CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Competing in the South Padre Island Shootout, MIT fell to Amherst College (58-39) and LeTourneau University (69-52) during the last week of December. Sharon Prange represented the Engineers (3-7) on the All-Tournament Team after averaging 18.5 points, eight rebounds, two blocks, two assists and 1.5 steals.
Against Amherst, Prange opened the scoring with a lay-up, which helped propel MIT to a 6-2 advantage at the 15:37 mark. The Lord Jeffs responded by scoring six unanswered points in a span of 1:13 to take the lead. The Engineers stayed close for most of the frame, eventually knotting the contest at 18 on a pair of free throws from Prange with 6:48 remaining. Amherst drained a three-pointer on its next possession that sparked a 16-4 run to close the half.
The Lord Jeffs extended their double-digit margin in the second stanza, as MIT endured a pair of lengthy scoring droughts. Prange posted a game-high 19 points to go along with five rebounds, one block, and one steal. Christa Margossian led all scorers with nine boards and added seven points. Kimberly Soo Hoo registered seven caroms and three assists while Clara Yuan grabbed three steals.
In Saturday's match-up with LeTourneau, the first half was tightly played as it featured four lead changes and three ties. The Lady Jackets established a 6-2 edge after 2:19 elapsed. On MIT's next possession, Soo Hoo converted a jumper which was followed by a trey from Yuan to give the Engineers their first lead of the game (7-6).
Tech held on to its slim lead until LeTourneau evened the score at 11 with 13:38 to go. The Lady Jackets tacked on six points before MIT went on an 8-0 run for a 19-17 advantage at 8:16. LeTourneau posted four consecutive points, but Soo Hoo answered with a pair of free throws to tie the game for the third time. The Lady Jackets closed the half by outscoring MIT, 11-4, for a 32-25 margin at the break.
The Engineers remained within striking distance for most of the second stanza, trailing by six (54-48) with 5:17 left on the clock. LeTourneau responded with a 15-4 run down the stretch to set up the final score.
Prange recorded her first double-double of the season on 18 points and 11 rebounds while tallying three assists, three blocks, and two steals. Yuan notched 15 points and 10 boards as Soo Hoo totaled 10 points. Margossian rounded out the rebounding corps with 11 caroms.

Last week, I had one of those moments in parenthood that pretty much every mom absolutely dreads. Yep, my 6-year-old son came home from school with a small piece of paper in his pocket, and lo and behold -- it had a little girl's name on it, along with her phone number.
And at first, I had to laugh a little, because he looked so darn precious when he handed me that piece of paper and told me that (we'll call her Sally) had given him her digits. I figured he'd probably forget all about Sally and her phone number by the next day -- but then the next morning, my heart sunk a little after he did the unthinkable.
Yep, he asked me to write his phone number down on a little piece of paper so he could take it to school and pass it on to Sally, you know, so they can both call each other whenever they feel like it. (Cue the feelings of sheer panic.)
And that's when I realized that my baby boy does, indeed, have his first girlfriend. Even though she really is a nice little girl, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. I mean, isn't it way too early for this sort of thing? I vaguely remember having a crush on a boy when I was about his age, but I know for certain that we weren't to the point of calling each other on the phone.
No, I'm not entirely stupid, and I realize there's a chance that my little dude and Sally are just good buddies who want to chit-chat once in a while, but still. He doesn't call any of his other friends on the phone yet, so there must be some sort of puppy love going on with this little girl, right?
I know, I know -- I'm totally overreacting and whatever is going on between little dude and Sally is perfectly innocent and not worth getting all excited about. (At least he's outgoing?)
I guess I'm just not quite ready for Sally to be in the picture quite yet, that's all. (Translation -- I was hoping to remain his one and only love for at least another year or two.)
Ok, other moms of first graders, it's your turn. Does your son or daughter have a boyfriend or girlfriend yet?

Flozell Gets A Kick Out of the NFL
Flozell Adams has been fined by the NFL for the third week in a row. The latest fine for kicking Julius Peppers during the Monday Night Football game against the Panthers.
Game 1 – $5,000 Unnecessary Roughness
Game 2 – $12,500 Kicking (2 separate incidents)
Game 3 – $7,500 Kicking
Head coach Wade Phillips had this to say about his veteran left tackle:
"He's a very good football player. He's aggressive … He just wants to protect the quarterback."
Well, at this point would the Cowboys be better off if he went back to the habitual false starts? I'm sure Tony Romo appreciates the support.

Saint Mary softball halts six-game skid with pair of home wins; USM baseball drops two on the road
What's a better way to snap a six-game losing streak than by beating a conference foe?
Beating them twice.
On Thursday, the Saint Mary softball squad evened out its Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference mark by dispatching visiting Bethel College 5-4 and 6-5.
The victories put a halt to a six-game slide the squad had recently found itself in and improved the team's KCAC record to 2-2, 4-12 overall.
"We are now 2-2 in conference and that's a start," USM coach Lori Lorenzen said. "Hopefully, we can get better from here and just keep moving up."
Saint Mary will try to extend its current win streak when it travels to Southwestern College Wednesday for a doubleheader that starts at 5 p.m.
Spires' baseball stumbles at McPherson
With its third loss in its last four games, the Saint Mary baseball team currently finds itself at the bottom of the league standings.
Traveling on the road Thursday, USM lost 4-1 and 5-4 to host McPherson College, which places the Spires at 1-7 in the KCAC, 8-15 overall.
The squad will try to pull itself out of the conference cellar Saturday when it hosts McPherson beginning at 1 p.m.

The New Modern Dutailier
Dutailier products have always been well regarded for quality and comfort, but they weren't particularly known for style. That has certainly changed. We got our first glimpse at last year's ABC show and this year Dutailier's modern offerings were out in full force. It's like Edith Crawley went away for the summer and came back as Sybil.
If you haven't checked out Dutailier lately, it's time you do. Above are a selection of chairs (mostly gliders), beds and dressers to peruse. I also want to give Dutailier props for their booth - they used wood cubes (reminiscent of children's blocks) to display their chairs, each creating an intimate vignette. They were a little challenging to photograph, but very visually appealing.

Friends, someone is convinced that those photographs of Kristen Stewart nuzzling Rupert Sanders were faked. This video is the "proof" we all need. And by proof, we mean crazytown bizarro conspiracy theory weirdness.
Honestly? If I were an actress who preferred edgy indie fare to Hollywood teen vampire garbage, and there were millions of fans invested in a relationship that I wasn't really that into, and the last movie was about to come out and I wanted to get out of that relationship, I might do some crazy shit and have some kind of embarrassing public moment that turns me into a villain and makes my heartthrob ex seem like a great guy. As a wise person once said, "Sometimes what seems absurd to most people is the very truth." But there is a word for this video, and that word is WTF.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and vein in the lungs. As a result, blood passes through the lungs without receiving enough oxygen.
Alternative Names
Arteriovenous malformation - pulmonary
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas are usually the result of abnormal development of the blood vessels of the lung. Most occur in patients with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROWD) - now commonly called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia(HHT). These patients often have abnormal blood vessels in many parts of the body, including the lung.
Fistulas also can be a complication of liver disease or lung injury, although this is much less common.
Many people have no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they can include:
Bloody sputum Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty exercising
- Nosebleeds
- Shortness of breath with exertion
Other possible symptoms include:
- Blue skin (
cyanosis) Clubbingof the fingers
Signs and testsThe doctor or nurse will examine you. This may show:
- Abnormal blood vessels (
telangiectasias) on the skin or mucus membranes
- Abnormal sound, called a murmur,when a stethoscope is placed over the abnormal blood vessel
Tests that may be doneinclude:
Arterial blood gas Complete blood count(CBC) Chest x-ray Chest CT scan Echocardiogram
- Liver function tests
- Perfusion radionuclide lung scan
- Pulmonary
A small number of patients who have no symptoms may not need treatment. For most patients with fistulas, the treatment of choice is to block the fistula during an
Some patients may need surgery to remove the abnormal vessels and nearby lung tissue.
When arteriovenous fistulas are caused by liver disease, the treatment is a liver transplant.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook for patients with HHT is not as good as for those without HHT. For patients without HHT, surgery to remove the abnormal vessels usually has a good outcome, and the condition is not likely to return.
Major complications after treatment for this condition are unusual. Complications may include:
- Bleeding in the lung
- Stroke due to blood clot that travels from the lungs to the arms, legs, or brain (paradoxical venus embolism)
- Infection in the brain or heart valve
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you often have nosebleeds or difficulty breathing, especially if you also have a personal or familyhistory of HHT.
Because this condition is often genetic, prevention is not usually possible.

Total Members Voted: 114
Grr every time I see another AA post where people start talking about how unfair AA is I get so annoyed because the application process, whether for school work, etc, is a discriminating process by nature. If a law school received 7000 applications for 260 spots and all of the applicants had the EXACT same stats, what basis would they use to say whether applicant 155 is in and applicant 1789 is not? They use the factors that the school feels will make the entering class diverse in extracurricular activities, culture, race, background, academic major, region, etc. Do I feel that I got into a certain school solely because of AA?? Hell no!! I am a Black female who graduated magna cum laude with a BS in electrical engineering, a field where there are barely even women, let alone black women. I had numerous and extensive extracurricular activities. I had great a personal statement, and great reccommendations. I was very well rounded on my own and I think that if I had left the race box blank, they would have accepted me either way.Many people naively assume that if they have a certain LSAT score and GPA that they are automatically entitled to admission to the school of thier choice. Sorry but that just is NOT the case. There are, have been, and always will be people with damn near perfect numbers who still get rejected. Is it because some URM took their spot? Hell NO!! They just didn't have what the law school was looking for in terms of the kinds of personalities they want at their school.AA does not take away from qualified individuals, and no, qualified does not just include your GPA and LSAT score. It is responsibility of ALL applicants to sell themselves on their application and personal statement, and back it up with great reccommendations. If you do that well, regardless of your stats a school of your choice will want you. One earlier poster said that if a rich black kid and a poor white kid were applying for law school or a job the black kid would get the advantage. Not true. In the case of law school admissions, that white kid needs to sell himself better than the black kid regardless of his race. If he feels that he was at an economic disadvantage then it is up to him to present that to the ad comms. It is up to the individual to let the adcomms know who you are. I feel that most of the people who were "scorned" by AA are really just experienciong the result of not having sold themselves well enough. I beleive that regardless of what AA practice you think are being used, a damn goods applicant is a damn good applicant. You can't expect an adcomm to see a white male with a 2.9 in Poli Sci and 165 after he or she has already seen other white male applicants with a 165 LSAT and much higher GPAs in Poli Sci and them want to pick you with out there being something that makes you stand out. And I don't see that as discrimination based on being white. I see it as the ad comms trying to have more diversity.
i'm sure you are an impressive candidate (since you graduated magna in EE), but almost everything you say below makes no sense.
It makes sense to me. Now that I look back, it may not need to be verbose but it basically states that the admissions process is discriminatory by nature, NO ONE is a sure bet on any school solely bacause of their stats (as is seen by the 180 scorers being rejected), and that marketing yourself well enough will get you where you want to be, despite any "setbacks" from AA.But I do respect your comment.
Working in retail is much the same. This one place I used to work at flat out told me they hire only pretty girls. I was appalled, but needed the cash. This same place also had the employees followed Native people around the store to make sure they didn't shoplift. Some restaurants also use selective hiring for waitressing/hosting positions; they require you to attach a photo with your resume.
uh oh...you're on me...

Jurassic Park was one of the last nails in the coffin for stop-motion animation—a special effects technique that had brought dinosaurs to the silver screen almost 50 years ago. But before the advent of computer graphics it was considered the cutting edge of visual effects, thanks to the work of a man named Ray Harryhausen who was a master at the technique.
In this interview dating back to 1974—a time when stop-motion animation was still very much a popular technique in filmmaking—Harryhausen discusses some of his more infamous creations, including dinosaurs and the multi-headed hydra. It shows how sophisticated modern visual effects have become, but the clips of his creations in action are still surprisingly convincing. Even when you know that towering Allosaurus is only a foot and half tall rubber model in real life. [YouTube via BoingBoing via Dangerous Minds]

Falklands dispute: Argentina 'urges UK import ban'
The Argentine government is calling on the country's top companies to stop importing goods from the UK, according to the state news agency Telam.
Industry Minister Debora Giorgi called the bosses of at least 20 firms to urge them to replace imports from Britain with goods produced elsewhere, it said.
The move is linked to the dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands, which Argentina claims as the Malvinas.
Tension has been rising ahead of the 30th anniversary of the Falklands war.
The industry ministry is trying to reduce Argentina's trade deficit with the UK and establish policies that favour countries that recognize Argentina's territorial claim, Telam reported.
In recent months the government of President Cristina Fernandez has stepped up its campaign to assert sovereignty over the Falklands, rallying regional support for its claim.
It also has a policy of restricting imports through formal and informal means to try to stop foreign currency reserves from flowing out of the country.
On Monday two cruise ships were turned back from the Argentine port of Ushuaia, apparently because they had visited the Falklands.
UK foreign office minister Jeremy Browne expressed "sadness and frustration" at that move.
"We enter the relationship with Argentina in a spirit of friendship, and it's source of sadness to us that they don't always do the same," he told parliament.
The UK, which has controlled the Falklands since 1833, says there can be no negotiations on sovereignty as long as the 3,000 Islanders wish to remain British.
On 2 April, both nations will mark the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War, which began with an Argentine invasion of the islands and ended in victory for a British task force sent to recover them.

While I was on hiatus, I did a lot of cooking at my sister's apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. My sister works a ton, but was able to take some time off while I was visiting (and hey, thanks for something, Sandy), and it was so much freaking fun planning and cooking meals together in her tiny kitchen, as the pseudo adults we've become. Jenny's not vegan, but she's pretty cool, so we made it work. We cooked Cambodian, Thai, Mexican, Italian, and American South-inspired, in addition to throwing together New York dill-style picklebacks and plenty of creative cocktails.
For our first night in New York, J. Legume, Jen and I went grocery shopping in Chinatown (fun note, where I just happened to run into the long-ago winner of Portland's first Vegan Iron Chef competition), and picked up the ingredients for a curry noodle soup. My sister knows that I'm still talking incessantly about being inspired by my time in SE Asia last winter, and basically, wanted to see me put all this talk into action, on her dinner table. Somehow, Jen had yet to use the Cambodian amok powder from Siem Reap I had sent her, so that went in as the curry base. J. Legume picked out the lovely yu choi that was steamed with a drizzle of soy sauce and toasted sesame oil.
Admittedly, we spent much of the next few days dining out for dinner, as this was J. Legume's first visit, and it had been two or years since I'd last visited. While J. Legume was there for the first part of my hiatus, we dined at Pukk (home to possibly my favorite meal of the trip), Vinnie's, the Vegetarian Dim Sum House, Foodswings, Maoz, Champs, and 'sNice. We also picked up bagels and tofu cream cheese from a couple of different spots, along with surreal vegan crossaints and pain au chocolat at Blossom's bakery, took in a taping of The Chew, hit up the Natural History Museum, a show at the Bowery, some galleries, and even made it to a wedding in the Catskills. To name a few things.
J. Legume and I had intended to do a bit more cooking, but our combined excitement to sight-see the city, and its dining selection, was far too strong. We did manage to stay in, once more, for her final evening, and made a giant pot of lemony Syrian Lentil Soup, which I think my sister is probably still making her way though. For dessert, we baked a batch of chic-o-stick studded chocolate chip cookies, which were very mysteriously, not photographed by any of our party.
During the remainder of my hurricane-extended hiatus, it was much easier to settle in and cook with, and for, my sister and her boyfriend. The strangest meal we made had to have been the following Pad Kee Mao. The flavor was right on, with a dark & mushroom soy-based sauce and heaps of Thai basil, and the ingredients made sense, but once you broke them down, well, we had a heck of a time finding fresh, flat rice noodles in Chinatown, so we were faced with frozen. I don't think that's ever a good idea. To make matters more interesting, we went with two different proteins: tofu chicken, which was fine, and basically compressed tofu, and an impossible to resist, roasted duck-style gluten sheets. This was an utterly fascinating, multi-layered gluten, stuffed with spiced mushrooms. I must say, I somewhat enjoyed its salty incorporation into our mushy, tossed noodles, while the other two thought differently. To each their own.
Hey, we may have demonized the noodles, but everyone ate a bowl.
My sister and her boyfriend work late, so they dine late. So, it makes sense that their nightcaps come before the meals, right? Sure thing.
The recipe for the Passionfruit Whiskey Sours was posted during MoFo over here.
There's a funny story with these pickled peppers. I've clearly been obsessed this past summer and fall with five jars remaining in my own fridge. While my sister pokes fun at this, saying she's never heard of anyone actually ordering the pickled peppers at a deli, and certainly wasn't as excited as I was about the late season black jalapeños I brought with me from the Lents farmers market for her very own supply, she was even more horrified when the newly pickled jar smashed out of the fridge. After a few days of her very first bout of pickled pepper withdrawal, we were stoked to find local hot peppers at Whole Foods, and made an even more eye-fetching new jar for her fridge.
Now, let's talk tacos.
You see, the chipotle butternut sauce from Artisan Vegan Cheese was such a hit with my sister and her boyfriend that we made it twice during my hiatus. The first time for tvp tacos, and the second, for the simple dipping of tortilla chips, and of course, tator tots. Those little bits of crispy love.
Can one do any better than sitting down to a spread of tator tots, chipotle cheese dip and New York's finest pickles with their little sister? Nah.
My sister also requested I make her a batch of seitan, to which I was happy to oblige. I went with the savoury recipe for No Cluck Cutlets from Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day.
Since we had all this roasted butternut squash floating around – that we picked up from a farm in the Hamptons during a pumpkin picking adventure, no less – we had the Roasted Butternut Alfredo from the PPK blog for dinner one night. I skipped the soaked cashews and subbed in soaked sunflower seeds, due to my no-longer-so-new allergy, and served it with cavatappi over sautéed Spigarello broccoli, balsamic roasted creminis & brussel sprouts, and smoked paprika-spiced squash seeds, for garnish.
It may have been during this meal that my sister incredulously posed the question:
"Is this what real people eat?".
For the very last dinner effort on my hiatus, I thought it only appropriate to combine Jen's request for grits, the remaining produce in the fridge, and the homemade seitan into something Portlandy: Bowls.
The grits themselves were flavored with lots of garlic and nutritional yeast (another thing my sister now has on her shelf) and every time I make them, I wonder why I don't more often. I mean, pan-fried, leftover grit cakes are part of the experience.
These garlicky grits were topped with even more roasted brussels – this time, with alder smoked salt, maple roasted carrots, spiced cornmeal-coated seitan, and Portland's own Secret Aardvark hot sauce, the number #1 thing my sister and her boyfriend continuously request from the great Northwest.
Courteously not pictured: the pickleback experience.
To be continued…sooner than expected.

Tracy Ledford – Maiden, North Carolina's New Police Chief
Maiden's new police chief said two words described his feelings after being sworn into his position: excited and nervous.
"It's excitement for the opportunity that I've been provided by the council and the mayor to be part of a team effort to make the police department better," said Chief Tracy Ledford, who started his career in law enforcement at Maiden Police Department in 1994. "I'm also excited to continue forming strong relationships with the community."
But Ledford was nervous, too, about his new job.
"It was a little overwhelming, but I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to be chief of police in Maiden," he said.
Ledford was sworn into his new position Sept. 1 by Maiden Mayor Bob Smyre. Former Maiden Police Chief Troy Church retired from the department in mid-August to pursue a law degree from North Carolina Central University in Durham.
"We've got a very young department, as far as officers are concerned," Ledford said. "So, I want to assist them in any way that I can."
Fifty applied for the police chief position and four people were chosen from the applicants for interviews.
In the end, however, the best candidate already worked in the Maiden Police Department.
"It always helps to have a good working history with the town," said Town Manager Todd Herms, "but I think (Ledford) has the skills and the personality (for the job), even if he wasn't from Maiden (Police Department)."

I received such wonderful gifts for Christmas and my birthday in November that I wanted to send a thank you note to my mother to let her know I appreciate them. I have recently fallen in love with poppies so I made her a poppy card:
I thought this paper was perfect and I got the poppies from Wild Orchid Crafts. The stamp is from Stamping Bella. I used Martha Stewart glitter pens for the centers of the flowers. You can't really tell in the picture, but the centers are very sparkly.
Thanks for stopping by!

Gullfoss Glow
Gullfoss is one of Iceland's most popular tourist attractions. As you can tell from the few people that are in the photograph, this waterfall is unique and massive. This photograph was taken as the sun was "setting" during the midnight sun.
Where The Plates Meet
Oxararfoss is a waterfall in western Iceland located in the Thingvellir National Park. Thingvellir National Park is where the Eurasian and North-American tectonic plates meet. This was hours before sunset during the summer.
St. Lucian Pitons
A beautiful view of the Piton mountains; Petit Piton and Gros Piton in St. Lucia.

Hidden Waterfall
Hidden waterfall in south Iceland.
Magical Mountains
Iceland gives you hours and hours of sunsets/sunrises during the midnight sun (middle of the summer). This allowed me to really get creative with my photography and grow as a photographer.
Rest Stop
A bird rests on top of the house size glaciers in the Jokulsarlon lagoon in Iceland just before the sunsets.
Where Does The Road Go?
Iceland has so many beautiful and unique roadside views, it is hard not to stop at them all.
The House Below
While in Arnarstapi, Iceland, I found this beautiful house situated under a beautiful and interesting looking mountain. I loved the foreground flowers contrasting with the mountain.
House Lit
Just as the sun was setting the Dyrhólaey Lighthouse in Dyrhólaey, Iceland, turned its light on. It was such a warm light that balanced nicely with the sunlight and the lovely spring flowers.
Reflecting Beauty
I love this shot! It really shows the warmness of this night. The sunset was nice and soft against the blue icebergs. This wonderful place is Jokulsarlon, Iceland. If I had one place I could visit on my return trip, this would be it.
In The River
While standing in the middle of the river I snapped this shot of this wonderful hidden waterfall in Iceland.
Unique View
This fun waterfall is Kirkjufellsfoss in Iceland and the unique mountain is Kirkjufell. I titled this photograph Unique view because of the unique shape of the mountain.
Roadside View
This is one of the many views in Iceland, along the Ring Road that you can find.
Rainbow Falls
Not only is Seljalandsfoss is a beautiful waterfall in southern Iceland, it is also a fun waterfall to pronounce; Sel-ja-lands-foss. This is a unique waterfall because you can actually walk behind this waterfall. You might get soaking wet but you can walk behind it. As you can tell the waterfall cast off is large and many times it creates a pretty rainbow.
Hot Pot
While visiting the famous Geysir in Iceland, stop along the trail to see this view. I loved the colors of the stream, the steam coming off the hot pots and the spring/summer flowers. I find it fascinating that these flowers can live in such a high environment.
This glacier is Svínafellsjökull, in southern Iceland, it is sometimes referred to as a tongue glacier. The reason for that is that this glacier is actually part of a the massive ice cap called Vatnajökull. Svínafellsjökull comes off of Vatnajökull and slides between two mountains making it look like a tongue.
Svínafellsjökull II
Church's View
This is a very pretty church that looks down on the city of Vik, Iceland. It is famous for the lupine flowers.

Last weekend I went to a big wedding and saw some old friends that I hadn't sen in a long time . This was good , they hadn't heard of yarnbombing before so I could talk a lot about it . I look forward to this -my regular friends and my sweetheart are already hearing as much about yarnbombing as anyone could possibly stand .
So we were sitting at a table after dinner eating cake. We really had a lot of cake , the wedding cake had 3 layers – carrot , chocolate with white frosting and red velvet . I think we had 3 pieces of each and Beverly had gotten me a glass of milk too . I was talking about the Oakland Museum of California installation. We have 7 bannisters , 2 chairs and one bench knitted. We have one bench , 8 short bannisters and a tree to go. I'm also organizing a street show of International yarnbombers for the streets of Oakland – I have 6 pieces for that so far. { I know some of you know all this already and I am repeating myself – but maybe some people don't know yet !}
I was talking about imagining your biggest dreams -letting your imagination go as far as it could , make it really wild , really big . { I got this idea from my writer friend N. } My big idea right now is to take big rolls of chain link fence and bead them and put them out on the street and in galleries.
My friends were listening nicely to this and Holtz said " That's great -I think about my great ideas but then I think that I would fail if I tried them !"
" Yes -I know what you mean -I think about it differently now . I think about my ideas and I think –
How would I need to change in order to be able to do that idea ?"
Everyone thought about that for a moment and then we took our cake and went outside and danced the last 2 wedding dances .
So we are looking at pictures of the knitting for the bannisters for the Oakland Museum installation. The Oakland Standard has put up a page about this installation here.
One of my yarnbombs was on ABC News Good Morning America last Thursday . This seems like it would be very exciting but it was kind of silly . And they mislabeled my yarnbomb as Domus , N. Y. instead of Streetcolor. Sorry Dad. You can take a look here.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – Junior Victor Monte (Chantilly, Va.) is in sixth place, helping the Georgia College golf squad to fourth place after two rounds Monday in the Aflac/Cougar Invitational, hosted by Columbus State University.
The Bobcats are tied for fourth with Lander University at 11-over par, Georgia College posting rounds of 294 and 285 on the par-71, 6515-yard Country Club of Columbus course.
Monte put up rounds of 69 and 72 for one-under par, five strokes off the lead. Ryan Trocchio (Norcross, Ga.) is 30th at five-over par. The junior rebounded from a 76 with a second-round 71.
Defending Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Player of the Week Bryan Fox (Roswell, Ga.) and sophomore David Sullivan (Woodstock, Ga.) are a stroke behind in 33rd at six-over. Fox followed a 72 with a 76 in today's action, while Sullivan went in the other direction, a 78 followed by a 70.
Freshman Conner Albright (Macon, Ga.) is positioned 36th at seven-over. Both of Albright's rounds counted, however as he put up a 77 and 72.
The host CSU squad leads the team battle at five-under, running away from the field as the Cougars own a 12-stroke lead over the University of West Florida in second place. Florida Southern College's Tim Crouch is the individual leader at six-under par. He owns a two-stroke advantage over Lander's Robert Prior.
The third and final round comes tomorrow, Oct. 1. Albright leads the Bobcats to the course at 8:50 a.m., playing with golfers from Lander and No. 8 Florida Southern.

Craigslist Shuts Down Adult Services; Says It's Being Censored
from the without-a-lawsuit-too dept
While some had threatened, no actual lawsuit had been filed against Craigslist for this section -- and for a damn good reason: Craigslist is, without a doubt, protected from liability due to Section 230. Furthermore, Craigslist seems to go out of its way to help law enforcement use the site as a tool to crack down on prostitution. Shutting that down won't stop the prostitution. It'll just drive it to sites that don't work as closely with law enforcement.
And that may now be happening. Late Friday, people started noticing that Craigslist had blocked the Adult Services section and replaced it with just a line that said boldly "censored."
In the meantime, people are pointing out that the ads from the adult services section are already migrating elsewhere on the site and there are lots of other sites ready to pick up the slack -- many of which have been much more explicit than anything on Craigslist ever was. Perhaps most ridiculous of all is that the Attorney General who has lead the grandstanding crusade against Craigslist, Richard Blumenthal from Connecticut still isn't happy, claiming that he's worried this is just a publicity stunt (which is kind of funny, seeing as pretty much everything Blumenthal has had to say about this case has been a publicity stunt.

David StrangwayStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Peter Adams Liberal Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, David Strangway retires as president of the Canada Foundation for Innovation this week. Dr. Strangway is an officer of the Order of Canada, a former president of UBC and a distinguished geologist who worked on moon rocks retrieved by the Apollo missions.
Since 1998, under his leadership, the CFI has transformed the research landscape in Canada. It has helped change research and development in institutions in every province. Some 3,208 projects in 115 institutions in 56 municipalities have benefited from CFI support. Its investments have helped recruit 3,000 new faculty, retain 3,000 more and attract about 9,000 graduate students.
In a very short time Dr. Strangway strengthened institutions large and small, and decentralized research across the country. He helped research institutes, universities and colleges. I particularly appreciate his support of smaller research centres, as well as larger ones, and his recognition of the importance of linkages between such centres.
On behalf of all members, I thank David Strangway for his service to Canada and wish him well with the Sea to Sky University project in Squamish, B.C.
Volunteer Emergency WorkersStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Vic Toews Canadian Alliance Provencher, MB
Mr. Speaker, a provincial inquest into the deaths of three Manitoba residents has determined that many rural Manitoba communities lack an acceptable level of resources to protect residents from the threat of fire. This ruling further underlines the need for the House to consider amendments to the Income Tax Act, such as the proposal to allow volunteer emergency workers to deduct $3,000 from their taxable income, as the Conservative members of Parliament for Lethbridge and South Shore have long advocated.
This move would not only recognize the importance of volunteer men and women in emergency services and Canada's dependence on their services, but it would go a long way in helping communities attract and retain volunteers. In a small way, it would compensate those courageous individuals for their important service to their community.
Insurance IndustryStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Liberal Bramalea—Gore—Malton—Springdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, many people across Canada have found the dramatic increases in insurance premiums to be quite debilitating. According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, insurance claims costs in Ontario were more than 50% higher during the last quarter of 2000 than during the last quarter of 1999. Last April, Statistics Canada reported that auto and home insurance premiums had risen 26.3% and 6.7% respectively.
In addition, there has been considerable coverage in the media addressing the great increase in the insurance industry's profits, which exceeded $2.6 billion in 2003. This is calculated to be almost 675% higher than the previous year.
Taking these numbers into consideration, I ask my colleagues in the chamber to become involved in working together federally and provincially in addressing this issue.
Arts and CultureStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Sarmite Bulte Liberal Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House that the Minister of Canadian Heritage has confirmed that the Government of Canada will continue to pursue its efforts in building the capacity of Canadian arts organizations through the renewal of the government's investment in arts and culture, known as "Tomorrow Starts Today", in the new fiscal year. After just three years, we are seeing extremely positive results of this initiative.
Through this program, the government is awarding an amount exceeding $9 million this year to qualified arts organizations across the country, matching every dollar raised from the private sector and deposited into an endowment fund. In three years Canada will have invested more than $20 million for that purpose, which leveraged $26 million from the private sector.
Together we can ensure that the organizations that contribute so much to the cultural life of our communities have the means to continue to do so.
User Fees ActStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Joe Fontana Liberal London North Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, democratic reform is alive and well in the House of Commons.
Today Bill C-212 will receive royal assent. This bill represents what can be achieved when MPs from all sides of the House and ministers collaborate to help great ideas become good government policy. The bill represents the long and hard work of the Liberal member for Etobicoke North, of whom we should all be proud.
The bill will bring greater transparency, accountability and parliamentary oversight to federal government departments and agencies when they attempt to recover costs through user fees. It will provide greater parliamentary oversight; greater stakeholder participation in the fee setting process; improved links between user fees and performance; and the requirement that a more comprehensive stakeholder impact and competitiveness analysis is done when new user fees, or fee increases, are contemplated.
Who says an individual member of Parliament cannot make a difference in this place?
Gertrude CrosbieStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Norman E. Doyle Progressive Conservative St. John's East, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the late Gertrude Crosbie of St. John's, who died on Saturday at age 78.
Mrs. Crosbie and her late husband Bill formed a local Cerebral Palsy Association in 1961 and opened Virginia Waters School for Children with Cerebral Palsy in 1968.
Gertrude Crosbie was a tireless volunteer with many causes: CNIB, YWCA, Meals on Wheels, the Newfoundland Historic Parks Association and the Maritime History Archives at Memorial University.
In recognition of her efforts on behalf of the community, Mrs. Crosbie was awarded an honorary doctorate from Memorial University and the Order of Canada.
I am sure all hon. members join me in passing on our condolences to her family and friends and our thanks for a life well lived in the service of her fellow citizens.
Wilbert KeonStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Eugène Bellemare Liberal Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to salute one of Canada's top visionaries and top cardiologist.
Dr. Wilbert Keon is the heart and soul of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Dr. Keon saved my life in 1996 when he performed emergency triple bypass surgery on me.
As a surgeon, a senator, a builder and an administrator, he consistently put people first.
Tomorrow, Dr. Keon hands over the reins of the internationally reputed Ottawa Heart Institute. It is a day that he will leave others to continue in his footsteps to continue to build on the research and administration of one of the world's top heart institutes.
The heart institute provides extraordinary care to Canadians, and does so in the country's two official languages.
Diane DescôteauxStatements By Members
March 31st, 2004 / 2:10 p.m.
Pauline Picard Bloc Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, for Diane Descôteaux, a poet from Bon-Conseil, the past few months have been quite memorable, with 10 of her poems winning awards on the other side of the Atlantic.
To name a few, she received the award of merit for unpublished works, won the Apollon d'or French literary competition, an honourable mention in the 2003 poetry competition, first prize in the classic, neo-classic sonnet category of the Millen'Arts Journal , the first Robert-Jolly award from the Société des poètes et artistes de France, and the bronze medal in classic poetry from the Académie européenne des Arts-France.
For 2004, the poet hopes her two new collections will be picked up by a publisher. For the rest, she will continue to write and keep writing for a long time.
I congratulate Diane Descôteaux for her excellent work and for the well-deserved recognition she has been given.
New Horizons ProgramStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Serge Marcil Liberal Beauharnois—Salaberry, QC
Mr. Speaker, our government recognizes the importance for Canadian communities of the so-called "social economy enterprises". Not only do we recognize the importance of these organizations, we also follow up with concrete action.
Indeed, in the 2004 budget, our government pledged to allocate $8 million in 2004-05 and $10 million annually thereafter to the New Horizons Program.
The New Horizons Program provides funding to seniors' groups for various projects that are dear to them. In so doing, it helps maximize the impact of the volunteer work done by our seniors across Canada.
Our country can take great pride in the fact that it can count on a large number of volunteers for whom retirement is not synonymous with inactivity and social disengagement. It is critical that our government support their initiatives.
Salvation Army International Staff BandStatements By Members

Canadian Alliance
Peter Goldring Canadian Alliance Edmonton Centre-East, AB
Mr. Speaker, today I have the distinct honour of welcoming, on behalf of the Conservative Party of Canada, an elite musical group to Ottawa.
Parliament Hill will soon resound to the resplendent brilliance of brass and stirring percussion of the world renowned Salvation Army International Staff Band.
The band, visiting Parliament Hill from London, England, will entertain and inspire all assembled at 3:15 today on the very steps of our House of Commons.
Formed in October 1891 by Commissioner Bramwell Booth, the band promotes the highest standards of the Salvation Army band excellence and spreads the message of the Christian gospel by presenting the best musical ministry.
I want to congratulate the bandmaster, Stephen Cobb, and all the members of the band who give freely of their time in addition to their commitment to their local church where many are involved in a leadership role.
I want to welcome them to Ottawa.
Kyoto ProtocolStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Karen Redman Liberal Kitchener Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, a Compas poll of over 500 senior corporate executives found that almost three-quarters of those interviewed in November and December 2002 supported Canada's commitment to the Kyoto protocol. Clearly, these business leaders understand that environmental challenges can be turned to advantage through leadership in green technologies, through more energy efficient transportation and housing, and through non-polluting industrial processes. This will stimulate new innovation, new market opportunities and cleaner communities.
In fact, since we ratified Kyoto, Canada's employment numbers rose by 334,000, the highest employment rate in Canadian history. The dollar rose from 64¢ to the 75¢ range. In the oil patch, drilling levels rose to an all time, high while profits were also at record levels.
Canadians are proving that what makes good sense for the environment is also good for the economy.
Violence Against WomenStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Alexa McDonough NDP Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, on April 7 we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. One million men, women and children, entire families, were brutally slaughtered while the world stood by.
Canada must do more to ensure that the world never forgets the Rwandan genocide.
Amnesty International's "Stop Violence Against Women" campaign points out that every day in our world women and girls particularly are assaulted, threatened, raped, mutilated and killed.
That is why the Canadian Committee on Women, Peace and Security, established to advance UN security resolution 1325, is important. It will increase women's participation in conflict prevention, peace processes and peace-building.
Violence against women is a global human rights crisis. We must end the silence that faces these women and girls when they attempt to seek justice, peace and genuine security.
Employment InsuranceStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Gérard Asselin Bloc Charlevoix, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, we will vote on a motion that I presented and which seeks to create a special status for seasonal workers, regardless of the economic region in which they live. Right now, many families from the North Shore and Charlevoix regions are without any income because the employment insurance program put in place by the Liberal government does not provide support to them.
Despite repeated requests to this effect, the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development is still refusing to meet with officials representing the Sans-Chemise and the Mouvement Action-Chômage, who are in Ottawa today to try once again to explain to the minister that the current situation is cruel and unacceptable for the unemployed, who are starving.
I am urging those hon. members who care about the plight of seasonal workers in their ridings to set aside their political differences and to support this motion, rather than abandoning the unemployed, who need their support more than ever.
In so doing, members will show that they are not complicit with the misappropriation of the employment insurance fund, and they will also show that their decisions are based first and foremost on the people whom they represent.
House of CommonsStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Clifford Lincoln Liberal Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, the eighth soccer tournament between pages and members of Parliament was held last night at the Ottawa police centre. The MPs won by a score of 5 to 3.
So far, the MPs have won six times and the pages twice.
I would like to begin by thanking the hon. member for Sackville—Musquodoboit Valley—Eastern Shore, the outstanding social director of the House of Commons and superlative organizer of the soccer tournament.
The pages team was led by highly skilled players like Mbimangil, Guillaume, Sabrina and Brent.
We would like all the pages to know how much we appreciate their sense of fun and sportsmanship but, above all, their untiring efforts on our behalf here.
For me it was also a nostalgic event. It was the last time I dragged my ancient bones onto the soccer field on the MPs team. It was also the last time I played defence along with my esteemed friend, the MP for Davenport. Together we represent some 1,000 years of life on this earth, or close to it.
Finally, but not least, Mr. Speaker, your presence was especially welcomed and appreciated. Thank you on behalf of all of us.
Government AppointmentsStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
James Moore Canadian Alliance Port Moody—Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, this Prime Minister's promise to end the democratic deficit is being abandoned.
Today we learned that the Prime Minister will appoint five Liberal candidates in British Columbia.
Among those the Prime Minister will appoint is former NDP premier, Ujjal Dosanjh, who was a senior cabinet minister in a scandal plagued NDP government that proved so unpopular that, under Dosanjh's leadership, only managed to elect 2 MLAs in the 79 seat B.C. legislature.
If this is the Prime Minister's response to B.C. alienation, he has proven that he, like all Liberals before him, fails to understand British Columbia.
Appointing candidates is precisely the kind of undemocratic elitism that Canadians want to see ended in politics. British Columbians will not be impressed by the Prime Minister's games and will punish the Liberals at the polls in the coming campaign.
However I would like to thank the Prime Minister for giving British Columbians and all Canadians one more reason to vote for the new Conservatives and against the Liberal government.

Canadian Alliance
Stephen Harper Canadian AllianceLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, before the Prime Minister runs out of town once again, I would like to observe what a disappointment his government has been.
He promised Canadians an ambitious agenda but all we have is empty plans and recycled legislation. Now he wants to bury all the important issues until after the next election, whether it is the judicial inquiry into sponsorship, the Arar inquiry, the gun registry review or his own plans for health care.
After more than a decade of coveting this job, how can the Prime Minister explain his total failure to offer an agenda?

Mr. Speaker, speaking of disappointment, given the fact that the democratic deficit has been so important and that this government has brought in ground-breaking measures time and time again, I would like to ask the Leader of the Opposition if his definition of the way to respond to the democratic need is by asking the chairman of the public accounts committee to systematically obstruct its work.
If it is his idea that the chairman of the public accounts committee should refuse to call witnesses, if the public accounts committee should stall on every major issue, it is not our view.

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to get to the bottom of the sponsorship scandal and instead we see today that he is undermining the chairman while he has been blocking the release of documents, hurrying to get a whitewashed, premature report, and his own public inquiry has not even started yet.
How can the Prime Minister explain his total failure to accept accountability for the sponsorship scandal?

Paul Martin LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, with regard to the release of documents, why has the chairman of the public accounts committee refused to allow the testimony of Mr. Guité to be made public? Why did they vote against it yesterday? Why has he refused to call witnesses who are prepared to come? Why has he ridiculed witnesses who have been there? Why has he trampled on civil liberties? Is he doing it on the Leader of the Opposition's instructions?

Mr. Speaker, the public accounts committee would not have to do it all itself if the Prime Minister were trying to get to the bottom of this scandal.
Let me ask about another failure, the failure to fix the democratic deficit. No real reform at committees, instead the same old games the government is playing with public accounts. The government invoked closure in the House after only six days. There is no reform or election of Senators. He is driving opponents out of his party, appointing candidates and playing with the election date as a personal political football.
How does the Prime Minister explain his total failure to implement even a single, meaningful democratic reform?
The Prime MinisterOral Question Period

Paul Martin LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition is right, the chairman of the public accounts committee is not doing it on his own. He is doing it with the connivance of every other single member of the Alliance Conservatives and sitting in that seat.
The fact is that Canadians want to get to the bottom of this. Liberals want to get to the bottom of the matter but they are being obstructed by the Alliance Conservatives who are afraid of the truth. The fact is we want the parliamentary system to work. We want Parliament and committees to work and the one committee that is being headed up by the Alliance is turning into a farce because its leader will not allow it to function.

Yuppers...it's that time of year again.
I know, I know. They use to be awesome but now they sort of suck. The thing is...you get what you pay for and it never hurts to have an extra one laying around for a loaner. I've had a later gen 11x11 greenie that has held up just fine from last season- just buy some seam sealer with it and coat heavily. ALSO inspect the one you get- send it back if it has defects...sportsmanguide is great about returns.

Nov. 9, 2008
NORTON, Mass. – The Engineers returned to Balfour Natatorium for the second consecutive week and left with another convincing effort showcasing Tech's strength in the New England region. MIT defeated league-rival Wheaton College in the season's first dual meet, 165-95.
The Engineers enjoyed a terrific start after taking the top three spots in the 200 medley relay. Freshman Ryan TerBush, junior Rastislav Racz, senior Laurent Charpentier, and junior Luke Cummings combined to swim 1:38.30 for the victory with Charpentier's fly split of 23.58 highlighting the effort.
MIT was even more dominant in the afternoon's first individual event. Led by sophomore Michael Dobson, who swam 10:12.53, the Engineers swept the top four places in the 1000-yard free. The first two events set the tone for the day as the Engineers produced the four-fastest swims in the 200 free before sweeping the top three places in the 100 back and 100 breast. Charpentier split 1:47.60 to pace the attack in the 200 free while rookie Tim Stumbaugh and Racz grabbed the top spot in the back and breast, respectively. Stumbaugh's winning split of 54.16 provided an especially solid early-season swim.
Stumbaugh, who later in the meet produced the fifth-best 200 back time in MIT lore (1:58.76), led another 1-2-3 finish while Racz paced a similar effort in the 200 breast.
By the time the meet reached the 500 free, the scoring was over as the Engineers (1-0) had ensured their first win of the campaign. MIT supplied the fastest swim in every event, while freshmen Chao He delivered victories in both diving events.
Cummings enjoyed another big day as he factored into four victories: 200 medley relay, 50 free, 100 free, and 200 free relay. The Engineers also received encouraging performances from their strong rookie class. Jim Griffin and Andrew Pierson each split 2:02 lead a strong contingent of first-year performers in the 200 individual medley.

Democratic Rep. Joseph Brennan was arrested in August after police said he punched and choked his wife at their Fountain Hill home, then drove away drunk. It was his second DUI arrest in two years.
Brennan dropped his re-election bid and pleaded guilty to simple assault and drunken driving as a second offense. He was first elected in 2006.
At the request of his wife, Brennan avoided prison on the simple assault charge. He pleaded for home confinement on the DUI charge, saying a prison term would jeopardize his new job as a research analyst with the House Democratic Caucus. Lehigh County Chief of Prosecutions Stephen Van Natten told Judge Maria L. Dantos that prosecutors were not opposed to the request.
But the judge on Thursday ordered Brennan to report to Lehigh County Prison on Monday to begin a three- to 23-month sentence, rejecting Brennan's argument that prison would pose a financial hardship on his family.
"It's a hardship for every defendant who stands before me," the judge said. "The sentence stands."
House Democratic Caucus spokesman Bill Patton said Thursday that Brennan will be placed on unpaid leave from his $72,000-a-year job, and his "status will be reviewed" once he is released from prison.
Brennan said after a 2011 drunken driving arrest that he was experiencing a "long and personal struggle with alcohol."

Leave it to uber-bear Marc Faber to bring bad news on Black Friday.
Faber, editor and publisher of The Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, told CNBC on Friday he believes a "massive speculative bubble" has encroached on everything from stocks and bonds to bitcoin and farmland. He attributed the vast bubble to "symptoms of excess liquidity."
Faber said the markets, which have reached record highs, could still rise before the bubble bursts, if stimulus programs such as the Federal Reserve's massive monthly bond purchases and super-low interest rates continue.
"Now can the market go up another 20 percent before it tumbles?" Faber said on "Squawk Box". "Yeah, it can go up even more, if you print money."

The Rhode Island Community Action Association (RICAA) is asking Rhode Island residents who receive a needs assessment survey from the organization to please complete it and help the organization better understand the needs of the state.
Beginning Sept. 18, 10,000 Rhode Island households will receive the survey, which will look at the needs of the state as it relates to areas such as health care, transportation, nutrition, employment, childcare, activities for teens, independent living, educational services, housing and debt.
Which households receive the survey is completely random and one's participation with RICAA agencies and programs does not have any bearing on if they will or will not receive a survey. Individual survey results will be kept confidential, and no personal information such as name, salary or place of employment will be asked.
"We decided Rhode Island, because of our size, was the perfect place to do a statewide needs assessment," said Paula McFarland, spokesperson for RICAA. McFarland said in addition to the surveys mailed to residents, a separate survey will be available at Community Action agencies such as Warwick's Westbay Community Action Program, Cranston's Comprehensive Community Action Program and Tri-Town Community Action Program in Johnston. RICAA will also be hosting focus groups to discuss the needs of the state and how the various programs offered can better suit those needs.
McFarland explained that using both surveys and focus groups allows for qualitative and quantitative data to be collected and included in the study.
"They are looking to develop or enhance programs they do have," explained McFarland, adding that a report will be created from the surveys and given to federal, state and local leaders to consider when creating public policy. "It could also show a need for something new."
McFarland said needs assessment surveys often show that current programs need to be tweaked in their delivery so they better serve the communities that need them. For example, McFarland expects increased transportation needs in Woonsocket to be featured in the report.
"It builds a platform for policy changes in our state," said McFarland, who pointed out that since the pool of funding has decreased due to the sequester, many states are conducting assessments such as this to determine which programs need the most support.
Also, it is a requirement of the Community Service Block Grant that needs assessment surveys, whether statewide or community-based, are conducted every three years. McFarland said those grants are issued through the Office of Community Service and drive the funding mechanism for the organization.
The surveys will also look at the general public's knowledge of Community Action programs and agencies.
"[Questions could include] what kind of services are they using, what services do they need and do they understand," said McFarland, pointing out that some people may be in need of a program but not realize that it is offered through a RICAA agency.
"It's not personal information," added McFarland, pointing out that RICAA is interested in knowing what programs are lacking in the communities, whether it is health care assistance, transportation help, access to GED programs or even after-school activities for teenagers to keep them off the streets.
The survey is being sent to a large number of households because RICAA hopes to find out the needs of the state from a very broad group of the population.
"We would like to see 30 percent [of the surveys] sent back," said McFarland. "That would be a really fantastic return."
While all surveys will be mailed in English, information written in Spanish will be included with the survey explaining how to obtain a Spanish language survey if necessary.

WASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Top Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee on Monday urged budget negotiators to agree on spending levels for two years by Dec. 2 so that Congress can pass annual spending bills and avoid another government shutdown.
Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers and 12 subcommittee chairs warned in a letter that failure to agree on spending caps could lead to another shutdown and waste the committee's efforts.
"If a timely agreement is not reached, the likely alternatives could have extremely damaging repercussions," the lawmakers said in their letter to House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan and Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray.
Ryan and Murray are currently holding closed-door talks to try to reach consensus on easing automatic spending cuts that would take a $91 billion bite out of 2014 spending on federal agencies and discretionary programs. They are racing against a Jan. 15 deadline, when spending authority for programs ranging from the military to education expires.
The talks were commissioned under a deal to end a 16-day government shutdown in October that was prompted by a similar funding expiration.
Reaching a two-year deal would require significantly more savings in other areas and would be more difficult to reach, as Republicans have refused to consider increased tax revenues and Democrats have resisted major cuts to federal benefits programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
But the Appropriations Committee Republicans said that it was important to address funding for fiscal 2015 to avoid a major logjam in the passage of spending bills next year due to automatic "sequester" cuts.
Congress has not passed normal spending bills since 2009, funding the government since then through temporary and stop-gap measures known as continuing resolutions, often with shutdown threats.
"Failure to agree on a common spending cap for FY 2015 will guarantee another year of confusion," the Appropriations Committee members wrote.
