My situation: I unlocked my phone using anysim 1.02 then upgraded to 1.1.1 firmware and got the error 00499... and Incorrect sim. And for some odd reason I had trouble activating it when I downgrade to 1.0.2 firmware so what i did was kept the the 1.1.1 and deleted the baseband and restore the baseband to 3.0 version...and virginize the phone, then unlocked and activate it.
here is the step (assuming you activated 1.1.1 and jailbreak it)
1) (I don't know who the original poster....but thanks for this info)
What did I use to fix it
All needed things here (w/o FW 1.0.2 -> get with iTunes): hXXp://rap1d5hare.com/files/65099379/Lettys-Fix-Selection.rar.html
- APPTappInstaller.exe

- BSD Subsystem (with iBrickr)
- UIctl (with iBrickr)
- Mobile Terminal VT100 (with iBrickr)
- ieraser
- bbupdater
- secpack
- ICE03.14.08_G.eep
- ICE03.14.08.fls
a.1) Install the following Apps: BSD Subsystem, UIctl (use winscp to upload to application folder), Mobile Terminal VT100
a.2) Be sure the Apps are installes. After that you should see the Terminal- and UIctl-Icon
a.3) Use winscp to move the files into your phone: following files in "/usr/bin/"
ieraser, bbupdater, secpack, eep-file and fls-file. After this is done restart your iphone.
b.) Tap the Terminal-App on the iPhone and input the following commands
cd /usr
cd /bin
chmod +x bbupdater
chmod +x ieraser
chmod +x secpack
chmod +x *.fls
chmod +x *.eep
b.1) Press home-Button and start Uctl (Do only the steps here descriped!!!!)
b.2) Tap on com.apple.CommCenter -> tap "unload -w"
b.3) Tap on com.apple.mobile.lockdown -> tap on "stop"
b.4) Press Home-button and start Terminal again
b.5) Type following commands
cd /usr
cd /bin
ieraser -> iphone does something, read the results
cd /usr
cd /bin
bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep -> firmware is flashed
2. use the reviriginizer step...I can't post the link but do a google search "revirginizing tool iphone". It's the other team
they have "Click here for an automated script that will give...." click on that and download and follow instruction. After this is done restart your phone and you should see the correct imei
3) Connect to itunes and restore you iphone to 1.1.1 and jailbreak and activate your iphone using CARNAVAL_by_brasuco (do a search) and I used anysim 1.1 to unlock it.
good luck...it worked for me...hope this help.

Five things to watch this week in college football.
1: UCLA fans need to erase that easy "W" they had penciled in for the Sept. 29 game at Colorado. What looked like a picnic at Pikes Peak should be filled with some trepidation now that UCLA is the team coming in after a loss and Colorado is the team coming in after a win.
2: The Big Ten, which has been sliding from national relevancy since No.1 Ohio State and No.2 Michigan met in 2006, could use a pick-me-up showdown after last weekend's poor group effort. The best we can offer is Ohio State at Michigan State.
3: You do not want to be the Towson Tigers heading into Baton Rouge a week after Louisiana State's Tigers struggled to extract a two-point road win against Auburn's Tigers. The real story here, though, is why there are so many teams nicknamed "Tigers."
4: Texas had the weekend off to enjoy rival Oklahoma's shocking loss in Norman to Kansas State, but Mack Brown's Longhorns can't get caught overlooking this week's trip to Oklahoma State. Mike Gundy's Cowboys had a bye week, too.
5: The SEC team to start paying attention to is Georgia, which is 4-0 after Saturday's dismantling of Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs are averaging 47.5 points per game and host Tennessee next weekend in an important East Division matchup.

Sam , There are only perhaps a few dozen fruitcakes in the world - they just get regifted and sent around each and every Christmas the world over!
Probably made by my great Aunt Bess. I think she enjoys making it because it soaks in rum for three days and she has to "taste" it to make sure it's marinating properly

1. Drink Water
A lot of the times when you feel like you need to eat something sweet, your body is just in need for some water. So next time your hand is moving toward the direction of eating some junk foods, try changing direction toward drinking a glass of water. Most of the time you will be surprised to know that you no longer feel like eating the junk foods. Another way you can get truly exceptional results is just by taking the time to Send flowers to the people that mean the most to you!
2. Free Your Environment From All Temptations
Believe me if you are sitting down at home watching some TV, and you know that your kitchen cupboards are full of sweets and other deserts, then you will eventually end up gorging on all that junk food, regardless of how strong your will power is.
The simplest way to overcome your urge of wanting to eat some junk food is to just avoid being in an environment where you can easily get your hands on it. Don't use other people as an excuse because they will be much better off without the junk as well!
While it may be harder to control what sort of food enters your workplace, the reality is quite different at home. You have complete control over your home environment, so you really don't have an excuse to bring in any sort of temptation.
One great tip for the workplace is to encourage your boss to only allow water and low calorie snacks into the workplace instead of the calorie rich stuff like donuts etc.
If you work at a company that happens to serve up lunch, you should ask them to serve up healthier meals. And when you feel tempted to snack on a piece of junk at the vending machine, you should aim to go for a packet of nuts rather than a bar of snickers.
3. Snack on Fruit or Nuts
You should never go without food for so long that it causes your blood sugar levels to get extremely low. This is just setting yourself up to gorge on sugary processed junk foods. Being hungry is going to make it that much more tempting to eat something that is sugary and calorie rich.
So to prevent this kind of situation, you should always have some fruit, or nuts on hand so that whenever you do feel peckish you can snack on a piece of these healthy treats.
The great thing about snack foods like fruit and nuts is that they are plentiful in things like fiber and vitamins which will help you feel full for a longer period of time. The bonus is that the nuts also contain plenty of healthy proteins and fat.
4. Try Brushing Your Teeth
The truth is that many of the times when we feel really hungry it is because we are bored. A good way to prevent yourself on junking out is to keep your mouth and hands busy… perhaps by engaging in an act such as brushing your teeth.
While this is not going to completely cure you of wanting junk foods, it will help to pass some time and prevent you from thinking about going through your fridge and kitchen cupboards trying to find a bar of snickers to munch on.
5. Keep Telling Yourself That The Junk Will Not Go Anywhere
The beauty of living in the modern world is the fact that food is available in abundant supplies, so there is never a need to store it.
So this means that you need to stop buying things with the just in case mentality. The truth is that every time you pass the junk food section in the supermarket you need to keep telling yourself that there is no need to get it just now because, it will still be there the next time you come in.
Yes, on that occasional basis you should pick up a couple of cookies to satisfy those cravings, but the majority of the time you need to tell yourself that you can always get it next time. This is a really effective tip for overcoming many of the temptations you see on a daily basis.

LibU is a multiplatform C library that comes under a BSD-style license. It includes many interdependent modules for accomplishing several tasks: memory allocation, networking and URI parsing, string manipulation, debugging, and logging in a very compact way, plus many other miscellaneous tasks. It has a small footprint (about 70KB for the default configuration), it is modular, and it has a multiplatform nature, making it an ideal candidate for embedded systems. KLone is an example of such usage.
MaKL is a simple and light framework for building multi-platform C/C++ projects, purely based on the Bourne Shell and GNU Make. It is much easier to install and use than other typical building systems, while maintaining the essential functionality. It is ideal for embedded systems due to its cross-compilation, multiplatform toolchaining mechanisms, and minimal external dependencies.

He´s gotta do somethin´. He sure ain´t gonna sit down and do a day´s work.
So the divide America campaign that has been going on for the past five years continues. For Barack Obama it sure beats working.
The wizard behind the curtain speaks. She´s running the country on a day to day basis and the press just keeps quiet. This woman is scary.
Of course he is....and I´ll bet he and Moochelle and the kiddies and the rest of the family will travel the world for the next four years as much as possible. We pay and pay and pay.
Feckless, lazy, muddle-headed, obnoxious, disgrace. And that goes for Valerie and Barry.
AND How much is this going to cost us?
This woman and her buddy Obama are like broken records. She said the same thing after the 2010 mid terms.
I wonder what we would find if we layered his itinerary for the next 4 years over Golf Digest´s list of America´s 100 Greatest Golf Courses.
Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Sonoma Wine Country and other places
I guess the 4,000-course-tee-time-booking-app was loaded onto Stinky´s Blackberry by the White House Blackberry nerd....OP: "How in the world do we survive the next four years"?By remembering how important Liberty is; how important our heritage is; how important our children are; that in the end, there´s nowhere else to go; that "life" is a testing-place, not a resting-place; that "this, too, shall pass"; that if necessary, we look right in the eye of those who throw up their hands and say "Get out of the way -- I have work to do."Most of all, by making the choice ours, not his!
The better to do his "community organizing", my dears."you have to engage the American people in the process."
They will get tired of bussing in crowds, and that will be that.
Clearly we are seeing what happens when an Iranian-born plant (Jarrett) is running the White House and US national policy.
He´s only interested in the perks of the job. He´ll let his surrogates fight it out with the Republicans.
Seems he prefers the Pres plane to the WH. In the former he can smoke whenever and whatever he likes....at our expense of course and against his pollution agenda.
I was just thinking .... Wasn´t it time for another Obama vacation?
Your threats don´t scare me, ValJar!
December 2010 ---President Barack Obama will be hitting the road more in the coming year, according to one of his top advisers.In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC´s "Meet The Press," Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said the president was concerned that he´s spending too much time in Washington and plans to spend more time mixing and mingling with the public.Oh and he´ll be playing more golf, eating more lobster and going on more vacations. Anything to spend our money.
Well, what do you expect from a community organizer, with no management, leadership skills, no knowledge of history or economics?Community organizers gotta rabble rouse, docha know?Besides, this shiftless lazy ax will do anything to dodge a day´s real work.
So the little bolshevik speaks to tell us mere mortals that the O´train of manipulate and divide is gonna to roll on. Thanks for the heads up ValJar but we thinking people already knew that. Gird your loins folks it´s going to be a bumpy ride.
Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!!
The more places he goes to, those places get shut down, highways and all. This is what he wants to do the country.
Why is she telling US anything ?
He travels nearly every day now. So he is now going to take several trips a day?
No Val dear. I guarentee I won´t be seeing the pResident traveling around. And I´d add that most on this board will have more important things to see, too.

Atlanta >Food & Dining > Fogo De Chao Churrascaria
3101 Piedmont Rd, Atlanta, GA | Directions 3030333.840483 -84.369596
Mon. - Sat. 11:30am - 10pm;Sun. 4:30pm - 9:30pm
Neighborhoods: Northside, Northside, Buckhead Village
You may need to eat a small breakfast and skip lunch to have room for the amazingness that is Fogo. Green light.
I ate at this restaurant a few years ago. The food was delicious, if not a bit pricey, but the whole experience was really cool. The waiters walk around with different cuts of meat skewered on metal and wait until you signal for the next go round. So neat! If I remember correctly, I fell in love with the lamb they had. The meat is sooo tender. Oh yummy.
Great place for lunch!!! The lamb was perfect!
We wanted to try something different for a special occasion, and we weren't let down. Yes, this is on the expensive side, but it was well worth it. Come with a big appetite.
Good but expensvie – This place is really good, but it's pretty expensive and you only get your money's worth if you are a really big eater.
Good Food – The food was very good but I found this place to be a bit on the expensive side
ramu – To quote my girlfriend when we sat down: "Ew. Let's leave."
I admit at first, I was worried too. It smelled like Chinese food in this place - yes, Chinese food. The waitresses were eating their lunch at the front of the restaurant when we walked in. Without standing up, one of them smiled and pointed to a table at the back.
The restaurant was empty, despite a handmade sign that said: "Line moves quickly!" Perhaps we mistimed our meal, showing up for breakfast at noon. Either way, the menu offers mostly breakfast foods including omelets, bacon, pancakes, and my favorite: eggs benedict.
I ordered the California eggs benedict and my girlfriend got the Crab eggs benedict. Within ten minutes our waitress delivered our meal. We were happily surprised. The plate was nicely made up. My eggs benedict had large, fresh slices of avocado and fresh grilled turkey. My girlfriend's eggs benedict had heaps of real crab meat, topped with capers.
The hollandaise sauce was buttery and rich and the eggs perfectly cooked. We noticed that my plate was garnished with a lemon wedge while my girlfriend's came with an orange slice. It was a small detail, but showed that they actually care about how they present their dishes here.
We repeatedly noted how tasty the food was, and how wrong we were to prejudge the experience.
Having said this, the place would probably have netted a higher score had the ambiance been nicer. Still, who am I - a tourist - to waltz into a place that is clearly liked by the locals and ask that place to change? If you are a tourist like me, you should be happy that a place like this exists at all. Two blocks from the Prescott Hotel on Post St. sits a great little place for breakfast.
Delicious but Bustling – The food was delicious, but the bustle around the table made it impossible to relax. I felt that I constantly had to be responding to the waiters who were almost too attentive and would come over whenever my plate was empty, regardless of whether I had the red or the green side of my disc showing.
I did enjoy every piece of meat I tried and though the side plates were limited, they were very tasty. I especially liked the mashed potatoes. The highlight of the meal for my boyfriend was the bowl of bacon on the salad bar.
I'm not sure I would go back because though the food was good, there are other delicious places for much less expense which are much more relaxing.
Very Disappointed – Based on the reviews, I felt we would have a wonderful family celebration dinner - but I was sadly disappointed in the flavor and tenderness of the meats. The ribs had the consistency of dry sawdust, the sirloin was so tough we could not chew it. we asked the servers for more tender slices, but we got the same awful selections. Maybe we had a cook in training that Saturday night. It certainly was not worth the $575 + $81 automatically billed gratuity. I wish I had asked for a refund, but did not want to make a scene and ruin the end of a wonderful day for my family.
Great Place to take a male friend – This restaurant has a fantastic salad bar and the meat is always exceptional. I enjoy eating here with friends who have a large appetite, that way they can really get their moneys worth! Love the atmosphere and the staff, who are always on top of their game
AWESOME BRAZILLIAN FOOD – This was great .. a little expensive for family.. but if you want a great date night take a $100 with you and enjoy the best Brazilian food in Atlanta worth every cent, this is not a bring your kids kind of restaurant, so leave the whiny babies at home.. the rest of us on our nights off do not want screaming and yelling and acting out when we are paying this kind of money.

Was recommended to Tim by a friend and liked the idea of supporting a small local business. Read the review of the guy below - it's a garage - what does he expect. Was happy with service and will go back. One hint - make an appt - they are busy and you can avoid a long wait that way.
Love Tim & Helen. We have been taking our cars to Tim for years and we are ALWAYS satisfied. Thanks Guys!!!
I have been going to Pit Stop for 10 years now. I have tried other shops and had them try to convince me I need all kinds of repairs I knew I did not as my car is not that old. I have found Tim to be honest and trust worthy. He has always worked with me to keep my car running well and on the road!
This is one of the most disturbing automotive repair shops I have ever seen. I received a flyer from them that was attached to my mail box one morning a few months ago and finally decided to check them out after becoming tired of the dealership's high prices. Upon arrival I parked my car and walked into the lobby, which was fairly dirty and smelled horribly of cigarettes. The lady at the front desk seemed too immersed in her game of solitaire to immediately greet me. She didn't come across as the nicest person but I suppose everyone has their days. There was no other cars in line for the quick lube bay and still took almost 20 miniutes for my car to even be pulled in. I walked around the front of the shop and the first thing I noticed were EMPTY BEER CANS laying around and the trash can I saw were full of them. The shop was horribly dirty and there were cigarette butts laying everywhere! I was going to take a peek in the shop but I didn't feel it would even be safe for me to go in there! There was oil puddles and all kinds of other hazardous stuff just laying about. Probably the dirtiest work space I've ever seen. I was watching the tech (who wouldn't even acknowledge me standing 5 feet away from him) and he didn't even perform most of what I was told the "full service" includes. To make it even worse, after I had finally got out of that garbage can of a shop, there was greasy footprints all over my driver floor carpet that still wont completely come out. I will NEVER recommend this shop to ANYONE I come in contact with. Now I see why the dealership is pricier than some of these shops. They actually know what a business and being professional is. These guys probably couldn't even spell professionalism.

Mcbeth8/27/2012Age PreventionOilyI bought this product at a Spa. This product is fantastics, you see a big difference the first time you use it. I have used other peeling products, this one is the best. My skin feels very smooth and soft and because I have oily skin it removes the excess oil in a non-drying way. Thank you for creating a great product. I will soon be purchasing your other products.

Derrick2/25/2012Age PreventionNormalImmediately after applying this exfoliant you can feel the gentle yet effective activity of the enzymes and fruit acids working to improve your skin! Many exfoliators irritate my skin and cause breakout. I've been using the Fruit Enzyme since it's launch with no irritation or breakout! My Esthetician spends a fraction of the time she used to on extractions! A definite plus!

Join the Accelerated Bridge Construction Project Exchange
Learn from other States' accelerated bridge construction (ABC) projects and explore the details of everything from specifications to contract plans by joining the free National Accelerated Bridge Construction Project Exchange.
Launched after a 2-year collaborative effort among the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and State transportation agencies, "the Exchange includes detailed information on 100 projects that use prefabricated bridge elements and systems technologies along with other innovative strategies to meet the objectives of ABC," said Benjamin Beerman of the FHWA Resource Center.
For each bridge project, Exchange members can find a two- to three-page Project Summary Report that offers an overview of such information as the project name, owner, geographical coordinates, type of funding, planning, and procurement and contracting methods. Also included is a synopsis of the success stories and lessons learned from the project stakeholders. Subdirectories containing detailed information such as photos, contract plans, specifications, bid tabulations, construction schedule, and other information are also provided for each project. All posted materials can be downloaded and are approved for use.
The Exchange also offers a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet that allows members to search the more than 1,800 project documents using key words. For example, users can search for a particular bridge element technology such as a precast deck panel, modular decked beam element, or prefabricated pier. Exchange members can also search for projects that use prefabricated systems technologies, including self-propelled modular transporters, longitudinal launching, or lateral sliding construction methods. Once a particular project or group of projects is identified, hyperlinks in the spreadsheet will take the user directly to the project directory that houses the detailed information.
A July 25, 2013, Webinar hosted by the Accelerated Bridge Construction Center at Florida International University demonstrated how to search the Exchange and obtain project information. To view presentations from the Webinar, visit www.abc.fiu.edu, select "Archive of Past Events," and click on "Webinar held on 7/25/2013." The archive also contains the ABC Project Exchange User's Guide, which provides detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to join the Exchange and search for project information.
For additional information on the ABC Project Exchange, contact Benjamin Beerman at the FHWA Resource Center, 404-562-3930 (email: email@example.com). To learn more about ABC technologies, visit www.fhwa.dot.gov/everydaycounts/edctwo/2012/abc.cfm.

Research indicates that attending class every day and coming to school on time will carry over to the workplace. According to the Parent Institute, "Seventy eight percent of those who end up in prison had a first arrest for school truancy. Missing too many classes is often the first step toward dropping out of school." It is evident that students who drop out of high school have a very high rate of unemployment.
Regular attendance in school correlates to students' high academic achievement, and improved standardized test scores. It is often mentioned that eighty percent of success is just showing up. Alabama's school year consists of 180 student attendance days or 1040 hours.
Optimism fills the hallways of schools in Alabama. Our students are like apples and oranges. They are all sweet in different ways. There is not a lemon in the entire crop. Moreover, children who have a positive attitude tend to love learning, and they do better in school. Educators anticipate a great school year ahead.

Warnings to any speeders (From This Is Wiltshire)

Warnings to any speeders
12:00pm Friday 20th December 2013 in Latest News
Motorists driving in Oxford Road in Calne were stopped by police on December 10 as part of a crackdown on speeding.
During the operation, which lasted for around an hour, police issued five verbal warnings to drivers who were travelling over the speed limit, but were below the level for prosecution.
A fixed penalty ticket was issued to a local man in his fifties who was driving a Toyota Celica at a speed of 42mph in a 30mph zone, and two drivers were warned about lighting defects on their cars.
Calne PCSO Mark Cook said: "These operations are being conducted as the Calne neighbourhood police team has adopted this issue as a local policing priority. This is due to residents expressing their concerns."

Hi there,
Is there any way that I won't lose the highscore mark? Because everytime after I restart the game, the high score will reset back to 0. In iCave (quite the same version of iCopter but not similar), the highscore is always there.
If anyone could help that would be great coz I love the game so much.

Gene Smith Lauded with NAAC Organizational Leadership Award
Smith will be recognized June 12 during National Association for Athletics Compliance Convention
Gene Smith is in his tenth year as director of athletics at The Ohio State University. He was promoted to vice-president in January of 2014.
He is widely recognized among the leaders of his profession and has been named "one of the most powerful people in collegiate sport." Smith was named the Buckeyes' director of athletics March 5, 2005.
Smith is the eighth person to hold the athletics director position at Ohio State and the first African-American to do so. He previously served as director of athletics at Arizona State, Iowa State and Eastern Michigan universities and is entering his 29th year in the role.
At Ohio State, the 57-year old Smith oversees the nation's most comprehensive and one of its most successful collegiate athletics programs. The department sponsors 36 fully-funded varsity sports with more than 1,000 student-athletes regularly competing for Big Ten Conference and NCAA championships.
Smith has additional oversight responsibility for a recently created Business Advancement Division of Ohio State which includes: Schottenstein Center, Nationwide Arena, Blackwell Hotel, Drake Union, Fawcett Center, and Trademark & Licensing. Smith's business acumen has fostered collaboration and optimized revenue opportunities within each entity to ensure profitability.
The athletics department is completely self-supporting; it receives no university funds, tax dollars or student fees. In fiscal year 2012-13, the department transferred nearly $30 million in assessments to the university, including more than $16 million in grant-in-aid reimbursement. Smith is known for outstanding fiscal controls.
As a highly-recruited student-athlete and member of national championship teams as a college athlete and coach, Smith is passionate about the well-being of student-athletes and the championship experience.
"We want to create an environment for our student-athletes to be successful academically, athletically and socially," he said. "Intercollegiate athletics offers an unparalleled opportunity for young women and men to prepare for success in life."
Under Smith's leadership, the Ohio State athletics department has thrived, winning myriad conference and national, individual and team, athletic championships and awards. In 2012-13, Ohio State's football team finished the season a perfect 12-0 while men's basketball once again made it to the NCAA Elite Eight. The women's rowing team captured an NCAA national championship. Men's tennis fell just shy of a national title, losing a heartbreaker to UCLA in the NCAA semifinals, while tennis star Blaz Rola captured the individual NCAA national title, as did Logan Stieber (wrestling), Marco Canevari (fencing) and Michael Newburger (gymnastics).
Concurrent to athletic excellence has been the remarkable academic achievement by student-athletes during Smith's tenure. When Smith arrived, the overall student-athlete graduation rate was 65 percent. It is now 75 percent, with 50 percent of student-athletes maintaining a 3.0 grade point average or better. Ohio State football student-athletes graduated at a 49 percent rate the year Smith began his career in Columbus (2005-06). Last year (2012-13), the football student-athlete graduation rate improved to 58 percent. Smith's focus on academics - higher individual and team goals, additional academic support services, and recognition of excellence - has shifted the department's culture to reflect his philosophical focus on the total student-athlete.
In terms of the NCAA Graduation Success Rate improvement, all Ohio State student-athletes had a GSR of 80 percent in 2005-06. That has increased to 89 percent in the most recent NCAA report (Oct. 24, 2013). Over that same time frame, the GSR for football improved from 55 to 75 percent.
Smith has earned a reputation as an outstanding fund raiser, and along with his development team, he has raised millions of dollars for new and improved practice and competitive facilities. Smith has overseen major renovations to facilities for golf, softball, outdoor tennis, and indoor track; upgrading of women's and men's basketball locker rooms; and field replacement and track resurfacing at Jesse Owens Stadium.
At Ohio Stadium, Smith replaced natural grass with field turf, and installed new scoreboards, reader boards and an upgraded sound system. Men's basketball boasts a new practice facility, and both men's and women's basketball will train in new, state-of-the-art strength and conditioning areas and utilize an upgraded athletic training facility. The Harmon Family Park football practice facility, Field Hockey Stadium, Swisher Field at Bill Davis Stadium, the Boathouse for women's rowing, and soon-to-be-completed Jane and Walt Dennis Golf Performance Center are all outstanding additions to Ohio State's first class athletic venues.
Looking to the future, Smith developed the vision for the Athletic District, as a part of the University Framework Plan. The District includes: a 4,000 seat arena for men's and women's volleyball, wrestling, men's and women's gymnastics, camps and intimate concerts; Sports Performance center for student-athletes which includes lockers, weight room, and coaches offices; wrestling practice facility; 5,000 seat hockey venue; indoor track facility, and multiple practice fields. Smith's ambitious vision for the Athletic District will ensure first class facilities for Ohio State student-athletes for years to come.
Smith's national honors place him among the leaders of his profession. In May, 2013 Smith received the National Association for Athletics Compliance (NAAC) Award for organizational leadership and strong commitment to fostering a culture of compliance to NCAA rules.
At the 2011 NACDA convention, Smith was recognized as the 2010 Carl Maddox Sports Management Award Recipient. The honor is given annually to an individual for his/her contributions to the growth and development of sport enterprise through effective management practices.
In May 2010 Smith was honored as the Sport Business Journal Athletic Director of the Year. The award was based on excellence and outstanding achievement in the business of sports for the period between Jan. 1, 2009 and Feb. 29, 2010.
In the spring of 2008, the Ohio State athletics department was honored with the Diversity in Athletics Award in the category of overall excellence in diversity. Smith accepted the honor at the 43rd annual National Association of College Directors of Athletics convention in Dallas.
The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame announced in June 2008 the recipients of the NFF's major awards. Smith was honored officially Dec. 9, 2008 in New York with the John L. Toner Award. Presented annually, the Toner Award is given to a director of athletics who has demonstrated superior administrative abilities and shown outstanding dedication to college athletics and particularly college football.
In recognition for his service, Smith was named by Black Enterprise Magazine as one of the "50 Most Powerful African Americans in College Sports." In 2007 he was named to NACDA's inaugural "Legends Class," and also was named Athletic Administrator of the Year by the Black Coaches Association (BCA). In 2002-03, Smith received NACDA's AD of the Year honor for the Division 1-A West Region.
Smith has an exemplary record of national leadership and service and is a sought after speaker on national athletic issues. From May 2011 and running through July 1, 2014, Smith will serve as a member of the NCAA Division I Administration Cabinet, which oversees and recommends membership to NCAA committees. He completed his fifth year on the prestigious NCAA Men's Basketball Committee in 2011, for which he served as chair for the 2010-11 academic year.
In 2007, he served as president of the Division 1-A Athletic Directors Association. He also served on the Basketball Academic Enhancement Group, a 27-member panel charged with developing strategies to enhance academic performance and graduation rates in Division I men's basketball.
Smith is past president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and was that organization's first African-American president. He also has served on the NCAA Management Council, the NCAA Committee on Infractions, the NCAA Executive Committee, the NCAA Football Rules Committee, the President's Commission Liaison Committee, the NCAA Baseball Academic Enhancement Task Force and the National Football Foundation Honors Court, among others.
Smith grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended the University of Notre Dame on a football scholarship. He played four years of football as a defensive end for the Irish and was a member of the 1973 Associated Press national championship team.
Smith received his bachelor's degree in business administration from Notre Dame in 1977. Following graduation, he joined the Notre Dame coaching staff under Dan Devine and remained in that capacity until 1981. The 1977 Notre Dame team captured the undisputed national championship.
Smith left Notre Dame following the 1981 season to accept a marketing position with IBM. He returned to college athletics in April 1983 as assistant athletics director at Eastern Michigan University. In 1985, he was appointed interim director of athletics at Eastern Michigan, a position he held until 1986 when he became director on a full-time basis. In 1993, Smith was named director of athletics at Iowa State University. He moved to Arizona State as director of athletics in 2000.
Smith is active in the Columbus community. He is a member of the Columbus Sports Commission, the boards of the YMCA of Central Ohio and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Columbus, and the governing board of trustees of the Lincoln Theater Association. He serves on the Kids Unlimited National Advisory Board, an organization committed to positively transforming the lives of inner-city children growing up in Toledo, Ohio. In addition, Smith and his wife, Sheila, support numerous community charities.
On campus, Smith is active with the Bell Center for African-American males, where he sponsors a mentoring program called Team Smith. Recently, Smith joined the Board of Directors of Insight Bank, located in Worthington, Ohio.
Gene and Sheila, have four children: Matt, Nicole, Lindsey and Summer, and five grandchildren: Marshall, Steele, Addison, Grayson and Tyson.

Toward that end, I got to work in the kitchen. I browned mushrooms, which always put me in mind of the meaty meal, even absent actual meat. Fortified with garlic, emboldened by cognac, they're big and brawny and beefy. I figured my work was done.
Because after I'd added bulgar or rice or lentils or garbanzo beans, I had a bulgar or rice or lentil or garbanzo-bean burger. And though I admire grains and legumes for their high-protein, low-maintenance style, I do not admire their work in the burger field. By the time they've been cooked and mixed and compressed and grilled, they acquire that tired, mealy, overworked outlook best summed up as "filler."
After a few rounds of frustration it occurred to me that I could keep the filling and dispense with the filler. I heaped browned mushrooms and crisp onions onto a bun heavy with melted cheddar. I folded, chomped, and knew veggie-burger happiness. Minus the burger.

Miami >Food & Dining > Tropical Chinese Restaurant
7991 SW 40th St, Miami, FL | Directions 3315525.733455 -80.325750
Neighborhoods: Westchester
Yum Dim Sum – Is dim sum Chinese for tapas? I feel like it should be. Carts, small plates, yummy things, and I don't even need to be able to read Chinese, I just point and nod. Would I like to eat delicious things? Why of course I would.
Clams with basil – fresh and meaty clams in shao-xin sake broth with basil, garlic and ginger root
Worst experience ever! – Take out chinese at extremely high prices! This is the first time I have ever felt robbed at a restaurant. Would have spent less at PF Changs, gotten better food, better service, rice and drink refills. The Dim Sum appetizer was good, everything else was horrible. If you must go, stick with the Dim Sum, and get it to go.
By Far The Best Chinese In South Florida! – Sure it's not NY or San Francisco but for me the food at Tropical is the best in South Florida! I worked and ate in Chinatown in NYC for many years and I know many different kinds of Chinese food from Szechuan to Hong Kong and the food at Tropical is authentic and on the mark. Only place you can get a great selection Dim Sum every day. Don't miss Tropical's Sauteed String Beans, Chicken with Black Bean Sauce and Beef with Chinese Broccoli. The seafood is always fresh and I am getting hungry just writng this! Yum!
writer of previous post must be a part owner of the restaurants that were recommended – have eaten at tropical many times. The dim sum is very authentic and fresh. I lived in Asia for ten years and my wife is Chinese. Tropical is by far the best in South Florida. But, for my wife's birthday I decided to try another spot (actually ended up at two) based on the previous recommendations and the fact that we live in Boca.
First went to Grand Lake, The selection was average at best. Most items were not up to par. The lotus leaf w/sticky rice was flavorless. The fried turnip cakes were mushy. The stuffed tofu skins were small and the sauce was bland. worst of all were the egg tarts. They were actually made from pre-baked frozen tart shells that you get at a cheap buffet. never in my life has any other Chinese restaurant served these wonderful delights without making then fresh in the restaurant.
And most disappointing of all, I asked if they had my favorite dim sum item (baked bbq pork buns). They server replpied that they had them but it would take a while. (no problem) Ten minutes after we had finished our other items, out came the "char sau shu". I couldn't believe my eyes. They have used the same nasty frozen pre-baked tart shells to make this normally amazing item.
We left the restaurant and decided to try another suggestion from the previous review. The singing bamboo restaurant was better, more authentic but no where near the choice nor was the quality on par with tropical.
An honest review from people that really know chinese food. It's worth the drive to tropical any time.
For Dim Sum.....Forgetaboutit, Tropical is at the best marginal – For those who have experienced Dim Sum in (real) Chinatowns, ae. San Francisco, Vancouver, New York, Boston,and Montreal, your expectations are obviously lowered due to the fact that the number of ethnic Chinese in the area can`t support a thriving Chinese Food District with streets of world class Chinese Restaurants. That said, and after reading the gushing positive reviews on multiple sites, off we were to Tropical. We had no wait to be seated...just lucky I guess cause a few minutes later quite few people que`d up for a brief wait for a table. Immediate push cart service began (a positive Dim Sum feature) and servers continued weaving their way through the restaurant stopping at every table displaying multiple Dim Sum entrees for purchase. I must say, the selection and friendly servers explained what the appetizers consisted of if it was a item you weren`t sure off. The taste of most of the offerings were at least average and a few were excellent. My issue was that over half of the Dim Sum selections were served at room temperature an not warm/hot whatsoever. This being noon time on Sunday, and with (heated) steam push carts, that should not be the case whatsoever. Mid-week or late afternoon, maybe, but not on a Sunday at 12:00 PM.
For those of you that are Dim Sum fanatics, I`m sorry but you`ll have to drive 60 miles north up I95 and head for Palm Beach County. There you will find 3 excellent Chinese Restaurant that really do Dim Sum right! I will list them in no particular order as I found all of them on par with similar offering in Chinatown restaurants.

overrated dim sum – Having lived in both sanfrancisco and nyc, I have known what great dim sum taste like. My family and I have eaten at Tropical Chinese many times and the first time we went, we were very impressed with the dim sum-- by far ,the best we have had in miami. Over the years however, the quality of the dim sum has declined and we are hesitant to go back there again.
Great dim sum and hard-to-find Chinese delicacies make this one of the most popular restaurants in town. – In Short
Fans flock to this Southwest Dade restaurant for the dim sum, especially on weekends. They come for the incredible Cantonese/Mandarin jewels like siu mai, stuffed eggplant, shrimp dumpling and peppery prawns. The dim sum is cheap, but dinner can be steep. Exotic entrees like sliced abalone with sea cucumbers near $50. Others run the gamut from $9 for delicious Singapore noodles to $23 for endangered shark's fin soup.
worst chinese food ever! – i heard a lot about this resturant, i have no idea why people get excited for this chinese food in a parking lot
in the middle of no where.
i've been in many chinese resturants in my life, the most expensive ones and the cheapest ones.
first of all this one is not cheap for the portions they serve, second,the food is not even close to be called chinese.
what kind of chinese resturant doesnt serve brown rice or sesame chicken?
service was horrible, the waiter was very nasty and thats why he didnt get a tip ( an i usually tip at least 20%), i asked for juice and was charged for a cocktail ( so check your bill) and for some reason chicken with mixed vegetables was more onion than vegetables and chicken.
i will for sure, save my chinese craving for my trips to new york.
The only1 in Mia, otherwise go2 LA, NYC – Ok, folks, let's be realistic here. Unless you're a visitor, otherwise your taste buds are in Miami just like me.
This is the best dim sum this city can offer and if you know another, don't be a "shelf-fish", post it. Or buy your plane tickets and go to LA or Flushing, NYC for the best dim sum your plane tickets can buy. (never mind about the Chinatown, all the best dim sum chefs went to Flushing after 911, silly)

Posted 5/14/13 (Tue)
The "Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge Activity Guide" is now available to you, free for the taking.
These brochures were released at the end of April, and the information answers at least a dozen questions I've heard over the years about what can and cannot be done on the refuge here.
If you're relatively new to the area, pick one up at refuge headquarters. All you have to do is drive a mile west of town on the county road through town (or 6th Street), then turn left at the refuge sign. Follow the paved road to the refuge office and visitors' center, where right inside the front doors you'll find a rack filled with booklets and brochures about various refuge topics and programs.
These Activity Guides, with a plain brown cover, were placed at eye level on the left side of the display.
If you've lived in the Kenmare area all your life, you should still get a copy of this. According to refuge manager Chad Zorn, this is the first printing of this type of brochure that lists both the opportunities for public use on the refuge and the prohibited activities.
I admit, I had trouble with the "prohibited activities" when we first moved here. I was accustomed to public access and use on BLM and U.S. Forest Service land in Wyoming. However, those agencies both manage land for different objectives, including a greater emphasis on recreation, than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
I had to learn to accept that. Wildlife--migratory waterfowl, in our case here in Kenmare--comes first in the National Wildlife Refuge system. Not camping, hiking, fishing, boating or snowmobiling, like I'd done on public lands in Wyoming.
This brochure spells it all out for anyone who visits or lives around the Des Lacs NWR, though. The five public use areas are described, including the Canada Goose Nature Trail, Tasker's Coulee, Munch's Coulee, the Auto Tour Route north and south of Kenmare, and the Boat Dock Day Use/Canoe Use Area.
There's also the best map I've seen of the refuge that shows just where these areas are located, with symbols for the amenities and activities available at each site.
Two pages of the brochure are dedicated to information about the refuge, its facilities and accessibility, along with explanations about common uses of the refuge for hunting, wildlife photography, wildlife observation, and environmental education. The Activity Guide references another pamphlet available at the refuge, "Along the Souris River Loop Bird List," which I've found invaluable through the years to identify birds I've seen.
A list of activities prohibited on the refuge is included on the back page of the brochure. You may not agree with all of them, but those are the rules, established by federal mandate.
Several items on this list reflect common sense, like no littering, no trespassing, no possession of fireworks, and no open containers of any alcoholic drinks.
Other prohibited activities are tied directly to the refuge's priority regarding wildlife. Like many of you, I enjoy camping and horseback riding, and geocaching has become popular, I know. However, if I'm going to do these things, I need to find a location other than the refuge.
We humans do impact the land and its resources, even if we're just passing through. I'll admit that while I would love to roll out my sleeping bag in Tasker's Coulee and watch the stars some summer night, I also appreciate knowing at least a tiny bit of land is protected and left as untouched as possible in 21st century America.
A tiny bit of land that might appeal to the pintail, ruddy duck and blue-winged teal hens nesting here.
Go get yourself a copy of this brochure, so you'll know where you can sit and watch these ducks raise their broods later.
While you're waiting for nests to hatch, enjoy the Boat Dock Road, which has opened to the public again. Just be careful where you see areas of washed-out gravel. Repairs are scheduled!

That was the message Thursday from members of the Alabama Medicaid Pharmacy Study Commission, a panel tasked with finding ways to save money in the joint state-and-federal health care program.
"If we were to choose the single most aggressive option out there ... that does not close the funding shortfall in Medicaid by more than a third at best," said state health officer Don Williamson, the chairman of the commission.
The commission was appointed by Gov. Robert Bentley to find ways to cut drug costs in Medicaid, a program that has become the biggest single expense in the state's General Fund budget. Medicaid's $615 million price tag is more than twice what it was before the 2008 recession, largely because of an increase in clients for the program, which is designed to help people below the poverty line.
Last month, the commission heard three separate proposals for reform of Medicaid's drug program. One would turn management of the pharmacy program over to the American Pharmacy Cooperative Inc., or APCI, a group that negotiates drug prices for 500 member pharmacies. Another proposal would have put the program under the control of a pharmacy benefits manager, or PBM, such as CVS Caremark. The Wal-Mart Stores Inc. proposal would have the state send most patients exclusively to its stores, in exchange for discounts on drug prices.
Wal-Mart said its proposal would save the state $120 million in the first year, but at Thursday's meeting a state consultant presented his analysis of savings through each of the three plans. All three fell short.
The Wal-Mart plan would save between $19 million and $30 million per year, said Steve Schramm, director of Optumas, a consulting firm hired by the state. The PBM approach would save between $11 million and $29 million, Schramm projected — about $20 million less than the range projected by PBM advocates. Turning the drug benefit over to APCI would save a projected $5 million to $15 million per year, Schramm said; APCI officials had projected a savings of up to $60 million.
Williamson said the shortfalls emerged in part because he asked Optumas to consider the wider financial effects of each reform. Among other things, only one of the proposals assumed that the state's provider tax — a 10-cent tax charged on every prescription filled in the state — would remain in place.
Each plan had its benefits, Schramm said. APCI pharmacies and PBMs are already in the state, Schramm said, and PBMs have a good track record for catching Medicaid fraud.
The Wal-Mart proposal would give 80 percent to 90 percent of the state's Medicaid pharmacy business to the retail chain. Schramm said having most patients at the same pharmacy could make it easier for the state to implement wellness programs to encourage good health habits in Medicaid customers.
Schramm said Wal-Mart had presented him with projections on a number of options, including one in which Wal-Mart provided drugs to Medicaid customers with no co-pay. Co-pays in Medicaid are low — in Alabama, patients pay $3.90 per prescription — but Schramm said even those co-pays seemed to have an effect on patients.
"From our perspective we believe it does have an impact on access to care," Schramm said.
Schramm said that of the three proposals, the Wal-Mart option "represents the biggest departure" from Medicaid's current operations.
Sen. Greg Reed, R-Jasper, said he was concerned about the effect the proposals could have on rural Medicaid patients. He cited a hypothetical situation in which a small-town pharmacist closes because Medicaid business moved to a chain pharmacy.
"What happens to the patient in that particular city, who depends on the pharmacist as the number one provider of any kind of health care?" Reed asked.
Commission member Jim Carnes, who is also a spokesman for the group Alabama Arise, said the commission's analysis was losing sight of the human element.
"I'm concerned that we haven't seen any attempt to account for the human side of the relationship, the relationship between the provider and the patient," Carnes said.
The commission was originally expected to submit a report on possible reforms to Gov. Robert Bentley by Dec. 1. Williamson said he called Bentley, who is on an economic development trip in Japan, Thursday morning to ask for more time to study the issue. Among other things, Williamson wants to take a closer look at cost-cutting reforms in neighboring Georgia.
Williamson said expects to complete a report by the end of the year.

Heavy Duty Canes
Heavy duty canes have a much higher weight capacity than that of standard adult walking canes. Heavy duty canes, due to the increased weight capacity, tend to be heavier than standard walking canes. Most of the canes listed here as heavy duty canes are also quad base canes. Quad base canes, like this Medline Bariatric Cane, provide even more support since the 4 tips create a very stable square base for the cane's foundation.
