While creating and building Shale Oak we kept a keen eye on sustainability in every facet, striving to make the smallest impact possible on our surrounding environment. Above Grade Engineering and Elutriate Systems both helped us achieve some of our goals.
Above Grade Engineering
Above Grade's focus was on designing a comprehensive water plan for the entire site, and coordinating and connecting it with systems put in place by other members of the team.
In order to make best use of rainwater, a bioswale was recommended and installed. It allows vegetation to use the water, encouraging it to percolate back into the ground instead of running off site and affecting streams and creeks. To capture any increased runoff, a basin area was created in the lowest corner of the property. Water is pumped from it to holding tanks for landscape and vineyard irrigation, supplementing wells that tend to get low toward the end of the season. This reclaimed water is also used for toilet flushing.
In addition to designing other elements of water reuse, Above Grade recommended concrete and decomposed granite in parking and driving areas. These materials are lighter than black pavement, reflecting light rather than creating hot spots, and the decomposed granite lets water back into the ground instead of running off.
Elutriate Systems
As water treatment and reclamation are critical elements to a sustainably built winery, a highly experienced engineering firm specializing in the design, installation and service of wastewater systems was hired. Elutriate Systems designed and installed a cutting-edge bioreactor system.
They also implemented the plan put forth by Above Grade Engineering, including a rain harvesting plan, water run-off reclamation system, and reverse osmosis system. These all work in concert to treat winery wastewater, convert it to compost tea, and use it for landscape irrigation. Also to collect and reuse rainwater as well as water run-off, and send to holding tanks for later use, generally minimizing the draw on the land.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
It is possible to use some USB hubs without a power supply, however, doing so may prevent the USB hub or certain high-power USB peripherals from operating. It is always recommended to use an included power supply with a USB hub when possible.
When a power adapter is not used on a hub that comes with a power adapter, power is drawn from the USB port on the computer and then divided between the ports on the hub. This reduces the power delivery to individual ports and high-powered USB peripherals, such as external hard drives, may not start.
On USB hubs that can use a power adapter, more power can be supplied to USB ports than what is possible with a single USB port.
If your USB peripherals require power adapters, they probably do not require power from the USB port and can be used on a USB hub without a power adapter. With USB peripherals that use power adapters, the USB ports on the hub are only used for data transfer and do not draw power from the hub.
USB peripherals that require low power (for example, keyboards and mice) can be used on hubs without a power adapter, in conjunction with other low-power USB peripherals. In this case, power is drawn from the computer's USB port, as described above.
USB-C is a type of USB connector that is capable of supporting the following:
- Data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, if you use USB 3.1.
- Bi-directional power delivery up to 100W, if both the USB host connection and the device support it.
- Alternate modes, which deliver different types of data at different speeds. For example, DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode).
If using Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C, the connection is capable of additional features. For example, Thunderbolt 3 is capable of 40Gbps of total bandwidth. For more information, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/thunderbolt-3-port-capabilities.
Not all USB-C ports or devices are capable of supporting all of the features listed above, or all of the features at the maximum capabilities. If you require a specific USB-C feature, your USB host connection, cables, and device must all support the feature that you require. For more information about whether your components support specific USB-C features, refer to the information provided by the manufacturers.
When you troubleshoot issues with a USB hub, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
USB A-to-B cable
Computer USB port
USB peripheral(s)
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the USB cable and USB peripheral(s) in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different USB cable, USB port, and USB peripheral in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the hub, make sure that you do the following:
If a power adapter is included, provide power to the USB hub.
Attach a USB peripheral. The USB hub will not appear in any hardware listings on your system, but USB devices do appear when they are connected.
Install the drivers for the USB peripheral.
Install the latest drivers for the USB controller and motherboard chipset.
Note: No drivers or software are required for the USB hub to work with your operating system. The USB hub works independently of software and works with any operating system.
When testing your USB peripherals, make sure that you do the following:
If required, attach external power.
Confirm that the peripheral works on a standard USB port.
If the USB peripheral(s) can be detected on a standard USB port and not on the hub, do the following:
Use a new USB A-to-B cable.
Test your setup using basic USB peripherals, such as a keyboard or mouse.
Test using another USB port.

Maine hospital releases young skier who survived 2 nights in the wilds
FARMINGTON, Maine (AP) � A 17-year-old boy who was found alive and well after going missing for two nights near a ski resort has been discharged from a Maine hospital.
A spokeswoman for Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington says Nicholas Joy of Medford, Mass., was released at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Spokeswoman Jill Gray could not give any further details.
Joy got lost on the back side of Sugarloaf Mountain after skiing with his father Sunday. After an extensive search involving 85 people, Joy was found Tuesday morning on an access road by a snowmobiler who went out looking for him.
The teenager built a shelter fashioned out of snow and hemlock branches and drank from stream water while looking for help. Rescuers say Joy used his head and was in remarkably good shape.

Research Interests
I am an archaeologist interested in material culture variability in the African Stone Age record, specifically, in how this variability relates to modern human origins, paleodemography and biogeography. I work on the development of quantitative methods to assess these relationships.
I am additionally interested in field data, and the accuracy and reliability of different field data collection protocols. I am particularly interested in how different approaches to field-work and excavation may have shaped how archaeologists tend to synthesize the African past. I am involved in field projects in Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Lesotho and South Africa.

Mount Beerwah is the highest of the 10 volcanic plugs that make up the Glass House Mountains. It has two peaks, the taller of which is 556 metres high making it one of the most visually prominent mountains in south-east Queensland. The north face of the mountain features a dramatic, inward leaning cliff face known as the Organ Pipes. At its base are a number of small caves.
Only fit and experienced climbers should attempt to reach the summit. It's a 2.6 kilometre return journey and it will take at least three to four hours. Climbers should plan on taking at least two to three litres of water per person for the journey. Always take another person with you and make sure you let people know where you're going and what time they can expect you back.
Access the climbing trail via the picnic area. The route takes you through wet eucalypt forest before opening up into heath, dotted with grass trees and banksias, as you climb towards the summit. At the summit you are rewarded with stunning 360 degree views of the coast, other Glass House peaks and the D'Aguilar Range to the west.

Fulham manager Martin Jol praised the all-round influence of star striker Dimitar Berbatov following the Whites' 2-1 victory over Newcastle at Craven Cottage.
Jol's side had not won in seven games but took the lead through a deflected Steve Sidwell effort and secured a much-needed three points when Hugo Rodallega headed home just nine minutes after Hatem Ben Arfa had levelled for the visitors.
Jol said: "We had that spell (of poor results) that started against Sunderland with the red card and two big injuries for us. That was very disappointing for us and then after that we couldn't play Bryan Ruiz - he was out for four weeks for us. I was happy that Berbatov, after talking to him, could fill in that role (behind the striker)."
He went on: "It was vital, he didn't score so that was disappointing, but on the other hand he linked us up and kept the team together - I was very happy with him."
Berbatov's arrival was hailed as something of a coup for Jol and according to the Dutchman, both he and his squad are aware of how important the former Spurs striker is to Fulham.
"The good thing about my squad is that they realise Berbatov is an outstanding player," he said.
"For me the most important thing is that after losing (Clint) Dempsey - who is making the difference for Spurs now, as well as (Mousa) Dembele plus Danny Murphy and Bryan Ruiz (through injury) I'm very happy that he came to this club because otherwise maybe we could have ended up with a little problem."
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew, who has not seen his side win away from St James' Park since May 2, was also full of praise for Berbatov's performance.
"He was special tonight," he said.
"Everything he seemed to pluck out of the sky, everything seemed to die on his toe - he was a real problem. I thought we did much better in the second half with him but he is a class act when he is in the mood and when the TV cameras are here and he is a real problem."

Sam Worthington has gone to battle with the Navi in "Avatar" and taken on the gods in "Clash of the Titans" — but is the Aussie action superstar ready for his fiercest opponent yet – Carrie Bradshaw and the Fab Four?
When Access Hollywood's Billy Bush caught up with Sarah Jessica Parker and the "Sex and The City" gals in Las Vegas for ShoWest 2010 last week, the girls joked their new movie had added a few exciting new twists to compete with the other blockbusters.
"[It's] 3-D!" Sarah Jessica told Billy. "It has a lot to do with battles…"
"And there's a serpent that rises from the water," Kristin Davis added.
"And Sam Worthington is in it!" SJP concluded.
As far as Sam is concerned – sign him up!
"Like I'm the 3-D poster boy or something?!" he laughed while talking with Access Hollywood at the "Clash of the Titans" press junket in Hollywood on Saturday. "I'll go on 'Sex and The City' — damn straight! They're good looking ladies."
As for the idea that "Sex and The City 2" should be released in 3-D, Sam said that would really be something to see.
"Sex and The City 3-D – that's an awesome idea. A Jimmy Choo shoe coming at you!" he laughed. "I'd go see that."
In fact, Sam – who takes on the role of Perseus in the "Clash of the Titans" reboot – said there was one "SATC" girl in particular he'd like to check out.
"I'd go see Charlotte in 3-D," he smiled of "SATC's" resident Upper East Side good girl.
For now, Sam is perfectly happy sticking to the realm of big budget action films like "Terminator Salvation," "Avatar" and "Clash of the Titans." Down the road, however, would he ever consider taking on a romantic comedy?
"Yeah, me and Christian Bale in a romantic comedy – who's gonna go see that?!" he joked. "I do movies that I would go and see. As far as I'm concerned, I like these big boy movies at the moment. That's what I'm into."
Although it appears there is one rom-com leading lady Sam is willing to spend his time – and his money – on.
"I would go and see Reese Witherspoon's movies," he grinned.

Marchesa designs 'Hurricane Sandy' relief T-shirt
It's been almost four months since superstorm Sandy blew through Long Island and the surrounding areas, but many are still trying to recover.
To help, Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman has designed a one-of-a-kind I love New York T-shirt to benefit Doctors of the World-USA's Hurricane Sandy relief campaign to help provide long-term health care services to severely affected residents of the Rockaways.
"Hurricane Sandy had a devastating impact on our region, and the funds generated by the T-Shirt will provide vital health care services to the residents in the Rockaways," Henry E. Chang, Doctors of the World-USA's executive director, said.
The Tees, a spin on the classic black and red I love New York shirts, are available now for pre-order at doctorsoftheworld.org/sandyshirt for $29.95, and 100 percent of proceeds will be donated to the relief efforts.

Imagine a sleeping giant suddenly beginning to awaken. A massive giant with great power and wisdom. A giant so large that its body literally covers the entire world.
It yawns. It moves. It begins to stand up. Then the shaking begins.
The sleeping giant is, of course, the Church. It is you and me. It is the vast, massive, reality of Catholicism arising from slumber. A slumber caused by the pervasive, mind numbing, deceptive, poison fog of secular ideologies and worldly wisdom.
Being Catholic is not enough. We need to be Catholics who are awakened to the power of the Gospel. We need to be Catholics who understand the call to become saints. A call that should rouse every part of our being from the culture of death that surrounds us.
Jesus came to cast a fire on the earth. He came to wake up every man, woman and child. He came to save us all from the living hell created by sin.
Just think of all that mankind has done in the last hundred years. World wars. Genocide. Abortion. A legacy of horror that proves once and for all that we need God. We need Jesus. We need Jesus like a man lost in the desert needs water. God is life and to ignore life is to sleep the sleep of death.
Take a really good look at the culture we are in. It induces sleep. A sleep that deprives us of passion, vitality and the true meaning of existence.
It is refreshing to listen to Pope Francis. He engages the world without bowing before its empty ideology. His words speak to the heart of the matter:
"And this is a message meant for me and for you dear sister, for you dear brother. . . . Let the risen Jesus enter your life, welcome him as a friend, with trust: he is life.
"If up till now you have kept him at a distance, step forward. He will receive you with open arms. If you have been indifferent, take a risk: you won't be disappointed.
"If following him seems difficult, don't be afraid, trust him, be confident that he is close to you, he is with you and he will give you the peace you are looking for and the strength to live as he would have you do."
These are words to wake us up. Words of faith, hope, and love. No, the Church will not ultimately go to the world for wisdom. The world must come to the Church. Holiness is attractive. Virtue is attractive. And when the sleeping giant shakes off its slumber, its power is undiminished. Because this giant was not formed by any human source.
This giant, called the Church, originated with God. The truth will march on. Even when truth is forgotten, persecuted or outlawed it goes on.
Because truth is Jesus and Jesus is truth. Jesus will not be stopped. Not by anyone. Not ever. Though it may not be politically correct to say it, Jesus will reign over all. Forever.
Every knee will bow before him. His cross will be seen for what it was, and is – the all-powerful salvation of humanity. In this week's Gospel, it says a crowd was following Jesus.
"And he received them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and healed those who had need of healing."
Jesus came to speak to us of the kingdom of God – a kingdom that will outlast and overcome the empty promises of all the kingdoms of this world. He came to bring healing, peace and mercy to us all.
It was Billy Graham who said the Catholic Church is a sleeping giant and when it awakens, it will shake the world.
Yes, my friends, we will shake the world not with a false triumphalism but with humility. We will shake the world with truth governed by compassion and mercy. We will shake the world when we learn to live fully our rich heritage of prayer, Scripture, reconciliation and Communion.
Something good is happening. The giant is awakening. Listen. God is calling. It is time to shake the world.

Purpose of Lesson:
The purpose of this lesson is to help students be able to deconstruct and understand the photosynthesis equation. I feel like it is really important to not just help the students understand the concepts but to be able to use the equation. Later, when they might have forgotten exactly whether water is a reactant or a product, a look at the equation will spark their memory.
Major Strategies to Watch for:
1) Focus - I model my thinking about the equation. I teach the equation like I would teach a reading.
2) Collaborative - Students use the equation to make a flow map of the steps of photosynthesis.
3) Independent - Students solidify their learning in a writing to think.
Learning Goal: Understand how to read the photosynthesis chemical equation?
Opening Question: What do you think this chemical equation means?
C2H4O2 + NaHCO3 --> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2
I ask students this question to find out where they are in understanding the chemical code in equations. Sometimes students come in with a lot of prior knowledge. My students today were totally baffled. This means that I will need to do some concrete work on reading chemical formulas.
Students record their opening question on their learning goal sheet and are ready to start class 3 min after the bell has rung. I reward students who get started early with ROCK STAR SCIENTIST tickets.
Follow the links to learn more about the beginning of class strategies and ROCK STAR scientist tickets.
The purpose of this section is to harness the students' interest in learning more.
Students in my school have not had any experience with chemical reactions yet. I find it difficult that the first chemical reaction we are supposed to read and understand is photosynthesis. I like to give them this experience just so they can have a tangible visible model before we continue.
I start this by asking them what they think this equation means.
C2H4O2 + NaHCO3 --> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2
This is a nice formative assessment as well, because you will get to see which students know some of the element symbols. After students guess, I tell them that a chemical equation is just a model for a chemical reaction. It might look serious and complicated but it just stands for a reaction that happens. Then I get out baking soda and vinegar and mix them together. My students are so unsophisticated that this is AMAZING to them. If you teach students with more background knowledge you might want to choose a different reaction like synthesizing water.
I show the students how each symbol stands for a chemical substance and how when we put them together a change occurs and we get new chemical substances. Together, we remember the words reactant and product from the vocabulary the day before and we identify the reactants and the products in the lab. I have the students write down the reaction in their notebooks, labeling the reactants and products.
The purpose of this section is to make visible my thinking about the chemical formula for photosynthesis. When I'm finished, I want students to be able to recognize carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, feel comfortable with the symbols and the words, and be able to recognize the reactants and the products.
I put this equation on the board and ask the kids to tell me what they notice. Students write the equation in their notebooks and write down their observations and mine.
Then I walk through my thinking. I go through the definitions of reactants and products and label those. Then I look at the words and symbols and "remember things". I share with students the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. I look at the numbers and think about what these must mean with our vocabulary word atom.
Here's how I walked through my thinking for students:
The purpose of this section is to practice adding up the atoms in the formula. The reason I do this is to make the connection that we aren't creating matter...we are rearranging it. For this activity we use mini whiteboards and dry erase markers that I keep in a crate at the front of the room for easy access.
I really enjoy being a class game show host. This brightens the most serious lesson with some light-hearted fun. Sometimes, I even get out my daughter's toy microphone and really have a blast. I've named today's game, Count the Atoms.
I tell students that they are all contestants in a new game called Count the Atoms. I have them pick up a whiteboard for every pair of partners and a dry erase marker. Before we play, I remind students about the meaning of atoms and molecules.
We start with the sugar molecule because it doesn't have a coefficient. I ask the students to write down the number of carbon atoms in one molecule and hold their boards up. It is very easy to tell immediately which student know the answer and which need some help. Depending upon the answers I might stop and do a mini lesson or match students up to get some help from their peers. Once I am confident we move on to hydrogen and oxygen.
Now, I teach them about the coefficient. First, I ask them to guess how many oxygen atoms are in 6CO2. They put their numbers down and generally most of them are wrong. I use this opportunity to draw the CO2 molecule and then draw 6CO2. Once they see this they get it right away and I remind them about the distributive property in math.
Then we go back to the game show and practice counting the atoms for the rest of the equation.
For the final problem I ask them to add up all the atoms in the reactant side and all the atoms in the product side. This is a more difficult task for them. I pull up the students that had the right answers and ask the rest of the class to see what they notice. At this point we briefly talk about how there are the same number of oxygen atoms on each side, the same number of carbon atoms on each side and the same number of hydrogen atoms on each side. I tell them that this is important because we aren't creating anything with photosynthesis...we are just rearranging.
Below are some pictures of the student boards.
The purpose of this section is to give students a chance to collaboratively work together to read and understand the equation.
I start this section by teaching the students how to make a flow map.
I demonstrate how to do a flow map by making a flow map of my morning. I try to make this funny by throwing in comments like, and then my daughter had a tantrum, or then my son forgot his homework.
Once students understand how to make a flow map I tell them that their job is going to be to use the equation and make a flow map of the events in the equation. For example, the first event is, "the plant takes in carbon dioxide".
Once students understand I let them work together to make their flow maps in their notebooks. If the finish quickly I encourage the students to add color and pictures to make their maps even better. You can see an example of student work here
The purpose of this section is to let students synthesize their learning in one place.
For this section, I have the students do a Write to Think. This is a type of writing that I use often in class to let students solidify their thinking without being assessed on writing skills. You can find this on the Literacy Framework attached to this section.
My rules for Write to Think are simple. We write for four minutes, the students must write the entire time, if they run out of ideas they should just choose one of the important vocabulary words and rewrite it and its meaning to get started again. Then I set the timer and the kids get going. I walk around to ensure that students use the entire time for writing and to monitor what they are writing.
I like to make special "Writing- to- think" notebooks for my students. I simply take a colored piece of paper and staple it to 4-5 white sheets of paper. This method allows me to keep all their work in one place and allows me to check on growth and thinking.
Closing Statement: "Today we looked at how to read the equation for photosynthesis. Tomorrow, we are going to try to understand the main idea of photosynthesis."
Closing Question: "How do you think photosynthesis relates to you life?"
Closure depends greatly on timing and is not as easy to plan in advance as opening. You can find more information about how I manage closure here.

Yoga and the Y chromosome: A bromance
Special to the Daily
The Y chromosome.
It produces incredible beards, provides perpetual support for the power tools industry, and fuels high-octane sports leagues such as NASCAR and MMA. That bit of genetic material is the reason that I will not consult a road map nor accept directions to a destination. My "Y" keeps me detached from the emotion of romantic tales such as "The Notebook," as well as from the rationale behind putting the toilet seat down after every use.
It would seem that the root of all things man, the Y chromosome, would be at odds with the modern institution of yoga. After all, yogis prefer meditation to explosions, soymilk to beer and a balanced approach to fitness over the oft-injured, one-dimensional power-lifting machismo that is the male approach. And yet, after a 60-minute class at the Breckenridge Recreation Center recently, I found myself content and comfortably calm. That's right – I went to yoga as a man and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Don't get me wrong, I don't speak Sanskrit and don't really care to start. And spandex, while an interesting style when wrapping the female form, won't replace the flannel shirts in my closet. However, investing an hour of time in an activity that will increase my body's longevity and relax my cluttered mind is something I – and all men – can stand behind.
Breckenridge offers several options for the beginner yogi. While I chose to attend one of the Breckenridge Recreation Center's eight weekly classes, both Meta Yoga Studios and Summit Hot Yoga have studios in Breck that offer daily classes.
Walking into a yoga class for the first time proved a unique experience. All around the softly lit wooden-floor studio sat fit women on thin, blandly colored roll-out mats. The understood dress code involved subtle variations of brightly colored tank tops and form-fitting black capri pants. Hidden speakers filled the quiet space with soothing sounds of Eastern instrumentals. There was a different and inviting calm about the atmosphere, an encouraging benevolence. Our instructor for the class was Monica Wilson, a slender and athletic woman with a perpetual smile and a pension for pushing the pausing participant.
Before I had time to realize the relevance of clean socks in a non-shoe activity, Wilson dimmed the lights and encouraged the 14 female and two male participants to settle into the moment, releasing any distracting thoughts and preparing our stressed bodies for the forthcoming activity. As the breathing of my neighbors intensified to a pseudo-Lamaze level, Wilson introduced the session's first sequence of movements, previously only seen in grade school games of Twister. She guided the class through a series of bends, squats and positions intentionally selected and seamlessly blended to promote flexibility, balance and coordination within our rapidly firing muscles.
And so the class went for an hour: Shoulders, abdominals, hips and legs stressed and stretched passed their previously understood limits. As we cooled down from the session's more intense periods, I realized that somewhere between the positions of "downward dog" and "warrior 3" I had let go of my first-timer insecurities and become part of the group.
As the Eastern music faded from the speakers and the still smiling instructor thanked us for our participation, I rose from my mat. The sweat saturating my shirt, and the fatigue slowing my body reminded me that yoga is more than an exercise in deep breathing and meditation. Indeed, it is a whole body encouragement that anyone – man or woman – can stand behind. Now if I could only find a beer to satiate my incredible yoga-generated thirst.

The Ides of March are smiling on Britney Spears.
Billboard.com reported that the singer's upcoming untitled album will drop on Mar. 15, based on a leaked sales sheet. Spears' label, Jive Records, confirmed that the information on the sales sheet is correct to MTV News.
The sales sheet described the success of Spears' new single "Hold It Against Me," which charted on Billboard at #1: "First week sales of well over 400k show the huge demand for her music, and all things Britney. In fact," Hold It Against Me" enjoyed the biggest first week track sales for a female artist EVER, eclipsing the previous record holder Taylor Swift.
U.S. & World
The new album, according to the sales sheet, will also feature the production work of Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Rodney Jerkins and others.
The new album will be the follow-up to 2008's Circus. "As is always the way with a new Britney release," said the sales sheet, "look for a major TV event to launch the album, and of course the usual non=stop press coverage on all things Britney…make no mistake that fans are ready and waiting for more Britney! She never disappoints and NOBODY comes close"
Spears's manager, Adam Leber, recently went on Twitter to reveal that the singer did a photoshoot in anticipation of the new album. He wrote: "did a photoshoot for her album package yesterday. Photos are nothing less than spectacular. We'll share some soon...."

The blessings of freedom and justice, opportunity and prosperity, so dear to all Americans, were not gained without sacrifice, nor preserved without purpose.
These blessings are at the heart of our American celebration of Thanksgiving, a holiday that acknowledges both our colonial roots and the beneficence of the Almighty. Vital in that history was the sharing of the harvest by American Indians, enabling the preservation of our early settlers during those first winters in the New World. Sharing one's blessings and giving thanks for the bounties of the harvest, long a part of Native American culture, became part of our American Thanksgiving celebration, as well. This cherished tradition endured and flourished as our Nation grew and prospered.
Of this rich, new land, Thomas Jefferson once proclaimed to fellow Virginian, James Monroe, "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" [Letter, June 17, 1785]
The principles and values that define us as Americans found their origins in Jefferson's time and have been sustained since by the vigilance and valor of generation after generation of men and women who, in both peace and war, have safeguarded our way of life. At the Department of Veterans Affairs, caring for those who, in President Abraham Lincoln's words, "have borne the battle" remains our noble mission.
President Lincoln further established the last Thursday of November as a national "day of Thanksgiving" for the benevolence and bounty that has been given to the American people. On this uniquely American holiday, let us remember our good fortune at living in a land of plenty—safe, secure, and free from tyranny and oppression.
Another courageous generation of young Americans serves today as a force for good in some of the most remote and unforgiving places in the world. Many will observe Thanksgiving and the upcoming Holiday Season without the warmth and companionship of families and friends. Their missions are difficult and dangerous, and they perform them without hesitation. In this season of Thanksgiving, let us pray for their well-being and safe return. As we gather at our own tables on November 28th, let us not only give thanks for the blessings in our own lives, but give thanks for the men and women who now serve, and for those who have served on Thanksgivings past, ensuring for us and future generations of Americans the "precious blessing" of liberty.
"Happy Thanksgiving" to all our Veterans and their families, to the Survivors of the Fallen, and to my VA colleagues across our Department, who serve them so faithfully. May God continue to bless this great and wonderful country of ours.
-- Eric K. Shinseki

Bradley Cooper isn't the only "A-Team" star not willing to discuss the particulars of his romantic life. While Bradley recently told Details magazine's July issue he "just can't" talk about rumored paramour Renee Zellweger, Jessica Biel has been equally mum on the subject of her longtime on-again/off-again beau, Justin Timberlake.
In Glamour's July issue, which features the actress on the cover, when asked if she is in love, Jessica said, "I want to keep that answer to myself."

U.S. & World
She did speak more generally about love with the magazine, admitting her passion for romance when she was asked about how she's like her "A-Team" character, Charisa Sosa.
"She's a hard-core adrenaline junkie. I'm also an adrenaline junkie. I'm a romantic adrenaline junkie," the actress told the mag.

Jessica was plenty open though about her recent climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.
"I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me," she told the mag of what she learned on the trek, which she accomplished late last year. "When you get out into the wilderness and strip [away] all of the stuff in your everyday life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it is. Needing things starts to feel like, 'Oh, I kind of have everything, don't I?' It's pretty great."
While the actress has conquered the mountain, she admitted she hasn't yet managed to conquer fashion.

"I'm not someone who has this amazing instinct about fashion," she revealed. "Sometimes I cannot be bothered… I just throw on whatever is comfortable. I literally spent most of my teenage years in Umbro shorts and No Fear T-shirts."
Speaking of no fear, Jessica said she has plenty of adventurous things she'd like to do before she dies.

"I want to scuba dive a sunken ship. I would like to sail around some part of the world and live on a boat. I have a love of Egyptology," she said. "I would like to go there and see the pyramids. [As a kid I wanted] to be Indiana Jones and dig for bones and find mummies."

FRANKLIN (AP) -Authorities say a lengthy standoff at a northwestern New Jersey home ended when an armed man fatally shot himself after wounding his mother and taking his father hostage.
Sussex County prosecutors say the standoff started around 8:15 p.m. Saturday, when police responded to a 911 call from a Franklin home. When officers arrived, the mother ran outside before being shot by her 53-year-old son.
Negotiators were eventually able to convince the man to release his father, who was unharmed. But when authorities finally entered the home early Sunday, they found the gunman dead inside.
It was not clear what sparked the standoff, and authorities would not release the name of the gunman or his parents. They said the wounded woman remained hospitalized Sunday afternoon but is expected to survive.

When educators choose to work closely with businesses, they gain valuable resources and insights needed to strengthen schools and achieve meaningful outcomes. In 2013, Harvard Business School, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and BCG joined forces to research the role of the private sector in improving the United States' education system.
What did they learn? Take a look at three reports that highlighted the team's key findings, which were discussed at the Business and Education Leaders Together (BELT) Conference in October 2014.

Are you Spiritual or Psychotic?
Theresa, thank you for sharing this. I worked with a client who was schizophrenic and had an IQ around 60. We kept taking him to the psychiatrist, who asked the client if he saw things that other people didn't. The client would then start pointing at the wall, the bookshelf, out the window, etc. The psychiatrist inevitably concluded that the client was still psychotic, and increased his meds to the max. When I talked with this client in a more casual and relaxed environment, he pointed out to me some of the things that he saw. A stick in the grass that looked like a snake. A new leaf growing on a plant (the leaf wasn't there yesterday). Lines on the wall that made up an interesting design. It was all real to him and I could see it if I took the time to look and listen with him instead of trying to get him to stop "acting crazy.â€
What if those of us who are religious and who believe that God is real and does care enough to communicate to us are detecting something that not everybody sees or feels, which is real. Maybe we don't understand it completely or know how to explain it in terms that others understand. Maybe God is more advanced than we are, and catching a glimpse of Him is like my client noticing the wonders of nature and his environment.
The worst thing about spiritual abuse is that it invalidates the victim's ability to discern and trust their own experience. That is essentially what all abuse does. It is spiritual abuse when you experience something and others discount your experience and tell you that you are just crazy. It is also spiritual abuse when someone imposes their ideas and philosophy on you in a forceful and harsh and destructive way. The abuser might be scientific or religious extremist, or a skeptic, or a fanatic – you name it. The result is a person who has been punished for seeing or not seeing something that the abuser disagreed with or was uncomfortable with. The victim loses the ability to have faith and trust in their own spirituality, be comfortable with religion and spiritual truths, etc. Or in a few cases these victims might abuse others whether in the same way or the opposite of what was told/done to them.
Healing comes when you can open yourself to your own experiences and see and accept them for what they are, and know that they are real to you.

The evidence and testimony stage of the trial lasted two weeks. The jury had been in deliberations for six hours already as of press time late Tuesday afternoon.
Anita Vestal, 36, admits to masterminding the jailbreak of Jeffrey Miles four years ago, which couldn't have been the reason for the jury's delay.
The jury apparently was torn over a suite of "accessory after the fact" charges pinned on Vestal for the crimes that Miles committed.
Miles, from Atlanta, was the ringleader of a violent home invasion on a rural back road in Swain County that ended in two execution-style murders, a third attempted murder and a ransacked home back in 2008.
The question for jurors: Did Vestal know Miles was guilty at the time she helped him escape? If so, that would make her an accessory.
"She broke everyone's trust and formed a relationship with this nightmare," prosecutor Ashley Welch said. "She knew good and well what Jeffrey Miles had done. But all she cared about was being together forever with him and she did everything she could to make sure that dream of hers was going to happen."
Miles was one of six people charged in the murders. He later pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.
But at the time Vestal helped him escape, he hadn't gone to trial and Vestal probably thought he was innocent, according to her attorney, Chris Siewers.
"Does it make any sense that he would tell the person he was trying to sweet talk to let him out of jail that he did those murders? Do you really think he would confess to a jailer at the Swain jail, 'Oh yeah I did these murders. I went in there, I took a gun in there with six other people, I did everything.' It doesn't make any sense," Siewers said.
Prosecutor Jim Moore implored the jury to believe that Vestal must have known, however.
"Reason and common sense tells you she knew Mr. Miles was guilty of all those horrible crimes and she was never going to be able to see him again and he was going to prison for the rest of his life and the only thing she could do was to break him out," Moore said.
When Vestal fled to California with Miles, she left behind a large extended family in both Bryson City and Cherokee, including a husband and four children under the age of 10.
She and Miles were caught four weeks later, holed up in a California motel room.
"I don't know. I just went crazy," Vestal said in a phone call to her dad that she placed from jail in California after being caught.
See next week's issue of The Smoky Mountain News to read about the verdict, and an article exploring how and why Vestal fell for Miles.

A week ago, I traveled to Virginia on what I hope becomes an annual tradition - a deer hunting trip in the mountains and farm land of Virginia. I find that many people think me to be nuts! I understand that my personality would render such a conclusion but they seem to feel that the idea of killing a deer is barbaric - is crass beyond belief. After all, I have no need to take the life of such cute animals. I can go to the super market and buy the meat I need to feed my family.

Boston: A Bowl of Matzoh Ball Soup—and a Side of Guilt—from the New England Soup Factory
A weekly profile on a favorite New England dish.
Growing up with a chronic sense of guilt in mind is just part of a Jewish kid's emotional framework, but my particular bout of self-reproach revolves around a bowl of soup—specifically, the Chicken Matzoh Ball Soup at New England Soup Factory.
It's not about the calories in the dish or its price ($6.25 for a bowl), neither of which is particularly high. It's about what most Jewish guilt is about: family. Most of the stories I've ever read about great Jewish food are told from the perspective of a person recalling his or her grandmother's version of a dish, because according to de facto Jewish law, nobody makes better kugel, schnecken, or matzoh ball soup than grandma.
I wish I could wax nostalgic about my grandmother's matzoh ball soup—and to be honest, it was always pretty good. (The best versions were when she made her own turkey stock.) But when I moved to Boston and went looking for a decent bowl of the stuff, I stumbled upon the best version I'd ever had at, of all places, the New England Soup Factory.
I say that with skepticism partly because I was so surprised that such a good rendition was being made just steps away from my office in Brookline Village, and also because, as Kenji once said to me, the word "factory" doesn't inspire much confidence in the quality of the product. More to the point: What kind of granddaughter prefers soup made in a "factory" to the stuff her grandmother lovingly fussed over at home?
The only excuse I can offer: New England Soup Factory chef/owner Marjorie Druker's matzoh ball soup—more accurately, her "triple strength" Chicken Vegetable Soup with the optional matzoh ball added in—is her Grandma Florrie's recipe. At least someone's grandmother is getting credit here.
The broth is visibly rich—a deep shade of gold—and tastes nothing like the bouillon cube-enhanced versions in most delicatessens. Rather, it epitomizes what a good chicken stock should taste like: like it's been gurgling away on the stove for hours, eking out every last ounce of flavor from the chicken. There are cubes of white meat and tender slices of oversized carrots. There are thin egg noodles added à la minute, if you want them. And most importantly, there is the biggest, best-tasting matzoh ball this side of the Lower East Side.
According to the recipe (published in the New England Soup Factory Cookbook—see page 58), the trick to Grandma Florrie's matzoh balls is twofold: whipped egg whites and club soda for lightness, egg yolks and schmaltz for rich flavor.
Neither of these components strikes me as especially unusual; most good recipes call for adding chicken fat, and quite a few employ either carbonated water or whipped egg whites to keep the dumplings from turning dense. Maybe the real key is using both. Whatever the secret, Druker's matzoh balls are exceptional—both the grapefruit-sized specimens she serves at the restaurant and the homemade version, which, if it's any consolation to my grandmother, I now make religiously several times a year.

When it comes to console football games, Madden is usually at the forefront of most peoples thoughts, but Electronic Arts is determined to bring NCAA football into the light like we havent yet seen. Tiburon put a lot of work into NCAA 11 and it really paid off. The in-game visuals look great. The lighting, character models, and model interaction all look better than they have in previous years.
The graphics are not the only thing that has improved in this years title. Once you start up the game, you will start to notice that the players actually behave like real players. The A.I. is improved, and it really adds to the experience of the game. After years of getting stuck behind my own teammates as they fail spectacularly to block for me, only to be hit from behind, it felt amazing to blast through the hole created by my blockers for a solid gain.
Later, I threw the ball to my receiver at the edge of the field, and instead of running out of bounds to make the catch, he planted his feet inbounds and reached up for the grab. There were fewer instances of launching a pass to my receiver and having it hit him square in the back because he didnt turn around to catch it and much more of players doing their best to make the grab if the ball comes within reach. This type of awareness makes the gameplay feel smooth and natural. Its small things like this that make NCAA 11 so much fun to play.
As I mentioned earlier, the character models as well as their interactions with each other look good. This is most apparent when you tackle the ball carrier. In older titles, I would chase the ball carrier, dive, and barely catch him, but instead of tripping up his ankles I magically climbed up his legs and wrapped around his waist. It was always funny to see, but far from realistic. Fortunately, these funky, unnatural tackles are no more.
I didnt run into any major bugs while I was playing. The only problem I encountered was a strange camera bug on a PAT, where the camera angle was way off to the side. It was strange, but only happened one time and didnt really make the point difficult to make.
The game the same as previous titles, but in a game like this, the sound isnt a major feature that players are looking for. However, while the general game sound isnt noteworthy, the commentators were weak. They were rarely up to speed on the plays, and even made false statements on occasion. For instance, in one of the games I was playing my receiver made a diving grab, but according to the commentators he made the grab and then was tripped up by defenders.

CORAOPOLIS, Pa. (AP) Dynami Sparks set a career high with 29 points as Bryant matched its Northeast Conference win total from a year ago with an 84-77 win over Robert Morris Thursday night in each team's conference opener.
The Bulldogs went 1-17 in the NEC last year and 2-28 overall but are now 8-4 overall after winning their first conference game. The win was Bryant's first over Robert Morris
Sparks drained a career-high seven 3-pointers in 12 attempts, and Frankie Dobbs had a career-best 26 points on 5-of-8 3-point shooting as Bryant hit 13 of 25 from deep. Alex Francis added 18 points and nine rebounds for Bryant.
Velton Jones led Robert Morris (8-6) with 24 points and six assists. Coron Williams, who entered shooting 64 percent (16 of 25) from 3-point range in his last four games, made just 1 of 3 from deep for his only three points of the game.

Leiden University
The University
Leiden University (1575) was the first university in the Netherlands where freedom of belief and religion was practised, as reflected by the university's motto, Praesidium Libertatis, Bastion of Liberty. It was in this atmosphere of freedom of speech that philosophers like Spinoza and Descartes were able to develop their ideas. Several great scholars and scientists have brought fame to Leiden University over the years. Recently, the Spinoza Award, the most prestigious Dutch academic award, has been presented to professors from Leiden 15 out of 59 times.
The three guiding principles of the University are:
- an international orientation
- the research-intensive character of the University
- maintaining the quality of education and research
The University intends to make major contributions to society in the areas of prosperity, well-being and culture. Talent is indispensable to the realization of that ambition. To this end, the University is committed to both recruiting and developing talent, involving secondary school pupils, university students, and young researchers and academics.
Watch the youtube movie on the university's 444th celebration.
Location: Leiden, the Netherlands
Life in Leiden is greatly influenced by the relatively large number of students, as most of them both live and study in the historic town of Leiden. It is very easy to run into someone you know when you go shopping or when you go out at night. Since Leiden is a small town, all the university buildings are within walking or cycling distance. Students tend to feel at home quickly, because of the safe environment and the individual approach.
Leiden is located just twelve kilometers east from the North Sea coast, in between the cities of Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The Hague can be reached by train in 12 minutes, Schiphol Airport in 20 and Amsterdam in 30 minutes.
Brianna Valois (alumna, Spring 2014 at Leiden University) has summarised her 7 months experience in this movie:
Academic Highlights
Leiden University offers outstanding international students an intellectually exciting learning environment with high academic standards. The focus is on debate and critical thinking, rather than on knowledge transfer, whereby the students' ability to think independently is greatly stimulated.
As a research University, Leiden University focuses on fundamental research and research-based education. Fundamental research is typically curiosity-driven, and researchers develop their curiosity through their observations. It is usually unpredictable as to its course and outcome and often leads to new insights into the essence of nature, the human mind, and the complex interactions between their elements. This gives rise to innovations, to new developments and solutions to emerging problems.
Specific Research Opportunities
Theoretical physicist Prof. Carlo Beenakker has been awarded the Akzo Nobel Science Award (October 2006) for his pioneering work in the field of nanoscience, the world where atoms and molecules can no longer be distinguished. His research focuses on the fundamental physical problems which occur when an object of macroscopic proportions is miniaturised to nanometer scale.
Leiden academics and students who need to consult books from the eighteenth century on such diverse subjects as the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, political satires, medical works, or the first European grammar of Chinese, now have exclusive access through Leiden University Library to a large digital corpus: Eighteenth Century Collections Online or ECCO. ECCO is a digital collection comprising over 150,000 books published in the Britain between 1701 and 1800.
Dutch Language and Culture
The objective of this course is to learn the language up to an elementary level, sufficient to get by in everyday situations, like meeting people, ordering drinks, shopping, and travelling on public transport. The culture course consists of ten one-hour lectures about several aspects of Dutch culture, e.g. the polder landscape, the organization ('pillarisation') of Dutch society, and the growth of a multicultural society, as well as the history of Leiden and typical Dutch celebrations.

TORONTO — Jose Bautista did not have to drop out of school to pursue a career in baseball, and he wants to make sure some amateur athletes are afforded that same luxury.
Bautista grew up with a middle-class family in the Dominican Republic. His mother was an accountant, his father ran poultry farms and, regardless of Bautista's ambitions to play professional sports, it was never allowed to take away from his education.
The biggest break Bautista received early in his career was when he received support from the Latin Athletes Education Fund, which helped baseball players from Spanish-speaking countries attend school in the United States. Bautista is now trying to repay that favor with the Bautista Family Education Fund.
"I think there has been a great impact," Bautista said of his foundation. "Obviously, when you can help these kids into not giving up their dream to continue to play sports while getting their education, I think it's a great opportunity. Some of them can find their way and figure out what they want to do in life without having to sacrifice either or.
"There are 37 right now in school — seven graduates already — the GPA cumulative is 3.4, which is unheard of. We raised our expectations a little bit, they seem to respond. We not only give them financial assistance, but we try to guide them and be the liaison between the kids and the school just to make sure they have everything they need to be successful."
Far too often in the Dominican Republic, young teenagers are forced to choose between attending school or enrolling in a local baseball academy with the hopes of pursuing their dreams. Bautista wants people to know young athletes can find a way to focus on both school and a future in athletics.
That's one of the main reasons that Bautista created his foundation. It was launched in 2011 and has financed 37 athletes through post-secondary school on scholarships throughout the United States and Canada. Bautista also made sure his foundation impacted not only Dominicans, but also those from the Caribbean, South America and North America.
All applicants for a BFEF scholarship must be enrolled or accepted into a post-secondary program, have a GPA of 2.8 of higher and are required to pass a test of English as a foreign language. The scholarships cover the cost of everything from education to meal plans, books and housing. It's also not limited to baseball players and covers athletes from other sports as well.
"I'm a big believer and proponent that education should not be sacrificed just for the chance to play any particular sport," Bautista said. "I know I've done it and I know all of the kids can do it too."
Bautista's biggest fundraiser of the year took place on Thursday when he held his annual celebrity golf tournament at Eagles Nest Golf Club in Toronto. Josh Donaldson, Kevin Pillar, Justin Smoak, Devon Travis, Russell Martin, Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez were among the Blue Jays players who attended the event. Celebrities included NHL player P.K. Subban, former CFL quarterback Damon Allen and NHL alumni Mike Krushelnyski.
BFEF recipient Bradley Smith also attended the event. He's currently a student at the University of British Columbia through the aid of a BFEF scholarship.
"As many applicants we keep having, that we can support, we're going to welcome them and continue to help them," Bautista said. "With my personal contributions and the ability to create more events to raise more funds, I think the possibilities are, not endless, but certainly not at capacity right now.
"We can keep growing as long as we have kids to help. I don't want to just raise funds and have the money sitting there and not be able to help anybody. But we have some kids on deck for next year, so I have to get creative with some of the events and raise more funds."

My fellow family history bloggers have been busy this week. There are so many great genealogy blogs out there (over 2,000, I'm told!). I wish I had time to read them all. Meanwhile, here are some of the blog posts that caught my eye, and my imagination, this week. Enjoy!
Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings reminds us that, in honor of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, Ancestry.com is making available -- for FREE -- their Civil War collection of records. He's also been busy sharing his own Civil War treasures, which are so interesting.
Lynn at the Armchair Genealogist has tipped us off that Family Tree Magazine is looking for some family recipes and their stories. I'm thinking that my Aunt Rae's Crabby Potato Salad is worthy of submission.
I'm trying to figure out a way to go on the Welsh Heritage Tour that Roots Traveler writes about. I have cousins in Cardiff, and I'm DYING to meet them!
My cousin, Jennifer, over at Climbing My Family Tree writes about why she loves having Swedish roots. Got me thinking about why I love my Danish/English/Welsh/German roots. =)
The Hibbit Family History Blog offers some Victorian-era tips for housecleaning. My favorite: "Servants are no quicker than we are, and we should know for ourselves exactly how long it takes to do every household task, so that we need not allow laziness, or expect too much from those we employ." Oh, my...Please be sure to check out these great blogs and tell the writers how much you enjoy their stories!
I also loved the picture of Becky's ADORABLE Grandmom doing a little spring cleaning on Barking up our Family Tree.

Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli, who was familiar with the Super Swede from their days together with the Senators, heavily pursued the veteran winger and chose to sign Jarome Iginla when Alfredsson selected the Wings. Axelsson tried to push his old buddy Alfredsson towards Boston, the club couldn't compete with the kind of love he was getting from the host of Swedish players in Detroit.
While former Wings' great Nicklas Lidstrom had a discussion with Alfredsson, it was captain Henrik Zetterberg who pushed him over the top to choose the Wings and convinced him it would be right for his family.
There will be no rings this spring in Detroit.
This wasn't the finish Daniel Alfredsson would have scripted.
This next move is a big one for Alfredsson.
If he decides to retire then he accepts the fact that he's willing to hang up his skates without getting that elusive ring and comfortable with the fact closest he ever came was a trip to the Cup final with the Senators in 2007.
"It pretty much came down to a selfish decision in terms of I have not won a Stanley Cup," said Alfredsson on July 5, 2013.
After leaving Ottawa for chance at winning the Cup
Senators were officially eliminated from the picture last summer, the choice came down to either Detroit or Boston.
The Wings certainly went further than the Senators did this season. Detroit made the playoffs while Ottawa took a major step backwards after going two rounds last spring. In the end, Alfredsson's decision will be questioned.
Not only did the Wings fall short of Alfredsson's expectations when he signed there, they were also booted out of the playoffs by the other team that was chasing him when he made that fateful decision to leave Ottawa.
After 17 years with the Senators, the 41 year old Alfredsson was gone in a flash. Unable to get a deal, he headed for greener pastures with the Detroit Red Wings because he wanted to win a title before retirement.
The final buzzer sounded Saturday on the Wings' season and possibly Alfredsson's career when they were eliminated in Round 1 of the playoffs with 4 2 loss to the Boston Bruins in Game 5 at the TD Garden.
Generally speaking, Alfredsson goes through the same cycle every summer by taking some time off and then after some rest decides if he has what it takes to do the off season training to make his return.

Should he Michael Kors Belt Brown return next season then he'll have to decide if the Wings are indeed as close to a Cup as he maintained they were when he accepted a one year deal with the club last summer. Detroit didn't look like it this Hermes Belt New
By all accounts, Alfredsson's season with the Wings was successful. He was a solid contributer with 18 31 49 points in 68 games, but there were concerns when he missed Game 3 of the Boston series with a back issue.
It turns out the Wings played five more games than the Senators this season. Yes, Detroit extended its run to the playoffs to 23 straight seasons, but they were up against a team that appears headed for a long spring.
"The fire still has to burn," he told me more than once.
The thinking on Twitter after the Wings were sent packing is the Senators should make a pitch for Alfredsson and try to bring him back next season. He told reporters in Boston if he does return he is leaning towards the Wings.
It has been 295 days since the Senators captain put his legacy with the organization at risk when he chose Motown over Bytown but the memories of that day were stirred up Saturday after what happened in Beantown.
The reaction in Ottawa to the Wings being eliminated wasn't surprising: Many Senators fans were pleased to see Detroit get knocked out because there's still bitterness over Alfredsson's decision to leave.
"I feel with Ottawa, they're getting closer and closer and definitely going in the right direction and Armani Belts Price
The question everybody was left as Alfredsson shook hands with the Bruins was: What's next? He hasn't ruled out playing next season but wants time to make up his mind before informing the Wings if he'll play.

The human cost of the current unrest in Israel, and in particular Gaza, is increasing as the violence escalates.
Hospitals in the territory are dealing with a large number of people injured from five consecutive days of bombardment.
Dozens have already lost their lives, however there have been some miraculous rescues.
An 18-year-old girl was dug out of the rubble of one destroyed building. Her mother, however, was killed in the attack.
The Israeli military have carried out a large number of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, targeting rocket-launching sites, a major training base and two media centres.

SUDS AND A SLEEPOVER: It isn't often one sees the concept of "beer" enter into a swanky hotel package; after all, the provenance of sudsy beverages tends to be a sporty Saturday afternoon at some neighborhood tavern. But posh stay-over spots can have its hops and enjoy them, too, as the San Diego Omni is doing with its Brew with a View package.
THE FINER P(O)INTS: Nearly a dozen local breweries scored high at the 2010 World Beer Cup, so the Omni's deal is in honor of that, and, of course, those guests who like a good ale. The package includes a room for two, a chat with the hotel concierge about San Diego micro-breweries (plus a brewery roster), and a lunch of burgers and beers at McCormick & Schmick. It isn't often a concierge gets to talk beer, we'll guess, although we'll also guess it is probably a delightful topic to discuss. So, more concierges talking beer with more guests, we say.
PRICE: $249 is the starting point; extras, fine print, and details.

There have been many stories written about Jessica Smith; it is that of a child born without a left arm, a teenager who went on to represent Australia for swimming in the 2004 Paralympic Games, and a young adult who broke free from an eating disorder.
But perhaps the most important story there is to tell when it comes to Jessica, is that of the inspiring woman she is today; an internationally recognised advocate for positive body image, a loving wife and an author & storyteller.
With all these accolades aside, Jessica's most proudest life moment is recently becoming a mother for the first time. This new path to motherhood inspired Jessica to create a series of books that celebrates children's differences, and encourages self confidence, no matter their physical appearance.
It was the love of netball that motivated West Coast Fever player Verity Simmons through the hard times as her passion and determination drove her to pursue a life as a netballer.
The 25-year old has overcome her fair share of adversity including travel, shoulder surgery and being diagnosed with Type One Diabetes.
Her fearless mentality to perform at the highest level whilst juggling a serious health condition is inspiring.

Based on the results of a survey of 359 SEC-registered business corporations administered by The Conference Board in collaboration with NASDAQ, companies take different approaches to assigning responsibility for sustainability oversight. Forty percent or more of manufacturing and nonfinancial companies contemplate that the board of directors should assume and perform such responsibilities. An analysis by company size shows an inverse, albeit not strict, correlation between the full board performing sustainability oversight and the size of the company in terms of annual revenue. As for sustainability items placed on the board agenda, issues related to environmental impact are the most common.

Back in January, when he was still just a golfer with no green jacket in his closet, Bubba Watson attended a huge car show and auction in Scottsdale, Arizona – or Snottsdale as my dad calls it – and he ended up leaving with his wallet $110,000 lighter. Watson purchased the original Dukes of Hazzard General Lee car that was used in the show's pilot episode. The famous Dodge Charger was banged up and discarded, but eventually a collector found it and completely restored it, leading to Watson's purchase.
As Watson was fending off Louis Oosthuizen in a sudden death playoff before winning his first ever PGA major at the Masters, my friend and I were joking that he should totally do donuts on the green at 18 if he won. Of course he wouldn't, but a boy can dream. That's why Watson's Tweet yesterday with the above image of him jumping the General Lee over the lawn outside the clubhouse at Augusta was good enough.
Alas, Watson only Tweeted the image because he's been taking criticism for owning and driving a car that has a confederate flag on the top. I guess that comes with the territory when you spend 6 figures on something that people have as much contempt for as a swastika, so he should probably get used to defending his ride.
