The Impact of Giving
Below are stories of scholarships winners describing how receiving the award has changed their lives for the better.
"The scholarship supported my studies by giving me the confidence to continue with my work ethics and also assisted to pay off a large portion of my university debt which lifted a weight off my shoulders and allowed me to focus even more on my learning."

Emily's Story
My name is Emily Collier and I am currently entering the third and final year of my degree in Marine Biology at Deakin University (Bachelor of Environmental Science [Marine Biology]).
I have been the recipient of the Sally Walker Scholarship for the last two years of my study at Deakin (2012 & 2013). Before receiving this scholarship I had not thought I would be able to account for the cost of accommodation that comes hand-in-hand with the relocation of a student to university. For me, this gave me great peace of mind and helped me to not only make the initial move away from home, but to also to live on residence at the Warrnambool campus where I have made life-long friendships and learned invaluable life lessons.
Receiving the Sally Walker scholarship for accommodation at Deakin University really meant the world to me. It has essentially allowed me to move the long distance away from my hometown to complete a tertiary education in a field I am passionate about while feeling supported and being financially able to undertake other opportunities that I may otherwise have had to miss out on. It is truly nice to know there are groups, individuals and organisations out there that genuinely care about the education of the nation's young people.
I would sincerely like to offer my gratitude to the donors of the Sally Walker scholarship. Donors like you give students from disadvantaged backgrounds the ability to have equal opportunities with those from well-off families and better their future, should they have the courage to strive for it.

Kate's Story
My name is Kate Snow, and I am a second year Bachelor of Arts student. I am doing my major in sociology, and I am really enjoying my studies. When I finish this Bachelor degree, I hope to go on and complete a Masters of social work.
The scholarship that I received has assisted me in buying the necessary books and equipment for my course. It has also helped to pay for university parking, take part in overseas university subjects and buy a new computer.
I am greatly honored to have received my scholarship. It really mean a lot to me. My scholarship has enabled me to study efficiently, as I can now afford the proper study tools (books, paper, pens ect). I know that I am very lucky to have received this scholarship, and I am truly thankful.
Thank you so very much for your kindness and generosity in providing me with the Harold Memorial Scholarship. I cannot express how grateful I am to have received it. If it weren't for your generosity, then I would not have been able to afford the necessary books and equipment that I require for my course and this would have detrimentally affected my studies. Receiving this scholarship has given me financial relief, and I am truly thankful for your generosity.

Frayne's Story
My name is Frayne Gomez who was brought up in Bendigo and studied in the Deakin Medical graduate medical program. I was excited about entering the medical program at Deakin givens its strong focus on regional students and medicine.
The scholarship was amazing. I was on the Geoff & Helen Handbury Scholarship and am most grateful to be a recipient. Completing medical school would have been extremely difficult without it.
I felt extremely lucky and privileged. The scholarship was based on academic merit and regional status thus to be chosen was honourable indeed.
To Geoff and Helen Handbury- I have always wanted to meet you in person to thank you for your generosity. I have read about your philanthropic work and am more utmost impressed about your charitable work. The scholarship provided me with financial support that enabled me to engage in my studies and also maintain a healthy lifestyle. I know I am extremely lucky and will be eternally grateful for generous donation. I would love the opportunity to meet you in person if an opportunity exists.

Shaun's Story
My name is Shaun Parsons and I feel extremely fortunate to the recipient of the Helen and Geoff Hanbury Accommodation scholarship since commencing my Medical degree in 2011. I am about to enter my 4th and final year of my studies.
I cannot begin to describe how valuable this scholarship has been to support my studies. I completed my undergraduate degree in Bendigo where I was only assisted by Youth Allowance. Unfortunately this was not sufficient to support my financial needs and I had to maintain a part time job throughout the 4 year degree. Having this scholarship has allowed me to focus all my time on my studies rather than casual work to support me. This has been very important as Medicine can be an extremely demanding course, both financially and time-wise.
The scholarship has not only covered my rent for the year but also allowed me to purchase textbooks and examination equipment which is vital to the degree. Given that I no longer require to maintain casual work it has allowed me to become more involved within the university and other areas. I was a member of the Geelong Clinical a School Committee throughout 2013 where I planned and organised all the social and academic events for the year for my colleagues. Furthermore I have been able to complete clinical research at Barwon Health and volunteer with the refugee tutoring program, Diversitat. Completing all these additional activities whilst maintaining a commitment to maintaining a high academic performance would never have been possible for me without this scholarship.
Thank you so much for offering me this scholarship. I am truly grateful for your generosity. It significantly shaped my degree for the better and can only imagine it has had the same effect on fellow holders of the scholarship. I would be more than happy to speak at any event to further express my gratitude or on behalf of the other scholarship holders.

Matthew's Story
I was born in Warrnambool and completed all my study here, including the first year of my degree on campus at Deakin University's Warrnambool campus. I completed my double degree in October 2013- Commerce with distinction and Law with honours- after 5 years of full time study. I will graduate at the Warrnambool ceremony in March of this year. I was fortunate enough to secure graduate employment with the Commonwealth Bank in May 2013 and that role will commence on January 28. I will be a graduate with the Regional and Agribusiness division of the bank and will be based in Warrnambool for my graduate year.
The scholarship permitted me to reduce the amount of paid employment I was engaged in through my final year of studies so as to dedicate more time to my studies in what was a demanding year. Without this support I do not believe that I would have been able to maintain such a high standard of results which did assist me greatly in securing a graduate employment. Prior to receiving the scholarship I would have probably worked about 20-30 hours a week in 2 jobs. This made it tough, especially when I also enjoyed playing sport which had to be squeezed in with my other commitments.
I am very proud to have been a recipient of the Ray and Joyce Uebergang Foundation Scholarship. It is such an honour to have been selected as the successful applicant from a field of very talented peers. At interviews for graduate employment, I made a real point about being the recipient of this scholarship and I believe it assisted my chances of employment. It is something that will always be attached to my academic record to demonstrate how hard I worked at university.
I'd like to thank the Ray and Joyce Uebergang Foundation for providing this scholarship. It is such a generous scholarship to provide to a university student and it made my life a whole lot easier without having to stress about money or working. I hope that the foundation is able to continue to provide this scholarship as it makes a huge impact on the life of a cash strapped student and I will always remember the impact and much needed motivation that it provided me in my last year of an arduous 5 year degree.

Rachell's Letter
To The Invergowrie Foundation,
Hello my name is Rachell Poole and I was granted a scholarship in 2012 for three years of my study. When you first meet me in 2012 I was studying a Bachelor of Criminology and thoroughly enjoyed my first year of study, in 2013 I decided to increase the challenge of University and transferred into a double degree, a Bachelor of Forensic Science and a Bachelor of Criminology. It is needless to say that last year was a step up indeed but I have loved every second of being at university especially now being able to be so hands on in my degree! Due to the transfer I will have one more year of study after this year and hope to graduate at the end of 2015. In all my course units at university I have received excellent results and my aim is to one day work at the forensics institute of the Victoria Police.
This scholarship has been, well, life changing. No I am not being over dramatic. The scholarship that you grated me has paid for a large proportion of my residential fees on campus at Deakin University in Waurn Ponds. Without this financial support there would have been a large chance that living in residential accommodation would not had happened. Driving the three hours to Geelong from Elmore or even doing the course online would not have been possible due to all the time lost and the hands on nature of the course.
Not only has the scholarship enabled me to be close to university, it has opened up a whole different world to me. After the first year of university I applied for a Residential Assistant position at the college in Waurn Ponds and was successful. This position allowed me to apply my leadership skills and training to 23 other people in the accommodation whom I lived with. Being in this position I also had the opportunity to apply for the National Student Leadership Forum and was chosen to go to Canberra to learn from the leaders of our country. Living on 'res', has been a remarkable experience and I will be using the last year of my scholarship funds for a third year of accommodation.
I want to thank you so, so much for granting one of your scholarships to me. It has quite literally changed my life. Thank you immensely for your support and please contact me if you require any information.
Thank you,
Rachell Poole
Mariah's Story
I have just completed the first year of my nursing degree and have really enjoyed it. I completed my first placement at the Geelong Private Hospital and my second placement at the Geelong Public Hospital. My favorite was the Public Hospital because it was always busy and there was constantly something interesting happening. Learning within the hospital setting was fantastic, although sometimes trying to put into practice what I had learnt at University was difficult. I found my first year of uni very different from my VCE studies, but also surprisingly a lot easier. I know next year will be more full on and I am really looking forward to what it brings.
Thank you very much for your financial support to help me complete my Bachelor of Nursing Degree. I really appreciate this scholarship, it has helped me immensely in the past year and I know will keep on being a great help throughout the next couple of years. Not having to worry about paying off my HECS debt at the end of my course is an awesome feeling!!
I have never received anything like this Scholarship before and was very overwhelmed when I opened the letter saying that I was the lucky recipient, so thank you so much.
Mariah Main
"The scholarship helped support my studies, as it enabled me to buy text books, which are quite costly. As this expense was taken care of, more of the money I made from employment was then able to be saved giving me the opportunity to study an intensive unit overseas."

Ana lost a gripping US Open fourth round match with world No.2 Victoria Azarenka. The 25-year-old was brilliant but ultimately came up short, losing 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Coming into the match, Ana hadn't won a set against a top 10-ranked player at a Grand Slam event since 2008. She had been trounced 6-1, 6-0 by Azarenka at Wimbledon last year, and was a firm underdog against the world No.2.
Ana threw the form book out of the window. She hit a swathe of swashbuckling groundstrokes - huge forehands - and moved into a 4-1 lead. Indeed it was the first time in five years that Ana had started a Grand Slam match of this stature in such strident form.
She overwhelmed the Belarusian from the baseline and served strongly too. Despite being broken back, the first set was Ana's in 42 thrilling minutes.
Ana faced an inevitable onslaught from the two-time Australian Open winner at the beginning of the second set. She initially stayed on top, moving to 1-1, 40-15. Crucially, Azarenka hit back and earned a break. She began to gain the ascendancy and was deserving of the second set as she got on top of Ana's serve.
When the former world No.1-ranked 24-year-old broke to lead 2-0 in the decider it seemed that Ana's challenge was faltering. But she broke back immediately and there followed a sea-saw battle packed with breaks of serve.
Ana saved two match points as Azarenka served at 5-3 and she broke back. She moved 30-0 ahead at 4-5, and looked destined to prolong this thriller.
But Azarenka eventually clinched victory on her fourth match point, with a break of serve.
"I really played well. I put her a lot under pressure, I felt," said Ana. "I think the biggest difference was the serve in the second set. My percentage went right down. This was the big difference, because I felt like I could break her, but it was very frustrating that I was losing my serve constantly.
"I think this match was a lot better quality than the one we played in Carlsbad. But it's just frustrating because I still had opportunities, I felt. It was a very, very close match.
"But it's very encouraging, because I know I'm right there with them. She's top player. She just came from winning in Cincinnati. It's definitely a lot of positives to take from this week and this match.
"But it still doesn't change. It's disappointing and it hurts."

After a few years' absence, it looks like the Raconteurs are back in action. The Nashville rock supergroup will perform at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on September 15. Tickets are $39.50-$42.50 and go on sale at noon on Friday, August 5 via the Ryman Box Office and Ticketmaster.
Barring any earlier dates yet to be announced, the Ryman date will be the band's first concert in two years. As their last album - 2008's Consolers of the Lonely - was released mere days after it was announced, we wouldn't be surprised if a new album hits shelves before this show.

Riding side-saddle not required.
Since we've been a southpaw from day one, Arundel's original Sideloader carbon bottle cage is not to our liking on our down tube. We steer with our left and reach with our right. The Sideloader is designed to be pulled from the left. So for us, the Sideloader would work as a seat tube-mounted cage, but not down tube. Hence the introduction of the Arundel OtherSideloader Water Bottle Cage. It's designed to be pulled from the right side on the down tube and from the left side on the seat tube.
And to satisfy our need to give truth in advertising, both Arundel's Sideloader and OtherSideloader are not true side-loading water bottle cages. This is to state that you do not pull them out or push them in a plane that is perpendicular to the down and seat tubes. They are more accurately called 3/4 loaders, as they are designed to have the user insert and remove the bottle in a direction that is halfway between perpendicular and parallel.
One drawback to buying the OtherSideloader online is you don't get to see the cool packaging that is printed backwards on purpose until you get the cage in your hands. The cage comes with a small cardboard backing that includes alloy bolts. There are two sets of holes for the alloy bolts to go through, high and low. Choose one. Weight of a single Arundel OtherSideloader Water Bottle Cage is 30g.
- The longer spine channel with additional mounting holes allows the cage to be mounted on most frames
- Carbon fiber construction maintains secure bottle-gripping abilities without tipping the scale the wrong direction
- Smooth lines add aesthetic appeal to any machine
- Designed for left-hand-dominant riders
- Carbon fiber construction
- Long spine with extra mounting points for perfect placement

Great Bottle Cage
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are great bottle cages. Light weight and sleek. The side loaders work well on mtn bike frames that tend to be tight in the big triangle area. Highly recommended
A Problem Solver
Holds 21oz. Bottles - No Problem!
Great for Difficult Downtube Locations
The OtherSideloader solved a design flaw on my wife's bike. The manufacturer located the screw holes so high on the down tube that a large capacity water bottle could not be removed from a standard cage without hitting the head tube of the bike with her hand. That problem no longer exists with the OtherSideloader.

Washington, D.C. Travel Guide
Credit :
Dan Chung/Aurora
The capital city that John F. Kennedy once panned for its "Southern efficiency and Northern charm" continues to rebuild itself into the world-class cultural and culinary capital it was always meant to be. Always revered for its astonishing collection of museums and historical troves, D.C. has lately become a burgeoning music hub and-more surprisingly-a foodie's playground, with hotter-than-thou restaurants opening seemingly every week. Of course, amidst all the upheaval, the nation's capital is still enthralled and defined by power-only now, with a new, younger guard ensconced, Washington's political establishment all the more accurately reflects the city's remarkably vibrant and diverse population.
You'll find one of the country's best cultural scenes in Washington, D.C. In recent years, the our nation's capital has also undergone a serious restaurant and nightlife renaissance. To craft your perfect itinerary in our up-and-coming capital, turn to this Washington D.C. travel guide.
Things Not to Miss in Washington, D.C.

For many, the White House Christmas tree is a sight to behold, historic theaters stage classic Christmas performances, and carolers make their way down the avenues.
Hearing history (or just trouble) being made, on the floors of the Senate and House.
Strolling the Mall and taking in the monumental vistas—a walk best done in spring, with the bloom of the cherry blossoms.

Hillary Clinton Takes a Rest, How Weird is That?
Hillary Rodham Clinton's plan for 2013 was simple.
She'd embark on an epic swansong around the world as secretary of state, a dizzying itinerary of east-west and north-south flights that would take her past 1 million miles in the air at the helm of American diplomacy and perhaps break her own record of 112 countries visited while in the post. Then, there would be a long rest, time and work with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, on development issues and a sequel to her 2003 memoir "Living History."
Finally, she'd make a destiny-defining decision: whether to try again to become America's first female president.
Her health got in the way: a nasty stomach virus while returning from a weeklong trip to Europe, exhaustion, severe dehydration, a faint, a fall and a concussion that led to a brief hospitalization when doctors discovered a blood clot near her brain. The woman who'd seemed to lay the perfect groundwork for another presidential bid - indeed, who'd made a life carving out her own path - was sidelined by circumstances beyond her control.
It was a rare sign of vulnerability in what had been a carefully charted four years of often grueling overseas travel and behind-the-scenes politics, where as a peace mediator, international enforcer and global ambassador of America she fully emerged from the giant shadow of her husband. But it was not the only sign.
The deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, revealed an episode of State Department miscommunication on her watch that could feed into her diplomatic legacy and give future political opponents, should she return to politics, an opening to exploit.
And so, when she testified to Congress about the attack, both the drive and the drama forever associated with the Clintons were suddenly back. In the final spectacle of a diplomatic career that ends Friday when John Kerry succeeds her, she would not be browbeaten.
Pressed perhaps once too often on why the terrorist assault was miscast as a public protest in the days afterward, Clinton went after her Republican inquisitor with her voice rising and quivering in anger. "What difference, at this point, does it make?" she demanded. "It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."
On Thursday, Clinton denounced those who still insist the administration lied about the attack.
"There are some people in politics and in the press who can't be confused by the facts," she told The Associated Press in her last one-on-one interview as secretary of state. "They just will not live in an evidence-based world. And that's regrettable. It's regrettable for our political system and for the people who serve our government in very dangerous, difficult circumstances."
Whatever the merits of the arguments, Clinton's responses confirmed she had lost none of the vigor that had taken her from defeated Democratic Party presidential candidate to one of the world's most popular and recognizable women.
And, it suggested that despite her recent health troubles, the former senator and first lady was intent on keeping her political future in her own hands, even as she laughed off attempts to coronate her as a candidate-in-waiting.
"I am still secretary of state, so I'm out of politics," Clinton told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a joint interview with President Barack Obama last weekend. She cracked: "I'm forbidden from even hearing these questions."
But as Clinton was leaving office, the very appearance of two former foes so close and so amicable only seemed to underscore Clinton's eventual succession - if she wants it.
Even before her ailments, people close to her were debating the pros and cons of another presidential run. Would it be worth the cost in time, energy and especially money - her 2008 campaign debt was just retired in January - and would it spark a new round of personal attacks on her, her husband and her character?
Polls show her as the popular favorite for 2016; no Democrat is better placed right now to unify the party. With instant national appeal and the highest approval ratings of her political career, she would also presumably have a head start on any Republican candidate in a general election. And at age 69, she'd hardly be too old to lead. She'd be five years younger than Vice President Joe Biden, a possible party rival.
Yet any sense of inevitably is decidedly premature. After all, Clinton was considered the prohibitive favorite for the 2008 Democratic nomination for several years, right up until Obama beat her in Iowa. Like Obama, some of the potential contenders for 2016 are largely unknown quantities whose strengths cannot yet be measured.
There's no question Clinton's years as a well-regarded senator and especially her statesmanship in the Obama administration have lifted her above the partisan fray and improved her standing with the public. Her favorability rating in polls is at its highest point in her career, 67 percent in a recent Washington Post-ABC survey, indicating that the polarization that marked her years in the White House, seen again in the 2008 campaign, has been overcome.
Some of that hard-earned respect would vanish the moment she re-emerges as the face of the Democratic Party and becomes a critical player in rancorous debates over immigration, abortion, debt, taxes, health care and more.
Inevitably, she would in some ways revert to the divisive personality, who - fairly or unfairly - in the 1990s inspired a massive campaign to defeat her "Hillarycare" health overhaul and became the first president's wife to appear before a grand jury when called on by the Whitewater investigation. That probe, the White House travel office firings, her feminist positions and the many donors to her husband's campaigns invited to stay at the White House made some voters cynical about the Clintons' integrity and moved critics to go after her in strikingly personal terms.
Columnist William Safire, for one, famously labeled her "a congenital liar."
Clinton, of course, wasn't one to shy away from confrontation herself.
In the 2008 campaign, she called Obama a "slum landlord" representative and called out the Illinois senator with the riposte "Shame on you, Barack Obama." A decade earlier, she dismissed talk of her husband's infidelity as part of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" that had dogged him for years.
Now, reaction to the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, in particular, is being looked at by her allies as a cautionary tale of the tone that awaits any future presidential bid. Although no investigation has specifically faulted Clinton or backed up claims of a conspiracy by the Obama administration to provide disinformation about the assault, Benghazi's timing in the final weeks of a close presidential contest led to bitter and personal criticism of Clinton in the blogosphere, on cable television and on Capitol Hill.
It went so far that some critics suggested she was faking a "diplomatic illness," as John Bolton, a former U.N. ambassador for President George W. Bush, put it, to avoid testifying on Benghazi.
"There is an obligation here, especially if Secretary Clinton decides to run for president, to indicate what happened," Bolton said.
With the country pressing for answers after Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi attack, Clinton left the difficult task of presenting the Obama administration's response to Susan Rice, America's U.N. envoy and her would-be successor as secretary of state.
Relying on talking points drafted by U.S. intelligence, Rice delivered the now-retracted version of the consulate siege as a protest hijacked by extremists, with no evidence to suggest the attack was premeditated. Three months later, Rice was forced to withdraw from consideration to succeed Clinton because of fierce criticism from Republicans in the Senate.

Recipe by Karin Christian
"A soft, chewy, and flavorful sugar cookie. It is very important to chill the dough, as it is too sticky to roll unless well chilled."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
white sugar
1 cup
butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
almond extract
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
egg yolk
2 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
Wonderful Cream Cheese Cookies! My recipe is a little different however. If you want your dough to be perfect you MUST use real butter and make sure it is unsalted. I use Land O Lakes. I use 8oz. of cream cheese, not 3oz. 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 8oz cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp almond extract, 3 1/2 cup flour and 1 tsp baking powder. I've never had problems getting these to roll out after chilling the appropriate amount of time. They bake easy and taste wonderful. I use royal icing to decorate. They make great gifts as long as I can get them out of the house before everyone in my family eats them!!
I was so excited to try these cookies since they have cream cheese in them. I was so dissap- pointed when I ate one. They were greatly lacking in flavor.

This recipe is definitely a keeper. Rather than roll and cut out the cookies I use a small scoop (or teaspoon), then flatten them slightly with a pecan or walnut half, then bake. I also have doubled the recipe, baked half the dough and formed the remaining dough into two cylinders, wrapped in plastic wrap and freeze. When slightly thawed, slice 1/4" thick and bake.
I used the suggested changes of another user. I used 1 cup unsalted real butter, 8oz. of cream cheese, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp almond extract, 3 1/2 cup flour and 1 tsp baking powder. Very easy to work with and tasted great!
GREAT recipe. Wonderful flavor, moist, perfect for decorating, easy to roll if you keep chilled. Must add a little more flour than the recipe calls for. I scoured through all of the recipes on this site for just the right cookie cutout. Given the multitude of mixed reviews, I was unsure, but liked the variation. I am extremely happy that I took the chance. These cookies were wonderful...everyone loved them and I will need to make another batch before Valentine's Day!
Really yummy cookie. I did increase the almond and vanilla extract to a tsp. each but I made no other changes. After chilling the dough overnight, we were ready to go. The dough just had to sit out for about 15 minutes to take the chill off and you really have to work fast because the dough warms quickly. I cut my cookies thicker because....we'll, it's a personal choice so I got much less than 72 cookies. No problem because this recipe is great! 375* for nine minutes was the perfect time for me. NOTE: If you wait a couple minutes after you take the cookies out of the oven and just let them cool on the cookie sheet, they'll slide right off onto your spatula.
For anyone who really wants to enjoy these cookies you really have to use pure vanilla and almond extract. Philidelphia cream cheese and real unsalted sweat cream butter not margarine. Cut out your shapes a little thick. And make life easy on yourself by covering the cold dough with wax paper when you roll it out. If you would like them a little sweeter don't hesitate to frost them. NOW ENJOY!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM
These were delicious. After I made the first batch....I had to make another because my Husband ate them all. I didn't roll them out and use cookie cutters. Instead I rolled them into balls and pressed them out with a glass. Then sprinkled decorated sugar on top...delicious. Thanks for the post.

Orlando Science Center has developed exhibits that embody the essence of many STEM-related careers.
Several of our exhibits including Engineer It, the Pinewood Derby, Wind Tubes and the Gravitron allow visitors to use the engineering design cycle to ask a question, imagine a solution, plan it, create it and improve it. This challenge-based approach helps to build strong problem solving skills that will assist students across multiple subject areas.
Some of the careers highlighted in our exhibits and programming include meteorology, paleontology, mechanical engineering and geology. The process that many of the careers use to create and innovate is the engineering design cycle.

There is just not enough time in the school day to engage students in hands-on STEM activities, let alone inspire them to pursue a STEM-related career.

Here's a look at the top five issues left unaddressed so far through the first two presidential debates:
Regardless of the outcome of next month's election, Obama or Romney would almost assuredly encounter a potential fiscal crisis immediately upon being sworn into office.
While the topics of taxes, spending and entitlements were rampant during the first two debates, the so-called "fiscal cliff" looming at the beginning of 2013 presents a far more beguiling challenge for either candidate come January.
The fiscal cliff is a shorthand way of referencing the cocktail of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to take effect at the beginning of next year, the by-product of legislative gridlock which economists warn could do serious damage to the recovery.
A troubled housing market and financial crisis related to over-extended mortgages are the root cause of Americas current economic headache, but the topic received scant attention during the first two debates.
Obama took steps at the beginning of his first term meant to support struggling homeowners, and outlined an updated proposal in February -- but neither had much effect. One of Romneys earliest events during his bid for the Republican nomination, too, was in a neighborhood full of foreclosed homes in Nevada, one of the states hit hardest by the housing collapse.
But neither candidate paid lip service to the full severity of the housing market except as an aside in a larger discussion about the regulations on lenders included in the 2010 Dodd-Frank regulatory reform law.
Obama accused Romney of wishing to repeal that law, which the president asserted would eliminate rules on subprime housing loans.
"Dodd-Frank correctly says we need to have qualified mortgages, and if you give a mortgage that's not qualified, there are big penalties, except they didn't ever go on and define what a qualified mortgage was," Romney responded. "It's been two years. We don't know what a qualified mortgage is yet. So banks are reluctant to make loans, mortgages."
The winding-down wars in Iraq and Afghanistan received more attention during the lone vice presidential debate than they did during the first two meetings between Romney and Obama. American combat troops have been in Afghanistan since 2001 and in Iraq since 2003, and Obama has begun the process of ending the wars in each country -- something of which he has been quick to remind voters during the debates.
Romney has sought to distinguish himself from Obama on both theaters, focusing his criticism on the pace at which Obama has withdrawn troops from both countries, and Obamas decision to set timelines by which American combat troops would leave both Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Americas ability to influence events for the better in Iraq has been undermined by the abrupt withdrawal of our entire troop presence, Romney said earlier this month at a foreign policy speech.
On Afghanistan, Romney has also sought to paint stark differences between himself and Obama by arguing that Obama prematurely drew down surge troops from Afghanistan earlier this fall. Romney said he would have kept them there a few months longer, through the height of the fighting season.
Still, both Obama and Romney share the same expressed goal of all troops leaving Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
The debt crises beguiling Greece, Spain, Italy and a host of other European nations have imperiled the health of the European Union and its currency, the Euro. Moreover, much of Europe has plunged into a double-dip recession, the effects of which have imperiled the American economic recovery.
But the still-serious situation in Europe has been little more than a punchline for the candidates through the first two presidential debates.
If the president were re-elected, we'd go to almost $20 trillion of national debt. This puts us on a road to Greece, Romney said in Tuesday nights debate, repeating a line that should sound familiar to anyone whos followed the Republican presidential nominees stump speeches this year.
So serious was the situation in Europe that the president took to the White House briefing room in early June -- the same remarks in which he suggested the private sector was doing fine relative to the public-sector economy -- to warn about the impact the European debt crisis could have on the American economy.
Obama announced in June that his evolution on gay rights was complete, and that he supported the right of same-sex couples to marry.
Romney responded at the time by reiterating his opposition to gay and lesbians ability to marry while calling it a tender issue that deserved sensitivity.
The presidents announcement in June was heralded as historic, but also a politically shrewd move to energize young voters and his LGBT supporters, while also putting Romney in the difficult position of trying to strike a centrist note while not alienating the socially conservative voters who make up a core constituency of the GOP.
But given the magnitude and politics of that June announcement, it is striking that the topic of same-sex marriage didnt come up in the first two debates. (Even on another social issue, abortion and contraceptive rights, Romney stressed he believes "every woman in America" should have access to contraceptives.)
The absence of the conservative red meat on social issues is made all the more striking by comparing the first two debates of 2012 to the first debate of 2004, when President George W. Bush played up his opposition to same-sex marriage and used Sen. John Kerrys more moderate stance against the Democratic nominee.

Exercise is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle, but health clubs and gyms are also home to a bulked-up trove of myths.
Fortunately, ABC News OnCall+ Wellness has called on its experts to explode some of the perennial misinformation we've all heard about exercise.
"It's important to remember, in some of these myths, that it's different for a person who's been injured as opposed to someone who's healthy and not injured," said Dr. Sherwin Ho, an orthopedic surgeon and director of the sports medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
"[For] those that are injured, some of these myths are actually true, and that's where they came from."
Different people may receive different exercise advice, but it's clear that everyone can benefit from the exercise itself.
"I'm a person who believes in health at every size," said Joanne Ikeda, a nutrition education specialist at the University of California, Berkeley.
She said that even in larger people, working out can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and make them more manageable.
Further, she said, weighing more does not, by itself, mean that someone is less healthy.
"I think what's important are the metabolic indicators of fitness," Ikeda said, noting that doctors look at things like blood pressure, cholesterol level and circulation when evaluating patient health.
Get Your Questions Answered at the ABCNews.com OnCall+ Wellness CenterDoctors should be consulted whenever you start a new workout regimen, but hopefully these tips from our experts will help you ask better questions and give your doctor more helpful information.
Fact or Myth? Crunches Will Flatten Your Stomach
Answer: Myth
Crunches alone won't flatten your stomach, because there are no exercises to reduce fat in specific areas of your body.
"Basically, you can't spot reduce -- your body decides where to store fat and a lot of that is based on your genetics," said Gerald Endress, fitness manager for the Duke Diet & Fitness Center.
The best way to get a flat stomach, then, is to burn calories to reduce fat in the first place -- crunches will simply tone areas, but won't reduce the fat there on their own.
Exercise in general will burn calories and reduce body fat overall, said Ho.
"If the majority of your fat is in your abdominal or stomach area, yeah, you'll notice a difference, but it will burn it everywhere," he said.
The myth of crunches flattening your stomach may have evolved because sometimes crunches give the appearance of reducing stomach fat.
Ho notes that crunches burn calories, so performing large numbers of them every day will contribute to weight loss, but not as effectively as cardio.
Endress said that crunches might also seem to have a stomach-flattening effect because they can tighten and strengthen the muscles that support your back, creating the appearance of a flatter stomach.
Endress said that an exercise routine to flatten the stomach might vary by person. "You basically want to pick an activity you can stay with consistently during the week."
He said he often recommends strengthening the area through Pilates, yoga and muscle training that focuses on the torso.
Fact or Myth? If You Stop Working Out, Your Muscle Turns To Fat
Answer: Myth
Muscle only turns into fat in very rare circumstances, and it never occurs in healthy people.
"They're two different types of cells," said Endress. "Muscle doesn't turn into fat and fat doesn't turn into muscle."

Chaldene is a member of the Carme group, a family of Jovian satellites which have similar orbits and appearance and are therefore thought to have a common origin. The group probably began as a D-type asteroid (possibly from the Hilda family or the Jupiter Trojans) that suffered a collision which broke off a number of pieces, either before or after being captured by Jupiter's gravity. The largest remaining chunk (still retaining 99% of the group's mass) was named "Carme," and the smaller pieces became the other 16 moons in the Carme group.
All of the Carme moons are retrograde, which means that they orbit Jupiter in the opposite direction from the planet's rotation. Their orbits are also eccentric (elliptical rather than circular) and highly inclined with respect to Jupiter's equatorial plane. They all are very similar in color -- light red -- except for Kalyke, which is considerably redder than the others. All of these characteristics support the idea that the Carme satellites began as a captured asteroid, rather than forming as part of the original Jupiter system. None of the Carme members is massive enough to pull itself into a sphere, so they are probably all irregularly shaped.
Chaldene has a mean radius of about 1.9 km. At a mean distance of about 23.1 million km from Jupiter, the satellite takes about 724 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Chaldene was discovered 23 November 2000, by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Yange R. Fernandez, and Eugene Magnier at an observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
How Chaldene Got its Name:
Originally called S/2000 J10, Chaldene was named for the mother of Solymos by Zeus, the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter.
A name ending in "e" was chosen in accordance with the International Astronomical Union's policy for designating outer moons with retrograde orbits.

Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designer - the architect behind half-a-dozen popular online games. His premature death depressed both gamers and his company's stock price. But Sobol's fans aren't the only ones to note his passing. When his obituary is posted online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events intended to unravel the fabric of our hyper-efficient, interconnected world. With Sobol's secrets buried along with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed at every turn, it's up to an unlikely alliance to decipher his intricate plans and wrest the world from the grasp of a nameless, faceless enemy - or learn to live in a society in which we are no longer in control. . . .
Computer technology expert Daniel Suarez blends haunting high-tech realism with gripping suspense in an authentic, complex thriller in the tradition of Michael Crichton, Neal Stephenson, and William Gibson.
©2009 Daniel Suarez; (P)2009 Penguin Audio
"Suarez's riveting debut would be a perfect gift for a favorite computer geek or anyone who appreciates thrills, chills, and cyber suspense....A final twist that runs counter to expectations will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel." (Publishers Weekly)
How can the characters in this year's True Detective be worse? Ferrill is asexual, drunk, corrupt, a child abuser and worse!
"Really Fast Paced Sci Fi!"
This is a sci-fi thriller that had me guessing while on the edge of my seat. It started off realistic enough, but quickly morphed into the sci-fi thriller it is. I was expecting a thriller realistically pushing the edge of technology somewhat like Crichton's Disclosure did in 1994, but Suarez goes way beyond realism in Daemon. Nevertheless, the storyline is entirely unique for this reader
The plot seems to be the end of the world as we know it, but clever enough to wonder if there is something more we do not understand.
The narration is excellent.
"Possibly The Best Techno-thriller Ever"
No that title isn't an exaggeration. If you're content in knowing the information provided in the title and would like to skip the praise I'm about to bestow and just buy the book.
So, another book about computers taking over the world. Ho hum, blah blah, yes? Actually no. While I was reading Daemon the thought that this could really happen kept going through my head. Without giving away some of the plot points, I'll just say this. Read some of the recent news about the Storm botnet. Think about peoples addictions to WoW. Then read the book. Then think about those subjects again.
A few words to the techies: SQL injection attack, botnet, and rootkit. All those words/phrases can be found in this book. No no, my friends, this is not the book equivalent of Hackers (you know where code magically floats across the screen and other cheap tricks), this is a book written by a systems consultant (read: normally the guy that gets called in with the regular schmoes can't figure things out) for Fortune 100 companies. To use a common cliche, he "gets it." Actually he gets it, gets into its inner workings, and turns it inside out. Vague, I know, but I'm trying very hard not to spoil the fun of this book.
There is no reason for you not to read Daemon, no matter your level of technical understanding. Everyone from the CEO who has only the vaguest understanding of his IT infrastructure to the mail room guy who goes home to play WoW for 8 hours to the advertising exec who only knows how to check his email. Check it out from the library, buy it online, or borrow it, just find a way to read it. Read some sample chapters of Daemon if you need more convincing.
Driving over 100,000 mile a year since 1983, I got hooked on audible books on tape 30 years back. I now listen from my bicycle 2 hours a day
"Daemon and Freedom are a great pair."
The premise and execution are decidedly aimed at a much younger demographic but this story grabbed my attention and kept me listening through both books with rapt anticipation. Ruthless and rather horrific it still seemed quite necessary in the war that has to come to wrest the world away from the unscrupulous powers that be.
The seed purveyors that plague the honest farmers are typical of the misuse of the power of patents and a certain amount of violence will be required to overthrow their power. It's but a small part of the story but it kept things in perspective. The uniting of young people in a game type environment to change a corrupt world is a marvelous idea well executed even if the devices used are murderous. In the end it takes an evil to overcome institutionalized evil and then that evil is stripped of power by the people. Wonderful.
"It Had Me From The Start..."
...but lost me at the end. That is the only reason I am giving this book a 4 instead of a 5. The book was fantastic, and I couldn't wait to get in my car and listen to more. But...the book just ended - boom -l ike that! Once I got over the shock, it seemed obvious that a sequel must be planned, but I didn't know that at the time (now I do), and I was a bit put off by how it ended. I mean, most books that have sequels at least wrap up a little bit at the end. But noooo, not this one! However, that is my only complaint about the book. I would recommed it to anyone. It is kind of scary when you think that this story is something that could possibly be pulled off in real life.
About the computer and gaming termionolgy in the book - I have a computer background, but no gaming background, and I think that even if you have neither you can still follow along. So, don't be put off by the technology jargon in particular. You can get through it - and it is well worth it! Now I can't wait for the sequel! Daniel - bring it on!!!
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
"So COOL!!!!"
This is one of the coolest books I have listened in a long time. I am seriously a fan now of Daniel Suarez. The entire time I was listening to this book I was utterly gripped. The most interesting thing about this book is how realistic it appears and how current the title is. For anyone who is a techy and worse for anyone who is into MMORPG's this is downright a fascinating listen. There are a number of twists and turns in this book that makes you thoroughly enjoy the entire title.
Jeff Gurner does justice to this title and there is nothing I can fault about his narration at all. It was dynamic, impressive, smartly done and with the different array of characters was just plain a treat.
You will enjoy this book immensely, seamless writing, interesting concept, great twists, relevant and with superb narration.... LOVED IT!
I heard about this book from Leo LaPorte on his podcasts. It seemed interesting so I gave it a go. Damn good book, Leo was right! Even though this book is supposed to be fiction, it seems like it could happen in today's highly computerized world. I 'read' the book over two days while driving cross country. I was so impressed with it I am downloading the sequel, Freedom (TM). Leo, are you listening? This is written in the style of Dan Brown on a good day. Totally riveting.
Couldn't get enough. The kind of book that could make you late for work because you want to stay in the car and see what's going to happen next!
"Fascinating, entertaining - Highly recommended"
I remember thinking that Orwell's '1984' was a fascinating story but so far-fetched as to make me smile. These days, we don't smile anymore as video feeds everywhere capture public and private life. Reading Daemon (and subsequently Freedom TM) makes me more acutely aware of data-base technology's rapid encroachment upon the concept of the private citizen. Knowledge is power, and those who best manipulate it come out on top. While this has always been true, today it has never been easier. Daemon pulls together what some fear is the natural progression of data base technology in a was that is both frightening and powerful. We can only hope that these ideas remain far-fetched.
Daemon is a commentary on power - social, political, and economic - and the use and abuse thereof. You do not have to be a 'techie' to enjoy it. The topic is highly relevant and the narration is excellent. This is sci-fi at its best.
*A few will complain that some of the murders and sex-related scenes are harsh. People, life is often harsh. And humans can be cruel. Nothing new in that. Any who understand this will not take offense. It is, after all, just a book.
"Terrific stuff!"
Wow, there's no middle ground in the reviews for this one, so put me with the pros. A genuinely computer-literate thriller with the tiniest wedge of politics - like the onion in an ice-cold Gibson. I assume this is a first novel, because I enjoyed it so much that I immediately looked for additional work from Suarez and couldn't find any. Get on it Daniel, I want more!
"Please write faster"
I was completely engulfed by this book. I literally found reasons to drive to listen to it. As a computer engineer for over 17 years and having weather the loads of misunderstanding of technology in media; this was awesome. Also very believable to a point which I can not get into with spoilers. Only draw back as it has been said here, it ends rather suddenly.
Daniel please write the second much faster. How is next week for a release with you?

We'll admit the Boy George reference in the newest collection for Mango isn't nearly as literal as, say, the Jean Paul Gaultier spring '13 presentation. The lovely Karmen Pedaru joined with the Spanish brand to show off its winter wares, and while her bowler hat and perfectly messy locks are pretty spot-on BG, the rest of the looks were more a style chameleon of sorts.Cashing in — big time — on the popularity of black-and-white combinations this season, Pedaru poses in slim-fit skirt suits, tailored and shrunken blazers, oversized tweed coats, and graphics galore, including checks, polka dots, houndstooth, and zigzags. Alternatively, the rock-star-chic ensembles were also balanced by a selection of the coziest knits for that inevitable winter

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 574
Double posts suck.
So I got my Protege today and threw it a few times during league. The plastic isn't all that great but the disc flew pretty well. The Protege was listed as being understable but I couldn't turn it over all that much and it had quite a bit of fade at the end. I sometimes wonder if they rate discs at lower elevation so that when we get them here at altitude they fly more overstable than rated. Anyway, the disc is also rated as "floats in water" although I had no need for that today.
All in all, not a bad disc and it will stay in the bag for now. Not completely sure of its durability however. It was easy to throw and I got decent distance.
I picked up the wing and a prayer midrange to give it a shot. The rim is not like a lip at all. Its more akin to a pillow or a pie plate sitting on a coiled snake biting its tail. I tried to take a picture of it, but it really didnt show up. You will just have to wrap a finger around this disc to understand it.
Its true that I could not see anyone possibly grip locking but I could see early releases happening all day long. As I said, I have been using the mid-range, wing and a prayer, here and there. Its stability is pretty neutral and it is fairly glideless. I have not put a lot of time on it but I would consider it a fairly straight, fairly short mid-range with little fade. Once it slows down, it just falls out of the sky. Dont get me wrong, there are times that shot would be handy, but I am not sure it will have a permanent spot in my bag. From a drive, I get far more straight distance and accuracy using one of Skipper's Relics, and i dont really throw enough thumbers to justify carrying a disc just for it. All in all, I think it is a fine disc that is so outside the norm that it is a blast to throw... but only as your "just for fun second shot"
I had to come back and post an update about the Protege that I bought. The disc throws fairly well if you have a big arm. I find the rim to be comfortable and not much of an issue for me. The plastic on the other hand could be described as feeling "waxy" and seems to be a softer version of DX plastic. Hit a tree and expect some major gouges. The only good thing about the soft plastic is that a lighter will quickly restore the disc back to its original configuration.
The other thing that I noticed was that the discs tends to fly great and then instead of a fade and glide you get more of a drop, the disc just sort of falls out of the air when it slows down. I don't really care for that as I will put the disc on a great line and then it just dies.
So right now I took the disc out of the bag and will put the Star Vulcan back in. It's not that it is a bad disc, it just isn't a disc that to me makes the grade, especially with its lack of glide.
That being said, I handed the disc to a friend last night and had him bomb it. He did quite well with it and even parked one hole with it. It was a fairly long hole that he reached quite easily with that disc. So there is something good there. I think that maybe with some feedback to the company and some better plastic they could make some great discs. I guess if you live near a course with a whole bunch of water their "floating disc" philosophy could be a great benefit. But for the rest of us better plastic is what is needed.

Roundabouts in Scottsdale
A modern multi-lane roundabout has opened at the intersection of Northsight Boulevard and Hayden Road. This is part of the Northsight extension project, designed to give travelers an efficient option to bypass the busy intersection at Hayden Road and Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard. Learn more here.
History of roundabouts in Scottsdale
The City of Scottsdale began using circular intersections as an element of traffic calming projects in the mid 1980s. These designs were developed before generally accepted modern roundabout guidelines were published and have several shortcomings such as lack of splitter islands and central circles that were too small. However one exception to this was the multilane roundabout installed near the Princess Resort in 1986. This roundabout is slightly larger than what we would construct today but has had a very low collision history averaging about one collision every two years.
Why is Scottsdale Using Roundabouts?
While many people in Scottsdale associate roundabouts with traffic calming, their real use and benefit is as a right of way control device in place of a traffic signal or multi-way stop. Studies in the United States have shown roundabouts to be significantly safer than traffic signals. In these studies roundabouts reduced collisions by approximately 30 to 50 percent, reduce injuries by around 60 to 70 percent and reduced fatalities between 80-90 percent when compared to traditional traffic signals. Roundabouts can also reduce delays, reduce fuel use, reduce emissions and reduce maintenance costs. For these and other reasons roundabouts continue to increase in popularity as drivers become more familiar with them.
Examples in Scottsdale
The most recent and best examples of roundabouts in Scottsdale are located at:
- Cactus Road between 100th and 108th streets
- 96th Street and Cholla
- 96th Street and Sweetwater
Navigating Roundabouts
- Approach: Reduce your speed to the posted advisory speed. Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk; THEY have the right-of-way.
- Enter: Yield to vehicles in the roundabout. Wait for a gap in traffic and merge into traffic in the roundabout to the right.
- Proceed: Continue through the roundabout until you reach your street.
- Avoid stopping in the roundabout.
- Exit: Signal, then exit the roundabout to your RIGHT. Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
- Approach: At the designated pedestrian crosswalk, look LEFT.
- Cross: Cross to the raised or painted splitter (see legend) or refuge island.
- Look RIGHT. Finish crossing to the opposite sidewalk.

PICTURES ARE UP in the photo Album!!
I've included 4 here.
Happy New Year from Sunny Southern Californi!!
Wishing the best for Alive not dead!!!!
I'd like to make a toast to all of you out there. Artists, Friends, Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Teachers, Fans, and Lovers out there. I want you to take a couple of minutes to think about all the things that you are thankful in your life. Your health, your job, your partners, your family, your friends, your children, your computer, your cell phone, all the things we take for granted in our lives.
The soul is what makes us unique people, a human being with deep feelings and a capacity for strong relationships. Our souls comes alive in chereished friendships, family gatherings, and the care that you bring to your home. Sorround yourself with people who allow you to feel loved and cherished.
Now for next year, I'd like you to dedicate this new year to you! If you have a passion for something, go out after it. EVEN if it means failing because trying is better than never knowing. So, for 2009, I'd like to make a toast to all of you out there that have been living your life because you thought you were doing something because its moralistic or not doing something because the people around you won't understand or approve of it.
LOVE YOURSELF and the rest will follow.
Happy Holidays and to a Fantastic New Year!
You Want it, We're doing it!!

Okay, I'm really sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I've got finals and a bunch of stuff going on I haven't had time to blog but I've tried to read many of your blogs!! And, its almost the NEW YEAR!! Can you believe it? Time flys by so fast!! 2009!!
So this is what I'm thinking, there seems to be more and more L.A. Alive Not Dead people here so Why not do some gathering/ get together every two months? We can start one in January to get the first one started in 2009. I just want to see how many people are interested so that I'll actually start planning it and book a place to have it at. Some possiblities are :
Booking a few lanes at Lucky Strikes, Meeting up at a local Bar, Attending a acting workshop just for Alive not Dead members, a photography lesson with a fellow Alive Not Dead photographer, etc.
So just curious if ANYBODY in LOS ANGELES Area would interested in attending, participating, or volunteering for a Alive Not Dead Los Angeles event ??

First week back in California after my two week "Vacation". Started my third quarter at FIDM and it was very exciting! I LOVE my classes t, professors seem pretty cool, and I'm taking 19 credits all in my ten week quarter so I can hurry up and finish by June '09!! Basically cleaned out my office and sorted my closets to get ready for Fall. Yes, I'm a clothes nerd. I spend lots of time "organizing" my clothes. I coordinate my closet by colors and fabrics.
I also got back into the gym after a vacation break. Took 3 spinning classes this week and two yoga classes as well as trying to run 2 miles every time I go to the gym. I'm planning on going at least 6 times a week with 4 spinning classes , 4 yoga classes, and also running 3-5 times/ week. My goal for the fall is to try and eat more healthy.
Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Maryland

We've discussed most of these sites before on DonationCoder. You might be thinking to yourself "I already have an antivirus tool installed -- why do I need a slow online version?".
The answer is simple: These online sites will scan a submitted file using a large number of different commercial antivirus engines. This is exactly what you want to do if you need to figure out if a virus alarm is real or just a false positive overreaction by your specific antivirus tool. This happens quite frequently, and is especially important if you are a software author. These tools are the best way to find out if there is a consensus among antivirus engines about a file.
I will compare the number of antivirus engines used to scan an uploaded file, time taken to upload and scan, extra file upload methods, file information, upload progress meter and report page. I will also test the accuracy of the antivirus engines by scanning it with a detected version of Bifrost trojan.
