It is reported that New Line Cinema has registered two film titles: 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' and 'The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey'.
It seems that two "The Hobbit" films will not be simply identified with "Part I" and "Part II" or other kinds of number. TheOneRing.net has learned that New Line Cinema recently registered two film titles, which are "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" and "The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey".
"There and Back Again" has been known as an alternate title for the original "Hobbit" novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. The studio has not officially confirmed the titles but they make perfect sense as the names for the movies.
"The Hobbit" is scheduled to start shooting on March 21 for a projected December 2012 release. The second installment, meanwhile, may be released a year later. Peter Jackson has signed up to direct it and Martin Freeman has been cast to play major character Bilbo Baggins.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks a lot, i must admit they feel so good in comparison to my old sloppy Vans Auras but the footprint thing really threw me off a bit as i do have large feet. However it feels good to get some assurance that they aren't all that massive in the end!
|Tatanka Head
|And that Maysis heel hold is amazing. The difference between the Maysis (sz13)footprint and the Ride Hi-Phy (sz12)footprint is less than a cm. Wouldnt make much of a difference. I really liked the Maysis liner, but opted for a Ride boot. Congrats on finding something you like. And a good choice.
Hey TT thanks for your help. I can't believe there are some 12.5 on Craigslist after i just bought some new boots finally in store for many bucks!
To provide an update, i went into Summit in Whistler for the second time and this time got a better less aggressive boot fitter than the one who insisted i ride 11.5 and certainly no larger! Anyway, i ended up trying some 12s with the Superfeet carbon insoles and some serious molding of the intitution liner. I won't lie to you, they are extremely tight and i can;t ride them for a full day yet but i will break them in i am sure.
I went for the K2 Maysis, which as far as i can tell run a bit large anyway, at least the sole does which i didn't realise when i bought them but oh well. I think they are the boot for me and i think all this shrinkage stuff is probably a little overated anyway.
Thanks for all of your input i really appreciate it, it helped so much.
|I heard TT gets his rubbers from Clist.
Luckily for you, I have Magical Craigslist Powers
Rome Folsom SDS, Romes top of the line boot
In a size 12.5
Mens Snowboard Boots: Folsom ROME SDS, 12.5
It says he only used them like 20 times
Now as far as used boots go
You wouldn't want mine after 20 days I put in long days of non stop riding.
I beat the shit out of my boots, my boots after 20 days look absolutely nothing like what this dudes boots look like after 20 days.
These things look like they might have, maybe, 3 or 4 real days in them?
If that?
Buddy could put another 20 days on those boots & I still wouldn't even consider them used.
For $50 bucks(try for $40) You can afford to modify them if you need too
Yikes, probably wise to look again with that going on. I'd be worried going to the mountain with toes going numb.
Are you able to walk around in the store with them on for a period of time? They let me do that last time I bought boots. I was actually walking around with two different brands one on each food while looking at other stuff in the store after a good 10 minutes one foot didn't feel as comfortable as the other.
Thanks Icary but i spoke to soon. I wore them here in the apartment for a bit and they just will not work. I cannot wear them for more than an hour and when i do i get a sharp pain in my left ankle at the back and my little toes go completely numb, i mean dead to the world.
Yes i could grin and bear it and yes they might become bearable but i just don't want to go through days of agony to achieve that.
So i have to size up, which is still half a size smaller than my actual foot size and go to the 13s. The Lasso is sold out in that size now so my only options are as follows:
Flow Rival
Vans Aura
Thirty Two TM Two
Yes i know all boot reviews are subjective and essentially meaningless but if you were to put your two cents in which would you go with?
p.s. i think i might have been a little overzealous with my two finger thing. It turns out i can only get the tips of two fingers in there and when i take the insoles out i spill over all sides of these 12s. I think no amount of breaking in will make them as comfortable as i would like.
If you put my ride lasso on right now (12) on one foot and a (13) on the other you probably wouldn't notice a different.
A footbed will help with your "flat" foot. Also. If you have 2 fingers you have more than enough room. That's what I use everyday fitting people.
Congrats on the sizing thou.
Doesn't hurt to have two boots.
Thanks for that Poutanen very useful stuff.
In the end i went to another shop i have been to many times (like all of the shops in Whistler) and tried on some Vans Revere and Ride Lasso in 12 (30cm). They fit very snuggly but conform to the fit standards you describe i.e. wearable but very snug. Toes almost uncomfortable but with a little give but definetly touching and zero room to go left to right.
In the end i got the Vans Revere and am wearing them right now. I still am not sure that these are the right boots for me in terms of style but i do think they will probably be the right fit eventually. The problem is the Ride Lasso were amazing boots with the heel hold boa system being the real draw. I am not quite sure i can give up on boa systems and am almost in a mind to go back and get the Ride Lasso again. They won't mind i am sure but having already bought and tried the size up and found them to feel to narrow i can't see that it won't happen again with the size down right? You never know though i guess.
I did the full sheel fit thing myself this time and in an athletic stance i could jut about get two fingers into the space behind but really only just. I figure that is promising for the pack out as i assume the shell won't give all that much.
I wish i could wear the 12s in the Ride Lasso and the Vans for a few hours and see how my feet feel after a few hours. Both boots could work i think and i prefer the closure system of the Lasso but i just think the Vans will feel more comfortable in the long run. Not so sure they won't end up as noodles mind.
I am almost there i think though.

Here's how I know a pair are going to fit me well:
- in the store they're SNUG, like borderline painful but with no pressure points/sore spots in particular
- there's minimal heel lift, and minimal side to side motion
- the toes aren't comfy, but aren't being packed like sardines either!
I take them home, and wear them around the house as much as possible before taking them on snow. At LEAST 4-5 hours. First day your foot may get numb after half an hour, just loosen and keep wearing them. I find I can pre-break-in my boots at home so it's not excruciating the first day or two on the hill.

The Office of Admissions performs an initial evaluation of transfer credit after applicants have been admitted. A complete evaluation of transfer credit cannot be made until all official credentials have been received.
The evaluation is made using the official transcripts sent directly to the university from each one of the applicant's previous colleges. Official transcripts exhibit the official seal and signature of the registrar. Transcripts that are marked "student copy," "issued to student," or "unofficial" are not accepted as official. Faxed transcripts are not accepted.
Course work of comparable content and scope to the CU-Boulder curriculum will generally be transferred if it was completed at colleges or universities accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, or other regional associations at the time the work was completed. For international colleges or universities, the international equivalent of regional accreditation or Ministry of Education recognition will be considered. If course work was completed at a school not regionally accredited, the student may specifically request that their course work be considered for transfer. CU-Bouder will utilize the recommendations of American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) when making its decision.
These recommendations include but are not limited to:
Transferability is based on the practices of the leading university, as reported to AACRAO, in the state where the institution is located. CU-Boulder will make the decision on transferability based on the above criteria for institutions within the state of Colorado.
For Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College Level Examination Program, or military credit, refer to the detailed criteria in the corresponding sections.
Only courses taken at a college or university of recognized standing with grades of C- (1.70) or better are accepted for transfer. All transferred courses are recorded on the student's academic record.
Each college and school at CU-Boulder determines:
Credit hours should have been earned no more than 10 years prior to transferring into an undergraduate degree program at the University of Colorado Boulder. Any determination of acceptance of semester credit hours toward the degree based on the content and the age of the credit is made in the college or school dean's office or by the student's major department.
College-level work taken during high school is evaluated in accordance with general guidelines for transfer credit at CU-Boulder. Official college transcripts of work taken must be received in order for transfer credit to be awarded.
The following course work will require additional information before a decision can be made on acceptance for transfer credit.
The following course work will not be accepted for transfer credit and will not count toward a degree at Boulder:
Students who wish to appeal the transferability of course work must write a letter within the first semester after the work is posted on the University of Colorado Boulder record or after receiving notice from the Office of Admissions that the course work was not accepted for transfer credit. The letter must be addressed to the Transfer Credit Department, Office of Admissions and include:
The Admissions Office will re-evaluate the course(s) for which the student is requesting reconsideration in consultation with the appropriate dean or chair. A written response will be delivered to the student in a timely manner once the appropriate faculties have reviewed the course materials, past practices, and the student's specific circumstances.
Course work completed at other campuses in the University of Colorado system will be a part of the student's cumulative university record and will not be considered as transfer credit. However, the applicability of this course work towards specific CU-Boulder degree requirements will be determined solely by CU-Boulder colleges and schools. External transfer credit presented by students to other University of Colorado campuses will be evaluated by CU-Boulder guidelines upon the student's matriculation into a degree program at CU-Boulder.
Transfer students are held to the same residency and degree requirements as students who begin their undergraduate degree program on the Boulder campus. This assumes that transfer credit hours are in courses comparable in level and content to those required for graduation from an undergraduate degree program at the Boulder campus. College or school residency requirements, meaning the number of hours required to be taken as a degree student once admitted on the Boulder campus, are the same for transferring and nontransferring students.
Each college and school determines the maximum number of credits taken through correspondence and online programs that are accepted toward a baccalaureate degree.
College-level work taken during high school is evaluated in accordance with general guidelines for transfer credit at CU-Boulder. College-level work taken concurrently with a high school program may be used to satisfy MAPS requirements. Official college transcripts of work taken must be received for transfer credit to be awarded.
Credit for College Board Advanced Placement examinations cannot be evaluated from college or high school transcripts; score reports from the College Board must be submitted directly to the university for evaluation. For more information, and a guide to equivalencies, refer to Freshman Applicants and the chart in this section or download the PDF at admissions.colorado.edu/undergraduate/admissions/freshman/credit.
Credit for College Board subject examinations of the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) in general biology, general chemistry, general psychology, introductory macroeconomics, introductory microeconomics, introductory sociology, and calculus may be granted for a score at or above the 67th percentile. This credit is applied toward degree requirements at the discretion of the student's dean. Refer to the appropriate dean's office for the policy of that college or school.
Credit for CLEP subject examinations cannot be evaluated from college or high school transcripts; score reports must be submitted directly from the College Board. CLEP general examinations are not accepted for credit at CU-Boulder.
In general, credit is granted for approved IB examinations at the higher level with a score of 4 or better. Credit for IB examinations cannot be evaluated from college or high school transcripts. An IB certificate or diploma must be submitted to the Office of Admissions from the IB organization for evaluation. For more information and a guide to equivalencies, refer to Freshman Applicants.
Credit for military schooling is evaluated upon receipt of Form DD 214, Service Separation Certificate, or the Sailor/Marine American Council on Edwardian Registry Transcript (SMART). Only work that has received an upper-division baccalaureate recommendation by the American Council on Education (ACE) can be awarded credit. This work, however, is transferred and recorded at the lower-division level. Foreign language credit taken through the State Department, Department of Defense, or Defense Language Institute is assigned the recommended ACE credit.
This option provides limited opportunities for students to take an examination and earn credit for a course without registering for or taking the course. Specific courses must be approved for credit by examination. Students may want to exercise this option if they do not receive transfer credit for a course they have taken at a previous college. Information on participating colleges and schools, requirements, and an application for credit by examination are available at the Office of the Registrar, Regent Administrative Center 105, University of Colorado Boulder, 20 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0020, 303-492-6970. Permission of the instructor, the department chair, the dean of the college or school in which the course is offered, and the student's dean (if different) is required for approval. An examination fee is charged.
Many campuses operate on the quarter system, with the academic year divided into three terms. Other campuses, including CU-Boulder, operate on a two-term or semester system. Course credits from quarter system institutions must be converted from quarter hours to semester hours or credits. One quarter credit is equivalent to two-thirds of a semester credit. To convert quarter hours to semester hours, multiply the number of quarter hours by two-thirds and round off the total to the nearest tenth. For example, 4 quarter hours x 2/3 = 2.67 or 2.7 semester hours of credit, or 3 quarter hours x 2/3 = 2 semester hours of credit.

The gripping personal saga of the struggle that led to passage of the No FEAR Act will soon begin film production. No Fear: The Marsha Coleman-Adebayo Story, reveals the venality, racism and corporate greed that infests the Environmental Protection Agency, endangering the lives of millions in the United States and around the globe.
No Fear: The Marsha Coleman Adebayo Story Green Lit for Pre-Production
by Iyanna Jones
Directed by Tylon Washington, the documentary film No Fear: The Marsha Coleman-Adebayo Story has secured the financing and strategic alliances necessary to begin principle photography and pre-production as well as complete post production. After a lengthy process which included securing pre-sale contracts and gap collateral, principle photography is scheduled to commence in January 2014 with a projected completion date of Fall 2014.
About the Film
No Fear is the story of whistle-blower and human rights activist Marsha Coleman Adebayo. In 1996 Coleman Adebayo discovered that a U.S. company was mining vanadium in South Africa and harming the environment, the health of the workers and nearby community residents. Her efforts to conduct an investigation were stifled and she was made a target of personal abuse. On August 18, 2000, a federal jury found the EPA guilty of violating the civil rights of Coleman-Adebayo on the basis of race, sex, color and a hostile work environment, under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Her first book, No Fear: A Whistleblower's Triumph over Corruption and Retaliation at the EPA, was published in September 2011 by Lawrence Hill Books. Actor, producer and director Danny Glover is working on a feature narrative film about Marsha's life.
An amalgam of pictures, video, documents, memorabilia, stock footage and interviews, No Fear's target length is 72 minutes and when completed, will be entered into various film festivals, theater openings before mass production for DVD. Throughout the filming process, subsequent phases will be bought into play once the film is shot, edited and printed, which will include fundraising for festival tours, P&A and the costs of securing a distribution deal.

Water Leak to passenger side floor.
I have a leak to my passenger side floor. I believe my sunroof drainage tube is disconnected. How do I access it? I had the same problem to the rear tube, which was easy to find. Can anyone help me out?
Open your sunroof, now look in the corners, you can see how there is a small opening, that is the drain tube. Use some weed eater line to clean it out . After that get a pitcher of water and test the draining. Should come streaming out just behind front wheel.
And if you have smell issues it is from your back seat. You know that nasty mold smell.
It's your rear drain tubes are plugged. Clear those, then if you have sedan* simply grab center of 1st and 3rd seat (not center seat) and pull up. They pop right out. I found about a 1 1/2 cups of water under my seat.
Re: Water Leak to passenger side floor.
It's not the back seat/trunk, I'm getting copious amounts of water in the front passenger side floor. I have weather tech mats, so I didn't notice the water until I lifted the mats out to clean the carpets. I would say like at least half a liter of water in the front. Do I need to take off the front wheel guard to find if the hose is not plugged in anymore?
That's a lot of water. I would try running the weed eater line through it to see you you can get to the bottom of the hose.
I undid half of the wheel well when I checked and you can find a nipple that is where the water drips from.
Look about the forum for anyone who has done Surgery, because all I did was clear it with the line. If you haven't tried that, I would do it first.
Re: Water Leak to passenger side floor.
Weed eater line...make sure the end of it is not sharp. Smooth it for easy movement thru the drain tubes.
27. Ultraview Sunroof Water Leak in Passenger Floor Area
Try using a turkey baster as a "toilet plunger" and work the drain with water in it. Try the ol' "in and out" routine until it hopefully forces the water and debris out the drain line. Then the light bulb went off. With the drain lines full of water along with the sunroof tray, I put the turkey baster directly on the drain hole and started pumping. I started feeling some resistance and then the clog finally gave way. A perfect stream of water was now flowing onto the driveway at the bottom of wheel well.
Use thick monofilament or weed wacker line to run through the 4 drains. Smooth out the cut end of the line with sandpaper to help it slide through the drains.
Open sunroof.
Front: Take a cup of water and carefully pour into front drain channel to gauge initial drain rate. Use weed wacker line and rod out front drains from roof. The front drain lines run down the "A" pillars and exit out the side (behind the fender) about a foot below the top of the dash, about 3-1/2 feet. Pour more water and observe draining. Run weed wacker line again. Repeat until satisfied. You should notice the run off puddling behind the front wheels and may also observe dirt/sludge/algae that was in the lines.
Rear: The rear drain lines run down the "C" pillars into the trunk and exit out the rear wheelhouses. Peel back the sides of the trunk liner to access the drain lines. The right rear drain line can be seen by removing the battery access cover, but it is difficult to work with unless you peel back the liner. Detach the rear lines from the wheel well grommets and run weed wacker line up the drain lines. The distance from the drain outlet to the sunroof is about 4-1/2 feet. Place the drain line in a bucket or bottle. Carefully pour water into the side drain channels of the sunroof. You may want to have someone pour water in the channels while you observe the flow into the bucket/bottle. Run weed wacker line again. Repeat until satisfied.
All sunroofs leak some water and that leak off is normally handled by the drain lines. IMO this sunroof is a flawed design for two reasons. (1) The fixed portion of the sunroof uses the same type of perimeter seal the moving portion uses and therefore doubles the amount of leak off compared to a standard sunroof; (2) The drain lines are undersized even for a standard sized sunroof. As a result of this, the drain lines, at best, are barely adequate for a light rain. Throw in a little bit of clogging and a more intense rain and we get what we all complain about. After constantly cleaning lines and still living with leaks, I removed my headliner to see if I could resolve this problem. I replaced all four lines with 1/2" I.D. tubing in place of the factory 1/4" I.D. and have had zero leakage even in a total downpour (I live in Florida).
Use 1/2" I.D - 5/8" O.D. clear hose from any hardware store. I considered 3/8", but why not not use the largest size that will fit?
The 4 drain nipples on the corner of the sunroof are 1/2" O.D. There is a grommet on each corner that reduces them to 3/8" O.D. to fit the original drain lines. The clear hose fit perfectly on the sunroof nipples once the reducer was removed. There are clips on the stock hose that keep them in place (2 in the rear and 3 in front - 2 on "A" pillar, 1 under dash). Remove the clips from the stock hose, tape precut lengths of new hose to them (roof side) and then pull the whole thing through the trunk and underdash, respectively. Place a grommet around the front lines and secure the grommet to the existing inner fender holes. The fronts were a pain to get to and you have to slightly enlarge the hole to accomadate the larger grommet. The rears were easy. Secure the new hose to a 1/2" nipple and push it through the existing wheelhouse grommet.
Removing and reinstalling the interior parts (especially the headliner) takes patience and took the longest time, but is not overly difficult. I removed the headliner from my car, but I would recommend leaving it in and trying to work around it. There are two electrical harnesses that are glued to the headliner that I had to remove and then reattach when installing.

The nylon clips clamp around the hose and then push into a body hole with a barbed end. In order to pull the stock hoses out you have to remove these clips. The front hoses have two clips on the "A" pillar that are easily removed. There is a third hose clip that can only be removed by reaching under the dash. The sunroof drains only drain the sunroof.
*Remove the front kick panels (these are the plastic side panels under the dash - to the left of the driver's feet, right of the passenger's feet.
*Remove under dash trim plates - plastic panels under driver and passenger dash area - both have lights that need to be unplugged. Passenger side has airbag control module (I think it was) that needs to be unplugged also.
*Once these panels are removed, reach up and peel back the carpeting from the outer corners. The carpeting has attached insulation and is fairly rigid so takes a little effort to move. On the driver's side there is also a styrofoam wedge (dead pedal) that I found easier to remove and then glue back to the carpeting.
*With a light, look up under the dash to the now exposed side area (I ended up on my back for this part). You should see the drain hose coming down (if you follow the hose up you should now see the third clip) and then going through an access hole and finally plugging into a grommet in the inner fender. Tugging a little on the drain hose from above (while you're lying under the dash) may help to identify what you are looking at.

Zoey has to have her front right leg amputated. A pin came loose inside her from her surgery, and they don't think another surgery will fix anything. I was sooo shocked to hear this news. Please pray for my baby.
I broke my little puppy leg on Sunday jumping over the fence. Now, I have a metal rod and pins holding my front right leg in place. Please pray that I don't get puppy arthritus in it like the vet said I will!!

Wild Wonders
Zooming down the Roaring Rapids at Wet 'N' Wild in Garland circa 1986 did not a river-rafting adventure make. Sure, it might have provided for some drama when your raft got stuck in that one whirlpool and you couldn't get over the ridge for going around and around while people laughed, but it's no Colorado River nestled in the dramatic setting of the Grand Canyon. Thanks to IMAX, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., explorer Wade Davis and tour guide Shana Watahomigie (the first Native American National Park Ranger and river guide), we can feel like we are there in the natural wonder, with the whitewater all around us. The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History's Omni Theater, screens Grand Canyon Adventure: River at Risk through the summer. Tickets are $6 (children and seniors) and $7 (adults).

Add UCLA head coach Jim Mora to the list of people impressed with the change in Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez's game.
The first-year college head coach and former NFL Division winning head coach says he could see the difference in the junior quarterback.
"I don't know if the word is developing or developed. He was really impressive," said Mora. "A lot has been made about whether or not he could take that next step and all indications are he took it, he took a giant leap. He looked really good. He looked comfortable in the pocket, he looked comfortable outside the pocket. He can run the football. He can do everything well."
Martinez threw for five touchdowns against Southern Miss on Saturday, but hardly used his feet, something Mora knows his squad will have to guard against this Saturday.
Mora also revealed his favorite thing about Martinez as a quarterback.
"The thing I love most about him is his competitive spirit," said the former Atlanta Falcons head coach. "The guy just keeps coming and is a fighter. You really respect that in him."

The improbable run to the title started earlier in the day when the Phils battled back from a 1-0 deficit to win the first game of a championship double-header. In Game One, it was also Valle who chipped in with a key, two-run double that gave the Phillies a 2-1 lead.
In the nightcap, starter Reginal Simon started shaky and had to work out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning before he would be able to settle in for the day. Simon was finished after six innings, giving up three hits and a walk. Yohan Flande came on to pitch the seventh inning - both ends of the double-header were seven innings - and allowed a walk, but struck out two to finish off the Nats.
Valle was the star of the series for the Phillies. The 18 year old catcher caught both ends of the double-header and finished the regular season with a .281 average.

String Planet
Novog, a native of Pittsburgh, PA, was playing piano at four and violin at eight before moving to viola. She was a member of the American Youth Symphony and graduated from the California Institute for the Arts. She also got session work (for example, playing the string solo on the Doobie Brothers' "Black Water") and played in pop/rock bands, notably Rebecca & the Sunnybrook Farmers, which released an album on Musicor Records. This group evolved into the trio Chunky, Novi & Ernie, which released a self-titled album on Reprise Records in 1976. In 1978, billing herself simply as "Novi" and playing keyboards, she joined the new wave band Sumner, led by singer Sumner Mering, which released a self-titled album on Elektra/Asylum Records in 1980. After Sumner broke up in 1981, Novog turned primarily to session work in Los Angeles, playing viola and violin and writing string arrangements on records by such artists as Sheila E., the Time, Prince (the string solos on "Purple Rain" and "Raspberry Beret"), Jennifer Warnes, Edie Brickell, Ferron, Air Supply, Amanda McBroom, Christopher Cross, Terence Trent D'Arby, Valerie Carter, Scott Weiland, Michael Feinstein, Marianne Faithfull, Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, Linda Ronstadt, Liz Callaway, Timothy B. Schmit, and Michael Jackson, among many others.
Larry Tuttle grew up in Seattle, where he began playing the string bass at the age of nine. He had extensive training in his youth, including playing principal bass at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, sitting in with the Seattle Symphony, and studying at the University of Washington. He, too, became interested in rock music, however, and turning to the electric bass, he joined a local group, Russia, which eventually moved to Los Angeles and recorded a self-titled album released by Warner Bros. Records in 1980. Staying in Los Angeles after Russia broke up, Tuttle began to do sessions, eventually turning to the 12-stringed Chapman Stick. In 1999, he released an album of Stick solos, Through the Gates.
Novog and Tuttle met when both helped form the instrumental group Freeway Philharmonic, which made four albums, Freeway Philharmonic, Car Tunes, Sonic Detour, and Road to Joy. They were also together in the band SoulSkin, which released a self-titled album in 2003. Then, they pared down their partnership to just the two of them, forming String Planet and issuing a self-titled album in 2004. ~ William Ruhlmann

The Social Security Administration sent $250 stimulus checks to nearly 72,000 beneficiaries who were dead, but more than half the payments have been returned, the agency's inspector general has found. More than 17,000 inmates also received money — but they were entitled to it under the 2009 measure Congress passed.
In all, the agency disbursed $13 billion in economic-recovery payments to 52 million people who receive either Social Security or Supplemental Security Income. The agency said 99.8% of payments were accurate.
The combined total of the erroneous payments — most made by electronic transfers to bank accounts — is $22.3 million. So far, about $12 million hasn't been returned. But the agency says lawmakers didn't include a provision for it to recover funds sent mistakenly. As the Wall Street Journal points out, money may be just sitting in accounts of the dead.
As for inmates, who received a total of $4.3 million, Congress only prohibited payments to people who went to jail in the three months before the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed — from November 2008 through January 2009.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX tumbles as strong US$ weighs on resources
* TSX ends down 135.85 points, or 1.04 pct, at 12,916.63
* Index touches highest level since September 2008
* Nine of 10 main groups lower as investors take profits (Adds details, quotes)
By Jennifer Kwan
TORONTO, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index ended lower on Tuesday after touching a two-year high earlier in the session, as a steep rise by the U.S. dollar helped push commodity prices lower.
Spot gold XAU= soared to a record high for a fourth day running, touching above $1,424 an ounce, but retreated sharply by day's end as the stronger greenback prompted heavy profit-taking by investors. [GOL/]
Barrick Gold (ABX.TO: Quote) sank 0.5 percent to C$51.25, while Yamana Gold (YRI.TO: Quote) dropped 2 percent to C$11.69, helping the TSX's gold subgroup slide 2.7 percent. The broader materials sector, home to miners and fertilizer companies, was down 2.4 percent.
"The market has really been focused the past few days on the metals side of things, particularly as gold made all-time highs again today," said Aaron Fennell, senior market strategist at Lind-Waldock Canada. "But today, it dramatically turned around from that and I think there is a change in perspective."
Gold sank on a firm U.S. currency, which rose in part after being beaten down ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision to pump more money into the struggling U.S. economy, said Fennell. Continued...

Zoonotic diseases & parasite prevention
Zoonotic diseases, or zoonoses, are diseases that can be
transmitted between people and animals, including
wildlife. This means that
if an animal has the disease, it can sometimes infect
humans. Depending on the disease, there are many ways zoonoses can be shared between animals and people, such
Contamination by animal's feces or urine
Bite of an infected animal
Breathing in droplets made when animals cough, sneeze or bark
Physical contact
Through an biting insect or arthropod
(called a vector)
More than half of diseases known to infect human can come from animals1. The most famous zoonotic
disease is rabies, but there are several other ones
present in Los Angeles County (LAC), such as West Nile
virus (WNV), leptospirosis, flea- or tick-transmitted
infections (flea-borne typhus) and parasites commonly found
in dogs and cats (hookworms, roundworms, tapeworms,
(Check out our
Animal Disease Information page for more information
on specific zoonotic diseases).
Facts about zoonotic diseases in LAC:
Although not present in local dog or
cats, rabies in LAC can sometimes be
found in infected bats2
Both WNV and canine heartworm are
transmitted by mosquitoes:
WNV is seen in LAC every
year3 and can infect
people, birds and horses
Heartworm is seen in
some dogs and cats in our county4
but rarely infects
Flea-borne typhus is expanding in our
county5 and is transmitted by fleas from
opossums or cats - Animals do not show
symptoms, but people do
Intestinal parasites, such as roundworm, carried by pets
can cause serious illness in people,
especially children
Salmonella is commonly found in
reptiles and can cause severe
gastrointestinal disease in people
Human behavior can increase the risk of
being infected by zoonotic diseases:
A quarter of pet owners in LAC say they
never use flea/tick preventive for their
More than half say that they
leave food or water outside, which can
attract wildlife7
What can people do to decrease chances of
infection with zoonotic diseases in LAC:
Use proper hygiene
habits - Wash your hands after touching
animals, especially reptiles
Keep your pets up to date on their
vaccines, even if they stay indoors -
Dogs and cats can be attracted to dead
or dying bats that could carry rabies
Talk to your veterinarian about
deworming your pets on a regular basis
Do not leave food or water outside,
because it can attract disease-carrying
Protect yourself against mosquitoes -
This means emptying standing water twice
weekly, wearing long-sleeves, especially
at dusk and dawn and use screens on your windows
What Veterinary Public Health (VPH) and our partners do to
fight zoonotic diseases in LAC:
One of our major focuses is to make
sure we know which zoonoses are present in LAC by
working closely with veterinary partners to increase
reporting of these diseases to our offices.
We also want to make sure that
every pet and pet owner is protected against diseases
transmitted by fleas or ticks, or other animal parasites
by promoting the use of proper pet medications.
Educational campaigns are also an important part of
letting the public know, especially children, about what
else they can do to reduce their chance of getting a zoonotic disease.

Senior defensive end Chris Walker had eight tackles.
Through two games, sophomore cornerback Prentiss Waggner leads the Vols with 13 tackles. He set a new career best with seven tackles.
Senior defensive end Gerald Williams also had seven tackles. First Half Hold
After Oregon put up 59 points in the first half of its season-opening game versus
New Mexico, the Vols' defense held the Ducks to just 13 in the opening two
quarters, including just three allowed in the first frame.

Oracle Embracing the Broader Cloud Landscape
Posted by James Staten on June 24, 2013
- 327 Recommendations

It's easy to accuse Oracle of trying to lock up its customers, as nearly all its marketing focuses on how Oracle on Oracle (on Oracle) delivers the best everything, but today Ellison's company and Microsoft signed a joint partnership that empowers customer choice and ultimately will improve Oracle's relevance in the cloud world.
The Redwood Shores, California software giant signed a key partnership with Microsoft that endorses Oracle on Hyper-V and Windows Azure, which included not just bring-your-own licenses but pay-per-use pricing options. The deal came as part of a Java licensing agreement by Microsoft for Windows Azure, which should help Redmond increase the appeal of its public cloud to a broader developer audience. Forrester's Forrsights Developer Survey Q1 2013 shows that Java and .Net are the #2 and #3 languages used by cloud developers (HTML/Javascript is #1). The Java license does not extend to Microsoft's other products, BTW.
This deal gives Microsoft clear competitive advantages against two of its top rivals as well. It strengthens Hyper-V against VMware vSphere,as Oracle software is only supported on OracleVM and Hyper-V today. It gives Windows Azure near equal position against Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the cloud platform wars, as the fully licensed support covers all Oracle software (customers bring their own licenses), and pay-per-use licenses will be resold by Microsoft for WebLogic Server, Oracle Linux, and the Oracle database. AWS has a similar support relationship with Oracle and resells the middleware, database, and Oracle Enterprise Manager, plus offers RDS for Oracle, a managed database service.
Bring your own license terms aren't ideal in the per-hour world of cloud platforms, so the pay-per-use licensing arrangements are key to Oracle's cloud relevance. While this licensing model is limited today, it opens the door to a more holistic move by Oracle down the line. Certainly Oracle would prefer that customers build and deploy their own Fusion applications on the Oracle Public Cloud, but the company is wisely acknowledging the market momentum behind AWS and Windows Azure and ensuring Oracle presence where its customers are going. These moves are also necessary to combat the widespread use of open source alternatives to Oracle's middleware and database products on these new deployment platforms.
While we can all argue about Oracle's statements made in last week's quarterly earnings call about being the biggest cloud company or having $1B in cloud revenue, it is clearly no longer up for debate as to whether Oracle is embracing the move to cloud. The company is clearly making key moves to cloud-enable its portfolio. Combine today's moves with its SaaS acquisitions, investments in cloud companies and its own platform as a service, and the picture clearly emerges of a company moving aggressively into cloud.
I guess CEO Ellison no longer feels cloud is yesterday's business as usual.
BI implications
Comment from Boris Evelson on Mon, 06/24/2013 - 15:31
really curious to see how this'll affect Oracle and Microsoft relationship as direct BI competitors.
Oracle DOES support its software on VMware
Comment from Eric Horschman (not verified) on Mon, 06/24/2013 - 16:31
It's not correct that Oracle only supports its software on Oracle VM and Hyper-V hypervisors. Oracle has supported their products on VMware vSphere for several years and their policy is documented in Metalink/MOS article 249212.1.
Now "certification" is a different topic, but our customers are successfully running Oracle on VMware and getting support from Oracle.
May not address underlying problem
Comment from Mark Montgomery on Tue, 06/25/2013 - 18:00
While adoption of pay for use could be a big move in business model, and interoperability and ease of use between the two ecosystems should be attractive to many developers and customers, it won't necessarily move the needle on the challenges facing the companies unless of course there is a third, fourth, and/or fifth moving gear hidden from view.
The challenge as I see it is that the collective mass of the enterprise ecosystem is simply too large for the customer and demand base--including physical affordability, relative to emerging choices. We'll see what Steve B has up his sleeves-- it does sound like more than the previous moving of chairs around the office this time--and needs to be, but from my seat including on receiving end of a lot of resumes from incumbents, this is a good start--but challenge is deeper, broader and permanent.
One can't compare these two well, nor do they compare to IBM, SAP or others in many respects, but one thing they all have in common is a very different world emerging than the one any of these execs grew up in--economically and/or technically. At the end of the day--which may be sooner than many think, I think it will require a net downsizing of headcount in enterprise IT-- internally at many customers, externally in vendors, middlemen and influencers.
Regardless of what Wall St., egos, management teams, partners, or even at times customers may prefer, sometimes physics trumps even in the mature enterprise IT industry. In such cases like we now face, voluntarily cannibalizing can be a much smarter move, which this partnership may in part represent--we'll see.
Often is the case when corp cultures have "done it this way" for so long that when faced with a dramatically changing environment, rather than altering course in a rational manner to deal with the real challenge, they just hunker down and do more of what they know well. I think we may have seen this in IBM and Oracle in the past few quarters when they saw sales challenges as a need for a bigger and more efficient sales hammer. That isn't the reality I see or hear, including from some of their own people and customers (with all due respect- significant).
While this may not be what many want to hear, please don't shoot the messenger--that's how it looks from my perch. - MM

There are a ton of roads you could list in CO in addition to the ones they already have. A lot of the forest roads out here could make that list.

text: Saunders takes charge With Dumars' support, Pistons coach grows more assertive, and players climb on board. Chris McCosky / The Detroit News AUBURN HILLS -- It was an odd thing to be asking about a coach in the second year of a four-year contract, especially one who had won a franchise-high 64 games last season. Still, given the way things ended, it seemed like a legitimate question to pose to Pistons president Joe Dumars.


text: Coach saw its North American sales drop a whopping 18% from last year. The leather goods maker tried to play up increases in the mens and footwear businesses, but these are only small parts of the company's overall sales. Coach also noted its international sales were strong with China up 25%. Coach guided down sales expectations for the coming quarters. Coach said its fourth quarter sales would drop 10% and does not expect any more share repurchases.

Tomorrow (in our time zone at least) marks Harry Potter's 29th birthday so I'm starting off the celebration by reliving the Harry Birthday party my cousin Dianne and I threw a couple of years ago, shortly after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I've a million other things to do tonight, so I'm posting an article I wrote for Manila Bulletin (dated 13 August 2007) after the legendary Harry Birthday Party! :)
Warning: extreme fandom alert. Hahaha, I think this is the first time my Harry Potter obsession will actually appear in this blog, so to my newfound book blogger friends, I hope you enjoy reading this!
A Very Harry Birthday
A few years ago, my best friend dragged me to a birthday party thrown in honor of Vic Zhou (of the famous F4). I remember shaking my head in disbelief as the birthday celebrant materialized in the form of a cardboard standee and was mobbed by a roomful of shrieking fangirls. Of course, back then, I had no idea I'd actually top that by throwing a birthday party for a fictional character.
The idea started out innocently enough: my cousin Dianne and I were on a Deathly Hallows high. By high I mean that we had reread the Harry Potter books in preparation for Book 7; theorized intensely about the ending and various other parts of the book for the past seven years; monitored the Internet for any and all Potter-related news and information; showed up at a Deathly Hallows press party in head-to-toe costume as Luna Lovegood and Nymphadora Tonks (made completely from scratch) and beat the living spirits out of the rest of the contenders in the inter-house trivia contest; showed up at ten minutes past 6 am on the morning of the book launch at our favorite bookstore in our custom-made "In Snape We Trust" shirts; and shunned the rest of the world that weekend (conferencing every once in a while after particularly significant chapters) as we voraciously pored over our new books.
After several days of discussing the latest installment in the Harry Potter series, mourning all the character deaths and reliving our favorite scenes, I asked Dianne if she wanted to go out to dinner on the 31st, to celebrate Harry Potter's 27th birthday (note: 27th, because Harry was born on July 31, 1980). Because it was her exam week at med school, we had to postpone the celebration to the closest weekend, and then voila – before we could even think it through, we had decided to throw a birthday party for Harry Potter.
Working like house-elves
It wasn't actually the first time we were throwing a theme party. We've had plenty of experience in that department, as the last parties we'd thrown were of a variety of themes – jetsetter, fiesta, princess, luau, murder mystery. It wasn't even going to be the first Harry Potter party we ever threw, as we already did a couple of birthday parties with that theme, but we've never had so much to prepare for a party in such a short time frame.
Despite our impossible schedules (it was Dianne's exam week in med school, and apart from my full-time job, I was in the thick of preparing for the annual exhibition of the artist's group I'm part of), our fanaticism prevailed. We decided to take on the challenge of throwing a party in honor of Harry Potter.
We decided on a menu consisting of wizard food – actual food from the books – and to transform Dianne's house into Hogwarts, and started planning from there. We had exactly one week to test recipes, prepare the décor, and invite people.
We researched on wizard food (thank God for the people over at the Harry Potter Lexicon) and compiled recipes tried out by other Potter fans all over the world. We had to modify most of the recipes, and even invent our own, because most of the ingredients weren't readily available in the country. Then we had to scour the toy stores for our décor. Just our luck, most of the toy stores were having clearance sales on Halloween items, and so we capitalized on that.
Finally, we had to send the word out about our party. At first we wanted to charge people, since we were shelling out our own money for an all-out party, but in the spirit of fun, we decided to waive the fee for people who came in costume. We spread the word among our friends, their friends, and even random strangers, just so we would have people to celebrate Harry's birthday with, flooding them with text messages, emails, and online announcements.
Meanwhile, as an assortment of replies flowed in (yeses, nos, maybes, and the frequently incredulous "Are you serious?" and "Is this for real?"), we were getting our hands dirty producing a paper sculpture of Harry on his broom, testing out several versions of butterbeer, amassing an incredible amount of sweets for our Honeydukes corner, and creating props for the party.
The last 24 hours before the party were spent cramming bits and pieces for the party (plus a school report Dianne had to turn in the following morning in school): cooking up a storm of food for the wizard feast, and creating several dozen wizard books by hand, making us wish we actually had magical powers to help us with the load of tasks, or time turners to give us more time to prepare.
The hours sped by, and soon we were good to go. At record speed, we had transformed the house into Hogwarts Castle. The dining area served as the Great Hall. We attached some candles to the ceiling with nylon thread, to make them look like they were floating, while the Harry Potter sculpture went under the lamp, hovering above the table. We then layered boxes on top of the dining table for that tiered look, and draped it with an ornate table cloth.
We designated special corners for the different subjects, where we stacked various Hogwarts textbooks and reference materials, and other magical paraphernalia. We had a Divination corner with a crystal ball, tarot cards, and a tea cup with dregs of tea leaves; a Quidditch corner with a local broom, a golden snitch and a beater's club; a Charms corner with various enchanted objects; a Transfiguration area with a chalkboard explaining how to transform a snail into a teacup; a Care of Magical Creatures corner with strange animals (including a blibbering humdinger) and an erumpent horn; a Herbology corner that was an explosion of flowers and greenery; and even a Potions Open Bar (in honor of our favorite character, Severus Snape), with an assortment of drinks for guests to blend their own brew.
"Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak!"
And so the party began. Guests started coming in at around half-past seven, Harry Potter fans of varying degrees – those who've only seen the movies, to those who've read some of the books, those who just finished the whole series, and even a fans as hardcore as we were.
Surprisingly, there were more people in costume than we had anticipated, and we were able to put together an ensemble of Hogwarts students, Harry Potter, Professor Snape, Professor Trelawney, Dolores Umbridge, Bellatrix Lestrange, Rita Skeeter, a veela, a golden snitch, and a handful of muggles. A couple of guests even had special Dumbledore's Army shirts to sell at the party!
Wizards, magical creatures, enchanted objects, and muggles alike enjoyed the sumptuous dinner we had prepared – Herbology salad, shepherd's pie, stoat sandwiches (made of ham), chicken sandwiches, pasta with Molly Weasley's Bechamel sauce, crackers with cheese and dips, and pumpkin pasties, and a golden snitch birthday cake. For dessert, we had a Honeydukes corner crammed with goodies – chocolate frogs, cockroach clusters, cauldron cakes, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, acid pops, lemon drops, jelly slugs, leprechaun gold coins, Drooble's Best-Blowing Gum, and Nosebleed Nougats.
We prepared a scrapbook for the guests to fill in with their thoughts about all things Harry Potter such as their favorite characters, favorite moments, best villains, and even proposed alternate endings, sparking spirited debates all over the party. Bertie Botts Beans were sampled among the guests, producing a range of reactions from sheer delight to utter disgust. Then we set off on the Horcrux Hunt, where the guests searched for the seven horcurxes hidden all over the party area. Guests turned the place inside out, and Bellatrix Lestrange tied with a Slytherin student for the top prizes.
We then gathered around the golden snitch cake to sing Harry a Happy Birthday song, and one of the guests (who was really celebrating her birthday that night) blew out the candles. Several rounds of specially brewed butterbeers and about a gazillion pictures later, the happy guests went home with the latest issue of The Quibbler, with their souvenir photos on the front page.
As we herded out the last of the party stragglers and collapsed on the couch, Dianne and I couldn't help but look back on the seven years we'd spent reading Harry Potter, from the time we imagined we went to high school at Hogwarts and assigned professors and wizard subjects to our daily class schedule, to the release of the very last book, when we really pulled out all the stops in celebration of the whole series. We couldn't help but feel that it really was the end — the end of the books we had grown up on and loved so much, and the end of an era that had shaped much of our adolescent lives. The end… until our next Harry Potter party, that is.
Harry Halloween, anyone?
***end of article***
I can't believe it's already been two years since the party!
There is no grand celebration for us this year (perhaps we'll get matching margaritas and drink to Harry… and Snape, hehe), but the day is just as special as it has always been for us ever since we started reading Harry Potter. Dianne and I plan to top this one, perhaps in a few years. After all, the fanaticism hasn't waned, and perhaps it's even stronger, as we've both been collecting Harry Potter international editions since last year.
This post is the first of a series of Harry Potter blog entries in celebration of July 31, so watch out for two more coming up soon. I will be giving away a new, hardbound Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Bloomsbury children's edition in one of the next posts, so come back soon to qualify for the giveaway!

E36 Rough Cold Start and bad O2 sensors
Car will start but runs very rough until warm. Large amount of blue smoke on initial start up. How much effect does bad O2 sensors have during cold weather start up (30-40 degrees F)? Car has had history of very small head gasket leak, which has caused the O2 sensors to fail. Do not want to change O2 sensors (again) until I am certain head gasket leak is resolved. (Not trying to get into a big head gasket discussion. I checked compression with very good results, not mixing fluids, no overheating, used approximately 12oz or less of anitfreeze during last 2500 miles. Please no comments about head gasket.) Just would like to know if there is some other major reason car would run so bad at cold start up. Blue smoke may occur with warm start up but car does not run rough unless cold weather. Replaced spark plugs with correct BMW plugs recommended by BMW mechanic. Blue smoke stopped on start up for about 2 weeks. Changed the plugs before cold weather become a issue, so not sure what effect plugs had on cold weather start.:rolleyes:
well, without mentioning the headgasket....:eeps:
blue smoke is an indication of burning oil, which points to either valve seals or rings. either way, the oil burning will also kill the o2 sensors.
Thanks for the reply
I'd check the gasket that sits between the block, and the part of the engine where the valves hang out. I forget what that part is called though.
The intake and exhaust manifolds bolt onto it. :dunno:

'House of horrors' stuns Austrians
Children locked away, police say
AMSTETTEN, Austria - For years, the children locked in the basement never saw the light of day.
A retired electrician has confessed to imprisoning his daughter for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, police said yesterday. The daughter and some of her children lived in a windowless cell sealed by an electronic keyless-entry system, police said.
One of the children died in infancy and was tossed into the furnace of what stunned Austrians have labeled a "house of horrors," officials said. The suspect owned the gray stone apartment building, lived there with his family, and rented the other units to relatives.
Austria is still scandalized by a 2006 case involving a girl who was kidnapped and imprisoned in a basement outside Vienna for more than eight years, and residents of this working class town west of the capital were puzzled as to how the latest instance could go undetected for so long.
Questions were being raised as to how the suspect - identified as Josef Fritzl, 73 - deceived neighbors, social workers, and police for so long.
"How is it possible that no one knew anything for 24 years?" asked Anita Fabian, a teacher in Amstetten. "This was not possible without accomplices."
Fritzl was placed in pretrial detention and faces up to 15 years in prison if charged, tried, and convicted on rape charges, the most grave of his alleged offenses under Austrian law.
Police released Fritzl's full name and photograph at a news conference yesterday, after his identity was widely reported by media in Austria and elsewhere in Europe.
Fritzl's daughter, now 42, was 18 when she was imprisoned in the cell constructed deep beneath the family's apartment in the building, said Franz Polzer, head of the Lower Austrian Bureau of Criminal Affairs.
"He admitted that he locked his daughter . . . in the cellar, that he repeatedly had sex with her, and that he is the father of her seven children," Polzer told The Associated Press.
According to police, the daughter said she gave birth to twins in 1996 but one died several days later.
Police said the surviving children are three boys and three girls, the youngest of whom is 5. The oldest child is 19. DNA tests were expected to determine whether Fritzl is the father of the children, as he says.
Investigators said they were trying to determine how the victims could have been hidden away for so long from other families in the building and everyone else in the town of 23,000 people.
Fritzl "managed to deceive everyone," including his wife, Rosemarie, who apparently was unaware of the existence of the children in the cellar, Polzer said.
Fritzl had seven other children with Rosemarie, police said.
Officials said three of the secret children - ages 19, 18, and 5 - "never saw sunlight" until they were freed a few days ago.
Polzer told reporters that Fritzl was an authoritarian who took care never to allow anyone near the cellar. Hans-Heinz Lenze, a senior local official, said investigators were trying to figure out if anything could have been heard beyond the cell's padded, reinforced concrete walls.
Polzer said investigators believe Fritzl acted alone, but he appealed to the public to come forward with information.
The daughter had been missing since 1984, and authorities said her father had concocted a story that she had joined a cult and disappeared. She was found by police in Amstetten on Saturday evening after police received a tip. Police released several photos showing parts of the cramped basement cell, with a gaily decorated small bathroom and a narrow passageway leading to a tiny bedroom. Investigators said the keyless-entry system apparently kept the daughter from escaping.
Three of the children lived with the grandparents and were registered with authorities. Fritzl and his wife registered those children with authorities, saying that they had found them outside their home in 1993, 1994, and 1997, at least one with a note from the daughter saying she could not care for the child.
Authorities said the other members of Fritzl's family, including his wife, were under psychiatric care in an undisclosed location.
Lenze said the 5-year-old, a boy, appeared "cheerful."
"Of course, they are very pale," he added.
The discoveries recalled the case from summer 2006, when Natascha Kampusch escaped after being largely confined to a tiny underground dungeon in a Vienna suburb for more than eight years.
Kampusch was 10 when she was kidnapped in Vienna on her way to school in 1998. Her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil, threw himself in front of a train hours after her escape.
Kampusch, now 20, issued a statement yesterday saying she wanted to contact Fritzl's daughter to offer emotional and financial help.

Mine comes from a comment I made during a debate about Christians carrying guns on a political forum I used to frequent. Somebody made a flippant comment about Jesus saying "Blessed are the Peace makers," so I joked about how the Colt Peacemaker was a cool gun, but I wouldn't call it blessed.

Back in 1968 as a rookie I was schooled on how to conduct business and survive on the street from a bunch of old and expierenced cops.

I know its a "long shot", but I am hoping that someone hunting in the tidewater area will see this post and may have an opportunity to join a group or club for duck hunting.
I have been hunting on the Pamunkey river for about 15 years and the group I was with was outbid on the lease this year.
I have plenty of gear and boat for hunting big water and a floating blind to share as well as opportunity to join me in Pheasant hunting in Virginia.
I am in Newport News and hope to find something within about 1 hour of there.

After School Tutorials
As part of Team Walker's emphasis on education, children from Jersey City can take advantage of after-school tutoring and study hall sessions. Demonstrating that children can blend academics with recreation and improved life skills, Team Walker tutors work to assist children in academic disciplines and supplement their classroom instruction.
The Team Walker After School Program
At The Team Walker After School Program, focus is placed on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programming. Activities and lesson plans are designed that promote critical and creative thinking skills as well as provide students access to the fields of education that are shaping our society. One exciting aspect of this program is a STEM live Video Link with NASA every week during the school year at our learning center.
Our goal is to create positive members of society. Aside from strict academics, we give attention to the entire student. We encourage cross-cultural awareness, promote self-esteem, and endorse respect of one's self and others. To be effective in this task we believe family member involvement is critical and provide monthly family member workshops to facilitate participation. We also provide opportunities for student participants to explore and learn through exciting programming and field trips. Past trips have included: Dorney Park, the NJ Nets, Solomon Smith-Barney trading floor, PSE&G Power plant, Columbia University, The Newark Museum, The Malcom Pray Achievement Center, America's Grow-A-Row, Liberty Science Center and The Museum of Natural History.
The Team Walker After School Program operates during the academic school year and is open to both boys and girls, grades 4 -10. Additionally, plans have been put in place to provide assistance to younger children. We currently accept students from the following schools: PS22, PS3, PS15, PS17, MS4, Dr. Lena Edwards Academic Charter School, Jersey City Community Charter School and Lincoln High School.
After School Recreation
Each afternoon, Mon to Fri, Team Walker supervises open gym activities at PS 22 School in Jersey City. Additionally, from 3-7 pm, grade school children are able to play pick-up basketball and enjoy the opportunity to burn some energy after a busy day in the classroom.
One of the most visible groups in Jersey City, The Team Walker Steppers provide young girls with the opportunity to develop dance and step skills while learning the value of discipline and teamwork. The steppers practice and perform year-round, and can be seen at parades, children's parties and the annual Team Walker Holiday Party. Academic criteria must be met to participate in the squad, with uniforms provided to each of the girls
One of our newest programs is a drama class for interested young boys and girls, tapping into the creative side of our children.
We also recently created a girls basketball team for the young ladies.
One program that combines both education and recreation is the free farmers market offered to the Team Walker community on Saturday mornings. In partnership with America's Grow-A-Row, our children have the experience of visiting a working farm where they can pick vegetables and learn about farming. The product from this farm is then offered at our farmers market.
Summer Camp
Team Walker offers two summer camp experiences. One allows children to have summer fun in a safe, friendly environment. The second is our STEM summer camp offered at the Team Walker Learning Center. This camp provides an opportunity for children to continue the learning experience during the summer months.
Beginning in the month of July, children take to the outdoor courts of Dr. Lena Edwards Park for neighborhood basketball competition. Grammar school, junior varsity and senior varsity leagues compete to make the playoffs, with trophies going to the winners.

Team Walker Holiday Party 2016
Over 200 youngsters took part in the annual Team Walker Holiday Party at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City on December 23rd.
It was called the "best Team Walker party ever" as the young people had pizza, juice, fruit and cupcake to start the event and then
spent a couple of hours touring the Science Center with special programming. The event ended with a trio of carolers, a goody bag
of candy to take home plus a gift and a Team Walker hoody.
It is always fun to see Team Walker founder Jerry Walker leading the group with Christmas carols and the Team Walker dancers' performance a special holiday dance. Special thanks to the Team Walker Board and the sponsors who supported the event.

15th Annual Evening of Dreams 10/6/16
The evening's dream team included Bob Ley, ESPN broadcaster, who once again returned as master of
ceremonies. "We are here tonight to support Jerry Walker, who truly embodies the concept of servant-
leadership," said Ley. "Although we are grateful for your support, it's the kids who are the dream."
And the stars. This year's Team Walker Student-Star was 11-year- old Gevonda Hagooda, a 6 th grader at
Jersey City Middle School #4 whose favorite subject is math. She wants to work with money and possibly
own a bank someday. That's after majoring in business and playing basketball for her dream school,
UConn. "Team Walker has taught me 'dedication, determination and discipline.' Team Walker has given
us hope. And that's what we need in today's world. Thank you Team Walker for providing a place where
kids like me feel at home."
In addition to a record number of attendees - 275 - a bold fundraising initiative was introduced by the event's Hero Award Recipient, Phil McGovern, Jr., partner of the law firm Connell Foley and chairman of the board of St. Peter's Preparatory School in Jersey City.
" 'Take one for the team' and pledge $1500/year which is the cost to sponsor one Team Walker student for a year," challenged McGovern.
"Most people think Team Walker is about athletics," said Jerry Walker. "But we are really about academics. We focus on education because that's what gets you out of the poverty cycle. My philosophy is to dream big and live by the 3-D's—dedication, determination and discipline. With those 3-D's you can achieve your dreams."
Other award recipients included Thomas Coughlin, CEO and President of BCB Community Bank as the Pop Curry Award winner. Deeply rooted in the culture and people of local communities, BCB Bank provided $15,000 for the opening day of Team Walker's summer program. Coughlin spoke of the faces of Team Walker kids that light up with the chance of a future. "We should be reaching into our pockets to capture these kids so they don't get lost in the system."
Kevin Willard, Seton Hall University's men's basketball coach who guided the Pirates to the 2016 Big East Tournament crown, received the service award. "Team Walker is an amazing, amazing foundation," said Willard. "Kids are our future and time is your most valuable asset. If you can give your time, become a mentor to these kids. Most people have no idea what they are trying to overcome."
Rounding out the evening's honorees was Star Teacher Oluwakemi Oladosu, who said, "Jerry Walker, you changed my life. Team Walker gave me the opportunity to serve children first as an intern and now as a teacher."

It was not surprising that Miss Hope-Nicholson shortened her first name to M-J, christened as she was, Marie-Jaqueline, Dorothea, Beatrice, Alexina, Romaine, Adriana. Her decision reflected the future editor's outspoken, forthright manner, possibly a reaction against her deeply eccentric family. Her father, Hedley Hope-Nicholson, was heir to a raincoat fortune and head of the Carolean Society; he was obsessed with Charles I and kept a relic from the King's coffin – and a piece of the shirt he wore on the scaffold – in a box in the consecrated chapel in their London family at More House in Tite Street.
