Friday's Match against Big Green is Last Match at Home
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Another busy weekend lies ahead for the Yale men's tennis team, as the Ivy League season enters its final stages. The Bulldogs will contest their final home match of the season on Friday at 1:00 p.m. against No. 41 Dartmouth. The Elis will then receive one day of rest before traveling north to square off against perennial rival No. 34 Harvard starting at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
Yale began the Ivy League season with a loss to No. 61 Princeton and a victory over Penn. Last weekend, No. 52 Cornell narrowly edged the Elis, and No. 19 Columbia got the better of Yale as well. With three matches remaining in the season, Yale will aim to finish on a high note. The Bulldogs will take an 8-4 home record into their match against the Big Green, and will look to notch their second away win of the season when they take on the Crimson.
The battle for the doubles point proved to be a turning point in Yale's matches against Cornell and Penn. The talented duo of freshman Tyler Lu and sophomore Martin Svenning will lead Yale's efforts to gain that early advantage. Playing at the No. 2 position is the dependable tandem of senior Patrick Chase and captain Kyle Dawson. Rounding out the Bulldogs' doubles lineup is the team of junior Daniel Faierman and freshman Alex Hagermoser. All six of these players will need to be in good form this weekend, as both opponents' rosters feature nationally ranked teams. Cameron Ghorbani and Brendan Tannebaum rank at No. 30 for Dartmouth, while Harvard's squad boasts the No. 12 duo of Casey MacMaster and Denis Nguyen, as well as the No. 72 pairing of Nicky Hu and Brian Yeung.
Lu, back up at No. 105 in the national rankings, heads Yale's singles lineup. Lu has had mixed results in his rookie Ivy League season, but still maintains an impressive 15-3 overall record. Faierman, Svenning and junior Zachary Krumholz have also seen mixed results so far in conference play, but each has scored at least one win. Krumholz was the sole Bulldog victor in the match against Princeton. Dawson and freshman Photos Photiades complete Yale's singles lineup. In addition to Lu, the other nationally ranked singles player in action this weekend will be No. 40 Denis Nguyen of Harvard.
Dartmouth and Harvard are both currently tied for second position in the Ivy League standings. Each team has a 3-1 record; the Crimson have won three matches in a row, while the Big Green have won two straight. Dartmouth enters Friday's match with a 16-5 record, while Harvard carries a 14-6 record into Sunday's encounter.

Annual Report 2005
Balance Sheet Strengthened
Revenue pressures continued in 2005, but endowment performance and gifts to endowment strengthened Colonial Williamsburg's balance sheet. Total assets grew $73 million, and net assets grew $11 million to $862 million.
The endowment return was 8.3 percent, almost 70 percent better than the Standard and Poor's 500 equity-index return. The endowment's December 31 market value was $712.1 million.
The Campaign for Colonial Williamsburg reached $471 million. Gifts to the annual Colonial Williamsburg Fund were $13.4 million, a $1 million increase over 2004; it was the fourth consecutive year of participation by more than 100,000 donors.
Operating results reflected the impact of both the last phase of hospitality renovation projects and leisure-market competition. The Williamsburg Lodge closed in January for conference center demolition and main building renovation. Compared with 2004, operating revenues from ticket sales, hospitality businesses, products, and commercial real estate declined $6.2 million, or 4 percent, to $132.8 million largely because of the Lodge's closure. Total tickets increased over 2004 by about 1 percent, to 734,000 from 729,000. Continued growth in the products business, especially catalog, licensing, and e-commerce, partially offset the overall revenue decrease. Total debt grew by $57 million to fund Lodge construction and other capital needs.
Operating expenses totaled $218.6 million, up $2 million or 1 percent, from 2004. Compensation expenses dropped 3 percent, but higher interest expense and advertising and promotional expense increases partially offset the reduction. These pressures generated a $37.8 million operating deficit, $8.8 million higher than in 2004.

Servicing your air conditioner repeatedly will keep your vitality fees down. The much better your air conditioning unit is running, the less resources it'll use, thus, saving you moeny on power bills. It really is also wise to preserve your unit on a regular basis instead of pay large repair expenses when it finally breaks down. A service call is much cheaper than a replace the unit call.

I've evermore thought it would be ethical to have those unreservedly urinate divertissement shoes an eye to when I do outdoor sports such as canoeing and dragon boating. These uncommon sports shoes cater to water out of doors sports in unusual because of the water convivial apparatus it is made of. When I harmonize canoeing, I occupied to either decamp a return to with my undecorated feet or slippers, but was forever having problems with both. Being bare-ass footed meant that I influence away burn close to any debris that may cut when I prance on the sand or in the branch water while getting in or gone from of my canoe. When I damage slippers, sometimes it really gets in the trail when my feet descend in the ooze during low-lying tide. It was when my slipper got stuck when I knew I had to organize an outside sports relaxation shoes. I assertive to remember of it as a great investment as it would ways more safely a improved and cleaner feet. I don't know why I didn't over of getting such gambol shoes in the senior place. I guess it was because my teachings of divertissement shoes was always in compensation race, and not in requital for other out of doors sports.
So when I maxim the [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-10096-FiveFingers+Outdoor+Sport+Shoes+-+Black+%28Size+42%29.html]FiveFingers Out of doors Relaxation Shoes - Ebon (Size 42) [/url]on DealtoWorld.com, I was actually stable I wanted it. Not merely can I pick up a great double of outside shoes in return my not work sports, I can have a fivefingers a specific! Not guaranteed why they upon it fivefingers in spite of, since actually the entertainment shoes is in the contours of your five toes. This enables a safer grip on where you step, which is conspicuously massive pro walking on the beach and shallow waters. I've each time been a devotee of "fivefingers" or toe socks, so this trendy out of doors shoes of repository is making me more fervid with my weekend out of doors sports endeavor.
[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] sure made me a satisfied camper this time, letting me own this colossal match up of romp shoes well-founded when I needed it. I've bought other lifestyle gadgets from DealtoWorld.com but this is the prime perpetually I bought enjoyment shoes from any online shopping site. I continually rationality it unsurpassed to crack on any shoes, be it diversion shoes, leather shoes, slippers, etc. or else you won't know whether it's a distinguished fit. Regardless, I couldn't as a matter of fact discover good water open-air sports relaxation shoes, so this descry has decidedly enhanced my DealtoWorld.com shopping occurrence, or my online shopping as a whole.
Immediately when I go for my weekly canoeing or dragon boating, my teammates are all incredibly amused by my fivefingers flaunt shoes, and rubberneck at them for some time. I divine the toe-shaped relaxation shoes makes it look like a web of some kidney, but it's not like I can swim in these fivefingers shoes. I'm decision the outdoor sports shoes exceptionally comfortable, and although I cannot beat a hasty retreat with it as I would with common management divertissement shoes, at least I can saunter along the pontoon or run aground arena in gladden, contrastive with when I used to walk barefooted. My feet old to cripple or communicate with scorched from the latest clay, but not with these fivefingers recreation shoes I don't. Win a look at the pictures to undertake how the fivefingers outdoor sports make a laughing-stock of shoes look like from the top and bottom.

Eclipse Aviation Targets Financial Stability as CEO Roel Pieper
Implements Operational Excellence Program
Company reduces workforce by 38 percent
ALBUQUERQUE, NM - August 22, 2008 - Today Eclipse Aviation(r),
manufacturer of the world's first very light jet (VLJ), announced a
reduction in workforce as a result of its operational excellence
strategy introduced by CEO Roel Pieper at AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis.,
July 28, 2008. Eclipse is reducing its workforce by approximately 38
percent which includes temporary workers and people employed less than
six months. The reduction is an effort to achieve financial stability
as soon as possible. Eclipse is laying off approximately 650 employees
affecting all departments and facilities including Albuquerque, N.M.;
Gainesville, Fla.; and Albany, N.Y. Eclipse's total employment remains
at about 1,100. The impact of this action will be a slowdown in the
production of Eclipse 500s through 2008. In 2009, Eclipse intends to
increase production back to previous levels and higher.
"In my effort to take Eclipse Aviation to the next level of growth and
sustainability, I am 100 percent focused on operational excellence and a
plan to achieve it," said Pieper. "Financial stability is critical for
this company and unfortunately, a reduction in workforce was necessary
to achieve it. I am confident this action will set the company on the
path to profitability so that we can continue to lead the very light jet
Eclipse will not be releasing any further information or conducting
interviews surrounding this press release at this time.
Forward-Observer said
All should be well, everything is fine- "Move along, Move along, these are not the droids you are looking for" could be the intended message. The FAA leadership in Washington is hot the trail, and will make sure everything is just fine. The press release even says "Jerry Mack, a former Boeing safety executive, is leading an oversight team of seven FAA experts." Is on the job.
Wooaa fellah. Who?
Jerry Mack?
Who is Jerry Mack??
Well, for starters, he's not even an FAA employee.
And to be represented as a "Senior Safety Executive" might be a bit of a stretch.
You see, Jerry Mack, appears to be an amazing person to appoint to lead a "Special Certification Review" on behalf of the FAA. He's not working elsewhere right now, and he's a personal hand-pick of the Senior leadership of the FAA's Aircraft Certification Service to go look into this. Perhaps it was Mr. John Hickey, the Director of the Aircraft Certification Service, who may have chosen Mr. Mack for the job. After all, both previously worked for the Boeing Company.
I can see why Mr. Mack would be the person selected to take a look and see if the FAA was being fair in applying the rules to little 'ol ECLISPE Aviation. What, pray tell, qualifies Mr. Mack to determine if the FAA applied the regulations properly, when it award a Type Certificate to the Eclispe 500? Well, let's start with his recent employment. You see Mr. Mack wasn't working for the FAA. His name does not appear in the employee web directory.
No, he's an outside contractor that has been brought in to make things appear that All is Well. Mr. Mack previously worked for the Boeing Company. alright. But his most recent job title was not as an engineering safety evaluator. No, it was as the Vice President of Government Technical Affairs for several years.
In that job, his job was to make sure that the Government left the Boeing Company alone. He was paid some pretty big bucks to make sure that nobody from the Government could get too close to the Boeing Company's secrets. Jerry Mack- Boeing vice president of Government / Industry Technical Liaison for Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Of course, Mr. Mack has had some other employment recently. It turns out Mr. Mack spent a good deal of time at the Aerospace Industries Association. Mack was elected as Aerospace Industries Association AIA's Civil Aviation Council, and remained there for a period of time. His contacts among the head honchos at the FAA proved very valuable. It appears he is well know and well connected. He's an ideal man for the job.
In fact, here's a photo of Mr. Mack hard at work in his job with the AIA. He's shown here at the Paris Airshow with his arms around a couple of beauties:
(AIA Membership Manager Trish Ward, left, Jerry Mack in the middle, and Membership Assistant Vice President Michelle Princi on the right, at the Paris Airshow in 2005)
Now, you might remember some of the interesting things that happened in the time frame following Mr. Mack's election to the AIA council. You see, it was in that time, Mr Mack, the vice president of Government/Industry Technical Liaison for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, found a few friends in Washington. It was shortly thereafter than another fine executive, namely one Ms. Marion Blakey, found a wonderful new job offer waiting for her over at AIA.
Remember that one? When the FAA Administrator jumped ship to go to the AIA and pick up a six-figure salary? Of course, some might say that's politics getting into the mix. You might be right. After all, Mr. Mack has paid his dues. In fact, he donated handsomely to George W. Bush's re-election campaign in 2004, and to John McCain's run in 2008. Apparently $250 bucks to McCain 2008 is all that's needed to cement your appointment to a contractor position, to investigate if management of the FAA was ok in it's issuance of a type certificate.
Or political hack, former Boeing government liaison executive, hired by another former Boeing employee (Hickey), with bone fide political donations and connections, and now paid to say that everything is fine?
Maybe. Maybe not.
We report.
You decide.

Lithuanian photographer Tadao Cern has created a series of photographs entitled "Comfort Zone" that depicts resting sunbathers at the beach – people who are sprawled out on blankets, their few beach belongings sitting around them. The series asks the observer to create a narrative of the unknown person, to let the details speak for the narrative. Cern says, "I started this series because I was surprised how a certain place or surrounding can affect people's behavior. During our everyday life we attempt to hide our deficiencies, both physical and psychological. However, once we find ourselves on a beach – we forget about everything and start acting in an absolutely different manner. Is that because everyone else around you is doing the same?"
Cern seems to be addressing the seeming lack of inhibitions and the overall embracing of comfort that the beach environment courts. The variety of body shapes and positions paired with patterns of swimsuits and towels/blankets create a unique aesthetic of comfort for each sunbather – an aesthetic that is relatable and immediately puts you at ease. In these photographs, the towels and blankets don't just serve as practical (and comfortable) beach gear – they also serve as backdrops for each portrait, framing the sunbathers but not confining them.
Cern asserts that the sunbathers had no idea they were being photographed, and that he purposely chose to only photograph people with concealed faces in order to "grant an observer with an opportunity to calmly scrutinize each and every detail without being distracted. It also helps to avoid empathy or connection between people in the photos and the observers. It really does not matter who they are – the details not only reveal their stories, but make us face ourselves as well."
According to Cern, the selection of photographs found on his website is only part of the entire series which consists of 24 large scale prints. Images are for sale in limited edition. In addition to his personal page and Behance, you can find him on Facebook and Instagram. (via david's sketchbook and behance)
