this winter.
The Metron of Belding third annual coat drive wraps up on Friday.
According to Life Enrichment Director Sherri Nichoson, this year's collection of gently-used items began on Labor Day. Collection boxes were placed at the main office and north entrance doors at Metron, where items can be dropped off anytime.
The idea of a coat drive came late in the fall of 2009, leaving a small team of nurses and administrators at Metron scrambling to collect winter wear and get it distributed before the cold weather came.
"We collected about 75 items the first year," Nichoson said. "We served about 15 families and had only a few items left."
The need continued to increase last year, so Metron of Belding teamed with Metron of Greenville to collect nonperishable food items and winter wear to give to local food pantries.
With the threat of a pie in the face for the losing facility, more than 2,000 food items were collected and more than 200 people received a new coat to keep them warm.
This year, after the collection ends, Metron of Belding will distribute all donated winter items at its building from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 6 and 7.
"We have a kind, caring community and they have been instrumental in making our efforts a success," Nichoson said. "We just want to give back."
Contact Nichoson at (616) 619-7811 for more information on the collection and distribution.

American Dream Meadowlands to finally get exterior makeover [video]
The long-awaited exterior makeover of American Dream Meadowlands — formerly known as Xanadu — is finally on the verge of kicking off, said a top Meadowlands Sports Complex official.
"You'll see changes very soon," said Wayne Hasenbalg, the president of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, adding that the remodeling of the multi-color exterior is likely to begin within the next two weeks.
Hasenbalg said that the shift in color — from the much-derided shades of green, red, orange, blue, and yellow — to white and gray involves a combination of paint and vinyl paneling. Some of the materials involved can only be used in warmer temperatures, Hasenbalg said, so the redesigned exterior work would not be completed before next spring.
Mobile users click here for video.
"It's going to take more than a year overall," Hasenbalg said. "So let's make sure people understand that what will be happening (in the coming months) is not the finished product."
Executives for now-defunct Mills Corp., the original Xanadu developers who began construction in 2005, defended themselves from a chorus of critics by saying that LED lighting, landscaping, and other aspects not yet added to the project site would make the final design far more appealing. Colony Capital took over the site in 2006, but most construction ceased in 2009 when a major lender for the project defaulted on its promised funding.
American Dream, the 2.9-million square foot makeover of the shopping and entertainment project being undertaken by developer Triple Five, is not expected to open before fall 2016; a package of up to $800 million in publicly-issued bonds has yet to be finalized.
There have been signs of life at the site in recent months, however, on the south side of the project. Four giant radio towers were removed in April at the planned location of a 639,000-square-foot indoor amusement and water park complex, and in recent weeks that are has been the subject of extensive landscaping.
Triple Five officials say that a caravan of dump trucks will soon start to bring dirt to the park complex site to compact the ground until next spring.
Hasenbalg also said that the agency is negotiating with Triple Five about leasing space for construction offices at the old Meadowlands Racetrack grandstand, which remains intact even though a new grandstand opened last November. Track patrons and employees visit the new grandstand exclusively, leaving only sports authority employees still coming to the old grandstand.
"Needless to say, a lot of construction companies are going to be involved with this project, and the thought is to have the principals all under one roof rather than using the temporary trailers at the site," Hasenbalg said. "You're talking about people that are going to be here for up to two years as American Dream gets built."
Hasenbalg added that the agency is exploring whether events such as trade shows could be lured to the old grandstand.
"We're basically talking about anything we can do to defray costs here until a decision is made as to what's going to happen [to the old grandstand]," Hasenbalg said.

How and why did you go into business together?
Andy Mitchell: We met working inside a global advertising agency here in New Zealand where we had both been recruited specifically to accelerate the growth of a particular business unit. It didn't take long to discover that we shared a passion for ideas that could disrupt habitual thinking.
Friday O'Flaherty: We were both very interested in the use of creative thinking in strategy and being open to ideas that weren't necessarily advertising-led. But to deliver this kind of service we needed to create a fundamentally different business model. We decided to back ourselves and see if it would work in practice. We launched at the height of the global financial crisis in 2008 and have been riding the wave of business transformation ever since.
How do you split certain duties within the business?
Mitchell: Our partnership is particularly complex because our desks are 20,000km apart. Friday has been working in Shoreditch, in East London, for the past year, getting our new office established there. Because of that distance we don't have those opportunities to communicate spontaneously; we have to plan even our informal discussions and get everything in the diary.
We split our duties based on our particular talents and strengths. There is little point slaving away for hours when your partner can crack it in minutes. This works particularly well for us as our natural skills are complementary. Friday used to be an air-traffic controller and has an amazing talent for staying focussed and managing complex projects. He's fantastic with detail and is the best client manager in this space I've seen. I'm the complete opposite. I'm about simplifying things at the big-picture level. My focus is now more commercial, whereas Friday's is more creative.
What factors make your partnership work?
Mitchell: In a word, structure. We make time to talk informally and catch up on the sentiment behind our actions. Then we formally report once a month with written detail so we can hold each other clearly to account and ensure we're both doing the right thing at the right time.
We also find it useful for us both to have two distinct purposes in the business. We separate our role as owners/directors from the role of business leaders. It helps us look at the same situation in two different ways and make more robust decisions. It's an idea that was introduced to us by Craig Steel, of the Steel Institute of Performance, and at first I wondered how we could really do that. But with practice you can change the lens through which you look at your business and it's been hugely helpful.
What have been some of the challenges of working together?
Mitchell: For me, the most challenging times have been when we've prioritised the everyday time pressure of business over our time to talk. Because we know each other so well, we start making assumptions about what the other person wants - and we all know what happens when you assume stuff.
O'Flaherty: Andy's accent sometimes makes me think I'm in a Bond film and I might be the villain. This can be distracting. Otherwise, I agree with Andy. It's easy to get caught up in what you as an individual have to deliver but we're better when we're working together.
What advice would you have for others looking to work together in partnership?
Mitchell: Embrace it wholeheartedly and just jump in and do it. Two minds are so much more powerful than one.
O'Flaherty: Speak to other business owners, it doesn't matter the industry, and find out what mistakes they made. This way you can avoid making the mistakes that everyone makes and hurry up and make some that are your very own. This way your business can be better faster.
Coming up in Small Business: The end of the financial year is drawing near. It's often a time when small business owners are busy looking back to get their affairs in order, but do you also use it as an opportunity to look forward and set some goals for the year ahead? If you've got an end-of-financial-year story to share, drop me a note at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Mane Event
Are your locks limp? Is your weave worn? Wanna change your hair-don't back into a do? Girls, head to Badd Hair Day at the Miramar Cultural Center this Sunday. Unlike that hair show your sister's friend threw together, Badd Hair Day is a full-scale megaproduction showcasing scissor ninjas from the 305 all the way up to the 561.
The show's organizers, DP Hair Exquisite, combed area beauty shops and found the sharpest, most innovative stylists and then pitted them against each other by dangling a $5,000 cash prize, payable to the winning salon. But that's not all. Miami's beat-droppin' darlin', Trina, is scheduled as the show's celebrity judge. Because the Diamond Princess has never been caught with a messy weave, you can trust her to chunk the junk and pluck out the baddest, craziest, most forward-thinking hairstyle in the mix.

- This question has been deleted.
General Question
What can I do to help my friend?
How can I be friends with someone like this? She's crazy. She thinks her life is the worst in history. She has one insecurity and she handled it pretty badly. She thinks she's fat and one guy called her that so she takes it in even worse. But I consider her one of the weakest person I know because this is how she handles her problem; She cuts herself, she wants to make it seem like she hates food, she is smoking weed, and I haven't even gotten to the worst part. She's 13. She's crazy. Like I said. She makes herself not eat. We all have insecurities and she sucks at handling hers. I told her she needs a psychiatrist. And this was all in a single day. She just blurred it all out. But, okay. Listen to this part; If you had a friend with this problem you would obviously try to help her.
But what if her problem involves being a total bitch to her very own friends?
For example; She tells me "So what problems have you had? Family? Heart break? That's it?" She doesn't know how much it hurts me when she says my problems are nothing and hers are. She completely went psycho and told off my friend about her eating a taco. She kept saying my friend was gonna die if she kept eating. She said it all to her face. She showed me her cuts 5 times.
I'm starting to think she just wants me to know she's a lot more mature than me or anyone else. (Because this generation is full of that crap. They think smoking is cool. Even self hurting.) Why show cuts more times than needed? Then she'd show me her towel full of blood and say "I need to wash this. See it's blood." Then she showed me her weed. What kind of friend. She's ignorant.
She says things like "Your just like (friend) who thinks I'm making my problem bigger than it really is." I wanted to scream at her for making me feel like a worthless peace of shit. But deep down i want to help her. She says she doesn't feel happiness nor sadness anymore and she doesn't need help. But she does. I can see she's insane and needs to stop.
She's loosing many people because of her attitude and she's loosing herself because of her actions. How can I make her understand she's wrong if she doesn't like it when she's wrong and refuses to think so. And it bounces back to me because she can think i'm that little girl (who by the way is 15 but no one takes me seriously because I look like a 12 year old.) who is such a goody good and wont grow up.
But that's the thing. She's the one who is trying to grow up way to fast. Because she thinks it's cool. There is no question about it. I want to blur this all out on her face to release the pain she's causing me. I'm sick of just watching this. I have a friend who just watches things go by and she doesn't do anything about it. She just thinks it will all blow over. But this is definitely not gonna blow over. She's acting like a bitch to all of us and she's getting worse. She can't just get away with it, right? It hurts me. And it hurts her.
For everything she is doing is affecting not only me but her. I feel like I need to tell her off because she hurt me by saying I have no problems. But I feel like I need to help her because she's insane. How can I get her help without having her get furious at me? Or am I with the problem? She makes it seem that way. But all I want to do is help. But, another thing. I told a friend everything and that friend hates her. But he ended up saying "Wheres the weed? In your dresser?" Which obviously got her furious. She confronted me on Facebook. And I couldn't hold it anymore. Mainly because she said "You know, I always knew you couldn't keep your fucking mouth shut. Looks like that's the last thing I ever tell you." So I told her back "And you think your problem is the only problem in the world."
Then she just told me to stop fucking talking to her. So that's just an example of "telling a friend". That's how she will react. But then again, that friend wasn't meant to tell her that. He was suppose to keep his mouth shut. I needed to just tell someone! I needed to get it all out! I couldn't hold it! She was driving me insane! What is this world coming to? I have problems, she has problems, we all have problems. She doesn't have the right to say this. What can I do?! I can't wait to grow up and forget these immature humans I'm surrounded by.
I'm not mature myself. But it's like hell broke loose and I wouldn't go that far down hill in life like this. And she thinks it's cool! It's not cool. It's not. It's not! How can I convince someone so ignorant?!

Ripoff Report
Tina IrvingInternet USA
Tina Irving Caledonian Iberian Conections Under Brough Bay Ltd. we commission Clickingz to design and build a web site. There are already substantial records about the company on Rip Off report but Mr. Hassen has recently contacted me with abusive and threatening emails. The matter of any unpaid bills, if they exist, should be made through the court, not through harassment. Clearwater, Florida Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In 2013, Clickingz contacted me and said that they could design and build a web site for us. The price was good, and they made all the right noises. All was going well. However, as time went on, I spent most of my time answering the same emails again and again. They kept referring to the North Highland Way as a place, I told them time and again that it is a trail. They did not understand.
I have a degree in IT from a London University, but they treated me with such contempt that I handed over the site to my partner, who also has a degree in IT. It was clear that they did not like dealing with a woman, especially someone with more knowledge than them.
It became clear that they were not going to meet the deadline. They didn't.
I don't know how someone with clearly limited technical knowledge, and could not even access our servers when we gave them the password can possibly call themselves web developers. This has all come to the fore months later when Mr. Hassen found a post on Facebook supporting other people who had problems with him. I have contacted some of those people and he has not contacted them. This is a clear attempt at intimidation, harassment and Mr. Hassen should first understand clear and concise English (from a journalist, which I am) and then the laws of the Country in which he resides.
Given the number of complaints about this company on this site, would anyone want to contribute to legal costs and put forward a case against him. I would be willing to put in $100.

Michelle Obama: Ending Veteran Homelessness an Audacious, Achievable Goal
June 5, 2014
I'm more hopeful all the time that, by the end of 2015, the number of veterans who are homeless will be strikingly low. Yesterday I had the honor of participating in an event at the White House that I believe marked the beginning of the final push to end veteran homelessness. At the event, First Lady Michelle Obama announced the Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness.
I had never seen Michelle Obama speak in person before. Now that I have, it's clear to me that she will be a powerful and persuasive voice for this effort. (Video of the announcement is embedded at the top.) She spoke not just about the "moral outrage" of tens of thousands of veterans being homeless, but also about all the progress we have already made toward what she called the audacious but achievable goal of ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015.
Mayors, she said, "are best equipped to tackle this challenge because they know their communities inside and out, and they're in touch with service providers who know these veterans by name." During her speech, she announced the commitment of 77 mayors, four governors, and four county officials to meet that goal, and called on other mayors and local leaders to make the same commitment.
Once her speech was over, the audience of around 200 mayors, city staffers, national leaders and others moved to a briefing room in the Eisenhower Building to hear a panel of experts discuss best practices on ending veteran homelessness, and the challenges mayor's offices have had to overcome.
Themes that arose from the discussion included:
- The importance of brokering agreements that ensure that the most intensive interventions go to veterans with the most severe housing barriers;
- The need to implement rapid re-housing in an effective manner to drive the numbers down;
- Securing the cooperation of the community, particularly landlords and employers, in efforts to house homeless veterans.
Next was a panel of mayors who are participating in the Mayors Challenge. These were men and women who have already achieved impressive results for their cities, including Ralph Becker from Salt Lake City and Annise Parker from Houston (click here for a full list). During their discussion, they emphasized the need for mayors and city leaders to:
- Clearly articulate the goals to keep people focused;
- Build partnerships with landlords, law enforcement, local Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) staff, and employers; and
- Assign competent and dedicated staff to work on the issue.
Eight years ago I appeared before a Senate hearing and said that the country needed to take three big steps to solve the problem of veterans homelessness:
- Expand the range of program models that are available;
- Fund these program models at the level necessary to serve every veteran who becomes homeless; and
- Pull together efforts in each community to identify every homeless veteran and use these resources to get him or her housed.
With the expanded funding we have seen for HUD-VASH and SSVF, the first two steps have been accomplished. The Mayors Challenge, along with a lot of other work that's going on, looks like it could be the key to taking that third step.
Take a look at HUD's website page on the Mayor's Challenge to find out more about this initiative. If your mayor hasn't made the commitment, let's talk about how to rectify that situation!

Check out how well you know the driving rules!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I missed one. :(
Didn't do too well - anyone want to go for a ride? Average score.
I'm just average too. Oh well I learned something here.
Okay, I'll confess I flunked miserably. I learned from it, though!
Honestly, I've never seen some of this stuff.
I had no idea there was a distance for following a first truck at. I've never been in a position to follow one (isn't this rule really for ambulance-chasing lawyers?), and I would apply the rule of thumb to stay out of their way anyway. How far away is 500 feet anyway?
I don't feel that knowing the single biggest contributor to accidents or the % due to alcohol will make me a better driver. I know not to do those things; IMO, that's much more important.
The school zone speed was news to me. Some schools have flashers telling drivers to go 15 mph when they're on, but when they're not, I have never seen anyone go anything but the post speed limit for the road (30 mph, 40 mph). No one ever slows to that speed within the marked school zone.
And I thought pedestrians always, always had right of way. I mean, consider the outcome if one is in your way and you have the right of way and you decide to insist on it...
I passed the road signs test, though I can't say I did all that well on it, either. HM? No, I've never seen anything about an HM sign.
Thanks for posting this. It is helpful to know these things.
I also thought pedestrians always have the right of way.
I think I will continue NOT running over them. :D
Just noticed a typo on my first post here. That should have been "fire truck," not "first truck."
Well, I drove through a school zone today and noticed that, as I approached it, there was a sign saying SPEED LIMIT 35. In the middle of the school zone, another sign said SPEED LIMIT 45. There was also a flasher light, which goes on at certain times, and when it's on, the speed limit is 15 mph until you reach the End School Zone sign. To, it's pretty clear that they aren't expecting you to go 20 mph there, not when there are two speed limit signs with much higher limits.
So that made me take another look at the website giving the test. Lo, and behold, it's not an official governmental or regulatory organization. It started as some guy's blog. The guy, Marcus Jain, lives in Port Angeles, Washington. Maybe these are the laws for his state. Gee, who do we know that lives in Port Angeles? Beverly, have you heard of this guy?
I'm not saying he or his group is a fraud, just that they're not official and maybe don't have all their facts checked.
I must be one of them crazy California drivers. IMHO I only missed the unimportant ones. :lol: Why would I need to know that 40% of accidents involve alcohol as long as I don't drink and drive?
LOL, I failed!
But I did remember what the officer said when he pulled me over in the school zone. So, I did get that one right.
Well I am underage and though it would teach me something when it's my time to learn.
The first time I took it. I did HORRIBLE! I got a 37% and that figured out to be a F- Lol.
I just took it again..... I BARELY Passes! I got 67% and succeded with a D+! Woo! Well I learned some stuff! :D

Sharpstown doesn't have the best reputation in Houston. Many associate the area near the southwest corner of the Southwest Freeway and Beltway 8 with high crime.
But Sharpstown Civic Association President Jim Bigham says that's not fair.
"We know we have about three cars stolen a month across the 7,000-home neighborhood. Three. Out of 7,000 homes."
He says news reports about crime in Sharpstown have often been misleading because they included surrounding areas that are much more prone to crime.
However, in the last few months, one part of the residential Sharpstown area has experienced a very high number of home and vehicle burglaries.
That's when the civic association decided to put up a mobile camera system.
It's a white box elevated about two feet from the ground. On top of it, on both sides of a T-shaped pole are two small remote-controlled cameras. Kind of like the ones you see in clothing stores.
"And the idea was to, No. 1, be visible, so that folks that were thinking about breaking into cars or doing some petty crimes may be deterred by that, but also — as you can see it's on a major thoroughfare, fairly busy street here — that in the event we had some break-ins that perhaps we could capture some footage of folks coming and going on the public streets."
The neighborhood's private security service initially put the cameras at the corner of Mary Bates Boulevard and Carvel Lane. It's now in Dominic Krus's front yard a block down the road.
Krus says the civic association asked him if they could put the device in his front yard and he agreed.
"You gotta do what you gotta do, you know. We've had a lot of… a rash of burglaries around here late summer before school started."
Jim Bigham says he's aware that cameras in public places can raise concerns about privacy but he says the association has received no negative feedback on the measure.
"There is that trade-off that folks were very aware of the burglaries and auto burglaries that were going on and they felt that it was a good trade off, at least on a short term basis, to try to catch the guy who was doing it or whoever is doing it."
But how effective are surveillance cameras really?
Ray Hunt, president of the Houston Police Officers Union questions the crime deterrence factor of cameras. He says it might only cause burglars to cover their faces and put fictitious license plates on their cars.
"Any neighborhood that wants to employ that type of technology, it could be a deterrent but, again, it's not going to replace having a police officer drive through that neighborhood periodically."
Jim Bigham says that's exactly what the neighborhood is doing, with three private security officers patrolling the area. He says the cameras are just a piece of the puzzle to increase security in Sharpstown.

Jefferson Co. Marine Patrol gets new boat
SALEM, Ore. - The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office soon will have a new patrol boat to help marine law enforcement patrolling Lake Billy Chinook and other local waterways.
The new patrol boat is a 21 foot River Wild Aluminum boat, manufactured by Liquid Technologies in Grants Pass, and comes equipped with a Yamaha (EPA and carb-compliant 4-stroke) 150 horsepower outboard motor, and full electronics for emergency response.
The average age of the current Marine Board boat fleet statewide is 15 years. The Marine Board developed a procurement and retention schedule similar those used for law enforcement vehicles and is retiring older boats with newer models that require less fuel and maintenance.
The new patrol boat replaces a 1987 Almar boat that served the needs of the county for a long time.
The Marine Board's boat replacement program is also intended to match equipment to the specific needs based on the water bodies being patrolled and the specific types of responses needed.
Jefferson County sold the Almar for $7,500 and, combined with $ 44,449 in Marine Board state boater funds, will receive the River Wild boat for a total cost of $52,449.
The Jefferson County marine program currently has one full-time marine deputy and four seasonal deputies.
Jefferson County has about 5.380 surface acres of patrolled water and includes Lake Billy Chinook, Haystack Reservoir, Lake Simtustus, Suttle Lake and the Lower Deschutes River.

... One of the exits said La Bourboule so we entered that and found a Gite BandB that looked nice. Then we discovered that La Bourboule was miles away, up the top of a mountain. It took ages and we got there at about 7.15pm. The BandB is lovely and the village is really pretty.
Back In mountain country and back to mountain food. We all ordered saussicon with my favourite blue d'Auvergne cheese. Turns out it was a potato bake with the sausage and cheese through it. ...

The Wet Seal Inc. a specialty retailer of fashionable and contemporary apparel based in Foothill Ranch, CA has selected SAS Size Profiling to more effectively distribute clothing sizes in its individual stores.
SAS, a provider of business analytics software and services, has already begun working with Wet Seal to roll out the software.
"Using SAS Size Profiling means our customers will find the fashion they want in their preferred sizes through most of the main selling season," said Wet Seal CIO Jon Kubo.
"We expect this will minimize markdowns and lost sales as the use of accurate, store-specific size profiles for each style will minimize situations where we order too many or too few of any specific size. We anticipate this will enhance our customer service and boost our margins. Automating this aspect of our ordering and buying processes with the very sophisticated size-related analytics in SAS Size Profiling helps ensure no opportunity is lost," he added.
SAS Size Profiling uses powerful analytics to transform historical sales data into accurate projections of future demand by size. Integrated with existing merchandising systems, it applies this intelligence to purchasing and allocation workflows. The result is optimal, store-specific size profiles that match local demand. Both pre-season and in-season profiling are systematized through an intuitive user interface and automated workflow.
The Wet Seal operates a total of 495 stores in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, including 412 Wet Seal stores and 83 Arden B stores.

NZXT Tempest 410 Elite Mid-Tower Chassis Review
Since 2008, NZXT's Tempest line-up has become well-known for offering a good bang for the buck. All of the models released to date have bold designs, but nothing over-the-top. The latest variant, the 410 Elite, focuses on efficient airflow, and includes a front honeycomb design and room for a dual-rad out-of-the-box.

I was wondering if anyone has modified a conventional steering linkage car to a rack and pinion with the stock crossmember.
I am looking to do this on a s-1o chassis and use a manual rack
Is this possible?
I converted my Rambler to R&P with the stock crossmember, see it at http://groups.msn.com/AMCsForever/cl...t.msnw?Page=2.
I had to make a bracket that held the R&P out the correct distance from the crossmember. I also discovered that the steering arms for the Ford R&P (arms on the spindles) are 5" from center of ball joint to center of tir rod end. The stock arms on my car are 7" from the same locations. This greatly reduces the turning circle. AMC has separate bolt on spindles, arms, and steering knuckles, so I'm making new arms from 1" square tubing. You'll have to bend or cut and weld yours if they are much longer, or just accept the shorter turning circle.
The T-bird, Aerostar, or Mustang rack (all are the same) works if your steering linkage is in front of the crossmember, use a Taurus rack if in the back (or a GM rack from a front drive car). There are two GM designs: one similar to the Ford found on Chevettes and some other rear drive vehicles, and the more common type that has the tie rod ends near the center of the rack used on most front drive vehicles. I'm not sure which you'll find on what car, you'll have to go to a salvage yard and do some "shopping" if you want to use a GM rack.

water circulation problem
I'm experiencing something strange with the water circulation on the roadster. This is a 351 Ford with the radiator mounted in the trunk.
I fill the system with water, raising the rear (radiator) end of the car so the filler neck is about 6" higher than the next highest point in the system and allow any air bubbles to burp themselves out and then top off again until I get no more bubbles and the water level stabilizes.
I then start the engine. As the temp gauge begins to rise (usually between 100 and 140) coolant will start flowing out the overflow pipe in fairly large quantities.
My first thought was a stuck thermostat so I pulled it and tested it and it did not open in boiling water. So now I've temporarily removed the t-stat altogether. But when I tested again, the same thing happened, coolant gets pushed out the overflow at a pretty good rate. I also back flushed the system which DID result in a lot of ugly crap coming out the radiator but it didn't solve the problem.
Also, the top radiator hose is warm/hot to the touch while the bottom radiator hose is still cool. The water getting pushed out the overflow is cool/cold and the radiator is cool/cold. The block is hot but the temp gauge only reads between 100-140 when this happens. This happened a bit last summer when I was driving the car a bit but over the winter I had things pretty well dismantled and now the problem seems much worse.
My next suspect on the list is the water pump but I'm getting none of the normal broken water pump symptoms (like squirting out the weep hole or wobble in the bearings etc.) I'll pull it tomorrow to take a look at the rotors but I can't quite imagine this thing isn't pumping. Any other suggestions?

I'm thinking air in the system............Try 1/2 filling it with coolant, start it up and add the rest slowly as the car warms up.....That should get all the air out. That's how I do it.....
I'm not sure I understand the theory of how the air pockets would be prevented by starting with a half full system and then starting the engine/pump but I'll sure give it a try in the morning...sounds a lot easier than pulling the water pump for an inspection. The one thing that makes me believe you are on the right track is the fact that the system worked fairly well (although not perfect) last summer...no over heating or excessive puking of the coolant.

Is the cap any good?
"As the temp gauge begins to rise (usually between 100 and 140) coolant will start flowing out the overflow pipe in fairly large quantities."
Maybe there's something I'm missing here. How is the water getting past the radiator cap? The system can't possibly be up to pressure at 100-140. Try a new cap? 16-17lbs?
Yeah, thats the only thing I can think of....Maybe the rubber seal and or the spring is junk. Most people don't realize that a cap should be replaced every few years when you change and flush the system. At any rate, if 140* water is gettin past the cap, something is wrong.
I agree,
#1) thing to check and replace if not holding pressure. Also check that new cap with a pressure tester. 90% of caps are 2-3 pounds lower than their rated pressure.
# 2) The lower radiator hose going back to the engine is probably sucking flat because it has no "spring" in it to prevent collapsing, so the water pump is making enough "circulation pressure" to force the coolant out of the cap.
A plugged radiator will give the same overflowing effect.
Grab a coat hangar wire and wrap it around a broom handle to make "hose springs". Be sure to do a little loop in the ends of the wire so that it will not make a hole in the rubber hose.
If you have a long run of hose, use exhaust pipe tubing appropriately bent as the water "hose" connecting each end with rubber. Allow enough rubber to flex and prevent stress on the radiator, etc.
You said the coolant is "warm" so it is not likely that your gauge is reading incorrectly.

I think there is 1 thing you are missing.
Water expands when it gets warm. As the water expands it will go past the cap and out the overflow (hopefully into a res.). When the engine cools back down (and the water shrinks) it will get sucked back into the rad. (as long as the end of the hose is below the water level in the overflow res.
This is why all cars say "CHECK HOT" on the side of the tank.
drill 3, 3/16's-5/16's holes in your thermostat and it'll cure your air problem and not affect anything else in a bad way.did you add an electric inline water pump to the system along with your belt driven pump?doesn't seem like enough water pres. for that distance to travle.meziere has a 20 gpm pump at jegs for about 175.00,then you would have a pump at each end of the car.
351 huh, Windsor or Cleveland?. I assume Windsor as we hung onto Clevelands much longer.
If the cap is ok and it is suited to the radiator/recovery system you have, could you have a reverse rotation pump on a clockwise system or vice-versa? Also 'top hose hot, bottom cold'. I hope this is a crossflow 'cause if it's a vertical flow it sounds bassarkwards - you know heat rises etc. good luck.
Thanks for the brain storming guys. Gives me a number of ideas to try out this morning.
Definitely could be a bad cap...as the radiator core is brand new but the cap is the original. So I'll try the cap from my pickup which I know is good.
Also, problem could be compounded by an air pocket - so I'll fill the system according to Poncho's directions.
I don't think it's "flat" hoses...since the lower has a spring I've been observing the hoses throughout, and they are not contracting.
Also, the flow is not now being held up by the thermostat - because I removed the guts of the t-stat completely.
I don't believe it's a plugged radiator - it's brand new (yes, it is cross flow). Also, I've back flushed the system until the water runs perfectly clear.
One item I would highlight, however, is the extreme difference in temperatures when this occurs. I can run the engine up to operating temp. (190) and the radiator will will remain cool to the touch. This will push rather large amounts of coolant out the overflow but the exiting coolant will be at ambient temp (cool to the touch) while the block temp is very hot.
One final "theory" question. If the radiator cap is bad, could that result in a failure of the coolant to circulate throught the system (i.e. the system never comes up to pressure because everything is being pumped out the cap rather than around the system)? I would still think I ought to be getting hot water pumped out my overflow...but that is not the case.
Hopefully I'll have a bit more to report in a couple hours. Keep the ideas coming if you have them.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.

Could be that your radiator is that efficient. Hot water goes into the side opposite the cap (the cool side). I'd replace the cap and use a recovery tank setup instead of a plain overflow. Your system holds a good bit more coolant than a stypical cooling system because of the long runs of pipe/hose, which also help it cool better. The water going into your radiator has to be a bit cooler than a typical engine setup after that long run of pipe. You likely get a bit more expansion than normal, and have more radiator than needed. The higher volume (mass) of water will cool better than a lower volume would, indicating a smaller than normal radiator would have been fine.
And the winner is..........bad radiator cap. I replaced the old one with a working cap from my pickup and the problem was instantly solved. Just went out for a short "cruise" and the cooling system was flawless. (BTW - it's a GREAT day up here in Wisconsin for riding around in roadster.)
Thanks to all for your input. As usual, I learned something new.

Spiritual Regression
Life Between Lives (LBL)
& Past Life Regression Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis Sessions are based on
the work of Michael Newton, Ph. D."
Past Life
Watch your past
lives play out as if you were watching a movie. Observe your past life
personalities live other lifetimes in different roles and
relationships. Identify friends and relatives who shared those lifetimes
with you. Identify lessons learned as well as those that you have
brought forward into this lifetime.
Recovering your soul memories helps to foster a greater integration of mind,
body and spirit in your daily life.
I did a
regressive hypnosis with you in December 2005. I just wanted to drop you a
line to let you know that several months ago I met someone and that someone
happened to be the love of my life in 3 past lifetimes, one of those
lifetimes I remembered through the session with you. The second through
recollection in the last few months, and the third I'm still putting the
pieces together. What is more amazing is that he described certain details
about that session I had with you that I had never told anyone. He remembers
more than me for all the lifetimes. It's pretty amazing. I thought you'd
like to know, because I had been so skeptical of what I had and have
experienced since, but finding someone who collaborates those experiences is
a rare find. And yet again, we are together in another lifetime.
P from Florida
"The regression that "M"
and I
did with you seems to have been the best gift I could have ever given
myself. Makes going through these things much easier. "
K from Ohio
1. Past Life
Regression: 3 to 3.5 hour session - $350.00
Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy is
an ultimate spiritual experience.
(These LBL Regressions are currently unavailable)
Meet your Spirit Guides and your
Meet your Spirit Guides and your
Between Life (LBL)
Hypnotherapy, Spiritual Regression is based on the work of Dr. Michael
Newton, as described in his books "Journey of Souls," "Destiny
of Souls, and Life Between Lives" In a spiritual regression, you are led back in time to your
past life, with the help of deep trance (hypnosis). You observe your death and then
proceed into the spirit world where you meet with your Spirit Guide,
Council of Elders and your Soul Group Family. Your soul group has been
with you throughout countless incarnations. This experience provides you with the the opportunity to explore how and why you chose some of your
current life circumstances and relationships. Although you are in deep
trance, you are awake, alert, and conscious of all that you experience.
Most people question what their life purpose really is. This journey is an
opportunity to access your subconscious mind and soul state, and this
helps you to know on a deeper level what your life purpose is.
Through being with your Soul Family, you learn how you have known friends
and family across many lifetimes. You can also learn why certain
circumstances have occurred in this lifetime. An LBL (Life Between Lives) Spiritual Regression can
help you to resolve these and many more questions about your life.
In a Spiritual Regression, you experience what it is like in the spirit
world. You can feel a depth of love, joy, and peace often not felt on the
earth. You learn how peaceful it feels to die, who your spirit guide is,
and how you are helped both in the hereafter and here on earth by wise
loving spirits. You are able to ask questions and receive answers from
these wise supportive beings. During your journey, you get a bigger
picture of who you are and why you are here.
This journey is an opportunity to step out of your earthly world and move
into the spirit world. It is a deeply moving and profoundly life-enhancing
It is recommended,
and usually required that you do a
Past Life Regression session prior to a Life Between Life (LBL) Spiritual Regression session.
2. LBL Spiritual Regression:
4 hour + session - $450.00
(Jan is currently not scheduling LBL regressions. Check back at a later
date. Past Life Spiritual Regressions are available)
To Schedule an Appointment
Therapists who have completed an advanced LBL
hypnotherapy training have differing personalities, academic backgrounds,
practical experience, fee structures and skill areas. Whereas geographic
proximity will likely be a major factor in whom you decide to contact, also
keep in mind that entering into the deep trance necessary for LBL has much
to do with the rapport and trust you feel towards your practitioner. In this
electronic age of emails and websites, sometimes the human element is
under-emphasized. If you are considering calling Jan Meryl as your
Spiritual Regressionist. it is suggested that you take the time to
call and talk on the telephone to schedule your appointment (rather
than doing so only by email) so you can get to know one another
prior to meeting; indeed most LBL practitioners will require a phone
conversation with prospective clients prior to scheduling. That way, rapport
has a chance to begin even before you meet. Additionally, Spiritual
Regression practitioners typically desire that prospective clients have had
at least one prior exposure to hypnosis, preferably Past Life Regression,
before an LBL session is scheduled.

The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by cartilaginous defects, including nasal-maxillary cartilages.
A retrospective series of 34 patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and complaints of fatigue and poor sleep were evaluated by clinical history, physical examination, polysomnography (PSG), and, in some cases, anterior rhinomanometry. Additionally, a prospective clinical investigation of nine patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was performed in a specialized Ehlers-Danlos syndrome clinic.
All patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome evaluated had SDB on PSG. In addition to apneas and hypopneas, SDB included flow limitation. With increasing age, flow limitation decreased in favor of apnea and hypopnea events, but clinical complaints were similar independent of the type of PSG finding. In the subgroup of patients who underwent nasal rhinomanometry, increased nasal resistance was increased relative to normative values. Nasal CPAP improved symptoms. Patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome presenting to the medical clinic had symptoms and clinical signs of SDB, but they were never referred for evaluation of SDB.
In patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, abnormal breathing during sleep is commonly unrecognized and is responsible for daytime fatigue and poor sleep. These patients are at particular risk for SDB because of genetically related cartilage defects that lead to the development of facial structures known to cause SDB. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may be a genetic model for OSA because of abnormalities in oral-facial growth. Early recognition of SDB may allow treatment with orthodontics and myofacial reeducation.

The Principles of Biology by Herbert Spencer (1864) looked at biology in terms of themes, such as Function, Adaptation and Variation. In this book Spencer introduced the expression 'survival of the fittest', in the sense of 'the most appropriate to its environment'.
Spencer was a polymath whose work includes writings on religion, economics, literature, biology, sociology, and political theory. He built an understanding of evolution as the progressive development of all creation from simple forms based on homogeneity towards an integrated equilibrium of differentiated forms, against the theories of Darwin. It also worked against the idea that everything moves towards homogeneity rather than heterogeneity (the second law of thermodynamics).
Spencer, against the thinking of Darwin, incorporated into his thinking Lamarckian models – the idea that acquired characteristics could be inherited. These models explained the extraordinarily accelerated development of the human species.
Spencer has been credited with the idea that Darwinian evolution provides a natural justification for the notion that 'might is right'. In fact he believed that the model for economic competition could be found in competition for resources in nature; but competition could be managed for the good of society, so long as it did not lead to increased power for the state. If private charity led to the support for an idle underclass then it was a failure, an idea that when combined with population management, tends towards support for eugenics.

Where I stayed
Got a 5 minute boat trip to Bolivia across the Rio Guapore to Guayaramerin. Again we were sad to leave Brazil. In summary the people there are lovely and friendly, and we saw beautiful places, the highlight would have to be Christ the Redeemer and we both agree that we will come back to Rio again one day.
Arrived in a town called Guayaramerin in the very north of Bolivia, naturally the weather here is as hot as Brazil, so more time for tanning, nice one
Another interesting point about Bolivia is that all the women still dress in the really old fashioned way, long pleated shirts, woollen shawls and bowler hats, really bizzar looking for us, but thats their culture.
