Should Government Spending for PBS Be Cut? >
Sacrifice PBS in Favor of Healthcare and Defense Spending
We can't take money from anti-poverty programs to fund 'Sesame Street'
October 11, 2012
It is of course correct that PBS constitutes a tiny share of federal expenditures. But is the share too large?
I grew up on Seasame Street. (Though Big Bird wasn't my favorite.) I watch Charlie Rose. I like NOVA, and I watch the PBS Newshour quite regularly. PBS even helped cultivate my love of Mr. Bruce Springsteen and his mighty E Street Band by airing their old concerts.
But as a nation we must confront the cold, hard reality of our fiscal situation. For a long time it was believed that the government could provide guns and butter, but that providing more of one meant providing less of the other. In the parlance of economists, government maximized subject to constraints. Well, over the last decade or so we have paid a lot less attention to living within our means. At the end of the 2002 fiscal year public debt was about one third of GDP—today it is close to 75 percent. For the past four years the government of the United States spent one trillion dollars more than it took in.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
Cuts to basic functions of government—providing a safety net for the poor and defending the shore—are looming. What's more, both parties agree that Medicare spending needs to be curtailed. Taxes paid to the federal government are expected to rise to one fifth of national income in the coming years. That's a lot of money being given to the government by hardworking Americans.
Should we take a dollar from anti-poverty programs to fund Seasame Street? Should we take a dollar from defense to subsidize Charlie Rose? Should we cut back on healthcare for middle-class seniors to fund the Newshour? Should we ask hardworking Americans to contribute even more of their income to help people discover the legendary E Street Band? Should we borrow more money from China so PBS can continue to air This Old House?
The answer seems clear. And, truth be told, sacrificing PBS funding should be among the easiest choices we have to make. If you think it's hard to cut funding for public broadcasting, imagine how hard it will be to reform Medicare.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is a prospective, 2-arm, randomized controlled trial to determine whether glycemic control, achieved through intensification of treatment, is effective in preventing clinical macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 DM who are no longer responsive to oral agents alone. The study consists of a two-year accrual period and five years of follow-up (7 years total) of 1700 patients across 20 centers. We have powered the study to detect a 25% reduction in the primary event rate. Additional study goals are to determine whether the expenditures, discomfort, and adverse effects associated with intensive intervention are justified in terms of their clinical benefits, considering both macrovascular and microvascular complications.

Warwick Hotel Geneva Guest Reviews (40)
The room looked updated but at closer look it needed some upkeep. That said, it was a good value and for proximity to the train station, it was great. The bathroom was nice and updated and the lounge in the lobby was nice. Centrally located so nothing is too far of a walk. Liked that they offered a full service gym a few blocks away.

Rapid check-in (even at 11am). Room was clean and well appointed. The first night the heat did not work and after two phone calls to the front desk I was visited by technician who said it would have to be looked at in the morning. He gave me extra blankets and I asked for a space heater - which after ten minutes he was able to find! The pay-per-view movie system did not work (even though my rate was supposed to give me 1 free movie a night) and once I cam back to find housekeeping had forgotten to put pillow cases back onto the pillows! All that being said, when I come back next month I will stay there because the location cannot be beat. Also, I saw someone have their purse stolen at the train station - NEVER put your stuff out of site or on the ground - especially near a train station/tourist attraction.

very handy location literally across the road from the main train station. Although from the outside the hotel looks very dated, the interior has been renovated and the room I stayed in, despite having the narrowest door I have ever seen, was a good standard and acceptable size. The only negative point for me that there were no facilities like gym or pool. Breakfast was in a nice airy room with a good choice.

Great hotel and not too expensive given the prices in Geneva! I really wasn't sure what to expect bc I though the reviews were a little mixed. Just stopped through for the night while on business and it was perfect. Close the lake and right next to the train station. Can walk everywhere. The room was also bigger than I expected, although I'm from the US, so everything seems tiny to me here. Free internet - always a plus. Really friendly people at the front desk and they all spoke English - another plus. The bathrooms were also nicely done, big for Europe and clean - that's always a sign of a good hotel. Enjoy!

Wouldn't it be cool if tennis coaches were judged by a similar standard? The bar by which tennis coaches are measured is not as high as it should be and we all could use a little more accountability.
Lastly, Coach Ryan discusses a current client who contacted us via the website from Dallas who asked us to do a customized program for him that could be done over the interned (skype).

EskoArtwork Finishes Sign & Display Jobs at Fespa Mexico
EskoArtwork will demonstrate the complete i-cut Suite workflow with partners TSG and Mexico SPI at the HP stand during FESPA Mexico, August 18-20, 2011 in Centro Banamex, Mexico City.
i-cut Suite software doesn't require users to return to a native application, working within a PDF file. Furthermore, it reduces errors by spotting them before RIPping, and it optimizes the layout, which ultimately reduces material costs and minimizes set-up time. Users with more specific requirements can easily also add supplementary modules: a structural design module to allow integration with all standard structural design programs; a graphics preparation module to create the cutting contour on both vector files and images; and a true shape nesting module offering a powerful, true shape nesting solution, particularly for irregular shapes.
Kongsberg i-XL 24: Perfect for signs and displays The Kongsberg i-XL 24, the workhorse of the product line and best-selling Kongsberg finishing system among sign and display companies, offers a comprehensive finishing solution for the widest range of materials, providing automation, high productivity and outstanding precision. The i-XL family, with a maximum material size of 87" x 120", can be delivered with an optional conveyor extension, along with the Auto-Feeder and scissor-lift system.
"EskoArtwork continues to extend the productivity of sign and display print providers, with both a complete, integrated workflow and extremely sophisticated digital finishing systems," said Aleks Zlatic, Vice President Western & Latin America EskoArtwork. "There is much more to the production of signs than just printing. We are committed to 'shaping the future' of our customers´ business and this industry. Sign and display shops need to focus on the structure—or shape—of a sign. They need machines to efficiently cut displays when they are printed. They also need a workflow that can combine graphics with the structure. During Fespa Mexico, with the help of TSG and Mexico SPI, we can demonstrate solutions that cannot be found elsewhere."

Nothing special just curios to see what other people play as?

Went with Nord. I'm more of a two handed heavy armour kill on sight player. Magic and Stealth isn't my style so just went for brute force.
Next play thru I'll maybe try something different but that could be some time as I'm still discovering new places and quests and that's after 6 months of playing. DLC due soon too.

I don't go for any specific 'class', I've just made sets of armour which give me special abilities.
Legendary daedric set which gives me infinite destruction and conjuration mana aswell as some more things to do with resist majic and blocking.(Battlemage)
Legendary dragonscale set which improves sneak by 160%, picckpocket, lockpicking, archery and infinite illusion mana.(Illusionist assassin)
Legendary dragonplate set which gives a large health bonus and ups archery heavy armour, one handed and alchemy.(Warrior)

In for 1, have an older Dyson which still works great. Moving to a much larger home, so this will be great not to have to drag have a vac on each level.
Are these really worth the money? Spending $179 on a used vacuum cleaner when a new Bissell Momentum is ~$100 seems a bit foolish.
Warning: DO NOT use that scented powder you shake onto the carpet before sweeping. We used to use it with a bag vacuum, and that was fine. After a few months with the Dyson, however, it lost suction and we couldn't figure out why. It ended up clogging the Lifetime HEPA filter that should "never need replacing." We had to go through Dyson to get it replaced since it's an internal part you can't get to.
nerdler wrote:Are these really worth the money? Spending $179 on a used vacuum cleaner when a new Bissell Momentum is ~$100 seems a bit foolish.
I bought the (refurb) Dyson Animal two years ago on Woot. That thing still sucks like a $2 hooker, just like the day I bought it. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that sheds like crazy as well as a newborn. That vacuum keeps my carpet clean enough that I don't worry about my kid rolling around on it. That's saying something. I am a big believer in "you get what you pay for" about as much as "you pay for how much they market," but this vacuum really is awesome, all gimmicks aside.
Can anyone give a comparison between this Dyson and the Kirby Ultimate?
ton80 wrote:bzzzttt.. lets see how well that 50 eureka is working in a year..
Agreed...I took the Eureka back after 2 months because it sounded like an air raid siren. Some beanie baby beads got sucked into the intake (pretty much impossible to avoid seeing as you have to take the whole thing apart just to empty it). Hated the Eureka...
I bought this exact vacuum from woot four years ago. It still works perfectly. Very well made and easy to empty.
I have had this one for over 2 years, works just like new. I have hardwood in the new house, just turned off the beater brush. It DOES lose suction when the canister is about 3/4 full. By lose suction, it's only about twice as powerful as a hoover then instead of 3x. PS I paid 50 on craigs.
nam1123 wrote:What is the "All Floors Control Knob" that is so prominently featured in the photos? Is that to turn the brush bar on and off, or does it actually adjust the height of the vacuum head to accommodate different surfaces? If it's for surface height, I hate it! All the good vacuums I've seen, including Dysons, will auto height adjust through some clever physical/mechanical design so that you never have to think about differences in carpet height/plushness. Can anyone who owns this give me an answer? I'm in if this is not a manual suface height adjuster.
That knob is just to turn the beater bar on and off for carpet/wood floors. It auto adjusts its height when you get ready to vacuum. I've had one for 4(?) years now and I love it.
I manage a vacuum store and Dyson makes the best bagless vacuums on the market hands down. This model has been discontinued but it is a still good machine with high suction and an aggressive brush roll for picking up pet hair. However, I would not recommend a Dyson if you have primarily hardwood floors or if you are sensitive to allergens. Dyson vacuums have plastic wheels which can scratch or other wise damage hardwood floors, it's best to get something with rubber wheels. Also, since it is bagless the filtration isn't going to be nearly as good as a comparable vacuum with a bagged system. Bottom Line: This is a great vacuum at a great price if you have mostly carpet and especially good if you have pets.
equazcion wrote:It bothers me the way it's become accepted to use the word "carpets" with the plural S at the end whenever it's the object of the sentence. What happened to the word "carpet"? The only time I hear it now is as a descriptor, like "carpet cleaning". Has the world gone mad? Or just me?
I think people mean it in the sense that they have multiple separate carpets in different rooms. I have carpet in all my bedrooms, but the adjoining spaces (living room, kitchen, etc) are all hard wood. So each room is completely separate. So it's proper to say "I'm going to vacuum the carpets" or anything similar.
Does anybody wonder why Woot has so many refurb'd Dysons to sell?
maltliquorkicker wrote:Can you even buy chili cheese fritos anymore???
Chumbuh1 wrote:In my opinion, a dyson isn't worth the premium unless it's one of the ball models. The ball is the single greatest feature of my dyson and the incredible maneuverability really sets it apart from other vacuums.
I do not like the ball at all compared to this model. The cord is much shorter and the canister is smaller. I do, however, like the maneuverability.
I can throw another recommendation out there... I too bought this same model about 5 years ago from Woot... (refurbished as well) and it still runs great! If you're on the fence I'd say go for it. I dont regret my choice at all.
equazcion wrote:To my understanding, this model doesn't have a motorized brush bar. The Animal model does.
Your understanding is wrong. One, it says so in description on Woot it has one and two, I just got mine in the mail and used it today. It does have the motorized beater brush and works well. How does it work overall? Yep, Dyson sucks. After all...it IS a VACUUM! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Get it?!?! It really sucks! and thank god it does too! WOOT!!
I am thinking of buying one of these but have a question. I haven't purchased from Woot in a while and in the past I have been charged tax since I live in the great state of Texas. Today, it's not showing tax. Does anyone know the reason for this? The tax did show up on the last page after all. I guess it was just wishful thinking.
looks like a pretty solid deal to me
If they're so great why are there refurbished ones to sell?
Yes, I just did yesterday, in fact, on sale no less.
Mine from the last woot-off showed up yesterday. Works fantastic. We had vacuumed the day before (have two large area rugs and otherwise all wood floors) so we were a day away from doing it again. I was shocked at how much more it pulled out of our rugs. Granted, some of that is "wool fuzz", but plenty of dust and more hair was pulled, too. I've noted that some feel this vacuum is loud, but I don't find it to be anymore loud than the Eureka we have. Couple notes: One, a retractable cord would be nice. Two, the hose works good in theory, but I don't care for the overall design. Not a show stopper, but I'd prefer that it wasn't part of the handle and had that long aluminum tube. Overall, this is clearly a superior machine with a very powerful motor. Full retail? Not sure I would pay that much. 179 from Woot? Absolute no-brainer.
Have a DC14 that is still going strong after about 7 years. I have moved, taken it to work, and generally used it in situations that called for a shop vac...... it is still going strong. I have bought a Dyson for both DILs and they love them. We are all pet people. Now I have bought one today for work. I will never have to haul mine there again to have a good vacuum. You cannot beat these! Carpet, tile, hardwood - I have them all and these are amazing and keep going.
Just ordered one and i've got to say that it kinda feels like Christmas. I'm really careful with refurb products and keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get the one that the drunken sloth worked on. Hoping to enjoy this product sucking for many years to come.
chgo wrote:If they're so great why are there refurbished ones to sell?
I keep wondering that too. They must have many, many that suck in a bad way. For the price of a new one, how many people can afford that, and it looks like they all break. Questions: How maneuverable is this one as compared to one with a ball? That's why I constantly kick and scream at my Kenmore because I have a lot of furniture obstacles. Even an exorcism did not get rid of it's evil spirit. How well does the hose stretch for stairs. I once was holding a vac with a short hose while cleaning the stairs and dropped it. The bottom part got stuck on my head as it wrapped all my long hair around the beater bar. It took a lot of panic to get off the steps with that thing on my head.
Refurbished doesn't necessarily mean it was broken - manufacturers also sell as refurbished products that were opened and returned but not necessarily ever used. Yes, I know some places classify that as "open box" merchandise, but not always. With a vacuum that is as pricy as these are at full retail, I can't say I'd be surprised if many of these were returns by people whose spouses balked at the idea of a $400+ vacuum. That all being said, I don't currently own nor have ever used a Dyson vac, so I cannot comment as to their quality beyond what I've heard from others I know that own them - and this has me currently pondering buying in on this.

I don't really know, but this is a conspiracy theory I have: Secretly Rick Perry's campaign hacked Woot and they're taking all the tax money to use for guns to protect the border and a new death chamber for inmates whose time is up. (Sorry, had to throw a little Perry Texas politics in there.)
happypuppy wrote:Should I be concerned about refurbed Dysons? I've purchase several refurb items, and needless to say, they broke/stopped working. I'm also the type to maintain and baby my items.. so are refurb Dysons reliable?
Yes, they are reliable. When I rec'd my refurbed Wooted Dyson a couple years back, it arrived unopened, new-in-box. Keep in mind, any time a customer returns a product for any reason - even if the box is unopened, it has to be sold as a 'refurb.' If they ARE refurbed, they have received hands-on, one-on-one care that probably makes them better than new. Buy with confidence. No, I don't work for Woot or Dyson :-)
I got one of these from a store hoping to replace my Hoover with a better vacuum. I miss my Hoover. The hose that comes out of the vacuum to get to smaller places with the attachments is VERY HARD to use. I pull it out and it fights me every inch of the way to cleaning.
Asylum4 wrote:I manage a vacuum store and Dyson makes the best bagless vacuums on the market hands down. This model has been discontinued but it is a still good machine with high suction and an aggressive brush roll for picking up pet hair. However, I would not recommend a Dyson if you have primarily hardwood floors or if you are sensitive to allergens. Dyson vacuums have plastic wheels which can scratch or other wise damage hardwood floors, it's best to get something with rubber wheels. Also, since it is bagless the filtration isn't going to be nearly as good as a comparable vacuum with a bagged system. Bottom Line: This is a great vacuum at a great price if you have mostly carpet and especially good if you have pets.
With all due respect since you manage a vacuum store, I heartily disagree. I have all hardwood floors in a two-story home, with a few scatter rugs, and I love my Dyson! The wheels have never 'scratched' my floors, and I love seeing it suck up the dust / pethair / cobwebs, making the floors look great. This is one of the nice things about the Dyson - the hardwood floor ability!
mbrickell wrote:Yes, they have them in the vending machine where I work.
They also sell the at the Super Wal-Marts.
The main difference between a Regular vacuum and a so called Animal vacuum is that the animal version has a carbon filter on the air exhaust to help reduce odors
dbzeigler wrote:How does this compare to a Rainbow? We're kind of tired of the hassle of the Rainbow, being a canister and using water to trap dirt and debris.
My mom still uses her Rainbow from around 1985. She has absolutely refused to upgrade to a different model all these years because the Rainbow still works magnificently - she uses it for floors, furniture, curtains, and dusting. I've taken my DC14 (a refurb, not bought at Woot) out to her house a few times, so she doesn't have to go through the big production of using the Rainbow when she's also making a holiday dinner. I'd say this model and her 80s era Rainbow work about the same, but since the Dyson is so much easier to use, clean, and store, I prefer the Dyson. After seeing my sleek & sexy Dyson during the holidays, Mom became jealous and finally admitted that she wouldn't mind leaving the rigamarole behind and breaking it off with her Rainbow to cohabitate with a younger model Dyson. I am checking my budget (and seeing if my sister will contribute) and may be buying one of these for her today.
I'm wondering about two things that I haven't seen mentioned [though admittedly, I haven't read *every* post in this discussion]: 1) How does Dyson do on upholstered furniture? 2) Does it tip over easily when using the wand? Those are the two areas where my beloved Bissell fails miserably. Thanks for your input!

The one I bought during the woot off arrived yesterday. It tried to suck the paint off the tiles. This is a referb so it only has a 6 month warranty. But this is $50 cheaper than the other referbs I found. The Dyson we have in the office has worked flawlessly for more than 5 years. This Dyson 14 fixes the only problem the office one had.
Just ordered mine I order the yellow one! I have been wanting one for years can't wait till it gets here
My wife and I own a cleaning business and we have 3 of therse Dc14's they are amazing. I have never seen a better vacuum..
I bought one of the knock-off cyclonic vacuums. After about 3 uses I had to disassemble it to get it to work again. worked for another 5 and then had the same problem. I fixed it again but then bought one of these. The Dyson in the office has worked for many years and is run 2-3 times a week..
I have to pay tax now with Woot in Washington state. OMGOMGOMGPONIESOMG PONIES!!!!
I'm in for a Blue one to replace my 20 yo Oreck.

I assembled mine in 5 minutes yesterday. Plug in the flexable hose, insert the want and connect and then put the wand attachments on. Done.

21-year-old who fooled Michigan high school, played football, is charged with altering records
James Nash enrolled in school as 19-year-old
A 21-year-old man who played football this year at a Mount Pleasant high school has been charged with altering vital records, a misdemeanor.
The Morning Sun, citing court records, says James Nash told authorities that he paid someone $10 to alter his birth certificate and old school transcripts before enrolling at Mount Pleasant High School.
Nash signed up as 19-year-old Javier Jones. The Oilers had to forfeit five football games in which Nash played after the school notified the Michigan High School Athletic Association. He was expelled Nov. 1.
The Morning Sun says Nash told police that he wanted to get his diploma so he could attend college. Nash played defense on the high school football team but wasn't considered a star.

Weeklys options are options that are listed to provide expiration opportunities every week. Weeklys are typically listed on Thursdays and expire on Fridays, provided that such expirations were not previously listed (i.e, Weeklys are not listed if they would expire on a 3rd Friday or if a Quarterly option would expire on the same day). Weeklys options can provide opportunities for investors to implement more targeted buying, selling or spreading strategies. Weeklys options can help investors efficiently take advantage of market events, such as earnings, government reports and Fed announcements.
CBOE and C2 Options Exchange recently amended their rules to allow trading in up to five consecutive Weekly Option expirations for equities, ETFs, ETNs, and indexes. Previously, CBOE was only approved to offer five consecutive expiration weeks for the S&P 500 index (SPX Weekly Options). For details on the rule changes, see CBOE Information Circular IC12-093 and C2 Information Circular IC12-015. See Regulatory Circular RG12-066 for related information on SPX Weeklys. SPX Weeklys are PM-settled on the last trading day, typically a Friday. As with other PM-settled index options, the exercise-settlement value is calculated using the last (closing) reported sales price in the primary market of each component stock. On the last trading day, trading in expiring SPX Weeklys closes at 3:00 p.m. (Chicago time). All non-expiring SPX Weeklys continue to trade until 3:15 p.m. (Chicago time). For standard PM-settled, S&P 500 options that expire on 3rd Fridays, see ticker SPXPM. Weeklys are listed each week except that no new Weeklys are listed that would expire during the expiration week for regular options (the third Friday of each month), nor would they be listed if they would expire on the same date as a Quarterly option on the same underlying. Other than SPX Weeklys, closing times for Weeklys options match the closing times for regular, non-weeklys on the same underlying. For a list of closing times for options on ETFs, see http://www.cboe.com/publish/OETFClose/ETFCloseTimes.xls. For a list of closing times for options on ETNs, see http://www.cboe.com/publish/OETNClose/ETNCloseTimes.xls. Current listing and expiration dates are noted on AVAILABLE WEEKLYS.
For an updated list of available CBOE Weeklys go to: AVAILABLE WEEKLYS. CBOE offers the opportunity for you to receive a weekly email alert to help keep you up-to-date on the Weeklys available for trading and other Weeklys options news announcements. As the list of new Weeklys becomes available (usually on Wednesdays) we'll email it right to your inbox. To receive these alerts, those with existing myCBOE accounts should visit: https://www.cboe.com/alerts and select "New Weeklys Available For Trading" (near the bottom of the list). Those who do not yet have a myCBOE account should visit: https://www.cboe.com/UserAdmin/PersonalProfile.aspx and select "New Weeklys Available For Trading" on the myEmail Alerts subscription page (myCBOE registration page 2).
Weeklys options can be found in regular options chains. For example, SPX Weeklys (SPXW options) can be found under the SPX options chain and OEX Weeklys can be found under the OEX options chain. On CBOE's delayed quotes page, Delayed Quotes Table, just enter the underlying symbol and Weeklys will be part of the options chain. For a specific example, OEX Weeklys calls that expired on August 6, 2010 were listed as "OEX1006H500-E" where "10" represents the year 2010; "06" indicates the expiration day; "H" represents August calls, "500" represents the strike and "E" represents CBOE. OEX Weeklys puts that expired on August 6 were listed as "OEX1006T500-E", where "T" is the symbol for August puts (see table below).

The MTI Adventure Wear Under Dog ($39.99) literally turned the life jacket concept for dogs upside down. Instead of having flotation concentrated on the dog's back and sides, the flotation of the Under Dog is concentrated underneath the dog to provide a lifting action. There's also good flotation under the neck and chest to keep the head high, but most of the flotation is under the dog's belly.
The adjustment straps for this jacket goes around the dog's girth like all the others, but the final adjustments with buckles are made on the dog's back. This feature was a hit with many of the dog's owners because they didn't have to reach around and under their dog to fasten and tension the jacket.
Once the dogs entered the water we immediately observed the effect of having flotation under the dog, as opposed to having it on the back. By having the flotation under the dog, they tended to float much higher and more level. For small dogs, this was a concern for some of the owners because it appeared as though the dogs had to work hard to stay upright. One owner commented that she was afraid her dog would "capsize" and wouldn't be able to right himself. In general, this jacket scored lower for small dogs.
In contrast, this jacket clearly had benefits for larger dogs because it kept the rump considerably higher and more level. The flotation under the neck and chest was apparent too as it appeared as though the dogs didn't have to struggle as much to keep their head up. The dogs were also more visible in the water since they floated higher and the manufacturer's color choice of yellow and red made spotting even easier. Floating level had some additional benefits we hadn't considered. For example, instead of the dog's legs "bicycling", the dog's level attitude had them moving forward with a much more efficient stroke.
Unfortunately, this jacket earned some low marks for comfort on land. As you can imagine, with all the flotation under the dog, it was more difficult for the dog to sit or lounge around.

Jaspaul Vilkhu, 30 (pictured), applied for the programme, which provides up to 75% off training for London sport and leisure volunteers, after learning about the opportunity through the UK's leading disability sports coaching company, Disability Sports Coach, where he volunteers helping deliver sports to disabled people like himself.
Jaspaul used the 75% subsidy to complete his Boccia Leaders Award. The one day course enabled him to step up his responsibilities and assist other, more qualified coaches in delivering boccia coaching sessions to players of all ages and abilities.
Jaspaul says: "I'm really honoured to be the 10,000th Londoner to qualify through the Mayor's Sport's Legacy Fund. I've played boccia for three years but I enjoy being a leader and wanted to learn how to coach the sport.
"Thanks to the training, I now feel more confident going into different settings and coaching disabled participants for Disability Sports Coach and the other organisations I work for. I love seeing the smile on people's faces when they get involved in sport. I'd like to keep gaining new skills and, eventually, find a paid job in sports."
Managed by SkillsActive's National Skills Academy for Sport and Active Leisure, the Fund is part of the Mayor's plan 'A sporting future for London'. The plan ensures Londoners benefit from a genuine grass roots sporting legacy from the 2012 Games, by encouraging more people to become active and strengthen community sport facilities.
Mayor's Sports Legacy Fund project manager Katie Couchman says: "The Mayor's Sports Legacy Fund has created a pathway into coaching and volunteering in amateur sport that would not otherwise be there. London communities will benefit from this programme for years to come."
Disability Sports Coach founder Peter Ackred says: "Funding training for staff and volunteers can be a challenge, especially in the current financial climate. Thanks to Mayor's Legacy, we've upskilled 30 sports coaches, which is a huge boost for us and our clients.
"Each day, we deliver sport coaching services to people with disabilities all across London, some of whom we think will have a real chance of competing at future Paralympics. Through our work, the Fund is helping deliver a legacy at grassroots and elite sporting level. We're really proud to be associated with this fantastic project."
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "It is spot on that these extraordinary, selfless Londoners are being recognised for their contributions through volunteering in our capital. The commitment to helping those most in need should be an example to us all. Being able to recognise the 10,000th person to qualify through the Mayor's Sport's Legacy Fund is a wonderful milestone. Congraulations to all who grabbed this unique opportunity for funded training and are playing their part in the Games Legacy."
Londoners can receive up to 75% off the cost of nationally recognised qualifications in areas such as coaching and officiating, community sport, volunteering, leisure and health, in exchange for volunteering hours.

Gisele Bundchen is not only a supermodel and married to one of NFL's top football stars — she is also a mom. She makes use of her Instagram account, posting shots of herself looking gorgeous of course, but also photos of her little ones and family life. However, when her most recent photo made its way to the Huffington Post and was titled, "Gisele Bundchen's Multitasking Photo Proves She Really Is A 'Super Model' Mom," moms went nuts.
The original caption to the photo (which was also included) reads, "What would I do without this beauty squad after the 15 hours flying and only 3 hours of sleep #multitasking #gettingready," it reads. However, the text from the Huffington Post writer has really emphasized the multitasking part, lauding her for "doing it all."
The writer — and Gisele herself — were similarly lambasted in the comment section. "I managed to work 16 hour days, 6 days a week, sometimes, at least 8 hours in the first 3 years," wrote a commenter named Barbara. "I managed to dress myself, make my daughters clothes, work, go to church, care for my home and family, NURSE my baby, and I NEVER made Millions of dollars, got to travel the world, or tout how great I am just because I nurse. Let her put in an 8 hour day, struggle to pay bills, work when she is so sick she has to carry a trash can around to puke in. She is an overpaid, pampered, celebrity."
And Barbara is not alone in her thoughts. The word "multitasking" apparently made moms see red, and I do get their point.
The thing is, I really don't think she's serious about multitasking. The photo depicts her supermodel life, and it's sweet that she's nursing her baby while getting pampered. In fact, the whole scene looks super relaxing. This is her reality, and I think that it's a cute pic.
I think that this has been blown way out of proportion. I would hope that by now, adults can see and understand that the celebrity life is far from typical mom life, but also, even as a celeb, Gisele is still a mom and nurses her baby.

The Game: 102.1 fm / 1490 am
Hampton Roads, Virginia, has a hockey tradition dating back to the 1970s with several minor league teams. However, it was not until 1989 that hockey took permanent root in the area. The Admirals began play during the 1989-90 season in the upstart East Coast Hockey League. From 1989-90 to 1999-2000, the Admirals won three league championships while averaging nearly 7,000 fans per night. The team was seen as a blueprint for running a minor league hockey franchise and is largely credited with helping the ECHL grow from an eight-team league to the premier hockey league that it is today. In 2000, the Admirals graduated to the American Hockey Leagues top minor league. The Admirals continued the winning tradition of its predecessor, as Admirals squads advanced to the playoffs in a staggering 18 consecutive seasons from 1990 to 2007. Hundreds of the best prospects in hockey have realized their potential to be NHL players after developing in Norfolk with the Admirals. The Admirals have more than 750 wins, over 5,000 goals scored and have had more than four million fans pass through the turnstiles since 1989. More than 150 players who have passed through Norfolk have played in the National Hockey League. Today, the Norfolk Admirals continue to strive to develop high-quality hockey players for the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning while providing the people of Hampton Roads with the top-quality, affordable entertainment they have come to expect from Admirals hockey. The 2010-11 season saw Norfolk return to the Calder Cup Playoffs and have fans excited for the future of the club. Without a doubt, the Admirals' biggest rivals come from within the East Division including the Hershey (PA) Bears, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (PA) Penguins and Charlotte (NC) Checkers. The Admirals are also an integral part of the Hampton Roads community. Since 1989, Admirals players, coaches and staff have worked countless thousands of hours with local charities. Admirals events such as Pink in the Rink to benefit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, the Muscular Dystrophy Association Jersey Auction, Special Olympics Night, Boy Scout Night and many more have raised over one million dollars over the past two decades. As the team's name suggests, the Admirals have always had close ties to the military in Hampton Roads. Such a large portion of the local population is military most transported away from their hometowns in the service of our country. With multiple Military Appreciation Nights throughout the season in addition to a military discount for every home game, the Admirals strive to give service men and women a new home team to cheer for. The Admirals frequently work with area bases, commands and MWR representatives to provide service men and women with a low-cost night of entertainment at Admirals games. http://norfolkadmirals.com/

Condition, Flaws, Defects, Imperfections, Details, Style, Description:
Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. Glossy set in original printed envelope. Very rare and unique set printed exclusively for France. In the distant future, a small waste collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.
Plot, Summary, Synopsis, Story, Script, Novel:
In a distant, but not so unrealistic future, where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, Eve, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with Eve. WALL-E rescues Eve from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive" Eve takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightening, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive ship comes to reclaim Eve, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue Eve. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated earth 700 years earlier. The people of earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily given instructions sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of earth from returning, by stealing the plant, WALL-E, Eve, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny.
Starring the following cast of actors/actresses:
Fred Willard, Jeff Garlin, Ben Burtt
Directed by Director(s):
Andrew Stanton
