During my corporate career, I traveled overnight often. The Travel Department of my company reserved most of my lodging. They were privy to the best deals at certain hotels and motels. However, I was allowed to express a preference for my favorite lodging chain. The Travel Department was usually able to reserve my room at my preferred hotel. I had a preference because wherever I stayed, this particular chain offered a clean room with basic amenities and most important, no surprises. Many of the chain hotels and motels are operated by franchisees or licensees of the chain. While independently owned and operated, they are subject to inspections by the franchiser and are required to meet a standard of customer service, cleanliness, and operation. This ensures a certain quality of experience over the particular brand of lodging.
What about your B & B experience? Most B &B's are independently owned and operated and are not subject to a corporate franchiser's yearly inspection. How do you ensure that the romantic weekend you are planning at that Victorian inn doesn't end up being a fiasco? Here are some tips you may want to consider when booking a B & B stay.
While B & B's are not generally franchised, most states have regional or state B & B associations. When booking a B & B stay, look for some mention of membership in a regional or state association on the inn's web site or advertising literature. Most B & B associations perform a yearly inn inspection and report to the executive committee or association board. Many associations also monitor and occasionally mediate guest complaints. Membership in an association like this is a good indicator of an operator who is proud of their inn and is willing to open their operation for scrutiny and constructive feedback. Many tourist destinations with a high concentration of B & B type lodging may also have a local association. Look for an indication of membership in these as well. Also check the state's tourism site if they have one to see if your inn is listed and active in promotion. The Bridgeford House is a member of the Arkansas Bed and Breakfast Association (state) and Alliance of Better Bed and Breakfasts (local) as well as being listed and active on Arkansas.com (state's tourism web site.)
Another sign of a well-operated inn is membership in the local Chamber of Commerce. Many chambers have a complaint resolution policy for members and guests. Chamber membership is also a sign that the owners/operators are community-minded and attuned to customer service and a great guest experience. Look for a mention of chamber membership on web sites, literature, or ask when inquiring about a potential stay.
Lastly, see what others are saying about the inn you are considering. Well-operated inns will have reviews posted on sites such as Trip Advisor and BedandBreakfast.com. Being an inn operator and traveler, I typically throw out the best review and the worst, and see what the generally satisfied guests are saying about the inn. Too many negative reviews without rebuttal from the management indicate caution, to me.
The bottom line is to do your homework. Staying at a B & B is an investment not only in dollars, but in your comfort, happiness and unique experience as well. You are worth the effort.
Warmest regards,

Barclays aims for redemptionMay 23, 2013: 2:13 PM ET
Culture changes at banks come and go, but many fail. How Barclays plans to pull this off.
By Gary M. Stern
FORTUNE – Most corporate annual reports specialize in self-promotion and accentuating the positive. But the 2012 annual report of Barclays reads like a mea culpa.
When Barclays (BCS) was fined a whopping $453 million by regulators in the U.S. and U.K. based on allegations that the bank manipulated the Libor rate -- which affects the prices banks charge each other to borrow money and influences fees for various loans and home mortgages -- CEO Antony Jenkins vowed to overhaul and shake up the bank's culture. Of course, Barclays wasn't alone. UBS (UBS) and Royal Bank of Scotland were fined in the interest rate-rigging debacle.
The opening pages of Barclays's 2012 annual report are clear and explicit about what must be done: "Changing Barclays culture is a critical component in rebuilding trust and real change is required."
Transforming the culture of a financial services company like Barclays from one where flouting rules is pervasive to one where bankers follow regulations is no simple task. Traders are rewarded for taking risks, not playing it safe, so getting them to tow the line and follow protocols can be tricky.
Mark Burton, a London-based managing director at Barclays and global head of learning and leadership, says that breaking rules at Barclays wasn't "widespread and systematic. Some very critical decisions were made in the wrong way by a small group of people. The reality was that the organization had lost its way.

"We had to change the emphasis on short-term results over doing the right thing," Burton asserts.
Transforming the attitude at the bank involves several key steps, Burton says, including setting clear standards of behavior for all employees, creating a leadership academy that provides mandatory training for executives, and inculcating the Barclays Global Curriculum for every employee to develop leadership skills across the enterprise.
Involving the staff in leadership training is critical to making these values stick, says Jon Harding, London-based head of culture and values at Barclays. In fact, the bank's entire 140,000-person staff is undergoing values training. "If you look at successful change that has taken place in business and elsewhere, they involve the masses of people in the process," Harding says.
But most employees opt for a banking career to make money, not to consider the proper way of doing business. "Helping people achieve their ambitions -- in the right way" is noted as Barclays' core purpose. "You may achieve an outcome, but if you don't do it in the right way," Burton says, "there's an effect on how you're reviewed and your career progress."
In 2012, Barclays slashed pay and bonuses of employees to the tune of $445 million to send a message that their conduct had become unacceptable. "The board recognized that pay had become excessive, and it determined that shareholders receive an increased share of profits," Burton says. Incentives for overall compensation at the investment bank were slashed by 20%.
After performing strategic business reviews of 45 businesses in 2013, Barclays decided to extricate itself from the structured capital markets. Its review concluded that it "will not engage in complex structures where the primary objective is accessing tax benefits, which is incompatible with our purpose." Moreover, branch employee compensation was altered and is now based on client service, not sales. Burton says that this new code of conduct will be incorporated into twice-a-year performance reviews that will influence employee pay and bonuses.
Make no mistake, change is hard, and it will take years for these tweaks to become integrated into Barclays's culture, Burton notes, "The goal is simple. Make Barclays the go-to bank for all our stakeholders." Yet he admits that it needs to make major strides to regain customer trust.

But skeptics aren't convinced that Barclays -- or any financial services company -- can create a widespread ethical culture shift while it piles up profits off of previous misdeeds. "Banks are entrusted with acting on behalf of someone else instead of enriching themselves," says Kevin Jackson, author of Virtuosity in Business and a professor of law and ethics at Fordham University's Graduate School of Business. Jackson says a bank's challenge is to introduce "a sense of fiduciary duty among each and every player in the investment value chain."
To build an ethical culture, banks need to establish "client welfare" or seeing things from the client's best interests, as the number one priority of every employee, Jackson suggested. That would lead to a "renunciation of self-interest; instead putting professional standards and values ahead of individual advantage, ahead of brute profit," he says.
Maryann Bruce, consultant, former president of Evergreen Investment Services, and board member at Allianz Global Investors says, "You can't have a CEO or executive team mandate the change and hand it over to HR and marketing and then cascade down the company." The most effective way to undergo a successful culture change is to involve the entire staff. "The more you're involved, the more ownership you take. It's human nature," she says.
To give the change project resolve, reward systems must be altered, and not just involving compensation, Bruce suggests. Instead of banks' concentrating on rewarding rising sales figures, they must devise metrics that take into consideration adhering to compliance regulations.
"Change in culture doesn't happen overnight. It takes time," Bruce notes. If employees who resist ethical behavior leave, that's a good thing. New hires should be chosen based on their ethics as well as their performance, she suggests.
When banks treat integrity as foundational, it forms the starting point of establishing an ethical culture, says Jackson. "An attorney who has forfeited the basis of their reputation has forfeited their career. Not because they have broken laws, but more fundamentally, they have lost their honor."
Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Citigroup and JP Morgan were fined in the wake of the Libor interest rate rigging scandal. Both banks were subject to investigations related to the Libor scandal, but they were not fined.

Every fly fisherman needs to know how to build and repair leaders.
More often than not there are distinct advantages to building your
own leaders. You can fine tune the taper and length to suit conditions.
There are many knot alternatives but I'm going to focus on basic
My butt sections are essentially permanently installed with a perfection
loop at the end, which facilitates ease and flexibility in changing
For a typical leader-to-tippet connection I use a surgeon's knot.
For connecting very fine-diameter stuff, or if I'm in a hurry, and
want to jump more than two-thousandths (.002), I add one more turn,
and the surgeon's knot becomes a double.
If you want to really get into tying your own leaders I'd suggest
a visit to one of the many internet sites that offer pretty explicit
information on the subject. One of the best is the Global Fly Fisher
which even offers fee software, LeaderCalc. It's a spreadsheet tool
to calculate the length and diameter for each segment in a hand-tied
leader. LeaderCalc contains 70+ of the most common and popular leader
formulas ranging from delicate dry fly fishing to stout bass popper

ATLANTA — Twenty years ago, Jerry Glanville, then the goofball coach of the Atlanta Falcons, concocted a way to get under the skin of the San Francisco 49ers.
Seeing as his team the year before had swept the 49ers and Los Angeles Rams, along with beating the L.A. Raiders and San Diego, Glanville lugged an enormous trophy on the Falcons sideline at Candlestick Park for a 1992 regular-season game. He called the hardware the California State Championship Trophy.
"It drove me crazy," former 49ers tight end Brent Jones told the San Francisco Chronicle this week, recalling the trophy and the 56-17 thrashing his team put on the Falcons that day. "I was so angry at the time. Here comes this clown pulling this stunt. It was really annoying."
The 49ers and Falcons will meet Sunday at the Georgia Dome, both pursuing a far more prestigious trophy. They will square off in the NFC championship game, one win away from the Super Bowl.
About 1,000 miles north, the New England Patriots will play host to the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC crown, a rematch of last season's conference title game.
"When you're growing up, these are the kinds of games you want to be in," 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald said.
For San Francisco, the feeling should be familiar. The 49ers played host to the NFC championship game a year ago, when they lost in overtime to the New York Giants, the eventual Super Bowl winners. In that 20-17 loss, San Francisco's offense ran out of steam, and in particular its passing game. There was one completion to a wide receiver — a three-yard gain by Michael Crabtree.
The 49ers tried to address that in the off-season, signing veteran receivers Mario Manningham and Randy Moss, and using their first-round pick on Illinois receiver A.J. Jenkins. But Manningham suffered a season-ending knee injury in December, and Jenkins has been a nonfactor, active for just three games and going his entire rookie season without a catch.
Crabtree was the team's leading receiver this season with 85 catches and nine touchdowns, not counting his two scoring catches in last weekend's divisional victory over Green Bay. The news about Crabtree late Friday was that police have questioned him about an alleged sexual assault in a San Francisco hotel after the win over Green Bay. He was neither arrested nor has been charged, and police say he's cooperating with them, but the situation could be a distraction. He is expected to play Sunday.
The biggest change on San Francisco's offense was the midseason switch to second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick from Alex Smith. Kaepernick is a more explosive playmaker and last Sunday ran for a record 181 yards and two touchdowns, as well as throwing the pair of touchdowns to Crabtree.
The Falcons have had their hands full with mobile quarterbacks this season, surrendering a combined 202 yards rushing and 502 passing to Carolina's Cam Newton in two games this season, and struggling to slow Seattle's Russell Wilson in a last-second, 30-28 win over the Seahawks last Sunday.
Mike Nolan, Atlanta's defensive coordinator and former head coach of the 49ers, called Kaepernick "a game-wrecker" for a defense.
"He's got great open-field speed," Nolan said of the 6-foot-4 quarterback. "He's probably as fast as any of those guys [Newton or Wilson] in the open field."
The Falcons have an array of offensive weapons too, among them quarterback Matt Ryan, receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones, and Hall of Fame-bound tight end Tony Gonzalez.
"He's a genetic freak," 49ers safety Donte Whitner said of Gonzalez, 36, who's said to be strongly considering retirement after this season. "He's a guy who can stretch you deep. He can still catch the intermediate. Last week, he had one of the best catches by a tight end in the National Football League in the back of the end zone.
"He can still make all the plays. You got to believe if he's 95% saying he's going to retire, he really wants to get this game and get a Super Bowl. We have to understand that."
Last Sunday's victory was a breakthrough moment for the Falcons, who were 0-3 in postseason games under Coach Mike Smith. That said, Atlanta players have no plans to exhale.
"Our goal is not to win one playoff game," Ryan said. "Our goals are still in front of us."
A real trophy awaits.

Cálem 10-Year-Old Tawny Port Wine
Review: Cálem 10 Year Old Tawny Port Wine 86/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Published August 29, 2012
Much to my surprise, even though I had been occasionally indulging myself with the Cálem Ruby Port for a few years now, I found while I was doing a little research, that Cálem is pronounced "CAH-laign" not "KAY-lem" as I had previously assumed. This Port wine is (of course) produced from red grapes grown in the Douro Valley of Portugal.
Although the Port wine is red when it begins to age, tawny Port wines are aged in oak barrels which allows certain chemical reactions including oxidation to take place. The result is that the wine obtains the tawny brown colour for which it is named. Although this is a declared 10-year-old Port wine, I should caution the reader that age statements for Tawny Ports are not the same as age statements for Cognac and whisky. For this style of wine, there are official age categories of 10 Years, 20 Years, 30 Years and 40 Years; but these categories are not meant to represent the youngest wine in the blended Port. Nor do they represent an average age (although this is a very close approximation). Instead these age statements represent a blended age profile. The Cálem 10-Year-Old Tawny is therefore blended to have a taste profile representative of a 10-year-old Port wine, but the actual ages of the wines in the blend are subject to the blender's skill in achieving a balanced taste profile each year.
I came upon the chance to review this particular Cálem Port quite by accident. When Woodman Wines and Spirits learned I was looking for a suitable aged Tawny Port in my mad desire to construct a "Millionaire Punch". They suggested that they could send me a bottle of the Cálem 10 Year to help the recipe's construction. The Cálem Tawny had all of the characteristics I was looking for, and so I agreed to receive the bottle. Since I would not need the entire bottle for my punch recipe, I decided I would review this wine here on my website as well. Now, I am not positive about this, but I believe Woodman Wines and Spirits advised me that only 75 cases of the Cálem 10 Year Old Tawny Port are available in Ontario at the LCBO. So if you want to seek out at least bottle or two, my suggestion is that you act reasonably quickly.
In case you are wondering, my "Millionaire Punch" was an unmitigated disaster, and I regret that 4 oz of this wonderful Port Wine was subjected to my dreadful experiment.
In the Bottle 4/5
I have indicated in the past that I am not particularly enamored with the average bottle presentation for Port Wines. They all look so similar to me. The Cálem 10 Year Old Tawny represents the same trend. I think perhaps, that the wine houses in Portugal feel that their name alone is sufficient to garner the attention of the consumer. And perhaps they are right within their current major markets. But, I do not live in one of these major markets for Port Wine, and even my friends who occasionally drink aged Port do not really have a very firm grasp of the differences in style between the different Port Wine Houses. A little pizzazz on the bottle and a little more history on the label would go a long way in pushing my friends and I to buy one brand over another. The Cálem 10-Year-Old Tawny does provide some basic information on the bottle, that it is a 10-year-old tawny port, and that it is bottled at 20 % alcohol by volume.
But I'll be honest, the shelf presentation is not what I would call inspiring.
In the Glass 22/25
I should point out that for myself, wine is a much more aromatic experience than is distilled spirits. For this reason I place a much higher emphasis on the aroma in the glass than I do for spirits like rum and whisky. For this particular port wine, after I poured myself a glass, I allowed my Port wine to breathe for 5 minutes prior to beginning my examination.
In the glass, the tawny port exhibits a rich aroma of dry fruit, (prunes, dates and raisins) and brown sugary baking spices (Vanilla, cinnamon and Demerara sugar). I also notice some nice fresh fruit scents welling up which remind me of blackberries, fresh BC cherries and red currant. A few freshly bitten dark plums, some ripe raspberry, and a touch of coffee and chocolate round out the breezes above my glass. This is very nice.
In the Mouth 43/50
The Port wine is moderately sweet leading out with fresh cherry and ripe raspberry flavours. Along with that fresh taste of ripe berries, some darker dry fruit appears (raisins and figs) with a few hints of oak, toffee and cocoa. There is a light tannic bitterness present which appeals to me a lot, as the Port wine puckers my mouth just slightly opening my palate to the onrush of fresh fruit and berries. The Cálem 10 Year Tawny Port, despite its age, is youthful in the mouth, bursting with vitality.
My only complaint regarding this Port wine was that I found these wonderful flavours had very little staying power. My bottle began to taste much different on day 2. The vitality of the fresh fruit and berries had disappeared replaced by a much drier port full of raisins and grape skins. The flavours of skins and raisins increased each day until I finished the bottle on day 7. Usually my Port wines keep their vitality longer than this, and the lack of staying power is keeping the scores down a little.
In The Throat 13/15
The freshly opened Cálem has a lovely finish bursting with fresh raspberries and BC cherries which fades slowly revealing layers of sweet dry fruit and Demerara sugar. The Cálem which was in my refrigerator for more than one day was much less appealing, so I advise you to consume your bottle in one sitting or to get yourself one of those handy bottle pumps which remove the air from an opened bottle before you put it away for the evening,
The Afterburn 4/5
My cold room is full of Late Bottle Vintage Ports, (both filtered and unfiltered) as well as a few Ruby Ports and German Rieslings. But, until now I really had not wanted to add any Tawny Ports to my wine selection. I like the youthful exuberance of the sweeter LBV and Ruby Ports. However, I have now found a Tawny Port which will be a welcome add to the selection. The Cálem 10 Year Old Tawny has all of that youthful exuberance which I seek in a good dessert wine.
I would have scored this wine much higher (in the 90s for sure) if the fresh vitality of the wine had more staying power, but having said that, the freshly opened bottle is so good that my score still reached 86.
If you are interested in some comparative reviews, here is a link to all of my Port Wine Reviews!
My Final Score is out of 100 and you may (loosely) interpret the score as follows:
0-25 A wine or spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair wine. You may accept a glass graciously.
75-79 This is a wine of sufficient quality that you may begin to serve it to friends.
80-84 This is a quality wine which will bring you compliments.
85-89 Excellent for special friends and special occasions.
90-94 Definitely a premium quality wine, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

"A new era of advanced navigation systems: automatically updated, even in a moving car"
- DBMS (Database Management System) technology applied in a way that updates only the latest most current maps
... Requires less than 1/1000 of the storage space of previous models; fast download available via wireless networks
- Plans to apply the new technology in stages to various models including the 'softman' brand in the first half of 2014
SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- HYUNDAI MNSOFT, a vehicle infotainment company under Hyundai Motor Group specializing in navigation, black boxes, location-based service (LBS) and Telematics, has successfully developed a new technology that delivers incremental updates of the latest maps to automotive navigation systems, while in a moving car via the widely available wireless network.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140219/HK66211 )
The development of technology that allows incremental updates of only the latest map data while in a moving car, anytime and anywhere, is a major breakthrough in this fast-advancing industry. The new technology, which has strong commercial potential in the mass market, is closer to a full-fledged commercial launch.
A host of companies in Japan and Europe have attempted to develop such innovative solutions, only to fail in achieving the technological prowess that allows for incremental updates of only the latest maps for navigation systems in a moving vehicle.
HYUNDAI MNSOFT's breakthrough technology is built on mobile phone tethering (using a mobile phone as a Wi-Fi network host). Users can hook up their automotive navigation systems to the wireless network, while on the go, which in turn allows for incremental updates of map data to the navigation systems.
In particular, HYUNDAI MNSOFT developed and applied a mobile DBMS (Database Management System) to set up incremental updates of only the latest changes to map data. The mobile DBMS significantly reduces the download file size to 10-30 megabytes (MB), which is less than 1/1000 the size of the previous models, which would have to download the entire map database of 4-8 gigabytes (GB).
It takes less than a minute to download the map data updates via the LTE (4G) mobile network, and the time it takes for the downloaded file to update on the navigation system has been significantly reduced to 15-20 minutes. In addition, users can access the navigation system even while it is updating, and once the update is complete, they can use the updated database immediately upon rebooting the system. The period between updates has been shortened to once a week -- the optimal cycle for providing users with the latest map data.
Since early 2011, HYUNDAI MNSOFT has invested R&D resources to this top-notch technology for incremental map data updates. As a result of these efforts, HYUNDAI MNSOFT
All in all, HYUNDAI MNSOFT's endeavors have led to a new, cutting-edge navigation technology.
The incremental update technology will be embedded in the new 'softman' navigation models within the third quarter of 2014. The company will gradually expand the adoption of the new technology in the After Market and OEM market, as well as overseas markets.
HYUNDAI MNSOFT has finished registering 20 patent applications so far, including six applications in overseas markets.
HYUNDAI MNSOFT (www.hyundai-mnsoft.com) is a vehicle infotainment company under Hyundai Motor Group. The company leads the navigation software (SW) market with its flagship 'MAPPY' and 'GINI.'
HYUNDAI MNSOFT has also entered the hardware market for navigation systems and black boxes on the strength of its world-class map software technologies. Among its hardware brands, 'softman' is an in-vehicle infotainment device brand highlighting technology based on human sensibility, while 'PONTUS' is a premium-product brand associated with state-of-the-art technologies.
HYUNDAI MNSOFT has been promoting its navigation software brand SPEEDNAVI in the global market, while actively exporting black boxes under the 'softman' brand to markets such as China, North America, Russia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Anthropology is a holistic study of humankind that encompasses archaeology, socio-cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology. It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on the sciences, humanities, and social studies. Students have opportunities to conduct fieldwork in any of the subfields. For majors, this can comprise a senior thesis. Grinnell's anthropology major prepares students for graduate school as well as careers domestically and internationally in such fields as museology, regional planning, journalism, business, social services, and more.

Derek Taylor: Surprises, struggles mark first half of prep football season
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Unlike coaches and players, being a sportswriter comes with the advantage of getting the occasional mulligan.
With the 2012 high school football season being as unpredictable as any seen in recent years, especially in Class AA, this week provides the perfect opportunity to revisit playoff projections first published in this space two months ago.
Every team in the state has played at least half of its regular-season schedule. Some have lived up to the expectations placed upon them in the preseason by coaches, fans and media. Others have quickly learned that there's a significant difference between 7-on-7 passing competitions and football when linemen get involved.
Midway through the year, the state's most pleasant surprises have come from 11 schools that were not projected to be in the hunt for postseason berths when initial assessments were made in July. Among these, Class AAA schools Wheeling Park (currently 4-2 and projected to finish eighth to host a first-round game), Logan (5-1, 11th), Oak Hill (4-1, 12th) and Hampshire (3-2, 15th) appear in position to crash the big-school playoff party.
Others, like Capital (3-2, losers of two straight games and projected to finish 20th and out of the playoffs for the second consecutive year) have hit snags along the way, but remain in contention for the time being. After starting the year with three consecutive wins, the Cougars have dropped back-to-back games to fellow playoff contenders South Charleston (3-3, 13th) and Hurricane (3-2, 17th).
The biggest element of such projections is a team's remaining schedule. For instance, Capital has perhaps the most challenging set of games remaining of any Class AAA contender. The Cougars still must face Cabell Midland (6-0 and projected to earn Class AAA's top seed), Huntington (4-1, 2nd), George Washington (4-1, 3rd), Beckley (4-2, 16th). Capital hosts rival Riverside (1-4) on Friday night at University of Charleston Stadium.
The Cougars must face this schedule with a starting lineup that relies heavily on sophomores as well as freshman quarterback Tyrhee Pratt.
It will be a tall order, although not impossible, to overcome.
Hurricane, which beat the Cougars last week, is in a similar boat. However, the Redskins' 23-20 win last Friday put them in considerably better position to earn their third straight playoff spot. It will tough, however, as South Charleston Coach John Messinger said after beating Capital on Sept. 21.
"I don't think 6-4 is going to get you in (the playoffs)," Messinger said. "At least, you're not going to be sure. I think it's going to take seven wins to make sure you get a spot this season.
"There's a lot of teams across the state whose schedules are going to allow them to get to six wins, so I think there's going to be a log jam of teams right there."
Messinger's known for his weightlifting acumen but his math isn't too shabby, either. The Secondary School Activities Commission playoff rating formula, which grants 12 points for a win against a Class AAA team, nine points for a win over a Class AA team, six points for a win against a Class A team then grants the original winning team a bonus point for every game won by its defeated foes against teams of equal or greater class is fairly basic. Some time-consuming arithmetic and a tracking of trends can reveal the teams most likely to contend for postseason berths without the need for a crystal ball or tea leafs.
In Class AAA, that glut appears to include school such as Hurricane, Parkersburg South (3-3), Beckley and Lewis County (4-2). Point Pleasant (4-1) and Hampshire (3-2) will also likely be in this mix, as both play schedules heavily flavored with Class AA teams that yield fewer base points.
The biggest eye-opener comes in Class AA, where half of the class has already made at least one appearance in the weekly Daily Mail Poll. Although the poll has no bearing on the playoff race, it is an indicator of just how unpredictable the sport's middle class has been in the first year of the SSAC's new classification cycle.
While all teams are still chasing preseason favorite and defending state champion Wayne (5-0), there are six teams - Frankfort, Liberty (Raleigh), Wyoming East, Webster County, Petersburg and Tolsia - that currently are in position to make playoff runs after being viewed as also-rans in the summer. Petersburg (4-1) made its debut in the Daily Mail poll this week at No.10, but the Vikings have not made a playoff appearance since 1993.
That year, they finished the regular season at 7-3 and dropped a 14-3 decision in the first round to second-seeded and eventual state champion East Bank.
Petersburg has already matched its win total from 2008-11 this season. The Vikings were 4-35 in those four seasons.
Of the 48 teams currently projected to qualify for the postseason, one-third missed the playoffs a year ago. Of those 16 schools, nine of them compete in Class AA.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Poor West Indies no match for Jayawardene
Mahela Jayawardene produced yet another classic Twenty20 master class scoring 98 runs during a 166 run partnership with Kumar Sangakkara as the pair helped Sri Lanka set the West Indies a victory target of 196.
Having won the toss Sri Lanka got off to a nervous start against the West Indies fast bowlers with Kemar Roach and Jerome Taylor creating a small amount of swing and utilising the bounce in the wicket to unsettle the openers.
Having survived Roachs first over Sanath Jayasuriya was lucky to remain at the crease after Kieron Pollard put down an easy catch at backward point much the to annoyance of Taylor at the start of the second over.
Jayasuriya continued to ride his luck surviving another chance three balls later after he appeared to glove behind an easy catch but TV replays clearly showed the ball coming off his arm guard.
After creating two chances it was third time lucky for the West Indies at the start of the next over when Roach forced Jayasuriya (6) into rushing his shot with a short ball with the opener glanced to short fine leg where Taylor took an easy catch to leave Sri Lanka 7-1.
With Jayasuriya gone Jayawardene () was joined at the crease by Sri Lanka skipper Sangakkara (68) and the pair played a classic innings building a partnership of ** runs as they built the foundations of Sri Lankas innings.
The partnership was lead by Jayawardene who enjoyed another impressive innings as he scored his third half century to easily become the highest run scoring in the tournament by some margin.
As he displayed in the previous two games Jayawardene played a mixture of classic cricket strokes and big shots proving once again Twenty20 cricket isnt just about slogging the ball out of the ground.
Having started the game full of hope the West Indies quickly went off the boil after Jayawardene and Sangakkara stamped their authority on the game.
Poor fielding, lacklustre bowling and missed stumpings blighted the hosts innings as they did everything possible to help Sri Lanka score a big total at the Kensington Oval.
Sangakkara brought up his 50 in the 14th over with a well placed single through deep midwicket as the pairs partnership past 140 runs.
With five overs remaining the pair pushed on punishing some really disappointing bowling from the West Indies scoring another 41 runs before Dwayne Bravo finally broke through to remove Sangakkara (68) ending the pairs partnership which had reached 166.
With his partner gone Jayawardene punished Bravo with a massive six and then a boundary to move within 3 of his second Twenty20 International century.
Having taken a single from the first ball of Roachs final over Jayawardene was left stranded at the non strikes end as Chamara Jayawardene was unable to get the opener on strike for any of the final five balls as Sri Lanka ended their innings with a total of 195-3.
After being given a master class in batting by Jayawardene; the West Indies will have their work cut out to chase down such a big total. With the hosts confidence hitting rock bottom during the innings Sri Lanka will know if they pick up a couple of early wickets they could wrapped up a big victory.

With spring weather not firmly entrenched around the nation, the house and garden tour season is getting into gear, providing an excellent opportunity to get style ideas for your own house or apartment.
Tours of Renovated Homes
When many people think of house tours, they immediately envision well-known homes of historic or architectural significance, like the White House or Philip Johnson's Glass House in Connecticut or The Octagon House in San Francisco — sites with a mostly unchanged, museum-like quality. However, the best renovation, decorating, and furnishing ideas often come from houses, townhomes, and apartments that have undergone extensive renovation or remodeling, giving them a more up-to-date look that might be more in line with current tastes.
In Brooklyn, New York, for instance, the Park Slope House Tours includes many buildings with 19th-century exteriors but updated interiors that range widely in approach, from the Victorian to the highly contemporary to the eco-friendly. Like many tours, the Brooklyn series is run by a local historical society, and many tours of new and renovated homes around the nation are organized by the American Institute of Architects, such as those offered by the San Francisco and Seattle AIA chapters.
Virtual House & Garden Tours
Taking a broader view of house tours, walking, driving, or bicycling is not necessary in these Internet days, and even overseas house tours are available online, like Buckingham Palace and other homes of the British monarchy. On the website that you're on now, for instance, Bob Vila takes you through several house and garden tours, such as a "green" apartment in the South Bronx and Frederick Law Olmstead's house in the Boston area. And you can also find house tours on YouTube.com, including celebrity homes, such as the Versace house in Florida and several Hollywood homes (though film or video quality can vary widely). And on a very practical level, virtual tours are often available on homes for sale.
Checklist for House & Garden Tours
The in-person experience, of course, remains unique — and provides the most fun. Often, tour providers supply floor plans, brochures, or renovation information that one can save for future reference, and depending on the tour rules, you might take snapshots with a regular or cellphone camera. While on the premises, there's nothing to stop you from taking notes when going through a checklist of key areas, focusing on the areas that need to be addressed in your own home, on your budget:
Renovations & Remodelings
- What types of materials were used, either to achieve historical accuracy or to modernize the property?
- Were there changes in the use of space, such as an expanded kitchen or new storage areas?
- How were major systems updated, such as electricity, plumbing, heating, and air conditioning?
- What eco-friendly changes have been made?
- Do you notice special considerations for children or pets?
Floors & Walls
- How were the floors finished? What type of stain? Wide or narrow boards?
- Is there a rug design that you like (perhaps you can find a similar one that fits your budget)?
- Would the home's color scheme work in your house or apartment?
- Is there an interesting use or choice of wallpaper and window treatments?
- How were special situations handled, such as interior brickwork?
- Do smoke detectors and other safety devices blend in with the home's look?
- What styles of artwork work best in particular homes?
- Do you like the period fixtures or would you prefer more modern lights?
- How have the windows and/or skylights been designed or updated?
Kitchens & Baths
- What type of look do you prefer? Are there accessories (e.g., mirrors, clocks) that would work well in your own space?
- What types of appliances are being used?
- What interesting finishes are in the home, such as cabinet knobs or granite countertops?
Living Areas
- Does the tour home have some unique furniture pieces that would work for you?
- Are there arrangements or combinations that you never considered?
- Have TVs, stereos, and other electronic devices been integrated into the space?
- Do you like the fireplace masonry and hardware?
- Do you see any interesting ideas for plants, flowers, or garden arrangements?
- Can you tell what type of outside lighting is being used?
- Are there intriguing deck or patio ideas, such as layout, lighting, furniture, or grilling/cooking setups?
- Do walkways and driveways have design elements (e.g., brick borders) that would work at your home?

Pizza >Bazbeaux Pizza
334 Massachusetts Ave, Indianapolis, IN | Directions 4620439.771890 -86.153398
Neighborhoods: Central Indianapolis
Best za in town – My wife and I first had dinner with friends here, and we never stopped going. We live in Carmel, but will drive to Mass Ave. for the ambiance and great service. Highly recommend!
Great food, friendly staff! – I've been going to Bazbeaux's for years now and it's always great and the staff is always nice. I've done carryout, the express lunch menu, and actually dined in. I've never been disappointed with the food or service. If you're not big on it being noisy or busy I would avoid the lunch hour during the week, but it's perfect for a quick sit-down bite or take-out since they sell by the slice during the week.
Overall, I think it's the best pizza place in the city and well worth trying if you haven't before.
Great Pizza- Fast – Love it. Great crust and flavor- The Quattro is my favorite. We often get it at work and there is never a complaint!
Good za – Nice atmosphere although it can get really crowded and noisy at times -- the price of success of and popularity. Outdoor sidewalk seating. Oh, and GOOD pizza.
ok, not great – We went to Bazbeaux's a few weeks ago with my girlfriends family. We were seated in just a few minutes, but felt a little crammed in to the small table they gave the six of us We got the cheese bread, and it was ok, nothing spectacular. My girlfriend and I shared the quattro formagio pizza. It had four different cheeses on it along with bacon and mushrooms. It was good, but I would have liked to have had a little less ricotta cheese on it. There were huge scoops on it and it dominated the flavor. If I go back I will definitely try something different.
So So Pizza – I also heard nothing but good things about this place and was dissapointed by what I got. Overprised and the food was just fair. Nothing special at all. Service not that good either.
Not what they used to be – Cher said it best...If I could turn back time. I remember when Bazbeaux was down the street in a two car garage. The help was friendly, food came out fast,and interestingly, no wait. That has all changed.My wife and two kids stopped into the place a couple of weeks ago and I must say, we will never go back. The pizza took 45 min. and when we got it it was the wrong order. Deciding not to wait for a new one we ate the pizza anyway.After about 30 min the waitress decided to check back with us.We now drive up to Fishers and dine at the Greeks Pizzaria. Wish they would open one here...
Great Pizza in Indy – Got to love Bazbeaux! It is awesome. My favorite is the 4 cheese--not sure if the spelling is right, but quatro formaggio.
Good pizza, Poor customer service – We had heard nothing but great things about this place, so we were excited to try it. We arrived at 6:15 on a Friday night and expected a long wait. They hostess told us it would be 40-45 minutes. Fine. We waited 45 minutes and went to check with the hostess if we were up soon. She was extremely rude and said, "I have no idea. We will seat you as soon as there is a table available." I asked if it would be 15 minutes, or another 45 and she snapped back, "I have no idea." About 15 minutes later (7:15, an hour after we arrived) we were seated and immediately placed our order with our waittress. After waiting for our pizza for 45 minutes, our kids started getting restless REALLY hungry, so we asked one of the servers for some crackers or something for our 4 and 5-year olds. He said, "We don't have any crackers." We asked if we could have bread or chips or anything. He rolled his eyes and said, "We do have garlic bread, but we would have to make it." And then walked away, muttering, "We are just busy tonight." Our waittress came by and we asked how much longer for the pizza. She said, "6 minutes." 10 minutes later, at 8:15 (an hour after our order was placed and 2 HOURS after arriving at the restaraunt) we finally had our pizza. It tasted terrific. Probably the best pizza we ever had, but we couldn't decide if it was because it really was the best pizza we ever had or we were just so hungry after the 2 hours wait. Rude staff, SLOW service, great pizza. We won't go back.
Unprofessional Managment/Poor Customer Service – I can't believe how much I raved about my past experiences with Bazbeaux's Pizza. We expected a busy night when a group of my friends gathered for pizza, some for the first time at Bazbeaux's. There was an hour and a half wait, so we put our name in and left to get a drink to use up some time. We called twice just to check if the wait had changed and were given the amount of time left on our wait. We still arrived 15 mintues before our wait time was scheduled to end, and the host said we was still waiting for some people to leave and it would in fact still be 15 more minutes...no problem. My husband left with his friend to move his sport bike out of the pouring rain and in 2 minutes they called for our party. 4 out of 7 of us walked up to the hostess stand and they wouldn't seat us. We said they'll just be right back, they were parking a bike in a garage because it was pouring rain. Nope. Another large group had just come in and were seated before us because they were all right there. Come on. We waited an hour and half to eat and they just gave away our table like it was nothing. Apon asking for a manager to rectify the situation we were rudely greeted by a man in jean shorts and a t-shirt claiming to be the manager and if we didn't want to wait then we had better just leave. Now that's some customer service for you. His name was Chuck and his professionalism went right out the window and blew away with the rain that night. We ran down the street to the Front Page because at that point we just needed to get out of the rain and eat. Chuck from Bazbeaux's must be a fan of the Front Page too, because he stopped in 4 times while we were there to chat up the waitstaff.

The Last Soviet Dreamer: Conversations with Leonid Potemkin
A public lecture by JOCHEN HELLBECK, Rutgers University, History
Published: Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Please install flash or upgrade to a browser that supports HTML5 video
Soviet diaries from the 1930s offer striking insights into the personal and inner dimensions of the Bolshevik revolution. In contrast to popular belief that Soviet citizens sought to cultivate a private existence in contradistinction to the totalitarian communist ideology, many of those who kept diaries during the Stalin period used them to instill their personal lives with the values of the unfolding revolution. They dreamed the Soviet dream, a dream that promised fulfillment in the act of making history and joining the vanguard of humanity. Leonid Potemkin, a student of geology in the 1930s and an avid diarist, survives to the present day. Video interviews with Potemkin conducted in 2004 and 2005 address the memory of the Stalin era today and the continued commitments on the part of a surviving diarist from that age. The interviews also showcase the epistemological and ethical problems that accrue from the investigation of intimate personal accounts in the presence of their surviving author.
Jochen Hellbeck is an Associate Professor of History at
. He is the author of Revolution on My Mind: Writing a Diary under Stalin(Harvard University Press, 2006), and the co-editor of Autobiographical Practices in Russia (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2004). His research focuses on autobiographical accounts and people's self-understandings in historical perspective. Rutgers University

Does it still make sense to buy a Nook HD?
I suppose the writing was on the tablet. Back in May, ostensibly in honor of Mother's Day, Barnes & Noble whipped out some pretty hefty discounts on its Nook HD and Nook HD+.
Then, earlier this month, the cuts went even deeper for Father's Day, with the 7-inch and 8.9-inch slates selling for $129 and $149, respectively. But even after the holiday came and went, the discounted prices remained -- and now we know why: B&N is getting out of the color-tablet business.

Trumpeter Awards
Florence Kelley Awardee: Paheadra Robinson
Jackson native Paheadra Robinson joined the Mississippi Center for Justice (MCJ), a public interest law firm committed to advancing racial and economic justice, in August of 2006. She currently directs MCJ's Consumer Legal Resource Center, where she has built a coalition aimed at abolishing predatory payday lending throughout the state of Mississippi.
In addition to private practice, Robinson's experience includes serving as legislative counsel to three House committees: Conservation and Water Management, Juvenile Justice, and Municipalities. Her knowledge of the Legislature and its players have been instrumental in opening important Capitol doors for the Center for Justice.
In the spirit of NCL's first Executive Secretary Florence Kelley, for whom this award is named, Paheadra is a true community activist. Her interest in social justice and welfare led her to co-found the Mississippi-based Fresh Start Foundation to provide direct financial aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina. Recognized for her tireless commitment to the state of Mississippi, Robinson was recently selected to participate in Jackson's Parents for Public Schools' Leadership Institute, which trains an engaged network of parent leaders to implement school improvement projects and increase school performance.
Robinson attended Jackson's Lanier High School and is a graduate of Tougaloo College and the University of Mississippi School of Law. Paheadra and her husband Mike, also an attorney, live in Jackson with their two young sons, Kameron and Kristopher.

Apple iPhone 3G S
A welcome upgrade makes the iPhone even more formidableWrite your own review
- Faster and more powerful
- new features and holes in spec plugged
- larger hard disk
- same sky-high AV performance
- class-leading interface
- It'
- s not cheap – if you'
- re paying for it that is...
At the time of writing Steve Jobs had only just returned to Apple after six months' medical leave. With Nokia and others mounting fresh challenges to his empire, the iPhone 3G S is the company's latest move to consolidation.
Think of that 'S' like 'GTI' on a Golf, or 'Quattro' on an Audi: the processor is up to 600MHz from 412MHz, and RAM is doubled to 256MB, which makes nipping around the myriad of features far quicker.
Battery life is boosted to nine hours for Wi-Fi, 10 hours for video and 30 hours for audio, and this model has a 32GB hard disk.
See all our multimedia phone reviews
The much-maligned camera has also been boosted to 3 megapixels (though there's still no flash) and it's capable of video recording too, along with basic on-board video editing.
The screen has been given added smudge-resistance, there's integrating for the Nike+Apple software, a geek-pleasing compass feature (yes, of course we like it) and voice control if you want to feel like a secret agent.
Software upgrade impresses
The integrated version 3.0 software (also available to all existing iPhone and iPod Touch users) also brings features such as text cut, copy and paste, picture messaging, the ability to buy or rent movies, a search function, landscape keyboard operation and turn-by-turn navigation.
This certainly feels like an update rather than a new product, but there are worthwhile upgrades here – the camera, video, copy and paste, MMS – and the improved speed and battery are all outstanding.
We've barely time to mention the audio and video quality. To our ears, audio on the S sounds identical to the previous generation (i.e. superb). However, video does look a little cleaner and sharper, but with a paler colour palette. Regardless, in isolation, it's still excellent.
The new software is a must upgrade, and there's no denying the new iPhone 3G S is a more accomplished product. Another good job, Jobs.
