SCARF Gently wind each hank into a ball.
Pull out the end of yarn on one ball, and examine the construction before beginning.
You will see that the yarn is a tube that has 'stitches' like a knitted fabric.
You will be crocheting into those 'stitches'.
Fold over the end of the yarn from the first ball for about 1 in.
(2.5 cm).
The only crochet stitch you will need to use for this Scarf is the slip stitch! Close to the top edge at the folded end of the yarn, insert your hook through the yarn and then bring it back out to create a loop on your hook.
Insert hook in and draw it back out a short distance about 1 in.
(2.5 cm) away to make a 2nd loop on your hook.
Draw this 2nd loop through the first - this is the first slip stitch and you now have just one loop on your hook.
Continue to slip stitch all along the top edge of the yarn, being sure to keep the yarn flat so that you're always working along the same edge.
You can work your slip stitches as described above, or you can simply insert your hook through the top edge of yarn to make the next loop on your hook.
As you continue to slip stitch, you'll see the ruffle developing.
Keep slip stitching until you reach the end of the first ball of yarn.
Turn your work, so that you are ready to work back across the slip stitches.
Insert your hook into the first slip stitch, then through the fabric of the 2nd ball to draw a loop from the 2nd ball through the slip stitch.Continue to insert your hook into the next slip stitch, then into the fabric of the 2nd ball of yarn until you reach the end of the 2nd ball of yarn.
Draw the end of the 2nd ball through the last loop on your hook to fasten off.
FINISHING With sewing thread and needle, sew yarn ends to the fabric of the Scarf.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Joe Wurzelbacher is getting his 15 minutes of fame--raising questions about what it means to be middle class. Better known as Joe the Plumber, he stepped into the limelight earlier this month when he asked Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic contender for the White House, about his tax plan. According to a New York Times story, Wurzelbacher asked Obama if he believed in the American dream, and voiced concern about having to pay higher taxes as a small-business owner. "I'm getting ready to buy a company that makes $250,000 to $280,000 a year," he told Obama. "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?" Obama gave a lengthy response, toward the end saying, "I think that when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
In the time since, the episode has made the rounds on the Internet, TV, in print and perhaps most notably, during the final presidential debate at Hofstra University. Sen. John McCain raised the issue of Joe the Plumber, and both he and Obama went on to explain why their tax plans would be more beneficial for America. According to a New York Times breakdown of the candidates' tax plans, Obama would repeal the Bush tax cuts for households earning more than $250,000, extend middle-class cuts, like the $1,000 child tax credit and the marriage penalty relief, and triple the earned income tax credit for workers earning minimum wage. McCain would make permanent nearly all of Bush's tax cuts, increase $3,500 personal exemption for dependents by $500 a year, until it reaches $7,000 in 2016, and offer the option to pay taxes under a simplified code with only two tax rates.
So what do the plans mean for middle-class workers like Wurzelbacher? Tax analysts in a NYT article said neither Wurzelbacher's personal taxes nor those of his business would be likely to rise under Obama's tax plan. However, a NYT graphic in the same story illustrates that the tax bill of a plumber in a situation similar to Wurzelbacher's would be slightly less under McCain's plan--$20,468--compared to $21,068 under the Obama plan, assuming no retirement contributions.
Despite campaign rhetoric and political squabbling, Joe the Plumber is raising bigger questions: How do we define middle class? The middle class is obviously squeezed, but why?
There's no standard definition for middle class, according to FactCheck.org, but in opinion polls, a vast majority of Americans say they're "middle class" or "upper-middle class," or "working class;" very few consider themselves "lower class" or "upper class."
"The middle class in America is much wider and deeper than most people suspect," says Al Lee, PayScale's director of quantitative analysis. "The interesting thing is that a wide range of challenging and respected professions offer middle-class compensation."
Here are several tables reflecting PayScale data on the pay earned in typical middle-class jobs, as well as jobs where most employees make more than $250,000/year:
Typical Middle-Class Jobs in Battleground States, and What They Pay
If you define middle class as those workers making less than $250,000 annually, the following are jobs that some may be surprised to find fall into the middle class bucket, on average.
National Pay Averages of Surprising Middle-Class Jobs
*at a company with approximately 500 employees
So, who are the people who make up the upper class -- those earning $250,000 or more annually? Here is just a sampling:
National Pay Averages of Jobs Typically Earning Over $250,000/Year
* at a company with approximately 500 employees ++ at 50 or more partners in firm
Joe the Plumber seems like the average middle-class American--working to provide for his family and pay the bills, concerned about his future finances and whether they'll improve.
His concerns about the American dream and his finances are reflecting the middle-class squeeze, which is about more than taxes. People are feeling squeezed because the traditional cornerstones of middle-class life are crumbling, says a report by American Human Development: wages in the middle have stagnated or fallen, while those at the top are soaring; job security has disappeared, the real-estate market has tanked, and public education is expensive. It's not excessive consumption by the middle class that's causing the problems, but the increasing costs of necessities (housing, food, energy, health care) coupled with stagnant wages, the report explains.
For example, median household income, which is $48,200, is down about $1,175 since 2000, while mortgage payments are up $1,730, gas bills are up $2,195, and utilities and food are up $330. To get by, more Americans--particularly women--are working, they're working longer hours, and they're accruing massive debt to finance their increasingly expensive existences. Millions are also doing without healthcare, skipping doctor visits and tapping into their retirement plans.
Easing the squeeze won't come easily. The more public debate we have about the issues causing middle-class angst, the better--whether it's in the context of Joe the Plumber, or not.
Background information on and definitions for terms in the data tables
Table 1 shows typical jobs most people consider middle class, which extremely rarely earn more than $250,000/year. Table 2 includes jobs often thought to be highly paid, but only top earners (about 10 percent) earn more than $250,000/year. Table 3 covers jobs where the typical employee (50 percent or more) earns more than $250,000/year, though some still earn less. The pay for jobs in tables 2 and 3 does not vary much by location; they are national jobs, so we report national medians.Average Pay is the median total cash compensation, including salary, bonus, commissions, overtime, etc. It does not include equity (stock) compensation. The median indicates that 50 percent of employees in this job earn less, and 50 percent earn more. Top Earners' Pay refers to the 90th percentile: only 10 percent of employees in this job earn more than this amount, and 90 percent earn less. All pay is for experienced employees, with 15+ years in the field/career. Figures in table 1 are rounded to the nearest $100, and figures in tables 2 and 3 rounded to the nearest $1,000.

Clinical Lab Tech program receives equipment donations
Published on Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Western Technical College's Clinical Laboratory Technician program recently received equipment donations from two area medical centers to help students gain hands-on training.
Black River Memorial Hospital donated an advanced automated hematology analyzer and supplies, which performs a complete blood count of red and white cells and platelets. The instrumentation will allow students to experience current technology in hematology automation. The estimated value of the equipment and supplies is over $7,000.
Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse donated an ID-MTS Gel System that will enable students in the blood bank lab to experience an alternative testing methodology for blood typing and cross-matching. The estimated value of the system is in excess of $5,000.
"We are extremely appreciative to receive this type of support from our medical partners," said Diane Osterhaus Neefe, Dean of Health and Public Safety at Western. "And, during difficult budget situations, these types of donations are even more critical."
Both facilities serve as clinical sites for students in Western's CLT program, and employees also serve on the program advisory committee.
Neefe notes that it is also important for the students to have technology and equipment in on-campus laboratories. "We prepare students in our classroom labs before sending them into the field," said Neefe. "Since both of the facilities employ Western Clinical Lab Technician graduates, they are really helping prepare their future workforce."

Good luck and best wishes for better days ahead. I hope that you find this information to be helpful and this answer to be ACCEPTable!
In these types of situations, the breathalyzer doesn't even have to be on the nose. Merely testing positive for alcohol at any level would be considered "misconduct" and give your employer grounds to take action. The employer wouldn't even have to give a breathalyzer -- smelling alcohol on the person would be grounds enough.
Hope that you find these answers to be ACCEPTable!

Local Lexicon of Assessment Terms
Links to more information will bring up a new window.
Affective Domain
Willingness to receive, respond to, value or attend to
particular phenomena or stimuli. (
Bloom's Taxonomy: Affective Domain)
More Information
Assessment Technique
The method used to assess identified objectives.
More information
Cognitive Domain
The ability to know, understand, apply, analyze, synthesize, and
evaluate. (Bloom's Taxonomy: Cognitive Domain)
More information
Course Assessment
Assessment techniques are brought to bear on the stated learning objectives of a given course. Assessment evidence may be collected during the semester within the course or at some time after the conclusion of the course. Assessment data gathered during the course reflects student progress in achieving stated course objectives, while data gathered after the conclusion of the course provides evidence of the persistence of stated learning outcomes over the time elapsed.
Curriculum Map
Presented in a matrix, a curriculum map relates program-level student learning objectives (usually enumerated in individual rows) to the courses and/or experiences that students take in progress to graduation (usually captured in columns).
Direct Measures of Student Learning
In contrast to opinion surveys and instruments that gather self-reports of student knowledge and/or ability, direct measures of student learning are generated when students are evaluated in their performance of a stated objective. Assessment techniques implemented can range from scoring rubrics to locally generated or nationally normed examinations of student performance. Third-party reports of what students know and can do represent direct measures of student learning when the reports are student-specific rather than summarized across a cohort of students.
Embedded Assessment
Also referred to as course-embedded assessment, these techniques generate assessments of course-specific student learning objectives entirely within the duration of the specific course. There are many assessment techniques that can be applied to routine assignments made within a course that can be summarized across multiple sections and/or multiple semesters to provide evidence of student learning at the program level.
Formative Assessment
Utilizes assessment techniques that emphasize the role of feedback in assessing how students are learning and then using the information to make beneficial changes in instruction and/or the learning environment. Formative assessment usually focuses on a limited set of specific objectives, often a subset of the complete roster of objectives identified by a program, and is focused primarily on the improvement of program delivery.
Indirect Measures of Student Learning
Usually found in opinion surveys and instruments that gather self-reports of student knowledge, indirect measures of student learning are generated when students report on their own progress of learning, what experiences they attribute their learning to, how they feel about what they know, and what students value as a result of their educational experiences. Third-party reports of what students know and can do represent indirect measures of student learning when the reports are summarized across a cohort of students rather than student-specific .
Performance/Skill Domain
The ability to imitate, manipulate, perform with precision, and
articulate. (Bloom's Taxonomy: Psychomotor Domain)
More information
Pipeline Analysis
Employs analysis of student flows into, through, and out of an academic program. Pipeline analyses can highlight:
- Sources of student matriculations,
- Time durations and unit achievements while students are enrolled,
- Typical paths of student course enrollments,
- Illustrative trends in student flows over time and
- Potential targets for improved student flows.
Program Assessment
Assessments of student learning and development of program goals and objectives provide program faculty opportunities to evaluate the effectiveness and status of their academic program at the same time they reflect vital information to use in improving curriculum and instruction. Program assessment is comprehensive across a set of prioritized program objectives in contrast to course assessment that is limited to course-specific objectives.
Summative Assessment
Utilizes assessment techniques that emphasize the comprehensive achievement of program objectives across comparatively large student cohorts. While summative and formative assessment need not be mutually exclusive, the tenor of summative assessment is to provide evidence of accountability and achievement of comprehensive program outcomes compared to formative assessment, which focuses feedback to improve program delivery.

Sanne Ytting dreamed of bringing the foods of her native Denmark to New York City, where she's been working as a teacher and psychotherapist for more than a decade; after translating her desire into action, Aamanns-Copenhagen opened earlier this month, serving up artfully constructed smørrebrød, Denmark's signature open-faced sandwiches.
Aamanns-Copenhagen is located in New York City's TriBeca neighborhood in the Tribeca Film Festival building; it's NYC's first exclusively Danish restaurant, finally open after a year long delay due to kitchen installation complications.
Traditionally eaten as either a snack or a meal, the sandwiches at Aamanns-Copenhagen are made with richly malted rye bread; everything at the restaurant is made from scratch. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible and all salting, pickling, smoking and curing is done in-house. Diners can also imbibe some house-infused liquors with flavors like apple-walnut and beet. Tasting menus and sampler options are also available, as are house-made Danish desserts.
The design of the restaurant is, not surprisingly, minimalistic and clean (read: plenty of white and light wood) with elements by Danish designers integrated throughout, a visual echo of the clean, clear flavors presented at the table.

A basketful of Android apps for a happy Easter
I picked up a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs while grocery shopping the other day, an irresistible by-product of my love for Easter (and peanut butter). But sweet treats aside, Easter is one of the most revered holidays in our 365-day calendar. It's no wonder there's so many Easter-related apps made for Android. From planning a family meal to organizing an egg hunt, Easter keeps us busy, and these Android apps keep us sane.
Epicurious Recipe App (Free)
Easter is an opportunity to pull out all the stops for a family dinner. Search recipes and cooking tips from world-famous chefs with the Epicurious Android app. You get images, ratings and an in-app shopping list with each recipe. With a special section for holidays and special events, you're bound to find a special something for Easter dinner. Check your favorites tab for any meals you've tagged throughout the year. The Food Network also has a great meal-planning app for specialty menus.
Poynt (Free)
A local app can be a jack of all trades during the holidays. Whether you're looking for a place of worship or a local event (perhaps an Easter egg hunt?), Poynt can help you find it. This local search app reveals activities, events, people and venues to explore. Review restaurants if you're one to brunch after Easter service, and make reservations directly. Travelers also get local gas prices, while shoppers will appreciate any Easter sales offers coming through this Android app.
Bubble Blast Easter (Free)
Rovio's veered from its expected Easter update to Angry Birds Seasons this year, opting for a Cherry Blossoms update to celebrate the onset of spring instead. That leaves us with Bubble Blast Easter, a year-round game dedicated to the iconic Easter egg. Gameplay is like the regular Bubble Blast games, with colorful eggs, insects and bunnies instead of spheres to trigger a chain reaction. There's puzzle and arcade mode, accounting for thousands of levels (some of which will cost you). Easter is just one of many holidays Bubble Blast gamifies. There are games for Halloween, Valentine's Day and St. Patty's Day too.
Easter Eggs Coloring (Free)
For kids and adults alike, it's just not Easter without a carton of decorated eggs. Skip the mess this year with a digital coloring book full of patterned eggs awaiting your colorful touch. Use your fingers to color in the eggs, with zoom options for the detailed and an array of brushes and colors to choose from. Decked-out eggs can be posted on Facebook or Twitter, sharing your Easter spirit with the world. Originally designed as an art game, Easter Eggs Coloring is a great app for tablets, especially when you have an antsy kid to distract.
Shopkick (Free)
From grocery store coupons to local deals, Shopkick could save you money this Easter. Holidays tend to attract sales and Easter's no exception. Earn rewards for shopping at participating locations, including convertible currency, badges and free donations. Shopkick hid Easter eggs in various retail locations last year, giving your rewards pot an extra boost. You're likely to see a similar promo in the coming weeks.

Activists gathered on Thursday outside of the West Chester office of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, asking the House's top official to look at reducing military spending when coming up with a budget.
The group of nearly two dozen — which included nuns, a veteran, a retiree advocate, a small businessman and progressive activists — held signs reading, "It is time for Nation Building in the United States. Cut Massive Pentagon Budget Now!" and "End Tax Breaks for Richest 2%."
"We're here today in front of Speaker of the House John Boehner's West Chester office to drive home the fact that we believe that over 50 percent of the budget magically, this elephant in the House, has failed to be discussed as we discuss taking away services that provide human needs," said David Little of Progress Ohio.
"Any discussion that fails to address excesses in that budget is failing the American people."
Little added that it was possible to support the troops and veterans without spending billions on pointless wars.
Butler County attorney and Navy veteran Bruce Carter said the military can be more efficient in what he called the changing mission.
"When you refuse to have a discussion on over half of the budget, that's like trying to tell the Bengals to win a game without going over the 50 yard line," he said.
The group had a letter to deliver to Boehner, which contained what they called a statement of principles.
"We believe in a holistic approach to the budget crisis, and in order to protect the middle-class, cuts to the Pentagon need to be at the forefront," the letter states. "We understand that Pentagon cuts are a controversial issue, however, Pentagon cuts in the sequester do not threaten our national security."
The letter suggests that some of the money currently being spent on the Defense Department goes to providing services for veterans.
The military accounted for about 52 percent — or $600 billion — of discretionary spending in fiscal year 2011.
In contrast, education, training and social services collectively made up 9 percent of the budget.
The group of four activists weren't allowed into Boehner's office, but a young staffer met them outside. He said that the speaker thought everything should be on the table when it came to budget cuts.
In-person early voting is underway in Ohio. Find your nearest polling booth here.
The final presidential debate is tonight. It will cover
foreign policy. The debate will likely focus on the recent attack on
the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya and Iran's nuclear program. Whatever happens, political
scientists say debates typically have little-to-no electoral impact. In
aggregate polling, Obama is up 2.2 points in Ohio and Romney is up 0.3 points nationally. Ohio is considered a must-win for Romney, and it could play the role of 2000's Florida. The debate begins at 9 p.m. It will be streamed live on YouTube and C-SPAN.
CityBeat will host a debate party tonight at MOTR
Pub in Over-the-Rhine from 7:30-10:30 p.m. Come watch the debate and live
tweet. Councilman Chris Seelbach will make an appearance. If you can't
show up, at least tweet if you watch the debate with the hashtag
#cbdebate. Check out the event's Facebook page for more information.
If Gov. John Kasich gets his way, 60 percent of bachelor's
degrees will be completable in three years by 2014. The move intends to
raise graduation rates and save money for students. Currently, very few
students graduate in three years. Only 1 percent of Miami University
students and 2 percent of University of Cincinnati students graduate
that quickly.
Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee, a new education
policy approved by Kasich that requires all students to be proficient in
reading in third grade before they can move onto fourth grade, could
cause 40 percent of students to be held back in some schools.
The policy is meant to encourage better progress and higher reading standards, but some studies
have found retention has negative effects on children.
The Urban League of Greater Cincinnati announced a merger and expansion into Dayton. The organization will now be called the Urban League of Southwest Ohio.
Greater Cincinnati home sales ticked up in September, but there was some slowdown.
The end of the Scripps trust that funded the Cincinnati-based E.W. Scripps Company could lead to the end of a few newspapers. But Ohio will not be affected; the company no longer owns newspapers in the state.
Plant identification has never been easier at Cincinnati parks.
University of Cincinnati researchers are using a $2.7 million grant to see if there's a difference between generic versus brand drugs for transplant patients. The study could potentially save money and lives.

Newly restored digital copies of 73-year-old maps detailing where U.S military veterans are buried throughout Hamilton County will be unveiled Wednesday.
The Hamilton County Recorder's Office recently received map books dating to 1939 that were thought to have been destroyed. Created by the Works Progress Administration, the map books register the burial location of every veteran in the county who had served dating back to the Revolutionary War.
The maps list details about area veterans who served in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the War with Mexico, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I.
Eventually, the records were transferred to microfiche between the 1950s and '70s, and the map books were given to a local resident. The filmed copies began degrading over time and are of poor quality, causing problems for historians, genealogical researchers and others who tried to use them.
A member of the Ohio Genealogical Society ultimately acquired the original copies of the map books and presented them to the Recorder's Office in February. Since that time, the office has worked to transfer the images to a digital format and enhance their quality. All of the images now are available on the Recorder's Office website.
County Recorder Wayne Coates will unveil the newly restored records at 2 p.m. Wednesday. The event will be held in Room 205 of the County Administration Building, located at 138 E. Court St., downtown.
Supporters of low income housing programs are criticizing a bill proposed by U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood). Chabot's proposal would impose restrictions on people who use the federal Section 8 housing program, which provides vouchers to help poor people pay their rent. Among his changes, people only would be able to use the program for five years. In Cincinnati, however, 53 percent of clients already leave the program within five years. Of the 47 percent who remain, many of them have problems like mental health issues and likely would become homeless and more expensive to deal with for the government, a housing advocate told The Enquirer.
To prepare for an influx of foreign visitors when the World Choir Games begin here in July, a new language translation tool is being launched. Cincinnati-based Globili is testing its text and mobile application for cellphones and smartphones that translates signs, menus and ads into about 50 languages. The event will be held July 4-14 at various locations in downtown and Over-the-Rhine including the Aronoff Center for the Arts and Music Hall.
It's been 147 years since the U.S. Civil War ended, but Kentucky lawmakers are just now getting around to abolishing a pension fund for Confederate veterans. The measure, which passed Kentucky's House of Representatives unanimously on Feb. 29, now heads to the state Senate for a vote. No one who is eligible to receive the pension has been alive for at least 50 years, lawmakers said. I guess things really do move more slowly in the South.
Business at the venerable Blue Wisp Jazz Club has increased since it moved to a new location at Seventh and Race streets in January. The club's owners attribute the jump to more pedestrian traffic and the number of hotels located near the new site. The front room includes a bar and restaurant accessible with no cover charge, while the back room is reserved for performances by Jazz musicians.
Steep spikes and drops on standardized test scores, a pattern that has indicated cheating in Atlanta and other cities across the nation, have occurred in hundreds of school districts and charter schools across Ohio in the past seven years, a Dayton Daily News analysis found. The analysis doesn't prove cheating has occurred in Ohio, but documents show state officials don't employ vigorous statistical analyses to catch possible cheating, discipline only about a dozen teachers a year and direct Ohio's test vendor to spend just $17,540 on analyzing suspicious scores out of its $39 million annual testing contract.
In news elsewhere, the U.S. Supreme Court begins its constitutional review of the health-care overhaul law today with a basic question: Is the court barred from making such a decision at this time? The justices will hear 90 minutes of argument about whether an obscure 19th-century law — the Anti-Injunction Act — means that the court cannot pass judgment on the law until its key provisions go into effect in 2014.
When it recently was announced that a U.S. soldier who allegedly went on a shooting spree in Afghanistan would be charged with 17 counts of murder, many people wondered about the number. After all, early reports indicated Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, a Norwood native, allegedly killed 16 people. Military officials decided to charge Bales with murder for the death of the unborn baby of one of the victims, a senior Afghan police official said today.
In a possibly related incident, a gunman in an Afghan army uniform killed two NATO soldiers today at a base in southern Afghanistan, NATO's International Security Assistance Force has said. Details were still sketchy, but NATO said in a statement that an individual wearing an Afghan soldier's uniform had turned his weapon against international troops. Coalition forces then returned fire, killing the gunman.
China and the United States have agreed to coordinate their response to any "potential provocation" if North Korea goes ahead with a planned rocket launch, the White House says. North Korea says the long-range rocket will carry a satellite, but U.S. officials say any launch would violate United Nations resolutions and be a missile test.
Somehow, 71-year-old Dick Cheney managed to get a heart transplant Saturday after spending nearly two years on a list waiting for a suitable organ to become available. Cheney, a former U.S. vice president and — some would say — unindicted war criminal, got the transplant even as much younger, healthier people continue to wait for a new heart. (My guess is he made a pact with Beelzebub.) Cheney has had five heart attacks over the years, the first occurring at age 37.

If winning is now the name of the game under NASCAR's new Chase format, that approach obviously favors some drivers more than others.
And it not only favors the drivers who win the most races from year to year. It also favors drivers who excel on certain tracks, who are great on late restarts, who excel under pressure and who have the knack for producing a surprise victory on occasion.
Who does it not favor?
Drivers who rely on consistency to make the Chase and have trouble winning races on a consistent basis.
Here's a look at the drivers who could be helped most by the new win-based system.
New favorites emerge under different Chase rulesnascar February 5, 2014 10:17am EST February 3, 2014 5:14pm EST Six-time champion Jimmie Johnson has been the championship favorite for the past decade. But the game has changed. Under NASCAR's new Chase format, it's all about winning, and that may favor a new group of drivers.
If winning is now the name of the game under NASCAR's new Chase format, that approach obviously favors some drivers more than others.
2 Matt Kenseth
Ten years ago, Matt Kenseth cruised to the championship despite winning just one race. The next year, NASCAR scrapped the old points system and implemented the Chase.
A year ago, Kenseth won a series-high seven races and didn't win the championship.
So what does NASCAR do? Switch to a win-based format.
Is this a make-good move, or is NASCAR just messing with Kenseth?
Coming off a seven-win season, count Kenseth among the favorites under the new system. He's consistent enough to stay in the hunt and proved last year that he can win at anytime. He also was the highest-finishing Chase driver in the season finale.
3 Jimmie Johnson
If the new Chase favors winners, well, no one has won more races in the past 10 years than Johnson. He also has won more Chase races — 23 — than any other driver.
Johnson can win to make the Chase, win to stay in the Chase, and win to capture the championship in the season finale.
Though he has never won at Homestead, he hasn't had to, clinching his six championships at the track. Johnson considers it one of his best tracks and a place where he can win if he has to.
4 Kevin Harvick
Harvick has averaged three wins and a fourth-place finish in points the past four years. He also has three Chase wins in the past two seasons. If he can continue that trend at Stewart-Haas Racing, he will be in the hunt.
Harvick has shown a knack for winning big races at opportune times, which is the key to the new Chase. He also tends to come on strong at the end of races, which should help him in a format where wins mean more than logging top-five finishes.
5 Kyle Busch
Aside from Jimmie Johnson, who else would you want in a pressure-packed, winner-take-all race?
Busch has won more races than any driver other than Johnson since 2008, but surprisingly has never won a Chase race.
That would seem to stack the odds against him going into the Chase, but putting more emphasis on winning favors Busch's aggressive style. No one is better on late restarts, and no one should be better in a shootout for the win or the championship.
With a career-high fourth-place finish in last year's Chase, Busch finally proved that he can be consistent enough to get to the final race.
6 Denny Hamlin
If there is one thing Hamlin can do, it's win — he has 20 wins in the past six seasons, including one in his injury-marred season last year.
Hamlin also has proven he can perform in the Chase, nearly winning the title in 2010 and finishing in the top five in the Chase standings three times.
Hamlin says he is fully recovered from the back injury that derailed him last year and is determined to return to form. No one will be hungrier to win races and return to the Chase.
Oh yeah, and Hamlin has two wins at Homestead, including last year.
7 Tony Stewart
Stewart has never had a winless season, winning at least one race in 15 consecutive seasons, and has missed the Chase only once. So you can go ahead and pencil him in for one of those Chase spots.
And he proved in 2011 that he can get hot at the right time and put together a dramatic championship run. He also proved that season that he win a winner-take-all event, rallying to win the 2011 title by beating Carl Edwards in the season finale.
Stewart should be completely recovered from his broken leg by midseason and should be ready to make a run at the Chase and the championship. He's usually at his best in pressure situations and has won championships under three different systems. It's easy to see him winning a fourth under this format.
8 Kurt Busch
No one is hungrier for a win than Busch, who hasn't been to victory lane in two years.
Aggressive on restarts and at the end of races, Busch should be able to win with Stewart-Haas Racing.
He also has been in a similar Chase scenario. He had to produce clutch performances every week and in the season finale to win the inaugural Chase in 2004. It will take a similar performance under the new system.
9 Ryan Newman
Newman is about as inconsistent as they come, but he's good for about one win a year and usually challenges for a spot in the Chase.
The thing that Newman has going for him is that he is great on restarts and knows when to pounce when a win is within reach. One win is all it takes to make the Chase now. Newman can do that.
10 Kasey Kahne
Kahne has proven he can win, but he is too inconsistent to win a championship under the old system.
So no one was happier to see NASCAR scrap the old system and make it easier for drivers like Kahne to make the playoffs.
"I've been a little inconsistent over the years at times, so I think this helps me," he said. "It gives me a better shot to make the Chase and then maybe go for the points at the end."
If Kahne can time his two or three wins just right, he could be a factor under this system.
11 Brad Keselowski
Keselowski has proven to be as streaky as they come.
He rode a hot streak into the 2011 Chase, and then strung together enough consistent finishes to beat Jimmie Johnson for the 2012 championship.
He was terrible last year, missing the Chase and slumping to 14th in points, but still managed to win a race. He has nine wins over the last three seasons.
If Keselowski can win early and make the Chase, he proved in 2012 that he knows how to win a championship, so getting through the elimination rounds might not be a problem.
With long-term consistency not that big of a deal anymore, a Keselowski hot streak could lead to another championship under this system.
12 Jamie McMurray
McMurray has never been consistent enough to make the Chase, but he has proven he can win big races (2010) and is a major threat on the restrictor-plate tracks. Like Kahne, this system chould help him make the playoffs.
If he can make it through the first elimination round, he could win the October race at Talladega — which he won last year — to make the final round before the season finale. From there, anything is possible.
13 Marcos Ambrose
One of the knocks against the new Chase is that it helps drivers who struggle in the standings but can win on one specific type of track.
That favors Ambrose, NASCAR's best road-course driver. The road-course races are now huge under the system, because it opens up an opportunity for drivers like Ambrose, AJ Allmendinger, Martin Truex Jr. and others that have a chance to win on road courses.
Ambrose has won twice at Watkins Glen. If he can do it again, he will make the Chase for the first. This new system might even make him more valuable and persuade him to postpone a return to his native Australia.
14 David Ragan
Ragan also seems to excel on one type of track — restrictor-plate tracks.
He has two career wins, both on restrictor-plate tracks, which gives his small, underfunded Front Row Motorsports team a chance in those races. He took advantage last year, scoring an upset win at Talladega with teammate David Gilliland pushing him across the finish line.
If he can do it again, he could produce another huge upset — getting his undermanned team into the Chase for the first time.
15 Kyle Larson
If Larson is as good as everyone says, he could win a race as a rookie. And with nothing to lose, he can go for it under this new system.
Chip Ganassi Racing, in fact, favors the new system perhaps more than any other organization because it is typically inconsistent but has two drivers who can win races. It's main focus now is not consistency but winning.
Larson and his team likely will gamble as much as anyone to try to win a race and make the Chase in his first season. And many believe he has the talent to do it.

PHILADELPHIA — LeBron James missed once, then again, whiffing on two easy looks at the rim that could have left Miami shaken.
Like a good teammate, Dwyane Wade swooped in for the saving tip, preserving the lead and keeping the Heat's amazing winning streak rolling.
James scored 27 points and the Heat became the fourth team to win at least 20 consecutive games in a season, beating the Philadelphia 76ers 98-94 on Wednesday night.
Against a struggling Sixers team that was revved up like a playoff game, the Heat just found a way to win.

And when it was done, Miami took the time to admire its mark.
"Twenty is special," Wade said. "Win 20 games in a row, it's awesome. You can't get around it. We're going to try to go for the next one."
Wade scored 21 as the Heat needed big baskets over the final two minutes to top the Sixers for the milestone win. He stuck with the ball on James' misses and scored the clutch tip that made it a three-point lead with 29 seconds left and squashed the Sixers' upset bid.
"It shows you he, like many of our guys, are just willing to make winning plays at the end," coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Bryant sprains
left ankle
ATLANTA — Los Angeles star Kobe Bryant severely sprained his left ankle after missing a tying shot in the closing seconds of a 96-92 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
The Lakers said he's out indefinitely, just as the team is pushing for a playoff spot after a miserable start.
The injury occurred after Bryant put up the baseline jumper with three seconds remaining. His left foot landed on defender Dahntay Jones' right foot, twisting awkwardly as Bryant crumpled to the court.
• Kevin Garnett scored 12 points, passing Jerry West for 15th on the NBA's career scoring list, and Paul Pierce joined him among the top 20 scorers in league history with 15 points to lead host Boston to a 112-88 victory over Toronto.
• Carmelo Anthony's return to the Pepsi Center — his first game since demanding a trade to New York more than two years ago — was a flop when Wilson Chandler scored 24 points and Denver blew out the ailing Knicks 117-94.

Legislator paycheck fight heads to court | Politics
The Legislature returns to Sacramento on Monday from a week-long spring recess, soon to head into the homestretch of budget negotiations. And it's possible that those negotiations will hinge on a fascinating -- and somewhat nasty - court fight between legislative leaders and the state's chief financial officer over the meaning of a 'balanced budget.'
On Tuesday afternoon, a Sacramento superior court judge is scheduled to hear the case of Steinberg, Perez v. Chiang. The plaintiffs, Assembly Speaker John Perez and Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, assert that Controller John Chiang overstepped his legal authority last June by withholding legislator paychecks for almost two weeks.
You'll recall that was the first big test of the budget process revised by Proposition 25, the 2010 voter-approved amendment to the state constitution ostensibly making it easier to approve a state budget (by a majority vote in each house), but also adding a political sweetener for the voters: no budget, no pay.
But that phrase - "no budget" - is where this dispute began. Legislators asserted that they had done their constitutional duty by sending a budget to Governor Jerry Brown by the June 15 deadline. But Brown quickly vetoed that spending plan - the first gubernatorial veto in modern California history - and Controller Chiang then quickly determined that "the numbers simply did not add up"... thus, blocking paychecks for members of the Assembly and Senate.
It was a short fight in 2011, but now we're going to get a look at the underlying question: what's the threshold for calling a budget balanced? And does the controller, or anyone else, have the power to tell legislators they're wrong and thus won't get paid?
The two sides have filed some very testy court documents in this case over the past few weeks, with arguments that Sacramento Superior Court Judge David Brown will now have to sort out.
Speaker Perez and Senate pro Tem Steinberg, represented by retired state appeals court judge Arthur Scotland, argue the only issue to be resolved is whether Prop 25 gives the state controller any new role in crunching the revenues and expenses contained in a budget approved by both houses.
"The controller did just what the Constitution's separation of powers prohibits," argues one of the Steinberg/Perez court filings. "[Chiang] took it upon himself to reweigh the estimate of General Fund revenues... and substituted his own estimate for that of the Legislature."
But Controller Chiang, represented by Attorney General Kamala Harris, throws Speaker Perez's own June 2011 press release back at him in one court filing - a press release that read, in part: "I support the Controller's decision to withhold paychecks from the Legislature if we do not send a comprehensive, balanced budget to the Governor by our Constitutional deadline."
Chiang goes on to argue that the lawsuit from the two legislative leaders, both his fellow Democrats, "would neuter Proposition 25's pay forfeiture penalty."
And that shines some light on what will be a key part of this courtroom debate on Tuesday: is this a systemic fight over separation of powers -- the executive branch, to which Chiang belongs, versus the legislative branch? Or is this a more personal fight about legislators who were angry that they weren't paid?
Perez and Steinberg assured reporters in January that it's about the principle and the ensuing precedent, and said that's why the lawsuit isn't asking for legislators to be paid back the salary they lost. But it's also true that a number of rank-and-file legislators both publicly and privately seethed at having their paychecks canceled. And while they may realize the negative PR they'd almost certainly would get for asking for back pay... they also wouldn't mind cashing those checks if it comes to pass.
The outcome of the case is especially important for this year's budget negotiations. While Democratic legislative leaders and Governor Brown seem largely on the same page about budget priorities and the need for additional taxes via a November ballot initiative, there's still some healthy disagreement about a number of Brown's proposals. And should the governor and legislators find themselves at loggerheads on Friday, June 15, 2012... well... what happens to those 120 politician paychecks?
Stay tuned... this one could get interesting.

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
It's not good news I'm afraid.
You cannot apply for a visa for him based on your marriage until you are both 21 years of age. This criteria is applied very strictly and there is no flexibility in it whatsoever, it's for public policy reasons and is supposed to prevent forced marriages.
Once you are both 21 years of age you can either apply for a fiance visa to marry here or a spouses visa after you have married out of the country.
The eligibility criteria is largely similar for both applications.The advantage is that if your fiance visa is refused then you are not married. If you marry and you spouses visa application is refused initially and then on appeal then you are stuck being married but in different countries.
Here is the criteria you would need to fulfill for a fiance visa, as I say the criteria is largely the same for a spouses visa. If you meet this you will almost certainly not be refused a spouses visa:-
He will also have to pass and english language test showing he has a basic command of spoken and listening English.
As I say though, until you are both 21 years of age you will have to put up with visitor's visas or with him obtaining a work visa under the points based system or a student visa. Info on these here:-
If this has been useful please kindly click accept so that I may be rewarded for my time. It will be gratefully received and you will be free to ask follow up questions.Kind regards,Tom
In that case you are of age to be eligible to apply.
The UKBA will not entertain an application for a spouses visa or fiance visa whilst he is on a visitor's visa because he was granted that specifically on the basis that he was only here for a fixed period of time. They are very strict with this.
When he returns to Pakistan you can then apply for either a fiance visa or spouses visa by submitting Form VAF4 to the British Embassy there. The form is available for download from the UKBA website and ti would be best for a solicitor to prepare it first to give you the best possible chance of success without appeal.
Thanks for your kind accept.Tom
ok. but what about my parents?
i dont want them to find out
is that possible
It's possible, providing that you do not need to name them as being persons on whom you would rely in order to prove the eligibility criteria (eg. if you were going to say that you do not require public funds for your accommodation because you were going to live at a property of theirs - if you did this the uKBA would ask them to provide a statement.
Hi i have another question to ask.
what if we get married in a mosque do a muslim wedding which is called nikkah and then when he goes bk he applies for a spouse visa?!

hat is there to say about the Manics? Well, almost too much really. Possibly one of the strangest phenomenons in rock history, Manic Street Preachers have always been a band in their own. After nearly inventing the tag "fake it till you make it" and then making it big, both in the UK charts and with a notoriously deranged cult following (which seems to have died down with them growing old, boring and wearing slacks instead of war gear), the now threesome have done the unthinkable, and released a greatest hits.
Ever since they began their reign of terror on the UK music industry in 1991, the Manics have had one hell of a ride. Back then, you'd never think of hearing the words "greatest" and "hits" come after their name, not just because the idea of them seemed so far fetched hits were needed to keep them alive, but also because they just didn't seem to subscribe to anything that conventional or predictable. When they made Generation Terrorists you hardly thought they'd resort to this.
Forever Delayed contains about 16 of the Manics best songs. That doesn't mean their best 16 are present. There's a whole slew that were neglected that could easily replace the four less-than-stellar ones here and even some of the others. They seem to have ignored their best album, The Holy Bible, including only one of the album's singles ("Faster"), and given an exorbitant amount of attention to their two most successful (and mature, or shall we say, dull) albums, Everything Must Go and This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours. Songs like "The Everlasting" and "Tsunami" are an insult on here to classics like "Slash And Burn", "She Is Suffering", "Roses In The Hospital", and possibly their greatest song ever, "4st 7lb". The fact that such songs are missing really makes you wonder how important Richey James was to them (they do include a portrait of him on the cover, so he did exist).
Of course, like most of these comps, in order to get sales, new tracks are necessary. They don't have to be good, which they aren't really. "There By The Grace Of God" is catchy, but sounds too progressive, and "Door To The River" is just rubbish.
But the Manics have always been about life-altering anthems, and there's plenty here. It's their talent for penning such triumphant tunes that makes them such an important, popular and good band. "Motorcycle Emptiness", "A Design For Life", "Suicide Is Painless (Theme From M.A.S.H.) and the lost classic, "Motown Junk", all shine on this disc. And why there might be moments that lack the lustre of others, this is a good investment for the old hi-fi (especially if you see Gold Against The Soul as a difficult listen).

TAMPA – Mitt Romney will become the GOP's official presidential nominee at the onset of the Republican National Convention on Monday, a break from tradition to keep the party faithful "on message," according to Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus.
The decision about the early "roll call of states" wasn't prompted by worries about Tropical Storm Isaac or to avert a disruption from Ron Paul backers, Priebus told reporters today. Rather, it's about controlling the message.
"I just think it's better for us to get all our business done in one shot … do everything on Monday, the nomination, all our rules and resolutions, get that done, so we can get on to telling the Mitt Romney story, how we're going to help save our country," he said.
The purpose of the early roll call was not to allow the convention to wind up before the scheduled end on Thursday if Isaac threatens the Tampa Bay region or to thwart Paul supporters from hijacking the nomination from the floor, he said.
"Oh no… It's to get all the business of the party out of the way and get on with the two things, prosecuting Barack Obama, the promises he made and what he delivered, and telling the Mitt Romney story."
Priebus also said he's not worried about Tropical Storm Isaac.
"I'm feeling a lot better today than I was yesterday," he said. "Right now we don't have to change anything. Obviously we worry if this thing turns into a hurricane and the safety of people if it hits shore, but as far as the convention is concerned we're full steam ahead and we're going to have a great week."

Healthcare officials say exercise is important for everyone, but especially people who are recovering from a major surgery or illness.
Tara Holowka is a physical therapist at Meridian's Specialty Hospital. She says everyone needs exercise -- just to different degrees.
"For some it may be walking more. For some it may be doing household chores. For others it may be joining a gym," said Holowka.
Fifty-four-year-old Neal Barney from Union is one of Holowka's patients. He says since having major surgery a month ago, he can tell how exercise is making a difference.
"No, it's not bad. It makes you feel good. It makes you sleep real good," said Barney.
'Good,' is how therapists say exercise should make you feel. They say the problems start when it does the opposite.
"When you start feeling more fatigued," said Holowka, "experiencing more nausea or unusual tingling, then you should contact your physician. However, if you just feel normal tiredness while doing the exercise, then you just have to learn to endure it."
Here's a note for family members: Holowka says sometimes doing everything for a recovering patient can do more harm than good.
Therefore, if cleared by a doctor, she says you should let the person do some of the simple, everyday tasks. In the long run she says this can help.

Soliciting entries for the Forrester Groundswell Awards 2.0
by Josh Bernoff
One year ago, we began asking for entries for the Forrester Groundswell
Awards, which recognize excellence in accomplishing business goals with social
applications. We received 78 fascinating submissions and recognized the winners at
the Forrester Consumer Forum in
This worked so well that we're doing it again. The number of people creating corporate social applications has increased, so we expect more entries. And we'll be including the community in the process, in ways we'll describe soon.
As before, the 2008 Forrester Groundswell Awards will go to people and
companies who have created the most innovative and effective uses of
Groundswell technologies like blogs, wikis, social networks, and communities.
Nominations are due by September 9, 2008. Winners will get a free ticket to Forrester's
Consumer Forum in
Here are this year's rules:
1. Entries should represent excellent and effective use of social technologies to advance an organizational or corporate goal.
2. You can submit your entries using an online form we'll publicize right here in August. Entries will include a short description, a graphic representing the entry, and a link. The link should take us to a place on the Web where we can see your entry, including your description of what makes it an effective use of social applications.
3. The content of all entries will be considered on the record and can be quoted in Forrester research and any other Forrester materials. All entry submissions will be posted on the Forrester Groundswell Awards site, as soon as possible after submission. This public posting is new. We are hoping to provide a method so that visitors can rate and review the entries. (We'll still be picking the winners, though, based on business effectiveness rather than popularity.)
4. We'll disqualify entries that we think are inappropriate, including those with obscenity or copyright violations.
5. Agencies and vendors can submit applications created by their clients, but are responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions to submit those entries.
6. We'll judge the winners based on proof of accomplishing business or organizational goals, not based on what looks the best or uses the best technology. Innovation and audacity are good, too.
7. There are seven categories: LISTENING, TALKING, ENERGIZING, SUPPORTING, EMBRACING, MANAGING, and SOCIAL IMPACT. Read Groundswell to see what these mean. (A smart entrant would read Groundswell anyway to see how we think!) MANAGING is for internal employee social applications. SOCIAL IMPACT is for pro-social non-commercial applications. You can submit an application in one category only so choose wisely.
8. We will award at most one winner in each category, plus finalists if we feel like it. If there are no worthy entries in a category, we won't give an award in that category.
9. Winners will be featured on this blog and will receive their awards at
the Forrester Consumer Forum in
10. There is no rule 10.
Watch this space for more details. We look forward to seeing your entries.
If you have questions these rules don't answer, contact Tracy Sullivan (tsullivan [at] forrester dotcom).

At Vidyard, we are always striving to provide the most accurate and comprehensive analytics for our customer's great videos. Over the last 6 months, Vidyard has grown a lot, and so has the amount of information that we gather and process. Lately, this has led us to reconsider some fundamental questions about how we should report clear information to our users.
Some of these fundamental questions are:
What really constitutes the viewing of a video?
Different video providers calculate a view in different ways. We have researched a variety of approaches and believe that the following viewer interactions constitute one or more views:
A viewer comes to your site and:
The following interactions do not count as additional views:
How does Vidyard reliably capture analytics for people that quickly leave your website?
Moving forward from today, Vidyard will be capturing analytics more reliably than ever before. We've refined our method of data capture to ensure we're optimized for browser compatibility and data accuracy. Customers may see a change in their analytics, this is simply to ensure that we're following the conventions discussed above, giving accurate data according to our user's expectations.
What other new, exciting data can we surface in our analytics?
Vidyard collects much more information from video interactions than we currently surface in our dashboard analytics. We want to provide you with as many awesome, actionable analytics as possible, so we are very excited about the new Vidyard Analytics Center currently under development.
Stay tuned, in the next couple of months we are going to release many more graphs, metrics and insightful data points; enabling you to even more successfully track, measure and customize your online video strategy.

How did people find it? I thought it was easy, but no doubt the grade boundaries will be high like all the decision exams usually are.
What did people make the value of P for the game theory question? I think i made it like 7/13 (with 1-P being 6/13 obviously) which is probably wrong, otherwise not much else of the paper caused many problems.

I found it really easy. Should hopefully get an A from it
I got 3/4 for the value of p and 1/4 for the value of the game.
For the max flow I got 105.
For the simplex question I got 42
For an Eulerian graph with 6 verticies and 12 edges, I dre a hexagon with all edges repeated to make 12 edges
What did people get for those?
I got P as 6/8, and the value of the game as 1/4.
I found most of the exam relatively easy. Did you get the maximum flow as 105?
Did anyone get 74 for the minimum time for the hungarian algorithm allocation question?
Yeah I got 74 too

It takes a very special type of imbecile to provoke such seemingly contradictory feelings of utter boredom and total annoyance, but David Cameron has managed to take up the mantle with this latest batch of pontifications.
I didn't think it was possible to spout so many cliches in quite such a confused way, but Call Me Dave has pulled it off with aplomb:
Describing himself as a "committed" but only "vaguely practising" Christian, the PM admitted he was "full of doubts" about big theological issues.
But he staunchly defended the role of religion in politics and said the Bible in particular was crucial to British values.
So…although he describes himself as a believer, but not a practising one, he has lots of doubts about major issues…
Well, that sounds as if he's really got the Christian faith all sorted out for himself, doesn't it?
Perhaps that's why he now feels qualified to state that:
We are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so
and that a revival of traditional Christian values is needed to counter Britain's
"moral collapse"
So, this 'weekend' Christian sees religious faith – not that he has much if he's assailed by so many major doubts – as the country's salvation.
I wonder what the empirical basis of this belief is?
It's no good, of course, waiting to see what the prominent writer – and atheist – Christopher Hitchens would have made of this, because he died yesterday at the absurdly early age of 62.
However, using a few choice Hitchens quotes, it's not difficult to imagine…
"Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it."
"The governor of Texas, who, when asked if the Bible should also be taught in Spanish, replied that 'if English was good enough for Jesus, then it's good enough for me."
"To 'choose' dogma and faith over doubt and experience is to throw out the ripening vintage and to reach greedily for the Kool-Aid."
"Organised religion is violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children."
"Jesus is Santa Claus for Adults"
I think it's fairly safe to say that Cameron's latest verbal arsegravy would have been roundly kicked into touch by Hitchens.
Christopher Hitchens will be sadly missed.

A fascinating character and an incredible actor playing him. No need to be a scientist to appreciate this wonderful play.

This was a great play that I would've missed had it not been for GoldStar (it was in a brand-new theater in Cambridge, so it was not on my radar).
Seats were great, price was right, play was terrific.

the actor playing Feynman is very gifted--a raconteur, holds your interest completely the entire show. The talk afterwards was an unexpected pleasure--Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, from MIT, spoke briefly and led an interesting discussion
star this review starred report as inappropriate
Accessible to the nontechnical, very well performed, relevant to Feynman's work, especially the post play comments by Jerry Friedberg.
An excellent performance about a fascinating man.

Post-Sandy opportunities abound, struggles continue
(Page 3 of 3)
Grass-roots organizing is playing a role, as there have been over a dozen rallies advocating policy change and awareness of community needs across Long Island by Friends of Long Island members. These rallies provided media coverage for continuing needs in the community, were well received and were attended by local elected officials.
Despite the hope that public infrastructure dollars bring, there are huge obstacles ahead for rebuilding the South Shore. There are things folks can do: 1) support local groups like Friends of Freeport, that are mobilizing support on the ground; 2) keep the spotlight and pressure on government officials to keep federal resources moving; 3) attend public meetings, rallies and organize with local groups, share resources, and don't stop participating.
As Long Islanders, many of whom are charitable people when it comes to causes that don't involve Long Island, we can't forget to support relief and rebuilding for what has happened in our own communities.
Eric Alexander is the executive director of Vision Long Island.

Perfect day, perfect weather, perfect service, perfect company. After 4 hours, the 40 of us were no longer strangers. The wind was not blowing in the right direction to hoist the sails, and since it was 70°, there was little sign of fall foliage...but all the same, 4 extremely pleasant hours. Worth losing sleep for on a Saturday morning.

It was a nice sail, but the foilage was still green. The staff on the boat was great, very attentive.

Feel free to bring your own picnic on board.

A 6x9 (15x23 cm) black and white notebook with photographs by Zoltan Vancso, designed to fit in a purse, briefcase, or messenger bag. Lined pages for jotting down notes, to dos, names, numbers, or inspiration. (80 pages)
Regarding his professional career, two personalities of a photographer have come to life in him. One tries to reflect reality as clearly and comprehensibly as possible. The other one, in contrast, acts in the opposite way; it takes pleasure in discovering the improbability of reality, and funny enough, it conveys this experience with an objective tool – with photography. His works of art are related to the classic trends of photography. His photos encourage reflection, and they raise innocent and meaningless situations of reality to the heights of extraordinary and mystic dimensions. He has held nearly 40 exhibitions in Budapest, he regularly publishes albums, and his professional and lay audience is constantly expanding. His photo movie Oceans of Sigh – Cuba was shown in Budapest cinemas with great success as a short movie to accompany Wim Wenders' film. He has received several professional rewards. In 2004, he had an exhibition with William Klein in Budapest.

demon days is a better ALBUM, but plastic beach has some songs that i could consider their best... like sweepstakes, rhinstone eyes, melancholy hill, and superfast jellyfish. its just that there seemed like a lot of unnecessary filler (like white flag and though i like it, glitter freeze). also, the ending... was atrocious. deom days ended its album perfectly with its self-titled song. there was just an unmatched perfection in demon days...
your welcome
white flag was more annoying to me than enjoyable :/
i just didn't get into it as much as the rest. it just didn't feel like it belonged there

text: Miranda Lambert's latest song, "Mama's Broken Heart" was a song that she was never actually supposed to record, but she shares that through a family connection and a little vocal bargaining with the song's writer, Kacey Musgraves, she was able to put it on her Four the Record album. Miranda and Kacey grew up together back in Texas and they actually used to write songs together but then went their separate ways in life. Kacey's sister was the photographer at Miranda and Blake's wedding, so Kacey attended the wedding and Miranda says, "At our rehearsal dinner, I went over and asked her, I was like, 'Are you gonna cut this song, or can I have it?' And she was like, 'I'll think about it for a couple of days.' And she e-mailed me, and said, 'You can have it, if I can sing harmony.' So that's her singin' the harmonies on it… but I had to actually beg for this song, and so I'm thankful that she gave it to me 'cause I love 'Mama's Broken Heart.' It's an awesome song, and it's been goin' really well live, and I plan on makin' an awesome video for it, as well, so we're really excited."
