- Good food. Good service.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014I chose Aria through many other reviews for my husbands birthday. I had requested through Open Table a quiet table and for a dessert to be brought over after dinner to acknowledge his birthday. When we arrived, we had 8pm reservations and did not have to wait at all to be seated. We were seated upstairs at a very small table next to the bar but still it was ok. Then the hip hop music from outside started blaring in. Not so romantic. The service was great. Very friendly staff. The food was very good but they never acknowledged his birthday. I'm not sure wether it was poor communication from booking online or if they just didn't do it but either way it was disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great time. Great foodChildressmemberDined on 9/19/2014Ambience and energy were awesome. Food was just as good an the service impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- iluvfoodncDined on 9/13/2014This was my first time at Aria. It was recommended by a friend and it was everything she said it would be. From the Hostess to the Waiter, everyone was professional, friendly and contributed to a great dining experience. Food was fantastic. I will definately return !!Special Features:
- Another Enchanting EveningKipperVIPDined on 9/13/2014This was our fourth or fifth viist to Aria and it did not disappoint. The food is excellent, the service good, and the wine list terrific. This is one of Charlotte's gems.Special Features:
- Great DinnerPersnicketydinerVIPDined on 9/10/2014The wine list is great, full of Italian selections. I loved the kale salad. The service is good and dessert is delicious. Two thumbs up.Special Features:
- Good first impressionLoriDined on 9/10/2014This was our first trip to Aria and we enjoyed our meal. My appetizer bruschetta and flounder entree were delicious, dessert was my least favorite course. The atmosphere of the restaurant was energetic but loud. Would certainly go back to try some of the other tempting selections on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for a Diverse GroupYogaFanVIPDined on 8/19/2014There were 7 of us dining at Aria this week from different parts of the US and different backgrounds. All of us would rate our dinners a 10. I had the stropazetti pasta which was phenomenal. Everything was so fresh and tasted like it had just been made. . .which it had!! I cannot recommend this restaurant more strongly. Also the food is at different price points so this wonderful food is doable on many budgets.Special Features:
- Solid lunch optionCLTdinerVIPDined on 8/19/2014Had the orrechiette. Not as good as usual -- a bit too salty and light on broccoli rabe. Otherwise, it was good. Food was relatively quick. Good service.Special Features:
- Outstanding all around experience!BBggDined on 8/16/2014The food at Aria was incredibly fresh & delicious from the homemade gnocchi appetizer and the fresh crudo to our amazing entrees of both the lamb shank and the duck and the grand finale of tiramisu. Not a detail was missed. Great wine list. Our amazing waitress, Elaine, was so knowledgeable and pleasant I look forward to coming back! Kudos!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining ambience in Uptown Charlottenwolf15Dined on 8/11/2014My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our recent visit to Aria. We wanted to go out for a nice dinner at a restaurant with good food and atmosphere, but that was moderately priced, and Aria was the perfect fit. The restaurant was chic but not stuffy, and we loved the decor and great location. We ordered the foie gras ravioli as an appetizer; it was a bit smokey for my taste, but my boyfriend loved it, and the presentation was great. We ordered lasagna and penne alla vodka for our entrees, which were both very good. With drinks (I had a great cocktail with prosecco and strawberry puree), an appetizer, and two entrees, the meal was around $50, which we thought was very reasonable. There was also complimentary valet parking! A great dinner spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Italian Food I have hadJC4VTDined on 8/9/2014My wife and I visited Aria over the past weekend. We have a few favorite Italian restaurants where we originate from. We were very taken by the restaurant when we walked into the door. The server was very helpful and providing some recommendations both from the wine and the food menu. The food we had was by far the best Italian food we have had to date. Unique, very well plated, priced well and very delicious. If you are looking for basic noodles and sauce, I would not recommend this restaurant. However if you are looking for an elevated Italian dish, please stop by.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014The food was amazing. Everyone at our table loved their meal. The service was ok.Special Features:
- BulldawgBulldawgDined on 8/8/2014We were invited to a late night cocktail party so we decided to have dinner with friends before hand. The food was delicious and the service adequate. However, IF I were to recommend Tuscan Grill I would caution about the noise level. The music was loud as were several tables nearby to the point where our table of four could not converse. It is definitely not a location for enjoyable food AND conversation.Special Features:
- Awesome!!FancyPantsDined on 8/8/2014We went to dinner before the Panthers game and were dressed in game day gear and fit right in. Dress varied from very fancy to very casual. Food was fresh, hot and delicious. Our server was fantastic, and asked what time we needed to leave, and by golly, we were finished and on out way to the stadium by that time! We will be going back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Lunch with the Girls!AOShellDined on 8/6/2014We hosted a lunch for some girls from work who were getting married. The Aria lunch special, salad, entry, dessert, small plate was perfect! Their bread was to die for! Quiet when we arrived a bit early but got very loud and was full of business lunchers by the time we left.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wow!CapnBakfireDined on 8/2/2014We needed a table for 7 imvluding two kids and a baby on a busy night uptown...no problem. The food was magical and the setting was romantic enough to be special but not so much it was awkward with a group. The kids menu was well priced and tasty. I can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great LocationAnthonyDined on 8/1/2014Well located between the Omni and the Ritz-Carlton. Was able to see AC Milan team bus from the restaurant. Great food, service and live music.Special Features:
- Outstanding mealFinfanDined on 7/27/2014We had a fantastic meal at Aria the other night. The lamb shank and wild duck breast were amazing! The classic rustic Italian food here is really worth the trip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable experienceSayitloudbapDined on 7/27/2014This was a good restaurant with a variety of great food. The portions were not large on some of the dishes but the quality was very high on everything that we had on the table.Special Features:
- Always deliciousThomasPartyof2Dined on 7/26/2014My husband and I have dined at Aria a few times and every time we do the food has been amazing. Our waitress could barely hear us which was a problem making me have to practically yell my order at her. Lasagna was stellar as was the pizza Bianca.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect for birthday dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/26/2014The good was delicious and the atmosphere was fantastic! They even had live music and their entire menu was available for Queens Feast! Definitely will go here again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellentrichiec104Dined on 7/26/2014Took advantage of Restaurant Week offer. 3 courses & all three were great! Food was delicious, service was good, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was mid-to-upscale. Very enjoyable!Special Features:
- All Around Great Restaurant!IRISH8Dined on 7/25/2014Great experience at Aria. Too notch food and service.Special Features:
- One of my absolute favorites.Aria1Dined on 7/25/2014This was my third time coming to Aria and I love it more and more each time I come. The atmosphere is everything. All of my guests had the best time and raved on how wonderful the restaurant was. The staff was extremely accommodating of my large party even though it was restaurant week. Aria is in my top five list of best restaurants in Charlotte. Kudos to the chef and the entire team for making my birthday dinner special :)Special Features:
- Good for the priceIEatOutAlotDined on 7/25/2014Food is good, decorated nicely, kind of small; you and your neighbors will share a conversation, unless you're in a groupSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great evening at AriaLittleKidDined on 7/25/2014Taking advantage of Queen's Feast, we uncovered a great restaurant in Aria Tuscan Grill. There was excellent choice, and the service was quite attentive. I would definitely return, particularly if they had lunch, which I think they do!Special Features:
- FoodYoungFoodieDined on 7/24/2014It was evident that Aris didn't concentrate a whole lot on seasoning, but on concentrated a deal on sauce work. I understand foods costs & plate presentation, but it wouldn't hurt for the plated to be sauced a little more. The foods and the sauce last amazing together, but I feel to maintain consistency without the plate& for ultimate satisfaction; SAUCE IS NEEDED!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant WeekToryDined on 7/24/2014I went to Aria with some friends for Queens Feast and it very good! I liked and chose this restaurant for Queens Feast specifically because they offered a lot of items on their prix fix menu, unlike some other restaurants in the city. I gave Aria a "very good" rather than "excellent" merely because nothing we ordered was outstanding still talking about it the next day level great. However, nothing anyone ordered was less than "very good" either. I really liked the atmosphere in here though, it's elegant yet relaxed - It almost feels like one big dinner party!Special Features:
- PresidentOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014Great for a business lunch and early dinner. Nice bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old standbyPickyEaterDined on 7/21/2014The atmosphere is comfortably business casual. The food was fine. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to write home about. The service was friendly and warm, but not particularly expert on the food or wine.Special Features:
- Such a great time at Aria!ktcrazy14Dined on 7/21/2014We didn't even realize it and we snuck in a reservation for restaurant week! This was a BIG treat because we got to try 3 courses for only $30 and they have their FULL MENU! Everything was so delicious, we had a great time, a great server, and an all around great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week FanOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/20/2014The initial entry into the restaurant was thru the B of A atrium which forced us to go down the stairs to the Greeting Station that is servied, not by the 200 S Tryon address but a side street address, which would have been beneficial. We then turned around and had to go back up stairs to our table. Beyond that the food was very good and the service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upstairs-DownstairsDennisVIPDined on 7/20/2014First-time visit. Glad to have been seated upstairs. Lower level was very noisy with most tables spaced closely together. Not enough aisle space upstairs between tables either. Servers and other patrons kept bumping my chair through no fault of their own. On the positive side the food itself was quite good. Mussels with fennel and garlic and lamb shank were both excellent. My wife's gnocchi and trout were, according to her, delicious as well.
- Great service,staff & foodLuv2eatDined on 7/20/2014I came her during restaurant week. What a great choice I made Love it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No wowOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/19/2014The food was just okay. I expected at least one thing to be be a WOW this is really good, but no. Scallops were good but the vegetable had a very strong vinegar taste. The salmon was bland. I only ate a few bites. The service was very good. They were really busy the night we were there.
- sthompsonDined on 7/19/2014the food is great, the service is great, the only complaint was poor lighting, and the menu print was so small had to use a 10x magnifier to see it...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- foodsidesDined on 7/19/2014It was ok. Simple Italian . Food could have been more authentic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experienceMandMDined on 7/18/2014We were visiting from out of town during restaurant week; saw Aria's website and made a reservation. We had trouble finding it and parking, but once inside, it was worth the hassle! Very pleasant staff, great corner table and the food surpassesd our expectations. (We're from Charleston, SC and know good restaurants). We had mussel appetizers that were outstanding. I had the scallop entree, which was very good, but my date's entree, the lamb shank was the best, a wonderful melody of flavors and incredibly tender. Overall a great dining experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/18/2014We had a wonderful time, went to the bar first, met Jeff and had some really great drinks, Sidecar was yummy, then our dinner was so good, service was great, we had such a good time, will be back for sure..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YumEMF673Dined on 7/18/2014Our second visit was during Queen's Feast and this time everything was great and the menu provide was very large. Throughly enjoyed our visit with friends in the restaurant. can be very noisey.Special Features:

Excellent price for a double pack of sight adjustment tools. I kept one and gave a friend the other. You just can't beat TSG for the value of their merchandise.
Works perfectly on my A2 sights, perfect fit and easy to use. Much better than trying to adjust with a punch and pliers. Gave the second one to my nephew, he loves it.

Love it came with 2 of them .& works great .

25 ThingsPosted February 9th, 2009 by siteadmin
Hey everyone!
The new album is out and things are sure picking up around here! I thought I'd take a break from packing my suitcase (I'm headed to NYC next week for promo and a performance at Anna Wintour's AMFAR gala!) to sit down and catch up with yall. A lot of my friends have been writing up these list '25 Things' lists and I thought this would be the perfect way for you to get to know me a little better. Bet you wouldn't have guessed #11 about me!
More soon,
25 Things
1. I looooove to cook and I'm addicted to the Food Network.
2. I have a slight southern accent that gets increasingly stronger the longer I spend @ home in Texas.
3. Halloween is my favorite holiday.
4. I have a rescued pit bull named Ella Fitzgerald.
5. For years I thought I was 5'3 1/2 but I recently found out that I'm actually 5'2 1/4. It was a very big deal!
6. I'm a sucker for classic cars and the boys that drive them.
7. I wear high heels nearly every day (see #5)
8. I have trouble sleeping in. Or staying in bed when I'm awake.
9. My friends inspire me.
10. Having 3 songs that I wrote on my new album is surreal to me. The first time I sang anything that I had written for David (my producer) I lied and said that my friend had written it until I could gauge a reaction!
11. I think feet are really gross.
12. I attended Catholic school.
13. I love to dance but never have ANY idea what I'm doing.
14. I'm a natural redhead and I would never dye my hair any other color.
15. I've never gotten a speeding ticket but I've been rear ended 3 times in the last year.
16. I love to throw dinner parties. (Last Thanksgiving I successfully cooked for//fed 20 of my closest friends!)
17. My favorite color is red and my lucky number is 9.
18. I hate olives.
19. I wear Agent Provocateur perfume everyday.
20. My underwear ALWAYS has to match.
21. My heritage is Norwegian, not Irish as many people think.
22. I'm a vegetarian.
23. My favorite artist is Billie Holiday and my favorite record of her "Lady in Satin"
24. I hate being misquoted in interviews (It happens a LOT)
25. I always try to do at least one nice thing for someone else everyday.

By Miki Shima, o.m.d.
Over the 23 years I've been in practice, I've helped hundreds of couples become pregnant without high-tech or pharmaceutical interventions. But many of my patients also add Chinese medicine to conventional fertility treatments to increase their effectiveness and alleviate some of the side effects.
Looking eastward has another benefit, too. In the rush to develop increasingly sophisticated ways to treat infertility, doctors often skip over a critical element: bolstering the patient's overall health, which can suffer in the course of treatment. Where Western medicine concentrates solely on the reproductive organs, Chinese medicine works to strengthen and balance all systems of the body, using a combination of acupuncture, herbs, and nutritional supplements.
Here are some of the fertility-related questions I hear most often.
Q: I've been trying to conceive for one year, so far unsuccessfully, and I'd like to avoid the hassle and expense of conventional fertility treatments. How effective is Chinese medicine alone in helping women get pregnant?
A: That depends on several factors. Your first step should be to see your gynecologist for a few exams. She can check for any physical obstructions that might be preventing pregnancy, such as a blockage in your fallopian tubes, and assess your levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which affects ovulation, to make sure you haven't entered early menopause. If your FSH levels are above 10, your chances of getting pregnant without any kind of conventional fertility treatment are very small; if you have high FSH levels and an obstruction, your chances are essentially zero.
However, if your FSH levels are 9 or below, and there are no physical obstructions, traditional Chinese medicine alone can substantially improve your odds. For instance, if you are between the ages of 35 and 40 and your FSH is around 9, you have about a 4 percent chance of getting pregnant without any treatment whatsoever; with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I've found that the probability rises to about 25 percent.
If you do need to see an infertility doctor, Chinese medicine can still help. Many of my patients are women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or egg donation, and I've found that adding acupuncture, supplements, and herbs to the mix can raise their success rate by about 15 to 25 percent. One recent study from Germany reported that women who received a regular course of acupuncture immediately before and after in vitro fertilization were 58 percent more likely to get pregnant than those who underwent IVF alone.
Q: Will the fertility herbs my acupuncturist gave me interfere with the fertility drugs I'm taking?
A: No, with one exception. The drug Lupron is prescribed to shut down hormone production (as part of IVF treatment), so herbs that promote hormonal activity can interfere with it. I tell my patients to stop all herbal treatments while taking this drug.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
It's primary day in four states and dailies tell you all about it
"Do you ever get the feeling that the only reason we have elections is to find out if the polls were right?" Those words are attributed to Robert Orben, a comedy writer and speechwriter, who may have had today's primaries and other forms of vote-counting in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont in mind.
We thought that we would check our Web site dailies for those four states, to see how the election is being played. The first of our 15 Ohio dailies — the Akron Beacon Journal — touts the "Democratic tossup," wisely noting that "Ohio polls differ on possible winner." The Repository in Canton leads with "Making a final push for votes," while The Cincinnati Enquirer tells its readers that "It's in your hands" and The Plain Dealer in Cleveland urges "Make your vote count" as The Columbus Dispatch heaves an editorial sigh and banners "Finally, it's here." The Vindicator in Youngstown touts "The Youngstown effect" while noting "Early voters try to avoid bad weather, crowds" as The Lima News says that it's "Ohio's time to decide."
Let's start with the "A's" in our 21 Texas dailies, with the Amarillo Globe-News reporting "Nation has eyes on Texas" while also noting on Page One that "Snow blankets city." The Austin American-Statesman leads with "Clinton and Obama sprint to Texas finish" as the El Paso Times ups the ante with "Candidates race to finish," the Houston Chronicle claims "Democrats expect no knockouts," the San Antonio Express-News prefers "All Eyes on Texas" and our friends in McAllen have the "showdown at polls" on Page One of The Monitor along with Bill Clinton stumping for Hillary in Edinburg.
As for the other two states voting today, we have only one daily from each to check. The Providence Journal in Rhode Island devotes most of Page One to the election, starting with the lead "Race comes down to the wire," a sidebar about "More voters expected at fewer polling locations," and then several shorter items about who may vote, where and how to get election results. The Burlington Free Press up in Vermont has several other news stories on Page One but leads with "State expects record turnout" and offers an analysis that "Ohio, Texas crucial to Clinton's chances." And that's the way it is.

Advice for Up and Coming Front-End DevelopersFeb 8th 2013 · Permalink
I got an email the other day from an up and coming front-end developer asking for advice on how to expand their skill set and really learn to master their craft as well as how I stay current on new technologies and trends. Below is an except of my response which I thought might be interesting to some of you.
How to expand your skill set
The easy answer to this is to just do more work. Take on as many projects as you can. The more work you do, the more you'll learn as you arrive at different problems and challenges with each project. How you solve those problems is how you build your skill set. To be a great front-end dev, you need to be a master of the fundamentals. I consider the fundamentals to be layout, specifically the 'position' property and the 'float' property. I wrote a few 101 articles on those a while back that you can find here: (CSS Positioning 101 · An A List Apart Article and CSS Floats 101 · An A List Apart Article) I truly believe that if you UNDERSTAND how these work, you can mark up any design thrown your way.
If you feel like you have these concepts mastered, I would start to think about how you can mark up a site with a little elements as possible. For example, would it be possible to reduce this "module" of content from 3 divs down to 2? Things like that. I always like to think optimally when I'm marking up a site. It can be so easy to add more elements to the markup when we get stuck, but I would challenge you to try to keep it as minimal as possible. If you use a framework like Bootstrap, these sometimes have extra markup to accommodate a more flexible approach, but I would recommend staying away from frameworks until you really have a grasp on what you are doing. Learn it on your own before you rely on someone else's code to do your work for you.
If you don't have a lot of work coming your way, I would try to replicate designs/layouts that you see online. I used to find a site that looked like a challenge and then try to build it myself. Not copying the design per se, but just using div's with a background color to try to nail the layout. That kind of stuff really helped to expand my skill set as well.
Lastly, I would try to set some goals to learn new languages. As an example, set the goal that you want to learn and master jQuery and how it can be used in front-end development. Whether it's AJAX or traversing the DOM, learn some of the basics and progress from there.
How do you stay current on new technologies and trends?
This is a good question. My answer is, I don't. I simply don't have time to stay up on all the new tech and trends when I'm busy building sites with the tech that we have right now. I usually give trends a year before I start to embrace them and check them out. This does a couple of things: ensures that a trend is not simply a trend, but an emerging "best practice" — responsive web design for instance, and it also spares me a rough learning curve as by the time I look into it several articles/blog posts/github repositories have been published to help deal with edge cases/issues that always occur with new tech/trends. Because I'm self taught, learning them isn't the challenge as much as deciding if I should learn them.
Any other advice I would offer?
- Strive to do good work. Don't settle for hacks if you can't get a particular layout to work. Step back and rethink it. Good work gets noticed and that's how you grow your "brand", if you will.
- Find a stellar designer to work with and offer to markup their designs at a reduced rate. It's always rewarding to be working on a project that looks fantastic. It also doesn't hurt when prospective clients review your portfolio.
- Go to conferences and start meeting peers. People are more likely to hire someone they've met face to face than a stranger off the internet.

Musiq Soulchild - Luvanmusiq
Production: Curtis "Sauce" Wilson, Ivan "Orthodox" Barias, Lab Ratz, Neff U, Raphael Saadiq, Underdogs, Warryn Smiley Campbell
Lead Single: B.U.D.D.Y.
Musiq Soulchild's soulful voice has been quiet for three years, and in that time he's left Def Soul (to sign with Atlantic Records,) dropped and then reclaimed the Soulchild portion of his name, and in the process done some serious growing up. Luvanmusiq, his newest release, is the record of a man becoming a man, both personally and musically. Musiq has replaced songs about nice clothes, partying, and crushes with introspective takes on love and relationships. He has said that "the aim of this album is to introduce myself," and with his first single B.U.D.D.Y. …
DJBooth Album Review
Musically the album is simple and elegant, with most songs built around piano, guitar, and drum lines. Such minimal production and a reliance on musicianship makes Luvandmusiq the kind of album that sounds as if it were recorded live. The first song on the album, Teachme, is a perfect example. The track starts off with a cascading piano line, emphasized with bursts of guitar and a steady hi-hat drum beat, and this formula remains steady throughout. The effect is to create the kind of hypnotizing song perfect for relaxing or traffic-jam sing alongs, unfortunately Teachme is one of only a handful of tracks [on the album] that strike such an effective balance between chill and completely forgettable.
Luvadmusiq's more serious tone is both a blessing and a curse; the album is well crafted and intelligent, but on occasion is so subdued that songs can fade into background music. Thequestions is Musiq's attempt at a solo-piano ballad, but although the lyrics are thoughful and honest, it ultimately fails to make a true connection (listen to John Legend's Ordinary People to see how it's done). Today falls into a similar trap; a great love song should make you stop everything and intensely listen to every note, Today might actually put you to sleep.
When Musiq stops trying to make legendary R&B and instead simply writes the type of songs that get the entire crowd dancing, Luvanmusiq takes on an entirely different life. Betterman starts out with a funk-infused bass line, a driving drumbeat, and a looping vocal harmony that forces your body to start moving. Makeyouhappy is punctuated with horn sections and a clap track that's made for losing yourself in the music. It's moments like these that reveal what Musiq is capable of, soul-infused party jams that can also touch an emotional nerve.
If Musiq's sole intention for this album was to remind us he's alive, mission accomplished. Luvanmusiq has several solid tracks, and a couple excellent ones, but as a whole it falls just short of excellent. In short, this is the type of album that iPods were invented for; download your favorite tracks, get down, and rest assured that you don't have to buy the entire album. It's certainly good to have Musiq Soulchild back in the game, but he'll have to put something more than just Luvanmusiq into his songs if he wants to stake his place among his R&B heroes Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway.

State and federal regulators fined Goldman Sachs $16 million Thursday for a pay-to-play scheme involving a former vice president, a close political associate of former state treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, who landed the firm a $445.9 million bond deal with an agency Cahill oversaw.
In a negotiated settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the investment banking giant agreed to pay nearly $12 million for the actions of Neil Morrison, who previously had served as Cahill's deputy treasurer. Morrison was deeply involved in Cahill's gubernatorial campaign at the same time he was soliciting bond deals with state agencies.

Sports and Entertainment Law Institute - Workshops and Training
The Sports and Entertainment Law Institute will provide opportunities for students who demonstrate a talent and passion for sports law with core skills in the practice of sports law and opportunities for thoughtful discussion of contemporary sports law issues.
To advance those goals, there will be workshops on:
Contract drafting, including drafting of employment contracts, endorsement contracts, licensing contracts and stadium/concession contracts.
These workshops will particularly benefit students who are interested in becoming sports agents, attorneys for teams, or attorneys for companies which negotiate contracts with leagues, teams or players.
NCAA regulations and application of regulations to real-world situations.
These workshops will particularly benefit students who are interested in becoming NCAA compliance officers at colleges and universities, and those who would like to get on the track to becoming an athletic director.
Sports litigation, arbitration and mediation.
These workshops will particularly benefit students who are interested in becoming litigators, arbitrators or mediators and whose practice involves sports.
Obtaining a job or experiential learning opportunity in sports law.
These workshops will center on strategies for applying for a position as an agent, team or league attorney, private practice attorney, NCAA compliance officer and many other entry-level positions in the industry.
As I know from teaching at UNH Law this year, its students are bright and intellectually curious, and many have impressive backgrounds in engineering and science.
I'm not surprised that UNH Law is on the 'up and up'. And the UNH Law alumni network, with many graduates in sports and entertainment law professions, will strengthen the Institute.
The school also has deep professional and alumni contacts abroad, especially in Asia, where professional sports are growing rapidly.

City Agency Has New Name:Department of Community Services and Revitalization
Effective July 1, 2011 the Louisville Metro Department of Housing and Family Services became the Department of Community Services and Revitalization."This new name more closely reflects the department's mission to provide services for the entire community, and to work to revitalize all neighborhoods in Louisville," said Adria Johnson, Acting Director of the department. "It also allows our agency to better provide to the public our broad range of services and supports."Many Louisville residents seek services through the department each month – many needing help with crisis prevention and emergency assistance. However, Community Services and Revitalization's mission reaches beyond assisting with basic needs by offering services including financial literacy programs, educational and training opportunities, counseling services, asset building and development activities. With all of these, the goal is to improve the lives of individuals and help them reach self-sufficiency and help to bring about neighborhood revitalization.Along with the new name, changes to the department structure are being made. All client based services -- including Neighborhood Place, Community Action Partnership, Self Sufficiency Services, Outreach and Advocacy and Home Repair Services -- will be led by the Executive Director under the Community Services division. All revitalization and affordable housing development activities, land use and development programs, will be led by Jeana Dunlap under the Community Revitalization division. Finally, a third arm -- Compliance and Administration - will be led by Laura Grabowski to help ensure transparent reporting is maintained and proper monitoring is conducted of all local, state and federal grants."The newly named Department of Community Services and Revitalization along with the Director's and staff's efforts to streamline services is evidence to me that the department is moving in the right direction", said Mayor Greg Fischer. "Greater emphasis is being placed upon providing convenient access to programs and services and ensuring quality customer service, two key components of my Citizens Bill of Rights." The Department of Community Services and Revitalization will hold an Open House for their many and varied partners to introduce the new structure and staff and provide information on their programs. The Open House is July 14th, 2011, 2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. at the Memorial Auditorium Ballroom, 970 South 4th Street. For more information about Community Services and Revitalization, call MetroCall at 311 to be directed to the appropriate program. #

Play basketball via cannon. Activate mechanism, press buttons and throw ball at the net.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars May 16, 2013
Not a bad game overall. The levels were tricky at times, and the mechanics seem ok. Like another reviewer said, I think there should also be a power gauge. For some reason the visual feedback helps a lot. Also on level 15 there is a dead area by the switch on the top left (I don't know if this is just out of range for the cannon or it really is a drawn no click object), but it really makes it difficult to make that perfectly timed shot because the power only needs to be greater than a certain amount. Players will want to shoot beyond that regardless to make sure they hit the switch.
Hope this helps.

I really like the concept of the game. It's similar to "basketballs", one of my favorites on here. Some of the levels do require some thought to complete. One suggestion that would make it better is to have some kind of power gauge for each shot. As it is, I think it's good enough to pass judgment.

Forgot to Salt the Pasta Water? Take a Tip from Chez Pim
If you ever need a reminder why salting the pasta water is key to good pasta, just wait until you forget to do it.
I know because this is exactly what happened to me the other night. I took one bite of that pasta and thought my tastebuds had gone berserk. Talk about bland, boring, and tasteless noodles. Bleck.
But other than eating a mistake like this and moving on, what can you do? Pim of Chez Pim has a very clever idea.
After I shared my distress on Twitter, Pim wrote back with this helpful advice:
You could toss in a handful of salt right after draining. Salt will melt & be absorbed by pasta. Not the same but helps.
Unfortunately, I had already sauced and served my pasta before reading Pim's tip, but what a great idea for the next inevitable time that I get distracted while preparing dinner.
Have you ever tried this? Any other great post-facto pasta salting tips that work for you?

To remember, just say... Pasta Salt n Water.. Makes it edible after:) (*add a sing song note to it)
I've never salted my pasta! I must have been living under a rock! I love pasta though so maybe this will make me love it even more.
A handful of salt on drained pasta? A handful?
Funny...I never salt my pasta water. I never mind nor do I get complaints!
I do salt my sauce and most every savory food I cook, although not heavily.
My husband is from Italy and never salts the water. I find if the sauce is properly seasoned, the salted water makes the dish too salty.
My husband and his family instead drain the pasta and then toss with a small scoop of sauce and then serve with more sauce on top. This flavours the warm pasta with the delicious SAUCE, not just salt.
Every once in a while I do forget as well so this tip will come in handy-provided I remember this too.
@sygyzy - Point taken! When Pim first said this to me, I envisioned more like a teaspoon of salt in the palm of the hand, shaken evenly over the pasta.
@PineTree - The idea behind salting the pasta water is that the dish is seasoned all the way through, instead of just on the surface of the pasta with the sauce. But your husband's technique of tossing the salted sauce with the warm pasta so that the pasta absorbs that sauce is very similar to Pim's idea. I'll give it a try!
You can also use other flavor enhancers if you're trying to keep away from too much salt.
For instance, if I'm making a tomato-sauced pasta, I just throw in a heaping spoonful of no-salt tomato paste. Lots of "umami," no salt needed.
when i was younger, i never salted my water. the first time i had it salted, my husband (then food seducing boyfriend), had made it, and i actually thought it was too salty.
now, we only lightly salt--a compromise for the two of us.
I never salt the water. I did it once and had to make the dish all over again because my husband and I found it too salty. I'm with PineTree - if the sauce is well-seasoned (and why wouldn't it be?) you don't need the salt.
We're not watching our sodium intakes just yet, but I figure it's best not to get into the habit if it doesn't make much difference to us anyway.
I never salt the water either. I have done it both ways and never noticed a difference. But I'm usually serving the pasta in a seasoned sauce.
I never salt the water. Like shipwrecks I have tried- a little and a lot, and have never noticed any difference, so why bother? Plus I'm not big on seasoning. I often find a lot of things don't need salt and pepper- people are just accustomed to doing it.
Actually salting the water increases the boiling point, it just looks like it's boiling more because the salt adds nucleation sites for the bubbles.
I think it's safer to salt the water a little, especially if you're not too practised at balancing the seasoning of your sauce -I've had some terrible pasta cooked for 60 people with no salt in the water and way too little sauce to coat it. Not nice at all.
But if you're sauce is spot on, problem solved. I dunk a few noodles in my sauce to check the seasoning.
Interesting..I was taught to use 1 tablespoon of salt per pound of pasta it keeps the pasta from being bland. You should normally wait till the water starts boiling before adding the salt so it is absorbed properly and make sure the water is boiling again before adding the pasta. I also add a tablespoon of canola/olive/garlic oil or butter (depending on the dish) to my pasta water after it's been boiling for about 5 minutes to keep the pasta from sticking and adds a little extra flavor. Only salt I would recommend using if I did forgot would be probably sea salt. Sprinkle it very lightly over the pasta and toss it lightly before serving and adding any sauce. I don't use much salt in my sauces as the pasta should compliment the sauce. Another trick is to use bacon or tiny piece of fat back in the pasta water.

Over the years, I've been given by some the mini-reputation as a leader in the field of justice. At first, I took it as a compliment and of course, I still do because I care a lot about justice. I know that people mean well. But I care about justice not just for the sake of justice. I care about justice … because I care much about the Gospel.
And sometimes, when I hear folks talk about justice in the church, I cringe …
I cringe because if we're not careful, we're again compartmentalizing justice rather than seeing it as part of the whole Gospel; We need to see justice as a critical part of God's character and thus, our discipleship and worship.
Just like we shouldn't extract the character of "love" or "grace" or "holiness" from God's character, such must be the case with justice.
People often ask me, "What's the most critical part about seeking justice?"
My answer:
We must not just seek justice but live justly. Justice work and just living are part of our discipleship. Justice contributes to our worship of God. Justice is worship.
ST. LOUIS — Justice was a recurring theme as thousands of mourners packed the mammoth Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church on Monday for the funeral of Michael Brown, a black teen whose fatal shooting following a confrontation with a white police officer set off weeks of sometimes violent protests.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, among the speakers, called for a "fair and impartial investigation" into the shooting.
"We are not anti-police, we respect police," Sharpton said. "But those police that are wrong need to be dealt with just like those in our community who are wrong need to be dealt with."
Benjamin Crump, a lawyer representing Brown's family, alluded to the "three-fifths" clause in the Constitution for counting slaves (which actually was an anti-slavery clause) and demanded that Brown get "full justice, not three-fifths justice."
Brown's body was being laid to rest, but the controversy surrounding the Aug. 9 shooting was far from over. Prosecutors have not determined whether the Ferguson police officer, 28-year-old Darren Wilson, will face charges in Brown's death.
FERGUSON, Mo. — Ever since Michael Brown, a young, unarmed African-American, was shot by a police officer on Aug. 9, various crews have played a part in achieving the tentative peace that has taken hold of the St. Louis suburb once rocked by protests.
Some wear black T-shirts with large white letters that spell out "Peacekeepers." Others dress in bright orange shirts and call themselves "Clergy United." All acknowledge that the Nation of Islam has been a key player since the very beginning.
Last week, Capt. Ronald S. Johnson of the Missouri Highway Patrol, who took over the police security patrol in Ferguson, acknowledged on national television that the Nation of Islam and other groups — such as Black Lawyers for Justice — helped control the crowds on West Florissant Avenue. Others on social media pointed out that the Nation of Islam protected businesses from looters.
Diedrich Boenhoeffer wrote about it. Pastors preach about it. Churches strive for it.
It is a concept that has had a long history in the American church. It can come in many forms. Bringing a meal to a stressed out new mother. A church ice cream social. Youth group. Singles ministry.
But what does community look like when working on a social issue?
For human trafficking, that community comes in the form of partnerships. The 2000 federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) originally addressed human trafficking by creating the three 'Ps': prevention, protection, and prosecution. But after implementation occurred, the anti-trafficking community realized there was something missing. Thus, in 2008, the fourth 'P' —partnership — was added.
Controversial Seattle megachurch founder Mark Driscoll will step down for at least six weeks while church leaders review formal charges lodged by a group of pastors that he abused his power.
The 43-year-old pastor has been under fire in recent months for plagiarism, inappropriate use of church funds, and improper behavior toward subordinates.
Returning from vacation Sunday, Driscoll addressed Mars Hill worship services through a pre-recorded message.
"I want to say to my Mars Hill family, past and present, I'm very sorry. I genuinely mean it," Driscoll said in his address. "I'm very sorry for the times I've been angry, short or insensitive. I'm very sorry for anything I've done to distract from our mission by inviting criticism, controversy or negative media attention."
Driscoll said he will not do any outside speaking for the foreseeable future and postpone the publication of his next book.
Like many of you, I've been overwhelmed and deeply saddened by the events that have transpired in Ferguson, Mo. And at times I've felt helpless, 350 miles away in Cincinnati, as friends of mine are in Ferguson praying, marching, organizing, and working for peace and justice.
In my conversations with friends of color, I have witnessed their pain and frustration and deep angst over the events of Ferguson. The past two weeks have hit very close to home for them.
With white friends, the response has been mixed, but the overwhelming sentiment is one I've already identified: helplessness. I am not satisfied with this response. I believe there are ways we can respond, bear witness, be in solidarity and work for justice in this moment. Our love for God and neighbor demands we engage. If you are like me, you are praying without ceasing for the Shalom, peace, and justice of God to reign in the hearts and minds and streets of Ferguson and throughout this nation and world. So how can we pair our prayers with constructive action?
Here are ten ways white Christians can respond to Ferguson.
"Then the LORD said, 'I have observed the misery of my people…I have heard their cry…Indeed, I know their sufferings…' - Exodus 3:7
For the last few weeks, the eyes of America have been riveted on the town of Ferguson, Missouri, a formerly little-known suburb of St. Louis. It was there on Aug. 9 that an unarmed African-American teenager named Mike Brown was shot six times by police, sparking ongoing protests and demonstrations by grief-stricken and outraged citizens. Clashes between demonstrators and heavily armed local police, highway patrol, and the Missouri National Guard have been the subject of extensive coverage and all manner of commentary across broadcast and social media.
These demonstrations in Ferguson represent something more than just lament for the tragic death of Mike Brown. They are an outcry at the demonization of black men, racial profiling, institutional racism, intergenerational poverty, the militarization of law enforcement, and a culture of incarceration in America. Over the last three weeks, Ferguson has become a flash point for urgent issues facing minority communities, issues which have been largely unnoticed or ignored by the majority white culture. The #Ferguson hashtag no longer just refers to the events happening in Ferguson but has come to represent a national conversation about the toll that institutional racism and its many diabolical expressions have taken on our fellow Americans.
In the days following Mike Brown's death, columnist Leonard Pitts, Jr. described the protests as "an act of outcry, a scream of inchoate rage. That's what happened this week in Ferguson, Mo. The people screamed." These screams echo of the cries that God heard from the Hebrews enslaved in ancient Egypt.
As the Rev. Barbara Williams-Skinner collected signatures for a statement by leaders of African-American church groups about the Ferguson, Mo., police shooting of Michael Brown, she found more people wanted to join in.
The general secretary of the National Council of Churches wanted to add his name; an Asian-American evangelical leader, too.
What started out as a "Joint Statement of Heads of Historic African American Church Denominations" has become an interracial cry for justice.
"It's touching hearts of people who have sons and who know that their sons would not be treated this way," said Williams-Skinner, co-chair of the National African-American Clergy Network, on Thursday. "They know it's wrong. They know it's wrong before God. And they are responding on a human level."
This week, I saw a torrent of debate about who reached for the gun and why police don't shoot people in the leg rather than taking their lives. Neither angle seems to capture the bigger story at play on the evening news and fueling protest marches across Missouri.
On Sunday I preached to my church on race, current affairs and how to process — in a biblically loving way — what has been happening to brothers and sisters in Ferguson. (See video below) Talking about race and current affairs can be taboo in evangelical churches, and it was interesting as I saw a few couples exit the back door as I spoke.
Last week, I penned my thoughts on why we should pray for the saints in Ferguson. It was the outgrowth of my personal frustration and the pain I feel over the misunderstandings on race that can pervade the majority culture.

Earlier this week Jose Antonio Vargas, joined by ten other undocumented immigrants, announced the 1 of 11 Million campaign in Washington to urge the delay of deportations for the millions of documented immigrants in the United States. Vargas is founder of Define American, a national organization that uses stories to shift the narrative on immigration in America, and hopes to influence the executive action debate.
The campaign plans to tell the personal stories of 11 people who come from diverse backgrounds and whose experiences reflect many of the 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country. By providing a snapshot of our complex, outdated, and unpredictable system, advocates hope that changes announced by Obama will address the needs of communities nationwide.

A lot has been going on this week, despite it being short because of the holidays.
First, around the beginning of the week we participated in the 2-day WordPress bug hunt which tracked down and cleaned up dozens and dozens of bugs. All of these fixes were made available on WordPress.com shortly thereafter. Some you might notice are fixes for the anonymous pingback bug and the widgets pallete. Also when I write an entry here, it no longer says it's from "Super Admin". Not that I minded the title, but most people just call me Matt.
Speaking of widgets, you may have noticed the new layout we've been playing around with lately. This had some bugs at first, but they're being worked out and the new layout should allow for us to incorporate more widgets without things getting too crowded.
Behind the scenes, there was quite a bit of work on internationalization, as we prepare for both themes and the admin to be available in different languages. We also found a bug with signups where are the language choices you made during signup weren't being saved. You may have also noticed that the top posts and blogs on you dashboard will be from blogs in the language you chose on your General Options page. Language stuff can be very tricky, but we really want to give a cool experience for our many international users for whom English is not their preferred language.
When you comment here on the main WordPress.com blog, you shouldn't get security certificate warnings anymore. Due to the weird way SSL certificates work, you actually need a separate one for *.wordpress.com and wordpress.com, and we had to change the way we balance some traffic. Making the forum logins secure is still on its way, but not quite ready yet. (However we've made a lot of changes to the underlying bbPress forum software lately to help things along.)
You guys got an average of about 900,000 public pageviews a day last week.
There were some spruce-ups around WordPress.com, like aforementioned new tag pages and a new contact form for support if you're having trouble logging in.
Finally, tonight I put in a new theme called "Light" which is pretty clean and has a nice page navigation system.

This is a tip submitted from one of our readers and it expands on one of our previous tips - Checking the Size of Your Email.
As you may know, there is a 200MB limit on your campus email account. If you exceed that, you will no longer be able to receive or send email until you clean things up a bit.
One of the easiest and fastest ways to clean your email is to sort your emails by Size, then delete some of the larger ones that you no longer need.
Here's how:
In your email inbox, right-click the Size column heading and select Sort Descending. This will put the larger emails at the top of the inbox. Then you can choose the larger ones that you want to delete. Typically, emails with larger attachments or pictures will show up at the top of this list.
Clicking/Sorting the other inbox heading columns will get your inbox back to the look that you like. Sorting by Received is the default view (Right click Received and choose Sort Descending).

30 Retro Game Ads in 30 Days: Mario Bros. (Atari 5200)
Sure, Luigi has spent his entire career playing second banana, but this ad for the Atari 5200 Mario Bros. still goes above and beyond in humiliating the poor guy. Here's the Man in Green himself, a perfectly serviceable videogame hero, being portrayed as a hapless moron who acts like he's never seen a Shellcreeper before. Oh, woe! He's useless without his brother! But despite Luigi's cries, Mario never bothers to show up, so Luigi's trachea gets crushed by a crab. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Mario is a jerk.
Bonus observation: I love the way the announcer in this commercial pronounces "Mario," like it's a little too ethnic for him to get his mouth around. (My New England grandmother says it the same way, so maybe it's a regional/generational thing.)
This is some kind of a unique commercial. I like it somehow. - Michael Courouleau

A newly released police report regarding an inappropriate relationship between a Shattuck-St. Mary's teacher and a student, is shedding light on how the school learned of the relationship that led to a teacher taking his own life.
Len Jones started the relationship six years ago when the student in question, a Korean foreign exchange student, was 15-years-old, and ended with Jones committing suicide.
When the relationship began, Jones was a dorm parent, charged with helping students at Shattuck-St. Mary's adjust to life away from home.
The girl told police when she was a sophomore, she kissed Jones before leaving for a semester in Hawaii. Their relationship turned sexual when she returned the following spring. The two would meet four or five times a week, both in her dorm room, and in Jones' apartment on campus.
The girl says her relationship with Jones came to the attention of the school a year or so later when officials heard rumors she didn't go back to Korea, or stay with her host family, for the 10 day Thanksgiving break.
When school officials threatened to expel her, she broke down and told them she had been at a hotel with Jones for part of the holiday vacation.
The girl says told her Jones the day before school officials found out about the relationship, he would commit suicide if they were found out.
Later she emailed Jones saying, "I'm sorry. I have nothing to say. I wish you could find other happiness in your life. I'm sorry for this. You can blame me for everything. Forget me. Move on."
In her last email to Jones, the girl wrote, "Please don't do anything stupid. Don't hurt yourself. If you do, expect me to do the same."
After her meeting with Shattuck-St. Mary's officials, the girl called Jones to tell him their relationship was no longer a secret. Jones hung up on her, and didn't answer when she called back a few minutes later.
It was around that time that two staff members arrived at Jones's campus apartment and told him they needed to go to a meeting at the Director of Studies Office. It was at that meeting Jones was to be placed on administrative leave.
Jones then asked the two to wait a moment. He then walked onto his patio and shot himself in the head with a shotgun, about 20 to 30 feet from where his 17-month-old daughter was sleeping in the next room.
Fairbault Police, along with Jones' widow, say if school officials had contacted police, instead of trying to confront him themselves, he may not have had the opportunity to kill himself.
Shattuck-St. Mary's says it was following its plan to investigate the situation and notify police, when the tragedy took place.

MUTV's regular feature puts United's younger players under the spotlight..
First team played for?
A local team in Salford called Barr Hill. I started at the age of five but was playing for the older age group, the Under-6s. They are just a local team but are pretty good and won a few things. My cousin plays for them now so it's quite a good set-up they've still got going.
Signed for United..
United came in for me at the age of seven and I've just been at the club since the age of seven really.
Players you idolise..
The first one was Rio Ferdinand, when he first came as I thought he was great as a younger player. The first one I looked up to was Rio but, gradually as I'm getting older, I'm still looking up to Rio but, when I got to 16, Tom Cleverley too. Both for their attitude and skills.
What are your strengths?
Technique is one of my biggest strengths and passing. Knowing what to do when I get the ball. I have a vision in my mind where I know what I want to do when I get the ball. Passing and technique but also attitude to work.
Biggest achievement..
It's an achievement to be at the club from the age of seven but, all last season, the Youth Cup team stuck together coming into the Reserves and we won four trophies out of a possible four. So, as a whole team staying together, winning the number of trophies we've won.
Why do you love football?
Just getting on the pitch but waking up in the morning driving into training and thinking I'm coming into work but I'm doing what I love doing - playing football.

This Aaron Rodgers guy is pretty good. The Green Bay Packers got the home season rolling with a 38-20 blowout of a fellow defending division champion in the Washington Redskins as Rodgers riddled the visitors with a franchise record tying and personal best 480 passing yards. He had 335 by intermission and already had thrown three of his four touchdown passes. Not bad for a guy who said he must have slept funny because he woke up Sunday with a stiff neck. A pre-game adjustment from the team chiropractor and off he went into the history books. The Redskin secondary was overmatched at nearly every turn. James Jones, shut out last week in San Francisco, reeled in a career best 11 catches for a gaudy 178 yards. Randall Cobb had 9 for 128 and the first touchdown, a 35 yard crossing route on 4th and 3 in the opening quarter. Jermichael Finley had six catches for 65 yards and a score, Jordy Nelson caught only three, but two were in the end zone. And the capper to the aerial circus....a ground game. After Eddie Lacy left the game with a concussion on a Brandon Merriweather hit to the head, following his only carry, a 10 yarder, the forgotten man, James Starks took over. Starks was the last back to record a 100 yard rushing day, in the playoffs against Philadelphia in the Super Bowl run of 2010, but it had been 44 regular season games since the century mark was pierced. That was by Brandon Jackson in October of 2010, against, of all teams, the Redskins. Starks piled up 132 yards on 20 carries, capped by a 32 yard touchdown dash in the third quarter to close out the Green Bay scoring. All told, Green Bay's offense racked up 580 yards on 70 snaps with 28 first downs.
Lest we forget the defense. Coming off a rough day against a rogue quarterback, they saw another in Robert Griffen III but unlike Colin Kaepernick, RGIII couldn't get it done while it was still a game. In the first half, he was just six of 13 for 107 yards with an interception and a passer rating of 42.8. 44 of those yards came on one Pierre Garcon catch. The Packers held Washington without a third down conversion on five tries in the first half. With a 31-0 lead, the defense softened, didn't allow a quick touchdown over their heads and the Redskins finally were able to find some operating room. Alfred Morris kept running hard, finishing with 107 yards and Griffen did throw three touchdown passes, but it was all moot points. Defensive end Mike Neal got the interception on a play he told me was all wrong. He never heard the signal, dropped into coverage and caught a deflected ball. Davon House had the only sack for the Pack, in the third quarter.
The Packers righted the ship in a big way before a Lambeau Field record crowd of 78,020 that endured a steady rain during their tailgate party.
Afterwards, I made my way to Mike McCarty's press conference and into the locker room to gather the quotes:
Lacy was diagnosed with a concussion on the Merriweather hit and did not return. Merriweather himself was concussed later in the game on a hit with James Starks and did not return. The only other injury reported by the Pack was a hamstring pull suffered by John Kuhn. Morgan Burnett was again inactive after practicing on a limited basis last week. McCarthy said he just wasn't ready to go. The other inactives were Jarrett Bush, Casey Hayward, Nate Palmer, Lane Taylor, Josh Boyd and C.J. Wilson.
I counted 28 members of the Glory Years teams of the 60's in attendance for alumni day, all were introduced at halftime. The biggest cheers went to Willie Davis, now in a wheelchair and Bart Starr who came out of the tunnel last.
Next up for the Packers, a trip to Cincinnati to meet the Bengals. The last time we were there, a fan ran onto the field and took the ball away from Brett Favre while a play was in progress. Ahh, the Queen City awaits.

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) — The University of Minnesota Duluth is looking at cutting up to $1.1 million in programs and services this spring.
It's part of an initial round of budget reductions to help close a deficit of about $9.4 million over five years.
Campus leaders discussed the proposed reductions Monday. Included are cuts to the IT department, library staffing and a master of political leadership program.
Vice Chancellor for Finance Mike Seymour calls the cuts "significant." But he says the campus is working to make sure the cuts don't disrupt students' lives.
Faculty leader Michael Pfau says the cuts appear to be spread throughout the campus. He says it's also encouraging that no departments have been eliminated.
Minnesota Public Radio News (http://bit.ly/1hn5TzJ ) reports final decisions on what to cut aren't expected until May.
Information from: Minnesota Public Radio News, http://www.mprnews.org
