Dec. 30, 2005
BOSTON, Mass. - Junior guard Keith Simmons had 15 points and five rebounds, to lead the Holy Cross men's basketball team to a 59-44 victory over Northeastern at Solomon Court. The Crusaders turned in one of their top defensive performances of the season, limiting the Huskies to just 44 points and 30.6 percent shooting from the field. Holy Cross improves to 6-7 on the season with the victory, while Northeastern falls to 6-4.
Holy Cross played outstanding defense from the opening tip, outscoring Northeastern 15-2 over the first 10 minutes of play. The Huskies made only one of nine field goal attempts during that span, while being forced to commit six turnovers. The Crusaders would lead by at least 10 points for the remainder of the half, and expanded their lead to 17 points (28-11) heading into the locker room.
Northeastern opened the second half with an 11-5 run to cut the lead down to 11 points, then scored five straight points a few minutes later to make the score 40-31 with 11 minutes left to play. But Holy Cross responded with a 13-3 run of its own to take control of the game with just under five minutes remaining. The Huskies would get no closer than 14 points down the stretch, before the Crusaders finally won by 15.
Senior guard Kevin Hamilton (Queens Village, N.Y.) totaled 13 points, eight rebounds and five assists for Holy Cross, while freshman forward Alex Vander Baan added seven points and a team-high nine boards.
Janon Cole had 11 points and eight rebounds for Northeastern, which was playing without leading scorer Jose Juan Barea, who missed the game due to injury.
The Crusaders return to action on Monday, January 2, when they play host to Boston University in a 7:00 p.m. game which will be show live on the New England Sports Network.

The Mississippi State men's tennis team is one year older and has one more year of experience under its belt.
The Bulldogs also have experienced the feeling of hosting a regional.
MSU hosted a regional last season, but were unable to take advantage of the home court advantage.
Romain Bogaerts expected to make an immediate impact with the Mississippi State men's tennis team.
Even he has been surprised a bit with the level of success enjoyed with the Bulldogs as a freshman.
The last two weekends have been a roller coaster ride for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.Â
The No. 24 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs (36-13, 13-11) suffered a sweep to the hands of the Vanderbilt Commodores two weekends ago. They turned around and did a little sweeping themselves and took all three from Alabama last weekend.
Jonathan Holder established himself as the closer for the Mississippi State baseball team as a freshman.
In his sophomore season, the right hander is seeing more and more responsibility.
Most closers only feel comfortable when it's a save situation. Holder wants the ball regardless of what the situation is.
William Robinson was looking for someone to be the face of a camp to teach young boys the skills of life along with football.
He decided to turn to his good friend with the same name William Robinson, but this happens to be former Mississippi State quarterback William "Sleepy" Robinson.

The college baseball regular season is coming down the homestretch and there is still a lot to be decided.
The Southeastern Conference Tournament seeds are no where close to being set in stone. The No. 24 (Collegiate Baseball) Mississippi State Bulldogs (36-13, 13-11) are trying to solidify their position in the SEC Tournament, as well as, in the NCAA Tournament.
Baseball series in the Southeastern Conference all have a certain measure of importance.
Some of them have more significance than others.
When the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Ole Miss Rebels begin a three-game conference set in Oxford on Friday, there will be much on the line.
ACKERMAN – The Loyd Star Hornets stood between the Ackerman Indians and advancement in the Class 2A playoffs.
With the series tied 1-1, the pair of high school baseball teams faced off on Tuesday and at the end, it was the Hornets who moved one step ahead in the playoffs following their 10-5 victory.
HATTIESBURG – The Starkville Academy golf team shot a 326 at the Hattiesburg Country Club on Monday to finish fourth at the AAA State Tournament.
Almost a week after game one, Starkville and Oxford met on the diamond for the final game of a best-of-three series that would place one team in the quarterfinals while the other would see its season come to a close.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 08 November 2012 08:00AM
The children's toy brand has been in direct contact with agencies to invite them to take part in a pitch, which is being run out of its headquarters in Denmark.
Lego has traditionally used agencies on a project-by-project basis.
In the past, Lego has worked with Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R, which won the brand's global advertising account in 2001, and McCann Erickson, which was appointed to handle its global strategy in 2000.
Lego's most-recent advertising includes a 17-minute animated film that traces its origins back to a carpenter in 30s Denmark. The online video, created by Lani Pixels, was shared more than 27,000 times in seven days.
During this year's Olympic Games, Lego released a Team GB-themed outdoor campaign. The work consisted of 35 executions, created by the agency Dazzleship, featuring Lego Team GB figures and a strapline wishing athletes good luck.
In April, the brand recruited the presenter Ben Fogle as the first celebrity face of its toy ranges in the UK for a social media campaign.
Fogle fronted "the great forest escape" online campaign for the brand's Forest Police products, the latest sub-theme in the Lego City range.
Lego was involved in some controversy earlier this month because of a promotion it ran in The Sun. The brand was targeted by a group campaigning for The Sun to drop its Page 3 photos of topless models. The group produced a spoof image of a Lego Page 3 model.

Environment: Content from Across the ABC
04 Jul 2015 2:37:30pm
Gentlepersons, you have it all apex-backwards. Mortality inducing global warming is not a problem - it is a potential solution. The one _big_ problem mankind faces is exponential population growth - currently adding 1.4 million consumers per week, over and above the death rate. Ever heard of quality rather than quantity? As New Scientist popularises the merits of "Maggot Cake", grown on manure, as stockfeed for the animals we eat, let's consider whether increased quantity of life really negates the lost quality of life, present and future?
OK, Siberia may replace the American wheatfields, as this year's droughts become more common, but 70 million more mouths per year will soon eat that up. How many days of wheat reserve do you think the world has, to cope with even one globally disastrous harvest?
The methane already being emitted by the thawing permafrost is not yet included in the models, and won't even be in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report due out in stages between Sept. 2013 and Oct. 2014. (according to The Age, 28.11.12) We are flying blind, and the tipping point is occurring now. But what the heck:
Kyoto Agreement: Reduce emissions by 5% w.r.t. 1990
Actual to 2012: Increased emissions by 58%
Greenland is now rising 3 cm per year, and accelerating. It will rise a kilometre eventually, when all the ice melts. More earthquakes, anyone? Their parliament has just passed a law to let in masses of cheap foreign labour to fast-track billion-dollar projects, such as a mine near Nuuk. (Still requires approval from Denmark, but that's just a small delay, I figure.) With Chinese financing, it is "All systems go!", as soon as the ink is dry. The faster the ice melts, the faster we can ramp up our resource consumption. Melting ice is good for business. And rebuilding cities on higher ground will also be a substitute "growth" which can rescue our moribund economic system for a time.
Mid-term though, fire, flood, and 200+ kph storms won't do it, but a reduced food supply might reign in our population before we rape the planet totally.
In any event, it is a very interesting planetary-scale experiment we are conducting.

Cover Reveal. "We've Always Got New York" by Jill Knapp with Chapter One Excerpt
Part two of my What Happens To Men? series is coming out one month from today!
You can read Margaret Bonass-Madden's review here. Today I have for you a sneek peek at the first chapter of We've Always Got New York and Amalia is back from Brazil. Now, time to find out whether you are Team Michael or Team Hayden?
"We've Always Got New York" picks up after Amalia Hastings returns to Manhattan from her trip to Brazil to find that life has in fact gone on without her. Fresh off the plane, she is left feeling anxious and unresolved, left alone to pick up the pieces, and deal with the repercussions of choosing her own path over Michael. Amalia finds herself without an apartment, without a job, and starting to wonder if she's even without a best friend!
Now here's a sneak peak at the first chapter of "We've Always Got New York"!!
Chapter 1- Amalia
I could tell by the look on her face that she was expecting something from me. She was expecting something to be different. For me to be, in some way, changed.
I'm Amalia Hastings, and on August 20th at 9:17 pm, I was home.
Home. The word seemed funny to me because I didn't have a home to go back to. I moved out of my apartment right before leaving for Brazil and after my friend-with-benefits, Michael, showed up at my apartment, asking me to stay. I hadn't thought it through properly; I just knew I didn't want to live in that apartment anymore. Before my trip to Brazil I packed up what little stuff I owned and put it in storage for when I returned, assuming I would deal with it then. Well, "then" has become "now". So for tonight I was staying with my best friend Cassandra. Who was currently waving at me.
I knew what she wanted. She wanted stories. Juicy ones that involved hot hookups on the sand. She wanted to see pictures. Pictures of the places I went, the food I ate, and the hot guys I met. She wanted me to run up to her in a sun dress, hair braided and skin tanned, and explain, no, to pontificate, to her how life-changing my trip was. She wanted me to playfully link her arm around mine and gush about how amazing it all was. How I was changed forever. That I had a new appreciation for life, food, and music. She wanted me to tell her that I would never be the same.
But this isn't the movies and I'm not Julia Roberts.
The florescent lights above me flickered, making the airport look dark and ominous. I looked down at my hand as I pulled my rolling suitcase across the sticky, tiled floor. Not even my hand had acquired a tan. Three months in the Brazilian sun and my skin remained as pale as ever.
Cassandra was looking right at me with wide, unblinking eyes. I walked a little slower.
For some reason I couldn't pinpoint, coming off the plane felt like a surreal experience to me. Although I was relieved to have landed, and I wouldn't have wanted to stay in Brazil any longer, I still wasn't utterly happy with being back. I wondered if it merely had to do with the fact that I had no apartment to go back to and was feeling pretty untethered from not having a proper home.
There's an old saying. I'm not really sure where it's from or who said it first. Kind of the proverb equivalent of The House of the Rising Sun. It proffers, "Wherever you go, there you are", and up until about one month ago I had no idea what it meant. But now it means everything. It rings in my ears like a scolding mother, repeating itself over and over again until I submit.
I finally stood face to face with Cassandra, who was grinning like a fool at this point. She was dressed down for the night, wearing a purple racer-back tank top that showed off her summer glow, jeans, and gold flip-flops. Her blonde hair was pulled into a loose, messy bun and her make-up was minimal, apart from the extra-shiny, coral lip-gloss she was wearing. She reeked of summer.
"Hey," I offered, looking down at my sneakers. I wished I had more energy for her, but after ten hours on a plane it was all I could muster up.
Cassandra cocked her head to the side and smiled. Her hair swung back and forth and she popped her hip out like a model in training. She looked as fierce as ever, even dressed-down in comfortable summer clothes.
"That's all I get? Get over here!" she said, pulling me in for a hug.
I hugged her back for a moment and then pulled away, overcome with exhaustion and jet-lag. I smiled at Cassandra. She smelled like a salty coconut and I realized she had probably come straight from Fire Island, a beach not too far from Long Island and just outside of the city. That explained the dressed-down attire, but not the lip-gloss. Unless, of course, we were going straight back there from JFK airport.
I looked back at the gate. Most people I knew hated airports, but I liked them. They offered a chance to escape. Get on a plane and in six hours from now you could be across the country. You could be in a different town, in a different house, with a different group of people. I think we all took that for granted.
I could go back to Brazil right now. Or I could go somewhere else. I've never been to Cincinnati; I wonder what it's like there. Or maybe Savannah. I could definitely live in Savannah! I took a step backwards, away from Cassie. Back toward the inside of the airport. She just smiled.
"Very funny, Amalia!" she said through perfectly white teeth. "Don't sneak away from me now. I'm so glad you're back, I really missed you."
Cassie threw her arm over me and smushed our faces together. She whipped out her iPhone and flipped the camera application around so the front lens could be used and snapped a picture of the two of us. Before I knew it, she uploaded the picture to Facebook with the caption "So excited, Amalia is officially home!"
Without glancing back, she walked a few feet in front of me and remained glued to her phone. The back of her Havaianas smacking onto her heels echoed throughout the now nearly empty hallway. I let out a long sigh that Cassandra didn't hear and pulled my suitcase toward the exit.
Yep, it was official.
I was home.

One of my fellow HarperImpulse over has popped in today!
Thanks for inviting me over Jill.
There's one thing I've always loved about being part of the horsey set in Cheshire, apart from the men, and that's the great girls. If you want to meet some strong minded women, who are independent and capable, then head for almost any stable yard or country estate.
In Stable Mates I had the ideal opportunity to introduce lots of athletic, good looking guys – from the fit eventer Rory, to the older Billy and ex-model Tom, with a lot more in between. But, I also had the chance to create some wonderful female characters. The type that make a great and loyal best friend, the type you know will always be there for you. The type that don't have to have a man lurking in the background all the time.
Lottie is slightly scatty, very disorganised and often forgetful, but she's reliable and more than capable of handling a big horsebox or a stroppy horse. Then there's Pip, the journalist who is as well groomed as any of the horses, and as happy with the country set as the models, footballers and WAG's in nearby Kitterly Heath. Lady of the Manor, Elizabeth, has a penchant for a strong gin and tonic, but she isn't half as batty as she like people to think, even if she is decidedly eccentric. And although she might appear to be a bit of a trouble maker – she knows exactly what she's doing and why. There's loveable Sam who knows just how to keep her superstar other half happy. And then of course there's Tabatha, the goth teenager who already has a good idea of how to wrap her easy going father round her little finger…
Without all the strong female characters there wouldn't be a story – the men might think they're in charge, but we all know the truth, don't we?
Tom only half heard. None of this was turning out quite how he'd planned. Not that there had been any big master plan, but it definitely hadn't involved hitting the national headlines, landing a two-page spread in the local rag and getting the best shag of the decade followed swiftly by the hangover from hell. Nope, it had involved obscurity in the countryside. Yeah, great to be settling in, who the hell had coined the phrase rural idyll? Except, for some strange reason, he actually couldn't feel upset about it. Although the primary aim had been to settle Tabatha, and right now she didn't look that settled. Even with her precious four-legged and furry friend in tow.
'Are you going to come or not, Dad?' She was glaring at him.
'Sure I am, poppet.'
'I told you not to call me poppet.'
So much for the happy phase, that had lasted about five minutes, at a push. Maybe once she got the animal bedded and boarded she'd admit to being slightly satisfied.
'Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Mom rang this morning.' And with a satisfied smirk on her face, mission accomplished, she turned and strode off after Lottie.
His own happy phase exploded into the ether as he stared after her, his mouth open, with a new churning in his stomach that had nothing to do with vodka.

Stable Mates
Blurb -
Secrets and scandals, love and lust – when the 'Cheshire Set' are up against the 'Footballer's Wives' the only common ground is carnal…
Flirting and fun seem the perfect antidote for Lottie's battered heart, and where better to find them than back in tranquil Tippermere, home of sexy eventer Rory Steel, the smiling Irish eyes of hunky farrier Mick O'Neal, and mysterious newcomer, model Tom Strachan?
But when landowner Marcus James drops dead unexpectedly, and the threat of his waggish wife Amanda selling the heart of the village out from under them looms large, things look like they're about to heat up in and out of the saddle.
With tensions running high, and the champagne flowing as freely as the adrenalin, is it any wonder that love catches more than one of them unawares?

The Presidents Race put on by the Washington Nationals during every home game has become one of the more entertaining in-game events around the league, mostly because of the ridiculous ways Teddy manages to blow the race nearly every time. For the 2013 season, a fifth president will be joining Teddy (Theodore Roosevelt), Abe (Abraham Lincoln), George (George Washington), and Tom IThomas Jefferson): Bill (William Howard Taft). Taft's selection is an odd one, considering his status as an unremarkable one-term president. But the Nationals are essentially going with the logic that Teddy handpicked Taft to enter the race, much like he handpicked Taft to succeed him as president in 1908. But there's also a baseball connection with Taft, as he essentially created the tradition of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, which he did in 1910 at Griffith Stadium. And if you're into following mascots on Twitter, Taft is already there as well, so give him a follow if you're so inclined at @NatsBigChief27. [DC Sports Bog] [follow]

The mathematical, musical problem solving adventures of a 10 year old alien boy from the planet Numbearth.
Adam's world changes forever the day he discovers the powers of his grandfather's calculator. Once an unenthusiastic student of a school on Numbearth, the calculator now provides him with the powers, and most importantly, the passion to solve any mathematical problem through song. The Number Crunchers are singing bearded creatures that provide Adam with quirky, short, sharp and memorable songs.
Samuel Kordan: Sam is a Special Educational Needs teacher in Solihull. He has been teaching since 2007 and previously taught mathematics at a large comprehensive school in Oxfordshire, a small multi-cultural school in New Zealand. He has had a keen interest in music from a young age and has played bass guitar in several bands.
James Summerfield: James and Sam both met at Hazel Oak Special school where writing, performing and teaching maths songs became a regular feature. He later moved to George Cadbury's Bournville Junior School, and introduced the songs to his year 3 class. Outside of teaching, James is a singer-songwriter. His has released a collection of albums released under various labels. He also has a history with the BBC through his 2 previous sessions for John Peel.

Summer I grades are due today at noon. The grading system will be turned off soon after the deadline and we will begin processing. Grades will be available for students to view as soon as processing has been completed, which we anticipate will be sometime in the late afternoon. Students will be notified through their wmich.edu e-mail account if their academic standing changes to probation, extended probation, final probation or dismissal.
Waitlist notification will be turned off Wednesday afternoon and any student still remaining on a waitlist will be deleted at the end of the day Thursday.
Summer II census will be occurring Friday. Please make every effort to ensure all students attending a Summer II course are registered in Banner by the end of the day Friday so they can be accurately reflected in our census counts.
The security access area in GoWMU has a new look:
The new center is easier to navigate and is more intuitive for finding the information and/or forms you need. The link is located in the same place in GoWMU, at the bottom of the My Work channel.
All the Request for Security Access forms have been updated. They are more user-friendly and have been standardized as much as possible. Please delete all old forms as only the new forms will be accepted. As with any new form or process, your feedback is appreciated. If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions please contact Kathy Rix.
There is a lot more to see! Visit some of our friends at WMU to learn about academics, costs of attendance, and campus life.

AQM is a quality control company providing inspection services in the textile industry. In order to find an appropriate solution to your needs, we provide different services:
Our quality control services allow you to improve your supply chain.
AQM does not provide sourcing services and is not able to help you find a supplier, in order to keep its independence and integrity towards factories.
AQM is specialized in textile quality inspections, which includes home textiles, fabrics, garments and accessories (bags, belts…).
AQM has a fast booking process, so you can book your quality control 48 hours prior inspection.
AQM inspection process follows ISO 2859 procedure and checks these different points:
Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) standard refers to the maximum percentage of defects that are acceptable in a sampling plan. In AQM inspection procedures, this coefficient is calculated through ISO 2859, and the chosen quality level is adapted according to the customer's requirements.
According to the AQL standard, there are three general inspection levels (I, II and III). This inspection level is the relation between the lot size and the sample size. Inspection level choice is made by the customer but most of the times, but by default, the inspection level is II.
The number of pieces taken is defined by the inspection level chosen (level I, II or III) and by the number of pieces presented during the inspection.
For one man-day, a maximum of 2 references or 325 pieces can be inspected.
Our man-day also includes:
After you check the inspection's result in the AQM report, you can decide whether you accept the goods, reject them, or carry out another inspection. As an independent company, we do not interfere in your decision and will inform your supplier about your decision.

The Glenlivet 1972 Vintage
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.29% 8 A little woody. Choice of cask?
Locke's Single Malt
Single Malt - Ireland - 40.00% 7 Beautifully balanced with toasted dryness.
Banff 1966, 31 Years Old, Old Malt Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 7 Banff was never a classic, but it is an evocatively old-fashioned Highland malt, and it has stood up reasonably well to great age.
Glendullan 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Very pale indeed. Wood a little worse for wear. Has a hard edge, but becomes silky and disrobes quite sexily.
Glen Moray 12 Years Old, Chenin Blanc Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Smooth body, beeswax-like. The wine adds an element, but many loyalists will miss the previous version.
The Glenlivet 12 Years Old, French Oak Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 The oak does not dominate, but is quite powerful for such an elegant malt.
Oban Distillers Edition, Montilla
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Demonstrably an evocative whisky. Salty and winey, but neither as overt as in the comparable Glenmorangie Fino.
Glenmorangie Sherry Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Quite heavily sherried, but the distillery character turns out to be surprisingly resilient.
Chivas Regal 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% 8 The flavours tail off, as though the whisky is going to sleep. Smooth and easy, but lacks liveliness. Springtime never quite blossoms into summer.
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 54.20% 9 This is more like a supercharged Wild One. Defiantly robust, but with Devilish charm. I love it.
Glenturret 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 After dinner.
Ladyburn 1973, 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.40% 6 I am pleased that this very rare malt has been made available. Ladyburn is a product about which I am frequently asked. Sad to say, its greatest appeal is as a collector's item.
Old Pulteney 15 Years Old, Sherry Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 If you like whisky on your therapeutic porridge (and who doesn't?) this is the salty one.
Kingsbury Glencadam 1971, 28 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.60% 7 Lacks roundness, structure, balance. I was sorry to hear that this distillery has been closed. Temporarily?
The Glenlivet 1967 Cellar Collection
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 9 The Glenlivet is the fruitiest, most flowery and most delicate.
Private Collection Imperial 1990 Claret Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 The wine seems to have made common cause with the juicy sweetness, and the two have overwhelmed the cereal-grain and peat smoke that usually make this a more robust malt. This version would be a good ...
Chivas Regal 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Delicately balanced. Clean. Drinkable. There is an element of luxury, but never quite the frisson of luxury that the marketing implies.
Whyte & Mackay 12 Years Old
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Do you have a sweet tooth? Verges on the liqueur-ish.
Johnnie Walker Black Label
Blended - Scotland - 40.00% 9 Deceptively gentle at first. I have on occasion been completely led astray by what seems to be mildness of this whisky, then taken on a journey of rediscovery. I find new flavours every time.
Scotch Malt Whisky Society Glenlivet 24 Years Old, 2.35
Single Malt - Scotland - 61.00% 7 A heavily sherried whisky that is nonetheless surprisingly lively for its age.
The Glenlivet 12 Years Old American Oak Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 Lacks the subtlety of a more conventional Glenlivet, but will charm some consumers with a richer, creamier, style. Very drinkable indeed.
The Macallan Twenties
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 Despite a relatively full colour, suggesting plenty of sherry, the Macallan flavours shine through. The driest of these bottlings.
Wild Turkey 10 Years Old, Russell's Reserve
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 50.50% 8 Slightly austere and cerebral. One to sip while watching a video of an art-house movie.
Jefferson's Reserve 15 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.10% 8 Stylish and disarming, but not to be taken lightly. Reminds me of Kentucky's greatest boxer.
Sam Houston Very Small Batch 10 Years Old
Bourbon - U.S.A. - 45.00% 7 An attractive, tawny, colour and a good, straight-ahead, whiskey. Could be more complex at ten years. Ideal with a Texas barbecue?

Dear White People is sure to become both a cult hit and a staple on college campuses across the country, and I'm glad for it since the movie ultimately ends with more questions than answers. And with an issue as multi-faceted as racism, that is as it should be.
With the mid-term elections looming so closely, much ado is being made about Hispanic voters staying home. Latino voters -- who primarily vote during presidential elections anyway -- are just not that enthused.
While politicians and other elected officials are making every effort to convince more Americans to vote in the upcoming national election, there looms an unfathomable barrier to people with disabilities as they seek to exercise their most basic and important right as Americans: the right to vote.
The tea party and other elected extremists cannot bring themselves to believe that voters just aren't buying the poisonous policies they're trying to sell. So they operate under the belief that if you won't vote for them, you shouldn't vote at all.
Forcing voters to use photo ID and perpetuating the myth of rampant voter fraud is nothing more than a strategy to keep growing minority communities on the sidelines. And unfortunately, it works.
The Supreme Court said Saturday that, for the first time, it is allowing a voting law to be used for an election even though a federal judge, after conducting a trial, found the law is racially discriminatory in both its intent and its impact, and is an unconstitutional poll tax.
With continued officer-involved shootings, attempts at voter suppression, and ongoing racial and economic disparities, it is easy to push voting to the side. But it is precisely because of tragedies like the deaths of young Michael Brown in Ferguson and Eric Garner in Staten Island, and because of an unequal educational and employment system, that we need to show up at the polls.
Wherever traditionally under-registered people congregate, this has the potential to do more than reach people in a partisan fashion, or by phone or email.
We sacrifice salary to adhere to an ethical code. Our stance on social issues is largely liberal, though our opinions paradoxically, and perhaps ignorantly, contradict themselves.
Republicans have come up with three new approaches to dilute the minority vote and, where possible, prevent minorities from voting.
We need to change the face of the U.S. Senate. It's the only way to finally start getting things done in Washington. And in 2016, when we elect a feminist woman as president, she'll have the allies she'll need to enact her agenda.
Powerful forces, acutely aware of the threat the American youth vote could pose to their interests, are actively working to silence the power of young people at the polls prior to November's midterm elections. We need to make sure they don't succeed.
It does seem a bit ridiculous, doesn't it? That we still have to fight for voting rights, fight against laws that seek to suppress the vote, laws that will have a disproportionate impact on those Americans who -- had they been of voting age before 1965 -- would likely have been barred because of their race?
This is not just about electing black and Latino leaders to local, state and national office, but also holding those leaders accountable -- setting an agenda and building the type of power to ensure policies and laws reflect our values and needs.
As the U.S. Supreme Court rightfully makes way for same-sex marriage across the country, it simultaneously regresses policy on another civil liberty, voting rights.

SDN Staff Reports
An early-morning mobile home fire claimed the life of an Oktibbeha County woman on Thursday.
The fire on Maben-Sturgis Road engulfed the bedroom area of the mobile home, killing 51-year-old Donna Barmore, who was believed to have been asleep inside. Barmore was badly burned, volunteer firefighters said.
County Fire Services Coordinator Kirk Rosenhan said a passerby driving on Maben-Sturgis Road about 6:30 a.m. Thursday saw smoke coming from the mobile home and called firefighters.
Maben volunteer firefighters responded to the home and found the end where the bedroom was located engulfed in flame, Rosenhan said. Mathiston volunteer firefighters quickly arrived to back up those from Maben and the fire was extinguished within 15 minutes, Rosenhan said.
Barmore's body was found by firefighters shortly after flames were extinguished, Rosenhan said. Flames had burned through the floor in the bedroom where she was found, he said.
The rest of the mobile home remained largely intact, but did sustain smoke and heat damage
Coroner Michael Hunt, Oktibbeha County sheriff's deputies and the State Fire Marshal's Office are investigating the cause of the fatal blaze, said Rosenhan, who had no further information about what ignite flames.
Barmore was known in the community for her work with the American Red Cross in disaster response and emergency preparedness training. She recently had been working with the newly formed Oktibbeha-Starkville Emergency Response Volunteer Services (OSERVS), conducting multiple emergency training program for local school children and at day care programs.
Her body has been sent to Jackson for an autopsy. Funeral arrangements for Barmore are being handled by Oliver Funeral Home in Eupora and will be announced as soon as details become available.
Members of Double Springs Baptist Church, where Barmore was a member, are working to assist the family.

Reviews for the Asus UL80Vt-A1
Source: Laptop Mag
Of the numerous 14-inch Optimus notebooks we've reviewed so far, the ASUS UL80Jt stands out as one of the best. For $869, you get excellent endurance for a system this size without sacrificing too much performance. If you're looking for something with a little more graphics muscle, then the Gateway ID49C08u ($849) is the better option. But if all-day mobility trumps gaming prowess, then the UL80Jt is the way to go.

Asus has its work cut out for it in finding a market for the UL80Vt-A1. This ultraportable laptop has a higher price ($849) than many similarly specced competitors, though it's in the same ballpark as its $800 stablemate, the Asus UL30A. So how does Asus justify the price tag? The UL80Vt-A1 covers its base respectably. Strong battery life and surprisingly responsive performance give Asus's latest rig two solid legs to stand on. The only major drawbacks here are the price and that wretched mouse.

When laptops equipped with consumer ultra low-voltage (CULV) processors first came on the market, they tended to be minimalist in design—much like the first netbooks—and focused on having a sleek form factor more than anything else. Like netbooks, these laptops eventually evolved into larger, more capable systems. Indeed, the first CULV laptops were razor thin, like the MSI X340, Acer Aspire Timeline AS3810T, and the Editors' Choice ASUS UL30A-A1. The CULV-equipped ASUS UL80Vt-A1 laptop is loaded with lovable features, including switching graphics technology, a huge battery, and a metallic design.

The ASUS UL80Vt is a 14" thin-and-light laptop with 10 hours of battery life, an overclocked processor, and switchable Nvidia graphics. Read on to find out if this battery-friendly powerhouse is worth your money. The ASUS UL80Vt is a notebook we really want to like but has too many drawbacks to overwhelmingly recommend. While it has a stellar ten-hour battery life, sleek design, and good overall performance, its weak build quality, abysmal keyboard, and unfriendly touchpad prevent us from signing its praises.

This lightweight powerhouse combines good graphics punch with over 9 hours of battery life.The ASUS UL80Vt costs more than other ULV thin-and-light notebooks, but it's worth the extra money for the better graphics performance. If you're looking for something lighter and don't need an optical drive, you may want to consider either the 4.4-pound Dell Studio 14z or the 13-inch ASUS UL30A, which weighs only 4.0 pounds. But if you want all-day battery life and good performance in a sleek 14-inch system, the UL80Vt is a very good choice.

Somalia MPs have been discussing the 2013 draft budget document prepared by the Council of Ministers and tabled in Parliament by the Minister of Finance and Planning, Mohamud Hassan Suleyman.
The Minister distributed copies of the country's US$ 103,893,000 budget for 2013 to the MPs for approval. Discussions have concentrated on a number of areas including emphasis on the distribution of the proposed budget to administrative matters, social services such as education and health, and infrastructure sectors including state buildings, roads and other basic aspects seen as central to reviving the wellbeing of the Somali people as a whole. As part of their meetings on the budget, the MPs convened on Wednesday (December 26th) and finalized discussions with a demand that the Cabinet should re-submit a more refined and acceptable budget proposal.
Of the 164 MPs present for the session, 70 voted against the budget, and fifty for, with 44 abstentions. Speaker Mohamed Osman Jawari told the Minister that the government now had thirty days to amend the budget and then bring it back to Parliament for approval. It seems the MPs want to see a different and what they consider a more realistic distribution of resources, more in line with the Provisional Constitution, with greater emphasis on the security sector including stipends for members of the armed forces and on social services (particularly education and health). Overall, the MPs want the distribution to be based on the priorities of the economic pillars of the country.

A pro-democracy group, the Coalition of Youth and Student to enhance Peace and Democracy in Liberia has strongly expressed its disagreement and condemned recent claim by The Pilot newspaper on Monday, December 3, 2012 and Wednesday, December 5, 2012 respectively that there is a massive looting at the Central Bank of Liberia.
In a release issued yesterday in Monrovia, the group through its Executive Director, Amos B.S. Kanneh refuted claims by the newspaper when it said that the 300 million reserved that had been talked about has been used for Dr. Jone's personal presidential ambition.
The Consortium of Right Groups in Liberia is therefore, calling on the media to provide evidence to the Liberian people because they believe that such allegation has the propensity to undermine the good work of Dr. Mill Jones.
According to the group's Executive Director, Dr. Jones has demonstrated high degree of leadership ability that is characterized by high level of accountability, transparency and efficiency.
"All of these are reflections of good governance that gives birth to zero tolerance against corruption and other forms of administrative ineptitude as evidenced by LACC and G.A.C annual audit reports on C.B.L," the Youth and Student group intimated.
According to them, with the farsightedness and excellent regulatory leadership ability, the CBL was able to introduce several monetary measures and decentralization policies in line with international best practices in every commercial bank, and other financial institutions operating in the country.
"Today, every government employee can enter in any commercial bank in any part of the country to receive their just salary or benefit without any problem. Such measures are also coupled with the introduction of a comprehensive micro-finance program made by the CBL Governor through some commercial banks," the release said.
The group among other things said these regulatory actions have been paid off well in terms of creating opportunities for Liberians to access loans from commercial banks to improve the livelihood of the people with little interest rate in return.

Ryanair, the shamelessly huckstering Irish airline that revolutionized European travel with often dirt-cheap fares to former Soviet airbases and other remote strips of tarmac, is pushing its third try for a takeover and exterminiation of its beleagured rival Aer Lingus, of which it already holds 30 percent stake, and stay tuned for a ruling by the EU competition authorities on February 6. Few expect a positive ruling, but Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary is a man who never backs down from a fight or a tirade against regulators with an outrageousness that no other CEO would dare.
So what better time to list ten or so of his wildest (and often partly true) assertions?
1) The Future of Air Travel:
"Free tickets. In a decade or so, airlines will pay travelers to distribute people around Europe. The airline industry is Tesco, is Ikea, is network TV in the way viewers watch for free and advertisers pay for access to them, is the Internet in the same way that websites earn money for delivering click-through traffic to other sites."
2) Environmentalist Hypocrisy on Air Travel:
"The chattering bloody classes, or what I call the liberal Guardian readers, they're all buying SUV's to drive around London. I smile at these loons who drive their SUV's down to Sainsbury's and buy kiwi fruit from New Zealand for Christ sakes. They're the equivalent of environmental nuclear bombs."
3) More on Environmental Hypocrisy:
"We want to annoy the f…ers whenever we can. The best thing you can do with environmentalists is shoot them. These headbangers want to make air travel the preserve of the rich. They are luddites marching us back to the 18th century. If preserving the environment means stopping poor people from flying so the rich can fly, well screw them.@
4) Consultants Are Useless:
"I believe hiring consultants is an abdication by management of their responsibilities. If the consultant is so good at managing change, then why not hire him to run the company and do it himself? Every idiot who gets fired in the industry shows up as a consultant somewhere."
5) Refunds? You Got to be Kidding!
"You are not getting a refund so f'ck off. We don't want to hear your sob stories. What part of 'no refund' don't you understand?"
6) On Obesity:
"Nobody wants to sit beside a really fat fuc'er on board. We have been frankly astonished at the number of customers who don't only want to tax fat people but torture them."
7) A Nurturing In-Flight Experience?
"Anyone who thinks Ryanair flights are some sort of bastion of sancitity where you can contemplate your navel is wrong.. We actually bombard you with as many in-flight announcements and trolleys as we can. Anyone who looks like they are sleeping, we wake them up to sell them things."
8) Paying for Airline Toilets:
"One thing we have looked at is maybe putting a coin slot in the toilet door so that people might actually have to spend a pound to spend a penny in the future. If someone wanted to pay 5 pounds to go to the toilet I would carry them myself.
9) In-Flight Blue Movies
"I'm not talking about having it on screens on the back of the seats for everyone to see. It would be on handheld devices. Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?"
10) Bumping Up Drink Sales:

Hoosiers Nearly Sweep Weekly Conference Awards
March 28, 2011
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Hoosiers earned two of three Big Ten weekly awards on Monday (March 28). Micah Johnson was named the conference's Player of the Week and Dustin DeMuth grabbed Freshman of the Week honors. Purdue's Brad Scheiber was tabbed as the Pitcher of the Week.
It marks back-to-back weeks for Indiana nabbing the Player of the Week accolades after Alex Dickerson did so last week (March 21). DeMuth is also the second IU frosh to win that award as Ty Downing was selected exactly one month ago on Feb. 28.
Johnson picks up Player of the Week honors after hitting .692 and slugging 1.000 to lead Indiana to a 2-1 record last week. The second baseman recorded three hits and scored at least two runs in each of the Hoosiers' three games last week, also going 6-for-6 on the base paths. The sophomore racked up an OPS of 1.733 on the strength of four doubles, scored eight total runs and drove in another. Johnson was also perfect in the field, making a leaping grab in the bottom of the ninth in Indiana's win over Evansville to preserve the victory. Following last week's performance, the Indianapolis native ranks among the Big Ten's top 10 in batting average (.391), slugging (.511), on-base percentage (.448), runs scored (26), doubles (7) and stolen bases (14).
DeMuth earns Freshman of the Week honors after batting .600 for the week. The freshman reached base at a .625 clip and slugged .733 to combine for a OPS of 1.358. The infielder had three multi-hit games and scored and drove in at least one run in each of the Hoosiers' three contests. Overall, the LaPorte, Ind., native totaled nine hits, including two doubles, scored five runs and drove in four. DeMuth currently ranks among the Big Ten's top 10 in average (.368), on-base percentage (.435) and runs scored (18).

Zega Pro Panniers
I'm thinking about getting the 38L anodized (black) versions for my new 2012 990 Adv. It looks like the Touratech racks would give me multiple options for mounting soft bags for off road use, or even Pelican cases. I know a lot of the inmates have experience with these bags and I would welcome feedback. The only thing holding me back is the price ($1400) though I realize this is in line with other high end pannier set ups (Jesse, Metal Mule). Cheers! Steve

I have the 45L (plan on general use to be able to carry and secure stuff, hold my gear when off the bike when local and no planned offroad) and will use softbags for extended combo trips. I like them and the little upgrades (cable keeper for the top so it doesn't pop off) corner guards and strong mounting. The tops need some adjusting to close with one side locked and used as a hinge but not that big a deal. They are heavy though wt is relative to size and can't speak to the others. One thing that would be nice to be a free option for the cost are the locking latches. They key the locks and you install them, easy but you pay extra unlike others that are included.
Also, not affiliated just sayin' as I've done this...If you plan going 2-1 exhaust and want a CJ tank or cargo box you will have to have the rear brace tabs rewelded lower (drop them down the width of the tab) for the tank/box to work with the brace. I got a local shop to reweld it and wasn't $$. Works great.
Good luck.

I've had the 38L Zega Pros on my 990 for two years and have been very satisfied with them. I went with the 38 L size as a compromise between storage capacity and overall width when mounted on the bike. It also helps to prevent the over-packing syndrome. If I do need extra storage (camping stuff), its just a matter of strapping a waterproof duffle to the top rack.
The Touratech racks are not cheap, but they are well made and easily adaptable to strapping on soft cases when the hard panniers are not required. They also make a great mounting platform for a couple of Rotopax!

I like the look and function of aluminum panniers. On my next bike, I will make the effort and go that way. That being said, when on a budget, get some SW Motech racks and bars from Twisted Throttle, and grab some Pelican Hardigg Storm cases from B & H.
These are the real deal mil-spec. Heck, mine are OD green.

I've had Zega panniers on both a 950 and a GS. I have had two issues with them.
First hard panniers are not the best for riding off highway.
Second, I lost a lid. I guess that I didn't have it tied down. It happened near the end of a long trip. I must have been over tired. After I returned home I installed tethers. Then life was good.
Other than that I really like them.

Currently in Guatemala with the 38L ZP system. Works pretty good, they did dent from falling at very low speeds, but again what do you expect from the weight of a big bike. They work well for a table for the stove and chair for yourself or other things, something you wont get from soft cases. We are two up with an extra couple of packs. We think in the future 45L cases might work or better yet, two smaller bags for the top of each case and maybe a large one, but not sold on that either. Or best yet, she gets her own bike (she does not like when I have to stand and ride), time will tell. This is the first trip of many so tweaking will be in order. For the cost it would have been nice to have locks installed without the cost, but not a biggy, at least they are all keyed together. Far better than Pelican cases, like to open the box from the top, not the side which was a pain in the ass in my opinion.

Had the Touratech zega pros for three years now, a pair of 31l anodised in black. These have been to the Sahara desert twice, once on my XT660Z and once on my 990 adventure. Only needed to order the rack for the KTM and if I change bikes again they will I'm sure go on the next one. They have been trail riding in Spain, France and Belgium. I can't speak for the bigger sizes, but the 31 is robust, I have never had a big off, but my many small offs have resulted in nothing more than a small dent in the side which was easily pushed out using a scissor jack and two pieces of wood. They are fantastically designed with a thicker Aluminium frame where the lid seals to prevent deformation of the seal. I suspect that the bigger size panniers would have slightly less torsional rigidity due to these having a longer thick aluminium frame, which may result in the crash force destroying the seal through warping of the frame (i have seen this happen in a 45l zega pro which had fallen off a bike on an asphalt road) . I have had no less than 15 offs with my panniers, none at a speed higher than 35 kmph and all in deep sand or gravel pistes, other than the marks on the plastic scuff protectors and two scratches that have gone through the anodising, they still could pass as new from 1.5 metres. Great bits of kit. I am in no way associated with touratech, and they do have their downsides, but I will hopefully never need to buy another set of panniers and that speaks volumes about their quality. For me the ultimate proof came when I was last in Morocco. I crossed the feche feche near Ramlia, all 7 kms of it. Its soft, deep sand in an old dried up river bed where the floodwaters churn the sand particles to dust as fine as talcum powder. It was particularly bad as a rally had been through a week before churning through the crust and destroying the track. Tapping your foot in the stuff sends grey dust clouds billowing above your head. Makes you and the bike look like a ghost rider combo due to the white dust sticking everywhere. During this crossing and despite dropping the bike twice, no dust entered the pannier at all. Equally during my return through the torrents of rain along the Atlantic coast of Europe through Spain and France, not a drop of water entered.
Water and dustproof
Secure (get the lock sets that fit the panniers and tether the lids)
Does not leave alloy rubbings on the contents due to the anodising
The anodising seems not to show scratches that paint does
Eye-wateringly expensive
Heavy when compared to plastic but not when compared to other alloy panniers
Fidgety to remove as you need to remove the contents to remove the box
The Touratech rapid trap system alone is not strong enough for the trail
Use a spanner on the white plastic lock nuts else they might fall off like the 45l above
Difficult to carry as the handles from touratech are either straps which take ages to put on or metal ones which require drilling holes in the top of the box
Did I mention the cost...
Hope that helps

I think the panniers in this thread are Zegas: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showp...6&postcount=32
No so pretty after they hit a rock or two:
As for me, I'm much more into finding my own solutions, but to each his own. These are Pelican 1550s with a lot of work done to them. I've spent less than $300 for the two panniers, and probably $100 for the top case:

I like your luggage solution, looks great, especially the side expander, Would these be secure when traveling in a third world country, could you lock them and leave it on the street if you went for a meal? Are they easy to remove? Did you do a write up on the build? Have a drz400 that needs luggage.

Have a look at Caribou Cases for ideas, or you could just go ahead and buy their system. It looks like really good stuff.
Are Pelican's secure? The military uses them for lots of stuff. I'm sure you can get in any case with a big enough crowbar. A better solution might be to put removable liners in the Pelicans and just take your stuff with you when you are worried about security. Caribou Cases has custom liners like that. (No affiliation -- I just borrow ideas from them ).

They look great, the pannier mounting system looks like it would take some beating. I'm not sure if I'm good enough at wrenching to put it together as well as you have, I checked out the caribou cases and they look great, sadly not available at a reasonable price in Europe. I then found a pelican case dealer in Germany and the cases are 200 to 300 euros each, hats way out of my budget, her indoors will not be happy. So I'll head back to the drawing board, not spending that sort of cash on the drz. Thanks for your reply.

During the beginning of the Spring 2009 semester, I was approached by Justice For All (JFA), a group that supports the life and rights of the unborn. I had worked with them in 2008, and loved their work. They had the desire to come to the University of Colorado-Boulder (CU) campus and I thought that the campus could greatly use their perspective on life and abortion. So, I started Pro Life Ambassadors, a group on the CU campus that supports the life of the unborn, and started the process of getting JFA onto campus. When I had all my paperwork filled out and completed, I submitted it to the university.
CU Boulder determined that due to the content of our display, we would need security, which would cost us around $500 for a 3-day event. I told the JFA representative how much we would have to pay. He then talked to the Alliance Defending Freedom and one of their attorneys, Joe, e-mailed me. Joe and I started talking and I gave him all the details, e-mailing him all of the necessary support for my side. Joe then looked over all of it and determined that we had a case! It turns out that a public university, like CU, cannot charge a student group money for security simply because the group's message offends some people. So he sent a letter to CU Boulder and we waited for a reply. While waiting for the reply, the deadline came to pay for the event or it would be cancelled.
So I borrowed nearly $500 from my parents and paid the fee, out of pocket, because JFA needed to come to CU Boulder. The university events planning people e-mailed me the day after I had paid and told me that they would be paying for the cost of security. So I would be getting all of my money back. After waiting several weeks a check arrived in the mail for the full sum of the cost of the event. JFA then got to come to campus and spread their great message to the CU Boulder students that needed it. I saw and got to speak with several students who were angry, sad, supportive and others who had a variety of other emotions. I even met the new president of Pro Life Ambassadors who is continuing it today! And during debriefing I heard the wonderful stories that the other students had been able to participate in.
This exhibit even changed some people's minds about abortion, and brought courage to those who wish to support the pro-life message. Without the support of Alliance Defending Freedom, this event would not have been possible. Alliance Defending Freedom helped my group and me keep our 1st Amendment right of free speech and helped change the lives of many, some of whom have yet to be born.
Students, like you everyday face censorship, reprisal or punishment for Speaking Up. If you have faced this type of illegal discrimination on campus, Tell us your story of Injustice .
What's Your Story of Injustice?
Know someone who would like to know more about their religious rights on campus?

Welcome to the Jupiter Farms Community Elementary SchoolPool page.
The SchoolPool program is a free transportation matching and participation program offered by the Florida Department of Transportation. The goal of the program is to encourage students and families to carpool, bike, or walk to and from school.
Looking for a SchoolPool Match?
If you are interested in participating in the SchoolPool program and would like to find other families interested in carpooling, biking, or walking to school, the SchoolPool database can match you with other families interested in sharing the ride.
CLICK HERE to sign-up! Once you are registered, we will email or mail you a list of other families at Jupiter Farms school who are also interested in participating.
Ready to Register Your Carpool & Use the Carpool Lane?
No more arriving early for dismissal! No more waiting 30 minutes in the afternoon pick-up line! Have your students ready to go when you arrive!
The Jupiter Farms carpool program allows registered carpooling families to bypass much of the afternoon carline and pick up their children with ease using the Carpool Lane. A carpool is two different families who share the ride in the afternoon.
When you register, each family will receive special SchoolPool decals that designate you as a carpooler. This decal will allow you to enter the afternoon car line as usual, but instead of turning right into the parking lot loop, you'll be able to drive straight ahead and merge with the line in front of the school This will make your afternoon pickup much quicker!
CLICK HERE to register your carpool. Once your registration has been processed, you will receive a letter outlining the program detail including how to use the lanes as well as your SchoolPool Carpool Lane Decal.
For more information on the Jupiter Farms Elementary SchoolPool program, email email@example.com or call 1-800-234-7433.

While the word 'patriot' is slightly overused in our country, it certainly applies when it comes to the late Aloisea Inyumba. Growing up in the refugee camps in Uganda in the 60s and 70s, she knew like other Rwandans in that situation what it is to be disadvantaged and without a home. This instilled in her a fiery desire to return to the mother country.
"We were living in a foreign land with no facilities," she said in an interview last year, adding later on: "I think right at the beginning when I was a young child, I wanted to come home. I always had a passion. I always missed Rwanda."
That passionate love for the country inspired her in everything she did. So when the struggle was finally won and the refugees could return home, her idea, in line with the vision of the country's new leaders, was not about vengeance, but about working together as Rwandans for the development of the country.
"We are saying to a Hutu woman or a Tutsi family, 'Your needs are the same.' Together, we can put up a house, build a new country, and ensure that nothing like the genocide happens ever again," she once explained when she was the head of the Unity and Reconciliation Commission.
She herself had, shortly after being named Minister of Gender and Social Affairs in 1994, employed as her deputy a woman whose husband had been imprisoned for his involvement in the Genocide. Yet for Inyumba, that aspect did not come into play; the woman was qualified, and so she earned the job.
She took the same approach when it came to gender equality: it was not about women struggling against men and vice versa, it was about working together for the good of Rwanda. "The women of this country are 52% of the population," she said last year. "It's just good economics." For Inyumba, it was as simple as that.
And while working in that spirit of patriotism in various functions, she was always humble and self-effacing.
Aloisea Inyumba's death at the age of only 50 is not only a tragic loss for her family and friends but, as President Kagame remarked, "for the nation and all of us." The best way for Rwandans to honor her memory is to emulate her example, by thinking, in all we do, first and foremost about what is best for the country.
As John F. Kennedy famously said, we should ask what we can do for our country, not what our country can do for us. Aloisea Inyumba showed us how to answer that question.

VIDEO: Using Google Ads to land your dream job
Clever sod of the week must surely go to Alec Brownstein, a 28 year old New York resident who, up until recently, was an unemployed copywriter looking for work.
Brownstein's plan was to play upon the the guilty pleasure of Googling one's self in order to bring attention to his details. He took out five Google ads, one for each of the employers he wanted to work for, sat back and waited for those employers to Google themselves. When they did, the first result they saw was Brownstein's ad, which pointed towards his website.
From the five ads, which cost a total of $6, he got four interviews, two job offers and is now senior copywriter at Young & Rubicam. Well played sir, well played indeed.

LoveWe say we love flowersAnd their sweet aromaYet we can spend hoursJust picking them upWe ask for their thoughtsAs we pick at their petalsAbout if he loves meOr he loves me notAnd yet we still wonderWhy nobody trustsWhen "I love you" is mutteredBut have we forgot? We kill what we love.
TryingDoesn't it make you sadHow your pearl earrings that shone in the moonlight,and that silk gown that swept the ground,Were sold with your tears?And how your white satin heels,and the diamond ring you always wore,Were traded along with your soul?And didn't it shatter your heart to pieceswhen you finally realizedyou couldn't buy happiness,yet you were still trying
