So kayaking has caught your interest. Now what? We decided to visit the Sports Chalet in West Jordan, Utah, and ask some questions on this popular sport. Jamie Gill, the assistant manager and a former white water guide, provided us with his expert advice and some kayaking 101 tips on what a newbie needs to know.
First things first; what kind of kayak does a newbie need?
There are a lot of basic kayaks from recreational to touring, which aren't going to be too much for a newbie kayaker to handle, Gill says. These are not the type of kayaks you're going to be taking out on the white rapids, though. These kayaks are intended for what's called a flat float, or still water. Recreational kayaks are not going to be able to take the same beating as a white water kayak option would. To get started, Gill recommends first deciding what kind of kayaking you'll be doing. Are you going to be out leisurely enjoying the lake with family or friends, or do you have the need for speed and want the rush of rapids.
Paddle On
The next thing on your list is finding the right paddle. The touring and recreation type kayaks come with three different sized paddles. The options are a 2/20, a 2/30 and a 2/40. The 2/20 is good for shorter kayaks and smaller people, while the 2/30 and 2/40 tend to be better for taller people, and people possibly doing some long distance kayaking.
Appropriate Kayaking Apparel
Gill says, start with sunscreen! Make sure you take all the sun protection you can. Polarized sunglasses work really well, because they prevent the glare from the water and you'll probably want a hat. Getting wet is part of the plan, so you'll also want a long sleeve quick dry shirt. Gill recommends something synthetic, and even says going with a piece that has a UPF in it is a great idea. A good pair of quick dry swim trunks is a must and you'll definitely want a great water sandal. You won't want to use a heavy wetsuit. The function of a wetsuit is to use the water that's trapped inside to keep you warm and since you aren't fully immersed in the water, "you'll bake before you'll freeze," Gill says. You want to keep your apparel lightweight.
Kayak with Kids
When purchasing a kayak for a child, Gill recommends buying the 6 ft. kayak built for children ages 10-12. Children any younger should not be using their own kayak. Kids wanting to ride along can easily do so with an adult in a two-person kayak. Since the single seat and double seat recreational and touring kayaks are the same size, you won't be paddling that much harder with a child on board.
Picking a PFD
Aside from the kayak and the paddle, a personal flotation device is a kayaking essential. Using the term life jacket is no longer the norm, because a life jacket doesn't necessarily save your life; it's meant to assist you in what you're doing to stay afloat. A good rule to follow is: as soon as the water is ankle deep, get a pfd on. You never know what's going on under the surface of the water, whether it's rocks or entrapments. There are specific pfd's for kayakers that are wider in the shoulders so as not to constrict you while you're trying to paddle. They're also not as bulky as some of the other water sport options.
Getting Your Kayak From Here to There
Roof racks that are kayak and canoe specific are the way to go! If you don't want to get into an advanced roof rack system, there are more economical foam kayak rack systems. They allow the kayak to nest inside and you simply tighten with a few straps. There are a number of different options, from a full roof rack system to something simpler, depending on your specific needs.
Great Starter Locations for Newbies in the Salt Lake Area
Newbie kayakers have some great lakes to choose from. The Jordan River is a nice flat float and there are some really good sections on it for beginners. As far as lake kayaking goes, Gill advises going to Little Dell Reservoir up East Canyon. They don't allow motorized boats, so somebody that might be a little anxious about motorized boats coming around while they're trying to learn, wouldn't need to worry about that.
Timing Your Kayaking Adventure
What's the best time of time to go kayaking? "Boy, anytime of day," Gill says with a smile. He says early morning and early evening are good. But, if you don't mind the heat, mid-afternoon is good as well. If you are planning on going after dark, it's a good idea to get to know the boating laws in the area.
The Peaceful Way to Exercise
One thing's for sure, you're going to get a workout. "I used to be a pretty skinny kid when I was out guiding," Gill reminisced. It's a great arm workout and can be great cardio depending on the distance you're going. You also do a lot of side-to-side movement, which is great for tightening your core. What better way to workout, then out on a peaceful lake rowing!
Plan ahead with our kayaking 101 checklist below.

Ronald Reagan is an interesting spectre.
When Reagan was President from 1980 to 1988, I was still coming to a period of political realization. I was still a child, paying more attention to the news than my friends were, but I was too young to understand the nuances of Cold War politics. My primary source of information was my parents; and, like most "my dad is cooler than your dad" children, I probably annoyed the other children on the playground by talking about how I would vote for Walter Mondale, if only I could vote yet.
And, it was probably my continued predilection towards these kinds of conversations that made me a social leper when it came to dating in high school.
But let's give credit where it's due. Reagan probably accidentally introduced me to politics as a young child by giving his (overwhelmingly expensive and realistically-impossible) missle-defense shield program the nickname "Star Wars" at a particularly impressionable time in my life. When you're a child in the 80s, a shield in outer space seems perfectly plausible, especially when you believe your society is only ten-to-fifteen years away from patrols by the Millenium Falcon above your head and Marty McFly's Hoverboard below your feet.
And so, while I have grown up to realize that my childhood ideas of the way the world works were naive, many people have not learned that lesson about the economic policies of Ronald Reagan.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Somewhere in the years following his death in 2004, Ronald Reagan became a legend; and possibly Mitt Romney's favorite ghost since Moroni. During his term, President Reagan's approval ratings never topped a modest 68%, and his average was a 53. In case you're not one to click on the links I provide, George HW Bush capped at 89 and settled with about a 61. So that means that, during their respective presidencies, George HW Bush was actually more popular than Reagan. And Bush spent less time at his job than your average Cleveland Browns coach.
But oh, how history re-writes itself in rose-colored inks. Turn on the news today, and it seems like Reagan was a beloved demi-god, wielding the Hammer of Thor and bringing the nation together over a time of such economic prosperity that our middle class feet were lined with diamonds on the souls of our shoes.
(Hell yes I dropped an obscure Paul Simon reference. Take that, Dennis Miller.)
Today, Republicans love the ghost of Ronald Reagan. And I think that's fantastic. Good for you guys. Reagan did arguably (and eventually) preside over a time of economic prosperity, and there's nothing wrong with regarding the 80s as halcyon days. I still love a good game of Galaga.
But let's not pretend the world was not a different place. Let's not make the mistake of exactly and finitely equating his policies as though past were prologue.
Reagan's famous M.O. was the oft-debated theory of "Trickle Down Economics." In short, the theory is that, if businesses and the wealthy are afforded tax breaks and incentives, that money will eventually "trickle down" to the poorer and make the economy stronger. It wasn't a new idea, and it wasn't even one that was agreed upon as something that would work (even then), but it was a sort of blueprint for him then, and it is still the economic blueprint for the GOP now.
Mitt Romney (as of now, anyway) would love us to go back to the policies of Reagan to re-usher in that same prosperity; say nothing of the fact that the tax rates were still higher under Reagan than they are today, that the internet and machines hadn't yet replaced humans in manufacturing jobs, or that we were spending money hand over fist to push the now non-existent USSR into bankruptcy.
Another thing we seem to be ignoring is that there are less mechanisms in place for that wealth to trickle down to the working class because there are fewer unions today in order to bargain for a bigger piece of that wealth. In 2011, the union membership rate was 11.8%. In 1983, it was 20%. With the number of union memberships essentially cut in half, there are even fewer tools in place for middle class workers to bargain for that wealth than when Reagan was President.
And since Reagan was President, the wealth gap has increased, and expendable income decreased; whether or not you want to debate that Reganomics was the cause of that. There have simply been no reasons for the wealthy to give up the very human tendency towards greed, hire more people, and filter that wealth down through philanthropy and the growth of the middle class.
The realisty is that, since the days Reagan, the diamonds on the soles of our middle class shoes went first to cubic zirconium, then to shards of glass, and now we're stuck with idiotic lights in our sneakers that make us look like you've got a one-man disco party on your piggies. And that's if you haven't given up on life completely and decided on Crocs.
Put simply, even if we were to agree that "Trickle Down" economics was a viable theory back then, there are barely any mechanisms remaining in place today to ensure that the wealth actually does what it's "supposed" to do. And though our country still maintains some similarities from the 80s (I'm still waiting on that Hoverboard, McFly), it's simply not applicable to make an apples-to-apples comparison with our current economic climate.

I just haven't figured out what yet. So here it sits, neglected and dry. And here it will continue to sit until I discover what direction it may need to move in. I may not change a thing but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to drudge up the energy to make the normal happenings of our lives sound even remotely interesting to anyone but us.
We're busy. Mad-busy. And life is great. God is Awesome. Exciting new things are happening.
But I seem to have lost the drive necessary to take the time to sit and present it.
So here The Crazy Side sits and will continue to sit until I am struck with Creative Inspiration. For those of you who will bear with me, I thank you. And for those of you who move on, I understand. Completely.
I have no idea how long this Creative Freeze may last.
Who knows. This little tidbit of honesty may be the very thing needed to bring back my desire to wax poetic about mundane things.
Or not.
Time will only tell. :)
Until when,

When cofounders Jay Van Andel and Rich DeVos started Amway in 1959, they did not stop with their initial product offering or American footprint. They kept growing by asking themselves, "What if…?"
That same question is still asked each day by our Business Innovations team. Glenn Armstrong, head of the team, talks about it in this video, the first of several we will be posting.
"If you continue to ask yourself, 'What if?' it gets you thinking about the possibilities," Armstrong said. "What if we had this many distributors? What if Amway supplied these types of products?
"If you ask yourself, 'What if?' you find yourself getting used to being outside your comfort zone."

Rather than confining a dog to a crate when it cannot be supervised, the owner may find it convenient to tether the dog (if
it is not too large, making this potentially unsafe) to himself or herself so that the dog stays with the owner as he or she
moves around the house. During this time, the owner can practice frequent command-reward sessions, asking the dog to perform
a simple task such as "sit" and rewarding it with praise, food treats, or a toy. Punishment for a lack of response should
be completely avoided. The worst thing that should happen to the dog for noncompliance is that it is ignored. In this manner,
the dog learns to associate the owner's presence and the sound of the owner's voice with a pleasant outcome. Learning what
behaviors earn rewards without any unpleasant consequences may also help a fearful or anxious dog become more confident.
If the owner has a safe, fenced yard, he or she can first try allowing the dog to go outside off leash while the owner quietly
watches the dog from the doorway. If the dog eliminates, the owner should quietly praise the dog. If the sound of the owner's
voice causes the dog to stop what it is doing, on future excursions outside, the owner should wait until the dog finishes
eliminating before calmly praising the dog.
If the home does not have a yard and the owner is limited to walking the fearful dog on a leash, he or she should first try
walking the dog with the longest lead available, taking it to the same location every time the dog goes out, and standing
as far from the dog as possible while completely ignoring it. Instruct the owner to stand quietly in this manner for about
two to five minutes or until the dog eliminates. The dog can be walked to several different spots and allowed to investigate
each, with the owner stopping for two to five minutes at each spot. If the dog does not eliminate in this time, then the owner
should return home and either confine the dog to a crate or, ideally, keep it tethered to himself or herself. About 15 minutes
later, the dog should be taken outside again, and the above procedure should be repeated. Once the dog appears to select an
area for urination, that area can be revisited each time the dog is walked, but the dog may still need to sniff and investigate
nearby areas to be stimulated to eliminate. With patience, the dog should eventually eliminate outside and learn that it will
be rewarded for this behavior.
For a variety of reasons, many dog owners find it easier to first train a dog to eliminate indoors on papers or pads. When
a dog has matured and can wait longer between eliminations, the owner may wish to change the dog's substrate preference to
grass or soil. This change can be most easily accomplished if the owner can first move the pads or paper closer to the door
through which the dog will go outside to eliminate. Once the dog is regularly eliminating near the door on the paper or pads,
the owner can begin observing the dog for signs that it needs to eliminate, interrupting the behavior, and taking the dog
outside to a slightly urine-soiled pad. The pad can be laid down immediately and the dog allowed to eliminate on it. The odor
and the familiar surface should encourage the dog to eliminate outside.
Once the dog becomes accustomed to going outside and eliminating on the familiar surface, the owner can move the pads or paper
outside to a location and surface where the owner would like the dog to eliminate. Eventually, the paper or pad presented
for elimination can be reduced in size by cutting or folding. The dog will become accustomed to walking across the grass toward
the pad and, as the pad gets smaller, the dog will start eliminating on the grass. Eventually, the owner can cease providing
the pad entirely.
You should make the owner aware that changing substrate preferences can be time- and labor-intensive. For this reason, warn
owners of new puppies against choosing paper- or pad-training unless their schedules require it.

Listen to this audiobook excerpt from Tom Friedman's book The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century. When scholars write the history of the world twenty years from now, what will they say was the most crucial development in the first few years of the twenty-first century? The attacks on the World Trade Center on 9/11 and the Iraq war?
Thomas L. Friedman has won the Pulitzer Prize three times for his work at The New York Times, where he serves as the foreign affairs columnist. He is the author of three previous books, all of them bestsellers: From Beirut to Jerusalem, winner of the National Book Award for nonfiction; The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization; and Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11. In 2005 The World Is Flat was given the first Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award, and Friedman was named one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with his family.

So many cities and regions continue to struggle economically. Even within nominally well-performing places there are pockets that have been left behind. Most of the have-nots in the current economy have been struggling for an extended period of time, often in spite of enormous efforts to bring positive change.
Why is this? Perhaps we need to consider the possibility that these places are getting exactly the results they want: Maybe they actually don't want economic development.
Since the Model-T, Americans have brought cars not only onto their streets, but also into their lives and their homes. Government has been handmaiden to this marriage, building millions of miles of roads, requiring vast seas of parking as a condition of development, and setting up traffic systems like stoplights and left-turn lanes that indicate paved thoroughfares are principally for drivers.
Like all relationships, the one Americans have with their cars evolves. In recent years, it would seem the nation's long-term romance with the auto is beginning to wane. Stats from a recent U.S. PIRG report say Americans are driving less per capita, particularly young people, who are also getting licensed at a later age. Young people view cars more like refrigerators. That is, like an appliance. They want one, and for it to work reliably, but it's less a projection of who they are.
This story is part of Governing's annual International issue.
One aspect of globalization that has received tremendous attention is the concept of the so-called "global city" -- a place like New York or London that is in some sense an exceptionally successful and dominant player on the world stage. These have been variously defined, but often with a focus on specific business services like finance, and on overall economic size, diversity of culture and attractiveness as a tourist destination.
From the smartphone in our hands to the flat-screen TVs on our walls—and the Internet that now runs between them—we have a level of technological wizardry that would make Harry Potter envious. We all know that behind these gadgets and platforms is an amazing level of skill and knowledge: in the concepts that led to them, in the designs that take concept to reality and in the manufacturing that creates them.
Outside our homes is a built environment of roads, train lines, bridges, water, power and fiber-optic lines that also requires skills to conceive, design, build and maintain. For whatever reason, though, we don't often think about those types of skills. But we should. Because unlike smartphones or even trains, it's hard to import that know-how from China or elsewhere. It's crucial that we maintain those important skills at home.
In an era of creativity we have come to fetishize the idea. That's why every innovation competition is about coming up with the best new ideas. It's as though the idea itself has the power to generate transformation. Yet, if it's never implemented, even the best idea is of no value.
This has been clearly shown in Rhode Island, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. The state has been in economic decline far longer than the Midwest's Rust Belt, prompting many a search for a solution. As one local TV reporter noted, proposals have been piling up since the Eisenhower administration, with none of them ever really implemented.

Nov. 15, 2013
By Layne Herdt (@LayneHerdt) Seminoles.com-
The Seminole secondary lost a first round draft pick in Xavier Rhodes, no problem the Noles just plugged in sophomore P.J. Williams.
The Noles then lost junior safety Tyler Hunter to an injury in the third game of the season, no problem, FSU just moved freshman Jalen Ramsey to his spot.
Unfortunately safety Terrance Brooks missed the Wake Forest game due to a concussion, fortunately the Garnet and Gold had freshman Nate Andrews waiting in the wings to fill his shoes.
Half of the Seminoles NCAA leading 18 interceptions are by underclassmen in the secondary, a unit that has dominated no matter who has stepped on the field.
"It all comes from the head leader, coach [Jimbo] Fisher," senior defensive back Lamarcus Joyner said. "He has done a tremendous job in the past recruiting. In the past three or four years we've had top five, top 10 recruiting classes and he set a standard around here. That's the kind of guys we recruit."
"That's what I harp on," senior safety Terrence Brooks said. "I say guys you don't know who's going to go down and your'e going to be in the game so it's no use of complaining about playing time because when you're name's called we need you to be ready."
Part of the reason stems from the Seminoles mantra that the best player will play regardless of age, something the underclassmen have bought into from the beginning.
"That's the mentality that these guys have," Joyner said. "You see it in spring with the early enrollees, you see it in fall camp where guys are just competing. That gets the older guys better because you know that the best players are going to play so you have to do your job and help the younger guys get on your level."
What has also helped is the way the upperclassmen have been taking the young guys under their wings.
"Two things, the way they work and their ability to process information and the way the upperclassmen deal with them," head coach Jimbo Fisher said. "They've done it the whole year, they've done a tremendous job of incorporating those guys in into the system and really teaching them."
"To tell you the truth, they've really been listening," Brooks said. "They listen and watch the players who are out there already. They really take coaching well and they really buy into the tips we give them about the things we've been through already and the mistakes we've made. We just tell them that and they make sure they remember that and try to not make those mistakes."
Regardless of the reasons, the Seminole secondary continues to suffocate opposing defenses leaving fans to wonder, who's next on the list to make a game changing play.

Research Roundup: Prosperity Economics, Non-Existent Voter Fraud, and More
PSN on August 30, 2012 - 4:46pm
In this Research Roundup:
Prosperity Economics, an antidote to "austerity economics." Plus, recent reports from: the Annie E. Casey Foundation on key indicators of child well-being in each state, the Pew Charitable Trusts Economic Mobility Project on economic mobility across generations, the Strengthen Social Security coalition on how Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid work for each of the fifty states, People for the American Way on the "predatory privatization" of public services and assets, News21 on how the voter fraud that state voter suppression laws purport to address is "virtually non-existent," the National Education Association on how anti-union RTW laws increase poverty, the Center for American Progress on growing conservative attempts to politicize state court systems through legislation, Americans for Tax Fairness on the effect that extending the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2% would have state-by-state, and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities on how many weeks of unemployment compensation are available state-by-state.
Prosperity Economics: Building an Economy for All — This report by Professor Jacob Hacker and Nathaniel Loewentheil of Yale University provides "a comprehensive blueprint to grow our nation's economy, strengthen our economic security, and rescue our democracy from powerful special interests." The authors argue that "the only way to achieve sustainable, long‐term growth is to build an economy in which the benefits of growth are broadly shared," an approach they note contrasts sharply with the right-wing "austerity economics" of tax cuts for the rich and destructive budget slashing. Three "pillars" of prosperity economics are highlighted: innovation-led growth powered by immediate action to jumpstart the economy and investment to create good jobs and wages, security — for workers, their families, for the environment, and for the fiscal health of the country, and a democracy that is accountable and works for the people, not the powerful. Key recommendations include major investments in infrastructure, a college system that guarantees all qualified students the chance to graduate, empowering workers to engage in collective bargaining, strengthening Social Security, continuing to improve health coverage and lower medical costs, and stricter lobbying rules and public financing of elections. Organizations supporting the plan include AFL-CIO, Center for Community Change, Economic Policy Institute, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, National Council of La Raza, and SEIU.
2012 Kids Count Data Book: National and State-by-State Data on Key Indicators of Child Well-Being — This resource by The Annie E. Casey Foundation provides national and state-by-state data on key indicators of child well-being, including the percentages of children in poverty, whose parents lack good jobs, who are not in preschool, who are not proficient in reading and math, who lack health insurance, and who live in high-poverty areas. The report's research shows that over the past seven years, "children have seen gains in education and health, while there have been setbacks in their economic well-being." New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Vermont rank highest in "overall child well-being," while Nevada, New Mexico and Mississippi rank lowest. The report also notes that child poverty rates have risen in 43 of the 50 states — with changes ranging from 10 percent in New Hampshire to 33 percent in Mississippi.
Pursuing the American Dream: Economic Mobility Across Generations — A new report by the Pew Charitable Trusts Economic Mobility Project, Pursuing the American Dream looks at the economic mobility of Americans and concludes that "while a majority of Americans exceed their parents' family income and wealth, the extent of their absolute mobility gains is not always enough to move them up the economic ladder." Among the key findings based on recent data: while 84 percent of Americans have higher family incomes than their parents, over 40 percent of those who are raised in the bottom quintile of the family "income ladder" remain there as adults and 70 percent remain below the middle. According to the report, African Americans are also both more likely to be stuck at the bottom of the income ladder and to fall from the middle of the economic ladder across a generation.
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid Work for America: State Reports 2012 — This series of 50 state reports by the Strengthen Social Security coalition provides information about the history of the program and "compelling, real-life stories" that highlight state statistics on the number of recipients of benefits, the types of benefits they receive, and the total amount of funds going from these critical programs into every state.
Predatory Privatization: Exploiting Financial Hardship, Enriching the One Percent, Undermining Democracy — People for the American Way released this report looking at how, in many states who have recently seen budget crises and the rising influence of anti-government ideology among elected officials, the push to privatize public services and assets "often reduces the quality of services, burdens taxpayers and threatens democratic government." Stories of destructive predatory privatization noted in the report include those of the selling of public parking meter revenues, privatizing prisons, privatizing public education, and even turning over toll roads to private corporations.
Who Can Vote: Election Fraud in America — As state voter suppression laws requiring the possession of certain types of photo identification to exercise the constitutional right to vote spread across the nation, this database and report compiled by News21 (a Carnegie-Knight investigative reporting project) analyzed 2,068 reported cases of election fraud over the past dozen years and found precisely 10 cases of alleged in-person voter impersonation — the type of fraud that voter ID laws purportedly aim to prevent. With 37 state legislatures having enacted or considered voter suppression laws, the conclusion of the study — that in-person voter fraud on Election Day is "virtually non-existent" — should give supporters of such legislation pause. The authors note that "with 146 million registered voters in the United States [since 2000], those 10 cases represent one out of about every 15 million prospective voters." (That's 0.0000006%.)
Right-to-Work Laws Increase Poverty, Decrease Productivity — This analysis recently featured by the National Education Association takes a look at the real world effects of so-called "right-to-work" (RTW) laws in the 22 states where a version of the anti-worker law is on the books, versus the 28 worker-friendly states. Analyzing a "spectrum" of seven measures for standard of living (including GDP, poverty rates, life expectancy rates, and more), the study notes the data "clearly show the adverse consequences of RTW laws on people living in those states." Among other findings, the report notes that 11 of the 15 states with the highest poverty rates are RTW states, while nine of the 11 states with the lowest are worker-friendly.
The Conservative Takeover of State Judiciaries: Ballot Referendums to Watch — This Center for American Progress issue brief points to a growing effort in multiple states to politicize the judicial system by allowing governors to replace competent state judges — an effort primarily backed by conservatives. The authors note that lawmakers in 24 states have proposed such legislation in 2011 or 2012, with one result being increased pressure on judges "to lean conservative in their judicial outcomes." The brief summarizes current pushes for politicization of the courts in Missouri, Florida, and Arizona, suggesting that these efforts are a growing threat that will continue to spread through the states in 2014, 2016, and beyond.
Effects of Bush Tax Cuts in Your State — With the Bush tax cuts set to expire at the end of the calendar year, this collection of state-specific reports and press materials from Americans for Tax Fairness documents the cost, state-by-state, of continuing to give tax breaks to the richest 2%.
How Many Weeks of Unemployment Compensation Are Available? — This policy brief and accompanying map from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities shows the maximum number of weeks of unemployment insurance benefits currently available in each of the 50 states.

We're up to summer's half-way mark and the competition to find New Zealand's Best Beach is on.
The response has been fantastic. We know that Kiwis love their beaches and want to protect them but we didn't anticipate such incredible support. Thank you to all our voters and those who have signed up for our mailing list.
You might have watched the campaign launch on TV One at the end of 2012, spotted our 'Best beach' poster series on Facebook or Twitter:
…or heard locals from current runaway leader Kaiteriteri on NewsTalk ZB talking proudly about their current standing as the Best Beach in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The only complaint about our campaign so far is that every beach is special to someone in NZ; no one beach can possibly be the 'best'. We agree with this too – while no one wants an oil spill on their own beach, we don't want to see this happen anywhere along our coastline. New Zealand beaches all deserve protection against the risks of deep sea oil drilling.
Voters have until the end of February to decide which beach deserves top honours. Kaiteriteri is pretty special, we have to agree.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — TOWN OF TONAWANDA — It's been a rough couple weeks for Cardinal O'Hara's Leah McDonell.
The school's all-time leading scorer took a hard fall against Nichols on Jan. 23 and was forced to sit out a game. Then had to fight off a sickness the very next week and has struggled ever since.
But on Wednesday night, McDonell (Tonawanda) returned to form, scoring a game-high 21 points to lead O'Hara to a runaway, 87-30 win over St. Mary's on Senior night.
O'Hara coach Dan McDermott said the performance was a bit more "Leah-like."
"It couldn't have come on a better night," he said. "Tonight (on Senior night) was perfect timing for her to be the Leah we're used to seeing. To her credit she rose to the occasion. It was an emotional night for all of them and they all handled it well. She had one of her exceptional games tonight."
The Lady Hawks (23-0, 14-0 MMAA) outscored St. Mary's (3-17, 3-10 MMAA), 18-4 in the first quarter and spread out a 19-0 run over the first two frames to put the game out of reach before halftime.
Senior nights can be emotionally draining and Wednesday night was no different for O'Hara, but McDermott was pleased with the way his team handled its business.
"It's always a little disconcerting because emotions are so high on this type of evening," he said. "But the kids, to their credit, they handled it very well. They did what we needed to do and performed admirably."
All eight players recorded at least five points, and seniors Sara DiPasquale (8), Kayla Brown (5), Mary McDermott (5) and McDonell were all in the starting lineup.
The strength of the O'Hara team all season has been its ability to go eight-deep and get contributions from every member of the squad. Though eight isn't a very large number, McDermott knows what he is getting with every player and trusts each one to get the job done.
"It's been our slogan all year," he said. "The kids believe in each other and what we're doing. They enjoy playing with each other. No matter what five are out there they get it done. We have to change things up sometimes depending on who's out there but they always respond."
McDermott pulled all four seniors in the final minutes so they could get a hand from the home crowd, finishing with four players on the court for the final 80 seconds.
Juniors Kelsey McCarthy and Keyonte Edwards both finished with 16 points.
O'Hara has completed play in the Monsignor Martin portion of its schedule and will compete in the Lockport Kiwanis Tournament this weekend to wrap up the regular season.Contact sports editor Matt Parrino at 693-1000 ext. 4117 and find Tonawanda News sports on Twitter @tonanewssports.

CNN today gave great coverage to getting out the men's stories. Two of our courageous participants, Jack Williams and Brian Lewis are featured in the story available at the following link http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/21/us/military-suicide-rape/index.html
It is a great honor to announce that Justice Denied was hosted for its World Premiere at the Albuquerque Film and Media Experience in Albuquerque, New Mexico June 3rd through the 9th , 2013. Thank you for joining us. Watch for announcements of new festivals.
For Those of you who've been inquiring about when and where copies will be available, we have to wait until we hear back from some of the festivals. In the meantime, watch this site for an important announcement on how you can pre-order a copy.
In 2010, it's estimated that 19,000 women and men have been sexually assaulted in the Military. In FY 2012 It's estimated that number has climbed to 26000 while the rate of reporting the crime has dropped from 13.5% to just over 9%.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a press briefing immediately following the release of the Department of Defenses report to Congress for FY2012, "We're all outraged and disgusted over these very troubling allegations. Sexual assault is a despicable crime and one of the most serious challenges facing this department. It's a threat to the safety and the welfare of our people and the health, reputation and trust of this institution."
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently told a press conference, "It is an affront to the basic American values we defend and it is a stain on the good honor of the great majority of our troops and our families," Panetta said.
Even U.S. President Barack Obama has finally addressed the issue, this time demanding action. "The bottom line is: I have no tolerance for this." He said, 'I expect consequences. So I don't just want more speeches or awareness programs or training, but ultimately folks look the other way. If we find out somebody's engaging in this, they've got to be held accountable – prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged. Period."
And still there is resistance to removing the responsibility for investigating assault complaints from the direct chain of command WHICH IS WHY Representative Jackie Speier has reintroduced The Stop act as HR1593.
Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is not new.
Our fighting forces have been dealing with it since before the Country began. But now, victims are starting to speak out. Because of a few courageous individuals, the problem has become public. Military and ex Military women are beginning to get their voices. It's time for the men to have the same opportunities to tell their stories. And that's what this documentary is about, MST from the Male perspective.
Because of the military culture, victims still in the service don't feel safe enough to report incidents. Our goal with this film is to get Congress to change the laws, to put together a joint Civilian/Military commission who would be responsible for investigating all reports of sexual assault and taking appropriate action.
Award winning movie producer Michael L Miller will produce and direct. Geri Lynn Weinstein-Matthews, MSW, LICSW, is
Executive Producer/Producer/Co-Director/MST Advocate
PLEASE. Help these men tell their story. WATCH THE TRAILER.
All Supporters receive our heartfelt thanks plus the premiums being gifted to you at each level.

Katie MacBride, the 's young adult librarian, vividly remember her not-so-long-ago high school days.
So when she began organizing the library's first-ever , she did so with some trepidation about whether there were enough local young poets – and a wider audience that would come out and support them – to justify a major event at the library.
MacBride said her fears were allayed, loudly, in the form of more than 175 people filling the library's main reading room Friday evening to cheer, laugh and swoon over 14 young poets who poured their hearts out with original poems.
"I was amazed that we were able to get so many poets," MacBride said. "When I was in high school, I never would have been brave enough to read something I had written to an audience, much less perform it the way poets have to in slam. It was sort of incredible considering how nervous I was about anyone signing up. "
A dozen of the 14 participants were from , including winner Daron Austin and runner-up Chase Hansen. The competition was judged Marin County's first poet laureate Albert Flynn DeSilver, along with poetry teacher Terri Glass and science fiction writer Ayize Jama-Everett, who gave each poem an individual score between one and ten – frequently garnering cheers or boos from the raucous crowd.
In addition to Austin and Hansen, the participants included Tam students Mayana Bonaparte, Ania Boryslawska, Billy Butler, Connie Chong, Will Daly, Chelsey Meyer, Casey O'Brien, Tyler Parkerson, Meg Weisselberg and Hannah Yerington, along with Redwood High students Emmanuel Klev Xavier Blanchard-Kabat and Rayna Saro.
MacBride said that while the poets were the main attraction, it was the crowd that made the night possible.
"I had high expectations of the kids, but I wasn't necessarily sure how the audience would react," she said. "It was so exciting to see how engaged and supportive the audience was—and the poets even exceeded my high expectations."

Though Gov. Rick Perry has acknowledged the need to reform the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association ahead of a major storm, it is not one of the items being discussed in the second special session.
TWIA reform has been been on lawmaker's radar since the start of the regular session but they only got as close as holding a hearing on the current status of the program.
The San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is expanding its reach to the north of the city, where federal authorities say New Braunfels is now part of the San Antonio metro area.
Texas Matters: The battle over abortion hit a boiling point in Texas this week and it all started with a 13-hour filibuster attempt by Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth, which was cut short, continued with Sen. Leticia Van De Putte of San Antonio challenging the Republican (male) dominance of the floor, which finally pushed the room into a frenzy with one ruckus crowd of supporters. This did not sit well with the governor.
People across the political spectrum are critical of the immigration reform bill passed by the Senate this week. We examine how the Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act will impact immigration rights. Voting rights advocates are worried about the effects the high court's decision on part of the Voting Rights Act will have on minority voters. Finally, Native American veterans have had an especially difficult time navigating the federal claim system.
The San Antonio City Council took the oath of office in a swearing in ceremony inside the chambers of City Hall, preparing for what is ahead for the body over the next two years.
Mayor Julián Castro said the mission of the council is a double-edged sword because each member is looking out for the interests of their own district, but he told his colleagues they also have to do what's best for the city as a whole.
"The challenge that all of us face is to balance the everyday needs of our constituents with a long-term grand vision for our city's future," he said on the dais.
The San Antonio Conservation Society has elected Sue Ann Pemberton to be their new president for the next year, the first architect to serve as the organization's leader.
The San Antonio Conservation Society was founded in 1924 and is one of the oldest preservation groups in the country. Sue Ann Pemberton is its first president with professional experience in preservation in San Antonio and Texas.

Local doctors are concerned about cases of metal bristles getting stuck in people's intestines. The University Health System and the Methodist Hospital have teamed up to study the strange but growing problem.
The bristles come from those wire brushes used to clean the barbecue grill, and people sometimes ingest the tiny wires without knowing it.
Johnny Littrell of Floresville said it happened to him and the pain felt like an ice pick sticking into his abdomen.
"They did a CAT scan and said I had a piece of bone in my intestines," he said.
Cornyation, the annual spoof of San Antonio during Fiesta, generates money for AIDS- and HIV-based charities and this year more than $150,000 was returned to the community as a result of the three-night show.
Though the show is not necessarily exclusive to the gay community, HIV and AIDS issues tend to resonate within that group.

(UPDATED) Free-agent defensive lineman Alan Branch is visiting the Buffalo Bills today, coach Doug Marrone confirmed this morning.
Branch is a stout run-stuffer who started the past two seasons for the Seattle Seahawks. Adding him would help the Bills' efforts to play a 3-4 defensive front. The Bills have Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams returning as starters at defensive tackle.
In a 3-4 front, Mario Williams can play outside linebacker opposite newly acquired Manny Lawson. The next best down lineman on the roster is Alex Carrington, who served a backup defensive tackle role last season. Veteran Spencer Johnson saw the fourth most playing time at DT last season. He's 31, he's a free agent, and he's not expected to be back with the Bills. The Bills also have big Torell Troup coming back. He missed all last season after having back surgery.
Branch is a six-year veteran. He was a backup his first four years in Arizona. He's a 6-foot-6, 324-pounder who was a second-round pick of the Cardinals out of Michigan in 2007. His strength is run-stopping. He played about 55 percent of the snaps for the Seahawks the past two seasons. He was a bit more effective in 2011 than in 2012.
Branch's contract with Seattle paid him $3.5 million a year. The Bills had interest in Jets unrestricted free-agent down lineman Mike DeVito early in free agency but he was quickly signed by Kansas City.

Weirdo Detroit MC Danny Brown is still getting mileage out of his summer free release, XXX (as in his age, 30 - not porn), which exposed his hedonist streak and Pharoahe Monch-gone-bonkers voice to the indie rap masses. Just a couple of weeks after releasing the ASAP Rocky-directed video for XXX standout "Blunt After Blunt," he's premiering the visuals for its absurdist boast track, "Monopoly," here on Rolling Stone.
"It's really just a trippy, LSD-type of video. The director's concept was to get performance shots with old, vintage cameras," says Brown, who drives a dusty Ford pickup and briefly sports a blonde toupee over his well-known angular hairdo in the clip, directed by Ben Fries. Brown plays his own version of Monopoly, natch. It's an atypical rap video, but Brown is the first to admit that his fanbase isn't typical.
"Guys in my neighborhood don't listen to my music," says Brown. "They don't have computers. They're not on the Internet like that, you know? To them it's just Rick Ross and whatever goes on the radio." Not that he's complaining or anything. "I love it!" he adds. "I feel like a ninja or something, because I can still be on my porch drinking 40s. I'm still Daniel."

Apple adds a Tones store to iOS 5 iTunes app
With the release of iOS 5, Apple has added the ability to buy custom alert tones from the iTunes app on your device. If you open iTunes and click on Genres, you will see a new entry called Tones.
The iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch now includes the Tone Store — an incredible spectrum of music ringtones and alert tones that can be assigned to any alert setting on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
We already knew about Ringtones but these alerts are a completely new feature. Some of the Star Wars alerts are particularly impressive and comprehensive too. Alerts will cost $0.99 whilst Ringtones still cost $1.29. You can also access the Ringtones and Alerts directly from the Sounds tab within the settings app.
There are 14 comments. Add yours.
As in having the ability to change the email tones? now really shock me and tell me each email account can have its own tone!
.99 for a sound you can download ANYWHERE free from the internet? Come on. CASH GRAB.
but still... finally.
I'm not sure if I did this correctly, but it has been working. I basically turned the clips I used as tones on a Android device, into ringtones for the iPhone. So when I change my alert tones, the ones I added show up as available. Did a few text messages last night and it DID work. But I dont know if the tones are supposed to have a different extension altogether (m4r for example)
Why are you people grumbling, want to make own tone, save money - go ahead.
You are not forced to buy tones, this is simply Apple being customer friendly and giving folks a choice.
my custom ringtone disabled. Me no make new .m4r. Me no happy. Me apple fail. Best happy android!
thats great and all, but i want to be able to add my own message tones. not ones that apple sells me.
you can
well i wouldn't pay for a ringtone, but i know plenty of ppl who hv no idea how to make one, and would pay for one
I had to buy R2D2 and a quote from Anchorman just for giggles but from now on I'm making my own.
Ringtones for a$1.29? Cant I get a full song for like 99c?
Amazing the lengths of time and effort people will go to, to save a dollar.
Guess I need to get an iPhone now,,,
I"ve been making my own ring tones since iPhone 3G however I've not been able to make my own custom txt alerts. What's the trick for that? Different extension than m4r?
