My toddler is sleeping soundly
By Charlotte
from Summit, NJ
A little hard to put together, but well worth it. It is cute, sturdy, and my 2 1/2 year old loves it and sleeps in it all night soundly, which is shocking because she has a history of being a poor sleeper. My toddler's crib mattress fits perfectly in it.
Love this bed!
By Mom of 3
from Littleton, CO
[...] It is a perfect size for our 2 year old. It is close enough to the ground where we don't worry about her fallin out. She slept in it the second day we got it. She loves her big girl bed. It is versatile enough to be used for our boy when he gets older.

About Me Budget Shopper
This bed is wonderful! My two year old loves her big girl bed. I love how sturdy (I've been in it with her) and low to the ground it is. Perfect size for her right now. So glad I spent the extra money on it.

"Just what we needed"
By My Two Pumpkins

My husband put it together, lots of pieces, but fairly sturdy. We like it and our daughter does, too! It's low to the ground, it looks good, too.
"Love It"

My mother-in-law bought this for my daughter and she loves it! The bed fits perfectly in her room and it really is adorable. My husband put it together and said it was simple to do. Would buy again.

I would buy this again...
By Lainey's Mommy
from San Diego, CA
About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
I bought this bed for my daughter because we are expecting a son any day now and she needs a bed too since she has to give up the 3 in 1 crib. It was really easy to put together, some of it requires a little bit of man muscle, but I put 90% of it together myself. I have to say I was expecting something a little wider, like about as wide as our crib, but it fits perfectly in her room where I originally wanted it. Its widest point (the head of the bed) is about 30 inches wide. Not bad at all. It fits her perfectly and she LOVES it.

Brazen act like big on the executive Rick it's Jim.
Occasion posted -- -- we can afford right don't -- The anti capitalist protesters are furious that Saddam would view have much more money than others.
But it's not just the silly protesters have found -- poll found six in ten Americans say government should reduce the gap.
Between the wealthy -- less well off.
-- cliff -- is one of those wealthy people he's gotten absurdly rich growing and investment firm and he says that's okay.
Why is it okay you're just moving money around -- year.
Feeding off the public well you have a lot of issues there on this is -- located make a lot of money and is -- -- to make a lot of money through an investment firm.
Investment firms.
We discover very rapidly when people doing investing do their jobs poorly.
Up prices but it certainly America's people get that Steven Jobs created jobs and products.
That you just shuffle money around.
Investment firms banking.
Us speculators everyone like this gets accused of shuffling money around.
Yet we've been around since the Roman empire and apparently there's an economic reason for this.
A lot of -- modern economy depends on prices being right we've seen what happens when prices are wrong we've seen the tech bubble we've seen the real estate bubble.
Free economies would people sending their own money -- -- their own money on things get prices -- more accurate than if the government is sitting there and telling you what prices should be or if nobody's doing it.
So -- and eight banking investment management any of these things.
Several vital function.
They get money to the right parts of the economy at the right price you -- investor bets right those companies grow.
If he bets wrong he loses his own that that's the whole idea and the flip side.
Not sending money after bad ideas has just as importantly we got to remember about capitalism.
It sounds ugly but failures every -- -- every bit as important success.
All right but a result of that that the protesters complain about is this income despaired.
And it is big in America and growing bigger I would say it's a by product of freedom when you're free some people will do much better than others.
But as the stock market goes up your class got filthy rich so long it's immoral.
Personal some of these numbers a disputed there are a lot of new studies out this.
Economists and Tyler count norm I'm I'm a big fan of talks about selling -- to some consumption equality the stuff we actually.
By with our money that's a lot more equal.
Than it was fifty years ago -- go back fifty years it did the -- being a middle class person the richest person country in the stuff they -- with their money.
Was probably a lot different than the difference between a middle class person and even Bill Gates.
Right now even poor people in America have access to cars air conditioning flush toilets things that -- didn't have.
About a -- you would rather be a corporates in America -- -- king in the sixteen hundreds and eighteen -- you are -- that that was given that there's still this this disparity that feels unfair.
Americans have always been and I think this is a very good deal been willing to accept even large amounts of inequality inequality as long as there -- three things present.
Very quickly one that those.
At the top in -- -- your crazy person -- you think the vast majority of the well off in this country have cheated to get their money I think it's the exception not the rule when it happens we should go after it.
-- all guns blazing.
Number two is growth.
Does inequality in a system where where there -- outside towards lead to more prosperity.
I think even over the so called last thirty years there's new evidence that says yes it's led to more prosperity for everyone but over our history.
The evidence in the book is closed on that's it does lead to more prosperity the last one is the -- obvious one.
Can someone -- do it landed -- aristocracy in this country or can everyone have a shot at being that person was well off.
Up mobility.
Has gone down most statistics show it had gone down towards harder to move out of the bracket your parents -- -- but it hasn't gone down that marks a pew study.
Looked at families followed up for thirty years 68%.
Of the kids born of the poorest shift.
Had risen to a higher income group 6% went from the bottom to the top.
And of the kids born to the richest families.
Fell out of the group and 9% went all the way to the bottom -- I must say it's rude when you come here with more facts in your -- Good to be frank most.
Rich guys in women I know didn't start out there.
I'm a lot of middle class a lot more lower middle class on -- hi I'm sorry to break this to my dad about -- the son of -- rich father's secret is is out but.
If you're very poor in this country you can get trapped into a cycle of poverty.
-- I know you discussed it before but the marginal tax rate on work when -- on government assistance is very high meaning.
To give up government benefit to go try to get a job is not always a very good deal in the system we've set up.
But we work plot dependence we've talked dependence and we've not rewarded the the attempt to get off dependents -- -- last question on just.
Morality of the income disparity and -- the Wall Street Journal and there's an article about your new home -- build.
More than 20000.
Square feet.
That's gross you have this excessive home when some people are poor in the article mention I had four kids born within a year and a half.
You and kitty yield -- morning kids still -- in America we tend not to use the word need about what other people out to do with their money.
Now let me talk about my tax rate my marginal tax rate that depends how many of the taxes you count but -- somewhere north of fifty.
What I do with what's left.
Really my business I gotta tell America.
I actually have a counterproposal Warren Buffett let's assume if you've made some money like you're working for your kids and add up.
If you make ten dollars had to get -- kids and take all the different income taxes you pay the Social Security tax the Medicare tax.
The tax on investment income as it -- to get to your kid and eventually the inheritance tax.
I will sign on for the buffer rule again among cost -- a nickel -- -- into the fifties but I'll sign on to the -- rule for all but you know -- all hang out together for all my friends.
If he will sign on for the the government doesn't get more than 70% of what you make when -- added all up.
I think more than 7% -- taxes are necessary we need Texas around the country saying taxes are theft as some as someone on our side do it's too extreme.
Some are but taxes of more than 70% agree are are approaching -- so when someone's paying more than fifty and want to spend their money on what they want.
People should stay out of it when some people are paying more than seven the -- the money they can give their kids that's where the immorality is coming from.
One point I wanna quibble with we don't -- taxes to run the country we need Texas are on the government that thing we run the country free people run motive out here correcting me not quibbling -- you know I agree repeat.
Okay thank you -- fast that's.
More on that evil -- disparity.
When we return.

I think it did, can anyone confirm?Okay, the unit workshop didn´t make it,
I'm sure some of those features will be added to the final game. All we've seen are alpha shots, and the no info has surfaced recently. Nothing's final as of yet, so anything's possible.Again, I didn´t fall in love with the SMAC setting, but with the little details of the gameplay. And while I´m already impressed by Civ3 so far, I really hope the above features make it into the game. (Perhaps the new Civ site will tell.)

Comment: They don't get out enough (Score 4, Insightful) 841
'The agency, from top to bottom, leadership to rank and file, feels that it is had no support from the White House even though it's been carrying out publicly approved intelligence missions,' says Joel Brenner, NSA inspector general from 2002 to 2006.
Which "public" was that? Spying on foreign leaders, collecting unlimited data on US citizens, tracking cell phones...I think I'm seeing the problem. They know they're doing wrong and still feel justified. Now they want the president to make them feel better.
It's like the phone companies wanting retroactive immunity for cooperating with spying. They want Congress to pass new laws making everything they've done legal.
Nevermind all the spying didn't stop the Boston Marathon bombers or the Sandy Hook shooter or any of the more common threats.
Maybe they deserve to feel bad.

The new King of sports -- BeckhamPosted Tuesday, August 21, 2007, at 11:53 PM
That's right I said it. Somebody had to say it.
You may agree, you may disagree -- but the truth is, King James is no longer our King. Just the mention of the name Beckham generates some type of discussion. Whether it is positive or negative, it doesn't matter. Just the fact that people in America are talking about soccer is a major accomplishment on his part. But a lot of people say that he does not matter, soccer will never be huge in America and a Brit named Beckham ain't gonna make it happen. The fact is -- he already has. The L.A. Galaxy helped the New York Red Bulls pull in 66,000 people to watch its match up. That's only about 54,000 more fans than the Red Bulls normally pull in. Soccer will never take the place of our already established pastimes such as football, baseball or basketball, but at least now it's being mentioned in the same sentence. Like another famous sports figure with the No. 23, Beckham has become more than just an athlete, he has become a phenomenon. Just like Jordan, Bird, Magic -- just the mention of the name Beckham conjures up all kinds of hocus pocus. Like his goal from mid-field for Manchester United when just a teenager, his signature Beckham bend that is still keeping his opponents baffled or his ability to make every player he plays with better. For years, King James reigned supreme over our sporting realm, but the day has come and the old must make way for the new. Beckham has arrived -- all hail the King.

The right stuff: The dramatic rescue of Apollo 13's astronauts would have been impossible without the coordinated efforts of NASA engineers. Research is revealing why some groups work so well together.
Image: NASA
"Houston, we've had a problem," were the famous words that announced a crisis onboard Apollo 13. Halfway through Apollo's mission to the moon, one of the spacecraft's oxygen tanks exploded, putting the lives of the crew in grave jeopardy. A group of engineers from NASA was hastily assembled. Their mission: invent a way for the crew to survive and to pilot their damaged vessel back to Earth. The engineers were successful, transforming a potential disaster into a legend of effective teamwork.
Human history is largely the story of people working together in groups to explore, achieve and conquer—and in our modern world the role of teams is only growing, spurred by globalization and the enabling factor of communications technology. Teams do not always play the role of hero, however. They have also been implicated in many political and military catastrophes, including the U.S. government's sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina, the failure to prevent the tragedy of 9/11 and the explosion of NASA's space shuttle Columbia.
Given the centrality of work teams, it is more than a bit remarkable how much our society's perspective is focused on the individual. We school our children as individuals. We hire, train and reward employees as individuals. Yet we have great faith that individuals thrown into a team that has been put together with little thought devoted to its composition, training, development and leadership will be effective and successful. Science strongly suggests otherwise.
We recently reviewed the past 50 years of research literature on teams and identified factors that characterize the best collaborations. It turns out that what team members think, feel and do provide strong predictors of team success—and these factors also suggest ways to design, train and lead teams to help them work even better.
Unfortunately, although society places a great value on teamwork, the way organizations make use of teams often runs against known evidence for what works—and even against common sense. For example, it seems obvious that teams need sufficient resources to enable members to accomplish their goals. Still, in this era of downsizing and cutbacks, one has to question the wisdom of many managers who believe that more can always be accomplished with less.
Organizations reward individuals based on individual performance rather than team performance.
Consider, too, that organizations typically reward people with salaries, bonuses and promotions based on individual performance rather than team performance. These rewards can often inhibit team members' willingness to work together and help one another, even when the success of the team depends on it. Such success requires a delicate balance between meeting the goals of the team as well as those of the individuals who populate it. Research on goal setting, cooperation, competition, conflict and negotiation contributes to a better understanding of how people remain in teams and work together.
Indeed, a crucial question that should be asked before putting a team together is whether you need one at all. Some businesses recognize the importance of teams and promptly restructure every task so that it becomes a group responsibility, even when the assignment is something that could be done easily by an individual working independently. The result is a team that is more likely to impede performance than enhance it. Another question is, What type of team structure is required? The task of some teams is such that their employees can function independently for long stretches and occasionally confer and pool their results, as with a team of salespeople working in different geographic regions. Others, such as surgical teams, require a high and constant degree of coordination.
This article was originally published with the title The Science of Team Success.

Detectives with the Unified Police department had been looking for him for nearly three weeks following the triple murder in Midvale.
Sunday night Police came to a home in Millcreek looking for a parolee who had violated his probation. But once there, police spotted Fotu.
"He refused to comply with commands.from out officers," says Lt. Justin Hoyal. "He physically resisted where they had to tase him."
It happened right outside Rod Shirley's apartment.
"I never did see him there before," says Shirley. "But (a friend) now remembers seeing him early in the morning at around three in the morning, coming and going."
Fotu was wanted after three people were shot to death inside a Midvale home last month.
David Fresques allegedly went from room to room and shot two women and a man. As for Fotu, police say Fresques relied on him to getaway.
"Our investigators believe that Fotu provided a car to Fresques in an attempt to getaway," says Lt. Hoyal.
Police are still trying to figure out if Fotu was even in the home when the murders happened or simply supplied keys. For now, the keys are what's leading to obstruction of justice charges.
"Its a huge relief to get him off the streets where we can now finish this case and bring some closure," says Lt. Hoyal.
Fotu was named a person of interest in the February slaying of three people; Omar Jarman, Shontay Young and Danielle Lucero.
David Fresques was named a primary suspect in the case and was arrested two days after the February 12th shooting.

Start right on the water pipe to the left of a small roof. Scamper up the dihedral to a belay at the end of the ramp. Move right up the roof and right again to the next crack. Follow this to a break, turn left and finish on the last crack to the summit. Descent: walkoff to the North.
Standard rack.
I did this in Oct. of 99 with my Italian friend Matteo, and the rock was so cold I couldn't feel my fingers and hands--good thing I let him lead it. ;-) The crux was pretty tricky for a 5.7, just as the final Cozyhang/Owl roof is. This is number 1 in the picture.
Rick - Climbed with friend Chris on 5/18/01. Chris led P1 and I led P2. Good pro everywhere, but crux is kind of funky. I just reached high, smeared, and willed myself over.
Did this route on Feb 16 2001 2 days after a snow storm. There was still some snow/ice in the bottoms of the cracks at the begginning which made the already scarybeginning trickier, but it was still doable. I'd recommend parties wait until the sun has definitely cleared it off. Also, Rossiter's guide recommends a belay at the top of the initial ramp which is pretty mis-matched. I think a better spot is to belay after the middle "funky" roof section where there is a sloping flaring crack at your feet and a hand crack that shoots directly left. That breaks the pitches up nicely. If you used long runners in appropriate places you could link it all into one pitch. It's definitely fun, though.
I wasn't aware that people do this in two pitches. The route was pointed out to me from the road and it goes quite naturally in a single pitch with a 50 m rope. Yes, use long slings in the appropriate places, but as a trad leader you already know that, right? Breaking it up seems somewhat pointless.
Morning shade makes this a good climb for a hot day. Doing the climb in two pitches facilitates communication if you've got a less-experienced partner. If the drainage ditch is dry, the quickest descent goes down the backside and angles right to the tunnel between the 3rd and 4th buttresses. Watch out for poison ivy. Grope your way through the cool depths of the tunnel (dry with one wet spot on 8/10/02) and walk the pipe back to the start.
Done yesterday after work. Great climb on cool days as the sun keeps you warm. Wonderful lead as the crux (start of the second pitch) protects well. It looks much more intimidating than it really is. Stem and work your feet up until you find enough to grab and go. Actually, for some odd reason, I tend to struggle mentally more on the start of the first pitch. Maybe this is harder given a fall would be a bit dangerous. It just seems a little bulgy and requires trusting the feet with only a small finger hold/crack with the left hand and slopers for the right hand. I agree with Ron and I always go through the tunnel even yesterday when the water was six inches above my knees. Its actually is good therapy after your feet have been in hot climbing shoes. My favorite 5.7 route in Boulder!
The action photo below states the climber is on the P1 belay of Standard Route. This is incorrect, he is actually belaying from the top of P1 on the West Face variation route, which is down to the south of the Standard route on the 3rd Buttress.
I have taken relatively inexperienced climbers on this route and think it's the best climb of its difficulty near Boulder for this kind of outing. Great rock, tricky crux, easy access, nice views, and summer shade.
We did this route this a.m. and went right (15 feet or so ) of the stemming crux out on to an slighty overhanging face with some big vertical cracks and two old fixed pins. Kinda hard but well protected.Is this part of another route?
Take the + in this 5.7 rating seriously. While the crux isn't too tough to pass with lots of stemming, it is pretty steep and stout for a 7.
I don't feel sandbagged at all on this and, in fact, find it only half a grade harder than east slab of Dome across the way and even then only at the crux. But I do it a little to the right of the white line after the crux. Try this and then east slab of dome. If you can send it then maybe the ratings are correct. (After all, it could be just me!)
AC of 6/12/04 - it's just you. The crux alone is at least two number grades harder than anything on the East Slab. That said, the Standard Route is very well protected throughout and is mucho fun! Without any topo we mistakenly traversed left under the second (after crux) roof and up a left facing corner with a crease to the top - felt consistant with the 7 grade.
The crux on the second pitch is definitely easier for taller people. I lead this route with no difficulty (I'm 6'0"), but my partner on a recent trip (5'3") really struggled, and she leads at a higher grade than I do. As with any roof-ish crux, the key is getting your feet high, but to do that, you must stem wide, and I find myself doing pretty acrobatic splits at this crux.
That pipe at the bottom is really leaky. Got my shoes and rope all wet before I even started. [Definitely] get geared up in the flat area to the left below the descent gully. Also, I got my rope caught on a [piece] of cable hanging out of the pipe when pulling the rope up at the top of the second pitch. This led to me free soloing to the top, walking down, unsnagging the rope at the bottom, climbing back to the top, down climbing back to my anchor, and continuing the climb. Is there a better way to handle this situation or avoid it all together? I need a giant hook to stack my rope when I pull it up or something. Maybe a number 6 Camalot would do the trick.. That being said, I really like taking the cave back to the packs. Even when it's full of water. The down climb in the gully seemed a bit scary, almost rappel worthy (or did I miss the rap anchor as well?)
I felt the crux of the first pitch was less secure and more dangerous than the roof crux on the second pitch. Wide stemming on the roof keeps this climb feeling like 5.7. I'd give it 2.5 stars, but I rounded up.-s
That profound stem on the second pitch, as demonstrated by the photo of Phil Broscovak, is a little rough if you are around 5'6" or so. There are a few decent face holds off to the left that can help the height-challenged climber shimmy up this section.
Fun route. I am 6' even, and found the crux to be full of secure stems that made placing pro easy. It is easy to protect the crux with as much pro as you feel like putting in. Definitely able to do the route in one pitch with one 60 m rope.
My first climb in Boulder Canyon. What a great way to get on some rock after work on a Friday. Cold and drizzle, or not, it was still lots of fun.
Hopped on Standard Route today. It was quite windy but had some sunshine, too. The crux sure seemed like 5.8 or 8+ to me today...maybe it's just getting back into the swing of things after long winters nap?! Snow is all melted off at the water pipe thanks to the warm weather.
It sounds as if Matt Chan did what I did today - that is did the first pitch of Standard Route and then linked this up with the second pitch of Monster Woman. I don't know if it merits it, but I have put this route up as Standard Variation as I am sure that many people have done what both Matt and I have done. It is a nice line, but more consistently 5.8.
We forgot to bring the nut tool today, and I couldn't clean a #7 BD stopper from a horizontal crack on P2. It'll probably come out pretty easy with a tool. Fun climb.
It can be kinda hard to find the start of this route because there are a lot of really fun looking lines along the pipe. Look on the left for a long chain bolted from the rock at eye level and slightly left and then another large bolt directly on the route. Did this yestarday and it was definitely a lot of fun although I'll admit the crux was somewhat intimidating.
I think I got off route... at the old, beat up fixed pin on the second pitch, I went right on a couple of jugs. What was this, if anything?
Wow, 5.7+? I found this harder than either Classic Finger Crack (5.9) or Zolar Czakl (5.9+) today. And I am tall and was on a top rope!
I found CFK to be a lot harder. The bulge on the "2nd pitch" is tricky until you do it a couple of times, then it is mellow yellow.
Great climb -- but I think the difficulty is height dependent. Not too bad for me (5'10"), but very challenging for my wife (5'2") trying to stem up under the "roof" at the pitch two crux. Also, the river noise was very loud with the high water -- very tough (okay, impossible) to communicate from belay station on top to climber at the crux on the 2nd pitch. Nevertheless, a great climb!
Yeah, my partner led and belayed just above the crux which was helpful because it was tough! Also went to the right of the roof instead...still hard though.
Good climb. Crux at start of p2 is great, but rest of climb is a bit dull. Spice it up by climbing off immediately to the left of the V-ramp that starts p1 - 5.7G as opposed to 5.5 or 5.6. Both pitches have excellent pro across the range to 3". The slightly slabby face at the very end looks wicked fun but clearly run out, so I'm scared -- probably 5.9?
Instead of starting the climb from the left of the small roof, we started from just to the right of the pipe cable and small roof, standing just between the water pipe and the rock. Then traverse left immediately after getting onto the rock.
Best if done as one pitch. There is no reason to take the time to set up a belay.
Yesterday morning I on-sight soloed this route. After warming up on East Slab, I hiked down and approached the Elephant Buttress. Balancing my way down the pipe, I found myself at what I assumed to be the beginning. I booted up and entered the relatively dicey movement into and over the small, initial roof. Once up the thin, fun crack and over the second small roof, I was let loose onto the slab that coincided the crux roof. My first attempt of the roof was thwarted by the lack of vision. My confidence waned under the unknown. I returned to the slab to gather motivation and visualize, despite the assumption I would eventually have to back down. I decided to, at the very least, try the exposed, overhang (topped with a ledge) to right of the route. I hoped it would be a simple powerful move to crank over into freedom. Yet after hand traversing over the void, I found no graceful, safe solution. I quickly traversed back onto the route and de-pumped. In the process of retreating, I had this feeling of an unexplainable pull towards and up the crux. I found the stem. I saw the sequence. I told myself not to fall and to stay on, while I cautiously discovered the way. The rest of the climb went smoothly and was great fun. I believe the only reason I stood on the summit is because I truly imagined myself there and nowhere else. One's mind is everything.

Skinner, Burrhus Frederic (Psychologists and Their Theories)
HARVARD UNIVERSITY, Ph.D., 1931
Burrhus Frederic (B.F.) Skinner (1904990) is considered by most to be one of the pivotal psychologists of the twentieth century. Both his followers and detractors alike agree that his tireless work in behaviorism has significantly changed the landscape of psychology in general and the perception of how behavior is understood by both scientists and common people. His theories, though modified in various ways over the years, still continue to be widely applied in all walks of contemporary life.
Skinner was an American psychologist best known for the theory he developed over many years, which he called operant conditioning. Operant conditioning was a refinement of Ivan Pavlov's earlier concept of classical conditioning. Operant conditioning states that learning occurs as a result of the rewards and punishments the subject receives in response to a particular behavior. If the result of the behavior is a reward, the same behavior is likely to be repeated. If the result is a punishment, the behavior is less likely to be repeated.
Skinner had an initial interest in becoming a writer and received a bachelor's degree in English from Hamilton College in New York. After some time out...

By Sammy Batten Staff writer
The common defensive strategy most football coaches take against a great quarterback is to force him out of the comfortable pocket area where he has the most protection.
But N.C. State plans to take the opposite approach today in Raleigh when it faces E.J. Manuel and the No. 3-ranked Florida State Seminoles.
Manuel, a senior quarterback, is almost as dangerous running with the football as he is passing. So, the Wolfpack prefers to take its chance stopping Manuel's passes rather than chasing him down the field.
"The first thing we have to do is try to keep him in the pocket like we didn't do with (Miami quarterback Stephen) Morris last week,'' N.C. State coach Tom O'Brien said. "He (Manuel) got out the pocket one time last year and we missed him with six guys. He kind of ran over us.
"I think I said after the game, and I still believe it, standing on the sideline he looks a lot like Donovan McNabb did to me when I first went to BC (Boston College) and he (McNabb) was the quarterback at Syracuse. He was a big guy who could run, beat you with his legs and throw the ball.
"He's (Manuel) a good pocket passer, but he's a guy who is much more dangerous running the football when he gets on the perimeter.''
Manuel, from Virginia Beach, Va., spearheads a Florida State offense that leads the Atlantic Coast Conference and is ranked eighth nationally in scoring with a 51-point average. He enters today's game having completed a league-best 73.3 percent of his passes for 1,147 yards and nine touchdowns.
But it's Manuel's running skills - he's averaging 5.8 yards per carry - that concern O'Brien and the Wolfpack.
All Manuel's skills were on display Sept. 22 when the Seminoles scored a major victory against Clemson. He became just the second Florida State quarterback to surpass 300 yards passing (380) and 100 yards rushing (102) in the same game.
The only other Seminole to achieve that feat was Charlie Ward, who did it in 1992.
Part of what makes Manuel such a dangerous runner is his speed (4.6 seconds over 40 yards) and size.
Senior safety Earl Wolff said Manuel is the strongest quarterback he's faced at N.C. State.
"He's not only 6-5, 250 pounds, but he's probably faster than any quarterback we face,'' Wolff said. "It's a huge challenge because when he pulls it down to run, you need everyone around the ball to bring him down.''
But, Wolff said, if the defense can keep Manuel in check, it could put the Wolfpack back on track after suffering a disappointing loss to Miami last week in its ACC opener.
"If we stick with him (Manuel), we can win and put us back where we need to be,'' Wolff said. "We have to keep him from getting the big plays on us.''

When I began this project, I set a parameter that allowed me to repeat a specific plant as long as a different stage in its development through the changing seasons was depicted. For example, I have included Columbine meadow rue (Thalictrum aquilegiifolium) twice: early in the season when it was in bloom and in August once the seeds had matured.
As the weeks pass with this project I have found it harder and harder to recall which plants and parts I have already photographed. When I get a chance I will sit down and put together a master list, but until then I find that each week, before I begin to assemble a box, I need to go through all of the images I have taken so far and re familiarize myself with what has and hasn't been covered.
This system worked until the week of October 5, when I discovered that I had accidentally repeated 'Vanilla Ice' Sunflower, a plant that first appeared on September 21. Oh well, mistakes happen. At least I presented it differently the second time around.

Dining Services
Charlie Dorsa, the newest manager of Dickinson State University's dining services department, eagerly joins us from Texas, where he was born and raised. He comes to us with 21 years of experience in the restaurant industry, and education he received at Del Mar Culinary in Corpus Christi. He is excited to share the changes that have been made and will continue to be made to better the dining and catering experiences here at DSU. Some changes include; self service at the hot food stations to help food choices and portions to be more individualized, change in food station locations to help service flow in the cafeteria, the meal exchange program, breakfast now being served through the Snack Bar and the long awaited addition-credit card usage in the Snack Bar and Dining Hall (beginning of September). This is hopefully just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to improvements. He has an open door when it comes to suggestions, comments and compliments!!
As a true Texan, his first passion was bull riding, followed by a great interest in cars and the outdoors. Being the thrill seeker that he is, he also loves amusement and water parks….bring on a good rollercoaster and he is there!
Charlie brought with him, from Texas to North Dakota, his beautiful wife Chelsea, 2 sons, Robert (age 14) and Dakota (age 12)… and you can't forget his 2 dogs, Puppy and Little Pup.

Liberator Esse Review by sexycpa
Liberator Esse: Tie Me – Love Me
My husband got me the Black Label Liberator Esse Chaise for my birthday, and all I can say is wow. Wow! WOW!!!!! As a (late) 40 something who is into gentle bondage, this chaise has been a fan-tab-u-lous addition to our "toy" collection. The positions (and access) it allows are unlimited – so far, and the fun we've had is unbelievable. The only drawback, is that we have to cover it with a sheet when not in use so that we don't have to make any explanations about the D rings when prying eyes peek in.
Liberator Esse Review by anonymous
Listen-it was totally awesome! We ordered the black Liberator Esse, and we are moving it into the living room of our new home. The sex was so satisfying. My husband was deployed, and it had been six months since I had gotten a piece. Now we find ourselves talking about what position we'll try when he gets home from work! In the course of moving, my husband asked for the movers to move the Liberator Esse LAST so it would be FIRST in our new home!! I even told my MOTHER about it! I think everyone should have one. Where has this chair been for the last 11 years! I must say that my favorite position is on top. I feel like I can get what I want without him having to do all of the work. My husband loves it!

Lock up your bass bins! Perennial soul shakers Fat Freddy's Drop are ready to lift the lid on their new album Blackbird.
Fresh from a run of barnstorming, sold-out shows across Europe in late 2012, where they road-tested and refined the music that has formed the basis for their third full- length studio album, Freddy's are bristling with new ideas.
The third full-length studio album from the seven-headed soul monster documents a rich period of writing, recording and playing, and continues the bands aim to stretch themselves by integrating diverse styles and approaches into their music.
The writing and recording of Blackbird has seen Freddy's increase their armoury of drum machines and synths, pushing their sound deeper into the realms of Afro- and dub-laced electronica.
The first public preview for Blackbird was at two back-to-back sold-out concerts at GRAPHIC Festival held at Sydney Opera House in November 2012. Here the Wellington-based collective collaborated with renowned street artist and illustrator, Otis Frizzell (Freddy's fans know Otis work from the album art, CD booklet and poster art from the release of 2008s Dr Boondigga and The Big BW) to present an animated journey of the album.
While that musical direction had a new (old) twist, the actual recording process for Blackbird harks back to the classic albums of the past; literally everyone in a room playing together, fuelled in typical Freddy's fashion by some home cooking and fine aged rum.
The first official single to surface was Silver And Gold a staple of the bands European shows for nearly a year. Released as a free digital download on Freddys Soundcloud, the track sounds like the monster love child of George Clinton, The Congos & John Lee Hooker.
Over the course of the New Zealand summer Freddy's left the hot environs of their studio and hit the road for a nationwide winery tour, their biggest ever tour on home soil. From this journey emerged a window on the new album, a video of Freddy's performing new gospel funk monster Mother Mother live at Ascension Wine Estate, Matakana. DJ Fitchie mixed the live music recording on the road and the final video ultimately provides a tantalising taste of a song destined to feature on Blackbird.
Fat Freddy's Drop have carved a place for themselves in NZ music lore; highest selling album by an independent artist (2005s Based On A True Story), a slew of RIANZ Tuis for everything from Best Producer to Album of The Year to Peoples Choice awards, invitations to perform at internationally acclaimed festivals including Glastonbury, SONAR, Bestival, WOMAD, Lowlands, DEMF and Roskilde. ot to mention now legendary shows at venues such as Brixton Academy (LDN), Paradiso (Amsterdam), Vega (Copenhagen), The Coliseum (Lisbon), Henry Fonda Theatre (Los Angeles) and Le Trianon (Paris).
The band first emerged from the underground club scene of Wellington in 1999, jamming along to instrumental mixes of funk, house and hip-hop records dropped by DJ Mu (aka Fitchie) at parties around the Capital.
Thirteen years later and Freddys are still together, still doing things in their inimitable way and still getting better and better.
Band Members:
Dallas 'Joe Dukie' Tamaira (vocals)
Chris 'DJ Fitchie' Faiumu (MPC, samples, effects)
Tehimana 'Jetlag Johnson' Kerr (guitar)
Iain 'Dobie Blaze' Gordon (keyboards)
Toby 'Tony Chang' Laing (trumpet)
Joe 'Hopepa' Lindsay (trombone)
Scott 'Chopper Reedz' Towers (saxophone)

Fat Freddy's Drop Off to Australia, March 09 Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2009 12:43 pm Presented by Niche Productions, the magnificent Fat Freddy's Drop return to Australia in March for a series of heart-stopping shows that could deliver the answer to the question on fans lips worldwide - is the album out yet!? For the past three years, the New Zealand band has been conquering the globe with a slow burning boil up of hi-tek soul, jazz and reggae, road testing new songs for the follow up to their record breaking debut Based On A True Story and fielding album requests from fans in Europe, UK, USA and Australasia. In 2009 Freddy is getting ready to pull the catch on the sophomore album Big BW and shake that 'shiverman loose'. Fat Freddy's Drop was last in Australia around New Year for Days Like This! festival in Sydney and they played at Pyramid Festival on Philip Island - until stage crew had to physically remove the musicians mid-set as rain and wind battered the stage. Freddy's legion on the tour in March features two fresh faces that have melded seamlessly into the already seven strong jam heavy band - the rhythmic Riki Gooch on drums and the rock with the baritone voice Rio Hunuki Hemopo on backing vocals and bass. Rio Hunuki Hemopo will also play opening support for Freddy's on the Australian tour. Joined by guitarist Justin 'Firefly' Clarke, his set will include tunes from his debut 12" vinyl release Wahine Toa that was produced with DJ Fitchie at the Drop in Lyall Bay, Wellington. The Drop studio by the Pacific Ocean is where Freddy's has been recording Big BW. To date two tracks have been let out the bag - The Camel (ft Alice Russell) and Pull The Catch. The release date for the full album is close - the crowds are ravenous. 'SEX MUSIC...

Bad News Bears
I'm not often a victim of bad luck, but whenever I am, it seems to hits me pretty hard.
This past weekend was one of those times! On Saturday afternoon, I hit the gym with my new armband and my credit and debit cards in the cardholder (get where I'm going on?). After the gym, I went grocery shopping. I know I had both of my cards while I was at the checkout counter, but I couldn't find my debit card when I got back to my apartment. Luckily, I live about three minutes from the grocery store so I just ran back out and retraced my steps… No luck though. I'm guessing someone found it and picked it up because I had to have gone back within the span of 10 minutes. I had to call the bank and get it replaced.
You know how I talked about getting my bloodwork done in my June goals post? Well, I'd gone and had it done last Monday and the results were waiting in my mailbox when I got back from my debit card-hunting trek. Sadly, more bad news. I've been plagued with genetic high cholesterol since I was in high school and I was really hoping it'd gone down in the past year since I've gotten a lot healthier, in terms of both my eating and exercise habits. But according to my bloodwork, it's actually gone up slightly! Not significantly, but it was just very disappointing because that wasn't the news I'd been hoping to get. There was some other bad news in there that I don't really want to talk about… I need to call my doctor to talk about the results tomorrow and get some referrals for specialists. Boo.
And after all the bad news bears, I was totally drained and skipped my plan to write a post catching up on the week. But I'm trying my best not to make myself feel like I'm getting behind… S&R is my baby but it's not my whole life!
Now let's talk about the good stuff… Fooood! Here's some of the stuff I've been enjoying lately:
A sample of chocolate/vanilla swirl frozen yogurt from my building's cafeteria today. Topped with toasted coconut, yum! And how cool is this spoon?!
Vegan Divas' chocolate mousse, which I discovered at my company's cafeteria. Only 42 calories and absolutely delicious! Sadly, it's a little pricey ($3.50) for an everyday snack so I may try making it at home to get my chocolate fix.
Veggie burger with soy provolone and roasted red pepper hummus on an Arnold sandwich thin. I just bought all of these things and they are all things I need to buy again soon. It's a tasty combination and a very quick meal!
Roasted pepper lentil chips with roasted red pepper hummus. Another awesome combination! I'm just loving this hummus lately.
And raspberries! They're finally in season and I can't get enough!
Peace out, Cub scout!

Equity Investment in Privately Financed Projects
HC 1846, Eighty-first Report of Session 2010-12 - Report, Together with Formal Minutes, Oral and Written Evidence
- Author:
- House of Commons - Committee of Public Accounts
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Equity Investment in Privately Financed Projects (HC 1846)' examines the risks and rewards for private equity investors in government private finance projects. The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) model has been used by governments in some 700 projects over the last 20 years but defects, including failures to demonstrate the value for money case satisfactorily, the use of long inflexible contracts and the costly contracting process, and inefficient pricing of equity, have made continuing with the current model unsustainable.
The Treasury is currently reviewing the PFI model. It needs to improve flexibility in the way that private finance is used, establishing quicker and more efficient procurement procedures and achieving a better balance between investors' risks and their rewards.
Private finance should only be used where it secures real value for money for the taxpayer, not because of definitional statistical incentives to get projects off the balance sheet (only some 20% of long-term PFI liabilities are recorded as debt in the national accounts). Business cases must be an unbiased and transparent assessment of the best form of procurement for the particular project being undertaken, taking account of expected tax receipts from alternative options and not adjusting assumptions to bias the outcome of the assessment.
The Treasury needs to collect data on investors' experiences and use this information to assess and challenge investors' returns. There needs to be greater transparency over the pricing of contracts, and inefficiencies which add to the cost of private deals, such as long procurement times, need to be addressed.

Derwen Church passed to the Friends in 2001/2 following a declaration of redundancy. It is principally renowned for its medieval rood screen and its arched-braced roof also of the late medieval period. It also retains a font dated 1665 and two good Victorian stained glass windows, the second from the east on the south side being designed by H.E. Wooldridge and made by James Powell & Sons in 1869. The external double western bell-cote is dated 1688.
In the churchyard you will notice a very fine mid or late fifteenth century churchyard cross depicting the coronation of the Virgin, the Crucifixion, the Virgin and the Child and an angel with scales assumed to be St Michael. The cross, the churchyard and the lychgate with schoolroom above are still the responsibility of the parish and are not owned by the Friends.
St Mary's is listed Grade I.

Reverse Transcription
Choosing the correct reverse transcriptase for reverse transcription and cDNA synthesis is critical to obtaining high yields of quality full length cDNA with full gene representation. A reverse transcriptase with high temperature performance is important when transcribing RNA with secondary structure or when working with gene-specific primers. Reverse transcription with reduced RNase H activity reverse transcriptase enzymes produces more full length cDNA and greater gene representation.
The SuperScript® III Reverse Transcriptase is the most widely used brand of enzyme for cDNA synthesis, due to the proven ability to deliver reliable and consistently high yields of fully representative full length cDNA.
