ResearchDr. Edythe London's research uses a translational approach to develop a better understanding of addictive disorders and further the rational design of therapeutics. Her laboratory was the first to show a relationship between drug craving and activity in brain regions that underlie episodic memory and link memory with emotion. Her research also has contributed to the development of new approaches and probes for noninvasive brain imaging. Dr. London's laboratory now focuses on stimulant and nicotine addiction.

Very nice city owned campground with on-site friendly host. We had the 50 amp breaker fail and the city electrician promptly arrived and replaced it. Only downside was the lack of mowing. Weeds were a foot tall. The city sent a crew out and took care of it. There are many RVs with construction workers at this park. - JRCII

What a find! Large, level, gravel, angled sites. Amazingly full 70 channel real cable, not dish. Verizon 4G MiFI area. Would stay here again. - fulltimervtravel

We selected this campground to stay at while touring northwestern Arkansas. The sites were spacious and well maintained. It was close to all the sites we wanted to see in Eureka Springs and in the Berryville area. If you are looking for a small, quiet park then I would highly recommend this park for you to consider. - Emaline

Real Housewives of New Jersey
New Jersey Housewives Bracing For "Major Explosion" at End of Season 5
Last we checked, all was well in New Jersey — relatively speaking, of course — but now that filming for Season 5 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is about halfway over, it sounds like the ladies are anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop.
According to Radar Online, a show insider notes that the Housewives (all of whom are veterans by now) are "afraid of what is coming up next." And while many have speculated that Danielle Staub's return to the show may be filmed in the near future, apparently the gals' fears are greater than ex-stripper former cast members.
Ironically, the fact that everyone has been getting along post-therapy session in Lake George may be exactly why the show's producers are eager to amp up the drama. The source maintains that the Housewives are totally aware of this, and are understandably fearful of what's to come — whatever that may be.
"They know that the season will end will massive fireworks, and they're all prepping themselves to be blindsided by the drama that can be introduced," the source dishes. "The show thrives on drama, so everyone getting along isn't going to be a good ending. Teresa, Melissa and Jacqueline fighting is ratings gold, and they know that so they're waiting for the drama to start."
Call us crazy, but we were starting to like the idea of a relatively peaceful Season 5! But do you think loads of drama really is the way to go? Sound off below!

Castro takes early lead at tough Congressional course
Roberto Castro didn't qualify for the U.S. Open this year. He felt as if he played in one during the first round at Congressional in the AT&T National. Castro ran off three straight birdies late in his round for a 5-under 66, giving him the lead on a tough day that didn't yield too many low scores considering the cloud cover and relatively soft conditions.
Billy Horschel, who tied for fourth in the U.S. Open two weeks ago at Merion, began his day with a 50-foot birdie putt and then hung on for a 68. Bud Cauley had a 68 in the afternoon.

Those looking for a sporty four-seat grand tourer made in Italy but don't want to or can't stretch their budget to a Ferrari FF would certainly consider the Maserati GranTurismo.
Sure, the two models are not in the same league, but on the other hand, the Maser costs a fraction of the Ferrari's price and boasts equally fabulous looks as well as a Maranello-sourced V8 under its sculpted hood.
At the 82nd Geneva Motor Show, Maserati unveiled the latest version of the GranTurismo as well as its open top sibling, the GranCabrio with the Sport moniker. The Sport models replace the S variants and the changes are more than skin deep.
For starters, the 4.7-liter V8 engine now produces 453HP and 520Nm (383.5 lb-ft) of torque, up from the 440HP and 490Nm (361.4 lb-ft) of the GranTurismo S.
Power is still channeled to the rear wheels and buyers can choose between a "robotised manual", i.e. semi-automatic, or a conventional manual gearbox.

At the upcoming Frankfurt auto show, Maserati will display a new special edition version of its sleek GranCabrio designed by Italian fashion house Fendi, which is best known for its expensive "baguette" handbags.
The Fendi treatment starts with a unique three-layered body color named Grigio Fiamma Fendi and which is described by the automaker as a special dark grey with an iridescent golden finish on the surface. The yellow brake callipers and the Fendi logo on the 20-inch Trident design alloy wheels complete the exterior touches.

Revealed to the public at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the Maserati GranCabrio Sport is the flagship version of the Italian firm's four-seat convertible model. Following the international press drive in Trieste, Italy last week, Maserati has now announced the launch of its new soft-top sports car.
In the UK, the harder-edged GranCabrio is priced at £102,615 on the road, with the first right-hand examples to reach the market in early October.
The GranCabrio Sport combines an upgraded 4.7-litre V8 engine with a 10 horsepower increase to 450-horses with the faster MC Auto Shift 6-speed transmission for 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 5.2 seconds and a 285km/h (177mph) top speed.

Enough is never enough for vehicle tuning houses like Novitec Tridente, which has presented its latest line of enhancements for the Maserati GranCabrio. Bone stock, the drop-top variant of the GT gets a 4.7-liter V8 engine that cranks out 440HP at 7,000 rpm and 490Nm (362 lb-ft) of torque at 4,750 rpm.
The installation of a supercharger system along with a watercooled intercooler and a modified ECU, help boost output to an impressive 590HP at 7,300 rpm and 572Nm (421.9 lb-ft), consequentially allowing for a new 0-100km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.5 seconds.

It's been a year-and-a-half since Maserati lifted the wraps off a drop-top version of its GranTurismo coupe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in late 2009, and now the Italians are getting ready to expand the range of the GranCabrio with the presentation of a sportier variant at the upcoming Geneva Auto Show.

Well, here's a bit of an interesting twist. Following the signing on of Henry Cavill in the role of Clark Kent in Zack Snyder's "Superman," speculation quickly turned to who will play Lois Lane. But word emerges tonight that the hunt is on for a female lead for a character that is not Lois Lane.
Variety reports that Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike have emerged as contenders for the role that is not yet being disclosed. If we were to wager a guess -- considering that all three thesps are blondes -- we'd say the part will be that of Cat Grant. A gossip columnist at The Daily Planet, she was a love interest for Clark Kent with a triangle of sorts emerging between Clark, Lois and Cat. But again, this is just a guess -- it could be another character altogether.
As for Lois Lane, the trade reports that Warner Bros. doesn't want a big name that will overshadow Cavill so no surprise then that the early rumors of Kristen Stewart turned out to be false. In fact, most of the names bandied about early on -- Rachel McAdams, Jessica Biel, Olivia Wilde, Mila Kunis -- don't seem likely at this point. Perhaps someone smaller like a Lake Bell? That would be fine with us.
Eve and Pike are no strangers to the tentpole test process as both were named during casting sessions for "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "X-Men: First Class," respectively. Kruger is a bit of a new face to franchise fare, but obviously an accomplished thesp and best known for her role in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds." WB and Snyder are also on the hunt for an unnamed villain, though no names have cropped up (yet).
Production will start this summer, with a December 2012 release planned.

How to Use a Tide to Go Pen
How many times has this happened to you? You're eating out at a restaurant when suddenly a drop of ketchup lands on your new shirt! You rub and rub but it just smears and spreads the stain. With a Tide to Go pen, you can make that stain less noticeable long enough to properly wash it! Developed by Tide, the Tide to Go pen is an instant stain remover, and because it's the size of a marker, it's perfect for on the go!
1Purchase a Tide to Go pen. They are available at many stores in single, 3, and 5 packs, with a typical price of $2.99, $6.99, and $8.99 respectively.
2Remove any excess residue from the stain. It should just be the stain and not any solids.
3If you are using it for the very first time, remove the cap and press down on the tip of the pen several times until liquid comes out the end.
4To remove the stain, press the tip down on the stain several times to release the solution. You should also place a paper towel underneath the garment to catch any liquid that soaked through.
5Gently rub the tip across the stain to remove it. Add any additional liquid when necessary. Also consider blotting the stain with a paper towel.
6Let it dry. There will be a fairly noticeable wet spot due to the solution but once that dries, the stain will be gone!
Community Q&A
Is it color safe? Does it contain chloride?
- The product works better when the stain is fresh and not dried.
- Food and drink stains are the easiest to remove, such as tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, coffee, tea, and wine. However, grease, ink, blood, or grass are not recommended.
- If the stain does not come out, you should instead pre-treat the stain before washing the entire garment.
- Due to its small packaging, it's convenient for stains that occur on the go.
- The Tide to Go pen is only used as a temporary solution for stain removal and users should not be dependent on it for their laundry.
- In some cases, the liquid may leave an unpleasant odor.
- While the pen is not effective at removing blood stains, it's against the law in many jurisdictions around the world to attempt to remove blood from evidence used in criminal activities. If the garment has been involved in any sort of criminal activity, forget about removing the stain and contact the police.

The Organization of American States (OAS) on November 14, 1997, adopted the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials (CIFTA by its Spanish acronym). This is the first multilateral treaty designed to prevent, combat, and eradicate illegal transnational trafficking in firearms, ammunition, and explosives. As of April 29, 2009,30 OAS member states are party to the Convention and 4 other OAS member states (including the United States) have signed. The treaty entered into force in July, 1998. On June 9, 1998, the Convention was submitted to the U.S. Senate for its advice and consent to ratification.
The Convention will make the citizens of the hemisphere safer by helping shut down the illicit transnational arms market that fuels the violence associated with drug trafficking, terrorism, and international organized crime. The Convention is an outstanding example of the contribution that the OAS is making to the security of the hemisphere. While strengthening states' ability to eradicate illicit arms trafficking, this regional agreement is modeled on U.S. laws, regulations, and practices and protects the legal trade in firearms as well as their lawful ownership and use.

CSR: How Investors and Companies Talk Different Languages
Responsible investors and companies with proud CSR track records are failing to understand each other's needs. A new book to be published next month claims both sides are missing out as a result.
Valuing Corporate Responsibility: How Do Investors Really Use Corporate Responsibility Information? by Rory Sullivan argues that CSR reports are made null and void by this communication gap.
Dr Sullivan, himself an expert on ethical investment, claims that investors see CSR reports as irrelevant to their decision-making. This is despite companies believing that investors are one of the most critical audiences for these reports.
He argues that investors are not blameless in this, as they are not good at explaining the sort of information they want, or where corporate responsibility performance fits in to their analysis of companies.
As a result, both sides have become frustrated. Companies are angry that investors are ignoring their CSR performance. Investors accuse companies of producing irrelevant information that does not address the business challenges the companies face.
The end result is dissatisfaction for both sides, despite the fact that there is a growing interest in both companies and investment institutions in CSR activities and performance.
Dr Sullivan points out that more than 500 large investment institutions (including asset managers, insurance companies and pension funds) have signed the Principles for Responsible Investment, which are backed by the United Nations. He argues that this has helped to make responsible investment mainstream. Consequently, investors are a key audience for the CSR reports that they are predominantly ignoring.
So what can be done to bridge this gap? It is not as if there isn't a desire on both sides to make it work.
As is often the case, each side needs to step into the others' shoes.
Companies need to understand what responsible investment actually looks like, the corporate responsibility information investors need, and how the information is used in practice.
Investors need to acknowledge the difficulties companies face when drawing together their corporate responsibility reports, and how this impacts on the quality and usefulness of the data.
The issue of the investment timeframe is also important – when investors actually need the information.
Most importantly, is investment actually driving an improvement in corporate responsibility? At the moment, it seems that it is not. Given the power that the investment community has, this is ultimately a missed opportunity. Dr Sullivan argues that there is a need for a complete rethink of the current approaches to responsible investment. Investors should be able to help boost sustainability.
The book will attempt to analyse what both sides need from CSR reporting, and bridge the knowledge gap between them. In order to do so, it will use a number of case studies as well as making recommendations for both companies and investors.

Q: Did you start early, since when you were motivated to be an IAS officer?
A: I started preparing for this exam very late. In 2005, I happened to read a career magazine which had all the details about civil services examination. After going through it, I decided to go for this exam.
Q: What were you doing from 2001 to 2005, i.e. after your graduation?
A: There were family responsibilities to look after, and I had a job in private sector.
Q: Is there any significant event that motivated you to join civil services?
A: No, not any significant event, but yes I was searching for a new direction in life & I found this exam in front of me.
Q: Please tell us about your family background?
A: My Father is a retired government employee and my Mother is our home maker. I have two brothers also, who are settled in Bengaluru.
Q: How were you as a student in school and college?
A: I was brilliant student, I got first class through out.
Q: Did you also take part in some sports or extra-curricular activities?
A: No, but I like watching cricket.
Q: Tell us about your hobbies and how were you able to integrate them to your preparation.
A: My hobbies are diary writing, singing, and folk dance (Garba). I used internet and some Gujarati books to prepare for them.
Q: How did you choose you Optionals?
A: The main criterion was interest. I found both subjects friendly and easy, so I opted for them.
Q: What was your strategy for Prelims?
A: First of all, I went through the NCERT books of all GS subjects. Then I also read newspapers viz. the Hindu, the Indian Express, and magazines like Frontline, Chronicle etc. For pub ad, I used reference books more.
Q: What was your strategy for Mains?
A: I always used to do analysis of previous years' paper and accordingly make my own questions for optionals. But before doing that I went through the whole syllabus once. Thereafter I concentrated on analysis and preparing notes of important topics. Discussion with friends also helped a lot.
Q: What changes you made in your strategy to turn failure (in CSE) to success?
I changed my style of answering in Gujarati Literature. . In both papers, I wrote many lines of poetry and prose (from the syllabus) where ever it is necessary. In other subjects, I did not change my strategy much.
Q: Did you take the exam in Gujarati medium? If yes, tell us about the difficulties you faced during your preparation.
A: Yes, I have given the exam in Gujarati. I didn't face much difficulty but yes there are some basic problems one faces, for example we don't get any books for Civils Preparation here, so we have to purchase it from Delhi. A number of my friends went toDelhi just for purchasing books. Also we had the problem of English to Gujarati translation of reference books, so naturally we had to do more hard work and make notes in Gujarati.
Q: What is your view on Coaching Institutes? Did you join any or referred to their notes? Please tell us about the role of coaching institutes in your success. Why should one join them and how did you make your decision?
A: I don't know much about coaching institutes because I haven't joined any. Yes in 2007 mains, I have joined ALS 20 days Mains crash course and it was a disastrous experience for me, simply a waste of time and waste of money, for me. Personally, I don't believe that these institutions can make any difference. It all depends on our hard work only.
Q: How did you prepare for Interview? Tell us about the role of Coaching, Mock Interviews, Internet, Orkut, etc. in it.
A: I did not go for interview coaching this time, as the experience from the last year was the same as of the mains, no benefit. I think it is better for us to sit down at home and think rather than go for these classes. I went through 4 mock interviews at my institution, SPIPA in Ahmedabad. I also used Wikipedia, Google, etc. a lot.
Q: Please give us a brief overview of your interview.
A: It was a 30 minute interview. The questions asked were on nuclear deal, why bomb blast in ahmedabad, what you will do as a DM in such cases, how to prevent it in future, women empowerment, diary writing (hobby), cooperative movement in Gujarat, corruption in NGOs, etc. I think it was an average interview.
Q: Any interesting question or happening from your interview.
No, nothing special, it was an average interview and that's why I got average marks.
Q: You got good marks in Mains but got average marks in Interview, can you see any other reason for it? Can you please elaborate on what went wrong? How many marks were you expecting in mains and in interview?
A: I was not satisfied with my interview; I felt it then, as I walked out of the room. I think that due to tension I could not give my 100% in it. I expected 1250 in Mains. My essay marks are very less and in GS and Pub ad. also I got less marks then my expectation. In interview I thought of average marks only.
Q: Tell us about SPIPA, what is it, what goes on there, how are you a part of it?
A: SPIPA is a government institution for training of state employees of all services. Alongside this, they are also running an IAS study centre in its premise where they give coaching for GS and some optionals such as History, Geography, etc. but mainly it is advantageous for Gujarati Lit., they teach it very well. (N.B. SPIPA stands for Sardar Patel Institute of Public Administration.)
Q: What was your backup plan in case you failed?
A: I have thought of joining an NGO to create awareness about this exam in our people.
Q: Did you appear for any State PSCs as well? If, yes, of which states? Please tell us about your experience with the State PSCs. Is this option a good backup in case you fail in CSE?
A: Yes, I have appeared in Gujarat Public Service Commission's Group 1& 2 Exam and passed the Pre and Mains. The Interviews are to be held in July this year. Civil service preparation help me lot in this. Yes, it is a good option.
Q: What is your opinion about necessity of going to Delhi for CSE preparation?
A: As I have told you, I'm not in favour of these crash course classes and mock interviews at Delhi. As I have not done any long duration classes at Delhi, so I can't comment on them.
Q: Tell us about the books you referred for 1) GS, 2) Public Administration and 3) Gujarati Lit.
A: GS: spectrum series for all subjects,
Besides that,
History-Bipin Chandra,
Polity - D.D.Basu,
Economics-Pratiyogita Darpan,
Pub. Ad.: Ramesh Arora and Goyal, Sharma and Sadana, Stephen Robbins, Nicholas Henry, D.D. Basu, Mohit Bhattacharya, Devlopment Administration by Ramesh Arora, Comparative Administration by Ramesh Arora, IIPA journals, Internet.
Q: Tell us about the magazines and newspapers your read and how much time did you devote for it daily.
A: I read Hindu, Indian Express, Frontline, Chronicle, Yojna, Kurukshetra, Economic and Political Weekly, Seminar, IIPA journals for pub ad. I gave 2 hours every day to it.
Q: How did you manage time during preparation? Can you give a glimpse of your daily and monthly schedule? For how many hours did you study?
A: I have a habit to read both optional and GS everyday. i manage 5 hours to subject and remaining to GS. I used to read for about 10 hours everyday and during exam time, it came about 12 to14 hours. I prepared my timetable daily.
Q: Now some opinion-based questions,
a. Criticism of UPSC for unnecessary secrecy about cut-off marks, scaling and model answer sheets, your view?
A: Yes, UPSC should definitely declare these.
b. Is the reservation system up to the mark, is it serving its purpose?
A: It is not serving its purpose. Well settled and rich people get its benefit while really deserving candidates could not avail its advantage due to their poor circumstances.
c. What reforms do you want in CSE or What reforms would have helped you much during your preparation?
A: There must be a change in the interview process. One cannot give full justification to candidate in half an hour. Nowadays, it is totally a subjective matter and whole discretion of board chairman.
d. A debate arose after this years result, first-timers vs. veterans, questions are being raised about evaluation procedure of UPSC, what's your say? Is CSE a subjective and unpredictable exam?
A: It is true that this exam is subjective and unpredictable. There is a need for reform but it needs life cycle reform, from pre to interview.So many committees have made a number of good suggestions, they should be implemented.
e. (On Interview) some say be neutral at all cost, don't criticize the govt., some say be tactful, criticize intelligently, what's your say?
A: I agree with don't criticize the government, but yes answers should be given with intelligent mind and positive attitude.
f. Please tell us about the differences you observed between Ahmedabad-based coaching and Delhi-based coaching.
A: Much difference, here it is still in initial stage, not as intense coaching as Delhi. Here, we don't get faculty like that of Delhi. Those who teach us are mostly college professors, who are unknown/unaware to this exam and its needs. So, there is no analysis, no notes, no strategy but still SPIPA doing its best for us. At the time of mains they call faculties from Delhi for 4-5 days. For Gujarati Literature it is the best coaching institute. SPIPA trying to be good alternative for Gujarat's aspirants and I anticipate a very good future for SPIPA.
Q: Sum up your tryst with UPSC in a couple of lines.
A: There is very thin line between success and failure in this field and UPSC makes us realize that this journey is really a "tryst with destiny".
Q: Give a small motivational message to the community especially the newcomers?
Q: What is your opinion about this interview? Is something lacking or are there some areas where we can improve to make these interviews more informative and useful? Would you like say something else which we might have missed?
A: You have covered every aspect. Your gesture will be very helpful for our fellow friends. I hope that your sincere efforts will yield good results.
(Thank you Kavita for sharing your experience with us. We wish you all the very best for your future.)

FXStreet (Bali) - The FX market saw little moves in the opening session on Monday, in which a slightly better sentiment was observed following last week's risk aversion swings, as geopolitical tensions mounted.
USD/JPY kept the exchange rate above the 102.00 area, although gains compared to the last NY close were limited to 5-10 pips, with price topping at 102.17. The Nikkei 225 was up over 2% after the 'sushi' break, supporting the bid tone in all Yen crosses across the board.
AUD/USD saw last week's bounce off 0.9240 retest 0.9485 highs, but no conviction was seen behind the move. NZD/USD was unmoved around the 0.9465 level. EUR/USD and GBP/USD traded in tight ranges as well.
In the fundamental front, we had Chinese data over the weekend, with July's CPI figures (YoY) coming at +2.3%, in line with expectations, while the PPI for July (YoY) was -0.9%, also in line with estimates.
On the geopolitical front, Obama said U.S. airstrikes had destroyed arms, but warned that there are no quick fixes to a crisis. In New Zealand, total card spending for July: came at -0.1% m/m vs +0.5% last.
In Japan, according to the Nikkei, Japan's Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) has temporarily scrapped its cap on domestic stock-holdings, meaning that the fund can now buy more domestic shares. In terms of data, Japan published July's money stock – M2 and M3, which came as expected, with June's tertiary industry index at -0.1% m/m vs -0.3%.

Virginia senate race may come down to recount
Web Extra | James Webb overtakes GOP Sen. George Allen by a thin margin
GOP Sen. George Allen has surrendered a whisper-thin lead to challenger James Webb. With more than 99 percent of precincts reporting, the Democrat now leads by just under 3,000 votes. The race is one of three must-holds for the GOP -- including Missouri and Montana -- in order for the party to retain its senate majority. But Democrats may well run the table.
The Allen-Webb race is still a photo-finish with some absentee ballots and scattered precincts still outstanding. If Allen wins outright or by recount, it won't be because he endeared himself to conservative values-voters.
"As a citizen, I didn't notice it if he did," said Marjorie Dannenfelser of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List. "As a political strategist, it didn't percolate up to me either."
Instead, the campaign devolved into a melee of mud. From Democratic crowing over Allen's misguided "macaca" remark to Republican revelations that Webb's military suspense novels featured underage and pedophilic sex, Virginia voters endured a down-and-dirty campaign in the closing weeks.
"The campaign was not ideological enough," Dannenfelser said. "It became very personal. It takes a tough stand to change the conversational direction of a campaign and I think Allen tried. But it's an overall national problem: Values issues this year, such as marriage, partial-birth abortion, and late-term abortion, were not brought out as issues that could define a candidate."
Instead, citizens largely led the charge on such issues with 200 ballot initiatives, including referenda on parental notice, traditional marriage, and judicial term limits. Virginia's traditional marriage amendment passed easily, ensuring that same-sex couples cannot marry there and also blocking state lawmakers from creating a status that mimics marriage for homosexual couples.
With voters easily approving the measure, Dannenfelser thought Allen might lead. But the peculiarities of the state's population create, essentially, two states in one. Residents of northern Virginia are largely employed in or around government and are disproportionately Democratic, Dannenfelser said, while the rest of the state is heavily conservative. Election returns reflected the divide with Allen showing well in rural, southern areas and holding his own in the suburbs, while Webb is dominating urban areas and bedroom communities closest to Washington D.C.

How to Run For Student Council Successfully
Student Council is a committee of students in a school that have the opportunity to make sound decisions on behalf of the other students in the school. Student Council members plan special events as well. If you are interested in being a part of a Student Council, read on.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Show yourself. Start trying to get better grades and listen more. If your schoolwork meets the requirements you will get a better chance of winning.
2Introduce yourself to people. If you don't know someone, go sit and have lunch with them. Say hello to people passing in the halls. The more people you know, the more people will vote for you.
3Put up posters. Use funny slogans, or catchy slogans, so that people will remember you. If you can't think of anything, a plain "Vote for (your name)" will work too. Maybe also add some color or glitter to help make it memorable.
4Write a good speech. Say what you are going to do, how you're going to do it, and why people should vote for you. Make it good so people can say, " "Wow! He/She has very good ideas. That is who I want running the school." Though you can mention everything, don't make it too long. People will get bored or fall asleep and they will be concerned that you might be a boring person in Student Council. Keep it short, simple, and to the point.
5Practice your speech for a day or two. Make sure to say the words clearly! Try to remember it by heart.
6On the day of the elections, drink lots of water. It will help to calm your nerves.
7Be strong. If you don't win, don't cry. You had the courage to run and that's all that matters.
8Be gracious. If you win, congratulations! Take it in stride and keep doing the best thing by your school colleagues.
9Remember- your best counts! Don't focus on who else is running- just focus on doing the best campaigning yet! You can accomplish anything as long as you try...so try!

Abused kids in the big bend area are getting help from volunteers.
A group of 20 people joined the 2nd Judicial Circuit of the Guardian ad Litem program - which watches after local youth in troubling situations.
They made their pledges Wednesday evening at the Leon County Courthouse. Senator Bill Montford, friends and family members all showed up to show the volunteers support.
"I'm elated, this is a huge service to the community and I feel really privileged to be a part of it," said Joanna Winters, one of the sworn-in volunteers.
"When you volunteer your time like these people are doing for the well-being and the sake of the children, that's a special calling. For them to do this, especially when it feels such a desperate need we have now, it's just absolutely wonderful," said Sen. Bill Montford (D) Tallahassee.
The volunteers will first connect a peer mentor and child advocate coordinator. They will then get their first case.

Vary your Swiss ball workout
BY Damien Kelly
Get more out of your Swiss ball with these exercises that work your whole body.
In an industry full of pieces of equipment, the Swiss ball is one of only a handful that have stood the test of time, for the simple reason that it brings comfort and function to exercises that previously lacked both. In this workout, we'll show you a few new exercises that you may not have thought of before so you can continue to get the most out of your ball.
1. Balancing leg lifts
Sit tall on top of a Swiss ball. Lengthen the distance between your bellybutton and sternum to engage your core muscles. Begin with both legs out in front, knees bent to 90 degrees and feet flat on the ground. Keeping your back straight, raise one foot off the ground and extend at the knee so that it is horizontal. Try not to lean back as you do this. Hold for five seconds and then place it back on the ground. Repeat with the other leg.
Sets and reps: 3 sets of 6 to 12
2. Recliners
Sit on a Swiss ball. Walk your feet forward and tilt your torso back, bracing through your core, so that you end up with your head and shoulders on the ball. Push your hips up so your body is in one straight line from head to knees. Move slowly so that the ball doesn't slip out. Pause and then move in the opposite direction and walk your way back up to seated.
Sets and reps: 3 sets of 6 to 12
Russian twists
Sit on a Swiss ball. Walk your feet forward and allow the ball to roll further up your back. Stop when your body is horizontal and your shoulders and head are resting on the ball. Reach both arms up in the air at full extension and push your hips up. Twist your body to one side, rolling the ball underneath you, until your entire back is off the ball and your arms and chest are facing out to the side. Roll back slowly and repeat on the other side. Once you've mastered the basic version, try holding a weight (picutred).
Sets and reps: 3 sets of 10 to 20
Swiss ball sit-ups
Lie with your lower back on the ball, feet on the ground. Reach your hands over your head towards the ground. Squeeze and contract your abs, raise your head and arms and then, like a wave, curl the rest of your torso off the ball until you are almost upright. Pause and lower with control. Exhale on the up phase and try to relax your upper torso.
Sets and reps: 3 sets of 10 to 20
Rollaway holds
Kneel about 60cm behind a ball. Place both hands on the ball, palms together. Lean forward on the ball, resting on your forearms. Brace your abs and roll the ball forward by extending your arms and moving your hips forward and down. Go as far as you can while maintaining your posture. Pause and return to the start. Move into the next rep without resting.
Sets and reps: 3 sets of 8 to 16
Getting the most out of your ball
Today's exercises are just to whet your appetite. There are literally thousands of exercises you can do with a Swiss ball, so be creative. Most quality balls come with brochures and wall charts of exercises to keep you challenged. If you like to buy Australian, check out the range of videos and books by Lisa Westlake at www.physicalbest.com
Which ball is best for me?
For optimal use, your ball must be the correct size. The 55cm and 65cm balls are the most popular. If you're between 160cm and 175cm tall, go for the 55cm ball, and if you're between 175cm and 195cm tall, go for a 65cm ball. Most ball companies make other sizes for people outside these height ranges. If possible, choose an anti-burst ball for added safety and durability.

Letters: Sandy and politics
I cannot be the only one shaking my head after reading the headline on page A2 of Thursday's U-T that reads: "How to spend $300 million in only a week." Surely, that had to be referring to storm relief on the East Coast, but sadly the article is about the money being spent on the presidential campaign.
Letters and commentary policy
The U-T welcomes and encourages community dialogue on important public matters. Please visit this page for more details on our letters and commentaries policy.
- E-mail email@example.com
- Mail: Andrew Kleske, Reader Outreach Editor
U-T San Diego,
P.O. Box 120191
San Diego, CA 92112-0191.
Am I the only one who sees something terribly wrong with this picture? How far would $300 million go to ease the lives of those suffering storm losses? How much more "American" would it be to apply this money to humanitarian needs? In my mind it would certainly show that both Gov. Romney and President Obama have leadership skills when it really counts.
The "free" news coverage of already-scheduled (and paid for) campaign events provides plenty of "advertising" without the candidates having to look for ways to spend this money. Hopefully, there are some intelligent, compassionate people at work in both campaigns who will say enough of this irresponsible spending when there are so many people who could benefit from this vast sum of money. – Sheree Sobel Oceanside
The carnage and devastation from Sandy is horrible to see and my heart goes out to all. But the news that President Obama and Gov. Christie are going sightseeing brings back a long-held anger.
Why do presidents and governors and other officials need to travel to see firsthand what has taken place? There are hundreds of emergency officials on site to report in minute detail exactly what is what. All this without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for presidential helicopters and security. How can the secret service offer adequate protection to those two when there are hundreds of acres of wreckage where anyone could hide? Why do those officials need to be on site where more than likely they are just in they way and hamper rather than help recovery efforts?
Their need to get their faces on TV while they meet some poor and homeless survivor and promise they will be helped "right now" and their need for vicarious thrills over powers common sense and safety.
They need to stay home and go to their offices and take care of the everyday business they have waiting for them. Maybe if they were at their desks they could see that the rescues and rebuilding can begin. – Bob Werner, Encinitas
In "Candidates focus on storm" (Campaign 2012, Oct, 31) we see pictures of New Jersey's Gov. Christie, President Obama and Gov. Romney.
Romney is seen collecting food in Ohio on the campaign trail for the people of New Jersey. FEMA has already stated that sending food to New Jersey should not be done as the added trucks required to bring in the food gets in the way of the more important aspects of the aftermath cleanup. President Obama has been lauded by Gov. Christie. They exchanged three phone calls to coordinate the actions of the state and the federal government with thank-yous coming from both sides of the conversation. the two agreed on a call for donations (not food) with the president adding a visit to a local Red Cross office.
"Heck of a Job Brownie," Michael Brown of Katrina fame (just about the only one who publicly criticized the president), must have felt that the president's action was wrong because he acted too quickly and efficiently.
Romney further went on his usual no-specifics on what he would do about FEMA. He only stated something to the effect that he would give more authority to the states. I suppose he is unaware (as usual) that that is exactly how FEMA works!

A handful of players and a couple of Bruce's backroom team contracted the illness in recent days, disrupting preparations for Saturday's FA Cup third-round trip to Middlesbrough.
In truth that may have been a stroke of luck as Bruce was planning significant changes to his side anyway, and he was still able to walk away with a 2-0 success despite nine alterations to his starting XI.
But he knows he will need to be at full strength to challenge Jose Mourinho's title-chasing Blues on Saturday and is hoping the likes of Robbie Brady, Robert Koren and Alex Bruce have all recovered in time for the match.
Even more crucial is preventing the bug spreading and Bruce has acted quickly to hand his squad some additional time off - a move that should halt the infection and aid the recovery from a busy festive period.
"We're going to give everybody a couple of days off away from the training ground," said Bruce, after goals from out-of-favour duo Aaron McLean and Nick Proschwitz saw them into the fourth round at the Riverside.
"We sincerely hope it won't be a problem for us going forward but we have five or six struggling with it at the minute - a couple of staff and three or four players, including Koren, Alex and Brady who are away home and didn't travel with the lads.
"We have to be a bit careful in a confined area like the training ground so we'll stay away.
"We've had a gruelling schedule and we just hope it's not so bad that it sweeps ahead of everyone. I had something similar about two weeks ago and there's no way you could play with that. Let's hope it's not that bad."
With those concerns disrupting Hull's build-up to the cup match, Bruce was delighted with the ease of victory over Boro - testament, he believes, to the growing depth of his squad.
"Considering the problems we've had with the illness it was difficult putting a team together," he confessed.
"But it turned out to be quite a comfortable afternoon for us which is always nice in a big cup tie.
"That just shows you how far we have come in short period of time. Getting into the Premier League does that and we've only been in this year. Everything becomes bigger and better and you improve the squad as you go along.
"We want that to continue and be here for a number of years."

Interview: Delight in the designs of Ella Doran
We catch up with designer-du-jour Ella Doran to talk about her Grand Designs and Evening Standard awards, the products that make her go 'ohh and ahh' and why sunshine is so important to her work...
You won twice at the Grand Designs Awards 2010 for your new GEO wallpaper, grabbing Best Wallpaper/Fabric and the Evening Standard Product of the Year awards. What was the inspiration behind Geo?
I was chuffed to win those awards as wallpaper it's still a new area for us, and we were applauded for standing out and looking ultra modern, yet it's a design that could work in a baroque or old fashioned home too. Barabara Chandler from the Evening Standard said some lovely things about me.
GEO is a design that I have wanted to create for some time - a wallpaper that appears to be very 3D and graphic, modern yet timeless. Thanks to being in the right place at the right time with my camera, and my team on the computer in post production, working the design into a seamless repeat, we have achieved just that.
Did you always want to be a homesware designer?
I've always been creative since a young child - I used to meticulously colour in paper doilies and hand make all my presents for my family from paint, wood, clay or wool! I've always loved the home, making it individual, special and welcoming is important to me and I've got to where I am today through hard work, commitment, compassion, laughter and having a strong eye for colour and design.
What inspires you?
Sunshine is my biggest inspiration, it's the basis of my work - my best photographs are taken when I'm not consciously trying to get a 'NEW' design. The award for the GEO wallpaper would not exist without the glorious sunlight we had on that day.
Are you a city or country girl?
I was born in London and brought up in Bristol - both cities I love and I've been living in London for 20 years now. I'm lucky though as my father lives in Hereford and my mother in Devon, so the kids and I can get away from the city if we need to and hang out in the real woods!
How would you describe your own homes' style?
Eclectic, I have two sons and a husband who is a music fanatic, so records rule supreme, as do a million and one other very important things!
Everything works because we have very high ceilings and huge sash windows, seven of which are in our main kitchen/living space.
I love mid-century modern furniture and design, which mixes well with my charity and antique shop finds, along side a mix of my textiles and roller blinds.
What do you think will be a big trend this summer?
Family holidays in the UK. Eating healthy food, Picnics, lovely rugs and gorgeous melamine for your picnic to look cool. Products that make you go 'ohh and ahh' and want to hold and to have them.
Can you share your top decorating tips with us?
Accent one wall with a wallpaper and use as a backdrop to your sofa and lamp.
Take down your curtains and put up the blinds, let as much light into your house as possible. Even consider bottom-up roller blinds so that you can be concealed from your neighbours, but still let some light in first thing in the morning.
