Eggers, a Republican from
Eggers made the remarks during a BND interview about her candidacy. At one point, she was asked whether she would sign up for a pension -- a perk that a few candidates and lawmakers have declined.
Eggers said she would not accept the pension because the state is broke, but then added, "Actually, I'm in it for the insurance, health insurance. I'm an independent business owner and I've got a daughter that's got, one that's got kidney issues and one that's got breathing issues, and I've got an insurance rider for her kidneys, even though we're not supposed to be, what is it called, pre-existing."
She continued, "So, No. 1, the reason why I did it was for the health care, because it has pretty good health care. That's my honest answer."
Eggers' campaign, when asked later in the week whether she wished to clarify her remarks, said she will not accept the insurance if elected.
She said in the prepared statement: "As an
In the earlier interview, Eggers said she would not accept a pension, because of the state's financial problems: "If we're broke, we're broke."
She then explained that she would take the health insurance "because every family nowadays makes a decision between, if their husband works and their wife works, who has a better insurance plan. That's a no-brainer. That's what I would do, too."
But then she backpedaled some: "Actually, we've got a good health care plan now, so ... I might not even do that, too. So, until I get there and take a look at it, I can't tell you."
Eggers also seemed to shift her position on whether she would take the state-funded pension available to lawmakers: "Now, if we start to pay off all of our debt, and we start to get jobs here, and we start to grow the economy like the way I want to, and if we're doing well, then a rising tide raises all ships, and then, you know, we're back in a land of everybody prospering, and that would be wonderful for this area, right? Yes."
When asked whether that meant she'd take the pension if the state's finances improved, she replied: "If we weren't broke, it'd be a different story, but we're broke, so no. You see what I'm saying? You're asking questions based on a what-if world."
Eggers is running against appointed state Rep.
Costello, when asked for comment on Eggers' remarks, said: "Obviously, everybody does a job for a different reason. I'm in this job to help the people of
Costello has signed up for both the legislative pension and the health insurance.
A lawmaker can earn a pension by serving just four years. The maximum annual pension is 85 percent of salary, which requires 20 years of service. The salary for House members is about
State lawmakers used to get free health insurance for themselves if they retired after just four years in office, though they still had to pay premiums for dependent coverage. But under a new law that took effect in June, retired lawmakers will have to start paying premiums for health insurance. The premiums will be determined by a state agency, using a formula based on the retirees' pensions.

ANAHEIM – A 17-year-old boy who police suspect was under the influence of alcohol and weaved in and out of traffic on Lincoln Avenue is believed to have started a five-vehicle collision that sent five people to hospitals, Anaheim police Sgt. Tim Schmidt said.
Two people are in critical condition and three others suffered moderate to major injuries, he added.
About 7:45 p.m., police said, a Buena Park teen traveled at high speed, heading west in the 2800 block of Lincoln Avenue, near Beach Boulevard, Schmidt said.
As he weaved in and out of traffic lanes, police said, the teen sideswiped two vehicles, which included a van with a mother and her 10 children, before rear-ending a black SUV, Schmidt said.
The force of the crash sent the SUV into the raised median, through shrubbery, trees and flowers and into oncoming traffic before it collided with a silver Toyota driven by a nurse who had just left work, Schmidt said.
The driver of the SUV and Toyota are in critical injury after the crash, he added. The teen ended up spinning 360 degrees into a parked vehicle before coming to rest, Schmidt said.
A 17-year-old passenger in the teen's car was injured. The mother and the children in the van were not injured, Schmidt said.
"They are lucky they were not injured at all," he said.
When officers arrived at the scene, they gave the teen a sobriety test, during which Schmidt said he displayed symptoms of intoxication and was arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence with injury.
The teen driver was uninjured, Schmidt added.

OK-- I was just cruising a Corgi rescue site and almost every dog they had was a Corgi mix with something. One of their success stories was a Corgi and a Greyhound!!!!! Body of a corgi and the brindle of a greyhound!!!

OK-- I was just cruising a Corgi rescue site and almost every dog they had was a Corgi mix with something. One of their success stories was a Corgi and a Greyhound!!!!! Body of a corgi and the brindle of a greyhound!!!
Well, I've seen some really cute mixes, but there's a purebred that beats most of them, it is the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen. It looks like a mix between a Basset Hound and an Irish Wolfhound. They're really cute. I have had an Australian Cattle Dog mix that my eldest and I have debated about for some time. She says the other part was Dalmation, I say German Short-haired Pointer, but the girl we got her from said Cattle Dog/Beagle. She was very striking looking and led us to get into the Cattle Dog breed. We also have a Jack Russell Terrier Mix and I say the other part is Pug due to the girth size of her barrel. I love mixed breeds.
My parents found a beagle mixed pup in the middle of a hi-way during a snow storm. My mother was 7 months pregnant with me. They rescued the dog and named him Lucky. Lucky was with us for almost 16 years and that was the best pet we had. He was extremely devoted to my family. Once my father (who is hard of hearing) went for a walk in the woods with Lucky. Lucky started barking but my father couldn't see what the dog was barking at. He tried to continue down the path but Lucky grabbed his pant leg and began tugging. My father then knew something was wrong and looked around more closely. There in the path ahead was a huge rattlesnake! My father didn't hear the warning rattles and surely would have been bitten had he continued. I currently have a Basset/Lab mix. Solid black with a lab head and a Basset body. He's very active, loves the water, and is a great, but sometimes annoying, companion to my pug!
Lucky sounds like he was one very special dog.
It must have been fate on that hi-way that night that your mom came upon him.
It just amazes me what some dogs can do.
Aren't dogs great...they will lay their lives down for you without even thinking about it. My vote is for our dog Tigger...he's a Husky/Pitbull mix.
i have a bassett/collie heis 7monthes old he is one of the best looking dogs i have ever seen and is admired and petted wherever wego
My neighbor has a chihuahua and dachsund mix! A chiweenie! He is actually very adorable!Originally posted by teena:
The strangest I have seen was a rottie/basset mix. So ugly he was cute!
Chihuahua and Dachsund! Chiweenie!
my neighbor has a chaweenie, he has along body with a chahuaua head. he is all black
Well...Abber is kind of a strange mix....
cocker/poodle/schnauzer/pug lol
When I got her as a pup I had no clue what she'd grow up to look like!!
Thanks vinjashira for the siggy
Wow-those would be some pretty wierd mixes!!
My friend had a American Pit Bull Terrier/Shih Tzu Mix named Capone, sadly he was stolen from their front yard!
But he was short with a white body and had short hairs sticking out of his body, he was so weird, but so cute!
"To all the dogs I've loved before...Who traveled in & out my door...I'm glad you came along...I dedicate this song to all the dogs I've loved before"
It's funny, I have a Beagle/Black and Tan Coonhound/Husky mix, came up looking like a Very "round" (we dont call her fat) short, with a small head, the husky tail, and undercoat is grey, with a white chest marking. Everyone says she looks Rottie, and so we've been denied from renting apartments because of it, but her color is more tan than chocolate like a rottie. And she is too short and has a white chest marking. Her ears are too long and hre head is shaped all wrong, lol, shows what ignorance and jumping to conclusions gets them, they see black and tan, and freak! One of my favorite dogs is a Tibetan Mastiff, after I saw the movie as a child, Man's Best Friend, I was in love, colored nicely, lovely long coat, oh, gorgeous. But the black and tan look only adds to the rottie/dobie fear. One apartment turned us down because we had a Min Pin, they heard Pinscher and thought Miniature Doberman, BUT Min Pins actually don't even descend from Dobies, they are an older breed, descending from German Pinscher, with no relation to Dobies, except a comon founding ancestor.
Well, listen at me rambling,
Luv dem Mutts!

Steph and Jes
ps. They have no idea what breeds he is mixed with, everyone is puzzled.

Aortic Aneurysm Terms
The part of the body between the rib cage and the hip bones
Acute Aortic Syndromes
Acute Aortic Syndromes refer to the aortic emergencies that include: aortic dissections, intramural hematomas, penetrating aortic ulcers, aortic aneurysm leaks and ruptures, and traumatic aortic transactions.
The largest artery in the body which has its origin at the heart. It gives off branches to the extremities, neck and major organs for the purpose of supplying oxygenated blood
Aortic Valve
The aortic valve is the outflow valve for the left ventricle of the heart, the chamber that pumps blood to the body. The aortic valve opens when the ventricle squeezes blood out and then closes to keep blood from leaking back into the ventricle.
Chest X-ray
Commonly used to detect abnormalities in the lungs, but can also detect abnormalities in the heart, aorta, and the bones of the thoracic area
Computerized Tomography Scan (CT Scan)
A special radiographic technique that uses a computer to assimilate multiple X-ray images into a two-dimensional cross-sectional image. This technique can reveal many soft tissue structures not shown by conventional radiography. Scans may also be dynamic in which a movement of a dye is tracked.
A condition in which there is bleeding into and along the wall of the aorta. This condition may also involve abnormal widening or ballooning of the aorta (aneurysm)
A diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to make images of the heart chambers, valves and surrounding structures. It can measure cardiac output and is a sensitive test for inflammation around the heart (pericarditis). It can also be used to detect abnormal anatomy or infections of the heart valves.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
A special imaging technique used to image internal structures of the body, particularly the soft tissues. An MRI image is often superior to a normal X-ray image. Images are very clear and are particularly good for soft tissue, brain and spinal cord, joints and abdomen.
Median Sternotomy
The incision traditionally used to perform heart surgery in which the sternum or breast bone is divided down the middle from top to bottom
Penetrating aortic ulcer
An atherosclerotic lesion that penetrates the inner layers of the aorta. A penetrating aortic ulcer may lead to dissection. Patients with this lesion frequently experience chest or back pain similar to acute aortic dissection.
Usually a synthetic material much like fishing line that is minimally reactive in biological tissue
Being similar in size, shape, and position of parts on opposite sides of a dividing line

Unexpected high rates of tobacco use
EMBARGO: 00:01H (London time) Friday February 17, 2006. In North America the embargo lifts at 18:30H ET Thursday February 16, 2006.In many regions of the world, the difference in current cigarette smoking between boys and girls is narrower than expected, according to an Article published online today (Friday February 17, 2006) by The Lancet.
In the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), Charles Warren (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA) and colleagues surveyed around 750 000 students aged 13-15 years from 131 countries and the Gaza Strip and West Bank about tobacco use. They found that overall nearly 9% of students were current smokers and 11% currently used tobacco products other than cigarettes. They also found that the difference in current cigarette smoking between boys and girls is smaller than the difference between men and women. Almost one in five never-smokers reported that they were susceptible to smoking in the next year, more than four in ten students had high exposure to secondhand smoke at home, and five in ten had high exposure in public places.
Dr Warren states: "Tobacco use is a major worldwide contributor to deaths from chronic diseases, and findings from the GYTS suggest current dire warnings that the annual death toll will double to 10 million by 2020 may be a conservative estimate. The true toll from tobacco use could be even greater with high rates of non-cigarette tobacco use and high rates of smoking among young girls.
"Reduction of tobacco consumption will require a redoubling of efforts to prevent initiation and promote cessation among the large proportion of young people who currently use tobacco. High exposure to secondhand smoke suggests a need for countries to pass strong and effective smoke-free policies," he adds. (Exact quote not in published paper; sent via e-mail)

STOKESDALE, N.C. -- Day eight of the search for two missing fishermen on Belews Lake will commence Friday, as search teams prepare for a high volume of recreational boaters this weekend.
Belews Lake has remained open to the public, despite ongoing search efforts for two men--Jacob Line and James "Pat" Bohenstiel--who have been declared missing since Thursday night, when a lake goer noticed the men's boat and personal belongings near the area known as the "hot hole."
Stokes County EMS has posted "missing persons" signs in all marinas of the lake. The agency's director, Greg Collins, said he is hopeful this weekend's expected influx of boaters will aid the search teams by adding "extra eyes" on the water.
Since Monday, the magnitude of the search has scaled back significantly--from 400 personnel to only 15 to 20 personnel per day, according to Collins. He said multiple agencies from different counties are still participating in the search, as teams take turns conducting "surface searches."
Collins said this Saturday, at 10 a.m., the agencies will be participating in a full-scale training exercise. He said ironically, the training is for search and rescue/recovery, and it was scheduled prior to when the fishermen went missing. Because of the existing circumstances, Collins said the training will be conducted as an active search throughout the designated search area.
Collins said despite the lack of results from the week-long search, teams still believe there is a "high probability" the men are in the water. However, he said search teams cannot be 100 percent certain, because no one reported seeing the men actually fall into the water the night they went missing.

Tip: KDE 4.11 includes a reworked OpenGL 2 compositor. OpenGL 3.1 got introduced. By default OpenGL 2 with the fallback to OpenGL 1 is used. If the hardware doesn't support OpenGL 3.1 it automatically falls back to OpenGL 2 or OpenGL 1. When running kwin_gles KDE defaults to OpenGL ES 3.0 if present otherwise OpenGL ES 2.0 is used. Catalyst Legacy seems to have issues with this change. Here is a workaround to get it working:
#!/bin/bash export $(dbus-launch) export KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 export KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 kwin --replace &
Save it as a script and place it into your ~/.config/autostart dir. It is also possible to disable compositing till upstream fixes the bug.

Facebook launches Bullying Prevention Hub
PORTLAND, Ore. - Facebook is taking a stronger stand against bullying.
On Wednesday, the company launched the Bullying Prevention Hub, a whole new division of the site dedicated to anti-bullying. It includes a Safety Center where parents and teenagers can find tools to help them learn more, discuss and report cyber bullying.
Facebook teamed up with independent charities around the world to get advice from them on how to further develop the site.
Dr. Justin Patchin has been studying cyber bullying for over 10 years and thinks that parents are an important key in today's rollout.
"I think that part of the issue here is making sure that adults are aware of the tools on Facebook to report bullying so that if a teen comes to them with a concern, that they can help guide them, help direct them in terms of using these tools," Patchin said.
There are tutorial videos that will take you through the advanced security features and new App Dashboard.
And what about Instagram, which Facebook owns? The company says those anti-bullying policies are separate. Both Instagram and Twitter have information on their sites about reporting bullying, but nothing that is as detailed as what's rolling out on Facebook.

FIRST PERSONAL INSOLVENCY PRACTITIONERS APPROVED - The first personal insolvency practitioners came on stream this week as efforts intensify to clean up the mortgage debt pile in Ireland. This came as one company, Pepper, announced that it would offer incentives for householders who stick to agreed split mortgage plans.
Karl Deeter of Irish Mortgage Brokers says it is important to point out that Pepper had bought out GE Money loanbook. "When they bought that book, there was a heavy discount. This won't happen with the Irish banks because we bailed them out and they're allowed to keep their assets looking as if they're at the price at which they were lent out," he explains. "This is evidence of the importance of enforcing losses on banks when they make bad decisions rather than bailing them out. There is a positive aspect to that in that allows them make realistic commercial decisions with their borrowers,'' he states.
Mr Deeter believes that the new personal insolvency practitioner arrangement will not benefit some people as they will deal primarily with the banks. He says the banks are intent on vetoing as much as they can because they believe by keeping people ''on the hook'' there is a chance they can recoup some of their money over time. "If you make a deal that has a five year end-date, the banks are closing their window of opportunity. The banks will probably try to veto as many deals as possible so they can see who will go into complete bankruptcy versus staying in the steps below."
He also points out that the PIP system is untested and he believes the debt settlement arrangements will be more successful.
MORNING BRIEFS - Computer network equipment maker Cisco Systems is cutting 4,000 jobs, or 5% of its workforce, as it makes another attempt to reduce costs and refocus on growth areas in the face of uncertain demand.
The company employs over 200 people here - and it is not yet known where the cuts will be made or if workers here will be affected. Shares in Cisco fell nearly 10% in after hours trade to close at $23.84 - that was the biggest drop in more than a year. Yesterday's fourth quarter results, however, were in line with expectations. The company profits of $2.3 billion were better than last year.
*** US prosecutors have brought criminal charges against two former JPMorgan bankers in a trading scandal that cost the bank $6.2 billion last year. They are the first charges in the so-called ''London whale'' scandal, which referred to one trader because of the scale of the losses. But that trader was not one of the two charged. The two who were worked at the bank's chief investment office in London and they were charged with wire fraud and conspiracy to falsify books and records related to the trading losses.
*** The hedge fund billionaire, John Paulson, has agreed to buy Steinway Musical Instruments, for $512m. The company is renowned for its pianos. The move has raised eyebrows both in the world of music and on Wall Street. Paulson made billions in 2007 by betting against the housing market. He usually takes a stake in companies but has never bought one outright. His firm specialises in mortgages, gold and other financial assets. There were reports overnight that he had cut his holdings in gold by more than half. He had told investors as recently as last month that they should own gold.
*** Shares in Japan fell overnight after the Finance Minister denied that the government was considering a cut to the corporate tax rate. The Nikkei was up in recent days on rumours that a cut was coming down the tracks. At 25.5%, Japan has the second highest corporate tax rate in the OECD. The government is expected to increase consumption taxes in the near future.

Listen to a Computer Recreate Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'
Subscribe to Diffuser.fm on
YouTube is at it again (note: it never really stopped). Yet another user has re-stylized a beloved piece of pop culture in some unfathomable way. YouTube user Arganalth has thrown together various computer bits and pieces — please, don't ask us to get more specific than that — to play Nirvana's iconic hit, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," from their 1991 breakthrough, Nevermind. Check it out above.
It's an understandably blippy and choppy rendition but nevertheless instantly recognizable. Of course, nothing can replace the original, so take comfort in the fact that our computers can't quite replicate or substitute every aspect of our culture yet.

The late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is the subject of the first-ever fully authorized documentary, Montage of Heck. The film will be released in theaters later this month, and then on HBO on May 4. Recently, director Brett Morgen revealed details about Cobain's 1994 suicide note, saying the singer-guitarist "died of a broken heart."
Cobain's daughter with Courtney Love, Frances Bean — who is also Montage of Heck's executive producer — also opened up about the making of the movie and her relationship to her famous parents. She even admitted that she's not much of a Nirvana fan.

Eriksson selects first Mexico squad for qualifiers
Mexico coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has included Brazil-born midfielder Leandro Augusto Oldoni in the Swede's first squad since being appointed manager in June.
The 30-year-old from Cascavel, who is a naturalised Mexican, will have his national-team experience in a training camp from August 4 to 6.
Oldoni has played in Mexico since 2000. After one season at Leon, he moved to Pumas in 2001 where he won two local leagues and the 2003-04 Mexican title.
The 23-man squad, comprised entirely of home-based players, will meet up as preparation for the third stage of the World Cup qualifiers, which begins on August 20 against Honduras at the Estadio Azteca.
Jamaica and Canada are the other two teams in Group Two.
No players from Cruz Azul or San Luis players have been named as they will be playing a round-six league game on August 6.
Eriksson also revealed there will be a second camp on August 11 and 12 for which the personnel may change.
Mexico squad: Sanchez (Santos), Ochoa (America), Corona (Tecos); Esparza, Magallon (both Guadalajara), Rojas (America), Lopez, Pinto (both Pachuca), Duenas (Toluca), Martinez (Morelia), Castillo (Santos); Perez (Monterrey), Pineda, Medina, Morales (all Guadalajara), Correa (Pachuca), Oldoni (Pumas), Arce, Torres (both Santos); Bautista (Jaguares), Landin (Morelia), Arellano (Guadalajara), Ochoa (Monterrey).

Last week, I wrote about the 3 VAR Readiness packages. Well, just to make sure you can find them...they are all out on the Learning Plan Tool.
Check it out at: www.microsoftlearningplans.com
The Learning Plan Tool is FREE and helps you build prescriptive learning plans. The packages are searchable by Specialization, Product, Role, Exam, Licensing, and Buisiness Readiness. So, easy to find.
Once you build a plan, you can send the plan with links to the training to your team via email through the tool.
We have found that Partners using the tool take 7x the training than other partners ....and... the feedback has been very positive. The reason - training is easy to find, we publish the most relevant training, and you can pass the training plan to your team with links!!
Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

Estee Lauder Perfectionist [CP+] with Poly-Collagen Peptides Correcting Serum Reviews
"Perfectionist" is the Perfect Name for This!How do you know when a moisturizer truly works immediately at improving your skin's appearance? When you apply it for the very first time and your husband says, "Wow, are you glowing! Are you wearing new makeup or something?" No, I was wearing Estee Lauder's "Perfectionist [CP+] with Poly-Collagen Peptides Correcting Serum." That's how quickly my face, already in pretty good shape, reacted to...read more the incredible formula. The very silky, lightweight serum penetrated immediately, smoothing my skin, disguising tiny wrinkles, and leaving behind a baby-soft, luminous, yet powder-like finish. It was like magic. What does it? "Perfectionist" is replete with collagen-producing ingredients, so it works in the present and will continue to work in the future to repair skin damage and renew cells. Should I tell you this? Oh, well, you're paying for it anyway: The hydrolyzed fish included in the unique formula is one type of topical protein which mends tissue and enables skin to produce more of its own collagen. The formula is chock-full of anti-oxidants and sun protection, a must-have in any moisturizer no matter the season (keep in mind that winter sun is just as damaging as the sun you experience in the summer months). Silicone in "Perfectionist" works as a type of "shapewear" to tighten and "fill in" creases and hide lines instantaneously, while mineral pigments cast a flattering sheen. Root, fruit, whey, corn, and flower extracts feed skin. Caffeine (yes, think Starbucks here) is a currently popular ingredient which has been shown to dehydrate and constrict blood vessels, thereby reducing annoying puffiness and even facial flushing (temporarily). In the long run, it works as an anti-oxidant and enhances the performance of other ingredients. Some studies have suggested that caffeine acts over time to reduce UV damage and may perhaps be more potent than much-touted green tea. I extensively researched the ingredients in this because I am now addicted to it. I caught my husband applying it to some frown lines, with great success. He now shares my container. Even better, I buy him Lauder's concentrated "Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler." It behaves like spackle to camouflage enlarged pores as well as furrows and grooves. We are believers! Don't even come near our "Perfectionist" products--we will never give them up! — 4 years, 7 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

A WINNER!One of the best anti aging products I have ever used. It is important to know that this is serum and must be used with moisturizer for the best effect.

For important Kodak momentsI have a little bottle of this that I only use on very special occasions! It smooths out those deep creases in my forehead so well. I wish it were permanent, but alas...

My favorite moisturizerAlthough it is pretty expensive and I have tried every type of moisturizer you can find at the drug store I keep coming back to Perfectionist. It absorbs quickly and there is an immediate change in your skin's texture.

My Reasons for Reporting This

The DMA Nonprofit Federation, an organization within the Direct Marketing Association that specifically caters to the needs and concerns of nonprofit fundraisers held its Leadership Summit 2014 May 6-8th in beautiful South Carolina low country on Kiawah Island. The purpose of the Summit is to bring together a select group of senior-level nonprofit organization fundraisers and agencies who work on their behalf.
The theme was "Overcoming Barriers to Growth," as set forth by the conference Co-Chairs, Joan Wheatley of Special Olympics International and Tom Harrison of Russ Reid. The event included 100 senior-level attendees. By design, the Summit event featured a unique format bringing in top speakers and then breaking into roundtable discussions to react to the speakers and discuss and offer up solutions to barriers among attendees.
Since it had been several years since the last Summit, the organization leaders were able to reconnect and jointly evaluate the key problems they face in fundraising—and not one mentioned the current USPS crisis! Instead it was all surrounding the donor experience and how to reach them to retain their support in this newly evolving landscape with limited time, new smart technologies and a new type of donor with differing communications needs and finding ways to help the donor to actually pick which channel to respond to.
Dr. Susan Raymond, Ph.D., Executive Vice President for Research and Analytics for Changing our World provided fascinating and insightful new data to the attendees vital to fundraising regarding the changing donor demographic landscape, changes in the nation's economic recovery due to changes in the labor force, surprising new data on income levels among ethnic groups, and more.
Such changes are all pointing to a greater need for organizations to focus more outwardly to learn about the donor rather than focusing so much effort on educating the donor about their organizations. She focused on structural changes to the nation's economy and a recovery that will take longer since this economic downturn has more to do with the nation's labor pool and less to do with cyclical changes. There is some growth in new jobs but they are at a lower pay and at a lower skill level, while the higher paying jobs are concentrated within the high tech and engineering arenas with fewer candidates leading to a very different jobs recovery and long-term economic outlook for the nation. Dr. Raymond has worked at the New York Academy of Sciences where she founded the public policy program; she has held positions at the World Bank and the US Agency for International Development, among other esteemed positions.
Chuck Longfield, the Chief Scientist at Blackbaud, founder of Target Software and Target Analysis Group and a holder of a B.A. in Mathematics and M.Ed. from Harvard University, focused on key changes that organizations made to their practices that resulted in amazing fundraising results that he was able to study and define based on data. For example, he advocated that organizations make simple thank you calls in order to see a lift in their numbers and he was able to showcase the result with precision. Small fixes to their processes can result in great results and can be tracked via data. He underscored one of the common themes of the day—the need to make changes and overcome reluctance and/or fear to make such changes in order to move the organizations forward and keep support levels sustainable for years rather than focusing on doing the same thing each year.
Peggy Dyer, the Chief Marketing Officer of the American Red Cross, an organization with a 130 year legacy and 700 field units, provided the attendees with insights into her own challenges and innovations over the past several years as the Red Cross had to embrace change due to a severe revenue shortfall. Peggy outlined some of the newer terms used by the American Red Cross and outlined a consistent set of principles and values the organization uses for its own marketing approach. She also stressed the power of "grit," and how valuable it is to have grit as a fundraiser—this takes time, strength, consistency, a long term view. She brings a unique strength to the organization from the commercial sphere, having worked as the Chief Marketing Officer for Citibank and at senior marketing roles at Sarah Lee Corporation's Champions division, Quaker Oats' Gatorade, and Ralston Purina. Prior to joining the American Red Cross, she was the VP of marketing Growth and Development for Allstate Insurance Company. Peggy also offered wise counsel on how to break down staff silos and how to keep everyone in tune and working towards goals together.
Roger Craver, the founder of the wildly popular blog The Agitator did his best to agitate and stimulate dialogue and debate among his longtime peers and colleagues. Roger is among the "best in breed" among fundraisers and pioneered fundraising methods in the 1960s and is now focusing on encouraging innovation and positive disruption. One of his insights regards his belief there is an overuse of attribution—he cautioned to be very careful in how this is viewed and utilized. Though marketers often believe everything they are doing affects response, it is much broader than that and can be as simple as taking a look at the customer service and the donor's experience with the organization. Other key problems—data can be a real quagmire, no real lines between online and offline, too much testing by organizations when all they need to do sometimes is see that others are already having success and adopt a best solution rather than test it repeatedly.
The organizations were broken into 5 groups to discuss their key barriers to growth. These were then summarized and potential solutions were offered at the end of the event. Interestingly, the organizations began developing a new fundraising vocabulary: Acculterated; Crisis-tunity; Grit.
The planners and attendees are now being surveyed on the event and the next Leadership Summit is in the works—some attendees would like to bring their "next-in-command," the leaders see the value of including up and coming superstars and leaders in-training at their organizations. Another universal theme of the event was how to retain and grow their future leaders and to ensure they do not leave their organization since the talent pool for direct marketing/fundraising is so slim. As much as they look forward, fundraisers understand the need to have a legacy. Organization leaders offered their own "succession planning" they are using to ensure the organization continues with strong leaders in place.
The DMA Nonprofit Federation is:
- The leading source for nonprofit marketing and fundraising professional education and industry advancement.

- An aggressive and effective advocate for charitable organizations in postal, regulatory, legislative, and accountability issues at the federal, state and local levels.

Britney Spears, 'I Love Rock 'N Roll' – Terrible Classic Rock Covers
Subscribe to Ultimate Classic Rock on
For a relatively simple jukebox anthem, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' 'I Love Rock 'N Roll' proved surprisingly influential during its successful run on the charts in 1982, paving the way for female artists of subsequent generations to exert greater control over their careers and break boundaries of their own. For example, artists like Britney Spears, who recorded what she presumably thought was a tribute to Jett with her 2002 cover of the rock classic.
Perhaps the worst thing about Spears' version of 'I Love Rock 'N Roll' is that it didn't necessarily have to be this painful. The song's stomping beat and simple chord structure lend themselves to the dance-remix treatment, and the vocal melody doesn't impose a lot of demands on the singer — which is exactly why it's in permanent heavy rotation in karaoke bars all over the world, and why it was chosen for the big karaoke scene in Spears' 2002 movie 'Crossroads.'
The pop star even claimed to have an affinity for the classic, telling one interviewer, "I sing that song all the time. It just made sense for me to do that. I just love the song, and I love Joan Jett. It's a very girl-empowering song. I just wanted to do it, and so I did." Unfortunately, she didn't seem to have a firm grasp on the track's origins or history. In another interview, she enthused, "I just love the song. I love Pat Benatar, and I just think she's amazing. It's like she's a rock 'n' roll chick and she's just having a good time, and it's a very empowering song."
Obviously, a person doesn't need to be a musical scholar in order to deliver a convincing rendition of the song. But her claims to the contrary notwithstanding, Spears sounds disconnected on every level in her version of 'I Love Rock 'N Roll' — even if the song doesn't require its singer to hit any crazy notes, they should still sound like they, you know, love rock 'n' roll. Jett's version (which is itself a cover of a 1975 song originally recorded by Arrows) endures because of its perfectly brash, snotty attitude, something Spears and her producers tried swapping out for mechanized instrumentation, DJ scratching and a remarkably emotionless lead vocal. It didn't work.
Somewhat surprisingly, listeners seemed to agree; Spears' cover, released as a single in the spring of 2002, failed to chart in the U.S., although it did make a fairly sizable dent in a number of European markets. Coupled with the painfully clunky version of the Rolling Stones' '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' she tracked for her 'Oops! … I Did It Again' album, it provides ample proof that wherever her strengths may lie, Spears isn't meant to record classic-rock covers. It's a lesson we're all hoping she doesn't soon forget.

Understanding Hash, Sort and Exchange Spill eventsOctober 19th, 2011
Certain SQL Server query execution operations are calibrated to perform best by using a (somewhat) large amount of memory as intermediate storage. The Query Optimizer will choose a plan and estimate the cost based on these operators using this memory scratch-pad. But this is, of course, only an estimate. At execution the estimates may prove wrong and the plan must continue despite not having enough memory. In such an event, these operators spill to disk. When a spill occurs, the memory scratch-pad is flushed into tempdb and more data is accommodated in the (now) free memory. When the data flushed to tempdb is needed again, is read from disk. Needless to say, spilling into tempdb is order of magnitude slower than using just the memory scratch-pad. Monitoring for spilling is specially important in ETL jobs, since these occurrences may cause the ETL job to stretch for many more minutes, sometimes even hours. For an exhaustive discussion of ETL, including some references to spills, see The Data Loading Performance Guide.

DY BHA is Lactic Acid Free
Windflower, what other products do you use in addition to your 5% SA?
kcurls, here is the list:
green tea cleansing milk (PM) - use warm wet washcloth for AM
oxygen serum (AM & PM)
vit c serum (AM)
retin-a cream 0.05% (PM)
micro crystals (3x a week)
balancing oil mixed with HA (PM)
balancing lotion (AM)
my skin has finally turned the corner...in the last month i have had only 1 pimple on my chin/jaw as opposed to having 3 or 5 at any given time. i have also stopped touching my chin/jaw area. pigmentation is fading, texture is smooth, and i have a glow.
i barely have any blackheads on my nose...hopefully, within the next month or two, the nose will be totally unclogged.
the oxygen serum stops pimples in their tracks. i had the sore feeling and a red spot coming out above my eyebrow area and the oxygen serum made it disappear within a day and half. i first bought samples to try.
thanks to RCW for posting about PSF skincare.
Windflower, what other products do you use in addition to your 5% SA?
my favorite products from PSF:
Gentle Cleansing Castile (for summer)
Green tea cleanser (for winter)
Vit C serum
5% Salicylic acid (great for blackheads)
Balancing Oil
Moisture Balancing Lotion (even better than the Balancing Oil) --- both are good for oily combination skin
Micro crystals (received two samples)
SPF 30 sunscreen
I can't wait until they have a 10% off and free shipping special again.
you can join their mailing list to receive notices; no spam from them.
RCW, another newbie to your system here.
I have oily skin, occasional blemishes, blackheads and clogged pores around my nose, some on the chin.
I ordered everything from PSF to start and here's what I got:
Gentle Castile Cleanser
Balancing Oil
Vitamin C serum
HA serum
Sample size DMAE gel
Any advice to add to this routine -- mainly, have I left any big holes? I don't have a lot of hyperpigmentation but do have some.
I didn't see where to order the RetinA. . . TIA.
What is the CP Serum, and what is it for?
Ok, I'll tell you what problems I'm trying to fix and what I'm going to order. Tell me where I'm wrong or what else I need to do, or even what to take out:
PSF Castile cleanser
Vitamin C
Emu oil
I have acne (for 3 years), scars to accompany said acne, crows feet and fine lines. Also deeper lines where my dimples used to be. The elevens between my brows won't be affected, I know. Something is happening with my eyes, but not sure what. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they're puffy, and after puffy wrinkles that take some time to even out. Semi-oily skin, too.
I plan to order tonight this weekend some time as I'm about to run out of one of my night time potions.
I want to get some Retin A but the medsmex site has been down all week long. If anyone knows of somewhere else to get this, please let me know. I'm seriously considering going to a dermatologist for the acne and asking for it then.
DMAE - wait 30
Vit C - wait 10
HA/oil - only if needed
SA 2% - wait 30
HA/oil - only if needed
Could you explain the long waits to me? I have to say I don't mind waiting at night, but the morning waits are daunting. I already get up at 5:30 a.m.!

Box Office Analysis: Aug. 19
There's always room for dessert, as Universal proved this weekend.
American Pie 2 managed to hold on to the top of the box office charts two weeks in a row, which in this summer of one-week wonders is quite a fait accompli.
Lack of competition and weak late summer openings no doubt helped sustain the Pie sequel. The R-rated comedy earned $21.4 million at 3,072 theaters ($6,966 per theater).
Even though that was a 52 percent crash from last week, it remained the highest average per theater of any film this week.
It also adds to Universal's string of summer hits that include The Mummy Returns, The Fast and the Furious and Jurassic Park III. American Pie 2's cume is approximately $87.8 million and should well surpass the original American Pie, which grossed a total of $102.7 million domestically.
American Pie 2 is directed by J.B. Rogers and stars Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Eugene Levy.
New Line Cinema's Rush Hour 2 also repeated its No. 2 position from last week. In its third week at the box office, it earned a meaty $19.2 million, averaging $6,234 per theater. Though it fell 42 percent from last week, the picture may be on its way to surpassing the $200 million mark. It's cume so far is $164.8 million.
Directed by Brett Ratner, Rush Hour 2 stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
Rat Race, Paramount's PG-13-rated comedy, opened up in third place to an estimated $11.8 million at 2,550 theaters ($4, 627 per theater).
A soft opening was predicted for the film, which falls between the cracks in terms of genre. It did however surpass American Outlaws and Captain Corelli's Mandolin, which both opened this weekend.
Rat Race is directed by Jerry Zucker and stars John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg, Rowan Atkinson, Jon Lovitz, Seth Green, Breckin Meyer and Cuba Gooding Jr.
Miramax's The Others held on to fourth place in its second week, taking in an estimated $10.8 million, That is only a 23 percent drop from its opening week. It expanded to 2,153 theaters, about 500 more than last week, and took in an average of $5,016 per theater.
Directed by Alejandro Amenabar, The Others stars Nicole Kidman.
Dropping two rungs to No. 5 was Disney's G-rated comedy The Princess Diaries. Playing across 2,726 screens, it made an estimated $9.5 million and averaged $3,485 per theater.
The Princess Diaries is directed by Garry Marshall and stars Julie Andrews and newcomer Anne Hathaway.
No doubt the most talked-about film of the week, Captain Corelli's Mandolin came in at a No. 6, earning a dismal $7.1 million.
Jeff Sakson, Universal's Senior Vice President for National Publicity, pointed out that while the per screen average wasn't bad, the total earnings were lower than what they had expected.
"We would have liked it to have done better, so of course we are disappointed," he said Sunday morning. "Everyone worked really hard on this film. Unfortunately, reviews from London were bad."
"But apparently, word of mouth is good and it received an A – in the cinema scores," he added.
All the attention the film received when Penelope Cruz showed up at the premiere with Tom Cruise in tow obviously didn't pay off. The film averaged $4,454 per theater and opened on 1,594 screens.
Directed by John Madden, Captain Corelli's Mandolin stars Nicolas Cage and Penelope Cruz.
Dropping two notches to No. 7 was 20th Century Fox's PG-13 Planet of the Apes. In its third week the sci-fi adventure film pulled in an estimated $6.87 million (-45 percent) at 3,059 theaters. Its cume is $160.9 and may also be on its way to the coveted $200 million mark.
Planet of the Apes is directed by Tim Burton and stars Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter and Michael Clarke Duncan.
American Outlaws opened at No. 8. Warner Bros.' PG-13-rated western adventure earned a bleak $4.8 million. Playing across 2,348 screens, it averaged a dismal $2,049 per theater. Looks like Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell couldn't get American audiences interested in this Western.
Directed by Les Mayfield, American Outlaws stars Colin Farrell, Scott Caan, Ali Larter and Timothy Dalton.
Universal's Jurassic Park III, which roared into theaters with a whopping $50.8 million, slipped three notches in its fourth week to No. 9. The PG-13 adventure fantasy raked in a mere $4.3 million (-43%) at 2,516 theaters (-659). Averaging $1,709 per theater, its cume is $168.2 million.
Jurassic Park III is directed by Joe Johnston and stars Sam Neill, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni, Alessandro Nivola, Trevor Morgan, Michael Jeter, John Diehl and Bruce A. Young.
No. 10 went to MGM's PG-13-rated Legally Blonde with a reasonable $2.57 million in its fifth week at the box office. Playing at 1,770 theaters, it averaged $1,454 per theater. So far, the comedy has accumulated $83.3 million domestically.
Directed by Robert Luketic, Legally Blonde stars Reese Witherspoon, Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Matthew Davis, Victor Garber and Jennifer Coolidge.
In total, the top 10 films this weekend grossed about $98.9 million.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello - Thank you for contacting JustAnswer. My name is Michael; I look forward to helping you with your criminal problem today.
I see you posted "withdraw a guilty plea". Could you explain the situation a little more and clarify what your question is?
I have been charged by the 1st DUI on the 15th october after accepted a guilty plea
Thanks for that information. How long ago did you plea? Have you already been sentenced?
and I believe I am innocnet, the lawyer asked to delay the trial to november, he wasnt ready, and the judge rejected his request and immediately he got me into the guilty plea without me understanding what was it about
am immigrant who doesnt know that much about the const rights, nor the guilty plea
Did you see my question?
How long ago did you plea? Have you already been sentenced?
what do you mean by sentence?
it was on 15th
before the judge
After you plead guilty, a Judge gives you your sentence. Your punishment for the crime.
i did sign all the paper work
i thaught i will be able to appeal
i just knew that it wont be allowed
Thank you. Unfortunately, you probably can't withdraw your plea. Once you have been explained the process and signed the paperwork, you are deemed to have entered the plea knowingly and voluntarily and its very hard to get out of it.
do you mean there is no any chance to withdraw it?
You can hire an attorney who can make a motion to the Judge for a withdrawal of the plea. He would have to allege that you didn't understand what was going on. Then, the Judge will make a decision. If the Judge explained the process to you in court and you signed away your rights, you will most likely lose.
So, no, there is not much of a chance at success.
I'm sorry.
does it make difference before i return the paperwork signed?
That may help some, but you still entered your plea in court and the Judge accepted it.
You would still have to hire a good attorney to make an argument that you did not understand.
should be accepted 1st and then the hearing?
If I can answer anything further, let me know. Remember, I'm here to help and your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you don't have any questions and you valued my time, I'd ask you to consider rating me positively. Take care,Michael
I don't understand what you're asking
Could you clarify it?
u said filing the motion, and then the judge should accept the argument
should he/she accept the motion 1st?
and then to set appointment for the hearing?
The motion is filed, and then there is a hearing set for your lawyer to argue the motion.
At the hearing the Judge accepts the motion or denies it.
ok, should i be available for this hearing?
i mean physically
Yes, you would have to be there for the hearing.
thank you
No problem!
I wish you the best of luck.
if i have a permission from the Probation case manager to leave the country, will I still have problems at the entery port when I come back, after paying all the fees
am a green card holder
Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to answer border issue questions.
no problem
i granted u 5 stars Mr. Micheal J
I appreciate it!
Don't forget to rate me!

I'm pretty easy-come-easy-go about the whole thing.
I don't write my name and number on discs because it just seems like the risk of some weirdo getting calling me isn't worth the $10 a disc costs me. But if you find my disc in the water or in the woods, hey-- it's yours. I've played a couple rounds with people who I'm pretty sure were throwing an old disc of mine but I couldn't prove it. And I didn't really care.
If you leave a disc someplace obvious (middle of the fairway, teebox, in a basket) I'll leave it where I found it because you'll probably come back in fifteen minutes and get it and you probably know just where you left it. If you leave a number, I'll call you and I don't want a reward.
No name and no number, it's mine. Actually probably not mine, but it goes to whoever I'm playing with that will use it the most. At least you know someone is getting a lot of enjoyment out of your disc, and it's living a full, happy life in the hands of its new owner.

Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham says she feels "like a good mom" after waxing her 3-year-old daughter Sophia's eyebrows.
The 20-year-old reality star, who recently underwent multiple cosmetic surgeries, blogged about her latest parenting dilemma, writing, "So here I am faced with a standout historical moment in motherhood when I can confirm to myself that my little, adorable, most cuddle-able cutie, baby girl has a Unibrow 🙁 , I felt bad for her, and I started asking friends … is this hair just going to fall out … is it just hormones at this age?, well the hair didn't go away and others started saying it was here to stay."
Explaining that she "felt bad" for her daughter, Farrah took matters into her own hands. After an ill-fated attempt at waxing, the reality star mom ended up plucking her preschooler's brows into perfect form – while she slept!
What was Sophia's reaction to the surprising makeover?
"The next morning I showed her and told her how well she did and she didn't even know. She was more intrigued now to be ok with upkeeping her non-unibrow. I could tell she was proud."
What do you think of Farrah's latest revelation?

Where are you right now?
Home in New York City.
There seems to be a lot of struggle in the themes you chose to focus on with your new album. Was this disc a love letter to New York City while at the same time a reflection of it?
Yes, I suppose it is a tribute, especially "New York is A Woman."
Speaking of love letters, I read a recent interview in which you advised no one to throw away old love letters. This was in regards to your recent marriage to a man who proposed to you two decades ago. Without getting too personal, what made you finally say yes?
I suddenly realized that all the obstacles that had kept us apart (and there were many) had finally disappeared one by one over the years. And I knew if he asked again that I would say yes.
A lot has changed in the music industry in the six years since you released your last album. How are those changes reflected throughout the album stylistically?
They are reflected in the production since I did some of it myself with Garageband, which is software that anyone can create music with.
Name some musicians/bands/albums you can't stop listening to right now.
Nelly Furtado, Amy Winehouse, Sufjan Stevens, some Laura Veirs. This guy from England called DJ Fresh has a song called "Nervous" that I really like.
When I was just a little older than your teenage daughter, the "Tom's Diner" remix was huge. What does your teenage daughter think of your music, past and present?
She likes it. She used to like the "Queen and the Soldier" but now she likes "Ludlow Street." She likes pop, R & B, hip-hop, and indie rock, nothing too melancholy.

I agree that this route is a bit of a squeeze, but being that it roughly doubles the climbing capacity of this very popular wall I think it's a good addition.
Even so, expect there to be a queue for it on busy days.

|The second pitch as you work your way right from Five Gallon. For 5.9 it may feel a bit techy for beginners, and in the sun the holds tend to really sweat so bring your super chalk on hot days. But a nice addition and one more pitch to throw in the mix on the hueco wall.
