1. How old does a child have to be to play Vienna Youth Lacrosse?
Vienna Youth Lacrosse is a Vienna Youth Incorporated ("VYI") member sport. We are also a member club of the Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League (NVYLL), and as such, abide by NVYLL rules and divisional breakdowns.
For the 2018 season, there are four divisions for boys in the NVYLL:
Effective with the 2017 season, the NVYLL will no longer have a Boys' High School division. Therefore, VYI will no longer field a Boys' High School team.
For the 2018 season, there are four divisions for girls in the NVYLL, as follows:
Our Little LAX program is designed as a non-competitive introduction to lacrosse for 5-7 year olds (boys and girls). We encourage lots of parental involvement so you can have a fun time learning lacrosse with your future player.
2. When does the season start and end?
In past years, Vienna Youth Lacrosse has sponsored a pre-season clinic designed to expose players new to lacrosse to the fundamentals of the game in a non-competitive atmosphere. The clinic also provides returning players the opportunity to get the "kinks" out of their game. Please see the page relating to the current or upcoming season for dates and fees associated with the clinic.
Player assessments begin in late January or early February. Team assignments are usually completed by the end of February, and regular practices begin after teams are formed. Specific assessment/tryout information (dates, times and locations) for each season will be posted on the Vienna Youth Lacrosse website. The first games of the season are usually scheduled around the end of March. Teams will play an eight game regular season schedule that usually concludes the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. The regular season is followed by two weekends of playoff games, starting the weekend AFTER Memorial Day weekend.
3. What equipment is required for lacrosse?
Girls' lacrosse is non-contact. Girls need a woman's lacrosse stick, protective eye gear, mouth guard and cleats (soccer or football). The mouth guard and USA Lacrosse approved goggles are REQUIRED for practices and games. Suggested sticks for beginning players are 36" in length for girls under 5' tall and 48" in length for girls over 5' tall. Only the goalie wears protective gear that is provided by VYI.
Boys' lacrosse is a contact sport. In addition to a stick, cleats, a mouth guard, and a protective cup (all of which must be provided by the player), each player must have a helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads and gloves.
Vienna Youth Lacrosse runs a BOYS' equipment rental program for helmets, shoulder pads, arm pads and gloves. The parent and player must attend an equipment rental session to ensure proper fitting of equipment. Equipment will NOT be issued without the presence of the player in question at the rental session. Rental sessions are held at the VYI Equipment Annex, located behind the Vienna Community Center (120 Cherry Street, SE, Vienna, VA 22180). Dates and times for rental sessions will be posted on our Home page.
The regular season (from player assessments in January/February through the last game played in June) rental rate is $75. Players who wish to continue renting equipment through the offseason (or any part thereof) may do so for an additional $75. A $200 deposit check is also required which will be cashed if the equipment is not returned in the time and manner that is communicated by the Vienna Youth Lacrosse Equipment Manager, via the VYI Lacrosse website and/or e-mail.
4. What uniforms are used for lacrosse?
For girls, Vienna Youth Lacrosse will provide each player with a game jersey and skort, which may be kept by the player at the end of the season. Likewise, each player on the boys' teams will be given a game jersey and shorts - the game jersey is to be returned at the end of the season (and will be used again next year); the games shorts are theirs to keep at the end of the season.
5. What is the time commitment for lacrosse?
In the NVYLL, most teams will practice two or three times a week during the season (late February/early March through early June). Most teams will play eight games. Generally, boys' games are played on Saturday and girls' games are played on Sunday. However, scheduling conflicts and rescheduling due to weather may result in games being scheduled on different days.
Our home fields for games are Madison HS, Marshall HS, Oakton HS, and Oak Marr #2. Vienna Youth Lacrosse understands the challenge of juggling various family members' schedules and commitments. However, our coaches reserve the right to institute penalties, including limiting game day play time, based upon a player's absence during scheduled practices or games.
6. Does Vienna Youth Lacrosse provide trophies for each player?
For the boys' 10U - 14U teams and the girls' 3rd/4th through 7th/8th grade teams, Vienna Youth Lacrosse provides each team/coach with six individual trophies/plaques: Best Attack, Best Midfielder, Best Defense, Most Improved, Coach's Award and Most Valuable Player. These awards are distributed to the players at the discretion of each team's coach. Neither position nor MVP trophies are provided to the boys' 8U and girls' 1st/2nd grade teams, as theirs are non-competitive divisions and the goal is to teach, not focus on winning.
7. How and when do I register my child for lacrosse?
Registration for Vienna Youth Lacrosse is handled on-line. On-line registration is available at http://www.vyilacrosse.org. Simply, follow the directions for on-line registrations. More information on registration fees for the current/upcoming season is available on this site. Please refer to the links on the left-hand side of this page.
The Commissioner can waive the registration fee in the event of financial hardship.
8. How do I get a refund if my child decides not to play?
The refund policy is provided on the on-line registration page. No refunds are issued for withdrawals after teams are formed. If a player withdraws after this date please inform the registrar as a courtesy.
9. Is there a volunteer commitment for Vienna Youth Lacrosse?
Yes. VYI (and Vienna Youth Lacrosse, as a VYI member sport) is a 100% volunteer organization. The success of our program depends directly on the involvement of each player's family. Therefore, it is expected that everyone will contribute some time, talent, and effort to support the program. In particular, we are always in need of coaches - head coaches and assistant coaches - at all levels, boys and girls. No previous lacrosse experience is required or needed. Every year, we are forced to turn away kids who want to play, because we do not have enough coaches to accommodate the number of interested players. Anyone who is interested in coaching should click on "Volunteer to Coach" on the left side of the home page, and complete the online coaching application form.
Besides coaching, there other ways you volunteer, such as:
In addition, there may be "special projects" that arise from time to time that require volunteer time and effort. If you are interested in helping on an "ad hoc" basis, please contact the Vienna Youth Lacrosse Commissioner.
10. Does Vienna Youth Lacrosse conduct fundraising in addition to the registration fee?
Beginning in 2007, Vienna Youth Lacrosse has included all the costs of administering our program in our registration fees. In the future, we may do additional fundraising to help pay for special projects (e.g., in the past, VYI has contributed funding for the 'turfing' of: Waters Field, the stadium field at Madison HS, and the stadium and practice fields at Marshall HS), but we do not anticipate the need for fundraising or donations from all players.
11. Where are the practice and game fields?
See the Directions and Fields links to the left for a complete list of practice and game facilities. Fields are supplied by Fairfax County and can change from year to year. The NVYLL is a travel league, so you will need to plan to travel to at least half of your player's games.

Either way, it beats spending the summer recess with a jet ski and a pig.

Bergen (North Holland)
Bergen [1] is an artist village and upper-income suburb in North Holland, popular among travellers for its seaside beaches and dunes. A few kilometers further north are the villages of Schoorl and Groet, both near enough to walk from Bergen, with the Schoorlse Duinen nature reserve as its main tourist attraction. South is Egmond aan Zee, also a calm seaside destination.
The main village of Bergen has been known as an 'artists village' since 1900. In the 1920s and 1930s a 'Bergen School' of painters developed. It is located behind the North Sea dunes, just west of Alkmaar. The name is often written as Bergen (NH), or Bergen-NH, which stands for North Holland, as there is also a Bergen in the Province of Limburg. Bergen developed into an upper-income suburb of Alkmaar. The village has two museums and an art center.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
The most efficient way of getting around Bergen is by bike, however, both local supermarkets offer adequate parking space for cars.
See[edit][add listing]
The dune reserves to the west are easily accessible from Alkmaar by bicycle. You can also walk from Bergen, the largest of the villages alongside the dunes. It was known as an 'artists village' since around 1900, is now primarily an upper-income suburb of Alkmaar, with two museums and an art centre. Bergen has a good bus service from Alkmaar (bus 160, every 15 minutes). A few kilometres further north are the villages of Schoorl and Groet, also at the edge of the dunes. They are served by bus 151 from Alkmaar, every 30 minutes.
West of Schoorl, the 'Schoorlse Duinen' are a dune nature reserve open to the public, [2] run by the official forest agency Staatsbosbeheer. The forest was originally planted in the 19th century - not for tourists, but to prevent the dunes burying the villages. The reserve covers 1900 hectares, accessible on foot and by bike at several points. There is also a visitors centre, Bezoekerscentrum Het Zandspoor, Oorsprongweg 1, 1871 HA Schoorl, with a 'play forest' for children. Access to this reserve is free. However, the dunes and forest nearest Bergen are controlled by the Provincial Water Company PWN, the reserve is called the 'Noordhollands Duinreservaat'. Here you need a day ticket, € 1,20 from machines at the main entrances. The PWN reserve is cut by the road to Bergen aan Zee: the Schoorlse Duinen reserve is wilder and more forested.
There are three villages called Egmond. The oldest is Inner or Inland Egmond, Egmond-Binnen, the site of the Abbey of Egmond, the oldest in the Netherlands. The present abbey is a modern re-foundation, only its location is authentic. The original abbey was founded around 950 by Dirk I, the first (perhaps second) Count of Holland. It was originally a nunnery: Count Dirk II replaced the nuns by monks. The abbey became a cultural and religious centre for the County of Holland, in the early Middle Ages. The fishing village of Egmond aan Zee was founded in 977, and was later controlled by the abbey. The (Catholic) abbey was destroyed during the (Protestant) Dutch Revolt, by the troops of Diederik Sonoy. The ruins survived until about 1800.
The village of Egmond aan den Hoef (Egmond-at-the Manor), grew around the manor of the local nobles. Later a substantial castle was built: it was destroyed three times, the last time in 1573, also by Diederik Sonoy. The surviving ruins were demolished in the early 19th century, but the castle foundations and moat were re-excavated in the 1930's, and are now visible in a park. The castle chapel (Slotkapel, originally 1229) survives.
Egmond aan den Hoef is served by bus 165 from Alkmaar station, every 30 minutes. Egmond-Binnen has an irregular bus service, but is within walking distance of Egmond aan den Hoef. It also has a limited bus service to Heiloo station, every 90 minutes, six trips per day. By far the easiest way to see all three villages is to cycle.
On the coast there are two seaside villages. The larger Egmond aan Zee is easily accessible by bus 165 from Alkmaar, every 30 minutes. Bergen aan Zee has a limited bus service from Bergen itself (line 407), connecting with the bus from Alkmaar. There are extra buses on summer weekends (line 262). The sand beach is 25 km long, from Camperduin to the pier at IJmuiden. The dunes around (and south of) Egmond aan Zee are also part of the Noordhollands Duinreservaat.
The dunes and beach end at Camperduin, a hamlet on the edge of Groet. The gap in the dune line is a weak point in the sea defences, and it has been closed off by a high dike, coated with asphalt on the seaward side, the Hondsbossche Zeewering. You can cycle on the asphalt at the foot of the dike, and long-distance cycle route LF1 follows this unusual path. Cycling here would be suicidal in a storm: the dike is designed to break waves, by allowing them to roll up the asphalt slope. The wind would knock you off your bike anyway, but fortunately there is a parallel road on the landward side. The present dike is a strengthened version of a 1793 dike, the crest is 11.5 metres above mean sea level. The dike ends 5 km north, at Petten, where the dunes and beach resume, extending to Den Helder. (This part of the coastline has only continuous since the 18th century. In the Middle Ages, the peninsula ended at Petten, and Den Helder was then an island).
Do[edit][add listing]
Bergen is a starting point for walking and cycling in the dune reserves, which begin at the edge of the village. The main dune nature reserve is the 'Schoorlse Duinen' [8], north of Bergen and west of the village of Schoorl. Much of it is dune forest, originally planted in the 19th century, to prevent the dunes burying the villages. The reserve covers 1900 hectares, accessible on foot and by bike at several points. There is also a visitors centre, Bezoekerscentrum Het Zandspoor, Oorsprongweg 1, 1871 HA Schoorl, with a 'play forest' for children.

Get out[edit]
Bergen is normally visited as a day trip from Alkmaar - the bus from Alkmaar station takes just 10 minutes. For most visitors, onward destinations will be reached via Alkmaar station, see Alkmaar#Get_out. One exception is for cyclists on the long-distance cycle route LF1, which goes north to Den Helder or south to Haarlem and beyond. The route continues into Belgium.

Build and they will come…
"If you build it, they will come" is one of those cliches that have been proved wrong over and over again throughout history. Cities, railway systems, buildings, airports, luxury residents and other such structures have been built, but barely or ever used. There are many interesting reasons for such failures – cost, location, convenience, surrounding dependencies to name a few, but all of these boiled down to some aspects of planning or lack thereof.
It is always fun to build something, say for example, a new Cloud infrastructure. Ok, I am sure you saw this Cloud association coming ! With all the technology and tools available to us, building a Cloud environment to meet our business needs is a challenging but interesting venture. Once this infrastructure is built, now what ? It is one thing to have a kick-"donkey synonym" state-of-the-art Cloud Data Center, but a whole different ball game to actually put users on it ! This is what I want to focus on, the "..they will come" part.
For most enterprise environments applications and data have evolved over time and it's fair to state that they have a very complex dependency model. At the same time, the network, servers, storage and other Data Center elements have also evolved. Cloud service providers, regardless of what flavor of Cloud (Private/Public/XaaS), will have to think about how to interface the new Cloud environment with existing, often legacy environments.
Migrating and on-boarding tenants and applications from an existing system to new Cloud environment is not an easy process. If this is not thought through and diligently planned, then you run the risk of a Cloud environment under-utilized or idle.
The assumption here is you have a multi-tenant enabled Cloud infrastructure with well defined service offerings that map back to Cloud elements. There could be several on-boarding scenarios but the most common ones are:
– new tenants with new workloads, fully sustained within the Cloud infrastructure
– current consumers of IT services (apps & users) being migrated to the Cloud infrastructure
In either case perimeter connectivity is going to be important – how are these consumers going to be accessing the Cloud resources. Figure 1 shows a foundation approach which takes into consideration inter and intra Data Center connectivity. There are many options here both for Layer 2 and Layer 3 depending on the requirements.
This interface into current or extended infrastructure provides the foundation for migration and on-boarding different types of workloads. Documenting all aspects of "what" and "how" and maintaining your attention in this blog is going to be impossible as the methodology varies between different environments. Figure 2 below shows some of the events that need to happen and the decision points on one of the three migration strategies – forklift, staged and parallel.
Application and data migration has a dependency on the underlying consumer model and the various service offerings. Infrastructure connectivity and resource planning has a critical impact to how the users of the Cloud resources will communicate with other systems:
– Network connectivity across all application/user touch-points have to be established
– Resource planning across all technology stacks to ensure scalability
– Compute resources have to be meticulously allocated ensuring elasticity characteristics of Cloud
– Data migration across storage networks have to be facilitated to ensure data integrity
– All common elements driving traffic policies like the firewalls and load-balancers must have appropriate rules to allow traffic
– Critical application common services like DNS, authentication, DHCP, license servers, etc. must be accounted for
– Operations elements across new and current systems must be aligned both from process and management perspectives
– and this list goes on and on into much more details of everything we talked about
Obviously there is much more to this discussion than what I have covered. There are technical and non-technical aspects of project planning, establishing move groups, operations analysis, high availability – BC/DR, SLAs, service assurance, testing and validation, facilities readiness, scheduling, etc. that also needs to be considered.
Cloud projects are very visible. Failed Cloud projects (and they do happen) are even more visible and most likely are resume generating events ! Enterprises build Private Cloud infrastructure with the hopes that it will drive IT service adoption across it's business units, operating companies or departments – which in the short term, will shape into revenue streams and further business opportunities. The first issue in a production Cloud environment is visible enough to disrupt business, consumer confidence and pose a threat to future potential business. This is more visible in Public Cloud scenarios but it's far more common than what we think in Private Cloud deployments. Bottom line, proper planning is not only critical in the Cloud build process, but also in how to move data into the Cloud planning.
Ok, now for my shameless plug. If you are currently involved in a Cloud project and attending Cisco Live 2012, in San Diego, then please do check out two sessions my colleague Kannan and myself are doing. We hope to walk though designing/deploying a Cloud solutions and then what we need to think about to move workloads to this Cloud environment. The session IDs are:
BRKDCT-2251: Designing and Deploying Enterprise Cloud Solutions
BRKDCT-3252: An Infrastructure Approach to On-boarding and Migration to a Cloud Environment
In summary, what I am trying to say here is, establish a solid migration and on-boarding methodology in parallel to building your Cloud solutions and they WILL come to the Cloud !
By the way, would love to hear about your experiences on this topic, the good, bad and the ugly !
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

"Data migration across storage networks have to be facilitated to ensure data integrity" So important. You can't risk losing information as it gets shuffled around. Everyone needs access to the same data in order for it to be effective.

When Emily Schilling first approached Indian Creek girls soccer coach Luke Anderson and track coach Dane Bell about doing both sports last spring, the two coaches decided to do something unusual.
They didn't force her to declare a primary sport or commit to being at one sport's practices every single day.
Instead, they put the decisions in her hands, only offering advice on what games or meets might mean more if there were conflicts.
"Early in the year, Dane and I let her choose. We don't really try to pull her," Anderson said. "She can come to a game and I'm happy to see her or she can go to meet and I understand."
After getting used to the two-sport schedule as a freshman, Schilling flourished in both sports this spring as a sophomore.
She was the soccer team's' leading goal scorer and helped lead the Timberwolves to the program's first regional championship in school history. In track, she qualified for the Class 1A state meet in the 800 and 1,600 and advanced to Saturday's finals in both events on Thursday, running personal bests of 2:23.80 and 5:22.74.
Although Indian Creek doesn't have a fall cross country team, Schilling built up a solid base on her own, running in several meets for Northern Illinois Athletics Running Club. The difference was obvious to Bell early on this year.
She put in a ton of mileage over the summer, through the fall," Bell said. "She came in, first meet …she's running 5:40 right off the bat indoors just off her endurance training."
Schilling's times consistently dropped as the season progressed and she was part of a school-record six individuals to qualify for the state meet at the Class A Seneca Sectional.
Many distance runners who qualify in two events end up choosing to focus on one down at state. But Schilling and Bell are thinking long term, even if she doesn't end up on the medal stand on Saturday.
"Being that she's a sophomore, running them both this year is going to be a huge benefit looking further down the line," Bell said.
Varying experience: Genoa-Kingston and Sycamore each qualified two entries for today's 2A state preliminaries, but the experience levels of the athletes could not be more different.
G-K junior Brianna Kramer (300 hurdles) and senior Danielle Neisendorf (high jump) have both been to the state meet before as Kramer quaified as a freshman while Neisendorf has been all four years in high school, becoming the first G-K girls track athlete to do so.
Sycamore sophomore Lilia Edwards battled through a heel injury to qualify in the triple jump while the Spartans' 4x100 relay team of freshman Lauren Goff and juniors Briana Iwans, Hannah Gross and Christina Dailey had everything come together at the sectional meet. All five Sycamore girls are competing in Charleston for the first time.
Brown's title chances: DeKalb senior Jasmine Brown enters today's preliminary round as one of the favorites in both the long jump and triple jump.
Brown's personal-best mark of 18-11.5 in the long jump at last week's sectional puts her as the No. 3 seed, less than three inches behind the top sectional jump. In the triple jump, Brown's mark of 39-3.25 is more than a foot better than the second-best sectional jump.
The senior has had her eye on breaking 19 feet in the long jump and 40 feet in the triple jump all season and, if she does so this weekend, it might just be enough to earn her a state title, or two.

Part of the Centenary celebrations for the Canada Soccer Association, the match will be the final tune-up for both teams before the start of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying. The U.S. opens play June 8 at home against Antigua and Barbuda in Group A, while Canada travels to face Cuba in Group C.
Tickets in the U.S. supporters section will be available for purchase online through Ticketmaster until Saturday, June 2, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Fans must enter the password USA in order to access tickets in the U.S. supporters section.
Tickets in this section will be $30 USD plus applicable service charges. U.S. supporters looking to purchase tickets at other prices/locations should purchase tickets online through Ticketmaster by visiting the Canadian Soccer Association website.
"First of all, we are honored to be chosen to be part of Canada's Centenary Celebration,†said Klinsmann. "This is exactly the type of challenge we are looking for as we grow the team and get ready for the start of World Cup qualifying. There is a great history in the rivalry, and Canada is a team we could see in the final round of qualifying. It's a win-win for everybody.â€
The U.S. has a 3-6-1 lifetime record in matches in Canada in the series dating back to 1925 but has won the last two times out. The most recent visit came in the final round of qualifying for the 1998 FIFA World Cup on Nov. 9, 1997, when an early goal by Claudio Reyna and two from Roy Wegerle delivered the U.S. a 3-0 victory that clinched the USA's ticket to France.
Overall, the United States has done exceptionally well against Canada for the past two decades. The U.S. is in the midst of a 14-game unbeaten streak (8-0-6) since dropping a 2-0 decision to Canada on April 2, 1985, in Vancouver. The lifetime series record stands at 13-8-9 in the USA's favor.
The U.S. Men's National Team will begin its journey toward the 2014 FIFA World Cup this June when it begins play in Group A of CONCACAF Semifinal Round qualifying. Along with the U.S., Group A is comprised of Antigua and Barbuda, Guatemala and Jamaica. Each opponent will meet twice, once at home and once away, in round robin play. The USA's opening match in group play will take place June 8 at home against first-time semifinalists Antigua and Barbuda. Four days later, the U.S. will play away against Guatemala.

Delaware Mathematics and Statistics PhD Programs | Math Grad Schools
If you are ready to consider a Mathematics and Statistics PhD program, chances are of equal importance to you is finding a Math Grad School. As the highest scholastic achievement in mathematics and statistics, a doctorate degree prepares you to pursue a variety of potential careers that require advanced knowledge and skill; teaching at the university level, research science and some analyst roles[i] are a few of these. Studying for your math Ph.D. on campus places you in a social learning atmosphere as well as close to computer or research labs and is worth taking some time to look into.
Mathematics and Statistics PhD: On- Campus Program Basics
Prospective Mathematics and Statistics PhD students are either required to have a master's degree in a similar or a related field as well as GRE scores and prerequisite coursework. At the graduate level, there tends to be quite a bit of specialization since the doctorate degree entails substantial research; when conferred, the PhD symbolizes the doctoral candidate has contributed to his or her field through a dissertation consisting of original thought leadership.
Potential Features of Campus PhD Programs in Math and Statistics
One of the main reasons to search for a math grad school instead of an online program is choice. It is not uncommon that this level of degree involves on site requirements; both statistics and math doctorate programs may involve an internship, a consultancy or period where you serve as a graduate student instructor. Additionally, when it comes to your dissertation you may have meetings with your faculty mentor at regular intervals.
Otherwise, on-campus learning offers students the opportunity to network, participate, and learn via lectures or seminars and demonstrations in real-time. Plus, there is interaction which may help build interpersonal communication or leadership; this is a
possible plus for those in managerial positions.
To find Math Grad Schools, use the easy navigation settings on GradSchools.com to find on sponsored listings for campus programs by city, state or country. Then, use the 'request info' tab to contact the school. Some of the programs you might come across could include: Doctorate of Pharmacology, PhD in Statistics, PhD in Mathematics, and Research Methodology PhD.
FACT: Mathematical Reasoning is the ability to choose the right mathematical methods or formulas to solve a problem.(O'Net)[ii]
Types of Mathematics and Statistics PhD Campus Programs
At the PhD level, you might expect different types of programs depending on whether you are studying (pure or) applied mathematics or applied statistics or working towards a PhD in Mathematics with a concentration in Statistics. GradSchools.com has a directory of doctorate degrees by concentration area. These include:
- Ph.D. in Actuarial and Financial Engineering Programs
- Ph.D. in Mathematics Programs
- Ph.D. in Statistics and Data Analysis Programs
Different universities may describe their programs with unique language, so when reviewing universities or math grad schools, one should think about the type of courses and research topics that hold the most significance to them, as well as understand some of the common mathematical terms that might be used. The following gives a brief outline for readers.
Pure vs. Applied Mathematics
In an applied math Ph.D. program, online students might learn how to use theories and mathematical techniques, such as computational methods and mathematical modeling, to solve real-time problems in government, business, engineering, physical and social sciences. For pure mathematics programs, Ph.D. candidates might create new mathematics principles or formulas, with the intention of advancing mathematical knowledge. Oftentimes, these two branches of mathematics overlap within Ph.D. programs.
Mathematics and Statistics
For Ph.D. students who study Mathematics, there is sometimes an option to choose a concentration such as Statistics. In this case you might study statistical theory and methodology as it applies to the natural sciences, biomedical sciences, engineering, finance, or business management.[iii]
Mathematical Statistics
Statistics itself is a branch of mathematics; mathematical Statistics involve the application of mathematics to statistics. This might include the study of mathematical techniques such as[iv]:
- Mathematical analysis
- Linear algebra
- Stochastic analysis
- Differential equations
- Measure-theoretic probability theory
Accreditation for Math Grad Schools
Accreditation may matter to both students who want loans and grants, and prospective employers. In the United States, there are two types of accreditation; programmatic and institutional. According to the CHEA[v]:
- Colleges and universities may be accredited by one of 19 recognized institutional accrediting organizations.
- Programs may be accredited by one of approximately 60 recognized programmatic accrediting organizations. (Accrediting organizations that are "recognized" have been reviewed for quality by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the United States Department of Education (USDE).)
- ABET, for instance is the accrediting agency for programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology [vi]
Take the Next Step
While a Ph.D. may be a rigorous endeavor, it may also reward you with recognition, achievement and upward mobility in your profession. Certainly it is the degree of choice for computer and information research scientists[vii], research or academic roles for statisticians[viii] and for some mathematician positions in the private sector.[ix] These are all high job growth sectors and taking that next academic step may prove to be well worthwhile.

Colin Mansell needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 127 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Artweb.net is a new global art portal that will allow artists from around the world to upload, display and sell their work online.
The site is currently in development and will be ready to launch in December. We have decided to open up the design of the site to the 99designs community as we have been really impressed with some of the work produced for our previous projects.
The site is expected to become a major global art portal over the next 12 months with many thousands of member artists, and so the winning site design needs to be industry-leading, clean, contemporary and scalable.
This is a large and growing project, and there will be additional budget for page designs from the winning designer after the contest.
The target audience is professional / semi-professional visual artists, which includes painters, photographers, sculptors and print makers.
We will also be appealing to art galleries who represent professional artists, and so we need to reflect the sense of an art gallery in the design: white walls, a clean, well-designed space that lets the art be the central focus.
The main purpose of the site is to show pieces of art in a clean and uncluttered environment, very much like the feel of a modern art gallery.
So use white backgrounds, light lines and subtle shading, and use a limited amount of colour, so that the art is the thing that really stands out as the central focus. This project is all about creating a clean website that feels well-organised and uncluttered.
For the logo, we have had 2 directions created by a branding design team here in Vancouver, and we want to give you the flexibility to work with the logo you think will work best within your design, so which logo you want to use is up to you - we have not decided.
It would be interesting to see how you might extend the use of the red dot in the logo in other subtle places on the site, but dont overdo it (the red dot is often used to show a piece is 'sold' in art galleries).
Please use web friendly fonts, and work to the 960 grid system: http://www.960.gs
You will notice their are some category areas on the website, and have provided a excel document that you can use to copy & paste to make life easier.
We need two pages designed to show how the different page elements and modules can work consistently across the site. The wireframes for these two pages are here:
The first is a Home page (Buy Art), where we are interested to see consisten clean, well-organised treatment for the various page modules.
The second page the Art View page to show what you see when you click on any piece of art on the site. Please stick closely to the layouts and content of the wireframes.

Dover, Del. - - - The #7 Wesley Wolverines scored 42 second half points, errasing a 20 point halftime deficit, defeating #5 Linfield Wildcats 49-34 in the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs. Wesley quarterback Shane McSweeny tossed 4 touchdowns and ran for two more to lead the Wolverines to the next round of the playoffs.
Linfield jumped to an early 6-0 lead on two short field goals by kicker Josh Kay in the first quarter. The Wildcats stretched their lead to 13-0 with a 6-yard scoring run by running back Josh Hill, capping off a 8 play, 70 yard drive in the second quarter.
Wesley countered on the ensuing possession driving 84 yards in just two plays for thier first points of the game. After the kickoff, McSweeny hit wide out Jeremiah Howe for a 38-yard strike down to the Linfield 46 yard line. Then, McSweeny found a seem in the Wildcat's defense sprinting to the goal line for the score. Dan Tryon found the uprights leaving Wesley down 13-7 in the second quarter.
Linfield continued to execute well on offense, driving once again to Wesley goal line. Wildcat quarterback Mickey Inns completed 4 of 4 on the drive including the 1 yard score to wide out Buddy Saxon putting Linfield back on top by 13 at 20-7.
Inns led the Wildcats down the field once more before half, this time connecting with tight end Lucas Jepson on a 33 yard strike with less than a minute left. Kay hit the extra point giving Linfield a healthy 27-7 point lead going into the locker room for half.
The game unraveled quickly for Linfield in the second half, starting with the opening kickoff when Wesley's Miles Little forced a Wildcat fumble on the return giving Wesley excellent field position at the Linfield 24 yard line.
McSweeny found freshman wide out Steve Koudossou for a 15 yard touchdown 5th play of the drive allow Wesley to cut into Linfield's advatage.
Feeling the momentum starting to change, Wesley's defense forced a Linfield punt that went out of bounds at the Wesley 19 yard line. After a long sack, Wesley faced a long 3rd down, but McSweeny found Koudossou again up to midfield, but was then stripped by Linfield Taylor Skore and subsequently recovered by the Wildcats.
Inns drove Linfield quickly down to the Wolverine's 13 yard line, but he was picked off at the 1-yard line by Wesley's Leon Jones who used two great blocks to weave his way 99-yards for the score. With the Tryon extra point, Wesley was only down by one score at 27-20.
After a quick 4 play and punt by Linfield, Wesley started deep in their own territory at the 1-yard line. It took Wesley only 4 plays to span that distance, highlighted by a 46-yard strike from McSweeny to wide out Matt Barile out to the Linfield 38, then two plays later, McSweeny found Koudossou behind the Linfield secondary for a 28-yard score at 1:49 of the third quarter. With the Tryon extra point, Wesley errased the 20-point half time deficit and now led by 1.
With the momentum firmly on Wesley's side, scored on its next three possession in the fourth quarter. McSweeny continued his hot hand ways, finding his Irish Connection with tigh end Sean McAndrew for two scores. The first, a three yard jump ball capping off a 4 play 51-yard drive and the second, an 8-yard jump ball in the corner of the endzone capping 5 play drive.
The third score and final Wesley score of the quarter, McSweeny finished himself on an 8-yard bull rush through the Linfield defense. Dan Tryon continued to be perfect with the extra points giving Wesley a commanding 49-27 lead late in the fourth quarter.
Linfield wasn't done though, Inns and company ran a successful two-minute drill in the last 5 minutes driving 81-yards on 11 plays ending with a 19-yard strike from Inns to Deidre Wiersma.
Wesley recovered the ensuing on-side kick and ran out the final 1:47 of the game to move on to the Regional Finals next week where they will meet a familiar and respected foe in Mary-Hardin Baylor, in Belton, TX.

2005 Chevrolet Malibu ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Solid mid-size sedan; practical Maxx.
The Chevrolet Malibu was launched to compete with the mid-size imports from Japan. Like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the Malibu emphasizes civilized road manners, quality construction, and buttoned-down practicality wrapped in innocuous if not anonymous styling.
The driving performance of the Malibu exceeded our expectations. We were surprised by the acceleration performance from the V6 and delighted by the crispness of handling on winding roads. It feels firmer than the Camry, but softer than the Accord, a good balance, in other words. Malibu's solid structure is based on GM's new Epsilon platform used by a couple of highly successful European sedans. Along with its compliant suspension, this gives the Malibu a smooth, comfortable ride, yet allows for spirited driving. This is no mush-mobile. Steering effort is light at low speeds, so the Malibu is easy to maneuver through crowded parking lots and park.
The cabin offers roomy accommodations for five passengers with comfortable seats and logical controls that are easy to use. It's quiet underway. And you can start the car remotely, a great feature on cold, winter mornings. No question, this is a highly competent sedan that's practical and easy to live with.
Where the Malibu needs work is in the appearance department. Introduced as an all-new model for 2004, the Malibu is better looking than the plain-looking previous model, but it's no raving beauty. That silver band across the front is designed to clearly identify this as a Chevy, but it won't go down in history as a great design.
The Malibu has something the imports don't: the Maxx. Maxx is a longer-wheelbase variant, whose extended roofline and rear cargo hatch suggest a sporty station wagon. While Malibu seems destined to disappear into a crowd, Maxx looks just as determined to stand out and be noticed.
Starting at just a hair under $19,000 and topping out below $25,000, Malibu base prices are extremely competitive with the prices of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, which can approach $30,000 with options. The previous Malibu ranked tops in the midsize car class in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Surveys for two consecutive years; we expect the 2005 model to offer quality construction.!!.
Malibu is available as a conventional four-door sedan, or as the longer-wheelbase Malibu Maxx.
The sedan comes in three trim levels: base ($18,995), LS ($21,060), and LT ($23,855). The base model is powered by a 2.2-liter dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine. LS and LT versions come with a 3.5-liter overhead-valve V6. All models come with a four-speed automatic transmission.
Standard features at all levels include: air conditioning; a power vertical height adjuster for the driver's seat; power windows, door locks and outside mirrors; tilt/telescoping steering column; four-speaker stereo with compact disc player; dual-stage front airbags; and 205/65R15 touring tires on 15-inch steel wheels. Anti-lock brakes (ABS) with traction control are optional ($400). A Preferred Equipment Group ($835) for the base sedan consists of: cruise control; remote keyless entry; power adjustable pedals; driver manual lumbar seat adjuster; front seatback map pockets; a cargo net; and the audio system that is standard in the LS.
The mid-level LS comes standard with anti-lock brakes (ABS); traction control; cruise control; remote keyless entry; front-reading lights; map pockets in the backs of the fronts seats; power adjustable pedals; manual lumbar adjustment for the driver's seat; six-speaker stereo with Radio Data system (which displays the kind of station you are listening to); 15-inch aluminum wheels; a cargo net; illuminated driver's side vanity mirror and non-illuminated vanity mirror on the passenger side; and body color moldings. Side-impact airbags and head curtain airbags are optional for base and LS models ($690) and we recommend them highly. A package ($1,095) for the LS sedan includes: side curtain airbags; remote vehicle starter; carpeted floor mats; and six-way power driver's seat.
LT adds: automatic climate control; seat-mounted side-impact and side curtain airbags; front and rear reading lights; remote vehicle starter; leather seats; heated front seats; 6-way power driver's seat; seat cushion storage pockets for outboard seating positions; leather-wrapped steering wheel with steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls; leather-wrapped shift knob; two illuminated vanity mirrors in front; fog lamps; power and heated outside rearview mirrors; body-color rocker moldings; a rear spoiler; 16-inch tires and wheels. An optional package for the LT ($1,230) includes a Homelink transmitter for opening garages and security gates; a light-sensitive auto dimming rearview mirror, XM Satellite Radio and a power sunroof.
Maxx is built in the same three trim levels: base ($20,760), LS ($21,260), and LT ($24,405). But the base-level Maxx is better equipped than the base-level sedan, and comes with the V6, cruise control, traction control, anti-lock brakes (ABS), 16-inch steel wheels, power hatch release, and other highline features. Similar options packages are available for Maxx. A DVD entertainment center with wireless headphones and a monitor that flips up from the front console ($995) is available.
Options for Malibu sedan and Maxx include: XM Satellite Radio ($325 plus the $9.99 monthly subscription fee); GM's OnStar communications system ($695); a power sunroof ($725); and a rear spoiler for the sedan ($175) or Maxx ($300). Three levels of audio are available, from the base AM/FM stereo and CD player to the top-of-the-line system with an in-dash, six-CD changer, six speakers, and automatic volume and tone controls ($300). A unique option is the remote starter ($150), useful both in cold climates to warm up the car before the driver climbs in and in extremely hot climates to cool it down.
The Chevrolet Malibu looks more contemporary than its bland predecessor, with more character and class. It also looks more substantial, giving the impression it's a more expensive car than it is. And it is, indeed, more substantial, slightly wider than the model it replaces.
The front features a chrome bar across the full-width of the car, with the familiar Chevy bowtie in gold in the center. The bar along, along with Malibu's squinty headlamps, attempts to invoke a family resemblance to Chevy trucks, which have been highly successful in the marketplace, but the design execution didn't work as well on this mid-size car.
The rear of the sedan resembles the upright rears of European cars. And indeed, the Malibu shares its structure with the highly successful German Opel Vectra and the Swedish Saab 9-3. Malibu is built on GM's new Epsilon global platform, a front-wheel-drive architecture developed by a team of American, German and Swedish engineers. Epsilon is also being used for the new Pontiac G6. The bottom line is that the Epsilon platform provided good bones for a new Malibu sedan.
From the center post of its roof forward, Malibu Maxx is identical to the sedan. From there back, however, Maxx is a different and more innovative vehicle. Maxx isn't larger than the sedan, but it is proportioned differently. At 106.3 inches, the wheelbase of the Malibu sedan stands at the small end of the mid-size spectrum. Maxx rides a wheelbase that's six inches longer, stretching 112.3 inches. Yet in overall length the Maxx is a half-inch shorter than the sedan (187.8 inches vs. 188.3). That gives the Maxx very short overhangs, a good thing. Maxx is a half-inch taller than the sedan. Its roof is longer, its trunk shorter, increasing space for rear-seat passengers.
The Malibu looks as substantial inside as out. With 101 cubic feet of interior space, the Malibu sedan is extremely roomy for five passengers. The seats are comfortable. The front passenger seat cleverly folds flat for carrying long objects such as skis. The rear seat splits and folds 60/40.
The interior is conservatively styled. Controls on the center dash are conveniently backlit for night driving. The heating and air conditioning controls were a little confusing, however. Likewise, the stereo seemed designed more for style than function, though it worked well. We thought the wipers were a little loud. And the triangularly shaped outside mirrors are small, limiting rearward vision more than we liked.
Otherwise, it's a convenient interior. Lots of nooks and crannies are available for storage, including a center console with a roomy bin, four cupholders, a storage tray and a clip pad. Two 12-volt outlets provide power for whatever needs powering.
Malibu Maxx offers slightly more total passenger space than the sedan, at 106 cubic feet. But more than that, Maxx offers increased versatility. Its rear seat is split 60/40 not only in the back, but in the cushion; and each unit slides fore and aft as much as seven inches to adjust between passenger and cargo room. Rear-seat passengers sit farther back in the Maxx and enjoy nearly identical room as the front-seat occupants, and as much as the rear-seat riders in a full-size domestic sedan. Maxx's rear seatbacks also recline for improved comfort. In short, the back seats of the Maxx are a comfortable place for adults.
Standard in the Maxx is a fixed skylight over the rear seating area, so rear-seat passengers can see clouds by day and stars by night. Or they can close their individual sunshades.
Back in the cargo bay, Maxx provides 22.8 cubic feet of space, vs. 15.4 for the trunk of the sedan. Fold down Maxx's back seats and the available space expands to 41 cubic feet. There's a 12-volt power outlet way in the back in addition to the two up front that it shares with the sedan. A four-position shelf in back can be configured for two-tier loading or as a table for roadside picnics. And of course the one-piece liftgate with remote power release allows you to load objects like appliances that would never squeeze through the sedan's conventional trunk opening.
The biggest problem with the Malibu's interior, whether sedan or Maxx, is its inconsistency. Some interior parts are made from very high quality materials, such as the soft rubber door handles, which reminded us of Volkswagen, the benchmark for interiors. Yet, other parts, such as the plastic surrounding the audio and climate controls, appear hard and cheap. The ceiling area above the visors was lumpy, and the edges of the ceiling fabric where it was supposed to tuck into the trim was ragged; the handle for the lumbar support felt flimsy, and the seat fabric puckered. Our test cars were pre-production models and some of the finer points may be worked out in production. Still, we didn't feel the interior materials and workmanship, in general, measured up to the craftsmanship of a Honda or Toyota.
The Malibu is designed well for safety. Dual-stage frontal airbags and three-point safety belts are provided for all occupants, of course, with safety belt pretensioners for front-seat passengers that cinch the belts tighter in a crash. The universal child-seat attachment is located in all rear seating positions. Anti-lock brakes and traction control are optional on the base model and standard on the LS and LT. Power adjustable pedals are standard on the up-level models. For 2005, Chevrolet has added seat-mounted side-impact airbags for front-seat passengers in addition to side-curtain airbags for the front and rear seats; this setup is standard on LT and optional ($690) on other models.
A neat option is the remote starter, useful for starting the car from inside the house when it's ver.
Driving Impression
A bumpy winding road quickly showed the Chevrolet Malibu handles well. Chevrolet engineers deliberately tuned the Malibu's ride and handling to fall smack dab in between Accord firmness and Camry softness. We think it was exactly the right decision. The rock solid body structure provided us with a very quiet and comfortable ride, yet allowed spirited driving. The chassis is well controlled.
The electronically controlled steering is sharp and responsive. It provides the driver with more assistance at low speeds for parking maneuvers, with less power assistance at highway speeds for better steering feel.
Both of the available engines deliver plenty of power, as well as good fuel economy within their segments. GM's 2.2-liter dual overhead cam four-cylinder Ecotec serves as the base engine. It delivers 144 horsepower and 24/34 mpg city/highway.
GM's newly developed 3.5-liter V6 delivers 200 horsepower and a still-decent 23/32 mpg in the sedan and 22/30 in the Maxx. We were impressed with the extra kick the V6 gave us in highway passing maneuvers.
Base models come with rear drum brakes. LS and LT models come with four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Dynamic Rear Proportioning, which dynamically adjusts brake pressure between the front and rear brakes, improving stability and shortening braking distances. ABS allows the driver to maintain steering control under hard braking.
The Chevrolet Malibu has a rock-solid driving personality, a nice ride, a quiet, comfortable cabin, and lots of safety features. The Malibu Maxx is a compelling alternative with its liftgate, adjustable rear seating, and the versatility of a small SUV, all in a package no larger than a mid-size sedan.

35395, Children's Songbook, Nature and Seasons, Autumn Day, 247
Autumn day, autumn day,
God gives richest gifts today.
Look on ev'ry side and see
Pleasant things for you and me.
Apples red and apples yellow,
Round and juicy, sweet and mellow,
Load the trees till they bend over
And their branches brush the clover.
Child, be glad with all that lives,
But forget not God, who gives.

Fitness Facilities
Champion Fitness Center
Brand new in 2016, this 13,000' facility features cardiovascular training on the upper mezzanine and strength training on the lower level, with plenty of windows, natural light, and a view of the new pool! See a slideshow.
The cardio equipment is on a three-year lease, which means every three years we have brand new, state-of-the-art cardiovascular equipment. Almost every machine has a screen equipped with cable TV, mobile device connections, and internet access for web surfing, Pandora music, and more. Set up a free account to log workouts, set goals, and save favorite workouts.
The strength training area features two circuits of machines plus an entire free weight section. Personal cards can be kept on site to record your equipment settings and workout records. The new Hub area provides team training for up to 24 people with a focus on High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).
Fitness instructors are always available in both the cardio and strength training areas to provide orientation (optional), or answer questions.
The JCC's Yoga/Pilates mat studio is located on our lower level beneath the spiral staircase. Newly renovated, our studio offers an open, quiet, meditative space featuring soft recessed and track lighting, wood flooring, blinds and updated equipment. The studio has everything you need for your yoga practice including mats, blocks, bolsters, straps and wedges. We also have a full selection of small Pilates mat apparatus including rings, foam rollers, weighted and unweighted balls. See our list of Yoga/Pilates classes.
Pilates Reformer
The Pilates Apparatus studio is a warm, welcoming space overlooking our lower courtyard. It is equipped with four STOTT V2 Max Reformers and four Split-Pedal Stability Chairs. This cozy studio is for private, semi-private and small group Pilates apparatus training. See the Pilates Group Reformer class schedule.
Group Cycling
The Group Cycling Studio is located next to the upstairs fitness center, overlooking our back field and the Erie Canal path. The newly renovated studio offers 25 new Keiser M3 bikes, and each bike has a computer that tells the rider how much resistance they are pushing (gear), distance covered, RPMs (pedal speed), and wattage (power output). The studio also has four flat screen televisions and individually controlled fans to accommodate members who like a fan and those who do not. See our group cycling schedule.
TRX Suspension Training
TRX Suspension Training® was created by a Navy SEAL to stay in peak condition while on missions where conventional fitness equipment was not available. Because of its effectiveness it is becoming the functional training system of choice for elite units of every branch of the Armed Forces. The TRX's effectiveness and versatility as the ultimate bodyweight exercise tool has pushed it far beyond the realm of the battlefield and into the JCC. The benefits of Suspension Training workouts are not just applicable to the performance elites; they are relevant for everyone who seeks a method to safely and rapidly improve fitness. See our TRX Suspension Training class schedule.
Our gymnasium can be used as a full court or two half-courts for basketball, volleyball, and other adult and children leagues, as well as group fitness classes. There is bleacher seating and a scoreboard for special events. See the open gym schedule for drop-in times.
The Joseph Kozel Recreation Complex includes four outdoor hard surface tennis courts with windscreens, a softball diamond, fitness trail and a picnic pavillion area. Tennis lessons are offered from United States Tennis Association (USTA) professionals.
Pickleball is a fast-growing sport in the U.S., and its popularity is growing equally fast at the JCC! There are three indoor courts with open play four days a week and two outdoor courts. We also offer teaching clinics, as well as leagues you can join. See our recreational sports classes.
Racquetball and Handball
Enjoy these popular sports on four courts dedicated to racquetball and handball. The courts are available during all JCC open hours. During prime time, November to April, courts are reserved during limited hours for members 18 years old and up.
Indoor Track
Walk, jog or run on our indoor track overlooking the full gymnasium. The track is coated with a non-slip Olympic-style rubberized flooring that provides maximum support and cushion. You can run or walk 16 laps to reach one mile.
Functional Training Studio
Ours is the only complete Functional Training Studio in town! It includes the original Purmotion Functional Training System, ropes, TRX, tires, sledgehammers, bands, agility ladders, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, kettlebells, and more. Read more about the Functional Training Studio.
Our PlayGym is a great place for kids--ranging from 2-10 years old--to expend their energy and have a great time doing it! A huge climbing structure is available for kids to explore. There is also a horizontal rock climbing wall—climb across instead of to avoid any fear of heights! Children five years and older can remain in the PlayGym alone, while children 2-5 must remain with a parent. Read more about the PlayGym.
In Zone
The JCC's In Zone is an interactive center for kids ages 6-11 years old. It's a great place to get a daily dose of physical activity.

Gwyneth, I'm putting all my poker chips on you.
I'm pretty biased, but I think Stella McCartney is cooler than James Dean, Jane Birkin, and Angela Chase combined—and would be even if Sir Paul McCartney were *not *her Pops. The London-based designer gracefully bangs out trend after major trend each and every season, all while maintaining her Saville Row-trained tailoring skills, her clean, effortless silhouettes and her undisputed fashion cred.
For spring 2013, she's made a wardrobe for the kind of electric, stylish girls who don't like high-voltage, embellished pieces. (You know who they are because you've seen them and wondered* "Gaaaaaah! Where did she get that amazing thing? How can I find one like it for $50? Was she born this chic or did she have to take a special class or something?!?!"*) That means no sequins, no studs, no excess schtuff, —just pared down, quietly intricate designs with a vaguely sporty vibe that are meant to be worn around the clock—starting with a batch of gauzy, see-thru sweatshirts and body-sculpting shifts in day-glo orange.
Drop-waist sleeveless safari dresses, flatform sandals and boxy eyelet pantsuits all sauntered down the runway, while the final batch of dresses—in garden party florals or "printed" with large orbs in bold hues—featured thousands of micro pleats across the body, which meant they fluttered a little down the runway, but never looked prissy.
But the coolest, most genius thing—the one that any celebrity with a good, stylish head on her shoulders will love and wear—were Stella's fitted, sheer-at-the-knee skirts and dresses. The beauty of this particular master move is that it keeps the knee partially hidden, but maintains the sexy look of a pencil skirt.
There are lot of ladies out there who aren't in love with their knees and would be psyched to be able to cover them up without looking like a dowdy old lady. (Currently, I'm one of them: As I was leaving Stella's show, in my blissed-out state I somehow managed to walk into a *parked *bicyclist and skin *both *knees. And yeah, lots of people saw me do it. It was super cool of me. I'm not still embarrassed or anything.)
Sadly, I'm not getting my hands on these Stella skirts and spring looks anytime soon, but that shouldn't stop the Gwyneth Paltrows of the world from getting in on this goodness. Whichever F.O.S. (friend of Stella) rings her up, snags the sample and struts it on the red carpet, gets a gold medal in fashion cred.
Which of these Stella looks do you like best? And is anyone biased like me, and totally, head-over-heels in love with Ms. McCartney?
Stella's new lingerie line! (SO. GOOD.)
Which of these celebs rocked Stella McCartney's spring looks best?

Our full fan-out transceiver test system is constructed as a fully meshed matrix. This construction is ideal for testing radio-to-radio communication for an environmental simulation or testing handset-to-handset communication over a wireless network. Block diagrams for each model are listed in the Documents column of our sortable table.
Each path through the matrix has its own individually controlled programmable attenuator. The programmable attenuators allow the transmission from one port to be received at all other ports at different signal levels. This allows the simulation of a network where each device has a different distance (i.e.attenuation setting) from all other devices. The attenuators can be remotely controlled to simulate static or dynamic network environments.

An important class of photobleaching events are photodynamic, meaning they involve the interaction of the fluorophore with a combination of light and oxygen. Reactions between fluorophores and molecular oxygen permanently destroy fluorescence and yield a free radical singlet oxygen species that can chemically modify other molecules in living cells. The amount of photobleaching due to photodynamic events is a function of the molecular oxygen concentration and the proximal distance between the fluorophore, oxygen molecules, and other cellular components. Photobleaching can be reduced by limiting the exposure time of fluorophores to illumination or by lowering the excitation energy. However, these techniques also reduce the measurable fluorescence signal. In many cases, solutions of fluorophores or cell suspensions can be deoxygenated, but this is not feasible for living cells and tissues. Perhaps the best protection against photobleaching is to limit exposure of the fluorochrome to intense illumination (using neutral density filters) coupled with the judicious use of commercially available antifade reagents that can be added to the mounting solution or cell culture medium.
The culture of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells appearing in the digital image above was stained with MitoTracker Red CMXRos, vividly labeling the intracellular mitochondrial network. The specimen was also labeled for filamentous actin and DNA with Alexa Fluor 488 (green emission) conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI (blue emission), respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Most of these instructors are either employees or frequent contributors to Family Tree Magazine. A few of the instructors are active members of national organizations such as the Association of Professional Genealogists and the Federation of Genealogical Societies. Several of them have relatively high-profile genealogy blogs. Only a few of them identify themselves as professional genealogists. None of the instructors are certified (CG) or accredited (AG) genealogists.
Family Tree Magazine can sometimes contain articles for "intermediate" skill level genealogists, but the majority of its content is aimed at beginners. Family Tree University appears to be focused on the same audience.
The faculty contains several recognizable names, but the skill level of the instructors also comes into question. Though these instructors have often contributed to Family Tree Magazine, they have not, to my knowledge, had case studies published in peer-reviewed genealogy journals. None of them have had their research skills otherwise evaluated by either BCG or ICAPGen.
Considering the focus of the courses, the questionable quality of the instructors, and the , the average cost of the online courses seems particularly high. The webinars are likewise priced extremely high when considering that most genealogy webinars by other companies are offered between $0 and $10.
These courses may be useful for beginners and intermediate genealogists, but would probably offer very little for advanced genealogists.

I reiterate this point because it really puzzles me that people cannot see the lines at all in the dark region, when on my screen they are as clear as any of the other borders. You guys must have some wacky contrast on your monitors or it is indeed a form of color blindness. Nonetheless, it causes a real (and repeatable) problem on the map.
Yeah I'm with sully; I don't see any issue with that screen shot
Sully and killing i didn't post because i like the sound of my own voice.
I posted because i can't read it clearly, i have trouble seeing nearly all of yellows terry's
and the darker colours in the black area.
It wouldn't bother only for the fact that i like the map, had it been a map i would only play now and then i wouldn't waste my time posting.
I really liked the version that you got rid of, i appreciate that pepper has spent alot of time doing this one and the map i liked isn't coming back.
So rather than throwing myself on the floor and kicking my hands and legs, i'm putting my concerns in this forum
only to have it repeatly stated, ''i don't see the problem'',''it's crystal clear'', ''colour blind'' ,''bad monitor''........
So what's my alternative??? maybe just move on, play other maps i can read,and maybe in clan wars with the random maps coming up just hope i don't get unlucky???
I think we're just trying to figure out the source of the visibility problem. It'll be easier to fix if we know if it's a vision issue, or a monitor problem, or whatever else. In any case, I'll try to resolve it as mush as possible in the next update.
