The Grundy County High School Sports Hall of Fame committee has named the rest of the inductees for the 2013-14 school year. There will be two more induction nights during football season, three during basketball and one in baseball. This Friday Coach Ricky Richards and the 1998 Lady Yellow Jacket state championship team will become the next two inductees. There will be a total of 10 inducted.
Ricky Richards is the winningest coach in school history and the only coach to take a team to a state title game and to win a state title. Throughout his 25 years at the helm of the Lady Yellow Jacket program he is just as proud of the 21 girls who got college scholarships from his teams.
The 1998 Lady Yellow Jacket basketball team is the only state champions in school history as well. After winning the district tournament the Lady Jackets fell in the region championship and had to go on the road to get to the state tourney. They won that game and won all three in Murfreesboro to take the title with a 41-39 win over Livingston Academy.
That season they were predicted to win it all by the late Duper Ladd before the season even started. Ladd served as an assistant coach on the team as well as athletic director at the school
The other Grundy greats that will be inducted this year will be Hugh Hill and the late Horace Moore at the September 27, game against South Pittsburg. During basketball season over three separate nights Mary Ellen Patton, Tannis Overturf, Joe Malone and the late Holly Brown will be inducted. In baseball season Coach Frank Clay will be the final inductee for this school year.
All those inducted this year will have a vote on next year's nominees. Only the HOF member themselves can vote and any teams inducted will have one vote as a whole with the team picking a representative to cast that vote.
Nominations will open sometime in the spring with guidelines for the public to submit nominations. The HOF committee will then determine who has met the prescribed criteria and list them on the ballot for the 2014-15 class. Classes will likely be limited to 3-5 per year.

It's time for the NFL to get serious after weekend of vicious hits
Story Highlights
Several players were injured in violent collisions on Sunday
Deion Branch, Ben Roethlisberger had big days in returns to teams
The Fine 15, the MVP Watch, the weekly awards and 10 Things I Think
NEW YORK -- "This is crazy!'' Rodney Harrison said as we tried to process the sixth or seventh vicious NFL hit of the day in the NBC viewing room Sunday afternoon.
Then, almost under his breath, Harrison said quietly, "Thank God I retired.''
The games we watched Sunday seemed as violent a collection as I've seen. Judging from the tweets and e-mails I got as the day went on, the public was astonished too. The Dunta Robinson collision with DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia, concussing both the Atlanta corner and Eagles receiver and probably kayoing the invaluable Jackson for Sunday's game at Tennessee. Several shots in Pittsburgh, two vicious ones by James Harrison of the Steelers; his helmet-to-helmet shot against Browns receiver Mohamed Massaquoi will certainly draw a heavy fine, and it's incredible to me no official flagged what could be the textbook definition of hitting a defenseless receiver. In New England, Brandon Meriweather lighting up Baltimore's Todd Heap with a hit to the head so vicious that either a mouthguard or something flew high into the air at the moment of impact. And so on -- six or eight shots where you wondered, "Is that guy getting up?''
So many thoughts. One: It's time to start ejecting and suspending players for flagrant hits, which I thought the Meriweather one was, and perhaps also the shot of Harrison on Massaquoi. Two: the league had better train its officials better considering there was no penalty on the Harrison hit on Massaquoi. The league had as a point of emphasis to officials this year that launching into a defenseless receiver would be a penalty and subject to discipline. So emphasize it.
Three: Eighteen games? Are you serious? Tell the six Eagles who've suffered concussions this year -- we're six weeks into the season -- that adding two games is no big hazard to your health. Right. And four: Don't tell me this is the culture we want. It might be the culture kids are used to in video games, but the NFL has to draw a line in the sand right here, right now, and insist that the forearm shivers and leading with the helmet and launching into unprotected receivers will be dealt with severely. Six-figure fines. Suspensions. Ejections.
I will hand it to Rodney Harrison. In the year-and-a-half I've worked with him, he's become more thoughtful about the game than I remember from his playing days, when his life was a seek-and-destroy mission. And Sunday, after watching a day of the viciousness, he laid it on the line on our Football Night in America show.
"You didn't get my attention when you fined me five grand, 10 grand, 15 grand,'' Harrison said. "You got my attention when I got suspended ... You have to suspend these guys. These guys are making millions of dollars. The NFL [has to say], 'We're going to really protect our players. We're going to suspend these guys, not one game, but possibly two or more games.' ''
If the NFL's serious about its rules, and is giving more than lip service about concussions, it's essential the league acts now to reinforce the rules on the books.
Now for the other headlines on a typically unpredictable weekend in the life of the NFL:
Kevin Kolb, apparently, is really good.
They love them some Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh, and he repaid his fans and his team with a game he thought was a "B-minus, C-plus.''
The Vikings are more than alive. They might be a Brett Favre/Green Bay melodrama-away from becoming the favorites in the NFC North.
There's been a Tim Tebow sighting. Came in the end zone.
In three hours, Deion Branch, still trying to get caught up on his sleep, gave the Patriots the production Randy Moss had in five weeks.
Officials don't know how to call pass interference still ... and can we end the madness and please, please, please make pass interference a 15-yard penalty and not a spot foul?
Dallas is 1-4. San Diego is 2-4. There's a new standard for despair, and those two teams are setting it.
"The Eagle Quarterback Story.'' Coming to a theater near you.
In the last two weeks, Kolb, kicked somewhat ruthlessly to the curb by the Eagles a month ago, has played out of his mind. That is to say, exactly how Andy Reid thought he'd play when the Eagles traded Donovan McNabb on Easter Sunday. Kolb's passing line in the two starts while Mike Vick recuperates from his chest injury:
Right. We all saw this coming.
Kolb completed 79 percent of his throws in the surprisingly easy 31-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday, throwing two touchdown passes to Jeremy Maclin and another to DeSean Jackson before Jackson temporarily lost memory after the monster hit by Robinson. The eight-yard TD throw to Maclin midway through the second quarter was one of the beautiful throws of this season, I thought.
With a rush beginning to get in his face, Kolb lowered his arm slot to near-sidearm and pea-shot a perfect pass to a diving Maclin in the corner of the end zone, near the pylon. "You're not gonna be able to throw the ball from the arm slot you want to all the time,'' he told me later. "You see the same kind of throws from Mike [Vick]. It's just playing football. I'll see that on film and I'll say, 'Hmmm. I didn't even know I did that. But I didn't want to get it batted down, and I knew I had to put it where only Maclin could catch it.''
He got emotional after the game when Asante Samuel -- not a coach -- gave him the game ball in the locker room. "I'm tearing up just telling you about it,'' he said. "But that's what you play for -- the respect of the guys you share the locker room with.That meant a lot to me, obviously.''
I said this on NBC last night, but it bears repeating: Vick and Kolb like each other. When Vick hugged Kolb after the game, he said to him, "I'm proud of you.'' They're in a tough spot. Both want the starting job. Neither will submarine the other. "It helps that me and Michael are so close,'' he said. "There've been times I've had to rally myself a little bit. I won't lie. It's been tough. We've just said to each other, 'Whoever's in there, let's just keep playing our butts off.''
There's no change in the starting assignment, though. Reid said Vick's still his quarterback when healthy, which could be Sunday in Tennessee, or after the bye the following week.
But as Reid has shown, his quarterback assignment is written in pencil. Stay tuned.
Sensitive Ben is back.
He's not crazy about the "Big Ben'' handle anymore. He got emotional pulling into the stadium parking lot Sunday morning, and even more emotional during the Star Spangled Banner when he looked up into the private box his father and stepmother were in, thinking of all the stuff he'd put them through in the past year or so. "That's when I got a little teary,'' Ben Roethlisberger told me last night. "I know it's been rough for them, and they've been there for me.''
Then the game. It all set up perfectly for Roethlisberger, coming back from his four-game league suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The Steelers had a bye last week, so Roethlisberger had a week to get prepared after being away for a month. The game was at home, against Cleveland and first-time Browns starter Colt McCoy at quarterback.
The natives forgot how ticked off they were at Roethlisberger for his off-field boorishness (and, allegedly, worse behavior) and showered him with cheers from the time he pulled into the Heinz Field parking lot at 10:30 Sunday morning. Then the game: 16 of 27, touchdowns to his three key targets (Mike Wallace, Hines Ward, Heath Miller), one bad pick, and 257 yards, almost double what the Steelers had been averaging through the air.
"It sounds funny, but it was great to get hit again,'' he said. "It was great to do everything -- but just to be out there playing.''
When he stepped into the huddle for the first time, Roethlisberger said nothing memorable but will remember the looks he saw around him. "Smily,'' he said. "Excited. I could tell. Nobody had to say anything.''
I thought his touchdown throw to Wallace, with linebacker Matt Roth bearing down on him, was his best moment. Roethlisberger had to slide the line over during his cadence to account for a Browns blitz. He hung in, knowing he was going to get hit. When I asked him to grade his game, he said, "B-minus, C-plus. I left a lot of throws out there.''
Now it gets harder for Roethlisberger. Sunday was the dry run for him. Now it'll get nastier, on the field and in the stands. Pittsburgh goes to Miami on Sunday, then plays three straight prime-time games -- at New Orleans on Halloween night, at Cincinnati the following Monday, Nov. 8, and at home against New England the following Sunday. Roethlisberger knows the road won't be as friendly, in all ways.

The NCAA believes in the values of diversity and inclusion. Although it has made progress in increasing the diversity of the membership and generating opportunities within intercollegiate athletics for individuals of all backgrounds, the Association's leadership recognizes there is more work to be done. The diversity and inclusion staff at the national office aims to centralize efforts concerning diversity and inclusion, serve as a point of contact for related concerns and assist the membership in developing initiatives that will lead to increased diversity and inclusion throughout intercollegiate athletics.

Leaders push to diversify college football sidelines: Participants at a session to further diversify the collegiate football coaching ranks pledged to continue a strategic assault that has led to 30 minority head coaches being hired at non-HBCU institutions in the last three years.

Football coaches selected:
Athletics directors and executive administrators selected:
The NCAA has invited football coaches, athletics directors and several speakers from the membership and the NFL to its 2011 Champion Forum, the top tier of the NCAA's coaching academy programs. The Champion Forum will be held June 16-17 in Orlando, Fla., in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) convention.
The Champion Forum features a select group of football coaches who have been identified as potential candidates for head football coaching positions at NCAA colleges or universities. The coaches, who were selected by athletics administrators, are generally ethnic minorities who have completed the NCAA Expert program.
During the Forum, the coaches, athletics directors and speakers will have time to develop professional relationships in a more informal, private setting. There will be simulated interview sessions, media training, keynote speakers, and opportunities to discuss key topics such as understanding and developing culture within their team and the athletics department and effectively engaging with the campus and academic staff after becoming a head football coach.
Through the Forum, the football coaches will have an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the search process and the steps taken by search firms and athletics directors when preparing to hire head football coaches to lead intercollegiate programs. In turn, the athletics directors and administrators will have opportunities to meet, interact and become better acquainted with the football coaches; become "champions" by assisting with the coaches' continued career growth; and broaden their outlook on potential minority head coaching prospects within the NCAA.
"The Champion Forum is instrumental because it introduces the football coaches to individuals and processes that they otherwise might not have known or been exposed to," said Robert Vowels, vice president for NCAA student-athlete affairs. "Networks are critical when seeking a head coaching position. Though we've seen some progress in minority hiring at the head coach level in football, we still attempt to expose individuals from underrepresented groups to those key networks in football because it may help balance the coaching numbers."
In addition to the Champion Forum, the NCAA Leadership Development group also administers the Future Coaches Academy for student-athletes who want to learn more about the football coaching field; the NFL-NCAA Football Coaches Academy (position coaches); and the Expert Forum (coordinators and assistant/associate head coaches). The NCAA created its Coaching Academies in 2004.
Currently, there are 18 ethnic minority coaches throughout the 120 Division I FBS schools; 10 ethnic minority coaches at the 101 Division I FCS schools; four ethnic minority coaches at the 133 Division II schools and nine ethnic minority coaches at the 229 Division III schools. The figures do not include Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

HR Owen Aston Martin Cheltenham Sales : 0333 240 3659
V12 ZagatoA legendary partnership creates a new performance icon.
With an exterior constructed from ultra-lightweight aluminium and carbon fibre composite panels and a cabin made from premium British leather, the Zagato is a work of art that embodies Aston Martin's racing heritage and commitment to quality.
The V12 Zagato is a limited edition concept car built to celebrate the 50-year link between Aston Martin and the Italian coachbuilder Zagato. 150 of these hand-made endurance racers will be produced, with deliveries starting from late 2012. Before production started the Zagato had already attracted notable accolades, winning the Concorso d'Eleganza Design Award for 2011.
The V12 Zagato has imposing looks even by Aston Martin standards, with the front profile dominated by a larger version of the characteristic wide grille. Carbon fibre front air intakes, A-pillars, diffusers and door mirror casings add to its distinctive appearance. The extensive use of this strong yet lightweight material, as well as the specially designed forged aluminium wheels, has reduced the weight of the Zagato to 1680kg.
Inside, the seats are made of Bridge of Weir leather from Renfrewshire (the same leather used for the benches of the Houses of Parliament), finished in semi-aniline to increase durability and with a hand-stitched interior trim and "Z" motifs. They are also adjustable in six different ways to provide drivers of all shapes and sizes with the best possible seating position. A satin-finished carbon fibre centre console and inlaid sill plaques (also carbon fibre) with the legend "V12 Zagato" round off the look of the cabin. The car is available in four hues exclusive to the model; Scintilla Silver, Alloro Green, Alba Blue, or Diavolo Red.
The 6.0-litre V12 engine puts a maximum of 510bhp at your disposal. With 570Nm of torque at 5750rpm, the Zagato can accelerate to 62mph from zero in 4.2 seconds. It shares the independent double-wishbone suspension of the V12 Vantage on which it is based, assuring a firm (yet forgiving) ride.
Its highly responsive steering column, along with high-grip 19" Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres and carbon ceramic brakes, means that handling is assured as well as speed. The Zagato's stability on the road is further improved by an assortment of active safety features including Dynamic Stability Control with "Track" mode, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Emergency Brake Assist, and Traction Control.

Will Meta Stack Exchange be merged with Meta Stack Overflow? Would such a merge be a good idea? A bad one?
I'd prefer changing jurisdiction as commented there, i.e. make things more consistent and less history burdened:
The only consistent alternative (IMHO) would be merging all meta sites into one, also solving the "bug reports belong on meta.SO" issues at the beta-metas at the moment. And tagging might prevent cluttering...
Doubtful at this point.
meta.se is a support site for SE 1.0.
Maybe once all the SE 1.0 sites (except for the tiny handful of "protected" ones) are decommissioned, we can do something different.
edit: we decided to make this change, as the # of living, legacy SE 1.0 sites has dwindled to a fairly small number.

Hello All,
Is it possible to create drop down menu buttons in adobe cs5 and then export to fireworks 8 as a style for pop up menu. I want my drop down menu buttons to have gradient and white borders which I cannot do in fireworks nor does it have such a style in fireworks drop down menu button.
Please see image example
any reply would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
I think this is what you are looking for: http://is.gd/dN6LUM. Note that Fireworks pop-up menus are meant to be used for prototyping rather than for actual web pages.
I didn't know about this feature!
Looks like you'll have to define a style for the button backgrounds first...
...then define the text styles within the Pop-up Menu Editor. Not sure about the white border, though; there doesn't seem to be a place for it within the Pop-up Menu Editor. I imagine that it could be applied to the containing HTML element after exporting.
Thank you so much this is exactly what I am looking for I just want to add my own style to the pop menu editor if possible.
Thank you for your reply and tips I shall look into the white border style around the button I hope it's not impossible to do.

Following a well-trodden path from Southampton to the Premier League - with Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott making successful careers for themselves since moving - Chamberlain joined Arsenal for around £12 million a week before the 2011-12 season.
Coming through the ranks at Southampton, he made his debut at 16 years and 199 days, coming off from the bench in a 5-0 victory over Huddersfield Town and became the club's second youngest ever appearance maker behind Theo Walcott.
His first and only season in the first-team saw him net nine goals and he was named in the PFA League One Team of the Year for the 2010-11 season as well. At the end of the campaign, Chamberlain admitted he wanted to move on and did not have to wait long before Arsenal made good on their long-standing interest and brought him to the Emirates.
Not long after that, at the end of his first season to be precise, he was called up to the England squad for Euro 2012 despite having never been capped before.
Strengths: Fast and confident on the ball, he likes to run at his man and has a powerful shot and a good footballing brain.
Weaknesses: He is not the biggest and can lack concentration. His youthful exhuberance can get the best of him and his lack of experience means he has to hit the ground running.
Career high: His 2010-11 season earned him his big move to Arsenal as a 17-year-old.
Career low: His debut for the England Under-21s saw him miss a good chance and lose the game 1-0 after coming on as a sub.
Style: Stocky, direct, a quick and powerful midfielder.
Quotes: "I always liked [Gianfranco] Zola because he was a smaller player like me. He was so good on the ball and could score all sorts of goals. I had his picture on my wall at home. He used to have a great partnership going with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and if I could be as good as Zola I'd be very happy indeed'' - Chamberlain on his hero and style of play
Trivia: Alex's dad, Mark, played for the likes of Portsmouth and Stoke as well as winning eight England caps, and his uncle, Neville Chamberlain, was also a professional footballer (rather than a politician).

Hill's opponent, Keith Campbell, said this week that he is discontinuing his bid for the council seat. The two were set to compete in an Oct. 9 runoff for the seat after they finished ahead of incumbent Odis Pippin in the Aug. 28 city election.
"At a time when Weaver's finances are sparse, I feel the added financial burden of holding a runoff election is unnecessary when both candidates agree on the issues," Campbell wrote in a statement. "With this in mind, I am withdrawing my name as a candidate for the Place 4 runoff election. I fully support Mr. Hill, the remaining City Council Members, and Mayor elect Wayne Willis."
The City Council must approve a certificate of election for Hill to officially become a member of the council. City Clerk Teresa Dishman said she expects the council to vote on the measure at the next meeting.
Speaking to a reporter Thursday, Campbell said he came to know Hill during the race and subsequently decided his opponent would be a great choice for the council.
"He really ran a great campaign," Campbell said. "I wish we could both be on the council."
Hill finished ahead of Campbell in the race, 279 votes to 212. Pippin had 101 votes.
Campbell said he began to consider stepping down almost immediately after the vote totals were certified this week. He announced Wednesday that he was bowing out of the race, a day after the election results were approved by the council.
"I believe that Mr. Hill and I have Weaver's best interest at heart and we both want to see improvement in our community," Campbell wrote in the statement.
Attempts Thursday to speak with Hill for this story were unsuccessful.

Used to LOVE this place but not thrilled with my last visit. Cold food had to be reheated. Apologetic staff makes me willing to try again...
it used to be good – i used to go to romeo's alot but it has declined in quality. On my most recent visit the waitstaff was pleasant but the food was bad. I had met one of the chefs prior to my bad experience and was very fond of his food. I feel he made the restaurant better however i recently found out that he is no longer there anymore. Since his departure the only remaining quality items are the cakes which he brought to romeo's from Aladdin's Eatery. He was the executive chef there and made the most wonderful food. I miss his cooking. I hope they realized what they did by letting him go
homey, italian..simple and sweet – Went here with a couple friends on valentines night without a reservation, was expecting a long wait but only waited maybe 15 minutes.. was seated in the room facing the window which I liked. I dont mind the decor at all..the grapes and the tables seem to be purposely done as an old italy time feel. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable ..we all had drafts or glasses of wine which were reasonably priced.
Tried the stuffed mushrooms-SO DELICIOUS! Also had the spinach and artichoke dip, thought it was better than most places. Tried a tiny bit of everyones dishes.. the portions were large.. My friend had a huge pizza(didnt try it but he said it was good). I had the tortellini pomodoro and that was delicious, sauce was great and was told the tortellini is made in the house each morning, was very good. My date had the pork lombardo- I want this next time, it was amazing. Also tried a bit of my friends stuffed shells and thought they were good. We shared a chocolate cream cake and it was very tasty. I've been a fan of this place for years.. I often describe it as a cute date/group spot, not too fancy.. definitely better than olive garden but not high in the ranks of such like Vespaio. It's a happy medium, and I am always happy to have italian food that is simple and traditional.
What a joke – My wife and I arrived for a 7:30 PM "reservation" (on a Saturday night) at this establishment at 7:15 PM. There were approx. 75 half drunk 20 somethings milling about the entrance area/foyer who refused to get out of the way so that we could check in. Finally, after shoving my way to the maitre d stand, I was told that it would be over an HOUR before I could be seated. The 3 employees at the maitre d stand were absolutely clueless. No member of management was conducting crowd control. They took their phone off the hook so that patrons could not call in. My wife and I were so disgusted with the experience that we just left. Obviously, these people do NOT know the difference between "open seating" and a "reservation". If standing out on the street with a bunch of drunk 20 something posers is your thing, then by all means make a "reservation" at this dump. BEWARE that you will be treated like crap when you arrive by clueless employees and an obviously amateur management team. ZERO stars ... will not go back. The whole experience was a total turnoff.
Not a Fan – Used to go to Romeo's often but over the last several months the service has really gone down hill and the food hasn't been good. Not sure if there was a change in kitchen staff or new management, but I haven't been pleased lately. They used to have such good eggplant... just hasn't been the same.
Great Atmosphere – I really to like the atmosphere in this place. Its a little old school, but the kind of place I can hang out. The food was terrific. I will definately go back
THe Best – We have been going to Romeo's for many years and always love the experience. First class food, music and service.
Just Horrible !!!! – When my wife and I arrived we had to wait for about 15 minutes before anyone even greeted us. When we did get seated it was in a terrible location and we requested another table but were told that we had to sit there because it was that servers turn in the rotation and we had to sit in his section. The place was not full at all. From then on out we were just not happy. Everything went wrong. We tried to order wine but they were out of everything we tried to order. We NEVER got our waters that we had asked for when our drinks arrived from the bar. Our appetizer came out at the same time as our food...? I could go on and on about our experience but to sum it up for you... DONT waist your time and money at Romeo's.
worst service ever experienced – I went with a friend to this resturant around 6:00 pm. It was in no way crowded . We ordered as soon as the waitress came around for the first time. We had been sitting there for 15 min and still hadn't placed a drink order. The service the whole time was on par with this. She was rude, and absent through the entire meal. We were there for 2 1/2 hours!! I have never had to wait for this amount of time for a beverage, a meal, or the check. What is so bad about this is that the food was pretty good, but I would never return to this resturant b/c of this horrible service!
Not Feelin' the Love – I went to Romeo's with a group of 6 on Valentine's Day and the experience was abysmal. I understand that it is a busy holiday for restaurants, but I truly expected more from a place that I used to love.
The service was slow (the wait was normal, but we were there for 3 hours after we were seated), the waitstaff was rude and inattentive, and the food was definitely NOT up to par.
In addition to the overall bad experience, our waitress brought us a bottle of wine that was different than what we ordered (and significantly more expensive) and when we questioned it, we were told it was not a problem and it would be fixed on our bill. Then an INCREDIBLY RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL MANAGER told us that the mistake was on our part (although the waitress admitted fault) and we were forced to pay for it.
I was truly disappointed in a place that I once loved. I will NOT be returning to this restaurant.

I'm Mama and I'm high strung… sounds like an AA meeting. I guess I've always been a little neurotic, but it got worse when the same six people kept showing up every evening, expecting to get fed.
I'm pretty organized, but even that hasn't saved me from the craziness of the Daily Dinner Dilemma. I don't like ordering take out because it is so expensive… and I can usually do it better with a lot less sodium… and so can you. That's what this site is all about: helping you get some delicious meals on the table in less than 30 minutes (hopefully), as well as making some other pretty good recipes. If you mess up like we all do, I might have some fixes or just some advice to help you avoid the same issues next time.
And, like a lot of mamas, I have a lot of opinions, which I share in The Kitchen Think. I've also thrown in some articles I've written, mostly about things with a Latino beat.

Backus wins an international award for its practice of Sustainable Development in Latin America 2011 (Translation)
12 October 2011
- Backus is one of the two Peruvian companies that have received the CEMEFI award
- The prize was awarded in the category of Management Models from the RSE
Lima, September 30, 2011 - Backus has been awarded for its "Sustainable Development Strategy and Social Corporate Investment" and was distinguished as Exemplary Practice of Business Social Responsibility in Latin America 2011 by the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI), a prestigious international institution that promotes business social responsibility.
The recognition was given at a public ceremony within the framework of the International Seminar of Better Practices of Business Social Responsibility 2011 that took place in Guadalajara, Mexico. Backus was recognised among companies in Latin America in the category of Management Models from the RSE as a result of its focus on Sustainable Development. Companies from seven countries from Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras and Peru) and from other states in the Mexican territory participated in this important event.
It is worth mentioning that Backus has been implementing these actions with the goal of generating shared value with those who are part of its operational chain and the communities in which it operates, with the goal of promoting social inclusion.
Malena Morales, Director of Sustainable Development and Corporate Matters from Backus, noted after receiving the award that "The sustainable development strategy is focused on generating not only economic results, but also social and environmental results, warranting the sustainable growth of the company, generating strategic alliances with various allies and trying to generate a positive impact for society as a whole."
This recognition is added to the recent award of Company Socially Responsible, awarded by Association Peru2021, together with AliaRSE and the CEMEFI, by the initiatives implemented in relation to four fields: Life quality in the company, business ethics, links with the community and links with the environment.
About Backus:
Union of Peruvian Breweries and Johnston is the industry leader in Peru, with five decentralised production plants in Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, Motupe and Pucallpa. It has a portfolio of well segmented national and international brands which aim to satisfy consumers at more than 150,000 selling points throughout the country. During 2010, Backus registered net sales of S/. 2,676.7 million, contributed to the treasury S/. 2,004 million and gave direct jobs to more than 1,700 people and indirect jobs to more than 220,000 people.
Backus works with a focus toward sustainable development, with the goal of generating shared value with those who are part of its production chain and the communities in which it operates. That is why all its initiatives and projects aim to generate social inclusion, create strategic alliances to favour those efforts and achieve a positive impact in economic, social and environmental terms for the society as a whole.
About the CEMEFI:
The Mexican Center for Philanthropy is a non-profit association located in Mexico City. Its area of activity covers the entire county. Its mission is to promote philanthropic participation, commitment and social responsibility of the citizens, its social organizations and businesses to reach a more equal, supportive and prosperous society.

Bucks County Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick has expressed support for Sen. Pat Toomey's gun control compromise legislation that expands background checks to guns purchased at gun shows and on the Internet, but now he wants to know his supporters' thoughts.
Here's Fitzpatrick's position: "This is a common-sense proposal that can make a real difference. As proposed, it deserves the support of the House."
The campaign has launched a survey via email and Fitzpatrick's campaign website aimed at taking constituents' opinions on the topic.
The brief questionnaire asks mostly about the provisions included in the compromise legislation offered up by Toomey and West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin. It notes the House will likely get a chance to vote on the bill.
Survey takers are asked to respond to whether they consider expanded background checks to be a gun control measure, and whether they support background checks for Internet and gun show firearms purchases.
It also asks them whether they support penalizing states for failing to forward information on criminal convictions and individuals with mental health problems to the background check system. A final question asks whether the causes of mass shootings should be studied.
"We are working hard to identify participants in every community within the 8th district as well as collecting feedback from outside the district across Pennsylvania and elsewhere. If you'd like to please register your vote and then ask your personal network of friends to do the same."
It urges recipients to share the email with at least 10 friends.
Here's a link to the survey: http://fitzpatrickforcongress.com/gun-control-survey

Comparing Bash with the Windows Vista shell
Microsoft's new PowerShell relies on .NET framework libraries and thus has access to a treasure trove of functions and objects. How does PowerShell measure up to traditional shells like Bash?
Both Bash and the Windows Vista PowerShell include commands for navigating directories, managing files, and launching other programs. System administration is an important duty for the shell, and Bash and PowerShell are equipped to help manage systems from the command prompt. Whereas Bash typically relies on a combination of newer tools and classic Unix utilities, the PowerShell has its own set of command-line programs. Windows refers to PowerShell commands as cmdlets. The PowerShell cmdlet called Get-Process is a counterpart to ps, and the cmdlet Get-Content corresponds to less. PowerShell differs significantly from previous Windows command shells. In
this article, I look at how Windows Vista PowerShell compares with Bash.
Read full article as PDF:Bash_vs._Vista_PowerShell.pdf (158.60 kB)
Re: Endlessly reasurringBut remember in Windows command names include uppercases but still, the usage is caseless. The change in command names and standard folder names, for that matter, are so predictable for the next era, because it just gets easier. For instance "Get_content" will naturally change to "MyComputer.Shell.Get_my_scrolled_content_which_i_cannot_see" No need to memorise, just type what comes naturally.
Endlessly reasurring
This kind of activity by Microsoft, if anything, continues to remind me how grateful I am that I abandoned MS OS's completely years ago and decided to work solely in Unix or Unix-like OS's.
The shell commands that I learned and used in the mid 1980's in middle-school on a university VAX system have remained largely unchanged over the last 20+ years. I actually applaud any move by Microsoft to improve their system shell. I can't understand for the life of my why they would use commands like "Get-content" when they could just improve existing commands (like "type", or whatever). Why use caps in basic shell functions? It really makes no sense. Why use an 11 character command for something with the functionality of "more", "less", or "type /p" (or whatever it is).
ah, but what can ya do?
RE: discouraging shell programming> It is funny to see how MS just rurns around... During the last 20 years MS did everything to
> discourage the usage of shell programming.
True but we are incapable of sustained error. ha ha.

It is funny to see how MS just rurns around... During the last 20 years MS did everything to discourage the usage of shell programming.
Good work.Good job comparing PowerShell and Bash. You clearly took the time to understand PowerShell and you gave it a very fair comparision given the space constraints. Your readers might be interesting in a set of next level comparisons between the two. I think you'd find areas where PowerShell does much better and much worse. I think both communities would get a lot out of that and that both communities have a lot to learn from each other. Clearly we've learned a lot from the Unix community (a number of us have Unix backgrounds) as well as from the VMS, AS400 and TCL communities (all of which have great aspects).

Comments On Mar 17, 2014:These boots offer good protection and support for the price. They have probably saved my ankles a few times. I have only been riding for about a year now and they have held up so far, however they do have some wear on the inside from kicking the bike, and as mentioned the buckles are a little difficult to unfasten. All in all though I will probably replace them with another set once these are worn out.

Comments On Dec 03, 2013:It's a budget boot, right? Well, you pay for what you get. The boots are poor quality, make shifting and breaking difficult with no feel and fat toe area, and feel awkward on. I feel like I'm wearing a snowboarding boot. Less than a year in and my buckles also failed. Save your money and buy a step up. You may find yourself hating this boot.

Comments On Aug 14, 2013:The boots were nice and they where suprisingling comfortable but I wanted more protection so ended up buying a boot that was 3 times the cost. For the price they are real nice.

Comments On Aug 17, 2013:these are horrible boots, they're way heavier then any other pair of boots ive owned, and the sides tear easily. i was riding at a track and it was the 5th time i wore these boots and my foot slid off the footpeg and ripped the side of the boot. im never buying any alpinestars again just because of that.

When Sherri was diagnosed with diabetes, she weighed 197 lbs and had to take three different medications. This was right before she started working as a co-host on The View. Now almost five years later, she's dropped about 40 pounds, and is completely off medication, managing the disease with diet and exercise.
Along the way, Sherri learned some valuable lessons about diet an exercise that, she says, can help anyone. It's all in her new book, Plan D: How to Lose Weight and Beat Diabetes (Even If You Don't Have It).
Sherri's number one tip for anyone who'd trying to start a healthy lifestyle? "You have to be forgiving of yourself and you have to be your best friend and build yourself up."
And as for exercise, which Ali hates, Sherri says, "you don't even have to go to a gym. You can turn on the music for 30 minutes and dance with your kid."Ali and Sherri discussed some of the other celebrity diet advice out there. Ali brought up Gwyneth Paltrow, who says, "I like to do fasts and detox a couple of times a year." Sherri's response? "Don't you just wanna punch Gwyneth in the mouth sometimes? This is what I hate: when you're real skinny, and you tell everybody how to eat. You do fasts and detox? No you just skinny."
To see what Sherri had to say about other celebrity diet advice, check out the video!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This was a very pretty and fun card, however I did not like the envelopes not being the same size nor color, that did not look professional to me. The card is an ivory/ecru color and envelopes were white; also even a pkg of cards/envelopes you buy @ walmart fits. That was my only disappointment."
"I ordered these invitations for a bridal shower that I was hosting. They were way beyond my expectations! Everyone was so pleased with the creativity of the designs. The invitations looked like they were more expensive than they really were. I was very satisfied with this product, and highly recommend these to anyone wanting an invitation that is far superior to any on the market!"
"The card is beautiful. The stock is substantial with a very nice coating on it. This is my second purchase, and we were extremely happy with both purchases. Keep up the good work."
"This invite impressed the couple I was holding the wedding shower for! They thought it was adorable, as did most others that received one. Design is modern and colors contrast nicely. Easy to read with a sharp, bold text."
"Ordered these for a wedding shower. Loved them. Got a confirmation on the proof the next day and they arrived 4 days before they were promised. Have just completed my second order with WeddingPaperDiva. I am expecting the same wonderful results."

Dear Amy: I have lived alone in my house for the past 15 years.
A friend of 10 years recently got divorced and needed a place to live, and since I have a three-bedroom house she asked if I wanted a roommate for about a year.
I agreed to let her move in and am charging her a minimal rent.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
I'm a smoker, which she knew and said wouldn't be a problem.
The very first night when we were watching TV, I lit a cigarette, and she informed me that she was having a problem with my smoking, so I went into another room.
She said she didn't want to put restrictions on me in my own home, and I agreed that we may have a problem.
I have an evaporative cooler that circulates fresh air and keeps the room free of smoke; I don't smoke in her presence, and I either go into my office or sit outside on the porch.
My question to you is, how much am I supposed to restrict myself, if at all?
We get along very well, and I don't want to damage the friendship. On the other hand, I want to be able to live the way I want to.
I'm considering suggesting that she get a cable hookup in her bedroom.
Is that too much to ask?
Smoking Mad
Dear Smoking: It's your home. If you want to smoke in your own home, it's your right. But because your friend is paying rent, she is a tenant and she has rights too.
You should check with a lawyer to see if you have any liability if your friend develops medical problems related to your smoking.
You seem to have taken steps to try to minimize the effect of your smoking on her, but you (and she) should know that cigarette smoke is toxic, even when you're not blowing it toward someone.
You two need to communicate clearly what you are prepared to do regarding your smoking.
She may have thought this would be tolerable before she moved in, but now that she is having a problem with your smoking, she should be given a realistic and truthful answer: That you don't intend to alter your habits all that much.
She may need to move.
Dear Amy: A male cousin on my mother's side is getting married in a few months.
My mother (his aunt), whom he has seen once every 3 to 4 years, received a call from a friend of the future bride's mother requesting that she send "a check for $125 to contribute to covering the cost of the band for the reception."

The Allentown School District certainly has had its share of public relations problems in past years, and now it has a big PR problem with its PR program.
From unfortunate decisions on hiring superintendents to even worse decisions to let an older boy sexually assault first- and second-graders in a restroom, the ASD's image has been tarnished regularly.
In an effort to scrub some of the crud off that image, the school board hired (starting salary $87,024) a whiz-bang PR expert, Keith Pierce, whose resume listed all sorts of marvelous credentials, including PR stints at the Lancaster School District and the state Department of Education.
He also headed three commercial PR firms based in Delaware County, but his tenure in Allentown was shorter than even that of the district's last superintendent (an extremely expensive 13 months).
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
Pierce was hired last week by the school board and its new superintendent, Russ Mayo, and never even got to try out his new chair when the public relations roof fell in.
A simple Google search by enterprising (some bureaucratic types might prefer the term "pain-in-the-neck") reporter Steve Esack revealed that Pierce had $14,200 in fines for ethics violations in Lancaster and Harrisburg. (ASD officials said they also had Googled Pierce, but I tried it Thursday with just his name and the Lancaster School District. Apart from items related to Esack's stories, the first thing to pop up was a previous story on his ethics problems.)
In any case, on Monday, a few days after Pierce was hired, The Morning Call published a truly annoying story by Esack, revealing details of Pierce's troubles with the state Ethics Commission in 2007, for breaking the state conflict of interest law.
While in Lancaster, it seems he spent thousands on personal pursuits, including his own karaoke business, and used district staff for other personal chores. Pierce also was cited for violating a one-year ban on lobbying after leaving the Education Department in 2004, sucking up to department officials on behalf of clients who paid one of his private companies $72,000.
On Tuesday, Esack had another story, revealing that Pierce was ordered by Mayo not to report to work, as scheduled, on Monday. "I recommend we withdraw the [job] offer," school board President Robert Smith Jr. was quoted as saying.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Pierce had resigned from his new job.
What's next? The school district hires Lindsay Lohan to spruce up its image?
We need somebody. This is a district with no shortage of black eyes.
Years ago, the school board hired a former gym teacher as superintendent.
When many high school students got the blues because they could not read or add 2 plus 2, she brought in a self-esteem wizard from California to help them feel better about themselves. That beats taking heartless actions, such as requiring students to work or getting tough on inept teachers.
Meanwhile, Allentown wound up as one of 12 school districts in Pennsylvania threatened with state takeovers because of bad academic performance. This was after the former gym teacher, for example, had 18 football coaches on the payroll at the same time she refused to buy some desperately needed books for an elementary school.
At another elementary school, officials knew about a 12-year-old predator but did not stop him from sexually assaulting younger boys in the lavatory. (The predator was a special education student, and there is great trepidation about hurting the feelings of special education students.)
When parents raised hell over the assaults, the school board and other officials stonewalled them. At school board meetings, when upset parents voiced concern and asked questions, school officials just gave deadpan stares, usually refusing to answer and without a shred of empathy.
In 2010, the school board hired former state Education Secretary Gerald Zahorchak as superintendent. He hatched a plan to get rid of 247 teachers but refused to touch anybody on his vast administrative staff. One solution to the teacher shortage was to have social studies "rolled into reading classes," even if a reading teacher did not know Gettysburg from third base.
Around that same time, we learned that a third of the students at Allentown's two high schools were failing to graduate.
To cheer us up, Zahorchak quit last year, after 13 months on the job, but the school board let him take his $195,000 salary with him, plus a $50,000 cash bonus for … well, I'm not exactly sure what it was for.
One of the few pieces of good news came in May, when the Greater Johnston School Board hired Zahorchak, taking Allentown taxpayers off the hook for the rest of his $195,000 salary here.
Now, some points raised by Wednesday's story about Pierce suggest the ASD may have a worse PR problem than ever.
Board President Smith, it was reported, said he did not know if Pierce would have been recommended for the job if he'd been honest about the ethics violations, but might have been given it anyway. "Everyone learned a valuable lesson," Smith said.
A valuable lesson? The lesson is this: If those who feed at the public trough think they can get away with bamboozling the public, they will try it every time.
