How to Help My Special SISTER?
Dearest Mums like Me,
Good Day to all of you!
Our youngest sister who is now 28 years old, has a mental illnes. Some would say that she got crazy but I think she is not. She could still recognize our names and would do the household chores if you would instruct her to do.
The problem with her started when she was just 11 years old. She suddenly shouted like she was so afraid of something or someone. She actually said she saw blood on our floor and somebody would stab her. We were very puzzled to what had happened to her until the situation became really hopeless. I really pity on her and I could not stop my tears from falling down while making this message of mine. She wasn't able to enjoy her life. Why this has happened to her when she was born as a normal child. She even went to school until her 4th grade.
My mother has brought her to the doctor for how many times already but she wasn't healed. she suffered for 17 years of her mental illness. My mother is a widow for 10 years already and she don't know now what to do to my sister and where to bring her. We don't have much fund for her to get well.
Please help my sister. I hope to hear from all of you.
Thank you,

Dear kindmum4kids,
I am heartbroken for you reading your post. My thoughts go out to your sister and you all. You sound wonderfully caring - how great that your sister has you and your care and concerns.
It does sound like you needs a proper diagnosis of her condition. Has a full diagnosis been made? Could see see a doctor specialising in mental health? This would be best. It may be that she needs treatment or some specialised care (as well as your care and attention) to help her.
Mental health charities can also help with this and they can put you in touch with local support groups and activities aimed at people who are suffering from mental health problems. There is no shame in having a mental health problem - this is thought to affect up to 1 in 5 of people (with varying degrees of severity).
Do you think that your sister experienced a traumatic event that started this? If so, I wonder if some form of counselling could help. I was unsure from your post as to whether it was a real-life event that she had seen.
Mental health charities and support groups can also help families which help to care for someone with some degree of mental health problems. Families and carers need support and someone to listen to them too.
Thinking of you,

Wash. Post touted Pentagon's defense over explosives issue, ignored compelling new video
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
An October 29 Washington Post article, labeled an "analysis" and titled "Munitions Issue Dwarfs the Big Picture," compiled evidence that appeared to support President George W. Bush's claim that missing high explosives once stored at Iraq's Al Qaqaa military installation "may have been moved before our troops even arrived at the site." But the Post ignored a newly surfaced video that strongly suggests the explosives were still present at Al Qaqaa as late as April 18, 2003 -- two weeks after the arrival of the first U.S. troops at the site in early April 2003. Both The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times reported the video on their front pages.
In the Washington Post article, staff writers Bradley Graham and Thomas E. Ricks reported two contentions by defense officials:
Although invading U.S. forces never secured the [Al Qaqaa] facility, defense officials have disputed the notion that such a large quantity of explosives could have been transported without notice by the U.S. military.
Bolstering the possibility that the munitions were removed before U.S. troops arrived, defense officials say, is the Hussein government's history of moving weapons to elude air attack. An official also said intelligence photos show lots of activity at [Al] Qaqaa before U.S. forces reached the site.
But the Post article failed to mention the video, taken by a news crew from Minneapolis TV station KSTP, an ABC affiliate, while traveling with the Army's 101st Airborne Division, which provides strong evidence to the contrary. CNN reported that David Kay, former chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, said the video appears to show the explosives in question. Kay also judged that the seals shown in the video resemble those that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) uses. (The original New York Times article reported that IAEA inspectors placed seals on the bunkers containing the high explosives before the U.S. invasion during a January 2003 visit to Al Qaqaa.) CNN reported:
Based on a review of the KSTP videotape, former weapons inspector David Kay said late Thursday that the seal is consistent with those used by the International Atomic Energy Agency and that the explosives in the barrel were the type of high-grade explosives missing from the complex.
"That's either HMX or RDX," Kay said, referring to the types of explosives. "I don't know of anything else in Al-Qaqaa that was in that form."
Moreover, while the Post noted Pentagon officials' reference to "intelligence photos" that show "lots of activity at [Al] Qaqaa before U.S. forces reached the site," an analysis by GlobalSecurity.com indicates that the photo released by the Pentagon does little to prove that Iraqi forces moved the high explosives before the U.S.-led invasion. That's because the bunker shown in the photo did not contain the explosives in question, according to IAEA records and maps.

RECAP: Cocaine and Mesh Tank Tops, the GIRLS Do It All
Some musings after tonight's episode of GIRLS:
Should one go to a nightclub while on coke and dressed as a pre-teen girl? Probably not. You'll end up in a yellow mesh tank top that's not yours.
Should one then snort more coke off of the lid of a public toilet? Also, no. Unless you're Hannah Horvath. Then it's a resounding 'duh.'
Can one walk around New York City topless without another human being objecting? Yes. But we all knew this already.
It's hard to call the third episode of GIRLS' second season, 'Bad Friend,' a great one. It's certainly funny. I mean, who doesn't want to watch Andrew Rannells lick cocaine off of a credit card? It's got its moments. But on the whole, it encapsulates the issues most viewers and critics have had with the series of late: a disconnect from the hyper-personal issues of 20-somethings, the lack of authenticity, instead, replaced with a degree of certainty that we're watching actors portraying Brooklynites, rather than Dunham and co. naturally drawing it out, ala season one.
This weird, weird outing solidifies the fact that Dunham's alter-ego is the shameless millennial we've all expected her to be. Things feel like they're more shakey than sturdy, the momentum to beat the sophomore slump isn't necessarily there. At least not in 'Bad Friend.'
This night of modern, misanthropic awfulness begins when Hannah takes a freelancing job for the online publication JazzHate, and receives her first assignment: write a story that involves doing a dozen bumps of cocaine and/or having a threesome.
Luckily, Hannah knows a guy: Laird.
He's that guy always hanging around the outside of your building, who may or may not live there. We all know that guy. He's that one individual that always carries a backpack and smells like fresh septic. Laird.
Well, Laird is a junkie. Scratch that: a reformed junkie. But he also knows a guy, and bam, Hannah's got a baggie of coke. Or, a gram of coke. Whatever increment cocaine is measured in.
Elijah and Hannah - lovers turned platonic roommates - go to some club where the people are too close, the music is too loud, and you suddenly feel as if you're closer to being on Social Security than in the right age demo for this shit. It's just awful. Andddd, Hannah switches shirts with some guy and from then on, it's just Lena Dunham with her breasts out.
In their stupor, crouched over two lines on the lid of a toilet, Elijah confesses to Hannah that he and Marnie had sex. We all knew it had to happen eventually. Hannah needs a reason to throw him out so Rannells can head over to The New Normal (yikes, what a mess) full-time.
Speaking of Marnie, her new job sucks. As do most things in her life post-Charlie. While fetching Jack Daniels and Heinekens, or whatever kind of alcohol real estate gurus and investment bankers drink, the antecedent of her ex shows up: the tiny Booth Jonathan. Remember him? The pint-sized artist/idiot that Marnie first encountered at the gallery opening in season one. Remember? The charmer that drove Marnie to take that instinctual trip to the bathroom. There you go.
Marnie, who has unquestionably undergone the most change throughout the series, follows little Booth back to his warehouse apartment, where things get weird. But I guess for Brooklyn, they're actually fairly normal. He locks her in this giant video-art installation of screaming babies and barking dogs and Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing." Oh my god, it's like 1996 and AOL and a 12-year old's version of the internet all around you and ughhhhhhh!

Xavier welcomes 1,137 freshmen in the Class of 2015 as students arrive to a campus transformed
"We Have an App for That" is the theme of this year's four-day Manresa orientation program | August 15, 2011
"We Have an App for That" was the theme on Friday, Aug. 19, when members of Xavier's Class of 2015 moved into their residence hall rooms. These students are starting their Xavier careers as the University opens a new four-tower residence hall and dining complex, the third new building to open on campus in two years.
The Xavier Move Crew, in bright neon T-shirts, helped the new students move into their rooms on Friday. The Move Crew of more than 200 upperclass students, ROTC, faculty, staff and alumni volunteers welcomed new students as their cars approached the residence halls. The volunteers unloaded the cars and carried their belongings up to their rooms.
To reduce congestion, Xavier offered an early move-in option on Thursday, Aug. 18, from 6:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. for first-year students in Brockman, Kuhlman and Husman Halls. Young alumni served as the Move Crew for the evening move-in.
As of mid-August, 1,137 students make up the Class of 2015 out of a total 9,306 students who applied for admission. Classes begin at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 22, and the first full day of classes is on Tuesday, Aug. 23.
About 90% of this year's freshmen are living on campus, among the more than 2,330 undergraduates who are living in campus housing this year. With the opening of the new residence hall for 535 students, Xavier now has five residence halls and five apartment buildings with 2,380 beds.
The Class of 2015 is 46 percent men and 54 percent women, continuing a trend of more women attending college in the U.S. than men. Forty-eight percent of students are from outside Ohio and represent 45 states and 10 countries; 18 percent are students of color; and 22 percent are the first in their families to attend college.
Freshmen begin Manresa, the University's orientation program, on Friday after those living on campus have moved in and commuter students have checked in. Manresa begins with a welcome to students and their families by President Michael J. Graham, S.J., in a community celebration at the Cintas Center. Manresa refers to a Spanish town where St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of Xavier's religious order, the Jesuits, reflected on his life, much like the process of reflection new students experience as they begin their college careers.
During Manresa, students meet in small groups to discuss finances, safety, diversity, academics and service. They also discuss this summer's required reading, A Pearl in the Storm, by Toni Murden McClure. The 2009 book is an account of the author's journey as the first woman to row a boat alone across the ocean. McClure will be on hand to talk with students about her book.
The week of welcome continues even after classes begin on Monday afternoon with multicultural gatherings, athletic events, specialty foods, films and other activities. For more on Manresa call 513-745-3662 or visit the website.
Returning students will find a number of new developments on campus. In addition to the new residence hall, the new James E. Hoff, S.J., Dining Commons seats up to 700 people and replaces the Hoff Marketplace in the Cintas Center. The statue of Fr. Hoff, which was located by the Cintas Center, was moved to the new complex.
In addition to several food stations, a bakery and a built-in stone hearth pizza oven, a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine lets students create their own drinks. The entire complex is 245,000 square feet and is the second largest building on campus after the Cintas Center. It includes a green roof over the dining commons and was built to LEED silver standards. See a short video tour at the dining hall website and download a copy of the latest Construction Dish newsletter.
Supporting Xavier's focus on sustainability, all students who purchase a meal plan receive an eco-box, provided by Chartwells Higher Education. They will be distributed to students during the first week of class. Students can exchange their used eco-box for a clean one at their next visit to the Hoff Dining Commons. This eliminates last year's Styrofoam take-out containers and removes more than 30,000 items from landfills each school year.
Other green initiatives include the elimination of trays from the dining hall and 100% compostable to-go cups, which replaced Styrofoam cups last year. Xavier is in the process of hiring a sustainability coordinator to oversee efforts under the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment.
Another change this year is the addition of two new undergraduate majors. Actuarial science in the College of Arts and Sciences is an interdisciplinary major that emphasizes mathematical, statistical, computational and business knowledge for the field of identifying and managing risk. And the College of Social Sciences, Health, and Education is offering a new undergraduate degree in health services administration. Xavier's master's degree in health services administration has been ranked No. 1 in the nation twice in the past three years.
Also, the project to widen Dana Avenue and install new gas piping continues. When the project is complete, an esplanade will extend down the middle of Dana from Interstate 71 to Victory Parkway. A new rotary on Ledgewood Avenue near Bellarmine Chapel has been built in preparation for an 11-foot statue of St. Francis Xavier atop an 11-foot pedestal. The statue is being constructed by local sculptor Tom Tsuchiya, who created the statues of Fr. James E. Hoff and of D'Artagnan outside the Cintas Center, and of former Reds players at Great American Ballpark. The statue of St. Francis Xavier will be installed in December.
And finally, new science labs were installed in Albers and Logan Halls while upgrades were made to Joseph, Hailstones, McDonald Library, Gallagher Student Center, University Apartments, Buenger Residence Hall, Sycamore House and Cintas Center over the summer. New water lines were installed beneath the Academic Mall to the new Central Utility Plant on Dana Avenue, and the old plant facing Victory Parkway was demolished.

Plaintively, a Massachusetts reader e-mails one of the most common questions we get here at the magazine: "Where can one live on coastal USA year-round where the summers are not too humid or plagued with mosquitoes? Where the winters never see snow and don't drop below freezing? Where your home isn't threatened by hurricanes, mud slides, or earthquakes? Where access to an airport for business travel is within an hour's drive? Where schools are wonderful and living is a small-town affair? Does such a place exist, and if so will you share this gem with me?"
Sure, it exists. But you have to die to get there, and you must live a very good life in the meantime.
As for this earth, we agree the coast comes as close as we're going to get to paradise. We've compiled our staff's collective experiences into this special section presenting the attractions―and drawbacks―of living in each coastal region. Our friends at Money magazine have even contributed some practical financial advice to keep your dreams grounded in reality.
Somewhere in here lies your gem. If you find it, send us your new address so you won't miss an issue.

This was the telescope through which the astronomer Struve made his earlier studies and discoveries.
I know something about this because I happened to be the man that caught Struve.
"I thought it might interest you to know that there's a new arrival in the valley, Mr. Struve," he said smoothly.
Struve notices it and remembers that this fellow weakened before.
At the clank of spur-chain and rowel Struve came hastily into the hallway from his office.
The evening of this second day found Struve still not accounted for.
Bessel, Henderson, and Struve almost simultaneously announced a stellar parallax which could reasonably be accepted.
She pointed it out to Struve, who wheeled and fastened his eyes upon it.
To understand Struve's scheme, it is necessary to know the most important data of his biography.
Struve hung, sputtering and coughing, against the wall where he had been thrown.

DeSean Jackson agrees to join the Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins have something more controversial than their nickname.
Former Philadelphia Eagle DeSean Jackson agreed to a deal with Washington, according to media reports and a PR official representing Jackson. Financial terms of Jackson's contract have not been revealed yet, but ESPN reported it was a three-year deal. Jackson reportedly wanted to earn between $9 million and $10 million each season. Jackson was slated to earn $10.5 million with the Eagles before he was recently released.
Jackson became an overnight bad boy after a contentious relationship with Eagles coach Chip Kelly. He spent parts of the 2013 offseason taking second and third-string reps with the Eagles. Jackson rebounded and had 82 receptions for 1,332 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last season, and made the Pro Bowl.
Jackson's performance, however, did not help his relationship with Kelly.
Philadelphia re-signed receivers Riley Cooper (five years, $25 million) and Jeremy Maclin (one year, $5.5 million) this offseason, which made Jackson dispensable. Jackson was Philadelphia's biggest playmaker, but that did not prevent his release on Friday.
Washington may have obtained a playmaker, but Jackson comes with baggage.
A story on NJ.com claimed Jackson had gang connections, an allegation the receiver denied. There were several pictures that seemingly connected Jackson to the Crips. Former NFL general manager Mark Dominik said any NFL team interested in signing the controversial receiver would have to conduct an extensive background check, which included gathering information from the FBI.
It appears Washington is satisfied with its investigation.
Jackson reportedly considered Oakland and San Francisco, but will join quarterback Robert Griffin III, who is entering his third NFL season. Griffin clashed with Mike Shanahan, Washington's previous coach, but Jay Gruden is the team's new leader. Jackson and Griffin will have a chance to rebuild their reputations as adversarial players with Gruden.
Last season, Pierre Garcon led Washington with 1,346 receiving yards and five touchdowns, but receivers Josh Morgan and Leonard Hankerson did not have a significant impact. Jackson, 27, is talented enough to open up Washington's passing game.
The NFL will not release its schedule until later in April, but Jackson will play against Philadelphia twice a year. It is safe to assume he will mark those two games on his calendar.
Prior to Jackson's release, he was a well-liked athlete in Philadelphia. It will be interesting to see if he experiences a warm reception in Philadelphia or if the applause he once received will turn into boos. As NFL observers know, anything can happen in Philadelphia, and Jackson appears suited to handle any reaction.

Famous Tongue Stuck on the Pole Scene from 'A Christmas Story' Almost Became Jon's Reality
This is day two of schools being closed with the kids being home and of course, I'm at home playing Mr. mom.

Yes, I said for the first time....I know, I know...how is it I never saw that movie? Honestly, I never had an interest until now so my wife would leave me alone about it.

Statement by Ambassador Wittig at the side-event Children and Armed Conflict
For United Nations webcast see: http://bit.ly/lc8Dcp
(as delivered)
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
a warm welcome to all of you.
Thank you all for being here with us today, especially to the Secretary-General and Her Royal Highness.
It is good to see that so many of you share our interest in the situation of children in armed conflict.
And indeed, today's situation of children in circumstances of war and conflict is still appaling and urges our common committment: children are the first victims of violence, they are the most vulnerable. Often enough, they are abused, instrumentalized and deprived of their basic needs, let alone of their proper childhood.
A lot has been said and written about the situation of children in armed conflict – and I know that a lot of expertise and knowledge is gathered here today. I will therefore not try to preempt today's discussion or even to compete with your expertise.
Please allow me, however, to emphasize on the reason for today's meeting. Like many of you, the German government shares the view that no child should be deprived of its elementary right to health and well being. This foremost applies to children in armed conflict: they are the most vulnerable part of any society, but – especially in war-torn societies – also the greatest beacon of hope. No country, no society can envisage a stable and prosperous future without caring for their children and providing them with education and protection.
We took careful note of the last annual report of the General Secretary on Children and Armed Conflict. It clearly showed that attacks against schools and hospitals are a growing trend in armed conflict. This is a great concern to us.
Germany is therefore about to submit a resolution aimed at including attacks on schools and hospitals as a listing criteria for perpetrators in the annexes of the Secretary General's annual report on Children and Armed Conflict. We intend to adopt the resolution during a Security Council open debate on 12 July chaired by the German Foreign Minister.
I am looking forward to today's discussion and to learn more about your views. We hope that today's meeting will unite us in a common endavour to act against perpetrators of attacks against schools and education.
Please allow me, on behalf of The Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Ms Coomaraswamy and myself, to welcomeespecially HE Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. I am grateful that he will deliver welcoming remarks to us.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my special pleasure and honor welcoming Her Royal Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, Consort of the Emir of the State of Qatar. Her Royal Highness has been actively engaged for the cause of education for many years. She plays a major role in spearheading national and international development projects, not least because of the founding of the Qatar Foundation. Her merits as the UNESCO Special Envoy on basic and higher education make her a very important spokesperson today and I am delighted to welcome her as today's keynote speaker.
I would also like to express my appreciation and warm welcome to today's other panelists:
Ms Irina Bokova, Director General of UNESCO
HE Ambassador Gérard Araud, Permanent Representative of France
Mr Martin Mogwanja, Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF
MrRobert Young, ICRC, Deputy Head of Delegation
I now have the honor to ask the SG to offer some welcoming remarks. You sir, have the floor

After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.
haha i seen that movie 2 days ago its a trip good soundtrack to
The whole movie I was like "Fuck, I've heard this before..." and it got to the part he sampled and I was like "OMFG I KNOW THAT!"
You can watch the whole thing on youtube BTW.
After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.
advice: DO IT/POST FLICKS.
been smoking weed for like the last few days, and i bought some dexedrine pills off my friend 3 for $5. popped them last night but didnt really feel anything.
friend had some green apple macs but i didnt buy any coz i read on pill reports that they were shit, he popped one and didnt like it.
Oh and if you don't enjoy it (personally i don't understand how someone couldn't enjoy it, it's fucking awesome) just remember, it'll wear off in an hour and a half or so.
doesnt ket just make you feel like you drunk and if you do tomuch dont you go into a k-hole this i what iheard correct me if im wrong.
And in low doses it's a stimulant, in slightly higher, it's like a drunken feeling but slightly dizzier (Speaking of which don't do Ket while drinking alcohol, it doesn't work well at all, you will regret it). Then in higher it's much more exciting, it's a dissociative psychadelic, its like that spaced feeling as you drift into unconsciousness while under anaesthetic, but you stay awake, and as the room slowly fades around you, everything seems distant, but that's okay, because if you just relax it feels right, like everything should be that distant, you are stuck in a dark bubble but that's okay, and your thought pattern gets clear but chopped, and everything is in juxtapoz, you have so much to say but you can't speak, you have so many thoughts but none of them make sense, you're on the edge of an epiphany but you just can't figure out what...
Sorry, i'm ranting, ipso facto i like K-holes. (But i don't condone, recommend, or encourage others to dive into it if they are prone to being easily panicked by trip experiences.)
I don't know if any of you guys are getting JWH. Its increasing in popularity a LOT lately...
I just did like 30mg I made into a chocolate last night...crazy, crazy night. I was up hallucinating for like 9 hours. Still not down to baseline.
My buddy only got really stoned, but he had about half the dose I did.
Its tough to eyeball it out. Just FYI. Be careful.
After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.
whos tryed that methadrone shit or meow or Mkat or watever the fuck u wanna call it?
i think its pretty fucking cushdy.
The music is what its all about.
I love it just like you love it, thats why your here, im here coz i love to play, you dont come i cant play and i love to play.
did that ketamine with some friends
they both puked 30 minutes in, but the also did opiates earlier in the day.
lost depth perception, some pretty cool shit happened, but when I did another line with my friend, and sat in the dark listening to radiohead Amnesiac and then Led Zeppelin I, crazy closed eyed visuals, awesome time.
anyone ever do jenkem? look it up if u dont kno wat it is..anyone can make it themselves lol. i dunno if i'd want to get fucked up bad enough to try tho
huh? i kno it works i jus dont think id want to trip bad enough to try
oh it works.
go to: soundcloud dot com/righteoussam
Yeah I've heard it but who here has done it!? Why sniff your own shit lmao.
Jenkem is just methane gas,and even if it worked I"d never do it.
There was some guy on Zoklet who did this.
To al 12 year olds on here: huff raid
Treating every day like it's the weekend, this is not how i was raised...

NAEDA has filed comments with the IRS concerning their notice on dual use property. NADEA followed others in the industry who also filed with the IRS including AED and Caterpillar.
What the IRS will do next is anybody's guess. The IRS could initiate an Industry Issue Resolution process to negotiate a safe harbor with the industry, develop guidance through some other route, or drop the issue all together. However, given the fact that the IRS itself proposed to undertake this exercise, we think the latter option is the least likely.

Rams Take Two in ExtrasMarch 29, 2013
Brevard, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados were edged in extra innings in both games of their doubleheader with the Winston-Salem State Rams on Friday afternoon, losing the opener 1-0 in nine innings before dropping game two 8-6 in eight innings.
Game 1: Winston-Salem State 1, Brevard 0
The Rams scored the game's only run on a Nikki Lynch sacrifice fly in the 9th inning of game that saw three total hits.
Jamie Hrobak (L, 6-10) took the tough-luck loss, shutting out the Rams for eight innings before the Winston-Salem took the lead in the 9th. The freshman allowed just two hits and two walks while striking out a pair in the complete-game effort.
Winston-Salem starter Brittany Lane (W, 10-7) kept the Tornados off the board for all nine innings, allowing just one hit while striking out nine.
Game 2: Winston-Salem State 8, Brevard 6
The Tornados rallied for three runs with two outs in the bottom of the 7th to send the game in extras before the Rams scored a pair in the top of the 8th to steal the win.
With BC down 6-3 in the 7th, Alyssa Miller and Brittany Fowler reached on errors to put runners on first and second with one out. Kayla Clemens reached on a fielder's choice that erased Fowler to put runners on the corners with two down.
Miller and Clemens scored on a Brittany Tucker double to bring BC within a run, and Emily Boykin singled to left tie the game and force extra innings.
BC starter Kayla Clemens (L, 4-9) surrendered eight runs (only three were earned) over eight innings while striking out four.
The Tornados resume South Atlantic Conference action on Wednesday as they travel to Wingate for a doubleheader with the Bulldogs beginning at 2 p.m.

CWS Ticket Pricing
Tickets may not be resold for more than face value on the grounds of TD Ameritrade Park, or within a ½ mile radius of the stadium. The Omaha Police Department will be actively enforcing all scalping laws.
Reserved tickets for games 1-4 and finals games 1-3 show a face value of $35.00, $36.00 or $37.00.
Reserved tickets for games 5, 7, 11 & 13 show a face value of $30.00, $31.00 or $32.00.
Reserved tickets for games 6, 8, 9, 10 & 12 show a face value of $33.00, $34.00 or $35.00.
Club seat prices are $70 for games 1-4, $65.00 for games 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12, and $60 for games 5, 7, 11, 13, and 14.
A book of 10 general admission tickets is $85.
General Admission individual tickets purchased at the box office are $11.50. Tickets will be electronically scanned again this year. Once scanned, the ticket is cancelled. The only way to ensure tickets are valid is to purchase them through the TD Ameritrade Park Omaha Box Office (once the College World Series begins), Flash Seats or Ticket Exchange. Click on http://ncaa.com/cwstickets for more details.
Although fans with general admission tickets may enter through Gates 3 or 4 (northeast and southeast entrances), the line for admission will form on 10th Street and will wrap around to the south along the 10th Street sidewalks, into Lot B. Maps are available at the box office.
There will be a limited number of reserved seating tickets available for each game being played that day. Those who wish to purchase tickets will need to assemble near Gate 2 (southwest
corner) at the TD Ameritrade Park Omaha box office.
Starting at 9 a.m., a random drawing will be held every day games are played to determine the order in which fans may line up to purchase reserved seat tickets. The random drawing process is in place to provide the fairest ticket sales process possible to all fans.
By removing the incentive to arrive early, the random drawing saves time for ticket purchasers and significantly decreases the chance for scalpers to be the first in line. Scalpers have historically paid people to arrive hours before a sale in order to ensure a space at the front of the line.
Thirty minutes before tickets go on sale, each person 16 years of age or older will be assigned a number. That number will also be put into a box. A box office member will then randomly draw a number from the box.
The person holding that number becomes the first person in line. The remaining guests will fall in line behind according to their number. For example, if No. 5 is drawn, the person assigned No. 5 becomes the first in line, followed by the persons assigned 6, 7, 8 and so forth.
This continues until the highest number originally handed out is reached. After that, the person assigned No. 1 will join the line, followed by the remaining people in the order of the numbers they are holding with the person having No. 4 becoming the last in line.
Anyone who arrives after the numbers are handed out would join the line behind the last person holding a number.
We recommend that the general public visit the CWS website at www.CWSomaha.com or http://www.ncaa.com/CWS for additional information. You can also contact TD Ameritrade Park Omaha at 402-546-1800 (once the College World Series begins) if you have any questions during the CWS.
Follow @OmahaPolice on Twitter (hashtag #CWS) for College World Series updates. We will also post CWS information on our Omaha Police Department Facebook page, and send SMS notifications through Nixle (register at local.nixle.com/register, and search for Omaha Police Department, or text keyword "opdcws" to 888777 to receive CWS related public safety updates on your mobile device).

An award-winning poet, novelist, journalist, activist, and best-selling author, Robin Morgan has published more than 20 books of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.
Her 1970 anthology Sisterhood Is Powerful has been widely credited with helping to start the contemporary feminist movement, and was cited by the New York Public Library as "One of the 100 most influential Books of the 20th Century."
Recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Prize (Poetry) among other honors, and former Editor-in-Chief of Ms. Magazine, she founded the Sisterhood Is Global Institute, and co-founded (with Jane Fonda and Gloria Steinem) the Women's Media Center. She currently writes and hosts WMC Live with Robin Morgan, a syndicated weekly radio program with a national and international audience in 110 countries around the world.
It all began with Sisterhood Is Powerful—the book that's been called "the primer that started the modern Women's Movement."
Combat the rhetoric of the religious right with Fighting Words—the Little Red (and White and Blue) Book for reclaiming our country.
Her first book of poems sold 30,000 hardcover copies in the first six months—and was quickly termed "the anthem of the women's movement."
"Robin Morgan's riveting novel The Burning Time may be about the Inquisition . . . but it's also frighteningly relevant today." —Jane Fonda
From the first significant public action of contemporary feminism to her time as Editor In Chief at Ms. Magazine and beyond, Robin Morgan has been a major presence in the international Women's Movement for more than 30 years.
A national radio and network television star, beginning at the age of four. A role that made her a household name at age seven. Named "The Ideal American Girl" by the National Federation of Women's Clubs. This was how it began.

The Crystal Entity Layer homepage contains information on obtaining both the official releases of Crystal Entity Layer and the current development version.
Please keep in mind that both types of releases are still Beta. The main difference being that release versions should be well tested and generally stable.
With the development version your mileage may vary. Sometimes it may not compile easily on all platforms, or may not compile at all. There may be features that are only partially implemented and these probably will not be very well documented.
However, the development version will always have all the most recent features and will probably contain features that are not available in the release version.
You will also need Crystal Space in order to use Crystal Entity Layer. Like Crystal Entity Layer this is also available in both official release and development status. For more information on the two of these please see the Crystal Space documentation.
Crystal Entity Layer is available at:
Crystal Space is available at:
Generally a release version of Crystal Entity Layer should be built against the matching release of Crystal Space. Likewise development versions should be build against a development version of Crystal Space from the same date.
Mixing and matching of versions is not guaranteed to work, and in fact quite likely will not.
As Crystal Entity Layer is being actively developed changes are quite often made to the sources on a daily basis.
The latest sources to Crystal Entity Layer may be downloaded from SourceForge's SVN Servers.

'Numminen is a $2.6 million investment. Obviously with his condition, we aren't taking that hit right now. But why did the Sabres decide to keep him at that steep price? Nathan Paetsch proved last season and is proving again this season that he is ready to be a top six defenseman for this team. Andrej Sekera, Mike Weber and Mike Funk are capable substitutes if any of the starters get injured. The Sabres could've used that money to sign a solid free agent forward or keep someone like Dainius Zubrus in Buffalo.'

PHOTO: Lupita Nyong'o Is Gorgeous in First Ad for Lancome
Earlier this year, Hollywood's new "it" girl – Lupita Nyong'o – was named the new face and ambassador of Lancome. This marks the first time that the French cosmetics company has had a woman of color as an ambassador and Lupita was a fantastic pick.
Lupita shared the ad on her Instagram late Tuesday night. In the photo, Lupita poses wearing Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra 24H foundation with her skin looking flawless per usual. While the ad is fresh and stunning, it has a vintage-y beauty feeling to it as well taking us back to the days when photos weren't over edited with Photoshop.
Edited or not, the photo is stunning capturing not only Lupita's beauty but her "it" factor which makes us swoon for her every time she hits the red carpet, magazine cover or even the beach on her day off.

A reader wants to know if her daughter's serial dating habits could negatively affect her long-term chances of happily settling down.
Dear Miriam,
My daughter is in her 20s, and she dates a lot. Whereas some of her friends may go on one date every few weeks, she could easily tell me about five new guys a month. She's smart, pretty and successful, and she seems happy with her social life, so I try not to judge. But I can't help but wonder if all this dating is helping or hurting her prospects of settling down. What do you think?
Side Effects of Serial Dating?
Dear Serial Dating,
I'm sure your daughter's friends are jealous of the volume of new guys she meets, particularly because the biggest complaint I hear from single women is that they keep running into the same men. I hope they have some kind of arrangement where they introduce each other to promising prospects — even if your daughter doesn't click with a particular guy, one of her friends might. Further, I hope your daughter is respectful of the differing dating habits/styles/levels of success out there and recognizes that "serial" isn't the only category worth falling into.
Regardless of how she works things out with her friends, I wonder the context in which she shares these escapades with you. If it's, "Mom, I had another amazing Saturday night at a fantastic new restaurant with a really fun guy," then you'd do well to assume that this is a phase in her life that will eventually pass (probably). In the meantime, she's having a lot of fun.
If she says things like, "Mom, I just went out with the fifth new guy this month, but I don't think I'm going to see any of them again," then her subtext may be, "Why am I meeting so many people but not clicking with any of them?" In that case, you could open a conversation about what kind of guys she's dating versus what kind of guy she actually wants to date for the long term.
If you're the only one in the equation wondering about her prospects of settling down, keep your wondering to yourself. Be there as a sounding board when she requests it. If settling down isn't one of her short-term goals, it's irrelevant whether her habits are helping or hurting her chances. It's especially irrelevant if you think settling down ought to be one of her short-term goals. If she really is enjoying the experience of dating, as it sounds like she is from your description, you're right not to judge. It's actually refreshing to hear about a single woman enjoying being single and making the most of these unencumbered years.
However, since you asked, there are a couple of ways in which I believe serial dating does detract from longer term prospects. When a woman (or a man) goes through a series of one to three date stints with different people, it's possible that she's looking for some magic combination of qualities that may not exist in an actual human. I tend to think this is a symptom of online dating, where you enter your ideal characteristics and wait for matches to pop up. But it's also a symptom of 21st Century expectations of customization, or just plain pickiness.
Also, if a single person is accustomed to having a constant stream of new dates, spending more time on one person can lead to antsiness about what new person s/he might be missing. Finally, resistence to commitment can be related to fear of rejection and all kinds of other pop psychology truisms, but it can also be a symptom of being in your 20s and having a lot of fun.
All that being said, if you think your daughter is being unsafe or that her habits are making her unhappy, you have a parental obligation to step in. If not, just let her enjoy the ride and be there for her along the way.
Be well,

Arcade Fire's giant head stolen after concert
Listen to Arcade Fire on iHeartRadio
Arcade Fire is on the hunt for one band member's head.
The Canadian indie rockers say the giant model of multi-instrumentalist Richard Parry's head is missing after their concert in Bridgeport, Connecticut last week.
The band says they have photos of the theft, but would rather see the culprit return the stage prop than press charges and get the law involved. They even give the thief an out, sarcastically suggesting it was all an innocent mistake and he or she actually meant to leave the venue with their own oversized papier-mache rendition of Richard Parry's head.
Arcade Fire is set to kick off another leg of their "Reflektor" tour later this week with festival stops in Mexico City and South America.

Tornados fall to the Bulldogs on the road, 94-72February 14, 2009
Winn has 28 points and 12 rebounds in loss
Wingate, N.C. - Samantha Winn had another big afternoon, scoring 28 and pulling down 12 rebounds, but five Bulldogs scored in double figures as Wingate completed the season sweep against the Tornados, 94-72.
The Tornados (6-17, 0-12 SAC) were led by Winn, who went 9-17 from the floor and 2-3 from behind the arc. Kelly Hudler had her fourth game of the season in double figures, scoring 11 points in 22 minutes action. Holli Flippo had the first 10 rebound game of her career, corralling four offensive and six defensive rebounds from her guard position.
Wingate's (14-9, 5-7 SAC) five double-digit scorers were led by first-team All-SAC guard Anna Atkinson with 19 points and Gladney Brown with 19. Kurie Washington (16), CC Brooks (13), and Leslie Tucker (11) all were in double figures. Atkinson also dished out a game high nine assists for Wingate.
Both teams were tied after 7:15 minutes of play at 10-10 as Winn had nine of the first 10 points for the Tornados, while Brown kept pace for the Bulldogs with six.
Brevard took their first lead in the game with 11:57 on the clock as Millie Wharton tied the game up at 12 with a layup, then made the free throw after getting fouled by Sarah Rosser to go up by one. However, Wingate came right back with a jumper by Brown to retake the lead.
The teams were tied up again with 9:09 left in the first half at 22 when Amber Roberts went 1-2 from the line after getting fouled by Stacie Rhodes, but Wingate used a 22-8 run started by a pair of free throws by Washington to go up 44-30 with 11 seconds left on the clock. A three-pointer with three seconds left by BC's Hudler cut the deficit back to 11 as the teams went into the locker room.
Winn had 16 points and eight rebounds in the first half for the Tornados, who were held to 27.3 percent (9-33) shooting from the field. Atkinson had 12 points and six assists for the Bulldogs, who forced 14 turnovers in the opening period, while only coughing the ball up four times.
Wingate, on the strength of their 11 point halftime lead, doubled their lead, despite the best efforts of Winn (12 points in the second half) and Anna Schlobohm (eight points) on their way to recording the 94-72 victory.
The Tornados head home on Wednesday, February 18th, for their PinkZone game against Carson-Newman. The Eagles won the first matchup back on January 21st, 99-77. Tip-off for the Tornados-Eagles rematch is set for 6 p.m. Wingate heads to Mars Hill for another conference game against the Lions, also on Wednesday, with game time also at 6 p.m.

1: Delete all isolinux and UNetbootin related files and folders
2: Create a file named usbmarkerfile.txt on the root of your drive
3: Download latest GRUB4DOS and extract it and place the files and folders on the root of your drive
4: Download grubinst and run it http://download.gna.org/grubutil/gru...2008-01-01.zip
5: Disk -> Choose your disk -> Refresh - Whole Disk (MBR) - Install
6: Create a file on the root of your drive named menu.lst (NOT .txt!) which contains this:
If you want persistence, create a partition on the drive called EXACTLY casper-rw and make it ext4. Then add "BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent" to the end of the menu.lst entryCode:title Backtrack 5 R3 X64 Persistent find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /usbmarkerfile.txt kernel /casper/ubnkern text splash vga=791-- nouveau.modeset=0 quit noprompt initrd /casper/ubninit

I'm just gonna do an OTA update. I've got a new laptop and there is no way in hell that I'm going to restore through iTunes. iTunes is a pain in my butt! Every time I do a restore through iTunes I end up losing files. iTunes software seems to be strict and cranky all the time.
I am sure this will be my last update on my iphone5 anyway, so OTA won't hurt.
I will say that from now on I'm not buying a new iPhone until the jailbreak is pending. I sold my iPhone 4 to get the iPhone 5 in October and throughout the last four months I've regretted getting rid of the iPhone 4. I MUCH prefer the jailbroken 4 to the non-JB 5.
I have two iPhone 5's, an iPad Mini, and an iPad Retina in my house all patiently waiting. Best of luck to the evad3ers! Thank you guys for your hard work, and we're in the final stretch, so stay strong! We're all pulling for you!
I'm wondering what will be the name of the jailbreak...will it still be absinthe
Any guess's anyone??
I for one am excited for the jailbreak. It's been quite a while for me. I've been on iOS 6 from beta 1 so I haven't been jailbroken for quite some time.
It's your choice, however we recommend playing it safe.
If you notice in twitter, the @evad3rs is following 4 people. You want to add these 4 to your follow, as this is where you are going to get your info from.
Warning to all T-Mobile iPhone users considering updating from 6.0.2 to 6.1:
Your 3G coverage will be DRASTICALLY diminished!!! I was loving the fact that that my iPhone was FINALLY getting very fast 3G download rates with very good coverage (even faster than friends' 4G speeds). However, after updating via iTunes to 6.1 I noticed that my 3G coveraged sucked!!! I went to see a so-called Genius @ the Apple store (where I purchased the phone) & they did a Deep Firmware Restore... & it's still the same! Anyway, I'm returning this phone & exchanging it for the 6.0.2 version.
Does anyone know if when the 6.1 JailBreak is released if it willl work on 6.0.2???
Thanks~ Joey
I should've done the OTA update but I didn't... I wish I had because I'd like to see if any problems occur w/ it. If so, then that info 'might' be useful to the Devs.

Topic: UPDATE ON HUSBAND
Hi Everyone,
It's been so long since I have posted. Things have been crazy here as I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.
Brief history - husband diagnosed with cc with mets to liver (large mass) and lymph nodes - he's 41 -
We are in Columbus, Ohio and he is in a trial at the James Cancer Hospital at Ohio State U. He is on Xeloda, Taxol and Carboplatin. The first month he did ok until about 5 days into the Xeloda. He left for a golf trip to Pinehurst, NC and ended up in the ER the next day with severe diarrhea, temp. of 102.9 and extremely low white cell count. I drove through the night to get there and he ended up in the hospital there for 11 days. He didn't eat for 5 days. His white cells finally came up after a shot of Nupagen even though the Drs. don't seem real big on that drug.
Anyway, we came back to Ohio and our Dr. here gave him 3 weeks off chemo to get his stomach back to normal. He's supposed to start back up with the chemo tomorrow. They are cutting the Xeloda dose by 50% (he was on about 4,000 mg. a day which I knew was so high) and they are cutting the Taxol and Carboplatin by 25% so hopefully he can tolerate it better this second round.
His stomach still isn't back to normal (bowel habits........) Dr. Saab said his stomach had to be "normal" to start back up so I don't know if they will have him start tomorrow or not. I think that is one of the criteria for being on this trial. You can't be off for more than 3 weeks. We'll see what he says tomorrow I guess.
He's feeling good though, is golfing and doing his normal thing. I'm just trying to get his weight back up with Ensure Plus. He is really trying to eat healthy but it's hard to get his weight up with him doing that now.
We went to Florida last week for the kids spring break (2 kids, 13 and 15) and had a great time.
Just wanted to update everyone and hope everyone is getting good news out there.
Love and prayers to all of you!

SAN BERNARDINO -- As far as classroom disruptions go, this was one few Cal State San Bernardino professors would have objected to.
"Hey, what's going on in here?" called CSUSB president Tomas D. Morales as he burst into classroom 269 at the John M. Pfau Library building on Monday afternoon. Inside, professor Juan Delgado was teaching poetry to more than a dozen students.
Morales was carrying out the annual "ambush" of the instructor named CSUSB's Outstanding Professor for the year.
"Since 1988, he has touched generations of students," Morales told Delgado's students, along with a retinue of dignitaries, including San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris, who had accompanied him on the ambush. "He's a product of CSUSB, he's an alumnus, a poster child. ... Juan, I love you, man. "
A published poet, Delgado formerly served as chair of the school's communication studies and English departments. He has taught 25 different classes in his time at the university and supervised dozens of masters' theses and helped develop the school's Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
He was nominated by students and fellow professors for the honor. The annual ambushes date back to at least the early 1990s and the tenure of former CSUSB president Al Karnig.
"I'm humbled by this. I've been surrounded by good teachers," Delgado said. "You can't not be a good English teacher (here) or they'll kick you out. "
His wife, Jean, also teaches at the university.
"Most of my academic life, I was known as the 'bad Delgado,' and my wife was known as the 'good Delgado,'" he joked. "I've had recognition in other ways, books and awards, but this will always be special to me. "

View More Features and Specifications
The fourth-generation Range Rover retains everything customers loved about the previous model, and Land Rover has improved upon all of it. The result is a massively capable on- or off-road luxury SUV with loads of power, smart handling, extensive use of technology and more creature comforts than you can imagine. It rivals anything produced by Mercedes or Porsche, and in fact now weighs less than either the Cayenne Turbo or GL450, thanks to extensive use of aluminum. The result is the most refined Range Rover yet.
Compare the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover against similar models
For 2016, Land Rover's venerable Range Rover returns few big changes. A new 3.0L diesel engine that both offers 440 lb-feet of torque and 29 mpg on the highway becomes available.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The 2016 Range Rover lineup broadens with a luxurious new SVAutobiography model and a new Range Rover Td6 powered by a new turbodiesel V6 engine.
The 2016 Range Rover is in the fourth year of its generation, with another 40 years before that, enough time to get it right. Not to mention evolve into an SUV costing more than $100,000. We've driven the current Range Rover in Moroccan gale, over the Spanish steppes, and in wretched Atlanta traffic, and it has never failed us.
One beauty of the Range Rover is it hasn't lost its shape. It will hopefully be a box forever. This latest-generation Range Rover is a box with curves and wraparound headlights. A long-wheelbase version stretches the box.
The Range Rover is Land Rover's flagship.
Several engines are available. New for 2016 is the Range Rover Td6 with a turbodiesel 3.0-liter V6 making 440 foot-pounds of torque and 254 horsepower that gets an EPA-estimated 25 miles per gallon Combined city and highway. Land Rover says the Range Rover Td6 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds. Range Rover Td6 offers a range of more than 600 miles and retails for $1,500 more than the standard gasoline V6.
An all-aluminum supercharged V6 comes standard, making 380 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Every Range Rover gets a sharp paddle-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission built by ZF.
A supercharged 5.0-liter V8 making 510 horsepower comes on Range Rover Supercharged models.
The Range Rover rides like a tall sedan, while being renowned for its offroad capability, with up to 12 inches of ground clearance and Land Rover's effortless Terrain Response system, using four modes with sensors dictating traction. Meanwhile it can tow 7700 pounds of horses or boats, even racecars.
Range Rover comes with a choice of 340-hp supercharged 3.0-liter V6 ($84,950) or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 ($86,450), along with leather-trimmed upholstery, automatic tri-zone climate control, navigation. Range Rover HSE upgrades all the seats, is trimmed in full leather, and comes with panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, a choice of a more powerful 380-hp V6 ($91,950) or turbodiesel ($93,450).
Range Rover Supercharged ($103,195) features the 510-hp V8, upgraded Adaptive Dynamics electronic air suspension, and 21-inch wheels. The Supercharged is available in the long-wheelbase version ($108,195). Autobiography models are available with bespoke luxury features. (Prices are MSRP and do not include destination.)
Call the Range Rover's lines streamlined classic, modern box. Windshield ever so slightly swept back, to a roof that appears to float, and a tail that's ever so slightly swept up, with a split tailgate.
Its profile is SUV, while its lines are all clean, no chrome or crap on the sides. You would never mistake it for a Cadillac Escalade.
It's contours are aero, even at the front end, with thin LED headlamps. Thanks to the slim roof pillars finished in black, the roof appears to float.
The front seats are tall and the glass low, so you feel like the king of the road, sitting above them all in luxury and isolation. You'll be surrounded by rich wood, supple leather and elegant metals, not seen since the last time you climbed in your Bentley. There's an amazing number of finishes and colors to choose from: 37 exterior colors, 17 interior colors, and three veneers. Earthtones galore.
The air suspension can be set at a step-in height. Reclining rear seats can be heated, ventilated and massaged, with enough leg room to stretch The long-wheelbase model is like a limousine SUV.
There is no instrument cluster. The driver's view of the high-tech instrument panel is dominated by two large LCD screens, a 12.3-inch screen replacing the cluster, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen in the centerstack for infotainment, whose interface won't win any Apple fans. Fortunately there are steering-wheel thumb controls for some functions, namely audio. Below that touchscreen are manual climate controls.
Lots of SUVs claim they can go anywhere, but Range Rover takes it seriously. It backs up the words with technology. In the olds days it went there on gears and rubber, today it goes more places on microchips.
The standard supercharged 3.0-liter V6 will push the Range Rover to sixty miles per hour in 7.1 seconds, with a slight supercharger whine and lots of low-end thrust from that huge 440 foot-pounds of torque. The aluminum chassis and suspension parts, as well as sandwiched composite body panels, brings the weight down to 4700 pounds. The riveted and bonded construction brings aircraft-like rigidity and strength. The V6 gets an EPA-rated 17/23 mpg City/Highway, or 19 mpg Combined.
Meanwhile the new turbodiesel V6 is only 0.3 slower from 0-60, and gets 25 mpg Combined. In the diesel, you can drive from New York to Los Angeles and only stop for fuel three times. It begins pulling like a train at 1750 rpm and tops out at 3500 rpm, the engine so under-stressed it could take naps. It makes a bit of diesel noise when you hammer it, but it's soundly insulated and otherwise totally quiet inside.
The third engine option is the supercharged 5.0-liter V8. If you want to stand up to your friends' Cadillac XR with its supercharged 6.2-liter Chevy V8, this is your steed. It makes 510 beefy horsepower and hits 60 in just 5.1 seconds. It comes standard with Dynamic Response, with active anti-roll bars to control lean and firm up the cornering. And it still gets 16 miles per gallon Combined, just 3 less than the V6.
The Range Rover was designed to handle like a Bentley Flying Spur or Mercedes S-Class. Advanced suspension with adaptive dampers and air springs, front control arms and rear multi links, variable-ratio electric power steering, help it feel smooth and languid, even without the tautness of Dynamic Response. Remarkably, the LWB model with seven inches more wheelbase, feels as responsive to us as the regular wheelbase.
The four-wheel drive is full time, with a 50/50 split. It's the highest technology among all luxury SUVs, using the Terrain Response system. Low range will go to a fast 37 mph, enabling the Rover to climb monstrous grades. There's more than 10 inches of wheel travel in front, and more than 12 inches in rear. With a ground clearance of 12.2 inches, it can drive through 35 inches of water. You see lots of Range Rovers in Australia, where floodways often flow 35 inches of water across the outback highways.
Terrain Response uses sensors to set the traction control, stability control, steering, suspension, and locking differential. The modes are General, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts, Sand, and Rock Crawl (with Heavy Duty package). The anti-roll bars can be disabled during offroad maneuvers like crossing over boulders, or other times when the demand for wheel articulation is extreme.
If you want your garage to be the home of the best British SUV made, buy the Range Rover with the V6 turbodiesel engine.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Video: Alpine V-Power car amplifiers
Digital design allows them to be so small
Zak Billmeier grew up in southern Vermont and coastal Maine. After graduating from Mary Washington College with a Geography degree he still isn't sure quite what to do with, he eventually settled in the mountains of Central Virginia. He spends his free time chasing his daughter around, taking pictures, gardening and cooking. He joined Crutchfield's car A/V writing team in 2007 and is now a lead producer on our video team.
More from Zak Billmeier
Alpine made their V-Power amps 40% smaller for 2013, so they'll fit in more places than ever. Plus they employ some smart technology called Enhanced Shutdown Performance, which rolls back the output a bit when the amp threatens to overheat from playing at its limits too long. Instead of shutting down completely, it continues playing your music, until it cools enough to return to full power.
Video Transcript
Zak: I'm at the Alpine booth at CES 2013 and Steve, tell us about the new V-Power amps.
Steve: Well, V-Power has always been a very successful amplifier line for Alpine. As a matter of fact, the monoblock V-Power that's currently available has been the best-selling amp in the United States for the last three years running. So we're very proud of that, and we wanted to follow that up with a brand new V-Power line that really takes advantage of some of the newer digital amp technology that we've developed over the last five or six years.
So the new V-Power line is completely digital, and that offers many advantages. First of all, the amplifiers are much smaller. They're about 40% smaller than the previous generation. It also means they waste less heat, and they waste less power from the battery. So it's a much more efficient solution for the car. So we're offering the same power level in a 40% smaller chassis, with the same price.
And we've offered a lot more of the advanced features that we've offered in PDX and MRX amplifiers over the last couple of years — things like the ability to control the subwoofer level through the RUX knob, the ability to have speaker-level input so that the customer can hook it to their factory system without having to add an aftermarket head unit, and also the ability to easily connect to big gauge, high-quality wiring. So the brand new MRV line is going to be available in February of 2013.
Zak: Great. Thank you Steve.

Jaspers Pick up First Win of 2012 Season
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - Freshman attacker Matt Thistle scored a career high three goals as the Manhattan men's lacrosse picked up their first win of the year, 11-9, over Providence at Gaelic Park on Saturday afternoon. Thistle added two assists to his stellar game while Brian McGrath also tallied a hat trick in the victory.
Manhattan (1-2) jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the first quarter. Thistle scored two goals in the period, which were sandwiched around an Andrew Barton tally, before Brendan Rogers and McGrath pushed the advantage to three.
The Friars would then score two quick goals in the second, making the score 4-3 Jaspers with 9:10 to play in the frame. Tyler Jarvis attempted to stop the momentum with his goal at 5:31, but back-to-back scores by Niall Cahill and Paul Carafello knotted thins up at five a piece.
McGrath made sure that his team would go into the break with the lead when he took a pass from Thistle and ripped a shot past Providence keeper Christian Dzwilewski with a little more than two minutes until halftime, giving the Jaspers a 6-5 advantage.
One minute into the third quarter, Kevin Cox recorded the first goal of collegiate career to push Manhattan ahead by two. The two squads would trade tallies in the period, making the Jaspers lead 8-6 heading into the final 15 minutes.

Eight different Friars scored in the game with Barton notching two goals to lead their scorers. Meanwhile, Manhatan had five different goal scorers with Thistle, Jarvis, McGrath, and Rogers each giving multi-goal efforts. Rogers also registered four assists in the game as he had a game high six points to go along with four ground balls.

Kip Moore explains his unique living situation
Listen to Kip Moore on iHeartRadio
Kip Moore might have a couple of top ten hits to his credit, but that doesn't mean he has a home. But the country singer says he's satisfied with his current living situation.
Moore adds that he only gets to take hot showers when he's on tour, because the facilities in the studio only have cold water. He admits that it "might sound crazy," but he likes the set-up because it's helping him keep his "edge."
Kip explains that it prevents him from "getting comfortable," and enables him to remain focused on writing for his next album. Moore is working on the follow up to his 2012 debut, Up All Night, which features the chart-topper "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck" and the top ten hit "Beer Money" as well as his current single "Hey Pretty Girl."

Financial aid applicants must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens who are making satisfactory academic progress toward their degree. Eligibility for different categories of aid is based on financial need as determined by the financial aid system developed by the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Department of Education (ED). To receive Perkins, Direct Stafford and Direct Grad-PLUS Loans or a Hastings Grant, applicants cannot be in default on a student loan or owe a repayment. Campus-based aid (grants, Perkins Loans, O'Neill Loans, and UCH Scholarships), is available only for the first six semesters of enrollment. Similarly, campus-based eligibility extends for a maximum of six semesters only.
A financial aid package contains a combination of different types of aid. The first step in determining a student's financial aid package is through the process of need analysis. There are two levels used in need analysis. The first is conducted by the federal government to determine eligibility for its programs. The second is used by Hastings College to determine how to distribute its own institutional aid.
The process of need analysis determines how much students are expected to contribute from their own resources ("expected family contribution," or EFC) and how much aid students are eligible to receive. Financial need analysis considers the student's income and assets and the size of the household (whether the student is married or has dependents).
The total amount of aid a student qualifies for cannot be higher than the total Cost of Education for an institution. This figure includes tuition, fees, room and board, and other living expenses. The amount of need-based financial aid a student qualifies for is determined by subtracting expected family contribution from the Cost of Education.
The biggest share of a student aid package is loans and the largest loan will be the Federal Graduate PLUS loan. Please note that eligibility to receive this loan requires good credit. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you get a copy of your credit report and resolve any negative issues right away. You may access a free credit report online at AnnualCreditReport.com.
