The Prep School Lacrosse Showcase enters its second year and features 260 of the top uncommitted prep lacrosse players from the Northeast area on June 3 at Brunswick School (Greenwich, Conn.).
It is the only lacrosse showcase that features only uncommitted players and all proceeds from the event go to local youth lacrosse organizations.
"This is something that is currently not available for most of these players," organizer Tim McDonnell said. "We have a small group of players who will absolutely be seen by college coaches."
Last year's event saw several players gain interest and eventually commit to Division I programs, including ESPN Top 50 junior Austin Shanks (Michigan) along with Austin Rocco (Yale) and A.J. Rocco (Yale).
Giving Back
In addition to giving underclassmen a chance to showcase their talents in front of college coaches, participating players will donate new or used lacrosse equipment to CityLax which is dedicated to developing lacrosse programs in New York City public schools and underserved communities in New York City high schools and middle schools.
"The New York City schools and communities we serve are part of the recent expansion of lacrosse, especially in urban areas," said CityLax CEO and president Mat Levine. "Those fortunate to play in private and boarding schools will be providing needed equipment to help the game grow in the less traditional areas of New York City's five boroughs."
Power Players
Among the programs being represented at the showcase are New England prep school powers Deerfield (Mass.), Salisbury School (Salisbury, Conn.) and Brunswich School (Greenwich, Conn.). Additionally, players from POWERADE FAB 50 programs St. Anthony's (South Huntington, N.Y.) and Georgetown Prep (North Bethesda, Md.) will be in attendance.
Players will be split up into teams and play in 50 minute games beginning at 10 a.m.
To get updates during the event, follow lacrosse editor Mike Loveday on Twitter @ESPNMike.

This is her labor and birth story…
I think labor started around 2AM Pacific time but it didn't really get my full attention until 4AM. I have never started labor without my water breaking first so this was all new. When I realized that I was definitely having labor contractions at 4AM I got out of bed and had a gush of water. It was obvious to me that my water had broken. SO…I was DEFINITELY in labor…FINALLY! I went in to the bathroom and noticed the bloody show and I was losing my mucus plug. I was so excited to be in labor as I was a week past my due date and had been ready to have the baby for so long. I let Mark know that I was in labor and that I was going to go downstairs to time contractions. They were pretty strong one and were roughly 4 to 6 minutes apart and lasting around 50 seconds. I was sure I'd have the baby by noon at that rate. As it turned out I was way off! I spent the morning downstairs while everyone else was sleeping. I made myself some oatmeal for breakfast and drank some of my PREP TEA (a special herbal blend from my midwife/ND that aids in labor and birth). I called my Mother, who lives in the Seattle area and she said she'd be on her way soon. Her plan was to come and stay for a few days to be here for the birth, to help with the children, and to help me, of course! I called my midwife/ND around 7:30 AM to let her know that I was in labor. She asked if she should cancel her 9AM appointment or if she should keep it. I told her there was no rush and to go ahead and keep it. She was cancelling the rest of her appointments for the day and was ready to come over whenever I needed her. All I had to do was call. I figured I'd call her when I felt the labor getting a bit more serious. As long as I was able to get around and do things between contractions I wasn't worried about having her here. I went back upstairs and Mark helped me to get the bed ready and then he set up the birthing tub. I took a shower and put on my makeup. I went downstairs and made two loaves of banana bread and got them in the oven. I was just trying to keep busy and distracted. I did some light cleaning and picking around the house. The children came down and were so excited to hear that the baby would be born that day. Mark did a good job of keeping them occupied so that I could just "do my thing". The contractions had spaced out to 7-9 minutes apart and were roughly 1 minute in duration at that point. They were VERY strong and required my full attention when I'd have them. I just breathed through them and tried to release all my tension and just ride the wave but I found it more difficult to do with this labor, but I still handled them very well, considering how strong they were. I decided to go upstairs to lay down for a while and alternate getting my feet up because of foot (not ankle) swelling. However, it made the contractions FURTHER apart and FAR MORE INTENSE! My Mom arrived around noon and took over the job of hanging out with the children. I was so relieved that she made it here before the baby came. I timed a few more contractions and they were back to 1 min., 15 sec. in duration. I didn't remember contractions being this intense...but I'm sure it's because it's one of those things we conveniently "forget" so we'll have more babies. ha ha. I had yet to call the midwife/ND to come over. Mark ran out to Lowes to get another component for the birth tub set up and I decided to call Dr. Frazer to come over upon his return. I was concerned that things would begin to go really quickly. Dr. Frazer arrived around 1 PM or a little after. We had lunch around 2:30. I made myself a delicious steak fajita with lots of veggies. I'd also been drinking a LOT of water all day long. During this time my contractions had spaced out to anywhere from 7 to 16 minutes apart. This was my first labor where they didn't progress at a steady rate…it kind of went backwards. Things had begun to change a little bit. The baby had definitely moved down really low and I had begun to feel a LOT of unrelenting pressure. Mark and the doctor went up to fill the birth tub so it would be ready when the time came. I still had the weird spacing of contractions but they were super intense. My doctor called her assistant midwife to come over around 3 PM. After she arrived we all just kind of sat around and visited. I checked out during contractions to just close my eyes and breathe through them. As soon as they were over I'd go back to visiting. I found that standing through the contractions made them a little less intense than if I were sitting and WAY less intense than they'd been when I had gone up to lie in bed earlier in the day. This labor was so different from my first two, as I preferred sitting through the contractions on a couch with them. I think it's because I had so much pressure in my bottom that sitting made it far more difficult! Anyhow…the contractions did begin to get MORE intense and a little longer, though still erratically spaced. I started getting what I would call antisocial just after 6PM and let everyone know I was going upstairs to my bedroom to be alone. I think climbing the stairs did something for my labor because that's when the contractions started coming really close and I could feel the baby move down. Fortunately my husband had followed me upstairs to help me if I needed it. I decided it was definitely time to get in the tub after a couple of contractions in the bathroom. My midwife checked baby's position while I was in there and she was finally in the birthing position…just right there, ready to come out!!! She and her assistant went in the guest bedroom to wait until I needed them. I'm not one that likes to have a lot of people just sitting around and looking at me while I'm in the intense part of labor. So I told them I'd call them in when I started feeling "pushy" with my contractions. I got in with a helping hand from my husband then got right back out to use the restroom...empty the bladder. I had SOOO much pressure and was just sure I needed to have a BM (well...all day I felt this way) but I never had it so intensely with my other two labors. Never did have the BM...It was just the baby pressure. Anyhow, I got in the birth tub with my husband standing by to help if I needed anything. The baby was born like 12 minutes later. My first or second contraction in the tub I felt a little "pushy" so I told my husband to let the midwives know and they came on in. The next contraction I did push and felt a little sting so I knew the head was right there wanting out. My husband told my mom to bring up the kids because they wanted to be there when the baby was born. Then on the next contraction the head came out, they checked for a cord around the neck and there wasn't so on the third contraction and pushing session the rest of her little body slipped out. I got to bring her up out of the water to my chest myself. I hadn't done that with the others. It was so sweet. Anyhow...She was absolutely perfect. She had good APGAR scores and was so alert. She had a perfectly round head…not cone headed at all. LOTS of black hair…with blonde eyebrows, so I'm guessing she'll follow in her sibling's footsteps and turn blonde before too long. I was hoping for ONE redheaded baby since I have red hair. Guess I'll just have to have another! Ha ha. I had no tearing or anything…just a little "skid mark" that isn't even bothering me. Anyhow it took half an hour to deliver the placenta (I HATE THAT PART). They had already cut the cord because it stopped pulsing and let my husband hold her while I delivered the placenta. Then I got into my bed and got to feed the baby and rest. AHHHH…nothing as wonderful in the whole world as finally resting after pushing a baby out! Anyhow, we had a good night, she ate well, and all of her bodily functions were working properly. She was so alert and making all those cute little baby noises! It was such a wonderful and bonding experience for the children as well. I wasn't sure initially that I'd want them to see the birth but they both wanted to. We had discussed all the things they might see or hear so they were prepared. Fortunately with a water birth there's nothing really to SEE like you would in an out of water birth so basically they just got to see the baby coming up from the water to my chest, which was covered with a shirt, by the way. They got to sit with their Papa and adore the newly born baby. My midwife showed them the placenta and explained what all the parts were and what their function was…so it was a learning experience for them as well. They were really intrigued by everything. All in all the whole experience couldn't have been better for all of us.
That makes THREE wonderful water births for me!!!
The world today is upside down because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have no time for each other. Everybody is in such a terrible rush, and so anxious…and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.

Metal drain thefts in Selby
12:00am 17th August 2011
Thieves in Selby are targetting metal drain and grate covers.
It's causing a major hazard for road users and pedestrians.
Over 20 have been stolen in the last few days.
The Highways Agency has reported thefts from Burn Lane, Burn, New Road in Gateforth and Rawfield Lane, Fairburn.
The thefts, which are believed to be linked, follow a previous report of 13 metal grates being stolen from the A162 Selby Bypass on 29th July 2011.
Inspector Richard Abbott, of Selby Rural Safer Neighbourhood Team says:
"Not only is stealing metal storm drains and grates an illegal practice it is also potentially putting the residents of Selby District in danger.
"All it takes is for a motorcyclist to hit a hole in the road where a drain cover should have been or for a car wheel to get stuck and we could have a serious injury or even a fatality on our hands.
"It is also a hazard for cyclists and pedestrians and I am urging anyone who knows who is responsible for these thefts to contact the police as soon as possible."
Inspector Abbott urged people living in or travelling through the area to look out for anyone apparently working at the roadside and call the police if they are suspicious.
He said:
"We suspect that the same people are responsible for the current incidents that we are investigating.
"They may appear as if they are workmen operating beside the road and they certainly seem to be doing a professional job of removing the covers, however we need to put a stop to their crimes, therefore any information could be important.
"The drain covers are fairly heavy which suggests that there is more than one person committing these thefts and will probably be using a van or a flatbed truck to load the metal on to."
Officers also believe that the thieves could also be using road signs to make it look as if they are genuine workmen.
Anyone who can help the police with their enquiries is urged to contact Selby police on 0845 60 60 24 7, quoting reference number 12110134621.
Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.

A damages payment for the loss of earnings in the course of employment due to racial discrimination has been held by a recent Tax Tribunal to be tax-free.
The tax treatment of termination and related payments to exiting employees is a complicated area. Moreover, reviews as part of HMRC PAYE audits are relatively common and incorrect characterisations are expensive.
Broadly, payments may be taxed as normal employment income or termination payments but, if not caught by these two charging provision, can be completely tax-free.
- Normal employment income would include contractual entitlements, bonuses and payments which an employer is entitled to make on termination of employment through contractual provisions (so-called contractual PILONs). These are subject to income tax and NICs in full.
- If, and only if, not taxable under the normal employment income head, other payments on termination – for example, genuinely ex gratia amounts or damages – normally fall to be taxed as termination payments. This is a much more tax-favourable category as these payments are (currently) entirely free from NICs and in most cases benefit from at least a £30,000 exemption. This means that many smaller payments escape tax altogether.
- However, if payments are not caught as employment income or as a termination payment, then, because there is no relevant taxing provision, they can be completely tax-free.
The employee worked at a London financial institution and claimed that he had received lower remuneration than he should have received by reference to the profits earned by his own trading and relative to his peers, and that the reason for this was racial discrimination. He had made his complaints over a number of years. This culminated in him raising formal grievances at a time when he was being considered for redundancy. He was made redundant. He was initially offered just statutory redundancy pay and an ex gratia payment of c. £50,000, but within a few days was offered a further sum of £600,000 to settle all claims.
Tax treatment
In due course HMRC asked the financial institution questions about the £600,000 payment, and the disputed tax treatment ended up being considered by the Tax Tribunal.
It was accepted in this case that the payment could not be a termination payment because, although made on termination of employment, it related to matters considerably prior to termination. The case therefore turned on whether the payments could be treated as normal employment income or whether they were altogether tax-free.
The tribunal held that the payments were for not contractual entitlements (on the basis of promises made, for example, for which there was some evidence, and which is what HMRC primarily alleged). Instead they were for breach of the right not to suffer racial discrimination.
HMRC also argued that even if the payments were for racial discrimination and not contractual, they should be taxed as normal employment income as they were calculated by reference to lost earnings which would have been taxable in full if they had been paid in the proper course. However, the tribunal pointed out that the mere fact that damages are calculated by reference to what could have been paid does not make them earnings or a reward in an employment context, which is what is needed to make the payments employment income for tax purposes.
As always, much turns on the evidence presented, and here there was oral evidence from the employee but no direct evidence from the employer.
Employees may therefore put more pressure on employers to apportion amounts to discrimination claims in general. Accepting this characterisation can be unpalatable for employers, however, even though in this case there was no direct acceptance by the employer that there had been racial discrimination (which was one of the reasons HMRC used to argue that the payments must have been for contractual employment claims for loss of earnings instead). The potential publicity and precedent (eg in the public sector) which could result might be difficult for an employer to accept. In addition, because this is just a first-instance judgement caution may still mean that employers may wish to get clearance from HMRC on the tax treatment in large claims or obtain an indemnity from an employee in appropriate cases. In this area, and with awards for discrimination potentially sizeable, the stakes are high. The difference between taxable and tax-free can easily be a six-figure dispute with HMRC.
Note too that not all payments for discrimination are tax-free. Where the discrimination itself is the termination of the employment or what leads to the termination of the employment, payments for lost earnings etc. would be treated as sufficiently connected to termination to be taxable as termination payments and it would only be any damages awarded for distress that would not be taxable. In this tribunal case, redundancy was what triggered the end of the employment and it was only then that the employee mounted legal claims for what he had been arguing for some time. Those payments could therefore not form part of the termination proceedings.
As a concluding remark, quite whether there is any overriding policy justification for the way that tax law has developed in this area into extreme complexity is of course one reason why the Office of Tax Simplification has recommended that the law is brought together and considerably simplified – but, as this case shows, in some instances this would be at the expense of some extremely tax-favourable results for employees and employers alike.

Investors' appetite for riskier assets such as stocks is continuing to be on the wane, with markets overnight posting modest losses and U.S. stock futures pointing to a lower start in North America.
A few things have traders worried this morning. Spain is showing reluctance to seek help from the euro zone's rescue funds, an indication that it could be a bumpy road in the overall fight to ease the euro zone debt crisis. Rising political tensions between China and Japan is raising concern about their trade relationship. And a key earnings report from bellwether FedEx this morning has once again put the slowing global economy back in focus.
Fedex reduced its 2013 guidance to $6.20 from $6.60 a share, compared to an earlier prediction of $6.90 to $7.40. It did, however, actually beat its first-quarter forecast, earning $1.45 a share in the period versus its expectations of $1.40. Shares in FedEx are down 2.3 per cent in the premarket at $87.20 (U.S.)
One bright spot in the world of equities, as it often has been lately, is Apple. In the post market on Monday, its shares breached the $700 mark for the first time ever after announcing earlier in the day it had sold out of pre-orders for the new iPhone 5. In the premarket this morning, shares are up 0.3 per cent at $701.85.

Canadian dollar down 0.0009, or 0.09 per cent, at 1.0250 (U.S.)
Advanced Micro Devices should come under heavy selling pressure this morning after its CFO, Thomas Seifert, resigned late Monday. AMD said he stepped down "to pursue other opportunities" but investors appear concerned, with the stock down 4.7 per cent in the premarket.
Shares of Dole Food jumped more than 5 per cent in premarket trading after the company struck a deal to sell its global packaged-foods unit and its Asia fresh produce business for nearly $1.69-billion (U.S.) to Japan's Itochu Corp.
Other earnings out today include Manchester United.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported that the current account deficit narrowed to $117.4-billion, shrinking more than the $126.8-billion that economists had forecast. It was the narrowest since the third quarter of 2011 as the country imported fewer goods while income earned on U.S. assets abroad increased.

U.S. retailers believe it's going to be a merry Christmas, with sales in the second half of this year forecast to rise 3.6 per cent from 2011, the biggest increase in at least four years.
The boom in American corporate profits, which has far outpaced the gains in the broader economy since the end of the last recession, is faltering.
This week marks the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement. These figures may not make demonstrators too happy. Over the past year, the S&P 500 has risen 20 per cent. The S&P 500 financial sector? 25 per cent.

Two Montana Properties Earn Four Diamond Awards
HELENA, Mont., (January 11, 2013) – AAA is proud to announce two Montana lodgings have earned the coveted AAA Four Diamond Award®. This year's recipients are the Lodge at Whitefish Lake in Whitefish and the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Emigrant. These two establishments are in an elite group of 1535 hotels throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean that received the Four Diamond Rating in the past 12 months, qualifying them for the 2013 Four Diamond Award list.
"The Four and Five Diamond Ratings are the highest designations awarded by AAA," says club spokeswoman Kaelyn Kelly. "Receiving a Four Diamond Award signifies these properties continue to go above and beyond the mark of excellence in the hospitality industry."
In 2012, AAA revised its Approval Requirements & Diamond Rating Guidelines for lodgings to reflect changing traveler expectations, making the Four Diamond distinction even more difficult to achieve. Today's travelers are demanding more amenities from lodgings like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions and eco-friendly designs.
"The Lodge at Whitefish Lake and the Mountain Sky Guest Ranch both provide extensive services and amenities to visitors in plush and luxurious surroundings," says Kelly. "The personalized service and attention to detail they deliver ensures each and every guest leaves with an unforgettable experience."
AAA rates more properties than any other rating entity and is the only rating system that covers the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. It is the only comprehensive on-site inspection program of its kind, using published guidelines to evaluate, approve and rate lodgings and restaurants on a scale of One to Five Diamonds. For 76 years AAA has used professional inspectors to conduct in-person property inspections and publish the results for member travelers.
Listings of AAA Approved and Diamond Rated hotels and restaurants can be accessed in the downloadable eTourBook® guides at AAA.com/ebooks, online at AAA.com/travel and in the TourBook® guides available at AAA and CAA offices. Travelers with smartphones can access Diamond Rated property listings using the AAA Mobile free app.
AAA MountainWest is dedicated to providing its over 180,000 members in Alaska, Montana and Wyoming with travel, insurance, financial and auto-related services. A fully tax-paying, not-for-profit corporation, AAA MountainWest, Inc. works for the improvement of motoring and traveling conditions and is a leader for travel, civic and safety issues.

Preschoolers are able to manipulate handwriting materials with more ease. They enjoy using a variety of pencils, crayons, and markers to create purposeful works of art. They set out with a goal and take pride in their accomplishments. Cutting paper, molding clay, and stringing beads are favorite activities in our preschool classrooms.
Preschool children are becoming more active craving activities that strengthen their arms and legs. Jumping, throwing, kicking, and running are important skills to sharpen at this age group. Animal movements, red light green light, and follow the leader are all great games to play with preschoolers.
As children grow they begin to have an understanding of feelings and how their actions affect others. They often show signs of varying emotions like pride and embarrassment. The preschool children will be comforted and understood even at times when they make mistakes. When children know that they are valued they will become secure and feel safe in their school environment.
Preschoolers really enjoy playing with their classmates. The children finally have the skills to engage in cooperative meaningful play. They separate into small groups and mimic what they have learned about their world. They use home living to become mommy, daddy, or even Fido their pet dog. The block center becomes a construction zone with all of the emergency vehicles ready to go in case of an emergency. They set the scene, pick their characters, and play it out. With encouragement from their teachers each child is included in pretend play.
Preschoolers use language to problem solve with their peers. They can explain what is upsetting them and are encouraged to work to find a solution. In the beginning this developing skill takes full assistance from the teachers. After many problems solving sessions the children begin to use their language to solve simple problems on their own. They are learning that language is a powerful tool. They often enjoy putting on puppet shows, reading stories to each other, and making up their own songs as they now have the gift of language.
Providing preschoolers with puzzles, matching games, and memory games will give them opportunities to use their thinking skills. Preschoolers are always up to a challenge. They are able to sort, match, and organize materials with greater ease. They are always looking for a mission and will have great confidence when they are set up for success.

Redhawks men take big early lead, roll to win
Seattle U takes an 11-0 lead, goes on to rout Texas-Pan American for its first conference win.
EDINBURG, Texas — This is how to take the home team's crowd out of the game.
Score the first 11 points of the game and never give the other team a hint that it can come back.
That's how the Seattle University men's basketball team handled Texas-Pan American on Saturday in a 64-46 Western Athletic Conference victory.
The game was 5½ minutes old before the Broncs finally scored, on a three-pointer, to cut their deficit to 11-3. Texas-Pan American never got any closer than that.
Seattle U (9-7, 1-2 WAC) led 30-17 at halftime and stretched the lead to as many as 26 points in the second half.
Deshaun Sunderhaus had 22 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Redhawks. The 6-foot-9 sophomore forward tied his season high in scoring, which he set on Thursday against New Mexico State.
Isiah Umipig added 16 points, six rebounds and seven assists for Seattle University.
The Redhawks won the rebounding battle 43-24
Texas Pan-American (4-14, 0-3) was led by Javorn Farrell's 14 points.

Carry in favour?
The carry trade has been infamously likened to picking up small coins in front of a steamroller. Following the demise of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the steamroller hit. Popular funding currencies soared, while target currencies depreciated as carry trades unwound. From September 15 to December 17 last year, for example, the yen rose by 17.05% to reach Yen87.79 to the US dollar. Over the same period, the New Zealand dollar slumped by 12.03% to hit NZ$1.70 to the US dollar on December 17.

wikiHow to Tell a Girl You Like Her over Text
Three Parts:Establishing a ConnectionRamping Up Your TextingAsking Her OutCommunity Q&A
Telling a girl you like her via text message has its merits. It's ideal when you talk to her more over text than in person, or if you feel too shy to admit your feelings face to face. Try to get to know your crush by hanging out in person and chatting over text. Then, if you confess your feelings and ask her out on a fun date, she'll definitely get the message that you like her.
Part 1
Establishing a Connection
1Get to know your crush a bit. Your crush may be the prettiest person in the woodwind section, but if you don't know anything about her, how can you know if she's someone you'd want to date? Try to notice the important things about her: if she treats her friends well; if she's nice to little kids and less popular people; if she's passionate about something cool. Make sure you like both her personality and her face before trying to date her.
2Hang out in person. If you go to school together, or have friends in common, figure out a way to talk to your crush a bit in a low-pressure situation. For example, you and your lab partner could collaborate with her and her lab partner or a project. If you want to see her outside of school, maybe she and her friends can come out with you and your friends.[3] Say "Ellen and Tyree and I are going bowling after school--want to come with us? You can bring other people, too."
- If you don't have any friends in common, start by simply talking to her. Don't use a pickup line or anything like that. Just smile, greet her by name, and ask about something you both have in common. Say something like "Hi, Bethany! Have you gotten the hang of the new choir piece yet?"
- Group hangs are fun, but they aren't the same as dates. Remember that you aren't on a date unless both people know it's a date.[4] This means it's no fair to act like you're inviting a ton of friends to the movies, when you're only inviting her.
3Figure out if she likes you. Girls aren't a different species, and they don't need to be decoded. You won't be able to know if she likes you just because she plays with her hair or touches your shoulder a certain amount of times. What you can tell is if she enjoys spending time with you. If her face lights up when she sees you, or if you have a great time swapping jokes whenever you hang out, you're probably on the right track.
- If a girl touches your arm or shoulder a lot, it's a sign that she feels comfortable around you, which is a good sign.[5]
- If she initiates plans with you (for instance, by signaling that she wants to be conversation partners in Spanish class), that means she enjoys your company.[6]
- If conversation flows naturally when you're together, you probably have both mutual interests and compatible communication styles. That's also good news.
4Get your crush's number. Once you're friendly, and if you're still interested in your crush, take the next step and get her phone number. If you both hang out and talk already, this won't be a outrageous request, so stay calm.
- When you ask, say something simple and matter of fact, like "Can we trade numbers? I want to be the first to hear your opinions on the new Marvel movie."[7]
- If you're working on a project together, this'll be even more natural. Say "We'll probably need to meet over the weekend to lay out the newspaper together. Can I text you?"
- You can also make this part of planning a group hang. Say "I'm stoked for the concert with you, Brian, and Jessica. Can I have your number so we can make sure we meet in the same place?"
Part 2
Ramping Up Your Texting
1Start with a brief greeting. When you've started texting your crush, it's best to begin in a friendly, open-ended way. A salutation and question initiates conversation, and allows you to gauge whether she's busy or preoccupied. For example, send a text that says "Hi, what are you up to?" or "Hello, how are you today?"
- Don't just say "hi" or "hey." It sounds lazy, and she might not know what to say in response.[8]
- Use follow-up questions, too. All girls--all people--like to feel that they're interesting. Ask her to tell you more about her quirky dance teacher, her semifinal softball game, or what it's like to babysit her little brother.[9]
2Text with good spelling and grammar. Texting etiquette is complicated. For instance, everyone knows that ending every text with a period makes you sound angry. You don't need to write an English paper, but do your best to check your spelling and not put commas where they don't belong. This will show her that you like her enough to put thought into your writing.[10]
- "Hi, what's up? Is the math homework destroying you as badly as it's destroying me?" looks a lot better than "hi whats ^ is the math hmwrk killing u 2"
3Text in the evening. Most people are more relaxed in the evening, following a busy day at school or work. You'll have more time to respond to each other's thoughts this way. Plus, communicating with her at night can feel more romantic than telling her you like her in broad daylight.[11]
- Make sure not to text after bedtime, which can feel invasive. Wind down the texts after 10 PM or so.[12]
4Text when you know she won't be busy. You want to be able to give your full attention to the conversation, and you want her to be able to give you attention too. This means that it's best not to text her when she's told you about other plans. If she's told you that she's going out with friends, for instance, give her a little space. You can always text her tomorrow and ask how her girl's-night-out went.[13] It works the other way, too--don't text her right before a movie if you know you'll be distracted.
5Steer the conversation in a positive direction. The more upbeat and positive the conversation, the more receptive a girl will be when you tell her you like her. Try to stay away from negative topics that can ruin the mood, such as problems at school or work, or controversial subjects that can upset her and turn conversation sour.
- Talk about pop culture you have in common. If you're both giant Potterheads, ask how she feels about the new movie trailer.
- Joke about something in your daily life you both share. If the school lunch was an inedible casserole, ask if she's having nightmares about it too.[14]
6Revisit topics you've discussed before. This shows you're a good listener and that you care, and that you pay attention to everything she shares with you. For example, if she once mentioned that she likes bowling, ask about her highest score or favorite alley.[15]
7Give a sincere compliment. This is often more effective than telling a girl you like her, because it shows you understand her and recognize her best qualities. For example, if you like her knowledge of comics, tell her that you learn something new about the X-Men every time you talk to her.[16]
- Avoid complimenting your crush's physical characteristics, like her body or eyes, at this stage. It can come off as creepy.[17]
- If your crush has recently rocked a performance or other big event, congratulate her on her skills.
8Don't over-text. Texting is fun, but too much of it can become really intense. If you're texting your crush for several hours a day, it might be time to dial it back a bit. This is especially true if you seem to be putting more effort into your texts than she is.[18]
- If you text your crush twice and she doesn't respond, back off for a while.[19] If she's into you, she'll text you again when she's ready.
- Don't go too far in the other direction and never text her back. You may be trying to play it cool, but if she feels ignored, she'll feel bad.
Part 3
Asking Her Out
1Plan what you want to say. You don't need to write yourself a perfect script, but take a little time and figure out when and how to tell your crush that you're into her. If you think ahead a little bit, you're less likely to fumble and forget yourself, or blurt out something too intense ("I've had a crush on you for seven years!").
- Consider that it's often better to ask someone on a clearly-defined date. This way, you're telling her that you like her and giving her an opportunity for an action plan.[20]
- Know how you'll deal if you're rejected. Rejection happens to everyone, and it's not the end of the world. It's easiest to say something like "Thank you for telling me! I enjoy hanging out with you as friends, so no worries," take a bit of space, then return to the friendship after a couple weeks.[21]
2Tell her you enjoy spending time together. This is a confident, indirect way to tell a girl you like her without actually saying you like her. Send this text after hanging out together, or even after an official date. Say something like "I had fun with you tonight and enjoyed your company! Can't wait to do it again."
3Tell her that you like her. Be simple and direct. This shows that you're confident and feel strongly enough about your feelings that you're willing to admit it word for word. Make your statement more personal by sharing what you like most about her. For example, say "I'm into you because you're so passionate about social justice," or "I like you because you're sunny enough to brighten anyone's day."[22]
- Just like when you're complimenting a girl, mention something specific about her personality that you like. Tell her that she cracks you up whenever you hang out, or that her commitment to saving the environment is powerful and cool.
4Ask her out. Now that you've laid your feelings bare, you probably want to take your relationship a step further by dating. The only way to date a girl is, of course, to go on a date with her. After you've told her you like her, invite her on an outing for just the two of you. Make it clear that it's not a "group hang" or a casual thing--it's a real date.
- When you're asking someone out, always suggest a specific date and time. Say something like "Want to get deep-dish and see the school play Friday night?" This way, if she likes you but can't make it, she'll reschedule. If she's not interested, it'll be a lot easier on your feelings to hear "I'm sorry, I can't make it" then "I don't feel that way about you."[23]
- Plan the date around things you both like. If you're both into mini-golf and milkshakes, ask "Want to go to my favorite range on Thursday after school? We can stop by the diner for milkshakes after."[24]
Community Q&A
- Try complementing your text messages with emoticons, which can seem cute and endearing at the time you're telling her you like her. For example, before sending the text that states you like her, attach an emoticon of a heart, or a happy face with eyes made of hearts.

This thing sounds great. I got it on clearance on another website, I have a ton of sub experience and it was an insane bargain, I beat this thing all day long and it still has that new sub rebound, its basically a CVR coil with a square cone which I guess is the reason they discontinued it.
Pros: sounds great at all low frequencies, not a feature usually associated with Kicker.
Cons: discontinued....

What did Tevez and Nasri's t-shirts mean?
Manchester City's action-packed season-opener against Southampton had it all - five goals in a match that could have gone either way, a penalty missed by David Silva and Sergio Aguero getting injured - as the champions started with a victory.
But among all the drama were two puzzling moments as first Carlos Tevez then Samir Nasri celebrated their goals by revealing T-shirts with baffling words written upon them.
So what did those messages mean?
First up was Tevez, whose shirt read "Lugano 1 y 2", which was apparently a reference to the apartment block in which he grew up in Buenos Aires.
It was a natural progression from the T-shirt he displayed after scoring in the charity shield, which read "Fuerte Apache" in reference to his old neighbourhood. He'll have to up the ante again next time: his specific apartment number is an obvious next step then we can probably expect messages like "bedroom at the back" or perhaps "bottom bunk".
Nasri, who is of Algerian extraction, decided to celebrate with a T-shirt message saying "Eid Mubarak", which is usually translated into English as "blessed festival", and is the traditional greeting given by Muslims to each other on the Eid ul-Fitr holiday.

Sponsoring an Informational Tenants' Meeting on Rent Regulation
On October 29, U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler and I sponsored an informational meeting on rent regulation facilitated by the New York State Tenants & Neighbors Coalition. Rent regulation benefits all New Yorkers, whether or not they live in a rent-regulated apartment, and is one of the main reasons that New York is such a racially and economically diverse, dynamic, vibrant and exciting place. At the meeting, Mary Tek of Tenants & Neighbors discussed with an enthusiastic group of tenants recent housing bills passed by the New York State Legislature and New York City Council, the campaign for rent regulation reform and pending legislation, and how to become involved in the fight to strengthen and preserve affordable housing.
We anticipate further meetings to strengthen the valuable support network we have begun to build. If you are interested in attending, please contact Belinda Cape in my office at (212) 633 8052 or email@example.com. Also, Tenants and Neighbors has a series of informative workshops on a wide range of housing issues, which can be found at www.tenantsandneighbors.org/workshops.html.


text: We have a 98 s10 that is getting tired of hauling firewood and I am asking $800 I may be starting a new job soon and we drive 60 miles a day round trip as of right now however we will need two vehicles for the new job. This puts us at 120 miles a day between two cars ! There is a member here who has a pickup I would love to buy for firewood hauling and plan on buying if I can. There is a ford ranger in my garage I am restoring as a good winter 4*4 truck for work and back. So hear is the question- 1998 S10 2wd 2.2L 4cyl Auto 217,000 miles AC Rusty It is mechanically good as I take care of my cars myself. The motor still runs good however the body looks like a Michigan rusty body. What should I ask for the price ? Yesterday a gentleman called on it and looked at it then procedded to tell me it had a blown head gasket I explained I do all my own work on it and hardly ever pay unless I get in over my head ( which happens on occasion ) so it is in good shape. This is how most of the viewings have gone they all give me some bs about what's wrong with it and that they won't give me any more than $100 dollars ! There is nothing mechanically wrong it's just old. I think there is a price / age thing because no one over 20 has bothered looking and all the 20's think they are full blown mechanics. This is frustrating because I usually run vehicles straight into the ground before I get rid of them instead of selling them. Any advice on how to handle this would be appreciated. Pete

Anaheim 2 turned out to be a big day for the Wonder Warthog Racing team and one of their intern riders, Chris Blose. Chris became the first WWR Intern to qualify for a Supercross Lites main event this year when he came in third in the LCQ.
Dana "K Kellstrom, founder of the Dana K Internships, said, "We knew Chris was going to break through, the way he's been working his butt off every week. He's getting great starts with the MDK Speed motors and I'm sure he'll improve even more as the season progresses.
Jeff Tomlinson, WWR's chief of logistics, said the team is starting to work out the kinks that come with running the biggest Supercross team in history. "We finally got over the hump. Everything was new the first week and a lot of the parts came last minute; it was a real challenge to make everything fit. Now I've had a couple weeks to put everything together a couple times, and we've got everything down to a routine," said Tomlinson. "It was much easier this week (at Anaheim 2); we even had time to take a lunch break," he was happy to report.
This week also saw changes in the rider lineup for the WWR team. Brady Sheren was dropped from the Intern program, and although he was offered a spot in the Hog Haven, Brady declined when he found a ride with Team Solitaire. Following Sheren's departure, Adam Chatfield was promoted from Hog Haven to the intern position. "This was always my understanding of how the WWR system works — work hard and you'll get rewarded, said 19 year-old Adam. "I feel great about this ride and testing so far shows just how good their bikes are. I'll be ready in San Francisco, for sure. Additionally, Ramon Guzman joined the Hog Haven riders to bring the team back to eleven after a few riders went down with injury back at A1.
WWR Supercross riders that qualified for the A2 night program:
- Antonio Balbi
- Ted Campbell
- Jacob Saylor
WWR Lites riders that qualified for the A2 night program:
- Chris Blose
- Charles Castloo
- Adam Chatfield
- Ryan Grantom
- Ramon Guzman
- Clay Higgins
- Vernon McKiddie
- Brady Sheren

They met at a local mosque.
The happy couple met, where else, in a mosque.
An alleged underage marriage was uncovered this week when a 12-year-old child bride and her 26-year-old husband tried to apply for spousal benefits, according to government sources.
Centrelink sources say the girl was removed from the home she shared with her 26-year-old "husband" hours after enquiring about what support would be available to a spousal visa holder on Wednesday morning.
The man was arrested by detectives from the Child Abuse Squad and charged with 25 counts of sexual intercourse with a child.
Newcastle Muslim Association president Bikash "Shahriar" Paul said the accused man was an "occasional" worshipper at a mosque in the Hunter Valley region north of Sydney, where he met the girl.
The girl's father — who converted to Islam about 18 years ago following a battle with drugs, gambling and alcohol abuse
Detectives investigating the case said the father was ''shocked'' that his daughter's 26-year-old husband was arrested and charged with more than two dozen child sex offences last week.
Police will allege the girl was married to the accused during an Islamic ceremony in her father's backyard. But detectives say their union was not official.
The child bride then moved to south-west Sydney with her ''husband'', after they were given permission by the girl's father.
The accused had been living in Australia on a student visa and attending university. It is understood he had no ties with the town he was living in but met the under-age victim through a local mosque.
One neighbour said before they moved in they had mistakenly gone to the wrong house for an inspection. She said she saw the girl wearing a pink hijab and her partner apologised for the intrusion.
A leading Islamic health services counsellor has warned that hundreds of children as young as eleven are being sent overseas to be married after being "shopped" on Facebook.
Clearly this is a situation that can only improve as more Australians convert to Islam and marry their 12-year-old daughters off to Muslim men.

- Writing/Journalism/News
The focus of these internships is on honing one's writing skills, mostly in a newspaper or newsleader environment. Many employers desperately need people who know how to write.
- Strategic Communication
These internships are often offered by advertising, public relations, and marketing firms as well as media outlets, corporate entities and even non-profits. The tasks vary widely, but generally students are given substantial responsibilities involving tasks as varied as strategizing audiences and campaigns, marketing research, writing press releases and ads, planning events, and more.
- Production/Research
Many of these internships involve the student in the actual creation of a broadcast, presentation, newsletter, or some other type of communication event.
- Internet
Internships focusing on the Internet often involve students participating in the creation and/or maintenance of an organization's social media presence, website, or intranet.
- Broadcast media
Broadcast internships includes student in every aspect of the making of a news broadcast, sometimes with the student getting some onair time.
- General
Internships in this category cover quite a bit of territory, from human resource management to health care involvement to sales. This grouping is sort of a catch-all for opportunities that do not fit neatly into any of the other categories.

If you are an agile team, you are going to love TFS 2010 and especially it's crucial dashboard capabilities that help you better plan and track your time. Software estimates are an art more than a science and it is one of the keys to growth for an individual developer at Microsoft. In short, accurate estimating is one sign of a seasoned developer. The success of projects are directly tied to the team's accuracy at estimating. I recently received an email from a partner group here at Microsoft who was complaining at our "estimation" – the ironic thing is that this partner developer was making his complaint in a vacuum. He had no insight whatsoever into what our developers had on their plate. Had the developer been interested, they could have reviewed everything on our plate and understood better the overall estimates. The estimates, often, will include not just development of the fix but also testing such as adding a regression test.
The key "gap" we found in using TFS 2010's MSF Agile template is an issue with the Bug work item type. If you are driving your business on estimation and accuracy of those estimates then you are missing a key component of Agile software development. According to Ken Schwaber and SCRUM for Team System, the concept of "bugs" are non-existent and a bug is simply a block of work that is formed as a "task" for the team to accomplish. In MSF Agile, you can at least effectively assign a bug directly to an individual on your team such as a developer which in our case was a major step up. However, ironically, when we ask the developer to please estimate the cost for the bug as we get closer to release we noticed that we had to keep these outside of TFS (like Excel) due to the lack of scheduling components in the bug work item.
A workaround for the lack of estimates included in the bug template, with TFS 2010's linking functionality, is to create a "Task" work item that then links to the bug opened by your tester or users. Thus, for each bug you will double your number of items – one for the "work" and the "other" for tracking the bug's history (build version found, etc.). Lots of work …
It doesn't make a lot of sense if folks knew how easy it is to add "estimating" & "scheduling" into the bug work item type. In today's post, I will walk you through this easy process as to maybe help someone out there who doesn't like the workaround either.
TFS 2010 Power Tools: Your friend to work item template editing
The first step unless you are a seasoned TFS veteran is to grab the TFS 2010 Power Tools as it provides you the ability to utilize the work item template editor. This simple user interface provides you the ability to add fields, visualize the layout, and to some degree offers the ability to validate your update.
Editing Directly from Server versus Offline
The power tool gives you the ability to edit the work items directly (online) or to export/import from a file. For the purposes of this post, I'm going to show this functionality by editing it directly but may I recommend you *not* do this. Instead, my recommendation is that you add a source control entity to store your changes. This allows you all the benefits of source control such as versioning, check-in comments, and history. Very nice when you are editing the templates often like I find myself doing!
First Step: Understand the data you are using – Estimating
The first homework you have to perform is understanding the data you will be "adding" to the template. For example, is it a simple field control or an HTML control or is it a string or integer. The smartest step to take is to always see if you can utilize any of TFS's built-in data fields. To do this, you can utilize MSDN's site to determine what is available. The other option is if you know another work item type has the data available then you can open it up and determine its data type. In our case, we know we want to utilize the estimation fields (Original Estimate, Remaining Work, and Completed Work) fields available in the task work item type. Let's get started there…
- Open Visual Studio
- Click Tools > Process Editor > Work Item Types > Open WIT from Server
- The Collection Connection screen will appear
- Select your collection, and then the project you would like to work with
- Select the "Task" work item type
- The work item editor will open and has three tabs – Fields, Layout, and Workflo
- Half-way down, you will see three items in the 'Name' field: Original Estimate | Remaining Work | Completed Work
- Note the following about each:
|Field Type
|Ref Name
|Original Estimate
|Remaining Estimate
|Completed Work
This table serves as your "Cliff Notes" moving into Step 2 and ensures that any "reports" based on 'effort' will automatically pickup the effort data put into these fields and calculate them for an accurate assessment of where your project is based on the iteration start/end dates.
NOTE: It is not required that you "re-use" these fields and you can, in fact, create your own field types. This was only done as an example but also to maintain the quality of the reports created by TFS out of box.
Second Step: Create your fields in the bug work item type
The next step is to close the 'Task' and now open the Bug work item type. This is where you will go ahead and start editing the work item type. To do this, close the work item editor for Task. Let's make changes…
- Click Tools > Process Editor > Work Item Types > Open WIT from Server
- Select Bug (Note: The previous connection should be re-used.
- In the Work Item Type editor screen, under Fields click New
- In the field definition, enter the following using the table provided above:
- Click OK
- Click New, add now the Remaining Work using the table provided above:
- Click OK
- Click New, add now the Completed Work using the table provided above:
- Click OK
After you've done this, you will now should have the three new fields at the cottom of the Work Item Type fields screen like the following -
You now have the fields to store the data, let's move to putting them into the view so that your developers will see them.
Third Step: Add to your layout for the bug work item type
The next step gives you, the editor, the most freedom. It really is up to you where you expose the field and how you expose it. For the purposes of this post, I'm going to to use one of them that makes it front & center for the developer to see. Let's put it into the layout…
- Click Layout
- Click Preview Form (it shows roughly what your bug item looks like)
- Select where you are going to add the 3 fields (I'm picking the planning section since a lot of this is related to planning/scoping)
- Click Ok (closes preview)
- In the layout edit, locate the section where it says "Group – Planning"
- Right-click on the Column above Group – Planning, select New Group
- Right-click on Group, select New Column
- Do this 1 more times which produces the following:
- Highlight the new Group, and in the right-hand pane under Label enter 'Dev Estimates'
- To add the controls, you now highlight the first column, right-click and select New Control
- In the right-hand pane, lets add the data to bind the control to the field and your first one should look like the following:
- Do the same thing for Remaining Work & Completed work for the additional columns until it looks like the following:
- The last thing to do is to make it pretty (or as much as you can), so to start select the first column with a single-click
- In the right-hand pane, under percent width enter 33 (as in, 33% of the screen)
- For the second column, do the same and enter percent width of 33
- The same for the third column that then equals each column will take 1/3 of the layout to equal 99% total of the landscape. This should make it somewhat appealing to the eyes but this is completely subjective…
- Click Preview Form
The final form should come out looking similar to the below unless you missed a step 🙂 … So with that lets show your magic and prepare to make all of your Dev's angry but your life as the one whose butt is on the line for setting expectations on what can & can't be accomplished this will save your butt.
Fourth Step: Upload your changes and Verify
The last step is the easiest though can be the most complicated. I've seen instances where you've made a slight mistake and your unable to save the work item type back to the server. This can happen for many, many reasons so my suggestion is if you are unable to save and figure out what went wrong just start over. Nonetheless, you can then save it and then your in business.
To save, click File > Save or click the save icon on the toolbar. It does churn sometimes so don't worry, you will know when it fails.
Testing, Testing, and Testing…
The last step is to simply fire up a new Bug but key thing to know is that you will need to refresh you project. This is required for the new work item type definition to get loaded. After you've right-clicked on the project, selected refresh, then right-click on work items and select New Bug.
The new bug should display your nice new real estate created by you, master TFS man/women (kidding!). I suggest you create a new bug and save it to see it work end-to-end and then let your Devs know to start filling in the blanks on all those bugs opened by Test.
In today's post, I hopefully helped you close the gap in your project planning by now allowing you to easily track work on new feature work plus any bugs created against those features. This is a nice thing to do in groups where often bugs are not, by definition, really bugs but instead "design change requests" or DCRs. If they were traditional bugs only then often the time to track the actual estimates isn't worth the worry but since this isn't often the case in software engineering, we need to find ways to manage these DCR bugs as well.
It should be noted that you didn't require these fields to be mandatory and they do not have a default value hence those trivial bugs that are just fixed easily by Developers are not going to cause overhead and make 'em angry.
Happy TFS'in… and happy Easter for those who celebrate like my family!

North Korea was indeed responsible for the massive hack on Sony Pictures, according to officials from within the US government. This follows on from Sony cancelling the release of The Interview amid threats of further attacks from the hackers — including threats of terrorism against cinemas if they show the movie (which lampoons the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or DPRK). While we obviously condemn the continued threats and release of private, non-newsworthy information, I would like to point out one thing: There is very little evidence that North Korea was actually behind the attack — which makes me wonder, a) Why is the US government fingering North Korea? and b) If it wasn't North Korea, who hacked Sony Pictures?
Who framed North Korea?
From the outset, the only connection between the Sony Pictures hack and North Korea was The Interview, a comedy movie where Seth Rogen and James Franco assassinate Kim Jong-un. Now, North Korea was certainly upset about the movie — it complained about it to the UN back in July — but the hackers didn't mention the movie at all in its original set of demands, which was emailed to Sony executives a few days before the hack went public. The famous Guardians of Peace image (below) didn't mention the movie, either.
The hackers only latched onto The Interview after the media spent a week prognosticating over the possibility of it being the driving force behind the hack. It wasn't until December 8, at least a week after the Sony Pictures hack went public, that the attackers started using The Interview as leverage. If you had just hacked Sony, and the world media just gave you the perfect opportunity to shift the blame onto North Korea, wouldn't you do the same thing?

DEFRA pencils in review of weight-based recycling targets
Conflicts between the packaging regime and councils' Best Value recycling targets are likely to be addressed in a forthcoming review of recycling targets, Environment Minister Elliot Morley told the House of Lords European Union Committee in September.
