Diner Reviews
Food was very good and service was
great. Very noisy when we were there."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Kona Grill has an interesting mix
of styles on its menu; there's bound to be something to please everyone. I had the potstickers and the crunch crab roll. The potstickers were very good; delicate and flavorful, the perfect appetizer. The crunch crab roll is good, but not necessarily outstanding. The service was top notch though, and it was the service what brought a good dining experience up to a very good one. "

My salad was excellent and so was
the sea bass. Our server was very nice, and I'll take a nice server, but inexperienced server over a rude one any day. However, I suggest that he could use a little more training. Most notably, he placed his hands on the table and sort of leaned on the table while he was talking with us. I think he was just a little nervous and inexperienced, but it was a little off-putting. However, he was just the right amount of "attentive" (not bothersome, and we didn't feel like we were wondering where he was). Also, my husband ordered the lobster/tuna flat bread as an entree (he asked if that was ok) - but it came as an appetizer. Also, he asked that the tuna be cooked through, but it came raw in the middle."

We've come here a few times; bar
snacks are good, but, dinner menu is less than stellar. It's ordinary food in a good atmosphere."
Dined on 5/24/2014
The only negative was that the
restaurant was out of salmon at 6:30 - this was the one dish I was certain one of my children would like...we made it work, but surprising to be out of salmon at 6:30...on Mother's Day."

I have been to Kona's before and
as always I was not disappointed. Good food, great place to take a date. "
Dined on 5/11/2014
Even though there was a GF menu we
were not certain about some foods and our waiter didn't really sense our concern. Family has Celiac disease, we are not fad dieters, so having a knowledgeable wait staff is essential. Also, the specialty sushi rolls were only average and the basic ones bland. We got seated right at the kitchen even though we had reservations and the place was 1/2 empty and it was LOUD. My family's first time there and they were not impressed. Sorry"
Dined on 5/11/2014
Impeccable service and food is
second to none!!!. It is always abandoned total treat to come here!"
Dined on 5/11/2014
The food is really great with
pricing make it easy to budget a meal or go all out! The kids menu has sushi as a choice, which my kids LOVED! And at $6 totally a place I'd bring the family back to again. Great atmosphere to look at but was loud ( they were packed and it has high ceilings). We look forward to coming again."
Dined on 5/10/2014
We go for the sushi. They have
other great food on the menu as well. They have a lot of different Sushi rolls on the menu, maybe 30 different kinds. We usually order two Sushi rolls at a time and share them. Four Sushi rolls is about all we need. They have good wine on the wine list just not a lot of choices."
Dined on 5/9/2014
I am sure that the
bartender/server thought that he was doing a great job, however he didn't give me the feeling that he wanted me sitting at his bar. Perhaps it was the busy Happy Hour crowd, or the GM observing bar operations, but I was never notified that there were Happy Hour drink and food specials while other patrons who came to the bar after me were. Unfortunately, it was after I had already ordered my food. I've been to the Kona in Baltimore and I've felt much better, however here I recieved my food...edible as it may have been...and nothing else. No warm and fuzzy here. "
Dined on 5/6/2014
A few girlfriends and myself went
to Kona Grill on Friday night. We had great food and wine. We shared the potstickers for an appetizer which were delicious. The place was packed but service was still great. We all enjoyed our dinner as well. Kong Grill has a great happy hour (food and drink specials) but it is only allowed in the bar area which we did not sit at. We definitely will return (hopefully for happy hour next time)!"
Dined on 4/25/2014
The menu had items that were
different. Soft shell sliders>... VERY Good. The sushi was just soso But would go back again. not just a burger and fry joint Very good "
Dined on 4/25/2014
Had a wonderful first experience!
Will definitely return myself & recommended to others!! "

Everything was great! The service
was awesome. We were celebrating my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Everyone had an awesome time!!!!"
Dined on 4/12/2014
always go here for a special
occasion. Great menu and amazing food. Great specialty drinks."
Dined on 3/21/2014
Kona Grill is a fairly expensive
but always delicious dining experience. I have been 5 times in the last year for various special occasions and with the exception of my most recent trip it was an excellent experience. Like any restaurant server quality can vary which led to a sub par experience in my last visit."
Dined on 3/2/2014
The only complaint I have is that
Happy Hour is not offered to anyone seated in the dining room and that would cause me to go elsewhere during that time of the day. We had a party of 10 and it wouldn't have been easy to change tables. This is unfair to the dining room patrons. We spent a lot of money and should have been afforded the same specials no matter where seated."
Dined on 2/27/2014
Kona grill has an awesome
delicious menu......hard to choose so must return. The Pad Thai was wonderful and I had a chile lime shrimp salad with macadamia nuts terrific.........one had the pork sliders with sweet potato fries and loved that too..........we all shared the shrimp/chicken lettuce wraps and are really good ENJOY the décor and food; great place to eat and free parking garage behind if the lot is full YOU SHOULD GO..........Glen Allen/Short Pump area"
Dined on 2/25/2014
My husband & I had lunch with his
parents & sister. It was delicious! No one had any complaints and our server was very knowledgable and gave great recommendations and we ordered his suggestions and were very happy with the selections. Seafood ceviche was over the top! Please make it permanent to your menu."
Dined on 2/21/2014
We really loved it ....the only
thing I would have liked is to have known the prices when our server announced them yo us...otherwise I'm sure well be back."
Dined on 2/20/2014
My girlfriend and I had a great
time. Great server, and great food! Definitely will be back. :)"
Dined on 2/15/2014
Liked the restaurant very much.
Will definitely go there again."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Very nice restaurant with
excellent food. Very impressed. Went on a busy night, and it was very noisy! Actual pain on the eardrums. Told the hostess, and we were reseated in the dining room. Much better, though still loud. Service was so-so, but the waitress was pleasant and eager to please. Pick a night other than Valentine's Day or Friday (unless you like the noise), and you will probably enjoy yourself very much. Sea bass and pork tenderloin are recommended."
Dined on 2/14/2014
I decided to spend Valentine's Day
with my special someone and the overall experience was great!!! It was my first time and I glad I made reservations because like expected this place was packed. Now the menu had a variety of items which is good. I tried sushi for the first time and I have to say it was not bad at all. Afterwards I tried one of there recommened dishes which was the Sea Bass and oh man was it good. This dish was big enough to split and at a price of 25 bucks thats a good look. Now don't ask me why but I've been on a get dessert just for the heck of it kick lately so I did and once again I was amazed. My date and I was intimidated by the size of this dessert which probably sounds crazy but hey see for yourself."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Great place, terrific happy hour
prices. Manager checked on us twice, the waitress was outstanding, all in all a great evening. ATTENTION OPEN DINRR WEB SITE.... DONT EMAIL PEOPLE AT 217 AM, MANY OF US ACTUALLY SLEEP THEN AND DONT SHUT OFF OIR SMART PHONES SO U R EMAIL WAKES US UP..... THANK You.. Just a thought"
Dined on 2/14/2014
First time here but I had been to
the one in Dallas. The sushi seemed off but the butter cake was still amazing."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Our server was incredible. He made
several recommendations and they were all spot on. There was no wait time on any request and his demeanor was casual but professional. The sushi selection was great and the food was wonderful!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
We went out for dinner with our
seven month old and company. They were very accommodating and friendly. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and extremely friendly. The manager came over to check on us to be sure everything was ok. We had various sushi items...delicious! I would recommend the yomada roll. Our friend had the shrimp pad Thai which was also good. We will definitely return often."
Dined on 2/6/2014
OK, so made reservations. I
figured they'd be waiting for a LARGE crowd. Nope, our waitress was ridiculous. So we got another then it was pleasant from there. LOVE KONA!"
Dined on 2/1/2014
Try the Chili-Lime Shrimp Salad.
600 calories for a very large and tasty dish. Things were slow the day we were there. The service was very attentive, with three drink refills while I had a long visit with friends."
Dined on 1/29/2014
Great find through Open Table
reviews. restaurant was busy. Great selection of wines. I chose a Malbec. Miso soup and salads were our starters with sushi. The east and West fusions were outstanding. Will be back"
Dined on 1/28/2014
We enjoyed our lunch and would
definitely go back again. The food was well prepared and definitely very beautifully arranged on the plate. Kudos to the chefs."
Dined on 1/26/2014
Food and service was great. Noted
on reservation that this was a birthday celebration for 2 people in our party. As a special touch, it would have been nice if server/greeter acknowledged that. PF Changs did acknowledge and even gave free dessert for birthday celebrant when I made Open Table reservation at to PF Changs..."
Dined on 1/25/2014
Enjoyed a delicious lunch on a
Saturday afternoon with my husband. Had a birthday coupon so we decided to use it. Food is delicious, high quality and well worth the visit. Sushi sampler is a favorite entree. Service was excellent. Manager came by to ask if we were satisfied (which we were) and that added an extra special touch to the experience. Highly recommend:) We will be returning."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Kona Grill is a fantastic
restaurant. They have fabulous food and their waitstaff is friendly and courteous. I love their Miso Sake Sea Bass. It is always perfection. My husband loves their sushi. Try the spicy mayo on the side. You won't regret it. We have made a tradition of eating there on New Years Eve. The energy is fun without being too loud. They play great music. Worth a trip into Short Pump."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Had a lovely time and great food
to usher in 2014!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Other than it being a little noisy
for my taste, everything was excellent. Alana was our server, and she was outstanding in her friendly demeanor and the timing of her service. My sister and I both chose the Sea Bass, and it was an excellent dish. We splurged by getting dessert (not normal for us), and the Butter Cake was indescribable!!! It was not our first visit to Kona Grill, but we will be back again!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Nice menu with lots of options.
Sushi was good service was right on and the bar is big enough with plenty of seating. Good time"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Tasty with a broad selection. The
fish was very well seasoned but a few minutes overlooked. The chicken was similarly overdone and possibly reheated). The appetizer, various noodle dishes and desserts were great."

By now, the case for EMRs is obvious. But as patients move through different departments, facilities, and health-related events, not all of their information will post to the same system, or even originate in electronic form. Physician orders, pharmacy orders, verbal orders, work-lists, insurance requests, along with a host of other data exchanges, often still require physical documentation.
Until now.
Hospitals and facilities looking to improve scheduling, registration, and accuracy for all pre-encounter activities will find that HealthWare Systems' patented ActiveXCHANGE (formerly ActiveFAX) eliminates the need for printouts, paper copies, handwritten logs, follow-up requests, and the manual administration of so many incoming or outgoing records.
What is ActiveXCHANGE?
ActiveXCHANGE is the newly renamed iteration of ActiveFAX, a comprehensive indexing solution and paperless workflow for all forms of unstructured patient information—including physician orders, third-party test results, care plans, protocols, pre-surgical documentation, and more. ActiveXCHANGE features all the benefits of the ActiveFAX solution, plus exciting new capabilities from our 4.0 redesign that go beyond fax-based transmissions.
What are the benefits of ActiveXCHANGE?
Simply put, ActiveXCHANGE makes it easy to send, receive, search, track, trend, report, and manage patient records electronically. The solution provides:
Why the switch?
The new product name—from ActiveFAX to ActiveXCHANGE—reflects the full breadth of this robust document management solution. Sending, receiving, and managing faxed documents are major product features, but ActiveXCHANGE also facilitates communication across a variety of platforms and services. ActiveXCHANGE can serve as a single repository of patient data regardless of source, allowing facilities to send and receive financial and clinical documentation from EMRs and practice management solutions without having to print and scan.

If there is any worry that Bibb County voters might not show up for Tuesdays Macon-Bibb County runoff election, they should be partly assuaged by the fact that more people turned out for six days of early voting this month than they did during 16 days of early voting leading up to the Sept. 17 election.
The Bibb County Board of Elections reported Monday that 9,937 advance and absentee voters cast ballots last week, up from the 9,760 early votes from the Sept. 17 election. Absentee ballots will be accepted until 7 p.m. Tuesday.
While the numbers dont indicate which candidates are benefiting from the bump, they could help both mayoral candidates.
Macon Mayor Robert Reichert said his biggest worry is voter overconfidence and apathy of his supporters who might think his 7,000-vote advantage last month over his opponent, former Mayor C. Jack Ellis, would make Reichert a lock to win.
Reichert said he feels confident his supporters know the importance of their votes.
Were excited, he said. This is the culmination of a years worth of work. I hope everybody turns out to vote so the voice of the community can be heard. I feel energized because Ive talked to so many people, and they know how important it is to go vote. Its one thing to be for me, and another to vote for me. I appreciate the former, but I need the latter.
Ellis said he thinks he can pick up more votes to close the gap by getting more people to the polls and picking up support among the voters whose candidates lost Sept. 17, such as Bibb County Chairman Sam Hart, who finished third in the mayors race.
Im not tired, Ellis said. Im excited at the possibilities and for the future of the city and for our victory (Tuesday) night. ... (The higher voter turnout is) a good sign. Weve worked hard to get people out to the polls.
Reichert has maintained a huge financial advantage over Ellis, according to the candidates disclosure forms turned in to the state Friday. Reichert raised $425,937 and spent $393,471 to get his message out to voters. By contrast, Ellis raised $84,125 and spent $76,712.
The other runoff races Tuesday consist of Macon Councilmen Henry Ficklin and Larry Schlesinger for the District 2 Commission seat; Mallory Jones III and Councilwoman Beverly Olson for the District 4 seat; Councilman Ed DeFore and Adah Roberts for the District 6 seat; and Councilmen Charles Jones and Virgil Watkins for the District 8 seat.
Turnout could be key
Chris Grant, a political science professor at Mercer University, said he thinks a high percentage of the 36,065 voters from Sept. 17 will return to the polls. When Reichert defeated Ellis in the 2011 mayoral runoff by about 500 votes, more voters showed up for the runoff than they did for the Democratic primary that year.
The general trend is that (fewer) people vote in a runoff, but this mayoral race (is distinctive because) people are motivated for or against a candidate, Grant said.
Grant added that Ellis especially has been something of a polarizing figure in Macon politics: He inspires a lot of loyalty among his supporters but also a lot of motivation for people who dislike him to go to the polls. Grant said Ellis will need a lot of things to break his way if he has any chance of overcoming the 7,000-vote difference from last months election.
He needs people to change their minds or a sizable number who didnt show up the first time (to vote), Grant said. Hes talked a lot about low voter turnout.
While Grant said that overconfidence and apathy is a legitimate concern for the Reichert camp, he thinks voters are unusually motivated for or against the candidates and will show up at the polls.
Grant said most voters probably already have made up their minds in the mayors race, with few votes likely to swing to the other candidate. But he thinks the commission seats might be more up for grabs.
The most interesting race, he said, is likely in District 2. Grant said he lives in the district and noted he has received plenty of fliers and robocalls from Schlesinger over the past week or so, but he has heard nothing from the Ficklin campaign.
Schlesinger has certainly out-organized Ficklin, he said. Schlesinger has left no stone unturned (for votes).
In District 4, Grant said Mallory Jones had a better organized campaign than Olson, who would need to improve significantly to overcome the 800-vote deficit she faced in the Sept. 17 race.
However, third-place finisher Theron Ussery, who tallied 1,028 votes in September, endorsed Olson.
Grant said DeFore, who has served 42 years on the City Council, may have too much name recognition for Roberts to overcome. He held a 2-to-1 vote advantage in the Sept. 17 race.
The District 8 race is the toughest to predict, Grant said. Watkins held a narrow 75-vote advantage over Charles Jones, but third-place finisher Regina Davis, who received 597 votes, endorsed Jones. Grant noted that Jones has been campaigning intensely in the month between the special election and runoff.
While just 44 percent of the countys 81,348 registered voters turned out for the special election, Grant said thats a better turnout than in many other counties in Georgia.
I actually thought the turnout was pretty good, he said.

Deacons Hold Off Pesky Seahawks, 87-78
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 12/21/2011
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina - All five starters reached double figures and Wake Forest scored 12 unanswered points down the stretch to break away from pesky UNCW, 87-78, as both teams tied the bows on their pre-Christmas schedules Wednesday night at Lawrence Joel Memorial Coliseum.
The Demon Deacons improved to 8-4 in Jeff Bzdelik's second season in Winston. Wake also won for the 13th time in 14 meetings with the Seahawks since the series began on Nov. 26, 1977.
The Seahawks dipped to 3-7, but have played seven of their first 10 games away from Wilmington. Buzz Peterson's club doesn't return to the hardwood until Dec. 30 when Furman visits Trask Coliseum for the first time.
Junior guard C.J. Harris paced the Demon Deacons with 23 points. Sophomore guard Tony Chennault added15 points, senior forward Nikita Mescheriakov scored 13, sophomore forward Travis McKie chipped in 11 and sophomore center Carson Desrosiers had 10 for Wake.
The loss overshadowed an offensive explosion by freshman guard Adam Smith of UNCW. The Jonesboro, Ga., rookie set a UNCW freshman scoring record with 32 points, including 27 after intermission. The total eclipsed a 30-point effort by all-time great Brett Blizzard on Nov. 27, 1999, against Campbell in Fayetteville.
Junior forward Keith Rendleman registered his fifth double double of the season and the 11th of his career with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
"I didn't feel like we came out with the energy we needed," said second-year UNCW coach Buzz Peterson. "You have to give Wake credit. We had a hard time stopping C.J. Harris. He got to the line and made his free throws."
Wake won its fourth straight over UNCW at the 14,465-seat arena by jumping out to a workable margin and rallying past the Seahawks down the stretch. The Demon Deacons avenged an 81-69 loss to the Seahawks last December at the Greensboro Coliseum.
After carving out a 36-27 halftime advantage, the Demon Deacons increased the lead to 42-31 with 16:39 left on a pair of free throws by Chennault. UNCW, behind Smith's long range bombing, then made its move.
A Rendleman layup jumpstarted a 17-2 run that included three long treys by Smith, who went 10-for-18 in the second half, including 6-for-10 from deep. When it was over, Smith's third triple gave the Seahawks a 44-44 lead at 13:18.
"I saw it in his eyes," Peterson said of Smith's spurt. "He got two fouls in the first half and we had to sit him so we could use him in the second half.
Wake then cranked up the defensive pressure and made a steady procession to the free throw line to pull out the win. UNCW still led, 58-54, with nine minutes remaining, but the Deacons went on a 12-0 run to gain enough breathing room down the stretch.
Wake outscored UNCW, 33-14, at the free throw line, converting 33-of-43 attempts and 20-of-25 in the second half. The Seahawks made 14-of-19 at the charity stripe.
In the first half, UNCW started quickly and led, 7-3, when Adam Smith drained a jumper on the left wing just three minutes into the contest.
Wake answered to take control, reeling off 11 straight points, and Desrosiers connected on a jumper on the right side to give the Deacons a 14-7 advantage at 14:16 of the opening period. WFU pushed the margin to 10 points, 22-12, before UNCW chopped the deficit to 22-18 with a 6-0 mini-run.
The Seahawks closed to 29-25 on Rendleman's putback at 423, but the Deacons outscored the Seahawks, 7-2, the rest of the half and took a 36-27 cushion into the break behind 13 points from Harris and 10 from Mescheriakov.
The Seahawks break for the Christmas holiday and gets back to action in late December against the Paladins. The Demon Deacons
GAME NOTES: The game was the first meeting at LJVM since #21 Wake's 122-88 pounding of UNCW on Nov. 19, 2008...UNCW now stands 2-32 against ACC opponents through the years...Coupled with a season-opening loss at Maryland, the Seahawks went 0-2 vs. the ACC this season...Buzz Peterson now stands 1-1 against Wake...UNCW is 1-2 against North Carolina opponents this year...The Seahawks have played the Demon Deacons more than any other ACC foe...Wake's Harris sank 9-of-10 free throws in the first half...Former New Hanover High School star Ty Walker played 11 minutes and did not score for Wake...WFU won the battle of the boards, 37-35...Coach Peterson started four freshmen (Jackson, Simmons, Smith and Williams) and Rendleman.

The smell of meals being prepared at the school district offices was a weekly phenomenon.
Crystal De La Torre and a group of Campbell Union School District employees would take turns cooking a meal for the group to enjoy. Last Wednesday, she invited Superintendent Dr. Eric Andrew to join them.
"I missed last Wednesday's lunch," Andrew says. "I asked Crystal, 'Where's the food,' and she told me 'You snooze, you lose but you may want to stop in next Wednesday.' That was the last time I spoke with her."
De La Torre, of who lived most recently in Milpitas after moving from Gilroy, was driving south on U.S. Highway 101 Saturday when her Honda Civic veered off the roadway near Sixth Street at about 4:15 a.m., killing her, according to the CHP.
Today was to be De La Torre's first day in her new position as Secretary in the Special Education Dept. Instead, school district employees gathered together to sit and talk and grieve over her loss, Andrew says.
"We wanted to acknowledge the death but also the wonderful things she did," he says.
Andrew first met De La Torre when he first came to the district in 2010. His first impressions of her still ring true in his mind.
"She was a shining light of happiness," Andrew says. "You could tell she loved life."
She was a hardworking employee, always staying late, but not without a smile, he said.
"She was a great young lady," Andrew says. "She was hardworking yet jovial, quick-witted and well liked by everyone and this was evident and infectious when you were around her. She was like my work daughter."
Mary Lou Danz, secretary to the superintendent had worked with De La Torre for five years.
"We are a small district and very close-knit," Danz says. "She was like a daughter to me."
Danz says that when she first met De La Torre in 2008, the "stunningly beautiful young girl" left an impression on her.
"She was very inspiring," Danz says. "She had the best sense of humor, the best laugh. She could touch your heart."
Danz says she would watch De La Torre work with parents calling in, listening to both sides with empathy.
"She was very giving of herself," she says.
According to Danz, De La Torre had recently secured a new apartment closer to the district offices and was continuing her education.
"She had everything going for her," Danz says. "We are definitely going to miss her."
The school district is currently in the process of deciding in what way it will memorialize De La Torre. In the past, this has been done with a planting on the school district's campus or with a plaque.
"It needs to be a good representation to remember the person she was," Andrew says, "something that epitomizes her spirit."
For now, the district will remember De La Torre's smile and her impact on the lives she touched.
"She was a beautiful person—inside and out," says Marla Sanchez, district spokeswoman. "We are tremendously saddened about losing her, but tremendously grateful for having known her."

Dear Editor:
This letter was sent to Nicolas Storelli-Castro, Director of Governmental Relations.
Thank you for your response of Feb. 5, 2013. Your enclosure certainly details what is expected of the ERCSD Board. as far as their fiscal obligations are concerned.
The bigger concern, which has not been addressed, is the total lack of interest by the Board for the education of the students in the district. You must be aware that shortly all 9 members of the Board will be Orthodox and Ultra-religious. Not one of the Board members has a single relative in the East Ramapo School system. The Board has eviscerated the entire school district. Money and books have been dispersed with dubious permission. Schools have been closed and "sold" to religious groups at highly questionable prices. If all of this is not thievery then I don't know what is.
When a Board President stands in front of the parents and residents and states "If you don't like it, LEAVE!" the frustration reaches a near boiling point. It is becoming more and more obvious to the residents that no one cares about them. The religious constituency is catered to and the voting bloc mentality is well known. The voting irregularities that took place when school board elections were held are well known if not proven. People voted who did not live in Rockland. Some people voted more than once. Buses brought women from different areas to vote. "Poll-watchers" directed legitimate residents to "other" locations where they were misdirected again and finally gave up interest.
The situation is a disgrace and no one seems to care other than the parents of the kids who are being shortchanged. How can you tolerate a school board that has NO concern for the students it oversees? It is criminal. Something must be done. Sometime in the future this entire debacle will be exposed and fingers will be pointed at the people who could have done something, but did nothing.

Tauranga Police Officer in serious condition after being struck by a beer keg
A Tauranga policewoman was in a serious condition in intensive care last night after suffering multiple fractures in a weekend attack by drunken, brawling partygoers.
The policewoman was struck by what police call a "heavy metal object" which some partygoers believe was a beer keg and had to be carried away, unconscious and bleeding.
She was one of five police officers injured when revellers at a double 21st birthday party in the Tauranga suburb of Welcome Bay attacked police who had been called in to break up a fight about 12.20am yesterday. The other four officers had injuries ranging from suspected fractured ribs and bites to cuts and grazes.
The policewoman's skull, nose and shoulder were fractured when she was hit on the head by a partygoer wielding a heavy metal object, Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Turner said.
The policewoman had regained consciousness last night and was in a serious but stable condition in intensive care at Tauranga Hospital. "I'm encouraged by the progress she's making, but it will be a long, slow road to recovery," he said.
Officers had been subjected to a "prolonged attack" with metal objects, bottles and pint glasses, he said.
All available police in the area about 35 officers were called. But even with the numbers, it took about 30 minutes to control the crowd.
Some witnesses have accused police of making the situation worse with heavy-handed use of batons, dogs and pepper spray.
Neighbour Daryl Harlan said the party had been fine till people from outside the area arrived.
Partygoer Manaaki Kahotea, 17, said people were "amped up" after a fight broke out and got worse when police arrived. The policewoman was hit by a big man wielding something metallic that looked like a beer keg.
"It was like she went to sleep. She just dropped."
He thought police were too aggressive. "They were smashing people for no reason. If we would not go away they would grab those black batons and smack you in the legs or chest."
A Tauranga man, 27, will appear in Tauranga District Court today charged with assaulting the policewoman. Further serious charges are expected. Another six men will appear on charges including injuring with intent, rioting and obstruction.

'Too aggressive?' Someone comes at me with a beer keg, they are going to meet up with the business end of a 1911.
Sounds to me that the cops showed great restraint.

Springfield, Mass. - October 19, 2011 - The Springfield College men's soccer team surrendered a goal in the 84th minute as it lost a hard-fought 1-0 non-conference contest with Brandeis on a rainy Wednesday night at Brock-Affleck Field.
The win boosts the Judges record to 9-4-1, while the Pride lost its second-straight contest to drop to 8-3-3.
For the contest, Brandeis held a 13-5 advantage in shots, including a 7-2 edge in the decisive second half. The Judges also took 11 corner kicks to the Pride's three.
Despite being outshot 6-3 in the opening 45 minutes of play, Springfield put forth the game's most promising chance in the first half.
Springfield appeared to take the lead 2:18 into the game, but it had the goal called back due to offsides. Ryan Malone and Drew Vanasse factored in on the bid as Malone's free kick from beyond midfield was flicked home by Vanasse inside the six yard box after he rose up above a crowd of defenders. However, both the linesman and head referee met and decided to call the goal back.
Tyler Savonen produced the visitors top scoring chance of the opening half at the 37:46 mark. Savonen ripped a full-volley attempt from 18 yards following a failed Springfield clear that was snuffed out by Springfield keeper Brett Bascom.
Brandeis' constant second half pressure paid off with the game's first goal in the 84th minute. Sam Ocel carried the ball down the right flank to the endline before sending a skipping cross through the six yard box. Lee Russo was wide open on the back post and knocked home his shot into the back of the net.
Bascom totaled two saves in the loss, while Blakek Minchoff didn't need to make a stop to earn the shutout win.
Up next for Springfield is their final New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) match of the year, at WPI on Saturday beginning at 1:30 pm.

Women in combat: An idea whose time has come, aided by technology
- By Megan Garber
- The Atlantic
- January 25, 2013
- Leave a comment
"Women," Time magazine wrote last year, "are not small men."
This is ... true. And yet for a long time, the military -- an organization that operates under the core auspices of pragmatic conformity -- sort of ignored its truth. Martial technologies -- uniforms, weapons, vehicles -- have tended to be one-size-fits-all, or at least one-size-fits-dudes. Guns are huge and heavy. Packs the same. Body armor is long and narrow, designed for a guy's long-and-narrow frame. And with good reason, of course: It is both unsurprising and quite practical that an institution headed mostly by men, populated mostly by men, would take a male-centered approach to its equipment. Tall, heavy, narrow, straight: the tools, for the most part, matched the humans who were using them.
That has been changing, however -- and changing long before this week. The Pentagon'sdecision to end its ban on women-in-combat -- a change announced, formally, this afternoon -- is simply a decision whose time, in many, many ways, has come. But it is also, importantly, a decision that technological advances have made easier: more sensible, more practical, more impermeable to objection. While some will still make social and cultural arguments against women serving on the front lines -- most of which will boil down to the idea that it's hard for "bands of brothers" to coalesce when sisters are part of the equation -- many other objections are now, or will soon be, preempted.

Swedish designer brand LELO heralds the success of SELF, a multimedia theater production staged in Shanghai, China that is driving wide-spread debate on how human connections can thrive in a world overtaken with technology.
Stockholm/Shanghai (PRWEB) July 02, 2014
Swedish designer brand LELO heralds the success of SELF, a multimedia theater production staged in Shanghai, China that is driving wide-spread debate on how human connections can thrive in a world overtaken with technology.
The brainchild of Australian/South African director Michael Beets and sponsored by LELO, SELF marks the first ever transmedia production to stage in the Peoples Republic, where audience-members were uniquely required to use their own smartphones during the play as part of the performance itself.
Since the last showing earlier this month, SELF has prompted strong reactions from Chinese netizens and audience members in a country that officially stands as the worlds most active social media base:
LELOs endorsement comes as part of their UnDesign Award 2014, which challenges creatives to explore new ways of building connections in all their forms. The concept is further explained in a video-interview with Michael Beets that is being shared by LELO as inspiration for UnDesign Award entrants, with this further fuelling discussion on the role it plays in Chinese society today.
Described by the director himself, SELF is a one-woman show about trust, friendship and betrayal on an online platform called Social. It is the first ever smartphone-complemented theater presentation to ever take place in China, with audience members devices playing an integral part in the story.
After downloading an app specially made for the production, the viewers device becomes a supporting actor in the play by streaming video, images and audio that the female lead interacts with on stage.
Of the theater production and its connection to LELOs UnDesign Award, LELO Global Marketing Manager Steve Thomson said; By using media and technology not as a distraction, but as a means to add a whole new level of depth, Michaels play SELF encapsulates the inspiration behind the 2014 LELO UnDesign Awards, which seeks to embolden connections between individuals with technology as a tool and not a barrier.
Director of SELF Michael Beets said; SELF is a theater production that challenges people to rethink their connections with people. It was also a fascinating creative experiment, and the fact so many people are talking about it, whether good or bad, is the most satisfying aspect of all. Its an honor to see SELF promoted as part of the 2014 UnDesign Awards, and I am looking forward to seeing how creatives worldwide propose to bring people together in similarly non-traditional ways.
Entry to the LELO UnDesign Award is open until August 1st 2014, while everyone is free to sign up as a judge via http://www.lelo.com/award.
Note to Editors: All media inquiries can be directed to pr(at)lelo(dot)com
LELO is the world's leading designer brand for intimate lifestyle products. On launching in 2003, LELO transformed the look, feel and function of how personal massagers were perceived, and now applies the same commitment to quality and innovation through bedroom accessories, soy massage candles and a premium line of silk intimate apparel. LELOi AB is the Swedish company behind LELO, where offices extend from Stockholm to San Jose, from Sydney to Shanghai.

The Best Tools for Risk and Audit Practitioners
Norman Marks, CRMA, CPA, is a vice president for SAP and has been a chief audit executive and chief risk officer at major global corporations for more than 20 years.
Almost everybody has excellent tools for risk monitoring and internal auditing, but as with any software solution it is necessary to learn how to use them well. These tools don't come with a user manual.
They are not sold by Microsoft, SAP, or Oracle.
No, they are built in capabilities:
- Our eyes
- Our ears
- The spaces in between
I can walk into a warehouse and by being alert to signs of neglect and poor operations I can quickly identify likely risk and control issues. I may see boxes scattered around between instead of in storage racks, or layers of dust on inventory (OK, I may have to use another tool — my fingers — to measure the dust), or employees that appear either to have too much or too little work. I can see posted operational metrics, and by checking the dates of the last entries and reading notes of the last team meeting see whether they are being maintained and discussed.
I can listen to employees and management talk — about their operational problems, their feelings about the company and their managers, and their working conditions.
The space between the ears and eyes has to be trained but then has extraordinary capabilities for analyzing and interpreting what you see and hear.
Use these tools, and use them all the time. Nobody says you can only use them when you have an "official" audit or risk assessment in progress. If you see, hear, and understand there to be an issue, take action now. It may be necessary to start an official engagement to perform additional testing, assessment, etc. But, usually that will just confirm what your brain has already concluded.
Keep these tools finely honed and trained. They can be wonderful, as long as you don't let that other "capability" (your mouth) get in the way — when all you hear is the sound of your own voice.

JConcepts landed in Southern California for the Reedy Race of Champions with a fresh assortment of accessory releases while also being an honored partner for the control tire agreement for the prestigious event. JConcepts drivers were out in full force in both the invitational and open classes and the competition was intense all weekend. JConcepts drivers Ryan Maifield, Dustin Evans, Jorn Neumann and Steven Hartson battled for the top positions and podium in the Invitational class while JConcepts drivers stacked a highly competitive field in the open classes.
A highly successful weekend ended with JConcepts products winning in the Invitational class, 2wd open class and the Junior Final. Finnisher bodies, Hi-Clearance wings and a hand-full of unique accessories topped off the winning vehicles. JConcepts direct drivers, Dustin Evans, Jorn Neumann and Ryan Maifield finished an incredible 2nd, 3rd and 5th place respectively in the invitational class capping off an amazing 3 out of the top 5 drivers. Daimon Borkowicz led a 1st and 3rd place finish in the Junior final for JConcepts as teammate Tommy Hinz joined Daimon on the podium, a young dynamic duo from Florida and Arizona.
JConcepts video product introduction
Neobuggy product release video
Fin style Titanium turnbuckle sets
JConcepts first entry into the world of Titanium products comes with a luscious design built directly for strength, performance and style. The style is named after the fin looking appearance of the hefty center adjustment hex. The turnbuckles come standard in the machined, high-grade titanium with a 3mm thread base on each end. Left-hand thread has been conveniently marked so the user can easily orientate the turnbuckles to their individual liking. The Fin turnbuckles will first be released for the B4, B44 and T4 / SC10 line of Team Associated vehicles. Other makes and models are in the works for release later in the year.
#0133 - 7" Hi-Clearance wing
The most popular wing for 1/10th off-road buggies has to be the 6.5" Hi-Clearance wing by JConcepts. Introduced during the 2011 IFMAR World Championships in Vaasa, Finland, the Hi-Clearance has shown incredible performance on all sort of circuits while fitting nicely on a vast number of 1/10th buggies. For 2013, JConcepts has brought a 7" wide version to the development table and introduced it to competition during the Reedy Race of Champions. A slightly wider base gives the wing a larger surface area which allows more stability during low and high speeds which provide some much needed grip in tricky situations. The Hi-Clearance sections near the end plates still allow maximum suspension compression and tire expansion.

Back in 2005 JConcepts introduced a handy accessory to any tire gluer, the tire gluing rubber bands. For 2013, JConcepts has reinvented this product with a uniquely molded version of the tire rubber band with high elasticity capable of stretching on to a full assortment of different sized tires. A nice array of handles are designed to ergonomically conform to your fingers so the user and finely adjust the rubber band to the sidewall of each tire to apply the pressure where it is needed. The Satellite rubber bands will be available in blue and black colors and will include 4 bands per package.
JConcepts striker chassis protective film
A racers ability to decorate and protect the bottom of their chassis has been made easier with the addition of pre-cut chassis protective sheets from JConcepts. With blank, clear sheets already available from JConcepts racers have been able to protect their chassis for quite some time but the introduction of pre-cut and graphically pleasing sheets takes the cutting work out of the equation and allows the driver to spend their time on the drivers stand and instead of the pit area.

Nebraska offensive lineman Mike Smith is out for the season with a broken leg. It's not the end of the world but the Husker offense needs all the help and depth they can get. Someone is to blame...
While everyone tried to avoid talking about Nebraska's move to the Big 10 conference, Husker fans should take heed of Head Coach Bo Pelini's comments about the offensive line.
A look at Nebraska's offensive line for 2010 spring practice and fall season. The line should be much improved due to increased depth and the addition of a few key players.
Tom Shatel does a decent interview of Shawn Watson in the Omaha World Herald, but there's not really anything we didn't already know. Still, you can't help but think the 2010 Nebraska offense will...
Regarding the insanity of the Winter Olympics, a huge man named "Yoshi" and whether or not Nebraska is recruiting players that have good character.

The Wheatsheaf plaque marks link with a hero
9:00am Thursday 15th November 2012 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
THE connection between a Basingstoke pub and the D-Day landings is there for all to see following a special plaque unveiling.
Remembrance Sunday was a fitting date for members of Basingstoke Heritage Society to unveil a plaque at The Wheatsheaf, in Winton Square, to commemorate the life of Major John Howard, who played a vital role on that pivotal day on June 6, 1944.
Major Howard and other officers from the 1st Airlanding Brigade arrived in Basingstoke in January 1942 and their officers' mess was based in The Wheatsheaf.
A couple of years later, Major Howard was instrumental in leading the capture of the key "Pegasus" Bridge, and he and his men were instrumental in preventing German forces from attacking the eastern flank of the Allied forces landing at Sword Beach on D-Day.
At the unveiling of the plaque, Ian Williams, chairman of the heritage society, introduced David Robotham, head of The King's School, Sarum Hill, who gave a talk about how local people should celebrate the history of the town.
He said: "He (Major Howard) was here for two years. The formation of comradeship between him and his men was formed here in Basingstoke, and their part in the liberation on D-Day was crucial."
Borough mayor Councillor Martin Biermann said he had previously been unaware of the connection between Basingstoke and the D-Day landings, and he praised the society for celebrating local history.
He said: "You could not have picked a more appropriate day to unveil this plaque."
The plaque was meant to be unveiled by Steve Welch, previous landlord of The Wheatsheaf, but in his absence, veteran Jim Beasant, who was attending the event, stepped up to do the honours.
Mr Beasant, 89, is president of Kingsclere Royal British Legion and was a sergeant in the 13th Parachute Battalion. The plaque is the 21st to be unveiled by Basingstoke Heritage Society.

Albrecht Foods Racine, which operates the Sentry grocery store at 5740 Washington Ave., will permanently close in January.
About 60 people will lose their jobs, according to the notice Albrecht Foods sent Mount Pleasant on Wednesday, as required by state statute. The anticipated last day of employment for all affected employees will be Jan. 11. The state Department of Workforce Development has not yet received the notice.
Employees were notified of the closing on Wednesday.
Greg Schilz, general manager of the store, said that because of the economy the store had struggled for several years, but with Walmart being built across the street they couldn't remain open.
"Racine has been very slow to recover," Schilz said. "We never really got off to the start we intended and needed to be a viable business. We've been struggling and now with the addition of Walmart in an already overcrowded market place, we had to make a very difficult business decision.
"We appreciate the opportunity to have had a store in Racine. We're sorry this didn't work out and that we couldn't provide a healthy, viable entity for our employees."
Jody and Sunday Muniz own Nutritional Designs & Pharmacy inside the store. On Facebook, they assured their customers that while they will need to find a new location, they have no intention of closing.
Late last night we were notified that Sentry Foods will be closing their doors January 11, 2013. As this is terrible news, rest assured Nutritional Designs & Pharmacy remains passionately committed to remaining ambassadors for the local community, with regards to Pharmacy and Wellness Solutions. Although Sentry's misfortune affects us, we are a strong, vibrant company and have NO intentions of closing. We will continue to posts updates as our strategic planning allows.
The intersection of Highways 20 and 31 currently has three grocery stores—Sentry, GFS Marketplace and Piggly Wiggly—and a Walmart Neighborhood Market is expected to open next year on the fourth corner.
In May, Patch reported that a market study commissioned by owners of the local Sentry and Piggly Wiggly stores said the new Walmart "would eventually prove fatal to both The Pig, Sentry and, potentially, the Pick-n-Save on Rapids Drive."
"I was at every one of the meetings where Walmart was on the agenda and spoke at most," Schilz said. "The biggest hurdle was rezoning, and I asked them not to vote and they did. That became the hook they needed to get the store."
Albrecht Foods also owns a Sentry store in Delafield, which will remain open.
UPDATED Novemeber 9, 2012 at 10:22am:
"It is a sad situation and we will miss all the nice people at Sentry," stated Pharmacist and Owner of Nutritional Designs Pharmacy in Mount Pleasant, "but we are a strong and vibrant company and I am confident we will stay in the immediate area."
Recent news of the closing of Sentry on Washington Avenue has hit many people hard in these challenging economic times. And for Sunday and Jody Muniz whose business currently resides within the grocery store, it may sting that much more.
Muniz says they have been caught in a crossroads but will likely find a new home in Mount Pleasant. And the possibility of staying in the same location has not yet been ruled out. Truth is, no one really knows what is going to happen at this point. Within 24 hours of the announcement, the Munizes met with their business consultants for many hours to strategize and examine their options.
"We are here to serve our customers and community. We will not abandon all the people who come from all over for our services. We want to make sure there is very minimal disruption to our customers," says Muniz, "Our goal is to stay in Mount Pleasant if possible."
Jody Muniz also expressed great appreciation for all the overwhelming support they have received from their customers via phone and Facebook. He gives his sincere gratitude.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Broadcaster Eddie Doucette recalls the birth of his term 'skyhook'
Skyhook, the shot, was made famous by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Skyhook, the term, was coined by former Milwaukee Bucks announcer Eddie Doucette, who is to be inducted into the broadcasting wing of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September.
In a recent telephone interview, Doucette described the genesis of the term.
According to Doucette, the sky hook was born on May 10, 1974 at Boston Garden in Game 6 of the NBA Finals between the Bucks and Celtics.
Milwaukee won in double overtime, 102-101, to tie the series and send it back to the Milwaukee Arena for Game 7.
The shot that won the game was the first time Doucette used the term sky hook. Oscar Robertson inbounded high sideline right to Abdul-Jabbar who was above the foul line. He looked to pass, but found no one open. He faced Finkel, took a dribble to the baseline and lofted a hook shot.
"He got the ball in rhythm," Doucette said. "It was as beautiful thing. A perfect pass, the way you are supposed to deliver it. So he had to take only one step and go up."
Finkel was guarding Kareem because Dave Cowens had fouled out, Doucette said.
At Boston Garden, Doucette was not seated courtside as radio broadcasters many times are in NBA venues. He was up in the first balcony.
"When he went to that baseline and went up for that shot, it was kind of almost eye level with me," Doucette said. "It felt that way. Everything became slow motion when he went up for that shot on the baseline. Took it in stride. Went up off his left leg. Perfect balance. Right hand fully extended. Ball on the fingertips. Launched that shot. And as he launched it, it just hit me. 'That ball is coming out of the sky. That's a skyhook.' That's how it happened. I never gave it any thought. But I had to be in a position where I was located that would inspire me to think that it would be coming out of the sky.
"It was beautiful," Doucette said. "It was arched. His form was textbook. Every kid who is a big man should study how to shoot that shot. It's unstoppable. He executed it in art form and we won the game."
NOTE: Subsequent to the interview with Doucette, we listened to an audio account, an LP, of the Bucks' 1970-'71 championship season. The record, narrated by Doucette, contains several clips of his game calls on radio that season, including the first regular-season game against the Atlanta Hawks. At the end of that game, Doucette describes a shot by Lew Alcindor down low, after he received a pass from Oscar Robertson: "Turnaround skyhook from six. Gooooood!" You can listen to it here.

Eddie Doucette is an original! Wish he was still the voice of the Bucks.
Cool story. Great announcer.
Makes me miss Al "Aircraft Carrier" McGuire as well. Special times for bball fans in the 70's and 80's in Milwaukee.Hide replies
Yup, and a great game as well. Living in Milwaukee then and went to a lot of Bucks games.
Eddie brought so much to the game with his announcing. I'd love to hear him tell the story behind the "jack-knife jump shot" and the "pancake jumper". I seem to recall he had some good nicknames for the players, too.Hide replies
My memory is hazy, but I think Wali Jones was the guy for whom 'jackknife jumper" was coined. And I know people have mentioned Dandridge as having the pancake jumper. But I swear it came from Junior Bridgeman's flat shot, having to shoot this way due to the low ceilings of his East Chicago HS gym. Hey, I read everything in those game programs of the '70's.
Jack-knife jumper was Wali Jones. Nickenames? The Greyhound, the Cement Mixer, the Electric Eye, and even Scooter Zopf.
Dandridge pre-dated Bridgeman, and had the original pancake jumper.
good call fellas.
sorry about your 'skyh00k' ball, kidsmoke
Marques...Hot knife through butter...and lays it in.
I don't hear anybody driving into "the toaster" anymore. I think that's a little more descriptive than "in the paint." Eddie has a way woth words. A deserving honor.
I could swear "skyhook" was around prior to '74. As a little kid in '71 or '72, I had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Sky Hook basketball. Which lasted only until one of my many airballs got punctured by landing square on pruned shrub branch.
I think Eddie moved out west because his son had health issues. I hope his boy is doing OK, has to be in his 40s now. I think his first partner on tv was some guy called the professor. The Professor was horrible, but Eddie was great, they kinda made a good broadcasting pair. All the kids in my neighborhood would gather around a tv and watch the Bucks games, on channel 18 I think. Great times, then go out in the alley and practice your Skyhook. It was great to see a bunch of short kids shoot the sky hook. We all got pretty good at it too. lol.Hide replies
I believe that the "professor" was Ron Blomberg, Eddie's broadcast partner for a while. Not a great announcer but a good guy and did a lot of good work developing the camps and other things for the Bucks. Knew him at Brookfield Central where he was the BB coach.

10 Easy Upcycled Craft Projects
Country Living Editor-in-Chief Sarah Gray Miller showed these fast and simple ways to repurpose vintage finds on The Nate Berkus Show!
Crate Shelving
Old blueberry crates — like the six that make up this ruggedly good-looking shelving uni — are the perfect size for displaying and storing Mason jars.
Step 1: Find a pattern/layout you like by arranging the crates on the floor.
Step 2: Mount the crates on a wall, starting with the top row, using a level, anchors, and screws. For each box, drill holes through each of the four corners, then insert anchors into the holes. Holding the box in place so that the holes align, drill screws through the holes to affix the box to the wall.

Celebrity chef Robert Irvine and a restaurant design team could be coming to a restaurant near you. As long as the place is thinking of closing.
Shooters, a Philadelphia-based television production company responsible for the Food Network's "Dinner: Impossible" and "Food Feuds," is scouting restaurants in Buffalo and other cities for its new show.
"Restaurant: Impossible" follows Irvine and the designers for 48 hours as they give a failing restaurant a makeover. Cameras capture the personalities and the changes through a Grand Reopening, then share the results with viewers.
The show just finished shooting at the Salt Works II in Wilmington, N.C. Today, Irvine wrote on his Facebook page: "Thanks to ALL the hard working cooks and servers who really dug deep to achieve great results. You should all be proud!"
Will Irvine pull off another turnaround in Buffalo? The production company is also looking in Syracuse, Albany and Scranton, among othe cities.
What does it take for a restaurant to get the show's attention? From the casting memo:
"The restaurant should be one that is at risk of closing and is in need of a boost in customers, good reviews and overall revenue.
"We are looking for restaurateurs who have poured their heart and souls into trying to make their establishment successful but nevertheless have fallen on dire times.
"The restaurant's owners and management will be taking guidance from a celebrity chef and must be willing to overhaul their menu, decor and theme to put them back on the path to success!
"Being family run is definitely a plus. Restaurant owners must have strong, outgoing personalities."
Interested parties should contact Shooters production assistant Justin Leonard by e-mail at email@example.com to start the application process.
