DURHAM, N.C. – Duke's Henrique Cunha and Raphael Hemmeler have been selected as the 2013 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) National Doubles Team of the Year, as announced by the organization Wednesday. Cunha and Hemmeler become the second Blue Devil pair to win the award in the past four years, as Cunha and Reid Carleton were selected at the conclusion of the 2010 campaign.
The dynamic duo of Cunha and Hemmeler earned 39 victories throughout the season, which ranks the duo second all-time in program history for most wins by a doubles tandem. The pair completed the season as the top-ranked tandem and advanced to the semifinals of the NCAA doubles championship in their first season playing together.
Throughout the dual season, Cunha and Hemmeler tallied a 24-4 record from the No. 1 position and an undefeated 9-0 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) competition. Against ranked competition, Cunha and Hemmeler were 24-3, including 11 victories against opponents ranked in the top-20.
Cunha and Hemmeler enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in the fall, as the duo played to a 12-1 ledger. The pair was able to capture three doubles titles throughout the fall campaign, including the blue draw at the Duke Fab Four Invite, the ITA Carolina Regional and the USTA/ITA National Indoor Championship. The title at the USTA/ITA National Indoors Championship was the second in Duke men's tennis history, as Ludovic Walter and Jason Zimmerman won the doubles draw in 2003
Cunha wins the award for the second time in his illustrious career and leaves Duke as the record holder in singles (151) and doubles (147) victories. He is just the fourth player in program history to win 100 matches in singles and doubles.

Now that Christmas is over, I have a new seasonal tune stuck in my head. Maybe it wasn't intended as a holiday song, but it's one I often find myself humming around the end of December and start of January: "Nothing Was Delivered," an obscure Bob Dylan track from 1967 whose chorus opines, "Nothing is better, nothing is best / Take care of yourself, get plenty of rest."
It's a song that gives me strength as a recovering list addict. I have so far steered clear of whiskey, heroin, gambling and other vices, but for a long stretch of years beginning around high school and ending some time in my mid-20s, I had an insatiable inclination to list things in order of preference — movies, songs, right-handed starting pitchers and just about anything else quantifiable.
Every year in college, as a ritual, my critical-minded friends and I would trade our annual best-of lists: Ten best movies of the year! Ten worst songs of the year!
While others fretted about Western civilization ending with Y2K, we fretted about whether Lucinda Williams should outpace Gillian Welch on our best-albums-of-the-decade rankings.
I'm better now, of course. (That "Nothing Was Delivered" chorus may have helped; in fact, at the time I stopped making lists, it was my 37th favorite Dylan tune and steadily gaining on "Mr. Tambourine Man" at No. 36.) But just as alcoholics can suffer a relapse during the holidays amid all the wine and merriment, list addicts can find those old temptations nagging them again.
Day after day, left and right, we're bombarded in December with lists from different publications trying to condense the year into five or 10 definitive slots. The New Yorker recently got into the spirit irreverently when it posted a list of "The Hundred Best Lists of All Time," which included Schindler's list (No. 13), the Apollo 11 surface checklist (25) and the National Register of Historic Places (66), with an option to choose Generations of Adam from the Book of Genesis or the Periodic Table of Elements for the top spot, depending on which state you live in.
With so many numerals out there, I found myself the other day toying with my own best-movies list of the year. No. 1? Let's say "Lincoln" — as a prestige picture, it looks more in its element there than "Wreck-It Ralph." But that one has to be somewhere on the list; how about if we slot it at No. 10 as a novelty, then fill in Nos. 2 through 9 later? "Argo"? In the top five, sure. How about the 10 worst? I saw too few bad movies last year; let's make it three instead.
If you've seen the movie "High Fidelity," whose protagonist doggedly creates "top five" lists to cover everything from favorite songs to his own failed romances, you may realize that there's a bit of a power game in that activity. When we create lists, we assign things and determine their rightful place; we program things that aren't meant to compete with each other into a competition and declare the winner. And we have that brazen voice at the back of our head declaring that our list — and not, say, Kenneth Turan's or Robert Christgau's — is the one that got it right.
But that's assuming that any critical list gets anything right at all, and I'm convinced, after so many enlightening years, that it never does. So, just for old time's sake, here's a list of the Top Three Reasons Why I Despise Best-of Lists:
1. They're entirely subjective. If two runners finish first and second in a race, what does that mean? It means one of them ran faster than the other. But if "Ulysses" edges out "The Great Gatsby" for the best novel of the century, what's the margin of victory? Slightly more plot? More social significance? Or how about the difference between 77 and 78 on a top-100 list? Do we have a mathematical formula, as Rolling Stone no doubt does, to determine whether Jimi Hendrix's guitar solo on "Purple Haze" is 1/100 better than John Fogerty's on "Bad Moon Rising"?
2. They create broad categories for wildly dissimilar things. The Golden Globes, at least, has the good sense to divide its best-film categories into comedy and drama (although the former gets paired with musicals, which means "Les Miserables" has a shot at technically being named the best comedy of 2012). But throw together any list of acclaimed films, songs and the like, and you'll find that some simply can't be clustered with others.
The ultimate case in point: In 1999, Entertainment Weekly compiled a cover-story list of the 100 Greatest Moments in Television. No. 1 was John F. Kennedy's assassination and funeral. Finishing narrowly in second place? Mary Tyler Moore tossing her hat in the air in the opening credits of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," which placed six spots ahead of Neil Armstrong landing on the moon.
3. They get in the way of pure enjoyment. Over the years, I've spoken to several people who watched "Citizen Kane" or listened to the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and came away disappointed. Perhaps it was a matter of taste — but perhaps it was also because they've been officially anointed for years as the No. 1 Movie and No. 1 Album of All Time.
When we give works of art a mathematical reputation to live up to, they're bound to underwhelm. Leaving those digits off can let us appreciate the qualities — candor, experimentation, pure anarchic fun — that caused people to fall in love with them before they got mounted on a pedestal.
Looking back at that list, I think the third item may be most important (and in that case, I'm proud of myself for randomly slotting it third). Art, as John Keats implied, is about truth and beauty, and both of those things can reveal themselves unpredictably. Can we always explain what makes us fixate on a painting? Do songs ever grab us the 70th time more than they did the first? There's no applying a number to those things.
And besides, when we consider — oh, the heck with academic reasoning. The bottom line is, no movie released in 2012 could possibly be more wonderful than "Wreck-It Ralph." And I refuse to honor any top-10 list that puts it in a corner.

Astronauts make good progress on space station repairs
NASA astronauts performed the first of a series of urgent repair spacewalks Saturday to revive a crippled cooling line at the International Space Station. VPC
Second spacewalk won't occur on Christmas as planned due to problems with astronaut's spacesuit.
A NASA spacewalker overcame a literal case of cold feet Saturday to breeze through the start of repairs to a critical International Space Station cooling system.
Rick Mastracchio removed a faulty coolant pump far ahead of schedule, potentially enabling him and partner Mike Hopkins to install a spare on a second spacewalk – now planned Tuesday – and not have to go outside a third time.
STORY: Astronauts set to tackle cooling system repair
But given the opportunity to get further ahead Saturday, Mastracchio said he'd prefer to "call it a day" on his seventh career spacewalk.
He had earlier reported feeling "very, very cold," first in his fingers and then his toes, which he could barely move with his feet fastened to the end of the station's 58-foot robotic arm.
"Because I'm just floating here on the arm, I've got very, very good air flow in my boots, but my toes are quite cold," he said.
Mastracchio turned on spacesuit heaters, but apparently needed to return inside the station to thaw out.
He plans to switch to a different spacesuit for the next excursion, which had been planned Monday but will take an extra day to get ready.
Despite ending an hour earlier than planned, Saturday's five-hour, 28-minute spacewalk accomplished more than expected.
Masstracchio and Hopkins, who was on his first spacewalk, successfully slid a refrigerator-sized pump module from a station girder and stowed it away.
Timelines had called for preparing the 780-pound box for removal but completing that work on a second spacewwalk.
"Early Christmas," astronaut Doug Wheelock radioed from Houston after Mastracchio released a last bolt.
A valve inside the pump module failed on Dec. 11, limiting its ability to regulate temperatures in one of the two external coolant loops that dissipate heat generated by station systems.
Non-essential systems were shut down in the U.S. portion of the complex, putting science research on hold and leaving the station more vulnerable to a failure of the second loop.
NASA delayed the launch of a resupply mission and scheduled up to three spacewalks to replace the pump module with the bad valve.
Mastracchio got things off to a fast start, accomplishing with surprising ease what was expected to be the day's toughest task.
He benefited from lessons learned in 2010 when Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson struggled to disconnect the pump module's four coolant hoses and dealt with leaks of ammonia.
This time, only a few ammonia snowflakes squirted out, causing no concern that contaminated spacesuits could track the highly toxic substance back inside the station and endanger the six-person crew, which also includes three Russian cosmonauts and a Japanese astronaut.
Other than Mastracchio's frosty feet, Saturday's spacewalk fared much better than the previous one in U.S. spacesuits from a safety standpoint.
Neither astronaut reported any water leaking into their helmets, a problem that threatened to drown Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano in July.
Mastracchio and Hopkins set out with new absorbent pads in their helmets and "snorkels" they could breathe through as a last resort, and they periodically paused to check for signs of "squishiness."
The day included moments of holiday-inspired humor, like when Mastracchio caught a small O-ring before it floated away.
"Don't let that go," said Wheelock. "It's a stocking stuffer."
"Don't tell my wife," replied Mastracchio, who stuffed the part into a trash bag to prevent it from becoming orbital debris.
It remains to be seen if the spacewalkers need a third spacewalk to complete their repairs. They might not, if the new pump goes in as easily on Tuesday as the old one came out Saturday.
That would be ideal, because two cosmonauts are already preparing to conduct another, unrelated spacewalk late this week.
Saturday's spacewalk was the 175th supporting assembly and maintenance of the 15-year-old station, which has been inhabited continuously since 2000.

Talisker reiterates: no development along SkiLink route
One of the concerns of the opponents to SkiLink, the proposed Canyons Resort-to-Solitude Mountain Resort gondola, is the connection could spur development along the route.
The land is now undeveloped and under the ownership of the United States Forest Service. If it is sold to Talisker Corp.-controlled Canyons Resort, the opponents worry, it would be opened to development beyond SkiLink itself.
But in an interview after a recent forum about SkiLink held in the Snyderville Basin, one of the key figures on the Talisker Corp.-Canyons Resort side said there are no intentions to develop real estate along the route. Talisker Corp. has been an aggressive developer since its entry into the Park City market in the past decade, with projects including parts of Empire Pass in Deer Valley.
Mike Goar, who is the managing director of Canyons Resort and the person who has publicly represented Talisker Corp. in the SkiLink discussions, said in an interview the Forest Service land that is desired for SkiLink will not be built upon beyond what is needed for the gondola.
"We're committed to not having any development along that Forest Service parcel," Goar said, adding, "No residential, no commercial, no ski infrastructure beyond the lift towers."
Goar mentioned Talisker Corp.'s disinterest in development along the route during the recent forum, but the SkiLink side did not dwell on the topic as it faced a large crowd of critics of the link.
Goar said the proposed SkiLink corridor will not be wide enough for development and he said it does not involve enough land for some sort of residential or commercial project. He also said the closest privately held land along SkiLink is not contiguous to the route.
He said, however, there is the potential for further development on the Canyons Resort side terminal of SkiLink. That land is not under the control of the Forest Service and is within the existing Colony development, he said.
Talisker Corp. and Solitude Mountain Resort face widespread opposition to SkiLink in the Park City area and along the Wasatch Front. The critics have outlined a series of concerns, including the impact on the backcountry and the potential effects on the Salt Lake Valley's watershed.
The SkiLink side, though, contends that the connection will reduce traffic between the Park City area and the resorts in Big Cottonwood Canyon as well as boosting the tourism industry. The backers say SkiLink will be an economic boon for the state's skiing industry and lead to the creation of jobs.
SkiLink hinges on the decision of the federal government regarding the Forest Service land, and it is not clear when the final votes will be cast. It has the support of Utah's largely Republican congressional delegation.
Goar said there are options for the SkiLink land that would allow the connection to proceed, including an outright purchase of the acreage or a long-term lease. Dollar figures attached to either of the options have not been publicized.
Goar said if Talisker Corp. eventually purchases the land outright, the firm would consider protecting the parcel through some sort of conservation method. He said something known as a conservation easement could be placed on the land.
Under a conservation easement, the acreage remains with the landholder, but the owner agrees it will not be developed. A third party like a land bank typically enforces a conservation easement. Large tracts of protected land in Park City and surrounding Summit County are under conservation easement restrictions.
Resort Center at PCMR braces for base area project
A figure at the Resort Center at Park City Mountain Resort said it is critical that pedestrian flow does not change when the PCMR parking lots are developed.

My mother used to describe her grandmother's strudel as being so big and so thick that she rolled it on a huge linen tablecloth. In this strudel, I paste 12 sheets of filo dough together to make a 30 inch square of dough to fill and roll. Unlike my great-grandmother, I use olive oil instead of melted butter to paint the strudel leaves. I particularly like The Fillo Factory's organic filo; they also make filo of spelt and whole wheat. You'll need a pastry brush for painting the sheets of dough with oil
Don't be daunted by this recipe — it's really pretty easy. Just remember to thaw the frozen filo overnight in the refrigerator, then bring it to room temperature, still in the box, for an hour or two.–Deborah Krasner
LC Unlikely Leftovers Note
The serving suggestion on this impressive dessert is a crowd-pleasing 12 to 14, but you may find this number reduces as everyone at the table clamors for just a smidgen more. However, in the unlikely event that you do have leftovers, the author Deborah Krasener has advice for you: "Leftover strudel can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated. Before serving, bake it, uncovered, at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes to recrisp the pastry."
Apple-Cherry Cardamom Strudel
- Quick Glance
- Serves 12 to 14
- For the filling
- 1/2 cup dried sour cherries
- 2 tablespoons kirschwasser (cherry-flavored liqueur) or dark rum
- 3 pounds cooking apples (such as Cortlands), washed, cored, peeled, and quartered
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange or lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 cup almond meal or unflavored bread crumbs
- 3 teaspoons grated orange zest
- For the pastry
- 12 sheets filo (phyllo) dough, defrosted and covered according to the manufacturer's directions
- 1/2 cup delicate and mild olive oil
- 1 cup almond meal
- Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
- 1. Soak the dried cherries in the kirschwasser for 20 to 30 minutes. If the cherries are very dry, combine them in a small saucepan and heat the two together before setting aside to soak.
- 2. Using a food processor or a hand grater, shred the apple with the orange juice to prevent browning. Mix in the sugar, salt, cardamom, almond meal, and orange zest. Drain the cherries and add them to the apple mixture. Set aside while you assemble the pastry. (Do not prepare the apple mixture ahead of time; if it sits too long, it will get too watery. If that happens, drain the apple quarters and place them in a bowl. Immediately sprinkle mixture in a colander before using it).
- 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a cookie sheet, and line it with greased parchment paper if desired.
- 4. Lay a large sheet of parchment paper or cloth on a large work surface, such as a kitchen island or table, to cover an area 30 x 30 inches in size. Take out the first sheet of filo from the package; reroll the rest and keep the dough covered with a tea towel, waxed paper, or plastic wrap. Lay the first sheet of dough with the long edge facing you. Using a pastry brush, paint the whole sheet with olive oil. Lay the second sheet of filo next to the first sheet, again with the long edge facing you, with a 2-inch overlap on the short edges. Paint this sheet with oil. Now you have a long skinny rectangle.
- 5. Repeat with the next two sheets, placing them so that the long edges over-lap by 2 inches. Now you have a large rectangle that's twice as long and twice as wide as a single filo sheet.
- 6. Repeat this process with the next 2 sheets, adding them to the rectangle to make a square. Every sheet should be coated with oil, and you should be able to see 6 connected sheets in front of you, forming a 30-inch square. Do the same thing all over again to form a second layer on top of the first, so that you end up with a two-layer 30-inch square of filo that is painted with olive oil.
- 7. Sprinkle the almond meal over the first third of the dough, leaving an empty 2-inch border on the bottom and sides. Using a spoon, place the apple filling on the almond meal, leaving a 3-inch border along the whole long side. Fold in the two side edges of the dough, using the parchment or cloth to help you handle the fragile dough. Now, again using the parchment or cloth, start rolling the dough around the filling, pulling the paper away as you roll to prevent it from rolling into the strudel. Keep rolling until all the dough is wrapped around the filling. Paint the strudel with olive oil. Roll the strudel on the prepared baking sheet so it is seam side down, bending the ends to form a horseshoe shape (since the roll will be longer than the baking sheet). Don't worry if the strudel cracks when you curve it — once you slice it, these cracks will not be apparent.
- 8. Bake the strudel for 1 hour or until golden and crisp. Let it cool on the pan. Then carefully remove it from the pan, using a long spatula, and dust it well with confectioners' sugar. Cut into slices and serve at room temperature.

VIDEO: San Antonio puts Miami on the brink of elimination
MIAMI — In their most important game of the season, a game that Chris Bosh had referred to hours earlier as a "must-win" game, the Miami Heat lost, at home, to the San Antonio Spurs by 21 points, 107-86. This just two days after losing, at home, to the Spurs by 19 points, 111-92.
To be fair, calling these two games "losses" by the Heat may be selling the Spurs a bit short. In Games 3 and 4, the Spurs have systematically dismantled the Heat, exposing almost every flaw of the two-time defending champs while on the game's biggest stage.
"I mean, they smashed us," said LeBron James. "Two straight home games, got off to awful starts. They came in and were much better than us in these two games. It's just that simple."
"Well, I think they're getting to their game a lot better than we are," said Dwyane Wade. "They're doing what they want to do better than we are. So right now they're playing better than us, no question about it. We'll see at the end of the series. Whoever wins is the better team. But the Spurs are playing better than us. They whipped our butt here at home, and you've got to give them credit for coming out, getting to their game plan, their game for 48 minutes, and we haven't been able to do that. So if we want to get back into the series, we have to be better than them on Sunday. If not, then it will be over."
For a team built around three superstars, during Games 3 and 4, the Heat have looked suspiciously like a team with one star who has been getting precious little support. While James finished Game 4 with 28 points, eight boards and eight assists, Bosh and Wade combined for just 22 points, six rebounds and four assists. The only other Heat player to score more than eight points was James Jones, who scored 11 once the game was out of reach.
As this series has played out, the Heat have looked like a tired team, a squad that has played every one of the 86 playoff games they've logged over the last four years. While the Heat players dismissed talk of exhaustion, the eye test has seemed to show a Heat team relying on making plays that haven't always been there when needed.
Which isn't to say this series has been all about the Heat's failures. The Spurs have shown on possession after possession, on both sides of the ball, that simple things like ball movement, spacing, help defense and teamwork still hold ultimate value. According to James, the Spurs present a singular set of challenges, almost a perfect basketball storm.
"Man, they move the ball extremely well," said James. "They put you in positions that no other team in this league does, and it's tough because you have to cover the ball first, but also those guys on the weak side can do multiple things. They can shoot the ball from outside, they can also penetrate. So our defense is geared towards running guys off the three-point line, but at the same time those guys are getting full steam ahead and getting to the rim, too. The challenge is as well, with them, implementing [Boris] Diaw into the lineup has given them another point guard on the floor. So Manu [Ginobili], Tony [Parker], and Diaw and Patty Mills on the floor at once, they've got four point guards basically on the floor at once. So all of them are live and they all can make plays. So it's a challenge for us all."
This Heat core was assembled to win numerous titles, as James famously said at their introductory press conference: "Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven." They've got two, but number three had looked more and more elusive as the 2014 Finals has played out. Yet for a Heat team that has put together four consecutive runs to the NBA Finals, perhaps their biggest test yet still awaits beginning with Sunday's Game 5 in San Antonio, as the odds are stacked against Miami — no team in NBA history has come back from a 3-1 Finals deficit to win an NBA championship.
"I don't care about odds," noted Bosh. "Odds are for people that can't do it."
"Obviously, I do know the numbers," said James. "It's never been done before, but we're still a confident bunch, even though our heads are lowered down right now. Of course, being down 3-1, and losing two straight games at home, that's just human nature. But we've still got to go out and play on Sunday."

Smoothly integrated with the rear bumper, this diffuser enhances the dynamic looks of your V40. The upper segment is either painted in the same colour as your V40 or in contrasting grey while the lower part is always charcoal. And the specially-designed double integrated tailpipes in chromed stainless steel add an exclusive sporty feel to your Volvo.
Roof spoiler
This unique spoiler has aircraft inspired fins and winglets which enhance the sporty and aerodynamic stance of your Volvo V40. It comes with an integrated brake light and is painted in the same colour as your V40.
Ailos alloy 7.5x18" rims
Premium white rims add a sleek, sporty edge to your V40.
Tech & Sound
Navigate with style and ease or use the parking assistance. And with our Tech & Sound accessories you can get the full experience of sound and vision, safety and fun.
Park assist camera, rear
Reversing into a tight parking space can be a stressful experience – wouldn't it be good to have "eyes in the back of your head"? Your Volvo can provide that kind of supernatural ability with a camera mounted in the tailgate, which dramatically increases your field of vision behind the car.
Pack and Load
Practical or elegant, why compromise? With these pack and load accessories you get the best of both and make your everyday life a little bit easier. To obtain your Volvo's good looks some of them can even be colour-coordinated to fit your cars colour perfectly.
Load organiser mat
This organiser mat allows you to keep your items well organised on or under the compartment floor. Thanks to the three movable aluminium dividers, you can create storage areas exactly as you want them, and the mat itself withstand tough use. Available for both the two-level compartment floor as well as the standard compartment floor.
Parcel shelf net
Mounted under the load cover, this handy compartment net helps you to safely stow smaller, loose items while keeping the load compartment neat and tidy at the same time.
Safety grille
In the event of hard braking, this steel safety grille helps to protect people in the car from heavy, unsecured cargo that could become dangerous projectiles.
Nothing is more important than the safety of you and your passengers. And as you'd expect from us, our child seats are among the safest you'll find.
Infant seat (up to 13kg)
Infants up to one year of age travel safely in this rear-facing seat. Side wings help protect in a side impact, and you can easily adjust the padded headrest and five-point harness. There's a canopy to block the sun, too. This infant seat is also easy to carry and can be used as a carrycot.
Convertible child seat (9-25 kg)
This advanced, flexible rearward-facing child seat is suitable for children aged 9 months to six years. It's fitted using the car's safety belt and is easily adjusted to help optimise comfort and safety.
Booster seat (15-36 kg)
Volvo's booster seat helps position a child at the correct height for the safety belt and is designed to optimise side impact protection. The headrest and width adjust easily to enhance comfort, and the backrest can be reclined when your child wants to rest.
Everything we do is designed around people, so every innovation we make is designed to simplify and improve your life. We're especially proud of our advances in efficient power, connectivity and safety. We call our thinking in these areas: Drive-E, Sensus, and IntelliSafe.

rrgreg needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 139 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
This is a startup business providing custom photography for advertisers. I need a logo for the site. I want something simple, yet sleek. Something clean and utilizing a somewhat custom font, not just what is provided on standard font lists.
The name of this company is customAdArt, the web address is http://www.customadart.com (soon to be launched). The capitalization as previously written is how I have been showing it so far, but if you have another variation that you think would look better please don't hesitate to submit it.
I want something sleek, yet with a somewhat minimalist design. This is a pretty open request, so use your imagination.
I also like the look of a simple graphic to the left of the name.
An example of a logo i like is the incspring logo -- http://www.incspring.com. But since my name is longer, I would probably need the letters a little tighter together and maybe with some bold in there or something. But I like the idea of an intresting little graphic to the left of the name.
A good design that is easily branded. Doesnt require a whole lot, just something clean and aesthetically appealing.
Something extremely complicated or too busy.

Keyword Analysis
Every online marketer speaks about keyword, but only a few truly understand how to carry out in-depth analysis that will improve the conversion rate and generate profit. The keyword is fundamental to ranking websites organically; it determines how pages appear on search engines when such words are entered. Among the few that have a deep insight into keyword analysis, S4G2 comes first!
S4G2 SEO experts will analyze your targeted keyword and also assess that of your competitors, thus arriving at the most profitable keywords combination for you.
On-page Optimization
From our years of testing and conducting research, we have come to understand that virtually every action you take on your website affects your ranking.

We also help startup websites to maximize the pages they have already created by linking appropriately, and in case of needing additional web pages, we duly create them and link correctly using the right keyword as the anchor text.

Favourite lyrics
Maine is a state in the USA! I do want to move to France some day though. Its my dream too.
Maine is in the US!? I should have just googled it.. I'm loving the Fall Be Kind ep right now. I listen to it almost serveral times a day. I think the end of Graze is so fun, from comfort comfort. All the lyrics in that song are really great though. http://animalcollective.org/lyrics/song/graze I used to think the last two lines were 'Open the door and your staying home' So lately that bit of the song has been making me happy.
yeah, sorry to burst your bubble guys. I'm not fancy french just a plain ol' yank.
[quote="156curses"] I'm loving the Fall Be Kind ep right now. I listen to it almost serveral times a day. I think the end of Graze is so fun, from comfort comfort. All the lyrics in that song are really great though. .[/quote] I love the ending of graze because I know exactly how it feels to feel scarred and depressed as though comfort has left you. I like the part "Why can't I reach for you, when I most need you? You're at the beach and, I'm in some strange bed" Because it's sort of funny to imagine that in your time of great need when you're feeling scared and alarmed that your "comfort" is off on vacation enjoying itself and kind of mocking you. The fact that comfort is off at the beach kind of comforts me in a way:D
shit that line you just posted really touches me deep in my soul. I always had trouble reaching my ex boyfriend when I needed him, he'd be off at night hanging out with friends while I struggled with a baby. I could never reach him when I needed him most and now even with our lives straightened out, that is still the case. He's always off having a good time while i'm in an uncomfortable situation by myself. I never realized how much that line meant to me until I saw it written out.
Wow, it's really cool to be able to say stuff that brings meaning to the songs for other people. I'm sorry about your ex tigers. That's bs for him to just leave you hanging. It is really ironic how comfort, the people who are supposed to help us through tough times, can be so unreliable. It's like if they aren't there to comfort you then what's the point of them being there at all? It really makes you think.
It's `k Tigers, my mom was in the same situation. I still haven't talked to my 'dad' since August of last year.
yeah its alright guys, we've worked out most of our issues now. It was pretty impossible for him to instantly become a good dad when I had our son at eighteen. He had a shit awful father and was going through a hard time so he wasn't there to step up to the plate. I've forgiven him for that. He's a lot more mature and finally grew up now. Its mere coincidence that I can't reach him when I need to now. But i've got a massive family backing me so its no biggie. I love finding songs that so perfectly mean something though.
[quote="KidGrizzly"]It's `k Tigers, my mom was in the same situation. I still haven't talked to my 'dad' since August of last year.[/quote] I think everyone has had some sort of daddy issues in their life. I didn't talk to my dad for 2.5 years after he left. If you ever want advice grizz, lemme know darlin.
[quote="terrortoast"] I think everyone has had some sort of daddy issues in their life. I didn't talk to my dad for 2.5 years after he left. [/quote] everyone has some parental issues because no parent is perfect.
My Pop was an ok guy, but it's taken me decades to realize that. Also as I turn into an adult I can see how he positively influenced me. He is, however, dead, as of 1997. Now, let's not even start on stepfathers....
Step fathers!? Yes, good idea wini. But if anyone has the need to!, the rant forum is waiting paitently..
after finding this forum, immediately registered to interact with you all.... been looking over "turn into something" lyrics. does anyone have some alternate lines for "tennison tubs"? I hear it slurred as "tennyson tones" or "tunes", which makes a bit more sense for the message I get from the song. ----absolutely hooked on this song while running ----I try to understand it while running ----it's a good thing I continue to run ----because it's one hell of a song to delve into.
Hi Merman, I've wondered about this song too: but I can't for the life of me discern the lyrics. The grinding guitar solo BLAARRGGGHH in it alays makes me want to SCREEEEEEEEAM it's SOOOO good and I wish it just played that bit over and over. Welcome, and thank you!
*searches for feels cd - finds TIS lyrics - track 9! - listens and[b] reads [/b]for first time* Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I've never read those lyrics before. I hear tennision tubs. Don't know what it means though. - maybe I should google that... It is a truely great song! Welcome Merman ([i]I got the black lung pa![/i]) Right?! Right?!
The Purple Bottle - 'Can I call you just to hear you? Would you care?' My ears just picked that up. Avery - Avery? - Avery just said YOU three times. Ha. fun fun..
[quote="156curses"] Welcome Merman ([i]I got the black lung pa![/i])[/quote] I totally just got that connection. LOVE that movie. PS: [i]"How can you expect the children to read when they can't even fit inside the BUILDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"[/i]
what is this?! a CENTER for ANTS!?
[size=85](my favourite)[/size] You can derelick my balls ! [size=50]hahahahahahaha[/size]
I do not know what you speak of and feel a little left out. So please tell me.
I don't know either.
It's from the movie Zoolander with Ben Stiller. It's about male models. SOOOOOOooo funny. Please rent/buy it on DVD and watch it if you want to laugh a lot
yeah, I love it! I just couldn't think of any good quotes... really really good looking...that's the closest.
Getting back on the topic of the thread... I've been listening to STG,STV a lot lately, and I especially love April and the Phantom. After listening to it a whole bunch and reading the lyrics, I'm pretty sure the story goes like this: April is a teen that runs away from home and her oppressive mother with her boyfriend, Phantom, whom her parents disapprove of. Phantom is her only escape from her home life. She runs away because she is pregnant with Phantom's child, and does not want them to find out because she is scared of the consequences. She leaves without a goodbye note, and her parents only know of one place she could run away to: the forest. Phantom agrees to go with her. They run away together and April talks about the future she wants for them & the baby. April and Phantom get the results of an ultrasound, and Phantom gets cold feet and walks out on April and the baby; he also confesses to cheating on April. He tells her to go back to her mother, because he thinks she knows about the baby and that she will help. April thinks that he is being a child by not taking responsibility for the baby, and that he should grow up. April wants Phantom to be there for the baby. He promises he will. April thinks he's lying, and she can see through his lies. He reassures her that he will care for the baby. She doesn't feel good about his offer. He is angry that she doesn't believe him. Her family, who is now in the picture, tells her to let him go, and that he should be dead to her. Phantom knows the end of the conflict is near, but he will still be there for the baby. April and Phantom were once close; the times when April was living with her parents and couldn't go out on the weekends. They've settled their problems now, they agree with each other. April and Phantom talked all the time before they separated. They've settled their problems now, they agree with each other. Their child has social problems because of her weird home life.
There's something I really like about "Imagine the beach of an old age that wasn't filled with girls" from From a Beach. Because people often associate beaches with girls running around in bikinis being all ditzy and that isn't what a beach is about, maaaaaaaaaan. The first few times I heard the song all I heard was "filled with girls" and I thought something like "uh oh, that's kinda stupid sounding!" but then I saw what it actually was and that made it better.
I like your interpretation of that line. It makes me think of a beach before people hung around on in little bikinis. What were beaches like in the middle ages? I'm not really sure. But that's what I think it's talking about.
[quote="Shinsy"]There's something I really like about "Imagine the beach of an old age that wasn't filled with girls" from From a Beach. [/quote] From a Beach? [size=85]...what album/ep is that from? ..I'm confused[/size]
it's from a random radio session, I think. Generally just an unreleased, wonderful little tune.
i'm pretty sure this is where I got it from: http://www.bansheebeat.com/ac.html It's over three quarters of the way down under "11/18/07: BBC Radio Session (MP3, AAC) "
My favorite lyrics is Imagine - John Lennon, just amazing lyrics from an amazing artist. Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... just a little bit of the lyrics.
I just read through this entire thread, all of you are so amazing. I have found so many new beautiful things. I will add more later, I just wanted to say you all are so great.
Aww, you're great too! Can't wait to read your posts because this is one of my favorite threads and it's been deadeded lately.
Thanks similar!
[b]Did you see the words. [/b] One of my all time favorites. [i]Because its messy, yes, this mess is mine Though mine is messy, yours is maybe nine Look we've had similar stitches Look we have similar frowns Do the elderly couples still Kiss and hug and Grab their big wrinkly skin, so tough, wrinkly wrink, wrink wrinkly rough? [/i] I saw a really elderly couple holding hands today as they walked down the road, and then saw them again later when the old man came in to buy his wife ice cream at my ice cream shop. I am excited to some day have wrinkly skin, and happy to see people can still be so in love even when they are getting towards the end of life. [b]Summertime Clothes:[/b] [i]Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal I point in the windows, you point out the parks Rip off your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks We'll dance to the songs from the cars as they pass Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash Walking around in our summertime clothes, Nowhere to go while our bodies glow And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon And I want to walk around with you[/i] This song is such a vivid story, and brings be back to so many of my favorite memories of late night summer walks. in fact it even reminds me of tonight. I just got off work 1AM, but my friend came and helped me and it was super fun, involving driving golf carts around, sorting all the trash for an ice cream shop and a bowling alley, and eating bread pudding at midnight. I especially like the bit [u]And we'll greet the dawn in its morning blues With purple yawn, you'll be sleeping soon[/u] Such beautiful poetic words that bring so many vivid memories of summer all nighters with purple dawns... ahhh musical perfection. I could go on for a while. But this is too long as is. It's just my first free time all day.
mmm, those are excellent moments! I'm glad that you enjoy this thread as much as we have. It really is a favorite of mine too. I especially love the lines you pointed out from Summertime Clothes; i've never really appreciated them before.
Not sure if Panda Bear counts as AC song on this site but this is my favorite lyric so far..... It's not a ticket for you to pick at other people who don't know whats up, like your so sure you do.
Avey's screaming is my favorite lyric.
"I'm alright! I'm alright! I'm alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"
I think we should have a different section for lyrics from other bands than animal collective. Imma move these lyrics
definitely april and the phantom, and Prospect Hummer, April and the Phantom makes me feel like i'm wearing a skirt in the jungle. Prospect Hummer reminds me of days with my girlfriend just laying around and drinking coffee
[quote]April and the Phantom makes me feel like i'm wearing a skirt in the jungle. [/quote] a feeling i know all too swell...
These are some amazing lyrics "Come on Davey Open the blinds You gotta look past the window And fly" "I don't care if I don't wake up You'll kiss me and I'll surely wake up" "Well I had a little slippi and I held it as a baby And I wanna (get) to mommy cause i'm sentimental slippi Well i'm gonna raise a family and I gotta have a baby And she'll have a little slippi and she'll say oh my little slippi little slippi" "But there's no need to worry This is just a vacation It's not permanent leaving Every kid gets excited" "I'd take my time, you take your time, please take your time." They make me feel that I can do whatever I want and not feel bad about it.
This might be long. : P "Your breath sounds Inhaling a portrait, it's frozen.- -When sound is dead will you sing in time And lie?" "What's with all the changes since the time I was aware?" "I talk too much about you Their ears are getting tired of me singing all the night through Let's just talk together You and me and me and you And if there's nothing much to say Well, silence is a bore" "Meet me after the world with the shivers" "You just drift and pray For sun kissed golden days. And I can't hold what's in my hand Don't do any good to say this isn't what I planned" "What do you see when you see inside of me?" "There isn't much that I feel I need A solid soul and the blood I bleed" "I should be floating, but I'm weighted by thinking" "Am I really all the things that are outside of me?" [i]"It'd sure feel good to share our favorite things I'll keep an open mind if you let me in Don't let your temper rise, don't get a bitter face Try not to judge me on my kind of taste And don't go changing clothes when they don't like yours"[/i] And basically every line from [b]For Reverend Green, Summertime Clothes and In The Flowers. [/b]
Man, so many to choose but all time favourite that just sums up a complete detachmant from all of the bullshit in adult life and the cruel yet beautiful flow of time and the difference of yourself from when you were small is: "From one moment to the next, red negativity in the street, maybe its the dirt, maybe it's the heat a baby on the bus smiled at me so easy" From For Reverand Green. That whole song is incredible. The whole of Banshee beat is a winner: " You can forget about the things that he can say like... ah- I don't think that I like you any more, I got new feelings from the feelings store". that whole tune is so melancholy but kind of a warm hug. another favourite for more knowing reasons has got to be from Chores: "I want to get so stoned, and take a walk out in the light drizzle!" -Love to all the animals. x
Reverend Green is great because most bands, even great ones, stick with a straight 7/8 feel most of the time instead of switching it up to 14/8 (which the AC did in WWIW?S, but it's still cool.)
Flesh Canoe is wonderful, my favorite lyrics are "just wondering what to do with myself and you making funny faces naked in the mirror of the bathroom" (I may be slightly off) but that image is so lovely to me. It seems so natural and beautiful.

Walgreen's (NYSE:WAG) key sales metric rose 4.4% in May as more patients filled their prescriptions at the pharmacy, helping to push third-quarter revenue above expectations.
Continue Reading Below
Pharmacy sales last month were up 7.9% over 2013 and accounted for 64.2% of total sales.
This comes as the number of people filling their prescriptions at stores open longer than a year (a widely used growth metric in the retail industry known as same-store sales) increased by 3.5%.
Same-store front-end sales, the retail part of its store that sells anything from shampoo to crackers, grew 2.6%, helping to lift total May sales 6% to $6.57 billion from $6.19 billion last year.
Walgreen said larger basket sizes helped to offset decreases in customer traffic.
Total third-quarter sales for the three months ended May 31 were up 6.5% to $19.49 billion from $18.65 billion a year ago, topping average analyst estimates of $19.2 billion in a Thomson Reuters poll. Same-store sales during the quarter increased 6.8%.
The world's largest pharmacy chain, which reported the sales figures on Wednesday, also said it closed 23 stores during May as part of its previously-announced effort to shut a total of 76 drugstores during the second half of fiscal 2014.
Shares of Walgreen, which swallowed 45% of European pharmacy giant Alliance Boots in a $6.7 billion deal in 2012 and has the option to buy the rest in 2015, were up just 0.14% to $71.66 in early trade.

- Premier League
Former Man City star says Mancini failed
Former Manchester City defender Danny Mills says he is not surprised by the sacking of manager Roberto Mancini, insisting the Italian failed to meet "City's standing and expectations".
City announced Mancini's departure with a brief statement on their official website, claiming the club "failed to achieve any of its stated targets this season".
Although Mancini broke City's 35-year trophy drought by guiding the club to the 2010-11 FA Cup triumph and claimed the league title a year later, Mills believes the pressures of managing one of the Premier League's top clubs demands consistent results.
"He will go down in Manchester City folklore for winning their first trophy in 35 years," he told BBC Radio Five Live. "But only meeting one of the five targets, he's obviously failed on what he was asked to do.
"City's standing and expectations are completely different to those of a Reading or a Southampton."
Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini is a clear favourite to replace Mancini at the Etihad, although the Chilean denied he has agreed a deal with City.
Former City striker David White believes the club's players and fans will be largely disappointed with the decision, but has backed Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho to succeed Mancini.
"I think overall they (the fans) were definitely behind the manager," White told Sky Sports News. "They have had success with him not seen over the past couple of years.
"The new manager comes in and if he starts well then you know things are quickly forgotten - it depends how the new manager starts next season.
"Given the choice between Mourinho and Pellegrini, they (the fans) would love to see Mourinho at the club. But whether he fits in with what they want, he does tend to come and go at a football club. He would certainly be my choice and most City fans.
"It seems that they (the new manager) need to be successful in Europe and that is the aim of the club. They are looking at silverware every season. A lot of the players were incredible last year. They fell a little bit short this year. This makes a massive difference.
"We've got the top three teams that are going to finish all without a manager and if you want someone, you want to get them early. It is difficult to keep that away from the press and then the manager."

Dissection of an Application Frameworks, Part 2[Editor's Note: This piece picks up where the article Dissection of an Application Frameworks left off.]
The Inheritance Approach
The inheritance approach is driven by two important object-oriented concepts:
- Hook methods
- Template methods
Hook Methods
A hook method is a placeholder that will be filled by the application-specific logic. It is the manifestation of a hot spot concept in an actual class. The terms "hook method" and "hot spot" are interchangeable in many publications. However, a hot spot doesn't necessarily take the form of a method; it can also be in the form of a class or application, although the method form is the most common manifestation of a hot spot. Although a hook method can also appear in a concrete class (as we will see later in this section), it often appears in the form of an abstract method inside an abstract class.
public abstract class BasicBusiness{ protected float income; //the template method public void ReportTax() { float sTax = CalculateStateTax(); float fTax = CalculateFedTax(); bool ok = CheckBankBalance(sTax + fTax); if (!ok) { FileBankruptcy(); } else { SendMoneyToGov(sTax + fTax); } } protected abstract float CalculateStateTax(); protected abstract float CalculateFedTax();}
The BasicBusiness class is an abstract class containing three methods: ReportTax, CalculateStateTax, and CalculateFedTax; the latter two are abstract methods. BasicBusiness is used to report income tax to state and federal government, and it contains the fictitious business-domain knowledge about the action taken at the time of tax filing. ReportTax determines whether the bank balance can cover the total tax. If the balance can cover it, a check will be sent out to the government; otherwise, the account holder will file for bankruptcy.
The ReportTax method depends on two pieces of information in order to determine whether to pay the tax or file for bankruptcy: the tax amount to be paid to the state government and the tax amount to be paid to the federal government. The creators of the BasicBusiness component have no knowledge of the tax law that applies to each situation. For example, depending on the location and type of business, different tax brackets may apply. Since BasicBusiness doesn't know how to calculate the tax amount, it will leave such tasks to someone who knows. The two abstract methods will act as placeholders to be filled later with code that generates the final tax amounts. Although CalculateStateTax and CalculateFedTax are abstract methods, they can be called just like regular methods. As you can see in the previous sample, the CheckBankBalance method takes the return values of two abstract methods as its parameters even though the two abstract methods have not yet been implemented.
Of course, someone has to implement the CalculateStateTax and CalculateFedTax abstract methods before the ReportTax method can provide any meaningful functionality. In fact, because BasicBusiness contains the abstract methods, it can't be used by instantiating it. Instead, you will need to create a concrete class that derives from the BasicBusiness class and implements its two abstract methods. The following example shows a class that extends BasicBusiness and implements its two abstract methods:
public class NewYorkBusiness : BasicBusiness{ //implementation of abstract method protected override float CalculateStateTax() { return income * 0.1F; } //implementation of abstract method protected override float CalculateFedTax() { return income * 0.2F; }}
NewYorkBusiness is a concrete class that provides the tax calculation methods for New York State. With the custom implementation in the NewYorkBusiness class, ReportTax defined in BasicBusiness can perform some meaningful actions, as shown in the next example:
BasicBusiness nyBusiness = new NewYorkBusiness();//ReportTax now will use the tax calculation algorithm defined for//New York.nyBusiness.ReportTax();BasicBusiness caBusiness = new CaliforniaBusiness();//ReportTax now will use the tax calculation algorithm defined for//California.caBusiness.ReportTax();
Abstract methods are a very powerful concept in both application development and framework development. Imagine that the BasicBusiness class is a framework component and the NewYorkBusiness is an application component. BasicBusiness leaves the hot spots (CalculateStateTax and CalculateFedTax) for the application to fill. Each application will fill those spots according to its specific requirements.
Although the application provides the implementation for the abstract method, it often doesn't invoke the abstract methods directly. Abstract methods are often invoked through the template method.
Template Methods
A template method, one of the GOF design patterns, describes a skeleton or process flow for certain operations rather than prescribing how each operation is carried out. In the example of our BasicBusiness component, ReportTax is a template method. The ReportTax method describes what steps are involved in reporting tax, but it does not describe how every step is performed, since some of the methods it references haven't been implemented. The template method emphasizes how the coordination between different objects/methods is carried out. In framework development, template methods contain the business-domain knowledge on how different methods should work together, whereas abstract methods provide a means of custom method implementation that is referenced in the template method. It is important to realize that template methods and hook methods embody two different concepts; Figure 5 illustrates the relationship between an abstract method (or hook method) and a template method in a framework.
Figure 5. Template method and abstract method
Click here for a larger image.
The left side of the figure represents a framework component, which contains the concrete template method that contains the business expertise and knowledge for a specific business domain. The framework component also has a number of hot spots, represented by the abstract methods. The arrows that point from the template method to the abstract methods indicate that the template method calls several abstract methods for their application-specific behaviors.
On the right side of the figure, an application component extends the framework component and implements the abstract methods in the framework component with the application-specific business logic and knowledge. Because the application framework inherits the functionalities of its framework component parent, its overridden methods (or hook methods) and the template method in its parent class together should be able to provide a combination of business-domain expertise/knowledge and application-level business logics.
Hot spots can be enabled not only through the hook and template methods as we just saw, but also through the concept of pluggable objects in a composition approach.
Note: A term has been used in several technical papers to describe this framework approach as the "Hollywood principle" or the "don't call me, I'll call you principle." Such terms describe the characteristic that a template method in the framework calls the application code instead of the application code calling the framework. However, this terminology is somewhat misleading. The reason such terms are used to describe a framework is that they stress that it is the template method in the framework that calls the implemented abstract methods and controls the process flow in the application. In most cases, the application always calls the framework. Although it may appear that a template method is calling the application code, it is the application code that first invokes the template method.

Love-less Ash MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum in Green
- Reviews
- Description
- Specifications
- Benefits
- Resources
The Love-less Ash MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum has a patented double filter system that removes ash from woodstoves, pellet stoves and fireplaces without releasing dust. There is a primary and secondary filter and both can be cleaned without removing the lid of the ash vacuum. Just agitate the filter support basket which is between the primary and secondary filters. You don't have to worry about hot sparks accidentally hitting the primary filter because it is fire retardant. Any sub-micron particles allowed through the primary filter are trapped by the secondary filter.
The hose on the MUH405 Cougar Ash Vacuum is flame resistant in case a hot spark passes though. The particles removed are small and easily moved along and deposited in the canister. The metal nozzle that is attached to the hose removes ash quickly and leaves larger particles so they can be burned again.
To clean ash without having a cloud of it surrounding your head when you are done, purchase a Love-less Ash MU405 Cougar Ash Vacuum!

Faculty and Staff Reference
Student payments are classified into three general categories:
Evaluate the student payment using the definitions and examples below. Based upon the classification, the appropriate forms to complete are listed.
A payment is considered compensation for services if:
Examples Include: Student Assistant, Work study student, lab assistant, tutor, exam proctor, research assistant.
Affect on Financial Aid Eligibility: Payment for employment does not directly affect a student's eligibility for need-based federal, state, institutional aid. Students receive W-2 forms and earnings are accounted for in a student's Adjusted Gross Income and tax liability, if applicable when they apply for financial aid for the next year.
General Taxability Information: Earnings from employment are always taxable. The University provides a student a W-2.
|Payment Type
|Forms Required
State Payment: Payroll, Brotman Hall 353
Foundation Payment: Payroll, FDN 332
|Individual will be issued a W-2 at end of tax year
Educationally Related Awards: including Scholarships, Grants, Fellowships, Traineeships, Assistantships
A payment is considered an Educationally Related Award if the purpose is to support the students pursuit of an educational program. Payments may be designated to assist students with financing their education by covering living expenses during enrollment (rent, food, clothing, transportation, etc.) and/or restricted to tuition, fees, books & supplies.
Most payments to students that are not considered Compensation for Services (above) will fall into this category as the reason they are receiving the award is related to their pursuit of a CSULB educational program.
Payments may be disbursed to students in multiple ways, including a one-time payment, semester payment, and/or monthly living expense payment. Payments are still classified as Educationally Related Awards regardless of the type of educational expense the award covers or how or when the disbursement is made.
Examples Include: Chemistry Scholarship, Research Grants, CalSWEC Award, Book Scholarships, Department Scholarship, Training Grants, Endowed Scholarships, Essay Contests, Graduation Awards, Merit awards.
Affect on Financial Aid Eligibility: Federal and State regulations require the University to coordinate and review all educationally related awards a student is receiving in determining their eligibility for need-based federal, state, and institutional aid. This coordination must happen even if the need-based aid has already been disbursed to the student. In general, the combination of all awards cannot exceed a student's financial aid need. If it does, need-based aid must be adjusted, normally reducing the student's loan burden or work-study obligation.
General Taxability Information: The total amount of Educationally Related Awards (including need-based grants) that exceed the student's tuition, fees, books and supplies is considered taxable. Students are required to self-report this amount when completing federal and state tax returns. Students should consult a tax specialist to determine the tax implications specific to their individual situation.
|Payment Type
|Forms Required
Scholarships & Grants
Student Fellowship

What it does: Connects travelers with property owners in the Asia Pacific region who are willing to rent space in their home — or their entire house or apartment — for brief periods.
What's hot: You can view your search results by looking at a grid of room photos instead of a list. Then toggle between types of properties such as Unique, Scenic, Urban, Luxury, Budget, Nightlife or Beach, to name a few. If you don't know where in Thailand you want to go, search "Thailand," then narrow your results by the type of room.

What's not: If you've never been to Asia, you might need to search the website with a guidebook in hand. Yes, a map indicates where your rental is located, but there's no information about the surrounding area or town in the Description section.

Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) State Grants
Program Description
This program provides funds for States to improve their child protective service systems (CPS). Reauthorized by the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003, the program requires States to provide assurances in their five-year Child and Family Services plan that the State is operating a Statewide child abuse and neglect program that includes several new programmatic requirements such as:
- Policies and procedures that address the needs of drug-exposed infants;
- Triage procedures for referral of children not at imminent risk of harm to community or preventative services;
- Notification of an individual who is the subject of an investigation about the allegations made against them;
- Training for CPS workers on their legal duties and parents' rights; and
- Provisions to refer children under age three who are involved in a substantiated case to early intervention services under IDEA Part C.
Child abuse and neglect continue to impact a large number of children and families in this country:
- During 2002, an estimated 896,000 children were found to be victims of abuse and neglect; an average of 2,400 children each day.
- An estimated 2.6 million referrals of abuse or neglect concerning nearly 4.5 million children were received by CPS agencies. More than two-thirds of those referrals were accepted for investigation and treatment.
- Nationally, 60.5 percent of child victims experienced neglect (including medical neglect), 18.6 percent were physically abused, 9.9 percent were sexually abused, and 6.5 percent were emotionally or psychologically maltreated.
- An average of three children died every day as a result of abuse or neglect in 2002.
Budget Information
The funding for FY 2006 is 27,280,000. Currently 48 States, DC, Puerto Rico receive the grant. The territories receive funding through the Consolidated Grant process.
Program Highlights
The reauthorization of CAPTA places a strong emphasis on interagency collaborations across child protective services, health, mental health, juvenile justice, education, and other public and private agencies. Additional funding for this program will assist States with meeting the expectation of the grants and also allow them to place a greater emphasis on the prevention-related activities to help strengthen and support families that are brought to the attention of CPS agencies across the country. The Children's Bureau is also working with our National Child Welfare Resource Centers to provide training and technical assistance to the States on models of best practice for CPS.

Bucharest: Romanian police arrested three people suspected of having participated last year in stealing the works of artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Monet and Gauguin from the Kunsthal Museum in Rotterdam, the Mediafax news agency reported Tuesday.
The three suspects are Romanian citizens, Mediafax said, citing investigators.
The thieves stole pieces valued between $66.5 million and $133 million, among which were Picasso`s "Harlequin`s Head" and Monet`s "Waterloo Bridge, London".
"The investigation is continuing ... and so more details about it cannot be provided," police spokeswoman Raluca Seucan said.
The stolen paintings were part of an exhibit of 150 works being displayed to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Kunsthal.
At the time, Dutch police made public a videotape showing two people entering and leaving the museum carrying large bags.
The museum directors said after the robbery that the collection is very well documented, which makes it unlikely that the works could be sold.
