City and Premier League back East Africa fund
- 24 November 2011 11:14
- Posted by Chris Bailey
City and the Premier League have backed the DEC East Africa crisis appeal as it announced a weekend of action at top flight football clubs across England.
Fans will be able to text a number displayed on advertising boards, in match-day programmes and on players' training bibs to donate £5 to the appeal on this weekend.
Donations will go towards helping the 13 million people in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia who are facing hunger in the crisis which was brought on by severe drought.
At an event in Downing Street, George Osborne was joined by the Blues Patrick Vieira, Niall Quinn, Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore and Clive Jones, chair of the DEC appeal.
Vieira and Quinn, two former City stars, took part in a football match with local primary school children in Downing Street before Scudamore announced the partnership with DEC at a reception attended by the Chancellor George Osborne.
"The situation in the Horn of Africa remains desperate and it is great to see the Premier League getting involved to help," said Osborne.
Football fans up and down the country will be able to make a difference
...George Osborne
Scudamore added:
"The Premier League and its clubs have a long tradition of partnership with African football, and as a League we have many programmes that support grassroots sporting development in the continent and provide lasting legacy.
We recognise that it is vital the DEC Unite Appeal for East Africa remains at the forefront of people's minds
...Richard Scudamore
"We hope our weekend of action will bring it to the attention of the millions of fans who follow the Premier League each week and that their donations can greatly extend the excellent work of the UK Government."
So far the British public has donated £72 million to DEC through its East Africa Crisis Appeal.
The UK Government has fed 2.4 million people in the region since 1 July and is providing vaccinations to a further 2 million and clean water and sanitation to 1.2 million.
The Premier League has agreed to donate its match-day advertising space to the DEC appeal on Saturday 26, Sunday 27 and Monday 28 November.

Economies in China and Europe have weakened, and the U.S. has slogged through slow growth and high unemployment, yet stocks have climbed a shocking 10 percent since June on the expectation that the Federal Reserve and its counterparts in Europe would soon offer a helping hand.
Now the assumptions behind the summer romance with stocks are about to be tested, with possible disappointment in store for investors.
On Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke speaks at a Fed retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyo. — an annual event that has, on occasion, triggered tremendous stock market rallies. Then in early September, European financial leaders take the stage with much-anticipated meetings.
Investors have bet that the leaders finally will lay the path out of Europe's debt crisis and relieve the recession that is pulling down global powerhouses like Germany and China with weak countries like Spain and Greece.
But before Bernanke speaks Friday, analysts already are toning down expectations.
"We do not expect Chairman Bernanke's speech on Friday morning to shed much additional light on the near-term tactics of monetary policy," Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius said in a note to clients Tuesday. Although he thinks the Fed eventually will initiate more stimulus through bond buying known as "quantitative easing," he says the end of December or early 2013 is more likely than a September date.
That could test investors' patience and send stocks into retreat.
Although the U.S. economy is growing at a sluggish 1.5 percent, some data have shown slight improvement lately, including Tuesday's Case-Shiller report on rising home prices. With the improvement, there has been increasing debate by Fed officials about whether the Fed should use more stimulus to try to tame unemployment.
Strategist Ed Yardeni compared the debate to "a feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys."
In Europe, European Central Bank president Mario Draghi cooled expectations on rescue proposals for the eurozone when he announced Tuesday that he is not going to Jackson Hole as planned. He had been expected to speak, and investors had hoped to hear hints about a coordinated plan in Europe to keep borrowing costs low for debt-laden countries and capping interest rates. Without that help from united European countries, some have argued that such countries as Spain and Italy will sink deeper into recession.
But all proposals are controversial, with sharp debate and political division throughout Europe. In Germany, a European bailout fund supported by eurozone countries is being challenged in Germany's Constitutional Court. Troubled countries such as Spain and Italy would apply to the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) bailout fund, if they deemed it necessary.
But if Germany's Constitutional Court finds Germany's support for the fund illegal when it rules Sept. 12, bailouts will not occur as planned because Germany is the country with the deepest pockets.
The expected court decision in mid-September could reopen questions about the eurozone's fate and likely shake investors.
Instead of providing hints on any proposal at Jackson Hole, Draghi said Tuesday that he will be too busy to attend. Analysts debated whether that signaled Draghi might not live up to the high hopes that powered a European stock rally after Draghi said in July he would "do whatever it takes to preserve the euro."
"Quite literally, markets are hanging on the implementation of those words," Citigroup strategist Hans Lorenzen said in a report to clients Tuesday. He noted that Draghi's July comment was a "game changer" for nervous investors in stocks and risky bonds as "Draghi cleverly managed to keep the market in suspense through August." He allayed "the summer turmoil that had been widely anticipated," Lorenzen said.
"It is hard not to wish that the summer holidays could go on longer," said Matt King, Citigroup credit strategist. "Mostly, we are concerned that as politicians return from holiday, the bill that governments are facing remains extremely large … and a slew of upcoming events seem likely to highlight the difficulty they will have paying it."

Notes: Coaches adjusting to helmets
Equipment now mandatory in wake of Coolbaugh death
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
After pitching the one inning, Westbrook moved to the bullpen, where he threw a simulated inning. He threw about 25 pitches in all. He's not scheduled to start again until next Sunday, against the Nationals, and he'll probably throw a bullpen session in between. The Indians scratched the 30-year-old Westbrook on Thursday, after he complained about the arm soreness. He said that he's learned how to read his body over the years. He's even cut back on crashing into the wall for laughs while shagging fly balls. "The older you get, the more you have to do to stay on top of things," Westbrook said. "You have to be smart about it. You won't see me out there power shagging anymore." Mister blister: Top pitching prospect Adam Miller said that the blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand has completely healed. Miller is slated to do some long-tossing Monday. He'll then progress to bullpen sessions on the side before taking part in any Grapefruit League games. The 23-year-old Miller will open the season at Triple-A Buffalo, but could make his big league debut this season, if he can stay healthy. Rivalry report: Joe Borowski didn't face the Tigers on Sunday. He pitched a side bullpen session instead. But Borowski is looking forward to facing that tough Tigers' lineup this season. "I thought we had a great series last year, and it's just going to be that much more intense," Borowski said. "It's exciting as a competitor to face one of the best lineups in baseball and see where you stand." Borowski is unfazed by the Indians' inaction this offseason, relative to the Tigers' big moves. "People forget that guys are trying to catch up to where we're at," he said. "I guess in sports nowadays you get used to teams making changes all the time. But making a move just to make a move is counterproductive." Toregas fine: Catcher Wyatt Toregas, who left Saturday's game in the eighth inning after dislocating the index finger on his glove hand, was feeling fine on Sunday. He had the day off, though. "I'll just take a day," Toregas said. "Honestly, I could have popped it in and kept playing." Dedication: The Indians announced that more than 100 people braved the cold and snow to line up at the Progressive Field box office for single-game tickets for 2008, which went on sale on Saturday morning. On deck: A year ago, with Cliff Lee held up by an abdominal strain, Fausto Carmona became the Tribe's fifth starter by default. Nineteen wins and a fourth-place finish in the Cy Young voting later, Carmona enters '08 in a much more prominent position in the rotation. He'll make his '08 debut Monday, as the Indians travel to Dunedin for a 1:05 p.m. ET game against Shaun Marcum and the Blue Jays. Rafael Perez, Aaron Fultz, Tom Mastny, Scott Lewis, Rich Rundles and Reid Santos will also be available to pitch for the Tribe.

Most forums on RpgForums.Net come with a long list of questions and answers. We have decided that we'd like to skip over the length and jump right down into the rules and regulations of this forum. These rules are basically specific continuations of the main rules that are exerted over all of RpgForums.Net. Those rules are like the American Constitution, while these rules are like the laws of an individual state. Now that this brief explanation is out of the way, here are the following rules for the Fan Fiction Forum. We recommend following these if you'd actually like to get anywhere within this forum.
Here goes.
Part A: Posting Stories and Commenting on Written Works
1. Read the FFF Rules and Regulations before you post anything within this forum. If you don't understand a certain rule then PM Snowglare or me. It is usually very obvious when a post doesn't conform to the forum standards. Usually when this happens other users will either laugh at you, or immediately decide not to actually read your story. They'll also usually make sure to tell you this. To avoid this, take the 5-10 minutes to read these rules. Reading the rules tends to help with a lot of things. Like not committing murder, staying out of jail, etc. It's no different here.
2. It is not required that your story be well written, but please do not post ugly first drafts. Go over your work, fixing the errors you can find. Help yourself before seeking help here. It is easily discernable whether an author has put five minutes of work into a piece of writing or many hours worth of work into it. If you don't want people telling you how much your story sucks, put some time into it. Usually the quality of a story is directly proportional to how much time has been put into writing it. Forum members tend to react negatively towards writing that burns out their eyes.
3. If you couldn't care less about the quality of your story, neither do we. Don't post it here. FanFiction.net will gladly take any trash you have to offer. We prefer at least some quality writing... that or authors willing to do things to improve the quality of their writing.
4. Don't flame or personally insult... the authors. Their writing, on the other hand, is game as long as the criticism stays somewhat in the realm of the constructive. Once again though, if you dump a bunch of random misspelled words into a forum post, don't expect to get happy responses. At the same time, if all you do is troll and tell every other writer that their story is crap, don't expect Snowglare or me to fancy you very much either. Negative story criticism is okay (in moderation). Witty negative story criticism is better. Above all, constructive criticism is the best and most smiled upon.
5. Do not direct personal insults at any member under any circumstance. If you are insulted, report the post, but do not retaliate. If I see a flame war going on, I don't care who started it, all the users involved will get in trouble. Prevent flame wars, PM a mod or report the post. This may seem redundant with Part A: Rule 4., but it deserves the repetition. Criticize the story, not the author, etc. etc.
6. Willful Plagiarism = Banned. Don't expect tolerance for any deed of this nature. Of all infractions, this would be considered the worst. See sites like this one for more information on copyright law. Fair use means that you can quote small parts of a creative work, not reproduce it in its entirety. Never try to take credit for work that isn't yours. Otherwise, our trained ninja cats will track you down and claw you to death. And after they do that, we'll ban you.
7. Correct formatting = press enter twice after each paragraph or dialogue. Blocks of text are evil! Again, burnt out eyes = teh suck for replies.
8. Back up all of your writing on your hard drive, on CD, on floppy, on paper, whatever. The forum may crash at any time, and there will most likely be no way to retrieve it then. You should realize by now that digital media on the net is not usually permanent. Even if you get it into a place like TDL, there are still chances that something could go wrong, so back it up!
9. If you have a new chapter or revised version of an old chapter for a story you've already started a thread for, post it on that thread. Multiple threads for one story will in most cases be merged. If you continue to make more than one thread without some sort of relevant reason, you could eventually end up with a ban or at least a very stern warning against doing it again.
10. Do not post any pornographic or erotic stories, or stories with excessive profanity. They may be deleted at the discretion of the moderators. Some things you can get away with, some things you can't. When in doubt, don't... or ask one of the mods.
11. Even though this is a Diablo II Fan Fiction Forum, you may posts works of any genre. The focus is on writing, any writing, not just fan fiction.
12. When you write Diablo stories, be original. Don't go through the overly done and extremely boring route of following the plot of the game (unless you are Anyee or Bane). Use the world of Sanctuary to tell a new story, one that also takes place in that world. If you must do the game plotline, do it very well (e.g. with a lot of originality and expansion and extremely skilled writing and great imagery and and and...). Otherwise, we probably won't read it. It is tired. Try something new.
13. Don't artificially bump your thread by making contentless posts like, say, "bump". Repeated bumping may earn you a ban. Either that or we'll chop your arm off... whichever you prefer.
14. Wondering why your thread or post was locked, edited or deleted? PM a moderator. The last thing you should do is make a Why was my thread locked??? thread. Ok, second to last. The last thing you should do is make a y wuz my thred lokced??/? thread and flame the mods, their family, the forum, the forum's family, dii.net as a whole, and our little dog too. We retain the right to lock a thread on a whim. We retain the right to delete a thread at any point in time. You don't like that? well, talk it over with the ninja cats when they come to remove your head.
15. Last but not least, remember this is a forum for writing and the improvement of writing. Use it for that.
Appendix: Just for your general information, check this site out to learn about common errors in the English language.
Part B: Non-story Threads
1. Topics of discussion are limited; non-story posts should still pertain to writing in some way. This is a forum for writing, so keep it under that realm. Feel free to discuss and interpret literature. Feel free to talk about writing theory, the history of the English language, etc. You should get the picture. If it is about writing in some way, it is probably acceptable. If you aren't sure whether your topic is appropriate for the fan fiction forum, please ask a moderator.
2. If the post doesn't conform to the above, we will consider it Off-Topic. When it comes to off-topic posts, how it is handled is at the discretion of the moderators. In general, for your first offense, we'll tell you about it and then move your post to the correct forum. Upon your second offense, we'll just delete the post. On your third offense, other actions may become necessary, such as your account being banned. If you blatantly spam O/T posts, we will just skip to the last offense and ban you. Hopefully even IP ban you. Yes, this stuff annoys us. It isn't that hard to keep your respective topics within their respective forums. If you find this too difficult... well I'm not quite sure how you figured out how to get online.
3. You spam; we ban. Pretty simple.
4. In discussion the same rules of courtesy apply as in commenting on stories. Attack the topic, argument, debate, etc., but not the author. Create a flame war, and we'll burn you.
5. If you post utter garbage, don't cry when it gets locked or deleted, and we make fun of you.
6. Remember, this forum is about writing and relevant topics. Keep it that way. Keep personal chat for PMs.
Part C: The Dark Library
1. The Dark Library (henceforth referred to as TDL) is a place for authors to post works of fiction set in the Diablo, Diablo 2, and World of Warcraft universes, as well as non-gaming fiction of all sorts, though we would prefer the plots to evolve in a fantasy setting. TDL will also host RPGs (serial fiction written by a group of authors) and character concepts (theoretical characters that could appear in D1, D2, or WoW). This is a place where finished or near-finished, polished works will be posted, so a higher level of quality is definitely expected.
(taken from TDL's FAQ)
2. The Dark Library (i.e. Anyee and Kahn) may take any story that is posted to any of the Fan Fiction Forums (including this one) and place it within its archives. It will of course give credit to the author. Preferably though, the author will usually just be asked to come to TDL, sign up as a member (which is free), and submit their story. We usually only take stories without explicitly asking whenever we hit a particularly dry spell of little to no submissions (this hasn't happened in a while... I still try to make myself believe this is a good thing :-P ).
3. We have high standards at TDL. We don't validate stories that suck. We are also very harsh when it comes to following submission guidelines. If you burn out our eyes, not only will we not accept the story and send the ninja cats after you, but we'll also send Anyee after you. She's been after me before. It wasn't pretty. You've been warned.
4. The best order is to post your story to the Fan Fiction Forum before you submit it to TDL. That way you can correct errors that would make us delete your submission. Many users get this process backwards. Try not to be one of them. Thanks.
5. Finally, if you really want to know more about TDL, just visit it. It's located at http://tdl.diabloii.net. Even better, visit TDL's FAQ.
That's all for the Rules and Regulations of DiabloII.Net's Fan Fiction Forum. These rules are subject to change at any time by those with the power to do so (Snowglare, Kahn... also Anyee if it deals with the any TDL aspect). Thanks for reading this. Let the fun begin. In general, just respect the spirit of this forum, the people at this forum, and yourself. Do that and you should have a very enjoyable time at the lovely Fan Fiction Forum.

LAGRANGE, Ga. — A driver ignoring a no-passing zone on a west Georgia highway crossed into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on into another car, killing himself and four others, including a 1-year-old boy, the Georgia State Patrol said Saturday.
The deadly crash Friday night in LaGrange, near the Alabama state line, also injured two teenage passengers who were airlifted in critical condition to hospitals in Atlanta and Columbus, said Georgia State Patrol spokesman Gordy Wright.
Witnesses said a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass was moving at a high speed when it crossed into the lane for oncoming traffic to pass another vehicle, though the roadway was marked as a no-passing zone. The Oldsmobile, driven by 28-year-old Willie Hooks of LaGrange, slammed into the front of a 1995 Pontiac GrandAm.
"Alcohol is suspected as a possible contributing factor," Wright said in an email. "And blood was drawn from Mr. Hooks to determine a blood-alcohol content."
The State Patrol said the driver of the Pontiac, 23-year-old Melanie Kay Lemmon of LaGrange, was killed along with three passengers in her car — Miranda L. Hurston, 37; Hurston's 16-year-old son, Tridarius Harrison; and her 1-year-old grandson, Quamauri C. Harrison.
Authorities said Hurston also had two teenage daughters who were in the Pontiac and survived the crash. Shaquavious S. Harrison, 18, and Jayvianna C. Hurston, 15, were both in critical condition Saturday morning, Wright said. Shaquavious Harrison is the mother of the baby boy who died.
Witness John Hart told the LaGrange Daily News (http://bit.ly/W7rFgi ) that he and his family were driving northbound after a pizza dinner when he saw the Oldsmobile speed past him on the left and keep moving in the southbound lane as if the driver also intended to pass the next vehicle, four car lengths ahead of Hart.
"He had plenty of room to get back over, and it was like he had to pass that one car in front of me," Hart said. "I said, 'Please Jesus, please Jesus, don't let anyone be coming the other way on the other side of that knoll.' And that's when the crash happened."
Hart said he and other witnesses pulled over and called for help. He said rescue workers had to cut the victims out of the wreckage.
"There was just complete silence," Hart said. "No moans, not a sound."
FIVE lives over and two hurt badly, many more lives demolished or ruined by the injuries and deaths, and of course the dumba** drunk gets to live.
@AngelE, the first paragraph says the driver killed himself and 4 other people. And I'm sure he has family and friends grieving for him too. It's a sad situation all around.

Comments about Staples Quill Brand� Folding Chairs; Deluxe:
I work for a small accounting firm, and we needed chairs for our breakroom table. These folding chairs aren't the most attactive, but that is not our concern. They are not the most comfortable (I mean, what metal chair is comfortable, let's be honest?), but they provide seating for our lunch breaks. Also, they are a lot sturdier than the chairs that came with the table. I have a feeling these folding chairs will last us awhile. Thank goodness. No complaining here.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The 2011 NBA Draft has come and gone, leaving everyone waiting now for good news regarding the looming NBA lockout. Until then, however, we'll keep the rumor roundup going as long as there are interesting things coming out on the undrafted prospects -- as well as the other free agents outside of the NBA.
The 2011 NBA Draft is just a couple of hours away, but there are still plenty of prospects not familiar to the casual viewer. Fortunately, Ridiculous Upside is here to fix that by giving a bit of a brief rundown of the D-League's draft-eligible Jamine Peterson.
The 2011 NBA Draft is here and that means everyone should be really, really excited. The rumors for the next 12 hours are probably going to include plenty of smokescreens, trade proposals only one of the teams know about and tidbits that seem completely implausible until the second they happen (Long live Pape Sy!).
It's come to that point in time leading up to the 2011 NBA Draft that the morning posting of NBA rumors simply isn't enough. Stories are breaking, sources are talking and trades are a-brewin' all over the internet.
The 2011 NBA Draft is officially one day away, meaning all of the mainstream media members are producing their Greatest Hits. Rumors of which players are rising and falling, which teams are trading up and down and which players may or may not have promises are all heating up like Karl Welzein's thighs.
The 2011 NBA Draft is just 48 hours away, which is crazy. It also means that even since Ridiculous Upside posted rumors early Tuesday morning, there are enough for another batch just 12 hours later following a new batch of mock drafts and rumor posts from the big dogs.
The 2011 NBA Draft is just two sleeps away -- as the cool girls on my Facebook say -- which means the rumors, smokescreens and speculation regarding random trades are coming to a head.
It's the week of the 2011 NBA Draft so we should probably be concentrating my efforts there. However, when news of Adam Morrison working out for the Chicago Bulls hits Ridiculous Upside headquarters, it has to be written about.
The 2011 NBA Draft is now officially less than a week away which means the rumors are getting hotter and heavier than things that are really hot and heavy. The Ridiculous Upside headquarters are buzzing with anticipation -- and that's not even a rumor!
The Timberwolves, Thunder, Knicks, Hornets and Pacers have already brought in players fans sort of remember from yesteryear and now -- according to sources with knowledge of the workout -- the Denver Nuggets will begin a three-day workout for prospective additions to their training camp roster.

Dear Editor: Your opening editorial in the September/October 2001 issue of Medical Meetings has recently come to my attention. I was shocked by the way you related my comments. They were completely out of context. The inference was that I was against the pharmaceutical industry being involved in Continuing Medical Education activities, when in fact I was a strong advocate for the industry's role in the CME process. I emphasized that those of us who are providers of CME activities have to be sensitive to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.
As we have a responsibility to the physician community, the industry also has a responsibility to their shareholders that their money is being well spent. By and large, the industry, with few exceptions, has accomplished this in an ethical and unbiased manner. However, it is totally unrealistic to even think that a particular company would support a speaker who speaks in a biased manner toward their product.
Without industry support only the larger academic centers would be financially able to support CME activities. Surely this would present an unbalanced view of medicine as practiced in our country. I would further anticipate a considerable reduction in the scope and volume of CME activity, to the detriment of the physician community, and in particular to the public who are the true beneficiaries of CME activities.
Morton Morris, D.O., J.D.
Chairman, Council on CME
American Osteopathic Association
Davie, Florida
Dear Editor: Reacting to your editorial in the September/October 2001 issue, permit me to offer a hypothetical situation that casts industry's role in CME somewhat differently from your depiction. As written in your "No More Compromises," page 123, I can envision pharmaceutical product managers reconsidering continued diversion of advertising dollars to CME, because the bar is raised unnecessarily high. Rather than focus on warnings and rare adverse events, let's look at the indications and potential patient benefits from industry's support of CME.
"I've just had an important learning experience," a primary care practice physician might say following a visiting lecture program supported by Pharma Company X. "And, fortunately, the speaker was a little biased, so that we could learn of his prejudice for or against New Drug Y. Although the speaker was one recommended by Pharma Company X, the CME provider approved [the suggestion], since that speaker was one of the lead investigators in New Drug Y's clinical trials."
More often, a commercial supporter will offer multiple names for potential faculty, from which the CME provider may make a choice. And [it's] usually a good choice, since it's only logical that the supporting company would know the therapeutic category's medical experts, as well as those known to be skilled in adult learning principles. As long as the faculty follows the Accreditation Council for CME disclosure policy, as outlined in their Standards for Commercial Support of CME, the audience will understand the speaker's bias. It's up to the participants' own educated judgment whether the material presented was scientifically objective and balanced.
Research-based pharmaceutical manufacturers have an ethical obligation to know more about their products than anyone and to ensure that knowledge is fully conveyed to potential prescribers. Physicians rate CME as one of their most valued sources of medical information. And, repeat analyses have shown that industry funding of the CME enterprise has become essential, since funding from independent sources has rapidly decreased. Threatening ethical continued CME provider/industry collaboration, based upon the egregious actions of a few, would not be in the best interests of improved patient care.

Dear Editor: My first time ever writing to an editor, but you raised an issue that's near and dear to my heart. We are just a community hospital that scheduled once a week one-hour CME lectures. The vast majority of our pharmaceutical reps were honest and ethical, but a few were unbelievably, intentionally inept and thought I wasn't smart enough to catch on.
For one program, the rep gave me three possible speaker curricula vitae as requested. Two had spoken here before and were on our "don't come back" list. The third was the head of the medical school at Columbia University (remember, we're just little ol' [medical center, name withheld upon request]). So, we picked the Columbia doc, who just happened to never be available.
When I talked to the third-party communications company they were using, I found out that the rep had already scheduled and confirmed one of the speakers we had refused. I was told, "We put him down as a marketing talk then if you want him, we just change the paperwork to CME." Nope, not on my watch, you don't!!
[We] had another company that gave me a speakers list, at my request, with about 30 speakers on it. We picked our top three and were told, sorry none of them can make it that date, but Dr. XX is available. We offered to change the date, none of the three could make that date either, but Dr. XX could. We picked three different speakers and low and behold, none of them … I played the game a little longer and it appeared that out of 30 speakers, ONLY Dr. XX would ever be able to speak to our doctors. Nope, not on my watch!!
We have a policy on consequences for a rep or company that violates the guidelines — they can be banned from participation in our CME activities — and we've used it. I could tell you more tales, but…Congratulations of your bravery in bringing this out in the open.

Providence, RI – Complete interview between Megan Hall and Governor Chafee on Arizona's attempts to clarify federal policy on medical marijuana dispensaries
Providence, RI – Joanne Lepannen is the leader of the Rhode Island Patient Advocacy Coalition, or RIPAC. She doesn't like Chafee's plan to tax medical marijuana, but not prescription drugs."The fact that medical cannabis is not being treated in the same manner and in the same regard that prescription medication would be maybe create a public perception that it is not the same medicine," Lepannen says.
She says the she's also worried the tax will make it even harder for low income patients to buy their medicine.

Student ID tracking case heads to appeals court
The Northside Independent School District says the fight over its radio frequency ID badge is heading to an appeals court.
Northside ISD spokesman Pascual Gonzalez said the district was notified of the appeal to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday by Steven and Andrea Hernandez.
A federal judge on Tuesday denied their request to allow Andrea to attend John Jay High School and not wear a radio frequency ID badge.
Gonzalez said Hernandez has until the end of next week to tell the district whether she plans to stay at the school with an ID badge without a chip or return to Taft High School, her home school.
In a statement sent through email, Gonzalez said taxpayers are continuing to pay the district's legal bill, which will certainly be in the tens of thousands of dollars. According to Gonzalez, the district will pursue recovering the costs from the Hernandez family based on the judge's ruling.

Everything Will Get Done
A Simple Reminder by Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu: Philosopher and Founder of Taoism
Laozi (Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ; Wade–Giles: Lao Tzu; also romanized as Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze, Laosi, Laocius, and other variations) (fl. 6th century BCE) was a philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). His association with the Tào Té Chīng has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of philosophical Taoism (pronounced as "Daoism"). He is also revered as a deity in most religious forms of Taoist philosophy, which often refers to Laozi as Taishang Laojun, or "One of the Three Pure Ones".
According to Chinese traditions, Laozi lived in the 6th century BCE. Some historians contend that he actually lived in the 5th–4th century BCE, concurrent with the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period, while some others argue that Laozi is a synthesis of multiple historical figures or that he is a mythical figure.
A central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Laozi in their lineage. He was honored as an ancestor of the Tang imperial family, and was granted the title Táishāng xuānyuán huángdì, meaning "Supreme Mysterious and Primordial Emperor". Throughout history, Laozi's work has been embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements. (Wikipedia)

hi! welcome to greenlemon…
My name is Adrian and I like to build simple, useful and innovative solutions to real problems.
My name is Adrian and I like to build simple, useful and innovative solutions to real problems.
Before I begin with this post – I must warn you: The story is long. Trainerlisting consumed almost 8-12 months of my life. There were many failures and not very many successes – but full of lessons, and yes, I would do it all over again.
Elevator Pitch
Trainerlisting is a simple to use, self service, Australian Personal Trainer directory. The Personal Trainer profiles on Trainerlisting are filled with standard profile features: photos, videos, comments, ratings, etc.
The initial concept for Trainerlisting was born while I was running on a treadmill at my local gym. I noticed a pin-board of A4 printed PT profiles – and many gym goers huddling around trying to learn more about their potential PT. My thought pattern went something like – "Why would you huddle around, cramped, and squinting, trying to find out about a PT, when you could just go and check out the website, right?"
Wrong. The gym website didn't contain any PT profiles! Why? There's one reason I can think of immediately – PTs come and go. If you didn't build your website with a CMS solution in place, you'd have to pay a developer every time you wanted to make changes to the PT profile pages.
It seemed like a great opportunity – build a site that would:
1. Give gym owners/managers/PT managers an easy way of adding/modifying/deleting PT information from their website.
2. Modify this information in one place only and have it immediately push out to all connected sites.
3. If they have that information on their website, pull it into a directory and give the business another marketing outlet.
The idea seemed plausible, in fact, it still does. So what happened?
Research in this case meant researching PT directory sites and their features. Wait – what? Can anyone see a problem? Without even realizing it, I skipped point 1 and 2 and went directly to point 3! First mistake, and first lesson – before even beginning development of the site.
I had a look at several competitors, one in particular established competitor that had years on me – albeit their focus was more on Gyms than PTs. Much of a muchness…
Even with these early signs (losing focus, an established competitor, not enough research) pointing to trouble – I continued. I was going to be an entrepreneur dammit, and nothing was going to stop me!
The short: The site took months to build, had a few clients, made some money, took lots of my time and brain power, and then it was shut down. Was it as a success or failure?
The long…
The site took months to build. I built every feature that I could possibly build into it, so that when it came time to demo it to PT studios/Gyms/etc, I could win them over with its feature richness. Mistake 2.
I did the usual stuff that came with building a business. I created a brand which consisted of an easily recognizable logo, a couple of tag lines and two PT characters (thanks Age and Brett). These elements were consistent across the business cards, marketing material and promotional material.
Once the site was built, I began the SEO strategy. I didn't quite know the importance of SEO until a couple of months later. Searches for PTs keywords I deemed important was low, so being first or second in search results mattered – it mattered big time!
Finally I began marketing and going out and seeing potential clients. I did letterbox drops of marketing material, mailed marketing material out, emailed gyms/personal training studios, started an SMS campaign (thanks Damian and Andy) and eventually got out and visited potential gyms/personal training studios. But what was I selling? Why was I doing letterbox drops? Remember the 3 features? Other than building a simple widget (which was the simplest implementation of the initial idea), features 1 and 2 were forgotten about.
At this point I had almost completely lost focus and forgotten about my initial target market – Gyms/Personal Trainer studios – not small ones – but medium to large ones – ones that didn't have PT information on their website.
Trying to find the right way to monetize Trainerlisting was one of the toughest parts of running this small business. Initially I followed the competition's strategy (see the section about being focused) – and as an outcome the monetization strategy was very simple, a yearly fee. This was the only way a PT would get a profile on Trainerlisting, no trial for you (Reminds me of a particular Seinfeld episode involving the Soup Nazi). In hindsight I was pretty naive to think that anyone was going to signup at a yearly fee, without even being able to try it first.
The second iteration, of figuring out a decent way to monetize, yielded the (common) freemium strategy. I offered free registration that gave PTs the minimum set of profile features. I chose a different route to my competitors – mostly, they gave away the profile for free, but charged depending PTs on how many postcodes they advertised their services in (again with the focus thing – selling to PTs directly wasn't the idea). I decided that postcodes weren't the right way to sell membership – it seemed, well, fickle to do so. At this point though, the yearly fee still stood.
Third iteration of the strategy was to still go the freemium route, but change the yearly fee to a recurring monthly fee. This was by far the most successful strategy as it produced reasonable results – more signups. It was at this stage that I built more features for the premium subscribers. I thought that if I was the produce the most compelling reasons to signup that more PTs would. Unfortunately it wasn't the case.
There was another business case that targeted PTs which wanted to start their own small business – I would set them up with their own custom blog setup which included a subdomain, a wordpress setup, business cards and help on getting started. Where did this come from? Why was I doing this? I'm definitely sitting here feeling frustrated writing this. Needless to say, this strategy had no legs. The price point was wrong, the market was wrong…
Overall, I found selling to PTs, especially on why it was important for them to have an online strategy, very difficult. PTs are more concerned with the real world, their clients and how to up skill themselves to get more clients – online sales strategies are somewhere at the back of their minds.
So what happened to the original idea of selling to PT related businesses – well, that came a very distant third on the list – it should've been at the forefront of what I was trying to achieve. I did try – not very hard – but I did try, however, by then I was already on a path of destruction.
Where do I start…
- Don't lose focus! This was by far the biggest mistake that I made. If I had stuck to my original plan and idea, maybe I wouldn't be writing this post. The idea had legs, it solves a problem, but by losing focus, the idea morphed into something I that shouldn't have been pursued for so long. The message here is very clear.
- Iterate and iterate often. I quickly found out the reason PTs weren't signing up – and I changed the model. Granted, I probably should've figured it all out a little earlier than I did, but I eventually got there.
- Get out there and talk to potential clients about what you're trying to do, how much they would pay for your services, etc. In this instance, PTs were not willing to pay, not matter what the feature set for the premium account was – maps, analytics, commenting, ratings, searching, flickr integration, youtube integration, personal blogs, etc.
- Just because marketing material is cheap in bulk, doesn't mean you should order 1000 of everything. In fact I've still got a pack of 100 A4 pages of marketing material that hasn't been opened. Refine your sales pitch, refine your marketing material – get the bare minimum to get started.
- Get out there and get as many NO's as possible – it will teach you things that you can't learn in front of a PC. I still struggle with this today. I'm a relatively confident person but getting out there face to face with somebody and trying to sell your warez doesn't come naturally.
100%! An absolute given. The problem about hearing about the success stories is exactly that – you rarely hear about the failures. I learnt the hard way and I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything. In my case I spent a few months without a full time job, spent a little bit of money, but learnt many, many lessons! In the scheme of things, this was a massive success.
Get out there, make mistakes, because standing still will get you no where… :)
Elevator Pitch
delizzy.com is a delicious.com bookmarks search engine. The app searches through the content, not just the titles, of your delicious bookmarks.
I came up with the idea for this app while using delicious – the social bookmarking site. This app is a kind of"scratch my own itch" app – meaning it solved an issue I had/have. I'm a lazy saver of bookmarks, meaning that when I save a bookmark I'm not thorough – I'm quick. I don't add tags, a description, etc which ultimately leads to information-poor bookmarks. This makes searching over my bookmarks very hard.
Search engines are information rich – they store loads of information about websites, index it and open the index up for search. Why not combine the power of search engines with your bookmarks – that way you can have powerful, lazy bookmarking…
My research wasn't extensive – in fact, there was only one other similar app out there – deliGoo. I was quite disappointed when I couldn't install the app – as it was an Firefox extension only. So my research stopped there…
I wrote the app in Ruby and used the Rails framework. This was my second attempt at RoR. It was a good opportunity to learn more about the semantics of both technologies. Choosing RoR did have some drawbacks – the app was slow. There is a load of XML parsing/manipulation/creation happening in the background – as well as querying of the Delicious and Google APIs.
It did however work quite well – it did everything that I wanted it to do with a minimal amount of effort. I built the site in under 3 days. There were some technical gotchas – one being that Google caches each CSE (Custom Search Engine) – these issues were overcome though, some with a little bit of smarts and some with a little bit of trickery.
Finally, I submitted the app to techcrunch.com not really expecting it to be written about – but it was and it generated a massive traffic spike. Check out the article here. It was rewarding to see users using the app. There was only one issue – during the traffic spike, delicious throttled my API access… This meant users couldn't get access to the app the first time they tried – ultimately being detrimental to app's success.
I wasn't that concerned about monetizing this app – however, I did try. I tried Google Ads which failed miserably. The site is quite simple, with not much content – so when Google tried to serve contextual ads, no ads were very contextual… So I removed them.
Secretly I was hoping delicious would notice the app and possibly offer me a job… :)
I believe this is the most important part, so here we go:
1. Choose the right tool for the job – I believe that RoR was the wrong choice. This lesson correlates directly with the one below.
2. Spending money on the right infrastructure would've fixed most of the performance issues (but choosing a different technology could've wiped this lesson out completely). One Mongrel instance was insufficient to serve an XML hungry app like this one to multiple users. Obviously…
3. Communicate with API providers – and communicate early. It takes providers some time to arrange whitelists/etc – which is totally acceptable and fair. Delizzy is now whitelisted, but the opportunity for the app to become mainstream has passed…
Sure – in fact, I was just about to re-write delizzy using a very light Ruby framework called Sinatra, or even a Java framework called Play – but I won't. Why? Delicious may be shutting down… Unfortunate.
If delicious wasn't shutting down, I would certainly do it again. It was simple, inexpensive, not time consuming and useful.
You can check out delizzy at – http://www.delizzy.com – but, unfortunately you won't be able to try it out. This is deliberate – I've removed the ability to login. Why? Until an announcement is made about delicious' future – I'd rather create something new.
Elevator Pitch
Listaurus is a collection of Top X themed lists.
Searching the web for the keywords "minimalist site design" yields Top X lists for the first 5 results… I wanted to aggregate these lists in the one place and present them for easy consumption.
I didn't want to spend too much time on building a site – since I was working on something else at the time – but I did want to save these lists somewhere. Why not bookmarks? Possible – in fact, I built a site for searching over the content of your bookmarks. I didn't go the bookmark route as I wanted to include content that wasn't necessarily my taste.
Sure – just do another search for the keywords "Top 10 Lists"… The research wasn't very re-assuring. I could've gone the list creation route like Listverse, who probably do very well, but that wasn't the idea. I wanted to bookmark lists – but on a site which could be shared.
Let's firstly talk about the tech: Listaurus is WordPress. That's right, wordpress turned out to be the ideal technology for the site (I launched Listaurus in 3 days). I also used Yahoo Pipes for collating the data and a bunch of WordPress plugins to help me publish the lists.
My biggest problem was the list data. I didn't want to go out and search for it – I wanted it to come to me. And it does. I use Yahoo Pipes to collect the data from multiple sources, parse out the non list data, and pipe it directly me. I collect it, massage it, find an image for the it and publish it. :) Easy!
Google Ads fitted directly in the sidebar, and WOW, did they look good. In fact I even started making a little bit of money having them on the site – until my wife clicked on the Ads thinking she was helping. The rest is history. No more Google Ads! :(
There are a couple of lessons to learn from my experiences with, as I call it, this "mainstream" app.
1. Explain to your family, that under no circumstances should they click on your site's ads. They're not helping.
2. Don't burn out. I found that I was trying to post too many lists a day. It's a simple process but it's time consuming and it burnt me out. Make sure the work load is something you can handle – especially when it's repetitive.
It was thought of on monday, soft launched on wednesday and seen by you today. Of course I'd do it again.

Elevator Pitch
suburb/slice showcases 2006 census data in a visually consumable format – via charts, images and maps.
suburb/slice was developed for the App My State competition in 2010 – which was a Victorian Government initiative to give innovation in the Victorian state a kickstart. It was the first build for the competition – and my first app in PHP.
As part of the competition, the Victorian Government released, or made available, several datasets – including links to existing data websites.
I came up with the idea while searching through these datasets and spotting a very badly organised Victorian Government Census site. I guess my initial thought was – if I'm finding navigating this site very difficult, the normal user would find it almost impossible…
After coming up with the initial idea – the only research that I conducted before building suburb/slice was to research the entries of a similar run competition in New South Wales. Some of the winners created similar apps to suburb/slice – so I followed the leader for this one. There are many articles advocating that first to market is the best way to capture market share – whereas, others argue that you should never be first to market… So which one is it.
The outcome was simple – this app wasn't successful in winning any prize in the competition. It did however win – users.
I wrote the app in PHP5 and used the MVC framework – CakePHP. After writing a few apps in RoR – MVC was very familiar to me so that decision was a no brainer. Specifically I chose PHP and CakePHP because- 1. I have never written anything in PHP and 2. I wanted to host the site/s on a normal hosting account – not a special RoR hosting account. (Everyone supports PHP)
In my case, first to market was negative and positive. How? Well, by being second to market, the outcome wasn't great (read below) but it did have it's advantage. The developers that created apps for the New South Wales competition normalized a lot of the data – which made developing the site quite easy.
So, users – after a few weeks of the app being live I was made aware by friends that the app was placed on several "Research Portals" on public libraries' sites. This was enough of a reason for me to keep suburb/slice up – people find it useful! Win!
There were a couple of strategies I considered for suburb/slice. Creating an API that apps/companies could access for a fee is/was one. I think it's still possible – but since the census is conducted every 5 years – in 2011, we'll have new data, so I might wait for that census and reconsider. The second strategy was creating widgets the could be placed on third party sites – which would attract a small monthly fee. This was a strategy I wanted to use for a different app (post coming soon).
There were no real lessons learnt here, except for:
1. If you have a strategy, try it out. I didn't push my monetization strategies very hard.
2. Being first or second doesn't seem to matter – it's all about timing…
Definitely. It was an easy app to build – CakePHP is an easy framework to use and PHP was a great tool for the job.
I still have hope for creating a similar app for the 2011 data and really pushing the monetization strategies.

Elevator Pitch
Watergeddon is an in your face, albeit – impossible, representation of a water storage doomsday countdown.
Watergeddon was the 2nd app built for the App My State competition and was designed to shock but educate. It's a submission to the sustainability category – a category I thought would have the least competition and therefore the highest likelihood of a favorable outcome.
It's a big, in your face counter, one which you have the ability to influence – interactive and fun with a dash of seriousness. A bit like me…
The app also contains a per postcode representation of water usage, because I love visualizing data. A graph showcasing common water usage in the home – did you know that a full load of washing uses up 140 litres of water? And finally, links to several water saving government web resources.
Normally I'd discuss the research conducted about the competition, monetization research, etc in this section, however, this app didn't need any of that. It was a simple data calculation and interaction app.
A little research was conducted when calculating the theoretical watergeddon. I researched all water catchments in Victoria and found their respective volumes – I then divided the total volume by total population * litres of water usage per person per day.
I seriously thought, as simple as this app was, that it may have been in the running. It may have been, but it didn't win. I was/am still quite happy with the outcome – it's fast, it works, it's informative and visually appealing.
No way.
There were two lessons I learnt while building this app:
1. That I definitely need to brush up on my Javascript. If it wasn't for Ray Hilton and his Javascript ninja skills, I wouldn't have finished this app.
2. Being part of a small group of apps submitted, I thought the app would stand out, get noticed and get attention. I was probably right – but the winner stood out just as much. Unfortunately there are no prizes for second.
For me, the lesson formula is: lots of competition = harder to stand out. less competition = easier to stand out – but there are never any guarantees. A formula for common sense more than anything.
Definitely, although if I was to do it again, I would write the app using HTML5 (actually using HTML5 elements) and CSS3.

censusheat is a simple, visual and informative app that showcases census data for postcode regions/polygons.
This app was my third entry in the the App My State competition in 2010 – which was a Victorian Government initiative to give innovation in the Victorian state a kickstart.
I wanted to create an app that was purely map based – since I wanted to explore the Google Maps API in depth. All Google APIs are very powerful yet I rarely see many innovative and complex uses.
The simplicity of this idea was the reason behind little or no research being conducted. I did stumble upon similar sites – all in Flash. :)
The most complex part of this app was getting hold of the polygon information for all Victorian postcode regions. Once I had these, I created KMLs for each particular dataset that I wanted to visualize. I did this by re-using the census information I had from building census/heat. I used the postcode to extract the information and populate that particular KML.
The outcome was a simple to use and informative site which was fast loading and full of useful information.
The app is comprised of four different heatmaps – they are: Monthly House Repayments, Weekly Rental Repayments, Weekly Income Repayments and Postcode Population Density.
I thought of several useful scenarios for the app – one being: to identify suburbs that are going through the gentrification process for potential property investment or home buying.
Other than Advertising – there are no real monetization strategies I could see for censusheat in it's current state. There really didn't need to be any. I looked at it in terms of "What part of censusheat would I pay for?"
If the app was well received by researchers in any field, financial/educational/etc, and gained traction, I would expand it to include more comprehensive heatmaps – leading to a small, one time subscription fee.
Other than learning the Google Maps API and more core Javascript – there weren't many more lessons learnt while building this app.
Of course! It was such a simple app to build that delivered, in my opinion, really good, but limited, information – I would do it again in a heartbeat. In fact, any education/research institutions want a custom heatmap derived from census data? :)

vicholiday was the final submission to the App My State competition. The app queries the Victorian Tourism API for 4 essential holiday making services – accommodation, stuff to do, transportation and tours.
Elevator Pitch
The one stop shop for researching a Victorian holiday destination – get ideas on accommodation, activities, transport to and from and available tours. Add individual items to a short list, print the list out and have a reference when booking.
The light bulb moment for this app occurred when I was inspecting the many sites utilizing the Victorian Tourism API. They all seemed to use the API as an additional feature to their site/app – not as the main feature. I wanted to create an app that was entirely based on the API (a very bad idea which we will discuss further on).
I also wanted to see how much red tape I would have to go through in order to gain access to the API. In fact, the process wasn't too bad – an application email, a response with 50 pages of documentation that had to be read, a phone interview, followed by an acceptance email and appropriate credentials.
I then figured that not many others would be using this API – possibly giving me a better chance of winning the overall competition.
My research consisted of inspecting the different sites/apps that were using the API and how they were using it. I wanted to create an app that encompassed the different parts of researching a holiday destination – not just one.
I was quite pleased with the outcome of the app/site. The app consisted of only a couple of screens. The main screen showcased snippets of the different components - Accommodation, Stuff to Do, Transportation and Tours. Sorting and accessing in depth information about a particular feature was obviously available.
The main feature of the site was the "My Planner" section – a simple but effective way to short list components and view them all from a convenient portal.
Unfortunately since the end of the competition my API access has been revoked, therefore, the site looks very bare… In fact – there is nothing to display. (I should've taken more screenshots…) I can't even link to the screenshots taken for the competition – as the site no longer exists.
Not really – I mean, it's all free data available from Tourism Victoria.
If the site was re-designed and could accept bookings – a booking fee could be charged, however, for this to be a reasonable revenue stream the site would need serious traction. A Victorian Tourism site with serious traction? I don't think so…
There is a very important lesson to learn:
1. Do not base your entire site/app on another site's API or data unless there is a contract in place with serious data access clauses. The fact that the the vicholiday site is bare doesn't cause me any serious harm (other than not being able to show you what it looked like).
Unfortunately, there could be serious implications for a site that hinges it's main revenue stream on data access APIs. Delizzy is an app I built that solely relied on the Delicious.com API – which at one point was throttled.
This is the second time this lesson has come up. Take note!
Definitely – but SOAP is a real bore… You can check out vicholiday at – http://vicholiday.greenlemon.com.au – althought, there won't be much to see…

BARSTOW • Locals filled a decked out Cora Harper Center for the 32nd annual Community Recognition Awards on Saturday.
Several people in the community were presented awards, including Man and Woman of the Year, Students of the Year at four high schools and military personnel of the year.
"The goal has always been to recognize those people, businesses and organizations that go beyond what is expected," Joseph Hisquierdo, spokesman for the Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce said.
Two unique additional awards, Heroic Act of the Year and the Visionary Award, were decided upon this year by the committee of voters made up of past winners of Man and Woman of the Year and Man and Woman of Continuous Service.
Former Mayor Lawrence Dale and former CEO of Barstow Community Hospital Randall Hempling received the Visionary Award for their involvement in bringing the new hospital to Barstow.
"These two gentleman were very instrumental in getting an agreement formed that allowed this new hospital to be built," Hisquierdo said.
Four workers from Santa Fe were awarded the Heroic Act of the Year for their role in helping residents evacuate a trailer fire and possibly saving the lives of those inside in March 2011. The four men were Evaristo Lozano, Eugenio Gallegos, Thomas Sherman and Larry Long.
Amanda Vargas was awarded the Up and Coming volunteer. She was on the ballot twice, once by herself and once with her sister Georgia Vargas for her involvement in several community events including Holiday Meals and the Senior Center.
Rusty Layton of Barstow Transfer & Storage won Man of the Year. He said anytime a charitable cause needs something transported or moved around he's always happy to be there.
"With the amount of good men that were nominated for that I felt very privileged to be voted man of the year," Layton said. "All of the rest of the nominees were outstanding and I was extremely surprised to where I hadn't prepared any kind of a speech."
Dianna Ross said Layton's a very behind the scenes man.
"A lot of people don't realize what he does for the community," Ross said.
The American Cruiser Motorcycle Club in Barstow was recognized as Organization of the Year. Their financial contributions to many charitable causes in the community are tremendous, according to Ross.
The Best Event of the Year was voted as the Barstow Community Hospital Reception and Ribbon Cutting.
The awards began with a social hour at 5 p.m. followed by a dinner and ceremony at 6:30. The dinner was catered by Quigley's and consisted of chicken cordon bleu, mashed potatoes, salad and dessert.
The Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce organizes the event every year and said this year's event was a success.
"There was a good mix of the community." Ross said.
For the second year in a row the new People's Choice Award was given out. Kindergarten teacher Heather Bremen from Skyline North was voted as the winner for 2012. Teacher's Assistant Louise Miller said she is very deserving of the award considering all of the time and effort she volunteers to a new fitness program she started at the school.
"It's what she does outside of the classroom that makes her really amazing," Miller said. "She goes way, way above and beyond."
Miller and staff at the elementary school and children nominated Bremen, who directs the free running club before and after school free of charge to students.
"She's the whole package. Works out and practices what she preaches," Miller said.

Ports of Paradise
"All visitors ashore!""¦ was the familiar call from the ports of Tahiti, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa and our beloved Hawai`i in the 1950s. All who stepped foot on shore fell in love with the mystique and the romance of these magical islands including two distinguished American composers, Alfred Newman and Ken Darby. Combined, these two brilliant men have composed for such award-winning films as The King and I, Wuthering Heights and How the West Was Won. After experiencing the islands, and working with similar arrangements on films South Pacific and Bird of Paradise, they found it impossible to put down their conductor batons and ignore the wondrous and alluring sights and sounds of Hawai`i. In 1960, they produced for Capitol Records, this album, Ports of Paradise, calling it "a culmination and most definitive expression of the enchantment which (they) have found in the moods, the repose, the mystery of those far-off places."Learn More
