Reviews for Confetti Spaghetti
"Tasty - and a nice, lighter substitute for regular spaghetti. Also made this with penne pasta - easier for toddlers and young children to eat. And added extra tomato sauce."
"I followed this recipe exactly except for a little less cayenne pepper, and all I can say is blah, blah, blah. No flavor at all! My husband liked it but he likes everything so he doesn't count. I won't be making this again and it was a huge disappointment ."
"Read all of the reviews, only change I made was to use 10 oz. of jarred spaghetti sauce instead of the 8 oz of tomatoe sauce. This is so very good and easy to make with plenty for leftovers. I think this will be even better the next day. This is a keeper for sure and if you need to feed a crowd this recipe will do it, just add bread and a little salad and you have dinner. Good recipe."
"My family liked this recipe better than another baked spaghetti recipe I usually make. I used diced can tomatoes with oregano, basil, and garlic and I left out the garlic powder."
"Love this casserole! It's like spaghetti meats chili, so it's a crowd pleaser. Even for the kids!"
"I have made this recipe many times since it was first published. I always use a 16oz jar of spaghetti sauce and a can of Rotel in lieu of the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Sometimes I substitute ground italian sausage for a portion of the hamburger meat. It's always tastes delicious and every time I serve it to company, they love it."
"This was a quick and easy dish to prepare, put it in the fridge for one of my late work nights so hubby had it out and heating up when I got home. Does need a little more sauce and the seasonings seemed to cook out but not sure if that was because it had been refrigerated or not. I could still catch the cayenne pepper so we just added a bit of salt and pepper on top and it was very good. Just a small amount leftover from 2 of us and he ate it the next day. Will definitely make it again."
"This was just ok. Nothing special or fancy here. Basically spaghetti baked in the oven. I've had other baked spaghetti recipes that were better."
"I love this recipe but I also add additional sauce and like to use small egg noodles instead of spaghetti. It holds together better and is easier to eat. It's also nice to change the cheese to Italian Blend (pre-shredded in bag).Always a winner at potlucks!"
"I make something like this but I leave out brown sugar and add corn...yummy!"

DESPERATELY SEEKING THE EXIT offers a comical, behind-the-scenes peek at how this $6 million musical was made and unmade: hatching the idea, deals with MGM, Debbie Harry and even Madonna; the workshops, the previews, the scathing reviews, closing night and beyond! "Highly entertaining. A salutary lesson to anyone looking to the stage for fame, fortune and happiness." -- British Theatre Guide "Hilarious. The man can tell a story." -- Naples News "Like SMASH on speed.

How to Beat Poker Table Bullies
In previous articles, I have discussed methods of fighting back against poker table bullies. These pesky semi-maniacal players in your no-limit cash game or tournament accumulate chips by sheer aggression. They don't like to show down a lot of hands, they put immense pressure on other players every hand they're involved in, and they occasionally get lucky and/or have the best hand in order to stay in the game.
Table bullies capitalize on both weak players who don't have the heart to put money into the pot, and tight-aggressive players who don't like to put in their money without what seems to be a lock hand. I would probably classify myself into the latter description – as I'm sure many of you would also. I'd like to outline an example hand that I recently participated in to give you an example of how to use their aggression to your advantage.
Slowplay the maniac and trap him for all his chips. Let me set the stage for the following hand: an online casual late-night $2/4 no-limit hold'em cash game. The player directly to my left decided to play table bully by making every hand expensive before the flop and then not hesitating to shove in the rest of his chips on the flop, turn, and river if necessary.
While the counter-strategy to this style seems obvious (wait for monster hands and call the big bets), he sucked out on a couple of big hands against other opponents. Not wanting to turn it into an expensive coin flip, most of us are praying, "PLEASE let me pick up those pocket Aces before this guy dumps his money off to someone else". Unfortunately for me, the Aces didn't come. However, the following hand came up:
I was dealt Ad-8c from the small blind. Certainly not a powerhouse, but with the maniac and two other limpers in the pot it seemed worthy of another $2. The bully in the big blind checked to a flop of Ac-8h-4d, giving me top two pair. Of course, table bullies love to take control so I decided to check and let him do just that. It was an unconnected, unsuited board and I didn't doubt that he was going to bet out. To my chagrin, he just checked.
Play moved on to the early position limper who made a $16 bet. The late position limper folded and I just called the bet. Without delay, the table bully goes all-in! Jackpot! The original bettor thinks for a while before finally folding. The bully had more than I did (about $300) so I already had the checkbox on "Call". Normally, I might hesitate and worry about a set in this position but rarely (if ever) will I lay down top two pair on the flop with a board like that. I make the call and the bully is forced to show his 7-2 offsuit – the worst possible starting hand in hold'em. I have a scare when a 3 came on the turn, but the river with a K to give me a sizeable pot. That works for me. Our table bully was crippled and busted out shortly thereafter.
I like this hand for its comedic purposes and the awful bluff the bully tried to run, but there is a lesson in its workings. Such players are not uncommon in no-limit hold'em cash games or tournaments, especially online. When a player tries to take control every hand, you should let him do the betting for you when you have a monster hand. If you bet out big to try to build a pot, these bullies will often be scared away. Remember, they like to dominate the action and win pots without showdowns.
This strategy echoes a sentiment Doyle Brunson shared in his book Online Poker: if you're playing heads-up against a highly aggressive player, let him do the betting for you, fire a second bullet, and then get him for a raise on the river. If you aren't fortunate enough to get in all your opponent's money on the flop as I did, you definitely should consider slowplaying table bullies on a harmless board.

One Year Later, Japan City Sees Light—in a Long Tunnel
SENDAI, Japan—A year after this city in Japan's northeast was slammed by a gigantic earthquake and tsunami, it is experiencing a boom reminiscent of the country's bubble economy a quarter century ago.
Japan: One Year On
Dump trucks from as far away as Okinawa rumble through snowy streets, lights are back on in its once-deserted entertainment district, and sales of German cars and Italian handbags are brisk.
The region now is getting projects such as a $4.3 billion plan for giant incinerators to process debris left by the tsunami. Wages for some jobs are doubling, according to local business owners. At the public employment office in Sendai, 17 jobs are available for each job seeker hoping to work as a traffic controller at a construction site, while 11 jobs are offered to each iron-beam worker in need of work.
But the growth, fueled by government reconstruction spending, also shows the short-term nature—and long-term limits—of post-disaster expansion. Builders are struggling to keep up with orders, the result of a labor-shortage intensified by a sharp exodus of young residents.
"It's mostly the peak working-age people who are leaving," said Seiichi Otaki, an economics professor at Tohoku University here. "This really limits the scope of reconstruction efforts."
Japan's economy was mired in a long slump before the historic natural disasters hit, and the blow was exacerbated by the Fukushima nuclear accident, which crimped the country's electricity supply, raised questions about food safety and undermined a nascent tourism promotion effort. The triple-whammy pushed the slow-growing nation back into recession, with gross domestic product contracting at an annualized pace of 6.8% during the first quarter of 2011.
The disasters left scars on Japan's economy, darkening the outlook for the already beleaguered nation. Reconstruction spending is adding to the nation's huge debt burden. The OECD projected in November that Japan's government debt would grow to 227% of its economy by 2013, compared with 200% in 2010.
The disasters also have given Japan's manufacturers more incentives to move production overseas, a setback for an economy reliant on exports for growth. In a survey conducted late last year by the Japan External Trade Organization, a government trade and foreign-investment promotion bureau, about 30% of large companies said March 11 made them consider setting up new facilities overseas or expanding existing ones.
Related Video
"We are seeing positive effects of reconstruction on the economy right now but they won't last for a long time," said Takahide Kiuchi, chief economist for Nomura Securities, who thinks the spending boost will peak in the April-June quarter. "Japan's economy could well be in worse shape than before the disasters, once reconstruction demand dissipates."
But for now at least, Japan's economy is doing well, considering the setbacks of the past year. Adding to the disasters, Japan also faced a strong yen crimping exporters and flooding in Thailand, which temporarily crippled a regional manufacturing hub for many leading Japanese companies.
Then and Now
Compare images of areas affected by the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami to see some of the progress Japan has made in its recovery efforts.
Faces of the Disaster
The disasters last March overturned the lives of thousands upon thousands of people; here are updates on some whose stories we have been following over the past year.
Ruin and Rebirth: Rikuzentakata's Struggle
Rikuzentakata: One Year On
Take a virtual tour of Rikuzentakata in northeastern Japan, one year after the city was almost destroyed by a tsunami.
Atomic Footprint
While several advanced countries prepare to curb or eliminate their nuclear power programs, heavy construction of reactors is planned in developing countries, particularly in Asia.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates Japan's economy will grow 2% this year after shrinking 0.7% last year. That equals the projected pace for the U.S. and far outpaces the euro zone's 0.2% forecast. The government's monthly consumer sentiment index, after plunging in the wake of the disasters, is now nearing pre-March 11 levels. The Nikkei Average Index has rallied 14% year-to-date, beating the 6.8% rise for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
That itself, for many Japanese looking back to the despair of last spring, is a remarkable achievement.
"For awhile, I thought Sendai was done for. I was convinced my business would go under," said Kentaro Mihara, a 47-year-old owner of a luxury-watch shop in the city's shopping district. "I never thought things would turn around so quickly."
Sales in his stores are up 30% from pre-3/11 levels, he said.
A big source of Japan's recovery is government reconstruction spending. Tokyo plans to spend 20.9 trillion yen ($258 billion) on the northeastern Tohoku region during the first two years after the disaster, providing housing for hundreds of thousands of people made homeless, rebuilding infrastructure such as ports and roads, and cleaning up the vast area in Fukushima contaminated by the nuclear accident. That mammoth budget is roughly equal to the GDP of Portugal or Chile.
The gush of money is creating what some see as a minibubble in a region that had suffered from declines in agriculture and fishery, an exodus of young people to big cities and shrinking public-works spending by the government.
But some analysts see the labor shortage as a sign of trouble awaiting Tohoku once the reconstruction boom ends, and symbolizes what many other regions in Japan face over the coming decades. Damage from the tsunami and nuclear accident prompted many to leave towns and villages for big cities, sapping energy out of communities. Onagawa, a tsunami-ravaged town, has lost 20% of its population since 3/11.
"After so many years of shrinking, we are having a hard time catching up with the orders flying in," says Hirohide Ito, secretary-general of the Miyagi General Construction Association, a local trade group. The labor shortage is met in part by workers brought in from other parts of Japan, who have filled up the area's hotels and apartments.

This plugin is great for what its supossed to do. Google Fonts For WordPress.
But it added one thing it wasn't supposed to. Social buttons in my posts.
I had to disable all my plugins to know which one added this. If the developers want to add such I thing, at least this should be disabled by default.
Other that its all good.
Thank you. At last I can asign Khmer font to specific text in post editor!
Great plugin - thanks - it works like a charm - easy, non overhead - in one word great!
Upped my rating because this plugin is by far by fave. Was frustrated with wordpress update and was being a jerk.
By far EASIEST, most user friendly & straightforward font plugin to be found.
Also: Plugin author is very kind & patient, and made sure to take the time to respond and explain when I was cranky that it momentarily did not work after the WP update.
It just does what it says, and does perfectly
I have TRIED many plug-ins trying to integrate google fonts into my visual editor but none has worked as well as this one.
So far it didn't clash with any of the other plug-ins(TinyMCE Advanced 3.5.9) I have. I use wordpress 3.8.1
The installation process is painless compared to some others. I got it up In 2 mins, compared to others that took me more than an hour (and still couldn't work)
I like the straightforward interface of this one. Preview the font, install and use! Best of all, it allowed me to use all sizes from 6-48!
This is a dream for non-coders like me.

Adrenaline junkie, 83, to drive a NASCAR race car
Published: Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 9, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
COLUMBUS — Tryon Estates resident Bonnie Zelinskie, 83, considers herself an adrenaline junkie and enjoys living life in the fast lane. So it's no surprise that she will be put the pedal to the metal Saturday by driving a NASCAR race car around the track at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord.
"I want to get up to 130 to 140 mph," Zelinksie said earlier this week in the lobby of Tryon Estates, a retirement community in Columbus. "I just want to be able to go that fast."
Zelinksie signed up for the NASCAR Racing Experience, which allows people to drive a real race car from some of NASCAR's greatest stars, such as five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon and others, according to the company's website, www.nascarracingexperience.com/.
Participants can choose their driving package, with options for riding along or driving a race car. Drivers meet with crew chiefs for instructions and the driving course is strictly monitored to ensure safety, the website says.
Zelinskie is no stranger to death-defying feats since she retired in 1984 from a 37-year career with Westinghouse Electric Company.
"I have always been a daredevil," she said.
Zelinskie has hit the slopes on a slalom course, bungee jumped, flew in a glider, floated above a wind tunnel and most recently plummeted from a plane during a tandem skydiving adventure.
"I could see the curvature of the earth," Zelinskie said. "I wanted to stay up there and never come down."
Residents and administrators at Tryon Estates aren't surprised that Zelinskie is tackling the NASCAR Racing Experience.
"She is the bravest woman I've ever met," said Nancy McKinstry, executive director at Tryon Estates.
"Nothing keeps Bonnie down on the farm," added resident Jean Rease.
Zelinskie scoffed at the idea of simply riding in the race car.
"Are you kidding? I am driving," Zelinskie said. "I don't want to just ride."
She loves to watch stock car racing and remembers going to races at Poconos Raceway in the 1980s. Now that it's her turn to get behind the wheel, she's not at all nervous.
"They all think I'm crazy and I am," Zelinskie laughed. "But that is not the point."
She is already looking for her next challenge.
"I want to go to the moon," she said.

From Our Editors
CBS Baltimore lauds Robinhood Paintball as one of the best paintball arenas near the city, but the year-round, 10-acre facility is actually eight arenas in one. Here, players clad in protective gear race around the airball field's bobbing inflatables, duck behind the wood-spool field's namesake spools or wrap their opponents in giant piles of unused thread. Elsewhere, they sneak through the tall trees and verdant brush of three wooded fields or storm the arena's towering castle. Thorough safety orientations prepare each player before they enter the facility, where referees keep watchful eyes over every game to ensure everyone's safety and compliance with the rules.

Several months ago I promised we would listen and make changes to the search site as you provided feedback. In the last two months since we launched the current search, we have been listening to your feedback and we are working to improve a few more things. If you saw the MSDN TV article you may have seen a demo I showed on the tha "advanced search UI".
We are still examining implementations, but I would like to introduce for your consideration, our first iteration of the these features. You can see the search and play with it at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/search/refinement.aspx. The features included are:
One of the first things you may notice it no more tabs. We removed the tabs because we heard from you that you didn't see them. But we also heard you wanted the content, so we combined the content into the base query and you can filter out the content you don't want. For example, if you are searching for a term like ATLAS, you can remove the blogs sites from the results.
Additionally, It is important to remember because we built on the MSN, you have the ability to build your own query with the MSN query language! The language works this way:
All Terms
term1 AND term2term1 & term2term1 term2
Console AND WriteLineConsole & WriteLineConsole WriteLine
Any Terms
term1 OR term2term1 | term2
Word OR ExcelWord | Excel
term1 -term2
FindWindow -CE
(term1 term2)
FindWindow AND (CE OR MFC)
Exact Phrase
"Provider Toolkit"
FindWindow prefer:MFC
So play, have fun, and let us know what you like and don't like. We are working on a few more features including; Narrow by Product, Narrow by Keyword, Text Suggestion, and more. You can influence this process. If something is not working let me know the query you tried, and what is the nature of the topic you are looking for. We appreciate your feedback and hope to hear from you soon.

Fehr Touches On Decertification
by Paul on 11/25/12 at 03:04 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Frank Seravalli of Frequent Flyers,
For NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr, a trip to Caesars on Saturday night was like hitting the jackpot.
It was a chance to address nearly 30 of his constituents in a two-hour meeting and address the media without a rebuttal from the NHL....
Here's the most important question and answer of the session:
Question: Is it too soon for the media to be talking about decertification?
Fehr: "I don't want to tell you what's too soon. You can look at what's happened in the other sports and make your own judgment about that."
In other words, Fehr hints at the possibility but won't commit to it. It's what you do in negotiations. As we wrote on Black Friday, the NHLPA needs to leak the threat of decertification, it's part of the MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) game theory.

We wasted 261,000 tons of food in Hawai'i in 2010. Earthworms have the power to turn food and other organic waste into rich compost. Dr. Norman Arancon, professor (and singer extraordinaire) at the UH-Hilo, is considered a national expert in vermicomposting. Vermicomposts are "stabilized organic matter that are produced by the interaction of earthworms and microorganisms under controlled conditions." Dr. Arancon provided insights on the superior qualities of vermicompost, its uses, and its potential for municipal waste processing and even toilets.
Dr. Kevin Hopkins became the 29th President of the Rotary Club of Hilo Bay in July 2016. He is an internationally-known scientist who has managed aquaculture and fisheries development projects throughout the world for more than 40 years. Both he and his wife, Margarita, teach at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
How do you grow a business over four generations from a family-run mom & pop store to a five-store chain employing over 750 associates?

Installation Ceremonies Conducted by PDG Linda Coble
Bettye Williams, a social services management consultant, was installed as the 28th president of the Rotary Club of Hilo Bay at ceremonies Monday, June 15, 2015.
Outgoing president Barbara A. Hastings, partner of Hastings & Pleadwell: A Communication Company, passed the gavel to Williams, who was installed by Linda Coble, Rotary District 5000 past governor. In her keynote speech, Coble called on Rotarians to continually "unwrap the gift" of self to share time and talent with our communities.
Other officers installed were Hastings as vice president; Kyle Kawano, secretary; Paula Uusitalo, treasurer; Kevin Hopkins, president-elect, Roy Takemoto, sergeant at arms, and Mike Carroll, attendance secretary.
Over the past year, Rotary Club of Hilo Bay, which has 56 members, contributed to Puna relief efforts, to Camp Agape for children of incarcerated parents; to the Children's Justice Center and to HOPE Services' homesless shelters. The Club screen keiki for vision issues, and participated in youth literacy projects to earthquake relief in Nepal, to helping build wash facilities in Kosovo schools and to world polio eradication. Scholarships and education grants were made to several local students and the Club donated more than $5,000 to the Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation.
Hilo Bay Oktoberfest 2015 scored again in its second year at Sangha Hall, Oct. 2, 2015. This was the 16th annual Oktoberfest the Rotary Club of Hilo Bay (RCHB) has sponsored. At the outset, Oktoberfest was at Wailoa State Park's pavilion, then it moved on to Aunty Sally's. It soon reached the walls there, and in 2014, it moved to Sangha Hall in Hilo, Hawaii.
Hilo Bay Oktoberfest now draws about 400 people, gathered for great food, excellent beer, frivolity and fundraising that supports community service projects in East Hawaii.

Andrew Iwashita, an attorney with Hawaii Family Trust Program, spoke about Alzheimer's and dementia. He urged members to understand the links between heart health and brain function— "the older you get the more you need exercise."
He said there were three ways to grow brain cells: exercise, fasting and learning new things.
Forty-one high school students from various Big Island high schools attended RYLA 2015 this year to gain leadership skills and experience.
RYLA was again successfully held at the Kilauea Military Camp from Feb.27 to March 1.
The Rotary Club of Hilo Bay sponsored seven students from St. Joseph and two students from Keaau High School.
Sharon Scheele, Anita Cunningham, and Alan Okinaka joined other Rotarians as trainers and facilitators for the leadership programs that focused on the Rotary Four Way Test. The fifth test, "Is It Fun?" was also tested and based on the student feedback on the last day, it was fun!
RYLA 2015 was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Kona and Rotarian Scott Unger served as committee chair, focusing on the logistics of the camp to keep the students safe, happy, and well fed! Rotarian Gail Takaki from the Rotary Club of Hilo chaired Programming to get the students akamai and excited about their future.
Besides the indoor activities, students spent half a day on a hike through Haleamaumau Crater which included assisting the National Parks with the eradication of the invasive flower ginger plant, and later a night visit to the always humbling glow of the Haleamaumau Caldera.
The highlight of the leadership experience was hearing the students accept their role in becoming future leaders of our communities. Hearing adults say this is one thing. Hearing the youths say this with their thoughts, words, and visions is what validates this belief.
The Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) camp is a program in the Youth Services (formerly known as New Generations) Avenue of Service, and it is our club's commitment of supporting one of six areas of focus for Rotary International, which is Basic Education and Literacy.
At the March 4 meeting, we were happy to be able to present checks to two well deserving community programs.
After our successful completion of more than 100 combined hours of work by 29 Rotarians and two friends at the HOPE Services transitional housing complex, we earned $10,000 from the Weinberg Friends program, which we presented to Brandee Menino, the CEO at HOPE. Chester Cabral, who organized our Weinberg Project, presented the check.
And Bryan Lindsay, Community Service chair, presented a $2,000 check to Pastor Charlie Kama and Dawn Tavares for Camp Agape. The Camp, held each year on Memorial Day weekend, provides skills, leadership training and fun for children of incarcerated parents.
Mahalo to the RCHB members who came out to make our Weinberg Friends Project at HOPE Services a success. At least 25 members from our Club, plus a cushion of a few from other Clubs, meant we met Weinberg's requirement of 25 members working 100 hours on the project. We had a few friends there, too.
Special call out to Lance Forsythe, who was there against doctor's orders, and to Carol VanCamp who painted in pain, and finally left for the emergency room. She wasn't admitted, but sent home with medications.
Again, special thanks to Chester Cabral for the excellent planning. Chester's report will come later, but we wanted to get the Mahalo in, right away. More photos (from Charlene Iboshi) are at the end of "Images of the Week."
Sharon Scheele was awarded her Paul Harris +5 pin, which means she's contributed $5,000 to the Foundation.
RCHB Past President Mary Begier was honored by the Hawaii Island Chamber of Commerce with the Athena Award for those who excel in business and support women in business. Mary joins Past Presidents Sharon Scheele and Carol Van Camp as Athena winners. Sharon was the very first awardee. Senior active member Barry Taniguchi's KTA SuperStores is a sponsor.
She's pictured below with MC Lincoln Ashida and then with some (not all) of RCHB members who attended the luncheon. Her husband, Lyle Phillips and Jill Jacunski are in the photo, as is Newton Chu, who apparently wants to switch Clubs!!
Congratulations, Mary.
The five Rotary Clubs of East Hawaii spent Saturday morning (1/31) at Kuhio Kalanianaole Park, better known to us as Rotary Centennial Park, working on cleaning out more invasive plants and trees and opening up the view plane. Thank you Mary Begier and James Leonard for being the point people for RCHB.
If you haven't seen the park lately, arborists cut down several ironwoods to expose the beauty of the Bay. A round of applause is due Mike Robinson, RC of Hilo, for doggedly moving this project forward.
From RCHB, attending were: James Leonard, Mary Begier, Alan Okinaka, Richard Cunningham, Bettye Williams, Allen Novak, Mike Carroll, Tom Witthans, Lance Forsythe, Roy Takemoto, James Tyrin, and Barbara Hastings.
Mike Robinson came upon the sad discovery early Saturday morning that thieves had wrenched off and stolen the plaques. See photo below.

Jack Higgins, MD in on vacation in Hawaii but took time to share with RCHB the 25 years of the Los Altos Rotary AIDS Project (LARAP.)
Jack, who's day job is chief medical officer for Avantis Medical Systems, has served on the AIDS Project board for 13 years and recently spent time in Liberia for the launch of the partnership of Save the Children and LARAP. Save the Children is the biggest NGO dealing with kids in the world.
He noted that while in the United States, AIDS is a treatableable, controlable disease, but in Africa "it is still a killing disease." Each year 300,000 children are affected.

Krishna Dhir, Ph.D., new dean of the UH-Hilo College of Business and Economics says it "boggles the mind why someone would leave the UH system to go to the Cal State system." He said the UH system is higher quality.
Dr. Dhir is unapologetic in his support for Hawaii's higher education, and for UHH in particular. One might ask, he said, if he's trying to say UH system is better than Harvard. "My response. What has Harvard done for you lately." He tells businesses they need to be aware of the different strengths of colleges, whether it's Harvard, Shidler at Manoa, or UHH. Shidler, he said, offers a broader mission, but at UHH the mission for his college is "regional economic development."
He said he is talking to local industries about their needs; they tell him the human resources are inadequate to what they require. For instance, they say in the visitor industry, 'We need people who speak Japanese." He tells them UHH has many students who fill the bill. Give them summer jobs, he said.
"We need industries to tell us what profile they need." It's a prerequisite that industry be involved with the university, and if students work with industry, the programs become moer relevant.

"We need your help," said Robin Benedict of the Friends of the Children's Justice Center. She announced that she wanted to touch our hearts to help the Center help the children "who see deplorable things." Robin is the only paid staff, with 10 vlounteers. Last year, the Center saw 630 children, from assault victims to children who witnessed violent crimes.
Robin has more than 20 years' experience with the Department of Human Services and finds it rewarding to help child victims of abuse and neglect.
She noted research shows that abuse is a learned behavior; if children who experience this as part of life don't receive help, they may well repeat these learned behaviors as an adult.
"Each day in the US, more than three children die of abuse," she said.
She said locally, 158 children suffered severe abuse. "A lot of these children just want someone to love them," she said.
Among the things the Center regularly needs are new underwear, in any size, and rubber slippers.
The Friends work with the Center to offer supportive programs to assist the children traumatized by assault, abuse and neglect. They sponsor "Winners Camp" where the children learn leadership and life skills as well as self worth.
The Friends have applied to RCHB to be our 2015 Weinberg project.

Mike Carroll, one of the newest members of RCHB, told Club members a little bit about himself and wife, Leslie as part of our vocational service series. Mike called himself a "common soldier." He spent 20 years in the tactical Army including time as a combat arms officer.
Starting out as a private, Mike went to officers candidate school. He retired as a colonel. He's been to the War College in Washington, DC, been to jungle school, arctic warfare school and been to more deserts than he like to count.
Mike holds an MBA, and now operates a farm with Leslie. "My wife shot the last boar" on the property," he said. Leslie is also retired military, where she was a warrant officer. They raise and sell lamb on their Puna area far.
Since joining RCHB, Mike was quickly drafted to help with Oktoberfest and create a manual to streamline operations in coming years. He also accepted our sergeant at arms position.

Rotary Foundation Month
It's Rotary International Foundation Month and Sandra Wagner-Wright urged members to give, even at a nominal amount of $10. Packaged with other Club-member contributions, it goes a long way, and much of it come back to us through district designated grants.
We sometimes think Foundation money is used for international projects overseas, but that's only part of it. Grants help locally and across the U.S. Sandra gave this example of how Foundation contributions work:
In June 2013, the Yarnell Hill, Arizona fire claimed lives of 19 firefighters, destroyed over 100 homes, severely damaged Yarnell Water Improvement Association's water system. Estimated cost of Repair: $1.5 million
With a $89,000 Global Grant, The Rotary Club of Prescott-Sunup (AZ) partnered with RC Weonju (South Korea) & Alliance Service & Control Specialists (Phoenix) repaired damaged system. Grant Contributions from Rotary Clubs in Mexico, Germany, Canada, and the Cayman Islands. For more information click here.

Polica's top 10 albums of 2012
Polica have already landed on plenty of "best of 2012"-type lists for their Give You the Ghost accomplishment of earlier this year. But, in addition to the ability to curate their own work extremely well, they've got an ear for other strong albums that came out this year.
Tipped by Brooklyn Vegan, here's a list of top albums that overlaps heavily with Gimme Noise's favorites of the year, including several fellow chanteuses who gave Channy Leaneagh's pipes a run for their money, and more than one local gem.

Merry Christmas to all of you
This is a discussion on Too early for Merry Christmas? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I know my photography skills aren't the best, and yes this is our apartment-approved fake Christmas tree. Merry Christmas...
I know my photography skills aren't the best, and yes this is our apartment-approved fake Christmas tree.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all of you
Very Nice! and an M&P too!
Nothign wrong with fake Christmas trees. My family has used one, oh, forever. --We suffer from allergies.
Love the colors, and it is real Christmassy, and no...it aint too early. That sure makes a pretty picture, and besides....it's the time and the place as well as an artistic eye that makes things whole. For a concealed carry forum, I'd say your pic should make a debut for next year's calendar...the December pic of the month! May get something started here....(pic of the month), but so be it. I'm all for it! Pic of the month....something new and exciting for the up and coming forum. That's how I see it. Matter of fact, I may start a thread for POTM, and submit yours as the first! Just let me know! I think it would be awesome for members to submit photos of their pistols in season. I vote for a DC photo calendar! Hopefully someone else will kick off the thread. All the admin would have to do is find a decent graphics outfit that would do this, or a good, upstanding member with resources..to create one of the first ever DC calendars! With a good deal, possibly 20% of sales could go to site support. Just another fraction of my mind, but I would pay for a nice firearms calendar through my favorite site in order to support it.
+1 on the Calendar remark Ram Rod
"Without fear there can be no Courage!"
And I have. I'm going to be thinking about my submission for another month now. Photo contest for the 2009 DC calendar? We'll leave that up to the forum....admin willing. ;)
Nice tree...and to think my tree only came with lights.

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
Early last week an otherwise-respected comic book artist took to Facebook to rant about the perceived insult of women attending comic book conventions dressed as comic book characters. Others have since soundly disassembled whatever point he was trying to make, so I wasn't sure if much value could come from one more person on the Internet condemning the tirade for being ill-conceived, juvenile and sexist. But then I just did, so there you have it.
That aside, this is hardly the first time there's been an inordinate amount of hand-wringing over whether certain people are enough of a geek or nerd or fan or whatever to qualify for … I have no idea what — some mythical geek clubhouse, I guess. If it's your job to be a comics encyclopedia, I suppose there's some basis for this. But most of the time, it's just teeth-gnashing over fans not being "fan enough." The people fretting about it are apparently disturbed that someone is falsely enjoying, or not enjoying enough, what they enjoy. Honestly, I don't understand it. Is it that these people are embarrassed to like what they like, and they think they're being mocked for liking something silly? Whatever the reason, it no doubt says more about them than the person who may or may not like or know about something with enough fervor.
It's not that there is absolutely no truth whatsoever to this concern. Invariably there's at least one or two people on the planet who truly are not as into comics as they seem. Maybe they're trying to be friends with a group that's really into comics. It could happen. When you're young, sometimes you think you like something, try it for a while and then realize you don't. Or maybe there really is some truly sinister person who gets off fooling others into thinking they like comics. It's kind of a weirdly convoluted and ultimately empty game to play but sure, OK. People can be weird. It's not that these people don't exist. It's that they're really not that significant. And they have absolutely no effect on me at conventions or anywhere else. I can even breathe the same air as them with no adverse effects whatsoever.
And the simple fact is that comics cover so much ground now, it's impossible to be an avid fan on all of it, whether it's superhero comics, crime comics, horror comics, slice-of-life comics or editorial cartoons. There's literally too much for one person to consume.
So with that out of the way, I hope you studied because here is your entrance exam into the geek clubhouse: If you're reading this, you passed. Yes, that's it, you're in. All you have to do is be interested enough to read. That's how you love comics enough.
I made it into the club!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!
So what kind of membership benefits are there?
No benefits, but the dues are terribly steep.
…but when *I* wear that version of the Captain America costume I'm asked to leave. Such double standards…
The entrance exam is being able to name two comics you love. Anyone can love just one.
This kind of thing goes on with everything, just recently had a spirited debate with some metalheads who were pissed Chris Brown was photographed wearing a metal-style jacket. This is just another irrational exclusionary desire for people who deem themselves "real fans" to unnecessarily protect their hobbies/interests from others.
I happy to have everyone buy one comic and enjoy that every issue. I used to be able to draw almost every character from memory when it just Marvel and DC. The field is too large now for that to happen. I don't even know all the characters now. Am i less of a true fan? I don't think so.
Where's the membership card?

Ascorbic acid or thiamine was administered, i.p., to male mice 1 1/2 hours prior to i.p. administration of acetaldehyde. Ascorbic acid reduced acetaldehyde mortality at doses between 16 mmole/kg to 18 mmole/kg. Thiamine reduced acetaldehyde-induced mortality at lower acetaldehyde doses (16 mmole/kg) but not at higher doses (17 and 18 mmole/kg) that induced 100% mortality. Simultaneous coadministration of acetaldehyde and ascorbic acid caused a reduction in mortality. The effect of ascorbic acid or thiamine pretreatment on disulfiram-ethanol-induced mortality was investigated. A single dose of thiamine (0.24 mmole/kg) given 1 1/2 hours prior to administration of ethanol (11 mmole/kg to 88 mmole/kg) in disulfiram-treated mice reduced disulfiram-ethanol-induced mortality but a single dose of ascorbic acid (2 mmole/kg) pretreatment had no effect. Increasing the ascorbic acid pretreatment dosage schedule to three days resulted in a reduction of disulfiram-ethanol mortality. These results indicate that thiamine HCl was more potent than ascorbic acid in reducing the mortality induced by acetaldehyde or disulfiram-ethanol. The effect of disulfiram on ascorbic acid or thiamine activity toward reduction of acetaldehyde-induced mortality was investigated. The same three-day pretreatment condition for disulfiram and ascorbic acid or thiamine was used in mice as in the above disulfiram-ethanol study. In the third day, acetaldehyde was given to the mice. Either vitamin was ineffective in reducing the mortality induced by disulfiram-acetaldehyde.

Why I Gave Darren Rovell The Business
I'd planned not to revisit this tiff I had Thursday with Darren Rovell. For one, the idea of perpetuating a "controversy" is distasteful to me, especially when what happened here was primarily a difference of opinion. Folks like to see "Twitter fights," but I didn't see it as such. Rovell did something I found problematic, and I said something about it.
OK, I said a lot about it (that link has the full wrap-up of the Twitter fun). And I think I should have. I could care less about the general level of substance in his tweets, and I don't care how many people follow him or me. What I do care about is the way media figures manipulate the existing tensions between athletes, fans and the people who cover them.
When I did radio, it was the first time I was able to really get a handle on how sports fans viewed athletes and the privileges they receive. It wasn't pretty. While I saw clear exploitation of college athletes, so many of them saw guys who were "going to school for free" like those fans wished they'd been able to. They asked why on Earth someone "playing a kid's game" would deserve to make so much money. Which is to say, they exposed themselves as envious and greedy. It was all about what they wished someone would do for them, even though their decidedly average existences could be explained very clear: they, unlike those athletes, were decidedly average.
I don't mean that in a creational standpoint. We're all God's children, if you believe in such things. I mean, when it comes to marketable skills, they just don't have any that necessitate special treatment. Had they been special, maybe they could have gone to school for free. Athletes aren't the only ones who get scholarships, after all. Were they exceptional, it wouldn't be so hard to knock out those student loans. It makes people uncomfortable, because so much of youth involves people affirming to kids how special they are, but the cold, hard truth is that most people in this world can be easily replaced with no one noticing they were gone. More importantly, when someone picks most of us, no one will notice we're there unless we introduce ourselves on the first day. This is life near the median. That is life for most of the world.
But these athletes we watch? They're special, relative to their jobs. Think of all the people who have tried to play a sport and would have done so as long as their talents provided enough of a return to make it worthwhile. At every step, the labor pool gets whittled away. Not because guys get bored. No, it's just because they aren't good enough. While there's somewhere for an average accountant to work, there is no place for an average defensive lineman or small forward. Only the best of the best need apply. And guess what? That corner you see getting burned every week, or that basketball player who can't make a free throw? They're both among the best of the best.
As a result, they make a lot of money. There's a basic supply and demand issue that I'm not going to bother to explain. Just know: in a billion dollar business with so few qualified workers, employees are gonna make a shitload of money. The only reason to have a problem with that is if you have a problem with yourself. And you need to get over it.
The easy argument is that sports aren't important; therefore, athletes shouldn't be highly paid. That's stupid. It comes with an implicit paternalism that should make your stomach hurt. There's big money in sports. It's not because we, the public, overemphasize them (though that may be true). It's because sports and entertainment are among the few products that everyone likes. They make people happy. They bring people together. They know few bounds with respect to race, class and gender. And people will always be more interested in fun than the alternative. Nothing to apologize for there.
This means owners of sports teams can, literally, get a lot of money from everyone. So they do. And once they do, they have to compensate those who make it possible. Those are the athletes. Many would say athletes lucky for it, but that seems like the sort of thing to take up with your deity. It must be "luck" in a divine or supernatural sense. Because, trust me, 99.9999% of those guys making zillions of dollars worked their asses off to get what they get paid. They worked in college for free. They lifted weights in high school when cats like me were playing video games. They put in their time. And then, into their 20s, they got paid big money. It's not like they won the lottery. What a person "deserves" doesn't mean too much to me, but you'll have a helluva time saying any professional athlete did not "earn" his or her riches. If you can, I recommend you click this link.
The owners? Oh, they deserve whatever mind-blowing sum they bank. Why? Uhhh…cuz they're owners? You got anything on that? Cuz I can't think of why their money isn't worthy of comparisons from Rovell.
Or, Rovell could talk about his salary. In fact, I asked him to. Since he said the point was to point out the differences between what regular people make and athletes, just to make a point, make the point about yourself, Darren. I challenged Rovell to compare his salary to the median salary of Buffalo, and he wouldn't do it. I was willing to do the same. So, if we're gonna do this, let's talk about how much more we make than the average person. Yanno, just to show the difference. I know what the difference is. I was making around 39k two and a half years ago. I ain't making 39k anymore. And guess what? I ain't making as much money as Darren Rovell.
Rovell didn't do that, though. Your guess for why is as good as mine.
Many of my colleagues foolishly get caught up in this madness of asking whether or not people "deserve" what they have. They want to make sure players are "appreciative" and humble. God forbid they offend the insecure people who watch — and cover — them, right? By doing this, they either knowingly or negligently foster fans' irrationality.
And this is why cats like Rovell piss me off so much. It is irresponsible to advance a narrative that requires athletes to demonstrate why they're worth what they're paid while never questioning how the people who sign the friggin' checks are able to do so, even though there are way more people capable of running an NFL franchise than there are people who could play for one. People in our position, especially someone who claims that "sports business" is his specialty, are doing everyone a disservice by singling out players as such. Seriously, someone would juxtapose what Mario Williams makes in a day and a half while never asking what James Dolan makes in the same time period by virtue of running the business his rich father built? Huh?
Rovell knows how markets work, so he knows why Mario Williams makes so much money and teachers and firefighters don't. That is, unless he doesn't know that, which begs the question: what kind of "expert" are you, Darren?
So that's why I had to bomb on the dude. It would be much easier for us all to enjoy sports if we didn't look for reasons to resent those we claim to revere. It would be easier to enjoy them if we didn't have to wade through the media's encouragement of these small, petty emotions. And it's highly problematic to give people information that exacerbates those feelings just because "people want to know that stuff."
Stuff like what Rovell did is why athletes don't want to talk to us, and why many thing we're out to make them look bad. What Rovell tweeted about Mario was for that exact purpose. No, there's nothing about being paid that "looks bad," but it sure does look bad to the resentful to see someone they find undeserving make more than them. Rovell knows that. If he doesn't, he might want to make some friends. Like, maybe one or two. Cuz he must have none if he doesn't get this.
Before I go, I'll give you one last thing to consider. After I told Rovell he was fostering resentment among fans, he sent out a poll asking fans if they were resentful of athletes' salaries. While he was at it, he should have asked if they were racist and used those results to determine whether we have a problem with race in America. Never mind the absurdly small sample he used — n=126, last time I checked. Let's consider the obvious weaknesses of doing a survey using self-reported data. Anyone worth his salt in statistical analysis knows that would be useless, and such a person would know those numbers shouldn't be shared with any authority. To distribute something like that as a way to prove a point is intellectually dishonest. It's stupid. And I guarantee Rovell knows this. Unless he, himself, is stupid.
Which is it?
So there it is. These analyses from Rovell are rarely about owners. I'd say "never," for I've never seen such a comparison, but I could be wrong. If it's just about illustrating disparities between the common man and the rich, talk about the people who are really rich. If it's about who does or doesn't deserve something, Rovell needs to take Econ 101.
In other words, either Rovell is OK with the incongruent ways people resent wealth in this country. Or, he has no idea what he's talking about in his area of specialty and authority.
I'll let him pick which one it is. Either way, it's a problem. It makes him look like a fraud.
And it makes players look bad for simply being really, really good at their jobs, which is the sort of behavior I refuse to let slide.
