Lady Saints Go Low in Final Round, Finish 8th at Columbus State
Contact David Beall, email@example.com
COLUMBUS, GA – The North Georgia women's golf team improved on their opening round total by 29 shots on Tuesday afternoon and catapulted two spots to finish in 8th place at the Lady Cougar Collegiate Classic played at the Country Club of Columbus.
After an opening round 347, all five players improved their score for North Georgia in round two and emerged with a final round 318 to snag 8th place overall with 665.
UNC Pembroke held off a late surge from Lander to capture the team championship with a final round 314 and two-day team total of 629. The Lady bearcats made it interesting however, with a tournament low 303 on Tuesday to finish six strokes behind the Braves.
Shorter University, Columbus State and Tusculum College rounded out the top five, while the Lady Saints finished just four shots behind 6th place Montevallo and one shot back of 7th place Queens University of Charlotte.
Nikki Crowley led from wire-to-wire to capture the individual title, firing a final round three-over-par 75 to finish two shots ahead of Meghan Moore who made it interesting late with an even-par 72 in the final round.
Erica Breeden continues to improve during her brief collegiate career as the sophomore fired a career-low six-over-par 78 in the final round. The record-setting day for Breeden put her in a tie for 16th place overall. Ironically enough, Breeden has also shaved 16 shots off her first-ever collegiate round in the fall of 2010 and has become one of the best up-and-coming players in the league.
Catalina Olarte showed plenty of improvement on Tuesday as well, following up an opening round 87 with a final round 77 to send the junior to an 18th place finish.
Abbey Gill (80) and Casey Truelove (83) each cut six strokes off their first round scores to finish in 24th and 35th places respectively, while LeeAnn Noble's final round 96 send her to a 59th place finish.
The Lady Saints return to action next week, traveling to Savannah, Georgia, to take part in the Armstrong Pirate Women's Invitational at Savannah Quarters Country Club.

Think of your business plan as a matter of blocks, like interrelated pieces. You don't have to have the whole block structure done before you take any next steps. Start your blocks where you like. Some common blocks are the mantra, the sales forecast, the mission statement , the keys to success, maybe a break-even analysis, or a SWOT, or how about the heart of your plan, as in the whole discussion of who needs your product or service and why and what it is? A sales forecast is a block, and so is an employee or personnel plan, as in...

Your plan-as-you-go business plan is no more than what you need to run your business. In the beginning, it might be as simple as an elevator speech, as explained in the Dressing and Growing section. Be able to talk through those key points: the customer story, what makes you unique, how you're focusing and on what you're focusing, and, if it comes to that, your close — what you want from whoever is listening. Or it might be a simple sales forecast, and perhaps, a burn rate in the very beginning because you know what...

Planning should become management and better business, long-term progress towards goals, prioritizing, and focus; but you have to do it. It's up to you to make your planning work. It's not really about the plan, per se; it's about the discipline to use the plan to run the business. A good business planning process grows organically; it evolves as your business evolves. With monthly review schedules and performance tracking, your planning, unlike the classic plan document, stays alive and present – on top of your...

I often suggest building a plan like an artichoke, with its heart in the center and the rest of the plan wrapping up and around it. I also suggests starting anywhere you like, which is a bit of a contradiction, or perhaps just another paradox. You can start anywhere you like, but build your plan around the heart, which implies that the heart comes first. And usually it does. The heart of the plan, which is also the heart of the business, is made up of a group of three core concepts that can't be separated: market, identity, and...

I like to think of defining flesh and bones as setting the steps. You have a strategy, you've got the heart of your business settled, but you want to set it down into concrete steps you can follow and track. To follow up on a plan and turn it into effective management, you have to have specifics that you can track and manage. This turns a plan into a planning process, and it makes for management. This section deals with the specific steps you can take to make things happen. Remember: Good business planning is nine parts implementation...

Your sales forecast is the backbone of your business plan. People measure a business and its growth by sales, and your sales forecast sets the standard for expenses, profits and growth. The sales forecast is almost always going to be the first set of numbers you'll track for plan vs. actual use. This is what you'll do even if you do no other numbers. When it comes to forecasting sales, don't fall for the trap that says forecasting takes training, mathematics or advanced degrees. Forecasting is mainly educated guessing...

As your company grows, your planning grows. As you grow, if you add people to your team, then you want to bring them into the process, and make sure you're on the same page. You bring in skills. The business gets more complex as it grows. Cash flow gets more sophisticated. You start to manage the money and administration differently. Or you have a business plan event. You want or need to present a complete formal business plan, or the elevator speech, or the pitch presentation, or summary memo. That's what this section is...

I hope at this point I've made it clear that you don't necessarily need to have a standard, traditional, formal business plan. Until you really need to show a plan to some outsider who needs, wants, or expects the full formal plan, you can just use your plan-as-you-go plan to reap the benefits and avoid the hassle of the document. However, there are business reasons that force you to produce the traditional plan document. We call these business plan events. The more common business plan events are related to seeking loans or...

I am trying to download a new trial version of PS CS5.1 onto my iMac and keep getting a Warning screen that says "The following disk images couldn't be opened: Image/Photoshop_12_1_LS1.dmg, Reason: invalid checksum." The installer then gets stuck on extracting the download. Help?
- Emily
Where did you choose to download the install files too? If it is still extracting the download then the DMG file is not complete which is why you are running into this issue. Once the download is complete the Adobe Download Assistant will automatically launch the installer to install Photoshop. Depending on the location chosen to save the download the Adobe Download Assistant may have difficulties saving the install files.
Alternately you can also follow the directions at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to download the install files directly.
Downloading the install files directly did work. Thanks Jeff!!
Thank you for the link to the individual download files, Jeff! I'm trying those now. However, I do want to know what happened -- I used the Adobe Download Assistant myself, and I know the file was completed because the Assistant itself launched the extraction. It's just that the disk image yielded a checksum error. What could have caused this?
Thank you for your time!
Verdantskies it could be anything from a corrupt download to also an issue with your computer verifying checksum information properly. You can turn off the checking of the checksum in the Disk Utility application.
When I was researching this issue for another user I found that these issues are not specific to Adobe software and that often users who experience it with one software vendor also have the same issue with other software vendor's downloads. This could indicate either an overall problem with the stability of the Internet connection or an issue with the computer itself.
Makes perfect sense. Thank you so much again, Jeff! God bless you!

I worked at Nu Horizons Electronics
Pros – Overall a great company and great people. Ability to service customers with international manufacturing strategies.
Cons – Frequent Changes in sales staff, both in the Field and Inside, have a negative effect on customer relationships and therefore sales. Employee retention needs more effort.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep closer to the salespeople and listen directly to their input about trends and customers and territories. Apply more energy to retention of good employees.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Nu Horizons Electronics full-time for more than 10 years

Nothing to like about this, but it is easy to understand. The Yankees way is always to spend the money to get to the top.

NYY must pay him 20 mil + for 7 years or to age 37 RS fans will love it in 4 or 5 years laughing every time he gets up.

I knew he wasn't coming back, but you can't tell me his heart was in it for the Sox if this is the case. The only reason the Yanks would pay him that much is if they were in a bidding war against other teams, likely worth 1M per year less in other offers. He took this one, because having 153 million for the rest of your life is way different than 145.

An echocardiogram creates an image of your heart's valves and chambers by emitting high frequency sound waves and receiving the echoes as they bounce off internal structures. An echocardiogram is used to:
This is the standard echocardiogram, during which an image of the heart is created by passing a wand, called a transducer, along the outside of your chest. This procedure is non-invasive and painless.
Patient preparation: There is no specific preparation for this test. Eat, drink, and take all medications as you normally would.
What to expect: The technician, or sonographer, will use a small amount of water-based gel that allows the transducer to glide smoothly on the surface of your chest. This non-irritating gel creates a cooling sensation, while the movement of the transducer is accompanied by slight pressure. During most of the exam you will lie on your left side, although the sonographer may ask you to change positions to take pictures of different areas of your heart. The test will take about 40 minutes.
During this test a small ultrasound transducer is inserted into your esophagus (the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach). Because the esophagus is located right behind the heart, this echocardiogram produces clear pictures without the interference of the lungs and chest.
Patient preparation: Do not eat, drink or take medications six hours prior to your scheduled appointment. Arrange transportation home after your test since you may feel groggy from the sedative.
What to expect: For a TEE, you will receive IV medication that places you under conscious sedation. During conscious sedation you are awake and responsive but will feel little discomfort. Your breathing will not be affected. Because of the sedative, many people do not remember the procedure. A small transducer on a long tube will be passed through your mouth and into your esophagus until it reaches a position close to your heart. From there, the transducer will create a clear image of your heart in motion.
Your vital signs and alertness will be monitored throughout this test. After the TEE is completed, the tube is withdrawn. The entire procedure lasts about 90 minutes.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Bill Nemitz email@example.com
I hereby nominate Gov. Paul LePage for the first annual Hiroo Onoda Award.
Onoda, for those not conversant with lost causes, was the Japanese soldier on a remote island in the Philippines who refused to surrender for 29 years after the formal end of World War II.
LePage, on the other hand, is the mad-as-hell Republican governor who spent Thursday morning on a remote boat landing in Down East Maine refusing to accept that the federal shutdown is over.
"Visiting boat launch at Cobscook Bay State Park with Washington County Commissioner Chris Gardner," LePage announced on his Twitter feed eight hours after President Obama officially reopened the federal government and extended the nation's debt ceiling.
Lest we not believe him, the Big Guy attached a photo of himself and Commissioner Gardner deep in conversation at the park's otherwise empty Edmunds boat ramp – also know as Ground Zero in the Obama administration's never-ending attack on the working people of Maine.
As Second Lt. Onoda once observed, "Some dreams are best not to wake up from."
The Battle of Cobscook Bay was, to be sure, a tiny but telling example of all that went wrong in America during the 16-day federal shutdown.
Run by the state but owned by the federal government, Cobscook Bay State Park was closed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Oct. 1. The closure included the boat ramp on Edmunds Road long used by fishermen to get into and out of the bay.
The first sign of trouble: notices affixed to the windshields of fishermen's vehicles declaring the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses Cobscook Bay State Park, off limits for the duration of the shutdown.
That naturally upset the fishermen, who squawked to their local and county officials, who in turn squawked to the folks at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who quickly agreed to keep the boat ramp open.
Until they didn't: This week, wooden barricades inexplicably went up at the entrance to the boat ramp, only to be tossed aside by the fishermen as they went about their daily business.
And lest the feds not get the message, an agitated County Commissioner Gardner went so far as to warn that any further attempts to close the ramp would be met with "an equal amount of force to keep it open."
Cue the Down East militia – and the Maine congressional delegation.
By Wednesday, amid news of a shutdown-ending deal between the tea-party House Republicans and those in Congress who aren't certifiably insane, Sen. Angus King and Reps. Chellie Pingree and Mike Michaud all put out press releases announcing that they'd talked with U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the problem was solved: Cobscook Bay's boat ramp was, and would remain, open.
End of battle. And, when the House finally caved a few hours later and released the country from Crazytown, end of war.
But alas, the governor of faraway Maine remained tuned to a different frequency.
"The state has not received notification from the Obama administration indicating that Edmunds Boat Launch is open," fumed LePage in a statement late Wednesday. "I am calling on the (Obama) administration to ensure local working fishermen have access to this critical boat ramp."
Never mind that it was LePage's fellow tea partiers, not the Obama administration, who shut down the federal government in the first place.
And let's all resist the temptation to imagine President Obama picking up the hotline and personally telling the Big Guy, "Governor LePage – Barack Obama here. Just wanted to let you know, ah, that the Edmunds boat ramp has been, ah, reopened."

Quote of the Day: Donald Trump Decrees Boycott on Glenfiddich Scotch
9 comments :
I can only agree with the comment above. Trump seems to feel that the people of Scotland love him - he's wrong, so very, very wrong. Maybe a few around his golf course benefit but everyone I have discussed this with agrees that the guy is an unwelcome egomaniac. His pathetic little Twitter spat with Alan Sugar only made him look like more of an idiot..... not that anyone with hair like that needs the help of Sugar to do that.ReplyDelete
Word to the wise, Donald: you can have all the money (or debt) in the world but it can't buy class.
Agree with both comments above, what a fucked up piece of shit that over inflated arsehole is. No Scot supports his foray into Scottish landscape, his egotistical, pompous arrogance has fucked off every Scot beyond this stupid cunts' comprehension.ReplyDelete
Michael Forbes could've made a tidy sum if he buckled and sold his land to the fat bullying fuck, instead he showed more character and class by NOT selling out and for mine that makes him the Scot of the millennium not just year.
For your info too you pathetic wig wearing cunt, Scots voted Forbes as the overwhelming winner for this prize, Glenfiddich only sponsor it.
If Andy Murray is any more a Scot than the rest of us, he too would've voted for Forbes.
Once again let me reiterate EVERY Scottish opinion on this topic, 'fuck off you fat Fucken pig' leave Scotland to the Scottish. You cunt!
Why are the Scots so angry maybe its because they fuck sheep instead of women$$$$$ LOLReplyDelete
Hahahaha it seems the deluded Trump continues to believe the sun shines out of his inflated arse......ReplyDelete
No normal Scot is supportive of what he's done to Scotland nor does it benefit anyone but his sycophant friends, insignificant snobs and of course his pockets.
Trump was Trumped and the spoilt brat doesn't like it.
I'd like to tell him directly to "fuck off" too
William Wallace wouldn't even drink that piss water, Scots lay off the drink sucks!ReplyDelete
Fuck off ye fucken arse monkey! At least Wallace wasn't from fucken KENYA. Your man drinks fucken bannana pops.ReplyDelete
I suppose sheep are more preferable to some nations women?ReplyDelete
Scots should be grateful to Mr. Trump for building such a magnificent golf course in the country that invented the game.ReplyDelete
The original golf courses accentuated the landscape not replaced it. And Trump, you don't understand the Scots.ReplyDelete

724 Iberville St, New Orleans, LA | Directions 7013029.954385 -90.068876
Sun-Thurs 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Central Business District, French Quarter - CBD
Wonderful Service and Great Food Too – We went to Acme based on a friend's recomendation and we were pleasantly surprised. our waitress was unusually friendly and pleasant - she treted us well and was pleasant even when were unsure about our order. We ordered the roasted oysters and a couple of drinks they showed up cooked exactly as we'd requested (a little more cooked than normal and extra cheese) and sizzling hot. Neither of us were oyster fanatics but these were super good we order another order after we finished our started round and left with full bellies - great job Acme!
UNBELIEF – We sat at the Bar where or oyster shooker "Magic" told us exactly what to order... Loud atmosphere, but everything we ordered was AMAZING
Expect a Wait for Good Food! – All good things come to those who wait - that's the truth!
My husband and I visited NOLA for our Anniversary weekend and were pleased with the service and selection at Acme.
Recommend the chargriled oysters that are done with butter and parmesean. Expect to wait in line for 10 minutes or so...
YES!!!! – Delicious!!! Poboys and chargrilled oysters left us full & happy.
Grilled oysters to die for! – I can't wait to go back to New Orleans and eat at this Acme Oyster House again. As many times as I have been to New Orleans, I cannot believe I have eaten at Acme only once.
Don't Miss Acme! – No trip to New Orleans is complete without a trip to Acme! The bread that they use for their Po-Boys is the BEST IN TOWN! The oysters are great and the service is really friendly. If there is a line, just grab a drink from one of the bars on the corner, but be prepared to toss it at the door. Can't say enough good things about Acme.
YUM! – Grilled oysters are sublime. The line outside the restaurant may be daunting, but the oysters and po boys are worth the wait. Must try!
Great Seafood House – Husband and I have been coming to NOLA yearly since before Katrina to vacation. We first stumbled on this restaurant by accident, having eaten at another less than stellar seafood place. We adore Acme, and have never had a bad experience. We've also found that we prefer eating at the bar, to watch the shuckers and talk to the employees, as well as other friendly customers. I tried a grilled oyster, thanks to the guy sitting next to me, and ordered my own--YUM! Catfish, shrimp, jambalaya, gumbo, red beans, oysters--all entrees are great and filling, but we always have to have the warm bread pudding to finish off the meal. Don't miss this gem!
A true New Orleans experience - don;t miss it!! – What a gem. We just returned from New Orleans for New Years / Sugar Bowl and stopped in for lunch at one of the city's best places - ACME!
Get there early indeed - by mid afternoon the line reached the corner and turned down the next block. We decided to come the next day for brunch - the sign says they open at 11:00 so we all met there at 10:30 expecting the get a good place in line. They were already open and seated us immediately - all 14 of us! dozens of raw oysters, pounds of crawfish and a few broiled oysters later - we made it to the main course. The po boys are delicious and the prices here are reasonable. I tried the 1/2 catfish and 1/2 oyster po boy. The sandwich was packed with seafood. The service was outstanding, as always. Their shuckers are unrivaled. The place we ate at the day before (when ACME was too crowded) took 25 minutes to bring a dozen oysters. ACME delivered 6 dozen in about 5 minutes!
We left around 11:30 am and sure enough, the line was already to the corner again.
best oysters – OK, Come on people...I have eaten raw oysters in Boston at Le Ole Union Oyster House, and they were pretty good. I have eaten them on the bay in San Francisco and they were good as well. But....ACME Oyster House in New Orleans beats them all!!!! First of all, the location...French Quarter..Hello???? Second, we took our 8 yr old son with us for dinner, and the line was long but moved very fast, even he didn't get restless. The staff was very friendly, and fast. The oyster were the best I ever had... I had a half dozen raw, and then I tried a half dozen grilled with some cheese on them...Man, that was nice... Third, you won't leave with an empty wallet!!!!!! If you love history and oysters, ACME Oyster House will be your best experience ever! Now go eat some raw oysters..

Crop Protection USA
BASF Crop Protection means innovative solutions. As a leading producer of agricultural products, our portfolio includes herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and seed treatment technologies that provide the optimal level of crop protection. Our innovative products help growers maximize yields to get the most out of every acre to meet the food and fuel demands of a growing world population.
Use this Web site as your primary resource for complete information regarding BASF products, research and news.
While global consumption is on the rise, farmers are being tasked with producing more with less land, energy, and water while conserving our planet. BASF understands this challenge and applauds this amazing work farmers perform each and every day.
Agronomist Rob Klueppel works on a range of crops on more than 20,000 acres. With a variety of crops grown, including corn, beans and wheat, Klueppel has his work cut out for him when advising growers about herbicides and fungicides.
Disease control and Plant Health are critical to helping a crop reach its full potential of high yields and high quality. There is now a distinctive choice for farmers to use to cultivate strong, plentiful crops. Xemium® fungicide, one of the latest active ingredients from BASF, helps power Priaxor™ fungicide and Merivon® fungicide, two unique Plant Health fungicides that take crop protection to a whole new level.
As the next generation of tough broadleaf weeds and grasses continues to challenge growers everywhere, it's clear that glyphosate alone is not enough.
Thirty years of experience in agribusiness gives a pest control advisor a strong sense of what makes a good herbicide. Longtime PCA Mike Pettigrew advises vineyard and orchard owners in California how to best protect their crops, and he sees BASF products as the best defense.
Feeding the world's growing population while protecting the land is a topic that's never far from a farmer's mind. Some farmers, such as Eric Scheuer, incorporate tilling practices and herbicides that minimally disturb the soil.
In more places than ever, and across a larger number of common species, weeds resistant to glyphosate are an ever-increasing problem, monopolizing the time and effort of more and more growers each year.
Before growers plant this fall, crop experts are encouraging them to evaluate their risk for possible herbicide carryover. The drought conditions for the 2012 growing season resulted in less herbicide degradation in soil, particularly with several different herbicide chemistries offered by multiple manufacturers.
For the Wharam family, life in North Dakota is rooted in agriculture. From the family's aerial application business to son Chris' role with BASF, family life and agriculture have always gone hand-in-hand.
Multi-year research trials in corn and soybeans have shown that a comprehensive pest-management program utilizing a combination of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides provides effective weed, disease and insect control to help maximize yields and profit.
Priaxor™ fungicide, BASF's latest innovation in disease protection, is a combination of the same active ingredient in Headline® fungicide and a new active ingredient: Xemium® fungicide. Xemium is continuously distributed throughout the leaf to help deliver the ultimate in disease protection. Priaxor gives soybean growers superior disease control, Plant Health benefits and more consistent yield increases.
Louisiana rice growers who have discovered resistant sheath blight in their production fields have been granted emergency access to Sercadis™ fungicide to fight this burgeoning threat to yield and crop quality.

Although a natural treatment may take longer for healing, some amazing essential oils for eczema have a more lasting effect without the negative side effects of drug therapy.
How to Blend Essential Oil
One of the best ways to use essential oils for eczema is to make an Essential Oils blend. In order to do this, mix a "carrier oil" with several drops of healing essential oils. It is very important to dilute your blend, as essential oils are highly concentrated and could make your skin worse if applied directly to the skin.
Ideal carrier oils include primrose, avocado, almond or jojoba oil; all of these are rich in omega fatty acids and other nutrients. For every two ounces of carrier oil, blend twenty-five drops of essential oil in with it. Store correctly in an airtight plastic or glass container, away from heat and light.
What Essential Oils Should I Use?
This is a good question to ask yourself when deciding which essential oil to use for your eczema. A variety of oils can help. Below is a list of a few and their specific properties:
• Geranium Oil: Often used in skin treatments for its normalizing and balancing properties.
• Lavender Oil: Has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, calming, and normalizing properties.
It also supports immune health and is extremely beneficial for alleviating stress.
• Tea Tree Oil: Protects the skin from infection, as an antiseptic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral and
anti-fungal oil. This does not blend as well with other oils because it has a distinct smell.
• Clary Sage Oil: Is an anti-inflammatory and helps minimize stress and anxiety.
Most essential oils have a great deal of health benefits, and by using them you will do more for yourself than just treat eczema. They are all used for aromatherapy and can reduce stress and anxiety, a common trigger for eczema.
Give these essential oils for eczema a try.

This is a continuation of part 1: WILLIAM H. DeGRAAF, A BICYCLE TRIP AROUND THE WORLD, and MURDER
Cool, my Great-Great-Grandfather DeGraaf was quite the athlete. But this find detoured me from my original goals of finding a middle-name and cause of death for William. I was, for a moment, more interested in the question; did this Frank Lenz complete his journey of bicycling around the world? The first hit on NYTimes.com for the term "Frank Lenz" lead me to the article:
Slayers of Frank Lenz of Pittsburg
Out of Their Turkish Prison.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June 12.–Two of the Kurds who are supposed to have been connected with the murder of Frank G. Lenz of Pittsburg, Penn., the bicyclist who was shot and killed about two years ago while on a tour around the world, on the road between Kourtah and Zahar, have died in prison at Erzeroum, and other Kurds suspected of complicity in the murder have escaped from prison.
The United States Minister, Mr. Alexander W. Terrell, has appealed to the Supreme Court here to secure their recapture and trial. In all eleven men were arrested on the charge of being concerned in the murder of Mr. Lenz, and several of them escaped from prison some time ago.

'The Bully Project' Finds Its Moment
Filed by KOSU News in Art & Life.
June 23, 2011
Director Lee Hirsch started filming The Bully Project in 2009, about a year before bullying fully came of age as a high-profile crisis with the launch of what became the It Gets Better project. (That's not to say that's when bullying started, obviously — it's when the current wave of popular media coverage swelled after several awful stories of suicides by bullied kids.)
What The Bully Project adds to the public conversation is an unflinching look at the stakes. At its center is the family of Tyler Long, a 17-year-old who had just recently hanged himself in a closet when filming started. It follows his anguished parents as they launch a community discussion of bullying in the wake of his death that it certainly appears the school doesn't want to have (they organize a town hall meeting, and plenty of kids and parents show up, but nobody from the school or the district).
The film also follows Alex, a 14-year-old who can be funny and comfortable at home, but who has been so relentlessly brutalized at school (his special zone of torment seems to be the bus) that he walks around looking shell-shocked and a bit lost, which seems to isolate him even more.
There are other kids in the story: Kelby, a young lesbian from Oklahoma whose father explains that after she came out, people he'd known for years started refusing to acknowledge him on the street; Ja'meya, a 14-year-old whose very difficult path represents the dangers of and to bullied kids who get fed up and decide to fight back; and Ty Field-Smalley, whose suicide at 11 years old — 11 years old — drives his father, too, into activism.
At times, The Bully Project is a pretty grueling experience, but it probably wouldn't be fair if it weren't. And it isn't only the bullying that's frustrating: We see Alex's parents try to take their concerns (which are amplified after the filmmakers conclude that they're obligated to tell them what's happening on the bus) to the school. There, they have a bizarre meeting with an administrator who gives them precisely the pacifying "we'll take care of it" speech that many of the parents in the film say they hear all the time right before nothing happens.
Unfortunately, by that point in the film, we've already seen that same administrator intervene in what certainly smells like a bullying situation by forcing the two boys involved to shake hands and later telling the one who's complaining of being bullied that if he doesn't shake hands and make up and really mean it, he's just as bad as the bully. (She really says this. It's almost surreal.)
It gives you a sense of what these families feel like they're up against, although in fairness, the schools are up against quite a lot themselves. There's a point where a local official tells the Longs that it's extraordinarily difficult for the school to single-handedly stop destructive behaviors by a kid whose parents are reinforcing those behaviors at home. To the Longs, it feels (very understandably) like blame-shifting and refusing to do anything, but I felt some sympathy for the school, too, because … it's probably true.
There aren't any suggestions of easy solutions in The Bully Project; it's more about driving home the need for everybody to keep trying by just standing as a reminder of what's at stake. Kelby's father says at one point that he never understood the expression "you never know what someone's been through until you've walked a mile in their shoes" until he had a gay child. The Bully Project can't let you walk a mile in any of these people's shoes, not by a longshot. But it can let you look at those shoes up close, maybe try them on. It's not fun, but it's well worth doing.
Note: The film has an online home at TheBullyProject.com, where there are extensive links to resources for kids and parents dealing with bullying and to the "grassroots movement" the film is intended to spur. [Copyright 2011 National Public Radio]

Pro Bowl selections announced today
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, December 26th, 2012 at 10:40 am in Oakland Raiders.
The league will announce the Pro Bowl selections today at 4 p.m. PST on NFL Network. This might be one of those rare seasons when the Raiders get shutout.
Kicker Sebastian Janikowski won the fan portion of the voting for the Pro Bowl, which counts for one-third of the total. The players and coaches also get one-third of the vote.
Janikowski figures to have the best chance of being selected from the Raiders. He has converted 31 of 34 field-goal attempts this season, with his misses coming from 51, 61 and 64 yards.
Even that isn't a sure thing, given the Browns Phil Dawson is 28 of 29 and the Ravens Justin Tucker 29 of 31 on field-goal attempts. Tucker also plays for a team that is 10-5 and headed to the playoffs.
Janikowski was selected to the Pro Bowl last season for the first time in his NFL career. He made 31 of 35 field-goal attempts in 2011, including an NFL record-tying 63-yarder against the Broncos in the regular-season opener.

"The only thing good about the past is your mother." Taking gleeful swipes at his own generation, the hotel industry, U.S. airlines, the Y2K hoopla, and anyone who isn't fully plugged in, Darryl Hartley-Leonard, chairman and CEO of Arlington, Va.based PGI, addressed an audience of planners and hoteliers recently about the future of meetings--a future where technology reigns and the people who really matter were born after 1970.
"A whole new race of people has been created," he told an audience at the Insurance Conference Planners Association annual meeting a few months ago. "And this is the only segment of society that matters for the future: young people." Because they're growing up with the Internet ("the be-all and end-all of how this world will do business in the future"), they are conducting business in a completely new way--remotely.
"We have been brought up to believe that the only way we can do business, do deals, is to be with people," said Hartley-Leonard, who spent 32 years at Hyatt, rising from desk clerk to chairman. "Today, young people have developed a sixth sense in judging the people they do business with." For them, relationships develop as easily through e-mail as through a series of business meetings. So: Farewell to the bulk of business travel.
"If technology has become the enabler, and if time is money, tell me again why you would get on a plane and go to Cleveland?" Hartley-Leonard asked. "You might go to London or New York but not Dubuque. If you're in the hotel business, running a four-star hotel in Dubuque is not what you want to be doing."
Hoteliers, listen up. The properties you do want to be running are large convention hotels and small luxury resorts. That's because there is one type of business travel Hartley-Leonard predicts will continue to increase: travel to meetings.
"The more you separate people, the more you need to bring them together to have a common experience, to motivate them, to influence them," he said. And make sure you put your renovation dollars in the right place: Get your rooms wired. "The future is in enabling the user to be enabled at your resort."
For the planner whose job it is to move these groups of people, to change the way attendees think and the way they behave, the key is to create an experience. "Everything is interactive," he said. "Learning is interactive, entertainment is interactive, business meetings are interactive. What you do has moved away from passive theater to interactive reality." He added, "Doing business and having fun are not incompatible. In fact, that combination is essential."
"Be different from everyone else," he charged the planners in the room. "Create value in your programs and experiences and learn how to measure that value. The world has never been better, the quality of life has never been better, young people have never been better. There are no good old days." Hartley-Leonard left the lectern with a warning: "If we do not continually reinvent ourselves, we will become tired, afraid, and irrelevant." Anyone dare to disagree? *

Cuba Libre is proof that fun food and serious food need not be mutually exclusive. Here, a great atmosphere and stellar preparations coexist beautifully. Just don't over-do it with the cocktails, though that's a difficult rule to follow here...the mojitos are epic.
Great steaks but pricey. I went here for my Birthday
Free me – Free Me! I want to go to Cubra Libre. I just don't want to have to wait in line. Maybe I should say free me from the long line. Move me onto the delicious appetizers.
I went just last week on a romantic date and this place definitely helped set the mood. This was the perfect place to cuddle up to eat and then laugh and get a little wild.
Great cuban food, cool restaurant – I recommend getting the "15 item tasting menu" if available. It's a great way to sample so many different things. My bf and I were visiting from out of town and came here on a Sunday. I've never had cuban food like this before. MMMMM. Really good flavors. That mango butter is to die for. haha.
The service is great, the restaurant decor is cool too.
Amazing food – Great drinks...great food & atmosphere and great lighting. Perfect for the special date. Although sometimes crowded on the weekend it is worht the short wait !
Great Memories – This place is amazing - I have been there several times and it just makes for a great night out. The mojitos are the best I have ever had and depending on who you are with, it could be very romantic or really crazy fun.
Cuba Libre in Phila below average – My Husband and I dine at some of the best resturants in the tri state area, Cuba Libre is not one of them. Appitizers were good, Entrees, awful in a word. We never mind a costly dinner, be cause you pay for what you get, not this time. Service was just ok, quality of the food was below average prices not so. If only the food could match the atmosphere. Definitly not a second visit!
Over priced food for the quality. Not a good environment for Romantic dates. – I went to this place with my girlfriend looking for a good cuban meal. The quality of the food was mediocre. The environment is decent but not honest. Looks like a Hollywood parody of Havana.
If you are looking for romantic night and good cuban food don't go to Cuba Libre. If you are looking for a bar and dancing just go there after 10 PM and don't dine.
Good food and drinks. Definately not group friendly! – I'm a regualar at Cuba Libre. They have excellent food and drinks. Naturally, I reccomended Cuba w/o hesitation for my friends birthday. Unfortuntely after our experience I was embarrassed for suggesting it. We had a party of 6 and were seated by the kitchen entrance and restrooms. There were constant smoking skillets passed above our heads and drunk patrons fell on us waiting for the restrooms. This definately affected our celebratory mood. If we had seen any other available seating I would have inquired to be moved.I had specified when making my reservation we were celebrating a birthday. I was suprised they hadn't sent over a complimentary dessert of some kind. While paying our bill someone finally come over with a "dessert" to my relief. But, to our dismay it was a plate with whipcream and a candle! Seriously? I informed management of my experience. She only advised me to specify seating next time because they really dont have much seating for 6 or more.There won't be a next time

Tiki Torch Fuel
Loyola University Chicago's Biodiesel Program is currently selling biodiesel tiki torch fuel. This clean burning, insect repelling fule is perfect for replacing petroleum based tiki torch fuel for barbecues, outdoor events, and restaurants.
"I come from The Land of 10,000 Mosquitoes, otherwise known as Minnesota, The Land of 10,000 Lakes. Every summer when I go camping, or spend time outside, I feel that I spend more time swatting away mosquitoes than actually enjoying myself. At night, I dare not go outside without bug spray, even though my friends tell me that the dollar size welts on my legs and arms are attractive. Living in the Midwest, and many other regions, products such as bug spray, citronella candles, and tiki torches are a must to shoo away the blood sucking pests.
"After being bitten countless times in my life I know that it is crucial to have at least one or more types of mosquitoes repellent when participating in outdoor activities. Therefore I started to wonder if there were any alternative fuel sources that could be used instead of traditional tiki torch fuel. Starting my work at Loyola's Biodiesel Program during the Fall semester of 2010 allowed me to realize that we could use biodiesel for tiki torch fuel. I went digging online and found that companies are already making this product. I decided that it was time for some healthy competition and embarked on my own process of making fuel for torches and lamps." – Michelle Stein, Class of 2012
