A time for collaborative corporate action on education
By Brad Googins
Even with the financial crisis to handle, President Obama knows that improving our education system cannot wait until some sense of economic stability returns. On the contrary, the plight of education has reached a mission critical state and the time for corporations to step up has never been more urgent.
Judging from our conversations with companies across the spectrum, there is a high degree of frustration. The current approach by business, which resembles a fragmented and piecemeal attempt at finding solutions, has not contributed to any meaningful breakthrough in this enormously complex and challenging task of putting education back on track.
After listening to the growing frustration about finding a role for business that delivers significant impact in the educational arena, we agreed to host the upcoming New Orleans summit April 27-29 Meeting the 21st Century Challenge: A Summit on How Business Can Help Transform U.S. Education.
By now most everyone inside and outside the business community is well acquainted with the precipitous indicators of American education that continue to slide in a downward spiral. The frustration of companies whose economic success and sustainability is directly impacted by educational achievement here in the United States grows more and more palpable each year. There's also a sense of futility building as we watch the situation unfold. Despite fairly active involvement by the business community, the depth of the dilemma and the challenge continue to grow. Solutions are in short supply, and the fragmented efforts by corporations and others to address educational issues have reached a stage where even seasoned veterans in this area are feeling fatigue, frustration and failure.
And so the summit is a call to the business community to put aside the narrow interests and preconceptions of the problem and re-examine new approaches and new solutions. New Orleans was chosen very purposely, and serves as a great host for this meeting. Having experienced an unimaginable storm and its aftermath, the region has moved through stages of shock, disbelief and despair. Out of this pain has emerged an opportunity for a rebirth of the city. It seems fitting for New Orleans to host a meeting of the corporate community to come together to discuss different perspectives and approaches and create a new dialogue that resets the corporate approach to education.
In this forum the business community will take stock of its successes and failures and give itself a score card on its impact and effectiveness in achieving education success. The business leaders will need to consider what new collaborations could and should look like, collaborations among and between businesses, and collaborations with other sectors. This will be a time to begin reimagining shared leadership, and to create new pathways for concerned and invested folks from the corporate and non-corporate worlds. It will be a time to look at scalable solutions and break away from business as usual.
The April summit presents a unique and timely opportunity for those in corporate America who are working and leading in addressing the challenges of education in their communities and across the country. They will be part of a remarkable group of leaders combining powers from across the country to create new beginnings and breathe a new spirit of revitalization. There is nothing more energizing than the possibility of new beginnings and exciting breakthroughs to solve one of our most challenging social problems.

One thing he did a LOT was asking her to yield her head to the halter: the one-rein-stop maneuver. He always asked very quietly, waiting until she yielded her head around, then took a disengaging step with her hind end. He did it both sides.
She got to where she was yielding without thinking, it was getting automatic; and that's what he wanted. When he began to ride her, he wanted to know she would yield at any time he asked.
(Turned out she didn't buck with him, but when I got home, I made sure I practiced the yields before riding. I've used it a few times since: in some out-of-control situations, it allowed me to dismount gracefully!)

Details magazine columnist Health Myths wrote an article called, "Does Eating Late in the Day (or Night) Really Make You Fat?" and to sum things up here is what they found.
If you heed the advice that "eating after eight turns to weight," then you've fallen for one the most exaggerated health mantras ever doled out to dieters. Bottom line: If you generally eat food that's good for you, mind your portions, and stay active, then it doesn't matter when you eat.

THE supergraphics of the 1960's, startling patterns of bright colors on an architectural scale, demanded to be noticed. Now, half a century later, a similar aesthetic has been domesticated, but with smaller patterns and more restrained hues. Designers, many of whom grew up in that era, are using blocks of color on everything from rugs to bed linens.
''I am always influenced by the 60's,'' said Anki Spets, a New York designer known for her sophisticated linens. ''I was born in Sweden in 1958. Patterns of giant color blocks were all around me, so of course, I am influenced by that. But now I am working with finer materials and in much softer colors. The result is quiet.''

Surprises for Beckford in charity run
BY PAUL BURROWES Observer writer
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
DESPITE making eight stops in his 44-hour, 145-mile run from Negril to Kingston, in partnership with the Angels of Love Foundation charity organisation, ultra-marathoner Alan Beckford almost cut short his biggest challenge to date.
But because of the Angels of Love Foundation, who is helping to provide adequate medical care for children whose parents cannot afford it, Beckford pressed along.
Particularly difficult for Beckford was "the heat on Sunday morning between Spanish Town and the finish" (at NCB Atrium in New Kingston).
He was, however, not alone on his journey, which began at 4:10 pm Friday at the National Commercial Bank (NCB) branch in Negril, Westmoreland.
Patrick Lee completed the first 100 miles with Beckford, who had a crew comprising Chris Gooden, Dr Rory Dixon, and his wife Angela.
He was also fully supported by his family who made up the pace team of nephew Dominic Walter, son Xavier Beckford, sister Jackie Walter and Mathew Stewart of Angels of Love.
Beckford made his first stop at 8:30 pm Friday, five miles from Bluefields. His second stop was at 2:00 am Saturday in a field just before Black River.
"Sleeping in the field was a great experience with the stars, etc," said Beckford, a founding of Jamdammers Running Club, pioneer in staging long-distance events in Jamaica including the prestigious Reggae Marathon.
His third stop was at the St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) at 8:00 am before labouring his way to the top of Spur Tree Hill at 2:00 pm.
"Spur Tree Hill was the most gruelling part in particular because of the heat. The only reason I didn't stop is because there was no place to stop," added Beckford, a past general manager of the Sports Development Foundation (SDF).
Beckford recalled while passing through St Elizabeth and Westmoreland "the amount of dogs in the yards... never knew that we had that many dogs in Jamaica".
A key member of Jamaica College's medley relay gold medal team at Champs 1981, Beckford made his fifth stop at Juici Beef in Clarendon at 7:30 pm Saturday and the sixth at 1:00 am Sunday just past Mineral Heights.
An International Triathlon Union delegate, Beckford made his penultimate stop at Old Harbour at 5:00 am and his last stop was at De La Vega City football field.
"The Mineral Heights to De La Vega City was rough, as [my] system was really feeling out of sorts," remarked Beckford, an IAAF and FINA certified official and one of the fittest men in Jamaica.
All this he did for the Angels of Love Foundation who has been assisting with life-saving treatment, health care, education and supporting services for vulnerable children.
Angels of Love's Iar Phillip and Claudene Liu were part of the team from start to finish and Beckford had police escorts through St Elizabeth, Clarendon and in St Andrew.
Throughout the marathon Beckford and crew got words of encouragement, support, surprises, shock and disbelief from members of the public as they passed through communities and received knowledge of his "insane" Negril to Kingston three-day run.
Hi-Lyte and Life Span Spring Water provided fluids for the run with Rondell Village in Negril making accommodation available.
Beckford, who turns 50 later this year and has been organising the Hugo Chambers 10K for some 20 years, considers the challenge as part of his Jamaica 50 Independence celebrations and will continue to give his all to children whose parents cannot give them good health care.

Then why call the cops? I am sorry but if you aren't going to follow through then don't bother! You are wasting the time of officers who could be helping someone who actually WANTS the help!

Local law enforcement will band together with area school districts this spring to prepare for something they pray never happens here: a school shooting.
Wapello County Emergency Management has coordinated an "active shooter" response course for school administration this May, funded by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant.
The course will cover the ALICE system: Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter and Evacuate.
Josh Stevens, emergency management coordinator, said so far, administrators from three school districts in Wapello County (Ottumwa, Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont and Cardinal) are attending, as well as some districts from outside the county.
"It's an opportunity for them to learn what the ALICE program is and whether it's something they would or could implement in their schools in some fashion, either partially or wholly," he said.
Stevens, along with an Ottumwa police officer and a Wapello County Sheriff's deputy, attended an ALICE training program in Marshall County last summer.
"ALICE allows you to consider other options for the specific situation you might be in," Stevens said. "Administrators from each facility or school district then decide how they want to implement it and what age groups they'll do different things with to make it a better fit for their school district."
The older a person is, the more they're likely to understand how to take direction in a stressful situation, Stevens said, which is why the plan can change depending on the age of the student.
"Building administrators have a better pulse than somebody from outside as far as what's best for students depending on their age group," he said.
ALICE is not a blanket policy, he said. Local discussions must be held between faculty and administration.
The training will also be the perfect time to network between law enforcement, emergency services and schools, "so everyone is on the same page and can respond effectively to the situation."
Sometimes, lockdown is the best option. But in addition to lockdown, ALICE provides other options that teaches administrators how to respond.
"Again, that 'one size fits all' solution to the problem doesn't work," he said. "What works for one building may not work for another, not only in schools but in businesses. Depending on the layout of the facility, lockdown may be the only option."
"One size fits all" also does not apply to each of Ottumwa's schools, said Ottumwa Superintendent Davis Eidahl.
Right now, Ottumwa's response to active shooters depends on the building due to each building's varied design and layout.
"A couple are open pod type buildings and in those, we evacuate," he said. "In others, it would be lockdown. This situation is reviewed with faculty just like every other situation: fire, tornado."
While some buildings do conduct physical drills for tornados or fires, elementary schools are less apt to do a lot of drilling "because we don't want to frighten the children.
"But our administration does take teachers and employees through it so they can lead students through if they're ever faced with such a scenario," he said.
Local law enforcement trains for active shooter situations when they are able, Stevens said, which includes Ottumwa's three school resource officers (two at the high school and one at the middle school).
Eidahl said his district has become more familiar with ALICE since some employees have attended training in the past couple years.
"We have altered our procedures from three to four years ago as a result of this training," he said. "We'll be sending representatives from the elementary, middle and high schools for more of that training [in May]."
Those representatives will then report back with the district and make sure policy is research-based and aligned with what trainers have discovered over the last 10 to 15 years.
"One of the most valuable parts of ALICE training is the discussion it sparks between school administrators and private businesses and law enforcement," Stevens said. "Everyone sees the situation through their own circumstances, so this allows people to have an open discussion during training and get other people's viewpoints. It's eye-opening."
ALICE teaches proactive, instead of passive, strategies, such as examining the physical security of a building and getting to know its weak points and layout.
During the course, attendees will also watch video examples from other active shootings, as well as interviews of staff and students afterward, which can help "guide our future response," Stevens said.
"I think the purpose of this training is definitely to get the schools, private entities and law enforcement on the same page and make sure their plans are up-to-date," he said. "ALICE is another tool in the toolbox to respond. The more options you have, the better off you are."
The worst case scenario is the community thinking "it won't happen here" and then not being prepared.
"... we do have a plan right now, but this will help to improve upon it and open the lines of communication," Stevens said.

Will never go back to this place!!! It was a horrible experience, I don't even know where to begin, but I would not advise going here to anyone. I'd have to def say, the worst part of the whole visit, was the manner of the doctor. He shows no care, compassion, or skill whatsoever. He doesn't hide the fact that he's in a hurry to get out of there either. My 5 year old was being seen, and was scared, as are most you... view more

i want an old VW van to decorate too!!!!!
you probably remember these beautiful butterflies and dragonflies that flew into our stores for our spring display – well now that our new summer displays are up, they have gone into hibernation…and we want to give some away!
this giveaway will stay open until friday at midnight – and all you have to do to win is leave a comment below, and make sure to leave your email address so we can contact you if you win.
we will select a winner for each day (tuesday,wednesday, thursday, friday) to receive one of these amazing display pieces!
i am so jealous…i loved these displays and they're even prettier in person because you can see all the details and craftsmanship that went into creating each one :) plus this is the first time we're giving away some display items so it's pretty exciting!
good luck!!!
**UPDATE Monday June 21 – the four winners have been selected and contacted. Once we hear back from them, we will announce on the blog.**
awesome artwork and concert posters by nate duval.
i saw these "walldots" by pony rider on the blog daydream lily and i think they're so rad! i love how the circular shape gives the appearance of a little portal to a dreamy outside world. it got me thinking that this is something you can definitely do yourself. i've decided i'm going to blow up some of my favorite photographs of places i've been and cut them into circles and put them on my wall! i think it'll be a really cool way to display the photos too- especially cut into different sizes and shapes… triangles might me cool too!
check out some more pages from the pony rider book, maybe they'll inspire some ideas…
and some more inspiration…
i saw this studio on design sponge and i had to share, it is so beautiful! i love the framed chalkboard and all the different prints and patterns on the wall in the last photo… reminds me very much of free people. i've been really into the mixed prints right now, probably as a result of all the inspiration on our website but it hadn't occurred to me to try it in my home. i love how it looks and it's a great way to make a somewhat empty space (like my apartment- i am seriously lacking in furniture) and make it feel more busy and full.
our new summer store displays are up and i am in awe!
for the garlands, our visual team drew inspiration from holiday decorations they saw in india:
here are some pics of the displays going up in our king of prussia, pa store!
the plexi art was done by hand by our display team members…stay tuned because we have a video of that for you!
the bikes are by far my favorite…they were designed by one of our visual display team members while she was in india.
aren't they beautiful? i want one to ride around at the beach this summer!
i love these colorful rings from seven ply's etsy shop and the fact that they're made out of recycled skateboards makes them even cooler! i could definitely see lou rocking one of these couldn't you?
they also make really cool earrings, necklaces and belt buckles:
check out the etsy shop here.
lately i am completely obsessed with lace curtains…ever since i went to our creative director's home and saw her bathroom, which is draped with lace instead of walls, i have been wanting to get some for my place. they add such a soft touch to a room, and i love the way light looks when it streams through, creating patterns on the floor. my place is a big open studio sort of like hers, so there are lots of opportunities to try this – the beaded curtain in my bedroom doorway is looking like it will be replaced pretty soon…
for the second episode of home sweet home we paid a visit to one of our most inspirational fp girls – our creative director. now, before we went to her place i was told what it looked like, but if i hadn't known i'm sure i would have thought we were lost when we pulled up out front. she lives in a large, renovated garage that it is by far one of the coolest spaces i have ever seen. like a geode, it appears a little rough on the outside but crack it open and the beauty inside will take your breath away…i could have spent an entire day exploring the treasures that abound throughout her home – it is full of trinkets that she has picked up throughout her travels and i can only imagine the stories that lie behind each tiny detail.
in her words…
"i always love places that are not so pretty on the outside. i like to surprise people with the interiors. don't judge a book by its cover.
when i was little my father lived in key west, florida. i went to visit him and was surprised to see his house was hardly painted and looked kind of haunted. i said, "daddy! you live here!?" and then when he brought me inside it was quite nice. he told me back in the day it was a way to deter the tax collectors from knocking on your door. so now i just surprise my friends and they say the same thing – "you live here!?"
what sold her on this place?
"it was the big cast iron beams! i saw great potential in the ceiling."
it took quite a bit of work to transform the space into what it is now – and lucky for us, she has pictures of the progress. read on for many more photos, and stay tuned for the video coming later today!
how cute are these shirts? they're for sale over at print liberation, but more importantly they were designed by our very own lizzy janssen! she's not only a talented artist but a total sweetheart and very funny…read on for an interview with lizzy and to see more of her amazing work!
where do you draw inspiration for your work?
i get inspiration from nature and science. i like to draw things a little mysterious which seem to have been overtaken by nature and color. in my mind i'm always drawing miss havisham's house from great expectations.
who are some of your personal favorite artists?
i like artwork that is really colorful and has a sense of humor. lucienne day, maxwell loren holyoke-hirsch, kime buzzelli, betsey walton, margaret killigan, martha rich, esther pearl watson.
do you listen to music while you work? what do you listen to?
yes lots of music, a lot of times lyrics end up in drawings…
i like folk and blues, the carter family, woody guthrie, hank williams, leadbelly, howlin' wolf, joan baez, bob dylan, neil young.
what are some of your hobbies?
i like to collect antiques and go to flea markets and auctions with my dad! and mostly reading, hanging out with my cats june and arlo, watching movies, and walking all over philly.
if you were stranded on an island, what three things would you want with you?
high heels, my cats standing on top of a record player with bob dylan's "nashville skyline" …and eyeliner :)
how would you describe your personal style? which free people girl are you?
i'm a little bit country, and i'm a little bit rock and roll! i think i could be a mix of candy and lou – dresses and heels but not too girly.
what is something that most people don't know about you?
i had a magical childhood living in penang, malaysia, where i was a puzzle box model.
lots more great stuff at lizzyjanssen.com.
free people is looking for a full time sweater design intern! this will be a six month internship starting in june and ending in december. this is a great opportunity for recent grads!
the objective of this position is to support the designers by providing basic administrative skills and entry level design skills, completing assigned tasks in an efficient and timely manner and giving them the assistance they need to create and execute product that represents the unique style of the free people customer. for a full job description and to apply, please click here!

*Disclaimer: the First Generation Network is aware that not all First Generation Students are on Financial Aid**
by Adenrele Adewusi '15
As financial aid deadlines approach, it is an appropriate time to discuss the economic disparities on college campuses. At a private college, especially an ivy league institution, there is a large population of students with seemingly endless incomes. As a financial aid student, there are awkward moments when my friends want to go out to eat, go skiing, or take a trip, and I have to be honest and tell them I cannot afford it. In addition, there are barriers academically as well as socially. Art and lab classes have supplementary fees, some P.E. classes are out of reach, and joining a Greek organization may not be an option depending on the dues.
Linked below is an article written by S.E. Smith about being a very poor student at Bennington College, which at the time was one of the top five most expensive colleges in the nation. She recalls:
I arrived on campus with a backpack full of clothes, some sheets wedged into the top, and my battered, precious laptop that I had scrimped and saved for. There was nothing else. On move-in day, I watched people fill their rooms with refrigerators and technology and piles and piles of things and my roommate sighed with relief when I said no, I didn't have anything to put in the closet, sure, she could use the whole thing if she wanted to. I filled one drawer in my dresser.
What are your thoughts on socioeconomic diversity and/or culture at Dartmouth?

Until you've tried to propel yourself on a pole you couldn't possibly understand how difficult it actually is. It takes a set of pipes. And to do it gracefully is an art. There's a new spin on pole fitness: it's a serious thing. It's where art and sport meet, and that deadly combination is why it's growth is pretty rapid. (There's even a petition to have it considered an Olympic sport!)This year the Miss Pole Canada competition was re-dubbed the Canadian Pole Fitness competition and Halifax is host to the first ever Atlantic Pole Fitness Championships, the qualifying round for the national contest. "We're trying to bring pole up to a new level," says Studio in Essence's Christy Sanford, one of the local athlete's vying for a title. "It's so great to have a theatrical venue as opposed to a bar, or something less than a bar. I'm excited about showcasing pole as a true sport." The competition was open to video submissions, which were narrowed down by a panel of judges and the best pole peeps in the region will compete in a number of categories (including amateurs, pros and doubles). And the APFC has strict rules about attire and sexual suggestion so if your mind's in the gutter, kindly remove it.

Lawyers & Law Firms
what kind of a lawyer or you? when you have something bad, like the license plate, it is better to deal with it in your presentation than to make it appear as if you have been hiding it.
I agree with Mr Ford. It is better for the defense to bring it up rather than the prosecution
As both a lawyer and CEO my view is that Petrocelli, while downplaying the arrogance is still feeding the ego of this "master of the universe" such that the jury will have to wonder how this detailed and experienced CEO could have not seen all the elephants in the room, much less been their keeper?
What kind of a lawyer are you? On cross you propose inviting him to give some explanation for how Fastow did it without him knowing. You don't think he has a pat, test jury tested answer. In case you missed it in law school, 1) don't ask questions you don't know the answer to on cross, 2) do damage on cross or sit down, 3) save argument for the end of the case. Good point on the growth, though. And Larry H. is right about fronting bad information.
"it is better to deal with it in your presentation than to make it appear as if you have been hiding it."
No question it's better to bring it up in the presentation, but it doesn't mean it doesn't make Skilling look bad.
it makes him look exactly like it is, egotistical and if he didn't know what was going on then incredibly naive.

LAS VEGAS — The theme for the Ultimate Fighting Championship lately seems to have been built around bumpy roads to title fights.
And UFC 146 Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas is no different. Heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos puts his title on the line for the first time when he meets two-time former champion Frank Mir. But Mir's path to a shot at his third title is steeped in controversy not of his making.

Hollywood History: Get a Piece of the Rock
BY Christopher Harrity
June 22 2012 4:41 PM ET
Movie lovers will get a chance to score a piece of Hollywood's homo history Sunday at the Entertainment Memorabilia Including Animation Art auction, which is taking place in Los Angeles and online through the prestigious auction house Bonhams. This is your chance to own (or at least fondle) some of Hudson's personal items, including clothing, furniture, and gifts.
Martin Flaherty, a forrmer friend and one of the heirs to Hudson's estate, says many of Hudson's prized personal possessions are included, such as one of the sofas used in his film Pillow Talk and scripts, personal correspondence, even his birth certificate and passport.
"I know it would please him greatly if one of his beloved fans were able to take possession of and cherish just as much as he did, one of these last, unique, and rare reminders from his amazing life," says Flaherty, who adds that many of the items have a much lower starting point in this auction than their actual listed value.
The Hudson items are part of a larger collection of Hollywood memorabilia. For more information: Bonhams.com. Check out some of the goods on the following pages. All images courtesy of Bonhams.

sail-world.com -- Farr 40 Tasmanian Championship decided on countback
Farr 40 Tasmanian Championship decided on countback
Mon, 7 Jan 2013
As Australian 40 Owners Association president Guido Belgiorno-Nettis said, there could not have been a better finish to the inaugural Aberdeen Asset Management Farr 40 Tasmanian Championship which ended on Hobart's River Derwent today.
Sailing Transfusion, the former Farr 40 world champion from Sydney surfed to victory before an 18 knot seabreeze in the final race, with series leader Voodoo Chile, helmed by Hobart yachtsman Lloyd Clark, third across the line.
Transfusion's win levelled the pointscore and it also gave the Sydney yacht the vital total of three wins to two by the Hobart boat.
However, he was speaking in broader terms of the success of the Tasmanian championship which is part of the Eastern Seaboard Circuit of championship events for the elite Farr 40 class sponsored by Aberdeen Global Asset Management, which also sponsors the famous Cowes Week in England.
Ironically, a second place in the last race by Tilford Auto Group, chartered for the regatta by Andrew Hunn, co-owner of Voodoo Chile, cost Lloyd Clark the Tasmanian championship win. A second place, rather than a third, would have given the title to Clark and Voodoo Chile.
'Finishing second to a world champion on a countback and winning the Corinthian trophy was a great reward…we pushed the Transfusion team all the way in what has been a fantastic regatta,' Clark said after the race.
Winning skipper Guido Belgiorgno-Nettis described the inaugural Tasmanian championship as a wonderful event for the Farr 40 class. 'We had great sailing on the Derwent, the regatta was brilliantly managed by Bellerive Yacht Club and we encountered plenty of competition from the local fleet,' he added. 'Lloyd took us right down to the wire.'
Belgiorgno-Nettis praised his new tactician, West Australian Tom Burton, the world's No1 ranked Laser sailor who on Friday won the Australian championship, also sailed in Hobart. 'In his first role as a tactician on a keelboat, he did a wonderful job, showing great maturity in calling the shots,' the skipper added.
Third place overall went to another of the three yachts that came down from Sydney for the Tasmanian championship, Estate Master, skippered by Martin Hill with a family crew that included his wife Lisa, daughter Sarah and son-in-law Michael Blackburn, the Sydney 2000 Olympic bronze medallist in the Laser class.
Three races were sailed on the final day, with Transfusion and Voodoo Chile each winning one race on a smokey River Derwent in which the wind steadily increased for less than five knots to a brisk 18-knot southerly.
Third place overall went to Martin and Lisa Hill's Estate which along with Transfusion and Sam Hill's Forty came down from Sydney to contest the Tasmanian championship, competing against Hobart's fleet of five Farr 40s.
Going into today's second and final day racing, Hobart yacht Voodoo Chile, on six points, held a two point lead over the former world champion, Transfusion, and another Sydney boat, Forty, both on nine points.
But things changed once the racing got under way in less than five knots of south-westerly breeze on a course south of Kangaroo Bluff on the Derwent eastern shore.
Estate Master won the shortened race from Forty and Transfusion with Voodoo Chile. After four races, only two points separated the first four boats on the leader board: Voodoo Chile 10 points, Transfusion 11 points each and Estate Maser on 12 points.
After a delayed second race, waiting for the 12 knot seabreeze to come up the river, the state of play changed once more.
Voodoo Chile won the race by just 13 seconds from Transfusion, with Hobart yacht Wired (Stephen Boyes) finally getting among the top third with a third.
Transfusion recovered well after a spinnaker clip let go with the kite halfway up. 'Our bowman Mitch White quickly clipped the head to the second halyard but as this doesn't hoist beyond three-quarters it kept the boat going down wind, 'Belgiorno-Nettis explained.
'Mitch then went up the mast to retrieve the masthead spinnaker halyard and got back to finish a close second.'
Going into the final race, with breeze freshening to a 15 knot sea breeze, Voodoo Chile had 11 points on the board, Transfusion 13 points, Estate Master 17 and Forty 18 points.
It was then that Andrew Hunn and his crew got into the action with the chartered Tilford Auto Group, leading around the windward mark and holding first place until Transfusion outpaced them on the final spinnaker run to the finish, the winning margin just 21 seconds as the fleet surfed downwind in an 18 knot southerly.
Lloyd Clark, at the helm of Voodoo Chile, could not overtake Andrew Hunn, steering Tilford Auto Group, and thus the inaugural Tasmanian championship for the Farr 40 class went to Transfusion. A worthy winner and an equally worthy runner-up after two days of magnificent competition on the River Derwent

Final results, first five boats:
1. Transfusion (Guido Belgiorno-Nettis, RSYS, MHYC) 6-2-2-3-2-1, 14pts
2. Voodoo Chile (Lloyd Clark, RYCT) 1-2-3-4-1-3. 14 pts
3. Estate Master (Martin and Lisa Hill, MHYC) 4-5-2-1-5-4, 21 pts
4. Forty (Sam Hill, RSYS) 2-3-4-2-7-5,23 pts

Um... let's not talk about washing sheets!! :eekout:
The kids beds don't get made...although DS actually made his this morning!! I've been trying to pull up the sheet/comforter everyday, but that's a new thing. The kids' sheets get washed every week, my bed is every 2/3 weeks. It's been more before, but that's the frequency now.
I have been washing sheets a lot... Pregnancy leads to eating in bed and then I get crumbs and need to wash!
i make my bed any time I fold clothes. I always fold on my bed so I like to have a nice smooth workspace. So it depends on how often I get around to folding clothes!
We don't use top sheets. Only fitted and a duvet - so it just gets pulled up. Twice/week when my cleaning lady comes and does it :) And sheets get washed once/week when my cleaning lady does it. My house was a wreck at the beginning of the pregnancy when I was too sick to do anything - and DH was at his wits end trying to clean up and take care of DD and work - so we got more help! She's a godsend!
I make up my bed a few times a week. I do change the sheets once a week.
You ladies inspired me to wash K's sheets today...and her duvet cover. :P

Man arrested on suspicion of robbery following raid on Thornaby store
11:48am Friday 23rd August 2013 in News
A MAN has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a Teesside store.
The robbery took place at around 4.35pm on Sunday, August 18 when a masked man entered the Londis store on Vulcan Way, Thornaby, and threatened staff with a knife.
The suspect grabbed the till and ran out, but left the cash drawer.
Police found the till dumped on the nearby Thornaby estate after being alerted by shopkeeper Baljinder Singh, who had pressed the panic button after being confronted by the robber.
The man was dressed in black and wore a balaclava.
A 31-year-old man was arrested by Cleveland Police on suspicion of robbery and remained in custody on Friday morning.

Florida voters in 2010 approved constitutional amendments by nearly 2-to-1 margins that forbade state legislators from coordinating with political parties or favoring incumbents when drawing new congressional districts.
So what did lawmakers in Tallahassee do? The Republican leaders in charge of drawing new maps coordinated with Republican Party consultants to protect Republican incumbents.

While the economy will benefit from continued improvement in "underlying" conditions, the federal government's push to tighten its spending will slow overall growth in 2013, the Congressional Budget Office projects.

So applying the hot new technology of 3-D printing to make personalized Pez dispensers makes sense, in a weird way. It's just one of a growing number of efforts under way to print customized food products.

Mom-run Magneticpix takes the clever cake this season. Choose a sweet pic you love–your family, your dog, a sunny vacation photo to cheer you when you're chilly–then let the Magneticpix
people work their magic. Your beloved pic becomes a dry-erase board you can scribble notes and lists on, a magnetic surface to post other pics and what-not, and a fun piece of special art.
superb. Your picture is crisp and clear…and functional. Birthday invitations and report cards, posted next to your daughter's beaming
face? Nice! It will also make it pretty hard to forget said parties, along with early dismissal days–and that Wednesday when you're responsible for bringing in all the snacks. Yeah, love those days. -Eva
