At a time when postage prices are once again going to rise and there's talk of ending Saturday mail delivery, many people in the QCA got a rare Sunday visit from the mailman.
The extra delivery day is needed because of extra demand.
The US Postal Service says it expects to deliver About 420 million packages nationwide this holiday season. That's up 12 percent from last year.
In Iowa alone, post offices are reporting an increase in package deliveries of about 50 percent.
So postal workers in some communities are working this Sunday and next Sunday to make sure those packages arrive in time for Christmas.
"Sometimes I do feel like Santa Claus," said Brandon Chase, a City Carrier Assistant delivering packages in Davenport on Sunday.
This "Santa" has a big white van for a sleigh, that he loaded up with goodies before going house to house delivering holiday joy.
"It makes people happy knowing that they got their packages on time before Christmas," Chase said.
Chase has only worked for the US Postal Service for a couple months now. This weekend, he was one of two postal workers in Davenport making Sunday deliveries.
"We do what we have to do to get the mail to the customer," Anthony Harris, Davenport Post Master, said.
The postal service has done these Sunday deliveries - and mail collections - near Christmas for the last couple years now, in communities where package volume is the highest.
"This is the time of year when we find ourselves knee deep in work," Harris laughed.
This Sunday, it was quiet at the West 2nd Street Post Office. But, on Monday, the day that's expected to be the busiest mailing day of the year, it's going to be a very different story.
"This will be like the New York Stock Exchange," Harris said. "At the busiest time of day, we'll have people constantly moving around, moving mail from one area to another, making sure the carriers have the proper mail to go out with them on the street."
"It gets to be hectic this week," he said.
But the deliveries made Sunday will prevent this post office and its crews from becoming overwhelmed. The Sunday deliveries included perishables, large parcels, and other items that would slow down mail carriers on their normal routes.
"I have a very good group of people that put forth a heck of an effort this time of year," Harris said.
One of those people, Brandon Chase, says he doesn't mind helping out on a Sunday:
"All I was doing was sitting at home watching football, and now I'm making money," he said.
And, he's helping make holiday wishes come true, one Sunday package delivery at a time.
Postal workers advise sending first-class mail by Friday to make sure it arrives by Christmas.
The deadline for sending priority mail is Saturday, December 21.
Or, you can always send mail express.

- About Deakin
Welcome to the Deakin University - E-election web-site.
Having worked in the science industry for three years I was a participant in a variety of committees regarding the organization of the laboratory work and preparation of yearly projects. I participated in planning and liaised with scientists from other divisions. I wrote work processes to assist scientists when doing their research. I dealt with scientists concerns and organised a system that worked for everyone.
Last year I commenced a new Job at ME/CFS Australia (Victoria). I contribute in the organization and structure of work and participate in-group meetings.
I am taking part in the Deakin/SBS Mentoring program where I contribute to discussions and committees.
Benjamin is a second year student undertaking the Bachelor of Arts/Laws. He is seeking the Faculty Board undergraduate student position due to strong interests in academic standards, coupled with a desire to ensure the student voice is conveyed at a decision-making level.
Benjamin has maintained a high academic average whilst also being a passionate member of the Deakin Law Student Society and Deakin University Student Association. This engagement in academic and extra-curricular activities has allowed Benjamin to witness a cross-section of student opinions. Benjamin wishes to voice these opinions to ensure the experiences he has enjoyed are available to future students.
After four years studying an International Studies and Law degree and working as a student ambassador for the University, I have a sound understanding of the faculty.
I am currently interning on Capitol Hill with students from nine other Australian universities which has provided me with insight into areas each university excels in and those it could improve.
As a former School Vice-Captain I attended a variety of Board meetings and strategic planning days and am accustomed to working in such an environment. And, as a lifelong learner, I am genuinely interested in the University's quality of teaching and research.

Pros: Full-frame sensor; weather-sealed; great EVF; tilting screen; Wifi; peaking.
Cons: Leisurely AF and poor CAF. No touch controls. Screen not fully-articulated.
Overall: The World's smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless is very impressive.
Pros: Great quality; AF in very low light; built-in Wifi and GPS; tough body.
Cons: Single SD slot; no built-in flash; limited number of AF points; not 100% v/f.
Overall: Canon's most affordable full-frame DSLR is its first with Wifi and GPS.
Pros: Superb quality, only out-resolved by the D800 and A7r. Great movie options.
Cons: Basic 3-frame bracketing. Lacks built-in Wifi and GPS of EOS 6D.
Overall: A more affordable version of the D800 with few compromises. A great DSLR.
Pros: Built-in IS, weather-sealed, superb EVF, Wifi, 1/8000, tilting screen, great lenses.
Cons: No built-in flash, no peaking or PDAF for movies, no panorama mode.
Overall: One of the most capable and enjoyable system cameras around right now.
Pros: Superb quality, huge EVF, weather-sealed, good CAF, tilting screen, Wifi.
Cons: Basic AEB, no touch controls, no 1/8000, screen not fully-articulated.
Overall: One of the best cameras at its price. Compare with EM1.
Pros: Great photo and superb video quality; powerful AF; 6fps.
Cons: No built-in flash, wifi, GPS, movie AF or flip-out screen.

Pros: Incredible detail. Superb ergonomics and handling.
Cons: 'Only' 4fps in FX mode. Some moire in video.
Overall: Top-end photos, but video fans may prefer 5D3. D600 & A7r also tempting.
Canon's EOS 7D is an ageing but still compelling 18 Megapixel cropped-frame DSLR. The 7D boasts a viewfinder with 100% coverage and LCD graphics, 8fps continuous shooting, a fast 19-point AF system with zoning, built-in wireless flash control and a metering system which takes colour information into account. The body is also tough, which all adds up to one of the most confident DSLRs on the market at this price. It may be a few years old, but remains a fantastic and quick DSLR for those who don't need or can't afford either a full-frame or pro sports model. Do compare the feature-set closely with the newer EOS 70D in my mid-range camera buyer's guide though as it may end up being better for you.

Contaminated Makeup
Claim: Your makeup is a breeding ground for bacteria.
True. "Any bacteria on your hands or face contaminates the makeup when they come in contact," says Elizabeth Brooks, a professor of biological sciences at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. Two possible problems can result: pimples, which are caused by bacteria trapped inside pores; and pinkeye, a bacterial infection caused by staphylococcus. Avoid infection by washing your hands before applying makeup and cleaning your applicators weekly. Toss makeup after two months. For foundation, instead of touching the tube or bottle with your fingers, pour it on your hand or an applicator to apply. Another tip: Wipe brushes with alcohol when you don't have time to wash them. And never share makeup; you can easily transfer infections this way.

Don't forget the buffet restaurants where everybody touches the serving utensils before you do and then you get your stuff, go back to your table and start eating. Maybe you cleaned your hands before you got your stuff but don't assume everyone else did!!!!!!!!!!11/20/2012 10:56:46 PM Report Abuse
on the topic of dirty door handles, i again disagree! Someone with damp hands touching a door handle has 500% more probability of cross contamination! However, I have seen in the British press recently that there is a new hygienic door handle from a company called Pure Hold that actually cleans your hands - if these get rolled out in hospitals we will all be better of! Have a look for yourself http://www.purehold.co.uk/12/31/2011 03:44:01 PM Report Abuse
totally disagree with this - inanimate objects such as door handles, phones, money have been proven to transfer germs and viruses - there is a wealth of research on the web that proves this!12/31/2011 03:35:22 PM Report Abuse
is phone funk on the mouthpiece of a phone mean there is bacteria on it? same for the sweaty musty smell that comes from my washing machine?4/13/2011 03:46:24 PM Report Abuse
i am throwing out my cleaning sponges pronto. i have used these for several months. i just assumed the cleaning stuff i use was keeping them from harvesting bacteria.4/13/2011 03:43:45 PM Report Abuse

An analysis of new census figures has shown that Australia is suffering from an unprecedented "man drought".
The statistics have revealed that there are almost 100,000 more females than males in Australia.
The problem is worse in the coastal cities, where women have moved seeking better jobs and lifestyles, while many men have gone overseas.
Thirty years ago Australia was with flush with men thanks to immigration policies that favoured males.
That position has been reversed because thousands of Australian men in their 20s and early 30s have gone overseas either to travel or to work.
It has caused a gender imbalance that is having far-reaching implications.

text: You can buy one of those little ear cleaning kits with the water-squirter and peroxide solution pretty much anywhere. I've had fantastic success with them. It requires patience and a determined effort, though. When you are successful, you will be treated to one of the single most revolting spectacles of your life. And there will be a lot of it.Yes, indeed. Once you get the hang of how to use these things they are great, but they take a little bit of practice. I always thought it was the acid-y stuff eating away at the wax that did the majority of the work, but really it's just there to loosen things up. The real work is done by the water that you squirt in there. And you have to be persistent. The way I do it is by filling up the sink with warm/tepid water. Then, using that to keep refilling the squeezee-thing, you just keep squirting a stream of water in the ear. The angle does matter. You have to just keep on doing this for far longer than you would think. But after a while, you will be rewarded with a humongous gob of nasty shit that falls out, and you will be amazed at how clear you can hear. It's like night and day.

The housing problem was created by liberals (Dodd & Frank) by forcing lenders to lower standards to allow unqualified buyers to get into mortgages they could not repay. There is not a thing wrong with having a large house if you can afford it, but this administration, excepting themselves of course, want to paint those high income individuals who can afford large homes as evil. The old rule of lending, known as the "C's", character, capacity and collateral must again apply. The character and credit history of the individual should lead the lender to believe the borrower will repay the loan, the income of the borrower will allow him to service the debt, as well as cover all other living expenses and the borrower should have a substaintial equity in the property. When these requirements were done away with was the beginning of the housing market decline. Any new plan that does not apply these logical requirements will result in a Schlimmbeserung - an improvement that makes things worse.

Just tried luvme nappies. I found them to be a great product. My daughter wore it overnight and the nappy drew away all liquid, leaving her bottom dry and soft. There was less odor also. Would use these nappies again.—Candice
I found both the nappy and wipe to be super soft – almost like cloth. The nappy fitted very well on my daughter and did not chafe or rub her skin. It was very absorbent, without being bulky. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good quality nappy while looking after the environment.—Kate
I tried the sample of disposable nappy today and I am very impressed. The material is very soft and breathable and when my baby did a big messy poo, it did not leak. The wetness indicator was very useful. It was also not bulky like some of the other brands I have tried.—Olivia
Hi Kendall, I would like to say a big thankyou for the samples. I am very impressed with them and will be ordering some wipes. The nappy was brilliant I loved the way how it soaked up the moisture and will definitely be recommending both of these items and my friends to your website. Many Thanks—Janice Greaves

[RECAP] MBC Korean Music Wave in Google
On the afternoon of May 21st, many of Korea's hottest K-Pop artists gathered for a concert in Mountain View, California. The concert was titled "MBC Korean Music Wave in Google" and was performed at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.
The concert was streamed live on YouTube and Koreaboo updated fans through @kbcafe.
Before the concert, the artists were gathered for a "Photo Wall" that was only open to the media. Each group came in and introduced themselves and posed for the media before leaving again. Girls' Generation's Tiffany stated that it felt great to be back home to perform again. You can check out some of the "Photo Wall" pictures in our live coverage article.
The first artist to take the stage was KARA. The members were wearing white outfits with gold designs on them and tall white heels that reached their knees. KARA performed "Step" as the concert's opening track. KARA then greeted fans and Nicole spoke in English. They introduced the MCs for the night, Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and Tiffany.
MBLAQ was next to take the stage. The members were dressed in white and black suit jackets with black pants. They began with an impressive dance into and their latest hit "This Is War." They then proceeded into one of their original hits, "Y." After their second song, the members of MBLAQ introduced themselves. "Hello, we are MBLAQ. This is our first time in San Francisco, and we are honored to be here." They continued with, "We have prepared so much for the fans so we hope that they really enjoy our show." G.O. commented, "I hear that this show is streamed live worldwide through YouTube Presents, so we are a little nervous. But through the internet, our fans have been able to come close to us, so please enjoy the show. Thunder said, "Our next song is our last song and it is 'Oh Yeah.' If you know the words, I hope you guys sing along with us. Ok? Alright. Let's go! Our next song is 'Oh Yeah.'"
SISTAR was next to hit the stage. For their stage outfits, they wore a combination of black and gold in either a skirt or a dress. They began with a dance intro remix of their latest track, "Alone." After performing "Alone," SISTAR performed "Ma Boy." During their introductions the members said, "Hello, we are SISTAR." Hyorin commented, "We are so happy that we are able to let you guys hear our new song, 'Alone,' live!" Bora commented, "It's our first time introducing this and we specially choreographed it for fans out here. Did you guys like it?" Soyu commented, "I heard that all of the fans at home are watching us at home on the livestream as well. You guys are really enjoying the show, right?" Dasom commented, "It is an honor to be here today with all of you. Thank you for your love and support. Our next song is our third single. Sing along if you guys know the words! Thank you!" SISTAR finished their stage by performing "So Cool."
f(x) was next up on the stage. They wore a combination of prints and black. They began with "Pinocchio (Danger)" and continued straight into "Hot Summer." For their introductions, they said, "This is f(x)," and introduced themselves individually in English. Amber rallied the crowd for more screams and then Luna commented, "Hi I am so happy to be here with the warm welcome from San Francisco. I have heard to much about San Francisco and the United States from Krystal and Amber as they were both born in the United States." Amber commented, "This weather is amazing! How about after the concert, we go to the beach? It's awesome to be back home. My sister is from this area, so shoutout to her." Krystal introduced the next song, "Nu ABO."
After f(x) exited the stage, Taeyeon and Tiffany introduced a special collaboration stage. Wonder Girls member Sunye performed "Father" which was originally by Insooni because her father passed away just a little while ago. Girls' Generation's Seohyun performed "Flying Duck" which was originally by Cherry Filter because she said the song has helped her through the hard days in her life.
KARA hit the stage again, this time to perform their remaining songs. In new black outfits, the members of KARA performed "Lupin." During their introductions, KARA said, "San Fransisco, how are you doing tonight?" Gyrui commented, "Hello everyone, we are back after the short opening show. Did you guys miss us?" I'm so excited to see the fans up-close. It's surreal. Thank you." Seungyeon commented, "Especially because of the fact that K-Pop fans are watching us through YouTube. Yes, I heard that the fever is spreading worldwide. It's both exciting and makes us nervous." KARA then finished off their performance at the concert with "Mister."
Next on the stage was BEAST! The members of BEAST were dressed in grey suit jackets with metal decorations and black leather pants. BEAST began their stage with their hit track, "Shock," and continued with their latest hit track, "Fiction," before introducing themselves. BEAST commented, "So Beast! Hello, we are BEAST!" Hyunseung commented, "Yes, we have been traveling with our 'BEAUTIFUL SHOW' in Germany, Singapore, and Japan, but the heat here is the greatest out of all of them." Junhyung commented, "Did you know that the concert is to celebrate the content distribution agreement between Google, YouTube, and MBC?" Doojoon commented, "Yes, through YouTube's MBC channel, it will provide our K-Pop performances through high quality videos. If you guys could log in an view them, it would be great." Yoseob commented, "Yes, so if you guys want to see our performance once again, you can go watch it online again." Dongwoon commented, "To all of the viewers watching this concert online, hello! I promise that we will soon meet up with you guys through the 'BEAUTIFUL TOUR.'" Kikwang finished off with, "To match the beautiful San Fransisco, we will perform our track, 'BEAUTIFUL.'" BEAST then finished off their performance at the concert with their hit track, "BEAUTIFUL."
Girls' Generation followed next. The members were wearing navy blue outfits with gold sequins on them. They performed "The Boys" in English and then introduced themselves. Girls' Generation performed as seven at tonight's concert because Yoona and Yuri are filming their dramas in Korea. They commented, "Hello, we are Girls' Generation." Sooyoung asked how the audience was feeling and if they wanted to have more fun. Sooyoung commented, "Maybe it's because all of the top K-Pop stars are here today, but the crowd is amazing tonight." Jessica said, "San Fransisco is really a special city to me because I was born and raised here. I am really happy to be back here with the girls and performing at this event tonight. I hope you guys have fun at this event." Tiffany said, "Sadly, there is only seven of us tonight. Yoona and Yuri are performing their dramas. You guys need to give us your energy because we are missing two girls tonight. You guys have to be Yoona and Yuri." Girls' Generation then performed "Mr. Taxi" in Korean and then ended with their mega-hit, "Gee."
The Wonder Girls came onto the stage next. They were wearing simple white dresses with a blue dot design on them. They performed their Korean version of "Be My Baby" and then "Tell Me." For their introductions, they said, "Hello, we are the Wonder Girls." Sunye said, "Are you guys having a good time." Hyelim said, "We have been touring around different places and countries, and every town we get to perform on stage, we feel so blessed. Especially today, we are here at the MBC Korean Wave in Google concert with other K-Pop artists. Thank you so much for having us." Sohee commented, "The next song we are going to sing I suppose everyone knows this song. But, before we sing the song, I would like to teach you how to do the 'Nobody' dance." The members of the Wonder Girls then taught the audience how to do the dance. The Wonder Girls then ended their performance at the concert with "Nobody" in English.
Super Junior was the next group to take the stage. The members of Super Junior were wearing white and grey suit jackets with black pants. Only a few members started out on the stage while the other members made entrances from the sides of the venue, and ended up coming down the middle stairs. They performed "Superman" and their latest hit title track, "Mr. Simple." They then introduced themselves by saying, "Hello, we are Super Junior." Each of the members then introduced themselves in English. Super Junior performed with eight members at tonight's concert. Leeteuk played with the crowd by saying, "My name is.....(Leeteuk), my name is .... (Leeteuk)." When the audience filled in his name, he commented, "Wow! Geniuses." Leeteuk then continued by saying, "There are a lot of people and we are exited to hear the screams." Eunhyuk asked, "Can you guys see us all the way back there?" Leeteuk commented, "We are honored to be on the stage right now. It is streaming live through YouTube. Would you guys like to be on YouTube worldwide? Say hi to the camera! You guys are now popular! We are almost finished with the show, don't your throats hurt? Is it okay? Aren't you guys cold?" Eunhyuk finished with, "I heard the song that we will finish with is loved worldwide." Leeteuk said, "We just came back from Los Angeles, and there it was lovely, but here is even better. I feel like we should have come here earlier. Should we come here more often? I heard that the song we will performing cannot be watched while sitting down." Leeteuk then commented, "We will be finishing with 'Sorry Sorry.'"
TVXQ finished up the show as the last group to perform. They wore black and silver jackets and black pants. Changmin and Yunho began their performance with their hit title track, "Why? (Keep Your Head Down)." They then continued with "Know This (Before U Go)." Yunho and Changmin commented, "Hello, we are TVXQ. Nice to meet you." Yunho said, "Are you guys having fun tonight? Are you ready? Are you ready?" Yunho continued with, "We just finished our concert in Los Angeles and flew up here today but because of the fans and cheering, we can not even feel the exhaustion." Changmin commented, "Thank you. We will continue to do our best as TVXQ. Please continue to support us!" Changmin introduced the next song by saying, "Are you guys ready? Ok? Let's Go!" They then finished off the concert with their hit track, "Rising Sun."
All of the members of KARA, MBLAQ, f(x), SISTAR, BEAST, Girls' Generation, Wonder Girls, Super Junior, and TVXQ then came back on stage to sing "Arirang."

Why it works
Breast Success works by stimulating the growth of breast tissue while firming and tightening the breast area. Our formula has thirteen unique herbs which help with breast tissue expansion, growth and development. Breast Success is a safe and effective alternative to expensive and dangerous surgery. During puberty a womans body naturally produces estrogens which help in the development of new tissue. This hormone determines the size, shape and fullness of a womans breasts. Lower levels of these hormones will result in smaller less developed breasts. Breast Success contains phytoestrogens which are naturally occurring non-hormonal plant estrogens which stimulate your body to produce new breast tissue growth. Breast Success safely stimulates tissue growth resulting in bigger, firmer and fuller breasts.BREAST SUCCESS: is an non-invasive all natural way to increase your breast size. Breast Success helps your body regulate the production of hormones that regulate breast tissue. Just like eating a healthy diet, helps keep your body healthy, taking Breast Success helps keep your breasts healthy. Breast Success helps bring balance to the hormones and stimulate breast growth.

Fennel Seed: Fennel has long been praised for its abundance of flavonoids. These compounds exert mild estrogenic effects and are completely harmless and non-toxic.
L-Tyrosine: A naturally occurring amino acid, Tyrosine plays an important role in the functioning of the adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid glands, which control hormone production. Some studies suggest that Tyrosine may also stimulate the production of growth hormone, which helps build muscle and reduce body fat.

Ahahahaha I'm totally that girl now. Before, I was his pocket healer, but now that I've rolled a Druid, it's like "Anything you can do, I can do better"…only I'm a 76 Boomkin and he's 85 (and he's used to being feral, so Boom is new to him). I WILL have better DPS than him, damnit. He gives a huge sigh when I do a bg and scream BOOM LOOK AT THAT, #2 BEHIND THE DK IN DAMAGE. SUCK IT.
Oh god, I was Hilo's pocket healer for a while. That way, I was guaranteed a spot in his party (before we recognized our unrivaled affections for one another). I thought I was being sneaky, and I'm happy he let me get away with thinking that.
He's a lovely, lovely boyfriend.
Tonight we're going to get dinner together (to celebrate me finally getting the fuck out [; __ ;]) and I've been trying to think of where I want to go all day. I want to go eat something that I can't readily get in Missouri. So, I'm caught up with either sushi at that one place (he knows the name of it, I can never remember), or some phở.
I've been wanting sushi for a week now, so that'll probably be the winner.

The Daily Five: Gaming's Worst Wingmen
It's never easy going at things solo, especially when that involves hitting up a bar to troll for women (let's be honest, it's trolling). However, if you're going to be successful, it never hurts to have a great wingman by your side to help smooth things out and move them along at a productive pace. Unfortunately not everyone is cut out for that gig and sadly, it could all end in a disaster if you choose the wrong guy. We've gone through gaming and picked out five guys that we think would make ridiculously bad wingmen.
If you can think of any others, let us know below.
Yosuke Hanamura
Yosuke is from a nice little town called Inaba where his father owns the local Junes. Sadly for Yosuke, he's not very smooth with the ladies, as he always tries way too hard to get in good with them. Honestly, if he toned it back a bit, he'd probably make for a solid wingman, but as it stands, he's definitely one of the last guys you want coming to the bar with you. That's without mentioning the fact that he tries to oversell things as well.
Kratos pretty much takes whatever he wants and if he can't have it, he kills it. It's not too surprising why Kratos would make for a seriously terrible wingman. I have a sneaking suspicion that he would either leave you out in the cold or would just pretty much slaughter everyone inside the bar. It's a huge risk to have him by your side and that's without taking into account the fact that he's pretty much a God. Have you seen this guy's body? You're probably going to look pretty feeble standing next to him.
Enrique (Skies of Arcadia)
If you're going to play the bar scene, you need to be quick witted and have some questionable morals. Let's be honest, if you're looking for a one night stand, you're probably not the guy that's going to call the next day. Enrique is a terrible wingman for a very simple reason: His morale compass isn't going to budge. If you're going to be a complete tool, Enrique isn't going to stand by and watch it happen. He's either going to speak up or just sabotage your game. It's best to leave him at home.

White House wants to root out copycat programs - starting with STEM
The Obama administration's proposed fiscal 2014 budget called for consolidating or eliminating 116 of the government's 226 STEM initiatives and centralizing the coordination of STEM programs under just three agencies: the Education Department, the National Science Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution. The administration's STEM proposal is one of the government's first visible steps in reversing some of the duplication that riddles the federal landscape and which some lawmakers have seized on as examples of government waste.

Here are some of the Patriots who stood out as studs in the game yesterday against the Dallas Cowboys, and some who were more of a dud.
- Andre Carter – Carter finally showed some of the pass rushing ability that Patriots fans witnessed in the preseason. Carter sacked Tony Romo twice and had 5 total tackles.
- Linebacker corps – The starting linebackers – Gary Guyton, Brandon Spikes, Rob Ninkovich – did a phenomenal job limiting the Cowboys' running game and Pro Bowl TE Jason Witten. The Cowboys only had 77 total rushing yards, and 17 of those were a Tony Romo scramble. The LB's jammed Witten at the line and disrupted his timing with Romo, holding him to only 4 catches for 48 yards and a touchdown that was a one-yarder.
- Kyle Arrington - I don't understand this guy. I mean, he's not that great in coverage and gets beat, but he always seems to be the guy making an INT, which he did early in the game. Say what you will about him, he's got a knack for getting picks, and currently leads the team with 4.
- Red zone offense - While the offense put it in the end zone when it mattered most, it shouldn't have came down to that final drive. They were 2 of 4 in the red zone and turned the ball over twice inside the Dallas 50. They could have put the game away much sooner and extended their 30 points per game streak.
- Pass protection - Tom Brady was hurried and hit several times throughout the game and was sacked 3 times. The offensive line appears to be struggling against the better pass rushing teams.

Flying Dutch Sets Service Records In Kalamazoo Sweep
The top-ranked Hope volleyball set Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and school records for service aces Tuesday during a sweep of Kalamazoo.
Coach Becky Schmidt's Flying Dutch delivered 17 aces to spur a 25-13, 25-15, 25-11 win that put them one match from at least a share of their 12th MIAA championship. Hope can clinch a league title on Friday, Nov. 1 when it hosts Albion at 6:30 p.m.
Hope (27-1 overall) passed the MIAA record for service aces that Adrian posted against Saint Mary's on Oct. 26, 2011 the school record for all sets of 14 that the Flying Dutch accomplished twice during the 2010 season.
Schmidt said she thought her team's assertiveness at the service line paid big dividends.
"We had eight service errors, but in the first two sets we had done a nice job of limiting them and putting a lot of pressure on their passers," Schmidt said after her team improved to 14-1 in league play. The Flying Dutch are tied with Calvin for first place.
"I was impressed it just wasn't one person that kind of went off in serving. It was pretty balanced," Schmidt said. "They were hitting their zones, doing a nice job of staying focused."
Junior outside hitter Jenna Grasmeyer of Jenison (Hudsonville Unity Christian) topped Hope with four service aces and 11 kills. She had a .333 kill percentage.
Sophomore libero Allie Mitchell of Portage (Portage Central HS) also had four saves.
Two Hope players had three aces apiece — junior libero Elyse Maley of Milton, Ind. (Lincoln HS) and sophomore setter Lauren Hazekamp of Fruitport (Fruitport HS).
Freshman libero Alexis Thompson of Monroe (St. Mary Catholic Central HS) chipped in two aces, while senior middle hitter Mari Schoolmaster of Portage (Portage Central HS) had one along with eight kills.
Schmidt said her team is getting back to an aggressive service game at the right time. Postseason play begins in 1 ½ weeks.
"At the beginning of the season, we started serving the ball out of bounds and getting less aggressive back there. We became a little more tentative," Schmidt said. "What tonight did was just give them the confidence back there to go serve more aggressively and do it with the focus that's going to keep the ball in play."
Flying Dutch Still No. 1 In AVCA Poll
The Hope volleyball team remains atop the American Volleyball Coaches Association NCAA Division III Poll for the second consecutive week.
The Flying Dutch (26-1 overall) totaled 1,191 points and 39 first-place votes.
Hope, which plays at Kalamazoo tonight, finished 31 points ahead of Calvin (25-1), which received the other first-place votes.
This is the first time in school history the Flying Dutch have been ranked No. 1.
The top five is rounded out by, in order, Cal Lutheran (25-1), 2012 national champion St. Thomas, Minn. (24-2) and Elmhurst, Ill. (27-4).
Hope hosts the NCAA Division III national championships on Nov. 21-23 at DeVos Fieldhouse.
Flying Dutchmen Blank Olivet 3-0
A multi-goal game from senior Jason Muller of Petoskey (Petoskey HS) powered the Hope men's soccer team to a 3-0 win at Olivet on Tuesday.
Muller scored twice to help the Flying Dutchmen avenge a home overtime loss to Olivet on Oct. 5. It was his fourth multi-goal game of the season.
Hope stayed in second place in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) while improving to 13-4-1 overall and 9-3 in league play. The Flying Dutchmen are three points behind first-place Calvin with two matches remaining.
Muller gave Hope a 1-0 halftime lead by scoring an unassisted goal 10 minutes, 11 seconds into the match. He beat the Olivet goalie on a free kick from 18 yards out.
Junior midfielder Tarwo Konbloa of Kentwood (East Kentwood HS) pushed the lead to 2-0 in the 60th minute. He put home a rebound off the post, earning senior midfielder Matthew VanZytveld of Grand Haven (Grand Haven HS) the assist.
Muller added his team-leading 13th goal of the season in the 82nd minute. Konbloa had the assist.
Sophomore Ethan Beswick of Grand Haven (Grand Haven HS) claimed the shutout by recording five saves.
The Flying Dutchmen return to action on Saturday, Nov. 1 when it travels to Kalamazoo for a 2:30 p.m. match.
Hope needs one more point to clinch home-field advantage for the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament.
Flying Dutch Fourth In Preseason National Poll
The Hope women's basketball is ranked fourth in the 2013-14 Preseason USA Today NCAA Division III Top 25 Coaches Poll announced today.
Coach Brian Morehouse's Flying Dutch totaled 152 points to share fourth with Montclair State (N.J.).
DePauw (Ind.) University topped the poll with 200 points after receiving all eight first-place votes. The Tigers won last season's national championship at DeVos Fieldhouse.
Wisconsin-Whitewater took second with 177 points, while Amherst (Mass.) came in third with 161 points.
Hope is coming off a 29-2 campaign in which it reached the elite eight for the sixth time in school history and the fourth time in five seasons. It was the Flying Dutch's 13th postseason appearance.
The Flying Dutch also claimed their 13th MIAA championship overall and 11th in 14 seasons by going 15-1 in league play to share first place with Calvin.
Hope's 2013-14 roster of 15 players features three seniors, six juniors, two sophomores and four freshmen.
Co-captains for this season's teams are senior Megan Kelley of Rockford (Rockford HS) and junior guard Brittany Berry of Grand Rapids (Catholic Central HS).

GoLite Vista Ridge Shirt Review: GoLite Vermilion Thermal Jacket Review
I've mentioned a few times lately how our coastal California autumn frequently blesses us with 75-degree days when the rest of the country is in the midst of ice storms or cold spells or the unfairly harsh weather that has decimated the East Coast. It's really a wonderful thing … unless you happen to have some cold weather gear that you're supposed to be testing.
Fortunately, our warm days are preceded by fairly cold (by California standards, anyway) mornings – and since I'm primarily a pre-dawn runner, I've been able to put some cold weather apparel through the paces over the past few weeks. Today's post features two tops that I've worn in temps from mid-30s to mid-40s, and in a few weeks I'll review some pants that I'll be using as our mornings drop closer to (and perhaps even below) freezing.
All of said products are from GoLite, who as you may recall completely revamped their business model this year, giving up traditional marketing strategies and distribution channels in favor of offering products directly to consumers at steeply discounted prices on their website. What they save in advertising costs and retail fees they pass along to you, and I can't think of an outdoor gear company who offers a better value proposition across the board than GoLite.
Case in point are today's products – the Vista Ridge long sleeve top and Vermilion Thermal full-zip jacket. Both are great for cool autumn trail running, and both are super-affordable from the GoLite website.
The Vista Ridge Top is designed as a crossover for trail running or hiking, with simple styling and a relaxed fit through the torso that is comfortable under a shell or as a stand-alone layer. It's made of 100% recycled polyester, and is fairly lightweight at 6.0 oz (160g).
|GoLite Vista Ridge running shirt
In my testing I had two minor gripes; the main one was some mild itching from the fairly large tag on the interior torso seam. The rest of the garment has flatlock stitching for minimal irritation, so I wish GoLite had made this a completely tagless shirt so I wouldn't have to cut the interior tags.
|The offensive tags and giant logo
My other issue is a subjective one, and also an avoidable one if you're purchasing for yourself. I'm not a fan of huge logos across the chest, which is something GoLite does with select styles and colors. The Vista Ridge shirt is available in four colors, and only one – the one I received for testing, of course – has the large logo. The other colors have much more subtle logos, which is more my style.
From a moisture wicking and temperature regulation standpoint, the Vista Ridge performed as well as most high-end offerings in this category – but for the price, you can probably buy two or three of these for the cost of one competitor's shirt. It retails for $25 from the GoLite website.
My first go-to item from the various products I'm testing this fall is GoLite's Vermillion jacket, which I have a hard time determining whether to use as a running jacket or casual "lounging around the house" comfortwear. It's a midweight layer at 13 oz (360g), and the brushed fleece interior is extremely soft against the skin. (And no itchy tags to bother me, either.)
|GoLite Vermilion Thermal jacket
Like the Vista Ridge shirt, the Vermilion jacket is made extensively with post-consumer materials – in this case, 78% recycled polyester fabric. The remaining 22% features Cocona Minerale, a fabric derived from coconut fibers that has outstanding natural moisture wicking and odor-resistant properties.
I tested the odor-resistance during a 6-day stretch where I ran in the jacket every day without washing it in between. With most moisture-wicking apparel, I'd be holding my nose by the third or fourth day – but with the Vermilion jacket, it smelled pretty much the same after the sixth run as it did before the first.
Thermal regulation is pretty strong with the Vermilion as well – with a short sleeve tech shirt and this jacket, I'm good to go for temps approaching freezing. It's a jacket you can use for a late-afternoon trail run, and keep it on to run errands after the sun has gone down. And like the shirt, it's very competitively priced compared to other jackets, thanks to a GoLite price strategy that allows them to sell it at 60% below retail.
GoLite's Vermilion Thermal jacket is available in three color schemes, and retails for $48 from the GoLite website.

Why Workplace Autonomy Is the Way of the Future
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This is an edited excerpt from Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Usby Daniel H. Pink, published by Riverhead Books. (c) 2009 by Daniel H. Pink.
A little past noon on a rainy Friday in Charlottesville, Virginia, only a third of CEO Jeff Gunther's employees have shown up for work. But Gunther -- entrepreneur, manager, capitalist -- is neither worried nor annoyed. In fact, he's as calm and focused as a monk. Maybe that's because he didn't roll into the office himself until about an hour ago. Or maybe that's because he knows his crew isn't shirking. They're working -- just on their own terms
Gunther has launched an experiment in autonomy at Meddius, one of a trio of companies he runs. He turned the company, which creates computer software and hardware to help hospitals integrate their information systems, into a ROWE -- a results-only work environment.
ROWEs are the brainchild of Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson, two former human resources executives at the American retailer Best Buy. ROWE's principles marry the common sense pragmatism of Ben Franklin to the cage-rattling radicalism of American community organizer Saul Alinsky. In a ROWE workplace, people don't have schedules. They show up when they want. They don't have to be in the office at a certain time -- or any time, for that matter. They just have to get their work done. How they do it, when they do it and where they do it is up to them.
This appealed to Gunther, who's in his early thirties. "Management isn't about walking around and seeing if people are in their offices," he told me. "It's about creating conditions for people to do their best work." That's why he'd always tried to give employees a long leash. But as Meddius expanded, and as Gunther began exploring new office space, he started wondering whether talented, grown-up employees doing sophisticated work needed a leash of any length. So at the company's holiday dinner in December 2008, he made an announcement: For the first 90 days of the new year, the entire 22-person operation would try an experiment. It would become a ROWE.
"In the beginning, people didn't take to it," Gunther says. The office filled up around 9 a.m. and emptied out in the early evening, just as before. A few staffers had come out of extremely controlling environments and weren't accustomed to this kind of leeway. (At one employee's previous company, staff had to arrive each day before 8 a.m. If someone was late, even by a few minutes, the employee had to write an explanation for everyone else to read.) But after a few weeks, most people found their groove. Productivity rose. Stress declined. And although two employees struggled with the freedom and left, by the end of the test period Gunther decided to go with ROWE permanently.
"Some people [outside of the company] thought I was crazy," he says. "They wondered, 'How can you know what your employees are doing if they're not here?'" But in his view, the team was accomplishing more under this new arrangement. One reason: They were focused on the work itself rather than on whether someone would call them slackers for leaving at 3 p.m. to watch a daughter's soccer game. And since the bulk of his staff consists of software developers, designers and others doing high-level creative work, that was essential. "For them, it's all about the craftsmanship. And they need a lot of autonomy."
People still had specific goals they had to reach -- for example, completing a project by a certain time or ringing up a particular number of sales. And if they needed help, Gunther was there to assist. But he decided against tying those goals to compensation. "That creates a culture that says it's all about money and not enough about the work." Money, he believes, is only a "threshold motivator." People must be paid well and be able to take care of their families, he says. But once a company meets this baseline, dollars and cents don't much affect performance and motivation. Indeed, Gunther thinks that in a ROWE environment, employees are far less likely to jump to another job for a $10,000 or even $20,000 increase in salary. The freedom they have to do great work is more valuable, and harder to match, than a pay raise—and employee's spouses, partners and families are among a ROWE's staunchest advocates.

Commonly visited as part of the Hajj pilgrimage, Medina is the second most holy city of Islam, where Prophet Mohammed migrated to before his triumphant return to Mecca. Personally renamed as Medina by the prophet, it was earlier known as 'Yathrib'. Home to three of the oldest Islamic mosques, much of the physical heritage has been destroyed by the Saudi rulers since these historic sites historic sites could become the focus for idolatry.
Entrance into the city of Medina is also restricted to Muslims only. The burial site of the prophet is also located inside the Grand Medina Mosque, known as 'Masjid Al-Nabawi'. The streets leading to and around this mosque are lined with shops selling goods like caps, prayer rugs, rosary beads, copies of Quran and other religious materials. Though alcohol is prohibited, there are several restaurants selling numerous varieties of foods from all parts of the World.

Last night's season premier of "Teen Mom 2" season 5 was full of revelations from when fans last saw the cast. One of the biggest, and most heart breaking stories was little Ali's as her mom, Leah, shares what the official diagnosis of her developmental condition is. On Jan. 22 Reality Tea shares the information.
As fans of the show know, Leah and Corey have been very proactive at Ali's health and trying to get a definitive answer to what their little girl suffers from. Finally, after seeing several doctors, Leah and Corey have found out that Ali suffers from a rare and incurable form of MS. It attacks her respiratory system, and while she can walk now, the older she gets and the more weight she gains as she grows, the less likely that is going to be. She will likely be bound to a wheel chair for most of her life since her muscles won't be able to support her.
In last night's episode, Leah says that she will always take care of her and do what she can to ensure that she's as healthy and happy as possible, her and Jeremy are planning on selling their dream home to get one that is more handicap accessible so that Ali will be able to get around in a wheelchair when that time comes.
Leah also says that having a diagnosis for Ali has also brought her and Corey closer together because they are united for Ali, even the step-parents of Ali are on board to do what they can for her. Both Jeremy and Miranda (Ali's step-parents) are also fully supportive of helping Ali in any way.
Do you have any advice for Leah and Corey about Ali's rare form of MS? Share in the comments below.

|Microscopic approaches for nuclear Many-Body dynamics: applications to nuclear reactions
|Cédric Simenel1Benoît Avez1Denis Lacroix2
|These lecture notes are addressed to PhD student and/or researchers who want a general overview of microscopic approaches based on mean-field and applied to nuclear dynamics. Our goal is to provide a good description of low energy heavy-ion collisions. We present both formal aspects and practical applications of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. The TDHF approach gives a mean field dynamics of the system under the assumption that particles evolve independently in their self-consistent average field. As an example, we study the fusion of both spherical and deformed nuclei with TDHF. We also focus on nucleon transfer which may occur between nuclei below the barrier. These studies allow us to specify the range of applications of TDHF in one hand, and, on the other hand, its intrinsic limitations: absence of tunneling below the Coulomb barrier, missing dissipative effects and/or quantum fluctuations. Time-dependent mean-field theories should be improved to properly account for these effects. Several approaches, generically named "beyond TDHF" are presented which account for instance for pairing and/or direct nucleon-nucleon collisions. Finally we discuss recent progresses in exact ab-initio methods based on the stochastic mean-field concept.

This project designed by Giacomo Pala is the result of the contrast between elaborately formal and incoherent shape and program: a detailed investigation of real specific housing problems in relation to the expansion of the city of tomorrow and the issues of globalization.
The project is divided in two parts: the upper one is the housing block where 650 people can live.
There are four Typologies of apartments: 1. Apartments for singles or couples ( 60 %) 2. Apartments for four people ( 17 %) 3. Apartments for three people ( 17 %) 4. Double height apartments for four people ( 6 %)
The second part of the building is the lower one which is composed by the public spaces. This part of the building is a 3 floors block (containing sports Clubs, Swimming Pools and gyms) defined by a dynamic shape and not directly connected to the housing part in order to maintain a diversification of the public, semipublic and private spaces.
How can we look at the world today?
How can we imagine a project for the future in a realistic way?
We know now: Reality is not "Reality".
Reality is an Incoherent and dense mix of realities.
It is a swarm which we generically call "reality".
How can we use it to design?

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - New Hanover County Schools Superintendent Dr. Tim Markley met with 19 high school students Wednesday morning as part of his annual Superintendent's Student Advisory Breakfast.
Markley said he was every careful when rounding up the students for the meeting and asked the principals who they would recommend.
"I wanted a cross-selection of students, not just the best students," explained Markley. "From honor kids to kids who have spent some time in the principal's office - I wanted a great selection."
The participating students, representing the district's seven high schools, had an informal discussion with Markley about student concerns. They talked about things like access to technology, school safety and ways the district can improve.
"All the cultural changes these days, the drug issues in school and the problems we've seen downtown - I really want to know how the students are responding to all this," said Markley.
One student from Wilmington Early College expressed frustrations regarding counselors putting advanced students on the back burner because they need to focus on the general population of students.
For a couple years the students have said they needed more access to their guidance counselors, and Just this week the school board announced they are looking to increase the amount of time counselors spend with their students.
The school board's proposed changes would require every high school student to meet with their counselor for a personal session once a semester.
The proposed changes will be discussed at the next school board meeting in April.
Students from Wilmington Early College also mentioned the lack of sports and extracurricular activities to participate in.
Other concerns from students across the district include gangs and general safety. A student from New Hanover High School said they felt "extremely safe in school, but [NHHS] has a really bad reputation."
A student from Mosley brought up the point that students can't always depend on teachers to be responsible for gang dangers. The kids have to speak up to teachers and staff, because typically the students will have a better idea of what is really going on.
Markley said they've had a great student response at this breakfast event over the past several years. School officials have made actual changes in regards to taking student input from this meeting.

The PESP closure is unlikely to have much of an effect this summer because a scheduled hazardous materials cleanup meant most facilities would be closed anyway, said Matt Green, acting district superintendent for the park agency's Sierra District.
