For reasons that scientists have yet to discover, Minnesota Timberscrub Marko Jaric is still dating Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima, as you can see from these photos of them at American Ballet Theatre’s Noche Latina held earlier this week. (Side note: before anyone disses the ballet, I recommend checking out ABT’s Gillian Murphy and Irina Dvorovenko.)
You know, I can accept that star athletes date supermodels. That’s their God-given right for being ungodly rich superhuman physical specimens who are generally better than I am in most facets of life. But this… this isn’t right. If Jaric’s eyes were any closer together he’d be a cyclops. He makes lemurs and owls look walleyed.
Suicide-inducing UPDATE: They got engaged yesterday.
Maybe she has a thing for Picasso paintings.
This guy looks about as happy as a dude that is about to be raped by Bubba. If I was him, I would have a shit eating grin on my face, and would probably still have the smell of her pussy on my face and dick. Not having an appreciation for ass like that is a sin! A sin I tell you! Cut that guys dick off!
he must be some sort of wizard or warlock that has cast an evil spell over her.
And shave and put a tie on you fucking dickhead you're going to the ballet for Christ's sake.
What a filthy Serb. Oh and this; "(Side note: before anyone disses the ballet, I recommend checking out ABT's Gillian Murphy and Irina Dvorovenko.)" is without a doubt the comment that finally convinced me of UFFORDS homosexuality.
bringing a chick to the ballet is guaranteed pussy. trust me they love that shit. I've been to the ballet and hated it , I but just fantasized about the hot ballerinas on stage and the fucking I'd be doing afterwards.
If you've got something against Gillian and Irina, I'd humbly suggest that YOU, sir, are the one who prefers sexual intercourse with men.
Gillian Murphy? Didn't be play 'Scarecrow" in Batman Begins?
Irina > Gillian.
both hot, but Gillian a little too pale for my taste.
If I knew what the fuck any of that was, I might be able to think of some creative retort, but obviously I'm not as cultured as the rest of you suave, ballet-going funboys. Is ballet a sport? Oh yea, Jaric. Did I mention he's a filthy, smelly Serb?
Is that a prosthetic nose? WTF?
Cluster bomb these fucking people.
Isn't it guy code that you force your woman to never wear clothes if she is that hot?
I second the "cut off his dick" motion.
Gillian Murphy played Agent Scully on "The X-Files"
Jaric only has to wear one goggle when he goes swimming in his pool. So he's got that going for him.
Lucky for me, she seems to have a thing for ugly guys.
Good call by Jaric not using that $1000 to buy a telescope
+1 Grimey for the "Can't Buy Me Love" reference
Why is he wering a Jai Lai Cesta on his nose?
I know they had passionate video at free interracial dating site MixedCupid.com which is the good place for 18+ singles from each race. Good for them
Well played, Grimey.
adriana lima is also rumored to be a virgin. take that however you want.
whenever y'all are done being suicidal/cutting jaric's dick off, let me know so we can get back to talking sports.
Wait, sexy girls are there for me? I thought they'd been here the whole time!
Remember that vote for who is the most pretentious? I was considering that I could have been out of line voting for the Marine over the Exeter grad, but then someone goes and announces their passion for ballet.
That being said, Billy Joel's Moving Out was fantasic.
I wouldnt feel so bad about this post if it meant she would go to all of his home games, which would get people into the Target Center, but we all know she's not dumb enough to watch a horrible NBA team suck balls on a regular basis in 30 below 0 Minnesota
First off – great picture Burnsy
Second – Lima is retardedly hot, but is Brazilian. Anyone who has talked to a Brazilian will realize how terrible it is to talk to a Brazilian. Worst English accent ever.
Third – isn't she also a virgin? I mean, if she was putting out this would be more of a travesty, but she's really just like a piece of art someone gets to own. Whoopdi-doo.
Fourth – he's tall, makes millions, is a Euro, and is a baller. Now I'm all of those things too, but he has better hair.
Jaric looks like one of the "after" photos when Conan O'Brien does "If They Mated" on his show.
An athlete and a model marrying, you say? Surely, that union will last forever. | http://withleather.uproxx.com/2008/06/yup-this-is-fair-update | 2013-05-18T10:23:43 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Wednesday December 16, 2009
Last night as I screwed up during the top 9(nothing big...just didn't have a song ready and had to turn the mic on and talk about how I wasn't ready as I got ready,) I realized that yesterday marked 12 years that I have been doing nights at WIXX. Dan Stone called me up around Thanksgiving to tell me the news....I remember hanging the phone up and shouting very loudly. I was glad to be coming back to Wisconsin. It's been the most fun I've ever had at a job. Thank you all very much for allowing me to continue to do it. It's an honr and a privilege. If i weren't working at WIXX...I'd be a snowplow driver. We sure could use a few more this year.

From WENN.com
The embattled Mean Girls star had prepared to skip Wednesday's hearing after her new lawyer, Mark Heller, submitted a doctor's note to the court on Tuesday (29Jan13), explaining that his new client had been advised by medics to stay in the Big Apple and rest after contracting a respiratory infection.
Heller claimed the actress had been examined by a doctor on Saturday (26Jan13) - the same day she was photographed shopping in Manhattan.
However, Lohan subsequently caught a late-night flight to appear before Judge Stephanie Sautner and answer allegations she lied to California police following a car crash last year (12) - and the court official couldn't help but make light of the sick note, telling the star, ""I'm glad to see you're feeling better.""
Sautner then quizzed Lohan about her legal representation following the departure of her longtime lawyer Shawn Holley earlier this month (Jan13), and the actress reluctantly admitted she was happy to have her new lawyer, New York-based Heller, defend her against the latest charges - even though he is not that familiar with California law.
The judge approved the change of representation and set the next hearing for 1 March (13), reports TMZ.com.
Lohan faces three charges relating to her 2012 car crash - giving false information to a police officer, obstructing or resisting a police officer in the performance of his duty and reckless driving, which carry a jail sentence of over 240 days. The incident could also land her in trouble for violating her probation from her 2011 jewellery theft conviction. | http://wixx.com/news/articles/2013/feb/01/lindsay-lohan-recovers-from-illness-to-attend-cour/ | 2013-05-18T10:13:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The rumors and innuendo around whether or not former USC running back and Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was complicit in taking money from sports agents while he was still an "amateur" are starting to gain significant momentum.
Here are the documents that seriously implicate Reggie Bush and his father.
It would be very difficult for Bush to explain these away.
What are the implications? Well, they may or may not be terribly significant depending on your view.
Reggie Bush: Reggie would lose his Heisman Trophy and maybe take a small hit in endorsements. He probably doesn't care about the trophy since it already accomplished what he wanted. The endorsement hit will be small if at all. Reggie stands to walk in this with little or no damage.
Pete Carroll: Pete had nothing apparent to do with this skullduggery but he will take a bigger hit than Reggie anyway. The NCAA could take away the 2006 National Championship, Pac-10 Championship and more importantly a whole bunch of scholarships. USC will throw Pete under the bus in a second. Other than maybe six schools across the country, every other coach would jump at the job. Toss Pete, get a new coach, problem solved.
USC: This is a real challenge for their Public Relations department. The University will take some serious heat for a dumb ass and his dumb ass family but the damage can be controlled. We'll see how they handle it. Note to USC: Defending this idiot would be a very bad idea.
Vince Young: The big winner. Vince would get the Heisman as the runner up. This would vindicate the position of many that think had the voting been done after the National Championship game Young would have won it running away.
Stay tuned folks, this is just getting started. | http://wizbangsports.com/2008/01/the_usc_train_wreck_gains_spee.php | 2013-05-18T10:13:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Mariners Blank Twins 7-0
Seattle ended their 7-game losing streak with a 7-0 win over the Twins Saturday night. Felix Hernandez allowed just 1-hit in 8 innings with 9 strikeouts to get the win for the Mariners. Jason Marquis allowed 4 hits, 6 walks and 2 earned runs in 6 innings to take the loss for the Twins. He’s 2-1. Denard Span had the only hit for the Twins.
Minnesota falls to 7-19 on the season and will wrapup the 3-game series in Seattle today at 3:10, pregame on WJON at 2:40. Righthander Nick Blackburn (0-3) gets the start on the mound for the Twins and righthander Hector Noesi (1-3) toes the rubber for the Mariners.
The Twins will call up shortstop Brian Dozier and starting pitcher Scott Diamond from triple-A Rochester in time for their next series against the Angels at home. The Twins will place Justin Morneau on the 15-day disabled list with a wrist injury and will option starting pitcher Liam Hendriks to triple-A. | http://wjon.com/mariners-blank-twins-7-0/ | 2013-05-18T10:32:08 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

More than 84% of our graduating class of 2011 are
already in work or continuing their studies.
The results of the latest Destinations of Leavers From Higher
Education (DLHE) survey* show in difficult economic times we have a
very high proportion of our students taking their place in the
world of work. 84% of our 2011 graduates had already found
employment and/or were pursuing further training six months after
graduation and by now we would expect that to be substantially
higher.:
Then once you graduate, the support continues with:

(Reuters) - The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has set disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong a February 6 deadline to fully cooperate in the investigation into cycling's darkest episode in return for a possible reduction of his life ban.
In excerpts of his interview with the CBS network scheduled for Sunday broadcast, USADA CEO Travis Tygart said he had written a letter to Armstrong with the offer.
Armstrong, 41, admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last week that he had cheated his way to a record seven Tour de France titles with systematic use of banned, performance-enhancing drugs. Last year he was stripped of his titles after being labeled a "serial cheat" by the USADA.
Tygart also disputed Armstrong's claims of a clean comeback in 2009.
"His blood tests in 2009, 2010 ... one to a million chance that it was due to something other than doping," Tygart said.

Bringing care & community together
Donations
Dear Neighbour,
You may not have come into contact with us yet – but chances are that the young mother down the street, the elderly couple around the corner, or the nice family next door has.
The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre's (WOCRC) programs and services touch many people's lives in many different ways.
The WOCRC is all about giving people a chance to change their lives, to learn new skills, to feel the warmth of support through difficult times, to share with others experiencing similar challenges.
The best way to help people is to support them in reaching their goals. We work together with others to find innovative solutions to the issues that concern us in order to bring about change.
You may think that the WOCRC is funded solely by city and government dollars but in fact only a partial amount comes from government sources. The majority of our programs are funded by donations from generous community members just like you.
It's the small things on a day-to-day basis that really matter -- watching children and their parents come to a drop-in session at the Early Years Centre, having a cup of tea with one of our adult day program attendees, or reading a heartfelt note of thanks from a mom whose child no longer fears going to school.
Every day I have the privilege of seeing firsthand how the generosity of our donors and corporate sponsors helps to rebuild lives, often torn apart through illness, abuse, loss and even death.
It is through generous donations from individuals, community groups and businesses that we are able to continue to make a difference in our community.
In today's fast-paced world of change and uncertainty, it means so much to know that our future is one that includes such compassionate and caring community members.
If at any time you would like more information on the WOCRC, please do not hesitate to phone us at 613-591-3686 or explore this website at your leisure. Thank you for your support!

3 November 2009—Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha, today announced
details of the Middle East
Mathematica Conference 2009, to be held 13–14 November
in
Beirut, Lebanon.
The conference provides a unique opportunity for professionals in the
Middle East from all areas of expertise to experience how the technology
behind Mathematica increases efficiency and drives growth in a
number of industries, including finance, engineering, research, and
education. The conference includes a Mathematica training session
on 13 November, which is fully booked.
As the information economy continues to boom, the cutting-edge
computational technology of Mathematica has risen to the
forefront of a new "computation revolution". Mathematica is the
technology behind the world's first computational knowledge engine,
Wolfram|Alpha, which was launched in May. Conference attendees will learn
firsthand how these advances are changing the technological landscape, and
will discover how Mathematica technology can help their
businesses grow.
Christophe Déplacé, business development manager at Wolfram
Research, will be conducting the conference at the American Lebanese
University (LAU), with talks by:

Today was a beautiful day in Edison, NJ. This afternoon I helped to turn Edison teal for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. We received approval to hang the ribbons a day early so that some of us could attend the Rutgers -Fresno St football game on Labor Day. The Turn the Town Teal Campaign was spearheaded by Gail MacNeil , co-founder of the Kaleidoscope of Hope Foundation.(KOH) who passed away in June of this year . KOH, collaborated with the northern NJ NOCC and Atlantic Health to turn over 120 towns in NJ teal. That is three times the number of towns as we had last year.
Nick and I, together with Janice another Ovarian Cancer survivor from Edison and her family, put ribbons on over 30 trees leading up to and around the Edison municipal building and parking lot. Once we were done there we drove over to Amboy Avenue in the Clara Barton section of Edison and put up a few more ribbons. We will finish hanging ribbons there after the Fall Festival ( Sept 13,14).
On Tuesday Mayor Choi will present us with the town's Proclamation of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Special thanks to the Mayor's staff, Jerry, Lori and Jennifer for making all this happen.
Continuing to LIVESTRONG,

The Pilgrims landed on the shores of America full of vision. The first year they established a town. The next year they elected a council. In their third year the town council proposed building a road eight kilometres out into the wilderness for westward expansion. But the people criticised it as a waste of public funds. Amazing! Once they had been able to see across oceans to new worlds, now they could not see eight kilometres down the road. What happened? They lost their vision!
How can you keep that from happening to you?
First, refuse to become self-centred! God wants you to enjoy success, but anytime the profit margin becomes more important than the service principle, you will forfeit God's blessing. Secondly, do not get lost in the mundane! One successful leader writes, 'In preparation for the day, I focus on the main event and ask, "In order to make the main event a good event, what must I know? Do? Eliminate?" Some things will be fun, some will not, but with preparation the most important things will get done well.' Thirdly, refuse to go with the flow! Most of us are married to the status quo. We want what is, not what can be. We seek safety and simple answers.
To keep your vision alive you must give yourself permission to go a different way; to break new ground. The moment your eyes open each morning remind yourself, 'There is more out there than what I've experienced', then commit your day to God and get moving! 'Like the blind we grope...feeling our way like men without eyes...' (Isaiah 59:10 NIV).
I have blogger's block because my life is just too wonderful right now.
Mr T has now seen what i look like first thing in the morning - and he is still here.
It must be love. Seriously.

There’s practically no steps to this. I feel almost silly even writing it, but there’s some small knowledge here that can make a big difference if you make one, and that’s why I’m gonna be talking about it. The key is in the sanding.
First of all, why the hell didn’t I have a cheeseboard until now? I love cheese! I’ve been cutting the stuff on plates and that’s just dumb. I’ve broken plates this way and certainly dulled my knives. The best thing to cut on while look like a classy son-of-a-gun in the process is definitely real wood.
I’m using Walnut because it’s super sexy, but also is really good to work with and will give a great finish. Step one is obviously to just cut your board. I’m gonna use a live edge because I have access to great pieces of wood, but you can make a fancy shape, leave it square, or anything really. Whatever your shape, I say simpler the better, because the faster you’re done, the quicker you can load it up with cheese and meats.
After the shape is established, it’s time for the un-fun and necessary… lots of sanding. Don’t skimp on this part, and don’t think you can get away with one grit and make it nice. You really have to step down with the grit, and this will make not only a better product, but it’ll go faster too. If your board is relatively smooth from a planer, then start with about a 80 grit on an orbital sander. After you have sufficiently smoothed out any major imperfections, it’s time to change the grit. Next hit it with some 120, then 220, then 320, and if you’re really going for that silky feel – 400 with a hand block sanding in the direction of the grain. At this point, the bare wood will be so smooth you won’t want to stop touching it.
Next blow the dust off with a compressor or use a tack cloth to get the dust off. If you’re sanding furniture, I like a little dust in my finish to fill the grain… But we’re going to oil this piece to make if food safe, and I don’t want any dust in my cheese.
Apply some mineral oil to the wood with a soft cloth and then remove any excess with another cloth. You can apply a few coats, making sure it soaks into the wood plenty. After a cure period of a couple days, you’re ready to use it. You can reapply oil every once-in-a-while to keep it looking good… and if you’re doing tons of cutting, you can always re-sand to get it back to the original condition. | http://woodandfaulk.com/2013/02 | 2013-05-18T10:21:47 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

The century anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic is on April 15. Proving it's never too early to listen to an interesting discussion, the Woodbridge Main Library is hosting a lecture entitled "Titanic: The Latest Chapter" tonight at 7 pm.
The talk will be given by Titanic expert Charles Haas. Admission is free.
The cruise ship, billed as unsinkable, scraped by an iceburg on its way from London to New York on April 15, 1912. Since it was the maiden voyage of the ocean liner, many of the rich and famous were aboard the ship, like members of the Vanderbilt family.
Because of a lack of lifeboats (who needed them if the ship was unsinkable?), many passengers died. There were many men on the list, since in those days the words "women and children first" was an unshakeable article of faith.
Even so, women and children were among the lost, particularly if they were in steerage, or third class berths.
The ship sunk in the deep Atlantic, until it was discovered in 1985 in 12,000 ft. of water, broken into two pieces. | http://woodbridge.patch.com/articles/talk-about-the-100th-anniversary-of-the-sinking-of-the-titanic | 2013-05-18T10:53:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
6 Strategic Spots to Place Outdoor Lighting
One of the best things about summer is the nice warm weather that is perfect for spending time outside. However, many of us work long hours and by the time we get home, shower, and grab a meal, the sun is almost down.
At Woodfield Landscaping, we know the perfect solution for homeowners who would like to extend outdoor fun beyond daylight: we’re talking about outdoor lighting.
We’ve installed many Maryland outdoor lighting systems and helped many homeowners not only improve usability of their yards, but also increase their property’s curb appeal. Outdoor lighting fixtures are usually low-voltage (12 volts) or powered by solar energy, which makes them extremely energy-efficient. In most cases, outdoor lights have two key benefits: lighting the area to ensure safe use and highlighting certain landscape features for aesthetic reasons.
While designing an outdoor lighting layout or having your local Maryland landscaping company do the job, remember that lights need to be placed strategically. Here are few spots you might want to light up:
Pathways and steps
Place the lights on both sides of all pathways to light the way. This will help you easily navigate them in darkness and will be of great aid to your guests who are unfamiliar with your property. Be sure to also illuminate the steps, because it’s very easy to stumble and hurt oneself in the darkness.
Patios and decks
Use illuminating table centerpieces, string lights, soft lanterns, tiki torches, or whatever fits your style and landscape design. Install multiple light sources of different brightness, so that you could easily take your patio or deck from party to romantic.
House number and mailbox
A bright-lit house number will help guests arriving after dark easily spot your home. Especially if it’s located too far away from the road and the street lights are not of much use. Also, people are less likely to hit your mailbox by accident if it’s properly illuminated.
Garage and side doors
Put motion-activated flood lights near garage and house entrances. They are very convenient because you don’t have to flip the switch and double as a security measure in case someone approaches your house in the dark of the night.
Landscape features
Create dramatic lighting to highlight your beautiful landscape elements, such as well-groomed trees and bushes, flower beds, sculptures, ponds, fountains, etc. Be careful not to overdo it by placing too many bright lights all over the place: you don’t want your property to look like an amusement park.
Pool and hot tub
If your pool or hot tub didn’t come with pre-installed lights, it might be a good idea to place lights along the perimeter. For tub, you could use low ambient lights to create relaxing atmosphere. As for the pool, you can install something brighter to better illuminate the surface of the water.
Have questions about outdoor lighting or would like us to design a custom lighting system for your property? Get in touch and we’ll be happy to help! | http://woodfieldlandscapinginc.com/blog/6-strategic-spots-to-place-outdoor-lighting/ | 2013-05-18T10:41:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

WELCOME TO WOODLAND ACADEMY!
A Multi-Grade, Independent, Coeducational, Non-sectarian School
For Grades Pre-K through Eighth.
At Woodland, we use a multi-grade approach to education when appropriate. Multi-grade classrooms offer to 1) replace competitiveness with cooperation, 2) provide passive background learning, 3) provide a setting where a student’s learning in single subjects can be reinforced by moving that student between groups with very little attention being brought to their differences, 4) allow students to ‘move up’ with little or no disruption and 5) provide familiar and expectative relationships between teacher and students.

Our limited-sized classrooms, emphasizing in-depth, distraction-free teaching, make the most of your child's time. In short, we expect more of our students, and they receive more in return.
*
Above all, Woodland Academy students consistently receive above-average scores in national achievement tests and are well prepared for success at public and private high schools.
*
Students also receive classes in Algebra, Foreign Language, Art, and hands-on instruction in our Computer Lab.
*
Study and reading skills are enhanced through our library facilities.
*
All students enjoy regular physical education instruction, both in our full sized gym and outside playing fields.
*
Woodland Academy participates in several interscholastic activities, including basketball, soccer, forensic events and track and field events.

and the college’s workforce program.
Land surveying professionals from throughout the state volunteered their time to share experiences and provide participants with hands-on demonstrations of the state-of-the-art equipment used in the profession. Educators were also provided ideas as to how to incorporate the information they’ve learned into programs that will better prepare their students for entering college-level surveying and mapping technology programs, such as the program at LSC-Montgomery.
“The surveying and mapping program at LSC-Montgomery is a good one as it will help students of any age gain the skills they need to begin their career or move up the ranks,” said Stephen Matovich, director of surveying for The Woodlands Development Company. In spite of the current economic downturn, Matovich believes that there will continue to be increased demand for professionals in the field in the future.”
Matovich smiled as he wittingly explained that the surveying industry provides “a choice of fields” when it comes to specialization.
“Whether determining home, commercial, or utility locations, or mapping the bottom of an ocean or lake, there are a lot of specialties in this industry,” said Matovich. “Most government entities, as well as forest and military departments have a need for surveyors.”
Participants in the retreat receive CEUs for their profession, portable GPS units to use in their classrooms, examples of lesson plans for educational activities, and a $150 stipend.
The land surveying and mapping technology program at LSC-Montgomery prepares students to enter a high-tech profession that uses state-of-the-art equipment to determine the exact location and measurement of points, lines, and contours of the earth's surface as a land surveying technician. Students entering the program may earn a workforce skills certificate or an associate of applied science degree. Currently, LSC-Montgomery has three articulated programs through the LSC-University Center that enable a smooth transition for students wishing to go on to earn a bachelor's degree in the field.
For more information about the land surveying and mapping program at LSC-Montgomery, contact Roger McDonald, program director, at 936 271-6179.

Kathy works regularly with people who don’t know anything about building and maintaining a website. She’s a great resource and teacher.

Tough? Yes it is … since I am not at all technical and have no clue where the format comes from and when I try to add something new it seems to never look like I planned it…..I have been reading this stuff for some time and need very simple specific instructions…as a person who lived my first fourty years without a computer I am totally confused! But still trying! There is always hope!

Please do not give up hope! Explore everything using the default theme. Go to Appearance > Widgets and drag stuff from the left to the drop down boxes on the right. Use the text widget to learn what goes where by adding the title “primary sidebar goes here” then check the site to see where it shows up. Don’t be afraid to click on anything, but don’t make any changes in Appearance > Editor or Plugins > Editor. You’ll be geeked out just looking at the stuff in there!

It’s really not complicated at all if you’re technical.
I went from working with PHP framework systems (Zend and Cake) to WordPress and it took like.. half a day to work out the plugin/theming systems.

Congrats on reaching six months. I'm a bit puzzled about Shadows, though. Went to download that for Kindle and it's not showing up. I'm Canadian so that may have something to do with it. Odd, though, since other books by Jennifer are available that way. I suppose I'll need to wait and see.

i would make a cupcake based on the uglies series. i would have some that are white (like perfection) with perfectly applied frosting in all kinds of elaborate patterns like the pretties/specials/extras would have. i would have another that was chocolate (like dirty) with frosting just applied plainly, like how the uglies are supposed to look, and not put any kind of patterns on them.
I would make a cupcake based on The Gallagher Girls series by Ally Carter (love spies). They would be chocolate with pink icing and some sort of spy decoration on top. I would call them The Operatives Delight.

It helps to know the size of the audience for the presentation.
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
As part of an interview, employers may want to see what you can do besides answer questions, and so may require you to give a presentation. A presentation can highlight how you do under pressure, how you make an argument, and how you manage to connect with other people; it can also also showcase expert knowledge and reflect the use of technical skills. Teachers, marketing and advertising creators, broadcast personalities, sales reps, executives, professors, professional speakers and public relations specialists are among those who may be asked to give a presentation at an interview.
Factors That Affect Your Presentation
How you will plan the presentation depends on a variety of factors, including the type of job that you're interviewing for, the size of the audience, the length of the presentation, the venue, the amount of advance notice given and the topic. Get as many details as possible from the person who arranged the interview. Your contacts inside the organization may be able to suggest how to connect with the audience.
Structure of the Presentation Content
Spend the most time thinking about the specific audience you will present to and what to tell them. Specify the topic, conduct research, decide which facts to use and structure them in a logical fashion; using a comparison/contrast method or a sequential argument can give your presentation a logical flow. Ensure that your content has a clear hook, introduction, supporting details and conclusion.
Your Speaking Style
Plan to meet the needs of a diverse audience. You need to decide the level of vocabulary that will fit the audience, the pacing and what visual aids or technology will enhance the presentation. For example, if you're conducting a talk on a university campus visit hoping to parlay your PhD into a position as a professor, you could share the details of original research in a way that is understood both by experts in the field and by other academics and lay people who might not understand the jargon of your particular discipline. Include examples, anecdotes and highlights of your work to appeal to a broad audience.
Supporting Documentation and Practice
If you are assigned an open-ended presentation, you can prepare a short speech or PowerPoint presentation that features the highlights of your professional background. Prepare supporting documentation that will influence the employer's hiring decision, and include documents, websites, projects, reports, reference letters, client testimonials and online portfolios. Practice your delivery, and include using the equipment and visual aids you plan to use in your presentation when you practice. Your goal is to feel comfortable, while impressing the audience.

"Corporations sometimes hire private investigators to verify that your claim is not fraud."
Today's post comes from guest author Leonard Jernigan of the North Carolina Bar.*
When you are unable to return to work quickly, the insurance industry has a lot of tools at its disposal to verify your disability status. They can pour over your medical records, pre- and post-injury, looking for any piece of evidence to deny your claim.
They can send your file to lawyers who review medical records and recorded statements to potentially attack your credibility and honesty.
They can hire a nurse to attend your appointments and speak with the physician and the staff, as well as obtain information directly from you. They can do background searches on you to see if you have a criminal or civil record. Obviously they will check to see if you ever filed a workers' compensation claim before.
They will also do social media and Internet searches on you and your family members (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). They also can hire private investigators to follow you and your family around and take video recordings of your activities.
With all these resources at the disposal of the insurance company, it's hard to believe that many cases of employee fraud slip through the system.
We have one client recently who was followed by several private detectives for more than a year. They not only followed him around, but also followed his wife and son, who have no workers' compensation claim.
Another client had to sell his house because of his disability. A private investigator pretended to be a potential buyer and spent an hour or more going through the house. Does the concept of "Big Brother" come to mind? Are you concerned about invasion of privacy, particularly for family members, friends, and others who may be seen in such videos?
We always tell our clients such activity may occur so don't be alarmed by it, but that isn't too comforting to people who are struggling through health issues, who have depression and anxiety problems, and who are sensitive to privacy concerns.
It would be interesting if the roles were reversed and employers who underpay premiums by misclassifying the status of their employees, who fail to purchase insurance required to protect their workers, and who don't follow proper safety regulations that cause injury, were followed this closely by employees or regulators who administer the workers' compensation program. I have no doubt that these employers and insurance representatives would be outraged.

BEIJING - In one of those increasingly common incidents in our Internet-driven culture, a self-promoting young woman known as Guo Meimei created a scandal earlier this year by drawing attention to the very commercial nature of the Red Cross Society of China. Donations, not surprisingly, have plummeted.
And now the scandal has taken off again. Earlier this week, Chinas National Red Cross Youth Unit held a meeting in Tianjin to discuss how to promote the Red Cross in schools across the country. Prior to this, the press had been reporting that numerous students in primary and secondary schools have been forced by their schools to join the organization and pay for their membership.
So what do we make of all of this?
On one hand, that in promoting its activities to youngsters, the Red Cross is carrying on a long international tradition and therefore shouldn't be questioned. As early as 1880, during the British-Dutch Boer War, there were already Canadian students who volunteered to work for the Red Cross. During World War I, masses of young people helped treat wounded soldiers and war victims. In 1922, a resolution of the International Red Cross advised its member countries affiliates to promote the membership of students of all levels.
From this stance, Chinese youngsters entering the body makes up a very important part of Chinas Red Cross Society, and conforms to the spirit of the organization.
Crisis of confidence
And yet, though Chinas Red Cross must certainly develop its activities among young people, such recruitment comes as the organization faces a true crisis of confidence. Take the membership fee as an example: as long as its really the youngsters taking the initiative to join the society and making contributions voluntarily, there shouldnt be any problem. But too often, the fees are mandatory, and many of Chinas local schools require their students to join the organization.
Moreover, there is no transparency in where the contribution actually winds up. It is only legitimate that the public wants to make sure that the money is not misused or misappropriated.
To put it plainly, under the current cloud of doubt about Chinas Red Cross, promotion of a so-called charitable campus is going to be misread and criticized. The fact that the routine work of the charitable body arouses so much controversy is evidence of a deeper problem.
So the key of the Guo Meimei incident lies in how to reestablish peoples trust in the Red Cross. There are only two possible ways out.
First is to decouple the organization from the state authorities, and let it return to its original NGO charity status, to operate in accordance with the regulations of philanthropic foundations.
The second is to quickly set up a sound mechanism for tracking contributions so that the public can check on the destination of donations. Ultimately, if the Red Cross of China wants to emerge from the current cloud and function normally again, if the China Red Cross Youth Unit is not to be turned into a scapegoat, there is only one solution: the organization must regain the trust of the Chinese public.

ACCRA, Ghana - Police in Ghana have arrested two U.S. nationals working as volunteers for the Peace Corps aid program in Ghana in connection with the killing of a local man who tried to rob them, police said Monday.
A police officer in the northern town of Wa said the incident happened over the weekend when they were attacked by two robbers.
One Peace Corps volunteer fought back with a knife, fatally wounding one of the assailants, the officer, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to media, told Reuters.
According to a report in the Accra-based newspaper the Daily Graphic, cited by Bloomberg, the thief had attacked one of the volunteers with a machete.
Complete international coverage from NBCNews.com
The U.S. Embassy in the capital Accra confirmed that police were investigating an incident involving Peace Corps volunteers.
"They were involved in a safety and security situation in the early hours of Saturday and the police are investigating," embassy spokeswoman Sara Stryker said.
Reuters contributed to this report.

In early February ,I post a need for young boy Abdihakim (cardiac patient).The child have a complex heart lesion and required to undergo open heart surgery. Regarding the case complexity; his mother was advice to proceed to MIOT children cardiac care in India when their relatives sponsored his medical checkup . later diagnosed cardiac heart defect . Due to large sum of money and passing movement, the concern family failed to provide expenses and return him to Dadaab. The pediatric doctors prescribe monthly medication laxis, aldoctone, digoxin and enaril for him but can’t afford, thus subjecting his condition deteriorates tremendously. According to his mother she said his condition worsens because of high temperature in the area and shortage of the medicine. Through the pulse wire journal i posted a need for this young boy, months later i was trace by Turkish Agency to support his surgical expenses .i liaised with his family and the child was taken to turkey( Istanbul) accompanied by his mother and other family members in late may .After seven hours surgery,it was successful! (Alhamdulillah)
Congratulations to the Turkish people and government of turkey and their doctors following the successful open heart surgery and their generous noble heart for sponsoring this child medical expenses and his family upkeep during there stay in Turkey . Same credit goes to world pulse media network for transformation and disseminating public needs with direct impact with people of special needs.

Reverse phone lookup can help you find the owner of a phone number by simply entering the phone number in a search box. The system then searches all listings and retrieves the individual(s) who own the number. It is also be great for people who do not have the caller ID option and use *69 to find the number.
They can simply trace the caller and then lookup the owner online. You will receive the first name or initial and Last name as well as the address and location of the phone number. Usually the number must be a landline to find the owner. Although some search engines will let you know whether it is a landline or a cell phone. Finding the owner of a phone number can also help when threatening calls have been made, you can know direct the call to police who will find the person responsible.
If you are searching for an unlisted number, you may run into problems as the search engine will not be able to find the person or business attached to the number. While this gives the consumer an advantage, some people prefer not to share their number. If the call involves a crime police have a way of finding out what you may not be able to.
In some instances you may come up with several owners of the same number but different area codes. Here you must pay careful attention to the area code preceding the number. Search engines often rely on the White Pages to collect their information so they could be out of date for up to a year until the new White Pages are released.
There is many reasons why you might need to find the owner of a phone number. There is also some sites that will let you look up an address to find the owner and phone details. Perhaps you wrote down a number and address of an old friend and you find the piece of paper with it wrote down. You can simply log onto a Reverse Phone Lookup site and find out the owner.
Emergency Services such as 911 and the police may also use this in the event of a prank call to 911 or something as serious as a bomb threat. It is very useful and people may not know this is available for the police to use. Therefore the law can find the criminal before the crime.
Reverse searches enable quick and efficient information to be relayed to the individual. They can be great if the information given is correct. So, don’t wait. Try out any free cell phone number lookup service and get rid of prank calls right now! | http://worldvillage.com/reverse-cell-phone-lookup-free-of-cost-for-you | 2013-05-18T10:13:19 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
July 27 I guess
Dear Folks
This is a sheet of paper that Miss Treat sent in a letter I just received but I guess she will excuse me for using it to send a few lines home to let you know Im still O.K. Yes, I came out of it all right but let me say I was lucky more than once for we were in it proper this time. Of coarse the papers are full of it now telling the objectives and successes that have all ready been obtained, and as for my own personal experiences (which are a few) I will leave for a latter date when after going back over them Im sure will loom up so that I can better relate them. I want to admit right here that I was not the bravest guy in the world for I wasn’t just where the brave stuff was pulled.
We are now where we left off following up the Hun which is well behind the lines now for they are still going. We don’t know if we are to go right back at them again or not, for here we are just within ear shot of the guns neither going ahead nor back, and being replaced by new men for those that have been knocked off in the recent fighting. For mine I hope it is back for a rest for beleive me we surly nead it after putting in three weeks on this front.
I got Em’s two letters, one telling of your moving to Everett, but for safty I will send this to 297 so it will not get lost. If we go back for a rest you can expect some real letters from me but I can’t promise much while living this life.
It has been raining now for three days and being out in it can’t be called the best of luck. Was very much pleased with Lena’s letter and will answer you bet.

[NEWS] 120508 Super Junior Collaborates with D2O for Summer Comeback
According to the Twitter accounts of Super Junior‘s Siwon and D2O‘s Peter, the recording for Super Junior’s 6th studio album is well under way!
Image Credit: Siwon’s Official Twitter
On May 4, member Siwon updated his Twitter with a selca (“self-captured photo”) and a mention of his latest activities. “Recording our 6th album, after finishing our tight schedule ^^. I finished my schedule in Korea with a lot of energy this time^^.” This is welcome news for Super Junior fans who have been waiting for comeback news since “A-CHA” promotions. This comeback is particularly special since member Kangin will be back on the main line-up after he left in 2009, and then spent two years on active duty in the military.
In other news,at least one track will be produced by One Way subgroup duo,D2O. Members Peter and Youngsky have been dropping hints and teasers about the collaboration since mid-April, and have even promised fans a “party anthem” that will “play all summer”. If recent Hip-Hop/Funk/Rock-and-Roll fusion singles “Amanda” and “Woo Woo Woo” are any indication, we can safely look forward to a get-you-out-of-your-seat summer track from Super Junior with a D2O twist. Super Junior’s fanclub, E.L.F., better get their dancing shoes ready.
Summer is right around the corner, so keep your eyes peeled for details surrounding the album concept, the tracklist and the music video!

TIFFIN
More than any other word, tiffin, meaning lunch or any light meal, evokes British India.
It entered the language at the very beginning of the nineteenth century, perhaps because the English fashion for eating dinner mid-afternoon was giving way under the influence of the Indian climate to a main meal taken later in the day, requiring a lighter midday meal and a name for it. Why the much older luncheon wasn’t used isn’t clear. Instead, the English in India borrowed tiffing, an old English dialect or slang word for taking a little drink or sip. (I forbear from suggesting that the habit among some sahibs of drinking their lunch had something to do with the popularity of the term.) The word is still widely used in India for any hot light meal or snack taken at any time during the day.
In Mumbai (formerly Bombay), the term tiffin-wallah is sometimes heard, though the more common term is dabbawallah. Lunches are cooked at home by workers’ wives and then transported, often by train, perhaps 20 or 30 miles to their husbands' workplaces, each three-tiered tiffin-carrier or dabba probably passing through several hands in a sophisticated and efficient cooperative process. Those who deliver the meals by bicycle on the final stage of their journeys are the tiffin-wallahs or dabbawallahs.
An early example of tiffin is from a guide book, Cordiner’s Ceylon, of 1808: “Many persons are in the habit of sitting down to a repast at one o’clock, which is called tiffen, and is in fact an early dinner”. | http://worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-tif1.htm | 2013-05-18T10:52:14 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The grant comes from the Bill Malcom fund which was established in memory of the Athens resident when he died last February.
Urano says it was created by the Athens Foundation, his parents Paul "Scott" and Marjorie Malcom, along with friends and relatives to help people with disabilities. "The fund was established for this project, so Bill's father is a member of Rotary and was familiar with the project. And when we set the fund up at the very beginning, we knew that the money was going to go to help this really good project that rotary's doing," Urano explained.
The total project cost is $125,000 so Urano says it will be built in two or three phases as the money comes in. "Donations have come from the community, from members of rotary, from our district rotary club will match what the local raises, and I know they're doing a lot of grant writing. They have gotten some grants to help with the project," she says.
The rotary's goal is to create a play environment for every child, regardless of physical or social boundaries. | http://woub.org/2011/10/17/rotary-receives-grant-money-playground-project | 2013-05-18T10:33:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

It took one play, normally routine, for Gallia Academy High School to steal the momentum and never give it back. At the end of the game, the Gallia Academy Blue Devils improved to a 3-2 record with a 40-12 victory over the Vinton County Vikings.
After jumping out to a 20-0 lead with three straight touchdowns over the Vikings, Gallia Academy took their foot off the gas pedal for the second quarter. It would take half of the quarter for Gallia to make another big move. With an interception by Cody Call off of Andy Long of Vinton County, the Blue Devils finally took back full control.
Following the interception, Gallia Academy faced a third-and-5 at the opponent’s 44 when they took control. After bunching together and pushing most of the Viking defenders into the box, Logan Allison went into motion, took a hand-off to the right with three blockers leading his way. Facing limited defenders, he was able to juke and break a few tackles for a 30-yard gain.
The drive hit a speed bump when running back Cody Russell took the ball right with a similar look as Logan Allison. He would make it into the end zone, but a block in the back penalty negated the touchdown. It wouldn’t matter as quarterback Wade Jarrell kept the ball on an option and made his way to the one-yard line. Nick Clagg pounded it in for the touchdown and the 27-0 lead for the Blue Devils.
Vinton County finally hit their stride with 2:30 left in the first half. On the first play of their final drive of the first half was a completion to the left side to Dillon Acord on a screen pass. Acord made it past the defenders for a huge 72-yard play taking it to the four-yard line.
The Vikings would be held to fourth-and-inches, and after a time-out they stacked along the goal line. Long took the snap and immediately fell behind his left guard to score the touchdown. They failed to make anything happen on the two-point conversion.
After a 27-6 halftime lead for the Gallia Academy Blue Devils, they would just continue to pile it on. With 103 points scored in their past two games combined, Gallia will look to continue their momentum into conference play starting next week. | http://woub.org/2012/09/21/gallia-academy-sinks-vinton-county | 2013-05-18T10:13:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
With the new patch, bear tanking has changed heavily. I had my new ally druid up to 75 before the patch, and after reading up on doing my new spec tree, I set myself up, tried to tank with the changes made, and couln't tank multiple mobs at all!
I knew I couldn't spam swipe and maul (gyph of maul rocked) anymore, and tried everything I could. I looked at the Druid must read thread, and was wondering, what are you guys doing to tank multiple mobs? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I'm perfectly fine when tanking a single big mob, it's when you have to tank five or so smaller mobs at the same time that I have problems with threat going all over the place. It makes it hard to keep AoE spammers safe.
Again, any advice that can make me better, I'd really appreciate!
Thank You!

I was just in the Main FFXI Forum and read a post about someone leaving because the Forum has become stagnant(repeat posts, ppl not using search. etc). Personally I really dont have a problem with ppl posting repeat subjects. In my mind I just tell myself they are:
1. New to the forum, and dont know search exists (hell, I'm
new to it myself and didnt use search until recently.)
2. Lazy and just dont want to search(not really an
excuse but I understand what we all get lazy.)
Anyhow I was sad to see this person go as I enjoyed many of their posts. For any of you that care to respond I'd be glad to hear your opinions on this as well. | http://wow.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=28&mid=1083690613820826549&p=1 | 2013-05-18T10:35:28 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

This was a really good book. It was (in my opinion, duh, I'm the one writing this) much better than Stormrage, and hearkens back to the success of the War of the Ancients Trilogy. I won't even mention the atrocity that was Night of the Dragon.
If you worry this will be a piece of crap, don't worry! It's a GOOD BOOK.

Hit 80 on my paladin today. As near as I can tell, this is my fastest to 80 ever by a lot - 6 days, 38 minutes played time. (So close to being under 6 days too...)
I'm now debating the next toon to level to 80 - either mage, rogue, or shaman. I did a little poll of my guild, and they're vote seemed to be for the rogue, but I haven't actually leveled a caster since my very first toon, so personally, I'm sort of leaning toward the mage.
Feel free to vote in the comment section!
Everyone keeps telling me how much massive fun Rogues are though, so it's tempting.
A Blast From The Past

Congrats on your new 80! :)
Go for the mage. It'll give you a deeper understanding of what they can do, plus, they're hella fun to play. You'll probably be told to go Arcane, but try out Frost as a dual spec. Once you get the Water elemental, leveling gets a whole lot easier.
I've been playing my mage like a hunter in a way. I have a macro that does
/petattack
/cast frostbolt
so I can hit it to have the elemental go to attack Furbolgs in Felwood, round them up, then I go in the middle of them, Arcane Blast, Frost Nova, then hop away and hit Blizzard to kill all of them before they can reach me. Ice Shield also boosts your survivability a ton. | http://wowaltaddiction.blogspot.com/2010/02/ding-level-80-5.html?showComment=1266437077806 | 2013-05-18T10:53:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Chloé SS2011
New York City Ballet‘s prima ballerina Janie Taylor beautifully models the Chloé Spring Summer 2011 collection with choreographer and dancer Justin Peck.
The video project was a collaboration between the company’s Lincoln Center studio and The Block Magazine and does a very good job of highlighting the complimentary nature of the pieces worn by Taylor.
The dresses ebb and flow in perfect unison with each of her steps, twirls and dips… Makes sense. The collection was, after all, inspired by classical ballet.
Creatively speaking, the video is a bit… literal. Ballet inspired peices showcased by… a ballerina! But as it seems we’re going to ride the ballet loving train until it has been riden into oblivion, I guess a nod can be given to the legit dancing, the legit ballerina and the legit setting.
It is a very pretty video. | http://wrgmag.com/chloe-ss2011/ | 2013-05-18T10:13:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

A while back, we told you about Yext Advertising, a new way for small businesses to be found online through local search. At the time, Yext was offering highlighted listings on some of the top local directories – all managed from one single Yext dashboard – for $99.95 per month. Well now, Yext has tweaked their platform and is offering what they are calling PowerListings.
Yext’s PowerListings
According to Yext,
PowerListings™ are premium listings on local search websites, mobile and navigation devices, centrally controlled by the Yext PowerListings system. With PowerListings, your local search results are enhanced with description, photographs, other rich content, and a highlighted Special Offer. PowerListings are available on leading local search sites like Yahoo!, MapQuest, and Yelp and mobile apps such as Foursquare, HopStop and Co-Pilot.
The price for these PowerListings is $499.00 per year. You can create and manage your listings on all of the Yext partners in the single Yext dashboard – so it is quite a time saver. As anyone who has created listings on online directories knows, it is a very time consuming process. So is the price worth what you get?
Yext Reviews
Recognized local SEO expert Mike Blumenthal conducted a very thorough review of Yext’s PowerListings platform, which rather than repeat here we strongly suggest that your read. Through his personal experience using Yext PowerListings for two clients, he concluded that the time saved and the efficiencies gained provided a real value, but many small businesses will likely find the cost too prohibitive. Yext works best for businesses that can recoup their cost from a single, or couple of, transactions generated by the service. He thought this was a valuable service that is probably a good option for some, but not all types of, businesses.
We agree with Mike. While Yext may not be the best solution for smaller mom and pop type businesses, it could prove very well for businesses such as wedding and event venues, lawyers, jewelers, car dealers, web developers and the like whose return on investment from one or two transactions could be great. | http://writeonpointseo.com/wordpress/tag/yext | 2013-05-18T10:53:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The Bait
Poem: "The Bait" by John Donne.
In 1952 on this date, William Shawn succeeded Harold Ross, who had recently died, as editor of The New Yorker. Shawn would serve as editor for 35 years, until being ousted by the magazine's new owner, S.I. Newhouse, in 1987.
It's the birthday of tenor Placido Domingo [PLAHTH-ee-doh doh-MING-go], born in Madrid (1941). As a boy he moved to Mexico with his family, where he studied piano and conducting at the National Conservatory of Music. His New York singing debut came in 1966.
It's the birthday of poet, novelist, and playwright David Stefansson, born in Fagriskogur, Iceland (1895). He spent most of his life in the small town of Akureyri [ah-kyure-AY- ree], where he worked as a librarian for 27 years. His books include Black Feathers (1919), Greetings (1924), and Among Human Habitations (1933).
It's the birthday of singer and songwriter 'Leadbelly ' (Huddie William Ledbetter), born in Mooringsport, Louisiana (1885). Serving a murder sentence in Texas, he was pardoned by the Governor, who had heard him sing during a prison visit. Six years later, he was back in prisonthis time in Louisianafor attempted murder; John and Alan Lomax organized his release. He died penniless, 6 months before his song "Goodnight Irene" became a million-record hit for the Weavers. His other songs include "The Midnight Special" and "The Rock Island Line."
It's the birthday of Confederate general 'Stonewall' (Thomas Jonathan) Jackson, born in Clarksburg, Virginia (1824). Robert E. Lee's most brilliant general in the Civil War, he was admired for his tactics of rapid movement and surpriseoften even his own officers didn't know his plans until ordered to strike. After he and Lee defeated a larger Union force at Chancellorsville (in May of 1863), he was accidentally shot by his own troops, at dusk, as he rode his horse back from the frontand died, 39 years old.
It's the birthday of explorer John Charles Fremont [FREE-mont], born in Savannah, Georgia (1813). With Kit Carson, he mapped out much of the territory between the Mississippi and the Pacific.

Politics
Hanna and Lamb square off in first debate.
At times the two seemed to agree, having similar opinions on issues like women's reproductive rights and foreign policy. But they sparred a few times on the topic of partisanship in Congress.
They also fielded a question or two neither candidate admittedly was prepared for, like future spending for the country's space program.
Hanna, a former construction business owner, said he is open to raising taxes on the wealthier Americans, but he thinks the income cutoff should be higher ($500,000) than the one being pushed for by Democrats ($250,000).
"We need to focus on the middle class. I’m not opposed to raising taxes on certain people. I’ve never thought otherwise, never said otherwise," he said. He then hit on a recurring theme of putting more investment into high-tech education: "And if some of that money can go into raising the middle class through education, I’m there."
Lamb, who is a former long-time aide of retiring Democratic congressman Maurice Hinchey, echoed a similar sentiment.
"I do believe tax cuts can have a simulative impact on the economy," he told the roughly 100 people in attendance. "And I’m not in favor of raising taxes on the middle income, low income people in this country."
The two also went back and forth on health care reform, which Congress has voted to repeal 30 times.
"The idea that we’d go back to the bad old days where you could have a lifetime cap on how much health insurance you could receive; if you had a serious medical condition, you’d reach a limit and you’d be out of luck, that’s not the type of country we are," Lamb said.
Hanna told the crowd that certain measures of the Affordable Care Act were good - like eliminating pre-existing conditions - but that the bill could be made better. He supports replacing the current law.
"My job is also to replace it with something that we can all agree on, that’s manageable and affordable. This bill does nothing," he said. "It pretends that it will someday, but it doesn’t now."
New taxes on medical device makers like Welch Allyn, as well as no changes to doctor malpractice insurance, were areas Hanna raised for reform.
Here are some other issues the two candidates discussed:
Fracking
Lamb, who has a background in environmental studies, is strongly opposed to natural gas extraction being approved in the state.
"I don't believe we have discovered the necessary amount of information to secure its safety," he said.
Meanwhile Hanna backed Gov. Andrew Cuomo's stance - and review process.
"I think absolutely it should be based on the science. I have not supported it, nor am I against it," he said.
Medicare
Lamb is not in favor of turning Medicare into a voucher system, saying "don't mess" with Medicare. Hanna said he is concerned about passing the debt on to children and has voted for the "Ryan Budget."
Social Security
Both candidates said they do not support privatization of Social Security. Hanna called for raising the age limit for receiving benefits.
Economy
Hanna told the audience the economic stimulus was wasted. He said more money should be invested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education as a way to make people better prepared for high-tech jobs.
Lamb said there have been too much inaction in congress on the economy and contends Hanna actually has voted to cut STEM funding. He also says tax reform will help boost the economy.
Hanna and Lamb are scheduled to meet two more times, including October 25 in Rome, before the November 6 election.
The new 22nd district encompasses all of Cortland, Madison, Chenango and Oneida Counties. It also makes up most of Broome County and the eastern half of Oswego County. Registered Republicans outnumber Democrats in the district.

By Julian Linden
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Former Super Bowl winning head coach Bill Parcells was among seven men voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Parcells was joined by six former players, including three first-time nominees, to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, the greatest individual honor in the sport.
Offensive linemen Larry Allen and Jonathan Ogden and defensive tackle Warren Sapp all were elected in their first year of being nominated while wide receiver Cris Carter, defensive tackle Curley Culp and linebacker Dave Robinson were voted in after missing out previously.
The seven men will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame in August. They were selected by a group of 44 voters from a pool of 17 nominees.
The panel spent more than eight hours to reach their decision and spent an hour alone debating whether to include Parcells, who led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl titles in a 19-year coaching career where he coached four teams, all to the playoffs.
"This is long overdue," Giants co-owner John Mara said in a statement.
"He's one of the best coaches in NFL history. He turned our franchise around. We went through a long period in the 1960s and 70s when we were a laughing stock.
"When Bill took over in 1983 he survived a very difficult first year, but then turned us into a perennial playoff contender and won two Super Bowls for us."
Allen was a member of the NFL's All-Decade Teams of the 1990s and 2000s and earned first-team All-Pro honors six straight times in his 14 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
Ogden became the first Baltimore Ravens player to be elected to the Hall of Fame. He was also the Ravens' first-ever draft pick after the franchise was moved from Cleveland to Baltimore and his election came just one day before the Ravens face the 49ers in Sunday's 47th Super Bowl.
Sapp recorded 96.5 sacks in his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders to join Allen and Ogden as the third player to be voted straight in.
"Warren played the game with incredible ability and passion. He was a leader on one of the best defenses in NFL history and helped to redefine the defensive tackle position," said Buccaneers Co-Chairman Bryan Glazer.
"It is a fitting honor that he will be recognized as one of the greatest to ever play, and we could not be happier for him."
Carter scored 130 touchdowns in a 16-year NFL career with Philadelphia, Minnesota and Miami.
A ferocious defender, Culp spent 14 seasons in the NFL with Kansas City, Houston and Detroit and was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1975.
Robinson played for the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins and was a vital cog in Vince Lombardi's tough Packers' defenses

The College of Business at West Texas A&M University offers a Master of Science in Finance and Economics (MSFE). A program like this is offered at few other schools in the United States. We are able to offer the degree at West Texas A&M University because our economics and finance programs reside in the same department. The MSFE is designed for students who want to improve their understanding of economics and finance, particularly those interested in or already working in: (1) Finance institutions and finance departments in business and government; (2) Policy-oriented and community service occupations in the private and public sectors; (3) Economic and financial consulting and advising; (4) Teaching at the high school, community college, or instructor level; (5) Preparation for law school or doctorate programs in economics, finance, management, or marketing. The program's orientation toward application as opposed to theory enhances opportunities for graduates in a broad range of occupations and institutions. The program places strong emphasis on corporate governance and ethics which includes recognition of FIN 5311 by MBAprograms.org in the article, "10 Online MBA Finance Courses." (24 graduate hours)
Additional Requirements:
Twelve semester hours of graduate elective courses in economics or finance (excluding leveling courses ACCT 6300, ECON 6300, FIN 6300, or CIDM 6300).
Upon completion of all course work for the MSFE degree, the student will be required to take a comprehensive written and/or oral exam covering the core courses and the area of specialization selected by the student.

MAC Steve Wynn - retains a murky underbelly where dubious money transfers are commonplace and the shadow of triad gangs still hangs.
Triads, or Chinese organized crime societies, remain a vital cog in the gambling industry, as intermediaries and junket operators - recruiting and transporting high-rollers and offering credit and recovering debts around the highly lucrative VIP gaming rooms.
The leading junkets make billions of dollars from Macau's gambling industry, bringing in over 70 percent of total gambling revenue - which has soared to $33.5 billion, five times that of Las Vegas, from just $1.7 billion in Wan's heyday. As the money has rolled in, the junket operators have diversified into movies, property and stockbroking.
The once monopolistic casino empire of gambling tycoon Stanley Ho has opened up to the Las Vegas big-hitters, but Wan's 14K triad, its branches and rival gangs are still active in Macau, say people close to the industry.
"The triads retain some kind of influence in the majority of the VIP rooms," said a security executive at one of Macau's leading casinos, who was not authorized to speak to the media. "We know there's influence because we see them around the casino floor, inside the VIP rooms. It's not an offence. Unless the police can prove money laundering, they can stay there."
TAKING NO CHANCES
It's not known whether Wan - who was jailed for more than 14 years for attempted murder, loan sharking and money laundering - will return to the business.
Wan's family members, lawyers and former associates declined to comment on his plans, though his brother Kuok-hung - himself jailed for five years in 1999 - has carved out a career in the VIP junket business. Wan was visited in jail by his brother and mother earlier this week.
While few predict Wan's release from the high-security Coloane Prison will spark a return to Macau's darker days, the authorities are taking no chances.
Last weekend, a number of Wan's former associates were arrested in a sting operation on suspicion of planning to commit murder. One of those picked up was former police officer Artur Chiang Calderon, who was first arrested in 1998 with Wan over a string of bomb attacks and bloody gang wars.
"We are well equipped to handle all situations," a spokeswoman for Macau's judiciary police said, amid local media reports of tightened security and vigilance at casinos.
"This is Beijing. They want to send a strong message by doing this," said a senior casino executive.
Kenny Leong, chief executive of Nasdaq-listed Asia Entertainment and Resources Ltd and one of Macau's leading VIP gambling room promoters, did not expect much impact from Wan's freedom. "Things are completely different now. Everything is more professionally managed," he said.
"It's a different era from before. Right now, the time is not hitting and killing."
Wan, a stocky man with often garish sartorial taste, is said to be unable to straighten the middle two fingers of one hand after being mangled by meat cleavers in a street fight. Locals say he was a common sight, driving around Macau in a mauve Ferrari.
"He was very, very influential in his time," said a former head of criminal intelligence in the Hong Kong police force, who specialized in anti-triad enforcement. "He was influential because of fear. He was extremely violent and took over a lot of businesses in a violent manner."
Earlier this week, a new, white Toyota Vellfire spacewagon pulled out of a gated compound and wound its way up to the heavily-fortified hilltop prison, where a stylish lady with long hair and dark glasses stepped out with a shy-looking, bespectacled teenage son wearing sneakers.
After an hour-long visit, Wan's wife and son declined comment when asked by Reuters how they felt about being reunited as a family. "I have nothing to say," said Wan's wife.

German Education Minister Annette Schavan (L) talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel during a session of the Bundestag, the German lower house of parliament, in Berlin October 18, 2012. REUTERS/Thomas Peter
By Annika Breidthardt
BERLIN (Reuters) - German Education Minister Annette Schavan has done her friend Angela Merkel a good turn by quitting, sparing the chancellor months of distraction in an election year that has already got off to a bad start.
Having been stripped of her doctorate over allegations she copied parts of her thesis 33 years ago, Schavan stepped down on Saturday, saving Merkel the prospect of her friend's fate overshadowing more than seven months of election campaigning.
The scandal had already begun to hurt the popularity of Merkel, which has survived earlier high-profile resignations. A poll conducted on Thursday - two days before Schavan's exit - indicated 62 percent of Germans felt the affair was damaging Merkel and her party; among CDU supporters it was 68 percent.
Schavan said she would take legal action against the university that voided her title but did not want to do damage to her ministry.
"Whatever the outcome of such proceedings, (Merkel) would (have been) confronted with these allegations throughout the whole election campaign," political scientist Gero Neugebauer said before Schavan stepped down.
Merkel had already got off to a bad start to 2013. Her Christian Democrats (CDU) lost control of Lower Saxony in January despite fielding a popular candidate, who, like Merkel herself, was seen as his party's greatest electoral asset.
Opposition politicians say Lower Saxony marked a turning point in polls. Since then, the Social Democrats have climbed slightly towards 30 percent while the Christian Democrats are inching down towards 40 percent.
Merkel's problems also include poor poll results for her junior coalition partner, the Free Democrats, and a budget row in Stuttgart over a planned new train station.
DIGNIFIED EXIT
Media poke fun at Merkel for the five cabinet reshuffles in her second four-year term, saying that expressing "full confidence" in a minister - a term used by Merkel's spokesman on Wednesday - usually meant he or she would step down within days.
But the dignity Merkel allowed Schavan in her exit is likely to have helped the chancellor herself.
Merkel faced the press together with her friend, unlike in previous resignations, and appeared unusually emotional, praising Schavan and not mentioning the plagiarism charges.
Even opposition politicians lauded Schavan's achievements as minister and there was widespread agreement that Schavan's move was "unfortunately right", according to one newspaper headline.
"Schavan is a highly decent and competent colleague whose fate I am exceptionally sorry about," SPD leader Sigmar Gabriel was quoted as saying.
On Sunday, Berlin's chattering class had already turned its attention to the next political scandal.
Prosecutors have opened preliminary proceedings against Gregor Gysi, a key figure in the Left Party's campaign, over allegations he lied about links to the former East German secret police, a claim he has fought repeatedly over two decades.
In the end, Merkel's biggest concern may be "plagiarism hunters" investigating her own thesis. The founder of internet platform "SchavanPlag" has said he has been offered money if he finds mistakes in Merkel's doctoral thesis.

CIARAN GILES
Associated Press
MADRID (AP) -- Rectors from about 50 state-run universities across Spain protested Monday that government spending cuts were choking third-level education and would set back the country's recovery.
The academic leaders each read out a statement simultaneously saying the university system was under threat and cutbacks in research would lead to an "irreparable deterioration" in the system.
Under the 2013 budget, funding for universities has been cut by 18 percent and research funds by 80 percent.
"Without investment in higher education or research and development, the functioning of public universities will become unviable, and without knowledge there will be no progress," the rectors said. "It's not just the universities that lose, we all lose, the whole of society."
Spain is in the throes of its second recession in three years and a 25 percent unemployment rate.
The conservative government's policies have brought labor unions and associations representing nearly every sector of society out onto the streets to protests in recent months.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said he has no choice but to implement the measures if the country is to reduce its bloated deficit and avoid a full-blown sovereign bailout.
Earlier on Monday, Spain saw its secondary market borrowing costs -- a measure of investor wariness -- begin to rise again as market jitters spread following Italian Premier Mario Monti's announcement that he plans to resign.
The rate for Spain's benchmark 10-year bond rose to almost 6 percent in opening trading, although it later edged back to 5.5 percent. The yield had dropped to 5.3 percent last week.
Spain and Italy are among the countries in Europe that investors worry about the most.
"When doubts arise about the stability of a country close to us like Italy, which is also seen as vulnerable, it has an immediate contagion effect on us," Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos told Spanish National Radio.. got born.

Kyle Frazier moved to Roanoke in early July.
He's a financial services rep in the local office of a nationally known company.
You could say that Frazier, 24, is exactly the kind of "young professional" this city has anguished so much about attracting to Roanoke and keeping here.
But a recent anonymous letter he received was anything but welcoming.
It was snobby and pretentious. It even invited Frazier to move -- out of South Roanoke, anyway.
His offense?
Grilling on the covered front porch of the house where he rents an apartment. It's in the 2300 block of Jefferson Street a few blocks south of Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
The letter was from an apparently fictitious organization: Keep South Roanoke Beautiful, Inc.
Bob Clement, the Roanoke's neighborhood services coordinator, has never heard of it. Neither has Bill Thomasson, president of the legitimate community group Neighbors in South Roanoke.
It was addressed to "occupant" at Frazier's address. Here's how it went:
"Apparently you are new to our lovely South Roanoke neighborhood. I passed by your residence last week and could not help but notice that you were grilling in your front yard. Please be advised that it is not the proper thing to do in this neighborhood. In the future, please do your grilling and 'chilling' in the back yard ... that would come under the heading of 'common courtesy'!!!"
There was more.
"Also, storage of your grill should be in your back yard -- not your front yard."
And more.
"We can't help but wonder where you lived before if you think the practices that you have been displaying are acceptable.
"Please join us in keeping our neighborhood beautiful."
And the kicker:
"If you do not wish to honor our un-written[sic] code -- maybe you should find some other neighborhood to call home."
When I read the letter to Clement, in the neighborhood services office, his reaction was: "Oh my. I am floored."
Thomasson gasped, "You're kidding. Oh my God." He asked for a copy to take to Tuesday's neighborhood meeting.
For the record, Frazier moved here from Lynchburg, where he lived in that city's tony Peakland neighborhood.
No, he did not grill on the front porch there. The grill was out back, by the pool -- of the dorm he was a house parent for at Virginia Episcopal School.
The offensive cookout was a small gathering on Aug. 22, Frazier said.
That Saturday afternoon, a couple of pals drove over from Lynchburg. Frazier also invited three young women he'd met who live up the street.
"It was probably six or seven people. We were just sitting out on the front patio cooking up some burgers. It was a very conversational, little party. We weren't going crazy or anything," Frazier told me.
"I had a couple people walk by and say, 'Oh, that smells good!' I said, 'Well, come on by.' "
In other words, he was being neighborly.
That's the exact opposite of the haughty, condescending missive, dated Aug. 24, that arrived later.
At first, Frazier felt a little embarrassed. And then a bit miffed.
He moved his small, $40 charcoal grill behind one of the porch pillars where it is concealed.
He took the letter to work and showed it to a couple of supervisors -- who live in South Roanoke.
"They were like, 'You need to put pink flamingoes out in your front yard.' "
That is one great idea.
Here's another one, for the anonymous letter writer from the phony "Keep South Roanoke Beautiful, Inc."
Why don't you mind your own business?
Otherwise, folks are going to begin calling you "Keep South Roanoke Snobby, Inc." | http://ww2.roanoke.com/columnists/casey/wb/220413/ | 2013-05-18T10:23:02 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Loneliness can turn ugly people into soul mates and landscapes into best friends. Such is the affliction driving the three main characters of Clearcut, Nina Shengold's atmospheric yet one-dimensional debut novel. It's what motivates Earley to pick up a hitchhiker named Reed, and the pair to find Zan, a nomadic, spunky woman running from her past.
And loneliness is what brings these three together in a twisting love triangle. Earley falls for Reed's girlfriend, Zan, who insists on an open relationship. Then violence erupts after a nosy neighbor discovers the threesome's unconventional arrangement.
Characterization beyond cliché is quickly scrapped, as in the following exchange that occurs after Earley discovers that Zan ran away from home in her teens:
"Sixteen in Mexico. What did you do about money?"
"I lived," said Zan. She picked up Reed's beer bottle, draining the dregs. Earley waited for her to say more, but she didn't.
Just as well. While one purposefully one-dimensional character can be a sexy, intriguing way to advance a plot, a novel stocked only with such characters-the rough-living Earley, the sensitive-and-intelligent Reed, the vivacious-yet-vulnerable Zan-falls flat.
Shengold's background as a playwright may explain her overuse of dialogue or lack of subplots; while this terseness makes for steady pacing, it cheats Clearcut of the opportunity to explore the characters through any of the ways that distinguish a novel from a play.
The most substantial character in Clearcut is the small town of Forks, Wash., and the beautifully wrought Pacific Northwest landscape itself emerges with such life that even the cedars and rivers seem to breathe on their own. By the end of the novel, the characters' attraction to each other remains inexplicable, yet readers will feel an affinity for Shengold's hopelessly romantic descriptions and fall in love with the novel's lush setting. | http://wweek.com/portland/article-4691-clearcut.html | 2013-05-18T10:22:34 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Lyudmila Vsevolodovna Keldysh was born in Orenburg, a city in western Russia on the Ural River. Her. This noble background presented some problems in post-Revolution Russia. The family were quite well off and, because of the nature of Vsevolod Mikhailovich's work, he travelled between many different towns. He lectured at several Technical Institutes and later was involved in the design and construction of the Moscow Metro and the Moscow-Volga canal. Lyudmila Vsevolodovna was the oldest of her parents seven children. All the children were taught German and French by their mother who also gave them a love of music. Of Lyudmila Vsevolodovna's six younger brothers and sisters we mention in particular Mstislav Vsevolodovich Keldysh, born in Riga in 1911, who became a famous mathematician and has a biography in this archive, and Yurii Vsevolodovich Keldysh who became a musicologist.
Lyudmila Vsevolodovna spent time in several different cities as the family moved around. They were in Helsinki in 1905 and St Petersburg in 1907. By 1909 they were in Riga where Vsevolod Mikhailovich lectured at the Polytechnic Institute. since the parents loved classical music they often attended concerts in the city. After these concerts, they had no alternative but to make their way home on foot, a journey of several miles. Lyudmila recalled the difficult times in Losinoostrovskaya, remembering one day when her mother fed the whole family just fried onions, having no other food. She completed her school education in Ivanovo-Voznesensk, a city about 250 km northeast of Moscow. The family had moved there towards the end of 1918 when Vsevolod Mikhailovich began teaching at the Polytechnic Institute - this Institute was joined to the Riga Polytechnic Institute. However, he often returned to Moscow to work on engineering projects.
Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin gave a lecture in Ivanovo-Voznesensk which Lyudmila Keldysh and other high school pupils attended. This lecture firmly established in Keldysh's mind that she wanted to study mathematics and, if possible, become a professional mathematician like Luzin. He had been appointed as Professor of Pure Mathematics at Moscow State University in 1917 and, by the time he gave the lecture, had built an impressive research group with students P S Aleksandrov, M Ya Suslin, D E Menshov and A Ya Khinchin. Keldysh enrolled in the Physics and Mathematics Department at Moscow State University and graduated in 1925. She had joined Luzin's research seminar in 1923, the same year as Petr Sergeevich Novikov joined the research group. The authors of [4] describe Keldysh in the family's Moscow apartment (where they moved in 1923):-
Young people often gathered at the father's family home. They were mainly friends of the oldest daughter, Lyudmila, students and postdoctoral fellows, mathematicians, among whom were P S Novikov (her future husband), P S Aleksandrov, A N Kolmogorov, I V Arnol'd (who would become a known mathematician and the father of a future member of the Academy of Sciences) and others. There were also musicians, friends of the son Yurii. There were games, laughter, and serious conversations. The strong personality of Lyudmila Keldysh influenced the people around her. Her brother Mstislav, a future president of the Academy, followed her advice when he chose mathematics against the desire of his father that he should become a construction engineer, like his father.
Her first important mathematical result did not appear in one of her own publications [11]:-
Her name became known after her initial result, which was first published in 1930 in Luzin's lecture notes [Leçons sur les ensembles analytiques et leurs applications (1930)]. This was a construction of an arithmetic example (using continued fractions) of a set belonging to the fourth Borel class. It was the first significant advance in the study of the Borel classification since the first non-trivial example of a third-class set was given by Baire in 1905.
From 1930 to 1934 Lyudmila Keldysh taught at the Moscow Aviation Institute. Her first son Leonid Veniaminovich Keldysh, from a first marriage, was born in April 1931 - he became a famous physicist and member of the USSR Academy of Sciences. She continued working in Luzin's research group and also began working at the V A Steklov Mathematical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences as soon as it moved from St Petersburg to Moscow around 1934. It was in 1934 that her first papers were published: On the Homeomorphism of Canonical Elements of the 3rd Class; On Simple Functions of Class a; and On the Structure of B Measurable Functions of Class a. She married P S Novikov, her second marriage, in 1935 but these were difficult years. Joseph Stalin had begun his attacks on the peasants in 1928 but in 1934 he launched an even more terrifying purge of party members who he considered his rivals. Several members of Keldysh's family became victims - an uncle on her mother's side and his son were murdered. Her mother was arrested and her father was held for questioning in 1935 but both were released. However, for a long time after this the family lived in fear, terrified if their doorbell rang in the evening. Over the next few years Keldysh and Novikov had two sons, Andrei Petrovich and Sergei Petrovich (born 1938). Both became famous mathematicians but Andrei Petrovich, who was an expert in algebraic number theory, died at a young age. Sergei Petrovich Novikov won a Fields Medal and, naturally, has a biography in this archive.
Keldysh continued to undertake research on the structure of Borel sets and in 1941 she defended her doctoral thesis Structure of B-Sets (Russian). This 76-page thesis was published in 1945, the delay being due to German invasion of Russia during World War II. Although World War II started in September 1939 with the German invasion of Poland, this had little effect in Moscow. However, on 22 June 1941 the German armies invaded their former allies pushing rapidly east into Soviet lands. At first their main advance was aimed towards Moscow and evacuations took place. We give a fairly long quote from [4] where Keldysh's struggle over the next few years is vividly described:-
On the critical day of 16 October 1941, she had to leave Moscow with her three sons. The oldest, Leonid ..., was ten years old and the youngest, Sergei, three. It was the last possibility to get on the train going eastward from Moscow (although nobody could tell to what town). Only with the help of Kolmogorov, who presented them as members of his own family, did they succeed at the last moment in finding room on the train carrying away the academic institutes. First they appeared in Gorkii, then several days later they arrived in Kazan on the Volga river. Here the evacuated institutes of the Academy of Sciences were settled. However, Keldysh and her children did not have the status of evacuees but only of refugees. They were without belongings, without warm clothes for the winter, without the guarantee of lodging, practically without any means to exist. They eventually found a roof over their heads: they were put up in the large gym of Kazan University together with several hundred similar refugees. A month later Novikov arrived in Kazan; he was ill and in grave condition. They were given a room in the hall of the student dormitory. Surgery was recommended for Novikov; the doctors were not sure about its outcome. Keldysh spent the next several months of the cold and hungry winter of 1941 and spring of 1942 between the room in the dormitory, where the children were awaiting her, and the hospital, where she nursed her husband. The distance was approximately 10 km and there was no transportation in this district of Kazan. The daily ration per person was then 300 grams of bread and a teaspoon of granulated sugar. The money in the family was only enough to buy a sack of coarse-ground rye flour at the market once a month. This flour, cooked in water and called zatirka, became the main meal of the family for the next two years. After they returned to Moscow, life got better little by little.
After returning to Moscow, two daughters were born. The elder daughter was Nina, the younger being Elena who went on to study humanities and taught French and Portuguese at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. The end of World War II marks a time of change of topic for Keldysh who moved from her research in set theory to look at more topological topics. First she published the paper Sur la structure des ensembles mesurables B (1944) which summarised her very considerable contributions to the structure of sets of higher Borel class. A Russian monograph published in 1945 also gave a detailed description of the results she had obtained over several years concerning the classification of Borel sets in the space of irrational numbers lying in (0, 1). Then she published the paper Open mappings of A-sets (Russian) in 1945 which in some sense bridges the gap between her set theoretical work and her topological research. Over the next few years she published papers such as Continuous Mappings of a Zero-Dimensional Compact Set (1947) and Continuous Mappings of a Segment onto an n-Dimensional Cube (1949). This research, looking at Peano curves, was motivated by a conjecture by Pavel Sergeevich Aleksandrov, the head of the Moscow topology seminar.
Sergei Adian writes in [2] about Keldysh at this time:-
At home Lyudmila Vsevolodovna was a real homemaker. She successfully combined domestic concerns with her fruitful scientific work. There was a rare mutual understanding between them in all questions, scientific or worldly. [She and her husband Petr Sergeevich Novikov] had a very simple lifestyle in the family, no excesses, simple furniture, only interesting pictures on the walls, and warm human relations. Petr Sergeevich and Lyudmila Vsevolodovna were enthusiastic about literature, both Russian and foreign. After lunch or after supper, a relaxed discussion of new publications usually sprang up, often with the participation of guests.
In the late 1950s Keldysh organised her famous seminar on geometric topology, concentrating in particular on topological embeddings, at the V A Steklov Mathematical Institute. In 1964 she was appointed as a professor at Moscow State University. She published the book Topological imbeddings into Euclidean space (Russian) in 1966 which she wrote to help her research students gain the necessary background to enable them to read current papers on the topics discussed in her seminar. In the same year she published the paper Topological embeddings in Euclidean space writing in the Introduction:-
Here we give an account of the work on geometric topology which has been carried out in our seminar at the Steklov Institute (Moscow). It can be divided into three parts: structure of the homeomorphism group of Rn and locally flat embeddings of manifolds in Rn; topological embeddings of manifolds, polyhedra and compacta in Rn; monotone mappings of manifolds.
Indeed her seminar proved very important in the development of mathematics in Russia and it continued until 1974. One of her students, A V Chernavskii, who was the author or joint author of nine of the articles referenced below, wrote about the L V Keldysh seminar when he joined it in the early 1970s:-
... we began to organize our workshops systematically in various parts of the Moscow countryside, combining topology, football or skiing depending on the season, anecdotes, serious conversations about life, and so on.
In 1974 one of Keldysh's students was expelled from the Institute and, as a protest, Keldysh left the Steklov Mathematical Institute. By this time, however, Petr Sergeevich Novikov was seriously ill and the strain of the two years leading up to his death in January 1975 undermined Keldysh's formerly robust health. She died a year later and was buried with her husband in the Novodevich cemetery. It is fitting that the stone over their grave displays the same simplicity as they showed in their lives. It reads:
Let us note her interests outside mathematics [7] by giving a quote from the article that honoured her 70th birthday:-
She is a person of the most various interests. She makes a point of not missing the exhibits of artists who interest her. She can climb up a rickety wooden staircase to the top of a Gothic cathedral. She loves to spend her holidays at tourist centres, she loves old architecture, and she loves nature.
Among the honours that Keldysh received we mention the Red Banner of Labour, the medal "Maternal Glory", and the Prize of the Presidium of the USSR in 1958. In August 2004 the conference Geometric Topology, Discrete Geometry and Set Theory was held in Moscow to mark the centenary of her birth.

Title: Effects of sewage pollution on the interstitial populations of Del Monte beach Monterey, California
Student Author(s): Cooke, William J.
Faculty Advisor(s): Wheeler, E.H.
Pages: 13
Location: Final Papers Biology 175H
Date: June 1970
Keywords: sewage pollution
Abstract: A study was made of the populations of intermediate sized interstitial organisms of Del Monte Beach, Monterey, California. In the summer of 1969 this beach was closed because of sewage pollution from the city's offshore outfall. It was expected that populations of organisms constantly exposed to this pollution might be affected. Samples were taken at every 100 meters on a transect running 1000 meters north and 1500 meters south. Counts were substantially lower to the north than to the south. This appears to be correlated to the southerly flow of the sewage as reported by several other investigators. A general enrichment of the environment is considered to account for the increase in population. | http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/miller/student_papers/1970_8.html | 2013-05-18T10:13:28 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Green Olive
Today’s ride was a new route that Gene calls “Green Olive, but no Martini”. As you can see, we went on Green and Olive, so there you have it.
Before we even got out of Pasadena, JJ got a flat. So I got a picture for the Flat Tire Gallery.
We headed up into La Cañada, where I saw yet another mailbox with hot-rod flames. This makes five now. Pretty soon, I’ll have to make a special photo album just for them.
A little while later, in La Crescenta, I found yet another abandoned couch. So I got a picture for the Abandoned Couches Blog.
After lots of fun riding up and down the hills in La Crescenta, we headed down the hill into Glendale. Then we turned left and went up Mountain Ave. This street is aptly-named. It’s a good climb, and it just keeps on giving. Every time it looks like you’re at the top, there’s a little more. But there was a nice view of downtown Los Angeles from the top. It made a nice backdrop to the pictures of Ben and Gene cresting the hill.
We came down the hill and headed back into Pasadena. Our snack stop was at the Corner Bakery on Lake Ave. And then we headed home. It was a perfect day and a nice ride. | http://www.1134.org/blog/2007/09/09/ | 2013-05-18T10:30:38 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Schwoegler’s Sugar River Lanes announced that it is hosting a youth summer league on a USBC Blue pattern.
The 3-person league will bowl for a dozen Thursdays — July 5 is an off night — at 6 p.m. starting May 10 with signups on April 26 and May 3 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Cost to sign up is $15 if sanctioned last fall, $32 if not sanctioned, and the weekly cost is $7. Scholarship funds will be paid out.
USBC certified coaches will be on hand each week to help the league’s bowlers adjust to a Blue pattern, which typically is more challenging than the typical house shot.

The iPad version of the ever addictive Match Three title.

Surely by now, everyone has played Bejeweled in some guise and on any one of a number of formats. Without even really trying, I’ve managed to accrue five different copies over the years of the addictive and most influential match three game. Now, we come to the iPad only variety, simply titled Bejeweled HD. It’s a great addition, too, with enough different modes to keep things entertaining.
There’s the Classic mode for starters: one that many will delve into first. This one is simply a matter of matching three or more gems of the same color, thus clearing them from the screen. Match four and create a special gem that once matched with others, causes an explosion, match five and an even bigger bang ensues. Play continues until there are no more moves left to play. It’s typical Bejeweled yet fun.
Other modes exist, however, and these are the particularly intriguing ones. Butterfly mode involves keeping a very close eye on butterfly gems that gradually travel up the screen. Once one hits the top of the screen, it’s game over. The added element of clearing these steadily increasing butterflies is a welcome one, offering just enough variety without deviating from the tried and tested formula.
Diamond Mine mode mixes things up by offering a tight time limit and the need to blast through the mine with gems. The time limit keeps things fast paced and is one to return to regularly. For those after calmer experiences, Zen mode offers a calmer and more tranquil and never ending variety of the game.
Besides these equally enjoyable modes, extra reasons to play come from the scattering of badges and a form of levelling up, adding to the instant gratification we gamers love to soak up.
Bejeweled HD might be a little pricey for a game we’ve almost all bought at least once in the past, but it’s a well rounded package. Each of the modes is enjoyable to play and ideal for a variety of different match three experiences. That “one more go” feeling is ever strong here.
A number of former (and current) Xbox Indie developers share their experiences and reasoning behind moving or expanding to iOS. | http://www.148apps.com/reviews/bejeweled-hd-review/ | 2013-05-18T10:43:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
SEMIN.
THC is the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana. Depending on the amount and frequency that the drug is consumed, THC carboxy (the by-product of the body's metabolism of the drug) can remain in the system from about two weeks to a month.
THC, the drug itself, remains in the body for up to four hours.
According to the autopsy report, Martin's blood from his chest contained 1.5 ng/mL of THC. There was 7.3 ng/mL of THC-COOH (carboxy).
Martin, 17, was walking through the community in late February when he was spotted by Zimmerman, who called emergency operators to report him as "suspicious." According to a recording of the call, Zimmerman had been told by the dispatcher to discontinue his pursuit of Martin.
Information about whether Zimmerman complied with the request has not been released; however Zimmerman told police on the night of the shooting that he was retreating to his car when Martin approached him and instigated a fight.
Zimmerman said the 5' 11" Martin slammed his head into the ground and broke his nose. Zimmerman says he shot the unarmed Martin in self-defense. Prosecutors, who later resigned from the case, used Florida's Stand Your Ground law as reason to recommend that no charges be filed in the case.
However, Zimmerman was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after prolonged and extensive public backlash.
According to documents released earlier this week, a doctor Zimmerman visited the day after the shooting confirmed the 28-year-old had a fractured nose and two black eyes.
Martin's autopsy revealed he had a small cut on the ring finger of his left hand. He was shot in the chest at "mid-range," between 1 and 18 inches from his body. There was no exit wound.
Zimmerman was released on $150,000 bail. He is on house arrest, and is not allowed to carry a weapon.

Taco Cid, the restaurant where employees wear T-shirts with the phrase "How to Catch an
Illegal Immigrant" written on them, is looking to focus on their customers more than the controversy surrounding the Mexican-style restaurant that erupted earlier this week.
In a statement posted to the restaurant's website, the restaurant's owner, Leeane Snelgrove, says she'll only take questions from the media on voicemail.
"We apologize for the inconvenience, however, we are focused on serving our customers," said the statement.
However, Snelgrove says she will take two phone calls in particular.
"The only calls we may except are from Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh — but we're not sure its that news worthy," said the statement.
A photo of the T-shirt worn by employees hit social networks this past weekend. The shirts depict a graphic of a pair of tacos underneath a wooden trap with the phrase "How to Catch an
Illegal Immigrant" written just above in red, white, and green
lettering.."
The backlash prompted Snelgrove to respond to the uproar.
"Our T-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group," said a statement.
The statement goes to say that employees are not forced to wear the shirt, and that the owners believe illegal immigrants "are burdening the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay higher taxes to support the illegal activities."
Snelgrove, meanwhile, says support for the shirts have come from as far as the United Kingdom..

Training staff to remain intact; Twins again looking to improve at SS
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
After a season that saw 15 different Minnesota Twins players miss at least one month due to injury, it was reasonable to ask whether the team needs to look at how it can do a better job keeping guys healthy.
On Monday, in an interview with 1500 ESPN, general manager Bill Smith acknowledged that staying healthy is a top priority, but he confirmed that the Twins' major league training staff will remain intact heading into 2012.
"One of our challenges was a lot of (the injuries) were collision injuries," Smith said. "There's nothing, from a training standpoint, that you can do to prevent the injury to (Tsuyoshi) Nishioka, Delmon Young crashing into the left-field wall, (Jason) Kubel crashing into the right-field wall, (Michael) Cuddyer getting hit in the wrist by a pitch. Those aren't stretching and training and injuries that you can prevent that way. ...
"(Jason) Repko got hit in the head, we've had a couple of concussions, we've kind of run the gamut on all of this. We're really working to get our players back healthy to start the season. I know I think (manager Ron Gardenhire) is going to have a more active spring training program."
Smith pointed out that Alexi Casilla's hamstring injury, which sidelined him for the final two months of the season, was one of the only significant non-impact injuries.
Kevin Slowey spent time on the disabled list with shoulder bursitis early in the year, and starting pitchers Scott Baker, Francisco Liriano and Nick Blackburn all missed chunks of time with shoulder, elbow and/or forearm discomfort. Young, Glen Perkins and Jim Thome each dealt with oblique issues.
Other notes from GM Smith
• The Twins wrapped up organizational meetings in Fort Myers last week, where front office members and other key people discussed projected free-agent targets, trade targets and offseason blue-print plans. Smith said he will go over those discussions with Gardenhire next week.
• Asked if the Twins need to look outside the organization for help at shortstop, Smith said, "I think we'll be looking."
"By all means, we've got to have good defense, and we did not have it last year. Part of it was, with all the injuries, we had a lot of people playing up here that should have been playing in Rochester. And the second part of it is we didn't play that well. So we're looking for solid leadership and solid defense at shortstop, and whether that comes from one of those players (Trevor Plouffe and Tsuyoshi Nishioka) or from somebody outside the organization, we're certainly going to be looking to upgrade that."
Twins' shortstops combined to rate 27 runs below average last season according to scouts at Baseball Info Solutions -- a rating that can be mostly attributed to the poor range and throwing of Plouffe and Nishioka.
• Regarding the offseason program of Joe Mauer, who missed approximately three months due to bilateral leg weakness, pneumonia and other ailments, Smith said, "I think Joe acknowledged that he's got to change the way he's prepared in the past, and we're certainly on board with that."
Mauer will work with Twins' strength and conditioning coordinator Perry Castellano, who lives in Fort Myers. "They've got a program pretty well drawn up that everybody's bought into," Smith said.
• If Mauer is unable to return to every-day catching duties -- and there's no guarantee he'll be able to handle 130 games behind the plate -- Smith acknowledged that the team needs a better backup option. "We definitely have to have some more offense," he said. "Drew Butera is a wonderful backup catcher and Rene Rivera did a nice job, but not when they have to play 100 games. We've got to have more offense out of that backup position. ... We are looking to add to that, to supplement that."
Butera hit .167/.210/.239 in 254 plate appearances. Rivera hit .144/.211/.202 in 114 trips.
• Smith said Liriano will likely pitch some in winter ball in the Dominican League at the end of December. "Getting that structure and getting ready for spring training, using the winter ball as a spring board to spring training, this is a huge year for him personally. We want it to be a huge year for him as far as his team goes, but he's heading into his free agency year. ... He needs to come into camp in great shape and ready to go and pitch more like he did in 2010 than 2011."
Liriano pitched in winter ball prior to his post-Tommy John breakout in 2010. He did not pitch in winter ball last year and instead strained his shoulder by throwing too many bullpen sessions leading up to spring training. His 2011 season never got on track after that. | http://www.1500espn.com/sportswire/Training_staff_to_remain_intact_Twins_again_looking_to_improve_at_SS101711 | 2013-05-18T10:21:46 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [
