"CFA is ruining my life" (The Boston Globe)

I used to work in the financial industry. You don't want to date a CFA. They're picky, by the book, and sticklers for the rules. For them, the perfect situation is when the numbers add up. There's no wiggle room for anything other than black and white. Chances are that this exam is bringing those quantitative qualities out in your boyfriend, and you're not measuring up to the Impossible Yardstick of Girlfriend Perfection he's got. That's not your fault; it's his. The other possibility is that he's realizing this ain't what he wants to do for the rest of his life but he's feeling trapped. So he took it out on you. And that's not fair either. Let this one go. Live well, be happy, and let him eat his decimal place of a heart out
she referred to CFA as a noun. i have notified the institute.
lol so she says she will be understanding then freaks out when he acts out while studying for the exam.
shes not even taking the test and its ruining her life lol! I think this is so funny
also how can you be 23 years old and think you have "been around the block" and know what you want in life? she is delusional on top of being paranoid.
CFA only ruins your life after you pass level 3 and realize there's no benefit and you just wasted a ton of your life.

The musicians are chosen from around the world and are accomplished soloists hailing from a number of Los Angeles's chamber and regional orchestras.
History of Hollywood Bowl Orchestra dates back to the early twenties when Eugene Goossens was the principle conductor. He was the first artist to bring fame to the orchestra with 'Symphonies under the Star'. Goossens's tenure was later followed by Stokowski and other conductors including George Gershwin and Felix Slatkin. From the era of fifties till eighties there was no official Hollywood Bowl Orchestra until it reappeared in the early nineties as a brand new ensemble.

His performances got public in the nineties and during his 16-season tenure, the artist toured around the world conducting significant events in Japan, Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. At the time of retirement he was awarded with a permanent title of the Founding Director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra.
Hollywood Bowl Orchestra has successfully conducted more than 300 concerts on the well known Hollywood Bowl Stage.

Ballet productions from San Francisco Ballet to Swan Lake and Midsummer Night's Dream, have all been performed here. Apart from this Hollywood Bowl Orchestra has also brought works from silver screen to life. It recorded the soundtrack of MGM's 'That's Entertainment III' for the first time in the early nineties with an aim of restoring the concept of film scores. Also it has conducted a number of events for the cause including annual movie night concerts and projects with collaborations of Warner Bros, Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios.

Medical College of Georgia President Ricardo Azziz wants to create a more attractive and unified campus by closing a portion of Laney-Walker Boulevard, turning it into a park that honors the street's namesakes.
But some in Augusta say it would be an affront to the historic nature of the street and a burden on a community that has already surrendered the former Gilbert Manor area to the school.
Azziz on Monday addressed a subcommittee of the Augusta Commission about the school's request. The request was received as information while the committee waits on traffic reports and the results of town hall forums about the potential closure, the first of which is tonight.
Laney-Walker, between R.A. Dent Boulevard and 15th Street, essentially cuts MCG's campus in two, and detracts from its appearance, Azziz said.
"Our campus does not look like a university campus," he said. "The students and the faculty have come to me and said, 'We want a campus that is unified. We want a campus that looks good. We want a campus that has green space. We want a campus that is attractive.' And I can't blame them."
The area sees about 8,500 vehicles a day, but the city is still doing a study about how many of them travel all the way through the section, said Steve Cassell, the city traffic engineer. There is already an extensive plan for improving the 15th Street corridor nearby, he said.
"Things are going to have to change in the area," he said. Work also would likely have to be done on Walton Way should the section be closed, he said.
Closing the street would allow the school more green space and would be used to create a park that honors the street's namesakes, Lucy Craft Laney and the Rev. C.T. Walker, Azziz said.
"We recognize that change is painful," he said. "But at the end of the day we must change to adapt. The world is changing around us. We need to ensure that this university remains here, growing and continuing to employ and care for Augustans."
But closing that portion of Laney-Walker would be a blow to the community, said Dr. Mallory Millender, the chairman of a committee to place historical markers on Laney-Walker to honor famous figures from the community.
"It is a bitter pill to have to have the street decapitated at this point," he said. The community "feels that it has suffered greatly at the hands of the medical college," Millender said, although it is supportive of the school.

Ireland are on a possible collision course to meet their former coach Paul Revington in the semi-final of the Champions Challenge in Argentina.
After Ireland's hard-fought 3-1 victory over South Africa on Tuesday, the Irish lads will play Poland in Thursday's quarterfinal.
And, if they win that one, then they could face Malaysia who Revington now coaches, of course they have to see off South Africa first, ironically Revington's home country where he played as an international.
But the Irish lads knew that going into their final group game against South Africa they needed to get a positive result, especially after their defeats by hosts Argentina and Japan.
On eight minutes, Ireland edged into the lead when Andy McConnell scrambled the ball over the line after good work from Mitch Darling.
But their lead was short-lived, as five minutes later South Africa punished the Irish defence after they failed to clear the ball to safety and Miguel de Garca nipped in to level it for South Africa.
With 10 mins of the half remaining, Chris Cargo slipped the ball to Michael Watt who shot wide of the target and two minutes later, Timmy Cockram sent the ball wide off the post.
Panic was beginning to set in as Ireland, once again were squandering chances in front of goal.
With less than ten minutes of the second half underway, John Jermyn steadied Irish nerves when he slotted the ball home, to put the Green Machine back into the lead.
It was now South Africa who were putting Ireland on the back foot, as they pressed for the equaliser and when the Irish went down to 10 men, after Darling was sin-binned, South Africa stepped up another gear.
With the Africans pushing forward in waves, Ireland burst from defence to win a penalty corner which Conor Harte converted, to give the Irish a comfortable two goal advantage and put them in to tomorrow's quarterfinal against Poland (5.30pm GMT).
It was Andrew Meredith's first taste of victory as the Irish coach.
He said: "The result was a good reward for the players who have been improving half by half, game by game. Their work rate in the extreme heat here was outstanding and the result was just reward for their efforts."

Nurse Humor: Stress Free Thanksgiving
Posted in: Enjoying HumorLeave a Comment (0) →
Archive for November, 2011
When a patient from a nursing home came to our emergency department with pneumonia, I contacted the next-of-kin listed on the patient's chart. After a fairly lengthy explanation of the serious nature of the patient's condition, I asked the family member, "So, are you the closest relative?"
She replied, "Oh no, honey! I live in Pennsylvania."
It is a well-known fact that ED doctors dislike pelvic exams. Our ED, in the beautiful Ozarks, is no exception. One night, a well known professional woman presented with abdominal pain.
The ED doc tried to help her relax by talking about the Ozarks. As he began the pelvic, he said, "It sure is beautiful down here." As soon as the words left his lips, he turned red all the way to the top of his Friar Tuck hair.
He sputtered an apology and the lady, fully enjoying his embarrassment, leaned up on her elbow and said, "No one's ever described it that way before."
The nurse in the room received a commendation for professionalism above and beyond the call of duty!

Tom Cable walked into the room dressed in just enough black to cover his thin veil of patience. He clearly was unhappy yet summoned the resolve to convey continued belief in his football team.
Given how badly the Raiders were walloped Sunday in Tennessee, a 38-13 season-opening loss to the Titans, Cable's 11-minute news conference Monday was a remarkable display of nobility and valiance.
Given the ease with which Oakland's offensive line was abused in pass protection, he also exhibited a detectable amount of denial.
Asked if he believed those failures are "correctable," Cable didn't hesitate.
"Yeah. I do," he said. "Has to be. I do believe that."
Like most football coaches, Cable is programmed to be abidingly loyal to his players and his boss.
When he says the team is better than it performed, it's an expression of confidence in individuals. When he says the roster is not the problem, it implies enough talent has been supplied by owner/general manager Al Davis.
"We're not going to sit around and overanalyze or overcook it," Cable said. "We're going to look at what the issues are and fix it. We feel great about our team. We just really did not play well yesterday."
In other words, the GM has done his job and the players will improve. So it's up to the coaches to conduct video evaluation and "fix it." By the time Cable left the podium, he had fallen on enough swords to leave him bleeding for a week.
But some cold facts can't be rationalized, much less obscured.
And one of those cold facts is that Oakland's offensive line, despite Cable's attempt to cover for it, is bad for the health of a quarterback. As dangerous as it was for a slow, ponderous QB like JaMarcus Russell, it was no safer for a mobile passer like Jason Campbell.
The left tackle, the likable Mario Henderson, drafted by Oakland in 2007, is the worst in the NFL, according to some statistical data. At the very least, he remains a "project" masquerading as an NFL starter.
Right tackle Langston Walker was drafted by the Raiders in 2002, signed a lucrative free-agent deal with Buffalo in 2007, was released after two seasons and landed in Oakland six weeks into last season.
That this was a weakness should not be a mystery to Davis or Cable. Weren't they watching last season?
Yet Davis presumably believes Henderson and Walker were better than anyone available through free agency or by trade. So, by extension, does Cable, who conceded the weakness but still is convinced it's temporary.
"Keep working it at," Cable said when asked what can be done. "We've got to play better at tackle, and that's the bottom line here. And we will do that. We'll keep working at it, putting it together, using different ways to help them. Just keep coming up with a process to help those two guys with their issues."
In other words, it's up to the coaches to coax improved play from Henderson and Walker.
But the offensive line problems didn't end with the tackles. Jared Veldheer, who played tackle at Division II Hillsdale (Mich.), was a rookie making his first NFL start — at center, before a noisy Nashville crowd. Robert Gallery, drafted by Oakland in 2004 to anchor the line from left tackle, washed out in that role and was moved to left guard. Right guard Cooper Carlisle is a solid run blocker.
This is how far the line has fallen from the days of Steve Wisniewski, Lincoln Kennedy and Barret Robbins — much less Art Shell, Gene Upshaw and Dave Dalby.
Few men in football know offensive line play as well as Cable. It's his area of expertise. It's why Davis hired him after the 2006 season. Cable is inviting upon himself and current line coach Jim Michalczik the challenge of making lemonade from lemons.
And Cable thinks they can do it. He hinted at the possibility of changes but, frankly, Oakland's Pro Bowl linemen are all retired.
"Every issue that's on that film, we've been through (and) probably had it happen already in preseason and been able to fix it," he said. "So we need to be a little more focused, a little more attention to detail."
Bless the man. Cable is filled with the faith of a fresh season. He can point out that it's only one game. He can buy into the comfort of having plenty of time to address and solve the problems before him.
It would be easier to believe him if these problems weren't so familiar.

Tom Cable, players remain upbeat despite another opening loss. Page 7

Just wondering; with the older versions of ZoneAlarm (like Version 8) when you wanted to completely uninstall ZA (inlcuding the license) you had to enter into the target field (under Properties of the uninstaller in the start menu) the following;
/clean /rmlicense (including spaces)
And then when you uninstalled ZA through its own uninstaller you would completely remove ZA.
Out of curiosity - would this still work with the latest version of ZA (i.e.; ver 9.1.008.000 and 9.1.507.000)?
Also, with ForceField you could completely remove it too (including the license) by the same route but just typin in the target field;
Would this too work with the latest version of ForceField?

New Defeater Song
I guess i'll be the first one here to say album is gonna rule
holy piss yes
Digging: 21 Savage, Offset and Metro Boomin - Without Warning
Kick ass song. I dont think i can handle this much awesomeness in one weekend.
Digging: Saintseneca - Such Things
so good. got my pre-order in last week, so stoked.
nice tie into travels with the 'forgiver forgetter' line
Song is gooood.
everything this band does is golden
well I thought they'd have a lot more synth by now
...and the forum collectively creams.
think i'll just wait for the whole album to listen, but from what everyone is saying I am stoked for this
At least listen to Dear Father for christ sake.
i did
oh goddammit SUCH A COCKTEASE
Holy jizz! best new song yet!
was alrite
pretty solid, but none of their bests
i agree with clash. its pretty good, but from the 3 tracks heard so far, i dont think this will top Lost Ground.
still really good though!
Fuckin' good.
2011 is like a flood of good music so far god damn.
i'm going to try to reserve judgement until i hear the album as a whole, but i'm not entirely won over this. i prefer dear father and i don't mind
This actually IS the Bullshit Sickness.
I love the tie-in to Travels it has.
I heard this yesterday it is damn good. Counting down the days till their album drops.
vocals sound a little more desperate.
think he changes his vocal tones for each character....it was most vibrant for travels, more monotonous for lost ground, and much more desperate for this
hmm, if thats what hes doing thats pretty fuckin cool.
hahah i hope it is because that makes him even more of a boss
The wait for this album is...
Sorry, couldn't resist.
you slutwhore.
AOTY, hands down
^ i dunno bout that
Defeater kill me.
Yeah this seriously didn't floor me.
Not bad by any means at all, still excellent. It's just my pants are inexplicably not shitted, that's all.
I'm thinking this and Manchester Orchestra will contend for aoty.

So happy I preordered this, the book is going to be awesome.
Kick ass!
puttin this on repeat
hasn't gotten old yet
fucking hell the wait for this album has sucked so bad
Album needs to hurry up and leak.
Wow, this is going to be a really good album.
Song is growing on me for sure. Just pre-ordered, so excited.
$31 to pre-order though? Fuck that, I'll wait for the show.
I have a prediction for Defeater's next album after Sleepless Nights:
it will be desperate vocals over angry guitar and the concept will be about early 20th Century America.
Oh hey, did I get it right?
Not sure if I'm going to be able to make the show though. Fucking uni.
I thought you were going to the sydney one? which is on a saturday.
I'm closer to Newcastle so I was going to that, so I may or may not go to the Sydney show, not sure yet.
Hope I'll have the opportunity to see these guys once in Germany. That'd be awesome.
Song is kickass.
Ahh. Me and my friend are thinking, go to the Sydney gig and then roadtrip up to Newcastle. Good plan, no?
Sounds a great plan. Are you much of a fan of the band they're touring with, Miles Away? I've only had a quick listen to their stuff.
Their latest album is pretty damn solid although not top of the crop, but I'm not hugely keen on their older stuff.
The vocals are reminiscent of Amia Venera Landscape for me.
And I love their vocals, so hell yes.
I want
Going to see them in Nottingham in 6 days
Guys... this band is good, but there shouldn't be this much fap over it.
I'm glad someone with authority has cleared that up for us.
I am no authority, just stating my opinion.
First thing I have heard by them, and I like it alot.
Your opinion =/= fact. Yeah.
Opinions can be stated in fact form.

Fuck yes
Digging: Summoning - With Doom We Come

i'm thinking the cut off at the end of white oak doors might be intentional guys
like the end of sopranos
So Xeno how are you enjoying it?

at that second the character's hit by a train
maybe i'm overanalyzing but this is blue balling me like hell =(

the acoustic side rules face
Album rules so far. Haven't gotten to the acoustic part of the album yet but I hope the songs are better than "I don't mind" which was lame.
They were ;)
i don't get the hate for i don't mind
i fucking love it
Album is really good so far but I'm nervous for when I get to White Oak Doors.
I think i might like this more then travels idk its just really gooood..
k so yeah this is fucking incredible.... did anyone get a version of White Oak Doors without the cut to silence at the end though? I can't imagine they'd leave it like that on purpose
pretty sure they did
holy fuck blueballed so hard
Hey, if anyone doesn't get this already, if you listen to the lyrics, it's obvious that this album is from the side of the brother that dies in Travels.
Just so you know.
Or rather, the one that the narrator kills in Travels
There are the lyrics/story
holy fuckin shitt the brother had it even worse then the narrator from travels...this is amazing
'Quiet The Longing'...
His vocals remind me a bit of The Saddest Landscape in this.
i'm butthurt about how much of a retard you seem to be
not 'butthurt', just feel a bit sorry for you
i'll be the first to admit that i'm a HUGE FLAMING FANBOY
i'm just saying that letting other peoples love for an album affect your view is fucking retarded
im gonna get so flamed when i do the review for this
i'd love to see a negative review for this tbh
just to neg it so hard
nah you write good reviews and i wanna hear why you don't like it nearly as much as me
dont get me wrong, its sounds really good.
but the casual listener will most likely get really confused at the whole interlocking stories/themes on their albums
the lyrics arent even nothing to fap about tbh. just the story is kinda cool
Fuck the casual listener then? The band isn't aimed at them.
"the lyrics arent even nothing to fap about tbh."
double negative they totally are something to fap about js
i thought travels was excellent but it didnt make me jizz or anything. but EDSN has officially made Defeater one of my favorite bands now.
kicking over the hornets nest
fuck you faggot, if you dont like this gtfo. we dont take kindly to your kind round hur.
oh shit this leaked already?
aight will make final judgement by tomorrow
I'm not so much of a fanboy that I can't take criticism to the band, but it actually has to make sense. Criting them for having a continuous story is like saying The Two Towers is bad because it continues where The Fellowship left off.
dude lotr sucked so bad
That wasn't my point but k.
how did I not listen to this band before now holy shit
Fuck I was at work all day. Getting right noww.
Not disappointed in the slightest. Might end up being my favourite hardcore album.
The story just gets so much more tragic. And the ending to White Oak Doors....powerful stuff.
So, we've decided it's supposed to cut out like it does? Or has someone found a file which doesn't do that? It makes sense, but doesn't seem very well executed (so to speak) to me.
I'd say it's meant to end like that. And I thought it was really well done *shrug*
I could see this whole story making an excellent movie though. Albeit, end the movie just before the
little brother jumps. And then in the credits play I Don't Mind, and have Brothers as the opening
Only listened to album on YouTube so far, but sounds goddamn great.
The song was great and all, but it wasn't amazing.
i refuse to believe it's the real ending. it's done horribly. i will leave it at that.
album rapes otherwise
its done fine
hey guys look what i found
lol retards
at least we know it ends that way
fucking powerful stuff
headstone is unbelievable
I feel like Defeater just punched me in the dick in the best way possible.
Whole albums on youtube atm for those interested.
Listened to it 5 times already now. Only track I am not keen on is I don't mind, but the rest are excellent.
I really would like to hear someone justify a 2.5 or less for this album with a review tbh.
I don't really get the dislike for I Don't Mind...it's simple, because it represents the one moment in all of their albums where life was simple and calm and nice. And I find it beautiful, and tragic, for that.
Still getting this in March. Fuck a leak.
thinking about getting that t-shirt with the dock on it
so the first half of Empty Days is beyond amazing
don't spoil it son, dl is almost finished
I love the idea of the last track finishing suddenly, but it really could've been done better. Doesn't detract from the album though, which is amazin.
Exactly my thoughts edwin... I dont like the way it was executed either.
Not sure how else you can stop mid-word other than stopping mid-word.
Maybe they shouldn't have stopped mid-word then, because it just sounds like a glitch in the file. Oh well, never mind.
Album is REALLY good.Don't see how the last word getting cut off doesn't make sense, he gets hit by a train...
It makes perfect sense, but the way they did it is an awkward sounding way to end a song.
Yeah, true I guess they wanted to pull a last sopranos episode on it.
you don't know much then
"thinking about getting that t-shirt with the dock on it"
Do it! I just bought the long sleeve "No Hope" shirt.

Late Late Blind Date's Amanda given a Coppers Gold Card after unsuccessful date with Deano - 'I have no regrets'
A Kerry woman who was matched up on last night's Valentine's themed Late Late Show has revealed she has been gifted a gold card for Copper Face Jacks after a very unsuccessful date in RTE's green room.
Amanda (28) from Milltown in Kerry appeared on The Late Late Show's version of Blind Date last night where she was paired with Dean (25) but said the Dubliner was "good fun, but just on the show to have a laugh".
Amanda, who works in recruitment, told Ryan Tubridy that she didn't think she'd be taking RTE up on their offer of a second, all expenses paid date with Dean, who described himself as "exotic and enthusiastic" after the date.
"In the green room, Dean and I just chatted. I don't have any regrets at all he's a funny guy and it was a great experience," Amanda said.
"When you're on stage, you kind of forget who said what and the audience seemed to like Dean so I chose him. I don't regret not picking the others at all. It was funny."

Although Amanda revealed she would not be embarking on another date with Dean, she said she was chuffed to be gifted a gold card in popular Dublin night club Copper Face Jacks, which allows her to queue-skip and avoid the entrance charge for the rest of her days.
"I wouldn't say it was a highlight, but we went to Coppers last night after the show and the guy at the door just gave me one. It means I can skip the queue and I don't have to pay in," she said.
Although good-natured Amanda took the positives from her date with Dean, she said he should rethink his dating strategy if he is on the look out for love.
"I think Dean was on the show for the laugh. I'm all up for that but I would like someone in the future to take me a bit seriously as well."
Amanda joked: "We were all having a laugh and celebrating but perhaps Dean was celebrating a little bit more."
The experience hasn't dampened her hope of finding love in the future, either, especially with her Coppers' gold card in her hand.
"I'd really like a guy who had a good sense of humour, who might take a date a little bit more seriously but overall last night was such a fun experience," she said.
Tubridy acted as Cilla Black on last night's episode where Topshop worker Dean was selected by Amanda despite telling her a story about a one night stand gone awry.
"I had a one night stand. But unfortunately I left me Leap Card, me wallet and me phone in her bedroom before I took flight out the front door," he said.
"When I was trying to hail a taxi, I realised I had no money so I ran back up to the door, slammed on it one, two, three and there she was for me," he said.
Amanda, who had been single for two years, turned down two prospective dates for Dean because she felt "the audience liked him".
Following their date, Dean said: "I've been put into the green room and treated with the utmost hospitality. I mean RTE could not have gone any better for me. Amanda is beautiful I've seen her phone it was great. It was snapping.
"Do you know what? We're getting together. I love her. I'm feeling exotic and enthusiastic," he said.

With Troy Westwood cut, the placekicking chores fall to Alexis Serna -- for now.
The import hasn't attempted a field goal in a CFL game.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are seeking a Canadian punter and you can expect Duncan O'Mahony, who was recently cut by Edmonton, to be in town by Thursday.
The club has contacted him, but "nothing has been finalized yet," GM Brendan Taman said yesterday.
Rob Pikula remains a possibility, but he expressed a reluctance to return to Winnipeg after being part of last year's dramatics surrounding Westwood. Taman also has a line on two import kickers and will monitor CFL cuts.
"We've got a plan and we're going to be fine," Taman said. "We know what we're going to do, it's just a matter of getting it executed."
Still, Serna has been anointed the placekicker.
"Alexis has been really consistent in kicking," said head coach Doug Berry.
One of the reasons Westwood was released was the Bombers didn't want to lose Serna.
Even Westwood conceded he has a promising future as a placekicker.
"I guess it's one step closer (to winning a job) but you've just got to keep going out there and just keep competing," Serna said.
"It's tough to see him go because he helped us out here a lot. He's a good guy. He talked to us a lot. If we needed any help, he was there for us -- the thing that I had heard that he hadn't done in the past. But he was there for us and it's kind of upsetting to see him go.
"You could tell there was a different feel when you came out here (for practice). You could sense it with the players. It's different without him out here."
Westwood will be missed.
"I think the writing's been on the wall for a little while for as far as Troy goes," said receiver Jamie Stoddard, the holder on placekicks. "Obviously he just didn't get the job done up to expectations and got released. That's the way the business goes and it's going to be sad not to see him on a daily basis.
"He's a good friend of mine. But I've had friends who got cut before and you just have to go with it and deal with it as best as you can and move on from there."
Former Bomber punter Bob Cameron, who attended the press conference, politely declined comment, saying he was there to support a friend.
"It is better to do it with one pre-season game left," Berry said. "The football team is going to have to adjust to this because there are so many friendships here."
HASHMARKS: Westwood was not the only Bomber released yesterday. Joining him were LB Eugene Boakye, DBs Justin Clayton and Willie Tagoa'i, DT Richard Clebert, DE Jauron Dailey, OL Will Henry and Andy Hunter, and WR Jeff Moore ... Calgary cut former Bomber OL Jermese Jones and DB Chijioke Onyenegecha, both imports.
Day 15 of Bomber training camp
Ryan Dinwiddie smoothly completed long bombs to wide receivers Derick Armstrong and Dan Sheldon that brought applause from a crowd of 200-plus. Honourable mentions to WR Jamie Stoddard, LB Ike Charlton, DB Willie Amos, Sheldon and DB Jovon Johnson.
Slotback Romby Bryant looked like a veteran, adjusting to an underthrown pass from Kevin Glenn to make a sliding catch in coverage.
"Had this been a different scenario, we could have been neighbours down at the beach or something. I would really enjoy having Troy Westwood as a friend. I really enjoyed having him on this football team."
-- Head coach Doug Berry
34 -- The number worn by Brad Serna, which adds up to seven, Westwood's number for most of his days as a Bomber
Defensive ends
With the release of imports Jauron Dailey and Richard Clebert, Nick McNeil and Josh Miller as imports vying for jobs against veterans Tom Canada and Gavin Walls, two of the top defensive ends in the CFL.
"Trying to beat out any of those guys up front, people will have their work cut out for them," said line coach Richard Harris.
But the Bombers often keep an extra import defensive end around in case of injury and McNeil did lead the club with seven defensive tackles in Winnipeg's pre-season game against Hamilton. Miller, who is listed as an interior lineman, did not record a tackle.
One practice today at Canad Inns Stadium, from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The public is welcome.

Bayport Park will close from Monday until May 1,so the facilities can be improved and expanded.
By BARBARA BEHRENDT, Times Staff Writer
Published November 14, 2007
BAYPORT - Residents and visitors will temporarily have to find a new place to gaze into the sunset, and boaters will need an alternative launching site because the county is closing Bayport Park beginning Monday.
The closure is necessary to accommodate park improvements and expansion that county officials have been talking about for years.
The hope is that the $1.24-million improvement project will be done and the park reopen by May 1. That would mean it would be open in time for the popular tarpon fishing season, said Pat Fagan, parks and recreation director.
"This is the best time to do it," Fagan said. "We're going to try to get it back up as soon as possible."
The improvements are extensive enough that much of the park will be torn up, making it impossible to keep the park open through the process.
"There is just going to be so much area under construction that, for safety purposes, we have to do this," Fagan said.
County officials have been working with the county's Environmentally Sensitive Lands Committee and the Southwest Florida Water Management District to address environmental and design issues for the past several years. Suncoast Development Inc. of Odessa was awarded the contract for the project, which is being paid for with dollars collected through the county's Environmentally Sensitive Lands Fund.
George Foster, a member of the sensitive lands committee who lives near Bayport, said the committee has reviewed and commented on various versions of the improvement plan over time.
"We wanted to ensure that the character of the park would not be terribly diminished by the improvements," Foster said. "We wanted to save as many trees as we could and keep the environmental footprint as small as possible."
Ultimately, he said, "I think it's a pretty good outcome."
Parking at Bayport will be much improved.
The plan calls for completely rebuilding the parking lot and making room for 48 boat trailers and 35 cars. Now the park has just 18 spaces at the pier and room for just 14 boat trailers.
Traditionally, the overflow of boaters have had to park along the roadway, Fagan said.
Another major improvement will be the addition of a sewer connection, eliminating the old septic system. The project includes two sewer lift stations and a connection to the Bayport Inn wastewater treatment facility.
The existing restroom at the park will also be replaced with two new concrete restroom buildings.
A new boardwalk will be constructed, a portion of which will include benches where fishing will not be allowed. Other improvements include a large pavilion, five small picnic pavilions and a new water system.
Fagan said he was sure the public would be pleased with the final result even if they are inconvenienced for a few months.
"It will be well worth the waiting," he said.
Barbara Behrendt can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 352 848-1434.

Improvements at Bayport Park include added parking for boat trailers and cars:
-48 boat trailer spaces, up from 14

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- New York Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand said Saturday Democrats won't give up challenging President George Bush's strategy in Iraq.
Delivering the Democrats' response to the Republican president's weekly radio address, Gillibrand said U.S. troops "deserve a strategy for success in Iraq."
"Congress is challenging the administration's strategy in Iraq in favor of a better one that will effectively combat terrorism and create stability in the Middle East," Gillibrand said. "Time and time again, we voted for a strategy to redeploy troops out of Iraq to leave policing the streets to Iraqis and to focus our mission on anti-terrorism -- and we won't give up."
She said there needs to be pressure to force political reconciliation in Iraq that will result in stability and rejection of terrorism. That in turn, she said, will allow greater focus on addressing growing terrorist threats in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Gillibrand also said Democrats want to see healthcare reform, lower fuel prices, protection of family farms, an end to the mortgage crisis and investment in the nation's infrastructure, while exorcising fiscal discipline and producing balanced budgets.
"We cannot continue to deliver to our children and grandchildren a legacy of endless debt," she said.

Justin Bieber Defends His Right To Wear Overalls In Public Over The Age Of 5
In case you actually enjoyed spending time with your family over Thanksgiving and missed Overall-Gate 2K13, let me fill you in on what happened. Selena Gomez's ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber wore overalls to meet the Canadian Prime Minister this weekend and the world subsequently exploded in outrage. According to the UN, there's nothing more disrespectful than meeting a prime minister when wearing overalls. (The only exception is when those overalls have a butt flap. Then it's considered smart and forward-thinking. Don't ask. You can't make these rules up if you tried.) Even if the invite says resort casual, everyone knows the Prime Minister really means black tie only. It's called reading between the lines.
In fact, Gawker went as far as to bestow the title White Trash Prince on him for his unique choice in Prime Minster Wear — and then Daily Mail went even further by quoting Gawker.(Never have I ever seen this happen in the media world!!!) While the White Trash Prince title might work on a Linkedin profile, it didn't sit right with the Biebs. So he responded by writing a punctuation-optional comment on Instagram. You want to stick it to the media? Make alone into two words. It will teach them a lesson they'll never forget.
While I think White Trash Prince has a nice ring to it, we're missing the larger issue here. (And no, the issue isn't that Kid Rock wants his title back.) Justin Bieber wore overalls in public. And not just "running a quick errand" public, but "going on stage to perform in front of thousands" public. He looked at all the pants available and said to himself, "I want the pair that comes with a top. The kind with latches that hold them up. And, twist, I want to only wear one strap. Because I'm gangster like that. "
This is not a thought that should go through anyone's head over the age of 5, especially if that person's not a lead member in a band that sings some kind of "I've Been Working on the Railroad" mash-up. So it's not disgraceful that he wore overalls to meet the Prime Minister, it's disgraceful that he wore overalls at all.
In a world with so many offensive topless pairs of pants to pick from, it just makes no sense.

Recalling his time with Jesus, John brings to life the miracles and messages of the Man who would change the course of history. And as John recounts the miracles the Messiah performed during His transformative time on earth, we too are transported to those glorious events.
John experiences persecution, betrayal, torture, and exile, but never falters in his belief or commitment. John's Story is a thrilling account of the life of the man who came to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament and to save all of humankind, and of the disciple who was the last eyewitness to Jesus' glory.
John's Story brings to life the most important events in human history and also includes the very words that John wrote, words that continue to bring followers to Jesus every day.

"Good listen but lacking"
If you are trying to figure out if you should download this book, do so. It is interesting and worth a listen, although it is not the same "drats I have finished my commute and I'm in the middle of a chapter" feel as some of the Left Behind series. It is largely a retelling of the Gospel of John word-for-word. There are some parts that offer an insight as to what it may have been like for John, but there are clearly areas where they could have gone further into the historical fiction realm with character development.
"Comes to Life !!!"
I am still listening to this book, but to be hearing how the Bible or the Gospels of John came about is Awesome!!!! I feel as if I am there in history living out John's life with Jesus !!
"The Bible at it's Best"
Want to know what the books of the bible are about? These books are in story form....theme, characters, settings. I've tried to read the Bible a hundred times. With stories like this, I can read/listen to the Bible and fully understand each book. What did I love best about John's Story? It's the first of many that I will read.
When I found out that Saul became John, at Jesus' saying it was so.
I wouldn't.
"A little depressing"
I felt this book depicts John as defeated, full of the fear of dying. I know they're trying to be realistic but making John in such a depressing state, while proclaiming one of the most incredible truths. I understand there was a battle and that he was old, but it makes you wonder if this is the victorious life that John wrote of. This is the victory that overcomes the world? I think John should have been placed a little bit more apostolic such as Paul. The other details such as his companions and his enemies were good. But when you have no true basis to make John a defeated character, it's almost like defamation of character.
"A "must listen" for Christians and all people"
The story of John the apostle comes alive! The LaHaye and Jenkins series in audio formst are powerful works of literature.
"good book"
this was a good way to bring a the story of John to life, few know the life of a man that was so close to god. the cast brought the characters to life.
"A Poor Interpretation of St. John"
I did not like the way the story of John was portrayed. It was not true to the Bible description of him.

Australian minister angers gay marriage activists
Australian gay marriage advocates have hit back at their shadow communications minister for suggesting civil unions substitute marriage equality
Australia's former opposition leader Malcolm Turnbull has received strong criticism from gay marriage activists for favoring civil unions over marriage in a recent speech.
'While I am very doubtful the numbers are there to legislate for gay marriage in the federal parliament I think they are certainly there to legislate for civil unions,' Turnbull said at Southern Cross University, New South Wales.
He added: 'I think it would be great pity if marriage is not able to be passed in parliament, and that opportunity to pass civil unions should be taken up.'
Responding to the speech, Australia's Marriage Equality National Convener, Alex Greenwich said: 'Where civil unions have been enacted, they entrench discrimination rather than remove it.'
He added: 'Mr Turnbull should know better than to suggest civil unions as a way forward.
'Civil unions may be a politically expedient cop-out for politicians, but they will never be a solution to the acute hurt and discrimination held by so many same-sex couples, their families, and their communities.
'Turnbull's own polling proves Australians aspire to a nation that provides equality for loving and committed couples, not one that settles on convenient half measures for politicians.'
This speech follows Turnbull's recent call for a conscience vote on gay marriage.
Australian newspaper The Brisbane Times has also reported Turnbull saying gay people are not a threat to the marriage institution.
Polls have shown the majority people in each state support gay marriage, for example in South Australia where 67% agree that it should be legalized.

Higher education business process surveys, like the one recently released by the Educause Center for Applied Research (ECAR), tend to ignore the most important part of what they're studying--the costumers and services. Taxpayers inevitably foot the bill for such studies and the author concludes that maybe the best way to solve this problem is for American colleges and universities to actually start behaving more like businesses.

Good Points
Good screen size, compact unit, fairly easy to use and install maps. Good screen mounting system. Good range of maps available.
Bad Points
Limited postcode digits. It became difficult to pick up signal to the point where it was sent off for repair. Only two agents in the country, service generally poor. Office in Germany seemed not interested in helping after sale.
General Comments
Having a Sat Nav that only works now and again is not much use. Sadly after 8 months and a replacement unit I have given up on the Becker Traffic Assist and returned it to the suppliers Viking Direct. Thankfully with Viking Direct being such a good supplier, there was a no-hassle return policy, which offset the poor customer service available from the manufacturers and UK service agent.

Last game you finished, tell us about it

Metro 2033
Metro: Last Light
Metro 2033 was a replay so I won't bother going into detail on that. I'm pretty sure I talked about it somewhere in this thread in the past. Bottom line: it's one of the better modern first-person shooters imo, and anyone who's a fan of the genre should play it.
Metro: Last Light starts up 1 year after the events that took place in Metro 2033. You again play as Artyom, but unlike Metro 2033 which was based on the novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky, this game isn't based on a novel. The writing didn't blow me away, but I thought it was above average for the genre. Afaik, the plot for Last Light was also written by Glukhovsky.
Metro 2033 was one of the more impressive games from a visual standpoint to be released in recent years, and Last Light is no different. The graphics are impressive to say the least, but they come at a price. Make sure you have higher-end graphics card if you're going to tackle this game.
If you've played Metro 2033, then Last Light won't throw too many surprises your way. It's basically more of the same which is a good thing imo. The game relies heavily on atmosphere and tension throughout, and does an excellent job of it. Like 2033, the sound effects are top notch and do a geat job of adding to the atmosphere.
The levels are well designed if somewhat linear, and there are lots of hidden nooks and crannies to discover. The attention to detail is superb, and I'm not sure if I've ever seen a more convincing post-apocalyptic world in a game. I also enjoyed the little details like Artyom's watch showing the current real-world time.
The animation is also excellent and combat is tight. Many of the levels also have a stealth option that generally works well. I did think stealth was done a little better in Metro 2033 though. It seemed a bit on the easy side in Last Light. There were times when it seemed like human enemies were extremely near-sighted.
The game is a lot easier than Metro 2033. I was aware of this prior to starting though and played on Hardcore difficulty. I found that setting to be about on par with the Normal difficulty in the prequel. On the other hand, Last Light is also a lot longer than 2033 which is known for being a very short game. I'd say it's around double the length.
Overall it's a very solid game. If you're a fan of Glukhovsky's work or post-apocalyptic settings in general, you need to play it. It's a worthy sequel to Metro 2033.
I give both games an
If I had to choose one or the other, it would be Metro 2033 by the tiniest of margins. I enjoyed them both equally, but I feel the superior enemy AI and stealth elements make 2033 slightly better despite its brevity.

DEBORAH BOGLE looks at the issues surrounding the review of 54,000 mammograms
What happened?
Health Minister John Hill announced on Wednesday that independent radiologists would review digital images of mammograms taken at BreastscreenSA clinics between September 6, 2010, and June 30, 2012, because of a statistical anomaly which meant that 95 fewer than expected cancers had been detected.
How many people are affected?
54,000 SA women who had mammograms using digital screening in the period to June 30 this year.
How do I know if I'm one of them?
Even if you had a mammogram in the designated time frame, you may not be affected.
The review applies only to digital mammograms. Those conducted using the older analog technology are outside its scope. However it's likely you won't know which kind you had.
What happens next?
Letters are on their way to all 155,000 women who underwent mammograms - both digital and analog - in the period to June 30.
Women who had digital screening will be informed that their mamograms will be re-read and they will be advised if they are required to present for further screening.
BreastscreenSA clinical director Dr Gelareh Farshid said she expected in 99 per cent of cases, no abnormalities would be detected.
"We will be contacting you promptly as soon as we get the results of your re-read," she said. The process is expected to be completed by the end of April.
BreastscreenSA clinics will remain open during the Christmas holiday season to accommodate women whose mammograms were due between September and March.
What is breast cancer?
A malignant tumour that originates in the breast tissue, caused by cells growing and multiplying abnormally. In same cases these cells can spread (ie metastasise) to other parts of the body.
How many women get breast cancer?
One in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the time they reach 85. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women.
Is there more than one kind of breast cancer?
There are several different kinds, some of which are more serious than others. A mammogram will only pick up abnormalities in the breast. Further investigation is required to diagnose the type of cancer.
What are the survival rates?
The overall five-year survival rate for those diagnosed with breast cancer is more than 85 per cent. "If you survive for more than five years you are much more likely to be cured," said medical oncologist Professor Dorothy Keefe, who is director of the SA Cancer Service and chair of the Cancer Clinical Network.
What are the risk factors?
Being female, increasing age, family history, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, inheritance of gene mutations.
How important is family history?
Nine out of 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. However, if you have a close relative with breast cancer, your risk increases. For women with family history, Breastscreen recommends annual mammograms.
What about the breast cancer gene?
Mutations in the genes BRCA2, BRCA1 and CHEK2 are passed down through families and women who carry those genes are in a special high-risk group which tends to include younger women, who are not part of the screening group.
How successful is breast cancer screening?
Mammograms are very good at picking up cancers early, thus offering the best chance of a cure.
Breast cancers that present as a lump, or with pain, are usually more advanced and harder to cure.
What's the difference between digital and analog screening?
Digital imaging displays results on a screen, rather than on film which requires processing, thus allowing images to be enhanced, to be read on the spot, and also subjects women to lower rates of radiation.
How can I protect myself against breast cancer?
Having regular screening once you are over 50 is the best way to diagnose breast cancer early. For all women, regardless of age, regular self-examination is essential.
Maintain a healthy weight (see obesity, above).
Exercise regularly (women who exercise have a reduced risk compared with women who don't).
Eat a balanced diet, including five serves of vegetables and two of fruit daily.
Minimise alcohol consumption (your risk rises with every standard drink each day).
Don't smoke.
When should I start having mammograms?
Health authorities recommend that all women aged between 50 and 69 be screened every two years. Regular screening reduces by 40 per cent the risk of death from breast cancer for women in this age group. Research is less clear for women aged under 40 and over 70, but they are still eligible for free screening.
What should I be looking out for?
A new lump or lumpiness, especially if it's only in one breast; a change in the size or shape of your breast; a change to the nipple such as crusting, ulcer, redness or inversion; a nipple discharge that occurs without squeezing; a change in the skin of your breast such as redness or dimpling; an unusual pain that doesn't go away.
If I get a positive diagnosis, what are the options open to me?
There are a range of options, most often including surgery, which may be followed up with a course of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and/or homone treatment.
"Most people will be offered an operation," Prof Keefe said. "It can either be removal of the lump, removal of a section of the breast or the whole breast, as in a mastectomy, and most often there would be some investigation of the lymph nodes under the arm."
Follow-up treatment would be determined by the pathology on the tumour, "what the specific markers on the cells of the tumour are and the scans that you have at the time".
How long would treatment last?
"That depends of what sort of cancer you have," Prof Keefe said.
"Some women only need surgery and a short course of radiotherapy. Some need a course of chemotherapy for a few months as well, and some need hormone therapy for a number of years. But hormonal therapy is less toxic so it interferes less with quality of life."
What if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body?
"Metastatic breast cancer is very hard to cure but you can still live a long life of a very good quality," Prof Keefe said.
"Even for decades."
What happens if the cancer returns?
"Even if breast cancer comes back there are many things we can do to extend life and improve quality of life," Prof Keefe said. "The cure rates for breast cancer are going up."

Kona Zone Road Bike
|(0 Reviews)
Product DescriptionAn entirely new bike from Kona, our base model Zone uses a light and lively 6069 alloy frameset that mimics the geometry and ride features of our carbon Zone frameset. They include a carbon fork with a tapered steertube. The goal was to create a more affordable bike without eliminating any of the Zone platform attributes: sizing, features like internal rear-brake and derailleur cable routing, fender eyelets and room for up to 32c tires without fenders. With smooth welds, the Zone is a top-ranking road ride and a great option for GranFondo and endurance enthusiasts on a budget.

Hey Chuck,
It's not the best drawing, but the angle is almost impossible to hit from the "birdie zone". Those brown stars are all trees, many of which are over 100 ft high. The star on the top of the hill is about a 40 ft tree that really pinches the angle. You'd have to throw a shot high enough to clear the hill and the tree and then turn almost 90 degrees. If it fades out, you're in the wetlands, if it turns over, you're in the wetlands. Usually from the birdie landing zone the best shot is a soft turnover to the top of the hill just under the tree, or a big forehand stall shot over the tree and then crashing to the 175 ft landing zone.
The Eagle landing zone is really just opening up the angle. Now with two great long shots it is possible to hit the green. Does that make more sense now?
Sponsored Links
Yes. I just couldn't tell how tough it was to hit the angle to the pin from the birdie landing zone if you had enough power.
hey John, thanks again for fielding questions on here as time permits. Have you or anyone else on this board designed a course with NO trees? We are about to break ground on the 1st course in the Carson City/Carson Valley, Nv area and there is nothing but sage brush. The property sits on the foothills of the Sierras so there is a lot of elevation change along with a small canyon and dry wash. Some of the sage brush is 6ft tall so there are definately options for hiding baskets, placing them on slopes, and having them near the edges of the wash. We can probably utilize the canyon/wash for 6-9 holes for throwing over and around and making risk/reward shots but other than that we are finding a hard time making tee shots a challenge when there is no wind. The prevailing afternoon winds will definately make it a challenge. the plan is to have 12 par 3's and 6 par 4's. Any tips or advice from anyone would be highly appreciated!
Thanks, Mike
Wow, what a challenge with no trees. I have one thought for you. Sometimes when I have to put a hole in an open area where there are no trees I try to find where the land dropss away a little bit about 50' before you get to the basket. The effect I try to create is that due to the drop in terrain, the thrower cannot see about 18" to 2' of the bottom of the pole. This makes the basket look closer to the thrower than it really is. So, unless the thrower trusts the disctance on the tee sign there is a good possibility they will come up a little short and have a more challenging putt.
Sounds like using the ball golf "links" style hazard method might be needed. You can have areas marked as OB if you land in them and some could be Buncrs where you must move back to the edge of the buncr on the line of play but with no penalty.
topography and prevailing wind are viable hazards. As are large boulders. Incorporate all of these into your design and your course will be more difficult than you think.
I like Stan's suggestion about playing with the visual perspective. And Peterb's suggestion of using any prevailing winds could help you determine wher to place tees/pins for max effect.
Might be difficult to do, but you could try to position a few baskets where people are likely to have to putt over/around sagebrush/bushes from where their upshot lies, trying to deny them a straight run at the basket.

Trees provide visual perspective and aiming points...without them DG can be maddeningly difficult for a woods player...it's a different kind of golf in the open I say embrace it
Use the openness and create some cool greens where landing properly is optimal....incorporate slopes, boulders, etc. in different ways elevate a basket on a boulder....place a basket behind a boulder to promote drive/approach placement/ Use the wash to punish bad shots or long shots or short shots....in the open areas dont hesitate to place a wide open 280 footer out there...every course should have one of those I should absolutely 2 this hole every time but I messed up again moments...Nothing wrong with a hole like this as hole 1 or timed between 2 difficult par 4s etc
It sounds like fun terrain...let the imagination move you and disregard what the experts and other disc golfers think
I would say
I wouldnt get too crazy with the oob unless its the bottom of the wash or a safety concern......I'd hate to see the course get too gimmicked up when there are other more natural ways to make it difficult
try to think of ways to punish aggressive play and punish bad shots....don't think of good shots when designing....think of penalizing the bad shots and design from this paradigm

Clients Testimonials
For over 20 years Nigel and his professional team have provided our family with excellent service. Customers/clients are always respectfully treated and in emergency situations, the team at Autohaus step up to deal with this in a prompt and efficient manner. Why go anywhere else?
I recently took my car for a service to an Audi dealer and they said I needed all my brakes replaced and it was going to cost me just over $1,800. The car has only done 45,000km so I was shocked at the amount but the dealer claimed this was normal. I did a Google search to find an alternative and found Autohaus Northshore in Hornsby. I found them incredibly helpful and efficient. They supplied me with a quote on the phone and it was less than $1,000. They assured me all the parts they used were comparable to original parts and carried the same warranty. They worked on my car while I was up the road at Westfield Shopping Centre, which was very convenient for me. I'm very happy and will use them again in future.
There are some places that once you find you are just happy about your good fortune. Nigel and his crew are just that kind of place. The mechanics are tops and I have always had the best service which has kept me going back year after year.
Highly recommended. Honest, responsible, responsive and reasonable value + terrific service to boot! Found Nigel after receiving a horrendously expensive quote from Audi to replace a worn clutch, got it done for less than half the Audi quote, because Autohaus took the time to investigate and did what needed to be done. Great experience!

Critic review
Southampton Publick House brews and cooks. Go for very good beers and ales, and tasty, straightforward American fare that's a cut above the usual bar chow.
This used to be Herb McCarthy's Bowden Square, heady with Scotch and visits from celebrities. Now, come to the venerable address for potato-and-pale ale soup, shrimp cocktail, wraps and salads, burgers, marinated sirloin, baby back ribs and fish-and-chips.
At brunch, there's eggs Benedict, Belgian wafles, corned beef hash and the like. Wash everything down with the house brews and seasonal specialties.
The house sampler is a flight of 4-oz. tastes. Among the top brews are the Belgian-style Saison, Double White Ale, and Imperial Baltic Porter.
The food is about what you'd expect, with hamburgers, prime rib, baby back ribs, steaks, and grilled seafood leading the way.
Go with a group. --Peter M. Gianotti
The Bar Scene
It's a wide building, with the bar running along the back wall. There's a dining area, plus a section called "the taproom," where live performances take place. Outside, a large sheltered deck area has plenty of tables for warm-weather revelry.
Munich-style Southampton Golden Lager, brewed locally, is on tap.

Games of Status and Wealth and Status Part II: A Game Theoretic Approach
In Part I we provide a heuristic discussion of the motivation for the investigation of games of status. Here we confine our remarks to several alternative formulations of games of status and to exploring the relationship between these games and the class of simple games, in part using the results from Quint and Shubik (1997). A Game of Status is an $n$-player cooperative game in which the outcomes are orderings of the players. Notationally, suppose the player set is $N = \{1,...,n\}$. Then, outcomes are represented by permutations of $N$, where if $I$ occurs at position $j$ in the permutation, this is taken to mean that player $I$ attains the $j$th best position. For example, if $n=4$, the outcome in which player 3 comes in ``first place,'' player 1 comes in ``second place,'' player 4 comes in ``third place,'' and player 2 is ``last'' is represented by the permutation [3 1 4 2].$^1$ Let $r_{ij}$ denote the payoff that player $I$ obtains if he ends up in the $j$th position. We assume that $j \greaterthan k$ implies $r_{ij} \greaterthanor= r_{ik}$ for all $I$, i.e. players always desire to be placed as far ``up'' in the hierarchy as possible. Alternatively, a {\bf Game of Status with Ties} is a variant in which outcomes are allowed in which players ``tie'' for positions. For example, an outcome in the $n=4$ case could now be [3 1$T$4 2], which represents the situation in which player 3 again comes in ``first place'' and 2 again comes in ``last,'' but now players 1 and 4 come in tied for second place. In our current analysis, we consider only Games of Status without Ties, as we feel these should be eaiser to analyze. $^1$For now, we use the ``vector notation'' for the permutation. Later on, when we formalize the model, we will write this using a permutation matrix.

Pomfret Town Board approves emergency services contract with Fredonia
FREDONIA – A two-year contract for fire and emergency services with the village of Fredonia was approved Tuesday at a special meeting of the Pomfret Town Board. The current contract was set to expire at midnight on Tuesday.
The 1 p.m. session in Town Hall was held after a public hearing. Several town residents spoke out about the contract and asked board members to consider contracting with other fire departments that are situated closer to their homes than Fredonia.
The $420,000 contract for 2014 has an increase of $5,000 in 2015. Some of the residents thought that coverage could be supplied for less money if contracts were awarded to other companies.
Charles Skinner said his home on Shumla Road is about six miles from Fredonia's fire hall but only about three miles from Cassadaga's. He said he had issues with the way emergency services are handled as well. He told council members that he had to wait for a paid ambulance service to transport his son when the local volunteers were already on the scene. The volunteers "were told they could not transport him," said Skinner.
Ken Balling of Bear Lake Road said that Stockton's fire volunteers are much closer to his home and would be the first to respond to his home. He said that he tried to get a fire district formed in the town of Pomfret more than 20 years ago.
"I tried for more than five years and got tired of it," he said.
Balling said that the Fredonia Fire Department has to call rural volunteer companies to bring in tanker trucks with water to fight a fire in the areas outside the village. Several rural companies, including Stockton, Cassadaga, Brocton and Sheridan all have tanker trucks to haul water to locations where there are no hydrants.
"Realistically, you have to pass the contract, but in the next two years, let's do something," said Balling.
Councilwoman Patricia Christina said she would like to form a committee to look into the possibilities of other contracts. She said she would like more town residents to participate in meetings to talk about options for fire protection and emergency services.
"Right now we are in a situation where we have no exit," said Christina.
Jim DeJoe said he would also like the town board to consider another method of paying for the contract other than on a property tax assessment.
"The system should be divided equally among all property owners," he said.
Town Supervisor Don Steger agreed that the payment based on a property tax assessment may not seem fair.
Steger said that the $420,000 agreed to Tuesday is about one-third of the Fredonia Fire Department's annual budget for 2014.
Fredonia's fire department has a combination of paid firefighters and volunteers. The fire contract had been volleyed between the town of Pomfret and Fredonia Village board for several meetings.
Pomfret had sought a modification to a one-year contract. The request was turned down in Fredonia at the last regular meeting, when board members said they would only consider their original contract for two years.
