5/31 Minor matters
Casey Coleman gave up two runs on six hits over six innings in Iowa's 5-3 win over Nashville Sunday. Jason Dubois hit a double, a homer and scored three runs. Chris Robinson had three RBIs, including a game-winning RBI double in the eighth.
Tennessee's game was rained out and will not be made up.
Brooks Raley gave up three runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings but it wasn't enough as Daytona lost, 4-1. Ryan Flaherty extended his hitting streak to 13 games and is batting .404 in that stretch.
Trey McNutt gave up one run on four hits over five innings in Peoria's 5-4 win over Beloit. McNutt struck out six and now is 4-0 with a 1.70 ERA. Greg Rohan and Charles Thomas each had three hits.

Dear Lou,
Hey Lou!!!!! In case you haven't noticed, Chad Tracy, a THIRD BASEMAN is hitting .425 in AAA. Don't you think it's a slap in the face to him to keep him riding the bus to minor league games while you crush any scoring chances that the Major league Cubs have by batting a .162 hitter CLEANUP!
It's time Ramirez rides the bus to work in the minors. Maybe that will help his swing come along. Please stop throwing away regular season games that count by giving him any more at bats in the big leagues until he can prove himself in the minors. Time for a DL rehab for A-RAM! We have a 3rd baseman in AAA that deserves a shot.
Thank you,
A concerned die hard Cubs Fan.

Amongst the jolly chatter
That night in the Turkish bar Mumzie made some witty quip that reminded me of how clever and entertaining she can be in the most unexpected way. Impulsively, I leant over, hugged her, and gently kissed her neck. She whispered
That's what I miss
I knew she meant dad. We had barely talked of him. At that time, 6 months after his passing, I hadn't even seen her cry. Not even at the funeral. I was amazed by her stoicism. I'd burst out in floods of tears as soon as I saw the coffin and couldn't stop until it disappeared from view. Some people were disturbed by mum"s lack of emotive expression, some thought it meant she didn't care. I didn't think that. We talked of practical things, of all the bureaucracy, furniture shifting, and belongings sorting that follows a death. We worked our grief through engaging with things and doing.
Here, in Minneapolis, almost a year to the day after his death, I first saw her cry. Mum had accompanied me on a trip here to help me choose a place to live. We visited museums, historic buildings, art galleries and the American Swedish Institute (ASI). In the ASI we looked at traditional Swedish glassware, stoves, decorations, weaving. It was beautiful and very reminiscent of things in my parents home. As we walked into one room mum whispered 'your dad would have loved this'. She was right, I could see his happy face and hear him telling us stories about his childhood in Sweden as an evacuee during WW2. I gave us a big hug. She knew why I'd wanted to come to the ASI. He's part of me, I seek happiness in the things that made him happy. Mum and I share memories of dad's being in a way that cannot be spoken. I think we miss him in a similar way, though I'm more prone to talking, writing, about it.
Recently, during a skype call, mumzie enthusiastically described her first trip to the Lake District. It sounded marvellous, snow capped mountain hikes (she's 79!), lakes, windy roads, old trains, and then she mentioned the mill. An old mill "Your dad would have loved it". This time without tears, and I smiled. I visited a Mill here in Minnesota recently and thought exactly the same thing. He's with us on all our adventures, in spirit. Then mum started talking about the Russian formula 1 race that was on her TV. She described how it's not as much fun to watch when she doesn't have someone who cares more about it to share watching it with.
"I know what you mean" the words sounded weak to convey the depth of understanding. So many experiences loose their 'edge' when the partner you'd shared them with, enjoyed them with, even enjoyed them because of that partner, is no longer there. So many everyday things that I once engaged-in with agust, have faded from fun things to enjoyable things. As if the loss of a loved one throws a permanent damp blanket on one's capacity to fully engage with those things.
Loss seeps through the jolly chatter of everyday things

Questioning The Mariners
The Mariners are four weeks into their new season and questions about this team --- this franchise --- abound.
Where are runs going to come from? The M's are next-to-last in runs scored in the AL, and a look up-and- down their lineup doesn't even produce a single murderer, much less a Murderers' Row. Truth be told, they barely have a jaywalker or litterbug on the roster.
Does Robinson Cano have a clause in his big fat new contract that penalizes him for hitting home runs? While he's inched his batting average to just over .300 heading into Yankee Stadium this week, he's managed to clear the fences only once. Too many times already he has come to the plate with men on base and not delivered a game-changing blast.
Is it just me, or does it seem as if every inning starts with an out already on the scoreboard, and every batter comes to the plate with a strike against him?
Four years' worth of historically inept offense seems to keep repeating itself with no end in sight.
You begin to wonder what sort of inning is worse ---the kind where you go down in feeble fashion, 1-2-3, or frustratingly, leaving those rare baserunners who have found their way into scoring position stranded? Goodness knows there have been plenty of opportunities already this year to compare and contrast the two.
Is there something in the air/water/diet around here that saps Mariner batters of their strength? It used to be said that when a guy put on the Yankee pinstripes, he added twenty pounds of muscle. Guys come here with good track records as successful hitters and they nearly all seem to work their ways in an eternal-vortex-of-doom slump---the only cure for which seems to be to pack their bags and join another team---whereupon they find their stroke and resume normal play.
Never mind contending for post-season play, will this team even manage to play .500 ball? At the rate they're going (10-14, .417), they'll be lucky to win 70 games. And this includes what now looks like a complete anomaly, the season-opening three-game sweep of the Angels.
Finally, if the team continues to flail and flounder, finding (old and new) ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, will the few remaining fans of the team continue to pay top-dollar to watch bad baseball? I can't imagine why.
There's no question about it.

Ivan Sovis FRICS, CEO and founder of Sovis QS is one of Dubai's most notable surveyors. He has worked on some of Dubai's most high profile developments, including Dubai's World Trade Centre, a number of Dubai's 5 star hotels and most notably Wafi City.
Over a distinguished 42-year career in the UAE, Ivan has worked on several landmark projects including Dubai's World Trade Centre, prominent 5-star hotels and high-rise developments, shopping malls and Wafi City. As one of the UAE's first and most experienced Chartered Quantity Surveyors and with a background in construction, Ivan has been able to apply his broad suite of experience and expertise to Dubai's transforming skyline.
The UAE was barely five years old, when Ivan arrived from Sri Lanka in 1976 to work for Widnell and Trollope. One of the first projects that he worked on as a quantity surveyor was the Dubai World Trade Centre. At the time, the building was Dubai's first skyscraper and the tallest building in the Middle East. In the following nineteen years at Widnell and Trollope, Ivan was involved in the construction boom of the 1980s working on most of the 5* Hotels in Dubai, as well as commercial and high-rise buildings, residential developments and government and infrastructure projects. Given there was a shortage of quantity surveyors in the region, Ivan had to apply his expertise to a broad suite of challenges. Overtime, Ivan helped give the profession value in the UAE and this supported an increase in the recruitment of quantity surveyors into the region.
As one of the UAE's most experienced Chartered Quantity Surveyors and with a background in construction, Ivan has been part of the Dubai's dramatically changing skyline from the very beginning. His strong industry reputation gained from a successful project track record and client endorsement, helped inspire the establishment of Sovis QS in 1995, one of the GCC's first RICS regulated firms. Sovis QS has helped apply international standards to a number of pioneering projects and has gained recognition for its specialist QS knowledge in 5-star hotels, shopping malls and property development.
Over the past 23 years, Sovis QS has delivered a diverse portfolio of projects including the firm's signature project, Wafi City. The Egyptian themed complex includes a shopping mall, 5* hotel, health club and a number of entertainment facilities. Due to its unique Egyptian theme Quantity Surveyors had to apply specialist expertise in areas including statues, artwork and customised glass. Sovis QS has since led other important projects including the expansion of Dubai International airport and the Sahara Centre.
Over a distinguished 42-year career in the UAE, Ivan has played an important role in the transformation of Dubai's skyline. He has not only brought international standards to pioneering projects, but he has also helped highlight the importance of quantity surveyors in the UAE. Ivan was made a Fellow of RICS in 2000 in recognition of his contribution to the profession.

We all spend lots of time pinning and pulling images of things we like, rooms that make us swoon and inspirational spaces. But sometimes you can learn a lot by studying rooms you DON'T like. I actually ask some clients to pull images of spaces they hate alongside ones they love because together they create a clear picture of what they want out of their space.
So here is a space that I straight up dislike. And no surprise, it's a Kardashian home (not a fan of them, AT ALL) via Domaine Home. So let's take a gander at Kourtney's home, shall we….
Here's the thing about this house, EVERYTHING is a statement. Everything. There is no place for your eye to rest and make the next statement feel special. It's just an assault on your eyeballs in every square foot of space. You know I love black and white stripes but this room is TOO much with the patterned floor as well and the crazy lighting topping it off.
MORE stripes! This room feels a little less offensive to me but again, with the bold art and the urchin light fixture it's all just too much for me.
OMG, this kills me. The rug plus the wallpaper plus the primary colored sculpture and art. This is exactly what I would show someone if they asked me what I disliked in a home. Let the wall be the statement and pair it with simpler, classier art and accessories! GAH.
This room isn't horrible on it's own- I like the chandelier a lot and the chairs and fabric on the roman, but the host chairs make no sense to me.
Again, this isn't horrendous but it is the point where I start wondering if there is wallpaper in EVERY room. I dig the black chairs though.
Yup, there is definitely wallpaper everywhere. With a traditional patterned backsplash this wallpaper feels all wrong. Forced, if you will. And the modern lights look off with the country cabinetry and curved bar top. This to me reads as "we didn't want to pay to change the cabinets so we'll just throw a bunch of modern stuff everywhere instead." You CAN make traditional cabinetry look mroe modern, but it has to be subtler than this. Don't try to make a space something it's not.
MORE wallpaper. I love wallpaper as much as the next girl, but you CANNOT use it in every room! Make it special and pick a couple rooms to use it in. When you use bold, trendy items in every space nothing feels special or "wow". Also, if you do this your home will feel dated the second the wallpaper glue dries. Maybe that's why she's selling the house!
Patterned wallpaper, patterned drapes, patterned sofa AND rug. It's all just too much for me. This much going on in every space makes me anxious.
I like the black walls and the rug and maybe even the desk chair, but this room to me just screams "2013 trends!!!!"
This pretty much sums it up for me (if only I had an Anthony to yell it for me).
What do you guys think? What are your least favorite trends?

Government Shutdown Rippling
Across Aerospace and Defense Industry
Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Marion C. Blakey calls on Congress and President Obama to pass a bipartisan solution that reopens the government as soon as possible.
The Aerospace Industries Association calls on Congress and President Obama to work together to pass a bipartisan solution that reopens the government as soon as possible. The negative impacts of the shutdown range from industry worker furloughs on programs that support the war fighter to delays in new aircraft certification and space systems launches.
A number of our member companies have notified us that if this shutdown continues – which is affecting all of the Defense Department's functions involved in contracting – they will be forced to furlough tens of thousands of workers. The most immediate concern is the absence of Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) inspectors. Pursuant to DOD regulations, these inspectors are required to audit and approve parts and operations throughout the manufacturing process for military products. The manufacturing process must stop if these inspections and certifications are not performed, choking off the flow of new equipment to our armed forces.
Although the FAA has furloughed 15,000 employees, the air traffic control system was not immediately impacted by the shutdown. However, the shutdown forced the FAA to furlough all but about 100 of about 1,200 certification staff and inspectors. The remaining staff is being devoted solely to monitoring the safety and airworthiness of the existing fleet.
With only a small fraction of FAA certification engineers and inspectors on the job, the FAA will not initiate any new certification projects and will not be able to support smaller companies that rely on direct FAA support for design approvals. This will have immediate impact on small companies.
Virtually the entire staff of NASA has been furloughed, with only 549 employees out of more than 18,000 remaining on the job. This has stopped important research and development work and has the potential to delay launches of spacecraft such as the replacement of NOAA's polar-orbiting weather satellite, which provides vital information to predict hurricanes, tornadoes and severe winter storms.
Shutting down the government has been a tragic mistake. There are too many government responsibilities, from national security to public safety, which have been negatively impacted either directly or indirectly. It is harming our economy unnecessarily when it is only slowly recovering, resulting in widespread ripple effects and a loss of public confidence. In addition, a first-in-history default by the U.S. government on its public debt would have a much worse impact on the U.S. and world economies than the 2009 financial crisis. We strongly encourage our elected leaders to reach an agreement reopening the government and raising the debt limit as soon as possible.

Governor dismisses troopers' no confidence vote as labor tactic
Hartford — Frustrated over a dispatch consolidation project and leadership's "disrespectful attitude," the Connecticut State Police Union has taken a vote of no confidence in the department's commissioner and top deputy.
The union, comprised of 1,016 troopers, sergeants and master sergeants, announced Tuesday that its members voted 752-42 to express no confidence in Reuben Bradford, the commissioner of the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection and a Gov. Dannel P. Malloy appointee.
The vote was 760-34 against Deputy Commissioner Col. Danny Stebbins, chief architect of a plan to reduce the number of state police dispatch centers from 12 to five while replacing some trooper dispatchers with lower-salaried civilians.
The twin votes, although purely symbolic and without legal standing, were described by the union as unprecedented in the department's history. The union distributed the mail-in ballots to members early in the month.
"We're asking the governor to hear the message from the membership and find suitable replacements," union President Andrew Matthews said.
In announcing the tally, the union said its board of directors organized the vote because Bradford and Stebbins "are running the agency in a manner that is detrimental to public safety and trooper safety."
But Malloy said he has full confidence in the two men, and dismissed the union's action as a labor tactic that merely indicates a reluctance to embrace change.
"Change is hard," the governor told reporters. "I have the highest regard for the commissioner and the colonel. I think they're doing an absolutely outstanding job."
The troopers are especially angry about the consolidation project, which Matthews says was planned and enacted without consulting the state police union.
He said Malloy pledged in 2010 to involve union members in any talks concerning major changes to the department when he sought the union's endorsement for governor.
"The governor did make us a promise that we would have a seat at the table, and we haven't had that," Matthews said.
The Malloy administration has had difficulty working with the state police union. Last year, the union turned down the wage portion of a do-over concessions deal with the state workforce, keeping raises but losing job protection.
The union also sued the administration for failing to meet the state's statutory minimum of 1,248 sworn troopers. At the time, there were 1,080 troopers.
The General Assembly voted at its special session this month to enact a Malloy plan to do away with the 1,248 minimum and allow Commissioner Bradford to determine the "sufficient" number of troopers. Malloy said the staffing minimum, set by a 1998 law, was arbitrary and not necessary for public safety.
The mandate law was spurred when Heather Messenger of Chaplin was killed during an 18 minute wait after calling 911.
The consolidation project started this spring when northwestern Connecticut dispatch centers inside barracks in Litchfield, Southbury and Canaan were moved into one center in Litchfield. The number of on-duty dispatchers was reduced from six (three civilians and three troopers) to four (three civilians and one trooper).
Bradford said the consolidations will continue in the eastern and southern parts of the state "in a couple years." Once complete, the project will allow the "full-time equivalent" of 55 troopers to be reassigned to patrol duties, which, the commissioner said, would result in improved safety and an $8 million annual savings.
Bradford said Connecticut and Rhode Island are the only New England states still using state troopers to dispatch state troopers.
But Matthews, the union president, said the commissioner and deputy haven't disclosed the full details of their plan to the public or the governor. He said the project likely will result in some barracks operating like "sub stations" that close on nights and weekends. He pointed out that the department is currently installing 24-hour emergency call boxes outside some barracks.
"There will be a day when you walk up to a troop and the lights will be off and the door will be locked," Matthews said.
The union also claims that dispatchers in the newly-consolidated dispatch center are too overwhelmed to immediately answer all 911 calls and trooper radio calls. In addition, there have yet to be troopers reassigned to additional patrols, the union says.
"We aren't opposed to change," Matthews said. "We are opposed to change that is dangerous to our members and the public."
Bradford repeatedly has denied that trooper barracks are slated to close. State Police Spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said the new call boxes are for the rare occasions when barracks personnel are all outside responding to emergencies.
"These boxes were put there just in case," Vance said.
Speaking with reporters, Malloy compared the union's complaints to a situation in Stamford years ago when local police and firefighters complained about the city bringing in civilian dispatchers for a 911 center.
"It was a gigantic controversy because people see that you're making change." said Malloy, the city's former mayor.
Malloy's senior adviser, Roy Occhiogrosso, denied the union president's claim that his members have been left out of big issues.
"At the governor's request I told Andy Matthews he could come talk to us anytime, about anything. And he did — often, and on a bunch of issues," wrote Occhiogrosso in an e-mail. "But when someone proves to be untrustworthy, when he misrepresents discussions he's had, and when he misinforms his members, the trust factor is gone."

I did an internship last summer at High Technique, a computer security contracting company, where I worked as a technical intern. It was a really neat experience. I got to work with a lot of industry firewall products. I would get a project from my boss, and he would send me off on my own to try and figure it out and do as much as I could. When I did need help, he would teach me everything I needed to know and say, "Go ahead. Try it again." I really liked that.
There's a point where you have to go into the field and get real experience rather than just knowing what you learned from the book. Obviously, it's important to know the theory behind it, but when it comes to practice, you have to be able to do it and not just know it.

Core curriculum was one of the main reasons Allison came to Champlain. "I really like my Core classes because I can apply my knowledge and see how things connect in a variety of fields. Being able to think from different perspectives is a great learning opportunity. It gives you a tool set you can apply to any field."
"I went to Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Spain and Switzerland. Traveling made me realize how similar places can be. We may speak different languages, but we're not all that different. It was nice to learn that I can travel anywhere in the world and feel I can communicate with the people there."

Don't know what to do with old drugs?
Dispose of them properly at city hall this Saturday
Not everyone with a drug problem has an addiction. For some, it can mean you have a lot of old prescription drugs gathering dust around the house that you don't know what to do with.
It's a problem that occurs all over the United States, but Valdez is looking to do something about it by participating in a prescription drug drop-off program.
"It's a one-day collection site," Valdez police chief Bill Comer said in an interview. It is sponsored by "the DEA and the State Troopers and Alaska Police Chiefs Association."
There will be a no-questions-asked drug disposal day at city hall this Saturday, October 29.
The premise is simple. An unmonitored disposal box will be placed in the main lobby of Valdez City Hall from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. You drop off any and all unused prescription drugs you might have in the home.
"The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked," said a press release sent to the Valdez Star from Lori Saylors, support services director of Providence Valdez Medical Center.
According to the press release, the DEA claims prescription drugs that are forgotten in the home "are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse."
Meaning they can be easily stolen or misused by others and the person who had the original prescription may never know their old medicines have been abused by others. Chances of accidental poisonings or overdoses also increase.
Prescription drug abuse is on the rise everywhere, including Valdez, according Comer.
The drug-drop off site is not unique to Valdez.
The DEA says that nationwide, Americans turned in 376,593 pounds—188 tons—of prescription drugs last April at nearly 5,400 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners.
The drug drop off events are being held after Congress passed Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010.
"DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months," the press release said. " Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months."
Saturday's event will be the first of its kind in Valdez according to Comer.

text: Just got my first flatscreen TV, a nice LG 32" model. I have it hooked up to my Radeon 4670 and I've already watched MythTV through it. It's nice. I prefer the behaviour of a dual-head configuration over a "big desktop" configuration. I find big desktop temperamental, especially since the TV supports 1080p while the monitor only supports 1280x1024. However, I knew from previous experience that 3D probably wouldn't work on either head due to a long-standing bug with fglrx. I found this still to be the case (using 9.1) but I tried Unreal Tournament (UT99) anyway and it was accelerated. RTCW is also accelerated. This is a 64-bit Gentoo multilib system and at first it seemed like only 32-bit applications were working but I tried Half-Life through Wine and that wasn't accelerated. Has anyone ever seen this behaviour before? Just curious. I'd obviously like to see this bug fixed but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon. I'm really hoping 3D support in the open drivers materialises soon but I have no idea if that'll work in dual-head mode. Does anyone here know?

DETROIT (AP) - About 80 students from a Detroit high school have braved a wet, chilly spring morning to conduct a biodiversity survey on Belle Isle with help from University of Michigan researchers and volunteers.
The group gathered Wednesday at the island park in the Detroit River, braving drizzle and temperatures in the upper 30s.
The project by students from Western International High School involves locating and identifying various animals, mammals, plants, birds and insects.
Organizers say the purpose is to promote local ecological knowledge. The Belle Isle event is part of BioBlitz, a series of rapid surveys being conducted this year on college campuses nationwide.
The surveys are being coordinated by local chapters of the Ecological Society of America's SEEDS program. That stands for Strategies for Ecology Education, Diversity and Sustainability.

FRISCO, Texas — Last week started well for George John, but it ended in disappointment.
The FC Dallas center back had a few good days of practice leading up to what was supposed to be his playoff debut against RSL on Saturday.
But then, after a light training session on Friday, the second-year defender injured his left hamstring during a set-piece drill. That kept him out of the first XI for FCD's postseason opener, which cleared the way for rookie Jackson Goncalves to start in his place. FCD won, 2-1.
WATCH: Full match highlights
"It was a huge disappointment not being able to play in the game, but I'm glad the team did well," John said. "Jackson played really well and we got the result, so it was a good night overall for the team."
Despite the setback, John is adamant he'll be ready to play the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinal on Saturday at Rio Tinto Stadium (10 pm ET, FSC).
"[The hamstring] is doing better," he said after practice on Monday. "It was really unfortunate that I kind of tweaked it on Friday. I came in on Saturday, worked it out and it wasn't 100 percent."
This is the same hamstring John injured on Sept. 4 against Toronto FC, which forced him to miss the next five games. As a rookie, he was plagued by several similar problems in both his right and left legs.
During the regular season, John started 25 games and was one half of a solid central defense alongside Ugo Ihemelu, who also missed time this year after suffering a concussion.
Since Monday was a recovery day, John did some work on the side with the FCD training staff. He should be able to return to training on Wednesday. FCD have Tuesday off.
"George, I think, will be ready to go [on Saturday]," head coach Schellas Hyndman said. "George is very conscientious and doesn't want to be the one that costs the team a game."

Chicago motorists and some residents looking out their front windows soon can expect to see the towering digital billboards favored by Mayor Rahm Emanuel going up on city-owned property near area expressways.
The Illinois Department of Transportation has approved 11 locations for the 100-foot-tall electronic signs after months of wrangling over one of Emanuel's signature moneymakers and a Springfield agreement between the mayor and Gov. Pat Quinn.
The billboard permits are the first indication of movement on the massive advertising agreement between City Hall and conglomerate Interstate-JCDecaux LLC since May, when the mayor and governor endorsed a state measure designed to expedite approval of 25 of the billboards.
In all, the contract calls for Interstate-JCDecaux to put up 34 double-sided billboards on city land near Chicago expressways.
Three of the 11 approved signs are slated to go up near the Dan Ryan Expressway just south of the Circle Interchange near downtown, while another is earmarked for a city-owned lot near the junction of the Dan Ryan and Stevenson expressways, according to city records.
A billboard also is set for near the Harrison District police station in Lawndale, with another next to the Wentworth District police station in Fuller Park.
Two more have been approved for city-owned sites along the Kennedy Expressway not far from the junction with the Edens Expressway near houses in the Jefferson Park neighborhood.
Three additional signs got the OK along the Stevenson: one west of State Street south of the expressway, another on Wabash Avenue just to the north and a third along the frontage near California Avenue on the south side.
The City Council approved Emanuel's 20-year contract with Interstate-JCDecaux to operate the digital signs in December, throwing the ball to the state Transportation Department to evaluate the locations for their adherence to the Federal Highway Beautification Act and other guidelines. For several months, Quinn's agency did not approve any of Emanuel's sites.
Then Quinn and Emanuel reached their accord in the waning days of the spring legislative session. The billboard measure that got the ball rolling on the site approvals was passed by the Illinois Senate the same day a House committee advanced a broad bill containing pet projects sought by the mayor and the governor. It included the mayor's plan to expand McCormick Place and build a new hotel and basketball stadium for DePaul University and also a measure to construct an airport near Peotone, an idea Quinn has supported.
The agreement mandated that the state Transportation Department approve the proposed billboards "to the extent that the waiver does not contravene" the federal act.
The clock is ticking on approvals for an additional 23 electronic ads expected to go up. Emanuel is counting on $15 million from the program to balance his 2013 budget, and the city will get that amount from Interstate-JCDecaux this year only if all 34 billboards that aldermen signed off on have been approved by the state by the end of the year.
City Revenue Department spokeswoman Kelley Quinn said the administration expects to collect the full amount this year but did not say when the billboards would go up.
Emanuel's agreement with Interstate-JCDecaux is for at least $155 million over the full 20 years, but the $15 million amounts to an upfront loan the city will have to pay back. The company will pay the city $10 million more next year. Starting in 2015, however, the city will repay $5 million a year for five years, according to the contract.
Interstate executives donated $10,000 to Emanuel's mayoral campaign; JCDecaux won a lucrative contract for bus shelters under Emanuel's predecessor, Richard M. Daley. The two firms joined up to put forward the billboard idea last year.
The Emanuel administration selected the joint venture's proposal as the best from among five companies that pitched digital billboard plans as part of the city's digital marketing campaign.
The city did not put the billboard idea out for public bid, however, leading some aldermen to criticize the administration for not making sure it got the best possible deal.

Hi Team,
I have successfully completed my PMI-ACP exam yesterday in the 1st try.
The practice exam #4 in Saket's class is harder than the actual exam.
I am very thankful for the great materials that Saket put out.
I felt like going to the army when I checked in at the testing center to take the exam.
I took the whole 3 hours and had some chances to check the marked questions but went out of time.
All I was looking for was the word "PASS" on the screen.
When I got it, I almost jumped up to celebrate. Glad that I did not because other people were taking the tests.
Glad it is over!! I just got the message from PMI that I will get my certification in mail.
But the online certification is available to download right away, so I used it to update my LinkedIn profile.
Good luck to others!!!
It is easier than you think. Do not sweat!!! Focus on Saket's materials is enough!!!

TORONTO – Is there value in a "gap year" after high school?
That's the question Jonathan Nikodem faced when he graduated and weighed the financial and personal benefits of taking a year off before university to consider his options.
"I just had no idea," the 21-year-old student said of his post-secondary career. "I thought that I wasn't ready."
Sentiments like those are enough to throw many parents into a panic about their children's future, but financial advisers say that putting school aside can offer rewards to some young Canadians, if they craft a proper investment strategy.
"It's a huge risk … You could potentially put yourself in a situation where you wasted a year," said Christopher Dewdney, a financial advisor at DWL Financial Services in Toronto.
"You want to make sure you're going in the right direction."
On the flipside, spending a year in university for a program that you wind up hating can be like throwing money in the trash.
It's a factor that Nikodem took to heart when he decided to stick around his hometown in Sudbury to work at his mother's gift shop. His goal was to raise enough money to eventually live independently in Toronto while going to school.
Not every young person is quite so diligent when they take on a full-time job, said Dewdney, which is one reason that a "gap year" can be dangerous.
"It's easy to get tempted, and use that money to go out, buy clothing and have fun," he said.
"The lion's share of the funds should be invested."
Of course, before there's any money to invest, you need to have secured a full-time job before graduation, in order to avoid wasting time. Many graduates leave the job hunt until after school is finished, which means they're competing with a big crowd of other unemployed young people who are looking for summer positions.
READ: Gap year on a budget »
Dewdney suggests that once you find a job, you should set up an automatic withdrawal to save about 60 per cent of your paycheque in an account that you can't touch.
"Because you're dealing with such a short time horizon, you should be looking towards fixed-income style investments," he said.
"It wouldn't really make sense to introduce you to a more volatile investment."
High-interest savings accounts, government and corporate bonds, GICs and conservative mutual fund portfolios are suitable considerations, Dewdney said.
Tax-free savings accounts are also a smart vehicle for short-term investments and allow Canadians, 18 and older, to stow away up to $5,500 per year without being taxed.
Students should also utilize the "gap year" to its fullest by staying with their parents to minimize living expenses and maximize savings.
Use that time to test your ability to survive on a tight budget, said Robert McCullagh, an advisor at Benefit Planners Inc. in Calgary.
"Get yourself clear on what you have to live on," he said.
"If you're going to have $2,000 a month for expenses … do a dry run to see if you need additional financial resources, which might include grants, scholarships or student loans."
Amid all of the newfound responsibilities, it's tempting to give into the lure of exotic vacations or European backpacking trips that you might not be able to afford. If you have the passion to travel, but still want to save, set aside money dedicated solely to exploring, but don't go beyond your limits.
Nikodem put a financial cap on travel plans with a friend, and decided to visit South America for a short time and tour parts of Canada.
"I didn't want to waste all my money travelling," he said.
Regardless of your specific approach, a "gap year" also provides the opportunity to establish an emergency fund for school.
For Nikodem — who ultimately decided to take two years off before he enrolled at Ryerson University in Toronto — the fund gave him some leeway when securing a part-time job in the city proved more of a challenge than he expected.
All things considered, Nikodem said he's glad he didn't dive into more schooling before he was ready.
The extra money saved meant he was able to rent a downtown apartment within walking distance of the university and it also let him take a bit of time off while he eased back into academia.
But he said not all of the lessons of the "gap year" were tangible.
"It was the whole growing up thing that I took away the most," he said, while considering what advice he would give to other upcoming graduates.
"Don't rush into a program," he said. "You're only 18, you're really young. Just keep your eyes open."

Framework: FR044 – fr044_0800_v2
8 - Primary or Horizontal Divisions
1 - Secondary or Vertical Divisions
Part of series: FR044 Force 044 – Intertwined Segments
Series Keywords: interconnected, entwined, dependent, part of a whole, revolve, central, peripheral, intertwined, in the loop
This series suggests an intertwining or connectivity between objects surrounding a central object. Without the looping line, the surrounding objects seem independent and free floating. With the line, they seem part of a whole. Don't overlook these types of nuances when developing your slides.
Another concept for this series is "in the loop." You can use these layouts to assemble groups of people, departments, or entities.
The central and surrounding objects are small, so single words or short phrases should be used as identifiers. Let the graphic be a bold statement without the clutter of too much text.
There are two variations in this series. The surrounding and central objects are slightly different, but they both depend on the looped line to communicate the connectedness.
View the tutorial for formatting options. Simple animated reveals are beset with this type of concept.

You can dropship plus size lingerie for plus size profits because this is a red hot niche with plenty of potential for global sales!Lingerie, in and of itself, is a fantastic ecommerce and dropshipping niche. Lingerie has been a favorite for many hundreds of years and it seems highly unlikely that this trend will change any time soon. The plus size market ramps the popularity of the niche up considerably and if you are looking for a lucrative home business in ecommerce, you will be picking a proven winner if you choose this one.
There are a variety of products in the plus size lingerie niche that would be great performers for you. Here are a few examples of the types of plus size lingerie you might want to dropship:
Of course, here is one of the really good things about dropshipping: Since you don't have to pay for any of the products you sell up front, you can choose to narrow your focus and only sell one or a couple of plus size lingerie items or shoot the moon and sell all of them. With the dropship business model, you just decide which products you want to sell and only pay of reach one as it is sold and you have collected the payment for it from your customer.Here are 3 tips to help you make fantastic profits when you dropship plus size lingerie:I. Choose your wholesale product source wisely. Your success as a dropshipper will depend almost entirely on who you select as your product supplier. Be sure it is a reputable business with high quality products. The last thing you want to do is send someone shoddy, poorly made plus size lingerie. If you are dropshipping on eBay or Amazon, bad feedback from buyers will sink your dropshipping ship in nothing flat. Avoid this by doing business with a dropship source that carries only high quality products. You should also make sure that your wholesale products source ships promptly with discreet, secure packaging and that you are provided with a tracking number to furnish the customer. Another very important point is that your wholesale product source gives you real wholesale prices; otherwise you will not have enough of a margin for profit.II. Order one product of each type of plus size lingerie you intend to dropship. First of all, you can check the quality this way, but equally important is that you can take your own photos for your eBay or Amazon listings, your own website or whatever online venue you have chosen for your home business platform. In most cases, the product images on the wholesale product supplier website will be bare bones at best. You will do much better to invest a few bucks in at least a three quarter mannequin to display each piece of plus size lingerie to its best advantage. Make it romantic with a nice background, candles, flowers…you get the idea. This will give you a big edge over your competitors who are using the stock images! This may sound like a lot of trouble, but it really isn't and could net you quite a bit more in profits over time. You can sell the items you bought for photos after you are through with them. III. You can copy and paste the plus size lingerie products directly from your wholesale product source's website but again---these are likely to be plain vanilla, no frill descriptions that won't be as effective in selling your items as ones you write yourself. (or have written if writing isn't your forte.) You should romance your descriptions the same as the photos of your products. Understand that selling lingerie is different than selling dog beds or camping tents. Lingerie is a romantic sort of thing and even such basic necessities as bras and panties can be made to sound pretty and feminine instead of strictly utilitarian. Your original descriptions, written with good SEO for Google and the eBay Cassini search engine, will bring you more sales than your competition selling the exact items.Use these 3 tips to dropship plus size lingerie for plus size profits!
Anyone in the market for a profitable ecommerce niche for the upcoming holiday season might do well to consider this idea: Dropship GunVault products!Could there be a better time to dropship anything connected with guns and firearms of any type/ The mass nationwide panic ensuing from a fear that we will lose our constitutional right to bear arms has caused millions of people to stampede to the nearest gun store and stock up on guns, ammunition an anything in the entire firearm niche.Do you have a niggling doubt that maybe it is wrong to profit from this current craze?

Would you love to be working from home and wondering if you could make it work for you with the dropshipping business model?Good news! You can!There might be a better job somewhere than working from home but if there is, most of those who have their own ecommerce home business might find it hard to believe since they feel they have the closest thing to a 100% perfect way of making a living as exists in the world today.
Ecommerce has changed so many lives for the better. Before the World Wide Web, for instance, mothers who needed to earn an income were faced with the unpalatable choice of leaving their preschool children in day care or with a babysitter and going out to work or being broke. For many of these who were single parents, there really was no choice since no matter how much someone would love to stay home with their kids, someone has to put food on the table and provide shelter, clothing and other necessities of living.For retired people who want to supplement an income that doesn't stretch far enough in these days of rampant inflation and rising prices everywhere from the gas pumps to the grocery stores…working from home is a godsend.Ditto for disabled people and many others who have found to their delight that they can earn a great living or as much extra money as they need right from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. If working from home and ecommerce are the best things since sliced bread, dropshipping takes it up a notch toward total perfection. Why? Because it is the fastest, least costly and most profitable of any work at home job you could possibly find.Here are 6 tips to make working from home work for you with dropshipping:1. Decide on a hot niche, one that will have enough demand to keep you in traffic and sales. You can check out eBay to see which products are popular with a high sell through rate, check keywords of possible niche products in the free Google Keyword Tools to find out how many global searches are performed for it each month, read reviews on Amazon and check out the Amazon Top 100 in each category, as well.2. Find a reputable wholesale product source that will give you genuine wholesale prices, has high quality products and good business practices such as prompt shipping, sending low inventory notices so you don't over sell and more. 3. Choose your dropship products and then list them on your website, or the online venue of your choice such as eBay or Amazon.4. Market your dropship home business. Use social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, video marketing and more to drive traffic to your web site or listings. Remember, business goes where it's invited, so invite people to check out your dropship products.5. Provide great customer service. This is the backbone of any sales enterprise both online and off. Treat people right both before and after the sale and your customers will make the best sales people you could find, plus great brand advocates that send you referrals and new customers. 6. Treat your home dropship business as a business. Yes, it's pure bliss to be able to work in your pajamas and work your own hours….staying at home when the weather outside is frightful….avoiding the hustle and bustle of a long commute to work and back or spending a small fortune on gas back and forth to your workplace…but it's still work and you must treat it as a job. You will not be successful working from home if you fail to hold yourself accountable for good work habits. Use these tips to make working from home work for you with a dropship business!

Get started today---dropship jewelry for big holiday sales and kiss that dead end job goodbye!

NEH Announces Humanities High Performance Computing Initiative
As you may have seen in today's Chronicle of Higher Education, the NEH has just announced our new Humanities High Performance Computing initiative -- HHPC for short. Our goal is to start a conversation about how high performance computers -- supercomputers -- can be used for humanities research. We are working with colleagues at the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation to provide you with information on how high performance/grid computing and data storage might be used for work in the humanities. We are also announcing a new grant competition with DOE to award time and training on their machines. I urge you to check out our HHPC Resources page for more information.
Personally, I'm very curious to see where this new initiative takes us. It started over a year ago when the Office of Science at DOE approached us about making supercomputers available to humanities researchers. We invited a number of humanities scholars and supercomputing specialists to meet with us here at the NEH last July so we could think hard about this issue. Certainly, I think that everyone in attendance agreed that there are only a limited number of humanities projects today that require high performance computing. But one of the things we learned from colleagues at NSF and DOE is that this was the also the case in the sciences in the not-too-distant past -- scientists also had to learn about supercomputers before they could begin applying them to their work. Computation has proven an effective tool for scholarship and while supercomputers may only be useful for a small slice of the humanities today, I think it is safe to say that slice will grow in size over time. So think of this HHPC initiative as way of opening doors; a way of starting conversations and getting scholars, computer scientists, and information scientists talking about ways in which their fields might work together.

Price throws complete game for third victory
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A dozen David Price strikeouts plus 13 Rays hits equaled a complete-game 7-3 victory over the Twins at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night.
"That 27th out is always something special," said Price, who allowed six hits, two of them home runs, in boosting his record to 3-1. "It felt good to be able to go out and finish that one. I always like to finish everything I start."View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A dozen David Price strikeouts plus 13 Rays hits equaled a complete-game 7-3 victory over the Twins at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night.
"That 27th out is always something special," said Price, who allowed six hits, two of them home runs, in boosting his record to 3-1. "It felt good to be able to go out and finish that one. I always like to finish everything I start."View Full Game Coverage
In going the distance for the first time this season and the ninth time in his career, Price dominated the Twins, walking only one.
"One walk and 12 strikeouts, that's pretty good stuff," said manager Joe Maddon. "I was encouraged by his velocity. I thought his fastball was actually better toward the end of the game. His velocity was actually going north today."
The 12 strikeouts were Price's second-most in a complete game and the third-most in his career. He has now struck out 40 batters and walked just four this season.
"It was their night," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "It was Mr. Price. He threw the ball great and was dominant against us.
"He was good. He located his pitches early and was on a good roll there. The type of pitcher he is, he ended up staying in there and wanted to finish that thing. He made some pitches there at the end and made it tough on us."
The Rays took advantage of Monday's off-day to shuffle their starting rotation, moving Price ahead of Jake Odorizzi, thus keeping their ace on his regular five-day schedule.
Obviously, the switch paid dividends.
David DeJesus, who entered the game mired in a career-long 0-for-24 slump, collected three hits and knocked in three runs, James Loney also had three hits and two RBIs, and Ben Zobrist, Desmond Jennings and Matt Joyce had two hits apiece in support of their ace left-hander.
"We'll take all the runs we can get," an appreciative Price said.
The performance by DeJesus was particularly encouraging.
"That's a great sign," said Maddon. "We've been keeping sharp objects away from him recently."
"His confidence is headed in the right direction," Price said. "He's a big key for us."
"I'm trying not to press," DeJesus said. "Through the struggle we're behind each other, no matter what."
Price's only struggles came in the fourth inning, when he surrendered the Twins' three runs and served up two homers.
Price was perfect for the first three innings before Brian Dozier, leading off the fourth, belted his sixth home run of the season to left-center.
The next batter, Minnesota's Joe Mauer, lined a ball up the middle off Price for a base hit. One out later, Chris Colabello launched a two-run homer to left on a 3-2 pitch to cut the Rays' lead to 5-3.
"He just made a couple of mistakes," Maddon said. "The ball was up to Dozier and then he just made a bad pitch to Colabello. Otherwise, he was pretty much on top of his game."
"I just didn't execute there in the fourth," Price admitted.
"He's a good pitcher," Colabello said. "Obviously, his reputation precedes him. We got to him a little bit in the fourth. After Dozier hit the home run, Joe hit the ball back up the middle off him and he looked a little shook up. But he settled in obviously."
The Rays batted around in the bottom of the first and scored three times against the Twins' Kyle Gibson, who came into the game with a 3-0 record and a 0.93 ERA.
Singles by Zobrist and Joyce, plus a walk to Evan Longoria, loaded the bases with one out, setting up Loney's two-run single to left-center.
DeJesus followed with a long single off the right-field wall, knocking in another run.
The Rays pushed two more runs across in the third when Longoria singled, Loney doubled for his fourth multi-hit game in a row and DeJesus drove them both home with a base hit to right.
The Rays chased Gibson in the fourth, scoring two more runs to increase their advantage to 7-3 as Zobrist and Jennings both singled and Joyce delivered a two-run double.
"I don't think I did anything too differently, other than the fact that I didn't execute and they did a good job up there of working the at-bats," Gibson said. "Unfortunately, this was the outing where I didn't have everything going."
The loss was the Twins seventh in a row at Tropicana Field.
Mauer's hard-hit ball back to the mound in the fourth inning struck Price in the midsection.
"That's probably one of the last places I want to get hit," Price said. "I don't know how I didn't feel it or how it didn't break my [protective] cup. I'm extremely lucky. If that ball is two feet up, it's in my face or in my throat. I don't know how it didn't hurt."

Suicidal Thoughts lyrics song by Notorious B.I.G.
Here is the song lyric of Notorious B.I.G. : and you can also sing and watch music video
(Hello? Aw shit, nigga. What the fuck time is it, man?
Oh god damn. Nigga do you know what time it is?
Aw shit, what the fuck's goin' on? You alright?
Aw, nigga what the fuck is wrong wit you?)
When I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell
Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict shit
No sleepin' all day, no gettin my dick licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
Fuck that shit, I wanna tote guns and shoot dice
All my life I been considered as the worst
Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
I know my mother wished she got a fuckin' abortion
She don't even love me like she did when I was younger
Suckin' on her chest just to stop my fuckin' hunger
I wonder if I died, would tears come to her eyes?
Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
My babies' mothers 8 months, her little sister's 2
Who's to blame for both of them (naw nigga, not you)
I swear to God I want to just slit my wrists and end this bullshit
Throw the Magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit
And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red
I'm glad I'm dead, a worthless fuckin' buddah head
The stress is buildin' up, I can't,
I can't believe suicide's on my fuckin' mind
I want to leave, I swear to God I feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
But naw you wouldn't understand (nigga, talk to me please)
You see its kinda like the crack did to Pookie, in New Jack
Except when I cross over, there ain't no comin' back
Should I die on the train track, like Remo in Beatstreet
People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
My baby momma kissed me but she glad I'm gone
She knew me and her sista had somethin' goin' on
I reach my peak, I can't speak,
call my nigga Chic, tell him that my will is weak.
I'm sick of niggas lyin', I'm sick of bitches hawkin',
matter of fact, I'm sick of talkin'.
(hey yo big...hey yo big)
