OpenTable diners named six Maryland restaurants for their top-notch American fare, and though Bethesda is well-known for its dining scene, nary a 20814, 20816 or 20817 eatery made the list.
OpenTable sifted through more than five million reviews of more than 15,000 restaurants across the country to determine the winners of the 2012 Diner's Choice awards, the Baltimore Business Journal reports.
In the American fare category, Easton's Bartlett Pear Inn, Hagerstown's LJ's & The Kat Lounge, Frederick's VOLT and Baltimore's Charleston, Woodberry Kitchen and The Prime Rib all made the top 100.
In Washington, DC, Corduroy and 1789 Restaurant made the cut.
Bethesda restaurants also didn't place in other Diner's Choice categories, including most romantic, best service and best brunch -- though Mrs. K's Toll House in neighboring Silver Spring was noted in the latter category.
How do you think Bethesda fares when it comes to American fare? Should a Bethesda restaurant have made the list? If so, which one? Which Bethesda restaurants would you name for best service, most romantic and best brunch? Tell us in the comments.

Summer 2012 Vocation Retreat
A beautiful summer weekend welcomed young men from different parts of the country to participate in our monastic vocation retreat. During the retreat, our guests prayed, eat and shared stories with us and we are very delighted to have them here with us. Check out their reatreat photo gallery.
"Thank you for all of your kind hospitality and generosity during my recent retreat and stay at your guesthouse. I entered with some experience of European Abbeys and was happy to find many of the traditions still prevalent. In addition to a beautiful setting, clean rooms and great food, the real bedrock of a Benedictine community is their praying and singing of the Divine Office. This for me was one of the highlights of my visit and during my last vesper service, the very thought of pulling away from this community of men, even after just a few days, caused me to have to stop myself and regroup. Though a lifetime can only truly reveal the whole person, each of my brief encounters with the brothers was charged with a deep rooted and sincere faith that truly surprised me. I came expecting one thing and left with a completely different idea of what it is to be an American Benedictine. Though the rigidity of Europe is not as prevalent, the sincere love and search for God among each and everyone one of these men is. Mount Angel is truly a special place and I cannot wait to return. "
Paul Hearn, Seattle, WA

"As always, a great and holy time. I look forward to my next visit."
Cory Cook, 23, Camas, WA
My experience in the community was wonderful.Ā I enjoyed the liturgy and chanting.Ā... the way they live their life is busy, but they always make time for prayer.Ā I learned about their individual talents, and what they do in their spare time.Ā It is not something you can picture until you live with them for a week.Ā They really see each other as brothers, there is a bond that joins them together and they welcome you with open hands.Ā Being around them you get to see that they are men who enjoy the way the live and have no regrets whatsoever about the choice they have made about giving their will to God.ĀI felt like I had arrived home to my long lost family.Ā You can feel and see Christ give you a smile when they give you a smile.
Emmanuel Alva Ramirez, CA
Mount Angel is definitely the place for someone who is truly seeking God and is seriously considering such a special vocation.Ā The Benedictine rhythm of prayer and work set in a picturesque and serene, almost mystical hilltop is an experience worth trying and spiritually fulfilling.Ā My close encounter with the monks inside the monastery gave me a better perspective of a vocation that is undeniably centered in Christ, love, and brotherhood.

The Norman Transcript
STILLWATER — Though he didn't finish quite as strong as he began Tuesday, it was still a fine rebound on the final day of the Class 6A boys state golf tournament for Norman High's Turner Howe.
After beginning with rounds of 84 and 81 on Monday, Howe came back with a final-round 77. Not that he even needed a rebound to enjoy his time at the state tournament.
"You can't really walk away feeling bad after playing Karsten (Creek)," Howe said. "It's such a beautiful course."
The lone Tiger to earn his way into the state tourney, Howe played the back nine first Tuesday and was even par after nine holes. The front nine — Howe's back — proved more difficult.
Howe was backed by NHS coach Bruce Renfroe and the rest of his Tiger varsity teammates. All the day was missing were a few more putts falling.
"I'm a lot more consistent with my ball-striking," Howe said. "It's just unfortunate I wasn't able to make the putts I needed to make the last couple of days. I hit the ball well enough to shoot a lot lower, but my short game wasn't what it needed to be."
Howe isn't nearly done.
Only a sophomore, he could well have two more cracks at the state tournament.

The Santa Cruz branch of California Highway Patrol is down one vehicle this week after an early Sunday collision with a deer.
According to KSBW, at 1:45 a.m., an officer was driving a CHP car north on Highway 1 in Aptos and had to swerve to avoid a deer, and drove into the median guard rail.
While "the cruiser spun out of control," KSBW reported that no other vehicles were involved and the driver was not injured. According to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, an officer in the passenger seat was taken to Dominican Hospital and treated for minor injuries.
As for North American deer. According to biologist Rob Found, during this season, the animals are more prone to run out into the road in search of a female with mating on the mind.
"Males are so focused on mating, they're not thinking straight," he said. "They're looking for mates and for other males to fight."

The Port Arthur News
I can vividly recall devouring the "John Carter of Mars" books as a pre-teen. I loved the pulpy nature of these science fiction adventures, although I will admit that the pictures of bug-eyed monsters and bikini-clad maidens on the book covers were what probably first caught my attention. I've often wondered why Hollywood never turned these classic books into a series of big-budget cinematic adventures.
Walt Disney has finally done just that, and it's with more than a little nostalgia that I'm happy to announce that the new film captures much of what made the books so special to me in my youth. This is a larger-than-life epic with amazing special effects, some PG-13 flavored action, a little romance and lots of cool Martian monsters. The ten-year-old boy in me was thrilled by the movie. Come to think of it, the moms and dads and scores of kids in the audience also seemed to be having a grand time watching "John Carter."
For those of you who aren't familiar with the books, Taylor Kitsch plays John Carter, the Civil War veteran who is magically transported (astral-projected?) to Mars just as the planet is about to tear itself apart in a devastating war. Carter finds that he has superhuman strength thanks to the lesser gravity and atmosphere of Barsoom—the name the locals use for Mars. This comes in handy when Carter rescues the humanoid princess, Dejah Thoris (Lynne Collins) and finds himself fighting alongside a tribe of Tarks. By the way, the Tarks are a race of eight-feet tall, four armed, green Martian warriors and thanks to some top-notch special effects, they are completely realistic in this movie.
All of the monsters are believable, as are the Barsoom landscapes, civilizations and flying machines. I sometimes see movies where I spend half of the time thinking that I'm watching a guy in a rubber suit or some cheesy special effects. That never happened here. "John Carter" is directed by Andrew Stanton, who is mostly known for his work on the animated movies "Finding Nemo" and "Wall-E." It's obvious that Pixar taught him the power of creating a totally believable world that's filled with memorable imagery.
I do find it interesting that the story feels a bit dated. Edgar Rice Burroughs started writing these tales just over one hundred years ago, so I suppose that's to be expected. Then again, it's familiar to us because we've seen many of John Carter's themes in classic science fiction films. George Lucas and James Cameron, for example, freely admit that they found inspiration for "Star Wars" and "Avatar" within the pages of Borroughs' books.
Ultimately, if you take John Carter's notable pedigree, add in Stanton's visual flair plus a better-than-average cast of actors and a superb musical score and you're left with a crowd-pleasing cinematic winner. It will appeal mostly to younger boys who think that bug-eyed monsters are cool, but if you have even a passing fondness for science fiction fantasies, you should love the old-school adventures of "John Carter."
Movie reviews by Sean, "The Movie Guy," are published bi-weekly in "The Port Arthur News" and seen weekly on KFDM-TV and KBOI 2-TV. Sean welcomes your comments via email at email@example.com.

Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant has found his way back to the rap world, and yes I checked to make sure I spelled rap, rapper and rapping correctly for each use. Sorry, just wanted to get that out of the way first. This time, though, Kobe isn't the man with the mic, as that honor goes to Chinese rap superstar Jay Chou. The video is for his single 天地一鬥 (Tian Di Yi Dou), which translates to "We Both Endorse Sprite". The song features autotune, Nintendo sound effects, more autotune, Chinese lyrics, even more autotune, and some voiceovers by Kobe, while the video features crazy dope dance moves and some straight up ballin' between Kobe and Jay.
Not to criticize the video or the artist too much, but I can't help but feel like I've seen this video before…
I want more like this!

At&T announced an ambitious plan to provide broadband connectivity to over 300 million people by the end of 2014. By investing $14 billion in both wireline and wireless technology, AT&T hopes to reach over 96% of all U.S. residents. AT&T, the largest telephone company in the United States, plans to use a combination of financial and business strategies to diversify its portfolio, increase revenues, and expand broadband access in rural America.
While the company is planning for future growth, the move also signals AT&T's desire to decommission older copper-line phone networks which provide DSL and landline phone service to 76 million homes and businesses in 22 U.S. states. While making the announcement about Project VIP, AT&T's CEO and Chairman Randall Stephenson signaled that AT&T would attempt to repeal state landline regulations in the process of expanding its network.
Massive Rebuilding of Broadband Networks After Hurricane Sandy: Major Broadband Providers Pledge Funding and Immediate Rebuilding
Four states (Florida, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin) have already passed laws that release telephone companies from a requirement to provide affordable telephone service to every resident. These states claim that the regulations are outdated in a new era of broadband, smartphones and other Internet devices. The telecommunication industry is lobbying many other states to do the same thing.
Verizon to Only Offer Bundled DSL Service with Voice Plans: Verizon Decision Limits Consumer Choices
Earlier this year AT&T signaled a desire to sell both its Yellow Page Directory Service and older copper based rural telecom lines, because they were "underperforming assets." AT&T agreed to sell majority ownership of the Yellow Page Division to Cerberus Capital Management. The company's rural telecommunication network was slated to be sold next, raising the ire of many rural Americans. According to Bloomberg.com, Chief Executive Officer Randall Stephenson is quoted as being "cautiously optimistic" about using new broadband technology to boost the speed of broadband networks in rural areas, and boost company revenues.
Not All Broadband is Created Equal: Various Options in Broadband Technology
According to the Bloomberg article, AT&T will decide on whether to upgrade or sell the rural telecom assets by the end of 2012. Fueling the company's desire to upgrade its rural broadband network assets, is the potential revenue resulting from offering a slate of profitable services including Internet access, voice and video services. Almost 15 million customers fall outside the range of the company's U-Verse fiber optic service, and use older copper-based DSL service - which offers access to the Internet - but at much lower speeds than fiber-optic technology offers.
Determining Broadband Speed Requirements: How Much Broadband Speed do You Need?
IP DSLAM Could Speed Up DSL Connections
A network device called an Internet Protocol Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer serves as a network gateway for DSL customers. With the cost of this equipment less than originally expected, AT&T had been rethinking its rural broadband strategy.
The business decision AT&T is dealing with involves upgrading older copper telephone wiring which exists between the company's switching office and its customers. For customers living more than 10,000 feet from the company's office - DSL service can be very slow. While replacing copper lines with fiber optic connections would dramatically increase speeds, the IP DSLAM is a less costly alternative for the company.
Depending on the degree to which AT&T opts to use the new equipment, the company could extend fiber to a limited number of IP DSLAM's, which are located at the most distant points from the central exchange. Copper phone wiring could still be used to transmit the signal to customer's homes, serving two primary purposes - offering new DSL service to unserved customers, and increasing bandwidth for existing DSL customers.
At the time AT&T outlined the options the company was considering for broadband in rural America, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said "We are giving this a hard look.
The company's announcement of its new $14 billion investment plan, dubbed "Project Velocity IP," or "VIP" provides some insight into AT&T's strategy for using IP DSLAMs to expand service and raise speeds for its DSL customers. Project Velocity IP is divided into three primary investment categories for its wireless strategy, and four categories for its wireline strategy. Part of its wireline strategy includes using U-Verse IPDSLAM's to expand U-Verse coverage to 24 million customers, offering speeds of up to 45 Mbps.
AT&T Project VIP Includes $14 Billion Investment to Increase Broadband Access: AT&T: 4G LTE Will Reach 300 Million People, 95% of Wireline Customers
The strategic move announced by AT&T comes at the same time the company is also touting its extensive repair effort in the States of New York and New Jersey - two of the hardest hit states in the wake of Hurricane Sandy earlier in November 2012.

Structural & Computational Biology
The Structural and Computational Biology Programme at the IRB Barcelona brings together researchers with the common aim of studying biological processes from a structural viewpoint. Biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, are the main players in the living cell and knowledge of their three-dimensional structure and the way they interact with each other contributes to our understanding how the cell machinery functions. Furthermore, the enormous amount of genomic and structural information available requires the use of computational tools to attain a synthetic perspective of the mechanisms, interplay and networks underlying cell action.
At present, the Programme includes research groups specialised in X-ray crystallography, NMR and other biophysical techniques, as well as bio-computation. State-of-the-art technological facilities are available for research activities in all these fields.

On Wednesday, Paul Ryan's 2012 U.S. House challenger Rob Zerban announced he will seek a rematch in 2014 against the failed GOP VP nominee. Should Zerban win his party's nomination next year, that would mean the Democratic Party will have fielded just five different candidates across the last 10 election cycles in the state's 1st CD since 1996: Lydia Spottswood (1996, 1998), Jeffrey Thomas (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006), Marge Krupp (2008), John Heckenlively (2010), and Zerban (2012, 2014?). Democrats held the 1st CD in southeastern Wisconsin from 1971 through 1994 when Ryan's predecessor Mark Neumann won the seat during the Republican Revolution.
Kevin McCarthy Becomes Least Tenured Floor Leader in US House History
The Second Time Around
Former Republican Congressman Bob Beauprez became the seventh major party or second place gubernatorial candidate in Colorado to get a second chance at the office when he narrowly won his party's nomination last month. Two of the previous six candidates were successful. Democrat Alva Adams lost his first gubernatorial bid to Benjamin Eaton in 1884, but was victorious two years later against William Meyer. Democrat Charles Johnson placed third in 1894 behind Republican Albert McIntyre and Populist incumbent Governor David Waite but returned as the Fusion (Democrat/Populist) nominee in 1898 and defeated GOPer Henry Wolcott. Gubernatorial candidates who received a second chance but lost both general elections include Democrat Thomas Patterson (1888, 1914), Progressive Edward Costigan (1912, 1914), Republican Donald Brotzman (1954, 1956), and Republican David Strickland (1978, 1986).
How Are the Plurality Winners Doing?
Nearly 40 percent of plurality winners of U.S. Senate elections lose their seat in the next election cycle. Will that happen to any of the three such incumbents on the ballot in 2014? Recent polling suggests Democrats Al Franken of Minnesota, Mark Begich of Alaska, and Jeff Merkley of Oregon all currently have an advantage over their nominated/frontrunning GOP opponents, but each is flirting with plurality support once again. Franken led endorsed GOPer Mike McFadden 48 to 42 percent in a new SurveyUSA poll while the polling group showed Merkley with a 50 to 32 percent advantage over Monica Wehby. Begich led each of the three major GOP candidates in last month's PPP survey: 42 to 37 percent over Daniel Sullivan, 41 to 33 percent over Mead Treadwell, and 43 to 27 percent over Joe Miller.

New Orleans rockers the Revivalists cover the Bee Gee's "To Love Somebody", recored in the Jam in the Van vehicle at the High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy, California last July.
In addition to tons of great live music, Satchmo SummerFest includes a series of seminars on all aspects of Louis Armstrong's live and career. These seminars happen in the Old US Mint on the 3rd floor.
Here's a way to celebrate Friday: get your body moving with the Rebirth Brass Band as they perform the track "Rebirth Groove" from their new album, Move Your Body. Recorded live at The Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans and hot of the presses, just published yesterday (7/31) by Basin Street Records.
John Boutte sings Annie Lennox's "Why" with the New Orleans Social Club on an October 2006 episode of Austin City Limits.
Ever since he listened to "St. Louis Blues" on Louis Armstrong's "16 Most Requested Songs" CD, Ricky Riccardi has been obsessed with Pops. Less than a decade after he graduated from Rutgers Newark University with a master's degree in Jazz History and Research in 2005, he landed his dream job at the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Corona, Queens, NY.
Prior to working with the Armstrong Museum, Riccardi created the Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong blog in 2007 (dippermouth.blogspot.com), through which he connected with other serious Armstrong collectors around the world. His quest for collecting and sharing Armstrong's music only intensified when he got settled into his new position as archivist at the Queens College Louis Armstrong House Museum. Ricky, along with his colleagues, continued to dig like an archaeologist, unearthing lost and mostly unheard gems from the largest music and memorabilia collection of any jazz musician in the world. Jazz fans have been rewarded by his treasure hunt which has excavated a gold mine of Satchmo's music.
Because of his extensive knowledge of Pops, Riccardi, the author of "What a Wonderful World: The Magic of Louis Armstrong's Later Years" (Pantheon 2011), was tapped to write the liner notes and suggested some of the track selections for the CDs in the 2011 "Satchmo: Louis Armstrong, Ambassador of Jazz" CD collection (Universal), packaged in a unique replica of a vintage suitcase filled with reproduction sheet music and a 200 page book written by Richard Havers. Some previously unreleased material was featured on one of the discs.
Get going this Monday morning with an upbeat number from New Orleans' premier washboard-sousaphone-guitar trio, the Tin Men (Alex McMurray, Matt Perrine, and Washboard Chaz): "Sit Down on the Banks of the River", originally by blues legend the Reverend Gary Davis.

I recently read Congressman Markwayne Mullin's statement about sequestration and I could not agree more with his position.
In my life, I have trimmed my budget in order to cope with rising costs and the new payroll tax. If I can find savings in my checkbook, why can the government not find savings with our tax dollars?
I am grateful we have a leader like Markwayne Mullin in Congress representing our district. As a business owner, he sees the stalemate on reducing the debt and controlling federal spending for what it is — dysfunction and a lack of leadership. Keep fighting, Congressman Mullin!

Made the 20 mile, one way, trek last night. Worth every mile! The only thing, they dont normally serve the boar bo luc lac, they just happened to have that cut of meat that day. Got the venison carpaccio... swoon...a catfish claypot that I almost cried into, it was so good. I've been chasing a frozen ginger creme brulee that I had over 10 years ago, as the best dessert I've ever had... the simple creme brulee here, just amazing... outseated my lofty dream dessert. Headed back for lunch tomorrow.
Katherine, you didnt steer me wrong with Hogs and Chicks (I have an adoration for that place that veers on cultish... even though their sister restaurant, Aura, is awful... they couldnt even make beef carpaccio correctly) and you came through again here.
A 40 mile round trip? You are a trooper, my friend. So very glad it paid off and you enjoyed your meal. :)
Thank you Katharine and Sahel. We are looking foward to serve you both all the best again.

Michael & Sonja Saltman
The Saltman Center owes both its inspiration and its existence to the generous contributions and personal efforts of its founding donors, Michael and Sonja Saltman. These contributions have made it possible for the Center to hire its Director and to embark on the first phase of its mission—promoting scholarly investigation in the field of dispute resolution.
The Saltman Center is now undertaking additional fundraising efforts, seeking a combination of grants and private contributions, in order to expand its scholarly programs and to embark on the educational and public service aspects of its core mission. If fundraising efforts are successful, the Center will be able to fulfill its promise of becoming one of the leading national and international resources for the study and resolution of conflicts.

Pours a nice, rich copper colour. Smells sweet with a nice ginger aroma. Taste a bit sweet and slightly bitter with a spicy ginger root flavour. More carbonated than a typical beer, but on par with most other ginger beers.
Pretty much like a semi-sweet cider, but with a ginger taste, and a little bitterness to off-set the sweetness.
Would I buy it again? Maybe... It's not bad by any means, but just not my thing.

look: 3.25 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2.75 | overall: 3.25
A: The beer is crystal clear golden yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high white head consisting of large bubbles that died down rather quickly, leaving some lacing on the surface and a thin collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of spicy ginger are present in the nose.
T: In this initial sip of this beer, you get immediate flavors of ginger and hints of sweetness that almost make it seem like you're drinking ginger ale. The sweetness then begins to dissipate and is replaced by slight hints of spices towards the finish. The spicy ginger flavors linger through the aftertaste. The beer seems to become spicer as it warms up.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a little syrupy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer has a good amount of ginger flavors and associated spiciness, but the syrupy mouthfeel is somewhat of a detriment to its drinkability.

500 mL bottle picked up at the LCBO and served well-chilled; best before March 31 2015. With the warm weather finally in full swing, it seems about the right time of year to start trying new ginger beers.
Pours a bright, golden-amber colour; clear in hue and topped with two fingers of puffy, soapy white head that fizzles away steadily over the next minute or two. Cobwebs of sticky lacing adhere to the glass. The aroma contains a fair amount of ginger spice, but it's rather sweet as well, giving the overall bouquet a candied ginger root vibe. Not bad, but it'd be nice if it had some company.
Well, this is rather disappointing. The ginger is there - with more intensity and heat than on the nose, at least - but beyond that there is not much else to say about this beer's flavour. It is annoyingly sweet, with barely any malt backbone available to counter the sugar. Ginger spice hangs on briefly into the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is quite sticky and syrupy, which is exactly the sort of feel I do NOT want in a light summer ginger beer. On the light-side of medium-bodied, and not terribly refreshing.
Final Grade: 2.91, a forgettable C grade. Wychwood's Ginger Beard is easily the worst offering I've tried from this brewery, and probably the lamest alcoholic ginger beer I've ever had. It's not exactly offensive, but it is a dull, uninspired offering with tooth-rotting sweetness that I don't expect I'll return to again. It became more tolerable as I made my way through the glass (mostly because the ginger heat slowly builds up, and I'm a fan of that). This one definitely needs some work before I'd recommend it to anyone - you're better off sticking with Crabbie's - or hell, why not Vernors?

Palate is medium and watery with lively carbonation.

His first wife had left him. He was separated from his children. He was starting over in another city and sleeping on the floor of a friend's apartment.
But he had a Bible and a dictionary -- The Word and the words -- so Derrick Hayes realized he had an abundance of resources to transform his setbacks into bounce-backs.
And he turned his woe into a Word Of Encouragement.
Array of messages
A decade later, the 43-year-old Columbus resident is remarried and actively involved with his two children and two stepchildren. He works as a special-education aide at Jordan High School. He also is a motivational speaker with an array of online offerings to spread his message, such as:
Motivation To Your Mobile, a free app that has a daily Word Of Encouragement. It has been downloaded more than 30,000 times, he said. "Man, people are looking for motivation," he said.
TodaysHonoree.com, a blog that highlights one inspiring person each Monday through Friday. "We've done over 500 profiles," he said. "I've only nominated two people, one is my daughter and the other is my wife." The rest come from submitted nominations, he said.
EncouragementSpeaker.com and DerrickHayes.com, websites that show more of his talents, such as Derricknyms, in which Hayes turns the name of his customer into an acrostic. He uses the name's letters as the first letter in a series of words that form a positive message. He doesn't use a computer program to create the acrostics. "God just gives them to me," he said.
Hayes has more than 4,700 friends on Facebook and more than 4,300 followers on Twitter.
In October, Hayes spoke during the Association for Black Culture Centers annual conference at Auburn University.
"Your gift with words really makes an impact on the people you connect with," Shakeer Abdullah, the association's vice president, wrote in a testimonial. "Our students and staff are still beaming from their interactions with you."
Other groups Hayes has spoken to include the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization annual conference in Chicago, a student leadership conference at Jackson State University, local Subway restaurants and the Columbus State University men's basketball team.
Full circle
Hayes' journey came full circle when he spoke at his alma mater, Tennessee State University.
On the Nashville main campus Sept. 24, he presented "Building Relationships in College and Out."
He estimated the crowd at 150-200.
"It felt great," he said. "My work isn't in vain. I love what I do, whether I make a dollar or not, but now people are starting to realize that what I have is of value.
"I'm not a rocket scientist. I just give people science to help them rocket."
Tennessee State mass communication major Jer'Mykeal McCoy wrote in a testimonial, "Students were really empowered by the message of Derrick Hayes. Mr. Hayes not only did he bring a lot of real world experience to the students but he made it relatable."
Hayes grew up in Rantoul, Ill., adjacent to the now-closed Chanute Air Force Base, about 20 minutes north of Champaign, the University of Illinois main campus.
"I was determined to make something with my life, to do something," he said. "I had big dreams, still do. I have friends that have been killed. I have friends still locked up."
He failed the ACT college entrance exam on his first try but persevered to attend Tennessee State. He paid his way through college via Hot Dog Heaven, a business he and a friend started as freshmen with three packs of wieners. During his senior year, he saw his grander fundraising idea come to fruition as he helped turn a blank wall on campus into the "Wall of Excellence," where businesses pay a fee to display their logos. That project has raised more than $500,000 for Tennessee State scholarships in 10 years, said Hayes, who graduated in 1993 with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
The Urban League in Nashville challenged him to speak to youth in mentoring programs while he was a student at Tennessee State.
"I never thought this was going to plant a seed for working with juveniles later on," he said. "We were going to juvenile detentions centers, through our church program. I started developing and got the confidence that I could speak on my own."
He worked in Alabama at various jobs in education, although he hasn't completed his master's degree to become a certified teacher. When his first marriage soured in 2003, he moved to Atlanta and slept on a friend's apartment floor for about a year, until he was hired as a direct-care professional for Devereux Georgia, a behavioral health treatment network for children and youth adults with severe emotional and psychological challenges.
"I was down," he said. "I was hurting."
So he turned to his Bible and dictionary and found inspiration in the phrase "Woe is me."
"Woe is a trial or tribulation," he said, "but I saw it as a Word Of Encouragement."
His first weekend in Atlanta, his friend convinced him to go out dancing instead of feeling sorry for himself. The same scenario happened that night to a divorced woman from Columbus, who joined her friend for a night of dancing in Atlanta. That's how Hayes met his current wife, Kim, a registered nurse at the John B. Amos Cancer Center.
"A WOE is what I would share with her, because we still were long distance," he said. "She was in Columbus; I was in Atlanta.
"I started to see things in words I never saw before. I would read the dictionary frontward and backward."
For example, Hayes saw the word "if" in the word "life."
"So if you don't try," he said, "who's to say you will succeed?"
His own definitions
Hayes moved to Columbus in 2006 and married Kim in 2007. He worked as a juvenile corrections officer before joining the Jordan staff in 2012.
His mother, who died from cancer in 2007, inspired his riff on the word "look."
"She told me don't worry about how things look," he said. "She couldn't wear the shoes she liked to wear. She couldn't wear her hair the way she liked to wear it. My mom was a classy lady, and she couldn't look the way she used to live, but inside the word 'look' is the word 'OK,' because, no matter how things look, everything is going to be OK."
And here's what he learned from sleeping on that floor, where some would say he had hit BOTTOM but he insists on a different definition: "Being Optimistic Through Trials Opens Miracles."
Then he quoted Proverbs 18:16 to put the lesson in perspective: "A man's gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men.' I learned that everybody has a talent, but not everybody has the confidence to develop it or even try. Most dreams end up in the cemetery."
Instead of thinking your goal is "impossible," he said, see within the word an empowering message: "I'm possible."

Gift Guide
Nothing says "home-made" gift like crocheted projectile vomit.
Sometimes I get down on crafting. How many tea cozies can one world possibly need? But then I see something like this fully crocheted scene from The Exorcist and it renews my faith in handicrafts. The hand-spun set shows a crocheted Regan sitting on top of her bed, projectile vomiting onto a stunned Father Merrin. It's frightening how detailed this is, Regan's face is covered with cuts and Father Merrin looks appropriately disturbed.
More details below, each one is made to order.
Regan sits about 7" tall, Merrin stands at around 9" tall. The two figures are connected by the puke stream, but Regan can be moved from the bed. Bed measures about 7"H x 7.5"L x 6"W and is made from balsa and bass wood, stained, then completed with a crocheted mattress, pillow, and tiny quilt.

Can Kaposi sarcoma be found early?
Next Topic
How is Kaposi sarcoma staged?
How is Kaposi sarcoma diagnosed?
Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is often found when a person goes to the doctor because of signs or symptoms they are having. Sometimes KS may be found during a routine physical exam. If KS is suspected, further tests will be needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Signs and symptoms of Kaposi sarcoma
KS usually appears first on the skin, forming purple, red, or brown patches (not raised above the surrounding skin), plaques (flat areas that are slightly raised), or nodules (bumps) that are called lesions. The skin lesions of KS most often develop on the legs or face, but they can also appear in other areas. Lesions can also develop on mucous membranes such as those inside the mouth. The lesions are usually not painful or itchy. Some lesions on the legs or in the groin area might block the flow of fluid out of the legs. This can lead to painful swelling in the legs and feet.
KS lesions can also sometimes appear in other parts of the body. Lesions in the lungs might block part of an airway and cause shortness of breath. Lesions that develop in the intestines can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, or bleeding from the rectum.
Medical history and physical exam
If your doctor suspects you might have KS, you will be asked about your medical history to learn about illnesses, operations, your sexual activity, and other possible exposures to Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) and HIV. The doctor will ask you about your symptoms and about any skin tumors you have noticed.
As part of a complete physical exam, the doctor will examine your skin and the inside of your mouth to look for KS lesions. Sometimes KS lesions develop inside the rectum (the part of the large intestine just inside the anus). A doctor might be able to feel these lesions during an exam with a gloved finger. The doctor may also check the stool for occult (unseen) blood, since KS in the intestines can cause bleeding.
To be sure that a lesion is caused by KS, the doctor will need to take a small sample of tissue from the lesion and send it to a lab to be analyzed. This is called a biopsy. A specially trained doctor called a pathologist can often diagnose KS by looking at the cells in the biopsy sample under a microscope.
For skin lesions, the doctor will usually perform a punch biopsy, which removes a tiny round piece of tissue. If the entire lesion is removed, it is called an excisional biopsy. These procedures can often be done with just local anesthesia (numbing medicine).
Lesions in other areas, such as the lungs or intestines, can be biopsied during other procedures such as bronchoscopy or endoscopy, which are described below.
Chest x-ray
The lungs may be x-rayed to see if KS is there. If the x-ray shows something abnormal, other tests might be needed to tell for sure if it is KS or some other condition.
If someone is known to have KS in the lung, chest x-rays can be used to see how the disease is responding to treatment.
Bronchoscopy lets the doctor look into the windpipe (trachea) and the large airways of the lungs. This procedure is often done if the patient is having problems such as shortness of breath or coughing up blood, or if the chest x-ray shows something abnormal. Any of these could mean that KS is in the lungs.
Before starting the bronchoscopy, the patient is put to sleep with a light anesthesia. Then the doctor inserts the bronchoscope (a thin, flexible lighted tube with a small video camera on the end) through the mouth, down the windpipe, and into the lungs. If the doctor sees an abnormal area that might be KS, it can be biopsied through the bronchoscope. Bronchoscopy with biopsies can also be used to help diagnose other lung problems seen in AIDS patients, such as pneumonia.
Gastrointestinal endoscopy
One or more of these tests might be done when the doctor suspects that KS is in the stomach or intestines and is causing problems.
- Upper endoscopy (also called esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or EGD) is used to look at the inner lining of the esophagus, the stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. For this procedure, the patient is first given drugs to make them sleepy. Then, the doctor guides the endoscope (a thin, flexible, lighted tube with a small video camera on the end) through the mouth and esophagus and into the stomach and small intestine. This lets the doctor see things like ulcers, infections, and KS lesions. If an abnormal area is seen, the doctor can use small surgical instruments through the endoscope to biopsy it.
- Colonoscopy is used to look inside the large intestine (colon and rectum). Before this test can be done, the colon and rectum must be cleaned out to remove any stool. This often means drinking a large amount of a liquid laxative the night before and the morning of the procedure. Sometimes enemas are used as well. Just before the procedure, the patient is given intravenous (IV) medicine to make him or her relaxed or even asleep. Then a colonoscope (a long, flexible, tube with a light and video camera on the end) is inserted through the rectum and into the colon. Any abnormal areas seen can be biopsied.
- Capsule endoscopy is a way to look at the small intestine. It is not truly a type of endoscopy, since it doesn't use an endoscope. Instead, the patient swallows a capsule (about the size of a large vitamin pill) that contains a light source and a very small camera. Like any other pill, the capsule goes through the stomach and into the small intestine. As it travels through the small intestine (usually over about 8 hours), it takes thousands of pictures. These images are transmitted electronically to a device worn around the person's waist while he or she goes on with normal daily activities. The images can then be downloaded onto a computer, where the doctor can look at them as a video. The capsule passes out of the body during a normal bowel movement and is discarded. A disadvantage of this test is that it doesn't allow the doctor to biopsy any abnormal areas.
- Double balloon enteroscopy is another way to look at the small intestine. Regular endoscopy cannot look very far into the small intestine because it is too long and has too many curves. This method gets around these problems by using a special endoscope that is made up of 2 tubes, one inside the other. The patient is given intravenous (IV) medicine to make him or her relaxed, or even asleep. The endoscope is then inserted either through the mouth or the anus, depending on if there is a specific part of the small intestine to be examined. Once inside the small intestine, the inner tube, which has the camera on the end, is advanced about a foot as the doctor looks at the lining of the intestine. Then a balloon at its end is inflated to anchor it. The outer tube is then pushed forward to near the end of the inner tube and is anchored in place with a second balloon. This process is repeated over and over, letting the doctor see the intestine a foot at a time. The doctor can even take a biopsy if something abnormal is seen. This procedure is more involved than capsule endoscopy (and may take as long as 2 hours to complete), but it has the advantage of letting the doctor biopsy any lesions seen.
KS can also affect other organs, such as the liver, spleen, heart, or bone marrow. These areas do not often need to be biopsied if the patient is already known to have KS based on biopsies of other tissues, such as skin, lungs, or intestines.

Original recipe yields 4 servings
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the Chinese broccoli and cook uncovered until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, ginger, and garlic together in a small saucepan over medium heat until thickened and no longer cloudy, 5 to 7 minutes. Toss the broccoli in the sauce and serve.

I simply love Gai Lan. It is one of the best veggies I've ever had. I have found it at Chinese and Vietnamese markets, but usually I get it at the China Market near my house. It's bitter so ends up going really well with a sweeter sauce. This recipe is VERY close to what I usually do so I feel justified in reviewing it. When I blanch my gai lan, I put in a teaspoon of salt, teaspoon of baking soda and a thick slice of ginger (or some bottled minced is good too) in the water. For the sauce I like using some oyster sauce so it's half hoisin/half oyster. (I use vegetarian oyster sauce purchased at the Chinese market). I've also left out the oil and been fine, but the oil is good too. Other than that my recipe is pretty much the same. You could do less garlic if you don't like it, but I love garlic.
Great combination of flavors for Gai Lan. I didn't boil it, just sauted in a bit of oil before adding the sauce. I added a cubed small kohlrabi as well.
I like to use this sauce to toss not only Gai Lan, but also broccoli or green beans. It makes a flavorful veggie side for any asian meat & steamed rice dish. I find that half the sauce is plenty for 1 bunch or 1 pound of veggies, but this is just preference. I like my veggies just lightly coated. Thanks for the recipe!
