SAT/ACT Prep Question of the Day
The accident left Tom not so much incapacitated as -------: he was left weak, but the doctors gave him reason to expect -------.
(A) enfeebled . . progression
(B) inconvenienced . . deterioration
(C) frustrated . . enervation
(D) vindicated . . complication
(E) debilitated . . recovery
Hint: The phrase "not so much ... as" indicates that the words on either side of "as" will be related, but will differ in intensity.
Answer: Choice (E) is correct. "Debilitated" refers to an often temporary loss of strength, less severe than becoming "incapacitated," or deprived of strength or ability. Since the impairment is serious but temporary, doctors might very well encourage Tom to expect "recovery" after a period of convalescence.

The resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus over an extramarital affair has raised and will continue to raise a number of questions.
First among them (OK, maybe not first, national security being more important, but stay with me) is why should he have resigned? I am always amused when journalists use the words "sex scandal" when writing about such things. Having abandoned most standards for what used to be called "upright behavior," culture now "tsk-tsks" when someone is caught in a compromising position.
Bill Clinton didn't have to resign after the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He lied about their assignations under oath, for which he was later impeached by the House, but not convicted by the Senate. His liaisons in public office were legion, stretching back at least to his time as governor of Arkansas. Petraeus' dalliance appears to have been a one-off. Is there a different standard, and if so, based on what? The late Senator Edward Kennedy's sexual liberalism was well known and he wasn't forced to resign. In fact, he repeatedly won re-election, despite his predilections. The sexual practices of numerous Republican and Democratic members of Congress over many years have forced some to quit. Others lost elections, but some are still in Congress and have survived whatever wrath remains for such things.
In our anything goes culture, what are the rules for public officials? Avoiding the potential for blackmail is certainly one, which is a crucial issue in the Petraeus matter, as well as whether Paula Broadwell, his biographer and mistress, had access to classified CIA information. In his resignation letter Petraeus cited "poor judgment" as a major reason for quitting. If poor judgment is the standard, rush-hour traffic in Washington would be a lot easier because there would be fewer government officials around clogging up the roads.
Then there is the potential political fallout. Petraeus backed the Obama administration's timeline for the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans, and he had been summoned to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the details, a summons he declined following his resignation. He has since reversed his decision and will now testify. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won't be there, though. She has a "scheduling conflict." Coincidental? Both Clinton and Petraeus should be compelled to tell what they know and when they knew it, or embarrassed by being forced to plead the fifth.
Now, back to sex. Culture promotes all sorts of pre- and extramarital activity as exciting, even commonplace. So how is a high-profile public official to know what is tolerable and what is an offense that can lead to resignation, firing, or impeachment? Divorce is another matter, as most spouses don't tolerate adultery well.
Wouldn't it be helpful to have a guidebook? Are there separate guidelines for military and civilian personnel? Should it be tied to one's security clearance? If the secretary of agriculture, say, is engaged in an adulterous relationship, would that be a lesser offense than adultery by the CIA director, or the secretary of defense? Should one stay in office and the others resign? What would Carrie Bradshaw advise? WTOP radio in Washington has compiled a partial list of notorious Washington sex scandals (wtop.com/862/ 3111171/A-scandalous-tour-through-DC) for those interested (and you know you are).
My favorite is the story of Major General Daniel Sickles, a colorful antebellum politician and later Union general during the Civil War. In 1859, when he became aware of his wife's affair with Philip Barton Key, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Sickles ambushed Key in Lafayette Square, across from the White House, shooting and killing him in broad daylight in front of a dozen witnesses.
Sickles' attorney argued for acquittal based on "temporary aberration of mind." The jury agreed, Sickles was acquitted and went on to serve the Union bravely, winning a Medal of Honor.
Apparently, standards were a lot different then. Continued...

Watch on YouTube in 1080p
hey, Cereal, when is Seth, or you or Phoe, gonna post the anniversary post?
Where was the game? I was hoping I could play it with the girls at my next party!
Meh, I give it a 4 out of 5. Not bad but not perfect, either.
Oh Cereal! That's not how you take care of e-mails! It's obvious you need something more like an M249, 200 rounds per box. Hell you'll be set! Never gonna have an e-mail problem again!
That was funny ^_^
wait a second...
really ceral also what u mean AJ has no good episodes yet fall weather friends and apple buck season are great or am i the only one who thinks that
Strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Shooting imaginary emails with guns? SOMEBODY MAKE THIS REAL!
Truer words have never been spoken.
In an unrelated note...
I lost the game. :(
Really a awesome website becomes a frist person shooter................................................YES!
I'm going to go out and say it...
Cereal, you have horrid aim.
Well, I guess this means that if Cereal doesnt answer your e-mail, you just lost the game!
Well played Cereal, well played....
Bahahaha, I found this way too funny. Probably because it's so accurate (unlike Cereal's aim). XD
Aaaaaand it bursts into flames. Good ending xD
PS: Applejack is best pony and I will not stand for any more of this "she needs a good episode" silliness. Go watch applebuck season again.
I will admit though she does need an episode that shows off her POSITIVE traits... fall weather friends sort of did, but it didn't totally focus on applejack.
>Rated P for Pony
>Game contains almost no pony whatsoever
I'm not sure I understand your rating system here... :P
Cereal, I must ask, but did Michael Bay help create this video?
I lost
My contact lens. Lend me a spare?
I hate Gmail, too. Google already owns about half of my life.
>Implying Applebucking Season or Fall Weather Friends or Look Before You Sleep aren't good episodes.
So along with the usual arsenal of modern weapons, are their any super weapons like "The Moon Cannon" (needs no explanation), "Spam Daddy" (automatically sent to the spam folder), and "M.O.A.R" (Mother Of All Rainbooms)?
Will there be a "Survival Mode" where the player can play as either Seth, Phoe, Cereal, or Tek - each with awesome voiceovers and one-liners - in a game that involves surviving wave after wave of emails?
What about DLCs? Will they include new maps? Will they involve random trips to swamps filled with crazy locals, or the dead rising, or even getting abducted by aliens?
I think you're doing it wrong, Cereal, you're supposed to read them, not use them as target practice. :P
Cereal, give us some of your stash. You must be smoking some good stuff to come up with that lol.
>Emails at 5m distance
>Unloads the whole clip
Aiming... Not necessary. Ever.
"I need that poision joke smoke to keep my wings loose" (as sung by DerpyGrooves).
But, but, but
Applejack did have a good episode! Episode 4, Apple buck Season? Ring a bell?
Clearly this game needs to be made into a movie, so we can have a movie licensed game after it. So we can have Equestria Daily The Game: The Movie: The Game
WAT indeed...@.@
You lose even if you do play it.
BTW, you just lost the game.
@mattwhite924 Well, not exactly, this isn't Global Thermonuclear War, this is just The Game, you don't even have to participate to lose.
...Oh, the carnage, the brutality, the merciless slaughter!
I think I'm in love...!
We love you!
Email stands for Evil-mail! Evil mail of love. :D
Is this a message Cereal? Because I'm getting a distinct 'Send me as much mail as you can' message.
This is Cereal's way of saying "COME AT ME BRO" and "Challenge Accepted" to spam mail
@Pinkie Pie
Make a mailable party or something. If anypony can do it its you.
so i keep throwing my money at the screen, but all it does is float around.
That video was absolutely hilarious, just what I needed right now.
And I would totally play Equestria Daily: The Game, it simply drips awesome.
HA! Aw, that made me laugh. Also, @The staff here at EqD; the amount of work, and the quality you put into this place is astounding and incredible. Thank you for checking all those emails and bringing us all these ponies.
@PonyPonyPonyBrony they dont check the e-mails, they shoot then with guns!!
Now you know what happened to that fan-fic you submitted in April...
You mean Seth hasn't gotten a single one of my love notes?! I send him like three a day!
True fact: no legitimate emails were harmed in the making of this movie. The emails shown were different variations of the fanfiction "Cupcakes". These emails have become a plague in Equestria since their introduction into the ecosystem. So it was decried by Celestia in a move ratified by the pony senate that "Cupcakes" can be hunted, as long as you buy a hunting license.
This legislation has been very well received by the equestrian citizenship ( especially considering the tough year it has been for Celestia in the polls. Things were looking very grim after the "Floor Cannon for Social Justice" was instituted by sole executive review.). It is estimated that around 75% of the invasive emails have been wiped out since the beginning of the program.
Therefore, it is highly encouraged for those who own small or large arms munitions to obtain a hunter's license. Together, we can make Equestria beautiful again!
In Celestia's name.
-Dr. Henry, Regent Historian of the Crown, Guardian of Equestrian Past, Recorder of Pantheonic Exploits
Oh, and my newest title: Press Secretary for Pony Fortress 2!
Hahaha... That was great. I guess I don't get to shoot my e-mail since I use AOL mail. Meh, I lke rifles better than hand guns anyway... Now I want to go to the range...
WOW that got off track! Cool video!
See, this is EXACTLY why I don't email any of you folks on the site team.
Doing my little part to cut down on the horde.
Lawl. Oh Cereal, you so silly!
The opening was hilarious. <3 I see your problem though. You must be using Hotmail or such. ;)
I'd play it!
Applebuck Season was one of my favorite episodes....
I lost the game. DAMMIT.
That aside, this had me in STITCHES it was too funny!!!
*I scroll down and see this article
(Equestria daily)
*eyes shift down
(The Game)
*Punches wall
o*pens a can of coke and chills to watch pony
Hm... I haven't sent any of my stuff along (Ok, I haven't had time to make anything) in awhile, but all of a sudden I have the urge to forward as much as possible as fast as possible. (Seriously though, isn't there an easier way to give us a hint?)
Also, it needs way more pony if it's going to get a P rating. Granted, everything could use more pony.
NO! That was my story update you shot there!!!
But seriously, that was awesome. I would so play that if it were an actual game. Wouldn't pay money for it, mind you, but I would play it. ;)
Pro tip: In the second room of the house you start in, there's a chainsaw under the bed. Trust me, it's the best weapon in the game.
Also, does anypony know if the rumor about finishing a level w/o getting hit once activates the portal, which takes you to a special bonus level which starts with you announcing an event, which then puts you in a horde like level, where everything spawns five times as fast as normal? (I've heard some call it the OC Pony level, and others call it the speedfic challenge level, so I'm not sure if these are truths or just unfounded rumors.)
I'm willing to bet you can unlock a weapon called The Spam Filter - A Vietnam era Flame Thrower. That will take care of those pesky e-mails.
Forget about Modern Warfare 3, this is the best FPS of the year!!!
My dear, I almost died.
Screw MW3, GOW3 and BF3, This was AMAZING.
I don't have moneyz to lend you, but at least take the cryengine...
So this is what happened to the drawings I sent in
That's what they probably do with half of my emails, lol
@M1Abrams He needs some of those SureFire high cap mags for his M16, then he'll be set. I don't think anypony running a website all the time can afford an M249...
Yeah, yeah, I know. inb4 >implying cereal doesn't have a paying job.
...does he?
"Ma name's Applejack an' ah don't have a hat and ah haven't had a good episode yet."
So funny. So true.
Darn, they are invading us >.<
How could a human like me play a Game rated for ponys ._.
Love it! Now I'm gonna to send you an e-mail or two, so you can know how much I just loved this here film. Or three. Let's think big!

CustomerElijah from Killeen TX
I had ordered the parts from Part Select and came with in a week. I ahd a Whrilpool microwave that had a door panel and vent grille that needed to be replaced and that was rplced with ease took less that five minutes to do. My Maytag refridgerator had it kickplate grille replace along with the pivot block that took all of about two minutes. The longest job that took about 5 minutes was my Whirlpool glass oven door that needed to be replaced, but that was pretty ease to replace also with an extra hand from my son. I just didn't want to break another glass door or I would have done it myself plus I was teaching him how to do self reparts.

Bo Bunny Press 9" x 9" Plain Boardbook Binder comes with 6 tabbed 9" x 9" Plain Board Pages. Have fun embellishing and decorating your ... Full Description & Details.
I am using this in a BPS class and I absolutely love this binder. It was easily altered inside & out and also holds the Bo Bunny Big Fat Arrows chipboard so that your album can be "mixed" up a bit.
Definite for someone who loves to alter!
I like all of the Bo Bunny Bare Naked Binders. They are great for so many things that everyone should have some. I like that you can dress them up with paint, paper, cloth or anything else you can think of.
Sturdy and strong. Easily altered and versatile.
Loved it! and will use one again I'm sure~
The extra 6 pk of chipboard "tabs" could be made into an album of their own! Highly recommend!
This binder is fabulous! I had so much fun taking it & making it my own. The versatility of the chipboard cover and canvas spine gives any project an extra contrast on textures.
Just what I've been looking for; I wish it could be produced without tabs also.

Americans' confidence in their ability to afford future care and maintain coverage ticked upwards in June. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Care Consumer Confidence Index (RWJF Index) increased from 95.8 points in May to 97.7 in June. The RWJF Index is a monthly survey that evaluates consumer confidence in American health care. It is tabulated by the University of Minnesota's State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) using data collected as part of the Surveys of Consumers, conducted by the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan.
The RWJF Index ranges from 0 to 200—with baseline set at 100 in spring of 2009—and is composed of two sub-indices. The first, the Recent Health Cost Barriers Index, gauges consumers' recent experiences accessing health care because of cost concerns. This index actually decreased from 99.0 in May to 98.8 in June. The second, the Future Health Cost Concerns Index, measures consumers' confidence about accessing health care or health insurance in the future because of cost. This index increased from 92.6 in May to 96.6 in June.

Forum Tips and Valid Topics
Is this the right forum?
This forum is a general purpose networking and communication forum. If your question pertains to NCL (System.Net), WCF, or ASP.NET, you may receive a better response posting directly to the forums for those technologies.General Forum Tips
Here are a few suggestions (in this order of relevance) that will help you to get the best answer to your question as quickly as possible:
Search for your question on the forums or in Visual Studio's help system first
-- it's likely someone may have already answered your question, and you
won't have to waste time waiting for it to be answered again
- Post in the correct forum
(see below) -- since the experts in various subject matters tend to
stick to the set of forums that focus on those topics, a question about
the C# yield keyword posted in the Common Language Runtime forum will
likely take a lot longer to be answered than the same question in the
C# Language forum.
- Give details about your problem
-- rather than "When I call Process.Start I get an exception, please
help", provide the exception type, message, and call stack. Many times
it helps if you attach a snippet of the network trace/sniff of the
error that shows the error. For getting network sniffs use Network
Monitor and for network traces use the built in System.Net tracing
according to this blog.
If possible, provide a succinct code snippet that demonstrates the problem. This lets us reproduce the problem on our end and allows us to come up with an answer where just a general question may not have had enough details. Having this information means we can answer your question more quickly, without having to ask you for these details and wait for your response. If you have a big code sample please trim it down to the relevant parts that will help us understand the problem better. - Try to pinpoint the location of your error –
This will help us get to the root of the issue quickly. Saying
something like "My application cannot read from server" is less likely
to find a quick solution as compared to "My application gets a 505 not
found even though file is present since the trace shows that
FtpWebRequest does not handle a 505 error for an xyz command"
- Make sure your title summarizes the specific problem you have
-- since we try to answer the maximum number of questions we can with
our time, we often skim through question subjects to quickly find the
ones that we know the answers to. A question with a title of "Urgent!
Help needed!" is not as likely to get answered as a question with a
title of "How to define a sealed class using CodeDOM". A more
specific, detailed title is far more likely to get a response than
a general one.
- Once
you've received a correct answer to your question, either from a
Microsoft employee, an MVP, or the community in general, please mark
the post as answered.
You can do this with the "Mark as correct answer" button that appears
on the entry containing your answer. This step is important, since it
lets the Visual Studio search engine know that there is an answer in
that thread for others who may also have your problem. It also lets
people scanning the forums know that they can find an answer to that
question by reading the thread.
- Report bugs through Microsoft Connect, instead of on the forums
-- this site allows us to see the bugs in our bug
tracking database and get them assigned to the correct person. It also
allows you to follow the problem through to its resolution, and is a
much better way for us to handle issues you find than a bug report
posted on the forums.
- Use the report button -- as moderators we try to keep spam and inflammatory comments out of the forums. However if you do catch something that we missed, don't hesitate to use the report button so that we can keep the forums on-topic and a friendly place to go for help with your .NET questions!

The life and times of HR application software (2012 in review) | ZDNet
2012 was an interesting one for Human Resources software. From Talent Management, Payroll, Analytics, HRMS and other niche HR solutions, there were a number of cool innovations, emerging trends and a lot of M&A with a side order of an IPO.You couldn't swing a dead cat at the recent HR Technology show without hitting an HR sales rep hawking their firm's HR analytics functionality. While most everyone claimed to have something, the depth of the solutions varied significantly. Most vendors' offerings were very new extensions of their traditional reporting tools.

At first glance, it looks like a normal summertime lemonade stand. However, the people running it are veterans of a nationwide movement to raise money for cancer research.
Eve Moxin, 7, her father Ed and her cousins Robbie, Jack and Bradley Gelsinger, 11, set up Alex's Lemonade Stand outside Kroger in Fuquay-Varina on June 8 and 10. Similar stands are set up once a year around the country in memory of Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a cancer patient who set up her own stand in 2000 at age 4 to raise money for a cure. Scott died in 2004 at age 8.
Ed Moxin said that the Foundation for Childhood Cancer took up Scott's idea and turned it into a one-weekend-per-year fundraising event.
"The goal is to have at least one lemonade stand in every state," he said.
Moxin said that this is Eve's third year doing the stand. Robbie Gelsinger said he has been doing the stand since he was 9 years old.
Moxin said that this year's stand was their first time setting up outside a public establishment. The stand had attracted enough community attention for Assaggio's to donate pizza for the young fundraisers.
Moxin said their streetside stand in his wife's home state in 2011 was particularly impressive.
"Last year we did a stand up in Massachusetts. We raised $100 in an hour just from cars passing," he said.
The group is setting their fundraising bar higher this year.
"Eve's goal this year is $500. Last year she raised $250," Moxin said.
Eve and her family would have stayed at their stand all weekend except for another commitment.
"We're here today [Friday] and we're here Sunday. Saturday [June 9] we're doing the Susan G. Komen Walk," Moxin said.

Eugene City councilors are considering a resolution opposing the transport of coal through their city. They heard Monday from a panel of four, including a mayor who's hoping that coal will pass through Eugene and deliver more jobs to his coastal town.
Before the meeting, coal transport opponents gathered outside the Eugene Public Library.
Inside, the council heard from Keith Tymchuk, the Mayor of Reedsport, who urges support for a coal terminal in Coos Bay.
"Many towns and cities along the Oregon coast have never recovered from the depression of the early '80s," Tymchuck said. "Now the great recession is cutting us to the bone. We need lasting jobs. We need family jobs. We need economic opportunity."
Tymchuck says a coal export terminal and the jobs supporting it would be a boon to Reedsport's economy.
Dr. Andy Harris of Physicians for Social Responsibility argues transporting coal through the northwest will hurt communities and contribute to global warming. Harris says there is nothing clean about coal.
"So coal dust has toxic metals like mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium," Harris said. "We know it is a trigger for asthma and it causes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Clearly, Eugene residents don't want to breathe coal dust in the air and have it settle in their gardens and yards."
Port of Coos Bay CEO David Koch says the plans already include coal dust mitigation and other safety measures.
Eugene city councilors will decide on the resolution, which also asks for more study of the environmental and health impacts at their October 22 meeting.

Chekkie's natural sense of style is a bit understated, completely effortless and always cool – she's the ultimate MiH girl, and our very favourite denim icon. It seemed only natural to incorporate her image into the line, so we enlisted the help of graphic artist Christopher David Ryan. Christopher beautifully transformed this archival image of Chekkie into the face-in-dove tee – an icon in the making.

Parise, Suter to Minn.; Flyers go to Plan B
The Flyers made huge offers, but in the end, they fell on deaf ears.
Parise, Suter to Minn.; Flyers go to Plan B
Sam Carchidi, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Flyers made huge offers, but in the end, they fell on deaf ears.
Defenseman Ryan Suter and left winger Zach Parise, the prizes in this year's free-agent pool, signed with the Minnesota Wild, a team that hasn't made the playoffs during the last four seasons.
Parise, a Minnesota native,and Suter each received 13-year deals for $98 million. That's an annual cap hit of $7.54 million, which is seventh in the NHL.
The Flyers are believed to have offered each player a 12-year contract in the $100 million neighborhood.
At 11 a.m., the Flyers had not heard from the Suter or Parise camps on Wednesday _ and that seemed like a negative sign.
On Twitter, some Flyers fans said it would be fitting for the duo to make the announcement that they were coming to America's birthplace _ Philadelphia _ on the Fourth of July.
Ah, dream on.
Suter and Parise are close friends and they conferred with each other during the free-agency period, fueling speculation they would be a package deal.
The speculation turned into reality.
They will try to help the Wild win their first playoff series since 2003.
The Flyers will turn their attention to trying to sign UFA defenseman Matt Carle. If he is commanding $5.5 million per year, the Flyers should pass.
Carle is talented and would help the Flyers, but in the long run, a multi-year deal with that kind of financial commitment might hamstring the club in the future.
Free-agent winger Shane Doan interests the Flyers, but he will stay in Phoenix if the franchise doesn't move. He said he will decide by July 9; by that time it should be known if the Coyotes are remaining in Phoenix.
The Flyers will try to deal for either Anaheim's Bobby Ryan ($5.1 million cap hit for next three years) or Columbus' Rick Nash ($7.8 million cap hit for next six years), a pair of high-scoring forwards who would give them some much-needed size on the wings.
