Saturday: Gnarly Waves, Dude!

Administrivial Solving Tips Alert: The question of how to solve a puzzle that has rebus elements in it when you are solving on computer — whether you are on Mac or PC, solving in Across Lite or the applet — has come up, and I’d like to direct your attention to a new category on the right-hand side of the page in the Blogroll called Solving Tips. In it we will be putting helpful tips for (wait for it) solving. Our own Martin Herbach was kind enough to research and write up a new page about how to enter multiple letters for rebus entries, and there is an interesting article from puzzlemaster Will Shortz. Stay tuned for more additions, and if there is anything else you would like to see there, please contact me at deb.amlen@nytimes.com.

What have I said since the beginning? You practice, and you stick with it, and sooner or later it pays off. Most weeks you fill in one word at a time, you put it down, you stomp around the house cursing roundly at the grid, you come back to it and fill in one more word. But every week, you get a little farther. I told you, didn’t I? Sorry, I’m just very pleased with myself today.

“It” is The New York Times crossword puzzle of course, and today is a special day for me because for the first time ever, I was able to muscle my way through a Saturday grid with no help. No Googling, no peeking at the answers, no burning of special, crossword herbal smudge sticks (it can help, really it can.)

Just me against the puzzle, mano a crucigrama , and that’s to be easy on a Saturday. Saturday puzzles are meant to be a humbling experience, and that’s just what they were when I started. But when your friends tell you that they couldn’t possibly tackle a New York Times crossword puzzle because they’re just so hard, sit them down and tell them the tale of ol’ Deb Amlen. Tell them how she cursed and screamed and pulled her hair until one day, after being contractually obligated to do them each week (the beatings are just awful if I don’t), she filled in the last square on a Saturday puzzle and sat back with amazement as she realized that she had finally conquered The Beast. They probably won’t believe you, in which case you should just hand them a copy of Amy Reynaldo’s How To Conquer The New York Times Crossword Puzzle and tell them to get cracking.

I am planning to travel to Canada and get back within couple of days. I had my H1 extended while I was in US and therefore don't have the H1 stamp in my passport. I had read somewhere that if you travel to adjacent countries (Canada and Mexico) and get back within 30 days then you will be allowed in to US without the H1 stamp in the passport as long as you have the H1 approval (I-797) letter. Immigration � not imitation � might be the sincerest form of flattery. The United States was built on a tradition of attracting and assimilating the best and brightest from around the world. But the economic crisis is stirring cries of protectionism, in effect closing our borders to highly skilled immigrants who wish to study, contribute and invest in the U.S. More than a half-million non-U.S. citizens are enrolled here in higher-education programs, but when they graduate, we tell them to pack their bags and escort them to the border. Should we instead, as venture capitalist John Doerr famously said, "staple a green card to their diplomas"? Could a visa policy shift � not only for students, but also for entrepreneurs and high-tech workers � be a force for economic stimulus, reducing excess housing inventory and increasing America's human capital? I recommend coming up with a generic contract for us sponsors. To convey mutual fairness and not serve as a means to funding a black hole, let the contract state that if we do not receive cheques worth total XYZ..... amount by PQR..... date, you shall refund the cheques unused. I and others shall work with you to seek more support for this noble cause. If you have a time and enery, contact USCIS and ombudusman explain the situation and looby to award EAD and AP for a peoples who is in US legally with 140 was approved (irrespective of AOS or CP filled or not). This way you can gather lot of 140 approved guys affected by retrogression. Awarding EAD and AP for 140 approved guys, does not requre a law change. It is a policy of USCIS. On top of that it is a revenue USCIS. If USCIS is satisfyed as a legitimate claim, they can consider this. However, AC21 and job change privilage may not be possible for CP guys, perhaps it may require a law change. This one change can help alleviate lot of suffering among the EB immigrant community. But USCIS is likely to resist as much as it can.
