The opinion of the court was delivered by: Zazzali, J.
ON CERTIFICATION TO Appellate Division, Superior Court
Argued February 14, 2001
On certification to the Superior Court, Appellate Division.
This employment dispute requires us to decide whether plaintiffs presented sufficient evidence to establish the existence of individual agreements with defendant and, if so, whether those individual agreements were superseded by a collective agreement.
Plaintiffs, seven tenured Rutgers University-Newark faculty members, allege that defendant Rutgers University unilaterally changed their employment status from calendar-year appointments to academic-year appointments in breach of their individual agreements. The Appellate Division held that the professors did not provide sufficient evidence of individual agreements and, even if they had, the collective agreement generally would prevail over any individual agreements. The court also concluded that the dispute was a matter of managerial prerogative, such that it could be resolved only through non-binding advisory arbitration under the collective agreement. We disagree, and therefore reverse and remand.
Plaintiffs, seven tenured members of the Rutgers University- Newark Faculty of Arts and Sciences, allege that defendant University unilaterally changed their employment status from calendar-year (CY) appointments to academic-year (AY) appointments in breach of their individual agreements. The alleged individual agreements are independent of the collective negotiations agreement negotiated between defendant and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) that governs the terms and conditions of employment of University faculty members.*fn1
By 1991, each plaintiff had held a CY appointment for at least twenty years. A CY appointment, under the collective agreement, means that the faculty member is "expected to" devote the entire year to his or her University duties with the exception of a one-month vacation. An AY appointment, in contrast, "requires" the faculty member to be in attendance from September 1 to the date of commencement. Defendant and the AAUP negotiated two separate salary schedules for AY and CY appointees, with CY appointees receiving more favorable pay.
In March 1992, David Hosford, Dean of Rutgers-Newark's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, advised plaintiffs that, unless they maintained sufficient duties to satisfy CY criteria, i.e., duties that occupy their time for eleven months of the year, their appointments would be changed to AY status effective July 1992. Plaintiffs objected, arguing that their CY appointments were made without conditions attached to those appointments, such that they had no obligation to perform specific duties beyond the academic year. Plaintiffs contended at that time, and assert here, that defendant elected to "grandfather" their appointments so as to exclude them from any requirement that they work beyond the academic year.
In support of their argument, plaintiffs point to, among other proofs: (1) the deposition of George Horton, a professor and former AAUP representative, who testified that University officials intended to grandfather the appointment status of CY appointees during Union negotiations with defendant in the early 1970s; (2) the deposition of Wells Keddie, a former AAUP President, who testified that the AAUP and defendant had an unwritten understanding that although the University discussed ending the practice of making "unconditional" CY appointments, existing CY appointees would be grandfathered from any changes; (3) the appointment history of other University faculty members indicating that defendant unsuccessfully attempted to alter their CY appointments to AY appointments, presumably because of the agreement to grandfather unconditional CY appointees; and (4) the appointment history of each of the seven plaintiffs, including evidence that suggests in part that defendant was aware that plaintiffs maintained CY appointment status even though they at times did not devote the entire year to University duties.
Further, plaintiffs argue that a July 1984 memorandum from T. Alexander Pond, then Executive Vice President of Rutgers University, established a policy that insulated CY appointees such as plaintiffs from any changes to the conditions of employment of faculty members. That memo (the Pond Memorandum) was addressed to Provosts and Deans and states:
The University Senate recently considered the question of calendar year appointments and provided the President with advice that formalized in writing what has essentially been our practice for some time in regard to such appointments. That advice was reviewed by the Board of Governors.
Set forth below is the statement regulating calendar year appointments which was adopted by the Senate and which I am now promulgating as the University's policy in regard to calendar year faculty appointments:
1. All persons initially appointed and/or tenured on calendar year appointments without conditions attached to those appointments shall continue to hold those appointments, unless an entire class of said appointments is reduced.
2. No further calendar year appointments without specific written conditions shall be made.
3. Non-administrative calendar year appointments shall be made only in instances where the special circumstances of the faculty member's academic work require her/his presence on campus (or usual place of work), on a year- long basis.
4. When the conditions which led to the new calendar year appointment no longer apply, the appointment shall revert to an academic year appointment.
Please note that point number 1. above should not be construed to mean that initial appointment on a calendar year basis without conditions eliminates the obligation of a faculty member to be engaged in his or her professional duties at the University during the full term of his or her appointment, nor should it be construed to mean that a faculty member and his or her chairperson and dean cannot agree to reduce an appointment from calendar year to academic year. In regard to point number 2., the specific written conditions should be understood to refer to an explicit statement of the professional responsibilities entailed by the calendar year appointment. [(Second emphasis added).]
Plaintiffs filed a grievance in May 1992 through the AAUP, pursuant to the collective agreement. Parenthetically, we note that the grievance procedure delineated under this collective agreement is different from similar procedures contained in private-sector collective bargaining agreements covering, for instance, factory workers or construction workers. Nor is this grievance procedure typical of that contained in most collective agreements in the public sector, such as those covering police officers, fire officers, or K-12 teachers. The standard grievance procedure in those agreements usually consists of a few paragraphs. The intricate grievance procedure in this collective agreement consumes twenty-three single-spaced pages of the fifty- three page contract.
The agreement states that either the AAUP or a faculty member can file a grievance. The grievance procedure begins at "Step One," in which University personnel conduct their own investigation resulting in a written response to the grievant. If dissatisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Step One, the AAUP or the grievant ordinarily has thirty working days from the receipt of the Step One decision to appeal the grievance to "Step Two," which is arbitration.
Here, the AAUP, on behalf of plaintiffs, started Step One of the grievance procedure by alleging in a letter to defendant that its unilateral change of plaintiffs' appointments was a violation of the collective agreement and University regulations and policies. In an August 1992 memorandum, the University's Assistant Vice President for Faculty Affairs denied the grievance, stating in part that "[t]he seven grievants were the only FAS faculty who were performing academic year assignments while being paid for calendar year appointments. All other calendar year appointees, regardless of age, have calendar year assignments."
In October 1992, the AAUP appealed that denial to Step Two arbitration. Plaintiffs argued that the dispute was a "Category One" grievance under the collective agreement; defendant argued that it was a "Category Two" grievance. A Category One grievance alleges that the University violated mandatorily-negotiable terms and conditions in the collective agreement. A Category Two grievance generally does not involve a violation of the collective agreement itself, but instead alleges that the University violated policies, other agreements, or regulations affecting mandatorily-negotiable terms. Unlike a Category One grievance that is resolved in binding arbitration, a Category Two grievance is resolved by "advisory arbitration," in which an arbitrator issues an advisory recommendation to the Office of the President, who is charged with issuing a final and binding determination. Article XXII of the collective agreement defines AY and CY appointments and states that grievances under that Article are Category Two grievances.
In March 1994, the arbitrator concluded that the dispute fell under Article XXII of the collective agreement and thus was properly characterized as a Category Two grievance subject only to advisory arbitration. Plaintiffs decided not to pursue advisory arbitration.
In the meantime, plaintiffs had instituted an action against the University in December 1992 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging age discrimination, 29 U.S.C.A. § 621, violations of due process rights, and common-law breach of contract. In 1995, the Honorable William G. Bassler, U.S.D.J., granted defendant's motion for summary judgment on the discrimination and due process claims. In denying summary judgment on the breach of contract claim, the court observed:
A genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether there was a contract preventing reversion of historic calendar year appointments to academic year appointments. A reasonable jury provided with the plain language of the [collective agreement], the 1984 policy statement, the evidence of Rutgers' response to prior challenges to the "historical" calendar year appointments and the testimony of Keddie and Horton regarding the unwritten agreement could find for either party. Consequently, summary judgment on this issue is denied.
Nevertheless, the court dismissed the breach of contract claim without prejudice, citing an insufficient basis to exercise pendent jurisdiction. The Third Circuit affirmed. Troy v. Rutgers, The State Univ., No. 95-5805 (3d Cir. June 5, 1996).
Plaintiffs filed this breach of contract action in the Law Division in October 1996. Plaintiffs and defendant filed summary judgment motions, both of which were denied. Defendant then filed a motion for leave to file an interlocutory appeal with the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division denied defendant's motion without prejudice and remanded the matter to the Law Division for a statement of reasons underlying its decision. In response, the motion court stated that there were a number of material facts at issue, including whether these plaintiffs were "grandfathered" into calendar year appointments (defendant maintaining such wording was never included in the AAUP agreement; plaintiffs submitting deposition testimony that the acts and conduct of Rutgers supports their position).
A fact finder must determine whether or not the acts and conduct of the defendant created a binding agreement between the parties and if not a determination as to whether or not the defendant had the right to terminate the status of the seven plaintiffs from a calendar term to an academic term along with justifiable reasons which would include a question as to whether or not these seven plaintiffs constituted an entire class. There is also conflicting certification facts and deposition testimony as to what the agreement was with regard to the work, as to where and how these plaintiffs were to spend the summer months. A reasonable jury must make a determination. The [c]court cannot as a matter of law rule in either direction and thus both plaintiffs' motion and defendant's motion are denied.
Defendant subsequently filed a second motion for interlocutory review with the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division denied defendant's motion, but remanded the matter to the Law Division for disposition of defendant's argument that the alleged individual agreements were superseded by the collective agreement. Accordingly, on remand, the motion court concluded that there was a fact issue concerning whether plaintiffs were grandfathered into unconditional calendar-year appointments and exempt from any conflicting provisions under the collective agreement. Defendant then filed a renewed motion for leave to appeal with the Appellate Division. The Appellate Division granted that motion.
The Appellate Division held that plaintiffs did not have individual contract rights and that any other rights asserted were to be governed by the collective agreement. The Appellate Division was not persuaded that the testimony of Horton and Keddie, the individual employment histories of plaintiffs, or the Pond memorandum created a contract right. Rather, the court held that the collective agreement and University regulations fully described the obligations of a CY appointee and that the collective agreement thus superseded any separate agreements between plaintiffs and defendant. The court also concluded that the matter was one of managerial prerogative subject to advisory arbitration under the collective ...

Ribbon Salad
Recipe by Kovie
This is a beautiful stripped salad. Jello colors can be changed if using for bridal shower or to fit the season. Prep time does not include time for setting up of each layer.
Top Review by gemgal
FESTIVE & IMPRESSIVE TO SEE!! Too bad there is no picture. My mom and then I for many years made this for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Alternate the colors with orange on top for Thanksgiving and red or green on top for Christmas. Pull back a little on the water for firmer layers and use measuring cup for exact thickness in layers. Cool jello and drizzle so as not to dig up existing layers in serving dish. It's really not difficult. I just takes common sense. I've even made it with 2 colors and 1 white layer in the middle. It is fun. Kids love all the pretty colors and it tastes yummy! This is definitely a do ahead recipe, not the day you need it. The glass dish really shows off the colored layers alternated with the creamy white layers. When I was 1st married I made this for our Thanksgiving feast every year and my sister-in-law was jealous as hell and "tried" to copy. She was too proud to ask for the recipe, nor did she want it. Make this jello, you'll be glad you did. The second time you make it, it gets easier and easier. It's been a while- I'll make it and take a picture. Thanks for submitting Kovie.

When Belinda Carlisle sang "what a drag it is getting old" during the Go-Go's' spiky take on the Rolling Stones' "Mother's Little Helper" at the Greek Theatre on Wednesday, Jane Wiedlin countered that it really wasn't so bad. "Not when you get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a rock in your honor and (induction) in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame – oh yeah, we're still waiting for that one," quipped the always jovial singer/guitarist.
The pioneering all-female pop/rock band first became eligible for the hall in 2006, but the quintet received its star at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Cherokee Avenue just last week. And although the Go-Go's haven't put out any new music since 2001's solid, overlooked album God Bless the Go-Go's, there has been quite a bit of activity lately.
Last year, Carlisle released her compelling autobiography Lips Unsealed: A Memoir, a must-read for all Go-Go's fans. And this past spring, the group marked the 30th anniversary of its classic debut Beauty and the Beat (Capitol/I.R.S.) with a new remastered CD and digital edition, featuring a previously unreleased 1981 concert from Boston's Metro. The scrappy club show was especially memorable for an early version of "Vacation" containing a different arrangement and lyrics.
Unlike many early '80s productions, Beauty and the Beat doesn't sound too dated; the latest version, also available on limited-edition pink vinyl, is particularly crisp. Split-channel harmonies on "Tonite," beefy drum work throughout "We Got the Beat" and staccato guitars amid "This Town" stand out more than ever.
Earlier on Wednesday, teenage girl band Little Kids Rock performed a short set at a private ceremony for the Go-Go's' induction into the Greek's new Rock Walk area. The plaque display helped commemorate the debut disc and '81 tour, which led to three sold-out concerts at the venue. General Manager Rena Wasserman called the Go-Go's "an indelible part of Greek Theatre history" because of their multiple live appearances over the years.
Los Angeles City Councilman Tom LaBonge presented the musicians with an official proclamation of "Go-Go's Day" from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and also pointed out that guitarist Charlotte Caffey is a Los Feliz resident. Wiedlin said this year was "unbelievable … we are so proud to be associated with this venue" and jokingly invited everyone to Caffey's house.
Later in the evening, the sold-out, 75-minute Go-Go's homecoming show was a total blast. Fans were definitely in party mode: many danced in the aisles and every song got a wildly enthusiastic response.
The band playfully pranced onstage to Foreigner's "Hot Blooded." A bleach-blond (or was that naturally white?) Wiedlin briefly sang along until they launched the set with an effervescent "Vacation." The svelte Carlisle, clad in a black glittery top and black pants, looked resplendent as ever. Kathy Valentine's shimmering silver bass guitar also gleamed brightly.
Nearly half of the vibrant set was devoted to Beauty material. The jaunty "How Much More" had people bopping right along. Typically, I find it distracting when groups shoehorn their members' solo hits into a set (see the Eagles), but not so with Carlisle's "Mad About You," revamped into a raucous Go-Go's-geared arrangement with chugging guitars. Here and on the regal keyboard-heavy drama of "Automatic," Carlisle's mature vocal purr was in fine form.
She let the crowd take over various lines on the not-very-taxing "Lust to Love" while Wiedlin and Caffey handled the soaring harmonies. Some concert-goers in the front section were invited up to shimmy alongside the band during their frequent cover of the Capitols' "Cool Jerk." At the end, Carlisle, seemingly uncomfortable with personal interaction, semi-sarcastically asked: "Can we invite the other half of the audience onstage now?"
Caffey's sudden icy synth sounds on the giddy "Cool Places," Wiedlin's minor 1983 hit with Sparks, made for an abrupt change. Wiedlin bounded across the stage as she sang lead, with Carlisle handling the counterpoint lines.
"We love this town so much! We're a Hollywood band that has existed in five decades," Wiedlin enthused before the haunting "This Town." Both that and "Our Lips Are Sealed" were played with slower tempos; the latter tune also had an extended intro and outro.
Most of the usual good-natured bantering between the ladies came during encore time. That's when drummer Gina Schock introduced all members and told the crowd it was their singer's birthday (she looks good for 53). Then Carlisle's teenage son James Mason brought out a small cake and everyone sang to her. Wiedlin reappeared onstage wearing a white dreadlock wig that looked like Perry Farrell circa '87.
But the final stretch of this shorter-than-expected show was where they really strutted their stuff. Caffey's and Wiedlin's surf guitar licks on "Skidmarks on My Heart" and "Beatnik Beach" and Schock's martial rhythm for "We Got the Beat," plus everyone kicking out the jams on "Head Over Heels," were all powerful and tight.

How to remember the late and great Thin White Duke? David Bowie left us January 10th after battling cancer. But he will forever be in our hearts as the iconic, magnificent, and agelessly cool master of reinvention. David Bowie's genius changed music, challenged popular culture and dared us to be different. A chameleon, a non-conformist and a beautiful soul with translucent skin, great bone structure, mesmerizing heterochromic eyes and a soul-stirring voice.
Credit: mxdwn
Let's remember David Bowie for his genius, his influence, his strangeness. Here's our 10 fave David Bowie songs. Listen to them now.
1. Space Oddity, 1969. David Bowie's first hit blew the minds of audiences world-wide and put Bowie on the map in a big way- an intergalactic map as it were.
2. Let's Dance, 1983 . Put on your red shoes and dance the blues with our alien crooner.
3. Ziggy Stardust, 1972. This song will go down in musical history for its influence and power.
Credit: Victoria and Albert Museum
4. Heroes, 1977. While this gorgeous song did not do remarkably well when it was released, it will be remembered as one of his masterpieces.
5. Sufragette City, 1972. Rock out to this impossibly catchy and relentlessly fun diddy.
Credit: Fact Mag
6. Rebel Rebel, 1974. The guitar rift in this song is drool-worthy. Put on some glitter and jam to this Glam Rock anthem. I think we can agree, he showed The Rolling Stones who was boss with this one.
7. Fame, 1975. This was Bowie's first number 1 single in the USA and was co-written with John Lennon.
Credit: Roger Ebert
8. Golden Years, 1976. Get your disco on with this dance hall fave.
9. Changes, 1971. Stutter along to this masterful chorus. This song, perhaps better than any other Bowie songs, personifies the chameleon rock legend.
10. Young Americans, 1975. Let your feet fly to this pounding piano while the back-up soul singers give it their best.
Credit: WDR
Let's not forget David's memorable movies! Check these gem performances out.
1. David Bowie was amazing in Jim Henson's Labyrinth as Jareth, the Goblin King.
Credit: Buzzfeed
2. David is convincing as alien, Thomas Jerome Newton, in The Man Who Fell to Earth, 1976.
3. Zoolander, 2001 is probably my 2nd favorite Bowie film appearance. So funny!
Credit: Our Golden Age
4. Check out David as he perfectly personifies Andy Warhol in Basquiat, 1996 .
5. You'll love him as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige, 2006

As a video-game obsessed eight-year-old kid, I randomly picked up Ratchet & Clank one day after finding the combination of a creature with long ears and a tiny robot, on the game's cover art, to be rather amusing. To this day, the first Ratchet & Clank game is one of my all time favorites and holds a special place in my heart. The game made me a huge fan of the franchise and its following two games took up a lot of my free time during my childhood. So, after recently buying the Trilogy/Collection I was curious on how it would match up to my first play-through of them when I was a youngster.
*Note: I'm going to go through each game (Ratchet & Clank 1, 2, and 3) separately in different parts and they will contain spoilers (the Trilogy was defiantly worth the €40 I paid for it) and I'm probably going to ramble on about a few things as well.
Ratchet & Clank 1:
You'd be forgiven if you believed that the dynamic duo were going to be mute characters in the game, as neither of them speak in their opening cut-scenes. However, it all kicks off when the pair first meet and the two decide to help stop the evil Chairman Drek from taking parts of other populated planets and adding them to a new one primarily for his own people: The Blarg. However, first they must attempt to gain the help of the galaxy's hero Captain Qwark. The game starts off pretty darn easy...and stays that way for hours. In fact, the first third of the game is ridiculously easy, with the only times I recall dying were from jumping from a ledge that I shouldn't have and that time my controller died in the middle of a gun-fight. You'll probably learn within the first couple of hours that you can't really defend yourself from enemy attacks and the best way to avoid them is to randomly jump or run around like a maniac (this is a pattern that generally repeats itself in the series). However, unlike the others, I believe the first game required the most amount of skill. This is due to the a great balancing system within the game, every gun felt unique and different yet there were very few that felt amazingly powerful (the exception of course is the seriously highly priced R.Y.N.O); winning challenging battles would usually be down to who you would engage with first and having the right weapon for the situation. The game only had 15 weapons (16 if you count your wrench) and this helped create a feeling of each gun having their own specific use: the Blaster was for mid-long range enemies, the Pyrocitor would be for close range....and the Morph-O-Ray was there to turn small enemies into chickens, purely for shits and giggles. Even at a young age I really enjoyed this element; however, there are some issues with the Quick Select menu not having enough spaces (this problem is only addressed in the third installment) which forces the player to pause the game and select their weapon/gadget from it; it's not a big deal, but it does take away from the game's rhythm. One thing I loved, and I think everyone else does, are the game's cut-scenes. The majority of them are very funny, and although they are occasionally soured by Ratchet's sometimes great, sometimes lame, one-liners at the end, they are a real treat for the player.
There were some instances in the game that I distinctly remembered as a young boy that re-surfaced during my play-through. One of them being when the difficultly level kicked in when I was in Blackwater City, another was grinding onto rails for the first time; however, the largest and, in my opinion, best memory I took from the first game was when Qwark betrays you and you're left to fight the giant monster he had left for our heroes. The battle was memorable for me due to the amount of times that I failed as a kid. However, when I found out how to kill the beast (out of sheer panic rather than recollection) I felt as if I was re-enacting my childhood and a great sense of joy and nostalgia ran through me. On his last section of health I tried to lure the beast onto the only remaining bridge.....only to witness him glitching out as he repeatedly started running on the same spot, thus forcing me to leave the game and utterly ruining my re-enactment. Now, don't get me wrong, I've played games like: Skyrim, Fallout, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Battlefield and Uncharted, and in all of these games I've come across glitches, but when a re-released game (which is essentially a polished version of the original) comes out with game-ending glitches, that is unacceptable. Surprisingly that was the only glitch I came across in the game, making it the least glitchiest out of the three. The game surpasses all three games in terms of story, it's due to the fact that there are very minor plot-holes compared to the other two, and we also get to see some inner-conflict with our protagonists. When the beast is defeated, Ratchet becomes angry with Clank for having the two spend all of their time searching for Qwark, only to get betrayed. Clank, however, is more focused on Drek rather than seeking revenge on Qwark. We can clearly distinguish the two characters in this scene: Ratchet is the more fiery, aggressive and action like, whilst Clank is the more calm, clever and cunning type. It's a brilliant scene, one in which ultimately sees the pair sticking with each other.
The AI, for the most part is pretty dumb and not really varied, there are some exceptions towards the end and in a couple of other spots during Ratchet's quest, but for the most part, you do come across repetitive enemies during the game.
I suppose it was the introduction of the cool weapons and gadgets that brought me to the lore of Ratchet & Clank, but along with the brilliant cut-scenes, solid gameplay and not to mention that truly badass moment when you played as Giant Clank for the first time, it can easily be put down as one of my favorite games of all time.
Even though it wasn't as special as the first time I played through it, nothing truly is, and in my most recent play-through as a much older, much matured gamer, I can understand why I feel in love with this game and its franchise.

Poverty has a face. Dusty and dingy. Sad. Grey from last night's 4 day binge. Tear streaked or sweat streaked. Sometimes both. Matted hair, oily hair, no hair, on furrowed brows over sleep depraved eyes. Poverty has a limp when she walks down the street in clothes too small for her too small body. Track marks in the bends of her arms and knees and toes. Cracked lips from too many dicks. And never just enough change for a fifty cent cigarette, rolled by a lady who rolled from used butts, a lady she can't remember but bought from just yesterday. Poverty wears clothes handed down from hand me downs. He probably didn't bus all the way to West Ed to buy that Jack and Jones dress shirt one size too large. Poverty lives in a van, McDonalds bags 2 months old covering the oil stained painted carpet. He listens to CBC before looking for work that barely pays enough to get gas to get home. Home being a new space tonight because ESSO on 106st drove him off when the morning shift came on. And he's scared because Winter is coming, and his heater is busted, but the booze keep him warm. At least 'til he sleeps. Then wakes to snot frozen in his beard. But the shelter is too dangerous. And where to park his home? Poverty is clean shaven and joviality. He's eight cups of coffee to keep him awake from the wakefulness of last night's nightmares. He's quiet only when he sees the nightmares come to life and he has to sit with the worker who fights with an impatient middle class crisis nurse who will be intentionally late because the nightmares happen every. single. day. Poverty is too many voices medicated by a needle that may or may not have come out of the grate or the street works van or the hand of the man who traded a moment of voiceless peace for a dirty orgasm in the back of an old white beater on the corner of 96st and 112 ave. Poverty is a wrong turn. A bad choice. One barrier then two then three. Then loneliness. Then you. Then me. Save for the prospect of our opportunities.

I'm a little fucked up, far from perfect.
A few steps left of strange, nowhere near deranged.
I smile with a sparkle in my eyes
and cry from pains inside.
I no longer strive to hide my flaws.
Letting them fall, those walls
no longer defend me from you.
Look at me now; see what is true.
I may spill mustard on my tie at noon
or forget that cheese does not make up the moon,
and I may rhyme every line
or leave you guessing with blank abrupt verse.
Because I am far from perfect, a little fucked up.
Happy, melancholic. At times curt or terse.
But I no longer stand in front of mirrors to rehearse
and waste time life stretched toward perfect.
I've become accustomed to you.
Like a shadow in the room,
the dust square where a photo hung,
or the noise the refrigerator makes before it dies.
When did we last laugh?
I think you got it this time
somewhere in between the silences.
You were always best at quiet.
And now I just want to breathe you goodbye;
you're a cruel human being,
a puppeteer seeking a marionette,
but I have no strings and am not made of wood.
Can we laugh on Tuesdays, watching the hawks rise and dive
when the mice scurry across the fields?
Can you teach me about how they fly and cry
and lure their prey with a word of their mouths?
I saw a pink rabbit rush across my path on Saturday.
When was that? Two Saturdays ago? A lifetime ago?
I can see and not see. The pause between blinks
becomes longer as I think on what could be.
Sitting and waiting here, watching the whirlwind
spin and spin and spin and spin,
memories blend, disappearing on the wind
while I write my life in the sand.
And time passes but the longing does not;
it grows with each passing of the wind,
but beyond the black horizon,
I can see a pink bunny run across my path.
I'd given up that leg of the journey and made a left.
Back onto the road with the fence on the right,
rolling hills on every side. This road
cutting a line in the green.
Then you were there. And he was there,
but you were so intent on looking at the road,
chin in hands, elbows on knees, brow furrowed.
You couldn't see. But I could see.
I pulled onto the shoulder. You were distracting
to this driver motoring along. I couldn't understand
how you couldn't see him sitting there
dangling his feet, enjoying the Spring breeze.
God, you were distracting. Even with furrowed brow
seeing your beauty was like finally relaxing into warm water
after the day or the week had me beaten to a pulp.
So I just rested in your gaze.
And returned the favour by pointing him out.
"There he is, right behind you. Looks like he's been with you
a lot longer than you thought. (God, you're gorgeous)
But, yeah, he's here. You should chat. He looks a lot like love."
There is a cave in a not so imaginary mountain,
and therein is a made bed.
The sheets never wrinkle or get old,
and the mattress forever holds its form.
There is no light there, no sun. No lamp.
There are no shadows dancing on walls.
There are no accoutrements.
It is bare.
And there I sat. Not a prison. A hiding place.
A space that afforded silence and solitude
While I lived in the chaos and confusion
and existed as the ghost of something great.
I have emerged but not yet stretched in the light.
My eyes are growing accustomed to the sun,
and my heart is full and my skin electrified with wonder
at what it means to no longer have to hide.

Administrative tasks to perform remotely
This Article Covers
Administration Tools
What are all things that can be done by administrator by remotely logging into Domino Server?
I am not sure what you mean by remotely. If you mean "open a remote console", then they can issue any command they want. That inherently means they are either using the Admin client or the Web admin interface, which allows them to do anything. If you mean sitting down at the server console and typing away, again, they can do anything. Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. You have to trust your administrators. If you cannot trust your administrator to not harm your systems, then it is time to get a new administrator.

Mike Dunleavy was the Chicago Bulls' top free-agent priority, according to a league source.
The Bulls reached out to Dunleavy on Monday, the first day of free agency.
"I had some good opportunities, but Chicago blew me out of the water," said Dunleavy. "I don't think it's fair to say it was one thing that determined my choice; it was just the entire package they presented me. There was high interest from them right off the bat. I knew they wanted me and that meant a lot. I couldn't envision a better situation."
Dunleavy agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with the Bulls.

This is a translation of an anonymous creepypasta posted on one of Russian imageboards long time ago.
I've never told anyone this story, and I don't think I ever will (unless, of course, I get found out). I used to work as a night watchman in an office building in Russia. I didn't have much to do, just to stop anyone from breaking in (I am skinny as fuck, but if someone could break through that tough iron door, even a SWAT team wouldn't stop them, so I was there just as a formality), to let my bosses in and to check if the ceiling was leaking – sometimes a pipe on the second story would burst. Also, I had to clean the windows once a week. Basically, my work was pretty skate. There were also computers with games like Heroes of Might and Magic III – and I didn't need anything more. I spent every Saturday night in that office. Things were quiet, as only three people had keys – me, a director and some manager. One Saturday night I was playing on the computer when something rustled behind the door. Just once.
I got up and looked through the peephole, but nobody was there. I thought it was someone just passing by and got back to the game, but then something scratched at the door, and I heard an indistinct male voice. I thought it was the director, so I put the key in, turned it once and then looked through the peephole again. I said, "Is that you?", but nobody answered. I turned back the key, and immediately I heard a voice from beyond the door. This time it sounded like a woman, but I still couldn't understand a thing. It seemed like it was saying something, but not a single syllable made any sense. I swore at them and threatened to call the police (I was bluffing – we had no phones in the office, and the whole thing happened before the age of cell phones). A moment later, the female voice shut up, and I heard a quiet knock in the window. I opened the blinds, and I was stunned. No, I was paralyzed with fear.
My legs buckled, and I sat on the floor. A man (I want to believe it was a man) was hanging on the bars. Everything about him was completely unnatural. It looked like something that had only seen humans in the movies before had made a human suit and put it on. I couldn't even approximately guess at that thing's gender. Once it saw me, it started to speak – first, with the same female voice, then it started to alternate with the male one and then it seemed like the sound was coming from different sources, interrupted by some scraping and rustling. Fuck, even its facial expression was absolutely inhuman – it was moving its facial muscles in all possible directions. The creature was pressing its hands and legs at the glass while somehow climbing up at the same time. Maybe it was squeezing the rods with its knees and pushing itself up, I don't know. Back then, I thought it was flying. I could see the thing very well, and it hung for a pretty long time, perhaps for a minute. All that time I couldn't do anything – I just sat on my ass and stared at the creature.
About a minute later it finally ended – the whole cacophony died down, the thing turned back abruptly (I swear its head turned all the way around) and froze for a few seconds, staring at something. Then it suddenly jumped down and ran off while screaming something in a new, high-pitched voice. Since I was sitting on the floor, I couldn't see where it went. All I could do was close the blinds and crawl into the office where I couldn't see the door or the windows. I sat there and cried like a baby – it had been eight years since the last time I'd cried. Then I stopped and started to shudder all over. I sat on the floor till six in the morning, when my coworker, Artyom, came to replace me. I looked at him through the peephole for about two minutes asking him either to step back or to say something before I opened the door. Finally, I let him in, and although he slapped me on the back of my head, I just laughed hysterically (until I started to cry again). Anyway, when I came home, my parents had no idea what had happened to me – I was pale, I had circles under my eyes, and when I weighed myself, I found out that I had lost fifteen pounds that night. Since then I often have trouble falling asleep at night, and I get nightmares. I never told my friends about it, since they would only laugh at me. I decided to post this here, because even though you won't believe me anyway – at least, I wouldn't believe it myself - I really wanted to share my story. Well, that's all for now, I'm going to try to go to sleep.
Why didn't I go insane after that night? Thinking logically, I can say that if that thing had wanted to get me, I wouldn't have been posting in this thread. It seems like that thing saw me only by chance, but then it got distracted by something else and forgot about me. At least, I want to think so.

DONALDSONVILLE — Business leaders gathered at Palazzo Bernardo on Feb. 25 to honor residents who made contributions to the community.
Longtime Donaldsonville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Becky Katz received the Citizen of the Year Award, and Jordan Zeringue received the Teenager of the Year Award, both given annually to Donaldsonville residents who have made significant contributions to the community.
"Becky Katz is certainly a paramount example of dedication, strength, commitment and devotion," said chamber President Allison Hudson after presenting Katz with the award.
"Having served in the capacity of executive director for 34 years is commitment and shows her dedication to the chamber and this community," Hudson said. "Her appreciation for her work and love for the parish and this city and its citizens have propelled both her career and her drive to excel as a personable leader."
As Katz, who retired last month from her post, learned of the honor, she cried and said she was surprised and excited to receive the award, one that has been presented annually for almost 40 years.
"I feel blessed," Katz said. "Everything I did, I did for the town, not for the awards but it feels good."
Katz said she was deeply honored she was chosen to receive the honor, especially among the company of so many deserving people.
Zeringue seemed just as surprised but elated to be the winner of the Teenager of the Year Award and a $500 college scholarship. The Ascension Catholic High senior said he was confident his résumé was strong but said the other high school contenders had equally strong résumés.
"This will provide a certain motivation to go away and see the world and then come back and reinvest in this community," Zeringue said.
Zeringue was chosen from six high school students, including Jason Williams, Dominique Thomas, Emily Villa, Shaun Brown and Zachary Capello. The students, all seniors, were required to write an essay, undergo an interview and create a résumé.
Before the Teenager of the Year was selected, former Teenager of the Year winners Wanda August and Dr. Jennifer Straney talked to the students about following their dreams and always remembering where they came from.
"You are from Donaldsonville," Straney told the students. "Be proud of where you came from."
Zeringue, a Donaldsonville native, serves as the school's Student Council president and served as class president from 2011 to 2014. He was the captain of the school's cross country team in 2014 and served as the chaplain of the cross country team from 2011 to 2014. Zeringue was a member of the cross country team from 2011 to 2014, of the track and field team from 2011 to 2014 and of the National Honor Society from 2012 to 2015. He also attended Boys State in 2014.
Zeringue is a writer and reporter for the school's publications this school year and served as a member of the Model United Nations, an extracurricular activity in which students typically role-play delegates to the United Nations and simulate U.N. committees. He also was a member of Teens for Life.
Zeringue was offered a four-year Army ROTC scholarship to LSU, Spring Hill and North Georgia, and won four state championships as a member of the cross country team. He was named to the 2013 and 2014 All-Metro Cross Country and the 2014 All-State Cross Country teams.
He received the Tulane Book Award for leadership and his commitment to the community, an award in 2011 at the World Geography Literary Rally, an award at the 2013 History Literacy Rally and the Commitment to Excellence Award for cross country.
Zeringue is an altar server, Eucharistic minister and lector; he performs miscellaneous maintenance duties for the church, is a helper for the American Legion Memorial Day celebration and assists with the Ascension Catholic school fair.
He participated in the 2012 Chamber of Commerce clean-up day in Donaldsonville, assists with the church fair at St. Francis of Assisi and aided the 2012 March for Life.
Zeringue is a member of the school chorus and has been since 2011, and attended World Youth Day in 2011 and 2014. He was a member of the 2014 Ascension Catholic Prom Committee and is a senior Big Buddy to a first-grader.
Zeringue has completed 550 volunteer hours.
Before the winners were announced, 2014 chamber President Paul Landry IV urged those attending to mentor someone.
"If you're old, find somebody young and bring them back here," Landry urged.
He also urged the Teenager of the Year nominees to seek out a successful member of the community and ask them for help in learning about their business.

Last week it was revealed that High Moon Studios is developing a sequel to Transformers: War for Cybertron, a follow-up we knew was coming from information given out at an Activision's investor call last year. After being forced to rush out a weak Transformers game to tie into the release of Transformers: Dark of the Moon in theaters, now High Moon has a chance to get it right once again.
The sequel is titled Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and from the initial unveiling which included fan-favorite character, Grimlock, we know the game is introducing Dinobots. Today, Activision unveiled the firs Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and it again focuses on the Dinobot leader.
It's currently day two of New York Comic-Con and like last year, Activision is there in full force. They've about to reveal that Beenox is working on a movie tie-in for The Amazing Spider-Man after their work on previous Spider-Man games, Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time and just now, they unveiled our first, albeit brief, look into Fall of Cybertron.
The one important piece missing from this teaser trailer is Grimlock introducing himself : "Me Grimlock." That and an explanation for why there are robots on Cybertron based on the Earthly Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a direct sequel to War of Cybertron and its story will lead into story we know and love from the original animated '80s cartoon where the Autobots and Decepticons flee Cybertron and become stranded on Earth. Below is the official synopsis, which says no more than that:
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron takes fans through the final, darkest hours of the civil war between the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS as they fight for control of their dying planet, ultimately leading to their storied exodus from home.
The big question is whether or not Earth-based missions will be introduced in the sequel – that would at least explain the origins of the Dinobots and lay the foundation for a third installment based entirely on Earth, a la the original cartoon.
Expect more news shortly with the November issue of Game Informer including a 12-page cover story on Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in fall 2012.

How do you find a bride these days?
One of the nation's leading online tracking companies knows.
Monitoring consumers at roughly 3,000 Web sites, Revenue Science identified brides by picking out bridal behavior it had seen: anyone who'd gone online to read about weddings in the news, entered "bridesmaid dresses" into a search engine or surfed fashion pages for wedding styles.
The company found 40,000 such people, whom it knows by random number, not name, and sent them a tailored online ad.
"A successful campaign," according to company president Jeff Hirsch.
The growing practice of "behavioral targeting," or sending ads to online users based on their Internet habits, is now under scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission, whose review could shape not only Web advertising rules but the character of the Web itself.
For while public interest groups argue that compiling profiles of largely unsuspecting Internet users ought to be illegal, online advertisers and publishers respond that their ad targeting tactics protect privacy and may be essential to support the free content on the Web.
Behavioral targeting allows many Web sites to raise ad prices, because advertisers will pay more when they can isolate a particular audience.
Limiting behavioral targeting could "jeopardize the consumer's ability to get free content on the Internet," said Paul Boyle of the Newspaper Association of America, a trade group that represents the business interests of most U.S. dailies, including The Washington Post.
The FTC is considering guidelines, for now voluntary, that would make it harder to target behavior. The principles were issued in December after town hall meetings, and the public comment period ended last month.
As the commission's deliberations begin, some federal and state lawmakers are weighing measures that would be mandatory. New York lawmakers, for example, are considering a law similar to the FTC guidelines.
Now that many Americans spend as much time interacting with the Web as they do watching TV, there is a wealth of information available for targeters: what articles a person reads in online newspapers, what queries he or she types into search engines and what items the person shops for.
Revenue Science and its peers say that because the user profiles they keep are organized by randomly assigned numbers, no personally identifying information is ever stored.
But privacy groups argue that while the items collected by targeters may be "anonymous" when viewed individually, taken together they could enable someone to match the file on "User 927" to a person. For example, if someone repeatedly does an "ego search" on his or her own name, that file might have the name in it repeatedly.
"It is not anonymous if the companies are tracking the same user over time," said Ari Schwartz of the Center for Democracy and Technology, an advocacy group that has filed comments with the FTC.
Especially troubling, he said, is that the targeters can monitor what people are reading, whether it's news or dinner recipes.
Underlying the FTC debate among public interest groups and Web media and advertising groups such as Google, eBay, newspapers and magazines are larger questions about the Web economy.
With surfers accustomed to accessing online entertainment for free, media companies have been pushed toward online advertising, rather than subscriptions or fees, to make money. But by many measures, online advertising revenue has proven disappointing.
While television advertising amounts to $64 billion annually, online advertising amounts to $11 billion, according to TNS Media Intelligence. Even at hugely popular sites, such as YouTube and social networks such as Facebook and MySpace, which each count tens of millions of visitors a month, owners have struggled to make money from ads. Television networks and newspapers, too, have seen that online advertising generates but a fraction of what they receive in print or broadcast, even on a per-person basis. Behavioral targeting promises to bolster sagging online ad revenue with a more profitable approach.
Most online ad targeting is relatively unsophisticated. Advertisers might know the geographic area of a user based on his or her Internet address. Or an advertiser might target a user based on the context of the Web page being read. An online magazine for audiophiles is a natural place for stereo ads, for example.
But if there is no obvious product to pitch on a Web page, the value of the ad space may be very low and is likely to attract only low-paying ads such as those flashing ads about looking for a lost classmate.
What behavioral targeting does is allow advertisers to target ads based not on what's on the page but who is looking at it.
Revenue Science, like other ad targeting services, tracks users by placing a "cookie," or small file, on a computer when it connects to one of the 3,000 Web sites that the company works with. The cookie essentially identifies that browser as a visitor to sites working with Revenue Science and gives each one a randomly assigned number. No names or other personally identifiable information, such as age or address, are recorded in the cookie.
When a user visits such a site, Revenue Science can record what pages were viewed, what search queries were entered and other information. It can even count, if a newspaper or other publisher allows, how many times a person sees a story regarding any given search term, whether it is "al Qaeda" or "denture adhesive."
The practice becomes more powerful as users move from site to site, betraying more information about their tastes. While some Web sites refuse to share their behavior files with other sites, the ad networks offer financial incentives to Web sites that do. (The Washington Post, which uses Revenue Science, does not allow Web behavior from The Post's site to be accessed by others.)
Detecting from previous Web visits and searches that a reader may be interested in new sport-utility vehicles, for example, a Web site can make as much as 10 times the amount of money showing an ad to that user, compared with an undifferentiated ad.
But while the tactic may lead to profits, it also creates unease. A March poll by Harris Interactive showed that six in 10 people are not comfortable when Web sites use information about a person's online activity to tailor advertisements or content.
As the long-brewing debate shifts to the Federal Trade Commission and possibly Congress, newspapers are likely to play a leading role. The Newspaper Association of America has filed a brief with the FTC arguing that some of the voluntary rules proposed by the agency's staff might violate the First Amendment.
More than 600 newspapers have formed an ad consortium with Yahoo. Another company, formed by the New York Times and three other chains, similarly offers advertisers behavioral targeting.
"The problem for newspapers is that a story headlined 'Two Dead in Baghdad' isn't very product-friendly," said Kent Ertugrul, chief executive of Phorm, a behavioral targeting company working with British newspapers. "But if you know who is looking at the page, that's where the opportunity is."
It is just such added revenue, newspaper lobbyists argue, that the troubled newspaper industry may need to survive the online transition.
In its first draft of voluntary guidelines, the FTC staff called for clear warnings of tracking and for allowing users to permanently opt out of a Web site's tracking mechanism.
"Every Web site," according to the FTC's draft rules, should allow consumers to "choose whether or not to have their information collected for such purpose."
But the newspaper association argues that allowing the user to opt out isn't necessary: If a user doesn't want to be tracked by a site -- assuming the user is aware of being tracked -- he or she can simply avoid that site. Besides, Boyle noted, users are free to periodically delete the cookies on their computers.
"I really don't know that there is a personal privacy issue here," Boyle said. "The government really needs to let things play out."

Yo Gotti – Behind The Nine (Documentary)
New Music Friday brought us a new project from Yo Gotti, but he's taking fans behind-the-scenes to how White Friday was completed with this new documentary. Aptly titled Behind The Nine because he had nine days to finish the project, you can see the process of recording for Gotti in the first part of the video.
He called up producers he wanted to work with, set up shop in a mansion and brought his homies around to give him the energy to feed him to the finish line.
In the clip, his manager, producers and advisors talk about his work ethic and how they came to work with Gotti in the first place, mentioning the fact that he never stopped hustling. Gotti wanted to work with all the young producers for this one and give the streets that real.

Team USA Drivers De Phillippi and Smrz Enjoying Their European Adventure
Oxford, England (October 25, 2009) - A week has passed since Team USA Scholarship winners Connor De Phillippi and Brett Smrz made their impressive European racing debuts in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch. The time has passed quickly with a variety of tours and activities to fill the time before they will return to the cockpits of their patriotically liveried Team USA Scholarship/Cliff Dempsey Racing Ray GRS08 Formula Ford cars for next weekend's Walter Hayes Trophy at Silverstone.
The two American teenagers have been staying in the historic City of Oxford, home of one of the world's most storied universities, sharing an apartment with 2008 Team USA Scholarship winner Josef Newgarden and his roommate, F3 racer Philip Major, who hails originally from Canada and is also pursuing his goals of a European-based racing career. Newgarden, who has competed with great success in this year's MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain, has kindly acted as a guide, mentor and chauffeur to the eager youngsters.
"Josef has been great," says Smrz. "Oxford is a very fun place and it has some great architecture. Josef, Philip, Connor and I all get along really well, so that has made our trip even more enjoyable."
"The lifestyle is very different," he continues. "The people act very differently over here and the food is much more healthy than in the USA."
"The main thing I noticed is that everyone walks everywhere," adds De Phillippi. "There are several restaurants within a mile or so, and everyone walks, whereas if you were in the States most people would drive! The other thing that has stood out for me is how much faster everyone drives on the motorways. I also noticed that the drivers are much more aware of what is going on around them, and they move out of the way if they are going slower!"
On Tuesday, Smrz and De Phillippi took part in the Grand Prix Shootout, which offers the winner an opportunity to contest the 2010 Formula BMW series in Europe. Later in the week they made enjoyed eye-opening visits to top GP2 team iSport International and the 2009 Le Mans Series championship-winning Aston Martin Racing/Prodrive organization.
"It's been a busy week, but fun," says Smrz. "The Shootout was a pretty good experience and it was interesting to compete against drivers from many different countries. We drove little Abarth 500 cars at an old airfield, called Bruntingthorpe, which is used quite a lot for testing and developing cars but not for racing. I think both Connor and I did well, so I hope we get invited to the next round where we will be tested in Formula BMW cars."
Both youngsters appreciated their opportunities to take their first-ever close-up looks at a GP2 car, which provides the final step on the open-wheel ladder for Formula 1 aspirants, as well as the stunning Lola-Aston Martin B09/60 Le Mans Prototypes and Aston Martin GT2 and GT4 sports cars.
"Seeing the effort that is put into building specialized GT4 Aston Martins and their Le Mans series cars was amazing," notes De Phillippi. "The development area for their LMP1 and GT2 program was astounding -- there was not a speck of dirt anywhere!"
For Smrz, another highlight was the opportunity to take a close look at the Prodrive-prepared Subaru rally cars with which the late, lamented Colin McRae reaped so much success in the World Rally Championship.
After a relaxing weekend, De Phillippi and Smrz are due to make visits to the McLaren Technical Centre, home of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team, 2009 British Touring Car Championship-winning team WSR, famed constructor Lola Cars and RML, which fields the factory-backed Chevrolet team in the World Touring Car Championship.
The Team USA Scholarship, now in its 20th year, is supported by Doug Mockett & Company, Road Racing Drivers Club, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, Robo-Pong, Highcroft Racing, American Honda, Silicon Salvage, McMurry Inc., Dyson Racing, Metalore, The Gorsline Company, Integrated Performance Technology, PitFit Training, Sparco USA, OnCars.com, eFormulaCarNews.com, Speedstar Management, Manifest Group and an array of past Scholarship winners.

It has been a Penguin Point, then the upscale Bill's Bistro before becoming Mid-City Grill and, last time we saw, Miami Beach Teen Club. However, the bright blue exterior accented by palm trees at 1802 Spy Run Ave. now has a more staid brown look in preparation for its next life as – what else? – another restaurant.However, developer Bill Bean, who has retained ownership of the property through its various recent incarnations, isn't spilling the beans, frijoles, or whatever kind of menu offerings will be served there.
"You can say it's a To Be Announced concept," Bean said. It will have a fresh look inside and out when he announces the new restaurant early this spring, he said.
Bean is optimistic that downtown's development plans will make this a popular location.Bean and his Hanning and Bean Enterprises have a fork in a lot of restaurants around town. He just bought out his partner in Main Street Bistro and plans several changes that he's also being tight-lipped about. And he's been in talks with potential tenants to replace the Window Garden restaurant, which closed over two years ago, in Indiana Michigan Power Center. He expects to have something in place there in the next 4-6 months, he said.
Off-kilter sales
In case you didn't see our report, Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery at Jefferson Pointe has closed.
The restaurant wrote Sunday morning "Tilted Kilt Fort Wayne is closed permanently. Sales are too low to continue operations. Thank you for your business over the years. – Tilted Kilt Fort Wayne Ownership."
The Arizona-based restaurants has franchises in Indianapolis and in other states and Canada.
The Celtic-themed sports pub is known for its Irish, Sottish, English and American comfort food, but perhaps more famously for its World Famous Tilted Kilt Girls.

TRENTON - Gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono says it was a mistake to miss a deadline to get a statement about her included in sample ballots being mailed to 5.5 million registered voters.
The Democrat's campaign missed an Aug. 19 deadline to submit a 500-word statement about the candidate to be printed in sample ballots mailed to every registered voter before the Nov. 5 election.
The Record (http://bit.ly/19aYca1) reports Gov. Chris Christie and six unknown candidates all submitted the statements.
Buono, the Democratic nominee, has struggled to get her name and her message across to voters. She trails Christie by 20 points in polls.
Amy Davis, a compliance officer with the Election Law Enforcement Commission, says it's rare for a candidate not to submit a statement.

Helping your child through concussion recovery is tricky. Symptoms and signs of concussion can look different in everyone, and there are no easy tests (like an x-ray for a broken bone) that can help you and your child's doctor evaluate her progress. Even if your athlete took a baseline test of cognitive function (such as Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing, or ImPACT) prior to injury, re-testing may not always be a good indicator of healing.

In most cases, doctors recommend a graduated recovery plan with frequent monitoring of symptoms. To begin, once a concussion is suspected, an athlete should immediately be removed from play and sit out the rest of that day's game or practice, and be evaluated by a doctor, nurse, or athletic trainer who is trained in concussion care. Each player's concussion recovery plan should be individualized and take into consideration his or her past history of concussion (also called mild traumatic brain injury, or mTBI). Kids should be referred to a specialist in concussion if symptoms are worsening, do not resolve in about 2 weeks, or if the patient has other risk factors, most notably multiple previous concussions.

Concussion Recovery Plan: Rest

The first step is physical and cognitive rest for as long as it takes for symptoms to subside. This could take a day, a week, or even longer. International Consensus Concussion Guidelines state that each step in the progression to return to play should generally take at least 24 hours, so that the full return takes at least a week. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that "the younger the child, the more conservative the treatment." So it's important to allow your child enough time to rest and recover before she returns to play or even school.

Concussion Recovery Plan: Gradual Return to Physical Activity

The CDC outlines this return-to-play progression, to start only after the player has been symptom-free for at least 24 hours. Your child should try out each step and see how he feels. If symptoms return, he should go back to resting until his symptoms go away, then try the same level of activity again.

Light aerobic exercise: Just 5 to 10 minutes of walking, jogging, or riding a stationary bike—enough to raise the heart rate a bit. Avoid jumping, hard running, weightlifting.

Moderate exercise: This could include moderate jogging, brief running, moderate-intensity stationary biking, and moderate-intensity weightlifting. The goal is to add physical activity but keep head and body movement limited.

Non-contact exercise: At this point, the player can start getting close to his former practice routine, adding intensity (but avoiding any contact with other players).

Practice: As long as he's feeling okay after step 3, the player can try participating fully in regular team practices and workouts.

Play: If practice goes smoothly, then the player may be ready to return to competition.

Concussion Recovery Plan: Gradual Return to School

Many parents are surprised to learn that cognitive rest is an important part of recovering from a concussion. But some concussion symptoms (like problems with memory and concentration, and trouble sleeping) can make it hard for kids to learn and participate in school. And trying too hard can actually slow down recovery. So immediately after a concussion, a child's treatment plan may recommend complete or partial cognitive rest. That means limits, or a total ban, on going to school, studying, reading, watching TV, using a computer, playing video games, texting, and so on until concussion symptoms go away.

Just like the return to physical activity, the steps to returning to cognitive activity should be gradual and will be different for every kid. Some might be able to rest for a weekend and then return to school on Monday. Others will need to miss school, then attend with accommodations (such as skipping some classes, taking rests during the day, and postponing tests).

Most kids and teens do recover fully from concussions. But it's important that they take their time.

USA: Executive's notes describe Daimler-Benz and Chrysler combination as take over, not merger - report
Notes written by strategy chief Ruediger Grube three months before Daimler-Benz combined with Chrysler Corporation describe a takeover rather than a merger, according to documents released last month in a federal court in Delaware, Bloomberg News said. The Grube notes conflict with the public statements of executives in later months and may support assertions in a lawsuit by billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian and other shareholders seeking as much as $US15 billion from DaimlerChrysler AG, the news agency said.

Need Form printed on One Page and not Two PagesAsked by shardwick on September 18, 2015 at 12:36 PMOk, trying the code now, but even when I clone the url you sent, it still puts it on two pages when you go to print. Is it bc I am using Firefox and not what you use, which I believe is google chrome?
I see you were asking what browser my colleague is using for when the pages are still showing in his example he provided you for printing.
Yes it is google chrome.
I tested both on our end in the latest versions of chrome and firefox but from what I can see both are showing as printable on only 1 page on my end.
Is this still not the case on your side?
Can you please show us what you currently have as of right now for us to check if needed?
That is so weird....here is what I see on Firefox. What steps do you go through to print? I click Preview Form, Open In New Tab, File Print. Is that wrong?
I think I know what the problem is possibly.
Are you on a Mac? Can you confirm or correct me?
I noticed the 3 Dots in the top left so this is why I am under the impression you might be on a Mac.
I am currently thinking this may be a problem with how it is displayed on Mac most likey and that is probably why you are seeing it a bit differently than us.
Yes, I am on a Mac.
So you go to print the same way as I described?
I have tested the same on my browsers chrome and FF on Windows and the print preview brings up one page.
Kindly try using the print button within the form and see how it turns out
Could you try with chrome on you Mac and see how the preview turns out.
Firefox does NOT come up as one page. It does on the vendor form, but not the food form.
I did use the "Print Form button" and still no luck.
I have lines as borders all over the page as well.
I am going to try google chrome now.
If none work and it is bc I am working on a mac, is there a work around?
JotForm Support
Not that I know of, seems this is specific to mac, if it's possible for you to print in a windows operating system, that would help.
