Authors: Diego Marin (Ph.D.)
A new unifying theory was recently proposed in the publication "Arrangement field theory - beyond strings and loop gravity -". Such theory describes all fields (gravitational, gauge and matter fields) as entries in a matricial superfield which transforms in the adjoint representation of Sp(12,C). In this paper we show how this superfield is built and we introduce a new mechanism of symmetry breaking which doesn't need Higgs bosons.

EGG HARBOR CITY - A gunshot wound, not blunt-force trauma, killed a mother of two who was found dead behind her apartment complex over the weekend, authorities said Monday, as police searched for her killer.
The body of 29-year-old Deanna Downs, a resident of the Harbor City Apartments, was discovered by a neighbor who was walking to his mailbox, Atlantic County Prosecutor Ted Housel said Monday evening. The Prosecutor's Major Crimes Unit responded shortly after midnight Sunday.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, and investigators initially believed she had been shot to death.
After a preliminary autopsy performed Sunday, the county medical examiner suspected that Downs had died of blunt-force trauma, but authorities were reluctant to classify Downs' death as a homicide.
But following an in-depth examination Monday by the medical examiner's office, authorities said the cause of death was a gunshot wound.
"The further forensic examination causes me to conclude that this was a shooting homicide," Housel said.
Friends and family of Deanna Downs remembered her as "a beautiful person" Monday.
"I don't understand who would want her dead. Especially like that," said her stepmother Jackie Johnson, of Egg Harbor Township.
The day after her death, friends and family gathered at her Egg Harbor City apartment, still stunned by how the woman they cared for met such a sudden, violent death.
Downs left behind two sons, Kyle, 8 and Keith, 10, said her sister Krystal Hoffman, 21, of Egg Harbor Township. She also had three brothers, Hoffman said.
"Everybody loved Deanna around here," said Johnson, 41. She said Downs, who lived for years in Egg Harbor City, was very friendly and very outgoing. She knew her neighbors and regularly talked with them, Johnson said, and was not afraid of expressing her opinion.
Keith Garcia, Downs' former boyfriend and the father of her children, said Downs was a good person. Their relationship didn't work out, said Garcia, 29, of Galloway Township, but they remained on good terms for their children even as they both started dating other people.
Lesley Young-Kell, a friend who hadn't seen Downs in several years, remembered the victim as "a very sweet girl, quiet and always smiling."
Downs was friendly to everyone she encountered, but mostly stayed to herself, Young-Kell said. But she and Downs did share some good laughs in their younger days, Young-Kell said.
"I don't understand how anyone would want to hurt her," she said.
Friends and family of Downs held an impromptu candlelight vigil on Sunday night outside the Harbor City Apartments on Atlantic Avenue in Egg Harbor City, Hoffman said. She said the turnout was a tribute to how much Downs was loved.
"It was crazy," Hoffman said. "There were so many people here."
A resident in the apartment complex found Downs as he walked to the mailbox behind buildings J and K, and the Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit responded at 12:14 a.m.
The office said Downs lived in the G building.
"You look at everybody and think..." Johnson said.
"Did you kill my sister?" Hoffman said, finishing Johnson's sentence.
"Somebody had to have seen something," Johnson said.
Anyone with information on Downs' death can call the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office at 609-909-7800, or Crime Stoppers at 609-652-1234 or 800-658-8477. Tipsters also can provide information online at www.acpo.org/tips.html or www.crimestoppersatlantic.com

(UPDATE: Check out the full Big Brother recap here.) It was an exciting week in Big Brother land. Lines were drawn in the house, creating various intriguing (and occasionally overlapping) factions. Aaryn's Army of uber-hot, arguably soulless people. Aaryn was being puppetmastered by Jeremy, the most vocal member of the Moving Company. Elissa and Helen formed the Mom Squad from the block. Candice was fomenting a female revolution against the all-male shadow conspiracy. It looked bad for Elissa, the player with the biggest target on her back since Day One. In the end [SPOILER] Nick was sent packing. Helen and Elissa rose an impressive array of anti-Nick voters, including Candice, Amanda, and Judd. But in a shocking turn of events, Nick's Moving Company allies McCrae and Spencer also turned on him.
The episode also featured Aaryn responding to charges of racism by making a farting noise, and McCrae faltering in his devotion to the Moving Company. My recap will be up in a few hours. In the meantime, start talking/arguing/freaking out!

The January 5 crash of a Bombardier Challenger 601-3R during the crew's second attempted landing at Aspen Pitkin County Airport (ASE) has prompted pilots to question both their own limitations and the difficulties involved in landing at the Denver resort. Even under visual conditions, mountains that rise 5,000 to 6,000 feet above field elevation make Aspen a one-way-in, one-way-out airport: land on Runway 15 and depart from Runway 33.
AIN asked some pilots who regularly operate there to share their wisdom, on condition of anonymity. "One clear day I asked the tower if I could circle to 33 [in a Challenger] just to see what it was like," one pilot said. "It was scary. Steep banking at high altitude introduces the potential for an accelerated stall, for one thing. It's a risky maneuver under the best conditions in a high-performance jet."
The lowest landing minimums at ASE are available only to pilots who complete special FAA-training. Landing gear and flaps must be extended before the final approach fix at Aspen if the airplane is to get down in time and still be slow enough for touchdown. The final approach slope is slightly less than seven degrees, about equal to that for the UK's London City Airport.
One operator said he does not care about approach minimums. "If we don't see the runway by the DOYPE {{SMALL CAPS}} fix [5.5 nm from the end of the runway], we execute a missed approach."
Another pilot said frontal passages create turbulence across the mountains so severe at times that an approach is not even possible. "The tailwind issues at Aspen are a very important consideration," said another pilot.
Between October and February, northwesterly winds can often exceed the tailwind limitation for many aircraft. On January 5, the wind was as strong as 28 knots from the northwest just before the ill-fated Challenger's landing. All the operators AIN spoke to have a policy that prohibits them from conducting night operations at Aspen.

I flew into Aspen regularly for 26 years, many, many weekends every year, starting before they had an approach and would clear you to SKIER intersection at 16,000 feet to hold. Through all these years, we were operating Lear 24D's, Lear 35's, Lear 36's and Falcon 20's, both Model C andD. The only game in town was to descend to 16,000 and when you arrived over SKIER, you either had a good visual on the airport or you started holding and requested clearance to your alternate.
Years later when the VOR approach to RW 15 was commissioned, we flew it religiously. The minimums were not based on how low you could go without hitting rocks, they were based on how low you could go, lose an engine and climb out safely.
The approach was unique, because unlike most VOR approaches, you had better be configured to land when you crossed the VOR, then fly Ref plus 10 to minimums. If you were Ref plus 20 and broke out right at minimums, you were not going to get on the runway where you should. Throw in a legal tailwind, plus ice and snow on the runway and you were set up for disaster.
On a training flight into Aspen one weekend, I put a high time, skilled captain, in the left seat for his first flight into Aspen with weather. I explained to him, since the weather was right at minimums we should be fully configured and Ref plus 10 crossing The VOR. He grinned and commented, "I have probably flown with you on over one hundred VOR approaches and I have never seen you slow up to Ref plus 10 this far out." I said, "Just do it this time for me, I'll explain later." As it turned out, I didn't have to explain later. They were right on minimums, and I was seconds away from calling a missed approach when I got the runway? I called "runway twelve o'clock." The captain answered, "Going visual." He went off the gauges and looked up out in front of the windscreen, straight ahead and said, " Where's the runway." I leaned forward and with my index finger pointed down and said "Right there." He commented, "Oh shit! now I know what you were trying to tell me." And yes, we did land, he was a talented aviator.
I have landed on RW 33 numerous times, but never with low ceilings or low visibility, only during VFR conditions with high winds.
We never had a problem, but we respected the fact Aspen was not your average airport.

THE owner of a Cotswold pub has been chosen to represent the south west in the BBC Two programme, Great British Menu.
Emily Watkins, who runs the Kingham Plough, near Chipping Norton, will be fighting it out against chefs Dominic Chapman and Josh Eggleton in her category for the chance to cook at a huge banquet marking the 70th anniversary of D Day.
But to reach the banquet, which will be held in St Paul's Cathedral, in London, for guests including those who fought on June 6, 1944 as well as others who served on both the frontline and the home front, three chefs each week must first impress a veteran chef of the competition.
The top two will be put through to the Friday regional final and prepare their menus again for the regular judges Prue Leith, Matthew Fort and Oliver Peyton along with a special guest judge.
Mrs Watkins, who got through to the judge's chamber stage in the Comic Relief-themed competition last year, said she was keen to show them what she could do this time around.
"It's really exciting," she said. "I loved the brief. It's a great thing to be doing to honour them. It's totally all consuming but amazing to be invited to take part in it."
This year the chefs have to produce 21st century dishes which evoke the wartime spirit of the generation who fought for the country as well as honour the bravery shown throughout the Second World War.
The 34-year-old's, whose menu is a culinary journey through the war with a bit of French influence, was inspired after talking to people in the village of the war generation including John Cooper, who was 12 when the Second World War broke out.
"What I wanted to focus on was how they were so resourceful and the way they lived off the land," she said. "John Cooper was left to provide for his family and his mum was working in the munitions factory in the village. As a young lad he would finish at school and go to the allotments. He was really quite inspiring."
Great British Menu: The D Day Banquet starts on Monday, April 7 at 7.30pm and will run every weekday for nine weeks. Emily Watkin's week of programmes will air on Monday, April 21.

A tribute:
Sunday Observer - May 27 2007:
He was known to be a Buddhist leader, philanthropist, a gentleman politician. Best described as multi-faceted, he was the first served in the cabinets of D. S. Senanayake and Dudley Senanayake, the first Leader of the Senate, a founding father of the Colombo Plan, one of six signatories to the historic document of the National Flag Committee Report, an Ambassador to France in 1965 and a High Commissioner to the U.K. in 1967.
This was the late Sir Lalita Rajapakse who passed away on May 26 1976. It is my privilege to write this tribute as a grateful client for whom he appeared free-of-charge, as an eminent and distinguished Appeal Court Lawyer in his heyday.
Born at Herambe Walauwwa, Balapitiya, he founded Revata Vidyalaya, now Revata National School over seventy years ago when he was only 33 years old. He also donated land in Okadawatte where the first Teachers Training College in Balapitiya was established.Venerable Migettuwatte Gunananda Thera whose fame for oratory in the "Panadura-Vaadaya" (a famous debate in support of Buddhism) hailed from Migettuwatte, in Balapitiya.
The monk's statue stands prominently in Panadura as a mark of respect and admiration by the people of the area. Sir Lalita felt the need to erect another statue at his birthplace, out of loyalty to the people of Balapitiya. Public funds enhanced Sir Lalita's own munificence and this second statue of the Venerable bhikku stands proud on the Galle Road frontage of Migettuwatte.
As a founding father of the Colombo Plan, I wish to elaborate, A co-sponsor of the Colombo Plan, Sir - Percy Spender, Q.C, the distinguished Minister of External Affairs in the Robert Menezies government of Australia and later President of the International Court of Justice wrote a book called Exercises in Diplomacy.
Page 202 of this book refers to sir Lalita Rajapakse as follows. I quote: "Heading the Ceylon delegation was Senator Dr. L. A. Rajapakse, K. C. Minister of Justice, an able and delightful man whose eloquence was matched only by his faultless English diction - a matter of surprise to at least one member of my delegation who could not reconcile himself to the idea that an Asian could excel him in his own language." What a tribute!
Rajapakse began his education at Ananda College and later was at St. Joseph's College. He entered London University in 1920 and obtained the degree of Doctor of Laws in 1925, thus becoming the first Ceylonese and probably the youngest.
In the 60's when he was Ceylon's High Commissioner in the U.K. this distinguished alumnus of London University was conferred the rare honour of being made a fellow of the University and his portrait hangs in the "Hall of Fame" of this great seat of learning. In 1944 he was conferred Silk-king's Counsel, and later Q.C.
After serving two cabinets as Minister of Justice he reverted to the Bar in 1953 or so, and was known as one of the leading Appeal Court lawyers. At. 60, he decided to give up a lucrative practice, and being a practising Buddhist he served three years as the President of the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress, from 1960 - 1963.
In this Presidential address at the Ratnapura sessions he asserted that "If a person became a public man or a leader of society, his life both public and private must be free from moral blame.
It is entirely incorrect to say of a public man that his private life is his own. it is wrong to think that as long as he is a saint in public life he may be a villain in private life." (43rd annual sessions at Ratnapura)
As a buddhist leader he gave counsel to both Vidoydaya and Vidyalankara chief monks, as he was a member of both their governing bodies. The Board always valued Sir Lalita's view point.
On February 4th, the newspapers print facts of our National Flag. The late Mudaliyar Sinhalebbe of Batticoloa rose in Parliament on January 16, 1948 and moved that the Royal Standard of our last king which was removed to England after the Convention of 1815 be once again adopted as the official flag of free Lanka.
Our first Prime Minister D. S. Senanayake on March 6, 1948 appointed a seven member Flag Committee and Dr. L. A. Rajapakse (later Sir Lalita) was one such. S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike, J. R. Jayawardene Sir John Kotalawela T. B. Jayah, G. G. Ponnambalam and S. Nadesan were the others.
These appointees were to advise the prime minister. After several sittings, with the exception of Senator Nadesan, all the other members signed the Report. On Page 22 of the book on the National Flag and the National Anthem by Mervyn Herath you can see the signatures of the National Flag Committee members.
On the 31st death anniversary of this multi-faceted personality I conclude, wishing sir Lalita Rajapakse the Bliss of Nibbana!

Facing a Friday afternoon deadline to sign with the Baltimore Orioles or return to LSU for his junior season, Tigers ace Kevin Gausman signed a pro contract that will pay him a bonus of $4.32 million.
Gausman was the fourth selection in the Major League draft in June. He was 12-2 with a 2.77 ERA last season as LSU advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals. He struck out 135 batters in 122 2/3 innings.
"Happy to be the newest member of the Baltimore Orioles organization! Living my dream!!" Gausman tweeted Friday afternoon.
"I'm so proud of Kevin, and he's earned everything that's coming his way," LSU Coach Paul Mainieri said. "He developed so much both as a pitcher and as a young man during his time here, and I know the Orioles will benefit tremendously from having Kevin in their organization. I think it says a lot about our program that a young man of Kevin's ability came to LSU and grew both professionally and personally in very significant ways."
The first signing period under baseball's new draft restrictions ended with pitcher Mark Appel spurning Pittsburgh to remain at Stanford, and with 10 teams exceeding their bonus pools but none by enough to forfeit future selections.
Appel was the only unsigned player among 31 first-round picks. He turned down an offer of $3.8 million from the Pirates. Appel was projected by some to be the No. 1 selection last month, but several teams shied away from the right-hander because of the expected demands of his adviser, Scott Boras. Appel was selected eighth.
That slot was assigned $2.9 million from the drafting team's bonus pool in baseball's new labor contract, which imposes penalties on clubs that exceed their threshold -- the total of the slots for a team's selections in the first 10 rounds. The first pick was slotted for $7.2 million and Houston chose shortstop Carlos Correa, who signed for $4.8 million.
Pittsburgh was prepared to go as much as 5 percent above its threshold and incur the first level of penalty, a 75 percent tax on the overage. But the Pirates didn't want to fall into higher levels, which include the loss of future draft picks.
"After much thought, prayer and analysis of both opportunities, I came to the conclusion the best decision is to remain at Stanford continuing my studies, finishing my degree and doing all I can to assist the Cardinal baseball team in our goal to win a national championship," Appel said in a statement. "I greatly valued the prospect of a professional opportunity, and I will pursue a professional baseball career after getting my Stanford degree."
Every team that went over stayed within 5 percent of its threshold, according to calculations by Major League Baseball: Boston, the Chicago Cubs, Houston, Kansas City, the Los Angeles Dodgers, St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto and Washington. A team going over by more than 5 percent but less than 10 percent would face a 100 percent tax on the overage and the loss of their next first-round draft pick.
Gausman joined four other first-round picks in reaching agreement on the final day -- Oklahoma State left-hander Andrew Heaney with Miami ($2.6 million for ninth), high school right-hander Lucas Giolito with Washington ($2,925,000 for 16th), Clemson third baseman Richie Shaffer, with Tampa Bay ($1.71 million for 25th) and high school right-hander Ty Hensley with the Yankees ($1.2 million for 30th).


text: wrt t-mobile 1900 Ghz markets I found this document: Network Evolution | Support Which lists the Tampa, Orlando and Providence RI markets as modernized with 1900 support. Those are the primary markets I where I will use the phone. I also found this document which lists the current LTE markets: 4G LTE Coverage | Support Which is VERY small. So, I would probably be fine with not having the 1700/2100 supported phone. However, at this point I am highly thinking of just switching to the Nexus 4. I like the idea of stock android and the plethora of ROMs... (and at $349 vs $570) also there is a known hack to turn the non-certified LTE radio on. Also, it has the 1700 so would support the nationwide HSPA+ 42 of tmo which I have read can be as fast or even better than LTE in some places. Argh... decisions/decisions. Has anyone compared the Nexus 4 to the HTC One side by side... the specs seem highly similar. Or is this the wrong thread to ask that? BOb

But where is the fun in that?
Judging by what I've seen in the Movies. I'd say the Armour is cast in Metal then coated by a White Ceramic Enamel to give it enviromental resistant properties. You can see in the pics below of Gree and Cody that where the Armor is heavily damaged the Metalic Coloration of the Armor shows through as seen in Cody's Chest Plate Scar and you can see the White Enamel where the Paint is Chipped on Gree's Shoulder PadsJust my 2cents worth,
I read somewhere the George Lucas Put the Fin on the Clone Armor so it would looked like it was made of metal? The article epxlained that the Clones actually wore metal Armor that was later replace by the Plastisteel worn by Stormtroopers. If I can remeber where I read that I'll let you know. I've read so many things about Clones and Stormtroopers it's hard to remeber what was from what.You know what I mean?

RAPPER Drake has posted pictures of his new ripped body and his potentially new celebrity girlfriend.
The star has been on a social media blitz of late, first posting the results from his new gym routine which is clearly paying off for the 27-year-old.
"Tour workouts with @ovojonnyroxx. Always a good feeling to see progress," he wrote.
Then the All Me singer posted a photo on Twitter of his tour bus which showed him hanging out with Zoe Kravitz.
Kravitz is the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and The Cosby Show's Lisa Bonet. She is also the goddaughter of actress Marissa Tomei, who used to date her father.
Kravitz is an actress having worked in X-Men: First Class and will be seen in the upcoming movie Mad Max: Fury Road.
Kravitz, 24, has already had a number of high profile boyfriends including Shame's Michael Fassbender and Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley.
Drake has known Kravitz for years, gushing in 2011 to Fader TV that, "Zoe Kravitz is like one of my favourite people in the world."
The news of a possible romance between Drake and Kravitz comes as a surprise, since rumours were circulating that he and Rihanna were back on.
Drake and RIRI met up at a Houston strip club where they partied until 5am.
Drake also showed up at Rihanna's rescheduled stop on her Diamonds World Tour, after which he reportedly took her out to dinner, and then the Barbados beauty returned the favor in Houston.

Maintain Peak Fitness With These 5 Tips
Physical and mental fitness are important for maintaining an elite level of strength, endurance and stamina. Training harder and longer takes a lot of dedication, but it is entirely possible with these five tips to maintain peak fitness:
Eat Clean
Clean eating means that you eat as foods that are processed minimally. Whole fruit over packaged fruit. Real potatoes over instant potatoes. Brown rice instead of white rice. Packaged foods are not entirely off limits, but they should have little to no salt and no added sugars. Eating clean will give you lasting energy and a healthy body.
Do Yoga
The best athletes in the world do yoga. It clears the mind. It relaxes your body. It strengthens your body. It also provides mental benefits. When you do yoga, you will feel better about yourself and the goals you want to make happen. Yoga will keep you on track to maintaining peak fitness.
Rest When Needed
While besthgh can help you get high-energy levels, you still need to rest despite that energy. Recovery is important. If your muscles have no time to recover, then you will suffer greatly in your fitness gains. Your muscles will weaken under the extreme pressure. You could even get an injury that halts your fitness progress completely.
Change Your Routine Often
Your body adapts to training. Switching up the routine every few weeks will keep your body from plateauing. You will continue to see gains in your fitness as long as you do this. If you do stall for a long period of time, consider hiring a trainer to help you move past the plateau.
Cross Train
Cross training is incorporating multiple activities into your routine. Doing the same things consistently does not improve your overall fitness. An athlete that participates in multiple activities will perform better in everything. If you want to do martial arts, then also incorporate running and balance exercises. Your routine should be a wide variety of lateral and standard movements for the best results. Incorporating balance is never a bad idea. Good balance will serve you will in a wide range of sports and fitness activities.
Maintaining peak fitness will take consistency and dedication. The good news is that your body will remember its strength if you suddenly quit. Continuously make new goals in order to stay on top of your game, and you will be amazed at how far you can go.

Georgia offensive tackle Daniel Inman, foreground, works on the sled with some of his teammates. Even though the members of the offensive line may be inexperienced, they can make up for it by playing as a cohesive unit.
Jeff Blake/Staff There are plenty of concerns about Georgia's offensive line heading into the 2003 season.
Unity isn't one of them.
"They seem to really get along well together off the field, and that is important, so I think all of that is going to be fine," offensive line coach Neil Callaway said.
That camaraderie, the oft-mentioned process of "jelling," isn't a media and fan creation, center Russ Tanner said. Instead, it's a critical element of success, particularly for a unit that comes into the season as unproven as this one.
"It's not made up," Tanner said. "There are things we need to do in sync. I have to know what my guards are going to do, they have to know what there tackles are going to do and vice versa."
Sticking together hasn't been a problem so far. In fact, the core of Georgia's line is rarely apart, several members say.

The Bulldogs' projected starters, Tanner, tackles Max Jean-Gilles and Daniel Inman and guards Josh Brock and Bartley Miller, plus third tackle Dennis Roland spent a lot of their summer free time in Athens together, mainly playing video games, Inman said.
"It's not hard to find something to do with these guys," he said. "In high school, I thought I had a good relationship with my offensive line, but it was nothing like this. We are brothers among brothers.
"We're like a big family."
Jean-Gilles, Inman, Brock and Miller came to Georgia in the same signing class two years ago, and Tanner and Roland are one year older. The proximity in age has made it easier for the group to bond and for them to connect with the seven freshmen linemen, some of whom will play a vital role this year.
"They're the best friends people could have. They'd do anything for you," Inman said. "I guess everything we do revolves around each other, and it carries over onto the field."
The meals and the afternoons together are key to the kind of shared thought process it takes to have a good offensive line, Tanner said. It also makes it easier to battle through the dreary days of preseason practice and the tough times in the trenches.
"The more you like somebody, the more likely you are to (watch) their back on the field," Tanner said.

Coach Tom Saxton | Lauren Hill
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State women's soccer team (4-0-1) remained unbeaten on the season with a 2-0 shutout of Illinois State (1-3-1) this afternoon at DeMartin Stadium. Senior Lauren Hill posted both goals in the win to improve her team-leading total to seven.
"Credit to our team today," said MSU head coach Tom Saxton. "I think Illinois State and coach Drew Roff had very good tactics coming in. With the marking of Laura Heyboer and the low pressure they played on us, it made things tough."
The Spartan pressured the Redbirds, in the first meeting between the two schools, early in the contest. In the 14th minute, Lauren Sinacola set up Hill with a lead pass inside the penalty area but Illinois State goalkeeper Sasha Reiber came out to challenge Hill's shot and made the save.
The Spartans got the game's first goal in the 22nd minute when Jordan Mueller and Cara Freeman set up Lauren Hill for her sixth of the season. Freeman took a pass just past midfield and sent the ball into the penalty area where Hill collected the ball and beat Reiber from 10 yards out.
"Credit to Cara for just getting it down the line and beating three players before she got the pass off to me," Hill said. "Her hard work got us that goal."
Mueller nearly made it a 2-0 game when her shot from 30 yards out hit the crossbar and bounced high in the 33rd minute.
In the second half, Hill gave the Spartans some breathing room in the 63rd minute with her second goal of the game. Heyboer sent the ball from the left side to Hill, who got past the Redbird defense and beat Reiber with a shot to the lower right side.
"That was a very important goal because I think we were starting to get a little bit frustrated," said Saxton.
Spartan goalkeeper Jill Flietstra made two saves for her third shutout of the season. MSU has yet to allow a goal in four games at DeMartin Stadium this season, and extended its scoreless streak to 421:04 minutes, dating back to last season, on its home turf.
"Today was good, well-earned shutout for Jill and our team," Saxton said.
The Spartans will return to action on Tuesday (Sept. 15) when they host Detroit at 4 p.m.

Have Military Law Questions? Ask a Military Lawyer.
Hello,Thank you for the information and your question. Yes, you can contact the Command Investigations Office, or the Commanding Officer, of the person you want to report. However, you need to keep in mind that if they are both in the military, then they are both violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice by committing adultery and perhaps fraternization, depending on their ranks. So, they can both be punished by their Commands.Please let me know if you need any clarification. I would be glad to assist you further if I can.
Does this apply to reservist as well?

Dawn Hamilton taking a chemical readout on rock samples in the chemical lab for the Iron Ore Company of Canada. Minerals processing operator is one of four occupations for which National Occupational Standards have been developed through the CMCP | Courtesy of MiHR
Over the past six years, MiHR has been coordinating a collaborative effort by mining sector employers, employees, educators and other stakeholders to
develop a program that will recognize the knowledge, skills and competencies of its mine operations maintenance workers. Unlike the trades, skilled workers in these occupations have never before been awarded an industry-recognized credential that supports mobility and retention within the mining workforce; the Canadian Mining Credentials Program (CMCP) has been developed
to address this challenge.
During 2010, seven mine sites across Canada participated in the Certification Pilot Program:
These pilot sites will be conducting 10 to 20 evaluations each and it is anticipated that a group of between 60 and 100 miners will become the first
nationally certified Underground Miners, Surface Miners and Minerals Processing Operators. A pan-Canadian rollout will commence in mid-2011, beginning with
a series of local events to recognize the first group of certified workers, and leading up to a national event, which will take place this coming May at
the CIM Conference & Exhibition 2011 in Montreal.
Of the approximately 100,000 workers needed by the end of this decade to support growth in the industry and to replace retiring workers, approximately 20
per cent will be required in skilled occupations that have, up until now, lacked a national recognition system (including production miners, development miners, heavy equipment operators and mill operators).
The certification program will be an essential component in increasing and retaining the valuable skills required to keep the mining industry sustainable.
Without a formal credentialing framework for these jobs, employers may struggle to evaluate the qualifications of experienced candidates and may end up
wasting time and resources retraining new hires in areas where they have already demonstrated competency in the workplace. Furthermore, employees with
skill sets that are not recognized by their industry can become frustrated and may seek opportunities elsewhere. A recent MiHR survey of mining industry
employers revealed that turnover in these occupations is almost twice as high as other mining sector jobs.
"As a national representative, I saw that the expertise and knowledge that miners had accumulated wasn't recognized," says Walter Manning, national representative, communications, Energy and Paper Workers. "I certainly heard from the shop floor that workers wanted recognition for their skills,
and the credentials program will do that."
The vision of the CMCP is to increase recognition of skills and competencies, support worker mobility and create consistent, quality training for the
mining and minerals exploration industry in Canada. The CMCP has three components: national occupational standards, certification and accreditation of
training. The strategy for the program is to build the systems for certification and training accreditation based on industry-defined standards. To date,
under the guidance of industry development committees, MiHR has developed four National Occupational Standards: Underground Hard Rock Miner, Surface Miner,
Minerals Processing Operator and Diamond Driller.
The National Occupational Standards and related essential skills profiles can also provide the basis for the development of new training programs. For
example, the Assembly of First Nations and MiHR are developing "Mining Essentials: A Work Readiness Training Program for Aboriginal Peoples." This
pre-employment mining training program is a potential entry point to MiHR's CMCP, with a curriculum based on industry standards.
It can take anywhere from two to five years to train a skilled worker for the mining industry. Now is not the time to take our foot off the gas when it
comes to investment in workforce development. The establishment of recognized National Occupation Standards and a certification program will have a
significant and long-lasting effect on our sector.
For more information, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.miningcredentials.ca.
Barbara Kirby is MiHR's senior director, workforce development. She is responsible for overseeing the Council's skills, learning and mobility initiatives, including the Canadian Mining Credentials program.

There are some high quality routes here, but my favorite part of this area is the bouldering on top of the wall.
Above the east face, look for an overhanging lip traverse requiring heel hooks and monkey moves. Right next to it is a tall golden face with reachy crimp moves. Over on the western side of the summit are some more problems, overhangs and traverses.
A good way to finish off your day!

if you are a trad leader, (ie proper climber) avoid weekends!
I was shocked by the volume of top-ropers on all the classics, punching above their weight, replete with "granite planet" gym tags.
When i finally found "Monkey Paws" was free, (as this was apparently the warm up TR for your Star Wall TR project) i felt like i was indeed at the gym. All the holds polished and caked with chalk... Shame really, must have been awesome 20yrs ago.
A good argument for not having bolted anchors on trad lines.

NO THEY WON'T! The n00bs at the Help boards sit there and wait for unsuspecting newbies to ask an innocent question and then the attack you like a swarm of bees yelling "Oh mi geee uR LYK t0talLY rEp0rtED!!!!11!!!111!" and then TNT says they check each report thoroughly, but in reality they see if enough people report the matter and freeze them and when they ask for their account back they say "Why don't you try asking the people on the Help boards. They will be more than happy to help." I CANT GO ON THE BOARDS YOU SONOFABITCH! YOU FROZE ME! They wouldnt even let me type the word "naughty" when I was quoting it from Harry Potter! They care too much about their sponsors to even begin to think about what is best for their users. They say, "No profanity allowed.", but the faeries practically work for Playboy showing all their cleavage! Have some dignity! They won't let you say "I believe in Christ". But they will let you say "Wiccans will rule the earth and kill you!". Come on! Neopets! What happened to it? Where did they go wrong???
Me: How about no! You cant make me give you my money!

Point 1: Overcommercialization.
We've got Neopets happymeals, Neopets plushies, Neopets keychains, Neopets stickets, etc. What happened to "We don't want to make money, we just break even using the advertising!"
Point 2: Sponsor Games
99% of the NEW games on the site are sponsor games. Most are the same as other games, and are very, very simple, but the characters or the background are changed. These games are the opposite of inventive.
Point 3: Wars
Wars on Neopets are very boring. You sit around and attack the same enemy a billion times and then you (might) be able to get a bigger one to fight!It's like in Pokemon where you have almost beat the game, except the developers have messed up and given you Level 2 Rattata to fight, rather than Level 70 Gravelers.
Point 4: Message Boards
Greedy Adam and Donna. A while ago, there was a message board called General Chat, where all the media driven "get a girlfriend cause you should!" 7 year olds posted OMFFIGLJG 15/M/ALASKA WILL U BE MEH GIRLFRIENDSZ!?!/ Instead of hiring new monitors, they froze accounts of people that didn't do anything, and destroyed the GC, making the aforementioned people go to other boards where WE had to handle them.

1: Shameless Advertising.
They have 3 advertisements on almost every page.
One on the top, one on the bottem, and one on the side. Advertising things like online dating services, weight loss programs, and phone companies. Plus they have countless sponser games. And even make sponser items (bubble yum, sweet tarts, etc.)
2: Neo Staff favoring certin users.
Let's face it, there's only a handful of people TNT (theneopetsteam) actually give a shit about.
Featheralley, Hrobi, Garret_jaxx (sp?), Hubrids_mansion, Jazz_invinceable , and a coupple others. Thease people will not be iced no matter how many rules they brake.
3: Message boards.
The message board used to be cool... like four years ago. Now they suck. Neopets changed the format to look more professional... and screwed everything up. Completely deleteing the GC (general chat), which used to be cool. Before n00bs took over.
4: Glitches and bugs.
Neopets has countless glitches and bug which they will never fix. I myself have lost well over 15 million in items and np's (example: I lost a SOS while taking it off my pet. Plus I've lost large sums of neopoints countless times while trying to put them into the bank.) And neopets never refunds anything you lost during a glitch... unless you're featheralley of course...
5: Cheaters
Neopets is full of gay ass asain cheaters.
They've made it impossibble for anyone who dosn't cheat to get on a high score list for a game.
6: They're Hypocrits
They'll freeze your account if you post pictures of yourself in which you are slightly imosdestly dressed. And yet they have faeries with their boobs hanging out all over the site, wearing skirts that sure show alot-o-theigh.
They'll freeze you if you mention any achollolic bevrages, and yet they have them as items on their site! *points to a certin item called "red wine" and many other wines*
Noooo cussing. Or else they'll freeeezeee youuuu.
*points to the old maraqua vid with the pirate swearing.... aloso points to the faerie who swears* mmhmmm.
7: Scams
The site is full of people trying to scam other players. Pretty much the only reason guilds exist anymore is for people to host scams.
8: No origional games
Every fuckin game on that site is a ripoff of another game.
9: It's understaffed
They have far too few monitors for the amount of people who use the site.
10: Report Happy Users
People will report you for ANYTHING on that site. And I mean anything. And regardless to what neopets says, no, they DON'T actually check inot the situation. I've been faulsely reported and frozen countless times. If you mearly say something like "I don't like Good Charlotte, I prefer Dropkick Murphys." ... someone WILL report you, and if enough twits report for it, you WILL be frozen.
And those are the top ten reason why neopets sucks.
Though if you still like to play regardless of those reasons here's the top 10 tips on how NOT to get iced
1: Don't have anything on your user look-up
2: Don't talk to ANYONE
3: Don't be in a guild
4: Don't have a pet
5: Don't play any games
6: Don't share a computer with anyone or anything
7: Don't buy anything from any shop
8: Don't log on from ANY other computer
9: Don't leave for 3 years then log back into your account
10: Don't get anything from the money tree.
The End

A highly controversial online game.
As already evidenced by previous entries, opinions on Neopets tend to reflect past experiences. There are, of course, some who would immediately reject the game as a spawning-place for lifeless teenaged losers. Those people show up wherever you go, criticizing whatever you do - their opinions certainly don't need to have value in this case.
Speaking as an insider who's had both good and bad experiences with the site since I began playing in 2001, here are some interesting points:
-The Neoboards are terribly, terribly understaffed. As a result, TNT (theneopetsteam) has implemented a user-to-user monitoring system that, in retrospect, was bound to backfire horribly. Neopets needs to put more emphasis on the boards, seeing as how communication is so vital between members - I should know, having chosen a life of neo-isolation. An absolutely *massive* revamp of that system is required for the sake of the site's survival.
-Though some changes have been met with a huge amount of controversy, some have evidently sparked die-hard supporters. The restocking system, for instance, while admittedly giving the upper hand to those with more time and a faster internet connection, has become a very popular game to many of these fans. The wide variety of items and shops ensures constant interest.
-My own account was frozen after three years of playing - I had apparently been 'cheating' using several different accounts to gain Neopoints. Here's a shocker: it was true, and I'll admit it. I just never expected to get caught. My only experience with TNT's Ice-o-matic was justly deserved. But I know full well that such isn't always the case. Once again: you need more staff to handle all these new users you're drawing in with advertising!
Much as the most devoted players become obsessed with the idea of acquiring Neopoints, the Neopets staff, given the image of shiny new publicity for a pet project, has fallen into the river of commercialisation and we're all being pulled downstream...
What is horribly frustrating (and totally unforgiveable) is that the Neopets staff refuses to change anything dramatically to better suit the needs of the clients!

DeathToNeopets: You realize that out of the 80 million users, about 79,800,000 accounts were rendered inactive due to constant scamming, random freezings, and plain stupidity on part of the users to get themselves frozen?
SweetAznBabie69: But lik Neopets is lik sooooo cool cuz you can get boyfriends on the chat!
DeathToNeopets: Yeah Neopets is great for that if you like fat, unattractive, lifeless, 13-year old nerds who can't step out of their houses for one second.
SweetAznBabie69: I lik how Neopets updates the site with new stuff everyday!
DeathToNeopets: Yeah, I'm so excited about the new plushie they released that costs 9 million NP. Oh yeah, I think that new paint brush color they made looks awesome - what was it called again? Oh yeah, Crap.
SweetAznBabie69: I'm lik sooooo hyped for the new promotion their having at that store! I'm gonna get soooo much stuff from there and enter in all my rare item codes!
DeathToNeopets: They're holding the promotion in South Africa, and all the rare items are pieces of worthless crap that should be thrown at the Nazis that are the members of the Neopets Team.

First off, Neopets has many rules. Some keeps the site clean, while others tear it apart. One of the rules is do not discuss religion or political veiws on the site. Now if I'm not mistaken, a thing about communism was sensorship. Not only are you not allowed to talk religion/polotics, but certtain words posted can easily get you warned or iced. When you get warned it's by theneopetsteam (The sites secret police). The warning of course is an automatic thing which is corruted now, so you don't even need to say something wrong. You can get warned for posting "Hilary Duff looks like a Yurble".
Second, the site also freezes you if they talk bad about them or TNT (short for theneopetsteam). They have changed the site, making it almost equal for every user. Though sometimes it's not fair. Like when the staff got rid off glowing and shadow fonts. When they did that (Because others using different browses couldn't see) it upseted a lot of people, but a few days later, they have a new option that lets you disable fonts, making a user see normal black fonts. This isn't fair to those that had a nice font because the staff could have done that and keep the glow/shadow fonts.
Third, going back to TNT andunfair rules. Basicly TNT is the secret police of the site. You break a rule you get iced/warned, but there are loop holes in the site rules that people abuse (Like me) and then those who follow the rules and stuff were known to be iced. The term "iced" is what happens when your account is disabled. If you are iced, you can never be defrosted unless you are friends with the staff members. In fact, about 25% of iced accounts are people who done nothing wrong, but the automatic monitors (TNT) also uses loop holes and freeze you. This has been done so much that some people make new accounts and add on to the counter (The ammount of users on the site, frozen and active). More accounts filling the counter, the more the staff gets paid by sponsers. And the make the matter of using your time to on the site to pretty much give money to some lazy bastard, TNT has created a number of "hidden rules" these rules aren't shown in the Neorules, but are used as an excuse for giving out warnings or freezing people. A.so with the hidden rules and loops in the systems TNT will most likely give you a false warning (One time I got warned for "spamming" ,something I've never done) for giving advice or something like rating a picture (By the way, there is no rule against that).
And something everyone should know, reasons Neopets is similar to a communist nation. Most things on the site were made to make things equal. This includes:
Item codes: You buy an item and you not only haggle, but you must type in a code too
Avatars: Some avatars are easy for all to get, while others aren't
Pets: Everyone gets the equal maximum pets you can keep (Max: 4), but the owner has five
Items: Due to avatars, items are raised at a high price now, making only those who have played the site from the begining get them
So there you have it, the secret of Neopets (it may be confusing though)

After a school field trip to the New Hampshire State House this fall, two elementary students have begun a live lesson in civics. The boys want to make milk the state's official beverage.
According to a report in The Citizen of Laconia, a group of students already have contacted their local representatives to help make apple cider the state beverage, but fourth-graders Jeremy LaChance and his friend, Cole Winkelmann, believe milk should be chosen instead. "We don't drink apple cider more than milk," LaChance told the newspaper. "And we have been drinking milk from the whole time we've been at school."
The two have been in contact with dairy farmers in the state, as well as their state representatives. A vote on a bill naming the state beverage is expected in January.

By Ellis Verdi, president of the NYC advertising agency DeVito/Verdi
Here are the five lessons I learned from the J.C. Penney debacle — unfortunately we knew all of this before Ron took his ideas to market.
1. Advertising doesn't work quickly to change behavior. Even if educating consumers on fair pricing made sense, having people understand "fair pricing" could take many years, and I'm not sure consumers even care. Aside from the pure challenge of getting the word out through advertising and in-store, because of its inherent complexity, it still requires enormous levels of advertising and time.
2. Consumers need to remain in control of value. After all, we are asking them to part with their money. "Trust me this is a low price" doesn't work well unless they have years of successful experience with that store's pricing format. In fact this was a wholesale change and those consumers seeking a deal, did not know they were or were not getting one.
3. The money guys have a hard time with a strategy dependent on communications. Ron's idea requires a belief that consumers will see the wisdom of the change if they learn about it through advertising. Too many times the financial types don't have the tools to evaluate that and actually tend to believe it more than they should – witness the boom/bust of the .com era, when financial organizations put tons of money in advertising, often with little to no success. Inventory management, finance, sourcing, staffing etc are all more tangible, more-easily quantifiable.
4. Ron actually didn't have the right experience for Penney's. Not that a direct knowledge of this type of retailing is critical, but the vision he created can't be justified in any way based on his past experience. Neither Apple nor Target fits the bill. Most understand why Apple is less than relevant (high priced product that has a strong following, with good built in margins because it is manufactured by Apple versus buying from others etc…) but Target is also a different breed. Target's cool commercials have the luxury of not having to be accountable in the same way (they sell detergent and products we need — not just want), and its message is critical to Target only because they have to create a look and feel to differentiate from Walmart. This direction has nothing to do with a value/price message, nor does it have that hard-hitting quality that is needed to drive traffic. JC Penney advertising has more responsibility. Target creative work shows a unique look/feel; J.C. Penney needs a strong, substantive message as well as a look/feel.
5. Even the most innovative strategies have to reflect what we know about the customers. It was reported that many SKUs of best selling products were discontinued because of a vision to go slightly higher end or specialized. Essentially eliminating products that customers want, in order to bring the tore up a notch, is bound to cause a backlash. We have learned there is often not as much thought given to the collateral damage of simply "elevating a brand," as compared to successfully serving the masses.

If Fukushima had happened in North Korea, the MSM would be admitting what a lot of us already know: Fukushima is WORSE than Chernobyl. We haven't even finished the first chapter on this disaster yet. But since Japan isn't a COMMANIST enemy, the media throughout the "western" world remains silent.
Let's look at just one of the stories on the Fukushima Diary today.
I'm the owner of the farm in Namie machi, where still 300 cattle are.
I live in 14 km area from Fukushima plants. I heard the explosion twice.
I saw the splashing ash and smoke with my own eyes.
I couldn't abandon my cattle in the first week,.
On 3/17, I thought my cattle can no longer live long, made up mind going to Tokyo.
I came to Tepco's head office with campaigner's car on 3/18. I was the first one to do it in Fukushima.
Everyone, my cattle have no value as product. It's zero. It's completely meaningless to exist now.
They have been exposed to radiation, can't sell them out anymore.
I told Tepco, I will definitely claim for damage.
and, pushing all the risk to self defense force and the Fire and Disaster Management Agency to settle it down, how dare you escape.
I claimed them as crying.
Stop Fukushima plants to die if necessary.
We need someone to die, someone must die to settle it down.
When I left my farm, I left a message,
Save our lives. This is our deadly struggle.
Earthquake, Tsunami, and the nuclear plants to attack us.
Get fully prepared to die if necessary and try to settle it down.
We must fight, how dare you escape.
I still think so.
Now my cattle are deeply contaminated by cesium,
and my body is contaminated as much as them.
In 6 microSv/h, I feed them everyday.
They had a lot of babies.
Because of the lack of crops, and the cold weather,
they are dying one after one.
Spring will come, Summer will come, grass of ranch will grow again, I believe.
I want people to make the best of them for study of radiation exposure, decontamination,
and to have the huge dead rice field come back alive by using my cattle somehow in Futabagun.
I'm now trying to make the government, and The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries develop the project.
I believe my cattle of hope will be useful for the recovery of Fukushima.
No more nuclear power to Fukushima.
However, I know it's too late.
It's already bad as Chernobyl.
Our town has gotten Chernobyl in it.
Who's to blame ?
Who destroyed our life, and our future ?
Burning the rest of my life, I will definitely claim for damage from Tepco and Japanese government.
We won't let them operate the nuclear plants, won't let them re-start the nuclear plants.
We can live without nuclear plants. Everyone unite and take action.

Just adding a poll because it seemed there was some interest in having one on the other thread. I think the OP's original question was: What is your DP's salary?
I voted based on last years income after our taxes were done. This year we will be in a new tax bracket... WOOHOO...
DP got a promotion. Yea for us. that is gonna make for a much better christmas and now we can start affording to go more natural with food too...
We are pretty comfortable right now, slightly above out state's median household income. BUT, when my first child was born and I become a SAHM, DH's salary was less than half of what it is now.
Wow, $100K + a year? Any commenters on that? There's 16 voters so far...
I went with less than $20k based on the question of what is my DPs salary, because I'm a single stay at home mom. Based on annual household income, I would be just a smidge over $20k.
I'll bite-$100k a year isn't as much as you think it is for some areas of the country with high costs of living. 6 figures is NOT what it used to be!!
I voted at 100k because we don't pay for our health insurance and dh gets bonuses and his employer contributes to his 401k every year ...if you add all of that with his salary it is around 100k ....and I agree it doesn't go as far as I would like but we are comfortable
I'll also bite on the six figure votes. My husband's salary not including benefits is in the low six-figure range. We live in an average cost-of-living area but we have two kids on the autism spectrum and only one's services are covered through the state's department of developmental disabilities. Medical and therapy expenses for the other are really high and things are actually kind of tight for us right now. I'm going back to school so I can get a job earning a decent salary (my field before SAHMing was as a network admin and it's changed so much; I didn't keep up) so I can help out in the future.
We're not extravagent by any means -- we rarely go out to dinner, we don't drive new cars, we haven't been on a big vacation since our honeymoon ... sadly, $100K just doesn't go as far as you'd think in some areas of the country (we're in Orange County, CA).
If you factor in our investments we are over $100,000. But most of the investments we cant touch, so I voted for the $80,000 range. We are very comfortable. Both cars are paid off, little to no credit card debt, and our mortgage is 1/4 of our salary.
So I have to ask, everyone who posted saying their household income is over $100K also pointed out that they are struggling in some way, or don't have new things, or aren't extravegant. What is wrong with making a good income? Why do you guys sound almost guilty about having money??
We're in the lowest ATM...It'll triple or more next school year since DH will be done with school and woking.
We are right at the 6 figure number as well. I dont feel bad for our income since we have worked hard to get to that point. I live in a suburban metro area so my COL might be higher than some other parts of the country. Housing can be a huge eater of your income. For us, its not be because we bought our first home 10 plus years ago and sold it for a huge profit that we sunk into our new home. So our payment, property taxes etc only went up $350 monthly. Also, our benefits are paid by dh's work so that also helps. If we had to pay out money for benefits and more money towards our mortgage, it will send me right back to work.
We live quite simply. We have no debt, cook from scratch etc and since I am home with our girls, dh has had the chance to improve his career to the point that we are now making only a few thousand dollars less then when I quit my job 6 years ago.
We make 72 a year, but his health insurance is included with that and if you pay mine and DS its down to 65. If we moved to CA DH could easily make between 100-130 but the cost of living is so high we couldnt own a house and rent on a 3 bedroom house is around 3500 a month.
We're in the 100+K catagory too. That is before taxes, and keeping in mind I live in Canada, it's a healthy chunk out of it. We are comfortable, but we do pay a mortgage, we don't go on fancy vacations yearly (maybe once every 5), or have a lot of expensive toys or things-we're pretty low maintenance, we are fortunate in that we can invest and store away for retirement and the kid's post secondary, and have paid off things like our car or other loans, which we wracked up while getting to this point. Also being of the political, spiritual, social stripes we are, we also do donate a bit.
I don't feel guilty because it was a long hard road to get here, but I do feel the need to clear up any potential misconceptions about how we spend our money.
I voted over 100k. We are very comfortable. We don't struggle. And...I don't think we worked 'hard' to get here. We are both college educated (me, 4 year degree; dh, MBA) and he has a job he *loves*. We own everything we have outright except our home, and we're making some pretty mad progress on the mortgage since we recently sold in FL and moved to the midwest. We have health insurance, retirement funds, college funds, and other investments.
How did we get here? We're lucky. We were born into privilege and are whole in body and sound of mind. We had help with college and a down payment from our affluent families. We've never had a medical catastrophe or disabled child or natural disaster happen to us. We are fully aware of our good luck and privilege and thankful for it every day. We both work hard to make sure our children are aware of it too, though I don't want to be 'preachy' to them I do want them to appreciate their good lives.
It kills me to see people say 'we're well off but we worked hard for it!' because I know people who work their @sses off every day but are trapped in poverty nonetheless because of their lack of the privileges I enjoy. I know I don't 'work harder' than anyone else. I do think of myself as motivated and driven to succeed but I know the truth to my financial success is largely due to luck and circumstance. We give what we can charitably in both money and time and encourage our children to give of themselves too, because we know that we don't 'deserve' what we have, and those we would help don't 'deserve' not to have what they don't, ya know?
$36,000 gross income.
How the heck have I saved money?
Good post.
I often think I'm 'lucky' because I have few health problems.
If you notice, the posters who wondered about the $100k thing early in this thread talked about MDC's "affluent" population, "no wonder so many mamas here can afford such-and-such," etc. Making a certain income does not necessarily mean that those things are true -- I wanted to paint a more realistic picture of how far $100k really goes for some people, which is not as far as most people think if you live in a high cost-of-living area.
We make just over $20,000 but I still would consider us middle class because of the resources we have (family support (and not necessarily financial), access to information, access to education, etc.).
While it's challenging living in our income bracket I don't feel like we're lacking. I think people generally live within their means (or not). What I mean is: if we made a million dollars a year we'd probably spend at least 3/4 of a million a year on whatever. Because we make a little over $20,000 we spend a little under that. It's all relative.
C'est la vie.
I work and DH SAH. I make $8.35/hr but with all the OT and plasma money I get we make about 25 k a year. Last year DH made about 29 k. We are low income but we have noo debt annd keep our bills down. We are very comfortable.
we're right around half of six figures in a very expensive "cost of living" area. so we pretty much struggle to pay the bills and groceries and still have something left over to be able to have some fun. we really need another income but I can't see going back to work for another 3-4 yrs (dd has special needs).
we get quite a bit of help from family (well, from my side of the family).
We are right in the middle of the listed incomes, but we live in a higher than average cost of living area. So really that amount doesn't goes as far as it looks like it would unfortunately. We are very frugal in most areas, but we are big into saving our money for a few quality items here and there. I think our money makes it us as "comfortable" as it does because we probably have a different idea than the typical family as to what are necessary expenses.
FWIW, it is extremely hard to really get the big picture from polls like this IMO. Cost of living varies SO much from area to area!
we are between 60-70. We have 5 kids so while we get by....
Thanks ladies for responding. I was curious since we're a single income family coming in at about $60k this year. We're just getting to where we can get by and have a small savings. We have debt that we're slowly working down and getting our credit back in line. We also rent and right now the thought of a house seems so far off on just one income...

text: Announcing Windows Phone Developers Atlanta 17. January 2012 Joel-Ivory-Johnson (0) I wanted to take a moment to announce a meetup group for Windows Phone 7 developers based out of Atlanta. I'm one of the cofounders and organizers for this group. We've had several meetings but I wanted to wait until we got into a routine before making an announcement. I've been pretty comfortable with how things are going so I'm sharing with you now. The information for our meetings is posted on Meetup.com ( http://www.meetup.com/Win-Phone-7-Developers-Atlanta/ ). We meet one Tuesday per month (except for December, for which we've decided to have no meetings because of end-of-the year demands and holidays). Our next meeting will be Tuesday 24 January 2012. This month I'll be presenting on Windows Azure for Windows Phone developers and we may have one other person presenting on Localization. After the meeting I'll share the notes (and possibly a recording of the presentation).

Neutrogena Visibly Firm Night Cream
Neutrogena Visibly Firm Night Cream Reviews
No improvement in textureI found this to be a true cream, sealing in a serum and quenching my dry skin, but found no benefits for my skin aside from the moisture. I wouldn't buy again. — 9 years, 1 month agobeautyguru_24_7 | 284 reviews

DisappointingI used this every night for about 3 months. Although Neutrogena's products are usually very good, this one did not work for me. In the morning, my face felt dry and tight. Maybe I don't need THAT much "firming" (yet!). It seems I need moisture more than firming at this point. (I'm 46 1/2) I am now trying Olay's Regenerist Micro-sculpting night cream, which got rave reviews. I found...read more out about that product and this web site from Allure magazine.

Review: BRONX BOMBERS Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
The average playgoer walking into The Duke on 42nd Street for playwright/director Eric Simonson's Bronx Bombers might just assume the pre-show recording they're listening to is just a radio broadcast of any old baseball game. But the savvy baseball fan walking in will hear the names being mentioned and eventually realize they're listening to the play-by-play of the infamous scar on the face of Yankee Pride known as The Billy/Reggie Game.
The year was 1977, and the arbitration case of '75 that struck down baseball's reserve clause, which for nearly 100 years gave players no choice in who they played for and kept salaries relatively low, was suddenly making millionaires of the game's biggest stars as teams competed to sign the best free agents. One of those newly wealthy athletes was Reggie Jackson, hard-slugging outfielder who led the Oakland A's to three straight World Series victories and then in the winter of '76 signed with the New York Yankees for nearly three million dollars a year.
On a June afternoon in Boston, during a nationally televised game against the Red Sox, Yankee manager Billy Martin thought Jackson wasn't hustling on an outfield play and sent in a replacement in the middle of the inning; a action that was taken to be an attempt to publicly humiliate him as punishment.
1977 was a tense year of racial unrest in the Yankees' home borough of the Bronx and the appearance that a famous and popular black player was being "put in his place" by his white manager made the incident even more controversial. When Jackson returned to the dugout, the hot-temperEd Martin was seen lunging at him, having to be restrained by his coaches.
One of those coaches was Yogi Berra, arguably the greatest catcher in baseball history and the central character of Simonson's fantasy/drama. The first act takes place the next morning in Yogi's hotel room, where he's set up a meeting between himself, Martin, Jackson and team captain Thurman Munson.
While waiting for Jackson to arrive, the conversation turns to what they all regard as the Yankee Tradition. Winners of more championships than any other team in American professional sports, the legend of the Yankees is built around decades of acquiring an elite class of ballplayers who publically downplay personal glory for the sake of the team and always present themselves as clean-cut gentlemen who take the business of winning very seriously.
But when Jackson does arrive, only squeezing in time in between other appointments, he makes it clear that he has other ideas about how to carry himself as a ballplayer.
The second act begins with what looks like a scene out of Caryl Churchill's play Top Girls. In what we can only assume to be Yogi Berra's imagination, an assemblage of Yankees greats from the past and present, from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter, gather around a large dinner table to shoot the breeze, compare their careers and, again, discuss what it means to be a Yankee.
There's a bombastic Babe (C.J. Wilson) devouring hot dogs and assuming the starry-eyed Jeter (Christopher Jackson) is a member of the club's Negro League namesake. Slick, corporate Joe DiMaggio, the only player dressed in a suit, looks down his nose at his center field successor, good ol' boy Mickey Mantle (Bill Dawes), who blames an injury sustained from an on-field collision with DiMaggio as the reason he played in pain throughout his career. In the first act, Dawes is a ringer for Thurman Munson, portraying him as a conservative, dignified family man.
Francois Battiste, who played Reggie Jackson as a level-tempered self-promoter in the first act (contrasting with Keith Nobbs' tense, emotional Billy Martin) doubles as the quiet team player Elston Howard, who, looking back at his career as the Yankees' first black player, resents the fact that his achievements are not recognized as widely as those of his white colleagues.
But no matter their differences, everyone (except the Babe) stands in awe of the great gentleman Lou Gehrig (shy and polite John Wernke), showing signs of the ALS that will strike him down early in life.
Richard Topol was cast as Yogi Berra after rehearsals had already begun, replacing Joe Pantoliano. In recreating the essence of that colorful character, the stiffness of his Berra's physicality seems a bit artificial as compared with his fellow actors, but the sweet Yogi quirkiness and affection for his wife, Carmen (Wendy Makkena), are played with touching sympathy.
Simonson injects many classic Berra-isms into his conversation ("That's a record that will stand until it's broken." / "What time is it, Yogi?" "You mean now?") that Topol speaks with perfect sincerity.
The final scene takes place before the ceremony for the final game at the original Yankee Stadium, where there's an emotional passing of the torch.
Baseball fans will certainly get a lot more of the subjects being referenced, but the main theme of the members of an institution trying to uphold its untarnished reputation despite cracks in the veneer is easily recognized. Still Bronx Bombers keeps rehashing the same point in different variations; heavy on sentiment, but thin on content.

Sonny orders Dominic to kill Tommy Soto, the man Dominic named as the traitor in the organization. Dominic takes Tommy to an isolated location as instructed, but unwilling to commit cold-blooded murder, pulls out his badge instead of his gun. Meanwhile, Sonny has sent Jason on a mission to make sure Dominic does as he was instructed - namely kill Soto.
Speaking of Jason, Sam offers to help him uncover proof that Claudia was involved inMichael's shooting. Sam wonders if the police have any personal effects of Ian Devlin that could connect him to Claudia.
At the same time, Claudia puts the screws to Olivia, threatening to tell Sonny that Dominic is his son unless she ends things with Johnny immediately. Backed up into a corner, Olivia has no other recourse than to dump Johnny. It's a touching scene, too, as Johnny comes over with a stuffed teddy bear in tow, saying that Olivia can cuddle with the bear when Johnny's not around. It's then Olivia - in tears - tells Johnny she doesn't love him. She never did. Johnny doesn't believe her.

How to become more creative?Suresh Alluri1 Comment
In embedded any engineer can develop a great piece of gadget, with unlimited time, unlimited resources and an experienced team of 100people. But what if one has to finish the same project in two weeks, having limited resources, and an inexperienced team of two people.
Creativity or creative thinking is an inherent characteristic possessed by an individual irrespective of his education, social status. The new ideas come to his mind automatically in any area in which he is involved. The creative ideas keep on changing with the changed environment.
Basically I believe creative think is an art that is developed over the years; I don't think it is developed by "thinking the opposite or different way". I rather think that creative thinking will be developed by trying to find solution to problems or trying to find out the reason why things are the way there are rather than accepting what is without questions. The best technique for creative thinking is to have a fresh mind and do not hesitate to try out new ideas
Lot of people make it so difficult, normally their first question would be how to start or when and where to start developing creativity. I think creativity is part inspiration and part perspiration – changing perspectives and learning new skills/exploring new experiences are great first steps.
This is similar to what normally peoples have said – for example meeting new people and having new experiences or reading or watching movies you would not normally be exposed to, broadens your horizons, but it is not only having new experiences. It really is trying to see if from a different perspective. You may find a technique such as Yoga and going for a walk or relaxing is useful to put yourself in a mind frame to step into a new perspective.
Another way to develop creative thing is to find out what happens if you go contrary to widely accepted norms or values and be prepared to give explanations to whatever you choose to do. Einstein developed both special and general relatively by challenging what everyone knew to be true. Don't be afraid to ask dumb questions about those things everyone knows. If everyone is pointing in one direction, see if you can find another. Being creative often means thinking in ways that makes your brain uncomfortable. So look for approaches that make you anxious, uncomfortable, or scared. And then dive right into them. You can use your emotions as a guide to lead you into unknown areas, which is where creativity most often lives.
There's a common misunderstanding about the creative process that keeps many of us from advancing our own creative skill. The misunderstanding is that creativity is about "following the muse," doing whatever you want with no limits. This myth is further promoted by business magazines and television commercials that, say, celebrate everyday people covering their walls with ideas on post-its.
When there is discussion on being creative there is one name which made a big impact on our social life or who changed our society and that is Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs spoke of it as a truly mind-altering experience which forced him to look at the world in a whole new way, and he recommend that everyone try it at least once in their life. I consider that a pretty good track record. If he says it works, I would tend to agree with his view hundred percent.
After all these discussion I feel following points can help a person to be little more creative:
• Expose yourself to new things: New people, new experiences new ideas and new perspectives..
• Be observant: Everything starts with noticing things; observe the world around you and think about how you could do things better.
• Be Experiment: Try things out and if it doesn't work try something else. Try to solve problems by using different techniques.
• Work ethic = habit + discipline + passion: The first two are acquired through focus and training. The last by character and your natural dispositions.
• Strategy = education + design + approach: It's about how you value intelligence and experimentation. Intelligence stacks and ideas are progressive. How high can you make it and how far can you go? This requires rigorous strategy and a genuine appreciation of consequence by design.
• Imagination = input – prejudice: Our imagination expands proportionally to what we are focused on and for how long (input), minus what we throw away.
• Change Up Your Environment: To think creatively, try switching up your environment or get involved in other things. If you normally work in one part of your room, try working from the kitchen or your backyard. Alternatively, try working out of a coffee shop (if you can).
• Pick a problem you care about and get to work: If you don't care about anything, your problem isn't creativity, its apathy.
• Take Breaks : Sometimes when you are in a mental block, take a break and step away from your zone. Take a walk around the block, get a cup of coffee, or step out for a breath of fresh air, sit outside and get some sunshine.
• Don't just read a lot; read broadly: Creativity is about knowing things and then putting those ideas together in a new way.
• Do something you normally do differently: Ride a bike to work, or take a bus, or drive a different route. Sometimes these new experiences trigger a new viewpoint or break you out of your routine trance.
• Teach and Talk it Through: grab a colleague and try to explain your current thoughts or ideas. Get some feedback and "riff" on the ideas. Another person's perspective and input may trigger new concepts, approaches, or perspectives. Even if you think your "idea" is too complex or too technical, try to put it into layman's terms or find analogies that someone without your experience or depth can give you some ideas.
• We all have a natural creative style: find it and start from there.
• Write it Down: Sometimes the act of writing out your thoughts/comments or sketching it on paper can let you noodle on it from a different angle. If you have a blog, write it up. If you have a corporate wiki, share your notes. If you have a journal or sketchbook, doodle it in. Some people dictate their thoughts into a recorder and listen back to it.
• Be curious like a child: Don't take things for granted; have a questioning disposition; ask why?
• Explore New Experiences: this one is probably super obvious, but the people who are most creative have a wide array of experiences to tap into. Learn a new skill, hobby, or read a different genre of books or watch a different type of movie. If you can afford to, take weekend road trips or explore your own city as a tourist.
• Stop Trying: Sometimes, stop forcing yourself to be "creative." It's those weird moments where some epiphanies come back at you while you're in the shower or picking up groceries. Relax and be okay if you can't come up with something right now.
• Meditate: My friends swear by this, but they say a good Yoga or meditation session helps them tap into their creativity by clearing the noise and refreshing their energy.
• Sleep: A good night's rest will give you a fresh view on things.

Christian Gaiddon0000-0003-4315-3851
Christian Gaiddon was born in 1967 in Mulhouse (France). He got his Ph.D. degree in Strasbourg university (France) in 1997 on the role of mutated small G protein in neuroendocrine tumors and on the molecular mechanisms of BDNF neuroprotective activity. He then studied the p53 protein family during his Ph.D. study in Carol Prives's lab in Columbia University (New York) for 4 years. In 2001, he was hired by the CNRS as a Junior Research Associate in IPCB in Strasbourg to work on the p53 family in the nervous system. From 2006 to 2010, he served as a Senior Scientist Associate in the Department INSERM U692 (Strasbourg, France) and studied the molecular mechanisms of stress response in the nervous system. Since 2010, he serves as a Director of research and developed his group in the department INSERM U682 (Strasbourg, France). He is interested in the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of the cellular response toward different stresses. He is linking his research to physiological and pathological contexts related to the digestive and neuronal systems, such as cancers, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammation. He is focusing on several molecular mechanisms, including the p53 family, genes involved in the cellular identity and the polycomb proteins. He his also using his knowledge and findings to develop new therapeutic approaches. In particular, he is currently focusing on the characterization of the anticancer properties of several new organometallic compounds that target the cellular energy metabolism.
