CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR is reviewing evidence to determine if Michael Waltrip Racing deliberately attempted to manipulate the outcome of the race that set the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.
NASCAR President Mike Helton told The Associated Press before Sunday's Truck Series race at Iowa that officials in the scoring tower did not immediately see anything to believe Clint Bowyer's spin with seven laps remaining at Richmond was suspicious.
It brought out a caution with Ryan Newman leading Saturday night and poised to claim the final berth in the 12-driver Chase field. Instead, it set in motion a chain of events that led to Bowyer teammate Martin Truex Jr. earning the final berth and Newman losing both the race and a spot in the Chase.
When Bowyer spun to bring out the caution, Helton said race control, located in a suite above the track, could not determine if it was done deliberately to aid Truex.
"We didn't see anything that indicated that anything like that was taking place. And it's natural when everything was as close as it was between who was going to get in and not go in to scratch your heads and try to figure out and wonder why," Helton said. "But we didn't see anything initially (Saturday) night that indicated that, but certainly we'll go back through all the video and everything to be sure, because we take the responsibility very serious to be sure that it's — that everybody has had a fair chance."
An ESPN replay that included communication between Bowyer and his team implied the spin was deliberate. Bowyer was shown the video after the race and denied he spun intentionally, a claim he repeated throughout the post-race activities.
"We had a flat tire or something. It just snapped around," Bowyer said, later adding, "I know it's a lot of fun for you guys to write a lot of wacky things. Go ahead if you want to, get creative. But don't look too much into it."
But the in-car audio framed the situation as his crew goading him into spinning his car to bring out the yellow while Newman, who was battling Truex for the second wild-card berth in the Chase, was leading the race.
"Thirty-nine is going to win the race," Bowyer was told over his radio.
"Is your arm starting to hurt?" crew chief Brian Pattie asked. After a pause, Pattie said, "I bet it's hot in there. Itch it."
Bowyer's car then spun.
NASCAR did not have access to that audio until after the race, and it is presumably among the materials Helton was reviewing Sunday.
Also, it became apparent early Sunday morning that Bowyer and teammate Brian Vickers further aided Truex by taking a dive over the final three laps.
The race resumed with three laps to go and four-time series champion Jeff Gordon poised to claim the 10th spot in the Chase, with Joey Logano in line for the second wild-card.
But Bowyer and Vickers both made pit stops that helped Logano improve his finishing position enough that he claimed the 10th Chase berth, thus eliminating Gordon from contention. It freed up the wild card for Truex, and Gordon was not eligible for the wild card.

My trick to throwing a great party — and I love throwing a great party — is to keep my stress level as low as possible. Because an at-ease host makes for at-ease guests.
Cedar planks dress up warm glazed brie with fruit
For me, keeping party stress to a minimum means prepping as much food as possible in advance. That way when people are arriving, all I need to do is heat, plate and eat. This also lets you focus more energy on how the food is presented, which — especially for a party — can be nearly as important as taste.
One of my favorite party tricks is to use cedar wood planks for both cooking and serving. I love the look of the ruff hewn wood plank piled with food. And if the edges are a little charred, so much the better! One of my tried and true party appetizers that works with this technique is a grilled glazed brie with fresh fruit.
This recipe is a streamlined version of the baked brie I used to make. Back in the day, I would cut open the wheel of cheese, stuff it with fruit and nuts, then close it back up and bake it. But I like this glazed version better. It's simpler to prepare and looks more appetizing with all the delicious hot "filling" toppling over the side. I serve it with assorted fruit and water crackers, but baguette or your favorite crackers would be just as good.
I make the fruit and nut mixture in advance and keep it in a jar in my refrigerator so I can throw it together when friends drop by unexpectedly, or just when I am feeling like a treat. It works best on a small 8-ounce wheel of brie because the rind will contain the oozing cheese as it heats up.
You can use a slice of brie instead, but make sure that you don't heat it too long or all of the cheese in the center will melt and puddle out. You want the cheese and toppings to be just warmed.
The cedar plank adds a kiss of flavor, makes it easy to bake in the oven or pop onto the grill, and becomes your serving platter as well. I also use these planks as serving trays for lots of my little dishes. In fact, we use them in my restaurant as trays for passed hors d'oeuvres when we host special events.
One of my favorite uses is for chili con queso and chips. I heat the spicy cheese dip, pour it into a hollowed-out red pepper and serve it with chips on a wooden plank. Even a simple cheese platter is dressed up by the rustic slab of wood and makes an impromptu wine and cheese party feel more special.

Document Number: 5762What You Need to Know About Drug Testing in Schools - A June 2002 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court expanded the authority of public schools to test students participating in competitive extracurricular activities for drugs. This paper discusses the negative consequences of drug use by adolescents, the benefits of drug testing programs and lists the various methods of drug testing and the strengths and weaknesses of each. The paper also offers advice on the creation of drug testing programs, advising that as much of the community as possible � even opponents of the plan � should be involved in the design and implementation of any program and that effective programs should stress confidentiality of results and seek to rehabilitate those found using drugs, not merely punish them. (Office of National Drug Control Policy, September 2002)...

Laptime returns for fall at Powell Library
Laptime, a popular staple of programming at the A. Mitchell Powell Jr. Public Library for more than 20 years, returns this fall with a new leader and the same outstanding experience for two-year-olds and their families.
Coweta County Library Director Jimmy Bass prefers to call it "Laptime 4.0" in that the program is now on its fourth teacher, Christine Barnett. "We have had a great tradition of teachers for this beloved program and Ms. Christine is most qualified to carry on in the steps of Ms. Janet, Ms. Valerie and Ms. Michelle," he said.
Barnett holds a degree in Early Childhood Education and has taught at various levels of elementary education in the Coweta County School System for 15 years. She will not only be the new teacher but is also a past participant as her own daughter is a past graduate of Laptime.
Barnett feels that the experience was a great one on many levels. "It was a time to introduce my daughter to the library, meet new friends, and participate in singing songs, making crafts and listening to stories," she reflected. In addition to leading Laptime, "Ms. Christine" will work at the children's desk where she will assist patrons in finding books and information for the elementary and middle school level.
The first class will kick off Sept. 9 at 10:30 a.m. at the library on Hospital Road in Newnan. There will also be a class on Wednesdays at 10:30. If these classes become full, additional classes will be added on those days at 11:30. Bass welcomes all two-year-olds and their parents to try out "Laptime 4.0."
"We are continuing the tradition and tweaking it at the same time. Christine is excited about this new chapter in her career and we are very enthused about her new perspective, professionalism and passion for children's services," he said.
Anyone with questions about the program can reach Barnett or a children's staff member at 770-253-3625. Further information about library services can be found at the library's website, www.cowetapubliclibrary.org .

Cultural travelers know where to go in Thailand
Choosing where to go in Thailand can be a challenge, as the Southeast Asian nation is home to a wealth of beautiful cultural sites, scenic beaches and modern amenities. Travelers will want to narrow down what interests them within the country, which will help make plotting the course of a Thai vacation that much easier.
For those travelers who love ancient temples, palaces and other cultural hotspots, they will definitely want to check out the Wat Phra Kaeo, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This dazzlingly intricate building features the country's sacred emerald statue of Buddha, as well as some unforgettable murals depicting scenes from the magical epic known as Ramayana.
Those looking to shop or learn a bit about the country's modern culture should plan to visit the floating markets of Bangkok. Hop aboard a river taxi and explore the River of Kings, where you can buy everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to locally made crafts.
Nature lovers will love taking an elephant trek. These tours are available on many of the islands and jungles within Thailand and allow travelers a deeper connection with the natural world, as well as the unique experience of riding a massive pachyderm.

Art goes pop at United Art Fair
Art has always inspired its creators to paint society's turbulence and turmoil in grim hues. Cut to the ongoing United Art Fair, where contemporary artists, through the medium of pop art, are presenting dark humour in florid colours at the Pragati Maidan.
Artists like brothers Manil and Rohit Gupta, Sushant Panda, and Akhlaq Ahmad have taken cues from everyday life and interspersed them with their works that are a testimony of the growing "pop" art scene in India.
"I look at the word pop as a language that is popular and uses colours to represent the cultural dilemma we are living in. Usually dark humour or the message in this flush of colours gets lost, but clever eyes and neat observation can understand what the artist wants to say," Rohit Gupta told IANS.
The duo has five works at display with the circus as their theme and pig as a metaphor to take a dig at manhood and the human race.
"Life is a circus and we are all a part of it. We are the joker of the circus who is happy but we don't realise that we are the biggest jokers - like puppets whose strings are in someone else's hand," he added.
For Delhi-based Ahmad, his association with bright colours dates to his days of painting name boards of fruit juice shops with popular Bollywood faces.
Caption: Work by artist Hanif Kureshi at the United Art Fair
"I used to paint posters of Bollywood films in 2002 in Mumbai and then I started painting boards of juice outlets in Delhi. We had to use bright and happy colours, and my fascination for bright colours began from there," Ahmad told IANS.
His works are a collage of hoardings, Bollywood posters and fruit juice-shop paintings reminiscing a bygone era.
"That was popular culture once and it still will be if art is kept alive. Usually, people think that only if you paint in bright colours, it represents kitsch and pop. I am here to break that thought process. For me, the bygone is pop and it will always be popular. We just need to connect to the audiences," he added.
"Popular culture or pop art finds direct resonance with today's audience, and has power to attract the younger crowd," he added.
Orissa-based Panda has capitalised on the popular folk culture of Ganjam district and brought it to the art fair.
"There is a popular culture of performing tigers in Ganjam district. I have used that and added fashion elements and alphabets that lend it a pop status. The use of bright colours comes from the folk culture of body painting we have," Panda told IANS.
"I come from a small town and my association with Bollywood and the fashion world has introduced me to two different worlds. I have, through these works, tried to bring together both street culture and the glamour of entertainment," he added.
Though art is believed to deliver a message, Rohit Gupta pointed out that art should draw out people and not preach to them.
"We are not trying to preach to anyone. How you look at is what matters," he added.

Confidentiality law throws elected leaders for a loop
Frank Mann admits he was frustrated.
Presented with an opportunity to lure a Fortune 500 company headquarters to Lee County, commissioners were asked to vote on a $4.6 million incentive package this week. The only hiccup — they don't know what company they're luring.
"It just kind of seems absurd," Mann said of the vote to offer incentives to a company known publicly only as Project A. "That's what the frustration is."
Lee County commissioners aren't alone in their frustrations.
State law provides a one- to two-year public records exemption for eligible companies that submit a written request. It makes confidential to all but a select few economic development negotiators — but not county commissioners — a broad range of data, such as business plans, internal audit reports and trade secrets.
Advocates say the confidentiality is necessary to attract companies. Critics say it prevents elected officials from making fully-informed decisions about who they're giving money to and keeps citizens in the dark until its too late.
"I do strongly support making sure that commissioners and the public are in the loop whenever we are talking about providing any financial incentives to companies for economic development purposes," said Collier Commissioner Fred Coyle, who like Mann said he understands the need for confidentiality when talks first begin. But Coyle said a company should only be eligible for county incentives when it has made its name, financial records, business plan and other projections available to the public.
Lee County Economic Development Director Jim Moore is one of a select few who knows the true identity of "Project A" and who reviewed its financial records during the vetting process. He said people who want complete transparency will have to accept there will be fewer business offers available.
"There's a trade-off," Moore said. "You might give up some prospects in your effort to be more inclusive of the elected officials."
Barbara Petersen, president of the First Amendment Foundation, a nonprofit that lobbies for open government policies, said it is often difficult to argue for a more transparent economic development process because the conversation becomes about "jobs, jobs, jobs."
"But we also need accountability and oversight," Petersen said.
The confidentiality law prevents citizens from knowing what their government is doing until it is too late to voice an opinion, Petersen said. The protection of economic development is well placed "to a certain extent" but Florida's laws "go too far," she said.
"Not everybody wants a big box store in their community," Petersen said. "They should have an opportunity to express their concerns ... before the deal is done."
In February, Collier commissioners directed the county attorney to coordinate with the county's Economic Development Administrator Bruce Register "to draft amendments to and extensions for the county's economic development ordinances," which are set to expire this year, according to documents.
Collier County Commissioner Georgia Hiller brought the issue to the board. Attempts to reach her were unsuccessful, but at the February meeting she mentioned the state's confidentiality law as one of the areas she wanted reviewed.
The county's Office of Business and Economic Development is drafting the updated document and should have something to present to commissioners by the end of the month, Register said. He declined to speculate how the confidentiality provision will ultimately be handled.
"The board of county commissioners is going to direct how we approach that issue, and they have not determined that in their session yet, to my knowledge," Register said.
Collier Commissioner Donna Fiala said that if it were up to her, she would keep the confidentiality statute as is — even if commissioners have restricted access — because she is afraid the county would be "viewed as business unfriendly" otherwise.
"You can always cancel a deal, but you can never reinstate it," Fiala said.
She said it is a matter of finding the right time to make the information public.
"You don't want to kill a deal because you come out too early," Fiala said.
Lee commissioners have been bit before by companies that underperformed after receiving incentive money from the county. Most prominently, VR Laboratories received $5 million in funding for a south Lee County bottling plant but has created fewer than 10 of the 208 jobs it promised, according to county documents.
Mann said he approved the "Project A" incentives award agreement because it requires substantial capital investments from the company before any public funds are paid.
"There were enormous concessions on the part of the applicant," he said. "That offset the frustration."
In Lee, Mann said he was advised that county commissioners could not change the state's law with a county ordinance and instead would have to wait for there to be a policy change straight from Tallahassee.
"If there was a way to change it by local ordinance, I would do it," Mann said.
He counts himself among those waiting for the "Project A" public reveal.
"I don't think there's anybody in Southwest Florida who is more anxious about finding out that company's name than the members of the Lee County Commission," Mann said.

- Full Description
In this work, the unique power measurement capabilities of the Cray XT architecture were exploited to gain an understanding of power and energy use, and the effects of tuning both CPU and network bandwidth. Modifications were made to deterministically halt cores when idle. Additionally, capabilities were added to alter operating P-state. At the application level, an understanding of the power requirements of a range of important DOE/NNSA production scientific computing applications running at large scale is gained by simultaneously collecting current and voltage measurements on the hosting nodes. The effects of both CPU and network bandwidth tuning are examined, and energy savings opportunities without impact on run-time performance are demonstrated. This research suggests that next-generation large-scale platforms should not only approach CPU frequency scaling differently, but could also benefit from the capability to tune other platform components to achieve more energy-efficient performance.

GISD Magnet Fair - Oct. 17
Representatives from our magnet programs will present information about the educational opportunities for your child...Learn more
Magnet schools feature special programs not offered at other schools. In Garland ISD, there are twelve magnet schools for a variety of students: gifted/talented students, students with a high interest in math, science, and technology, students interested in classical studies, global business, Mandarin Chinese and students focused on college and career preparation.
All GISD magnet programs require prospective students to meet specific criteria to enroll. While a limited number of spaces are reserved at each magnet campus to accommodate neighborhood students, admission to a given magnet program is by invitation only.
Once a student is accepted, as long as he/she continues to meet participation criteria, he/she will usually continue with the magnet program from year to year.
For gifted/talented magnets, waiting list placement is determined by rank. In other words, students who have the highest rankings on standardized tests (gifted) or the highest rankings for their portfolio/audition (artistically talented) are placed at the top of the list.
For all other magnet programs, admission of new students and placement on waiting list is by lottery.
Magnet Application
See the individual program pages for application information.
See the Application Timeline page for dates and deadline information.
Bus Transportation
Students who live two or more miles from their magnet program are eligible for bus transportation. In the case of multiple campuses offering the same magnet programming, parents are advised to contact the Department of Transportation at 972-494-8530 or firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm the appropriate campus.

Frequently Asked Questions About Magnet Programming
Testing schedules are established for the school year for all students attending Garland ISD schools. Testing/application deadlines are distributed at the parent information meetings. Due to financial constraints, "on demand" testing is not available.
Each year, a limited number of places at the school are reserved for non-magnet students. In the elementary magnets and at Austin Academy (the middle school gifted/talented magnet), the number of neighborhood slots is quite small.
For "neighborhood" slots, preference is given to students living closest to the campus. Therefore, unless you live in the immediate neighborhood of the magnet campus, it is not advisable to choose a magnet school as your first or second "choice" school.
At the secondary level, with the exception of Austin Academy for Excellence, the magnet programs are operated as a "school within a school." This means that you may choose these campuses during the choice of school process, but you may not enroll in magnet program classes without prior admittance to the magnet program.

I saw this article on Co.Design about a startup that is making a 4-oz, pop-up, solar-charged lamp for use in third world countries.The company is using the, now-common, "buy one-in the 1st world, we send one to the 3rd world" model. The write-up looked intriguing, but it didn't talk about the hiking viability of the product.Claims are that 4-5 hours of sunlight will produce a 10-12 hour lamp runtime. And with the collapsable design, it looks like this might be a great idea for backpacking, especially for group trips. Cost is only $25, so I'm tempted to pick one up to try, but I was just curious if anyone here has heard anything or has any first-hand experience with the product.Thoughts?
As a general rule, a good light will give its power rating either in terms of wattage or lumens or candlepower. When the manufacturer does not mention any power at all, it is generally because the power is too low to be practical.--B.G.--
more info http://www.mpowerd.com/luci-differentProduct Specifications■Charge time of 8 hours yields a minimum of 6-12 hours of light■Luci charges under direct sunlight and even under incandescent light■Maintains a single charge for 3 months■Ten white Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) with 4000 mcd light source■Two brightness levels to conserve battery life■Flashing-light setting for emergency situations■Delivers up to 80 lumens providing 15 sq ft of light■The rechargeable lithium polymer battery pack can be charged while collapsed or expanded■300 - 500 cycle life■Over charge/discharge protection■Over current and short circuit protection■Waterproof PVC enclosure■Minimum lifespan of 2 yearsmaybe it would be good for thru-hiking - then you wouldn't have to worry about batteries
"Delivers up to 80 lumens providing 15 sq ft of light"Great. That means that it will not deliver more than 80 lumens. So, 1 lumen would meet that.--B.G.--
Good one Bob - I didn't notice that - very funnyand what does "15 sq ft of light" mean?maybe some marketing person made that list of specs
I've never heard the term "energy poverty" before... Makes about as much sense to me as Noise Poverty
energy poverty = no 110 V AC outlets?or 220 V AC or whatever you guys in the rest of the "energy rich" world use : )

Watch Johnson's press conference
MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin women's hockey head coach Mark Johnson met with the media at Monday's weekly news conference. Archived video of Johnson's appearance can be found above, while a complete transcript can be found below.
Mark Johnson: We're certainly looking forward to this weekend. We started sort of our festivity yesterday morning at 11 o'clock over at Vilas with an outdoor skate with our team. Bucky was there, had a great turnout, the ice wasn't quite as good as it was a year ago, and the sun wasn't out, but other than the wind, it was a good morning. Had a great turnout and sort of a build up to Saturday's game where we fill the bowl. In last year's event against Minnesota with almost 11,000 people, it was certainly a special evening. People got entertained to a great hockey game, and it certainly was worthy of raising a lot of money for a good cause. So we're looking forward to this week as we prepare for (Bemidji State) on Friday and Saturday night.QUESTION #1: Coach, your goal scorers obviously get a lot of credit, but can you talk about the job that your defense women and (Alex Rigsby) have done especially to kind of sure up that end?JOHNSON: Well, Alex, she's been consistent all season long. She came into camp this year in a better position from a health standpoint where when she came in as a freshman, she was coming off surgery. Her conditioning and strength certainly weren't up to where she wanted to be, where this past summer, she had an opportunity to do some things that she didn't do coming in her freshmen year. So she got off to a great start in the month of October, and through this weekend has been very consistent, certainly been one of our most consistent players. And she's had to make a lot of saves like she did up in North Dakota a couple weekends ago. She gave us an opportunity to win both those games.And certainly if you're going to have a good hockey team, you want to win games, it starts from the net out. And so she's your most important player and certainly has had a great season for us.QUESTION #2: Can you talk a little bit about what last year's Fill the Bowl was like, and just the excitement with crowd?JOHNSON: It's a special night. And that certainly was a very special occasion, and certainly thank the people in Madison, Don Becker Law Offices, Second Harvest Food Bank, and everybody within our athletic department that helped market it. You know, for our players, I guess the best compliment is you talk to the Minnesota players that played in that game and the Minnesota coaching staff. And they were as excited as anybody in the building because now they got an opportunity to play in front of 11,000 people. For them to come out in warm-ups and have the bottom bowl full. And as the game started, you had the two bowls full. So it was just a unique experience for our players because a lot of games we don't get that opportunity to play in front of that many people.And so to showcase our talent, and to showcase our players, and have the game that we had last year against the Gophers, it was, you know, one of the top three or four teams in the country last year. And so it was a tool that we could raise a lot of money for, and help a lot of people out, and at the same time showcase our sport.QUESTION #3: What is it about (Brianna Decker) where she just seems to have a nose for scoring goals, even on Saturday where she's kind of falling down and flips it in to the, what about her has allowed her to put up this?JOHNSON: Well, I think the biggest thing with Brianna is she's very competitive. You know, if you go on the ice with her, and there's one puck, chances are she's going to compete and try to hang onto that puck as long as she can. That's just the type of player she is. She doesn't like to lose on the scoreboard, and certainly doesn't like to lose any battles on the ice.
I think she's been gifted most of her career with the ability to get the puck in the net. And so it's that opportunity where how can I create situations on the ice that will allow me to score goals. And she's just very good at it, and she's scored a lot of big goals in her three-and-a-half years with us, and certainly hope that she's got some more in her back pocket.QUESTION #4: You got some goals, especially Friday night, from some women that don't normally score. Were you trying to develop some more of your depth this weekend?JOHNSON: No, that was a real positive thing. You know, when you can get some secondary scoring, and then some scoring from individuals that maybe haven't scored a lot of goals over their careers, or that particular season, it just strengthens your team. The deeper you can go in that category, you know, whatever sport it may be, you know, certainly makes you stronger.So see (Alev Kelter) score a big goal, in the middle part of that game Friday afternoon was huge. And so hopefully that will continue. We've got eight regular season games left, and if we can continue with some secondary scoring like we did Friday afternoon, your chances of winning certainly increase quite a bit.QUESTION #5: I'm going to put you on the spot here a little bit with post-season awards sort of coming up. How would you determine who has been the most valuable player on the team? You've had so many players obviously that have done a lot of good things, so many talented players. Is it too hard to try to pick someone who's made the biggest impact or?JOHNSON: Well, you could pick, you know, several individuals, and you know, tell a story about their season, and you'd probably end up pretty good. And then you'd take the next one and do the same thing and it would look pretty good. And so I really don't wrap myself around that. It's about team chemistry, it's about playing for the team, it's about, you know, getting one opportunity to do something special knowing at the end of the season that you won't get that chance again. And so those are the things I try to focus in on because now you have eight games left in the regular season. Collectively, what do you want to do as a team? I think, you know, if kids can really buy into the notion that it doesn't matter who scores, it doesn't matter who gets an assist, at the end of the day, you know, do we have more goals than the other team? And that's what you should be happy about. And so if Alev scores a goal Friday afternoon, that's should be a great thing. And if (Brooke Ammerman) scores in overtime, you know, Saturday afternoon, that's a special thing too. And I think if kids can really focus in on, you know, the attitude when I come to practice on a particular day, what can I do to make the team better, what can I do to make the teammate sitting next to me better, and focus in on those things, I think at the end of the day, you're going to be strong in numbers because you've got everybody on the same page.And at the end of the year, who gets picked as the most valuable, who's the most improved, you know, we leave that up to the team, we leave that up to the reporters. And so as a coaching staff, I think everybody on our team is important because you're going to need them at some point throughout the season. Really this weekend was the first time since I think the first weekend in November that we had everybody available to play Friday. And so, you know, you need everybody. Somebody may not dress one game, but all of a sudden the next game they're in there playing minutes, and they better be ready for that opportunity. So that's why I get into the notion that you have to have everybody on the same page, everybody pulling for one another, and everybody supporting one another. And I think if you're able to do that for an extended period of time, you really become strong in numbers.QUESTION #6: Could you preview the Bemidji series and why have you guys been so dominant over Bemidji over the years?JOHNSON: That won't help us Friday. They're probably the hardest working team if you talk to most of the coaches of teams that have played against them in our league. You know, they've had a very good season. They've been in the top ten for several weeks. And so, you know, no different than our preparation for Minnesota three weekends ago, you know, North Dakota a couple weekends ago. You have (Minnesota Duluth) coming in this past weekend we played.And so you can never put your hat on the coat rack and relax at any point in the season. And so we'll do some things. We'll watch some video, try to do some of the things that are going to make us successful Friday night, and hopefully the players will absorb it. You know, again, it gets down to matching work ethic and trying to outwork the team. And there's not a lot of things you throw in your hat as far as a formula to make you successful, but there are certain things that you've got to be able to do, and obviously, it's competing, it's playing hard, it's playing smart, you know, playing disciplined. And you know, those things don't change. Whether you're playing Bemidji or somebody else, you have to go on the ice willing to do those things to give yourselves the best opportunity to win. So we'll do our normal routine that we have done all season. We won't change too many things other than the color of the jersey of the opponent we're playing, get ourselves ready for Friday night.And hopefully, we'll come out with a real strong effort Friday, and do the same thing Saturday morning, look at the game films, what did you do well, what didn't you do well, how do we prepare, and get ready for Saturday night's game. And hopefully, in front of a big crowd Saturday night at our Fill the Bowl.

Economic Opportunity issues
Keeping the American Dream alive in the 21st Century means making sure families can still get ahead and join the middle class.
We know how the American Dream is supposed to work. A family of limited means works hard, plays fair, and lives frugally. Eventually, the family saves enough to buy a house or open a business. Within a generation or two, that family is firmly part of the middle class.
The deal should be the same today as it has been in the past: people who work hard and take responsibility should not be prevented from getting ahead by any barrier the public sector has the power to remove. So how can government help families meet today's challenges? What is the 21st Century equivalent of the Homestead Act or the GI Bill?
We have to start by thinking differently, because the old approaches don't work any more. On one hand, we can no longer pretend simply cutting taxes and shrinking government leads to prosperity, because that strategy leaves society powerless to help solve many of the problems families face today. On the other hand, we can no longer say it is enough to lift people above the poverty line, because there is a big difference between making a family a little less poor and actually helping it enter the middle class.
We should fight poverty, of course, because 10 percent of Colorado's families – and almost 13 percent of Colorado's children – still live below the federal poverty line. But at least twice as many of our families and children live in the economic no-man's-land between the federal poverty line and actual self-sufficiency. We must address their challenges, too, by ensuring that hard work pays and that necessities like housing, child care and health care are affordable.
And we should make sure that, as low-income families continue to climb toward self-sufficiency, they also can begin to save and build assets, because that is how they will ultimately leave dependency behind for good, join the middle class and achieve the American Dream.

CAAAA is a unique institution. It is an amalgam of the interests of only one interest group - advertising companies or advertising agencies, as they are interchangeably referred to by many in the industry and media. It was founded on the principle that advertising agencies have a specific business interest, which is distinct from that of advertisers and media owners. While, advertisers, media and agencies together constitute the advertising industry, advertising companies/agencies are often under pressure from advertisers to reduce their compensation; and media owners look to directly dealing with advertisers, bypassing the advertising agencies. The issues facing the agencies are therefore peculiar and need to be addressed by them collectively. CAAAA has taken on the role of shaping the future of the Asian agencies and through them aims to be a catalyst to grow the advertising business itself.
CAAAA was formally registered as a Society in Singapore on October 20, 2007. The day-to-day activities of CAAAA are governed by the Executive Committee and all principal decisions are taken at the General Meetings attended by members twice a year.

I cook a lot, both because I enjoy it and because mom is living with us. I'm often cooking two different meals because of her low-salt requirements. This stove is great. You won't be disappointed. Let me get the ONLY negative out of the way early. The bottom drawer, as others have said, needs further engineering. If you aren't carefully pulling it out at the center or using two hands, it gets katty-wompus. But I'll easily live with that for the rest of the stove's features.I read others' reviews talking about the top burners not adjusting. If you can't set your burners from low (barely on) all the way through high? You need a service call. Mine works just fine. Stove-top burners are sealed (as is the top). If you haven't enjoyed a stove like that before? You're going to love it. Cleaning is easy-peasy. It's auto features are intuitive; you'll get the hang of it in a jiffy. You will love-love-love this stove. I bought it sight-unseen off the internet through ABT and was not disappointed.

Overall I am pleased with the cooking part of this range. Functionality is a different story. The knobs to the gas burners turn too easily so that if someone leans against it or brushes by, the gas comes on but not the igniter so gas fills the kitchen. This has happened several times to the point that I have to remove the knobs.

We are very happy with our Whirlpool gas range. It is exactly what we were looking for with a "clean" look and burners that have variable temperatures.Nice job in designing it.

Great Appliance!

Cooks evenly whether on the cooktop or in the oven. I have not had any problems.
LOVE the stove, but next time not black.
By AliJ
from Menlo Park, CA
We purchased this to replace our 30 yr old range as part of an upgrade. Love the look, the sturdy burner grates and how smoothly everything works. Really happy with my choice. However,I would not buy black again-too hard to get clean without leaving streaks.

This stove is easy to operate, and very easy to keep clean. I especially like the heavy grates on the burners. It's a very good stove.
Big improvement
By Erin
from Greenville sc
The stove has been great so far, my husband was able to install it without too much trouble. I did notice a chemical smell the first few times we used it, but that seems very common for all ovens and the food cooked in there tasted fine. The oven cooks so quickly (the old one must have not been reaching temperatures because suddenly everything is done way sooner than we're used to). Very happy with it overall.
Great Range

INL works with international partners to develop regional and national approaches to border and maritime security. INL designs, plans, and funds foreign assistance programs to address border security, cross-border crimes, maritime security, aviation security, migrant smuggling, and trafficking in persons, to include the provision of training, workshops, and technical support provided by other U.S. agencies and international organizations. INL assistance courses provide technical, legal, and managerial training to enhance the participating foreign officials' ability to implement border security professionally and effectively.
In support of the U.S. National Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime, and other national security strategies, he U.S. government is committed to support domestic and international efforts on deterring and preventing the flow of illegal migrants into the United States, including through an emphasis on disrupting and dismantling trafficking networks before illegal migrants reach the U.S.. In this regard, INL coordinates with and complements the activities of U.S. federal law enforcement agencies to disrupt and dismantle major migrant smuggling rings that operate both domestically and overseas in both source, transit and destination countries. INL provides a broad array of law enforcement training to partner countries on ways to combat migrant smuggling including training on interdiction and on how to prevent passport fraud. Other programs are designed to foster implementation of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants, a key source of international standards in this area. INL works closely with partners such as DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs (CA), the Organization of American States, the UN Office of Drugs and Crime, and INTERPOL to implement these programs. Because migrant smuggling ignores and exploits national borders, INL programs promote international cooperation between the United States and our partners.
A number of INL's bilateral assistance programs incorporate border security elements, as well. Such support includes training and equipment for border forces, border infrastructure such as outposts and roads, and technical assistance.

Ahh, war... This is my honest impression from this movie. Exactly, NYC is similar to Shibuya, Shinjuk in Tokyo. There are not only many many cars but also many many walkers.

While business owners are faced with making a multitude of business decisions on a daily basis, there are significant decisions that ultimately must be made during the life of the operation. Sole proprietor businesses have full authority to make major business decisions without consulting anyone else.
Other small business entities, such as partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations, may have to consult others in accordance with the terms of business agreements and articles of incorporation. Below are top five biggest decisions business owners make, according to experts:
Starting the business
To start a business is no simple decision to make. It is therefore important to look inwardly and think deeply before coming up with any form of decision. According to experts, the single biggest decision a business owner makes is starting the business.
A significant amount of research goes into this decision-making process, as the owner identifies potential target demographics, researches the market and estimates operating costs and potential profit margins.
Associated with business start-up are related decisions regarding business and marketing plan creation, location selection, hiring of employees and selection of vendors or suppliers.
Applying for loans
Funding is critical in business. Small businesses often require financing for start-up, expansion or operating costs. The decision to take on a commercial or business loan is a significant one in the business owner's life. He must compare lending options and finance companies, make in-depth assessments of financial needs and ultimately repay the loan. Micro-businesses run as sole proprietorships or partnerships link their personal finances with the business finances, which can be a major risk if the business fails.
Branding and marketing
Wisdom is required here, because determining the specific way a business is to be identified and sold to the public consumer is a very important decision for a business owner.
Unsuccessful branding efforts or marketing approaches that are not well devised can hurt, rather than help the business. A good deal of money typically is invested in serious marketing efforts, so the choices and approaches must be well-planned.
Expanding operations
If a small-business owner wants to grow, he must make a decision to expand, add new products or services or partner with another small business.
Taking on such a move is a monumental business decision. A business owner must weigh the pros and cons of expansion efforts and consider the market and economic factors he originally fleshed out when originally deciding to launch the business.
Dissolving the business
The final important decision in a business owner's life is that of closing, selling or dissolving the company. The decision to cease operations is often more difficult than the initial decision to inaugurate the business. This is especially true when considering the financial investment that has been made and the potential impact a closure will have on established employees.

My name is Micki Garcia. I am currently enrolled in my final term as a third year student at Birthingway College of Midwifery. As a part of my education I am excited to conduct research and write a research paper on a topic of my choosing. My research project is aimed to explore the emotional satisfaction or dissatisfaction a woman may feel following a precipitous labor. Precipitous labor occurs when the baby is born within three hours of the first contraction.
You or someone you know will qualify for participation if you:
(1) have experienced precipitous labor
(2) that took place in a home or in a free-standing birth center, AND
(3) was attended by a midwife.
If any of the statements above are untrue for you, thank you for so much but we will not be needing your participation.
If all of the statements above are true, please consider participating by filling out a short survey. Filling out the survey should take no more than 5 minutes of your time and would help me greatly!
Thank you so much for your participation.

News Release
Bellevue Police attack identity theft with Shred-a-thon April 28
Each year, more than 5,000 Washington residents become identity theft victims. Bellevue residents can learn how reduce their likelihood of becoming identity theft victims and shred sensitive documents at no charge at the LEGIT Statewide Shred-a-thon on Saturday, April 28. Consumers and small businesses are invited to bring sensitive documents to be destroyed to the Washington Mutual Bank at Factoria Square Mall, 3919 Factoria Blvd. SE.
Iron Mountain will provide shredding from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or until trucks are full, whichever comes first. In order to accommodate as many people as possible, there is a limit of three grocery bags or two banker boxes per customer. Police, government officials, business leaders and other experts will be on hand to answer questions and share valuable information about preventing identity theft.
The event is one of 29 statewide organized by Washington's Law Enforcement Group Against Identity Theft, better known as LEGIT. The statewide shred-a-thon is the first for Washington, and possibly the nation, and aims to raise awareness of identity theft prevention and assist the public in keeping sensitive documents out of the hands of crooks.
Financial institutions, retailers, small businesses, nonprofit organizations and commercial shredding companies have volunteered to host simultaneous shredding events for the public.
LEGIT Chair Susan Storey, a King County deputy prosecutor, said the shred-a-thon aims to raise awareness of the importance of protecting personal information.
"Identity thieves rifle through trash, recycling bins and mailboxes in search of checks, bank statements and bills," Storey said. "They later use personal information provided on those documents to steal money from your accounts or open new credit cards. Both homeowners and businesses are at risk. We want consumers and businesses to develop habits for protecting personal information that become second nature, like locking your front door, wearing a seatbelt, and putting out a campfire. A thief can't steal an identity if he can't first find identity information."
LEGIT encourages consumers and businesses to think "SMART":
Secure your identity and financial information. Minimize risks. Act responsibly. Restrict access to only those who need the information. Think before providing personal information to requesters.
More information about the shred-a-thon, including other locations and a list of suggested items to destroy is available on the Attorney General's Shred-a-thon web page.

--Sarah Seelye (PSC Alumni fund recipient, 2013)
[Project Abstract]
Description: The Population Studies Center currently has six sources of endowment funding to support training and research activities for community members, each with its own set of objectives and eligibility. Award amounts vary by fund, but most will range from $2,000 to $10,000. Usually, funds will be available immediately after the awards are announced. Award duration should not exceed 12 months.
Eligibility: All PSC faculty, PSC research affiliates appointed before September 1 of the RFA year, and PSC predoctoral trainees may submit applications. PSC postdocs, postdoc affiliates, and predoc affiliates are not eligible to apply. Only one application per PI or PI team will be accepted.
Human Subjects: Activities involving human subjects must be approved by the UM IRB before funds can be released. Research collaboration with a foreign institution may require review by an in-country IRB; please contact Kerri Cross for assistance.
Expectations of Award Recipients: Those who receive funding for research projects are expected to discuss their findings in a meeting with other researchers and to submit a brief report at the end of the research period. Additionally, all small grant recipients will be asked to provide some follow-up information on related publications, grant proposals, dissertations, etc. as part of the Center's outcome metrics for our small grants program.
Application Procedure: Small Grant RFAs are generally issued in December. To streamline the process of applying for PSC's six endowment funds, we use a single Small Grants Application Form for all funds. The PSC Advisory Committee evaluates all proposed activities and determines the most appropriate funding source for those accepted. For additional information, you can consult a list of funded activities in prior years.
