Major Section: DOCUMENTATION
ACL2 documentation strings make special use of the tilde character (~). In particular, we describe here a ``markup language'' for which the tilde character plays a special role. The markup language is valuable if you want to write documentation that is to be displayed outside your ACL2 session. If you are not writing such documentation, and if also you do not use the character `~', then there is no need to read on.
Three uses of the tilde character (~) in documentation strings are as follows. Below we explain the uses that constitute the ACL2 markup language.
The other uses of the tilde character are of the following form.
Indicates the end of a documentation section; see doc-string.
Indicates the literal insertion of a tilde character (~).
This directive in a documentation string is effective only during the processing of part 2, the details (see doc-string), and controls how much is shown on each round of
moreprocessing when printing to the terminal. If the system is not doing
moreprocessing, then it acts as though the ~] is not present. Otherwise, the system put out a newline and halts documentation printing on the present topic, which can be resumed if the user types
moreat the terminal.
~key[arg]Before launching into an explanation of how this works in detail, let us consider some small examples.
Here is a word that is code:
~c[function-name].Here is a phrase with an ``emphasized'' word, ``not'':
Do ~em[not] do that.Here is the same phrase, but where ``not'' receives stronger emphasis (presumably boldface in a printed version):
Do ~st[not] do that.Here is a passage that is set off as a display, in a fixed-width font:
~bv[] This passage has been set off as ``verbatim''. The present line starts just after a line break. Normally, printed text is formatted, but inside ~bv[]...~ev[], line breaks are taken literally. ~ev[]In general, the idea is to provide a ``markup language'' that can be reasonably interpreted not only at the terminal (via
doc), but
also via translators into other languages. In fact, translators
have been written into Texinfo and HTML.
Let us turn to a more systematic consideration of how to mark text
in documentation strings using expressions of the form
~key[arg], which we will call ``doc-string tilde directives.''
The idea is that
key informs the documentation printer (which
could be the terminal, a hardcopy printer, or some hypertext tool)
about the ``style'' used to display
arg. The intention is that
each such printer should do the best it can. For example, we have
seen above that
~em[arg] tells the printer to emphasize
arg if possible, using an appropriate display to indicate
emphasis (italics, or perhaps surrounding
arg with some character
_, or ...). For another example, the directive for bold
~b[arg], says that printed text for
arg should be in
bold if possible, but if there is no bold font available (such as at
the terminal), then the argument should be printed in some other
reasonable manner (for example, as ordinary text). The
key part
is case-insensitive; for example, you can use ~BV[] or ~Bv[] or ~bV[] in
place of ~bv[].
Every form below may have any string as the argument (inside
[..]), as long as it does not contain a newline (more on that
below). However, when an argument does not make much sense to us,
we show it below as the empty string, e.g., ``
~bv[]'' rather
than ``
~-[] Print the equivalent of a dash
~b[arg] Print the argument in bold font, if available
~bid[arg] ``Begin implementation dependent'' -- Ignores argument at terminal.
~bf[] Begin formatted text (respecting spaces and line breaks), but in ordinary font (rather than, say, fixed-width font) if possible
~bq[] Begin quotation (indented text, if possible)
~bv[] Begin verbatim (print in fixed-width font, respecting spaces and line breaks)
~c[arg] Print arg as ``code'', such as in a fixed-width font
~ef[] End format; balances ~bf[]
~eid[arg] ``End implementation dependent'' -- Ignores argument at terminal.
~em[arg] Emphasize arg, perhaps using italics
~eq[] End quotation; balances ~bq[]
~ev[] End verbatim; balances ~bv[]
~i[arg] Print arg in italics font
~id[arg] ``Implementation dependent'' -- Ignores argument at terminal.
~il[arg] Print argument as is, but make it a link (for true hypertext environments)
~ilc[arg] Same as ~il[arg], except that arg should be printed as with ~c[arg]
~l[arg] Ordinary link; prints as ``See :DOC arg'' at the terminal (but also see ~pl below, which puts ``see'' in lower case)
~nl[] Print a newline
~par[] Paragraph mark, of no significance at the terminal (can be safely ignored; see also notes below)
~pl[arg] Parenthetical link (borrowing from Texinfo): same as ~l[arg], except that ``see'' is in lower case. This is typically used at other than the beginning of a sentence.
~sc[arg] Print arg in (small, if possible) capital letters
~st[arg] Strongly emphasize arg, perhaps using a bold font
~t[arg] Typewriter font; similar to ~c[arg], but leaves less doubt about the font that will be used.
~terminal[arg] Terminal only; arg is to be ignored except when reading documentation at the terminal, using :DOC.
Style notes and further details
It is not a good idea to put doc-string tilde directives inside
verbatim environments,
~bv[] ... ~ev[].
Do not nest doc-string tilde directives; that is, do not write
The ~c[~il[append] function ...but note that the ``equivalent'' expression
The ~ilc[append] function ...is fine. The following phrase is also acceptable:
~bf[]This is ~em[formatted] text. ~ef[]because the nesting is only conceptual, not literal.
We recommend that for displayed text,
~bv[] and
should usually each be on lines by themselves. That way, printed
text may be less encumbered with excessive blank lines. Here is an
Here is some normal text. Now start a display: ~bv[] 2 + 2 = 4 ~ev[] And here is the end of that paragraph.The analogous consideration applies to
Here is the start of the next paragraph.
~bf[] and
~ef[] as
well as
~bq[] and
You may ``quote'' characters inside the
arg part of
~key[arg], by preceding them with ~. This is, in fact, the
only legal way to use a newline character or a right bracket (])
inside the argument to a doc-string tilde directive.
Write your documentation strings without hyphens. Otherwise, you may find your text printed on paper (via TeX, for example) like this --
Here is a hyphe- nated word.even if what you had in mind was:
Here is a hyphe- nated word.When you want to use a dash (as opposed to a hyphen), consider using ~-[], which is intended to be interpreted as a ``dash.'' For example:
This sentence ~-[] which is broken with dashes ~-[] is boring.would be written to the terminal (using
doc) by replacing
~-[] with two hyphen characters, but would presumably be
printed on paper with a dash.
Be careful to balance the ``begin'' and ``end'' pairs, such as
~bv[] and
~ev[]. Also, do not use two ``begin''
directives (
~bq[], or
~bv[]) without an
intervening ``end'' directive. It is permissible (and perhaps this
is not surprising) to use the doc-string part separator
~/ while
between such a begin-end pair.
Because of a bug in texinfo (as of this writing), you may wish to
avoid beginning a line with (any number of spaces followed by) the
- character or
The ``paragraph'' directive,
~par[], is rarely if ever used.
There is a low-level capability, not presently documented, that
interprets two successive newlines as though they were
This is useful for the HTML driver. For further details, see the
authors of ACL2.
Emacs code is available for manipulating documentation strings that contain doc-string tilde-directives (for example, for doing a reasonable job filling such documentation strings). See the authors if you are interested.
We tend to use
~em[arg] for ``section headers,'' such as
``Style notes and further details'' above. We tend to use
~st[arg] for emphasis of words inside text. This division
seems to work well for our Texinfo driver. Note that
arg to be printed in upper-case at the terminal (using
doc), while
~em[arg] causes
arg to be printed at the
terminal as though
arg were not marked for emphasis.
Our Texinfo and HTML drivers both take advantage of capabilities for
indicating which characters need to be ``escaped,'' and how. Unless
you intend to write your own driver, you probably do not need to
know more about this issue; otherwise, contact the ACL2 authors. We
should probably mention, however, that Texinfo makes the following
requirement: when using
~l[arg], where
arg contains
one of the special characters
{, or
}, you must
immediately follow this use with a period or comma. Also, the Emacs
``info'' documentation that we generate by using our Texinfo driver
has the property that in node names,
: has been replaced by
(because of quirks in info); so for example, the ``proof-checker''
simplification command,
s, is documented under
rather than under
We have tried to keep this markup language fairly simple; in
particular, there is no way to refer to a link by other than the
actual name. So for example, when we want to make
doc an
invisible link in ``code'' font, we write the following form, which
indicates that
: should be in that font and then
doc should
both be in that font and be an invisible link.

St. Thomas has put a choke-hold on the MCLA's second division, earning four of the last five national titles. Senior midfielder Will Hersman is back to form after recovering from Lyme disease throughout last spring, but is he your choice for the best player in the league for 2014?
The full voting list for all categories is available here.
Read the case for each of the finalists and cast your vote below, and be sure to rally the troops for your picks by sharing on social media using #LaxPOY. (Finalists are listed in alphabetical order)
David Hall, Soph., Attack – Grove City
As a rookie, the 6-foot, 215-pound Hall (56g, 12a) was unstoppable at times. He torched Liberty for five goals and two assists in the quarterfinals, averaging five points per game at nationals.
Jacob Helmer, Sr., Attack – St. John's
Defense has been the name of the game at St. John's, put with the powerful Helmer (37g, 23a) returning up front this spring, the offense might carry the Johnnies as a young backline matures.
Will Hersman, Sr., Midfield – St. Thomas
An athletic middie who has played a pivotal role in the St. Thomas dynasty, Hersman (23g, 4a) will be the anchor of the Tommies' talented midfield unit. Unlike '13, Hersman should be healthy from the start.
Danny Kransberger, Sr., Goalie – Grand Valley State
The Lakers had early season issues in '13, but Kransberger (58.9 sv%) has been a constant since he arrived at GVSU. The two-time first team All-American should once again be the team's foundation.
Destin Seguin, Sr., Attack – Concordia (Calif.)
Seguin has averaged over 80 points in his first three seasons (77 last spring) and has been part of the Eagles rise to prominence. He could flirt with the century mark if Concordia heads to nationals again.

What is distance learning? The short answer is here in Wikipedia. The long answer is – distance learning enables students to take courses on their own schedule and at their own learning pace through the use of telecommunication technology. Students do not have to be present at a specific time in front of a teacher and in a real classroom. Instead, they can learn in the comfort of their own home. All that is needed is a computer, modem and internet connection. Students attend class on their own schedule. Lectures, coursework and discussions all take place at their convenience. A student's location in relation to the teacher is no longer relevant-the student can be at home, at work, on campus, or in an internet cafe anywhere in the world. There are no physical boundaries to on-line learning!
The Internet threw learning out of the classroom and into cyberspace, making education available anywhere, anytime and adaptable to each person's individual needs. Students in China are registering for computer degrees from American universities. Working parents in Minneapolis can squeeze in financial accounting courses from Coursera between their workday and family life. Overachieving high school students can include college calculus in their secondary-school curriculum. International travelers log in to virtual classrooms whenever and wherever they please. Distance learning currently reaches millions of people!
Sounds great, but does it work?
Distance learning provides the same high-quality education as traditional educational institutions. Many on-line programs are actually run from conventional universities and professional training institutes. The teachers and professors are all highly trained and demand high standards. Its effectiveness is reaffirmed in the self-reliant style of educational discipline and its dependence on the clarity of the written word. Distance students are self-motivated, because they most often operate outside a formal class schedule. What is missing is the commute to and from the classroom.
How to Recognize if an Educational Institution is Legitimate?
You may have heard that some on-line programs may be 'degree mills'. Remember that quality education requires time and effort. No legitimate program will offer a degree or a certificate without learning properly. It is important to check the institution's accreditation by recognized accrediting agencies, but make note that many respectable institutions world wide may be unaccredited because some countries have no formal accreditation authority. For further information in this area, begin by contacting the US Department of Education.
Types of E-Learning
Today you can learn everything on-line from professional certification to university degrees. Many established universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology have on-line departments that offer accredited degree programs: associate, bachelors, masters and PhD degrees. Credits can be earned on-line, then transferred and applied to other degrees at different educational institutions.
Professionals can take distance learning courses that in the past required them to travel. This flexibility is a key-the ability to work and gain professional training and technical skills. E-learning is a better educational environment for the business sector with its lower costs and individual time management.
Continuing Education is available on-line and takes on a leisurely atmosphere. Adult students may choose courses from around the world in subjects that interest them.
Some schools encourage student and professional camaraderie by requiring on-campus visits, which are often intense educational residencies or retreats, where students finish group projects, attend lectures with professors, and most importantly become acquainted with each other. These programs are highly successful.
Who are the Key Players in Distance Education?
As in traditional learning institutions, distance education has faculty, students, support staff and administrators.
Distant teachers depend on the written word as their classroom is devoid of visual cues from "live" students. Often the spontaneity of the real classroom is lost in the transformation despite telecommunication technology such as video conferencing and chat rooms.
In instructor-led learning courses there is a curriculum which has been developed by the instructor. This instructor conducts the class, provides assignments, answers questions, leads discussions and grades student assignments.
In instructor-facilitated learning students learn at their own pace through the course curriculum developed by the instructor and share their thoughts with other students through telecommunications technology. The instructor evaluates the assignments that the students initiate.
On-line learning enables the educator to reach a wider student audience with a multitude of lifestyles and locations. In addition, speakers and resources are available from outside the geographical location of the educational setting, which is not usually acceptable in the traditional learning environment.
Distance students require additional motivation, discipline and the ability to analyze and apply the information taught. On-line learning often reflects the open educational theories. Many distant students are older, with the demands of families and jobs that often conflict with the schedule and location of the traditional educational settings. These students aren't necessarily looking for the stereotypical educational social experience, but are in search of education as an end to a means. On-line learning enables them to study at the best program available, in the time and schedule they have. These students still meet fellow students and create professional relationships through e-mails and phone calls.
Distance students are usually more isolated than traditional students. There is less competition between students, because of the absence of the physical classroom that provides face-to-face contact. Some students may find this impersonal and be uncomfortable with the direct support from teachers. Distance learners must also be comfortable with technology as the conduit of their communication.
On-line educational institutions offer support staff to aid students with technical problems. Administrators are available as with any institution, aiding in the process of registration and academic needs. On-line colleges offer student services and conveniences such as financial aid, counseling and academic advising. The most successful institutions offer mentoring, librarians, and technical help on-line around the clock.
In reality, instructors find the on-line system astonishingly personal. The professor's style and personality is present as in the conventional classroom, but with the added intimacy of email, he becomes more like a private tutor.
On the down-side, even courses taught by well-meaning instructors encounter problems if there are too many students for the instructors to keep up with the e-mail traffic. With a class of 40 students, an instructor may receive more than 300 e-mails a day. Sometimes, it is humanly impossible for the teacher to keep up with such demands of distance learning.
A View of the On-Line Classroom
Peering into a distance classroom, you see a highly digital setting. The formal education is conducted while seated in front of the computer screen which is connected to the internet. Absent is the struggle to find the location of the classroom on a large unfamiliar campus and being on time for the instructor's entrance. Instead, students sit alone in the comfort of the environment of their choice, telecommuting concepts, assignments and jokes.
The first day of a class will begin by receiving a study package from the professor that includes a reading list, set of lectures to be downloaded chronologically at an individualized pace and assignment requirements. One also receives a list of fellow students, their e-mail addresses and a private classroom forum message board.
Electronic learning can be either synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous learning imitates the traditional pyramid classroom. Classes take place at a specified time, in real-time. Students are connected to each other and to the teachers through audio, satellite television and chat rooms. Questions and responses are immediate. Synchronous learning can take place anywhere, but not anytime and is dependant on available technology.
Asynchronous learning can take place at any time. Students receive a learning package to work on at their own pace. They communicate with teachers and class members through e-mail and message boards. This style of learning offers collaborative non-hierarchical experience that is boundless to time and place. Most on-line courses are conducted in this educational style.
Class size is limited similar to traditional education. Students receive grades, credits and certification according to the standards of the educational institution.
Many courses often have specified dates when they begin and end and include a schedule of coursework and assignment due dates. There are also courses that are self-paced, which are similar to independent study.
Most learning occurs in the communication between students and professors and among students themselves. Students are often graded on their on-line participation which is required five out of seven days a week. Students find these dialogues and academic debates demanding and quite challenging. Through these on-line chats, social relationships also grow. Social quantifiers, such as physical characteristics and race, don't exist here. The entire experience is liberating. Just as in conventional education, distance learning creates strong social and professional bonds between students and their instructors.
Pros and cons on the benefits of distance learning
On-line learning places the advantage with the learner rather than the institution. It creates a more effective educational market as opposed to a controlled allocation of scarce teaching resources through the traditional regional location of educational institutions.
In many ways, e-learning is the globalization of education. A student can have classmates and instructors from all over the world. This in it self is a wonderful educational opportunity.
Courses availability in terms of network speed limit. President Obama's ConnectED initiative helps local schools get 1Gb/s access to educational segment of Web.
Electronic learning may isolate students physically, which can have negative effects on team building and sociability. Students with an aptitude for verbal expression may suffer in the virtual classroom.
Not every student possesses the discipline needed to complete a distance course without instructor prodding them along. Unfortunately, classes with little instructor interaction have high dropout rates, sometimes as high as sixty percent. Students who get frustrated with the technology may lose faith. Employees having to learn on their own time can add to the workload of an already overstressed person.
Distance education is demanding, because it requires independent discipline from both the faculty and the student. As a result of the effort, learning becomes more meaningful with deeper comprehension. Students and their instructors share responsibility for developing individual goals and objectives. Students must actively interact with class members, which promotes reflection on the subject matter and elevates the students' self-esteem.

Re: Where have you met other Fett Fans?
I asked sergeant major (Our teacher/coach for ROTC) if i could stitch on a madolorian sign on our navy uniform, of course he said no, but then i asked if he watched any star wars, he said yes, i then asked him which movies/guys do you like? then he said, the clone soliders. when i heard this, i thought he was gonna allow us to wear stromtrooper outfits and march and stuff with the outfits on , that'd be so motha f****** awsome.
Then what he said shocked me, he says "so hawk ( he gives everyone a nickname in ROTC) did you join because of the soliders in star wars? ( he is refering to the clone's when he says soliders)
And then i said, they influenced the decsision alot. he said starship troopers made him think about the military.
And then i told him if it was possible to clone me, and name the clone boba, then he said get out of here troy.
But then he told me,
if i got into the military, and there is a war, that i would be allowed to place symbols on our outfits and what not.
I am in JROTC and my SFC whom is the Army Instructor gives us all nicknames, too. I guess it just something that Senior NCO's do with their men in the army and it carries over to ROTC, I do know. I am a blank E1 and am getting promoted soon, probably sometime next week. But he is a cool (black) guy he kinda makes me think about questions when we ask him. But I ask him that same question and of course he said no. But me and him mostly talk about the SEC (he is a UGA fan). He is much cooler than our SIA.
I have yet to meet any other Fett fans.

This checklist presents a set of tips and relevant resources and tools to help private sector health providers improve their knowledge, skills, and capacity to conduct advocacy in support of maternal health.
This toolkit provides guidance for national civil society organizations (CSOs) interested in establishing or strengthening an alliance in support of maternal health advocacy. The toolkit provides a step-by-step approach to working with partners in a national-level alliance to advocate for maternal health policy change. Divided into three major sections, each provides steps CSOs can take in order to:
A set of seven briefs, available in English, French, and Spanish, that outline challenges and solutions for increasing the availability and use of three essential maternal health medicines (oxytocin, misoprostol and magnesium sulfate), drawing on lessons and experience from reproductive health supplies.
This infographic highlights the critical role that midwives play in improving maternal and newborn health around the world. Midwives have a powerful voice in changing policies and practices that support the availability, accessibility, acceptability, and quality of health services.
De nombreux pays s'attaquent à ces problèmes et ont réalisé des progrès importants pour introduire et encourager l'utilisation du misoprostol pour l'hémorragie post-partum (HPP). Cette publication, disponible en français et anglais, présente l'expérience de trois pays – le Bangladesh, le Népal et la Zambie – qui sont à la fois une source d'inspiration et un exemple pour d'autres qui cherchent à élargir l'accès au misoprostol et met en exergue le rôle essentiel d'un engagement et d'un appui au niveau national pour le développement de programmes efficaces.

This toolkit, available in English, French and Spanish, is designed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and capacity of midwives, and of their national midwifery associations, to conduct advocacy for positive policy change. using evidence published in The State of the World's Midwifery (SoWMy) 2014 report.
In 2010 and 2011, Family Care International conducted mappings in five regions: Francophone West Africa, East Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and South Asia. These mappings identified the major policy challenges and opportunities related to introducing and improving access to misoprostol for preventing and/or treating postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Each document is available in English; when relevant to the region, they are available in French and Spanish as well.
Misoprostol for Postpartum Hemorrhage: Questions and Answers for Policy Makers provides information about misoprostol's critical role in preventing and treating postpartum bleeding or hemorrhage (PPH), one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide. Misoprostol, a medicine initially developed to prevent stomach ulcers, is often the best available option for preventing and treating PPH in many low-resource countries, and may be a woman's only chance for surviving PPH.
This publication, available in English and French, presents case studies from three countries — Bangladesh, Nepal, and Zambia — that have introduced and scaled up the use of misoprostol for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). These country examples highlight the essential role of high-level commitment and support in initiating and implementing national programs, and provide inspiration and guidance for policy makers and partners seeking to expand access to misoprostol for PPH.

Aug 1: Uneven, rapid tyre wear
* Have you got a problem? * Our team is here to help * Submit your questions here...
Name Adam Currie
Car Alfa Romeo Brera
Problem Uneven, rapid tyre wear
A few months ago, we wrote about the problems Zoe Trower was having with her Alfa Romeo Brera. She found that her tyres were wearing rapidly and unevenly, with the inside of the front tyres going bald long before the outside section was close to the legal limit.
Zoe is definitely not alone. Adam Currie read the story and got in touch to tell us that his Brera had been similarly affected. He sent us a picture of one of the front tyres he'd just had replaced after nearly 10,000 miles on the car.
'As you can see, the inside edge has been worn down way past the legal depth, while the outside edge still has 4-5mm left,' says Adam.
Adam is a member of the Alfa Owners' Forum ( www.alfaowner.com). He pointed Helpdesk in the direction of a thread on which Brera, 159 and Spider owners complain of similar tyre issues. The thread runs to 718 posts.
'So far Alfa UK has declined to make an official statement on policy, instead leaving it to individual customers to complain, with differing results, to their Alfa dealership,' says Adam.
• Have the alignment of your car's suspension checked for any possible problems.
• Call Alfa Romeo's customer relations department on 00800 2532 0000.
• Go online and you will find many others who have had a similar experience and have advice to share.
We took up the case with Alfa Romeo. If so many owners were experiencing the same problem, was there a fault with the geometry on these models? At
the very least, did it not suggest the suspension was prone to being knocked out of alignment?
Having looked into the number of cases raised by Alfa Brera, Spider and 159 customers in relation to issues with uneven/rapid tyre wear, we are aware that during 2009 the level of customer contact on this subject represented approximately only 1.1% of owners of these vehicles since they were introduced into the UK,' Alfa told us. We don't believe the cars' suspension geometry is awry.
There are a number of factors outside of the design parameters that also affect tyre wear. Correct wheel geometry settings and tyre inflation pressures are very important, as are the influences of driving style and type of usage (motorway, country lanes, around town etc). These influences will not only change the rate of wear, but also the wear pattern across the tread.'
We're disappointed Alfa won't accept there's a fundamental problem. Instead, it has promised to look at each case individually.

Stevenson High School student team prevails in sandwich-eating contest
The Stevenson and Vernon Hills high school football teams won't meet on the field for another few months, but players jump-started the competition Saturday at a sandwich-eating contest sponsored by Real Urban Barbecue in Vernon Hills.
At stake was a $500 donation from restaurant owner Jeff Shapiro to the athletic department of the school whose players consumed, in the shortest amount of time, Real Urban Barbecue's signature Hungry Home Wrecker.
The seven-pound sandwich is composed of a two-pound bun, two pounds of pulled pork, 1½ pounds of andouille sausage, six ounces of pickles and a pint of coleslaw topped by Texas Sauce.
After 35 minutes, the very focused, surprisingly tidy Stevenson High team of Zach Novoselsky, 17, and Blake Drazner, 16, prevailed after one of their opponents suffered what's called a "reversal" in competitive eating parlance.
Champion competitive eater Jamie McDonald, the reigning Hungry Home Wrecker champ who has twice downed the sandwich within the required 40 minutes, declared the Stevenson players the winners.
"Right now, I can't look at food," said Novoselsky, of Buffalo Grove.
"It was rough," said Drazner, adding they applied the same focus to eating as they do to playing football.
"We talked before about how we'd go after it, the same as we do on the field," Novoselsky said. "It's really good food but after a couple of bites, it's a struggle."
The teens were natural choices to represent Stevenson, said 16-year-old James Mahoney, one of about a half-dozen Stevenson players on hand to offer encouragement and the occasional water refill.
At team dinners, "they go back for fourths," Mahoney said.
Joe Blitstein, 16, and Jake Campbell, 16, represented Vernon Hills High.
Blitstein was a shoe-in, said Josh Harris, 17, who was among more than a dozen Vernon Hills players cheering on their teammates.
"Joe was a lock. After a team vote, Jake got the nod," said Harris, of Vernon Hills.
Undeterred by his team's loss, Blitstein vowed to return next year.
"I'm going to practice for it," the Vernon Hills resident joked.
Shapiro said the donation is a way of giving back to the students who patronize his restaurant.
Vernon Hills football coach Bill Bellecomo praised Shapiro and other area business owners for their commitment to the players and the program.
"We're a tight-knit community," he said. "Businesses do a lot to support the players."

Thanks Rev. It just hit me how much your Av fits in with the last part of the poem; almost exactly what I imagined
and FINALLY, some progress pics of what I have done so far with my armor. Not as flashy as most others have posted; I havn't had the time *and just don't have the skill to do it well honestly*, but it's a nice start I think.
Armor and assorted gear I plan to use
Closer shot at the three cheast pieces
Shot of my still unpainted helmet *painting that is next on my to-do list*
And finally, a close-up of my gloves
That's about it. I have a couple pairs of boots I have in mind to possibly use that I forgot to take pics of, but what you see here are the keys I've got in hand. Will take more pics and post just as soon as I get my vest, gauntlets, and COD plate
Any thoughts/suggestions?
I envy it all...so awesome...
Thanks, I'm getting proud of it; wasn't sure I'd be able to stick with it
I haz an update already; my COD came sooner then I was expecting, so here it is.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg17 … date22.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg17 … date21.jpg
I'll post pics of my vest and gauntlets as soon as they arrive; they should take about a week still
Who pays enough attention to make thatse COD plates in detail?
Here's a little something I came up with. As it's a poem, I'll also post it in Si's thread. Hope you enjoy!
Into the Light – A Mandalorian's Fate
Into the light,
Under my proud Father's eyes,
From my loving Mother's womb,
I pass into the light of life
Into the light,
Of childhood's first trials,
Out of my Mother's care and into my Father's protection,
Past are my toys and carefree existence,
New is my blaster and fresh is my first kill,
Down the path of manhood I begin
Into the light,
Of my armor's heavy embrace,
My brothers cheer and my sergeants salute as the title Mandalorian becomes mine,
Clad in armor forged of ore from Mandalore's heart,
The newest Mandalorian am I
Into the light,
Of the strange thing that is love,
My heart burns, yet it pains me not,
Never have I felt what I feel for her,
My soul flies high, yet I stand beside her
Into the warmth of love I enter
Into the light,
Of my first battle's furry,
Many souls does my Basilisk claim as I descend into the glory that is war,
My Father's lessons are clear and my aim is true,
Into the light of victory I march
Into the light,
Of failure's stark chill,
Our wounded scream and my fallen brothers are mourned,
The battle is lost, and my soul is cold,
My first defeat is bitter indeed
Into the light,
Of war's familiar pitch,
My battles are many, as are my scars, but I am still alive,
The blood of thousands is on my hands, and worlds fear my approach,
A Mandalorian Crusader am I
Into the light,
Of my body's final breaths,
My strength is gone, and my eyes grow dim,
The grip of my son is firm, his gloved hand in mine,
A tear in his eye, he whispers to me,
Pass now, into the light my Father,
Your battles are many, and your Honor is great,
March now to the place far away,
And wait for me at Glory's gate
One question: Do you write for a living? Because it seems like you could easily do so.
Wow, that's a hell of a compliment. Really glad you like the story
I don't, but that would be a dream job if I could support myself via writing. If anybody knows any publishers, feel free to put in a good word for me
Also, there's a slightly edited version of the poem there in Si's poetry thread; I think it's a little smoother reading then the one posted here. Thnxs again
good armor so far ralin
its really coming together
(i might just kill you for those gloves)
I can get you the ebay link where I got them; little less dangerous that way, as I might see you comin'
Ralin, that stuff looks awesome...I might just hire Boba to kill you for all of it...
Starting work on my helm! Here she is with a light silver coat and battle damage. Black goes on next
Looking awesome so far, Ralin
almost as cool as me! jk
Thanks much for all the kind comments vode. I finally got to work on my helmet, and here are some early updates.
I know some of the battle damage scars are kinda rough; more of the paint came off then i intended. I plan to do a bit of touching up before everything is done.
I was honestly tempted to leave the style as it is....black and silver are just sooooooooooo nice But my colors stand, and I'm gonna try to add the red to everything silver you see *besides the battle scars of course* next.
that's awesome, Ralin!
Well, my baby here is starting to look VERY familiar. Here's another helmet update:
The visor looks weird because it's got tape over it to protect against scratches when fitting it in there like it is in the pics. It's just sitting there, not fixed into position yet.
I was so anxious as I peeled all the tape away that I was getting the shivers; it's been almost totally covered in plastic and tape since I did the red parts, so I wasn't sure if there was a disaster waiting for me under there or what. Was almost in awe of it when I finally got a good look...like my Av or the helmet of my FanFiction had been handed to me. Awesome to really be progressing with My own personal armor
I'm FAR from done with the helm, as there's a LOT of little details that need to be fixed: little seams that didn't get painted at all, mistakes and overlaps that need to be lined back up, too much paint came up around the damaged areas, and things like that. But I'm confident that the main battle is won as far as paint goes. What I need to focus on now with the Helm is to attach the ears/antenna stalk *which I finally have *, get some sort of liner inside, and the visor fixed into position
So the work goes on, but it's really satisfying to have an obvious advance in my work that I can look at
Very nice Ralin! It looks great! Can't wait to see the final product.
That's too awesome. Love the colours!
Thanks alot vode
The paint isn't really permanent, as i was stupid and didn't wait to get a primer, so my paint isn't holding all that well. I'll probably have to sand the whole thing and start over one of these days. But in the short term I'm really proud of it, and it's really been a great learning experience, so it shouldn't be all that tough to do over when the time comes
Still waiting for my damn vest and gauntlets to arrive.....i think i better contact the seller if they don't show up this week. If they do show up I'll post ASAP
Sanding the piece too would help the paint stick. Are you planning on having it stay that pristine?
awesome job!!
cant wait for a full suit
That is really awesome! the colors look great!
looks just like your avatar (i wonder why).
Very nice Ralin! It does look just like your avatar!

Focke Wulf Fw 190D9 III.SG1 Gerhard Wolff WNr 211000 crash site 1946-01
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Dora
Role: Fighter
The Focke-Wulf Fw-190 Wurger, was a single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft of Germany's Luftwaffe. Used extensively during the Second World War, over 20,000 were manufactured, including around 6,000 fighter-bomber models. Production ran from 1941 to the end of hostilities, during which time the aircraft was continually updated. Its later versions retained qualitative parity with Allied fighter aircraft, but Germany was not able to produce the aircraft in enough numbers to affect the outcome of the war.
The Fw-190 was well-liked by its pilots, and was quickly proven to be superior to the RAF's main front line fighter, the Spitfire Mk. V, on its combat debut in 1941. Compared to the Bf-109, the Fw-190 was a "workhorse", employed in and proved suitable for a wide variety of roles, including air superiority fighter, ground attack, fighter-bomber, long-range bomber escort, and night fighter.

miamicc Posts: 6Like I posted before, I leased my CC for 39 months, $2k down, 15k miles with a $5k insurance at the end to cover any charges for wear and tear. With taxes and all, my payment is a few dollars shy of $600. This was the same payment for an bare bones A4 or a G35, but I wanted something new, and this car certainly is.0
Miami CC, which CC model did you get the Sport or Lux? How much was the cost of the $5k insurance. Thanks and congrats on the new ride.0
time4anewcar Posts: 4I'm looking at the CC Sport -- base model -- and I want a manual transmission. I have two questions:
1. Has anyone seen the Sport 200HP turbo 4 with a sunroof? I've seen two base model manual transmission cars -- but both without a roof. Sad.
2. If you're purchased one of these, what did you pay? MSRP on the car is $27,995.
I noticed that VW's best financing offer on this car is 7.7% (what?!) but I imagine that will change quickly. VW's sales are down YOY, although nowhere nearly as tragically as the domestic automakers. I'm sure even the CC will have deals shortly.0
1) Nope the Sport does not come with a Sunroof that is only on the Lux models, which cannot be had with the MT. BTW not sure if you know the sunroof doesnt actually slide open it just tilts up a couple of inches.
2) I havent actually pulled the trigger yet also looking for a MT Sport 2.0 CC but waiting for my current lease to expire in Feb 09. I have been offered from 300-500 over invoice and that was really without any negotiating. This was for dealers in NJ and Eastern PA. Saying that though I hear the CC's are selling well since they are being bought by VW enthusiasts and previuous customers.0
The whole no open sunroof would bug me, also I would miss the rear middle seat. Otherwise it would be perfect. Hopefully they didn't set their options and pricing too high for this car. This is not a time to mess around. I am sure it will do fine. This car won't be an option for me though.0
Just leased new cc sport with auto/sirius radio, 36 months with 12k miles per year. MSRP was 29,015, selling price was 26,503 (1079 below invoice). Money factor of .00124, and residual of 55 percent. Payment is 392 per month. Only paid 1st month payment and liscense at signing. Dealer also cutting me a check for 869 to pay for last 2 payments and excess mileage on current jetta lease. I think I did ok.0
blottzspottz Posts: 3Sirius is that expensive??!! Cuz the invoice on KBB for that car is 26754 so did Sirius cost you 700 bucks??0
rayc13 Posts: 1I bought a MT Sport from Cook VW in Encinitas, Ca late November. The only option was a Sirius radio. I paid $26,250 plus T&L and they were able to find the exact color/interior I wanted within 24 hours. In addition, they had a set of new Luxury wheels and tires that they put on for an additional $100 as I like the look of the Luxury wheels better. I love the car and am getting 28 mpg in mixed driving. What I also noticed is that the car has many features that are either not available on the base Sport or are options according to the brochure. Power seat with memory, power passanger seat, auto dimming rearview mirror, rain sensing wipers and so on.0
Leased a 2009 CC Sport last week.
36 mo. 15K miles
$1500 total out of pocket
$399 / mo. including tax0
sirius radio was an extra 400 appx..there was a few add'l taxes/fees that california charges, but aren't listed on kbb.0
Congrats on the new lease. I'm looking for a similar lease and wanted to know more about the car... what add-ons did you get with the CC Sport to get an MSRP of $29,000?
automatic and sirius radio0
No problem
I'm sorry I did'nt get back to post sooner.
Like what was noted the car came with automatic and sirius.
I'm sure that you can do better than I did
with my lease 2 weeks ago 1/15
Prob by $30.00 less per month.0
What a day! I went out looking at a 350z Roadster and came home excited for the future VW CC i'll be leasing.
Really like the sport with the automatic trans. I test drove the 6 speed and found it incredibly nice but still a bit weird to drive a "sport" sedan of this size with a manual. Will see how the DSG feels in a week or two when I'm ready.
I did inquire about a 36mo high mileage (18k per year) lease. They gave me figures of $385 a month with $1,500 down. I didnt really dig deep into car selling price and if that includes all OTD fees, but sounds like a pretty good deal compared to what I'm seeing out there.
Anyone care to chime in? I do plan on going email blasting different dealerships when the time comes. How do you even calculate residual on a high mileage lease ??? I only see 12k and 15k residuals online....suggestions?0
I got the CC for $23,855 for a Silver 6 Speed MT and got $9800 for my trade in on a '06 Accord Coupe EX 5-Speed with 71k miles.0
that sounds too good to be true, are they really selling these cars below invoice?? What part of the country...and did you buy or lease?0
im in los angeles, and i leased0
Wow. Would you mind disclosing some of the more detailed information like yearly mileage and monthly payment....what did you put down? You can PM me if you're more comfortable. Would love to hear what you've come up with as Im looking at the same car Thanks!0
Yes, they are selling these cars below invoice. I bought the car, and financed through VW ($1000 incentive). I'm in Milford, MA, near Worcester. I think the $1000 VW finance incentive is only for Northeast states.0
Will see how the DSG feels in a week or two when I'm ready
unfortunately it's not a DSG...just a regular 6 spd auto.0
I realized that after I typed it. Kind of stinks, but I don't know if I could drive a 6-speed sedan through 30 miles of crowded city streets. Will see soon enough though.....
Also considering the IS250 AWD, since they have awesome leases on that vehlce at the moment. Not sure if it is as SEXY as the CC is. I touched the CC and fell in love.0
I talked to a VW salesman today and the initial number he through out to entice me in was "under invoice"...not a bad point to start from; although I doubt they have much more room...0
lol, I really think most VW are sexy, if such can be called that. I love them. Been a big fan of them. They just have this zoom zoom around town, classy type feel to them...lol anyway. :blush:0
I am so ashamed. I've been scammed twice by Yorkdale Volkswagon o/b 2031113. I know I should have been more on the ball. I probably cannot do anything about it. Hopefully, others will not make the same mistakes as me. Shop elsewhere.
I leased a new VW Passat CC through this dealer. They used an offer to lease form which doesn't include the selling price of the vehicle on it. They told me the purchasing price was $34,735,which included the base price of $31,975 + $1,400 for auto transmission and $1,360 for freight and PDI. The leasing company is VW Credit Canada Inc. The numbers were the same as posted on VW Canada's website. The monthly payments were a little more than what I wanted to pay so I asked if they could lower the purchase price enough to make the monthly lease payment an amount of $350 per month (this included an $8,000 trade-in). The salesman told me that he required my credit card in order to present this to his manager. He came back with a reworked offer to lease form and told me I have a deal. At that time, the salesman took my ownership papers for the car I was going to trade-in.
What they did not tell me was that they retained the same purchase price, but increased the amount I would have to pay up front, not to mention that they used a slightly higher interest rate to calculate the lease payments than the amount posted on VW Canada's website. After I released what they did, I called the new car sales manager to complain and ask for my $1,000 deposit back. He would not give back the deposit. He agreed to reduce the up-front payment by $700, while maintaining everything else the same. Further I was told that I could have the car in the colour scheme that I wanted by the end of the week. I later found out that they do not have the car I wanted, and promised to order one for me from the manufacturer. The car arrived three weeks later. It did not come from directly the manufacturer. Instead, they acquired it from another dealer and had a manufacture date that was five months old, meaning it had sat through the Canadian winter -- they did not disclose this to me.
When I picked up the car and fill out the leasing paperwork, the leasing rate offered by VW Credit Canada had dropped from 4.9 to 2.9%. The dealer had forms for me to sign which stated that the interest rate was 2.9% but the monthly payments or up-front payments had not changed. The residual value had been lowered by a mere $340.00. Again the purchase price was not disclosed on the new offer to lease form. When I pointed out that the lower interest rate should have a more significant effect on lowering either the up-front payments or the monthly lease payments, I was told that the effect was minimal. The Business Manager told me that they made $250 and he would make it up to me in services. At this point they already had my car and my insurance had already been transferred to the new car. So I just took his word for it. However, the lease agreement itself, which is an entirely different document, only presented to me after all of the above had occurred, contained a Vehicle Selling Price that was $37,662.83. This price was significantly higher than the MSRP of the vehicle, and when I questioned it I was told it includes freight, security deposit and first month payments as well as some other small charges. Not having a computer with me at the dealership, these items cannot be easily checked. After getting home, I realized they the selling price only included freight, not security deposit and first month payment and was $3,319.83 above the selling price I had agreed to. Do I have any recourse against this dealer? :sick: :sick: :sick:0
Title should be Scammed by Yorkdale Volkswagen (Toronto)0
I probably cannot do anything about it. Hopefully, others will not make the same mistakes as me. Shop elsewhere and don't buy Volkswagen.
I reported my case where the dealership (Yorkdale Volkswagen o/b as 2031113 Ontario Limited) engaged in unfair practices involving false, misleading, deceptive and unconscionable representations, VW Canada called the dealer and said the dealer was not willing to do anything and VW Canada also said that they would take no further action. And I had to beg them to even make the phone call by reminding them that their dealers are a reflection of them and they should care about their reputation. Apparently, they are not too concerned about consumers. :sick:0
Not sure I understand completely...
You went to the dealership to lease a car but did not drive the one you wanted? Then gave them $1000 on top of your $8000 trade in before you had a chance to sit in the car? They then found a car for you and had lowered the interest 2% with no change in monthly payment? You signed all the papers and drove your new car home; then noticed the vehicle's MSRP had risen over $3k (I'm assuming this is JUST the MSRP...and not MSRP plus sales tax)
Something does seem fishy...although you should/do have the option to walk out of the deal at anytime before driving off the show room floor. Although it may have been a hassle transferring insurance etc...
I think its common practice for dealers to trade cars to get the one you want quicker (sitting through one winter shouldn't matter...it's leased...and you live where you live...).
Sounds like you were in a rush not to notice a $3,319.83 until you got home...
Cars are such big (depreciating) investments...I usually take A LOT of time reading all the fine print and asking them to explain all the little things to me...they're on the clock not me -- I have all day
And...I've learned to stay away from leases...they never work out for me...
I doubt you can do anything...other than write it off as an expensive learning lesson.0
Leaving out some of the details/antics involved in my first encounter -- I went to the dealership to lease a car, They took a $1,000 deposit and took my ownership papers on the vehicle I was trading in and had me sign an Offer to Lease form (which is different than a Lease Agreement). They told me I'd have the car by the end of the week. (Believe me, there's more about this encounter that I have l left out as well as my call to the sales manager the following business day.)
About one week later, they call me and tell me they don't have the car it in the colour I wanted and tried to get me to take another colour. By this time (a) I had already asked for my deposit back twice and they refused, and (b) the interest rate on leases offered by VW Credit dropped to 2.9%. They tell me they ordered the car from Volkswagen Canada and mine would be the first one to arrive from the port. Two weeks later (and three weeks after our first meeting in which they took the $1,000 deposit) they delivered the car. Upon arriving to at the dealership, they took my keys and car before giving me a chance to even inspect the new car or look at the lease agreement. They had a pre-prepared Offer to Lease form (another one) as well as a lease agreement. Their Offer to Lease forms do not disclose selling prices. The Lease Agreement does -- but besides the MSRP it includes freight and some small charges. I certainly asked about it, but they lied to me about what made up that number. And I certainly noticed the 2.9% interest rate telling them that it should have some effect on my monthly payments. I also told them that I didn't want to sign that lease agreement and they told me the only choice I had was to sign this or sign a lease agreemnt with the previous 4.9%. I did swear at them. They "admitted" to making $250 extra on the change in interest rate. This was obviously a lie that I did not discover until later. I really didn't want to have to leave the dealership on foot. And I had alot going on at home at the time, so I just took their word for it. Yes, I signed all the papers and drove the new car home.
What I discovered was they had padded the selling price to ensure the mothly payments remained the same and they could pocket an extra $3,319.83 of "profit", at my expense of course..
Note that selling price and MSRP are two different things. The MSRP is set by the manufacture and did not change. The final selling price was $3,319.83 more than we had agreed and $2,619.83 more than the MSRP (including the freight,etc.). Sales tax it seems is not included in the selling price.0
the whole situation sounds bad...did anything go right?
Aside from being ripped off...how do you like the car? Did the dealership taint your enjoyment of driving your new car?0

Prediction: Story progress in episode 6
To divert from the religious wars whether or not Mitsuki is a demon or angel a bit ...
Anyone willing to make predictions what's going to happen in episode 6?
What will be the aftereffects of Haruka's coma?
How will the characters deal with it?
How will this affect the relationships between the characters?

I think it will start with Takayuki going to see Haruka in the hospital, and Mitsuki won't go to avoid facing Akane.
Maybe this will create some tension between Mitsuki and Takayuki, since they can't tell her they are going out.

Hmmm ... I don't think so. After all, it was Mitsuki who literally dragged Takayuki to the hospital, and who shoved him to get close to Haruka.
Okay, my shot into the blue to start with:
1) I'd expect the "time stopped for Haruka" complication to resurface somehow. Takayuki/Mitsuki will have to go into "pretend mode" so that Haruka doesn't realize what has happened (and consecutively, how much time has passed)
2) Takayuki will do what he does best: Being indecisive while being caught in the middle.
3) Akane will push the both of them hard to get Takayuki back to Haruka. Another rash guilt trip delivered to Mitsuki will hit her hard enough to agree at least to "pretend mode".
4) Mitsuki will return to what she does best: Agree to play "nothing has happened", probably even encouraging Takayuki to do this, and suffer like hell while nobody is looking.
5) Haruka will be her caring sweet self and try to comfort Takayuki, who will be shaking in the wind.
How's that for a start?

I think they'll start fast-forwarding a bit as Haruka continues her rehab. I think they'll probably start with Haruka finally back on her feet.
There's also some room for more flashbacks, specifically dealing with the eyar immediately after the accident. They could show some things like Akane's development and her growing attachment to Narumi during this period. Deal with some general Mitsuki angst, maybe bring Shinji into it a bit, etc. Although I think there's a good chance they'll hold off on the flashbacks for future eps.
I don't know if they'll do this but...Narumi and Mitsuki levels with Haruka, and she takes it like a soldier but begins to cry. THey move in to comfort her, and then she suddenly stops, having forgotten al about the conversation. Cut the shot of their horrified expressions as they realize that telling her is meanigless as all that will happen is to make her suffer, over and over again. So they decide to pretend that nothing has changed.

There could be more flashbacks but I don't think they'll fastforward yet. They will set up the inevitable Mitsuki Takayuki breakup that should happen in either this or the next episode.
If they separate the main characters now they'll be on even footing in the later part of the series. They must get Mitsuki (temporarily) out of the picture. Othervise I don't see how they'll be able to give Haruka much screentime.

GUTB: What a wicked idea (using Haruka's short-time amnesia like this) ... I'd expect this scene to take a longer while before happening (though if they jump ahead in time again, it might be just around the corner, you never know with this one), but that would be brilliant ... and cruel at the same time.
Well, someone once told me that a good story writer needs to be cruel and rip apart the lives of the main characters for maximum effect. That would be ... evil. And soooo powerful.

Finally i got to see ep5 >_<
Now i think i'm becoming a _long haired_ Mitsuki fanboy [although i'm pretty dedicated to Haruka]. Akane comes pretty close too...
Impressive how the plot is thought so that you can't really side with a certain person. I forsee and prepare myself for the 3 major hard crashes in the feelings of Haruka, Akane and Mitsuki {since Narumi still remains a mindless zombie} ::
1. Major crash of Haruka when she finds out how much time passed and what happened between Narumi & Mitsuki
2. Major crash of Mitsuki when she will be rejected by Narumi who will have a renewed crash on Haruka. In this category we can put the other version - Mitsuki sacrificing her feelings again for Narumi and leaving him to stay with Haruka {who still doesn't know how much time passed}
3. Major crash of Akane when she will find out what happened in the hospital in the day Narumi was asked not to visit Haruka anymore, and its implications {Mitsuki - caught in the act}
Sidenote: observe the contrast now between Haruka's previous short hair and Mitsuki's long hair, and the current inverted situation. {besides, long haired Hayase rulz. Long haired Haruka too. Ah, and long haired Akane as well}
I'm really looking forward to seeing ep 6

Episode 6 will probably focus on Haruka recovering from coma and also how everybody else reacts to her awakening. One thing is for sure, this will be another super depressing episode.
Edit: By reaction I meant the initial reaction and the shock they encountered when they learned and saw that Haruka's time was setback to 3 years ago. They will try their best to conceal the truth to Haruka but also found it's very difficult to do so.

What i think we could see in episode 6 is some Takayuki and Mitsuki relationship development (this i think is lacking in the anime so far compared to the game). Haruka's lack of sense of time and recovery from her coma will also be a factor in this episode which will lead to the decision for Takayuki and Mitsuki to role play for a bit for Haruka's sake.
A prediction out of left field is an Akane side story and how she developed feelings for Takayuki.....

Claremont, Calif. – York College women's track & field freshman standout Jasmine Smith competed in her first NCAA Outdoor National Championships on Thursday as she leapt 5.34 meters (17' 6.25") and finished 22nd overall.
"I know she is extremely disappointed with her performance today, but we are extremely proud of her and her accomplishments this season, Spartan head coach Erick Camodeca noted. "There is no disappointment in ending your freshman year at the national meet. Her performance here has left her wanting more, which will continue to motivate her for a return trip next year."
Despite the less-than-desirable result, Smith put together a tremendous rookie campaign. Most notably, she became the first woman Spartan in the history of the York College track & field program to ever qualify for the NCAA National Championships in any event. During the year, she picked up Capital Athletic Conference titles in both the indoor and outdoor long jumps while she was named the league's Outdoor Rookie of the Year on the women's side. She established new program records in both the indoor (5.33 meters) and outdoor (5.69 meters) long jump, respectively. In total, Smith put her name in the Spartan record book in eight events this season, which, along with the long jump, included a number of sprinting events during both the indoor and outdoor campaigns.

A state agency on Tuesday approved the sale of $1.9 billion in tax-exempt bonds to help Kaiser Foundation Hospitals build six new medical centers, expand an existing one and construct a specialty medical office.
It was the largest transaction ever approved by the California Health Facilities Financing Authority.
The authority was created in 1979 to enable the state to assist public and nonprofit health care providers such as Kaiser through loans funded by tax-exempt bonds.
Kaiser plans to use the money to help pay for replacing its Oakland, Hayward, Redwood City and, in Southern California, Harbor City, Fontana and Anaheim medical centers to meet state seismic requirements.
It will also use the money to help finance expansion of its Los Angeles Medical Center and construction of an Antelope Valley medical office building.
"We're pleased to help Kaiser finance projects that will help improve the delivery of health care for millions of their patients throughout California," said state Treasurer Bill Lockyer, chairman of the authority.
"This deal will also help residents in underserved communities," Lockyer said in a written statement. "Unlike any other issuer in the state, (the financing authority) uses fee revenues not needed to cover its operational costs to provide low-cost loans and grants to small and rural clinics so they can build facilities, buy equipment and expand access to care."
A Kaiser executive lauded the deal, saying it will enable Kaiser to better serve its patients.

When Samantha Jennings and Samantha Raymor first heard of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, they were stunned like many across the nation.
FORT WALTON BEACH � When Samantha Jennings and Samantha Raymor first heard of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, they were stunned like many across the nation.
The two friends talked about the tragedy on Facebook and shared their desire to do something positive in its wake. They started brainstorming ideas.
The duo began collecting �Super Bears� � teddy bears with capes and inspirational messages attached to them � to send to Sandy Hook Elementary.
�Every little kid needs a super hero,� Jennings said.
However, Newtown, Conn., had asked a few days ago that no more teddy bears be sent, as the town was flooded with donations from all over the world. Jennings and Raymor now plan to send the bears to young victims of Hurricane Sandy, patients at St. Jude Children�s Research Hospital and police departments, which use bears to comfort children.
�This is still in memory of the children from Connecticut,� Raymor said.
On Wednesday, a donation rally was held at Uptown Station�s Central Park. About 40 bears and 25 people attended, including local musicians Nik Flagstar and Micky Mouth.
Besides a handmade cape, each bear will carry with it a message of hope or inspiration for its recipient.
�This is to remind kids they�re not alone and on their own,� Jennings said. �Somebody out there cares.�
The response from businesses and organizations has been amazing, Jennings said. The Hard Rock Caf� in Destin simply heard about the effort and donated a number of limited edition teddy bears. Uptown Station donated the venue for the rally. And the Association of the Wicked, a national organization that helps charities, donated bears and some capes.
People from all over the world also have responded. Requests for ways to help have come from as far away as the United Kingdom, Jennings said. Just through Facebook, the word has gotten out.
Rebecca Shandrick, a friend of Raymor�s, said she also was moved to do something after the shooting. Although the bears will not go to Newtown, they still will go to those who need them most, she said.
�It�s just coming from the heart,� Shandrick said of Super Bears. �It�s letting people know not everyone is bad.�

ACI installs terrazzo in new construction and restoration projects in the city of Yorba Linda because of the many benefits it offers. Among these are strength, durability, long life span, affordability, it is environmentally friendly and recyclable. The process utilizes an innovative aggregate placement with epoxy and cement, finished with a grinding and polishing system that brings out the natural beauty in this finish that is called terrazzo.
Terrazzo finishes produce a highly reflective surface that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but reduces the amount of lighting necessary which cuts electrical and maintenance costs and increases durability. All of these steps seal the floor and polish it to a matte, satin, or glossy finish. ACI uses environmentally safe methods.
ACI has processes for the following uses:
Residential floors
Retail floors
Office floors
Warehouse floors
We offer two options for terrazzo flooring: epoxy and cement in the city of Yorba Linda. The difference between the two is the mix matrix. The price difference is material and installation. Both materials use the same aggregate sizes (marble, glass, shells, etc.). The cost fluctuates depending on the aggregate used. The least expensive per pound is lighter earth tone marble chips. The most expensive per pound is cobalt blue and abalone. The price for both systems includes the use of divider strips. Divider strips are a very important factor for both systems that allows for long-term floor stability during contraction and expansion, the same as control joints for concrete. If you live in Yorba Linda and would like us to give you a quick estimate over the phone, please call 1-888-287-0524.
Terrazzo alternatives
ACI has spent years developing the techniques to install a unique polished terrazzo flooring system that is cutting edge, beautiful, low maintenance and one-of-a-kind. Broadcasting aggregate into cement can create some unique and elegant finishes, it can be infused with different color combinations of unique aggregate, designer glass fragments, and even glow-in-the-dark engineered stone. Every surface is unique to your design and color combinations. Polished cement terrazzo is a great alternative to some terrazzo systems.
Endless color combinations
One-of-a-kind surface
All the benefits of polished concrete
Ability to infuse the concrete with different materials
Equal to terrazzo surface in looks, cost, and maintenance ease
Perfect flooring system for public & private projects
Significant reduction in your buildings operational cost
Create a flooring solution that fits your project.

MANATEE COUNTY -- A St. Petersburg company has joined the local rental property purchasing fray, paying more than $200,000 for four foreclosures in Manatee since the beginning of the year.
MAZ Fencing LLC, a company records show is managed by Alex Plotkin, has gotten considerable deals for the properties, paying 70 percent less than the previous owners in two transactions.
The company joins the likes of The Blackstone Group, which has bought at least 276 rental properties in Sarasota and Manatee, and the Minnetonka, Minn.-based Two Harbors Investment Corp., which bought at least 82, records show.
For MAZ Fencing, one property on 28th Avenue Drive in Bradenton went for a 72 percent discount from its 2006 sale, while another on 29th Avenue West went for a 69 percent discount.
This month, another large buyer emerged in the region: Fundamental REO, which since late November has bought 14 homes from Parrish to North Port for a total of $1.4 million, records show.
These big players have embarked on buying sprees of distressed homes -- a vast shift away from the boom-time trend of individual investors flipping houses for quick profit. Some market watchers contend that these rental investors have the potential to dramatically alter Southwest Florida's real estate landscape, in 2013 and beyond, by reducing an already tight housing supply and pushing out traditional home buyers who cannot compete with cash-heavy buyers.

Michael Wong necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 84 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Cohesive Minds / COHESIVE MINDS (open to either)
We are looking for an original, modern, fun logo that will be used on our new company blog and business cards (design open to winner).
We are a brand new digital apps start-up company specializing in creating online digital applications that offer a fantastic user experience for online users.
We are a small 3 person company with big dreams of creating digital apps that offer a fantastic user experience. We also like to have fun, and help those less fortunate than us.
The logo should appeal to active 18 to 49 year old, male and female (majority), online users who actively use the internet.
Our first product is a niche price comparison website to help 25-34 year old females (majority of users) save time and money. Having said that, don't just think 'time' or 'money' with the design concept. This is just the nature of our first product. We will probably branch out into other niches in future products.
Try Cohesive Minds and COHESIVE MINDS.
The logo will be used on our company blog, using this theme, possibly a lighter shade of gray. So, the logo must look good on a dark background, but also on a white background if we decide to change the design.
The logo will also be used on our business cards, so must also look clear and sharp in print.
The name came from the fact that the company is about connecting people.
To give you some direction, we are looking for an original, modern, contemporary look, so think 'young', 'fun', 'modern', and 'digital'.
We like clever yet simple logos, like these examples:
That doesn't mean the logo has to look like those examples. We are open to all original creative designs.
Feel free to experiment with bright and bold colors for a fun look.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .png and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art.
Avoid the dark, mysterious, grunge look; complex designs, colors like lime green, reflections, drop shadows, etc. Keep it clean and simple.
Also avoid the side profile of a head (e.g. cognitivematch.com) because this design is very common. However, if you can come up with a new interesting twist on that concept, then we're open to it.

Royal baby
Britain's Prince William and his wife, Catherine -- aka the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge -- are expecting their first child this summer. Remembering how Royals-crazy the world went when William & Kate were married in 2011, we're guessing a lot of goodwill is headed that new baby's way.
