Medinah memories will surely linger
MEDINAH, Ill. -- Team Europe needed, what, 10,000 things to go right for it to win the Ryder Cup? Team USA only needed 4½.
But it was the European players who stood in the fading sun of a cool, late September evening and sprayed oversized bottles of champagne at anything that sang, "O-le ... O-le, O-le, O-le." It was the Europeans who wore their countries' flags like tunics and capes as they celebrated their Miracle At Medinah. And it was the Europeans who won -- again -- the Ryder Cup almost nobody (hello) thought would be theirs.
The final score -- 14½-13½ -- is almost impossible to comprehend. For both teams.
"I can't believe it," said the champagne soaked Graeme McDowell. "I really can't."
"We're all kind of stunned," USA captain Davis Love III said. "It's a little bit shocking."
No, it's a lot of a bit shocking. I thought it was over after Saturday. So did the pro-American crowd that poured on to the grounds at 7 a.m. like it was the Oklahoma land rush.
Lesson learned.
"It will go down in the history books of the Ryder Cup," Team Europe captain Jose Maria Olazabal said.
Europe won fair and square. But Team USA helped. Or gagged, depending on how you want to judge what happened during the 6 hours, 10 minutes it took for momentum to dump the Americans and elope with Team Europe.
Love's team put its head on its pillow Saturday night with a 10-6 lead. Only 4½ points separated the Americans from victory.
That meant the Europeans would have to win at least eight of the remaining 12 singles matches to retain the Cup. That's like telling Rory McIlroy to grow his hair straight.
But then the miracle began to percolate. Luke Donald beat Bubba Watson in the opening match. Then Ian Poulter beat Webb Simpson. Then McIlroy beat Keegan Bradley. Then Justin Rose flipped a late Phil Mickelson lead. Then Paul Lawrie put a choke-hold on Brandt Snedeker.
And then, well, all hell broke loose.
A supposed sure thing became a European comeback. A European comeback became an American collapse. An American collapse became that 1-point Team Europe victory.
Ryder Cup records
Some players went undefeated at the 2012 Ryder Cup. Others went winless and most fell in between. Check out each team's records.
U.S. team | European team
Thirteen years ago at Brookline, the Americans overcame an identical 10-6 Sunday deficit to win the Cup. But what Team Europe did here at Medinah, with seemingly half of Chicago straining the fairway ropes, was even more impressive. And to see the looks on the faces of those 12 American players, it was even more stunning.
Jim Furyk sat stone faced during the closing ceremonies. He looked like a man who was going to have a very hard time sleeping Sunday night. Or nights to come.
It was Furyk who left the 16th hole 1 up over Sergio Garcia, the 17th hole all-square and the 18th hole 1-down. When Furyk missed about an 8-foot putt that would have halved the hole and the match, he dropped his head in silent anguish and placed his hands on his knees. He suddenly looked much older than 42.
There was a quick congratulatory handshake with Garcia, but then Furyk lingered on the green, as if he still couldn't believe what had happened. It was a similar look to the one he had this past June, when he blew a chance at winning the U.S. Open.
"As far as team versus individual, it's the lowest point of my year," said Furyk, who suggested that even Garcia would admit that the Spaniard was outplayed Sunday by the American.
The scoreboards around the course disagreed. Europe had its first lead in the overall score, 13-12. The miracle was a single point from reality.
There was still a chance for the USA to put a tourniquet on its day. But it all ended when Martin Kaymer, who hadn't even played in either of Saturday's two team sessions, sank a 6-foot, Ryder Cup-clinching putt.
You can blame Steve Stricker, if you'd like, for not delivering at least a vital half point in the match against Kaymer. After all, Stricker, a captain's pick and the oldest player on either roster, finished this Cup 0-4-0 in his matches.
"I didn't get it done," Stricker said.
Or you could admit the obvious: that Kaymer, under the kind of golf pressure that usually reduces nerves to spaghetti string, made one of the great putts in Ryder Cup history. It was 6 feet going on 60.
If you don't think 6 feet is much, then dig up the video of the 1991 so-called "War By The Shore," when Bernhard Langer, a German just like Kaymer, missed from the same distance and allowed the USA to win the Cup.
Largest Deficits Overcome To Win
Entering Singles
Ryder Cup Final Day Since 1979
|Singles Score
|'12 Europe
|8½ - 3½
|8½ - 3½
|'95 Europe
|7½ - 4½
|7½ - 4½
When asked afterward if he was thinking about Langer as he prepared to hit that final putt, Kaymer was interrupted by Garcia.
"I did," Garcia said.
"I don't like the question," Kaymer said, "but it's true: Yes, I did."
History has a way of circling back in these things. Love and Olazabal both played in the 1999 Ryder Cup. So the symmetry of this day and this comeback wasn't lost on anyone who took part in Sunday's matches.
"I knew what we felt like going into it," Love said of '99. "We knew they remembered that as well. Exact same score."
Team Europe used those memories as a reminder of what was possible. Team USA used them as reminder of a 2012 worst-case scenario.
"[1999] was fun," said Furyk, who played on that team. "This was pretty miserable."
So much had to go right, even perfect, for Team Europe to keep the Cup. Think about it:
• McIlroy almost missed his 11:25 a.m. tee time because he confused his time zones. "Absolutely ridiculous," harrumphed former Europe team captain Colin Montgomerie.
McIlroy arrived at Medinah just 11 minutes before he was supposed to hit his first shot. Just think if a state trooper hadn't been available at the hotel to give McIlroy the full siren treatment. Had he been disqualified for showing up too late, Team Europe would have lost a full point.
Instead, McIlroy did the champagne celebration dance with a Flavor Flav-sized clock hanging from his neck. Had his teammates had really wanted to be funny, they would have set it to 11:25.
• If Rose doesn't sink the three biggest putts of his life in succession -- a par-saver on No. 16 and birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 -- Mickelson wins or, at the very least, gets a half point.
• If Poulter doesn't keep his win streak alive (4-0 during the remarkable week, 12-3-0 for his career), then it's the Americans who are spraying champagne Sunday.
• If Kaymer doesn't deaden his nerves on that last putt, then it would have come down to the final match of the day: Tiger Woods vs. Francesco Molinari.
Woods, by the way, was 1-up after 17.
Garcia had it right when he said later that it was "a combination of [Europe] playing great and maybe then that little bit of pressure getting to [the USA]."
This is the seventh of the past nine times that Team Europe has won this thing. The Cup is spending more time overseas than an expatriate.
But the Europeans won it more than the Americans lost it. That won't be much consolation for Team USA. It never is.

Events honoring the mathematical constant pi (3.14159 ) began at precisely 1:59 on March 14, thus making the date 3/14 1:59.
Coincidentally, March 14 is also Einsteins birthday.
Mathematicians have been fascinated by pi for over 2,500 years.
Defined as the ratio of a circles circumference to its diameter, the infinite series of numbers that form pi have never been shown to form a discernible pattern.
"The number of Pi is incredibly important to all technology," said associate professor of mathematics Steve McKelvey, who, along with four other professors from the math department, submitted to being "pied" by the student body in recognition of the day.
National events also recognize the importance of pi with contests, forums, and projects sponsored by the Goudreau Museum of Mathematics in New York.
For many years the college held a math colloquium on Pi Day, but this changed with the arrival of Luke Anderson 02.
This former St. Olaf student memorized a sequence of the digits of pi and began holding performances on each Pi Day to sing the numbers to his audience.
His last performance was this year.
Along with singing the digits of pi, Anderson composed and sang several songs in honor of pi set to the tune of Jingle Bells, O Christmas Tree, and other popular tunes.
This year the event was combined with the Womens History Month celebrations and the audience was served pie.
While attendance continues to be mostly math and science majors, professors are ever hopeful about spreading "the joy of pi."

Dr. Quagliata is a great doctor. He is very informative and nice. He really puts you at ease about your condition. He is very handsome too, I like to call him Dr. GQ. But, once he finds out you are really having pain and a hard time, he acts immediately. I was having gastro problems for 3 months and seen various doctors.The other doctors put me on medications that really didn't work for me. The first time he saw me, he put me on a medication for my stomach pain that worked and set me up for a endoscopy. I have seen a few gastro doctors in my time. I have celiac disease also. Most doctors don't listen enough to their patients, but doctor GQ listens to you. I feel he is a competent doctor in every way. I recommend him to anyone with gastro problems. I am so confident in him, I decided to do this review. PS. I know, I call him Dr GQ, but he is okay with that. His Italian last name is rather long. Most of his patients call him Dr. Q.

What You Wanted
Proving you do not need to light a cigarette to be smoking hot, MenOver30.com's favorite Marlboro Man, Parker Williams, shares his fine form with us again today after almost a two year absence since he first electrified our pages. Handsome, hairy, horny and hung, forty-two year old Parker exemplifies what explosive combination charisma, confidence, good looks, and a whole lot of cock can be. Just sprawled out the bed, the fur coiling out of the top of tank and a bone about to rip through his shorts, Parker does what few men can do: he almost makes us forget hot looks on the outside because of how hot he is in the inside. Fret not, gents, almost is the operative word here; the outside is where we are starting.Inspecting the lush coating of hair on his abs follicle by follicle before moving up to his chest, Parker then puts both arms behind his head, giving us a moment to absorb this view of the masculine ideal: rounded biceps, inked arms, a forest in each pit and an untrimmed magic carpet starting with his beard and heading south. His rugged face is crimson from the rays of the sun, but it is the solar flare he is grabbing in the center of his khakis that rivets our attention. Parker forces the waistband down low enough to the short and curlies of his thick bush come into view before he shucks the rest of his clothes and offers himself the way we wanted him all along: buck ass naked, throbbing hard and the need to seed on his face.A bullet of spit escapes from those handsome lips and lands squarely in the center of his shaft sticking out below. The camera moves up and down his body, exploring every hair-covered inch of the terrain underneath before zooming on the twitching seven inches between his meaty legs. Standing up and turning around, Parker flexes his glutes, bends over, and lets his balls hang low and that cock hang lower before jumping to bed, spreading his legs wide and ratcheting up the motions to the �uber stroker� setting. His lips arched, his toes curled and his eyes shut tightly, his balls contract, sack preparing making its journey up, preparing to the sperm within to make their own journey. Spilling all over his fist before dripping down to his heaving abs, Parker licks his finger, then uses his tongue to clean every drop off of his fist, proving us indeed correct in our assessment: he is just as good inside as he is outside.

Utilitarian Infancy Looking to stay on budget, parents seek multifunctional designs for efficiency Implications - With children growing up at an increasingly fast rate, keeping up with the need for new accessories and furnishings can be financially straining for parents. Seeking to invest in necessities that will be longer lasting, parents are turning to multifunctional designs that can easily adapt to the maturity of infants. Transformable infant accessories combine the convenience of multifunctional goods with the desire for cost-effective techniques, speaking to a desire for practicality over aesthetics.

Kidaptive Design Products built with adjustability to accommodate growing children Implications - As both parents and designers know, caring for a child is expensive. As children get older, products that once fit them as babies are no longer suitable, meaning that parents must continue to spend money on new products. However, there is a growing direction in 'kidaptive design,' designs that are adjustable and adaptable to a growing child's needs. These include everything from furniture to footwear that will adjust in width and height, ensuring the product can still be used by the child and thereby alleviating financial stress from parents.

Railroad Industry Commits to Hiring 5,000 Veterans in 2012
Ed note: This post was originally published on FastLane, the official blog of the U.S. Department of Transportation
I've written before about how veterans have the right skills and training for successful careers in transportation as a result of their service. And at DOT, helping our veterans find work strengthening America's transportation system is a commitment we are proud to fulfill.
That's why yesterday, I was proud to join Association of American Railroads (AAR) President and CEO Ed Hamberger and Joining Forces Executive Director Brad Cooper to announce that 500 companies and organizations from America's railroad industry will hire more than 5,000 veterans in 2012.
Participants in this outstanding initiative include freight, inter-city passenger, and commuter railroads, as well as rail supply companies represented by AAR, and I thank them for of their commitment to America's heroes.
Hiring experienced military men and women into the railroad industry is not a new practice. For nearly two centuries, rail manufacturers and operators have recognized that our veterans bring a wealth of skills that translate from military service to successful railroad careers. In fact, 25 percent of the industry's current workforce has military service.
Yesterday's renewed commitment from AAR and its members builds on the First Lady and Dr. Biden's Joining Forces initiative to recognize, honor, and support veterans and military families during their service to our country and throughout their lives.
At DOT, we've found that hiring veterans is a win for everyone involved. And we want to continue putting the men and women who have served this nation to work in our rail yards, in our skies, and throughout our transit systems.
Last month, we joined with our friends at Veterans Affairs to launch a new web portal, the Veterans Transportation Career Center aimed at helping veterans find transportation jobs and helping transportation companies find qualified veterans.
And just last week, we announced the second round of grants through our Veterans Transportation and Community Living Initiative, making $29 million available for 64 projects in 33 states. These funds will improve access to the transportation services that our veterans, military families, and wounded warriors greatly need to connect with jobs, education, medical services, and other opportunities in their communities.
Our veterans have the skills and real life experience that we need to help rebuild America. Removing a few of the barriers that stand in the way of their success and connecting them with the employment opportunities that they deserve is the least we can do to thank them for their service.
We're making progress in that mission, and AAR's hiring commitment is a terrific step forward.

The Hardway Bros comprise of Mr Sean Johnston (London), Jake Davies (LA) and a clandestine South London presence, going by the name "Rico" whom we will leave you to speculate and cogitate upon. You'll have noticed a glut of remixes bearing the Hardway moniker over the past year and thus be familiar with their astral discotheque sound and henceforth the decidedly quality nature of it.
It's Sean who provides us with this exciting, new blend, although Rico may have provided a degree of spiritual vibez during, who knows. Having a DJ style described as "Future Disco" but indeed enveloping a multitude of genres that require no segregating, he's played clubs as discerningly great as Disco Bloodbath and had a most triumphant mix, feature on the Beats In Space show.
Alongside a young, rookie Disc Jockey cohort named Andrew Weatherall, Sean has pokie online founded an utterly splendid night they're calling ,
"A Love From Outerspace"
and describing it as
an oasis of slowness in a world of ever increasing velocity
It's an exploratory incision into the body of 80-120 BPM music, holding a hypnotic groove and delving into pyschedelia, the good way. This mix pays tribute to this fantastic monthly session. And as such, it's absolutely fucking excellent.

Michael and Pepper Jackson
A helping hand for babies in the NICU
Michael and Pepper Jackson have a special mission: making sure that every child gets a good start in life.
Seven of the Jackson's grandchildren —including one preemie— were born at CPMC and so the family was eager to help us expand our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.Opens new window With their help, we added some new high-tech beds for infants and a special microsurgery microscope that allows our doctors to operate with ease on newborns.
Improved health care access for all children
In 2009, the Jacksons were ready to help again, this time with CPMC's Bayview Child Health CenterOpens new window. Bayview has more children than any other community in San Francisco, but for years, it had only one specialist to care for them. It was time for that to change. The Bayview Child Health Center is now providing a wide range of pediatric services for families who for so long, have had nowhere to turn. And its energetic director, Dr. Nadine Burke, is also tackling the epidemic of childhood obesity.
Thanks to the Jacksons we have many dedicated people on the front lines working to give all children, regardless of where they live, a chance to grow up and lead healthy and productive lives.

Thank you for your thoughtful post, I was about to type something horrendously rude until I read your reply.
@Everyone else
Greg is absolutely right. I made it to 1300 bracket after 250 games in 2v2 because I stayed in Boomkin and left my shaman healer do all the work. I'm embarrassed to say that once I was educated by rooftrellenx about how we can LoS them the same way they can us I finally broke that 1800 wall. If you didn't know it; for a long while now entering and leaving combat is VERY frequent now in arena. re-stealthing is an incredibly viable option. and lastly... heal for the love of all that is good, boomkins can heal!! what a concept.
I'm eagerly awaiting Cata because there will be numerous patches for balancing and re-balancing (no pun intended). You're thinking too small scale if you think boomkins will be stuck at the mere list of proposed changes in beta. Track DK history... I felt bad for them after a while, then I died to Path of Frost in ToC and hated them again lol.
Have a good day everyone who read this far!

It is inspiring to watch Lourdes Villanueva in action. She is doing what she does best: helping children and their parents. Lourdes works as the Director of Advocacy for Redlands Christian Migrant Association.
She is so good at what she does because she's been there herself. Her parents were farm workers and she started working in the fields at age 11.
"After I got married, I continued to do that. I think when my oldest son was uh we took him to the fields. He basically spent the first two years of his life in the back of a pickup truck," she said.
But she wanted something different for her children. So as they became school age, she stayed put. In fact, she eventually got her GED and as she raised her family, she went to college and got a degree from USF. Now at Redlands Christian, she makes it her business to help families.
"It is a confusing world for them... they are fearful," she says.
She's even caught the eye of the White House. She was recently honored as a head start "Champion of Change," for her long career devoted to the goal of "educating and caring for our youngest, most vulnerable children."
"I have pretty much made it my business that families are treated fairly," she said.
And she wants everyone to remember how important farm workers are to all of us.
"I think right now, we are still blessed that from our backyard."

Folowing rumours he may be father to rebel leader, Darth Vader orders paternity test
Seemingly mundane Boba Fett poster reveals causality between moral ambiguity and fragmented identity
MENLO PARK, CALIFORNIA—From his hyperbaric throne room at Facebook's Menlo Park Headquarters, His Most Holy and Beloved Emperor Marcus Zuckerburg announced a nefarious partnership with the Dark Lord Bono of the Irish rock band, U2.
The merciless and superfluously-bespectacled Lord Bono formed an alliance with Emperor Zuckerburg after the announcement of the Great and Venerated Facebook becoming a publicly-traded company.
"Our Brother Bono and his vast business empire will make for an important strategic asset in the coming consummation of my Grand Arrangement," said Our Lord Zuckerburg to the raucous press corps that was present in His throne room. "Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design."
Bono the Merciless, the Braggart, the Intolerable, has since 1990s held a ludicrous magnitude of influence and clout from his monumental endeavours in the music industry and philanthropy.
Lord Bono has held sway as managing director of the investment firm Elevation Partners with his mighty Hibernic fist. The firm has purchased up to a $270 million share of Facebook and with Facebook now going public, Elevation Partners will have a net return of $1.5 billion. This will make Lord Bono the richest musical tyrant in the known galaxy, easily beating ex-Beatle and Knight, Sir Paul McCartney.
"I was but the learner; now I am the master," remarked Lord Bono in an earlier interview outside Menlo Park's Zuckerburg Monument Promenade.
Emperor Zuckerburg Himself stands to become one of the richest sentient lifeforms on Earth, with His own personal share in the company standing to be worth an estimated $24 billion.
Facebook's announcement of its Initial Public Offering came as a shock to some, resulting in a deal of criticism from some users. Many felt the social network was already a highly profitable private company and voiced concerns over an increasing advertiser presence. Those users were quickly tagged as Traitors of the Emperor in all of their public photos and had their Farmville accounts suspended—a swift and just punishment.
Despite a hard line against the rebel scum, Emperor Zuckerburg did acknowledge that such concerns stewed upon His own infallible mind, but in His infinite wisdom, He knew the decision was righteous.
"As Emperor, I aim to counter the increasing threats against the Online Democratic Republic of Facebook from Google+, Twitter, Microsoft and all other enemies," proclaimed His Holiness. "But, as you are all aware, Loyal Subjects, talk is cheap and in this game it's all about the Benjamins."
The Emperor made his first move by strategically purchasing photo-sharing service, Instagram, a far-sighted maneuver proving the awesomeness of Brother Zuckerburg's intellect.
"By purchasing an otherwise profitless social tool for billions of dollars, new technology start-ups will be begging to be assimilated into our Empire and the larger Grand Arrangement," said His Supreme Omnipotence Emperor Zuckerburg.
"There is no need to conquer when the world demands to be ruled!"
The Emperor's monumental and ingenious arrangement with the Dark Lord Bono brings together yet another perfect strategy, expected to garner thousands of Likes across Facebook.
"This alliance is an important step in the future of Our Great Facebook," said Emperor Zuckerburg. "It will ensure the propagation of our mighty empire, built on the need for humans to connect with one another and solidified by the need of employers to sift through the documented evidence of their applicants' drunken debauchery."
After market closing today, His Most Holy and Beloved Emperor plans to use his obscenely gratuitous investment returns to buy the entire stock exchange.

PAPULA FALLS—Two science fiction geeks who were presumed to be heterosexuals made revealing statements in an argument over the comparative merits of Captains Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds of Star Wars and Firefly, respectively.
Data entry-clerk/fan-fiction writer David Cabrini argued in favour of the rugged yet dashing scoundrel-turned-hero Han Solo (Harrison Ford), whiles his childhood-friend, Todd Whitman, expounded the virtues of brawny but quick-witted anti-hero Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion)—conversations which belied a deeper homoerotic subtext to which neither party would readily admit.
"Han Solo is independent—he doesn't follow the whims of anybody but himself," argued Cabrini, who could barely conceal his passion for the untameable rogue.
"But Malcolm Reynolds is someone you can relate to," countered Whitman, "someone in a difficult position, leading a team, unsure of himself, making mistakes, but still wanting to do the right thing."
Whitman added: "And he's fun and witty—you could hang out at the gym with that guy. You know, shoot the shit in the locker room or the sauna."
Cabrini and Whitman spent over an hour discussing the various aspects of what made their heroes "real men", listing resourcefulness, compassion, an ease of style, and a good grasp of weaponry—with an emphasis on pistols—all the while, the two friends stared wistfully into the other's eyes.
Over the course of the discussion, the point shifted from extolling the characters' virtues of chivalrous badassery to illustrating the appealing attributes of the actors who portrayed them.
"You're so totally wrong—this is Harrison Ford we're talking about," spoke Cabrini in a tone that would have evoked from passerby analogies to the arguments of a married couple. "The man is 69-years-old and he could still fuck you up."
"Maybe he could fuck me up—I am a little doughy around the edges," said Whitman, in a subtle moment of sensitivity disguised as self-deprecation, "but Fillion's still young and in top physical form and I bet he could plow Ford."
"Oh, you're not doughy, dude," Cabrini retorted, taking the opportunity to stick in a compliment before playfully poking Whitman in the stomach.
Despite the fact that two seemingly straight men were having a deep discussion on the attractive qualities of two metaphors of manliness, Cabrini and Whitman continued to dance around the obvious, each making vain attempts to diffuse suspicion, but often failing outright.
"I like women, believe me," said Whitman, chuckling nervously. "But c'mon, given the chance, wouldn't you go to bed with Nathan Fillion? You know—if the opportunity came up, a one-time thing. Just to say you did it, you know?"
"I don't think we can hang out with each other anymore," half-joked Cabrini, knowing he could never truly express the inner turmoil in his heart.
Both feeling uncomfortable, the conversation quickly devolved into a half-mumbled discussion of how great it would have been to have seen Christina Hendricks in a full-frontal scene starring her large, milky-white bosom in the "Our Mrs. Reynolds" episode of Firefly.
Never reaching a definite conclusion on the argument, Cabrini and Whitman were able to come to a complete agreement that Captain Jack Harkness of Torchwood was pretty enough to consider sleeping with without it counting.

"Finally, I decided to take the plunge," Henry Chauncey wrote in his diary on Sunday, February 4, 1945, a few days before his fortieth birthday, and so a natural day for assessing the course of his life. "From a safe and respected job I am embarking on an opportunity whose development depends very much on what I do." The safe and respected job was an assistant deanship at Harvard, where he had been working as an administrator for fifteen years; the opportunity was a position in the nascent field of educational testing, where Chauncey would be in on the founding of an organization that could, he thought, in effect serve as the personnel office of the postwar United States, using multiple-choice mental tests to assess large segments of the civilian population for the first time in the country's history.
Chauncey, descended from clergymen (his father was an Episcopalian minister, his ancestors Puritans), went to church, and afterward he added to the day's diary entry:
During Church this morning a thought occurred to me which though not new was amplified in its implications.... As soon as we can put in numerical terms the needs for individuals in different types of employment, nationally and locally, we will be able to embark through appropriate tests on a census of the population in relation to those jobs.... Since we do not want to prescribe what a person should do we can indicate to the boy or girl the probability of success or failure in each field of work and the demand for people of his combination of abilities.... This project requires consideration from a lot of angles but men of vision in the field of testing, vocational guidance, government, economics, education could be consulted individually and eventually in groups and a program eventually developed. Men with whom this might be discussed might even be so high in authority as ... President Roosevelt himself.
With this dream in mind Henry Chauncey accepted the job, which metamorphosed into the first presidency of the Educational Testing Service -- today one of the most familiar but least public of major American institutions, whose origins and rise to influence have never before been described in detail. ETS and its tests are a national obsession, deeply worked into the fabric of middle-class life. They have generated a large, independent test-prep industry and have strongly influenced elementary and secondary education, one of whose central goals is preparation for ETS tests. They are constantly referred to in cultural commentary, in sources from Boyz N the Hood to The Wall Street Journal. ETS is more than just an important organization. It is an essential part of a larger nexus: American higher education, whose growth to a scale and significance previously unimagined anywhere in the world was one of the crucial developments in our society during the past half century; and, more broadly, what the eminent sociologist Robert K. Merton calls the structure of opportunity -- a subject that ranks with its close relative, race relations, at the top of the list of the defining concerns of America.
HENRY Chauncey became interested in mental testing the moment he heard about it. His mind, like the minds of his Puritan forebears, was attracted to a blend of purity, order, idealism, and grandeur, which testing seemed to embody. During his first year of college, which he spent at Ohio State tuition-free, because his father was the rector of a big church in Columbus, he was given a multiple-choice placement test (on which, as would be the case whenever he took a test, he scored well but not outstandingly), and he also took a course on testing. At Harvard, alma mater of Chaunceys since the 1600s, where Henry enrolled after the year in Columbus, he studied testing under another pioneer in the field, Philip Rulon. The distinguishing feature of Chauncey's undergraduate career, however, was that he was a star athlete. A towering, moon-faced, big-jawed paragon of self-confidence, Chauncey was a good enough baseball player to be recruited by the Boston Braves, and in football he made what one of his classmates later called "that greatest of all forward passes, and also the most aristocratic," to his friend William Saltonstall, for a touchdown in the 1926 Harvard-Yale game.
Among the crowd in the Yale Bowl that day was Richard Gummere, the headmaster of the William Penn Charter School, in Philadelphia, who, as Chauncey half jokingly put it later, was so impressed by the touchdown pass that he offered Chauncey a job as a teacher. In 1929, after two years at Penn Charter, Chauncey returned to Harvard as an assistant dean, with the eventual goal of starting his own boarding school. But his interests soon took him elsewhere.
In January of 1932 Chauncey attended a lecture at Harvard by William S. Learned, a social scientist (at that time a somewhat exotic new breed) on the staff of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Learned described an ambitious study (studies were exotic then too) that the Carnegie Foundation had been conducting for nearly five years in Pennsylvania, in which standardized achievement tests were administered to tens of thousands of high school and college students.
Shockingly, the researchers found, the relationship between the students' test scores and their level of education was quite weak. Many high school students outscored college students, and more than half of those high school students who did not go on to college tested at a higher level than a quarter of college juniors. In 1932 it was miraculous that students' educational achievement could be scientifically measured across a broad range of schools in this way, instead of being judged merely on the basis of course hours taken and degrees attained. The study seemed to hold the promise that after century upon unchanged century a new, rationalized era in education might dawn.
Aflame, the twenty-six-year-old Chauncey fired off a lengthy letter to William Learned. "In the first place, and fundamentally most important, I am interested in the complete reorientation and reorganization of secondary school aims and methods," he wrote. He had another idea for the short run: "Though [the idea] is of less fundamental importance, I believe it is of more immediate consequence. It is less complicated and more possible of fruition in the near future. It is concerned with the application of objective tests to college admission." Chauncey offered to help in establishing such tests at Harvard, which was a smaller field than he had in mind but the only one he could then play on. At the start of his career he had found a newborn cause to which he was willing to devote his life.
In the spring of the following year came another fortunate development for Chauncey: James Bryant Conant was appointed president of Harvard. Conant, a thin, severe, bespectacled chemist, was the first Harvard president from a humble background, and he immediately moved to increase the representation of younger versions of himself (as opposed to younger versions of the boarding-school-educated Chauncey, who predominated) in the Harvard undergraduate student body. Only a few weeks after taking office, Conant called in a group of deans including Chauncey and said he wanted to create an ambitious new scholarship program. Harvard had scholarships already, but they were either informal arrangements (Chauncey's own Harvard education had been paid for mainly by Clarence Dillon, a prominent Wall Street financier) or what Conant called "badges of poverty": you had to be poor to qualify, the grant was so small that you had to work to supplement it, and you were cut off if you didn't maintain a higher grade-point average than that of other scholarship candidates.

Sizing Information
- The length of this tiedown from hook to hook when fully extended is 83" (L)
Our Two Cents
It's tough to find the difference from one tiedown to the next but High Roller Tiedowns feature their unique, patent pending carabiner style base hooks. These hooks have no open end so they cannot slide out of their anchor point. The ratcheting mechanisms make tightening simple and the soft hook extension feature which protects your handlebars and controls.

Light hangs on in thriller
Flying Light in front at Leopardstown
(Healy Racing Photos)
Andrew McNamara produced his mount to lead at the final flight but he was all out in the closing stages.
Grange pushed him hard on the run-in and just failed by a neck to peg him back at the line.
Doc Hollywood was sent off the 3/1 favourite (from 7/2) but could only finish seventh.
The 10/1 winner had been last seen when beaten favourite for a handicap hurdle at Galway in late October.
"He's been threatening to do that for a while. He shows us quite a bit at home," said trainer John Queally.
"That seems to be the way to ride him – quietly into the race – he likes passing horses. He jumped very well and it's a relief to get a win.
"He'll maybe come back here for the next meeting – there might be something for him."

Why are we afraid to make mistakes?
I recently saw this article and found the following paragraph: "In science, you make your mistakes in public. You show them off so that everybody can learn from them. This way, you get the benefit of everybody else's experience, and not just your own idiosyncratic path through the space of mistakes."
While i'm not sure that all scientists share their mistakes so that others can learn form them, i was wondering why we're afraid to make mistakes at work, for instance? Is it because we are told that mistakes are not tolerated? Could it be our education, from our family and school, that mistakes should be avoided at all cost or hidden when they happen?

Jun 4 2013: Making mistakes is part of being human. When I was growing up I was beaten any time I made a mistake especially silly ones. I told my mom recently that it is better if someone made a mistake, the person's attention is called so that the person can become more aware of his/her mistakes, if it happens for the second time then I guess that person deserves a punishment. But honestly, there are certain mistakes one must not commit like a nurse administering the wrong prescription to a patient, or cheating on your wife/husband.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon an individual (and organization) that had a profound impact on me.
Scott Harrison was a club promoter in New York City, and realizing that his wealthy life was going nowhere, he decided to use his skills to help people. There is a much longer story to it, but for the purpose of this post I will not develop it here.
In exactly one month, on February 9th, I will turn 22nd. And this year, I want to give it all away to those who need it the most.
I think it's about time I act towards real change, and I want to set myself a challenge.
Working in Digital Marketing, I get to witness the miracles of social media, and I strongly believe that the ultimate sharing experience is to selflessly give and help without expecting anything in return.
I have an extended network, and although I don't expect everyone to respond to my little call to arms, I am aiming high.
The ultimate goal for this challenge is to raise enough to fund an entire project. In terms of numbers, we're talking about $5000 (or about £3100 / 3800€.)
This is a huge amount of money, but if we break it down, it's 'easier' to achieve than one would think:
- If you put things in perspective, a few years ago, when one of my friend had his birthday coming up, we would spend around 20€ for a CD or a DVD. Then, we decided to put the same amount of money all together, among a group of friends, and this allowed us to get presents of higher value (an iPod or a digital camera weren't rare if you could get 10-15 people to chip in.)
The point is that if there are enough people, little by little it doesn't sound that big anymore!
Over the next few days and weeks, I have planned for quite a lot of things to raise awareness over this campaign, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, it would mean a lot to me, personally, if you could share this post with your friends and family!
Thanks in advance for reading this post and another 'Thank You' if you are considering helping out!

Alan's Favorite Coconut Cream Pie
Community Recipe from
- cocconut
- Alan's Favorite Coconut Cream Pie
- Pin It
- Makes 2 (9-inch) pies * Double boiler * Electric mixer
- Alan's Favorite Coconut Cream Pie
- Pie Filling
- 2 sticks (1/2 pound) butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk (I use Pet)
- 1 cup regular milk
- 6 large egg yolks, lightly beaten (save the whites for the meringue)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (14 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 (9-inch) piecrusts, homemade or store bought, baked as directed
- Meringue
- 6 large egg whites
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Make the pie filling. In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, melt the butter. Beat in the sugar, flour, and salt. Add the milks and stir continuously until the mixture thickens. This may take up to 30 minutes.
- Once it's thickened, stir a little into the egg yolks. This will temper the yolks and keep them from cooking too fast. Stir the tempered egg yolks into the mixture in the double boiler and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Remove the top from the double boiler. Stir the vanilla and all but 1 cup of the coconut into the filling. Pour the filling into the piecrusts.
- Make the meringue: Heat the broiler. With the mixture, beat the egg whites on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar, then beat in the vanilla. (By now, the peaks should be able to stand and bend over as you remove the beaters.) Spread the meringue over the pie filling.
- Put the pies under the broiler to brown the meringue. (Watch carefully, as this will only take about 30 seconds.) Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of coconut on top. Chill the pies thoroughly before serving.
- A Note from Alan
- I have to admit that I have a sweet tooth, which means I'm constantly on a diet. But I can't resist Mom's coconut cream pie. It's so creamy and delicious. I know you'll love it, too.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has approved a settlement offer for the family of an inmate who died in custody.
County supervisors approved a $550,000 payout for the family of Ernest "Marty" Atencio.
The suit claimed Atencio died after officers got physical with him -- then denied him necessary medial treatment.
The family initially asked for $20 million in the wrongful death suit.
It's not known whether or not the family will accept the offer.

Route 103 back openStaff Report | July 09,2013SHREWSBURY- Mud slides closed a portion of Route 103 for about 90 minutes Tuesday night.
Around 6 p.m., state police and firefighters from East Wallingford, Mount Holly and Shrewsbury responded to a portion of Route 103 north of Mac's Market in East Wallingford and south of the village of Cuttingsville when afternoon rains triggered a mudslide that descended down the hills on the east side of the highway.
Exactly what triggered the mudslide was unclear Tuesday night. The Mill River, which runs parallel to Route 103 was swollen and muddy following afternoon showers, but for Art Seward, chief of the East Wallingford Fire Department, the incident was both unheard of and immediately inexplicable.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Seward, who has resided in the area for 49 years. "There's a possibility there was a beaver dam or something up there that just broke loose with all the rain."
On the north side of Route 103, state police detoured motorists trying to travel south onto Route 7B to Route 140 in Wallingford. Travelers heading north out of Mount Holly on Route 103 were detoured to Route 140 and back out onto Route 7.
By 7:30 p.m., a heavy equipment operator for the state Agency of Transportation had removed enough bucket loads of mud the road for it to be reopened to traffic.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

International Students
CCU is committed to building Christian leaders to serve the church and shape the world, and that mission is recognized in the number of international students who come to study here at CCU. If you are an international, we are glad that you are considering CCU to further prepare you for ministry! Below you will find information on the process as well as other important information in becoming an international student.
Becoming an International Student
The first step in the process ahead is to complete the application for admission, which can now be done conveniently online.
For further information about the Admissions process, please contact Undergraduate Admissions or Graduate Admissions.
Visa Information
All international students must obtain a student visa to study in the United States. Please contact the Registrar at CCU for information on this process.
Financing Your Education
Student Financial Services provides the most up to date information on the costs of your education here at CCU. Visit their website for an estimate of the costs.
CCU does offer a limited number of full tuition scholarships for international students. Please contact the Financial Aid department for further information.
International Student Life
Once on campus, the Center for Urban and Global Outreach (CUGO) can serve as a resource to international students at CCU. Steve Skaggs, Center Director, would be glad to work with you as you adjust to living in the United States.
Getting to Campus
International students should plan to arrive on campus several days before the beginning of the semester. If you need to arrange for transportation from the airport, please be sure to contact the Center for Urban and Global Outreach at least two weeks ahead of time with your flight information. CUGO will be glad to help you coordinate transportation from the airport to campus. For maps and directions on how to get to campus, click here.
International Student Orientation
Within the first few days of the semester, all new and returning international students are required to attend an orientation, facilitated by the Center for Urban and Global Outreach. Please watch for announcements in your email.
CCU offers housing for internationals in the dormitories only. Living in the dorms is a great way to get to know other students. For more information about living on campus, including what items to bring (and not to bring), please contact Student Life.
There are also apartments and rental homes in the neighborhood around CCU and you are welcome to investigate those possibilities on your own if you are interested in living off-campus.
All students living on campus are required to have a meal plan. Options are listed on the Dining Services website.
*Important note: There are regular times when the Dining Hall and Hilltop Coffee shop are closed. Please be familiar with the hours through the Dining Services website.
It is vitally important that you understand when the academic breaks are during the year, and what that means for you as far as meals and housing are concerned. Specific dates can be found on the Academic Calendar.
Dining Services are generally not offered during these breaks, but please check their website for updated information. Students will need to make a special request with Student Life if there are concerns about housing during breaks.
Health Care
All international students are required to carry health insurance. A policy is made available to you through Student Financial Services. Please contact this department if you have questions about health coverage. The Student Life department can provide further details about immunization requirements and referrals for health care providers.
Employment on Campus
International students are generally permitted to work only on campus. Available jobs are posted on the Student Life website, which is accessible once you become a student, and you may contact the Registrar if you have questions about your legal eligibility to work.
Academic Support
We want you to succeed academically while you study at CCU. If you would like help in understanding and completing your assignments, the Academic Support office is here to serve you. Please contact this department if you are interested.
CCU email is the primary method of communication you will use on campus. The format for all CCU students, faculty, and staff is (firstname).(lastname)@ccuniversity.edu. If you have questions about your email address or password, please contact the IT department.
It is also imperative that all international students request a campus mailbox through the Mail Center/Bookstore at CCU.
There are several public phones on campus that students may use, though most students choose to purchase a cell phone. International calling cards can be purchased at any grocery store or online.
Owning a car is not necessary while you are a student at CCU. We are an urban campus, with amenities such as dining, grocery and convenience shopping within walking distance. There is an inexpensive public bus system in Cincinnati, and several taxi services. We also have a mini-van available for international student use for those who have a drivers license.
Climate & Clothing
Cincinnati has a temperate seasonal climate. The weather is hot and humid in the late summer months of July and August. Autumn is cool and you will need a light jacket. The winter months are very cold, with temperatures sometimes below freezing. Warm clothing, a heavy coat, gloves, hat, scarf, and boots are necessary. Occasional heavy snows are normal between January-March. From spring break on, temperatures are mild and the weather is often windy and rainy. An umbrella would be useful. May and June are pleasant, warm months.
Money & Banking
You may need cash or travelers checks for your initial arrival in Cincinnati. Checks will take time, sometimes several weeks, to clear and it may take time to arrange for a direct transfer from overseas, so bring sufficient cash for your initial expenses.
When you open a bank account, most banks require two forms of ID such as a passport and student ID. There are several banks near the school.
Information about Cincinnati
More information about Cincinnati can be found by visiting the website of the Cincinnati Visitor's Bureau.
