With just over a week until election day, Boston voters remain flummoxed by the crowded mayoral race, with City Councilor John R. Connolly holding a slight edge in a field so tightly bunched and volatile that as many as nine candidates have a plausible shot at the final, a Globe poll shows.
Connolly, who registered 13 percent in the survey, is a few points ahead of a tight cluster of candidates that includes former city housing chief Charlotte Golar Richie, who polled just ahead of state Representative Martin J. Walsh and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.
The field is so closely clustered that nine candidates fell within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points, giving many campaigns a shot at becoming one of the two top vote-getters who advance to the decisive final election. That includes political newcomers John F. Barros and Bill Walczak, along with City Councilors Rob Consalvo, Felix G. Arroyo, and Michael P. Ross.
The poll found a splintered and unengaged electorate that is largely unfamiliar with the candidates in Boston's first open race for mayor in a generation. With so many undecided voters, none of the 12 candidates has been able to emerge as a commanding leader in the first stage of the race, which culminates with the preliminary election Sept. 24.
"This race is really up in the air," said Andrew E. Smith, director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, which conducted the poll of 411 likely voters from Sept. 5 through Thursday. "Nobody is out of the hunt. Almost everybody has a chance of winning this thing."
The poll offers proof that no candidate has caught fire in this crowded field. There has been no memorable turning point, no oft-repeated quote or frequently played clip, not even a commercial that has seemed to sway voters.
The results underscored the belief of political observers that the race will come down to a house-by-house fight over friends and neighbors. Campaigns estimate that 20,000 to 25,000 votes could be enough to win a spot in the final.
As evidence of just how fluid the race remains, Smith pointed to the apparently shifting fortunes of candidates during the time his pollsters were doing their work — changes that sometimes tracked positive and negative news coverage. During the first four days of polling, Golar Richie was the choice of 14 percent of respondents; in the second four days, she'd fallen to 5 percent of those polled during that period.
Consalvo fell from 7 percent in the first half of polling to 4 percent during the second half. But Barros surged in the second half, from 3 percent to 9 percent. Ross jumped from 4 percent to 7 percent. And Connolly increased from 12 percent to almost 17 percent.
"The race is so fluid that somebody could go from 4 or 5 percent to maybe coming in second place," Smith said.
This wasn't, the pollster stressed, a sign of a rapid rise or decline as much as it indicates a volatile electorate just getting acquainted with a group of mostly little-known candidates.
The survey found that only one-fourth of likely voters had definitely settled on a candidate. The sheer volume of choices has proven daunting, Smith said, and discouraged voters from engaging in the race. The poll found that Connolly was the most recognizable candidate in the field and yet still was unknown to 32 percent of respondents. Six candidates were so little known that more than half of respondents could not form an opinion.
"It's hard to get your head around so many candidates," said Zak Mertz, a 24-year-old educator at New England Wildlife Center who lives in Brighton and remains undecided. "It's especially hard after having such a well-known mayor in place for so long."
Mayor Thomas M. Menino has held office for 20 years and dominated the city's political scene, leaving little room for potential successors to gain notice. Polls have repeatedly found that more than half of Boston's residents have met Menino personally, a testament to his governing style and penchant for ribbon cuttings.
Since Menino announced in late March he would not seek a sixth term, candidates have crisscrossed the city to introduce themselves to voters. More than half of those polled said they had met at least one candidate running for mayor.
Connolly initially challenged Menino and launched his bid in February, giving him an early start that seems to have paid dividends. The poll found that 28 percent of likely voters had met Connolly, the highest of any candidate. Conley has been district attorney for more than a decade, and he had met the second highest number of likely voters, followed by Arroyo, an at-large city councilor.
Connolly also had the highest favorability rating, with a relatively small percentage who said they would not vote for him. Support for the at-large city councilor was relatively broad, cutting across age, gender, ethnic, income, and neighborhood lines. Connolly's slight lead jumped to 15 percent — five points ahead of the next cluster of candidates — when likely voters who are undecided were asked whom they are leaning toward.
"I think John Connolly is above and beyond the best candidate," said Jim Henry, a 55-year-old teacher from West Roxbury who participated in the poll. "His main platform is on education and improving the schools of Boston. I support that 100 percent."
The survey found Golar Richie with 9 percent of support, slightly ahead of Walsh and Conley, who each had 8 percent. Golar Richie's lead was statistically insignificant, although it marked her best showing in a public poll.
They are trailed narrowly by Consalvo (with 6 percent); Barros, Arroyo, and Ross (each with 5 percent); Walczak (4 percent); City Councilor Charles C. Yancey (2 percent); Charles L. Clemons Jr. (1 percent); and David James Wyatt (below 1 percent).
"I'm going to vote for Charlotte Golar Richie," said Lisa Green, a 45-year-old mother of two who lives in the North End. "I like her range of experience. She's taken positions on women's issues and education that I agree with."
But Green is worried Golar Richie's campaign is not getting her in front of enough voters. On two occasions, Golar Richie gave speeches in the North End, and Green said she would have attended but was not aware of the events. In contrast, Green said she is inundated by information about Connolly, who has strong support in her social circle among young families in the North End, Charlestown, and downtown.
"He's everywhere," said Green, who doesn't think Connolly is ready to be mayor. "He's like taking your groceries out of the supermarket. He's everywhere. I've seen him at least three times. I've seen [Golar Richie] once, but I really had to" seek her out.
Conley is a Democrat but did particularly well among voters who identified themselves as Republicans. He is relatively well known across Boston but drew his largest share of support from the southwest corner of the city, which includes his home neighborhood of West Roxbury. One supporter is Paul Mishkin, an attorney who has gotten a glimpse of Conley's management style through his interactions with the Suffolk County district attorney's office.
"I'm very impressed with the caliber of people he has working for him," said Mishkin, a 65-year-old who lives in Brighton and also found a substantive discussion of issues on Conley's campaign website.
The poll found that Walsh, the nine-term legislator from Dorchester, is not quite as well known as Connolly and Conley. Walsh is also a Democrat but did well among people who identified as independents.
"He's got a good union background," said Jack Gallahue, a 60-year-old retiree who lives in Neponset and considered Consalvo before settling on Walsh. "With that casino coming to Suffolk Downs, it's going to be important for labor to have a strong voice."
City Councilor Charles C. Yancey is the only candidate who is running for mayor and reelection to the City Council. Four other councilors gave up their seats to run for mayor. Yancey is relatively well known, according to the poll, but also had the largest share of people who had an unfavorable opinion of him. Yancey registered the highest percentage of respondents who said they would not vote for him.
The poll found the most important issue facing Boston is crime and violence, followed by school quality. There has been a slight improvement in the perception of Boston Public Schools in the last five years, but 56 percent of respondents rated the schools as fair to very poor. The survey found one-fourth of residents said the best way to improve city schools was to add more charter schools, followed by a return to neighborhood schools and more leeway for principals. Respondents were split on whether the Boston Teachers Union has helped or hurt public education. Nineteen percent said the union had improved schools, while 18 percent said the union hampered quality. The remaining respondents said the union made little difference or they did not know its impact.
Nearly half of Bostonians supported Suffolk Downs's effort to develop a casino at the East Boston track, while 37 percent opposed it. But two out of three residents said they believed the entire city should be allowed to vote on the casino proposal, a view at odds with many elected officials and the majority of candidates running for mayor. State law allows the vote to be limited to East Boston or to be expanded citywide.
Public sentiment on issues is easier to pinpoint than a candidate-by-candidate matchup. Polling is particularly difficult in the race because there are so many candidates, Smith said. "What happens over the final week of the campaign, and the organizational strength of the candidates, will be deciding factors," Smith said. "It will come down to the boots they have on the ground to motivate people to get to the polls and the amount of money they have for advertising."Andrew Ryan can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Topic: timed and untimed parking
Posted: 07/November/2017 at 11:42
My workplace fronts onto a council off street parking area. There is room for about 30 cars. When viewed from the street, 15 car parking bays are on the left and another 15 on the right. The bays on the left are timed parking for 2 hours from 9am to 6pm and those on the right have no time restriction.
I parked in the timed zone at around 9:45am, unloaded my car, made one or two calls to customers, made a cup of tea and then moved my car to the other side of the car park. Directly opposite and a total of about 10 metres away. Around 2pm I moved the car back to the timed area to reload some heavy equipment into the car ( My front door is directly outside ). Went inside to pack up my computer and shut the windows. When I returned to the car I had a ticket under the wiper saying that I had overstayed the time limit. Alleged offence between 10:14 and 14:08.
I emailed the council and explained what actually happened. Their only response was to send me a photo of a chalk mark on my tyre. I emailed them again and reiterated my position and pointed out to them that the car had only travelled a total distance of 10m and back to the same position so of course the chalk wouldn't rub off. Needless to say they were not interested and my only option was to have it heard in court.
The ticket is only $110, far smaller than the cost of taking a day off and paying the costs of any witnesses. May I ask you the following:
1. If I choose the court option, what chances do I have in recovering the cost for the day and the cost of bringing witnesses?
2. Is it normal practice for council to force the court option knowing that most people would just pay up and not bother?
3. Are there any other avenues except wasting an entire day in court?
Thanks for a great web forum by the way.

1. You won't be able to claim you or your witnesses time.
2. You can't really say that that is their intent (but you may be right). It's normal practice to take a dispute to court.
3. Unless you had, or access to, photographic evidence to back you up then I think paying the fine is going to be the cheapest and quickest way to close the matter (even though you are innocent).
I don't work for council by the way.
That's a very unusual and unfortunate way you ended up getting the fine. The inspector was just doing his/her job.

I agree with the previous response and would suggest that your only hope is that there are in fact two photos that council took, one at the time of marking and a second at the time of booking, it would virtually impossible for the mark to be in the same position on both photos. Even looking at where the mark has been placed on the tyre might give some indication of how and when it was placed, and I'm assuming the same parking space in the timed zone was used on both occasions.
Beyond that well, hope they fill a pothole with your money.

Before you decide on the court option it might pay to check the actual parking rules that apply, for instance in my area I am only allowed to park in a specific timed area once per day.

I moved the car forward 10m then moved the car back 10m some time later. Of course the chalk would be in the same place.
Anyway, I've selected the court option. The kind tenant next door to me has given me footage from their security camera that clearly shows my actions. Can even see the parking officer putting the chalk on. No first photo.

Did you check for the parking rule that citizen-joe mentioned - if this is the case then you won't win the dispute. Also, what do you mean by "no first photo"?

Yep check rules.
Our state that you can only park for 2 hour limit (and in small print) once per 24 hour period.
So the second time you parked might have breached the rules.

The sign of the front after checking says "2 hours per day in some sections of the carpark". I wasn't in the 2 hour section for anything even close to two hours. Just my luck there'll be some obscure rule somewhere.

I think, being pedantic, with the video, you still have a valid case, if the rule is that you can park for a maximum of 2 hour over any 24 hour period, you should be able to calculate how long you were parked on each of the two occasions. The parking inspector cannot say that you were there continuously for two hours on any single occasion, unless he can show, beyond a reasonable doubt, that his mark was in "exactly" the same spot during both visits which would suggest you hadn't moved, something the video will disprove. Which is why I suggest the inspector should have taken two photos showing the before and after 2 hour position of the mark. Even moving straight back and straight forward again the marks will be in slightly different positions.

The relevant part of Rule 205 of the Australian Road Rules is as follows:
205 Parking for longer than indicated
(1) A driver must not park continuously on a length of road, or in an area, to which a permissive parking sign applies for longer than the period indicated by information on or with the sign or, if rule 206 applies to the driver, the period allowed under that rule.
(2) For subrule (1), a driver parks continuously on a length of road, or in an area, to which a permissive parking sign applies, from the time when the driver parks on the length of road, or in the area, until the driver, or another driver, moves the vehicle off the length of road, or out of the area, to which the permissive parking sign applies.
Sub-rule (2) defines 'continuously'.
As you did not move your vehicle 'out of the area' of the carpark you are deemed to have parked in the carpark continuously regardless of where you move your vehicle in that carpark.
Thus, if you parked in the 2 hour zone for 1.5 hours and the unlimited zone for 1 hour then moved back into the 2 hour zone, you would be deemed to have parked in the 2 hour zone for 2.5 hours.
In order break the continuity you would need to drive out of the carpark and then back in again.

At last I have a hearing date on 5th April. Magistrate will allow the video. Just wondering if anybody knows how I obtain the brief of evidence from the prosecution. I tried the council but they fobbed me off.
Not Guilty, I did actually move the car from the timed area to the untimed area. The amount of time in the 2 hour zone would have been about 30 minutes at the most.

The Cake Shoppe needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
The Cake Shoppe
I have a passion for making cakes! I recently graduated from culinary school as a Pastry Chef with a dream to open my own bakery/cake shop. I am currently in the process of opening up my own cake shop and I need a logo to help launch my new business. I love doing fun and crazy topsy turvy cakes!
I would like to target the younger families, the young couples that are getting married, having kids, or already have kids. I really enjoy doing birthday cakes and shower cakes. I feel that I use my creativity the best when making the fun birthday cakes. I also like creating elegant wedding cakes.
I have two different styles of logos that I am leaning towards. I like pink and brown, but also like pink and black. Leaning more towards Pink and Brown. I would also like my logo to be interchangable with the colors... if thats possible. The first look I like is one with more elegance and a more chic look. I like the scroll designs with swirls and such, cursive writing. The other look I like is more modern, clean and simple. I have attached four pictures of logos that I like. I tried to capture the two different looks that I like. I would like to stay away from cupcakes in the designs. For my business I focus more on tiered cakes.

WitP-AE is THE magnum opus of all wargames, a true masterpiece of research and detail. The game is not for the faint of heart, however. It is easy to become intimidated by the depth and scope of the game which covers the entire Pacific war from the West Coast USA, westward to the tip of the horn of Africa. You'll be in command of every ship, plane and ground unit that participated in the war. The attention to detail is astounding. Virtually every conceivable aspect of the war is modeled in the game down to the effect of radar, weather, disease, intel reports, drop tanks, resource production, repair ships... Every unit, whether it be aviation engineers, landing barges or float planes plays its own significant and special role in achieving victory. It's all in there and everything serves its purpose as you fight your way across a vast map encompasing almost 1/2 the entire globe.
The massive scale of this game can be a bit intimidating, but once you grasp the basics things move along very smoothly.
This is by far the best and most detailed simulation I have ever played.
Absolutely the best game I have ever played. IF you are looking for a game that taxes your organizational skills this is the game for you. The pacific war was a war of logistics and this game proves it. Love it.
Gems like this keep me investing money in games trying to find hits.
It took less than 30 minutes for me to determine that this game is so bogged down in minutiae that it is unplayable for all realistic purposes. The land order of battle is hopelessly overrun with anti-aircraft and more engineers than you shake a stick at. Every ship in the game is an individual unit. Capital ships I can see, but PT boats, AP's and AK's? To top it all off, with one-day turns, it will take almost as long to play the full war scenario as the real Pacific War took to fight. I spent 50 bucks on this game and uninstalled the game the same afternoon. Avoid this like the plague.
1st, the combat report on WIP is better than WIPAE.
2nd, spotting reports should show on the map but not reported.
3rd, if historic schenario, Russians should be skipped (computer controlled).
4th, get rid of "replacing pilots" - especially for the allies. (wastes time).
5th, clarification on ships - Local Minesweepers (cannot escort convoys)have more range than normal minesweepers which cannot escort convoys very far. "x" designator - I have no problem ignoring them. ML (Harbor?) Motor Launch has more range than PT boats and are really useless.
Basically the games needs to be cleaned up.
One of the best war games ever. I truley enjoyed the attention to detail. Well done. 5 Stars.
I first was exposed to the original WitP many years ago (don't remember the computer it was on) and enjoyed the game a lot, especially since my Dad had fought in WWII in the Pacific. Lost touch with it for years until a friend told me about WitP-AE. This is a great game and portrays the diffultly on both sides of fighting in a area covering half of the world. There is one thing that is a bit of a problem. Using the Historical first move in 3 day turn mode, the game engine should alow the Allies to react and the Japanese to then set up for starting the 3 day per move option. The game would
have a better start.

Sandra Bullock and the East Carolina Playhouse
The East Carolina Playhouse
Source: East Carolina University Archives UA28.01
Staff Person: Brooke Tolar
Description: Today's post features an original program for Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters as presented by the East Carolina Playhouse. This 1985 production cast list includes future Oscar-winning Actress and ECU alumni, Sandra Bullock. Visit Joyner Library's Digital Collections page to view digitized images of items featured in this post.
The East Carolina Playhouse began as the Teachers Playhouse during the mid-1940s. This campus organization was initially designed to "give its members practical experience" and "promote an enthusiasm for the drama in all its phases (1949 Tecoan, p. 105 https://digital.lib.ecu.edu/15354)." Over the years, the Playhouse's popularity increased, as did student participation. Campus yearbooks often boasted successful seasons, paying homage to the actors and actresses involved.
Sandra Bullock and The Playhouse
Sandra Bullock enrolled at East Carolina University in the early 1980s, by which time the Playhouse served as a well-established campus organization. She landed starring roles in several Playhouse productions during her college years. In The Three Sisters, Bullock played Irina, the youngest of three Russian sisters seeking deliverance from unexceptional, small-town lives. Additionally, she starred as Jean in Stage Door (1983) and as Tiger Lily in Peter Pan (1985). Interestingly, another noteworthy ECU alumni, future filmography icon Kevin Williamson, acted alongside Bullock in her 1985 Playhouse performances.

Classic card game Top Trumps is spearheading a new initiative designed to show today's school kids that they can aspire to become the next Jonathan Ive or Mark Zuckerberg.
Announcing the initiative, creator Rockpack notes that while he now lives in San Francisco, Sir Jonathan Ive was actually born in Chingford, East London, and suggests that: "Emulating Apple's design genius is not an impossible dream."
"We want to teach kids about the people behind the amazing technologies they use everyday," explains the company, which has produced the latest Top Trumps pack for the National Schools Tournament.
The Digital Heroes Top Trumps pack will celebrate those individuals that have done most to shape our bold and vibrant digital world, claims Rockpack. The theme is "internet safety and digital heroes".
"The Top Trumps pack will provide children with a set of readily identifiable role models," claims the company, adding: "Studying Mark Zuckerberg and the origins of Facebook, for example, can lead to a conversation with kids about online profiles and the importance of not sharing too much personal information online."
The Tournament features over 3,000 schools, with a potential reach of 300,000 children, aged 7-11. Registering for the Top Trumps National Schools Tournament is free, more information here.

Lauren Alaina Covers U2's 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For,' Raps Jason Aldean's 'Dirt Road Anthem'
Lauren Alaina ventured way outside of her set list to reward an auditorium full of hard-working high school students in suburban Virgina last week. During a visit to James River High School in Midlothian, Va., the 17-year-old singer sampled hits by U2 and Jason Aldean.
Alaina has been a regular duet partner of Aldean's lately, singing Kelly Clarkson's parts on 'Don't You Wanna Stay.' In the video below (at about the eight minute mark) -- after the 'American Idol' runner-up sings U2's hit 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' -- she takes on 'Dirt Road Anthem.' Much to the audience's surprise, she nails the rap verses while stumbling through a chorus that seems more suited to her talents.
It probably doesn't help that she has three intentionally distracting students onstage with her. The singer had pulled two of the three to her side for a dance contest. They copy her feminine dance moves (when did she learn to shake her hips like that?) before busting out their own over-the-top breakdowns. At one point, she loses her place in the 'Wildflower' song 'One of the Boys.' The students are hamming it up big time.
All the joking must have had the intended effect on Alaina, as one boy asks her to prom and she doesn't exactly say no. "I tell you what, I will think about it," she answers to the delight of the crowd at JRHS.
Alaina's visit was the a reward for collecting the most toys during the 94.9 Star Country Toy Mountain toy drive. According to MjsBigBlog.com, Alaina visited the school on Jan. 24, between tour stops on the Aldean tour. After a weekend off, the singer will return to the big stage this Thursday in Oklahoma City, Okla.

As we hop on the bike this weekend for our time-honored and traditional trip to the Fly-In in Greenville, we feel that familiar late-summer twinge reminding us that there are so many adventures upon which we planned to embark this summer that remain unexplored that we'd better start making some serious fall plans.
Every summer our bucket list seems to grow rather than shrink, and September and early October always get crammed full with those last-minute excursions that have been quietly and patiently waiting in the wings.
Fly-In weekend is the perfect kickoff for fall, for us, as we get a chance to reconnect with lots of biking/flying/skiing friends that we know will always be in Greenville for the colorful early September event.
Just drinking in the view up Moosehead as float planes, one after the other, drift down over the town and partake in traditional competitions like spot landing and target bombing makes the traditional excursion to Greenville worth the trip.
Kayaks and canoes skitter around the harbor, and food vendors offer up irresistible goodies along with local and not-so-local arts and crafts.
We always turn the visit into a trip of about 250 miles, as we head across to Jackman through Rockwood, counting on the likelihood of a moose and even an occasional bear spotting.
Then it's south on Route 201 with a stop at the scenic vista over Attean Pond, a Gifford's ice cream in Skowhegan, and home.
Our September/October list of adventures yet to be embarked upon this year includes a few old fall favorites and some much-anticipated new ones.
Among our must-do revisits before the snows start to fly is the short hike into Angel Falls over in western Maine, usually reserved for a fall foliage ride from Oquossoc to Mexico on Route 17, as well as a ride up (or down) through Evans Notch in the Maine section of the White Mountain National Forest.
That trip is often combined with our traditional opening day presence at the Fryeburg Fair, this year on the Sept. 29.
A ride around Cape Rosier is a late-summer must for us, and this year we'll plan to take the kayaks along, perhaps launching in Castine for the easy paddle across to the Holbrook Island Sanctuary.
We've neglected Borestone Mountain this summer, our excuse being that there have just been too many other places worth the trip to visit since May, and a fall climb is always a treat. So a late September hike is on the docket, and our hope this year is to combine it with an ascent of Barren Mountain on the nearby Appalachian Trail, as my last hike up that particular mountain was so long ago I can barely remember it.
So much for some of our oft-repeated revisits.
New during the next couple of months, the trips on which I'll be reporting will include a paddle, perhaps in the Stillwater canoe, on Big Musquash Stream north of Calais. (See Maine Atlas, Map #35).
I'll be unable to participate in the Down East Lakes Land Trust's support of the Great Maine Outdoor Weekend on a planned paddle on Sept. 29, as it conflicts with the aforementioned opening day of the Fryeburg Fair. That said, I'd encourage every paddler reading this to get more info from Mark Berry at www.downeastlakes.org about his organization's planned trip. Even if you don't have your own watercraft, arrangements can be made, I'm told. It sounds like a fun and educational day on a very unique stretch of Down East water.
I'll be headed that way in the next couple of weeks to enjoy an oft-postponed 6-mile paddle on a stream that flows for much of its length through a broad, treeless valley, and is at least 100 feet across for much of its length.
Characteristic pointed firs found in such abundance in the northern boreal forest stand like sentinels along the way, interspersed with birches, aspen and red maples that I expect will have started to turn on my upcoming trip.
Later this fall, a short but inviting kayak trip will put me on a pond that is very familiar to me, but into which I've never dipped a paddle. Gilman Pond, just a short distance from a farm I once owned in New Portland, is the perfect place to launch for a 6-mile round trip from the pond itself down Gilman Stream to the bridge where Route 16 crosses in North New Portland.
Although there's no public and official launch site on the pond, I'm told you can put in at the now-defunct Gilman Pond Campground near the south end reachable via the Gilman Pond Road that leads from Route 16 only about a mile from North New Portland on the way to Kingfield.
So, I don't know about you, but the next couple of months are shaping up for me to be some of the most fun I've had in the great Maine outdoors all summer.

About Us
Who We Are
- In 2010 Raul Ballester '11 and Sean Cooney '12, undergraduate students in the Andreas School of Business, designed, developed and submitted a proposal for a Student Managed Investment Fund
- In the fall of 2011, SMIF was officially launched
- As described in the Founding Proposal, the emphasis of the fund is that it is student managed
- The students are currently managing $500,000 portfolio
Investment Philosophy
The fundamental premise on which the SMIF investment philosophy is based is that prices for asset classes and individual securities may deviate over short horizons from their fundamental values due to a variety of factors. We believe opportunities exist to find improperly valued asset classes and securities due to this phenomenon. The SMIF employs internal research, including quantitative models and techniques, as well as qualitative judgments and external research designed to identify these asset classes and securities that are undervalued, yet continue to exhibit strong long-term fundamentals. With a disciplined implementation of our valuation model and market analyses, the SMIF strategy seeks to reap rewards beyond those of passive benchmarks without incurring more risk.
Furthermore, the SMIF believes remaining ahead of the technological curve ensures its competitiveness and analytical edge. Technology remains at the heart of the investment profession, and continually embracing newer technologies allows the SMIF to perform its operations and duties to the endowment fund in an easier, more efficient and accurate manner.
The fundamental purposes of the SMIF are to provide clear expectations regarding investment strategies; to generate a return in order to support the operating expenses and capital expenditures by both the SMIF and Barry University; to contribute to community well - being by providing financial literacy programs; and to add to the overall growth of the Barry University Endowment Fund. The SMIF is poised to conduct its business with the same professional standards as the other investment firms that the endowment fund has hired.
Risk Tolerance
As one manager of the Barry University Endowment, the Student Managed Investment Fund will invest for an overall low level of risk in the portfolio. The main driver for the Fund's risk aversion is the possibility of diminishing the funds value below the principal investment.

The A. Smith Bowman Distillery, out of Frederiksburg, VA, has been producing some excellent products in recent years. Owned by Sazerac since 2003, Bowman sources Buffalo Trace new make distillate and re-distills it at the distillery for a total of three distillations (reportedly). They age the whiskey on premises and recently opened a visitors center onsite.
A. Smith Bowman produces a Rye, a Small Batch Bourbon, Single Barrel Bourbon, rum, vodka, gin, and a number of limited release whiskeys. Last year I reviewed a barrel strength rye that was one of the best rye's I tasted all year (2011).
Today I'll be digging into the Small Batch Bourbon.
Bowman Brothers Pioneer Spirit Small Batch Bourbon, 45% abv (90 Proof), $29.99/bottle
Color: Light-Medium Amber
Nose: Brown sugar, sorghum syrup, sweet cinnamon, red apple, and moderate oak influence.
Palate: Well balanced sweetness (brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla) with ample sharp spice notes (pepper, cinnamon, and all spice).
Finish: A shade dry and spicy. Charred wood bitterness and cinnamon with a touch of maple sweetness.
Overall: Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon is a whiskey of very good quality. It offers a balance of sweetness and spice. I cannot say it's very full flavored, nor is it complex, but it's a damn fine sipper that offers some classic bourbon flavors. If you favor zippier bourbons, this one would certainly please you with its well defined wood/barrel sugars and spices.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.4 (Very Good)

Localytics has recently compiled some of their data through apps, and has concluded that only 6% of iPad sessions are made through a cellular network of some kind. They've also figured out that 89.7% of iPads out there are Wi-Fi-only, while 1.5% are the LTE-enabled new iPads. Even among new iPads, only 36% of the sessions are using 4G LTE. It's worth noting that the new iPad just went on sale in a lot of countries today, though other studies show that the U.S. takes up the lion's share of app activity.
These are some pretty interesting numbers, considering how much folks are concerned about blowing through their data caps with an LTE connection and a demanding high-resolution display. Small data buckets are likely a big factor in pushing people to using Wi-Fi over cell networks, and until plans improve, odds are things are going to stay that way.
The numbers seem accurate, at least in my experience. What about you guys - how much time do you spend using your cellular-enabled iPad outside the reach of a Wi-Fi zone?

There are such a lot of totally different initiatives that individuals can do around the home to lift the worth of their homes. The query typically turns into which tasks are the very best to perform. Which projects will go farthest in raising the value of the house? For these with a concern for a return on their funding, there are a selection of home improvement projects that may meet that requirement.
Ask any realtor and they'll tell you that the kitchens and bathrooms are home improvement projects that can sell the home. Having a pleasant up to date kitchen that has timeless options, a neutral colour scheme, and a few reasonably high end merchandise will lead to the best return on investments. Going with a nice granite counter high and a few stainless steel home equipment will mean a better likelihood of selling for asking price. As a result of kitchens are a dearer remodel and can be extremely time consuming and inconvenient, most individuals shrink back from homes that require a kitchen remodel. And even when you aren't planning on promoting in the close to future, having a reworked kitchen can make your life more pleasant while you are living there.
Loos are one other part of the house that may be incredibly costly and time consuming. Add to that the many sudden surprises that may arise during this specific home improvement venture and you may perceive why many shy away from this remodel. At the similar time, there are various causes to transform the bathroom. A pleasant rest room could make living in the house much more comfortable. And when individuals consider buying a home and walk into a pleasant rest room, they begin picturing themselves residing there.
There are lots of easier home improvement initiatives that can be completed. Simply including contemporary paint around the house can change the feel of the room. Along the same vain, including trim work like crown molding and picture molding across the room may also lead to a giant change for not a lot of money or inconvenience. The goal is to search out a lot of home improvement initiatives that can increase the value of the home and make it extra sellable.

Starting at an appropriate level fosters a love of learning
It is essential to foster confidence
The key to individualized instruction is to study at the "just right" level. The starting point for each Kumon student is determined individually. Students start at a level where they can attain a perfect score by studying on their own.
It is important that students enjoy their study
In helping students develop their academic abilities, the most important thing is that they enjoy learning. In order for this to happen, the starting point for each Kumon student is determined individually at a level where they can attain a perfect score by studying on their own.
Students experience the joy and satisfaction of achieving something on their own
Using the Math Program for an example, if a second-grade student is having trouble doing vertical calculations, it is often due to lack of mastery of mental calculation skills, usually dating back to the initial stages of learning addition and subtraction in the first grade. In such a case, it is essential to start with content that allows the child to easily obtain a perfect score at their current ability level. This way, the child will experience joy and satisfaction that result from being able to achieve something on one's own.

Hemoglobin is the most important component of red blood cells. It contains a protein called heme, which binds oxygen. In the lungs, oxygen enters the blood in exchange for carbon dioxide.
Abnormalities of an individual's hemoglobin value can indicate defects in the normal balance between red blood cell production and destruction. Both low and high values can indicate disease states.

Shapwick Moor is not as quiet and peaceful as we generally know it, as, during the last few weeks, large lorries and diggers have occupied the main drove, resurfacing it with stone and constructing our new (much needed!) visitors car park.
Although H&OT received planning permission for the works last Christmas, extremely wet winter conditions, followed by the Spring/Summer nesting season, have delayed construction until the end of August. The reward for this delay has been a fortnight of perfectly dry weather benefitting our contractors, MP & KM Goldings Ltd, a local road construction company from Cheddar. We needed more than 1400 tonnes of crushed stone to resurface around a km of access droves and lay the new car park, and the stone was provided at a very beneficial rate by Wainwright & Co Ltd, at Moons Hill Quarry in the Mendips. The Trust are already well known to Wainwrights, as part of our Peregrine monitoring programme, protecting the resident pair at Moons Hill Quarry.
This is such good new for the reserve, which has been challenged by poor access. Simon Beard, our Education Officer and our team of Volunteers are particularly pleased, as they will be able to drive to the tool store container rather than a long walk!
Weather conditions allowing, the car park, complete with a new safe access from the public road, will be completed by the end of September, so members, adopters families and friends can see it, and use the new access routes at the Members Weekend 19/20 October. We look forward to meeting you then.

Colin Kaepernick is half-black, half-white and all tatted up. He is your counterculture all-American QB, communicating through body art instead of social media. He sprints into your living rooms Sunday night with blinders on, oblivious to the pressure and expectation for a 25-year-old starting merely his 10th NFL game.
He has a soul patch on his chin and a chip on his shoulder from birth, and if people keep asking him if he "feels" for Alex Smith, who took the 49ers to the NFC championship game a year ago and lost his job to Kaepernick only after he was concussed during a game, one day he is going to just blurt out the hard truth:
Sure, I feel for Alex. But I feel a lot more for me, the kid who everybody passed on all through life — the kid whose birth mother was too young, scared and alone to take me home.
Barely recruited out of tiny Turlock in central California's farming region, he finally got a scholarship offer from Nevada, where you'd think becoming the first player in NCAA history to throw for 10,000 yards and rush for 4,000 more would amount to more than being the sixth quarterback taken in the 2011 draft.
But this was Kaepernick's lot in life from the beginning, when the mixed-race child was given up for adoption and taken in by a white couple in Wisconsin, becoming the only family he acknowledged — giving him a life an unwed teenager could not.
Asked Wednesday if he has run into awkward social situations, Kaepernick nodded, adding, "We would check into hotels and there's always someone asking me if I needed help when I was standing with my parents," he said, half-smiling.
When ESPN's Rick Reilly said, "You've been so loyal to them and in not speaking about the other thing. You feel like it shows respect?"
"Not speaking about what?" Kaepernick asked.
"Your birth mother."
"Um, I mean, I don't see that as loyalty," Kaepernick said. "I see that as my family. That's all I know."
The other side to this tale was unearthed by Yahoo Sports's Jason Cole earlier this season, who gave a Colorado nurse named Heidi Russo a forum to express the immense pain and guilt she feels over having given up her son for adoption to another nurse at the hospital where she worked 25 years ago, when she held her baby one last time before handing him to Teresa and Rick to raise and nurture.
While Kaepernick's parents recently reconnected with Russo, who yearns for a relationship with Colin and has attended several of his games, Kaepernick doesn't want to open that door.
"That's not something I think about," he said when I asked whether we have the right to peel back those layers for him. "I'm worried about my family."
Translation: Heidi Russo might have grown into a great, responsible woman with the best of intentions, but when she gave Colin up, she gave up the right to call herself his mother.
Personally, I don't have a problem with him keeping that door closed as long as he wants. It might sound cruel, but he didn't have a choice then. He does now. And as much as forgiveness often helps the forgiver the most, he can decide when and if he wants to have a relationship with his birth mother — on his terms.
I'm not a mental-health professional. But I'm thinking Super Bowl week in New Orleans, where a second-year player's head is probably spinning just trying to cope with the hype and his player's handbook, might not be the best healing vessel for the past.
This is the week Kaepernick prepares for Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens salivating at the idea of bringing all that 6-foot-4, roped-biceps of a quarterback to the ground before he smooches his guns on national television after another 49ers touchdown.
"Favorite Tattoo?" he said, rhetorically. "Inside my biceps: 'My Gift is My Curse.' "
"There are a lot of different meanings to it," Kaepernick said. "One that applies right here is there are a lot of great things about being an NFL quarterback, a lot of perks. At the same time there's a lot of things you can't do as an NFL quarterback — just walking around as a normal guy.
"The fact that I don't get to see my family on a regular basis. I don't get to go home for Thanksgiving, things like that."
He watches "Inkmaster" instead of sports on TV and says he got his first tattoo at 19 because his father wouldn't let him while he lived under the same roof.
For all the great, young rookies that graced the NFL this season — from Robert Griffin III to Russell Wilson — Kaepernick would love to be that new-generation quarterback for a country now more interested in consuming a pistol offense instead of an old-fangled shotgun. He can almost envision saying "I'm going to Disneyland" amid the confetti dropping to the New Orleans Superdome turf.
But if Madison Avenue can't deal with the body art or a genuine back story instead of the usual, wholesome-kid-from-the-cul-de-sac angle, oh well.
"If endorsements come, great," he says. "If not . . ."
If not, he knows he's already in the middle of a much more gratifying mission.
"What would you tell kids who are waiting to be adopted?" he was asked.
"Just keep your head up," Kaepernick said. "God has a plan for 'em. You might not be able to see it right now, but he has one."

DETROIT -- When I bought a new vehicle last year, I politely passed on the navigation system.
I figured it wasn't worth an extra two grand or so when I could buy a GPS system for one-tenth as much. And I've got plenty of map access with my iPhone.
It's a calculus that more and more drivers are making. But lately I've questioned the decision.
Every time I divert my eyes from the road to peer at the small GPS screen (or the smaller iPhone screen -- don't tell Ray LaHood), I'm reminded of how nice it would be to have big, bright map in the center stack.
A new technology that General Motors trotted out Wednesday eventually could give people a more compelling reason to eschew a pricey navigation system.
GM plans to offer a $50 navigation app, called GogoLink, that streams through the driver's iPhone or Android system and is displayed on the vehicle's 7-inch MyLink infotainment screen. The driver can control the system through the touch screen while listening to voice directions.
The ability to run a navigation app through the vehicle's infotainment system is an industry first -- and could be another nail in the navi coffin.
GM is catering to tech-savvy and budget-conscious buyers by debuting the app on the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic and new Chevrolet Spark minicar.
Of course, MyLink will be available only on higher trim levels. Pricing hasn't been announced.
GM estimates that 90 percent of the buyers of the Sonic or Spark, which will be launched this summer, have smartphones.
In contrast, 49 percent of GM's overall customer base has smartphones, says Sara LeBlanc, GM's global infotainment manager.
But as older people get more comfortable with their smartphones, they could reach the same conclusion as those 20-somethings: "Why fumble with a foreign navigation system when I can get it on my phone?"
For now, GM seems more concerned with offering buyers what they want than the potential hit to profit margins that could happen if customers abandon navigation systems.
LeBlanc says: "The customers are going to tell us what they want."

Stars and Promises 2012, The Light Of Christmas
Stars and Promises embarks on its twelfth year, celebrating Christmas in story and song with its theme for 2012; The Light Of Christmas. Stars and Promises has become a yearly tradition for many, returning to hear songs such as Sing Joy, Junkmans Christmas, and Christmas Overture, along with other favorites. Those traditions play an integral part in our connection to Joy, and thankfulness for all we share with family and friends, and to our embracing Peace with those across the many borders we face in life. But Christmas is also about seeing, and being seen in a new light- a rebirth of Hope, in the star of Bethlehem, in the soft light of the Christmas tree. Even in the silent, dim light of winter, there is a chance for reflection of another year gone by, and of the mystery and promise in the season to come.
In 1999, Peter and his brother Jim began work on their first Christmas album, Stars and Promises. Since then, Peter has returned for 11 successful annual tours, traveling with a group of superb musicians that bring the music to life. R. Scott Bryan is on percussion and vocals, Marc Torlina on bass, Mark Holland, on native flutes, Chris Walters on keyboard, and Maggie Estes plays violin and mandolin.
The Light Of Christmas will feature choirs, children or adult, along the way, and a chance for the audience to join in the singing as well on an array of traditional and original Carols. State of the art production is in the capable hands of Chad Stewart and Stewart Sound. They have been an integral part of our production each year. Thanks for making Stars and Promises a part of your celebration of the sound and Light of Christmas.

WASHINGTON — The eldest son of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says blacks can rightfully celebrate his father's life and work with pride, but much more must be accomplished.
Martin Luther King III, preparing to join ceremonies Wednesday commemorating the 50th anniversary of his father's "I Have a Dream" speech, says the country should confront "staggering unemployment" among black males 18 to 30 years old.
He called Barack Obama's election as the first African-American president a major breakthrough for America. But King also told NBC's "Today" show in an interview that he believes young blacks today still "are first judged by their color and then the content of their character."
King said his father deftly used the lofty words of the Founding Fathers "to inspire, lift up and bring hope."

The current issue of National Review has an article by my former colleagues Lee Casey and David Rivkin about what they predict will be the "battle royal" over the nomination of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General (I don't think the article appears online). The battle, Lee and David say, will center around Gonzales' role as White House counsel in developing the administration's legal position on the classification and treatment of individuals captured in the war on terror.
Until now, I've assumed that there won't be much of a battle. After all, the Democrats just lost the presidential election due in part to President Bush's inroads with Hispanic voters and, in larger part, to the public's distrust of the Dems on national security. Why, then, would the Senate Democrats want to attack an Hispanic nominee on the ground that he hasn't been solicitous enough when it comes to captured Taliban fighters and suspected terrorists? Moreover, I've assumed that the stakes aren't that high. We're not talking about a Supreme Court nomination. And, in any case, the Senate Democrats know that Gonzales is far about as liberal as anyone President Bush is likely to nominate as Attorney General. That knowledge wouldn't stop them if they thought they could make political hay out of opposing Gonzales, but it should give them pause before they shoot themselves in the foot.
Lee and David argue, however, that the stakes are actually quite high. The reason, they say, is because the positions Gonzales has taken on detainees go to the heart of the crucial debate over our national sovereignty. Gonzales has based his positions regarding detainees on the treaties to which the United States has consented, and ignored Protocols adopted by much of the world but rejected by the U.S. He has relied on a definition of "torture" more restrictive than the norm propounded by international advocacy organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, which effectively considers torture to be any coercive method of interrogation designed to break down the prisoner's resistance, regardless of physical or mental impact. Gonzales has, in short, upheld this country's right, as a sovereign nation, to be bound only by international rules to which we have consented. To the left, this is unforgivable.
But that's the principled left. Will Senators Leahy, Kennedy, and their lot take a political hit for these principles? I have my doubts. I suspect that they'll attempt to appease their leftist overlords by trying to procure conciliatory noises from Gonzales on detainee policy. If Gonzales stands firm, my guess is that the Senate Democrats will pretend that Gonzales has made such noises, and then back off.

By Mark Doyle
Radamel Falcao is arguably the third-best forward in the world, coveted by Europe's biggest clubs and at 27-years-old set to embark on the prime of his career. Yet he has now just joined the champions of Ligue 2. How could any true football fan be anything but bewildered by that last statement?
Of course, the former Atletico Madrid ace does not owe us neutrals anything. He has got where he is today all on his own; through a combination of exceptional talent and hard work. He deserves his success. He deserves his wealth (as much as any top footballer can truly 'deserve' the ridiculous riches bestowed upon him by the modern game).
However, Falcao has already been handsomely rewarded for his ability to place a ball in the back of a net with great regularity, having been the subject of two multi-million euro transfer deals during an eight-year professional career that has taken him from Argentina to Spain via Portugal.
His next move was always guaranteed to be his most lucrative. Indeed, Chelsea were willing to meet the Colombian's reported €60 million buy-out clause in order to take him to Stamford Bridge on what would have been a very handsome wage.
Regardless of how the game views the Blues, and the way in which they have acquired their domestic and European success, one would have at least been able to accept Falcao at face value if upon signing for the Premier League outfit, he had claimed that he had joined Chelsea in order to realise his ambition of winning the Champions League. Given the Londoners lifted the trophy last year, we might very well have believed him when he said it wasn't about the money.
However, how else are we expected to react to the news that he is instead to move to Monaco than by presuming that Falcao is motivated solely by financial gain? Surely he won't have the audacity to claim that he has been lured to Monte Carlo by anything other than a near tax-exempt status that will enable him to earn a net salary of €14m-per-year? Surely he won't insult our intelligence by suggesting that he is driven by anything other than avarice? Surely he won't speak of 'new challenges' and 'exciting projects', as Samuel Eto'o did when he accepted a world-record wage to join Anzhi Makhachkala two years ago?
At least in Eto'o's case, he could hide behind the fact that he had won all there was to win in the club game. The Cameroonian arrived in Russia a three-time Champions League winner; Falcao is merely the 'King of the Europa League'.
Falcao signed up with Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes in 2011 and that led many to believe he would be moving to Madrid. And he did - but to Atletico and not Real. The two teams have a non-aggression pact, a gentleman's agreement which means they cannot sign each other's players. That stopped Sergio Aguero from crossing the city divide and likely halted Falcao from moving to the white side of the capital divide, too - at least for now.
Mendes, whose Gestifute agency is rumoured to have put up half of the €40 million fee paid by Atletico to Porto in 2011, boasts a healthy relationship with Real as Jose Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho (now Monaco) and Angel Di Maria are all on his books. And it is being speculated in Spain that the Portuguese has inserted a clause into Falcao's Monaco contract which will allow him to move to los Blancos.
As a teenager, the Colombia striker revealed his dream to play for Real, a desire reiterated by his father last year. In the meantime, he will earn around €14 million tax free per year on the French Riviera. For a fourth season in a row, however, he will have no Champions League football.
- Ben Hayward | Spanish Football Expert
Even then, as we have seen with Paris Saint-Germain, it is likely that it will take the Dmitry Rybolovlev-owned outfit a couple of years to establish themselves among Europe's elite. By that stage, Falcao will be pushing 30 and what should have been the best years of his career will have passed, wasted while plying his trade away from a top club and outside of a truly top league.
In a sporting sense, that would be tragic. This is a player who almost single-handedly destroyed Chelsea in this season's Super Cup final with a hat-trick of the highest order. Four months later, he lit up Camp Nou with a goal of such class that even the home fans could not help but applaud in admiration.
It was a perfectly understandable reaction from the Barcelona faithful. It has been obvious to anyone with a modicum of interest in the game that this is a player of rare talent. He belongs at the very highest level. He deserves to be playing Champions League football every year and seemed eminently capable of transforming Atletico into a major European force.
Falcao has been blessed with a precious gift and it would genuinely be a crying shame if he does not realise his full potential.
As the saying goes, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent. Falcao and his army of agents and financial benefactors have made his choice. It is the wrong one. And it will shape how we remember him forever.

Another new picture of some dancing fools. More pictures are pouring in so keep checking back for more.
RBVL Awards Dinner Held at the Beach Club
The Rockaway Beach Volleyball League concluded the 2004 season with their annual Awards Dinner on Friday 9/17 at the Beach Club, setting a new attendance record with players eager to party the night away. A rocking good time was had by all, aided by the music of Head Over Heels, who were brought back by popular demand. Good food and cold beer is the usual formula for a fun time with this group and once again it proved successful. Thanks to Theresa and her staff who helped make the night so pleasant. Thanks to Rocky and Bugsy who toiled many hours, working on the details of the extravaganza. Thanks to all of those captains who organized their teammates and collected deposits. Your work is invaluable. And how about the work done by Brianne Rogers and her mom, Renee from Grassy Point on the creative team logos that marked each table. Spectacular!
Championship sweatshirts were presented to the division winners and will be worn proudly by:
Ocean Division – Freedhand's Court Champs (Captain Richie Whelan)
Wave Division – Fillmore Insurance (Captain Jim Sluyk)
Beach Division – The Mahooshkas (Captain Judy Aiken)
Boardwalk Division – The Odd Couples (Captain Gina Ramos)
Sun Division – Vaughn's Cheese Fires (Captain Jamie Witkowski)
Amidst the team presentations, individual awards were given out as well but none had anything to do with volleyball skills or ability. First up was Eileen Bledsoe, who proudly accepted the "Life Saver" award. On the day before the awards dinner, Eileen's daughter, Kristen, leaped into the ocean and, with help from the FDNY, saved two young men from drowning. Her story made the front page of the NY Daily News and her mom was given a framed copy of that very paper. She beamed with pride and commented, "This is the first award I've ever received for simply giving birth." Next up was captain Greg Deboer who accepted a symbolic beach chair in honor of his Brooklyn Transplants for Best Attendance and the Most Fans on the Beach. Tommy Tunes was given a one of a kind item, a copy of the RBVL rulebook, autographed by his favorite people, the referees. When Hector Ramos accepted his magical blue Viagra pill as the oldest active player in the league many noticed that he looked younger than most of his teammates. Mike Heinz was given a NY Keno Numbers ticket just like the many investment tickets his team purchased during the season. The league has not heard from Mike but if he wins over a million dollars he has promised a donation of 10%. John Sica stepped up to the podium next to accept one last gift from the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, a monstrosity of a Hawaiian shirt that only he could look good in. ("I'd do him!") Finally, Frank Ganun lost out on the Premier Spiker award but won the Best Texas Hold 'Em Player title and he received the book "Super System" by poker legend Doyle Brunson.
More Hawaiian shirts showed up this year than any other and you had to admire Stevie G. who wore an orange beauty that matched his hair color. This year's Best Dancers were Kevin and Mary Begley who had finished second the last three years running. Craig Samu and his lovely wife might have won the trophy but for one thing – he's a referee! There was no shortage of contestants filling the dance floor all night. The annual ritual of doing a back flip off the bar stool was suspended but may be renewed next year. Somehow TBG remembered to show up at the Beach Club (and not the Knights of Columbus) and he remembered to wear a slimming vertical striped shirt (and not the unflattering horizontal stripes he flaunted at Connolly's this summer). The top attendance team at the party was the Brooklyn Transplants, followed by Abbracciamento's, Freedhand's, Fillmore Insurance, Bikini Bottom All-Stars, It's All Good, Mahooshkas, Grassy's Ratpack, Odd Couples, Vaughn's Cheese Fries and EZ Company. Some players still want a division that convenes on the boardwalk with coolers and chairs and never goes near the beach. There would be no need for referees, nets or balls so expenses would be at a minimum. Careful consideration will be given to this idea. For actual players, mark your calendars. Our practice week is set for 5/25/05 and opening day will be Wednesday 6/1/05. (We'll see the captains in the winter, as we begin planning for next season. If your e-mail address changes, please let us know.)
A grateful nod must go to all of the sponsors of our 32 teams. Without their financial support the league might very well not exist. A special thanks goes out to the sponsors who hosted the Wednesday night parties after the matches: Grassy Point Grill, Kerry Hills, Irish Circle, Connolly's, Healy's, Vaughn's, Pier 92, Rugby Clubhouse, the Harbor Light and Jameson's. All provided a great atmosphere for players to unwind after a pressure-filled night of beach volleyball. 2004 was a terrific season in spite of inclement weather on what seemed like every Wednesday night. Special thanks go out to Commissioner Patty Moule and her hard-working committee members, as well as anyone who volunteered for jobs along the way. Your help, even with the smallest items, was much appreciated.
Commissioner Patty concludes the 2004 season with her traditional final thoughts: "I just want to take the time to thank everyone for a wonderful season. This was my most enjoyable season so far since taking on the league four years ago. It was my first year playing without injury or pregnancy! I want to thank my new team, Bikini Bottom All-Stars, for putting up with my, sometimes, schizophrenic style of playing. One minute I'd play aggressive and focused, the next I'd hardly touch the ball. I promise to improve on this, guys. John has sent the Fab Five over to me to at least improve my beach wardrobe. The RBVL has been around for 15 years and it keeps getting bigger and better. Taking on four new teams (Brooklyn Transplants, EZ Company, the Nobody's and the Harbor Light) added a lot of renewed spirit to the games and the parties. Thanks for your positive energy! When I first took on this "job" I was very anxious that I wouldn't succeed. As always, thanks to a committee that truly does their work as promised. In addition to his duties as treasurer, shirt provider, DJ and "all around good guy", Bugsy took on the additional task of referee assignments this season and this helped me tremendously. Every week I was comforted when I spotted the red hair of our reliable resident equipment manager, Steve, as I approached the beach. Rocky manages the equipment with Steve and is our "party planner". As always, he does a great job making sure people have fun. Denise had the arduous task of assigning sponsors their party night. This is one task I'm truly happy not to have. John is our webmaster, photographer, journalist and world famous Straight Guy for the Queer Eye. I hope he doesn't leave us for Hollywood. Last but not least is Joe – "journalist extraordinaire". He is really my right hand man and is always willing to listen to my ideas or gripes. (Of course, I have to plan 20-30 minutes of phone time.) His friendship is truly appreciated. These six folks, with their unique personalities and abilities represent what Rockaway and the RBVL are all about – good people, looking to have some well-deserved fun after a hard day's work. Thanks to everyone – captains, players, referees, spectators and all the children, the future RBVL players. Love, Patty."
See you on the beach in the summer of 2005! (Or maybe at the first RBVL Christmas party this winter.) Check the Wave next week for pictures from the awards dinner.

Web portals are sometimes classified as
. A horizontal portal is used as a platform to several companies in the same economic sector or to the same type of manufacturers or distributors.
A vertical portal (also known as a "vortal") is a specialized entry point to a specific market or industry niche, subject area, or interest.
Chloé Cutout Platform Sandals Outlet Brand New Unisex sPuWfPY
Some vertical portals are known as "vertical information portals" (VIPs). VIPs provide news, editorial content, digital publications, and e-commerce capabilities. In contrast to traditional vertical portals, VIPs also provide dynamic multimedia applications including social networking, video posting, and blogging.
A personal portal is a Web page at a Web site on the
Clearance 100% Original Discount Fashion Style Prada Alligator Ankle Strap Sandals With Paypal For Sale New Arrival Cheap Online Browse Cheap Online I2MuBjN
, different numbers and types of middleware and hardware to provide services from a number of different sources and may run on a non-standard local Web server. In addition, business portals can be designed for sharing and collaboration in workplaces. A further business-driven requirement of portals is that the content be presented on multiple platforms such as personal computers , laptops, tablet computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones and smartphones .
Information, news, and updates are examples of content that could be delivered through such a portal. Personal portals can be related to any specific topic such as providing friends information on a social network or providing links to outside content that may help others beyond your reach of services. Portals are not limited to simply providing links. Outside of business intranet user, very often simpler portals become replaced with richer mashup designs. Within enterprises, early portals were often replaced by much more powerful "dashboard" designs. Some also have relied on newer protocols such as some version of RSS aggregation and may or may not involve some degree of Web harvesting. Facebook can be considered as a modern personal web portal.
At the end of the dot-com boom in the 1990s, many governments had already committed to creating government web portal sites for their citizens. These included primary portals to the governments as well as portals developed for specific branches (e.g., a particular government ministry, department or agency), or for specific sub-audiences (e.g., senior citizens, parents, post-secondary students, etc.). Examples of government Web portals include:
In the European Union, passenger vehicles are commonly tested using two drive cycles, and corresponding fuel economies are reported as 'urban' and 'extra-urban', in litres per 100km and (in the UK) in miles per imperial gallon.
The urban economy is measured using the test cycle known as ECE-15, first introduced in 1970 by EC Directive 70/220/EWG and finalized by EEC Directive 90/C81/01 in 1999. It simulates a 4,052m (2.518mile) urban trip at an average speed of 18.7km/h (11.6mph) and at a maximum speed of 50km/h (31mph).
The extra-urban driving cycle or EUDC lasts 400 seconds (6minutes 40 seconds) at an average speed 62.6km/h (39mph) and a top speed of 120km/h (74.6mph). [41]
EU fuel consumption numbers are often considerably lower than corresponding US EPA test results for the same vehicle. For example, the 2011 Honda CR-Z with a six-speed manual transmission is rated 6.1/4.4 L/100km in Europe [42] and 7.6/6.4 L/100km (31/37 mpg ) in the United States. [43]
In the European Union advertising has to show
Carbon dioxide
)-emission and fuel consumption data in a clear way as described in the UK Statutory Instrument 2004 No 1661.
Since September 2005 a colour-coded "Green Rating" sticker has been available in the UK, which rates fuel economy by CO
emissions: A: <= 100 g/km, B: 100–120, C: 121–150, D: 151–165, E: 166–185, F: 186–225, and G: 226+. Depending on the type of fuel used, for gasoline A corresponds to about 4.1L/100km (69mpg
; 57mpg
) and G about 9.5L/100km (30mpg
; 25mpg
Ireland has a very similar label, but the ranges are slightly different, with A: <= 120 g/km, B: 121–140, C: 141–155, D: 156–170, E: 171–190, F: 191–225, and G: 226+.

In the UK the ASA (Advertising standards agency) have claimed that fuel consumption figures are misleading. Often the case with European vehicles as the MPG (miles per gallon) figures that can be advertised are often not the same as 'real world' driving.
The ASA have said that Car manufacturers can use 'cheats' to prepare their vehicles for their compulsory fuel efficiency and emissions tests in a way set out to make themselves look as 'clean' as possible. This practice is common in petrol and diesel vehicle tests, but hybrid and electric vehicles are not immune as manufacturers apply these techniques to fuel efficiency.
Car experts [ ] also assert that the official MPG figures given by manufacturers do not represent the true MPG values from real-world driving. [47] Websites have been set up to show the real-world MPG figures, based on crowd-sourced data from real users, vs the official MPG figures. [48]
