I'm not sure that Pete Wells what is trying to say in his most recent piece in the New York Times.
Last week's episode of "Top Chef" ended in a volley of profanity, as half the contestants cursed the other half.
The first line of an article about the chef David Chang in The New Yorker last month contained a profane quotation from Mr. Chang. So did the last line. So did many of the lines in between.
But even Mr. Chang at his most vivid comes across as an instructor at vacation Bible school compared with Gordon Ramsay. On his shows "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares," Mr. Ramsay leaps outside the bounds of broadcasting rules so often that the Web site Television Without Pity begins its summaries of each episode with something it calls (give or take a word here or there) Gordon Ramsay's Bleep-O-Meter.
The issue from my point of view (and as Mr. Wells alludes to), is less about the chefs, and more about the media that allows and highlights the colorful vocabulary. At some point in the past ten years, highlighting the machismo and the aggressiveness of the folks in the back of the restaurant. The question is, why the change?
Perhaps it's because of the aura of the 5 star chefs over the previous generation, where the kitchens were perceived as the pinnacle of perfection. This aura included, not just the food, but the professionalism of the staff.
Since the time of the arrival of Anthony Bourdain's book Kitchen Confidential, this has aura has been changed. Now it seems as if there's this expectation of colrful characters making the food.
My guess (and it is a guess, having not been in the back of a restaurant in almost twenty years now), is that the reality is somewhere in between the two extremes. As with every profession, you'll have bullies and professionals. What the press seems to want to promote is the former, while the latter still work in relative obscurity.
But are chefs too profane? *shrugs*. Does it matter? Are rock stars too profane? Cabbies? Steel Workers? I'm not sure why the question is relevant.

a song comes to mind 'walk a mile in MY shoes'
Hai folks,
Yesterday, as i went to visit my mother in law, i (accidently ) talked about me hang out on elvis forum over the internet, she suddenly gave statement like " I dont understand how come some people so obsessed with elvis, the man is dead for godsake "
I am not thinking any better answer to that, since some people just have no idea how special our man is, and always will be.
To that ,..i put this as a discussion,...Have any of you called as being weird , odd, obssessed by someone who is close to about your loved and admiration to the king of rock n' roll Elvis Presley ?
Feel free to post it here.
Thanks in advance ,

I have been luck in the fact that my mother is a huge Elvis fan, so I grew up with his music all my life. I also have an aunt who is a fan. My aunt attended the infamous New Years Eve concert in Pittsburgh in '76 and my mother was luck enough to see Elvis live twice in the 70's.
However I have encountered the are you crazy syndrome..my wife (who is ten years younger than I am) and her 3 daughters don't understand my Elvis addiction LOL, although the middle daughter (she is ten) says she doesn't like Elvis can tell me when and what song is playing, so there is progress.
I just consider the source when it comes to comments about Elvis and how can I this or that about Elvis, especially consideing some of theses "so-called" artists that are popular today as John Lennon said "Before Elvis there was nothing" so if it wasn't for the man that all these people frown and make fun of, there woudn't be anything..Just my opinion
yes i have. all the time. what i really hate is when someone say to me hes dead like i didnt know
In my early years as a fan I was smiled upon and told it would not last ...well 40 years later they just smile. I got to admit I am not the rabid type and I no longer get into arguments about who or what is the "best" - I listen to a lot of non Elvis music too - so to each his own.
Ever hear someone ask why do you like Beethoven( I like a few of his Symphonies - and boy did Elvis ever murder the "Moonlight Sonata" )- he's been dead for what 300 years ?
my wife say's the same thing to me too,(he"s dead already get over it)i only wish she could feel the joy and sorrow that i feel for elvis.she say's i got a problem and i should seek help(LOL) if putting on a cd or dvd makes me feel better about my day then SCREW HER(LOL) ELVIS IS FOREVER.
You can compare "coming out as an Elvis fan" to "admitting you read the gossip magazines". NOBODY IS or DOES it, but EVERYBODY knows about it
It is amazing how much people, who claim they do not like Elvis, know about him (besides the stuff they always start with "Wasn't he fat, on drugs, died on the john, hahaha" ) like song titles, or even lyrics.
I think as long as you practice your fandom with moderation, people won't think of you as weird, not even when you continue being a fan of someone long after they're dead. But because the media, like around Elvis week, often focus in on the fans who for instance try to emulate Elvis and Priscilla's looks from the sixties (while in reality they're fat middle aged, unattractive, but sincere people), that's what the general public often perceives ALL the Elvis fans to be like
I think at the 25th anniversary of his passing, the news over here for the first time showed mostly the young, the new and the more "normal" fans i.e. not the ones who go overboard in the "exterior" showing of whose fan they are. I found it refreshing and finally more accurate than what had been shown all those previous years.
The way people tend to perceive things is usually only a response to (the excesses of) what they are shown.......
yes thats true jb , i mean if some people so addict with beethoven, bach or such, people wont be so mean to them by calling it as obsessed , but when elvis fan talk about the man, we all call as weird.
i think its down to the freaky impersonators popping up everywhere .They see weird people like these then when you tell them your a fan kinda think you actually like that kinda thing (the impersonators)
well spoken words. I think that the people who make fun of or don't understand the Elvis obsession? LOL are either living in a cave or jealous. jealous that they can never be or will never leave a mark on this world such as Elvis did and continues to do. And you are so right about the media, especially with yound people...most young people today preceive Elvis as an old fat, druggie, who died on the john because of the media and what they chose to cover and not cover..when was the last time you saw a story in the media about Elvis' generosity, or his love for his parents, friends, family, or what his true contribution to music was and is? I get a real laugh out of people who tell me about this great new song they have heard by so and so, only to find out it is an Elvis song that someone re-recorded.....just my 2 cents worth.
I had only my kid and husband strange looking when I showed them the rest of the candle we used during the Candlelight Vigil, and I was declared crazy when I showed them the leaf I had taken from the gravesite.
without a song, a man ain't got a friend,
without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.
After reading everyone respons, i dont think just because we love to talk about the Elvis,doesnt mean we are obssesed, the word obssessed sounds like mentally insane,..such as you dressed up like elvis, those impersonaters or you won't marry anybody unless he looklike Elvis
( i heard that it happen in Australia, ) ..thanks for all the response, Cherokee,jbgude,E.L.V.I.S Aron, Elvisgirl, P.S Annie,ledart,and Elvis42.
When you tell people you are an Elvis fan they expect you to dress up in a jumpsuit in your spare time, curling your lip saying "Thankyouverymuch".
When I met one of my wife' s work mates for the first time she said "He looks too normal to be an Elvis fan" I'm stillt rying to puzzle that one out!!
"When You Let Your Head get Too Big, It'll Break your Neck" Elvis Presley.
There are people who overdo anything, so sometimes people think you are weird for being an Elvis fan. I feel sorry for them. I would hate not being able to appreciate the greatest entertainer that ever lived, IMHO. His music will never die.
I couldn't care less what people think of me liking Elvis.
When they have a go at him in front of me I look at them in shock horror and tell them 'That's blasphemy!'
Seriously it isn't an issue for me
LOL, julieann!
quinn, I totally relate to your sentiment of feeling sorry for those who just don't get it.
If it's someone you do care about, how concerned are you all about persuading them that they're the insane ones? Do you make those people CDs to try to open their eyes to what they've been missing, or just let them go on in their blissful ignorance?
...you won't forget me when I go.
Thats certainly how it is now...and has been for many years. It wasn't when i was younger. If you were an Elvis fan they would say you were weird. He wasn't the in thing back then...BIG TIMEOriginally Posted by julieann
Sure, you had some people that would be open minded...but at school in particular i used to get into alot of trouble over Elvis.
Bad mouthing...laughing...every day..and alot of the time i would react and be in bother again So much so that in my few years in college i didn't even tell anyone i was an Elvis fan....now how sad is that
As the years have gone by have mellowed and now couldn't care less either. In the car i will have Elvis blasting out wherever i go. I still get the looks. but now i just laugh......after all, if they can't see what they are missing...i think that they are the sad one's

Hundreds of fans with flowers and flags flocked to the airport to congratulate Team Russia.
There were no cars after Beijing. Dementieva remembers the people and their "sea of flowers" at Sheremetyevo...
But Lenochka did receive the Order of Honor.
No no they are not. In this case I will say all governments in the world are corrupted.
It is unfair to accuse ones and not accuse others.
Each government has its interests in the world and defend them.
Russia now has a total of 82 Medals, behind China's 87. Neither at Beijing nor here has Russia ever expected a higher total, yet the day is not over & there may be more.
Russia has 24 Golds, behind the home country's 29.
There is actually NOTHING WRONG with this outcome. Any want to engage in silliness that Russia should equal the counts of the former USSR entire? No you don't, because I'll add up the total for the Republics, broken down by color & show combined results likely overwhelming either US & China.
I prefer to give the independent credit all nations deserve.
Since I asked about the Russian 'decline', they won another 13 gold medals!! No question that team GB'S HOME ADVANTAGE AND LOTTERY FUNDING stopped russia from finishing in third place, even allowing for the USSR 'split'. So a good result in the end. And the rythmic gynastics and synchronised swimmers are bloody ace!!!
Alright i'm not trying to hate or be disrespectful, but when did the Maria Sharapova fansite become a Russian fansite? I am not against Russia, but this site should focus on Maria. We should all be respectful of each others different nationalities.
The problem, Shelby, is there have always been those who appear here who are NOT respectful of Masha's national identity. One would think that will end now, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
I understand that, Maria is Russian and it needs to be respected. Case closed
You should read more often the articles about OCCUPY in the usa. Do you think the usa is the ideal country? where there is no poor people.
The fact that Maria Sharapova lives in the usa doesn't mean that is the best country in the world. I know many famous athletes who live in Europe.
In the USA many people have no retirement so they work until the end of their life with no money to cure themself. They have no vacations. They just have a flag when it is cold outside.
It is not the same in Europe and Hollande where there are a lot of social helps for people.
I don't say that Russia is the best country in the world but each country in the world has its own trouble.
So the goverments should solve them. Please don't think that the capitalism is the ideal model. Capitalism is also a very wild and selfish system.
Do you think corruption doesn't exist in the capitalist world? You make me lol.
It is an old story of 2009 but I prefer to remember it here.
Detroit — Ex-Detroit Red Wing great Sergei Fedorov says a money manager owes him $60 million after embezzling from him during the past 11 years, according to documents filed today in Wayne County Circuit Court
That's a perfectly good description of the USA today, Brebis, including the "election" charade being run right now.
Hernando is right though--we got several threads for politics in General Chat.
boney: I AM a friend of Russia & will say so wherever I please. That Yanks bitch about it around the Net, in places I never go, just makes my point & gratifies me.
(You do know "Boney M" is the name of a great band who built their career in Europe in the 70s because they couldn't get a fair chance in the Amerikaan shithole?)
The award ceremony took place at the Alexander Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace on Tuesday.
Olesya Vladykina, Alexei Labzin, Konstantin Lysenkov, Alexander Nevolin-Svetov, and Yelena Pautova were awarded with Orders of Honor.
37 Paralympians, including swimmer Oksana Savchenko, who won five gold medals and set four world records, were decorated with Orders of Friendship.
Team Russia scored second in the unofficial medal count losing to China.
Russian Paralympians back to Moscow
The Russian Paralympic team has returned to Moscow.
Russia was second at the Paralympic Games in London, having won 102 medals, including 36 gold, 38 silver and 28 bronze ones.
Medvedev congratulates Russian Paralympic sportsmen
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has congratulated Russian Paralympic sportsmen on their successful performance at the London Games.
The Russian team has won 36 gold medals and become second in the medal count after China.
The Russian sportsmen have also won 38 silver and 28 bronze medals. This is the highest achievement of the Russian team in the entire history of their performance at Paralympic Games.
The prime minister called this result a brilliant evidence of Russian sportsmen's courage, toughness and will.

Paralympic team of Russia was the best in football. They won gold medals and offered the 36th gold medal to Russia by defeating Ukraine.
Russian athletes start preparing for the Rio de Janeiro Paralympics
Athletes have not taken rest yet after the triumphal performances in London, but are starting preparations for the next Games. For the sake of joining the national team, they will have to go through four years of persistent training and compete at international competitions. Only the strongest will be selected. Two-time Paralympic swimming champion Olesya Vladykina believes that despite her having won gold, silver and bronze medals, she will have to compete with young but potentially strong swimmers if she wants to join the national team once again. There will be no concessions, she says.
"If I make this mad choice, it will be my third Paralympics. I will take part only in basic events. I would like to go to Rio de Janeiro which is a very beautiful city. I have already been there. The selection of athletes has become tougher. The key task of the experienced and the young sportsmen is to join the national team. We are competing for a place on the team at the same level," Olesya Vladykina said.
Sportsmen have requested not to make concessions for them at the selection. This is real sport and the strongest must win. Russian athletes hope for pressing away Chinese sportsmen at the podium. Practically, every Russian athlete who won gold set a world record, says Sergei Punko who won a full set of medals in London in different swimming events.
"We will hardly be able to top the list in the quantity of medals but in quality we can. There is a need to do a lot of work and promote Paralympic sports in the regions. If we can do this we will win more medals," Sergei Punko said.
Victory is not the main thing for Paralympic athletes. In every event, they showed the world that they have unlimited capabilities. In the past years, the attitude towards them has significantly improved. And this is the main victory. At present, advertisements are made with the participation of some of these athletes, says Olesya Vladykina who lost a hand in a car accident.
"Before the London Games, I was offered to be photographed for glamour magazines, a project which was not accessible for Paralympic sportsmen in the past. People receive us, understand us and are ready to see us, and we are respected and admired. This is great. Paralympic sportsmen have many things to teach people and make them think. I would like to see that people do not turn away from us," Olesya Vladykina added.
People do not turn away from them, of course. At the London Games, practically all stadiums were full of fans. Thousands of people came to support athletes to the fan-zones. Sportsmen say that they have never seen such an attitude. Such an active support shocked the athletes in the beginning, but later, it helped them to win medals.

A Philippi man is being held in lieu of a $150,000 cash-only bond in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail after being arraigned in Barbour County Magistrate Court on second-degree murder charges.
Charles Joseph Marsh, 33, of 340 Dogwood St., was taken into custody Thursday following a warrant for his arrest, according to magistrate clerk Sandra Skidmore. He is accused of killing Gregory E. Durst during a bar fight at a tavern in Barbour County on Oct. 13.
Durst allegedly was knocked unconscious after he was struck in the head with a beer bottle by Marsh, causing severe facial fractures, according to the criminal complaint in magistrate court. Durst died Oct. 23 as a result of the injuries, the complaint stated.
Article Photos
Sgt. R.T. Deffett responded to a 911 call about a fight at the Double Deuce Tavern in the Meadowville area of Barbour County, according to the criminal complaint. Deffett observed Durst lying on the tavern floor unconscious, and allegedly was told that Durst had been struck with Marsh's fist, which held the beer bottle. Durst reportedly fell to the floor after being struck, causing him to receive additional head trauma. He never regained consciousness, according to the complaint.
Marsh was not present at the tavern when Deffett arrived, according to the complaint.

As he lay on his death bed, former president Zachary Taylor uttered his last words: "I regret nothing."
Well Dan Mullen basically threw out a big ol' ditto when asked about his recruitment of controversial ex-Auburn superstar Cam Newton. MSU's coach had mixed emotions when he recently discussed the situation with Brandon Marcello of The Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
"I don't regret how we handled his recruiting situation at all. How the situation kind of stained almost everybody, I don't like that, because I care about Cam a lot. I'm proud of him and I'm happy for all of the things he's accomplished."
Mullen says he knows he'll see Newton again at some point and that their relationship will still be okey-dokey. "Like I said, if Cam called me today and said, 'Coach, I need a favor,' in a heartbeat I'd do whatever I could to help him as a former player. I've always thought we were very, very close. In my opinion, nothing has changed in my feelings toward him. I don't feel any different today."
As for his old boss Urban Meyer's recent comments about the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is college football, Mullen said little. "He's allowed to talk a little bit more freely because now he's paid give his opinion. I'm paid to monitor our program and one of the things we try to do at Mississippi State is make sure we are doing everything the right way. … I can't really worry about other programs. If people are doing things better than us, we're always going to try to improve and do things better but we're always going to do things legally and do things ethically the right way."
All this in light of the fact HBO is digging around MSU's pursuit of Newton for an investigative piece on it's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumble" franchise. Mullen says he's not been contacted by HBO about the report.
As for doing things ethically, Mullen better hope there's no truth to the rumors that Newton "handler" Kenny Rogers has an audio tape that would shine a bad light on MSU's involvement in Newton's recruitment.

Cessna to Cut 700 Jobs in Wichita
The layoffs will come from the company's hourly and salaried workers.
Cessna Aircraft told employees Tuesday that the company will cut 700 jobs — 11 percent of its work force — as weakness in new aircraft orders continues.
The layoffs will come from the company's hourly and salaried workers, said Cessna spokesman Bob Stangarone. All of the job losses will be in Wichita.
There are no details on when 60-day notices will be issued, he said.
The news came three days after Machinists union members at Cessna voted down a strike and accepted Cessna's seven-year labor contract by default.
The layoffs were expected, said Marty Reicher, a sheet metal mechanic at Cessna for 13 years. There had been rumors on the plant floor for several weeks. But Reicher said he still couldn't believe the announcement was made so soon after the contract vote.
"We were feeling bad enough about accepting that contract," he said. "Now they're just kicking us while we're down."
The contract vote had nothing to do with the announcement, Stangarone said.
"We face enormous cost pressures from the market in what a customer is willing to pay for an aircraft, and from the competition where some (manufacturers) have significant labor cost advantage," Stangarone said.
"To get our company in line with economic reality, we are doing a number of things to reduce our costs across the board."
CEO Jack Pelton notified employees in a letter about the cuts and the need to adjust Cessna's production schedule downward.
"The gains made in the first half of the year in the global economy have stalled, and Cessna's performance continues to mirror the lackluster economy," Pelton said in the letter.
"While cancellations have slowed, the recovery and growth we expected to see throughout the year have not materialized, and the timing of any recovery remains uncertain."
Cessna employs 8,600 workers, including 6,200 in Wichita. That figure is down about half from November 2008 when Cessna employed 16,000, including 12,000 in Wichita.
Since late 2008, Wichita's aviation industry has lost more than 12,000 jobs.
Everyone is nervous, Reicher said, because people don't know yet which job classifications are going to be affected.
Some of his colleagues said Tuesday that maybe it's a good thing the union didn't strike. Getting a layoff notice in the mail while on strike "would have been even worse," Reicher said.
Teresa Vasquez, a 36-year employee who works in tooling, is worried about jobs, and not only from the economic downturn. Cessna is moving work to Mexico.
"The company continues to dismantle Cessna piece by piece," Vasquez said.
"The governor (and) Washington has to step in and try to save aviation," she said. "They're continually moving work out that will never come back."
Cessna has recalled about 500 people this year, said Steve Rooney, Machinists union District 70 directing business representative.
Some of the 500 are hourly workers represented by the union.
"Some just recently walked back in the door within the last month," Rooney said.
The layoffs are disappointing, he said, considering the union accepted a contract by default to help the company remain competitive.
"Obviously, it isn't enough with the announcement of them laying off 700 people," he said.
Cessna must continue to lower its cost structure to remain competitive, Pelton said.
Textron, Cessna's parent company, issued a statement Tuesday saying it's seeing solid performance in most of its other businesses, but it has not yet seen a discernible improvement in business jet order activity.

Altru Ambulances Stopping At Some GF Red LightsAltru Ambulances have temporarily lost the ability to change some traffic lights in Grand Forks. The issue stems from updated equipment Grand Forks recently installed that switches stop lights to green as emergency vehicles respond to calls.
By: David Schwab, WDAZ
Emergency Vehicles shorten response times by sending a signal to change traffic lights in front of them to green. But Altru Ambulance drivers started to notice recently that it wasn't working at some intersections.
Art Culver / Altru Ambulance Supervisor : "It does decrease our response times. We have to slow down and stop at that red light and make sure they see us with our lights flashing and then creep through the intersection. "
Currently there are 26 traffic light controled intersections where ambulances cannot control the the light. This is where the city of Grand Forks recently updated the signals with a GPS system. They city was hoping to keep the old system working as well but found out mid April that it wouldn't be possible.
Jane Williams/Grand Forks Traffic Engineer: "Shortly after that we notified Altru to let them know. We were going to be changing it out. Some of them, not all of them. "
Altru has ordered the new equipment for their ambulances but have not yet received it. Altru Ambulance supervisor Art Culver says they could have used more time for the switch.
Art Culver: "I really didn't get to why we didn't get involve in this a little sooner. "
Jane Williams: "Before those were all changed out we sent the a letter to let them know. They had called us. I had sent them information on who to contact and where to buy the equipment and everything. So that did happen way before that happened."
Culver is hoping the new equipment arrives soon. In the mean time Altru Ambulance and the city are asking drivers to be extra cautious when they hear an ambulance siren near an intersection.
Art Culver: "The public is accustomed that when an emergency vehicle is coming the light will turn green for us, red for them. Now what they are noticing is the lights are not changing."
All of the Grand Forks fire trucks have been equiped with the new GPS signal system. Over the next few years they city hopes to have the new system at all intersections.

April 20, 2014
After spending the past two college baseball seasons as Virginia's double-play combination, Chris Taylor and Keith Werman are teammates again in the Seattle Mariners' farm system.
According to the team's website, Werman has been added to the roster of the Everett Aquasox, the Mariners' Class-A team. One of his new teammates with the Aquasox is Taylor, who has been playing with Everett since signing with the Mariners.
Werman, who signed with Seattle after going undrafted last month, had been playing for the Mariners' rookie ball team in Arizona before his promotion. In 14 games, the second baseman hit .297 with two RBI and five runs scored.
Taylor was the Mariners' fifth round pick in last month's draft. Entering Tuesday night, the shortstop was hitting .315 in 31 games with the Aquasox, with a pair of homers and 17 RBI. He also led the team in runs (25), doubles (10), and walks (20).

PLC could yield TLC for scores
By Max Hrenda
Although school security and consolidation are the hot topics in education right now, the county's Education Committee chose to focus primarily on … education.
During his presentation to the committee on Wednesday morning, Interim Director of Schools Kevin Ward discussed his plan to alter the way Carter County Schools handles its students.
"This is, along with the security, the top priority of the school system," Ward said. "We are looking at doing things differently to try to improve test scores."
When Committee Chairman Steve Lowrance asked about the current state of the students' test scores, Ward said there had been some improvements, but not enough for the school system's liking.
"We saw some areas in which we had been stronger than in the past," Ward said. "What we're wanting is to see a steady improvement on a yearly basis in all areas."
To that end, Ward said he plans to implement a new policy that would reconstruct the way the school system approaches education.
This program, known as the Professional Learning Community, operates on the idea that teachers, principals, and administrators increase their effectiveness through enhanced communication and collaborative efforts.
According to the non-profit think-tank SEDL – Social/Emotional Development & Learning – "the professional learning community is seen as a powerful staff development approach and a potent strategy for school change and improvement."
"I am sold on PLCs," Ward said. "If we implement this program right, we would see an increase in test scores throughout our county. There is no doubt in my mind."
By its nature, a PLC has several different methods of implementation. For Carter County Schools, the PLC would involve the formation of several groups of teachers and administrators within the schools themselves, to foster communication and supportive relationships.

great shoes!!
It is very rarely that i try on a pair of shoes and immediately buy a second pair in another color... This is a really comfy great looking shoe, super cute. I ordered a pair in brown and it arrived quickly, I tried it on and immediately got on the computer to order a second pair in black. I love my original crocs and my crocs sandals but I've been disappointed with a pair or two of their shoes. Not this time!

Too Bad
I really love the look of this shoe and couldn't wait to receive it. Unfortunately it was the most uncomfortably moccasin I have ever had on my foot. It would have been a great shoe for the cooler Florida winter days with jeans, but I had to return them. The shoe was so short and tight on my toes that I could not wear them. The other pair of shoes I ordered at the same time had to be returned and they too were closed toe shoes that were also too tight on my toes to be worn.

CAA Swimming and Diving Honors – Nov. 20
RICHMOND, Va. (Nov. 20, 2012) - Old Dominion's Sidni Hoxha has been named the CAA Men's Swimmer of the Week, while the Monarchs' Kimberley Rashleigh has been selected as the CAA Women's Swimmer of the week. JMU's Kimberly Helfrich has been honored as the CAA Women's Diver of the Week, while George Mason's John Schmitz has been tabbed as the CAA Men's Diver of the Week.
Hoxha had an outstanding weekend for the Monarchs, breaking school records in the 100 and 200 freestyle events at the Nike Cup in Chapel Hill, N.C. On the first day of competition, he won the 50 yard freestyle championship with a time of 19.9 seconds, which qualified him for the NCAA B-cut and made him eligible for the NCAA Championship. On the second day of competition, Hoxha took second in the 200 free with a time of 1:37.55, setting a new school record. Both times in the 100 and 200 free were also the top times recorded in the CAA this season.
Rashleigh posted a strong weekend at the Nike Cup for the Monarchs highlighted by a first-place finish in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:59.53. She set a school record in the 200 freestyle when she swam the first leg of the 800 yard freestyle relay in 1:49.62. Rashleigh also posted a time of 2:01 in the 200 IM final that qualified her to be eligible for the NCAA Championship in March. Rashleigh finished her weekend by winning the 400 IM with a time of 4:14.26 on the second day of competition. Her times in the 200 free, 400 IM and 200 IM were the fastest times recorded in the CAA this season.
Helfrich picks up her fourth Women's Diver of the Week honor after capturing first place in the one-meter dive at the Nike Cup. She finished with a score of 302.75 in the one-meter dive, and was the only diver to break 300 points in the event. Helfrich went into the finals of the 1-meter in fourth with a preliminary score of 264.45, and rallied to collect the first-place finish. She also took home second place in the three-meter dive with a score of 307.10.
Schmitz takes home his second Men's Diver of the Week award after a second-place finish in the one-meter dive at the Patriot Invitational last weekend. He tallied a score of 272.10 en route to earning the second place nod, while also finishing with a score of 222.80 in the three meter dive to earn a seventh place finish.

Destination Guide: Delhi
Bustling bazaars, Moghul-era majesty and modern tree-lined boulevards
Get ready for a sensory overload in India's capital. Plunge into the teeming labyrinth of Delhi's old city, then enjoy the contrast of the elegant, Lutyens-designed order of colonial-era New Delhi.
Food and Drink
Quality Indian food from international restaurants to relaxed eateries. For a little colonial luxury, treat yourself to afternoon tea on the lawns of the art-deco Imperial Hotel on Janpath. Connaught Place (CP to locals) is full of inexpensive places to eat good Indian food. Track down Karim's near the Jama Masjid for mouth-watering tandoori and Mughlai dishes or snack on huge masala dosas in old Delhi.
Sightseeing and relaxation
Discover centuries of Empire from Moghul to the British Raj. See Moghul power at its height in Delhi's highlight - Emperor Shah Jahan's 17th-century Red Fort, before losing yourself in the frenetic bazaars off Chandni Chowk. Take a taxi tour (or auto-rickshaw for the brave!) of colonial New Delhi's elegant boulevards to see India Gate and Parliament House.

Hundreds seen at risk in meningitis outbreak
NEW YORK — The potential scope of the meningitis outbreak that has killed at least five people widened dramatically Thursday as health officials warned that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients who got steroid back injections in 23 states could be at risk.
Clinics and medical centers rushed to contact patients who may have received the apparently fungus-contaminated shots. And the Food and Drug Administration urged doctors not to use any products at all from the Massachusetts pharmacy that supplied the suspect steroid solution.

Houston >Bars & Clubs > Hans' Bierhaus
2523 Quenby, Houston, TX | Directions 7700529.721223 -95.417828
Neighborhoods: South Central, University Place
Citysearch Editorial Review – On the outskirts of Rice Village, Hans' low slung building strung with Christmas lights houses 50 draft beers and more by the bottle. The snug interior of the converted house is outfitted with a few neon beer signs and an internet jukebox but most of the action happens on the sprawling back patio. If you don't feel like convincing the rowdy patrons hogging the bocce court to let you have a turn, there are still plenty of picnic tables and a shady willow tree to enjoy a drink under. The crowd is a mix of the well-dressed leaking out from nearby Woodrows and Brian O'Neills and a crew of regulars that are always the last to be pried out of the bar at closing.
Good Place for Casual Fundraisers – Recently, they hosted a dog fundraiser, and the pet owners and dogs had a great time. Hang out in the backyard, and you'll feel like you are in Austin.
The owner was very nice, and his bartenders look like huge bouncers.
They do not have drink specials on Sundays.
If you are a bathroom snob, this place is not for you.
Great Beers & Wonderful Music! – I love Hans Bier Haus! The owner, Bill Cave, greets his guests by name and makes them feel right at home. Recently, there was a fabulous 10 piece band playing featuring tunes from the Big Band era. The event was catered affair and close to 7:00pm a sudden flood of water came pouring down from the condos next door. Residents had turned a water hose on and tried to destroy the band equipment. and soak the patrons. This sudden attack left several of us dripping wet. In speaking with other guests I found out that this is the third such attack on Hans. Several residents of the condo complex have been harassing patrons of Hans by throwing eggs, flooding the open air Bier garden and most distrubing targeting individuals with laser sights. I researched the public records and found that a few residents next door have called the police 64 times in the past year for various compliants. What a waste of the police resources.
My take on this is that a few individuals that moved next to a bar are suddenly suprised they are next door to a bar. A bar that has been in the Kirby area for many years and hosts one of the largest Bocce Bar tournaments annually. Bill Cave and Paul Kellog have long been supporters of local charity organizations and contributed to many of the golf tournaments I've managed through the years in Houston. Their annual entry into the Art Car Parade is inspired and quirky..somewhat like the owners.
Despite the neighbors, Hans is a fantastic place to hang out and have a beer and a great place to listen to a variety of music styles.
Houstons Best Beer Bar – Hans Bierhaus is a lovely place for friends or romantics to enjoy ice cold beer, laughs, and a warm breeze on the relaxing patio.
I meet new friends each visit to Hans. Its also great for business networking if you must, but keep it to a minimum.
The patrons and staff alike are always friendly and outgoing. I have also enjoyed myself at Hans. The ladies are treated with respect and the staff are very attentive.
Editorial Review – Easy-going tavern in southwest Houston boasts a large beer garden, a bocce court, 21 beers on tap and an extensive wine list.

Osborne shares his formula for living a good life Tom Osborne prepares to autograph copies of his book for Ric and Kay Rasmussen of Vermillion, and their children Erin and Jason. by David Lias "How do you do this?"
It was a simple question, asked by one of Nebraska's favorite sons to a woman working in the midst of poverty and death.
The response Tom Osborne of University of Nebraska Cornhusker fame received from a humble Roman Catholic nun still lives with him today, and likely will always play a part in his daily life.
Osborne spoke Thursday to a capacity audience of 500 in the Wayne S. Knutson Theatre on The University of South Dakota campus.
Four years ago, Osborne visited a home in Haiti established by Mother Teresa. A small staff of nuns cared for dying children, from infants to age 3.
"Most of them were AIDS babies, and none of them were going to live," Osborne said.
Sustained by discipline
One of the sisters was from Canada, and spoke English. While she was taking a five minute break, Osborne, who had not yet retired from coaching at Nebraska, approached her.
"I know you just took your vows, I know you're not going to be back to Canada for 10 years, I know you work seven days a week and I know you lose 100 percent of your patients," Osborne said to her. "I know a little bit about losing, but how in the world can you do this? It doesn't seem like it's humanly possible."
"We have three hours a day that we are able to spend in personal devotions, and so we spend that time in prayer and meditation and Scriptures and good worship," the nun replied, "and that's what sustains us. That discipline is what carries us forward."
Thursday night, standing before an audience ranging from university students to Vermillion residents of his generation, Osborne spoke of how important it is for everyone to nurture personal discipline, character and honesty.
At the start of every football season at Nebraska, the Cornhuskers were one of 114 teams in Division 1A. During his coaching career, there were usually always up to 15 other college football teams that were good enough to be championship contenders.
"Over the years, I've thought about what separates those teams that have potential, and those that don't," Osborne said. "The longer I was in coaching, the more I realized that the distinguishing factor wasn't what you would think. It wasn't height, weight and speed, it wasn't athletic ability, it wasn't how smart the coaches were.
"It simply revolved primarily around issues of character," he added. "It seemed that those teams that exemplified the most attributes that had to do
Continued on
page 8A
with character were usually the ones that were able to be successful."
Character does count
The coach-turned-political candidate said many of the things that people in today's society chase after probably aren't as important as they would like to think.
"In the final analysis, when you reach the end of the rope, the most important thing about you will be your character," he said.
Osborne said he was alarmed about the results of a recent survey that indicates up to 70 percent of American adults say there is no correlation between private behavior and job performance.
"Essentially what that poll says, when you think about it, is that character doesn't count," he said. "What they're saying is that your private life, what your character is, has no relation to how you do you job."
Chalk up character as part of the formula for Nebraska's football success, Osborne said.
Strong work ethic
"I think someone who has sound character, someone who has the character traits that you are looking for, is someone who will pay a price and will work hard," Osborne said.
The retired coach said he wished he could say it was his idea to make his players work hard, but it wasn't. They did it on their own.
"About half of our players were walk-ons," Osborne said. "A walk-on player is someone who comes to your program without a scholarship and simply by effort and sheer discipline is trying to get a place on the team.
"And so, by definition, these guys were over-achievers," he added. "And they will pay a great price."
This formula for success isn't limited only to college football players.
"I don't care whether you are in music or academics, if you're in the school of business, if you're interested in spiritual growth or if you're interested in being a great athlete, you have to pay a price," Osborne said. "And it's not a sometime thing, it's an all-the-time thing."
Osborne said an important component of character is honesty.
"Honesty has to do with trust, and I guess if a player ever lied to me, I would never trust him again," he said. "The point is, once somebody breaks that trust with you, once they lie to you, you never know when they're going to do it again."
Osborne said he is sure his football players at Nebraska would have felt the same way if he would have intentionally misled them.
"A great organization � I don't care whether it's a football team or a family or a business � is based upon trust," he said. "If you can't trust your leaders, if you can't trust the people you work with, if you can't trust the people who follow you, you've got a problem."
Part of the success of the Cornhusker football program, Osborne said, is that people trust in the system.
"We lost some players because we didn't tell them what they wanted to hear," he said. "What we felt was important was simply to tell them that they had an opportunity. We wouldn't offer players scholarships if we didn't think they were good players, but they had to earn their playing time. The honesty factor was important."
According to Osborne, Americans live in a culture where honesty is not valued.
"I would like to affirm with you the idea that in the long haul, honesty will pay off," he said. "You don't have to have a 150 IQ to be honest."
Nor does one need extraordinary athletic ability. "It doesn't have anything to do with special talent, it has to do with decisions. Every day you are confronted with a number of times when you have the opportunity to tell the truth, or tell a lie, or shade the truth, or to deceive somebody," Osborne said. "The important thing is what you do with those decisions. If you make the right decisions often enough, I think eventually you'll get to the point where you find that it comes very easily."
A system of deception
Osborne urged USD students to avoid many of the messages prominent in today's media.
"If you watch television and movies, you're indoctrinated with the message that promiscuity is common, is acceptable, is pleasurable and nobody gets hurt," he said. "But I guess as I sat across the desk with young men for 36 years, I came to realize that promiscuity always diminishes. As a result, our culture is paying a huge price."
He added that the biggest drug problem found on college campuses today is alcohol abuse. A high percentage of teen-aged youth become involved in binge drinking. Osborne knows that many college students believe it's impossible to have a good time without alcohol.
"I'm not saying to you to not drink," he said. "I'm just asking you to be sure to understand what you're getting into. Make sure you understand that what the culture is telling you is not necessarily true. All of those commercials that come on during the Super Bowl and the college football games and the college basketball games show people having a great time ? they don't show you the other side of it. They don't show you the skid row, the broken people and the broken lives."
Truth brings happiness
American society, in Osborne's view, is being presented with one big lie after the other by today's media, especially in advertising.
"I think one of the dominant themes that you've been inculcated with is that things will make you happy," he told the university students. "Somehow this will fulfill you, this will make you happy. But, I guess the longer I've lived, the more I've come to realize that this isn't true."
Once again, his recent experience in Haiti affirmed his beliefs. He walked among 200,000 people who lived in flimsy cardboard and tin shacks they had built on a garbage dump. There was no running water, no sewage system, and no sanitation.
"They were the happiest people, the most joyful people, and they had nothing," Osborne said. "Happiness, satisfaction, joyfulness in your life doesn't have to do with stuff, even though that's what you've been told."

Tips to consider when choosing a virtual gift shop no comments
Gift shops of nowadays represent a real wonder for people that love to make gifts for others and make them happy. That is how many companies have expanded their business in the virtual world, creating the possibility for any person to choose the perfect gift directly from home. So here are some tips to consider from the very beginning when choosing a virtual gift shop for your own needs.
First of all, a great idea to consider from the very beginning would be the one that has to deal with the coverage of the virtual gift shops. That is because there are a lot of shops which offer international services while others give only national or even regional services. By watching the coverage, you will make sure that you are able to purchase the perfect gift and receive it in a short period of time.
Distance to your house
In addition, a second aspect to consider when searching a virtual gift shop, would be to choose the shop which is the closes to your home. This fact will ensure that you will receive the needed product in the shortest period of time. You will also make sure that the shipment costs will be much lower for the budget to fit exactly the ideal gift for the ones you care of.
What is more is that categories are more important to make sure that the virtual gift shop includes the wanted gifts for the person you want. So there are companies that offer gifts only for kids while other are created only for women and men.
So, there is no doubt that the professionals from www.ultimategiftsforall.co.uk recommend for any person to take in count all these aspects for making sure that the chosen virtual gift shop implies all the needed aspects.
