Barbara Byrd-Bennett still remembers how often her daughter, Nailah, quoted coaches of every sport growing up in New York.
Nowadays, Byrd-Bennett frequently hears similar reverence repeated from her twin grandsons, who just started playing football.
"I just know from them it's always, 'The coach did or said this or that … the coach, the coach,' '' the Chicago Public Schools CEO said Wednesday inside her office. "To some kids, the coach is like a god, better than dad and mom.''
Men and women placed on such lofty pedestals by children must meet standards equally high, which explains what compelled Byrd-Bennett to suspend two high-profile, successful CPS boys basketball coaches for four games apiece. Simeon's Robert Smith and Morgan Park's Nick Irvin behaved in a way Byrd-Bennett considered unacceptable for coaches during a profane altercation in front of players Jan. 16 at Chicago State University after Simeon's 53-51 victory.
No, Byrd-Bennett doesn't care that the suspension will keep Smith from coaching Simeon's nationally televised showdown Saturday against No. 1 Young, a game she plans to attend. Bold agendas outweigh basketball schedules and only one audience concerns Byrd-Bennett.
"What is the message we are sending to our children if adults are exhibiting behavior contrary to what we want for our kids?'' Byrd-Bennett said. "I'm really disturbed.''
A videotape of the incident Byrd-Bennett requested after hearing "through the grapevine'' about the steady decline of coaching conduct proved Smith and Irvin violated Article 1, Section 2 of the CPS bylaws. Further conversations with security guards and athletic administrators who were present reinforced her observations.
The bylaw states, "Coaches are role models to players, students, staff and the general public and shall conduct themselves accordingly at all times.'' The more evidence Byrd-Bennett gathered about an argument that moved from the floor to outside the teams' locker rooms, the more committed she felt about taking action to "change the culture'' of CPS sports. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This was hers.
"You could clearly see the coaches were engaged in dialogue in which they weren't being friendly and this didn't look like sportsmanship expected from a coach,'' said Byrd-Bennett, who replaced Jean-Claude Brizard in October. "I'm not saying they're not good people. They could have gotten wrapped up in the moment but it didn't look good. I wanted to send a very strong message.''
The memo received by CPS basketball coaches: You can't do whatever you want. Your new boss doesn't impress easily. Accountability matters more than ever.
"Every coach in the Chicago Public Schools, without exception, is responsible for teaching and demonstrating respectful, moral and ethical behavior,'' the CPS chief declared in Wednesday's official statement.
Elaborating later as she leaned back in her chair, Byrd-Bennett made a point to say the penalty included both coaches having to explain their absence to players.
"It's a teaching moment,'' Byrd said. "The coaches need to own up, man up, to the fact that they got wrapped up in the game. That's the lesson. I didn't script what I wanted them to say but it's this: We get it. We're still going to play hard but when one makes a poor decision, there are going to be consequences.''
Smith declined comment to the Tribune and Irvin never returned several messages. Officials at their respective schools referred all inquiries to CPS spokesmen. Asked his reaction, Mayor Rahm Emanuel put the onus on coaches.
"You can have a conflict, you can have a competition and you set an example with one of the big issues we have to do, which is how do you handle conflict resolution. Our kids don't know that," Emanuel said.
Not surprisingly, the Positive Coaching Alliance, which will have three workshops with CPS coaches next week, applauded Byrd-Bennett forcing Smith and Irvin to fulfill every coach's biggest obligation.
"If coaches do not set a good example of showing respect for their opponents or for competition in general, then they should be held accountable,'' PCA executive director Jason Sacks said.
Tragedy looms over the discipline that Byrd-Bennett stressed was unrelated. The shooting death of 17-year-old Morgan Park student Tyrone Lawson occurred outside the Chicago State gym shortly after the teams fought in the postgame handshake line and both coaches started yelling.
"One and one does not make two in this instance and I would hope smart, rational people will see there's no connection,'' Byrd-Bennett said. "My heart and sympathy goes to the family of that young man … which has no direct correlation to what occurred at the game.''
This kind of quick impact seemed inevitable for a reform-minded leader like Byrd-Bennett, a woman who measures sports beyond statistics and believes they are "catalytic'' and "motivational.'' She's a woman who wonders why CPS schools don't use Lake Michigan to start rowing programs and whether Chicago's pro teams will invest heavily in high school sports the way Cleveland's did when she led that city's schools. She's a woman who sees CPS athletics mainly as an avenue to personal growth and education. She's a woman who once changed rules to require student-athletes in Cleveland public schools maintain a 2.5 GPA for eligibility.
"They went ballistic,'' Byrd-Bennett said, smiling.
As Byrd-Bennett was reminded Wednesday, sometimes raising the bar makes people angry. Welcome to Chicago, chief.

All siblings argue and fight, right? Generally, yes. It can be problematic, however, when one sibling bullies another.
More on Yahoo! Shine: The Strange Effect of Bullying
According to a new study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, sibling bullying can be just as damaging as peer bullying, leading to depression, anxiety, and anger.
More on Yahoo! Babies Have Sympathy for Bully Victims, Study Suggests
Researchers at the University of New Hampshire in Durham analyzed data from the National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence, studying nearly 3,600 kids ages 1 month through 17 years old who lived with at least one sibling. The kids were interviewed by phone about whether they had been victimized by a sibling in the past year. For kids under the age of 9, a parent answered on their behalf.
"In the past, people have viewed sibling bullying as more acceptable behavior than schoolyard bullying and some even say that it can prepare them for dealing with real-world conflict," lead study author Corinna Jenkins Tucker, an associate professor of family studies told Yahoo! Shine. "However, our study found that the effects of bullying at home are generally on par with those of school bullying."
Scientists measured four types of bullying: mild physical assault (being hit, beaten, or kicked without an object/weapon or resulting injury), severe physical assault (using an object or weapon to inflict the aforementioned bullying), property aggression (stealing a sibling's property or breaking it), and psychological aggression (feeling scared because a sibling said mean things or was exclusionary).
"Although we don't know why, we found that younger victims of mild physical assault, were more mentally distressed than adolescent victims, and victims of all types who experienced even one bullying incident were more mentally distressed than those who hadn't been bullied," says Tucker. "The takeaway is that even one bullying incident can cause damage."
So, how can parents prevent their kids from being victims of sibling bullying and keep the peace at home?
"Don't ignore the problem," Lawrence Balter, psychologist and author told Yahoo! Shine. "It's a mistake to think that kids will work things out on their own, especially when they're angry and emotional. They need guidance." Here are the top three mistakes parents make when dealing with sibling rivalry:
Blaming the older child: "Parents often get frustrated with the older kid, especially if he's more mature and 'should know better' but younger children can be bullies as well, especially if they've learned what buttons to push in their older siblings" says Balter. "It's important to take the time to hear out both children."
Believing that emotional bullying is less hurtful than physical bullying: "Many parents believe that if 'the child isn't bleeding' that the situation isn't that bad," says Balter. "But we know now that emotional bullying can be just as detrimental as the physical kind."
Expecting your kids to play together all the time: Bullying can often arise when parents say, 'Go to your room and play' but if the two children are of different ages, they may not get along," says Balter. "A five-year-old kid may have vastly different interests than an eight-year-old and that's understandable." Allowing your children space to explore their own interests rather than forcing them together may cut down on conflict.
Bullying can also create lasting psychological damage. If you were a victim of sibling bullying, you may still feel the effects as an adult. "If you're having trouble coping with what happened in your childhood, it may be a good idea to sit down with your sibling and explain how his or her behavior affected you," says Balter.

Short road trip starts in Cleveland
- Teams: Detroit Pistons (6-15) at Cleveland Cavaliers (4-16)
- Date: December 8, 2012
- Time: 7:30 p.m.
- Television: FSD
What to look for
After losing at home last night to the Chicago Bulls, the Detroit Pistons will try to rebound at the Quicken Loans Arena when they take on a Cleveland Cavaliers team that was soundly defeated on the road Friday night in Minnesota.
Tonight's contest will be a rematch of the December 3rd matchup that the Pistons won at home by a comfortable 10-point margin.
Anderson Varejao played well in that contest, but the Cavaliers only managed to score 79 points.
One of the biggest reasons why Cleveland struggled to score against Detroit was simply their inability to convert shots at the rim; an issue they've struggled with throughout most of the season, but particularly against the Pistons.
On the season, Detroit surrenders 42.4 points in the paint per game, which is 23rd in the NBA, and the Cavs actually outpaced that in their first encounter against the Pistons, as they produced 44 points in the paint.
That's a solid total, until we dig deeper and look at how they managed to produce it.
The league average on conversion rate for shots at the rim is 63.7 percent according to Hoopdata, but the Cleveland Cavaliers managed to convert a mere 17-of-37 shots at the rim (45.9 percent) against the Detroit Pistons.
Part of it is that Byron Scott's unit does not have good finishers as evidenced by the fact that they are dead last in the NBA in conversion rate at the rim, but what also played a factor was Maxiell, Monroe and Drummond's ability to contest shots at the basket that made it difficult for opponents to convert shots.
Furthermore, given that the easiest shot in the game is the attempt right at the basket, if a team is struggling to convert those, the odds are quite likely that they will have a poor shooting performance overall since shots typically become tougher to convert the further away a player is from the hoop. In the case of Cleveland, they only managed to convert 33.7 percent of all of their shots against the Pistons less than week ago.
Thus, if the Pistons are going to defeat the Cavs for the second time in less than week, contesting shots at the rim and then securing rebounds will benefit them greatly given Cleveland's inability to convert a large percentage of their shots at the basket.

This would be the perfect game to throw Drummond into the fire and give him at least 30 minutes. Tell him his job is to keep Varejao off the glass (especially the offensive glass). With all the injuries they have combined with keeping Varejao relatively quiet would pretty much be the perfect blueprint to winning this game. Now that Drummond has got his feet wet in the NBA the next step is to start setting assignments/goals against better players and test/challenge him to meet them. If he does this against better players he will start to build his confidence and feel he belongs on the big stage. I'm not saying we should expect him to shut down guys but rather just limit them…especially in areas like on the offensive glass where they can hurt us with second shots which can then bring other players into the game.

it will be great to see how he learns, history says he plays better against opponents the 2nd time around

I remember when this matchup used to mean something. I would mark my calendar when the new bad boys of Detroit would go up against LeBron and the Cav's…now all this matchup really means is "which team sucks the most" crazy how the mighty has fallen guess all it took was for Dumars to invest in some scrubs and for LeBron to ditch Gilbert

NO Perimeter Game at all….Keep Maggette in the game….
We trust have the worse coach in the league

bracing myself for a cavs Big 3rd QRT… and Byron makes all the right adjustments…and and our coach… playes the starts for the first 9 minutes….then plays the bench until the last 4-5 minutes of the 4th qrt…then bring back the starters

We are getting smashed on the glass again. This is starting to get beyond a joke now. If your not going to play English, Middleton, Bynum or Daye then at least put Kravtsov in there to rectify that problem.

If Maxiell was a Better Rebounder and Passer I would love him and Drummond playing more together…because Maxiell is so confident in his jumper no hesitation …I wish Monroe would just shoot the ball like that

I HATE TO SAY THIS! but we look like a Better team Without Monroe on the Floor… (Atleast tonight)

Although Andre Drummond has preformed to an exemplary standard during this young season, it is important to re-emphasize the work that Maxiell has done as well. We're lucky that both of them seem like good guys and people we can feel good cheering for.

Knight first 20 shot attempt game and 38 minute game of the season …. he scores 30pts 7rebs 5ast 1stl 1blk….

Good Job Frank at letting Knight be Knight

Drummond totally changed the game in the 3rd. Bet they'd be pretty good if he ever played with Monroe
Dec 8, 2012 • 10:10 pm
by I HATE FRANK
For Monroe and Drummond to be Effective…Monroe has to shoot that jumper…. he cant keep doing that hesitation pump fake mess…once Monroe does that he will be able to pump fake and drive the ball more without freezing the ball movement soo much
Dec 8, 2012 • 10:25 pm

Drummond has avg 25 min the last 3 games. Looks they might be getting close to starting him.
Dec 8, 2012 • 10:26 pm

Knight must have been really bothered by that thigh bruise for a couple games. He looked great tonight. as a scorer at least.
Dec 8, 2012 • 10:30 pm
by I HATE FRANK
knight is at his best as a scorer…. he then makes solid decisions passing the ball
Dec 8, 2012 • 10:35 pm
by Nine_Fat_Stalks
yeah, love what Max has done too. I think the biggest reason Drum needs to start soon though is to help MOOSE, who's clearly struggling.
Dec 9, 2012 • 9:12 am
by tarsier
Monroe may be having a troubling stretch, but I would certainly not do so. Monroe is already a better passer and rebounder and his scoring and defense aren't far behind.
Dec 8, 2012 • 10:57 pm

maybe frank not playing moose and dre together is his way of tanking for the last piece to a contender down the road

Am i the only one that feels like even though we won the game on the scoreboard it actually felt like we lost this game. We were terrible on the glass and if Irving played we would've lost by 20.
Dec 8, 2012 • 11:57 pm
by Reaction
I feel the same.. had Irving or even Waiters played we probably would have lost.
Dec 9, 2012 • 12:01 am
by I HATE FRANK
I don't know… Kyrie is good…but if you look at Pargo numbers ….. Those are Kyrie like numbers …. And other reasons the cavs rebound offensively well, they take quick shots from players you aren't always suspecting to shoot the ball ….
Another reason they offensive rebound soo well is they shoot one of the lowest percents in the league… Facts like that get ignored …hence only 4 wins ….
Dec 9, 2012 • 12:30 am
by Mark
yeah, thats what I was going to say. How much better than 24/4 would Irving have been?
Besides Knight always plays great against Irving
Dec 9, 2012 • 9:14 am
by tarsier
Wait, so you don't think Irving could perform better than Pargo's addmittedly good game but you do think that Knight could go off more against him than his huge game?
Dec 9, 2012 • 12:36 am
by Mark
Its so irritating to see Monroe struggle this year, knowing we drafted a big man specifically FOR HIM, to give him help in the paint…and we watch that big man shine by himself, yet Monroe isn't allowed to play with him.
Dec 9, 2012 • 8:57 am
by Vic
Someone needs to tell Monroe his triple threat is only a threat if he can shoot it confidently. All he has to do is watch film of his own teammate. Watch Maxiell let it fly without hesitation and a high release. Hit that a couple times and all the sudden your drive and pass can go to work easy. He needs a coach like Laimbeer.

Make a mighty "pizza" the Umi way with freshly baked cookies, smooth whipped cream, and your choice of fruit or candy toppings.
Watch Team Umizoomi Weekdays @ 9AM ET on NICK
Preheat the oven to 350�F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Knead the cookie dough with the flour until smooth. Divide the dough into six equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 5-inch disc. Arrange the discs about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake until cookies are golden and slightly firm, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Meanwhile, spoon half of the whipped topping into a plastic bag. Press out the excess air and seal the bag. Repeat with the remaining whipped topping. Snip a 1/2-inch corner from one of the bags with the whipped topping. Pipe the whipped topping all over the cookie and make smooth. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Place the cookies in the freezer until whipped topping is frozen like ice cream, at least 1 hour.
For a fruit topped pizza, cut the banana and strawberries into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Arrange the fruit on top of the whipped-topped cookies to resemble pizza toppings.
For a fruit-chew-topped pizza, place the fruit chews in the microwave to soften, no more than 3 seconds. Roll out the fruit chews into ropes and press each rope together. Roll out the ropes on a sheet of wax paper about 1/8 inch thick. Cut 1 1/4-inch circles from the fruit chews as the toppings. Arrange several fruit chew rounds on top of each whipped-topped cookie before serving.

I am looking for help on how to match a PMS uncoated color to closely match a PMS coated color. I know this may sound counter intuitive but here is the situation.
I work for a company that has a corporate color of PMS 285. Their product comes in uncoated kraft cardboard boxes and when we switched the color to the PMS 285 U they freaked out with the color change. A bit too pastel and hard to read. They want a color (PMS 285C) that matches what they get on nice shiny, coated marketing collateral. How can I closely match a color that will be printed on an uncoated material to an ideal coated PMS color?
Hope this makes since. Thank you for your help.
There is a trick I use in Photoshop sometimes. Click on the Color Picker in the Tools. In Color Libraries, go to Solid Coated 285. Then change the Library to Solid Uncoated.
The result is PMS 300 U. It is not a great match by any means, but it is probably the closest match Solid Uncoated has to offer.
Uncoated paper has a tremendous effect on ink appearance, that is why the 285U is so washed out compared to 285C.
Every Pantone color has a Lab definition, which you can see in the Photoshop libraries. What Photoshop is doing is seeing what color in the Uncoated library has the closest Lab equivalent to 285C. 285C is L46, a-4, b-58. 300 U is L43, a-8, b-49.
The L values is fairly close, but the other values present problems. A in Lab moves from green(-) to magenta (+), with 0 being neutral (neither green nor magenta). Because a in 300U is -8, and in 285C the a is -4, 300U is moving just a little more towards green (not a lot, but a little)
The b value is a bigger problem. B in Lab goes from blue(-) to yellow(+), with 0 being neutral. The b value in 285C is -58, while the b in 300U is -49. This means that 300U is significantly "grayer" (less colorful) than 285C. But again, 300U may be your best bet on uncoated paper.
Your other option is to look through an Pantone Uncoated swatch book and choose a color that you think is best for your purposes.
Hope this helps.

While China's investment in Africa raises eyebrows around the world, the vast number of Chinese migrant workers in the region rarely attracts attention. China has quickly become a prominent presence in many key industries in Africa, including petroleum fields, construction sites, mines, and textile mills. Unlike the western investors in Africa, who only brought managers and engineers and hired mainly local laborers, the Chinese have brought along their own workforce. Many of them, especially the illegal ones, are determined to stay. This will have profound impacts on the Sino-African relationship.

Men's Soccer Interacts with Students at Local School
DAHLONEGA, GA – The North Georgia men's soccer team continues to give back to the local community as players recently entered Chestatee Academy to motivate local children to pursue their education.
On March 4, 2011, men's soccer players Juan Hurtado, Mikki Bozickovic, Carlos Avendano, Kristopher Alonzo, and head coach Coach Pat Parris traveled to nearby Chestatee Academy to communicate in Spanish with students that have recently arrived to the United States from Latin American countries.
The student-athletes shared their experiences of arriving and living in the United States and how soccer has opened up an opportunity to continue their education.
After head coach Pat Parris and members of the team spoke to the group, they organized games and activities that allowed the middle school students to enjoy the activities these athletes play and love.
The North Georgia Soccer Team did not only influence those students from Latin America, but students from various backgrounds, cultures, and nationalities. The team plans to coordinate visits to Chestatee Academy in the future to cultivate relationships with the students as part of the NCAA Division II Community Engagement initiative.

Mary Ann Walker, 1965
Volume 46, Number 2, Winter 2013 (1/11/13)
Mary Ann Walker, 1965
MARY ANN WALKER, 69, passed away peacefully Monday, March 26, 2012 at home surrounded by her family following a courageous battle with cancer. Cremation rites have been accorded. Mary Ann was born the daughter of Marge (Wilson) and Edwin Walker on March 6, 1943 in Mason City, Iowa. She graduated from Clear Lake High School. She attended Luther and received a B.A. from Augsburg College in Minneapolis and a Master's degree in Public Administration from Iowa State University in Ames. Mary Ann held various positions with the Department of Human Services (DHS) until her retirement in 2000. She was a Public Welfare Worker and a Homemaker Supervisor in Cerro Gordo County, a County Director in Hancock County, a Benefit Payment Supervisor and a Family and Children and Adult Service Specialist in the Mason City District, a District Administrator in the Fort Dodge District, and the Bureau Chief of Policy Administration and Rules Administrator in Central Office in Des Moines. Following her retirement from DHS Mary Ann went to work for H&R Block as an Administrative Assistant and Tax Preparer where she worked until she became ill. She had just completed her Enrolled Agent Certification to represent clients before the IRS. Mary Ann was a member of St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Urbandale. She also had many hobbies which she enjoyed, including counted cross stitch, stained glass, machine embroidery, making porcelain dolls and creating animals from old fur coats, quilting, computer applications, gardening, canning and baking and an interest in genealogy. She was the Queen Mother for the Red Bonnet Biddies red hat group. Mary Ann truly had the heart of a servant. Those privileged to have lives meshed with hers were blessed and strengthened, as was she. She was respected, admired, and loved for her compassion, kindness, generosity, home cooked delicacies, intelligence and occasionally warped sense of humor. For those who did not know Mary Ann, a hundred descriptive words are inadequate. For those who did, no words are necessary. Mary Ann is survived by her wife, Ruth Schlesinger. Mary Ann and Ruth were together for over 30 years and were very happy to be able to join in marriage following the change in Iowa law. Mary Ann is also survived by her sister, Susan (Gary) Gerdes of Mason City, sister-in-law, Anita Walker of Mason City, mother-in-law, Polly Smith of Fort Dodge, father-in-law, Dave (Dena) Schlesinger of Fort Dodge, brother-in-law Mike (Julie) Schlesinger of Marshalltown, sister-in-law Judy (Bruce) Van Alstine of Eagle Grove, sister-in-law Carol (Terry) Pingel of Fort Dodge, sister-in-law Lynne Schlesinger of Fort Dodge. Also surviving are nieces and nephews and their families, Greg (Christine) Gerdes, of Fairfax, Doug (Michelle) Gerdes, Ned Walker, and Heather Walker of Mason City, Polly (Wayne) Dusek, of Roberts, Wisconsin, Emmy (John) Swisher, of Belmond, Ashley (Jarek) Van Alstine Vetter, of Hartley, Lucas (Autumn) Pingel of Minneapolis, T.J. Pingel and Samantha Pingel, of Fort Dodge, Andy (Dawn) Schlesinger, of Cedar Rapids and Sara (Erik) Schlesinger-Whitaker of Iowa City. Also special friends and neighbors, Jaymie and Chelsi Roberts, Shane Bruse, Connie Partlow, Ron and Laurie Polle, and Joe and Amy Stein. Last but not least, her four-footed boy Sammy, the basset hound. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, and a brother, Ned Walker. Five of her four-pawed children await her. A memorial gathering was held at St. Stephen Lutheran Church, 3510 72nd St, Urbandale, Iowa, March 30, with memorial service at the church on March 31. Burial was at Clear Lake Memorial Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Stephen Lutheran Church, Hospice of Central Iowa or Animal Lifeline.

Such a wonderful place with friendly staff and guests. Once you get there, you will be in the little community. Almost everyday we cook and have dinner together. In the evening, everyone sits in the garden and we see the sun goes under the mountains. Really amazing! One night we made asado, and owner's friends came to the garden and sang for us. They were a proper band with drums and stuff!!! This place is definitely not just a hostel but a home after a long trip where you can rest and recover.

They had no record of my reservation when I showed up and the dorm was full... Same problem for a couple of others that showed up at the same time - put us all in a private room, so it was OK, but then had to move to the dorm the next night. They need more showers for the guests. Breakfast is basic but the bread is very tasty. Nice common areas. This place has a lot of potential and I hesitate to say it is probably too cheap - they should put the price up and invest in additional bathrooms!

Beautiful hostel in a stunning location. Go, enjoy the view and relax. Diego is so friendly and welcoming, as is everyone else there. And delicious breakfast (someone else mentioned the home-made preserves: delicious, especially with the home-made bread) - best way to start the day. WiFi can be a bit iffy, but so what?! Pick up a guitar instead. And there are no lockers, but it's a pretty safe place. Just wish we could have stayed longer. Wonderful, wonderful hostel

Messina, the third largest city in Sicily, was the most important port of departure for European knights on their way to the Crusades in the Middle Ages. Today, this extensively rebuilt port city still boasts many historically and architecturally significant landmarks, particularly the renowned cathedral with its unusual astronomical clock, the 12th century Catania Church and the ornate Teatro Vittorio Emanuele. Messina is also the starting point for a day trip to the peak of breath-taking Mt. Etna-Crateri Silvestri.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests.

Dating from the 4th century, Taormina boasts a charming, medieval character that remains unspoiled, despite the many visitors to this Sicilian village overlooking the Ionian Sea.
Walking the scenic, narrow streets with your guide, you will behold sites such as the famed, 15th-century Palazzo Corvaja and the popular Greek Theater from the 3rd century B.C. While the theater is still used for summer performances, it is difficult to look anywhere from here but eastward at the astoundingly beautiful seascape with towering Mount Etna in the distance.
Later, enjoy a stroll along Corso Umberto, the town's main street, which is flanked by fine old houses and beautiful churches. You may also visit Taormina's aromatic Public Garden, or feel free to wander into the many small lanes where you can shop for local handicrafts.

These industrial hemp plants were grown for fiber and grain in France. (Courtesy: Aleks on Wikimedia)
March 13, 2013
The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors voted to support the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013.
Four members were for the act that will allow Congress to remove hemp from the Controlled Substance Act.
The act would also license and regulate the commercial production of hemp as an industrial and agricultural commodity.
The plant's seeds and fibers can be used to make more than 25,000 products like textiles, rope, plastic, shampoos and vitamins.

Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.
cgi-util is a fast, easy to use C library for creating CGI programs. Functions are available for initialization (parsing), grabbing fields (by string, integer, double or boolean value), embedding HTML files, and more. It accepts both POST and GET request methods and has extensive error handling.
CGI::Application is a Perl framework intended to make it easier to create sophisticated, reusable Web-based applications. This module implements a methodology which can make Web software easier to design, easier to document, easier to write, and easier to evolve. CGI::Application builds on standard, non-proprietary technologies and techniques, such as the Common Gateway Interface and Lincoln D. Stein's excellent CGI.pm module. CGI::Application judiciously avoids employing technologies and techniques which would bind a developer to any one set of tools, operating system, or Web server.
dircproxy is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") designed for people who use IRC from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish to remain connected and see what they missed while they were away. You connect to IRC through dircproxy, and it keeps you connected to the server, even after you detach your client from it. While you're detached, it logs channel and private messages as well as important events, and when you reattach it'll download those logs to you using ordinary IRC protocol.

Freeciv is a multiuser reimplementation for Unix/X of the famous Microprose game of Civilization. By default, the game is an improved Civ II, but this can be customized; modpacks for near-100% compatibility with Civ I and Civ II are included. Multiuser gameplay is real-time: in each turn, all human players move concurrently. The game is designed to remain fairly playable even on poor network connections. Freeciv can also be played on standalone machines, and its AI players are a good challenge for beginners. The source code comes with the server, two X clients, and non-X clients for MS Windows and Amiga. Freeciv is released under the GNU General Public License. It is maintained by an international team of coders and enthusiasts, and is easily one of the most fun and addictive network games out there.

Summary of Insane City Summary of Insane City Reviews for Insane City An Excerpt from Insane City
Seth Weinstein always knew Tina was way, way, way out of his league. Which is why he's still astonished that he's on a plane heading for their wedding in Florida. The Groom Posse has already pulled an airport prank on him—and he's survived! It should be easy going from now on.
But Seth has absolutely no idea what he's about to get into. A simple drink or two with the boys sparks a series of events that will pit Seth and his friends against everything and everyone imaginable, from his very powerful, very disapproving soon-to-be father-in-law to the federal government to a love-struck orangutan.
Seth's hope for smooth sailing is turning into a trip on the Titanic. And the water is getting deeper by the minute…

great location – Did have a problem with no heat or hw but they took care of it immediately. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was big and very clean. I would stay and recommend this hotel to anyone.
Crown NO more – This Crowne Plaza is missing its crown for sure.
It might be dissent hotel 10/15 years ago while all the bathroom fictures where new and clean.
Now days this ruin down hotel, with great location (I guess that is only reason why people stay there, including Team Splashi) it is more like "motel6" then anything else.
1.When we got to our room , hotel stuff didn't leave two bath robs for us , so we had to call them, and when they came with additional robe, it was missing ?robe belt?.
2.Restaurant at hotel has slow stuff and pore wine knowledge , also one night when we got us some wine at local market, we where told by bartender that they will charge us a fee if they help us open a bottle which we will take to our room.
3.All in all pore customer service at this Crowne Plaza, we usually have good time at this hotel chain , but this time we decide to avoid this hotel.
Clean, Safe hotel in Great Location – Our room had a great view of Times Square. It was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The location is great for EVERYTHING: shopping, sightseeing, central park, restaurants, subway. We would stay there again. Our room was part of a vacation package and was a real deal!
Upscale accommodations especially designed for business travelers, featuring complimentary amenities that promote a restful night's sleep. – In Short
This polished, contemporary hotel is known for its business-friendly facilities, with state-of-the-art meeting rooms and directorial services to assist with planning and budgeting. Other amenities include a 24-hour business center, in-lobby wireless access, in-room data ports, plus a fitness center and pool. Guests are treated to the hotel's Sleep Advantage program, which includes pillow-top mattresses and luxurious sheets, quiet-zone floors and complimentary amenities like eye masks, sleep CDs and lavender spray to encourage relaxation.
Great place to stay in Times Square – We stayed in this hotel in March of 2005. They allowed us to check in at 9:30 am which I thought was very nice. The location is good if you want to be right in the middle of Times Square. The rooms were clean and nice and everyone there was helpful. They also have a luggage storage room so that you can keep your bags there even after you check out. We took advantage of this because our flight didn't leave until 7pm.
Beautiful hotel, RUDE Staff – I went to this hotel in October 2001, the hotel it self is nice (although it really belongs in the wall street). However to sum it up: Rude Staff, Small Rooms Ugly Decor and to top it all off I was almost electrocuted because the coffee maker decided to back up into the system. Me and my friends are heading to NY in a couple of weeks again, we will not be heading back to this joke of a hotel!
nice view of Times Square – The furniture in the room looks like it belongs in some cheap motel or something. VERY ugly. But when my friend and I stayed here, we were really lucky and got a corner room on the 19th floor. This hotel is very tall is only like a block from Times Square, so the views are really nice. I guess if you are in NYC you aren't really going to be staying in your room too much so I guess it doesn't really matter if the furniture is that ugly.... but just know that it is. Staff was mediocre friendly. Not as nice as at the Muse. Beds were nowhere near as nice as the Muse (another hotel near Times Square).

I'm a Sociology major, which doesn't mean I want to go into Social Work or become a counselor. Rather, it means that human beings intrigue me, and I want to base my career on bettering the lives of those who surround me. I want to understand what exactly makes you tick and what made you the way you are. My passion is understanding human behavior.
I'm a strong believer, and my Christian faith shapes my being. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask me! I'm not too shy when it comes to my beliefs so don't hesitate to pick my brain. ;)
I have a mild obsession with quite a few things. Legend of Zelda, Doctor Who, LOST, Pokemon, Avatar, Supernatural, Sherlock, Mario, anything Nintendo-related, Community, Final Fantasy, Miyazaki, and comic book heroes are a few off the top of my head. I don't usually like things lightly, either. I go head-first and swim in it's very being. :)
I really, really love music. I could listen to just about every genre, but a few of my favorites are Indie, Rock, Progressive Metal, and Jazz. Some of my favorite bands are The Shins, The Wallflowers, Smashing Pumpkins, Damien Rice, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Dierks Bentley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Dub FX, Lights, Iron & Wine, Sufjan Stevens, and Future of Forestry.
Not only do I listen to music, but I play it as well. ;) I play the Alto Sax, Djembe, and the Cajon. I also sing, but not very well. I only hope that one of these days when I sing as loud as I can in the car I actually sound pleasant.
I'll edit this later and add more things to it. Thanks for reading!
If you're here just for quality, you're gonna have a bad time.

Cintas releases safe driving checklist
Tips for protecting and improving the safety of workplace drivers
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 30,000 people each year—or one person every 18 minutes—dies in a car accident. To help reduce driving-related incidents, Cintas Corporation, the leader in first aid and safety products, today released its safe driving checklist to remind workers of top strategies for driving defensively. Through February 15th, Cintas is offering complimentary defensive driving courses, which provide additional training for company drivers.
"Whether traveling to meetings or delivering products, employees' actions on the road can directly impact a business' bottom line," said Kate Lohner, Assistant Marketing Manager, First Aid & Safety, Cintas. "To reduce costs and increase driver productivity, businesses should equip drivers with the information and resources they need to stay focused and promote safe driving habits."
Cintas suggests equipping drivers with the following checklist:
- Avoid Distractions – Each day, more than 15 people are killed and 1,200 people are injured in crashes reported to involve a distracted driver, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Cell phones are the newest and biggest distraction on the road, and while many states have passed laws banning the usage of phones while driving, many people continue to use them. Using a cell phone behind the wheel can delay reaction time by as much as 20 percent. Additional distractions include eating, changing the radio station and looking at directions. If the driver needs to engage in any of these activities, the employee should pull off the road until the task is completed.
- Slow Down – If a company delivery is behind schedule or an employee is late to an appointment, the driver may try to save time by exceeding the speed limit. Statistics show that not only is this dangerous, but it can also cause an accident. If an employee causes injury to someone due to negligent conduct, the employer can be liable for damages. To reduce opportunities for a collision and legal ramifications, remind drivers to slow down.
- Maintain a Clear Distance. No matter how careful the driver, it's impossible to predict the actions of other drivers—particularly whether they will stop suddenly. To prevent drivers from rear-ending other vehicles, encourage them to follow the "three-second rule," which requires motorists to maintain at least a three-second distance behind other vehicles. Maintaining a safe distance is particularly important during inclement weather. Rain, snow and ice all contribute to treacherous road conditions and will increase stopping time. In this type of weather, it is suggested to increase stop time to six seconds.
- Wear Your Seat Belt –NHTSA studies show that more than half of all accident fatalities were people who weren't using a seat belt. Properly worn seat belts help prevent occupants from being ejected in the vehicle during an accident, particularly in the cabins of delivery trucks. Broken bones, lacerations and even death can be avoided by simply wearing a seat belt.
- Remain Calm – Remind drivers that delays are a part of driving and to limit their aggravation toward other drivers. Encourage them to yield to other drivers and refrain from aggressive actions that could trigger road rage or an accident.

GreatSchools Rating
To the parent from Virginia with a student at Jefferson Middle School: I acknowledge the validity of most of your points (especially the morning traffic -- you need to be on traffic duty to see just how crazy people can be). However, I take exception to your point about the district's choice plan. (You said, "a real lack of diversity" and "letting parents pick and choose their district.") A teacher in WSFCS for ten years and a parent with students in the system for thirty years, I have watched the district move from forced busing to neighborhood school assignment. Overnight the district re-segregated. Then the magnet program was introduced. Slowly and with great difficulty the program has turned into a strength. Plan to attend the Magnet School Fair January 5 at the Benton Convention Center. Depending on what year your student is in at Jefferson, you may want to consider moving to one of the magnet programs. At least you will have a better perspective on which high school your student may attend. All the magnet schools have a liberal visitation programs. You may tour the schools. Your student can "shadow" a student for a day partial day. The options are worth exploring.
Originally from Virginia, we moved to Winston-Salem this summer and the Forsyth County Schools have been a disappointment. At Jefferson, my popular outgoing son from Va is treated rudely or ignored by the students on his AG team. Although the counselor is working hard to help resolve this issue, there is a bigger dynamic going on within this school that I believe is not so easily fixed. In the cafeteria on my son's team, there is a table of all blacks who sit separately from the whites. There is a real lack of diversity at this school and my son is not fitting in with most of the students on his team. Academically, the school is behind his school in Virginia so the the "best" rated Middle School in Winston-Salem seems to be lacking but I suppose if you know no different than you have nothing to compare your experience to. Personally, I have almost been run down by other drivers in the parking lot on several occasions and with all of the problems my son is having with the students, this school is not worth the trouble of the 15 minute or more wait to get my son to and from school. I believe letting parents pick and choose their district is harming students in Forsyth County!
I am going to this school, and i just moved here and i am a girl, Jefferson is a good place but even though it might be rated very good, its an okay school. There is barely any homework even in the AG classes and if you are in band or orchestra, you probably might be very far ahead because they start an instrument only in 6th grade, which is pretty far behind. Not many people are in orchestra though. Also if you have never heard of Wallabees, you might want to look at them because to fit with more "popular" kids in you have to have a bunch of Wallabees, Uggs, and other expensive shoes. Also Wallabees are quite ugly, and in Jefferson they actually think they look good.... which is pretty weird... but thats just my opinion. Finding friends is kind of hard when there is more than 400 kids in the whole grade. Eh... well the teachers are pretty good, and the kids are not disciplined very well, and the classrooms are very packed full of kids because they have so many.
Jefferson Middle School is awesome! My son started sixth grade at Jefferson this year and has had a wonderful experience so far. The teachers care about the students and help them to be successful in school offering tutoring after school. The principal is great and he keeps parents well informed concerning school events as well as keeping track of A/B day schedule.
my son will soon start middle school and I have chosen this school for my son to attend. My son is zone for another midddle school, bit I have chosen this school instead. I have done researchs and find this school to be the best school.
The teacher there care alot about the students and keep parents up to date on everything. They always bend over backwards to see that the children get everything they need to get ahead.....saturday schooling , after school schooling.
Jefferson is the BEST school ever!!!! when i came to TJMS my grades inproved so much i was so happy.They give us plenty of choices in sports,classes,and if youu need help the teachers are always there for you.Im glad i go t jefferson and proud to say im a patriot!!!! <3333
Excellent school, a little too much testing and homework in the AG classes. Quality work by the teachers, excellent staff and SRO. Glad my daughter is there.
6th grade at TJMS is the BEST!!! We have some of the highest test scores in NC. I am proud to work here.
There is not much homework. Kids are not disciplined well. Also, there is not much technology use at all. It is far from the best middle school in the county if you ask me.
Jefferson middle is a very good school, with high expectations for their students in academics. I gave a four star to this school. Thanks to all the helpful and caring teachers!
As a parent this school is wonderful my son had and grate time there with the hight test scors and by far the best athleatica they win about 9 out of 10 county champs every year. Best school ever
Prior to our son entering middle school, we heard all of the 'woes and cons' of these upcoming years from other veteran parents. We began the year suited in our armor and ready for the challenging battles that awaited us. Our worries have been needless and our concerns few. Our son has been truly blessed with a phenomenal 'team' of dedicated, sincere, and highly qualified teachers who are guided by the most fantastic principal/assistant principal leaders. We have had personal contact with all of these fine people as well as timely, updated,and ongoing progress information. The parent/teacher communication is outstanding and most welcome since our son's ability to convey most meaningful messages to us has...temporarily lapsed! In summation, we are content and relieved, knowing that we have made the best decision for our son's 'transition years'. He feels valued, respected, and challenged. What else could anyone ask for? Heartfelt thanks!
This school has a truly wonderful and dedicated staff. My son has greatly enjoyed his first year in middle school. I give this school a rating of 5. Continue the great work!
Very positive feeling in the school. Good environment for learning. High use of technology.

The Shôgi French Federation presents Shôgi which is often called "Japanese chess"!
Shôgi promises fascinating games
with many twists and turns
© Chris CB Photographie
Like any Japanese traditional art, Shôgi (literaly "generals' chess game") has habits of use. It was practiced by Shôgun and Samurai in the medieval era as a martial art forming the mind. It travelled the centuries to become one of the most popular games in Japan.
It is played on a chess board, called Shôgiban, and has 81 squares. At the beginning of the party, each player has 20 flat counters, slightly sharp and light-colored. The aim is to take the opponent's king.
